Sunday SchoolTeacher Carries Secret Love Affair to Her Grave Miss Thelma Seldon Dies in Hospital Following Illegal Operation REFUSES TO NAME FATHER OF CHILD Carrying her secret love affair to her grave locked in her breast despite the efforts of police and hospital physicians to learn the identity of her lover, Miss Thelma Seldon, 21-year-old church worker, died at Garfield Hospital, Tuesday, the 20th, without divulging the name of the father of her unborn child. Her funeral was held Sunday at Galbraith A.M.E. Zion Church, where she was known as an indefatigable worker and was identified with several organizations connected with the church. The last rites were performed by the Rev. W. D. Speight, pastor, assisted by the Rev. John Saunders. Olllegal Operation An autopsy performed by Dr. A. McGruder McDonald, deputy coroner, revealed that her death was caused by an illegal operation. Miss Seldon also refused to name the person who performed the operation, but told hospital authorities the person was a woman. Dr. Charles A. Allen, 1217 New Jersey Avenue, who was summoned to appear at the inquest which was held Saturday morning, testified that he was called to see Miss Seldon on December 14. He said that from her statements (Continued on page 2) PHYSICIAN SHOT THROUGH WINDOW BY UNKNOWN MAN Assailant Escapes After Firing Birdshot at Doctor's Form SAN ANTONIO, Texas—Dr. J. T. Walton, 930 Dawson Street, was shot in the head and shoulder last Monday night with a charge of birdshot from a shotgun in the hands of some unknown party who slipped up near a window of the doctor's Dawson Street residence and fired through the screen, window, and shade at the physician's shadow. The assailant escaped, as Bert Johnson, a boy who was at the Walton home is alleged to have rushed to the front door. Dr. Walton, who was preparing Christmas mementos at the time of the attack, was rushed to the Robert B. Green Hospital, where his injuries were pronounced not dangerous. Police, detectives, investigators, and friends of the wounded man immediately launched an investigation in an effort to run to earth the guilty party. Several clues are being run down by the police and sheriff's department, and it is expected that arrests will be made soon. Washington Tribune Vol. XII, No. 34 WAI oolTeacher secret Love Her Grave May Not Live Howard Simms, 24, 2548 Sheridan Road, Southeast, is in a serious condition at Casualty Hospital suffering with a bullet wound through the abdomen. The man was shot last week by Officer Homer Pierson, of No. 11 Precinct, during an encounter between the two. The policeman said that Simms was one of several men who tried to take a prisoner from him while waiting at a patrol box on Sheridan Road, Southeast, after telephoning for a patrol wagon. The policeman said Simms grappled with him and had him about the neck trying to throw him to the pavement when the policeman pulled his pistol and shot the man. Simms was taken to Casualty Hospital where physicians said, Wednesday, that he was not expected to live. The alleged altercation between the officer and Pierson took place after the policeman had arrested Jerome Briscoe, of the 2600 block of Sheridan Road, on a charge of disorderly conduct. TEACHER QUITS BANQUET GIVEN IN HER HONOR A testimonial banquet, which was given in honor of a retiring teacher, ended in confusion, Thursday afternoon when the guest of honor quit the banquet and refused to return. The affair was given by teachers of Cleveland School to Miss Virginia A. Jones, who will be retired December 31, after 41 years as a public school teacher. Miss Jones refused to discuss the banquet when seen at her home this week. She said there was a banquet, but she wasn't present. When asked to make a statement, the teacher flatly refused and said the less said about the affair the better it would be. Miss E. H. Holmes, principal of the school, also refused to talk of the banquet given in honor of one of her teachers. She asked that the affair be kept out of the papers. L. L. Perry, supervising principal, with offices in the school, asked that nothing be said of the affair. The token presented to Miss Jones had to be carried to her house by the janitor of the school in a taxicab. When he arrived Miss Jones was not at home. It was reliably reported that the retiring teacher spoke her mind to the gathered guests and quit the assembly. It was also said she gave the principal of the school as well as other school officers a "piece of her mind." Many Seek Productivity As a general rule teachers and retiring school employees are proud of affairs given in their honor, and for fear that testimonials may escape the papers they frequently ask for reporters to come and get an account of the affair. Quite a few send in articles themselves relating the various goodwill speeches. Several teachers interviewed this week admitted they were present, but all "had nothing to say." SMALL BOY DIES UNDER WHEELS OF BIG SAND TRUCK 9-Yr.-Old Howard Walker Killed by Hit and Run Driver While on his way to see an ambulance speed to a neighbor's house, 9-year-old Howard Walker, 944 Twenty-seventh Street, Northwest, was crushed under the wheels of a heavy sand truck, Thursday afternoon, and instantly killed. Walker and a small playmate, Norman Leo, a Francis Junior High School student, had been informed that a neighbor was ill and an ambulance had been summoned. The two boys walked to Twenty-fifth Street and Virginia Avenue to get a good view of the speeding machine. As they were about to cross twenty-fifth Street a heavy International truck loaded with sand and concrete made a left hand turn into Virginia Avenue and crushed the life out of the small boy, the Lee boy said. Small Boy Only Witness Lee was the only eye-witness to the tragedy. The small fellow made an excellent witness and told a straightforward story of how he and Howard were on their way to see the ambulance "run." He told a coroner's jury at the District Morgue, Saturday morning, that Howard was walking in front as the two started across the street. He said they thought the truck was going to keep straight out Twenty-fifth street when it suddenly made a left-hand turn close to the curb. Howard, who was already in the street, was hurled beneath the wheels of the truck. The driver of the machine kept on and did not heed the calls of Norman. Police were of the opinion that the driver did not see the small boys as an investigation by Detective Sergeant John C. Dalglish, of the homicide squad, revealed that it is impossible for a driver of the type of truck that killed the boy to see an object less than 15 feet from the machine. Police said the noise of the heavy machine evidently drowned the cries of Norman. Lee was carried to Emergency Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A round-up of all International truck drivers in the city by police showed that five had been hauling sand from Georgetown to downtown government buildings. These drivers were summoned and all denied that they had been on Twenty-fifth Street. They stated that they traveled Twenty-sixth Street, and a check-up revealed that all had made their last load after the accident. Other loads had been made earlier in the day. Drivers summoned were Roy E. Thornton, Halls Hill, Va.; Harry L. Brady, white; John Jackson; Max Gardner, white; and John E. Luvel, white. Walker was a student at Briggs-Montgomery School and is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Walker.

HUNDREDS JAM STREET TO GET CHRISTMAS AID THE WORKING CLASS THERE WAS NO COLOR LINE here when hundreds of needy gathered for the annual police Christmas party. The photograph shows part of the crowd Saturday morning as they lined up to receive their holiday baskets at the Fourth Precinct, in Southeast Washington. The line formed at dawn and by noon had so increased in size as to swamp the small army of police and volunteer workers. Men and boys were taken out of the line and pressed into service to help fill baskets. The baskets issued were bushel size and were filled to the brim and contained enough food to last the average family through the holidays—Photo courtesy Daily News. BAGNALL DROPPED FROM N.A.A.C.P. PERSONNEL NEW YORK—Reduction of the national office staff and a third drastic cut this year in the salaries of those remaining, were announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People following report to the board of directors of a special budget committee to deal with the association's sharply reduced income owing to the industrial world crisis. Three members of the staff are dropped. They are Robert W. Eagall, director of branches, and two clerks.

EMPLOYEES CLAIM WHITES RECEIVED MORE XMAS MONEY Some fifty colored employees of the Westchester Apartments, 4000 Cathedral Avenue, Northwest, claim that they were many dollars short in their share of Christmas money last week when the managers of the fashionable house asked tenants to make no gifts to employees as in former years, but all might contribute to a common fund and the money distributed on a pro rata basis to all. Colored hallmen and elevator operators assert that white employees received more than colored. It was also stated that what money was given employees was by checks of the Westchester Development Corporation. Several colored employees said that in former years they have received as high as $50, but this year many get checks for (Continued on page two) DU BOIS RETRACTS SCOTT ARTICLE IN CRISIS Says Intended No Reflection on Integrity or Ability NEW YORK.—Declaring that "it was furthest from his mind to reflect upon the integrity, ability or zeal in behalf of Howard University" of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of that institution, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis magazine, in the January number just issued, "cheerfully withdraws" statements contained in an article published in last April's issue of the Crisis. The editorial statement of Dr. DuBois follows: HOWARD AGAIN In the April, 1932, issue of the Crisis there appeared an editorial entitled "Again Howard." The statements contained in that editorial were based upon information emamating from sources which the editor believed to be reliable. These statements came from sources favoring but one side of a controversy involving the president, secretary-treasurer, and a certain group of the trustees of Howard University. We desire to make it perfectly clear that it was furthest from our mind to injure Dr. Scott or to reflect upon his integrity, ability, or zeal in behalf of Howard University. If the statements contained in said editorial have injured the secretary-treasurer in any way, we are sorry and cheerfully withdraw any word of ours that reflected upon him or upon any member of the board. When the allegedly libelous article appeared last April it was immediately challenged by the Howard official in a public statement. A libel suit claiming damages in the sum of $50,000 was filed by Dr. Scott's attorneys, Messrs. Powers, Kaplan & Berger, of New York City. The time for Dr. Du Bois to put in an answer to the complaint was extended on numerous occasions. No answer has yet been filed in the court. It is reported that the suit will be discontinued in view of the present retraction. Henry A. Uterhart, attorney for Dr. Du Bois, according to Powers, Kaplan & Berber, asked for several extensions of time to file an answer to the suit. In the latter part of November the attorney for Dr. Du Bois arranged a conference with Powers, Kaplan & Berger, attorneys for Dr. Scott, at which time it was agreed that the retraction which is appearing in the January issue of the Crisis be published. Fire, Believed to Have Been Set, Damages Rooms A fire of undetermined origin which broke out in the front and rear rooms at 116 Rovers Court, Northwest, early this week, caused slight damage to both rooms.

DePRIEST GETS $460.000 ITEM FOR PURPOSE Forces Quorum; Secures Record of Yea and Nay Votes By J. A. G. LuValle By a vote of 138 to 105, Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, succeeded Tuesday with his motion to recommit the Interior Department appropriation bill so that an item of $460,000 for a heath and power plant at Howard University, could be inserted. An amendment containing the item was added, the bill as amended was reported to the House, read three times, passed and sent on to the Senate, where it may be challenged. Mr. DePriest spoke on this amendment two weeks ago. He made an attempt Thursday of last week to have the bill recommitted, forcing Speaker Garner to adjourn the House for lack of a quorum. The House adjourned until Tuesday, when the bill, the first order of business, was duly passed. Demands Roll Call. With but a few members on the House floor during consideration of the bill, December 22, DePriest unsuccessfully sought to have the item added. After the measure was ready for passage, he, a Republican, moved to have the bill sent back to the appropriations committee, with instructions to insert the item, which was opposed by Chairman Byrns on the ground that it had not been recommended by the budget. (Continued on page 2) BUTCHER CHOPS MAN TO DEATH WITH CLEAVER INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Abi Nisenbaum, white, 21 years old, operator of a grocery store at 437 West Fifteenth Street, was arrested and slated for murder following the death in the City Hospital early Thursday morning of John Johnson, 1210 Mill Street, who the white man is alleged to have chopped in the head with a meat cleaver following a fight in Nisenbaum's store Monday of last week. Nisenbaum is alleged to have slipped up behind and chopped Johnson in the head with the cleaver after the fight in which Johnson is said to have gotten the best of Nisenbaum. Johnson was leaving the store on his way home following the fight, witnesses said. Nisenbaum, reputedly of a quarrelsome and cantankerous disposition is said by residents in the neighborhood to have beaten a fourteen-year-old boy in his place not long ago. To a reporter, shortly after this fight, Nisenbaum described himself as a "ferocious wild beast" and laughingly added that "I tear a man to pieces for his blood." Johnson came to grips with Nisenbaum following an argument over a small purchase which the colored man had made at the Nisenbaum's grocery store. JOHN T.

Phone 620 TEN AMERICA, LAND OF OPPORTUNITY FOR NEGRO Man Shot in Abdomen by Policeman Expected to Die Grace Gray DeLong, Washington seeress, who a year ago predicted the unprecedented political upheaval that would sweep this country in November, foresees much for the Negro in 1933 and the years to come. This unassuming little woman says that: "America is the land of opportunity for the Negro boy and girl. Never before have such favorable indications been disclosed to me in my crystal and in my cards, it is written in the stars. One only has to glance back but a comparatively few years and note only a few of the accomplishments by men of the race, such as: The publicist and abolitionist, Frederick Douglass, measures in one career the rapid progress from fugitive slave to lecturer, journalist and American foreign minister, The educator, Booker Talafero Washington, "dug" in West Virginia coal mines for an elementary night school education and "walked and begged rides", hitch-hiked, to Hampton Institute to finish his schooling. The poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, wrote his first poems while struggling for bread as an elevator boy. The musician, Roland Hayes, the most notable Negro in the field of the Negro's most significant contribution—the field of music—let all Negro youth be reminded, that he slaved in a foundry to get through Fisk University. The conservative, Robert Russa Moton, who holds honorary degrees in many universities, was born on a Virginia farm and worked his way upward. The writer, James Weldon Johnson, poet and author, has become the torch-bearer of a new Negro literary generation. The scholar, William Edw. Burghart Dubois, editor, author, lecturer and leader of Negro thought, was educated at Fisk, Harvard and abroad. The soldier, Col. Charles Young, one of the few Negroes who graduated from West Point, achieved the highest military success of the race in this country, becoming ranking Negro officer in the United States and winning coveted decorations for daring under fire. But why go on naming names? There are men in your own neighborhood entitled to just as much commendation because of - their self-sacrifice as bread-winners and who may be the sponsors of some brilliant character of the future. I would not attempt to name women of the Negro race who have accomplished what the uninitiated would believe to be miracles. For every boy that has made a success you will find a woman who has been more or less responsible, in some degree, for his attaining the heights. In my quarter of a century public work, bringing me into contact with thousands of women, I have intimate knowledge of the almost supernatural power exerted by countless Negro women in efforts to further the advancement of their loved ones. It is the women of the Negro race who are accomplishing the wonders you are witnessing with unseeing eyes—they are the unsung heroes of distinguished courage. The mothers, wives, sisters and others who have a loved one for whom they have an all consuming desire to see reach the pinnacle of success in their sphere—they are the "stage directors" who work unseen behind the curtain and are instrumental in guiding and assisting the actors and actresses in their struggle for success in the play of life. This year will bring opportunities never before offered to those with the will to win—the successes of the next decade will have a foundation in this coming year, for the great majority of the population of this country will be starting from scratch and every entry in the sweepsteaks will start with an almost equal-chance to finish in the front ranks of the contest winners. I would not counsel anyone being an opportunist in the sense of disregarding principles but I do say to be ready when Lady Luck comes a knocking at your door be prepared to meet your opportunities on a fifty-fifty basis, to be ready to match luck with ability. One of the significant indications that good luck is in store for Negroes in the United States is that this group of 12,000,000 or more will not have to compete for certain jobs so keenly as in the past. For many, many years millions of immigrants from foreign countries have been permitted to enter this Land of Promise—many have remained and become excellent citizens, others have returned to their native soil with what savings they were able to accumulate through frugality and a low standard of living. Now that the immigration regulations have reduced this influx of foreigners to the irreducible minimum, I predict that the Negro population as a whole will profit. Start at the bottom—take the case of the Negro who is forced, by circumstances, to accept a laboring job, he will be able to sell his services to better advantage; he will have more opportunities to step up into positions paying a higher rate of wages. With the bread-winner's earning capacity increased the home-maker, the Negro woman, will have better opportunities to develop domesticity—and the rising generation will reap the benefits resulting from more comfortable homes. Here's a 1933 slogan for Negroes fortunate enough to be living under The Flag: "The game is yet in our hands; to play it well is all we have to do. Nothing but harmony, honesty, industry, and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy people." Those words were uttered by a man born two hundred years ago and who became the first president of this republic. New Year's Services at Lincoln Temple The Men's Brothehood of Lincoln Congregational Temple will meet Sunday morning at 9:45. The devotional exercises will be led by John H. Williams.

Christmas cheer found its way into twenty-six homes through the efforts of the faculty and students of the Francis Junior High School. About ten day before the holidays a call was sent through the building asking the teachers and pupils to contribute whatever clothing or food they could spare to help prepare Christmas baskets for needy families. This request brought a very generous response. Clothing which had already been repaired and remodeled through the efforts of the Red Cross Club was assorted and baskets were filled equally and artistically by the sponsors of the project, Miss E. W. Brown and Mrs. M. L. Duney. Each basket contain canned goods, dry groceries, fruit, canned, and clothing. The Christmas baskets made a very beautiful setting on the stage during the carol service. At the close of school the teachers with cars carried the baskets to the various homes. Every effort was made in preparing the baskets to convey a personal interest and the true Christmas spirit. Gifts were wrapped in Christmas paper and every basket contained a sprig of holly. Each basket also contained a bright-colored tarletan stocking filled with candy and fruit. The annual Christmas post office was conducted by the Red Cross Club under the direction of Mrs. M. L. Cuney, wha office was transformed into a busy post office through which Christmas cards and health seals were sold. The cards were designed by pupils in the art department under the direction of Miss E. O, Meredith and Mrs. R. C. Armstead, and were printed by boys in the printing classes under the direction of J. F. Green. The post office booths were built by boys in woodwork classes under the direction of W. S. Walker, Red Cross girls acted as saleswomen and a group of boys servied as mailcarriers. Through this effort 775 Christmas cards and 679 health seals were sold.

Negro Gandhi Would NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—The attitude of the white South toward the rights of brown men in India and brown men in the United States is revealed by a letter from Florida published in the N.Y. Evening Post. The letter says: "A southern voter was praising Gandhi, boasting of the victory which the 'little brown man' had evidently won with his equality fast. The question was asked, 'If an American Negro should refuse to eat until every Negro in the South had been granted the right to vote, what would you advise us to do?' "Let him starve!" was the empatic and prompt reply. "Gandhi has thousands of followers who cannot even write their own names and do not care to learn, whereas the majority of our American Negroes have made every effort to educate themselves for good citizenship, often working in heartbreaking circumstances to improve themselves and their children. "Let's not get hysterical over the 'little brown man' of India getting his rights, while the 'little brown man' on our own doorstep is still shut out of many privileges." The letter is signed by Helen Claiborne, of West Palm Beach. Welfare Association Distributes Baskets The Social Welfare Association distributed baskets to the needy families in Southwest and Southeast, Christmas Eve. The baskets containing foodstuffs, fruits and chickens were made up through contributions of the association's members. Members of the committee in charge of the distribution included Marvis Taylor, chairman; Charlotte Stultz, Ethel Coleman, Irene Campbell, Myrtle Brown, Harold Reynolds and James Watts. NEW YORK.—M. Harvey, brutally fluttered in Clearwater Florida, because he protested discrimination against colored citizens in the distribution of free government flour by the local Red Cross, has been warned not to return to the city, this despite the assurance of Governor Carlton written to the N.A.A.C.P. that he had ordered law officers to prosecute the floggers. Mr. Harvey is at present in an or Florida city. He i at a loss what to do since he cannot sell his property holding in Clearwater. W. D. Williams, another victim of the mob, has r it yet returned here. Reports indicate that the flogging had the sympathy if not the active participation of certain officers of the law in the Florida town and for this reason the sheriff's office has been slow in proceeding. Protest against the mob brutality has been active among the better white citizens and the family welfare league, composed of white women, openly voiced a denunciation of the crime. The N.A.A.C.P. is writing to Mayor H. H. Baskin, of Clearwater, inquiring whether that city will or will not give full protection to the two citizens first mobbed and then intimidated from "turning to their homes. NEGRO FEDERAL NEWS By Laurence J. W Hayes By Laurence J. W. Hayes Hello, everybody! I hope that you had a Merry Christmas. Permit me to wish you a Happy New Year. Christmas was my birthday, believe it or not. I take this means of thanking the score or more of my readers who wrote to me in regard to the type of column wanted. Your suggestions will be followed as closely as possible. I regret that I cannot publish any of the news sent to me in this release. It is my policy to check up on news of personal interest before I publish it. I wonder whether all of the Federal Employees in the District of Columbia know that there has been organized two local lodges of the Federation of Government Employees for Negroes only. One, the Inter-Department Lodge No. 20, Federation of Government Employees, was recently granted its charter by the Federation of Government Employees. The lodge is made up of government employees in the several departments and independent establishments. It is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. John W. Charleston is president, and Frederick L. Slade is secretary. I'll tell you about the other one next week.

I am aware that the word "crazy" has several meanings one conveying the idea that certain principles and things are dilapidated or rickety, but the common use of the word conveys the idea of originating in or characterized by insanity. If Mr. Williams is consummating his ideas about Liberia by the publicity and monetary motives of a few American Negroes who have visited Liberia long enough to find out a part of the truth but not the whole truth, he is being miserably misled. Conditions in Liberia and the pressure that she is fighting against for survival should not be burdened further with words or comments to fill up space. We should rally to her defense in regard to the white man's tale of woes here, for she is a weekling in respect to the brutality and racial oppression given to Negroes right there in the States. Then we Negroes at home should be very careful in making statements substantiating those of the white man, for he has said that the Liberian Government, and, more than that, that all of the Negroes are crazy. We can't blame the other fellow for calling us crazy when we admit it ourselves, and, to be frank about it, Mr. Williams, we all suffer from some petty insanity, the American Negro, foo, don't you think? And what "abominable thing" must be stopped? Do you know what it is all about? Well, I will tell you. The white powers are forcing themselves into Liberia under that pretext that slavery is being carried on to a shocking extent. I have been in Liberia for nearly three years, and have traveled throughout her hinterland, and I have failed to see with my own eyes a third of what she has been accused of. It is a great scheme of American interests to industrialize and capitalize Liberi and it is the duty of the fifteen million Negroes to see to it, that Liberia will still remain a free and independent Negro Republic. Already the foreign business contacts in Liberia are trying to run the government, and what do you suppose that American occupation, with all of her white commissions will do? We, American Negroes in Liberia are thankful for the Democratic victory, for it at least relieves us of the Hoover menace and our hearts can "lay down" for a little while longer, but no time should be lost in securing the affable attitude and well-wishes of our next President. Let us not be too busy in adjusting our racial grievances at home to forget this little black Republic, the only one that has not felt the blunt hand of the Nordic. (Dr.) OTTOWO J. SAUNDERS, C. V. Dyer Memorial Hospital, Monrovia, Liberia, November 17, 1932 Stained Glass Windows Depict Scenes of Negro Spirituals NEW YORK.—(CNS)—Decorative stained glass windows rich in color and depicting numerous scenes of Negro spirituals and Negro subjects and designed for the chancel of the chapel at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, were on exhibition in the studio of J. and R. Lamb, 323 Sixth Avenue last week just before they were shipped to Alabama. It is said to be the first time that Negro spirituals have been portrayed in stained glass. There are three panels in the window, which represent the advance of the Negro race and the Negro's aspirations. The center shows the Negroes worshiping in the swal.ps before they were given the right to worship collectively. In the left panel the earthly struggle for freedom is represented by such spirituals as "Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho," "We are Climbin' Jacob's Ladder," "Roll, Jordon Roll," and "Oh, Sing All the Way." The elderly Negro at the end of a hard life is represented in the right panel. At the bottom is the Negro in slavery, typified in "Go Down Moses." Just above are figures of elderly Negroes reaching upward towar' the Promised Land, typified in "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Next is the representation of the spiritual, "Deep River," and at the top, "My Lord, What a Mornin'." Other spirituals in the three panels are "Shout All Over God's Heavin," "Rise Up, Shepherd and Follow," and "Steal Away." The three-panel window is a part of the stained glass executed for the entire chapel by the Lamb Studio. Added interest was manifested in the exhibit from the fact that a 100-voice choir from Tuskegee is attracting much attention in the city at the present time. Bucket of scalding water thrown on would-be hold-up man, changes his mind. Washington: cement of extreme importance n's home-loving public ...

SOUTH AGOG OVER TIGER-PANTHER GO Tuskegee and Prairie View in Mid-Winter Grid Clash Friday TUSKEGEE, Ala.-The Tuskegee Institute football team devoted this week to preparation for the final game of the season with Prairie View College, Texas. The game will be played Friday afternoon at the Buffalo Stadium in Houston, which has seating accommodations for 15,000. The Prairie View-Tuskegee game is being played as a feature attraction in connection with the Panthers' holiday program. Graduates of Prairie View from all sections of Texas gather in Houston on this occasion for their annual "get-together" meeting and to witness the football game which is always played with some outstanding college team. This is Tuskegee's third invitation trip to Texas—twice to play Prairie View and once to play Paul Quinn. In the Tuskegee-Prairie View games the Tigers were victorious, but the Paul Quinn game ended in a blank for both teams. Robert Camp Out Coach Abbott has had to "break in" a center to take the place of Robert Camp, who was injured in the South Carolina State College game, November 28, and has been advised by the team physician to turn in his togs for the season. Arthur Green and Leon German are being used in the center of the line and are handling the assignment satisfactorily. Ben McKinney, already a good tackle, has been turning in sparkling play during this week's practice sessions, and is expected to give the powerful Panther line a busy afternoon keeping him from being the fifth man in their backfield. Thomas Dumas and Thomas Henry are being counted upon to play a remarkable game. Both of these men are consistent in their work and are in rare form. Raymond Johnson, who caught Edward Adams's 60-yard pass in the Tuskegee-State Teachers' College memorable game, Thanksgiving Day, and stepped across the goal line for the touchdown, is a Houston boy, and he is being groomed to give the home town folks a great exhibition on Friday afternoon. Panthers Favored Sports writers from the Southwest are claiming a victory for the Panthers, advancing theories which have much weight as their reason for the prediction. The Tuskegee coaching staff has given considerable attention to these praiseworthy reports about Coach Tyler's team and are preparing the Tigers for one of the hardest games of the season. Twenty-five players will make the trip to Texas. Coach Abbott and Ross Owens, second in command and the chief scout; the physician, J. N. Washington, postmaster, and Capt. R. S. Darnaby will compose the faculty personnel. COACH'S SON IN GAME Edward Westmoreland, son of Coach Westmoreland, of Armstrong High School, was sent into the game against the alumni last Friday. Daddy Westmoreland yanked Edward after the latter had been in the pivot position for a short time. The coach was pleased with his son's performance. LOCAL BOY GETS LETTER AT UNION Edgar Lee Among 21 to Be Honored of Grid Team at Richmond BY OLIVER W. CONNOR RICHMOND, Va.-During the letter day services at Virginia Union University, Wednesday, Captain Bill Yancey, Cubby Gill, Big Tom Thompson, and Maxie Robinson were presented with gold footballs by Dr. John W. Barco, vicepresident of the university. Dr. Robert P. Daniel, head of the department of education, bestowed twenty-one letters upon players in the Hucules machine for their excellent football technique and sportsmanship. In a speech prior to the presentation of the awards, Dr. Daniel commended the team for its success, stressed the value of athletics and physical training. He also contrasted the awkward manner in which football was played during the "good old days," when it was a game of power, push and pull, and the heaviest team usually won, with the present day football when speed and brains are the principal factors in a winning team. Towards the close of the program Mrs. Llwellyn W. Davis gave a rendition of one of Nathaniel Dett's compositions, and "Miss Union" and "Miss Homecoming," Miss Sylvia Means and Miss Maude Ragsdale, respectively, were presented to the student body, and each awarded the letter "U." Letters were awarded to Captain William H. Yancey, Jr., Everette Poole, Lloyd P. Williams, Russell Wilson, Kenneth Davis, Samuel Lathon, and Walter Stewart, all of Norfolk, Va.; James Gill and Nelson Taylor, of Roanoke, Va.; Samuel B.

Fernandez, a native of Peru, will perform many "Believe-it-or-Not" tricks. Some time back this performer's picture was carried throughout the country in Ripley's "Believe-it-or-Not" column with the following statement: The prince will present a two-hour demonstration of Hindu magic, muscle contortions, including the eating of razor blades, the human bridge act and many mystifying tricks that will be pleasing to the audience. Wamba will be assisted by Professor Mohamet. Added attractions will be the strong man act by Ruff House Gordon, of the "Y".

Changes in Basketball Rules Changes in Basketball Rules By BENJAMIN WASHINGTON Secretary, Eastern Board of Officials An unusual amount of interest seems to have developed in the newest radical rules concerning the advancing of the ball from the back court to the front court, and of its permissible return to the back court under stated conditions. It is well for teams while in practice to strictly observe this rule because as soon as they engage a competent official, the enforcement of the rule will bring hardship to the team violating the newest prohibition, and very probably will also result in the members of the team's becoming very much peeved at the official. This will, of course, lead to words between players, coaches, and officials, thereby resulting in a game entirely unsatisfactory to the spectators. of the ball at the with his back to the period of not more ends.

New Time Limit Here is another play which has been practiced for a long time but which now has been relegated to the discarded heap. Occasionally we see a player with his back to his goal, retaining the ball for an indefinite time while his teammates pass to and fro on either side of him, and finally one of these receives the ball for an easy shot. The new rule limits the holder MIDWEST FORMS ATHLETIC BODY Coaches from Five Colleges Organize Association at Wilberforce WILBERFORCE, Ohio.—One of the most significant movements in amateur athletics ever made in the Middle West was started Saturday, when a group of athletic leaders met at Wilberforce University and launched plans for the formation of an inter-collegiate conference. The movement promises to move the section out of the background of athletics where it has been languishing for years, while other sections, except the far west where there are no Negro colleges, have built representative organizations. Coaches from five of the collegiate athlete pace setters of the mid section were present at the inauguration of this so-called Mid-Western Athletic Association—Lincoln (Mo.), Kentucky State, Louisville Municipal College, West Virginia State, and Wilberforce. If one judges by their inter-sectional competition as independents, the teams of this group can hold their own with any of the other leading sectional conferences—the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association, the Southern Inter-collegiate Athletic Association, the Southern Inter-collegiate Athletic Conference, the Southwest Inter-collegiate Athletic Conference, and the South Atlantic Athletic Conference.

KID CHOCOLATE VISITS HAVANA Cuban is Alien and Will Have to Have Passport Renewed NEW YORK. — Kid Chocolate left the city last week to spend the holidays in Havana. While this is an excellent move, it is one prompted by the alien quota law, for Chocolate is an alien and will have to have his passport renewed. Following the recent La Barba fight, bitter comment has been made by the pack which follows the squared circle. Some say that LaBarba was jobbed out of the decision, critics giving the coast fighter ten out of the fifteen rounds, others giving Chocolate twelve, and so on. But one thing is true. Listen to Louis Guitterez, manager of the Cuban: "That's what you get for being a good guy. We agreed to take LaBarba for 27½ per cent. A champion's share is 37½ per cent, but we turned back ten per cent. "The Keed fought like a great champion. He came back in the twelfth round after being almost out on his feet. Yet, the crowd booed and the boxing writers disagreed with the decision. From now on we'll insist on getting a champion's purse. Then if we're abused, why we'll have something to use for a remedy."

Girls' Quint Out to Cop Championship of North Carolina SALISBURY, N.C.-The Living-stone College men's basketball team held its first practice in the college gym recently, at which time 18 men reported to Coach Smith. Practically the entire varsity squad of last year reported for first practice. Among them were Fisher, McCormick, Wilson, Cockfield, and Whitaker. Although the oldsters are showing plenty of stuff in the practice, several newcomers bid fair to oust some of them on the varsity. A fast combination has been uncovered in Brockett and Faulk, and chances are that they will cause the varsity forwards much concern. At guard positions, Ell Jones, Ben Black, and Waller are showing up to advantage. Lanky Jim McDonald, stellar football tackle, is burning up the court in the center position. The men's team opens its season at home with a strong Winston-Salem team composed of college stars. One of its members is John Clay, well known around Atlanta athletic circles. Girls Out for Title The Livingstone co-eds are daily getting into shape for their strenuous basketball season. Despite the fact that several of the varsity were lost through graduation and illness, Coach Smith feels that his charges will round into shape in the near future. Among the old timers are Capt. Arlene Bess, Carrie Palmer, Melba Cherry, and Louise Ellis. Other co-eds who are showing up nicely are Dot Bailey, of Wilmington, N.C.; Pauline Funderburk and Cerrine Witheronspoon. the co-eds play a schedule of twelve games. Some of the opponents are: Bennett College, A. and T. College, Fayetteville State Normal, Lutheran College, Shaw University, and Lynchburg, Va. Y.W.C.A.

The game, a nick and tuck contest, from the opening whistle, was decided in the final two minutes of play when Frank Payne, member of the first Purple and Gold court team, who is now matriculating at Virginia State College, sank a basket from the charity line to break a 19-19 deadlock. A few moments before, Weaver, varsity forward, had knotted the count with a similar shot. The undergrads started the scoring and led through the early stages of the battle, but the former Cardozo stars pulled ahead to lead at half time, 15-14.

DUCK GIBSON OFF HOWARD SCHEDULE DUCK GIBSON OFF HOWARD SCHEDULE Baltimore Official Is Not Named in Games by Bisons Neville Reid, Philadelphia basketball and football official, has is included among the "certified" list of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association and included in the "probationary" list of officials. The reason for this summary action by the C.I.A.A. has not been made public. Joe Rainey, a former Lincoln track coach, appears on the C.I.A.A. list for the first time. He is included amon gthe "certified" officials although he is not named to officiate in any association games. Reid is named as umpire in the Lincoln-A. and T. and the Lincoln-Howard games. Gibson Ban Stands Lemard U. Gibson, of Baltimore, who was protested by Howard last fall, is not assigned to any of Howard's games. The only explanation of the committee's action in the annual meeting in Raleigh follows: "One of the most far-reaching actions ever taken by the C.I.A.A. was its separating of athletic officials into two groups, certified and probationary. "In previous years, all officials have had an 'approved' classification, but because of the obvious inefficiency on the part of some officials on the approved list and because of the inactivity of others the association empowered its committee on the certification of officials to re-classify the athletic arbiters into the two afore-mentioned divisions, a large number of new applicants being also placed in the probationary class. "In the future, each school, following an athletic contest, will rate the officials on a special rating card these ratings to determine at the close of the season in which division each official will be placed." Tolan Refused $500 Week Offer from Howard Theatre Eddie Tolan, Olympic champion, refused an offer of $500 per week by the Howard Theatre, it was revealed at Los Angeles by a scout for a New York vaudeville agent. Winona Tenney, the scout, produced telegrams and letters showing that Tolan failed to accept the stage opportunity when it was offered him. The athlete was made the offer to open the Howard last September at the cash figure or 50-50 percentage if the house took in over $7,500. Since then Tolan has appeared on the stage co-starring with Bill Bojangles Robinson. NUMBERS SURE HITS "INSIDE INFO" BEAT THIS!

The program was originally billed for the 27th, but moved back two days. Winston, who has knocked out and beaten many prominent heavyweights, will take on Ted Sandwina in one of the preliminary matches on the same card with the return George Godfrey-Walter Cobb fuss. One of Winston's recent successes was a one-round knockout against Billy Jones. Jim Maloney, who is still flinging fists, and now on a successful comeback campaign, will exchange wallpalls with Leo Mitchell, a hard hitter, who recently returned from the coast, where he won several bouts. Goddrey and Cobb, who appear in the principal contest, met several weeks ago at the Arena and Godfrey was declared the victor, although the general run of fans present thought a draw would have been better. Cleveland Club Seeks Games with D.C.

Football Player Makes Scholastic Honor Roll MONTGOMERY. Ala.-Making academic grades at well as gridiron yards was the fall quarter feat of Severne Frazier, versatile triple-threat four-letter athlete at Alabama State Teachers' College who was the cream of backfield for the Southern Conference and a deserving candidate for All-American honors in this season of 1932. Turning in an all B record, Frazier was one of the 13 college students and one of the five seniors to make the scholarship honor roll for the quarter. Having had a good academic record for his entire college period, Frazier leads the quartet of seniors including Captain George Mobson, fullback, William Coger, All-American guard, and Albert Mitchell, punting halfback, who played their last game for the Hornets on Thanksgiving Day. Champion Girls' Team Wins Ninth Straight Victory PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Ott to Briggs's Philadelphia Tribune girls, the national colored girl champions, won their ninth straight game Friday evening on their home court at Wissahickon Boys Club when they defeated the Woodbury Darts, South Jersey's fastest girls' team by the score of 18 to 5.

Many were unable to get in. Since that time there have been thousands of requests for a return engagement of that famous organization, and beginning Saturday, December 31, in answer to the many requests the feature stage attraction will be Baron Lee and his Blue Rhythm Band, featuring Edgar Hayes, Harlem's king at the piano, and Tiny Bradshaw, a boy who has startled the musical world by his eccentric drumming and his rendition of several popular song hits. In conjunction with this great band will be a new all-star revue with many new faces and the dancing mermaids. Living up to a reputation which it rightfully deserves, that of showing to its patrons all first-run pictures and only the best, the Howard Theatre presents a startling drama with four of Hollywood's greatest stars all in this one big hit. If you see only one picture a year you owe it to yourself to see Joan Blondell, Warren Williams, Ann Dvorak and Bette in "Three on a Match." Three modern maidens pursuing one unwary man. Luck brought one the light of life, one the flame of love, and the third ashes of despair—a story so vital it took four stars to make it.

Laffon of Kentucky Pardons and Paroles FRANKPORT, Ky.—(CNS)—A pardon, remission of a fine and seventy-five paroles was granted last week by Gov. Ruby Laffoon. William Woods, convicted at the February, 1931, term of Nelson Circuit Court of housebreaking and sentenced to five years' imprisonment was granted a full and free pardon. The Governor said that he 'had been informed that Woods broke into a henhouse in search of whisky. Satisfactory evidence, he said, showed that two white boys, allowed to have been accomplices of Woods, were acquitted at separate trials. Woods already has served two years of his term. Clemency was recommended by State Senator Lewis Ryans, State Auditor J. Dan Talbott, County Attorney Ernest N. Fulton, the Rev. G. F. Watson and others. The attorney general offered no objection to 'the action. Governor Laffoon also remitted a $200 fine imposed on a man for manufacturing intoxicating liquor and on recommendation of the Department of Public Welfare board paroled 75 prisoners from the State reformatory, many of whom were colored, whose homes are widely separated in many of the counties of the State.

GEORGE RAFT AT LINCOLN IN 'NIGHT AFTER NIGHT George Raft, who is very popular with the patrons of the Lincoln Theatre, will again make his appearance in "Night After Night." He needs no introduction to the audience as his work in "Scarface" and "Under-Cover Man" speaks for itself. The entire action of the film is set in the speakeasy. It is the story of the queer romance that develops between Raft and Miss Constance Cummings, a Park Avenue debutante, who was born in the mansion which was rescued from decay to serve as an oasis for the thirsty and who returns to it to satisfy a deep longing to revisit the scene of her childhood. Constance Cummings, Wynne Gibson, Mae West, and Alison Skipworth have other leading roles in "Night After Night." This romance is brought to a startling climax by a series of unusual events. Short subjects and a News Reel will round out this program. A dramatic screen answer to many pertinent questions American citizens are asking about rule by political parties is contained in Universal's timely pic wo, "Afraid to Talk" which will open at the Broadway Theatre Sunday for a two-day run. It presents a group of municipal office holders, under the dictates of a party boss, who find themselves forced by a clamoring press and public to gain a conviction for an underworld murder. In desperation the party attempts to railroad an innocent bell- "Afraid to Talk" boy for the crime, and when public spirited citizens instigate an investigation, complications develop so rapidly that the film proceeds towards its powerful climax with one intensely dramatic crisis after another. Sidney Fox, Eric Linden, Tully Marshall and other screen lights are in the cast. HOWARD T STREET near 7th, N. W.

"Secrets of the French Police" which Edward Sutherland directed, deals with the attempt of one General Han Moloff to use hypnotic domination to empty the mind of a French flower girl of all knowledge and impressions of her past life, and to hypnotically suggest to her that she is Anastasia. The detection of the attempted imposture is one of the strangest tales of international conspiracy ever told on the screen. The program will be rounded out with selected short subjects and a News reel. Los Gauchitos on Air in Special Program L. Gauchitos, radio orchestra, which broadcasts South American music, will resume broadcasting Thursday evening at 8 o'clock at which time they will render a special program for His Excellency, the Councillor of the Pan-American Union and his staff.

The lesson he imparted was that the philosophy of Christ, if applied to the problems of our group, will offer a tisfactory solution. Emmer H.

Fox picture, “Tess of the Storm Coun- try,” is scheduled for a showing’ at the Raphael, Janet Gaynor’ is as delightful a Person Off the screen as she is on. A willing and indefatigable work- er, with am eager éar for construc- tive criticism or suggestions that will “improve her performance, Hollywood directors find »her as easy to work with as the most low- ly “extra.” Retakes seldom. try her patience and she is always ready with a kindly word for the Player who has made: re-shooting necessary.” She never attempts to overshadow ‘a subordinate player or steal a scene, but. rather’ sticks closely to the natural portrayal of her characterization, with. the sound, common sense knowledge that if the picture as a whole is pleasing, the louder will be the ac- claim. “When Marian Nixon re- cently scored so decided a hit in the title role of “Rebecca of Sun- nybrook Farm,” Miss Gaynor was the first person to congratulate her. Surély this can not be tem- perament; in view of the fact that the story vias. origifially planned for Janet. Farrell is Friendliest Charles Farrell has -often been called the friendliest, most easy- going and popular star in Holly- wood. He has more proteges than Any other screen player. His, will- ingness to help the other fellow iwas doubtless born with his first starring assigament. When Frank Botzage was steking an actor for the part of “Chico” in “7th Heav- ’n” Farrell recommended a friend af his to the noted director, only to be selected for the role himself. The popularity of Janet Gaynor ing Charles Farrell is possibly best explained in the words of Alfred Santell, who directed “Tess of the Storm Country.” He:recently said, “If it is as pleasureable to watch Janet and Charlie on the screen as AT THE RAPHAEL wa ss ce fo co at ie ee Rae es ot.

Conrad Vincent, 209 159th St., prominent Harlem physician, has tendered his resignation as associate surgeon and acting head of the department of urology at Harlem Hospital to Dr. J. G. William Greef, commissioner of hospitals. In sending his resignation, Dr. Vincent vigorously scored what he termed flagrant mismanagement and efficient and entirely unwholesome conditions prevailing in every department in Harlem Hospital. Under date of Wednesday, December 14, Dr. Vincent wrote Dr. Greeff as follows: "I hereby tender my resignation as associate surgeon at Harlem Hospital and acting head of the department of Urology, said department existing in name only. "This resignation is to become effective immediately and is intended to be an open and vehement mistreatment and inefficient and entirely unwholesome conditions prevailing in every department including the medical, surgical, the administrative, the nursing, and the unskilled personnel. States Objection "As a colored man and as a resident of the community which Harlem Hcospital serves, I object most strenuously to the spirit of segregation and discrimination as regards the employees and the supervising personnel and the selection of the staff. The percentage of patients treated in Harlem Hospital is distributed as follows: About 75 to 85 per cent colored, and about 15 to 25 per cent white; while there exists a professional staff and a personnel (student nurses not included) of about 80 per cent white and 20 per cent colored. "Splendidly educated and highly efficient colored graduate nurses are placed under the supervision and direction of poorly trained and grossly incompetent white nurses. These white nurses employ high-handed methods of segregation and discrimination in work, in living quarters and even in the dining hall where they maintain a separate room for themselves. This situation clearly indicates that these white women could and should be replaced by colored women of culture, refinement and demonstrated ability and fitness. "The offices of superintendent and assistant superintendent are filled by mediocre and prejudiced whites who reside in districts far remote from this community and from this hospital; while, within our own district there are numer- ous men and women, lay and professional, thoroughly competent to fill these places in a much more satisfactory manner than the present incumbents, and they deserve these positions by right of their fitness and their being citizens residing in this community. 80 Per Cent White Staff "Not only in the office of the superintendent and assistant superintendent, but all the line in skilled and unskilled labor such as, stationary engineers, mechanics, stenographers, secretaries, telephone operators, elevator operators, chauffeurs, dietitians and other classes of menial labor, the representation is preponderantly white. This 80 per cent white staff and personnel (lay and professional) comes from every other section and borough of Greater New York, except Harlem. "Such unequal distribution in city institutions does not exist in any other section of the City of New York, or would such a Negro invasion comparable to the above described one be tolerated by any white section. These whites do not understand our people, and are not particularly interested in problems particularly and peculiarly our own, nor are they in sympathy with our ideals and our needs "As regards the medical situation: Colored men of proved ability and superior training have been ousted, side tracked, shelved or pushed into specially named departments, while these departments really do not exist at all, and the administration has flatly refused both by action and word of mouth to co-operate in making said departments real entities of the hospital—this being especially true as regards the so-called Department of Urology. Many of the white doctors at Harlem Hospital, though holding minor positions in other hospitals in and about New York City, are given posts of distinction in this institution. This is done to the exclusion and detriment of deserving and well-equipped colored doctors. "In and about Harlem, there are more than 150 practising colored physicians and surgeons who are denied, as you know, opportunities for services, development and advancement in any other hospital in New York City. Even a casual survey of the foregoing facts will lead one to the decision that it is imperative that Negroes, professional and lay, be given a much higher percentage of representation among the personnel and staff of this institution. The majority of these injustices and irregularities have never been effectively brought to your attention. "These unsatisfactory and deplorable conditions are maintained by Dr. John F. Connors, surgical director of Harlem Hospital, with the guidance and assistance of Dr. Louis T. Wright, who is the 'acknowledged Negro Political Boss' of the institution since its so-called reorganization. Through his newly acquired powers, Dr. Wright uses the hospital for his own personal gain and preferment while seeing to it that other colored physicians are kept in the back-ground at all times. Empty Promises "At a banquet given in consequence of this re-organization and attended by yourself, Commissioner F. Q. Morton, Dr. Wright, Dr. Connors and others, you will recall that Commissioner Morton took full credit for saving Dr. Connors and bringing about this so-called reorganization. At that time, the four of you, Commissioner, Morton, Dr. Wright, Dr. Connors, and yourself, promised a fair and square deal to colored doctors, colored personnel and colored patients alike. "A review of the hospital situation since that time will clearly show that this has not been done. Dr. Wright, after having secured for himself, one or more of the highest and most important places in the hospital, has instituted a policy of embarrassing, repressing, humiliating, intimidating and insulting other colored physicians, among whom are those who have had as much training and experience, and have rendered as much faithful and efficient service and given as much fame to the institution as he. "Not only has he done this, but he has surrounded himself with young colored doctors, of little or no experience, some of whom have had no internship, many of whom have hardly begun the private practice of medicine. None of them have occupied the position of resident surgeon or resident physician in any hospital. These young men, in all fairness, should admit that the future of the Negro medical profession is jeopardized by this condition. There is one colored man on the medical board of the Harlem Hospital and ten white. A fair representation for the Negro Community could only be obtained by having a larger number of Negro physicians and surgeons on this board. "Personally I have been connected with Larlem Hospital since 1920 (after completing an internship and serving as resident surgeon at Bellevue Hospital). From the position of assistant in the dispensaries in Harlem Hospital, I rose by promotion for efficient and satisfactory service to my present position, associate surgeon and acting head of the department of urology. At no time during this whole period of twelve years of service there have conditions been so unfair and so intolerable as they are now. "For the above reasons; and others not mentioned here, I deem it imperative that I sever my connection from this institutions to which I have devoted so much time and service and which should function to the fullest benefit of the colored physicians and general public of Harlem. "Very truly yours, U. CONRAD VINCENT, M.D." Bank of Boley Closed BOLEY, Okla.—(CNS)—The Farmers and Merchant Bank, of this Negro owned and controlled town, was closed last week to prevent a run of depositors. That drastic action was due directly to the killing of D. J. Turner, the bank president and mayor of the town in an attempt at robbery. The commission said that Boley bank closed in excellent condition and that he does not expect any large loss. He said it was necessary to take charge in order to protect small depositors. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 30, 1932 Taxi Driver Robbed of Earnings by Three Fares Moses Wilkerson, taxicab driver, of 642 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, told police, early this week, that he was robbed of his money by three men. Wilkerson said the three fares hired him at Ninth and L Streets and orderd him to carry them to Eleventh and O Streets. When they reached their destination, one got out while the other two stuck something which he believed was a pistol, in his back and yelled "stick 'em up." The man who had gotten out then went through his pockets and took his change totaling over four dollars. Police were given a description of the three men. Young Wife Attempts Suicide by Hanging Domestic troubles were said to have been the reason which motivated Bertha Johnson, 27-year-old wife, to attempt suicide at her home, 1328 Ninth Street, Northwest, early this week. The young woman was found by her husband, Romack Johnson, in a rear room of the house with one end of a sheet tied around her neck and the other end fastened to the upper part of a closet. The Rescue Squad rendered first aid and the woman was later taken to Emergency Hospital for further treatment. 2 Centenarians Die; One 110, the Other 111 MEMPHIS, Tenn.—(CNS) —A death notice reading: "Leaving a host of doctors and nurses to mourn his loss," was the wav the Qualls Funeral Home gav publicity to the fact that there died at the Jane Tewell Hospital last week, Jack Biggs, who was born before the city of Memphis was chartered. Biggs was said to have been 110 years old. He had lived near Collierville for nearly a century before coming to Memphis. Bonaparte, Andrew Jackson, Daniel Boone and Sam Houston were, even if unknown to him, his contemporaries. Biggs was middleaged when the Civil War broke out, and according to Dr. A. A. Williams, a physician at the hospital, often talked of the war. Ten years ago Biggs lost his sight. But the doctors at the hospital cared for him. SALISBURY, N.C. — (CNS) — Mrs. Harriett Brown, a former slave, said by relatives and neighbors to be 111 years old, died at her home in Rowan county Wednesday, December 21. TWO ASSAULT AND ROB MAN WALKING ON 5th ST. Andrew Jenkins, 54, 432 V Street, Northwest, was assaulted and robbed of $15 in bills while walking out Fifth Street near O Street, Northwest, early this week. Jenkins told police two men beat him and took his money. He was unable to furnish descriptions of them. Prisons and Prisoners He encourages the inmates of his "Village" to take advantage of their opportunities. "Seize this very minute! What you can do, or think you can, begin it!" —Von Goethe. * * * * It might seem as quite a coincidence that the above quotation should be used as a theme just at the same time a new editor, Louis Kish, 29895, takes over the helm of School News. This article is intended to be inspirational and I am sure that Kish needs no inspiration, from this source, in order to continue what our friend McNabb has so well established. If anything, McNabb is the one who will need all the inspiration he can receive, provided it is the kind of inspiration that forces a man onward to do the best that his talent will permit. McNabb goes out into the free world practically at the beginning of a winter that undoubtedly will bring hardships, poverty and misery to a great many. The next few months will bring about many changes in governmental and civil life and amidst these conditions McNabb begins his life over. If he can successfully survive the first few months his ultimate success will be assured. Two and a half years, after all, is a very brief time in which to become well acquainted with any man, but knowing a man for that length of time in prison is sufficient to learn the real "stuff" that he is made of; and in this time McNabb has successfully demonstrated his ability to battle against all obstacles. I know from what he has accomplished that McNabb is an opportunist and a good one. Amidst the rocks, thorns and briars he has proved that he can recognize an opportunity and regardless of any personal discomfort he is not afraid to brush up against the hardships while he begins what he thinks he can accomplish. It is not necessary to go into the history of School News. We all know that until McNabb saw the opportunity for it there was no medium in which the Jackson prisoners could express themselves. Its present popularity and growing nation-wide reputation speaks volumes for its originator. We are almost sure that, in the free world, McNabb will recognize opportunities and I feel sure that he will ever feel inspired to fight onwards when he realizes that he leaves behind him thousands of his fallen brothers who will ever be wishing him the same success in the free world that he has made for himself in our twin "villages." prisoner who thinks he can do something constructive should no hesitate to make the beginning. That might be in the form of many months, or years, of study in some special course; but what ever form it might take, the thing to do is to make the beginning and like the quotation cited: "Seize this very minute! What you can do, or think you can, begin it!" Needy Given Aid at Yule Party at Shiloh Church One thing McNabb certainly has done, and that is, he has left behind him a precedent for every other prisoner to follow. He believed that while in prison he could accomplish some good and, believing it, he simply began it. We all know what his first efforts were. Comparing his issue No.1 with the present issue (No.124), there is about as much similarity as between a baby and a grown man, but with a healthy spark of life dominating throughout. With the liberal educational policy of this institution, which is said to surpass that of any other penal institution in the world, every prisoner who thinks he can do something constructive should not hesitate to make the beginning That might be in the form of many months, or years, of study in some special course; but whatever form it might take, the thing to do is to make the beginning and, like the quotation cited, "Seize this very minute! What you can do, or think you can, begin it!" Needy Given Aid at Yule Party at Shiloh Church A Christmas party to aid needy persons was held Wednesday at Shiloh Baptist Church, Ninth and P Streets, Northwest. Mrs. M. M. Waldron, widow of the late pastor of the church, the Rev. J. Milton Waldron, sponsored the entertainment. Dinner was served and shoes, clothing and groceries were distributed. "The Story of the Christ Child" a play, was presented by Miss W. A. Coleman. The late Dr. Waldron appeared before the House and Senate for many years in an effort to obtain better living conditions for residents of alleys in Washington. Negro Workers "Lose" Annually $1,412,226 in Three Flood Areas TWO NEW YORK—Three areas in the Mississippi flood control project are "losing" wages for Negro workers at the rate of $1,412,226, in a single year, according to an estimate prepared for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and made public today. The basis of the figures is the difference between what the Negro levee workers are now paid and what they would be paid if they worked under a prevailing rate of wage law. The three areas included in the estimate are the Memphis, Vicksburg, and New Orleans areas. The total amount of work under contract in these areas is given as follows: Memphis, $10,280,452; Vicksburg, $8,318,144; New Orleans, $9,418,517. The estimate takes for basis the $1.25 per day promised and in many cases not even paid the levee workers, as against a minimum wage scale of $2 a day for a ten-hour day. The figures in the Memphis area, calculated for 90 percent of the men on the pay roll, show a loss in wages under the present system of as much as $105.750 for a single month in this one district alone. For the year 1932 the men would have received $607,851 more in wages in the Memphis area alone had they been paid on the prevailing wage scale of $2 a day for ten hours. In the Vicksburg area this loss is estimated at $495,000 for the year and in the 2nd New Orleans area the loss is put at $309,375 for the year. The N.A.A.C.P. in making public these figures, prepared by an expert in Washington, issued the following statement: "In urging all citizens, colored and white, to back up the resolution offered by Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York, calling for a Senate investigation of the peonage conditions on the government-financed Mississippi levee work, the N.A.A.C.P. hopes first to show up and to end the horrors which now prevail. "Beyond this the N.A.A.C.P. believes that when the facts are made known through senate investigation, there will be a public demand that these workers be safeguarded by national legislation, for maximum hours of work and a minimum wage scale, such as safeguards other workers on government projects."

GREETINGS----1933 ROSENWALD FUND EMBEZZLER GETS 5-YEAR SENTENCE Former State Supervisor of Negro Education Stole $53,000 JACKSON, Miss. (CNS)—Burá Hilbun, former state supervisor of Negro education, last week was sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary following his conviction two weeks ago on charges of embezzling $53,000 in Rosenwald Foundation funds allotted to Mississippi. The sentence was pronounced by Judge Potter in Hinds County circuit court after Hilbun had been denied a new trial on the contention that one of the jurors, I. E. Cobb, had expressed an opinion as to the defendant's guilt in a conversation in Richton in December, 1931. Fighting hard to get a new trial for their client, Hilbun's attorneys presented three witnesses in the hearing for a new trial, who testified that Cobb, while on business in Richton as liquidation agent for the state banking department, had told them that "Hilbun is guilty and ought to be sent to the penitentiary." Cobb took the stand, however, and denied ever making such a statement. Judge Potter, in handing down his decision, overruled the motion for a new trial, stated that the testimony in the trial had not been presented to offset charges of the prosecution that Hilbun had withdrawn Rosenwald funds on a certain date and allegedly deposited the same amount to his personal bank account on the identical date. "Before I sentence you, Mr. Hilbun, is there a statement you would like to make?" Judge Potter asked the former state official. With tears in his eyes, Mr. Hilbun stated: "Notwithstanding the verdict of the jury, judge, I still maintain that I am not guilty of the charges." Seated in the courtroom was Mrs. Hilbun. Both were visibly affected. An appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court and immediately after sentence was pronounced, bond was made by Mr. Hilbun. Hilbun was found guilty two weeks ago, but passing of sentence was deferred until the last day of the present court term. The alleged misapplication of the funds dated back to 1929. Woman Receives Sprained Leg in Fall at Residence Following a fall at her home, 11 Logan Court, Northwest, in which she sustained a sprained right leg, Hattie Smith, 50, was treated at Gallinger Hospital early this week. The woman was removed to the hospital in the fire rescue ambulance. RAILROAD SUED FOR $5,000 DAMAGE Widow Alleges an Employee Burned Dead Husband's Right Leg WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.—Mrs. Lula Powell, widow of James R. Powell, who, prior to his death, was an employee of the Southern Railway Company for more than 47 years, filed suit against the railroad company alleging wilful mutilation of her husband's dead body. According to the complaint filed recently in the Forsyth County Court at Winston-Salem, N.C. Mrs. Powell alleges in substance that her husband was killed in the train yards of the railway company, at Pomona, N.C., on the evening of October 16, 1931, and that her husband: body was badly mangled and severed in many pieces. The widow further alleges in her complaint that a part or parts of the body were lodged on defendant's train and carried into the train yard at Spencer, N.C., a distance of approximately 60 miles from the fatal scene, and there the right leg of the body was thrown into a fire box on one of the engines by an employee of the railway company in authority. A paragraph of the complaint reads in part as follows: "The plaintiff is advised and believes and so alleges that her said husband, James B. Powell, was mutilated by the negligent acts and omission of duty by the defendant; that instead of removing the mutilated and badly severed body of the said James R. Powell, and every part thereof, from the tracks of the defendant so that the same could be decently buried, the defendant, through its servants, workmen or agents, carelessly, negligently and wantonly allowed and permitted integral parts of the body of plaintiff's husband to be exposed to the gloating view and curious gaze of throngs of persons." A part of another paragraph of the complaint is as follows: "After learning that the integral part of the body, to wit, the right leg, which had been brought into the Spencer train yard lodged on one of defendant's trains was a part of the body of James R. Powell (defendant's employee in authority) carelessly, negligently and with pagan manifestations and inhuman brutality threw the leg of the deceased in the engine fire box." Mrs. Powell claims damages of $5,000 by reason of mental suffering and nervous shock occasioned by the alleged actions. She is represented by Hosea V. Price, of the firm of Price and Jones. Attorney Price is formerly of Washington, D.C., and is now a leading attorney in North Carolina. Mrs. Dorothy Newsome and her little daughter, Andree, left Saturday to spend the holidays with Mrs. Newsome's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James S. Ennis, in Baltimore, Md. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. DECEMBER 30. 1932 In Shadow of Gallows Gets Fourth Reprieve HATTIESBURG, Miss.—CNS)—Andrew Prince senter ed to hang on December 23 for murder, was granted another executive reprieve until the case of Paul Wexler, white, jointly convicted and sentenced with Prince, is settled. Prince is the State's most important witness in the Wexler case, and Governor Conner acceded to the requests of the trial judge and the prosecuting attorneys and granted the condemned Negro a fourth reprieve until the Supreme Court has ruled on another legal point presented in the second appeal by Wexler. DRIVER TELLS TWO DIFFERENT TALES IN FATAL CRASH White Naval Employee Denies then Admits Striking Man on Road BODY IDENTIFIED The body of the man killed was identified Thursday as that of Arthur Tyler, 1102 Foote Street, Northeast. The identification was made by the dead man's brother, Charles Tyler, 1023 Rover Court, Northwest. Despite the fact that he told two different stories to police, William H. Brumage, 37, white petty officer at the Naval Air Station, Anacostia, was freed by a coroner's jury in connection with the death of an unknown man last Tuesday. The accident occurred on Naylor Road near Thirtieth Street, Southeast, about 1 a.m. The first story told by Brumage was to the effect that his car did not strike the man who was walking in the road. He claimed that a car preceding his struck the man and speeded into Maryland. He told police that after the accident he lost control of his machine and it struck a pole and turned over. Changes Story Later when shown blood spattered on the side of his car Brumage denied the first story and said his car struck the man, but it was unavoidable. His later version was that a car ahead of him barely missed the man who in dodging from the first machine ran into the side of his. Brumage claimed that he tried to avoid striking the pedestrian, but when he jammed on his brakes the rear of his car swerved to one side and struck the man. Persons who were attracted to the scene by the crash called police. An ambulance from Casualty Hospital arrived and physicians pronounced the man dead. Body Unclaimed Although several white persons testified at an inquest at the District Morgue, Wednesday morning, none were eyewitnesses. All came on the scene after the crash. The man's body was found about 25 feet from the overturned machine. Brumage escaped with minor bruises. The man was described as being about 40 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches tall, and weighing about 165 pounds. The body is still unclaimed at the morgue. Finger prints will be taken by police later in the week in an effort to identify the man, who was dressed in rough clothing. Denied Striking Man Officer Francis Waters, of No. 11 Precinct, stated to the jury that Brumage denied striking the man when first arrested, but later admitted hitting the man when shown blood on his car. Detective Sergent Dennis J. Murphy, of the homicide squad, testified that there was a spot of blood on the car about three feet long. Brumage claimed he was too.dizzy to realize whether he had struck the man or the car in front of him. He denied he had been drinking. The jury's verdict was that the accident was unavoidable. An autopsy revealed that the man died of a fractured skull. Claiming He Wanted to Die, Man Tries Suicide Claiming that he had been unemployed for sometime and wanted to die, Rosco Coleman, 24, 1636 Fifth Street, Northwest, attempted to commit suicide by drinking poison at his home early this week. Coleman drank several ounces of iodine and was taken to Freedmen's Hospital for treatment after, being given first aid by the rescue squad. He told police that he wanted to die because he had been out of work for a long time. Held Under $25,000 Bond on Housebreaking Charge William Brwon, 28, was remanded to the grand jury under $25,000 bond when he was arraigned before Judge Ralph Given in Police Court last week. Brown was charged with robbing the home of Henry P. Blair, former District commissioner, of $83 worth of clothes and jewelry. The court was informed by Assistant District Attorney Milford Schwartz that five other charges of housebreaking will be placed against the man. TUSKEGEE CHOIR TO SING IN NEW YORK ONE MONTH A Four-Week Engagement at the International Music Hall NEW YORK (CNS)—William L. Dawson, director of the Tuskegee Choir of one hundred voices, which begins a month's engagement at the International Music Hall, S. H. Rothafel's Radio City enterprise, arrived in New York December 15, with his hundred charges and went directly to the Broadway Central Hotel, at Broadway and Third Street, which has been chartered for the duration of their visit. The fifty boys and fifty girls, who are working their way through the college Booker T. Washington founded for his race in Alabama, were accompanied by three chaperones, a nurse, a press agent, and a number of teachers who will keep them up with their work during their engagement beginning December 27. It is claimed that New York's musical public may expect to hear a new interpretation of the Negro spirituals and work songs from the Tuskegee choir, according to its director, Mr. Dawson, who says: "Every melody has a message. If you don't understand it you can't interpret the melody. That's why, for instance, they have said it was impossible to write a symphony based on the Negro folk music, which I am now doing. It has not been understood. Every bit of it is absolutely serious emotionally. Even songs like 'Ezekiel Saw de Wheel' or 'I Got Shoes' are serious songs, never to be sung to provoke laughter." Mr. Dawson, whose ability has been attested to by Leopold Stokowski, for the conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony has asked him to give that orchestra the symphony based upon Negro folk music that he is now finishing, believes that the spirituals have been misunderstood hitherto. In the two years of his directorship of the choir, which has never sung in this city before, he has scrapped the "barber shop chords" and the other cheap harmonics that have been used in the spirituals' arrangements and devoted himself to working up a choir able to express the absolute seriousness of the songs There is a second and equally important feature to his work, overrever. The United States is one of the few countries in the world where a folk music is still actually being produced. All through the South, except in places too near the great industrial centers, new spirituals, or simply "songs," as their creators call them, for the true "spiritual" to the Southern Negro is the formal hymn, are appearing every year. Mr. Dawson and his students go into the backwoods and note them down, while others are brought to Tuskegee by students from distant parts of the South. One or two have even been discovered at the singing competitions that the Tuskegee choir engages in with villages near the college. He said that two of the finest spirituals he knows, "Holy, Holy," and "It's In His Care," are among the new ones the choir will sing in New York. He said the new songs were different in feeling from the better known and older ones. Rhythmically they are more interesting and varied, but the words are perhaps less pathetic, since there is none of the feeling of enslavement in them that their predecessors betray. From the singing competitions and from song hunting in the hinterland something more has come than just new songs, however. "We have found that where there is but little contact with the outer world, where the creators of the folk-song sing it naturally, they use a special pronunciation," he explained. "They have come to an emphasis on the vowels, almost a doubling of them, and a slurring of the consonants that very nearly approaches the Italian way of song. They have come to it untaught, instinctively, but it adds enormously to the euphony of the words sung and to the emotional effect of the song." In the strictly musical part of the opening program to be given at the new Radio City Music Hall in Rockefeller Center, beginning Tuesday, December 27, the vocal soloists will be Coe Glade, American contralto, formerly of the Chicago Opera; Vera Schwarz, soprano, of the Berlin State Opera, making her American debut; Otto Fassell, German tenor, and the Tuskegee Choir of 100 voices, conducted by William L. Dawson. Howard Professor Wins Radio in Slogan Contest Walter Dyson, Howard professor of history, of 1767 T Street, Northwest, won a Philco radio for writing a winning slogan in the Wilkins Coffee Company slogan contest, it was announced early this week. The contest opened in November, and all contestants had to do was to write a slogan for Wilkins coffee and send it in, together with the top of a Wilkins coffee carton. A brand new 1933 radio was delivered to Professor Dyson immediately after his slogan was adjudged one of the best. Three radios were awarded each week during the contest. DePriest Gets Item (Continued from page 1) DePriest asked for a count of those present. Speaker Garner ordered a roll call, which showed but 205, or ten less than a majority of the present House of 429. There are six vacancies. The call also showed that 110, mostly Republicans, favored DePriest's motion, and 95, largely Democrats, opposed it. Representative Rainey, of Illinois, the Democratic leader, tried to adjourn the House without further action. Representative Mouser (Republican), Ohio, sought to restrain the move, but Mr. Garner declared adjournment after a superficial count in its favor. An interesting feature of this vote bring to light that practically all the Congressmen who voted for the DePriest mo'ic are from the Northern and Western states. It also shows that the majority of those voting against the motion were from the Southern states. The record vote was as follows: Roll call, yeas 138, as follows: Adkins (R), Ill.; Andressen (R), Minn.; Bachmann (R), W.

In rounding up a quorum to do business this week the House leaders also rounded up additional votes for the DePriest amendment. Last Thursday with 110 out of 205, the DePriest proposition got 53 per cent of the total vote of 205, which was ten short of a quorum. With a quorum present, out of a vote of 243, the DePriest amendment got 138 or 56 per cent of the total vote. Speaker Garner and his Parliamentarian also had to recede from their position that it is not necessary to give out the record vote on a roll call. On motion of Mr. Snell, Republican floor leader, it was decided to correct the Journal and Record of last Thursday so as to include the vote suppressed last week by Speaker Garner in his attempt to cover up the identity of the absentees. This action serves notice on the Clerk that he must report daily a true account of the happenings while the House is in session—that is the Journal. And the Official Reporters must chronicle exactly what transpires and cannot expunge, delete or change the Record without the authority of the House. Mr. DePriest, who spent Christmas Day in Chicago, returned on Tuesday to find many letters and telegrams of congratulations awaiting him on his statesman-like procedure and parliamentary moves that in the end won out in the House. Bagnall Dropped (Continued from page 1) which under the tremendous pressure of present conditions we can first spare. We may be forced to go still farther in this direction, although of course, we hope not." "Colored people of the United States will have brought home to them the gravity of the situation confronting the N.A.A.C.P. when they realize that one of the staff members who has served them faithfully for twelve years and has helped to build up the organization has had to be dropped owing to the financial crisis." "The work of the N.A.A.C.P. has trebled. Its income has shrunk especially that part of it derived from branches. Compared with other national organizations, even large industrial concerns, it has done surprisingly well to go on as it has. "But the fact that its largest branches are in industrial cities and that there unemployment particularly among colored people is A at its worst, has terrifically hit the association's chief income. "It should not be forgotten that the association derives 75 per cent of its income from colored people. It has never relied upon a few wealthy contributors. Colored people have gotten into the habit of thinking that the N.A.A.C.P. would always be there to defend them, to step in and avert the direct consequences, whether they stood read to help the organization or not." Sunday School Teacher (Continued from page 1) he diagnosed her illness as pneumonia and he treated her for that But when he realized that her condition warranted hospital treatment he ordered her to an institution where she could have constant care. Had Pneumonia Also Dr. Allen said the girl showed symptoms of pneumonia and she had a temperature of 104. The autopsy also revealed that Miss Seldon was suffering from pneumonia which bore out the diagnosis of Dr. Allen. Dr. Allen said he visited Miss Seldon again on December 15, and stated under questioning by a member of the jury that, as a private physician, it would have been impossible for him to render the necessary treatment while the girl was in her home. She had a cough, chills, and other symptoms which required hospital care. The girl told of her secret love on December 18, while at Garfield Hospital. It was too late at that time for physicians to save her. She successfully kept her secret from the hospital doctors for four days, and only told when she saw that it was impossible to keep it longer. Man Named Crump Officer John Wallace, of No. 2 Precinct, was called to the hospital and sought to learn the name of her lover. The girl refused to inform him. Sergeant Dennis J. Murphy, of the homicide squad, told the jury that an investigation revealed that a man by the name of Crump had been keeping company with the girl. The aged father of the girl told the jury that he did not know the cause of his daughter's illness, but that members of the family thought she was suffering from pneumonia. He stated that she never had company to call on her at home as far as he knew, as he and his wife worked and the girl kept house. Miss Seldon was a former Dunbar High School student, a Sunday school teacher at Galbraith, and a former president of the Christian Endeavor Society. Besides her father she is survived by her mother. Mrs. Elizabeth Seldon; three sisters, Mrs. Loretta Acwith, Miss Gladys and Miss Virgie Seldon, and one brother, Richard Seldon, Jr. Employees Claim White (Continued from page 1) only $10, while white girls and men received much more. Several of the colored employees said they did not believe that tenants advocated the idea of a common fund, but said it originated in the offices of the corporation. They said that in view of the fact that the money was paid through the office that they received less than if they had been given the money by the guests of the apartment.

Mr, Hughes, who is now in Ger- many, left the United States last June with the group of American Negroes who went to Russia, under an agreement to make a film, to depict actual conditions of Negroes in the United States. The Negro Workers’ Committee. aceording to its own statement, was formed in July, 1930, at an international conference of toilers held in Hamburg, Germany. The committee is not a race, but a class organization, organizing and lead- ing the fight in the interest of Ne- gto workers in Africa, the West Indies and other colonies. The committee set forth twelve aims, some of which are as foi- lows: 1, Abolition of forced labour, peonage and slavery. 2. Equal pay for equal work— irrespective of race, colour or sex. 3.Eight-hour day. 4. Government relief for unem- ployed, free rent, no taxes, 5. Freedom to organize trade unions, unemployed councils and peasant committees — right to strike. $. Against racial barriers in trade unions and colour bar in industry. 7. Against capitalist terror — lynching, police and soldier terrorism, arrest and deporta- tation of foreign workers. 8 Against confiscation of pea- sant and communal lands, ‘against taxation of the Ne- gro worker and peasants, 9. To promote and develop the spirit of international solidar- ity between the workers of all colours and nationalities, Under “The Banner of ‘the Red Aid,” the Scottsboro Case is dis- tunsed by A.

Under the mass pressure of the workers, which is expressed in powerful demonstra- tions in front of the American em- baasies in all countries, the Ameri- can capitalists have been compelled to allow a review of the trial of the young Negro workers.” On ‘page 32 of the little maga- zine, Langston Hughes contributes the following poem: GOODBYE CHRIST ths Lakentan Sinwhes ‘Listen, Christ, You did all right in your day, » Treckon— But that day's gone now.

WILEY COLLEGE T0 OPERATE FARM tere orang Richy College plans: to put under culti- vation a 35-acre truck farm begin- ning the first of the year. This farm will be operated under the general oversight of F, D. Fow- land, the local Negro county agri- cultural agent, as a demonstration project. ‘The purpose is two-fold: to cut down cost of operating the school’s subsistence department and inci- dentally to provide assistance for a larger number of students who must work to help pay their school- ing. President Dogan states that in all his thirty-seven years as chief administrator at Wiley, he has never shad to turn down the re- quests of so many deserving stu- ‘dents who needed work to enable ‘them to enter or remain in school. He is asking the alumni and en- dowment secretary to inaugurate @ movement for building up @ scholarship fund £0 meet just such emergencies, The school itself of- fers a few scholarships. It also has a few scholarships provided by its Greek letter fraternities and sororities and a very limited num- ber from individuals who are in- terested in the education of Negro youth and in Wiley College. Now that the sphere of influence of the school is greatly widened, he thinks probably it will be an easier matter to interest people in this movement. The endowment campaign for Wiley, according to latest report, has reached one hundred eighty- seven thousand dollars in subscrip- tions and eash. ‘The goal is $300,- The governing board, as well as other agencies interested in high- er education for Negroes, has set $600,000 ax a minimum necessary endowment fund to secure the con- tinued uninterrupted growth and development of Wiley, $300,000 of which is pledged by ‘the General Education Board on condition that an additional $300,000 is raised through other sources.

Miss Russell was formerly chair- man of the woman's auxiliary of the babies’ ward at the Post Grad- uate Hospital, and was at one time associated with the late J. Pier- pont Morgan in charitable work in the tenement house districts of New York City. Miss Russell left $116,000 in public gifts. The largest of the institutional bequests was one_of $80,000 to the domestic and for- eign mission society of the Pro. testant Episcopal Church in the United States. Among many other bequests Miss Russell willed $5,000 each to Hampton Institute, for an endow. ment of one or more scholarships in memory of Salom Towne Rus- sell ard Adaline Davis Russell; St. Paul Normal and Industrial Schoo! of Lawrenceville, Va., for one ot more scholarships in’ memory of Frances L.

I can only urge upon my children that they give to worthy causes of their own choosing as | have tried to do during my life.” The will filed contains bequests aggregating $15,000 for institu- tions in which Mr. Frissell had been interested. He was widely known for his benefactions to ad- vance the Negro race and in his will he gave $5,000 to the Hamp- ton Normal and Agricultural In- stitute at Hampton, Va.; $1,000 to the New York Urban League; and $500 each to James Gadston and Elijah Hicks, both colored, Old Emancipation Proclamation of Cherokee Nation is Discovered Sage ene. Serine. ‘The emancipation proclamation of the Cherokee nation—an instru- ment that provided for freedom ‘of Negro slaves from Red masters —has been found in old records and it antedates the “no slavery” treaty of the Indians by three years. The act was passed by the Chero- kee council at Covskin prairie in 1863. Spring Frog was speaker of the council, The act stated that “all Negro and other slaves within lands of the Cherokee nation be and are hereby emancipated from slavery.” It provided a fine for violation of the act. “The no slavery” treaty was signed three years later and pro- vided that the Indians be readmit- ted “to protection of the United States but obliged to liberate their Negro slaves and admit them to equal citizenship.” ‘The Cherokee nation was an in- dependent government within the United States and its Red citizens were beyond pale of American law. Their own government was fash- ioned after the United States. The Indians held slaves, but their loy- alty was divided during the War of the Rebellion. Indians sym- pathetic with slavery were or- ganized into “Knights of the Golden Cirele” in 1855 and the organiza- tion’s aim was to protect the insti- tution of slavery. Indians who sympathized with the abolition movement formed the “Ketoowah.” Approximately 8,500 Cherokees joined forces with the Confederacy and about 13,000 were loyal to the Union. In 1861, the nation met in & convention and de- cided to sign a treaty with the Confederacy. However, when the tide turned against the South the Indians agreed to make no such treaty and even disbarred from of- fice Cherokees who had “seceded” and joined the Confederacy. Gov.

LOUIS, Mo,—Seven Negroes were appointed this week — by Sheriff-elect Thomas R, Madden as his deputies. These men were sworn in Wednesday and will take charge of the office January 1, Wednesday there was a large number of spectators on hand, many of whom were curious seek- ers trying to’ find out whether Sheriff Madden was really going to appoint Negro deputies, he being a Democrat while his ‘predecessor was a Republican. Under Sheriff Strodtman, the Republican, there were seven regular Negro deputies, two specials. It is understood that Sheriff Madden is going to appoint more Negroes than the Republleans id. In the Negro-Democratic cireles, the leaders are quite jubilant over the appointments. They point to the fact that Sheriff Madden before he made these appointments visited their headquarters in the Peoples building and spent several hours in conference with them, thus setting a precedent which no sheriff of the Republican faith had done, It will be remembered that Sheriff Madden makes the second Democrat who has given the Ne- groes the same recognition in the way of appointments that the Re- publicans gave them, and Ne leaders point to this as, indieatiye of what may be expected of the Democratic party, generally, in this state. 1 ‘The men appointed were: & William Simmons, 5th ; Carl Glass, 6th ward;’ Edgar Dixon, ‘7th ward; Bennie Taylor, 16th ward; Joseph Marshall, 17th’ ward; Dean Payne, 19th ward; Harrison Holly, 20th ward.

The New Negro in Politics Ry Lativceen SW Wax: It behooves the American Negro to study the: political history of the Jew in America, The average Jew votes for men and movements over and against parties, Their system is evidently effective, when the progress made by them is con- sidered. Race discrimination doubtlessly plays a large part in the elevation of the Jews in politics in contrast to the slow progress made by the Negro in America. Although Jews still have to contend with x cer- fain Amount of religious, bigotry Politics, creed plays a compara- Nb ly small part fi American poli- S. Let us see something about the Jew in politics in America. Two members of the Supreme Court of the United States are Jews. After January 1, four states will have Jewish governors, and quite a num- ber of Jews hold judiciary posts and other positions in national, State, and city governments, According to Henry S, Levy, in the American Hebrew and Jewish Tribune (New York), twelve States, and possibly more, will have Jewish representatives in their State legislatures. He wrote: “New York State, with seven State senators and’ twenty-three assemblymen, has the largest Jew- ish representation in its legislative chambers. Pennsylvania has elect- ‘ed a Jewish representation that in- cludes one State senator and thir- teen assemblymen, “Two Jews will sit in the Massa- ehusetts governor's council, six others have been elected to the lower house. Three senators and five assemblymen comprise the Connecticut delegation. Five Jews will sit in the New Jersey assem- bly. Two assemblymen ‘iave been elected in California, “One Senator and one represent- ative comprise the representation in each of two States, Missouri and Rhode Island. Denver has sent two Jews to the Colorado Legislature. Ohio has elected two senators and one representative to its legislature, while Illinois has clected one State senator and Ne- braska one assemblyi-an.” Now for the American Negro in polities, The first thing we note is the G5 per cest swing to the Demo- crats ir. the last election. We find twelve Republican represenatives to State legislatures, th 2¢ Demo- cratic representatives to State leg- islatures, and one Republican to the United States Congress. There is a Negro Minister to Liberia, a recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia, a speci! so- licitor in the office of the Postmas- ter General. and an assistant Unit- ed States district attorney, Some of the ‘other outstanding positions held by Negroes in t federal service, as the specialist assistant in charge of mal! busi- nesses in the Department of Com- merce and the senior specialist in education under the Secretary of the Interior, are secured through Civil Service examinations (com- petitive) and are non-political in nature. It is interesting and thought. provoking to note that all of these positions held by Negroes are among the 3,000,000 who live above the Mason and Dixon Line, where for the most part Negroes have and practice unmolested use of the ballot and where they get a fair count. In the section where the oe 1,000,000 Negroes are, south Mason and Dixon Line, things are b wee bit different.

Now resolve. "If there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things." That is a very appropriate injunction with which to start—and continue through—the new year of 1933. It is customary for everyone to make some kind of a resolution on New Year's Day. Sunday will be the first day of the week, the month and of the year. A very good day to think on the future, decide upon a program for the year and resolve to carry it out. Aside from our individual program, and yet it is one that vitally concerns every Negro in this country, is our high ratio of sickness, death, infant mortality, illegitimacy, juvenile delinquency, illiteracy, high rate of criminals and a great murder rate. The ratio of each of these items should be lowered in 1933 and they must be if we have any hope of surviving. The continued panic may be the cause for the high rates in illness, death and infant mortality. But whatever the cause, it must be given attention and eliminated. Now is a good time to decide on the part you can play in this program. It is to your own economic advantage to stay well, stay out of bed. How much time is lost while in bed sick? How much salary? How much money goes to the doctor, the druggist, the hospital, the nurse? Can we not be more careful of what we eat, when we eat, where we eat and how we eat? All of which has a bearing on our health. We can eat ourselves sick or we can keep well by proper eating. Nearly every cold comes from improper food. "Think on these things," before forming your New Year's resolutions. See if you can not devise a way to improve your health. Negroes in this county throw away millions of dollars each year on account of preventive illness. Untimely deaths take a heavy toll each year among Negroes. And to add to this unnecessary loss we pile up more expense in extravagant funerals. This is a heavy drain upon our people and we should resolve not to let sentiment run riot with reason. While we have a higher birth rate than our white neighbors, we also have a higher infant mortality. Too many Negro babies die unnecessarily. In this number is an increasing "still birth" rate. This rate has been on the increase for the past two years. No doubt our poor economic condition enters into this rate. But what are we doing to improve our economic status? There are too many Negro babies born out of wedlock. We are drifting away from our family ties, home life and moral status. Is our religion failing us? Can we not improve this moral cancer in 1933? We realize that we are poor and have a wretched home life in certain localities of every community but this evil is not confined to the alleys and hovels and shacks. It is increasing even among our college students. It would surprise you to know the number of girls sent home last year from our colleges for this evil. What shall we do in 1933 to curb it? In the matter of juvenile delinquency we find several factors which contribute to this increasing evil. Poor home life, low economic status and lack of information, the disregard of time and the lack of knowledge of responsibility. Can we include this in our 1933 program? There is a rising tide of crime among our people that is alarming. Our Southern cities lead the country in murders committed by Negroes. Memphis, Tenn., stands at the head of the list. We realize that race prejudice on the part of the police enters into our high rate of arrests and jail sentences but there is no race prejudice in one Negro killing another. What can we do in 1933 to lower our crime rate? It seems odd that we should flock to the churches and maintain a high rate of membership therein while on the other hand our crime wave runs so high. Is that consistent? If our education and religion will not check and inhibit our criminal propensities then what can we hope for? "Think on these things" for 1933. Summing it up if we are to continue to make progress—we have broken all records in achieving education, entering into business, writing our names in science, art and literature—and become a race worth while, we must improve our home life. We must take up the rudiments and fundamentals of life and society in the home. Our moral fibre must be strengthened in the home. Loyalty, industry and responsibility must be stressed in the home. The teaching of the school will be of little weight in these things. Jesus Christ, the great moral teacher of the world was born in a stable and was reared in poverty. Our schools have failed us in moral suasion, our churches are losing their influence over our moral training. We must get back to the fundamental unit of society and government—the home. What can we do to improve our home life, to enhance our moral influence and become healthy, happy, useful citizens in 1933? Now resolve. Incredible But True ory financial mess of the N.

The unsavory financial mess of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company has been brought to light by the report of the actuaries. It appears that S. W. Rutherford, R. H. Rutherford and Mortimer F. Smith endeavored to do what they were not capable of doing—to handle millions of dollars of the people's money without the first knowledge of big business. The report shows that the National Benefit has been in the red since 1926. It seems almost incredible that an insurance company with its home office in the District of Columbia could be permitted to run five years under such conditions as obtained in this company. It is a reflection on our insurance department that it permitted this to go on. The failure of this company brings to light the fact that the Rutherfords and Smith were the most incapable men ever to head a million-dollar business. Their system of records is the most incongruous ever kept by an insurance company. The report shows that the stock and mortgage manipulations are unspeakably shocking and incredibly confused. Such evidence as this along with the Victory Life should begin to impress the most stupid that Negroes have not yet reach the point of mastering big business.

What inconsistency and hypocrisy S. W. Rutherford demonstrated in 1929 when he accepted the Harmon award as the Negro who had accomplished the most for the race in business. What did he mean that night at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, when he said, "I have arrived"? He was then insolvent and had been for three years. He had "arrived" at the end of his rope and was floundering, not knowing what to do next. The failure of the National Benefit was a terrible blow to Negro business and Negro confidence in Negroes in business. It is made worse if the insurance laws of the District are so incredibly slipshod that those responsible for this debacle will not be prosecuted. We Must Learn to Out-work and Under-Live The Jew Has Thrived on Cast-off Clothing and Second-Hand Junk. The earth is now blanketed with ten inches of snow. The farmers are experiencing a depth of depression even beyond that of their urban partners in distress. It does seem to be the height of audacity for me to sit in my comfortable library on such a morning as this and advise that the Negro should seek relief on the farm. Mahatma Gandhi, the philosopher saint of India, finding his country bound hand and foot in the clutch of European machinery, advises them to eschew technogracy and revert to the more primitive processes of agriculture and the spinning wheel. No more audacious advice has ever been given by a leader to his people. His advice is based on that old philosophy of prudence: "Where 'tis hard to combat, learn to flee." In my last release, I pointed out the gloomy prospect of the urban Negro. While in present numbers, he might linger there and find some sort of a minor place of meager subsistence and comforts, yet there is there no promised land to fulfill his hopes, ambitions and aspirations. URBAN NEGROES RESEMBLE UNDERBRUSH The urban Negro, like the underbrush in the forest, is shut out from the sunlight by the over-towering surroundings. While he may be shielded and sheltered from the stormy blasts he must pay the price of that protection by being destined to an emaciated and pungy growth. No human group can become robust and vigorous by being brought up in the shade. Every vigorous and robust people must find a place in the sun. The whites are now abandoning the farm because of the hard conditions of existence. They are filling up the cities and monopolizing every available avenue of opportunity. Belonging to the preferred class they take what they choose and leave the Negro only the leavings. In order to survive in this industrial conflict, we must learn to out-work and under-live our white competitor. This has been the secret and method of the Jew throughout the ages. He has thriven on what the Gentiles disdained. WHAT OTHERS ABANDON Every time the white man abandons a farm, especially in the milder latitudes which furnish a congenial habitat, I would like to see the Negro take it up. He should value what the white man surrenders just as the Jew has worked his way to independence and competence by dealing in cast-off clothing and second-hand junk. The conditions on the farm are indeed hard and exacting. It is utterly impossible to maintain the urban standard of living. But sub- WEEK-END MOSAICS By Albernon B. Jackson, M.D. A DEPRESSION DISEASE The Baltimore health department some months ago reported a series of unusual cases of lead poisoning, mostly among Negro families. Truly this was a depression disease, for it was found out that these families, hard pushed for fuel, had been burning discarded battery casings. Junk dealers in the city after stripping these casings of the lead plates had distributed them without cost to poor persons. These casings even after being stripped of the plates still carried quite a bit of lead deposit in them. When they are burned fumes are given off which cause lead poisoning from inhalation. After the discovery of the strange conditions, very careful investigations were made by the health department, the various hospitals and scientific institutions. In this way the cause of the unusual malady was determined by tests which are regarded by physicians as reliable and satisfactory. Now that the cause has been de- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. DECEMBER 30, 1932 sistence is possible which is more than can be said of the urban Negro should depression and unemployment hold out as they now threaten to do. On the land, the Negro is on terms of comparative equality with white competitors. The ground will yield with equal readiness to the persuasion of white or black tiller. The markets are color blind. Whereas he is hopelessly out-pointed in city competition, in the country he has an even break. In the city he is suppressed below the level of white competition and is relegated to the lower ranks of manual and menial service. However thrifty, the waiter, the domestic and the hired-hand worker may seem to be, he can never be of first class importance in the general scheme of things. Proprietorship develops character and power. The independent farmer is celebrated in song and story. But no muse has yet inspired the pen of genius to extol the cook, the waiter and the scullion. Every farmer who owns or rents his farm becomes his own proprietor and directs his own energies. A farm is a tool of production through which the owner makes his living. CITY HOME USUALLY A DEAD WEIGHT The city home is dead weight hung as it were about the neck of the owner. This is especially true of the city Negro who has been weighted down by extragavant homes and placed under a burden of debt under which he must stagger for another generation. The farm, I know, is also mortgaged but some way is bound to be found by the state and general governments to lessen the load of these farm incumbrances. I am no overnight convert to this doctrine. I have been preaching it for forty years. I have watched the inrush of Negroes to the cities with many misgivings. They are attracted to these glittering centers as the moth by the glare of the electric light. OPPORTUNITIES IN CITIES ARE FOR WHITES. In this urban movement, black men imitate the whites without intelligence. The white man leaves the country for the city because he finds a better opportunity. Whatever opportunities the city affords are his. But the poor misguided Negro has no such advantage. He too often finds his last state worse than the first. Some thirty years ago I extolled the experiments then under way at Boley, Okla., and Mound Bayou, Mississippi. These bold enterprises have had their ups and downs during the past three decades. And yet they still stand out as being perhaps the boldest and most creditable efforts of Negro leadership towards self-direction along the line of associated endeavor. Philanthropy which has been lavishing millions of dollars on Negro welfare might do well to turn serious attention of the race towards development of a rural foundation which alone seems destined to assure him an important and permanent place in our industrial and economic scheme. termined, such outbreaks are not liable to occur again. The junk dealers are co-operating with the health department by no longer distributing the old battery casings. Now they are being disposed of in the city incinerators. The strange condition is mentioned in order to warn persons against using old battery casings for fuel, because they are dangerous and can produce serious consequences when the fumes from their burning are inhaled.

Objection to Social Equality is Mere Pretense By CARTER G. WOODSON Editor of the Journal of Negro History Our Leaders Talk One Way but Act Differently as to Marriage Relationship. During the migration of the World War I developed the habit of stopping for an hour or so at Union Station in Washington before going on to the Library of Congress to plunge into historical research. Very soon I found that I was learning much more about life by talking with these people from the South than from my study of books in the national archives. Those migrants, too, proved to be so interesting that I began to enjoy being with them; and even today when the travel is heavy I always go to Union Station to see my people who have been living North and are now returning South or going in the opposite direction. I always find there the opportunity to do good. Someone is in too much of a hurry to explain to a stranger what I may give in detail and in the language which he can understand. Some poor colored woman may not be able to pay a "red cap" to handle her baggage, and that gives me the opportunity to assist. WHITE WCMAN ATTENTIVE TO NEGRO CHILDREN At this cosmopolitan center sometimes you find everything moving along smoothly. A few days ago I was favorably impressed with the attitude of the white lady in charge of the Travelers' Aid desk at Union Station. Two little dark brown children, evidently with no one to direct them on their way, were cozily seated at a table near her and were made as comfortable as the situation permitted. She seemed to exercise as much care in looking after them as if they were her own children. The spirit of it so stirred me that I could hardly restrain myself from inquiring about these children. I wanted to thank her for the kind treatment accorded them. But why should any one be thanked for doing his duty? RED CAPS DISCOURTEOUS TO BLACK WOMAN The very next evening when I stopped at Union Station, however, I saw a demonstration to the contrary. A black woman on her way South had been delayed by her train running late because of the recent heavy snow-fall. According to the schedule the train was due to leave, but she could get no definite information from the men at the information desk for the reason that they did not know themselves. She called on first one "red cap" and then another, but they decidedly discoureous and rude. One said, "I don't know"; another said, "I told you once the train had not come in"; and a third, "There's no use of my bothering with you or your baggage now. I'll take you out there but I won't wait for you. What's the matter with you anyway?" Thereupon I came into the picture. I quieted this black woman, took charge of her baggage, and brought her from minute to minute all the information about the train available. Later I connected her with the train and sent her on the way to South Carolina, where some dear one doubtless rejoiced to see her during the great season. While this black woman was having all this trouble for lack of attention, however, the situation was just to the contrary with a white colored woman who was sitting on the same bench. As soon as the "red caps" found out that she was not actually white and would chat with a brown fellow, they began to flock to her. One to k charge of her baggage, another undertook to entertain her, and still another hurriedly ran her errands. So many rushed to her that one would have thought that she was to be a queen of a "red caps!" convention. In fact, the white colored woman had so much attention lavished upon her that she was considerate enough to try occasionally to console the disturbed black woman whom I assisted. Yet this black woman was better looking than the white colored woman and exhibited more culture and refinement. These Negroes, however, could not see these things. They were attracted by a white face. And this very thing presents a most undesirable aspect of Negro life. We put a premium on white and then object to discrimination which we suffer at the hands of white people. As a rule, the Negro, whether he be almost white or very black, wants to marry a white woman or a colored one with as much white blood as possible. The perfectly black woman has a hard time in impressing our men, and if the social barriers were not as high as they are it would be extremely difficult for a black woman to find a husband. DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL 1933—AND THE NEGRO Where there is need there is opportunity and where there is opportunity there is work. Thus the Negro finds himself facing a New Year plentifully filled with opportunity if he will but make use of it. * * * * Politically, just now, the Negro's sphere of influence is grossly exaggerated. The Democrats throughout the country, won by such a sweeping majority that it is safe to assume that they will not voluntarily dispense much patronage among a minority group—until another election is close at hand. The Republicans will be so busy gathering together the parts of their machine that it will take some time before they will be in a position to even make gestures of a promising nature. This very divergency of political affairs creates an opportunity for unselfish, astute, wise and uncompromising leaders to organize the Negro electorate and so concentrate, increase and conserve the strength of the Negro minority until such a time as its force can be effectually demonstrated in behalf of good government which must include a just and equal consideration of the Negro. ****** In the field of business and finance the Negro has unlimited opportunity to prove the business genius of the race. There are many business organizations which are in an excellent position to help us, if we, ourselves, will patronize OUR MAIL BAG OUR MAIL BAG --- A WORD OF THANKS TO THE DEFENDER OF THE RACE'S FAIR SEX. To the Editor: In a recent issue on the editorial page was an article written by the author of "Negro Life and History," Carter G. Woodson. The Our race leaders, however, will say that this is not true. They secure positions and raise money among white men by pretending that they do not believe in race admixture; and white men, easily deceived by such hypocrisy, actually think that these Negro spokesmen object to what they call social equality. Yet any one knows that they are falsifying, for they act to the contrary whenever they have a chance. A man is what he does, not what he says. As a matter of fact, no sane man can reasonably object to any sort of equality for himself. It is natural for a man to desire to do anything within the range of human possibility as long as he gets enjoyment therefrom and does not injure his fellow man. No one with good judgment would urge that hereafter all Negroes should marry whites or that all Filipinos should marry Chinese. There is such a thing as race instinct which tends to keep them going very much in the way they have developed, but in case a person in one race becomes enamored of another to the extent that the one cannot be happy without the other, there can be no reasonable objection to such a marriage; and I doubt the common sense and sincerity of the Negroes who express themselves to the contrary. On the other hand, such a marriage should not be projected upon the color of the individual but the worth of one which may appeal to the other, regardless of the race to which he belongs. Only people who are partly insane believe that a woman is pretty because she happens to be white or ugly because she happens to be black. She may be black and comely, beautiful and black, even beautifully black. Our unsound attitude in this matter has resulted from being misduactuated by the oppressor. For this reason we are still making life intolerable for ourselves. WE SHOW COLOR PREJUDICE IN MANY WAYS. This attitude, too, is evident in other spheres. Negroes are so prejudiced against black people that they do not like to use food handled by them. They just look dirty whether they are or not, when viewed from the eyes of prejudiced people. White, too, has another significance for Negroes as explained by the old colored woman who said she walked by a Negro grocery to patronize a white one because she had discovered that the sugar sold by the white man was sweeter than that offered by the Negro. $^4$A church in Washington, D.C., not long ago refused to call one of the most brilliant men in the United States because he happened to be black, and most of the members of that congregation have a large infusion of the blood of "that palefaced nation" which my father used to take to the throne of grace in his family prayers. I am beginning to understand that prayer now. The "pale-faced nation" has a great responsibility resting upon it. This highly favored group has all that it can produce; and the Negroes offer in addition whatever they possess. RACE LEADERS ARE DISSEMBLERS their efforts. It is a reflection on the entire race when such an organization as the National Colored Merchants' Stores, Inc., is unable to further extend its activities because of lack of support from the Negroes themselves. Other organizations including the Victory Life Insurance Company, and the Douglass National Bank of Chicago offer excellent opportunities for men of vision, capital and ability. With many hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets tied up in these two companies, surely the race has a sufficient amount of pride, energy and dormant capital that can be massed together to put them on their feet, thus providing opportunities of employment for thousands of our boys and girls. Taken as a whole, I fail to see wherein the Negro's religious and educational leaders are improving conditions in the race. The small leader is so petty and self-centered, seemingly, that all his time is taken up in providing his own sustance, while the larger leaders are busily engaged in developing and defending factional fights. Here, then, is a field with many opportunities for Negroes to combine forces and do something constructive and uplifting. Yes, there's opportunity everywhere, and it will be interesting to record, during the coming year, and give publicity to, the progressive and fruitful efforts made by Negroes in their respective fields of endeavor. And to all such, this writer offers a sincere co-operation. text of the article was so unusual, coming from a colored man, that I have taken it upon myself to thank him for the article, a thing every black woman in America should do. Of course we women have known for a long time that our men hold us in very little esteem, but we certainly did not know that they, even one man, knew it. The black woman has been trampled ever since the master took advantage of her back in slave days. Black men then were taught to ignore their women, and the result of early training has been a stigma to both groups, male and female. In slavery it was as much as his life was worth for a black man to try to protect his womanhood, and to be honest, perhaps, the women would have given him very little credit, had he tried. Now, we long for and look for the esteem of our men, but it is sadly lacking. Mr. Woodson urged that employment for women be put on a higher plane. He spoke of how employers often take advantage of their employees. How well many of us know it. If we speak, we are accused of duplicity; if we keep silent we become mere pawns in the struggle for existence, and we trade our virtue for a job, often endangering our reputation, by the things that leak out. The woman suffers in most cases, whereas the man is pitted, even by his wife, and all of his friends quickly aver that he is the victim of some designing minx who is taking a mean advantage of him, poor, little, weak little, unprotected man. A lot of women are ragged and out of work, from many reasons, but chief among them is some refuse to sell their righteousness for a bunch of filthy rags, bought at some wife's expense. Thank you again, Mr. Woodson. In his last paragraph he spoke of how far above man the average colored woman is. Again we say, "O. K., Mr. Woodson." We women have also known that fact for some time, but we also know that our men, like Schuyler, have such little regard for the integrity, the intelligence, and the appearance of the average colored woman, that as soon as fame or fortune comes his way, he reaches out with the long arms of greed and desire, and snatches forth from the other race a reluctant white woman, who comes to him for the sake, not only of sharing his laurels, but to wrest them from him and carry them back to her own race, when, either she tires of him, or he conveniently dies. Of course, we acknowledge that there are women in the race who are ashamed that they are colored, not so much from the color alone as from the disadvantages the color brings, but there are also other women, black women, such as Mrs. Bethune, Miss Burroughs, Mrs. Barrett, who have blazed trails for black girls to follow; who have gone ahead in spite of color; who have won high regard from both races; and who can afford to look down upon the black men who have no regard for black womanhood. Who am I? Oh, nobody much; just one of the black women on the sidelines of life, really occupying a bleacher-seat, but who gets a real kick out of watching the game in the huge arena of life, where our black men, preachers and laymen, alike, are so busy fighting for leadership, that they cannot see they are losing the game, in an economical, educational, and spiritual way. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL S. B. MARZE. IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By G. LESLIE FRAZIER "The Broken Vase" This book carries out the tradition of all gifted writers to the extent of producing in each new story some phase of life entirely new to previous readers, yet with all the charm that has been associated with his earlier books. Thus Marie de S. Canavarro presents, in "The Broken Vase' a novel of unequalled beauty, a story profoundly moving in its understanding and vivid telling, with the years of the Great War as a background. Her character delicacies are true and vivid, giving the reader a sense of reality that lifts the story to permanent heights; they create their own world, where they will live in the memory of readers as do all the distinctive characters of fiction, created by genius. The book is more than thrilling and entertaining, it gives you glimpses into undreamed of elements of life that will fascinate, and hold your close attention. The Christopher Publishing House, 1140 Columbus Avenue, Boston. Cloth, price $2.00. "Eugenic Victoria?" Another worthwhile Christopher publication is "Eugenie Victoria?", a drama in four acts, by Leon I. Leon. The author writes of real people, who have been a part of his life. They are flesh and blood, and whose aspirations, perspectives and motives are common to many, and whose acquaintance with them dates back many years (of course, under other names). The author says: "To my young, inexperienced mind, the subject which seemed of greatest importance to them seemed to me a futile quest. The years that passed between then and the time I have recorded the incidents of this play, served only to strengthen my conviction that it was pregnant with dangerous consequences. Today, more than ever before this is my considered belief." Cloth, price $1.50. "The Reign of the Nightriders Elizabeth Levin, author of "The Reign of the Nightriders," is one of those exceptional personalities in whom you are bound to become so interested that you are prepared to make a rush for anything she may write. Her novel, "The Northington Dollar," is an outstanding example of the success that a woman like Mrs. Levin achieves because, her life having been from the beginning one of marked adventure, in unusual surroundings, she is especially able to write a story that thrills with delight the jaded reader who is sure he will find nothing new, in a new book. Like all authors of real genius, Elizabeth Levin modestly disclaims any special ability, remarking that she "possessed the urge to prevaricate and tried to commercialize my nervous tendencies." Speaking of her childhood, she says: "All the sweets I ever had I sucked through a straw from the sap of sugar trees, having run wild in the hills of Kentucky. I take the characteristics of my friends and build characters to suit the theme of my story. I let my young friends name the leads, to make sure that they will be pleasing to readers of any age." The story is colored with a bit of the local history of Kentucky—such history that is worth knowing, but the kind that does not often find its way into the histories that we consider from a national viewpoint. A Christopher publication. Price $2.00. "Lina Sarger" In "Lina Sarger," the author, Marque Maier, has dared to express freely the truth that few people ever venture to mention above a whisper: namely, that life is a trial and struggle, even at its alone; that spiritual values alone are capable of sustaining us in adversity and buoying us up with renewed hope. The author's philosophy of wholesome uplift is evident here, as in his two previous novels. Because of their spectacular nature, their drastic influence is modifying our lives. Birth and death strike us most impressively; yet Marie shows that life's broad current moves, unbroken, from generation, though often diverted by sudden cataclysms, while the vast stream of humanity flows eternally onward in its infinite channel.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL The Yuletide Season Opens Social Life of Washington The social realm of the nation's capital, has been somewhat dormant since the Thanksgiving Holidays, but with the Yuletide, the social life of the city has been opened and Washington is Washington again, with its gaiety and merry-making. The constant visiting of friends and the greeting of the season's best wishes, has made the city seem as if it has been rejuvenated. With the Alpha Convention convening here, and the Omegas a little more than a hundred miles from here, in Richmond, Va., this will keep the highways crowded—with gay and fun making crowds—attending the various social functions of these two Greek letter fraternities. A number of joy seeking Washingtonians, left the city Thursday afternoon for Richmond, to be among those present at the grand reception of the Omegas. Ole St. Nick is supposed to be riding on his donkey more so this Christmas than ever, but it seems as though he came in a high powered motor car, from the number of gifts persons exchanged. Of course, there were a number of private cocktail and bridge parties, and a number of dances during the holidays, which made life a little brighter. The Appomattox Tuesday night was a unique affair; and the "Men About Town" and Alphas on Thursday were both something to put down in one's diary. The local chapter of Alphas will entertain their visiting brothers with a banquet and smoker tonight (Friday). The Old Year Dies The Old year dies! The New is born! The shades of night give place to morn. The shattered hopes of days gone by; The fallen tear;—the heavy sigh; Those things I planned to do and be Are now no more a part of me; The doubts and fears that held me fast Are shadows now that make the Past. Today is mine—another year To crown with joy or dim with fear; To build again my dreams and faith; To turn again to life from death; 'Tis mine to shape to meet my needs; To fill with kind and loving deeds; A soldier brave and true to be; To bear the pain that comes to me; To face the world with ready grin; To go into the fight to win; To fill my life with joy and song; To choose the sight and leave the wrong The Old year dies! The New is born! And as I rise to greet the morn And look back o'er the year that's done At victries lost and victries won, I know that I'm alone to blame If I have met with grief and shame. Last year was mine; it was my duty To make of it a thing of beauty;— So if it's stripped of rosy glow It is because I made it so. Yet for lost dreams I do not pine;— Another golden year is mine! Laying aside my grief and fear, I thank God for the opening year!

RICHARD H. CHAPMAN, Pres JOHN H. WILLIAMS, Sec. YOUR BIRTHDAY She was born in old Kentucky, In the year of nineteen ten. Where the women are so lucky, To attract the world of men. Where the fast race-horse is famous, And the blue grass grows so tall, Where the country is mountainous, And the rivers twist and sprawl. Where the corn and rye grow healthy, And in Sunnybrook are made. Where the subtle men grow wealthy As they ply their matchless trade. Where the dove that coos so mournful, On the fence-rail by moonlight. And the lasses wake so bashful, As the cock-crow swallows night. And the milk-maid goes a humming. On her way to milk old Bess, Thinking of the days a-coming, That will be sweet happiness. To the girl of brown complexion, And black hair of lovely hue, Dreamy eyes that show affection And a figure shr pely too. You have won my love and honour, And I bless you dear this way, While to you my soul I anchor, As I sing of your birthday.

Grace Gray DeLong Grace Gray DeLong "The Little White Mother" America's "Ace" Adviser New Address: 725 Eleventh St., N.W. between "G" and "H" Sts. near Palais Royal Store Phone: METROPOLITAN 5234 (Formerly at 917 N. Y. Avenue) Women and Politics Mrs. Blanche Beatty Washington The people of the United States have taken two very definite steps toward the heights of moral sublimity in a score of years. These are expressed in the 18th and 19th Amendments to the Constitution, the former fixing a lofty ideal of temperance before the eyes of our youth to be achieved by practical enforcement legislation, the latter granting to the womanhood of the nation the right of franchise. Woman of valor, strength and ability fought through many long, weary years for the enactment of these two outstanding bits of American law, believing them vitally necessary for the protection of their homes and firesides. Bitter foes of woman's suffrage contended that the family, our most treasured institution, would be jeopardized by woman's participation in politics, while its strong advocates, visualized happier homes, healthier children, a deeper national sense of social justice because the mother heart and love was given a place in both scientific and practical politics. Woman Queen of Home Despite the fact that economic conditions are forcing women more and more each year into the ranks of the bread winners, it is not less true today than in the days of the ideal woman of the Old Testament History, that women were created to reign as queens of the home and to become the mothers of men and their activities in shop, factory, classroom or at the ballot box are justified only in proportion to the contribution such efforts make directly or indirectly to happier more efficient home life. Granting Francis Willard's assertion correct that the Mission of the Ideal Woman is to make the whole world homelike, can the American woman in politics submit proof to even the most cynical of the wisdom of the 19th Amendment in this day when repeal like a dreaded spectre comes up ever and anon to threaten the security of legislation that marks the climax of hard-fought battles under the banner of civic righteousness? Five Test Questions 1. Has the standard of the American home been lowered because she mother, the center around whom the home revolves, has participated in the affairs of Government? 2. Has the childlife of the land suffered because mother goes to the polls on election day? 3. Is Christian culture through churches and schools and social agencies, found in greater or less degree during the twelve years in which women have freely exercised their franchise rights? 4. Do human beings live and work under better conditions in both urban and rural communities since women have enjoyed equal rights on governing boards and commissions? 5. Has woman's entrance into politics brought us nearer to world peace and fellowship? Answers to the five foregoing questions either justify or condemn the existence of the 19th Amendment granting to American women political rights. Work for Better Homes The universal depression, which now engulfs the world sparing not our fair land, has had a tendency to disintegrate the forces that make for the best in family life. Decreased incomes have forced families into bad housing conditions where over-crowding presents mortal and physical handicaps. Here the woman has used her ballot to promote men and measures that gave evidence of social vision and an appreciation of the fact that children have the right to be well-born and to be prepared to meet the new and dazzling contacts of life. The White House Conference Supping suoH pus SusnoH no was the outgrowth of woman's touch in the field of American politics, setting in motion activities throughout the land that shall mean better homes everywhere. Many of the most serious Governmental problems would be solved, if there might be just one generation of children, strong physically, mentally, and spiritually and developed to meet the situation of modern civilization. Realizing this, women have sought through political action to have the national Government give special attention to child life, the Children's Bureau and the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection, being conspicuous examples of the results attained. Once the home, was the sole training center for the child. Now, the public school, the playground, the girls' and boys' clubs and organizations all play an important part in the child's development. The use of the ballot and the study of civic issues involving questions of peculiar interest to these cultural agencies have enabled the womanhood of the land to see that the American child has life and has it more abundantly than any child in the civilized world. Schools for the special care of handicapped and deficient children, children's hospitals and clinics, juvenile courts with constructive programs, day nurseries and kindergartens, supported by public funds all attest the value of woman's ballot. Support Progressive Measures Nor has the field of industry and labor sediped the fine touch of feminine love and care since the advent of the woman in politics. Women have invariably stood for whichease conditions for the workman in field and factory for the shortening of the working day to afford time for needed recreation and family contacts with loved ones at home. The woman's vote can always be counted upon for such legislation as promises to lessen the risk of human life, to check the exploitation of child labor and guarantee a humanitarian spirit toward the man farthest down; in every movement that has for its purpose relief of suffering and the opening of a door of opportunity for the underprivileged. In matters of this sort women have exhibited marked courage and persistence. There is hope for victory in the fight against lynching and mob-violence in America, since the women of the South have courageously set their faces against this vicious lawlessness destined to weaken the moral fabric of their homes and children. The molding of public sentiment against this evil is the first effective step toward federal legislation against it. The enfranchised women of the country will unitedly win the battle. Women Are Against War Mothers, who in days gone by were forced to sit helplessly by and seethe Government rush maddly into the carnage of warfare which tore from their embraces their sons and husbands, welcomed the privilege, through enfranchisement of using their influence at home and abroad for peace and a lessening of expenditures for munitions and other implements of warfare. Today in every civilized country women are organized against human warfare and an international group led by our own Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, is devoted to the promotion of peace and good will among men. That humanity everywhere has profited by the civic emancipation of womankind is beyond gainssaying, and the writer urges that women of all races and political creeds in larger numbers devote themselves to the study of the science of Government, both past and present to the end that they may intelligently co-operate with the male voters of the land in such activities as shall hold our construction program fast to the plans and ideals set forth in the constitution so prayerfully wrought out by the builders. It is the foundation for national structure which must ever remain the finest environment in which a child, earth's fairest treasure may be born. FISK UNIVERSITY CHOIR TOUR BEGINS JANUARY 15,1933 NASHVILLE, Teenn, Dec. 3—On January 15, the Fisk University choir will sing in Detroit, Mich., the first of the eleven cities in which it is to appear on the tour covering two weeks. The choir is composed of sixty college men and women under the direction of Ray Francis Brown and the assistant directorship of Mrc. James A. Myers, who is in charge of the spirituals. It will present to its audiences an unusual repertory of sacred unaccompanied music ranging from the extremely difficult church music of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries to productions by well known contemporary composers as Dett, Christiansen, Rachmaninoff, and T. Terius Noble. For the first time in the history of the choir it can sing with genuine fervor "I Got a Robe" for now it has vestments, a personal gift of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Roekefeller, Jr. The choir is being backed financially by Paul D. Cr.vath, chairman of the Board of Trustees and president of the Metropolitan Opera Company. T. Tertius Noble, organist and choirmaster of the St. Thomas Church in New York City, who was guest conductor of the choir last spring was so impressed by its singing, that he wrote last summer "O Saered Head Surrounded" and dedicated it to Mr. Brown and the Fisk University Choir. He is to conduct a group of his own compositions on each program of the tour. David Mannes, head of the Daven Mannes Music School and chairman of the music committee of the Fisk Board, is cooperating with Mr. Brown and Mrs. Myers to see that the tour is artistically successful. Mrs. Ethel Bedient Gilbert, director of publicity, for the past five years at Fisk, has general charge of the tour. She hopes to find great interest among all Fisk Alumni and Negroes in general in this very large undertaking. After five years of relentless work Fisk has made an unusual accomplishment. But behind these five years are sixty years of tradition which have made the singing of the a cappella music a natural undertaking. There has been a growing musical tradition at Fisk. In 1871 the first Jubilee Singers went out to sing their way into the hearts of the world with their spirituals. Five years lated in 1876 the Mozart Society was founded to study the classics as well as the spirituals, for from the earliest days it has been a practice at Fisk to teach the best of the world's music. Out of this two-fold tradition of the singing of the spirituals and of classical music has come the present a capellae choir which made so great an impression through its series of coast to coast: broadcasts over the Columbia Broadcasting System, one of which was transmitted to Europe. The itinerary of the choir is as follows: January 15th, Detroit; 16th, Cleveland; 18th, Pittsburgh; 19th, Hartford; 20th, New Haven; 22nd, Providence; 23rd, Boston or suburb; 23rd, Weygart; 24th New York City; 27th, Syracuse and 29th, Aaron.

Frazier Now that the "north wind doth blow, and we shall have snow," we are thinking of the holiday's close. We must not forget to keep the beautiful custom of receiving one's guests on New Year's without special invitation. In the old days of our grand-mothers New Year's day open house was the most important day of the year. Christmas was a private affair for one's own family and relatives, but New Year's Day was the time for general gayety, with music and dancing and loaded tables of everything good that one could eat. OYST 1½ pints ½ cup t 3 tables juice ¼ cup f 2 tables radish ½ teaspoon Tabas Drain the pieces of sh cocktail glass to the oyster Today our entertainments are more simple, with less lavish varieties of food, but the friendly feeling and hominess which are really the only things worth while may be present today in just as large a measure. The cutting of the fruit cake, so dark and rich with fruits and spices, is still the custom on this occasion. Fruit cake made at home, of the cherished recipe which has been handed down for several generations, a very mosaic of good things, each slice a tidbit which is eaten bit by bit to honor every crumb. For those who still enjoy a fruit cake and like to make it, the following is a cherished recipe which once tried will be carefully kept to pass on in the family, to use at weddings and at holiday times: FRUIT CAKE Take one cupful each of molasses, brown sugar, white sugar, coffee and butter. Cream the butter, add the sugar and six eggs well beaten. Take two pounds of raisins, one pound of currants, one-half pound of citron, one-half pound each of dates and figs, one pound of chopped walnut meats, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful of cloves, the same of nutmeg and allspice, two cupfuls of chopped apples, a half teaspoonful of salt, four cupfuls of flour Chop the fruit or cut fine, add a little of the flour to cover. Mix as usual and steam three hours and bake one. Another Fruit Cake Recipe 1 cup butter 2 cups light brown sugar 4 eggs 3 teaspoons vanilla 2 tablespoons lemon juice 14 teaspoon salt 1½ cup chopped candied pine- peel orange peel ½ cup chopped_candied cherries ½ cup chopped citron ½ cup chopped almonds ½ cup chopped dates 4 cups flour 1 teaspoon soda Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, lemon and grape juices. Beat 3 minutes. Add rest of ingredients. Mix well. Four into 2 loaf pans lined with waxed papers. Bake 1½ hours in slow oven. Unmold, cool and wrap in waxed paper. CRANBERRY RELISH Take two cupfuls each of sour or cooking apples, put through the coarse knife of the food chopper with two cupfuls of cranberries, add one cupful of sugar, one-fourth cupful of pecan meats finely shredded and set away for two or three days to season. This is delicious with turkey or goose. INDIAN CHUTNEY Take one pound of sour apples peeled and sliced; one-half pound of onions peeled and coarsely chopped, one pound of brown sugar (the light brown), one-half pound of raisins cut fine, four ounces each of salt and ginger, two ounces of dry mustard, one-half ounce of cayenne, four cloves of garlic finely chopped, and one quart of mild vinegar. Cook the apples, onions, garlic and sugar, salt and vinegar until soft, then pass them through a fine sieve. Add the raisins and ginger with the other ingredients, mix well and stand in a jar in a warm (not hot) place until the following day. The next day, seal and we are told that it will keep a year or two. COFFEE CARNIVAL If you like an unusual dessert try this: Take four tablespoonfuls of quick cooking tapioca, one fourth teaspoonful of salt, one-third of a cupful of seedless raisins, two cupfuls of coffee infusion, one-half cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of vanilla, and one cupful of cream whipped. Add salt, tapioca and raisins to the coffee and cook in a double boiler until the tapioca is clear, stirring often. Add sugar, chill and add the vanilla. Serve with the whipped cream folded in; serve in sherbet glasses. Raisins steamed until soft or cooked in orange juice until soft, and chopped pecans and use as sandwiches filling for very thinly sliced and buttered bread. Lace is coming in strong for formal evening wear. OYSTER COCKTAIL 1½ pints raw oysters ½ cup tomato catup 3 tablespoons vinegar or the juice of 1 lemon ¼ cup finely chopped celery 2 tablespoons grated horse-radish Drain the oysters, remove all pieces of shell, chill, and place in cocktail glasses. Mix all this sauce to the oysters just before serving. BROILED HAMBURG STEAK ON ONION RINGS 2 cups ground lean raw beef ¼ cup ground suet 1 cup soft fine bread crumbs 7 strips bacon 7 slices Spanish onion ½ inch thick 1 tablespoon chopped parsley 3 tablespoons butter Lay the slices of onion in a buttered shallow baking dish. Pour over them 2 tablespoons of melted butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, add the water, cover closely, and bake in a moderate (350° F.) for 30 minutes, or until tender. In the meantime, cook the chopped parsley in 1 tablespoon butter and combine with the beef, suet, crumbs, and seasonings. Knead until thoroughly mixed. Mold into seven flat cakes and wrap each with a slice of bacon. Place each cake on an onion slice in the baking dish, and broil under direct heat for five minutes on each side. Baste occasionally with the drippings. Serve at once from the baking dish. If it is not convenient to broil the meat cakes by direct heat, parboil them in a hot skillet, and serve on the onion slices. 3 pounds lean beef about 21/2 inches thick 3 tablespoons melted suet ½ cup flour 1½ teaspoons salt ¼ teaspoon pepper 2½ cups hot tomato juice and pulp or hot water Sift the flour, salt, and pepper together and beat thoroughly into the steak with a meat pounder. The beating makes the meat more tender, and the flour absorbs the juice. Cut the steak into individual portions, if desired. Sear the meat in the hot fat in a heavy skillet or kettle. Cover with the tomato juice and pulp or the water, adding more if necessary. Place a lid on the cooking utensil and simmer for two hours, or until the meat is so tender it can be cut with a fork. Turn the pieces occasionally during the cooking. If the gravity becomes too thick add more liquid from time to time. There should be plenty of rich gravy to serve over the meat. Onions may be browned and cooked with the meat if desired. Serve piping hot. Brown stew is made in the same general way as Swiss steak or pot roast. For a stew cut the meat into inch cubes and roll in flour. Brown well in hot fat, add water or tomatoes, cover, and simmer until tender. Onions, carrots, turnips, and potatoes may be added if desired. ONION SOUP AU GRATIN 6 medium-sized onions, chopped fine 2 tablespoons butter 1 pint boiling water 1 quart meat broth 4 tablespoons flour 4 tablespoons cold water Salt to taste Pepper Toast Cheese, finely grated Cook the chopped onions in the fat until yellow, add to the hot water, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until tender. Add the meat broth. Blend the flour and cold water, add some of the hot liquid, mix well, and stir into the soup. Add the salt and pepper, and cook for a few minutes. Pour the soup into bowls or soup plates, place on top of each a slice of toasted bread. sprinkle the cheese over the bread and soup, and serve at once. 2 cups canned crushed corn 1 cup water 1 quart milk 1 onion, cut in half 1 tablespoon flour 4 tablespoons butter Salt to taste Pepper Combine the corn and the water, cook for 10 minutes, and stir constantly to keep from sticking to the pan. Press the corn through a strainer. Heat the milk and the onion in the double boiler and thicken with the flour and fat, which have been well blended. Add the corn pulp, salt, and pepper. Heat, remove the onion, and serve. Buttered pop corn makes an interesting substitute for chouons to serve with corn soup. SWISS STEAK CORN SOUP SCRAMBLED EGGS AND BACON Beat the eggs slightly with 1 tablespoon of cream or top milk for each egg, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a pan containing 1 tablespoon of melted butter or other fat. Cook over hot water, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove and serve at once with crisp bacon. CORNED BEEF HASH 1 pound cooked corned beef 5 boiled potatoes Onion to flavor Dash of cayenne pepper Salt. Put meat, potatoes, and onion through the meat grinder, using the fine knife. Add the cayenne and salt to taste and mix thoroughly. Grease lightly a heavy skillet. Pat in the hash in an even layer and cooked over low heat until a golden brown crust is formed. When brown, place a pan or lid over the skillet and turn the hash out so the browned side is on top. Slip the uncooked side in the skillet and allow this side to become golden brown. Turn out on a plate garnish with parsley, and serve at once.

Christmas week is the time we like best for making the candies that will keep well for the holiday time. So many of the old-fashioned candies are almost forgotten; it is well at this season to take time to prepare a few and let the youngsters help. One may prepare a bowl of fondant and keep it for weeks in the ice box and from time to time make a few delightful bonbons or patties for any occasion. A candy thermometer is helpful in candy-making. In making any kind of candy it is best to take a clear sunny day, for sugar has a way of misbehaving in gloomy weather. For the old standby French candies, anyone may have success if care is taken in the cooking and cooling. Take two and one-half pounds of sugar, one and one-half cupfuls of hot water and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar. If the latter is not at hand use two tablespoonfuls—or three is better—of light corn syrup; this insures the smoothness of the product when done. Stir until the sugar is well dissolved and place over the fire. Boil without stirring until when a drop is placed in cold water it makes a soft, waxy ball that will be soft but keep its shape. This degree is 238 Fahrenheit. After boiling for a few minutes sugar will adhere to the sides of the kettle: this should be washed down with a small swab dipped into cold water, or after becoming expert, one may dip the hands into cold water and quickly wash off the grains. When the soft-ball stage is reached pour the boiling mixture out on a lightly buttered platter or a marble slab. Begin to roll it up at the edges as soon as it is cool, work with a wooden spoon until it is formed into a loaf, then knead with the hands until it is white and smooth. Put into a bowl, cover with waxed paper and set away in a cold place for at least 24 hours. CREAM MINTS Melt the plain white fondant over water, flavor with a few drops of oil of peppermint, or any flavor as wintergreen, clove, cinnamon or orange, and color any tint desired. Drop from the tip of a teaspoon on oiled paper. Small sized gem pans may be used to mold the mints if one wishes to take the trouble. PATTERNS sm smart! They're practical!

She alleges that in a fit of temper on April 10, 1929, he threw several pieces of household furniture at her. This cruel treatment and other inhuman acts have wrecked her nervous system and have caused severe physical suffering. The petition avers that in March, 1927, Carter for no just cause struck her in the face with his fist, wounding and bruising her left eye. She says her eye was black and blue for a week. Since April 10, 1929, she has been forced to live away from her home. He is, she alleges, also cruel to their child, and on December 26, 1928, the 10-year-old girl had to flee from her father and is now living with her mother. District Fireman The bill states that Carter is employed as a fireman at Engine Company No. 4, at a salary of $2100 per year. The wife says that she is obliged to work to support herself and child, as her husband has refused to contribute to their welfare. Mrs. Carter asks the court for the custody of the child and for alimony. When called for at No. 4 Engine Company Wednesday, Carter refused to state what steps he would take to defend himself in the suit, but his attorney, Bernard Chernoff, later stated that his answer would be a denial of the allegations in the wife's bill. Attorney Chernoff said Carter knew Miss West only casually and was not intimate with the woman. Mrs. Carter is represented by At torney S. R. Swaney. 50 YEARS GIVEN MAN WHO CLAIMED COPS FRAMED HIM BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Despite the fact that witnesses said he was nowhere near the scene at the time an attempt was made to wreck a Seaboard Air Line train, last July 23, Willie Cook was found guilty by a jury here Wednesday and sentenced to 50 years imprisonment.

A few days ago there was an epidemic of these robberies, and in one night three were taken, valued at $35, $25 and $25, respectively, in dollars and cents, but priceless in sentimental value. Police were summoned by the home owners, who demanded protection from the vandals, and the police rose to the occasion. They found a new association of young racketeers composed of Negro boys who were specializing in the crime of removing brass door-knockers from front doors. The knockers were recovered.

The old man with the long white kind spirited white citizen made it GEORGE M. AMBLER HEADS MASONIC CRAFT HERE Frank W.McKinney Served Two Terms, Refused Third Term The Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge held its 84th annual communication on Wednesday, December 27, at which time all the business of the Masonic year was consummated. The annual election of officers resulted in the elevation of George M. Ambler, of Eureka Lodge No. 5, to the position of most worshipful grand master, an office which has been held for the past two years by Frank D. McKinney, who declined to accept a third term, because of an unwritten law of the grand lodge discouraging such procedure. The election of Grand Master Ambler was an unanimous action, as was the selection of Louis W. Roy as deputy grand master; James M. Marshall as senior grand warden; Richard W. Stevens as junior grand warden; and the reelection of John S. George as grand treasurer; and Charles D. Freeman as grand secretary. These officers were installed on St. John's Day, at the continued session, by the retiring grand master, and this session was featured by the attendance of four out of the six living past grand masters of the jurisdiction, viz: John Edgard Smith, Dr. William H. Jackson, Jesse H. Mitchell, and Al E. Dotson. The newly installed grand master has announced a monster mass meeting of the entire craft for New Year's Day, Sunday, January 1, in the main auditorium of the Masonic Temple, at which time the program for the incoming year will be inaugurated. The meeting will be opened at 4 p.m., promptly, and all the grand lodge officers, grand chapter officers of the Order of the Eastern Star, worshipful masters, royal matrons and their cabinets, together with the past grand officers will be seated on the rostrum to help launch the campaign.

REVISED MERGER BILL ASSURES REDUCED RATES REVISED MERGER BILL ASSURES REDUCED RATES Continuation of the three-cent car fare for school children as ordered by the Public Utilities Commission in 1930 following an Act of Congress which mandatorially directed it to fix a reduced rate was practically assured to Washington education seekers despite the legal opposition by the traction companies when the Senate passed the revamped District traction merger resolution last week. The measure, containing important street car company concessions to the public and embodying almost every principle fought for by Senator John J. Blaine was approved without a record vote. Its approval followed an agreement reached with dramatic suddenness at a conference between opposing Senate District committee factions, traction company heads and interested citizens. The House of Representatives laid the bill aside until after the holidays in order to give its District committee time to study the revised measure. It is expected that the House will agree to the bill as passed by the Senate. One of the most important provisions in the new resolution as approved by the Senate was a paragraph on the three-cent car fare rate which definitely insured a reduced charge for this class of passengers regardless of the outcome of the litigation now in the courts.

THEATERS SPORTS THE NEW YEAR I am the new year, and I come to you pure and unstained. you pure and unshake- Fresh from the hand of God. Each day a precious pearl, to you is given That you must string upon the silver thread of life. Once strung can never be unthreaded, but stays An undying record of your faith and skill. Each golden minute link you then must weld into the chain of hours That is no stronger than its weakest link. Into your hand is given all the wealth and power To make your life just what you will. I give to you free and unstinted, twelve glorious months Of soothing rain and rest, the nights for peaceful slumber. All that I have I give with love unspoken. All that I ask—you keep the faith subrokan (With Apologies to Pepy) Up this morning with dark taste from too much Yule celebration. Resolved to be more careful in matters of drinking. To my morning bath in which I did sing—thence to the cup-board on the sly of my mater where I did concoct a soothing mixture. Did thrice return—then at the sound of bells and my mater's voice, did don my topper and thence to church. Back to my rooms and breakfast of omelet with ham. Later to mine friend Booth's where a good foursome did enjoy bridge, fortified between whiles with highballs of strength and flavor skillfully poured by our host. To home until time to sup when my guests did arrive. More bridge. Everything glossy until I did trump my pardoner's ace—much disturbed by murderous glances. Upon the departure of my guests and on saying a goodnight to my mater, I returned to the fireside, where I did sit alone with my thoughts, memories chasing back over the span of my years. Again to the cupboard concoting the fancies of my brain, each one tasting better than its predecessor. The embers were dying down and the wind did whistle without—so to the stairs and calling for no help whatever, mounted them. To the covers with a sublime glow—and so to sleep. LEST WE FORGET Loyalty, if maintained, is a beautiful thing, but how easy it is to let one's loyalty slip into the nullity of indifference. In the hum of excitement we are apt to forget those less fortunate than ourselves. So in our hurrahs of celebration, let's say a silent prayer for the rapid recovery of Carey (Midge) Freeman, the northeast lad who has been indoors since September. Good old Tommy Blandford, known as a regular guy around the campus, is still abed; and Francis Syphax, local lad who has been ill for some time and has recently returned home from Denver, Colo. This column is at your service to help you scatter sunshine (as well as—). SNAPSHOTS Along U Street did see The Jack Harlin and another collegiate looking very huntish in huge bear-skin coats (or am I being deceived?). Marion (Morgan C.) Whittington home for the merrie days looking petite and Taylor-ish (tese-che). Charlie Miles, dashing gayly to movies before 6 o'clock prices (he would!). Henriette Grant nonchalanting along the boulevard (How do you do?). George (Shaw U.) Bullock hustling mail bags (what a lucky break!). Kermit Trigg being torsional in a Seventh Street botique in the same shop that barber Henry Hill has hi specular humor—yet cleverly amusing. Eunice Dickson, Estelle Dyson, and Gladys Hignor taxi-ing home from church. A carload of Kappas on the way to the conclave at Charleston, W.Va.—Happy day.
