7 CENTS PER COPY "Buy Where You Can Work" Campaign Launched Against Northwest Grocery Stores Seeks to Place Negroes as Clerks Where Most Patronage Is Colored STORES THAT REFUSE TO COME UNDER BAN Official Claims Southern Whites Won't Work With Negroes A "Buy Where You Can Work" campaign was launched by members of the Pleasant Plains Civic Association following a meeting of that body Friday night at Bruce School, Sherman Avenue and Kenyon Street, Northwest. The association discussed at length its movement to have colored clerks placed in stores where the patronage is predominately colored. A delegation which called on officials of chain stores last week received little encouragement when they were told that Negroes did not fit in stores where Southern white men were employed. Truck Drivers and Cleaners Only The delegation was told that Negro labor in their organization was confined to truck drivers and cleaners in the company's warehouse. An official of one chain of stores stated that most of their clerks and managers came from Virginia and the South and Southern white men did not care to work with Negroes. The official is alleged to have said that Negroes would not make good as managers, and also that the employment of Negroes as clerks and managers would upset their present scheme of organization and would necessitate the removal of some of the present managers. He said that patrons protested when managers were removed and new ones substituted. To Give Cause for Removal The official admitted that for sufficient cause a manager was removed. The spokesman for the delegation, A. S. Pinkett, local secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said "a sufficient cause would be given for the removal of managers where from 90 to 100 per cent of the patronage is colored." Members in the delegation, besides Mr. Pinkett, included Mrs. Janie C Bradford, chairman; J. A. Sutton, James W. Williams, and M. Anderson. Residents in the neighborhood are being instructed to spend their money where they can get employment and are asked to refuse to patronize stores where colored people are denied employment. It was suggested by members of the association that pickets might be employed to advantage on Saturdays to inform the public of the unfairness of the stores in Pleasant Plains district which may be 'put under the ban. Funeral Rites Held for Mrs. Constantia Smith Funeral services for Mrs. Constantia T. Smith were held Monday afternoon at her late residence, 929 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett officiating. Interment was in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. She died Friday after a brief illness. Formerly of Troy, Pa., Mrs. Smith with her husband, James B. Smith, had for the past several years lived in this city at 1919 Second Street, until recently when they came to make their home with their daughter, Mrs. H. C. Scurlock, of the former address. Mrs. Smith was born in Albany, N.Y., in 1852, and was married to James B. Smith in Annapolis, Md., in 1880. She is survived by her husband, her daughter, Mrs. H. C. Scurlock of this city, and her son, Dr. J. V. Smith, of Philadelphia, Pa. Industrial Arts to be Added at Garfield School "The Teaching of Industrial Arts in the Elementary Schools," was the topic discussed by the principal, Miss E. P. Simmons, at the educational meeting of the faculty of the Garfield School, Wednesday. An industrial arts program is to be introduced in the school curriculum in February. Each teacher was presented with a manual for study of the subject. Washington Tribune Called Illegal Ousting of President of Catholic Federation Scored Here The break in the ranks of the organization came about at its annual convention in New York last September when Dr. Turner opposed a change in the name of the federation from the Federation of Colored Catholics to the National Catholic Federation for the Promotion of Better Race Relations. Opposed Domination by Priests The latter name was adopted at the September meeting over the objections of Dr. Turner. Dr. Turner was charged before the executive committee with having accepted re-election to the presidency of the federation while knowing that it was committed to an interracial policy but later caused newspaper articles to be published deprecating the idea and attacking the influence of priests in the affairs of the organization. The new name was adopted to the support and help of the clergy and it was held that by being so amended it would include the broader purpose and be in accord with the title of the Catholic Chronicle, a magazine which I became the official organ of the federation about three years ago, which subsequently had its name changed to the Interracial Review. Members present a the executive committee meeting were Laadi James, St. Louis; Elmore Anderson. New York; Miss Seals, Columbus; Margaret Gope, Miss Aline Vernon and R. A. Skinner of Chicago; A. Whitlock, St. Louis; G. Prater, Washington, D.C.; and C. B. Conrad, of Cincinnati. The committee adopted a resolution declaring the office of president to be vacant and then voted Dr. Conrad to head the body. Dr. Turner One of Founders Dr. Turner, who was at one time on the faculty of Howard University, at present a professor of biology at Hampton Institute, was one of the leaders in the founding of the federation several years ago, and has up to the present been its head. He has gained wide publicity because of his uncompromising stand for equality in the various educational institutions of the American Catholic Church. He has also insisted on the education of colored aspirants for the priesthood. He is prominent in scientific circles, being a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and is a frequent contributor to scientific publications. The suspension of Dr. Thomas W. Turner as president of the National Colored Catholic Federation at Chicago on Sunday was called illegal by a high Catholic officer in Washington this week, who did not care to have his name published. Dr. Turner was ousted following a meeting of the executive committee of the federation at Chicago last Sunday. The meeting was called by George W. B. Conrad, of Cincinnati, first vice-president. Those present voted to suspend the president. The action of the meeting was called illegal due to the fact that there was not a quorum present. Two-thirds of the membership of 25 is required to be present to vote on a piece of legislation. Only 11 were present at the Chicago meeting, it was said. Workers Meet to Discuss Community Chest Campaign Plans for an all-year-round program were discussed and a review of the past campaign was made at a meeting of workers of the recently closed drive of the Community Chest held at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Kelly Miller. Dean Miller announced that drive captains would hold periodical meetings with chest workers throughout the year preparatory to the 1833 campaign. Those present at the meeting besides Prof. and Mrs. Miller were: Mrs. Myra C. Callis, George W. Beasley, Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferrebee, Dr. Sadie Murphy, Charles H. Fearing, Mrs. Etta V. Frye, Major Campbell C. Johnson, Rayford W. Logan, the Rev George A. Parker, Mrs. Marian Butler, the Rev R. W. Brooks, and George P. Murrey. HOW TO END THE DEPRESSION IN SEVEN DAYS HOW TO END THE DEPRESSION IN SEVEN DAYS Elder Michaux Delivers Radio Sermons Giving His Plan This Week Elder Lightfoot Michaux, pastor of the Church of God on Georgia Avenue, began a seven-day series of sermons, Sunday, over WJSV, on "How to End the Depression in Seven Days." His sermons last Sunday and Monday dealt with Matthew 6:12—"Forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors." He stated that the first step in ending depression is for everyone to cancel all the debts that he can not pay. And he states that this does not apply to foreign countries but to the United States alone. Elder Michaux stated that there is not enough money in the world to pay off all the debts owed in this country, and we would be better off to wipe the slate clean and start all over. Tuesday, the pastor read Matt. 25:11 to 30, and said that God was against hoarding and the second step is for all hoarders to take their money from the various hiding places and put it back into banks so it could be put into circulation. Wednesday, Elder Micheaux gave his plan of putting everyone to work. He read from Matt. 20:1 to 7. He said that God took six days to make the world and intended that every man should work six days a week. With millions of acres of land idle and millions of dollars worth of machinery idle, every man in this country could be put to work making the various things needed by the hungry and needy. Thursday, the pastor said that the government should do away with money as a medium of exchange. "Kill old man dollar," said the speaker, "for we place too much stress on its value." Then he quoted, "The love of money is the root of all evil." He read 1 Tim. 6:5 to 10. Friday, the pastor gave his plan for a daily labor card to be issue as a medium of exchange instead of money. This card would show the man had worked and it would be good at the grocery, the meat market, the clothing store, or gas station. By this system men could be put to work and their needs supplied. Sunday at 8 a.m., Elder Michaels will complete his series on "How to End the Depression in Seven Days," over WJSV. He says that the number seven is God's perfect number; that God worked six days and rested the seventh. Therefore, he has hit upon his seven-day plan to end depression. Funeral of Mrs. Waddell Held Thursday The private funeral of Mrs. Sytirah P. Waddell was held on Thursday afternoon at the funeral parlors of the McGuire Undertaking establishment, with the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, officiating. It was Mrs. Waddell's request that a private funeral be held over her remains. Interment took place in the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. Mrs. Waddell was born in Grenbsro, N.C., in 1861. She was 71 years old. She came to Washington about 35 years ago and was employed in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for 23 years. Mrs. Waddell had been ill for the past three years, and died Tuesday. She is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Hortensia B. Turner, and a son, Frank T. Waddell; two granddaughters, Vernelli and Vallerie Turner, and a great granddaughter, Hortensia White. Pleased with Diamond Ring Miss Helen Eagles, 1320 S Street, Northwest, is pleased with the beautiful diamond ring that she won in the recent Lichtman Theatres-Washington Tribune Popularity Contest. The ring was presented to Miss Eagles by Chas Schwartz and Son, 708 Seventh Street, Northwest, an old reliable firm of jewelers, noted for "perfect diamonds." POLICE BEGIN COLLECTIONS FOR 13TH ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR THE POOR BONUS MARCHER REFUSES HAND OF VICE-PRESIDENT Veterans Present Petition Protesting Against Race Segregation Willie Washington, colored world war veteran, a member of a committee of five which presented a petition to Vice-President Curtis, Wednesday, angered Mr. Curtis when the bonus marcher refused to shake the extended hand of the vice-president. Mr. Curtis grew red in the face at the rebuff and retaliated by saying, "Well, don't shake hands if you don't want to." The petition was read by Samuel Stember, white, representative of the Rank and File Veterans, of New York. Others in the delegation were Goerge D. Brady, of national headquarters, Brooklyn N.Y.; M. Elliott, Cleveland, and A. F. Blanchard, Chicago, the latter colored. Ford in Delegation In the delegation which called on Speaker Garner was James W. Ford. Communist vice-presidential candidate; Harold Hickerson, New York; E. J. Williams, New Jersey; Mike Johnson, New York, colored, and John E. Crowley, Portland, Oregon. The delegation was well received by Speaker Garner, Mr. Hickerson, who is white, was introduced by Ford. One of the committee which visited Vice-President Curtis, said that Mr. Curtis objected to a paragraph in the petition which stated that Congress should pass a resolution condemning Herbert Hoover and those responsible for the use of troops last July against the veterans who were here. He demanded that this paragraph be stricken out or he would refuse to present the petition to Congress. After a hasty conference the delegation agreed to have the part referring to the President struck out from the petition. This petition is presented by a committee elected by the rank and file veterans assembled at the Typographical Union Hall, Washington, D.C., Tuesday, December 13, as a result of Conference of veterans held in Cleveland, September 23-26, representing over 18,000 veterans from 52 different cities. "Other groups represented at the meeting were the National Headquarters of the B.E.F., Khaki Shirts of New Jersey, Bonus Army of Chicago, members of the American Legion, Disabled American veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and other independent groups. Veterans Attacked "Since the last session of Congress, when 30,000 veterans were attacked for making demands for the immediate cash payment of the bonus, conditions in the United States have steadily grown worse. Unemployment has increased. The burden of the crisis is being placed upon the impoverished masses of (Continued or Page 3) For 12 years the policemen of this city have been "Santa Claus" to the desolate and the poor on their various beats. For 12 years the police annually have collected food, clothing, toys, candy—and distributed them to those in the city who need it most. Their work has become a tradition in Washington. This year it was almost abandoned because of the presence of the hunger marchers in town. But now the marchers have gone, and the police are turning once again to their happier job of philanthropy. A Late Start They are late getting started this year—almost two weeks later than usual. Which means they will have to hurry. The Washington Tribune has pledged itself to help them. So have the Dunbar, Howard, Lincoln and Ranahel theatres. Newspapers and theatres down town are co-operating. In each of the theatres Christmas trees have been placed. At the base of these trees, the police ask that people deposit gifts. No gift is too small or too simple. Almost anything is welcome and appropriate — toys, candy, fruits, clothing. Less than two weeks are left. These trees must be well stacked with packages by the evening of [Name] The Rev. W. O. CARRINGTON, pastor of the John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, Washington, who was prize winner in a sermon contest among 690 contestants $25,000 DAMAGE SUIT DISMISSED $25,000 DAMAGE SUIT DISMISSED A suit for $25,000 damages on a false arrest charge was dismissed in circuit court No. 1, of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, Tuesday, for lack of evidence. The case was heard before Justice Jesse Adkins. Mrs. Mary Watkins, of 30 F Street, Northwest, a maid in the home of Demas and Sophie Diavatis, 14 F Street, Northwest, Greek restaurant owners, was arrested on October 5, 1930, and charged with stealing a ring valued at $400 from her employer. Mrs. Watkins was indicted by the grand jury. Several days later the ring was found in the trousers pocket of a son of the Diavatis when the boy's pants were returned from a laundry. Mrs. Watkins was released, and brought a damage suit against her employers. Police officers who took the maid into custody assumed the blame for the arrest after they had been informed that Mrs. Watkins was in the Diavatis home when the ring was missed. Mrs. Watkins was held at the House of Detention three days following her arrest, her finger prints were taken and her photograph made for the rogues' gallery. Before her arrest, Mrs. Watkins had been employed in the Diavatis home for eight years. At the time the ring was found a Washington daily paper said the arrest of the girl was a case of misdirected justice. A motion for a new trial will be argued this week. If a new trial is not granted the attorneys for Mrs. Watkins—Armond W. Scott and Elwood Hubert—will carry the case to the court of appeals. the 24th, when the police wagon from No. 4 will cug around and collect them. Money and food may also be given. Leave it at any precinct station house, and the police will take care of it. If you want to know what will become of your gifts, here is the way it works: Each policeman makes out a list of the most needy people on his beat. He turns the list in to the Fourth Precinct, and gives a card to each family he has listed. **Last Year** This card entitles the family to a Christmas basket of food and sometimes clothing, and entitles the children to attend the big Fourth Precinct Christmas party. Here is what happened last year. The police distributed: Toys and candy to 7,600 children. Clothing to 200 women and children. Clothing to 500 men. A ton of coal to each of 19 desperate families. So the gift you place at the foot of the tree in the four theatres named will go where it is needed badly. And it will go to the poor people through the hands of men they look upon as friends — the police. Give something. They will appreciate it. Office: 920 U St. N. W. WOMAN FATALLY INJURED DURING SUNDAY'S STORM Mrs. Hilda McCarthy Dies of Injuries Received in Auto Crash Mrs. Hilda Peterson McCarthy, 30, 2007 Thirteenth Street, North- west, was fatally injured, Sunday afternoon, when a taxicab in which she was a passenger and another car collided at Fourteenth and F Streets during the snow and rain storm.

Paul Robeson Says, "They Would Think I'm Crazy in New York" London, Eng.—The Daily Guardian of Manchester says that when Paul Robeson was recently cornered, not long ago, he outlined his plans for a repertory theatre in London next year. He would, he said, take over a West End Playhouse, surround himself with a first-class company and put on plays in which he was interested. The Hungarian author Lengyl, according to Mr. Robeson, is writing a play especially for him, in which he will be the only Negro performer, surrounded by a white company. "If that is a success I shall play it for three months, and then only ever, other week, with the alternate week filled in with some other play," says Robeson. Mr. Robeson said that he would not appear in Negro parts exclusively, but hoped to do Russian pieces, Ibsen and poc. b'. Shakespeare. Asked what made him decide to start his project in London rather than in New York, he declared: "Well, you see. I mean to take a play off, even if it is still a success, in order to put on something else, and they wouldn't understand that in New York. They would think I am crazy." Capital News Service National Benefit's Deficit $4,014,678, The Actuaries Say MIGRATORY BOYS TO BE PROVIDED REST HAVEN HERE MIGRATORY BOYS TO BE PROVIDED REST HAVEN HERE Civic Groups Asked to Contribute to Fund for Homeless Youths A plan to care for homeless boys who are said to be coming into the District at the rate of one hundred a day, was outlined at a meeting of the Bloomingdale Civic Association, Tuesday night at Tabor Presbyterian Church. The plan as outlined by Ray A. Clark, of the East Central Civic Association, chairman of a committee investigating the influx of migratory boys, called for the establishment of a home in the 1800 block of Twelfth Street, Northwest. The Travelers' Aid has agreed to furnish and heat the home and provide a social worker and housekeeper. Civic associations in the District will be asked to contribute a small sum each month towards renting the property. Han Are Colored Mr. Clark said that of the one hundred boys coming into Washington from all sections of the country every day, at least fifty per cent are colored. The plan will be to return these boys to their homes wherever it is possible or to find employment for those without homes or friends. The ages of the boys range from 14 to 22, said the speaker. They are to remain at the home until they are adjusted. The president of the association, Mrs. Jacqueline A. Cuney, is to appoint a committee from her organization to study the problem and work out plans to rehabilitate these wandering youths. Scores Playground The association went on record as opposed to the lack of supervision of Howard playground and will protest to the Community Center Department. It was stated that a group of incorrigible boys use the playground, which makes it an unfit place for smaller children. Miss M. E. Shorter, principal of Mott School, which is across the street from the Howard playground, refused to permit small children of the school to use the playground due to lack of supervision. Mr. Clark also said that he was summoned during the recent rent investigation by Congress and high rents as they affect colored persons would be probed. He said photographs were presented to the committee showing alley conditions in Washington and in many instances colored people were paying from two to four times more than rental property was worth. The committee learned that 238 colored persons here died of tuberculosis to 100,000 population, compared with 58 white persons for the same population. Child Welfare Mr. Clark told the association of plans being formulated to care for child welfare in the District. Each civic association is to contribute clothing and shoes to a common fund. These articles will be distributed under the direction of Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools. Committees from the various associations are to meet with Mr. Wilkinson next week. It was pointed out that child delinquency in a large measure was due to lack of clothing. W. H. C. Brown to Be Speaker at N.A.A.C.P. Mass Meeting W. H. G. Brown, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, will be the speaker at a mass meeting sponsored by the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Sunday at Plymouth Congregational Church, Seventeenth and P Streets, Northwest. The Rev. R. M. Williams, pastor of Asbury M.E. Church, will also be one of the speakers. Samuel D. Matthews will be the presiding officer. Miss Emma F. G. Merritt is president of the local N.A.A.C.P., and Archibald S. Pinkett, secretary. The best greetings are those bringing us joy—and what better joy than to know where our dollar can secure for us the best values? The advertisements in our columns are timely greetings. Probe High Rents Child Welfare Report Reveals That Only $1,060,673 in Assets Is Now Available The total deficit of the National Benefit Insurance Company is estimated at $4,013,678, as shown by the report of the actuaries working under the orders of the receivers. The report was filed in the District Supreme Court on Thursday and represents the status of the company as of September 9, 1931. The total assets are given as $1,060,673, $307,474 of which represents the assets of the old Standard Life, which was merged with the National Benefit. Claims and liabilities against the combined companies were stated as $5,076,441, of which $726,534 was claims against the former Standard Life. The assets of the company as of September 9, 1931, were as follows: Real estate, $397,514; mortgage loan, $287,264; bonds, $197,458; stocks, $28,375; cash, $95,023; furniture and fixtures, $20,000; automobile and equipment, $250; stock on farm owned by company, $1,140. The report warns that although the statement of the receivers was carefully prepared, it cannot be used as a substantial basis for forecasting the future of individual claimants. For while there is no present market for many of the bonds and mortgages, increased values may come from improved financial conditions. JOHN T. RHINES HEADS SOUTHWEST CITIZENS' GROUP JOHN T.

Clayton Powell of New York Preaches at Conference Meeting Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church of New York City, one of the oldest colored churches in the country, delivered the sermon at the meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Vicinity, Monday, at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. Preaching on the subject, "The Source of All Power," Dr. Powell declared: "The most startling thing in the world during the last sixty years has been the intelligent unfolding of the power wrapped up in the earth, and yet science is just beginning to reveal the omnipotence of the material universe. Man is made out of the same powerful matter which composed the universe, plus something that is infinitely greater than the power of the universe." He continued: "Man is not only a bundle of electric power like all other world stuff, but unlike all other world matter he is intensely conscious and is endowed with the faculty of reasoning. Because of his consciousness' and ability to reason, man can come in direct contact with God, who declares 'all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.'" Giving a prerequisite for receiving this power from God, Dr. Powell said, we must "eliminate from our lives the things that are not in harmony with the plans and purposes of God." He concluded: "We cannot be filled with God until we are emptied of selfishness, intolerance, prejudice, envy and jealousy." Native of Virginia The Abyssinian Church is celebrating its 124th anniversary this year. Dr. Powell, who has pastored the church since 1908, is a native of Franklin County, Virginia, and a graduate of the old Virginia University of Richmond. He studied two years at the Yale Divinity School and has received the title of D.D., from Virginia Seminary and College, from Virginia Union, and from Howard University.

Washington Vocational School to Hold Annual Christmas Exhibit On Tuesday evening, December 20, at 7:30 o'clock, the Margaret Murray Washington Vocational School, O Street between North Capitol and First Streets, Northwest, will hold its annual Christmas exhibit at the school. Every effort is being made to make this exhibit the most helpful as well as the most entertaining and interesting that the school has ever had. In each department there will be demonstrations, distribution of suggestions, and displays indicative of the work in that respective department. From seven-thirty o'clock until eight-thirty, each home-room will have a special program. Each student in each home-room is endeavoring to have as many representatives as possible. Many of the gowns worn in the Phyllis Wheatley pageant, recently given, were made by the pupils of this school. These will be on display. This display in itself is an exhibit and an incentive to attend the Christmas exhibit. At eight-forty-five, there will be a short general assembly at which time the girls of section DA4 will present a playlet "Dame Fashion" followed by a Christmas recital under the direction of Mrs. E. S. Thornton, the instructor of music, which follows: The Carol of the Three Kings, from "Nuit de Noel" 17 Rimski-korsakov, sung by a group of girls, Lullaby from "Jocelyn" by Godard.

Taylor, pastor of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church and reporter of current topics for the Baptist Ministers' Conference, which met at his church Monday afternoon, urged the ministers to be very cautious in indorsing and lending aid to agencies claiming to be seeking financial assistance for the now famous Scottsboro boys. The Rev. Mr. Taylor declared that numerous organizations are claiming the honor of securing a new trial for the boys, and that these agencies are those that never appeal to the church until they need the church's influence in a matter of this kind. Tabernacle Baptist Church "Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, t. be ruler of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties and rulers of tens!" (Exodus 18:21). "Organizing for Mountain Climbing" was the Rev. Mr. Bradshaw's theme on last Sunday morning. The sermon was especially directed to the three major departments of the church (Children, Youth and Adult) in order to encourage more constructive work within the ranks of each department. Two of the younger members of the church, Misses Jeanette Cousins and Cora Sisney sponsored a fashion review Friday night at the church. The pastor complimented the girls for their interest in the church program and for the success of the affair.

Several county superintendents testified to the non-existence of schools reputedly reported as constructed under Mr. Hilbil's tenure as an employee of the State. Coincident with the offering of the testimony of the county superintendents, the district attorney offered alleged check stubs purporting to show that Mr. Hilbil had mailed funds for the asserted "ghost" schools to the county superintendents. Conviction came after two previous attempts of the State had failed, on each occasion the jury being unable to reach a verdict. Sentence was deferred.

The meeting, like the other sessions of the association, was held in the First Baptist Church, which was packed with an appreciative audience. Able addresses, setting forth the ideals and needs of Negro education in Texas, were delivered by R. T. Tatum, executive secretary of the colored teachers' association, and W. R. Bapks, president of Prairie View Normal, state college for Negroes. A number of well rendered musical selections—solos, quartettes, and choruses—were greatly enjoyed. Members of the white association who arranged for this feature of the program were enthusiastic about the results. "A splendid program," "an unqualified success," "stirring and effective addresses," "immense audience," "fine impressions made," were som of the phrases by which they described it. The occasion was felt to be significant as indicating and strengthening 2 fine sense of sympathy and co-operation between the two associations. Urges Move to Enable Negroes to Get Home Loan CHICAGO, III. (CNS)—Charles S. Duke, president of the National Technical Association, is reported as advising extension of building and loan association activities to members of the race to enable them to obtain benefits of the Home Loan Bank. Mr. Duke pointed out it is claimed that while Negroes make up a twelfth of Chicago's population, only two of the 430 building and loan associations have Negro members and that it is difficult for them to get real estate loans. Since all Negro banks have been closed, foreclosures are numerous and property is becoming run down as the owners see the prospects of losing their homes becoming almost a certainty.

(CNS)—Negro education, in connection with the study of the state's public school system now being made by the Kentucky Educational Commission, will be fully considered if all its aspects and a special committee has been appointed by James H. Richmond, superintendent of public instruction, to prepare a report on any special problems peculiar to that branch of the educational system of the state. The committee is headed by R. B. Atwood, president of Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute here; L. N. Taylor, supervisor of Negro schools; Dr. R. E. Clement, dean of Louisville Municipal College; H. R. Merry, principal of Lincoln-Grant school, Covington; and A. S. Wilson, principal of Madison Junior High School, Louisville. Mr. Richmond told the committee members, in his letter of designation, that the work of the educational commission deals with elementary, secondary and college levels of Kentucky's public school system. He said further: "No distinctions will be made in the commission's work between colored and white children. However, it is possible that some problems peculiar to the education of Negro children, brought about largely because of separate schools may not be considered sufficiently. "Therefore I deem it advisable to appoint a special committee whose purpose it will be to prepare a report on what might be problems peculiar to the education of the Negro. This report will be submitted to the commission for its consideration." PULLMAN NEWS V. A. Bunch, Reporter The Pullman Porters' uniforms are being called for daily to avoid the usual Christmas rush.

One of these putty colored groups can be found in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Young, 343 Dolphin, Street, Baltimore, Md., where it is highly prized. The New York Historical Society, 170 Central Park West, is making a collection of these plaster statuettes. The society has now acquired fifty-five of the Rogers groups and lacks only twenty-one to make a complete set. of their picture of American life in a past generation. The fifty-five statuettes and groups it possesses are in perfect condition. The earliest in the collection is the "Slave Auction," which started Rogers on his career. One of the rarest of the plaster statuettes, a recent acquisition, is that of Joseph Jefferson in the character of Bob Acres in "The Rivals." It is a single figure thirty-four inches high. Popular groups in possession of the society are "Weighing the Baby," "Checkers up at the Farm," and the "Council of War." The last named portrays President Lincoln, General Grant and Secretary of War Stanton holding a sword. From the early days of the War of Rebellion to the beginning of the new century Rogers modeled figures in clay and reproduced them in plaster by means of gelatine molds. The putty-colored groups adorned the parlors of many homes where they reposed on the marble surfaces of black walnut tables. Groups Had Wide Appeal They were greatly admired and were regarded as excellent examples of American art. Truly American in subject and spirit, they had a wide appeal, picturing as they did the fathers, mothers, children.

They likewise portrayed acenes from favorite plays and stories and incidents of the War of Rebellion. During the early years of the Twentieth Century the Rogers groups, very popular up to this time, were discarded as being too sentimental and ugly and gradually they began to disappear from the parlors to give place to more modern forms of art. Of late, however, they have been cagely sought by collectors who are ransacking the attics, cellars and barns of old homesteads for them. teer" is pictured expl blacksmith and a sma the fort was taken.

One is the rare "Fugitive's Story." It depicts a Negro slave, holding a young child in her arms, telling her tale as the ardent Abolitionists, John Greenleaf Whittier, Henry Ward Beecher and William Lloyd Garrison, listen attentively. The realities of war are depicted in the "Wounded Scout," "The Picket Guard," "Wounded to the Rear," and "News from the Army."

The society has three statuettes showing Rip at home, in the mountains, and on his return after his twenty years' sleep.

"Dion Boucicault is shown in the Dion Braughraun." There is a group from Longfellow in which Priscilla is putting the famous question, "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?" to Miles Standish's bashful emissary. Homely Groups in Great Favor Rogers's homely sentimental groups were in great favor, for they gave both an artistic and a domestic touch to every home. Some of the favorites are: "Charity Patient," "The Foundling," "Neighboring Pews," "Coming to the Parson," "The Elder's Daughter," and "The Tap on the Window." His groups of children, "We Boys," "Going for the Cows," "School Days," and "Playing Doctor," were prime favorites. The society intends to assemble these groups of the famous sculptor's who for fifty years was reverenced everywhere in the United States and to place them before the eyes of a later generation. Black Folk in the Rogers Groups Black Folk in the Rogers Groups By F. H. M. MURRAY In another column there is an article concerning the once famous "Rogers Groups," as they were called, and with the editor's permission I am making a brief comment on the article. I think that as a beginning it ought to be explained that notwithstanding the reasons given in the article for the "discarding" of these groups, the more probable reason for their general disappearance was their extreme fragility coupled with very great delicacy of modeling. Personally. I have never heard these groups referred to as "ugly." Had people so regarded them—unless they had been clever caricatures, which they were not—they would not have sold by the scores of thousands, as they did. The material of which the groups were made (colored plaster of paris) rendered them susceptible to fracture by the slightest roughness in handling; and they were practically unmendable. When I was preparing matter for a book "Emancipation and the Freed in American Sculpture" I devoted considerable time and effort to these groups. From my collection of them and from research, including letters from the widow of Mr. Rogers, I was able to determine that at least six of the groups showed black folk in one form or another. Of these six, three are listed in the article referred to, which was sent out by the Capital News Service. The three are: "The Slave Auction," "The Fugitive's Story," and "The Wounded Scout or a Friend in the Swamp." The other three groups which are known to have in them people of color are: "Taking the Oath and Drawing Rations," "Uncle Ned's School," and "The Camp Fire, or Making Friends with the Cook." I was able to secure pictures of all of the six groups except the last named. From these pictures, half-tone engravings were made and used in illustrating the book. These engravings are reproduced in this issue of the Tribune. I should explain, perhaps, that the engravings were made for printing on high-grade, surfaced paper and hence do not reproduce well on newsprint. However, the reader will get a pretty good idea of the appearance of the groups and what the artist attempted to portray. It would occupy too much space here to attempt to describe and discuss them in detail, but some years ago the twenty pages devoted to them in the book were reprinted in the Tribune in the Children's Corner, then conducted by C. Leslie Frazier. While the most of the pictures here reproduced will fairly well tell their own story, the circumstances giving rise to the group, "Taking the Oath," are probably not familiar to the majority of the generation now living. With the editor's permission I am reprinting the description from the book: "Taking the Oath," Mr. Rogers, it is said, considered to be his best piece of work, although not all of us will agree with him as to that. The scene is laid in the South in a part of the Confederacy occupied at the time 'by the Union army. It shows a woman, who, driven by necessity, is taking the oath of allegiance to the Union before she will be permitted to draw rations from the Federal commissariat. It is probably her last resource, for we can well believe that the "invading" soldiers have relentlessly "levied on" everything of a sustaining character which eyes could see or picks and bayonets uncover. We can also believe that the needs of the child which clings to her skirt had some influence in overcoming her evident reluctance to the making of the sacrifice which clearly she feels that she is making. The woman's ill-concealed "mental reservations" to the terms of the obnoxious cath are suggested with fine subtlety; while the quizzical banter, yet half-sympathy, in the look of the young Yankee officer is depicted with consummate art and is decidedly taking. Young "Africanus" leans his chin on the basket that is soon to be filled with the much-needed "grub," while he scans "missus's" face with questioning wonderment. Although these War Groups were made for "Northern consumption," there is in none of them anything that could reasonably give offense to the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 16, 1932 THE FOUR MASTERS THE FUGITIVE'S STORY The persons represented in the group are (left to right) Whittier, Beecher, and (seated) Garrison. most ardent Southerner; and this particular group is not worthy because in it there is, perhaps, an equal appeal to South and North. It may be that is the reason that Mr. Rogers came to regard it as his best work. Concerning "The Camp Fire" group—a picture of which I was unable to secure—I hope the historical society will be more fortunate than I. In the event that they are, I shall make an effort to secure a reproduction for the Tribune; for, if my recollection serves me rightly, in none of his groups was there more significant, though the thoughts it suggests me when a led. Indeed esteemed me, then, more than any other one that I saw, for reason will appear shortly. Lorado Taft in his "History of American ture," quotes a briefion of the group which A hungry soldier seated inverted baskets is reading paper to an "intelligent band" who is stirring the contents of a huge euilent a fire. Some one has said, a ously, too, that it was and beans" which fr A Roger A Rogers Group SOLIDARITY UNCLE NED'S SCHOOL merely suggested, history, coupled with "taking" humor. So appealing was this group to me whenever I got a view of it when a boy—usually in some art store window—that I am taking a chance against the editor's blue pencil by offering another extract from the book already quoted from. I quote: "The Camp Fire" "The Camp Fire or Making Friends with the Cook," is evidently an interesting group; but I have not been able to locate a copy of the group nor to secure a picture of it. However, I think I have a fairly distinct recollection of it and A Rogers Group ```markdown ``` A TAKING THE OATH --- --- the thoughts it suggested to me when a lad. Indeed, it interested me, then, perhaps more than any other of those that I saw, for reasons that will appear shortly. Lorado Taft in his book, "History of American Sculpture," quotes a brief description of the group which says: A hungry soldier seated upon an inverted basket, is reading a newspaper to an "intelligent contraband" who is stirring the tempting contents of a huge euilent pot over a fire. Some one has said, and seriously, too, that it "bacon and beans" which freed the Group slave and saved the Union; meaning that these were the chief articles of food which sustained the Northern armies during the long struggle. But I recall that, in this group, the half-absorbed, mysterious expression on the cook's face, together with the suggestive pose of his head, gave me the impression that in this particular stew there were "gregients" far more tempting than, bacon and beans. I suspected, rather, that in this scene we had the denouement of one of those occasions that Uncle Frank Group --- used to tell us about after he came back from the War—occasions when necks were stretched and even broken to enforce "loyalty." According to Frank's narration, when they would "hit" a new neighborhood they would "seize" all the fowls that were supposed to be six months old and over. The males would be ordered to "crow for the Union." If the fowls refused, as of course these "rebel" cocks would usually do, they were forthwith "confiscated," with all of their "houses." We can readily guess the rest. As stated in article in another column, "The Slave Auction" was Rogers's first bid for favor. It appeared in 1860, and was eagerly purchased all over the North. Of course, we cannot be sure, but we may well believe that this little group—carrying its piteous yet obvious story—may have had great significance in the campaign of that year which placed Mr. Lincoln in the presidential chair. Prisons and Prisoners By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL He Thinks that the Prisoners Themselves Should Be Consulted in Matters of Penology. For nearly six months now I have been conducting this weekly "Prisons and Prisoners" column for our School News, and I have accepted it as a high compliment that at no time has my "copy" been "out" or otherwise tampered with, barring an occasional typographical error, and with one or two exceptions I have always been free to choose my own subjects. On the other occasions I merely expressed my own viewpoints or observations on some specific theme that was pertinent at the moment. Some weeks ago Thomas decorated this page with a sketch showing his conception of how I looked. A copy of that particular column was sent to all the papers, in all parts of the country, that use other writings of mine. Since then I have been besieged with inquiries and requests concerning both this column and School News. I do not know what have been the experiences of the other contributors, or the sentiments expressed by relatives or friends to the individual inmates of Jackson prison, but if the letters and editorial messages that I have been receiving are indicative of the others then I would say that the entire inmate body owe a vote of thanks to McNabb for his tireless ingenuity in creating and putting across such a wonderful medium as School News for creating and maintaining good-will among influential members of society and the inmates as a whole. In time, this medium can become, and undoubtedly will become, a powerful influence in bringing to light a new phase of conditions peculiarly attendant on those convicted of crime and their subsequent effects. It certainly should not appear incongruous that the so-called criminals could contribute ideas towards solving the conditions that made them criminals. It is not an uncommon occurrence in any prison to see visitors making a tour of inspection through the prison only to learn later that such a tour qualified the visitors to serve as experts on penology or to make them peculiarly fit to sit in judgment on others. We will stretch a point and say that maybe a very keen observation enables them to so qualify but we must admit that those who have served years in prison are also qualified. Being qualified, however, but with no means of giving testimony is of little consequence and that is just where School News may, some day, fill an important role. Just imagine the benefits that could accrue with a weekly department in this medium in which one page would be used to furnish a "case history" of some prisoner and his conclusions or suggestions? If necessary, these weekly subjects could be written without any identifying name or number but so keyed that each case could be checked and analyzed. All personalities would be lost and the facts only would become important. In time these cases would attract and come to the attention of those who would become personally interested and in a spirit of fairness and justice would make pertinent investigations and if the facts, were substantiated then School News would have found a new friend for some "forgotten" man Personally, I hope I have discarded all selfishness. I have learned to appreciate opportunities and if anything that I can write will help to create opportunities for the other prisoners than I am only passing on to others a part of that kindness which I am constantly receiving as the result of contact through School News and other mediums. Housebreakers Take All in Sight from S.W. Home Mary J.

AND AFFILIATES RATED CLASS'A' ATLANTA, Ga.—Atlanta University and its affiliated colleges, Morehouse and Spelman, have just received from the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools a Class "A" rating, which puts them on a scholastic parity with the best colleges of the land. This rating was accorded at the recent meeting of the Southern association in New Orleans, on the basis of a careful study of the equipment and work of these schools made by a special committee of Southern educators created for that purpose. It means that bachelor degrees conferred by Morehouse and Spelman and the master's degree conferred by Atlanta University will receive the same credit for post-graduate work in higher institutions as similar degrees from Vanderbilt, University of Virginia, or any other of the great institutions in the Southern association. The association had previously given an "A" rating to Talladega College, Fisk University, and Hampton Institute. This rating means that institutions in this class meet in full the standards set by the association for 4-year colleges. Class "B" includes those institutions which do not meet these standards in full, but the quality of whose work "is such as to warrant the admission of their graduates to higher institutions without condition." The Class "B" list includes twenty-one other Negro colleges in ten Southern states. The census report shows 42,585 Negro churches in the United States, with 25,034 ministers, of whom 494 are women.

FI ELEVEN BISHOP WHO DREW COLOR LINE IS INVALIDATED Episcopal Prelate Fails Confirmation for Discriminating Against Bishop Denby LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—The Very Rev. John Williamson, dean of Trinity Cathedral here, will not be confirmed in his election as Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas. A majority of the 73 bishops of the church have failed to confirm Dean Williamson's election by the state diocesan convention at Newport, Ark., last May on the ground that the Newport convention was not held in the proper spirit. They contended the color line had been drawn in the celebration of holy communion. Color Discrimination Preceding the election there was a service of the Holy Communion, but the colored bishop and the colored priest were asked to hold a separate service in the basement of the church. This they refused to do. Later, Bishop Demby announced to the bishops of the church, who had to give their consent before the election could become valid, that the bishop-elect had been a party to this discrimination. Robbed of Watch and Chain John Scott, resident of Villa Roma, Md., was robbed of his watch and chain valued at $25 while stopping at the Salvation Army headquarters, Seven and P Streets, Northwest, early this week.

(Bell System) 5 IN CASH EE Kid Chocolate Defeats Fidel LaBarba in Title Match TWELVE CHOCOLATE KEEPS FEATHER CROWN Stout Fighting Heart of Cuban is Factor in Victory NEW YORK.-Kid Chocolate of Cuba successfully defended his world's featherweight championship by winning the decision from Fidel La Barba, California, in the fifteen-round main event, Friday night at Madison Square Garden. A crowd of 14,000 attended. The New York American Christmas Fund shared in the receipts. Both sparred cautiously to open the proceedings, but La Barba opened serious hostilities by scoring with a sharp left hook to the body and then sent Chocolate's head back with two lefts to the head, ending the flurry with a solid right to the body. Chocolate absorbed several leftofs to the face and then the Cuban put over a left to the jaw and a solid right to the body. They went into a clinch, which found Chocolate pounding the body with his right. Both kept up a fast pace until the gong ended the session. Chocolate on the Attack Midway in the second round, after a slow beginning, Chocolate unleashed a furious offensive and forced La Barba about the ring under a furry of rights and lefts. Many of the blows missed their mark, but others scored and they hurt the challenger. They staged frequent midring exchanges, but the champion dominated most of the action throughout this round. Chocolate smashed three hard rights in quick succession to La Barba's body near the close of the third round and they slowed the attack of the Californian. Both exchanged hard body blows and clinched frequently as each strove to land a-devastating punch. Chocolate worried the challenger with his clever jabbing, alternating this light punch with a solid left hook to the face and body. After a fast fourth round in which Chocolate pummelled La Barba savagely about the body in midrung exchanges, the challenger rallied in the fifth and scored repeatedly with solid left hooks to the body and head. La Barba appeared faster and stronger and frequently forced the champion to miss. The Californian landed a hard right to the body just before the bell. Action Brisk in Sixth Chocolate missed a vicious right uppercut soon after the sixth got under way and he followed this with a bristling attack that lasted until the bell sent the battlers to their corners. The challenger braced in the seventh and closed a brilliant session by splitting the champion's lips with three successive left, but Chocolate dominated the frequent exchanges in the next round, often smothering La Barba with the fierceness of his attack. In the twelfth he made his major bid, catching Chocolate along the ropes as the round started with a looping left to the head that banded the Cuban's legs and forced him to clinch. The "Keed" held desperately as La Barba, scenting a chance to end it all, battered him across the ring and back again. But just when he needed it most, Chocolate's reserve strength came to the fore. He dug his feet into the canvas and started punching. Wallops that had been slipping over La Barba's hobbing head, bouncing off protecting gloves, suddenly whipped home. In a twinkling the advantage shifted as Chocolate volleyed one right and left after another into the Californian's tired head. Chocolate in Trouble For the last minute and a half of the twelfth the Cuban, battling desperately against a defeat that had been a scant few punches away, had as great an advantage as was LaBarba's in the first half of the round, which ended with honors dead even. Once he settled down and gained control of his wild left hand and free-swinging right that missed as often as it landed, Chocolate came on to add just the necessary touch of sparkle to his work to warrant a decision. No Clear Cut Champion Heretofore The division became destitute of a clear-cut claimant to the throne last winter when Bat Batталino, who held the title beyond dispute, appeared to defend it weighing eleven pounds over the limit.

Met Twice Before Chocolate and LaBarba had met twice before Friday night. The Cuban won the decision in their first clash, but the Californian outpointed him in the second contest. Chocolate's defeat by LaBarba was one of only four he has suffered since he became a professional. The others were at the hands of Jackie (Kid) Berg, Tony Canzoneri and Bat Battalino. La Barba formerly held the flyweight championship, but on gaining weight seemed to lose some of his effectiveness until recently, when he staged an impressive comeback, winning three of his last five fights by knockouts and the other two by easy decisions. Regardless of their feeling about the decision, the customers went away thrilled to the marrow by the battle. It isn't often that two little men put up such a fight. La Barba left the ring with a cut over his left eye, and another cut on his left cheek, while Chocolate's mouth was badly battered. The turn of the tide was undoubtedly in the twelfth when La Barba seemed to have the title in the palm of his hand, and in his excitement forgot his ordinary fighting stance and switched to a southpaw stance, his right hand and foot extended. The gasping Chocolate nailed him a terrific right to the chin while Fidel was in that position, and altered the entire aspect of the battle. But only another fight will finally settle this Chocolate LaBarba question, and even then they may wind up again as close as they did last week. They are that evenly matched. the head.

J. — Otto Briggs's Tribune Big Five (boys) playing their first game of the season got off to a flying start when they defeated the Morristown Hawks here before a large crowd by the score of 30 to 12. The playing of Chappelle, Oatman and Morton thrilled the large crowd. Girls Win Two Girls Win Two The Tribune Girls, the national champions, added another one to their string at the Wissahickon Boys' Club in Phialdeelphia when they beat the All Stars, who played in the place of the Philco Girls (white) who disappointed the management of the Tribune Girls at the last moment.

The play of Ora Washington, Inez Patterson, and Rose Wilson was outstanding. The score ended 26 to 18. Alabama State Teachers Turn to Basketball MONTGOMERY, Ala.—The Alabama State Teachers' College, with the inspiration coming from the achievements of a successful college conference football team that lost only one of its nine games and of a high school eleven that won all nine of its games, now turns to basketball with the anticipation of a full and successful season for the college conference quintet, the high school team, the girls' sexette and the faculty five. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 16, 1932 Bisons Register 3rd Straight Victory by Downing Lions, 4-1 The conquering Bisons of Howard University registered their third straight victory of the soccer season last Saturday by defeating a strong Lincoln eleven, 4 to 1. The Bisons left their home grounds early Saturday morning to invade the Lions' territory, there to defeat them on their own battle ground. The game was called at 1:30 p.m., and from the opening whistle until the end of the fourth quarter it was a lively affair. The strong defensive playing of the Lincolnites offered the defensive and offensive lines of the Howardites keen opposition for the first three quarters, but with the beginning of the fourth quarter, that spectacular burst of good soccer, so characteristic of the Bisons in all of their games, made itself manifest and the Lions were completely outplayed in this quarter. So lively was the going throughout the whole game that both teams suffered a number of minor casualties. While Lincoln has offered the Bisons the stiffest competition so far, yet their best was not good enough to beat this formidable foe. Line-up: **HOWARD** LINCOLN J. Rathairi Goal. Abrams A.

A Fighting Heart Saves a Champion Only a fighting heart carried Kid Chocolate to victory in his fifteen-round title bout with Fidel La Barba, last Friday night in Madison Square Garden. In the twelfth round the Cuban was living severely punished by La Barba and almost went down. The staunch heart of the little champion came to his rescue in this round, enabling him to weather the storm and carried him over one of the toughest spots it has ever been the lot of the Kid to meet. That twelfth stanza had the fans wild when they saw La Barba riding on the crest of victory and they felt that it was well worth the price of admission to be in at the kill of the game Cuban. Rallying while still under a heavy barrage, the Cuban came back to beat his opponent and win the round. Although there was some booing at the final decision, the 14,000 fans felt that they were well paid and every one agreed that it was one of the greatest battles seen in the garden. Already there is talk of a return match between these two boys. Picking All-American Grid Teams These all what-not teams always looked over a few this season and being to see the prejudice and provide these "all" teams. One can readily tell where the reading his selections. If the bulb one knows the picker is from Rich the school. Again if the majority then the one naming the team is country or maybe the school itself. So on down the line it goes, gardless of the worth of the play also noticable that most of the educators who are the first to yell These all what-not teams always give me a big laugh. I have looked over a few this season and all tell the same story. It is amusing to see the prejudice and provincialism that go into the making of these "all" teams. One can readily tell where the selector of an all team lives from reading his selections. If the bulk of the players are on Union's team one knows the picker is from Richmond or has a close connection with the school. Again if the majority of the players are from Wilberforce then the one naming the team is identified with that section of the country or maybe the school itself. So on down the line it goes. Every man picks his favorites regardless of the worth of the players that are in another school. It is also noticable that most of the all teams are selected by our so-called educators who are the first to tell about real sportsmanship.

Gibson is one of the best spo fear he has suffered in his official which he has no control. The barring of Coach Leonard U. Gibson as an official in the Bisons' football games the latter part of the season created quite a rumpus in some circles. I have the highest regard for Mr. Gibson as an official in football and basketball, and I easily rate him as one of the best I have ever seen work a game. However, in justice to sports I must say that Gibson has lost some of the keen preception that distinguished him in former years and I am of the opinion that he is not up to the standard of some years back through no fault of his own. I know personally that the Douglass coach has been suffering with eye trouble for some time and I remember the time when the Athenians, a Baltimore basketball team, kicked on his decisions due to faulty vision. The Athenians refused to use Gibson as a result of this unfortunate affair and in the later games sent to Washington for Sam Lacey. Gibson is one of the best sport authorities in the business, but I fear he has suffered in his officiating as a result of a handicap over which he has no control. Tuskegee Prepares for Tilt With Prairie View TUSKEGEE, Ala.—After a rest since Thanksgiving Day, the Tuskegee Tigers resumed practice this week in preparation for the game with Prairie View College, of Prairie View, Texas, which will be played at Buffalo Stadium, in Houston, Friday, December 30. Tuskegee and Prairie View have met three times since 1921 and in each game the Golden Tigers have emerged victorious. The outcome of the game this year is uncertain because the Prairie View players seem to have just struck their stride during the late weeks of their regular season. The Panthers are on edge to add a Tiger victory to their already splendid athletic record made under their hard-working and aggressive coach. Freshmen Down Sophs in "Battle of Ribbons" The Miner Teachers' College Freshmen defeated the Sophomores, 25 to 12, in the first annual "Battle of Ribbons" Friday.

LAST MINUTE GOAL WINS COURT GAME Bordentown Noses Out Plainfield in Overtime Game, 46-45 PLAINFIELD, N.J. — Stretch Russ, former Bordentown School basketball star, failed in his attempt to turn back his old team- mates, Friday night, when the Bord- entown School five nosed out the Plainfield Y.M.C.A. team in a thrilling overtime game. A long shot from center in the last ten seconds of play put the Wildcats one point ahead and gave them their second win in two games. Victory was doubly sweet for the schoolboys, for their oppo- nents had rushed away at the start of the game to a 12-0 lead before Morris started his teammates off with a long shot from center. Plainfield led, 24-19, at half time, trailed with one minute to go, caught Bordentown to tie the score as the whistle blew. The Y.M.C.A. boys jumped off to a four point lead as the overtime period began, but three foul shots and a long goal by Morris enabled the Wildcats to salt away the contest in its closing seconds, by a 46-45 score. Girls' Team Loses The Bordentown girls had poorer luck in their opening game of the season, for after grabbing off a ten point lead in the first quarter against the W.Y.C.A. girls, their attack collapsed while Plainfield's strengthened. The final score was 23-17.

Brown & Farina “YOU SAID A MOUTHFUL” FOURTEEN 'VIRTUE' COMES TO LINCOLN, FRIDAY Opening at the Lincoln Theatre, Friday, December 18, and running through Tuesday, December 20, Miss Carole Lombard (Mrs. William Powell to you) will let you decide whether or not a girl should tell a man of her past. In "Virtue" Miss Lombard is pictured as a New York City girl of easy virtue, who is given a chance to reform following her arrest and plea of guilty. After the management of the Lincoln viewed the picture it was found to be too spicy and sexy for children under 16 to see. In this production you will find two peculiarly feminine social problems which are stressed in the plot of "Virtue." One is, can a woman who has lived a life of professional immorality, reform and win a respectable place in society through marriage? The second is, should a girl with a past tell her husband about her previous experiences? How would a man, just married, who learns on his wedding night that his wife was formerly a woman of doubtful virtue, a woman who would submit to any man, react to the situation? Pictures recently have impressed the public with the glamours of Park Avenue apartments, of Fifth Avenue shops, of pent-house luxury—what about the millions of girls and men who work on small salaries and sometimes have no jobs? "Virtue" propounds a trueto-life answer to that query. All the genuine turmil, heartbreak and temptation of lives lacking financial sustenance are portrayed in this exciting story before your very eyes, and this is the reason mothers are asked to keep their children from seeing this picture. Remember, children under 16 positively will not be admitted. WILL ROGERS IN TOO BUSY TO WORK AT THE RAPHAEL Backed by an impressive cast that is headed by Will Rogers, "Too Busy To Work," the celebrated wit's latest picture will open an engagement at the Raphael Theatre next Tuesday, where it will remain for two days. The story of "Too Busy To "Hot Saturday," the new film which opens a two-day run, Wednesday and Thursday, December 21-22, at the Lincoln Theatre, features Nancy Carroll, Gary Grant and Randolph Scott in a human, dramatic story of a girl who walked home. It is the kind of thing that happens anywhere, and has been produced and acted with such effective simplicity that it seems strangely, intimately real. The film tells the story of Ruth Brock, the most popular girl in town, who suddenly finds her whole world crashing down about her ears merely because she has been seen to leave the car of a man the town has dubbed notorious. In the role of Ruth, Nancy Carroll gives one of the finest performances of her career, and Grant again proves his excellence as the notorious Romer Sheffield. Randolph Scott, the lanky young man who scored in Zane Grey's "Heritage of the Desert," also does a fine job as an old sweetheart of Ruth, who takes the gossip seriously, and the remainder of the cast is exceptionally able. The film is eminently worth seeing.

He finds her living luxuriously and in love, and rather than make her unhappy by revealing himself to her, he goes on his wandering way, contented by the thought that she is enjoying blessings that he could scarcely provide for her. While Rogers is said to be accorded more than the usual number of chances for witty comments, his role is also highly sympathetic. Marian Nixon, who scored successfully in "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" and "Amateur Daddy," portrays the leading feminine role, dividing the love interest with Dick Powell, a newcomer to the screen who made his debut in "Blessed Event." Others in important roles are Constantine Romanoff, Douglas Cosgrove, Louise Beavers, and Jack O'Hara. Ben Ames Williams wrote the story which was prepared for the screen by Philip Klein and Barry Conners. The picture was directed by John Blystone, dean of directors for Fox Films. Have Seeds Tested To all Farmers in Southern Maryland: Have your tobacco seed tested early. Have your tobacco seed cleaned early. F. S. Holmes in charge of the seed laboratory at College Park, advises that January, February and March, are the busy months at the seed laboratory. Therefore, to have tobacco seed cleaned and tested it would be best for the farmer to send them in during December. Tobacco seed can be mailed securely by putting them in a cloth bag and putting the bag in a box or wrapping it with heavy paper. Do not mail in tin or glass. Address the package to Seed Laboratory, College Park, Md. The laboratory stands ready to test and examine any kind of seed sent in. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. DECEMBER 16, 1932 "LIFE BEGINS OPENS TODAY AT THE RAPHAEL Hailed by preview critics who have seen the picture in Los Angeles and New York as "the most unusual picture of the age," the First National production, "Life Begins," is headed for the Rapehale Theatre where it will open its run on Friday, December 16. Unusual both in theme and treatment, "Life Begins" gives the movie audience its first intimate glimpse into the workings of a hospital maternity ward and the lives and tragedies of the women confined there. The delicate subject it deals with has movie audience its first intimate glimpse into the workings of a hospital maternity ward and the lives and tragedies of the women confined there. The delicate subject it deals with has been tactfully, yet most effectively handled by the producers. Opening with the story of a young woman serving a long prison term for murder who is allowed to enter the hospital in order to give birth to her child, the attention of the audience is drawn to the various other inmates of the ward. There is Florette, a pleasure loving lady of the night clubs who disdains her twins. A snobbish, intellectual young lady who has fed on cold psychological material about the upbringing of babies changes her mind when hers is born. Then, there is a woman who strays into their midst from the psychopathic ward, with fancies of becoming a mother and wanting advice. All these individual stories are woven closely within the confines of the ward where doctors, nurses and students add their own particular touch of color to the scene as a whole. The parts of the leading young couple are played by Loretta Young and Eric Linden, with Aline MacMahon prominently cast as the head nurse. Every member of the large cast has an important part to play in the unfolding of the story. This task is handled by Preston Foster, Dorothy Peterson, Glenda Farrell, Frank McHugh, Gloria Shea, Elizabeth Patterson, Walter Walker, Reginald Mason, Gilbert Roland, Ruthelma Stevens, Mary Phillips, Herbert Mundin, Helena Phillips, Hale Hamilton, Dorothy Tree, Vivienne Osborne, Clara Blankford and Terrence Ray. The two directors who gave us "The Mouthpiece" have once more collaborated to bring forth a masterpiece in "Life Begins." James Flood and Elliott Nugent are proving themselves a spendid directorial team. The original play by Mary McDougal Axelson was adapted for the screen by Earl Baldwin. At the Howard More than $20,000 of Christmas Seals Sold With the Christmas Seals of the Tuberculosis Association's campaign now on sale in special booths operated by volunteer teams of women in all the larger department stores and banks of the city and with coin boxes and sales stations in many of the chain stores, in addition to the sales by mail, the total of cash receipts reported at the headquarters of the Association, 1022 Eleventh Street, is now about $20,000. Mrs. Joseph Sanders, chairman of the seal sale committee of the association, has notified the captains of the various special booth teams that they may receive payments from persons to whom the seals have been sent by mail, if desired, to avoid the trouble and postage of mailing checks. Payments so received will be turned into the general office along with booth receipts at the end of the week. It is hoped that this convenient method will encourage many to make immediate payments when possible. STRAND BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL.

The ear-splitting screams of the ferocious gorilla, the terrifying belowing of the giant hippo, the blood-chilling roar of old king lion, are but a few of the thrilling noises that have been holding the local audiences-spell-bound. "Congorilla" was filmed and recorded in its entirety in the very heart of the dark continent. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson spent over two years away from civilization making this remarkable film, lugging camera and cumbersome sound equipment to corners of the earth never before penetrated by civilized man. The big apes and the little peo- ple of Central Africa hold forth in all their ferocity in "Congerilla." This picture is replete with thrills as encountered by these two intrepid explorers on their recent two-year safari into the Belgian Congo, and the previously unexplored Itura forest, the land of the pygmies. The camera and microphone have succeeded in capturing these small, weird people in their native song, dances and tribal vites as well as the giant gorilla, screaming and beating his hairy chest as he engages in mortal combat and attempts to elude his enemy, man. That truth is more thrilling than fiction is once more revealed in this new and astounding picture: "Congerilla." Mr. Martin Johnson has had many thrilling escapes from death in his twenty-three years in the African jungle, but never has he encountered such a hair-raising adventure as his first meeting with a giant silvertback gorilla in the depths of the Belgian Congo. This beast is shown in all his This beast is shown in all his ferocity. It is very unpleasant to feel that you can't lay a piece of paper or a letter down without having someone pick it up and scan its contents. SUNSHINE SAMMY HEADS BILL AT THE HOWARD From "Our Gang Comedy" fame comes Sunshine Sammy, almost a grown man now, whose droleries as a child were the features of Hal Roach's original Comedies.

He will be directing the music furnished by the popular Hardy Brothers' Orchestra. The rest of the show is built around him. Several hours of high class entertainment will be furnished Mr. and Mrs. Theatre-goer which they can easily digest. The screen features R.K.O.'s outstanding spectacle of this season, "The Conquerors," starring Ann Harding as Richard Dix. Special midnight show on Friday. "By Whose Hand?" Mystery on Train at the Broadway A welcome relief from humdrum screen mystery dramas is provided through "By Whose Hand?" a fast-moving Columbia production, showing at the Broadway Theatre Sunday and Monday, December 18-19. Its rapid-fire series of events takes place on a wildly racing express train, which of itself is not a hackneyed locale. Furthermore, the picture is replete with well-placed dramatic suspense, subtlety, and surprise action. In fact, this reviewer doesn't easily recall such a consistent string of thrills in one film. And they are provided by some really capable actors, such as Ben Lyon, Barbara Weeks and Kenneth Thomson. The theme hinges on the escape of a "killer" and his intention to even up old underworld scores as well as make a getaway. This alone proves a prolific source of possibilities for clever scenic writing. But many other things unfold, and the numerous episodes that take place show to what extent the story ha been made to provide an unusual amount of excitement.

LOUIS ARMSTRONG CHICK WEBB'S BAND AT T STREET HOUSE LOUIS ARMSTRONG CHICK WEBB'S BAND AT T STREET HOUSE Making his first stage appearance since his sensational European tour, Louis Armstrong, king of the trumpet and eccentric songster, headlined the attraction at Howard Theatre this week. Supporting Louie's own rollicking offering were Chick Webb and his little Chicks, who provided the musical score and the 1932 edition of Connie's Hot Chocolates. Minus the services of the usual master of ceremonies, the show moved along at a rapid pace and was well received. Louie opened the show with one of his old favorites, "Ain't Mia behaving," and later sang and trumpeted, "When You Smiling," and "Memories of You." His trumpet solos during which he continually reached high C, an accomplishment which stamps him as the world's greatest trumpeter, drew the vociferous applause of the audience. Transmitters were used to make his voice audible during his singing. Sallie Gooding, singing "Yours, All Yours;" Billy Maxey and Al Vigal, rendering "That's My Way." two dancing teams, the Three Cyclones and the Hot Chocolate Steppers; and Hamtree Harrington and Frye, a comedy team, rounded out the show. Webb's band, with Leroy Baker singing the vocat refrain, took a goodly share of the plaudits with its interpretation of "Sylvia." The screen offering, "Strange Justice," was a gripping drama exposing the frame-up methods of crooks of today. An innocent youth was framed and sentenced to the electric chair, however, his mother, his sweetheart, and his attorney believed him not guilty and saved him at the last possible moment.

C. Fields, Mary Boland, Roscoe Karns, May Robson, Gene Raymond, Lucien Littlefield, and Richard Bennett, all in the featured roles of a single production! That in itself is enough to make "If I Had a Million," which opens a three-day run at the Republic Theatre, Friday to Sunday, December 16-18, a picture of outstanding merit. But in addition, "If I Had a Million" turns out to be something distinctly unusual in picture making and one of the genuinely big pictures of the current season. It tells the story of an eccentric millionaire, John Glidden (Richard Bennett), who decides to distribute his money before he dies. He gives it away, a million at a time, to as oddly assorted a collection of humanity as can be imagined. The use to which each of the recipients puts his million forms a tensely dramatic story. The film is, moreover, the background for a whole gallery of portraits, each a distinctly fine characterization. The Glidden of Bennett is particularly fine, but there are also unforgettable portrayals by Wynne Gibson as Mabel Smith, prostitute; Charlie Ruggles, as Henry Peabody, a timid little clerk whose sole ambition has always been to own a rabbit farm; Mary Boland as his wife; George Raft as Eddie Jackson, forger; Gary Cooper, Jack Oakie and Roscoe Karns as three tough marines. Gene Raymond takes the part of a boy condemned to death; Frances Dee as his wife; Alison Skipworth as an ex-vaudeville performer; W. C. Fields as an ex-juggler; and May Robson as a belligerent inmate of an old ladies' home, who uses her million to run an old ladies' home the way she believes it should be run. The movie fans, and their name is legion, who reveal in the romantic dramas of the tropical South Seas will be happy to learn that the Republic Theatre will present "Goona-Goona" (the love drug) for six days. Monday to Saturday, December 19-24. This first division release was filmed entirely in Bali, where women are women. In fact, weary travelers returning (and they dislike leaving this last paradise on earth), say the women of Bali are the most beautiful and graceful in the world—hair, eyes, legs and all those sinuous charms a lowly reviewer only reads about. So Bali is worthy of going afar for as a dramatic setting. And "Goona-Goona," they say, has all the natural appeal of the virgin island and considerable of its sex appeal. The story itself is a dramatic—legend. Enacted by a native cast, it has been based on a love yarn handed down through generations—the one about the prince who wooed the flamee of a servant.

Fifty per cent of the amount collected goes to the nalual organization, and the remainder is spent for local relief work. Up to the present time 222 white families and 243 colored families have received flour distributed by this organization. From November 1 to December 8, 1,278 garments have been distributed among 221 families. The ready-made garments are now arriving and will be given out as fast as they are received. For the week ending December 11, the Salvation Army furnished 219 meals and accommodated 80 persons with lodging. Of those who sought aid 52 were boys under 21 years of age.

City Council Holds Hearing On New Budget For four and a half hours last Tuesday night the city council heard citizens discuss the proposed cuts in the city budget. Twenty persons spoke against cuts in the various budgets. Thirteen persons spoke on the schools and some spoke twice. All were given all the time they desired. Henry C. Brooks, representing the Alexandria Citizens Association, made a very impressive talk on the chaotic conditions of the Parker-Gray School. He said there were 810 pupils crowded into a building intended to house from 500 to 600, with fifty to sixty pupils being taught in a single room. Salaries of $60 to $65 a month, he said, are entirely inadequate. A cut, he said, would work great hardships on the colored citizens, who are already overburdened. He spoke of the work accomplished by the P. T. Association and also stressed the importance of having two more years of high school for the colored students. His speech won the applause of the great crowd of citizens attending the meeting. Window's Home Barred The home of Mrs. Diana Brooks, widow of the late Richard H. Brooks, was damaged by fire of unknown origin Tuesday night. Mrs. Brooks had left home to attend an entertainment at First Baptist Church, at which place she was notified of the fire. The roof was damaged by fire and the house an contents by water. Parker-Gray School The pupils of Parker-Gray who sing carols at the Alexandria Hospital and churches will sing Christmas morning. The evening frolic given by the teachers and friends of Parker-Gray School was well named.

The hall was crowded to its capacity, and the members of the Elk lodge extended the visitors every courtesy and co-operated with the committee, making the affair a great success in every way. R. L. Terrell, district deputy of the Elks for Northern Virginia, and L. H. Williams, past district deputy, were in Warrenton, Va., Tuesday night of last week and held election of officers for the Pride of Warrenton Lodge, and on their return stopped in Middleburg and held the election of officers for the R.

NAtional 8070—ATlantic 6061 occurred last week when Russell George, 33 years old, Negro, serving a life sentence in the State Reformatory for murder, refused a pardon granted by Gov. Roby Lafon. George has been in the reformatory since October, 1927. Elmer Deatherage, superintendent of the reformatory, announced he would ask Judge H. Church Ford, in Franklin Circuit Court, in January to order a lunacy inquest for Russell. The prisoner's father, James C. George, Knowville, Tenn., came to take his son home with him. The son accompanied his father to the bus station, but when the bus arrived, refused to board it, claiming he had no desire to be free. A prison guard was called and returned the man to the prison. There he deposited the Governor's pardon order with the prison clerk and requested that it be sent back to the Governor. The pardon was granted by the Governor on the ground that George has been suffering from tuberculosis in advanced stages, and that his condition is gradually growing worse. George has been unable to perform any heavy du ties for more than three years. Informed that the prisoner had refused his pardon, Governor Lafoon made no comment. Governor Laffon later revoked the pardon. He said the pardon was granted on the understanding that George would accompany his father back to Knoxville, Tenn., but George refused to do this. He remarked the prisoner showed evidence of an unsound mind and was not in condition to be at large. WM. E. MILLER CO. FIRST TO START NO MONEY DOWN SYSTEM The Wm. E. Miller Furniture Co.

MILLER CO. FIRST TO START NO MONEY DOWN SYSTEM The Wm. E. Miller Furniture Co., 7th and E Sts., S.W. was the first furniture company in Washington to use the "no money down" system of credit. "This system has proved to be so satisfactory to both ourselves and our customers that we continue to use it. We believe in making terms as easy as possible for our customers by not carrying them through too much red tape before they are allowed to buy our merchandise," said Mr. Vm. E. Miller, owner of the store. The Miller Furniture Company is one of the oldest in the city and it enjoys a wide clientele from all sections of the city. Recently it opened a branch store at 8th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, S.E. In protest against prevailing prices for produce, farmers dumped wagonloads of vegetables in the streets of Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. Universal Transfers Demanded by East Central Civic Ass'n REID'S CORNER 11th and U Streets, N.W. Merger of 2 Street Car Lines also Endorsed by the Body REPORT OF CHARITY SURVEY SUBMITTED Merger of the street car lines here was endorsed by the East Central Civic Association at its meeting. Friday night. A free transfer at every crossing of the lines, was also demanded by a motion offered by J. A. G. LuValle. He pointed out that under the present system, a citizen can not secure a transfer from one line to the other without an extra payment and then only at certain crossings and in only certain directions. He pointed out that a passenger on the U Street line cannot obtain a transfer south on Ninth Street or Eleventh Street, even for the extra payment. The Seventh Street line will not issue a transfer at Seventh and Georgia Avenue to continue on up Georgia Avenue. The New Jersey Avenue line will not issue a transfer at H Street. Northwest. Under these conditions citizens are handicapped in securing direct travel between certain points. If the merger is not accomplished, the Public Utilities Commission, he said, can at least order full transfer facilities. Bundles Brought Friday night was set aside for bundle night, and every member brought a large bundle. The bundles were turned over to J. C. Payne, principal of the John F. Cook School, for distribution. Ray A. Clarke, chairman of the committee to make a charity survey, reported on his accomplishment. His report covered the migratory boys, the tuberculosis status and needy families, including the rental situation. It was comprehensive and well received. The president, Miss Corrine E. Martin, named the chairmen of the various committees for the year's work. Washington Driver Fined $100 in Automobile Death Karl Brown, of Washington, was ordered to pay a fine of $100 and costs or serve 60 days in jail by Judge Arthur D. Willard in the circuit court at Rockville, Md., last Friday after he was found guilty of manslaughter. Brown was driving an automobile of Paul F. Myers, of Chevy Chase, Md., when it struck and fatally injured Walter E. Early, white, also of Washington, near Hyattstown. Because of extenuating circumstances, pleas for clemency were made by the jury the State's attorney and a number of county residents. Receiverships Justice Oscar R. Luhring has taken under advisement a request by the receivers of some Wardman-built properties for $60,000 additional compensation, following caustic criticism of the fees by William B. O'Connell, attorney representing minority bondholders, who declared such compensation was "outrageous." Mr. O'Connell said that receiverships have become a "racket" in Washington, though he disavowed any reflection on the particular receivership in question, saying that he was speaking of receiverships in general. * * * * Several Negro insurance companies are in the hands of receivers. * * * * Two Good Smiles From the current issue of the Dunbar Observer we get two smile provokers: In Victor Lawson's column we get the following: "Sir, your car is at the door." "Yes, I hear it knocking." Another one of his paragraphs reads: "Found — a purse containing $5.00. Will the owner please form a line in Mr. Saunders's office?" Good wholesome wit and humor in our young are worthy of as much encouragement as is the encouragement of things seemingly more serious. * * * * Writing witty scripts for radio features is a paying and open field. Tune-in Mozart's opera, "Don Giovanni", will be brought to the radio audience in its entirety for the first time when the complete opera is broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City over a nation-wide N.B.C.-WJZ network (WMAL) on Saturday, from 1:45 to 5:15 p.m. The magazine, "Variety," states that the Mills Brothers, colored radio stars, receive $2,500 weekly. Cafes It seems that Washington's lunch rooms, restaurants, cafes, etc., fall into the habit of offering their patrons the same dishes over and over. I know; I am a frequent visitor to many of them. To get a variety of menus you have to go to first one and then the other. Further, it seems that it would be a good idea for restaurant owners to ask their patrons what they would like to have other than the food that is dished out so regularly. I am writing what hundreds of other cafe patrons have on their minds, but never express. Hominy and linked pudding cooked together is a good breakfast dish. ***** May a Negro Win A nation-wide competition for the LeBrun traveling scholarship of $1,400 is announced by the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects source of Architects.

JUDGE DIES WHO DROVE K.K.K. FROM PENNSYLVANIA JUDGE DIES WHO DROVE K.K.K. FROM PENNSYLVANIA PITTSBURGH, Pa. (CNS)—Federal Judge W. H. Seward Thomson, famed as the judge who dealt the Ku Klux Klan a knock-out blow here in 1928, died at his home last week. Judge Thomson was appointed to the Federal bench in the Western District of Pennsylvania in 1914 by President Wilson. He retired from the bench in 1927, telling President Coolidge that the increasing duties of his office, largely because of liquor cases, made too many demands on a man of his years. He disapproved of prohibition, and the Jones law particularly, as unwise legislation. Under the judicial code he was enabled to retire and to maintain the privilege of presiding in court cases whenever his strength permitted. It was as a "retired" judge in 1928, that the handed down his decision in the Ku Klux Klan case, after which the Klan virtually disappeared in this state. He ruled: "This unlawful organization, so destructive of the rights and liberties of the people, has come in vain in asking this court of equity for injunctive or other relief. They come with filth hands and can get no assistance here." Jduge Thomson was born in Beaver County, Pa., the son of Dr. Alex Thomson, a Scottish physician. He was educated at Powell's Academy in Kentucky, and at Marshall College at Huntington, W.Va. He practiced law in Beaver County for twelve years, and in Pittsburgh for twenty years before his appointment to the Federal court. While in practice here he achieved a reputation as an authority on constitutional law. He received the honorary degree of doctor of laws from Washington and Jefferson University in 1915. In 1887 he married Miss Mary E. Imbric. MOTORS TO PITTSBURGH TO SEE INJURED RELATIVE Mr. and Mrs. Anthony C. Hunter, 232 Fourteenth Street, Southeast, and Mrs. Mary C. Hunter and Mrs. Sarah Young, of 712 G Street, Northeast, motored to Pittsburgh last Friday morning to visit Leonard Carruthers, brother of Mrs. Mary C. Hunter. Mr. Carruthers, who lives at 800 Gearing Avenue in Pittsburgh, received a fractured skull and a broken leg in an automobile accident about two weeks ago. At the time of their visit Mr. Carruthers was in the hospital and is expected to recover. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE DECEMBER 16.1932 Drama Important in the Church The Writer Calls Attention to the Dramatic Material in the Scriptures; Cites Books on the subject. Southernaires Quartette Famous Radio Stars in person GRAND CONCERT AT Metropolitan A.M.E. Church 1518 M ST., N.W. Friday, December 16th, at 8:15 P.M. "Don't miss this Great Treat" ADMISSION 50 CENTS By GERTRUDE PARTHENIA McBROWN Although it is true that we do give plays and pageants occasionally in our churches, we have not for the most part accepted "the Drama" as a significant factor in the religious and social life of the church. There are many who look with an unfavorable eye upon the few churches maintaining organizations embracing acting and the allied arts. They think of the "Little Theatre" in the church as an organization entirely out of key with the religious atmosphere which should prevail in the holy edifice. Bible Filled With Dramatic Material And yet, the Bible is full of dramatic material. We cannot read the book of Genesis without feeling that we are in the midst of real life, warm with human interest and fluctuating passions. In Genesis we have the beginning of a great drama. In Exodus, the great national emigration, the drama heightens. Ponder over the dramatic appeal of the orations and songs of Moses as he bids farewell to his people. Feel with him through his four orations, and finally, see him at the last stage of action when he takes in at a single view the vast multitude and lifts his hands in the final blessing: "There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun, Who rideth upon the heaven for thy help. And in his excellency on the skies. The eternal God is thy dwell-ing place And underneath are the everlasting arms." "The Green Pastures" Those of us who saw Marc Connelly's miracle play, "The Green Pastures," know with what skill the dramatic incidents are handled. We experienced a gripping bit of drama as we watched the weary Israelites marching on to Canaan, and finally, Moses, leaning on "De Lawd," climbing Mt. Pisgah to view the Promised Land. When the curtain fell on this magnificent piece of acting—I should say this supreme piece of living—of Moses and "De Lawd," we were made to fully realize that in "the Drama" we run the gamut of emotions, feel the heart beats of humanity and grow nearer "the Divine." Jesus a Dramatist Do we not know of numerous incidents in which Jesus dramatized situations to vitalize his teachings? The Master believed in making things concrete. I think of Jesus as the forerunner of all modern educators, in that He was the pioneer in the field of active and visual education. Modern educators have found that along with this vital teaching element, dramatics have many other things to offer. Dramatics with its large religious and social significance is a fertile field for the cultivation of happiness. The field of dramatics aesthetically, spiritually and even physically cannot be over estimated. In speaking of dramatics, an eminent critic says: "Aesthetically, the actor is awakened to the beautiful and worthwhile in literature; spiritually, he is aroused to higher standards of living; physically he responds, realizing that a well poised body is necessary to play a character part; mentally he attains alertness which results from the foregoing attributes." Both Actor and Audience Benefited The field of drama is one of the greatest avenues for self cultivation and realization. An actor cannot interpret his role effectively without developing self realization. While it is true that the actor receives the greatest benefits, the audience shares abundantly in the blessings of the drama. Speaking specifically of the religious drama, we find that the English drama had its origin in the church when a hundred years before the Norman Conquest there developed in various parts of Europe simple dramatizations of the life and death of Christ. On Easter morning there was a representation of the tomb in which the crucifix had been placed on Good Friday. The Angel, a priest—chanted: "Whom seek ye in the sepulcher?" The other priests or nuns responded: "Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified." A similar trope was introduced for Christmas. These tropes grew until there were a series of dramas making impressive the story of the birth, life and resurrection of Christ. Old Testament a Rich Source Among the dramatizations developed from the Old Testament were scenes depicting "The Fall of Lucifer," "The Creation and Fall of Man," and also scenes from the earlier parts of the Bible, such as "The Sacrifice of Isaac," and the story of Noah. And of course, we must not omit the famous "Shepherds' Play," we can still hear the angels singing: "Glory to God in the Highest." With the approach of Christmas, we will soon be enjoying a number of plays expressing the Yuletide spirit. Does it not seem feasible that the Christmas play groups be formed into definite organizations for furthering the religious and social life of the church? If this were done, the pastor could call on a supporting cast at any time to assist him in vitalizing his message. W him in mind, we would enjoy reading "The Art of Producing Pageants," by Esther Willard Bates, "Dramatized Bible Stories and Dramatized Missionary Stories" by Mary Russell, "How to Produce Religious Drama" by Free Eastman, "Women of the Bible" by Walter Ben Hare, "Bible Parables in Pantomime" by Eleanor Wood Whitman, and "Bible Dramatics" by James Watt Raine. DISTRICT HEROINES ENTERTAIN SISTER MARYLAND COURT The Grand Court of Heroines of Jericho of the District and jurisdiction with Rosa P. Carter, G.M.A.M., and Walter J.

Negro Miners Trapped by Dust Explosion in Kentucky Pit Capital News Service HARLAN, Ky.—Twelve Negroes and ten white men were trapped in the pit of the Zero mine of the Harlan Fuel Company at Yancey, six miles south of here December 9 by a dust explosion which occurred about a mile and a half from the entrance. In the group of seventeen dead were six sons of J. M. Masengill, white, seventy-eight years old. The accident was one of few to occur in years in Harlan County, which was the scene nearly two years ago of bloody strife between deputies and mine guards on one side and striking miners on the other. Approximately a dozen lives were lost in the series of clashes, and more than a score of miners were convicted of murder charges. Their appeals still are pending. Nurse and School Teacher Patients at Carson's Miss Roberta Walton, graduate nurse at Carson's Hospital, was among the eleven new patients operated on at the hospital early this week. Miss Walton's condition was reported as good. Others undergoing operations were: Ralph Nelson, 529 Florida Avenue, Northwest; Mrs. Claudia H. Grant, 330 College Street, Northwest, local junior high school teacher; Frances Walker, 3222 Sherman Avenue, Northwest; Mrs. Nettie Lee, of Arlington; Mrs. Hilda Moore, 2645 Sheridan Road, Southeast; Mrs. Helen Bellups, 115 Adams Street, Northwest; Charles Johnson, 456 Virginia Avenue, Southwest; Leon Downing, 1627 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest; Mrs. Virginia Washington, 463 Florida Avenue, Northwest; and Harriet Robinson, 2714 Georgia Avenue, Northwest.

An editorial printed in the October issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association gives the following warning: Persons who accept statistics at their face value may be deceived by the excellent health record for 1932, which on the face of official returns, persists in spite of economic depression and, according to some writers, partly at least because of the depression. We are told to look for the hidden meaning of these figures. The decrease of industrial accidents and industrial diseases when unemployment increases are to be considered. Traffic accidents are less with less cars on the streets. And what of malnutrition, which may not have an immediate effect? The Journal says: The public must look much further than merely at a current figure for the ultimate effects of a depression. Just as the European central powers are still paying the penalty of malnutrition among their children so must we expect to experience in the future some of the effects of what economic distress, curtailed employment and enforced economy are doing to our people today. Children will be the ones to suffer most from malnutrition now but will show it mostly in the future. Sanitation, lack of dental and hygienic attention will certainly take their toll among children. By following health reports we find a decline in births and rising ratio of still births. Our health may be affected for the next fifteen years as the result of our present economic breakdown. Think of the mother with her little children around her today, huddled in a cold room, without sufficient food and proper clothes. How long will it take those children to outlive this retardation in their growth? We think President Hoover has been more than unwise in stressing the deceptive death rates as signs of national good health. BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS. Many of the cities in the South, all of which have a smaller Negro population than Washington, have from one to three building and loan associations owned and operated by Negroes. What is wrong with us that we can not organize and operate such helpful institutions here?

Week-End Mosaics By Algernon B. Jackson, M.D. THE FIRST AND ONLY Almost every time I get among a group of high-brow Negroes I hear some one start in to eulogize himself by declaring he is or is was the first to break some tradition or custom which more or less circumscribes our race. Most certainly I have no fault to find with anyone who hitches his wagon to the stars. It is a most commendable thing to do and we should all be proud of him. But it does become something of a nuisance when others not to be outdone begin to tell how they also are the first and only. The progress made by Negroes in this fretful biased civilization is little short of remarkable and we all take just pride in such accomplishment. What a wonderful and worth while record it would make if in some way we could tabulate for future generations the names and deeds of those who belong to the First and Only Group. Our struggle to get somewhere has not been an easy one and we have every right to be proud of our step by step advancement. My great concern, however, comes from my experiences with many of this First and Only Group. Too often they are so saturated with the greatness of their own accomplishment that they lose sight of us little fellows whom they might help. There is always grave danger in self-exaltation. The very moment one becomes so exalted that he loses the common touch with common people he has made a failure of his life and unfitted himself for that service which we have every right to expect from genius. It is a fine thing to be the first and only, but it becomes rather nauseating always to hear of the fact and never hear from it in a way helpful to less fortunate folks. The one great difference between a hurricane and some folks is that a hurricane stops blowing sometime. FOUR .

EDITORIAL FEATURES KELLY MILLER SAYS: A Ban on Foreign Indigent Students Blow to Howard Dean Miller Points Out the Significance of the Barring of Self-Supporting Seekers for Knowledge. The press reports that the Department of Labor has issued an order barring foreign students who are dependent on self-help in securing their education. The plausible excuse alleged is that this precaution is necessary for the protection of American work-folk from foreign competition. On first view one would be inclined to sav that our alien collegiate contingent dependent on self-help is a negligible factor in the world of work. This narrow intolerant policy is strangely out of harmony with the broad catholic American spirit exhibited in the earlier years. America pointed a beckoning finger to the oppressed and persecuted of every land as a place where they might find asylum for the exercise of freedom of conscience and judgment. But now to present clenched fist to ambitious youth who hunger and thirst for knowledge and who seek to attain this goal through their own effort would be to reverse the glorious traditions of the past. FOREIGN STUDENTS NOT COUNTED IN QUOTAS No enlightened country shuts out foreign intellectual elite from its borders. In the higher intellectual realm there are no international border lines. In pursuance of this principle students and scholars are exempt from the restrictive quotas which apply to foreign immigrants. It is beneath the thought of the American people that these alien collegiate contingents might be tinged with distasteful political and economic and social theories. America would belittle its own mind to put an embargo on ideas. A protective tariff may at times be necessary in material matters, but there should always be unrestricted free trade in the realm of ideas. American institutions always have been willing to compete on equal terms with the political, economic and social theories and theorists of the world and have always won. A nation that would bar Einstein isolates itself from the blessings of human genius. By encouraging ambitious youth, handicapped by restrictions in their own homeland, to seek the development of their faculties by the more liberal allowances and facilities of American institutions of learning, this country would thereby show itself to be the benefactor of human aspiration as it has always been from its foundation. The greatest nation in the world cannot shunt itself off from the tide of movement now sweeping throughout the world. HOWARD UNIVERSITY GREATLY CONCERNED The order of the Department of Other Papers Say: In the leading editorial for the December issue of the Southern Workman, President Arthur Howe, of Hampton Institute writes as follows under the heading, "A New Rural Program Needed": "Once again the entire economic world appears to be impressed with the importance of the farm. It has become evident that there is a limitation on the number of people who can live happily away from the soil; the larger becomes the number leaving this fundamental source of life, the greater becomes the economic importance of those who remain. "Realizing that is a basic process in life, educators today would do well to consider anew their responsibilities for the development of rural districts. For whatever other aims education may have, one of its foremost purposes is to train people to adjust themselves to the demands of the world they face; this calls for better educational facilities in rural communities, for those returning because of grim necessity, as well as for those abiding there permanently. "So far, funds for rural education have not been sufficient to provide as up-to-date and efficient classroom facilities for country children as those that have been provided in urban areas. The salaries of teachers working in the country should be equal to that of teachers doing the same grade of work in more densely populated districts. "In this land where we believe THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. DECEMBER 16, 1932 Labor has perhaps greater significance to Howard University than to any other American institution. Howard University was designed principally for the Negro race and possesses not only national but international significance. It is supported in part by the federal government for the higher and professional education of the colored youth and derives its main student body from the several states where the Negroes are most thickly settled Howard enrolls around a hundred and fifty foreign students drawn principally from the West Indies and the Caribbean islands. There are some thirty million persons of African descent in the Western world. This tropical people are found about the tepid waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Howard University is the outstanding finishing school which attracts the whole group. These islands are too scattered and far between to maintain severely institutions of university rank and grade. Hence the longing eyes of their most ambitious youth turn to this international intellectual center for the colored race. WEST INDIAN STUDENTS EARN THEIR OWN WAY These students are for the most part very poor and are put to the necessity of earning their own way through school. If the Labor Department's order were put into effect it would cut short the intellectual ambition of practically all of them. The results of this estoppel is worthy of serious consideration. The United States is assuming sovereignty or suzerainty over more and more of these islands. Already the Panama Canal Zone, Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands have fallen wholly under American authority and control. Super-sovereignty is asserted over Cuba by the Platt Act. The United States has recently intervened in Santo Domingo and Havti. The Monroe Doctrine confers the obligation of seeing that orderly democratic governments are maintained in the Western Hemisphere. Our paramount interest in the Panama Canal demands that we safeguard the passage-way to its entrance at all hazards. CARRIBBEANS SHOULD BE AMERICANIZED The adjacent archipelago is inhabited chiefly by peoples of Negrio blood. Our national wellbeing demands that these peoples should be fully indoctrinated with the basic principles of Americanism under sympathetic conditions which do not ruffle their racial sensibilities. This can best be done by encouraging the most ambitious and capable youth to learn of the secret and method of our institutions at an attractive university center with a congenial social atmosphere. Race prejudice is an all pervasive influence which we are forced to recognize and reckon with. Howard University is a national Negro institution which appeals to youth of this blood from all the ends of the earth. It serves a national as well as an international function as a seat of learning of the aspirant Negro youth throughout the Western Hemisphere. in equal opportunity for all, no one will deny that the country boy and girl deserve as good teaching and as good school facilities as do any other members of society. To this end, the campaign to have satisfactory budgets for country schools is in order. "The arguments for agencies now serving isolated communities in matters of agriculture, health, and home-making to become indigenous are numerous. This situation can best be met by a suitable curriculum in the hands of persons capable of creative thinking in the schools of the rural districts. Such a program should not only provide grade instruction for our children, but should also serve adults in their problems of production, marketing, and home-making." TWAIN LOVERS We came with dawn and moon is here, But eve may come too soon. But eve may come too soon. But none the less we twain have met To weave a love cocoon. It seems as though a spark divine Descended from above. And set a flame our fragile hearts With great immortal love. The twain has blended into one No mortal can divide; Our love has grown to ecstasy, The kind that poets pride. There may be stormy days, my dear, Ahead on life's rough sea; But we will man our ship of love Throughout eternity. Duke Kameha. A struggle between two pythons over the possession of a 25-pound pig resulted in the death of one of the big snakes at the Philadelphia (Pa.) Zoological Gardens. Term "Negress" an Offensive Designation Some Persons Who Use the Term Mean No Disrespect but Most Persons Do So Use It. By CARTER G. WOODSON Editor of the Journal of Negro History I have just been invited to address in Philadelphia a mass meeting to wage war against referring to the colored woman as a "Negress." This custom of thus referring to our women has become so offensive that persons of other races using this term run the risk of being insulted. I know that I would become righteously indignant if any one addressed in this fashion a lady in my presence. I take the same inalterable position toward the use of such terms as "darky," "auntie," and "uncle." I regret very much that because of another engagement that I shall not be able to serve my friends in Philadelphia, for I would enjoy expressive a thought on the effort they have decided to make. Yet I am not sure that they would be pleased with what I would have to say. LET US SEEK THE CAUSES OF OUR CONTEMNING My method of dealing with such matters differs considerably from their procedure. These women seem to be desirous of treating the symptoms of the disease rather than the disease itself. I would approach the problem another way. It may be that certain persons have used "darky" as a term of endearment and that when referring to a colored woman as a "Negress" they do not intend any more offense than when they refer to the Hebrew woman as a "Jewess." But there is a preponderating majority using these expressions to signify disrespect, contempt, and loathsomeness in referring to Negroes. The important thing to do in this case, then, is to get at the causes of such an undesirable usage of words which once may have had a different meaning. WHY ARE CERTAIN DESIGNATIONS OFFENSIVE? Why, then, does the word "Negress" like the word "Negro" arouse the thought of shiftlessness, inefficiency, and social impossibility in the mind of white men and the feeling of anger, shame, and depression in that of Negroes? The Negro has been libelled and slandered in literature, through the press, and (a the rostrum. He has been physical, and mentally enslaved, and here in America he has all but lost the moral courage to fight against his oppressor. So many of us, too, have lost respect for ourselves; and, therefore, cannot command the respect of others. Since many of us treat our women as if they were not better than dogs, we are ineffective when we object to others who do likewise. WE MUST DIGNIFY OUR OWN WOMANHOOD Unless we learn to dignify womanhood among ourselves and do something to protect our women the world will not change its attitude toward them. Holding mass meetings and passing resolutions to expurgate the dictionary will not solve this serious problem. If we succeed in doing for our women what other races have done for theirs, we shall have no trouble in securing recognition for them in the most exclusive social circles of the world. Terms now considered opprobrious when addressed to them will become expressions of profound respect and ardent admiration. At such meetings as may be held to improve our women I would urge that something constructive be undertaken. If we intend to elevate our women we must find employment for them. Other races have discovered that unemployment is the cause of the degradation of most women. RUSSIA HAS SHOWN THE WAY Russia, therefore, in spite of its other errors, must be commended for its effort to eliminate prostitution by providing employment for single women. Our women, too, cannot be expected to do better than others who go down to moral deprivation when debased to drudgery in contact with the lower element of both races. Unfortunately, too, some of us who employ women pull them down rather than lift them up. You would be surprised to know the large number of our distinguished men for whom respectable women cannot work. Often before a woman has been in such a one's office a week he wants to fiddle and caress her. The next step is to take her out to dinner; and finally it becomes a fait accompli. His business establishment, then, changes into a trysting place; and soon the employer and employee have the opportunity to live on unpleasant memories. PUT EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN ON HIGHER PLANE Finding employment for our women, then, must be put on a higher level. They must be impressed with the seriousness of responsibility and must be given the opportunity to function efficiently in the new program of reconstruction DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL COVERING THE COUNTRY I have been asked to publicly analyze a statement made in this column a few weeks ago ("I Give Thanks") wherein I stated that this syndicated column appeared simultaneously in over fifty colored publications regularly and in half that many more at various intervals. **** For the first time since the establishment of this column I have taken the trouble to arrange and compile this information and I am surprised to learn that in a little less than three years this column now appears in fifty-three papers, published in forty-seven different towns in twenty-five states and the District of Columbia. These papers are: Alabama—the Informer, the Times, and the World in Birmingham, and the World in Selma. Arkansas—the World in Marianna. Arizona—the Gleam in Phoenix. California—the news, and the New-Age Dispatch in Los Angeles. Colorado—the Statesman in Denver. District of Columbia—the Tribune in Washington. Florida—Sentinel, and the World in Jacksonville; the Times in Miami; and the Bulletin in Tampa. Georgia—the Daily World in Atlanta, and the Tribune in Savannah. Indiana—the American in Gary. Illinois—the Bee in Chicago. Kansas—the Plaindealer in Kansas City; the Whip in Topeka, and the Star in Wichita. Kentucky—the Leader in Louisville. Louisiana—the Broadcast in Monroe; the Weekly in New Or- for the Negro in the modern world. Our women have not been taken into our scheme of things. They have been carried along as a class capable of exploitation or treated as necessary evils in the struggle of man with grave problems. Instead of merely registering a project against the use of offensive terms addressed to Negroes, I would organize neighborhood associations in Philadelphia with a membership secured by a house-to-house canvass of all Negro families. NE NEED EFFECTIVE CONSUMERS' LEAGUES I would develop out of these groups a city-wide consumers' league to establish and support enterprises in the area settled by Negroes and to compete beyond these limits for trade in other areas. I would try to arouse the women to the extent of doing their part in making the Negro just as much a producer as a consumer. In this way struggling Negro enterprises now about to totter would be able to endure the present ordeal. The insurance company in that city would have a new lease on life; and the bank would become a financial asset to the community. Other enterprises would thereby be made necessary, and employment would increase. In other words, by using the resources at hand we can do for ourselves what we beg others to do for us. From such constructive effort, too, we may get an increasing confidence in ourselves and do certain things which others have not undertaken. AS BIG ENTERPRISES FAIL, SMALL ONES HAVE CHANCE In these days all things are possible. The world is passing through a period of transition when the redistribution of wealth is being effected by the depression. As the gigantic enterprises crumble in the disaster, smaller enterprises become possible. We do not have to sit around in the barber shop wishing for economic readjustment through volcanic eruption. It is coming gradually every day. Will the Negro have sense enough to recognize it when he sees it? Will he have enough initiative to make use of the opportunity when it comes? People who eternally expect all blessings to come from without will never profit by any sort of upheaval. To meet these exigences the Negro does not need more of the so-called organizations already engaged in the whereas-therefore-be-it-resolved effort to solve the race problem. What we need to do is to wipe out about ninety-nine per cent of our organizations and put the Negro to work on the problem of making a living and spending his leisure profitably. We need to get rid of our disorganizing organizers by forcing them to earn their bread in some profitable occupation. They see clearly what should be done, but they prefer to spend their time theorizing and complaining. THE RACE LACKS DEFINITE PROGRAMS When you think of the little now being done to develop the Negro you have to wonder how we get along as well as we do. The Negro press is about to assert its independence, but we have no program in politics, none in education, none in religion, none in social uplift, and none in business. We merely do in these spheres what we are told to do; and in proportion as we do these things we are called successful by those whom we so diligently serve. It is seldom that Negroes thus functioning ever give *** jeans; and the Sun in Shreveport, Michigan—the Independent and the People's News in Detroit.

Many other publishers, for years, have been co-operating by sending me an "exchange" copy of their publication each week. their own people a thought. They are apparently satisfied in having others think for them. GIVE THE WOMEN MORE VOICE: IT WILL HELP US Sometimes I am inclined to believe that if the women had more voice in our affairs we would be much better off. Our women are so much better than our men. It may be that they are not inherently so, but men have doubtless been touched by so many foul things of life that they have lost their sincerity and honesty. Certainly the women are more faithful to our people, and they do more for the elevation of the unfortunate element than our men, who too often use their ascendancy in leadership for the exploitation of the unenlightened. If the women can be organized to operate efficiently in some of these neglected spheres there may be an excuse for their frequent meetings. If like the men, however, they are to indulge in periodical frothing at the mouth until the political bosses come along with a pittance to buy them up in job lots, these meetings should be abandoned. The so-called leadership of the race has not yet reached a higher level than selling out. What is due to the credit of the race has been largely the achievements of individuals who have succeeded in spite of being disgraced.

YOUTH'S CORNER By ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB Christmas Greetings As Christmas is but a short time away, I suppose that I could best start this week's column by attempting to inject a bit of the good old Yuletide spirit into the hearts and minds of you, my devoted constituents. At no other time of the year is there such a wonderful manifestation of self-sacrifice, unselfish service, and of devotion to others than is evidenced by the people of all Christendom at this particular season of the year. To you who have become chagrined and demoralized by the fickleness of an uncertain fate—I say, lift up your chins. It could be worse, couldn't it? To you who have lost faith and hope in mankind and the Divine one, I say, spur up your courage, and gird your armor with thankfulness for the breath of life that still enables you to witness the coming of another Christmas tide.

He is 24 years old, secretary of the Owls, unmarried, and a native of Philadelphia.

HERBERT HARRIIS, WHO WILL OPEN De Luxe LUNCHON ETTE IN THE NEW ODD FELLOWS' BUILDING SECOND SECTION BEST NEWS OF THE NATION SUPERINT JIM CROW SIGNS STILL HANGING AT WATER WORKS Letter States 50 Workmen Forced to Use One The Jim crow signs in the District Water Works garage at 204 Bryant Street, Northwest, were still hanging in place on the favorites late Thursday evening. A recent letter by colored employees of the water pumping station to the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stated that fifty men were compelled to use one lavatory. The letter said there are 75 whites and 50 colored men employed in the building. Men Seek Relief Men Seek Renter According to the letter there are 15 lavatories and colored are permitted to use only one. The men in the department are asking relief from this condition. Workmen at the Water Works told a Tribune representative this week that segregation signs were posted in other departments of the buildings several months ago and when a protest was lodged with District officials the offensive signs were ordered removed. Delegation Insulted Last week a delegation that called on W. V. Robinson, a white official in charge of the garages, was insulted and told, "Don't bother me," when the jim crow signs were pointed out to him. Later the delegation protested to D. W. Holton, superintendent of the water department, and this official stated that he would investigate the matter. He had done nothing about the signs up to Thursday. If Holton refuses to take action this week a protest will be lodged with the District Commissioners. Other civic organizations have become interested in the segregation signs and plan to take action if the signs are not removed this week. Miss Mable Taylor, the secretary of the Washington, D.C., Council of the Young Negroes' Co-Operative League, announces that the bakery project sponsored by that organization is working out successfully.

RICHARDSON PAID TRIBUTE AT TESTIMONIAL DR. RICHARDSON PAID TRIBUTE AT TESTIMONIAL Retiring President of Federated Civic Associations Highly Lauded Dr. George H. Richardson, retiring president of the Federated Civic Associations, was tendered a banquet and testimonial, Friday night in the junior ball room of the Masonic Temple. About one hundred representatives from the nineteen associations making up the federation were present. Tribute was paid to Dr. Richardson for his long public service in addresses by Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, who spoke of him as "a member of the board of education." James G. Yaden, president of the Federation of Citizens' Associations, white, brought greetings from his association. The commissioners of the District of Columbia were represented by Lieut. R. E. York, assistant engineer commissioner. Howard University was represented by Dean Kelly Miller and Dr. Emmett J. Scott. The Citizens' Advisory Council, to which Dr. Richardson is a delegate of the Federated Civic Associations, was represented by Attorney W. H. Lewis, Jr. The Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, could not fill the place assigned him on the program, but sent a fine letter on "George H. Richardson." A presentation of a large chair and smoking stand was made by George T. Beason, president of the Rock Creek Association. In responding to the fine tribute paid him, Dr. Richardson showed signs of being deeply touched by the occasion. Dr. Richardson is a graduate of the law and medical schools of Howard University. He was a former member of the board of education of the District and was the founder and first president of the Federated Civic Associations here. He was their first choice for delegate to the Citizens' Advisory Council. Since it is through the citizens' associations that the voteless citizens of Washington get representation and contact the local government, Dr. Richardson's position for the past ten years has been an important one to the Negroes of the District. His long unselfish service has endeared him to thousands of citizens here. He is also president of the Public Interest Civic Association, and is a member of Calvary P.E. Church. Mrs. Richardson, who accompanied her husband, was presented with a large bouquet by Mrs. M. Thompson. Dr. E. F. Harris was master of ceremonies and George W. Beasley, who succeeded Dr. Richardson as preside of the Federated Civic Association, presided. Music was furnished by the high school orchestra under the direction of Henry L. Grant. Knights of Pythias Initiate 200 Members The Knights of Pythias of the District of Columbia initiated their first class of 200 new members into the rank of knight, Monday night, and will close the initiation with a reception to the new brothers tonight (Friday). The feature of the reception will be a concert by the Male Chorus of Asbury M.E. Church. According to an announcement by Grand Cancellor Charles W. Neal such a large number of men have never before been initiated into the lodge at one time. The membership campaign will continue for three months until the goal of 500 new men is reached.

It will be about an hour in length, being divided into three parts: "Noah's Ark," "Nativity," and "The Voice of the Lord." Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., DECEMBER 16, 1932 Former Dunbar Student Heads Interracial Commission at University of Pittsburgh Former Dunbar Student Heads Interracial Commission at University of Pittsburgh Washington Youth Voted Competent Leader for 1932-33 by Students. Only Negro Among 70 Members on Glee Club By ROBERT H. COOLEY, JR. PITTSBURGH, Pa. (Special to the Tribune)—A select group of students, representing all departments and the eight nationalities enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh, recently organized an Interracial Commission under the supervision of W. H. Mendenball, who is the executive secretary of Pitt Y.M.C.A. In this group there are three Negro students and one of them, Harry K. Parker, was unanimously elected president, mostly because of his activities during last year. Teacher Dies Mr. Parker is a native of Washington, D.C., and a product of Dunbar High School in that city. He is now a junior at Pitt. Active in Extra-Curricula Activities This former Dunbar youth is an important coog in the wheel of Pitt extra activities. The glee club honored him last year by presenting him with a coveted gold key, as he is the radio soloist for the club. Incidentally Mr. Parker is the lone Negro among this collection of seventy students. His athletic proclivity is employed not only for his own pleasure but also for the benefit of his fellow students. At present, he instructs the freshman class in gymnasium at a regular schedule. There are several physical education organizations at Pitt, among which Mr. Parker is a member of Pitt Physical Education Professional Club, Discus Club, Physical Education Association Octet, and Pi Theta Mu. The latter is a national Greek letter physical education fraternity which had its inception at Pitt. Mr. Parker was its founder and first basileus. The current basketball season finds him active at forward on the Omega Five and the Holy Cross Athletic Club, which is a crack semi-pro aggregation of the Smoky City. Gives Services to City, Too Besides his varied interests on the campus at Pitt, Mr. Parker devotes much time to the interest of the city, particularly the Center Avenue branch of the Y.M.C.A. Here he is instructor in gymnastics as well as coach in German. Students of the three institutions of learning: Duquesne University, Carnegie Institute, and the University of Pittsburgh, have a discussion seminar which meets semi-monthly: the Pitt Lyceum. Mr. Parker is the program chairman and has established his proficiency is presenting such superb programs of the year as: a Political Forum (prior to November 8); All-Women's Musical Program; debate—"Resolved, That It Is Better for Negro Students to Attend White Colleges Than to Attend Negro Colleges." Good Student as Well Mindful of the undermining tendencies for one to satisfy himself in securing mediocre grades in his class work, as the result of such strenuous life of campus-city diverted interests, Mr. Parker is studious also. This is substantiated by the fact of his being on the Honor Roll at present, and also the basileus of Omicron Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, which ranks third in scholastic rating at Pitt among twenty other similar Greek fraternities. Mrs. Kelly, Elk Leader, Dies Suddenly in Norfolk Mrs. Emma V. Kelly, the mother and founder of the Daughter-Elks of the World and the grand daughter secretary, died early Wednesday morning in Norfolk, Va., according to word received here Wednesday. Mrs. Kelly had undergone an operation last week and apparently was in good condition when, it is reported, she was suddenly stricken with heart trouble. Charles Russell, Veteran Government Employe, Dies Funeral services for Charles Russell, veteran Government employee, will be held today (Friday) from his late residence, 1852 Third Street, Northwest.

Russell, and a brother, Louis Russell, of Philadelphia, another brother, Dr. Aaron A. Russell, and a sister, Mrs. Alice R. Payne, of Auburndale, Mass. Teacher Dies A.

Having completed his preparatory studies at the M Street High School in June 1910, he attended Catholic University for one year and then attended Howard University where he received his B.A. degree in 1914. Soon after his graduation Mr. Bohanan declined a position in the Department of English at Howard University to dedicate his life to the study of music. For a number of years he taught singing and in 1927 entered Columbia University in New York City to do graduate work in music. In 1928 he received his master's degree and a diploma as supervisor of school music, at the same time successfully completing the general examination for his Ph. D. While attending Columbia University he was elected a member of Kappa Delta Pi. He was also a member of Omega Psi Phi. Possessed of a voice of unusual range and quality, he sang in nine languages. His life's ambition to enter the concert field was about to be realized when he died. He was married December 24, 1931, to Florence Dulcia Coffer, a former classmate and teacher in public school 139, Manhattan and formerly a member of the faculty of public schools 143 and 75, Brooklyn. The following were among the messages of sympathy received: "We liked him greatly as a teacher and were proud of him as an artist with a brilliant future. In his passing DeWitt Clinton High School has suffered a real loss—" A. Montimer Clark, principal. Students of his section, "We have always considered Mr. Bohanan one of the finest, most considerate and lovable teachers in our school."

Negro Prisoner Decorates Walls of Prison Chapel Capital News Service OSSINING, N.Y.-Sing Sing prison authorities are loud in praise of the work of decorating the walls, windows and tapestries - recently completed in the prison chapel by Walter Brown, a Negro prisoner serving a term of twenty years to life. Brown, 49 years old, was convicted in Erie County seven years ago, of second degree murder. He has painted stage scenery and has done considerable mural decorating in the prison, but his talent is said to be demonstrated best by the task just finished in the chapel. THEATERS SPORTS Washington at Random by George T. Waugh THE NUMBERS The other dusk I was aimlessly sauntering down Washington's sepia Broadway deep in pre-Yuletide pensiveness, when some heedless knave stopped me for a match. Out of courtesy I stopped to give him a light, and the senseless fellow not being satisfied with having disturbed my solitude must further ruffle my compacency by trying to interest me in the lucky number for the morrow. What pests humans! If these numbers fanatics are so cock-sure that a certain number is going to win, then why not put all the money they can get on it for them of the philanthropic, then they need it. If, on the other hand, they savor of the philanthropic, then they should play it heavily for their friends and give them the profits. Maybe after all these seemingly generous folk are merely playing a little game in beguiling the weak and unsuspecting into "fattening the pot." What 'ere the case may be, I think it beastly unsportsmanlike to entice the other fellow into a game that they themselves are thoroughly disgusted with yet haven't moral courage enough to call it a day. THE ADOLESCENT MUST PLAY Collegiate Washington makes its nightly trek to "Ye Olde Lunch-onette" there to appease the gastronomic propensities and between mouthfuls to exchange the latest dirt. Some are even so gallant as to make what passes as love to the comely waitresses, cheap evening—very! Others, if funds are low, will straddle the counter chairs. And tirl merrily around with childish glee. I think of my childhood days—the carnival at the edge of the town, the merry-go-round where I would spend my pennies and the most of my time. I smile to myself as I move on for even now the adolescent must play. WHY GO TO RUSSIA? My eagle orb spotted a friend of mine further on the street who recently returned from Russia, where he went with some other trouppers to make a Negro film (luckily he returned). After shaking mitts we went into the usual huddle of two old school cronies who haven't seen each other for ages. We broke all records for wordage per minute. Ten minutes later when I emerged I was verbally out for the count. Aside from having an amateurish portrait of Russia, in the brief interlude I had even cultivated a tolerance for the Soviet five-year plan, something to which heretofore I had assumed a magnificent apathy. Russia is wonderful—that is for the Russians. But why go to Russia anyway to make scenes when scenes can be created anywhere? BEEK BARONS At the Pythian Temple (known to old timers as the True Reformers' Hall), a club of Washington's second rate beer harbors (yes, even the class system here) are having a dance. At the entrance a gang of would-be big shots are standing around trying to look as hard as possible and ballyhooing about their particular "racket." I had a satanic desire to poke faces and to yell bad names at them, but I dispensed with such droolery and, like a good boy, walked timidly on. THEATRE GOSSIP Bits of conversation from passing theatre goers: A rather rotund matron telling her companion that she was having her evening gown made like Garbo's—A weather-beaten old femme saying that she thought John Barrymore rather cold in his love-making—A giggling urchin telling a grown-up that he thought Grand Hotel a beautiful place By the time I had reached Fourteenth Street, I had a pretty good idea as to whether the play was good, bad, or indifferent. The advent of the talkies aside from boosting the king's English, have made of the "Haute Monde" a pretty critical sort.
