Later Hoff, accompanied by his counsel, John G. Dawson, of Kinston came to New Bern and went in superior court before Judge Henry Grady, who approved bond that Mr. Dawson had arranged in Kinston.

George Murphy, assistant attorney general for the state of Michigan, informed Governor Cornstock that the Georgia authorities had no evidence on which to base an extradition request. Replying to the Georgia Governor, the Governor of Michigan said: "The Georgia request does not even charge a crime and the papers are so faultily drawn that Crawford is alleged to have escaped from the chain gang two months before he was sent to it." This is the second rebuff given the state of Georgia in the last two months. Governor Boore, of New Jersey, refused to grant Georgia the request for the extradition of Burns, who wrote "I'm a Fugitive," which focused the eyes of the nation on Georgia's inhuman chain gang treatment of its prisoners.

W. elsewhere "PHYSICIAN" WHO JUMPED BOND IS RETURNED HERE Arrested Last February; But Jumped Bond and Went to Canada The young debonair self-styled "physician" Theophilus W. Martin, who skipped bond here last March while awaiting a hearing on a charge of practicing medicine in the District of Columbia without a license, was arraigned in the police court, Monday, and will be given a trial on Wednesday, January 25th. Martin was apprehended in Montreal, Canada, Saturday, and surrendered to the authorities here. He was to have faced charges of practicing medicine without a license last March 10, but when his trial was called he was not to be found, and his $500 bond posted by M. E. Buckley, local bondsman, was forfeited. When arrested in Montreal, Martin, it is said, was serving as an interne in one of the Canadian city hospitals. The puzzling fact that Martin managed to escape the observation of the District medical board and practice here for several years was brought out in the preliminary hearing. It is said he received his medical training in a New England school. For sometime he conducted offices at Nineteenth and L Streets, Northwest, and at the time of his first arrest his office was located in the building with that of the late Dr. Chas. A. Sewell, in the 1100 block of Eighteenth Street, Northwest. Martin, it is said, was popular in local social circles, his wife being Mrs. Gladys Huff Martin, who is now a teacher at the Birney School. He created quite a furore in social circles about three years ago. when he and his wife went on an extended tour to Haiti and had their automobile, a Pierce Arrow, shipped down there for their use. Mrs. Martin left her husband on the Island and returned to take up her school work. They have not lived together since then. He returned later, minus the car. He was well-thought of as a physician and had built up a large growing practice. He made application for a whiskey permit, and his arrest followed as the result of the investigation of this application. KILLED WHEN HE REFUSES TO HEED LOAN DEMAND Charles R. Brooks, 47, 339 D Street, Southwest, who was shot during an alleged altercation with David Copeland, of the same address last December 31, died at Emergency Hospital Sunday. Copeland who gave himself up at the time of the shooting, was held for the action of the grand jury following an inquest at the District Morgue, Monday morning. Officers who investigated the shooting and witnesses testified that Copeland came to the house, went to Brooks's room and demanded a dollar. Brooks refused and ordered the man from his room. At this point it was alleged that Copeland reached under the mattress of the bed on which Brooks was lying, secured a revolver, and fired one shot. Brooks was wounded in the abdomen. Henry Clayton, in whose home the shooting occured, said he was in his bedroom when he heard the shot. He met Copeland coming (Continued on page 2) enty free baskets baskets of food besides other free prizes. Model gas range will be given on of the lucky entrance ticket.

Last year the rate was 12.1 compared with 20.2 the corresponding week this year.

Elsworth Williams, 42, of Seat Pleasant, Md., told police he was robbed of the bag containing the money while on his way to the Commercial National Bank from the Southern Maryland Trust Company, of Seat Pleasant. After his confession, the police recovered all the money in a shed of his four alleged accomplices in Seat Pleasant and arrested James Butler, 30; Rodney R. Rice, 27; Chauneyce Rice, 27; and Earl F. Goodwin, 23, all of Seat Pleasant. Specialist Threw Him The collapse of his story came when Frank S. W. Burke, chief of detectives, ordered the man taken to an eye specialist at the Naval Hospital. After an examination, Williams's eyes were found to be perfect and the specialist failed to find any foreign particles in them. Williams, who had been employed by the bank for seven years, made two trips each week to the Commercial National Bank to make deposits. Each time he came to the Capital Bank he carried approximately $5,000. The messenger was formerly paid $25 per month, but had been reduced to $15. Conflicting stories Williams admitted under grilling that he had given the money to the men after he had left the Seat Pleasant Bank, and then rode into the District on a street car and falsified the report of the robbery. He had claimed that he was temporarily blinded by some substance being thrown into his eyes. and will be given away A grand prize of the the last night to the The home economics endorsed the school rams. CAPITAL EDITION Youth Brings Friends to House After Alleged Attack by Singers INSIDE OF HOUSE IS WRECKED, IS CLAIM Mrs. Edward Williams was Entertaining Stars at Her Home The famous Mills Brothers, the four boys and a guitar, proved, Saturday night, that they can fight as well as sing when they were mobbed by a group of young men and boys while at a party in De-Priest Village. After the smoke of battle had cleared away, two of the brothers had bruised heads and bodies and Carroll Swann, Forty-eighth and Eades Streets, Deanwood, had a black eye, and possible fracture of the right arm. The Mills Brothers, who were playing at the Howard Theatre last week, were invited to the home of Mrs. Edward Williams, 5000 block of Ames Street, DePriest Village, to attend a party which was given in their honor. Denies Girl Version According to one version of the affair one of the brothers paid too much attention to a sister of Mrs. Williams. Swann came to the house and objected. During the argument a fight took place and Swann was beaten. The youth left the house and later returned with a group of his friends and a general battle royal took place. Swann, when seen Wednesday, said he had only been to the house once and that was last New Year's. He said he was passing the house last Saturday with a friend when he went in to get a drink. He stated that he was about half drunk before going into the house, but a later drink knocked him out.

Henderson in Falls Church, Va. Professor Henry Grant rendered a masterful interpretation of the part orchestral music plays in modern education. His description of the instruments and characteristic symphonic orchestra raised the capacity of the group for better music appreciation. Especially illuminating were the speaker's comments defensive of innate musical abilities of the racial group. The speaker emphasized the fact that despite the clowning in music, the tricky use of the instruments put on for the entertainment of a large section of the masses, the technique involved in use of instruments by so large a proportion of people was never greater. Orchestras like those of Ellington, Henderson, Hines, Redmond and others can render music of a most difficult type comparable with the best orchestra not balanced so well as symphony groups. He maintained that as a whole and regardless of radio and canned music, there is more interest in instrument playing and that a higher brand of popular music is existent today than in times past. His lecture certainly raised the appreciative intelligence of those assembled. Mr. DePriest Present The club was highly honored by having as its guest Congressman Oscar DePriest, who at dinner gave the members an interesting talk concerning important legislation in general and Howard University in particular. Principal Dave Houston sent a letter regretting his absence, and in characteristic vein ascribed it to the holding of the club's meeting out of the realms of the United States. Those present were: President Eugene Clark, G. C. Wilkinson, H. L. Bailey, F. E. Parks, R. I. Vaughn, H. H. Long, A. K. Savoy, C. C. Muffie, J. C. Bruce, C. M. Thomas, H. L. Grant, R. N.

PISTOL REPORT ENDS CHASE OF SUSPECTS Two Accused of Taking Man's Overcoat, Held After Pursuit PISTOL REPORT-36-14 - - - Following a short chase by police on Q Street near Fourteenth Street, Northwest, early this week, two men were arrested on charges of investigation in connection with an alleged holdup several blocks away. The pursuit terminated as one of the officers fired a shot into the air, the bullet going astray. The two arrested were Samuel Mason Coleman, 31, 808 Fourteenth Street, Northwest, and Joseph Warren, 23, 1671 Montello Avenue, Northwest. The men are alleged to have held up at the point of a pistol William Richardson, of the 1400 block of Church Street, Northwest, and robbed him of his overcoat. Richardson was walking down Q Street in company with John H. Blythe, of the 1300 block of Q Street, Northwest, who fled from the scene. Police recovered the coat, and later found a .32 caliber revolver said to have been used by the men in the holdup in a nearby backyard. Negroes Seek More Lively Life BEAUFORT, S.C. (CNS)—St. Helena Island, forming one of the largest townships in this part of the state, is fast losing its Negro population. In the past thirty years approximately 45 per cent of the population almost wholly Negro, has left the island. In 1900, the township had a total population of 8,819, which dropped to 6,487 in 1910, and 5,157 in 1920. In 1930, its total population is shown at 4,626, only 168 of whom are whites. According to Dr. Clyde Vernon Kiser, who is a research fellow on the Milbank Memorial Fund, and Richard Watson Gilder Fellow in Sociology at Columbia University, the Negro population of St. Helena Island is deserting the South Carolina Negro colony because life is too dull. Dr. Kiser finds in a study just published by the Columbia University Press that despite the absence of conditions usually believed to cause Negro migration, the population of St. Helena, almost wholly Negro, has dropped from 8,285 in 1900, to 4,458 in 1930, or about 45 per cent. "Racial, religious and political problems have played little part in the migration from St. Helena." Dr. Kiser declares. "St. Helenais do not encounter hardships because of color. They are independent land owners. There are no conditions approximately peonage, nor is there the yearly trek from farm to farm so frequently found in the cotton and tobacco tenacy areas. Although poor county schools exist, Islanders have access to Penn Normal, Industrial and Agricultural School, an institution unsurpassed by any of its kind in the country." The Penn school, located at Frogmon, in Beaufort County, is a nonsectarian school with about 200 students. Miss R. B. Cooley is principal.

Davis of Howard Faculty Addresses Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity At the initial forum of the Alpha chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity held Sunday afternoon, at the Sigma shrine, Dean E. P. Davis, of Howard University, gave an interesting and timely address on "The Cultural Aspects of the College Students of Today." Dean Davis brought out some timely facts and observations concerning the present day students in relation to their general trend and cultural attitudes. "College students of today," he said," are not as serious minded as they should be. Many overlook the cultural and educational interests of today for the frivolous and modern society interests and happenings. "College students should make good use of their time and finance by adding to their libraries books of interest and educational value, instead of spending for dances and social events. "During these days, with radios, motion pictures, newspapers and books available, a person can increase his culture and education to a high degree," the dean concluded. After the address, an interesting discussion followed, and many questions of interest were asked and answered. Tuesday, the Alpha chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity entertained the members of the quartet of the Bennett College for Women, Greensboro, N.C. After a brief introduction of the quartet, they rendered two selections, including "Trees." The evening was spent playing bridge and dancing. The quartet is composed of Misses Madie Gamble, Lima, Ohio; Nannie Wright and Jessie Dickson, of Greensboro. Miss Carrie Robinson, of Greensboro, is accompanist. Baltimore Schools are Being Severely Trimmed BALTIMORE, Md. — Teachers and employees of the public school system are being laid off but the complete list of those who are to be dropped will not be known until the regular board meeting on January 26. Among the positions that it is expected will be discontinued are the visiting teachers, athletic instructors in the elementary schools, home economics teachers, nurses, bath attendants, manual training instructors, and some of the clerks. Two of the latter, Mrs. Lethia Matthews and Mrs. Ethel Philips have already been notified that their positions are discontinued. Several bath attendants have also been notified. The kindergarten establishment and the evening schools are slated for drastic cuts if not entire elimination. It has been definitely decided that there will be no night schools next session. During this year's session the teachers and employees have accepted a voluntary reduction of about ten per cent in pay. NEWARK, N.J.—(CNS)—Judge Nicholas Albano of the city police court listened to the Burial Aid Society sing as he pondered over the testimony and disputed question of whether Mrs. Laura Shackleford, the founder of the organization could discharge James Barber, the financial secretary of the order. One hundred members of the Burial Aid Society of Benevolence, a Negro organization founded by Mrs. Laura Shackleford, eighty years old, sang a lullaby in honor of Judge Nicholas Albano in his court one night last week, as his honor sought to ease a sore spot in the society. Mrs. Shackleford told James Barber, the financial secretary that he was fired. Barber said he could not be fired. The case came to the judge. Judge Albano suggested a vote of paid-up members. This favored Barber. At the judge's suggestion Barber took his vindication "in a big way" and resigned. Then the chorus; clad in purple and white sashes, sang again, Mrs. Shackleford offered a prayer of thanks and the society left the court seemingly well pleased with the turn of affairs. DU BOIS GUEST PROFESSOR AT ATLANTA UNIV. During the second semester, beginning January 26, Atlanta University will have on its faculty as a guest professor, W. E. B. DuBois, according to announcement by President John Hope. Dr. DuBois is a graduate of Fisk University and of Harvard University. From the latter institution he received the degrees of A.B. A.M., and Ph.D. He also studied at the University of Berlin. For fourteen years (1896-1910) he was professor of economics and history at Atlanta University, and during this time edited a series of twenty studies of the Negro. These studies, known as the "Atlanta University Studies of Negro Problems", are still a source of valuable information to students and social investigators. Since 1919 Dr. DuBois has been the director of publications of the National Association of Colored people and the editor of the monthly magazine, The Crisis. Doctor DuBois has obtained a leave of absence to serve at Atlanta University for approximately five months, but will even during this period have oversight of The Crisis. Bottle Used in Altercation During an altercation at 1237 Seventh Street, Northwest, Herman Leeper, of the above address, was cut over the head when struck with a bottle by an unknown man. After treatment at Freedmen's Hospital he was discharged. Fire Caused by Overheated Stove, Does Slight Damage An overheated stove was said to have started the blaze which caused slight damage at the home of Erma Okie, 1527 Eighth Street, Northwest, early this week. WRONG MAN CREDITED (Continued from page 1) passed a resolution to ask Superintendent of Schools Frank W. Ballou to arrange a testimonial for the alleged originator of the proposal. The resolution, suggested by Representative Patman of Texas, named John J. Noonan, white, retired business man, of 3154 Highland Place, Northwest, as the originator of the act which, incidentally, was guaranteed to public school students Monday with the signing of the street car merger bill by President Hoover. Local Teacher Originator The real originator of the reduced carfare idea for school children is a man who devoted ten years of his life to the movement, John C. Wright, teacher at Cardozo Business High School. As early as 1920, Mr. Wright, then an instructor at Dunbar High School, began the movement. Though he failed to admit that he was the originator of the idea, Mr. Noonan wrote to the committee requesting that the resolution be rescinded. He gave his reasons for this action as follows: "First, I feel it was a duty for any one knowing the deplorable conditions among children of the District to have done what they could to alleviate them and that no one is entitled to credit for such effort. "Secondly, I feel that due to the depression and the need of bending all efforts to help better conditions that it would be unwise to spend any money for the purpose mentioned. I would prefer it should go toward providing food for children who are going to school without breakfast or without money to provide lunch." Mr. Noonan is well aware of the fact that Mr. Wright is the originator of the proposal as the following communication sent by Mr. Noonan to Mr. Wright clearly shows: March 6, 1930 Mr. J. C. Wright 514 T Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Wright: I have heard several times of the hard work which you did in connection with reduced fares for the school children. You helped plant the seed. Frankly I am going to try to put, over free fares at least for those deserving and entitled to same. I want to thank you and to tell you I appreciate the copy of the hearings before the Sub-Committee in 1926 which you sent me. Again congratulating you on your efforts, I remain, Mr. Wright originated the idea, gathered material and made a formal appeal to the government, to the traction companies and to civic organizations. His efforts back to August, 1920, when a formal appeal for the reduced fare was submitted to the Public Utilities Commission, the Board of Education, the District Commissioners, the Board of Trade, the Chamber of Commerce, 64 Citizens' Associations, the Federation of Citizens' Associations, the Capital Traction Company, 64 Washington Railway and Electric Company and the daily workers. Washington Railway and Electric Company and the daily papers. One of the daily papers at that time stated in an editorial, "There is ground for sympathetic consideration of this plea." Attesting the fact that Mr. Wright was the pioneer in the movement which was put before the school board and the public in 1920—but was the result of work and research begun long before—is the following letter, dated August 20, 1920, from Abram Simon, then president of the board of education: Board Records Attest Excerpts taken from the records of the Board of Education in 1931 give Mr. Wright credit for being originator of the bill. The record follows: Board of Education of the August 20, 1920. Mr. J. C. Wright, 514 T Street. My dear Mr. Wright: Your proposition looking to a reduction in the car fare for school children impresses me as having practical merit and ought to be presented, backed by a strong public sentiment, to the constituted authorities. I can only speak now on this question in a personal capacity, but I am desirous of presenting your communication to the board of education at its early September meeting for their official consideration and action. With personal greetings, (Signed) ABRAM SIMON. On November 15, 1920, he filed a printed petition with Congress through the chairman of the House and Senate Committees on the District of Columbia. Early in January, 1921, he filed an amended printed petition with the committees, and April 1, 1921, supplemented the amended petition. In 1922, he resigned his position as an instructor in Dunbar High School to give more time to the work. Mr. Wright appeared in person at "Hearing on Five Cent Fare Bill" held in January, 1926, and "Senate Hearings on Reduced Fares for School Children" held in December, 1930. Congressional record of his appearances are contained in H. R. 3805, Sixty-ninth Congress, First Session, pages 140-149, inclusive; and H. R. 12571, Seventy-first Congress, Third Session, pages 49-56, inclusive, respectively. The bill was passed by Congress and signed by President Hoover in 1930. From Minutes of the Board of Education March 4, 1931. Reduced Street Car Fares for Fuquila and the Contribution Threats by Mr. J. C. Wright Official notice was taken by the Board of Education of the fact that the Commission by Congress providing for transportation of the school children of Washington at reduced cost, and due credit was accorded to Mr. J. C. Wright for his initiation of the movement that culminated in the signing of the Constitution. Mr. Wright was not only the acknowledged pioneer in the movement, but was as well a persistent advocate in the cause for a period of some ten years. The fact that he was a pioneer in the movement President had signed it was formally brought to the attention of the board in letters from Mr. Wright addressed to the acting president and to the secretary of the board. There were also filled some newspaper clippings relevant to the subject from the Evening Star and the Washington Post, from the latter issue of February 28, 1831, reading as follows: "Mr. J. C. Wright, a teacher at the Cardozo High School, credited with having originated the plan for 3-cent car fares for Washington school children, yesterday was presented with the pen which President Hower signed the bill." At this session of the board, the superintendent of schools also presented for the record a statement of appreciation of Mr. Wilkinson, prepared by Mr. Wilkinson. It was or ordered given a permanent place in the minutes of this meeting and follows: "It is with much satisfaction that I present the following memorandum from Wright Fri. of the University of Wilkinson, under date of March 8, 1931, relating to the efforts of Mr. J. C. Wright, a teacher of the Cardozo High School, in bringing about the anomalies in the school, including reduced fare for school children. "Memorandum for Dr. F. W. Bailou: "This office is very anxious that the superintendent of schools and the Board of Education know that Mr. J. C. Wright, a teacher of the Cardozo High School, contributed largely of his time and energy toward securing enactment of H. R. 12571, An Act to provide for the transportation of school children in the District of Columbia." "For a period of at least ten years Mr. Wright has persisted in his efforts at securing this legislation. In December 2012, the Lawrence Richey, secretary to the President, has sent Mr. Wright 'one of the pens used by the President today' to the office. "This office wishes to commend very heartily the A&E service rendered by Mr. J. C. Wright in this work," Richey said, "that the superintendent of schools will permit this memorandum to be placed on file as a part of the mind of the Board of Education at the meeting held on Wednesday, March 4, 2011. STOP! See Page 16 IMPORTANT NEWS! BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL THE CHESAPEAKE AND POTOMAC TELEPHONE COMPANY 723 113 8000 (Beh System) First Asst. Supt. of Schools." A like complimentary reference to Mr. Wright, with congratulations to the Board was offered by the Federation of Civic associations, which received through the office of Mr. Wilkinson, and was like-wise ordered on record. "To the Board of Education "I am directed, by vote of the Federation of Civic Associations at its regular meeting February 27, 1931, to extend the congratulations of the Association to the school administration upon the enactment of legislation by the State Legislature, and to fare to school children in the District of Columbia, and to especially commend to your favorable notice Mr. James C. Wright, a teacher in our public school, who initiated this movement through our school channels more than 10 years ago. "Seventeen citizens" associations were represented at the February 27 meeting, and the vote on this measure was withdrawn on the committee on Education of the Federation of Civic Associations—was unanimous. "Respectfully, (Signed) WOOLSEY W. HALL, Corresponding Secretary." Committee Duly Informed Seven days before the House District Committee proposed the testimonial for Mr. Noonan, Mr. Wright, himself, advised Representative Norton of his work in connection with the reduced fare. The communication follows: January 5, 1933 Honorable Mary I. Norton Chairman, District of Columbia Committee House of Representatives Washington, D. C. Mudan, M. Norton On behalf of the school children of Washington and their struggling parents, I thank you for your very able defense of REDUCED CAR FARE for school children riding to and from school on the street railways and buses operating within the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia compulsory education law requiring regular attendance of children in school makes serious inroads in the meager income of many families. The child labor law restricting gainful occupation of children under 18 years of age reduces whatever supplemental income a large number of families would otherwise enjoy. And the prevailing unemployment abounding everywhere further aggravates normal demands on the small family budget. Therefore your splendid work for retention of the 3-CENT CAR FARE provision in the Street Railway Merger Bill, now pending in Congress has won wide-spread commendation, and caused legions of worthy citizens to happily claim you as a loyal friend of Washington school children. You may be interested to know that I originated REDUCED CAR FARE for Washington school children in August, 1920, and sponsored the movement throughout the succeeding years as the following records will attest: Please see Hearings on Five Cent Fare Bill held in January, 1926, on H. R. 3805, Sixty-ninth Congress, First Session, pp 140-149, inclusive; and Senate Hearings on Reduced Car Fares for school children held in December, 1930, on H. R. 12571, Seventy-first Congress, Third Session, pp. 49-46, inclusive. With grateful thanks and appreciation for your sympathetic interest in the welfare of the school children of the District of Columbia, I have the honor to remain. Very respectfully, (Signed) J. C.

Mrs. Wood stated the men came into her room and demanded that Miss Pearsol pull off a coat she was A woman in a dress is arranging flowers on a table. wearing. She did so and fled from the room. Without warning Briscoe opened fire on Moore, who has come into the house with Miss Pearson. Mrs. Wood said her husband was shot when he attempted to wrest the gun from Briscoe. Two Pistols Found Johnson stated that he came to the premises with Briscoe with the intention of getting a coat Briscoe had bought for the girl. Police located an automatic revolver which Briscoe admitted was his, hidden behind a column under the K Street Bridge. Another revolver which Johnson said he took from Briscoe was found in the same place with a box of cartridges.

On reaching the street he noticed one of the Mills Brothers placing something on his hand which he identified as a pair of brass knuckles. House Wrecked Swann then said he realized that he was in for a fight and struck the oldest of the famous youths. The blow was a signal for all to jump on him and give him a good beating. On leaving he went to the homes of some friends who accompanied him back to the house and whipped "everything in sight." The inside of the home was almost completely wrecked. The boy exhibited a black and swollen eye and a bruised arm which he said had been hurt when one of the Mills brothers had kicked him. He said he was struck in the eye with the brass knuckles. An effort to reach Mrs. Williams was unsuccessful, but she is employed in the office of the registrar at Howard University. Swann denied he was a friend of Mrs. Williams's sister and claimed he did not know the girl. was unsuccessful. Swann denied he was a friend of Mrs. Williams's sister and claimed he did not know the girl. Relatives of the settlement said that none of the participants were members of the DePriest Village colony. Sing as Usual No arrests were made and the Mills brothers left here and sang over the radio as usual Monday night from New York. The fight did not seem to impair their voices and they were unusually well received during the broadcast. Friends of Swann who were present during the conversation with The Tribune reporter admitted that they went to the house with the intention of beating the Mills brothers. Some said women were struck during the battle. KILLED WHEN HE REFUSED (Continued from page 1) from Brooks's room and claimed Copeland threatened to shoot him. He said he grappled with the man and wrested the pistol from his hand. Clayton said Copeland on losing possession of the weapon ran from the house. Officer David G. Matthews, of No. 4 Precinct, testified that Copeland stopped him on the street and stated that he had just shot a man. Policeman Matthews said the man appeared dazed and did not know whom he had shot or where the shooting had taken place. The officer said he put the man in a patrol and took him to the station house. Later he learned that Brooks had been shot at the D Street address. Said Man Demanded Money Before dying Brooks told police that Copeland shot him when he refused to give the man a sum of money. Brooks said he was lying across a bed in his room when Copeland came in and demanded a dollar. When refused and told to leave the room, Brooks said Copeland reached under the mattress, secured the revolver and without warning fired. Witnesses to testify at the inquest were Mrs. Lillian Clayton, wife of Henry Clayton; Grafton Baker, 1009 Lincoln Place; Policemen Sidney F. Malone and George M. Wilson, of No. 4.

HIGH ACADEMIC STANDARD SET AT HOWARD HIGH ACADEMIC STANDARD SET AT HOWARD More Than 100 Applicants Refused; 125 Rejected by Professional Schools Howard University is maintaining its high academic standards in spite of the depression with a resulting decrease in student enrollment, according to the annual report of the United States Department of the Interior, made public this week through the Office of Education of the department. From July 1 to October 1, 1931, the academic colleges refused admission to 102 applicants. Of these, 87 were refused admission to the freshman class, 78 because of lack of high school units, 1 because the high school from which the student came was not accredited, 7 because they were not high school graduates, and 1 because his high school diploma was being withheld for some unknown reason. Of the students applying to enter with advanced standing, 15 were rejected: 1 because of low scholarship, 13 because they were dropped from other institutions for poor scholarship, and 1 because of the indebtedness to the school from which he came. Probation Plan In the professional schools, 125 were denied admission. Of these, 91 were rejected by the college of medicine, 10 by the college of dentistry, 7 by the college of pharmacy, and 7 by the school of law. A high standard of scholarship is maintained by means of probation and dismissal regulations. The report says: "Any student who calls to earn a total of one grade point during any quarter shall incur probation at the end of that quarter. If he does not remove his first probation by making an average higher than 'C' he will be dropped at the end of the next quarter in which he fails to earn a total of one grade point." Students on probation cannot represent the university in any capacity while probation is in force. Should the probation not be removed in the succeeding quarter, the student is dropped and is not privileged to re-enter for a period of one year and that probation is removed to study elsewhere. May Not Re-enter Upon return, if the student fails to make an average of "C" in the first quarter, he is permanently dropped from the university, and not making a grade of "C" or above, after the first quarter, he forfeits the right to represent the university in any capacity, including athletics, debates, dramatics, or otherwise during the remainder of his college career. Should he be dropped the second time, he is not privileged to re-enter the university. The number of students on probation for the regular school year is shown as follows: autumn quarter, 1931, 166 on probation, of whom 30 were dropped; winter quarter, 1932, 175 on probation, of whom 35 were dropped; spring quarter, 1932, 119 on probation and 15 dropped. Ninety-two students withdrew from the academic colleges during 1931-32. Of these 22 left because of illness, 32 for voluntary reasons, 12 because of discipline, 6 because of financial reasons, and 20 whose registration was cancelled. Sixty-two students withdrew from the professional schools during the same period. Of these, 14 withdrew because of poor scholarship, 8 because of financial difficulties, 5 because of personal illness, 9 for voluntary reasons, and 25 whose reasons were unknown. During the school year 1931-32, 38 students were re-admitted to the university. Of these 38 students, 18 made averages less than "C", thereby making it necessary for them to be dropped permanently from the rolls of the institution. Peacemaker Cut While Separating Fighters Robert Scott, 34, 1129 Twentish Street, was stabbed in the left hide by Arthur, Schooler, 42, 2112 Wards Place, Northwest, during an altercation in front of the former address last Thursday. Schooler was also cut about the neck and throat by Scott. James Gaskins, 30, who attempted to play the role of peacemaker, was also cut while trying to separate the two combatants. All were treated at Emergency Hospital. Scott was held for investigation. Schooler is in Gallinger Hospital in an underturned condition while Gaskins was released. ROOSEVELT MAY BE LAST PRESIDENT SWORN IN MARCH 4 The time consumed in travel when the United States government was established was responsible for the interval which was allowed to elapse between election day and the inauguration, but it was pure chance which caused March fourth to be selected as the date for the quadrennial change in administrations. President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt in all probability will be the last chief executive to be sworn in on the day fixed by the Continental Congress now that the lame duck amendment to the Constitution is so near its final adoption. Not all of our Presidents, however, have taken the oath on the day promulgated by the Continental Congress. That body after much debate determined on September 13, 1788, that "the first Wednesday in March that" should be the time for "commencing the proceedings under the said Constitution." That first Wednesday was March 4, and although it served as a precedent from that time until 1932, it was not on that day that George Washington and three other Presidents were sworn in. First Inauguration Not March 4 The first Congress was responsible for the delay in the case of the first President. The new Congress under the present Constitution could not shake off the curse of procrastination which had plagued and bedeviled the old Continental Congress. On Wednesday, March 4, neither the Senate nor the House of Representatives could muster a quorum and so could not organize. Only thirteen members of the House answered to their names. Letters were sent to the absentee Senators and Representatives urging them to appear to attend to their official duties, and this appeal not fetching them in sufficient numbers, another letter was sent out, the two Houses meanwhile meeting and adjourning from day to day, unable to transact any business. It was not until April 1, that the House finally managed to count quorum and organize. The Senate managed to obtain a quorum on the sixth of April, more than a month after the appointed day. On the same day a joint session of the two Houses was held in the Senate chamber, when the electoral votes were opened and it was ascertained that the choice for President and Vice-President had fallen on George Washington, of Virginia, and John Adams, of Massachusetts. Washington Sworn In on April 30, 1789 Washington and Adams being formally notified, journeyed to New York, and on the balcony of Federal Hall, the former took the oath as first President of the United States on April 30, 1789, and not on March 4. The Continental Congress in selecting the first Wednesday in March believed that choice of that day would be less likely to throw the inauguration on Sunday than any other. The fourth of March occurred for the first time on Sunday in 1821, and Monroe was inaugurated in the old hall of the House of Representatives, on Monday, March 5. The appointed day fell on Sunday again in 1849, and Zachary Taylor was inaugurated on the following day. In 1877 it fell on Sunday once more. The Hayes-Tilden contest had just been decided. Public sentiment was inflamed and for the only time in the history of the United States a President was sworn in prior to the fourth of March. Rutherford B. Hayes took the oath at the White House on March 3, and again publicly at the capitol on the following Monday. The last occasion on which Inauguration Day fell on Sunday was in 1917. Once more the state of affairs necessitated prompt action and Woodrow Wilson took the oath in private at the capitol on Sunday and publicly on Monday. March 4, which after this year is almost certain to be nothing more than a memorable date in past history, has fallen eight times on Saturday, if the coming ceremony is included; seven times on Monday and Tuesday, five times on Wednesday, four times on Sunday and Friday, and only three times on Tuesday.

STYLUS CLUB PLANS CHESNUTT MEMORIAL STYLUS CLUB PLANS CHESNUTT MEMORIAL Creative Group of Howard to Hold Contest for Membership The Stylus Club of Howard University, is planning for a fitting memorial to the late Charles Waddell Chesnutt, distinguished Negro writer who died last fall in Cleveland. The program committee has a plan under consideration and will report on it at an early meeting of the club. At the initial winter quarter meeting of this art-literature club, on January 11, Dwight H. Wilson was elected scribe and Miss Mary K. Wade, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Wilson appointed a program committee to begin immediate and effective work for the club during the balance of the school year. Dutton Ferguson was apprted chairman of this committee. Miss Alethia Smith, Winston Willoughby, and Dwight Wilson are members. Drastic Reorganization Planned. Under the direction of Dr. Alain LeRoy Locke and Dr. Benjamin Brawley, both of the faculty, plans for drastic reorganization of the club were put into effect. At a meeting of the programme committee held on January 12, it was decided that the 34th competition of the club for student membership would be based on a high score of averages. Creative work in poetry, short stories, essays, art, and music will be judged by faculty sponsors of the Stylus. January 24 to February 15 was the period decided upon for the competition. Plans for a play, a student art exhibit, and presentations of the creative works of the members at the regular 2nd and 4th Tuesday meetings were approved by the programme committee. Prominent Persons Members. The Stylus Club was formed at Howard University under the leadership of Dr. Alain LeRoy Locke and Professor Montgomery Gregory in 1916.

Kuyper HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—The plans for the eleventh annual Builders' Conference, to be held here, are rapidly shaping themselves, according to Harold L. Ruggles, secretary of the conference. The meetings will take place on February 13, 14, and 15. The conference was planned and has been conducted in order to permit builders to meet together to exchange ideas and to listen to talks and demonstrations by experts in the field so that the average builder can keep in touch with the progressive movements in the general field of building. The present period of readjustment is one that offers great difficulties to the builder. The conference next month will attempt to show him what steps he can take to stimulate his business and to create jobs for himself; it will show him modern improvements that are available and attempt to help him in his answer to the present demand for modern small homes at low cost. These and many other important questions will be discussed by men prominent in their fields at the series of meetings. HEROIC DEED OF INTERRACIAL GOOD WILL HELENA, Ark.—This community which in 1919 was torn by destructive race conflict due to misunderstanding and fear, was the scene a few days ago of a heroic act of inter-racial good will that deserves to be widely healed and recorded, in humanity's "book of golden deeds." In striking contrast to the tragic story of other days, in which the two races were pitted against each other in mortal combat, in this case a white school boy freely gambled his life, on the effort to save the lives of two Negroes—and won! The story, as reported in the Arkansas Gazette of January 8, is as follows: "Burke Hale, aged seventeen, a student in Helena High School, proved himself a hero Wednesday when he rescued a Negro couple from the chilly waters of Long Lake. Burke, with several other students, was on route to Helena in a school bus when V. S. Strawder and his wife, the latter a school teacher, riding in an enclosed automobile, plunged into the lake. "Young Hale, despite protests of his companions, pulled off his coat and trousers, jumped into the water, swam to the car and broke out a rear window through which he dragged the Negro couple. The automobile was almost submerged. "The youth, who is a Life Scout, attended school at Elaine and Wynne before entering Helena High School. He is a son of W. N. Hale, a tenant farmer, living six miles from Helena." Francis Junior High School Holds Red Cross Assembly Those who were present in the auditorium of the Francis Junior High School on Thursday, January 12, from two to three o'clock received definite impressions of the great service being rendered by the American Junior Red Cross. Dressed in the character uniforms of Red Cross nurses, the members of the Francis unit, sponsored by Mrs. Madge L Cuney, entered the hall singing the "Junior Red Cross Song of Service" and ascended the stage made beautiful by numerous ferns and electrically equipped red crosses which flickered throughout the period. Following the devotionals, the Red Cross pledge was repeated by the entire school. The little folks from the "Garden of Children" School, located at 1728 S Street, Northwest, Mrs. Dorothy Waring Howard, directress, introduced themselves and sang, sweetly with child-like simplicity, "Merry, Merry Sunshine." A report of the club's activities for 1931-1932, an original poem, and the history of the Junior World Song were carefully presented by Mercedes Scott, the McCain, and Janie Hedgerman, respectively, followed by the song it self. Several sections won applause for unusually large collections during the roll call. An interesting number on the progra' was a dramatic presentation of the rendering of first aid to a French, a German, a Spanish and an Italian child. These parts were taken by Virginia Moss, Edna West, Georgia Martin and Andrea Mussia, respectively, who in turn, respectively, in the native tongue, thanked the Red Cross nurses, Thelma Hill and Margaret Williams. The nurses were assisted by Daniel Neal and Charles Campbell. The presentation of fifty-six pounds of tinfoil from the club to the Home for Incurables was an inspiring moment. The gift was fittingly accepted by J. D. Kauffman, known as "Radio Joe." At this point the mistress of ceremonies, Carah Lancaster, introduced Mrs. O. W. Spivey, assistant principal of Armstrong High School, who introduced the speaker, Miss Concannon, assistant director of the National Junior Red Cross. In her fifteen-minute talk, Miss Concannon brought to the assembly not only a vivid mental picture of her enriched experienced in this field, but also real articles from Junior Red Cross Clubs throughout Europe. Imagine the applause when Miss Concannon exhibited the February issue of the Junior Red Cross News, a magazine which is sent to nearly all points of the world, containing a photograph of the Francis Red Cross Club. This was only one of the many high points of her instructive, interesting talk. Following remarks by Mrs. Mary H. Plummar, principal, and Mrs. Madge L. Cuney, sponsor, the assembly came to a close. ST. CYPRIAN INSTITUTE ELECTS The Saint Cyprian Senior Ladies' Institute elected officers for the ensuing year at its meeting last week. Those chosen were Mrs. Rosa F. Hawkins, president; Mrs. Jenie Bell, vice-president; Mrs. Amie Harris, financial secretary; Mrs. Jennie Carter, recording secretary; Mrs. Alice Logan, treasurer; and Mrs. Cora Young, sergeant-at-arms.

Marshall and R. E. Contec. A special address on this occasion was made by Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, who also presented all five-pointers with certificates of health. Brief remarks were made by E. B. Hendert, head of the physical training department of colored schools. At this assembly Lucille Ferguson, selected by the student body as their identity of Randall's student citizenship, was presented to the students as "Miss Randall." In the contest in which Miss Ferguson was selected the following traits were considered: punctuality, regularity of attendance, courtesy to teachers and pupils, cleanliness, neatness, and preparedness. The education faculty meeting for the month was held Tuesday, at which time the speakers were Miss Y. C. Maxwell, Miss E. B. Blanchi, and Mrs. L. W. Morris. The subject discussed was "Adolescent Behavior and School Spirit." The adjustment class gave a broadcast at assembly period Friday. The program was in two parts, the first being a variety program consisting of: Bible reading by Robert Humphries; selections on a jew's-harp by William Westray; selection on the harmonica by Raymond Howard; a humorous skit by James Robinson and Augustus Fierley; a vocal solo by Ernest Harris; and a horn solo by Alvin Brooks, with Eleanor Williams at the piano. The theme of the second part was "Character Building," as follows: a paper, "Character Training," Emanuel Martin; solo, "Building Daily Building," Ernest Harris. Others taking part in the program were James Nelson, Alvin Brooks, Ernest Harris, James Nelson, Robert Humphries and James Robinson. The master of ceremonies was Emanuel Martin, announcer, James Robinson. MAN FALLS IN STREET, IS CHARGED WITH DRUNKENESS Walter B. Wade, 35, 606 Twenty-third Street, Northwest, fell in the street last week at Seventeenth and L Streets, and sustained a cut over his right eye. The man was taken to Emergency Hospital, where he was found to be drunk. He was taken to No. 2 police precinct, where the charge was placed against him. Wade will attempt to remain on his feet hereafter when he imbides too freely.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles JANUARY 20, 1933 The Trustees Should Investigate Howard The deplorable conditions at Howard University have reached the point where they demand an investigation on the part of the trustees. That is, if the trustees really control the affairs of the institution. Of course, if the trustees are simply the rubber stamp of the administration, then there is no recourse for the inexcusable and demoralizing atmosphere which permeates the university. If the trustees have any interest in the success, progress and good name of Howard University, they will order an investigation by a committee of their own membership, with power to call in any and all persons who can and will give information of conditions there, assuring the faculty members their tenure of position if they will testify to the real situation of which so many are complaining. Congress calls an investigation of any condition reaching it that is demoralizing and harmful to the welfare of this nation. Cannot the trustees of Howard University call for an investigation of the lowered morale and of the conditions which are giving rumors to the public of the unwholesome state of affairs at the university? The trustees have heard of these things. Have they absorbed the spirit of their president, who says in effect that press stories and public opinion be damned? If you ask the trustees why they do not act, they will tell you that they have heard of the disrespect of the faculty and students for the president and their lack of confidence in him and even of the shattered morale of the student body and the faculty, but they have not received a single complaint from anyone who is willing to go to the bat and face the president and therefore, they have nothing to go on. The whole situation has boiled down to this: There is a terribly demoralizing state of affairs existing at Howard, the knowledge of which has reached even beyond the bounds of the District of Columbia. Deans, faculty members and even students (as shown by the editorial from the students' paper which we republished last week) are beating and belittling the administration. The morale is shot to pieces. "The Howard spirit," whatever that was in the past, is unknown there now. The alumni has lain down and declared hands off. Volumes of accusations are heard on every hand. Epithets are applied to the president. How much longer will the trustees permit this condition to exist? The Democrats and the Negro The incoming Democratic administration has made a very favorable impression upon the Negro and the outlook is propitious for better things. The word has come down from the President-elect, to give Negroes visiting Washington for the inaugural, every consideration that a visitor on this occasion should have. It has been a long time since a Negro was placed on the official inaugural committee as has G. David Houston, who is one of the twenty members of Admiral Grayson's committee. It has been quite a long time since the Negro has been given consideration in the way of an official inaugural ball. Even the Republicans left the Negro out of that consideration. President Roosevelt realizes that, although he carried the nation by a landslide, the Negro was a factor in that landslide, to the extent that several states would have been in the Hoover column but for the Negro vote. G. David Houston, a classmate of the new President at Harvard University, will be the Booker Washington of the former Roosevelt's administration. He is in a position to render the Negro an untold service and he is not unaware of his opportunity. We can readily see the advantage of having a friend at court in a Democratic administration. Mr. Houston has the highest regard for President-elect Roosevelt and reports have it that Mr. Roosevelt respects Mr. Houston. It is also reported that the incoming administration is planning due recognition to the Negro to the extent that Negroes may hold more jobs under the Democrats than they have held under the last four Republican administrations. We have always contended that Negroes should divide their votes so that whoever is in power we could be represented all the time. Was It Really "Knocking A columnist of this city, whose effusions appear in an out-of-town weekly, said in his output of last week: A local gazette boned it plenty last week. J. Finley Wilson (Elks' grand exalted ruler) sent out a request to Elks to get him powers of attorney from National Benefit policyholders. He plans forming a new mutual company and taking over the assets of the defunct company from the receivers, giving policyholders an interest. A local rag carried two editorials, one under the other, the first praising Wilson's move and the other knocking it. The statement, of course, relates to two editorials in The Tribune. Such "digs" at us would ordinarily go unnoticed as mere bits of railery, but the matter dealt with in this case is so important, and a part of the statement so misleading, that it reserves some notice. It is true that The Tribute in one editorial "commended" the "move" to mutualize the company with a view to the utilization of its remaining assets for the benefit of the policy-holders. EDITORIAL & MAGAZINE PAGE Commending the "move" did not, however, necessarily imply sanction of all the details of the plans to carry the idea into effect. The so-called "knocking" consisted of a criticism of the appointment or solicitation of a large, widely-scattered "committee," who, for the most part, have demonstrated no ability nor have any experience that would indicate fitness to take the necessary steps to unravel the tangles of the company's affairs and work out or supervise a reliable set-up on the proposed plan. Life insurance, even on the so-called mutual plan, is a highly specialized and technical business, and those who would conduct it successfully need far more equipment than good character or high fraternal or ecclesiastical rank. If such admonition and warning be "knocking," then let those who feel the blows make the most of it. At least one editor seems to think that the important and immediate thing to be done in the matter of saving or rehabilitating the National Benefit Life is see to it that "the rascals responsible for the wrecking of the company" are "uncovered" and put into jail. If Mr. Wilson's plan of mutualization is a commendable one, he would do well not to be diverted from his course to take up a useless and perhaps long-drawn-out pursuit of the blokes who stumbled and fell under the too-heavy loads that they foolishly assumed to carry. Uncle Sam should apply Florida's governor's program to his surplus supply of help and professional politicians. Cut, and cut deeply. Why cannot the local colored Y.M.C.A. cultivate such a brand of athletics that they can demand competition with white Y.M.C.A. teams? The "C" in Y.M.C.A. stands for Christian, we understand. The Fatal Doctrine of Hate "Perhaps there is nothing in this country that is harming the Negro race more than the fatal doctrine of hate which our own newspapers and so-called 'leaders' are instilling into the hearts of our people. There is no occasion for it. It makes us bitter and savage and is turning twelve millions of people who are by nature friendly and genial into a mental mass that will work eternal injury to this race if it continues..... "The Negro claims to want to follow in the footsteps of one by the name of Jesus and asks others to follow after Him. What can there be in this strange religion that preaches human love and fosters human hate? "Every man and woman in this world who thinks at all knows that there are wrongs and injustices on this earth that need to be righted, but can these be righted with hate? Need we manifest bitter dislike for every white man and woman because a few wrong some other few? Let us get some idea of perspective into these skulls of ours and stop hating and preaching hate." Lay off this Boycott Business From the San Antonio Register. Last month in New York City a prominent minister headed a group designed to boycott stores and other places of business that do not employ colored help—a "spend-wHERE-you-can-work" movement. Wide publicity was given the movement at the time, which caused many thinking Negroes dependent upon work for their sustenance, to shudder at the foolish, ill-timed suggestion. Immediately there came into the minds of most Negro newspapermen the sad story of the splendid effectual fight—but poor judgment and disastrous result that came to one of the best edited Negro papers to which this country has given birth—the Chicago Whip. This paper started to put over to some extent a public boycott on Chicago's Southside. Its fiery assaults and straightforward theoretical reasoning put a few Negroes to work—some of whom are still working. But the "hen that laid the golden egg" was strangled into oblivion and lives no more to "cackle" for the larger benefits of the group it did serve so well and might yet be serving. There is a different way to do this thing! When a man has something you want and need badly—threatening him with destruction and isolation, when he knows you have neither money, power, nor weapons and that your subsistence comes from his brother, father, cousin or racial partner—is certainly bad business and perpetrates an injustice upon thousands of innocent workers who get theirs from the pay envelope of the kinsman of the man in whose face you "wave the bloody shirt." Nations may boycott other nations and in some instances survive. Independent groups may boycott other independent groups and survive for a time. But in no instance in history has a dependent group boycotted an independent group, upon which the dependent group really subsists—gets, bread, if you please—effectively or without virtual extermination. If you don't want to buy from a man—don't do it. If your brother doesn't want to, let him not do it, but to urge publicly that all folks of your dependent group follow your example, is fatal. And if you just must extend your feelings on such matters, stay out of the press and pulp, and try the "Underground Railroad" system. The Depth of Love Why sit I here 'mid grief and fear! What it makes me dread to face the world awkward? Is it because I fain would always live, my dear! No! it is this: I love so deeply—the first I've known. What makes me cower as the felon cringe When thinking what may later be my lot? Will love cease with me and someone infringe Upon my pattern, and my name will blot? Now, should I say my love will last always I would be false—in this I shall not be; For knowing not by instinct why the days, What can I say when I put out to sea? But this I'll swear; if I don't meet with fate When I go to the other side of life; I'll never choose another for my mate Because you are my all—my soulful wife. —Duke Kameha. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. JANUARY 20, 1933 Kelly Miller Says Is N.A.A.C.P., through the Crisis, About to Shift into Low Gear? Dean Kelly Miller Sets Forth His Reasons for Believing That the Program Outlined for the Crisis Constitutes an Abandonment of Its Fundamental Principles. The January Crisis announces a list of topics to be discussed in 1933, which marks a sharp departure from the basis upon which the N.A.A.C.P. was founded and upon which it has operated more or less successfully for nearly a quarter of a century. There is indeed "need and wide-spread demand for a re-examination of what is called the Negro problem from the point of view of the middle of the 20th century." But the patrons of this organization have endowed and supported it to fight the political and civic battles of the race. Its work is not completed nor should its program be abandoned as long as race discrimination and race distinctions are fostered and upheld by law. A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. The program which the Crisis outlines for the ensuing year is indeed an engaging one. Such topics as birth, health, home occupations, education, income, government, race pride, religion, are well distributed over the sociological field. Such topical treatment by the Crisis will undoubtedly be intelligently and artistically done. RESOURCES OF THE CRISIS INADEQUATE FOR COURSE OUTLINED But the few pages, limited funds and space at the disposal of the Crisis are wholly inadequate to cover such a wide field with a satisfactory degree of thoroughness. It would exhaust all of the resources of the Crisis to conduct a survey and research for a single one of these topics so as to be of any genuine or permanent value. A few years ago the Crisis spent five thousand dollars to survey Negro education in the South. The results were of no particular or permanent value because of the utter inadequacy of means. Dr. DuBois started out as a research worker thirty-five years ago. He is well acquainted with the great expense of such enterprises. Unless he has some undisclosed endowment for this new adventure, its fate is easy to foretell. The January issue deals with the problem of birth. The correspondent merely throws off his hasty opinion, suggesting race suicide through birth control. If this is a fair sample of what is to follow, the Crisis will miss its function. Opportunity, the Bronzeman, or Abbott's Magazine might cover such topics in personal opinions and short story as well as the endowed organ of the N.A.A.C.P. THE CRISIS IS ENDOWED FOR MORE WORTH WHILE EFFORTS The Crisis is not endowed for this. It is not likely that it can hope to make a race-wide appeal beyond other competing magazines and newspapers in the field of research and survey. The N.A.A.C.P. is sending out the SOS calling upon the race to save this militant organization to fight its battle for equal rights. Let us hope that it will not be side-tracked into scientific and sociological discussions which can better be conducted under other agencies and auspices. The Bureau of Research of Fisk University is much better equipped for such work than the Crisis may reasonably hope to be, certainly in these days of depression. It is too true as the Crisis states that the situation has changed enormously during the past quarter of a century since the N.A.A.C.P. was organized. The world today is paying little heed to human rights, but rather to the new God of technocracy which has to do with the production and distribution of material goods and the many social problems that follow in its train. The white race is bored with the Negro problems. The young college-bred Negro has little time and patience with them. THE TASK OF THE N.A.A.C.P. SHOULD NOT BE ABANDONED The N.A.A.C.P. does not appeal to the imagination of the people, white or black. But it has the dynamic motive and is based upon everlasting principles. The task is not done nor should it be abandoned until the Negro race is thoroughly aroused to the doctrine of equality before and behind the law. Although all men should abandon this principle, yet should not we. The schools and colleges are now turning out Negro specialists in the several fields of scientific and sociological surveys. Let us hope that in time they will yield the race the benefit of their research and inquiry. But let the N.A.A.C.P. stick to its last. Whenever an organization gives up its vital principles to suit the more attractive and popular issues of the day, usually its best days are behind it. But let us hope that this is not to be true of the N.A.A.C.P., nor yet with its organ, the Crisis. HIGH PURPOSE, SINCERELY PURSUED, WOULD WIN SUPPORT There is a strange and unaccountable contrast between the spirit of the Crisis editorial on the inside page and that of the N.A.A.C.P. announcement on the outside cover. There we read that the N.A.A.C.P. is fighting to end the brutal exploitation of Negroes in Federal-financed projects; to get a proportionate share of jobs for Negroes in enterprises financed by federal, state, county, or city funds; to block lynching and injustice; to counteract labor organizations trying to block the Negro from working opportunity; to procure the ballot as a weapon of defense. It is upon this program that the race can be made to rally, not only as it has done hitherto, but with renewed energy and determination. But the disputed questions of birth control, social contact, recreation and religion may constitute engaging themes for the intelligencia, but can never arouse the support and enthusiasm of the masses. Extreme Ambition for Leadership Keeps Us Stationary Extreme Ambition for Leadership Keeps Us Stationary Dr. Carter Woodson Lambasts Those Who Criticise Heads of Such Institutions as Howard and Tuskegee By DR. CARTER G. WOODSON Editor of the Journal of Negro History We are taught by scientists that when man emerged from the monkey stage and left the trees to walk upright and live under shelter on land he soon learned that in his new stage of development he had to show some consideration for others. This led to a group interest limited, of course, by a consciousness of kind; but it made possible the family unit and later tribal organization. just as I did a Washington teacher who pointed out to me some years ago all the shortcomings of the colored public school system of the District of Columbia and bitterly denounced the head of it. “If the system is so corrupt as you say,” I advised, “resign from it, draw up your bill of facts to that effect, go to the public with an appeal for change, and reform it for the good of the community. If the system, however, is good enough for you to remain in it and earn your living thereby you should Man could not rise in the social and economic sphere without having some consideration for others and without working with others for the common welfare. In other words, co-operation is the key to social progress, and division is the key to decay and death. In the state of nature, some writers say, man was free and at the same time restricted. Certain rights which he had he could not always enjoy because he was unable to enforce obedience to his will. ABOLUTE POWER WAS ONCE A NECESSITY For protection, then, it was deemed wise for some one to assure absolute power or for the individual to transfer to a central authority the power which he could not easily exercise himself. Man learned, then, to give obedience to this central power in return for its protection. This became a custom; and the custom ripened into law. Law, however, it was soon discovered, broke down whenever the people lost respect for it or for its guardians. Negroes in Africa have developed this sense of co-operation. In America they have done the same in some respects as is shown in the case of the Negro church which the masses have built up, although the "talented tenth" have used the institution in keeping it divided for exploitation. In education, business, and politics, however, Negroes revert to primitive type, divide, weaken and destroy themselves. One man, referring to such militant "leaders" and the confusion into which they plunge us, said that they are terrible pests; but they have one redeeming feature in that they are self-exterminating. In this way they prevent the same ilk from going on forever, but they keep us stationary where we are. While social organization requires leadership the very idea defeats itself when it is carried to the extreme. If there must be leaders there must be followers also. In the case of our undeveloped and restricted people with few opportunities to qualify themselves for exceptional service, however, we have been unfortunately afflicted with the thought that every one who learns to read and write fairly well and to use a modern language successfully must be set up as a leader. This false idea may gradually lose ground in proportion as a much larger number than at present will equip themselves for service in the useful spheres; but today nearly all ambitious Negroes are preparing themselves for "leadership" and none equipping themselves for work in the ranks to develop the people from within Every man up, then, becomes a target for those who believe that they belong on top. For example: prior to becoming president of Howard University Mordeciel W. Johnson was regarded by most Negroes as one of the outstanding men in the United States; but as soon as he was elevated to this position and thus broke the way for a Negro in a different sphere, practically every Negro educational race leader had something to say to indicate that he or one of his dear friends is better qualified than Johnson and, therefore, should have been chosen for that post. Out of such a chaotic state of mind, therefore, have numerous troubles at that institution which have all but blocked the wheels of progress. HOWARD PROFESSOR DERIDES PRESIDENT The other day, for example, one of the professors of that institution, while talking with me, referred to the president in the most scathing and foul language that a vicious man can employ. Listening to this venting of his spleen, I wondered what contribution a man of his type can make to the building of a great university. He had had all of the degrees that an institution of learning can give but had undergone none of that development indicated by sufficient sense of honor to be above things which gentlemen cannot afford to do. I would advise men of this type just as I did a Washington teacher who pointed out to me some years ago all the shortcomings of the coloured public school system of the District of Columbia and bitterly denounced the head of it. "If the system is so corrupt as you say," I advised, "resign from it, draw up your bill of facts to that effect, go to the public with an appeal for change, and reform it for the good of the community. If the system, however, is good enough for you to remain in it and earn your living thereby you should be gentleman enough to give it your loyalty and co-operation." This, however, he had never thought of doing. He was of the opinion that he could succeed while making the system upon which he depended fail. WE HAVE LEARNING BUT LACK SENSE Unfortunately this professor is not the last of his generation. He may be duplicated in most of our institutions. In other words, we have been to school, we have memorized facts, we have learned theories, and we can apply some of them; but so many of us who have such book learning have not common sense, character, and culture. Deprived of what we think the world owes us because of taking ourselves too seriously, we become marplots in almost every group or institution in which we may be situated. If we are to get anywhere in education we must stand by men like R. R. Moton, John Hope, and Mordecai W. Johnson. The higher we push them the higher they may lift the youth. They are not perfect and have made some mistakes; but those who are lambasting them have not been awarded any diplomas for wisdom. It is easy to stand off and point out how a man in action is not doing a perfect job, when you yourself cannot do the same thing at all. If we have to lose all of our time killing off men who are actually doing things we shall forever remain in a primitive state. NEGROES RESTRAINED BY FEAR OF WHITES Some of us think that we are law-abiding when we are not. Here in this Western Hemisphere, Negroes are restrained by the fear of the white man. They are not held back by any respect they have for members of their own race. If it were not for the white man's admiration expressed for certain Negroes we would not co-operate as much as we do under the guidance of our own workers. If the white man puts the stamp of approval on one of us we begin to change our attitude. If he says this or that Negro will never do we seize upon him and destroy him. Having no respect for the fearless Oscar DPriest as a member of Congress, for example, certain unprincipled Negroes in Washington have actually organized to discredit him in his district by circulating falsehoods adapted to the purpose. If they thus deal with the only Negro member of Congress, the only medium through which we can transfer our will to the Federal Government, what would be the state of affairs in the country if all Congressmen were Negroes and one of the race were President. WE BETRAY EACH OTHER These instances are perfect cases of the Negro in action in the Western world. It is history repeating itself. If you read the accounts of Negro insurrections in the United States you will find that in almost every case they failed in the very beginning because some Negro arrayed himself in opposition and nipped the effort in the bud by disclosing all he could about the plans. In the case of education Negroes have freted, fussed, and quarreled about the sort of training they should have; and now in 1933 they do not actually have any sort of education which points the way out of their difficulties. In the religious world instead of having one church we have split up into militant factions which have resorted to sectarian bias to build up denominations rather than promote social uplift and righteousness as taught by Jesus of Nazareth. In other words, the Negro has failed to develop the social attitude which is essential to civic organization and economic progress. If the Negro cannot learn to do something for himself, certainly he cannot be able to do anything for anybody else. If he is not able to help others he must be denounced as socially unfit. In being unable to lay society under obligation to him, as Frederick Douglass said in 1852, society "will honor him only as a sojourner and a stranger." SPECIAL FEATURES DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL NO MANUSCRIPTS WANTED. One of the penalties of having achieved some national recognition as a writer or contributor, even under the severest of handicaps, is the ensuing amount of time taken up in reading the pleas from other aspiring writers from every section of the country. No writer objects to receiving correspondence. In fact, the volume of such attests to his writing popularity and gives evidence that some readers are following his words very closely. In this respect I do not differ from other writers with the exception that my limited facilities do not permit me to give the proper attention to such letters. Replying to all such communications is almost impossible, under my present circumstances, and were it not for the kindness of the Chicago Bee in allowing space to conduct a weekly personal column, "This and That," I would not be able to even acknowledge these communications. Here of late the correspondents must have assumed that I am a professional literary agent, or that I have some mysterious connection with publishing houses and any manuscripts that I might send publishers will receive immediate and favorable attention. And, believing this, apparently, the correspondents forthwith send me their WEEK-END MOSAICS By Albernon B. Jackson, M.D. By Algernon B. Jackson, M.D. PATENT MEDICINES "Oh my!" exclaimed Mrs. Black over her evening paper, "isn't that too aggravating?" "What's the matter?" demanded her husband. "Why, Doser and Co. are offering unusual bargains. Here's a chance to get a complete line of patent medicines at prices cut right in half and none of us are sick." Every time I go South I notice how completely all the drug stores in the Negro districts are stocked with patent medicines. Having just returned from the land of "Jim and Mr. Eddy" after an absence of several years, I noted the same conditions exists. This is due to the fact that Negrens are great consumers of patent medicines and are given to the vice of self-medication rather than to seeking the advice of their own competent physicians. Of course I cannot blame the stores for carrying the goods, for they are in business to sell. But we would all feel much better toward them if they occasionally advised the patent medicine buyer that he would be better off to consult a doctor. One day I stood in a drug store for about a half hour and saw two poor Negroes with evident signs of tuberculosis walk up to the counter and between coughs ask for a patent medicine for which they paid one dollar and fifty cents. Without a qualm of conscience the druggist (white) sold it to them and advised a well known salve to be rubbed into their chests. The only reason they did not buy the latter was that they did not have any money left. What they had bought for one dollar and fifty cents was not worth one penny as far as their health was concerned. The Committee on the Cost of Medical Care of the American Medical Association reports that millions of dollars are wasted annually through patent medicine and self-medication. This is tragic. It is certain that Negroes, who can least afford it, are deeply adding to this sad misspending of money. Let us think. What do you do when you find yourself unbalanced in mid-air? You obey the law of gravity of course. Although it need not be, the result of obeying this law is often injurious. You see football players fall in many different positions, and yet they are not hurt. The reason is simple; they know how to fall. When football players are tackled, they acquire a falling position. That is, they flex the arms and legs, slightly bend the body forward, and duck the head. The muscles are not held extremely taut nor are they relaxed. There should be gracefulness in a fall. Why does every one look around him when he falls? To see who is looking at him of course. He knows he has cut some awkward figure trying to regain his balance. I saw a baby fall down a flight of stairs—did I say "fall"? Well I am wrong; the baby rolled down the stairs and suffered little from the fall. In order to get hurt less when falling down stairs, acquire a ball-like form of the body and roll down. You would look better and be less injured. Falls are common. Falls from an inverted position HOW TO FALL By Miss Pauline Bush / precious literary gems, hoping that I can successfully dispose of their manuscripts. While I am in entire sympathy with the efforts of all aspiring writers, the limit of my assistance to them, under my present handicaps, is purely through the interest that I can arouse in their behalf through this nationally-read column. In all fairness, I would say that most of the manuscripts sent to me are very interesting. Whether they would be acceptable to editors, on a commercial basis, I am unable to determine. At least, they serve to further convince me that there is a wonderful opportunity for a national Negro contributor's magazine. Even some of our larger papers might find it profitable to devote an entire page or two, t. reproducing the contributions of these aspiring writers And for the benefit of these a piring writers, if they will desi from sending r.e their manuscript I promise to make public announcements, through this column, fro time to time, of any and all in viduals, publishers, or editors, w indicate a willingness to receive their manuscripts and are in a sition to make use of them. In the meantime I am make a note of the name and address each correspondent, and some after my circumstances be changed, I will make a persl reply to each communication. OUR MAIL Hear! Hear! The Editor: The exchange of correspondence between Mrs. Bruce and the lew York Herald Tribune overthe "singing darkies" incident tings forward the attitude f seemingly cultured whites and others. We are just as much to lame as are the whites for the callig of such names. No other race on earth except the American Negro sits passively by and allows self to be called all kinds of insting nicknames. Negro artists on the stage and radio sing, gleefully shout, niggers," "darkie" and "pickaniries" without batting an eye and wear approval like a bunch of sses. That insulting propaganda ong, "Underneath the Harlem Mon," makes us throw our hats away, not knowing that whites tak all this in and treat us accordingly. Colored and white newspapers and magazines use "sepia," treole," "dusky" and everything else while we sit by and "laugh and grin." If Negro theatres and dance halls would bar all insulting songs, no matter how popular among the whites; if Negro readers would boycott newspapers and magazines that use their nicknames; if we would protest any radio program that uses insulting phases about us, that sort of thing would stop and whites would have more respect for us. Eugene State, a tenant farmer of Manchester, Iowa, pays rent to his landlord every week and says he would not have any other kind of a contract. The landlord gets half the income from the livestock and a third from the poultry. He operates a 200-acre farm and milks nineteen cows without ever employing hired help, stating that he uses a tractor and a milking machine. He has been settling with his landlord every Saturday for the past fifteen years, and both are satisfied. Officers of the N.F.C.F. have advised members who are tenants and share-croppers to be slow about signing contracts for next year. They are also advised in a recent bulletin to refuse to sign contracts with landlords who have not given them a fair deal this year. This organization is finding many farms tenants can rent that are owned by good landlords and supervised by humane managers. are not as bad as they seem. (Monkeys fall from inverted positions and low heights, and are not injured.) If you can, adopt the agility of the monkey. Try to keep a sense of direction even when you lose your balance. When falling from an inverted position, duck the head and let the weight fall on the shoulders. Physical education instructors advise their pupils to land on the ball of the feet with knees flexed and apart and arms to the side when landing from jumps and apparatus exercises. While walking through the mush of melting snow, or on slippery walks, imagine you are a football player gucking a line, and if you should happen to slip, fall as a football player. When you fall, regardless from what position, acquire the falling position, that is, flexed arms and legs, body bent forward, head ducked and muscles of body neither too taunt or loose.

HAMPT'N PREPARES TO DUPLICATE INAUGURATION The Events Will Follow Closely Washington Ceremonies HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—The preparations for the duplicate inauguration of the President of the United States, on March 4, are following closely the plans for the national event in Washington. This is shown by the abandonment of the plan to bring a troop of the famous Tenth Cavalry to Hampton for the inaugural parade. Behind this lies a heartening story of good will for the Hampton project on the part of the United States War Department and a sister institution—Union University. A tentative inquiry made of army authorities as to the possibility of procuring a small military unit from some nearby military post for the school's inaugural parade, was referred, finally, by army officials to the chief of staff of the United States Army. Offered Tenth Cavalry . . . That official suggested that one troop of the well-known, and to the colored people especially, well-beloved Tenth Cavalry, be sent to Hampton from Ft. Myer, Virginia, if certain expenses of transportation, housing and sustenance were assumed by the Hampton group. Moving swiftly to see if the project could be financed without cost to Hampton Institute, Isaac Fisher, general secretary of the Hampton Institute V.M.C.A., who is arranging the details of this ceremony, uncovered another striking evidence of interest in the program, and of good will. The army authorities specified that the soldiers, if used, should be quartered at night, in or near Richmond, Virginia, both on the coming and going trips. Replying to the question whether Virginia Union University would feel inalienated to have some part in help give so vivid a touch of realism to the parade; if so, whether it could quarter the soldiers in its dormitories and give them meals, if they passed through the city; and what the cost would be, President Clark replied that if the fifty troopers and their two officers passed through Richmond, coming and going, Virginia Union would feed and house them without one cent of cost to Hampton. Y.M.C.A. Fosters Exercises The inquiry was made in the name of the Y.M.C.A. of Hampton, which is sponsoring the inauguration exercises and bearing the total cost of the program. The association expected to pay Virginia Union for her assistance, but the offer was, definitely, waved aside by President Clark in a gesture of friendliness and interest: But in the meantime, President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt had let it be known that because of the financial depression, he preferred that no military units be brought to Washington at government expense. This has resulted in the decision to omit from the program the cadets from West Point and the midshipmen from Annapolis—the two most striking and colorful military and naval units taking part in the quadrennial inaugural parades. Won't Have Soldiers Keeping its promise that the exercises here shall follow, as far as possible, the lines in Washington, Hampton has decided that, much as every one desired to see a representation from the Tenth Cavalry, — a regiment deathlessly linked in memory with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and San Juan Hill—the school will follow Washington and omit bringing any military units here. So the Tenth Cavalry will not be here on March 4. To cite another item in which Washington is being followed: It is customary to provide a mounted escort of honor to precede the President-elect from the White House to the Capitol. Mr. Roosevelt has expressed his objection to a mounted escort, preferring that mortorcycles be used instead of horses. So, at Hampton, the escort will not be, mounted on horses as had already been planned. In the drama of inauguration day, certain figures stand out in hold, relief, the President-elect holding the center of the stage. These are: the President-elect; the Vice-President-elect; the retiring President; the retiring Vice-President; and the Chief Justice of the United States, who administers the oath of office to the President-elect. At Hampton these persons will be represented as follows: President-elect, C. Portfield Harris of Washington, Del. Vice-President-elect, Harry L. Terry of Crystal Springs, Miss.; President, Charles Flax of Morganton, N. C.; Vice President, George W. Lawson, of Columbia, S.C., all students. Chief Justice Hughes will be represented by a member of the faculty, the Rev. Edward E. Bradley. How Participants Selected Although the Washington program of inauguration day will be followed strictly, the selection of major participants in the exercises here is a novel departure from national procedure. Since students voting in mock elections almost never follow national lines, it is necessary to select the officials for inauguration by arbitrary process. In the case here, the Y.M.C.A. has adopted the novel plan of using in some office or other each one of the defeated candidates for the presidency in last November's mock election on the campus. President-elect Harris was chosen for the highest honor on March 4 because of his faithful years of active interest in the work of the Hampton Institute Y.M.C.A. He was the "director" of the "Students' Exposition," promoted by the association two years ago; has been a "Y" conference delegate twice, having but recently returned from the interracial conference at Atlanta; and at its last session, was chosen treasurer of the Virginia State Y.M.C.A. group. He is president of one of the leading social clubs on the campus and is quarterback on the varsity football team. The Vice President-elect is also a prominent worker in the Y.M.C.A. Charles Flax, who will represent the retiring president, is prominent in dramatic and musical circles. The leaders of the inaugural parade are being selected from the officers of the student battalion. The commandant of cadets and dean of men, Major Walter R. Brown, has been asked to serve as grand marshal of the District of Columbia. Follows Washington Program Although familiar with the traditional mode of inaugurating a President, the Washington program as it is being modified by President-elect Roosevelt is being carefully watched. Students who are to represent the joint congressional committee of three senators and three representatives have already been appointed. Less than a fortnight ago, the inaugural committee having charge of exterior matters not covered by the joint congressional committee, was announced in Washington. The formation of this committee at Hampton has already been begun. Because the inauguration of a President is so simple, although dignified in the highest degree, it is unnecessary to spend much time in rehearsals, hence, students and others taking part do not lose much time. A program will be printed in advance, indicating the part which the audience takes in all that takes place. Armstrong High School Honors Five-Pointers The physical education department of Armstrong High School had its hemi-annual health assembly, January 11, in the audifessor of anatomy in the Howard Medical School. He gave an illustrated and scientific explanation of the long adolescent period that nature provides for growing mankind. He emphasized that whereas in animal life below man, this adolescent period is short and growth is rapid, in mankind it is long in order to permit more opportunities for growth of mind and body. During this period our education should help and not hinder our physical as well as our mental progress. The purpose of this assembly was to honor with awards the "Five-Pointers," (pupils who were without the five leading defects that trouble school children). In 1929 there were o-ly 13 Five-Pointers at the first health assembly; this year there were 139 boys and girls. The physical education teachers are Miss I. M. Hall, who was mis-tress of ceremonies, M. s. E. S. Burrell, J. Q. Adams and D. Evans, Evans. The College Alumnae Scholarship Committee was in charge of the assembly of Dunbar, Cardozo and Armstrong Senior Girls held in the Armstrong Auditorium Thursday morning, January 12, for the purpose of interesting them in going to college and preparing for the annual scholarship examination. Leanna Johnson, chairman of the scholarship committee, presided. The speaker, Mrs. Sue Bailey Thurman, gave a very inspiring talk. Miss Francis Coles, a senior of Armstrong sang, "I hear you." The other members of the clubs scholarship committee are Miss Julia Brooks, Miss Juanta Howard of Dunbar, Miss Jennie Mustapha of Cardozo, Mrs. H. B. Allen and O. W. Suisse of Armstrong. Debating Club In the Armstrong High School Auditorium on Monday, January 16 during an assembly period, a debate was held in which the proposition, "Sesolved. That the Philippines should be granted immediate independence," was discussed. Those defending the affirmative were Gilbert Watson, Frances Hampton, and Alda Brock; those defending the negative were Robert Smith, Sara Thompson, and Frederick Young. The decision of the judges was unanimously in favor of the affirmative. The faculty sponsors of this project were J. B. Hunter and Miss R. E. Matthews. The girls of the graduating sections of Armstrong High School were entertained by their section teachers. Miss I. M. Hall, Miss R. E. Matthews, and Mrs. K. J. Lane, Tuesday evening. Each girl brought her escort and spent most of the time dancing. Anna Lucas one of the students, was the pianist. In the intermission, members of the class entertained, William Eckstein sang, Reuben Scarborough and Louise Terry gave a dramatic skit impersonating Burns and Allen, Francis Coles sang, and two excellent numbers were given by Miss I. M. Hall's dancing class. Dancing continued until eleven 'clock. Millionaires and Paupers Join in Religious Meeting Here Rich Englishmen and Germans Sing and Shout at Church of God of Which Elder Michaux, Radio Preacher, is Leader By GARLAND MACKEY That religion makes strange bed-fellows was vividly demonstrated Wednesday night at the Church of God, 2000 block Georgia Avenue, when a titled Englishman, a cousin of the German ambassador, a Southern white woman, Oxford boys (with the accent), a Scotch lad, a gentleman from South Africa, and Negroes shouted and sang as the radio theme song, "Happy Am I," made famous by Elder Lightfoot Michaux, leader of the church, was sung. Baptists to Hold Sunday Congress in Shreveport, La. SHREVEPORT, La.—(Special) —Religious forces representing the Sunday school, the Baptist Young People's Union and other auxiliaries of the Baptist persuasion, will hold their twenty-eighth annual Sunday School Congress in this city. The dates are June 7 to 12. This is the announcement that The Oxford group, of England, a religious organization composed of millionaires, paupers, merchants and society leaders, men, women and children, are visiting this country and at the invitation of Elder Michaux were the guests of his church. The group while here stopped at the Shoreham Hotel and left Wednesday night for Akron, Ohio. They plan to hold meetings in various cities to and from the Pacific Coast. Tell Experiences The leader is Dr. Frank D. Buchman, who founded the order. He explained that they have no church, there are no fees or dues or membership. All who wish may become one of them. At present there are no Negro members in the United States, but I am told that in South Africa Negroes have similar organizations and are counted members. Among the speakers who told their "experiences" were Sir Walter Wyndam, former king's messenger and first aviator to fly to India. Sir Wyndam told among other things, of being shipwrecked on February 14, 1896, in one of the greatest disasters in Great Britain's history. German Leader Frau Annaeliese von Carmon, cousin of the German Ambassador and society leader of her country, told of her "experiences" in "getting religion" and being a follower of the Lamb. She clapped her hands and shouted with the singing of Negro spirituals by the church choir, and in broken English said she left Germany and her select school of which she is head to come to the United States with the Oxford Group. Reggie Holme, of Oxford, a youth in his teens; Jimmie Watt, of Scotland, another youth, and Miss Marie Clarkson, a young woman, told of their happy embracing of the faith. Southern Woman Mrs. Ruth Buchanan, horse breeder and society woman of Warrenton, Va., came to the meeting in her limousine and brought her four maids and chauffeur. A Mrs. Herzog brought along eight servants. Others who are here and are connected with the group are Vice Admiral Drury-Druy-Lowe, of the British Royal Navy; Baroness Lillian Van Heecheren van Kell of Holland, and other members of famous European and American families. No Racial Prejudice The principles as explained by Dr. Buchman are the principles of the Bible. The Group is not an organization, not a sect, not even a new method. "The Group is life—that life which is hid with Christ in God," he explained. "God-guidance," and quiet hours are stressed by them. Guidance by God is the controlling factor in their daily life. Even small children are directed by this guidance, according to the group. They do not believe in discrimination and racial prejudice, but stress the fellowship of man. All expressed themselves as having had an enjoyable meeting with Elder Michaux and although it was the first time many of the fifty had been in a Negro church they were thoroughly impressed with the deeply religious and emotional service and joined in with much hand clapping and shouting of praise. Masters and Matrons Assn. Elects New Officers The Masters' and Matrons' Association held its initial meeting of the year, Sunday in the Eastern Star Room of the Masonic Temple. Alice N. Johnson, retired president, presided. Short speeches were made by Abner W. Moore, George M. Ambler, Lula U. Lewis, Howard Weyms, Frank D. McKinney, past grand master, and John C. Nalle, who spoke on the aims and aspirations of the order. The organization held its annual election of officers, with the following results: Past Matron Josephine C. Butts was elected president; Past Grand Patron Raymond J. Weir, vice-president; Grand Conductress Phyllis Byrd, secretary; Past Master Edmund M. Chaplin, assistant secretary; Past Matron Louise D. Patrick, treasurer; Past Matron Maud G. Jones, chairman of program committee; Honored Lady Ora M. Hodge, pianist, and Past Master Abner W. Moore, chaplain. Several musical selections were sung by the Masonic Glee Club, under the direction of Past Master William A. Clayton, organist and choirist. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. JANUARY 20, 1933 THE MURRAY CASINO Depression Prices For Dates Baptists to Hold Sunday Congress in Shreveport, La. SHREVEPORT, La.—(Special)—Religious forces representing the Sunday school, the Baptist Young People's Union and other auxiliaries of the Baptist persuasion, will hold their twenty-eighth annual Sunday School Congress in this city. The dates are June 7 to 12. This is the announcement that came by wire here, addressed to the Rev. E. S.

Hubby Caught in Surprise Raid Fined $30 By Judge Loris Robinson, of Deanwood, was fined $30 in Police Court last Saturday on a statutory charge. A charge of carrying a dangerous weapon was dismissed. Robinson was arrested during the Christmas holidays when his wife led police in a surprise raid of her home. She found Robinson in a compromising position with Miss Myrtle Young, 2117 Hunter Place, Southeast. The girl and Robinson were booked at No 11 Precinct station house on an adultery charge. Miss Young forfeited $25 collateral by failing to appear at a trial in Police Court. Mrs. Young stated this week that she plans to sue her husband for separate maintenance.

SECOND SECTION To Open C.M in Northwest Within Next BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL To Open C.M.A. Store in Northwest Section Within Next 4 Weeks OPENING ASSURED SPEAKER CLAIMS Charl of 100 Families Promise to Support Project, Says Local Representative Movement Outgrowth of Recent Job Campaign in Chain Stores A model Colored Merchants' Association grocery store will be opened in the Northwest section of the city within four weeks, and other stores will be established as soon as the need arises and communities show a desire to be served by these stores, according to a statement by Miss Blanche Green, New York representative of the National C.M.A. Stores, in addressing members of the Pleasant Plains Civic Association at Monroe School, Friday night. Miss Green stated that to establish a C.M.A. store it was required that 250 families subscribe to at least one share of stock in the national organization. She said 100 families had fulfilled this requirement and she was assured that the remaining 150 will have subscribed within the next few days. Following the completion of the stock subscription, the store will be opened to the public. Site Not Decided The site of the new store has not been decided on, and this will be left to be determined by local stockholders. It is customary for store managers to be sent from the New York home office, the speaker said. These managers are trained and in turn train local persons who eventually take charge of the store. The usual set up for a C.M.A. store is five persons—a manager, a meat cutter, two clerks, and a delivery boy. Miss Green said there are 26 colored grocers in Washington, each of whom is barely making a living. The cost to open a model C.M.A. store ranges from $3,000 to $5,500. It requires 100 families to support a store. Miss Green outlined the history of her organization since it was founded by Albon A. Holsey, formerly connected with Tuskegee Institute. The C.M.A. stores are connected with the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, is president, and is the only Negro business holding membership in the International Grocery Association. Spend Billion and Half on Food Miss Green said that Mr. Holsey was recently given a grant of $15,000 to make a survey of Negro business in the United States, while doing so he found that colored persons were spending $1,650,000,000 a year on food alone. She said the race is entitled to 300,000 jobs in this industry, but we get only two per cent of the positions which are our due. She said there are thirty-eight C.M.A. stores in New York and New Jersey, and the association has on foot a program to open stores in the West and Southwest. The national organization sells stock to individuals and this money draws dividends, the same as any other corporation. Flagg Offers Plan Following the address by Miss Green the Pleasant Plains Association endorsed the C.M.A. organization and appointed a committee to secure from the Better Business Bureau of Washington the standing of the C.M.A. stores in the financial world. There was some conflict during the meeting when Charles Flagg and R. B. Renrofro addressed the body and told of a similar plan they were promoting to start grocery stores in the District. Mr. Renrofro and Mr. Flagg outlined a plan whereby local groups might open stores, provided each group deposited a sum of money to establish the business. The speakers stated that their plan did not conflict with the C.M.A. plan, but gave communities the added advantage of owning the stores themselves rather than of sending money to New York as required by the C.M.A. Mr. Flagg said that he had been in communication with Mr. Holsey and the latter had endorsed his plan. His plan requires each community to subscribe to a certain amount, form their own organization, establish a store and buy products from the C.M.A. organization. He pointed out that this was done when a local merchant desired to become affiliated with the C.M.A. organization.

Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., JANUARY 20, 1933 Any Negro With $4.05 is a Millionaire, Says Dixie Judge Texas Police Magistrate Dismisses Vagrancy Charge When Man Surprises Him HOUSTON, Tex.—(ANP)—A Negro who has possession of the fabulous sum of four dollars and five cents is no "vagrant, but a millionaire," according to the verdict of Police Judge Fred Turner in the case of a man charged with vagrancy here. The police judge is alleged to have questioned the man, Jim Johnson, who appeared before him, having been arrested at a grocery store on the charge of being a vagrant—a term applied by Southern officers to Negroes who may be standing around doing nothing—especially not doing hard, laborious or menial work. The hapless victim said, "I was only standing around in a grocery store downtown and watching a baseball scoreboard when they arrested me." The judge is alleged to have asked, "How long had you been there?" To which he replied, "Only a short time—it was only the second time. I had gone there to get a bunch of grapes." The judge asked him, "Did you just walk into the store and grab the grapes?" The man answered immediately, "No sir-ree, I paid for them. I had $4.05 in my pockets when I was arrested." The police judge is alleged to have sat up erectly and said "You're free and the case is dismissed. Any Negro with $4.05 these days is a millionaire." MISS E. F. MERRITT TELLS OF LEVEE CAMP HORRORS Facts Revealed at Meeting of Local N. A. A. C. P. Branch Last Sunday Pictures of how Negro laborers are being oppressed in the levee camps along the Mississippi River where governmental flood control construction is being done, featured the mass meeting held by the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the First Baptist Church, Twenty-seventh Street and Dumbarton Avenue, Northwest, Sunday. The facts were revealed by Miss E. F. G. Merritt, president of the local branch, following communications from the New York headquarters of the association. As the result of the return to New York of Roy Wilkins, assistant secretary of the association, and George Schuyler, journalist, who spent three weeks in the camp under disguise and were later arrested, full details of terrorism in the camps will be used as a means of inducing Congress to investigate conditions along the river. Laborers Get $1.00 a Day According to the investigators, colored laborers are forced to work from 12 to 16 hours a day for $1, and then are systematically robbed of this meager sum by commissary and cook charges. Both men and women are subjected to brutal beatings by overseers, it has been pointed out. Miss Nannie Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls of Lincoln Heights, discussed at length the Mississippi River case and the unemployment situation from a national angle. The Rev. W. L. Washington, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, who was also among the speakers, urged the colored citizens to stand up for their constitutional rights. Death Sentence of Trio Upheld The conviction and death sentence of William Robinson, Chas. E.

The court found a fair trial had been given the accused in which their guilt was "conclusively established."

NEW FLASHLIGHT COMPANY ELECTS NEGRO OFFICERS Interracial Meeting Results in Selecting a Mixed Board At a meeting, held at 613 F Street, Northwest, at the offices of the Collins Flashlight Corporation of Virginia, there assembled stockholders of this one-million-dollar corporation that produces and sells the only flashlight without a battery, and it is one of the few corporations whose board of directors is mixed as to races. The following board of directors was selected: Perry W. Howard, president, attorney at law, national Republican committee man; J. Hayden Johnson, M.D., vice-president, member of the board of education; J. Finley Wilson, vice-president, grand exalted ruler of Elks; William R. Lichtenberg, secretary and general counsel, attorney at law; Capt. Louis R. Mehlinger, assistant secretary, attorney, Department of Justice; John R. Hawkins, treasurer, financial secretary, A.M.E. Church, vice-president, Industrial-Prudential Bank; George E. C. Hayes, assistant general counsel, attorney at law, law professor, Howard University; Garnet C. Wilkinson, superintendent of colored schools; C. B. Collins, inventor, chairman of board of directors. The executive offices of this corporation were moved from Virginia to Washington, but it's sales office remains in New York City. The plant of this concern will remain at Collinsville, Va., adjoining the Marshall Field's plant, which supplies and produces for their great stores in Chicago and elsewhere. Heretofore the corporation has been producing flashlights which sold for $10 but now the inventor is producing a smaller flashlight which will sell for $1. The meeting applauded to the echo of the testimonial from Rear-Admiral Byrd, who carried this flashlight for safety when flying over the South Pole and he said: "Without the assistance of this flashlight, the accomplishments of the expedition in the Antarctic would not have been possible." This flashlight and the corporation behind it, together with the fact that Negroes have been let in on it, is something notable.

TRIBUNE COOKING SCHOOL CHANGE Due to the limited space of the Casino, and the increase each night in attendance, beginning with Tuesday, January 14, children under 16 will not be admitted to classes. Re-elected White Policeman Held for the Grand Jury for Assault on Druggist VALE The caravan moves on and in its ranks a comrade, William (Bill) Evans, has started on that last journey towards the horizon and the setting sun. Would that my farewell gesture be to— Steal away, give little warn- ing, Choose thine own time; Say good night, but in some brighter clime Bid me good morning. And thus would William Evans have it. In a rather dirty and noisy side street across town the other day some poor unfortunate family was being dispossessed. Barrels of dishes, pots, pots, wash-tubs, and what not strewed the side-walk in utter confusion. Three ragged urchins danced a merry jig upon what was left of a studio couch. In the junk-filled yard a dusky upstart was plunking with one finger upon an ancient piano of the flat-top species. What looked to me like the landlord (a dark-mustached villian) came out of the house and told the plunker to scram in no uncertain terms. But the would-be pianist continued plunking until in a lusty voice began to sing "I'll be glad when you're dead, you—" YOU TELLING ME? A once-ritzy club has always been a smoldering mystery to the boulevardiers along Washington's dark Rialto. The wagging tongues of gossip have been consistent annoyances that set the street afair with first this piece of dirt and that about the ownership of the club and its policy of preferential segregation of its guests. Those au fait say that the place is operated by both white and colored racketeers. Others say that a former H. U. student has taken the joint over. Be that as it may, people say that the ultra-decorous have turned thumbs down on the place as an after dance rendezvous. Maybe like everything else, one may blame this indifferent attitude of the public on that tiresomely trite excuse, the "depression," but we think the trouble lies elsewhere. When the Mills Brothers made their first appearance at Howard Theatre early in the autumn of 1932, I was among the guests of their after-show party that was doing the rounds of Washington's so-called high spots. It was at this club that the boys were given a most unsportmanlike reception. To begin with the host (head-waiter) kept us all standing in the lobby for fully twenty minutes, after which time he grudely informed us that all the tables were reserved and insolently walked away. Miss Doris Rhubottom, who was in the party, told the ill-bred fellow that the party included the Mills Brothers. Of course after that we had the best table in the house; in fact they tried to give us the building. This is just one of the many cases of the bad business ethics of the club. Now according to reliable dope the club has reduced its help, its orchestra, and revue, and rest assured that the patronage will do likewise. Like the old wise owl, the tiers at have taken ring-side seats to watch the club take it on the chin (I doubt if it can). STRANGE STUFF Once upon a time there was in the Masonic Building a dress shop that sold gorgeous apparel for feminine adornment. Now in same shop window a display of caskets—those adornments for that last adventure into the unknown. Fifteen-cent prices at Howard Theatre again. A botique down Seventh Street where you can get a hair cut, shave for 35 cents and a facial free thrown in.

Beasley EXPECTANT MOTHER SLAPPED BY COP Two Women Tell How Policemen Sought to Flirt With Them Policeman Jeremiah J. Cullinane white, attached to the Ninth Precinct, was held for the action of the grand jury following a trial in the police court Saturday before Judge Schuldt on a charge of assaulting Dr. George W. Beasley, 241 Virginia Avenue, Southeast, with a deadly weapon, on the night of December 8. Officer Luther C. Wise, white of the same precinct, was dismissed of an assault charge during the same trial when witnesses testified that Wise did not threaten the druggist, and others failed to recognize him as the policeman with Cullinane on the night of the assault. Slapped Girl Dr. Beasley stated that he was closing his store when he noticed two men jump from an automobile and saw one slap a woman and knock her down. He said he yelled "Hey, don't do that," whereupon the men, who were later identified as policemen, approached him and demanded to know who made the remark. With Dr. Beasley at the time were Mike Brooks, 325 Virginia Avenue, and Joseph Dent, 909 Fourth Street. All testified that the two men came toward them in a threatening manner; one of them, later identified as Cullinane, had a drawn revolver in his hand. They stated that they were cursed at and made to line up against a fence. While standing in line Cullinane "rubbed a pistol" against the head of each and threatened to blow their brains out. Dr. Beasley said he was subjected to humiliating treatment and was called vile names by the officers. Brooks, who has only one arm, testified that when he dropped his hat and attempted to pick it up Cullinane struck him in the face. All of the men were made to run from the scene while the officer threatened them with a revolver. Dr. Beasley said he made an attempt to get into his car, but was forbidden and was made to run as the point of a pistol. When the policemen started over towards Dr. Beasley and the other two men, the two women escaped, but were later identified as Mrs. Virgine Toogood, an expectant mother, and her sister, Mrs. Hattie Ford, 100 block Heckman Street, Southeast. Mrs. Toogood said that as she and Mrs. Ford approached the park in that vicinity two men drove up in a car and made indecent proposals to them. She said that at the time she had stooped to tie her shoe when one of the men yelled, "Hello, babies; hello, sweethearts." Car License Noted She stated Mrs. Ford remon- stated and one of the men jumped from the machine and slapped her. After regaining her feet, Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Toogood ran from the scene as the two officers started across the street in the direction from where Dr. Beasley had spoken. Phillip, Acker, 720 L Street, Southeast, was passing at the time with a girl friend. He said he saw the man slap Mrs. Ford and later saw both officers assault Dr. Beasley. While passing he noted the number of the machine which was later found to be listed to Cullinane. Dr. Beasley reported the assault to the Ninth Precinct Commander, John Maloney, who had all of the men in the precinct to line up first in plain clothes and later in uniforms. Cullinane was identified by all the witnesses as the man who assaulted Dr. Beasley. The identification of the second officer was not complete, but it was established that Wise was the policeman with Cullinane on that night. However, witnesses were not sure of the two men struck Mrs. Ford, and the latter had not sought to bring charges against the man. Acker was positive that he recognized Wise as the man who slapped Mrs. Ford. Dr. Beasley and all of the other witnesses stated that they were sure Cullinane was under the influence of liquor as they smelled the odor of whiskey on his breath and stated that the man staggered.

"The young men and young women in college today are exceedingly fortunate," said the speaker. "They have the opportunity of studying under the world's greatest teacher, 'Old Professor Hard Times.'" "Adversity improves character, and character is essential to success in any walk of life," he said. "College men and women today are acquiring character forged under the blows of realism." President W. J. Trent, of Livingstone College, also a general officer in the church, was present and spoke to the students. Doctor J. W.

THE CLASSES and THE MASSES By J. Maurice Gates The Melody of Lower Manhattan For the past several weeks the daily press has been filled with a TO OPEN C.M.A. STORE (Continued from page 9) in the Northwest was the outgrowth of a former meeting of the Pleasant Plains Association when it was advocated that jobs be demanded of chain stores in communities where patronage was predominantly colored. Officials of these chains refused to hire colored clerks. Members of the association made a house-to-house canvas of the neighborhood and asked families to refuse to buy from these stores. The committee that had charge of this canvas said it met with 100 per cent success. The same committee will seek to have families buy from the proposed C.M.A. stores. School Wall Repaired Miss Anna V. Smith, principal of Bruce School, told the association that repairs had been made to the walls of the school. She said the walls of the new wing to the building were a constant menace to health as they were damp and wet from recent rains. The principal said that at one time two teachers in the wing were frightened during a recent rain when water started dripping to the floor and running from over the ledges. As a result of a protest to the health department the plaster was removed and the walls waterproofed. Another hard rain will determine whether this work has been successful, she said.

Hayes The so-called merit or examination system in the Federal Civil Service was fifty years old on January 16. Fifty years ago, on that day, President Arthur approved the law establishing the Civil Service Commission and placing Government workers on the merit system. The Civil Service Commission was the first independent governmental commission. Approximately eighty per cent of Federal civil workers are now under Civil Service laws. Thomas Allen Jenckes, a Rhode Island member of the House, is given credit for initiating Civil Service reform legislation. The assassination of President Garfield by a disappointed office seeker gave the movement tremendous impetus. More than 467-160 positions are now subject to competitive examinations. The writer suggests to Negro Federal employees that they familiarize themselves with the advances in the Federal employment system. These advances are: the adoption of the employees' compensation act, the retirement law, the classification act and the council of personal administration. Edward L. Scott, the energetic and conscientious president of Local No. 71, of the National Federation of Federal Employees, was a member of the reception committee at the banquet given Wednesday night at the Hamilton Hotel in honor of the executive council. May I call to the attention of some ambitious young Negro, in the Federal service, certain facts about William Henry Hunt, born in Nashville, Tenn., June 28, 1869. He was appointed to a clerkship in the American Consulate at Tamative, Madagascar, May 20, 1899; Consul, August 23, 1901; Foreign service officer of class 7, July 1, 1924; secretary in the Diplomatic service, October 9, 1930; assigned Consul and Second secretary at Monrovia, January 7, 1931. Mr. Hunt was retired December 30, 1932. He established a record for continuous service in the Consular service. WHITE POLICEMAN (Continued from page 9) said Culinanea's eyes were bloodshot and he smelled a strong odor of alcohol on the officer's breath. Court Room Cleared Before the trial of the two policemen, the court room was ordered cleared of all spectators and only those having business were permitted to remain. This was commented on by lawyers as an unusual procedure and many said that a court room was a public place. Only court attaches and witnesses and newspaper reporters and officers of the court were allowed to remain. Before the trial began the court room was crowded. Hundreds were disappointed, as it was said that startling testimony would be brought out. The judge asked Dr. Beasley to state the exact language the officers used. The vile swearing By J. Maurice Gates The Melody of Lower Manhattan For the past several weeks the daily press has been filled with accounts of the filibuster of Senator Long of Louisiana against the Glass Banking bill. These accounts as detailed as they have been are strangely silent as to the provisions of that bill and particularly mute as to section 19 of that measure. The bill as a whole is needed and is to be commended. I refer to those sections of it that have to do with the providing of regulation for interbank control and the prevention of undue diversion of funds into speculative operations. The author of the bill, Senator Carter Glass, father of the Federal Reserve System, is remarkably well versed in Federal financial legislation and probably stands without a peer where financial problems are concerned; but even he, despite his virtues, can scarcely expect the proletariat to accept the 19th section of his bill simply because he advocates it. Section 19 of the bill provides for the establishment and operation by national banking associations of new branch banks within the limits of the city, town, or village, or at any point within the state in which the association is located. It goes even further and declares that if by reason of the proximity of such an association to a state boundary line, the ordinary and usual business of such association is found to extend into an adjacent state, the Federal Reserve Board may permit the establishment of a branch or branches by such association in an adjacent state but not beyond a distance of fifty miles from the place where the parent bank is located. Persons familiar with banking with whom the writer has talked are in virtual agreement that the establishment of branch banks will have the same disastrous effect on small banks as do chain stores have on the independent merchant. Chain stores have led the monopoly, now it is suggested that the masses of workers, farmers, and small bankers and merchants submit to banking monopolies. The audacity of the move and the brazen attitude of its proponents cannot fail to amaze us. The setting up of large centralized banks would lead to oligarchic powers in the hands of an organized minority. It would give unprecedented freedom for the destruction of small banks, and lead to financial abuse, unjust concentration and dishonest manipulation. The trend should rightly be toward socialization of banking instead of concentration in the hands of the chosen few. It is claimed by its proponents that such a system would guarantee deposits. Certainly they fail to realize that one of the first banks to fail in this depression was the Bank of the United States in New York City with 50 branches, and this calamity was flowed by the collapse of the Federal National in Boston with 8 branches. Then they point to Canada as an example of the contemplated system. Here, too, the daily press fails to tell that the comparison is ridiculous. In Canada, depositors' money is limited to investment, not speculation. But here in America, to the discomfort of the masses, our big banks for the most part have become veritable gambling casinos. Then, too, the government in Canada literally guarantees deposits, while in America the masses of depositors have to take a gambler's chance on the safety of their money. The Independent Bankers' Association has written to Senator Schall asking that he fight the provisions of section 19 of the act referred to, claiming that it would virtually drive them out of business. In the face of this it would seem, that rather than find fault with Senator Long for filibustering against the measure, that the people would deplore the necessity for such action. Such action would not be necessary if it were felt that the Senate would vote in the interest of the chosen few. Throughout all this ballyhoo for centralized banks we discern the melody of lower Manhattan, or the voice of Wall Street. On December 8, in the New York Herald Tribune, Ogden Livingston Mills, "Custodian of the Defeit," singing the swan song of the "Golden Mellon Age," declared the need for branch banking. Then we hear that Thomas P. Lamont, of the House of J. Pierpont Morgan and Company is in favor of branch banks. There it is, as plain as the nose on your face. The words are furnished by Carter Glass but the melody and harmony come from the bankers on lower Manhattan Isle. Senator Glass as regards the 19th section of his bill does not even deserve the support of the members of his party for the PrsGside-elect, Mr. Roosevelt, in January, 1930, while governor of New York, said before the State Legislature that "each community must be able to control its own money within its own borders." shocked veteran police court followers. Assistant District Attorney Michael Keough represented the government, while Attorney Russell Kelley appeared for Wise and Attorney James O'Shea defended Cullinane. The latter was released under $500 bond. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL MECHANICAL AND ACADEMIC WORK COMPARED Professor Cooper's Survey Shows There's Not Much Relation GREENSBORO. N.C.-The results of a study made by Professor C. L. Cooper of A. and T. College on "The Correlation Between Mechanical Aptitudes and Achievement in Various School Subjects" were presented to the faculty and students of the college at the monthly lecture of the faculty research club. The study was an effort to find to what extent ratings of achievement in academic subjects have bearing of prognostic value upon ratings of aptitude or ability in mechanical and other practical work. In other words, to what extent may we expect boys who are excellent, mediocre, or poor in academic work to be excellent, mediocre or poor in shop work. Some of the conclusions were as follows: 1. Academic achievements or lack of such achievement has very little prosmosc value in predicting mechanical aptitude or ability. 2. High academic achievement should not be interpreted as an indication of great mechanical ability nor should inability of an individual to do well in academic work be interpreted as a sign of mechanical aptitude. 3. Mechanical aptitude and academic achievement seem to represent abilities which are independent of each other and between which correlation may be found only to the extent that the elements involved are similar in content or similar in function. 4. Too frequently a "mechanical career," is recommended to a pupil merely because he is backward in the more abstract book subjects—as a convenient way around a perplexing situation. 5. The so-called stupid child may possess marked mechanical ability but the bright child is even more likely to possess marked ability of the same sort. 6. It is therefore a precarious procedure to attempt to predict mechanical ability from a student's academic school record—especially to utilize academic failure as an indication of probable mechanical aptitude. Nor can it be concluded, as is often done, that because a boy once built a kite or repaired a broken toy he is undoubtedly destined for some sort of mechanical career, or conversely that because he failed to do so he is not destined for such a career. Other People's Shoes By Beatrice M. Murphy Everytime I get on a crowded street car and (like all humans) look around for the first empty seat, rush to rush into it, I get a queer sensation. I don't know when or how the feeling originated, but I always have the guilty sensation of doing something not quite right—something callous—of stepping into someone else's shoes. Of course, it never stops me from taking the seat, but the feeling is there. I've often wondered if life is not like that. Each one of us is on tip-toe, alert, expectant, waiting to step into someone else's shoes to fill the place held by them one also We call it a raise—a promotion. And we get a certain amount of satisfaction out of our victory—especially if we've won over someone else. We think we're good. We never step to look far enough into the future to know or understand that someone is also waiting to step into our shoes. No niche in life is left completely empty. No one is so important but that another cannot be found to step into his shoes the minute he steps out. Life never stops. It goes on and on ceaselessly—endlessly. No matter how important the position you hold, or how necessary you may seem to those around you and the world at large, everytime you lose, somebody else wins. Your shoes can be filled. Human beings—so they say—are the most wonderful creatures that God ever made. I agree. But how terribly insignificant God's greatest creation seems besides some of the other things in the universe. What a lesson in humility for man! The stars are ever constant, but like the seasons, man is here today and gone tomorrow—and never missed for more than a day at a time, because the sadness of parting is mingled with the joy of welcome. "The King is dead! Long live the King!" "Alas, he has stepped out of his sheet! Hail the new possessor!" Ever has it been thus. The old gives place to the new so swiftly, so inevitably, so naturally, that there is no time for regrets or resentment. It is a happy thing that this is so. Because it keeps one from growing arrogant and proud and conceited. It helps us keep our sense of proportion and see ourselves as we really are—fleeting visions on the stage of life. It makes for continuity and peace. Life slides from one event to another. Scene follows scene, and actor follows actor without a break. And who can tell the heart, ache or relief of the one who steps out of his shoes at the end of the act, or the joy mingled with apprehension on which the successor takes his place? Stepping into other people's shoes brings sometimes regret, sometimes triumph, sometimes a feeling of joy mingled with remorse that it had to be done, but it's life. And one of the greatest lessons we have to learn in life is how to be humble! Food for Though By Laurence J. W. Hayes MAN NO MORE THAN CORN Man is not lord of the earth and all that's in it, according to the Zuni Indians of New Mexico, so Ruth I. Bunzell, who studied the tribe, reports to the Bureau of American Ethnology. The Indians say further, that man is no more than the deer which he hunts or the corn which he grows. To the Zuni, all things are imbued with a "spiritual essence" but earth and textiles and stones and boards are "raw persons," whilst man has already been "cooked." All men are entitled to their opinions. HEALTH STANDARD IS HIGH Isn't it strange that from all sides come reports that the health of the people has not deteriorated during the period of depression. It has, in fact, attained a higher standard than heretofore. There is always someone to take the joy out of life, however. The American Medical Association (killjoy) warns that we shall pay, and pay in blood—literally. The ultimate effect of the depression upon the health of the community will make itself felt in the future. They say: "If denisty is neglected, infections, arthritis, rheumatic conditions and heart diseases, may be expected in the future. Necessary surgical operations are being postponed until the last minute, when it is often impossible to save the patient. As a result, deaths from appendicitis, cancer, gall bladder diseases and hernia will probably increase in the coming years." A pleasant prospect, eh what? PITHECANTHROPUS ERECTUS There is a prehistoric man who lived in Peking. And the anthropologists call him Sinoanthropus His advent was probably later than the Java ape man, the much-discussed Pithecanthropus erectus, or several others of the old, old fore-bears and near-forebears who might be mentioned if their names were not so forbidding. But the probability of his having been our direct progenitor—dubious honor—is much greater than in the case of his elders. MUSSOLINI AND STALIN David Lloyd George, who was 70 years old Monday, stated: "There are but two men in the world who are really grasping what is occurring today - Mussolini and Stalin. Unfortunately, they have insufficient resources." Rev. G. W. Powell AN APPRECIATION By E. B. Henderson In the passing of the Rev. George W. Powell, who for 33 years pastored the Second Baptist Church of Falls Church, Virginia, Northern Virginia has lost one of the most influential citizens it has ever had. Not since the advent of those early pioneers, numbering even the white men who for work with the colored church lost their lives at the hands of Mosby's guerillas, has a churchman meant so much in the town. Following a string of pastors since the Civil War, some good and some bad, the Rev. Mr. Powell came. From his beginning days until he passed away last week, the citizens of the town admired and respected him for his noble personal character, his fighting for civil rights, and his efforts to improve the cultural factors in the environment. From the pulpit he thundered against untoward social practices that lowered the respect of others for the group as individuals or collectively. He labored for well-appearing homes. For Manassas School, and for education throughout the county, he sought aid and rendered service. With the writer and the late Joseph B. Tinner, and at times other service workers, he spread the teachings and works of the N.A.A.C.P. On an eminence in the town of Falls Church, he caused to be erected one of the prettiest churches in Northern Virginia. From my memory of conditions following upon the heels of the Spanish-American War when Camp Alger held near the town, his influence, more than that of any other one person, has brought the living conditions in the community as near to ideal relationships as can be found in towns of similar economic standing. The Rev. Mr. Powell's personality and character combined a cheerfulness, a liberality, and a devotion to high ethical principles that few workers in any field of Prisons and Prisoners By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL We have all read the account of the prisoner in an Eastern prison who sent a touching poetic plea to his sentencing judge—and we all know the result. The judge could have arranged the prisoner's immediate release but first wanted proof that the prisoner had developed his talent to the extent that he was worthy of judicial and executive clemency. When put to the test, the prisoner could not produce anything further in the poetic line and eventally admitted that he had stolen the words from a poem he had read and converted it to his own use, hoping thereby to attract sufficient attention and consideration to obtain his freedom. The circumstances of the above case indicates that prisoners, no matter where 'located, realize the advantage of portrayi-ing an excellent showing of prison accomplishment. It also indicates that the people in the free world are willing to respond and aid any prisoners whose showing merits consideration. There is a valuable lesson taught in the Eastern prisoner's misguided attempt to plagiarize and cash in on someone else's ability. His futile efforts proved to the authorities that he was not ready for his freedom. He stole to get into prison and he stole in an attempt to get out of prison, with only himself the loser in both instances. Some time ago I read an excellent book on present-day economics, "Respectfully Submitted," by Harold G. Aron, and from it I shall offer a quotation that is quite fitting for this particular theme: "Be only that, do only that, of which you may justly be proud." No sane or rational prisoner can possibly go wrong if he lives up to the above motto. You do not need a rule book, a guardian or a censor in order to follow its teaching. No matter what line of prison endeavor you are engaged in there are many opportunities by which you can make a favorable showing and one that will stand the test. The "flash" artist may obtain the spotlight for a moment, but the very heat of the rays will melt the camouflage, leaving only the skeleton of the faker. The real artist, in prison or out, is the one who takes such pride in his work that he will not permit a single flaw, if it is within his power to make the job a work of perfection. If the workman' has this thought in mind, it matters not what the vocation, he is an artist. Recently I was watching a carpenter put a piece of moulding around a shelf. To me it seemed as though he made several unnecessary trips, and operations, just to get one particular piece to fit right. It was obvious that he could have been less painstaking and could have finished the job sooner than he did. Finally, I questioned his method and he quickly replied: "I could have finished that space with left-over pieces but that wouldn't have been a perfect job and my dad always taught me never to make a botch of any piece of carpenter work." Indeed, that carpenter is an artist, and in his work he truly lives up to the motto of doing only that for which he may justly be proud. If each artist, in his own line, maintains the same spirit, he will find it unnecessary to plagiarize the thoughts, or actions, of others, and whatever he accomplishes will withstand the acid test. "Be only that, do only that, of which you may justly be proud." C. A. CORNISH MADE CHAIR MAN OF COLUMBIA ELKS SOCIAL SESSIONS C. A.

In the pulpit he castigated the doers of social evil one moment, and forgave them their weaknesses the next with admonition to improve. His jokes relieved the depression of sorrow or sin. His depiction of suffering, his stories of Christian sacrifice for principle, his appeals for better living could almost be termed worthy of classical value. Although preaching for more than thirty years, his message was clothed in new garments each Sunday so that one never tired of hearing him. Outside of the church he was sociable. He met sinner and good man alike. Both respected and admired him. He specialized in joy. For what he understood of recreation, he was for it. He was of splendid stature, a good looking man. He was a dynamic personality. His Christianity did not savor of the grave as the hope of mm. Yet at no time during his entire ministry has there ever been a single breath of calumny levelled at him. For his example this generation and the next will be far better. Another leader of his worth will be a long time in the making. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. JANUARY 20, 1933 Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook By F. H. M. Murray I MUST LIVE Dr. Algernon Jackson in his "Week-end Mosaic" in another column of this week's issue takes a commendable whack at the all-too-common practice, among our people, in the South especially, of buying and consuming "patent medicines." He tells of seeing two sufferers from tuberculosis spending their last dollar and a half for a patent medicine that had not a penny's worth of curative value — the (white) druggist selling it to them "without a qualm" and carrying the imposition further by recommending an equally valueless "salve." Though not a physician myself, I feel quite sure that Dr. Jackson is right, so far as he goes. But another question, with it seems to me, both financial and ethical bearings, arises: Had the persons he refers to consulted the average doctor would they have gotten any more worth while advice (prescription) or any more fundamentally ethical treatment than they received from the druggist that Dr. Jackson by implication condemns? How many physicians under such circumstances would—or think they could afford to—tell such sufferers frankly that, up to the present time, no remedy has been discovered and tested by the medical profession that has any demonstrably curative effect in ailments of the sort that they appeared to be suffering from? Of course it is possible that a competent physician might relieve certain symptoms and might even give the patients advice (not medi- c-) that would, if followed, prolong their lives, but such physicians as could and would do that, and nothing more, are at least as few as the druggists whose scarcity he deplores. I am not blaming the physicians for their I-must-live attitude. Even the layman can observe that the physician who is more frank—even if he be more competent—loses much trade to his less conscientious competitor. The I-must-live attitude in both the druggist and the physician will prevail and, indeed may be condoned, so long as people generally are ignorant enough to be gulled by the unscrupulous, or so long as the average man retains the gambling instinct which induces him to take a chance—with an unproved remedy, when no demonstrated relief is in sight. The general public—and some doctors, too—need sound and scientific educational grounding. Until then, the explorer, the faker, the conscienceless will thrive, and in the meantime we must live, I suppose. SOMEBODY MUST BE "IT" A release sent out by the Capital News Service last week stated that Congressman DePriest had resign, ed the presidency of the Non-Partisan League and that Kelly Miller had been "elected" to succeed Mr. DePriest. The same release states that the league will hold a meeting in Washington March 3, which indicates that, as usual in colored organizations, somebody can do and do does the "electing" and presumably whatever else he chooses to do, for the organization. Of course, this all-puissant personage will have a few henchmen who will nod to his gestures and hence he may say "the committee" or "the board" or what-not did so and so. If anyone knows of any colored institution which is not dominated and run—so long and so far as it manages to run or crawl—by some such potentate, please let me have the name. Well, the theologs tell us that that's the way Jehovah runs his heaven, who should we not try to imitate him? Report Shows Howard Students Do Best Work in Spring Quarter Despite the handicap of "spring fever" the best work of students at Howard University is done in the spring quarter, according to the annual report of the Department of the Interior, Office of Education, just presented to Congress in accordance with the act of December 13, 1928, and released today. In twenty-eight departments of the under-graduate division for the year 1931-32, all departments show the lowest percentage of failures in the spring quater except history of fine arts, civil, mechanical and electrical engineering, philosophy, and Italian, that show no failures for any quarter. English and physical education have the lowest number of failures in the summer session with R.O.T. C. and sociology faring best in the autumn quarter. The quarter system provides an opportunity for students unable to enter school in the fall or to remain throughout the entire year in order to complete a full unit of work. According to the report, "The policy of operating four quarters each year combined with the maintenance of evening classes is affording higher educational advantages for the Negro youth that would not be available otherwise." Registration for the spring quarter of this year takes place March 22, 1993. Students interested should communicate at the earliest possible convenience with the registrar of the university. Marriage Laws and Decisions in the Dist. of Columbia Marriage Laws and Decisions in the Dist. of Columbia By J. Flipper Derricotte PART I. We have in the District of Columbia a dual system of law; that is, part of our law is statutory or code and part common or the so-called unwritten law. Our statutory laws are enacted by the Federal Congress, whereas our common or so-called unwritten laws are to be gathered from that great body of court decisions on particular cases coming up for a judicial determination in this and other jurisdictions. In theory, the common law is of universal concept, especially in English-speaking countries, existing even as social relations themselves exist. To some degree the various court decisions interpret the statutes, but to a larger degree they express the common law. Therefore, to gather or ascertain all of the law relative to marriage in the District of Columbia, one must not only look to the statutes, one must also look to the many court decisions handed down in the past years. From these two sources, we gather our law in a jurisdiction that is not governed solely by code. "Marriage" Has Dual Meaning In studying the marriage laws and decisions on the subject, one must bear in mind that the word "marriage" is capable of two distinct meanings. It may mean a civil contract between persons of opposite sex to become husband and wife, or it may mean the relationship of husband and wife, the legal status of marriage growing out of the contract. Once established, this status of marriage is a public concern different from any contract in that the parties to it cannot legally terminate or modify it by any subsequent agreement without the consent of the state expressed through its courts. The rights and obligations owing from the husband to the wife, and vice versa, are fixed by law and can only be changed by the sanction of the law; otherwise, they remain fixed until death of one of the contracting parties. Little do the marrying couples realize it, but the District of Columbia is interested in every marriage performed within its boundaries, and, to that end, one will find very definite requirements in the Code of Laws of the District of Columbia in regard to the Marriage License, the Solemization of Marriage, the Marriage Records, etc. TRIBUNE 909 TRIBUNE PATTERNS 909 4019 FITTED COSTUME SLIP PATTERN No. 909—The impulse not be over emphasized with the priline and biplines.

Title 14, Section 8, of the Code says that "No official shall perform a marriage ceremony without first receiving a license therefor addressed to him." Such a license is issued from the Clerk's Office of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and the fee is $1. Unlike a number of other jurisdictions, the District of Columbia does not require a personal appearance on the part of the candidates for a marriage license, nor does it require an advance notice to be published of an intention to get married. However, by virtue of Title 14, Section 3, certain requirements in regard to the ages of the parties marrying are set forth. Such section is as follows: "A marriage where either party is under the age of consent, sixteen years for males and fourteen for females, is illegal, and shall be void upon declaration of nullity by decree." But according to Title 24, Section 172, if there is a voluntary cohabitation after coming of legal age, the marriage become valid and binding upon the contracting parties. The clerk of the court is expressly prohibited by Title 14, Section 10, from issuing a license to marry to any male applicant under twenty-one years of age without the consent of his parent or guardian given in writing. If fraud is used in such cases, the guilty party is liable to imprisonment from one to five years. Judge James A. Cobb Addresses University Club An inspiring address by Judge James A.

(To be continued) Dawson Composer, Was Once Special Farm Student at Tuskegee Composer, Was Once Special Farm Student at Tuskegee By Roger Didier for the Associated Negro Press Two weeks ago when the Radio City Music Hall in Rockefeller Center was opened, the hearts of some of the biggest men in the United States beat faster out of the realization that a prodigious plan, called dreams by less Olympian minds, had been put in motion. There was John D. Rockefeller, Jr., with a reputed investment of two hundred millions; there was Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of directors of General Electric Company; there was David Sarnoff, chairman of the board of Radio-Keith-Orpheum corporation; there was Morlin H. Aylesworth, president of the National Broadcasting Company, and there was the inimitable S. L. Rothafel (Roxy) who breathed the breath of life into the mammoth project. All of these men, accustomed to vast undertakings were clated. They glowed in the presence of a task well done. The opening of the Radio City Music Hall represented an achievement for them "the biggest private building project in the world's history" had been launched—and they were responsible. But there were others upon whom they had laid their hands who were made happier even than they. For, as Booker Washington insisted, a man's progress toward either prosperity or happiness, must be measured from where he started to where he reached. Two hundred millions is just another such investment for a Rockefeller. The promotion of radio would seem like a pleasant side line for Owen D. Young after his experiences with European war reparations. To Aylesworth and Sarnoff, Radio City offers an opportunity to consolidate and gild their already large interests. Roxy in his new home can be happy, but even he must remember that the old Roxy cost more. Thus for these men, Rockefeller Center must be but their destination in an imaginative excursion on the high levels they had already reached. Roxy Praises Choir But when William L. Dawson, director of the school of music at Tuskegee Institute, had brought his chair of 110 voices to New York and these boys and girls had been rushed to an almost immediate hearing before the men who were making the Radio City dream come true, how must he have felt at the conclusion of the choir's singing when Roxy himself broke out in cestatic "bravos"? What must have been the feeling of Dawson when Erno Rape, general music director, stated: "Mr. Dawson, you have a classical organization. It reminds me of the Philharmonic orchestra?" Or when the concert mastar of the National Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra stated that he for the first time in his life had heard a choir attack, release and phrase like a symphony orchestra? Or when Eugene Ormandy, conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, declared on the opening night of Radio City Music Hall that to his way of thinking, the Tuskegee choir was the most outstanding attraction of the evening? Or better still, if Rockefeller, Sarnoff, Young, Aylesworth, and Roxy were feeling good, how must this Dawson have felt when he presented Leopold Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, the most famous in America, 537 pages of music, the manuscript of his, Dawson's first symphony, based on the musical forms peculiar to Negroes? So that you may understand and the record must be kept clear, let us get the picture. Dawson Born in Alabama Dawson reaches New York with his choir and the group is met as though they were visiting royalty. The first private performance of the choir sends its sponsors into ectasies. Its first public performance convulses more than 6,000 of the finest citizens of New York. It ties up the bill—the people demand more. Music masters lavish praise upon its work and upon its leader. Then Stokowski takes from Dawson's brown hands the gift of genius, the first symphony ever written by an American Negro to be considered for public performance by a celebrated orchestra. How must Dawson have felt? The founder of Tuskegee, Booker Washington, has told us that we must lay the tape where Dawson started. William Levi Dawson was born September 26, 1899, in Aniston, Alabama, close to the home of Congressman Oscar DePriest. He is the son of the late George Dawson and Eliza Dawson. He was the first of seven children and ran away from home when he was just thirteen years old—to enter Tuskegee Institute. He reached Tuskegee September 12, 1915, with just $1.50 in his pocket. "Ttukeegee has a reputation of never turning away an ambitious would-be student. Dawson's original pocket change was not even enough to pay the curance fee. But it seemed that the school had a sort of "carry-all" department for such indigent newcomers. They were put to work on the farm and classed as special agricultural students. This was a large class on which Dawson belonged and, as a ELEVEN member, he worked in every department on the school farm. He finished Tuskegee in 1921. During the seven years he was a student, it was his good fortune to travel extensively with the Tuskegee singers, the band and the orchestra. After he had been graduated from Tuskegee, he went the same year to Topeka, Kansas; to take charge of the music department at the Kansas Vocational college, a position which he held for one year, during which time he studied at Washington College in Topca. In 1922, Mr. Dawson accepted the position as director of music at the Lincoln High School in Kansas City, Mo. He remained there five years and continued his studies at the Horner Institute of Fine Arts, taking composition under the guidance of Sir Carl Bush. He received the degree of bachelor of music from Horner Institute in 1925. On the commencement program of his class, one of his compositions, "Tril in A" for the violin, piano and cello, was played by members of the Kansas City Symphony orchestra. Student of Weidig In 1926, Mr. Dawson entered the American Conservatory in Chicago, as a student of composition under Adolph Weidig and received the degree of master of music in 1927. After his graduation, he continued his studies under Weidig. For four years after his arrival in Chicago, Dawson was the first trombonist for the Chicago Civic Orchestra, which is conducted by Dr. Frederick Stock and Eric Le Lamarter. During the Century of Progress Band Conductors' Contest, sponsored by the Chicago Daily News in August, 1929, he was selected by the musicians of Chicago to assemble a band of sixty and gave one of the programs during this series. In this contest he was chosen to be one of the directors during the 1933 World Fair. While in Kansas City, he had conducted the Ebenezer Church choir and in Chicago, he led the choir at the Church of Good Shepherd. In December, 1931, Mr. Dawson accepted the invitation to organize and become director of the school of music at Tuskegee. As with most young men of our race, a lot of work has gone along with all this schooling. He has cut sand in the United States Pipe Foundry, be a bootblack, a shoe-maker's apprentice, a caterer's assistant, has milked cows, stuck hogs and spread fertilizer. In 1927, he married Miss Cornelia D. Lampton, an outstanding pianist of Chicago, who died in 1928. One of his most beautiful compositions, "Out in the Fields," was done in her memory. Although Mr. Dawson now admits that his symphony has been running through his mind ever since his childhood days in Aniston, this first symphony by a Negro composer, was largely completed in the home of the first Negro congressman, Major John R. Lynch, with whom Dawson lived in Chicago. Well, how did Dawson feel when Radio City Music Hall opened, his choir acclaimed, and his symphony accepted? Place your tape in Aniston, follow him to the shoe-maker's, the Pipe Foundry, Tuskegee's farm, and on up. As your tape unrolls try to imagine anyone, Rockefeller, Young, Roxy, any of them, that could have had a greater measure of hapiness than Dawson's when his dreams came true for himself and his race. Dawson's Opinion on Negro Music Here are some of Mr. Dawson's ideas on the development of Negro melodies: "Every melody has a message. If you don't understand it, you can't interpret the melody. That's why, for instance, they have said it was impossible to write a symphony based on the Negro folk music, which I have done. It has not been understood. Every bit of it is absolutely serious emotionally. Even songs like 'Ezekiel Saw do Wheel' or 'Got Shoes' are serious songs, never to be sung to provoke laughter. "We have found that there is but little contact with the outer world, where the creators of the folk song sing it naturally, they use a special pronunciation. They have come to an emphasis on the vowels, almost a doubling of them, and a slurring of the consonants that very nearly approaches the Italian way of song. They have come to it untaught, instinctively, but it adds enormously to the euphony of the words sung and to the emotional effect of the song." Young Man Missing Police were asked early this week to assist in the search for Robert Freely, 27, who was reported missing from his home, 61514 M Street, Northwest, since January 4. He was wearing a dark blue overcoat when he left. ATTENTION! Page 16! EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THE BIG EVENT High-Powered Semi-Pro Court Team to Represent Washington TWELVE High-Po GALAXY OF STARS ON LOCAL QUINT To Get First Test Against Aero Eagles at Temple January 26 Washington's newest representative basketball team, Conway's Super Five, will make its initial bow before the Washington public on Thursday, January 26, when the powerful Aero Eagles will be met in what promises to be an old-time blood and thunder basketball game. The local club is being sponsored by "Conway Signs," and an imposing array of talent has been brought together to sport the colors of the sign painters. Lanky Jones Leads Stars Heading the list of star players we find Lanky Jones, greatest collegiate basketball star of recent years; Eddie Davis, former triple-threat football star of Virginia Seminary and College, and a member of that invincible Seminary quint a few years back; Dennis Simpson, four-letter man at Howard University; Slim Thomas, former outstanding star of the Lichtman Theatres Five. These four brilliant court performers will be augmented by no less personages than Rap Wheatley, Cutie Brown, Jack Spencer and Pinkey Clarke, all members of the nationally famous Morgan College team, and more recently of the Baltimore Owls. Best Talent Available The management of this new club is positive that they have in this squad of eight players the best available talent in these parts. If conditions warrant it, there will be changes made in the personnel to guarantee to the local public a high-class basketball club. It will be remembered that a few of these players formerly of the Baltimore Owls played in one of the very few colored teams to hand out three defeats to the champion Renaissance quint. Even with such an imposing array of talent, the Sign Painters have a mighty tough assignment in the Aero Eagles (white semipros of Washington). In their recent game with the Renaissance club, the white boys demonstrated a powerful club, even in defeat. With Ralph Pennie, Joe Sweeney, Tubba Farrell, former Holy Cross star, Dick Streets, Moon Evans and MacMenah, of Maryland University, the white boys are a real threat. To Be Game of Thrills Predicting a victory for either team would be a guess, and being so evenly matched, the public should see a game that will thrill From start to finish. The game is of such importance that the question of a referee is still a source of much contention between the two teams, and in all probability there will have to be two officials, one colored and one white. To avoid confusion like the last big game, the manager has decided to have one admission price. Seating arrangements have been made for 500 or 600 persons. There will be a good arrangement for those who will have to stand. A capacity crowd is expected. A preliminary game will start at 8:30 o'clock sharp. Alabama State Hornets Defeat LeMoyne College MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Their fourth victory out of five starts with their conference record showing three victories and one defeat was the rating of the local Alabama State Teachers' College Hornets after their game on Thursday afternoon out at Tullibody Auditorium when they defeated the LeMoyne College outfit for the second successive day by the decisive count of 43-21.

DABNEY SMITH Western Union Telegraph Office Huntington, W.Va. NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD ST. PAUL TIGER'S TAIL TWITCHED Bluefield and Virginia State Score Victories Over Lawrenceville LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — The Tigers of St. Paul had their tails pulled twice over the week-end when Bluefield chalked up a 39 to 21 victory followed by a 39 to 30 licking at the hands of the Virginia State quint. The game with State began rather slowly, with State taking an early lead and advancing the score as high as eleven to four. Edward Alston, captain of the Tiger quintet, exhibited exceptional performances throughout the game, he seemed to be everywhere at all tims and contributed to the Tigers more than half of their total score. For the visitors Butler proved to be most untamed of them all and the result was that he was the high scorer of the game. He continued to sink them until Pree Brown, one of St. Paul's residential products, stuck on the old fellow to curb his vicious appetite for "sinkers." Bluefield Never Halted The Bluefieldians dominated the score during the entire game, inaugurating an early attack and keeping up a consistent scoring drive throughout the game, which the locals found impossible to stop. The mountaineers started early sinking long shots from the floor, with Carmichael, their six-footer, standing under the basket with the intention of making sure that the "bucket" was made and in many instances he was successful. The Blues compiled six points before the Saints scored. Williams, St. Paul guard, received the ball near his basket, a swift pass from Alston and dropped the first two for the Tigers. Following Alston and Martin sank several with the Blues sinking one and two between each of theirs. Carmichael and Horton for the visitors chalked up the score while Meadows and Woody and Banks did the feeding, and thus the combination prevailed. Others who contributed to the victory were Smith, Grey, Howard and Adams. Line-up: ST.

Jones Wins Kayo CLINTON, Iowa. — Gorilla Jones, Akron, Ohio, knocked out Young Stubley, white, of Kewanna, Ill., in the fourth round here last week. Golf Skits By HAPPY WATERS There is a marked improvement in the scoring of local players in competition. Rounds of 70 and 71 were good enough for the first sixteen during 1931, but these scores have been the dead-line in qualification rounds the past year. There are no less than eleven players under 70 in the District championship, with a play-off for the remaining places grouped with scores of 72. I dare say it will require scores of 68 or better to qualify in any tourney this year. Several of the caddies at the local clubs are good golfers, with quite a few having figured prominently in tourneys here and in other cities. In reference to caddies, Clyde Martin, employed at the Congressional Club, has developed into a fine shot-maker, having on several occasions played in company with Sandy Armour, the professional, who is a brother of the famous Tommy Armour. In the near future, if we are successful in obtaining a suitable course, this lad will show the way to many in competition. Florida has a nine-hole layout in the city of Tampa, which is considered one of the hardest courses in the South to score on. None of the holes are less than 300 yards, with the ninth a 540-yard par 5, being the longest. Par for the course is 35. The record is held by Charles Treco, who toured the links in 31 strokes. I received letters sometime ago from players at this Southern course who would like very much to engage in exhibitions with players here during 1933. LESSONS IN GOLF On the green is where many a golf match is decided and the putter is the club we rely upon. There are various stances one can employ to obtain satisfaction, so I do not suggest any in particular. Several of the good players of today employ a close stance with the weight on the heels and the left toe pointing slightly toward the hole. Learn to carry the club back with the left hand, employing the right as the club is brought in contact with the ball. In carrying the putter back, be sure to keep the head still, striking the ball with firmness. Keeping the left eye on the ball is considered a good remedy for looking up on putts. Try it. CARDOZO CLERKS SCARE DOUGLASS BALTIMORE (Special) — Although the Douglass High School basketers defeated Cardozo, of Washington, by a score of 29 to 23, the Monumental team had to put everything they had into the last few minutes of the game to head off the District Clerks. In a last minute drive the Cardozo quint came within six points of deadlocking the score. Robinson, Cardozo sharp-shooter, scored six field goals for a total of 12 points and was easily the outstanding player of the game. At the half Douglass had a two-point lead with the score at 13 to 11. At the end of the third quarter Douglass had an advantage of 24 to 17, but beginning the last stanza Cardozo went on a scoring rampage while holding Douglass to six points at the same time. Patterson, with eight points, was the star for the Baltimore quint. # CARDOZO G F P Tolson, f. 0 0 1 Byrd, f. 0 0 1 Robinson, f. 6 12 Harris, f. 0 0 1 Arcar, f. 0 0 1 Weaver, g. 1 1 8 Dyson, g. 1 1 8 Coleman, g. 1 1 8 Honey, g. 1 1 8 DOUGLASS G F P Lawson, f. 1 0 2 Yarbo, f. 1 0 2 Patterson, f. 4 0 8 Pearson, f. 0 1 1 Jacoo, f. 0 1 1 J.

PETERSPURG, Va.-The annual football banquet, honoring men who have represented the colleges on the gridion, was held in the Virginia College cafeteria, on Friday night. W. A. Rogers, chairman of the Athletic Council, was toast master. Assistant Coach James D. Barnes in the absence of former Coach H. D. Martin, who recently resigned to accept a position at Miner College in Washington, presented gold footballs to nine members of the 1932 squad, who have represented the college in four years of intercollegiate competition and hence have played their last games in the C.I.A. Coach Barnes, in presenting trophies to these men, pointed out the tremendous gap which their passing leaves in the ranks of the squad. These nine men were the chief cogs in the 1932 Orange Machine, which finished second in the season just closed. Bounds Lost The four-year men include Teddy Boyd, chosen all-C.I.A.A. end in 1932; Earl (Tubby) Bounds, three times all-C.I.A.A. full back, and once All-American (1931); Theodore Cooper, guard; Theodore Hall, tackle, Raymond Harrison, co-captain of the 1932 squad and tackle; Stephen Howe, co-captain; Theodore Lawson, guard; and Cabell Scott, end; and Albert Overby, back. The loss of these men strikes a JONES ELECTED LEAGUE HEAD C. S. Jones was elected president of the Departmental League at a meeting held Sunday at the residence of G. Mills, 2032 Flager Place, Northwest. Other officers elected were C. Fairfax, vice-president; J. Carroll, treasurer; J. M. Tatum, secretary and scorer, and M. Grant, assistant secretary. The report of the secretary was read and adopted. Teams of governmental origin wishing to become members are requested to communicate with John Tatum, 1005 Twenty-fourth Street, Northwest.

Gandy, in his annual after-dinner speech, pointed out the regret felt by all persons at the college upon the resignation of Coach Martin. "The coach, in leaving carries with him the good will, highest regards and best wishes of the administration," the president said, in order to correct an erroneous impression that some kind of dissatisfaction led to Martin's resignation. In speaking of a possible successor to Mr. Martin the president assured the men "that every effort will be made to obtain the services of a competent man." Definite announcement of the next head coach of football will be forthcoming in the early spring, the president said.

PAUL Tigers Rally in Early Part of Game; Overcome by Howard The Howard University basketball team defeated St. Paul with a score of 42-31, in the game played last Saturday night in the Howard University gymnasium before a crowd of 1200 enthusiastic spectators. As a starting line-up, Coach Burr rewarded Pinn, Parker, Carter, Holloman, and McArthur for their successful competition with other combinations in the practice games during the week. The experiment was successful in that Howard got away with a lead of 6-1 in the early stages of the game before Williams of St. Paul was able to cage the first alien basket. St. Paul rallied to even the score at 6-all, then Coach Burr tried a second combination of Ware, Carter Pinn, Walker, and McCarthar. The second shift proved even more effective than the first, giving Howard the long end of a 22-13 score at half time. In the second half, with the same combination, Howard maintained its lead, never once being threatened by the visitors. This enabled the Bisons to give a fine exhibition of a passing freeze in which no shot was attempted and the visitors were completely baffled. Triple Tie for Honors Ware and Pinn, of Howard shared with Martin, of St. Paul, a triple tie for high scores at ten points each. Martin, however, was able to score only two field goals, while making good 6 out of 7 tries from the foul line. Reid, who substituted for Pinn in the game against City College of New York last year, saw first action of the season at forward. He was sent in too late to provide any indication of what may be expected of him during the present season. Ware, shifted to forward position, combined a keen eye for shooting with the fast floor work that characterized his play in the position of guard in the game against Bluefield the week before.

The Bordentown Girls made it a perfect Ironsides' night by scoring their first victory in three games against a young sextet from the Orange, N.J., YW.C.A., 27-14. The Jersey boys quickly ran up a commanding lead against their visitors and were never headed after the first three minutes of play. Harlan was the big threat for the teachers, while Mitchell, of Bordentown, garnered high scoring honors for both teams. After a furious first half the game became considerably rough in its closing quarters. Ironsides' Girls Victors The Ironsides' girls out-reached and out-shot their Orange opponents, who were unfortunate in having several of their players arrive late. Even their best efforts, however, could not break through the home defense, while Rose Alderman, Maggie Alston, and Pricie Murphy found the basket with unfailing regularity. | BORDENTOWN | G F P | MINER TEACHERS | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Swann, lf. | 1 0 0 | Allen, if. | G F P | | Mitchell, 4 2 | 4 2 0 | Smith, if. | 2 1 5 | | Lewis, rf. | 1 0 0 | Bop, if. | 2 1 5 | | Johnson, c. | 1 0 0 | Brown, if. | 4 1 0 | | Haywood, 0 2 | 0 2 | Harlan, c. | 4 1 0 | | Byrd, lg. | 0 0 0 | W.

WILLS HOPES FOR CRACK AT DEMPSEY Harry Believes Fight Would Have Pulling Power at Late Date NEW YORK—Harry Wills, former nemesis of Jack Dempsey, would like to meet Dempsey in a belated fight and believes that the fight would settle a controversy that has been waged since 1920 as to who is the better of the two. Wilbur Wood, of New York, newspaper correspondent, has the following to say after a meeting with Wills: "How much would a fight between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills have been good for five, six or seven years ago? Certainly a million dollars. Probably two million. Maybe three million. Who would have won? "How much would a fight between them draw next summer? And who would win? Harry Wills is one man who would like to know. The writer bumped into the Black Panther, as lean and clear-eyes as ever, on Broadway. "I jaw something in your paper the other day," said Harry, 'about Dempsey saying that there never was a time when he was not willing to fight me, and that it cost him around a hundred thousand dollars to try to make the match. "I'm sorry if Jack lost that much money on that South Bend business. And I have a way for him to get it back. Why can't he ard I fight next summer? Rickard Balked Fight "I know that Mr. Rickard didn't wint us to fight, because he was afraid of what might follow. But that's all past now. There wouldn't be any bad feeling if we fought next summer. Somewhere there must be a promoter who would put us into the ring together. Maybe Jack could promote it himself. That would suit me. Jack is a great fellow. A great fighter, too. I always liked him a lot and I think heliked me, too. "I know a lot of people still argue about who would have won if we had met a few years ago. Wouldn't they still want to see us fight? I'll be 40 years old the 20th of this month. I'm still in good shape." "Harry unbuttoned his coat and nowed he had no fat around the waist. "How do you keep yourself in such wonderful shape, Harry', the writer asked." Going on Fast "Just by living right, taking care of myself and going on a fast once a year. I'm starting to get ready for my fast now. I'm going on it the first of February and stay on it through that month. "Don't think I'm kidding. Maybe you and other folks think a man can't go without food for 28 days and live. I do it every year. I won't eat a bite of food all through February. I'll just drink a gallon or more water every day and take deep breathing exercises and I'll feel great, too. No, I won't lose much weight." "In these days the news that a man can go without food for 28 days is good news. Maybe we could have a national fast for a month. Some of the inmates of the stock market are faced with the prospect of an extended fast, willy-nilly. Not Too Late "From Harrisburg, where he is finishing his vaudeville tour, Jack Dempsey comments on Harry Wills's proposal that it is not yet too late for them to fight. "Dempsey sends word that at present he is a promoter, not a fighter, and is all wrapped up in the Schmeling-Baer fight he has signed for next June. But, says ALL ARE WELCOME Changes in Basketball Rules By BENJAMIN WASHINGTON Secretary, Eastern Board of Officials The "Center—Pivot Play" is the term applied to that formation on the basketball court where the center (player) assumes a position in the free throw lane with his back to the basket, ready to receive the ball from his teammates and then juggle it in a manner that permits the members of his team to rush past him towards the basket for a shot after receiving the ball from the "center pivoter." This play has been restricted by limiting to THREE SECONDS the time the player may hold the ball with "HIS BACK TO THE BASKET." Numerous inquiries have been received to this effect. Question—When is the player considered to have his back to the basket? while his back is ket he must get the lane in THERE otherwise he will holding the ball if he passes theponent, or to his latter being with lane), he has co spirit of the rule stance officials who common sense are to continue. If the player with his back to one foot on the line of the lane, a then back inside subject to the th and if the whole more than three the ball. If he pivots out Answer.—The position of his feet and shoulders determine this. If he is in a half-way position, that is, if his feet point toward the side line and his shoulders are PARAL-LEL to the side line, his back is not considered to be toward the basket—BUT, if his feet OR SHOULDERS ARE IN ANY DEGREE TOWARD HIS BACK COURT FROM THIS POSITION his back is toward the basket. If at any time while he is within the free throw lane, and this includes any part of the 6-foot sector, he has the ball in his possession Downingtown Girls Win 17th in Twin Triumph BOWIE, Md.—The future school marms at Bowie Normal School were the victims of the 17th straight court conquest of the Downingtown girls, and their second of 1933. The final figures were 40-8. At the first quarter Bowie led 6-5, but scored only two foul goals over the remainder of the game. While the hometowners were concentrating on Singletary, Latimore was hanging up 18 points, although the former managed to bag 14. The Downingtown boys, led by White, Sperling, and Nichols, nabbed their first M.A.A.A. victory, 30-20. The Bowie lads also started out in hurricane fashion, sporting an 11-6 margin at the end of the first frame. At the half the count was 12-12. After that, however, the tilt took on a golden tint, with the Blue and Gold of Downingtown flashing to an easy triumph. VA. STATE BEAT A. & T. COLLEGE GREENSBORO, N.C.—The collegiate season in basketball was officially opened here when Virginia State defeated the A. and T. College Aggies on the local court, 37 to 32. State opened the scoring when Butler, State's fast forward scored a field goal. State kept the lead throughout the first half. The Aggies seemed unable to stop the scoring of Hall, lanky State center, and Butler, one of the fastest forwards ever to perform on the local court. While State was piling up a safe lead the Aggies seemed unable to get their offense to click. The score at the half was A. and T. 13, State 24. During the second half the Aggies made a bid to overtake the Statesmen, but were cut short by the final whistle. Jack, if the cards should so fall that he puts on the gloves again he will give Wills the first crack at him. Few expect Dempsey ever to fight again. while his back is towards the basket he must get the ball OUTSIDE the lane in THREE SECONDS, otherwise he will be guilty of withholding the ball from play. If he passes the ball to an opponent, or to his teammate (the latter being within the free throw lane), he has compiled with the spirit of the rules and in this instance officials would, of course, use common sense and allow the play to continue. If the player holding the ball with his back to the basket has one foot on the inside or outside line of the lane, and pivots outside then back inside the lane, he is subject to the three-second count, and if the whole operation takes more than three seconds, he loses the ball. If he pivots out of the lane within three seconds and remains out of the lane, the three-second rule does not apply. Penalty for this violation—The ball shall go to an opponent out of bounds, on the side, at the point nearest the spot where the violation was committed. ***** NOTE.—Answers to questions which are received after Tuesday cannot appear in the current issue of The Tribune; they may appear in the following week's issue.

HAMPTON'S STRING OF WINS BROKEN Lee Stars As Union Hands Seasiders 29 to 24 Court Lacing By Enoc P. Waters, Jr. HAMPTON, Va.—In a desperate game, Hampton and Union clashed in the Hampton gym last Saturday night before a capacity crowd which winners Union win 29-24. Hampton lost the tap off but a fumble resulted in a mad scramble from which White emerged with the ball which he passed to Lancaster who sank it for Hampton's initial twin-pointer. Hampton was able to hang up another point by virtue of a foul before the Panthers were able to check in one point when French made good a free shot from the foul line. Williams followed with another point and the Union score froze while the Seasiders skipped up to six. The Panthers' tally mounted slowly but the Seasiders were quick enough to maintain a narrow lead, which, had they been able to achieve the form they attained last week in their game with St. Paul, would have been sufficient to nullify the Panthers' rout in the second half. At the close of the half Hampton was four points ahead on a 14-10 score. See Stars When hostilities were continued, the game became noticeably rough. A bitter skirmish ensued which had no effect on the score until Lee, Union right forward, who was undoubtedly the best shot on the floor during the game, rang up a twin pointer from the floor. Carter boosted the Hampton tally two points and Lee returned with another successful long shot. The Seasiders were striving desperately to reach their stride while the Union tally rose, gradually closing the narrow margin Hampton had been able to maintain throughout the fray. It reached its climax when Lee's free shot tied things up at 17-17. Turning Point This was the turning point of the game and with seven minutes to play the Panthers and the Seasiders poured forth all their pent up venom in one mad endeavor to gain the lead. French, followed by the consistent Lee, gave the visitors a four point margin which reacted psychologically on the Hampon quintet. Its steadfast and most reliable shots became erratic at times missing the backboard by feet. White, and Hamm, who received a slight injury, were able at one time to raise the Hampton score within one point of Union's lead with a 22-22 score. Game Rough From that point on Union was more consistent, Lee ringing up two field goals while the Hampton Ho-Hum, Tribune Girls Win Another Victory PHILADELPHIA - Otto Briggs and his Tribune Girls, basketball champions, scored their twelfth straight victory Friday by defeating the Paramount girls on the court of the Wissahickon Boys' club by a score of 17 to 9. The Paramounts are former Hornuts and Tribune players of last season. A championship game will be played here on January 26 when the Tribune girls tackle the Leavittsville A.C. (white), of Ohio. The Ohio team has a record of 122 wins and 8 defeats. Hampton Football Men Given Turkey Dinner HAMPTON, Va.—The annual Hampton football banquet was held Friday evening when this year's ironmen were feasted at the campus cafeteria by rooters among the faculty and townmen. In between numbers by the Armstrong quartet, a turkey dinner with all the fixings from grapefruit to nuts, was enjoyed by a group of about one hundred. Toastmaster George A. Kuyper of the English department, introduced an interesting list of a dozen after-dinner orators who complimented the squad on last season's work, and encouraged it to gain the championship next year. Retiring captain "HI" Harris and Captain-elect "Heavy" Rivers both spoke. Nelson Elected President of Leparadis Baseballers ALEXANDRIA, Va.—B.

In its closing moments, the game was unusually rough and closed with a 29-24 count which broke Hampton's string of consistent wins over the Richmond institution cage teams since the two first engaged in combat on the court. Cutes Carter, pilot of the Seaside quintet and Lancaster, a veteran of the court, accounted for half of the Hampton total while Lee contributed 13 points for the Panthers. MORGAN COLLEGE SWAMPS ST. PAUL Gibson, Troupe & Hackett Take Scoring Honors in Bear Victory BALTIMORE, Md.-The powerful Morgan quintet, that has been submerging all rivals with monotonous regularity, met a third victim in St. Paul before an enthusiastic crowd at the New Albert Auditorium on Friday, and managed to walk away with a 47-14 victory. Again it was the peerless scoring trio of Hackett. Gibson and Troupe that enabled Morgan to cop the honors. Gibson had another of his big nights and stormed the hoops on six occasions with several of his fancy copyrighted shots. His side-kick, Troupe, got away with five goals. The game was a fast one from the first whistle on and the defense work of the Morganites was little short of spectacular. Morgan took an early lead and at the end of the first period held a 24-6 lead on the rivals. The second half found the visitors attempting several long shots that usually went wide of the goals. The St. Paul defense faltered in this period and the Morgan lads broke through and scored easily. The visitors found it extremely difficult to penetrate the Morgan defense and many of their long shots went wild to be converted into points for the ultimate victors. Martin and Brown were high scorers for the losing team with six and four points, respectively. Conrad, Morgan star final, who has a bad knee as a result of the last football game, started off the scoring streak of Morgan and held up for the Bears until the victory was assured, and then he was taken out to save his knee for future victories.

JACOBS Douglass won a thriller from Dunbar by a 26 to 21 count in the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference last week. The half ended at 15-all. Douglass took the lead in the second half when Patterson cut the cords with a high arched shot from the far corner of the court. L. Jackson, a first-year man on the Dunbar quint, was the outstanding player, while Patterson starred for Douglass. Both scored 10 points each. Cardozo eBaten Robinson, Lamar, Weaver and Coleman were the big guns in the Douglass-Cardozo game, which was won by the former, 29 to 23. Armstrong played havoc with Douglass in a game last week in which the Washington team won by a score of 36 to 16. The Techmen are the first to hand the Baltimore boys a set-back. When the excitement incident to the next four conference games subsides, followers of the conference fortunes will have a reasonably sound idea of what teams will be in the title hunt a month hence. Howard on Top Howard, perched at the top, is involved in three of the next four circuit contests. The hopes of the defending champions will depend in a large measure upon their success in this trio of engagements. Dunbar and Howard will be the only conference members to engage in conference tilts this week-end. Coach Perkins and the Dunbar basketers will make the trip to Wilmington this week-end. This will be the second conference contest for both teams. Whirlwind action is expected. Coach Perkins Talks There are any number of persons who attach great importance to unsullied records, but Coach Perkins, of Dunbar, is one of the dissenters. No one strives for victory with more assiduousness than he, however he does not allow success to distort his sense of proportion. The writer heard this remark after a game in while his team was defeated: "If you go through a season without losing a game it proves you have under-scheduled your team. The standards are too high. It's a great thing to take defeat some time. It sobers you and provides an excellent opportunity for an inventory. Cites Causes for Losses "Take our team for an example. We lost because of four things: missing 'set up', poor foul shooting, unnecessary switching, and an offense that failed to click because of poor team work. What I am most concerned with now is the morale of the squad. They have taken their defeat seriously, because they know they have played badly and can do better. We have gone over our mistakes and we will have a chance to redeem ourselves." Perhaps he was thinking of Friday's game. Perhaps he was looking ahead to the city series. At any rate you can expect better performances from the Poets from now on. Douglas made a sorry start but has won its last two games, toping off victories over two conference rivals, Dunbar and Cardozo. Whether this improvement is permanent or just a flash will be determined by the Howard test at home next week-end. Ranking the Basket Makers Patterson (Doug), f. Hall (A), c. Briscoe (Doug), c.

This powerful drama deals with the tragedy of a woman who finds she cannot have children because of a streak of insanity in her husband's family. Unwilling to rob herself and her husband of parental happiness, she hits upon a remarkable, ultra-modern plan for preserving their domestic tranquility, a device which involves the love of two other men and which eventually brings all four characters into the most difficult of dramatic complications. Of additional interest is the fact that the action of the plot covers some thirty years, requiring nine different transformations of character to denote the aging of the actors. Not the least of the novelties in "Strange Interude" is the unusual use of spoken thoughts or "asides" necessitating the use of two separate sound systems to record the dialogue. Miss Shearer's performance as the heroine with the strange complexes is superb. Clark Gable as STAGE and SCREEN Dr. Darrrell has a forceful character to portray and he plays the role with both fire and force. The remainder of the cast is uniformly good and includes excellent work by Alexander Kirkland, Ralph Morgan, Robt. Young, as the son; Maureen O'Sullivan and H. B. Walthall. Drake and Walker Return here in "Jail Birds" On Friday midnight, at the Lincoln Theatre, Ethel Walker and Henry Drake make their first appearance in three years in their on tremendous review "Jail Birds." This extraordinary cast, boasting such outstanding names as Billie English, Setaria Yorrow-Harlem's night club lady—Dinah Scott, a chorus of ten beautiful girls, and many others, has been showing before capacity houses in most of the large cities throughout the country. An exciting, riotous night is promised for all who attend. Last but not least is the appearance of Drake and Walker's Red Hot Syncopating Band. Admissions are 55 cents to all, Tickets are on sale starting at 11 p.m. Friday evening. There will be no reserved seats.

TUESDAY-THURSDAY JANUARY 24-26 THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE ‘SELF DEFENSE’ With Pauline Fredericks Claire Windsor Theodore Vonelz Loaded Dice . . . Both Guns Blazed . . . One Man Dropped— Was it MURDER or SELF-DEFENSE? MILLS BROTHERS ON THE SCREEN AT THE LINCOLN Those superlative artists of stage and screen, four boys and a guitar, the Mills Brothers, will appear on the screen and will sing their latest sensation hit, "Dinah," at the Lincoln Theatre for a week, beginning Friday, January 20. Sweet, hot harmony, the illusion of an orchestral accompaniment, crooning that really is—all of this these boys will bring to you for your entertainment. In addition, a second feature will be shown, "Deception," starring Leo Carillo, who takes the part of a crooked promoter of wrestling matches. A dame stepped in and out stepped fame. That in a nutshell sums up the theme of "Deception." It concerns a famous college athlete who goes in for professional sports after graduation, only to have a mercenary miss gum up the works and almost ruin a real romance. Appearing with Carillo are the lovely blonde, Thelma Todd, seventeen year old Dickie Moore, of the souful brown eyes, Barbara Weeks and Nat Pendleton. This picture shows for four days only. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, January 24-26, brings to the Lincoln screen the ever popular and superbly-talented actress, Pauline Fredericks, in an amusing yet intensely dramatic presentation entitled "Self-Defense." A young man is accused of murder and his conviction or acquittal depends on the dubious roll of a pair of crooked edice. The supporting cast includes such well known names as Claire Windsor, Theo. VonEltz, Barbara Kent, and Robert Elliot. George Raft in "Under Cover Man" at Broadway That coin-flipping gangster of the famous success "Scarface" stars in a new and more exciting thrilling racketeer picture that opens at the Broadway on Sunday, January 22. It is none other than the handsome, Valentino-like George Raft as the big-time crook in "Under Coover Man" who gambles with his own life and that of the woman he loves to hunt down the men who killed his father. Fiery little Nancy Carroll is the frail (girl) in the case, and Roscoe Karns, Lew Cody and Gregory Raft have a lot to do with the crookedness that Raft exposes. Do not miss George Raft, the stool pigeon, in "Under Cover Man." Lester Dorsey Leaves on Southern Recital Tour Lester Dorsey, popular radio and concert singer accompanied by Maurice Tibbs, pianist will leave the city on Saturday to appear in ten recitals in the South. Mr. Clark, former manager of the Lincoln Theatre, is supervising the tour. Teacher: "Why did you cast "ME AND MY GAL COMING TO THE RAPHAEL "ME AND MY GAL COMING TO THE RAPHAEL Based on an original story by Barry Conners and Philip Klein, directed by Rauol Walsh and with the featured roles played by Joan Bennett and Spencer Tracy, "Me And My Gal," the new Fox comedy-romance comes to the Raphael Theatre next Sunday for an engagement of three days. Klein and Conners are well known scenarists. As a team they prepared the "Charlie Chan" stories for the screen and did a similar job for "The Riders of the Purple Sage," "Chandu the Magician," "Hat Check Girl," and other Fox successes. Walsh has directed some of the greatest successes the screen has enjoyed, among others being his recently acclaimed "Wild Girl," "The Man Who Came Back," "The Big Trail," "The Cock-Eyed World" and "The Yellow Ticket." In "Me And My Gal," Joan Bennett portrays the role of a sophisticated cashier in a downtown New York restaurant, while Tracy appears as a smart young detective who falls in love with her. Their romance leads to exciting paths, particularly for Tracy, who, as the result of his romance, runs to earth a gang of desperate bank robbers. Supporting Miss Bennett and Tracy is a cast of notables that includes Marion Burns, formerly of the New York stage who made her picture debut in "The Golden West"; J. Farrell Macdonald, Henry B. Walthall, George Walsh, Noel Madison, and George Chandler. Rufus Turner Returns to Air with Amateur License Rufus P. Turner has been granted new amateur station license, authorizing transmission from 1420 A Street, Northeast under the call letters, W3CVT. Turner's first broadcast was made here in Washington, using a crude set of apparatus, licensed under the call letters, W3LF, in the autumn of 1924, and transmitting from a location in northwest Washington. Later in the year, he received a second government call, W3AJF, issued for use in southeast Washington. He held these two calls until he moved to Boston, in 1926, where his station became known as W1AY. Here he established a low-power communication record, conversing with several distant countries with a low-powered home-built transmitter. Moving to Chicago in 1928, he became W9FZN and assisted two other Negro operators to secure federal licenses and get on the air. These men are now known on the air as W9IN and W9UE. Both are located in Chicago. In 1929, Turner moved temporarily to Asheville, N.C., and there was authorized by the Government to use the call. W4DY for his private transmissions. Turner now retains the calls W1AY and W9FZN together with his newest letters, W3CVT. your straw vote for Roosevelt?" Pupil: "Because I think the posterity of our country depends on him."

The quartett from Hampton Institute will be present to render special music for the occasion. Isaac Fisher, general secretary of the Y.M.C.A. at Hampton, will represent President Howe, whose duties in connection with Founder's Day at Hampton will not permit him to be here. Mr. Fisher, the speaker, is well-known as a prize essayist having won fifty-one prizes in nationwide contests on a broad range of subjects. In 1925 he was appointed by the Guggenheim Foundation its first (and only) Negro travelling fellow in research, travelling in Europe, Africa and the United States. He was reappointed for the same purpose in 1926. He has served as principal of the Branch Normal College for Negroes in Arkansas; farmers' conference agent of Tuskegee Institute; editor of the 'Negro Farmer; and university editor and instructor in journalism at Fisk University. This is the first attempt in recent years made to celebrate Founder's Day here. The general unit is asking all of the local units to show their loyalty to their Alma Mater by making Founder's Day one of the important days, of the year for all-true Hamptonsians.

A record-making audience cheered Tibbett when the opera was given its world premiere here last week in the Metropolitan Opera House. "An American opera, American in its dramatic and musical origin, its text, its swiftness and tension," it met with instant success. The 22 curtain calls attested the full and STRAND DEANWOOD, D.C.

JAN. 25-26 "The Big Broadcast" Mills Brothers, Cab Calloway Stuart Erwin, Lelia Hyams LINC A Lichtman spontaneous appreciation of one of the largest audiences in the 52 years of the existence of the Metropolitan Opera House. All seats and every inch of standing room were occupied as Tibbett, portraying the role of "Emperor Jones," sang and acted his way through the flighty course of life of the man who began as a Pullman porter and made himself an emperor. Xylophone and snare drums, and tom-toms beaten to a final crescendo pitch, were conspicuously employed by the orchestra. The opera, in one act, required one hour and a quarter. The cast included two score Negro men and women. The opera has no arias. With few exceptions it follows the O'Neill play. Seldom does singing obstruce upon the clear, understandable speech. Oaths are frequent, "dialect talk" almost constant. The composer is Louis Greunberg. One prominent critic said of it: "For an hour and ten minutes the stage of the Metropolitan was given over to the nightmare horrors of a tropical jungle and the menacing rites of voodoo worship and the swarming of frenzied native tribesmen and the epileptic prancings of a Congo witch doctor painted blue and red, with antelope horns and a charm-stick tipped with cockatoo's feathers. "Through this unusual phantas-magoria moved the figure of an ex-Pullman porter who had made himself ruler of the native tribes. We saw him disintegrate before our eyes, falling from the pride of his strutting glory to the groveling desperation of his inevitable end—saw him turn from a swaggering despot in gold braid and medals to a haunted, half-naked, terror-strenken fugitive, reclaimed by the primitive ancestral savagery that had spawned and doomed him... "We were indebted at the premiere to the brilliant performance of Mr. Lawrence Tibbett as Brutus Jones, the Negro bad man and fugitive Emperor, who dominated the proceedings from the moment that he appeared, blustering, insolent, preposterous, in his blue military coat with the brass buttons and gold chevrons and his bright red breeches, until, an abject and ghost-tridden savage, praying, pleading, whimpering, and historical, shorn of his thin caking of sophistication, he shot himself with his cherished silver bullet, an atavistic sacrifice."

ADDED SHORT SUBJECTS "CROOKED CIRCLE TO OPEN AT THE RAPHAEL Ralph Spence, noted screen scribe, is one author who refused to take anything, including himself, seriously, and his pet forte is to wait for some particular type of story, play or photoplay to become very much in vogue and then to lampoon it unmercifully but with supreme good humor. A few years ago the "mystery" play was at its apex and the public was treated to an endless procession of blood-curling shockers. It was then Ralph Spence wrote the hilarious adventures of his dumb detectives, Mulligan and Garrity, in the side-splitting mystery, "The Gorilla." Mystery pictures having recently attained a rejuvenated vogue, it is therefore perfectly natural for Spence to come forward with another delightful comedy of mystery entitled "The Crooked Circle," which World Wide Pictures will present on January 25, at the Raphael Theatre. In "The Crooked Circle" Spence offers a baffling mystery with all the thrills and chills but he writes with his tongue in his cheek. All the apparent supernatural doings are ultimately revealed to have perfectly natural origins. Also, as is natural with a Ralph Spence story, the comedy angle is equal to or perhaps slightly enlarged over the mystery. A large cast of all-star calibre present the principal roles with Ben Lyon heading the list. William Sistrom, the producer, has given this popular young star the able support of such sterling photoplayers as Irena Purcell, Raymond Hatton, Zazu Pitts, James Gleason, Berton Churchill, Frank Reicher, C. Henry Gordon, Ethel Clayton, Christian Rub, Tom Kennedy, Roscoe Karns, and Robert Frazer. H. Bruce ("Lucky") Humberstone, who won his directorial spur with "Strangers of the Evening," also directed "The Crooked Circle," which is stated to be one of the most lavishly produced comedy-mysteries ever presented in talking pictures. Solomon Brown, 28, was treated at Freedmen's Hospital early this week for gun shot wounds in the right foot received when he shot himself accidentally at his home, 2220 Twelfth Street Northwest.

Garnet-Patterson School Opens Bread Box Many plans are being offered to help people in need. Garnet-Patterson Junior High School has opened a weekly bread box. Every Monday morning the children and teachers are to bring all of the left-over bread to the school and place it in the big box. This plan was placed in operation Monday and many loaves and extra slices of bread were received. The principal, Walter Savoy, had a long table placed in the corridor at the foot of the north stairway and the bread was placed on it. The box was soon filled and overflowed on the table. This bread is sent to the Salvation Army station at Seventh and P Streets, Northwest, where Major Roberts serves it to the hundreds of men who call there for meals. The whole student body passed by the first bread box last Monday and each section or class was credited with the number of contributors in it. Three sections had zero opposite their number, signifying no bread.

SAGER Realtor and Builder :- National 0036 :- 924 14th St., N.W. Two interesting events took place at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School during the past week. On Wednesday morning two of the Mills Brothers thrilled the youngsters by attending the morning assembly. Although they made no musical renditions their mere presence and their cheerfulness in autographing papers and booklets for several of the teachers and students gladdened the hearts of large numbers of members of the school. On Thursday evening a Christmas playlet, "Riches in Poverty," written and presented by Mrs. M. D. Evans, was repeated without admission charge so that parents would have an opportunity to enjoy it. The principal characters in the play were Leland Brent, Hattie Pierson, Janice Smith, Richard Wells, Ardell Hall, Norman Nickens, Charles Hill, Benjamin Chick, Gloria Osborne, Annie Dodson, Ruth Wheeler, Dick Lee, Marjorie Perry, Sara Mayden, John Phillips, Charles Hill, Eleanor Barnes. Following the playlet, Christmas religious services were repeated in foreign languages. Mrs. E. B. King trained the French students; Mrs. G. D. Edmondson trained the Spanish students; and Miss A. E. Hawkins trained the Latin students. Following this program of instruction and entertainment, the regular parent-teacher meeting was conducted. "I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang" at Jewel Theatre A most unusual and extraordinary type of story comes to the screen of the Jewell Theatre, in the Warner Bros. picture, "I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang," starring Paul Muni, with the most brilliant supporting cast ever used at the Warner Studio. The screen play by Sheridan Gibney and Brown Holmes is based on the autobiographical novel of Robert E. Burns. The picture treats of the astounding experience of a man sentenced to a state chain gang for the theft of less than five dollars, who escaped and is still at large. It portrays the terrors of chain gang life, which are picturesque despite their shuddery aspect. This shows how prisoners, their lags shackled together and to each other, are forced to work on rock piles until they fall exhausted. They are not even permitted to wipe the sweat from their brows unless special permission from guards who watch over them with guns and bloodhounds. Entertain in Honor of the Four Mills Brothers The Four Mills Brothers with their mother, step-father and secretary-valet, Thomas La Vigne, were the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. C.

Harold Latimore, Peaches and Duke of the dance trio were among the well known guests.
