7 CENTS PER COPY Delegation Protesting Against Jim Crow Signs Is Insulted by Official at D. C. Water Works Committee Told "Don't Bother Me" As They Point Out Signs SUPERINTENDENT OF DEPARTMENT SEEN D. W. Holton Says He Will Immediately Launch Investigation A delegation that protested to W. V. Robinson, an official at the District Water Works, Bryant Street, Northwest, was insulted and told, "Don't bother me," when they called to his attention the posting of jim-crow signs in lavatories in a garage attached to the plant at 204 Bryant Street. The delegation, composed of A. S. Pinkett, local secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; James A. G. LuValle, editor of the Washington Tribune; and Garland Mackey, also of the Tribune, was told by Robinson that he himself was responsible for the segregation signs, and he asked, "What of it?" Holton to Investigate Later the delegation called on D. W. Holton, superintendent of the water department, at the District Building, who is Robinson's superior. Mr. Holton said that he would immediately launch an investigation. He was told that the Jim crow signs were not only against the law, but they were of defensive and an insult to 135,000 citizens in the District of Columbia. The posting of the signs was called to the attention of the Tribune and the N.A.A.C.P. Tuesday. The informant said that the signs were recently erected and had been placed on toilets designating one for colored and one for whites. Robinson Becomes Riled Robinson lost his head when told that the signs were in the building. He demanded to know who informed the delegation of the signs and said he would not co-operate with the callers unless he was told who furnished the information to the delegation about the signs. The committee refused to divulge the source of their information as they believed that Robinson would attempt to penalize or discharge the informer. Robinson, who showed his Southern makeup, took full responsibility for the segregation posters and told the delegation not to bother him any more. The committee plans to take the matter to the District Commission- era unless Superintendent Holton has the offensive signs removed. YOUTH HELD IN CONNECTION WITH 60 BURGLARIES Three White "Fences" Held for Receiving Property Worth $15,000 Leroy Dorsey, 21-year-old youth, of the 1700 block of Eighth Street. was held for the grand jury, Monday, on bond of $25,000 when he was arraigned before Judge Ralph Given in Police Court. The youth is said to be responsible for more than 60 house-breakings over a period of several months. Had White "Fences" The cases of three so-called "fences," alleged to have received stolen property valued at close to $15,000 from Dorsey, were continued. The three, Ben Seidel, 24; Mitchell Miller, 25; and Bennie Zedd, 19, all white, all of the 1200 block of Seventh Street, were held under bond of $2,000 each. Dorsey was arrested November 29 by Detective E. L. Dialstrom, third precinct, with a quantity of clothing and jewelry belonging to Fentiss Gardner, 1800 block Vernon Street. The Detective saw Dorsey running through an alley near Sixteenth and S Streets with the clothing under his arm. The boy was captured after a short chase and all the property stolen from Gardner's apartment recovered. Police said more than 25 units of : (Continued on page 2) Washington Tribune PRISONER BREAKS FROM GUARDS, RUNS TO CHAIR Condemned Man Seems Anxious to Meet Death for 1930 Murder Charles Morris, 35, was electrocuted at the District Jail Friday morning for the murder of Maggie Landon, who was shot during a fight July 27, 1930. Morris, who has been in jail for two years and five months awaiting death, seemed anxious to get it over. When he appeared in the long, high-windowed room, Morris broke away from his guards and ran at a dog trot to the plain oak chair at the far end. Unassisted, he sat in the death chair while other guards quickly applied the helmet and strapped his arms and legs. He was strapped in the chair at about 2 minutes after 10 o'clock, and was pronounced dead by Dr. W. K. Angewen, prison physician, and Dr. A. M. Gruder McDonald, deputy coroner, at eight and one-half minutes after 10 o'clock. The current was shot through his body for 1 minute and 56 secs. ds. Claims He Was Drunk Morris was accompanied into the execution chamber by the Rev. James L. Pinn, pastor of the Good Will Baptist Church, 1600 block of U Street. The Rev. Mr. Pinn read to the condemned man from the Bible as he was strapped in the chair and as the current went through his body. Morris told prison officials and the pastor that he did not remember killing the woman, being under the influence of liquor at the time of the killing. Col. Williara L. Peake, superintendant of the jail, sait. Morris slept soundly all night. Thursday night, and ate a hearty breakfast, Friday morning. The woman was murdered on the bridge over the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal at Thirty-first Street. Benjamin Brown, who was scheduled to be electrocuted December 16, was granted a 60-day stay by Justice W. O'Donoghue, last week. The date of execution was set for February 15, to allow for appeals. D. C. INVENTOR GETSPATENT ON AUTO SEAT CAPE Unique Garment Attracts Attention During Street Demonstrations The U. S. Commissioner of Patents recently issued patent rights under serial No. 552246 to William S. Hawkins, 1030 Euclid Street, Northwest, on an article that will no doubt be welcomed by rumble seat car owners. The article, a garment known as the "Collegiate Rumble Cape," aside from being a unique and useful article worn with aviator's helmet and goggles, makes an attractive outfit for cold or windy weather. On the first demonstration tour through the fashionable F Street district during the rush hour, the cape attracted so much attention that it caused a traffic tie-up. A second demonstration by Mr. Hawkins in the same district drew the attention of a daily newspaper photographer. This is the third inventive attempt of Mr. Hawkins, but is the first patient he has secured. In the other two cases, the articles were covered by prior patents, one having been filed one month before his application. The inventor, who is the husband of Mrs. C. D. Hawkins employee in the ladies' section of Reid's Store, has had several offi- Carpenter Finds Lost Screwdriver After 50 Years MARION, Ky.—Fifty years ago R. F. Elder, a carpenter, misplaced a screwdriver while building a house here. It was part of Elder's first set of tools and he searched for it a long time before giving it up as lost. Last week Elder's abandoned search had its results. He found the screwdriver between the walls of the house while tearing down the structure. BUDGET ESTIMATE INCLUDES TWO NEW COLORED SCHOOLS BUDGET ESTIMATE INCLUDES TWO NEW COLORED SCHOOLS $166,000 to Begin Building at Browne Junior High in 1934 List Of the five building items asked for by the District commissioners and the board of education for colored schools only two were allowed by the Bureau of the Budget when the 1934 estimates for the District public schools were sent to Congress, Wednesday. The building items asked for amounted t. $541,000. The amount approved was $271,000. The items not blue penciled by the Bureau of the Budget include $105,000 for an 8-room elementary school in the vicinity of Logan School, and $166.-000 for an addition to the Hugh M. Browne Junior High School. Although these two items were sent to Congress they were cut down by the budget bureau. The original amount asked for the building near the Logan School was $123,000, and the sum asked for the Browne addition was $175,000. The total amount clipped from these two items amounted to $27,600. Bates Road School Eliminated The building items looped off entirely by the Bureau of the Budget included: $110,000 for a new building on Bates Road, $125,000 for an addition to the Young Platoon School, and $7,500 for an addition to the Margaret Washington Vocational School. The total amount cut from the buildings items in colored schools was $242,000, nearly 50 per cent. The two land items for colored schools that remained in the estimates were for Phelps Vocational School and the Syphax School. The first represented an amount of $67,000 for additional ground north of the building, while a sum of $25,000 was provided for land near the Syphax School. Armstrong Projects Stricken The board of education submitted to the District commissions a total of $2,548,920 for buildings. Of this amount $991,200, or 34.2 per cent were for colored schools. Items in the estimates which were approved by the board of education and stricken out by the commissioners included the following: a $60,000 addition to the Monroe School, and three items for Armstrong High School, $70,000, $45,000, and $5,000, respectively, and the purchase of land for play space near the old Business High School at Rhode Island Avenue and Ninth Street.

Hunger Marchers Set Example for Prejudiced District Cops Become Riled When They See White Women and Colored Men Marching Together and Socializing; Make Insulting Remarks TAXI STAND NEAR SCHOOL IS CALLED TRAFFIC MENACE Board of Education Seeks to Have Stand on T Street Removed Military Instructors Given Permanent Assignments Calling a taxicab stand on T Street between Seventh and Eighth Streets a menace and traffic hazard to pupils attending the Cleveland School, the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, member of the board of education, asked, the body Wednesday to send a letter to the District Commissioners and have the commissioners to consider the transfer of the stand from the neighborhood of the school. The Rev. Mr. Bennett said the cabs endangered the lives of pupils. The board member also pointed out that drivers were reckless in passing the school when children are in the streets. The board ordered the letter sent to the commissioners. Cabs Called Menace Cabs near the school block T Street from Seventh to Eighth Streets, and pupils have difficulty crossing the street to school. The dangerous traffic hazard near the school was brought to the attention of the board following a request by Thomas G. Dade, white, who sought to have the board approve a gas station on the corner of T and Eighth Streets. The board at a previous meeting refused to approve the station and Dade sought to have the board rescind its action. The board upheld its former action. Military Mentors Assigned Another action of the board was to transfer Captain Arthur C. Newman, professor of military science in the high schools, from Dunbart to Cardoso High School. Major Harry Alwood was sent to Dunbart, and Major E. York to Armstrong. The board approved these changes. First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson reported to the board that six teachers in the colored schools had not made satisfactory arrangements in the matter of paying certain debts that had been brought to the attention of the board. The debt dodgers will be brought before the personnel committee of the board to explain why they have not met their obligations. There were two cases of white teachers who had failed to pay their debts. The board was advised that Miss K. R. Martin, a teacher at Shaw Junior High School, would be retired on December 31. The body was also advised of the death of (Continued on page 2) Hunger Marches for Prejudice Cops Become Riled When The Colored Men Marching To Make Insult By GARLAND MACKEY Although police stated there were 344 colored men and women here with the hunger marchers, this writer failed to identify more than 10 colored women and 50 men. Police claimed there were a total of 2,199 hunger marchers, of which 294 were colored men and 50 women. The hunger marchers who invaded the city this week were unlike those of a year ago in that this year's edition was more organized and refused to talk to reporters. The women looked at me with suspicion when I asked them questions, and the men were frankly hostile. Practically all had stock answers, and every one I asked told me that he or she came here to demand a lot of things from the government. They refused to discuss the advisability of making such demands, but all stated that there were millions of workers somewhere in the United States hungry, cold and out of jobs. They "demanded" that all of these workers out of jobs be given $50 cash and unemployment insurance. Refuse to Talk Many marchers became hostile when I sought to engage them in conversation, and several told me I was a capitalist because I had on a necktie and a clean shirt. One said my face was too clean to understand their alleged plight, and one big 'fellow actually threatened me, but changed' his mind when he saw a big cop hovering in the background. I also noticed that there were 1920 MRS. EMMA GREEN winner of the Lightman Theatres Washington Tribune Popularity Contest! MRSEMMA GREENE WINS TITLE OF MISS WASHINGTON The sixteen prize winners in the Lichtman Theatre's third annual popularity contest were presented with eighteen valuable gifts by Rufus G. Byars, representing the theatre chain, on Wednesday night of this week at the Lincoln Theatre. The winner of the first place in the contest was Mrs. Emma Greene, 319 Eighth Street, Northeast. She became "Miss Washington of 1932," and received fifty dollars in gold from the Dollar Dry Cleaning Co., a Leonard electric refrigerator from Kistig Inc., and a complete lady's outfit from H. Abramson Co. The winner of first place received 3,121,000 credits from the votes cast for her. She made a consistent race and held the lead throughout the contest. Her lead was threatened at certain stages by the runners, p, who made consistent gains during the second, third and fourth weeks, but the fifth week brought little competition and allowed Mrs. Greene to gain the commanding lead which enabled her to clinch the first honors. The runner-up was Mrs. Vivian Turner, of 1716 Second Street, Northwest. She received a total of 2,587,000 credits to win the Philco Radio presented by Bailey's Tire Stores. Queen of Classic Miss Helen Eagles received the diamond ring from Chas, Schwartz and Son. Miss Eagles, it is to be remem- (Continued on Page 3) two colored members in the Red Front band. All of the members of this band wore the gray uniforms of Soviet Russia. The two Negro members of the band refused to be civil or even answer a single question. The colored members of the hunger marchers last year were anxious to talk and practically all admitted that they did not know what it was all about and joined the marchers when told that they would be given food and a place to sleep. Stock Answers This year, all evidently have been schooled to repeat a set of answers to likely questions and the teachers did a good job. Each committee that called on the various departments for relief had one or more Negro representatives on it. No discrimination was in evidence, for Communists really practice the brotherhood of man. White women and colored men marched side by side while police and whites looked on the scene with boiling indignation. I heard several policemen making insulting remarks when colored and white were seen walking together, especially white women and colored men. The marchers, whatever their faults, certainly set an example for thousands of whites and the prejudiced District. I must say that in many instances the marchers were more orderly and kept their heads better than the police, because I overheard many policemen making insulting remarks to the marchers and a group of officers booed a group of marchers who ignored the insults. Office: 920 U St. N. W. MAJOR PERSONNEL CHANGES ORDERED BY H. U. TRUSTEES Print Shop, Architect's Office and Assistant to the President, Abolished At the special meeting of the board of trustees of Howard University in New York, Monday, a shake-up was ordered in some of the principal offices of Howard University. Dr. Abraham Flexner, president of the board, issued a statement in which he said that Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, will become the secretary of the board, and of the university on January 1. Virginus D. Johnston, now budget director, will become the treasurer after January 1. This separates Dr. Scott from the treasureship, demoting him in rank and salary. The board abolished the office of assistant to the president, now filled by Richard H. Hill. The print shop will be abolished on July 1, 1933, as will the office of architect, now filled by Albert I. Cassell. Another significant change is that of publicity, which will be under Dr. Scott's direction. This transfers Emory B. Smith, now publicity director, to Dr. Scott's office. The full statement as sent out by Dr. Flexner is as follows: "The board of trustees of Howard University, at its meeting on October 25, adopted new by-laws to provide a simpler and more efficient administrative machinery for the university. "The principal results of the new set-up are to re-distribute official functions more in accordance with best academic practice; to place official duties where they logically belong; to reduce administrative expenses by the careful avoidance of duplicated functions; to free the presidential office from a mass of administrative detail which heretofore has taken time which could be better devoted to the larger problems of the university; to centralize in one office the business functions and affairs of the university. "The board then appointed a committee to consider and report upon the necessary re-adjustment (Concerning the University)." POISON VICTIM FOUND IN CAFE DIES HOUR LATER Found in a Seventh Street lunchroom suffering from poisoning, taken with suicidal intent, Oscar Tobias Bergamy, 45, 1716 Seventh Street, Northwest, died at Freedmen's Hospital an hour later, Wednesday night. Private Philip G. Alter, of the traffic bureau, found Bergamy in a lunchroom at 1908 Seventh Street, two blocks from his home, and rushed him to Freedmen's Hospital in a passing taxi. He was found to be suffering from phenol poisoning and was pronounced dead 60 minutes later by Dr. P. M. Ross, of the hospital staff. A note, addressed to Lorrain Thomas, of an unknown address, found in his pocket stated that he wanted to end it all. Police notified relatives of the man, who said they knew of no reason for his act. Forced into Alley and Robbed by Armed Bandits Wardell Beatty, 30, of the 1400 block of Sixth S-treet, reported to police he was robbed of $23 by an armed pair of bandits Saturday night in the 600 block of P Street. Beatty told police of the Second Precinct that the bandits forced him into an alley where they re-lied him of his money and ordered him to walk through the alley to the next street. Boy Friend Cuts Girl at Kensington House Party Cut during a house party near her home in Kensington, Md. Bessie Daw, 22, was brought to Freedmen's Hospital early this week and treated for lacerations of the back and shoulders. She told police her boy friend, Robert Edwards, also of Kensington, cut her following a dispute. Her condition was not serious. Episcopal Priest Sues Own Church Member Who Had Him Jailed Lawyer Charged with Converting Clients' Money to Own Use Mortimer M. Harris, member of the District bar, was indicted by the District grand jury, Wednesday, on two counts of embezzlement. One count involved a sum of $222, and another of $327. Harris is alleged to have received the first sum from Fannie and William Washington at various times during March of this year. The first sum, it is alleged, was $27, received on March 19, a second of $50 on March 29, and a like sum on the same day. March 30, Harris is alleged to have received $95 from the pair while acting as their agent. During March and April, Harris is alleged to have gotten sums of money from Charles H. Braxton amounting to $327. The lawyer was charged with converting this money to his own use. WIFE CLAIMS SHE WAS GIVEN BLOWS INSTEAD OF FOOD WIFE CLAIMS SHE WAS GIVEN BLOWS INSTEAD OF FOOD Mrs. Bernice Davis Seeks Divorce and Alimony from Husband Claiming that her husband drove her from their home and that he threatened to kill her if she ever returned, Mrs. Bernice B. Davis, 901 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, filed a petition in the District Supreme Court, Friday, through her attorney, John H. Wilson, for a limited divorce and alimony from her husband, Raymond T. Davis, 2466 Ontario Road, Northwest. Mrs. Davis says that she and her husband were married on May 23 this year at Alexandria, Va., by the Rev. Mr. Adkins, and that they lived at the Ontario Road address for six months. Last November, the petition states, her husband drove her from their home without funds and threatened her if she returned. She says she has not lived with her husband since that time. Blows for Bread During the month of October and November, Mrs. Davis said, her husband was guilty of extreme cruelty, abusive language and assaults. She states that on November 28, she was entirely without funds and went to her husband with the intention of forgiving him for his past cruelty and to ask him for food. Instead of heeding her request, she claims that he assaulted her, twisted her arm and threatened to take her life if she returned home. She said police were called and a revolver was taken from her husband's possession. Davis is said to be a chauffeur for a rich family and earns $130 per month. He is said to own $4,000 in household property and has two automobiles, one a Marmon. No.4 Fire Fighters Do Police Duty in Emergency The entire force of seventeen men of No. 4 Eugine Company, the only Negro fire unit in the District, was mustered into service as special policemen during the stay of the Hunger Marchers in Washington. Captain J. G. B. Key was sworn in as inspector. The men were assigned to posts near their engine house in Southwest Washington. The men took to their new emergency jobs like veterans. All were glad when their new duty ended as all were forced to work without a rest while the marchers were here.

Prominent Pastor Claims Arrest Hurt Him and Caused $500 Damage MRS. MITCHELL SAYS HE ATTACKED HER The Rev. S. Henry White, 111 Heckman Street, Southeast, prominent Protestant Episcopal priest and vicar of St. Monica's Chapel has sued Mrs. Pauline Mitchell, 908 Howard Road, Southeast, member of the church, for $500. The Rev. Mr. White claimed that Mrs. Mitchell had him falsely arrested and had him locked up in the District Jail last September 6, and, as a result, he has suffered in health, credit, and social standing among members of the clergy, his neighbors and parishioners. Woman Claimed Assault Bernard M. Chernoff, white, represents the Rev. Mr. White, while Attorney John H. Wilson will appear for Mrs. Mitchell. When the case came up in the municipal court for trial last Thursday, the Rev. Mr. White requested a jury trial. According to Mrs. Mitchell, who is well known in religious and social circles, in Washington, she formed a girls' club some time ago and sought to have the Rev. Mr. White endorse the movement which was a church organization. Mrs. Mitchell alleges that the pastor stated that she was not a fit person to head the movement, whereupon an argument took place in the church and she claims the rector assaulted her. This took place on September 4. Rector Jailed She swore out a warrant for his arrest and two days later the clergyman was arrested and placed in jail. Friends of Mrs. Mitchell are said to have prevailed on her not to press the charges, and the case against the pastor was not-pressed. Mrs. Mitchell is prominent in local society and was formerly Miss Pauline Graham. In his partition the rector claims that he is a priest and that Mrs. Mitchell sought to injure him and his good name and to bring him into public scandal and disgrace. CHURCH CLERK ON PROBATION FOR ROBBING MAILS Former Postal Employee Changed Innocent Plea to Guilty One Robert H. Carter, former postal employee and local church clerk of 1237-a South Capitol Street was placed on probation without sentence by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat in the District Supreme Court, Monday, following his change of plea from not guilty to guilty on charges of robbing the United States mails.

Phone 620 BROKEN MORALE GREATEST MENACE TO CIVILIZATION Miss Emma Merritt States Poverty of Morale Is Biggest Alarm Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, president of the District branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, addressed a large audience of parents and teachers, Sunday, in the First Baptist Church, at Liberty, MD. Speaking on "Juvenile Delinquency," Miss Merritt graphically depicted the cancerous spots in the homes and communities, that are destroying the morale of the future men and women. She claimed that the broken morale of modern youth is the greatest menace that threatens civilization today. "The poverty of morale," said Miss Merritt, "is far more alarming in this period of depression and unemployment than the lack of the bare necessities of life food, clothing and shelter." She forcefully impressed the audience with the fact that every child is entitled to be well born, wholesomely environed, and to be properly educated so that he might fit into the life into which he is thrown. Francis Junior High Will Have Christmas Postoffice Distributed Thirty-three Thanksgiving Packages Mrs. Ora Weaver Spivey, assistant principal of the Armstrong High School, recently addressed the senior class on the advantage of going on to high school. Mrs. Spivey showed a set of interesting slides on the activities at Armstrong which are very likely to whet the interest of any junior high pupil in senior high school life. The Christmas Post Office conducted annually by the pupils of Francis will open its 1932 season on December 12 and be in operation for ten days. This postoffice is the joint project of the printing, woodwork, and art classes and the Red Cross Club. Christmas cards are designed and made into linoleum blocks by the art classes and printed by the classes in printing. The booths are made by the boys in Woodwork, the sale of stamps (Red Cross Health Seals) is promoted by the Red Cross Club. Helped the Less Fortunate As an evidence of thankfulness for their own blessings the children of the school made an effort to help those less fortunate than themselves at Thanksgiving. As a result of investigation made by the principal and teachers many needy families were discovered in the immediate neighborhood of the school To do a little toward relieving this condition the pupils of the school contributed a generous assortment of canned goods, fruits, vegetables and groceries. Members of the Junior Red Cross Club under the direction of Mrs. M. L. Cuney took delight in assorting the groceries into thirty-three packages, which were delivered to the various needy families by several of the teachers. Besides the groceries, clothing was also distributed where it was most needed. In addition to these contributions Section 7A-3. Mrs. N. C. 你生我爱有知所依 Bacchus, teacher, prepared a large box of groceries, carried goods and provisions of all sorts.

FINDS MONOXIDE GAS CAN ACT IN A MINUTE State Health Director Tries Experiment and Then Warns of Danger in Garages. ALBANY, N.Y.—Numerous deaths recently from carbon monoxide gas poisoning, among them those of a boy and girl in a parked car at Minaville, N.Y., have led B. R. Richards, director of State Public Health Education, of New York State to issue a warning to the public. The State Labor Department is distributing a pamphlet containing instructions for avoiding the gas that comes not only from automobiles but from indoor gas heaters and similar burners. The deaths of the couple at Minavile caused Mr. Richards to experiment with the gas on himself. "Just to see how it works, I tried an experiment," he said. Leaving my son to watch outside our garage, waiting for a signal from me, I closed the garage doors and started the motor of my car. This mind you, was in a three-car garage. "In just a minute I felt a sort of metallic taste in my mouth. Then I got dizzy and drowsy. I rushed to the door just as my son, realizing what had happened, threw it open." Warrenton Baptist Church Closes 14-Day Revival WARRENTON, Val—Latest returns from the fall rally conducted at the First Baptist Church here showed that over $200, had been realized.

Augustus Lewis, pastor of Jerusalem Baptist, Church, and president of the Ministers' Conference of that city, will close Friday night. SERMON OF JOHN WESLEY'S PASTOR SELECTED OF 690 Printed in Book of 25 Best Sermons of 1932 Delivery A sermon by the Rev. W. O. Carrington, pastor of the John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, at 1615 Fourteenth Street, Northwest, has been included in the 1932 anthology "prize sermons" edited by four clergymen. Mr. Carrington's discourse was one of 25 chosen from 690 sent to the editors for consideration. Mr. Carrington was pastor of the John Wesley Church from 1920 to 1924, during which time he also was on the faculty of the school of religion at Howard University. In the summer of this year he returned to the Washington charge. He is a native of British Guiana and was educated privately and in London. The sermon is called, "A 'Door Opened in Heaven,' and takes for its text a sentence from the story of John the Disciple on Patmos. John, imprisoned, saw a door opened in heaven, and Mr. Carrington develops this theme as an example of the support to be gained from religion in times of grass. It was written while the minister was at the Main Street Church in Hartford and was delivered at that church. Other Sermon Published Referring to a sermon by Dr. Carrington published in Homiletic Review, January, 1932, the Review editor has the following to say: "We wonder if the Yale and Hartford Divinity students know the powerful preacher near at hand in the Main Street A.M.E. Zion Church, Hartford. This sermon by the pastor of that church will hear intensive study—on a much used text in a practical manner." For a number of years prior to the Washington pastorate in 1920, Dr. Carrington was dean of Hood Theological Seminary, Livingstone College, Salisbury, N.C., which is the chief institution of learning of the A.M.E. Zion Church. The training and proficiency of many young ministers in the Zion Church and other denominations can be attributed to the work of Dr. Carrington while he served at Livingstone and Howard University. For more than twenty years he has been regarded as among the foremost biblical scholars and exegetical pulpiteers. The above achievement in sermonic work is regarded as a distinct honor to the A.M.E. Zion Church and the Negro ministry.

SECOND FAMOUS BIBLE NOW IN WASHINGTON Luther Volumes Locked in Vault; Gutenberg Work in Library of Congress With the arrival in Washington last week of the Luther Bible belonging to Dr. Otto H. F. Vollbehr, the capital now boasts the two books regarded by bibliophiles as rarest. First rank is accorded to the Guttenberg Bible, belonging to the Library of Congress, for which the Benedictine Monastery of St. Paul in Carinthia, Austria, received from Dr. Vollbehr the highest price ever paid for a book—$375,000. Congress bought it, along with 2,999 other Vollbehr incunabula, for a lump sum of $1,500,000. Bible in Safety Vault Before storing the Luther Bible in a safety vault here, Dr. Vollbehr took its three volumes from their individual, triple-padlocked wooden cases, turned their heavy parchment pages, and pointed out the many rarities within a rarity which makes this Bible rank so very high. Printed for George III of Annait, a defender of Luther's reform movement, the Bible was planned as one of the most elaborate and historic of books. Lucas Cranach, master artist of the German reformation, was chosen to illustrate it. He did so lavishly, with wood blocks and original miniatures, geographically colored, brilliantly illuminated. "Thirty years I have been collecting, and I have seen no art to compare with this single page" said Dr. Vollbehr of the intricate miniature depicting the contrasting philosophies of the Old and New Testaments. Has Rare Autographs The first four pages of each volume were set aside as an autograph book extraordinary for the four great reformation leaders—Luther, Philip Melanchthon, Johan Bugenhagen and Caspar Cruciger. Taking a page apiece in each volume, they carefully penned religious sentiments in four languages — German, Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Former D.C. Churchman Buried in Manassas, Va. MANASSAS, Va.-Funeral services for Edward A. Williams, who for six years was a faithful usher of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church of Washington, D.C., were held here Sunday evening from the First Baptist Church. The Reverends Henry J. Booker and J. D. Pair, of Warrenton, Va., conducted the crites. Interment was held in the church cemetery. The comfortable person to have around is one who minds his or her own business. PRODUCER NEEDED DECLARES BAPTIST MISSION WORKER The Rev. T. T. Loveless Gives Instructive Message at Meeting Crying that the time has come when we must be producers and not mere consumers, the Rev. T. T. Loveless, of Chicago, representative of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, delivered the sermon at the weekly meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Vicinity Monday. Addressing the pastors at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, the missionary worker declared "there are too many ministers who are consuming in God's vineyard and not producing." Taking a slap at corrupt preachers, he continued, "Preachers, of all men, should be on the level, regardless of the fact that the rest of the world may no chooked." He concluded: "Ministers must have spiritual backbone. To use high sounding phrases, to relate historical events, to go deep into philosophy and to memorize facts doesn't make a preacher, but to be able to redeem the soul is the thing." The Rev. Mr. Loveless also outlined the Convention's plans for this year's missionary work. Scottsboro Talk Heard Mary M. Grant, representative of the International Labor Defense, in a brief talk asked the conference for its support in the fight being waged by that organization for the freedom of the Scottsboro boys and the Logan Circle trio. She declared both cases were frame-ups and that her organization was demanding the release of the boys. Visitors to the meeting were Noble Wiley, of Baltimore, a poet, who recited his latest poem, "You Reap What You Sow"; also Mrs. Nettie Beverly, of Virginia, and Emma Mann, an evangelist singer. Special Services at Lincoln Temple The Men's Brotherhood of Lincoln Congregational Temple will meet Sunday morning at 9:45 o'clock. John H. Williams will direct the musical program.

Alary Baptist Church, was conducting revival services at Friendship Baptist Church, a few members and friends of the True and Tried Club of Mt. Alary, gathered in the private dining room of the church, and there surprised the Rev. Tyler, with a birthday anniversary party and presentation. At the close of the revival services at Friendship Church, Mrs. Tyler urged her husband to carry her to Mt. Alary Church, presumably to meet her club, but in reality, to meet the surprise party group. Two long tables, laden with food, including two birthday cakes, had been prepared for the pastor, his family, and guests. Mr. Tyler acknowledged that he was very agreeably surprised at such a token of loyalty, esteem, and affection. The Rev. R. D. Grymes, of Salem Baptist Church, acted as toastmaster, the Rev. B. H. Whiting, of the Friendship Baptist Church, gave the response, Mrs. Carrie White was the hostess. Mrs. Inez Tate sponsored the affair. People's Congregational Loyalty Day will be observed Sunday with a special message at the eleven o'clock service by the minister, the Rev. A. F. Elmes, on the theme "What shall I do with my money?"

Short addresses were made by Attorney Armond W. Scott, the Rev. and Mr. Roy, George Taylor and N. Baker, deacons of the church and R. Berry, church trustee. The history of the church was read by Nelson Brown, church clerk. Mrs. M. Ghassaway rendered a vocal solo and the church choir furnished other musical selections. Campbell A.M.E. Church Has Men's Day Sunday was Men's Day at Campbell A.M.E. Church, and one of the special features was a visit by Bishop M. H. Davis, of Baltimore, at the night service. He delivered an address concerning the church and work at Campbell, and his work in the Second Episcopal District, over which he presides. The program was inspiring and successful. The morning sermon was delivered by the Rev. J. C. Olden, and was followed by the Holy Communion administered by the pastor, Dr. Scott, and other ministers. At 3:30 in the afternoon a message to men was delivered by Mrs. Anita Anderson. Sunday night a musical and literary program, directed by Mrs. Blanche Parks, featured some of Washington's finest talent. Kenneth Brown, assistant in psychology at Howard University, was the pianist of the evening. Miss Alma Parks and Kelley Brown, of Howard, sang solos. H. Rodney, of Howard, rendered two numbers on the violin, and Miss Mary Simpson gave a reading. Among the special attractions were a number of selections sung by the Columbia Quartet, which broadcasts over the Columbia Radio every Sunday afternoon. They were called back several times by the applause of the audience. An interesting talk was given by the Rev. C. H. Parker, of the First Baptist Church, in Deanwood. J. H. Dale was the chief promoter of this day's program, with Mrs. H. Corrine Rowe acting as general chairman. The financial results of the day were pleasing. Campbell's joint official board met Monday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Dorham, 516 G Street, Southeast, with the pastor, Dr. P. A. Scott, presiding, and considerable important business was transacted. The board will meet at Campbell parsonage next Monday night.

Johnson, president of Howard University, will speak at the night service at the Berean Baptist Church Sunday. At the morning service the church will hold its last communion of the year, and the annual roll call of members.

In an article in the OUTLOOK for July, 1907, he described a stamp he had received in the mail from a friend in Denmark, where they had been sold to raise money for a hospital for tuberculous children. Rils urged the adoption of the idea in the United States. This article came to the attention of Emily Bissell of Wilmington, Delaware, who decided to use seals as a means of raising money for a similar hospital on the banks of the Brandyvine River. She designed the first seal, sold during the Christmas holidays of 1907. The next year the project became national. After that tuberculosis associations soon were formed in every state and in many cities and towns, until today, as the sale of the 26th Christmas Seal begins, there are 2054 such tuberculosis associations and committees in the country. And instead of less than 200 sanatoria, there are now 633. From coast to coast the seal pays for all-year-round local health work, especially among children, and supports such projects as clinics, nursing day. Bridge prizes were won by Mrs. Charlotte Burke, first; Mrs. Marie Smith, second; and Mrs. Clarice Prather, third. Mesdames Alphonzine Andrews, Lola Miller, Ethel Bridgeford and Mary W. Bacon, and Miss Mary Totmare were also present. PETITE BELLES The Petite Belles, a newly organized group, were entertained Tuesday by the president, Miss Florence G.

In Jacob Rils' article he explained how successful the idea had proved to be for three years in Denmark. He said that other "charity" stamps had come and gone without finding continuous public favor. "I think I can guess the reason," wrote Rils. "They didn't have the right spokesman. It remained for Hans Christian Andersen's countrymen to enlist Santa Claus." "What I want to know," continued Riis, "is why we cannot here borrow a leaf from Santa Claus' Danish year book, and do as they have done. Why should we not have a Christmas stamp, printed by a tuberculosis committee, not for the purpose of building a hospital—let each state or town build its own—but for the purpose of rousing up and educating the people in this most important matter? What might it not mean in revenue to finance the cause that creeps along where it ought to run? But, much more than that, what might it not be made to mean as an educating medium in fighting the White Plague? Practically every man who saw this stamp on a letter, or on a postal-card—it is posted on both in Denmark—would want to know what it meant. And when people want to know, half the fight is won. It is because they do not know a few amazingly simple things that people die of tuberculosis. "I am pleading for the half million poor souls all over the land whose faces are set today toward an inevitable grave because of ignorance, heedless ignorance, and for the friends who grieve with them and for them." Since the above was published, the death rate from tuberculosis in the United States has been reduced almost two-thirds, which means a saving today of 150,000 lives per year. Despite this fact, one out of every five deaths among persons between 15 and 45 is due to this disease. The war waged with money from Christmas Seals must go on unabated, until tuberculosis is utterly banished. 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 beer 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 Woman's Page.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 9, 1932 Prisons and Prisoners Prisons and Prisoners Some Prison Administrations Strive to Elevate Rather Than Brutalize the Inmates By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL Prisoners in Michigan prisons have a great many things to render thanks for at this joyful Thanksgiving period. Compare the progress and the accomplishments of our prisoners with those in any other prison and our record stands unsurpassed. It is not by accident or merely a coincidence that the prisoners in Jackson can show such a satisfactory achievement record. Neither is it an accident or coincidence that certain gardeners can continually win prizes for the beautiful flowers that they cultivate and raise. The same basic principle is responsible for both. The expert gardener does not travel the world over in search of a particular kind of soil. He accepts the land assigned him, just as nature provided it, and he thoroughly studies his soil, his climatic conditions, the weather reports and other natural and artificial sources of information. Then the gardener plants his seeds, or plants, and studiously and attentively, he cultivates their growth, supplementing nature's gifts in the various processes of tilling, weeding, watering and constant attending which results in producing a flower of such beauty, such fragrance and so conspicuous that it wins for the gardener high honors wherever flowers are shown. And in like manner the administration of Jackson prison has cultivated and brought out the rare and unknown qualities of many prisoners who did not know for themselves just what they were capable of accomplishing. Like the gardener, the administration has provided facilities for ascertaining all the pertinent data concerning the material (prisoners) with which they must work. This knowledge is supplemented by searching observations and in time each plant (prisoner) is given an opportunity to grow and blossom out under the most favorable of circumstances. And when scores of these blooms make their appearance in many diversified fields and in many avenues of progress, to the thinker and observant, the hand of the cultivator is clearly' seen and it is thus a great deal more than coincidence that so many prisoners of Jackson prison are able to make the progressive showing that they have. So much from the standpoint of the prisoner, but what of the administrators? Succely, they have much to be thankful for also. It is no coincidence that in prisons in nearly every state of the Union and Canada, within the past few years, there have been uprisings, discontent, riots, fires and mutinous insurrections but in Jackson prison these possible disorders have been minimized and hipped in the bud. Such a state of affairs makes it distinctly evident that an atmosphere of mutual good-will and an amicable spirit of co-operation must pervade within the four walls of the two Jackson prisons, and the good and progressive thoughts easily offset the evil and discouraging ones. Thus it is seen that in the circle of achievement all are benefited by a system and an administration that recognizes that there is more to a prison than walls, cells and keys, plus thousands of the socially-recognized misfits of life. We are indeed thankful that we are serving under those who believe that a prisoner has a soul and who are willing and anxious to prove their theory by contacting the soul, giving it every opportunity to grow, bud and blossom into a beautiful being and thus honor its cultivators. Thanksgiving should mean a lot to us for we have much to be exceedingly thankful for. Personally, I know that I have. Mrs. Iola N, Sewell ..... 5,000 1522, 10tk, St. N.W.

"The Better to Serve You" ELEVEN Frederick Massiah is Noted Contractor Frederick Massiah, Negro engineer and contractor of Philadelphia, has won a prominent place in the construction field. While a concrete worker by day he took an engineering course at Drexel Institute at night, and the Mercantile School of Art. In 1927 he won the Harmon Foundation Award for engineering. His work on the Walnut Plaza Apartment ($10,000,000 project) was so impressive that the University of Pennsylvania students in engineering were required to study the work as a model in engineering. Massiah has been able to secure some of the biggest engineering contracts in recent years, especially those requiring great skill, among them, Bishop White Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge, and at Germantown and Chelten Avenues the new Reading Station. His greatest achievement was the erection of the first elliptical concrete dome ever attempted in the United States. WHY BE UNLUCKY? WHY BE SICK? WHY BE UNHAPPY? WHY BE WORRIED? DOWNHEARTED?

Dunbar Coach Named President of High School Conference TWELVE OFFICIALS FLAYED AT CONFERENCE Poor Officiating Scored at Annual Meeting of Athletic Body Claims that the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference "has the odor of the underworld," that officials "win" games and that other unsportsmanlike conduct prevailed in many contests, were the high spots of the fourth annual meeting of that body Saturday, at the Armstrong High School in this city. In a short talk at the morning session, G. David Houston, principal of Armstrong, told of the many unfavorable reports coming to him of incompetent officials, or officials who favored home teams. Mr. Houston suggested to the body that outside officials be used in home games. This will alleviate many of the unpleasant conditions in the contests, he said. Pinderbughes New President At a luncheon later in the day at the residence of Mr. Houston, Charles Pinderhughes, Dunbar coach, was elected president. He succeeds Leonard U. Gibson, of Douglass High School, Baltimore, who has held the post for the past three years. Other officers named were G. T. Whitten, of Howard High School, Wilmington, vice-president; Edgar P. Westmoreland, Armstrong, secretary-treasurer; and P. L. Jacobs, Dunbar, assistant secretary-treasurer and publicity director. Next Meeting in Baltimore The next meeting will be held in 1938 in Baltimore. Douglass High School will be host. In its claim to the association Howard High, of Wilmington, stated that in the game with Stanton of Annapolis, the latter squad used all of the holds of wrestling and the punches of boxers on the Howard team members. Howard also stated that cut-throat methods were being used by the association and the conference has the "odor of the underworld." The body took issue with the Howard statement and ordered the letter returned to the sender for better language and revising. Howard refused to vote on the motion to return the statement which motion was made by Coach Edgar Westmoreland, of Armstrong. Manassas Associate Member Manassas was dropped from active membership in the conference and later reinstated as an associate member. Failure of Manassas to keep schedules was given as the cause of this action. The Manassus coach stated that lack of finances prevented his team from keeping schedules. Teams in the conference will add the Virginia team to their schedules when they have open dates. Coach Neville F. Reed, of Howard High, charged Douglass High with unsportsmanlike conduct during a basketball game in Baltimore. During the game the Howard coach ordered his team from the floor when the vice-principal of the visiting team's school told him to do so. Says Coach Lost Head Coach Leonard U. Gibson, of Douglass, defended his team and charged Coach Reed with losing his head. Mr. Gibson also scored the Wilmington coach for following the advice of his vice-principal instead of running the team himself. Reed said he took his team off the floor when he saw there was danger of the boys getting injured as a result of the rough tactics being used by the Douglass players. Gibson said a coach becomes a part of the excitement when he loses his head. Howard threatened to leave the conference, but later decided to continue in the association. The conference went on record deploring the action of a team that leaves the contest before the game is ended, or forfeiting games. However, no penalty was provided for such action. Coach Duvall Evans, of Cardozo, said he felt personally responsible for his team, and if circumstances warranted he would withdraw his team from play if he saw that the boys were in danger of becoming injured due to roughness of the opposing team. Coach Forgot Game Armstrong charged Manassas with failure to play a scheduled game and when the Manassas coach was called on the telephone it was found that the coach had forgotten the game and had lost his schedule. Called Team Off Field Coach Evans said that in the SUITS $18 0'coats NOTHING DOWN JUST PAY $6 in January $6 in February $6 in March EISEMANS, 7th & F NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD SPORTS IN SCHOOLS The old eligibility bugaboo can plague members of the South Atlantic once at their fourth annual meeting.

It makes no difference the sport in which he is engaged at The old eligibility bugaboo came into the meeting Saturday to plague members of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference at their fourth annual meeting at Armstrong High School. The question, When Does the Conference Season Begin and When Does it End? caused considerable debate on both sides. Some of the gentlemen were of the opinion that the season began when school opened and ended at commencement, while others favored a "season" that constituted the running of a particular sport, like football which begins in September and ends at Thanksgiving. The latter group favored a more lenient attitude towards boys who wished to play on club teams. A boy who is particularly fond of basketball and desires to play on his club team could begin with a club and leave when his school team began practicing. This same boy could resume play with his club when the season ended at his school, which is around Easter. Favor Full Season Then again, a boy who liked baseball and had unusual ability in that sport could play with his team after school closed and it would not hurt his eligibility standing in the conference. I agree with the former group and favor the full season; that is, from September when school opens until June, or commencement. No boy should be permitted to play with outside teams during a school term. It makes no difference whether the particular season in the sport in which he is engaged at school has closed.

There are many such teams in the District doing excellent work. When school boys, who have had the benefit of skilled coaching, compete with boys who have not had such an advantage or a little of it, the school boy robs another of a chance to take part in healthful sport.

Alabama State Juniors Score Double Victory MONTGOMERY, Ala.—After having nosed out the Southern Normal Institute eleven by a 6-0 score at Brewton on Tuesday afternoon, the Baby Hornet aggregation of Alabama State Teachers' College returned home and closed their home season here by defeating Stillman Institute by a 12-0 count at Cramton Bowl. It was the eighth game and the eighth victory for the local boys this season which closed at Mobile on Monday afternoon in a game against the Mobile County Training School eleven. game with Manassas one of his boys had several teeth knocked out and another received an injury to his head. Manassas claimed poor officiating during the game and made a counter-charge of unusual roughness by the Cardozo team. The Manassas mentor said he did not think it was advisable for his team to continue the game and called them off the field. It was voted that a committee of three, including Coaches Pinder-hughes, Naylor and Evans, be appointed to work out a point system to determine champions. Seven Titles Awarded Seven championships were awarded and plaques were given to the winning schools in the various sports. The following were awarded: basketball, Howard High; swimming, Dunbar; football, Stanton and Armstrong (co-champions); golf, Armstrong; baseball, Dunbar; and tennis, Douglass. The Stanton High School will be known hereafter as the Wiley H. Bates High School. A recent structure has been completed at Annapolis costing $57,000. The new name was in honor of a citizen who has contributed largely to public affairs and gave a considerable sum towards the erection of the new school building.

Roamers of Alexandria to Battle Plainsmen The Dunbar Community Center Sponsors Series to End Dec. 24 The Dunbar Community Center is planning a series of post season football games to be played each Saturday until the end of the month at the Walker Stadium. The series which opened last week with the Plea-ant Plains, District champions, playing the Willowtree eleven, will bring together some of the best outfits in and around Washington. Among the teams to play in the series are the Roamer A.C. of Alexandria, an all-star Baltimore team and an all-star District team, the latter two scheduled to meet in the concluding game of the series on Christmas Eve. The card is as follows: December 10—Alexandria Roamers vs. Pleasant Plains. December 17—All-Star District team vs. Pleasant Plains, December 21—All-Star District team vs. All-Star Baltimore team Gorilla Jones Victor DAVENPORT, Iowa. — Gorilla Jones, Akron, Ohio, battler, won a 10-round decision over Willie Oster, white, of Chicago, here Friday night. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 9, 1982 NUMBER PLAYERS CAPITAL CITY SPORT SCRIPTS By ARTHUR CARTER A striking example of the necessity of competent athletic officials in local sandlot games was plainly evident in the gridiron game between the Pleasant Plains footballers and the Willowtree eleven at Walker Stadium, Saturday. The game, a hotly contested one which the former team won by a 7-6 score, was considerably slowed up by the continued whining against the decisions made by the officials on the part of contesting players who seemingly just could not agree. The officials who handled the game included Mr. Jackson, physical director at Francis Junior High School, and a recognized Eastern Board of Officials member, and Joseph Drew, former Howard football player and probationary member of the same organization, who worked as referee and umpire, respectively. The other officials were Oscar Blue, former Armstrong High School player and assistant coach, and a timekeeper whose name was not reported. Mr. Jackson has worked in the majority of the local high school contests for the past three years and in many out-of-town collegiate games. His ability as a competent official has been proved. Both of the contesting teams are members of the District Football League, whose games are usually handled by a corps of aspiring officials, who are schooled by the more competent Eastern Board of Officials members. These District League officials are men who, because of their lack of time and financial gain from the job, are naturally not as alert and "on the job" as the Eastern Board members. Therefore, the sandlot players are badly handicapped when they play a game properly officiated by more technical officials. Having played throughout the season with loose officiating, and then to have every technical and violation of the rules called would handicap any player or team. So, it seems to this pillar, that the officials handling these post-season games might use a little more discretion in calling violations against these teams until they have had the opportunity to become well versed in the rules. Only one or two of these sandlot teams are coached by men who are former football players or officials who know the rules. This very fact was the cause of all the wrangling in Saturday's contest, the players in many cases being ignorant of the rules the officials charged they violated. In some cases, the players were not exactly ignorant of a certain rule, but had gone throughout the regular season with a misinterpretation of the rule, and naturally thought the official calling the violation was doing an injustice to them when a penalty was given. As it is remembered, only one decision showed bad judgment on the officials' part. That decision, however, was so important that it could have altered the subsequent result of the game. The decision came a few seconds before the first half ended when the timekeeper erroneously blew his whistle announcing the end of the period while a Pleasant Plains substitution was being made. At the time, the Willowtree team had possession of the ball on the Plainsmen's two-ya-d line. The Trees' captain protested, and the timekeeper admitted that there was a few more seconds of play remaining. On the next play, the Plainsmen's line stopped the Trees' thrust and the half was over. Had the Trees scored a touchdown on this play, the result would have been entirely different, although it is possible that the winner may have been the same. This pillar commends highly the proposal that an all-District team play an all-Baltimore team for the inter-city championship. If the eleven which is to represent the District has not already been picked, I suggest that the District League officials get together and make the selection. KID CHOCOLATE READY FOR BOUT KID CHOCOLATE READY FOR BOUT Cuban in Tip-top Shape for Featherweight Scrap with La Barba Kid Chocolate, featherweight champion of the world, is in tiptop shape to defend his title against Fidel La Barba, Los Angeles, in Madison Square Garden, Friday night. La Barba, who "retired in 1927" as undefeated flyweight champion, undoubtedly will be a short-ender in the betting, although he split decisions with Chocolate in two previous encounters. Supporters of the Cuban expect his superior speed to offset any advantage La Barba might have in strength and stamina. The clever Cuban won New York State recognition as featherweight king in August, when he stopped Lew Feldman, of New York, in the twelfth round of a 15-round engagement. His claims are disputed by Tommy Paul, of Buffalo, who holds National Boxing Association recognition, and by Baby Arizmendi of Mexico, recognized by the California commission. HORNETS WIN 7 OUT OF 9 GAMES Alabama State Squad Bow to Tuskegee and Tied by Morris Brown MONTGOMERY, Ala. — With seven victories, one tie and one defeat in nine stiff games, and with an outstanding team featuring several deserving candidates for All-Southern and All-American honors, the Alabama State Teachers' College Hornets of 1932 hung up their cleats on Thanksgiving afternoon with the distinction of the best record made by a Hornet eleven in the past fifteen years. Outstanding non-conference victories were scored over Prairie View, Southern, West Virginia State, Alabama A.&.M, and 24th Infantry, while conference victories were registered over Florida and Clark. A 7-7 tie game with Morris Brown at Columbus on Armistice Day and a last minute 7-0 defeat on a 60-yard pass by Tuskegee at Montgomery on Thanksgiving afternoon on the only two blots on an otherwise successful record worthy of national attention. The victories over Prairie View, Southern, West Virginia and Clark showed early the mettle of the 1932 Hornets who were turning in the .875 performance for their Alma Mater. Scores of the Hornets, 1932 Alabama State, 82; Army 6 Alabama State, 9; Prairie View 7 Alabama State, 8; Clark 6 Alabama State, 18; Alabama A. & M. 6 Alabama State, 7; Florida A. & M. 6 Alabama State, 12; South Carolina 7 Alabama State, 7; Morthe Brown 7 Alabama State, 6; West Virginia 4 Alabama State, 0; Tuskegee 7 Godfrey May Fight Jack Sharkey in Title Bout PHILADELPHIA.—According to representatives of the Arena Corporation, they have offered Jack Sharkey the sum of $100,000 to defend his heavyweight title against George Godfrey, of Leiperville, Pa., outstanding heavyweight. The bout may be staged in Philadelphia next summer. Jess McMahon, former associate of the late Tex Richard, called Sharkey's manager on the telephone, it was stated, and offered to pay Sharkey $50,000 when the articles are signed and the remainder one week before the fight. Sharkey's manager, Johnny Buckley, was quoted as saying he would talk the matter over with the champion before replying.

KELLER RICHMOND, Va.—The pigskin is deflated, moleskins packed away, chalked stripes dim and indistinct, grand stands dreary and deserted, uprights uprooted and king football has ended his annual reign. The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association sponsoring the grid battles of Southeastern claed turf circles boasts a galaxy of stars in a highly successful season and ye olde scribe having observed the candidates for stardom in action is among the pencil pushers puzzling over the allotment of scarce berths. Let us take an impartial peep at the potential players for our positions. Five Evenly Matched The Ends. Five evenly matched ends come in for consideration as a result of enviable records made in the skirmishes of the season: Boyd, Virginia State; Cottman, Morgan; Poole, Union; Scott, Virginia State, and Gibson of Morgan. Boyd and Cottman have a slight edge over Poole—the receiving end of the famous Union-aerial attack, Yancey to Poole. The Tackles. Speaking of speedy, scrappy tackles. . . . well, above the average they were pretty scare and Union's Jenkins and Virginia State's Harrison seem to be about the best exceptions, with Thompson, of Union, and Howard's Peyton running close seconds. The Guards. Need not quibble about these. Post Season woofers readily agree that Unthank, of Hampton, and Taylor, of Union were exceptional contenders. Rivers, of Hampton, and Rosedom, of Morgan, with Big Lawson, of State, and "Fatso" Gadeden, of Union take mention honors. Outstanding Center The Centers. All C.I.A.A. center Lewis, of Virginia State, was in his usual form and is unquestionably the pick of the crop. Farmer, of Hampton; Alston, of North Carolina State; Davis, of Union; Black, of Morgan, and Ross of Bluefield come in for honorable mentions. Government Employees to Form Athletic Association Laurence J. W. Hayes, of the Department of State, is organizing an Inter-Departmental Athletic Association which will sponsor: baseball, tennis, swimming, bowling, wrestling, boxing, track, and basketball teams. Alvin A. Webb of the Department of the Treasury, Joseph Yearwood of the War Department, Robert E. Bates of the Interior Department, Alton Carter of the Department of Agriculture, Henry Ingram of the Post Office Department, William Clark of the Government Printing Office, Sandy Garland of the Department of Justice, Irving of the Civil Service Commission, and Howard A. Walker for the Bureau of Engraving, constitute the constitution and by-laws committee. This committee is to meet at the home of Mr. Hayes, 935 R Street, Northwest, Saturday night at 8 o'clock.

Wilson, of Union; Harris, of Hampton; Malone, of North Carolina State; Hall of Howard, and Howe, of State. Without quibbling, this little fellow Wilson who led his machine to the title takes the pick while Yancey and Harris fight it out with Malone and Hall. Halfbacks. Here we have a surplus of ball-toters—all with rightful claims. For speed around the ends and pigskin-booting, I'd pick Conrad of Morgan and Williams of Union, with Troupe of Morgan and Howe of Virginia State tying with Edwards of Hampton and Robinson of Union for utility honors. Fullbacks. Stop puzzling—without a doubt, Gill of Union takes the "bull position." He has bored through the best lines offered by the association. Bounds of Virginia State takes the utility position. Kight and Frazier to Lead Georgia State Squad in '33 SAVANNAH, Ga.—During a meeting of the Georgia State gridders last week, Kight was elected captain and Frazier co-captain. Coach Richardson lauded members of the team for the fine spirit of sportsmanship exhibited during the past season and praised retiring Captain Smith for the manner in which he handled the team on the field for the past three years.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Second Team Surplus Backs 30 ANSWER COURT CALL AT HOWARD Coach Burr Without a Single Veteran for 1932-33 Team Over thirty candidates answered the first call for basketball practice at Howard University this week. Graduation and the depression having conspired to play havoc with his charges, Coach John Burr is without a single regular from last year's squad. Mickey Syphax, stellar forward for three years, graduated in June, and Sallie Hall, his sensational running mate, is negligible because of a conference ruling, robbing Howard of one of the greatest scoring combinations to represent the Bisons on the court in recent years. Outstanding among the thirty some aspirants are Showboat Ware, star football player; Emerson Parker, former Dunbar High School court star, and several other newcomers who tower around the six-foot mark. A blackboard drill during which Coach Burr emphasized the new rules was held Monday. Practice sessions will be held at odd times until after the Christmas holidays and final examinations. The first game of the season will be played against the university alumni. Lucky Numbers Guaranteed winners; sure hits; your life forecast. Send $1 and birthdate, also stamp for reply.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SPORTING NEWS 30 SEEK BERTHS ON COURT TEAM Graduation Helps Blast Va. State's Chances at Title at Title PETERSBURG, Va.—More than chirty aspirants for places on the Virginia State College basketball team answered the call of Coach James D. Barnes for the first work-out of the season last week. In spite of a large number of hopefuls, Coach Barnes has only gloomy prospects for a successful season on the court, last year's team which lost the championship by only one point having been wrecked by graduation and conference rules. Graduation has taken Red Dabney, guard and main cog in the defense of last season; Pennington, forward; Mud Johnson, utility man; and Luther Foster, Jr. forward. Dick Bell, mentioned by many last season, as the best guard in the association, has passed out of the basketball picture via the route of conference eligibility rules, having served his four years of intercollegiate competition. Of last year's regulars only Scott and Butler, forwards, and Hall, center, remain. Big Six Thompson, Mickie Creamer, King Solomon, Edwards and Teddy Boyd, all of whom saw some action last year, are in the scramble for regular berths. Around these veterans Coach Barnes hopes to build a formidable combination; but the outlook has nothing of cheer in it, according to him. Among the new comers who show some promise are Hugh Smith, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; George G. Jones, of Orange, N.J.; and St. Claire Miller, of New York. CARDOZO BEGINS COURT PRACTICE Graduation Will Rob Coach Evans of 11 Gridders of 1932 of 1932 Basketball practice at Cardozo High School began Wednesday with twenty-three candidates answering the first call of Coach Duval Evans. Three practice sessions will be held weekly at the Garnett-Patterson Junior High School gym until after the holidays. The Clerks plan to open the season with its alumni. Only one man of last year's regular quint is missing, and Coach Evans has several good players from which to mold a formidable five. Eleven Footballers Graduate Graduation will rob this year's outstanding gridiron squad of eleven players, five of which were regulars. The regulars to leave in June are Fred Robinson, Nat Dyson, Rudolph Payne, Stanford Weaver and Edward Coleman. Other players to graduate are Camp, Odellas, Foster, Harris, Johnson, and Daughton. The Clerks' next year's schedule has seven contests listed as follows: Oct. 4—Bowie (here). Oct. 13—Howard at Wilmington. Oct. 20—Bates (formerly Annapolis) (here). Oct. 27—Douglass at Baltimore. Nov. 6—Dunbar. Nov. 13—Armstrong. Nov. 17—Manassas at Manassas. CARLISLE QUINT READY FOR ACTION Basketball Team Whipped Into Shape for All Comers The Green and Gold Hurricane of the Carlslef Club Field Club has just completed a hard practice, period and has now whipped together one of the best basketball teams that has ever represented the District. Coach Keystone Davis and Captain Slim Thomas are responsible for the gathering of the team. The big guns, Jeffries and Gus Tabbs, aided by the Hawkins brothers, Brother Gray, Willie Hope, and Jack Holland are in tip-top shape, possessing an uncanny eye and sensational guarding ability. The Green and Gold Hurricane would like to book games out of town, especially in Richmond, Norfolk, Wilmington, Trenton, and New York.

JACOBS (Publicity Director of the S.A.H.S.A.C.) No football season would be complete without the usual compendium of individual talent known as the all-star team. Walter Camp started it nearly 40 years ago and the custom has grown each season until now every man who has seen one game picks his all-star team. Late years the custom has even spread to those who have not seen a game.

A few moments before Gray had plunged over the sacred last line for a touchdown and shortly afterwards, Joseph Montgomery, youthful Tree backfield man, plunged over for the eventual losers, making the final score 7-6. The victory marked the Plainsmen's seventh straight win and carried with it the championship of the District football league. Score in First Period The Plainsmen started off with a rush, keeping the Trees continually on the defense throughout the first period. Two long passes and a subsequent off-tackle jaunt with Gray toting the oval from the two-yard stripe scored for the winners in this period. The same Gray dropped back and place-kicked the extra point, which later decided the battle. Using a series of deceptive off-tackle plays interspersed with a 30-yard pass, Strawberry Butler to Lefty Smith, the Trees came right back in the second period with a sustained 85-yard drive which carried them from the Plains 15-yard line to a touchdown in teal plays. Montgomery carried the ball on the final thrust. An aerial for the much-needed extra point was batted down. A few minutes later the timekeeper's horn signifying the end of the first half halted another Willowtree drive on the one-yard line and blasted the Trees' hope for victory. Sylvester Butler recovered a pleasant Plains fumble on the 16-yard line. Two off-tackle thrusts and a penalty placed the oval on the three-yard line. Montgomery advanced it to the one, but the half ended on the next play. Late in the third period the Plainsmen threatened by driving High School Conference Certifies Officials' List Members of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference voted at a recent meeting on a list of certified officials for all conference football and basketball games.

The Asbury club put up a strong fight in the opening half, holding the Plainsmen to a 18-15 advantage at half time. Led by Josh Barnes, who tallied a dozen points during the game for high scoring honors, the Royals scored at will during the last half. In the scoring column, Barnes was followed by Butter Hill and Archie Carter, who scored ten points each. Every Plainsman took part in the scoring. Tony Wagner, Asbury forward, and Leakins, center, were outstanding for their team, each accounting for ten points. ANOTHER HEAVY MENACE LOOMS Unknown Winston Gains Recognition as Heavyweight Contender Capital News Service NEW YORK.—Edward Robert Winston, Jr., of Tampa, Florida, has loomed on the horizon as the new menace of the heavyweight division of pugilistic contenders. While the lot of a colored fighter, in any division, usually is not a happy one, the man who stands out as the current menace can always make a good living. From the days of John L. Sullivan on there always has been a black menace. Jack Johnson was the only one to win the championship, but several have prospered financially in that role. Harry Wills accumulated a fortune playing the role of bugaboo to Jack Dempey. George Godfrey succeeded Wills in the role and now, though he is trying to do a comeback, the Shadow of Leiperville seems to have lost the position of menace to Winston, who leaped into the limelight recently by knocking out Walter Cobb and Billy Jones and handing a trouncing to Ernie Schaaf. Winston acquired the sobriquet of Unknown when he made his first appearance as a substitute in Tampa. He scored a knockout over one Popper Stopper and the next day the newspaper account of the fight stated "Unknown Stops Stopper." A week or so ago Winston offered to box Schaaf in Madison Square Garden and return his entire purse if he failed to score a knockout. He made the same proposition for a match with Max Baer. Since then he has been rematched with Schaaf in Boston. Winston is to receive $27\frac{1}{2}$ per cent for his hit, which is the tipoff as to his standing in Boston. New York managers who have seen Winston box say he is a stiff puncher and game as a pebble, particularly effective against big men, when his speed is an asset. He undoubtedly will break into the Garden this Winter. If he cannot get suitable competition over here he may go to Europe to box Larry Gains, Toronto, who rules the heavyweight roost on the other side. ROAMERS CAPTURE ALEXANDRIA TITLE ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The annual contest between the Mohawks and the Roamers for the Alexandria City gridiron championship took place Sunday at Baggett's Stadium and ended with the Roamers victorious, 12 to 0. The victory also gave the Roamers the Northern Virginia title, they having previously defeated the Bass A.C. of Frenoricksburg. The Roamers with a heavier and more experienced eleven were expected to pile up a large score but the Hawks put up a strong fight, excelling the Roamers in the punting department and successfully blocking both attempts for the extra points. The largest crowd of the year witnessed the "Little Classic" which was handled very efficiently by former collegiate stars. Charlie West, Sallie Hall and Bill Bell Food and Clothing to Be Ticket to Benefit Basketball Game --- In co-operation with the project of the Twelfth Street Young Men's Christian Association to secure clothing, food and toys for the needy, the Twelfth Street Big Five and a group of picked basketball stars will clash in the "Y" gymnasium, Tuesday night, December 20th. The admission fee will be either a pound of food, a pair of used shoes, or an article of wearable clothing. Toys will also admit anyone desiring to use them. The game will be one of the treats of the basketball season. The basketball fans are not only expected to turn out for the love of the game, but an overflowing gallery is expected to be on hand to make the purpose of the contest a success. Not only will these young athletes donate their time and skill but each will bring some article of clothing, or parcel of food to help this worthy cause. Swimming Benefit The Y.M.C.A. swimming pool Facts and Fancies By Clarence Toliver BIRTH CONTROL VERSUS DEPRESSIONS; Birth control, save in very liberal-minded circles, is a tabooed subject. It is condemned not because people have thought about it seriously and conclusively, but because hypocrisy is prone to condemn anything having a wide departure from conventional social usage. Nevertheless, birth control is a matter that should interest Negroes just now in view of the exigencies forced upon the group by the depression. Is it or is it not a fact that Negroes have more children than the social and economic limitations placed upon us seem to justify? Certainly everyone knows there are many capable young men scanning the horizon for opportunities. The discouraging fact is that many of them must look in vain. With the Negro's business and industrial outlook what it is, many of these young men are doomed to go to waste in jobs as waiters and chauffeurs, simply because the supply is running too high in both trades and professions. On a much larger scale, this condition probably contributes vastly to the general woe of the depression. The belief of the "dismal science" that depressions are most readily cured by wars that take millions, by plagues and disease that carry off thousands, such as the influenza epidemic of a decade ago, has been proved a false theory. As a matter of fact, our present troubles today are really the aftermath of the war. In the treatment of disaster today the modern word is "preventive." Birth control is an agency by which governments may take preventive measures to lessen the rigors, if not the very possibility, of future depressions. Instead of our lax marriage laws which admit the bearing of children without any intelligent regard for their future, either economically or physically, it would be much better for the country, and particularly for the Negro, if a plan similar to the Mendoza law of Mexico were adopted by the United States. Certainly there would be less strain on the welfare agencies in caring for delinquency and other direful results which are the consequences of persons who enter into marriage without considering the responsibility of probable children. The Mexican Plan Down in Mexico, recently, Dr. Salvador A. Mendoza, of Vera Cruz, succeeded in having the government accept his plan, which is to become a law, for birth control. (And the land beyond the Rio Grande is said to be a backward country.) Dr. Mendoza's scheme would prohibit children to the very poor and the incompetent. In the first place, persons desiring to marry would be compelled to submit themselves to a medical board for examination. An inquiry would be made as to the health, income, and general parental qualifications of the applicants. There is food for thought here for Negroes, and it would not be such a bad idea for sex-conscious America at large. Probably illegitimacy, gangsters, dementia praecox victims, derelicts, hitch-hikers and piteous examples of humanity would considerably lessen in the course of, say, twenty-five years of birth control. It would certainly lessen the overloaded courts, hospitals, jails, institutions for unmarried mothers and juvenile delinquency, to say nothing of a great load off tax-payers. The rosy optimism of "love always finds a way," and "two can live as cheaply as one." has been forced into the realm of forgotten fairy stories by the hard fact that when a man and woman are trying Golfers Take Advantage of Warm Weather Many local golf fans took advantage of the warm weather Sunday and several were seen on the Lincoln Memorial course. Abhong chose playing with Walter E. Booch, Dr. George W. Adams, Joseph Wheerspoon, William Wheeler, H. Bethea, Dr. Savoy, Dr. Fisher, White and will stage a Christmas benefit week starting December 12 to 17. During this week admission will be a pound of food or an article of clothing or pair of shoes, which might be passed on to someone in need. The public is invited to assist in making this Christmas a real one for the needy of the city. Classes will be held for beginners. A special appeal is being made to boys and girls who will be admitted by any toy they would like to pass on to some unfortunate boy or girl. Schedule of Activities Men may use the pool every night from 7 to 10 o'clock. Men and women, Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7 to 10. Boys may swim every day from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Boys and girls, Tuesday and Thursdays from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The pool, recently renovated, is in fine condition. The water is properly heated and the classes are supervised by American Red Cross guards. to maintain a decent standard of living on an inadequate income themselves, possible children are sure to be handicapped. They are handicapped in many ways. First of all, living conditions must necessarily be bad. The child, nine times out of ten, is undernourished. Periodical examinations by the doctor, the dentist, the optician, and other child specialists are out of the question. Even now in our city schools there are a distressing number of parents unable to avail their children of benefits like these of modern life. In the country districts the distress is more appalling. There are many families with five and more children where there is not enough income to decently care for one. Property Values vs. Human Values Are such things depressing? Could they happen with birth control? Definitely, no. They could not. Then, why, you ask, is it we do not have birth control? Because our politicians are concerned with property values, not human values. In spite of the fact that the world looks askance at Soviet Russia, she, at least, has had the courage of her convictions, and adopted birth control. Bronislaw Malinowski, in his "Parenthood—the Basis of Social Structure," writes: "It is the function of science to control the future on the basis of a correct analysis of the past and present: knowledge gives foreseen in the light of experience." That is what Russia has done: that is the theory of her experiment. The hope of Russia, Lenin wrote, is in the children. The hope of the Negro is also in the children, provided we have quality instead of promiscuous quality. Mr. Malinowski's "correct analysis of the past and present" means no effort should be spared and no investigation slighted that we may pass by effects to wipe out causes. In the main, Russia's effort to bring "sweetness and light" to her people, according to reliable observers like Scott Nearing ("The Child in Soviet Russia") is in shifting the political emphasis from property values to human values. And as "knowledge gives foresight in the light of experience," it is the human values that are protected and vouchsafed by birth control. "Emperor Jones" to Be Given at Hampton Institute By George A. Kuper HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. Arrangements have just been completed by the entertainment committee of Hampton Institute to bring to the campus on Saturday evening, December 17, the original Hedgerow Theatre production of "Emperor Jones," with Jasper Deeter and Arthur Rich in the principal role. The company is under the direction of Edwin K Anderson, a director of the Negro Drama League. The production given at Hampton Institute will be Jasper Deeter's original production, in which he directed the late Charles Gilpin, and later Paul Robertson. His production has just completed a successful run at the Hedgerow Theatre Rose Valley, Pa. This theatre is acknowledged by the chief authorities on the American theatre to be one of the few significant and interesting repository theatres outside of New York. During the past ten years it has been the scene of the debuts of such now celebrated players as Ann Harding, Rose McClendon, and Edward Rose. Robinson. ADVERTISE YOUR WANTS in the WANT ADS in the WASHINGTON TRIBUNE The Literary Alcove The Literary Alcove By ALPHEUS BUTLER (Continued ) In his "Ars Poetica" or "Epistle to the Pilos," Horace treats the subject in a manner somewhat at variance with the manner and approach of Aristotle. Aristotle is concerned more with the exalted and the complicated types of poetry. He discourses on tragedy and on epic poetry. After giving a synthetic definition of tragedy, for example, he tells us more in detail of the prerequisites for the writing of a tragedy. We are informed in regard to such matters as the type of person the poet should be, the kinds of music appropriate for the tragic form, the characteristics of the good tragic plot. Horace deals with poetic matters in a somewhat different manner. We are told by Horace of the prerequisites for a good poem in the first part of the "Ars Poetics." Horace does not confine himself to a discourse on the more exalted forms of tragedy and comedy but begins by stating the rules which govern the construction of a good poem whether it is long or whether it is short. Horace is quite explicit in stating the qualifications of a good poet. He says, for example, that a poet should have knowledge of character, adherence to high ideals, combination of the dulce with the utile, intellectual superiority, appreciation of the noble history and lofty mission of poetry, and above all a willingness to listen to and profit by impartial criticism. It is rather interesting to note the method Horace suggests for securing wisdom, which is certainly desirable for one who would write good poetry. The poet, according to Horace can cultivate wisdom by studying the philosophers. "When," continues Horace, "you have first learned from them the valuable lessons of life you should apply yourself to life itself, and then your personages will speak like real living beings." This passage seems to me to be especially noteworthy: "Remember the glorious history of poetry, which—as the stories of Orpheus and Amphion show—has from the very infancy of the race promoted the cause of civilization. Then, from Homer on, it has inspired valour, has taught wisdom, has won the favour of princes, and has afforded relief after toll." In answer to the question: "Is it natural' ability or teaching that makes the poet?" Horace answers: "Both are necessary. However much people may boast of their gifts, ability without training will accomplish no more in writing than in running a race or in flute-playing." "Take a subject, yet writers," advises Horace, "equal to your strength; and ponder long what your shoulders refuse and what they are able to bear. Whoever shall choose a theme within his range, neither speech will fail him, nor clearness of order." "Not enough," continues Horace, "is it for poems to have beauty; they must have charm, and lead the hearer's soul where they will. As men's faces smile on those who smile, so they respond to those who weep. If you would have me weep, you must first feel grief yourself... "Sad tones befit the face of sorrow; blustering accents that of anger; jeets become the merry, solemn words the grave. . . . "Of good writing the source and fount is wisdom - Your matter the Socratic pages can set forth, and when matter is in hand, words will not be loath to follow. . . . "Poets aim either to benefit, or to amuse, or to utter words at once both pleasing and helpful to life. Whenever you instruct, be brief, so that what is quickly said the mind may readily grasp and faithfully hold; every word in excerces flows away from the full mind. . . . "A poem is like a picture: one strike: your fancy more, the nearer you stand; another, the farther away. . . . "Often it is asked whether a prairie worthy poem be due to Nature or to art. For my part, I do not see of what avail is of study, when not enriched by nature's vein, or native vein, untrained; so truly does it claim the other's aid, and with it a friendly league." Horace's treatise completes with stimulating passages such as the above, and such as the one discussing the question of whether or not a poet should attempt to keep alive a tradition or whether he should look within his own heart and write. This passage should be of particular value to the Negro author writing in twentieth century America. For too many are blindly trying to keep up a "tradition" of writing in dialect when, if they followed their normal inclinations and forgot color, they could produce poetry that ranked with the work of any other poet in the history of English and American literature using the same language used by the other masters. (To be continued) Helen Bagi and Helen Fodor, both 21 years old, fought a 12-minute duel with sawed-off ten-grains, near Endapst, Hungary, over the love of a handsome ferner. Miss Bagi was killed by a blow which crushed her skull. Miss Fodor's collar bone was broken during the fight. THIRTEEN The Part We Can Play During the Administration of the Democrats The Part We Can Play During the Administration of the Democrats By Theodore S. Botts The unprecedented landslide witnessed in the election of the two friends of the masses of people—Gov. Roosevelt and Speaker Garner—served notice of intolerance of greedy, deceptive and selfish leadership in American politics. The candidates all over the country who were elected, whether they were Jewish or Gentile, rich or poor, Northerners or Southerners, white or black, can truthfully attribute their success to the faith and confidence that the large majority of voters have in them to do their part to effect "a new and fair deal" to all people at home and abroad. Heretofore, the greed for money or the single desire to secure a political plum muffled and stagnated our so-called leadership in politics. This type of leadership gave little thought to men and measures, and to playing politics in the interest of obtaining the greatest good for the largest number of people in the race and country. They willfully gave self priority over race. They took pride in being narrow-minded instead of racial-minded. They prized highly deceptionism over Americanism. Little did it disturb them to have an equal opportunity to make a livelihood and a chicken in their own pots, while the masses of their race and country suffered from injustices and starvation. Just as the nation has sounded the death toll of selfish, greedy and deceptive political leadership, so are all progressive thinking Negroes determined to bury this type of political leaders before they are even dead. Fat pocketbooks from selling out the race and muffling political plums are the two main diseases which have caused our leaders in politics to be politically buried before they are dead. Those of us who are believers and supporters of democracy in the District of Columbia can be of great service to its citizenry. In spite of the District being constitutionally disfranchised, our participation in political activities, and organizations does not make us mere suckers of valuable energy and time. If we were to stop to realize that the District government is run by both houses of Congress, and the President is the chief executive of the District as well as the nation, and that it takes both money and service as well as votes to bring a party or its representatives into power, we would not speak disparagingly about being active in politics in the voteless District. Regardless of the inability of most of us to deliver the votes, we can still express our choice for leaders of the nation and fortify our convictions with our money and service to help to get the votes to elect the proper persons or party. This kind of support would effect a strong moral obligation of the leaders or party to the citizenry of the District. This in turn would create greater consideration and support in materializing adequate appropriations and facilities for our schools; appointment of men of the citizens' choice as commissioners, heads of the police and fire departments, and directors of education; adequate funds to efficiently operate our District government, and give birth to more Congressional champions for District franchise. Active affiliations with a political party in the District would not only serve as a wedge to break our way through the conduction of our city government, but it would help us to obtain more positions and jobs for our people in the District government in proportion to the population and the amount of taxes we pay. To those who are progressive citizens and have discontinued wearing civic and political blinders, it is obvious that politics in an indirect way can be, and is, played in the District. Let us then prove our ability to play our part in the reincarnation of the spirit and principles of Jeffersonian democracy under the "new deal" administration.

Marie Dressler and Polly Moran in Top-notch Form HOWARD Week Beginning Saturday, December 10th From Europe to Washington COMES FOURTEEN Marie Dressle Moran in Top Fun in a small town, mothers-in-law in prodigious battles, romance and a bit of drama—these are the elements with which Marie Dressler and Polly Moran mould a marvel in pure entertainment in "Prosperity," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's mirthful melee of batting mothers-in-law playing at the Republic Theatre for the entire week from Friday to Thursday, December 9 to 15 Marie and Polly are the mothers-in-law. They battle over the married life of their respective son and daughter until they drive the youngsters into divorce and the audience into hysterics. Amid the howls of laughter there are a few heart throbs, too, for a bid of mother love, a sacrifice, and a very tense little dramatic situation are interlarded among the laughs. Sam Wood directed the picture, and the clever young man who directed "Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford" certainly knows his comedy. Marie plays "Maggie," who gets a job in the town grocery store when the town goes broke, starts a "swap and trade" business, and finally solves the problem of good business. Miss Moran is the shrewish purlorer of pickles—incidentally that scene is a classic in comedy. Anita Page and Norman Foster play the married children, and they in turn have children—played by little Jacquie Lyn and STRAND 2 Blocks from Suburban Gardens DEANWOOD, D.C. Latest All-Talking Pictures C. J. CLARKE, Mgr. FRIDAY DEC. 9 "The Painted Woman" Jerry Tucker. Clever character comedy is contributed by Charles Giblyn, Frank Darien and Henry Armetta.

"The Big Broadcast" Star Studded Comedy at Broadway Bing Crosby, Kate Smith, the Boswell Calloway, the Mills Brothers, Cab Calloway and his band, Burns and Allen, Arthur Tracy (The Street Singers) and Vincent Lopez—all on one bill! Is that entertainment? That's the line-up which Paramount has assembled for "The Big Broadcast," a screen version of the play "Wild Waves," which will open a three-day run beginning Sunday, December 11. It is not to be supposed, however, that "The Big Broadcast" is merely a glorification of the personalities of the various radio stars, for their songs and nonsense are all incidental to a straightforward, believable and amusing story which featured Stuart Erwin and Leila Hyams, of the films, along with the kings and queens of radio.

Not the "It Girl of the Screen," or "That Red Head," or "That Collegiate Hoyden," or "The Brooklyn," or even "The Living Symbol of the Jazz Age." Her new film is "Call Her Savage," the Fox production of Tiffany Thayer's novel of the same name. Well over a year has elapsed since the famous Bow personality has been seen on the screen, a year of refreshing rest and study during which time the famous star stored up the needed energy and vital forces which she is said to release in full-flood during the unfolding of this stirring romantic drama. In the main, the loveliness of features and expressions that has endeared Miss Bow to the public remains, but to replace the hoyenisms and mad-cap flapper ways that marked her earlier screen portrayals she is reported to possess a new self-control, a poise and dignity that marks that picture as the first triumph of her maturing art. The plot of the picture relates, briefly, the dramatic struggle of an impulsive girl to control the half-savage temper which is her fiery birthright, and thereby find the one true love she craves. From a Texas ranch, where she grew up in the wild ways of the open, Clara is expelled to a Chicago finishing school by her wealthy but exasperated father. Her growing intimacy with a handsome half-breed, portrayed by Gilbert Roland, is given as the reason by her stern parent, but in reality his action comes as an admission of weakness on his part to control his headstrong daughter. From Texas to Chicago In Chicago, she enters adventure after adventure until an unwise marriage leads her to the brink of complete wreckage. The depression following her disillusionment leads her, for nearly a year, in a mad gamble THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. DECEMBER 9, 1932 with money and men. This period of her stormy career is rudely broken into by the eshock of a wire from Texas informing her that her mother, played by Estelle Taylor, is dying. Back on the ranch, amid the familiar surroundings of her girlhood, is revealed her mother's indiscretion responsible for the fiery temperament which causes men and women to "Call Her Savage." LOUIE ARMSTRONG TRUMPET KING AT HOWARD LOUIE ARMSTRONG TRUMPET KING AT HOWARD Beginning Saturday, December 10, Louis Armstrong and his band, back from a sensational European tour, will be the featured attraction at the Howard Theatre for a week. You remember the 1929 edition of "Connie's Hot Chocolates;" well, 1932 brings a bigger and better edition and with the addition of Louie Armstrong to this great aggregation of stars you are in for a real treat in the line of entertainment. This show is composed of many popular stars including the team of Faye and Hamtree Harrington. New songs, new dances and beautiful girls, all that it takes to make your visit to this theatre pleasant. R.K.O. presents the screen with a gripping drama of tears and triumph, "Strange Justice." Think of this. His sweetheart believed him innocent, his mother knew he was, but the jury believed the framed evidence and sent him to the electric chair. As usual there will be a midnight show on Tuesday and Friday. Annie Hafer, of Chambersburg, Pa., is the owner of a hen which laid a white egg with brownish tinted ends during the recent eclipse of the sun. The mayor of London, England, recently awarded a medal to each of 250 automobile drivers because they had driven for 10 consecutive years without having had an accident.

"Rockabye" is a marvelous story for displaying the talents and personality of Constance Bennett. It is drama that covers its real seriousness with a light, sophisticated touch that once in a while slips very frankly and engagingly into downright comedy, recovers, and then plunges on to very tense moments that make you sniff or haul out the old hanky. A most intriguing person is Judy Carroll, swinging like a pendulum from the Judy that was born in the gas house district to the Judy whom Anthony De Sola, theatrical manager, has trained, educated and developed into a lady so poised and clever that even the publicity-seeking world of the theatre has not guessed her antecedents. "The Midnight Lady," the new Chesterfield talkie, which will be shown for the first time locally at the Lincoln Theatre Wednesday, has all the elements of a half-dozen good pictures in one. The audience last evening, when I saw the picture, seemed to agree with me, if applause means anything, and I would not be surprised to see an S.R.O. sign in front of the box office for the three days beginning Wednesday, December 14. Edward T. Lowe has taken for the theme of this drama the old story of mother love; but he has presented it in a new and spectacular setting, with beautiful Claudia Dell as the young girl caught in the glittering toils of New York night life, where high society rubs elbows with gangland, where vice and virtue seek thrills together, where everything has its price. Sarah Padden has never been more forceful than in this role of Claudia Dell's mother, the speak-easy proprietor who whoops it up with the city's playboys, but who loses her hard-boiled manner when the life and happiness of her child are at stake. This is a role unlike any others she had done in many of its aspects, but Miss Padden comes through with a performance that must establish her among the first rank artists of the talking screen.

Her successor has not been named. Her services at the organ have met with very high commendation from various choristers under whom she has served; among them are the late Dr. James T. Walker, Benjamin Baker, Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, Albert D. Smith and Benjamin Washington. The church in appreciation of her many years of activity did not accept the resignation at once but deferred doing so for thirty days, allowing her to complete the year of 1932.

A letter was read from the school board stating the sum of $500 had been appropriated to beautify the school grounds, lay pavement and gutter, but would not be available until January. A number of books taken by parents and friends to solicit money for a hedge fund were reported, and $24.24 was taken in for the fund. About half of the books are still out and since the planting will not be done until early spring, the president wishes all who have books to continue their efforts. The little playlet presented by some pupils of the home economic department was well done. Carolyn Hollis, who told the history of the class room activities was well chosen for the part. Cook books and samples of brown bread were distributed among those present. The association appointed Mrs. Cecelia Turner to present to the city council a petition protesting the proposed cut in the school budget. The Christmas Seal committee met with Mrs. Taylor Burke at the Parker-Gray School last Friday. Effort is being made by the committee to sell as many stamps as possible.

Donaldson, police chemist, showed that one consisted of quahua of herb, another used as a lotion contained turpentine and soap, and still another had rum extract as a basis. "Doctor" Harvey told the jury that he had learned to cure "the miseries" from his ancestors of the old South, who in turn had learned from Indians how to concoct liquids from herbs which had great curing powers.

A, 372nd Inf.; and Chas. G. Young, Lieut., 368th Inf., Are Cited. Under the heading "District Heroes in the War," he was beaten by L. E. Jacquel and now running in the Evening Star of this city, the following articles have appeared recently. Lieut. Thos. E. Jones As recorded in the official citation, Thomas Edward Jones, first lieutenant, Medical Corps, attached to the 368th Infantry, 92d Division, American Expeditionary Force, was awarded the Croix de Guerre of France for heroic gallantry in action with the enemy near Binarville, France, September 27, 1918. Lieut. Jones went out into an open area, subject to the direct and intense machine-gun fire, to care for a wounded soldier who was being carried by another officer. While he was dressing the wounds of this soldier, exposed to the fire of the enemy gunners, a machine-gun bullet passed between his arms and chest and killed another soldier standing a few yards distant. The courage and scorn of danger displayed by Lieut. Jones inspired all the men who witnessed his fearless ministrations to the disabled. Residence at appointment, District of Columbia. Dr. Jones, later promoted to captain, is now resident assistant surgeon at Freedmen's Hospital. His home is at 1505 Twelfth Street, Northwest. Sergt. Ira M. Payne As recorded in the official citation, Ira M. Payne (Army sergey No. 2335281), sergeant, Company A. 372d Infantry, 93d Division, American Expeditionary Force, was awarded the Croix de Guerre of France for heroic gallantry in action with the enemy near Sechault, France, September 29, 1918. Having found, hidden in a clump of bushes, a machine; gun which was causing serious casualties to his company, Sergt. Payne crept up, killed the gunners with his rifle and captured the gun, which he promptly turned on the enemy. By his gallant fearlessness and heroism this soldier prevented further loss of life among his comrades. Residence at enlistment, District of Columbia. Sergt, Payne is now a stationary fireman in the District public school system and lives at 323 Fifteenth Street, Southeast. As recorded in the official citation, Charles G. Young, first lieutenant, 368th Infantry, 92d Division, American Expeditionary Force, was awarded the Croix de Guerre of France for heroic gallantry in action with the enemy near Binarville, France, September 27 and 28, 1918. While in command of a scouting patrol he was twice severely wounded by shell fire, but he refused medical attention and remained with his men, helping to dress their wounds and evacuate his own wounded during the entire night, and holding firmly to his exposed position, covering the right flank of his battalion. His self-sacrificial conduct and exemplary bravery inspired all the men of his command. Residence at appointment, District of Columbia. Lieut. Young continues to hold his commission in the Infantry Reserve. He lives at 1812 Rosedale Street, Northeast, and is employed in the Bureau of Public Health. Boys Arrested Following Fight With 3 White Men Four boys, the youngest 11 years old, were arrested and held for investigation following the stabbing of three white persons during a fight in the 100 block of Bates Street last week. The boys held are Edward Thomas Dickerson, 20, 1300 block of Eleventh Street; Truit Benson, 11, 1500 block of Eleventh Street; Herbert Dickerson, 16, and Benjamin Dickerson, 18, both of the Eleventh Street address.

YOUTH HELD (Continued from page 1) clothes, several overcaps and ladies' dresses were recovered from the pawn-broking establishment on Seventh Street where the three "fences" were arrested. According to Assistant United States Attorney Michael F. Keogh, Dorsey spent two years at Occoquan for housebreaking and served time in the National Training School for Boys. Among the homes he robbed was that of Mal. Gen. Stephen I. Fiqua, United States Army, chief of Infantry. Ima: "Leonard's new Ford is very cute. Lenora: "Yes. You ought to see it play dead on a lonely road." I.L.D. Martyr and Scottsboro Mother THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S FOUNDATION The late J. LOUISE ENGDAHL, with MRS. ADA WRIGHT J. Louis Engdahl, national chairman of the International Labor Defense, is shown here with Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two of the Scottsdale boys, on the eve of their departure, last spring, on the six-month tour of Europe on behalf of the Scottsdale boys. They addressed the workers of sixteen countries, and successfully mobilized hundreds of thousands to join in the mass protest against the Scottsdale lynch verdicts. Hounded by the police at the request of the American State Department, expelled from three countries, and constantly harrassed by agents of American imperialism, Engdahl was broken in health in his campaign for the freedom of the Scottsdale boys. He died in Moscow, November 21. His ashes will be brought back to the United States by the I.L.D. delegation, of which he was a member, to the World Congress of the International Red Aid. A mass memorial meeting for Engdahl will be held in the Bronx Coliseum, New York, December 18. Mrs. Wright will be among the speakers. Similar memorial meetings will also be held in Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Birmingham, Atlanta, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Selby, 47, well known physician and surgeon and owner of a drug store at Jefferson and Griffith Avenues, was booked at the Newton Street Police Station on suspicion of receiving stolen goods. At the time, the pharmacist, Oscar Stokes, 31, employed at the store by Dr. Selby, was booked on the same charge. These men were held by the authorities on the purported confession of Ortigo Armendez, Mexican youth, who was apprehended in the act of breaking into and removing cigarettes and drug sundries from a warehouse. According to the police, the youth stated willingly that he had been engaged for some time in stealing drug sundries and selling them to Dr. Selby and his employee. This statement has been denied by Attorney Curtis C. Taylor, when asked whether the charge was true, who is counsel for both of the accused men. Dr. Selby came, here from San Antonio, Texas, and is well known in the professional circles. He attended school at Prairie View College in Texas, and it is believed that he received his medical training at Meharry Medical College. His wife, Billie Selby, is considered by many as one of the prettiest women in Los Angeles. Local Democrats Plan to Banquet Mack Rowe A testimonial banquet will be tendered Mack D.

BALM BALM ```markdown ``` WHITE CARRY MORE REST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Don't Jump at Conclusions Mr. Merchant SENTENCED FIVE TIMES TO DIE, MAN STILL OPTIMISTIC Georgia Prisoner Holds Record as Most-Sentenced to-Die Man JACKSON, Ga.—Tom King, of Butts County, has established a record of being the most-sentenced-to-die man Georgia has produced. King, who was convicted in 1925 of killing J E. McNair, a county policeman, has been in jail in Atlanta since that time except when he has been motoring at the State's expense between Atlanta and Jackson, either it be retried or sentenced again to die. Case to Be Considered The latest date chosen for the electrocution of King is December 2, but it can be safely assumed that he will not be executed on that day as his case is still to be considered by the State Prison Commission. King has been tried three times before a Butts County jury. Each time he has been promptly convicted and as promptly sentenced to die. But King has very resourceful attorneys. They are indeed among the best criminal lawyers in the State. When first arraigned the defendant pleaded poverty—said he could not engage counsel. The court assigned two leading lawyers to defend him and they have been on the job ever since. Under ordinary circumstances King might have been electrocuted and forgotten by now. But these lawyers have exerted every "kink" of the law to save their client. They got him two new trials and have been before the Governor seeking clemency. Dean of Prisoners Soon after King was arrested it was decided by the Butts County authorities to send him to Atlanta for incarceration. This was done both to save the county money and for King's safety. It was feared there might be an effort to harm him and it was equally feared that he might try to get away. So now Tom King is the dean of prisoners in the Fulton County tower. He is contented in the "big jail house," where he has grown fat on prison fare. His folks come over from Butts County to see him at intervals and keep him posted on the affairs of his old home neighborhood, and notwithstanding he has been convicted three times of murder and sentenced five times to be electrocuted, he remains an optimist. He has maintained he was in bed and asleep when the county policeman was killed in the course of a prohibition raid.

Richmond Johnson, violinist; Arthur Smith, cellist; and Sherman Smith, pianist. The program included Tachiakwsky's "One Who Has Yearned Alone," Raff's "Cavatina," and Zamecnik's "Soirée." CHRISTMAS SEALS NET $12,000 THE FIRST WEEK More than 1,200,000 of the penny Christmas Seals were cashed at their par value during the first full week of the annual city-wide campaign conducted by the local Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. This represents the receipt of $12,000 toward the goal of $50,000 needed to carry on the 1933 program of protective health work. A successful ending of the sale by Christmas was predicted by Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, president of the society. "We are just beginning to fight," said Mrs. Grant, "and after 25 years of educational and constructive health work in Washington, our association has won the confidence and the generous support of the public because of results obtained. "While during all those years we have seen the death toll from tuberculosis steadily declining until it is now less than half as large as it was then, the fact still faces us that tuberculosis is still here and holds first rank as a cause of death between the ages of 15 and 45." Mrs. J. N. Saunders, president of the District of Golumbia Congress of Parents and Teachers, voiced her earnest endorsement of the seals campaign and the fight against tuberculosis, in a radio address from Station WRC. Said Mrs. Saunders: "Every time we moisten one of these little seals and place it on a letter or package, we are contributing to the cause of humanity because we are not just sealing a missive, but are thus declaring ourselves as present day crusaders pledged to fight the ravages of our great enemy, tuberculosis." Dr. T. Edward Jones, of the staff of Freedmen's Hospital, also made an eloquent appeal to the public of Washington in a radio talk from Station WOL. During the coming week the campaign is to be further extended by the enlisting of a number of women's organizations who will conduct sales booths in stores and banks. Highland Beach Officials Tribute Annapolis Judge The commission of Highland Beach were special guests at ceremonies last week when Nicholas Green was sworn in as judge of the Annapolis court. The new judge is a noted attorney of Annapolis and represents the Highland Beach commissioners in several legal matters pertaining to the town. The commissioners presented the new judge a floral wreath. SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1945 STUDENTS OF THE BRUCE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on Kenyon Street, Northwest, between Georgia and Sherman Avenues, who won the first notebook prize awarded to a colored school in the District MANY SCHOOLS IN NOTEBOOK CONTEST Highest Class-Award in the City Won by Bruce School The pupils of Divisions 10 to 13, constituting the colored schools of this city, won notable success in the recent annual contest in making forestry notebooks. This is an event where individual pupils both white and colored compete for medals offered by the American Forestry Association. There is competition also for a medal to the class presenting the best notebook made by the co-operative effort of all the pupils in one classroom. This medal was won by the 6A grade of Bruce School, Mrs. E. L. Hunton, teacher. This book was unique in design and constructed of wood. The class books of the 5A grade, Simmons School, and the 6A grade, Slater School, were very close runners up. The teachers of these classes were Miss M. P. Knorl and Mrs. H. G. Dixon. The most gratifying feature of the contest was the fact that all the competition for the class book medals was between classes of divisions 10-13. Books from the other divisions were not in the finals. The winning books were selected from hundreds of individual books and scores of class books submitted from pupils of the District of Columbia and nearby Maryland and Virginia. The work was supervised by Miss THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 9, 1932 Southernaires Quartette Famous Radio Stars in person GRAND CONCERT AT Metropolitan A.M.E. Church 1518 M ST., N.W.

WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON From The World Tomorrow Born December 10, 1805 "But why so vehement? so unyielding? so severe? Because the times and the cause demand vehement. An immense iceberg larger and more impenetrable than any which floats in the Arctic Ocean, is to be dissolved, and a little extra heat is not only pardonable, but absolutely necessary....How, then, ought I to feel, and speak, and write, in view of a system which is red with innocent blood, drawn from the bodies of millions of our countrymen by the scourge of brutal drivers? "How ought I to feel and speak? As a man! as a patriot! as a philanthropist! as a Christian! My soul should be, as it is, on fire. I should thunder—I should lighten. I should blow the trumpet of slarin, long and loud. I should use just such language, as is most descriptive of the crime. "I should imitate the example of Christ, who, when he had to do with people of like manners, called them sharply by their proper names—such as, an adulterous and perverse generation, a brood of vipers, hypocrites, children of the devil who could not escape the damnation of hell .... I will not waste my strength in foolishly endeavoring to beat down this great Bastile with a feather." — From Makers of Freedom. LIFE BEGINS Driver Found Guilty of Manslaughter in Fatality ROCKVILLE, Md.-Karl) Brown, 26, of Washington, was found guilty of manslaughter by a jury in the circuit court here Thursday. Brown was arrested last May 30 following an automobile accident at Hyattstown which resulted in the death of Walter E. Early, white, of Washington. Brown's car collided with another machine going in the same direction, upset, skidded across the road and struck Early, who was standing beside his own car making some repairs. "MISS WASHINGTON" (Continued from page 1) beered, was selected from the entire group of contestants to be Queen of the Howard-Lincoln football classic. Miss Eagles, representing the best collegiate type, had her share of popularity, finishing third among the 69 contestants who finished. Miss Fannie C. Offutt received an all-electric Motorola automobile radio from the Manhattan Auto and Radio Stores. As fourth prize winner, Miss Offutt received 1,400,000 credits, making the strongest finish of any of the contestants. Her count was nearly double that of Mrs. Agnes Anderson, whose fifth place win gave her the double studio couch presented by the Nachman Furniture Co. The sixth prize was awarded to Josephine Scott, who received the twenty-five dollars in gold that was presented by the Lincoln Delicatessen. The next ten prizes were presented by the Prudom Taxi Service. Each of these ten young ladies received five dollars. Three of the young ladies were not present to receive their awards, while another, being sick, was represented by a substitute. Those winning the awards were as follows: 7th, Miss Agnes Williams; 8th, Miss Catherine Lewis; 9th, Mrs. Louise Lewis; 10th, Miss Katherine Browne, 11th, Miss Henrietta Parker, 12th, Mrs. Mabel Spencer; 13th, Mrs. Mamie Plummer; 14th, Mrs. Edna Gant Jasper; 15th, Mrs. Muth Ashton; and 16th, Mrs. Lucy Henry. The entire project went off according to schedule. All prizes were awarded exactly as advertised. The rules of the contest were published weekly during the period and were strictly enforced at all times. The contest was a co-operative venture with a three-fold purpose—to increase the popularity of the Washington Tribune, to gain more patrons for the Lichtman Theatres, and to attract new customers to the places of business of those presenting the prizes. HOWARD PERSONNEL (Continued from page 1) to meet the new requirements. This committee reported at the meeting held today, and after full consideration of its various recommendations, the board made the following personnel changes: "Dr. Emmett J. Scott was appointed to be secretary of the board of trustees and secretary of the university, effective January 1, 1933. On and after that date the following duties are specifically assigned to the office of the secretary, in addition to such others as the board may hereafter appoint: All secretarial duties of the board of trustees; all secretarial duties of the executive committee; official keeper of the records and archives of the university; in charge of publicity; maintenance of a bureau of official information of the university; all arrangements for reception and entertainment of visitors and guests of the university; arrangements for meetings of the board; arrangements for commencement exercises; in charge of promotional activities, especially the development of a supporting constituency aside from Congressional aid, and assisting and co-operating with the several schools and divisions in their student campaigns; publication of the university catalogue, and the bulletins of the several schools and departments, and other official documents. "These duties, of course, like those of all other officers, will be undertaken in co-operation with and under the supervision of the president of the university. Dr. Scott accepted the appointment to the new position. "Inasmuch as the bureau of official information of the university has been assigned to the office of the secretary, Emory B. Smith, as director of public information, has been transferred to the office of the secretary, and will be under the direction and supervision of that officer. This transfer is also effective as of January 1, 1933." "Virginius D. Johnaton, who is at present serving the university as director of budget, has been appointed treasurer of the university, effective January 1, 1933. A survey of the treasurer's office for the purpose of internal reorganization consequent upon the centralization of all of the business of the university therein, is now being made by Thaddeus Hungate, financial director of Teachers' College of Columbia University, who has been loaned to Howard University for this service. There will be no internal changes in this office until the survey by Mr. Hungate has been concluded. "The position of assistant to the president of the university has been abolished. Mr. Hill, who is now temporarily filling this position, has been transferred to the School of Religion. "At the October meeting, the board ordered that the construction of the three remaining buildings for which appropriations have been made be proceeded with at once. Upon completion of these buildings, the board will in the future relate architects' services to building projects as and when appropriations for the same are made, and will treat each such project as a separate financial entity. Under this policy, and in the face of a large and growing deficit, the board voted to discontinue the architect's office at the close of the fiscal year in June. 1933.

In any event, as long as I am Chairman of the Howard Board, the conduct of the institution is not going to be influenced in the slightest degree by press comments. I am absolutely certain universities cannot be run by or under the hammering of newspapers. I should be happy if you could bring yourself to take the same view. If at any time you have anything of interest or importance to say respecting the institution, I shall consider it courteously and imputially, but denunciation in the press will have absolutely no influence whatsoever. This letter was answered on November 23, but so far, Dr. Flexner has not seen fit to reply or even acknowledge the receipt of the answer. We are surprised at the attitude Dr. Flexner takes toward the Negro press, and must confess that we were not aware of the fact that there is a public institution in this country which is not amenable to public opinion. Nor did we realize the greatness of the president of the trustee board of Howard University. He is so great and so powerful, so autocratic that he is above being impressed or influenced by public opinion as expressed in editorial comment of a Negro newspaper. That is an arrogant attitude that even President Hoover would hardly dare assume. Dr. Flexner says: "In any event, as long as I am chairman of the Howard Board, the conduct of the institution is not going to be influenced in the slightest degree by press comment."

Could the old Czar of Russia or the former Kaiser of Germany assume a more arrogant attitude than is expressed in that sentence? Regarding Dr. Flexner's reference to the press of New York and Boston toward the colleges of those cities we say: First, the cases are not altogether the same.

Second, Columbia and Harvard have trustee boards, made up largely from the honorable alumni of the universities, who have a keen interest in the success and welfare of the schools. Howard has not. Third, Columbia and Harvard have educators as presidents. Howard has not. Fourth, Howard University has been in turmoil for many years without any manifestation of interest on the part of the trustee board. Columbia and Harvard have not The morale of the faculty and student body of Howard is all shot to pieces because of this turmoil. That is not true at Columbia nor at Harvard. The student body was on the verge of an open rebellion at Howard, Friday, and appointed a committee of six to draw up and present their grievances to the president. Dr. Flexner is reported to have formed his decision to fire Dr. Julian, wholly on the press report of Dr. Julian's associations with "white" women while in Europe. He fell for that press report. Why? Dr. Flexner should be consistent. If press reports will have not the slightest influence with him, why does he maintain a publicity man at $2,600 a year with a stenographer? Why did he send out a three-page release this week purporting to give an account of the action of the board of trustees of Howard at the special meeting in New York, last Monday? Dr. Flexner may be all-high and mighty but the Congressional committees who hold the purse strings of Howard's big appropriations are amenable to public opinion. The Secretary of the Interior, to whose charge Howard has been committed by the Federal government, is not callous to public opinion and press comment and the "Great I am," Dr. Flexner, will find out before he has finished his assignment as president of the board of trustees of Howard that "press comment," yes, even NEGRO press comment, has weight in the conduct of Howard University.

EDITORIAL FEATURES KELLY MILLER SAYS: race prejudice. Nothing but an inferior, low bred, hungry-for-power, ill-mannered white man has the time, desire, inclination or intention to humiliate, subjugate, segregate and demonstrate unjust thinking toward another human being because of the color of his skin. Mr. Holton, superintendent of the water works department, received the committee in a manner far different from his underling, Robinson. Blood will tell. We do not propose to let any ill-bred, prejudiced-ruled white man in minor official capacity segregate, jim crow and humiliate us without a strenuous protest. If it "bothers" a little pin-headed, narrow-hearted, prejudice-loving man like Robinson, as an official, we are sorry for him and shall endeavor to "bother" him very much until someone can see the righteousness of our protest and grant the relief sought. Major Brown, superintendent of the police department of Washington certainly made a deplorable showing of his men and his department in his treatment of, and attitude toward, the visitors here early this week labeled "Hunger Marchers." Those people came to Washington for the specific purpose of presenting a petition to their President and to their Congress. They were peaceful, unarmed citizens. Certainly they had the fundamental American right to come to Washington to present a petition to their government. No man, whether he be a police officer or not, has any right to treat peaceful citizens as Major Brown and many of his policemen treated those people. It is to Washington's everlasting shame that President Hoover drove the "Bonus Army" out of Washington by fire and force. It is also to Washington's shame that the visitors this week to our city were manhandled by our police force. The display of tear gas bombs, even machine guns, was a discredit to our law enforcement ability. It was a clear demonstration that our police force was frightened out of its wits by a few hundred peaceful, unarmed citizens seeking their fundamental right to petition their government. Where was the need for all this display of brute force? Washington sadly needs a man of sound reasoning, good judgement and a spark of humane treatment in him for police superintendent. Anyway, Lily-Whiteism Is Dead Dean Miller Thinks That Every Negro of Whatever Political Affiliation Will Gladly Add a Stone to the Heap on Its Grave. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. The late election swept the political circle clean, and left havoc in its wake. President Hoover's policies upon which he relied with so much assurance have been scrapped, except in so far as Governor Roosevelt may see fit to adopt and adapt them. The Grand Old Party has been put out of commission for at least a quadrennium, perhaps for a decade—it may be for a generation, and it may be forever. The Democratic party re-enforced by recalcitrant Republicans is nonplussed by its over-success. Old political foundations are being broken up. The new day calls for a new deal. Roosevelt has the opportunity of the age to succeed—or to fail. The Negro politician of the old G.O.P. type, like Othello, finds his occupation gone and himself slated to recruit the ranks of the unemployed. Will the new crop of Democratic leaders be an improvement over their Republican counterpart? or will they follow in the train of synephancy and greed? A little time will tell. THE RACE HAS GAINED ONE UNDISPUTED ADVANTAGE But whatever else happens the race has gained one undisputable advantage of indisputable value—the lily-white variety has been uprooted from the political flower garden. Lily-whiteism is anathema to every variety of Negro political opinion. It is equally repugnant to standpatter and progressive Republican or Democrat, regular or nonpartizan. If there is anything which the old line, died-in-the-wool Negro Republican hates worse than a Southern Democrat it is a Southern lily-white Republican. Several weeks before the election I stated that the defeat of Mr. Hoover was essential to the eradication of this adventitious growth on the Republican body politic. The good President had set his heart on his lily-white policy as one of his noble experiments. His objective had been all but accomplished. Every ambitious Negro leader in the South had been crushed or subordinated with the sole exception of Howard and Booze of Mississippi. Limitation of space forbids a catalogue of names. Ben Davis, of Georgia; Cohen, of Louisiana; and Levy, of South Carolina, head the list. Perry Howard constitutes the solitary outstanding stumbling block. After enduring the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune aimed at him by the head of the Republican party, the wonder is that he is still politically alive. PERRY HOWARD SAVED BY THE OLD GUARD The President did not desist in his attempt at destruction even as THE WASHINGTON TIBUNE. DECEMBER 1932 the Chicago convention. Howard was saved from utter annihilation, despite the avowed purpose of the President, by the Old Guard with whom he is personally popular, and who have never been enamored of Herbert Hoover. Only an overwhelming defeat could cause the President to desist from the prosecution of his purpose. Perry Howard is indeed a horseman who cannot be unhorsed. Now that the shattered fortunes of the Republican party must be reorganized, the Old Guard will seek to take charge of its rehabilitation. Either this or some more liberal and progressive element within the party will succeed to the leadership. Hoover and his policies—excellent as they were calculated to be — have been scrapped for good and all. His illy-white policy goes along with the rest. Let it be hoped that the Southland will not revert to its former status as a fruitful hunting ground for presidential delegates by candidates with a plethora of cash and poverty of conscience. COMPETITIVE PARTIES A DESIDERATUM Two competitive parties in the South, without reference to racial lines, is still a desideratum. But white Democratic primaries and strictly white Republican nominating conventions are twin political iniquities equally abominable in the sight of true statesmanship. The outcome of the election will undoubtedly bring about a better political approach between the races in the South as well as in the North. White Democratic primaries have already been struck a death blow by recent decisions of the Supremo Court. Negroes are being cautiously admitted to the right to vote in Southern states. The alarmers of "White supremacy" and "Negro domination" no longer alarm and arouse racial passion as they were once wont to do. Good sense and manly propitiation must be relied upon to secure the Negro his rights in the South. He may no longer expect to have them forced by outside compulsion. ROOSEVELT CAN PROMOTE A MODUS VIVENDI Much will depend upon the administration of Governor Roosevelt. His is the opportunity to do more to promote a modus vivendi between the races than all of his Republican predecessors since Grant. No other feature of his administration is of more importance or calls for a higher brand of statesmanship than this. He is in a position to lay propitiating hands upon the head of the North, the South and the Negro. Let it be hoped that the incoming President will not be so deeply engrossed with things concrete and material that he will not find time for things moral and human. For after all, material well being should not prevent righteousness and justice according to the American ideal. Mr. Hoover is about to retire to private life. All good Americans wish that joy may go with him and peace behind him. In envisaging his political career in retrospect, I ween, the part which he will least care to have remembered will be his illy-white Southern policy and his treatment of Perry Howard. We Are Victims of Propagandist Teachers We Can Hardly Believe That Africans First Domesticated Animals and Taught the Use of Iron. By CARTER G. WOODSON Editor of the Journal of Negro History "We took no part in the celebration of Negro History Week last year," said the principal of a Negro school. "We have so many weeks to observe that when we have given our attention to all of them we have no time left to add another featuring the Negro." In other words, there is no room in the school for the Negro. The Negro has time to learn about others, but he must not take the time to learn something about himself. "We desired to participate in the observance of Negro History Week," said another head of a Negro school, "but these white folks in this section are so peculiar that they might not like the idea of directing the attention of Negroes to things that might make them too haughty. "The races are getting along well here now, and it will never do to disturb these peaceful interracial relations." This is to say that when the Negro is cowed and is kept in a corner by his oppressor he is in an ideal state which should not be disturbed by Negro teachers. WILL HISTORY WEEK MAKE "GOOD" NEGROES "UNSAFE?" A white superintendent of schools of this point of view, on receiving Negro History Week Literature, called upon a "race leader" to give an opinion concerning Carter G. Woodson. This school man desired to know the antecedents of this promoter of a movement which is now stirring the Negro mind. Is this man Woodson safe? Can he be certified to as a good Negro who will teach his people to stay in their place? Evidently this race leader could not endorse the undersigned because the work of the association has never been warmly supported in that city. These timorous persons, however, have failed to keep abreast of the times. In watching the Negro to keep him in his place they have gone even farther than some of their co-workers consider necessary. Like the man who was told to stand erect, they have gone so far the other way that they are now bent backward. The large majority of the city superintendents of schools and the heads of the state departments of education, North and South, approve the celebration of Negro History Week and assist in distributing among their teachers the literature for this observance. Those who object to this and correlated movements are not considered representative of the best thought of either race in this country. In appreciation of Negro History Week, therefore, men of distinction have spoken in most flattering terms. H. W. Peet, a London newspaper man, carried with him to England a lasting impression of the Negro History Week exercises at Tuskegee Institute when he was visiting that institution three years ago. Writing about the work of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in England this summer, Mr. Peet mentioned this particular feature as impressive and significant in giving the Negro a new thought as to his status and in convincing a hostile public that the achievements of Negroes are not to be despised. WASHINGTON TEACHER PRAISES THE MOVEMENT Looking at Negro History Week at closer range, a teacher in the District of Columbia said: "I wish we could have something like this all the time. These exercises have improved my pupils one hundred per cent. Discipline has become an easy problem. Inspired by the noble examples of the race set before them, these boys and girls have become ambitious to make the most of themselves; and, being thus so seriously concerned, they have no time for the trifles which often draw so heavily upon the time of the youth." Professor Benjamin Brawley, of Howard University, looking at the celebration from the same point of view, most heartily approves the effort and annually participates by making as many addresses as possible at strategic points in the country. At this opportune moment when the Negro should be thinking seriously of himself, Professor Brawley believes that we should make a redoubled effort this year to make Negro History Week more significant than ever. Every city, county and state should be reached to secure a hearing for the romantic account of the Negro of today and yesterday. DR, WESLEY SAYS HISTORY ASSN'D DESERVES SUPPORT Dr. Charles H. Wesley, a distinguished historian of the race, repeatedly urges that we do something for the advancement of this work by calling upon the public to make a substantial donation to the Association for the Study of Ne- DIGESTING THE NEWS BY CLIFFORD C.

In this way the work may be enabled to go on with renewed vigor which increasing financial support will make possible. If we are to prevent the Negro from becoming a negligible factor in the thought of the world, we must give of our means that investigators and writers may set forth in scientific form what the race has thought and felt and attempted and accomplished. As we go forward with this celebration from year to year, then, we become more and more conscious of the wrong done the Negro race in reading it out of the pale of humanity and neglecting to teach the youth the important role played by the African before the days of slavery and segregation. At the same time that we see the evil wrought by such a propaganda attitude of our teachers of history, too, we can appreciate how effectively we can counteract these undesirable efforts by unstintedly supporting the organization which is constantly bringing the Negro into the picture with the other members of the human family. This celebration, then, is to be not so much a Negro History Week as a History Week. There is no such thing as Negro history or Jewish history or Chinese history in the sense of isolated contributions. The relations and interrelations of races, the close communication of peoples, and the widespread diffusion of ideas have made it necessary for one group so to depend upon the other that it is difficult to have any particular culture ear-marked. History, then, is a record of the progress of mankind rather than of racial or national achievement. For convenience we have labeled the record of the Negro as the history of this particular race because it has been omitted from the general histories. In this way we are trying to reincorporate it into the curricula. CIVILIZATION HAS SPRUNG FROM MANY SOURCES No particular race can claim credit for the present day civilization. The important contributions to civilization have come from various sources. We are such victims of propagandists masquerading as teachers that we can hardly believe that Africans first domesticated the sheep, the cow, and goat, gave the stimulus to Greek Art through Ethiopia and Egypt, and taught the world the most valuable of all gifts, the use of iron. Some people sometimes criticise Negroes for imitating them. If these critics would think of the daily uses they make of iron they would appreciate just how much they imitate Negroes. We seldom think of the fact that the ostracised Chinaman on our shores came from the land that gave the world such beoons as the mariner's compass, printing, and gunpowder. We would be all but shocked if we sat down and figured out how much we owe to the despised Oriental for our knowledge of architecture, philosophy, science, and mathematics. Most of our so-called intelligent people think of these things as discoveries recently worked out by the agents now exploiting the modern world. & Co., Garden City; Cokesbury Press, Nashville; the Viking Press; Smithsonian Institute, Washington; International Pocket Library, Boston; Frank D.

Week-End Mosaics CURING THE DOCTOR'S BILL Under the above alluring title, the following editorial appeared recently in the New York Herald Tribune. The article is passed on for what it is worth. Eminently sensible—so sensible that one wonders why it was not thought of and put into effect long, long ago—is the plan whereby doctors will collect their fees in installments, via a central agency. About a thousand dentists, physicians and surgeons in New York have become members of such an organization, the Mutual Professional Plan, Inc., to which we wish success. It is a two-way plan, offering relief to both parties involved on the following basis: The patient, before sitting in the dentist's chair or lying on the operating table, agrees upon the amount of the fee, signs a note and pays it off in monthly installments geared to his income, plus interest of 6 per cent, to the central agency, which in turn advances immediately to the physician one-half the total amount of the fee. Such a plan would cure—at any rate, alleviate—the peculiar and usually high irregular financial relations of patient and physician. Doctors do not like to be demanding, as theirs is a vital service which should always be given, when really necessary, regardless of reward. And the public is incredibly lax and mean where doctor's bills are concerned, putting them at the bottom of the monthly pile, delaying them, a good part of the time never paying them at all. It always seems harder to pay for repairs than for acquisitions, and patients—unless they are visibly the richer by a handsome set of gold teeth—dislike parting with money for a state of health which they feel should be theirs by natural right. It is to be hoped that the plan will succeed as it deserves and be extended until the most important service one man can perform for another is on a basis at least as secure and accepted as the ownership of a vacuum cleaner or an electric icebox. Tonight I beg of thee— Reposing wiser by the day's defeats; Acquainted with death's magic rivalry, Make me most thankful as each day completes. To please man's loftiest majesty; Whilst sweet eagerness with efforts abide. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL To One's Self By J. Reginald Beason. IN THE REALM OF BOOKS IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER Book for Discussion Sears Publishing Company (New York), asserts that in two weeks six women's clubs have selected "Death Rides the Dragon" for discussion at their next meetings. The Ladies' Literary Club, of Spring Valley, New York, writes: "The book has been selected by the committee because it seems to us an outstanding example of the blending of exotic color with smoothly flowing action and sustained interest." This novel by Eugene Thomas is an ideal book for club discussions, and will also prove satisfactory as a Christmas gift. Price $2.00. For the Juvenile From the house of Harper & Brothers come "Nancy," by Milfred Wasson, a story of a girl of the younger set. Although Nancy is in her 'teens, she shows her mother that she can shoulder responsibility, and displays unusual courage for a girl in her circumstances. It is an amusing and delightful tale full of exceeding good humor and has some sound philosophy in its pages. The story could be laid in any American town to any class or race of American people. "Respectfully Submitted" "Respectfully Submitted," by Harold G. Aron, an internationally recognized successful New York attorney (George Press, East River, Conn.), more than any volume on economics that I have yet received, described and analyzes our present day economic ailments. This book, undoubtedly, was written between November, 1931, and February, 1932, and in light of certain happenings during the year 1932, particularly the various propagandized panaceas that were so widely spread during the recent political campaign, makes the reader respect and give additional credence to the theories of Mr. Aron. It is not hard to believe, and become convinced, that "Respectfully Submitted" is one of those rare masterpieces that will grow more valuable as time passes. The book has to be read and re-read to be thoroughly appreciated. The thoughts are so analyzed and expressed that we wonder why our present-day economic evils persist in existing when there is such a simple solution for all of the ailments. Negroes will appreciate the book because the author specifically stresses a system of simple justice that does not recognize race, color, class or creed, and at the same time allows a proportionate reward, not in terms of general equality, but in terms of equal ability. Every reader who is interested in the readjusting of our present-day economic ailments, sufferings and inequalities should read "Respectfully Submitted." —Clifford C. Mitchell. Daly's New Novel Victor R. Daly, author of "Not Only War," announced this week that his new novel, "Shadows in the Valley," has been accepted for publication in the spring. Mr. Daly's first novel, "Not Only War," had a title that would intrigue you enough to arouse your curiosity or interest, but the selection of the name for this book is so common place, carrying no such curiosity appeal, that Mr. Daly will find the sale of this book far beneath that of his first book unless it is exceptionally worth while. A Late Book "Alone," by Eleanor Martin, to be published by William Godwin, Inc., December 27, promises to be one of the most interesting depression novels yet published. It is a poignant and human true story of the "white collar" woman, young and well educated, who has been led to believe that a job is her rightful heritage. Literary Contest The one hundred dollar award for the best short story or essay of 5,000 words or less offered by Opportunity Magazine will close at midnight on December 31, according to an announcement from the magazine's offices, 1133 Broadway, New York City, today.

O'Brien, editor of Anthology of the Short Stories; and Carl Ackerman, dean of the Pulitzer School of Journalism. The judges for the 1932 contest will be announced later.

Bath tubs, basins, sinks, etc. may be relieved of ugly spots by scraping same with a razor blade. Mix a small amount of soda to a larger amount of salt and use for cleanser in case of emergency. This will remove stains and circles. WAFFLES AND GRIDDLE CAKES COME INTO OWN Waffles for breakfast, luncheon or supper! It is true that the waffle started its career as a breakfast delicacy but today we find the waffle used in combination with other foods for luncheon or supper dishes or served hot from the iron with butter; maple syrup or honey. In mixing griddle cakes or waffles, a mixing bowl may be used, of course, but if one has a wide-mouthed pitcher with straight sides from which the batter may be poured the batter may be mixed directly in the pitcher. This saves the washing of an extra dish plus the convenience of having the batter in the pitcher so that it may be poured easily onto the hot griddle pans or waffle iron. The pitcher must have a large enough opening to take a good-sized egg heater. The hatter should be thin, and one can tell if it is thin enough when cooking the first griddle cake or waffle. If the griddle cake will hold its shape on the pan, enough flour has been used. White flour is usually used in the standard recipe of either griddle cakes or waffles but delicious waffles and griddle cakes can be made by using buckwheat, graham or whole wheat flour. Sour milk makes very tender cakes, and when using milk, soda is used. In making griddle cakes and waffles the shortening is melted and added last. It is well not to skimp with the amount of shortening used because the shortening adds flavor to the waffle and helps to prevent the griddle cake or waffle from sticking to the pan or waffle iron. Standard Waffle Recipe 2 cups flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 14 teaspoon salt 1 1/4 cups sweet milk 4 tablespoons melted shortening. Enough more milk should be used to make batter the right consistency. Mix and sift dry ingredients. Beat egg yolks until lemon colored and add with milk to dry ingredients. Add melted shortening. Beat egg whites stiff and fold into batter. **Spice Waffles** 6 tablespoons shortening 1 cup brown sugar 1 egg 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt Cream shortening and sugar, add beaten egg. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and spices together and add alternately with the milk to the first mixture. Drop by spoonful on each section of the waffle iron and bake three minutes. 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda Put molasses and butter in saucepan and heat to boiling point. Removes from heat and beat in the soda. Add sour milk, well beaten eg, and the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, ginger and salt which have been sifted together three times. Cook on waffle iron egg, and the dry ingredients, flour, sweetened and flavored to taste. Cheese Waffles Use regular waffle mixture, add $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup grated cheese. Waffles with Bacon Use regular waffle mixture. Put two slices of hacon on lower grid, and cook one minute. Pour in butter as usual. 36 Griddle Cakes $ 2 \frac{1}{4} $ cups flour 4 teaspoons haking powder $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoon salt 2 cups milk 1 egg, beaten 1 tablespoon melted butter 1 tablespoon sugar Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add milk slowly, then beaten egg and beat about a minute, until smooth. Add the melted shortening and beat another minute, then cook on a hot griddle. If you like, substitute brown sugar for the white, or use syrup instead of sugar. Any griddle cake batter may be cooked in a waffle iron, extra oil being used to insure brown. Cereal Griddle Cakes 1 cup flour 1 cup cold cooked cereal 1½ cups sour milk ¾ teaspoons soda 1 egg, beaten Make like griddle cakes in standard recipe above. The best way to lose weight is to cut down on your food. You can lose weight safely and quickly merely by eating less food—but in cases of extreme overweight, it is wise to consult a doctor before undertaking any treatment at all. The flavor of grits can be improved by beating lightly while cooking. This also produces smoothness. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 9, 1932 Pure Fo Onion Soup Tops Menu Prepared for This Week By Gertrude C. Frazier Onion Soup Lamb Chops a la Maintenon Asparagus Butter Sauce Moulded Carrot Salad Spiced Baked Apples Whipped Cream This onion soup is taken from an old French recipe and is a full luncheon or supper in itself, if a generous portion is served and a cooked egg is added, as is often done. That is something I must tell you about, as it is not included in the recipe. The soup itself is most simple; just a plain meat stock. Usually, beef is used, and if one does not have any beef on hand, the soup can be easily made from boulon cubes or from a meat paste. To the meat stock add one pound of onions which have been cooked to a delicate brown in the fat; cook onions in stock until tender. Into each serving of soup, place a slice of dry toast and sprinkle with grated cheese (Parmesan). If one desires, the egg can be dropped whole into the soup as if for poaching, and allowed to cook slowly with the onions until done. The egg will be hard cooked. The addition of the egg, of course, adds nutriment to the soup and should not be included unless soup is to be used as the luncheon or supper dish. Allow one egg for each person, placing it in soup dish under the slice of toast. I have seen this soup served in casseroles, after having been baked in the oven the last thirty minutes instead of being cooked on top of the stove. If this method is used, set oven heat regulator at 350 degrees and cook for thirty minutes. 3 tablespoons shortening Toast or French bread Grated Parmesian cheese Peel and slice onions. Cook in hot shortening until brown, add stock and cook very slowly for thirty minutes, or until onions are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve in deep soup bowls with a slice of toast or hard French bread. Sprinkle grated cheese on top. Serve extra cheese if desired. A generous portion makes a hearty luncheon or supper in itself. Lamb Chops a la Maintenon 6 lamb chops 1 inch thick 1 tablespoon minced parsley ½ teaspoon salt f. g. paprika 2 tablespoons minced onion Method for Forcemeat Put the veal through the meat chopper twice, using the fine knife. Melt the butter, cook onions and parsley in butter for five minutes, but do not brown; add flour, stir well; add milk and cook until mixture thickens. Add seasonings and chopped real. Method for Chops Sear chops on both sides in hot frying pan. Spread each with the forcemeat and pile over it hot mashed potato, place in shallow baking dish or back into skillet, pour in the gravity made by thick- ening the juices in the pan; set oven heat control at 350 degrees and bake for thirty minutes. Add two cups of water to juices in pan. Thicken with three table- spoons of flour mixed to a paste with cold water. Cook until gravity thickens, add salt and pepper to season. Spiced Baked Apples $ \frac{1}{4} $ pound cinnamon candies 4 slices lemon Pare and core apples. Place in a baking dish. Pour over them a syrup made by boiling the sugar, water, candies and sliced lemon together until candies are melted. Set oven heat control at 340 degrees preheat for ten minutes and bake apples until tender, being careful not to cook too much so that they will lose their shape. Baste occasionally or turn apples to get a nice rosy color. Serve with whipped cream. There is not any scientific rule to determine how much a person should eat. The proper amount of food varies so widely for different people because of different individual characteristics and circumstances that there is no general rule laid down. If you are uncertain about whether you are eating food that is proper for you the only thing to do is to talk it over with your doctor and let him study your own special case. A pinch of salt added to candied sweet potatoes will improve the flavor. If the flexible part of the hauls of shoes is pressed inward each time before putting on and likewise after removing them from the feet, they will hold the original shape longer. Onion Soup 1/4 cup milk Method for Chops Method for Gravy 6 firm tart apples 1 cup sugar 2 1/2 cups water Put this Away Until Christmas Week If you are looking for an extremely decorative, easily handled holiday cookie, here is one whose attractiveness demands attention. You will have a fine, yellow cookie dough, made nutritious by concentrated evaporated milk. When the dough is thoroughly chilled, anyone can handle it in a pastry tube. The angelica used on top of the cookies is readily obtainable. It is a kind of crystallized decoration, somewhat after the manner of citron in texture. It is fun to use, if you have not made its acquaintance before. 1 cup sugar 1 egg 2 tablespoons evaporated milk ¼ teaspoon salt Have pans and oven ready so that cookies can be baked immediately after mixing. Cream butter and sugar until sugar granules are dissolved. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Sift flour, then measure. Resift with soda, baking powder and salt. Stir into first mixture. Chill dough and press through a pastry tube, in the shape of a holly wreath, onto greased baking sheet. Decorate tops of wreaths with bits of angelica and candied cherries. Bake in a hot oven (400° F.) 10 minutes. Yield: 4 dozen cookies. This is a cookie most of your friends have never made. Even fancy bakeries hardly ever have them. You are certain to enjoy many appreciative remarks from your family and friends. Modern youth respects old age only when it comes in bottles. 963 958 963 PATTERN No. 963.—The soft cealing any excess avoidpoys abo seams do wonders in slenderizing to give that smart fitted look wh women.

Self-rising Flour is Big Aid to Modern Cooks Modern industry has come to our aid with numerous mechanical devices to lighten the burden of manual labor and has also produced and marketed old foods in new ways so that we may more easily serve adequate foods to our families. Nutritionists speak of balanced diets, protective foods, vitamins, and minerals, terms once only for the use of the scientifically minded. Now they have become familiar friends to all of us. Where our grandmothers administere molasses and sulphur as a spring tonic, we serve vegetables and fruits all year round and watch to see that the proper minerals and vitamins are included every day. When our grandmothers were granddaughters, paleness and peplessness were laid to growing or to family tendencies. Today we know better and feel that we are at fault if teeth are poor and small bones are weak. Among the most important minerals for bone building are calcium and phosphorus. We are constantly on the alert to see that proper amounts of these are included in the foods of the everyday menu. One of the easiest ways to help take care of this is to use one of the most modern foodstuffs—self-rising flour. Self-rising flour carries not only the nutritious natural protein and starch of the wheat, but in addition it has mono-calcium phosphate which has been added together with salt and sodium bi-carbonate. Thus it is pre-leavened at the mill and is ready for use in your modern baking. No more bother with measuring and sifting flour, baking powder and salt. Biscuit made by the following method are truly modern and delicious: Plain Biscuit Milk (fresh or buttermilk if you prefer it) Sift flour once before you measure it. Then cut in the flour with a "dough blender" or a table fork Add the milk to make a soft dough Turn out on a floured surface. Pat out to about one-half-inch thickness.

MURDERER FLEES AFTER SLAYING WITH BED POST MURDERER FLEES AFTER SLAYING WITH BED POST Arthur Green Responsible for Joseph Palmer's Death, Jury Finds Police are combing the city and nearby places for Arthur Green, 30, alleged resident of 1245 Seventh Street, Northwest, who a coroner's jury at the District Morgue yesterday (Thursday) held responsible for the murder of Joseph Palmer, 40, 25 Congress Court, Northwest. Palmer was fatally wounded when struck over the head with a bed post and cut on the lower lip during an altercation at the Congress. Court. address. Saturday night. The man was found by police lying in the alley in the rear of the house bleeding profusely. An Emergency Hospital ambulance physician pronounced him dead on arrival at the scene. Death was caused by a fractured skull and resulting hemorrhage and shock. Witnesses testified that Palmer and Green had argued early Saturday morning over an alleged false message carried by Green to Palmer's common-law wife. The two men were said to have drawn knives on each other at this time, but later patched things up and shook hands. Later that night, James Penson, alias "Montana Slim," of 25 Congress Court, told the jury that Palmer returned to the house, and interrupted a card game by starting a second argument with Green. On this occasion, Palmer is said to have drawn a knife on Green and forced him out of the back door. As Green reached the end of the yard, witnesses said, he picked up an old bed post which was lying in the yard, and struck Palmer over the head. Green then fled down the alley and has not been located since. When police arrived on the scene Palmer was found with a penknife still clutched in his hand. ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Funeral services for Jesse Burrell, local resident who died in Allenwood, N.J., several weeks ago, were held privately, Friday, from the W. C. Arnold Funeral Parlor with the Rev. James E. Green officiating. Burial was in the Odd Fellows Cemetery at Arlington. Surviving Mr. Burrell are his widow, Mrs. Burdine Burrell; two children, Julia and Katherin; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Burrell; a grandmother, Mrs. Laura Cox; one sister, Mrs. Nellie B. Jackson; and a brother, Thomas Burrell. MOTHER OF FOUR REFUSED TO QUIT SELLING WHISKEY Samuel J. Knights Says at One Time Wife Threw Liquor on Him Because of her continued boot-legging activities for which she is now serving a 30-day sentence, Samuel J. Knights, 601 U Street, Northeast, a clerk in the Navy Department, filed a petition for a limited divorce from his wife, Mrs. Sarah P. Knights, 24½ Q Street, Northwest. Knights also seeks the custody of his three minor children. According to the petition filed by Mr. Knights the couple was married November 18, 1906, by the Rev. Lawrence Spieger and have four children, one a grown married daughter. He states that his family life was happy until 1928, when his wife engaged in the sale of liquor and conducted her business at their home. He says she continued boot-legging over his protest, and on March 31, 1930, their home was raided and liquor found on the premises. Wife Arrested The petition says that at that time Mrs. Knights was arrested and fined $100. The fine and counsel fees cost him $250, he alleges. As a result of the raid, the landlord made them move, so they took up residence at 204 R Street, where his wife continued her unlawful acts. In August, 1932, this place of residence was raided, liquor was found, and his wife was sentenced to jail, where she is now serving a sentence. Knights states in his petition that he used every means to prevent his wife from engaging in her activities, and at one time when he remonstrated with her she is alleged to have thrown a glass of whiskey in his face, pushed him out of doors and locked him out. He said he was forced to remain out all night and was not admitted until 10 the next morning, despite the fact that he was due on his job at 8:30. Life Threatened The husband declares that he is in constant fear of losing his position and of being raided by dry officers. He says he is in position to provide a home for his family, but his wife's refusal to stop selling liquor and her continued activities among certain of her friends make the home an unfit place for the minor children. He said at one time his wife threatened to get him out of the way "if she had to pay some one to do the job." Knights asks the court for a limited divorce and permanent custody of the three small children. Attorney I, Lisenby represents Knights. _____ o_____ Robbers Get Gold Watch, Bracelet Diamond Rings Police of the Second precinct early this week were searching for a tall, light brown skin woman who is reported to have robbed Mrs. Alice Hale, 440 P Street, Northwest, Friday evening of a gold watch, bracelet and diamond ear rings valued at $1000. Fifteen dollars in cash were also taken. At the time of the robbery the woman was allegedly accompanied by a man whom Mrs. Hale couldn't describe.

Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., DECEMBER 9, 1932 Freedmen's Hospital Surgeon Makes Christmas Seal Appeal Freedmen's Hospital Surgeon Makes Christmas Seal Appeal COLUMBIA LODGE BETTER CITIZENS RE-ELECTS EPPS COUNCIL ADOPTS DR. T. EDWARD JONES BROADCASTS OVER STATION WOL Making an appeal for the sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals, Dr. T. Edward Jones, assistant surgeon in chief of Freedmen's Hospital, delivered an address over Station WOL Saturday morning at 11:45. Dr. Jones said among other things: "In the United States in the year 1931, approximately 67 out of every 100,000 persons died from tuberculosis—known also as consumption. In the District of Columbia 120 persons out of every 100,000 died from this dreaded disease. "Considering these deaths in the District of Columbia from a racial standpoint, we find that for the white race 60 out of every 100,000 died from this malady while 262 colored persons out of every 100,000 succumbed to its ravages. In other words there was a total of 500 deaths—237 whites, 353 colored. It is interesting and encouraging, however, to note that the colored death rate decreased one per cent. Funds From Seals "You cannot arrest and control tuberculosis on a family budget inadequate for the simplest requirements of food, clothing, housing, and the necessities of life, no matter how much you spend on medical diagnosis, medical nursing supervision, and medical treatment, or sanitarium and hospital care. "The National Tuberculosis Association has for its purpose, the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this disease. This organization depends upon the funds derived from the sale of Christmas seals for its support. The value of its work surpasses adequate estimation. "A gigantic network of health protection, which includes medical treatment for the sick, preventive measures for those in immediate danger of disease attack, and that also safeguards the well, has been brought into existence largely through the power of a penny sticker. "The American public voluntarily contributed about $5,000,000 in 1925 to keep the scourge, from its doors through the sale of a the now universally known Christmas Seal. "Hospitals, sanatoria, clinics, open air schools, preventoria, as well as a program of public health education, are able to carry on from year to year by means of billions of little stamps that decorate letters, boxes and bundles at holiday time. History of Seal "The story of the Christmas seal is the story of a dream come true. And the name of the man who conceived it deserves to be recorded among the great humanitarians of our age. "It was in 1908 that Einar Hoelbell, then an obscure postal clerk in Denmark, hit upon the idea of selling Christmas stamps to re- The election of officers of Columbia Lodge of Elks took place Monday night at the Masonic Temple. Herbert E. Jones, district deputy and past exalted ruler of the lodge, presided over the election. Captain Sylvester H. Epps, present exalted ruler, and his entire cabinet was re-elected.

EDWARD JONES, surgeon in chief at Freedmen's Hospital, who made an appeal for the sale of Christmas seals for the benefit of the National Tuberculosis Association over Station WOL. leave the suffering of tuberculosis patients. Copenhagen needed a hospital for tuberculous children; and Hoelbelt was daily canceling thousand of postage stamps on holiday greeting cards. "Why, so he reasoned, should not this flood of mail sent out in the spirit of "Peace of earth, good will to men" do a triple service? Every missive bore a postage stamp of tribute to the government, and merry wishes to friends for the holidays—could it not also carry a much needed Christmas gift to the sick? "He enlisted the co-operation of the Danish royal family and of influential officials, out of which came in 1904, the first nation-wide tuberculosis Christmas seal sale. The response to the appeal was overwhelming, in fact, so successful was the undertaking that other European countries speedily adopted the idea and within a few years Christmas seal sales became an established custom on the continent. "Miss Emily Bissell, of Delaware, thought of applying the Christmas seal idea in the United States. Her own particular problem at the time was to raise funds for a small tuberculosis sanatorium in Delaware. "In the sale of the penny stickers she saw the solution of her difficulty. So, in spite of discouragement, she undertook to organize and conduct the first tuberculosis seal sale ever held in this country. Her receipts from this venture reached what was then an amazing total; namely, three thousand dollars. "Christmas seals have done much more than to raise dollars for the relief of active cases of tuberculosis, worth while as this function is. More powerful has been the stimulus to establish new organizations dedicated to educational and preventive work which, it is hoped, will ultimately eradicate the white plague entirely." BETTER CITIZENS' COUNCIL ADOPTS CONSTITUTION Body to Act as Lobby at Congressional Hearings Permanent Officers to be Chosen at Next Regular Meeting The permanent election of officers will be the order of the day at the meeting of the Better Citizens' National Council to be held Wednesday at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church.

Jernagin, expressed the hope early this week that the organization may be completed at once in order that the council immediately undertake its problem of representing the Negro before the Congressional committees. The council was the only Negro group represented at the rent hearing held before the Senate District Committee during the summer months and it is the aim of the body to continue to safe-guard and guarantee the rights of Negroes in the problems of federal legislation.

NEEDY CHILDREN TO BE CARED FOR BY FEDERATION NEEDY CHILDREN TO BE CARED FOR BY FEDERATION Parent-Teacher Groups to Feed and Cloth Pupils in Schools Plans to aid needy children in the public schools of the District were outlined at the monthly meeting of the Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations which was held Thursday at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. A recent survey revealed that there are many children attending the schools without proper clothing and undernourished. The Federation passed a resolution to have each Parent-Teacher Association to appoint a representative to the Students' Aid Committee. This latter committee will co-operate with a like committee from civic associations for the purpose of aiding needy children. Funds are to be raised through public contribution. To Care for Needy Children Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, urged each parent-teacher group to have a committee appointed to care for the needs of its respective community. The federation adopted a new constitution which provided for a more extensive program for local associations. One of the provisions provided that assistant superintendents of colored schools, retired principals and teachers be ex-officio members of the federation. Officers elected for the year were the Rev. George A. Parker, president; J. C. Payne, first vice-president; Miss Edith A. Lyons, principal of Morgan School, second vice-president; B. T. Montgomery, treasurer; J. C. Wells, financial secretary; the Rev. J. D. Pair, chaplain; Miss Susie R. Quander, historian. Miss Ida Taylor, who was named juvenile court worker by the executive committee, was elected secretary of the committee on juvenile delinquency.

The new constitution provided for an executive secretary, which position was filled temporarily by Mrs. L. E. Crouse. Garnet-Patterson Junior High Preparing for Annual Christmas Rally The students of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School are preparing their third annual Christmas rally. This annual event consists of contributions of toys, clothing and non-perishable foods which are brought in by the students and teachers. The Art Department arranges the gifts on the stage where they may be viewed by the school and by parents at the noon recess on Wednesday, December 21. These materials are used to relieve cases of distress within the school and the remainder is divided among such outstanding charity organizations as the Associated Charities, Salvation Army, Southeast Community House, Harriet Tubman Home for the Blind, etc. In the past, hundreds of containers of food, large numbers of toys, hundreds of pieces of clothing have been donated. It is not known what success the rally will achieve this year because of economic conditions; nevertheless, the attempt is being made to repeat what has become one of the institutions of this school. Members of the public who may may be interested in viewing the display are invited to enter the auditorium of the school at Vermont Avenue and V Street, between 12:10 and 12:40 on the day above named.

THEATERS SPORTS THREE-CENT FARE SAVES D.C.PARENTS $163,000 YEARLY THREE-CENT FARE SAVES D.C.PARENTS $163,000 YEARLY Father of Reduced Rate for School Children Quotes Figures The three-cent car fare for school children saves District parents $163,664 annually, it was revealed early this week in a letter written by J. C. Wright, "Father of the Three-Cent Car Fare," of 514 T Street, Northwest. Copies of the letter conveying the information were sent to Senator Arthur Capper, chairman of the District Committee of the Senate; President Hayden Johnson, of the board of education; Frank Ballou, superintendent of schools; and Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools. Mr. Wright stated that the reduced rates for school children is being halled everywhere as a city-wide economic blessing in these unprecedented times of unemployment and depression. Meanwhile, the case of the car companies who are seeking to have the Public Utilities Commissioner's order rescinded was still pending in the District: Supreme Court. Mr. Wright's letter says: "According to a brief recently filed in the District Supreme Court by the people's counsel and special counsel for the Public Utilities Commission, the street railways and buses operating within the District of Columbia sold 3,607,358 three-cent school fares in transporting school children to and from school during the year ending September 30, 1932, for which their struggling parents paid $107,920. "For the year cited the Capital Traction Company sold 1,153,648 school fares; the Washington Railway and Electric Company sold 2,372,346 school fares; and the Washington Rapid Transit Company sold 71,364 school fares. Under the regular street car token fare and the 10-cent bus fare, it would have cost $271,585 for the school children involved to ride to and from school. "The three-cent school fare enabled parents to save $163,664 during the year aforesaid; increased street car and bus patronage by school children 25 per cent; and reduced the profits of the Capital Traction Company only $1/2 of 1 per cent, the Washington Railway and Electric Company and the Washington Rapid Transit Company about $1/2 of 1 per cent, irrespective of other gains or losses as set forth in the brief herein mentioned." "Indeed three-cent car fare for Washington school children is hailed everywhere as a city-wide economic blessing in these unprecedented times of unemployment and depression. "On behalf of parents and school children of Washington I thank you for your kind interest." Duncan and Allen in Lecture-Recital The Literature Lovers presented R. Todd Duncan, assisted by William Allen, in a lecture-recital, Sunday, at the Y.W.C.A. The program of the music of Johannes Brahms, rendered by Mr. Duncan was an unusual treat. He opened the program by telling the audience something about the life and music of the composer, whose anniversary of his 100th birthday is being celebrated throughout the wo'd this year. He proclaimed Brahms as essentially a song writer having set the poems of seventy-five individual poets to music in over two hundred songs. Mr. Duncan's excellent interpretation of five Brahms songs, which included "Du bist meine Kornigin," "Mein Liebst ist Blume," and the well known cradle song, was a tribute to the great musician. William D. Allen, who accompanied Mr. Duncan, played the Brahms Rhapsody in D Minor, which emphasized the intellectual treatment of the rhapsody in contradistinction to that of Franz Liszt's impulsive treatment.
