HOOVER REFUSES TO SEE WRITERS AT WHITE HOUSE
Group Came To Protest Eviction of Bonus Marchers From National Capital
President Hoover refused to see a delegation of writers representing the National Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners at the White House, Wednesday.
The group came here to protest against Hoover's part in the eviction of the bonus marchers from Washington, but they were denied admittance to Hoover's office. Instead, Theidore Joslin, one of the President's secretaries, received the delegation which included Sherwood Anderson, who was spokesman; James Rorty, poet; William N. Jones, editor of a Baltimore Negro paper; Waldo Frank, novelist; and Elliot E. Cohen, secretary of the National Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners.
To their written statement of protest was added a further protest against the refusal of Hoover to see them.
Mr. Frank told Joslin that he knew Hoover had received politicians, school children, boy scouts carrying birthday greetings, and women flyers, and that he considered the refusal to meet the writers as "proof that Hoover holds intellectual opinion in contempt."
Joslin read a prepared statement in which he gave out the usual hooyet that after the army took charge "not a shot was fired or a drop of blood spilt."
He forgot to state that babies are still dying as a result of the poison gas used by the soldiers on women and children. As usual Hoover was "too busy" to see the group, however he always finds time to go in his back yard and pose with those bringing him gifts, cakes and other presents.
NEGRO INVITED, AS GUEST AT WHITE HOUSELUNCHEON
Five Negroes attended the luncheon at the White House Thursday afternoon. They were Perry W. Howard, national committeeman from Mississippi; Dr. John R. Hawkins, director of colored campaign activities during Hoover's 1928 campaign; and Mrs. Mary Booze, the national committeewoman of Mississippi. Rev. W. H. Jernagin, alternate from the District to the National Republican Convention in Chicago, and Dr. L. Harris, of Georgia, were also present. Mr. Isaacs, of Mississippi, was detained and not get to make the trip to Washington.
Charles Isaacs, of Natchez, Miss., has been invited to the buffet luncheon at the White House, next Thursday. The luncheon is planned as a prelude to ceremonies that night at which President Herbert Hoover will be formally notified of his nomination by the Republican National Convention. Mr. Isaacs has been designated as the Mississippi member of the Notification Committee. He also was delegate to the Republican Convention. It was explained at the White House that the invitation was "purely routine," Mr. Isaacs having been included along with other members of the Notification Committee.
The last time a colored person has been a White House guest was on June 18, 1929, at which time Mrs. Herbert Hoover entertained Mrs. Oscar DePriest, wife of Congressman Oscar DePriest, Illinois representative, at a tea given to women of the Congressional set. About forty women were present at this affair.
A number of Southerners criticized the President for inviting Mrs. DePriest, however, she attended the tea and expressed herself as having had a delightful time.

$25 TAX BANS OVER 1,000 TAXIS FROM STREETS
Residents Complain of Excessive Speed And Recklessness of Drivers
Despite the fact that nearly 1,000 taxicabs have been forced to leave the streets due to the new ordinance that requires a tax of $25, the cabs have hardly been missed.
One of the largest operators of Cabs in the city told the Tribune this week that most of the drivers to leave the street were private owners who worked during the day and drove after working hours.
The new tax is an increase of $16 over the former fee for cabs. Residents of the northwest section have been constantly complaining of the large number of taxicabs that clutter U street and other untown streets in the evening just before the theatres close.
Many drivers give little consideration to pedestrians and other drivers who are using the streets, Hundreds of taxicab operators are alleged to have caused many accidents that might have been avoided if the taxi operators would realize that the streets do not belong to them.
Complaints have been registered of taxicab drivers stopping suddenly in the street when they think they see a prospective fate, and of "hogging" in the thoroughfares of the city. This is especially true of the drivers in the northwest section.
Taxicab drivers are also guilty of excessive speed in the streets, which endangers lives of others. They frequently hold up a line of traffic in heavily congested streets while passengers are loaded and discharged. Many drivers have been seen to hold up a string of cars while the operator has stopped to hold a vonversation with some pedestrian. Private drivers point out that they would be speedily arrested if they maintained the speed of the average taxicab driver through the streets.
Returning good for evil, accomplishes for us more forcecably and quietly our desire, than an entire arsenal,—where individuals are concerned.
ROY ANDERSON KILLED IN CRAP GAME ARGUMENT
Freddie Freeman Held For Murder Following Fatal Shooting
An argument over a bet in a crap game, Wednesday, caused the death of Roy Anderson, 39, 1 Eighteenth street, southeast, who was shot in the abdomen and died at Casualty Hospital Friday night. Frederick Leonard Freeman, 117 Sixteenth street, northwest, was arrested in connection with the death of Anderson and held for the action of the grand jury following an inquest at the District Morgue Saturday morning.
The shooting occurred at the Sixteenth street address, where several men were engaged in gambling. According to a statement given Detective Sergeant Dennis J. Murphy, of the Homicide Squad, by Freeman, the latter said he had won a small sum of money from Anderson, who had lost in the game. Freeman is alleged to have loaned the money to Anderson, but refused to play against Anderson for the money he had loaned him. The refusal of Freeman to continue play is alleged to have angered Anderson, who is said to have called Freeman a "rat gambler," an threatened to take some money from Freeman, who was the winner.
Freeman told police Anderson went into the yard of the house and secured an iron pipe, came back into the room and struck at him. The pipe struck a china closet and broke several glasses. Freeman then said he reached in the china closet where he kept his revolver, secured the gun and fired once at Anderson.
The wounded man stumbled from the house and fell in the street. He was later removed to Casualty Hospital, where he died Friday.
Others in the game who testified that Anderson became abusive when he lost several dollars were Ernest Holmes and George Brooks. Freeman left the house after he had shot Anderson, and was later arrested at a house on C street near Kentucky avenue.
Agnes Dyson, 100 block of Sixteenth street, found the gun with which Anderson was shot, in the back yard in a pile of dirt. She
SAYS GOVERNMENT PLANTED AGENTS TO START RIOT
Claims Negro Who Resisted Eviction Was Planted In Building
J. W. Wilford, commander of the bonus marchers who were exiled from their Pennsylvania camp on July 28, charged that the Government planted agents in the building to provoke the riot which caused the death of two veterans and the serious injury to several others.
The grand jury is investigating the riot in which police and former soldiers clashed. Soldiers called out by President Hoover drove the veterans from the area and later forced them to leave the District.
Wilford in his affidavit made public Wednesday claimed "that these agents caused the trouble is practically certain and could have been proved before the grand jury of the District of Columbia if it had permitted evidence from both sides. The only man who resisted eviction in the first building, that of the Texas contingent, was a Negro who had been planted there. He had been put out by the Texas men twice that morning, and was slipped back in. There is every reason to suppose that it was started by Government agents who had posed as veterans and were camping among the men. The brief brick fight was not begun by my men."
Sergt. E. W. Reed, of the Police Crime Prevention Bureau, said that secret service agents and Army intelligence officers, in civilian clothing, had worked in the camps without the knowledge of the veterans. "Our men worked with both the Secret Service and the Army men," Reed said.
The police sergeant, however, regarded as improbable the charge made by Wilford that the Federal agents had provoked the riots.
R. B. Ellison, now national organizer for the Khaki Shirts, an outgrowth of the Bonus Army, said today that he had been informed by reliable persons that Federal agents had been planted in the camp.
Ellison also said he was told by Waters the day previous to the riots that troops were to be called out.
Wilford's statement says that "the events of July 28 were pre-arranged and planned at least a week in advance at a conference between Mr. Hoover and certain members of his cabinet."
Theodore Joslin, President Hoover's police relations secretary, when asked about the charges, threw up his hands and shaking his head, said, "There simply is no comment to make on such a report."
Dean Slowe To Lecture on "The Negro—A Challenge To American Civilization"
Dean Lucy D. Slowe will be one of the lecturers on August 15 and 16 at Chautauqua, New York; where an institute is being held under the auspices of the Women's Home Missions Boards of the various protest denominations. This is the second consecutive year that Dean Slowe has been invited to lecture and lead discussions at the institute. She will deliver two lectures, "The Negro—A Challenge to American Civilization," and "Should the Church Teach Youth to Play as Well as to Pray?"
Boy Auto Victim
Gerald Tomkins, 3, 1800 block of Vermont avenue, was treated at Garfield Hospital, Wednesday, for cuts on the head, received when he was knocked down by an automobile near his home. His condition was said to be not serious.
turned it over to the police at No. 4 Precinct.
In a statement of Officer Engle at Casualty Hospital, Anderson said Freeman shot him after the two had been kidding, calling each other "rats." He said the man fired the shot without provocation.
'MOTHER' MOONEY PLEADS FOR SON, SCOTTSBORO BOYS
84-Year-Old White Woman Addresses Mixed Group At Temple Meeting
"Mother" Mooney, 84-year-old mother of Tom Mooney, addressed a packed auditorium Monday night at the Pythian Temple, Tenth and U streets, northwest, in making a plea for the release of her son, who is serving a life sentence in a California prison, and the nine Scottboro boys who are under sentence of death in an Aalabama prison.
Mrs. Mooney spoke under the auspices of the International Labor Defense, an alleged Communist organization. He hearers were colored and white.
Police in Hall
The hall where the meeting was held was fairly bristling with uniformed policemen and plainclothes men. Another squad of officers and detectives were stationed on the outside of the building. The meeting, however, was closed without disorder.
The silver-haired woman was given a rousing cheer by the assemblage which stood when she was presented by William Powell, local representative of the International Labor Defense in Washington. Mrs. Mooney only spoke a few words, but they were given another cheer when she took her seat. She asked that her son be set free and that the nine boys in Alabama be released. Mooney has served 16 years of his sentence on a charge of having taken part in bombing the Preparedness Day Parade in California.
The nine youths in Alabama are under the death sentence on a charge of having attacked two white prostitutes while on a freight train.
Claim Frameup
The principal address was made by Richard Moore, member of the executive committee of the International Labor Defense. Mr. Moore reviewed the Mooney case and gave a brief outline of the arrest, conviction and the trial of the Scottboro boys. He characterized both trials as "frame-ups of the bosses" or capitalist government. The meeting was one of a series being held throughout the country in the interest of the Scottboro boys and Mooney. The case of the Southern boys has been taken before the Supreme Court of the United States.
Forced Out of Town
Bowell told his audience of the happenings here during the riot of the bonus marchers and said he was arrested along with several others, placed in a truck and forced by police to go as far as Frederick, Md., before he was released. He said he made his way to Baltimore and from there to Washington. Moore said the American workers will fight the starvation plan, and said America was a government of the bosses or ruling class. He said the struggle of the working class has only begun, and the "slave bill owed Negroes' by America will be paid in full." The speaker declared that Negroes have already demonstrated how they can fight.
Freedom Demanded
After the meeting, telegrams were sent to the governor of California demanding the immediate release of Mooney, another to Chief Justice Hughes, and the governor of Alabama demanding the freedom of the nine Scottboro boys, and one to President Hoover demanding the release of all "class prisoners." The speaker said the blood of the two bonus marchers here who were slain by police, and the children who died as a result of tear gas poisoning "were placed on the shoulders of the President."

NINE MEMBERS OF 'CIRCLE GANG' HELD IN COP'S DEATH
Nine youths were held for action of the grand jury Tuesday morning in connection with the death of Park Policeman Milo J. Kennedy, white, who was beaten to death by a gang of young men late Saturday night in Logan Circle, northwest. Three of the men were charged with being principals in the brutal murder, and six were named as accessories. Those named as principals were Joseph J. Jackson, 20, 1210 N street, northwest; Ralph Edward Holmes, 25, 1518 Corcoran street, northwest; and Irving Murray, 26, 1509 R street, northwest.
Six Accessories
Accessories held are Louis Murray, 23, 1518 Corcoran street; Harry Duval, 24, 1514 Columbia road, northwest; Leroy Robinson, 23, 1709 Sixteenth street, northeast; Leroy Branzer, 20, 1726 Seventeenth street, northwest; Griffon Baylow, 23, 1326 Eighteenth street, northwest; and Walter Murray, of Hamilton, Va.
Police are seeking other members of the gang that attacked Kennedy, who died at Garfield Hospital Sunday afternoon as the result of a fractured skull. The officer's face was beaten beyond recognition.
Henson Claims Innocence
Alphonso Henson, of Landover, Md., was arrested, but police are of the opinion that he is not the Alphonso Henson they are seeking in connection with the murder. The Maryland boy told a coroner's jury at the District Morgue that he was nto in the park the night of the attack and denied knowing any of the men connected with the murder. Henson said he assists a jantor at the Ontario Apartment and motors to and from work every day. Police are of the opinion that he had nothing to do with the attack of Miliceman Kennedy. Police state that about 15 men took part in the beating of the officer, and are bending every effort to round up other members of the gang.

KIDNAPPED. THEN ROBBED OF $5
Willie H. Banks, 25, of the 1000 block of I street, told police Sunday he was kidnapped, taken to Baltimore by three men last Friday night, where he was beaten and robbed.
Banks said the attack was motivated by revenge for his having two men arrested on a robbery charge several days ago. He said the trio stopped him at Fourteenth and I streets, Friday, and questioned him concerning the robbery, then forced him in to an automobile. They drove to the outskirts of Baltimore, where he was commanded to get out of the car. The three men attacked him, he said, beat him and robbed him of $5. He was left in Baltimore to find his way back to Washington the best he could.

Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, Issues Last Post-Convention Proclamation to Elks
TO THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF ALL BRANCHES OF THE IMPROVED BENEVOLENT AND PROTECTIVE ORDER OF ELKS OF THE WORLD.
Greetings:
The Grand Exalted Ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World hereby issues the LAST CALL for the Antlered Herd for the 1932 Convention in Atlantic City, Playground of the World.
Motor caravans, omnibuses, trains and planes, and other modes of transportation on land and sea, in two short weeks, will move on from the Four Corners of the Earth to Atlantic City, where will be held the most business-like and constructive, as well as the most picturesque and enjoyable convention our Noble Order has ever known. While the Grand Exalted Ruler and his Cabinet had planned a strictly business session, we have been constrained to yield to public clamor from everywhere for a full Grand Lodge program not only of business, but also of choice recreation in the City by the Sea.
Royal Welcome
Mayor Bacharach and the City Fathers, together with the Director of Public Safety, William Cuthbert, who will turn out with the Big Patrol to meet the Grand Exalted Ruler on his arrival, are vieing with each other to see which can do the most for the stranger who comes within their gates. The largest hotels have guaranteed in writing, which guarantee is in the hands of the Grand Exalted Ruler, that we shall have low rates, while the General Committee and the Committee on Housing are guaranteeing rooms from $1.00 a day up, and executing a bond that there will be no extortion practiced on any who secure accommodations through the housing committee at the general headquarters.
Gray Hoyt, chairman of the General Committee, a brother of the immortal Stewart Hoyt, is ably assisted by District Deputy Wilson, Secretary Ambrose Briscoe, Exalted Ruler Herman Hill, Assistant Grand Legal Advisor Isaac H. Nutter, Daughter Ruler Harriet Brown, Daughter Ruler Edith Carey, and every loyal member of Lighthouse Lodge and Atlantic and Ocean Temples.
Tentative Program
The annual sermon will be preached by the Grand Chaplain, Rev. W. George Avant, Sunday afternoon, August 21, at Asbury Church, and will be followed at night by a general reunion at the Lighthouse Lodge for renewal of old acquaintances.
Education Day is Monday, beginning at 9:30 o'clock, at the New Jersey Avenue School with the annual session of the Elk Student Aid Alumni Association. The Executive Board of the Grand Temple will meet with the Grand Patriarch at Soldiers' Home, Adriatic and New Jersey Avenues, at 10:30 o'clock. United States Senator Kean, United States Senator Barbour, Governor Moore, the Mayor and city officials will deliver their greeting of welcome at 2 o'clock Monday at Fitzgerald's Auditorium. The Board of Education of the Grand Lodge will meet at Lighthouse Lodge at 5 o'clock the same afternoon. And at 8 o'clock Monday night will be held the Grand Oratorical Contest, at the New Jersey Avenue School, where contestants, regional winners of $1,000 cash, will be heard from the various districts, and grand prize awards will be made.
The Grand Lodge session will open at 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, at Fitzgerald's Auditorium, the Grand Exalted Ruler presiding. The grand lodge will be organized and the Credentials Committee report heard.
The ANNUAL PARADE will be held as usual on ATLANTIC AVENUE and on BALTIC AVENUE. More than 50 Bands and more than 100 Marching Clubs have made application for places in line. For the first time in history, under command of MAJOR GENERAL EMERSON GRAY, the ANTLERED GUARD will march. Acting in his official capacity, Major General Gray, ably assisted by ADJUTANT GENERAL HOBSON REYNOLDS, and such Brigadier Generals as the respective States and Districts and other jurisdictions shall name, will function. A general clamor of citizens, both white and colored, in Atlantic City, favors the appearance of the Antlered Guard on the Billion-Dollar Boardwalk after the main thoroughfares have been passed. At any rate there will be a Monster BOARDWALK PARADE Wednesday, when our Lovely Sepia Daughters will engage in the International BATHING BEAUTY CONTEST and PAGEANT. The two parades are not to be confused. Grand Marshal Sidney B. Thompson will see to that.
Outstanding among the features of the Convention Program is the massive rendition of an Ensemble Musical Chef D'Ouvre under direction of the Grand Bandmaster, that Plutocrat of the Baton, the Impressive and Extraordinary Impresario, Will H. Vodery, who played the World War into submission.
During the week will be staged the Elk Championship Series between such teams as Brother "Cum" Posey and Brother Dick Lundy, and others in the game can arrange in tournament fashion.
Due to the fact that railroad rates, especially from the South, have been placed at unheard-of low prices, excursions from everywhere are being arranged by lodges and railroads, especially with this point in mind—THE GRAND BALL and the ANNUAL PARADE for the first time will be held on the same day. The GRAND MARCH will be led by the Grand Exalted Ruler, Tuesday night, midnight, at the $20,000,000 Auditorium, as in 1929, and sensible excursions will be arranged to take in both parade and ball. Brothers, talk to your roilroads and bus lines with this in view.
Co-ordinate and Concentrate
At this time candidates of political parties everywhere are most solicitous of our assistance and interest in November. We are desirous of rendering help to our friends, but we must take organized steps to learn who they are. So, therefore, send up to the Grand Lodge your strongest men in order that we may profit by conference and exchange of thoughts, and move forward to the goal where we may take our place in the Sun and go on with the other groups of intelligent people of the Earth along the Trunk Line of Peace and Freedom.
On to Atlantic City
Come on, then, Brothers, to Atlantic City, where you may be advised, not by scandal sheets, but by the reports of officers, of the true State of Our Beloved Order which shall win because she never quit, and which shall go on because she has never ceased to function in CHARITY, JUSTICE, BROTHERLY LOVE and FIDELITY, not even for one annual session, as the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World.
Until I meet you face to face. I remain
Attest:

N. M. A. PLANSTO BOOST YOUNG MEN
NEW YORK.-In the plan of reorganization which will be presented at the forthcoming meeting of the National Medical Association in Washington, on August 16, 17 and 18, a special effort will be made to attract the younger men of the profession to occupy more conspicuous places in the association. With this in view, the program this year will be very largely dominated by men who have not been active in the organization in past years. Some of those who will be in prominent places this year are Dr. P. C. Turner, of the Pathological Department of Kansas City Hospital; Dr. E. B. Perry, son of the distinguished J. E. Perry, associate surgeon of Wheatey and Kansas City Hospitals; Dr. Floyd Hopkins, of Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia; Dr. C. C. Ames, associate surgeon of Receiving Hospital, Detroit; Dr. Euclid Ghee, association surgeon of Medical Center (City Hospital), Jersey City, N.J.; Dr. C. F. Janifer, of the Child Hygiene Department, Newark, N.J.; Dr. Thomas Bell, of the Tuberculosis Department, Newark, N.J., former physician of Riverside Hospital, New York. In addition to these there will be other conspicuous men of the profession, such as Dr. John Q. McDougald, for many years surgeon-in-chief of Douglass Hospital, Philadelphia; Dr. J. H. Hale, professor of surgery, Meharry Medical College, and many others.
There is already evidence that the change of the meeting place from Los Angeles to Washington has had a most healthful effect on the prospects of the convention this year. A large number of reservations for accommodations have already been received at Washington. The fact that all of the activities will be concentrated at Howard University Medical School and Freedmen's Hospital, together with the accommodations for delegates in the girls' dormitory, will tend to make the convention cohesive.

Dr. Gray Passed Georgia Medical Board, Interning In Kansas City, Mo.
Dr. Benjamin A. Gray, of Washington, D.C., who graduate from Howard University, School of Medicine, June, 1932, has just been notified, by the State Board of Medical Examiners, of the State of Georgia, that he was admitted, upon examination, to practice medicine and surgery in that state as of July 28, 1932.
Dr. Gray, is now an interne, since July 1, 1932, at General Hospital No. 2, Kansas City, Mo., where he was assigned to the emergency ward. He states that he has found plenty of emergency cases to keep him busy.
Soon after his graduation in June, Dr. Gray, with several others of his class mates, motored to Georgia from Washington for the purpose of taking the State Medical examination, after which they motored back to Washington, and from here, he motored to his present post in Kansas City.
In all about fifteen colored took the Board and about 200 whites. He has not heard from any of the others who took the examination.
BLOOMFIELD, N. J.
By Rev. Harvey A. Onque
The death of Mrs. Blanche Van
Horn-Johnson, wife of Granville
Johnson, of 416 Broughton Avenue,
Bloomfield, N. J. came as a shock
to the many friends who knew
and loved her so widely. Mrs. Johnson
passed away in the Mountainside
Hospital of Montclair, N. J. Friday
afternoon between four and five
o'clock.
The body of the departed was funeralized from her late home Tuesday afternoon with the Rev, Forman W. Meens, pastor of Salem Baptist Church, Jersav City, N. J., officiating. The Rev. Yancy Thompson, pastor Congregational Church, Orange, and Rev. Harvey A. Onque, Supt. Colored Dept. New Jersey Christian Endeavor Union, assisted. One of Mr. Johnson's young pupils in music, sang a colo. Mr. Johnson is Organist-Director of Salem Baptist Church choir, and he is the son of Mme. Minnie Johnson, the Dean of Pipe Organists in this part of the country.
The lamented Mrs. Johnson leaves a faithful husband, a son, Granville, Jr. 14 years, a little daughter, Iri. 10 years old, four sisters, and two brothers, with a large number of nieces and nephews. It is interesting to mention that this loving wife and mother was converted and baptized in Salem Baptist Church in her early twenties, shortly before being married. They would have been in happy wedlock 15 years, had she been able to see September 1, 1932.
She was appointed Captain of the Bloomfield Colored Girl Scouts. held the position as secretary of The Ladies' Aid and Missionary Society connected with Trinity Presbyterian Church, Bloomfield, N. J. and she is ever to be remembered as one of the most ardent, faithful and studious members of the Lincoln University Summer Conference for Christian leaders, held from July 11 to 18. last. It was a conference of Christian Workers Family never to be forgotten.

$150,000 LEGACY INVOLVED IN PLOT AGAINST GARVEY
A Cocoanut Grove In British Honduras Left U.N.I.A. Basis For Plot
NE WYORK CITY (CNS)—The differences between the two factions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association founded by Marcus Garvey and incorporated in the United States, of which Lionel Francis is president-general, and the organization which Garvey now heads which he founded in Jamaica following his withdrawal from the incorporated group, has reached its climax in a legal battle to obtain a legacy of $150,000 and an attempt to jail Garvey.
The legal battle is being waged in England over the possession of a coconut plantation in British Honduras, nine miles in length valuated at $150,000, which was left to "the parent body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association" by one Isaac E. Morter, of British Honduras.
Morter's widow contested the will on the grounds that the improvement organization was contrary to public policy and won. Marcus Garvey was then the president-general of the organization and engaged counsel to contest the decision. He won. The Privy Council awarding the estate to the U.N. I.A., Inc.
Before the estate could be transferred another relative of Morter's filed a new suit but this time the Honduras courts ruled against the relative. In the meantime Garvey had gotten out of the incorporated organization and had founded an organization of his own in Jamaica. He joined with the relative, bringing the new suit in an attempt to get some part of the estate for his own organization. Together they have appealed to the Privy Council to rule against the U.N.I. A., Inc., and the incorporated organization is fighting back.
As a result of bitter feeling engendered by these suits, members of the American organization have attented to interest the government in issuing a mail fraud order against Garvey to have him jailed in connection with some lottery scheme if he attempts to carry out his reported plan of returning to the United States to wrest the organization from their hands. A plot to this effect was uncovered by the Capital News Service several weeks ago, at which time it was learned that members of the American group were furnishing the Government with damaging evidence against Garvey. Since then

the State Department has become interested in the matter, although it could not be learned what action, if any, was contemplated by that department.
In addition members of the organization formerly headed by Garvey are reported to have furnished the Attorney General of Jamaica with evidence which may result in his being jailed in Jamaica on charges of operating a lottery, which is contrary to the law of the island.
NEGRO DEMOCRATS PUT OVER CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (CNS)—Negro Democrat of Shelby county and in other urban centers of the State were given credit here last week for the selection of Hill McAllister as Democratic gubernatorial candidate over his primary opponents, Lewis S. Pope and Malcolm R. Patterson. McAllister had an apparent advantage of some 10,000 votes over his nearest competitor. Pope.
The charge that "Negroes by the truck loads were voted" in the Democratic primary in this city by Representative Edward H. Crump, McAlister partisan, was hurled at the winning candidate by his opponents. Bitter discussion of the Negro voters' importance in the campaign was heard in all sections of the State, especially from the lips of Patterson, the candidate, who had declared he did not want the nomination if he had to have it at the hands of Negroes. How efforts to prevent Negroes from voting failed was revealed in a peculiar way by an editorial in the Commercial-Appal, white daily of this city, which reads in part as follows:
"Holding the Negro Vote"
Housing the Negro
"And now we have an 'Association' to hold the Negro vote intact in the Democratic primary next Thursday.
"It is the 'Independent Business and Civic Association,' with headquarters at 234 Hernando.
"Hundreds of copies of a letter have been sent out, addressed to the 'Colored Citizens of Tennessee, and Especially of Shelby County.'
"The letter characterizes the resolution adopted by the State Democratic primary board, barring the massed voting of Negroes in impotent and illegal." It continues: "Do not be confused by the child's play resolution of the Dejnocratic primary board. They cannot bar you from voting. Remember you are an American citizen and have the right to cast your vote in the primary of any party that may be your political choice."
"These are supported

by a list of legal decisions purporting to show that Negroes have the right to vote in a Democratic primary.
"The Commercial Appeal does not believe it is to the best interests of the white man or the black man that Negroes take part in the Democratic primary." Following the election, a contest against the winner was threatened by his opponents and a Congressional investigation of the primary is being sought.

Negro History Week proves a fruiful' season for presenting plays, pageants and tableaux; but with the coming of the George Washington Bicentennial, we seem to be at sea so far as Negro characters are concerned; but if we would turn to pages of history we would find valuable material, for effective dramatization. I'm not inferring that it is always necessary for Negroes to portray incidents directly connected with the rage, for we are in every way a part of the great unit of American history; but in as much as white America has created a problematic situation, it is oftimes advantageous for the Negro to lay special emphasis on his particular contributions.
With this in mind, we'll think of some of the possibilities for the Bicentennial Celebration. First, we'll picture a tableau in which Crispus Attucks, while resisting the attack of the British soldiers in Boston sheds the first blood in the struggle for independence in the United States.
Can you not see the stage set with British soldiers on one side and Americans on the other, with the black hero in the front fighting?
If this is to be dramatized, Negroes will have to do it, for it is hardly to be expected that white Americans will glorify to this extent the Negro who actually began the Revolution.
Commenting on this and the general bias attitude of members of the Bicentennial Committee relative to eliminating the Negro from the celebration. Dr. Carter G. Woodson says: "To pass over this important event merely because the Negro was the star on that occasion is a most jambable comment on the bias which permeates historical writing in this country and poisons the minds of the large majority of our self-styled patriots." "How can the Negro be shifted aside to some jim-crow performance of a single day when he served throughout the struggle?" From the very beginning the Negro showed that he understood the crisis through which the country was passing and manifested the courage to battle for the rights which were then denied the colonists. Catching the spirit of Crispus Attucks himself, an old colored lady called upon to serve some

British officers who had gone out on a reconnaissance tour from Boston, was addressed by one of them, saying, "This is a fine country out here." She promptly replied, "It is, and we have fine men to defend it, too."
"The truth of this courageous assertion dawned a few days later upon these officers when they saw a Negro, Peter Salem, strike down Major Piteaime at Bunker Hill and had their forces further weakened by the daring deeds of Peter Salem that same day at Charlestown. How can Boston stage any true celebration of the Battle of Bunker Hill and leave out the Negro merely because a few racial toadies have agreed that the Negro's participation be restricted to one particular day?"
How can they? That's the question. Quite true all of this is history and intensely dramatic. But on the other hand it is considered so un-American for a Negro to have a legitimate reason for striking a white man that such an act, even for a patriotic cause must be treated lightly or die with the stricken unless Negroes rise to the occasion and commemorate it.
Among the many other battle scenes that could be dramatized is the Battle of Monmonth in which Negroes rallied to the aid of George Washington when the day was almost lost on account of the treachery of Charles Lee. Bancroft in writing the account of the feat said, "Nor may history omit to record that of the Revolutionary patriots who on that day offered their lives for their country, more than 700 black men fought side by side with the white."
Leaving the paths of war where men bleed and die, we are now entering the congenial home of Mr. and Mrs. Wheatley. Here we find the Negro poet, Phyllis, sitting at her desk. There are many dramatizations of this once slave child, but perhaps the most outstanding is Mary White Ovington's play, "Phyllis Wheatley." On my desk is an autographed copy from the author, which has proved to be very interesting. The play is in one act and is suitable for college or high school age. It has four characters—Phyllis Wheatley, her friend, Obour Tanner; an old woman, servant; and John Peters, in love with Phyllis. The scene is in Boston in 1776.
This entertaining and patriotic play contains part of the poem which Phyllis wrote to George Washington. In it she describes him as "first in peace" a phrase which originated with her. The letter which Washington wrote Phyllis on receipt of the poem is read out in the play. It is an important historical document. Obour is a comedy part, and John Peters (who later married Phyllis and shamefully neglected her) is an amusing fop. The costumes are of the continental period. The scene is a room in the Wheatley house. The play of Phyllis Wheatley can be procured of Mary White Oryan. 80

communications should be addressed.
Before closing, I shall mention that much can be done in the way of amatization with the life of Benjamin Banneker, the Arto-American mathematician and astronomer.
During the convention of the American Childhood Association, which was held in Washington, D.C., during the week of May 5 of this year, the Kindergarten Association presented a very effective sketch in which Banneker was pictured, assisting in the laying out of the Federal Territory and Federal City.
Now that I have suggested a few of the many possibilities for Bicentennial dramatizations, let's turn the pages of history.

NURSERY SCHOOL
(Continued from page 9) of Education recently conducted a survey of all nursery schools in the United States, and from 203 responses it was found that 74 of these schools were located in Universities. Of the remainder, 25 offered opportunities for university students to do practice work. Miss Whitcomb spoke of household management houses and home economics as the forerunners of nursery education in the United States. In her address she discussed the vocational aspect of the nursery school as providing opportunity for women students to earn money as a means of furthering their education, and as a profession at the conclusion of a college career.
Dean Lucy D. Slowe extended welcome on behalf of the university, stating that five years ago she had recommended to the board of trustees the establishment of such a school at Howard for the training of prospective mothers and teachers of children. She urged those in charge of the school to make no apology for a small beginning, suggesting that worthwhile achievements spring from such inconspicuous origin. Mrs. Julia W. Shaw, director of home economics of the Washington public schools, divisions 10-13, expressed satisfaction in the fact that several of her teachers were enrolled in this course at Howard University, and promised enthusiastic co-operation with the department during the coming year. Dr. Allen stressed the importance of school health education as a most effective means of creating health consciousness, among chil-

N.A.A.C.P. WIRES CONGRATULATIONS TO RUNNERS
Tolan and Metcalfe Factors In Winning Universal Acclaim For Negroes
NEW YORK.-Eddie Tolan and Ralph Metcalfe, the two great Negro sprinters who finished first and second in the one hundred meter race in the 1932 Olympics at Los Angeles, yesterday, were wired congratulations today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through its secretary, Walter White.
"You have by your great achievement," the N.A.A.C.P. telegram read, "brought honor not only to your country and yourself, but to your race as well. No sane man who is free from prejudice can view your magnificent feat in its grueling demands on energy and courage and ever again think or speak of Negroes as slothful or lacking in stamina and heart."
The New York press is a unit in acclaiming these two great athletes. "With Tolan and Metcalfe finishing one-two," writes Bill Corum in the New York Evening Journal, "it would appear that Eugene O'Neil said a mouthful when he pointed out that all God's chillun got wings." Mr. Corum pays high tribute to Mr. Tolan as "a first-rate scholar and thorough sportsman with a quiet and dignified personality." Mr. Corum concluded: "Thus do clean sports, in spite of all the kidding about the arguments they start, go on wiping out arbitrary lines of creed and race and color."
Lawson Robertson, head coach of the American Track and Field Team, declared that Tolan's victory "was one of the most spectacular finishes that I have ever seen in all my athletic career. This diminutive veteran calling on all his speed, his stamina and his wisdom, won by the width of a razor's blade from Ralph Metcalfe, and there were many who didn't think that Tolan was first to break the tape. They accorded this distinne- on to Metcalfe, who came with cyclonic speed in the last 20 yards and was running over all opposition. I imagine if it had been called a dead heat there wouldn't have been an argument anywhere within the stadium."
In the New York Sun Grantland Rice, one of the best known of American sports writers, asserted that "the one picture that will remain fixed in memory long after these Olympic games are over is the flash of two streaks of black lightning thrown against a cloudless summer sky," and that Tolan and Metcalfe "settled beyond all doubt the sprinting supremacy of the world in one of the closest finishes ever known."
In the New York Herald-Tribune J. P. Abramson paid high tribute to the two Negro runners in "outsprinting the world in world record time," and winning for America for the first time in twelve years supremacy in the one hundred meter race.
And so the story runs. Perhaps never before in history has the athletic triumph of Negroes received such overwhelming acclaim as in the achievement of Tolan and Metcalfe.
Four Howard Medics Pass National Board
The distinction of being the first medical graduates of the School of Medicine of Howard University to pass the three examinations of the National Board of Medical Examiners belongs to Dr. Kathleen Jones-King, Dr. Howard M. Payne, Dr. Joseph A. Tulloh, and Dr. Lowell C. Wormily, all graduates of the class of 1931.
As a result of having passed Part III of the National Board Examinations these physicians become Diplomates of the National Board of Medical Examiners with the privilege of practicing medicine in practically any state in the United States.
Part I of this examination is taken at the completion of the first two years in the medical school, Part II after completion of four years in the medical school, and Part II after having served one year of internship in a hospital approved by the Council on Medical Education, Licensure and Hospitals of the American Medical Association.

Superintendent Cline promptly had Tommy taken to the occulist, and now with a pair of spectacles ordered he will be able to see his way around better, and on state occasions he will appear in a brand new suit of summer clothes with pockets and buckle to match. Which only goes to show that after all happiness and good fortune are relative terms. It all depends on your point of view.
The Health Camp now helping Tommy and his mates back to safety and security is made possible by the almost risk of Christmas scare.

Fifth Annual A.A.U. To Drew Aquatic Stars To Francis Swimming Pool
The date of the fifth annual water carnival and A.A.U. swimming championships has definitely been set for August 27, it was announced by Charles Drew, Francis Swimming Pools manager, this week. Allen Watty, manager of the Drudg Hill Park Pool, in Baltimore, has been over to serve warning that the Baltimore team intends to win this year, and take back their former high place in aquatic circles.
From New York comes word that the Y.M.C.A. team intends to improve on their brilliant exhibition of last year when they smashed four pool records and gave the Francis Pools senior men's teams its first licking in both relays. In addition, two other New York teams may come along to help the "Y" carry back some trophies to the old home town. The biggest news from New York, however, is that a girl's team from the Y.W.C.A. may compete for the first time.
This will add some glamor to the meet, for Miss Henrietta Brown, of Baltimore, the ace of her team, has added to the ability that has already made her famous by her work at the Sargent School of Physicl Education in Cambridge and has written her intention of leading a team against the best that other cities can offer. It should be a great battle between Miss Anise Boyer, of New York; Henrietta Brown, of Baltimore; and Connie Lucas, the diminutive star of the Francis team, with her team mate, Clark Bailey, last year's pentathlon winner.
Relay Stars to Meet
The meet will again bring together that crack quartet of Hanks, Williams, Drummond and Fisher, of New York; Mallory, Male, Carr and Harris, of Baltimore; Colburn, of Philadelphia, and Douglass, Wallace, Jackson and Petty, of the Francis team.
Real sport lovers should see fast packed action from start to finish of the 20 events. To see the seven-year-old relay team with its anchor man coming star, French Carter, is a treat that amuses and makes one marvel at their ability.
List of Events
The following will be the list of events: Men — 50-yard free style, 100-yard free style, 200-yard free style, 100-yard breast stroke, 100-yard back stroke, high board diving, springboard diving, 200-yard relay, modley relay.
Women — 50-yard free style, springboard diving, 200-yard relay, 50-yard breast stroke, 50-yard back stroke.
Boys under 16 — 50-yard free style, 200-yard relay. Under 12 — 50-yard free style.
Girls under 12 — 25-yard free style.
Receipt of entries will close at 6 p.m., August 25.

Now that competition in the Olympics has reached the peak and passed it, I want to comment on the meaning of these games as I see them. I don't believe that any artistic or educational production has meant as much to the hastening of the day of mono- Americanism as the influence of the colored athletes leading up to and during the games. The Olympic games were revived with the hope of creating a broader international and in- of the Negro race
has meant as much to the hastening of the day of mono - Ameri canism as the influence of the col ored athletes leading up to and during the games. The Olympic games were revived with the hope of creating a broader international and in of the Negro race Ed Henderson terracial sympathy, more tolerance and better understanding in addition to the physical values.
Despite the purely material aims of competitive America, races of men the globe over have used these games to gain racial and spiritual respect. The intermingling of the colorful array of international athletes in sport has done much to stir humanistic impulse in the direction of a better world.
Negro Athletes Acclaimed Far and above all, the tremendous surge of American colored athletes to the fore in track and field has been a most striking thing. It is a far cry from the hissing of the picture of the late lamented 440-forty-niner, John Taylor, of Penn, at the Convention Hall in Washington, D.C. on the showing of the picture of the Olympics in which he took part to the present acclaim given Eddie Tolan, Metcalfe and Gordon by the press from Coast to Coast. From the early days of last year when little Louise Stokes, of Boston, showed her dark heels to the fair runners there, until Tolan and Metcalfe began blasting the hopes of the best runners and of those made by Chambers of Commerce, there has been an avalanche of wonderful performances by colored performers.
I don't know when the New York Times has given first column prominence and headlines to a colored man for whatever feet or fames as
NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD
WEIR FAVORED TO RETAIN NET TITLE
New Doubles Combination Looms When A.T.A. Stars Play Monday
SCOTCH PLAINS, N.J.—With the Pennsylvania and the Midwestern opens relegated to past history, and the New York open now in hectic progress, attention of tennis fans the country over is being turned toward New Jersey. Monday morning will see the start of the sixteenth national championship of the American Tennis Association, and every leading player is either in this section or expected to appear at Shady Rest.
Weir is Favorite
Every past champion will be resent to defend the title hold, Reginald Weir will have stiff opposition from Douglass Turner, Nathaniel Jackson, and Thomas McCampbell, but he rules the favorite to repeat his last year's victory. The dope is even more heavily weighted in favor of Ora Washington, women's champ, to retain her title. Only Lulu Ballard, former three times champ, and Blanche Winston, runner up last year, are expected to offer serious opposition to this "demon in skirts" os one enthusiastic rooter termed her at Tuskegee last year.
New Doubles Combination
A new doubles combination appears on the scene to threaten the Jackson brothers' possession of the doubles title, Eyre Saitch, former singles and doubles champion, has teamed with Reginald Weir, and from their slashing progress heavy favorites to upset the present champions in the final round.
Many Social Events
With grand stand accommodations for 1,500 persons to view the finals, there is no question that this year's nationals will attract the largest audience in the history of Negro tennis to its finals and semifinals matches. The social events of the week will attract their usual quota of followers, but more than ever this year the Nationals promises to be a "players' tournament," in which attention is focused on the actual play produced on the courts.
Pimlico Forfeits
By failing to appear for a re return game at Anacostia the Pim lico Tigers forfeited a doubleheader to Anacostia last Sunday. Pleas ant Plains substituted.
it did to Eddie Tolan last week.
Dunbar Boy Stars
Although all the world knows the winners today faster than the hamlets of Greece did in the early Olympics, yet to me the most interesting feature to us should be the great rush of wonderful pre-Olympic athletes heralded all over the north and west of our nation. Among them were Jimmy Johnson, of Illinois; Cornelius Johnson, who won a fourth place after tying for first in the high jump; Nathaniel George, formerly of Dunbar in Washington; Ed Gordon, Ward, Brooks, Butler, and so many others. It occasioned Will Rogers in his wise-cracking to say that in the try-outs, to win was to be black. All these boys in the cities and towns of the nations were taking sound'whacks at the prejudices of people.
Where Democracy Really Is
Finally I am repeating a pet
opinion, that we as educators
and social workers should do what we
can to favor sports, and especially
track and field games. Dave
Houston often remarks, "There is
as much if not more democracy at
the ball yard ir. Washington than
anywhere else." I know he is right
when numbers are factors.
Ever since man slouched off his
tail, left his tree climbing brothers,
walked out into the fields, began
to run, throw, catch, and swim,
he has admired the speedy, the
strong, and the skillful.
As long as he is a man, he always will. As long as he is young in body and mind, he will have recourse to pleasures born of glands and muscles. White men thrill in kinetic recall and lose, temporarily at least, the prejudiced outlook acquired in the lifetime. Repeat the sense of pleasure often enough and much of the taught hatreds will loosen and fall off. Toppino, men of West Point or Annapolis will shake hands and compete in good spirit with Tolan and others of his ilk. There is much more along this line I should like to say as I have observed it, but time is fleeting, and the examination are near. Yet. I would close with a very optimistic prediction that in the not too distant future this same ill-considered athletic world is going to do much to level the crests of American prejudice. Along with Hayes and a Robeson give us more Metcalfes and Tolans.

Logan Net Star Captures Tennis Title For Second Year
Milton Robinson, of Logan Playground, and Thomas Jackson, of Cardozo, were crowned playground tennis champions in the senior and junior division tournament finals, respectively, at Howard Playground, Tuesday.
Robinson, Cardozo High School gridiron luminary, defeated Harry Jackson, of Cardozo Playground, in a closely contested match to retain his title captured last year. The scores were 6-3 and 6-4.
Jackson's teammate, "Tommy Jackson," (no relative of the first Jackson) easily defeated Edward Yearwood, of Howard Playground, for the junior title. In reaching the final round, Yearwood, member of Dunbar High School net team, defeated Martin Pree, last year's junior champion. However, Yearwood was no match for Jackson, Tuesday, as the Cardozo youth took the title in two straight sets, 6-1 and 6-1.
The junior match provided very little excitement as Yearwood tossed his own title away by repeatedly driving into the net and out of bounds. Jackson, the title winner, kept the youngster on the run, winning every game with the exception of the second game in the first set and the fourth game in the second set. Both of Yearwood's games were won on his serve.
The senior contest was more closely contested. Robinson took the lead and won the first set with a 6-3 count. After running up a 4-1 lead in games in the second set, Jackson's play became faulty and the long cardozo net lost five straight games to Robinson, who played more consistent and steady.
Winners of the titles will receive loving cups, while the runners-up will get medals.
Local Shoe Tossers To Meet Baltimore Squad
The Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A. horseshoe team will meet the Druid Hill Park aggregation on the "Y" courts, Saturday, at 1 p.m. This will be the third meeting of the two teams this year.

Saturday's meeting will be a round robin contest, total team points deciding the dual meet. The visitors, headed by the Baltimore champion, Charles Hall, will include in their line-up the following: Chase, Booze and Tillman. The Washington team will be made up of the following twirlers: Hyson ((Metropolitan champion), Thompson, Johnson, Greene, Blackwell, Tyler, Hargroves, Postell, Gaither and Haye.

He was at that time a leading member of the Postal Workers Union No. 1, and its delegate to the Chicago Federation of Labor, where he always fought jim-crowism and discrimination. The Chicago Postmaster, Arthur Leuder, insisted upon jim-crow teams in the league. Ford fought against it, organizing a strike which lasted one week. The Negro and white players, who stuck together, were victorious, and there were no jim-crow teams that year in Chicago. Two months later, Ford, because of his agitation against discrimination and the speed-up system, was fired from his job by the Postmaster.

ATTENTION MESSRS, DYKES AND McCOY
A. T. Robinson, a baseball fan, asks some important questions in reference to the Washington Pilots. Mr. Robinson who lives at 1010 S street, northwest, says he voices the opinion of many more baseball fans who like their ball in the approved fashion. I am passing his letter on to those whom it might concern and especially Messrs. Dykes and McCoy and others who are interested in baseball in this section of the woods.
To the Sport Editor:
Permit me to express my opinion regarding our entry in the East-West baseball league, the Pilots. (And incidentally this also happens to be the opinion of no few regular patrons of their games.)
Here in Washington, we who seek our sport diversion in baseball are fortunate in being able to see big league games. In fact, we have so accustomed ourselves to big league baseball that it is hard for us to appreciate any other brand. We have supported the team representing Washington in the big leagues through thick and thin. We go to see them in action regardless of whether they are in the thick of the pennant fight or in the cellar. We just love baseball. I dare say that 80 per cent of the fans in the right field pavilion at the Griffith Stadium when Washington is playing is colored, not to make any mention of those scattered throughout the grandstand and bleachers.
Now we have handed down to us a professional team representing Washington in the colored East-West League, the Pilots. I say professional because in the true meaning of the word, they are. The team is composed of some mighty fine ball players and at times play wonderful baseball. No fan expects them to win every game played, that is next to impossible. But we do expect them to hustle and try. We expect them to conduct their games and themselves as close to major league games and players as possible. They must do that here before we can appreciate them. They do not seem to have the same spirit about playing baseball that we are used to. At times they appear to actually dread the game, no life, no pep. Last Sunday's game is a concrete example of my point. Fans from all sections of the stadium crying: "wake up, get some life in you" etc.
It doesn't take but a very little of this "heads-down" baseball to keep the "died-in-the-wool" fans from going to see them, and after all its the cash customers that count. We could turn out to see them just as we do for the Washington team and we will if we could get nearly as much "kick" out of it. We have enough fans here to support any colored professional team if they would give us in exchange for our money a fairly good account of themselves.
If the management of this team would intermingle with the fans in the various stands, he would find that this opinion is no secret, but profoundly a consensus.
Give us appearance. Give us tact on the field. Give us a little bit of baseball and in return we will give you supporters at every game.

Young Ted Thompson dropped in to tell me this week that he is enroute to Cincinnati where he will bat balls in the Midwestern tennis tournament this week. Ted says he is out to stage his annual comeback and will teach young Reginald Weir and the other youngsters a thing or two about the game.
Ted has been teaching in Virginia, but I gather from his conversation that he will not return to the classroom this fall. Instead he will no doubt join the ranks of the fourth estate and will hold down a sport editor's desk on one of our outstanding newspapers. Ted has been writing often and on for some time and I am sure he will do credit to the profession. Like myself, Ted is rather disappointed with the local tennis club and is of the opinion that a little life would help Washington to gain some of its former popularity on the courts. More about that later.

Since this is the open season for comebacks I see by the papers that my old friend, Harry Wills has done that thing in New York. If Dempsey can inveigle the customers to come to see him paste a few of the boys from over the hill, I can't for the life of me see why Harry can't do the same thing.
If Jack and Harry mean business in their comeback and really want a few iron men to tide over this depression I would suggest that the two get together and settle an argument that started some years ago as to the better man between the two. I am sure such a fuss between these two war horses will attract a considerable of the faithful at this late day. I for one would pawn my other shirt in order to see the shingdin.
It appears that Harry bowled over one Vinko Jakasa, of Poland in a fraction of a first round affair at the Fort Hamilton Club in New York last Thursday night. Don't ask me who Jakasa is or for that matter any of the opponents Dempsey has been "stopping" of late.
THE SPIKED SHOE
By THE OBSERVER
Jake Dunn, Washington Pilot, scintillating short-fielder's dashing play has been one of the bright spots of the Pilots' play during their present home stay. Jake is fast taking his place among the great short fielders in the country. He is fast on his feet, a quick thinker and has a great throwing arm.
Webster McDonald has taken over the reins of the Pilots and is finishing out the year as Manager McDonald. He has pitched four games and won as many in the last seven days.
Little Willie O'Bryant, of the Pilots, has caught on with the local fans by his great fighting ability and hustle on the field.
Bill Evans, the 'Galloping Ghost' of the Pilots, has demonstrated his versatility by appearing in three different positions for the team. He has given a good account of himself in every position.
The Lincoln Ex-Giants have been organized and will play at the Polo Grounds in New York. Such stars as Hudspeth, Marcelle, Beckwith, Dudley and "County" Brown are on the roster.
"Long" Ted Trent had an unusual experience in a game played at St. Louis in which he allowed only two hits, but both were home runs. His opponent, Powell, allowed three hits; they were home runs. Trent won his game, 3 to 2.
Max "Cagey" Eggleston, veteran Pilot catcher, has become the utility man of the team. He takes a turn on the slab, plays outfield, catches and plays infield.
Grid Capt. Swings Pick and Shovel During Summer
PETERSBURG, Va.—Ray Harrison, Virginia State football captain-elect, is doing tricks with a pick and shovel this summer to keep in condition for the fall campaign and to enable him to continue his studies at school.
When questioned about prospects for the fall campaign, Ray was rather optimistic considering this depression psychology. He expects to see with two exceptions, all the undefeated varsity of last year right back at their positions. He said, "Of course it will be hard to replace 'Zip' Johnson and 'Red' Dabney, but with a veteran line and a number of exceptional backs needing only polish, we ought to really go places this fall."
About forty men will be asked to report early. Included in this number will be at least four stars from as many Virginia high schools( and Ray thinks that the veterans will have to step to land their old positions.
House Of David To Meet Crawfords Saturday
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Pittsburghers will have their first opportunity to see the favorite Crawfords cavort in a night game. The House of David aggregation will be their opponents, Saturday. This team, under the management of Grover Cleveland Alexander, carries its own lighting system.

CUBANS' WINNING STREAK IS HALTED
Eighth Inning Rally Gives Pilots Victory Over All Stars
The Washington Pilots stopped the winning streak of the Cuban All-Stars here Friday night at Griffith Stadium by an 8 t 7 decision.
The Cubans started a rally in the ninth that netted two runs, but were not able to push over another marker which would have tied the score. Heavy stick work featured the contest with the Stars getting 12 safeties off the offerings of Matlock and Trent, while Albertez was rapped for 10 bingles. Lopez hit a homer for the Cubans, while Dunn, Fabre and Suttles banged out triples.
Trent toed the mound for the Pilots in the ninth after Matlock had yielded 12 hits. A three-run rally in the eighth gave the Pilots the edge which was never overcome.

With the "Old Master," Talley Holmes, setting the pace, the Twelfth Street "Y" tennis squad defeated the Baltimore racketsers Saturday on the Howard University courts by a 9 to 6 count. This was the first victory for the Was hingtonians after two defeats and one tie match with the losers. Rivalry between the two cities is at a high pitch. Both groups are producing new talent as well as perfecting the play of the vets for the coming American Tennis Association National Championships at Shady
Tally Holmes
A. B.
Tally Helmes global challenger ships at Shady Rest next week. Plans are underway to send two men and two women to the tournament. Two representing each city is the scheme.
Saturday's matches were thrilling, the "Old Master" won undisputed praise as he gave a lesson to the Baltimore ace, "Babe" Jones in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. It was Talley all along, master stroking and placements kept the gallery on edge. The Reckling-Hope contest was a thriller throughout. Both players demonstrated brilliancy with Reckling gaining the edge. In defeating the youngster, W. Weaver, Oscar Murray played with perfection in the first set which he took by a love count. The ability to return anything coupled with determination on the part of Weaver defeated Murray for the second set at 6-3. With a deceiving chop and years of experience Murray romped to a victory in the deciding set, 6-4.
Spencer Forfeits
Sterling Brown, scheduled to meet Jack Spencer, who failed to appear, was matched with Dick Whittington and played a grand three set match that was the class of the dual meet. "Dutch" was in rare form and proved his caliber by winning the first set, 6-2. Whittington came back strong in the second set, dueling and capturing it with a strong service and attack. The deciding set was a corker. Both were in high spirit and it was anybody's fray from the start. It was another duce set with the brilliant play of the Baltimore star offset by the superbrilliant drives and deceptive returns of Brown that furnished the gallery with another Washington victory. Brown emerged victorious, 7-5.
In the ladies' singles Washington won a double victory. Miss Stewart defeated Miss Ford in straight sets, 6-1 and 6-4. The winner exhibited fine tennis in winning her match. The M. Peters-Bright affair was a battle from the start. At one point of the game Miss Bright was on set and match point but the torrid attack of Miss Peters carried the set to duce where her clean stroking and keen sense of anticipation won a deserving victory. The two squads are scheduled to meet again next Friday in Baltimore.

Holmes (W) defeated Jones, 6-3, 6-2; Carroll (B) defeated Terrell, 6-1, 6-2; Rockling (B) defeated Hope, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4; Moore (B) defeated Stillwell, 6-7, 6-1, 6-4; Murray (W) defeated W.

southern Championships to Be Played At Virginia State College
By TOM YOUNG
BY TOM YOUNG
PETERSBURG, Va.—For the
th time since 1925 the South-
western open tennis championships
will be played here August 22 to
, with Virginia State College as
ost.
The tournament this year comes
the week following the Nationals.
Shady Rest. Plans are under
way to have all the national cham-
ons and their chief contenders on
the beautiful Virginia State cam-
sels for the season's rebuttal of
annis supremacy.
Four new courts have been
added to the three already
constructed in order to provide ample
playing and practice facilities for
the large number of entrants expe-
tended. A covered grandstand has
been built behind the new playing
round.
Many Visitors Expected on-playing visitors is expected to spend the week at Petersburg. The entire housing facilities of the college will be thrown open to the tennis-minded public, including the three recently constructed dormitories.
Luther H. Foster, treasurer-business manager of Virginia State and general chairman of the tournament committee, stated that the customary low rates will be in effect for both players and visitors. Room and board, three meals a day—can be had for $1.25 a day for the entire week, or for $1.50 for less than six days. Meals will be served in the school cafeteria, and all visitors will be housed in dormitories near the courts.
Six Championships
Championships will be decided in men's singles in doubles, women's singles and doubles, mixed doubles and junior doubles. Play is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 22, at 1:30 p.m.
Virginia State College, where the now famous Southwesternes were first played eight years ago, is situated in the heart of the hospitable Old Dominion. For the entertainment of visitors a full schedule of social events has been arranged, including the famed "Forty-Love" dance for which a nationally known orchestra will furnish music.
Prizes
Silver loving cups will be awarded winners and runners-up in each of the six events. In addition, the men's and women's singles champions will get legs in six three-legged trophies which have been in competition since 1925.
Ted Thompson and Miss Ora Washington both have twice had their names engraved on these cups. They were at Petersburg last year to repeat them, but the finals were rained out. Miss Washington and Thompson have indicated their intention of trying again this year.

Tolan's Mother Takes In Washington To Keep Son In School
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Negro athletes of the United States contributed 30 points to the score of their country in the Olympic Games. They won three firsts, one second and one third place.
Eddie Tolan, of Michigan, was responsible for two first places in winning the 100-meter and 200-meter races. Edward Gordon won first place in the broad jump, and Ralph Metcalfe won second and third places in the 100-meter and 200-meter races, respectively.
First place winners count 10 points; second, 5 points; and third, 4 points. In the trials of the 100 meter Tolan had a record of 10.2 seconds. Gordon, who is from California, cleared 25 feet % inches in the broad jump. Sylvio Cator, of Haiti, who was considered one of the greatest threats in this event, was eliminated. Phil Edwards, of Canada, was third in the 1,500 meter run. The event was won by an Italian, Becali
Edwards, who was the most brilliant star of the Olympics and the most outstanding athlete, was sent to school by his mother, who helped him pay his way by taking in washing. Mrs. Thomas Tolan, who lives in Detroit, is mighty proud of her son, but she is still prouder of his determination to continue his studies and become a physician. Recently she has been sole provider for the family. She has worked hard—and happily—and her hope is to keep it up until her son can finish his scientific training in Germany. Mrs. Tolan was born in San Antonio, Texas, 55 years ago. Her father was born a slave and was a Union soldier in the Civil War. Her husband is a cook.
"It's worth it," she said of her toil. "If my men folk could only find jobs I could ease up a bit, and a mighty big worry would be off Eddie's mind." Mrs. Tolan sent her son a telegram before his great race. "I couldn't afford it," she said, "but I had to tell him not to worry his head off about my troubles."
CHOCOLATE GETS NOD OVER SHEA
Belt Given Cuban In Recognition Of Junior Light- Weight Title
CHICAGO, Ill.—Kid Chocolate, holder of varied and sundry boxing crowns, held on successfully to his junior lightweight diadem here on Thursday night when he beited Eddie Shea, white, of Chicago, all over the ring in a 10-round battle in the Chicago Stadium.
Although the Kid won the title sometime ago, it was officially recognized here when General John V. Clinin fastened a diamond-studded belt around the Kid's waist.
Shea, a game, dogged puncher, had little chance against Chocolate, who started in the second round to paste him with every blow in the catalogue. In the third a low left hook dropped Shea for a count of eight, and Chocolate, realizing his guilt, made no effort to land a blow for the remainder of the round.
Chocolate speeded up in the fourth and from there on Shea spent a good share of the time trying to find out where all the punches were coming from, and with little success. The Chicagoan rallied in the ninth, but his brief flurry failed to keep the decision of the referee and two judges from being unanimous. About 5,000 spectators watched the show, the Stadium's first in several months. UHimUlm-andU2a1

REDUCEDEXPENSES AT VA. SEMINARY ATTRACT STUDENTS
Evidently a large number of graduates of last June are impressed with the opportunity provided to attend college in these lean years at phenomenally small cost. The announcement of Virginia Seminary and College, located at Lynchburg, that the administration was cutting student expenses down to depression levels by reducing board and lodging to $12.75 a month, was greeted with an enormous increase in the number of applications from students.
President Johns states that the considerable faculty turn-over this year because of discontent of teachers who failed to receive prompt payment of salary makes it possible for the institution to employ much better prepared instructors at considerably smaller rates. This decrease in salary expense united with a general decrease in the cost of all types of merchandise creates the possibility of offering to students, hard hit by the depression, the benefit of acquiring learning at a small cost. From Columbia University alone four instructors holding the M. A. degree will be added to the Seminary faculty in the coming fall. These are Thomas H. Bembry, Theodore R. Kelly, Kenneth Eldridge, and Andrew Scott. Other professors with advanced degrees are being added, coming from Western Reserve and the University of Michigan.
Strenuous effort is being made to improve both the support of the institution and the quality of teaching. The large trustee board has been divided into small groups, and each group has been given the responsibility of maintaining some phase of the school's life in order that the president may devote more energy to putting into effect his educational policies. Friends of the school feel that the same insight and original thinking which keep President Johns in demand as a speaker in the leading educational institutions of the nation, will, if properly supported, make of the college at Lynchburg a pioneer in providing the race with an education that, gets somewhere.
One of the innovations at the beginning of the school year will be Orientation Week. This week there will be presented each evening a public lecture in which a professor will be asked to speak on the practical meaning of the subject to be handled by him during the first semester. In brief, the teacher must know his subject's reason for being and be able to impress the student with the same at the beginning of the course so that the classes may pursue their respective courses with a well defined purpose. On the opening of the term, September 26, the presidents of all the church conventions of the State are calling upon their constituents to meet them at Virginia Seminary with enough money to make the pilgrimage through the year, a certain, safe and pleasant. This also is something new.

EDWARD ROBINSON AT LINCOLN FRIDAY IN "TWO SECONDS"
EDWARD ROBINSON AT LINCOLN FRIDAY IN "TWO SECONDS"
For the first time in his screen career, Edward G. Robinson will be seen as a lover when his latest First National starring vehicle, "Two Seconds," will be flashed on the Lincoln Theatre screen today for its first showing.
Heretotore associated with either lawless or heartless characters, Robinson turns to the characterization of an ordinary human being who had more than his share of extraordinary trials and difficulties in his struggle to make his way in the world. As John Allen, hero of "Two Seconds," Robinson portrays a man who has been double-crossed by love and who despite all his efforts to save his honor, fails. Defeated at every turn, he finds himself in a thrilling climax of great dramatic intensity which is said to exceed in emotional power any of the star's past performances.
The large supporting cast features Preston Foster, who plays the same part he had in the Broadway production of "Two Seconds" Vivienne Osborne, stage and screen star, and Guy Kibbee. Important roles are portrayed by J. Carroll Naish, Adrienne Dore, Walter Walker, Burton Churchill, William Janney and Edward McWade. The players were specially selected with an eye toward the specific types they were called upon to play.
Lillian Cowan, Radio Star, On Lincoln Stage Entire Week

YOUR GARDEN AND YOU
YOUR GARDEN AND YOU
By MADISON COOPER
This department has been established to help you with your garden. If you have never made a garden, it will tell you how. If you have a garden it will help you to be a better gardener.
While the instructions and information which will appear in this department are largely prepared for the novice, the experienced gardener will pick up many valuable points and suggestions to help improve his methods and produce better results with less labor. Gardening is more than producing things from the soil, it is an experience, an adventure, and an education. Follow this department carefully from issue to issue and it may prove the best investment of time that you ever made.
The Elements of Gardening
A Suitable Soil.—All soils will not produce profitable or satisfactory crops. Indeed few soils will, except as they are properly made ready for the crop to be grown. If you are inexperienced it is best that you ask the advice and assistance of an experienced neighbor on the needs of your soil, and the best practical handling of the same. In addition to this, you should study all the literature you have available on crop production, soils, and on horticulture generally.
Preparation of the Soil.—The first operation in the preparation of a soil for any is plowing, or spading;—blowing where the area is large enough to warrant it, and spading by hand on small areas. Depth of tillage is importance. Care should be used in plowing a sandy soil not to plow or spade too deep. If soil is plowed by horse power it may be harrowed by the same means. If ground is spaded it can be raked level by hand in preparation of the planting of seeds, bulbs, etc. If the soil is inclined to bake after rains it is important that it should be made fine on the surface before seeds or any sort of a crop is planted. Plowing or spading may well be done in the fall of the year, just before freezing weather comes, as the action of the frost on the loosened
soil is very desirable and besides your garden is ready for quicker action in the spring for the production of early crops. Planting.-The novice gardener should begin with the easiest grown crops, such as beans, corn, potatoes, and the easily-grown things which are grown from purchased plants like tomatoes and cabbage. Seeds of the common garden vegetables may also be sown.
Use some sort of a lime (any kind of a string or twine will answer, but preferably a good-sized cord, so that it may be stretched tightly). Use some sort of a line in all planting. It will save time and economize space. Do not plant by guess. Care is necessary in setting out plants that they be set the right depth, and that they be firmed into the soil. Leave the ground reasonably level, or perhaps a slight depression around the plants for watering, if weather conditions require it.
Cultivation.—If a line has been used in planting, cultivation is much easier, and a wheel-hoe is the best implement to use, if one is available. It is not a very expensive tool and about four times as much work can be done with a wheel-hoe with the same expenditure of effort, as with the old-fashioned hoc. Wheel-hoes come with various attachments for different purposes, but the blade, or cutter, and the rake, are the two most in use. Other attachments are for opening furrows which is useful when setting plants, or for the planting of such crops as corn and potatoes. (A hand hoe is of course a necessity in any garden.) Flat cultivation is desirable in the garden. The old-fashioned idea of hilling-up has been demonstrated a fallacy and wasted labor, as applied to most crops. Flat cultivation<sup>1</sup> is not only easier for the gardener, but better for the crop.
Do not wait until weeds appear before you cultivate. Cultivate after every rain so as to break the caked soil and conserve moisture, as well as to kill weeds before they actually start growing. An ordinary garden rake is very desirable for use in cultivation, at some stages of growth.
The above four primary lessons in gardening are not especially timely, but should be filed for future reference, and studied before the opening of another gardening season.
Look for fruther installments in the nature of discussions of things to be grown and the details of handling same; the recommendation of varieties, etc.

Dear Fathead: Massage them regularly, with potomac salve; use it every day instead of only on Saturdays.
Heard from the Misses Marie Barber and Lillian Green from old Asbury Fark, N.J. They plan to spend the winter in dear old New York. We wonder what Robert Barnes will do for a roost this winter, and also how will the Bluebird Orchestra get along without their cornet player, Glody, child.
Mr. James Coates is inviting you all to the Stopin Club if you are looking for a stomping good time. Mr. Chols was there with a party, and the only trouble was that the night was too short. And did we have a good time? Dear brother, we sure did.
A cat's tail is so long because it's fur to the end; but if you cut it off then it won't be so fur.
Dear Mr. Lee: Dear brother, don't make the Good Bill Baldwin have to call you on the phone. Be there on time, son.
Dear Mr. Chols: Is it nice for a girl to kiss strange men? It is everything but nice for a girl to kiss strange men; you should wait until they get familiar with you.
Dear Mr. Chols: Do you drink liquor? No, son, Mr. Chols does not drink; he wants to live until good liquor comes back.
DID YOU KNOW THAT: You should forgive every man's faults but not your own; good wine needs no orier; good fortune comes to him who makes her welcome; hasty climbers have sudden falls; money is a good servant but a bad master; to be hungry, no bread is bad; the best mirow is an old friend; few persons know how to be old; and that if Jack is in love he is no judge of Jill's beauty; it is an ill dog that is not worth the whistle; the taste of the chicken is better than the smell; and Mr. Chols is smelling chickling right now, and also Battle Axe is calling me to get some. Dear Stupid, I'll be seeing you. Coming, honey!!

Yankees And Crawfords To Begin Eight-Game Series
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Opening up in Pittsburgh, August 5, the New York Black Yankees and the Pittsburgh Crawfords began their fued in an eight-game series. Four games will be played in Canton, Akron, and Harrisburg, and four in Pittsburgh.
What is considered the most important of the series is the game for the benefit of Trinity Church.
The Yanks hold a two-game lead over Crawfords, but the Pittsburghers have had a winning streak since the last meeting and will be out to wipe off the two-game spot.
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—The New York Black Yankees and the Pittsburgh Crawfords added further interest to their rivalry when they deadlocked. Friday, 3-3.
Home runs by Dixon and Satchell brought Crawfords from behind to even the score. Darkness halted the game after ten innings.
Hudlin Wins Singles
Title In Midwest Play
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.—Rich aid Hudlin, of St. Louis, defeated Charles Graham, Oklahoma State champion, in the men's singles finals of the midwest tournament last Saturday. The scores were 6-2, 6-1, 12-10.
Hudlin, rated No. 5 nationally and former captain of the University of Chicago tennis team, lost last year to Graham at Kansas City, but succeeded in turning the tables last week. Playing a powerful base line game in a cool, deliberate manner and fairly cannon-ading his drives at the left handed Tulsa star, Hudlin quickly ran out the first two sets, 6-2, 6-1.
In the doubles play Sheppard and Bell defeated Hudlin and Summers, 13-11, 6-2, 6-4.

The Negro Press On The Olympic Oath and The Negro's Success
THE OLYMPIC OATH
Again Georgia pays the price of prejudice. Ralph Metcalfe, born in Atlanta, Ga., would never have been given the chance to have shown his physical prowess in the Olympic games had he remained in Georgia. It remained for the liberalism of Michigan and the North to find a world conquerer of the one hundred meter cinder path. It would be a fine thing for the State of Georgia and all of America's Congo, were there accepted in this backward section of the United States the Olympic oath. We do not know whether you have read the solemn pledge taken by each one of the athletes from thirty-nine nations:
"We swear that we will take part in these games as loyal competitors, respectful of the rules that govern them, and that our desire is to play our part in a spirit of chivalry for the honor of our countries and the glory of sport."
Suppose you were to wake up in the morning and find that such an oath had been taken in America with reference to the entire scheme of existence. Suppose in the every day game of work you met loyal competitors who were respectful of the Golden Rule, and willing to work by your side for honor, justice and peace.
Such an oath extended to every day existence would break down the prejudiced bars in labor unions. It would challenge white chambers of commerce which asks contractors not to give Negroes work. It would stop the mob and break down segregation and Jim Crow.
"Loyal competitors" would have no hate. There would be no unfair restraints placed in the path of merit. The Negro professional man, business man and artisan would all be accepted for their intrinsic value. Color would become a mere incident instead of a badge of social ostracism. In such an atmosphere America would reclaim priceless pearls of manhood. How many Eddie Tolans are there down in Dixie, who never a chance because of their color, but who among loyal chivalrous competitors would bring honor to their state and nation along every front of civilization and culture?
Lack of respect for the Golden Rule bars the Negro from education. Few Negroes "break the tape" in the realm of letters or perform the high jump in finance because Ameireca bars the way with petty prejudices. How much is America losing in the sum total of progress because of this lack of courtesy, kindness and fairness? Let us hope that the Olympic oath and the spirit of fairness will have resonance and sweep out into the economic world. The tenth Olympiad at Los Angeles has set a high mark in the realm of brotherhood.
OUR OLYMPIC ATHLETES
(Boston Chronicle)
The achievements of Tolan, Metcalfe, Gordon and other Negro athletes at the Olympic games now being conducted at Los Angeles, Cal., bring a glow of pride to Negroes of the United States especially, and without doubt, to many Negroes elsewhere.
The treatment of Negro athletes from the United States at former Olympics by their white countrymen and coaches, has been disreputable, and in many instances, it led to lack of interest by the Negro athlete. Anyhow, it is not our purpose now to recite a list of the indignities which were heaped upon the Negro athletes. We are here to extol the achievements of these young men who have performed so nobly to hold up the prestige of our country.
Gradually the United States must come to recognize the worth of all its citizens and develop talent wherever it is discovered. No one strata of life contains the best material for the development of this country. Amnog poor and rich, black and white can be found persons who, if given the facilities and training in all fields of attainment, will add lustre to the country. Myopic policies and rank prejudices have always militated against nations who have perished owing to the attempt of their lead-
ers to suppress the talent of its country. Negroes may yet be seen competing in other fields of sport—tennis, baseball, especially the latter—from which competent Negro players have been barred. In the meantime we are happy that Tolan, Metcalfe, Gordon, and the others nobly upheld the prowess of the United States.
EDDIE TOLAN
(Detroit Independent)
White America, the State of Michigan, the City of Detroit, and especially the colored people of the country and the City of Detroit have been made to feel proud of Eddie Tolan, the "World's Fastest Human." This singular honor for the first time in twelve years has been achieved by an American in the field of world athletics. Incidentally it was left for the son of an humble, but honest and ambitious, washerwoman to accomplish this singular feat.
The press generally and the white citizens of Detroit have been very enthusiastic and liberal in their expressions for our honored citizen on the occasion of this achievement. The colored citizens of Detroit have been free in their expressions of appreciation toward the Detroit Free Press for the excellent front page set-up of Tolan's achievements. The University of Michigan is justly proud of the success of one of its sons in this world honor. Mayor Murphy has fittingly appointed Judge Charles Bartlett to head the citizen's committee to receive Eddie Tolan on his home coming.
TOLAN, METCALFE 'AND
GORDON.
(Cambridge Eagle)
The prowess of these three monarchs of the athletic field will go down in history for all time as perhaps the most astounding performances in the field of athletics in this or any other age. They have held up the colors for the U.S.A., in such fashion that as a result, race prejudice will get a real set back.
It is strange too, that this situation or prejudice exists in the very country which is the beneficiary of their prowess, a hundred fold more than any other competing countries.
This, therefore, brings to mind the fact that prophecy is being fulfilled, for truly it has been said that in due time all wrongs will be righted and man will be just to his fellowman.
Tolan, Metcalfe and Gordon, with their God-given physiques and courage, are the true harbengers of peace on earth and good will to all mankind. Fleet and swiftly as they shatter world's records, likewise do their success strengthen the hearts of mankind and kindle therein a sentiment which is good and pure.
THUNDERBOLTS
The thrill is ours!! Our boys won the feature event of the Olympic games, running one-two in the 100-meter dash! We knew they could and would! Life offers the Negro few outlets, so few that Tolan and Metcalfe were certain to make the most of their chance to have a part in the Olympic games! Here in the Valley where colleges are for them ost part state maintained, the custom has grown up of keeping Negroes out of competition in athletics. Somehow or other "white supremacy" is to be kept by by that means. A Negro doing in athletics what others do is treated as a threat to the sacred principle. As a result Nebraska, Kansas, and the others see our superb track material winning laurels for Michigan and Marquette.
If the doors of the factory were to swing open for Tolan and Metcalfe as the Olympic athletic field, they might make good there too. But alas! That is not to be! Another idol of American public would be exposed to cold scrutiny. Negroes are not good, they say. Then to prove it, they refuse them a trial. Wonderful logic! Some of these days we will feel our souls uplifted by victories in other fields of endeavor, just as our thunderbolts have made us happy now. God give us patience!
THE TOLAN-METCALFE-GOR
DON LESSON
. (San Antonio Register)
(Gal Antonio Register)
Eddie Tolan, of Denver, Colo., and Ralph Metcalfe, of Atlanta, Ga., two young Negro men have crowned their race with more glory and their native country with some Olympic honors it has sought for 12 years to no avail.
The fact that at 100 and 200 meters they are the fastest, graceful humans in the world, gives us some degree of pleasure. But the fact that they are clean, well mannered sportsmen, forward looking students, and young men of ambition and character, well equipped to represent the fine race with which they are identified, and they receive their encomiums with such grace, is pleasant to all of us.
Press reporters have heralded their accomplishments into every nook and corner of the globe. That's great! Fame and power are always acceptable to humans. However, instead of movie contracts,
or vaudeville stunts, or "lolly-gagging" around on their laurels, we understand that Tolan, 23, graduate of the University of Michigan, is seeking his Master's degree at West Virginia State College, preparatory to studying medicine or dentistry; and Metcalf, 22, of Marquette University, is taking a pre-law course, making ready for the legal profession.
The race to which they belong needs them badly in both fields. May they work as hard to surpass in the race of life in their chosen "lanes" as they have to be immortalized in the annals of Olympics, and take their places for the things for which they qualify.
And may the Negroes of America know that Tolan nor Metcalfe were born runners, neither was Ed Gordon, another Negro Olympic title holder for the broad jump, a born jumper. These men obtained their prowess and success from training (physical and mental), clean living, and keeping everlastingly at it. Get it over to your children that power comes from within. If they develop mind and body, live clean and "run the course well," well, they, too, can succeed.
Tolan, Mtcalfe, Gordon, and in fact all Negroes who win in sports, education, business or everyday life do so not without obstacles, but in spite of them.
TOLAN AND TOLERANCE
The great Olympics are holding forth at Los Angeles. Athletes from all over the world are gathered to participate in the various events. The whole world is represented.
It is easy to assume that more than five thousand athletes have competed for the honor of being named a candidate for the finals. Men and women all over the world have done their best in order to qualify for the greatest event known to modern sportdom. It was an honor to be included among the preliminaries. It is a much greater honor to be counted among those who have entered the finals.
The test is one of physical and mental prowess. The body must be brought under subjection by long and rigorous training. The mind must be taught to coordinate and the nervous system must be subjected to a complete co-operation. To be fit for the Olympics is the last word in physical preparation. There are men today in that great stadium at Los Angeles who have devoted months and months to preparation, and there are thousands who were denied the privilege of participation because they were not fit
Someone has said that the cinder path separates the contestant from his friends. They may wish him success, but wishing alone is futile. Success comes to the man or woman best prepared for the crucial moment. All preparation, all anxiety, all concentration of past months must culminate the starter's pistol, and the next few seconds spell success or failure for those competing.
From all over the world, representatives of all races have come to stand before the starter's gun. And they stand with no badge of superiority, with no preference shown, with no handicaps imposed—and they stand, every man equal to every other man until the winner breasts the tape at the finish.
The Olympics offer the opportunity and nothing more. This is all any man or woman should want in this life. He who seeks more than an opportunity is likely to be a cheater. And he who denies any man his full opportunity is a cheater. The Olympics invite every man, and the color of his skin neither fits him nor unfits him to participate. Perhaps the highest note in tolerance is struck at the Olympics. Eddie Tolan, the diminutive American Negro, outstripped all competitors under the flag of tolerance and opportunity. He won for two reasons: he was fit, and he was given his chance.
The Olympics ought to furnish a beautiful lesson for some portions of the world, and more particularly some portions of our own country in tolerance. We have in this country men and women who, if they could, would eliminate Tolan because he is black. But these men and women have no tolerance. Perhaps the victory of Tolan will teach, as nothing else has, a lasting lesson in true tolerance.

The game between the LeDroit Tigers and the Hillsdales ended 5-all, after nine innings of excitement. The game was filled with both good and bad baseball.

the 'Dales, who had the Tigers at his mercy.
Reds outlasted his rival two innings, going to the showers in the third to allow Jodie Wheeler to toe the slab. The 'Dales treated the offerings of the spit ball artist rough, but bad base running and lack of headwork cost the 'Dales the game. Reds Wooden, of the 'Dales was the batting hero, while Hansborough, in left field for the Tigers, was the fielding star.
Smith Heat Victim
The relief pitching of both Frazier and Wheeler stood out. Capt. Cleo Smith succumbed to heat in the tenth inning after the Tigers had scored one run in their half of the tenth and because the Tigers didn't have enough players in uniform to replace him, it cost them the game. Umpire Kemp called the game and the score reversed back to even innings, causing the game to be deadlocked 5-all. The same teams will play this game over Saturday, August 27, in the

**Huntsville Outslugs DePriest**
The Huntsville Club outslugged the young DePriest Club to win the game by the score of 16-13. The game was full of home runs, the northeast lads making three, while the Marylanders garnered two. Gross, of the northeasterns got a round trip, with three on; Mavorite and J. Barnes, also of the DePriest, chased two in ahead of them, while Crump, of the Maryland knocked in one ahead of him. "Stretch" Jefferies got his with the bases clear.
Crump and Jefferies led both clubs with the bat the latter getting four hits out of five trips to the plate, and the former garnering five hits out of six times at bat. Colbert showed up the best in the field. On several occasions his fast fielding brought the fans to their feet and he proved what the writer stated earlier in the season, that this lad would prove the sensation of the league.
The first forfeits of the season occurred when the Washington Giants failed to appear in Halls Hill, Va., to play the White Sox and the Rajahs didn't appear against the DePreist lads in the first game.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1932
WOMEN LEADERS DEMAND SCALPS OF 11 BISHOPS
Chicago—Women leaders here through their Common Sense Committee urged the elimination of 11 bishops and other sweeping reductions in the affairs of the A.M.E. Church.
The group urged that the 14 bishops resign and three new ones be elected to do the same work. They also declared for a drastic reduction in the $300,000 in salaries the 14 bishops draw the level of $50,000. They also asked an extraordinary session of the General Conference be called to make readjustments.
The document is in the form of an open letter addressed to the bishops and annual conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church is one of the most reformatory movements in the history of the church.
The committee urged that an investigation be made of the certain interest on the church funds, which are reported not to have been turned over properly and that a certified accountant should be se to Washington to examine the books. It was further suggested that the editor of the Christian Recorder should also get out of the A.M.E. Review.

FAIRFAX FARMS DAIRY SPONSORS MICKEY CLUB
Manager Clark of Lincoln Theatre To Conduct Project For Kiddies
The first Mickey Mouse Club, conducted as a recreational project for Negro boys and girls, is being started in Washington by the Fairfax Farms Dairy, working in conjunction with the Lincoln Theatre. There have been many Mickey Mouse Clubs in the country, but never before have these units included Negro children. The purpose of the club is to encourage the drinking of milk by the children, while offering them many inducements to keep them interested. The Lincoln Theatre will provide most of the entertainment enjoyed by the children at their club meetings in the theatre. Unique Plans Club plans are simple but unique. The Fairfax Farms Dairy affixes a Mickey Mouse Club application for membership to each bottle of milk it places in the stores or delivers to the homes of its customers.
This application for membership entitles the child to free admission to the Lincoln Theatre Saturday morning, August 20, at 10 o'clock, at which time the Mickey Mouse Club will be officially organized. Special club privileges will be explained at a later date through this paper and by Manager Clark at the theatre.

Alabama Citizens To Have Cooperative Filling Station
MOBILE, Ala.-At a conference here last Friday evening, between the local council of the Young Negroes' Cooperative League and George S. Schuyler, national president, plans were made for the starting of a cooperative gasoline-filling-station-garage.
That such a project would fill a definite need is not to be denied. For despite the fact that there are some 400 Negro car-owners in the immediate vicinity, there is not a single Negro garage. As pointed out by Mr. Schuyler, a garage will involve less risk than a grocery store, which the council had planned to promote, but will serve to render the community cooperatively minded and lay the ground work for more imposing enterprises.

Mississippi Colored Citizens Seek Share Of Work Under Government Contract
In an effort to secure to the colored citizens of Jackson, Miss., their pro rata share of employment under the contract of the federal government about to be let for the erection of a Post Office Building in that city, at a meeting held on July 22 resolutions were adopted and forwarded to President Hoover, Ogden L. Mills, Secretary of the Treasury and Postmaster-General Walter H. Brown. This was made public here today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The resolutions point out that practically all the jobs in Jackson once held by Negroes have been given to whites; that. Negroes comprise more than half the population of the state; and that half of the soldiers sent from Mississippi to the World War were Negroes; that "therefore, we, the unemployed Negroes of Jackson and Mississippi, in mass meeting as embed, do hereby petition President Herbert Hoover, the Honorable Ogden L. Mills, Secretary of the Treasury, and Postmaster-General Walter H. Brown to have stipulated in the contract to build said Post Office Building and all contracts to do public work in which the government furnishes the money or a part thereof; that the colored man shall be given his pro rata share of the work on said jobs according to the Negro population of the state in which the work is to be done."

RICHMOND TO ASK $2,000,000 FOR NEGRO HOUSING
RICHMOND, Va. (CNS)—Plans for the formation of a corporation to finance a $2,000,000 model housing project for Negroes with funds made available by the recently enacted Federal emergency relief and construction bill, are now being worked out by the Negro Housing Committee of the Chamber of Commerce.
Several months ago the Chamber of Commerce set the improvement of the living conditions among Negroes as one of its primary objectives for the year. The committee on Negro housing, appointed to investigate the situation has made a careful survey of the Negro housing problem in Richmond, but their plans for improvement of conditions were not feasible because of lack of funds.
Now that the Federal government has made money available, hope for inaugurating a comprehensive program has been revived. A corporation will be formed to borrow the money and supervise its use. In event the plan is carried out, it will afford employment for a large group of workers.
Arrested For First Time
Arrested on a charge of petit larceny in connection with the theft of a newspaper, William Swopes, 80, appeared in court for the first time in his life.

Judge Givens took his personal bond.

BAR ASSOCIATION AND N.A.A.C.P. MAY COOPERATE
Walter White Presents Basis For Cooperative Efforts For Both Associations
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Specific items for joint action by the National Bar Association and the N. A.A.C.P. were presented at the eighth annual convention of the Bar Association meeting here by Walter White, secretary of the N. A.A.C.P., today.
Among the projects on which the two organizations could profitably co-operate were the carrying out of the comprehensive campaign for a frontal attack upon disfranchisement, jim crow cars, unequal apportionment of school funds, discrimination in employment, as contemplated in the appropriation which has been voted the N.A.A.C. P.B. by the American Fund for Public Service; affiliation of lawyers with the legal committees of local branches of the N.A.A.C.P. and stimulation of these branches to maximum efficiency; joint action for the election of Negro judges, including magistrates, recorders, masters in chancery, and on up to the higher courts, this being now more possible than ever before because of the Negro's new political power; the organization of forums and of legal aid bureaus to enlighten Negroes as to their rights under the law and how to attain those rights; ad to property holders who during the depression are in danger of losing savings of a lifetime through lack of knowledge of the law and because of inability to pay for legal advice; enforcement of the civil rights acts of the various States, and the passage of adequate civil rights acts with teeth in them where there are none, doing so with the aid of Jews, Catholics and other minority groups; joint action in drafting, introduction and passage of State laws to prohibit discrimination against Negroes in employment by public utilities corporations.
In making these recommendations Mr. White told of the successful efforts of the National Bar Association and the N.A.A.C.P. in jointly working for the right of Negroes to employment on the Hoover Daw at Boulder City, Colorado. Mr. White paid high tribute to the efforts of the Bar Association to raise the ethical and professional standards of the Negro legal profession.
"The Negro legal profession must weed out of its ranks incompetent, unscrutulous and slothful lawyers who are the greatest hindrance to the Negro legal profession," Mr. White asserted. "Negro lawyers complain that Negro clients won't patronize them and that they go instead to white lawyers. This is due, of course, in a measure of prejudice, but we must not blink the fact that it is also due to the type of Negro lawyer who looks at cases only in terms of fees to be earned and who are lacking in diligence and faithfulness to their clients."
Mr. White also paid tribute to Jesse S. Hesilp, president of the National Bar Association; Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard University law school; Mr. Louis L. Redding, of Wilmington, Del; and Mr. N. J. Frederick, of Columbia, S.C., who have recently accepted invitations to serve on the National Legal Committee of the N.A. A.C.P:
Negro Will Talk Over Nation Wide Hook-Up
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—Announcement has just been made that T. M. Campbell, field agent for the Department of Agriculture has been invited by Dr. C. B. Smith, assistant director of Extensional Service to make a radio address over a nation wide hook-up September 21, 1932.
The speech $ ^{h} $ will be on the program of the Land Grant Colleges and Universities in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture. It will be broadcast over the associated stations of the National Broadcasting Company from the studios in Washington, D.C. The subject will be. "Carrying the School to the Farmer."
Besides Mr. Campbell's talk there has been time allotted for the radio appearance of a 4-H club member from Mr. Campbell's territory. The 4-H Club is an organization of junior farmers organized under the direction of the Federal Department of Agriculture. Tests are being held now to determine which boy or girl club member will have the privilege of making the trip to Washington and speaking to the country. The Junior club member will speak on the subject of "What my club has meant for me." Mr. Campbell is the field representative for Negro farmers for the territory of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas. He is one of the best trained men in the country in the field of agriculture and is an authority on all phases of the Negro and agriculture.
Negroes throughout the country welcome the fact that a Negro will be given recognition and allowed time over a national broadcast of this importance. This is possibly the best time a Negro has talked on the subject of education and education and
J. R. FLETCHER NOT ARMED WHEN AGENT WAS SHOT
Says Two Had Returned From Church When Jackson Was Fattally Wounded
According to information reaching the Tribune this week, James R. Fletcher, narcotic inspector in the Federal Service, did not assist Eugene Jackson, prohibition agent, in making an arrest of a bootlegger in Chicago, July 31, during which arrest Agent Jackson was shot to death by the rum runner.
The information that Fletcher had a gun when Agent Jackson was shot came to the Tribune through a news service, and was alleged to have been a statement by Mrs. Eugene Jackson, widow of the dead agent.
It has been pointed out that Fletcher was not with Jackson in an official capacity at the time of Jackson's death. The Narcotic Bureau being independent of the Prohibition Bureau, it is not customary for a narcotic officer to involve himself in a prohibition case any more than an ordinary citizen. It was said Jackson was aware of this fact and telephoned for other prohibition agents to come to his assistance while he was waiting for the return of the bootleger with the liquor.
The other agents arrived, however, they were too late to assist in the arrest of the bootlegger upon his arrival with the liquor. Fletcher stated that he had no word with the bootlegger nor took any part with Jackson in making the liquor deal with the bootlegger, and due to the fact that, it was Sunday and he and Jackson had just left church, neither were armed.

Plotted to Get Kennedy
According to statements given members of the homicide squad, the three principals involved in the death of Kennedy and other members of the gand had plotted to "get" Kennedy as he was said to be "too smart." Earlier in the day the officer had arrested two members of the gang on disorderly conduct charges.
Jackson, who is said to be the ring-leader, is alleged to have planned with other members to give Kennedy a good heating. The plot was to have Kennedy arrest one of the gang and when he had placed the man under arrest other members were to come to his rescue and free the prisoner and beat Kennedy.
Statements by the three accused men bore out the general plan. The officer who was assigned to Logan Circle made his rounds about 11 p.m., but the gang members did not get the opportunity to put their plan into operation at this time.
Threw Brick at Car
About midnight when the officer made his final rounds before going off duty he came to the circle and engaged in conversation with William Campbell, 1154 Nineteenth street, and James A. Allen, 458 P street. Both men testified that the officer discussed his vacation plans with them and left to go home. As he started off in his car the two men said they saw Jackson throw a stone or brick at the policeman's automobile. The missile failed to strike the car, but it attracted the officer's attention.
He-parked his machine near the circle and came back into the circle on foot, Campbell and Allen said Kennedy approached them and asked who threw the brick. They pointed out Jackson. Kennedy then went to Jackson and asked him did he (Jackson) throw the brick. The man is said to have replied, "You didn't see me throw a brick, did you?" At this Kennedy placed Jackson under arrest and was taking him to a patrol box. The gang followed.
Officer Knocked Out
Jackson is said to have resisted and maneuvered the officer near a tree, where Irving Murray had hidden a brick. Murray was then seen by Allen and Campbell to sneak behind the tree, secure the brick, and hit Kennedy across the head. The blow knocked the officer to the ground unconscious. Holmes is then said to have grabbed the policeman's night stick and beat him five or six times across the face while the officer was on the ground. Jackson denied striking the officer, but said he fled after the first blow was struck by Murray. Other members of the gang denied taking part in the attack. Murray is then said to have gone to the home of his brother, Alphonso Murray, at Hamilton, Va., where he was arrested. It was here that Kennedy's service revolver was found and a pair of brass knuckles.

night of the attack, but did not take part in the beating of the policeman. He identified Jackson as the man who threw the brick at Kennedy's car. Lillian Brown, 19, 1726 Tenth street, a girl friend of Jackson's, said she had a date with Jackson in the circle that night and tried to get him to go home with her. She testified that he refused. She also stated that Jackson and other members of the gang "looked suspicious" when Kennedy came into
the circle. She left before the attack. Luna Walker, 1721 U street, said she went to the circle with Miss Brown and left with her. Planned to Get Officer Members of the "Circle Gang" claimed that Kennedy had been "picking on" members of the outfit and at one time struck one with his stick and kicked another.

SOCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Society during the past week continued to remain dormant as is its wont during the summer months. With but a few exceptions, the days passed quite uneventually. The week's monotony was broken by the delightful bridge party given by Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Dudley, the party given in honor of Miss Aida Ward and the courtesies extended the Misses Rodriquez of Porto Rico. But with the coming of the National Medical Association to the Capital next week, things are beginning to look a little brighter for a few days at least.
Further plans for the holding of the novelty attraction to be known as the "Trip Around the World" August 19, were made by officers and members of the Southwest Welfare Association in a meeting last Thursday.

ON HOOVER'S CONTEMPLATED DEFENSE
Editor, Tribune:
Hoover plans a defense of his action against the American Veterans of the World War. The man who was called 'The Great Humanitarian,' the man who directed wartime relief, the man who led operations to feed and house the starved and homeless over all earth, seeks to exonerate himself for his drastic step against his own blood.
Just across the river, rising in solemn and majestic grandeur is the monument to the Unknown Soldier, symbolic of all who fought. Maybe he who sleeps there marched with the same men who were put to the torch. To them who gather at his tomb to pay homage, might not his spirit whisper, "Go—go hence. Endure this farce no more. Draw round about this, my sepulchre, black robes of shame. Let not the light of day again strike high upon my narrow space until this sin has been atoned."
Here, in our own beautiful Washington, rises the memorial to 'The Great Emancipator', the man who freed a bonded people, and gave release to soldiers who in time of war, lost strength, and slumbered at their posts. Can Hoover gain his pardon?
'Over there,' in France—in Belgium—in Flander's close-bound by dirt, in ground their blood did consecrate. They gave their all and passed beyond our care. Can Hoover gain their pardon?
In far off countries, now roam some who charged against the Stars and Stripes, but that was war, and this is peace. Can Hoover gain their pardon?
And while you sit and read, wherever man on earth plants feet, nations meet and they decry to Heaven, this, a nation's gratitude. What do they say?
Over these broad United States, walk idle thousands, and to their woes they add the plight of yesterday's heroes. What do they say?
And you, who go your way to strive to earn a livelihood, your mind forms, what opinion?
From up about, from out beyond the stars, God, in His own good time, passes wisdom on to man. With Him alone, is vested power to forgive man's brutality to man.

Owners of cars are independent, they go when and where they like.
Among the quests registered for this week we note the names of Mrs. J. G. Thornton and her two charming daughters, Miss F. E. Thornton who graduated at Howard a few years ago and her young sister Ida May. This is the family of Dr. J. G. Thornton, of Little Rock, Ark. They are motoring and have been for the past three weeks; that sounds tempting doesn't it?
There was quite a little flurry in the Stock Exchange so we saw by the papers last week. Also a considerable "flutter" when a number of calls came from the Unemployment Relief Bureau offering work. Both were good news; may this continue is the ardent wish of many.
At the building "we" are still carrying on—every other Tuesday there is an interesting talk on "Timely Topics" at 8 p.m. Friday, August 12, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m., Miss Daisy Young will have charge of the Community Sing. This is one way we have of filling in the leisure hours with inspiration—come over and help us. Other summer activities for girls are games and handwork from 3 to 5 p.m. daily.
The Garden Festival, Tuesday, August 16 from 8 to 11 p.m. promises to be a pretty affair. It will be held on the spacious lawn of the "Y". Of great interest is the Fashion Show at 9:30 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for the most attractive cotton costume. Miss A. E. Bell and her active Emergency Committee are arranging the affair.
JUST THIS AND THAT
By Dutton Ferguson
Tuned in to her Chicago's Terrace Garden's Orchestra the other night. When it came time for the announcer to give the name of the next selection, he said, "Here's a piece that must have been composed by someone who never learned to use the dictionary." The piece so announced happened to be Mercer Cook's "It's in Love I is." Mercer Cook is a Phi Beta Kappa Honor Graduate from Amherst College, Mass., where he received his A.B. Degree in 1925. He graduated from the University of Paris, France, the following year with the Diplome de l'Universite de Paris. Composer Cook is Professor of Romance Languages (French) at Howard University. Other songs by Mercer Cook are "Stop the Moon, Stop the Sun" and "Hold up Your Hands (in the Name of the Law of Love)". In this last composition, Composer Cook wrote the music and Thomas Blanford, Howard University graduate, wrote the words. A covered honor was won by these composers when Kate Smith sang their work over the radio in a recent Washington, D.C. composers' competition.
So, of Mercer Cook vs. Dictionary,
don't believe everything you
hear, even if it does come from a
radio announcer.

And U Street is becoming untreed. All of the shade trees, from Seventh and Florida avenue to Ninth and U streets, and on up U street toward Eleventh have been removed. You never realize how lovely shade trees are until they have been uprooted. You never realize how self-conscious some people are until they have no shade trees to walk under. All along U street's treeless way, there are sudden bursts of many plants decorating stone steps, store windows, the few front yards, and office windows. These plants might have been there all of the time, but who could have noticed them with all of the lovely shade trees that once graced U street!

Don't know whether it is sentiment or incident, but Vice-Consul George plans to return from a holiday in Paris, after sailing to France from Liberia, on the S. S. President Harding. It was the Harding that went to the rescue of the Padnsay, on which the diplomat was passenger, when it was wallowing about in sea storms like an over-grown canoe in February 1929, when Vice Consul George was sailing to Liberia for his job at the American Legation. So "Bill" George is scheduled to be in America and on U street, by August 28.

Southern Road is the best thing of its kind that has come off the press in recent years. The material deals with Negro life as it is, and not as our "third generation respectibility" has us aping it to be. The book runs the gamut from the low-down of the "low-folk" to the most classic descriptions of the Virginia hill folk. Throughout the thick, well printed pages there is a life and interest given to our segment of American life. It takes Sterling Brown to do that. His is a book to buy and not borrow.

McLEMORE BEATEN IN PRIMARY FIGHT FOR CONGRESS
Clark Also Loses Out In Bitterest Battle Ever Waged In St. Louis
ST. LOUIS.—In one of the bitterest primary fights ever waged in Missouri, two Negro candidates for representative in Congress, one Republican and one a Democrat, were defeated, although they made creditable showings.
Joseph L. McLemore, Democratic candidate for Congress, ran up a total of approximately 60,000 votes. McLemore is a graduate of Howard University from the School of Law. In 1928, he received the Democratic nomination and ran against L. C. Dyer, Republican. McLemore polled more than 17,000 votes in that year against 23,000 by his opponent.
Last Tuesday, McLemore's votes in Kansas City alone totalled about 25,000. In the elections there were over 23 Negro candidates with only G. M. Allen successful for a place on the Republican ticket for the State Legislature. Missouri has had as many as four and five Negroes in her legislature. The big blows were the defeat of John W. Hays in the 23rd Ward and Jordan Chambers in the 19th by J. N. McKelvey and Harry Meyers, both white, for the Republican committee ship. McLemore ran 20th out of 53 candidates. His St. Louis vote was good, where he ran 12th. Crittenden Clark also was defeated for a Congressional place on the Republican ticket. He received 53,784 votes. Freeman Martin and Sidney R. Redmond, who were thought certainties for the State Legislature, were defeated.
Chas, U. Becker Loses
Charles U. Becker, who was
plated in the colored districts of
St. Louis and pulled a big vote
here, is reported as being defeated
by Edward H. Winter for the Rep-
ublican governorship. Becker lost
in the rural districts of the State
where he was supposed to be the
strongest.
Attorney Pearl Abernathy, who
nought the Republican nomination
for United States Senator from
Missouri, was beaten. He received
6,753 votes. His successful ope-
ment was Henry W. Kiel, white,
three time mayor of St. Louis.

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks don't swallow a lot of exits, mineral water doesn't help with sugary gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine. You can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the erase. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. It should flow freely, your food doesn't digest. It just deeps in the bowels. Gas blebs up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head rashes and you feel down and out. It takes these good, old CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, when it comes to making the bile flow freely. But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the back of the substitute. 256 at all stores. 131 C. M. C.

Family Of Five Have As Their Only Furniture One Bed And One Chair
RICHMOND, Va.—(CNS) —A family of five whose only furniture was a chair and bed, was discovered here by a worker on the staff of the City Social Bureau. The worker found the three small children sleeping on the floor without any covering, while the father and mother occupied the only bed. The father has been unemployed for a long period and when he became unable to make his installations on the furniture it was taken from him leaving the house in all effect bare. He is now receiving one day's work a week from the city and an order for two dollars worth of food for his labor. Charitable people of the city when the situation was made public rallied to the aid of the destitute family.
HOUSEWIVES PUBLISH
OWN PAPER
BALTIMORE, Md.—The first paper to be published by a local of the Housewives League, appeared here last week when the "Housewives' Guide," official organ of the Housewives' League of Baltimore, was published. The paper, in magazine form, has eight pages, and carries advertisements from Baltimore colored businesses. The editor, Mrs. Sara Boling Mason, is president of the Baltimore Housewives' League, 305 Presstman street, and has 2,000 registered members behind her. Other officers are: Elvira Bond, vice-president; Elizabeth White, organizer, Vivian Garth Allyne, secretary, Margaret Turner, treasurer.
In the leading editorial, in enumerating "what every member of the Housewives' League is to do this month," she said: "Look at every advertisement in your Guide. These advertisements represent Negroes who can supply your every demand. You will find that everything you need to buy—any kind of work you need done—can be supplied by these Negro business firms; with your pencil carefully check the ads of every kind of service you will need to use this month, and then when you start out to do your shopping, follow the ads you have checked; hang your Guide in your kitchen cabinet as a reference until you receive your next month's copy; if you need any kind of service that is not mentioned in your Guide, write us; if the service you receive from any of our advertisers is not satisfactory, write us; if you find that your every demand can be supplied by Negro firms, write us. This word will encourage others; these instructions are for you. No Negro woman is too high or too low—too rich or too poor to help in this effort to promote Negro business in Boltimore."

B. Wheeler, professor of A.&T. College; on "Maintenance and Care of Buildings," by Warren H. Booker, engineer, State Board of Health; on Water Supply and Sewage for North Carolina Schools; by C. L. Washington; on "Effecting Economies in Heating Plants," by President F. D. Bluford, who in welcoming the invitants spoke of "The Place of the School Janitor in the State School System."
A special inspection of the Greensboro City Schools and a sight-seeing tour of the city of Greensboro were made on Thursday afternoon and on Friday evening the group was entertained by the college at a banquet in Murphy Hall.

The Solace of Nature
By Johnnie Williams
I have been angry all day.
Everything's gone wrong.
The whole world and everything—and
everybody, too, it seems are in a
conspiracy to irritate and torment me.
When I got up this morning, I stumbled over my wife's electric percolator, which was at the foot of my bed. Three A.M. coffee is one of my pet obsessions. In my eagerness not to smash up one of the Mrs.' most prized possessions, I tripped one foot over the other, or somehow, my feet got tangled, and I fell, pounding my cranium, most terrifically, against the chiffonier, which I recently—but now wished I hadn't—had put in my room. Don't ask me what I did, for anybody who has ever had a blow on the head, knows I was unable to do anything; and as for what I said, well, I'd be arrested for verbal indecency if I told you, here.
"Ah, I'll take a shave," I debated, glancing at my beard in the mirror, and trying to forget my aching head. But before I had finished this, which is nothing short of an unnecessary affliction on man, for he actually needs hair only on his head, I cut myself. Bleeding and enraged I hurled the razor out of the window. This rash extravagone pricked deeply into my monetary conscience, and, in consequence, as soon as I was presently attired, I rushed out into the alley after it, it was no where to be found. Those urchins, as I'd half suspected would be the case, had beaten me to it.
After breakfast, I thought about the manuscript that I had toiled over for days and weeks. "Oh, psawh," ruminatingly, how stupid of me to forget! It's right there on the severwhere where I put it after final revisions, last night." But it wasn't. I asked my wife about it and was very incredibly informed that some such trash was lying on the floor, and that she had gathered it all up with other rubbish and crammed it in a barrel in the alley. My first thought—if it was a thought—was the kids—Oh, those darn kids. . . It would be foolish to look for it. They catch everything thrown out except hot water. "Well, my straw hat was here on this chair. Did you by any chance, stuff it in a barrel, too?" I snorted with mounting anger. Incidentally, it was up stairs. "It would be any where, but where I put it," I grumbled.
Going up for the hat, I noticed my tie needed 'adjusting. I 'laid my lighted cigar. on an ash tray, but this time of all times, it fell off, landing on a book table on which was a pair of silk stockings that my wife had been mending. The fabric blazed up just as she entered the room on a house cleaning tour. Need I record what followed?
Befuddled, exasperated, I ripe with disgust. I dashed out of the house to my car, intending to drive miles and miles out into the coun-
There, I knew I could find rest solace, and a delectable breeze to soothe my aching head, I presse impetuously on the starter, I groaned resentfully, but refused to pick up. Again I shot my foot down with a terrific crash, the rebellious wreck wouldn't, budge man when he finds himself successfully defeated by a thing which How overwhelming is the fury of he cannot hurt!
Determined to go somewhere... anywhere, I jumped out of the car and began legging it down the street. At the corner, the traffic light was operating. I approached distrustingly. Long ago, traffic signals became one of my pet aversions. To me, they are furtive deceiving objects that lure one to one's untimely end. So with an unpretentious caution, I stopped at the edge of the curb. Something in the opposite direction attracted my attention, and when I glanced at the signal the green was on. I said they were deceiving objects, and true to description, this one now fools me off the curb, about a half second before it was to change. In consequence, I was in it the very middle of the street when a maelstrome of trucks, cars and busses, bore threatening upon me. My agile days have passed, nevertheless. I was forced, for sheer love of life, to duck, dodge, and skip like a panther. Narrowly escaping an avalanche of bailed hay that fell just as it got to me.
Enveloped by a wave of compulsive self-pity. It ridged wearily on.
Finally I came upon a wooded spot which I have known since boy-hood, and to which I have oftimes retreated in times of mental and spiritual agonies.
I need not tell you that my choler left me with a surprising suddenness. For here was no disturbances of any kind. Only the balmy dronings of Nature's children. Here, nothing was changed in a world of constant changes. My own favorite hillside beckoned to me. The full lush richness of Nature was expressed in the even battalions of trees, laden with leaves, the little brook singing its ancient song, the chirping birds... all undisturbed by, yet condemning the wranglings and worries of men.
Hence, the morning that had begun so tragically for me, ended in a peace that only a few hours communion with Nature can give.

Where Did You Learn To Make It?
Satisfactory desserts may be frozen without stirring by packing in ice and salt or by placing in the trays of the mechanical refrigerator. A fairly rich mixture must be used in these desserts and the ingredients carefully combined in order to obtain a satisfactory texture. Such ice creams are never so smooth as those prepared in a freezer with a dasher but are less trouble and, properly prepared, have a flaky, crystalline texture quite characteristic and desirable. In freezing with a dasher, the knife edge cuts off the crystals as they are formed, and the whipping portion of the dasher beats in the air. In freezing without stirring, the size of the crystals must be controlled by air beaten in advance, by the fillers in solution, or suspended in colloidal form as the chemist says, and by the rapidity of freezing. Air and fillers get in between the particles of water and prevent mechanically the formation of large crystals. Slow freezing makes larger crystals.
Dilute Heavy Cream
Heavy cream is the most satisfactory base for desserts frozen without stirring. Such cream is used in the preparation of mousse and in combination with egg whites in parfaits. These are frozen by packing in ice and salt without stirring or in a mechanical refrigerator, provided the temperature of the unit is sufficiently low, from $21^{\circ}$ to $27^{\circ}$ F. Heavy cream holds in air when whipped, and the fat is evenly distributed. Both these conditions retard the formation of large crystals. Furthermore the fat becomes more solid at the low temperature, thus adding to the smoothness desirable in these desserts. Heavy cream is expensive, however, and if used alone is too rich to be palatable; so recipes have been developed in which the cream is diluted by the addition of evaporated milk and thin cream, or by rich milk thickened with gelatin, eggs or flour.
Quick Freezing Mixture
In making these desserts in the units of the mechanical refrigerator, it should be remembered that they are designated primarily as a refrigerating device and not as a freezer for desserts. The thermostat is ordinarily set to keep the box at satisfactory temperature for a food storage and it does not go below $10^{\circ}$ to $15^{\circ}$ F. Any refrigerating machine may be provided with a shortcirculating device that throws out the temperature regulator and keeps the uncolder, and some are now equipped with a regulator that makes it possible to set the unit to hold a lower temperature. In any case it is desirable to use a mixture which will start to fireze at the highest point. Sugar lowers the freezing point; therefore the sugar in these recipes has been kept at the lowest level for palatability.
Plain moussees may be extended and their flavors changed by serving them as sundaes with fruits or with sauces flavored with chocolate, carmel, maple sirup or honey. Less sugar may then be used in the mousse and it will be easier to freeze.
Easy and Quick!
PLAIN MOUSSE
1 cup double cream
1 cup rich milk or thin cream
1 tsp. gelatin
6 tbs. sugar
2 egg whites
1 1/16 tsp. salt
½ tsp. vanilla.
Soak the gelatin until soft in a little of the milk or thin cream. Heath the remainder, and pour over the gelatin. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved, and put the mixture aside to chill. Whip the double cream. When the mixture containing the gelatin has thicken, slightly, beat it to incorporate air. Add the vanilla, and fold in the whipped cream and the well-beaten egg whites. The egg whites reduce richness, increase volume, and improve texture. These proportions will make over 4 cups before freezing; or, if egg whites are not used, about 3 cups.

If there is a board on which the President should have placed a Negro it is the Home Loan Bank Board. Negroes are home lovers and home owners. They are in need of the very help which this Home Loan Bank is supposed to render.

Negroes have never gotten anything like their proposition of government money supposed to be for benefit of United States citizens. Of the millions of dollars lent out by the Farm Bureau only a few hundreds of dollars ever found their way to Negro applicants.

The success of this Home Loan Bank and the benefits it will render the people and the country depend upon whether it functions to the extent of giving actual relief to the people who really need it. It is one thing to paint beautiful word pictures of home relief and home saving but it is quite another thing to make the Home Loan Bank actually render that service. We have our doubts of the value and service to be given real deserving applicants by the administration of this home loan fund. We shall watch its administration.
A NEGRO HAD THE WORLD ON THE RUN
Nannie H. Burroughs who always has something worthwhile to say in her wise and witty way says the following relative to the recent Olympic games:
Last week the Negro had the world on the run out in California. A crowd of 60,000 people stood up and cheered him. He ran with his head thrown back, and his face showing confidence. He won. Tolan was listed as a Negro when he went into the 100 meters Olympic race. Simpson was listed as an American. When Tolan came out ahead of American, German, Japanese, and South African, he was listed as an American and Simpson became an "also ran". At least that is what the newspaper said.
Lawson Robertson said, "It was a brilliant victory for the U. S. A. because our boys faced from the beginning the greatest field of 100 meter men, that Europe and the Orient ever has sent against us.
Beating the world makes you automatically an American, and the crowd will stand up and cheer you. Being a Negro helps. You can throw your head back and make your eyes shine. That's a pretty picture.
This triumph over the world is heartening to the entire Negro race, and gratifying to those Americans who have invested faith, hope, a fair chance, an unbiased attitude and money in boys like Tolan. That boy won because the Olympic meet gave him a fair field and he asked no favors. There are a thousand to be run in America in other fields of human endeavor. It is our hope that other Negroes will prepare to run them. When they do they will not
Thank God for Tolan and Metcalfe, with their heads back and eyes shining and feet flying. Their achievement should teach Negro youth many valuable lessons:
First: Prepare to meet the
First: Prepare to meet the world.
Second: Conserve your best self,
your speed, stamina and your wisdom
for the great occasion.
Third: You are just a Negro until you beat the world at the game.

The Washington Tribune has always condemned mob violence. The action of the twelve or fifteen boys who plotted to administer a beating to Park Policeman Kennedy in Logan Circle Saturday night, is a glaring example of mob action, which we condemn.
It is regrettable that our young men should so forget themselves as to band together, as a gang and kill a member of the law enforcement department of the District.
We hold no brief for these young men and do not condone their action.
While the police of Washington are not above reproach in their brutality, the individual cases should be resented by the victim of their brutality and not by mob action. Law and order must be respected and maintained.
Be it said to the credit of Gen. Glassford, chief of police of the District, that since his assumption of his duties as the chief of police, there has been a notable slump in 'police brutality here. We commend him for his stand against brutality of the men under him toward their prisoners and persons whom they contact.
We are informed that this gang of boys has infested Logan Circle and given it a very unsavory reputation. Their conduct in this park has been condemned, not only by the residents of that vicinity but by passersby and casual visitors to the circle.
From the best information we can obtain, the death of Officer Kennedy is the climax of a riotous gang of young men who go from one misdemeanor to another, from bad to worse and now they find themselves facing a prison term for the company they kept and the resulting action of the gang.
The crime wave in Washington has reached an alarming height. It is young men and women who are credited with the major part of the crimes committed here. We cannot permit this thing to continue. Parents, teachers, preachers, everybody must feel the pang and humiliation of a crime

Beating the world makes you automatically an American, and the crowd will stand up and cheer you. Being a Negro helps. You can throw your head back and make your eyes shine. That's a pretty picture.
This triumph over the world is heartening to the entire Negro race, and gratifying to those Americans who have invested faith, hope, a fair chance, an unbiased attitude and money in boys like Tolan. That boy won because the Olympic meet gave him a fair field and he asked no favors. There are a thousand to be run in America in orther fields of human endeavor. It is our hope that other Negroes will prepare to run them. When they do they will not only smash the world record, but they will smash race prejudice.
Don't wait for the next Olympic. Get into the real game of life. The everyday game of our everyday life is more important than all the Olympics that will ever be held. It is high time that Negro youth were becoming obsessed with the desire and a burning passion to enter the game and win.
DIGESTING THE NEWS
By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL
IMPRESSIONS — GOOD AND BAD
Since this column has become more or less, nationally established, the writer, like all other publicists, is constantly receiving literature, letters, pleas, etc., on which the senders claim that they desire our opinion (meaning, of course, publicity) and, of course, in a general way we are glad to render whatever assistance is possible.
A great many of these communications, and the follow-up methods used, make a very favorable impression upon us, while there are a great many others, unfortunately, that create a most unfavorable impression, even though, in some instances, the logic and theories set forth are excellent and entirely commendable.
This release is, therefore, specifically written with the hope that some of our organizations, existent and proposed, will give some serious thought to the unfavorable impression they are creating by sending out communications that are poorly prepared, both as to arrangement and mechanical effect, for no matter how excellent the proposition may be, any letter or other piece of literature that is almost unreadable or is otherwise poor in its appearance creates almost instantly a very bad impression on the entire proposition.
In front of me is a letter and a circular (received during the week) of a proposed organization which is desirous of consolidating the Negroes (in their particular community) into one organization for economic and political purposes.
Out of an age of strife and speed,
He comes to take the conqueror's
crown;
Such dauntlessness in life shall
lead,
His generation to renown.
In clearest radiance his name,
For incessant efforts we see
Olympic history acclaim,
An inevitable victory.
Beyond all speeds of mankind gone,
Vanishing space with time anew;
Our modern dark Hermes hath
borne,
America's red, white and blue.
The race's athlete of the hour,
Has in seconds amazed the age;
With spee' and bountiful power.
Praise his glorious heritage!
YOU CRUEL MAN
What a serious breach of etiquette!
Did you really mention (and without bated breath) that a Republican President was interested in Ku Klux Klan and Southern discrimination? Don't you know it's the Democrats who are responsible for the ill-treatment of the Southern Negro? Surely you made a mistake when you said a Republican. . . That was a slip of the pen.
Why the Republican Party is the friend of the Negro—the hope of the race—the Negro's Rock of Gibraltar.
Did you dare to say that Hoover . . . ?
I can't believe it! I can't believe it!
What do you expect the Republicans to use now as arguments to attract the Negro?
And the poor Democrats! The poor Democrats! You wouldn't even let the poor dears hold the monoply on discrimination, segregation in the Government Departments, and Southern ostracism of Negroes!
You cruel man! That will never do!
Leave the Republicans a leg to stand on, won't you please?

ridden city. What can we do to curb and curtail the rising tide?
There have been several dastardly crimes committed here in recent months. The murder of the old grocerman Ruppert at Eleventh and T streets, northwest, is one of them. The killing of Policeman Kennedy bring the thing very forcefully to our attention. Are we helpless? The Tribune wants Washington clean of these gangs infesting public parks and places. We want the crime record reduced. We want the criminals caught and duely punished. There is no excuse for our high rate of crime and every lawabiding, liberty-loving citizen should feel a personal interest and take an active part in reducing Washington's rising tide of crime. Our future is jeopardized by this crime record—our progress hampered. We must act to restore and protect personal security.
The Tribune wishes to commend the fine spirit of fairness and the utter lack of race prejudice shown at the Coroner's hearing Tuesday. The Scottsboro case as well as other cases farther South where mob violence runs rampant, flashes before us and we commend the acting Coroner. Dr. McDonald and the Assistant District Attorney Richard for their fairness in keeping out any sign, insinuation or inference that would engender race prejudice or race clash. The police officers who investigated and reported on the case are due commendation for their impartiality also.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1932
They particularly stress the importance of Negroes achieving success only on a competitive basis and through superior efficiency, yet their mimeographed circular is so poorly constructed, so full of typographical errors, so full of imperfections due to using the wrong kind of paper that a negative impression is formed without giving the matter further investigation.
Sometimes a very excellent proposition creates an unfavorable impression merely by using one or two prejudiced statements. For instance here is a paragraph in a "Constitution" for a proposed national organization:
"...No minister of the gospel shall hold any office in this organization...."
And while I am no publicity agent for any group or affiliation of ministers I am unable to be favorably impressed with any effort that makes such narrow restrictions as to explicitly bar entire groups merely through some whim or prejudice against a few of its members.
Many unfavorable impressions arise when publicity seekers send in fancy statements of their efforts but refuse to give enlightenment when a specific request is made for certain other detailed information, Or, when a promise of additional literature or information is promised, the correspondent is delinquent in sending same, and you receive many alibis for its failure to arrive. All of these little things tend to create an impression, either good or bad, and should be closely watched.
Episcopal Church for the space you gave to an account of our recent Daily Vacation Bible School. This was the first attempt on the part of our church to conduct such a school and the recognition as you gave the school will serve to stimulate our people along moral and spiritual lines and let them see the upward side of our race. Your paper is making an invaluable contribution to our community and I wish to thank you again for the space you gave not only to our church but to all churches and forward movements for the advancement of our race. With every good wish

Danger doesn't always lurk in the darkness—keep your eyes on the shining, sparkling enticements that confront you.
The darkest hours of our lives mostly test our strength of characters—should we fail ourselves during this eriod we have no others to blame.
A full purse obtains us many friends of whom we may boast. 'Tis only when our purse becomes empty that our eyes are opened.
The man who expresses his candid opinion when under the influence of intoxicants, should not be allowed to render excuses when he becomes normal. . .
Some of us have all to lose and nothing to gain, and we diligently try to convert others over to our rank.
Returning good for evil, accomplishes for us more forcecably and quietly our desire, than an entire arsnal,—where individuals are concerned.

KELLY MILLER SAYS:
A Woman's Viewpoint
THE FUTURE OF LILYWHITISM
The ultimate fate of lilywhitism will be determined in 1936. If President Hoover is re-elected and throws the influence of his administration behind the choice of his successor the lilywhite policy will prevail in all of the Southern States. The Mississippi delegation which luckily stemmed the tide at Chicago cannot reasonably hope to further resist the administrative impact. If, on the other hand, Mr. Hoover fails of re-election the Republican party will probably be out of luck for the next eight years, if not forever. This great organization, in the estimation of many political thinkers, has just about rendered its best service to the American people.
The time has about arrived for it to give way to some more progressive agency in close harmony with the economic and industrial trend of the times. But be this as it may, four or eight years vacation will thoroughly disorganize the G. O. P. and leave its reconstruction to new hands in closer touch with the spirit of the new age. There will be rival candidates galore. Each will seek for delegates wherever they may be found.
The South, as hitherto, will be the hunting ground. Candidates for the presidency never have been nice about the selection of delegates committed to their fortune. Herein lies the chief trading point for Southern politicians. The wily candidates are looking for the leader who can deliver the goods. Race and color count for naught at this stage of the game. The Mississippi folks would be free to play the game with an eye to the main chance. South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana would be encouraged to bring up contesting delegations, lily white or chocolate brown, who would be seated if necessary to the success of the dominant candidate.
The entire lily white fabric which has been built up from McKinley to Hoover would be brushed aside with the waive of the hand, if political exigency demanded it to be so. The Negro's only hope of ever again functioning importantly in party organizations in the South rests upon the defeat of Herbert Hoover. But indeed the game may not be worth the gamble. The lily white policy as modified by Mr. Hoover admits the Negro to minor race recognition in the most dense Negro States. If he will still further modify this policy so as to make it apply to such States as Virginia, North Carolina and Texas which now regoriously exclude the black man, then it remains for Negro practical statesmanship to determine if this is not the best attainable method of representation under existing circumstances.
There is little hope that the Negro will be allowed to function in proportion to his numerical strength in any organization where his numbers are large. In fact this is not even expected by the women who now claim political equality with men. All that they now expect of either party is sex representation on a lesser scale
Back To The Farm
By Nannie H. Burroughs
There are millions of idle acres of land going to waste in the country and millions of idle men going to waste in the city.
Furthermore every large city in America has hundreds of vacant lots on which tin cans and debris are stored. If the social agencies were wise and frugal they would have every vacant lot available, under cultivation. They have an army of able-bodied dependants that could cultivate their own vegetables. Instead of sitting around waiting for the charities to bring them something in cans, dependent people grow enough on vacant lots to feed themselves during the summer.
The nation will never be delivered from the bondage of depressjon until it puts the idle man and the idle land to work.
The cities have run out of work, out of morals and out of health and before this bear-cat of a winter, that is headed this way, is over they will run out of charity. The bread-line is destined to become a dead line. Welfare agencies have spent enough money for temporary relief and for high salaried dispensers of charity to have made permanent investments in thousands of farms of one to ten acres in size and offered a million families the opportunity to go to them to work and live.
That's exactly what we will have to come to eventually—why are now? Dispensers of Charity are doing more impractical idiotic things than any other agency in the world.
The associated press gives this one of thousands of typical cases. It says:
"Charlestown, Md., July 28
—why should an unemployed man in Baltimore, getting $5 a week from charity, come to Eastern Shore and work on a farm for $20 a month, in addition to food and shelter for a
than their numbers entitle them to. Both Negroes and women must wait further development of political capacity before they may reasonably hope for pro rata representation.
Has Mr. Hoover or Mr. Walter Brown, his first lieutenant, the courage of Theodore Roosevelt to give the Negro a place in the new scheme, if not numerically proportional, nevertheless proportioned to relative political weight and worth? President Taft announced the lily white policy of the Republican party in the South so far as office holding is concerned.
No one of his three Republican successors, except in a single instance, has departed from this ill white policy. Office holding in the South is limited to white men. Although the Negro may control the organization and have the titular right to name candidates for office, it is definitely stipulated and understood that they must name white men and women to the exclusion of their own race. We have seen Lincoln Johnson, Ben Davis, and Perry Howard chosen as national committeemen from their respective states. According to the customary function of the national committeemen, they recommended the federal officers for their several states. In every instance they have played the game according to the rule and recommended white candidates only.
In several instances the administration has grown dissatisfied with this arrangement, and has designated some independent spokesman through whom to manipulate federal appointments. But it all worked the same way—"all for the white man and none for the nigger". The Democratic party in the South and its Republican protagonist are rapidly coming to an approachment on the Negro question.
The Democratic party, under decision of the Supreme Court, is reluctantly admitting the Negro to participation in the Democratic primaries. On the other hand, the Republican party which at first insisted on full equality, in nominating conventions, has been experimenting with different methods of elimination. It shut him out as completely as did the Democrats from state conventions while allowing him to participate in others. Now comes Mr. Hoover with his hidden masterhand, who would grant him miner and ineffectual racial recognition.
Is Mr. Hoover willing to come out in the open and modify his policy so as to make it apply to all of the Southern states? Will our Negro statesmen accept the policy of partial recognition first sanctioned by Theodore Roosevelt and belatedly adopted by Herbert Hoover? Or will they wildly and hysterically fight for the immediate restoration of the doctrine of political equality advocated by Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens? What practical steps will they take in the meantime to bring about this consummation devoutly to be wished?
wife and three children? That is the question asked by a Baltimorean who lasted just three weeks on a Kent County farm and then returned to the city to receive his weekly dole without working at all.
"A man and his wife, owners of nearby farm, applied to a Baltimore employment. agency for some one to tenant their small place near Kennedyville. The man and his family answered the plea. In spite of the fact that $5 was spent the first week and $9 the second week on groceries for the visiting family, the man notified the landlord he was going back to Baltimore.
"I can get $5 a week in the city," he said, "and not do a stroke of work."
He reasons well and does the perfect human thing. Thousands of others are reasoning just as well as the Baltimore, and have come to the same sensible conclusion while thousands of high powered charity workers, lift their brows and talk nonsense in high sounding terms. An unmoral man reasons thus—why work when you can earn more money loafing? Our grand army of professional loafers are helping the social welfare fadist to play the game to a finish. Loafers surely get a real kick out of putting the job over so cleanly. People who think at all realize that God did not make these millions of acres of perfectly good land to go to waste nor was He playing with nice words when He decreed that "in the sweat of the face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground."
Any man-made scheme devised to give bread to men who do not toil for it will eventually bankrupt the giver and demoralize the receiver.
Nationalized charity for able-bodied men just won't work.
Believe it or not, back to the farm is the only way back to normaly. Every welfare agency in
America should pool its temporary relief income, work out a feasible plan for farming cooperatively or for individual tenancy, leasing or purchasing, providing shelter, implements, health protection, and call on the entire nation to back the movement, clear the cities of the unemployed and start the nation back to homes, health and happiness.
The first slogan should be work for the able-bodied unemployed regardless of race or color, the agencies should make Horace Greeley's doctrine their national slogan—"root, hog, or die."
Continued idleness will make able-bodied men muscleless and moralless. They will become physically incapacitated for working and morally undesired of working.

Intelligent Negroes
By Beatrice M. Murphy L
Political parties—like ministers
—must have texts upon which to
base their sermon; and the text
of the Grand Old Party, as given
by both its leaders and would-be
leaders in this election, seems to
be: "All intelligent Negroes are
in the Republican Party," or to
express it another way, "No intelligent Negro who knows anything
about Politics at all would think of
voting anything but the Republican
ticket."
Conceding that this might be true, the writer has a notion the specific need of the Negro race today is not intelligence so much as service. I am not saying that Negroes should not be intelligent. I believe they should be. But there are a great many intelligent Negroes walking around today who are not interested particularly in their race of its enlightenment either politically or any other way. I mean interested to the point of wanting to do something about it. There is no use in telling what's wrong with a thing unless you are willing to do something about righting it. Passive interest isn't very worthwhile.
The race needs useful Negroes who are willing to fight to the finish for their convictions. Negroes who will go out of their way to interest their indolent, apathetic brothers in the things they should be interested in—who will be willing to work to educate these less fortunate brothers and make them useful. Men and women not only of intelligence, but of courageous action who will stand on the side of Right, whether it be minority or majority.
This is true politically as well as religiously and intellectually.
I do not want to underrate the value of intelligence, but rather to point out that if intelligence, after it is acquired, is not used for more than one's selfish purposes one's life becomes self-centered, and his viewpoint warned.
So to you, Mr. Ordinary Rank and File Negro—Mr. Average Citizen, I say: If the Republican Party (or any other Political party) can't offer any better argument than this for your becoming one of them, ignore it.
Join with that party where you can be of service to your race and community, and you will be a happier man. I might even add, a wiser one; for in experience there is wisdom—if not intelligence.
BOOK REVIEWS
"THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST"
By Oscar Wilde
(International Pocket Library, Boston.)
This is one of Oscar Wilde's three-act dreams adapted from his interpretation of certain English life as he saw it. Perhaps it could be more fittingly described as a satire because of the manner certain characters and motives are shown up.
A thrilling love theme around two couples carry the reader's interest which adds not only to the suspense of the principals but also of the readers as the various supporting characters reveal their petty and disgusting prejudices.
The Aunt to one of the lovers refuses her consent to the marriage of her niece and a most worthy young man, because the young man is unable to produce a satisfactory lineal anesthesiology, which the same Aunt is excitingly overjoyed upon hearing of the engagement of her well-titled, but impoverished, nephew to a young girl possessing extreme wealth.
Both the young men principals are caught in an innocent intrigue and considerable comedy and ridiculous situations arise in their efforts to extricate themselves during which period we see the two girl lovers rave in their fondness for each other, then turn bitter in their dislikes to each other, and as the men principals extricate themselves from their particular indications, the girls' foundness for each other grows again into love and devotion. In fact the entire drama teams with situations that give Oscar Wilde a most timely opportunity to demonstrate his skill in the art of character portrayal.

NEGRO YEAR BOOK MEETS
WIDESPREAD DEMAND FOR
INFORMATION ON RACE
TUSKEGEE, Ala.—That the Ne-
That Monroe N. Work's Nedemand for accurate facts on questions concerning the Negro, can be seen from Dr. Work's announcement that over twenty-five hundred copies of the first edition have already been sold. This demand has been from whites, as well as Negroes, throughout the entire world.
The book has been well received by the foreign and domestic press. Reviews have appeared in such foreign papers as the the Fankot Times of Frankfort, Germany; The United India and Indian States, Delhi, India; LIndependence, Belge, Belgium; The Gold Coast Times, West Africa; La Geographic, Society De Geographic, Paris and the Pacific Affairs. The press and periodicals of this country have also received the publication with enthusiasm. The World Tomorrow in its March issue says in part: "It is an indisensable guide for those who are seriously interested in the Negro's background, his history, his achievements, his present state in American and throughout the world."
The large percentage of orders have come from white people. Many universities such as the University of Chicago and John Hopkins University are using this work for a standard reference book in some of their courses on social problems. Most of the large libraries, both school and public, also keep it as one of their valuable reference books.
Dr. Work described the purpose of the Negro Year Book in the following manner: "The Negro Year Book performs the unique service to the Race of setting forth facts relating to the present condition of Negroes throughout the world. It notes the progress they are making, the problems which confront them and the efforts which are being made to bring about a better understanding between the Races. Before the Year Book, there were many vague speculations, but no facts. The Year Book simply presents the facts of race relation and race progress without comment."
Though he has received many compliments for his work on the Year Book, Dr. Work considers the finest tribute one that came from an old colored man. This man wrote that he had two books which he read. . . the Bible and the Negro Year Book. The Year Book, he said, could be used both defensively and offensively. When he argued with white people about the Negro's progress he quoted it and when he argued with Negroes about their lack of progress he also quoted it. Thus as with the Bible many things can be proved from the facts presented in the book. Recently permission has been granted to Mrs. Charlotte Rou, of Frankfort, Germany to translate the Year Book into German. Dr. Karl Brehm, director, Institute de Traducciones, Valencia, Spain has been granted permission to translate the book into French, Spanish and Esperanto.
Though not widely read or appreciated by the Race as a whole this publication is one that fulfills the highest of scientific standards and is an achievement of which the Race can well be proud.
LIST OF NEGRO PUBLICATIONS
There is plenty of good reading of fiction in Negro publications, newspapers, magazines, and fraternal magazines.
Perhaps if you are not directly interested in fiction there are publications that will answer your desires. If in doubt where to secure the publications that you would like to read, address James A. Jackson, Department of Commerce, Small Business Section, Washington, D. C. He has compiled a complete list of Negro newspapers, magazines, trade journals, and press service in the United States. The list is free for the asking.

Pope's Representative Christens Better's Baby
The baby son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Morris was christened in the Apostolic Delegation, 1811 Biltmore street, northwest, by the Apostolic Delegate Most Right Rev. Pietro Fumasoni Brondi with the assistance of Rev. Francis E. Highland, Saturday. The baby was named in honor of the delegate, Pietro Donald Bernard Morris. The wedding of the father and mother, the former Miss Marily M. Betters, created quite a sensation a year ago when they had the honor of being the first couple of the race to be married at a nupital mass celebrated by the Right Rev. Monsignor Paul Marcella, auditor of the Apostolic Delegation ranking next to the delegate. Now their baby has the distinction of being the first colored child to be christened by the Apostolic delegate in the Apostolic Delegation.
The baby was garbed in christening clothes of white silk fashioned after the fashion of the clothes of the eighteenth century. Many handsome gifts including a diamond ring were presented the child.

HOWARD GRADUATE NAMED PROFESSOR AT STATE COLLEGE
Stanton Wormley Receives Highest Honors At German University
Stanton Wormley, Howard University graduate and special student at the University of Hamburg, Germany, has been appointed professor of German at the Virginia State College, of Petersburg, Va., it was learned here Wednesday. Mr. Wormley is scheduled to report to the college for work September 27.
Returning from Germany where he just completed his course of study in one year, Mr. Wormley arrived in New York on the S. S. Breman, yesterday (Thursday), and was met by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wormley. He is expected to return to the city with his parents today.
Mr. Wormley received his diploma from the University of Hamburg recently with suma cum laude honors, the highest honors ever accorded a student at the University. Mr. Wormley had been studying at the university on an International Scholarship as an exchange student. After completing one year's study he took the examination with four other students from Holland, Switzerland and Sweden. The chairman of the Board of Examiners said after the examination that Wormley's ratings were the highest ever made at the university.
Young Wormley, who is 23 years of age, is the son of Mr. Lawrence R. and Mrs. Mary E. Wormley, of Landover, Md. He is a graduate of Dunbar High School and Howard High School and Howard University. He also received his Master's degree at Howard.
School Boy Invents Cradle Alarm To Prevent Kidnaping
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—(CNS)—A novel cradle alarm system perfected by a fifteen year old school boy who hopes to put an end to kidnapping may be available for anxious mothers soon, it was learned yesterday.
The young inventor, Samuel Bridges, greatly distressed over the kidnapping and fate of the Lindbergh baby, has been at work on the development of his device which has already attracted wide attention and may be manufactured as soon as patent rights are established.
According to people who have seen the cradle alarm, it really does the work. The system includes a baby crib, equipped with a trap door and alarm bells connecting with the nurse's or mother's room and with the police station.
The crib sits on an elevated place in the floor. Stepping on this part of the floor starts the bells ringing all around the place, making enough noise to wake up the whole neighborhood. A trigger is then thrown which causes the crable to drop a few inches and a ventilated lid to fall and lock itself down over the sleeping baby.

TOMMY GAINS 6 POUNDS AT T.B. HEALTH CAMP
TOMMY GAINS 6 POUNDS AT T.B. HEALTH CAMP
The "happy days" that have "come again" to little 7-year-old Tommy, one of the forty youngsters receiving special care at the Children's Health Camp of the Tuberculosis Association, Fourteenth and Upshirst streets, northwest, are due in part to the fact that three young women who called at the camp last week took a personal interest in Tommy's problem. These three are Miss Edith Brookhart, daughter of Senator Brookhart of Iowa; Miss Edith McCoy, daughter of Dr. G. W. McCoy, of the U.S. Public Health Service; and Miss Mary Frasier, a trained nurse from the Emergency Hospital.
The good luck streak now running for Tommy really began for him on the day when a visiting nurse from the Tuberculosis Association called at his home where a large family of children had been in contact with a fatal case of tuberculosis. Following the nurse's advice to the parents, Tommy was taken to the Children's Tuberculosis Clinic where he was diagnosed as having an infection of the juvenile type and as being underweight and undernourished.
On the strength of that information Tommy was admitted to the Health Camp this summer when it opened on July 18. Since that date Tommy has made a gain of over six pounds in weight with general improvement of condition, credited to his daily health habits required at camp, lots of rest, sunshine, and the balanced diet provided for all the children in the camp, including proportions of fresh vegetables, fruit, cereals, and plenty of pasteurized milk.
But that gain was just a starter for Tommy. For when the three visiting ladies noticed that Tommy's eyes were not seeing right and that the little chap had come to camp without needful clothes. When they emerged they notified the camp superintendent, Miss Martha Cline, that they had started a fund with which to pay for Tommy's examination by a well-known occultist. Furthermore they

NURSERY SCHOOL ADDRESSED BY SPECIALISTS
Specialists in nursery schools and home economics in the United States Office of Education in the Department of the Interior were guest speakers in the classes in child care and development at Howard University, last Friday. The speakers were Dr. Mary Davis, specialist in pre-school education, and Miss Emily Whitcomb, the Government's senior research specialist in home economics. The occasion was an exhibition of work of the nursery class of the Howard summer session. The aim of the course was to give a comprehensive study of the physical care and nutrition of the child which may influence both his physical and mental development.
Six boys and six girls ranging from 18 months to 5 years of age were enrolled with Mrs. Flaxie Pinkett in direct charge of the nursery school. Mrs. Pinkett is a graduate of Cornell University and is a student of the Graduate School at Howard, and is the mother of six children. By virtue of both training and experience, Mrs. Pinkett has proved herself eminently qualified for the task. The class is under the direction of Miss Ethel J. Roberson, instructor in the department of home economics, and the twelve students enrolled are for the most part teachers in the public schools of Washington. Four rooms on the ground floor of the Home Economics Buildings have been suitably decorated and equipped for that purpose. Dr. E. H. Allen has given valuable aid in conserving and promoting health of the children.
Dr. Davis, in her address, discussed the growth and development of the nursery school in the United States, stressing the importance of pre-school education. Dr. Davis stated that the reason for the failure to hurry up nursery schools in the United States is because of the lack of a sufficient number of properly trained teachers. The appropriateness of such a school at Howard University is indicated by the fact that the Office (Continued on page 11)

MASONIC ORDER STAGES BENEFIT GAMES AT PARK
MASONIC ORDER STAGES BENEFIT GAMES AT PARK
Regular Field Day Ceremonies Waived; Proceeds To Aid Temple Redemption Fund.
Apparently Old Man Depression has hit the Masonic Order, for all the pomp and ceremony which usually is in evidence at an annual field day celebration of that great fraternal order was missing Saturday when the Masons staged a benefit baseball game at Griffith Stadium. Each year in the past, the fraternal order has held a field day at the same park. The occasion has always been a gala one with the rank and file members of the order turning out in all their brilliant regalia and the order's band on hand to give them a glorious welcome. A parade has usually preceded the big day at the park. Stunts, field events, marching events, and a baseball game between the two most outstanding teams in the District have customarily filled the bill at the stadium.
All this, with the exception of the baseball game, was missing, Saturday, as the Masons staged a benefit baseball contest between the Washington Pilots, pride of the Capital, and the Baltimore Black Sox. The two teams split a doubleheader, the Pilots winning the first, 9-4, and losing the night cap, 5-4.
According to Acting Grand Master George W. Amber, who is serving in this capacity during the illness of Grand Master Frank D. McKinney, the order voted to waive the usual ceremonies this year in favor of the benefit games for the Temple Redemption Fund. The affair was staged under the auspices of the Masters and Matrons Association with Ellis P. Moon, manager and sponsor; Oliver H. Towles, chairman; Francis S. Rolls, Josephine Butts, grand royal matron.
During the intermission period between the two games, members of the committee presented Mr. Moom with a floral tribute. Those who formed the committee were George W. Amber, acting grand master; Edward J. Morris, assistant grand secretary; Lewis W. Roy, grand warden; R. W. Stevens, grand deacon; Josephine Butts, grand matron; Phyllis Bird, secretary of Masters and Matron Association; Edward J. Wims, assistant grand patron; and William J. Claytor, grand chorister.
Shoots Assailant With Gun He Attempted To Use
Ruby Hughes, 26, was in a serious condition late Wednesday at Freedmen's Hospital suffering with gum shot wounds in the right lung following an altercation with William West, 25, at 1803 Wiltberger place, northwest, earlier in the day. Police say, West shot Hughes after the latter had cut him and attempted to shoot him. West, who is known as "Christy", took the pistol from Hughes and then shot him.
180 MOTHERS AND CHILDREN ARE AT CAMP PLEASANT
Fourth And Last Group Arrived Wednesday; Big Program Last Friday
The fourth and last group of campers for Camp Pleasant arrived Tuesday. It is the largest group ever to be admitted. There are 29 mothers, 82 girls, and 69 boys for a total of 180. This group will remain until August 21, when "breaking camp" for this season will begin. Superintendent Lovett says that this has been his best year.
Before a large and appreciative audience the children of the third party at Camp Pleasant presented their final program. Songs, short dramas and recitations formed the first part of the program. The second part, a dramatic interpretations of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, by Browning, was splendidly done, and the array of costumes made the performance extremely spectacular.
The studio exhibition in sewing, arts and hand-crafts was of a practical nature. The mothers exhibited dresses, boys' suits, bloomers and pillowslips which they had made and stencilled in oil paints with designs of camp scenes. The larger girls made and stencilled blouses, doll dresses, pillow slips, and runners. Soap carvings of lions and cats were the boys' contributions to the exhibition. The program for the performance made by the girls were stencilled in crayons, with the same designs used on the wearing apparel.
The art work is under the direction of Miss Lois M. Jones; the camp "Children's Theatre" is directed by Miss Gertrude McBrown; the music by Mr. G. Leonard Allen and Miss Nora Drew; and the sewing by Mrs. Louise J. Lovett. Each of these workers holds an envious position relative to his or her particular field of endeavor. They practice or have practiced these specific "callings" in some regular school system during the winter months of the year. Camp Pleasant is indeed fortunate in having such accomplished persons to handle the details of the camp program. On the second Friday evening of each party a program and exhibition are held displaying some of the accomplishments of the campers during their vacation at camp. The campers take whatever they make home with them when the party is discharged.
A new policy has just begun at Camp Pleasant by which the mothers of each party will be organized into a club upon their arrival at camp. This organization will function while at camp. Just before the party is discharged, the mothers will be re-organized into a permanent organization for club work during the winter months in the city. The idea has been put over nicely in the third party and many things were accomplished as a result thereof. The officers of the permanent club elected before the discharge of the party were: Mrs. Olive Bowen, president; Mrs. Lily Manago, vice-president; and Mrs. Lelia Murray, secretary. The first club to be organized has not been named as yet. Each group of mothers henceforth will be organized. It is hoped that the plan will develop into something beneficial. Many of the councillors have volunteered to work with the clubs during the winter months.
Among the guests at Camp Pleasant over the week-end were: Miss Louise O. Bell, secretary of the summer outings committee; Mr. Edwin S. Potter, publicity manager of the summer outings committee; a group of councillors from Camp Good Will, the camp for white mothers and their children; Mrs. B. Ridgley Hume and daughter, of New York City; Miss E. F. G. Merritt, president of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P.; Mr. and Mrs. L. Z. Johnson, Mrs. C. O. Robertson, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Goodrich and family, Miss N. L. Gallagher, of the Red Cross; and Mrs. S. W. Lane, Mrs. H. Holbrook, Miss B. Lohmann, of the Associated Charities; Mr. M. R. Roque, of Gary, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. Tucker, of the Boys' Reform School at Blue Plains, D.C.

SOME GOSSIP THAT— "I ONLY HEARD" By And Rivers
Ive heard a lot this week, and I'll try to give you the low-down in the order of popular interest. First of all, folks are talking about the murder of a white policeman by a mob of young Negroes. Here's what some are saying: "That the cop was a bully who used to kick Negroes around in Logan Circle." According to these people, Negroes, when trampled upon, will rise and turn like the proverbial worm.
The vast majority of people who express themselves on the matter, however, consider it "a regrettable incident and a sample of the most dastardly mob violence, at least on the part of the leaders who, allegedly, premeditated the act." According to the views of these people, mob violence is practiced by the whites in the South is no excuse for similar outbursts on the part of Negroes here. There are other remedies which should be exhausted. Violence does not pay, they say.
And the wages of sin—
Next comes President Hoover's "tea party." He reaches into his old-fashioned grab-bag of tricks and pulls a bewhiskered fast one. He invites a Mississippi Negro to dine at the White House. What do the folks think about it? Well, the folks are unanimous in their belief that "Hoover is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of Negroes—appealing for votes." They continue, that "modern Negroes can not be fooled by the hand-outs which the Republican party makes to individual Negroes—so-called leaders of the race. Negroes want jobs; they don't want flattery." It was noted that the President, in executing the laws of the land does not give the Negro a proportionate share of Federal appointments. His underlings in the District of Columbia—the District Commissioners, who are accountable to the President—give Negroes still less consideration."
Negroes constitute about 27 per cent of the total population of the District of Columbia. Negro police men represent about 3 per cent of the total number on the police force, while Negro firemen constitute about 2 per cent of the firefighters. Other departments of the District Government reflect still more the attitude of the executive department of our government toward Negroes. That attitude is discriminatory, and the responsibility rests squarely upon the doorstep of Mr. Hoover.
And furloughs and cuts.
Dorothy Singleton is in New York getting some special dental work, which only Dr. Donowa can give Dr. Donowa was formerly the dean of Howard University's dental school. Now, Louie, don't you wish you were a real good dentist?
And $150 worth of work.
The "dons" are saying that Genevieve Francis West is seeking a divorce with future matrimonial intent. They are naming Clint Burke as the intention.
And Charley's at the Olympics.
The "gang" is saying that Church Young is writing phoney letters to get out of his love affairs. The boys say that Count says he isn't coming on that "tab" any longer. He'll give himself up first. He did.
And lavish garments.
And it is being said that overkind friends of teachers who are attending out-of-town summer schools are making sure that folks back home get the low-down. Tales of big-time parties in the Quaker City have stirred the anger of a few local wives.
And north-bound trains.
And here goes nothing: The janitor of a certain medical school building suspected a doctor-instructor and a female employee of intimate relations during hours. He proceeded to confirm his belief by playing "Peeping Tom," viewing the world from a keyhole. He is supposed to have reported the matter to the dean, who applied the lid. And pleasant dreams.
Mrs. Mary Johnson who lives at 756 Navy Place, southeast, received a written notice from Gaywood Brothers and Garnett, rental agents, to the effect that her rent would be raised on August 16 from $7.50 to $8.50 per month.
Mrs. Johnson reports that her house leaks and that during the rain Monday night, she was inconvenienced to little by water coming through the roof instead of running off as it should do.
This alley was reported in the Tribune on July 29 as one where exorbitant rents were being charged Negroes.
