Local Minister Fails to Win Suit Against the Tribune The Sisters Marietta Smith and Lucy Wilson did their little number entertaining the Coo-Coos. This affair was held at the Homestead on Thirteenth Street, and that portion of the local snobbery which could trace its family bush back to the First Slave Ship and could boast sufficient social avoid-dupois was asked to the festivities. There were many eye-massaging gals on hand. And modistes of high and low estate were represented: Lansbury and Hecht, Mrs. Goldberg and Goldenberg's, Palace Royal and King's Palace. There was the usual amount of good, honest imbibing, the usual number of disgruntled husbands, and the abundant "alumni" buzzing, around the chippies, thicker than indictments flying around F Street. But now that the Tribune has an intelligent commentator, things of a less frochy nature should be considered. Honest. Abe, who is widely hailed as librator of his brethren in sable, never evinced any large personal regard for a gentleman of Ethiopian persuasion, but once every four years since his lamented demise, the "Jasper" who could distinguish a ballot frown a bar of Ivory soap, voted for Honest Abe and the Republican ship. But the present, Democratic incumbent, Mr. Roosevent, has broken several precedents which should lift loud hosannas from the lips of sepia America. In the first place, Fred D. Pryor has been lifted out of the damp of the Navy Department and installed in the Roosevelt little cabin on Pennsylvania Avenue, and is as prominent as Mortimer Smith's head would he in a Poro college. There is a story that when word came down the line to the Navy Department that Mrs. Roosevelt's son, Frankie wanted a Mr. Fred D. Pryor to hang out with him, personally, the messenger was sent back crying "mistake." The only Pryor over there was a fellow not nice enough for the National Theatre. But quicker than George Hayes can say, "Your Honor, I object," the messenger was back voting for our little Freddie... There is another story which relates that out of about twenty White House employees, ten are beyond the help of Palmer's skin success. This, in conjunction with the extraordinarily splendid courtesy shown Mr. Edward Savoy by busy Executive is calculated to make some of our Georgia cracker friends about as pleased as Miss Valerie Chase when it busted out in perfectly public fashion that Harry Wines had gone and got legal and ecclesiastical permission to hang out, even at ungodly hours, with Charlotte Collins last Thursday. ONE-NIGHT STAND A friend of scientific learning informed me that a seismoscope, while very reliable in responding to earthquakes, cannot always tell the exact location. When the instrument in the Georgetown University began buck-jumping the other night, the learned professors were unable to determine whether there were new out-breaks in California or whether some larceny-hearted hustler had tried to put his "tops" down in Mike's. But the disturbance was finally located on M Street where loud squawks could be heard. On investigation could be seen the erstwhile Bucker girl yelling, "You Done Me Wrong," while Newsome sang back, "I Was King for a Night." I HAIL A NEW MAGNATE Between the time that Prosperity, was supposed to jump around the corner and now; the girls and boys in this bailiwick dyed many bright and glittering methods of "turning an honest penny." But I am giving each week, postage paid, a life-sized portrait of Susie Martin to the most brilliant of these inspirations. This week, the portrait goes to a young striver who does his stuff in a barber shop on Seventh Street. With as much ease as Dr. James L. Pinn, of "I can get any woman," fame, can say "Twenty Gra. J." this magnate conceived the idea of attracting business by offering a shoe shine and a nickel play on a number all for a dime. Washington Tribune SLAIN Youth Freed; Praised for Killing Man Who Ran Amuck with Ax Boy Becomes Hysterical while Coroner's Jury Considers Case MAN THREATENED TO KILL ENTIRE FAMILY Jerry Gregory is Fatally Stabbed in Fight With High School Boy While sobbing aloud and crying that he did not want his parents in Virginia, to know that he was in trouble, James David Dickerson, 21-year-old youth, was exonerated by a coroner's jury Saturday morn- at the District Morgue in connec- tion with the death of Jerry Gregory, 21, 5 Rock. Creek. Church Road, who was fattally stabbed Thursday night during a fight at Woodburn D.C. The jury deliberated less than 10 minutes and brought in a ver- jet of justifica- je homicide and that Dickerson killed Gregory in defense of his own life. Threatened Entire Family While the jury was deliberating, Dickerson who was in an out-room broke down and became hysterical. Police who arrested the youth and spectators who attended the hearing at the morgue were plainly in sympathy with the youth and many expressed the opinion that he rendered society a service by killing Gregory who was drunk at the time and was threatening to wipe out an entire family with an ax. According to testimony of several witnesses, Gregory had threatened to kill his common-in-law wife, Isabella Grayson, with whom he had been living for one year. The woman told the jury that the man drove her from their home at night while she was clad in her night clothes. She stated that she fled to the home of his sister, Mrs. Edna Coles, 30 Woodburn Road. Broke Open Door Mrs. Coles stated that her brother came to her house in search of Miss Grayson and when he was refused admittance he broke over the door with an ax and threatened to kill the two women, Milbred Coles, husband of Mrs. Coles, and Dickerson, a nephew of Coles. Coles testified that when Gregory broke open his door he grappled with the man and both wrestled for possession of the ax. During the scuffle Coles was struck across the head with the ax and (Continued on Pagc 3) A petition for a writ of habeas corpus was granted by Justice Cox on March 13, releasing Leon Calhoun who had been sentenced to serve six months in jail for his failure to give bond in the sum of $1,000 to secure the payment of $241, a balance due under an order of the Juvenile Court in January, 1919, for the support of an alleged illegitimate child. Russell Morris, Calhoun's attorney, raised the question that the Juvenile Court was without jurisdiction to sentence the defendant after the child in question had reached its present age, fourteen years. The court sustained this contention, and Calhoun was recessed. Add Isaac Nutter, Former Jersey Republican Leader, to their Ranks Capital News Service Isaac N. Nutter, prominent attorney and politician of New Jersey, is reported to have acknowledged his support of the Communist party, at an interview last week at the State House in Trenton He is alleged to have said he is politically independent and that he favors the Communists. He declared that neither the Democratic nor the Republican party meant the Negro much good, and for that reason he voted the Communist ticket at the recent election in November. DELEGATION FAILS TO GET AUDIENCE WITH PRESIDENT President Roosevelt launched his "new deal" with a refusal to see a delegation which called on him last Monday to bring before the new Federal Government the grievances and demands of the Negro people. The delegation was met at the door of the White House by an under-secretary, Howe, who acquainted it with the President's decision. In answer to the question raised by the delegation of the omission of any mention of the Negro from the President's inaugural address and from the agenda of the Conference of Governors held in Washington on that day, Howe offered the explanation that the Negro people had no special problems, that they are American citizens, and that therefore the general remarks of the President applied to them as well as to any other section of the American population. This excuse was also offered for the exclusion of the problems facing the Negro people from the agenda of the Governors' Conference. To this bit of sophistry, the delegation replied by pointing to the flagrant and continual violation of the civil rights of the Negro people, the exclusion of Negroes from the juries in Maryland, Alabama, and other states, the disfranchisement of millions of Negroes in the (Continued on page 8) U Street Shop Looted of $350 Worth of Women's Clothing Women's wearing apparel valued at more than $350 was reported lost by Ama J.

According to police investigating the theft, entrances to the shop was made through a rear door. Included in the loot was 35 lady's dresses.

Some New Angles Exposed in Segregated School Fight White Member of School Board Says Colored Children Will be Marked Low on Tests and Assigned to "Backward" School EDITOR'S NOTE--The following is an extract from a news article in the Philadelphia Tribune. The hearing which is referred to was before the Attorney General of the state, who says he will hear the school board's side in a week or two. By JOSEPH H. RAINEY In the Philadelphia Tribune. out of the township rather than send them to a mixed school. Groff also told him that Negro children were bright during their first three years in school but after that they were inferior to the white children. The average white child's intelligence was measured at 90 and the Despite the fact that Attorneys Harvey and Holden, representing the school boards of these two townsbips (near the city of Philadelphia), failed to put in their appearance the case was Nally called and this throng moved into the Caucas Room of the State House of Representatives to hear witness after witness testify how Negro children in these communities had been segregated in the school system there. James A. Black, a surprise witness produced by Raymond Pace Alexander and Maceo Hubbard, counsel for the parents of these children, who were employed by the Bryn Mawr branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, threw the room into turmoil when he came forth with testimony that was most damaging to the school boards and their officials. Black told Harris Arnold, Deputy Attorney General, who presided over the case, that in questioning certain members of the school boards he was told by them that it was their intention to use any methods possible to force the Negro children to attend separate schools from the whites. He testified that William K. Groff, supervising principal of the schools; J. H. W. McQuiston, Norman J. Greens, and Rev. VanDever, the latter two members of the school boards, all told him that the white people in the community felt that the value of their property was depreciated because of mixed schools. Groff claimed that white people had sent their children to school out of the township rather than send them to a mixed school. Groff also told him that Negro children were bright during their first three years in school but after that they were inferior to the white children. The average white child's intelligence was measured at 90 and the Negro child's at 70 by Groff, according to Black. The supervising principal told Black that he thought the Negro children should be in a school of their own where they could be trained along domestic and industrial lines. McQuiver told Black, according to his testimony, that it was the intention of the school boards at first to put Negroes and Italians in separate schools but this was later deemed inadvisable. McQuiston said that whites pay thousands of dollars in taxes yearly while Negroes in the community pay but $23,000 and therefore the whites should have whatever they want. Must Order Negroes A Negro can't be asked to do anything but must be ordered to do it, according to what Norman Greene told Black. Greene said that he wanted segregation in the school system long before he became a member of the school board and it was because of his backbone to start such a movement that he was made a member of the board. He also stated that the Negro child is inferior to the white in intelligence. Greene impressed upon Black that it was the intention of the school boards to have segregated schools at any cost. If this court rules against the boards it is their intention to give mental tests and give all Negro students so low a mark that they will be forced to attend a school, which will then be called a backward school, but will be attended by Negroes only. This may be done next fall. Office: 920 U St., N. W. SCHOOL PUPILS TO AID POLICE IN TRACKING KILLER SCHOOL PUPILS TO AID POLICE IN TRACKING KILLER Officers Enlist Children to Help Identify the Body Police enlisted the aid of 3,000 school children of the Southwest this week to help in tracking down the killer or killers of a five-year-old girl whose body was found on Wednesday afternoon in a sewer at Second and R Streets, Southwest. The body was found shortly after 1 p.m., by James Hardy, 13-year-old boy, of 1204 First Street, Southwest, while he was playing in the vicinity. Hardy told police that he was attracted to the body by the bright hue of a pair of pink bloomers on the child. Call on Students Detective Sergeant John C. Dalglish, of the homicide squad, who is investigating the death of the girl, stated that he would enlist the aid of all the school children in the Southwest and take them to the District Morgue in relays in an effort to establish the identity of the girl. Hundreds of pictures of the child have been taken and will be distributed through the schools to children in a further effort to learn the child's name. Sergeant Dalglish said he believed that the body had been in the sewer less than 24 hours, as only a part of the face and one arm had been eaten by sewer rats. He said that if the body had been in the underground passage longer rats would have completely mutilated the body. Strap Around Neck A strong strap was found around the neck indicating that the child had been killed and the body dragged some distance and thrown into the sewer. There was no indication that the girl had been attacked. An examination of the body revealed the fact that death was due to a compound fracture of the skull, Dr. A. McGrude McDonald, acting coroner, said that some sharp instrument had been driven through the skull, piercing the brain. Expect to Make Arrest Besides the bloomers the child had on a white undershirt and an under skirt. There were no marks of identification on the clothes. The clothing were of good material and the condition of the child revealed that she had come from a good home. No children answering the description of the child have been reported missing to police in the city. Detectives were of the opinion that an arrest will be made within 24 hours. Mortimer Harris Loses Suits by Default The two suits filed recently against Mortimer Harris and wife by the Van Senden estate, for $4,449, due on promissory notes, went against the Harrises by default, Monday. Fewel Workman, Claude Myers, Everett Blackwell and Albert Cash, the latter two white, were given life sentences by Judge O'Donoghue last Friday, for the killing of Elmer Ecklund, white, an an attempted hold up near the new House Office building a month ago. They had been indicted for first degree murder, but the jury gave a verdict for second degree for all SEW Rev. J. L. Pi Baptist Pa $20,000 LI COLORED CLERK CALLED TO DUTY IN WHITE HOUSE Rev. J. L. Pinn, Ousted Baptist Pastor, Loses $20,000 Libel Action Fred D. Pryor Transferred from Office of Assistant Secretary of Navy President Roosevelt set a precedent last week when he had Fred D. Pryor sent from the office of the assistant secretary of the navy to the executive offices at the White House for duty as a clerk to Louis McHenry Howe, one of his secretaries. This is the first time that a colored clerk has served in the executive offices. Mr. Pryor was a messenger in the office of the assistant secretary of the navy when Mr. Roosevelt came to that post under Josephus Daniels in Wilson's administration. Pryor's contact with Mr. Roosevelt won his favor and friendship. He was raised to a clerkship under Howe, who was also in Mr. Roosevelt's office in the war days. As President, Mr. Roosevelt selected Mr. Howe for one of his secretaries and Pryor for the assistant to Howe. However, Pryor modestly says that he is only a clerk in the President's office. Mr. Pryor was born at Mays Lick, Ky. At the age of four his parents moved to Xenia, Ohio, where he graduated from high school. At the age of 17 he secured a messenger's job at the Great Lakes Training Station in Chicago, Ill. In 1911 he was transferred to the office of the assistant secretary of the navy in Washington, and there he remained until his transfer a few days ago. He is married and has one daughter twelve years old. ENGLISH NEGROES JOIN JAPAN'S ARMY Practical Instruction Offered to Airminded Youth; Twenty Planes NEW YORK CITY (CNS)—It is reported from London, England, that the steamer Stanleyville left Elyth, Northumberland, Monday, March 6, for Japan, carrying a crew of Negroes determined, they said, to join the Japanese air force. The ship was dropping over the horizon when a delegation of the British Anti-War Council arrived in taxicabs, bearing two hundred pounds with which they hoped to induce the discontinuance of the voyage. The Anti-War Council was in conference in London when a member announced dramatically that the crew of the Stanleyville, a Belgian ship sold to the Japanese government, was prepared to desert if the council would guarantee sufficient funds to keep its members until they could find other jobs. (Continued on page 15) CAPITAL EDITION Matter Complained of Appeared in Tribune Nearly Two Years Ago TWO MEMBERS OF CHURCH SUED ALSO Alleged Libelous Article Reprinted in This Week's Issue The Rev. James L. Pinn, ousted pastor of the First Baptist Church of Georgetown, lost his $20,000 damage suit against the Washington Tribune, and Mrs. Emma E. Lawson and Mrs. Helen Martin, codefendants. The trial began last Thursday in a packed court room before Judge Proctor and a jury in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and continued until Wednesday afternoon of this week. The jury deliberated two and one-half hours. The Tribune and the two women were defendants in the case in which the charge was made that the Rev. Mr. Pinn misappropriated funds of the church and was guilty of conduct unbecoming a minister. Mrs. Lawson and Mrs. Martin, who were members of the church, filed the charges against the pastor in July, 1931. The Tribune secured a copy of the charges at a church meeting and published them. The Rev. Mr. Pinn declared that the charges were false and instituted suit. The alleged libelous article which appeared in the issue of The Tribune for July 31, 1931, read as follows: The Article Complained of The Rev. James L. Pinn, Howard University professor in the School of Religion and pastor of First Baptist Church, Georgetown, was formally charged with immoral conduct and misappropriation of church funds at a meeting of the church officers held at the church Tuesday night. In a statement to The Tribune today Rev. James L. Pinn denounced the meeting that was held Tuesday night at the church in which charges of immoral conduct and misappropriation of funds was charged against the pastor. Rev. Pinn said the meeting Tuesday was unofficial and was called by a group of ousted deacons who do not represent the church. He said the chairman of the trustee board nor the chairman of the deacon board were not present. Vote of Confidence Rev. Pinn said at the last church meeting he was given a record vote of confidence and asked to remain. He said all of the persons present Tuesday were disgruntled members who have been fired from all offices connected with the church. Rev. Pinn was confident that he would be overwhelmingly victorious tonight when the church meets to vote on his continuing as pastor. The Rev. Pinn has been the storm center of the First Baptist Church for the past several months. He was accused by a Baltimore doctor last spring with being unduly friendly with this doctor's swife. The Baltimore physician claims divorce proceedings grew out of intimate relations Rev. Pinn had with the doctor's wife. Rev. Pinn filed a $50,000 dam.

Supposedly earthquake proof “buildings trem- bled like autumn leaves of an oak tree during an equatorial storm, and in many cases the walls and ‘roofs crashed in shortly thereafter, Fire added to the terror as a se- quel to the quake.

F. HARRIS NOT ACCEPTED Corresponding Secretary Demands Free Hand in Conducting Office The resignation of Dr. Edward F. Harris as corresponding secretary of the Bloomingdale Civic Association was not accepted by the association when that body met Tuesday evening at Tabor Presbyterian Church. Mr. Harris resigned several weeks ago after the association repudiated a report he brought in censoring the Howard Playground management. The secretary in his report disclosed that he had taken the matter of the playground to Miss Sybil Baker (white), director. The association took the stand that he should have conferred with Miss Daisy Place, who is in charge of the ground. Asks Free Hand At its February meeting the association voted to have a committee call on Mr. Harris and have him respond his action. In a statement Tuesday Mr. Harris told the body that he would withdraw his resignation provided his actions hereafter as corresponding secretary be upheld and that he be given a free hand in conducting the affairs of his office. The motion not to accept his resignation was carried without a dissenting vote. The matter of additional playground space in the area bounded by the association was discussed. It was explained that the Dunbar High School stadium could be used for this purpose, but the plan was obJECTed when it was disclosed that the use of the stadium as a playground would curb other recreational activities such as baseball, track, tennis and other sports now being fostered by the schools. Asks Traffic Light The association letter to send another letter to officials of the District asking for a light to control traffic at First Street and Florida Avenue. A former letter has been sent, complaining of the hazard at this intersection. Miss Daisy Pierce, director of the playground, was present and explained that a movement is on foot by her organization to have all playgrounds in the District lighted and kept open until 9 p.m. A letter was ordered sent to the captain of the precinct in which the association is located asking that police put forth every effort to curb the bicycle menace. It was pointed out that many serious accidents occur as a result of bicycle riders injuring small children and other pedestrians on the sidewalk. Mrs. J. A. Cuney, president of the association, presided. The Junior Red Cross Council met at the District Chapter Building Saturday, March 11. Reports were made on the work done for February and material for the portfolio was discussed. All schools are asked to send some pictures and work characteristic of the school. Mrs. O. W.

Short Line Busses Do Not Discriminate In an interview with Leroy M. Brannic, of the Short Line Bus System regarding complaints concerning the treatment of colored people on buses operated by his system, he said: "Recently we have had numerous inquiries concerning the treatment of colored passengers on our buses. I wish to state clearly that cooled passengers on the Short Line buses are not faced with the same embarrassment experienced on other lines. "Colored persons traveling from Washington to points north and west are given the same privileges extended to passengers of other races. Of course busses traveling southward are under the rules and regulations of different state laws." "We invite criticism or suggestion on the part of any of our patrons."

Scottsboro Boys Get Change of Venue; Still in Jeopardy Judge Wouldn't Move Trial to Birmingham; Indicments to be Attacked SCOTTSBORO, Ala.—A change of venue from this town was won by International Labor Defense attorneys for the new trial of the Scottboro boys, last week. At the same time, in granting the change, Judge E. A Hawkins, the same who conducted the original hearing in April, 1931, refused to move the trial to Birmingham but set it in the town of Decatur, in Morgan County two counties removed from Jackson County. Defense counsel raised opposition to moving the trial to this town, scarcely 50 miles from Scottboro, and offered proof of prejudice in Morgan County, which Judge Hawkins refused to consider. A motion for a re-hearing will be filed it was announced Indictments to be Attacked The motion to quash the indictments against the boys on the ground that Negroes were excluded from the grand jury which handed it down, was adjourned to the Decatur hearing. Evidence was brought forward to show that Negroes in Jackson County were eligible but had not been called for the grand jury service, and that this was in accordance with an established and illegal practice in the county. Decatur is a small town of about 20,000, lacking the wide Negro and white working-class population which, in Birmingham, would have made it more difficult for the authorities to organize lynch-gangs during the trial. Armed Gangs Menace Attorneys Atmosphere of Scottsboro was tense all day Monday and Tuesday, while Attorneys General George W. Chamlee, Irving Schwab, and Carol King, of the ILL.D, presented their motions. Gangs of armed men crowded the streets as they did on the day of the original hearing, in response to a thinly disguised call published in the Jackson County Sentinel the week preceding. The obvious intention was to intimidate the defenders of the boys. The attorneys presented the two motions late Monday afternoon, after waiting all day for the case to be called. So fraught with possibilities of violence was the situation in the town they were not able to stay over night when the hearing was adjourned until Tuesday morning, but were forced to go to Chattanooga and return next day. Illusion of "Fair Play" The change of venue forced by world wide pressure, it was pointed out by I.L.D. representitives, was designed to give an illusion of "fair play" to the masses of workers all over the world which have been watching the progress of the case, without actually removing the trial to Birmingham, which the defense chose as the least unfavorable city in the state. YOUTH FREED (Continued from page 1) rendered unconscious. Mrs. Coles came to the rescue of her husband and was also struck, but was not injured seriously. Gregory was finally persuaded to leave the house and was taken to the home of Thomas Thomas. Wanted to Kill Woman Thomas stated that he tried to reason with the man who was "stinking with liquor" and pleaded with him to leave the neighborhood. This Gregory promised to do, but on leaving Thomas's house he returned to the home of his sister where he again broke open the door which had been nailed and went after Miss Grayson with the ax. The woman ran from the house to her own, but before she could reach home, Gregory caught her and according to testimony she was half dragged and beaten all the way home. Miss Grayson again managed to escape from the house and sought refuge at the home of Mrs. Coles. Gregory followed and broke open the door for the third time. Once inside he began to abuse all within sight and told them that he had just left a revolver with some friends in Southwest Washington and if he had his pistol he would shoot every one in the house. When the meadened man saw Dickerson in another room he made for the youth and threatened to kill him. Boy Grabbed Knife Dickerson was struck and in the ensuing fight the two fell to the floor. Dickerson told the jury that when he saw the man coming towards him he grabbed a small pocket knife that was on a window sill. While on the floor he managed to free one arm and cut several times at his antagonist, Gregory left the house after being injured and walked several yards to the house of a neighbor where police of the Sixth Precinct Station were summoned. The injured man was taken to Walter Reed Hospital where it was found that the jugular vein in his neck was severed. He died the same day. It was brought out at the hearing that Gregory weighed nearly 200 pounds while Dickerson weighed about 130. High School Youth Police found that Dickerson had never been in trouble before and had attended school at Greta, Va. where he had reached second THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1933 New York Editor Makes Strong Appeal to the Press NEW YORK. (I.L.D.)—In an open letter to editors, calling upon them to help their utmost to obtain freedom for the nine innocent Scottsboro boys, William M. Kelly, editor-in-chief of the Amsterdam News, urges the Negro press to get behind the International Labor Defense, which is leading the militant struggle for their release. The full text of Mr. Kelly's letter, which is entitled "From One Editor to Another," reads as follows: "The lives of the nine Scottsboro Boys are still in jeopardy. The fact that they are alive today is due mainly to the indefatigable efforts of the International Labor Defense, to see that justice is done in their case. But there is a price on justice here in America, and adequate legal defense, no matter how innocent an accused person may be, costs money. "The New York Amsterdam News has followed the activities of the International Labor Defense, not only in the Scottsboro case, but in the Orphan Jones case in Maryland, the Angelo Herndon case in Georgia, and cases involving Alabama share-cropers and others, and has reached the conclusion the time has come for the Negro Press as a whole to get behind this organization and hel, it raise funds, which are urgently needed." "The Amsterdam News is proud that it has already co-operated with this and other organizations affiliated with the International Labor Defense in their fund raising activities, to free the Scottsboro Boys and we intend to continue to do so until they are freed. The Ruby Bates letter removed all doubt as to their innocence, so why shouldn't these nine victims of oppression in the South be freed? "The International Labor Defense is a non-partisan organization—any one may join it, no matter what his (or her) political affiliation may be—but it is not necessary to be a member to co-operate with it in this important work. What is necessary is a belief in the fundamental rights of the Negro and all other minority groups to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Scottsboro case is a symbol of the violation of these rights. "Therefore I plead with you to take advantage of this opportunity to help in this worthy cause before it is too late." To the above the L.L.D. adds: "Negro and white workers; intellectuals and professionals, must heed the call! Raise your voices in protests and send letters and telegrams to Governor B. M. Miller, Montgomery, Alabama, demanding the release and safeguard of the Scottboro Boys!

This was the decision handed down last week by the State Supreme Court in a case instituted by Chester W. Patterson to compel the authorities to permit his son. Thaddeus, to enter a school pool here with other boys in his class. The attorneys for the school board in the mandamus proceedings contended there was no infringement upon the civil rights of the colored group in the school by refusing them the use of the pool at the same time with white children. They contended further that the divided swimming classes constituted no invasion of any racial rights; and that colored students enjoyed all the advantages and facilities of the schools, and that the protest was fallacious in that it was being construed as an indication of inferiority. Court Overruled the School Board's Contentions The court's decision stated in part: "Although there is no discrimination between the races in the class-room, or gymnasium, the colored youths are not permitted to take swimming lessons except with those of their own race. Such action is discrimination. "Boys or girls enrolled in a class in the public schools of this state are entitled to receive instruction without any discrimination, predicated upon race. To say to a lad you may study with your classmates, you may attend the gymnasium with them, but you may not have swimming with them because of your color is unlawful, discrimination." Under the decision a writ of mandamus was allowed directing the local school board to permit young Patterson to use the swimming pool with his class. The decision in this case was based on the Alexander Civil Rights' Bill, sponsored by Dr.W.G. Alexander, of Orange, when he was a member of the 1921 New Jersey assembly.

THREE STATE SENATOR WARD REBUKED BY NEGRO VOTERS Taken to Task for Statement on Maryland Jim Crow Law Repeal The Independent Voters' League Association of Maryland, in a letter to State Senator David L. Ward, takes him to task regarding a reported statement that the Negroes of the Eastern Shore do not want the jim crow car laws of Maryland repealed. The letter denouncing this statement follows: Honorable Sir: We desire to enter an emphatic protest against the statement ascribed to you concerning the attitude of the colored people of Maryland toward the repeal of the jim crow law of that state. You are reported as saying that the Negroes of the Eastern Shore do not want jim crow repeal. The sentiment of the Negroes of the entire state of Maryland, the Eastern Shore not accepted, on the subject of jim crowism, has never for a moment wavered, and your unauthorized attempt to misrepresent the feelings of our group on this question, presents, in our opinion, either an inexhaustible ignorance of one of the burning questions of the hour, or a deliberate intention to tender a gratuitous insult to our people as a whole. As the executive committee of the Independent Voters' Political Welfare Organization of Maryland, representing the twenty-three counties of the state, we hereby say to you very plainly that neither you nor anyone else has any authority whatsoever to picture the Negroes of any part of Maryland as being satisfied with any form of jim crowism, and we further inform you that our people not only have never been satisfied with the infamous jim crow laws of the state, but we never will be until they are wiped out and forever off the statue books. For this, and other reasons, the statement ascribed to you is nothing less than an insult to the intelligence and manhood of the 200,000 Negroes of the state. In conclusion, may we not also advise you that the colored people of Maryland do not intend to sit by in silence and allow themselves and their vital interests to be misrepresented, if not indeed betrayed by men of your type, and also it will be their policy from now on to hold the representatives of the people to strict accountability for all such damaging and insulting attitudes adopted against them. Very truly yours. JOSEPH L. JENIFER. President. DR. A. D. WRIGHT LECTURES ON "GREAT EXPECTATIONS" AT MORGAN COLLEGE Dr. Arthur D. Wright, president of the Jeanes-Slater foundation, addressed the student-body of Morgan College, Baltimore, on the subject "Great Expectations" at the weekly chapel service on March 8. Dr. Wright stated in his discourse that every youth has a right to expect a college to give him a training that will enable him to utilize whatever talents he possesses and a right to expect the world to utilize his talents when he presents them. In addition to his address, Dr. Wright outlined the work that has been accomplished through the two foundations of which he is president. WOMAN CUT IN FACE DURING FIGHT During an altercation early Thursday evening at 1820 Constitution Court, Northwest, Agnes McGhee, 40, of 1740 L Street, Northwest, was cut about the face by an unknown person. She was treated at Emergency Hospital for laceration of the face. DELEGATION FAILS TO GET AUDIENCE (Continued from page 1) South, the wide-spread jim-crow practices throughout the country and in the very departments of the federal government, making the government a sponsor of jim-crowism. Ninety-seven Organizations Represented The delegation was headed by William Patterson, prominent Harlem leader. It was composed of seventeen Negro and white persons representing 27 organizations with an approximate membership of 500,000, including share cropper unions (South), fraternal organizations, churches, etc., and a number of organizations having both Negro and white members such as the International Labor Defense, and the affiliated unions of the Trade Union Unity League. Most of the delegates were elected at United Front Conferences called in response to the invitation of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights for all organizations willing to fight for the rights of the Negro people to elect representatives to a delegation to visit the President and Governors' Conferences.

Brown, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, as the conservator of that bank instead of appointing one of the bank inspectors, as has been the case with five or six white banks, demonstrates the confidence of the Treasury Department officials in the administrative ability of a Industrial Bank officials. And, too, it shows that this Democratic administration is not bent upon destroying New institutions, as such, as was anticipated many fearful people. The Industrial Savings Bank should remain an institution, although the trend of this administration points to the closing of some of the smaller banks. It has been suggested financial circles that the Industrial should organize with a capital stock of $200,000, and apply for a charter as a national bank. This bank is serving more than 12,000 desi- tors, seventy-five per cent of whom cannot be accommodated at any of the larger banks because the balance carried by them would not be desired by these larger institutions. This bank should be maintained as an inde- pendent institution and not as a branch of one of the larger banks.

Broadened Vocational Courses The Bordentown idea, as set forth in an article in this issue, which embodies a new an of procedure in vocational training, appears to be sound and practical. While there is some doubt in the minds of one of us concerning the efficacy of the methods which are generally pursued at vocationalools, including Bordentown, the idea in the revised plan seems to be looking in the right section; that is, more school, less training, by training is meant an attempt at practical application. Training, that is practice in "doing" rather than in understanding fundamental principles and basic processes, has been carried so far at in many schools—perhaps in most—pupils be making, after a fashion, finished products—furniture, buildings, machinery—without any equate understanding of the why or how behind the processes of construction. It is much as if music schools or teachers began by training pupils "to play," first one piece, then another, without being able toally "read" music, to say nothing of an understanding of the principles of scales, transitions, harmony, counterpoint, and so on. It is true there are persons who can make pretty good showing in playing "by ear," just as certain workmen, after years of practice, can turn out pretty good products by rule thumb or the method of trial and error. But schools, even vocational schools, to be worthy of their names and support, shouldress education, not training. One does not need to go to school to learn how to turn the control lever to start and stop street car, but he cannot possibly understand what is going on in a dynamo, or even an automobile without a considerable knowledge of physics, chemistry, and theoretical mechanics. Nay, more, the mental discipline and clearinking derived from the study, and thorough comprehension, of language or of any science, then biology, will be helpful. In short, while training—practical procedure operation—is valuable and necessary as an including process, it cannot take the place of all, broad, fundamental education.

Colored Schools in the North Colored Schools in the North A few years ago many thoughtful persons were disturbed by what seemed to be an indious effort to establish separate (colored) public schools in Northern states and com munities where there had not been any previous separation. This segregating movement—at first sugarated or disguised in various ways—had actually grown more and more openly avowed insistent, and it seems evident that segregated schools are becoming increasingly common and accepted in the Northern states, especially in and near the larger centers of population. Despite the lack of legal sanction, indeed in some cases in defiance of actual prohibition A few years ago many thoughtful persons were disturbed by what seemed to be an insidious effort to establish separate (colored) public schools in Northern states and communities where there had not been any previous separation. This segregating movement—at first sugar-coated or disguised in various ways—has gradually grown more and more openly avowed and insistent, and it seems evident that segregated schools are becoming increasingly common and accepted in the Northern states, especially in and near the larger centers of population. Despite the lack of legal sanction, indeed in some cases in defiance of actual prohibition (as in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois) separate schools—or at any rate schools attended exclusively by colored children and taught by colored teachers—are well established and meet little or no active opposition. It is not the intention here to argue the pros and cons as to these schools, but to record the fact that here and there determined opposition is being shown, and in some cases the opponents win. At the present time, as our news columns show from week to week, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are the main battle grounds. In each of these states at least one publicly supported school of higher grade has been established which, while attended solely by colored students, is ostensibly not "colored." There is controversy over the question as to whether or not these schools are de facto segregated institutions; but more important still is the question whether or not such institutions of academic or college grade, supported by public funds, serve as precedents and justification of general and complete separation through all levels. Rayford W. Logan, on the staff of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, has contributed two articles on the question to the Journal of Negro Education, edited by the faculty of Howard University. His second article in the January issue is printed in another column. Also in other columns will be found an editorial from the Philadelphia Tribune and an article from the same paper bearing on the questions hereinbefore raised. Since some of our most enlightened thinkers and publicists see in these schools and other growing tendencies to separation a foreboding menace, the matter deserves attention.

The title of the release last week was a decided misnomer—it was not news, digested or undigested. It was in reality one of those broadcasts of generalized, impotent fault-findings that are all too common in our press, editorially and by columnists and correspondents. Like Brother Eatmore, whose sermons Bert Williams used to give us, the "rocks" he "thowed" didn't "miss nobody," nor was it observable who, if anybody, his verbal barrage hit. And to make the matter more striking, by a curious coincidence also usually interesting and informing feature contributor, Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, did the same sort of thing in his "Mosaics." And a still further coincidence was the fact that we carried an editorial explaining that letters from correspondents loaded with impersonal innuendoes or wholesale denunciation would find no place in "Our Mail." To lash out indiscriminately at "Negroes who are always pulling down," and "inconsistent leaders," naming no one nor indeed giving any indication as to who or what is referred to, is too useless and trivial for persons of such admitted talent and erudition as these to indulge in. If a correspondent feels disposed to criticise, catechize or even anathematize any public act and names the actor. The Tribune will try to give it space within the established limit. If any impersonal blasts get in, it will be by inadvertence. The Tribune has a stack of recently received letters, as well as a stack of preachments, essays, homilies, exhortations and what not, that are being held for postage, if the writers are anxious for the return of their brain children to try them on some publication with more space or less particularity. The four colored G.A.R. men who rode in an automobile were the only representatives in the inaugural parade of the survivors of the Civil War on the Union side. The white G.A.R. men refused to participate because of the alleged character of the invitation extended to them, which placed them out of what they regarded as their proper position. Several cars carrying Confederate veterans were in line. Anyway, it was gratifying to note that there was no separate "Colored Division" bringing up the tail end of the inaugural parade as has been the practice for several previous inaugurations. If any reader thinks that some whites do not regard us as full-fledged American citizens, read Joseph H. Rainey's article, "Some New Angles in the Segregated School Fight," appearing in this issue of The Tribune. Cheyney Teachers' College Editorial from the Philadelphia Tribune Cheyney is not a segregated school." During revelation was divulged in visit to the Cheyney State Teachers by Dr. James N. Rule, superintendent Department of Public Instruction to prove this assertion he points out students may attend Cheyney in. He also attempts to prove his. "Cheyney is not a segregated school." This startling revelation was divulged during a recent visit to the Cheyney State Teachers' College by Dr. James N. Rule, superintendent of State Department of Public Instruction. In order to prove this assertion he points out that white students may attend Cheyney if they desire. He also attempts to prove his statement by saying that there is no law prohibiting colored men and women from attending any one of the other State Teachers' Colleges. This statement, coming from Dr. Rule, would impress some people, but The Tribune is not interested in high sounding, beautifully turned phrases, but in actual facts. Dr. Rule also knows what the law provides does not mean anything to the State Department of Public Instruction, if those who control and enforce the law desire otherwise. For example, the School Code provided for thirteen normal schools. Dr. Rule, because he desired to segregate, made Cheyney a State Teachers' College. Dr. Rule knows that under the civil service rules and regulations, a teacher who is qualified with character and ability, should be able to teach in any normal school. That is what the law provides, but Dr. Rule knows that he is not going to enforce the law and permit Negro teachers to teach in any teachers' training school excent Cheyney. The law also provides that there shall be no separate schools based on color or creed, but Dr. Rule, if he knows anything, knows that there are hundreds of schools in the state of Pennsylvania that are set apart based on color. The Tribune believes that Cheyney is rendering some service and we believe that Dr. Hill is fitted to head any state teachers' training school in Pennsylvania; but for Dr. Rule to try to cover up discrimination and injustice by saying that Cheyney Institute is not a segregated school, is ridiculous. By no process of logical, clear cut reasoning may any intelligent mind reach any other conclusion, than that Cheyney was set apart purposely in violation of the law, as a segregated institution. We simply desire to make the record clear, and we don't want Dr. Rule or anyone else to think that the Negro people have not intelligence enough to know that Cheyney is a segregated school, and Dr. Rule saying otherwise, does not make it anything else but what it is. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1933 The Nation is Fortunate in its Present Leader; Partisanship Laid Aside Franklin D. Roosevelt "starts out with the courage of a Mussolini and the audacity of a Hitler"; hence the optimistic dean heads his release—"A Blessing in Disguise." Shakespeare tells that one touch of nature makes all flesh kin. The world-wide depression which holds all mankind in its grip has focused the thought of the oneness of the world and the brotherhood of men. Our own nation is being reduced to the lowest common denominator of basic human needs. Twelve million unemployed cry out in the language of the Lord's Prayer: "Give us this day our daily bread." The millionaire is no longer walling over the loss of his swollen fortune in sight of millions more wretched than himself. The overlords of industry are chiefly concerned with finding work for others rather than making gain for themselves. The nation has come to a realizing sense of the actual situation and is addressing itself to comprehensive schemes of relief and restoration. Franklin Delano Roosevelt has been chosen and proclaimed the leader of the host to guide and direct our destiny in such a time as this. All partisan differences have been laid aside or subordinated to the accomplishment of the main purpose of recovery. Ex-President Hoover, with a fine spirit of patriotism, has placed his accumulated wisdom and experience at the disposal of his successor.

We may not hope to return to where we were four years ago. Mr. Hoover was genuinely and sincerely mistaken when he urged that prosperity was right around the corner. His prediction was based on an outgrown economic philosophy. The day of rugged individuality by means of which huge private fortunes are accumulated is past and gone. Man made the machine which is disputing mastery with the maker. The machine has extolled the superman, and ignored the forgotten man. But in this day of readjustment the creator will regain his rightful domination over the creature which he has made. The rugged individual will find the amplest room for the display of his individuality, but his reward will not be in dollars and cents or any other material units, but recognition that comes from high human service.

THERE'LL BE A CHANGE WITHOUT A REVOLUTION The nation is fortunate indeed that it has a leader who has the wisdom and forethought to bring about the desired change without a bloody revolution. He starts out with the courage of a Mussolini and the audacity of a Hitler, tempered and restrained by the checks and balances of democracy. With Roosevelt, the rich and the poor meet together and he is the guide, philosopher and friend of them all. The crowning claim of the Gospel of Jesus was that the "poor have the gospel preached to them." As outcome of this depression, the rich may not be so rich, but the poor will doubtless be less poor. Comparatively few may have more than they need; but none will have less. A just balance between extreme theories of production and distribution will bring this golden mean to pass. What the twelve million unemployed crave is not so much instant gratification of their hunger, but the assurance that in the future there will be ample work and reward to prevent this calamitous recurrence. This is a program, not merely of recovery but of reconstruction.

RACE PROBLEM ALMOST FORGOTTEN In the midst of the nation's distress we hear little or nothing of races, classes, sex, section, or factionalism. Most of our internal bickering and animosities have given way to the common stress and strain. We have almost forgotten the race problem in face of the universal demand of pity and need. And yet these dark days force upon our attention the special circumstances of a group shut off from the rest by the double bars of race and class. The brunt of depression bears hardest on the man at the bottom. All relief brought to the upper strata lightens the superimposed burden of the man who lies underneath it all. There is no race or color line in relief. No movement in our time has brought about such sympathetic understanding and cooperation between the races as the common pressure of depression. The watch word of relief agencies in all parts of the country is "how can we best feed the hungry, warm the freezing, clothe the naked and succor the suffering?" Religion, creed, race and color are forgotten in eagerness to reach the forgotten man. But the thoughts of the statesman must reach beyond the emergencies of this crisis. In the fullness of time this crisis must needs pass away. Our abundant material and human resources make that result absolutely sure.

When this depression shall have been lifted, where then will the Negro stand in the general economic equation? The economic status of the Negro in our large cities and his future outlook are certainly not assuring. The agricultural conditions seem to be gloomy enough. But the necessities of the case require comprehensive reconstruction of both urban and rural industries. Mr. Roosevelt is committed to a program of such reconstruction, of which the Negro cannot fail to become the beneficiary. After it is all over, the present depression may yet prove to be a blessing in disguise. When this depression shall have been lifted, where then will the Negro stand in the general economic equation?

One Tribune Reader is Enthusiastic Over the New Deal that Roosevelt has Promised Editor, The Tribune: I believe that capitalism has failed and is dead. I do not believe that you can put life into a dead thing, although thousands of persons who believe as I do will hasten to aid in whatever program that President Roosevelt advocates. We will brok no obstructionists, Any person or group of persons who dare to form obstruction to the plans of the new President should merit to be court-martialed and shot beneath the Statue of Liberty. This is no time for squabbles. For long years the masses of all peoples have lain in the slough of despair. At last a savior! The sun begins to break on the eastern skies and mankind awakes in the dawn of a greater and nobler freedom—freed of the strangling hold of those who would control his soul and his destiny, by controlling his wages and the exchange of his necessary goods. There is fear in high places and hope in the low. Behold the "New Deal." J. MAURICE GATES. Thanks Us for Publishing His Letter and Correcting Misleading Articles in White Dailies. Dear Editor: Permit me to thank you for the generous space which you gave in your public-spirited paper, The Tribune, to the open letter written by me in connection with a recent testimonial, at John Wesley Church, given to "outstanding" Federal officials. In view of the misleading and inaccurate information and description, as to this event, which was given in the Star, the Post, and the printed material concerning the testimonial, I appreciate more than I can tell you the opportunity to speak just a personal word through your columns. Thanking you again, and with best wishes for continued success in your worthy efforts to inform the public accurately on subjects of interest, I am Very respectfully, KARL F. PHILLIPS, Commissioner of Conciliation, U.S. Department of Labor. Miss Murphy Brings Up a Vital Matter. Dear Editor: It seems especially fitting that I should say just a word at this time about the Youth Movement and the Young People's Political Study Clubs. Once more we find the attention of the world focused on civic and national affairs; because the economic situation and the new administration are things that vitally affect each one of us. The question naturally arises, How is the Young Negro reacting to the situation, and how does it affect him? Experience has shown us that the Young Negro—as a whole—does not know enough about the situation to react at all. Politics and economics are not things that one can pick up in the midde of the fight, and intrepret intelligently. For that reason, we organized a Young People's Political Study Club so that the Young Negro might learn all those things about politics, civic, national and international affairs that he should know, and that would enable him to interpret present conditions correctly. We are hoping that the more serious minded young people will be encouraged to join our group and learn how they can best be of advantage to their race and country. Se we are asking all young people who might be interested to write us. BEATRICE M. MURPHY, President Young People's Political Study Club, 1017 Euclid Street, N.W. The Editor: I see from the papers that a delegation from the National Equal Rights League called on the president's secretary in protest regarding the president's failure to make special mention of the Negro. It seems incredible that such an intelligent group after constant preaching by the Tribune and other Negro newspapers against segregation, should go to the President of these United States and ask him to mention the Negro apart from instead of as an integral part of the nation. It is admitting inferiority. Another conference is being arranged, this time with the President. May the Tribune, by virtue MUDDLED AS USUAL If the attorneys in the case of the alleged segregation of Miss Doris Weaver at Ohio State University were no clearer in their comprehension and presentation of the matter before the State Supreme Court is the public department of the N.A.A.C.P., which is backing the case, the court will probably wonder what it is all about. The news releases sent out by the N.A.A.C.P. are still muddled, in that in one sentence it is stated that Miss Weaver "was barred from" the home management house; and the next sentence states that the court "ordered her admitted." Then comes this confusing statement: "but attorneys for the university filed and [an] answer contending that the proposal to segregate Weaver in one section of the house was not a denial of her rights." Now these two statements do not hang together at all. To "bar from" and to "segregate in" are entirely different procedures. When I ride from my home in Virginia to my work in Washington, I am not "barred from" but I am "segregated in" the interurban busses. But to make the matter worse, the real facts seem to be (as stated in one N.A.A.C.P. release) that Miss Weaver was neither barred from, nor segregated in, the home management house, but the five white girls, who with Miss Weaver should have made up the quota of six girls in each section, were not permitted to occupy the section with her although the white girls were willing to do so. Now, if the last stated matter is true—and it seems to fit the statement of the president of the university before a committee of the legislature—then what is needed is an order—mandamus or whatever it be called—to permit the white girls to occupy a section of the management house with Miss Weaver. In short, it seems that the white girls were "barred," not Miss Weaver. But as I have before stated in this column, there seems to be something connected with these jim crow cases that makes for confusion of understanding, and hence there usually ensues a flasco or an indecisive result in the courts. Shields By BEATRICE M. MURPHY Are you one of those people who go around bearing other people's burdens for them, and shielding others from the hurts of life? Have you a young son or daughter or some other young person you are interested in, whom you are "protecting" from life? Has it ever occurred to you that you are doing them harm—irreparable harm—and that in the long run, they will blame, rather than praise you for this attitude? You were brought up with one set of ideals and principles. But when you found yourself out in the world, those ideals didn't work. You found life a cold, practical proposition for which you were totally unprepared. You received many slaps in the face because you had not been taught to watch for and avoid them. You were alone and unprotected; and you struck life in the raw. Saw it stripped bare of everything you had believed it should contain. You were disillusioned, hurt. Of course you fought your way out. Came out on top. Today, you are glad that you were thrust into life just as you were; for it developed within you moral stamina—"backbone. It made a stronger, better, more sympathetic person out of you. It was terrible while you were going through with it, but you don't regret one experience, because of the lessons you learned. Yet—here is a young person thrust into the world (and it is inevitable that at some place at some time or other, each of us must meet life face to face) in much the same way that you were. About, perhaps, to go through the same harrowing experiences that you did. About to suffer pain and grief and disappointment. About to have his faith put to a great test. You want to shield him. Want to stand between him and life. Want to protect him from the pain and experiences that would be his. You think you're doing the right thing—and maybe of its influence, persuade this delegation not to repeat this embarrassing mistake. EDITOR'S NOTE—The delegation referred to by the writer was probably the one headed by William Patterson, assembled in response to a call by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, composed of colored and white persons.

Mitchell AN APOLOGY! when this month comes to a close I shall have completed three years of contributory service to Negro journalism. I am conscious of the fact that on many occasions I have permitted matter that was purely personal to creep into this "Digesting the News" column and for these occasions I offer an apology to the editors and the readers. In defense of my actions upon the occasions I have exceeded the bounds of good ethical journalism I wish to offer the following quotation, from the pen of Florence Earle Coates: "Though his beginnings be but poor and low. Thank God a man can grow!" At times certain incidents or happenings in connection with my humble efforts to rehabilitate myself have caused me to use this space in presenting facts of my growth and increasing reader-prestige to my readers all over America, because of a lack of any other suitable medium. Since July, 1931, through the helpful co-operation of the management of the Chicago Sunday Bee, I have conducted a weekly strictly personal' column, "This and That," in which I recorded purely personal incidents, acknowledgements of letters, books, "exchanges" and so forth. And for this privilege I have always maintained the same spirit of gratefulness to the Bee, that a homeless waif would hold towards his benefactor who picked him up when he was homeless, friendless and hungry, giving him shelter and food until the waif could shift for himself. Now, however, that my writings are being used by nearly one hundred publications each week, made up as follows: about sixty, using "Digesting the News"; around fifty, using my weekly book comments; nearly forty, using "Prisons and Prisoners," and an additional forty-old publications published by the progressive Southern Newspaper Syndicate using an exclusive "Kilby" release each week, as well as other features, it becomes necessary that I provide some medium of national distribution in which to record the purely personal happenings that formerly were restricted to the Bee readers only. To supply this demand I am, with the approval of the Bee, supplying "This and That" for "immediate release," to all the papers using any of the above features and thus my readers, in every part of the country, can keep closer in touch with me personally without the necessity of any correspondence on my part, and as the comments in this personal column affects the readers in any particular community the same publisher who uses my other features can also run that particular release of "This and That" which, for nearly two years, has been used exclusively by the Bee. Thus, as I am about to begin my fourth year of journalistic service, I promise that never again will anything of a personal nature be permitted to be used in a space that henceforth will adhere strictly to "Digesting the News" of, and for, racial readers. you are. You've travelled the way. You know what it means. But aren't you being unfair? Have you any right to take away from this person the chance to develop his character? Have you a right to believe that he might not display the same courage that you did? Is there any reason why he should go under any more than you did? Aren't you depriving him of an opportunity to grow and learn? How do you know that his path will lie along the same route as yours, or that his experiences will be the same? How can you tell what life will hand to him? She never hands to two the same. Have you or I the right to shield some one from life? You found it hard and bitter; but you don't regret the experience. Yet we would keep our children and our loved ones in the kindergarten of life reading fairy tales; until when they pass on to a higher grade (because circumstances beyond our control have taken them from us) their minds are so warped and shrivelled that they fail to benefit by their experiences. To live, one must face life in all its aspects. If you are protecting someone from the hurts and truth and sordidness (if you believe it contains all these things) of life, you are depriving him of a chance to learn—to grow—and to live. Don't do it! The wise are rarely proud, even of their own achievements, for they realize that ninety per cent of them comes from luck. IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER TO PUBLISH A BOOK OF POEMS "The verses enclosed are to be included in a small volume, the material for which is being collected from publications in which some of them have appeared," is the gist of a note received by me from Coleman G. Duckett, of Fairmont Heights, Maryland, near this city. Mr. Duckett's verses, because of their simplicity and philosophy promise to become popular among those who are interested in contemporary poetry. His "Vignette" is worthy of being read: Bronze faces; taxicabs "for hire" And pleasure is the code: Seventh Street is fashion-smart, And U is prime tonight. Blind to all but a death-stilled heart heart But I am cursed with sight, To rue the fawn's ignoble plight That flees from the wolverine, But Seventh Street is gay tonight And U is calm, serene. A fluff-blown child, unhampered by A matron stern, or master Asks Love the old, old query: "Why?" And Life replies: "Disaster;" Hears no: the cry of stricken fawn Whose death-wail is a warning: For Seventh Street parades till dawn And U goes home at morning. Smooth young men in silence move Like lean wolves to a feast— In one she sees the mark of love, But I—the gleam of beast; She sees only a dancing light, As a brown moth sees a flame, But Seventh Street is hunting tonight And U is stalking game. She steps within the trap-like door, His laugh was a fated knell— Some hear only a motor's roar, But I—a tolling bell! Other poems by Mr. Duckett will appear in later issues of The Tribune. Some interesting reading of the week as suggested by Clifford C. Mitchell is: Effie Heard's (Columbus, Ohio) report in the January-February Shining Light Survey; "Black and White" by Vladimir Mayskovsky in the February New Masses; A. L. Batchlor's article in the March Rosicrucian Digest; Dr. Rudolph Fisher's story, "Guardian of the Law," and the Harmon Awards sketch, in March Opportunity; "My Kilby Fun," and "Narrow Escapes" sketches in the SNS papers; The Dunjee-Chisum controversy over Congressman Oscar DePriest in the Oklahoma Black Dispatch; WEEK-END MOSAICS By Albernon B. Jackson, M.D. HAIL TO THE COOK The cook of the middle ages was a lordly autocrat, and his scepter, a long wooden spoon, was also used as a means of punishment. A story is told of an Italian prince, who had a Sicilian cook of great excellence, who was once traveling to his estates, taking with him his entire staff of servants and his Sicilian cook. At a point where the narrow path along the precipice turned an angle of projecting rock, a shriek and a splash of a body in the water far below was heard. White with terror, the prince looked back and cried: "The cook! the cook! Holy Virgin, the cook!" When he was informed it was not the cook, but Don Prosdocimo, the prince heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, only the chaplain! Heaven be thanked!" Never was the cook so important a personage as he is today. I have always said a good cook is really a good chemist and today the various discoveries being made go to prove that assertion to be more true than fanciful. Present day experience and records show the almost overwhelming abundance of various and sundry stomach and intestinal troubles from which people are suffering. Many of these conditions are due to overeating and injudicious eating, but a great many are due to poor cooking done by poor and careless cooks. In our present rush we eat hurriedly too often meals that are prepared more hurriedly with the result that the stomach objects to such treatment. Let us have better cooks, better cooking, less hurry and we will have less indigestion and all the horrors which follow in the wake of a maltreated stomach. With sense and care one may eat for health. Why not try it?

And never, forever, love more than One who pursues And one to be everything else to me; One who is willing, COMMUNITY YOUTH FORUM. As this paper goes to press, definite word has reached me that a City-Wide Forum has at last been organized for the benefit of the young people. Up to this time of writing, I have been unable to ascertain just when and where the next meeting is to be held. It is my sincerest hope that definite information regarding place of meetings, etc. will be divulged to all interested persons so that the rapid growth of this infant organization will become an inevitable occurrence. The writer takes this opportunity to offer the best wishes for a successful organization to B. V. Lawson, president, and his capable staff. May good fortune forever follow your foot steps. A QUESTIONNAIRE In place of our usual Youthful Personalities sketch that appears here every week, I am inserting a little novelty—a questionnaire. Yours truly is keenly interested in comparing the various trends of youthful thoughts, and because of that interest, I am appealing to the readers for their earnest cooperation in answering all questions and request answers be mailed to Alvin Webb, Coast Guard, Treasury Department. 1. Who has been the Negro's greatest leader? 2. Name the Negro's greatest present day leader. 3. What qualities do you expect to find in a real leader of men? 4. Are you interested in an extensive study of Negro History? 5. Do you favor the N.A.A.C.P. movement? Explain reasons for or against. THEY TELL ME THAT— A well nown contemporary of yours truly has a mania for seeing his "pitcher" in that well known white weekly...his friends do not deny him the privilege of attempting to gain the w.k. spotlight...but they feel that he should give a little limelight to some of the many personalities that provide him with a seemingly endless "food for thought." I must nominate Bertha (S.E.) Peterson as being the personification of cuteness grace, style and that seldom to be found modesty. Considerable interest has picked up in the current government league b.b. contests at the Y.M. since G.P.O.' took "two on the nose." Money during our spare time. The circulation department of the Tribune wants men and women to sell Washington's foremost products to this office, 920 U. Street, Northwest, between 4 and 7 o'clock, and ask for Mr. Brooks. MORE THAN 170 APPLICATIONS FOR GARDENS Reverting back to the "var garden" idea, the Council of Social Agencies, in connection with the District of Columbia Committee on Employment, is making an intensive drive to locate every available vacant plot of ground in the District, with the idea of obtaining its use for a garden for some unemployed family. The city is being organized by districts, in addition to the government-owned land in the Anacostia flats which was so successfully used last year. Plans for approximately 200 gardens in the Georgetown section were made at a meeting held at the home of Mrs. Henry H. Flather, at which Mrs. Frederick H. Brooke, chairman of the council's garden committee, presided. Ernest H. Daniel, chairman of the employment committee, said that it is probable that his committee can furnish the necessary labor for clearing away plots obtained as a part of the "made work" program it is conducting. Last year the Council of Social Agencies had 68 gardens on the Benning Road and expect to have 150 this year. Wilson Payne was the caretaker last year, and will supervise the gardens this year. The council has more than 170 applicants for gardens for this year. On the government-owned land on Bennings Road the seed and implements are furnished free. On all other plots secure, the council will have to finance them. It requires about $2.50 per garden of 100 x 50 feet. The returns last year from these gardens averaged $75 each. The council is anxious to secure ground in the Deanwood section. Two acres near Burryville school has been promised by the owner for gardens this year. There are eight gardens to the acre, so this would give sixteen gardens on this plot. Applications for gardens are still coming to the headquarters of the council, 1418 I Street, Northwest, and therefore, more land is desired to accommodate every unemployed man. W. R. Beattie, of the Department of Agriculture, who has taken an intensive interest in this garden work, has again volunteered to aid in supervision of the work, but he urges that the gardens be planted as early as possible in order that the tenants may get the benefit of early crops. An organization has been perfected in the Southwest section and plans are under way for forming supervising committees in other sections of the city. PERSONALS Judge and Mrs. James Watson, of New York City, have returned home after spending several days in the capital upon the inauguration and its attending festivities. Louis T. Achille, of Howard University, addressed the Literature Lovers' Club on Sunday evening at the Phyllis Wheatley Branch of the Y.W.C.A., on "Paul Lawrence Dunbar."

Pe ere ee ee ee ee Unknown. ‘The Church is the Negro’s big- gest business. More money is in- vested in Church property by Ne- groes than in anything else, with the possible exception of invest- ments in homes and farms. In addition to ne mon- ey in the Church, the Negro spends considerable time in re- ligious service. A few decades ago most Negtoes spent most of their time contemplating the Di- vine, Of recent times, more and more Negroes have drifted away from the Church, ‘There are two reasons for thé loss of ground by the Church among Negroes. One is thé vapid- spread of education that is divore- ed from religious Auyrerislon, Tie other is the lack of confidence in the Church. In spite of. all short-comings, however; the Chureh has done, and still is doing, @ remarkable ser- vieg to the community. The Church builds character, The Church educates, The Se provides clean teoreation, The Chureh dis- penses charity; and does many other useful services, Education ‘The Church of today must teach men how to live. Those who do ‘not, have the advantages of school ‘training will learn | the simple truths that will make them bet- ter oitizens,. better parents and better Reps They will learn how to safeguard health, They will learn why men must work. They will learn how to be thrifty, to educate their “children properly, and many other things. | ‘The Church teackes many tings, but it places greatest emphasis upon moral character. It teaches the right way to do each thing. It holds up the example of perfec- tion, the life of Jesus Christ, Recreation Negtly every church offers some form of recreation to its members ‘at oné time or another. Church festivals and plays are common everywhere, Some churches have athletic clubs, and incidentally, the Y.M.C.A. was an outgrowth of this movement. Picnics, moving pictures, dra- mas, are forms of recreation that ae sponsored by the Church, In somé cases too, artists’ concerts ‘and pliblic dances ate provided un- der religious auspices.

The chairman elected for the program and service committees respectively are Vivian Perkins and Gwendolyn McCottry. Miss Jennie E. Mustapha, sponsor of the club, read the constitution for the benefit of new members and also called upon the officers of past semester for remarks. The purpose of this club is to be "big sisters" to lower classmen, to be examples for the rest of the school in character and conduct, to strive for high ideals and to work for the betterment of Cardozo." The newly elected officers, who form the executive committee, met on Friday to formulate plans for this semester's program. A cabinet meeting of the Girls' League was held with its sponsor, Miss Mustapha, on Thursday, at which time plans were made for holding a girls' assembly in order to acquaint the new girls of the school with the standards set by the league. Gladys Holland gave a very interesting talk on her experiences as a representative of the student council of the Ellsworth Junior High School, New York City. In a recent girls' assembly, the first for this semester, Constance Lucas, president of the Girls' League, acted as presiding officer and presented other officers of the League, each of whom responded with a brief talk. Willie Butler, the vice-president, recited "Myself," a poem reflecting the ideals of the league. Susie Moore, the secretary, viewed the procedure at cabinet meetings. Katie Lewis, the treasurer, emphasized the need of co-operation on the part of all the girls. Mildred Denmark, the chairman of the committee on standards, explained how her committee will function. Muriel Stuart entertained the girls with two piano selections: "To a Wild Rose" and "Noonlight Sonata." The idea of student government is being carried on at the Cardozo High School. The committee on standards, a group of five members of the Cabinet of the Girls' League, met recently to decide two cases that had come up before them. Mildred Denmark, Gladys Holland, Lillian Goodrich, Cordelia Key, and Vivian Perkins form the committee. No teacher or other persons of authority was present at the meeting, which was held in the office of the assistant principal, Miss Mustapha. A new club, initiated by Cordelia Key, a member of the junior class, has been formed, its aim being to take trips after school and on Saturdays to the various public buildings of the city. The first building to be explored will be the Smithsonian Institute. The meetings at school will be devoted to games, puzzles, parties and various social programs. The officers of the club are as follows: Cordelia Key, president; Elmer Shelton, vice-president; Bernice Brown, secretary; Sumner Johnson, treasurer; and Edward Newman, sergeant-at-arms. The members are: Catherine Brice, Bernice Brown, Dorothy Byrd, Ruth Dixon, Thelma Hill, Cordelia Key, Carrie Nokes, Joseph Hicks, Sumner Johnson, Roland Miller, Edward Newman, and Elmer Shelton. The Cardozo greater orchestra was heard in its first recital for the student body on Wednesday, March 15. The selections rendered were as follows: Dykema's "Contentment,' Offenbach's "Barcarole," and Dykema's "Spanish Dance" by the orchestra; Beethoven's "Minuet," a violin solo by Elaine Butler; Di Capua's "O Sole Mio," a clarinet duet by Romany Lucas and Napoleon Banks; and Thome's "SimpleConfession," a violin solo by Maycta Long. Unusual skill was demonstrated by the participants who have been studying the instruments which they now play for only a period of four months. The orchestra, directed by Felix Weir with Arthur Smith assisting, will make its next appearance in a public recital on May 15. The Girls' Reserve Club under the leadership of Miss R. E. Weatherless and Mrs. R. D. Brooks, started the second semester by formulating plans to be executed by the program service, and social committees. Eola Dublin the president of the club, presided. The social committee, with Edith Williams as chairman, is planning a mother and daughter dinner during May. The service committee, with Gladys Holland as chairman, hopes to create a fund to help make attractive the cafeteria, and to meet any emergency that might arise. The program committee, with Helen Calvary as chairman, will alternate the business and social meetings to provide opportunity for the girls to exercise their talent, and will invite speakers to address the girls on subjects pertinent to their social, physical, and intellectual life. At one of its future meetings the club plans to take in new members. First assistant superintendent G. C. Wilkinson, accompanied by assistant superintendent A. K Savoy, visited Cardozo on Thursday and inspected the work of several classes. Mr. Savoy stated that he was impressed with the quick and quiet manner in which he high school students changed their classes.

A fight to rid the regular public schools of tubercular pupils was launched by members of the Pleasant Plains Civic Association when that body voted Friday night to write a letter to school officials calling attention to the large number of pupils, who ought to be segregated, who are attending regular classes with normal children. One member of the association pointed out that he had definite knowledge of pupils who are attending school and who should be segregated. It was also brought to the attention of members that the Toner Health School was crowded. However, it was said that since it was the law of the District that children between certain ages must attend school, it would be up to the District authorities to provide buildings for children who are found to be suffering from the disease yet are not permitted to attend regular classes with normal children. To Ask Examination The association will ask school officials to examine every child attending regular public schools and those found tubercular excused from further attendance. By doing this it was said that the District will be forced to provide school facilities for pupils who need special care. The association also voted to send a letter to Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superindendent of schools, endorsing Mrs. Carrie Knox as director of community centers to succeed Mrs. Gahrill Pelham who is to resign Miss Knox is at present assistant to Mrs. Pelham. Asks Assembly Hall A second letter was ordered sent to the District Commissioners asking that an assembly hall be built at Monroe School. It was said that a fire hazard exists whenever large gatherings assemble at the school. A letter was also ordered sent to the District Commissioners asking that improvements be made to Fairmount Street between Sherman Avenue and Sixth Street, and Girard Street between Sherman and Georgia Avenues. The association plans to hold a joint card and checker tournament in April with the Parent-Teacher Association of the school. The proceeds will be evenly divided between the two organizations. S. J.

Knight, Jr., the young attorney General of the State of Alabama, son of the Alabama Supreme Court Justice, who wrote the opinion upholding the original conviction of the accused Scottborson boys, expressed great surprise that Alabama's jury system has been challenged. He says that he is now ready to defend it before the United States Court if necessary. That it will be necessary to defend it is conceded by laymen as well as lawyers here. The Alabama Journal published here in the capital city, commented editorially as follows: "Laymen in Alabama have not been especially concerned about where these trials are held, for they have felt that Alabama courts anywhere would give the Negroes a fair trial. But even laymen have been greatly concerned in recent months over so much of the race angles in the case and its handling, which must pass muster before the Supreme Court of the United States. "It may have been a surprise to the Attorney General's Office that this point (the exclusion of Negroes from jury duty) was raised immediately, but it was no surprise to the average citizen. That is the angle of this case which is going to require legal talent and generalship of the highest order." Hitler Bars American Jazz from Germany BERLIN.—Coincident with the election in which his party despise the use of wholesale oppression and terror was unable to elect a majority of the German parliament, Adolph Hitler published a decree last Sunday barring American jazz, especially that by Negro musicians and orchestras, from the air. This policy is well in line with Hitler's philosophy of race hatred and discrimination against minority groups. Hitler has long been an enemy of the Jews and his party has been accused of organizing massacres against them. The policy of barring Negro music is a part of his narrow and nationalistic creed which is directed against all workers. MAN 59. SUICIDE VICTIM With a bullet wound through his head, William Douglass Gordon, 59, 1829 First Street Northwest; was found in a second floor room by his aunt, Rachel Dorsey, early Sunday morning.

No motive for the man's actions could be learned. TICE! NEWSBOYS ENTS TE COLLECTORS MISS BENTLEY IS URGED FOR JUDGESHIP Police Brutality Also Flayed by East Central Civic Association Miss Fay Bentley, attendance officer of the public schools, was advocated for the judgeship of the Juvenile Court of the District of Columbia by the East Central Civic Association meeting last Friday night at Dunbar High School. Because of her qualifications and years of experience as a social worker the association felt that Miss Bentley, if given the position, would be fair in her decisions regardless of race, color or creed. The body went on record favoring the establishment of summer camps for boys and girls by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. The association flayed the recent attack on citizens by members of the police department in which several of the former were assaulted. They named a committee to take up the matter with heads of the Metropolitan Police Department. The committee comprises J. H. Nixon, chairman; Miss Corrine Martin, president of the association; Joseph Gibson, and Mrs. White. The function and activities of the National Legislative Committee, an organization fostering a colored lobby at Congress, was brought before the association by the Rev. J. G. Olden, national organizer. The association went on record favoring the committee with a membership. Frelinghuysen's Legal Clinic is Aid to Social Workers The legal aid clinic of Freling-huysen University Law School has attracted the favorable attention of Washington social workers. The clinic is not in competition with the legal profession. It handles only cases of worthy destitute clients. The senior law students give their time without compensation. Every effort is made to settle cases out of court. The clinic procedure is that the student interviews the clients, makes investigations, and gives correct legal advice. If court action is required, he refers the case to a practicing attorney. He also assists the attorney by drafting the papers, preparing the evidence and interviewing the witnesses. The students act as volunteer investigators for the Washington Legal Aid Bureau. The bureau is a member of the National Association of Legal Aid Organizations of which Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes is honorary president. Cases may be referred to the clinic by the courts, police, attorneys, social workers, public officials and individuals. Much of the clinic's organization work was done by Beverly G. Robinson. Timothy W. Fisher of the District of Columbia bar is director. THE "INAUGURAL" BALL NOT WELL ATTENDED Capital News Service The ball arranged by a special entertainment committee headed by G. David Houston, principal of the Armstrong High School, and a former class mate of President Roosevelt at Harvard University, was very poorly attended on the night of March 4. The function was held at Harding Hall at the Government Printing Office and was attended by about 300 persons. The hall, used for the first time by an organization not connected with the Government service, was withheld from the special entertainment committee until 2 p.m. March 4, by Senator Moses, chairman of the committee which has supervision over the printing office. It was not until the Senate was reorganized and Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, of Florida, succeeded Senator Moses in this capacity, that permission was given for use of the ballroom. Notwithstanding this serious handicap, the decoration committee and their task completed by 8 p.m., and turned a handsomely decorated hall over to Fred D. Wilkinson, chairman of the ball committee.

Founder's Day Observed at Miner Teachers' College Outgrowth of School Founded in 1851; Once a Part of Howard University; Became Public School in 1879 "Myrtilla Miner Day" was celebrated for the first time at the Miner Teachers' College on March 8th. William Lincoln Brown, president of the Miner Fund Board, in making the main address at a special assembly in honor of the day, gave the history of the establishment of the Miner Normal School. Myrtilla Miner, while teaching in the South, was so aroused by the inhuman treatment accorded Negroes that she came to Washington in 1851 to start a school for colored citizens. Interracial Group Meets at Y.W.C.A. The Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. is becoming more popular for meetings of interracial, as well as of our own groups. Saturday there was held at the Y an institute on "The World Today" under the auspices of the interracial committee of the W.L.L. The speakers were: Dr. J. H Gray of American University Opened First School in 1851 When she opened her school on December 3, 1851, she had only one hundred dollars. There were only six students but by the end of the first two years the number had increased to forty. By 1863 the reputation and size of the school warranted Congressional action. It was incorporated as "The Institution for the Education of Colored Youth to be located in the District of Columbia." The school was continued as a part of Howard University until 1871, when, with money obtained from the sale of the original property, the school was moved to a new building at Seventeenth and Church Streets. Entered Public School System in 1879 In 1879 the Miner Normal School became a part of the public school system. Provision had been made in 1873 by Congress for a school similar in nature to Miner. This institution was to be named the Washington Normal School and to be located at the Franklin School Building. Until the board of education contracted with the fund board for the control of Miner the attempt to establish a public normal school had not been carried out. After the speech a response from the graduates was given by Mrs. Willa C. Mayer, director of primary instruction. Carolyn Holloman, '34, responded for the undergraduates. Louia Vaughn Jones, of the Howard University Conservatory of Music, played two numbers, "Praeludium" and "Allegro" by Pugnani-Kreisler, and "Deep River," the composition of Coleridge-Taylor-Powell. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, spoke for a few minutes. The glee clubs of the Monroe School and of the college also participated. Other guests at the celebration were H. H. Long, A. K. Savoy, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, assistant superintendents of schools; the Rev. F. L. A. Bennett, Mrs. William C. McMeill, members of the board of education. Besides President Brown, other members of the Miner Fund Board present were James A. Cobb, Mrs. Caleb Miller, H. C. Gauss, and Miss Mary K. Porter. Pictures Presented New decorations in the building were made possible by a gift of the class of 1918, which on June 20, 1918, presented a Liberty Bond of fifty dollars to the institution. The condition governing the gift was that upon its maturity the money should be used in decorating the building. The pictures of a lion and a tiger Interracial Group Meets at Y.W.C.A. The Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. is becoming more popular for meetings of interracial, as well as of our own groups. Saturday, there was held at the Y. an institute on "The World Today" under the auspices of the interracial committee of the W.I.L. The speakers were: Dr. J. H. Gray of American University; Rayford Logan, assistant to Carter G. Woodson; Dr. Wilhelm Solzbacher, of Germany; William T. Stone of the Foreign Policy Association; Frank Tannebaum, of Brooklings Institute; Dr. Charles H. Wesley, of Howard University, and Miss Dorothy Detzer. A group of about 100 persons were in attendance. The luncheon meeting was held in the cafeteria. A joint meeting of the interracial groups in the city will be held at the Y.W. Saturday, March 18 at 2 p.m. The membership social given last Tuesday evening in honor of the visitors to the city was a successful affair. A program was given. Vesper services on Sunday were sponsored by Mrs. Jessie Corbin and Mrs. Griffin. Vesper service is held every Sun y at 4 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Girl Reserve Department During the present economic situation every organization or department of organization is taking some definite responsibility in relief work. The Girl Reserve Department of the Y.W. is launching a drive for children's, teen-age girls' and women's clothing, such as dresses, shoes, hats, coats, etc., for the gift shop. Thursday, March 30 will be the opening day for friends and visitors to see the beginning of the gift shop. Afterwards the shop will be open three afternoons a week at which time the clothing will be given to needy girls. Any clothing you may have and would like to contribute will be appreciated. CHILD, 3, BITTEN BY DOG Edna Bryant, 3 years old, was hitten by a dog while playing in front of 301 V Street, Northwest. Thursday evening. The child, who resides at 2106 Second Street, was treated at Freedmen's Hospital. which hung in the entrance hall were replaced by two prints which are reproductions of paintings by Gorbatof, a modern Russian painter. They are "Capri" and "The Bay of Venice." In addition, the photograph of Myrtilla Miner which hung in the college auditorium has been reframed and placed in the president's office. It is dated 1875. A new frame was given to the large crayon portrait in the southern corridor. The photograph is the work of Miss Ada C. Hand, a former member of the faculty. The Girls' Social Room has received three large water colors, the gift of Mrs. W. J. Brown, wife of the president of the Myrtilla Miner Fund board. OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER Washington at Random by George T. Waugh STREET SCENE It was one of those beautiful pre-spring days, birds atwittering: tweet, tweet, (I think that's how birds twitter). Well, anyway, it was Thursday, the day that sisters o' the culinary arts take off to do the blocks. Minnie, not Minnie the Moocher, but Minnie of "Shimmy for Me" farme had shaken the dust of the kitchen from her anatomy and was mooching along down U Street. And did she mooch? "I'm sorry, Mister." As she passed a pool-room along the street she was gleefully aware of the impression she made upon the louts who idled about, but she paid no mind to their cat-calls: "Lay it, sister"—Hot scronch"—"Lady, can you spare some time?" Minnie had a date and she wasn't out for no cheap sport, especially when she had money in her purse from a hit on 525, so she ankle scrumptiously along. Before anyone was aware of what was going on, a stooge had grabbed Minnie's pocketbook and went scrambling up the street. "My Gawd!" Minnie let out one whoop, and throwing her dyed rabbit furs upon a fence paling she did a dash that would make Ed Tolan look like he was playing hop-scotch. Did she get her man? Wow-suh! Did she punt the human gong around? Oh my gawd! The last I saw of Minnie she had retrieved her skins from the fence and had gone nonchalanting down the street. Maybe to meet her impromptu gigolo. * * * * VILLAGE CHATTER The very, very popular widow of a late professor, who a few days ago middle aised with another professor, now after five days of married bliss (blast) is seeking a divorce. (What Reno-vacation so soon?) A popular U-Streeter (near tenth) went last week with two comely debts to bid a friend bye bye. Of course trains, and especially express ones, must pull off some time and this is exactly what this one did—but with stow-aways aboard. Our friend came out of the huddle in Martinsburg, W.Va. with an ace in the hole (and, oh, what a hole). But being a true turfsman he was able to get a pass back to civilization. Another chap about the village that we all know well has been out of work all the winter. He gets a job about a week ago and on Saturday nite the big boss gives him a check for his toll—on Monday the banks take a holiday. (If you think that's funny, then laff—I did.) A capital society dowager was being shown through her new home last Monday morn and was to move in that evening. On reaching the bath-room she exclaimed: "Oh, what a lovely bath-room. I can hardly wait until Saturday." (With apologies to the agent who told me.) Herb Moore (my best pal) has a dog around his domicile that he says is some high class breed, but really the animal (I mean the dog) has such flat feet that I think it is a police dog in disguise. SIGNS OF SPRING The main stem adapts a gayer mood—spring is here. The evening parade, a delightful caprice—the young blades of the town looking very dashing in white shoes gay colored cavatts and sport togs—barbers and boot-blacks lounge lazily in front of shops—homing two-somes from school—the shrill laughter of giggling co-eds. Signs in drug store windows: "You Need A Spring Tonic", and over all the air savors of April moistness. For a brief second the street is afftetter—an extremely swank femme in trousers (the first I've seen on U Street), a very sporty jacket and a vivid sanguine colored beret set at a most raikish angle. To further accentuate her cool nonchalance she puffed upon a cigarette with an alcoof unconcern of the eyeing passers-by. Hot zig! HEAR ME A toast lowly to Ralph Jackson, an ex-Chicago lad-who is an agent for the National Henevolent Burial Society of the Masonic Building. He has a new scheme wherein the heavenly-bound can die on the installment plan, ten cents a week. "Mister can I interest you in a casket?" "Who me?" (Pu-lese my operation.)

Brown, Institution, Rem Thirteen Washington Banks Safeguarded Mana Department W.H.C.Brown, President of the Institution, Remains in Control Thirteen Washington Banks Now Running Under Such Safeguarded Management; Treasury Department Explains Retires After 64 Years of Service: Edward Savoy Honored by President By Laurence J. W. Hayes Edward A. Savoy, 77-year-old colored doorkeeper of the Secretary of State, was received at the White House Saturday morning by President Roosevelt who personally expressed his appreciation of the service rendered by Mr. Savoy, during his sixty-four years of continuous service and his wishes for a happy spending of the remainder of his life. Mr. Savoy began his career in the State Department in 1869, when Elihu B. Washburne was secretary. He served as messenger to the Paris Peace Conference of 1898, was appointed chief messenger of the Department of State in 1901, was appointed a clerk (class one) by executive order in 1915, and clerk (class two) in 1921. However, he continued to act as doorkeeper. Savoy was retired on August 31, 1931, while receiving $1620 a year. His retirement pay is $98 a month. Secretary Stimson, however, saw fit to pay from his own pocket the additional $35 monthly, to retain the man who is known the world over as a master tactician who has developed "a technique of service at a most difficult crossroads of official traffic." The President ordered a White House car to the State Department to convey Mr. Savoy to the White House and, after the conference with the President, he was conveyed to his home. Ranked as Clerk Mr. Savoy was the proud recipient of a beautiful and comfortable armchair, a presentation from the colored messengers of the State Department. He was the only colored person who ranked as a clerk in the Department, but only a small percentage of the colored personnel knew that. His co-workers also presented him with a bouquet of red and white carnations. In addition to that, employees of the department presented him with a well filled purse. It was a memorable day for Mr. Savoy last Saturday, and the writer agrees with the editorial writer of the Evening Star who wrote: "It was fitting that honor should be paid to this faithful servant of the nation on the occasion of his retirement. It was particularly appropriate that President Roosevelt should send an official car to bring him to the White House and express personally his appreciation of the service rendered during this long period and his wishes for a happy retirement in the evening of his life. "Such tributes are not too great for so long and so useful a career, however humble the station that has been occupied." Mr. Savoy lives at 503 Twenty-fourth Street, Northeast. Mr. Savoy is the father of six children, three of whom are living; they are A. Kiger Savoy, assistant superintendent of the public schools of Washington, Mrs. Edith Savoy Morgan, teacher in the Burrille public school, and Dr. Sevellon Savoy, a practising dentist here. There are four grandchildren. James A. Jackson Returns to Desk After Brief Illness James A. Jackson, business specialist in the Department of Commerce, returned to his desk Friday after having been continued to his home with illness since February 24. Mr. Jackson has been ill since returning from a trip to New York where he attended a meeting of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League. Many inaugural visitors called at his office to see him. His illness also prevented him from attending the testimonial dinner given by the citizens of Washington on March 6. However, he was forwarded a souvenir medal of service by the committee in charge of the testimonial. THEATERS SPORTS NINE SERVATOR wn, President of the Remains in Control Banks Now Running Under Such Management; Treasury artment Explains cab. Thirty-three of the Washington banks are now opened—twenty licensed and thirteen under conservators. The last call on December 31 showed total deposits in all banks of the city of $255,194,596. The twenty licensed banks had $209,-849,145; the thirteen conservator banks had $52,345,451, that is, about twenty per cent of the deposits of the District are in the thirteen banks now operating under conservators. W. H. C. Brown, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, has been appointed conservator of the Industrial Bank. Confidence in Conservators An article in the Daily press, from a high financial source, said: "The confidence of Treasury Department officials in the administrative ability of District bank executives was reflected in the selection of the men who will act as conservators of the banks which have not yet been licensed." Secretary of the Treasury Wood- in said: "It is for the purpose of insuring that the banks will be put in apple-pie order, pending reorganization or other necessary processes, that conservators in many cases are named. "Moreover, this method makes it possible that the bank so circumstanced will be able to continue to render service, as, for example, the receiving of deposits to be segregated and kept in cash or invested in Government bonds and such like securities. It also enables the conservator to set aside and make available for withdrawal by depositors and payment; to other creditors on a ratable basis such amounts as in his opinion is safe to use for this purpose." Duties Are Two-Fold. The immediate effect of the placement of the thirteen institutions in conservatorships will be to freeze all assets. Then the conservators begin their work. Their primary duties are two-fold. They are: 1. To protect to the utmost the interest of depositors. 2. To reorganize and to restore those banks which are basically sound, but whose assets are temporarily frozen. While this process is going on, the conservator and the Comptroller is empowered, under the emergency banking bill, to do the following: 1. The conservator is enabled to set aside for withdrawal by depositors on a ratable basis such amounts as the Comptroller says may be so used safely. 2. The Comptroller is permitted to allow banks under conservators to receive new deposits; which would be segregated and subject to withdrawal without restriction. Conservators Confer The conservators of the various banks held a conference Wednesday night with the Treasury officials, which Mr. Brown attended. He states that they are all restricted from giving out statements of any kind. He also stated that he could not say just how soon the Industrial Bank will open on the unrestricted basis. This does not mean that there is anything wrong in the management of the thirteen banks controlled by conservators. As soon as the situation clarifies it is expected that all of the banks will be open for all kinds of business. There are three national banks here operating on the restricted plan with conservators in charge. Wilkinson, Wormley and Haynes Attend Conference in New York Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools; Smith Wormley, principal of Randall Junior High School, and Harold Haynes, principal of Browne Junior High School, spent the week-end in New York City attending the conference of junior high principals from the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island. They returned Sunday night. TAXI DRIVER ROBBED OF $5 Oscar Ward, 401 M Street, Northwest, taxi driver, reported to police.

The bandit escaped in a passing taxi- Berry A. Claytor Compiles Index of Chinese Works in the Library of Congress Work Required Knowledge of Chinese Language Which Has Been Self-Acquired; Has Been in Library Since 1926 Berry Armstrong Claytor, who resides at 1515 S Street, North- west, has done a notable piece of work for the Library of Congress. The official index card of the library lists the work thus: "Title Index to Independent Chinese works in the Library of Congress, Third Edition. Newly compiled under direction of the Division of Orientalia, Library of Congress, 1932. "Index was brought together by Mr. B. A. Claytor." ly used. In this connection some of the ordinary characters are stumbling blocks to most Occi- dentals and Chinese as well. "It is interesting to note Mr. Claytor's opinion concerning the continued use of this seemingly baffling system. He sums up the matter in this wise: "This system has been in use more than 200 years. Its value has been proved by its adoption and general use throughout the length and breadth of China Ja- The Library' Statement A statement issued by the library concerning the compilation is as follows: "The Chinese titles used in preparing this Index are written vertically on the right edge of regular 3 x 5 inch library catalogue cards. The first edition gave little information beyond the bare title of a work. In this third edition almost every entry, has complete bibliographical information following the title. "The cards are arranged by the number of strokes in the first characters of the title. Different characters having the same number of strokes are arranged in the order of the 214 radicals under which they are classified. Titles having the same initial characters are arranged in the order of the number of strokes and radicals in the second character and so on. "The count of strokes follows that of the famous dictionary of the Emperor K'ang Hsi, the K'ang Hsi tzu tien, published in 1716 A.D. and still considered to be the standard dictionary. The classification followed is that of P. Poletti in his Chinese dictionary published 1896. The radical classification of Poletti i. the same as that of K'ang Hsi but instead of grouping characters by the radical stroke method he uses the radical sub-rated grouping. "The cards in this arrangement are slipped on frames, especially made for this purpose, so that only the portion bearing bibliographical information is exposed to the eye of the camera. This, says Mr. Claytor, is the most tedious operation of all." The negatives of each frame are made natural size, about 13 x 16%, the positives are reduced to about $10\frac{1}{2} \times 6\frac{1}{4}$. Each frame is a page, holding from 25 to 30 cards. An Expert in Chinese Chirography "Many Chinese as well as Occidentals have no little difficulty in ascertaining the number of strokes in a given character or determining which of the 214 radicals it is classified under. This appears to be no great task for Mr. Claytor. He knows, at sight, the number of strokes and the radicals, by number sequence, of most, if not all of the commonly used characters and many of those not so frequent- OHIO STATE UNIV. SECREGATION CASE AWAITS DECISION COLUMBUS, O.—(N.A.A.C.P.)—The Ohio supreme court still has the case of Miss Doris Weaver under consideration, although it heard arguments more than two weeks ago. Attorneys for Miss Weaver, headed by Charles White, of Cleveland, and all retained by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, are hopeful that the court will rule for their client. Miss Weaver was barred from the home management house at Ohio State University. The court then ordered her admitted, but attorneys for the university filed an answer contending that the proposal to segregate Miss Weaver in one section of the house was not a denial of her rights. The hearing two weeks ago was on this point. The attorneys are serving without fee in the case and the expenses are being borne by the Columbus branch of the N.A.A.C.P. which has contributed $32, the Cleveland branch, which has paid $32, and the national office of the N.A.A.C.P., which has given $50. The New York Renaissance and the Geltics (white), will clash here March 29 at the Washington auditorium.

In this connection some of the ordinary characters are stumbling blocks to most Occidentals and Chinese as well. "It is interesting to note Mr. Claytor's opinion concerning the continued use of this seemingly baffling system. He sums up the matter in this wise: "This system has been in use more than 300 years. Its value has been proved by its adoption and general use throughout the length and breadth of China, Japan and Korea and in certain parts of Annam. Any literate person from any part of the three countries named is familiar with the system and can consult the Library of Congress Catalogue of Chinese books with ease. This cannot be said of other systems. "The romanized systems were devised by Occidentals and are used principally by them. They are more of a hindrance than a help to Orientals. Among the recent systems to be advanced (they number some 40 or more) that of Wong Yun-vu has received the most attention. So far, comparatively few scholars, Oriental or Occidental, have made much use of it. "In order to facilitate its use three features have been introduced in this edition. "First, a romanized index (Sir Thomas Wade's System) of initial characters of titles has been prepared. "Second, an index of the initial characters of titles arranged according to the Revised Four-corner Numeral System of Wong Yun-wu. These indexes are designed to make it easier for those users of 'Stroke Index to Titles of Chinese Independent Works in the Library of Congress,' to whom the counting of strokes seems arduous or puzzling. "Third, the initial characters occurring in titles are placed on the right-hand margin of the page or which they occur where they serve as guides. The number of strokes in the initial characters, in addition to the guide card at the upper left-hand corner of the page is indicated on the right-hand margin. Howard Law Graduate "Mr. Clayton, when quite young, came to Washington, where he attended the public schools, afterward graduating from Hampton Institute and the Howard University Law School. On April 8, 1926, he was appointed to the Division of Documents, Library of Congress, filing document serials received from all countries of the globe. Here he found that his knowledge of Spanish and a smattering of French stood him in good stead until later he was assigned to assist Dr. Tyzogaburo Tanaka in the preparation of some Japanese documents for binding. "These unintelligible characters threw out a challenge which he could not resist. There was something fascinating in them. Dr. Tanaka who is now librarian at Taihoku Imperial University, Taiwan (Fomosa) Japan, gave him a few pointers on pronunciation and the Kana. Served in World War "From this he began to study the language. He had been studying hardly five months when he resigned to enlist in the 351st Field Artillery in which unit he served from December 12, 1917 until March 29, 1919. "After coming out of the army Mr. Clayton was immediately appointed (April 2, 1919) in the Library of Congress in the Division of Accessions. Soon a large shipment of Chinese books was received and he was assigned to the work of unpacking this shipment and arranging the books on the shelves. His memory of the characters common to both Chinese and Japanese which he learned during those five months of 1917 enabled him to accomplish this task with little effort. "Dr. Walter T. Swingle of the Department of Agriculture, at that time the guiding hand of the Chinese and Japanese collections was well pleased with his work. "Mr. Claytor was transferred to the Catalogue Division for service with the Chinese Collections. Later upon the organization of the Division of Orientalia under Dr. Arthur Hummel a distinguished Chinese scholar, Mr. Claytor was made his assistant. Self-Educated in Oriental Languages "Imediate after his transfer, Mr. Claytor gathered up some old text-books, dictionaries, etc., and began his studies in Chinese which 21 Replies TO ONE WANT AD YOU, TOO, CAN GET EXCELLENT RESULTS Simply Phone Pot. 1667 LOWEST RATE IN OUR HISTORY OUR COLLECTOR WILL CALL have been self-conducted. His records show that up to June 30, 1932 the Chinese works, exclusive of other East Asian books that have passed through his hands number 8,612 titles comprising 104,177 volumes, about 98 per cent of the present total number of volumes in the whole collection. "Dr. Hummel has written as follows: "There was issued in October 1932 a revised photostat Title Index to Independent Chinese Works in the Library of Congress. This constitutes the Third Edition in two volumes of 453 pages, plus 40 pages of supplement. It contains a total of 13419 entries, and represents all holdings of the Chinese collection in the Library of Congress prior to July 1, 1982." "The cards were assembled and the titles photostated by Mr. B. A. Claytor of the Division of Orientalia, to whom all credit is due for the merits of this laborious compilation. The titles are grouped in the order of the number of strokes required to write the initial character, these groups being then ordered after the manner of the 214 radicals. "Title entries are followed by the name of the author or compiler; the dynasty in which he flourished; his cognomen, pseudonym, or posthumous name; the number of volumes or chapters; alternative titles; brief notes calling attention to prefaces, or supplements, date of printing, name of publisher, etc. "For readers who prefer to locate titles by the romanized system of Sir Thomas Wade, or the four corner numerical system' of Mr. Wong Yun-wu these additional indexes have been provided."

The Y.M.C.A. organization in these countries includes young men and boys of all religious faiths and of all races. Mr. Smith has been in close contact with cross tides of nationalism, the conservative forces of ancient faiths, and the conflicting aspirations of occidental interests. He has been surrounded by the ardent forces of independents in India and in Egypt, and has watched the growing Zionist movement in Palestine. These powerful movements create the changing situations in which the Y.M.C.A., under Mr. Smith's leadership, is adopting its program of service to youth.

Phone, Decatur 3-5-5-4 Charles Edward Russell Speaks on Race Prejudice Charles Edward Russell, journalist, author and lecturer, addressed the Columbia National Forum at the Whitelaw Hotel, Sunday on the subject of "Race Prejudice." The speaker began by citing some first-hand knowledge of the Bushmen of Australia, supposed to be the lowest type of the human family. He denounced the absurd doctrine of race superiority or inferiority by claiming that no superior race exists. Mr. Russell said: "Prejudice is historic action based on economic gain, and has tricked down from tribal hatreds fired by imperialistic competition. "Hatred is the most expensive luxury in the world and those who hate are more injured than the hated." He added that colored people should not accept any form of inferiority, but should develop group consciousness. Next Sunday afternoon, at the Whitelaw Hotel, William Stevenson, will speak to the forum on "Self Appreciation." The public is invited. Inter-racial Meeting Called for College Students NEW YORK, N.Y.—(Special)—A conference of students from Negro and white colleges to consider problems of the Negro student, and to acquaint white students with Negro student problems has been called to meet here April 15 to 17. It is planned for the conference to consider the special problems of students in Negro colleges and also the problems of Negro students in mixed colleges. The relation of white students of these problems and the ways in which they can aid in their solution are also to be considered. In an official call issued for this conference, it is stated: "Action on the problems facing the Negro students throughout the country has become imperative. Recent developments in the American economic system are clearly undermining the whole educational structure. "The Negro student body is af- fected particularly by these developments. Historically, the education of Negro youth in America has labored under discriminatory conditions and policies; in the present crises, these conditions spell disaster for the Negro youth." Detailed information about the conference may be had by writing to Miss Sylvia O. Segall, 5000 Broadway, New York, secretary of the Committee for the Conference on Negro Student Problems. Clarence Muse Speaks at Howard University Clarence Muse, renowned movie actor and song composer, who is appearing at Howard Theatre this week, was presented to the student body of Howard University Thursday afternoon in the Rankin Chapel.

He emphasized the fact that hardly any fan mail is received by movies stars from colored patrons, whereas thousands of letters, asserting approval or disapproval, are sent by other fans. He sang his own composition, "Sleepy Time Down South" which was received with vociferous applause.

Washington must be listed among the ten first Americans because of his contribution to education and civilization. Defended So-Called Frills The keynote of the conference was "facing new frontiers." Concerning the recent avalanche of criticism against so-called frills in education, the body sounded a note of warning that most of what the public considered frills was not frills, but a fulfillment of the needs of present-day education. False economy was deplored and the danger of carrying the retrenchment program too far was stressed. Just as America had faced and conquered new frontiers in her development so would leaders in education have to expand through meeting and development of its new frontiers.

Mu- Negro Life, One of Modern Drama Mood, Says Dr. Miller BALTIMORE, Md.—The development and presentation of plays by and about Negroes has been one of several interesting moods on the modern stage. Dr. Anna Irene Miller, white, professor of English and drama at Goucher College, told an audience at the Druid Hill Avenue Branch Y.W.C.A., Tuesday. Dr. Miller, as the March speaker, presented by the committee on education, talked on "How to See a Play." She called particular attention to the rise of the Negro theme in present-day drama noting such white playwrights as Eugene O'Neil, Paul Green, Richard Tower, who used the Negro in their plays She spoke, too, of the work done by Willis Richardson, Jean Toomer, Georgia D. Johnson and others. "The Emperor Jones" was the play which made Eugene O'Neill, Dr. Miller told her audience, and served to introduce two of the greatest colored actors, Charles Gilpin, now deceased, and Paul Robeson, who is slated to play the movie version. Howard Players Lauded Noting colored little theatre groups, she lauded the work of the Howard University Players fostered by Montgomery Gregory while professor at Howard, in conjunction with Alain Locke, and their joint study of Negro drama in "Negro Life in the Drama." She said that a noted critic, who had seen both the passion play, at Oberammergau, and "Green Pastures," said that the latter had been done with greater sincerity and he believed more fully expressed the great Christian theme. Dr. Miller's talk was by no means confined to a discussion of the Negro in drama. She covered the structure of plays, the forms of dramatic art, the relation of drama to life, and noted other moods in modern drama, among which were extreme realism, symbolism, expressionistic plays, fantasy, the little theatre movement, and the emphasis on folk-lore. Dr. Miller was introduced by Miss Mae Miller, supervisor of English in the junior high schools, who also has made definite contributions to dramatic art both as a playwright and as a member of the Kriga Players, Baltimore's little theatre group.

ATTORNEY, DEAD BALTIMORE. — Charles Henry Bond, father of Roy S. Bond, prominent Baltimore attorney and Elk, died at the Provident Hospital on Tuesday afternoon after a brief illness which began in Bethel Church during the DePriest address to the forum. Mr. Bond was born at Forest Hill, Harford County, Md., the oldest of four sons, another of whom survives, James Bond, at Towson. He was twice married, his second wife being Deborah R., mother of Roy. A farmer of Fairview, Negro settlement of the county, he early became closely connected with the local A.M.E. Church, which he served both as trustee and steward. He and his wife kept open house for the many visiting clergy and presiding elders, as well as teachers. It was largely through the influence of these visitors, who included the late Bishop Gaines the Rev. D. G. Hill, the Rev. Jenifer, that an ambition for education more than that afforded by the little school established by the Freedmen's Aid Bureau, whicheir son attended, was fostered. Sent Son to College Influenced by Miss Emma Hebbins, one of Howard's first graduates, Mr. Bond through the sale of farm produce was able to start his son at Howard University, from which he and his wife witnessed his graduation as class salutatorian in 1911. Three years later Roy finished the law department, at which time his father took his first automobile ride, on the occasion of his graduation. He held the hand of his son when he was sworn in as a member of the Maryland bar at Annapolis. During his son's collegiate career he had aided his father after obtaining a position in the document department of the Congressional Library, a post once held by Paul Laurence Dunbar. After he began his practice the old couple made their home with their son in Baltimore, where Mr. Bond joined Bethel A.M.E. Church and the order of Elks. Funeral services will be held Friday at 2 p.m., at Bethel, with the pastor, the Rev. A. C. Clark, officiating, assisted by the Rev. J. W. Waters, of Sharp Street M.E. Church, the Rev.

On the Merry-Go-Round On the Merry-Go-Round MY APOLOGIES for bursting into print after a year's silence, and at a time like this when the purple pall of Lent has descended, to say nothing of that ashen hue which lack of funds or the fear thereof leaves. Fact is, the social whirl is at almost a standstill. At that I am a week late because I made you a solemn promise last year to tell you about the Chanticleers in their annual crowing. You know all about that now, but did you know that their gorgeous roses came from a Charles Street shop, so they say? That some of the hubbies indulged in such "high" spirits at the dance that they could not make the breakfasts and what not afterward? That that LeRoy Clay, in his "cellar de luxe" was among those holding forth at the dawning afairs? That Jennie P. Grinage also hostessed a bunch of guests. Ditto Beth Saunders? That folks at the Marshall-Ralph Bright cocktail sip would not tell That Lota Lewis Nickens, winsome widow, was being danced pau-lenty by Dr. W. E. Swinson, popular dentist of Reading, Pa. who was down for the affair? **** EVENING HIGH GRADS celebrated commencement week with two social affairs, both at Odd Fellows' Hall. They were guests of the fourth year class on Monday evening, and on Thursday after commencement exercises were hosts to their friends and the faculty at a gala reception. Among those seen about at the affair were Principal Herbert M. Frisby, all smiles after a strenuous closing program; Vice-Principal Allen Collick, who though dropped with the budget slashing program, carried on to the end in assisting grads to check up their records; Sheldon B. Hoskins, valedictorian, lending grace to the dancing; Susan Booze, salutatorian: Gladys J. Aquilla and her husband, Samuel, who will graduate with the next class; Robert D. Sutman, who as oldest brother assisted a large family to grow up and out, resumed his studies and achieved his diploma. Other grads to whom we dedicate palms were Mrs. Dora Datcher, a widow, with five kiddies, one of whom has been ill in a children's hospital for over two years; and Mrs. Irene Darkens Wilson, wife of W. Llewellyn, who also carried studies and the care of a large number of kiddies along simultaneously; both made honor rankings. Honorable mention also goes to the home nursing department who gave up their annual frolic at Odd Fellows and devoted the funds to provide carfare and means for unemployed classmates to complete the course and take part in the closing exercises. As a fitting climax to the festivities Principal and Mrs. Herbert M. Frisby were "at home" to the faculty and graduates on Sunday afternoon from four to seven at their Druid Hill Avenue residence. In the receiving line with the principal and his wife / were Mesdames Marvis Evans, Carolyn Fletcher, Clarissa Jenkins, Marguerite Dorsey, Ellen Banks, Miss Mabel Chandler, and Elmer Hawkins, Others who assisted in entertaining the guests were Russell Frisby, Misses Ruth Russell, Elizabeth Woodland, Mrs. Alice Keys, Mrs. Viola Chisholm. 1 2 3 THE EXCELSIOR CLASS of the Sharp Street Community House celebrated its third anniversary with a dinner party last Thursday evening in the cafeteria of the building with Edward S.

Last Friday evening the group held forth at the home of the president with a card and bingo party, with novel prizes in the form of groceries, such as a dozen eggs, sack of flour, mayonnaise, and other utilitarian trophies. Rumors of separations and divorces are rife. One is going the rounds that a prominent couple have agreed to disagree and will call it a "trial and error" between now and rosetime. Another is that a youthful and recent bride has gone home to mother for an indefinite stay. Speaking of divorces reminds me that Ethel Press Madison filed suit last week against James Madison charging desertion. And there may be a sequel to that story. All are not rifts on the social horizon, however, for they do say that Marjorie Lynch, social worker, with the Family Welfare, and Lawrence Palmer, boys' work secretary at the Y.M.C.A., will tell it to a parson around Easter-tide, and that a charming apartment is being made ready for the event. Wilbur Brown, of Philadelphia, was visiting Anne Carson over the week-end. The Roy Bonds, and Mrs. Lilian Lottier journeyed up to Havre de Grace last Friday evening to the annual declamation contest at which Mr. Bond awarded the Deborah Bond medal.

He saw Miss Myrtle Carden, one time director of the Community House here, and visited Chicago and the fair grounds en route home. Roland Jones, formerly of Baltimore, but now of New York City, visited here over the week-end. Accompanied by Mrs. Loshall Short, Misses Madeline and Jean Gosnell, and William Carter, he motored to Washington, Sunday afternoon. "Lil" Dotson, now doing social work in D.C., was over for the week-end. And wasn't it unfortunate that the Morgan basketball boys lost all their possessions such as frat pins, money, watches, and other valuables last Friday night when they played a team in Chester, Pennsylvania? The Baltimore Girl Friends are planning a benefit performance of three one-act plays to be given the last week in April and followed by a dance. Vivien Marshall, Dotty Bostic, Mabel Spaulding, Anita Wheatley and Marian Short are the members with heads together over plans for the affair. About the same time the Epsilon Omega chapter of the A.K.A. Sorority will stage a card party for their scholarship fund. Meanwhile their regional conference convenes in Washington next Friday, with a formal on Friday evening and the business session on Saturday. Baltimoreans planning to attend are Edna Over, Mabel Spaulding, Vi Wilson, Mabel Locks, Guinivere Thomas.

Winners at jig-saw puzzles and a newspaper game were Mesdames Mary Rodman, Wm. J. Morsell, J. Logan Jenkins, with Miss Kelly receiving the guest trophy. The club held a tag week to raise funds for shoes for needy school children. Their next meeting will be Monday evening with Mrs. Rodman. Mrs. John T. Gunn entertained the Inter-Urban Bridgettes last Wednesday night at her Arlington Avenue home. Several extra guests. The Matinee Ensemble is planning as their annual birthday celebration an indoor picnic about the GOD NEEDS MAN AS MAN NEEDS GOD SAYS RABBI Christians Should Live Up to Their Doctrines, He Tells Critic BALTIMORE, Md.—In a lively discussion following his talk on "What Has Religion to Say?" Rabbi Morris S. Lazeron stated in answer to a query as to why Jews did not accept Christ, that when Christians live up to the teachings of Christ, then they can ask the Jew why he does not accept Jesus. In answer to a question, "Has religion the same message for the old as for the young?" the rabbi pointed out that the so-called freedom of the youth of today is not really freedom but a greater frankness and openness. "Your fathers did the same things that you did," he declared, "but they did not talk about it. It is no new thing to break the seventh commandment. It has always been done." For youth to be really free, he continued, they must attack some of the problems of the day and find new solutions for the relief of world perplexities. In answer to a question by the forum president, Miss Juanita Jackson, as to the ultimate conquest of religion in face of such odds, particularly the unbelief of the day, Rabbi Lazeron said simply, "My dear, I think that you are an answer to that question, but—" applause drowned out the remainder of the answer. In his address he said in part: "You can not build a world and forget justice, brotherhood and God. God needs man just as man needs God. He needs him to carry on His work Man," he declared, "cannot fully comprehend God, because of his human limitations. Man's concept of God is always growing as his experience widens." Make God's Kingdom Now "The old religion," he said, "used to offer Heaven as ample reward for all privations in this life. Religion today must say to man, 'Don't bother about the after life. Make God's kingdom now.' "If there ewer was a time," he said, "when religion had anything to say, it is now, when the world has been built up on the idea of profit; when nearly one-half of the people in the world are partially or totally dependent upon charity. It is not enough for religion to denounce, to castigate and flay, but it must declare in the name of the living God, that these things must not happen again. It must demand the equal distribution of man's labor." "Religion offers the only way out. We have tried law, force, fear and have failed. Now we offer the way of religion, justice, human brotherhood of God, the father, with all men, Catholics, Protestant, Jews, white and colored, all races and all creeds, as true believers, not as lash worshipers." The speaker was introduced by Maceo Howard. Miss Georgia Lawrence, noted contralto, entertained the audience during the musical program with several selections in her own inimitable manner. Among her numbers were "Homing," "By the Waters of Minnetonka," "Trees," "Birth of Morn," "Cheer the Weary Traveler," "Ride on, King Jesus," "Tramping." She was accompanied by Mrs. Herndon White. "The Bells of Notre Dame," and other selections were sung by the young people's choir with organ numbers by Luther Mitchell. Court Rules Against Damage Suit in Death of Negro Convict GOLDSBORO, N.C.

Man Held in Death of Taxi Driver BALTIMORE. — Mack Neville, 34, when arraigned in the Northwestern District police court Monday, admitted shooting Oscar Goldstein, 24, white taxi driver, early Sunday morning in the 1800 block of Etting Street, over an argument about twenty cents overcharge. Neville, who was arrested in the 1300 block Stockton Street by Sergeant Koch and Lieut. Gatch, late Sunday night, said that he had been drinking. When the cab in which the accused and a young woman were riding stopped in front of the Etting Street destination, Neville refused to pay the charge of 45 cents including twenty cents for waiting time in addition to the regular twenty-five cent fare. Witnesses, among whom was a ten-year-old girl, who identified the slayer, stated that he struck the driver with his fist whereon the taxi man obtained a crank handle from his cab. His passenger backed away drawing his pistol, meanwhile, and shooting the driver in the head. Neville and his young woman companion then ran in different directions, as the driver fell. Goldstein was pronounced dead at the Provident Hospital. Second Youth Held Charles Johnson, 18, 704 N. Vincent Street, was held following the death of Ruth Brown, 800 block of Bruce Street, whom he is charged with slashing with a razor at 740 Vincent Street. ATTENTION ATTENTION!

WEBB With the coveted city and South Atlantic titular claims safely tucked in their treasure chest, Armstrong's basketball champs are clearing a space in their trophy cupboard and at the same time are entertaining fond hopes that the interscholastic tournament at Hampton, March 17 and 18, will reap the riches, for them, as did the recently ended season. Having taken twenty-four verdicts in twenty-eight starts and having chalked up 255 points to their enemies' 168, accounting for the award of the aforementioned city and South Atlantic titles, the Generals are prepared to hold their own regardless of the caliber of cage methods used by their potential nation-wide opponents. Quartet of Stars In Renny Logan, Fye Hayes, Joe Hager and Joe Hall, Coach Westmoreland boasts a quartet of basketball toters equal to any that has ever graced the Orange and Blue of the P Street institution. Moreover with Geese Mitchell, Julian Harrison and Ralph Quarles at the guarding posts, in addition to the previously mentioned four, the spectators who journey to the Old Dominion town for the tournament are in for thrills galore. As cool in temperament as the Blue and as vivid as the Orange in their floor work the Generals should not experience great difficulty with their interscholastic and country-wide antagonists, providing old lady fate decides to be natural and not shine her favors in any direction. Won in 1929 Should 'the Westmorelandmen, nevertheless, return with the spoils of the victors, it will be the second of its kind bestowed upon them, having won similar laurels in 1920. Incidently, the Manual Trainers have represented the District of Columbia each time in the two years' existence of the tourney. And while they have split even in the rewards they have, however, acquitted themselves in creditable style both times. Now for the third time a Westmoreland-coached aggregation prepares to seek greater distinction for the Orange and Blue in the field of sports. May their attempts reap successful results.

NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD MINER TEACHRES WIN TWO IN ROW MINER TEACHRES WIN TWO IN ROW Bowie and Coppin Normal Fall Before District Basket Tossers After experimenting with only fair success with several types of combinations, Coach Harold Martin of Miner Teachers' College, finally found the team that he had been seeking—four six-footers and an agile pit man. It was this formidable team that Bowie had to face on March 8, in a game that was the closing feature in the Founder's Day program. Bowie was helpless in the face of such odds and was swamped, 52-10, in a game that was fast and well played. So accurate and dazzling was the team play of the Teachers that Bowie was held three-fourths of the game to a single field goal. With the insertion of the reserves they were able to score eight points to bring their final score to ten points. Capt. Allen and "Jack" Horton were outstanding on the defense for City College, while Harlan and Smith were the outstanding offensive players. Goldbrough played well for Bowie. Coppin Bows A fighting Coppin team bowed to a superior Miner Teachers' team here Friday by the score of 46-24. Coach Martin started his "powerteam" and was forced to keep them in to overcome the ever-threatening Baltimoreans. The game started with a rush, each team playing cautious but unerring basketball. Coppin scored first as Groomes flipped a neat twopointer from mid-court. The Teachers soon surged ahead and Harlan and Davis scored from difficult angles. At half time Miner led, 24-18. Going back in the second half Miner put the game on ice with a twelve-point rally that carried them far out in front, every man featuring in the scoring. Harlan and Capt. Allen played exceptional basketball for the Washington team. Groomes with six field goals was best for Coppin. Totals ..... 21 4 46 Totals ..... 11 2 24 Referee-A. Waller (Springfield).

WET WEATHER HALTS BASEBALL PRACTICE Pleasant Plains Club Seeks Games For Coming Diamond Although Jupiter' Pluvius has put the damper on the Pleasant Plains Royals' spirit for the past week, so that diamond practice has been out of the question, this lack of ground work has been partially offset by indoor workouts at the club. Several of the Plainsmen, including Manager Jelly Jackson, welcome this temporary relief from strenuous work and are making the most of the opportunity to further recuperate from injuries sustained in an automobile mishap several weeks ago, when the car in which the Plains basketball squad was being transported to the scene of a game was struck by another car. All players who have not yet reported to Pop Page or Manager Jackson are urged to get in touch with these individuals before next Friday. The Royals have a few open dates and those who desire to book games should communicate with James Page, 803 Euclid Street, Northwest. T. D. COOKE NEW VA.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1933 U.C.LLA. mile relay team is nothing if not ambitious. All the boys expect to do this season is knock something like ten seconds off the Bruin record. Yowzah, that's right, ten seconds! And barring accidents they should come mighty close to realizing their ambition. In the first place the record, as it stands, isn't so hot. It's down on the books at 3m, 26.4s. and was established by Messrs. Proctor, McNay, Baker and McCarthy in 1929. Last year the frosh team almost equaled this mark. A baton-passing group composed of Ray Rork, Bain, Sinclair Lott and Ray Vejer negotiated the mile in 3m. 27s. And now they are the ambitious varsity runners of the present season. Frosh a year ago, they're the backbone of Harry Trotter's squad, inasmuch as no letter men are returning in the 440. So from present indications the varsity relay team will be composed entirely of second-year athletes, which is good news to Bruin fans with an eye to the future. Three men are certain to make the team, with the fourth position being disputed by Joe Kleinbauer, diminutive sprint man formerly of Manual Arts High School, and Ray Rork, a made-over half-miler from Franklin High School. Both youngsters have good possibilities, although neither has tried the 440-yard dash in competition. Remaining positions will be filled by dyed-in-the-wool quarter-milers who have been turning in good times for years and are certain to improve with age. Coach Trotter to use Sinclair Lott, former L.A. Poly athlete and an end on Bill Spaulding's football team last fall, as lead-off man. He holds the Bruin freshman record of 49.4 seconds for the quarter—one and six-tenths seconds lower than his best mark in high school. To prove his consistency, Lott ran three races under fifty seconds last year and is expected to turn in forty-nine seconds with regularity during the coming season. He is 6 feet 1 inch in height and as strong as a horse. Although football put weight on him, he also gained in power and should have no difficulty in trimming his best previous mark's liberally. Ray Vejar, cousin of Laurie Vejar of Notre Dame football fame, will run third. Ray set a new Bay League record of 51.3 seconds in 1930 as a senior in Santa Monica High School. Last year he ran neck and neck with Lott in three races, trimming the freshman record to 49.8 seconds on one occasion and 49.5 seconds on another. When Lott established the present mark Vejar was trailing by less than a foot. Anchor lap will be run by James LuValle, one of the State's finest high-school quarter-milers two years ago. Running for Polytechnic, he was barely nosed out by John McCarthy in the State Meet at Visalia in 1931, being clocked in 48.7 seconds. Appendicitis and assorted aliments put him on the casualty list for almost a year, during which he took no part in competition, but kept in condition by frequent light workouts. He is an exceptionally strong runner at almost any distance and may be used in the 100-yard dash as well as the relay event. Coach Trotter expects the team Recrceation Activities at the Centers The swimming pentathlon is drawing many out to see the tests that the boys are going through. The meet is staged each Friday at the Dunbar pool. Speed tests will be featured at Dunbar this Friday night. The time limit is one hour. The races begin at 8 p.m. Basketball games are featured every Friday night at the Dunbar High gym. Boxing and wrestling events are being staged at the Burville Center every Tuesday night. Ping pong is being featured each week at the Lovejoy Center. Paddle tennis is going for a big lead at Dunbar Armory each Friday night. Social dancing lasts one hour at Lovejoy each week. Dunbar Center Avenges Defeat by Cardozo A.C The fast Dunbar Community Center team came back with the same medicine given them just two weeks ago when they were defeated by the Cardozo A.C. The score this time wah 35-34 for Dunbar. Cardozo tied the score at the finish of the regular period, 30 all, but after the extra five minutes closed, the Dunbar team was in the front. While Butler starred for the losers, the winners had the superb services of Adams and Wormley to put them into the fore. THE WRESTLER Here they are, from north to south, James LuValle, Ray Vejar, Ray Rork and Sinclair Lott. to clip three minutes, eighteen seconds consistently, with the possibility that it may hit close to many of last year's best collegiate marks. With George Jefferson back for the pole vault and the baton passers determined to give Father Time a shellacking, it looks like a fine start on a large season for the Bruin track team. Jefferson had a brilliant year during 1932, climaxing months of strenuous effort by taking third place for Uncle Sam in the Olympic Games. Cardinals Run Rough Shod over Howard U. Juniors Cardinals Run Rough Shod over Howard U. Juniors The Y.M.C.A. Cardinals baskets ran rough shod over the Howard University Juniors, Monday, on the former's court by a score of 24 to 16. At the end of the halfway mark the score was deadlocked at 14-all. Lee, Pinderhughes and Kendrick were the sharp shooters for the winners, while Barnes and Carter with five points each were the main gunners for the Juniors. Phelps Vocational Win from Lincoln High Team The Phelps Vocational School tossers gained two decisive victories last Monday by defeating the Cardozo Scholastics, 20 to 19 and the Lincoln High School basketers by the score of 33 to 8. The first half in the game with the Scholastics ended 14 to 8 in favor of the vocational lads. Wallace, Winston and Taylor were high pointers for Phelps. The second game was one-sided with Pelphs leading 6-4 at the half. Wallace was again high point scorer with 10 points. Montgomery and Giles tied with eight points each. Be Tobacco wise- When I don't see White Owl, I ask for it" Think over three inside facts and be tobacco wise yourself: 1. White Owl costs the manufacturer more to produce than most 5-cent cigars you see at the cigar case. 2. The dealer pays more for it. 3. The greatest supply of choice tobacco ever assembled for a 5-cent cigar guarantees White Owl quality. WHITE OWL·5¢ RENS SCORE 75 STRAIGHT GAMES New York Team Has Record of Playing 95 and Losing 3 NEW YORK.—Homeward bound with a record of seventy-five consecutive victories, a string of wins hitherto unequalled in the annals of professional basketball, the Renaissance wonder team returns with the scalps of the mighty Celtics dangling from their belts, along with the scalps of many lesser luminaries. Out in Cleveland, the Rens took the measure of the Celtics by a score of 36-35 in one of the most brilliant games they have yet played. The game ended with the score at 31-31, but the fans demanded a finish and the managers of both teams consented to play an extra five-minute period to determine the victory. As a result, Bill Yancey, of the Rens, came through with a fine basket and a foul shot, scoring three of the points his team made in this period. Went to St. Louis Travelling out to St. Louis, the team knocked off the St. Louis All-Stars, an aggregation of college players who booked the Rens into their bailiwick. And now the boys are en route home. Thus far this season the team has won 95 games and lost 3. On November 19, the Celtics defeated the Rens by a score of 26-25; on November 24, the Jewels defeated the Rens by a score of 32-26; and on December 10, the Yonkers outfit won from the Rens by a score of 23-22. However, since that date, no team has been able to top the Rens, although the boys have met the three teams which defeated them earlier in the season. It is the ambition of the team to keep its slate clean during the rest of the season—a difficult task considering some of the teams which they are to meet later before the final game of the year. To Play in New York The present schedule calls for a game in New York City on March 19, and one on the 26th. After that the majority of the games will be played out of town, probably ending at the Renaissance Casino on April 2. Manager Douglass declares his present team is the greatest of his managerial career if not the greatest of all times. And he bases his deductions on the number of games played, the type of teams his boys meet, and the margin of victories which they roll up over a busy season, and last but not least, the remarkable string of victories in which luck has not played the most important factor. The present outfit gives to the sportsmen of America, the undisputed champions of basketball, professional and otherwise. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Golf Skits Golf Skits By Happy Walters Eddie Jackson, who made his golf debut in the District championship last year, plays a steady game and should go far this season in tournaments. Jackson isn't an easy player to discourage, for he is diliberate in shot-making and always calm. **** Competitive golf will lose one of its most colorful performers, if Walter Hagen (white) retires this year, as he announced. He is rated one of the greatest players of all times, and as a master showman, he is peerless. Hagen captains the American Ryder Cup team again this year when they engage the British pros for the coveted emblem of professional golf supremacy. Dunbar golfers will meet Armstrong's technical shot-makers on April 13, at the local course. This is the first scheduled encounter between these teams in the Southern Conference League. ***** I seem to have a habit of discovering golf talent and this time, it's Larimer Matthews, a wee youngster who resides in LeDroit Park. He is not much taller than ttl clubs he plays with, but his shots are hit accurately and well. He may play in his first tournament this year, and personally, I think his showing will be very impressive. ***** The Memorial links have been closed the past few months for "repairs," but will reopen formally about the latter part of this month. Lessons in Golf The correct method of holding the club, is most essential to good play. Learn to grip the club with the fingers and not with the palms of the hands. The left hand should be well on top of the shaft, with the knuckles visible. The right laps over the thumb on the left hand. When this is done, you will notice the V shaped position of both hands, when looking down the shaft of the club. This is known as the over-lapping grip and the most popular method employed by the majority of the stars of today. A fault that hits good and bad players, is the loosening of the right hand at the top of the back-swing. If the above instructions are put into play there will be no need to move the right hand out of position, until the upswing is completed. This is a fault that can easily be disposed of, with a few moments of practice each day. WINSTON WINS PHILADELPHIA.—Unknown Winston, of Hartford, Conn., won a 10-round decision over Salvatore Ruggerillo here last Monday night.

Having dominated the tournament throughout the two days of gruelling play, these two strong teams met in the final game to decide the championship for the class "A" division of the state high schools, both having enthusiastic backing from the western part of the state, both backed heavily to win. Both teams presented a very fine type of basketball featuring the five-man scoring offense and the zone defense, which resulted in their battling almost on even terms for the major portion of the first half which ended with Dunbar leading by a 20 to 16 score. Booker T. Washington High, of South Boston, won the state championship in the class "B" division, composed of county training schools and high schools with limited facilities, by defeating the James City County Training School of Williamsburg, 20 to 13, in the final game for that class. The South Boston school easily dominated the class "B" teams throughout the tournament, being paces by Fox at center, who was a valuable coog in the machinery of his team. Trophies Presented Championship trophies, gold plaques, were presented the winning teams in both divisions by Dean J. H. Johnston. Members of the championship teams received gold basketballs as insignia of their accomplishments. The runners-up in each division were presented silver basketballs. The medal for the best all-round sport in the tournament went to Nathaniel Reid of the James City County Training School. The medal for the highest point man during the meet went to Wheeler Hughes, of the championship Dunbar High team, who gathered a total of 79 points in five games for an average of 17 4-5 points per game. In the opinion of the officials, Westmoreland and Lacey, of Washington, D.C., who have handled the games through six years of the tournament, marked improvement in the play of all teams, which they have watched during their years of service, was strikingly evident. They expressed the belief that the tournament is doing much toward the development of the sport in the state of Virginia.

CHEYNEY BOWS TO DOWNINGTOWN 5 CHEYNEY BOWS TO DOWNINGTOWN 5 Storer Girls Lose Rough and Tumble Battle to Downies CHEYNEY, Pa.—Saturday night was trustee night here at Teachers' College, but the Downingtown lads were no respecters of the paternal feelings of the Cheyney overlords. They handed the Wolves a second lacing on the latter's court, walking off with an easy 42-21 triumph. By this victory they climbed into second place in the M.A.A.A. standings and sent Cheyney scuttling into the cellar position. Nichols, Pollard, Taylor, and White did most of the cord-splitting for the victors, while Hazelwood again shone for the Colleagues. Storer Girls Stopped HARPERS FERRY, W.Va.—In a fracas in which incompetent officiating turned a basketball game into the roughest exhibition witnessed this year, the Storer College maids almost wrestled their way into the season's junior court upset here on Saturday night. After throwing their home followers into deliriums of joy by romping into an 8-3 half-time advantage, they managed to hold the Downingtown girls to a 16-13 final verdict. Earlier in the season they had lost by a much wider edge, 41-10. Standing of M. A. A. A. Results of Games March 3—Delaware Boys, 36; Cheyney, 28. March 4—Delaware Boys, 47; Storer, 45.

P. O.'s sharp shooters into camp in a hard-fought closely-contested game Saturday, 40 to 39. Jackson made 20 points for the winners, while Hope received credit for 13 for the losers. The Department of State's Ambassadors, led by Elk Joe Walker, who made 12 points, ably assisted by Hank Williams and Schemy Joe Adams, who tallied 9 points each, scored on Treasury almost at will, coming out on the large end of a 42 to 27 score. Radeliffe with 14 points, and Smith with 8 performed to advantage for the losers. Liberty Loan's loopers played rings around the cellar resting Commerce quintette. The score was, Liberty Loan, 49; Commerce, 23. The Commerce crowd has lost six games in as many starts, although in the first half they held second place. On Tuesday night, Treasury bolstered by the addition of Slim Thomas, Briscoe, and Glimp, out-pointed War College, 38 to 13. Slim and Pee Wee Webb looked for all the world like Mutt and Jeff and made more than two-thirds of Treasury's points between them G.P.O., with Louie Meredith in form, beat Liberty Loan by a ten-point margin, 36 to 26. Meredith made 12 points. ROBINSON BEING PUSHED BY TERRY Runner-up in Swimming Pentathlon Has Scored 186 Points Last week the pentathlon swimmers began the second part of a five-part program in swimming at Dunbar Community Center. The event was the staging of a life saving race. The swimmers were required to do the head carry, tired swimmer's carry, the cross chest carry; and an optional carry. The fast and hard swimming of Henry Robinson gave him the lead in the second test. He leads the field now with 215 points, while his nearest rival, Terry, has 186 points. Robinson is a member of the Red Devil team composed of Terry and Jackson. Robinson last year was a member of the Suburban Gardens life-saving crew which was captained by Clarence Pendleton, formerly of Howard University staff in the physical education department. The Pentathlon will be concluded on March 24. After that time the awards will be made and emblems awarded to all who have competed in the events. Much interest has been manifested in the games and water events this season. More women are taking advantage of the facilities offered. Water polo is still being played, and the teams are working for the coming of the next set of games to take place in April at the Dunbar High School pool. Plans are being made for a demonstration to be held during April, with many outside organizations participating. Lollypop races last week kept the crowd on edge as to who would get the next lollypop. Such events as walking races, comic races, comic diving, stunts and what nots were causes for eating candy on the stick.

The difference between theory and practice will be brought one and some of the rules and principles learned in school will be given the students. Practice in the arrangement of goods and the actual making of sales will be stressed.

This group will also be in charge of the handling of cash, control of heat, light, ventilation, and storage, choice of bookkeeping system, the granting of credit, and the collection of accounts. A fourth group will study personnel problems, which include the handling, treatment, selection, training and compensation of salespersons. METCALF BREAKS 60-YARD RECORD SOUTH BEND, Ind.—Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette University's sensational sprinter, ran through another record, Saturday, racing 60 yards in six and one-tenth seconds to better Lorne Murchison's 10-year-old mark, in the annual Central Intercollegiate Conference indoor championship meet. Undefeated this year and holding or sharing almost every sprint record, the Hilltop hustler used the fast Notre Dame field house strip for his latest achievement. Starting faster than usual, he led all the way to defeat Jim Schatte, of Michigan Normal, by two feet. His time clipped a tenth of a second off the mark made by Murchison in 1923. Manchesters Victors The Manchester basketball machine defeated the Shilohs on Friday at the Dunbar High School center, 29-21.

The melting pot of ideas gave many of us the thing that we have wanted for a long time. The information as to how others do their work and the results obtained were profuse. More of these conferences will help to solve the problems that come up nightly at our various places of working, and the like. The attendance at the Lovejoy center is mounting each week. Some think the warm weather is responsible for this sudden growth in attendance. But it will take just about two weeks to find out what is the cause of this sudden influx. * * * * Twas a lovely party at Southeast House after dinner Monday night. Dancing and punch and cakes and everything. * * * * Miss Cora Sissney gave a party at her penthouse apartment for the ones who liked parties. Bridge, whist, marbles, toys, biscuits, chicken, cress—well if you did not get there I took care of what you might have wanted and could have eaten. Lovely, yes-perfectly gorgeous. Due to the lateness and frequency of the festivities of Monday night there was many a small eye at the Tuesday morning conference. Let's all get back to work again and try some of the things that we heard about at the get-together exchange at the N.R.A. confab. DEANWOOD. D.C. Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Haizilip, 4810 Sheriff Road, Northeast, are the proud parents of a fine baby girl. Mother and baby are doing nicely. Carried to the hospital recently because of sudden illness, Mrs. C. Frank of 1027 Browning Street, Northeast, is again back home. E. L. Dixon, 4606 Sheriff Road, Northeast, has as his guest, his mother, Mrs. Mattie Dixon of Jonesboro, Ga. The Rev. Mr. George preached at Randall M. E. Church last Sunday morning. The Rev. G. W. Brent occupied the pulpit morning and night at First Baptist Church. At twelve o'clock the funeral of Miss Catho- rine Jefferson was largely atten- ted. GIRL TREATED FOR COAL GAS POISONING Suffering from coal gas poisoning late Monday evening, Julia Orphal, 16, 524 Twenty-third Street Northwest, was treated at Emergency Hospital.

The natives call this sickness "Nagana," hence the name of the picture that will show at the Republic for three days, beginning Friday. The stars are Tala Birell, that exotic and alluring Viennese actress, and Melyvn Douglas; and with them are those two noted colored stars, William Dunn and Everett Brown. The picture is colorful, full of actual dangers, and at the same time has a love story compelling and dramatic. The offering for the last three days of the week is "Tonight Is Ours," which is a romance that centers around a young woman who tosses aside the responsibilities of a kingdom for a fling at Paris, and of a wealthy young Parisian who insists on sharing the fling with her. Their romance is a hectic, giddy affair carried on in one pleasure spot after another, but their moments alone are moments of infinite tenderness and passion. As for the cast, no two names in the film world are more to the front at the present time than those of Claudette Colbert and Frederic March, the two stars who will also appear in "Sign of the Cross." With these two the film could not fail to be interesting, and with the secondary roles taken by such veteran players as Alison Skipworth and Paul Cavanaugh, "Tonight Is Ours" isnotapicture (fla... Ours" is not a picture to be missed. JAY CLIFFORD VISITS Jay Clifford, of New York City, spent the week-end in the city as th guest of his wife, Mrs. Rhetta Clifford, and his mother, Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford. MAE WEST IN "SHE DONE HIM WRONG" AT THE LINCOLN "She Done Him Wrong," a lusty melodrama written by Mae West, who stars in the play, will be shown at the Lincoln for one week, beginning Friday, March 17. Miss West, in the role of "Lady Lou" is a beer hall singer with a host of admirers who provide her with diamonds in return for her favors. When Cary Grant comes along, ostensibly the head of a neighboring mission, he fails to supply any gems, but he does on the other hand provide a series of startling events. So great is her popularity, that Miss West has a collection of jewels worth the ransom of half dozen kings. Noah Beery is the saloon-keeper who is furnishing the diamonds at the moment. During the course of the picture Mae sings three songs—the famous old ballad "Frankie and Johnnie" and "A Man What Takes His Time" and "Haven't Got No Peace of Mind." The scenes are laid in the Bowery, that notorious old avenue where men are men. Its saloons, politicians, honky-tonks, and dames furnish a background for the principal characters—Miss West, Noah Beery, Owen Moore, and Gilbert Roland. EDDIE CANTOR IN "THE KID FROM SPAIN AT THE BROADWAY What is considered by many as being the biggest and funniest picture to come out of Hollywood this season, is "The Kid from Spain," which comes to the Broadway Theatre for three days beginning Sunday, March 19. It is a song and dance comedy, with little popeyes—Cantor—at his best, wisecracking as usual and singing his foolish way into trouble and out again. In this picture he has a song on his lips, wild fear in his eyes, and big black bull behind him. With him are the 76 gorgeously beautiful Goldwyn chorus girls. Each background makes them look different and more lovely. Lyda Roberti plays opposite Cantor, and supporting them with easy grace are Ruth Hall and Robert Young in the romantic leads, and John Miljan and Carroll Naish as the Mexican bad men. Nonsense and song, as nervous as Eddie himself is, propel a gay fable of, romantic love under the Southern moon, a story of the dark smiling eyes that give matador's the grace and valor of Spain's noble sport of bull fighting, with Eddie as the unwilling matador. "TRAILING THE KILLER" AND "A SUCCESSFUL" CALAMITY"—Raphael Much of the breath-taking action in the World Wide production "Trailing the Killer" centers around the maraudings of a ferocious beast of the American wilds, commonly referred to as a mountain lion. Still a menace in many sections yet unconquered tracts of timber and mountain country, this greatly feared enemy of wild and domestic animal life alike, is known by many and varied names, according to where you find him. As vividly shown in "Trailing the Killer," the mountain lion is ever a source of apprehension to sheep-herders in particular. And man himself is not entirely immune to the killing propensities of this ruthless, sleek coated, soft-footed monster. The scientific appellation for this member of the cat family is "felis couguar." Popularly he is known as puma or mountain lion. The heretofore untrampled domain of the mountain-lion was invaded and every "trick of the trade" employed to force the erstwhile actor to record authentically for millions to see and hear, life as it is actually lived in wilds yet to fall before the march of civilization. "Trailing the Killer" will be shown at the Raphael Theatre for four days beginning March 19. This amazing drama is a B. F. Zeidman production directed by Herman C. Raymaker. "Ceasar" famed wolf-dog screen star, is featured in this Jackson Richards story of courage and cowardice. In their own quiet way, the sets for George Arliss pictures generally turn out to be the most sumptuously dressed of all pictures. "A Successful Galamity," a Warner Bros. hit, coming to the Raphael Theatre March 23, is no exception to this rule. Almost without exception the George Arliss pictures have been made from stories which require rich and artistic settings. "Disraeli" was told against a lovely background of aristocratic English manors. "The Green Goddess" developed in an atmosphere of almost suffocating East Indian elegance. NEGRO REPERTORY COMPANY PLANNED IN NEW YORK NEW YORK CITY (CNS)—Plans for a repertory company to be known as the Repertory Playhouse Associates, Inc., which intends to produce Negro plays and establish a definite folk theatre have been drawn up, and organization is now going forward under the general direction of Herbert V. Gellendre and an executive committee composed of Frank Wilson, Rose McClendon and Carlton Moss. Three plays, "You Mus' Be Bo 'n Ag'in," by Andrew Burris; "John Henry," by Frank B. Wells, and "Black," by Conrad Seiler, are being considered as initial presentations of the company. The company has studios at 27 West Fifteenth Street.

Eddie Cantor THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1933 "BLONDIE JOHNSON WITH JOAN BLONDELL AT THE HOWARD "Blondie Johnson," Miss Public Enemy No. 1, opens at Howard Theatre for one week beginning today (Friday). Heaven made her beautiful and her dancing made her ruthless. Why—because she was never given a chance so she decided to take chances. She knew most men have a price and every man a weakness. So she put her own sweetheart on the spot, sent him to his doom while her kisses still burned on his lips, laughed when guns blazed in his face and then found her heart of ice buried in a woman's breast. Joan Blondell and Chester Morris give the screen the best performance of their entire careers in the making of "Blondie Johnson." The First National Pictures for the first time dares to tell the real story of Blondie Johnson's notorious career. Her proud boast was that she had seen everything, done everything and knew all the answers. The baby face blonde set hell's kitchen on fire. Coming to the Howard at an early date the season's greatest hit, Irene Dunne in "No Other Woman." Operatic Soprano Returns From Italy RALEIGH, N.C. (CNS)—Catarina Jarbore, a young Negro operatic soprano, has returned to the States after having spent several years in Italy where she appeared in the role of Aida in Verdi's famous opera. She is the product of St. Thomas Catholic school, of Wilmington, N.C., where she was taught by the Franciscan Sisters. NEGROES, SUBJECT OF HARLEM ART EXHIBIT NEW YORK—An exhibition of paintings, drawings, and lithographs by Mrs. Amy Spingarn, chiefly on Negro subjects, will be opened on Sunday, March 12, at the 135th Street Y.M.C.A. building and will continue until April 2.

The last act is a fairly literal reproduction of a real Southern reproduction of a real Southern revival meeting and the singing is good. Miss Fredi Washington takes the part of "Sulamai," an artless child of Southern nature, and Alston Burleigh, son of the well-known baritone of St. George's Church choir, as the sophisticated "Northern" Jim—son of another play character the Rev.
