Supreme Court Grants Scottsboro Boys New Trial DePRIEST RE-ELECTED 7 CENTS PER COPY DEMONSTRATORS ARRESTED, FOUR POLICEMEN HURT Justice Sutherland Delivers Opinion of Court; Butler and McReynolds Dissent Decision Said to Extend the Federal Authority Into New Fields The full text of Supreme Court's decision in the Scottbore Case will be found on page ten. The Supreme Court, the highest tribunal in the country, Monday, set aside the conviction and death sentences of the seven Scottbore, Ala., boys. The decision, far-reaching in its importance, will send the cases back to Alabama courts for a new trial. The opinion was delivered in the calm and quiet of the historic court room less than an hour after police and alleged Communists had engaged in a series of battles on the Capitol grounds. Over a dozen demonstrators were arrested following the disturbance. The decision was a 7 to 2 ruling with Justice Butler and McReynolds dissenting in a relatively brief opinion. The case was remanded to the Alabama court, where it is expected a new trial will be ordered soon. Case Reviewed In setting aside the death sentences, the Supreme Court upheld the contention of defense counsel that the boys who were convicted of assaulting two white girls of questionable morals, had not had a fair trial. The decision, announced by Justice Sutherland, reviewed in detail the charges and the grounds on which the appeal was taken. He said in deciding the case it was sufficient to consider only whether the rights of the boys to have competent and interested counsel was denied and whether this infringed the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Justice Sutherland said that the boys, from the time of their arraignment to the beginning of trial, had been substantially denied counsel at a time when such representation was of vital importance in properly preserving the rights of the defendants. He suggested that the cases had been forced to trial without opportunity for proper legal preparation by counsel, even had a definite assignment of counsel been made. Other grounds seeking to have the conviction set aside were passed over by the justice as not necessary to be discussed or passed upon. Justice Sutherland said failure of courts to provide proper legal aid in cases where crimes are punishable by death are "little short of judicial murder." While attorneys were named to represent the boys, the manner of their appointment, he said, constituted merely an "expansive gesture." Had Fair Trial In announcing his dissent, Justice Butler said the seven boys had a fair trial and had been given the benefit of counsel. He quoted from the decision of the Alabama Supreme Court to sustain his position. It must be inferred from the record, Justice Butler declared, that (Continued on page 11) Panic Stricken Woman Enters Tribune Office With Suicide Intent Panic Stricken Woman Enters Tribune Office With Suicide Intent Apparently hysterical because of some domestic difficulty, a neatly dressed woman, tears streaming down her face, rushed into the Tribune office late Tuesday evening, and yelled amid sobs, "I am going to commit suicide, now put that in your paper." Before anyone of the five persons present fully realized the meaning of her words, the woman had left the office and started up U Street. Overtaken at she crossed Vermont Avenue, the woman, who refused to give her name, told a Tribune repeter she didn't want anyone to help her with her troubles. She rushed away and disappeared among the crowd of people watching the election returns near the Masonic Temple. She is said to live in the 1300 block of V Street. Washington Tribune Vol. XII, No. 27 WORKMAN KILLED IN FALL FROM NEW BUILDING WORKMAN KILLED IN FALL FROM NEW BUILDING Geo. Currie Fatally Injured at New Commerce Structure Here George Currie, 35, 505 Twenty-first Street, Northwest; a laborer, was fatally injured when he fell from a ladder while working on the new Interstate Commerce Building, Twelfth Street and Constitution Avenue, Thursday afternoon of last week. Currie was removed to Emergency Hospital, where he was treated for shock and a possible fracture by Dr. Raymond Edmonston, of the hospital staff. Currie died at the hospital, Tuesday. He was pronounced dead by Dr. Crawford Barnett. Death was due to a fractured skull. Following an inquest at the District Morgue Wednesday morning, a coroner's jury after hearing other workers on the building testify, rendered a verdict of accidental death. An investigation revealed that the ladder on which Currie was working near the first floor did not break. Although there were no eye witnesses to the accident, a probe indicated that the man must have slipped and fell. DR. W. H.

Pleading guilty to a hold-up charge, Thomas E. Cheney told Justice Wheat that when he attempted to hold up Arthur J. Middleton at a filling station, October 13, he had only an old pistol which had not been fired for ten years. He said he was out of work and thought he might get some money. He was meted three to five years punishment. James Barnes pleaded his inability to get work in defense of a housebreaking and larceny charge. Barnes entered a building down town and stole two loving cups valued at $25, and a pair of shoes. He will serve from three to six years. To Seek Venue Change for Scottsboro Boys NEW YORK—William L.

Mr. DePriest was one of the few Republican Congressional candidates in Illinois to overcome the Democratic landslide of votes in Tuesday's election. With 139 of the district's 156 precincts reported, Mr. DePriest led Harry Baker, 81,567 to 26,027. Victory for the Negro Representative has been assured. The early returns which showed Baker leading, as was reported over the radio Tuesday night and by the morning papers Wednesday, frightened the friends of DePriest here. However, as later returns trickle in DePriest forges to the front. F. E. Parks, principal of Phelps Vocational School, talked with Mr. DePriest on long distance phone. Wednesday. He said that the Congressman knew Chicago politics and political tricks. He counted on carrying 115 precincts out of the 175 in the first district. Those precincts were later reporting their votes than some of the others, which accounts for the early Democratic lead. However, when the final returns were reported Mr. DePriest ran far ahead of his Democratic opponent. Charles A. Mahoney, of Detroit, who was the Republican nominee for Congress in the first Michigan district, was defeated. DePriest and Mahoney were the only colored Congressional candidates who were regularly nominated.

Young, History Association Secretary, Talks At Cheyney College By GEORGE W. BLOUNT CHEYNEY, Pa.—Dr. Nathan B. Young was the guest speaker at the 11:30 chapel exercises at the Cheyney State Teachers' College last Thursday. Dr. Young, as field secretary of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, is collecting data on various aspects of the life and history of the Negro. He delivers addresses and holds conferences with teachers and citizens to obtain from them additional data and more co-operation in the prosecution of the work. When he arose to begin his address on the subject, "Negro Life and History," Dr. Young received a great ovation. "I am always glad to receive the applause first, because I feel certain that I have delivered that much of my address satisfactorily," said Dr. Young. Speaking with reference to his own school days, he said that he graduated from Talladega College, studied at Oberlin College and Selma University and taught school about ten years before he began to learn that the Negro had played any part in world history. In emphasizing the vital importance of the study of Negroes by Negroes, he stated: "I am trying to sell the Negro to Negroes. I find it a very difficult task to stimulate and encourage the Negro to have faith in and respect for himself. It is easier, by far, to sell the white man, Jews, Japanese, Chinese, and any other race on the face of the earth to Negroes than it is to sell the Negro to Negroes. "Negroes must learn to believe in themselves and think more in terms of Negroes and their own welfare. "You students at the Cheyney State Teachers' College are exceptionally fortunate in that you have Negro teachers to teach you. In all my school days, I never had a Negro teacher and I consider that my greatest loss in connection with my education. Educated Lack Race Pride "Negroes don't think for themselves. We accept very readily the labels placed upon us and the standards set up for us by members of other races. We must stop doing that. On the other hand, the more highly educated the Negro becomes the less race pride he appears to possess." "I have just been looking over some statistics compiled by a competent authority and the following facts were revealed: About one-half of the population of the world is still living below our present standards of living. Only 10 per cent of the people in the world think they think—most of those who do think only think enough to obtain creature comforts; that is, they merely think enough to get something to eat and to wear, the rest of the thinkers are merely quacks, charlatans or pseudo thinkers. They are the leaders of mobs, the riff-raff or the rabble. "Only 5 per cent of the people in the world who think are making a good job of thinking. Of those who do think, only 5 per cent think 50 per cent of the time." Dr. Young said, "Learn to think earnestly, join the efficient thinkers of the world and strive daily to help make the world a safer place in which to live. Think more in the terms of your own life and the kind of work you want to do. Think straight, talk straight, walk straight, look straight, and be a representative citizen." Dr. Leslie Pinckney Hill presided at the exercises and introduced the guest speaker. The music was furnished by the assembly with Miss Full Text of Supreme Court Decision in the Scottsboro Case, and the Dissenting Opinion Frances J. Glasco- at the piano. At the conclusion of the exercises Miss Evangeline M. King commended the speaker for his interesting addresses. Phyllis Wheatley Activities and Announcements Industrial department — basketball practice every Tuesday and Thursday evening.

The industrial secretary will be glad to give further information concerning activities—call or phone. Girl Reserve Department—After the inspirational address of Mrs. Anita Anderson at Armstrong High School la t Wednesday morning, forty Girl Reserves were guests at the "Y" Thursday even- The text of the Supreme Court decision in the Scottsboro case, read by Justice Sutherland, follows: These cases were argued together and submitted for decision as one case. The petitioners hereinafter referred to the case of two white girls, with the crime of rape, committed upon the persons of two white girls. The crime is said to have been committed on March 25, 1931. The indictment was returned in a State court of first instance on March 31, and the record recites that on the same day the girls were arrested and entered pleas of not guilty. Death Penalty Imposed Upon All Defendants Under the Alabama statute the punishment for rape is to be fixed by the jury, and in its discretion may be from ten to fifteen years. In the case found defendants guilty and imposed the death penalty upon all. The trial court overruled motions for new trials and sentenced the defendants in accordance with the state law. The judge by the State Supreme Court. Chief Justice Anderson thought the defendants had not been accorded a fair trial and strongly opposed the motion. In this court the judgments are assailed upon the grounds that the defendants, and each of them, were denied due process of law and the equal protection of the laws, and the defendant, specifically as follows: (1) they were not given a fair, impartial and deliberate trial; (2) they were denied the right of bail; (3) they were denied consultation and opportunity of preparation for trial; and (3) they were tried before juries from which qualified members of their own race were systematically excluded. The judge properly raised and saved in the courts below. The only one of the assignments which we shall consider is the second, in respect of the denial of counsel; and it becomes unnecessary to discuss the facts of the prosecution in the surrounding the prosecution except in so far as they reflect light upon that question. White Boys Thrown From Train in Fight The record shows that on the day when the offense is said to have been committed, these defendants, together with a number of other players, were on its way through Alabama. On the same train were seven white boys and the three Negroes, and two boys tween the Negroes and the white boys, in the course of which the white boys, with the exception of one named Gilley, were on its way. A message was sent ahead, reporting the fight and asking that every Negro be ing. Games, songs and dancing were engaged in. The Girl Reserve club of Southwest Community Center started off with great enthusiasm. Fourteen girls were present and will be guests at the "Y" soon. Blue material here and there can be seen during the club meetings as the girls give their ties finishing touches. Through the invitation of Mrs. Virginia McGuire of Bicentennial committee, ten Girl Reserves, will be ushers for the Pageant "Phyllis Wheatley" which will be given in Armstrong Auditorium, November 19th. Any contributions to the toy hospital will be greatly appreciated. CADET OFFICERS TO HONOR NATION'S DEAD Fifty officers of the Ninth Brigade, Colored High School Cadets, will make a pilgrimage to Arlington National Cemetery Friday morning where wreaths will be placed on the graves of Col. Charles Young, Major James E. Walker and of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The group will be under the command of Col. Kelsey Pharr, of the Ninth Brigate. Public ceremonies will be held with addresses by various spekaers. gotten off the train. The participants in the fight, and the two girls, were in an open gondola car. The two girls testified that each of them was assaulted by six men, and that they were found the seven defendants as having been among the number. None of the white boys was called to testify, with the exception of Gilley, who was called in rebellation. Before the train reached Scottboro, Ala., the two men were arrested and two other Negroes. Both girls and the Negroes then were taken to Scottboro, the county seat. Ward of their coming and of the alleged assault had preceded them, and the two men were arrested and crowded. It does not sufficiently appear that the defendants were seriously threatened with, or that they were actually in danger of, mob violence; but it does appear that the community was one of great hostilities. The Shirvish thought it necessary to call for the militia to be in safeguardance prior to the assault. Justice pointed out in his opinion that every step taken by the militia was accompanied by the military sentence was accompanied by the military sentence. Soldiers Kept in Charge Of Prisoners Continually Soldiers took the defendants to Gadsen for safekeeping, brought them back to Scottsboro for arrangement, returned them to Gadsen, and tried to trial, escorted them to Scottsboro for trial, a few days later, and guarded the court house and grounds at every stage of the proceedings. It is perfectly apparent that the defendant took place in an atmosphere of tense, hostile and excited public sentiment. During the entire time the defendants were in custody, the tense guardary guard. The record does not disclose their ages, except that one of them was 19 and another only 14 or 15 years of age, but the record clearly indicates that most of them were not in custody, are constantly referred to as "the boys." They were ignorant and illiterate. All of them were residents of other states, where members of their families or friends resided. However guilty defendants upon due squiggle might prove to have been, they were, until convicted, presumed to be innocent. It was the duty of the court having their squiggle denied no necessary incarceration of a fair trial. With any error of the State court in involving alleged contravention of the State constitution, nothing to do. The sole inquiry which we are permitted to make is whether the Federal Constitution was contravened (Rogers V. Peck, 318 S. S. 435, 484-484, V. L. Jackson, 272 U. S. S. 435) and as to that we confine ourselves, as already suggested, to the inquiry whether the defendants were in substance denied the right of counsel, and if so, whether the defendants were the sole counsel of the Fourteenth Amendment. Defendants Not Asked Whether They Could Get Counsel First. The record shows that immediately upon the return of the indictment defendants were arraigned and pleaded not guilty. The judge asked whether they had, or were able to employ counsel, or wished to have counsel appointed; or whether they had friends or associates with them in that regard if communicated with. That it would not have been an idle ceremony to have given the defendants reasonable opportunity to communicate with their counsel, and that it would not have been demonstrated by the fact that, very soon after conviction, able counsel appeared in their behalf. We were pointed out by Chief Justice Anderson in the course of his dissenting opinion. "They were non-residents." he said, "and had little time or opportunity to get in touch with the judge." We were scattered throughout two other States, and time has demonstrated that they could or would have been represented by able counsel had a better opportunity been given to the cases judging from the number and activity of counsel that appeared immediately or shortly after their conviction." (222 Aa. at pp. 554-555). To say that the right to counsel being conceded, a defendant should be afforded a fair opportunity to secure counsel of his own choice. Not only was that not done here, but such an opportunity was not given, was either indefinite or so close upon the trial as to amount to a denial of effective and substantial aid in that regard. We were demonstrated by a brief review of the reply. April 6, six days after indictment, the trials began. When the first case was called, the court inquired whether the defendant was guilty. The Attorney replied that he was ready to proceed. No one answered for the defendants or appeared to represent or defend them. Mr. Roddy, a Tennessee lawyer not a member of the local bar, addressed the court, saying that he was interested in that people who were interested had spoken to him about the case. He was asked by the court whether he intended to appear for the defendants and answered that he would not appear with counsel that the court might appoint. The record then proceeds; "The Court: If you appear for these defendants, then I will not appoint counsel; if local counsel are willing to appear and if local counsel will not appear all right, but I will not appoint them. "Mr. Roddy—Your Honor has appointed counsel to the Court. "The Court—appointed all the members of the bar for the purpose of arraigning the defendants and then, of course, continuing to help them if no counsel appears. "Mr. Roddy—Then, I don't appear then as counsel, but I do want to stay in and be ruled out, but this course would not do THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

"Mr. Parks—Of Course, if they have counsel, I don't see the necessity of the court appointing anybody; if they haven't counsel, I don't see the necessity of to appoint counsel to represent them. "Mr. Roddy - I think Mr. Parks is entirely right about it; if I was paid down here and employed, it would be a different thing, but I have not prepared this case. I have not prepared this case for people by people who are interested in these boys from Chattanooga. "Now, they have not given me an opportunity to prepare the case and I am not interested in this case for the bama, but I merely came down here as a friend of the people who are interested and not as paid counsel, and certainly I haven't any money to pay them and nobody I am interested in that had me pay them. I have no money to come down here and pay counsel. "If they should do it I would be glad to turn it over—a counsel, but I am merely here at the solicitation of people who have no knowledge of the procedure without any payment of fee and without any preparation for trial and I think the boys would be better off if I step entirely out of the case according to my way of looking at it. I will be glad to do it for it and not being familiar with the procedure in Alabama." . . . Mr. Roddy laker observed; "I will be glad to do to be of help to them, I will be glad to do it; I am interested to that extent." Appointment of Counsel Referred to as "Casual" "The Court—Well, gentlemen. If Mr. Roddy only appears as assistant that way, I think it is proper that I appoint members of this bar to represent them. I ex-ample the rules. If Mr. Roddy will appear, I wouldn't, of course; I would not appoint anybody. I don't see, Mr. Roddy, how I can make a qualified appointment or a limited appointment. Of course, I would not appoint anybody. If Mr. Roddy will appear any way, well, gentlemen, I think you understand it. "The Moody—I am willing to go ahead to help Mr. Roddy anything I can do under the circumstances." "The Court—All right all the lawyers that will; of course, I would not require a lawyer to appear if— "I will be willing to do that for him as a member of the bar; I will go ahead and help do anything I can do." "The Court—All right." And in this casual fashion the matter of counsel in a capital case was disposed of. It thus will be seen that until the very morning of the trial no lawyer had been named or definitely designated to represent the trial judge or appointed to the trial judge had "appointed all the members of the bar" for the limited "purpose of arraigning the defendants." Whether the trial judge had appointed after if no counsel appeared in their behalf was a matter of speculation only, or, as the judge indicated, of mere anticipation on the part of the court. The judge made for all purposes, would, in our opinion, have fallen far short of meeting, in any proper sense, a requirement for the appointment of counsel. Action of Trial Judge Called "Expansive Gesture" How many lawyers were members of the bar does not appear; but, in the very nature of things, whether many or few, they would not, thus collectively named, be appointed to that or apportioned of responsibility or impressed with that individual sense of duty which should and naturally would accompany the appointing judge, the bar, specifically named and assigned. That this action of the trial judge in respect of appointment of counsel was issued posing no substantial or definite obligation upon any one, is borne out by the fact that prior to the calling of the case for trial on April 6, a leading member of the jury was appointed as the side of the prosecution and actively participated in the trial. It is sure that that did before doing so he must be told that Roddy would be employed as counsel for the defendants. This the lawyer in question, of his own accord, frankly stated to the court; and that he was to be told that faith. Probably other members of the bar had a like understanding. In any event, the circumstance lends empathy to the conclusion that during perhaps the proceedings against these defendants, that is to say, from the time of their arraignment until the beginning of their trial when the proceedings were prepared and preparation were vitally important, the defendants did not have the aid of counsel) in any real sense, although they were aware that period as at the trial itself. (Peace ex bur. Burgess v. Risley, 66 Howe Pt.) (N. Y.) 67; Batchelor v. State, 189, Ind 69, 75. Proper Representation Declared Not Accorded Nor do we think the situation was helped by what occurred on the morning of the trial. At that time, as appears from the colloquy printed above, Mr. Roddy stated to the court that he did not appear as counsel but that he had not been appointed with counsel that the court might appoint that he had not been given an opportunity to prepare the case; that he was not familiar with the procedure in Alabama, but merely came down as a friend of the people who were interested in the matter he thought would be better if he should stem entirely out of the case. Mr. Moody, a member of the local bar, expressed a willingness to help Mr. Roddy in anything he could do under the circumstances. To this the court responded, "All right, all the lawyers that will: of course, I would not require a lawyer to appear And Mr. Moody continued, "I am willing to do that for him as a member of the bar: I will go ahead and help do anything I can do." With this dubious understanding the trials immediately proceeded. The defendants, young, ignorant, illiterate, surrounded by hostile sentiment, haled back and attacked by an unconscious anatomy, regarded with special horror in the community where they were to be tried, were thus put in peril of their lives within a few moments after counsel of responsibility began to represent them. It is not enough to assume that counsel thus precipitated into the case thought there was no defense and exercised their best judgment in prosecution. Whether they nor the court could say what a prompt and thoroughgoing investigation might disclose as to the facts. No attemt was made to investigate. No opportunity to do so was provided. Defendants were immediately harried to trial. Authorities Are Quoted To Uphold Court's View Chief Justice Anderson, after disclaiming any intention to criticize harsh counsel who attempted to represent defendants at the trials, said: "...the record indicates that the appearance was rather pro-secution, and that the defense under the circumstances disclosed we hold that defendants were not accorded the right of counsel in any substantial sense. To decide otherwise would simply be to ignore activities. We have a sample support in the reasoning of an overwhelming array of State decisions, among which we cite the following: Sheppard v. State, 165 Ga. 450, 464; Reliford v. State, 140 Ga. 777, 787; State 199 Ind. 235, 246; Batechon v. State, 189 Ind. 69, 76; Michel v. Commonwealth, 225 Ky. 83; Jackson v. Commonwealth, 215 Ky. 800; State v. Collins, 104 La. 629; State v. Pool, 50 La. Ann 448; People ex burges v. Risley, 65 How Pn. 247; State v. Collins, 104 La. Cr. 94; Commonwealth v. O'Keefe, 298 Pa. 169; Shaffer v. Territory, 14 Ariz, 233, 269. It is true that great and inexhaustible delay in the enforcement of our criminal law is one of the grave evils of our time. The law is unnecessarily long periods of time, and delays incident to the disposition of motions for new trial and hearings upon appeal have come in many cases to be a difficult approach to the administration of justice. The prompt disposition of criminal cases is to be commended and encouraged. But when a wrong conviction occurs, charges a serious crime, must not be stripped of his right to have sufficient time to advise with counsel and prepare his defense. To do that is not tc proceed promptly in the calm spirit of regulated behavior to go forward with the haste of the mob. Constitution of Alabama As the court said Commonwealth v. O'Keele, 298 Ia, 188, 173. "It is vain to give the accused a day in court with no opportunity to prepare for it, or to guarantee him counsel without giving the latter any opportunity to acquaint himself with the facts or law of the case." "A prompt and vigorous administration of the criminal law is commendable and we have no desire to clog the wheels of justice. What we here desire is that to avoid the misdemeanor, to trial within five hours of his arrest, is not due process of law, regardless of the merits of the case." Compare Refilford v. State, 140 Ga. 777, 778. Second—The Constitution of Alabama provides that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to have the assistance of counsel, and a State statute requires the court in a capital case, where the defendant is unable to employ counsel. The Court of the State Supreme Court held that these provisions had not been infringed, and with the holding we are powerless to interfere. The question, however, which it is our duty, and within our power, to decide, is whether the denial of the assistance of a defendant due to the due process of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. If recognition of the right of a defendant charged with a felony to have the aid of counsel depended upon the existence of a similar right at common law as the duty of a defendant, there would be great difficulty in maintaining it as necessary to due process. Right to Have Counsel Traced Back to Blackstone Originally, in England, a person charged with treason or felony was denied the aid of counsel, except in respect of legal questions which the accused himself might answer. The accused were then accused and persons accused of middensmen were entitled to the full assistance of counsel. After the revolution of 1688, the rule was abolished as to treason, but was otherwise steadily adhered to until 1838, when the Constitutional Limitations granted in respect of felonies generally—Cooley's Constitutional Limitations (8th Ed.), 683, et seq. and notes. An affirmation of the right to the aid of counsel in petty offences was granted in the gravest character, where such aid is most needed, is so outragous and so obviously a perversion of all sense of proportion that the rule was constantly, vigorously and some times passionately assailed by English statement and lawyers. According to 1768, Blackstone, although recognizing that the rule was settled at common law, denounced it as not in keeping with the rest of the human treatment of prisoners by the English law. He says, "can that assistance be denied to save the life of a man, which yet is allowed him in prosecutions for every petty trespass?" (4 Blackstone) and the grounds upon which Lord Coke defended the rule was that in felonies the court itself was counsel for the prisoner. Cooley's Constitution Limits Supervise the functions are purely judicial, affectively discharge the obligations of counsel for the accused? He can and should see to it. Cooley's Constitution limits supervise the functions are purely judicial, affectively discharge the obligations of counsel for the accused shall be dealt with justly and fairly. He cannot investigate the facts, advise and direct the defense, or participate in those necessary conferences because the accused is not a times partake of the inviolable character of the confessional. Colonial Authorities Are Cited by Court In addition, Pennsylvania's Charter already referred to, was applicable in Delaware and New Jersey of 1778 (Article XVI) contained a provision like that of the Pennsylvania Charter, to the effect that all criminals should be admitted to the same privilege as any person convicted of original Constitution of North Carolina (1776) did not contain the guarantee, but C. 115, Par. 85, Sess. laws, North Carolina Code, § 115, Sess. laws, North Carolina 1718-1796, Volume 1, 1163) provided "... that every person accused of any crime or misdemeanor whatsoever, shall be entitled to council in all matters which may be necessary for his defense, as well to facts Early State Constitutions Quoted on Subject Similarly, in South Carolina the original Constitution of 1776 did not contain the provision as to counsel, but it was provided by XIII. Grimke, S. Car. Pub. Laws, 1852-1790, P. 180) that every person charged with treason, murder, felony, or other capital offenses was required to defend the defense by counsel learned in the law. In Virginia there was no constitutional provision on the subject but as early as 1790, the governor, William V. Sth Geo. II, Heining's Stat. at Large, Vol. 4, p. 404), there was an declaration that in all trials for capital offenses the prisoner, upon his petition to the court, was acquitted by the governor; the Original Constitution of Connecticut (Art. 1, Par. 9) contained a provision that "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused must be acquitted by the governor and by counsel"; but this Constitution was not adopted until 1818. However, it appears that the English common law rule was adopted in 1790. (See Zehning's Swift's "A. System of the Laws of the State of Connecticut," printed at Windham by John Byrne, 1795-1796, Vol. II, Bk. 5. "Of Crimes and Punishments," C. XXIV, "Of Trials," pp. 388-399.) Right to Have Counsel Was Early Recognized The original Constitution of Georgia (1777) did not contain a guarantee in respect of counsel, but the Constitution of 1798 (Article III, Sec. 8) provided that "...that no person shall be debarred from advocating or defending his cause before any court or tribunal, either by himself or counsel, or by others, that he is unable to discover. The first Constitution adopted by Rhode Island was in 1842, and this Constitution contained the usual guarantee in respect of the assistance of counsel in criminal prosecutions. As early as 1798 it was provided for the assistance of counsel in the Sixth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, that "in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall the right... to have the assistance of counsel for his defense." An act Declaratory of the State Sec. 6, Rev. Paws. Laws, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, 1798. Furthermore, while the statute itself is not available, it is recorded as a means of obtaining a State Sec. 6, Rev. Paws. Laws, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, 1798. (I Arnold, history of Rhode Island, 386.) That in at least twelve of the thirteen Colonies the rule of the English common law, in the respect now under consideration, had been definitely rejected and the right to counsel fully recognized in all criminal prosecutions was limited to capital offences or to the more serious crimes; and this court seems to have been of the opinion that this was true in all the Colonies. In Holden v. Brown, the Court ruled that Just Brown, writing for the court, said: "The earlier practice of the common law, which denied the benefit of witnesses to a witness, was abolished by statute, though so far as it deprived him of the assistance of counsel and compulsory process for the attendance of a witness, was restored to England. But to the credit of her American Colonies, let it be said that so oppressive a doctine had never obtained a witness, it was abolished." One test which has been applied to determine whether due process of law has been accorded in given instances is to ascertain what were the settled usages and modus operandi of the statute of New England before the Declaration of Independence, subject, however, to the qualification that they be shown not to have been unsuited to the civil and political conditions of our nation and country after it became a nation. (Lowe v. Kansas, 163 U. S. 81, 85). Compare Murray's Murray, et al v. Hoboken-Land and Improvement Company, 18 How., 273, 276-277; Twining v. New Jersey, 211 U. S. 81. As appears from the foregoing, this test, if not been met in the present case, We do not overlook the case of Hurtado v. California, 110 U. S. 516, where this case involved a defendant who does not require an indictment by a grand jury as a prerequisite to prosecution by a Stake for murder. That conclusion the court (pp. 344-353) referred to the fact that the Fifth Amendment in addition to containing the due process of law clause, prosecution by a grand jury, shall be to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a pre- NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL jury in the States, it would have embodied, as did the Fifth Amendment, an express declaration to that effect, in order to prevent, in terms, provides that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right "to have the assistance of counsel for his defense." In the face of the reasoning of the State, the case it stood alone, it would be difficult to justify the conclusion that the right to counsel, being thus specifically granted by the Sixth Amendment, was also within the entiment of the due process of law It would have been doubted by this court or any other so far as we know, that notice and hearing are preliminary steps in the process of law. The judgment, and that they, together with a legally competent tribunal having jurisdiction of the case, constitute basic element of the constitutional requirement of due process of law. The word "law" often quoted, that by "the law of the land" is intended "a law which bears before it condemns," have been repeated in varying forms of expression in a multi But the Hurtado case does not stand alone. In the later case of Chicago, Burlington, &c., R'd v. Chicago, 166 U. S. Court, in the later case of Chicago, x that judgment of a State court even though that case was statute, by which private property was taken for public use without just compensation, was in violation of the due process of law required by the Fourteenth Amendment. Amendment explicitly declares that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. This holding was followed in Norwood v. Beker, 172 U. S. Court, in the later case of Chicago, 466, 524; and San Diego Land Company v. National City, 174 U. S. 739, 754. Likewise, this court has considered that freedom of speech and of the press are rights protected by the due process clause of the First Amendment. The First Amendment Congress is prohibited in specific terms from abridging the rights. Gitlow v. New York, 268 U. S. 106, 366 U. S. 106, 368 U. S. California, 368 U. S. 108, Near v. Minnesota, 368 U. S. 697, 707. These later cases establish that notwithstanding the wrapping character of the language in the case, the down is not without exceptions. The rule is an aid to construction and in some instances may be conclusive; but it must be supplemented with fundamental principles of liberty and justice whenever such considerations exist. The fact that the right involved is of such a character that it cannot be denied without evidence that it is fundamental principles of all our civil and political institutions$^4$ (Herbert v. Louisiana, 272 U. S. 312, 316). It is obviously one of those compelling concessions that the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, although it be specifically in another part of the Federal Constitution. Evidently this court in the later cases enumerated, regarded the rights there under consideration as of this fundamental issue. The court must be observed foreshadowed in Twining v. New Jersey, 211 U. S. 78, 99, where Justice Moody, speaking for the court, said that "... it is possible that some of the eight amendments are safeguarded by the first eight amendments, and may also be safeguarded against State action, because a denial of them would be a denial of due process of law. Chicago, Burdington Quincy Railroad v. Chicago, 222 U. S. 78, 99, because those rights are enumerated in the first eight amendments, but because they are of such a nature that they are included in the conception of due process of law. While the question has never been categorically determined by the court, a consideration of the nature of the right and a review of the expressions of this and other courts, makes it clear that the right to the counsel is of this fundamental character.

Licensed in States of Maryland and Virginia To Hurtado Ruling It never has been doubled by this court, or any other so far as we know, that notice and hearing are preliminary steps essential to the passing of an enforceable statute, and that the court has legally competent tribunal having jurisdiction of the case, constitute basic elements of the constitutional requirement of the statute, words of Website, so often quoted, that by the land is intended "a law which heart before it condemns," have been repeated in varying forms of expression in a multi-paragraph case, U. S. 388, 389, the necessity of due notice and an opportunity of being heard is described as among the "immutable principles of justice which inhere in the very nature of law," no member of the Union may disregard. And Mr. Justice Field, in an earlier case, Galpin v. Pace, 18 Wall 385, 386-389 said that no one shall be bound until that the court in court was as old as the law, and it meant that he must be cited to appear and afforded an opportunity to be heard. "Judgment without such citation and opportunity is not a valid termination; it is judicial usurpation and oppression, and never can be upheld where justice is justly administered." Citation of some effect might be indefinitely multiplied, but there is no occasion for doing so. Court Holds Layman Must Have Counsel What, then, does a hearing include? Historically and in practice, in our own country at least, it has always included the right to the aid of counsel when deprived of counsel. It is also the right. The right to be heard would be, in many cases, of little avail if it did not comprehend the right to be heard by counsel. The intelligent and educated layman has small and sometimes ill-trained the science of law. If charged with crime, he is incapable, generally, of determining for himself whether the indictment is good or bad. He is unfamiliar with the rules of law, without the aid of counsel he may be pursuing proper charge and convicted upon incompetent evidence, or evidence irrelevant to the issue or otherwise inadmissible. He lacks both the skill and knowledge adept enough to defend the defense even though he have a perfect hand. He quires the guiding hand of counsel at every step in the proceedings against him. Without it, though he be not guilty, he faces the danger of conviction because he does not know how to establish his innocence. If that be true of men of intelligence, how much more true is it of the ignorant and illiterate, or those of feeble intellect, or those of the weakest in the Federal court were arbitrarily to refuse to hear a party by counsel employed by and appearing for him, it reasonably may not be doubted that such a refusal would be justified if the contempt was of due process in the constitutional sense. The decisions all point to that conclusion. In Cooke v. United States, 267 The court held that where a contempt was not in contravention of law required charges and a reasonable opportunity to defend or explain. The court added, "We think this includes the assailant in the case." In numerous other cases the court, in determining that due process was accorded, has frequently stressed the fact that the defendant had the aid of counsel. So, for example, Felia v. Murbury, 201 U. S. 123. (Continued on page 16) Bundy's PAL HOME Phone, North 5750 GENERAL, $75 AND UP RESULTS, $85 Established 1921. JARVIS CO. GENERAL CTORS General Church is Distinctive usive . . . ..

Howard and Hampton on Edge for New York Tilt NEW YORK.—Football as exemplified by the best of the country's teams will be the gridiron feature at the Polo Grounds on Saturday, November 12, when Hampton Institute, 1931, champions of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and Howard University stage their first annual New York contest. Both teams are on edge for a bitterly fought struggle when they meet here. The teams are evenly balanced in the line, their backfields are well matched, and their season's playing records indicate equal performance. Furthermore, each will bring to this city a select group of outstanding stars who are already regarded as material for this year's All-American teams. ARRESTED DEMONSTRATORS (Continued from page 1) an able attorney had acted for the defendants from the beginning. He insisted that the counsel for the defendants had been in no way intimidated in the full discharge of their duty to their clients. He insisted that the evidence sustained the guilty verdict. In concluding, he said, the decision was an extension of the Federal authority into fields never previously entered by the highest court History of the Case The alleged crime was committed on a gondola car of a freight train, it being alleged that a crowd of colored boys threw white boys off and then attacked the two girls, who were clad in overalls, in questioning the girls' story counsel for the Scottsboro boys said that they were neither nervous nor hysterical an hour and a half after the alleged crime. The boys, ranging in age from 14 to 19 years at the time of the trial are Ozie Powell, Willie Roberson, Andy Wright, Olen Montgomery, Haywood Patterson, Charlie Wems, and Clarence Norris. Nine boys were originally indicted. A mistrial resulted in the case of Roy Wright, 14, and the death sentence of Eugene Williams was reversed by the Alabama Supreme Court. The question of the speed of infliction and trial was raised before the high court. The alleged crime occurred March 25, 1931, and the boys were arrested the same day and indicted March 31, and put on trial April 6. Demonstration Staged Shouting "Justice for the Scottsboro Boys," and waving banners demanding the acquittal of the condemned youths, a group of demonstrators, male and female, marched into the Capitol grounds half an hour before the court was scheduled to convene. About 60 per cent of the group were colored. By the time that Chief Justice Hughes and the associate justices filed into the silent court room in their judicial black robes, Capitol police, augmented by over 100 District policemen, had routed the alleged Reds and arrested 14 of them. During the brief but spirited melee, four policemen and more than a score of Reds were slightly Farina Signs Long Time Contract with Warner Bros. LOS ANGELES, Cal—Farina, famous star of Hal Roach's earlier kid gang comedies, has signed a long-time contract with Warner Brothers. For twelve long years Farina wore pigtails and played girls' roles. Most people thought that he was a girl. Then he was engaged for "You Said a Mouthful" in the Joe E. Brown comedy and the pigtails were cut off and he was given an honest-to-goodness boy's role. He scored, too, happy to be rid of girls' clothes and long hair for the first time. It's this little excursion into the films as his real self that won him the contract and a part in Douglas Fairbank ji's next picture, "The Sucker." Fifi Dorsay, vivacious French charmer plays one of the important femmes in this very same "fillum." BURKE. VA. By Miss Virginia Wright Little Zion Baptist Church.—Sunday school opened at the usual time with the Rev. Charles H. Veney, of Arlington, Va., teaching the class. Church service was held at 11 a.m. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Venev. He took his text from the 6th chapter of Isaiah and the 8th verse.

Northeast. injured. The battle lasted only 15 minutes. As they approached the grounds the demonstrators were ordered by police to disband. Instead they attacked police with handles of their banners as they were pushed backward. As the ranks of the demonstrators stiffened, an extra guard of police swarmed from the crypt under the Capitol, rushed the group backward and wrested signs from them. Suddenly, with their banners scattered about the grounds and their ranks broken, the men and women, both colored and white, retreated Crowd Dispersed Crown Dispersed On the other side of the street, however, they halted and renewed the fight as uniformed and plainclothes officers closed in around them. So strong was their resistance that police opened a barrage of tear gas which sent them scurrying in all directions. One policeman was overcome by the fumes and others suffered more or less. Meanwhile, other disorders broke out in other parts of the Capitol plaza and police were kept busy rushing here and there ordering everyone to keep on the move. Those arrested were herded into two groups, placed in patrol weapons and carried to the First and Ninth Precincts. Interest World-Wide Demonstrations on behalf of the youths have been held before American consulates in Europe, Latin America, the West Indies, South Africa, and last week, in Wellington, New Zealand, and Melbourne, Australia. Anticipating trouble, Capitol police had placed extra men all around the grounds. Plainclothes men were also secreted in the court room. Justice Sutherland George Sutherland, of Salt Lake City, was born March 25, 1862, in Buckinghamshire, England; received a common school and academic education; studied law at the University of Michigan, being admitted to practice in the supreme court of that State in March, 1883, and thereafter followed the practice of law until his appointment as a member of the Supreme Court. He received the honorary degree of doctor of laws from Columbia University of New York, University of Michigan, and from the George Washington University; was State senator from the sixth (Utah) senatorial district in the first State legislature; was elected to the Fifty-seventh Congress; declined renomination to the fifty-eighth; was elected to the United States Senate by the Utah Legislature for the term beginning March 4, 1906; and was re-elected in 1911, his term of service expiring March. 3, 1917.

The Generals' chief threat was evidenced early in the second period when the Orange and Blue backs rushed the ball to the Manassas 10-yard line only to lose possession of the oval by fumbling. Again in the fourth quarter, Tech, by means of a series of trick plays and end runs, carried the ball for two straight first downs, however, for no avail, as Stewart, Tech center, passed badly to Wiggs who had dropped back to kick, Armstrong losing the ball. Manassas, gaining the ball on the 33-yard stripe, aerialed its way to the 24-yard line where Tech recovered a Green-Jerseyed back's fumble. A 40-yard pass. Williams to Henderson, electrified the few fans in the stands, but an Armstrong back was detected clipping, and the ball was brought back to Tech's own 43-yard line. Wells, Manasas substitute, intercepted the next heave by Berry Williams on the 25-yard line. The Virginians made a first down as the gong sounded ending the encounter. The deadlock was a moral victory for Manassas, who only a few weeks ago bowed to Dunbar, 20-0. The line-up: MANASSAS ARMSTRONG Travers .L.E. Strong Tibbs .L.T. Carrington Ortis .L.G.

No letters answered RAYMOND AT MAIN OFFICE: WESTERN UNION NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD as MACKEY sees it By GARLAND MACKEY HENDERSON EXPLAINS HOWARD-MORGAN INCIDENT Referee Ed Henderson admitted this week that he "cut a hog" in the Morgan-Howard game last Saturday when he blew his whistle and stopped a play which would have given Morgan another touchdown against Howard. In explaining the incident, Referee Henderson said that he saw Headlinesman Ike Wright indicate a spot on the ground with his foot which signaled that that was the spot where the ball had stopped. Immediately Henderson blew his whistle. Despite the sound of the whistle, a Morgan player continued on with the ball over the goal line. The incident occurred in the first quarter with the play near mid-field. The ball was snapped from the center to Tom Conrad who made a forward pass to Cottman. The latter then made a lateral pass to Troupe who ran for the touchdown. Henderson said he was of the opinion that Troupe struck the ground with his knee when he scooped up the ball, and thereupon he blew his whistle. He said he was sure Troupe had touched the ground when he saw Wright indicate a spot on the ground which indicated that that was the point where the ball became dead.

Howard's players also claimed that Troupe stepped outside which made the ball dead at the spot where he went out of bounds. Headlinesman Wright said he did not intend to convey the impression that the ball was dead or to indicate with his foot that play had stopped. He said Troupe had not touched the ground with his body while carrying the ball and the touchdown was good.

After fighting through a scoreless first period, Conrad, late in the second quarter, broke loose from his own 30-yard line, side-stepped and dodged his way 70 yards for a touchdown, leaving the entire Howard team strewn in his wake. Sturgis, Morgan's right halfback, who repeatedly registered substantial gains through the Bison forward wall, booted a perfect place kick for the extra point. Again in the third period, Conrad, with the able assistance of his backfield mates, Wilson, Sturgis and Troupe, advanced the ball to Howard's 20-yard stripe where the quarter ended before any damage was done. A concerted drive in the last period, starting on his own 35-yard stripe, terminated as Troupe plunged over from the one-yard mark for the second Morgan touchdown. The extra point was lost when the kick by Sturgis was blocked. Bisong Score Accomplishing what only one other team has been able to do this year, the Bisons crossed the Morgan goal line early in the fourth period. Perry Howard intercepted a Bear pass on his own 44-yard mark, and a series of aerials, Hall to Ware and vice versa, advanced the oval to Morgan's 10-yard line. Another pass, Ware to Hall, gave Howard a first down with only four yards to the goal. In two plunges, Joe Ware went off-tackle for the lone Bison touchdown. Hall's kick for the extra point went astray. Howard Threatened Early Early in the second period Howard threatened by rushing to Morgan's six-yard line where the Bears held for downs. Walker, stalwart Bison center, snared a Morgan pass in midfield and carried it to Morgan's 35-yard stripe. Johnson and Ware got six more yards off-tackle, and Hall heaved a perfect pass to Ware who was brought to earth on the 20-yard mark. Then Hall swept around right end to the Bears' six-yard line, where the Bisons failed to go over after three attempts. Howard stepped out of bounds on the first play, Artie Johnson, who substituted for Johnson at left halfback, plunged for two yards. Ware was stopped for no gain, and Sallie Hall went off tackle but found the Bears' line unpenetrable. The Bears, gaining the ball on their own four-yard line, advanced to the 30-yard line from where Conrad got away on his sensational run. Morgan Score Called Back In the opening quarter, Troupe crossed the Howard goal line but Referee Henderson recalled the play and declared the ball dead on the Bison 41-yard line. By means of a series of clever trick plays the Bears had advanced to midfield. Sturgis and Conrad alternately carrying the pigskin gained four yards, then Conrad opened a triple lateral pass formation by passing to Cottman, who passed to Troupe. In passing between Troupe and Cottman the ball hit the ground and was scooped up by Troupe, who ran unmoiled for the uncounted touchdown. The officials declared the ball dead on the spot where it struck the ground. MORGAN HOWARD Cottman ... L.E. Bolden Williams ... L.E. Payton for ... Gale Black ... L.G. Center ... Walker Drake ...

COACH BELL Coach Tom Verdell (right) and Coach Bill Bell, of the Howard University board of strategy, talking things over before the clash with Hampton in the Polo Grounds in New York next Saturday. The Bisons' mentors do not seem to be greatly worried over the outcome. CAPITAL CITY SPORT SCRIPTS By ARTHUR CARTER Wet grounds caused the postponement of the initial city school championship grid game scheduled for the Walker Stadium, Monday. The contending teams, Cardozo and Dunbarn, were reported in the pink of condition, and it is expected that the delay will alter the competitive aspect of the battle. According to an announcement yesterday (Thursday) the game will not be played until November 25, the day after Thanksgiving. Customarily by this date, the usual interest in high school football has waned to such a degree that only a sprinkling of fans attends post-season games. Prior to the new date, the Clerks will have played Armstrong, and the Orange and Blue will have encountered its traditional foe, Dunbar, in the annual classic. The title may be decided with those two games, and any enthusiasm which might have been manifested in the contest will be lacking. In postponing the battle to such a late date the school officials are punching more holes in the already leaky high school athletic association money buckets. Word was received here, this week that the proposed gridiron game between Manassas Institute and Cardozo at Winchester, Va. next Friday has been called off, and will be played in Washington. It was explained that the grounds the contest would be fought on are owned by white persons who refuse to let it to two outside eleven. This pillar is in receipt of a letter from Alvin C. Webb, local government employee, scoring the discrimination shown by District officials at the playground medal awarding ceremonies held at the District Building, Saturday morning. Mr. Webb, says among other things: "I noticed with particular interest the method by which the ceremony was carried out and as usual there were any number of 'slights' that were given our colored boys and girls. They were the last ones to receive their prizes, and received applause and felicitations only from the members of their own group. This was occasioned simply because the white athletes filed out as soon as they received their awards. "Another 'slight' came about," he continued, "during the photographic ceremony. About four sets of pictures were taken during the presentation of the prizes, but not once was a colored athlete or teacher placed in the picture group." Mr. Webb concluded: "In justice to the Playground Department, I might add that Miss Sybil Baker and Richard Tennyson, the real spokes in the playground wheel, were very gracious and affable to the colored group, but aside from this personal angle, nothing was actually done to make the youngsters feel at home."

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL PLEASANT PLAINS WINS MUD BATTLE PLEASANT PLAINS WINS MUD BATTLE Beats St. Cyprian, 13-0 and Battle to 6-6 Tie With Bass A. C. Scoring in the second and fourth quarters to beat Saint Cyprian's Blue Tide, 13 to 0, the Pleasant Plains eleven remains the only undefeated football team in the District loop. Sunday's game was almost a swimming match, and before the conclusion of the game every player was plastered with mud. After playing in the Saints' territory all of the first period and beginning the same thing in the second period, big Red Fields, Plains fullback, plunged through tackle, going twelve yards to place the ball on the goal line. A moment later he drove across to score. Jim Gray picked up the extra point on a guard rush. During the second half, the Plains forward wall did click, opening wide holes in the Cyprian defense through which Hayes, Gray, and Fields plowed to score again, Gray going over from the six-yard line for the marker. Extra point was not made. Battle to Deadlock Mud horses were still the style when the Plainsmen invaded Fredricksburg, Monday to play the Bass A.C. to a 6 to 6 standstill. Fans and players alike are wondering just where a rule may be found stating that a ball stretched above the goal line is considered a touchdown. Such was the manner in which the officials decided in the second period when on fourth down C. Williams, plowing Bass fullback, was stopped on his one-yard line, standing up; the score going up 6 points. The Plainsmen quickly smothered the try for extra point. The third period was almost over when Jim Gray received a Bass punt on his own 40-yard line and sprinted 60 yards to score. The crowd went wild as the Plainsmen came back to accompany Gray on his journey, cutting down the Bass would-be tacklers like a farmer reaping wheat. Scoops Johnson completed the interference when, after taking out one man, he regained his feet in time to take out two together, assuring a safe trip. Try for the extra point failed.

This auditorium is the only one of its kind in the world and houses the complete setup for the perfect game. DOWNINGTON HELD BY CHEYNEY, 0-0 DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. — Although completely outplaying a much heavier Cheyney Teachers' College eleven, a light but fast Downingtown team was unable to put on a scoring play in a 0-0 contest here Saturday. Statistics of the game reveal the superiority of the high school lads over their collegiate rivals. They scored 12 first downs and 339 yards from scrimmage to Cheyney's 7 first downs and 146 yards from scrimmage. Cheyney had only one scoring chance when it intercepted a pass at midfield, and in its longest drive advanced 28 yards in two first downs to Downingtown's 22-yard stripe, only to lose the ball. For Downingtown, White and Frisby featured, while the kicking of Milton Brown, of Cheyney, was outstanding. CHEYNEY DOWNINGTOWN Randolph L. E. Taylor G. Jones L. T. Johnson Jones L. G.

Hutchinson Stars as Lorton Tigers Win Brilliant Playing of Quarterback of Reformatory Eleven Gives Team 18 to 0 Victory Over Alexandria Mohawks The Lorton Tigers of the D. C. Reformatory were again victorious Sunday afternoon, and took in the strong Mohawks of Alexandria, Va., to the tune of 18-0 in one of the most sensational games of the season. The fighting Indians from Alexandria came to Lorton with fire in their eyes, and not in the least forgetting the licking they took from the Tigers in the first game of the season by a score of 12-0. The game was well played throughout, and until the beginning of the third period both teams were unable to score. second touchdown. In the fourth period, and time all most up, both teams were struggling in the center of the field and Lorton in possession of the ball. Hutchinson called his team into a huddle, they came out of the huddle into a spread formation. Hutchinson got the ball and ran back about ten yards, shooting a beautiful fifty-yard pass to Ashton. Lorton's left end, who took it with ease and stepped across the goal line for the third touchdown of the game. Hutchinson failed to add any of the extra When the Tigers returned to the field of play at the beginning of the third period they came back with plenty of vim, vigor, and vitality and only one object in their minds, that being a touchdown. Hutchinson, the running, punting, passing, linebucking quarterback from Lorton guided his team throughout the entire game, and was largely responsible for the last two touchdowns. The first score came when Williams, right halfback, took the ball on an off-tackle play for twenty yards and a touchdown in the third period. Lorton then kicked off to the Indians and for three downs gradually drove them backwards. Hutchinson took the Indians' kick on his own 40-yard line and with perfect interference ran through the entire Mowhaw team for the Cardozo High Girls to Organize League School to Have Usual Christmas Season Post Office The girls of Cardozo High School, under the guidance of Miss Jennie Mustapha, assistant principal, have made plans for organizing a Girls' League, the aim of which will be to plan and conduct all girls' activities in the school. On Thursday, November 2, the biology class, instructed by Mrs. B. C. Reason, made an excursion to the Bureau of Fisheries, which proved both pleasurable and profitable. A clever chart device, designed by Linwood Jordan, a senior in commercial art, has been installed in the study hall of the school as a means of stimulating rivalry between the classes in the sale of Christmas cards. This project is a part of a large project, the Christmas Post Office, which is conducted each year by the students under the supervision of Miss M. O. H. Williamson. One of the most popular places in the school is the gymnasium. The new ping pong set has attracted not only the girls and boys, but also the teachers. Miss Etta Williamson, physical training instructor, is planning a tournament of matches for doubles and singles for the very near future. Rivero, Columbia Football Star, Plays Against Navy ANNAPOLIS, Md.—Rivero, Negro halfback cavorting for the Columbia University eleven, played against the Naval Academy football team here Saturday. The New York team backfield ace played a prominent part in Columbia's 7-6 victory, ripping off substantial gains throughout the contest. Late in the fourth period he swept around end for 20 yards to put Columbia on Navy's 10-yard line. The Lions fumbled, ending the spurt. Several seasons ago, Navy refused to permit Bell, former Ohio University tackle, now coaching at Howard University, to play against its team because of his color, and it is believed that they were unaware of Rivero's racial identity. It is rumored that he was "passed" as a Cuban. second touchdown. In the fourth period, and time all most up, both teams were struggling in the center of the field and Lorton in possession of the ball. Hutchinson called his team into a huddle, they came out of the huddle into a spread formation. Hutchinson got the ball and ran back about ten yards, shooting a beautiful fifty-yard pass to Ashton, Lorton's left end, who took it with ease and stepped across the goal line for the third touchdown of the game. Hutchinson failed to add any of the extra points after touchdown due to a wet slippery ball. Pleasant, Brown, and Holmes were the other backs who played a crack-up game for the Lorton aggregation. On the forward line for Lorton were such players familiar to Lorton fans as Ashton, Johnson, Stewart, Pollard, Mack, Washington, Franklin, Gay, Smith, Liberty, Procter, Hayes, Brown and Lacey. Howard and Armstrong did most of the ball toting for the Mowhawks and Lewis, Ward, and Carter showed their ability on the forward line. The Lorton aggregation is coached by Officer, Hoke S. Hinson, former Marine and South Georgia College star. Henson is assisted by Benny Branson, a name quite familiar to Washington and Lorton football fans for the past few years. Indiana U. Keeps Colored Players on the Bench Yields to Color Prejudice of Mississippi State University BLOOMINGTON, Ind.—(CNS) Two star players of the Indiana University football team were barred from the game played last Saturday between the Indiana team and Mississippi State. Babb and Lyons were the two colored boys whose names were omitted from the lineup because the Mississippi team objected. Babb is a half-back while Lyons is an end. No official explanation was given for the omission of the names of the two boys. Indiana defeated the Mississippi team 19-0. Howard Soccer Champions Beat Seasiders in Opener Howard University's championship soccer team again defeated Hampton in the opening game of the season played Friday at Howard, with a score of 9-2. This is the largest score that has been registered against any opponent since the introduction of soccer in colored colleges in 1929. The score is attributable to the offensive work of Captain Burrows and Lashley, each of whom made 4 scores, with one by Miller, and to the rather ineffective work of the Hampton goal keeper. The defensive work of Virtue, Howard's freshman, together with Wallacy, Lindor, Cokes, Gray so completely baffled the Seasiders that they were unable to make any headway. In the seven contests thus far played between the two schools. Howard has won 3 games, Hampton 1, and 3 ended in a tie score. The two teams will meet again on November 19 at Hampton, and on the morning of Thanksgiving Day, Howard will meet Lincoln in the Howard stadium.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. NOVEMBER 11. 1932 THE MURRAY CASINO Dates Can Be Booked With or Without ST. PAUL BOWS TO HAMPTON, 9 TO 0 B. L. B. TIPTON LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—In the midst of a drizzling rain the big Blues of Hampton took advantage of two big opportunities which may be termed breaks of the game, and overcame the St. Paul Tigers by a score of 9 to 0, here Saturday. The first quarter climaxed when Hampton blocked a kick attempted by Jenkins; the ball was covered behind the goal line by Hamm, of Hampton, for a safety, and the quarter closed with a score of 2 to 0. The second quarter began with the ball on Hampton's 42-yard line. Edwards of Hampton started a drive which in the beginning seemed dangerous, featuring Edwards as the main ball lugger, but stopped by the brilliant playing of Jenkins and Caldwell, who led the Tiger defense. The quarter continued without much progress on either side, until Carter, of Hampton, intercepted a pass and raced down the field for the touchdown. Richmond kicked the extra point, ending the half. Captain Jones, of St. Paul, featured a punt of 85 yards, the sensation of the game. In the last few minutes of play, St. Paul uncorked another attack of passing and running that failed to net anything when a fumble by Jenkins was covered by a Hampton player. In the final analysis Allen, Caldwell, Coleman and Keir, of the Saints, formed the invincible wall, and in the back field the names of Williams and Jenkins stand alone. Although all played well, Washington, St. Paul's end, made his entrance with an excellent showing. For, Hampton, Harris, Hooker, Powell, Carter, and Edwards were the big cheese, for the offense; their line featured no outstanding players, but Parham played exceptionally well. ST.

This terrifically tense drama is laid in the sinister setting of an ancient house in the lonely Welsh mountains where a group of travelers caught in a violent storm seek refuge for the night, only to discover that the inhabitants are tainted with insanity and ruled over by a gigantic, brutal servant who, becoming inflamed by drink, menaces the entire group. The desperate situation is heightened when the evil brute going mad himself with lust and ferocity decides to loose upon the house the murder crazed brother kept in his charge in a locked room. "The Old Dark House" features an exceptional cast of talented stage favorites assembled especially by Director James Whale to lend authentic portrayals to the exciting picturization of the celebrated J. B. Priestley novel of the same name. Charles Laughton, Melvyn Douglas, Lillian Bond, Ernest Thesiger, Eva Moore, Raymond, Massey, and Gloria Stuart head the exceptional cast. Gay parties and thrilling action in city night clubs will be seen today in "Crooner," which begins an engagement at this theatre for the two days of November 16 and 17. David Manners and Ann Dvorak, who made such an excellent team as the lovers in "Stranger in Town," will again be seen as the leading players in this picture. Manners, who plays the title role, is said to give an excellent performance as the crooner who leaps to fame over night and becomes so impressed with his accidental success that he imagines he is a genius. Miss Dvorak gives a fascinating performance as his college sweetheart. Ken Murray, famous as a radio entertainer, proves to be just as entertaining on the screen, as a high pressure publicity manager, while Claire Dodd, a Broadway favorite, sets the heart flutter as a society vamp. Guy Kibbee contributes barrels of fun as a jovial drunk in a night club. "Back Street" is Booked at Broadway Theatre One of the outstanding screen dramas of recent years has been booked for three days, November 13, 14, 15 at the Broadway Theatre, according to an announcement today, by Manager Van Bruner. The picture is "Back Street," adapted from the widely read novel by Fannie Hurst, with Irene Dunne and John Boles in the featured roles, and directed by the master of human, domestic drama, John M. Stahl. "Back Street" tells the story of a woman who considered no sacrifice too great to make in the name of love, and a man who gave freely of his love but at the same time retained his social position as a husband and father. The story covers a span of 20 years, and is said to give an especially affecting picture of the trials of two people whose love is outside the law, notwithstanding its sincerity and depth. "Back Street" ran two weeks at the Booker T. Theatre to capacity BARON LEE'S BAND PLEASES HOWARD THEATRE GOERS Baron Lee, the "Monocled Monarch of Harlem," and his Blue Rhythm Band, on the stage at Howard Theatre this week, presented one of the best orchestras to dispense music here this season. The Baron, himself, an excellent master of ceremonies, stands out in his role besides rendering several vocal numbers. His orchestra, featuring Edgar Hayes, an exceptional pianist, and Tiny Bradshaw, a crooning drummer, really pleased the audience, and were the recipients of much applause. The band's repertoire included the "Growl," "Say It Isn't So," "Riding in Rhythm," "It Doesn't Mean a Thing, If It Ain't Got That Swing," and their theme song, "Star Dust," which was played under a subdued lighting effect. Supporting the orchestra were Rustina Banks and her dancing chorines, Hannah Sylvester, a blues singer, who chirps "Under the Harlem Moon," Rivers and Brown, a sweet singing duo; Billy Bailey, a good tap dancer who tapped his way on and off the stage three times; and the Five Percolators, a quintet of fast moving songsters and dancers. Featured among the latter presentations were Miss Sylvester and the drummer's interpretation of "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" and the chorus singing of the Harlem Street Blues. The show was well balanced and exceedingly good. On the screen, Irene Dunne and Ricardo Cortez were featured in "Thirteen Women," a picture which shows the predictions of a weird astrologer who makes up the horoscopes of 13 women. Myrna Loy portrayed the part of the feminine character who brings death or disaster to one after another of the ill-fated women, Cortez, the detective, solved the strange spell just in time to trap the perpetrator of the plot and save the last woman.—A. M. C. Teddy McDaniels Stars with Ted Lewis In the current issue of the Bronzeman, Paul McKinney writes of an interview he had with Theodore McDaniels, five-year-old colored boy who features a dance with Ted Lewis's orchestra when on tour. Teddy was born in Cleveland. He has a natural knack for dancing, and on the same evening that Ted Lewis saw the child he gave him a three-minute act on his program. Since that time - 14 months ago - he has appeared in many of America's big cities, packing the houses the second nights of his appearances. His act of three minutes has been extended to eighteen. He is accompanied on his tours by his mother, who has a minor part in one of the plantation scenes in the show. Teddy will soon make his appearance on Broadway.

The following table shows the number of male and female musicians and music teachers in some nearby States for 1930 and 1920: United States Total ... 7,747 2,836 3,752 2,159 Delaware ... 17 17 9 13 1 Delaware Col. ... 158 158 10 12 0 Maryland ... 231 68 16 12 47 New Jersey ... 239 107 121 80 New York ... 1,733 410 641 100 New York Carolina ... 50 50 44 29 Pennsylvania ... 426 101 250 153 Virginia ... 168 61 120 100 West Virginia ... 49 23 29 14 The phenomenal increase in the number of musicians and teachers of music is the result of more than double the number of male players being engaged in this occupation in more than 20 of the States. Among the States showing such increases are California, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, and Texas. California, Michigan and New York also show double the number of females engaged in this occupation over the 1920 figures. The Little Theatres Gertrude Parthenia McBrown The past year has been an exceptionally fruitful one for the Little Theatres both in and out of the colleges. The Krigwa Players, the Boston Players, the Urban Players, the Framarden Players, the Harlem Experimental Players, the Nightingale Dramatic Club, the South East Children's Theatre, and many others presented some unusually fine productions. The college thespians went about their work with great zeal. TrNegro Intercollegiate Dramatic Association, composed of clubs from Morgan College, Howard University, Union University, Virginia State College, and Hampton Institute, under the efficient leadership of Professor Randolph Edmonds, of Morgan College, set the pace and the other colleges worked diligently in their respective fields. The West Virginia players are to be especially commended. At times they seemed to have slipped behind the professional footlights, both in productions and in the general artistry of programs. The programs for the final play, "Deal a Hand" (a musical phantasy staged and directed by Fannie S. Belcher) are souvenirs worthy of a place in any scrap book. The scenery for the play was built by the technical staff and painted by the scenic staff. Costumes were designed by George Williams and Murray Marvin—executed by London Mitchell and Hobard Hale. The draperies were made by the play production class. The Ira T. Aldridge players of Brick College, the Garnet Masque of Knoxville College, the Tennessee A. and I. players, the Paul Robeson players of Bennett College, the Tuskegee players, the Bronze Masque of Freedmen's Hospital, were among the most progressive of the college little theatres. Although the Ira T. Aldridge players did not organize until December, they produced with much success "The Mirage," Wurzel Flummery's "Suppressed Desies," "The Maker of Dreams," "The Minuet," and the "Twelve Pound Look." It was interesting to note that the players devoted a great deal of time to the fundamentals underlying the drama. Oftimes we are accused of placing all of the emphasis on dramatic ability; that is, we give no thought to the study of dramatic technique and allied arts. Contrary to this, the Ira T. Aldridge players sought to strengthen their productions through the study of pantomime (which is the best way to perfect dramatic art work), aesthetic dancing, voice, make-up and other subjects necessary to intelligent interpretation. When school closed the players were anticipating having larger quarters in which to do their work. THE WASHINGTON LOUIS RUSSELL MERRY-GO-ROUND HEADS HOWARD AT BOOKER T. THEATRE BILL "Washington Merry-Go-Round." Columbia's widely heralded political blast, opens a seven-day run Friday, November 11, at the Booker T. Theatre. James Cruze directed the picture which features Lee Tracy and Constance Cummings in the leading roles. The story shows Tracy as a newly-elected member of Congress who goes to Washington with a load of high and mighty ideas and ideals. What he encounters there and what he does about it is what makes "Washington Merry-Go-Round" one of the most talked about films in recent years. Alan Dinehart, Walter Connolly, Arthur Vinton, Frank Sheridan and Arthur Hoyt have important supporting roles. Maxwell Anderson wrote the story. CAB CALLOWAY AND MILLS BROTHERS AT LINCOLN CAB CALLOWAY AND MILLS BROTHERS AT LINCOLN There are no words to its mu- there are only such conglom- rations of sound as: Hi-de-hi-a-de- hi- scat-n-de-dat-n-de-dat-n and waddely-daddly-do, and presiding over it all is the beaming, smiling face of our own Cab Calloway who waves an estatic baton in front of his orchestra as it beats out music with savage rhythm. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the new music. Cab and his gang are up to their tricks in "The Big Broadcast," which opens at the Lincoln Theatre on Friday, Nov- ember 11, for a week's run. Now we have another surprise for you. Listen carefully. Four boys and a guitar—The Mills Brothers. And immediately millions of loud speakers boom forth with what sounds like a full orchestra. How these four artists achieve their unique sounds is a problem that has puzzled many a radio listener, for with their voices alone, they sound more like an orchestra than many a real band. Along with these two great stars we are also proud to present such artists as Bing Crosby, Kate Smith, the Boswell Sisters, Arthur Tracy, "The Street Singer," and Vincent Lopez and his orchestra. Not to overlook those two celebrated comedians, Burns & Allen, or shall we say Burns & Gracie, the dumbest girl alive. Never before has the screen or stage attempted to make a picture with as many stars as in the "Big Broadcast." However, judging from the tremendous success of this picture, due mainly to its colored stars, we feel sure that pictures in the future will devote more time and energy toward getting their talent from the race. I trust that they are now enjoying their little theatre in Benedict Hall. We are indeed proud of the programs that the little theatre groups have made and have reasons to look forward to an even more eventful year.

Plans for this event, launched following Chocolate’s victory over Lew Feldman in a clash recognized by the State Athletic Commission ‘as for the unclaimed feather- weight crown, were completed this week by James J.-Johnston, Gar- den boxing director. ‘Two Other inaieeer With the permission of the com- mission® Chocolate will engage in ‘three over-the-weight matches, ‘two of them in advance of the La- Barba battle, and the third subse- quent to it. On Monday night the Cuban will tackle Pete Nebo, Seminole Indian lightweight, in a non-championship bout at the St. Nicholas Arena when the club's indoor boxing sea- son will be launched. On November 21 or 28, Choco- late is to appear in» non-title struggle at. the New York Colis- eum, the Bronx, against an opifo- nent yet to be selecced. The third non-championship bout for Choco- late is scheduled for Jim Corbett’s Jamaica Arena on a date subse- quent to the LaBarba title battle and against an opponent yet to be seletted. Third Meeting Chocolate's clash with LaRarba wall be the third meeting of thene ring rivals here. In their first en- counter, staged at the Coliseum, Chocolate received a décision which was disputed by many critics, Lat- er they clashed in the Garden and LaBarba gave the Cuban a boxing lesson. The first meeting was held in 1929, the second n year later. Each was a ten-round bout. Whether the longer, championship distance will favor’ Chocolate or LaBarba remains to be seen, At any, rate, the battle promises an interesting struggle, particu- larly with the State's recognition of the winner as the world’s feath- erweight champion.

WRIGHT RETURNS Introduction: Beginning with this issue of the Washington Tribune, with the kind permission and co-operation of its editor, I shall carry each week in the columns of this paper certain legal notes—I hope of general interest. J. C. Wright, teacher at Cardozo High School, has resumed his school duties after an illness which kept him confined to his home, 514 T street, northwest, the greater part of the fall season. Mr. Wright is better known as the "Father of the Three-Cent Car Fare" for school children. The Scottsboro Case: The reversal of the internationally famous Scottsboro case by the Supreme Court of the United States on November 7 by a 7 to 2 count, should be at least encouraging to the Negro with respect to any hopes he may have in seeking his rights under the Constitution. SURPRISE PARTIES The surprise birthday party given Monday for Miss Velma Blair by Miss Fairfax Greene ended a series of such affairs which started early in October when E. G. Facey, as guest of honor, Miss Green entertained a group of friends with a surprise entertainment. In the light of the circumstances surrounding the entire case the members of the Supreme Court are to be congratulated upon their pronouncement of justice and the fair and right interpretation of the Constitution. Mr. Facey in turn surprised Miss Green on the event of her birthday later in October in his carpenter shop, 817 Florida avenue, northwest. Later Dr. L. B. Wiseman, one of the guests, surprised his wife, Mrs. P. M. Wiseman with a gay party. Wills: wills. Everybody owning any real property or personal property should have a will.

S. 308, 344 Kelley v. Oregon. 275 U. S. 888, 591. Judge Ordered Counsel In Deportation Case In ex parte Hidekuni Iwata, 210 Fed. Fed. 1995, 111. The court attained among the elements necessary to the process of law in a deportation case the opportunity at some stage of the hearing to secure and have the advice and assist In ex parts Chin Loy You, 223 Fed. 883, also a deportation case, the district judge held that under the particular circumstances seasonably made demand, was entitled to confer with and have the aid of counsel. Pointing to the fact that the right to counsel was asserted in the Sixth Relation relates only to criminal prosecutions, the judge said "...but it is equally true that counsel was inserted in the Constitution, because the counsel was recognized as essential to any fair trial of a case against a prisoner." In ex parts Siggins, 134 Fed. 404, 183, a case against counsel for the Fourteenth Amendment, the court said, by way of illustration, that if the State should deprive a person of the benefit of counsel it would not be due process of Judge Cooley refers to the right of a person accused of crime to have counsel as perhaps his most important privilege and allows him to be allowed English law upon the subject, says: "With us it is a universal principle of constitutional law that the prisoner shall be allowed assistance if he is convicted of Constitutional Limitations (eighth edition) 700, the same author, as appears from a chapter which he added to his edition of Story on the Constitution, regarded the need for counsel as necessary and assistance of counsel as necessarily included in due process of law. 2 On the Constitution (fourth edition), Section 11. The State decisions which refer to the matter invariably recognize the right to the aid of counsel as fundamental in character. 3 a. G. People v. Nathaly, 168 Cal. 64, 66; b. G. People v.

St. Joseph, 16 La. 64, 23; State v. Briggs, 58 W. Va. 291, 292. Declares Negroes Stood in Deadly沛 In the light of the facts outlined in the forepart of this opinion—the ignorance and illiteracy of the defendants, their youth, the imprisonment and the surveillance of the defendants by the military forces, the fact that their friends and families were other states, and communication with the states, especially all that they stood in deadly peril of their lives—we think the failure of the trial court to give them reasonable time and denial of the security counsel was a clear denial of the pursuit. But passing that, and assuming their inability, even if opportunity should be given, to employ counsel, as the trial court would, we must assume the opinion that, under the circumstances just stated, the necessity of counsel was so vital and imperative that the failure of the punishment of counsel was likewise a denial of due process within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. Whether this would be so in other criminal matters under under other circumstances, we need not determine. All that it is necessary now to decide, as we de decide, is that in a capital case, where the defendant is incapable adequately of making his own defense because of ignorance, feeldeim FREE BOOKLET—"Essolube" A Five-Star Motor Oil," gives you the story of the great hydrofining invention which makes Essolube possible. Ask for it at one of these authorized "Standard" Stations: einess, illiteracy, or the like, it is the duty of the court, whether requested or not, to assign counsel for him as a necessary requisite of due process of law; and that duty is not discharged by an assignment at a such a time or under such circumstances as prescribed by the ruling aiding aid in the preparation and trial of the case. To hold otherwise would be to ignore the fundamental postulate, already adverted to: "that there are certain inmutable principles of free government, which are ideas of free government, which no member of the Union may disregard." Holden vs. Hardy, supra. "that this whatever may be the rule in other cases, the right to have counsel appointed, when necessary, is a logical corollary from the constitutional right to be heard by counsel. Compare Wiesner, 14 Wis. 855, 856. Hendryx vs. The State, 130 Ind. 265, 268-269; Cuttx vs. State, 54 Fa. 21, 23; People vs. Goldendom, 76 Cal. 22; Delk vs. The State, 99 Ga. 667, 669-670. In Hendryx v. The State, supra, that was no statute authorizing the assignment of an attorney to defend an indigent person, was not required that such an assignment was necessary to accomplish the ends of public justice, and that the court possessed the inherent power to "Whore a prisoner," the court said (p. 269). "without legal knowledge, is confined in jail, absent from his friends, without the aid of legal advice or the means of informing his friends, is impossible to conceive of a fair trial where he is compelled to conduct his cause in court, without the aid of counsel, . . . Such facts far removed from an ex parte proceeding." Cites State Decisions On Assignment of Counsel Let us suppose the extreme case of a prisoner charged with a capital offense who is dead and dumb, unfit to serve and feeble, unable to defend himself, and whose whole power of the State arrayed against him, prosecuted by counsel for the State without assignment of counsel for his defense, tried, convicted and sentenced to death. Such a result, which, if carried into execution, would be little short of judicial murder, it cannot be doubted would be a serious case. In the process of law, and we venture to think that no Appellate Court, State or Federal, would hesitate to decide. See Stephen P. Kearns, *The Appellate Court*, 168 Ark. 623, 628; Grogan v. Commonwealth, 222 Ky. 484, 485; Mullen v. State, 281 Oka. Ct. 218, 289; Williams v. State, 281 Oka. Ct. 218, 289; Grogan v. State, cannot be questioned. Attorney are officers of the court, and are bound to render service when required by such a court. In the institution, limitations, supra, 700 and note. The United States by statute and every State in the Union by express provision of law, or by the determination of the courts, make it the duty of the trial judge, where the accused is unable to employ counsel. The United States by express provision of most States the rule applies broadly to all criminal prosecutions, in others it is limited to the more serious crimes, and in a very limited number to capital cases. A rule adopted with such unanimous accord is that the accused has the inherent right to have counsel appointed at least in cases like the present, and lends convincing support to the conclusion we have reached as to the fundamental nature of that right. The judgments must be reversed and the counsel emends further proceedings we incur in this opinion. Judgments reversed.

It is that petitioners were denied the right to be involved in the accused incidents of consultation and opportunity of preparation for trial." If that is true, they were denied due process of law and are denied the judgments against them reversed. But no such denial is shown by the Seven justices, heard the cases. The Chief Justice, alone dissenting, did not find any contention for the accused sufficiency in itself to warrant a reversal but found that the court had not been willing which he deemed sufficient when taken together to warrant the conclusion that the defendants did not have a fair trial. Declares That Defendants Were Ably Represented The court said (p. 553): "We think it a bit inaccurate to say Mr. Roddy appeared only as amicus curie. (This refers to a remark in the dissenting opinion). He exclaimed the announcement of the beginning of the instance of friends the accused; but not-being paid counsel asked to appear not as employed counsel, but to aid local counsel appointed to the court, and was permitted to appear, as shown by the record and pursuant to appointment of the court by Hon. Milo Moody, an able member of the local bar of long and successful experience in the trial of criminal as well as civil cases. We do not believe the accused of the accused by counsel as pro forms. "A very rigorous and rigid cross-exam- ition of the State's witnesses, the victims of rape, especially in the trial, leading of the record disclosed, the amount of money awarded not travel over all the same ground in each case." The informality disclosed by the colloquy between court and counsel, which is quoted in the record, has been "raned on, is not entitled to any weight. it must be informed from the record that Mr. Roddy at all times was in touch with the defendants and the people who procured him to see for them the case, and also acted for defendants at the time of the first arrangement and, as appears from the part of the record that is quoted in the opinion, thereafter proceeded in the disclosure of their including conferences with the defendants. There is not the slickest ground to suppose that Roddy or Moody were by fear or suspicion of the State's performance of their duty. Indeed it appears that the State, by proper and adequate show of its purpose and power to preserve the State's protection to them and the defendant. Holds Three Defendants Testified Against Others When the first case was called for trial, defendant's attorneys had already prepared and then submitted a motion for change of venue together with the attorney to and did at once introduce testimony of witnesses to sustain that demand. They had procured and were ready to offer evidence to show that Stone Williams were under age. The record shows that the State's evidence was adequate to warrant a conviction. And three defendants, Stone Williams, Stone Williams, and Moody, testified that he saw others accused commit the crime charged. When regard is had to these and other disclosures that may have been and are made, the court decided to commit the crime charged. When regard is had to these and other disclosures that may have been and are made, the court decided to commit the crime charged. When regard is had to these and other disclosures that may have been and are made, the court decided to commit the crime charged. If there had been any lack of opportunity for preparation, trial counsel would have applied to the court, for postponement, for the defense, for the defense, for no excuse at the trial or in the motion for a new trial which they made, that Mr. Roddy or Mr. Moody was denied such opportunity or that they were The amended motion for new trial, by counsel who succeeded them, contains the first suggestion that defendants were deceived. But neither Mr. Roddy nor Mr. Moody has given any support to that claim. Their silence requires a finding that the defendant would have been bound to support it. And no one has come to suggest any lack of zeal or good faith on their part. But the failure of the trial court to give petitioners time and opportunity to secure counsel was denial of due process is enough, and with no evidence of wrongdoing goes on to declare that "the failure of the trial court to make an effective appointment of counsel was likewise a denial of due process within the meaning of the law." This is an extension of the Federal authority into a field hitherto occupied exclusively by the several States. Nothing before the court calls for a consideration of the question, and petitioners do not ask for its decision here. The court, without being called upon to consider it, adjudges without a hearing an important Constitutional question concerning criminal procedure in State cases. It is a wise rule firmly established by a long course of decisions here that Constitutional questions—even when properly raised and argued—are to be decided only when necessary for a determination of the rights of the parties in controversy be considered. Thus, in the Charles River Bridge case, 11 Pet. 420, the court said (p. 5538): "Many other questions of the deepest importance have been raised and elaborately discussed in the argument. It is not necessary to press our opinion upon them; and the court deems it proper to avoid volunteering an opinion on any question involving the construction of the Constitution where the case itself does not bring the question立决, and make it their duty to decide upon it." And see Davidson v. new Orleans, 96 U. S. 97, 103, et seq.; Hauestein v. ynham, 98 U. S. 858, 859, 860; Bairn v. children's Hospital, 250 U. S. 274, 275; v. children's Hospital, 261 U. S. 855, 854. The record wholly fails to reveal that petitioners have been deprived of any rights guaranteed by the Federal Constitution and the opinion that the judgment should be affirmed. Mr. Justice McReynolds concur in this opinion. Over the River THOMPSON BROS. ANACOSTIA, D. C.

TWO TOO MUCH TIME IS SPENT BY PUPILS IN GRADES Dr. Ambrose Caliver Challenges Present-Day School Procedures KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—That the elementary public school system of the United States is spending seven to eight years in teaching fundamentals which might be taught in much less time was one of the charges of Dr. Ambrose Calver, specialist in Negro education with the U. S. Office of Education, when he addressed the East Tennessee Teachers' Association at Knoxville College last week. McMillan Chapel was crowded to the doors with Knoxville College homecomers, students and teachers to listen to a distinguished son. Dr. Calver received his bachelor of arts degree from Knoxville in 1915. Skill is the first object of education, the noted educator believes: Knowledge changes so rapidly that education can never hope to teach all of the truth. But skill in dealing with new knowledge will fulfill the purpose of education. The speaker declared that by the time college is reached the student should have complete command of elementary skills and should be ready for much creative research. Dr. Caliver also spoke at the traditional Knoxville College Homecoming Chapel to several hundred old grads and students. Later he thrilled the crowd and renewed his college days by acting as cheer leader, the crowd following him volley after volley by leafening cheers. Dr. Caliver has had wide experience in educational work. Since his graduation from the college he has had several prominent positions. He has been a high school teacher, a college teacher and dean. Now, as head of Negro education in this country, his office has undertaken many research problems.

PRINTING OFFICE WORKER RETIRES AFTER 19 YEARS Fellow Employees Present William Brown With $20 in Gold William Brown, 1314 G Street, Northeast, was retired from the Government Printing Office last Monday after serving 19 years as an employee. He was feted by employees of the Pamphlet Bindery Department where he worked for the last four years. In addition to an easy chair which was previously sent to his home, Mr. Brown received two beautiful cakes, ties, handkerchiefs, cuff links, and many cards of expressions of the esteem and goodwill of his co-workers. J. Howard, foreman of the section, praised Mr. Brown's work and presented him with twenty dollars in gold encased in a miniature book. This gift was all a part of his friends' donations. Mr. Brown, active and in good health, plans to work with his sons in their trade. A daughter, Miss Viola Brown, is also an employee of the Printing Office. Junior Red Cross Begins Season's Work Production of Juniors of Other Lands on Exhibition The annual Junior Red Cross meeting of the colored schools was held in Armstrong High School Library Wednesday November 2, at 3:30. Mrs. Orra Spivey, assistant chairman of the District of Columbia Junior Red Cross talked on the plans for the year, made a report for last year and issued supplies. There was an exhibit of canned fruit from the Armstrong High Night School, clothing being made for the District Chapter by the Armstrong High School, articles made by the Dunbar High Night School Club and from the American National Red Cross showing articles made by juniors in Australia, Bulgaria, Germany, Japan, Jugoslavia, Latvia. The exhibit also contained suggestions for gifts to veterans' hospitals, children's hospitals and chapter loan closets. Last year all senior and junior high schools were enrolled, also vocational schools—12 out of 17 schools in Division 10; 11 out of 12 schools in Divisions 11 and 10 out of 16 schools in Divisions 13. Two student representatives from each school will meet Saturday morning at eleven o'clock in the District Red Cross Chapter Building, 1730 E Street, Northwest, to reorganize the Council and make plans for the year.

QUESTIONS IN FOOTBALL Question.—In a recent game in Baltimore, between Morgan and Hampton, what caused the apparent disagreement among many spectators about the kicked ball from the Hampton team? Answer.—The apparent disagreement among the spectators was caused by the action of the Morgan player in not attempting to recover the ball after it had touched him, or after he had touched it. The question of the ball's touching him is still in dispute, because at the moment the ball reached the Morgan player, neither of the three officials was close enough to see the contact, if it occurred. Very unfortunately, in this game and in many others there are but three officials when the rules specify that there shall be a referee, an ampire, a linesman, and a field judge. The duties of the field judge require his decisions involving possession of the ball and interference in connection with the catching or possession of the ball "after" it has been advanced beyond the line of scrimmage. Had a field judge been on the field in the Morgan-Hampton game he would of necessity have been on the spot—in absolute position to see what the linesman and umpire could not because of their natural location on the beginning of this play—a kick formation. The normal position of the field judge is about from 20 to 30 yards behind the team on defense and towards the side of the field opposite to that occupied by the linesman. A similar situation arose on the gridiron quite recently in this city concerning the grounding of a forward pass which had been thrown about forty yards. From his position the umpire declared the ball a touchback, claiming that it had fallen behind the goal line, when those parallel to the goal line knew that it fell to the ground in the field of play. Here, too, a field judge could have given a decision which would have saved an argument among spectators. The presence of the fourth official on the field is of supreme importance if proper officiating is to be expected of the men employed to do that work. To impose any or all of that official's work on the umpire requires of him a task almost impossible to perform to the satis- faction of himself as well as to the coaches and the public. The field judge is the official time keeper of the game and upon his decisions the winning or losing of a game naturally depends when the score is close and the playing time is limited. Most assuredly a field judge should be found upon the football field if the spectators are to witness a properly officiated game. No one game in the American Baseball Park has been without the field judge this season. Why should we attempt to do without him? TO DEDICATE (Continued from page 1) the village of Gettysburg, which hill General Howard, with military forethought, selected for such a contingency. For choosing this stronghold for the Army of the Potomac, almost all of which arrived on that battlefield during the night, General Howard received the thanks of Congress by vote of that body in the following session. It is on the brow of this Cemetery Hill, where his headquarters were during the battle, amid the troops of his own Eleventh Corps, that the memorial to this soldier is placed. Gettysburg Battlefield became a National Park many years ago, and the long lines of battle are well marked by monuments to regiments, brigades and divisions. Division commanders are portrayed standing dismounted. The only mounted men in bronze are the Army and Corps commanders Pennsylvania has erected three equestrian statues, viz, to General Meade, the commander-in-chief, to General Reynolds, and to General Hancock. New York has one to General Slocum; one to General Sedgwick from Connecticut, and Maine now, one to General Howard. On the Confederate battle line is one to their commander-in-chief. The hope has been expressed that some day Vermont will erect a monument in Burlington to General Howard, the distinguished American who commanded the troops from the Green Mountain State and to whom was presented a sword by the Second Regiment of Infantry. His body is interred in Lake View Cemetery, at the city of his last residence. General Howard was born at Leeds, Maine, November 8, 1830, and died at Burlington, Vermont, October 26, 1909. He was a graduate of West Point in the class of 1854, and was commissioned as second lieutenant in the regular army, in 1855, with successive promotions until December 21, 1865, when in recognition of his work at Fort McAllister, he was made brigadier-general. He began his service in the Civil War in June, 1861, at which time he was appointed Colonel of the Third Maine Volunteers. He was voted the Congressional Medal of Honor for distinguished gallantry at the battle of Fair Oaks before Richmond, Va. June 1, 1862, where he suffered two wounds involving the loss of his right arm. He served in various capacities in the U. S. regular army, including commandant at West Point Military Academy in 1881 and 1882, up to the 90's, when he was retired as a major general. He was honored by the decoration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the government of France. Headed Freedmen's Bureau He became commissioner of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands May 12, 1865, which bureau was responsible for the founding of many prominent institutions of learning, among which were Howard University, Hampton Institute, Atlanta, Fisk, and Straight Universities, and others. General Howard received the degrees of A.B. and A.M. from Bowdoin College, and LL.D. from Bowdoin and Geltysburg Theological Seminary. It's Your Dollar MAKE THE MOST OF IT!!

The trial consumed two days and was heard before Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat. Four witnesses introduced by defense counsel established the fact that Toliver was not near the scene of the alleged attack, but when Toliver took the stand he told the jury that he was not where the witnesses said he was on the night of the alleged attack but that he was out with a girl by the name of "Tootsie." When asked who "Tootsie" was, he told the court that she was "a girl who I can get five or ten from whenever I want to." After a strenuous argument by defense counsel and Assistant United States Attorney Irvin Goldstein, the jury found Toliver guilty on both charges after a deliberation of five hours.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL NEGROES NEED BIRTH CONTROL KNOWLEDGE Dr. Chas. Garvin Says Birth And Death Turnover Is Appalling Takes Our Two Colored Medical Colleges Severely to Task For Their Indifference NEW YORK.—That American Negroes stand greatly in need of knowledge how to limit their offspring, is the statement of Dr. Charles H. Garvin, writing in the November issue of the Birth Control Review. An advance copy of the article has been sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by Mrs. Stella Hanau, the editor. Dr. Garvin cites the high infant mortality among Negro babies as showing the need for fewer children with better opportunity for those brought into the world. "My appeal is not for the reduction of America's black population," he writes, "but I am vitally interested in increasing racial stamina by the reduction of the unfit. Fewer and stronger babies, high-quality, low-quantity production.... The birth and death 'turnover' among Negrees is appalling. Few racial groups show such a high birthrate with a correspondingly tremendous and distressing infant mortality rate. "Infant mortality is highest among the offspring of the ignorant, the poverty stricken, the underfed and badly housed, where vice, degeneracy, crime, alcoholism and tuberculosis thrive. It increases in direct ratio to the size of the family." In default of the information on contraception, which they should have, Negro women are resorting to criminal abortions which, Dr. Garvin reports are definitely increasing. Dr. Garvin criticises the "sluggishness" of Negro medical institutions in considering birth control methods and says. "Just why our two Negro medical colleges have been so reluctant to offer scientific contraceptive teaching, in face of the dysgenic practices of the Negro, is most perplexing to me....The situation is tragic and the responsibility of the Negro physician is clear." Mound Bayou, Miss. School Wins Agricultural Contest Vocational Schools from Five Central Southern States Competed MOUND BAYOU, Miss.—(CNS) Bolivar County boys recently won the "Almot" contest consisting of competition in eleven different phases of farm activity ranging from judging Jersey and Holstein cattle, horses, mules, to identifying insects and farm tools, etc. This is an annual contest, sponsored by a group of five States of the Central South for Negro boys enrolled in vocational agriculture schools, "Almot" being formed from the first letters of these States—Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas. Scoring a total of 1,451 points out of the possible 2,100 in the team contests and 522 out of a possible 700 in the individual contests, the Bolivar County (Mississippi) Negro Agricultural Training School team of Mound Bayou, Miss., forged its way to victory over four opponents in the Central Southern Regional Contest, held at Alcorn A. & M. College. The achievement of the Mound Bayou team represents competition in eleven different phases of farm activity—judging Jersey cattle, Holstein cattle, mules and horses, corn samples, cotton samples, and poultry, identifying insects and farm tools, rafter cutting, and plowing. To gain the right to compete in the regional contest the Mound Bayou team had to win two elimination contests—one in the third congressional district, held at Coahoma County Agricultural High School, Clarkdale, July 29, and the State contest at Alcorn, August 8 and 9. The best individual performer from the Mound Bayou team at the regional contest, was Daniel Smith, who won first individual prizes in the district and State contests. Second best in the regional contests was Leandrew Harris—winner of second individual honors in the preliminary districts and State contests. Judges of the contest included Professor McAdams, Prairie View College; Professor C. S. Woodward, Arkansas State A. & M. College; Professor T. H. Booth, Southern University of Louisiana; and Professor A. T. Busby, of Alcorn. CONCEALED KNIFE GETS MAN 45 DAYS OR $50 FINE Convicted of carrying a dangerous weapon, John West, 25, was ordered to pay a fine of $50 or surrender 45 days in jail by Police Court Judge John P.

A knife was found in his pocket. Reports from Russia say that the country's food shortage may develop from proposed laws. 2,229 Violent Deaths Here During 12 Months There were 2,229 cases of death investigated by the District Morgue at the end of the year June 30, 1932, according to a report made public this week by Morgue Master William Schoneberger. Of this number 1,598 were probed by a coroner's jury while the others were viewed by Deputy Coroner A. M. Gruder McDonald and Deputy Coxoner C. J. Murphy. According to the report there were 119 homicides, 138 suicides, and 340 accidental deaths. A total of 34 persons died from taking poison accidentally. Deaths are not classified according to race, but it is reported that most of the homicides were among Negroes with most suicides being among the white race. 10,000,000 NEW CHRISTMAS SEALS HAVE ARRIVED The arrival of the 10,000,000 new Christmas Seals ordered from the National Tuberculosis Association for the coming annual District of Columbia campaign to finance the continued fight against tuberculosis is announced this week at the headquarters of the local Tuberculosis Association, 1022 Eleventh Street, Northwest, in the Social Service House. Officers of the association at once began intensive preparations for the opening of this campaign the day after Thanksgiving when the seals are to be placed on sale throughout this city. The design of the new 1932 Christmas Seal, which was created by the nationally known artist, Edward Volkmen, of Weehawken, N.J., discloses two little children standing in a snowy street with songbook in hand and lustily singing Christmas carols. It is lithographed in red, green and blue colors with the usual "Merry Christmas" greeting words at the top and the double-barred cross in red in the background, symbol of the world-wide effort to conquer the enemy, tuberculosis, and especially to protect children from its grasp. Since 1907 when this idea of selling the tiny penny seals to raise funds for the fight against tuberculosis first was used in America by Miss Emily Bissell in Delaware, there have been twenty-six different seal designs created by eminent artists. Foremost among the artists who have assisted in this work with original methods of utilizing the small space of a postage stamp to portray some idea suggestive of the happy Christmas season and thus make the seal of worth as a decoration for Christmas letters and gift parcels, stands Howard Pyle, who designed the 1908 seal with holly wreath. Other artists who have had a hand in these seal designs are John W. Evans, George V. Curtis, Thomas M. Celand, Carl Wingate, Mrs. Guion Thompson, Anton Hudert, C. J. Budd, Charles Winter, Rudolph Rusica, and Robert C. Eberhard. Stamp collectors who have obtained a complete set of the twenty-six seals employed in this national health campaign now find that they have a possession of rapidly increasing value. In such a set much of the history of the movement may be found. The designs for the first four years were purely decorative. This period was followed by designs with pictorial ideas such as the figure of Liberty symbolizing freedom from ignorance and disease, Christmas candles lighting the way to health, the three minstrels out of medieval past signing of Christmas joys, the ship bearing its burden of good wishes for long life and health that means wealth, and the old bell-ringer telling of the birth of the joyous Christmas anniversary. This year's design poses the idea of "children first" in the battle against disease. Founder's Day at Shaw Dr. John Hope, president of Atlanta University, will be the Founder's Day speaker at Shaw University on Friday, November 18th. Founder's Day this year at Shaw University will mark the sixty-seventh anniversary of the founding of the institution by Dr. Henry Martin Tupper. At 10 o'clock in the morning a brief memorial service will be held at the grave of Dr. Tupper. The principal exercises will be held at 10 o'clock in the university chapel, at which time Dr. Hope will deliver the main address. A luncheon to alumni and friends of the institution will be given at 1 o'clock in the university dining hall from which place a program will be broadcast over WPTF of Raleigh from 1:30 to 2 o'clock. This program will consist of an address by Wm. Stuart Nelson, president of the university, and music by the university choral society. President and Mrs. Nelson will be at home to alumni and friends from 4 to 6 o'clock on the afternoon of Founder's Day. Reports will be made from alumni throughout the country and the Baptist churches of North Carolina in the $15,000 Current Expense Camping which is now under HUNGRY CHILDREN DELEGATION PLANS WASHINGTON TRIP HUNGRY CHILDREN DELEGATION PLANS WASHINGTON TRIP Hundreds Expected to Come Here Thanksgiving Day to See Hoover Another hunger march, this time composed of children, is expected to descend on Washington, Thanksgiving Day, according to the Daily Worker, a Communist publication. A statement issued by the National Committee of the Unemployed Councils, the Young Pioneers and the Workers International Relief calls for a children's hunger march delegation to come here on November 24. This delegation is to be elected at numerous hunger hearings throughout the Eastern States and will carry the demands of the children to the President, who has issued the annual appeal to give thanks on that day. The children's delegation, states the call, "will serve as a mighty prelude to the National Hunger March which will carry the demands of the entire tolling population to Congress on December 5." The children's delegation will demand that all children under the age of 14 be taken out of industry in order to protect their health, and that the government support them. The statement says: "At the same time in every section of the country to back up this children's hunger delegation, delegations of children and parents shall visit the local mayors, governors, and other officials and place before them similar demands for local relief. "On and before Thanksgiving public hearings shall be held all over the country to expose child misery. These will support the national delegation with telegrams and resolutions. These will express the united mass demand on the government for prompt action." Dudley Day Celebrated at A. and T. College Dr. Ambrose Caliver Speaks at Exercises in Honor of Late President GREENSBORO, N.C.,—A. and T. College celebrated its annual James B. Dudley Day, Wednesday, November 2, in honor of its late president. The principal speaker was Dr. Ambrose Caliver, senior specialist in Negro education in the bureau of education at Washington. His address dealt with the need for three intellectual emancipations of the Negro, as follows: (1) self-emancipation for the right of the Negro to determine his own destiny; (2) emancipation from his inherited slave psychology; and (3) emancipation from complacency. An unexpected feature of the program was the presence of two Negro college presidents on the platform as guests; President Wright, of Brick Junior College, Brick, N.C.; and President Atkins, of Teachers' College in Winston-Salem, N.C. Both spoke briefly of their previous relations with A. and T. College and recalled their personal friendship with the late President Dudley, President Wright stated that "the institution is but the lengthened shadow of the man." After a piano prelude by Prof. H. B. Baker and a hymn by the audience, the Rev. John J. Green, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, gave a Scripture reading, followed by a solo by Miss Odessa Arledge, two selections by the school quartet, and a rendition of Dett's "O Gently Lead Us, Lord," by the choral club of the school. President Dudley's favorite hymns, "Study War No More," and "Faith of Our Fathers," were sung by the audience. Slater-Langston Parrent- Teachers Association Elects Officers Mrs. Julia West Hamilton Elected President; Community Fund Endorsed The Parent-Teacher Association of the Slater-Langston School began its year's work at the meeting held Thursday. With a large and enthusiastic crowd the association made a very encouraging beginning. In the absence of the president, Miss Laura G. Arnold, the principal of the two schools, presided. The following officers were elected. Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, president; Dr. Jos. C. Braizer, vice-president; Miss Laura G. Arnold, treasurer; Mrs. M. B. Russell, secretary; Mrs. P. B. Jordan, reporter. A very interesting program was rendered, including a piano solo by Miss Gladys Davis; vocal solo by Mrs. H. W. Taylor; and a reading by Miss Louise Pinkett Very instructive remarks were made by Miss Arnold, principal. The Community Chest was brought before the meeting by Miss Thomasine Corruthers, instructor at the Miner Teachers' College. The association unanimously agreed to go on record as endorsing the drive. The roll of classrooms was called to find out which had the largest number of representatives. Mrs. H. G. Dixon's 6A class won the prize cup, having 47 representatives for its room.

Ine. “Independent, Post “Office at Washington, D.C. under the NOVEMBER 11, 1932 THE SCOTTSBORO DECISION. ik coe Tee eet ge The 7 to 2 decision of the United States Supreme Court upholding the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, and granting seven Negro boys in the Scottsboro case a new trial, ‘meets the approval of every law abiding citizen in this country. This decision is a two-edged sword. It cut the death sentence off of the seven boys, giving to them even-handed justice and a new trial. On the other hand, the sword cut a ‘deep rebuke into the Alabama race prejudiced officers who ‘would pervert the courts and use them to intimidate, perse- cute and exploit a minority race. : Here are the words which ring true to our exalted prin- ‘ciples of free government and even-handed justice: r “However guilty the defendents on due inquiry might “prove to have been, they were, until convicted, presumed to ‘be innocent. It was the duty of the courts having their ‘eases in charge to see that they were denied no necessary ‘incident of a fair trial.” i Seven of the judges found that real justice had been ‘denied these poor boys by the trial court in Scottsboro, Ala- bama. They were not given the opportunity to secure ‘proper counsel, nor was proper time allowed for full prepa- ‘ration of the case before being called into -court. The ipresence of a mob, five times the normal population of the ‘town, presented undue tenseness and hostility which pre- wvented a fair and impartial trial. Tt was the duty of this trial court to protect the ‘rights of the ignorant, illiterate and, before the law, inno- ‘cent boys. This it failed to do. There was no other decision for the Supreme Court to trender. ‘“‘To hold otherwise,” said Justice Sutherland, “would be to ignore the fundamental postulate already ad- verted to, that ‘there are certain immutable principles of jus- tice which inhere in the very idea of free government which mo member of the Union may disregard’.” : This decision is far reaching and tells the lower courts that the Negro is protected by the Constitution of these United States of which he is a citizen. * We regret the unfortunate effort of the men and women who attempted to picket the Supreme Court before the de- cision was rendered. They were mistaken to think that the demonstration at that time would have any effect upon the decision which they should have reasoned Had been decided upon before the vacation of the court a week previous. The judges had only to render the decision already made. The demonstrators tried to do the same thing that their lawyers accused the mob of doing before the Alabama court. The attorneys for the boys have stated that they will ask for a change of venue for the next trial to avoid a recur- rence of the mob spirit before the court. This would at least give a start toward a fair and impartial trial. THE NEGRO PRESS. We are proud of the independent attitude of the Negro press. It has demonstrated more aloofness from the G.O.P. than ever before in a Presidential campaign. This inde- ete denotes a healthy growth. Washington Tribune stepped out at its inception in 1921 as an independent paper. When President Harding made his Birmingham speech of “inescapable differences,” we turned against his administration and the Republican party. We were called “crazy” by many because of our stand. We were against Coolidge in 1924 and have been op- posed to Hoover's second term for the past three years. _ One can read over the list of persons and papers on the Republican payroll and readily understand why they whoop it up for the G.O.P. Politics makes strange bedfellows. How- ever, the majority of the most influential of our newspapers were not listed among the eleven named as having received money from the Republican campaign chest. We are really making progress. . Journalism is attracting more of our qualified young men and women than ever before. Our papers are demon- eeeeny more race pride than ever before. We are tired of being deceived and betrayed by our supposed friends.

The Division of Our Vote in This Campaign Has Loosed Our Political Chains. Shall We Shake Them Of Entirely? The election will be a matter of history when this release reaches the light of print. It, is now be ing written on November the sec- ond, six days before that momen- tous, event. Ever since T engaged to serve a publicity agent for the National Negro Non-Partizan Conference last. December, I have been ham- mering away constantly on its fun- damental preposition of the divi sion of the Negro vote and its stra- getic distribution between the two great rival parties. These re- Teases have been broadcast through- out the colored press and have fallen under the eyes of a million voters. I am not vain enough to attribute to this poor effort of mine any determining effect upon the election, nor yet am I too modest to deny that they have had considerable influence. THE NEGRO VOTE IS IRREVOCABLY SPLIT One thing is sure, the Negro vote has been split as never before. No longer ean any politieal party lay claim to this vote as its ex- clasive possession. The traditional argument for undying allegiance to the Grand Old Party for bygone benefactions has been shattered forever. The water has passed the mill and has become a spent force. The Negro has become enfran- chised from his enfranchisers, and as a free American citizen, ‘must form political affiliations accord- ing to living issues, as other free citizens do. While I have striven to be non- partisan, and strictly impartial in my analysis and appraisement of men and measures, yet I have been fully conscious, the while; that the effect of my_ deliberations. tended towards the Roozevelt side of the equation, Where the weights. are all on one side of the lever, shift- ing must be to the other side in order to bring about a balance. If the Negroes should become, in mass, attached to the political fortunes of the Democratic party as they have been to the Republi- can party for the past fifty years, a redistribution would be no less im- perative. Safety requires that the eggs should not be placed all in one basket. Two markets are al- ways better than one fu: healthy bargaining. All that T am now saying is equally applicable whichever side may have won.

Jacke, M.D. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE From different parts of the coun- try letters have come asking me to say something about the very important subject of blood pres- sure, so here it is, In the first place please under- stand that high blood pressure is not itself a disease. It is a symp- tom which signifies that all is not well with the body machinery. There is a disposition on the part of many doctors to alarm people to alaam people over, the state of their” blood pressure. This should not be as there is no need for being scared too greatly over this symptom. Let me not be mis- understood, however, for it is an important ' symptom, which re- quires watching and studied at- tempt to determine the cause. Some of the causes for high blood pressure seem to be overeat- ing, over weight, intestinal and other infections, worry, nervous ness, high tension living, lack of proper rest and various indiscre- tions which occur in our modern hurried methods of living. If this high pressure is allowed to persist untreated and uncared for it becomes permanent and will shorten the life.

President Hoover is waging as game a fight as ever candidate waged against over- whelming odds, But the cards seem to be stacked against him, And yet while there is life, there is hope. ‘Once or twice in the history of mankind stranger things have haps pened than the re-election of Mr. Hoover, but never in the course of our political history. No event is certain until it has happened, Mir- acles may still occur, SUPPOSE IT’S ROOSEVELT Beginning with the more prob- able outcome, I would say, if it is Roosevelt, the nation will be safe and the Negro unharmed. It seems to me that narrow-minded Amer- icans, from President Hoover down evince poor sportsmanship and lit- ‘tle patriotism when they endeavor ‘to persuade the nation that disas- ‘ter will follow the triumph of ‘their political adversary. Free institutions are doomed if their success depends upom the dominance of any one political party. are the Democrats not as much interested in the prosperity of the country as are the Re- publicans? Will they, - with Samsonian folly, pull down the na- tional temple involving all in a common ruin? Has any one a monopoly of wisdom or miro. ism? ‘Is the welfare of the nation dependent, in perpetuity, upon & Republican administration? Must the Negro from now until Judgment Day look to the Grand Old Party, and, to it alone, for op- portunity and’ privilege? If so, God help the nation. and God pity the Negro. SUPPOSE IT’S HOOVER From the less probable outcome, should Mr. Hoover be re-elected, the nation will go, on and: finally find a way out of the slough of de- pression into which it has ilies under his: leadership. The alta ca state hag abroad 120,000,000 Amer- icans. The captain, whoever he ‘may be, cannot go too far wrong, for the passengers will not permit him to do so. The Negro will fare better under Mr. Hoover's second administra- tion’ because half of them voted against him. The indifference of his first, term will be changed into ‘keen political concern. ‘The dy- ‘namics of the ballot rests upon its ‘power and disposition to defeat rather than to elect. Whoever shall have been chosen ‘he will be the President of all the ‘people, of whom the Negro will be looked’ upon as an important part which must be reckoned with be- cause he has demonstrated that he cannot be any longer safely ig- nored. Roosevelt and Garner, winning or losing, I trust. will overlook the harsh and absurd things which partizan Negro poli- ticians heaped upon them, on the ground that such vituperation and abuse grew out of paucity of ar- gument and poverty of reason.

CARTER G. WOODSON Babe oft ieatial sf Roses ‘History ete ae Unless we glance at the long lists of books now being written by the traducers of the Negro to libel the race we shall never realize how important it is for us to pub- Tish the truth about ourselves in our own defense. This is not propa- ganda; it is merely. meeting the urgent need to combat error with truth, Almost every year we note the publication of some book which misrepresents the status of the Ne- gro and makes it necessary for scientifically trained persons to write a dozen or more books to counteract the disastrous effect of that particular misrepresentation. ‘The list is an unusually long one. For example, glance at the publications known’ as the “Chroni- cles of America,” published by Yale University, or the works on Reconstruction brought out by Co- lumbia University, or on certain monographs produced. by Johns Hopkins. In most of these cases the editors of the series are sin- cere and believe that they are giv- ne the world the advantage of scientific productions. LIBELLOUS WORKS, YET SEEM AUTHENTIC ‘*he editors cannot be expected to know more of the details of each work in the series than can be Imown by the authors of the pub- lications worked out under their supervision, The propagandists, who happen to be on the staff of writers, moreover, have been well trained in the learned centres of this country, and they give their treatises the stamp of modern his- toriography. In this way the universities, the foundations, and the publishing houses have unconsciously done the Negro much harm. Some of them have done so much to make the case of the Negro harder that it has been necornary to plead with them and to insist that, while they are doing nothinx for ‘the scienti- fic study of the Negro from. with- Jin, they should not give aid tc those who are libelling and slan- dering the race. THE PROPAGANDISTS DECEIVE BOARDS Ww posing as being intensely in- now posing as being intensely in- terested in the study of the Negro, derive a double advantage from their efforts. They easily make a living by thus deceiving the boards and foundations, and at the same time they have an excellent oppor- tunity to vilify the Negroes whom they actually detest in spite of the liberal education which they have undergone. It is most unfortunate, too, that these propagandists hav, general- ly succeeded in securing the aid of a few mentally undeveloped Ne- groes who are posing as promis- ing investigators of Negro life an! history. In such collabora- tion they do practically nothing but sanction what the overpower- ing propagandists in the situation desire to publish. If the Negro thus connected is sometimes required to write a book of his own, the manuscript is usu- ally censored to the extent that in the final analysis the Negro is saying only what someone wants him to express, OUR Ph. D.’s NOW HOLD MERE JOBS It is very necessary, therefore, for a larger number of our “highly educated” Negroes to do more ‘writing than what they have here- tofore undertaken. We have now ity Negroes who have undergone Serious training to the extent of obtaining the degree of doctor of Philosophy from aceredited univer- sities. Thi$ distinction means that ‘these persons are qualified to pro- duce works showing original treat- ment and independent research. It is a most lamentable, then, if these scholars merely use these marks of distinction to obtain jobs and devote no time to creative work. If they continue such course the progress of the Negre in this particular sphere is thereby impeded by those who, after hay. ing these large sums of money spent upon them for preparatior in a new field, have actually block. ed the way to a higher level. One of the handicaps from which these Negroes suffer is that oy have not been able to place manuscripts with liberal firms de voted to the publication of treat ises which are not acceptable tc other houses. In the case of the Associated Publishers, in Werbiog ton, D. C., —, have such an lishment which has thus functioned for ten years.

Other alleged grounds of appeal were, urged upon the | Supreme Court, but all of them were brushed aside, Did the convicted youths have a fair trial? That was the question into which the Supreme Court looked painstak- ingly, assembling all the relevant facts before it decided in the neg- ative, “The opinion was written by Mr. Justice Sutherland, who has often been called the most “reactionary” member of the Supreme Court, so that it cannot be set down to a weak sentimentalism. Neither can it have been due to the outcry in Washington and in other cities, as well as in Moscow and by Euro- pean Communists, asserting that 2 spirit of wicked class prejudice pervades the United States, and that here no justice can be had for the poor and ignorant. Taking no notice of all this, the Supreme Court, with only two judges Sear found that the ordinary meth ‘of a fair trial had not been followed in the State courts, and that therefore a new trial, under proper safeguards must be given the seven Negroes. Nothing was said one way or the other about their guilt or inno- cence, Only, if they were guilty, the fact must be roe by fair and equitable procedure in court. However people may feel about the case itself, there will be, we believe, general approval of’ the lofty position taken by the ma- jority of the Supreme Court. That great tribunal appears once more as mindful of human rights. Of its jurisdiction it may be said, in the well-known words of Hooker praising the ideal of law, that the Jeast may feel that they are under its care, just as the greatest may know that they are not exempt from its power. It is not often that we see the issue of justice to the lowliest, and possibly most unworthy, so clear: ly appearing in an important. jy licial decision. It ought to aval the rancor of extreme radicals while confirming the faith of the American people in the soundness of their institutions and especially in the integrity of their courts. ~ NEW ERA IN SOUTH ‘From the Richmond (Daily) ‘Times- ‘Dispatch That the Negroes of America should repens Poveal indepen- dence is a hopeful sign for-them.

If the Negroes of this country could be made to see this effort as @ great opportunity for working toward independence of thought and action, this publishing house would soon become able to give the Young authors a hearing.

For several weeks Washingtonians have talked of nothing much except politics. Newspapers have been pawed over excitedly, and every ear has been attuned to the radio, lest one miss something stimulating. As a result, social activities have waned to a great extent, and except for bridge parties, and a few intimate house affairs, very little has appeared on the horizon. The Mu Lambda Graduate Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity offered the one real social event of the week, and the coming Contract Bridge Tournament, which is being sponsored by the Mu-So-Lit Club, will hold the attention of bridge fans for the next few weeks. Rayford Logan to Address the Alphas Fully fifty members of Mu-Lambda Graduate Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity crowded into the Alpha House last Thursday night to hear Rayford Logan's address on "Haiti." The speaker summarized with clearness and force the background of the Haitian history and the chain of circumstances that brought on American intervention in 1915. The major portion of the speech, however, dealt with the affects of American occupation on political, economic and social conditions of the little Republic. Mr. Logan paid his respects in no uncertain terms to the State and Navy Departments under the Wilson regime. Robert Tod Duncan, baritone, and Cecil C. Cohen, concert pianist, supplied three excellent musical numbers to round out a highly effective program. Among the others present were Dr. R, Frank Jones, president; Dr. Charles H. Wesley, Gustav Auzene, Charles E. Burch, R. W. Brooks, Dr. H. A. Callis, George E. Cohran, James A. Cowan, Victor R. Daly, Lewis K. Downing, Joseph H. B. Evans, Dr. Walter Garvin, William L. Hansberry, Dr. Norman W. Harris, James V. Herring, Edward W. Howard, Nathaniel A. Murray. Dr. William F. Nelson, Ferdinand L. Roussere, Louis H. Russell, James N. Saunders, Dr. Emettt J. Scott, Dr. Harold C. Stratton, Walter R. Thornhill, John H. Williams, W. H. Riley, J. W. Fearance, C. C. House, Eugene C. Holmes, William Syphax, Dr. W. W. Hendricks, Dr. E. S. Fitzgerald, Edward A. Hope, Dr. W. A. Atery, Richard H. Atkinson, Jason C. Grant, and Dr. George Johnson. BISHOP McDOWELL AT ASBURY CHURCH Bishop William F.

SIX GIRL FRIENDS' HALLOWE'EN The Girl Friends of Washington gave a kiddies party, Hallowen'en night, when Miss Julia Grimes entertained at Miss Sophie Edelin's.

Thelma Killingsworth Johnson was there looking adorable in a little girl's party dress trying to take Shelby's doggie; and Sophie Edelin looked like a little boy in blue rompers, complete even to dirty knees from crawling around in a child's game of some sort. Jennie Moseby insisted on playing bridge, holding up three partners needed for dancing, and looking innocent at the same time. Cornelia Tignor Herbert was in red and white rompers and socks, and Mediel Williams Davis looked cute in pink and white with a perky little bow in the back of her dress, while Fanny Perry was as nonchalant as ever. Oh, yes! The boys were there, too, but looking like the girls. Big brothers—Armstead Davis, Leon Smallwood, Dan Herbert, Rhone, Columbus Ware, Reginald Williams, Emmett Scott, James Perry were present. GUEST OF MR. AND MRS. LANKFORD Mr. and Mrs. John A.

YOUTHS' CORNER YOUTHS' CORNER By ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB As this is election week, I suppose I ought to begin this column with a eulogy on the merits and qualifications of our next chief executive, Franklin D. Roosevelt. So much bouquet tossing has already been done, however, that I deem it somewhat superfluous to delve into a thesis along that line. Suffice it to say, every young man and young woman should begin to give serious thought and contemplation to the study of present-day conditions as they are affecting their country and their race. What solution can you as youthful individuals offer to better the conditions of a segregated people? If you are not a native of the District of Columbia, what use will you make of the ballot? What plans have you for posterity? These are three of the many questions that this generation must answer. Are you prepared? A Project During the past week I received two interesting letters from two enterprising young people who wrote to me with precisely the same thought in view. They both wanted to know why this column could not be instrumental in organizing a debating society for young people. Here's my answer: "And why not?" Your humble columnist will go so far as to offer a popular novel to the individual who in the opinion of a set of judges (who will be selected this week) offers the best name for such a society, as well as his or her reasons for desiring to become a member of the organization This contest will end November 18, so get your thinking caps on ladies and gentlemen. Address all communications to Alvin (Chick) Webb, 1338 Fourth Street, Northwest, who is wholly responsible for this movement. * * * * Organizations Last week I was handed the following notice: "The Silhouettes, a group of young debutantes, will hold their initial tea dansante on Saturday, November 12, from 4 to 8 p.m." The young lady further stated that formal invitations will be mailed this week notifying us regarding the place or address. I am still waiting for mine. The Don Juans wish to announce that all candidates for their basketball team should prepare themselves for their initial workout at Garnet-Patterson gym. Come next week. Youthful Personalities No. 7 JACK.CRAVEN Introducing for your approval, to our private hall of fame, Jack Craven, Armstrong's potential football hero. When I first met this young man I wanted him to tell me whether his first name wasn't really Jack- son or Jacques, but he insisted that it had always been plain old-fashioned Jack—so Jack it is. In these hectic days that have produced such screen patterns as Clark Gable and James Cagney, it is very rare that one finds a young man that you can qualify as "oozing with good humor and easy going methods." Nevertheless such is the case with Craven. And there are many young ladies who will tell you that they prefer Jack's type. "They are the kind that you can mother and pet," they say. Lot of logic in that too— come to think of it. I mean, in that setting business. As the initial sentence indicates, Craven is a member of Tech's football team this year. He is an aspirant for a line position, and he has made good so far. He is also a member of the Don Juans Club. Don't be a bit surprised to learn in the very near future that Senor Jacques Craven (I persist in calling him Jacques) goes crashing into the gates of success and achievement—for he has his way with women. Ask Edna. * * * * Wonder If it's True That: The Student Council at Shaw Night School is bent on creating a new era.

Girl basketball teams will be getting into action very soon. Evelyn Locke, Billie Tolliver and Edna Webb are aspirants for said team. Montague Pollard will essay a comeback on the courts this winter.

Parker is chairman, met at his office, 1214 U street, on November 6. "The Federation," Mr. Parker said, "is looking forward to a very active year." Herndon Jones, of the extension department, submitted plans for a reorganization of the federation. There are still a number of schools without parent-teacher associations, Mr. Jones explained. A move is to be made by his department to develop an organization in all schools not having one. Another radical change in the reorganization scheme is to have a president of parent-teacher activities in each school division. The president will be the authority in his division. The supervising principal of each division will act as advisor, and in this capacity give counsel and direction to all the associations in the division. The question of granting a fifty per cent ownership of the Parent-Teacher Journal, now published for Divisions 10-13, exclusively, to the Maryland State Parent-Teacher Federation is to be presented at the next meeting of the District federation. It is proposed that an editorial board of four District men and three Marylanders control the policies of the periodical, which will continue to be printed in Washington. It was recommended that the federation establish a central emergency fund to be available to the local associations for the provision and distribution of shoes, clothing, milk and crackers. Notices are to be sent to the associations asking that donations for the activities of the social workers be brought to the next meeting of each unit. Cook School P.-T. A.

You are invited to send in your favorite recipe or letters of interest to the housewife. TEMPTING RECIPES FOR NOVEMBER Omelets Omelets fluffy and omelets flat are made of the same ingredients: One or two eggs for each person, 1 tablespoon of milk for each egg, and salt to taste. Beat the egg yolks and whites separately for a fluffy omelet; beat them together for a flat omelet. To make a fluffy omelet for an average family use 6 eggs. Beat the yolks thoroughly and add 6 tablespoons of milk. If preferred, the milk may be heated; it will then cook the yolks slightly when it is added and give the mixture a smoother consistency. Or, one-half cup of hot white sauce of medium thickness added to the yolks will make a larger omelet with more body. Fold the yolk mixture gradually into the stiffy-beaten whites containing one-half teaspoon of salt. Have ready and hot a smooth heavy omelet pan containing 1 tablespoon melted butter or other fat, and pour the egg mixture into the pan. The omelet may be cooked in three different ways, but in any case start it on top of the stove at moderate heat. If a small-sized gas or oil burner is used, move the pan about so that the omelet will cook around the edge at the same rate as in the center. As soon as the omelet has browned slightly on the bottom, place it in a moderate oven (350° F.) and bake for 10 minutes. Or, continue the cooking on top of the stove until the mixture sets, and then place under a low broiler flame for 2 or 3 minutes. Or, if preferred, cover the pan during the whole period and so cook the top of the omelet with steam. When the omelet is done, crease it through the center; fold it over: FOR dairy products and daily service of dependability and quality, call Potomac 4000, or order from a Chestnut Farms salesman.

Pour over the omelet melted butter or other fat containing finely cut parsley, and serve at once. For a flat omelet beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of milk for each egg and salt to taste. Pour a thin layer of the mixture into a hot greased omelet pan and cook slowly and evenly. When brown on the bottom, roll the omelet in the pan and turn it onto a hot platter. OMELET VARIATIONS Chopped fried ham or bacon grated cheese, or a cooked vegetable such as peas, mushrooms, or asparagus, or a combination of chopped onion, green pepper, celery, and parsley delicately fried in butter or other fat may be added to the egg mixture before it is cooked or may be spread over half of the cooked omelet before it is folded and turned onto the platter. Cooking Domestic Rabbit in Cassero'e (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The meat of a domestic rabbit is so superior in color and flavor to that of wild rabbit as to make it seem an entirely different article of food. All the meat on a domestic rabbit is white and delicately flavored throughout. In food value, rabbit falls in the class with poultry and other meats as a source of efficient protein. Domestic rabbit may be eaten at any season While a great many of the domestic rabbits are marketed at eight to ten weeks of age and are termed "fryers," the more mature animals are also good. They need longer, slower cooking, as in fricassee, cassereo dishes, and rabbit ee, and may be used in croquettes, alads, chop suey and other dishes unde of previously cooked meat, the bureau of home economics of the United States Department of agriculture suggests the following way of cooking a mature rabbit en asserole: Wipe the rabbit meat with a camp cloth, cut into pieces for serving, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roll in flour. Brown lightly in hot fat in a skillet, transfer to a casserole, and some of the fat skillet the skillet and one-half cup of hot water. Cover and cook in a moderate oven (250 degreesahrenheit) for one and one-half to two hours, or until the meat is under. Remove the meat, and chicken the gravy slightly. To each cup of liquid allow one tablespoonful of flour, mix with a few tablespoonfuls of cold water, add to the meat drippings, return to the oven, and stir occasionally until thickened. Season with salt and pepper and finely chopped parsley, replace the meat, and when thoroughly hot serve in the casserole. SAVORY PORK AND VEAL CAKES 1 pound veal 1 pound pork Small onion, chopped 1 teaspoon salt Pepper Bacon 3 tablespoons flour 2 cups cold water Wipe the meat, grind it fine, and mix in the onion, salt, and pepper. form into medium-sized cakes. wrap around the edge of each a lice of bacon, and fasten with a oathpick. Sear the cakes on both sides in hot fat until golden brown, place in a casserole, cover, and sake in a moderate oven (350° F.) for 45 minutes. Remove the cakes and keep warm. From the drippings skim off the surface fat, add the flour, mix thoroughly, add the water, return the casserole to the oven, and cook the gravy until chickened. Replace the meat cakes in the casserole and serve. OYSTERS SCALLOPED WITH RICE Place alternate layers of rice, tiers, and celery in a baking cup. Pour over them a sauce made im the fat, flour, salt, pepper 1 milk, cover the top with the altered crumbs, and bake for 20 minutes in a moderate oven (350" STEAMED CRANBERRY PUDDING 2 cups cranberries 1½ cups sifted soft-wheat flour 2 teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ cup butter or other fat ½ cup sugar ¥ eggs ½ cup milk Pick over, wash and dry the cranberries and roll them in 2 t teapoons of the flour. Sift the rest of the flour with the baking powder and salt. Cream the fat, CALCIUM NEEDS STRESSED BY DIETITIANS Vitamins Have Important Place in Warding off Disease The importance of food values in maintaining health was emphasized at the opening session of the fifteenth annual meeting of the American Dietetic Association held in the Hotel Pennsylvania, in New York on Monday of this week. The conference, which continued through Thursday, was attended by nearly 1,000 members from various parts of the country who are engaged in the professional aspects of this work. The practical phase was exemplified in the preparation of a balanced diet in the meals served at the conference, through the co-operation of the association and the hotel management. Dr. Shirley W. Wynne, Health Commissioner, and Dr. H. C. Sherman of the department of chemistry at Columbia University stressed the importance of calcium-bearing foods in their addresses to the members during the forenoon. Referring to recent statistics indicating the number of school children with defective teeth, Commissioner Wynne said that this condition could be improved only by the expectant mothers and the new generation of children receiving a proper diet. "Many other diseases result from the lack of a proper diet," he declared, "as it has been shown that the more refined foods of recent years have lacked certain essentials found in those of earlier years which persons considered a more hardy diet. You are every one a public health officer engaged in helping this work of public health." Dr. Sherman traged the recent advances in the chemistry of food and nutrition and pointed out that "the practical application of our newer knowledge of nutrition can be stated and handled quite simply in terms of actual foods." He contended that there was need of discrimination regarding vitamins and mineral elements. This he explained by reference to "the feeling of anxiety" concerning the amount of iron needed by the body in the prevailing opinion of the day. "The human body is born iron-rich, a form of insurance by nature, but also calcium-poor," he explained. "More thought should be given, therefore, to the extreme importance of liberal calcium intake for the growing child. "This is all the more necessary," he continued, "because it often happens that children are retarded in this phase of their development without showing any sign of their calcium-poor condition which can be recognized by physical examination. Apparently many children believed to be developing normally are storing calcium at less than optimal rate." In discussing the vitamin content of foods, Dr. Sherman pointed to the importance of Vitamin A as "becoming constantly more impressive," owing to its powers of resistance to disease. "The trend of recent research is to show that Vitamin A is an even more important factor in nutrition and health than has been realized," he declared. Although Vitamin D is now readily available in many commercialized forms, according to Dr. Sherman, the importance of "liberal intakes of calcium and phosphorus should be fully and strongly maintained." The whole wheat of slightly milled variety accounts for ample intakes of phosphorus, iron, copper and manganese, he said, while the important calcium content is to be found in the form of milk, fruit, vegetables and eggs. Dr. H. J. Kaufer, president of the first district dental association, one of those who spoke briefly at the luncheon, also referred to the importance of "the scientific selection of food" in health programs. He termed the members of the association "custodians of the greatest weapon in the combating of disease through preventive means." add the sugar and well-beaten eggs and add to the dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Fold in the cranberries, turn into a buttered mold, cover, and steam for two hours. Serve hot with sauce. SOUR CREAM PIE 1 cup sugar ½ teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon cloves 2 eggs 1 cup seedless raisins 1 cup sour cream ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons vinegar Pastry Mix the sugar and spices, add to the beaten eggs with the raisins, cream, salt, and vinegar, and beat well. Pour the mixture into a deep, pastry-lined pie pan, add the top sheet of dough and bake in a moderate oven (350° F.) until the crust is golden brown. To Make the Arms and the Shoulders Firm Take the whites of four eggs, boil in rose water, with a few grains of alum added, and beat until smooth. Put this on the arms and shoulders at night and cover with a thin cloth. Next morning they will be firm and smooth. SEVEN AMERICAN STORES CO. Big Values . . .

BIGGEST GAINS IN CONTES) The Lichtman Theatre’s third annual popularity contest reached the half-way mark with three can- didates well in front of the others. Vivian, Tumer made the greatet sains during tho week, and pulled Up among the two leiding Indios last_ week, Emma Greene and Helen Eagles: ‘These were not the only candidates to make an excep- tional showing this week, however, Fannie Offut demonstrated that her last week's spurt of votes was a fluke. She had a nice pile of votes, ms did Lucy Truatt, who has been ‘an’ “in-and-out” during this contest. Dunbar Davis and Agnes Anderson did not gain any ground this week, since their opponents were getting many more votes, Constance Dugan, 2104 Second street, northwest, made the best showing of new’ entrants; while Josephine Scott did the best “wak- ing-up” after falling to sleep in the contest. Half-way Mark Tha first threa weeks of, the contest has some competition, and itis expected that efforts will be redoubled during the remainder of the time. Con- testants are requested to read the rules carefully and are asked to vote accordingly. Any irregularity will seriously injure the particular candidate's chances of winning, The rules are simple. ‘The votes are in the Washington Tribupe and may be secured by puréhasing the paper, or by asking your frfends to save you the votes. These votes are dated and are good for seven days. only. Only one vote should be voted with one ticket of admis- sion, Candidates are advised that they. must follow these rules to be successful, . Warning Issued Candidates are being warned concerning persons who might pro- mise aid to them. No person can secure @ prize for a contestant. He can do no more than vote one ticket for the candidate with one admission ticket to a Lichtman Theatre. Those promising some- thing more have “nothing to offer.” |and in addition, their participation will almost surely ruin the candi- date’s chance of winning anything. Attempts to “stuff” ballot boxes have been cheeked. Votes had been clipped’ from large quantities of stolen papers. This also hax been checked..
