SCHOOLBOY SHOT WHILE PLAYING IN LUMBER YARD SCHOOLBOY SHOT WHILE PLAYING IN LUMBER YARD Alleged Watchman Held For Grand Jury Action After Inquest Mitchell Botts, 16-year-old junior high school student, was shot to death Friday night while he was playing in a lumber yard at Minnesota avenue and Sheriff road, northeast. A load of shot from a 12-guage shotgun tore a hole in the boy's chest and perforated his heart, liver and other vital organs. Raymond Koerner, 35, white truck driver, was arrested in connection with the shooting and was held for the action of the grand jury following an inquest at the District Morgue Monday morning. Bokts who attends Young Platoon School, was in the habit of playing in the lumber yard with other boys, residents in the neighborhood told the Tribune. Koerner who lives at Seat Pleasant, Md., is employed as a truck driver for Fred L. Watkins, owner of the lumber yard. The man acts as watchman at the lumber yard at times, it was stated by the owner. It was testified by police officers that Koerner did not have a permit to carry a gun and was not registered as a watchman. Body Found Next Day After the boy was shot his body remained in a ditch in the lumber yard until the following morning when it was discovered by Watkins. Koerner in a statement to Detective Sergeant George E. Darnell, of the Homicide Squad, said petty thefts had been occurring at the lumber yard for some time. On Friday night he said he was sitting in a shed near a pile of lumber when he saw four or five figures in the shadow. In getting up to investigate with the gun in his hand with the trigger cocked, he told officers his foot tripped over a pipe causing him to stumble and his gun was discharged. Koerner claims the figures disappeared, but heard a voice exclaim, "they have got me." After he shooting Koerner said he walk- OFFICIAL CHAIN GANG PEONAGE EXPOSED BY BOOK "Georgia Nigger" Written Ey John L. Spivak Disclosures Tortures Evidence that Georgia officially tortures its chain gang convicts with devices similar to the Spanish Inquisit on, is offered in the form of photographs and official documents in the appendix to John L. Spivak's novel, "Georgia Nigger" published-Friday, September 30 by Brewer, Warren and Putnam of New York. The startling photographic record of inhuman punishment inflicted by this state, was personally made by the author during his investigation in 1930-31 of peonage and convict camps in Georgia. The documents are "a few of the many gathering dust in the State Capitol in Atlanta," says Spivak in his foreword to the appendix. These official records reveal an amazing group of torture, heart-breaking scrawled pleas from convict for "mercy as you would ask on the judgment day," death certificates showing "necular" deaths, such as tubercular covict who should have been in a hospital but who died in camp, "heart-failure," "apoplexies," etc. Among the photographs taken by Mr. Spivak and reproduced in the book, are: 1. A convict hanging unconscious on the Georgia rack—a variation of the Spanish Inquisition torture of breaking a person on the wheel. 2. A convict with excruciating pain showing on his face, henging in stocks such as the Puritans used 300 years ago and which historians say are no longer used anywhere in the civilized world. 3. An unconscious boy of about 16 living under the blazing tropical sun "hog-tied," a form of punishment which horrified the civilized world when it was used during the Belgian Congo atrocities. 4. Spiker—twenty pound instruments of torture used by the Russian Cars for convicts. 5.

Thursday afternoon on the Baltimore-Washington Boulevard near Muirkirk. The injured man was taken to Freedmen a Hospital. The car, according to Maryland State Police, answered clear out of the right side of the road and into the traffic lane on the far left side, smashing into the truck. The car was demolished and those in it were almost instantly killed. Freedman's Hospital notified Marilyn State Polices at the Laurel substitution that the colored driver of the car was named James Jones, but no further identification was given. The pricked bodies of the women are removed to an undertak Washington Tribune Mrs. Georgia Williams, of Savannah, Ga., former national committeewoman of Georgia was here at the Committee meeting Saturday and went to the White House, but refused to stand for the picture and refused to pass by and shake hands with the President. HOOVER SPEAKS TO 300 NEGRO REPUBLICANS Renews Republican Pledge And Stands With Negroes For Picture Over three hundred Negro leaders, representing every field of endeavor, coming from every nook and corner of these United States, young and old, stood last Saturday on the magnificent lawn of the White House and listened to a message of President Hoover, to whom their brilliant spokesmen had pledged an unswerving loyalty in the Presidential campaign. The affair was strikingly colorful and exceeded the largest expectation of even those who knew that the President's message would be a master stroke in the campaign. The pilgrimage to the White House arranged by the Negro "high command" of the Republican National Committee, in co-operation with Raymond Benjamin, close liaison agent of President Hoover, was planned as a part of a national conference held here of Negro Republican leaders and advisors from all over the country. The conference was a meeting of the national Planning Board, composed of the joint membership of the Eastern and Western Planning Boards, and National Advisory Committee for Colored Voters. The message of the President was delivered by him in clear and unequivocal language. He was preceded by Dr. John R. Hawkins, chairman of the local arrangements committee, and second vice-chairman of the Western Planning Board for Colored Voters, who acted as master of ceremonies. Dr. Hawkins presented Rev. Dr. L. K. Williams, first vice-chairman of the Western Planning Board, who introduced Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the spokesman of the delegation. With masterful oratory Colonel Simmons, whose speech seconding the Hoover nomination at the Republican National Convention in Chicago last June electrified the nation, urged upon the President the need for reaffirmation of Republican principles of friendship, tolerance and fairplay toward America's Negro citizenry. Following Colonel Simmons Mrs. Willa R. Townsend, of New Jersey, introduced by Attorney Francis E. Rivers, Eastern advisor for colored voters, spoke in equally stirring fashion for Negro women of the nation. All speakers pledged themselves and the group to work unceasingly for a Republican victory in November. Flanked by Postmaster-General Walter Brown and Lawrence Richey, his confidential secretary, the nation's Chief Executive made a stirring declaration of the principles of equal citizenship rights for Negroes upon which he personally and his party stood.

The President of the United States, Mr. Herbert Hoover, shook hands with some 100 of these chiefs following a series of speechmaking on the rear grounds of the White House, but this reporter was told by many that they refused to shake hands with the Republican standard bearer and frankly stated that they came here merely out of curiosity and not for love of the party of Lincoln and Coolidge. Between Devil and Sea In fact the speech of Mrs. Grace Evans, of Indiana, seemed to strike the keynote when she told the gathering at the Masonic Temple after the White House visit that she "was between the devil and the deep blue sea". She also received a big hand when she stated that she would refuse to tell her constituents to vote for either candidate, but she would most assuredly tell them to vote. "You leaders don't represent the Women Held For "Massaging Pa Detectives Pose As Client And Arrest Wom Establishment For operating a "massaging parlor" at their apartment for white men, two girls, Mabel Elizabeth Griffin and Hortense Elizabeth Alexander, who gave their address as 732 Lamont street, northwest, were held under $300 and $500 bond respectively following a hearing in Police Court Friday morning before Judge Gus A. Schuldt. Both girls demanded a jury trial which was set for October 12. They were represented by Attorney Armond Scott. Detectives C. C. Carver and R. L. Manning of No. 2 Precinct, arrested the two girls when officers received complaints that white men were seen going into the apartment. Before the arrest the girls "operated" their "parlor" at the Whitelaw Hotel, but moved when residents complained of the unusual number of white men visiting the apartment.

"Stop telling people how big you are and begin to realize how little you are", shouted Mrs Evans amid thunderous applause. "Hell of a Fix" It was evident to this reporter that the name of the Mahatma Ghandi received a longer ovation than Mr. Hoover's. Butler R. Wilson, of Boston struck a responsive chord when he told the gathering "we are all in a hell of a fix". The speaker said practically all of the addresses were merely in the form of excuses for the Republican party. An air of pessimism prevailed the whole meeting from the time the first session was held until after the last session closed. A few boos greeted the Honorable J. R. Asbury when he said in an address, "The he slay me, yet will I serve him." Political Gesture It was the first time Mr. Hoover has consented to pose with a colored delegation and many expressed the opinion that this latest move to condescend to be photographed (Continued on page 2) Following Raid On "Marlor" For Men its Needing A "Massage" en Who Operated In Northwest After reaching the apartment one of the officers was prepared for the "treatment" which was to be given in the nude while the other stood watching the procedure. Just before the woman "operator" started the detectives arrested the woman and took them along with their "massaging table" and mattress to the precinct. Advertised For Girls Officers said the women have frequently used newspaper advertisement for young girls to give "massaging" and many girls who called became disgusted when they learned what the "treatments" were. The two women appeared in court. Friday morning dressed in the latest fall fashion and did not appear to be ashamed at their "profession". Miss Alexander was charged with running a disorderly house and "massaging" while Miss Griffin was charged with the latter offense. Many complaints have been registered with police recently of women running disorderly houses for unnatural purposes. Office: 920 U St., N. W. han Be the First Time is E.

Harris, a member of the District bar, was released under $1,500 bond Thursday on a charge of larceny after trust. Harris waived hearing before Police Court Judge McMahon. Harris is alleged to have secured the sum of $120 from J. R. Powell, 1436 Montello avenue, northeast. Trial was set for next week. According to Powell, who is 65 years old, Harris is said to have come to the aged man's house last August and offered his services to prevent the man's home from being sold. Mr. Powell told the Tribune that he had been unable to meet his expenses due to the falling off of his trucking business. He said when the lawyer agreed to save his home he gave Harris a sum of $120. Thinking that his home was secured Mr. Powell said he was shocked when a few days later he was threatened to be put out. He said he went to see Harris and was told that everything was all right. This week he was again told that he must vacate the house. On investigation he found that the money he gave Harris was not applied to the payment on his home, but was charged as fees by the lawyer. He said Harris admitted that he took the $120, and promised to make restitution. Edward Young Rushed To Hospital For Operation Edward Young, an employee of the Cheesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, living at Lincoln, Md., was taken suddenly ill at his home on Wednesday with an acute attack of appendicitis, and was rushed to Casualty Hospital in the car of Rev. P. A. Scott. His physician had ordered an immediate operation, which took place very shortly after the patient arrived at the hospital. The operation was successful and it is expected that Mr. Young will soon recover. Mr. Young is an active worker in the community life of Lincoln, being an officer of Seaton Memorial A.M.E. Church and the Lincoln Vista Fire Association. Mrs. Virginia Smooth Reeves left this week for West Virginia, where she will spend the month of October campaigning for President Hoover.

CHOIR SINGER AND CHURCH TRUSTEE TRAPPED BY WIFE Finds "Other Woman" Hiding Under Bed In Takoma Park House Leading a group of private detectives into a house in Lamonds place, northwest, Takoma Park, Mrs. Georgiana Cobbs, of Halls Hill, Va., trapped her hushand, Alfred O. Cobbs, and Mrs. Ida Wright, 910 New Hampshire avenue, in the house. Cobbs is a trustee of the Liberty Baptist Church and Mrs. Wright is a member of the choir. Mrs. Cobbs and the detectives found Mrs. Wright under a bed in a second-story room. She reluctantly came out when she was confronted by the sleuths and Mrs. Cobbs. The raid was staged by operators of the O'Day Investigation Bureau. According to the detectives, they went to the house about 4:15 Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by Mrs. Cobbs and R. H. Morgan, of Halls Hall, Operators Albert J. Edwards and Furman L. Hurst. Upon their arrival Edwards and Hurst went to the rear of the house and Gerald J. O'Day, Mrs. Cobbs and Morgan went in the front entrance. Cobbs was sitting in the front room drinking from a bottle of red whiskey that was on a table. O'Day and Mrs. Cobbs went to the second floor and after looking around looked under the bed in a middle room, where they saw a woman who said she was Mrs. Wright. Mrs. Wright said she had come to the house to keep an appointment with Cobbs, whom she had known for the past six months. After Mrs. Cobbs had identified her husband and the woman as the suspect they left the premises.

Depression Adds To Liabilities, Cuts Assets Of Chest use a FACE Powder that looks GOOD on Your Face COMMUNITY CHEST FACES DIFFICULT TASK FOR WINTER Member organizations of the Community Chest will this winter face the greatest and most difficult task in their history. The whole social work program of the city will be taxed to the utmost to care for the needs that are even now apparent. Not only will the welfare and relief agencies face added demands, but the character-building organizations, the hospitals and other health agencies will also face additional needs for service. Most of the additional need can be traced to the increase in unemployment. Congress, it is true has appropriated $350,000 of municipal funds for relief of unemployment, to be disbursed through the Board of Public Welfare, but the demands on this fund indicate that it will not last through the winter. Then, too, this fund is available only to able-bodied unemployed and makes no provision for the unemployable, the families broken by sickness, death, widowhood, and other disabilities, all of whom must turn for care to the Chest agencies. Ohphan asylums are taxed to capacity and have longer waiting lists; homes for the aged are in the same condition; hospitals and nursing organizations have more free patients and less people able to pay, therefore increasing their budget while decreasing their incomes. Character-building organizations, which are so important in preserving the morale of the people and in providing wholesome use for their leisure time, face heavier demands for their services at the same time suffering a reduction in income from those formerly able to pay for services.

Boys' Clubs The Northeast Boys' Club and the Boy's Club of Washington and the Christ Child Society's Boys' Club are situated in congested areas in Washington where most of the underprivileges boy of different nationalities live. These boys are the ones who reach the judges' bench of the Juvenile Court—the, unless helped and given something constructive to do in their idle hours, are criminals of tomorrow. The Boys' clubs of Washington are our first line of defense against juvenile crime in the city. Here are a few of the problems which have kept the Boys' Club busier as the unemployment situation grew worse: 1. Demoralized home conditions which result in more boys being pushed out of their homes at night for recreation due to lack of home comforts. 2. Inability of parents to pay their sons' dues has caused a tremendous increase in memberships of the "scholarship type." 3. Helping the families keep their boys and even the fathers in decent shoes. This has been done by teaching boys to repair shoes—the leather used is cheap stuff but fills the need. 4. More petty thievery caused by the lack of necessities in the home. Boys' Clubs have helped curb this as it is mostly the boys of the unemployed who are so engaged. 5. Older boys—20 to 23 years—are given periods in the gymnasium to keep them busy during their many idle hours. These fellows were otherwise and not so wholesomely engaged. It is expected that all of the problems thus listed will be more acute this winter than ever before. Minister To Deliver Sermon On "Seven Seals" The Rev. James Thomas, of Columbia, S.

TAYLOR REFUTES CRITIC'S NEWS ARTICLE REV. TAYLOR REFUTES CRITIC'S NEWS ARTICLE Dear Mr. Editor: In the issue of The Washington Tribune of September 30th, appeared the comments of The Visiting Critic on the services of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church as seen by him on Sunday, September 25th. Believing that the criticisms offered in the article were made in good faith, I am venturing to reply to the end that the truth might be established; confident that you will publish fully my single opinion and the statement of facts following. While I am offering no apologies for the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church and its doings, yet I do honestly question the soundness of anyone's criticisms of any organization or institution, based upon observations made during a single, casual, superficial inspection. Can The Tribune justify its existence as a national spokesman or mouthpiece for the millions of our people in this country by any single issue that one may chance to choose to examine and evaluate? Now, concerning the comments Now, concerning the comments of The Visiting Critic. In the caption and also in the body of the article, The Critic stated that the minister read the entire sermon, and that he was not able to appreciate a manuscript sermon. Did Not Read Sermon It is not my purpose to undertake to defend the manuscript sermon—the millions of volumes of The World's Best Sermons that may be found in the libraries of most of the World's Best Homes would make my poor defense absolutely ridiculous; but the bare fact is that, probably to my discredit, I do not now and never have given myself to the preaching of manuscript sermons. When the Critic wrote, "Pastor reads entire sermon," he had on his desk before his own eyes, the notes which, upon his request, I had taken from my pocket and placed into his pocket—which notes covered three and one-half sheets of note paper, from which I had addressed the congregation for from thirty-five to forty minutes. Now, everyone who knows anything about delivering addresses knows that a thirty-five minute, single-spaced, typewritten address covers about sixteen note-sized sheets of paper (such as I used) if the speaker speaks at the rate of from one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five words per minute; and he also knows that such an address, printed in ten point type on same note-sized paper, or ordinary pamphlet size, will crowd thirteen solid pages. Just how The Critic—a newspaper man, could see on three and one-half sheets of note sized paper, sufficient reading matter to engage the attention of an audience for thirty-five minutes, I must confess, is beyond me. Complimentary Truly I feel that The Critic unconsciously paid me a much coveted compliment when he wrote that I read my entire sermon, when in actual fact I had spoken for a little longer than thirty-five minutes from three and a half note sized pages of notes. The Critic also stated that our church was only about half filled on the occasion of his visit. That is true. But considering the number of members that we have, the size of our auditorium and the fact that it was a Sunday in September we felt that the attendance was rather encouraging. The Critic discovered that we had no choir. Anyone's question concerning our not having a choir would have brought from any member of our regular congregation the information that our choir was not due to make its appearance before the first Sunday in October. In sending this communication, Mr. Editor, I do so confident that you will in the spirit of fair play, give it the same measure of prominence that was given to the article in answer to which I am sending it.

Church Monday night a large audience at Metropolitan Baptist Church heard the faculty, pupils and friends of Williams Institute of Music render its first public recital. Beginning with the singing of the song "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name" followed with prayer by George W. Jones, the musical program began with a piano solo by Miss Lottie Smith, a cornet selection by Thomas Lomax and a pipe organ prelude by Edward Webb, pupils of the William Institute of Music. The faculty was represented by a piano number by T. S. Cherry, head of the Department of Voice; a violin selection by Edward Minor, head of Wind and String Instrument Department; a saxophone solo by Wm. T. Hill, teacher of Saxophone and Clarinet; vocal solos by L. A. Gilmore and Miss Juanita Lee Williams, the secretary of the Institute. Mrs. Judkins, teacher of beginners, played for the chorus and sang with Mrs. Ida Wright, and Messrs. G. W. Jones and B. A. Judkins in the number by the quartet from Liberty Baptist Church, while the Director, William R. Williams directed the Gospel Singing Chorus consisting of Mesdames Amy Cooper, Maurel Daley, Frances Shorter, Maude McDugald, M. Simms, Bertha Sweeney Ethel Brooks, Lucille A. Hawkins; Misses Elizabeth Clay, Lena Butler, A. E. Bell, Bernice Jones, Sarah Nelson, and Messrs. Stanley A. Reed, William Smith, David A. Jones, Grover C. Rhymes, E. A. Seats, C. R. Frazier, Walter Lyons, Lindsay Johnson, and A. A. Renwicks and the Liberty Quartet who assisted The Williams Institute Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Minor, with Mrs. Lufawn Brown at the piano played two very interesting numbers and on the last number cooperated with the gospel singing chorus in the rendition of "Singing In My Soul." The Director of the Institute gave a demonstration of artistic versus gospel singing and showed how a song could be sung two ways and thus please the artistic as well as the spiritual group. Deacon Murray asked for an offering which was for the benefit of the Ideal Working Club under whose auspices the recital was given. After another selection by the Quartet and the singing of "While He's Passing By" and "Everybody Ought to Pray Sometime" by the Gospel Singer Chorus, Mrs. Williams was called for and gave a very interesting final talk and the closing song was repeated and the recital came to an end. Mrs. Iyordel Porter was drafted at the piano in place of Mr. Rodgers and played all of the numbers as if she had been selected weeks before with much practice on the different musical numbers. Asbury Had "Old Folks Day," Sunday; Men's Day Next "Old Folks Day" featured the service at Asbury M. E. Church Sunday. Rev. R. M. Williams, pastor of the church, assembled about forty-five of the older people of the city at the church where they listened to a sermon by the Rev. R. H. Dixon, Evangelist, who is conducting the revival for the church. More than 500 persons partook of the Communion. After the services, the guests were assembled in the dining room and given a fine dinner. The revival will close Sunday night. There has been 12 accessions to the church. The Rev. Dixon will preach a special sermon Sunday morning.

MINOR COLLEGE APPOINTMENTS (Continued from page 9) several schools aggregating $27,016.49 are made available under the one fund provision for the construction of an eight-room addition to the Harrison School. Pastor Asks to Use School The Board received a communication from the Rev. Simon S. W. Drew, pastor of Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, asking permission for the use of some school on week nights and Sundays. Schools suggested were Garrison, Phelps, Cleveland, or Shaw. A recent ruling of the Board prohibiting the use of schools for religious purposes will more than likely cause the request to be refused. The National Symphony Orchestra asked permission to give concerts at the Central High School. The request was granted when it was suggested that the programs be given in some school in Divisions 10-13. 260 Graduates Return The superintendent presented a report showing that a total of 260 graduates of the District high schools have returned to the schools for graduate study. Of this number 102 were in Divisions 10-13, Armstrong has 4; Cardozo, 94; and Dunbar, 4. The statement read: "During the period of the financial depression, however, during the last two or three years, increasing numbers of high school graduates have continued in the schools, particularly because they were unable to secure employment and in some instances because they were unable to qualify for enrollment in college or university. The number of students enrolled now in several of our high schools probably does necessitate the organization of additional sections of students, thereby increasing the amount of teaching to be done." The total enrollment in night schools was reported at 11,504. Of this number 7,986 were in white schools and 3,518 in Divisions 10-13. The enrollment by shools in the colored divisions follows Armstrong (elementary), 120; Armstrong (vocational), 584; Bell, 157; Briggs, 18; Burrville, 84; Francis, 50; Garnet-Patterson, 1,026; Lovejoy, 138; Shaw, 1,241. The colored schools showed a decrease in enrollment of 80. This was thought due to the fact that schools opened earlier this year, and pupils were not acquainted with the early opening. The superintendent reported that permission secured last year for teachers and other school employees to hold outside employment terminated last June 30. The report said: "Every school officer is requested to call the attention of every employee of the Board of Educa tion under his or her supervision to the rules of the Board of Education governing employment outside the school department. These rules should be read by every officer and should be made familiar to every subordinate employee. "From the results of inquiries last year regarding sources of income, it was quite apparent that some employees of the Board of Education were engaged in gainful occupation without having secured the permission to do so as required by the rules of the Board. This matter was brought to the attention of officers in a regular monthly meeting, and the superintendent expects every officer to assume full responsibility for the observance of this regulation on the part of those in subordinate positions." The superintendent announced the following committee on safety in Divisions 10-13 for the current year; John C. Bruce, supervising principal, Lincoln School; Miss E. E. Bowie, teacher, Bruce School; N. B. Staley, teacher, Mott School; and Mrs. M. T. Latimore, administrative principal, Bowen School. The enrollment in day schools totaled 28,553 compared with 26,974 last year. Miner Teachers College had an enrollment on the ninth day of school of 3,821; high schools, 3,821; junior high schools, 4,855; elementary schools, 18,858; vocational schools, 522. Teachers appointed probationary were Mrs. O. B. Clayton, Military Road School; Mrs. A. F. Turner, Morgan; Mrs. L. Y. Robinson, Douglass-Simmons; Miss M. V. Knorl, Douglass-Simmons; Mrs. D. C. Searlock, Crummell; Miss K. M. Steele, Giddings-Lincoln; Mrs. A. F. Coleman, Logan; Mrs. M. J. Dickerson, Young; Mrs. L. A. Brownlow, Banneker-Jones; Miss L. F. Fisher, Harrison-Wilson; Miss H. F.

McGUIRE & SON ETHICAL MORTICIANS WRITER ASSAILS COST OF "JUDGE- MADE LAW" WRITER ASSAILS COST OF "JUDGE- MADE LAW" NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—That judges not only interpret but actually make the law of the land in many cases, and that this judicial law-making entails immense expenditures on individuals and groups seeking to establish basic principles, are assertions by Harry Hibschman, writing in the October American Mercury magazine. The writer cites five to four decisions by the U. S. Supreme Court as showing the court not only intercepts but actually often makes the law. Litigation over minimum wage legislation in various states costs probably not less than $150,000, he reports. In the case of the basic rights of the Negro, Mr. Hibschman cites the expenditure by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of more than $8000 in the New Orleans segregation case "in spite of the fact that the U. S. Supreme Court had held the similar Louisville, Kentucky ordinance invalid ten years before." He goes on to say: "In that earlier case the Association spent only $1340, though its counsel included Moorfield Storey, one of the country's greatest constitutional lawyers, who, of course, made no charge for his services."

I just felt tired and mean all the time. My mother and friends told me it was very dangerous for a woman to have a baby when she felt that way. "I was plenty scared. Even if I lived thru it, I was afraid my baby would be weak and ailing. I was so frightened I just had the misery. My skin was terrible. I had an awful backache and was constipated. I could scarcely do the chores. Even my husband looked at me with pity. Everybody kept telling me what a chance I was taking, I scarcely knew what to do. "About that time an old school friend who has four strong, lovely children, and is the picture of health herself, dropped in to see me. She was shocked by my condition. "Why Ruth,' said she. 'This is all your own fault entirely. It is so easy to help nature and protect both yourself and child!" "But how can I, Martha?' I asked. I just broke down and cried. "Then she told me about a Doctor Caldwell, who attended more than three thousand births in fifty years of family practice without losing a single mother or child!"

HAMPTON ENROLLS 977 STUDENTS By GEORGE A. KUYPER HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.— The sixty-fourth school year of Hampton Institute began last week with an enrollment of 977, including 580 men and 397 women, a total of approximately 100 below that of the previous year. The week before classes began, the Hampton Institute faculty, assisted by a few selected seniors who acted as advisors, welcomed 271 new students. Among these were 132 work-year students, who have come to Hampton for a year of academic work combined with a period of remunerative labor as dormitory and office orderlies, assistants in the laundry and in the building and grounds department. The purpose of this arrangement is to enable young men and women who have not sufficient funds to begin their college education to earn a sufficient amount of money for that purpose, and at the same time to enable them to make progress through early morning, and evening classes toward their academic requirements for graduation. The new students appeared on the campus a week before the old students returned, during which time they were introduced to the many interesting phases of Hampton Institute life, under the direction of their senior advisors. A personnel advisory plan, which was successfully put into effect at Hampton Institute last year, will be continued this year, with faculty members serving as personal advisors to small groups of the new students. Practice Teaching The George P. Phoenix Training School, which accommodates the colored children of the neighboring town $n$ of Phoebus and the colored high school students of Elizabeth City county and which is used as a training school to enable seniors in the Hampton Institute School of Education to do their practice teaching under the direction of a capable staff of teachers, opened with a full enrollment of 308 pupils in the elementary and primary grades and 292 students in the high school. This school is under the combined direction of Hampton Institute and the Elizabeth City county educational authorities. Among the interesting plans for the entertainment of students and faculty this year is a schedule of the music art series which includes several extremely significant names. This series, which has been popular for years with the Hampton Institute family-and its friends, will begin with a concert by the renowned tenor, Roland Hayes, on the evening of November 11. The Christmas concert, which will include selections by the Hampton Institute choir, the Hampton Institute glee club, the Women's Glee Club, faculty members, and a guest artist to be announced later, will take place on a Sunday evening shortly before Christmas. The third concert will be given in Ogden Hall by the famous Spanish dancer, Escudero and his company on January 21. The Barrere Little Symphony will appear at a later date. The annual spring concert, the last one to be given under this series, has not yet been definitely announced. Hampton has welcomed to its campus this fall two important additions to the faculty. Miss Dorothy Hopson has succeeded Miss Harriott Curtis as dean of women. Clarence Cameron White, renowned Negro violinist and music director, has become head of the Hampton Institute's department of music. Edward Martin Held For Grand Jury Under $1,00 Edward Martin, 24, 2132 Eleventh street, northwest, was held for the action of the grand jury Thursday under $1,000 bond after being accused of breaking into the gasoline station of Beltram Barker, Eleventh and V streets, and stealing $49. The station owner testified that Martin who was employed at the station, closed un the night of September 25 and left a window unfastened. The man is alleged to have entered the window the same night and took the money from the cash register. Martin took police of No. 2 Precinct to his back yard and dug up the money where he had hidden it. LAWYER INDICTED FOR MISUSE OF MORE THAN $1,000 Grand Jury Returns Five Counts Of First Degree Murder Joseph P. Neal, a lawyer, 1100 block G street, northeast, was indicted by the grand jury Saturday charged with misappropriating more than $1,000 from trust funds after having been appointed trustee by the court. 5 First-Degree Indictments The jury's report included five first-degree murder charges. Three of the youths arrested in connection with the death of Park Policeman Milo J. Kennedy were among those freed. The youths exonerated in Kennedy's death were Leroy U. Brazier, Grafton Baylous and Walter A. Murray. Kennedy was fatally injured in Logan Circle August 7 when a group of boys attempted to give him a good beating for his arrogant attitude towards colored people sitting in the circle. Three other youths in connection with the policeman's death were held as principals. Those exonerated were named as accessories. Other first degree murder indictments included Viola B. Cray, Butler Settles, Luther B. Spencer, Lawrence King and Sydney Cotton. Mrs. Clay was charged with the murder of Arthur Scott who was burned to death last August when he caught fire from a lighted lamp allegedly throw by Mrs. Clay. Mrs. Clay claimed the man was drunk and turned the lamp over on himself. Stabbed Wrong Man King in a drunken orgy is alleged to have stabbed George Mallory to death when he mistook him for his wife's lover. The stabbing occurred at 1421 W street last month. Had Bloody Knife Setles murdered his common law wife by cutting her throat. The woman, Mrs. Eva Martin, 107 D street, was found dead in bed. Settles denied to police he knew anything about the woman's death, but on the arrival of police he was searched and a bloody knife was found in his pocket. He mingled with mourners around the dead woman and was crying when officers arrived. James R. Anderson, a motorist, was exonerated in the death of a 10-year-old white boy who was killed when Anderson's machine overturned and crushed Francis Kennedy to death at Tenth street and Maryland avenue, southwest, on September 17. Herbert A. Whitney, white, was also freed. Anderson's machine struck the boy when he tried to avoid a collision with an auto driven by Whitney. Ten In Hospital After Eating Meat Which Cost One-Half Cent A Pound RALEIGH, N. C., (CNS)—Following a neighborhood feast on "fresh" sausage last week, ten colored persons were taken to the hospital from the southern section of Raleigh to be treated for poisoning. An investigation revealed that the meat was made possible by the purchase of a 40-pound can of meat for 20 cents. The purchase was made by one of the victims from an unidentified colored man. Following the meal the participants began to fall out one after the other. Dr. C. B. Wilkerson, county physician volunteered the opinion that the can of meat was probably thrown out by a market or packing house as spoiled, and picked up by the man who made the sale. Police, who patrol the areas where the markets are located, said that is almost impossible to have the colored people refrain from taking meat set out on the street by the markets for collections by the city trucks. The condition of the victims at the local hospital was considered favorable and barring complications, no fatalities are expected. Scott-DuBois Libel Suit Again Delayed NEW YORK CITY, (CNS) Tuesday, September 27, Henry Utterhart, attorney for Dr. W. E. B. DuBois was granted an additional 20 days in which to file answer to the $50,000 libel suit brought by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, through his attorneys Powers, Kaplan and Berger, against the editor of the Crisis. This suit for libel and slander follows the publication in the April edition of the Crisis Magazine of an editorial signed by DuBois, in which by insinuation and innuendo, it is alleged libelous and slanderous statements were made regarding the complainant, who is secretary-treasurer of Howard University. Early in July, Dr. DuBois, through his attorney, sought and was granted continuation of the case until September 27, at which time he would file answer to the suit. The 20-day extension is the second which he has been allowed.

WOMAN'S SCREAMS FRIGHTEN WHITE SNATCH THIEF Pocketbook Grabber Held For Grand Jury Under $1,000 Bond Fred B. Smithwich, a white man, was held for the action of the grand jury under $1,000 bond following a preliminary hearing in Police Court Friday morning before Judge Gus A. Schmidt on a charge of attempt ing to snatch the pocket book of Mrs. Mamie E. Better while she and a goup of friends were waiting for a street car on the corner of Sixth and C streets, southeast, Wednesday about 11 o'clock. Mrs. Better who lives at 513 Virginia avenue is past daughter ruler of Forest Temple and was in company with Mrs. Florence Brown, 739 Sixth street, southeast, and Mrs. Carrie Better. All testified that two white men approached them from an opposite corner after leaving an automobile. Smithwhich walking by the three women grabbed Mrs. Better and attempted to wrench her pocketbook from here arm. The screams of the women attracted Arthur Wallace, 732 Navy place, who came to their rescue. The men ran and were purposed by Wallace One of the men, Herbert A. Kerns, is alleged to have struck Wallace in the face. After reaching home Mrs. Better phoned police who later located the white men in an alley. They were identified by Mrs. Brown and the other two women. Mrs. Better was so frightened she required treatment by her family physician Cotton Cloth Available Clothing For Needy (CNS)—Cotton cloth for clothing for the needy has been shipped to 65 counties in 24 States, and will be distributed by the American Red Cross, it was announced here recently. The fabric, made from the 500,000 bales of Farm Board cotton voted by Congress as part of the national relief plan, is available to anyone who is in need of clothing. A questionnaire to Red Cross officials estimated that 8,000,000 persons need clothing. The greatest immediate need is for children's clothing, then for shirts and undershirts for men, and for women's dresses. While an attempt is being made to raise an army of 100,000 volunteers who will fashion the cotton fabric into the needed garments, the desparate need of the families will be met by furnishing the cloth on the homemaker. Many groups are already at work. In some communities this sowing provides work for the unemployed who are paid by piece rate. Dispensaries report that it has been difficult to get the needy to take the substantial, heavy outing cloths, as they insist upon getting the filmsher material and attractive bright ginghams. The State and counties receiving cotton in this shipment are: New York—Hergimer, Rochester, Albany, Sayville, Kingston; North Carolina—Roxboro, Gastonia; Ohio—Ottawa, Paulding, Wooster, Youngstown, Findlay; New Jersey—Newark, Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania—Keyser, Grafton; Michigan—Bayne City, Monroe, Stanton; Missouri—Van Buron; Texas—Liberty, Eagle Pass, Henrietta, Dahlart, Dallas, Ennis, Victoria; South Carolina—Easley; Tennessee—South Pittsburg, Dyersburg; Vermont—Barton; Louisiana—New Orleans, Baton Roxon; Indiana—Huntingburg, Sullivan; Massachusetts—Athol, Andover; Kentucky—Williamsburg, Winchester, Greenup, Louisville, Richmond, Harrodburg, Sturgia, Compton; Florida—Deland, Bristol, Monticello; Alabama—Anniston, Georgia—Springfield; California—Santa Rosa, Us- onia, Ventura; Utah—Salena, Monticello; Washington—Houquier, Aberdeen; South Dakota—Belle Gourche, Woonsocket. In Wake County, North Carolina, the demand for cloth by colored citizens, all of them presenting the required orders from recognized agencies, was so great that local Red Cross officials announced that they "were forced to discontinue for the time being, further allotments to Negroes." So until further notice, no more cloth goes to needy Negroes in that county, no matter how needy the local organization might feel them to be. Local citizens plan to file a protest with the American Red Cross against such arbitrary ruling by a local branch. Parents Lock Children In House. Burned To Death NEW BERN, N. C., (CNS)—Two little tots left alone at home for a short while by their parents burned to death last week. Unable to escape the fire because their parents had locked them in, both of the children, one aged five years and the other eight years succumbed to the flames. Purvis Jones, the father of the two, returned in time to witness the house ablaze, but not in time to save them. The cause of the confugation has not been determined. DEANWOOD NEWS V. A.

She is much missed in Deanwood and also by her many friends and relatives. Mrs. Catherine Smart is much improved at her home. 4340 Sheriff road, northeast, where she is recuperating. Deanwood feels the loss keenly of its night school, but the citizens did not evince sufficient interest last year to warrant the opening this year. Now that there is no night school in this section, many persons seem anxious to attend. Had the same persons taken sufficient time last year to attend the night school, there would have been one in Deanwood this year, according to the report from the director of night schools. The community was shocked at the sudden, tragic death of Mitchell Botts, of 913 Forty-third place, northeast, the loving son of Mr. and Mrs. Botts. He was brutally shot down some time during the night by the watchman stationed in the lumberyard of the W. L. Watkins Company. The community extends to the family deep regrets in the loss of a loved one. BARRY FARM NEWS Mrs. L. C.

Following the kick-off the game showed signs of being a nip-and-tuck battle, but midway in the first quarter, following a series of line thrusts, "Tank" Conrad galloped 25 yards, unmolested, for the first six-pointed of the season. Sturgis' try for the extra point from placement was wide of the posts. Gradually the supremacy of the Bears was shown by Captain Wilson, Troupe, Conrad and Sturgis, who ripped gains of 20 and 30 yards, which netted another marker as the opening quarter ended. The second quarter opened with Captain Moore, fighting leader of the Cheyney Wolves, ripping off short gains, but the visitors were forced to punt as a fumble placed them in danger. Gibbs replaced Sturgis at left half following a 15-yard run by Captain Wilson. Conrad added a 25-yard gain through left tackle. A pass from Conrad to Crawford, former New Jersey All-State end, which was received behind goal, netted the third touchdown. The extra point was missed. Eaton substituted for Troupe at full-back and made a 15-yard gain from midfield, closing the first half Score at half time: Morgan, 18; Cheyney, 0. The final score came in the middle of the last quarter following a steady march down the field by the Bears with Captain Wilson running 20 yards. The game ended with the score 38-0. The game was featured by the offensive work of the Morgan team as a whole, but outstanding were Conrad, Capt. Wilson, Troupe, Sturgis, Crawford, and "Jim" Williams, while Capt. Morse, Burrus, Moat, Randolph, and Johnson were the leaders for Cheyney. **Line-up:** | MORGAN | CHEYNEY | | :--- | :--- | | Pottsman | L.E. Randolph | | Williams | L.T. Hijones | | Gallaway | L.G.

C. Bulldogs In Inter- Sectional Clash Greenboro, N.C.-The A. and T. Aggie Bulldogs are pointing to their big intersectional clash with Morgan College here. Friday evening, in the World War Memorial Stadium. The annual game with Morgan is growing to be a regular feud. Morgan having won most of the games that have been played between these two schools, is planning to increase their lead. The Aggies are planning to cut this lead just where it is. This will be probably the first time that the Aggies have met Morgan on equal basis. Many fans think that the Aggies have the best team that they have had since 1927, when they romped to the C.I.A.A. championship. The line from end to end is one of experienced men. The backfield is much stronger than before, having two of the best blocking backs in the association. The big question of this game will be the Aggies' forward wall's ability to stop Conrad. Even if the regulars should fail, Coach Breeaux has a host of material as good as the regulars. This, coupled with their determination, should make an interesting game. NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD HAMPTON PUSHED TO BEAT N.C. STATE HAMPTON PUSHED TO BEAT N.C. STATE Fumbles By Seasiders When In Position To Tally Halts Score BY ENOC P. WATERS, JR. HAMPTON, Va.. In the opening engagement of its 1982 campaign for the defense of its title, Gid Smith's Seaside aggregation fulfilled the hopes of its coaches and the predictions of the sport scribes by overcoming the North Carolina State Tigers with a powerful land attack which resulted in a 19-0 victory on Armstrong Field last Saturday. Slightly more than a thousand spectators watched Hi Harris, captain of the Ironmen, lead his forces in a vicious line attack which by sheer superiority of man power with Harris, Edwards, Carter, and Richmond plunging and running wore down the Tigers relying almost completely on Dooms and Malone, captain of the visitors. In the first quarter it was evident that the Hampton contingency was the more powerful, and the effectiveness of their characteristic tactics predicted the strategy which would be employed by the Seasiders for the rest of the engagement. Booth kicked off and Harris, receiving the ball on the twenty-five-yard line, proceeded in three successive plays to carry it into North Carolina territory where it remained for the rest of the period. The initial drive originating with Hi Harris' reception of Booth's kick-off was uninterrupted until it reached the five-yard line, where Edwards, plunging through for a touchdown, fumbled. Hampton lost the ball on downs and Booth tucked it out to the 45-yard line from where the Ironmen settled down for another drive with Richmond, who had replaced Carter in half position, Harris and Edwards carrying the attack. For the second time, almost at the same spot Hampton fumbled, giving 'the Tigers an opportunity to boot out of the hole. The mighty "band of Gideon" once more with dogged determination started a third drive which started at the 28-yard marker. P. Harris, now in quarter for Beam, gained 5 yards, followed by HI Harris, who doubled his gain. Richmond ripped through for 7 more, and Edwards, invincible line mangle for the Seaside cohorts, charged through for the first touchdown. Richmond drop-kicked the extra point. Hi Harris, stopping a pass by State, started Hampton on the way to the third touchdown to raise the score to 19-0. HAMPTON STATE (N.C.) White L.E. Holmes Parham L.T. Brandon Unthank L.G.

It was a game that showed both teams to be about equal defensively and offensively. However, State was able to garner 11 first downs to four by the Bluefield aggregation. Frank Banks was the best in the backfield for the losers. Time and again, he brought the crowd to its feet with his spectacular off-tackle slants and around-end plays for good yardage. Being a triple threat man he showed, too, advantage running, passing and kicking. Adams, his running mate in the other half-back position, was the next best offensive threat for the Blues. Bounds made the lone touchdown of the game and Young place-kicked the extra point. So State capped the initial game of the season from the formidable array of grid players of Coaches Moore and Jefferson. The Statesmen have their eyes turned to the C. I. A. A. crown. VA.

HOWARD VARSITY WINS SCRIMMAGE HOWARD VARSITY WINS SCRIMMAGE Bisons Show Up Well In Action Against Second String Team Forty men got into action last Friday in one of the hardest and fastest scrimmages seen at Howard University in many seasons, the varsity winning with a score of 19 to 0. With an abundance of material and a carefully planned program of instruction, Coach Verdell has opportunity this year to present the most formidable team in his coaching career. Tom Walker, 1930 varsity center, who was not available last year, played up to expectations, both with and against the varsity. After the second team had held the varsity without gain on two attempts, Hall broke off right tackle for five yards and the varsity's first touchdown. Wade, a freshman prospect, kicked goal from placement. A 20-yard pass from Wade to Kaiser on the goal line accounted for the second touchdown. Wade failed to account for the extra point. A 30-yard pass from Wade to Hall accounted for the varsity's final score as Leggett, playing taekle for the second team, broke through the varsity line and blocked Wade's attempted place kick for the extra point. During the remainder of the scrimmage period substitutions were made so as to more evenly balance the two teams, with every man on the squad getting a chance to show his wares. Bell, who is having his first experience with a colored team, expressed satisfaction in the material available for every position. VARSITY SECOND TEAM Chandler . L.E. Stuart Greenlee . L.T.

Tuskegee Eleven Set For Knoxville Squad Saturday TUSKEGEE, Ala.-It would seem that the Tuskegee-Knoxville football game, which will be played in the Alumni Bowl, at Tuskegee, October 8, will draw a capacity crowd. Already local housekeepers are receiving requests for reservations. The athletic management has also been informed from several sources that the usual normal attendance may be expected. Since the series started in 1926, Knoxville has tied the Tigers once and the other games have been won by the Tuskegee team by a close score. Knoxville has a superior team this year and should inaugurate Tuskegee's opener with one of the most brilliant battles of the season.

BLUE SOX VICTORS OVER CLINTON "9" BLUE SOX VICTORS OVER CLINTON "9" Valenci, Rookie, Heads Attack With Stripling As Season Ends The Washington Blue Sox, led by Louis Valencia, Rookie and Mickey Stripling, wore their batting uniforms, Sunday, as they recovered from an elongated losing streak to ring down their 1932 diamond curtain with an 11 to 9 victory over the natives of Clinton, Maryland, on the latters' premises. Launching a six-run attack in the fourth session, the Blue Sox warriors stepped out never to be headed, despite a Clinton uprising in this same frame, which saw a quartet of markers cross the counting rubber, and the "crying-room" for Sam Westfield, Sox moundsman. Rookie, with a four-base clout and one baser to his account for the day; Valencia boasting a three-bagger and single, his triple, incidently coming in the big fourth with a trio of mates aboard the cushion; and Mickey Stripling cracking out a triple and one-base clout, shared the brunt of the baton work for the Blue Sox. Diggs, Wood and Robinson upheld the banners of the Maryland lads, the former garnering a homer and single in four trips to the plate, while the latter duo had to be contented (not cows) with two in three tries. Of slight importance is the fact that the Washington lads performed at a 422 gait for the season, winning 45 contests in 60 starts.

WILLIAMS RETAINS D. C. GOLF TITLE Wins Amateur Crown By Defeating Louis Walters For Local Crown James A. Williams defeated Louis Walters, 6 and 5, in the winning of the District amateur golf title, last Sunday, over the Lincoln Memorial Golf Course. This is the third consecutive year that Williams has won the District amateur crown. Williams turned back his golf rival, Louis Walters, by holding a seven-hole lead at the end of the outward eighteen holes of the 36-hole final. Williams' victory was not a surprise. Walters perhaps was slightly favored in that he had knocked over Harry Jackson in the semi-final, but Williams' victory over Dr. George W. Adams, Jr., in the morning round had won him many hearts, and the general assumption was that the issue would be close. The weather was perfect, the course fast, and the gallery composed of men who sprinted up and down the green alleys to see the final match. The prizet were presented by Herkert Bethea, president of the Royal Golf Club. The prizes and winners were as follows: James A. Williams, a gold medal for medal score, a 16½-inch cup, and a golf bag. Lewis Walters, cup, runner-up. Philip Lewis, two steel shaft clubs. Second flight: George Thomas, golf shoes. Joseph Taylor, golf bag, runner-up. Wm. Carte, sweater and hose set, consolation.

Will the Sports Editor of the Washington Tribune explain the new rule in football concerning the kick-off formation? Answer. Under the change in the rules for 1932 concerning the kick-off formation. . . "Five men of the receiving team at the kick-off or a free kick . . . are required to remain within five yards of their restraining line until the kick is actually made. . . . In the kick-off this restraining line for the defensive team is the fifty-yard line, therefore five men are required to be between the 45 and the 50-yard, and remain there . . . (within that territory) until the kick is actually made. This rule is supposedly intended to abolish the flying wedge which has done so much personal damage to players on both sides. Players within this restricted zone may be in motion, and they may face in any direction, but they Morris Brown Runs Over Claflin College, 20-0 By William L.

MINER COLLEGE TO HAVE GRID TEAM 37 Candidates Answer First Call At Teachers Institution For the first time in the history of the school, Miner Teachers' College will have a football team. Thirty-seven candidates have answered the call of Coach Jack Young at the Georgia avenue school, and are being sent through strenuous practice drills each evening on the Banneker grounds, Eighth and Euclid streets, northwest. Early season drills have been confined to mere fundamentals of the game as the team is without proper equipment. A supply of suits and other equipment is expected this week, however, and the squad may hold its first scrimmage Monday. Of the thirty-seven men who are striving for positions on the Teachers' College eleven, the majority of the material is local talent. Only 87 boys are enrolled in the school. Outstanding among the candidates are Jack Harlan, John Forsythe and Linwood Ellis, former Cardozo High School star gridironmen, and Bob Taylor, former Dunbar footballer. The school's schedule which has not been completed, is expected to include Howard. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1982 must not leave that zone until after the kick off. In this connection it is interesting to note also . . . "The receiving team may signal for a fair catch and thus be protected from interference even though the kicking team is eligible to recover the ball . . . because each member of that team is behind the ball when it is kicked." ... it's just a If all six of the receiving team who are not in the restricted zone signal for a fair catch, then all six have the assurance that they will not be interfered with in the event that any one makes the catch . . . And, of course, the receiver of the fair catch cannot run after the ball is held by him, due allowance being made for his momentum . . . which under the rules is not more than two feet . . . The penalty for interfering with opportunity for a fair catch is fifteen yards, and the penalty for taking more than two steps after the catch is also fifteen yards.

PLAINSMEN BATTLE EBENEZER ELEVEN Champs And Runner-Up Meet In Opening League Contest POPULARITY CONTEST Pleasant Plains. District champions, versus Ebenezer, 1931 runners-up. It must have been Fate or something like that which caused the drawing of lots to place these two teams together in the first set of games in the new District sandlot football league formed Monday evening. This game will be played Sunday, October 9, at Seaton Park. League games are scheduled to begin at 3 o'clock. The Plainsmen are drilling harder than ever for what will undoubtedly be one of the hardest fought games on their schedule. Sunday's game will probably see Jim Gray in quarter, Red Pine Armstrong and Chang Warren in the half-back berth, with Big Red Fields in full. Captain Carroll Williams at his regular berth in center; Hill and Jelly Jackson at the wing positions; Steamtroller Lee and Joe Smoke Gordon in the tackles; and Bob Walker and Dirty Hill in guards. A team of regulars can be substituted and little or no difference will be noted. BEGINS The formation of the League cancels the game the Plainsmen were to have played against the Mohawks in Alexandria; Sunday.

Problems of divorce sound rather sophisticated for Jackie Cooper, but he makes from them one of the most poignant, gripping roles in his “brief but ‘meteoric: career, in “Divorce in the Family, “Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer’s vivid new -talkie. which comes to the Booker T. Thea- tre. Any who want to see the aspects of divorce from the viewpoint of a child affected by it will find Jackie’s new vehicle a revelation. Aside from that, with its comedy, its thrills, its drama and its heart in- terest, it is one of the most delect- able ‘entertainments in many a moon. ‘ Charles F. Riesner directed the mew production, blending comedy and heart interest skillfully into ‘an engrossing whole. The play is based on an original by Maurice Rapf. Thrilling River Work Jackie plays the role of Terry, the stepchild. Maurice Murphy enacts hs older brother—who gets “puppy love” to Jackie's disgust. There is much comedy in this angle of the play. There axe thrills in a river wreck and rescue; drama in the court sequence where the chil- dren are remanded to their step- father and in the operation where the doctor gives’ his blood to save his _step-son’s life. Lewis Stone is convincing as the archaeologist father and he and Jackie have some remarkable dra- matic scenes, as have also Jackie and Lois Wilson in the mother role. Conrad Nagel is ideal as the crisp young physician, and Jean Parker, Lawrence Grant, Richard Wallace and David Newell also do well in the competent ‘cast. Mrs. Mary Terrell Named Advisor Of G.0.P.

Sweetness is the keynote of the entire musical part of the show.

His orchestra makes it plainly un- derstood that. loud and — blatant founds ace ‘not essential to! ghoul ‘music. Washington is proud. of Claude and his boys, and showed their appreciation by its reception. Supporting the orchestra, as us- ual, is Orlando Robeson, the “Dreamy-Eyed Crooner,” with the sweet tenor voice. Robeson, aided by his studded megaphone, croons with much delight “Paradise,” “You Gave Me Everything But Love,” “Three Little Words,” and “Trees.” Bessie Smith, torch singer, ren- ders “I Only Heard.” Miss Smith's type of songs are apparently losing appeal with the public, and only the popularity of the songs she of- fers makes her entertaining. ‘The sensation of the revue is the dance offering given by the “Four Bon Bon Buddies” from the eight original Bon Bon Buddies, who starred at Connie's Inn in the Big City for nearly two years. Using ropes which they kept continually going as they went through their specialty number, the four boys lit- erally stopped the show. Their act was novel and original, The Three Habits, a much younger group, al- 80 offered a dancing act. The first chorus in the Howard chain is back again and offer some neat step- ping.

On the screen, “Hell's Highway, starring Clarence Muse and Rich ard Dix, is a powerful and thrill ing expose of the conditions as ex- ist today in the prison camps throughout the country. “Liberty Road,” the semi-spiritual theme song of the picture, was composed by Clarence Muse, who also plays a part as a member of the prison road camp gang. Muse, who is also responsible for “Sléepy Time Down South,” worked a rhythmic chant into his music, such as rail- road gangs sing when they are re- moving lengths of 90-pound rail from ars, and just as Roman gal- ley slaves sang centuries ago to make their tasks less hard.

Sunday night I had oceasion to observe the conduct of young boys and girls who habitually congregate around the school building after dark, Couples hug and wrestle in the front door, later pairing off in couples to be swallowed up in the dark shadows in the rear of the school grounds, The language and the body gyra- tions are such that it is hard to believe that, such conduct could long exist in this hold public way in a law-abiding. city—yet. neighbors say that this condition has. pre- vailed for several months. Lights Needed ‘The neighborhood of the school building is) sparcoly lighted ke many of the Negro sections of the city, This condition is inducive to crime and immorality. Several weeks so, while spend: ing a week-end in the neighbor- hood of ‘the Parker-Gray School, we were aroused from our sleep by the plaintive pleading of a man’s voice, We looked out of our win- dows in time to see three men and a woman beating a man, who was later ‘knocked down, kicked, and from our distance it ‘appeared that the beaten man’s pockets were be- ing robbed: We called to the as; sailants, but they aid. no heed t9 us.

RESOLUTION FOR SCOTTSBORO BOYS wy _ At a_meeting of the Scottsboro Unity Defence Committee, a non- partisan, inter-racial group for the defense ‘of nine Seottshoro boys, held at the Urban League in New York réeently, a” resolution was passed calling’upon all Negro citi: zens to submerge their diferente ‘and unite in the defense of the nine Beottsboro ee ‘The resolution rend: “The Scottsboro Unity Deferise Committee,» non-partisan body compored of men and women of al races, creeds and political afflia- tions, calls upon all persons of good will {to submerge their pol eal, greedal and rac I differences, and nite for the purpose of helping to free the Scottsboro. boys. “In the name of humanity, It urges that all co-operate 20 arsuse public sentiment in behalf of these nine innocent Negro boys, and to contribute in every way possible to the organized Scottsboro Defense.” The peeng ver called under the auspices of the National Commit- tee for the Defense of Political Prisoners, an organization of writ- ers, artists and educators, of which Sherwood Anderson, Langston Hughes, Waldo Frank, Claude Me- Kay and others prominent ip ‘American intellectual tife are mem- hers, and which is closely co-oper- ating with the Scottsboro Defense. ‘Among the speakers were Walter Wilson, writer; former’ Southern representative of the American Civil Liberties Union, and a native white Southerner of Tennessee; El- Tiot E. Cohen, secrotary of the Na- tional Committee, a native of Aln- pharma; and, Mrs, Viola Carter, s0- cial leader. “My conscience snifered a terri- fic jolt,” said Mrs, Cartes, “as I sat and listened to white men from Alabama and Tennessee talk about justice for black boys, and saw white women from South Carolina, Texas and Virginia, who have been in the forefront of. this struglge, arking Negroes. to. help. Negro vs. “T feel that. itis amazing that in fa situation of this Kind, white citi zens of this country have gone to the front and demanded in strong, outspoken language, justice for these boys, and that Negroes have been. veluctant to come to the front. I feel that this is, after all, a Ne- gro fight, and Negroes should put their shoulders to the wheol and carry on with as great, if not pee enthusiasm, as their white riends.

Cohen, secretary of the National Commmittes for the De- fense of Political Prisoners, said in opening the meeting, that ‘ino cuse in history has so aroused the sym- pathies of intellectuals and pen sional men and women as the out+ rageous attempt to kill these nine mnocent Negro youngsters.” ‘The Scottsboro Unity Defense Committee is undertaking a huge heneht performance in’ Harlem, New York City, the procéeds of which will go towards the defense of the Seottshoro hoys.

David: Levinson. and~ Bernard Ades, attorneys for Lee hived by the Intérnational. Labor Defense, immediately announced that they would file a petition with the court for % new trial, on the ground that the panel from which Lee's jury was drawn was improperly drawn up, and on the further ground that the existence of Jim-Crow laws and. regulations in, Baltimore County made it impossible for 2 Negro to obtain a fair trial. They say it was impossible fo: the jury not to be influenced by the pre- valence of these gractices. To Appeal Case Should the new trial be denied, Levinson said, the LL.D, will once more take the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals. Lee was charged last’ October for the murder of Green K. Davis, white farmer of Taylorsville, Md., and his family.of four. He barely escaped lynching, being rushed in the jail-house by a lynch mob. The International Lahor Defense went to his aid, and demanded a change of venue from the lynch- ridden Eastern Shore. Levinson and Ades fought for the inclusion of Negroes on the jury that tried Lee, After an all- white jury here, in January, had returned a verdict of guility, the LL.D. law- yers fought for and obtained a re- versal of the decision on the ground of the exclusion of Negroes from juries in Maryland over a period of more than ‘twenty: years. Court Heavily Guarded Eyery door of the Towson court was heavily guarded on the open- ing day of the trial. The judges swarned the people gathered in the court, against any demonstration of sympathy for Lee. Judges ‘and. attorneys for the state united in a tooth-and-nail fight during the trial to prevent the inclusion of Negroes on the ary othe warning of the LUD, that Maryland courts would try to evade the inclusion of Negroes on juries was shown to be justified. In» spite of the. decision of, the Court of Appeals, the court man- eouvered matters to obtain: an- other all-white jury. Negro. Jurors Challenged Three Negroes—Goorge Evans, Roy Nolan and John Pinkney,— ‘whose names were proposed for jury service, were accepted with- ‘out question by. the defense, but removed by peremptory challenges of the state’s attorneys, | Levinson’ demanded. that the ‘murder bill against Lee be squash- don the ground that no Negroes aa been included in the grand jury that found the indictment. ‘The motion was denied. Levinson next demanded: a change of venue, on the ground that prejudice is strong against Negros here. He pointed out the existence of separate sections in the court-room,. separate wash- rooms, ete, The miotion was. de- nied, Judge T. Scott Offutt stating that’ “segregation here is‘tyolun- tary.” Request Denied Levinson demandéd a copy of the’ transcript “of the: first trial, which’ the defense ‘hks. ever. re ceived. ‘The request 'Was denied. Levinson, chadlenese the legality of the jury panels, on the ground of thevexelusion of Negoes from the grand jury found the in- dictment. “The s “went into executive chambers. for. an hour; then returned to deny the motion. Tha court also’ refused to permit Judge Joseph L. Bailey, of Wor- cester County, where Lee was in- dicted, to testtify concerning the method of selecting grand juries in that county, although Judge Bailey had been subpoenaed by the de- fense and was present in the court- room | | : * WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY. OCTORER 7. 1 Lee Refused Wages Judge Offutt refused to}‘alléw the defense attorneys to: question jurors as’ to their’ possible ‘racial prejudices, Levinson raised’ ‘the questions: “Do you consider’ Ne- groes your “social equal?” and “Are you awate of the existence of Jim- Crow. practices in this: county?” ‘This line of questioning was \stop- ped by. the court. pes ‘The tes” nony of the State was based chiefly upon the following contention: that Lee had resented being called a’ “nigger” and a “coon” and had demanded payment of the waes due him as a labor-r on Davis’ farm, The: implication of the state was that a Negro who would resent. insults and would demand payment of his wages would also commit murder. Se apeae os Stimson Defends State De- partment Course, Is | Challenged | a NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—The State Department was “smoked out” this week on the question of control of the black reoublic of Liberia, and in response to a tele- gram from the National Associa: tion for the Advancement of Col ored People declared its intention of insisting before the League of Nations. upon. a white American dictator for this African republic. In veplying to the N.A.A.CP. telegram Secretary of State Stim- son declared the Firestone, Rubber interests “have no immediate con- nection vith ‘the: present. problem”, a statement which is now challeng- ed by an expert who charges that the Firestone interests are secking to hamper and cripple the efforts of President Edwin Barclay in or- der that the United States Govern- ment may find excuse for jpiposing a white dictator on the country. Jnviks telegram to: Sectetaty of State: ‘Stimson, the —N,A.A.C.P. pointed out that. the. Sopioiaess ‘of 9 foreign officials and a Le chief advisor by the League of Na- tions, to help Liberia solve its prob- lems would not impair that’ re- public's sovereignty: but fo give an outside official “dictatorial powers ‘would be, in our opinion, a destruc- tive ‘oceupation similar” to. that which the United: States | has’ car- ried out in another. Negro republic, namely Haiti... We are sure that Negroes of the United States will vigorously resist such an interven- tion, not’ only “béeause’ it will im- pose a great injustice upon the Republi of Liberia, but because it will be utterly inconsistent with the ‘recent opposition expressed by the United States to the’ intervention of Japan in Manchuria,” ‘The N.A, A.C.P. telegram concludes: Hooyer Administration “If the! (State Department does not change its attitude on a ques- tion of vital importanee to colored voters in’ the United States we should not he able to avoid attri- buting its-position ‘to the hostility of the Hoover Administration to the Negro race,” It is further charged, thatthe Firestone Rubber interests, whieh have extensive plantations’ in Li- heria were pressing for a white dictator. In his reply ‘to’ this’ telegram Secretary of State Stimson avow- ed the intention of the U. S. to insist upon full power for its fepresentative in Liberia saying that “our government... in the absence of an adequate grant of authority *by Liberia’ feels that in- ternational cooperation would be futile.” “The ‘Firestone interests,” ac- cording to this statément by Mr. Stimson, “have no immediate con- nection with the present problem.” Challenges Stimson’s, Accuracy The accuracy of "Mr. Stimson’s statement is’challonged ina state- ment issued through’ the “N.AAA, C.P. by Howard W.

H. R. Randolph, of the A.M.E. Zion Church, last week, denied that color enters into the appointment of colored applicants on the Metropolitan Police Force Despite this the Rev. Randolph stated that "I do not deem this true at all. I have the clippings from papers of all applicants that have been appointed in the Metropolitan Police Department for the last two years, and I regret very much to say that not a single colored applicant's name appears on the list at all. By this it seems as though the Police Department is not only passing on the character of applicants, but their color as well. Why is it that all of the police surgeons are white? There should be at least one colored surgeon or doctor on the police surgeon board. The District Commissioners acknowledge the fact that officers draw the certificates from the Civil Service Commission and the Police Department passes on the character of the applicants, which is true, but they denied that distinction is made as to color." Deny Color Bar In a letter to the Rev. Randolph Daniel E. Garges, secretary to the Commissioners, said, "Regarding vacancies in the personnel of the Metropolitan Police Department, and asking that consideration be given to appointing a number of such officers from the colored race, I am directed by the Commissioners to inform you that all appointments to the Metropolitan Police Force are made from names certified by the United States Civil Service Commission as the result of a competitive examination. When these certificates are received from the Civil Service Commission, the Police Department passes upon the character or the applicants. In giving consideration to certificates of the Civil Service Commission, no distinction is made as to color." To Preserve Limoium Linoleum can be made to last indefinitely by polishing with wax once a month instead of continuous scrubbing, according to recent tests by nationally-known manufacturers. The linoleum looked "newer" and fresher after months of experimentation with the wax surfacing, and its strength and lasting qualities were found to be multiplied by the simple and easy methods used. Housewives who follow this plan will find it especially easy to eliminate occasional dirt spots. It takes but a moment to put on a little liquid wax with a clean rag. The scientific "cleaner" contained in the wax loosens the dirt and then evaporates. The protective wax surface is unharmed, but the dirt entirely disappears. 100 Thrills With Beauty ful than it has ever been, make it softer, more glossy and easier to comb, make this simple, inexpensive test: Use La-Em-Strait Hair Dressing for one week.

Thirty Enroll In Class for Cripples at Magruder School Equipment For Improving Disabilities Of Children At School Valued At $3,000; Pupils Are Transported To And From Institution By Bus PETER H. BURKE EMMETT J, SCOTT Are you the parent of an unfortunate crippled child? If so, does he (or she) attend a school especially equipped for the treatment of cripples where he may secure the possible advantages of life under ideal conditions, or does he trod daily to a regular public institution where he is, without a doubt, forced to mix with the children who are able to enjoy all the natural privileges of life, thereby causing him many unpleasant moments? If the latter is the case, a hardship is being worked on your child, and he should immediately be transferred to the Magruder School for Cripples, a private class in the Magruder School located at Seventeenth and M streets, northwest. An efficient staff of eight teachers, well trained in their particular work, care for over thirty crippled children daily at the school. Health equipment in the school is valued at an amount considerable over $3,000. Mrs. J. C. Smith is administrative principal. The school was first organized during the school year 1929-30 under the principalship of Mrs. K. U. Alexander, who retired from the school last year. The children who are members of the cripple class have the following disabilities: infantile paralysis, spastic paralysis, rachiteal paralysis, T. B. joints, congenital malformation, ankylosis, osteomyelitis, Erb's paralysis and fractured femur. The greatest number of cases are pupils who suffer with infantile paralysis. Transported 10 and From School. Each moring the children are transported to the school by means of a big bus which goes around the entire city gathering them from their respective doors. In an event a child is unable to walk to the vehicle, the driver always helps him into the bus and helps him out upon arrival at the school. The children are carried home in the same manner in the afternoons. The class occupies four rooms on the first floor of the Magruder School. Room No. 2 is especially equipped for academic training under Mrs. L. R. Clark; Room No. 4 is especially fitted for academic training and occupational therapy in charge of Mrs. V. G. Romas; Room No. 3 is equipped and used for the preparation and serving of meals, and Room No. 1 is especially fitted for physio-therapy. The latter room is, indeed a miniature hospital. It is equipped with a shower, foot and arm bath, hydro-therapy tub, finger and wrist exercises, infra red, ultra viiolet ray, a shoulder wheel and about NORTHERN VIRGINIA TEACHERS' MEETING The teachers of the Eighth District of Virginia will hold their second conference at the Parker-Gray School, Alexandria, Va., on the 21st and 22nd of October, Teachers from the seven northern counties and the city of Alexandria will gather for an institute and conference. Mr. John C. Walker, of Culpeper county; Mr. Leon C. Baltimore, of Arlington county; Mrs. L. Archer, of Fairfax county; and Mr. W. D. Elam, members of the program committee, are making every effort to present an excellent program for the teachers of this district. Among the speakers on the program will be Sidney B. Hall, State superintendent of public instruction; Garnet C. Wilkerson, assistant superintendent of schools, Washington, D.C.; Mrs. W. C. Mayer, director of primary instruction, Washington, D.C.; and William M. Cooper, of Hampton Institute. Besides these addresses there will be several demonstrations and discussions. Expert teachers from the city schools of Washington, Minor Teachers' College, and Hampton Institute will conduct these demonstrations and lead the follow-up discussions. Children from the different grades in the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1932 A. MISS NANNIE H. BURROUGHS a half dozen beds. These treatment are administered by the teacher in charge of the physiotherapy room. Mrs. E. Menard. The kind of treatments given include, massages, exercises, waking, infra red, ultra violet ray, hydrotherapy and rest. Massaging and exercise predominate *a* the kinds of treatment given, and in most cases the improvemet has been moderate. Besides the medical treatment given by the nurse in charge, the medical inspector examines the children weekly, and a bone specialist from a local hospital comes in once a week to suggest treatment. This specialist, Dr. Phillip Johnson, of Freedmen's Hospital, offers his services entirely free of charge. Opens At 9:50 The following program gives an idea of what is done daily at this institution for the District's cripples. 9:30:10—Opening exercises; 10:10:15—Milk lunch; 10:15:11:40—Academic work; grades 1 and 2 working together; grades 4 to 8 together; 11:40:12 — Recreation; 12:12:30—Dinner; 12:30:1—Recreation; 1:2:25—Academic work. Occupational Therapy: 2:25:21-30—Preparation for dismissal; 2:30—Dismissal. When the children are engaged in seat or class room work they are sent for by the physio-therapist. The matron, Mrs. A. R. Dickerson, prepares the children for treatment and then takes them to the physio-rapist. If the treatment tires the child he is allowed to rest before returning to his class. The children are fed twice daily, once in the morning at 10 o'clock and again around twelve. Mrs. H. G. Perry's dietician and Mr. E. Johnson, her assistant. Nothing but fresh and wholesome food is served. The following are a few sample menus: Lamb stew, boiled rice, kale, bread and butter, milk, peaches. Creamed shrimp, scalloped potatoes, string beans bread and butter, mint, stewed prunes. Stewed soup (with beef), toasted bread, milk, baked apples with custard sauce, Omelet, creamed potatoes, buttered beets, bread and butter, milk, chocolate-cornstarch puddings. Since the organization of the school, the children have been made happy each year at Christmas time by the presentation of little gifts and toys from the Kiawanis Club, a local group. The work of the children which includes the weaving of cloth, rug making and drawings among other things is shown annually at the school. Parker-Gray- School will be used for the demonstrations, and the technique used will be that which can be adapted to any rural situation. There will be demonstrations presenting the most effective way of teaching reading, writing, arithmetic as well as language and the social studies. There will be an introduction of the so-called activity program, and an explanation of how this program may be effectively used in a rural as well as an urban school. The principal phase of these demonstrations will be the follow-up discussions. Here every teacher will have the opportunity to question the procedure and results. Besides the demonstrations, there will be lectures on different phases of teaching. Special music will be provided. There will also be an organization meeting, where officers for the ensuing year will be elected, and a meeting place for next year will be selected. The officers for the present year are: Wesley D. Elam, of Alexandria, Va., president; W. C. Taylor, of Fauquier county, vice-president; Qawold Robinson, of Prince William county, secretary; Mrs. L. Archer, of Fairfax county, assistant secretary; Leon C. Baltimore, of Arlington county, treasurer. The above officers and the following representatives make up the executive board. Mrs. I. Snackum, Arlington county. F. H. PETER H. JUDGE W. C. HUESTON Brooks, Fauquier county; Mrs. Diana Brooks, Fairfax county; Mrs. B. M. White, Prince William county; James Howard, Alexandria, Va.; and John C. Walker, of Culpeper, is chairman. Treated At Hospital Then Disappears A young woman who gave her name as Teresa McSwitzer, 18, of the 2000 block of Eighth street, northwest, was treated at Freedmen's Hospital early this week by Dr. J. C. Payne for an alleged abortion. The woman refused to tell hospital authorities who had performed the illegal operation and left the hospital after being advised to remain for further treatment. Police investigating the case were unable to locate the house where she said she lived. OFFICIAL CHAIN GANG (Continued from page 1) convict chained with an iron collar around his neck-line like an ancient Roman slave. Typical of South It is with reference to these shocking tortures that Mr. Spivak states in his foreword to the appendix, "Georgia does not stand alone as a state lost to fundamental justice and humanity. It was chosen because it is fairly representative of the Carolinas, Florida, Alabama—the whole far flung Black Belt. Nor is the whole south as pictured here. There are many counties where conditions are infinitely better, and too many counties where they are infinitely worse." Official records of these tortures are reproduced in the book. Among these official records is one from Clarke County showing fifty convicts punished by restricted movement in one month. Another official record from Madison County shows nineteen punished in stocks in one month. Death certificates show that in Clark County George Johnson died February 23, 1931 from T.B.; that Clark Riggins died in Pulaski county four days after arriving in camp; that George Neil died in Chatham county a few days after he had complained of "being swelled all over" and was unable to get medicine, to the Prison Commission. Pitiful Among the pathetic scrawled notes sent by the convicts to the Prison Commission reproduced in the book are one from Henry Allur, McDuffa county:" BRIGHTENING up the HOME by Dorothy Snow A thrilling experience for anyone is to restore some battered, old piece of furniture to its original beauty. Perhaps it's only a chain which has been stored away in the attic. Or you may have picked up a quaint old bed for ridiculously little, at some country auction. The sturdy, painstaking craftsmanship of the old days has made many pieces of fine design and good hold together in spite of terrible abuse. Such furniture is worth enovating. And the owner will appreciate their merit more if she has worked on these pieces, herself uncovering them to the bare skeleton, giving them the waxed finish characteristic of fine old furniture, and fresh upholstering where needed. Much of the old furniture was so tronzly built that its frame-work needs little attention. There is, in act, a familiar rule often quoted by furniture craftsmen: "The heavier the underbracing, the older the hair." But some pieces have to be been wiped clean. Several applications of wax—allowing drying time in between—and considerable polishing are necessary if the wood is to regain its mellow beauty. Maintain this beauty with periodic polishing with liquid wax. B 1910 PERRY W. HOWARD thomas Ga Ag 19 1981 Mr. E. L.

Half of "Georgia Nigger" shows how chain gang terrors are used by "the white man's law" as Spivak calls it, to keep both white, but chiefly Negroes in a form of peonage. The story of sharecroppers and peons is vividly told. In reference to conditions such as are pictured in "Georgia Nigger" former Governor Hugh M. Dorssey of Georgia said. "To me it seems that we stand indicted as a people before the world. If the conditions indicated by these charges should continue, both God and man would justly condemn Georgia more severely than man and God condemned Belgium and Leopold for the Congo atrocities." thoroughly blocked; and new webbing, seat springs, cushions, caining or rushing may be needed. With a little patience—and plenty of neat brass nails—the amateur may make an excellent job of unholstering. Scraping off all the coats of paint and varnish is the first step in refinishing the wood surfaces. Take a stout, broad-bladed knife and begin to scrape, having softened the old finish with a liquid varnish remover. It is important that the actual wood should not be scratched or nicked, any more than has already occurred. Rubbing the bare wood with fine sandpaper will smooth its surface. Veneered wood seldom needs smoothing. To give the natural waxed finish, which was most often used, on the original old pieces, coat the wood with paste wax, rubbing it on with a soft cloth after the furniture has been wiped clean. Several applications of wax—allowing drying time in between—and considerable polishing are necessary if the wood is to retain its mellow beauty. Maintain this beauty with periodic polishing with liquid wax. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. William frank little Mcduffia chang gang thomson Ga, Willie F. little KIN Police Board P. J. FINLEY WILSON MANY REFUSE (Continued from page 1) with the group was a political gesture and meant nothing. Mr. Hoover could not very well avoid being photographed with the delegation and many said if he had found an excuse he would have dodged the group. Several pointed out that more important delegations have called at the White House and Mr. Hoover refused to have his picture made with the callers. A high officer in the Republican ranks told me that the group here asked Mr. Hoover to be photographed and when he was told the nature of the gathering the President could not very well make a plausible excuse and finally consented. The President appeared plainly bored with the proceedings on the White House grounds. He referred the prowess of Metcalfe and Tolan in the Olympics and made the usual Hoover speech to the group. The sun was rather hot, the President was bareheaded and plainly showed he would rather have been anywhere else. He was caught so he made the best of it. The chief executive appeared haggard. His face was drawn and a hair cut would have added considerably to his appearance. He was dressed in a brown suit which needed pressing, with a brown tie to match. A white collar and black shoes completed his attire. After the speechmaking some 100 leaders wanted to be next to the President in the picture and as a result the President's secretary and White House guards had some difficulty in keeping Mr. Hoover from being jostled and pushed around by the crowd. Those on the outskirts of the crowd started shoving towards the center and the guards arranged the delegation to assist Mr. Scurlock so all got in the picture. The White House photographers merely took the president and those close to him SEH SENSA SEE THE SENSATIONAL BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL ON PAGE 16 BUY TODAY AND WHEN BUYING MENTION THE Washington Tribune "A 100% Washington Industry" so many were left out of the picture that went in the daily papers. I understand the weeklies will publish a picture with everybody in it even the White House and part of the Capitol. Simmons vs. Mrs. Evans Roscoe Conkling Simmons was introduced as the one who seconded Mr. Hoover's nomination in Chicago at the Republican convention. Mr. Simmons told the chief executive how faithful they were and how his people loved the party. This was in direct contrast to a speech made by Mrs. Evans later when she said the President ought to have been asked what he has to offer the Negro and how much and what will the Negro get out of supporting him. Speakers at a later meeting kept referring to a certain difficulty among their ranks that had been settled and all was "now harmony". Despite the assertions several delegates said all was not well among the rank and file and November 8 will tell the tale. Quite a number were disappointed Sunday with the pay they received and several expressed their dissatisfaction. One woman hinted that she was cut so the higher ups could pocket it. As a whole this meeting was a disappointing one, especially on Sunday when the payroll was short The President's speech was not what many expected and a few said he did not mean it for his past performances certainly did not measure up to what he said to them. Things look rather gloomy for the Republicans in November, in so far as the Negro vote is concerned. TWO DEAD (Continued from page 1) dead white woman was in another car which was owned and operated by Lyle Sholter, white, 25, United States Naval Air Station, Anacostia, Sholter suffered cuts and bruises about the face and body. Women Thrown Out According to testimony by witnesses and police the taxicab was going west on K street and collided with the roadster which was proceeding north on North Capitol street. The force of the impact threw the Caldwell woman out of the machine, while the taxicab turned over on Miss Williams, pinning her head on the sidewalk. Passersby raised the cab off her body and took both injured woman to the hospital. Other passengers were also treated at Sibley, but were later permitted to leave. Passengers in the taxicab testified that they were struck by Sholter's car, while several witnesses, all white, said the taxicab was speeding and struck the machine operated by the white man. Following the inquest Sholter was exonerated and Hutchinson was ordered held for the action of the grand jury. McDaniel said there were four in the rear seat of the cab. He testified that the two girls were sitting in the laps of the boys. There were two passengers on the seat with the driver.

A report of the meeting of the Western Planning Board: in ‘Chicago was given by Emmett J, Scott, of the District of Columpia, and that of the Eastern Planning’ Board by Hon. Francis E, Rivers. Reports from the field were given by leaders of various States. They included Attorney T. G. Nutter, of West Virginia; Mrs, Maria C.'Lawton, of New York; Thomas Whittico, of West Virginia; Attorney Butler R. Wilson, of Mas- sachusetts; Attorney C. R. Rich- ardson, of Indiana; Charles Col- burn, of Delaware; and Mrs. Grace Evans, of Indiana. John P. Davis, of Massachusetts, gave a report on the work among young voters’ or- ganizations. The principal speaker of the af- ternoon session was John J. Hop- kins, assistant secretary of the Treasury, Who represented Secre- tary of the Treasury Ogden Mills, who was absent because of press- ing government business. Mr. Hop- kins stressed the need for concert- ed action in defeating the Demo- cratic Presidential ticket and laud- ed the work of President Hoover during the period of business and economic depression. The entire conference proceeded throughout in a perfectly, harmon- jous aml effective working order. Leaders from all sections of the country seemed bent on working out an effective plan of action for the election of the party ticket. Many persons who had been listed as doubtful in their allegiance to the Republican Party came out in plain language as being solidly be- hind the Hoover-Curtis ticket. A complete roster of the dele- gates present at the conference is as follows: ; ‘Daughter of Founder of Livingstone College Bears Son As Fiftieth Anniver- sary Exercises Progress SALISBURY, N.

He said he went to work at 11:30 p.m. and before he left he told his wife and the boy’s step-mother that Mitchell was not in his room. When he returned the following morn‘ng and was told the boy was still missing he called No. 11 Pre- cinct. He was later taken to the lumber ard where he identified the boy.

Washington is far short of the number of Negroes on the police force and in the fire departments of the District, in keeping with the percentage of population. Negroes number a little more than 25 per cent or one-fourth of the population. According to that ratio there should be 400 Negroes on the police force and 150 in the fire department. Instead of having our quota we have about ten per cent, 40 Negroes on the police force and only 16 in the fire department. When questioned concerning this woeful lack of "equal opportunity" so often spoken of by the Hoover administration, various officials from the Commissioners on down place the blame on the Civil Service Commission. There are divers means of diverting and defeating Negro applicants from an unfriendly physical examination on through to the certification of eligible names. Race prejudice has worked out all of the lies necessary to evade the appointing of Negroes to the police and fire departments in the District. "Taxation without representation" is as much tyrany today as in the days of the Revolution. And to think a government established on that principle would deny its citizens that privilege. The Negroes of Washington and the country over are not asking for special privileges but for President Hoover's oft repeated "equal opportunity." Bring the fire and police departments up to their full quota of Negro citizens in keeping with their ratio of population. OUR MAIL "On Tuesday, September 27, there appeared, on the editorial page of the Washington Times, an article titled—Some "Ancestors". The item carried a picture of two gorillas at play, and said in part: "These two gorillas interest especially members of the African race," since, according to the learned Professor Haldane, "the gorilla is the closest relation—million of years back-of the African." According to the same high authority, "the closest ancestors of the white man were the chimpanzees, less admirable from the moral point of view than these gorillas, the orang-outang was the ancestors of the Mongolian." At least science says so. Science lends a hand to segregation by claiming that all men did not evolve from the same monkey. That is, if such a thing as evolution is true. If it is true, we as members of the African race, and descendants of said gorilla, should thank science and the descendants of the chimpanzee for acknowledging that our Ancestors are more admirable from the moral point of view than the White man's. That is a compliment coming from the Chimpanzee to the Gorilla. Science means to say that millions of years back we humans were just three big happy families in the jungles. The Gorilla, the Chimpanzee and the Orang-outans. We all respected each other and didn't trespass upon one another's rights, nor did the Chimpanzee make advances to the Gorilla during the absence of the male. Our pedigrees were kept spotless. Evolution and Civilization certainly did play a joke on us humans. Look at us now. This undoubtedly would have been a wonderful world had we remained at the Ape stage instead of evolving into man. But science can give no proof for such claims. So don't create a fondness for Gorillas because science says they are your ancestors. True the Orang-outang is found in Barneo, but what explanation ran science give for the fact that both the Gorilla and Chimpanzee are found in Africa. If science is correct, then the white man is an African. If he evolved from the Chimpanzee, why didn't he think enough of his Ancestor to carry them along when he migrated to other parts? And above all, if the African evolved from the Gorilla and the white man from the Chimpanzee and the Mongolia from the Orang-outang why do we still have Gorillas, Chimpanzees and Orang-outongs on Earth. Believe the Adam and Eve story for it carries more proof. It is also more enjoyable to read. RACE PRIDE NEEDED Editor, Tribune. This is a letter to your paper, criticising the critics, and different articles appearing in last week's copy of this worthy paper. On the first page of the paper is a pitiful story of a mother about to lose the aid from the Board of Public Welfare, and the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. doing all in its power to re-instate that mother within the good graces of the Board. Herein lies my criticism of the N. A.A.C.P. Were that organization to use more time in educating the Negro to look after himself and not expect as much from the other race, it would do more good than it is now doing. There are enough Negroes in this city alone, if any race love existed among them, to look after all of their suffering and the other race could go to the devil with its beaverudging aid. half-heart- FOUR Editor, Tribune: Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. 920 U Street, N.W.

Instead, the N.A.A.C.P. is serving to make parasites of a people, fully competent to look after themselves. There are enough Negroes employed and buying the white man's goods, to employ four-fifths of the Negroes walking around without jobs and homes. Negroes throw away enough money, foolishly, in playing the numbers, buying cheap Jew clothes, big cars, and showing off, generally, to supply any number of their poor with good living. The N.A.A.C.P. could do much good, were their eyes turned away from the other race, and placed on the Negro race, weeding out faults, and educating the Negro in race-pride and race-love, giving the Negra a chance to forget the ills and slights suffered from the whites, in trying to build up a nation among themselves. Sixty years of freedom and still begging the other race for favors, still asking for things for which the other race has suffered to obtain. What they have gained through suffering, the Negro will never acquire by asking. Schuyler can preach all he wants about "Black no More." but as long as this world stands, there will be a white race. Before the Negro knew what or who he was, there were black, red, white, and yellow people. Why should the white man be willing and ready to give his power to a man, just because he is black? Were the races to exchange places, the Negro would be just as hard on the white race, as the white race is on him. If the Negro wants more justice than he is receiving, the N.A.A.C.P. can not give it to him. The Negro must do what other races have done. Go in and fight for it, man to man, stand and prove himself equal to any man, by his power. The N.A.A.C.P. can do a great work, by teaching the Negro boys and girls the harm of begging favors, the pride of gaining power and respect by real independence, and no race is independent who depends upon another race for recognition. In the same paper were two or three notes on politics. The Negro in politics, hold the same place as kids playing mothers. The Negro has proven so unreliable with his vote that every man in power holds out the promise of an office to a Negro, just as a mother begiles a fractional child with candy to keep it quiet. Were all the voting Negoes in this country to form a party of their own, and get honestly and solidly behind some man, they could make themselves felt. As things stand now, the Negro is so divided on his vote, that his vote means absolutely nothing to him, except in a few cases. One or two sharp Negroes may get into favor, but God help the others. A Negro party could do more towards curbing injustice than all the N.A.A.C.P.'s in the world. It would be just as hard to get all the Negroes to form a party, as it is to get the President to pose with Negro groups. SPECIAL DELIVERY MESSENGERS DENY STORY. Editor, Tribune: We wish to publish an article in your paper in reference to an article appearing in the morning Herald, October 3, (1832); concerning the Special Delivery Carriers protest against the 81½% cut imposed under the McCarl ruling, which stated that the average estimated earnings of an employee in this department is $50 to $55 every two weeks. We beg to correct and amplify this statement as follows: The Messenger's average earnings according to the cashier's records for the past three months are forty-one dollars, gross, for two weeks, out of which operating expenses must be deducted; these expenses --- Al Slaughter EDITORIAL FEATURES OTHER PAPERS SAY: OTHER PAPERS SAY: CHARACTER ASSASSINS AND RUMORMONGERS The Register (San Antonia, Cal.) The Register (San Antonio, Cali) Of all the 'mongers that infect American communities we believe the rumor-monger to be the most despicable and damaging. This goes for every race, nation or creed. Quite recently, a community in England held a beauty-popularity contest, so the news story goes, and the first prize or crown was won by a young woman of whom some other sister contestants and their mothers were jealous. Unfortunately, the young woman was taken ill of some minor complaint from which she recovered, but while ill, there began ignominious damaging whispers among the 'mongers as to the cause of her illness. So widespread did these whisperings become that authorities took cognizance and it became necessary for the young woman, her family, and her family physician to prove her innocence—not the community to prove her alleged guilt. Her chastity was established but not until her life had been tragically ravished, and she tearfully and dramatically refused the beauty queen crown—its toll was too great. She was the victim of lascivious scandal-mongers. How well this typifies life and leadership in American Communities!! Any man or woman who attempts to rise above the "mob" is a fit target for this licentious tribe. More San Antonians, white and black, would have been done much good had more of them heard the masterful eulogy delivered by Dr. Charles Wesley Abington, of Dallas, over the bier of his beloved WEEK-END MOSAICS By ALGERNON B. JACKSON, M.D. THE DEACON PHILOSOPHIZES One evening in October One evening in October When I was far from sober And dragging home a load with manly pride, My poor feet began to stutter. So I laid down in the gutter And a pig came up and parked right by my side. Then I warbled: "It's fair weather When good fellows get together." Till a lady passing by was heard "You can tell a man who boozes By the playmates he chooses." Then the pig got up and slowly walked away. This little verse, was sent me by a correspondent who is always interesting and well informed. I like it and pass it on to you for your amusement and consideration. I read it to my friend the Deacon and he got a great lesson from it, waxing eloquent in his preachment to me. Strange to say he did not take the prohibition slant suggested therein but saw in it a far greater sociological significance. You and I possibly have our own ideas about whom we should associate with. So has the Deacon, and I have learned to listen to him and admire his fine philosophy. He does not believe in snobbishness nor does he think that there should be no lines of demarcation among groups. He is of the opinion that among Negroes there is after all such a slight difference that for many generations it would be far better not to emphasize in too great a degree the question of caste. His thought is, that for the good of the whole race we all need each other's influence too much to allow an artificial division to force us further apart than we are already. Of course you may not gree with the Deacon's thought but you cannot help but see his point of view when he finally clinches his argument by saying: "You can class and classify all you want to, but when Mr. White Man gets ready to spell the word Negro, he don't use a big "N" for the big folks and a small "n" for us little folks, but uses he same for all of us." running not less than twenty-five per cent. Their actual earnings being about $720 yearly, and knowing that the spirit of this act was to cut only those whose salary range from $1,000 and up. We therefore feel justified in taking an exception to a ruling which applies to any one whose salary is as much or more than the initial $1,000. The average person who would read that article, not knowing our actual income with cost of operating, would undoubtedly be mis-led through such a statement. Noman E. Dale. Secretary. J. W. Tayler.

OCTOBER 7. 1932 friend and this community's benefactor, Dr. C. Harold Stepteau. His plea for proper attitude, charitable dealing with fellowmen should do much to allay the wild, base rumor-mongers, whose consciences are either warped, calloused or ossified and whose greatest happiness seems to come when they are making someone else unhappy or miserable. Character assassins such as some of those to whom he spoke, stop at nothing. They assassinate a live man and then assassinate him after he is dead, and are happiest when making his loved ones uncomfortable. What a shameful circumstances! We urge some common golden rule sense in our community! Laid down long before the coming of Jesus Christ, "Whatsoever ye would that men do unto you, do ye also unto them," is a mighty good square and compass for individuals, churches or groups to follow. If you would have men lie on YOU and spread insidious propaganda about YOU and your loved ones, make your mother, daughter, or wife or husband miserable—then join that bend of scandal-mongering rumor-mongers who talk merely to hear their heads rattle, or to see someone dragged down in probable shame. But let Register repeat to those of its readers who are wont to follow this course, that GOD IS NOT DEAD, and his law of retribution is as staid and infallible today as when time began. For verily "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." IF YOU CAN SPEAK NO GOOD, TIS FAR BETTER TO SAY NOTHING. cowboy fedora fashioned after a combination of the headress of Napoleon at Waterloo and Mussolino at Rome. Roscoe had a black hat, wing collar and a sweeping gesture to everything he did. Other sartorially perfect gentlemen were Hon. Perry W. Howard, Clarence Vena, of Ohio, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott. The President himself was attired in fall brown. The Republican ladies present took all the cake. There was Mrs. Howard Young, of Baltimore, in black with just a touch of white, a charming hat with a half veil of black lace. The trim figure of Mrs. Wilda R. Townsend of New Jersey was also attired in becoming black for the day sessions and in a lovely rose evening creation at the banquet. Young Republicans were there aptly. So many pretty young ladies present taking care of registration and ushering at the convention that it was difficult at times to proceed with the business of the convention because the older politicians were too busy making eyes. The young Republican League of the District of Columbia had open house at its headquarters in the Masonic Temple for the entertainment of the guests. Raymond Benjamin, "eyes and ears of the President" heard a lot and saw a lot during the day. He was closed all day long with various leaders and stayed until way after midnight at the banquet. Wendell Phillips Dabney, editor extraordinary from Cincinnati, former city paymaster of the Queen City, upset the dignity of the "chief planners" on more than one occasion with murmured comments and scribbled witticisms upon the events of the day. The irresponsible young editor attended all of the sessions and whenever he could get an audience launched into a series of his famous stories of years ago, with the dates advanced to August 1932, when he forgot who was listening. He certainly believed in the "Young Republican Movement" in evidence at this conference. Mrs. Grace Wilson Evans, of Indiana, dynamic leader of club women had her place in the sun, and her threats to stir up the women to demand their proper place in the scheme of things, caused her to receive more than her share of attention from the gentlemen present. All day long she was beaused by the "high command." Beaused but not won, for she made a plea for recognition in proportion to contribution in politics at the close of the session which full-filled the wildest hones of the group of women independents. Mrs. Hattie Curtis Hall, of Borton, was not only one of the most charming women present, but one of the most enthusiastic. All day long she attended closely to everything that went on. She was smart in black crepe with a cranberry hat during the day, and at the banquet wore a crepe chiffon gown in the new red which brought out her closely cropped iron grey hair. Then there was Kell' Miller, the last of the non-partisans, who could not resist the spell of the crowd. He was on hand bright and early and stayed all day, going to the White House where he stood in a long line to shake hands with the President. WORDS HAVE WAYS By Johnnie Williams Here it is four o'clock Sunday evening and my weekly column isn't ready. O. O. Mac Intyre says he keeps about two hundred on hand. Wish I could do that, but, then, he has a secretary, who probably writes columns, too. I have for or five on hand, but on final annalysis, I decided none of them would do. Besides, the editor might be of the same opinion. Editors are queer people, you know, and their opinions are no less so. Most of my tears have been evoked by the peculiarly non-analytical opinions of editors. The word "tears" reminds me of Mahatma Gandhi. I wonder how many he shed while passing through the agonies of that fast. He won too. A truly "Great Soul," that Gandhi. Imagine eighty-four pounds of brawny flesh and bones makning kings and statesmen change their minds. But after all, it is only a matter of sincerity. He is sincerity incarnate. And speaking of "sincerity," you don't suppose Mr. Hoover was lacking in it Saturday when he posed almost brazenly, one would say, considering his offish conduct toward the Negro heretofore, with a colored delegation who called at the White House to pledge their support to him in the coming election Do you?... If he is sincere, he must have had a very sudden change of heart, because since actions speak louder than words and handshakes, he could have shown it in a big way by appointing a colored minister to Haiti. And by the way! The word "action" reminds me of the way a certain cop acted on Pennsylvania avenue last Tuesday. He went, without warning anybody, although hundreds of people were 'around about loco, or crazy, to be exact, and began shooting in all directions. It took three other cops to bring him back to a less dangerous degree of mentality. Of, course they took him to Gallinger Hospital. I see by the papers that he is to be reinstated. People who go crazy might recover. But I don't think that they should be allowed to carry guns and clubs, ever again. Because they could have a relapse. And the word "crazy" reminds me of Liberia. Words have a way with me today. Well, at any rate, it is reported that in this Negro Republic; slavery is being carried on to a shocking extent. That Negro Government certainly must be crazy, don't you think? Because, can't you see, that if this abominable thing is not checked, White Power will go uninvited into Liberia on the pretext of being the "big brother," and turn that little kingdom upside down? Once an influential white man gets there; that settles it! He'll begin industrializing. The American Occupation has industrialized in Haiti. Everybody knows the results. When an American industrializes; he, also capitalizes. He will, then induce the American Government, yes, I'm aluding to Americans, to set up commissions.

There will be commissions and time commissions.

Stimson is even now trying to get the League of Nations to interfere. Those Negroes must not treat one another that way. We'll do something about it! He didn't say it that way, but it implies the same thing. But, as it happened, the League has no money. They're unable to finance an interference. The League is broke. Mexico is withdrawing so that she can save $60,000. Many of the other member nations are behind in their dues. So that's that! Now this word "dues." Gee! Words are funny things. Aren't they? People say "funny" when they actually mean "odd." And I don't want to appear bookish. But as I was saying, Have you ever stopped to think, or have you ever tried to figure out just how much money would be due you if all the money in circulation was equally divided among the citizens? What's that? Never thought about it? Well, I have. That's why I found out. And your share, my dear reader, would be about $39. If you want proof, search up the whereabouts of William Bacon Bailey, Pn. D. He is, among other things, a writer, whose address can be had at the Patent Office in Washington. Or you might write to me. I'd gladly substantiate my statement. Hipley, the "believe it or not" man would bear me out, also. Also, it might interest you to know, especially in times like these, that Uncle Sam has 200,000,000 acres to give away. In case you want your share, just call at the General Land Office building, D. C. Remember, tho, to get this land, or your portion of it, you've got to be both adventurous and pioneerish. And the phrase "in times like these" gives me a somewhat enthusiastic recollection of that HOOVER AND THE NEGRO By Beatrice M. Murphy One hundred and fifty Negro men and women called upon the President of the United States last Saturday, and came away triumphant. Herbert Hoover, Republican nominee for the President of the United States, had at last posed for a photograph with a group of Negroes, and issued a pledge of "equal opportunity and justice" as a traditional sacred trust of the Republican Party for the Negro, that ought to bring in every black vote. And right here and now may we congratulate Mr. Hoover no his diplomacy and and tact? Caught in a tight corner, on the very eve of a national election, when it is stated emphatically by those "in the know" that the Negro vote (which the Republican Party needs so badly this year) is more divided than ever, what else could Mr. Hoover—or any other man in his position who was speaking to the leaders of the people he wanted to influence—do but graciously consent, and make his very splendid speech, which, if carried out in practice, would become as famous in Negro history as the famous Lincoln's Gettysburg address is in American History. What the Negro has to remember, however, before he is swayed by Mr. Hoover's impressive (but evasive) pledge, is, that although (to use the President's own words), the insistence on "the right of liberty, justice and equal opportunity for the Negro, has been traditional in the Republican Party for over seventy years," lynchings are still going on in the South and segregations are still holding sway in Government departments. Southern Negroes are still being deprived of the right to vote; and in spite of the fact that they were unsuccessful, Republicans tried to oust Negroes from the positions of National Committeeemen at their recent National Convention of 1932. That it is not what the Republican Party professes to stand for, but what it is in actual practice that counts. Says Mr. Hoover: "The President of the United States is ever obligated to the maintenance of those sacred trusts to the full extent of his authority." Can anybody truthfully say that Mr. Hoover has insisted to the full extent of his authority on equal opportunity and justice for the Negro? If so, where is the result? We fail to see it. I'm not saying that the Democratic or Socialist or Communist nominee would give the Negro any greater justice or opportunities. They stand on their own merit. I do say, however, that the actions of the Republican party in the last seventy years speak much clearer than the few words of President Hoover uttered before a Negro audience on the eve of elections. Anyone can talk when he has to get himself out of a tight corner. PARAGRAPHS In the game of life the same rules apply as in all other games: just press up close to your purpose until it becomes a reality. The man who learns, becomes a leader. But the man who loops becomes a leaner—the world is full of people who lean on others for a living. As a means to an end, perspiration has a lot of things beaten for obtaining your desire. And finally, in the end, the things that count are the things that you can't count. The thing that has to be done in a hurry—quick—is not always done right. After all, right is never in a hurry. rather genteel person. Cab Calloway, whom I encountered or rather overtook in the alley behind the Howard Theatre, when he was here a few weeks ago. He used the phrase in this manner. Said I: "What are you running from? I'm but a harmless writer. ...I mean I call myself one. I'm trying to interview you for a magazine whose editor said he would buy the story."; Said he: "Well, I'm sorry I skidded when I saw you pushing through that crowd, but in times like these a feller's gotta be careful, you know." To him I must have looked pretty desperate, for I had made myself a rather cheerful pest around the Howard all that week. A doorman or a workman in some such capacity called me a peat. I put the adjective "cheerful" to it, because I was, for once in a lifetime, beyond insult. Oh, they tried to freeze me clear not of Washington—those attendants did, but I laughed it all off, and just kept hanging around. And so on his last night here, I fell all over this Calloway chap just as he was comign out of the stage door. A crowd of human bric-a-brac, common to all stage doors, got between us. I made a few leaps, and seeing me, Mr. Cab made a bee line for his car. I was right behind him. At the eleventh hour the reprieve had come. I didn't intend to miss my chance. And so Mr. Calloway and I had a long chat. I'll tell you about it sometime. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL KELLY MILLER SAYS: KELLY MILLER SAYS: THE BALANCE POWER. The two great political parties are in equipoise. The slightest impressment of force will throw the waving balance one way or the other. If the race could or would vote as a unit, the November election would undoubtedly go accordingly. It is easy to pick out fifteen states in which neither party can reasonably hope to win by a majority equal to the Negro margin. Such populous states as New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Missouri fall within this category. What an opportunity, one might say, to impress the political importance of the race! But the race does not have itself in hand. It can no more control its own vote than can the women, the Jews, of the prohibitionists. All minor groups will distribute their ballots between the major parties in something like equable number. This is inevitable in the absence of some group interest the practical value of a vote is its potential power to change results. A Republican vote in Mississippi or a democratic vote in Vermont has little or no practical value in the eye of the politician. When the issue is in doubt a single ballot might be decisive. Because there are, at this time, so many doubtful states, the Negro votes in any one of them may determine the fate of the election. The coming election is at present in the psychological stage. Politicians are frightened because they cannot tell with any degree of assurance what will happen on November the eighth. This gives the Negro vote a strategic opportunity. If his forces were organized he might play some fine Italian politics. He might bargain with both sides for decided racial advantage. But being unorganized and without control or discipline over the group, the so-called leaders are impotent to command or demand anything. And so his vote will be split between the two parties for whatever incidental advantage the tide of political fortune may bring him. The last four Republicans Presidents have won by such overwhelming majorities that the Negro margin did not count one way or the other. Mr. Hoover won in 1928 by seven million majority. His victory would have been just the same had every Negro in the land voted against him. This will not be so this time. He cannot hope to win without a good re-enforcement from the black ally. In case he happens to win this time, this dependence, let it be hoped, will make him more considerate of twelve millions of his fellow citizens than he has been up to date, although no minority group may expect as much from the second term of a president as from the first. He will go longer need them or his further tenure is blocked by the third term taboo. I do not see how the Negro can reasonably hope to get very much racial con- DIGESTING THE NEWS H9 CLIFFORD C, MITCHELL USEFUL INFORMATION My release of three weeks ago, "Some Negroes in Office," has brought me more direct emmendation, more editorial notes, more-featured positions in the Negro press and more letters of inquiries than any release since I started this column two and a half years ago. In most instances a genuine surprise was manifested in my being able to secure and keep such up-to-date information under my present circumstances. Others inquired about additional information that I might have, and three research organizations wanted to know why I hadn't let them know that I kept such useful information in mind. This release, therefore, is for the purpose of acquiring any individual, firm or organization that may require information of any sort concerning Negroes in America that I am able to supply same at a moment's notice, simply by referring to my files which I have built up through years of spare time efforts and which covers over one hundred and twenty-five thousand subjects. In my files, for instance, can be found the data on every Negro in America who at one time or another has accomplished something that distinguishes him from the crowd. Each subject is classified and indexed according to his or her present station in life. The activities of every racial enterprise in the country are constantly being watched and appropriate notes made in my files. The complete data on every individual or firm who has used any advertising space in the Negro press is to be found in my files and classified according to their requirements. Every editor, writer, columnist and correspondent who has had anything printed in any of the hundred papers that come to sideration from the relected Mr Hoover in light of his treatment during the past four years. As things look now the Democrats have the edge of the situation. Unless the wind charges, Franklin D. Roosevelt will $b_0$ the next President. But the crafty Republicans have a way of changing the wind. We saw them do it in 1896, when Bryan, in September, was surer of the election than Roosevelt is now. We saw the price of wheat mysteriously advance in October 1924 which blighted over-night La Follette's hopes in the West. If a miracle might happen which would put ten million people to work in five weeks, Mr Hoover would go sweeping through the gates. It is of double importance to have the Democrats feel a sense of dependence on the Negro vote in case they carry the November election. Mr. Roosevalt could hardly do less for the Negro than Mr. Hoover has done, and would probably do more if he receives like support at the polls. Woe be to that minority group if any party comes into power against their solid opposition. The Negro now finds himself in the position of the dying man who was uncertain of his destiny. His prayer was "Good Lord—good Devil"—for he did not know in whose hands he might fall. If I had the destiny of the Negro vote in my hand, after balancing the favorable and unfavorable factors in both parties, I would on general principles divide that vote into two comparable parts and cast one part for Hoover and one for Roosevelt. It would be unfortunate for the race or the party for the solid Negro vote to bring about its triumps or defeat. In the meantime the campaign goes merrily on. Both parties have appointed their Negro auxiliary committees. I am glad to note that these two partisan committees divide quite evenly the intelligence, the respectability and the talent of the race between them. I note also with much chagrin that the Grand Old Party has stolen from the National Non-Partisan Negro League many adherents who a brief nine months ago were so viciously extolling its principles. If consistency were a jewel I would decorate these backsliders with brass. I can easily appreciate the call of the wild. The flesh pots of Egypt made a powerful appeal to the famished Jew in the wilderness. I predict that three years from now, if Mr. Hoover wins, they will be quite eager to renew their allegiance to the principles of the Non-Partisan League, if the President does not treat the race better under his second administration than during his first term. If Mr. Roosevelt wins, I will have the on them, which, let me assure my former co-non-partizans. I shall indulge and enjoy. But nevertheless and notwithstanding, I expect to see the racial vote much more evenly divided between the parties than has ever happened hitherto—the evener, the better. me weekly is listed in my files, first according to their journalistic position and then cross-indexed geographically, with the result that on a moment's notice I could contact with an appropriate prospect in any city, town or village in the country. And while my private library consists of approximately one hundred and fifty volumes on the Negro, both current and ancient, I try to keep in my files only such information, compiled from day to day and week to week, that would be of use for current up-to-the-minute reference. All of this information has been studied and compiled purely to keep myself informed in order to enhance the value of my journalistic releases but, if (as the many recent inquiries imply) this same information can be useful to others than I shall be most happy in cooperating with all individuals or concerns who may be in need of such information as I have spent years in compiling. At any rate this release will serve to inform those who wrote concerning the extent of my compiled data on the Negroes in America.

The differences lic in the fact pee slums of the metro- politan European’ city is mellow with tradition, and not without a rathér charming quality of pictur. esape, squalor. | They are. usually inhabited by natives who can count generations back on the same site.” “For these reasons,” continued Professor Robinson, "a deep senti- ment has developed and such areas vigorously | resist modernization, and strangely enough, these blight- ed areas seem to help pay their way in terms of tourist traffic.” “In the United States, on_ the contrary,” declared. Professor Rob- inson; “our slums are without any semblance of picturesque, charm, are populated with a large number of very poor colored people, and a few white people who can perhaps count beck their tenure: no more than six rent payments. It is a place to escape if insomnia or some other disease does not overtake the inhabitants, Instead of being self- supporting, the American taxpayer financially supports a large propor- tion of the expense of the Ameti- can slurs and avoids visiting there as much as possible.” Community Work In concluding the interview, Pro- fessor Robinson stated that “the University ‘that is alive is most sensitive to fundamental communi- ty problems and is flexible enough to penetrate deeply the communi- ties it serves with the benefits of its research. The department of architecture at Howard University takes a forward step into the American Negro. community not simply throug its graduates, but directly. Architecture‘as the wage earning Negro needs it today is not only the effective arrangement of space form, and cplor_in buildings, but also by thoughtful handling, a vers practical and indispensable medium for building secure and sound citi. zenship.” Prior to his year abroad Pro: fessor Robinson made a study o! Negro housing conditions in New York City from a point of view of socio-economics, zoning, and with regard tc the ‘legality of certain types of new construction. Mr. Robinson is a momber of the International Housing Association a master of architecture from Cob umbia, and winner of several na- tional’ architectural prizes.

Phone, Decatur 6262 — —_— North 6823 NEGRO DENTISTS INCREASE 60 PER CENT (CNS)—While Negro dentists in the United States have increased more than 60 per cent in ‘the past decade, statistics indicate that the profession is still far from over- crowded. On the contrary, the dis- tribution of the Negro, dentists throughout the. country as revealed by_ the - occupation statistics for 1930 recently released by the Bu- reat of the Census, Department of Commerce, seem to indicate that there is a great need for colored dentists, in many communities. Negro dentists numbered 1773 in 1930 as. compared with 1109. for 1920. These figures include women dentists. who interestingly enough, show a decrease of 8 or more than 20 percent during the. ten-year period, there being 35 reported in 1920 and only 27 in 1930, instead of the 47 which might be expected on the basis of an increase equiva- lent to that of the male dentists. There. is no means of determin- ing the location of the 27 females practicing dentistry in the country, from the .figures released by .the Census Bureau at this time, but it has been. noted with interest that practically 70 per cent of the male dentists are located in the follow- ing twelve States: Pennsylvania, which leads with 176; New York and Ilinois, next with 156 each; Texas, 99; Ohio, 96; New Jersey, 72; District of Columbia and Mis- souri, each 70; Tennessee, 69; North Carolina, 67; Virginia, 62; Georgia, “59; and South ‘Carolina, Maryland Has 34 In Michigan there are 49 male dentists; Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida, each 45;/ Massachusetts, 40; California, 35; Indiana, 35; Kentucky, 37; Maryland, 34; West Virginia, 22; ‘Arkansas, 29; Missis- sippi, 29; Wisconsin, 6; Oklahoma, 18; and Kansas, 14. There are 2'Negro dentists in Arizona; 4 in Colorado; 13 in Con- necticut? 1 in Delaware, Iowa, and Minnesota; 3 in Rhode Island; 7 in Nebraska; 3 in Washington; 2 in New Mexico, and 1 in Oregon. ‘There are eleven States in which there are no Negro dentists. Each of these has a very small propor- tion of Negro population, ‘They are Idaho, Maine, Montana, Ne- vada, New Hampshire, North Da- kota, South Dakota, Utah, Ver- mont, and Washington. In ‘proportion, to the population of Negroes in the United States, there being only one colored dent- ist for every 6,650 colored persons as compared with one white dent- ist for every’ 1600 white.and non- white persons.’ Invonly three com- munities does the low ration which ‘prevails for, white dentists appear. “Massachusetts, where the ratio. is one to every 1,564 colored persons; and Wisconsin, with a ratio of one colored dentist to every 1,790.° The District of. Columbia -has one. col- ored dentist for every 1,886 colored persons; Nebraska; one for -every 1,964! Rhode Island, one for. every 2,000; and Illinois, ‘one: for. every 2,089-colored persons. ' These com- munities all have practically ali of their Negro populations residing in urban centers. On the other hand, there are sev- ‘eral States where the ratio be- tween dentist and Negro popula- tion shows a great need for addi- tional professional: men, even though the large majority of the Negro apulanisna of these States are membérs of raral communities. In this group’ are Mississippi, with one to 20,446; ‘Stgh Carolina, with one to 18,356; ma, with’ one to 17,252,-and“Arkansas with “one to 16,500. 0.0 * The ayerage ~ Negro. population for evety Neo dentist in’ Pean- sylvania is 2,490; New: York, se Illinois, 2089; “Texas, 8,603; Ohio, 2245 New detsey, 2,900; Missouri, 3,200; “Tennessee,” 6,900; North Carolina, 13,360; Virgimia,; 10,490; California,” 2,316;, Indiana, "3,200; Kentucky, 6,109;' Marylaid, 8,128; West.

Mrs. Dodson reported to police of No. 11 Precinct that the woman promised to cure her failing eyesight. She said the woman was attractively dressed and appeared to be about 25 years of age. The "sorceress" induced Mrs. Dodson to withdraw the money from a bank and secret it in a pillow case on the ground and it would help to restore her vision. Mrs. Dodson said she discovered the money had been stolen shortly after the woman left the house. HOOVER SPEAKS sage was as follows: "I wish to thank you for your coming and for the presentation to one of so touching a statement. "The platform of the Republican Party speaks with justifiable pride of the friedship of our party for the American Negro that has endured unchanged for 70 years. It pledges itself to the continued assistance upon his rights. That the friendship and consideration of the party for the American Negro has borne fruit is evident in business, in the arts and sciences, in the professions—and recently we have seen a great achievement of two splendid youths, Tolan and Metcalfe, in world supremacy in the Olympiad. "It has been gratifying to me to have participated in many measures for advancement of education and welfare amongst the Negroes of our nation. I have had the co-operation of the ablest of leadership from the Negroes themselves in these institutions and movements. No better example exists than the contributions made to the recent White House Conference on Child Health and upon Home Building. I recall with great pleasure this co-operation in the relief of the Mississippi floods, and move recently in relief of drought, and in the sound advice and assistance I have had in relief from the present distress and unemployment.

I shall sustain this pledge given in the first instance by the immortal Lincoln and transmitted by him to those who followed as a sacred trust. The right of liberty, justice and equal opportunity is yours. The President of the United States is ever obligated to the maintenance of those sacred trusts to the full extent of his authority. I appreciate your presence here today as an evidence of your friendship." The President's message was met with spontaneous and overwhelming applause. Following the formal speeches, a posed photograph of the President with the entire delegation was taken by Addison N. Scurlock, Negro photographer of this city. President Hoover was then introduced to each member of the delegation, some three hundred of them, personally by Dr. John R. Hawkins. Later the delegation were entertained by White House attaches who took them through the executive mansion on a sightseeing tour. The Speech of Rev. Williams "We bring to your honored presence a group of loyal Americans of one mind and one purpose. "We recognize that our beloved country is passing through one of the most momentous and critical periods of its existence. We believe, Sir, that the Republican party with you as its titular head as well as the real leader of this nation, have been called to the Kingdom for this crucial hour. "It has been a period frought with frenzy and much unrest, aggravated by this distress of the unemployed and fomented by the willful agitation of some demogogues and designing and acquisitive politicians. "We know the history and record of the Republican Party. We are conversant with its time honored principles and proven policies. "We represent the group in America that has felt most keenly the reactions of this depression. On no element of the population have the burdens of this critical period pressed more heavily. In this matter of employment the black man is almost always the first to be fired and the last to be hired, while in some places he is excluded altogether, except where deliberate advantage is taken of his helplessness. In the matter of relief his representation in "the line" is out of all proportion to his ration of the population. In common with all, other elements which make up America, the black man is concerned about the future and about his share in the benefits to be received from the necessary economic adjustment. "But these things serve only to strengthen our loyalty to the historic principles which are the foundation of our great country and ow Offers Improved LCO superheterodyne EY DOWN IS TO PAY MODEL 71-H $ 69.95 Complete With Tubes NO INTEREST OR FINANCE CHARGES only in the New Philco Static Modifier Distance Switch Illuminated Station Dial Glowing Arrow Station Finder Automatic Volume Control Holder program at pre-arranged volume PHILCO High Efficiency Tables Longer life, greater capacity, less current MILLER fure Co. 8th & Pa. Ave. S.E. Atlantic 6061 have been most effectively maintained by the party of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. It is our deep conviction that in the present crisis the security of the country and of all its elements, whether they know it or not, lies in the continuance of the administration that has thus far so successfully weathered the world-wide economic storm, and our loyal support of the calm, capable and resolute captain who now guides the ship of state. Vast experiments are being made in many parts of the world in reorganizing society for the making of a better day. But in our own land we have every reason to abide by that form of government established by the founding fathers whose constitution is the sufficient safeguard of the safety and welfare of every individual citizen. "The mission of this group, representing all sections of the country is to pledge anew their allegiance to the party of freedom and equal opportunity and to define the issues which compel us in the support of your administration. In this pursuit of the purpose we have selected as our representative Col. Roscoe C. Simmons, of Chicago, whose elquent and inspiring address in seconding your nomination at the recent Republican Convention in that city, is still remembered as the high spiritual note of that great convention." The Rev. Dr. Williams then introduced Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons to the President. "Mr. President: Before you are Republicans around whose fathers and their cause our party was created and formed; citizens against whom the Democratic party was organized. Our story you well know. It is as old as our land. It has touched the lives of all great and shaped our nation to the lines in which it now appears. "We have been told that our party has repudiated the ancient faith and is no longer the communion of human liberty. "We are tongue cursed by the thoughtless and ungrateful few because we hold that Lincoln, though dead, still lives. It is said by unkind men that you, our great leader, the soldier and saviour in the storm and shock of our country's heaviest hour, is no believer in the equality of men, and we were asked to desert our faith and accept the verdict of those who oppose you. We protested and arose to seek you. "We are here to replege the word of fidelity given when our party unshackled both the slave and the nation upon the twin stroke of the sword of Grant and the pen of Lincoln. We come in the darkest hour of our hopes. Distress has overtaken us and it is charged by the enemies of the state that our party seems to have deserted both the principles that sustained it and the object to which in the beginning it was dedicated. The Democratic Party, the evil evangel of government, has degraded us because of fealty to party and outlawed us because in our helplessness it seems that our once stout friends have bowed the knee to Baal. "And yet, here we are to speak to you to remain strong and to continue to acquit yourself as the father of all the people in those trouble burdened times. We wish the people to know you as we see you in the strength of stubborn justice. We ask no higher honor in this present historic contest than to be permitted to help save the nation that set us free and to again victor the party that set our feet on the way of life. "Speak, Mr. President, and say that there is no higher theme than liberty. Tell us again that our President loves justice and will do it. Rededicate today in the trumpet tones of sincere phrase our great party to eternal truth. Dispatch us back to the people with words to stir them to loyalty to you, our leader, and to encourage in the great cause so nobly defended by your matchless endurance." Francis E. Rivers A part of Francis E. Rivers' speech follows: "Mr. President, I have been asked to introduce a speaker, but preparatory to that, I would like to acquaint you with the fact that I was appointed to assist Senator Herbert and Senator Hastings at the Eastern headquarters in New York to get out Negro votes and thus assure your re-election in order that you may continue your great reconstruction program. I have only today been informed that Negroes were to play an important part in the Federal Farm Loan Board and the Home Loan Banks, proving once more that the Republican Party has not abandoned the principles on which it was founded." The Address of Mrs. Wilda R. Townsend Mrs. Wilda A. Townsend said: "Mr. President: I appear before you today in behalf of the Negroes of this country, and I wish to assure you that there are hundreds of thousands of us, who are still true to the party you represent, and shall work hard for the success of the party on November 8. "We are mindful of the fact that the Republican Party came into being for the purpose of destroying human slavery in the United States and of making it possible for every man, woman and child in these States to enjoy equal privileges and opportunities without regard to race or creed. "We are not unmindful of the fact that we are living mid-trying times—times and conditions which have almost changed the thought of the world along many lines. But, Mr. President, such principles as liberty and citizenship rights never change. My people have stood in defense of the nation, and during all the years of our illustrious history, there has been no betrayal of honor or trust on the part of the Negro to the country. "Throughout the years above the close of the Civil War, we have waited patiently for some one to take the lead, and point the way to the destruction of unjust and unlawful discriminations which prevent us from enjoying all the rights of full fledged citizens. "We want you to know that after listening to your pronouncements in your speech of acceptance, that once more courage has sprung up in the hearts of millions of our group, and that we shall do our part to help keep the great Republican Party in power—believing that much of the injustice which pervades the land will be eliminated." "This group before you today, represents the highest type of American citizenship, and we want it known that we can not and will not trust the destinies of the nation in the hands of the Democratic Party. Your wise leadership in times like these will be the daybreak and light of hope to a distressed nation and a distressed world. "Your great pronouncements on child welfare, your efforts to help bring about world peace; your efforts along all lines for home and moral uplift are the elements which will save the world and keep it saved for generations yet to come. The home, the church and the school, all for which your declaration stand, are the things which make the world honor you. "We go back to the days of one of America's greatest citizens, and join with him in saying, "The Republican Party is the ship (for the Negro) and all else is the sea." Thus spoke Frederick Douglass. A storm is approaching, yea; it is here, and that charmed name, "Roosevelt," is being used to mislead us and have us cast overboard. "But we will not be led astray. We shall stay on the ship—the Republican Party. One reason why we are Republicans—there is not a voting place in this great country where a white Democrat voter can't cast his vote; In fact, there is not a place in this country where any and every white man can't vote. But, in many States of the country, the Democratic Party, which is pleading for the Negro voter will not let him vote even for the Party. Mr. President, we do not, as citizens, ask for any special favors; but we will not be satisfied with anything less than that which is granted to all other citizens. We shall plan and work and pray for your re-election; and then hope that we will get a square deal along all lines as American citizens." Va. Union Modern Language Head Returns From France RICHMOND, Va.—With the opening of the 33rd year of college work at Virginia Union University, Prof. John Matthew Moore entered upon his duties as head of the Modern Language Department after an absence of twelve months spent in study. Mr. Moore received a General Education Board Fellowship last year and divided his time evenly between Columbia University and the University of Paris. It is reported that he did outstanding work in French Composition at Columbia, where he was well known as a scholar. He completed the requirements for the Master of Arts degree at Columbia University in January and then went to Paris where he matriculated in the Faculty of Letters of the Sorbonne, studying with some of the famous specialists of France. Here Mr. Moore's work fell in the fields of history, style, grammar and literature. He passed the examinations creditably and received these credits toward his doctorate.

Scruggs Beheaded While Going To Work At Station Here Samuel Barrett Scruggs, 37-year-old Pullman porter, was beheaded by a train at the Washington Terminal Monday evening when he attempted to cross the tracks going to a car on which he was employed. George W. Boswell, conductor in charge of the train, testified at a coroner's hearing Wednesday morning that he felt a slight jar when the train struck the man and immediately pulled the emergency cord. He said the train traveled some 80 feet before it was brought to a standstill. When he returned to the scene where the body was struck he found the top f the man's head beside the track. He was unable to locate the body until the engine had been uncoupled from the car. Scruggs' body was found under the second truck of the car and had to be pried loose from between the wheels. He was killed instantly. Dr. Guy Alexander, Terminal surgeon, stated that the man died of a crushed skull. The head had been cut from the body. Engineer Walter H. Cole, of Hyattsville, testified that he did not know the car which he was pushing had struck anything. The first he knew was when the emergency cord was pulled and the train wheels locked. He said he did not see Scruggs as the man was struck on the opposite side of the engineer's cab window. Lights from another train temporarily blinded the crew, which prevented them from seeing the man approach. William S. Jones, assistant superintendent of Pullmans, said a notice had been posted in the company office forbidding porters to use the tracks, but testimony was brought out that men constantly walk the tracks going to and from work, and no effort had been made to provide safety measures for porters going to their cars. Engineer Cole was held at No. 11 Precinct pending the inquest, but was exonerated by a coroner's jury. Scruggs' death was held accidental. Scruggs has been employed as a Pullman porter for about seven years. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary A. Scruggs, 526 Forty-fourth street, northeast. Funeral will be held Friday at 2 p.m., from Ward Memorial Methodist Church. The Rev. Key, pastor, will officiate.

APPOINTMENT OF MINER COLLEGE TEACHER OPPOSED Board Member Says Rupert Lloyd Has Little Experience Asserting that the most experienced teachers should be appointed to positions at the Miner Teachers College; Mrs. McNeill, member of the Board of Education, refused to vote for the temporary appointment of Rupert A. Lloyd as instructor in French at the college, at a meeting of the board of Education, Wednesday. Mr. Lloyd's name was certified by the Board of Examiners and according to Superintendent Frank W. Ballou, the teacher met the requirements for the position which will be for a period of three months. In objecting to the selection Mrs. McNeill said Mr. Lloyd had little experience as a teacher, and students will suffer as a result of appointing teachers who are not qualified. She pointed out to the Board that a teacher for such a post should have the maximum experience. Dr. Ballou then asserted that Mr. Lloyd would fill the position until a suitable successor could be found. The Board approved of the recommendation with one dissenting vote which was cast by Mrs. McNeill. F. A. Gregory was appointed teacher of applied electricity at Armstrong Technical High School. I am Grw. Protest Enabled. Superintendent Ballou informed the Board that he had written to the Citizens' Forum of Columbia Heights, a white organization, that the superintendent nor the Board could act in reference to having a colored teacher moved from a white block. The white group protested to the Board last August to use its offices to have Miss Ruth E. Moses, 1210 Girard street, ousted from her home. The organization pointed out that the block is all white with the exception of Miss Moses. In reporting to the Board Dr. Ballou stated, that "The matter does not come within the legitimate function of the superintendent or the Board of Education." Dr. Ballou also recommended that the Ten Commandments should not be a part of the educational program in the schools, but should be a part of the religious instruction of the church. The Board had been asked to include this part of the Bible in public school instruction. The Board was informed that the award of contract for a two-room addition and new heating plant at the Crummell School had been given Arthur L. Smith and Co., of Washington for $54,698. May 1, 1933, was set as the date for completion. It was also pointed out that balances found in the construction of (Continued on page 10) Washington Tribune WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE STANDING IN DRUG STORE Proprietor Averts Try By Striking Bottle From Her Hands Walking into the drug store located at Seventh and Rhode Island avenue, Sunday afternoon, Lillian Weaver, 23-year-old housewife, of 1913 Fourth street, northwest, ordered a bottle of iodine which she told the store physician was to be used to treat an injured finger. The doctor, J. T. Dailey, proprietor of the drug store, returned with the medicine and handed it to her, and to his surprise she immediately opened the bottle and attempted to swallow its contents. The quick thought of the doctor prompted him to strike the bottle from her hands, the bottle, half of its contents gone, fell to the floor. The woman was taken to Freedmen's Hospital in a passing automobile and treated by emergency department physicians, who described her condition as undetermined. Police were unable to ascertain the woman's reasons for her attempt at self-destruction. Women Unemployed For Longer Period (CNS)—Longer periods of unemployment have been borne by the women of the United States than the men. It was revealed here by a report of the Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor as a result of a study made of special questionnaires covering the employment experiences of each applicant to 30 placement establishments and placement agencies throughout the past three years. The study showed that married men, although often out of work, tended to remain out of work for shorter periods than the other groups of applicants. Single men lost the most time out of work, and a large percentage of single women had been out of work several times. Though women had longer unemployment than had men, they had not held so many different jobs during the period studied. Half of the married women and nearly half of the single women out of work had been employed on low-grade clerical jobs as their regular occupation. The author of the study in concluding states: "The group appears to constitute a labor supply which is in great part above the average quality. The enforced idleness of most of these workers is due, not to their unfitness for work, but to the inability of business and industry to absorb these capable and willing workers!" MINER TEACHERS' COLLEGE RECORDS 507 ENROLLMENT Registration Reaches Highest Mark Since Change In 1930 There are five hundred and seven preservice teachers now enrolled at Miner Teachers' College, it was revealed Wednesday. This number marks the highest enrollment ever registered by the school since its change to a collegiate basis. Of the 507 students, four hundred and twenty are female while 87 are male. The largest class enrollment is registered in the freshman class, where 176 prospective teachers entered for the first time this year. Thirty-seven of these freshmen are boys. Dr. Eugene A. Clark, president of the school, called a special assembly last week at which he addressed the new students urging them to remain in the school until they had completed the prescribed four-year course. One hundred and forty-one, 114 of which are female, are enrolled in the sophomore class. The junior class has an enrollment of 97, 76 of whom are female. For the first time since the school was changed from a normal school to a college in 1930, Teachers' College will have a graduating class in June, 1933. The enrollment in the school's initial senior class registers 83, 78 girls and 5 boys. Thirteen students in the college are pursuing special subjects for additional credits and are unclassified, making the total enrollment 507. This year's enrollment is an increase of over 100, according to last year's figures.

COLUMBIA TEMPLE CONTEST WINNER AWARDED NEW CAR Presentation Of Late Model Ford Made By Exalted Ruler With a large gathering of members, friends and well-wishers present, the Columbia Lodge of Elks, No. 85, presented to Past Daughter Ruler Alethya Berry Williams, a new 1932 Model Ford sedan at the lodge home, 301 Rhode Island avenue, northwest, Sunday. Mrs. Williams was adjudged the most popular daughter ruler of four contestants in the lodge's mortgage burning contest held last year. Mrs. Williams joined the Columbia Temple No. 422 in 1926, served as daughter ruler for one year and a half, and has been a delegate to all grand lodge conventions since 1927. She was formerly president of the Marching Club and organized during her rulership the Charity Christmas baskets for the poor and Civil Liberty in her temple. Over 600 members were added to the temple during her period as daughter ruler. In 1931 she served as chairman of the Social Affairs Committee and the committee reported a gain of $650 from social activities. The presentatio nwas made by Exalted Ruler Sylvester H. Epps. Saying, among other things, "Economic security is a keynote to success." Mrs. Williams accepted the Ford with a forceful speech. Professor L. M. Hershaw gave a short talk and introduced other lodge officials who spoke briefly. Treasurer Reports At the regular meeting of the Columbia Lodge, Monday, the report of the treasurer showed a cash balance of $2,103.78 on hand.

MORNING STAR LODGE WILL AWARD AUTO MORNING STAR LODGE WILL AWARD AUTO Will Assist In Dedication Of Virginia High School October 30 Morning Star Lodge of Elks will assist in the dedication of the high school at Arlington, Va., on October 30. The invitation came from the Parent-Teacher Association of the county.

First Meeting Of Y. W. Board Of Directors. Mother And Child Cared For The first meeting of the board of directors, Saturday, was very well attended. The president's report showed strenuous activity during the summer. Many helpful contacts made and a great deal of emergency relief work done. As is not generally known to the public, the Y.W.C.A. has become the last resort for some destitute women and children who could get shelter and help through no other agency. A special noteworthy case is that of a mother and child who has been sheltered here at the "Y" for a number of weeks. The mother has finally secured employment and the child has entered school. The board had to do some very careful thinking about the budget which is to be presented to the Community Chest this week. Every economy consistent with efficient management has been practiced. Miss E. F. M. Merritt, finance chairman, made a very convincing tall to the board memburs about the necessity of putting over the membership drive big. All members agreed with her to do their best. Mrs. M. F. Thompson, membership secretary, in her usual fine form, is reaching many old members and bringing in a number of new members, while Mrs. Cleo Key, chairman, though for the most part confined to her home by illness, is putting over a fine piece of campaigning by means of her phone. A note of good cheer and "Business Up-turn" was injected by the report of Miss A. Eliza Bell, who turned over $70 clear profit from her lawn fete given this summer. This was Miss Bell's maiden effort. The fall programs of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. departments started this week. The Avalon Dramatic Club held election of officers at its regular Tuesday evening meeting. Registrations for all clubs and classes are being received and classes will open when sufficient registrations are enrolled. The Industrial Secretary is in the office every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening at 7:30, and will be glad to meet all women and girls who are interested in joining the clubs and classes. The Industrial Council will appreciate any contribution of clothing and articles for its "Thrift Shop" project. Sunday, at 4 p.m., a fine vase program will be held in Social Hall. Miss Hattie B. Ivey is chairman of religious committee, which arr- anges these Sunday programs. Planning and plugging without a purpose is waste of time—you will never get there because you are not going anywhere. SECOND SECTION SOME GOSSIP THAT— "I ONLY HEARD" By And Rivers Well, little Johnnie (Sex Appeal) Davis is off to Harvard, so they say. Republican political speeches raised the required "geld." What an accomplishment! And just to think, Johnnie proposed to a fair damsel before leaving, gambling his educational future with the mere flutter of a heart. But Johnnie was lucky, the maid said, "No." And her explanation was at least reasonable. The young lady had figured it all out. It would take about $2,000 for the kind of beginning in married life that she wished, and the upkeep would be considerable, she intimated. Johnnie couldn't afford the upkeep, she said, so she decided to save Johnnie the $2,000 he would have used as a down payment in case he had said yes. So Johnmie's in $2,000. That's funny. But don't cry, my boy, new models will be out in January. You might can get a later model at a better "figure." If you don't, believe me, ask Louie. He's had some experience along that line. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and the Hon. "Charlie" Mitchell have established headquarters in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. Both have national reputations and are quite well known locally. They are right in the middle of the "Big Republican Fry." Mr. Mitchell, who has been the United States Minister to Liberia during the past year, is now in charge of the Negro division of the Republican Speakers' Bureau. Mrs. Terrell was announced Wednesday as the advisor of the colored women in the Eastern division. And this column wasn't telling "such big lies" after all. It turns out that Doris really was married. Now, will you take it all back? But where will the sheiks and shebas go if that had man really takes those fixtures out of the Luncheonette? And, just as summer's almost gone, you're still without a hangout. And I can't help repeating. Excuse me if you've heard it. But you know how it is when you're really enthused about something. Well, Washington's going to have some "band" this winter, and I don't mean maybe. Hartwell Cook is going to be Washington's Cab Calloway. And why not? The boy can give Cab "cards and spades," so far as knowing music is concerned. He can teach harmony and rhythm to each member of his band. And the boy can write songs that will be national "hits." Then, he can sing, dance and tickle the ivories. The Casino has a "natural" in Hartwell. I was talking with that youngster the other night while he was working on one of his new numbers, "With You Or Without You." He has some real talent lined up for this year's dance season at the Casin. You can bet it will be entertaining. You will hear "My Gal's Gone," from the Composer's own orchestra. Then you will be the first to hear his latest "hits" which the whole country will be singing months later. "Louie and his pals" have ventured forth again. Of course, I thought they would spend a quiet winter, but seemingly they can't At least, that is what I thought after what happened. Oh, yes, now what did happen? But before we go into that—the other day I read a few lines in the "Red Flag" which went on to say that the writer of this column was in for trouble. Fine! I won't beg around, asking for mercy through underground channels. I'll take it and like it. And who cares? Now what do "Louie and his pals" do when printer's ink smears their faces? Do they "squeal?" You bet. They see the "boss" privately and try to get "things" fixed." But the boss says "he ain't coming." So you better put on the lid. I'm calling all agents, covering all cars, raiding all dives. You had better confine your activities to your regular private gossip (behind closed doors) concerning "Washington women you have known intimately." Dry up, small change! You can't stand investigation—the airing would be just too bad for you. The wind would rattle your bones. Now, is that enough, or do you really want me to get rough? I'm "heading into trouble." Women In Street Fight Two women, Lillian Hawkins, 36, and Zora Deal, 28, were engaged in a street altercation in front of 642 O street, northwest, early this week, resulting in the injury of the former. The woman was taken to Freedmen's Hospital where she was given treatment for a possible fracture of the leg.
