Catholic Priest Denounces American Race Prejudice HOWARD 12; LINCOLN 0 7 CENTS PER COPY "WHITE MAN AND BLACK," ADDRESS OVER THE RADIO Father Jas. M. Gillis, C.S.P. Delivers an Outstanding and Timely Address Defiant to all principles of white man's ethics, and courageously indifferent to the mass of criticism that will inevitably be heaped upon him as the aftermath of his address, "White Man and Black," the Reverend Father James M. Gillis waged a relentless attack on the American treatment of black American citizens in his weekly broadcast as featured speaker for the Catholic Radio Hour, Sunday. A Paulist Priest, and editor of the Catholic World, official monthly organ of the Catholic Church, the Reverend Mr. Gillis, standing in the studio of Station WEAF, New York, delivered the most radical longue-lashing that has been released by a white man on the ears of white men in the history of the radio. Admittedly aware of the fact that he was about to take unto himself what he termed a "ticklish problem and one generally considered too hot to handle," the speaker prophesied at the outset that his views would probably not only be rejected, but resented as well, by those of his listeners who feel that the simple and sufficient solution to the problem of the Negro is to "keep him in his place." Attacking discrimination because of color as unworthy of a place in civilization, and describing the Colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady as sisters under the skin, Father Gillis dared flaunt over a 54-station hook-up of the National Broadcasting Company, the theory that white man and black are brothers under the skin. Contradicting the theory of polygeny, the speaker allied himself and his church with the theory of monogeny, claiming that it would be heretical to say that the white race is from Adam and Eve and the black race from some other aboriginal pair. "We are all of the one and same stock," he declared. After a discussion of the cranial (Continued on page 10) H. U. Student Robbed and Beaten by Unknown Man Eric Williamson, Howard University student, reported to police he was held up and beaten by an unknown man at Flagler Place and W Street, Monday night. Williamson said he was returning to his home in the 2200 block of Flagler Place after spending the evening in the university library studying, when the man walked up behind him and stuck him on the head with the butt of a revolver. Williamson said he wheeled around and the man struck him in the mouth with his fist and then pointed a gun at him. The student said the man demanded his money and took $1.60 out of his pocket and then ran away. 59 Deaths Reported Week of November 12 Of a total of 160 deaths in the District of Columbia for the week ending November 12, 59 were colored and 101 white, according to the weekly statistical statement by the Health Department of the District of Columbia.

The birth rate was 143,000 per annum 24.3 for colored and 20.8 for whites. The estimated population for the District is 494,000, of which 136,700 are colored. Wounded Man Fails to Identify His Assailant James R. Williams, 23, Sixth and K Sle., Southwest, was shot in the neck by another man at Ninth and Golden Streets, Southwest, last week. Williams was treated at Emergency Hospital where four suspects were brought later, but none were identified as the assailant. One of the four, Henry Anderson, of Petersburg, Va., was booked on charges of intoxication and concealed weapons. Police said he had a rage when arrested. Washington Tribune A New and Mighty Champion Since the days of Frederick Douglass, Charles Sumner, Robert Ingersoll and William Lloyd Garrison there has not been a public utterance, or a more "straight from the shoulder" discussion on the question of the Negro in America, than the address made by the Rev. James M. Gillis, of the Congregation of Saint Paul, over WRC on Sunday evening last. This address is published in full elsewhere in this issue. One cannot read this address without being made to feel that perhaps in this man—in this Catholic Priest—we, as an ostracised and persecuted people, may have a real champion of our just cause in this country. To read this address is but to partially appreciate the true sincerity of the man. Those who heard his voice were impressed far beyond his words with the fervor and the pathos that characterized his every utterance. His sincerity, his conviction of the truth of his views, his bravery in uttering that which he knew to be unpopular, are truly the characteristics of that type of moral crusader that our group has hoped and prayed for, Io, these many years. To Father James M. Gillis we owe a debt of gratitude; to him we look with renewed hope, and for him we offer and will give the moral sunport that he so well deserves. We are grateful for any leadership, without regard to color or creed, that will now champion the cause of equal justice in this, our America. Democrats May Name Dr. W. J.

Holds On to Scaffold Rope Though Own Hands Are Burned to Bone Quick action by James Mack, 3510 Garfield Street, Northwest, saved the life of Peter Pronxi, 42, white, 308 H Street, Northwest, from almost certain death, Monday, when the scaffold on which the white man was working at the Winchester Apartments slipped. Although painfully hurt, Mack clung to the rope that controlled the falling scaffold from which Pronxi was suspended 85 feet from the ground. When Mack saw the scaffold slip he grabbed the rope and held on, although it burned his flesh to the bone. This broke the fall of Pronxi, who was taken to Georgetown Hospital, where he was treated for head injuries and a fracture of the pelvis. His condition is not considered serious. It was due to the quick heroic action of Mack and his ability to hang to the rope that the other man's life was saved. Porter Saves Employers $150,000 BROOKLYN, N.

Seven Fake $10 Bills and Gun Found on Nathan Davis When Arrested Nathan Davis, 700 block of Morton Street, was bonded over for the Federal grand jury following a preliminary hearing at Marlboro, Md., Tuesday, on a charge of passing counterfeit money. Davis had two charges of forgery and uttering against him, but the former charge was dismissed. According to testimony produced at the hearing Davis was on route to Baltimore on November 11, when he stopped at a gasoline filling station on the Baltimore Boulevard and had a minor repair made to his car. He gave the attendant a $10 bill, but when the gasoline station operator failed to make change Davis promised to pay for the repair on his return trip. A short distance up the road he stopped at another station to have the same repair made. The cost was 50 cents, and on giving the attendant a $10 bill he received $9.50 in change. In the meantime the first gasoline station operator became suspicious and notified police, who were given a description of the car Davis was driving and the license number. A short distance from Baltimore Davis was arrested, and when searched by police he had seven counterfeit $10 bills and a gun. At the hearing Tuesday there was not enough evidence to hold him for counterfeiting, but he was held on two charges of uttering or passing counterfeit money. Davis was represented by Attorneys Nathan Dobbins and S. R. Swaney, of Washington. He will be tried in Baltimore after being indicted USES IRON PIPE ON COLLECTOR USES IRON PIPE ON COLLECTOR Barber Fined $50 for Using Excessive Force on Former Employee For using an iron pipe on a former employee, seeking to collect a 30-cent bet, Leroy Davis, propriety of a barber shop at 1005 Fourteenth Street, was fined $50 by Police Court Judge Isaac R. Hitt, Friday morning. Despite his plea of self-defense the court ruled that Davis had used excessive force to protect himself from Charles Contee, Contee, a former employee of Davis, told the court that he went to the shop to get the 30 cents. When he came in the door Davis struck him over the head with an iron pipe. Contee had to be carried to a hospital for treatment. Davis testified that Contee had a bad reputation and had assaulted him at one time. He said he thought the man had a gun, so when he saw him coming he locked his barber shop door. Davis stated that Contee broke the lock on the door by kicking it open and as the man put his head in the door he struck him with the pipe.

PARENTS FACE BIG EXPENSE IF 3c FARE GOES Decade of Man's Work Hangs in Balance Awaiting Court's Decision The fate of a man's ten years' work hangs in the balance with the pending of the 3-cent car fare case before Justice Peyton Gordon in District Supreme Court this week. A spirited attack on the street car companies for trying to obtain a court order invalidating the special car fare rate for school children was made Tuesday when People's Counsel Richmond B. Keech and Assistant Corporation Counsel William A. Roberts filed a brief answering the contention of lawyers for the car companies. The companies seek an injunction to restrain the Public Utilities Commission from obeying the Act of Congress which mandatorially directed it to fix a street car fare for school children not exceeding three cents. The Commission fixed the maximum allowed under the act. The companies hold the act to be unconstitutional. J. C. Wright Father of Bill Congress passed the act in 1930 following a ten-year fight by James O. Wright, local high school teacher. Mr. Wright, a man of patience and rare ability, conceived the idea, gathered statistics and made a formal appeal to the government agencies, traction companies and civic organizations. His efforts of a decade were realized in 1930 when the bill passed. Following the passage of the Congressional act and the action of the Public Utilities Commission, Mr. Wright has made efforts to have the order changed to a cash fare for the children instead of the present method of a ten-ride strip ticket for 30 cents. Testimony in the case had been offered only by the companies until Tuesday. There have been oral arguments on legal points, directed to a motion by Kesch and Roberts to dismiss the case. The brief filed sums up these arguments. It challenges the right of the District Supreme Court in pass on the constitutionality of the 3-cent fare act, although holding the act to be constitutional. It also says that the suit is improperly brought as a protest against the order of the Commission because the P.U.C. has no right to reject an Act of Congress as unconstitutional and cannot refuse to obey a law enacted by Congress. Deny Companies Lose Claim by the companies that they have lost money by the reduced rates for the school children FAMILY JUMPS TO ESCAPE FLAMES Husband, Wife and 5-Year Old Boy Not Badly Hurt in Second-Story Leap Hayes Hackley, 42, 315 Virginia Avenue, his wife and their five-year-old son, dropped from their second-story bedroom window to escape the intruding flames which awakened them about 7 o'clock Tuesday morning. Mrs. Hackley sprained her ankle in the fall. Hackley was burned on the arm and the child, Rudolph, was uninjured. His father held him in his arms when he dropped. The fire, thought to have originated in the kitchen, was quickly extinguished by firemen before serious damage resulted. Mrs. Hackley was taken to Providence Hosuital for treatment. Office: 920 U St., N. W. can Ra LIN Highlights of Ra of Father James Science, History, and Holy the Negro by the Edito Nation-Wide Talk on Sur Highlights of Radio Address of Father James M. Gillis, C.S.P. Science, History, and Holy Writ Utilized in Defense of the Negro by the Editor of the Catholic World in Nation-Wide Talk on Sunday Afternoon. I shall probably be condemned as rash, for even proposing a problem that is usually considered too hot to handle. If the Negro, therefore, is a mere animal, the white man is a mere animal. Color doesn't matter essentially. Discrimination because of color is therefore not scientific. It is merely snobbish. The colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady are sisters under the skin. God does not, for the laws of nature are the laws of God. Now therefore, if the Negro is man just as truly as the white man, it follows that whatever rights or prerogatives belong to man as man, must not be denied to the Negro. In some localities there are different standards of justice in the law courts for blacks and for whites (a crime in the very place where crime is supposedly pun The white man and the black man are brothers; not even cousins in a collateral line of descent, but brothers, children of one original couple. There are vast numbers of white men whose cranial capacity is no more than that of the Negro. And finally, if any further proof be necessary that the Negro is fully and exclusively human, there is the fact that marriage of white and black is not unfruitful. In fact there are those who maintain that as much as one-third of the whole population of the United States has some strain of Negro blood. Nature does not abhor the union of the races. If nature does not, TEACHERS DISCUSS CREDIT UNION PLAN Development of a credit union was made the basis of study Wednesday night by the Washington Elementary Teachers Union at a meeting held in the parlor of the Phyllis Wheatley Young Women's Christian Association, called for expansion of that body to include the entire teaching personnel of the colored public schools. The union also directed that a committee be appointed for exhaustive study of a new rating sheet for teachers. Legislation affecting status of teachers, who would have reached class D or class B except for pay cuts and failures of promotions, was also made the basis for study. The meeting also was addressed by Edward H. Lawson, former president, and by E. L. Scott, president of Federal Employees Union, No. 71. The union directed reaffiliation with the General Labor Union, and affiliation with the Union of Federal Employees. Reports were made by Miss Nancy Atwood, Miss Juanita Howard and Mrs. Mary Mason Jones, president of various activities during the summer and fall. Mrs. E. E. King was chairman of the committee on program. Pollard Brings Special Car from Chicago Pritz Pollard of Chicago, famous athlete, came to the Howard-Lincoln game in a special car. Along with him came Jimmie Fletcher, now working out of Chicago. Among those noted at the game were Judge W. Henry of Philadelphia, Attorney A. C. Lattimore of New York City, Attorney Roy S. Bond, Baltimore, Editor P. B. Young of the Norfolk Journal and Guide; Editor Carl Murphy, of the Afro-American; J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks; Dr. Kelly Miller, Jr., of New York City; W. C. Hueston, of the Post Office Department; C. David Houston, principal of Armstrong High School. God does not, for the laws of nature are the laws of God. Now therefore, if the Negro is man just as truly as the white man, it follows that whatever rights or prerogatives belong to man as man, must not be denied to the Negro. In some localities there are different standards of justice in the law courts for blacks and for whites (a crime in the very place where crime is supposedly punished). He is the victim of such discrimination and injustice as would precipitate unending race riots if he were not more tolerant, more patient, and more law-abiding than his white neighbors. He must suffer incessantly, and if he were to rise in rebellion for even so much justice as is guaranteed to him by the federal constitution, he would be shot down like a dog. The black man is done with the "hat-in-hand, yes-sir-boss" attitude. He will not always be boot-black and lick-spittle for the white man. The difference between patriotism and Bolshevism seems sometimes only in the point of view. MORGAN DEFEATS STATE FOR C.I.A.A. FOOTBALL TITLE MORGAN DEFEATS STATE FOR C.I.A.A. FOOTBALL TITLE PETERSBURG, Va. — Morgan College won the C.I.A.A. football championship here Thursday by defeating Virginia State College by a score of 10-7 before the largest crowd that ever attended a game here. Morgan was first to score when Sturgis kicked a neld goal from State's 15-yard line in the first quarter. On the very next play, kick-off, Home raced ninety yards for a touchdown. With Young kicking a goal the half ended, State leading 7-3, having stopped Morgan on the one-yard line at close. With but three minutes of game left, Wilson scored for Morgan on a plunge through tackle from State's three-yard line, after Morgan had marched steadily from her own forty-yard line. Sturgis added extra point. The game ended with State in possession of the ball on Morgan's 3-yard line. Morgan opened up a series of passes in a last moment desperate attempt. Miss Helen Eagles was crowned "Queen of the Classic" at the Howard-Lincoln game here Thanksgiving Day. She wore a beautiful gray ensemble with hat and shoes to match and a very attractive fur coat. Miss Eagles is of that beautiful olive brown, about 5 feet 4 inches in height, and about 110 in weight. She made a real picture as she appeared at the classic in the Howard stadium.

QUEEN OF THE CLASSIC 5,000 SEE BISONS ROUT LIONS IN HOLIDAY CLASSIC Sally Hall Stars as Howard Wins Thanksgiving Day Grid Battle Coming out of a depression season with only as single game to her credit Howard University rose against her ancient foe of 27 years standing here, Thanksgiving Day, and handed Lincoln University one of the worst defeats since 1928, when Howard won their annual football contest, 12 to 0. The Bisons won by the same score this week in the first classic played in the Howard Stadium before a crowd that was variously estimated from 2,000 to 5,000. It was the smallest crowd that has attended a game between the two schools. A last minute reduction in admission prices failed to bolster the gate receipts. Hall Scores Howard scored its first touchdown near the end of the second quarter when a drive from Lincoln's 45-yard line aided by a 9-yard pass carried the ball over. Hall carried the ball over from the 2-yard line. On a fake place kick Howard attempted to run the ball for the extra point, but was thrown outside before reaching the goal line. Hall again gained the plaudits of the fans when he paved the way for the second Howard touchdown by intercepting a Lincoln pass on the Lions' 14-yard line. On the second play, a Hall-to-Ware lateral pass was good for a touchdown when Ware grabbed the sphere and amashed through the Lincoln line for the score. Hall's place kick went wide of the uprights. First Quarter Ball The first quarter found both teams wary and refusing to take the offensive. The ball was booted up and down the field with the advantage in Howard's favor. The quarter ended with the ball on Lincoln's 40-yard line. Never was the Bisons' goal in danger and Lincoln never reached a position to really cause the Bisons to take it seriously. Harrison, Raney and Ashby did most of the ball carrying for the visitors. 6 Out of 32 Passes Completed Lincoln attempted 11 passes and completed two for a gain of 25 yards. Howard completed 4 out of 21 for a gain of 47 yards. Ware intercepted a Lincoln pass near the end of the fourth quarter and ran 40 yards to Lincoln's 30-yard line, but fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Lincoln. Outstanding among the stars for Howard weir. Sally Hall, whose brilliant running and passing gained yard after yard for his team. Ware, another backfield ace, starred time and again by ground gaining and passing. Perry Howard and Johnson were in on every play while they were in the game. Start Was Late The weather was perfect, but rather warm for football. The game was scheduled to start at 1:30, but the kick-off was not made until 2 o'clock. Lincoln was completely outplayed, making only seven first downs to sixteen for Howard. FORWARD LINCOLN STATISTICS Number of rushes Yards gained rushing. First downs rushing. Yards lost rushing.

Survey Reveals that College Students have no Definite Aim Out of Thirty Students Questioned at Howard, Inquirer Finds Only Two Who Gave Intelligent Answers on Subject By MARGARET BARNES Howard University News Release. It's really quite amazing how very few students have stopped to consider what to them represents the most important feature of college life. They actually seem confused and stammer. "Why—why, I dunno." Out of approximately 25 or 30 students who were questioned on this subject, only two gave intelligent answers. And it's quite interesting to note that both answers were given by young men. One said: "Well, to me, social contacts are the most important feature of college life. The contacts which a student makes in college determine, to a large degree, his success in after college life." Would be "Big Shot" The other intelligent answer was this: "I consider the most important feature of college life that of obtaining sufficient education to insure myself of a fair break when I've finished here." In other words, the young man wants to be a "big shot" and he feels that college is one of the stepping stones toward attaining that end. The attitude of most of the students makes one wonder—and wonder seriously—why so many young men and young women feel that after high school- college is the next natural institution. Not for any particular reason other than that of entering the collegiate stream. Of course, a number of parents send their daughters to college only in hope that they will eventually marry this or that rising young doctor, or lawyer, since such a marriage will entail elaborate write-ups in various papers with outlandish descriptions and quite a number of misspelled names, thus securing publicity after a fashion and satisfying ambitious mothers who feel that college has its good points. Men Get "College Habit" As for the young men, a bit more may be said in their favor, even if a number of them do acquire what might be termed the "college habit," and return year after year. At least a few of them can find excuses for being in college. One or two actually want education and in time their perseverance is rewarded. Day in and day out bells ring, and students, who are really in doubt as to what college means to them, go on attending classes. CONVENTION OF CATHOLICS HELD AT ANACOSTIA Capital News Service The first annual convention of the Catholics of Anacostia, D.C., was held Sunday at the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Leo P.

HOWARD LIBRARY HAS INTERESTING LIST OF NEW BOOKS All Available Space Being Rapidly Filled Up With Recent Acquisitions Howard University News Release. If new books continue to come into the Howard University library at the present rate, the proposed new library building, prevented from early realization by the depression, will become an absolute necessity to provide shelf space for them, in a few years. Library hall in the basement of the present building, formerly used for meetings and assemblies, is no longer available for these purposes. The spacious hall has been lined with shelves which already are filled with row upon row of drab-colored volumes. **Books Arrive Constantly** Since June 1 of this year, new books have been arriving constantly. The recently acquired works include novels, biographies, recent editions of text books, and books on religion and philosophy. Some are in gaudy paper covers; some are imposing in sturdy cloth backs; here and there are a few in the dignified and expensive dark leather binding. Among the volumes recently acquired that will soon be available for student use are such works as James Truslow Adams's "Epic of America." Galsworthy's recent triumph, "Our Worshipful Society"; the versatile and much talked of "Washington Merry - Go - Round"; Professor Sterling Brown's "Southern Road"; Vicki Baum's "And Life Goes On"; Edna Ferber's "American Beauty"; and Pearl S. Buck's "The Good Earth."

Tabernacle Baptist "I press forward to the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14. The Rev. Mr. Bradshaw declared that the greatest task of any Christian should be that of shaping his life after that of the lowly Nazarine. Sunday morning the Sunday school devoted most of its time to a special Thanksgiving literary program. The program included numbers by children from each class in the Sunday school. The Women's Club of the church presented Miss Daisy M. Young in a recital, Thursday evening. The congregation was delighted at the manner in which Miss Young interpreted the various numbers of her program. The affair was a great success and proved Miss Young's ability as a vocalist. She is directress of the music department of Tabernacle. A new club has been organized at Tabernacle—the Progressive Club. The club is composed of 13 young men and one young lady. The officers are Miss Beatrice Suydan president; Bernard Chapman, vice president; Paul Blackwell, secretary; James Hayes, treasurer; and the Rev. Mr. Johnson, chapain. The club presented its initial program Sunday evening. The congregation was amazed at the splendid talent which the young men displayed.

White-Man and Black (Continued from page 1) capacities of Negroes and Caucasians, in which he compared the measurements of the skulls and found them generally equal, the priest went into what is generally recognized as the white man's hysteria—intermarriage. Using the theory that as much as one-third of the whole popula- tion of the United States has some strain of Negro blood in it, the Rev. Mr. Gillis inferred that fruitful intermarriage is evidently not frowned on by the Creator. The address was the third of a series of eight addresses which will be heard every Sunday afternoon between now and Christmas. The program is sponsored by the National Council of Catholic Men, showing the Catholic attitude on certain crucial questions. The Rev. Mr. Gillis is a native of Boston and a graduate of the Boston Latin School, St. Charles College and the Catholic University of America, located in Washington. Besides being a capable writer and lecturer, the Paulist clergyman spent fourteen years in extensive missionary work. The full address follows: White Man and Black BY THE REV. JAMES M. GILLIS, CSP. We come today to a ticklish problem, the interrelationship of the white race and the black. I shall probably be condemned as rash, for even proposing a problem that is usually considered too hot to handle, and whatever opinions I presume to submit will probably be rejected out of hand by those who feel that the simple and sufficient solution of the problem of the Negro is to "keep him in his place" The familiar formula, however, begs the question. What is the black man's place? Was he designed by nature to be, and must he ever remain a subject race, less than wholly human, a footstool for the white man, a "lesser breed without the law", a pariah, and "untouchable", segregated, disfranchised (constitution or no constitution), an alien in the land of his birth, a victim of discrimination' and of persecution? Was there placed upon him aboriginally by his Creator the mark of the beast, or the stigma of Ishmael? Was he in the beginning anathemized by God, and must he be in consequence, interdicted and excommunicated by God's favorite, the white man? Scores Sub-Human Theory By way of answer, let us first be rid of the impossible theory that the Negro is not wholly a man: Impossible theologically, for it is heresy to say that the Negro has no soul, or that he is not destined to the Kingdom of Heaven; impossible ethnologically, because there is no atom of scientific evidence that the Negro is sub-human. Of course there are evolutionists, of a most extreme type, who insist that all men, black or white, are essentially animals and nothing more, but even the most materialistic evolutionist admits that "all human branches are derived from the same animal source." If the Negro, therefore, is a mere animal, the white man is a mere animal. Color doesn't matter essentially. A white horse is a horse, a black horse is a horse; a Jersey cow is a cow, and a Holstein is a cow. Nor do certain other dissimilarities of shape or of the size matter. A bull dog, a mastiff, a collie, and a Newfoundland are all equally dog. Even a Pomeranian and a Pekinese are dog. And so, a white man, a red man, a yellow man, and a black man are all equally man. Discrimination because of color is therefore not scientific. It is merely snobbish. "The Colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady are sisters under the skin," no matter how high the Colonel's lady may tilt her nose at mention of that simple ethnological fact; and so, too, the black man and the white man are brothers under the skin, no matter how much the white man may rebel against that incontrovertible scientific dogma. All Men Blood Brothers We may talk of the black race, the brown race, the yellow race, the red race and the white race, but there is only one race—the human race. I am speaking now, not metaphorically, but physiologically, anatomically, sociologically: the white man and the black man are brothers, not even cousins in a collateral line of descent, but brothers, children of the one original couple. As a matter of fact, one of the results of the investigation of Darwin was to strengthen the argument for monogeny, the theory that all men are descended from one pair of ancestors, and to weaken the argument for polygeny, the theory that there were two or more source-origins of the human race. And in this, at least, the Catholic teaching coincides with Darwinism. With us it would be heretical to say that the white race is from Adam and Eve and the black race from some other aboriginal pair. We are all of the one same stock. Another physiological fact links the black man with the white and separates him from the brute. The cranial capacity of the highest apes is about 450 cubic centimeters. The cranial capacity of man is from 1,250 to 1,600 cubic centimeters. It is true that certain Negroes still in the jungles show a lower figure normally than that of most white men, but whereas the skull of the highest apes has never a capacity of more than 450, the skull of the lowest Negro seldom if ever goes below 1,100; it is generally from 1,250 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, NOVEMBER 25, 1932 to 1,400; the skull of the white man is never larger than 1,600, and there are vast numbers of white men whose cranial capacity is no more than that of the Negro. Not that the precise number of cubic centimeters matters, for at least one excellent scientist tells us (Guilbert: Les Origines) "above 1,100 c.c., the size of the brain is no guide to the intellect." the crimes we commit against the black man. We have not even ceased to deal unmercifully with him. If we have, as the government now recognizes that we have, a duty to protect the Indian, why shall we not recognize our responsibility to the Negro? We have done him more bitter injustice than the red man. We robbed the red man and killed him, but we kidnapped, the Mixed Marriages Not Unfruitful And finally if any further proof be necessary, that the Negro is fully, and exclusively human, there is the fact that marriage of white and black is not unfruitful. In fact there are those who maintain that as much as one-third of the whole population of the United States has some strain of Negro blood. Be that statement accurate or exaggerated, the unquestionable fact remain, that however much man, both white men and black men, may revolt from miscegenation, Nature does not abhor the union of the races. If Nature does not, God does not, for the laws of Nature are the laws of God. And the Church takes her cue from the law of God, rather than from the feelings or prejudices of men. The Church Will Consecrate a Mulatto The Church will baptize a mulatto, ordain him priest or consecrate him bishop. She has done so here in the United States. She does not consider the offspring of a Negro and a white as a monster. Enough! The ape is an ape, and man is man, be he black or white. Now therefore, if the Negro is man just as truly as the white man, it follows that whatever rights or prerogatives belong to man as man, must not be denied to the Negro. And yet in certain parts of our country disabilities are heaped upon him because he is a Negro. In many localities he is denied the vote, even though that denial involves fraud or force upon the part of the white man. In some sections he receives lower wages than the white man for the same work. In other sections, he is charged higher rent than the white man for the same housing. The Negro's Ambitions Are Frustrated His natural ambition to rise to something better than menial occupation and to fit himself for it is frustrated by local law, by custom or even by physical violence; he is refused admittance to certain trade unions; in many states he is denied membership in white churches; he dare not attempt to take communion with the whites; likewise except in the North, he cannot attend schools, public or private, with the whites, and the public schools into which he is segregated are inferior in architecture, in location and in scholastic standing to the others, although the black man pays his school tax like any other man. He is kept out of select hotels, restaurants and places of public entertainment, not only in the South but in the North. Where the Jim Crow law is in effect, he is taxed for parks, libraries and other places of instruction or entertainment which he is not permitted to use. Courts of Justice Tainted In some localities there are different standards of justice in the law courts for blacks and for whites (a crime in the very place where crime is supposedly punished). In a thousand cities and towns and villages, he is segregated with his fellows away from white neighborhoods as strictly as if he were a leper. If he ventures to buy or to rent a house in a "white" district, his home may be bombed (one wealthy Negro's home in Chicago was bombed seven times) and he will be granted no legal redress. He is subject to mob violence, denied trial by jury, and if suspected of certain crimes, he is lynched. His women folk suffer molestation, but, if in a fit of mad resentment, he retaliates he is shot down or perhaps burned alive. And, of course, he is prohibited in certain states under terrific penalties from intermarriage with whites. On the whole the Negro is considered an alien, an outcast, and as it were, a leper in our midst. He is ostracized if not exiled. He is the victim of such discrimination and injustice as would precipitate unending race riots if he were not more tolerant, more patient, and more law-abiding than his white neighbors. He must suffer incessantly and cruelly from them, and if he were to rise in rebellion for even so much justice as is guaranteed to him by the Federal Constitution, he would be shot down like a dog, and I fear that vast numbers of "liberty-loving Americans" would say that it served him right; that he should take what he gets and be thankful for it; that he should know his place and be content with it. A Call to Confession Now, fellow citizens of the white race, let us confess that all this is manifestly and outrageously wrong. We are treating the Negro as unjustly, if not with quite so much bloody cruelty, as we treated the Indian. Whatever we are doing now to atone for our crimes against the red man from whom we stole the continent, we are doing little or nothing to stone for the crimes we commit against the black man. We have not even ceased to deal unmercifully with him. If we have, as the government now recognizes that we have, a duty to protect the Indian, why shall we not recognize our responsibility to the Negro? We have done him more bitter injustice than the red man. We robbed the red man and killed him, but we kidnapped the black man and enslaved him. The traders in human flesh and blood who sailed from New England and elsewhere to Africa, swooped down upon the blacks, butchered thousands of them, brought the rest back in chains and sold them into bondage, were guilty of as great a sin as that of Oliver Cromwell, who slaughtered thousands of the Irish and sold the remainder into slavery in Barbados. They were a "Godly" generation of church goers, Bible readers and psalm singers, but they brought down a blight upon this country and a curse upon their own souls. And if the curse of God, as the Bible seems to say, can pass to the third and the fourth generation, the stain if not the guilt of that sin against the black man is still upon the soul of the white man. It is for us to wash it away with the baptism of humiliation and with works of penance. If Can't Do Penceance, Give Justice at Least If works of penance are too much in these soft degenerate days, if in contition for the sins of our predecessors and our own sins, we cannot bring ourselves to works of mercy to the colored man, at least let us give him simple justice. If not—if we persist in the outrage our ancestors have done the black man, or the lesser crimes that we ourselves have committed against him, let us understand that we are storing up danger for our descendants. The black man, thank God, is no longer a slave, nor does he continue to be as obsequious and subservient as the old tradition would have him. He is emancipated in more senses than one. Lincoln struck off the shackles from the black man's limbs, but the black man is now progressively throw-off the shackles of his mind. As one of his own newspapers has said, the black man is done with the "bat-in-hand, yes-sir-boss" attitude. He will not always be bootblack and lick-spit-tle for the white man. The black man has emigrated by hundreds of thousands from the South. Perhaps he was happier there. But his leaders kept taunting him to come away from what they called "peonage," and be free in the North. "All you have to do," they said, "is to step on a train and ride for a day and a night to freedom. You don't have to wait year after year for the white people to build you a school. The schools are here and you are welcome to them. You don't have to tip your hat to a white man unless you know him and like him." A Help or a Menace—Which Shall It Be? So they came North and they are feeling their freedom. Their new confidence, their strength, their talent (yes, they have aboundant talent) can be used for this nation or against it. Some of them have turned Bolshevik, like one of their poets (Claude McKay), who sings this terrible song: "O kinsmen, we must meet the common foe; Though far outnumbered, let us still be brave, And for that thousand blows, deal one death blow: What though before us lies the open grave, Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack—Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back." If that hymn of hate had been composed in 1776 and sung against the power that was taxing Americans and refusing them adequate representation we should call it patriotic. But the black man suffers almost if not quite as much from us as we suffered from King George. The difference between patriotism and Bolshevism seems sometimes only in the point of view. Let us then be careful that we do not give the black man cause for rebellion. But above and beyond that selfish reason for according him justice, let us return to the first reason; the black man and the white man are by God's creation brethren, children of the same father on earth and the same Father in heaven, redeemed alike, the one and the other by Jesus Christ, and having equal rights to the kingdom of heaven.

Bishop Carter Urges Building a Daily Paper LA. GRANGE, Ga. — (CNS)— "The Negro must immediately build a large daily newspaper in which he may be able to express himself freely and untrammeled," declared Bishop R. A. Carter in an address before the Georgia annual conference of the C.M.E. Church held here this week. Presiding over more than 150 laymen and ministers, delegates to the Southwest Georgia Conference of the Colored Methodists Episcopal Church in session here, Bishop Carter stirred his audience when he made the above statement. He continued: "It is not merely business or money that demands this paper, but it becomes our duty to give to the world this type of paper in a time when free expression in all too many instances is denied us. "The Negro must become both a moral and religious factor in this oation. He cannot wait for our white brethern to cry fo us at all times and protest the wrongs committed by those who should be protecting every citizen." Others addressing the conference were Drs. H. P. Porter, general book agent, Jackson, Tenn.; J. A. Martin, Sunday school editor, Atlanta, and J. A. Bray, Birmingham. St. Paul A.M.E. Church The pastor, the Rev. G. O.

They Had to Be Shown NEW YORK CITY (CNS)—The Mills Brothers—four boys and a guitar—have made one of the most meteoric rises in the annals of radio. Their appearance on a sustaining program and an immediate sign-up on a commercial is already a matter of radio history. It was impossible to conceive that four boys could produce the effects of a regular orchestra without the aid of any instrument other than the guitar and the use of their hands and lips. Skeptics by the hundreds were invited into the studio at each broadcast to witness the truth of this feat. Radio and Broadway columnists daily wrote of their intriguing harmonies and weird effects. The public was rapidly convinced that they actually accomplish their style of "orchestrated singing" with the use of only the hands, voices and a guitar. Their appearance on the stage is proving one of the best drawing cards in vaudeville at the present time. Because he has caught 900 ground hogs during the past 3 years, James Perry, of Tazewell county, Va., believes that he should be dubbed the world's champion ground hog trapper. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

L. Pct. Armstrong 2 0 1.000 Dunbar 0 1 .000 Cardozo 0 1 .000 Final Game Dunbar vs. Vardozo, Walker Stadium, Monday, November 28, at 3 p.m. By virtue of a 13 to 6 victory over Dunbar, Monday afternoon, the Orange and Black clad warriors of Armstrong High School won the District High School football championship in a battle that left the result in doubt until the final whistle ended one of the hardest fought grid games in the history of the feud between the two schools. It was the first title Tech has won since 1929, when Armstrong triumphed. 6 to 0. GREEN STATS The game had hardly got under way before Green, of Dunbarn, intercepted an Armstrong pass on his own 40-yard line and galloped over the goal line for the first touchdown. Thompson's place kick was blocked for the extra point. Dunbarn failed to take advantage of an earlier golden opportunity when an Armstrong kick was blocked and recovered by Dunbarn on Tech's 20-yard line. Jackson reeled off 10 yards, followed by Thompson, who added five more to Armstrong's 5-yard line. On two more plays Thompson placed the ball on Armstrong's 1-foot line. Here the Tech line held like a wall and Dunbarn lost the ball on downs. Pass Ruled Good The Techmen came back with renewed energy in the second quarter to even the count at 6-alf when a long pass, Mitchell to Henderson, was ruled good by the officials when a Poet man interfered with the receiver. This aerial placed the ball on Dunbar's 5-yard marker. From here Berry Williams took it over for the score. The placement kick was blocked. The third quarter found both teams fighting with Armstrong carrying the fight at all times into the opponents' territory. In the final minutes of this quarter with Turpin and Berry Williams carrying the ball the sphere was placed on Dunbar's 1-yard line as the quarter ended. Turpin Scores On the first play in the fourth stanza Turpin carried the ball over for Tech's second touchdown. Williams made a long end run to cross the goal for the extra point. Dunbar opened a passing attack in the final session that kept the Tech players on the alert. A 40-yard pass, Matthews to Jackson, started Dunbar on a drive to Armstrong's goal, but a second pass was intercepted by Turpin, who ran it to Tech's 20-yard line. The game ended with the ball on the Poets' 20-yard line and they desperately trying to score. Final Game Monday The outstanding players for Armstrong were Berry Williams and Turpin, while Matthews, Jackson and Green starred for the Poets. The final game of the city series will be played Monday when Dunbar meets Cardozo. As Armstrong has always won two games it will retain the city championship despite the outcome of this game. Dunbar and Cardozo have each lost one game, while Armstrong has a clean slate in the series. ARMSTRONG DUNBAR Diggs ..... L.E..... Fenwick C. Dixon ..... L.T..... Duvale Carrington ..... L.G..... T.

GRID TITLE Cheyney and Downingtown End Season Without Single Defeat DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.-On a soggy, rain-soaked, slippery and muddy field, Downingtown finished a glorious season undefeated, by trouncin, the Bowie Normal School team, on Downingtown's campus, last Saturday, 19 to 6. Downingtown drew first blood when White, the steady Downingtown fullback, ran 55 yards on the Pennsylvania school's first play for a touchdown. An unsuccessful goal kick for the extra point left the game at the very outset in favor of the hosts. Pass Intercepted The second quarter opened with Downingtown carrying the fight into Bowie's territory. Sperling intercepted a pass on Bowie's 21-yard line and pushed the soaked big-skin up to the 1-yard marker. Then he pushed it over for the Industrial School's second counter of the game. In the same quarter Sperling again intercepted a pass on Bowie's 21-yard line and was downed; but a pass from White to Ford placed the pig-skin on Bowie's 1-yard marker. Frisby had the honor of pushing it over with a strong line attack. R. Ford gave the extra point by again running the ball over. Fromthis point on, the Marylanders bolstered their line and like a stone wall, it held the Downingtown shock-troops in check. The outstanding player for the visitors was Bessick, who received the ball on a kick-off and caught the Downingtowners asleep to run 60 yards around an unguarded end for the only Bowie counter of the day, and the first time that Downingtown's goal had been crossed during the season. By beating Bowie, Downingtown placed itself in a dual contention for first place in the Middle Atlantic Athletic Association, composed of teams from Cheyney, Bordentown, State College, Princess Anne, Bowie and Storer College. The dispute is now with Cheyne, whose team has played one more game than Downingtown, and like Downingtown, remains unde- feated by its victory over Bordenton town while Downingtown was de- feating Bowie.

HAMPTON SECURES OLYMPIC MOVIES HAMPTON SECURES OLYMPIC MOVIES Special Sound Equipment to be Installed for the Showing By GEORGE A. KUYPER HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. Through the enterprise of its director of physical education, Charles H. Williams, the student body and staff of Hampton Institute will have the privilege of being the first audience in America to see the special sound pictures of the Olympic Games held at Los Angeles, California, last summer. The showing will take place in Ogden Hall next Saturday evening. November 26. at 7:45. These films were prepared by the Fox Film Company for European distribution only. While in New York making arrangements for the Hampton-Howard football game, Mr. Williams was permitted to attend a private pre-view. He was so impressed with their quality, having been present at the Olympic Games, that he desired to arrange for their showing at Hampton Institute. He immediately attempted to rent them. When the Fox Company refused to do this, Mr. Williams bought them outright. Because Ogden Hall, the auditorium of Hampton Institute, is not equipped for the projection of sound pictures, Mr. Williams made arrangements for a temporary installation of talking picture equipment. In addition to the showing of the pictures, three members of the Hampton Institute family will speak. George D. Williams, a student at Hampton Institute, one of the outstanding athletes in the country, holder of numerous records for the javelin throw, and a leading contender last summer for the honor of representing the United States in his event, will give his impressions of the games. Dr. Harry D. Howe, school physician, and Charles H. Williams, who is responsible for Hampton Institute's having the films, both of whom were in California for the Olympics, will give sketches of the events they witnessed. JUST A LITTLE FOOTBALL When our football season's over, We'll all feel kind of lost, Just like a delicate bit of clover In a frozen field of frost. Every one is tackling, running, We care not for bumps nor spills; Dashing, running, jumping, skid- ding, Ah, these golden football thrills. I can see the enemy sliding, Into our trackless waiting there, Do your stuff and stop your kid- ding. Play it rough, but play it fair. Every one is working, sweating, But this work is only fun, When you're finished, I'll be bet- ting. You'll be sorrow that you're done. Slowly, surely, time is changing. Soon we must all change our ways. But no matter where we're stay- ing. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. NOVEMBER 25, 1932 VIRGINIA STATE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SQUAD Morgan - Hampton Tilt to Decide C.I.A.A.

By Garland Mackey BY GARRAN MAYNE The C.I.A.W. a gridiron championship will be decided at Petersburg Thursday when Morgan College, of Baltimore, meets Virginia State in a struggle for football honors. Both teams have been through the season without a setback and each has been in a scoreless tie. The Union-Hampton fray at Hampton on the same day will decide the second place holders. Each team has lost one game this year. The dope bucket is rather evenly perched upon its sports page shelf and scribes confronted with the problem of picking winners are scratching their heads as the day of pigskin melees and national feasting arrives. leasing arrives. Union opened the season with a brilliant win over A. and T., 20-0; dropped to Morgan, 24-0; routed Howard, 19-7; upset St. Paul, 20-0; walked over Shaw, 20-0; and batted State to a 6-6 deadlock. It is now priming for Hampton on Thanksgiving Day. Hampton, who suffered one defeat at the hands of Virginia State and one deadlock with Morgan, hovers between second and fourth place. Morgan and Virginia State, tied for first place honors with one tie in six games each, will battle on even terms Thanksgiving Day at Rogers Field. ED. GORDAN AIDS KNOXVILLE COACH ED. GORDAN AIDS KNOXVILLE COACH Broad Jump Champion now Assistant Mentor at Tennessee College KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Coach Wallace O. Hawkins, of Knoxville College, has Ed Gordon, of Olympic fame as assistant football coach this fall. Mr. Gordon returned to Knoxville from his trip to the Olympics soon after college opened and has been rendering valuable service to the Bulldog squad. In the 1932 Olympics at Los Angeles Gordon won the running broad jump, becoming international champion. It is interesting to note that DeHart Hubbard, who won the same event in the Olympics eight years ago, has a brother who plays quarterback on the Knoxville team which Gordon is helping to coach. In high school the world-famous athlete was a football player; as a college student at the University of Iowa he was an outstanding track athlete and won many honors for his alma mater. Mr. Gordon expects to complete his graduate work in physical education for a master's degree. His work with the K. C. team this fall has given Coach Hawkins more time with the first string men and has given the reserves greater incentive to play hard while on the practice field. Tuskegee High Wins From Snow Hill, 19-6 TUSKEGEE, Ala.—The Tuskegee Institute High School eleven upset the Sn-7 Hill team, 19 to 6, here in the Alumni Bowl Saturday. The locals scored in the first, third and fourth quarters, while the visitors pushed over their lone touchdown in the final period. After a pass, English to Griffin, had placed the ball on Tuskegee's 5-yard line, Radford carried the ball over from this point. The Snow Hill team is coached by Ruban Alba, a former member of the Tuskegee Institute football team, who is now directing the athletic and other recreational activities at Snow Hill Institute.

State Falls Victim to Panthers on Rain- Soaked Field By RICHIE C. KELLER RICHMOND, Va.—Uncorking a running rampage to score three touchdowns in the first quarter of a thrill-packed "mud melee," the Virginia Union University Panthers, with Gut Williams, Cubby Gill, Mickey Yancey, and Maxie Robinson in the van romped rough shod over the N. C. State Eagles to the tune of a 25-7 drubbing, Saturday. While raincoated fans yelled in soddy bleachers, Williams, of Union, kicked off to Malone, who reeled off 10 yards from his own 18-yard line. The Eagle advance was repelled by the Panther forward wall and Mickey Yancey took the punt on his own 40-yard line and rushed it back to the Eagles' 40-yard line. Gill, Williams, and Robinson ploughed the line and ran rings around the Eagles to tally the first marker with Williams carrying the ball. On two occasive kick-offs N. C. State fumbled and the Panthers recovered each time and scored two additional touchdowns. The score at the end of the first quarter was, Union, 18: N. C. State, 0. In the second quarter, a determined Eagle aggregation led by Malone and Dooms retaliated with a touchdown. The remainder of the quarter saw two muddy teams battling on rather even terms. The score at the end of the first half was, Union, 18; N. C. State, 7. The Eagles, unable to meet the Panthers on the ground, attempted an aerial attack. Davis and Taylor, assisted by Jones, broke up this attack by intercepting passes and plunging for gains for the Panthers. VA. UNION N. C. STATE Allen L.E. Holmes Thompson L.T. Brandon Lestat L.G.

TIPTON LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — Virginia State's strong aggregation of Thunder Lords forged a bolt and hurled it against an ill functioning Tiger machine, in the midst of mud formed by approximately 24 hours of continuous rain, and overcame their adversaries by a score of 20 to 0, Saturday. A pass to Boyd, of State, netted them their first touchdown. Bounds made the extra point. St. Paul received and kicked back to State, and here another drive started that gave the Martin aggregation another touchdown. It was made by Bounds on an off-tackle run. Bounds also made the extra point. the second half offered few sensations. It was a mighty fight between two mighty lines, but the clock work of State's backfield functioned better than the pride of St. Paul. The third quarter ended with the score still 14 to 0. The fourth quarter began starring Hall, St. Paul end, who threw State's backs for several losses. The game at this point featured a mighty fight, but again State completed a pass to Boyd for six points. Williamson, St. Paul guard blocked an attempt for an extra point made by Bounds. Gains, Tiger end, whose sensational playing has always been a big asset to St. Paul, picked up the last kick off and ran 40 yards up the field, only to hear the final shot of the gun.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL WRITER RECALLS VISIT OF FOCH TO HOWARD Howard University News Release. Lists of visitors to Howard University have included the names of residents of the United States, ambassadors, scholars, literary and musical celebrities, and other great en of the East, the West, the north, and the North quarters of e earth. But, in the memories many of the university community present at the time, no guest brought more complete please than did M. Ferdinand Foch, arshal of France, commander in lef of the Allied Armies, on Number 16, 1921. On that date, degree of doctor of laws was inferred upon him by the president of Howard University. Impressive Setting An autumn day, cold and clear; R.O.T.C. units of the university in full uniform, the olive drab the colored war veterans of the strict of Columbia and representatives of all colored units that had in with Foch in active overseas vice; the R.O.T.C. band playing Marseillaise; the campus decoded with the Stars and Stripes of U.S.A., and the Tri-Color ofance; colored lights mixed with sunset glow on Howard Hill: use all formed a setting for the emony taking place on a stage front of of the Carnegie library the campus. The ceremony attending the visit Marshal Foch was one of the st impressive within his memory twelve years at Howard University, states Professor Charles Eaton rch, acting head of the Depart- of English. "The visit," he s, "typified a completely satis- celebration—the dignity of academic event, the solemity a military occasion, the ac- knowledgement of the universality service." Mrs. Daniels Comments Mrs. Allen Mercer Daniels, wife of the acting librarian of the school of Law, who has been a resident of the Howard University neighborhood for more than 20 decades, has described vividly man and the occasion. Also, she has given an impression of the in whose experiences and strategies have caused him to be called "greatest generalissimo of all ages." Speaking of Foch as she saw him, Mrs. Daniels said he had a sense that grave, even stern, one that was occasionally lightly by a particularly pleasing smile. "His eyes," she continued, seemed to look beyond the crowd. Howard to do him honor. He seemed to be remembering his own—and its ruined towns and gutted hills—and, perhaps, seeing the back-robed women, the children, and the returned soldiers trying to claim their common Fatherland. In an erect, athletic figure was his, every muscle showing an attitude that expressed firmness and resolution. His clothing, his bearing indicated him as a soldier and a student as well as a comrade. While speaking, his gestures were all those of reverent gratitude for the art that America, including her colored soldiers, had played in the war." Had Long Experience Marsal Foch's career began shortly after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. He carried into his duty during the World War of 1914-1918 personal memories of the wrongs France had received at the hands of her enemies during that earlier struggle. Out of the World War he brought appreciation of all those who helped right those wrongs. Of that number there were more than 400,000 colored soldiers, 130,000 of whom saw active service under his leadership. At Des Moines, Iowa, 659 officers were trained, 95 being Howard alumni, and 1,786 men were trained for war work on Howard University campus. Commanded Six Million In 1918, Marshal Foch was made supreme commander of the allied armies of England, France, and America. He directed the movements of more than six million men in an almost continuous battle during the last seven months of the World War. It was during this last drive of the Allies that he won the reputation that has gone into history as a unique wielder of untrained man power. And it was during this period that he made his estimate of the soldier as expressed as follows by him during his memorable visit to Howard University. Praises Colored Troops Praises Colored Troops "I recollect the commendable and indispensable service rendered by the colored troops upon the soil of France. I knew well that Howard University contributed largely in the war. I knew also that through the love and energy of this great institution of learning as manifested for France, that the soldiers actuated by these impulses gloriously fought in France. Although our green sod covers the bones of many of your comrades, France shall not forget the magnificent efforts of Howard University, and the costly efforts made by the colored soldiers, the shedding of their blood upon the altar of freedom shall mark an important epoch in the history of human action." Workmen found 30 layers of paper on the walls of an old house in Stockholm, Sweden. The original layer, which dated back to the 16th century, was embellished with hand-painted designs. Not Guilty By NANNIE BURROUGHS The Afro-American says that I was on the payroll of the National Republican Committee. I was not. No political party can hire me. I did not receive a red cent for my services. The Afro-American has always been very fair. Live up to your reputation. I advise the editor or his informants to get a list of those who were employed by the National Republican Committee and make a correct classification. My name will be listed among those who gave their services. Representatives of the Republican party sought my service, advice and counsel. I could have named my price for platform service, but I refused. I could have held down a desk at headquarters, but did not choose to do it. Put this down on the fly leaf of your Bible if you have one—Nannie Burroughs was offered everything that the National Republican Committee could possibly offer a campaign worker and was shown every courtesy by the officials. She refused the pay and appreciated the courtesies. Congressman Oscar DePriest and Hon. Chas. E. Mitchell can tell you the truth about my refusal to accept pay for my services. They are worth more than any political party can pay for them. Furthermore, I represent the National League of Republican Colored Women. As long as I am at the head of that group of fine women I shall look out for them and their interest. I did it in the other two campaigns and I did it in this one. The party has our demands and it will consider them before this fight is over and if it does not the representatives of the National League of Republican Colored Women are not without plans. While you are looking up the information about my activities in the campaign and my representations to the leaders of the Republican party, suppose you go a step farther and ask Mrs. Ellis Yost what I said to her, or suppose you ask Mrs. Mary Booze, national committeewoman from Mississippi, what I said to ranking officials of the National Republican Committee. I was not speaking for Nannie Burroughs because as I aforesaid, they offered me everything and showed me every courtesy, but I did speak and I did write for Negro women. I am not quitting the Republican party. I am going to fight a good fight. I am fighting for certain principles and fundamentals, and if I leave the party, believe me, I am not going to a party that does not stand for equal suffrage. Believe it or not, the Republican party is going to be born again. But that is another story. Let me take up the last charge. The editor of the Afro-American can said that I am among the list of "talk up and talk down orators who stood on the same platform on which they stood a short while ago and talked President Hoover down." I have never talked President Hoover down and never will. In the campaign I discussed "Sound Americanism." That subject is bigger than any man and comprehends all that that I know about the vital political questions of our day and the underlying principles and ideals that concern the very life, liberty and happiness of the American people. I was greeted everywhere by large and enthusiastic audiences white and colored. Ask some of the people who heard me whether Nannie Burroughs did any "Uncle Tom stuff" or not. If you heard the radio message that I sent from my sick bed at the urgent request of the National Committee, you have an idea of the kind of speeches that I made in the campaign. But let's go back of the campaign, Congressman DePriest called a non-partisan conference in Washington last December. I was one of the speakers. If the Afro-American is referring to my speech at that conference, I beg to advise my beloved friend that I never mentioned Mr. Hoover nor the Republican party in my address. Ask those who were there and heard me. My talk was built around a direct question. "The question was: "What Have You in Your Hand?" My answer was: "You have only two things that the white man wants—your money and your ballot." I urged that audience not to throw these two invaluable assets away; not to give them away, and not to undervalue their intrinsic worth. I reminded them that the ballot is their blood-bought heritage and that their money represents the sweat of their brows. They should spend their money where they can get the goods they need and at the same time with companies that employ members of the race. I urged them to use the ballot to get where they want to go; to defeat their enemies and to elect to office men who believe in giving all Americans an equal opportunity to learn and an equal opportunity to earn. That is the speech in a nutshell. If any one can give any advice more practical and sound than Please pardon what might seem to be unpardonable ego, but I speak in self-defense because the Afro says in referring to those employed by the party, which does not include me, that their words carried no conviction. My words in the campaign carried conviction. If you do not believe it, ask the people who heard me. Furthermore, I can get audiences as large in the same cities today as they gave me in the campaign. I have been talking to audiences too long, the people turn out too willingly to hear me, they have shown too much respect for me for me to go around serving them biologna. I talk sense—common every day sense, and I am sincere. I did not talk for money. I talked for red-blooded men and women who are going to do more than talk in the days that are before them. I am not a political rat running from party to party, nor am I a political racketeer selling my people for a mess of potage. Money gotten that way is not good enough for me to spend. I hope these few lines will find you well. "Going Up" NEW YORK (CNS)—The New York Herald Tribune of November 10 in an editorial query asks: "Where are the five cities with the largest Negro population in the world?" It answers its own question by saying: "No; not in Africa, and not in our own South. Every one of the five—New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, and they rank in that order—lies north of the Potomac in the white United States. That somewhat startling fact stands at the head of a pamphlet, 'Recent Trends in Race Relations,' prepared by the industrious Commission on Interracial Co-operation of Atlanta, Georgia. "Negroes are moving North; North and South they are moving into the cities; in the cities and in the country they are moving up; and the pace is ever faster and faster. Last month a distinguished Negro poet, James Weldon Johnson, spoke on invitation at the University of North Carolina. "Leading whites and blacks sit down together to discuss the problems which bind them together in every Southern State. Even in the fifteen years since the 'Interracial Movement' was born—in the heady aftermath of war, when race riots were common and 'race war' seemed a possible phrase—much has been accomplished. For instance, there were ninety-one public high schools for Negroes in the entire South in 1915; there are more than a thousand today. "Still the road ahead is long and hard. As this report of the Interracial Council recalls, one of the leading Negro women of the South, Dean Juliette Derricotte, died last year because in the north Georgia region where her automobile overturned there was no hospital for Negroes. There was a white hospital, but it did not occur to the white doctors who attended her that they might take a Negro patient into a white hospital. And, without hospital facilities, Miss Derricotte's life was doomed. "So, too, encouraging as are the fluges of increased expenditure on Negro education, they are still far from proportional to the large Negro populations "The important thing is the direction of movement, and that is clear. If we could look back on these hard post-war years with a true historical perspective, the rise in the position of the black tenth of our population would seem well nigh miraculous." Garnet-Patterson Teachers Defended TO THE EDITOR: Permit me if you please to answer unsolicited, but only in the name of justice, the statements by the Northwest Citizens Association, as stereotyped on the front page of your paper, in regard to the conduct of pupils of Garnet-Patterson Junior High School during recess. I live directly opposite the building and have for years resided there. I can not recall a single day in the 21 years that there has not been a teacher on duty at recess; and since the new building has been used, tl. we are as a rule two and often three teachers who are out with the children during the whole of the lunch period. I can not say, whether it is choice or assignment, but I do know that they take turns, so I judge it is by assignment. I have many times seen pupils chided or sent to their rooms when the bounds of propriety were over-stretched. Is this not supervision? So far as girls' hanging around cars and stores, barber shops and pool-rooms, is concerned, I will say that all of the teachers and social workers combined will never stop that. The matter of discipline starts in the home, is supplemented in the school-room and ends in the street. Only innate qualities influence the action abroad of the average child, and that is why I resent the reflection that teachers are responsible after these girls referred to in the article, leave the building. Teachers have enough to do, without being expected to follow junior high school pupils after school hours, or even during recess; for cab men are sometimes brothers or fathers and often pick up a crowd of children, but should not take them from school without notifying the teachers or principal. I hope these reformers will get in touch with some of the vital need, of the neighborhood, but give credit where it is due, for I know I speak the truth when I say these teachers are out in all kinds of weather at recess and very little go.; on that they don't see. I am so proud of the teachers we have at our new junior high school that I resent unfair criticism, for sight beats theory even Annie Gillem Green, D.C. in the face of prejudice. Among certain Eskimo tribes marriage is compulsory and lying is a crime punishable by death. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. NOVEMBER 25. 1932 ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN AT HOWARD UNIV. Howard University News Release. Howard University senior women, called mentors, are helping freshman women residents of the dormitory to make adjustments to college life. In a ceremony the first part of the year, each mentor was formally given one or two freshmen who were to be in her particular charge for the year. It is the duty of the mentors to help the freshmen solve all new problems which face them as they enter the college community. This system of orientation has never been tried at Howard University before. According to the directors of the women's campus it is proving very successful and will be continued. The mentors are: Thelma Preyor, Doris Buckley, Lilyan Crichlow, Aileen Diggs, Lorraine Robbins, Mable Williams, Sara Martineau, Louise Burge, Nieta Hines, Ernestine Lamb, Mae Morgan, Ella Murphy, Hattie Upshaw, Violet Wright, and Vivian Simpers. The Women's House Government Committee, the student governing body of the women's campus, has many plans to make this year a pleasant one for the residents of the dormitory. They have sponsored two affairs this year. The first was a book review by Professor Sterling A. Brown, of the English department at Howard University; the second was an Armistice Day dance given November 11, in the gym for dormitory residents and their guests. Their next project will be a visit to Congress early in December. The committee is planning to sponsor more book reviews, sight-seeing trips, and several matinee dances for the students during the course of the year. There are plans to arrange for the women of the dormitories to attend the inauguration in March as a group. The committee is attempting to initiate a prom for dormitory residents. Each class, under the leadership of the House Government Committee, will have some project for the year. The freshmen will be hostesses at a series of teas; the sophomores will have their annual Mother's Day tea; the juniors will take charge of the Browsing Room; the seniors will invite outstanding persons to speak in the dormitories. Each class is represented on the House Government Committee in accordance to the percentage of the members in the class. Members are elected by popular vote. Hattie Upshaw, senior, is president of the committee. Misses Houston and Tancil, directors of the women's campus, have announced that they plan to begin their series of "At Homes" very soon. Students will remember these affairs from last year, and will be glad to hear that they are soon to be bad again. All students and friends are cordially invited. At each entertainment some speaker is presented. The Women's League, the official body of all women students, has mapped out its program for the year. The first project was the eleventh annual women's dinner, November 4. This affair was a greater success than any of the others have been. The Sunday before the Christmas holidays, the women of the university will hold their annual vesper services. The feature of this event is Mary Burrill's reading of "The Other Wise Man" by Van Dyke. On Palm Sunday the women will give their gift fund at a special chapel service. In the latter part of May, May Week will be celebrated. During the entire week the women will be seen in various forms of activities. The feature of the week will be the crowning of the May Queen. The queen, selected by popular vote, must be a senior with the qualities of beauty, scholarship, and personality. Following the crowning of the May Queen, a dance in her honor will bring an end to the festivities, and will close the program of the Women's League. Atlanta Has Ordinance Aimed at Negro Pedlers Forbidden to Sell Coal and Wood After 6 o'Clock; N.A.A.C.P. To Rescue ATLANTA, Ga.—The Atlanta World reports that a meeting of Negro charcoal, coal and wood pedlers was held in the office of A. T. Waldon, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to procure signatures for a petition asking the city council to reconsider an ordinance prohibiting the pedlers from selling on the streets after 6 o'clock. It is pointed out that many colored families buy their fuel in small quantities, not only because they cannot afford a ton at a time, but because they have no place for storage. And many of these people must wait for their day's earnings before laying in their small supply. The ordinance, therefore, penalizes not only the two or three hundred pedlers but a large part of the Negro population of Atlanta. The World reports that a number of the pedlers have been arrested under the ordinance and given suspended fines. The penalty for violation is $100 or 30 days in the stockade. Prisons and Prisoners By Clifford C. Mitchell Even Prisoners Have Opportunities for Intellectual Improvement and Will Be Advantaged Thereby A prison in a nearby state has recently received considerable publicity because of the many unusual requests it has received from university students desiring to use some of the prison facilities as a "convenience" while pursuing their college courses. In other words they wanted to eat and sleep in the prison and attend the university during the day time. The combination of "hard times" and eagerness to acquire scholastic learning caused these students to seek shelter within a prison. Of course, the requests were denied. What a lesson there is to be gained out of the above circumstances! Especially so to the prisoners in this particular prison where every encouragement and facility is offered whereby each prisoner might devote a portion of his time to some worth while study, either in the regular school system or in special courses and classes. No doubt, at some time or other, we have all heard remarks made by some would-be "wise guys" to the effect—"I didn't come to prison to learn anything. I came to do time." But that mental type of a person wouldn't accomplish much even at a university with all expenses paid and every comfort provided for. An Opportunity Fortunately, however, the sentiment as above expressed is obliterating itself by direct contrast with the many who can see in their present circumstances an opportunity to acquire an unlimited education at no expense other than a personal urge and effort in mastering their studies. Those who are fortunate in having a little money or who are earning a regular monthly pittance and have the desire to study special correspondence courses, may do so at no expense whatever other than the nominal cost of the course. If there are any prisoners who do not appreciate the opportunity that is theirs to benefit themselves then they should think of those young men in the free world who were so bent on acquiring an education that they were willing to install themselves in a prison just so they could attend their classes. And likely as not if they knew of the many opportunities that the prisoners right here in our own prison have for acquiring scholastic training the students might even have been willing to become a prisoner in reality rather than to be denied the privilege of finishing their courses. Take Advantage of Prison Leisure We would not suggest that anyone attempt to enter prison merely for "convenience" but we would suggest to those already in prison and to those who are forced to come to prison that they utilize every available moment in the futherance of some study and on a subject that will increase their knowledge and usefulness. Apart from the practical benefit of acquiring such learning it will help any prisoner to do his "time." The mere act of concentrating on some subject will lessen the worries, troubles, disappointments and grievances that might otherwise become an obsession to the prisoner. A sincere hankering after beneficial knowledge will keep the mind of the prisoner off of subjects, schemes and plots that cause not only a deterioration of the mental faculties but many physical discomforts and personal inconveniences. The wise man, in prison, is not the one who knows so much that he doesn't care to utilize his time to learn more, but the one who takes advantage of his spare time by seeking and acquiring additional knowledge.

Stanton must win this game to keep pace with Armstrong. The hottest contest, according to advanced dope, will be the Dunbar-Cardozo entanglement. The game closes the conference football schedule. The game is a postponed affair. The two teams were prevented by the heavy rains from playing on the regular scheduled date. Dunbar was beaten by Stanton, 6 to 0, and Cardozo lost to Stanton, 6 to 0. Armstrong defeated Dunbar, 13 to 6, and Cardozo lost to Armstrong, 12 to 6. Mr. Dopster, from these comparative scores pick the winner. Your guess is as good as mine. Redmen Remain Holders of First Place in District Football Loop By JOHN McGRUDER The Pleasant Plains Redmen scalped the Georgetown Settlers, 11 to 0, Sunday, in a pre-Thanksgiving game. When the battle was over the Plainsmen still occupied their fort atop the District grid loop. The Plains gained at will through the Georgetown line or around the ends. In the second period a sixty-yard drive ended with Big Red Fields plowing off tackle for a touchdown from the 11-yard line. A lateral pass, Johnson to Armstrong, was good for the extra point. In the same period Georgetown held the Plains for downs in mid-field. Gray punted out of bounds on the Georgetown 11-yard stripe. Georgetown was held for downs, and its attempt to punt out of danger resulted in a blocked kick which rolled behind the goal line. In the ensuing scramble Sidney Morris, alert Plains tackle, recovered the ball for a safety, adding two points to the score. In the third quarter Red Pine Armstrong, Jim Gray, and Big Red Fields alternated in picking up regular yardage, marching to the goal. On the third attempt Jim Gray dived over guard to cross the line, but lost the ball. Georgetown recovered and was downed for a safety, adding two other points to the Plains total of 9. The Georgetown line was no match for the onslaught of the red forward wa" opposing it. Big Jelly Lewis and Bumps Thomas, Plains guards, were there on the offence. Captain Williams gave the usual account of himself in center. The Plainsmen are booked to meet the Northeast A.C. Sunday, in a re-scheduled game, at No. 8, in their next defense of their Disits luck with the Plains will try their luck with the Plains on the following Sunday, according to the League Schedule. It may be that this final game will be played in one of the stadiums here. We'll see. TUSKEGEE TO MEET PRAIRIE VIEW COLLEGE JANUARY 2 TUSKEGEE, Ala.-The Tukegee Institute' football team will meet Prairie View College at Houston, Texas on January 2. CAPITAL CITY SPORT SCRIPTS By ARTHUR CARTER The coveted District high school gridiron crown today rests high upon the Orange and Blue brow of Armstrong High School. The Manual Trainers, deprived of the title since 1929, when the sensational Wilbur (Windy) Wallace, now cavorting for Iowa University, led the Techmen to a 6-0 verdict, rose in their might to crush the Dunbarmen in their annual game Monday. The Westmorelanders completely outplayed the Poets to win by a 13-6 score. Though the score is indicative of an exceptionally close battle, Armstrong was easily superior t. the Poets. The only department of play in which the Red and Black warriors had the edge was forward passing. Completely disregarding the old and well known adage, "Opportunity knocks but once," the Poets tossed a golden opportunity to the winds in the opening quarter after a stalwart lineman had jumped in and blocked an Armstrong punt on the eventual winners' own 22-yard line. The Dunbar backs in a sustained drive drove to the one-yard line but lacked the punch to push the oval across, Tech gaining possession of the sphere and kicking out of danger. From this point to the end of the battle, Armstrong held the upper hand. The much heralded running combination of Berry Williams, a 11-second dashman, and his mate, Ben Turpin, a youth with a galloping high knee action, that time and again electrified the assembled crowd of 2,000, swung into action. This duo with the able assistance of Geesis Mitchell and Harrison plunged through the Dunbar forward wall for a total of 149 yards, and ten first downs. The Orange and Blue line yielded only 66 yards to the thrusts of the Red and Black backs for four first downs. Finding the going too rough on the ground, Dunbar resorted to an aerial attack, just as this column predicted. With its great passer, Juggy Matthews, tossing the oval all about the field, occasionally nowhere in particular, the Poets clouded Tech's vision with 16 aerials, a half dozen of which were good for 132 yards. Tech's longe completed pass in six tries was good for 30 yards, and incidentally, put it in scoring position just before the third period ended. A beautiful 55-yard heave, Matthews to Harold Williams, a Dunbar substitute, opened another scoring threat for the Poets which was quickly halted as Turpin intercepted the next attempt by Matthews. Besides being superior offensively, Armstrong was materially aided by the wind, and held the Poets in check by punting deep into the Red and Black territory, no less than eight boots going for touch-backs. Fight for Cellar Position With the championship decided, Dunbar and Cardozo will fight it out for the cellar position, at the stadium on Monday, the 28th, the latter having lost to Armstrong previously. The Clerks were in the stands getting an eyeful as the Poets bowed and should be well able to present a formidable defense. Their offensive power without a doubt is one of the best among the schools. DUNBAR DOTS By MORRIS MURRAY, JR. Over 6,000 witnessed the second game of the city football series played in Walker Stadium, Monday between Dunbar and Armstrong. Dunbar was defeated by a score of 13 to 6. The Techmen outplayed the Poets in most parts of the game. This win makes Armstrong the city champions. Dunbar's only score was made in the first quarter when Hooks Green intercepted a pass and ran for a touchdown. Williams and Mitchell were outstanding for Armstrong, while Matthews, L. Jackson, Thompson, and last but not least, little Jase, were outstanding for the Poets. Armstrong showed its loyalty towards both teams, Monday. Matthews was taken from the field and the Armstrong rooters immediately began to cheer for him. Scottie Davidson has the real school spirit. He thought his team was going to lose so he stayed away from the game. Among the Dunbar players hurt in the game were Thompson, Matthews, L. Jackson, and Thomas. Dunbar actually has a campaign going on at present—a campaign between two captains, each trying to get more demerits than the other. The young "What-a-Man." Arthur Gamble, is going out for the basketball team. We need at least one Art Shires. THIRTEEN WORLD BLUEFIELD PASSES BEAT AGGIES,12-0 A. and T. Unable to Solve Air Attack by Blue Ramblers GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Blue Ramblers of Bluefield College, Bluefield, W.Va., defeated the A. and T. gridders here Friday, in a thrilling 12 to 0 game. From the beginning to the end it was literally packed with thrills. The Aggie line completely stopped the Bluefield far-famed running plays. Time and time again they threw the Bluefield backs for a loss. Finding the Aggie line impregnable the Ramblers took to the air. In the third quarter Bluefield completed a pass which put it in position to score. Banks took it over on an off-tackle smash. Bluefield's running attack failed entirely, the Aggie forward wall refused to be budged. The entire Aggie line played starring football, but the Ramblers completed 8 passes out of 13 tries. And as the game ended they were in position to score again, having intercepted an Aggie pass. Line-up: A. & T. BLUEFIELD Canada L.E. Richardson Washington L.E. Meadows Humphrey L.G.

Receiving a tip from an ex-re- porter who has been the source of many of his gossipy items, Wayne establishes the fact that the girl has been abducted by a gang, and finally delivers to the gangsters the sum of $100,000, paid as. ran- som by the distracted father. But the girl is not produced, and Wayne learns from the head of all the gangsters, that she will not be returned until the authorities dis- miss certain indictments against the arch-criminal. oe eg “AFRAID 10 TALK” A dramatic screen answer to many pertinent questions Ameri- can citizens are asking about rule by political parties is contained in Universal’s timely picture, “Afraid to Talk,” which will open a long anticipated engagement at the Lin- coln Theatre on Sunday, for a run of five days. Screened from the powerful drama ‘by Albert Maltz and George Sklar, “Merry-Go-Round,” it pre. sents a group of municipal office holders under the dictates of a par- ty boss, who find themselves forced by a clamoring press and public to gain a conviction for an under- world murder. Happening on the eve of an im- portant election, the party leaders decide it necessary to act, but are suddenly thwarted when the gang- ster murderer produces evidence which will bare the graft and brib- ery of the office holders. In desperation the party at- tempts to “railroad” an innocent bell boy for the crime, and when public-minded citizens instigate an investigation, complications devel- op so rapidly that the film proceeds toward its powerful climax . with one intensely dramatic crisis after another. “MAN AGAINST WOMAN” AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE Jack Holt is at last’ given a chance that audiences have been wishing for for years—a chance to win the girl who is “his heroine instead of being Big-hearted Joe and sacrificing her to ‘the “other” man. ‘And along with this long-awaited opportunity which occurs. in_ his latest Columbia picture, “Man Against Woman,” showing for three days at the Lincoln Theatre, Holt, as might be expected from a man so long prevented by. scen- ario writers from making the ro- mantic grade, shows ‘the world a thing or two about the process of winning a lady in the not quite approved but still 1932 fashion, In picture after picture with Ralph Graves, his famous screen mate, Holt has been the stern, up- right and altruistic one of the pair, who bears the brunt of the distress that the two meet.and before the last fade-out by one means or an- other gives. the girl up to Graves. Such a dramatic triangle made an excellent situation for unusu- ally fine pictures, that carried on a tradition like Sergeant Quirt and Captain Flagg in “What Price Glory” and warmed the hearts of audiences whenever the names of Holt and Graves were announced. But still it left something to be desired for Holt, Audiences some- times felt that he should be given perhaps a better break. This wish arose not so much from sympathy for a man who was somewhat of a lunkhead and not too good-looking, but more out of the fact that Holt is fully as handsome and attractive to women as _many a chiseled-faced Apollo. In fact, Holt has all the more sex-appeal because he is handsome without being beautiful, romantic without being slushy, and strong without being inconsiderate, From seed imported from the island of Tasmania, Coy Orsett, of Belmont, Mass.,. grows beans 3 to 5 feet long and weighing 10 to 15 pounds each, ‘The beans, when sliced and cooked, are said to have a flavor resembling that of. veal steak. = “SHUFFLE ALONG” } INBROOKLYN, N.Y.

At the end of each verse he gave a peculiar step, "rockin' de heel," and these were the words of his refrain: "Wheel about, turn about, do jis so; ebery time I wheel about I jump Jim Crow." It is related that, "the orchestra pit and the four circling balconies rocked and cheered, forgot the tragedy that had opened the program, forgot that another play was to come, forgot even to munch peanuts and throw the shells about in the accepted manner of those times. A song sung in the intermission by a tall, thin blackface comedian had set the patrons wild with delight. Six times they brought back the singer to repeat his song before they would let him go." The song was "Jump Jim Crow," the singer, Thomas Dartmouth Rice. Before that time the humble name of Jim Crow had had no special significance. That evening it took root in the English language, where it is now as firmly fixed as Uncle Sam or John Bull. Rice was a New Yorker, born in 1808 in the old Seventh Ward, where the Manhattan Bridge now casts its shadow. Apprenticed in youth to a carver, he drifted to the stage.

In a world gone mad with pitiless power! A Scarlet City Unmasked ERIC LINDEN SYDNEY FOX IN “Afraid To Talk” editorial claims that: "The origin of Jim Crow can be traced directly to Louisville. Tom Rice was playing at one time at the old Louisville Theatre, which stood at Fourth and Green (now Liberty), and behind the theatre there was a livery stable where an amusing old Negro worked. His name was Jim Crow, and Rice and the other actors had taken to watching him as he went about his work in the stable yard. Laurence Hutton, in his 'Curiosities of the American Stage', quotes a description of Jim Crow written by one who had seen him: "He was very much deformed, the right shoulder was drawn up high, and the left leg was stiff and crooked at the knee, which gave him a painful, but at the same time ludicrous limp. He was in the habit of crooning a queer old tune, to which he had applied words of his own. At the end of each verse he gave a peculiar step, "rockin' de heel"...and these were the words of his refrain: "Wheel about, turn about, do jis so, an' ebvy time I wheel about I jump Jim Crow." "Rice watched the unconscious comedy of this performance, and determined to imitate it. One night he persuaded Crow to come and sit in the wings and to lend him his clothes. When Rice appeared on the stage in rags and totters, crooning the Negro's tune and doing his jerky little step, the audience was delighted. The actor, however had made his performance sure-fire by inventing numerous verses to the Jim Crow melody which dealt with local celebrities and affairs of the day in Louisville, and these little jingles brought down the house. "The next morning the song of Jim Crow swept over Louisville, and the whole town flocked to the theatre to see Tom Rice do his wonderful act. Soon other cities had a chance to laugh at the antics of the comic Negro, and Rice's fame spread like wildfire. New York greeted him with wild enthusiasm, and thus it was that blackface comedy and Negro minstrels got their start." Charles W. Eldridge, 101 years old, of St. Petersburg, Florida, claims to have voted in 20 presidential elections. BROADWAY A LIGHTMAN THEATRE TUESDAY NOV. 28 The greatest football story ever filmed.

SOMETHING NEW IN MYSTERY PICTURES Taking your nerve around the corner and playing pit-a-pat with your heart beats, "By Whose Hand?", a Columbia mystery picture, which opens for a run of four days, at the Republic Theatre. 'It is difficult to conceive of more dramatic action than is packed into this unusual film, which is unfolded on a train bound for 'Prisco. Many strange and interesting things transpire. The audience is kept on edge every minute as the logical but utterly haffling plot unfolds—and then gets a final thrill in the surprise ending. Ben Lyon, as Jimmy Hawley, a reporter, doesn't prefess to be a detective, but his newspaper training has taught him enough "inside" stuff to enable him to trap a "killer," who has escaped from the penitentiary—and further unravel a string of mysterious happenings. As the picture opens, cops are following a tip that Delmar, an escaped convict, will try to make 'Frisco on the Grand Express. The sequence of happenings on the train, including the murder of a wealthy jeweler and several others, leads to a climax that is totally unexpected. Interesting performances are given by Nat Pendleton, as "Killer" Delmar, Kenneth Thomson, Dwight Frye, and William Halligan. A delightful romance is charmingly enacted by Barbara Weeks and Ben Lyon. If you like your mystery films really mysterious, here's one made to order. ```markdown ``` "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Revived in Troy N.Y. Where It Opened TROY, N. Y.—(CNS)—"Uncle Tom's Cabin," the dramatization of Harriet Beecher Stowe's celebrated novel, which originally opened here eighty years ago, will be presented here in a three-day revival Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 24, 25 and 26. The Playberg Theatre of New York will stage the performance. It is recalled that for more than seventy-five years some dramatization of this play has been on the boards somewhere in the world and that it was not until last year that Little Eva, Legrine, Uncle Tom and the blood hounds were absolutely missing from the dramatic stage. S. C. State Outclasses Knoxville College, 21-0 KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—On a field of mud clay blocked punts paved the way for a South Carolina State victory over Knoxville College Saturday, 21 to 0. The heavier eleven from the Iodine state ploughed through the light Knoxville line and blocked two of Hubbard's kicks. In the first quarter Knoxville was kicking from the 20 yard line when S. C. blocked with such force that the ball rolled back into Knoxville's end zone where it was covered for a safety. Before the half ended the State eleven recovered a fumble, made the only two first downs of the half and Taylor carried the ball the last eight yards for a touchdown. Taylor went off tackle for the extra point. The Little Theatres SELECTING AND CASTING A PLAY While it may seem unnecessary to say that the director should have a full understanding of stage mechanics as well as of acting, I am sure that you will agree that many good plays have been turned into burlesque because of fatal miscasting and general misguidance of the director. Fortunately, we are beginning to fall in line with the great, progressive dramatic movements and are feeling the necessity of trained directors. There was a time when anyone with a general appreciation and fair amount of dramatic ability was welcomed as a coach, but now, in all well organized groups the director is for the most part, trained in the art of the theatre. Although it is true that a read-committee should be at work at all times to find plays for production, the final choice of the play is frequently left to the director; therefore, he must have a good supply of material from which to choose and a thorough knowledge of the merits of every play in order that each may be given an intelligent appreciation. The play selected for consideration should have a wile appeal, theatric effectiveness and literary and dramatic value within the limits of the group. It is oftimes very difficult to select a play which will be of interest to the entire audience, but this problem is easily solved by varying the types of plays. In this way everyone will be pleased. Before casting the play, all applicants should be called together for a preliminary talk, the story and plot of the play should be told and parts read, often it is wise to have a full reading of the play. At this meeting all rules concerning the selection of the cast should be gone over carefully. The director should emphasize the necessity of the whole hearted cooperation of all. The casting of the parts is one of the most critical periods in the production. Temperament, appearance and voice must be given careful consideration. For instance, let us consider the matter of height. Often it is true that the woman in real life is taller than the man, this must be avoided on the stage, unless the text demands that the woman be taller. We must always consider stage effects. In selecting the cast it is always wise for the director to be firm, but very tackful. The director having a definite conception of the types represented in the play chooses the best from the material at hand. There are various ways of testing dramatic responses, and the director must manage this in the most skilful way possible. After the trial cast has been found, the real work of rehearsing may begin. After the books or parts have been given out, all are ready for the preliminaries of stage work. The cast is ready and anxiously awaits the general directions which will lead to the great adventure of acting. A 6½-pound carrot was grown at Van Nuys, California, by W. T. Wasson.

THRILLING TALE OF CHAIN GANG FUGITIVE "I am A fugitive from a Chain Gang," a Warner Bros. picture starring Paul Muni, now playing a the Raphael Theatre, is a strikingly picturesque and realistic picturization of a wellbred man's experiences as a convict on a chain gang, with all the attendant thrills of two escapes in which the prisoner is pursued by armed posses and bloodhounds. Not only is it said to carry more thrilling and sensational episodes than most screen dramas, but it presents a triple romance of strange and glamorous loves. The picture is based on the novel by Robert E. Burns which caused so much comment recently, because of the incredible revelations of chain gang prison life. Driven to desperation by the tortures of the whipping post and other cruelties, the fugitive, portrayed by Muni, makes his escape and crosses to another state after almost unbelievable hardships. He made good under a new name only to be betrayed by a woman. He is returned to the chain gang only to escape again in one of the most exciting man hunts the screen has recorded in years. There is no move touching figure imaginable, than this fugitive, yearning for love and home, skulking from place to place, not daring to show his face, a man without a country. Paul Muni, the famous "Scarface" of the screen, and noted for his fine interpretation of character on the stage, is said to give his best performance as this fugitive. Glenda Farrell, who made such a hit in "Life Begins," plays the role of the woman who betrays Burns, while Helen Vinson, is his real love. Preston Foster, Edward J. McNamara, Sheila Terry, Allen Jenkins and David Landau head a supporting cast which is one of the largest ever seen on the screen. There are 37 speaking roles, 53 "bit" parts and more than 2,000 extras. The screen play was adapted by Sheridan Gibney and Brown Holmes and directed by Mervyn LeRoy. THREE KEYS THRILL CROWD AT HOWARD With the Three Keys, radio's sensation of the year, holding forth as the headline attraction, Howard Theatre patrons are presented with a musical revue that borders close to exceptional. Grouped around the mike which heinhimits their presentations to the audience, the trio of National Broadcasting artists with Bob at the piano and Slim picking the guitar prove their popularity. From the time they played their theme song, "Jonky" until they signed off with the same number the audience was continually applauding. All are able singers. Jimmie Lunceford and his Canadian Music Masters hailing from Buffalo take care of the jazz part of the show in fine style. The Music Masters were featured in a novel number, "Say It Isn't So." The comedy is supplied by two gentlemen, Walter Glenn and Willie Jenkins, who really know what it is all about when it comes to drawing laughs from an audience. The boys are comedy kings and keep your side cracking with laughter. A dance specialty is rendered by Atta Blake, soft shoe tap dancer, while Naomi Price sang several numbers to fill the bill. Rustina Banks and her mermaids are also with the revue. On the screen, "Little Orphan Anna," the comic strip character, is featured in a Radio picture illustrating the trials and joys of an orphan. Little Mitzi Green portrays Annie's part and makes the picture very lively. Morgan College Choral Club Makes Debut The Morgan College Choral Club, which is under the direction of Miss Banks, Professor of Music, made its initial appearance in the college chapel on November 9th. The club was also featured on the program of the Maryland State Teachers' Association convening at the Douglass High School, in Baltimore, on November 11th. The overwhelming applause which greeted the renditions of the club on both occasions gave evidence of the fine quality of their singing. The club is planning to fulfil several engagements throughout the Country this season, and is working to make this year's program one of the best. Morris Scores Four Touchdowns to Aid Morris Brown Squad By Milton L. Randolph TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Under crying Floridian skies, a still undefeated Morris Brown football team, completely vanquished the Florida Aggies, 32-0 here Friday. The Galloping Ghost, Red Moore, secret ace of the Wolverine offense, will long be remembered by the thousands of rain drenched enthusiastic fans, who saw his weird form trek through the Florida team, with yard after yard of brilliant running, to tally four of his team's touchdowns. CLASSIFIED Georgia State and Waters in a Scoreless Deadlock INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE, Ga.—Before a large group of alumni and friends the Tigers of Georgia State met the Tigers of Edward Waters in their Home Coming tussle Saturday. They roared, pitched and gnawed and scratched at each other to play to a third consecutive draw. From the moment of the kick-off it was clear that two good elevens had met and the game would be a hard fought struggle. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY PAGEANT GIVEN SATURDAY NIGHT Written by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and Acted by Students and Teachers "Phyllis Wheatley," a Bi-centennial pageant written by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, was presented Saturday night at the Armstrong High School Auditorium under the auspices of the colored committee of the general Bi-centennial Commission of the District of Columbia. The characters and dancers were from the various schools of the city. Two persons were used for Phyllis—as she appeared in Africa at about seven years of age, and after living in Boston for two years. Catherine Darden represented Phyllis in the first, second and third acts. From the age of 17 on, through the pageant, Miss Erma Barbour characteristically represented Phyllis. Miss Isadore Williams played the part of Mrs. Wheatley, and Roscoe Evans was Mr. Wheatley. Dorothy Davis played the part of Mary, daughter of Mrs. Wheatley, and Alfred Nixon, the part of her son. Helen Griffin was the companion to Mrs. Wheatley. Robert Harlan acted the part of Gen. George Washington at the time of the visit of Phyllis to his headquarters, after she had composed a poem concerning him. The pageant opened in Africa with slave traders catching, stealing and kidnapping men, women and children. The second act represented the slave mart in Boston with little Phyllis cold, half-clad and shivering. Mrs. Wheatley, a wealthy Bostonian, appears in the mart and was attracted to this little girl and purchased her. She soon learned to speak English and early developed poetical talent, which she said came to her unbidded—she just had to write. Her poems soon attracted the at- Please get your classified ads into the office by Thursday, 10 a.m. Ads will not be taken by telephone.

Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, was the principal speaker at the meeting of the parent-teacher association of the Sumner-Magruder School. He interpreted the present depression as it affected the lives of the school-age child. He pointed out that the cost of education has increased a hundred per cent and yet he felt that the present stand- ard of education should be maintained. He urged the teachers to give more attention to the moral and spiritual needs of the child at this time because conditions brought on by the depression gave an invaluable opportunity for such training. He hoped that each school unit should so organize that it should care for the needy within its own group. Miss Mineola Kirkland, supervising principal of the Tenth division thanked the parents for their co-operation in the past. She emphasized the need of educating the coming generation in the wholesome use of leisure time. She urged parents to accompany children to places of interest in the city. Dr. Adams, the pathologist of Freedmen's Hospital spoke on the value of immunization against diphtheria. He urged the parents to have their children protected by the Shick test.

Smith, outlined the work for the year. William I. Lee, president of the association, gave the aims of the association for the year. Music was furnished by the glee club under the direction of Mrs. G. D. Ingram. The following officers were elected: William I. Lee, president; Mrs. Lillian Blakey, vice-president; Miss Edith Fleetwood, secretary; and Frank S. Reid, jr., treasurer. Presidential Candidate William D. Upshaw Speaks on the "Student Who Wins" at Knoxville College KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Ex-congressman William D. Upshaw, candidate for the Presidency on the Prohibition ticket in the recent campaign, was the guest speaker recently at the Knoxville College chapel exercises. Mr. Upshaw proved his versatility by forgetting politics for the moment and bringing to the Knoxville student body a timely message. His theme, "The Student Who Wins," was enlivened by a wealth of wholesome humor. He emphasized purpose, the love of the genuine, and rugged determination plus clean living and thinking as some of the requisites for a winning life. Mr. Upshaw is a living example of how one may overcome physical disability. He told the students that each of them possessed a better opportunity to make good than he had possessed as a youth. He was a backwoods Georgian with ambition. He then related the story of his falling from a wagon loaded with logs which resulted in a permanent injury to his spinal column. Seven years he lay on his back in this condition. He then told of raising money by lecturing and writing while in a wheel chair. This money enabled him to enter Mercer University, after he was in his early thirties. He next served as a Democratic congressman from Georgia. He then implored men and women of sound body to take advan- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, NOVEMBER 25. 1932 tage of all life's offerings. "Let nothing discourage you; never give up." After this timely speech each student felt that he had a personal friend in ex-Congressman Upshaw who invited everyone to stop him anywhere, anytime for a chat.

E. L. Roseman, president of the Illinois Central Negro Booster Service Club of this city, recently received two letters from high officials of the road in Chicago commending him for an article he had prepared and had printed, encouraging his fellow workers in their work of boosting and pointing out that they way to hold their jobs was to help to build up their company's business. It was also pointed out to the local club members that their work had been of such a nature as to attract attention of the road's management, special attention was called to the amount of publicity the club was receiving through the columns of the Illinois Central magazine.

Ralph Matthews The play, from the pen of Ralph Duncan Matthews has great possibilities and with some polishing here and there it no doubt will be the means of a new awakening for the legitimate stage. There was some sort of a plot that was supposed to run throughout the play, but for some reason the plot was lost after the first act and one failed to connect the two succeeding acts with the first. The singing was good in spots and a fast snappy chorus enlivened what otherwise would have been a rather dull production. One would naturally prefer to see one's angels surrounded by things sacred, than to see angels doing the black-bottom to the accompaniment of jazz music. Well, it just isn't being done in the most blase of plays. Needs Overhauling What "Adam and Eva, Inc." needs is an overhauling by a producer who can take a good cast and whip it into a good play. For one thing, there were no overrated stars as one is accustomed to see in most plays now-a-days. Mathews refused to follow the beat path and build up a play aroun some particular actor or actors. All in all, Matthews did a commendable job in view of the handicaps he encountered before his play was permitted to be shown. The most serious difficulty arose when his orchestra was barred on account of objections by the local musicians' organization when they learned that the show, which has union musicians, was to play at the Lincoln. Orchestra Barred This theatre has been on the blacklist of the union for some time and union musicians are not permitted to play at the house. Matthews had to scrap up an orchestra on Monday, four days before his play was due to come to Washington. One must say he did a good job. An earlier serious piece of ill luck hit the producer when his leading man. Wilson Brown, held out on him a few weeks ago, twenty-four hours before his play opened in Baltimore. Matthews had to produce a new "Adam" in that brief time. In Shieldon Hoskins, he found a duplicate that no doubt excelled the original. Well-Balanced Cast None of the actors in the play have had their names before the public before. All are amateurs and, as such, they presented a well-balanced cast. Miss Monterey Kenney, a Coppin Normal School student, as Eve displayed talent that would no doubt be an asset to many a seasoned professional. She has a sweet voice, a delightful personality, and a face and form that is exceedingly easy to look at. Samuel, the sage of all angels, and "Michael," guardian of the pearly gates, played by Harry J. Hunt and Moore Carson, respectively, portrayed their parts well. The Rameses Rhythm Boys, in several specialty numbers, were well received. This group is composed of Harry C. Robinson, Kermit Payne, William Hawkins, and George Douglass. Differs from Bible Version The first act shows a scene in the Garden of Eden. Adam seems to be a rather happy-go-lucky fellow until Eva appears on the apple which results in her being cast out of the garden with "Adam." The Bible version states that she prevailed on Adam to also eat some of the fruit, but in "Adam and Eva, Irc." she does not follow this version, but instead she falls in love with "Michael," who seeks to win her from "Adam." Finally it develops that Michael is a devil in angel's clothing. The act ends when the couple is driven from the garden. Development of Character Must Come from Teachers The Rev, F. I. A. Bennett, or Board of Education, Talks at Miner College The Rev, F. I. A. Bennett, mem ber of the board of education, ad dressed the students of Miner Teachers' College at the Wednes day assembly on the subject o Court of Pharaoh The second act shows a scene at the court of Pharaoh, in which Adam is cast as a young captain while Eve is a handmaiden of Princess Hinda. The latter role is played by Helen Rich, a really beautiful girl. The princess makes love to the handsome young captain and after winning his love she casts him aside for a rich young prince of a neighboring province. Adam finally returns to Eva who remains true despite his infidelity and all ends well. The epilogue shows the home of a Mr. Green, where the cast is dressed in the latest thing in evening clothes. This scene shows the wedding of "Adam and Eve" to the accompaniment of music and some good singing. By making the plot clearer and ironing out several weak spots no doubt "Adam and Eva, Inc." will result in a really good play.—G. L. M. Freed on Robbery Charge Preferred by Va. Deputy Floyd Osborne, 29, 48 F Street, was dismissed on a robbery and assault charge in District Suprema Court, Monday of last week. The charges were preferred by James J. Williams, a special deputy sheriff, of Leesburg, Va., who claimed he was robbed of his gun, his credentials and $3 in cash when he was a roomer at the Osborne home last October. Osborne was reprenented by Attorney Thomas Beckett. The case was heard by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat. Development of Character Must Come from Teachers The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, of Board of Education, Talks at Miner College The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, member of the board of education, addressed the students of Miner Teachers' College at the Wednesday assembly on the subject of character as a qualification for teaching. He stated that the teachers of the new generation will have as a primary duty the development of good citizenship, a problem that was formerly left to the home. Mr. Bennett believes that there is a widespread tendency to overstress the intellectual development of teachers. Personality and common sense should receive more attention. Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools, introduced the speaker to the undergraduates. At the conclusion of the speech Mrs. G. H. Woodard, faculty representative in charge of student life, announced that the prize offered by the Social Service Club for a play to be given at Christmas had been won by Hilda Lawson, a junior. A group from the glee club sang Mendelssohn's "On Wings of Song." Oliver Simms, a freshman, played Chopin's "Impromptu" in G-sharp minor. Band of Gypsies Rob Storekeeper of $20 LA PLATA, Md.-George Jones, who conducts a store on the State highway north of La Plata, was robbed of $20, recently, by a band of gypsies. Jones told police the money was taken from his shirt pocket while the gypsies were engaged in conversation with him. The band was travelling in a car bearing Florida tags and were apprehended at Colonial Beach, Va., where they are being held for investigation.

PARENTS FACE (Continued from page 1) is denied by Keech and Roberts who, however, argue that even if they had, the 3-cent law is a valid exercise of police power in that it operates for the general welfare being in the nature of a tax to help support public education. The brief concludes with a sympathetic plea to Justice Gordon to recognize the present widespread poverty.

One of the chief reasons cited by the companies for asking that the order be dismissed is that the said order was entered without a hearing by the commission. It is the belief of the commission, though, that no hearing was necessary because the congressional action was directorial and conclusive. Parents Face Big Expense Should the Supreme Court sustain the appeals of the three companies in the case, the parents of Washington school children will be required to pay an additional $163,665 within the next year for transportation alone. These figures compiled in Keech's office from evidence introduced at the hearing indicate that, while the saving to school children is considerable, the cost to the transportation companies is relatively small. During the year ended September 30, last, the Capital Traction Company sold 1,153,648 3-cent fares, the Washington Railway & Electric Company, 2,372,346, and the Washington Rapid Transit Co., 71,364. The respective differences in the school fare and the adult token fare or 10-cent charge on the buses are: Capital Traction Co., $51,914; Washington Railway & Electric Co., $106,755; and the Washington Rapid Transit Co., $4,996. Yet the reduced fare has cut the profits of the three carriers, irrespective of other gains or losses, far less than 1 per cent. In fact, the cost to the Capital Traction Co., was one-fourth of 1 per cent and to the Washington Railway & Electric Co., and the bus company about one-half of 1 per cent. hearing showed that many children are required to ride four time day, as they go home for it. Thus for them the additional would be doubled. To a family three or four children, the save under the 3-cent fare may be amount to $3 or more a week. Mr. Wright Quoted Mr. Wright, the "Father of Reduced Rate" clearly stated ground and necessity for the 3 fare when he wrote Senator thur Capper about the bill in He said among other things, District of Columbia compu education law requiring regular tendance of children in school The return to the full rate of fare for school children would cost individual children, or their parents, considerably more in proportion. A child now riding on the 3-cent rate only twice daily to and from school, spends 30 cents a week, whereas the token fare would increase his cost to 75 cents or the bus fare $1. Evidence introduced at the court hearing showed that many children are required to ride four times a day, as they go home for lunch. Thus for them the additional cost would be doubled. To a family of three or four children, the savings under the 3-cent fare may easily amount to $3 or more a week. Mr. Wright Quoted Mr. Wright, the "Father of the Reduced Rate" clearly stated the ground and necessity for the 3-cent fare when he wrote Senator Arthur Capper about the bill in 1930. He said among other things, "The District of Columbia compulsory education law requiring regular attendance of children in school, the child labor law restraining gainful occupation of children under 18 years of age which reduces the supplemental income of many families, and the prevailing unemployment situation everywhere agravates normal demands on the small family budget. Therefore, to exact increased car fare from the school children imposes a burden on the already hard-pressed family incomes." BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL MISSING HEART COMPLICATES LAW SUIT Insurance Doctor Removed It; Issue Now in Compensation Case CHARLOTTE, N.C. (CNS) Willie Singleton, a Negro laundry worker, died here July 23, and his remains, minus his heart, were interred after a diligent search for the missing organ, which had been removed at the behest of the laundry company by an insurance physician. On the lost heart will hinge the opinion of the industrial commission in an action for workmen's compensation in the death of Singleton. Absence of Singleton's heart was first noticed when a colored physician who, after the insurance company's autopsy, received the widow's permission to make a post-mortem examination, took over the body to do a bit of operating on his own hook. The heart wasn't there to be taken out nor was it anywhere in sight. However, the doctor did remove the top of Singleton's head and take out his brains. At the October hearing, the doctor for the company which carried the industrial insurance for the laundry company said that it was the custom in such an autopsy, to remove the dead person's heart for examination and then leave it beside the body for the undertaker to place it back in place and make the necessary repairs. He said he had no idea what became of the heart, that when last he saw it the organ was lying beside Singleton's body. While at work in the laundry in July Singleton was seen to throw up his hands and fall to the floor beside an extractor, which is a sort of wringing machine that Singleton operated. In a few minutes he was lifeless. His-widow asked compensation on the ground that Singleton was dodging the falling lid of the extractor and fell, striking his head on the floor and causing fatal concussion of the brain. The insurance company contended that Singleton's death was caused by heart trouble unassociated in any way with his employment. Compensation for the death was denied, by one of the commissioners, in an opinion handed down October 8, stating "Competent medical testimony is to the effect that the deceased died as the result of heart trouble." The plaintiffs appealed the case and it was heard this week by the full commission. Evidence at the hearing developed that permission for the autopsy was granted by a man who was attending the Mecklenburg's coroner's office while the coroner was away. An effort to locate Singleton's widow and then secure her permission was fruitless. According to North Carolina law an autopsy may be performed only on authorization of the coroner, a majority of a coroner's jury, husband or wife of the deceased, parents of deceased, or, where there are no parents or matrimonial partners, the next nearest kin. Should the commissioners hold that the first autopsy was made without the authorization required by law, it may rule that the defendant's evidence is not admissible and therefore issue an award in favor of Singleton's widow. The commission doesn't think those responsible for the autopsy willfully violated the law, it was indicated. An opinion by the full commission is expected in a few days. Howard Students Collect Stamps, Pictures and Coins Howard University News Release. Students collect almost anything at Howard University—stamps, insects, coins, pictures. Stamp collectors are the most numerous. They claim that collecting stamps increases one's knowledge of geography, history, art, and even finance. A stamp collector can tell the state of a country's treasury and policies by the number and type of its issues commemorating historical and political events. Katherine Middleton has a general collection including stamps from all over the world. Kenneth Clarke collects Scandinavian stamps. Leighla Whipper collected Mexican stamps until her collection was misplaced. Philip Green has a general collection. William Collins has a general collection, but specializes in modern Europeans, while Mabel Madden is interested in antiques. Thalma Johnson collects pictures of trees. She has a large collection of such pictures. Marguerite Walker and Kenneth Clarke collect old coins. Clarke has one which he claims was found in a Roman ruin.

CRISIS PUBLISHES STUDENT'S ARTICLE ON GALLERY OF ART Member of the University's First Magazine Article Class Breaks Into Print Howard University News Release. The first magazine article written by a member of the first class in magazine article writing at Howard University has been accepted by the Crisis magazine. The article, "Art at Howard University: an Appreciation," was written by Mrs. Ruby Moyse Kendrick, while she was still a student in the magazine writing class during the spring quarter of 1932. "I is published in the November issue of the magazine. That art has a brilliant future was pointed out in the article when Mrs. Kendrick wrote: "Art at Howard has passed the stage of experimentation, and according to critics, is destined to make our university one of 'the distinguished centres of the country.'" Building a Tradition "The art gallery," the writer said when interviewed, "is building a tradition for Howard, and it is by traditions alone, that a college or university lives. The women's dinner is a tradition and music is a tradition here; and now we have art as a tradition. "But we should have more class tradition—club traditions—traditions that will bring students back from year to year, and that will influence Howardites, mentally, to pledge to see that their children will share their joys in having attended Howard. "It may be interesting to know," she continued, "that the. Howard University Art Gallery is the only colored 'Little Gallery' in existence." Department Established in 1918 Although a "department of journalism has been established at Howard University since 1918, the first journalism course was taught during the year 1926-27 by Dr. Lorenzo D. Turner, then head of the English department. He is now head of that department at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. When Dr. Turner took up his duties at Fisk University in 1928, Emile Holley, who is now professor of English at Miner Teachers' College, in Washington, taught the journalism classes. Edwin Drummond Sheen, the present instructor in journalism, came to Howard in 1929. Since that time the number of courses in this department have increased and more ambitious programs are being attempted each year by the classes. N.J. Governor Appoints Dr. J. C. Love on Survey Herds Suggestion of N.A.A.C.P.; Commission to Recommend Educational Program TRENTON, N.J.—Governor A. Harry Moore, of New Jersey, in response to a letter from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, calling to his attention that among the members of his commission to survey education in the State, there was not a single Negro, has appointed Dr. J. C. Love, of Montclair. Dr. Love has been active in man civic and educational activities and is a member of the executive board of the local N.A.A.C.P. Governor Moore has written of his action in response to the letter calling his attention to the omission. The committee was appointed by Governor Moore to "propose recommendations in regard to an essential program of modern education and the means to finance it." Among the members of the committee are the state commissioner of education; Edward H. Duffield, acting president of Princeton University; Louis Bamberger, of Newark; Thomas N.

Abyssinian Baptist Church Celebrates 124th Anniversary NEW YORK CITY (CNS)—The Abyssinian Baptist Church of this city, the largest Protestant church in the world with a membership of over eleven thousand, celebrated its 124th anniversary from November 16 to 23. It is the third oldest Negro church in the United States, having been founded in 1808 in Waverly Place, which is now a part of Greenwich Village. The anniversary is an annual event to which the entire community looks forward each year. The Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell has held the pastorate of the church for a quarter of a century. Son of Principal Figure in Arrest of Fugitive Slave Recalls Episode Charles Nalle Brought Family to Washington After Freedom in 1866; Tablet Honors Slave in Troy, New York John C. Nalle, of 1854 Third Street, Northwest, a retired supervising principal, whose father, Charles Nalle, was arrested in Troy, New York, in April, 1860, on the charge of being a fugitive slave, only to gain his freedom when the citizens attacked the arresting officers, recently recalled an account of the thrilling episode. During a visit to Troy this summer, Mr. Nalle viewed the bronze tablet placed on the corner of one of the city's principal buildings located at First and State Streets, which brought the story to his mind. The tablet bore the inscription: "This is the office in which Charles Nalle was taken at the time of his arrest in 1860 under operation of the Fugitive Slave Law." This tablet was erected as a memorial to the deceased Mr. Nale. Its erection was sponsored by a group of prominent Troy businessmen. Mr. Nalle's current story was taken from an old newspaper, the Troy Whig. The facts are also recorded in a little book written by Sarah H. Bradford under the title, "The Moses of Her People," which is an account of the life of Harriet Tubman, a Negro woman who was instrumental in leading nearly 400 of her people from bondage to the land of freedom. The deceased -Mr. Nalle moved his family to Washington in 1866, and resided here until his death in 1875. Of his family of eight children only two are now living. The thrilling narrative published in the Troy Whig on April 28, 1860 follows: The Fugitive Rescued "Yesterday afternoon the streets of this city and West Troy were made the scene of unexamined excitement. For the first time since the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law an attempt was made here to carry its provisions into execution, and the result was a terrific encounter between the officers and the prisoner's friends, the triumph of mob law and the final rescue of the fugitive. "Our city was thrown into a grand state of turmoil, and for a time every other topic was forgotten, to give place to this new excitement. People did not think last evening to ask who was nominated at Charleston or whether the news of the Heenan and Sayers battle had arrived—everything was merged into the fugitive slave case, of which it seems the end is not yet. "Charles Nalle, the fugitive, who was the cause of all this excitement, was a slave on the plantation of B. W. Hansborough in Culpeper County, Virginia, till the 19th of October, 1858, when he made his escape and went to Columbia, Pennsylvania. A wife and five children are residing there now. "Not long since he came to Sand Lake, in this county, and resided in the family of Mr. Crosby until about three weeks ago. Since that time he has been employed as coachman by Uri Gilbert, Esq., of this city. He is about 30 years of age, tall, quite light complexioned and good looking. He is said to have been an excellent and faithful servant. Betrayed by Reporter "At Sand Lake, we understand that Nalle was often seen by one H. F. Averill, formerly connected with one of the papers of this city, who communicated with his reputed owner in Virginia, and gave the information that led to a knowledge of the whereabouts of the fugitive. Averill wrote letters for him and thus obtained an acquaintance with its history. Mr. Hansborough sent an agent, Henry J. Wall, by whom the necessary papers were got out to arrest the fugitive. "Yesterday morning about 11 o'clock Charles Nalle was sent to procure some bread for the family by whom he was employed. He failed to return. At the baker's he was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal J. W. Holmes and immediately taken before United States Commissioner Miles Beach. The son of Mr. Gilbert, thinking it strange that he did not come back, sent to the house of William Henry on Division Street, where he boarded, and his whereabouts were discovered. "The examination before Commissioner Beach was quite brief. The evidence of Averill and the agent was taken, and the Commissioner decided to remand Nalle to Virginia. The necessary papers were made out and given to the Marshal. Colored Man Harangues Crowd "By this time it was 2 o'clock, and the fact began to be noised abroad that there was a fugitive slave in Mr. Beach's office, corner of State and First Streets. People in knots of 10 or 12 collected near the entrance, looking at Nalle, who could be seen at an upper window. William Henry, a colored man, with whom Nalle boarded, commenced talking from the curbstone in a loud voice to the crowd. "He uttered such sentences as: There is a fugitive slave in that office—pretty soon you will see him come forth. He is going to be taken down South and you will THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. NOVEMBER 25. 1932 PETER H. BURKE son of Charles Nalle, whose thrilling escapade during the pre-Civil War days is told in this issue. Mr. Nalle is a retired supervising principal of the District schools, now living at 1854 Third Street, Northwest. He was retired jointly with Mrs. Marion P. Shadd September 8, 1926. have a chance to see him. He is to be taken to the denot, to go to Virginia in the first train. Keep watch on those stairs and you will have a sight." "A number of women kept shouting, crying and by loud appeals excited the colored persons assembled. "Still the crowd grew in numbers. Wagons halted in front of the locality and were soon piled with spectators. An alarm of fire was sounded, and hose carriages dashed through the ranks of men, women and boys; but they closed again, and kept looking with expectant eyes at the window where the Negro was visible. "Meanwhile, angry discussion commenced. Some persons agitated a rescue and others favored law and order. Mr. Brockway, a lawyer, had his coat torn for expressing his sentiments and other melees kept the interest alive. Prisoner Tried to Escape "All at once there was a wild halloo and every eye was turned up to see the legs and part of the body of the prisoner protruding from the second story window, at which he was endeavoring to escape. Then arose a shout, 'Drop him!' 'Catch him!' 'Hurrah!' "But the attempt was a fruitless one, for somebody in the office pulled Nalle back again amid the shouts of a hundred pairs of lungs. The crowd at this time numbered nearly a thousand persons. Many of them were black and a good share were of the female sex. They blocked up State Street from First Street to the alley, and kept surging to and fro. State Judge Intervenes "Martin I. Townsend, Eqs., who acted as counsel for the fugitive did not arrive in the Commissioner's office until a decision had been rendered. He immediately went before Judge Gould of the Supreme Court and procured a writ of habeas corpus in the usual form, returnable immediately. This was given Deputy Sheriff Nathaniel Upham, who at once proceeded to Commissioner Beach's office and served it on Holmes. "Very injudiciously the officers at once proceeded to Judge Gould's office, although it was evident that they would have to pass through an excited and unreasonable crowd. As soon as the officers and their prisoner emerged from the door an old Negro who had been standing at the bottom of the stairs shouted, 'Here they come,' and the crowd made a terrific rush at the party. Street a Battlefield "From the office of Commissioner Beach, in the Mutual Building, to that of Judge Gould, in Congress Street, is less than two blocks, but it was made a regular battlefield. The moment the prisoner emerged from the doorway, in custody of Deputy Sheriff Upham, Chief of Police Quin, Officers Cleveland and Holmes, the crowd made one grand charge, and those nearest the prisoner seized him violently with the intention of pulling him away from the officers, but they were foiled; and down First Street to Congress Street, and up the latter in front of Judge Gould's chambers, went the surging mass. "Exactly what did go on in the crowd it is impossible to say but the pulling, hauling and shouting gave evidences of frantic efforts on the part of the rescuers and a stern resistance from the conservators of the law. In front of Judge Gould's office the combat was at its height. No stones or other missiles were used; the battle was fist to fist. "We believe an order was given to take the prisoner the other way, and there was a grand rush towards the west, past First and River streets, as far as Dock Street. All this time there was a continual mulee. Many of the officers were heart--among them Mr. Upham, whose object was solely to do his duty by taking Nalle before Judge Gould in accordance with the writ of habeas corpus. "A number of the crowd were more or less hurt, and it is a wonder that these were not badly injured, as pistols were drawn and chisels used. The Crowd Victorious "The battle had raged as far as Dock and Congress Streets, and the victory remained with the rescuers at last. The officers were completely worn out with their exertions, and it was impossible to continue their hold on him any longer. Nalle was at liberty. "His friends rushed him down Dock Street to the lower ferry, where there was a skiff ready to start. The fugitive was put in, the ferryman rowed off and amid the shouts of hundreds who lined the banks of the river Nalle was carried into Albany County. "As the skiff landed in West Troy a Negro sympathizer waded up to the waist and pulled Nalle out of the boat. He went up the hill alone, however, and there whom should be meet, but Constable Becker! The latter official seeing a man with manacles on considered it his duty to arrest him. He did so and took him in a wagon to the office of Justice Stewart on the second floor of the corner building near the ferry. The Justice was absent. "When the crowd on the Troy bank had seen Nalle safely landed it was suggested that he might be recaptured. Then there was another rush made for the stream kerryboat, which carried over about 400 persons, and left as many more—a few of the latter being soused in their efforts to get on the boat. On landing in West Troy, there, sure enough, was the prisoner, locked up in a strong office, protected by Officers Brown, and Becker and the door barricaded. "Not a moment was lost. Upstairs went a score or more of resolute men—the rest "piling in" promiscuously, shouting and execrating the officers. Soon a stone flew against the door—then another—and bang! bang! went off a couple of pistols, but the officers who fired them took good care to aim pretty high. The assailants were forced to retreat for a moment. 'They've got pistols,' said one. 'Who cares?' was the reply; 'they can only kill a dozen of us—come on.' More stones and pistol shots ensued. Negro Leader Felled by Hatchet "At last the door was pulled open by an immense Negro, and in a moment he was felled by a hatchet in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Morrison; but the body of the fallen man blocked up the door so that it could not be shut, and a friend of the prisoner pulled him out. Poor fellow! he might well say, 'Save me from my friends.' Amid the pulling and hauling the iron had cut his arms, which were bleeding profusely, and he could hardly walk owing to fatigue. "He [Nalle] has since arrived in Canada." Young Wood Carver Attracting Attention RICHMOND, Va.—(CNS)—Leslie G. Bolling, a young Negro who has during the past five yeras attracted attention to his skillful use of a jackknife in wood carving, has recently finished his latest work effort a study from life of Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist Church. The bust of Dr. Johnson was made in spare time over a period of three weeks. Bolling was given the commission by a committee from the First Baptist Church that presented it to Dr. Johnson as part of the "Week of Remembrance" celebration here last week. Bolling, who is 34 years old, lives at 810 North Fourth street, and began to try his hand at wood carving about six years ago. During the day he is employed as a porter in a Main street printing office. Working in his spare time and without any instruction he has gained a place among Negro artists known in New York and other cities. Some of his work has been shown there and he has received as high as $50 for a single piece of wood sculpture. Yet Bolling has never but one model, never has read any art books or magazines and has worked without wood carver's tools. He uses an ordinary jackknife. He uses blocks of poplar which have been well seasoned and first draws a rough sketch of what he intends to do. Then working with his knife he rough-shapes the figure he is carving. When he has cut down to within one-eighth of an inch of what the finished surface will be he begins to strive for details. "I work something the way a cartoonist does," he explained. "I try to pick out the most important and most obvious details of a man's face, for instance, and concentrate on them. Those are the things that people remember and they create the likeness which would only be spoiled by trying to do too much work." Bolling admits that sometimes a jackknife is inadequate for the work he is trying to do. "I certainly wish I had some tools," he said, "but I guess perhaps I might be able to pick up some second hand."

JULES BLEDSOE IN WASHINGTON Jules Bledsoe, who plays a leading role in "Show Boat," which is playing at the National Theatre last week, has been well received by his many friends during his stay in Washington. Elimination of Failure Project at Armstrong The Wednesday Assembly was addressed by one of the most interesting lecturers of the year. He calls himself "Happy Goldsmith". He always has a valuable message on foods and his method of presenting it is very convincing and entertaining. "What makes a Journalist," was the subject discussed in the Friday morning vocational guidance period. A project for the elimination of failure in our scholarship was presented at the Monday morning assembly to the upper classes. The program was sponsored by Miss L. C. Williams. A skit called the Alibi Club was written by Sarah Thompson, a senior.

Lane, who have been absent for several weeks on account of personal illness. Parent-Teacher Federation to Elect Officers Dec. 1 The Parent-Teacher Association held its first meeting of the season Thursday night at Garnet-Patterson School. George A. Parker presided. The election of officers, ordinarily in order for the occasion, was deferred until December 1, pending the report of a new committee on constitution, which Principal J. C. Payne, of the Cook School, advised would be ready by that date. Mrs. L. E. Krouse, retired teacher, was appointed executive secretary. The duties of Mrs. Krouse will be to assist Mr. Parker, president of the federation. Questioned by a delegate as to the nature of the assistance needed by the president, Mr. Parker pointed out that it is frequently necessary to have some one at the Mott School office of the federation when he is pressed for time by engagements, and to have some one there to direct the distribution of shows and clothing and that it is fortunate in having Mrs. Krouse because of her experience and interest in social work. The matter of salary will be taken up later. Mr. Payne, the treasurer, spoke of the problem of finances likely to confront the federation this winter because of distress of children from the homes of the unemployed. All members of the federation should be urged to pay their dues, and small schools unable to pay even five dollars should be asked to pay whatever they can, Mr. Payne said. Francis Junior High Pupils Make Tours of Inspection Students Enact Two One-act Playlets Friday, the Library Club, sponsored by Mrs. R. L. Clifford, conducted a program in observation of Children's Book Week. The 1932 emphasis on books by and about Americans was featured by a guest speaker, Edward A.

YOUTH'S CORNER YOUTH'S CORNER By ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB Folks, this week I shall begin my column with a lecture entitled "Youth and Athletics." Possibly because I have always been an athletic "fanatic" in favor of athletics for character building, physical growth, and for the inculcation of such qualities as good sportsmanship, honesty, and unselfishness, I have come to believe that the boys and girls who have been active participants in athletics, have been the later-determining factors in the cultivating and stimulating processes of our current civilization My humble advice to all young people (who are bent on success and achievement in this life) is to endeavor to spend your leisure time in some athletic pastime, where you will-not only be able to find diversion from your daily cares and woes, but where you will also be provided with stimulus and incentive to accomplish greater deeds. Organizations The Silhouettes gave a very delightful matinee dansante last Saturday night at the Masonic Temple which was attended by many of the younger set. Among those present were Misses Louise Watt, Louise Davis, Corinne Rite, Evelyn Turner, and the Messrs. Goffery—Watson and Larry; Percival Taylor, Timothy Thomas and John Taylor. I am still waiting for news from the various clubs concerning dances, parties, tournaments, etc. Address the Washington Tribune or Alvin (Chick) Webb, 1338 Fourth Street, northwest.

Her favorite hobby is dancing, which she says she would rather do than eat. she would rather do than eat. She also likes to swim and take part in a few sets of tennis. Possibly her love for athletics accounts for her attractive disposition, and symmetric figure—anyhow, the girl's there! Wonder If It's True That— A local "spooper" pulled a fast one on his boy friends last Saturday morning, and the poor boob didn't know he did it. Told his gang to put all of their pennies on certain digits was bound to "pop out" he said, but only one member of the gang took his advice; came Saturday evening and the number sprung out. His buddie hit for a penny and the "spooper" who was only kidding had "nary a penny" on it himself. Dumb guessing, I calls it. When There Is Help for You at the Old Indian Herb Store 1728 SEVENTH ST.

PAINT AND REPAIR YOUR OLD TOYS FOR POOR CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS Get out all the old toys in your home. Go through the play room, the attic, the store room, and see what you have that might be mended and painted to look like new. Something must be done for the thousands of little children who might not have any Christmas happiness this year. There are many who give out Christmas dinners, some who give out coal, but so many people forget that a child's soul and his imagination must be fed also. The bare necessities of life are not enough for children. They want their dreams to have substance. Only those who have been forgotten by Santa Claus know the pain of sitting with a wan face glued to a cold window pane, hoping against hope that the grand old Saint will still put in an appearance. Too many little faces have been buried in the pillow on Christmas morning, wet with tears because the stocking they hung up the night before had in it only the hole that was there the night before. Don't bring in battered toys. Paint things and make them look new. Such gifts should have a holiday look. Take wire, screws, bolts and brushes and make your contribution attractive. When the toys are ready bring them to the Editor of Woman's Page, Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, Northwest. Don't bring anything that is perishable—only toys. Before Christmas they will be delivered into the homes of children whose great joy on Christmas morning will be your best Christmas present. GERTRUDE C. FRAZIER. Editor ow Woman's Page. GREAT BRITAIN SENDS WARNING TO ABYSSINIA Alleges that Tribesmen Make Raids into Kenya Colony LONDON, Eng. (CNS) — The British government has just sent a communication to Emperor Haillie Selassie, of Abyssinia, which includes a stern warning that if he is unable to keep order in his own territories Britain would have to take "appropriate action." The communication was not made public as it was sent to the British minister at Addis Abeda for verbal transmission to the emperor. It was provoked by the receipt of news of a raid by Boran tribesmen from the wilderness of Southern Abyssinia on Galla tribesmen in British territory east of Lake Rudolf in Kenya in which raid 150 Kenya tribesmen were massacred. In addition to the slaughter by the raiders, whose rifles gave them an overwhelming advantage, a number of women and children were carried off. Villages were burned and cattle driven away, while the Kenya tribesmen, armed only with spears were killed or captured. It is alleged that 1,000 peaceable tribesmen have been killed by mauders from Abyssinia since the beginning of this year. Heretofore, the authorities of Kenya have attempted to chase them with native troops, but the raiders have always escaped in time. The British government is seriously considering the use of bombing planes as the only cheap and effective method of pursuing the mauders. On the northwest frontier of India the military authorities estimate that a bomber is worth an army of 35,000 men. The British do not accuse the Abyssinian government of furthering the raids in any way, but hold it strictly accountable. In the opinion of British authorities the raids prove that the emperor, who took the title fairly recently, is still incapable of enforcing obedience on the tribesmen of his inaccessible southern territories. Cooperative Buying Urged By Chicago Advisory Board CHICAGO—(ANP)—One of the features of the recent meeting of the advisory board of the Michigan Boulevard apartments, which was erected by the late Julius Rosenwald, was the suggested plan to promote co-operative buying on the part of the tenants of the building. According to Robert R. Taylor, Jr., manager of the apartments, the tenants spend more than $70,000 a month and if this sum could be spent with one concern the buyers could benefit by great reductions in the cost of their purchases. To work out a plan in this direction a committee was appointed composed of James Lucas, James Jackson, Mrs. Leola Stringer, Cary B. Lewis and George R. Arthur. The meeting was addressed by Alfred K. Stern, son-in-law of the late Julius Rosenwald, who told of the philanthropist's interest in the promotion of improved housing conditions.

RECENT BOOKLET TELLS STORY OF NEGRO PROGRESS Unfavorable Aspects Also Set Out in Comprehensive Survey of Racial Conditions ATLANTA, Ga.—Did you know the five greatest centers of Negro population in the United States are still north of the Mason and Dixon line? Did you know that in the last ten years the increase of Negro population at the North was several times as great in actual numbers as in the South, and many times as great in percentage of gain? Would you like definite information as to the remarkable educational gains which have been made by the race in recent years, its improved health and increasing life span? These facts and many more relative to Negro welfare are found in a booklet just issued by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, entitled "Recent Trends in Race Relations." While setting out at some length the encouraging gains which have been made in this field, including court justice, the decrease of mob violence and the increase of cooperative relationships between the races, the survey presents also the darker sides of the picture, such as inadequate health facilities, educational inequalities, economic exploitation, decided economic losses of late, and the prevalence still of a vast amount of misunderstanding and potential hostility at the level of "the mass mind." As its title indicates, the booklet presents in conduced form a comprehensive survey of the more important conditions and trends affecting Negroes, particularly in the South. Several pages are then devoted to a look at the various activities carried on by the Commission on Interracial Co-operation and its affiliated state and local committees. This commission is headed by Dr. John Hope, president of Atlanta University, and has a membership of 116 outstanding men and women of both races, representing thirteen Southern States. The commission, it is stated, will mail a copy of "Recent Trends" to anyone sending four cents in stamps. Its headquarters are at 703 Standard Building, Atlanta, Georgia.

President J. S. Clark, of Louisiana, was presiding. President J. D. Bluford, of A. and T. College, Greensboro, N.C., addressed the group, giving first a brief history of the land grant colleges, some of the handicaps confronting them, and progress that is being made now. He urged the need for scientific research with modern facilities. He also said that more library facilities, and a larger and more intensified program must be established. Students are looking to the land grant college for support and inspiration. He expressed the hope Peoples Aspirin HAPPY HOURS For relief of pain in common head colds and simple headaches.

Turner, professor of biology at Hampton Institute, spoke on "The Opportunity and Need for Experimentation in the Negro Land Grant College." Dr. Turner said: "The Negro is not a part of the great scientific world and has no way of becoming a part of it. The same is true of agriculture. We know nothing of control of disease and the processes of enriching the soil. We have no basic training in control of disease." He stated further that possibly 25 per cent of science teachers are not adequately prepared. He feels that the time has come in commercial establishments to employ many more scientifically trained men. He further stated that the students are studying with a new vision, not merely to make money but to help humanity. Dr. Turner stressed the part that nurses play in the educational programs of the rural districts. Last, he discussed at length the need for experimental stations to be controlled by competent men with Federal funds already provided for scientific study. This address was followed by a discussion. "The Curricula in Negro Land Grant Colleges in Respect to Existing Needs," was the subject of an address by Dr. Charles W, Florence of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo. He limited the subject to a philosophy and method by which the whole field may be adequately dealt with. Dr. Florence listed the best known methods of curriculum construction as: (1) consensus of opinion, (2) job analysis, (3) sociological determination, and (4) philosophical approach. Are Our Goals Valid? Then followed a discussion of these. Dr. Florence said: "At the present stage of curriculum construction there is perhaps greater need for examining the validity of our goals and objectives than for questioning the techniques being used for achieving these goals. Certainly the need is fully as great." His final idea was that the attention given to curriculum construction in our schools should be continuous and thorough-going; it should be done in the light of the best practices in the progressive and experimental colleges. A discussion of this address was led by President J. B. Watson, of Arkansas. Nine Presidents Present Representatives attended Association of Land Grant Colleges and Universities (white) meeting at the New Willard Hotel at 2 o'clock. At 6 o'clock dinner was served the members of the conference in the dining hall of Howard University.

A general discussion followed Mr. McCuiston's address, after which the meeting adjourned. Tuesday Morning's Session The sessions all day Tuesday were held at the Whitelaw Hotel. It has been customary for the conference to meet three days, but this year that arrangement was changed to two days. President C. W. Florence, of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo., was the presiding officer.

Norris, of the Agricultural Department of Kentucky State Industrial College, talked on this subject from the point of agriculture. B. L. Perry, of Florida A. and M. College, spoke on this subject from the trades aspect. Both of these speakers substituted for speakers who were unable to attend. Mrs. D. I.

Scurlock, local photographer, made a picture of the group.

White Fares Hold Up and Rob Taxicab Driver of $7 Raymond Hall, 33, 2200 block of Fourteenth Street, Northwest, a taxicab driver, reported to police, Saturday evening, that he was held up and robbed of $7 by two white passengers. Hall said the men engaged his cab at Eighth and P Streets, and directed him to drive to the 3100 block of Thirteenth Street. When they arrived there one drew a pistol and demanded his money. He returned over his receipts of the day and the men ran into an alley, escaping. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. NOVEMBER 25. 1982 NORTH CAROLINA ORGANIZES NEGRO FEDERAL RELIEF Lawrence A. Oxley Heads Program for State-Wide Work this Winter RALEIGH, N.C.—Announcement is made from the governor's office of relief that Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, state director, division of Negro welfare, North Carolina State Board of Welfare, has been appointed director of Federal relief activities among Negroes in the State of North Carolina. Lieut. Oxley has completed a survey of forty-six counties in the State, and directed the organization of local relief committees in the larger cities. The survey, just completed, shows that 918,000 Negroes, forming twenty-nine per cent of the population, furnish about sixty-six per cent of the case load carried by public and private social agencies throughout the State. Plans for the administering of Federal relief, that is, direct relief (food, clothing, shelter and medicine), and work relief projects are being developed in cooperation with the central planning committee on Federal relief in each of the one hundred counties. To date North Carolina has been allotted approximately one million dollars for Federal Relief. During the past thirty days, thirty-four Negro social workers have been added to staffs of local county and city social agencies as special investigators of cases of colored persons applying for relief. In three of the larger cities of the State a complete set-up for Federal Relief, with Negro personnel, has been organized. With the tobacco crop fifty per cent off and the cotton crop short, much suffering is expected in the rural sections of Eastern Carolina, and it is the purpose of the division of Negro relief to so organize and co-ordinate the activities of existing social forces in each community in the State as to insure that no man, woman or child will go without food, clothing, shelter, and medicine. Church bells are mentioned in Roman records as early as the year 400 A.D.

Pure WAGE-EARNING WOMEN ARE HOME MAKERS Almost four million women in the United States, or about 37 per cent of the total number employed, are enacting the double role of home maker and wage earner, according to census data just published. Conversely, about 14 per cent of the country's home makers are also breadwinners. The majority of these home makers have undertaken paid jobs not from the desire for a career or economic independence, but from the need to supplement or provide the family income. This is the explanation given by Lary Anderson, director of the Women's Bureau, U.S. Department of Labor. Many in Domestie Work Over half the breadwinning home makers were found in agricultural, industrial, and domestic work—types of employment engaged in by women chiefly because of need to earn a livelihood or to support others, it was pointed out. A fifth of the women were office workers and saleswomen, most of whom also were employed from economic need, in Miss Anderson's opinion, which is based on information obtained through Women's Bureau investigators. "The woman with a double job," Miss Anderson stated, "is making economic contributions to the family in two ways: first, by her earnings, which in many instances help very materially to balance the family budget; and second, by her services in the home, which have a definite money value, as is apparent when an outside person must be paid to perform such work. Also Work at Home "Many wage-searning women do practically all the household tasks before and after their paid jobs. Even through the employed home maker pays for domestic help, she bears the burden of planning and supervising the home and looking after the general welfare of its members. "Employment of the home maker does not necessarily mean that her home and family are neglected. A woman must give much of her time to make the home a success, but she may have to take some hours from her domestic schedule to earn money to make the home a possibility." As a measure for safeguarding the health and energies of women forced to be both maker and wage earner, and for insuring better homes and happier families, Miss Anderson stressed the importance of the shorter workday. Contrary to general belief many women are still working 10 or 11 hours a day. Pin-Money Idea Wage-earning home makers include many single women and those with broken marital ties as well as married women, according to Women's Bureau studies. The pin-money theory, still applied so extensively to married women, is an unfair handicap. Miss Anderson maintains. More definite recognition of women's increased responsibility for dependents is urged to help to raise wage standards for women at least to the level for men doing similar work. Pineapple Sherbert Subtle flavor and daintiness are requisites of a delicious fruit cocktail. And here is a recipe of exactly the kind needed for the right result; an easily made combination of fresh fruits and pineapple sherbet. The special advantage of the sherbet is its content of evaporated milk which, as so many homemakers are discovering, contributes a certain fineness of texture and inviting taste, to every kind of frozen dessert. Pineapple Sherbet 1 cup sugar Few grains salt 1 cup water 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 No 2 can crushed pineapple (2½ cups) Add sugar, salt, water, and lemon on juice to pineapple. Let stand in refrigerator 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Chill milk in ice cream can. Add pineapple mixture slowly. Freeze with a 1-8 salt-ice mixture. Yield: $1\frac{1}{2}$ quarts. To make the cocktail, place pieces of pineapple, orange, grapefruit, or berries in season, singly, or several of them together, according to preference, in glasses. (Be sure that berries are thoroughly washed.) Put a small spoonful of sherbet on fruit, just enough to form an attractive topping, yet not completely covering it. In order to secure the perfect, pleasing sensation to the tongue, the cocktail should be served frosty cold. The sherbet helps in the chilling. When the family get together at the table at the end of a day all worn and tired from their tasks, and conversation seems not too easy, nothing works a better miracle than a cool, appetizing and eyepleasing cocktail of this kind.

Delicious desserts for your Thanksgiving dinner such as the Pilgrim Fathers—with their tables groaning with good things to eat—never even dreamed of having. These ice cream novelties for Thanksgiving are among the suggestions being offered this year by the Breyer Ice Cream Company. The ice cream turkey is a beautifully-sculptured gobble containing five different flavors—French vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, pistachio, and raspberry ice. It is large enough to serve eight or ten persons. Small individual turkeys are also being offered—either alone or in assortments of pumpkins, footballs and other Thanksgiving novelties. The ice cream pie is a life-like reproduction of a real old-fashioned Thanksgiving pie. It is made like a pie, looks like a pie, and contains three different flavors of Breyer's Ice Cream. It will serve from 10 to 12 persons. SEVEN OVERCOOKING AFFECTS FOOD'S NUTRITIOUSNESS Cornell Tests Show Proteins are Affected by Excess Heat Eaters, of rare steak and red beef have a taste that conduces to superior health. Scientific data indicating the truth of this statement may be found in animal-nutrition experiments conducted at Cornell University, according to an Associated Press report from Ithaca, N.Y. Chickens fed with fish meal dried over mild heat, simulating the preparation of rams meats, grow better than others eating meal as well done that it had an almost crisp crust. Rats demonstrated a similar superior growth. The rodent experiments may be even more significant than nounty tests for human consideration, because rat metabolism is considered more nearly like that of man. The results of these cooking tests have been reported to the American Chemical Society by Dr. L. A. Maynard, A. V. Tunison and L. C. Norris. The main differences were in the degree of heat employed in preparation of the fish meal. The "done rare" results were obtained with heat in 200 degrees Fahrenheit. This heating of fish meal for animal diets is done ordinarily by manufacturers in drying the product for market. "How foods are treated in manufacture or in home cooking," said Dr. Maynard in interpreting the results, "is oftentimes more important than what they were originally. Apparently certain forms of cooking are beneficial, but too high a temperature is destructive. "The outside 'toasted' portions of the fish meal were less easily digestible. When haddock was dried by flame at more than 400 degrees Fahrenheit something apparently happened to the proteins. They were less digestible and more of them were destroyed when the fish was dried in a vacuum at a lower temperature. Vitamins so were unfavorably affected by too high temperatures." BEAUTY HINTS BY NINA TEMPLE Women who are dull and lifeless would find themselves very much peppered up and far more charming in the social world if they would make it a habit to take phosphorous to the tune of the yolk of one raw egg in orange juice each day. This is a wonderful tonic and has been found most potent by women who know. EIGHT 2,464 STUDENTS FROM 12 STATES ATTENDED HOWARD Many Improvements Listed in Report of President of University The annual report of the president, Mordecai Johnson, of Howard University, the university in Washington supported by the federal government, shows that the total enrollment for the year 1931-32 was 2,464 students from 42 states (including the District of Columbia) and 17 foreign countries. At the June commencement 362 men and women received degrees in nine schools and colleges. The number of electives in the undergraduate and professional colleges has increased and there has been a natural growth in the registration of, and number of graduates in, the graduate school. Research Bureau Established A bureau of educational research has been established in the College of Education and a new periodical, the "Journal of Negro Education," has been published. This periodical, two issues of which have appeared, is national in scope and is devoted to the disseminating of the results of such investigations as may be made at the university or elsewhere concerning problems in Negro education. The journal is to be published quarterly, the annual number to be a year book. The art gallery was visited by over 15,000 persons during the last year. There were 157 students in the university graduate school, an increase of 77 over the previous year. Eighteen degrees were awarded. The graduate work has received full recognition at several long established institutions. Persons who have been awarded master's degrees at Howard have at once gone forward successfully in their candidacies toward the doctorate, this degree not being given at Howard at present. The entrance requirements in the colleges of medicine, dentistry, and law have been more rigid. Of the 54 medical graduates in June, 1931, 49 were successful in securing general rotating internships at approved hospitals. The president reports the establishment of a pre-natal service in the college of medicine, which was extended to 979 patients this year. The work in the obstetrical clinic has increased approximately 300 per cent. The addition of three elective courses in anatomy, bacteriology, and biochemistry has been accomplished, as well as five major appointments in the department of physiology, pharmacology, bacteriology, pathology, and the professorship in medicine. The addition of the new fifty-room maternity wing to Freedmen's Hospital has greatly increased the facilities for clinical teaching in obstetrics, and the outpatient maternity service has had an average of 14 home deliveries in every month. College of Dentistry The president reports a considerable improvement in the physical equipment of the college of dentistry. Over 50 per cent of the graduates in 1931 are engaged in postgraduate study. The entrance requirements for this college have been revised, and entrance students must now present two years of college work to meet the minimum requirements. Students in the dental clinics served 4,582 persons during the year. The school of religion, which receives no aid from the government, on November 17, 1931, celebrated the 60th anniversary of its formal organization as a separate part of the university. There has been a considerable increase in the library facilities of this school. School of Law Revised The entrance requirements of the school of law have been revised. The minimum requirements are two years of college work from a Class A college or a bachelor's degree from a college of Class B rating. This revision of entrance requirements has removed the last obstacle in the way of the school's recognition by all the leading agencies in its field. It is now fully approved by them. The Council of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar registered the school on May 5, 1931. The State Department of Education for New York registered it on May 29, 1931, and the Association of American Law Schools elected the school to membership on December 28, 1931. The Harvard University School of Law has awarded two fellowships in Howard school of law for 1932.

BUREAU EMPLOYEE RETIRES AFTER 34-YEAR SERVICE Mrs. Nannie Bellows, First Woman to Be Presented Certificate of Honor After serving 34 years in the government service, Mrs. Nannie Bellows, 1605 New Jersey Avenue, North vest, was retired from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing this week. Two days before the retirement a grand dinner was given at the residence of Mrs. Isadora Letcher, 1835 Fifth Street, Northwest, by fellow employees. The day of retirement she was presented with a beautiful basket of flowers, a hand bag, kid gloves, a purse of $62.50 in gold, and many cards of esteem. Mrs. Bellows has the distinction of being the first female to receive a certificate of honor from the Bureau. The certificate and the gold purse was presented by George Duncan, chief of the Surface Division, who also made a few congratulatory remarks. Mrs. George Henry also made a few remarks. Chas. M. Thomas Lectures On Negro's Capacity Declaring that many in lead positions among us do not believe and allow for full capacity of others of our group to meet life situations, Chas. M. Thomas, speaking before the Tuesday evening forum at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., presented charts of facts in world situations, and stood against old time debate in favor of discussion of facts. Under the general topic, "The Self in the Social Order," the forum at the "Y" is presenting present-day problems as they affect every one of us at this time. It is presided over by Horace Christopher, and closes with a question box by the members. Since its opening, Mr. Thomas has presented dozens of graphic pictures of facts concerning the economic and social condition of America, to which he says we must adjust ourselves to be full Americans. "Most of the action taken by those in the lead are mere palitives," says he, "and even the so-called science work is mere piecemeal attack upon small corners of any situation." "Facts, facts and then more facts is the demand of the hour, and when secured, then plans checked as carefully as an architect does his drawings, will alone give progress that repays the effort spent in social or business lines," is his program. "We have entered a new age since the World War, just as we did after the Civil War," says Mr. Thomas, "and few see it today, as few saw the true meaning of the Centennial Exhibition of 1876, or the real purpose of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution." Mr. Thomas says our education should proceed from today back to the causes of present conditions, and that we waste too much time rummaging into the past before we have the leisure to spend in such research, or the need to appropriate the facts from it.

LYNCHLESS SOUTH IN 1933 SOUGHT BY WHITE WOMEN Association of Southern White Women Seeks to Wipe Out Mob Law ATLANTA, Ga.—A lynchless South in 1933 was the slogan of white women from 12 Southern States who started a campaign here Saturday with the hope that they will bring this section through 1933 without a lynching. They met as delegates to the annual convention of the Central Council of the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching and adopted this motto: "A lynchless South in 1933." Reports that aroused their encouragement included these: Lowest in 50 Years Only six lynchings have occurred in the United States thus far this year and only four of these were in the South, the lowest number for a similar period in 50 years. The State of Mississippi, formerly high in its lynching ratio, has not a lynching in more than a year. 7,000 Join Association More than 7,000 women in many States have joined the association within two years and have pledged themselves to the eradication of mob violence. Thirteen hundred towns and 575 counties are represented in the association's membership. Indorsed by Churches Women's organizations and churches have indorsed the movement and are lending aid, including the Council of Southern Methodist Women, the Southern Baptist Missionary Union, the National Council of Jewish Women, the Young Women's Christian Association, State federations of wo men's clubs, and various other religious and civic organizations. WHITE LOUISIANA Regarding Mississippi, where the clcolored population is greater than in any other State, the convention had this to say: Seeks 13,000 Members "If Mississippi can have a lynchless year, a lynchless South is a possible and reasonable goal." The delegates agreed to campaign for extending the membership into all of the 1,282 counties of the Southern States during the forthcoming year. Another goal is the endorsement and co-operation of all types of organized women's groups and a membership of at least 13,000, or 1,000 in each Southern State. The women pointed out they want it made plain above all things that they do not subscribe in any sense to the theory of some that lynching is sometimes necessary for protection of womanhood. Those attending the convention included the chairman, Mrs. George Maddin Martin, of Louisville, Ky., the secretary, Mrs. W. A. Newell, of Greensboro, N.C.; the executive director, Mrs. Jessie Daniel Amos, of Atlanta; Mrs. A. B. Newell and Mrs. Charles E. Maddry, of Richmond, Va.; Mrs. L. E. Brown, of Waxhaw, N.C.; Miss Lisbeth Parrott, of Raleigh, N.C.; Mrs. George E. Davis, of Orangeburg, S.C.; Miss Carrie E. Mears, of South Carolina; Mrs. J. D. Lawhorn, of Hugo, Okla.; Mrs. H. W. Hummell, and Miss Nannie Hite Winston, of Louisville, Ky. Alabama Supreme Court Orders New Trial in Scottsboro Case MOTGOMERY, Ala. —Upon authority of the United States Supreme Court, the Alabama Supreme Court has reversed its decision affirming the death sentences of the seven Scottsboro boys, and sent the cases back to Jackson Circuit Court for new trials. Thomas E. Knight, Jr., attorney-general of Alabama, recently announced that he would not oppose a motion for a change of venue in the retrial if defense counsel sought to have the new trials elsewhere than in Jackson county. WHITE LOUISIANA MOB LYNCHES MAN WISNER, La. — William House, 26, was lynched by a mob of white men, Saturday after he was taken from the Wisner town marshal and hanged from a tree.

Radio-Trician Alexandria 1144-W Will bring one to your door. 17 WORDS "Who wouldn't like to win a car?" See Your ICE CREAM Dealer DAY TEACHERS WILL BE FIRST DROPPED FROM NIGHT SCHOOLS BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SECOND SECTION CONSOLIDATION OF CLASSES TO COST TEACHERS JOBS CONSOLIDATION OF CLASSES TO COST TEACHERS JOBS Those Employed in the Day to Be First to Lose Night Positions Many night school teachers will be thrown out of work as a result of consolidation of classes, it was revealed at the Franklin Administration Building this week. Superintendent Frank W. Ballou pointed out that a large number of students are likely to drop out of school during the winter which will result in classes being consolidated. He further stated that the first teachers to be dismissed will be those who are also employed in the day time. The board of education approved a report by the directors of the evening schools, proposing a reorganization of these schools looking forward to the further standardizing of these institutions with a view of making it possible to have evening high schools accredited so that graduates of these schools may have the privilege of admission to colleges. Other recommendations contemplated putting the night schools on par with day schools. Recommendations Approved The following changes in the organization of the evening schools, both white and colored, were recommended in the report of the directors: That the opening date, closing date, vacation periods and holidays be made the same as for the day schools, thus making the evening school year have 108 evenings instead of 90. That the class period for instruction be extended from 60 to 67 minutes. That certain schools be designated as standard schools, both for grades and high schools. That at the end of the seventy-second evening of instruction all classes be consolidated and accommodated in such standard schools. That a standard diploma be awarded to students completing the high school course, viz., 32 credits. That there be no change in the per diem rate of pay for teachers, principals, or assistants to principals. These suggested changes in the evening schools recognize certain conditions. That in the fall and winter the number of students in the evening schools is very large and by March or April the number of students enrolled and in attendance is very much less, and that such students then in attendance can be accommodated in fewer classes and in fewer buildings. That by such consolidation the cost of running classes for an increased number of evenings can be worked out within the present appropriation That under this plan the number of evenings of instruction for adults in the grades and in the usual high school subjects will be increased by 18 evenings and the total number of hours of instruction per class will be increased by 30 hours or $33\frac{1}{2}$ per cent over the present number, thus making the total hours of instruction equal to the standard number of hours in the other public schools. That under this plan it will be possible for an evening school student to earn a standard diploma in five and one-half years. That pupils forced to drop out of day high school because of financial conditions can continue their education without material handicap. That students desiring to go to college may have an opportunity of gaining the adequate and necessary preparation in the subject desired for entrance. That students who need a standard diploma to enter certain fields of work will have the opportunity of earning it.

DUDLEY SEEKS TO CANCEL CONTRACT THAT IRKS DUDLEY SEEKS TO CANCEL CONTRACT THAT IRKS Retired Comedian Claims Terms With Housekeeper Embarrasing PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Sherman H. Dudley, proprietor of the Roadside Hotel, and retired comedian, who won fame some years ago with a mule, is in an embarrassing situation, it was disclosed in a suit filed by him in the District Supreme Court, Washington, recently. The suit, first news of which leaked out last week, is against Mrs. Matilda D. Poindexter, his former housekeeper, of 1645½ Eleventh Street, Northwest., Washington, D.C. Dudley asks the court to cancel a contract he made with Mrs. Poindexter. According to its terms, she was to be his housekeeper and receive $40 a month and a home in his homestead for the remainder of her life. The contract was dated October 28, 1926. Mrs. Poindexter's services became unsatisfactory in November 1929. Dudley states, and when he complained to her she quit his employ. She has since married. Dudley is engaged in business in Washington. At times, he says, he needs credit, but the contract with Mrs. Poindexter is embarrassing him in his credit and financial standing. It was their intention, he alleges, that the homestead mentioned in the agreement would be in premises at 1219 Sixth Street, Northwest, Washington, which he occupied as a home, but the agreement was so drafted that it is a cloud upon the title to all his property. Dudley owns property at 1223-1225 Seventh Street, Northwest; 1316 U Street, Northwest; 1217-1219 Sixth Street, Northwest; and 909 Westminster Street, Northwest, in Washington, valued at approximately $83,000.

THEATERS SPORTS FULL TO CAPACITY REPORTS FREED-MEN'S HOSPITAL FULL TO CAPACITY REPORTS FREED-MEN'S HOSPITAL "Never Before Have the Facilities Undergone So Great a Strain" Capital News Service The annual report of Freedmen's Hospital shows that during the year just closed the institution was operated to its full capacity. Dr. W. A. Warfield, chief surgeon, is quoted as saying "Never before have the facilities undergone so great a strain. The number of patients admitted exceeded any previous year, and the number of applicants seeking hospitalization who could not be accommodated because the number of requests exceeded the bed capacity of the hospital, was also greater than any previous year." Unemployment may account for this situation to some considerable extent, Dr. Warfield believes, but the normal increase in the population of the City and the addition of the new obstetrical wing to the hospital, increasing the number of beds from 276 to 316, should be considered important contributing factors. July 1, 1932, 188 patients were remaining in the hospital from the preceding year. During the year 4,740, including births, were admitted, a total of 4,928 indoor patients under care, an increase of 13 per cent over the previous year. Of the number admitted, 798 were pay patients, 1,458 indigent residents of the States, and 2,484 indigent residents of the District. There were discharged during the year, including births, 4,698, of whom 2,256 had recovered, 1,926 improved, 169 unimproved, and 347 died, leaving 230 in the hospital July 1, 1932, of which number 34 were pay patients. There were 1,805 surgical operations with 40 deaths. In the dental department 2,004 were treated. In the out-patient department, 9,616 were treated and 5,668 in the emergency department, a total of 15,284 as against 13,258 last year. Forty thousand and ninety revisits were made to the various clinics. The number of patients receiving the benefits of the hospital was 20,212 as against 17,594 the preceding year. CONTEST TO SHOW CLOSE FINISH A real race has developed in the Dichtman Theatres' Popularity Contest as the final week swings around. The two most recent counts of ballots revealed some interesting information. The net result of the week's business was that Emma Greene, the leader, held her own over Vivian Turner, the runner-up, with Helen Eagles apparently settled down, satisfied with third place. Saturday night's count of votes showed 240,000 credits for Emma Greene, while Vivian Turner polled only 12,000. Their totals Saturday were: Emma, 2,536,000; Vivian, 2,232,000. This is the first time that Emma has gained ground on Vivian since November 2. Vivian has been gaining weekly since that time. Tuesday's count showed renewed efforts on the part of Vivian, who polled 221,000 to Emma's 186,000. This count found them standing: Emma, 2,722,000, and Vivian, 2,453,000. Helen Eagles apparently "wants" the third prize. She received only 23,000 credits since the last report, but is sitting pretty with 1,693,000 credits in all. We wouldn't advise Miss Eagles to play the "hare," however, for a "turtle" might pass her. Fannia Offut has been going strong and may prove troublesome. On the other hand, it will be difficult for those behind to overhaul the leaders at this late date, if the leaders work at all. The votes are now worth 1,000 credits each. Those who took advantage of the larger credits earlier in the contest age now "sitting pretty." Still, we must recognize real worth; so we will give due credit to the week's outstanding contestants, who have come up from the lower brackets. Josephine Scott added 291,000 credits during the week. Catherine Lewis increased her total to 449,000. Henrietta Parker went to 164,000 and Mabel Spencer to 159,000. If these contestants had been getting votes like that during the first week of the contest, when the votes were worth 6,000 credits, Emma Greene and Vivian Turner would have real competition now.
