Negro Veteran Never Lowered Flag During Thursday Battle
Held Symbol Of American Democracy Aloft As Soldiers And Police Hurl Tear Gas Bombs And Fired Into Ranks Of Bonus Army
The tattered bonus army of former World War veterans were driven out of the District last Thursday by the very government they protected back in 1917 on the fields of France. Despite the fact that the bonus army was recruited with men f. m every section of the country there was no distinction as to race or color. Colored and white from the four corners of the United States met on common ground here for several months and withstood the seige of soldiers and police, shoulder to shoulder. Leaders refused to tolerate any segregation attempt and every man shared alike. His only reference needed to become a member of this rugged army was an honorable discharge certificate.
Hold American Flag
When police and soldiers with bullets and steel drove the men from their shelter on Pennsylvania avenue last Thursday colored and white silently protested as they stood under the shadow of the nation's Capitol as tear gas bombs and bullets were poured into their midst. Leaders of the Bonus Expeditionary Force made of this army a true Democratic group. The American flag was held aloft by a colored man even under a hail of bullets and tear gas. He retreated only after the fearful gas had almost rendered him unconscious. Even in the face of death he held the flag on high and it never touched the ground.
The soldiers who have been dubbed the "Hoover Wooden Army" were composed of young boys who never saw action and many had never fired a gun under the stress of battle as had these veterans of the World War. They were at times awed at the presence of the flag and many hesitated when they saw the flag held by this man.
"Bloody Thursday"
The writer mingled with the men before and after the now famous "Bloody Thursday" when men were shot down. The police and soldiers were the ones to lose their heads. Many veterans were smiling as soldiers and police ran helter-skelter driving the crowds first one way then another. There seemed to be no organized movement among the troops or police. Grimed faced veterans of a former conflict were the only ones to hold their heads under the trying conditions.
Even women and children were trampled by the soldiers who seemed to have completely lost all sense of what they were doing. One veteran told me he would remain until forced out of the building. He was calmly standing with his arms folded looking over the panic stricken crowd.
Orderly Retreat
When the suffocating gas forced the men from the buildings they retreated orderly as true soldiers and sought the open spaces of nearby parks until they were finally rounded out by police and soldiers and driven across the District line. One tall veteran told me he could have routed the whole army and police with a single machine gun, so loosely organized was the "March of the Wooden Soldiers."
Praised Glassford
All veterans were loud in their praise of General Glassford, chief of police. He was the only one in the soothing mass of police and soldiers who appeared to know what it was all about. The officers like most police were anxious to (Continued on Page 3.)

Filipino Held For Grand Jury Action In Death Of Anderssn
Pedro Lacuesta, a Filipino who lives in the janitor's quarters at 115 D street, southeast, was held for the action of the grand jury, Saturday, following an inquest into the death of William Anderson, 35, of 14 M street, northeast, who was stabbed to death in a fight with Lacuesta, Wednesday night, at the D street house.
Anderson died from eight stab wounds about the neck and shoulders at Providence Hospital the following day.
According to a statement given Detective Sergeant Floyd Truscott, of the Homicide Squad, by Lacuesta, the man claimed Anderson came to the apartment in a drunken condition and struck Mrs. Rheda Lacuesta, American colored wife of the Filipino. Later the two men became engaged in a fight and Anderson is alleged to have struck Lacuesta several times with a chair. In self-defense Lacuesta is said to have picked a finger-nail file from a table and struck at Anderson several times.

SHOOTS BROTHER THROUGH HEART IN CRAP GAME
SHOOTS BROTHER THROUGH HEART IN CRAP GAME
A fight over 10 cents in a crap game, Sunday morning, led to the killing of Ralph Lee Minor, 27, and a charge of murder being placed against his brother, Andrew D. Minor, 25, who was held for the action of the grand jury following an inquest at the District Morgue, Wednesday morning.
Ralph Minor died instantly with a bullet wound through the heart, while a group of men and women were engaged in a crap game and liquor party at 1010°1 Naylor's court, northwest.
Witnesses claimed Andrew fired while the injured man was crawling on his knees trying to escape the fusilade of bullets. "He was crawling on his knees like a rat, and I continued to shoot him," Andrew is alleged to have told police, according to a statement by Detective John C. Delglish, of the Homicide Squad.
According to the testimony of George Jackson, the men were gambling and Andrew asked a player for a loan of 10 cents to get back into the game. Ralph is alleged to have replied, "Don't lend him a d—cent," and immediately slapped his brother in the face. In the fight which followed Ralph is alleged to have beaten Andrew and then kicked him down a flight of steps.
Andrew told police he left the house and went to the home of Edward Thomas, 1106 Fourth street, northwest, where he borrowed $1 with which he redeemed a revolver which was in a Seventh street shop. He returned to the house and started firing at his brother, who was sitting on the side of a bed.
Ralph was pronounced dead on arrival of an ambulance from Emergency Hospital. Andrew fled the scene and was later arrested by Officer George W. Absher at 6 Congress court. Those to testify at the coroner's hearing were Annie Greenleaf, 1220 Sixth-and-one-half street; Bernard Thomas, Chas. Jackson, Emmons Emilous Barnett, and Dr. Nathan Shuman, of Emergency Hospital.

AIR LINE REFUSES ACCOMMODATIONS TO NEGRO WOMAN
AIR LINE REFUSES ACCOMMODATIONS TO NEGRO WOMAN
The rank and foul policy of discrimination as practiced by the airline companies across the bridge was disclosed here Tuesday when a woman traveling from Pittsburgh to South Carolina was refused accommodations on a plane after being informed over the telephone that her reservation had been arranged.
The woman, Miss Ethel M. Gillespie, teacher at Bordentown Industrial School of Bordentown, N. J., en route from her home in Pittsburgh, Pa., to Florence, S.C., to attend the funeral of a relative, was forced to remain in the city for the day and continue her journey to Florence by railroad, thereby missing the funeral.
Miss Gillespie, still humiliated and disappointed, related her story of discrimination to a Tribune reporter, at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W.C.A., where she stayed during her wait-over in Washington. The Bordentown school teacher told how she had planned to go to Florence by plane in order to reach the town in time for the funeral of her niece. After getting entangled in a traffic jam in Pittsburgh, causing her to miss her plane from the Pittsburgh Airport, officials of the Pennsylvania Air Lines in Pittsburgh telegraphed to the Eastern Air Transport Company here for a reservation for Miss Gillespie.
The school teacher caught a train to the Capital and arrived in Washington about 7 o'clock Tuesday morning. Immediately upon her arrival in the city Miss Gillespie stated she phoned the Airport to inquire whether or not her reservation was ready. On this occasion, she said, she was told to call later. Two hours later she again phoned and the clerk, apparently unaware that she was colored, informed her that the reservation was O. K. (Continued on page 3)
FORD DRIVEN FROM CITY BY POLICE IN RED ROUNDUP
Communist Candidate For Vice Presidency Begs Not To Be Sent Home
James William Ford, Communist candidate for Vice-President of the United States, was railroaded out of the District, Friday, when he was escorted to the Union Station by police and placed aboard a train headed for New York.
Before being placed on the train Ford and about fifty other reeds were locked up at No. 4 Precinct. The round-up of the reds was in keeping with the policy of the police to halt all radical meetings held here since the outbreak last week between veterans of the World War and soldiers and police, which resulted in the death of two World War veterans and a baby, and injuries to about sixty.
Afraid of Alabama
Ford, whose home is in Alabama, pleaded with the officers not to send him back to that State. He exhibited $12 to police and said he would pay his fare out of the city. Before being escorted to the train he spent 24 hours in a cell at the precinct.
Ford gave his age as 38. Besides Ford, another red arrested gave his name as Orlando E. Hill, a harbor, 300 block of Sixth street, northeast. Ford and his adherants were holding a meeting at Fifth street and Virginia avenue, southeast. Several of those arrested face deportation. Inspector O. T. Davis personally escorted Ford to the train.
Before being arrested Ford had just launched into a bitter attack on the Government and was flaying President Hoover for calling out troops to drive veterans from the city. Ford said in part:
History Making Events
"History is being made in this city today. At this very moment while we are assembled here the United States Cavalry with drawn bayonets and gas masks have surrounded the billets of the ex-servicemen. Infantry men with bayonets and gas bombs are driving out the veterans from their dilapidated government owned quarters. Army tanks and machine guns are ready to fire on veterans. Secretary of War Hurley, and McArthur, the armed forces of the Federal Government together with the police forces of the District of Columbia, have combined to drive out the heroes of 1917.
"The Federal Government has one aim in view—to drive out the Bonus Army from Washington, to hide the starvation, concentrated at the Nation's Capital, from the eyes of the richest country in the World, thousands of men, symbolizing the plight of the whole working class, are hungry and homesick—to crush the spirit of struggle and to remove it as the leading example of the way out for the 15 million unemployed and the millions of partial unemployed throughout the country.
"They do not care whether you starve. They do not come with relief but, with armed troops, Hoover and the ruling class imagines that the action of the armed forces will put an end to the struggle of the ex-Servicemen. But Hoover is suffering from the famous illusions of all exploiters. This action is not the end of struggle, but only the beginning.
"The flame is rising from the veterans' billets and lighting the skies of the Capital. It will light up every corner of this country with a call to battle."

EUGENE JACKSON, DRY AGENT, SHOT TO DEATH IN 'CHI
EUGENE JACKSON, DRY AGENT, SHOT TO DEATH IN 'CHI
Funeral services for Eugene Jackson, slain Federal prohibition agent, who was shot to death in Chicago last Saturday, will be held here Friday from Mount Carmel Baptist Church, of which the deceased was a member.
Jackson was killed as he attempted to arrest an unidentified man on a liquor charge, according to reports. Jackson was shot six times and was killed instantly, Chicago police are seeking Drew Clark, 35, as the slayer of Jackson. With Jackson at the time of the shooting was J. R. Fletcher, a narcotic agent.
According to his wife, the former Miss Lillie Mae Twitty, Jackson and Jimmie Fletcher, a colored narcotic agent, also formerly of Washington, were seated in the front room of the Jackson apartment, 3805 South Parkway, when Mrs. Jackson spotted a car drive up to the front of the apartment and said to her husband, "There is the usual Sunday morning delivery." Jackson against the advice of his wife went down and waited for the driver of the car to come out. Fletcher accompanied him and they asked the alleged bootlegger when he came out if he knew where two thirsty men could procure a drink. He hesitated, and when shown Jackson's car with District of Columbia license plates, said he would return with a jar of liquor, but at the first sign of crooked work he was going to start shooting. As soon as the man departed Jackson said to Fletcher, "I haven't a gun," to which Fletcher is quoted as replying, "I have mine here in my bag." Jackson then went up and got a dollar to pay for the whiskey and came back to find that Clarke, the alleged bootlegger, had returned and was talking to Fletcher. The man then gave the liquor to Jackson, who

I Street Home Is Scene Of Early Morning Affray Sunday
Apparently in a fit of rage, Robert Johnson, 23, ran amuck with a gun early Sunday morning, shooting his wife and then committing suicide by shooting himself.
The wife, Cornelia Johnson, 22, was still in a serious condition at Emergency Hospital, late Wednesday afternoon. Answering a summons at the man's home, 339 I street, southwest, about 3 am, on Sunday morning, police found Johnson lying on the dining room floor, his smoking pistol still clutched in his right hand.

The Department of the Districts of Columbia Legion fourteenth annual convention was thrown into an uproar at the closing session on Thursday night when Mrs. Joseph H. Mims, white Department Unit president, sought to suspend the James E. Walker Unit, No. 26, which is headed by Mrs. Julia West Hamilton.
Instead of the Walker Unit, which is a women's auxiliary, being suspended the Legion voted to immediately suspend all relations with the American Legion Auxiliary of the Department of the District of Columbia and to petition the National Auxiliary to suspend the charter pending action at a succeeding Department convention. No Charges Preferred.
No Charges Preferred
The first intimation that the Walker Unit was to be suspended was on July 15, when Mrs. Hamilton received a communication from Mrs. Mims stating that the Walker Unit "has failed to comply with the constitution and by-laws of this department. I am hereby suspending the charter of the James E. Walker Unit No. 26, for a period of six months from this date, July 15, 1932, as a disciplinary measure, as provided in Article 5, Section 1, of the Department bylaws."
Mrs. Hamilton called Mrs. Mims over the telephone and sought to find out why the Walker Unit was being suspended, but Mrs. Mims refused to discuss the matter. Mrs. Mims also reused to place any charges against the Unit in writing or verbally before the convention.

BAPTIST MINISTER RAPS SELFISHNESS OF WORLD TODAY
Declaring that the "Sin of Selfishness" has gripped the world today, the Rev. John Paul Nichols, pastor of the Mount Herman Baptist Church, warned the world of its baneful effects in a forceful 90-minute address to the Baptist Minister's' Conference of Washington and Vicinity, holding its closing session at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, Monday. His subject was taken from the text, "None of us liveth to himself" Romans 14:7.
He said in part: "Selfishness is a fault which injures and degrades the soul. It lessens a man in the estimation of others; and if an unbiased verdict of one's conscience was in control, that man would think less even of himself. To deny ourselves for the good of others, to love those whom we are bound to love with a pure and unselfish affection, to labor for our country's good with a true and disinterested heart—this is the real secret of unity and happiness in families and neighborhoods, and of peace and prosperity in the State. To rejoice with those who rejoice and to weep with those who weep is a most important rule of the Christian code."
Continuing his address the Rev. Nichols said, 'Take the so-called polished literary man. His mind is cultivated with uncommon care. His taste is exquisite and refined. All departments of letters have been more or less explored. The embracing of Christianity has cost him nothing. So the priceless treasures of Christianity have added to his stores. Now there is certainly nothing to find fault with here. But the truth is, the cultivation of such tastes and habits causes dangers to spring up which did not exist before. Ordinary society becomes irksome. Any other than a literary atmosphere is hard to breathe. Sympathy with sorrow and suffering, especially when found among stupid ignorance and squalid poverty, soon hegins to deaden and decay. Selfishness is prevening upon the heart.
"Self is the hope and plan of every rich man. The man professes to be a Christian, but no sacrifice will be made to prove himself sincere. The world in its folly, in its selfishness, has forgotten, God, the God who breather into their nostrils the breath of life."
In a dramatic conclusion, his forehead and face wet with perspiration, Rev. Nichols declared that if President Herbert Hoover had spoken the words of George Washington in his farewell address when he said to his countrymen, "Citizens by birth or choice of a common, country or cause, that country or cause has a right to your affection," the occasion to call out troops to evict the bonus seekers would never have arisen. He finished, "I warn you in a most solemn manner against the baneful effects of party spirit or selfishness."
Negro Graduates Distinguish Themselves
The 1932 parade of Negro graduates in American colleges forms a stupendous record of mass and individual racal achievement. There were 1,845 young people who took degrees at colored colleges and 484 Negro graduates from Northern institutions, according to the annual education survey published in the August issue of The Crisis magazine. Seven Negro students received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 2 were elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and 3 to Sigma XI. Rutgers, Bates, Colgate and Berea colleges conferred honorary degrees on colored men.
WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE-- WITHOUT CALOMEL
And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Barin' to Go
If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, laxative candy or chewing gum and expel them to make you and suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of smirgha.
You can't do it. They only move the bowels and a more movement doesn't get at the sause. The rosson for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour two pounds of liquid bile into it. This bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just dumps in the bowels. Gas boils up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is faint, often breaks out in blisters. You can't eat. Your whole system is poisoned.
It takes these good, old CARTER'S LUTINE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." They contain worm-like amaras when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
But don't ask for lingerie. Ask for
Garter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the

Man Awakes, Finds Bullet In Pillow
(CNS) — Awakening on the morning of July 26, Francis Wilkes of the 1600 block of Eleventh street northwest, was fairly amazed to find that during the night someone had taken a pot shot at him through his bed room window while he slept. Wilkes found the bullet lodged in his pillow and upon examination found that it had been fired through his bed room window. Wilkes told police that he could not account for the shot as he has no enemies and no one that he knows would have a motive for wishing to harm him. He had not been awakened by the sound of the shot.
DEAN HOLMES ATTACKS SCHOOL SEGREGATION
NEW YORK (CNS)—Decrying separate school systems for Negroes in a democracy committed to the principle of equality, Dean Dwight O. Holmes, of the College of Education of Howard University, addressing the Negro Education Conference at Teachers' College Columbia University, asked educators to realize the pernicious results of such segregation and to separate Negro children from white only when some grave emergency arises.
"Negroes object, and object justly to segregation for three reasons," Dean Holmes said. "First, segregation always implies inequality of status and that one group is dangerous to the other; second, segregation always means inferior accommodations for those segregated; and third, segregation prevents the races from knowing each other through the usual means of communication.
"Those States of the Union in which, at the present time, the dominant social opinion considers the physical separation of the races necessary are the very ones that are the poorest and the least able to afford the luxury of the dual school system. Hence, the Negro, being the weaker group, is very naturally, but very decidedly, discriminated against in the provision of educational facilities."
Dean Holmes is on sabbatical leave and is studying at Columbia this year.
Dr. Jackson Davis, assistant director of the General Education Board, addressed this conference July 27. He stated that the depression had checked the rapid increase in the number of college students. Mr. Davis said that the number of Negroes in colleges rose from 2,000 in 1916, to 24,645 for the 1929-30 session, and fell during the last session to 20,000.

Finds $1,000 Bill But Mistakes It For Beer Label
BALTIMORE, Md. (CNS) — James Allen, colored, last week found a $1,000 bill, but until informed by a friend of its value mistook it for a label from a beer keg.

Mrs. Lovett Having Success In Sewing At Camp Pleasant
Camp Pleasant was honored on July 28 with the presence of Walter S. Ufford, general secretary of the Summer Outings Committee of the Associated Charities. After having dinner, Mr. Ufford gave the camp a thorough inspection and reported that he had never seen the camp looking better.
John Joy Edson, Washington's "Grand Old Man," and chairman of the Summer Outings Committee, expects to visit the camp during the next week or so.
It is by virtue of the Summer Outings Committee of the Associated Charities that Camp Good Will for white citizens and Camp Pleasant for Negro citizens of the District of Columbia are operated each summer. These camps offer a two weeks' vacation to fatigued mothers and their children. The children range in ages from two weeks to twelve years.
The third party which is now at camp is making the best of everything offered. Everybody is up and doing. Besides the food, rest periods during the day and the long hours, of sleep during the night, there are numerous activities offered to all campers, small and large. The activities include swimming, hiking, rope-jumping, wrestling, boxing, horse shoe pitching, baseball, volley ball, storytelling, dodge ball, group games, and also classes in singing, sewing, drawing, painting, sculpturing, and dramatic art. The mothers are given lectures on various phases of home life: balanced diets, proper baby diets, home beautification, cleanliness, methods of remodeling old clothes, etc.
Mrs. Louise J. Lovett, assistant superintendent, has been very successful with the mothers in this party with their sewing. Many have made dresses for their children. One mother had no girl and she has made a suit for her little boy. The dresses will be stenciled with an original camp scene and will be on exhibition in the studio on Friday evening, August 5.
One of the recent innovations at camp was a mammoth birthday party given in honor of all whose birthdays occurred during the month of July, both campers and workers were included.
The program of the third party will be given on Friday, August 5, at 6:30 p.m. The public is cordially invited.

GYPSY HYPNOTIZES WOMAN & STEALS GOODS AND MONEY
(CNS)—Mary Gordon, of the first block of Rhode Island avenue, northwest, reported to police here last week that a dark-skinned Indian-looking woman hypnotized her and stole from her home household goods amounting to $36.50 and $105 in cash.
The woman called to tell her fortune and while purporting to do so is alleged to have hypnotized the Gordon woman, who claims that the woman stole several pieces of household goods from her and took $105 in cash from her person while she was in a hypnotic condition.
This marks the second time within recent weeks that gypsies and other fakers have swindled people under the guise of possessing some occult power. A woman in the southwest section of the city a few weeks ago lost $402. The gypsies in this case were caught in Philadelphia by Detective Howard Smith, of headquarters. The Philadelphia judge declined to have them returned to Washington, stating that the woman had her money and there was no need to take them back to Washington. The grand jury is expected to return an indictment against them.

22,578 MEN CARED FOR BY SALVATION ARMY HERE
One of the best evidences that automobile drivers are taking the "hitch" out of hitch hiking is furnished by the report of the Salvation Army for the first six months of 1932 showing that 2,077 pairs of shoes have been furnished 1q transient men in that period. In every instance, Adjutant Gilbert S. Decker, in charge of this work for the Army, points out, the shoes were entirely gone and beyond repair, replacement being the only method by which the applicant could be provided with foot gear.
The report for the first half of 1932 issued by Major James J. Asher, commanding the District of Columbia Division of the Salvation Army shows that 16,716 white men received care from Community Chest funds through the Salvation Army during this six months. These men were given 62,742 meals and 1,862 garments in the period of time as well as 32,526 nights' lodgings. In addition to this group 5,862 colored men received 26,029 meals and 17,229 nights' lodging at the Salvation Army Emergency Home for colored.
"One of the darkest aspects of this picture," Major Asher said yesterday, "is that 2,859 of these men are only 20 years of age and younger. Many of them are on the road' for the first time but there is a large percentage who are rapidly acquiring the philosophy of 'anthing to get by' under the tutelage of the professional hobo and pan-handlers with whom they have been associated. Circumstances, of course, have forced some of them out on the road, but they are finding this method of life more and more difficult.
"For instance one of the boys who asked for shoes had notnig left but the uppers, the soles were entirely gone. He was the oldest of a family of ten. The mill had been closed. The community relief allowance was meager. The boy felt that he was a burden on his family and decided to go out and seek opportunity elsewhere. He had not yet found it when he reached Washington and came to us for help.
"When we figure that a man 30 years of age is still considered a young man and then find that 5,428 more of this group that came to us for aid were under that age, the prospect looks still darker because it shows that the younger man is replacing the old time hobo and pan-handler on the road. If it had not been for the Community Chest Funds, I do not see how the Salvation Army could ever have met the demands that have been made upon it this year."
Our country is now entering upon a destiny so great as already to arrest the attention of the entire world.

RE-ELECT REV'REND
AUGUSTUS LEWIS
All Incumbent Officers Will Serve Another Term; Meet Again In October
Following a five-hour session which was featured by a final sermon by Rev. John P. Nichols, and the annual reports of officers, members of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Vicinity re-elected Rev. Augustus Lewis, pastor of the Jerusalem Baptist Church, president of the conference for the second time. All other officers of the present administration were also re-elected.
They are Rev. Robert Anderson, first vice-president; Rev. K. W. Roy, second vice-president; Rev. Luther T. Hughes, secretary; Rev. H. T. Gaskins, treasurer; Rev. J. B. Bundrant, historian; Rev. Sylvester Walker, statistician; and Professor O. G. Grandersa, pianist. The election of the entire staff of officers was almost unanimous. Rev. George O. Bullock presided during the election.
After the withdrawal of the invitation to hold the next year's session at the Tenth Street Baptist Church by its pastor, Rev. Alexander Wilbanks, who apparently became incensed because several of the members objected to changing the meeting place of the conference, the conference voted to again meet at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, of which Rev. W. Taylor is pastor.
Though the annual reports of the secretary and treasurer were not complete and will not be approved until the re-opening of the conference session early in October, the reports indicated that the conference has a cash balance on hand of $37.89. Over $700 has been given in benevolence by the conference, the report of the benevolent committee showed. The membership, committee approved the admission of Rev. J. Veney and Rev. David Pollard, of Mt. Bethel Baptist Church to the conference. Visitors to the conference at its last meeting of the conference year were Rev. J. A. Nimbo of Greenville, N.C.; William Stevens, representative of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company, of this city, and Rev. A. A. Campbell, assistant pastor of the Little Mount Zion Baptist Church, of New York City.

MASONIC MUSINGS
The Most Worshiful Grand Master, Frank D. McKinney, has been confined to his bed during the past week by a sudden attack of appendicitis, but at the present time is on the road to recovery. While indisposed the drive which he had launched through the lodges during July and August is being properly carried out by the Deputy Grand Master, George M. Ambler. Bro. Ambler gave a splendid example of his ability to carry on, in his addresses last week in Felix, Meridian, Warren, and Social Lodges.
Most of the Masonic bodies who were to meet in August in the city of Philadelphia, have called off their sessions, due to the general depression and unemployment situation. This will necessitate the calling off of the second large meeting of the Prince Hall National Masonic Shrine Association as this meeting was arranged to coincide with the national and international gathering in Philadelphia. The executive committee will meet on August 9, at 5 p.m., in the board room of the Masonic Temple at which time a date will be set for the coming session.
The Order of the Eastern Star is making wonderful preparations for the Bi-Centennial Pageant to be presented at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. This will be the second activity launched by Grand Royal Matron Josephine C. Butts.

A colored soldier, said to have been Walter Griffin, Chattanooga, Tenn., stood with three or four companions, quietly on the sidewalk across from the Navy Yards, holding an American flag. The infantry followed some distance behind the cavalry.
When the cavalry had passed, Griffin and his companions in a little formation started to fall in behind and follow them across the bridge. The crowd began to cheer wildly and rushed in behind them.
When they had advanced a few paces, the rear guard of the cavalry wheeled around and faced the little group of Bonus Marchers, who halted and stood there calmly. In a flash a tear gas bomb popped a short distance ahead of Griffin and his little band in such a spot that the slight breeze carried most of the gas directly to their faces.
At the explosion, the heroes of 1917 and '18 jumped back a step or two. There they halted, their shoulders back and heads erect. There they stood. The fumes swirled all around them. The crowd began to scatter.

Again wild cheering filled the air and the people moved back slowly to join Griffen and his companions, still standing fast.

One company was broken up when some civilian reached in and started to jerk the soldiers out of line. For a moment there was wild confusion. Many of the people began to scatter. Griffen and his men stood firm. In about two minutes the crowd quieted down. Company after company marched by. Not an officer looking up. Many of the soldiers looked scared and most of those mere boys nung their heads as if in shame.

CAMP CLARISSA SCOTT NEWS
CAMP CLARISSA SCOTT NEWS
Camp Clarissa Scott opened, Monday, July 25, with a large group, as the new and old campers wandered about the buildings for their stay in camp. The week was most interesting and full of regular camp activities. After supper, Monday evening, all the campers gathered in a circle for get acquainted hour. Active games, led by Miss Mary Sims, specialized counselor in swimming, were played. Then followed camp songs, after which all went to bed with smiling faces, awaiting the happenings of the following day.
Swimming is a popular sport for the campers. Under the direction of Miss Mary Sims they are learning the simple strokes rapidly. Land drills and water games have not only been beneficial but enjoyable as well. Regular tests will be given each week-end. Another interesting sport is slog ball. Evenings after supper competitive games are played with good sportsmanship among all players. Friday evening a weiner roast took the place of the regular evening meal. The fire was built down by the lake on the camp site for the roasting. Marshmallows, lemonade and bananas made the camp fire supper very delicious.
During the week a program was worked out by the campers for the regular Saturday stunt night. The program included camp songs, readings, health stunts, pyramids building, tap dancing, and a very unique wedding. The audience was very appreciative and from their expressions it's known they will come often and bring their friends. Craft periods were used for
painting the chairs and tables on the porches. Other work included decorated vases and drawings.
A new and interesting feature of the camp is the weekly newspaper published by the campers.
The staff of last week was as follows: Editor, Doris Diggs; assistant editor, Ethel Newman; manager, Sarah Dill; business manager, Marjorie Garnett; reporter, Rosina Mitchell. Copies of the paper are on sale each week-end; three cents local and five cents if mailed. The following poem is an original contribution by one of the campers:
Camp Fire Girls
Camp fire girls are merry old souls.
And merry old souls are we;
We play all games and win all fames.
And can even climb a tree. We rise at six-thirty and then begin our fun, Our day is always well planned and orderly run.
We eat and sleep and race and run,

By "FLASH" ROBESON
The Hillsdales Pride of LeDroit Park, continued their winning streak by defeating the Virginia White Sox, champions of Arlington County, by the scores of 21-0 and 8-5, Sunday. The first game was a complete massacre, the Virginians completely went to pieces, making seven errors of commission and numerous errors of omission. The Sox at no time looked like the club that has given all of the leaders a hard tussle.
Williams in Form
Hank Williams, former ace of Armstrong High School, was in rare form, allowing only six scattered hits and making eight whiff the ozone. Harry "Soup" Turner, who relieved Dick Temple, who is suffering with a bad leg, hit a home run with one on. "Runt" White, "Effe" Williams and "Reds" Wooden led the "Dales at the bat, while "Speed" Johnson and White shone in the field for the visitors. The only bright spot in the losers' play was the wonderful fielding of L. Lewis on second, who on several occasions raced back in the field and robbed the "Dales of what looked like sure bingles.
Sox Score Two Runs
Sox Score Two Runs
In the night cap the Virginians scored two runs off the offerings of "Bis" Frazier, the "Dales" ace, in the second and third innings, and the large crowd of rooters, augmented by a good number of the fairer sex, almost went insane, making a loud hurrah, but their joy was short lived, for the "Dales scored three runs to take the lead in the fourth off the slants of E Lewis, and after this the game became one of great excitement, first one team and then the other taking the lead until the eighth when the Virginians tied the score, 5-11.
Class of the League
The ninth inning showed the reason why the Hillsdales are the sensations of the league always showing that spirit that exists in the bosoms of all great fighters, the boys from LeDroit Park, favored by Lady Luck batted out three runs and when the dust had cleared game No. 13 was in the bag.
E. Lewis pitched a remarkable game and would have been the victor, no doubt, if his team mates had played the brand of ball they played in previous games. Carter led the Virginians at the bat.
The entire 'Dale team functioned well behind "Bus" Frazier, and no one was outstanding, unless the fine work of O. Butler behind the bat may be mentioned.
This lad is turning out to be one of the best receivers in the District, possessing a good head and a fine throwing arm.
He is timing his throws better this season and for that reason is throwing more accurately.
Kemp Praised
Kemp, who umpired both games, must be complimented in his wonderful work. He is proving one of the best in the District, barring none, since the lamented late Danny Despert. At times the rendering of his decisions may be questioned by the ones who are not favored, but on all occasions he is fair and above board. If the fans and players would try and improve their brand of sportsmanship and playing, instead of baiting the decisions of the umpire, baseball would draw larger crowds and better financial conditions of the sport.
The manager and officers of the Hillsdales wish to express their thanks to the Virginia. White Sox management for their wonderful brand of sportsmanship on the diamond and off.
Tigers Whip Giants
The Washington Giants tried an iron man stunt, playing three games in one day, losing two to the LeDroit Tigers by the scores of 21-1 and 5-4, and the third game a seven-inning affair with the Rajahs, ending 2-all.
In the opener the Tigers hammered the offerings of Clint Brown, the lad who proved so troublesome last Sunday. They rapped out ten husky oingles and two scratch hits and scored twelve runs. "Yellow" Payne led the Tigers in hitting. The complete Tiger team hit hard. In the second game, Grant former Black Sox pitcher, toed the mound for the Giants and completely had the Tigers baffled until the eighth inning, when the Tigers came to life and scored four runs off an error and three singles to win the ball game.
In this game, aside from Grant's gilt-edge pitching, another new addition to the Giants' roster, featured in the game, Butler, the new gardener, proved a sensation in left field, sharing the

MORGAN COLLEGE STAR STRANDED
Went To Los Angeles To Compete In Olympic, Failed To Qualify
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Clinton Taylor, Morgan College athlete and distance runner, is stranded in this city and is seeking funds to return East. Taylor was sent here by Elks of his home town, Baltimore, to run in the 26-mile marathon, but was left without funds to return home after the trials.
Young Taylor is a student of Morgan College and under the coaching of Milton Dorsey, athletic director of the Elks he placed in the Eastern trials and qualified to compete in the Olympiad. The college allegedly not having funds to back him, the Elks raised a fund and sent him to Palo Alto. At first he prevailed upon them to permit him to compete and he ran in the trials. He failed to place, so now should be accorded facilities to return. Local Elks who have learned of his commendable attempt to carry the colors of Elkdom into the long grind against the representatives of the many other nations have gotten interested and may take some steps to help provide funds for his return.
Taylor was formerly a star in both the 15 and the 26 mile handicap, and arriving in time for the L. A. Daily Times street marathon he placed second until the course was half run, but not being supplied with drinking water in time, fell behind.
honors with center fielder Harris. "Red" Powell proved an iron man, going the route in both games to get a dual victory over the Giants.
In the night cap between the Giants and Rajahs, which ended in a tie, the features of this game were the pitching of both slab artists with L. Brown having the edge over Addison of the Rajahs.
DePriest-Huntsville Split
The DePriest A.C. and Huntsville shared a dual bill on the Huntsville grounds by the scores of 7-2 and 10-6. Robinson, on the mound for the Maryland boys, had the northeast boys at his mercy, allowing only 6 hits and striking out 8. He was opposed by Banks, the youthful star of DePriest, who pitched creditable ball, striking out ten.
Corbett Leads at Bat
Corbett led the Priestmen at the bat, having a perfect day, getting 3 hits out of 3 times at bat. Trippett turned in the fielding feature of the day when he raced deep back in left field to catch a high fly off the fence, with two men on the sacks and two out. Randolph and Crump led the Marylanders at the stick, while Bobbie Hawkins played a good game afield.
The night cap was a hard-hitting affair, the Marylanders getting 10 hits and the northeast club men garnering 17 off the combined offerings of the Marylanders' slabmen.
The feature of this game was the hitting of the entire northeast team, even yman getting at least one hit.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
LEGION "9" TAKES MEASURE OF ACES
Mickey Stripling Leads Team To Wins Over Aces And Marions
A determined American Legion Walker Post nine, ventured twice behind the enemy lines of the Aces and Marion A.C., and on both occasions were successful in ousting their rivals from their encampments. In other words they trounced the team, by an overwhelming 17 to 8 score, which only a week before had come from behind and snatched victory from within their grasp and once again turned back the scrappy Marions, 7 to 3.
Led by Ernest (Mickey) Stripling, the little fellow with a big bat, the Legion representatives slammed the combined offerings of Eddie George and Bull Harris for 20 reverberating safeties, including five home runs and six two-basers which were good for thirty-two bases.
Mickey Stripling enjoyed a perfect day at bat, slamming the white pellet for three doubles, a single and round trip clout. However, he was not alone in the lime-light, being ably aided by Tignor and Smart, the former garnering two singles and a homer in five tries at the counting block, while the latter had to be satisfied with two homers and one of his specialties, a two-baser. Webb also was awarded a four-baser in this spree, when Humpty Jackson loafed on his linier over first.
Every Post gladiator hit safely at least once, excluding Midget Powell, who performed so brilliantly in the center field patch on Saturday at Falls Church, Va.
On the mound for the winners was that diminutive performer, Lefty Cary, whose sensational one-hit performance against Dunbar for Tech, at the Amreican League Park is still alive in the minds of followers of diamond activities in Washington. Although offerings were spanked for nine bingles, he kept them fairly well scattered over the route. Eleven of the Aces, who were not Aces, fanned at the ozone, air or "what have you" trying in vain to even foul the deceptive slants of the tiny Cary.
Oswald Glymth traveled to the batting tee in behalf of the Aces and banged out three hits in as many tries.
Rained out on Wednesday, the Legion nine again took the field on Friday and with Karl Fearing on the hill screeed a 7 to 3 win over the Marions, amid much argument on the part of "Snowball" Cyrus.
The contest was slow, listless and dull with Billy Delaney, otherwise known as the "toothless wonder," appearing as third sacker for the Marions, but evidently rooting secretly for the Youngmen, inasmuch as he committed five errors over the course of the seven-inning fray.
Baton honors for the day were divided among Nat Randolph, Alfred Smart and the aforementioned Mickey Stripling, all of the Post nine. The former banged out two one-bassers in four trips to the plate, while Smart contributed two doubles in three tries, and Stripling spanked the offerings of Johnson for a two-baser and round trip clout.
Caroline Fearing performed brilliantly on the mound, allowing only five scattered one-basers over route.

TOLAN CAPTURES 200-METER RACE
Detroit Youth Is Crowned World Double Sprint
Champion
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—For the first time since 1912 an American is the double sprint champion of the world, and that individual is an American Negro, Eddie Tolan, of Detroit, who raced to a decisive victory in the Olympic 200-meter final here Wednesday before 85,000 spectators. Tolan's brilliant sprint lowered the Olympic record to 21.2 seconds.
It was on Monday that this same Tolan beat the world's fastest sprinters to capture the 100-meter dash in a new time.
The 100 and 200 meter dashes are considered the cream of the Olympics and is to track what the derby is to racing. It was left to an American youth to give these two brilliant victories to the United States.
Tolan's time was 21.2 seconds, a new Olympic record, slicing two-tenths of a second off the best mark made in the record-breaking trials yesterday.
It was another sweep for the United States, the second of the day, as George Simpson finished second and Ralph Metcalfe third. Arthur Jonath, of Germany, was fourth; Carlos Lutti, of Argentina, fifth, and Bill Waters, of South Africa, sixth and last.
Tolan's triumph as the double Olympic sprint champion marked the first time since 1920 that the United States has captured both 100 and 200 meter dashes, thereby restoring American prestige that has been pretty well battered along the world's speedways since the war.
The last American double winner was Ralph Craig, University of Michigan spinner, who captured both Olympic dashes at Stockholm in 1912. Since then, the only American victories had been those of Charley Paddock in the 100-meter sprint, 1920; Alan Woodring in the 200-meters, 1920; and Jackson Scholz in the same race, 1924. Tolan, whose comeback reached its peak in the Olympics, twice turned the tables on his bigger rival, Ralph Metcalfe, of Marquette, who won both American sprint championships in the final try-outs at Palo Alto. Tolan won going away. He came with a terrific rush down the straightway after the sweep around the turn, finishing two yards in front of Simpson. Metcalfe was off poorly and never able to make up lost ground in the final drive, despite a powerful effort.
Tolan's time was the fastest ever made around a turn for the 200, the world record of 20.6 having been registered on a straightway. Metcalfe's defeat in the longer race was a much bigger surprise than his 2-inch setback in the 100, for the younger and ranger of the Americans was considered better at the 200-meter than his rival. Metcalfe, however, got an unusually poor start in the final. In addition he lost ground on the turn, around which all Olympic 200-meter races are run, and this left him too much ground to make up in the final drive. He just failed to catch George Simpson, who raced close to Tolan most of the way and gave ground only in the last few dozen strides.
The 1928 double winner, Percy Williams, of Canada, failed to reach either final in defense of his championships. He was eliminated in the 100-meter semifinals and did not start at all in the 200 meters. 200-METER RUN FINALS—Won by Eddie Tolan, U.S.A. (2 yards); second, George Simpson, U.S.A. (6 inches); third, Ralph Metcalfe, U.S.A. (1 foot); fourth, Arthur Jonah, Germany (2 feet); fifth, Carlos Lutti, Argentina (1 yard); sixth, William Walters, South Africa. Time, 21.2 seconds. (New Olympic record, former record, 21.4, set by Lutti and Jonah in Tuesday's quarter-finals.)

URBAN LEAGUE DENIES SENDING NEGROES SOUTH
In view of the impression that has ten gained in many quarters that efforts have been made in Newark, N.J., to induce unemployed Negroes from the South to return South, and that the New Jersey Urban League through its executive secretary, Thomas L. Puryear, is co-operating in this effort, the National Urban League, through its executive secretary, Eugene Kincle Jones, has issued a statement denying that the League is a party to any such program. Mr. Jones' statement is as follows:
"The Urban League has always sought to follow good social work procedure in handling tases of persons handicapped by unemployment or other social ills. It was the first organization which brought thousands of Negroes from the South to the North at a time when there was a call by industry for workers during and following the World War. It has in season and out of season worked untimely to open up new lines of employment and to secure advancement on the job for Negroes in all lines of industry. It has never equivocated and it has never advocated any effort or any policy which would in the least compromise Negro citizens.
The report from Mr. Puryear, executive secretary of the New Jersey Urban League, to the National office in regard to the present affair included the following statement:
"As you know and I know, it is constitutionally impossible to transport American citizens against their wish to any section of the United States, consequently, we did not suggest anything that could have been interpreted to mean the wholesale transportation of Negroes to any section of the country. Our primary and only interest was in assisting Negro families who had decided that they could not adjust themselves in their new environment and expressed a desire to return to their place of legal settlement."
"The League in Newark, and in other cities has on many occasions arranged for the free transportation of indigent Negro families to their places of legal residence, where relatives and friends had previously agreed to support these unfortunates until they could make proper adjustment. The Newark League has had cases of individuals and families who sought transportation to, such northern points as Hartford, Conn.; Cleveland, and Detroit, and such western points as Kansas City.
"The League regrets very much the unfortunate publicity which certain newspapers issued to distort the actual faqs in regard to the League's connection with the New Jersey affair, but we wish it to be understood clearly by the public that the League does not feel that any southern State is better able to take care of the unemployed within its boundaries than is the State of New Jersey; and that, therefore, the League will not enter into any agreement with any State or local officials to coerce or to urge Negroes to return to the South or any other part of the country against their will."

AUBREY LYLES, OF 'SHUFFLE ALONG' FAME, IS DEAD
Famous Comedian of Stage Dies Following Operation
NEW YORK. — Aubrey Lee Lyles, famous comedian, died here Thursday night of a bronchial infection and gastric ulcers. His death came while he was a patient at a sanatorium. He had been ill at the sanatorium for three weeks, but had been sick for several months. Lyles was born in Jackson, Tenn., and was 49 years of age at the time of his death. He attended Fisk University at Nashville, where he became interested in amateur theatricals, and teamed with Flournoy Miller. The partnership continued through the years from small-time vaudeville to the big-time "Shuffle Along" in 1921. He was married and had two children.
First Public Act
The first public act of Miller and Lyles was entitled "Blessed With Ignorance." It was performed in the Pekin and made an instant hit. Although the Pekin was a thriving center for the development of talent, then, as now, the East and Broadway were the Mecca for aspiring artists, and after their success in Chicago, Miller and Lyles, whose careers read as one, made their way over hurdles to this city. Once they reached here, the team repeated its successes and became one of the notable acts on the old Keith circuit.
Lyles, the little man of the team, contrived to involve himself in situations which demanded bravado and the exercise of discretion. In his character, he was brave until the time came to flee and generous in the distribution of his bits of heavy wisdom. He was ridiculously funny. Perhaps the best known stunt developed by the team was its boxing act. In this display the bulky Miller was challenged by the midget Lyles into a pugilistic travesty which has become a classic on the American stage.
Met Sissle and Blake
In the post-war period when the team of Miller and Lyles was at the peak of its popularity in Keith
BROADWAY A LIGHTMAN THEATRE
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY AUGUST 5, 1932
vaudeville houses, a memorable meeting took place between them and the musical team of Sissle and Blake. Such songs as "I'm So Wild About Harry," "Love Will Find a Way," and others, had been composed by the team and played in small groups where the talent met in this city. The two teams agreed that they ought to do something together.
Out of that agreement grew "Shuffle Along," one of the most notable musical comedies in the history of the Negro in the American theatre. It brought together a combination of songs and dancing, comedy and comedy situations which proved an instant and lasting hit. Sissle and Blake were the music masters; Miller and Lyles, the authors.
It was in "Shuffle Along" that Lyles, boastful, big-talking character earned lasting fame. He and Miller were cast as the chief officials of a Utopia called Jim Town, in which there was nothing but singing, dancing, shooting craps, pretty girls and an occasional bit of lying, stealing or shooting. Miller was the mayor of that deceitable city, a hurly, burly mayor, proudly proclaimed, and Lyles the mite, was the loud-mouthed chief of police, exercising not only his authority, but sometimes spreading out into the affairs of the mayor. "Shuffle Along" played two years on Broadway, the took to the road. Most of the larger cities in the North were played during its third year up until it broke up because of alleged misunderstanding between the two teams of producers, each of which had come into considerable means.
Other Shows Failed
Other Shows Failed
However, neither team gave up the desire to produce plays. Miller and Lyles made four attempts to duplicate the success of "Shuffle Along," in "Running Wild," "Keep Shuffin'." "Rang Tang" and "Sugar Hill." Each show was a disappointment and money loser.
The team, however, maintained its popularity and when it was not trying to produce a show, found welcome berths in George White's "Scandals," and other high class productions.
It was charged by many persons that the famous radio team of Amos 'n' Andy had copied its manner and material from Miller and Lyles. These latter sought to collect damages, insisting that Amos was a copy of Miller and Andy, of Lyle, and that Miller and Lyles' gags had been filched. They met with no success in their suit and later contracted to provide the Columbia Broadcasting System with a similar act which failed to achieve the popularity of alleged imitators.
"MERRILY WE GO TO HELL" OPENS AT BOOKER T.
Fredric March and Sylvia Sidney are playing opposite each other for the second time. Yet "Merrily We Go To Hell" is the first film in which they have played together. This picture is the Booker T. Theatre's feature attraction for the next seven days. Their previous experience at make-believe love-making tock place in Denver several seasons ago. At that time, March was moving across the country from stock company to stock company and Miss Sidney, discouraged by Broadway conditions, signed with the same troupe. March was the leading man and Miss Sidney the ingeneer for a season.
March then wert to Los Angeles where he played in "The Royal Family" and won a screen contract. Miss Sidney returned to New York and after several shows scored a success in "Bad Girl" which likewise brought her a Paramount contract.

DOMESTIC WORK TAKES IN MANY WHITE WOMEN
DOMESTIC WORK TAKES IN MANY WHITE WOMEN
The Women's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor states some interesting facts relative to white and colored women who have to find means of employment to make their living. Mary Anderson, director of the Women's Bureau, says that approximately eleven million women reported as wage earners in 1930, an increase of almost two and a quarter million or 26 per cent over 1920, are the result of a steadily changing economic and social order. The chief forces behind the evolution of women's work during a century from unpaid services in the home to remunerative jobs outside have been: the transplanting of industries from home to factory, rising standards and cost of living, need of women to provide or supplement the family income, and use of labor-saving devices in the home.
The Domestic Class
Many white women are doing domestic service work, and in many cities this trend of things is affecting the Negro wage earner. Regardless of this fact Mrs. Anderson's version of it deals only from the angle of the shift from factory or business employment on the part of the white women to their invasion of house work as their means of earning. Mrs. Anderson writes:
"Though the number of women labeled as servants showed an increase of some 600,000 from 1920 to 1930, this has not the significance that may appear at first glance. More than half the additional women, in this group were Negroes, and the number of Negro women classified as servants almost doubled in the decade. This situation was probably due largely to the migration of Negroes from the South to northern and middle-western cities, with greater opportunity for household employment in these new areas previously with insufficient labor to meet demands for domestic workers. Doubless some white women displaced from factories through the substitution of machine for hand work turned to domestic service for a livelihood."
Her final statement is of pertinent interest to colored women when she asserts that the influx of almost 80,000 additional women into hairdressing and manicuring during the decade is striking testimony of quickened interest in the permanent wave, bobbed hair, and beautifying processes.
PLAYLET FEATURES S.W. COMMUNITY HOUSE PROGRAM
While police of the community were busy aiding United States troops in evicting the bonus marchers from their homes, several blocks away, children of the Southwest Community House, Second and D streets, southwest, were presenting an interesting program on the sidewalk in front of their home, last Thursday.
Following the welcome address by Cecilia Washington, the children presented under the direction of Mrs. Alice Dumas a playlet entitled "Sleeping Beauty." This playlet featured the program. A group of dances, "Russian Dance," "Turkey in the Straw" and "Pop Goes the Weasel," were followed by a doll's carnival by eight girls of the House. Recitations were given by Alice Geruti, Marjorie Henderson, and Cecilia Washington. A tap dance and a waltz were performed by Rachel Norton and Doris Canady. Songs were sung by the children.
Mrs. Alma Scott, in charge of the Community House, made remarks. The program was arranged by Mrs. Scott and her corps of assistants including Misses Marjorie Wormley and Elsie Hart and Mrs. Dumas. The program was delayed over an hour because of the confusion between the troops and the bonus marchers several blocks away. The children of the House and instructors gave a picnic at Rock Creek Park, Saturday.

GEORGE BANCROFT AT THE LINCOLN
HIGHLIGHTS FROM "WORLD AND THE FLESH" OPENING AT LINCOLN FRIDAY FOR FOUR-DAY RUN:
A swarthy, hot-blooded revolutionist—and a beautiful woman of the world. Swept together in a tempestuous romance, while Civilization crumbles about them!
He a reckless dominating leader of men, glorying in conflict, scorning danger.
She a girl of warm, ravishing beauty—frail of flesh, yet Courageous, Proud, Appealing.
Both of them constantly menaced by the red typhoon of revolution—yet loving deeply, fiercely, bravely!
"The World and the Flesh" is Romance in a world gone mad. A mighty love story of the carmine days of 1917 when Russia's servants became the masters, drunk with power!
Here is a tense, vigorous background that is perfect for George Bancroft's dynamic personality and Miriam Hopkins' pulse-quickening beauty.
George Bancroft—personifies power. His mighty body, and his forceful, vigorous personality hold a strong fascination for the theatrgegoing pubic. Never has he head a more effective background than the colorful choas of the Russian revolution.
Miriam Hopkins—stepping toardom in one splendid charation after another. "The Smiling Lieutenant." "24 Hours." "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." "Dancers in the Dark." and "The World and the Flesh" is a brilliant young woman.
MR. CHOLS SAYS
1
Let's start the old column talking about how they sing that old hymn "Sweet Hour of Pray," at good old Asbury Church. Cannot explain the feeling, but if you have ever taken one hundred and twenty volts of electricity, then you have some idea of how it makes you feel.
Do you go to some church on Sunday? No? Well why not? Why wait? You are always welcome to Asbury. Just peep in the door some Sunday morning and leave the rest to Rev. Williams. Be seeing you.
Dear Mr. Chols: You seem to be so wise; maybe you can tell me what the two greatest surprises are in life.
With pleasure, son. Twins.
Sorry, stupid, but I cannot tell you why catfish don't have kittens, or why butterflies don't make butter; but I can tell you why white cows give more milk than black
cows—because there are more white cows.
Dear Mr. Chols: Please tell me what happened between Myrtle and her husband?

The lion’s share of the glory goes
to Eddie Tolan, double winner in
the two Olympic sprint events, the
100 and 200 meters.
Tolan’s record-breaking perform-
ances place him among the sprint
immortals of all time. Only: two
other athletes have had the dis-
tinction of winning both of these
events in the Olympic games. Thé
first to do so was Ralph Craig,

duplicated this feat in the 1928
Olympic games. Tolan brings the
distinction to America for a. sec-
ond time, the second Michigan ath-
lete to turn the trick.
Ralph Metealfe, great runner
that he .was, had too much Tolan
to contend with in the 1932 Olym-
pic games, Metcalfe had cracked
the sprint records wide open ear-
lier in the season, but in the Olym-
pies he had to make himself con-
tent with placing second in the 100
meters and third’ in the 200 meterg
His slow start in the 200 meters
a race in which he was considered
unbeatable by the experts, placed
him under too great a handicap
for him to overhaul either Tolan,
the winner, or Simpson, who, fin:
ished second. Metealfe'is a new
stay in the sprinting firmament.

‘during the exhibition under the arc

and after watching “rapa” #0

“Call the fire department!” It
seemed to him that the Pilots
would never be able to make the
third “put out” in the final of the
Crawtords’ two big rally innings.
The Pilots could have a ball
team. The outfield passes; third
and short seem up to scratch; and
the pitching is not half bad. How-
ever, play around first base, field-
ing by piteehrs and the covering
of bunts around home plate can
not be considered even fair. In
fact, the entire infield seems to
to know little of “heads-up” base-
ball. Faster games, with less ar-
gument, will save the expense of
burning the expensive lighting sys-
‘tem longer than necessany. If the
team is properly schooled along
this line and frequent practice
drills improve their infield play,
the Pilots will make a better show-
ing for Washington fans. It is my
épinion, however, that the Pilots
need a new catcher, first baseman,
second baseman, and more rigid
management and training, if they

CITIZENS POINT OUT DANGER AT INTER-SECTION
Ask That Traffic Light Be Placed At Florida Ave. And Sixth Street
Pointing out the traffic hazard at the triple intersection of Florida avenue and T and Sixth streets, northwest, several civic groups have appealed to the Department of Vehicles and Traffic asking for a traffic light at this dangerous intersection.
The movement was started by Dr. Robert H. Carroll, 510 T street, northwest, who has taken the initiative in calling the situation to the attention of W. A. Van Duzer, head of the department.
Two Fatalities
Two fatal accidents have occurred at this intersection in the last two years, and several serious ones. Dr. Carroll pointed out to the Tribune this week that Florida avenue is one of the most heavily traversed arteries in the city, especially in the morning and afternoon when workers are going and returning from the various government buildings.
Congressman Oscar DePriest's attention was recently called to the heavy traffic in this intersection and he received a communication from the Department of Vehicles and Traffic admitting that a light was needed to control traffic at the intersection.
Senator Arthur Capper and Honorable Mary T. Norton chairman of District Committee, also wrote to Dr. Carroll and admitted that a light was needed.
Children Cross Intersection
In a statement to the Tribune, Monday, Mr. Van Duzer said his department was giving attention to the matter, but other intersections in the city were more dangerous and had to receive first attention. He said his office had a record of accidents at this point and would make an effort to have funds appropriated for a light in the 1983 appropriations.
Citizens point out that hundreds of small children are forced to pass this intersection to and from Cleveland and Mott Schools. Other hundreds who attend Dumbar, Armstrong and Cardozo high schools must run the hazard of passing this corner while going and coming from school.

KATONAH, N.Y. - When the Cooperative Institute of the Eastern States Cooperative League was opened here Monday morning, July 25, by Oscar Cooley, executive secretary of the League, members of the institute were "let in" for a week of serious and sound discussions on our present social order.
While the why's and how's of the philosophy and growth of the cooperative idea were not neglected, the greater portion of the time was given over to the more practical and technical phases of cooperative business. Among the subjects discussed were: "Organization of Administration of Cooperatives—The Percentage Basis: Budgeting a Business in Advance," by Mary E. Arnold, director of consumers' Cooperative Service, Inc., a New York City organization that owns eight restaurants and an apartment house; "Ballyhoo of Capitalism—the Advertising Racket," by Prof. E. Stein, New York University; "The Wholesale Function in Co-op Distribution," by Ledie Woodcock manager of the Eastern States Cooperative Wholesale; "Management of a Farmers: Purchasing Cooperative," Quentin Reynolds; "Accounts Receivable," by Werner Regil, the leagues accountant; "Cooperative Housing—Construction and Operation—the Percentage Basis," by A. E. Kagan, director of the Amalgamated Apartments, Inc., a New York society of some 800 householders; "How Insurance Fits Into the Cooperative Movement," by Wm. A. Hyde, manager of Clua Service and "The Cooperative Store," by Waldemar Nimela, manager of the Brooklyn Cooperative Trading Association, a corporation with eight stores, and a large baking plant.

YOUNG HERNDON FRAMED FOR DEATH
YOUNG HERNDON FRAMED FOR DEATH
19-Year-Old Negro Youth Charged With "Inciting To Insurrection" In Georgia
Because he was a leader in the struggles of the unemployed workers of Atlanta, Ga., Angelo Herndon, 19-year-old Negro, was arrested last week and indicted for "inciting to insurrection" under a law of 1866, which carries the death penalty on conviction. The specific charges against Herndon are that he had in his possession copies of the "Daily Worker" when he was waylaid by city detectives as he left the Atlanta post-office. The papers were part of the United States mail which he had just received.
The real reason for Herndon's arrest is his growing influence among the Negro unemployed in Atlanta, whom he had led in impressive demonstrations demanding relief for starving workers, the growing militancy of Negro and white workers and the unity developing out of their increasing resistance to the burdens of the crisis.
The International Labor Defense has undertaken Herndon's defense, and will fight for his release as it is fighting for the freedom of the six other Atlanta workers who face capital trials under the same law. The evidence against the six, Herbert Newton, Henry Storey (Negroes), Ann Burilak, Mary Dalton, Joe Carr, and M. H. Powers, is that they distributed a leaflet with a picture of a Negro and white shaking hands.
"Meetings and demonstrations to protest against this attempt to break down the growing unity of the Negro and white workers in the South in their struggle for social, political, and economic equality and for the right of self-determination in the Black Belt are being arranged all over the country, an essential factor for successful struggle against mass starvation is the unity of Negro and white masses," a statement issued by Carl Hackner, national secretary of the I.L.D., said.
The I.L.D. has sent telegrams of protest to Attorney-General John A. Boykin and Governor Richard B. Russell, of Georgia, the vanguard of many more which are expected to pour in from workers all over the country.
Bond of $3,000 has been set for Herndon, and the International Labor Defense is making efforts to raise this sum to set him at liberty pending his trial.

DENIES RED CAPS DO PORTERS' WORK
E. R. Tolson, manager of the Washington Terminal Company denied this week that Red Cap porters at the Union Station had to do cleaning service. The denial came from the manager following a letter of protest from the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Red Caps charged that W. H. Marks, station master, had requested them to do the cleaning at the station and threatened to discharge all who refused to do the porters' work.
It was also charged by Red Caps that Marks had increased the number of Red Caps and would discharge the porters who were paid a monthly salary. The Red Caps were expected to do the work of the porters for nothing. It was also alleged that a Red Cap was dismissed recently for failure to lower a flag in front of the station. This work was supposed to have been done by porters.
In his letter to the N.A.A.C.P. Mr. Tolson said, "Red Caps porters do not perform cleaning service, nor has their numbers been increased."
Red Caps claimed that if they had to take over the work of the porters the latter group would be thrown out of jobs. At a meeting last month, Station Master Marks outlined to the Red Caps that he planned to fire the cleaners and asked the Red Caps to do the work for nothing. All of the men refused.
"Stay In School," Bordentown Head Warns Students
BORDENTOWN, N.J.—Students now in school need training as never before, is the opinion of W. R. Valentine, principal of the Bordentown Manual Training School. In a letter addressed by the state school head this week to students who are on summer vacation, both boys and girls are warned not to become demoralized by the scarcity of jobs on the outside.
"I sincerely believe that the training which Bordentown is giving you is designed to adapt its students to the demands of everyday living." Mr. Valentine wrote. "I say this as the principal who has watched our graduates for over fifteen years and who has seen how they have used their training. If you cannot find work, that is an added reason for your being in school, preparing yourself for the future. Competition for jobs during the next five or ten years is going to be more strenuous than ever, and the ill-prepared will be hard pressed to keep work."
The Bordentown head pointed out that last year's graduating class is proving the practical value of Bordentown training. Out of a class of thirty-one, twenty-nine were employed last May, when they had been out of school less than a year. "When we compare this record with that of public high school graduates," Mr. Valentine continued, "we begin to realize that Bordentown has taught its boys, and girls how to make a living. Think, for instance, how colored high school graduates in your own home town have been able to find work in their first year out!"
The Bordentown School opens its forty-sixth school year on September 9 this year, with the expectation of a capacity enrollment, from the manner in which applications are coming in. The remodelled girl's dormitory will be ready for the school year, and work on the boys' new dormitory will be completed during the fall months.
The most unhappy people we have met are those who are madly seeking new and more extraordinary avenues to pleasures.
Joseph Jefferson Dead
The sudden demise of Joseph Jefferson, who departed this life on Wednesday evening after a very brief illness was a shock to his many friends. He lived in the District many years, and was educated in the public schools. He was employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company dining car department, and enjoyed a splendid reputation for industry and integrity. His mother survives him. Funeral was held Sunday at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, with the pastor, Rev. Walter H. Brooks officiating.

BROOKSHEADSNEW FAIRMOUNT HTS. CITIZENS LEAGUE
Responding to the call issued by Doswell E. Brooks supervisor of the colored schools of Prince George's County, Md., more than 100 citizens met in the Fairmount Heights school house last night for the purpose of discussing the condition of the community with the view of forming definite program and plans for the constructive development of the community on all lines—civic, economic and social.
The meeting was called to order by R. H. Palmer, the president of the old citizens association. Invocation was offered by Elder G. W. Steele. The president made a statement of the working of the association during the past few months. He then called upon the officers and chairman of the several committees to make a report of their work. James F. Armstrong, chairman of the road committee, reported that in co-operation with citizens of Seat Pleasant, Beaver Dam Heights, and Fairmount Heights, petitions are being made ready to submit to the county commissioners of Prince Georges county to open and hard surface Addison Chapel road from the overhead bridge to Sheriff road and through Kenilworth, this connecting the upper and lower section of the county, saving several miles of travel to Upper Marlboro, the county seat.

Old Inhabitant Dies
Miss Elizabeth Nelson Thomas, aunt of Charles M. Thomas of the Armstrong High School, Miss Erminie F. Shimm, retired teacher of the Garfield and Stevens schools, and Robert J. Nelson, of Philadelphia, died this morning at the family home, 746 Thirteenth street, southeast, where she had lived for more than sixty years.
Miss Thomas was born in Reading, Pa., and became one of the post-civil war teachers called to Hagerstown, Md., from which she came to Washington to keep house for her sister, Mrs. Sarah Thomas Shimm, first principal of the Birney School in Anacostia. Following the deaths of her sister and brother, Attorney Charles Nelson Thomas, father of Prof. Thomas, she mothered the Misses Grace and Erminie Shimm and Mr. Thomas, living as she said. "To see and know Charles the third," referring to little Charlie, age 7.
Being a pioneer in the southeast section, her neighborhood became fully white and she was known and respected by neighbors who found her legal knowledge and sound practical wisdom of great value in times of stress. Her home-keeping was regarded as a model and even the plans of the home were copied by many later builders. She tolerated no familiarties among the whites and always conducted herself and affairs on terms of strict equality, for which she was respected, as was shown by the many whites who visited her during her last illness, since March last.

chinations of Markell has made this impossible because on February 28, 1930, he began friendly relations with uLcille Poindexter but that she at the same time was engaging in clandestine illicit relations with Markell and did continue same up until March, 1930. As a result of this he claims she became the mother of a childr about December 13, 1930, which he (Edwards) claims is the offspring of Markell.
He also states that when Markell became aware of her condition, in order to evade responsibility for his illicit actions and to escape the disgrace and ostracism that would follow, he fraudulently forced her to represent to Edwards that he was the sole recipient of her affections and that he was responsible for her condition.
On account of these false representations Edwards claims that he married her and lost his health, peace of mind and personal fortune in excess of $304 for expenditures, incurred during her confinement, which rightly should have been Markell's. Edwards asks the court to award him damages of $20,000 and court costs.
Edwards a month ago filed papers asking for annulment of his marriage charging fraud. He based his claims at that time on the fact that his wife and he are both dark-skinned and could not be the pa-

National convention which will be held at Portland, Ore., was asked out of an executive committee meeting when he sought to find the cause of the Walker Unit suspension.
In a resolution presented by the James E. Walker Post which we introduced before the convention it was pointed out that the suspension of the Walker Unit was illegit and asked the convention to "tas such action as it deems proper secure redress and adjudication this arbitrary action."
The resolution was passed at the relations with the entire men's auxiliary, including color and white, were suspended.
The action taken by the white president was thought due to the fact that she wished to put through the election of her candidate for the post Department president and the six votes by the Walker Uncarried the balance of power and would defeat the Mims' candidate and being the only Negro Unit the convention it was the easier to be shunted aside and pave the way for steam roller tactics started by the Department president. A result of the action taken by the convention all relations have been severed with all of the Units pending action of the Department convention at a later convention. The earliest date of a succeeding convention will be next July but final action may be deferred until a other convention a year later.

PRUDENTIAL BANK IN BIG EXTENSION PROGRAM
Ministers, Insurance Men, Undertakers & Other Business Men Cooperate
The Prudential Bank is carrying forward a progressive co-operative program. The run on the bank two weeks ago left a telling lesson of the big opportunity for co-operative effort on the part of the people of Washington.
In its effort to prove worthy of the trust manifested in it by the depositors and friends of the bank, the Prudential decided to foster a co-operative extension program and carry its message and the opportunity to serve the people, to the people.
Dr. John R. Hawkins, president of the bank, has held conferences with the Baptist Ministers at their weekly conference at Florida Avenue Baptist Church. He spoke to the ministers and also thanked them for their wonderful co-operation up to that time.
The insurance managers promised their support and called their agents to a meeting with President Hawkins last Saturday afternoon at the Y.M.C.A., on Twelfth street, northwest. The program was outlined to them and prizes were offered in one, two, three order for the largest individual account brought into the bank and for the largest amount of money brought into the bank by October 1st.
President Hawkins held a conference with the undertakers Tuesday morning, in the board room of the bank. They told President
Hawkans of many ways in which they can and will help increase the deposits of the Prudential bank. E. W. Bundy presided. They passed a resolution endorsing the Prudential plan and program and will actively co-operate in it. "A Bigger and Better Bank" is the slogan that President Hawkins and Edward Baker, the cashier, are backing with the view of telling their story to the people of Washington. Negro Washington has responded beyond expectations and it seems determined to keep the Prudential going on and upward and prove to scandal mongers that all bad rumors are not fatal, and that often bad news can be an incentive for good.
Results are showing up from these conferences and the agents of the Southern Aid Insurance Society are leading the way in securing new accounts. The Prudential has 6,000 depositors and President Hawkins hopes to double this number during this drive.
Dr. George Washington Carver, noted Negro scientist of Tuskegee Institute, was recently invited by the Y.W.C.A. to lecture at the Mississippi State College for Women. Just a few hours before the time that Dr. Carver was scheduled to speak, the college administration announced that no student would be allowed to attend such a meeting, and that Dr. Carver would be forbidden to set foot on the campus.
S. Ralph Harlowe, professor in Smith University, tells in The Crisis this month how the Mississippi student body stepped in and took a hand, revealing a sense of fairness and justice backed by dauntless courage. This is another story that reveals the rapidly growing sentiment of justice and fair-play among college men and women in the South, of which many of us have on frequent occasions been made aware.

handed him a dollar along with his officer's badge. Jackson said, "You are under arrest." The man then attempted to run and was grabbed by Jackson. Clarke succeeded in knocking the jar of liquor out of Jacksons' hand and broke Jackson's hold on him. As soon as he was free he whirled and fired two shots at Jacques, neither of whiche took effect. He then fired again, two shots hitting Jackson, who turned and stumbled to his car with his back to his assailant. The boot-legger shot him again in the back.
Fletcher, it is reported, was sitting in the car all the time with his gun in his hands and later returned it to the bag. Fletcher gave his excuse that he thought it best to get Jackson to the hospital rather than pursue the man. Police later entere dthe apartment Clarke is reported as having gone into and arrested several people present, including Clarke's wife. Clarke has not been caught.

The dead agent's body reached here Wednesday and was accompanied by his bride of one month. Beside his wife, Mrs. Lilly May Jackson, he is survived by his mother, Mrs. Emma S. Jackson, 74 L street, northwest; a sister, Mrs. Etta May Craig; and two brothers, Edward G. and Julius H., all of Washington.
Jackson was born in Washington and attended the local schools. He was 35 years of age, and has served in the Federal service for a period of seven years, and at one time was stationed on the border and in Porto Rico.
While in a local hospital here several months ago to have a bone removed from his nose as a result of an accident when he was struck by a baseball bat when a youth, his wife flew here from Chicago to be at his bedside. He soon recovered and was transferred from the Washington and Baltimore area to Chicago.
Praised by Superiors
Officials of the Prohibition Department said Jackson was highly reliable and one of the most successful agents in the department.
In 1930, while attached to the local Bureau he was connected with the death of William Bell in a house at 2125 Ninth street northwest. Jackson was freed by a coroner's jury, who rendered a verdict of accidental death. The agent claimed his gun dropped from his holster and was discharged when it struck the floor. He also figured in the news in January 1928, when he was arrested in Hyattsville, Md., on eleven traffic charges. Prior to his death Jackson and his bride were planning to fly here to spend their vacation with his mother. An inquest was held in Chicago and a coroner's jury held that Clark fired the shots that killed Jackson.

It is planned that this buying-club will furnish the necessary training for a larger venture which the council has already begun to make soon in preparation.
KLAN THREATENS NEGRO VOTERS IN TEXAS PRIMARY
Denison Whites Warns Negroes To Stay Away From Polls On Saturday
DENISON, Texas.—During the heat of battle over Negroes voting in the Democratic primaries in Grayson county the following printed circular was distributed in Dennison and Sherman: : "NEGRO: The white people do not want you to vote Saturday. DO NOT MAKE THE KU KLUX KLAN TAKE A HAND. "Do you remember what happened two years ago, May 9?" In Dennison, a colored man is said to have seen the distributor of the circulars and reported to authorities in Dennison, who made investigations. It is believed the printer lives in Dennison. Vote in Dallas DALLAS, Texas.—Dallas Negroes were allowed to vote in the Democratic primaries Saturday but it is reported that only 40 out of possibly 2,000 came to the poll.
A voters' league hastily organized by R. S. Watson billed the town but the effort was put forth too late to do effective work.
Gives Right to Vote
SHERMAN, Texas.—A few days prior to the election Attorney W. J. Durham, assisted by Mason and Mason, of Dallas, appeared before the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Texas to get a hearing on the right of Grayson county Negroes to vote in the Democratic primaries.
Before the case was opened Ben Gafford, chairman of the county Democratic committee, handed Mr. Durham a statement which was also sent to executive committee of Grayson county, giving orders to allow Negroes to vote.
Robert Williams, of Denison and others led the fight in Grayson county and upon being victorious, Grayson county Negroes were permitted to vote.
Some revered at Houston HOUSTON, Texas.—Negroes of Houston showed whether they want to vote in the Democratic primary Saturday. They begin to present themselves at the polls as soon as the polls opened. If they were refused the right to vote, they took the name of the election judge and the address and number of the voting precinct. Then they left quietly. But, they didn't go home. They went to the nearest telephone and called the Harris County Negro Democratic Club's office or went in person, and reported. If they were permitted, to vote they reported that, if not, they reported that the election judges were excited and nervous instead of the Negroes. Some of the judges and clerks were very nice. The officials at Taylor School were as courteous and civil when they were turning Negroes down as they were when they had the polls open to Negroes.

AIR LINE REFUSES
(Continued from page 1)
"No Seats." Clerk Says
Arriving at the airport over at Hoover Field (think of that name), Miss Gillespie was informed by the company's clerk that there wasn't any seats left. This was the only explanation the clerk, who, according to Miss Gillespie, appeared surprised and excited, could give her.
The teacher was forced to remain in the city until late that night, when she caught a train to Florence.
When questioned over the telephone by the Tribune officials of the Eastern Air Transport Company, claimed that a reservation for Miss Gillespie had never been completed with the Pittsburgh line.
NEGRO VETERAN

One policeman even raised his gun to shoot General Glassford he was so excited. Thousands of citizens expressed sympathy with the veterans and admired their fine spirit and conduct during the police and soldier riot. Because the armed forces of law and order were the ones doing the rioting, the veterans appeared more like spectators.

SOCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
By CAPITOLA
Last week would have been the same social routine but for several things. The usual jaunts of Washingtonians to nearby towns and cities, the usual visitors over the week-end and the usual bridge and birthday parties, all of which go to make up Washington's social calendar were in evidence, it is true, but Mr. and Mrs. Dillard Smith, of Kingman Park, introduced something of an innovation when they gave a birthday dinner party in honor of Mr. Eugene Smith with a few intimate friends present. Then Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Smith surprised their daughter Ruth with a birthday party. It was truly a surprise for she had not the slightest idea about it until she returned-from the movies to find the guests assembled.

Mrs. Hunton Leaves For New York; Interested In World Fellowship
Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, who has been an attractive and interesting visitor at the Capital during the summer left for New York this week.
After the convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at which she was one of the outstanding speakers, Mrs. Hunton was the guest several days of Miss Jean Wormley at her Highland Beach cottage. She then motored to King's Mountain where she was one of the leaders of the Gir' Reserve Conference for the Southeastern field. Since her return she has been the house guest of Mrs. Cranston Lee and of her niece, Mrs. Lillian Dodson, at Highland Beach. Mrs. Hunton has remained in Washington and vicinity for the most part to be with her son, Prof. William A. Hunton, who is an instructor at Howard University.
Seen at the residence of Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Hunton was so quiet and unassuming that one could scarcely realize that she is one of the most traveled women of the race and ranks with the foremost in the realm of public affairs in this country. As early as 1908 Mrs. Hunton was abroad with her two children and was a student for two years at the Kaizer Wilhelm University at Strassburg. Since then she has crossed the ocean a number of times, including almost a year and a half of service in France during the World's War.
Three years ago Mrs. Hunton was one of the speakers at The National Peace Conference at Prague, presided over by Miss Jane Adams and then went to Hungary to deliver a series of talks at the International Peace School near Budapest. She has also been a member of a Commission to Haiti and two years ago was one of twenty-six American women sent to an Inter-American Peace Conference in Mexico City and afterwards traveled over that country. Talking with Mrs. Hunton, one sees without the slightest effort on her part, that she is highly cultured and thoroughly conversant with public affairs.
Asked about her chief interest she laughingly replied, "My little grandson, Llisie Carlton Carlton Junior." Then she said, "I have always been most interested in the beginning of things. I believe I am more of a pioneer than anything else and have had chance to help at the beginning of most of the worthwhile movements started for us. Today I think I am more deeply interested in promoting world fellowship in its best significance. I will probably not come in my day, but it will come. And with it the solution of many of our difficulties."
Carson's Hospital Closes; Dr. Carson Goes To Colton

NEW YORK WOMAN MAY RUN FOR LEGISLATURE
BROOKLYN (CNS)—Mrs. Maria C. Lawton, prominent club woman, civic worker and journalist of this city, may secure the designation for Republican candidate for the Assembly from the Seventeenth district of Kings county, as a reward for 40 years of service to the Republican organization of the county according to present indication. It will be the first time that a colored woman has run for member in the State Assembly.
Mrs. Lawton lives in Brooklyn in a district where Negroes comprise 59 per cent of the voting population. This year, the regular organization is inclined to designate some one selected by colored Republican Voters' Association of the district, in an attempt to regain for the party through solidarity of the Negro vote, the seat in the Assembly which was lost last term to a Democrat for the first time in a number of terms. The Colored Voters' Association has already endorsed Mrs. Lawton. Mr. Giles, colored leader of the organization, feels that there will be no difficulty in getting the Republican organization of the Seventeenth Assembly District to ratify Mrs. Lawton at their meeting this week.
Mrs. Lawton is popular in her district and is well known throughout the borough, State and county. She has been a reporter on the Standard Union, a white Brooklyn daily, for twenty years, and for ten years State president of the Empire State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. In 1924, she was the director of colored women's activities of the Eastern Division, of the Republican National Convention.

NEWARK LEADERS SCORE PROPOSED NEGRO OUSTER
urban League Secretary Flayed At Meeting Of 1,000 Citizens
Over 1,000 representative citizens of Newark, N.J., met in a mass meeting, Tuesday, and protested the threatened ouster of Negroes from the city as proposed by Thomas L. Puryear, Urban League executive secretary; and Commissioner William J. Egan, a member of the Newark City Commission.
The Rev. E. Ethelred Ricks, chairman of the resolutions committee, which fostered the mass meeting, was in Washington Tuesday and visited the Tribune building. The Rev. Ricks pointed out that since the proposed ouster had been published in Newark papers, Negroes had been intimidated by police and several, including a woman, had been beaten by officers. The Rev. Ricks said over 1,000

attended the meeting at Hopewell Baptist Church, and resolutions were adopted protesting against the ouster and the action taken by Puryear. It was pointed out that due to economic conditions, Puryear had proposed that Negroes of the city be sent South. Puryear was a former Y.M.C.A. secretary during the World War, and at one time was a teacher at Virginia State College, Petersburg, Virginia.
The resolutions condemn the threatened ouster which was apparently instigated by Commissioner Egan, who is alleged to have said that it would "be accomplished if necessary through the use of the police force of the city." Egan refused to attend the mass meeting, but Puryear and Owen A. Malady, overseer of the poor of Newark, were present. The two failed to convince the meeting that the ouster was not directly aimed at Negroes, although it was alleged to have been general in scope. L.ters have been written to Southern governors and social agencies in the South asking that colored people only be warned away from Newark.
Segregated Move
Leaders of Newark also stated that they protest against the use of police in any attempt to intimidate Negroes in leaving Newark for the South, and feel that there is no reason why Negroes should be singled out for any special treatment in connection with unemployment and poor relief, when there are thousands of other races in the city who also have no legal settlement, but who have not been specifically mentioned in the conferences on the subject, and in the press.
Puryear was scored at the meeting and speakers said he had no right to speak for Negroes without conferring with some representative group to ascertain their attitude on matters concerning the race.
Spaghetti And Nourishing Flour Pastes
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
The Distinguished Teacher, on Household
Efficiency
Instead of using the staple food, wheat, in a bread form, many countries have for centuries baked their dough in the form of pastes, tubes and noodles. It is believed that these peculiar shapes of using flour originated in China and were later brought into Italy, then into France, and thus throughout the world generally. And spaghetti, macaroni and the many other forms of these flour pastes are deservedly popular because of their wholesomeness and possibility in countless cooking adaptations.
The wheat used in their making is of the variety known as Durham, which is very high in gluten, therefore extremely nourishing. The what is ground into a meal called "semolina," which is then mixed with water in large vats into a mass of dough. This is then pushed or pressed through immense cylinders having at their lower end perforated plates with holes or shapes of different size. As the dough is pressed out it takes the tubular or other form which we call macaroni, spaghetti, noodle, etc., according to its appearance. The housewife who "rices potatoes" in a canolander will get a clear idea of how these flour pastes assume the ribbon or tube form, in which we finally purchase them.
After coming from the press these strings of dough are stretched on huge racks in a drying room where the air is kept moving by electric fans. Everything about a modern spaghetti factory is scrupulously clean and would satisfy every hygienic demand of the particular housewife. Even the packaging is done by machinery and as much care taken as could be in one's own kitchen. It remains for the one planning home meals to use more varieties of these nourishing pastes and include them often in the summer menu, where they ma ywell take the place of meat.
If the housewife will remember that these foods are not all starhay and comparable to potatoes and rice, but instead practically protein or meat-equivalent foods, she will see how they provide much nourishment at the lowest cost. When
combined with a little cheese and a highly seasoned sauce any paste dish may be made the main dish of the meal. There are many ways of using the pastes, but in general a simple boiling process must be followed first.
MORNING STAR LODGE OF ELKS

And here is where many housekeepers can take a tip from the "spaghetti kitchens" as to its cooking: The tubes must always be dropped into rapidly boiling salted water, and kept boiling—but for a very short time. The chief mistake in commonly preparing these tubes is to overcook and make them soft and mushy. The proper method thoroughly cooks the flour but leaves the tube or noodle stiff and firm. For those who do not like any sticky effect, the cooked pastes should be held under the cold faucet and washed off, however, this practice removes a great deal of nourishing material, and if properly boiled they may be lifted up and drained and the remaining water used in soun.
Since these products are bland and tasteless in themselves they require the addition of a highly seasoned sauce with them. The four main spaghetti sauces are the Caruso, made of chopped chicken livers and having a rich gravy; the Marinara sauce, made of tomatoes and peppers, quite hot and flavorful with thyme, garlic, etc.; a brown mushroom sauce, and, last, simple butter melted on the hot tubes. For children the last is preferable, and well may the young child have a dish of boiled flour pastes for its supper or lunch, especially if of the interesting "shell" or "bow" type, which all little children are fond of.
A dish of spaghetti or macaroni with a rich meat or tomato sauce is most acceptable in any weather and decidedly nourishing. The whole secret is in the sauce, which cannot be made at the last moment, but which requires careful simmering and stirring for a long time.
Macaroni with Marinara Sauce
Three-quarters pound macaroni or spaghetti, 1 large can stewed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons mined onion, 2 cloves garlic, cut fife, ½ teaspoon Italian regano (dry parsley) or ½ teaspoon mixed herbs, 2 or 3 spagolini (Italian red pepper) or any red pepper, 4 tablespoons melted butter or oil, Parmesan cheese. Combine tomatoes, onions, garlic, pepper and seasonings and simmer slowly from 40 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally until sauce is reduced about ½ in bulk, thick and well seasoned. Cook macaroni in rapidly boiling salted water 10 minutes, drain and arrange on hot platter. Add butter to sauce, blend, pour over platter of spaghetti. Serve grated cheese in separate small bowl.
Noodle and Apple Pudding
One package broad noodles, 4 tablespoons butter, 6 sweet apples, ½ cup sugar, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.
Pare and dice apples, cook noodles in rapidly boiled salted water; drain, mix with 2 tablespoons butter.
Arrange layer of noodles in buttered baking dish, cover with apples seasoned with sugar and cinnamon, repeat noodles and apples until dish is full.
Dot remaining butter on top, bake in moderate oven 40 minutes or until pudding is richly brown.
Serve hot with lemon sauce.
Two Negro Editors' Lives Endangered In Southern Democratic Primary Fight
NEW ORLEANS, La. (CNS)—The lives of two Negro editors have been endangered as a result of their activity in organizing Negro voters in Southern States and urging them to vote in Democratic primaries of their respective States.
In Louisiana, Albert White, editor of the Sreveport Afro-American, was driven from Shreveport and forced to hide as a mob of officers, armed with machine guns, sought him for his activity in organizing a league of Negro voters.
Learning of the threats of the mob, Mr. White's friends succeeded in spiriting him away. White has edited the paper for the past eight years. He is now seeking refuge in a distant city. Unable to locate White, the mob of officers armed to the teeth, and scores of hoodium citizens brittling with weapons of all kinds, marched on the Lakeside auditorium where a mass meeting of the Negre voters' league had been scheduled to be held, but which had been called by leaders of the Negro movement. They stood sentinel for hours to prevent the Negroes from assembling.
While no blood was shed, Negro citizens spent an anxious night as leading white citizens were reported to have declared that the streets of their city would be drenched in blood before Negroes would be allowed their right to vote.
In Houston, Texas, four days before the Texas Democratic primaries, C. N. Love, militant editor of the Houston Informer and Texas Freeman, and leader in the movement for Texas Negroes to vote in the Democratic primaries, narrowly escaped the vengeance of his political foes.
Mr. Love, who is a light sleeper, awoke with an odor of burning wood in his nostrils. On going to the room of his wife he found smoke rising through the floor of her bed chamber and the bed ablaze. Upon investigation it was found that slabs of wood saturated in oil had been piled around and under the house and lighted.
Police authorities are investigating the case but report that they have been unable to make any progress in the case.
The power helplessness has over the human heart is astonishing when contemplatively visualized. It is stronger than any physical strength, standing, as it does above brute force as governor of decisions and supervisor of activities.
MORNING STAR LODGE OF ELKS CUTS SALARIES
Band Will Not Go To Atlantic; Contest For Watch Extended
Morning Star Lodge of Elks passed a resolution at its meeting Tuesday night cutting all of the paid officers' salary ten per cent. This resolution was introduced at the last meeting in July by William Millard. The exalted ruler, John T. Rhines, appointed a committee to study the possibility and report at the next meeting. This committee reported favorably for reduction of salaries, Tuesday night, and the resolution was passed. The last initiation in the big membership drive will be held Saturday night, August 20. This will close this drive. Many new members have been added to Morning Star since the drive started. The watch contest which was to close on August 16 will continue another 30 days.
The lodge decided Tuesday night not to take the band to Atlantic City to the grand lodge. Since the lodge is retrenching on expenses and not sending delegates, it decided not to send the band also.
"God's Fellow Workers" will be the subject of the sermon by the pastor, Rev. W. L. Washington at the Zion Baptist Church, Sunday morning. Regular services will be held at the church at night. The Christian Endeavor Society will conduct services at the Industrial Home for Boys at Blue Plains at four o'clock.
John Wesley A.M.E. Zion
The minister, Rev. W. C. Carrington will preach at 10:45 a.m. on "The Awakened Church," and will deliver the message to the Junior Church on "Better Watch Yourself!" At the evening service at 7:45, he will speak on "Winning the Blessing." This service lasts one hour.

ROSENWALD FUND
WITHDRAWN FROM
NORTH CAROLINA
RALEIGH, N.C. — The Julius Rosenwald Fund, which in years past has given well over a million dollars to aid Negro education in North Carolina, has been practically withdrawn from the state; it was announced here Saturday by Dr. A. T. Allen, state superintendent of public instruction.
The Rosenwald fund had pledged the state $30,000 to be used in defraying the cost of a practice school and girls' dormitory at the Negro normal school at Fayetteville but requested that the state try and secure this from some other source at this time, Dr. Allen said, and the general education board in New York has taken over the pledge.
In 1929, the last year for which complete figures were available today, the Rosenwald fund gave $254,444.86 for Negro education in this state, up to June 30, 1930, the foundation had given $670,501 for buildings, not counting other aid. This year the state will get "practically nothing." D. Allen said. The superintendent said he was informed from the Chicago headquarters of the foundation that the income of the fund was so depleted that it had to curtail payments.
An offer was made to meet the $30,000 pledge at Fayetteville by spending capital of the fund, he said, but the general education board agreed to let the state have the money with the agreement it is to be repaid if the Rosenwald fund later is able to meet the pledge.
The Rosenwald fund has aided Negro education throughout the south for about ten years. Dr. Allen said he had not been informed definitely but assumed that curtailment was being made in every state. When the fund was set up it was intended to last only about twenty years. Dr. Allen said, but has functioned only about half that long.

She was married in 1875 and came to this city forty years ago. Mrs. Leonard is servied by seven sons, Leon J. William, Jesse, Richard, Bertie, Harry and Perry, all of Washington; one brother and sister, of Du Quoin, Ill. Mrs. Florence Pleasant and Joseph Dement.
Ice Pick, Iron Pipe Used In Francis Street Fight

A Tribute To The Citizens Of Anacostia
And Nero fiddled while Rome burned. History repeating itself
On the banks of the Potomac stands that little town Anacostia,
and within its embrace stood of "Little Shanty Town", a crude "Rome".
Anacostia, the home of the illustrious Fredrick Douglass, again won for itself a strategic place on the map of these United States. To many the name was foreign, but that name has now circled the globe and carried with it the name of a "Twentieth Century, Nero."
I made several visits, to the "Little Shanty Town" on the-Potomac and was a close observer of the doings of its inhabitants.
I noticed how orderly they were. I observed that, under the circumstances, they were neat and their surroundings tidy. Their jovial spirit was commendable.
Their shanties were queer—built of every conceivable piece of material, from a tomato crate to an old discarded automobile. There were some who lived in billets built of straw, coffins, and scrap timber. Thousands milled their way to Anacostia to witness the scene. An army of men with their wives and babes.
I observed that the citizens of Anacostia had kindled a love for them. When their shacks crumbled to earth the citizens wept. One colored resident gave refuge to many of these wanderers when the hands of a mighty army fell upon them.
I think Anacostia deserves credit for the sympathy, tolerance, encouragement, and support given these men who, 15 years ago, had crossed the waters of the mighty deep to make America "Safe for Democracy." The people did not forget that these veterans had done their bit in a great struggle, and that gratitude, at least, was due them. They were always willing to help them in every possible way.
But now that "Old Shanty Town" has become a "Deserted Village." They left hurriedly, without time to gather their belongings. Food and clothing had to be left behind. A large quantity of canned goods was deserted, automobiles were burned, and even the American flag was damages by the consuming flames.
What humanity! What patriotism! What discretion! What despotism!
And speaking of discretion—with the approach of winter, there was no other alternative for the Bonus Expittionary. Force but to leave their billets.
Congress left its burden in Anacostia. An humble suburb, however, did not falter, but a great nation seems to have erred.

Trinity Baptist
The Trinity Baptist Church is rejoicing in the fact that new life seems to be effused in the acquisition of their new church home at 1607-9 Elkventh street, northwest, where they have been located since the third Sunday in July. The Sunday school, together with the church is gradually building.
A misprint as to sectional location has caused a bit of confusion from the columns of one of the daily papers. Trinity is still in the northwest. The pastor, Rev. J. W. Bundrant, is working untiringly to again bring Trinity into her own.

PRESIDENT HUUVER, LEM EUNMAIND RANE
May we respectfully ask President Hoover if the prac-
tice of real democracy in the various Veterans camps had
anything to do with his decision to run them out of Wash.
ington? 4 H
‘One fact. that, stood out in all the camps and the relations
existing within the camps, arid wherever the veterans assem-
bled, was that Negroes were much in evidence and received
equal treatment and accommodations. f, i
< Since President Hoover has set up a ‘‘Lily-White Repub-
lican Party” in the South, and since his name is often linked
with Ku Klux Klan interest; since he fired Tolbert of South
Carolina, Ben’ Davis of Georgia, and cut off Perry Howard
‘of Missississippi, we cannot help but surmise, Mr. President,
that the practice of real American democracy, for which the
Bonus Boys fought in France, find here in the nation’s capi-
tal, within your domain, the lack’ of courage obtaining in
your administration. You permit segregation, ostracism—
a color line, if you please—to exist in every department un-
der your jurisdiction. . The contrast was too glaring, the
injustice of your administration too apparent, hence you
called the army and ran these Americans, who are practicing
real democracy, out of:téwn. » -
The Bonus Marchers came to you, President Hoover,
asking for their money, for bread, for jobs, anything to sus-
tain life. You gave them sabers, tear gas bombs and the
torch.
What became of Herbert Hoover, the humanitarian dur-
ing the world war, who taught us to Hooyerize in meatless
days, wheatless days, sugarless days in order that we may.
feed the bedraggled refugees in Belgium, Poland, Russia and
other European countries; on entering the White House as
President of these United States have you so completely for-
gotten the poor, hungry bedraggled- heroes of the American
Army?’ What became of the once lauded humanitarian who
fed the hungry of the world? We are forced to ask: Is it the
same Herbert Hoover who permitted fifteen to twenty thou-
sand hungry, homeless, bedraggled American men, women
and children remain for more than two months within five
miles of his home, imploring him for food, for shelter, for
compensation due them by his government, for places to call
homes, and he, this once great humanitarian answered their
pleas, their outstretched hands for help, their hopeful look
in weary eyes, with poisoned gas bombs, with the Cavalry,
with sabers drawn to run them down and with the torch to
destroy every vestige of their meagre belongings, Again
we ask was that the same Herbert Hoover?
What became of his oft reneated “equal opportunity”?
The action of President Hoover in using force, poison
gas and the torch in driving out defenseless men, helpless
‘women and’innocent children is one of the most reprehensi-
ble, most inexcusable, most cowardly, and the most indefensi-
ble action committed by a. President of this supposedly
Christianized country—acts worthy of # Nero.
How can President Hoover ask foreign countries to dis-
arm and not show force against another country when he
will throw force, poison gas and the torch against even inno-
cent women and children, not to mention the defenseless war
veterans—heroes of yesteryear.
How can this country ever speak of charity, human kind-
ness, Christianity or any of the finer traits in humanity,
when the President of this country will throw every oppor-
tunity to render a real service to the winds and walk rough-
shod over poor, humble American citizens who offered their
lives to make his job safe for him today?
Is it a crime to come to Washington to petition your
government?
There are hordes of well-fed, money-spending hipocrits
coming to Washington regularly to lobby for their corpora-
tions. They have the power of big business behind them and
too often they seek to hinder the legal operation of a law,
‘or they desire to steal millions from the government. Presi-
dent Hoover has not ordered out the army to defent the
government from the leaches, the stealers of public domain,
these hinderers of the orderly performance of sworn officers
and officials of the government. Surely he bothers not these
bribe givers, they represent the powers that be, the big
/money, from which President Hoover must get the millions
of dollars to carry on his campaign for re-election.
But these Bonus Marchers apparently have such little
political power that Congress turned them aside as scrum
of the earth, unworthy of their notice. Of course they could
not possible attract the attention of the Great Humanitarian
Pesrident of this Chrisian country of ours. However, Her-
bert Hoover, President of the United States, sitting comfort-
ably in the White House, did listen to the capitalistic plea
“to run "em out” and “Run them out” he did, men, shocked
by the sudden drastic action of their President, ran; women
hoping their men folks would be shown a little consideration |
by coming to Washington, ran screaming into the night, and
children, innocent of any and all that took place secampered
full of fright, hungry and sleepy into the unknown blackness |
of that memoriable Thursday night.
What will the end be?
We feel that at last the spark has been touched that will |
join together all of the common people regardless of race,
creed or color, and that a vast phalanx of the “non-powerful”
will relegate the great engineer from his hich place of power.

DIGESTING THE NEWS
AY OAS Sew eine IN oe, Saree See mere er
Recently it was my privilege, and
a very rare one for me, to peep be-
hind’ the scenes in the preparation
of a gigantic undertaking, (which
will have become an event by the
time this release is printed) for
the benefit of the colored churches
and citizens of the city of Jackson,
Michigan,
During the nearly ‘two and a
half years that I have conducted
this column, whieh is now’ simul-
taneously used in over fifty color-
ed papers in all parts f the coun-
try each week, I have cooperated
with and have secured the coopera-
tion of the leading colored citizens
and enterprises, through corre-
spondence, from’ practically every
state in the union,
My recent humble efforts on be-
half of the Michigan Emancipation
Day program however, provided
the first opportunity, to. cooperate
with leading citizens, of both races,
where personal contact was reqitir-
ed. And during the necessary con-
ferences I glimpsed the most beau-
tifal spirit of cooperation that. it
has ever been my privilege to ob-
serve.
* For many years I had known of
the splendid ‘cooperation that: the
citizens of Jockson had extended to
the nearly six thousand prisoners
confined in the Michigan State
Prison, located at that point, and
now I know of the good feeling
that exists between the races in
Jackson.
Under the general \chairmap-
ship of W. W. Wright, leading real
estate broker, insurance executive
and banker, the leading citizens, of
the \citw:-forunad themerhoas anton a
have never been outside of the city,
and whose sole conception of dra-
ma is a motion picture.
And no move is being made on
the part of the leaders of our race
to interest these young people in
the things they should know and
love and want to do.
How many of them have heard
Schumann-Heink—or McCormack?
Or seen “The Student Prince?”
“Blossom Time?” “The Barretts
of Wimpole Streets?” “Death
Takes a Holiday?” Or know what
the names of Jane Cowl, Nazimova,
‘Philip Merivale or Katherine Cor-
nell mean in the theatrical world?
All internationally known artists
whose ability has been acclaimed
the world over. Negro youth must
drink the cup of real drama and
music before he is fully educated,
We condemn the motion pictures
that lead our children astray, They
know no higher form of entertain-
ment, Can you expect a person
who knows nothing. about Grand
Opera to prefer “Thais” to a good
movie, or even the eternal voice of
Schummann-Heink to listening to
a Vitaphone act?
It is time the leaders of the race
recognized this need, and attempt
‘to cater to it. Give the Negro
youth something to reach for, and
there is no doubt about, he’ will
reach. His-soul will expand under
beauty and drama and musi and
he will grow.

risk their lives. in a war for this
form of Democracy—a form of

| Tn view of the rather interesting
fact that Random House is plan-
ing to publish a new edition of
Chaucer's: Troilus and Cressida
this fall, it is not at all amiss for
‘me, aS a poet. and commentator
upon’ literature. in. general and
‘poetry in particular to inquire once
‘again into the sources of this work.
According to Pollard Chaucer's
Troilus’ and Gressida is based pri-
marily’ on Boceaccio’s I. Filostra-
to and one third of it is. either
translated or adapted, Only the
characters of the hero and heroine
are modified. . French states that
“of the 713. stanzas of the Italian
‘poem there are Jess than 200 which
find no verbal echo in the Troilus.”
Some of the incidents in Cassan-
‘ira’s exposition of Troilus’ dream
are said by Pollard to reflect the
linfluence of Ovid: and’ Statius.
In June 1873 William Michael
Resetti_wrote, on Chaucer's. Troy-
lus and Crysede compared: with
Boecaccio’s Filostrato. This was
published by the Chaucer society.
Rossetti says: x
“The most important point of
absolute difference between the
Italian and the English poets—the
most important) both in subject
matter and in scale of treatment—
is in the incidents which lead up
to the actual amour between ‘Troi-
lus and Chryseis. Chaucer has in-
yented an entirely new series of
preliminaries.”
Further on in this essay there
is fuller discussion of the sources
of Troilus and Cressida,
John Lydgate in his “Fall of
Princes” has the following to say
in regard to the originality of the
Troilus:
“My mayster Chayceer with his
fressh comodynes,
Is ded, Allas, cheef Pocte of
breteyne. |
Off whoos labour to make men-

In lombard tounge as men may

And in‘our Vulgar longe or that

Gaff it the name of Trolus and
‘Creseyde.”
Lytigate, then, would have us be-
lieve that ‘Troilus and Cressida is
a translation from. a book called
Trophe written in’ the Lombard
tongue.
Henry Peacham (1622) says in
his The Compleat Gentleman Fash-
ioning him absolute, etc. in the
chapter entitled “Of Poetry”:
“Of English Poets of our owne
Nation, esteeme Sir Goeffrey Chau-
cer the father. . . Albeit divers of
his workes, are but meerely trans-
lations out of Latine and French,
‘yet he hath handled them so arti-
ficially, that thereby he hath made
them his owne, as his Troilus and
Cresseid.”
Peacham, also, then would have

that combines penology, sociology,
biography, human nature and hu-
man interest sketches of both pris-
oners and free people, into a most
entertaining and’ convineing
volume.
We lear, by reading the book,
that-Warden Lawes commenced his
Aransiation.
It/is quite probable that Chau-
cor wes translating Beethius’ ‘De
Consolatione Philosphae at about
the same time he composed the
Troilus ‘Thus we. find that Trollus
moralizing in the temple is a ren-
dering of Boethius’ chapter on
Free Will and Predestination.
Some manuscripts omit the above,
however. It is found in Book TV,
pages 953-1085 in Pollard. Other
examples of similarities. between
the work by Bosthius and the Troi
lus are found’ in Book III, 813-833,
and 1744-1768. :
There is evidence that Troilus’
love song is taken from Petaarch’s
eighty-eighth sonnet. This» ap-
pears in Book I, pp. 400-420,
The story of Troilus .and his
faithless mistress was first told by
Benoit of. Sainte-Maure, a French
poet of the twelfth century. His
Roman de Troie, a long poem in
oetosyllabie couplets, was. founded
‘on accounts of the seige of Troy
written by eye-witnesses. One of
these was the Daretis Phryggi de
excidio Trojae histories, which was
said to be translated by Nepos.
‘The other was the Ephemeris Belli
Trojani, said to have been written
by Dictys the Oretan who was sup
posed to have taken a share in the
capture of Troy. He was anally
of Idomeneus of Crete. Out of
these sources Benoit wove the
story’ of the love of Troilus for the
faithless Briseida.
‘There are passages in the Troi-
lus which reflect a passage in Guil-
laume de Machaut's. Paradise
d@Amour (the love-song of Anti-
gone) and at least nineteen pas-
sages in the poem indicate that
Chaucer had read the Roman de la
Rose, Allusions and certain pro-
verbial expressions in the Troilus
reflects Ovid, the Bible, Vergil,
Alanas de Insulis, Juvenal, Horace
and Seneca.
It is interesting to note the epi-
sodes in Boceaccio which are ex-
panded and enlarged by Chaucer.
‘They are as follows:
1. The first. interview between
Pandaro and Troilo has been ex-
panded from 264 lines in the Filo-
strato into 515 lines in the Troilus.
2. The scene 'in which Pandaro
informs Criseida of Troilo’s. love
occupies 272 lines in Boceuccio;
Chaucer devotes 525: lines to the
episode,
4. Inthe’ Filostrato, Pandaro
and Troilo, on-one occasion, pass
under Criseida’s window. This epi-
sode, which occupies but eight
lines in Boccaccio's poem, seems to
have furnished Chaucer ‘with the
suggestion for the two striking
‘scenes in which he presents Troi-
lus riding down the street past
‘Criseide’s palace.
4, The joys of the lovers, on
‘their first night together, as ‘well
as their anguish at parting at

The book not only gives us the
details of the myriad prison admin-

. NEW VARIETY OF ‘LILY
‘WHITES.
If the writer mistakes not, the
term lily white had its origin under
te administration of William Me-
Kinley. It meant then a. Southern
Republican who denied the Negro
participation in the management
of the party. ‘The Reconstruction
governments had come and gone.
The North capitulated to the South
in 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes was
the great compromiser. He was
permitted to assume the presidency
on the distinct understanding. that
the political “ equality of the
Negro was not to be insisted upon.
Many of the most ardent and de-
vant. white Republicans were left
seattered through the Sonth by the
defunct Reconstruction regime.
‘They were undeviating devotees of
the constitutional rights of the
black man, for which many of them
had fought in the Civil War. Tom
Reed, of Maine, was candidate for
the nomination against William
McKinley in 1896, Reed stood by
the Constitution and the Negro.
McKinley looked askance, Reed

tively small, admitted him freely

structed no longer to insist on the
absolute exclusion of the Negro
from party management after the
manner of Virginia, North Caroli-
na, Florida, and Texas, but to ad-
mit a Negro or so to each delega-
tion so as to give color to the com-
bination, This procedure was fol-
lowed in Georgia, Lonisiana, ‘and

vised in Mississippi, but the local
lily white boss stoutly refused to
admit any tinge of color te his

of his chief, fought valiantly for
the ‘admission of the lily white
delegation at the Chicago Conven-
tion. He was foreed to desist only
when ‘Congressman DePriest, Bob
Chureh, Roscoe Simmons and the
rest of the Negro delegates threat-
ened to bring the open issue to the
floor, which the wily Postmaster
General quickly sensed would too
greatly embarrass Mr. Hoover
with the Negro yoters of the North
upon whom he must largely depend
for whatever hopes he may have
for reelection. It was thus’ that
Howard and Booze won’ a victory
over Mr, Hoover's lily white po-
icy.
The new lily white policy of Mr.
Hoover is identical with that of
Theodore Roosevelt, with certain
important differences, In his pro-
gressive campaign, of 1912, Mr.
Roosevelt insisted that in the man-
agement of the progressive organi-
gations in Southern States white
men should sit at the head of the
table, but only for the reason that
they possessed superior experience,
power and influense. He rigorous:
ly inssited that Negroes should, in
every instanee, occupy seats a-
round the table in accerdance with
their ability to command the sit-
uation, The Rooseveltian policy,
unlike that of Mr. Hoover, was not
limited to the few densely Negro
states, but applied not only to the
South, but, to the North: and West.
Everywhere, the Negro was to be
recognized, not necessarily in pro-
portion to his numbers, but accord-
ing to his weight and worth in the
political’ equation, On the ¢on-
trary Mr. Hoover advocates home-
opathic. Negro representation only
in Georgia, South Carolina, Louisi-
ana and Mississippi, but ‘permits
Virginia, North Carolina and Texas
to exclude the black man absolute
ly without one word of censure or
rebuke from the head of the Re-
publican party.
If Mr. Hoover will come out
from behind. the. veil and openly
declare his Negro. policy, as Mr.
Roosevelt did, so that we may
know precisely where the head of
the Republican party stands, such

THEATERS SPORTS
MRS. BREWER ASKS TO HAVE DIVORCE SUIT DISMISSED
School Teacher Angers Court When She "Silently" Protests Remarks
A petition to dismiss a previous ne asking for a separation from her husband was argued before justice James M. Proctor in the District Supreme Court, Tuesday, by attorneys for Mrs. Mary Gibon Brewer, teacher at Dunbar High School.
The petition for divorce with limony was filed by Mrs. Brewer sometime ago. Since then Mrs. Brewer has decided not to go through with the first action due to the attendant publicity. However, Mrs. Brewer filed the latter petition asking for dismissal over the protests of her attorney, Chas. P. Henry.
Mrs. Brewer dismissed Attorney Henry recently and engaged Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins. Justice Proctor intimated that he would dismiss the first suit after counsel had settled details in reference to a receivership of property owned by the Brewers at 1010 Fairmont street, northwest, where William M. Brewer, the husband besides. Mrs. Brewer is living with her mother at the Howard Manor Apartments, 654 Girard street, northwest, Mr. Brewer is also a teacher at Dunbar High School.
Silent Protest Justice Proctor took exceptions to certain gestures Mrs. Brewer made in court, Tuesday and threatened to hold her in contempt of court when she is alleged to have silently protested" against certain remarks made by the court.
The Brewers were married December 24, 1924, by the Rev. Frances J. Grimke. They lived together until June, 1929, when the first "break" in their matrimonial bark was alleged to have taken place. In her suit for divorce Mrs. Brewer claimed her husband was cruel and threatened to leave home. She alleged at one time she found him loading a pistol and she screamed for help. Mrs. Brewer also set forth in her petition that her husband refused to have children, and as a result of his action she suffered much mental and physical agony. In a cross bill filed Mr. Brewer claimed that his wife's mother, Mrs. Mary Gibson, was the cause of their martial difficulties and claimed that his mother-in-law encouraged her daughter to be an antagonistic toward shim.
Attorney Henry has also filed a petition against Mrs. Brewer for counsel fees. He was engaged December 18, 1930.
Tex. Negro Demo. Demand Election Judges' Arrest
Houston, Tex. (CNS)—Negroes who were not allowed to vote in the Democratic primaries Saturday are seeking the arrest of the primary election judges for violation of the Federal code governing suffrage rights.
The Negroes of this city have already sought warrants for the election board here but there has been no action taken to date. In other counties where Negroes were disbarred from voting similar efforts are being made to hold the judges accountable for the exclusion of Negroes. They will press action on the basis of the Federal statute which states that any election judge denying a qualified voter the right to vote is liable to a $5,000 fine and a big damage suit. A number of counties in the State allowed Negroes to vote, breaking a precedent dating back to carpet bag days. Many other counties continued their practice of barring Negroes from the primary. In Houston several hundred Negroes attempted to vote. In most instances election judges, backed up by police stationed at the polls to prevent disorder, refused them admission.
a demonstration against Negro voters was manifested in Grayson County when unidentified persons circulated handbills warning Negroes to stay away from the polls.

WILKINSON AND LICHTMAN SPEAK AT CAMP OPENING
WILKINSON AND LICHTMAN SPEAK AT CAMP OPENING
Forty cars from Washington, and many from the neighboring community journeyed to Camp Lichtman in the Shenandoah National Park, last Sunday, for the dedicatory exercises. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, whose arrival was delayed because of lending a hand to Major Campbell Johnson in motor difficulties, spoke of the subjective and objective appreciation of Mr. Lichtman's gift—the subjective appreciation as the gratitude we feel, and the objective as that which we express in enthusiastic support of the public enterprises in which Mr. Lichtman is interested.
Major Johnson paid tribute to Mr. Lightman for his munificent gift, and tq John W. McNair, supervisor of the United States Forest Service, who aided in the selection of a site. Tribute was also paid to the contractors and workmen for the splendid performance of their tasks in getting the camp ready for occupancy according to schedule. Dr. C. Herbert Marshall served as master of ceremonies, introducing Dr. Wm. O. Claytor as president of the Y.M.C.A. board of managers, who welcomed the visitors and presented Rufus G. Byars, member of the camp committee, who introduced Mr. Lightman.
In his presentation address Mr. Lichtman spoke of his plan for the development of the camp from its humble beginning to a point where it would compare favorably with the best camps in the country. He expressed the hope that the public would sufficiently appreciate the venture as to give it is whole-hearted support. J. G. Logan, principal of Shaw Junior High School, Washington, expressed appreciation on behalf of the citizens, and Emory B. Smity, publicity director at Howard University, presented Mr. Lichtman with the following testimonial:
"Inspired by a genuine interest in the welfare of his fellowmen, irrespective of race, color, or creed, and a desire to promote health, and happiness of youth through suitable facilities that might aid in the development of vibrant manhood and patriotic citizenship, with a generosity particularly significant in the midst of an economic crisis, Mr. A.

THE WILL OF LATE RICHARD BROOKS BROKEN IN COURT
Mother Of Deceased Left Out Of Will; Attorney Watson Wins Victory
ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The will of the late Richard H. Brooks, jr. was successfully contested Friday in Corporation Court in the City of Alexandria, by the heirs of the deceased through their attorney, Thomas M. Watson. The legality of the instrument in question was defended by Carl Eudwesky, white, attorney for the sole legatee thereunder, Mrs. Diana Brunson Brooks, widow of the deceased.
The alleged will was contested on the ground that the testator was of unsound mind, and it was also alleged that undue influence and fraud were employed to procure it.
Notwithstanding the testimony of numerous witnesses (a number of them white) who testified that the deceased was of sound mind and that the alleged will was lawfully procured, it was proven to the satisfaction of the jury that the objections of the contestants were valid.
The examination of witnesses was bitter and searching, lasting several hours, after which, Attorney Budwesky attempted to impress the jury that the white witnesses for Mrs. Diana Brunson could not be wrong.
But the jury preferred to heed the logical eloquent, fervent, and emotional appeal and argument to the effect that a sane man who had cared for his mother throughout his life and had expressed his intentions to always care for her, would not forget her in his hour of death and in the day of her sore need, as was pointed out to them by Attorney Watson of the firm of Tucker and Watson.

BETTER CITIZENS BUREAU HOLDS RENT MEETING
President Jernagin And Secretary Ellis Present Plans To Mass Meeting
A mass meeting of citizens was held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church on Sunday, July 31, relative to the housing and rent situation among Negro resident of the District of Columbia. The Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president of the Better Citizens Bureau, served as chairman, and in his introductory remarks made a plea that Negroes throughout the country organize for the purpose of protecting their rights as citizens. He stressed particularly the evident inactivity of the group masses in the support of legislation which concerns Negroes, and submitted that the Better Citizens Bureau has as the principal platform of its program the representation of the Negro before Congressional Committees in the matter of Federal legislation.
Roy A. Ellis, executive secretary of the Better Citizens Bureau, defended the position of the organization with reference to his recent statement before the Senate Distric Committee as pertains to the investigation of that body of the alleged high rents paid in the District of Columbia. Mr. Ellis deplored the lack of interest and cooperation among Negroes in problems affecting their welfare, and made a striking comparison of the results as evidenced by organization among whites, and the corresponding multitudinous complaints and lack of organization and accomplishments of Negroes. Mr. Ellis said, "the Better Citizens Bureau in its survey is interested only in ascertaining whether the real estate dealers and owners are receiving more than a fair return on their investment in Negro properties. We have facts and evidence which show that the rentals and sales of colored properties are in excess of the amounts charged in white people for like properties, and our aim and interest is solely to assist in the measures which will cure this insidious exploitation of the Negro Race."
J. C. Olden urged the local citizenry to take an active interest in their civic matters, and gave a brief resume of his recent investigation of the rents being charged Negroes for dwellings formerly occupied by whites. Mr. Olden is quoted, "the Negro must realize that there is little to be gained by silent protest, and uness he awakens to the fact that he must fight, (and this can be done only through organization.) in his own right to correct the e_vils of which we complain, there will be no satisfactory adjustment of our claims. It becomes the duty of every Negro to unite in a combined effort, productive of his own initiative, in the support of legislation to our benefit, and in opposition to legislation which is to our detriment." Several persons in the audience expressed their endorsement of the Better Citizens Bureau and its program, and volunteered their aid in defense of its purposes. Among those who participated in the open discussion which followed were: Mrs. Annie M. Lucas, Messrs. Samuel Burns, G. Washington, D. C. Johnson, S. W. Sormley, J. C. Cole

SOME GOSSIP THAT— "I ONLY HEARD" By And Rivers
Well, business is picking up. The number of complaints has increased, and things are lovely. The only thing that worries me is that Louie Lautier has started "beefing" already. Imagine that! Why that guy "never missed nobody" when he was writing. Get the was! And listen to what he says in his swan song, "I call that 'rag' lousy, for its yarn."
Anyhow, I don't have much space to give you this week, Louie, so I'll have to pick you up later. However, I'll just say this: Be careful what you say about "fixing my business" when you talk at Bennie Hunton's. It sounds rather bad.
And the Republican payroll.
I heard that Mrs. Eugene Davidson has taken an apartment in the 1800 block of S street. She and Miss Irma Gardy moved from the Y.W.C.A. recently.
And Strivers Row.
Not changing the subject, Maybell Owens has taken the Bohannon apartment in Howard Manor. But pardon my error, the name is now, Miss Maybell Covington. Now isn't that nice?
And Fourteenth Street.
It is being said that the National Benefit receivers are cleaning out the district agents who had been given their jobs by John R. Pinkett, who brought one of the actions to throw the insurance company into court. It is further said that certain advisors of the receivers are trying to make a fraternity affair of the jobs made available by the dismissals. Others accuse these advisors of "Uncle Tomism" and dirty work.
At any rate Washington citizens expressed themselves to the receivers in no mistakable terms concerning what they thought of Tecumseh Bradshaw, for many years district manager here. It is generally conceded that Bradshaw is a "prince of a fellow" and as straight as they make them. This view was expressed by a gathering of substantial citizens who visited the receivers Tuesday.
And the $50,000 policyholder.
And now I am hearing about old coals that seem to rekindle. So the story goes, Marjorie Ware seeks an old flame right along the boulevard. Ida Profit makes an excellent "messenger girl." But what about the "old flame"? Grab his arm and rush him on down U street, girlie! And for all I care, keep on rushing him.
And the drug store cowboys.
Here's a true story I heard—the names are phoney. Jacob Spruce and his two friends, Lambing and Zilch, decided to entertain three trails. The boys were short of funds, so the master mind of Jacob Spruce was called upon, and he assured his associates that he would "fix everything."
Away to the beach in style! And such style! Twenty bucks worth of edibles, etc, and the bill! Now! Oh, yes, yes! A check drawn on the Sand Bank of Washington over the flourishing signature of Jacob Spruce. And home! A new phenomenon took place in nearby waters the other day—paper bouncing on water. And did it bounce? Boy, that check bounced all up and down the Chesapeake Bay, up the Potomac River, skipped around downtown, and chased Jacob Spruce around on U street. The boys are now figuring in what proportions they are to contribute in Uncle Sam's currency to stop Jacob's bouncing paper.
To close with something extreme, Charlie Craft says that Dizzy Vance asked him to go with him to the opera the other night. When the laughing ceased, Charlie went on to explain that Dizzy had a classical strain that was kept suppressed most of the time. Now isn't Charlie just too observing? And tra la la la.
Child Killed In Fall
Reginald Cunningham, one-year-old baby, was fatally injured Friday, when he slipped from his mother's arms and rolled out a second story window in the 100 block of M street. The baby was pronounced dead at Children's Hospital, and Dr. C. J. Murphy, deputy coroner, issued a certificate of accidental death. The window sill in the house was practically on a level with the floor and the mother was leaning out with the child in her arms to get fresh air.
To Clean It, of Course
"Mummy, why does it rain?"
"To make things grow. To us apples, pears, corn, flow"
"Then why does it rain"
"pavement!"
