Robinson and Miss Young were booked at No. 11 Precinct on a serious charge. The young woman refused to appear at a police court trial and forfeited $25 collateral. Robinson demanded a jury trial, which was set for January 14. Miss Young, who gave her address as 2117 Hunter Place Southeast, is well known in local society and prominent in club circles. Robinson is said to be an employee at the Navy Yard. Had Razor The man was also charged with carrying a dangerous and concealed weapon when police found a razor on him when he appeared at the precinct to post bond. The surprise visit by Mrs. Robinson was staged with every detail complete. She had suspected her husband of infidelity for some time and on December 11, she summoned Officer M. M. Welsch, of No. 11 Precinct; her brother, T. O. Madon, and T. T. Thomas, a friend. So sudden was their appearance in the house that Robinson jumped through a window in an attempt to make his escape. He is out under $800 bond after being charged with carrying a weapon and a statutory charge. Mrs. Robinson refused to say whether she would take further action against her husband or Miss Young. Business Man I in Garage Day Petersburg Merchant Thou Revenge. Was For and Chain S By GARLAND MACKEY PETERSBURG, Va.—This staid old Virginia city on the Appomatox River was thrown into turmoil over the holidays when it awoke after Christmas to find one of its most prominent citizens burned to death in his own garage, a victim of what some say was a bootlegger's re- Waverley White, business man, owner of a chain of grocery stores, and former director of the People's Bank of Petersburg, was found cremated in his garage Tuesday night. The garage is located directly across the street from his home, on Wilcox Street. Identified by Papers His body was burned beyond recognition and was identified by papers found in his vest pocket. He was lying on his face which accounted for the front pockets of his vest not being burned. Other parts of his body was burned practically to the bone. Flesh had fallen from his legs, back and face. His wife said he left the house about 11 p.m., Tuesday night to lock the door of the garage. She said he had been gone hardly 15 minutes before she looked out and saw the building in flames. Firemen arrived too late to save the place.

Robb affirmed the action of the District Supreme Court, which had refused a mandamus against the board of education, asked by Mrs. Ethel Just, who sought appointment as a teacher in the junior high schools. Justice Robb declared that the claim for appointment was without merit as she had withdrawn from the examination for junior grade, and was never on the eligible list of that grade. In a statement to the Tribune Mrs. Just said she had not conferred with her attorney, James S. Easby Smith, and had not decided on what further action she would take. JOE BINGHAM SHOT IN LEG Joseph (Joe) Bingham, 1432 Corcoran Street, Northwest, popular U Street dance hall promoter, was shot in the leg while a guest with friends at 233 Third Street, Southwest, Wednesday afternoon. The shot was accidental, according to police. Bingham who is at Freedmen's Hospital, said that he and a group of friends were at the house when Harry Goss, 400 block Kingman Place, accidentally pulled the trigger of a revolver he was examining. Bingham, who was standing across the room, was struck in the leg by the bullet. Goss was arrested, but later released when it was proved that the shooting was unintentional. Bingham's condition is not serious, hospital physicians say. Found Cremated After Christmas ight Victim of Bootlegger's omer Bank Director store Owner rage said they heard a scream before the building caught fire. Others said they heard an explosion which shook windows for a block. An investigation by firemen failed to disclose any cause for an explosion. One close friend of the merchant said he had an argument with a well-known Petersburg bootleger a week or two ago, and at that time Mr. White almost came to blows with the man. Mr. White threatened to have the man arrested for secreting liquor in the garage. The man is alleged to have vowed to get revenge. Suicide Theory Another theory advanced by those close to the store owner was that he was in financial difficulties and committed suicide by setting fire to a container of gasoline which burned the place down. The theory of fool play was discarded when an autopsy failed to reveal any marks of violence on the body. It was well known that the former wealthy man was in financial difficulties and had sought to borrow funds prior to the Christmas holidays. It was also said that he had lost several of his jobs in recent months. Mr. White is survived by his widow and mother. Funeral was held at the St. Stephen P.E. Church, of which the Rev. Emmett E. Miller, warden of Bishop Payne Divinity School, is rector. 200 Baltimore Teachers to Lose Jobs This Year BALTIMORE. — "Social to the Tribune) — Two hundred school teachers and employees will lose their jobs here by June this year, as city authorities ask to slash 42,000 from the school budget. About twenty per cent of the number of teachers to feel the ax are in the colored schools. High school officials are of the opinion that the teachers to remain will suffer a further cut in salary before spring amounting nearly twenty per cent. 4 ORGANIZATIONS DISAGREE ON 1932 LYNCHING NUMBER 4 ORGANIZATIONS DISAGREE ON 1932 LYNCHING NUMBER Tuskegee Lists 8 While League of Struggle Reports 37 Just how many persons were lynched in the United States in 1932 remains a conjecture as four organizations have sent out three different set of figures. The Associated Negro Press and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People agree that 11 were lynched. The League of Struggle for Negro Rights recorded 37, while Tuskegee Institute, regarded as official, has compiled a list of eight deaths from mob violence. The wide margin between the 37 reported by the league and the 8 recorded by Tuskegee is the result of the difference in the definition of a lynching. The league considers as lynchings all cases in which persons were killed by shooting, hanging, burning or drowning at the hands of organized groups. The A.N.P. defines a lynching as any death inflicted by two or more privately organized citizens who impose such violence with correctional intent. Thus, the league includes the deaths of three persons who were shot down by a mob seeking a fugitive at Senatobia, Miss., as a lynching. The A.N.P. and the N.A.A.C.P. do not, as no punishment was meant to be meted out. Agree on Eight The A.N.P. and the N.A.A.C.P. agree upon the names of eight lynched persons, but the list of each includes three names which do not appear on the list of the other. The eight lynchings agreed upon are those of: David Tillis, held for an alleged insult of a white woman, who was seized and hanged to a tree April 1, 18 miles from Crockett, Texas. Richard Reed, white, who was taken from jail by a mob and hanged to a tree, April 13, at St. Francis, Kansas. He had been gr Frankie, Mae.

Mrs. Billie Campbell, 61, was found lying in her home at 67 O Street, Northwest, by her sister, Sallie Jackson. The latter had noticed her sister suffering from shortness of breath throughout the morning, but thought nothing serious to be in the making. The Emergency ambulance was summoned and hospital staff physicians pronounced her dead on arrival. Mrs. Campbell was starting to work when she collapsed. Another woman, Tillie Savoy, 41, died suddenly at her home, 235 P Street, Northwest, without medical attention. The woman was stricken and before members of the Rescue Squad could reach her to give aid she succumbed. Death was due to natural causes. Her Marriage Announcement a Surprise Armstrong, Hirsch. School music teacher whose announcement of her marriage to James Constantine Webster, also an Armstrong teacher, came as a surprise to her friends this week. Mrs. Webster is well known as a singer. The couple are living at 1215 Kenyon Street, N.W. TRIBUNE COOKING SCHOOL BEGINS JANUARY 17 Second Annual School Free to Homemakers of Washington The second annual cooking school and home economic demonstration classes sponsored by The Washington Tribune will open in the Murray Casino, 918 U Street, Northwest, Tuesday, January 17, at 6:30 p.m., having been postponed from January 10, the date previously announced. There will be classes and demonstrations, each Tuesday and Thursday night, for three weeks, ending on Thursday night, February 2. Miss Ruth Sheldon, directress of the home service department of the Washington Gas Light Company, will supervise these demonstrations. She will be assisted by Miss Zimmer, of the Wilkins-Rogers Milling Company of this city, and Miss Carter, of the McCormick Co., Baltimore, Md. All of these teachers have had wide and varied experience in their specialty and will bring to The Tribune classes instructions both interesting and helpful for every home maker interested in improving her efficiency in her home. The grand prize to be given away on the final night, February 2, will be a modern gas range donated by the Washington Gas Light Company. In addition to this grand prize there will be 20 baskets of food given away absolutely free each of the six class nights. There will also be free food samples and free prizes each night. The admission to the classes and demonstrations will be free, each person receiving a ticket with a number on it, with a duplicate number going into a box from which the drawing will be made for the baskets of food each night. The drawing for the gas range will take place on Thursday night, February 2. Much interest is being manifested in this cooking school, and any number of calls and inquiries have been made since the announcement in The Tribune of last week. It looks as though the large Casino will be taxed to capacity to care (Continued on page 2) 5 CHILDREN DIE AFTER MEAL OF HOME-MADE SOUP Physician Believes Deaths Caused by Ptomaine Poisoning ALCOA, Tenn.—Five children of Mr. and Mrs. William Parker, ranging in age from 2 to 16, are dead of ptomaine poisoning, believed by physicians to have been caused from eating home-made canned tomato soup. Deaths of the children occurred thirty hours after eating the soup. The dead are: Edgar, 2; Mary Louise, 5; Elizabeth, 7; Frances, 11; and Robert, 16. Mr. and Mrs. Parker and their 9-year-old son, Clarence, were the only members of the family surviving. Neither of the three had eaten any of the soup. Little Edgar Parker was the first of the children to become ill and died at noon on Monday, only a short time after eating the soup that had been taken from cans prepared early in the summer months. In less than two hours the four other children were violently ill and Robert died at 3 p.m. Another child died late Monday night, and early Tuesday morning two other children succumbed. The definite cause of the deaths has not been established, but the attending physician advanced the idea that the poisoning resulted from eating the soup that had possibly soured after canning. Will Parker, the father, is employed at the Alcoa Brick and Tile Works. First 1933 Suicide Attempt Reported The first 1933 attempt at suicide was reported here Sunday when Susie Watson, 32, 462 P Street, Northwest, swallowed the contents of a bottle of iodoform. Found lying on the floor of the middle room on the second floor of her home by Gus Jones, of the same address, the woman was removed to Freedmen's Hospital after being given first aid treatment by the Fire Rescue Squad. Her condition was reported as Her condition was reported as undetermined at the hospital. Office: 920 U St., N. W, Round Trip for Corpse Saves Long Trip COLUMBUS, GA.—(CNS)—Economic conside: tions caused Elijah Thurman, an aged Negro, to apply to a local freight office here for a round trip rate to Chicago—for a corpse. He explained, it was said, that relatives in Chicago wanted a last look at the deceased before burial here. Thriffy heads of the far-separated family figured it far cheaper to transport the corpse in that manner, than to send the distant relatives here for the final rites. He was accommodated. J. FINLEY WILSON TAKING LEAD FOR POLICYHOLDERS Appoints Large Committee and Seeks to Obtain Power of Attorney "Owing to the National Benefit Life Insurance Company's being in the hands of the receivers, there will not be an annual meeting of the stockholders in February," said John T. Risher, who was president of the company when the first receiver was appointed September 9, 1981. "We did not call the meeting last February because of the receivership and the same conditions obtain this year," said Mr. Risher. Mr. Risher is the last president of record, and since there has not been an election he remains president until his successor is elected. However, the report of the actuaries showing a deficit of more than $4,000,000 of National Benefit's assets, which wipes out the $250,000 capital of the stockholders, there may not ever be a meeting of the stockholders called. Some of the polleyholders are making an effort to mutualize themselves and have issued the following statement which comes (Continued on page 2) DR. TURNER MAY BE SUSTAINED AT MEET SUNDAY DR. TURNER MAY BE SUSTAINED AT MEET SUNDAY Local Catholics Say the Chicago Meeting Was Unconstitutional Speaking of Dr. Thomas Turner being ousted as president of the Federated Colored Catholics by a group which in Chicago, led by Father Markoe, white, Eugene A. Clarke, president of Miner Teachers' College here, said that the whole affair was "an unfortunate thing." Leading Negro Catholics here state that Father Marko kell fell out with Dr. Turner because the latter would not bow and kowfow to him. He is said to have instigated calling of the meeting of the executive board in Chicago, which they state was unconstitutional and that two of the eight who attended had no right to vote. Even so not a legal majority were present. One of the men from New York City is said to be a double-crosser. The executive committee, composed of 26 members, is called to meet here Sunday to act on the matter, and this committee, local Catholics claim, will sustain Dr. Turner. The delegates from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Norfolk are solid for him, so local Catholics claim, and the result of the committee meeting Sunday is expected to disavow and repudiate the Chicago action. It is reported that many letters have been received endorsing Dr. Turner, and that two of the women who met in Chicago have expressed their regrets for then attending the meeting. Father Markee edits a Catholic magazine printed in Louis, Mo, which he claims is the official publication of the Fee. Eyewitness Tells of Shooting of 2 Army Officers and Wives A dumb policeman who thought he saw an opportunity to arrest "another Negro" resulted in a dangerously ill woman being detained nearly an hour while her husband had to post $10 collateral for speeding. William Scott, an employee of the National Broadcasting Company, of Washington, was rushing his wife from Leesburg, Va., to a hospital and while passing through East Falls Church was stopped by Policeman Alvin Shumate. In spite of the fact that Scott explained that his wife was critically ill, Shumate arrested Scott and hailed him before Mayor, L. P. Daniel, of Falls Church. After considerable delay, according to Scott, his wife was taken to Columbia Hospital, where it was found she had suffered a paralytic stroke. EULOGIZED BY RELIEF GROUP The annual election of officers and memorial services for the deceased members of the organization featured the regular monthly meeting of the Young Ladies' Immediate Relief Association held week at the Scottish Rite Hall. All the officers were re-elected unanimous. All the members of the organization who died during the past year were eulogized with fitting ceremonies. Officers re-elected were Mrs. Minnie A. Conaway, president; Mrs. Ida Jones, vice-president; Mrs. Addie C. Green, recording secretary; Mrs. Mamie A. Jackson, financial secretary; Mrs. Mary Craig, assistant secretary; Mrs. Mary O. Springgs, treasurer; Mrs. Lua Kent, chaplain; Mrs. Jennie Blunt, sentinel and Mrs. Sarah Adams, chairman of relief. Members of the Board of Directors elected were Mrs. Harriet C. Gray, Mrs. P. H. Donohan, Mrs. osephine Butler, Mrs. Anna James, Mrs. Irene Lomax, Mrs. Martha Robinson, Mrs. Jennie Thompson, Mrs. Edin and Mrs. Emily Lee, Mrs. E. Williams was named chairman of the banking committee. Wilson Appoints Grand Secretary of Daughter Elks J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, announced that he had appointed Mrs. Buena Kelly Gibbs, daughter of Mrs. Emma Kelly, to fill her place as grand secretary of the Daughter Elks. Mrs. Emma Kelley died recently in Norfolk. Howard Receive From Estate of Bequest Given University Was One of Largest One of Schoo Howard Receives $5000 Legacy From Estate of Late Dean Cook Acknowledgement of the receipt of a legacy of $5,000 from the estate of the late Dean Emeritus George William Cook was forwarded yesterday to Mrs. Coralia Franklin Cook, widow, and the Washington Loan and Trust Company, coexecutors, by order of the executive committee of the Howard University board of trustees. The legacy was without restrictions, merely naming Howard University as legatee and stipulating the amount. It is one of the largest single benefactions which the university has received from one of its graduates. Served Over 58 Years After serving Howard University 2550 4514 CAPITAL EDITION Given University Without Restrictions and Was One of Largest Received from One of School's Graduates Sergeant Irving Claims Abernathy, Who Slew Four, was Demented HAD FANCIED GRUDGE AGAINST MEN, THEORY Corporal Hardley Saved a Third Officer by Killing Soldier EDITOR'S NOTE.—In response to a telegram sent by Sergeant E. Irving, of the Medical Department, the following true account of the killing of two white officers and their wives and the wounding of another officer was sent to the Tribune by Sergeant Irving, who was an eyewitness to the tragedy. The soldier, Private James H. Abernathy, who killed the four people, was thought to have become temporarily insane and his brain is being examined. The man had a real or fancied grudge against the officers and was brooding over an automobile accident in which he killed a man. He was sentenced to 11 years, but the sentence was suspended. The story by Sergeant Irving follows: BY SERGEANT E. IRVING Medical Department, U.S.A. FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz.—Private James H. Abernathy, Quartermaster Corps, stationed here, killed four persons with a pistol, and was killed himself by a rifle shot, by a member of the provost guard. The dead are; Captain J. R. Wessley, Q.M.C., assistant to the post quartermaster; Mrs. J. R. Wessley, his wife; Captain David A. Palmer, 25th Infantry, commanding officer, Company M, 25th Infantry, stationed here; and Mrs. David A. Palmer, his wife. The wounded were: 1st Lieutenant H. R. Matthews, 25th Infantry, acting commanding officer, Co.K, 25th Infantry, stationed here. Capt. Wessley went to the post service station, where Abernathy worked, probably to get gasoline (or oil) for his car. Abernathy shot him, killing him, it is believed, instantly. He then got in Capt. Wessley's car, drove to the captain's house, which is at least one-half a mile away, rushed in the front door, unannounced, looked all over the first floor, and not finding anyone, rushed upstairs and found Mrs. Wessley just finishing her bath. He shot her dead. He then went out and got in Capt. Wessley's car again, drove down to Capt. Palmer's house, which is at least one-half block down the street, stopped the car, rushed into Capt. Palmer's house, encountered the captain, who was fully dressed and preparing to go out. He shot him, killing him. Mrs. Palmer, who was in the kitchen, heard the shots and rushed in (Continued on page 2) s $5000 Legacy Late Dean Cook Without Restrictions and best Received from Ol's Graduates in various official capacities over a period of fifty-eight years, and under eleven administrations, Dean Cook died in Philadelphia.

This would do more to benefit the Negro than all the communist propaganda in Russia." Thus the Atlanta World, influential local Negro daily, comments on the recent tragic clash near Dadeville, Alabama, in which four officers were shot and three Negroes killed, as a result apparently of communist propaganda. The World makes it clear that it does not advocate tame submission to injustice. On the other hand, it states its belief that "the Negro is entirely too passive." At the same time it holds that "belligerency of the type displayed near Dadeville is worse than baring the back to the blows of prejudice." "Militant resistance is absurd," says the World, "particularly in Dixie. The Negro is without funds or armament for fighting. He may be shot in the name of the law, for he has neither law nor its enforcement agencies on his side. The gun and the sword is the last way to obtain justice for the Negro." The World also points out the fact that in these recurring tragedies, due supposedly to communist influence, "none of the white Red leaders is ever slain; the Negro bears the brunt of the violence." Interviews with representative Negro leaders here and in Alabama reveal the fact that they are in complete agreement with the views expressed by the World. Being a minority group in numbers, resources, and power, the Negro has nothing to gain by violence, they hold, but on the contrary everything to lose, including his life. What is even more tragic, they point out, is the fact that violence inevitably brings suffering and peril to multitudes in no way responsible. They believe communist organizers are seeking to use the Negro merely as a fargot to light the fires of political revolution, and that Negroes should be too wise to let themselves be sacrificed. DAUGHTERS OF ISIS HOLD NEW YEAR RECEPTION Oasis Court, Daughters of Isis, Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shine, held its annual New Year's reception Monday night, at the residence of the com- mandress, Daughter Emma Martin, 1324 U Street, Northwest. The home was beautifully decorated in the court colors, yellow and white. In the center of the table was a large cake donated by the advisor, Noble George Jones, and decorated by Mrs. Rosa Myers. From seven o'clock until nine- thirty the commandress and ad- visor with the officers of the court called on the various branches of Masonry, and Noble Chas. D. Freeman, the attendants being twenty in number. At 10 o'clock, the receiving line was formed and more than three hundred persons passed. Daughter Pearl C.

Chapel Seating Eight Open to all Persons SPARTA, Wis.—(CNS)—Paul L, Wegner's personally built monument to his religious ideal of "One God, one brotherhood" is a tiny stucco chapel, seating only eight persons, but open to all creeds. The quaint structure, adorned by two full-length stained glass windows and a number of external designs in bits of colored glass picked from rubbish heaps, is open to persons of all creeds. On some days last summer as many as 1,200 visitors stopped before the tiny altar, where candles are kept burning. MARYLAND VOTERS WELFARE CONFAB ADOPTS PLATFORM MARYLAND VOTERS WELFARE CONFAB ADOPTS PLATFORM Organization Holds State Wide Session in Baltimore The Independent Voters' Political Welfare Organization of Maryland, with temporary headquarters in the 2000 block of Eleventh Street, Northwest, held its statewide meeting at the Elks' Hall in Baltimore, last week. W. M. Goodwin, vice-president and state organizer, delivered the opening address. Referring to John L. Jenifer, president of the organization, as the Moses of our race, Mr. Goodwin recalled the vision and inspiration which brought about the formation of such an organization. He also reviewed the history of the organization and the work of the executive committee. Rothschild Francis, noted historian and educator of Brooklyn, N.Y., delivered an address on "The Negro and Political Parties of the United States." Others who spoke were Mrs. Anna Sullivan, associated chairman of Washington County; B. L. Lee, Mrs. N. W. Jones, and Mrs. Olivia Barley, of Somerset County; and Mrs. Alice Freeland, associated chairman of Calvert County. A financial report was made by the executive committee. The platform of the organization as prepared by the executive committee was read by the secretary. It was accepted and adopted by unanimous approval. The platform follows: 1. To effect improvement in school facilities for colored children, and the equalization of teachers' salaries throughout the state 2. To afford an equal chance to the colored citizenry of Maryland to acquire the kind of education that will enable them to use wisely their vote. 3. To secure absolute and unqualified equality before the law—a fair trial for every citizen charged before the law, and the right to sit upon grand and petit juries. 4. To secure effective law enforcement and the wiping out of mob violence and rioting. 5. To seek social justice—equal civil rights, abolition of "jim crow" laws and regulations. 6. To consider carefully the qualifications for public office of all candidates, and to urge all colored citizens of Maryland to weigh all aspirants for public office with especial regard for their attitude on the matter of full citizenship for the colored people of the State of Maryland. White Woman Fakes Story of Being Robbed but Later Admits Truth NEW YORK.—One of the many cases of crimes falsely attributed to Negroes every year is the case of a white woman in New Orleans who, after spending the Christmas fund she and her husband had been saving, fabricated a story about a Negro burglar. The story forwarded to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is authenticated in the New Orleans States, one of the leading daily papers of the city. According to the story, Mrs. Jessie Saunders, wife of a packer earning $12 a week, bought clothes for her sisters out of a $15 fund she and her husband had saved. When the money was spent she alarmed her neighbors with a tale of how a Negro had gabbed her in her home, struck her over the head with a blunt instrument, tore her clothing and robbed her of money and jewels. She had taken the precaution to hide her jewelry under the house. Detectives, after extended questioning, made the woman admit that the burglar story was false. J. Finley Wilson Takes (Continued from page 1) from the office of Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson: To set on behalf of more than 200,000 policyholders of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company in conservation of more than $1,000,000 of remaining assets of that institution, J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler or Elks, has named a committee with a view to definite procedure before the courts when duly authorized by policyholders at interest. A resolution adopted by the grand lodge of Elks in Atlantic City last summer requested appointment of such committee to work for rehabilitation of worthwhile financial institutions distressed because of world-wide economic depression. Proclamation Issued With the aim to restore this company to the Negro, the grand exalted ruler has issued a proclamation setting forth his purpose, to use the facilities of the Elk organization in the task of securing authorization from individual policyholders to act for them. A recent report of court accountants reported an impairment of $4,000,000 for the National Benefit. The report also stated that the interest of stockholders was entirely wiped out, the December, 1930 surplus being $137,000 and the corporation stock $250,000, the sum of which was not adequate in any way to take care of impairment. Officers of the company. Likewise, have been eliminated from active operation of the business since September 9, 1931, by court order in naming receivers. With these officers in such position, and the stockholders wiped out, the grand exalted ruler has been advised by the best legal talent obtainable that the remaining assets of the company belong to the policy-holders, and they should control what is their property. Finances Studied This matter has been studied thoroughly during the past six months, and the committee which has been named will have available for its purposes all necessary data for intelligent action. They have been guided in their study, and will be guided in their deliberations, by the opinion of Justice Daniel O'Donoghue, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, rendered last April, when he said: "In this case it is opinion of the court that this company is insolvent. It is not the duty of the receiver to rehabilitate the company, nor to reorganize the company, nor to mutualize it. The receiver is to continue operation of the company in status quo as far as possible pending the outcome of litigation. Therefore, it is up to the parties in interest, whether stockholders or officials of the company or the policyholders, to take such steps as any or all of them may be able to take to rehabilitate this company, to reorganize this company or to form a new company. "If the parties are able during the period of time that the actuarial accountant is working on the affairs of the company to formulate some practical plan whereby this company may be saved, they will then be able to submit any such proposition to the court immediately after the detained and completed report of the actuarial accountant is filed. "If they cannot get together and cannot formulate some plan within that period of several months, or a settlement as indicated, then there will be no other course for the court to pursue but dissolution." Receivership Costs are Increasing Rapidly In addition to the domiciliary receivers at Washington, there are eleven receivers out in the various states, and receivership costs are mounting daily at a staggering rate. All of the receivers are white men, while the Negro policy-holders are, footing the bill and their assets rapidly dwindling. Receivers who were appointed at Washington alone, after minne- were allowed $10,000 "on ac- count" for receivers, and an addi- bition of $10,000 allowed their attorneys. They have worked eight additional months. Similar costs of receivership are in effect in the various states. Policyholders may authorize an individual, associated with a representative committee, because of accurate knowledge of the condition of the company at its domicile, to act for them in taking such steps as will give policyholders rather than receivers the benefit of their own property. Maid and Employer Burn When Oil Heater Explode Mrs. Lillian Hanbury, 1625 Foleteenth Street, Northwest, was a loosely burned lair. Thursday was an oil burner exploded in the hoof of her employer, Mrs. George Gret, 144 Longfellow Street, Northwest. Mrs. Hanbury who was a m Committee Named The committee named by the grand exalted ruler for this purpose consists of Robert Russell Moton, principal, Tuskegee Institute; Dr. L. K. Williams, president, National Baptist Convention; Edward W. Henry, Philadelphia magistrate; Dr. W. H. Harris, Athens, Ga.; Henry Hunt, Fort Valley, Ga. Grand Daughter Ruler Abbie M. Johnson; Grand Secretary James E. Kelley; Grand Daughter Secretary Buena Kelly Gibbs; John H. Murphy and Henry Allen Boyd, Baltimore and Nashville publishers; W. H. C. Brown, president of the Industrial Savings Bank; Roy S. Bond and Truly Hatchett, Baltimore realtors; Raymond Pace Alexander, former President of the National Negro Bar Association; Harris Gaines, member of the Insurance Committee of the Illinois legislature; Lieut. George W. Lee, manager of the Atlanta Life Insurance Company, Memphis, Tenn.; J. Dalmus Steele, New York; H. P. Carter, insurance manager, Houston, Texas; Alexander H. Martin, Cleveland, Ohio. The position of this committee is that dissolution of the company by court order, through proper administrative channels, would be tantamount to a colossal Negro failure in finance, and an ultimate total loss to policyholders. They are firmly of the belief that dissolution must be avoided. In his proclamation the grand exalted ruler said: Avoid Dissolution "It is, not the aim of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, Inc., or of the Grand Exalted Ruler, or other officer thereof, to profit financially by this effort except as they may be policyholders, on the same rooting with other policyholders. We should close a drama of financial mishap in a blaze of economic glory. "We request every deputy, exalted ruler, daughter ruler, chief antler, and grand lodge and grand temple officer, to secure powers of policyholder of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company and attorney from each and every forward the same to the office of the grand exalted ruler, 1813 Vernon street, northwest, Washington, D.C. Blank forms for such powers of attorney will be furnished at this address to all persons applying." 10,000 PAMPHLETS ARE SENT OUT ON EXPLOITATION NEW YORK—Reports from all parts of the country to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People reveal that public interest among all classes and races in the exploitation of Negroes in the Federal-financed Mississippi floor control project is reaching overwhelming proportions. Among the latest to pledge their support by telegram to Senator Robert F. Wagner for Senate Resolution 300, which provides for a thorough investigation of the charges of brutality and exploitation by a Senate investigating committee, is the National Religion and Labor Foundation with headquarters at Yale University.

Did Not Molest Children The two Palmer children, a boy aged 12, and a girl, aged 16, were in the house. The boy hid his sister in a clothes closet and rushed out the back door for help. Abernathy left Capt. Palmer's house by the back door and went next door to the house of Lieutenant Matthews. He found the officer on the back porch talking to his orderly, a colored soldier, named Private McCoullough. He (Abernathy) made McCoullough leave, telling the lieutenant that he was going to kill him, and waving his pistol. Shoots Fifth Victim McCoulough withdrew to the back yard, the lieutenant following, stalling for time and an opportunity to stop Abernathy. Finally not being able to shoot Matthews as he did his other victims, Abernathy grappled with him, keeping the pistol in his hands. When he got the officer down he began emptying his pistol at him at close range, but due to the movements of the officer, the shots missed. Just at that time, Corporal Peter Hardley, Co. L, 25th Infantry, who is a member of the post provost guard, rushed up to the fighting men and called out to Abernathy to drop his pistol. Abernathy said, "I will when I finish this job." Hardley Comes to Rescue Hardley Comes to Rescue Corporal Hardley opened fire on him with a service rifle, the first shot striking him in the shoulders. He emptied his service rifle at Abernathy (five shots), all taking effect. After being struck with the first shot by Corporal Hardley, Abernathy continued to fire at Lieutenant Matthews, two shots taking effect in the legs. Almost at the same time that Corporal Hardley began firing at Abernathy, a detachment from the post guard house arrived within sight of the fighting and they opened fire on him too, but examination showed that their shots did not hit him. Only the shots of Corporal Hardley took effect. Amuck Theory Discarded At the time the shooting was done, for the lack of anything else, the authorities gave the reason as "temporary insanity." However, later, investigation revealed that it could not have been a case of "running amuck." One soldier testified that just the day before the shooting occurred, he was sitting down talking with Abernathy when Captain Wessley drove past in his car. Abernathy said: "There's an old-bastard I'm going to fill full of lead, and there's some more of them, too." Cleaned His Pistol His wife, a Filipino woman, testified that on the morning of the killing, her husband cleaned his pistol carefully before he left home and carried it to work with him. She said she asked him why he was spending so much time cleaning it, and he told her that he might have to use it before night. She said she thought he was only joking. Another matter that killed the "run amuck" idea, is that Abernathy drove from the scene of the Take another look at your Telephone, Mr. Businessman! Do you know how much business it can bring you?

He passed undoubtedly several persons, that is, where they lived, in going from Captain Wessley's house to Captain Palmer's house. Furthermore, he made no attempt to both the Palmer children. Said Man Had Grudge Another fact is, that he refused to start shooting at Lieutenant Matthews as long as Private McCoulough was standing in the line of five. Finally, it was thought that he had some grudge against, or thought that he had been mistreated by, the persons he attacked, or by persons connected with them. Being on duty at the post service station, everybody in post, who owned a car, came in contact with him. He had been on duty at the station for more than a year, and all members of the post get gas and oil there. Indicted for Murder In 1929, Abernethy was a sergeant in Company C, 25th Infantry, stationed at Douglas, Arizona. He was a model soldier, with a clean record, and was one of the prize soldiers of his company. On New Year's eve of 1929, while rushing from a New Year's party, he hit a pedestrian with the car he was driving and killed him. He was drunk, or had been drinking, and was arrested and placed in jail. The civil authorities indicted him for murder, and the case became the talk of the country. In spite of the fact that his lawyer proved that the man deliberately crossed in front of him at such a time that it would have been impossible for him to stop the car, the jury found him guilty. He was sentenced to prison for 11 years. However, the trial judge, having been convinced by the merits of the case, suspended his sentence. After his trial, he having been automatically reduced to the grade of private, he transferred to the quartermaster corps and went to Ft. Huachuca for station. Some believed that the deal received in the trial, and the constant thought of it, caused him to become demented. Brain Being Examined An autopsy was performed on his body by the post surgeon, his brain and stomach contents examined in an effort to find something that would throw light on the subject, but nothing was found. His brain was sent to a pathological laboratory in Los Angeles. Findings have not been made public yet. Buried Friday He was buried in the cemetery at Huachuca, Friday, December 30. His funeral was strictly private. His home was in Houston, Texas. Corporal Peter Hardley, Co. L, 25th Infantry, who became a hero as a result of his part in the tragedy, was a veteran of the provost guard. He had been on that duty for some six or seven years. He is a big man, weighing some 185 or 190 pounds, and stands almost six feet tall. He is an excellent shot and has fourteen year's service.

NORTH CAROLINA LABORERS PAID 80 CENTS A DAY Laborer, Working 6 Days Receives Only $4.80 for a Week RUFFIN, N.G.-Colored laborers working on school construction jobs in this northern sector of North Carolina near this town are paid on a similar wage scale as the levee workers along the Mississippi River flood control camps, according to information learned here early this week. Reports, made to a Tribune reporter, revealed that men and boys, former farm hands, who are now out of work, labor on the jobs for an average of eight cents an hour, or 80 cents to $1 a day. Various reports showed that most of the colored workers are paid eight cents an hour while a few along with the white laborers are given ten cents an hour. The laborers work nine to eleven hours a day, going to work at 7 o'clock in the morning and getting off at 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening. The work consists of clearing the school grounds of debris and old waste matter preparatory to the constructing of a playground. Workers Walk Several Miles The schools on which this work is being done are white schools along the King Road in Caswell County. Workers live in the surrounding towns, Allison, Yanceyville and Kilquick, and are forced to walk several miles to work each day. Although the schools are under county supervision, the jobs are handled by private white contractors who refuse to pay more for this labor. A laborer working ten hours a day for six days receives only $4.80 a week for his work. Investigation by the N.A.A.C.P. of the flood camps in Mississippi several months ago showed that levee workers were also being paid 10 cents an hour.

SNATCHED FROM DEATH; IS GIVEN FREEDOM "This Boy is not Guilty of the Crime Charged," Says Governor RALEIGH, N.C. (CNS)—Tried for his life on two occasions, twice convicted on a capital charge, and sentenced to death in the electric chair, his case heard on appeals two times before the North Carolina Supreme Court, Wilbur McLeod, Negro lad of Lee County, it today a free man, having beer granted a parole by Governor O. Max Gardiner, as one of his last official acts before leaving the governor's chair. Early in 1929 McLeod was arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to death for rape of a 75-year-old white woman in Lee County. An appeal was perfected to the State Supreme Court, which court granted McLeod a new trial, basing the decision on the fact that the evidence on which he was convicted was not sufficient to convict. At McLeod's second trial, what was purported to be new evidence was presented to the jury, and for the second time he was convicted on the charge of rape. Lieut. Oxley Called In At the direction of Governor Gardner, Lieut. Lawrence A. Oxley, state director of Negro welfare, visited Lee County and made a thorough investigation of the facts in the case, and recommended that the death sentence be commuted to one of life imprisonment. In August, 1930, acting favorably on the report and recommendation of Lieut. Oxley, the governor commuted McLeod's death sentence. Since that time every effort has been put forth toward establishing the innocence of this unfortunate boy. One of the most important factors in securing his freedom was the contents of a letter written by Trial Judge Midgette, just before he died, early in the summer of this year: Judge Midgette, who listened to all the evidence in the case, wrote the governor that he was convinced of the absolute innocence of McLeod. Paroled Among fifty Christmas paroles granted by Governor Gardner, one goes to Wilbur McLeod, with the statement from the governor that "This boy is not guilty of the crime charged, and is being punished unjustly." Lieut. Oxley when asked for a statement on this case, stated that "Every effort will be continued, looking toward the securing of a complete pardon for McLeod, so that full, though belated justice may be done this unfortunate country lad."

Asks Report The Secretary of War has received a complaint and demand for redress transmitted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in behalf of John Samuel Clark, naturalized American citizen, born in the British West Indies, who by reason of his color was placed in jail and subjected to indictments at Cristobal Canal Zone, while en route from Kingston, Jamaica, British West Indies, to his home in San Francisco. The complaint, drawn up for Mr. Clark by his attorney, Edward D. Mabson, of San Francisco, states that Mr. Clark was carrying a passport issued by the U. S. Government, that he had in his possession sufficient funds to cover the full 'expenses' of his passage, and that on his way home while waiting for his ship at Cristobat on June 24, 1931, he was insulted and jailed by the local officers. Put Into Jail It is charged that the local health officer, Dr. C. A. Hearne, chief quarantine officer for the Canal Zone at Cristobal, sent him to the captain of the Port at Colon who asked him only his name and where he was going, thereupon returning him to the custody of Dr. Hearne to be put in jail. Upon Mr. Clark's inquiring the reason for his detention, as he was a first-class passenger having his passport and first class passage, waiting for his boat to San Francisco. Dr. Hearne is alleged to have said that Mr. Clark was not wanted in Colon, that he, the doctor, "had nothing to do with it. I am just going by orders and it makes no difference to me whether you have an American passport and first-class passage, you are still nothing but a damned old Jamaican nigger." Mr. Clark, the complaint states, was there upon sent to the chief of police at Cristobal to be placed in jail. Mr. Clark thereupon informed the Panama Agencies Company, controlling the Nelson Steamship Line, which company after communicating with the Panama Police Department, Dr. Hearne and the captain of the Port of the Panamanian Government, precluded upon the United States Consul at Colon, Dr. William W. Early, to procure Mr. Clark's release. Mr. Clark's complaint to the War Department states that he was confined in the Cristobal jail for one hour, and his Liberty was restricted for an additional hour in the custody of Christobal police. Had to Pay for Jail Food Dr. Hearne furthermore, it is charged, surrendered Mr. Clark's passport to the United Fruit Company only after he had paid $1.50 for mea's served him in jail and this passport was not returned to Mr. Clark from the United Fruit Company without the intercession of the U. S. Consul. Mr. Clark states that he was not seeking entrance into Panama and was therefore not subject to local immigration laws, but was merely waiting for his ship. Copies of orders issued in his case state that he was detained 'because he was "likely to become a public charge," whereas in fact he had $55.50 in his possession and was merely awaiting the arrival of his ship. The governor of the Canal Zone, H. Burges, is noted as having returned to the State Department that "under a strict interruption of the regulations, Clark should have been detained for the entire time he was on the Isthmus." Redress Asked The complaint states that not only was Mr. Clark a United States citizen, on American territory at the time of his arrest and entitled to the full protection of his government, but that he was "wrongfully arbitrarily and without cause or reason" arrested and jailed "without the least semblance of a hearing or trial and entirely without recognition of his rights as a citizen." The War Department is asked to vindicate the violation of Mr. Clark's rights while in the Canal Zone by American officials acting in the dual acapacity of officials for the American and Panamanian governments. His being on shore was due to the steamship company transporting him. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in transmitting the complaint asks not only redress for Mr. Clark and appropriate action against the officers responsible for his treatment, but also "the correction of conditions so that there may be no repetition of this episode with regard to other colored Americans who may have occasion to be travelling in the Canal Zone." Hurley Asks Report In a letter dated December 27, Patrick J. Hurley, Secretary of War, acknowledges receipt of the N.A.A.C.P. communication and states: "Your letter and its inclusions are being brought to the attention of the governor of the Panama Canal, with the request that he furnish a report on this case, and upon the receipt of the governor's report you will be communicated with again."

GEORGIA BARBER COMING TO THE WHITE HOUSE Irvine McDuffie Proud to Be President Roosevelt's Personal Valet ATLANTA, Ga. (CNS)—Irvin H. McDuffie, who became Mr. Roosevelt's valet while the latter was on a vacation at Warm Springs, Georgia, two years before he was inaugurated governor of New York and is slated to accompany Mr. Roosevelt to Washington, is quoted as saying: "I have been with Governor Roosevelt since 1927, and honestly, I didn't know anyone could have a disposition as good as his. There's no other man like the governor. "I never would have given up barbering to become Mr. Roosevelt's valet if my leg had not been scaled, making it hard for me to keep up my work," McDuffie said. "If it hadn't been for that accident I would have missed what will be the greatest experience of my life, being valet to the President." "If anyone had told me then that I'd go to the White House as a President's valet. I'd have said he was crazy. I never dreamed of anything like this." This 50-year-old colored man, born at Alberton, Georgia, is a barber by trade and spent 27 years of his life in Atlanta—part the time in business for himself. Travelled With Governor He has travelled with the Governor all over the country on his numerous trips. Before Mr. Roosevelt was elected Governor of New York, McDuffie was his only companion on trips through the Middle West. McDuffie accompanied him all over New York State on his two strenuous campaigns for the governorship, made three trips through the State barge canal to Canada, and two years ago crossed the Atlantic with the Governor when he went to Paris and Versailles. He also went with the Governor on his long swings through the West and South in the recent presidential campaign. McDuffie said his wife, who has been maid in a prominent Atlanta family for 23 years, would probably join him in Washington, but that she would not be on the White House staff. He has one son, Joseph McDuffie, by a former marriage, who lives in New York.

Leads Effort to Save the Life of Willie Peterson BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—One of the ablest criminal la yers in the State of Alabama has been working to perfect the de .use of Willie Peterson, twice sentenced to death here on a charge of murdering white woman, and himself shot while a prisoner in jail by the woman's brother. Dr. Charles A. J. McPherson, secretary of the Birmingham branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People states that the bill of exceptions in Peterson's behalf is being filed before the Alabama Supreme Court, instead of before the trial judge. The bill was prepared by John W. Altman, known throughout the South as a criminal lawyer, who is in charge of the defense. N.A.A.C.P. Financing the Case "We have raised and paid to the attorneys of Willie Peterson, $2,425," said Dr. McPherson this week, "and to date we still have a drive on in our N.A.A.C.P. branch to raise the balance of $575. Our local newspapers in Birmingham have all given us exceptional support in our drive." The national office of the N.A.A.C.P. has contributed $500 toward the defense of this case which has deeply stirred Birmingham. The alleged crime occurred Aug. 4, 1931, and involved the murder of two white "societyv girls" and the wounding of a third by a "Negro" who, it was charged, kept the girls on a lonely wagon road "more than three hours." "Identified" on Street Peterson, a sufferer from tuberculosis, a church member with good reputation never before in trouble, was suddenly seized on the street when the surviving white woman, passing in an automobile, screamed that he was the Negro who had shot her. Peterson has steadfastly denied his guilt. An alibi established for him by witnesses at his first trial, begun December 7, 1931, resulted in a mistrial. A second trial brought a death sentence March 4 execution of which was stayed by notice of appeal. Interne Despite Ku Klux Klan parades and other efforts to intimidate the colored citizens of Birmingham, they, led by the local N.A.A.C.P. and backed up by the national office are conducting a finish fight or this case. Dr. McPherson reports that the fight in Peterson's behalf has the sympathy of many "high class intelligent white people." State Bank at Boley, Opened Again BOLEY, Okla. (CNS) — The Farmers' and Merchants' State Bank here, where D. J. Turner, president, and two robbers were killed during an attempted robbery, was ordered to be re-opened, last week. The bank, under the order of the State Bank Commissioner, was closed to protect the small depositors, owing to the fact that the will of the dead president called for the sale of 130 shares of stock he owned in the institution. Stockholders have agreed to purchase the 130 shares owned by Turner and the State Commissioner at once gave permission for the bank to resume business. This financial institution is the only Negro bank in the state of Oklahoma, and has at all times been considered sound and reliable. The action of a bank official in protecting the funds of the institution from the robbers and killing two of the three who mad. the attempt has been widely commended throughout the state and nation.

Stewart, 21, of Germantown, who was recently found guilty by a jury in the circuit court here on a charge of attacking a 13-year-old girl in her home near Germantown last July, was sentenced Tuesday by Judges Charles W. Woodward and Arthur D. Willard to 15 years in the Maryland Penitentiary. Sentence was passed after the court had overruled a motion for a new trial, which was argued by Attorney F. Barnard Welsh, on behalf of Stewart, and State's Attorney Stedman Prescott. Stewart disappeared after the alleged attack and was not apprehended until about two months ago. Norman Thomas will never become a real politician until he learns to claim everything instead of admitting that he can't be elected—Springfield Union.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles JANUARY 6, 1933 Reorganization of the National Benefit Life Reorganization of the National Benefit Life The most significant event at the beginning of the New Year is the effort now being made by John Risher, through J. Finley Wilson, to reorganize the National Benefit Life Insurance Company as a mutual association. The effort is commendable. The actuaries who have examined the books of the company report that there is more than a million dollars in assets left. That is certainly worth saving to the policyholders. It is evident that if there is a deficit or loss of more than $4,000,000, the stockholders, with their nominal $250,000 capital, are wiped out. Little hope remains for them ever to recover a dime. The modern trend of insurance is toward mutualization, and if the remaining assets of the National Benefit are to be saved and used to advantage, mutualization points the way out. The status of the old company is known to the court by the report which the actuaries made to the receivers, and they in turn to the court. The court is not in the insurance business and does not care to continue the receivership. The stockholders are wiped out. Therefore, there remain the policyholders, and it is up to them to act for their mutual protection. Receiverships are expensive. With two here at the main office and eleven ancillary receivers in as many states, it is evident that it will not take long to absorb the remaining assets in receiverships. It might be interesting to know that the receivers appointed for the old True Reformers and for John Mitchell's Mechanics' Bank in Richmond, Va., have not been discharged. The District court might not permit the receivers of the National Benefit to hang on for ten or twenty years, but every month that they remain in charge is an absolute expense to the policyholders of the company. Hence, if the present outstanding business of about $30,000,000 of insurance force is to be preserved and the assets of more than a million dollars are to be utilized, mutualization must be begun at once. It will take months to complete the task of organizing forces, setting them up for business and actually getting under way. Our attention has been called to the case of a policyholder who died last spring, having a $1500 policy in the National Benefit. That policy has dwindled down to a benefit of less than $800. The beneficiaries received a letter last week from the company enclosing a check for $188, which was one-fourth of the amount to be paid on the policy, and that it would be some time before the remaining three-fourths could be paid in quarterly payments. Here is an evidence of the shrinkage in the face value of the policies and a fine incentive for the policyholders to begin a movement for their own protection. As long as the receivers are in charge there can be no active program for new business nor for the preservation of the present business. However, as soon as the policyholders reorganize into a mutual organization, active programs can be launched to preserve the present business and assets and to secure new business. This means more Negroes put to work and the operation of a million-dollar business. The success of this plan will depend upon the first officers elected to carry on the business. A shrewd, conservative and experienced business man who has had some experience in financing should be selected to head the organization. Upon this selection depends the future of the mutualized company. The most significant event at the beginning of the New Year is the effort now being made by John Risher, through J.

Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, has assumed leadership in the campaign to mutualize the policyholders of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. He has sent out a proclamation to all the lodges under his jurisdiction commanding their assistance in securing a power of attorney from each policyholder, for him to act in that capacity He has appointed an unnecessarily large and widely-scattered committee, supposedly to draw up the plans for reorganization and mutualization. The personnel of this committee is characteristic of most Negro committees. It is just another large committee, to represent all classes, factions and political interests. In his proclamation Mr. Wilson speaks of economy and the great expense of the receivers. Then he names men and women on a committee from New York and Chicago to Houston, Texas, and Tuskegee, Alabama. Who is going to pay the railroad fares and other expenses of these people to come to Washington and stay for the completion of the big task before them? Why did he not name a committee of three or five persons in or near Washington? That would have been the first move of economy in keeping with his securing the service of the Elks to secure the power of attorney.

Why is it that every committee appointed by Negroes must be loaded with preachers and teachers and the ephemeral officers of fraternal bodies? This mutualization is a business proposition, and calls for the wisdom, counsel and advice and experience of our best business men and financiers. It is all right to appoint a large representative committee for good-will purposes after the organization is set up and ready to do business. A large representative committee could function quite well in establishing confidence and promotion of the business.

More Democratic The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People can improve its status among the masses of Negroes in this country if at its annual meeting, January 8 and 9, the directors will pass a resolution to make the annual meeting a representative one and permit the delegates to elect the directors instead of a self-perpetuating board re-electing them selves. The masses have it deeply in their minds that the N.A.A.C.P. is a class organization an association for certain folks, and it there fore loses its pull for public support. Too much high-hatting will not attract the new Negro of today. Give him representation and he will respond.

Building and Loan Profits the line of business in Washington has by this year—the building and loan ans. What is true here is true at a country. Report from the secretary of the n nation states that 11,500,000 people in the profits for 1932, which am 000,000. Here are several building and loan ans here, all run by white people. Number of Negroes purchasing home could certainly be to their advan- tact an association for their own be- n Negroes in little towns like Ha- port News, Suffolk, and Portsmouth operate building and loan assoc- ity 135,000 Negroes in Washington should have a very substantial a on operation here. Why are we in so far behind in these matters? One line of business in Washington has made money this year—the building and loan associations. What is true here is true all over the country. A report from the secretary of the national association states that 11,500,000 people will share in the profits for 1932, which amount to $175,000,000. There are several building and loan associations here, all run by white people. With the number of Negroes purchasing homes here it would certainly be to their advantage to conduct an association for their own benefit. When Negroes in little towns like Hampton, Newport News, Suffolk, and Portsmouth, Va., can operate building and loan associations, surely 135,000 Negroes in Washington could and should have a very substantial association in operation here. Why are we in Washington so far behind in these matters? Howard's Jellyfish Student Publication. Howard University Howard's jellyfish are those students who do not speak up for their rights for fear of getting put out of school; the alumni who refuse to concern themselves with the life at this school because they "have their peace of paper"; and the faculty members who silently suffer injustices because they "might lose their jobs." Without doubt a period of decadence exists at Howard University. The morale of our college community is decidedly and disgustingly low. Gone is that thing known as "the good old Howard spirit." There is a need of unity at our school. Instead of unity we apparently have a number of inefficient departments continuously at war with each other; each department with a caar trying to cut-czar some other intellectual fathead. How is unity to be procured? Surely not by such supine and asinine methods as we have resorted to within the last few years. We are now in the midst of a situation that calls for men and women not jellyfish. One characteristic of jellyfish is, they never mass for attack. Each little medusa floats off alone in a sea of scum to feast on the refuse that is spurned by the larger fish. As a consequence of the methods by which the jellyfish lives he has no guts nor spine. Unlike other creatures that began life with him, the jellyfish did not care to struggle for existence, such clinging debris was so easy; hence the medusa has remained in the same state from the time it first appeared on earth So it is with the Howard jellyfish. The yellow-streaked, lily-livered horde of cowards are apparently content with our present state of affairs. They take a sedentary position and bask in the nebulosity of a fading institutional radiance. Do they stand behind our Alma Mater? No. They hide behind the insignia of Howard University, expecting the world to offer them a wide berth merely because they are in some way connected with this institution. We cannot stand by idly and see our dreams fade into thin air; see our hopes shattered; and see our ideals dragged through the mire of selfish interests. We realize that we are in a state of lethargy, and we are determined that those who are responsible for the conditions that obtain here must go. Another classic fight has begun and Howard University is the arena. In spite of all that exists, there are those who have courage enough to gather the remnants of a dormant spirit and start in the land of beginning again. In this fight the weak will be crushed to the wall. This is no place for jellyfish. Incredible—but True From the World Tomorrow sewere in this issue we present some concerning the trend of wages, di- interest in the United States since the evidence reveals that whereas them paid out in wages by manufac- lishments was only 38 per cent a september, 1932, as the average for total interest and dividend paym- can corporations in 1932 stand at per cent higher than that of 1926. The terrific drop in wage payments of ordinary rise in interest-dividend is help to explain the tragic par- much investors' money and too litt- ler' money. The volume of des- Elsewere in this issue we present starting data concerning the trend of wages, dividends and interest in the United States since 1926. Reliable evidence reveals that whereas the total amount paid out in wages by manufacturing establishments was only 38 per cent as great in September, 1932, as the average for 1926, the total interest and dividend payments by American corporations in 1932 stand at a level 55 per cent higher than that of 1926. The terrific drop in wage payments and the extraordinary rise in interest-dividends payments help to explain the tragic paradox of too much investors' money and too little consumers' money. The volume of destitution throughout the land is staggering beyond comprehension. In New York City alone the number of applicants for public relief has reached the benumbing total of 240,000—representing from one-half million to a million human beings. The Gibson Committee (the New York City Central Relief Committee) has failed to reach its goal of 15 million dollars, in spite of vigorous efforts to arouse the public by drastic warnings of the terrible consequences of failure. Many of the richest men in America have served on this committee. It is probably a fact that even in this year of tragedy the combined incomes of 10 of these men will exceed 100 million dollars. Yet they are pleading with individuals of moderate means to give generously to save their fellow citizens from starvation. An extra 10 per cent income tax in the higher brackets would provide vast sums for relief, and yet leave rich men with too much privilege and power. In the face of misery unprecedented in our history, the surplus of investors' cash is so stumped that the government of the United States has set a new low record of interest rates. Money is being borrowed on 91-day bills at approximately one-eighth of one per cent—13 to be exact. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. JANUARY 6. 1933 Kelly Miller Says Some Hope for the Negro on the Farm; None in the City Dean Miller Views with Alarm the Future of the Race, Especially Those in the Cities. It is not indulgence in metaphor to say "the race is losing ground" in the matter of farm acreage. From 1870 to 1910, the Negro made rapid advance in farm ownership. In the well-known language of Booker T. Washington, he was "planting his feet in the soil." A people who are rooted and grounded in the soil stand on a foundation that cannot be moved. Negro farms in 1910, if patched together after the manner of a quilt, would have covered an area as large as New England. But unfortunately, about that time a shrinkage began to take place. The boll weevil entered the equation and threatened the cotton industry with extinction. The Negro was introduced into the country chiefly on account of cotton culture, with which his fate on this continent seems indissolubly bound. Nowhere does he seem to be a self-sustaining outside of the cotton growing area. With the coming of the boll weevil the Northern exodus began. The World War accentuated the Northward movement into a hegira. Allured by the city attractions, men, women and children quit the farms and rushed to urban centers, as if stricken with panic. As a result the farms were emptied and the cities filled. Dean Miller Views with Alarm the Future of the Race, Especially Those in the Cities.

Let it always be kept in mind that when the Negro abandons a farm it reverts to the white man and is lost to the race. Not only were the Northern cities crowded to overflowing but Southern cities as well. In all of these cities the black newcomer found himself penned up into segregated areas. We are no longer discussing the theory of segregation but must deal with it as a bald fact. In exchange for millions of lost farm acreage the Negro has gained solid sections in all of the large cities. But the exchange is miserably inequitable. A half mile of Harlem is a bad swap for half million acres in Georgia. Within two decades the race has abandoned lands equal in area to the state of Delaware.

THEY DO NOT OWN THEIR SEGREGATED CITY SECTIONS The Negro does not own the city areas which he occupies but merely incumbers them. The economic opportunities are exploited by the whites and the white real estate extortioner He is a tenant by tolerance, without the power and pride which spring from ownership or prietorship. Harlem and South Chicago are the most striking and significant instances. The imagination shrinks from the task of depicting the fate of the Negro in these segregated areas in the midst of America's metropoles in the generations to come.

AMERICAN NEGROES ESSENTIALLY A PEASANT FOLK Negroes are not only a peasant but a tropical folk. They are not adapted to cold climate nor crowded city life, nor yet to manufacturing, trade and transportation, the dominant urban industries. It will require generations of experiment to determine their adaptability to the new order. Russia is now engaged in the gigantic experiment of the sudden transformation of the rural peasant into an industrial worker on competitive terms with nations with trained and experienced generations of industrial methods and city habits. The outcome is regarded with much uncertainty. The Russian peasant has every advantage when contrasted with the American Negro He is adapted to the climate. The industrial doors are wide open and bid him enter. He is under the strict and rigid discipline of state control. There is no racial barrier which slams the factory door in his face. He is spurred on by zeal for an economic propaganda which he embraces as his social religion. And yet with all of these incentives the outcome of the industrial experiment is dubious.

ANOTHER GENERATION NEEDED TO FIT US FOR INDUSTRIALISM It will require another generation or so of farm discipline to prepare the Negro for in industrial life. He must acquire self-discipline and self-direction and the intelligent use of tools. The more elementary farm processes under self-guidance are necessary preparation for the higher and more skillful manipulation of industrial machinery. No race has ever been prepared for its place in the industrial order with manicured finger nails. The future of the race will focus about the farm and the segregated centers in the large cities. In the smaller towns and villages they will find no place. The poor whites, rushing in from the country, will monopolize every vestige of working opportunity which such small places afford. Even the Negro village barber who used to be such an important personage, is a thing of the past. Intoxicated by the exuberance of city allurements he is threatened with extinction through moral degeneration. On the other hand, in the country he is embalmed as it were in a state of nature where he can abide his time.

A VISTA OF FIFTY YEARS POINTS TO THE RURAL SITUATION If we take a vista of fifty years every ad vantage lies in the rural situation rather than the urban. Discounting the present depression which we must do in any event, the Negro has the opportunity of forming farm communities with schools and churches and trading centers giving rise not only to material sustance, but to the social satisfactions of life. All of this is based upon the assumption that the white man's prejudices will remain substantially as they are. There is nothing in history or experience that would justify the belief that they will be essentially altered with in the next generation or so with which we are immediately concerned. The Negro will find little or no function in a machine-ruled world. Technogracy has no place for any despised and rejected group.

MITCHELL A NEGRO CONTRIBUTOR'S MAGAZINE About three months ago this column was devoted to suggestions for "Young Negro Writers." That particular release was written merely by way of reply to hundreds of letters received from aspiring writers over a period of two years. I had hoped that by contributing my thoughts on the subject that the matter would be dropped, as far as I was personally concerned. To my surprise a condition quite to the contrary has arisen and an even greater amount of correspondence has been received on the subject. Not only do the correspondents thank me for analyzing the situation they were up against, but most of them seem to think that because this column is read in every part of America that I can considerably advance their cause by placing their aim before the public in the hope that some progressive and capable member of the race will respond by providing a medium of national circulation for their particular benefit. ****** My conclusions in the matter convinces me that there is a wonderful field for a "Negro Contributor's Magazine." Such a magazine would accept only contributed matter, stories, essays, poems, features and drawings from the pens of aspiring Negro writers. Such contributors, judging from the correspondence I have received, IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER "Things Worth Knowing" Things Worth Knowing In George W. Johnson's "Things Worth Knowing," there is given information concerning "Composition of Anti-Kink Hair Preparations," "Color of Negro Bables at Birth," "What is a Jim Crow Law?" "Was Simon of Cyrene a Negro?" "Did Any Negroes Own Slaves?" Besides the topics mentioned, there is a wealth of information on a great variety of topics. Stimpson is a Washingtonian and has published "Nuggets of Knowledge," and " popular Questions Answered." "Things Worth Knowing" is published by A. L. Burt Co., New York. The daughter of the late Percy J. Bond comes forth with a book—and a different book at that. "A Study of Some Negro-White Families in the United States" by Caroline Bond Day (Harvard African Studies, Volume X, Part II) is now available to students of Negro history and race mixture in a limited edition of 250 copies. Mrs. Day, herself of partial Negro descent, has conducted, over a period of years, a study of persons of Negro-white blood, under the direction of the division of anthropology, of Harvard University, She presents in this volume what is considered as being the first attempt at a genealogical interpretation of race mixture among these people. This unique study contains genealogical, sociological, photographic, and anthropometric records on a number of separate families, and on additional individuals, all carefully interpreted and statistically analyzed by blood groups. The histories of forty-five specimen families have been published in extenso with photographs illustrating each generation. The book is 106 pages, with 58 plates and 93 statistical tables, and is offered for this edition for $3.25. Orders should be addressed to editors of the Harvard African Studies, Peabody Museum, Cambridge, Mass.

Buck, Pulitzer Prize winner, 1982, for her novel of Chinese Life, "The Good Earth," and who was received by a record audience on the occasion of the Opportunity Tea, contributes an article taken from her address on "Race." Alain Locke, of Howard University, writes brilliantly on "Literature of the Negro for 1982" in a dissertation captioned "Black Truth and Black Beauty." "New Educational Procedures for a New Emergency" is the title of Arthur Huff Fauset's penetrating criticism of the educational methods of today. The cover is by Hendrik Van Loon and there are book reviews by Ira DeA, Reid, Louis Reddick, and Madison W. Tignor.

A Study of Some Negro-White Families * * * * Good Reading in Current Opportunity are to be found in every community in the country. Each contributor would not only have the satisfaction of seeing his "brain-child" in print but each could, and would, act as a distributing agent for the magazine, and in this latter capacity could commercialize his own efforts, thus earning, indirectly, a competence for his contributions. With thousands of such contributors, from all parts of the country, an immediate nation-wide circulation would be assured, and would be constantly increasing because of the very active effort that each contributor would make in "selling" the idea and the magazine to his or her relatives, friends, acquaintances and neighbors. Apparently, the demand for such a magazine is undisputed. The question then is in securing a competent person to "put it across." There have been many attempts made at filling this demand, usually by "fly-by-night" promoters who lacked both the necessary ability and the means to make the project successful. To properly launch such a magazine the owner, or owners, should have a sufficient financial backing to carry their efforts for at least a year, either in the form of outright ownership of the necessary capital, or a pro rata investment from each aspiring contributor. With any who might undertake this project I shall be glad to cooperate, and help to provide a definite medium for our aspiring writers. A REPLY to Langston Hughes's "Goodbye Christ" Hail Christ!

Jackson, M.D. FRIENDSHIP, FAVORITISM, FAILURE I know a small man who has built a small kingdom on that brand of friendship which breeds favoritism, which is doomed to tumble some day like a house of cards. Real, true, genuine friendship is the grandest thing in life and the rarest ever. The world is full of a lot of so-called friendship thoroughly counterfeit and bogus, living on sham and smirk and seasoned with opportunism. Favoritism springs from the looms of this courtesan, the unbidden product of an unholly alliance which eventually finds its place in the gutter of failure. When this happens, as it is always bound to do, the spineless misguided travesty on friendship vanishes into thin air because there are no more favors to be passed around. A person of real upstanding qualities does not want favoritism to be the force which fixes his place in life, so much as fitness to obtain and hold that place. No real red-blooded person expects a friend to reduce friendship to such low terms, nor does he respect him in the end when the failure comes. In these days of stress and strain friendships old and new find themselves being tested by every sort of ordeal, but those which are worth while and founded upon unselfishness will endure the storm. Never before in my life have I so thoroughly felt the need of friendships as to be today, but those which I know to be genuine shall never BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL The Vow of Poverty and the Vow of Celibacy Dr. Carter Woodson Explains the Reasons Why He Felt Obliged to Take and to Keep Both of these Vows By CARTER G. WOODSON Editor of the Journal of Negro History "What do you mean by speaking so highly of women?" "Some one asked me recently. "You, an old bachelor, should be the last to mention that topic, for you have never thought enough of one to marry her." "This is not the true story." I had to reply. "I have never married, because if I had done so, in my indigenous circumstances, my wife would not have had a husband. "When I began the work of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915 I realized that I would have a hard struggle. I knew that most Negroes would not see any necessity for the undertaking; and I could not expect a large number of whites to finance the effort to convince the world that they have not been telling the truth about the Negro. "Consequently I had to take the vow of poverty; and I did not proceed very far before I ran into so many unexpected difficulties that to continue the effort I had to take also the vow of celibacy." SPENDS FIFTEEN DOLLARS A WEEK ON HIMSELF Soon the undertaking developed to the extent that I had to abandon teaching. Since that time, then, I have had to make every sacrifice to maintain the work of the association. With the exception of twelve or fifteen dollars a week which I spend on myself and a smaller amount which I give to assist a widowed sister, I turn back into the work all money which I can obtain. It is seldom that I ever spend more than twelve or fifteen dollars a week on Carter G. Woodson. To be married under such circumstances would be out of the question, for I find that some of our modern women spend more than that in a moment for cigarettes and drinks. BOOKS ON THE NEGRO DO NOT PAY THEIR COST Another person, surprised to know how poor I am, says that he thought that I had realized considerable income from books. He did not know that it is a rare thing for a book on the Negro to pay the cost of publishing it. Negr es, as a rule, do not buy books on their race; and the white people of the country seldom find such productions interesting. For that reason, most publishers refuse to bring out books on the Negro. They are in the business to make money, but we (the association) undertake the publication of the very works which they refuse, if the authors express a thought to correct error and popularize the whole truth. We have no desire to make money. We seek merely the opportunity to serve humanity. GETS NOTHING FOR HIS NEWSPAPER ARTICLES Another friend recently said to me, "Surely you are well paid by the newspapers for which you write." Thereupon I had to inform him that never in my life have I received any compensation from a newspaper. I am not a columnist, and I do not belong to any editorial staff. To lead Negroes to think seriously of their glorious past and their present untoward state I have been sending out weekly releases at my own expense. Some of the newspapers publish them in an inconspicuous position, others feature them, while a still larger number consign them to the waste basket because of the failure to understand the objective in the prosecution of this long neglected work. EMPLOYEES RECEIVE A MERE PITTANCE In the sphere in which we are working there is no possibility for adequate compensation. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History cannot pay men according to what they are worth. We have never had a staff of six or seven employees receiving four and five thousand dollars each annually. In the work of the association an employee is supposed to catch the spirit of the organization and give his time and labor for a mere be sinned against by courting favoritism, for such is the parent of failure. "A friend in need is a friend indeed," is an old saying and a true one. This is an age when friendship is being put to the acid test, for most of us are in need of it. Somehow I would like to think of my friends as those who can look beyond the shabby, rickety fence of my garden and see only the roses there and will want to help me keep them growing. 0 The Hoover stock market boom of October has petered out. President Hoover has not sent his marines to France to collect that $20,000,000. pittance. At present I am paying an employee on my staff twice as much as I receive because he has more dependents than I have; and, although he has been offered elsewhere more than he receives from the association, he remains with us. This spirit of most of those who have toiled with us is the most stimulating thing in all our experience. I was deeply moved or Christmas day by warm greetings from a young woman, an earnest worker who all but gave her life here in the same sacrificial way. ONE WORKER BROKE DOWN UNDER STRAIN We never drive any one; but, like most of her coworkers who plunge into the work and forget exactly how hard they are toiling because of being buoyed up by the joy of the task, she broke down under the strain. I urged her to retire and go into something less arduous, but she refused to do so. As soon as she gained a little strength she returned to her post. She broke down a second time and had to go to the other parts to regain her health. When she went away, however, she wept at the thought of abandoning the task at which she believed that she was doing something to give the true story of the race to this unwilling world. Several persons have said to me that I am doing the work at too great a sacrifice, for the public should do more to support it; but the public has not done so, and the work must go on. ACCOMPLISHMENTS ENUMERATED If we had not made these sacrifices we could not have made Negro History Week a national celebration, we could not have produced textbooks for classroom instruction, we could not have promoted the study of the Negro in clubs and schools, we could not have obtained numbers of rare books on the Negro to supply libraries at strategic points; and we could not have built up the collection of thousands of rare manuscripts now housed in the Library of Congress. If we had not made these sacrifices we could not have published eighteen volumes of a scientifically edited magazine, we could not have financed research out of which have come twenty monographs on Negro life and history, and we could not have had trained in modern historiography scholars like Lorenzo J. Greene, A. A. Taylor, and Rayford W. Logan. Yet I do not think that any of our workers feel that they should be praised for what they have done. These sacrifices have been willingly made. While these collaborors believe that the public should support those in the performance of the duty of social uplift and advancement of learning they are not seeking the plaudits of the public, for the greatest reward that one can receive is the joy derived from helping his fellow man. These workers who make such sacrifices for the good of others are doing what all Negroes in the service of their people must learn to do if the race is to be extricated from its present predicament. In business, in education, in social uplift or in religious effort we cannot expect to grow rich laboring among our people. The movements and institutions directed by Negroes cannot afford high salaries and live to tell the story of great achievement. These agencies have not yet developed to the extent that large income can be derived therefrom. Instead of taking money out of them we must pour money into them. The reward of the Negro banker, then, must be his satisfaction of having taught his people thrift. The reward of the educator must be the pleasure awakened in seeing the understanding of the youth enlightened. The reward of the uplift worker must be the joy from the rescue of the fallen. The reward of the minister must be his delight in the salvation of the lost. When you see things developing to the contrary you do not need to be told that the race has not been properly served. When a business enterprise fails although the heads of it remain in good circumstances, when an educational administrator dies right while running a boarding school, when a poor minister finally passes away worth more than one hundred thousand dollars in his own right, you know that such persons have not worked for humanity; they have merely changed their institutions into dens of thieves. If what they have thereby extracted from the Negro race falls into the hands of persons equally as unprincipled as those who thus hoarded it, these fortunes are lost to the race through the gew-gaws and toys which their heirs purchase from our oppressors. 1932 Closes with Merriment and Frivolity 1932 Closes with Merriment and Frivolity By CAPITOLA "A Happy New Year." Yes, many of them. That is what we wish each and all of you. The social realm in the nation's capital, has been one with plenty of merriment and frivolity for the past two weeks. Everyone was going and coming. Day after day and night after night there seemed to have been something to interest the elite of Washington—yes, both the old and young. From Christmas Eve, until the New Year was ushered in, there were dances, bridge parties, cocktail parties, at homes and what-nots. It was just a real life of merry-making, and a means of forgetting the past. The Alphas, that great Greek latter fraternity, with its great roster of brothers, entertained in honor of its visiting brothers with a most unique and enjoyable dance on last Thursday night in the used to be dining hall of Howard University. Among the guests present were some of Washingto.'s most prominent society debs, sub-debs, matrons and junior matrons. Everyone there seemed to have enjoyed himself and the ladies were gorgeously attired, in the very latest creations, and they were beautiful too—at least some of them—the gentlemen who always appear neat, were there in equal numbers. The Men About Town entertained with their annual formal dance on the same night as the Alpha dance. It is too bad that these two affairs were on the same night, as there were so many who would have gone to both of the affairs, and the most regrettable thought is, that both affairs came to a "discontinuation" at the same wee hour of Friday morning. Anyway the Men About Town, were really about town on Thursday night, as it is practically impossible to say how many guests did attend the delightful affair. The music was swell too, and the young men made most desirable hosts, thanks to the Drumgoole, Honesty and Jackson. WASHINGTON'S SOCIAL SET Washingtonians who motored to partake of some of the hospi themselves in a good old fashioned Virginians are known for their hos in Richmond during the holidays. The Kappa clansmen who att W. Va., during the holidays report of everything. Washingtonians who motored to Richmond during the holidays to partake of some of the hospitality of the Richmonders enjoyed themselves in a good old fashioned southern way. As has been said, Virginians are known for their hospitality—and it really was exhibited in Richmond during the holidays. The Kappa clansmen who attended the convention in Charleston, W. Va., during the holidays report a very delightful time, and plenty of everything. END OF THE HOLIDAYS Another bright-light of the Christmas holidays was the second of the series of dances given by the Bachelor-Benedicts on Friday night before New Year at the Masonic Temple. The dance was well attended by both Washingtonians and out-of-towners. The churches of the nation's capital were well attended by the church-going public on Christmas morning, and the discourses delivered by the various pastors were well taken and enjoyed.

NATIONAL 9590 At the meeting of the Century Guild, as guests of Mrs. Eileen Brooks, Sunday evening, the topic of discussion centered about Russia, her social problems, political and religious beliefs, or rather, the lack of the latter, the attitude of the masses toward the Soviet regime, and other pertinent questions pertaining to the Russian communistic enterprise. The hostess had assembled for the benefit of the guild, books written on Russia by people well informed on the subject as well as having been at various times actual witnesses to the proceedings of that country. There were exhibited also, pictures portraying the lives of the peasants and of the various governmental enterprises.

The boys were apprehended, police said, as they were about to steal the gasoline from an automobile to enable them to drive to New York in a stolen car. They told police they stole the car at Fredericksburg, Va., after another machine which they had stolen had run out of gasoline on the outskirts of that city. Police found several hundred dollars worth of goods in the stolen automobile, including rifles, barber's clippers and roller skates thought to have been stolen from hardware stores. The boys gave the names of Melvin Johnson, 15, 1800 block of Riggs Place; Harry Tibbs, 12, 1100 block of Twenty-third Street; Lorenzo Clarke, 14, 1800 block of Riggs Place; Thomas Fortune, 14, 1100 block of Twenty-third Street; and Earl Lee, 17, 1100 block of Twenty-third Street. Personality Expert Studies Ex-Slave Twins DURHAM, N.C.—(CNS)—Efnest Seeman, personality expert of Duke University has recently made remarkable discoveries in his scientific study of the dual personalities of two former slim women, twins 66 years old. These Negro women, born in slavery, are counted among his most remarkable finds. In a search several years ago for unusual twins, Mr. Seeman found this pair, the McKenzie twins, Mary and Martha, of Tuskegee, Alabama. Under his scientific observation have passed many duos of genius and idiocy, trampdom and plutocracy, but he regards Mary and Martha as his prize find—the most remarkable discovery for observation of dual personalities. Investigating the life story of the McKenzie twins, Seeman brought to light many interesting facts, outstanding of which is the story of the twins' first Christmas. On Christmas morning, 1847, Mrs. Mary Wright, of Tuskegee, Ala., received from her father, John McKenzie, of Tallahassee, Fla., a gift-basket, in which to her surprise she found a pair of one-year old Negro babies, as alike as two peas in a pod. During the childhood of Mary and Martha, it was a favorite pastime of their mistress to have the pair dressed in identical costumes and brought into the parlor, where guests would be called upon to name "which from t' other." As life went on, Mary and Martha, despite their beginning life identical in looks and disposition, gradually developed different personalities. Inequalities in their life experiences—in the joys and sorrows that have been their respective portions since they were freed from slavery in their seventeenth year—have gradually wrought changes in both of the now gray-haired women, Seeman learned. One mutual characteristic—their touching affection for each other—has remained unchanged throughout the years. Hero Remembered Xmas By Men He Saved MEMPHIS, Tenn.—(CNS)—Men who owe their lives to the heroism of Tom Lee, of this city, made it merry for the Negro hero and his wife in their little home at 923 North Mansfield Street. Seven years ago last May Lee saved the lives of thirty-two of those who were aboard the Norman, government boat which went down sixteen miles below Memphis, taking with it twenty-three passengers. Shortly afterwards the daily Commercial Appeal sponsored a fund and obtained $5,000 to buy Lee a home. At the time of the boat's sinking, Lee was employed by the Hunter Construction Company at Helena, Ark. He was bringing an inboard motorboat to Memphis when he sighted the Norman going down. He rushed to the rescue and succeeded in saving the live of thirty-two of those aboard. Title was placed in the names of three members of the Engineers' Club which had sponsored the Engineers meeting. Since that time the club has seen that Lee had employment and that his home has been kept up. This year the club raised $50 for Lee's Christmas and many personal gifts were sent by those saved by his heroism. Shot in the chest at his home in the 500 block of D Street, Southport, early this week, Charles E. Brooks, 47, was in a serious condition at Emergency Hospital late Wednesday. Police were holding David Copeland, 30, of the 'same address, in connection with the shooting. Leave for Georgia to Attend Father's Funeral W. Apson Longe, connected with the Capitol View Realty Company, left Thursday morning for Georgia where he was called due to the death of his father, Aaron Longe, who died Monday. Mr. Longe who left by automobile, was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Hobert Longe, his brother and sister-in-law. ANOTHER NEGRO FIREMAN SLAIN IN DIXIE Shot While on Duty in Engine Cab Near Baton Rouge BATON ROUGE, La. (CNS)—A veteran Negro fireman on the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley was shot and killed when his train stopped for fuel about one mile north of the round-house at Baton Rouge, Friday, December 28. Grant Johnson, of New Orleans, for 25 years fireman on the "Planter" fast Y. and M.V. New Orleans-Memphis passenger train, was shot and killed from ambush by a load of ouchshot as he sat in the cab. The slayer fled in the darkness. Authorities believe the slaying was another of a series of attacks that have claimed the lives of a number of Negro railroad employees in Louisiana and Mississippi the past year. Doctor H. A. Poindexter Qualifies for Doctor of Philosophy On the basis of study of parasitology at the School of Tropical Medicine in Puerto Rico during the past summer, Dr. H. A. Poindexter, assistant professor of bacteriology, preventive medicine, and public health, on the faculty of the School of Medicine of Howard University, has just received the degree of doctor of philosophy from Columbia University. The work of Dr. Poindexter was done under a grant for this purpose by the General Education Board. Before returning to the main land, Dr. Poindexter made scientific observations in the Virgin Islands, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti. Dr. Poindexter is a graduate of Lincoln University, studied medicine at Dartmouth Medical School two years, and graduated in medicine at the Harvard University School of medicine in 1929. He spent two years in graduate work in the Department of Bacteriology and Public Health at Columbia University. In 1932 he was appointed assistant professor on the faculty of the School of Medicine where he continued his research in parasitology. Dr. Poindexter is a diplomat of the National Board of Medical Examiners. Banneker-Jones School Has Exhibit of Work The Banneker-Jones School had an exhibition of the toys, Christmas gifts and clothing made by the children, parents and teachers of the school, December 19 to 22. The exhibition was a splendid outlay of the wonderful work done by the children during their activity period. Among the articles displayed were dolls, doll houses, vases, boudor lamps, pillows, scarfs, aprons, door stops, books, candle sticks, book ends, trash baskets, laundry hampers, sewing baskets, canned and preserved fruit and vegetables, jelly, kitchen closets, stuffed toys, a number of embroidered pieces, and a generous supply of dresses for girls of all sizes and boys garments for the needy children. The exhibit committee consigned of the following teachers: Mrs. R. H. Shorter, Mrs. L, P. Brown, Mrs. E. W. Terrell, and Miss R. E. Duffey. The sewing club was sponsored by Mrs. L, N. Chinn. This club distributed clothes and Christmas baskets to the needy on Christmas Eve. Many parents, friends and distinguished school officers visited the exhibition during the week. The play "In Santa Claus Land" was given by the dramatic club for the entertainment of the children, December 20, after which the Christmas carols were sung. The exercises were closed by remarks by the principal, Mrs. E. P. Derricotte, who presented prizes to winners of an art contest conducted in the school.

Pure Recipes for the Winter Table; Veal, Pudding and Cookies By Gertrude C. Frazier SLICED VEAL LOAF IS GOOD FOR COLD CUTS Veal loaf, like any meat loaf, is a good two-purpose choice for warm weather. It can be served hot, but to some ways of thinking, is even better when sliced cold. It is also fine for sandwich filling, either with or without lettuce or watercress. In making a veal loaf (or one of any other meat), mold the ground meat with the hands after mixing it with the seasonings and the "binder." rather than pack it into a loaf tin, as people often do. Then if baked in a moderate oven, the outside of the molded loaf browns but does not acquire a hard crust that interferes with slicing. Also the loaf needs no basting during slow oven baking, and the meat juices are retained. Meat from the neck, shank, or other inexpensive cuts is excellent for use in veal loaf. 2 pounds ground raw veal 1 cup finely diced salt pork (about 1/1lb). 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs 2 teaspoons salt 3 teaspoon pepper 4 teaspoon celery seed Fry the salt pork until light brown and crisp and remove the pieces from the pan. Make white sauce of the milk, flour, and 3 tablespoons of the pork drippings. Cook the celery, parsley, and onion for a few minutes in the rest of the pork drippings, and add to this the bread crumbs and seasonings. Combine all ingredients, using the hands to mix thoroughly. The mixture will have a sticky consistency. Lay a piece of parchment paper on a rack in an open roasting pan. Mold the meat loaf on the paper with the hands. Bake in a moderate oven (250° F.) for 1¼ hours. Do not cover the pan and do not add water to it. Remove the loaf from the paper and serve hot, or chill it for slicing cold. SCALLOPED POTATOES AND SOME OTHER KINDS. Haven't you known families that always served potatoes in exactly the same way? Plain boiled, perhaps, or mashed, or baked. All of these ways of cooking potatoes are simple, 'wholesome, and easy for the homemaker, but a little variety in flavor and appearance will help make the frequently appearing potato seem less monotonous. Whichever way you finish off potatoes, if you can boll or bake them first in the skins you will retain more of the valuable minerals that come close to the outside, and waste less in peeling. Need you be reminded backed potatoes "on the half shell," hashed brown potatoes, chips, German fried potatoes, or French fried creamed potatoes in a white sauce, with or without cheese are varieties that will please the eye and whet the appeite? Do you know that potatoes may be cooked in a tomato sauce? The trick about making scalloped potatoes of fine flavor is to sprinkle each layer with the flour, salt, and fat, and to cook so slowly that the flour and seasoning blend with the milk and potato. **Scalloped Potatoes** 6 medium sized potatoes 2 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons butter or other fat A sprig or two of parsley, chopped Wash the potatoes, cook in boiling salted water until half done, skin, and slice or cut in cubes. Grease a shallow baking dish, place in it a layer of potatoes, sprinkle with some of the flour and salt, and dot with fat. Continue until all the potatoes are used. Pour in the hot milk, cover, and bake in a slow oven for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are brown on top and soft throughout. If they become dry add more milk. Serve the potatoes in the baking dish, and just before it is sent to the table sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top. SCALLOPED SWEET POTATOES WITH APPLES OR PINEAPLE 8 medium-sized sweet potatoes 4 medium-sized apples, pared and cooled 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons butter Cook the sweet potatoes in boiling water until tender; cool, and skin. Cut the sweet potatoes and apples into slices, place in alternate layers in a greased baking dish, sprinkle each layer with sugar and salt, dot with butter, add a little water, and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the top layer is brown. Serve in the baking dish. With Pineapple 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes 1 can crushed pineapple 1 teaspoon salt Select a dry neatly variety of sweet potatoes and cook in the skins in water to cover. When tender, scrape, cut in slices of uniform thickness, and place in a shallow greased baking dish. Pour the pineapple over the sweet potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and add the fat. Bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes, or until light brown on the surface and the sirup of the pineapple has become thickened. Serve from the baking dish. 1/2 cups milk 4 tablespoons flour 1% teaspoon pepper 1% teaspoon celery seed With Apples THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, JANUARY 6, 1933 BAKED INDIAN PUDDING WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM If you have never tried this New England combination for a dinner dessert, by all means serve it one of these brick, winter days. It will undoubtedly become a regular family favorite. The flavor of the yellow cornmeal, seasoned with ginger and molasses, and slowly baked in milk, is delicious in itself. But with vanilla ice cream for a sauce on the hot pudding it becomes an extra special dish for high days and holidays. Or if you want a more economical dessert serve the pudding, hot or cold, with plain cream or top milk. Baked Indian Pudding Cook the milk, cornmeal, and salt in a double boiler for 20 minutes. Add the molasses and ginger, pour into a greased baking dish, and bake in a very moderate oven (about 300 F.) for 2 hours. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream, or chill and serve with cream or top milk. Quickly Made Cookies For the Male Folks Ther are two good ways of making good cookies in a hurry, drop cookies and ice box cookies. Either one is quicker than the old method of rolling the dough out on a board and cutting each cookie out separately. No doubt you often found, too, that in doing so, too much flour was worked into the dough, so the cookies turned out dry and "bready." Soft-dough cookie recipes can be baked as drop cookies, as in the recipes that follow for orange drop cookies, oatmeal drop cookies, and peanut crisps. The Bureau of Home Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture has tested the recipes below: **Orange Drop Cookies** 2 tablespoons grated orange rind 4 tablespoons butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 4 tablespoons orange juice 2 cups sifted flour 4 tablespoons baking powder 15 teaspoon salt Cream together the grated orange rind, butter, and sugar. Add the well-beaten eggs and orange juice, and the flour, baking powder, and salt, which have been sifted together. Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet and bake in a moderately hot oven (275° to 400° F.) for about 10 minutes. Oatmeal Drop Cookies 1½ cup fat 1 cup sugar 1 cup 11½ cups sifted flour $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon sodar dissolved in 1 teaspoon water $\frac{1}{2}$ cup chopped oatmeal 1 cup chopped nuts 1 cup seedless raisins Cream, the fat and sugar, and add the beaten egg. Sift together the dry ingredients, except the oatmeal, and add with the milk to the first mixture. Add the soda and water, and then the oatmeal, nuts and raisins. Mix well. Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet and bake to a golden brown in a moderately hot oven (375° to 400° F.). Remove from the pan while hot. Mix the peanuts, sugar, flour, and salt thoroughly. Beat the egg whites until stiff, add the flavoring and fold into the first mixture. Drop by small spoonfuls well apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned, in a very moderate oven (about 325° F.). Or you can use the recently discovered "ice box" method with any of the stiffer doughs. You just mix the cookie dough by the standard method, and then shape it into rolls as large around as the cookies are to be. Wrap the rolls of cookie dough in waxed paper or damp cloths, and let them stand in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight until they are thoroughly chilled. Then, with a sharp knife, slice off the cookies as thinly as you want them, and bake. Ginger cookies, sugar cookies, any standard recipe for rolled-out cookies can be handled in this way.

Foods NEW COFFEE TIN INTRODUCED HERE Improved Blend of Acme Coffee Packed in New Vacuum Can by American Stores Co. FAMOUS COFFEES USED A new type vacuum container has been adopted by the American Stores Company, well-known grocery concern, for packing one-pound units of Acme Coffee. The essential difference in this new type vacuum tin, which keeps coffee fresh indefinitely until opened, is in the pry-off lid, providing easy, quick access to the coffee in the can. Such a patented construction makes it possible to pry off the lid with only a little pressure, remove the desired amount of the contents and then tightly re-seal the can again, a feature which materially aids in preserving the coffee freshness after it reaches the home. Coffee experts of the grocery company say of the new Acme blend. "Many months were spent in experimentation, research, and testing in an attempt to develop a blend that would be distinct by virtue of its flavor, quality and arom. We are satisfied that our objective has been accomplished. "Acme Coffee is now a select blend of South American and certified Arabian Mocha and Java coffees. "Mocha and Java coffees have always been considered the finest grown. However, the crop is small and we have therefore sought to combine them with the very best South American coffees that would make a perfect blend. "At the same time the improved Acme blend was being developed, we also looked for an appropriate container. This new vacuum tin is considered a decided improvement over the vacuum tin that has to be opened with a key and which does not reseal tightly. Our new container opens by merely prying off the lid and re-seals tightly after using." "Not as yet. My family has named one member of a commission and my wife has named another. They are to decide on a third and the three of them are to decide on a name." TRIBUNE PATTERNS 788 788 981 SMART SLENDERIZING TAILLEUR PATTERN No. 981.

For purposes ‘of this survey, a section was selected which’ it. was felt would be. representative of homes of the poorer werking class. ‘The area selected ran from North Capital. to Fifth Streets, North- west, and. from F to K Streets, Northwest.» A fait sampling-was made of the homies. in this area. Residents of 160: homes, were interviewed. They include two solid blocks, one large- ly composed of white families, the other largely of Negroes, In addition; interviews were scattered through the remaining blocks. of this section, and.the re- sults. obtained were ‘substantially the'same’as those’pertaining’ to the two blocks for which complete sur- veys were. made, A Fair Piettire of Conditions It is. felt that this study gives a fair picture, not only of. all the residents in this area, but also of all similar areas in the city which house the poorer classes. It is planned to continue this ¢anyass and make a complete sur- vey, but in order to present to the Senate Committee the available data before the closing of its hear- ings, it has been necessary to. pre- sent’ at this time only this Destin, inary sampling. ‘The topies covered by the inves- tigation include number of persons in each family, number of. resi dents in each house, number of rooms’ per dwelling, the rent now and a year ago, wages now and a year ago, the number of children, the receipt of charity aid, and san- itary, conditions. ; Generally speaking, the study leads to a number of important ob- servations. Figures ‘on fie level (6f. rentals: indicated ‘that there has been little reduction made in the past year or so, in spite of the fact that the wages of the inhabitants have been greatly reduced, and that the uum- ber of uneniployed in relation to the employed is very high. Rents Have Not Fallen As shown below, the item of rent consumes over fifty per ‘cent of the total income, and further, rents have remained practically stable, while there ‘have been serious rg- ductions in income. The investigators discovered that 2 Jange percentage of the buildings ineluded “in this survey were old, dilapidated, and in such a state of disrepair, in many cases, as to be almost unfit for human habitation. Tt may be noted that the number of inhabitants per dwelling or per room is not nearly as high as in the tenements) of industrial cities. The following statistical presen- tation will illustrate in detail the relationships between rents, in- come, number of inhabitants per dwelling and. per room, ratio of employment, and receipt of char- ity aid. It was not possible in all cases to secure complete information. For instance, in some cases in which rent figures more obtainable for this year, the amount paid last. year was not. In such cases only those instances in which the figures were available for both years were used. Consequently, for some of the computations a slightly lower number of cases than 160 were used.

Thirkield, of New York, in his founder's day address, Friday, at Gammon Theological Seminary, this city. "Many theological schools," he said, "should reorganize their work to meet the needs of life today, with less attention to Hebrew and Greek and a great deal more to the practical needs of individuals and society." The emphasis of ministerial training should be shifted from theology to preaching, Bishop Thirkield said, and people should be invited to accept Christianity as a way of life, rather than as a system of theology. He pleaded for higher standards of intellectual and spiritual life on the part of ministerial candidates, and for a new type of evangelism adapted to changed conditions. Bishop Thirkield began the work of founding Gammon Seminary 49 years ago, with two students and an annual income of $1200. Called to another task in 1900, he left the school with endowment and equipment of $700,000. It is said to be the best endowed theological school for Negro ministers in the world. The seminary has sent forth a thousand graduates and has given partial courses to over a thousand more. Six of its graduates have become bishops. Dr. Willis J. King, an honor graduate of Boston University School of Theology, is now president. Church to Celebrate 136th Anniversary The Rev. Walter H.

Washington Baritone to Make New York Debut at Bahai Center Robert Murray Wins Praise of Critics of New York Musical Centers Robert Thomas Murray, 3rd, well known baritone, of Washington, and graduate of Armstrong High School, will make his New York debut February 12 at Bahai Center, 119 Fifty-seventh Street. Mr. Murray has been spending several days during the holidays in Washington after a successful tour of several of the Northern states including New York and New Jersey. He has been highly praised by many distinguished persons of all races, having sung at a number of the musical centers. He was guest artist for the Blackstone Foundation, Trinity Baptist Church, Mother Zion Baptist Church and the Friends Amusement Guild of which Valdo Freeman is executive director. Bahai Center Guest He was guest of H. Larence Freeman, well known composer of the grand opera, "Voodoo." Climaxing his tour, Mr. Murray had the distinction of being guest artist for the famous Bahai Center. Singing there brought him memories of his appearance with his quartet at Carnegie Hall which is directly across the street from the center. The Pahai Center is composed of all races and his work there was received by a noted and enthusiastic audience which was so moved by his cultured voice and interpretation of the numbers rendered that the auditorium was offered him for his New York debut. Praised By Critics The singing of Mr. Murray has brought high praise from New York music critic. Chauncey Northern, pianist and vocalist, stated that he has never heard a more refined or trained voice and offered his entire mailing list to the Washington boy for his use at any of his recitals. For his recital next month Mr. Y. W. C. A. NEWS Recognition service on New Year's Day was most impressive. To note the new members taking active part in the service was a gratifying sight with which to begin 1933. Phyllis Wheatley, as has been the custom for years, threw open her doors and for three hours there was a constant flow of New Year's callers. The lobby and club rooms looked particularly attractive with palms waving near the line of board members who were receiving. The regular meeting of the board of directors was held at 2 p.m. January 2, with an excellent attendance. Miss Lillian McRae, house direc- JARVIS CO.

Girl Reserve Department The finishing touches were hurriedly given the last of the toys as the Christmas tree was being decorated and preparations made for a display of the 250 renovated toys. The next task was filling the red bags with fruit and candy for Santa's distribution. At last the large full tree with many lights was finished and there were all kinds of toys for the children. At 4 o'clock the hostesses, members of the Girl Reserve committee and American Legion greeted two hundred and twenty-five children of the Associated Charities, and disabled war veterans, with many parents and visitors. The smiles that played across the little faces as they spied the tree and toys gave the sponsors much joy in their efforts to spread happiness at Christmas time. Children Act Playlet A beautiful little playlet, "The Toy Shop," sponsored by Mrs. Anita Anderson, Girl Reserves chairman, was given by twelve children between the ages of two to six years. The real Christmas spirit of sharing was thoroughly shown in the playlet. A group of large girls then came on the scene with another Christmas playlet, "Ah, what will happen next?" asked one little girl, and very soon all saw just what was next—ice cream—and how they did enjoy those dixies. Next came Santa Claus in his red and white suit greeting the children as they applauded and gathered around him singing for joy. He hurriedly distributed the toys and away went the happy children to their homes. The Girl Reserves committee members and American Legion members truly felt the meaning of the Bible verse, "Inasmuch as we have done unto one of the least of these, we have done it unto Me." Many Sent Toys Even though many organizations solicited toys for Christmas parties, the response to the Girl Reserves call was splendid and the committee wishes to thank every individual and group for their contributions. Special mention is made of the contribution of over thirty toys received from Dean Pratt, and from a class from the school of religion at Howard University, and the kindness of the Rev. and Mrs. Howard Thurman for the use of their home for the collection. Other donations for which we are grateful are: $3.00 from Mrs. Fitch, of Howard University; 20 pounds of candy from the Girl Reserves clubs $^{c}$ Francis Junior High School; two one-bushel baskets of food from the Dunbar High Girl Reserves Club, and many other donations which we have not forgotten The co-operation with the American Legion and their contributions strengthens the effort for both the Legion and the "Y". Mrs. Ellen V. Johns, who was house director and gave excellent service during Mrs. McRae's illness was showered with a fete sponsored by the Hostess Club, Saturday, December 31. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, JANUARY 6, 1983 Activities at the Zion Baptist Church During the Christmas season the young people of the Zion Baptist Church, F Street, between Third and Four and a half Streets, Southwest, engaged in several activities that brought joy to the hearts of many needy persons in the community. On Friday before Christmas, a committee of young people selected from the several auxiliaries of the church, headed by Mrs. Jennie Brown Lee distributed eighty-eight baskets to needy families. The recipient of each basket also received one dollar in cash. Nearly one hundred boys and girls of the community enjoyed a Christmas program presented at the church last Friday night. These children were the guests of the Sunday School and shared with the pupils of the school candy that was distributed. Santa Claus was present to cheer the children and to distribute the many presents that had been placed under the beautifully lighted Christmas tree for the pupils. After the program a large number of the visitors selected by Mrs. Sadie Henson, attendance officer of Divisions' 10-13 of the Public Schools were taken into a large room in the annex and given new and reconditioned wearing apparel which they were very much in need of. The clothing and shoes were procured by the Community Welfare Committee of the C. E. Society under the leadership of Mrs. Jane Chatman. At a brief, appropriate memorial service held at the Sunday School hour last Sunday in honor of the late Rev. W. J. Howard, the Howard Memorial Medal was awarded to Irva Humes for outstanding work accomplished during the year 1932 while a pupil of the third year junior department, Mrs. Sarah J. Turner, teacher. This medal is awarded each year on the Sunday nearest the anniversary of of the death of the Rev. Mr. Howard, Dec. 30, to the pupil attaining the highest general average. Mrs. Bertha H. Collins, Mrs. Louise H. Pack, Miss Jaunita Howard, and Miss Irma Howard, daughters of the late pastor attended the services. The Howard Memorial medal is provided by Mrs. L. H. Pack each year as a memorial to her deceased father. At the C. E. hour last Sunday, the Sunday School Chorus under the direction of George W. Peterson presented a program of Christmas music.

McGUIRE & SON ETHICAL MORTICIANS The Osteopathic Infirmary 1826 Ninth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. DR. T. THEO. PARKER, in Charge The Science of Osteopathy as one of the legalized Systems of Healing has, by the distinctly gratifying results obtained through its application in the CURING of human ailments, recommended itself to public confidence. The System of Osteopathic Treatment Stands on Its Merits. It Challenges Every Form of Disease of the Human Body. It Gives Surprisingly Quick, and Lasting Results in Hundreds of Cases Which Were Regarded As Either Acute, Chronic, or "Incurable." FOR OSTEOPATHIC ATTENTION— Call at the INFIRMARY— Or Phone North 10312 (Continued from page 9) (Continued from page 9) is only 1.97 per cent lower than a year ago, although it had been reduced in nearly a fourth of the cases under study. 2. The total wages per dwelling are nearly a third lower than they were a year ago, and they have been reduced in nearly two-thirds of the cases. 3. Rent now consumes over half of the total wages in each dwelling, whereas a year ago it consumed only about a third of wages. 4. The above points indicate that rent, always a severe burden upon the incomes of the lower wage groups, has become an even more severe one, because it has remained relatively stable during the depression, while wages have been cut to a considerable extent. 5. The average number of unemployed per dwelling is nearly half again as large as the average number employed. 6. Whereas the average number of persons in each family is about 4, the average number of inhabitants is about 6, showing that an effort has been made to make ends meet by doubling up and by taking in roomers. 7. The average number of persons per room is but slightly over one. While this ratio is considerably more favorable than would be found in the tenements of many large industrial cities, it is explainable by the fact that in the District of Columbia large tenement apartments have never been built. Rather, the lower wage groups have moved into dwellings formerly occupied by the upper and middle classes when these dwellings have become so run down as to no longer attract those classes. Moreover, it was often found that the entire family was living in one or two rooms because it was impossible or too expensive to heat the rest of the house. In many other cases an attempt was made to rent the extra rooms which usually were vacant. 8. The average total wage per dwelling is only about $65 per month, and the average wage per person only about $11 per month. When it is considered that over half of this latter figure goes for rent, an extremely low standard of living is indicated. 9. Less than a fifth of the reports indicated that charity aid was being received. Considering the high ratio of unemployed, the very low income left after the payment of rents, it is remarkable that more persons are not dependent upon charity. It may be that some reluctance to admitting dependence upon charity was encountered by the investigators. Some few may have been able to meet expenses by drawing upon savings, or by receiving aid from friends and relatives, which they do not consider charity. However, it is probable that considerable more dependence upon charitable organizations will be found in the future. 10. Moreover, many persons reported that they were one or more months behind in the payment of their rent, or were able to make only partial payments on it. 11. Seventeen per cent of the people who reported on this item stated that they had been threatened with eviction at least once while living in their present dwellings. 12. While the above figures present a sorry enough picture of living conditions in the poorer quarters of Washington, they do not by any means tell the entire story. The investigators found that in case after case the perosms interviewed were living in dwellings, which can scarcely be dignified by the name of hovels. Many houses have very bad and incomplete plumbing, and some no plumbing at all. A number of outhouses were discovered. Many houses had no baths, or even wash bowls. Leaky roofs, warped floors, broken windows, doors which wouldn't close, and other conditions which indicate exposure to the elements were found in a large number of cases. No gas and electricity connections, because of inability to pay for the same, were found in many dwellings. Papering and plastering were frequently in a sad state of repair. Heat was often furnished by laatrobe or coal stoves, the fuel supplied by the tenants. Summing up, it may be said that although those persons pay an extremely low level of rents, they receive less for their money, relatively, that any other class in the community. Conversely, it may safely be said that the owners of the buildings receive proportionately more upon their investment than the owners of property which is rented to people in more favorable circumstances. It may be pointed out that while the section covered was one occupied by the poorer working class, it by no means represents the worst sections of Washington. Housing, to insure decent living conditions at a price within the capacity of those inhabitants to pay, is a vital social need. The above facts have been submitted in the hope that Congress will not only take appropriate steps to reduce the burden of rents, which has been shown to be practically intolerable in sections housing the lower wage groups, but that it will also initiate the necessary reconstruction to provide living conditions fit for human beings at a cost within their pocketbooks. The Home Loan Bank of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation has made loans amounting to over four million dollars to farmers during the past six weeks. Several colored farmers have gotten their loans through. s of Washington: and EARLY for the BIG EVENT! whole town is talking about SECOND ANNUAL FREE KING SCHOOL AND economics Demonstration Classes SPONSORED BY Washington Tribune Homekeepers of Washington: Be on hand EARLY for the BIG EVENT!

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL TUSKEGEE CHOIR DIRECTOR WRITES A SYMPHONY Wm. L. Dawson, Composer Says He Wants Work Known as Negro's NEW YORK CITY (CNS)—William L. Dawson, the director of the Tuskegee choir of 110 voices now singing at the Radio City Music Hall, after four years of labor has completed a symphony, the first ever written based on Negro music. "Symphony No. 1," as Dawson calls it, will take 45 minutes to perform and contains four movements, an allegro, an andante, a scherzo and finale. Just after handing Leopold Stokowski 537 sheets of music, the product of his four years' labor, between snatches of description, the 35-year-old composer hummed arias of the opus that he had planned for years. "I've not tried to imitate Beethoven or Brahms, Franck or Ravel, but to be just myself, a Negro," said Dawson. "To me, the finest compliment that could be paid my symphony when it has its premiere is that it unmistakably is not the work of a white man. I want the audience to say: 'Only a Negro could have written that.'" Philadelphia Symphony Will Present It Only some slight revision remains before Dawson hands over his score for rehearsal and first presentation by the Philadelphia symphony orchestra. Woven into the opus are variations from four Negro hymns that form cross-currents of melody, sometimes monotonous patches of pathos, other times jots of joy. The introduction of the first movement is a 12-note melody, reminiscent of numerous Negro hymns, yet original with the composer. It employs the minor-seventh motif that dance orchestras have stolen for their weird endings. The body of the movement is built around the hymn, "Oh, My Little Soul Is Gwine Sing." Into the second movement, Dawson has fervidly poured the slave's lament. Underneath is a constant theme of sorrow and despair. The melody drones in a minor key. Toward the end, a children's sketch injects a brief note of happiness. But beneath the dancing feet of the "pickaninnies," the composer has shoved in a doleful wall. The dance spreads in the third movement, the scherzo, to the old folk as well. With the abandonment of care that only the race possesses, the dance rages on a cross-rhythm of variations to "My Lord. What a Morning." A Finale of Force Out of smatterings of "Hallelujah, Been Down to the Sea" and "Oh, Let Me Shine," Dawson weaves a finale of force. This he holds out as the Negro's pean of power, the strength that lies innate for eons, then bursts into freedom. The music rises almost constantly. The horns open the movement, the short bowings of the strings lend impetus. Not until the last note is the climax reached. The cornets rise. "Oh, Let Me Shine"—their cry pierces the counterpoint of wood-winds and strings. Joined by trombones in harmony, the cornets rise to the symphony's highest note—the cry of "Oh, Let Me Shine." Through it all will appear and re-appear, sometimes from the winds, sometimes from string instruments, one central theme, a hymn, related to jazz in its rhythm. Not Religious "But it is not religious," Dawson said. "It is classical in the modern idiom. It is an attempt to develop Negro music, something it has been said again and again couldn't be developed." Dawson wrote the music in Alabama, his native State. He was born in Aniston 31 years ago, studied in Kansas City and Topeka, and played first trombone with the Chicago City orchestra for four years. He was graduated from the Horner Institute of Fine Arts in Kansas City. At the graduation exercises the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra played one of his compositions. Dawson directed the Tuskegee choir at the opening of the Radio City music hall, December 27. DEDICATED NEW Y.M.C.A. IN HARLEM Dr. Charles E.

Johnson of Howard University will give four addresses next week in Avery auditorium on the North Carolina State College campus. "Pageantry Important in Religious Dramatics" says Gertrude P. McBrown Pageantry is a potent factor in religious and community dramatics because "it leaves never-to-be forgotten results of disillusionments, or more often, results of vision and service." The pageant is a series of pictures representing a Biblical, community or national theme. It is the simplest form of dramatic expression, but it is a form deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It has in it elements of high religious, educational and civic virtues. It can be given without words, with or without song, music and dance; with or without special costumes and stage properties. It is needless to say however, that the foregoing theatrical assets add to the general effectiveness of the production. Much care should be given to the production of the pageant in order that it will not degenerate into a mere show. Ofttimes from a lack of sincerity, concentration and mastery of technique, the pageant slips into the ages and becomes a fanciful parade from which no great benefit is derived. National or Racial Attitudes Practically all nations have expressed themselves through the pageant. The Orientalists gave pageants in connection with wedding feasts, funeral rites and nature worship. The Greeks added the pageants connected with the Amphitynic Games. The Romansed the triumphal procession of the victorious emperors. "All these spectacles recognized the universal love of color, motion and music," has been properly said of pageantry. The pageant of today is quite different from the early kind in that the latter, for the most part, was judged as a fantasy, an expensive spectacle or mere entertainment, while the pageant of the present renaissance makes a special appeal for some particular service. Henry Wilson in his book on pagentry says "Pageantry originally was the story of a district told at a district festival. Later we find that the word 'pageantry' became associated with a show that attracts attention because of its grandeur, its beauty or some striking feature." To many persons the word "pageantry" merely means state or municipal procession in fancy dress. But pageantry is more than this. It is the festal garb of nations, their "robe of glory." It is the expression of their inmost natures; it is history and tradition made visible, the culminating manifestation of the arts. The early English pageants were mostly confined to the church and trade guilds, these being the two institutions in the community around which processions centered in this direction. The early pageant may just be called "The Elizabethian Pageant," the most elaborate of which was perhaps the one given the day the queen rode to her coronation. Pageantry reached its height in the seventeenth century. Modern Pageants The modern community pageant came to life in 1905. Since that time communities and churches have used the pageants as one of the main vehicles for dramatic expression. "The Striking of America's Hour," published by The Pilgrim Press, Boston Mass., is one of fostering religious and community aims. Once when this pageant was given in Biston, the characters were selected from community houses and various churches. The spirit of co-operation was excellent, and as a result, the spiritual and civic elements blended as the Negro, the Jew, the Italian and other nationalities in "The great melting pot." revealed their history and their hopes, while Egypt, Babylonia and other ruling empires of the past pleaded with America as they picture their tragedy resulting from greed and selfish power. It would be amiss for me to close without calling attention to a few outstanding pageants by Negro authors. The four pageants in "Plays and Pageants from the Life of the Negro" by Willis Richardson, are among the best available. Mr. Richardson was fortunate in having Dr. Carter G. Woodson lend a critical and appreciative eye to the manuscripts which were submitted, thus insuring historical accuracies, correct names and dates. In the introduction to Mr. Richardson's book the author says, "We have collected what we consider the best material of its kind that could be obtained; and are offering this book to the public with the hope that there may be found in it plays and pageants for every need of school, church or little theatre group. If you should wish a pageant for children just old enough to remember lines, 'Two Races', which is both short and simple, should serve you. If you are seeking more elaborate and more suitable material for adults 'Out of the Dark', 'Ethiopia at the Bar of Justice', 'The Light of the Women' may please you." "Out of the Dark" and "Ethiopia at the Bar of Justice" have proved to be the most popular of the group. Perhaps the most outstanding presentation of the latter was produced by the Buffalo Community Center in New York. The scenery for the voyagant was de- Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook By F. H. M. Murray DEROGATION, NOT CLEVERNESS Heywood Broun in his column, "It Seems to Me," published in the Scripps-Howard papers, attempts to get some fun out of the fact that a writer in the Daily Worker protested against the use by one "Nancy F." in that paper of the very objectionable phrase: "That was mighty white of you," which phrase, as he says, probably slipped by the proofroom and the policy room of the paper, unnoticed. Broun says: Naturally this counter revolutionary expression has not been allowed to pass unchallenged. Comrade Elizabeth Lawson pops up to put Nancy in her place and show the full extent of this dangerous right wing deviation. "Now, just what does that expression 'mighty white' mean?" writes Comrade Lawson. "Is it only one of the expressions which have crept into the language as the result of the American system of national oppression of twelve million Negroes in the United States and, in general, the whole system of oppression of the darker people by the white imperialists all over the world. "The oppression of the Negroes in America, and the idea of 'white superiority' is one of those ideas which all the forces of the capitalists do their best to keep up." Commenting on this, Broun calls attention to many other phrases containing the word "white," among which are: white wings, White House, Walter White, white-livered, and so on, and adds facetiously: It is too much to ask anybody to believe that all this happened by chance and without a preliminary conference between Morgan, Rockefeller and the Governor of the State of Georgia. Nevertheless, the phrase is one of belittlement and derision, and, whatever be its genesis, Comrade Lawson is right when she says that Communists and militant workers (and I add, all who are intelligent and fairminded) should become conscious of such expressions, know what they imply and eschew them. Comrade Broun's humor or cleverness, if it was intended to be that, was entirely too costly, in this case—costly to the victims of the implications of the expression referred to, which implications indubitably are contempt and derogation. Halls Hill Man Was Not a Suspect in Boy's Death Roy E. Thornton, of Halls Hill, Va., stated this week that he was not summoned to the inquest of Howard Walker, 9-year-old boy who was killed by a hit-and-run truck driver on December 22 as one of the drivers who were suspected of hitting the child, but was summoned as the truck driver who found the boy lying in the street. Thornton's name was listed in the Tribune last week as one of five truck drivers summoned to the coroner's hearing. He wishes it known that he was not a suspect, but was the man who found the boy. He incidently is a truck driver. Little Drink Costs Woman Four Dollars Because she was feeling blue and not in the proper mood to make New Year whoopee, Mattie Smith, 35 years old, of 1726 Tenth Street, Northwest, went into a gin-mill in an alley between S and T, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Streets, Northwest, to buy a little drink. After taking the drink she says she became unconscious and did not know what went on from that time until 4 a.m. the next morning when she awoke in her home at the above address. The Hill woman further states in her complaint to the police, that a man named Staples told her that a man had brought her there during the night and assaulted her, and took her wallet containing four dollars. New Year Ushered in With Street Brawl During a mid-night celebration of the year's end, Eva Hill, of 2225 Eighth Street, Northwest, was assaulted and badly beaten by Clarence Moss, alias Wright. 27 years old, of 144 Thomas Street, Northwest. She said that after choking her and dragging her about the yard, he broke two of her front windows and the front door in an attempt to enter the house. Moss was later arrested and carried to Freedmen's Hospital, where he was treated by Dr. Brown for a larcation of the forehead. Later he was taken to No. 2 Precinct where he was charged with drunkiness, disorderly conduct, assault, and destroying private property.

The pageant's the thing! Let's have more pageants. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. JANUARY 6, 1933 Ever since man began to live in communities and formed what is termed society we have had divisions. There has always been in the history of civilization the masses and the classes. The masses have always been antagonistic toward the classes and vice versa. People who own property and those who rent from them; those who owe and those who are owed will always form distinctive groups. This in essence being true, there are countless battles in the ever present war of the masses and classes which if their origin could be traced, or if their source could be found and presented in a clear way, could be eliminated by a cooperative effort on the part of the opposing groups. This column dedicates itself to the presentation of facts about the class war in America, their origin, and the groups or persons responsible for each situation. It does not intend to offer solutions but merely to present the picture as it is. *** I have often heard it said that it is a long road that doesn't have a turning point some place, somewhere. This was demonstrated last month in Alabama when a group of Negro share-croppers arose in rebellion with concerted demands for their betterment. For years planters, not all of them, but a substantial majority, have been exploiting the share croppers in every wav that capitalistic, greedy, money-crazed minds could devise. A lot of us can remember the tale of the colored share cropper who went to the general store to pay his bill after the cotton season and was asked by the planter if he remembered the side of bacon that he got and the one he didn't, the sack of meal he got and the one he didn't get, and the barrel of potatoes he got and the one he didn't get. That of course while not the actual recording of an incident is typical of the practices on the cotton fields of the South, a South drenched in the blood of the Negro and the "poor white trash." *** Incidentally that reminds me that the South I was just talking about is the same South that Arthur Brisbane, that "super-intelligent critic" and prognosticator and authority on every question on the face of the earth, wanted the Governor of the State of New Jersey to send that white lad back to, in order that he could endure the torments of medieval barbarism which certain sections of Mr. Brisbane's South have been unable to outgrow. Of course no one paves any attention to Mr. Brisbane or his inconsistent, confused, ill-disgusted expositions on philosophy and sociology. For once however in advertising his opinion of the Burns case he straveled off the reservation. Mr. Heearst, for whom he writes and with whom he has always been careful to conform his opinions, disagreed with him. Brisbane, however, as we who read him have found out, is just another in the great army of cheer leaders of the capitalistic system, who have grown frantic by the accelerated decay of capitalism. The question that arises in my mind and the minds of other observers of the class struggle in this country, particularly as it affects the colored population is whether or not the present system, commonly referred to as capitalism can be maintained, with its injustices, inequities and its utter lack of fair play and proper value for human beings as such. Will men continue to allow other men to use their bodies, destroy their souls, and then cast them off as one does a worn out piece of machinery, for private profit? Will one section of the people revel with unearned money while the other section starve and watch their children starve? * * * * Congratulations! To the daily press for their adequate determining of the things their readers are interested in. I refer to their stories of whether Mr. Hoover caught any fish and their detailed description of the ten sailfish caught by his party. Interesting isn't it, to the mass of readers. N.A.A.C.P. Annual Meeting Next Week in New York NEW YORK.—Plans we announced today for the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to be held here on Sunday, January 8, and Monday, January 9. The Sunday mass meeting will be held at 3:00 p.m. at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, 132 West 158t. Street. Among the speakers will be Mayor Joseph V. McKee, if his health permits, and the Rev. Lorenzo H. King, pastor of the St. Mark's M.E. Church. Featured at this meeting will be the Mississippi flood control project and the Wagner resolution for a Senate investigation. The annual business meeting will be held in the offices of the association, 69 Fifth Avenue, at 2:30 p.m., on January 9. At this meeting the annual reports of the secretary, treasurer and other officials will be read and members of the board of directors will be voted upon. The public is invited to attend both meetings. C. LESLIE FRAZIER Let's Move Out! The farm population division of the Agricultural Economics Bureau in a nation-wide sampling census established that in three months of this year the exodus farmward was 40 per cent of last year's total movement. * * * * Eighty per cent of Negro homebuyers are paying overcharge prices for antiquated houses given up by white owners, who he to the suburbs where air and sunshine can be enjoyed. Why have we, as a race, got to be penned up in a city paying exorbitant prices for old houses, or paying steep apartment rent? Concerning Women That the present legislation barring women from jury service is a protective measure and not a sex discrimination is the sentiment of the members of the Housekeepers' Club of Decatur Heights, Prince Georges County, Md. This decision was reached at a meeting of the group. The members further believe that jury service for women would not benefit the cause of justice, but would interfere with the duties of the women in their own homes. * * * * * Suffrage, like many other things, does not seem to be so much desired after obtaining, as before possessing, judging by the actions of the greater number of women and Negroes. People Who Think? The general alumni association of Howard, through a national committee, has sponsored a movement to present on Charter Day, March 2, an oil painting portrait of Dean Kelly Miller to the university as the first to be hung in a hall of fame which the alumni expect to establish there. The painting will be one of eight portraits of distinguished educators to be presented to various institutions by their alumni. It has been completed by Bernhard Goodwin, international portrait artist. A memorial volume will be purchased at the time of the presentation containing names of alumni who join in the movement through popular subscription. The cost of the portrait will be $2,500. The committee in charge consists of Alma J. Scott, James T. Gillia Nutter, J. B. Stubbs, Priscilla Tyler, Vashti T. Murphy, S. L. Catlett, W. Justin Carter, G. S. E. Bell, Clayborne George, and Juanita Howard. ★ ★ ★ What with Howard appealing to the Government for funds, and with hundreds of Negro boys and girls in need of scholarships, this $2,500 looks as though it is being foolishly spent. What would be a better tribute to Mr. Miller than the creating of a Kelly Miller scholarship fund? College, College, College! Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, recently declared that ability to pass intellectual tests should be considered third to a student's character and manners in passing upon academic advancement or graduation. He said: "A deplorable result is the constant graduation from colleges, and often from professional schools, of youths of most uncertain character and shocking manners who receive academic advancement on the sole basis of having, in more or less mechanical fashion, complied with certain examination tests. "Evidences of his character building should come first, and evidences of his good manners and respect and concern for others should come second; and, these lacking, no intellectual performance of any kind should win him advancement or graduation." ```markdown ``` It is not necessary for a Columbia University president to tell us about the lack of manners. We who come in contact with certain college folks here in Washington learned that years ago. Machinery James S. Thomas, economist, in the current issue of Nation's Business, official organ of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, said machines expand rather than diminish employment, adding: "The machine, by freeing man from the forces of nature and giving him a command over his environment never before enjoyed, has made it possible to enjoy the essence of Western civilization which is the mastery of environment, the bestowal of greater leisure, the democratization of the life processes and the freeing of all men for some creative, artistic achievement." Realizing that there are thousands of illiterate citizens of this country who do not come in the category of those possessing the faintest trait of creative ability, we are wondering how anyone can say that machinery is not affecting this class of people. VISITOR ACCIDENTALLY SHOT IN HAND BY PAL While visiting his friend at 1554 Eighth Street, Northwest, early this week, Willie Jackson, 29, of 400 block of M Street, Northwest, was accidentally shot in the right hand by William Ayers, of the former address. At Freedman's Hospital where the wounded man was treated his condition was said to have been not serious. FOOD FOR THOUGHT I take this means of wishing my readers a prosperous and Happy New Year. * * * * A question has arisen in my mind which I wish to have my readers help me to answer. The question arose after I had read in last week's Tribune the poem "Goodbye, Christ" the authorship of which is credited to Langston Hughes (who is rated as being one of the better Negro poets). I wish my readers to re-read and compare that obviously sacrilegious poem to the stock-phrase of my grand-parents who said (and say): "You may take all of the world but give me Jesus." I am wondering whether Mr. Hughes, who has been termed "an outstanding example of the New Negro," in his poem "Goodbye, Christ" takes the attitude toward Christianity of a majority of the new Negroes. This is a serious problem to me, as I consider myself a candidate for admission into the ranks of the new Negroes. ***** Last week the N.A.A.C.P. reported only eleven lynchings for 1932, a decline of three from last year. I wonder how many of my readers know that the N.A.A.C.P. issues a Christmas seal now. Oh, yes, speaking of lynchings: I noticed in the daily Herald one day last week this announcement: "Col. and Mrs. Granvill. Fortescue entertained at a tea dance yesterday at the Chevy Chase Club to present to society(?) *t*ir daughter, Miss Helene Fortescue. Mrs. Thomas Masse里 came from Philadelphia for her sister's debut." I understand that the young man in the case (Honolulu incident) is still in th'nay. DEANWOOD. D.C. V. A. Burch. Reporter Mrs. Jennie Wells, who resides at the corner of Forty-eighth Street and Sheriff Road, Northeast, is on the sick list. Little Dorothy C. Major, of 1048 Forty-eighth Street, Northeast, was well rewarded by Santa Claus for her splendid school record. Deanwood was agreeably surprised in the past few weeks by the appearance of two new comers in the neighborhood, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, 4608 Kane Place, Northeast, and the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Franks, 1027 Browning Place, Northeast. Both are fine and healthy in appearance. Mrs. Maria Yancey entertained her Elk Chorus Club Wednesday night at her home, 4605 Kane Place, Northeast, and in spite of the weather, all of the members present enjoyed the supper served them by their hospitable hostess. The Northeast Women's W.V.W. Club will hold its meeting Thursday, at 8 p.m., at the residence of the Deanwood Student-Aid chairman, 4605 Kane Place, Northeast. All members are asked to be present, in order that the work of the club may be started promptly. Mrs. Pocahontas Doctor, beloved wife of George Doctor, of the 43 block of Sheriff Road, Northeast, died Monday, and was buried in the family plot at Warrenton, Va. The Rev. G. W. Brent, of the First Baptist Church in Deanwood, conducted funeral services at both places, an the choir furnished music for the occasion. Mrs. Jennie Wells continues ill and is confined to her home. Man Who Twice Attempted Suicide Held for Observation After twice attempting to commit suicide by taking poison, James Woodward, 27, 23 P Street, Northwest, was arrested by Second Precinct police and held for mental observation. Woodward drank a quantity of iodine at his home where he was given first aid treatment by William Payne, and later taken to Casualty Hospital. After treatment at Casualty, the man signed a release and again attempted to swallow iodine. On the second occasion he was arrested and later sent to Gallinger Hospital for mental observation. No reason for the man's actions could be ascertained by police. Stabbing Victim Suffering With Wound Near Heart Glenn Cravens, 23, and Harrison Brown, 43, both living in the 1300 block of W Street. Northwest, were treated at Freedmen's Hospital early this week for stab wounds received during a fight in front of their home. Cravens's condition was said to be serious. Brown, who received cuts about the head, was later arrested and held pending the outcome of the former's wounds. Cravens was suffering from a wound near 'the heart. UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN CUTS MAN DURING STREET FIGHT During an altercation with an unknown woman at Ninth and R Streets, Northwest, John Robinson 37, 1035 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, was cut across the head and left leg by the woman. The man was taken to Freedmen's Hospital where 17 stitches were required to close his wounds, and later removed to his home. OUR MAIL Red Cap Porters Are Still Gentlemen To the Editor: The porters at the Washington Terminal feel that Carter G. Woodson dealt with them unfairly in The Tribune of last week when he attempted to show how courteous the porters are to light persons and how indifferent they are to those of a darker hue. Handling luggage is the means by which the porters are enabled to provide for their families and meet other obligations; then why would one pass idly by a passenger desiring service? A dime from a light lady buys the same amount of groceries as ten cents from a darker one. The porters handle any number of passengers who say they do not have any money, and they (even though they depend entirely upon tins for their existence) help them willingly. Mr. Woodson seems to be the only one who knows about the grand rush on the light lady and the dissatisfactory service accorded the darker one. Had his statement been accurate, it seems that some of the porters would have seen or heard of the great commotion. Does it sound reasonable that a passerby would know more about the train arrivals and departures than 200 men who spend 365 days yearly dealing with them, even getting the train positions from starting point to destination? I am sure that the article that appeared in the Tribune of December 30 was as much a shock to the porters as to the public. There are many articles in newspapers that should be put on the comic page, but from lack of space they are headed otherwise and run as news. The Red Cap Porters a t the Washington Terminal are at the service of the public, be you black, white, rich or poor, with especial attention to invalids and the aged. We believe that Mr. Woodson knows something about history, but we feel that his information with regard to red-capping is negligible. (Signed) The Parcel Porters at the Washington Terminal. DePriest Made Adroit Move for Howard To the Editor: In order that your readers may fully grasp the move which Congressman Desriest scored in putting through his amendment to give Howard University a new heating plant, it must be borne in mind that to change a minority amendment and make it a part of an appropriation bill, under the existing procedure in the House of Representatives, is far from being an easy matter. In this case the House had already voted down the Congressman's amendment, upon an appeal made by Representative Byrns of Tennessee, the able Democratic chairman of the House committee on appropriations. Then after his amendment had been voted down, 61 to 35, Mr. DePriest finally succeeded in getting a roll call to recommit the appropriation bill to the committee from which it originated, with instructions to incorporate his amendment. The roll call was a triumph for the Congressman, and to the surprise of the best parliamentarians in the lower House the bill was recommitted by a vote of 138 years to 105 nays. When the bill returned with the university amendment incorporated, it was agreed to by the House without a record vote. This was, indeed, a master stroke viewed at from any angle you may wish, and I venture to predict that it will be a long time to come before Congressman DePriest, or any other member of the minority in the House of Representatives will be able to duplicate this action on an appropriation bill controlled by the majority party. Will the Representative from the first Illinois district try to step over again, for instance when the next tariff or tax bill comes up for consideration in the House? Will he be able to move an amendment granting an hourday's pay to the underpaid workers of Dixieland, and when the amendment is voted down makes a motion to recommit the bill with instructions and when it is returned with his amendment pass it through the House just as he did the amendment for Howard University? Of course, this is too much to hope for, but it only shows what it is possible to do when an alert Congressman really knows his "onions." An examination of the names of the men who voted "No" and against the motion to recommit shows that some of the oldest parliamentarians in the House, including Speaker-elect Rainey, was against the proposition. But after all, this practical move of Mr. D'Epriest's shows to the country that he is studying and studying hard how to be of real service to the forgotten man while he is serving as a member of the House. Perhaps he did not know it, nor do the high-ups at Howard University, but the precedents of the House and Senate show that when either House of Congress recommends a bill and the bill is finally passed by the body where the conversial amendment originated, that such an amendment usually remains unless stricken out by executive veto. Congressman Mouser of Ohio THIRTEEN Van Loon Criticizes Teaching of Geography in Schools Hendrik Willem Van Loon, author of "Geography" and other books, takes sharp issue with current methods of teaching geography in an article "The Wondrous World and the Child" in the January issue of Opportunity, Journal of Negro Life. Writing of the use of outline maps in particular he says: "If I had anything at all to say about it (which unfortunately I do not) I would make a bonfire of all so-called 'outline maps', for they are merely lazy shortcuts for lazy infants. I would proide each child with paper and pencils galore (the depression has brought the price of colored pencils down quite considerably) and I would let them see a large map and would tell them all about the lay of the land of that particular map and of the mountains and the rivers and the cities and the railroads, and then I would take the map away and bid them to tell their own story of what they remembered, but in their own way. "The first few times the results would be quite as grotesque as that of most of our venerated mediaeval maps. But you would be surprised to see how quickly such maps improve if you will only keep the game going for a long enough period of time." Mr. Van Loon in his opennig sentences reveals the reason why this article which is in the nature of an answer to critics of his recent book appears in Opportunity: "A long, long time ago I promised the editor of Opportunity that I would write him an article and I thought: Why not make it geography? I am forever writing little pieces about the way to teach children geography and history and out of sheer force of habit, I suppose I am writing them as if there were onl. white children in this world of ours. "Like everybody else, I seem to take it for granted that if I have something new to say, all I need do is to tell the white children about it and somehow or other, the others will sooner or later hear about it. Now I think that I have something to say that out to be said, and suppose I reverse the process and tell the colored children and their parents about it first of all and let the white infants and their papas and mamas hear about it the other way around." A New Year Resolution By Laurence J. W. Hayes By Laurence J. W. Hays The Bible tells the story of Methuselah's living over nine centuries, but so far as the record shows, he never did anything or thought anything to make such longevity worth while. He lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years, died and, went to heaven in due time. What of it? Of course, few of us need worry about living even one-tenth of that time, yet, most of us misuse much valuable time foolishly, which we can ill afford to lose. There are more constructive and worth while things to do than we shall ever get done; there are more good things to read than we can ever look at; there are more avenues to enjoyment than we can ever find time to travel. Having so many avenues open, we are apt to dabble. As one writer aptly terms it: "We litter up our lives with indiscriminate preoccupation." As a general rule we let first come be first served, forgetting that the finest things do not crowd. Harry Emerson Fosdick said: "Preoccupation is the most common form of failure." How then must we spend our time? The Resolution I hereby resolve that I will spend my time, minding my own business and reading worth while literature, especially that which deals with the Negro, as: Carter G. Woodson's "The Negro in Our History" J. A. Rogers's "World's Greatest Men of African Descent," George S. Schuyler's "Slaves Today" all of the works of DuBois, Kerli's "Negro Poets and Their Poems," and the like; getting an alm in life—it is, visualizing some objective which I feel that I am capable of achieving. I shall make practical plans for the achievements of this objective will endeavor to carry out these plans intelligently.

This Congress is spending several hundred thousands of dollars for new buildings. I say to you it is the falsest kind of economy to permit new structures intended to meet the needs of the rapidly growing population of this university because of the interest of colored people in enlightenment and education to permit these buildings to be unoccupied under the guise of economy and stop these men and women from getting learning in the professions to administer." mister among their own uieldoad — J.

MURRAY, Manager Saturday, Sunday and Monday January 7-8-9 REX BELL in ‘LUCKY LARIGAN Tuesday and Wednesday January 10-11 REX LEASE in ‘The Lone Trail’ Thursday and Friday January 12-13 ROCHELLE HUDSON in ‘The Savage Girl’ SPECIAL—“TIGERS AND ELEPHANTS” FOURTEEN MADAM BUTTERFLY OPENS FRIDAY AT REPUBLIC "Madam Butterfly," one of the most treasured romances of all time, now done into a motion picture, comes to the Republic Theatre Friday, January 6, for five days with a cast headed by Sylvia Sidney, Cary Grant, Charles Ruggles, Irving Pichel, and Helen Jerome Eddy. Miss Sidney, playing the title roie—a high-born Japanese girl—makes her appearance in an entirely new type of characterization. Eyebrows and eyes slanted, hair lacquered, her steps mincing, draped from head to foot in colorful oriental robes, she is anything but the American girl of "City Streets," "An American Tragedy," "The Miracle Man," "Merrily We Go to Hell," or other of her recent screen successes. It is the story of the beautiful Japanese girl's romance with the American naval officer with which Madam Butterfly concerns itself. Grant as the officer stationed in the island land, meets and falls in love with her. Then discovering that under Japanese law, divorce is almost automatic when a husband leaves his wife, he decides to marry her and enjoy the happiness of life with her while he remains in the country. As for what is to follow, he does not concern himself. For Wednesday and Thursday, "Vanity Street," with Charles Bickford, is the feature production. It is a story portraying the life of a chorus girl alone in a big city. She becomes strangely entangled with the detective force through a mysterious murder. Charles Bickford is portrayed as a fearless, hardboiled detective. PAT O'BRIEN in "AIR MAIL" at the Broadway Seldom before has such a picture been shown as "Air Mail." Universal's great classic of the fearless flyers of the government mail which is the feature attraction at the Broadway on Sunday and Monday, January 8, 9. The real gripping spectacular story of the intrepid pilots who daily defy death and danger so that the "mail goes through" marks the first time these unsung heroes have had their romantic, adventous lives brought to the screen. Full of thrills, roaring with action, unbelievably exciting with some of the greatest air camera shots ever made—that's "Air Mail." It is a story of a flying skipper who laughed at tailspins until Cupid cracked him up. The saga of men who lived for the moment with death reaching for the rudder. Pat O'Brien as the devil-may-care hedge-popper, Ralph Bellamy as the self-sacrificing airport chief, Russell Hortona as the disillusioned veteran. Slim Summerville dishing out "greaseball" philosophy, lovely Gloria Stuart, seductive Lillian Bond, and other favorites appear in this film. MILLS BROTHERS DON REDMOND AT HOWARD When the doors of the Howard Theatre open on Saturday, January 7, the public will have the privilege of seeing for the first time in one show the two greatest radio attractions, the Mills Brothers and Don Redmon and his orchestra. This combination has gained nation-wide fame in their broadcasting over the Columbia Network twice weekly, and the people of Washington, who for many months have listened to this great combination over the air, will appreciate their personal appearance. This presentation will be known as the Revue of Stars, and will also bring you the sepia Bing Crosby, Harold Lattimore, who travels with the Redmon Orchestra as vocalist. Then there are the Beau Brummells of dancers, Peter, Peaches and Duke, together with fifty others to complete this most unusual bill. The screen offers a new R.K.O. picture, "The Sport Parade," starring Joel McCrea and Marion Marsh, a heart-tugging thrill drama that exposes the racket. His money was down on himself to lose; her heart on him to win. You must see the sport racket turned inside out. Three midnight shows, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, will be given. BILL POWELL AND KAY FRANCIS AT THE RAPHAEL BILL POWELL AND KAY FRANCIS AT THE RAPHAEL Among famous and popular motion picture teams, William Powell and Kay Francis, stars of the Warner Bros. production, "One Way Passage", which is soon to open at the Raphael Theatre, enjoy the record of playing together longer than any other stellar combination composed of members of opposite sexes. The outstanding ones in the past have been comedy teams, usually of the same sex, like Beery and Hatton, Dressler and Moran, Wheeler and Woolsey, Murray and Sidney, McLaglen and Lowe. Most of them have run the course of their popularity in a season, or little more. Romantic alliances between a man and a woman on the screen have been relatively short-lived. A few pictures and the appetite of the public for the combination is dulled if not iaded. Not so the Powell-Francis alliance. It is well into its fourth year, although there was an interval when the team was dissolved and each star—both had attained that eminence by then—went his separate way. The artistic "divorce" proved to be a wise move. If there had been any doubt as to whether the theatre-goers had grown tired of Powell-Francis pictures, that doubt was set at rest by the persistent queries that began to flow in from all quarters, asking for a reunion of the two personalities, especially after both were signed by Warner Bros. With both stars under their banner, Warner Bros. decided that the time was ripe for the teaming of these two stars. "Jewel Robbery" was the first picture in which they appeared together after a screen separation of more than a year. The enthusiastic reception accorded Powell and Francis in this delightful romantic satire, determined the studio to follow it with a second co-starring vehicle. "One Way Passage" with its extraordinary romance, seemed the ideal vehicle for the combined talents of William Powell and Kay Francis. A single reading of the story brought a delightful affirmative from both stars. Powell enjoys nothing better than playing in a picture with Kay Francis, and Kay heartily reciprocates the sentiment. The record already made by "One Way Passage" has proved the sagacity of the Warner executives' decision. The acclaim with which a growing Powell-Francis public hailed the re-birth of the combination makes it a certainty that the coming season will see these two together in a number of attractions. Distinctly different from anything Powell and Miss Francis have ever done before, "One Way Passage" offers a drama that is far from the traveled highways of motion picture stories. With the two stars in the production are THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, JANUARY 6, 1933 on them in the third session beating them with a score of 5 to 3. But the colored boys tied them with hits, each team gaining 12. The game which was hard fought the last few innings after the Giants found what they were up against by a home run off Porter by Griffin of Firestone. The next day, Sunday, found the Giants in what was advertised as an "iron-man" stunt playing Pirone's All-Stars in the first game of a doubleheader, and the fresh El Paso team in the second.

The character of Holmes, Doyle has told us, was partly suggested by his student memories of Dr. Joseph Bell, of the Edinburgh infirmary, whose diagnostic intuitions used to startle his patients and pupils. But there is abundant evidence that the invention of the scientific detective conformed to a fundamental logic in Doyle's own temper and his keen, flexible imagination. It was not until Doyle obtained his degree of Doctor of Medicine, opened an office as an eye specialist and waited for patients that never arrived, that he began to see the possibilities of "Sherlock Holmes." Since Doyle created "Sherlock Holmes" he has had a host of imitators, and must be regarded as the literary ancestor of a large army of scientific detectives who have appeared between the covers of books as well as on the stage and screen. New Story Screened Doyle wrote the story on which "Sherlock Holmes," the new Fox picture, coming soon to the Raphael theatre with Clive Brook playing the role of the famous man hunter, is based. It was prepared for the screen by Bertram Milhauser, and William K. Howard, brilliant young director of "Transatlantic," "Scotland Yard" and "The First Year," directed it. Supporting Clive Brook is a cast that includes Miriam Jordan, beautiful young English actress, in the leading feminine role, Ernest Tor- MRS. ALMA P. MURRAY Alexandria Correspondent MRS. KATHELEN M.

DATES IN THE FIFTEEN as follows by Clifford C. Mitchell: "This book has recently been highly publicized in both the white and the colored press. Having a natural antipathy toward the word 'Nigger' in any form, I felt that the book would be very indifferently received by me, especially after reading. "To my surprise, 'Georgia Nigger' is the best book I have yet read, written by a white author, that serves as an expose of the almost unbelievable conditions under which a large proportion of our race manage to exist, not only in Georgia, but the entire Southland. "The story itself is written in the form of a novel but for its accurate portrayal of true conditions it might just as well have been written in a matter of fact form, giving names, dates and places, because the conditions, especially concerning the share-croppers, petty law-violators and chain ganges, are minutely described and in just a manner as I have observed with my own eyes while in the Southland, especially in the rural districts. "To add authoriativeness to the author's work and to anticipate any claims of exaggeration, Mr. Spivak has profusely illustrated his book with actual photographic scenes clearly describing the many inhuman methods of torture and cruelty that are yet in existence in the Southland. Despite its name, 'Georgia Nigger' will react favorably for humanity, and the race." TIFIED ROOM FOR RENT in desirable apartment. 1741 T St., n.w. Apt. 201. Apply after 5.
