Dismissed Dean Wins Suit Against Howard Univ. MORTY HARRIS GETS 18 MONTHS 7 CENTS PER COPY By THE BACHELOR JUDICIAL DEPRESSION The preacher, the butcher, the candle-stick maker, have all been forced to take official cognizance of what is jokingly referred to as the depression. But if judges, when they speak ex-chathedra, have heard that money is scarce, my morning paper is misleading me. A judge can say "fifty dollars and costs" with no more qualm of conscience than the Hecht Company when sending out a monthly bill to a school teacher. While I am about the business of straightening out the world, I would amend the penalties for misdemeanors and such to conform to general conditions. I herewith submit the first section of my monumental work in revising the code. Section 1. Drunk and general nuisance: six bits and costs. Section 2. Drunk and disorderly: fifty cents and costs. Section 3. Plain drunk: no case. Section 4. High and amourous: In view of possible personal prejudice in this matter, I have submitted this section to my pastor for decision. As hard as a quarter is to get these days, punishment would be just as severe under my new schedule of penalties and the clang of jail doors just as imminent. Being blest with piety and the patience of Job, few things move me to indignation. I have been known, under sufficient pressure, to weather a whole eventing of total abstinence and bridges, with only an occasional "slam" or any word that rhymes with it passing my lips. But when I behold a group of adult and apparently rational people putting little colored bits of card-board together in an intricate pattern, I am moved to flare up and squawk out loud. In my years as a respectable bachelor I have weathered back-gammon, parchesi, five hundred, and knitting. But now heaves in view the jig-saw craze. "Good Lord, deliver me." PEGASUS GOES TO COLLEGE Though a critic of sound gin, a beautiful cut of steak, or a welt-turned ankle, I am willing to bow low from the brassier and salute my superior in these matters if and when, he heaves in sight. But in my taste for belles lettres, I take more pride. "Surely," I said, "our college on the hill must be turning out Cullens and Hugheses and fitting many otherwise mug ingorious Milton's to take places in the field of literature." So I turned to the eminent, "Hilltop," the publication by the students of Howard, for some confirmation of this view. I turned away with nausea from such purilities as essays on "What Keeps Me Going," run by the professors, and went straightway into the Poet's Corner, where the youthful Dunbar or Wheatley held full sway. The first thing to strike my startled gaze was a piece headed "Thoughts," by one of Miss Lucy Slowe's virgins, signed Francesca: "I dream of just such a night as this Once long, long ago When I lived in an hour of bliss Once long, long ago You loved me then, my dear Once long, long ago." "This." I said, "is some horrid joke, no such garbage could pour out of a college." So I went to the next piece. And, God help me, this is what I found: "He tells me how he loved her —that's why I am craving for a bit of attention, Hope on occasions he'll vamp me a little. Or—if it's not too ambitious to mention. In his arms he'll clamp me a little." Not being vastly learned in Pestalozzi-Froebel, I don't know the cause of such erotic obscenities, but I do know a cure. The cure is: the reverse side of an hair bruch applied to the Little Jumbe. A person's education is incomplete unless he understands enough about business to protect himself against fraud, how business is organized and the opportunities that business offers. Washington Tribune Dr. Donawa Awarded 3 Months' Salary as Dental School Head of White- and Colored Students Causes Stir in White College PITTSBURG, Kan.,—An informal inter-racial dance that followed a meeting of the Forum Club at Pittsburg Teachers College here last week created a funor resulting in: (1) Two mass meetings. (2) The passing of a resolution banning mixed dancing. (3) The taking away of all social privileges of three white men students for the remainder of the current semester. (4) The suspension of one of the trio by his fraternity About twenty-five students were at the forum meeting sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. for discussion of college issues. A colored coed read a paper. After the program the three white students danced with colored coeds and a white girl danced with a colored student. Two college professors were chaperons. The dance had been scheduled on the college's social calendar. The white sudents against whom action was taken are Alfred B. Coats, Kansas, graduate history student and Forum president; John Price, Kansas, graduate student and former college 'Y president, and his brother Ralph Price, vice president of the college Y' MAIN WITNESS IN DR. WRIGHT'S CASE COLLAPSES MAIN WITNESS IN DR. WRIGHT'S CASE COLLAPSES The trial of Dr. Clarence Wright on a charge of illegal operation was indefinitely postponed Wednesday afternoon by Judge Wheat presiding in criminal court No. 2, after Miss Edith Washington, the chief witness for the prosecution, collapsed in the courtroom and was removed to a hospital. The jury had been selected, composed of seven women and five men. The prosecuting attorney had presented his proposal of what he would prove in supporting the charc e against Dr. Wright, when Miss Washington slumped in her seat, dramatically ending the trial for the day, and because she was unable to return to the courtroom the witnesses in the case and the jury were excused until further nifted. The courtroom was crowded, for the rumor was out that some sensational evidence would be presented at the trial. Dr. Wright was released on bond to appear at the future continuance of the trial. Crawford Hearing Again Postponed BOSTON, Mass. — The hearing in the Crawford extradition case, being fought here by attorneys for the N.A.A.C.P., has been postponed again. The new date has not been set by the court. The Boston attorneys for Crawford are being assisted by Messrs. Charles H. Houston, Edward P. Lovette and Thurgood Marshall of Washington, D.C. Mr. Houston is dean of Howard University law school and a member of the national legal committee of the N.A.A.C.P. Virginia authorities are seeking to return Crawford to that state to face trial for the murder of Mrs. Agnes E. Isley and her maid. Vol. XII, No. 47 RTY H wa Awarded s' Salary as school Head Court Holds Executive Committee Cannot Fire Employees HAD DEMANDED YEAR'S SALARY Paid for Time up to the Meeting of the Board of Trustees That the executive committee of the board of trustees of Howard University has the power to take away the salary of any professor, dean or full time employee, was seriously doubted by Justice James M. Proctor, Thursday morning, when he ordered a directed verdict in favor of both plaintiff and defendant and awarded Dr. Arnold Donawa, former dean of the dental school, the sum of $1,000. The sum represented the amount Dr. Donawa would have received for three months from July 31, 1931, the time he was suspended by the executive committee, to October 31 of the same year, the time the board of trustees met and uphold the suspension. Dr. Donawa brought suit for $3,633.33, salary for 11 months. He claimed his year of service began on July each year. He was paid one month's salary after being dismissed. Doubts Validity of Action The trial began Tuesday and lasted until near Thursday noon. Beside Dr. Donawa, Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the university, was the only witness. Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of the university, represented the defendant. He was represented by George E. C. Hayes and Perry W. Howard. Dr. Donowa was represented by Attorneys Selig C. Brez and W. M. Tobriner. In giving his decision, the court stated that he doubted the validity of the action of the executive committee in so far as it intended to terminate the relationship of Dr. Donawa as dean or to attempt to terminate his salary as such. "It may be proper to maintain such a committee to supervise generally the university, but the power to appoint is in the board of trustees. It (the appointment) was made by the board of trustees." "I doubt the power of the board of trustees to create a body that will have the right to take action prejudicial to the contractual rights of others." Dr. Donawa claimed that he had an understanding with President Johnson in July, 1929, that he was to accept the position as dean of the college at a salary of $4,000. He produced a telegram and other correspondence between the university and himself leading up to his appointment. He stated that it was the understanding that he was to be appointed from year to year beginning on July 1, and the appointment was to be automatic. He admitted that he had taught classes, and his name had appeared in the university bulletin and catalogue as associate professor, but he considered himself as dean. Claimed Dean's Salary During the winter of 1930, the university sought to place the dental school under the supervision of the dean of the medical school. Dr. Donawa opposed this action and refused to attend several meetings called by the dean of the medical school. The executive committee suspended him for insubordination on July 17, 1931, and paid him for the 17 days in the month. He returned this check and later he received a check for the full month as associate professor. This was returned. Then he was given a check for the same month as dean. (Continued on page 2) Police are still scouring the city for the 22-year-old mother of little Christine Holdman, whose body was found in a sewer at Second and R Streets, Southwest, on March 15. Harry K. Wilson, chief of the homicide squad, and Detective Sergeant John C. Dalglish said this week that the mother, Mrs. Elin Holdman, is no doubt hiding and within time she will be apprehended. The five-year-old child's body was found murdered by a boy who was playing in the vicinity of the sewer. An investigation disclosed that the mother had recently had an argument with an aunt of the child. Following the disagreement the mother took the child away from the aunt and stated that she had put the girl on a bus bound for Greensboro, N.C., the home of the mother. The body of the child was found in the sewer the next day. Death was the result of a powerful blow on the head. Acting Coroner A. McGruder McDonald said. The mother disappeared and has not been heard from since the murder. Several times police have been to homes in the Southwest where the mother and visited after the finding of the body. Each time she had left a few minutes prior to the arrival of officers. The body of little Christine is being held at the District Morgue and will be kept there indefinitely, said Morgue Master Schroenburger. WASHINGTONIAN IS CHARGE D'AFFAIRS AT MONROVIA When Charles E. Mitchell, Minister to Liberia, left his post in Monrovia for the United States on March 22, William Crusor George a Washington man, who was vice consul there, was promoted to charge d' affairs of the American Legation in Liberia. He will hold the post until the Roosevelt Administration appoints a minister to succeed Mr. Mitchell. General Blanton Winship, former aide to President Calvin Coolidge, has been ordered to Liberia on a special mission for an eight-week period. That has no bearing on the appointment of a minister to the little republic by the present administration. While in the United States last September and October Mr. George married Miss Juanna James, who did not accompany her husband when he was unexpectedly ordered to return to Africa. Mrs. George is the smiling young lady who greets you at the ticket box at the Howard Theatre. Mr. George was born here November 22, 1903. He is a graduate of Dunbar High School and attended Dunbar University from 1924 to 1927. Graduating from Howard, he was appointed a clerk in the American Legation at Monrovia on January 21, 1929. He was made vice consul at the same post February 16, 1921, and named charge d'affairs on March 22. He is a member of the Omega Phi fraternity, and through the assistance of Dutton Ferguson, here, set up an Omega chapter in Monrovia. Friends Intelligencer Has Race Relations Number PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The February 25 number of the Friends' Intelligence, a Quaker weekly magazine, is called a race relations number and contains editorials and articles by Dr. Alain Loche, Iza De. Rea, Dr. Walter White, and Arthur Huff Faust. On the cover is a poem by Lewis Alexander, "The Dark Brother." Individual copies are five cents and may be had from 1815 Cherry street, Philadelphia. Lawyer Sent to Jail When Court Refuses to Grant Probation Plea for Time to Settle Personal Matters also Refused by Judge CONVICTED OF EMBEZZLEMENT Found Guilty of Taking Sum of Money from Couple Mortier M. Harris, member of the District bar, who specialized in real estate, was sentenced to 18 months in jail by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat in the criminal cour of the District of Columbia Supreme Court, Thursday afternoon. Justice Wheat, on Wednesday, over ruled a motion for a new trial. Harris was convicted of embezzlement in the same court several months ago. Attorney Perry W. Howard asked the court to place Harris on probation, which plea was refused. Attorney Howard then pleaded that if sentence were to be passed that it would be suspended. This was also refused. After the court passed sentence Mr. Howard asked that Harris be given two weeks to clear up his business, and when the court refused to grant the plea the time was cut to three days which also was refused. Following the sentence Harris was taken immediately to the jail. Justice Wheat has had a motion for a new trial under advisement for nearly two weeks. Harris was under $1,000 bond. The penalty for suc ha charge is from one to seven years. Harris was indicted last December by the grand jury on charges involving $236 said to have been taken under false pretenses from Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Braxton, 1129 Girard Street, Northwest. The prosecution was conducted by Assistant U. S. Attorney John J. Sirica, who contended that the attorney approached the couple in May of last year after he had learned that the Braxton home was to be sold at public auction. Harris was indicted on five counts and the government set out to prove that Harris after receiving the money from the Braxtons did not apply it to the payment of obligations on the couple's home, but converted the money to his personal use. At the time of the trial Harris was represented by the law firm of Howard and Hayes. TRIBUNE TO AID WORKERS DURING HEALTH WEEK Negro Health Week will be observed from April 2 to 8. During that week the Washington Tribune will assist unemployed house renovators by printing in the classified columns, free of charge, advertisements for those who are seeking work. If you have any house cleaning, paper hanging, painting, plaster work, carpentry, calcimining, white washing, lawn repair work, hauling, etc., that needs to be done, pick out a man who can do this kind of work from those whose ads will appear in the Tribune next week. The Tribune does this in an effort to help the unemployed and as its share towards the "clean up campaign" sponsored in connection with Negro Health Week. House renovators must bring their ad to the Tribune office before 8 o'clock Tuesday night. Office: 920 U St. N. W. TS 18 nt to Jail urt Refuses Probation Took the Rap for White Employer, Now Seeking a New Hearing LOGAN, W. Va. — The Logan branch of the N.A.A.C.P. has entered the case of Clarence Stephenson, who is seeking a new trial following his conviction on a charge of murdering Mrs. Mamie Thurman, white. The branch raised the money to purchase the record in the case and on March 14, Attorney T. G. Nutter, of Charleston, national board member, presented a petition for a writ of error to the court. The Thurman case was one of the most sensational in this state in recent years. Stephenson and his white employer were arrested for the murder and testimony showed the white man had been carrying on an affair with the dead woman with Stephenson's assistance. The white man wiggled out of the murder charge and Stephenson "took the rap". At his trial, although he was a poor handy man, he had two of the best criminal lawyers in the state to defend him. The evidence against him was said to be purely circumstantial and the Logan branch decided to aid him. DR. W. A. WARFIELD RETIREMENT NOT IMMINENT Circulating reports that Dr. William A. Warfield, for the past 25 years surgeon-in-chief at Freedmen's Hospital, would soon be retired, were emphatically denied by Dr. Warfield when interviewed by a Tribune reporter at his office early this week. For several months reports have been going the rounds that Dr. Warfield was to soon retire and Dr. Peter Marshall Murray, former assistant superintendent at the hospital and one of the trustees of Howard University, would succeed him. In denying the rumor, Dr. Warfield said that he would not be eligible for retirement for some years to come, and unless he was stricken with disability he would remain on the job. A letter from Dr. Murray, who is also former president of the National Medical Association, branded the rumor as false and baseless. Dr. Murray said among other things, "I disavow any such reports and am happy to state that I shall use whatever little influence I have, if the occasion should arise, to assist you in retaining your present position." The communication was dated December 30, 1932. Players of Burrville Give Parker Drama The Burrville Players, under the direction of Miss Gladys Ward, gave W. C. Parker's play, "All a Mistake," last Tuesday night in the Burrville Auditorium.

Second Trial for Scottsboro Boys Now Under Way Attorneys Making Strong Attack on Alabama's Jury System; Model Train, to Be Used as Evidence, Attracts Attention Ras Tafari Makonnen, Emperor of Ethiopia, Wars Against Slavery NEW YORK CITY (CNS)—Late advice from Abyssinia by a group of missionaries from Italy, records the purchase and liberation of Ethiopian slaves. The missionaries who have recently returned to Italy point out that only about 900,000 humans are being kept in bondage in Abyssinia at the present time, whereas the figure in 1923 was 2,000,000. Warm praise for Ras Tafari Makonnen, Emperor of Ethiopia, was accorded by the Italian priests. They said: "Emperor Tafari refuses to close his eyes to the existence of slavery in his vast kingdom, he recognizes it as a fact and offers every aid to missionaries to stamp it out with deeds instead of words." The missionaries described the Ethiopians as naturally hardworking, peaceful people who became nomads under the slave-dealing scourge. "fearful always of attack and often ready to meet slave raid with counter raid." Maryland Jim Crow Repeal Bill Gets Setback ANNAPOLIS, Md.—The biennial effort to repeal Maryland's Jim Crow law suffered a setback last night when the Senate, by vote of 12 to 11, rejected a favorable report from the Judicial Proceedings Committee on the measure. It may be revived through parliamentary procedure within the next two days. Senator E. Milton Altfeld, of Baltimore, author of the bill, defended it on the floor, and Senator Dudley G. Ree, of Queen Anne County, spoke against it before the vote was taken. The repeal measure has been favorably acted upon by the house of assembly. CAPITAL EDITION DECATUR, Ala.—A petition asking Circuit Court Judge James E. Horton to quash the venire from which a jury is to be drawn to try Haywood Patterson, one of nine Negroes accused of an attack on two white girls, was drawn up Wednesday by Samuel Leibowitz, chief of defense counsel. Mr. Leibowitz, who has lost one fight to quash the indictments on the ground that Negroes were systematically excluded from the grand jury which returned the true bills against them, leveled the same objection to the venire drawn for the trial jury. By denying that motion Judge Horton held, in effect, that Mr. Leibowitz failed to make out a case against the administration of the law by the jury commissioners of Jackson County, where the indictments were drawn. Whether he would consent to hear evidence of the same sort relating to Morgan County, where the case is now on trial, was a matter of conjecture. In arguing the new petition Mr. Leibowitz will have before him the names of all prospective jurors and it will be possible for him to establish definitely the color of each man on it. Another factor in his favor is that Decatur is a more urban community than Scottsbore and its Negro citizens are better educated and more sophisticated. Among the witnesses he intends to call there will be several Negro voters, and in Alabama a colored man can win the right to cast a ballot only after proving his qualification by reciting the Constitution and interpreting its meaning. Negro preachers, doctors and business men, and one Negro teacher "with a recognized degree" will also be among the witnesses for whom the defense will ask subpoenas. The trial of Patterson, the alleged ringleader of the attack on the two white girls, was scheduled to be held as soon as the motion to quash the venue is out of the way.

BAGGAGE G. W. VIEBUCHEN, D. P. A. CHECKED Phone: NATIONAL 0837 or Union Station STOPOVERS ALLOWED SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY New York (NAACP Release). Further legal action in the case of Miss Doris Weaver, senior student at Ohio State University, is being planned by attorneys working for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Ohio Supreme Court dismissed Miss Weaver's petition for a mandamus to compel the university to admit her to residence in a home management house on the campus, in an opinion which cited many old cases of segregation. The opinion of the court is being studied by lawyers in Cleveland MISS DORIS WEAVER and New York with a view to asking a re-hearing and to appealing to the United States Supreme Court. The Harlan Club, an organization of Cleveland lawyers, has pledged its support in the case and offered legal advice. Cost of Case High The case so far has cost more money than was estimated at the outset and has developed into a vital question which may affect the education of Negroes in northern institutions. Contributions are needed for the further fight and may be sent to Gordon H. Simpson, secretary of the Cleveland branch, 2319 East 55th Street, Cleveland, O., or to the national office of the N. A. A. C. P., 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Official receipts will be given and acknowledgement made in the press. Another account from the Columbus, Ohio, Afternoon Dispatch, reads as follows: Doris Weaver, Cleveland Negro, who sought to have the State Supreme Court order the trustees of Ohio State University to permit her to live with white girls in the home management house, was "only denied the social privilege of residence with white girls," the court held Wednesday (March 15) in denying her a writ of mandamus. In a voluminous "round robin" opinion in which all the members of the court wrote some part except Judge Reynolds R. Kimball, the court held Miss Weaver was "denied no educational advantages or privileges that are not similarly used and enjoyed by other students, nor has she been denied privileges of taking her degree." The court also held that if a white girl had applied for a right to live with girls of another race, it would have been compelled to have denied the writ. Miss Weaver dropped out of the home management course at the university when officials ruled she could not live in the same rooms with white students. She did, however, remain in school, working for a degree by taking lecture course. University officials denied she had been discriminated against, but told the court they had offered Miss Weaver quarters in the same building.

Twenty-five thousand feet of floor space is provided here for this expanding firm. To provide for the comfort and convenience of an increasing number of customers, it has entered the new location after a remodeling program covering a period of five months and which included the installation of new flooring, a hand. some new front for the building, rewiring, new elevators, new fixtures, throughout and a complete and entire redecoration.

During its ten progressive years of business life, it has added steadily to its personnel because of its growing business. In 1930 it took over a furniture store at 1213 Good Hope Road in Anacostia, D. C., to serve its many patrons in that section, and this store, still in operation, is known as the company's "Branch No. 2."

Knoxville College KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—Cancellation of inter-allied war debts will be the subject of the inter-racial debate in Chicago between Knoxville College and Northwestern University. Debates with Lincoln University of Missouri, Morehouse College, and Talladega College complete the schedule for 1933. At the close of his critical and timely lecture on Adolf Hitler at Knoxville College Wednesday night, Dr. Emil Lengely, international journalist and writer for the New York Times, was challenged by an anonymous member of the audience and a short debate ensued, which was followed with keen interest by students of present-day international affairs. "The secret of Hitler's success," said Lengyel. "lies in his oratory, and he will be unable to accomplish anything constructive in German politics."" The lecturer further charged that Hitler is secretly supported by the industries whom he pretends to fight; and that he persecutes the Jews and all people of mixed blood, believing in Germany for pure Germans only. The challenger insisted that Hitler is the salvation of Germany, that vascular purity has always been demanded in Germany, and that the 18,000,000 people who voted for Hitler and the Nazis can't be wrong. Four remarkable concerts were presented by the Knoxville College School of Music last week.

While the daily press is greatly stirred over the news that the Jews in Germany are being tortured and killed—or, according to late dispatches merely menaced—little is said about the status of colored people there. A few dispatches have referred to the barring of Negro orchestras from certain theatres and the suppression of the broadcasting of jazz, but the matter seems to reach much deeper than these disbarments. A release sent out by the Crusader News Agency says: It is reported by an American correspondent in Germany (who was forced to send news by way of Switzerland) that the Fascist Government, present rulers of Germany, have revised the criminal code for a direct attack on Negro musicians, actors, and others in that country. A new law enacted by the Fascists declares: "Whoever undertakes to submit German folk and culture origins to influences of alien races, shall be found guilty of 'culture treachery' and sentenced to the penitentiary." Further: "Whoever ministers or tries to minister to the debasement or disturbance of German blood purity by adopting union with members of the Jewish or colored races, shall be found guilty of 'race treachery' and sentenced to jail." It appears probable that the enactments referred are not statutory "laws" but are declarations of policy formulated by officials of the Fascist party. However, the effect is practically the same, whether they are now or may hereafter be adopted as laws by the party which at present controls Germany absolutely. As Dean Miller points out in his release this week, the occurrences in Germany serve to show that the Nazis (Fascists) have inaugurated a policy paralleling American Ku Kluxism. The Jews and their friends in the United States, and in England and certain European countries have stirred their governments to action in their behalf. So far, our leaders have merely looked on. It is true the actual number of Negroes in Germany is small in proportion to the whole population, but even if the Jewish contingent were as small or smaller, it is probable that American Jewry would make itself heard. The Race Needs Jas. A. Jackson Apprehension has been expressed lest, in the consolidation and discontinuance of Federal bureauals and offices, the division of section in which James A. (Billboard) Jackson has served so efficiently, lose its existence. Mr. Jackson secured his position through civil service examination, and hence he is not likely to be dropped altogether; however, it is not so much Jackson, personally, as it is the tremendous value and potentiality of the work he has done and is doing that concerns us. We may concede that almost any person of ordinary equipment and good character might hold and creditably administer the most of the other "jobs" supposed to fall to colored politicians, but it is difficult to imagine anyone filling Mr. Jackson's place with even a fraction of his worth and efficiency. We believe that the organizing and carrying forward of this most important work—especially important for our race—were the results of Mr. Jackson's extraordinary personal experience and ability. If any office or section of our great Department of Commerce has justified its creation and support, surely this is it—and Jackson deserves the full credit. We would regard it as a most unfortu- back if either the office or the man used with. Help the Industrial to Become a National Bank It was with great relief and sincere hopefulness that it was learned last week that the consolidated Industrial-Prudential Bank would attempt to increase its paid-in capital to the amount needed to secure a national bank charter. Organized thus, we are told that certain economic and financial advantages would accrue to stockholders and depositors as well as a much enlarged ability to serve its clients by way of loans. As is well known, bank loans are based chiefly on credit ratings and personal know- FOUR MARCH 31,1933 ledge concerning the businesses or persons applying. The chief function of the bank as originally planned was to help business. The speculative activities that have brought so much disaster and distrust, President Roosevelt is pledged to abolish. Normally, banks and business are reciprocally dependent upon each other; hence, no bank to serve, no business to build or conserve. Unless there be one or more banks so manned and conducted as to be acquainted with our own needs and standings our businesses can scarcely survive much less expand. It is hoped our business people will rise to the occasion. Our picture of the completing of the Savory bust in last week's issue was used by courtesy of the Washington Daily News. We regret our failure to so state. A credit line for an article from the Philadelphia Tribune also failed to get in. We regret the omission. It is but a step from becoming a girl's fiance, to becoming her financier. Underestimation of one's importance is as disastrous at times as overestimation. We believe just plain dependability to be the happy medium, and urge our racial group to close order on this matter. The Shooting of a Boy From the Washington Daily News of March 23 The police were within their rights in giving chase when they saw a car they believed stolen midnight before last. But it is difficult to understand just why a Federal prohibition officer joined in the chase. A 15-year-old colored boy left the car and ran. The police appeared to remember the sections of the manual which forbid them the use of firearms except in self defense. However, the prohibition agent drew a gun and shot the boy. In addition to caution against use of arms, the manual also directs every policemen observing a violation of the law to arrest the culprit. There were three policemen present but none of them arrested the prohibition agent. Why was not the enthusiastic marksman arrested? Why are not the policemen suspended, first, for letting him shoot, and second, for not having arrested him after he shot? To a Brown Girl When Summer's greenery has flown, Then every growing thing takes down A gown of an enchanting shade And like a shyly blushing maid, Retires behind the night to dress And Dawn reveals such loveliness, I've wondered why the color brown Tints Nature's favorite evening gown. I've wondered why her loveliest gown Was tinted always softly brown; Why, after winter's snows and frost, Why, after summer's hopes were lost In death of bird and flower and grass That all her beauty did not pass— Till I saw you with lover's eyes, Then knew that she was very wise! Too Few in School From the Interracial Review (Catholic) The old idea was false, that the Negro was indifferent to education; happy to remain in ignorance, and would never think of a schooling unless the idea had been forced upon him by white enthusiasts. This absurd notion was abundantly dispelled by the tremendous efforts which Negroes have made in recent times for their own educational betterment. Still, the contrary mistake may be made. If it is taken for granted that every Negro boy and girl, everywhere, is panting for a chance to sit at the feet of the Muses, plenty of our young folk will be waking up some fine day to wish they had stored up a little more knowledge when the learning was easy and good. The Rev. William A. Byrd, Negro minister in Bayonne, New Jersey, wrote in January to the Jersey Journal, complaining that he could not find a sign of any colored boy or girl in the graduating class of Bayonne High School. "This is a reflection," he says, "upon the colored people of Bayonne." And he reminds them: "The schools of Hudson County are amirable and stand out as the equals of any state. Every door in these schools is opened to colored boys and girls. If they remain ignorant, it is their fault." So he appeals to church members to further the education of the young people. "Boisterousness, noise, and religious cant will not do for this age. And the young people themselves should see to it that they are sufficiently represented in all the schools of Hudson County." This warning is a reminder that it is not enough to seek opportunity. Opportunity once obtained needs to be used. But the warning may also serve another purpose. Some of our Catholic educators express the fear that if this or that individual colored boy or girl is admitted to their institution, straightway a thousand Negro applicants will besiege the doors, clamoring for admittance. Such alarmists fail to remember that with the young Negro, as with the young white person, the type that seeks an education in the face of difficulties is already exceptional. But they are the material that will bring credit to the school. The Catholic Negro's complaint, in such circumstances, is not concerning the number that is kept out by this policy of exclusion. It is the quality of the few that are thus deprived. The very youths and maidens who are to bring credit to the race and to the Church are the sufferers from a narrow-minded policy. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1933 Kelly Miller Says Hitlerism is Essentially Political and Racial Ku Kluxism Appeal to German Patriotism Is Re-enforced by Race Hate; Jews and Negroes the Chief Victims; Both American and African Negroes Fought Against Germany in the World War. The "furor Teutonicus" has been aroused again and the nations of the earth have taken fright. Hitler, the saber rattler, has made himself master of Germany, with revival of the tocsin: "Das Deutschland eber alles." Appeal to patriotism is re-enforced by the dynamics of hate. The Jew and the Negro form the ready victims of their pent-up racial spleen. There are six hundred thousand Jews in Germany and six hundred Negroes. The Jews are loyal, patriotic and capable. They contribute disproportionately to the intellectual glory of the Fatherland and recruit the professional and learned callings out of all relation to their numerical strength. One might account for the suppression of the Negro on the ground that the Afro-American soldiers fought against the Fatherland in the World War. But not so with the Jews. The German racial animosity is more deeply rooted than loyalty, patriotism or culture. Hitler embodies the spirit and temper of his race and nation. His appeal to race hatred would meet with no response unless the German mind was already sensitized to the appeal. He merely applies the match to the magazine. Hitler wants a pure, unadulterated Nordic race, tall of stature, fair of face and blue of eye. He repudiates the invasion of Asiatic African, Hebraic, and of non-Nordic white blood. The Jew constitutes only one per cent of the German population, the Negro only one per cent of one per cent, and yet all such homeopathic infusion is placed under the ban. NORDICS CONDONE ATROCITIES; RUSSIANS PRACTICE BROTHERHOOD Programs are about to be proclaimed which will make mankind sick. Christianity stands by impotently while the Nordic heathens rage and perpetrate their racial iniquity. We shut our eyes and shudder as we await the outcome. While the self-styled chosen people of Goe are condoning anticipated atrocities, the Russian "bear that looks like a man" is putting in practice the brotherhood of man. Proscription on the score of race or color is expressly forbidden under penalty of dire punishment by the Soviet government. We are not so much impressed with the variant racial attitude of contrasted theories of government as with diverse views of racial! stocks. The Jew and the Negro banished from Germany will be welcome in Russia. The racial policy of the Hitler movement is strikingly similar to that of the neo-Ku Klux Klanism of America. The motive back of the original Ku Klux Klan was primarily political, projected against a racial back-ground. The revived movement was essentially racial without any other understandable motive. The one hundred per cent American must be (1) white, (2) gentle, and (3) Protestant. This shuts out at one swoop the black, brown and yellow races, the Jews, and the non-Protestant, that is, the non-Nordic element of the Caucasian race.

HITLERISM SIMILAR TO THE REVIVED KU KLUX KLAN The Hitler inclusion and the American Klan exclusion were aimed at the same objective and differed only in local application. The deep-seated intolerance of the Nordic spirit underlies them both. The neo-American klanism failed for several obvious reasons. It had its origin in the South and was manned and managed by men from that section. By reason of traditional local handicaps the South has fallen far behind any other section of the Nordic race in practical efficiency and power to bring things to pass. The movement failed because it was too exclusive, and threw the Jew, the Catholic, and the Negro in solidified opposition. In the third place, the movement was destined to fail because of its political involvements. The Southern Protestant constitutes about half the strength of the Democratic party which must needs rely upon its Northern Catholic counterpart for party victory. The rival factions met in Madison Square Garden in 1924 and fought the battle to a draw. The Catholic contingent carried away the party victory in 1928. This sounded the death-knell of the Ku Klux Klan as a political power. The Hitler inclusion and the American Klan exclusion were aimed at the same objective, and differed only in local application.

DEMOCRATS REPUDIATED KLAN; REPUBLICANS CODDLED IT In the meantime the recent order was making inside headway in the Republican party Men of the highest position and rank in the Grand Old Party were suspected of klan pro-activities. Its wake could be easily traced Spreading from the South, it traversed the middle Western states and swept through Western Pennsylvania, New York and the up per New England states. The path of the movement skillfully avoided the great cities where the Catholic and Hebraic proportion of the population made its invasion inexpedient. In both of the great political parties, the apparent political possibilities of the movement all but deceived the elite and the elect. But happily a sober second thought asserted itself when it was discovered that our racial, religious balance is too delicately adjusted to serve the politician's game. And so the dynamic In the meantime the recent order was making inside headway in the Republican party. Men of the highest position and rank in the Grand Old Party were suspected of klan proclivities. Its wake could be easily traced. Spreading from the South, it traversed the middle Western states and swept through Western Pennsylvania, New York and the upper New England states. The path of the movement skillfully avoided the great cities where the Catholic and Hebraic proportion of the population made its invasion inexpedient. In both of the great political parties, the apparent political possibilities of the movement all but deceived the elite and the elect. But happily a sober second thought asserted itself when it was discovered that our racial, religious balance is too delicately adjusted to serve the politicians' game. And so the dynamic of race hatred was abandoned as a practical political instrument. Let us also hope that Adolph Hitler's momentary bad eminence based on race prejudice and proscription will crumble under his feet like a pyramid of sand. In the meantime, this sinister insurgence of race passion exemplified in the Hitler movement should cause submerged minorities in all parts of the globe to indulge in some long distance thinking. Running Away By BEATRICE MURPHY "I promised my Lord that I would not— That I wouldn't run away when the battle got hot." Out of my childhood those words come back to me from the lips of a relative of mine who died when I was less than ten. I can't remember where the words came from, and whether they were recited or sung. There must surely have been more than that. Those are all that I can remember. And they always call to my mind those courageous souls of another generation who faced the dangers which surrounded them, with a song on their lips. Those souls who sang to keep up their courage, but seldom ran away. One of the strangest things in life to me is the number of people who can be perfect bulwarks of sympathy and inspiration to others; yet, when their big moment comes to "face the music," they play the coward and run away. I once knew a man who could always be depended upon in a crisis. He had that quiet dependable personality from which strength seems to flow when you need it most. Yet I don't believe that man ever faced squarely one situation in his rather crowded and interesting career. His life had been full of opportunities to show the same courage and strength and cheer that he demanded of his friends. But he funked every one of them, and ran away. There are some people who spend their lives running away from things. There are others who stay and fight it out for the sheer love of battle, and because it never occurs to them to do otherwise. There are still brave souls in the world. What do you mean by running away? One can't always run away, even when he wants to. If you're rich, you can hire a yacht or board a train, and get away from the world. But a poor man can't do it; and of course the ironical part of the situation is that it's the poor man who seems to have the most things to run away from—who seems to be swamped with calamities. What do you mean by running away? Just this. Sometimes life leaves a situation on your threshold, and says, "Here's a problem for you. Solve it. Here's a fight for you. Enter it. Here's an adventure for you. Seek it. Here's a pain that will lead to triumph. Bear it." We know exactly what has been left on our doorstep. But walk out of the door and either around, or step over what we find there—and run away. Or it may be that what life brings is so near to us that we can't ignore it. But we must never let the world know that we've been hurt. Never let the world know that—like a little child going to his mother for approbation—we went to life for a friendly approving pat on the back and got—a resounding smack on the cheek. So what do we do? Assume a mask of indifference. Become hard and cold and cynical. Brittle. We call it protection against unjust hurts, but it's really another form of cowardice. We use harsh, bitter words to tran.ple on the hearts of men and destroy their faith with our cynicism. Simply because life gave us our share of spinach as well as cake, we insure against being hurt by building round ourselves a shell that cannot be pierced. Only a few realize that although we are hard and cold, we are also brittle and can be snapped in two. So we live in our cowardly shells and fling epithets at the world—destroy the peace and beauty in the lives of others while we remain outwardly impervious to hurt. That's the way that some of those whom we have leaned upon and thought of as brave men react to life when their turn comes. We are disappointed in them, and hurt—more than hurt. Our confidence is replaced by contempt for their weakness. But life goes on—The "wake" prosper, and we, who, stayed to face the music seem to be continually fighting to hold the place that we had to fight to get. Sometimes I wonder whether God doesn't get rather amused and laugh at our poor feeble attempts to reach at least some degree of human perfection. It must be funny to Him, because He realizes how simple it all is. I wonder whether life is tragic, or comic; or just plain silly. Even misery sometimes becomes grotesque, does it not? And who knows whether laughter is not running away? Booker T. Said "I believe that every day is a day of judgment, that we reap our rewards daily, and that whenever we sin we are punished by mental and physical anxiety and by a weakened character that separates us from God. "Every day is, I take it, a day of judgment, and we learn God's laws and grow into his likeness we shall find our reward in this world in a life of usefulness and honor." WHAT IS PATRIOTISM? Mr. Perry W. Howard in his effusive appeal last week for the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People referred to the association as "just radical enough and conservative enough to press the Negro's demands along twixt the Scylla of patriotism and the Charybdis of communism." Of course Mr. Howard experienced a lapse of memory when writing that intended pagenygr; for, while he evidently intended to give communism a slap, his unfortunate simile implied that both patriotism and communism were to be avoided. Scylla, if memory serves me right, was a dangerous rock on one side of the Strait of Messina while Charybdis was an equally dangerous whitpool opposite—both great perils. Mr. Howard's simile betrayed further confusion of thought in that he evidently intended to suggest that patriotism and communism are incompatible. It would be an effort of supererogation to attempt to argue Mr. Howard out of such an erroneous and unjust accusation. Nor is it conceivable how such intemperate language can help the cause he seeks to assist. If Mr. Howard speaks by the book—if indeed the N.A.A.C.P. is a partisan organization—if it purpose is to foster certain political propaganda rather than to furnish racial defense—then we are entitled to plain statements, not implications or innuendos. After all, what is patriotism and who—lesides the 100 per cent Nordic K.K.K. are patriots?

The Pot's Calling the Frying Pan Black. To the Editor: For the past two weeks these United States have been voicing embittered opinions against Germany's persecution of the Jews, under the Hitler's rule of iron. As a colonization of these opinions and thoughts, a populous mass meeting was held last Monday night in New York's Madison Square Garden. At this mass meeting, to which 22,000 men, women and children flocked, such representative figures as ex-Governor Alfred Smith, Senator Robert Wagner, Bishop Manning of the Protestant churches in America, Rabbi Stephen Wise and Mayor O'Brien of New York City expressed their vigorous and dissenting attitudes towards Germany's anti-Semitic stand. The irony of such a demonstration can easily be expressed in that ancient phrase, the case of "the old black pot calling the frying pan black." And why irony? Right here on the enlightened shores of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, stranger to these lands will find persecution practiced to its highest level. The American Negro is without a doubt the most persecuted race in the world. The theoretically he possesses all the legal rights of an American citizen, but he is actually treated as an outcast and a social slave. He is segregated, ostracized, lynched, burned at stakes—in other words treated as "a man without a country." Based on these facts, can America afford to criticise Germany? Cannot Germany point with equal finger of damnation to America's persecution of her black kin-folk? "the pot's calling the frying pan black." Why Does Blanton Take Up for the Persecuted Jews, but Remains Silent on Oppression of Negroes? To the Editor: During the course of a speech in the House on Monday by Representative Sirowich, Democrat, of New York, on the treatment of Jews in Germany, Representative Blanton, Democratic, of Texas, interrupted him to say that "there is an unreasonable, foolish persecution of Jews right here in the nation's capital." Blanton said that some apartment houses would not rent to Jews and that in some sections of the city, they could not buy residences. He said "we ought to get this ridiculous persecution right here in the nation's Capital out of the way before we go into this foreign question." Mr. Blanton did not mention the fact that the same sort of discrimination is practiced here against Negroes. Maybe he does not know it, maybe he doesn't SPECIAL FEATURES Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell THE FADING COLOR LINE. With England flying to Italy, France making overtures to America, Germany on her rocking horse, Japan and China playing see-saw, India gaining a measure of independence, quakes and tornadoes in our own country, the whirlwind actions of congress, beer starting to ferment, hundreds of banks opening and hundreds more remaining closed, with all of these happenings, in spite of the protest organizations, the color line seems to have faded during the recent days. And if we lost any recognition in Liberia and Haiti we, at least gained attention at Washington. When the president will send a White House car to bring to him a retiring department employee, and that employee is colored, we need not ask whether the employee was efficient or not. And when the same president will have a colored clerk transferred from another department to the White House, again, we need not ask whether the employee is efficient. In both instances, efficiency accomplished results that protests never would accomplish. Why, we even read, during the week, of a colored journalist being admitted to the White House press conference. Indeed, throughout the country, many appointments were made, of purely local significance it's true, but they were made, seemingly, without the usual fanfare of protests, supplications or demands that Negroes receive recognition. On the contrary, they seem to have been made as the result of cold reasoning, sense of fitness and right, along with a conscientious policy of giving the "forgotten man a chance in the "new deal." In West Virginia one Negro succeeds another in a position that has been held by the Negroes for nearly two decades. But in Detroit a colored man succeeds a white banker on an institutional committee that is of much significance because of the unusual honors bestowed. Usually, the appointment of a person of color to such positions as messengers, clerks, stenographers, investigators and assistants is heralded far and wide, but when a colored person is placed on the committee that controls the policies, expenditures and personnel, then, we are inclined to think that the color line is beginning to fade. An editorial in a leading national Negro paper, which is presumed to be the "mouthpiece" for the "new deal" party now in power, states that many might be surprised to learn that certain leaders are not so anxious for, or interested in, securing jobs for certain Negroes, as they are for securing rights, privileges and representation for all Negroes. And if this attitude is not merely a shield for an apparent lack of individual influence then we must heartily applaud those sentiments. A few more catastrophes, making the whole nation kin, and we will soon learn that being ready, being efficient, and being useful is of greater value and influence than being vociferous in protests. Virgin Islands Want Some Home Rule From the St. Thomas, V.I., Bulletin On Friday, February 24, Theodore Schroeder closed his radio talk over WPCH in New York with these words: "The dictatorship which Governor Paul M. Pearson asked the present Congress to confirm is going into the discard, where it belongs. The Virgin Islanders are a unit in the hope that President-elect Roosevelt will recommend to the new Congress the passage of a new Organic Act for the Virgin Islands. They want it to provide at least a little home rule—and a little more authority for shaping their own destiny. Will the Democratic party, now coming into power, confer upon them some of the popular sovereignty enjoyed on the continent?" care. If he doesn't, why doesn't he?

I like to read the opinions of others — opinions that are not necessarily controlled by the policy of the paper. I try to interest the younger members of my family to write to you — they have very interesting discussions at home, and I try to get them to send in brief letters to you. I look forward to "Our Mail" because it helps me to keep from becoming one-sided in my opinions. A MOTHER READER. IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER "A TALE OF TROY" "A Tale of Troy" by John Masefield, poet-laureate of England, is a volume of new poems which tells in stirring fashion the whole pageant of the sack of Troy—of the elopement of Helen, Menelaus's wrath and plot for revenge, the sacrifice of Iphigenia and the ruse of the wooden horse. Each poem is complete and makes up a lyrical unit in a dramatic ensemble. It is a Mac Millan publication worthy of serious reading, and discussion by literary clubs. Price $1.50.

Mitchell, one of our columnists, asserts that having had nearly twenty years personal contact with crimes and criminals (from an inside knowledge) per haps the best tribute I can pay this book, "Crimes and Criminals," is that Dr. White, the author, certainly knows his facts. Perhaps I should further explain that in making this statement, usually, the books I have read, dealing with crimes and criminals, for the most part, have been written by those whose knowledge, seemingly, has been of a glossary or superficial nature. While the book contains fourteen chapters, briefly, I would say that it is divided equally in two parts. The first part, although rather dry reading, explains the science of psychiatry, particularly in its application to crimes and criminals. The last half of the book actually applies psychiatry to present day penological conditions; citing definite examples; describing the weakness, both in theory and practice, in the manner of handling most prisoners, especially in those states whose prisons are still controlled by the old-fashioned hit and miss political system. "Crimes and Criminals" will appeal not only to active sociological workers but to all thinkers who seek facts, constructive criticisms, and convincing and logical theories on the subject of crimes and criminals. DO YOU LIKE CHESS? "The Hakow Queen" by Frank E. Gaebelein, is a piece of fiction for absorbing interest and a themes that is almost unique in the annals of successful stories. Chess is the oldest and greatest of all the purely intellectual games. Down through the ages it has exerted a powerful fascination on hosts of remarkable men and women as well as on myriads of the rank and file. Strangely enough, however, fiction that unites a technically correct knowledge of chess with good writing and narrative power is so rare as to be practically non-existent. "The Hollow Queen," therefore, fills a definite place. But the book is far more than a study in chess. It is a thrilling tale with a well-plotted element of mystery and a subtle interplay of psychological forces. Its greatest literary value lies perhaps in the penetrating characterization of Sir Alexander Fraling, the central figure of the book, whose passion for chess leads to a strange and fascinating series of events.

And we see but the sunset, When we should see the dawn, Then, old age has arrived, For experience, not time, Has multiplied years, Made existence sublime. ***** If visions still linger, And illusions are sweet, We see naught of sunset, But the dawn ever greet, Then youth still remains, And life has no alarms, Ee its years few or many, Divine are its charms.

Robinson, John Sewell, and Julian C. Irvin. After the program a delicious repast was served, Misses Irene F. Harris and Josie M. Lewis serving as hostesses.

By ALICE M. MARTIN hab oa Eaeee eee wa -. A gallon jug, @ Wesh-board and a skillet are the Inst things one would expect to find around the National Broadcasting Company's stildios on Fifth Avenue, But in the case of the Southern Singers, heard four nights each week over NBC networks, the kitchen utensils are all importantt. ‘The Southern Singers are radio entertainers whose prototytpe dates back to pre-Civil War days when Negro slaves discovered the rhyth- ‘mic possibilities of such a quaint ‘ensemble, And, believe it or not, the South- ern Singers are a male quartet and still not a male quartet, They qualify as such in that they use male quartet arrangements, but fail to measure up to the standard in that they are but. three-fourths male, the fourth member being feminine. ‘Annie Laurie Ward, who de- seribes her voice as-“alto” carries the tenor when the four Southern Singers harmonize over NBC-WJZ networks at 11:00 p.m., B.S,7., on Monday and. Thursday; at 8:46 7:15 p.m., E,S.T., on Wednesday, The other three members of the quartet are Owen, James and Rob- ert Ward, A debate between the under- graduates of Columbia University and Oxford University will be heard over the WABC-Columbia network on Saturday, April 8, at 6 pm, ‘Oxford will uphold the affirma- tive of the resolution, “That De- mocracy Has Failed,” while their arguments will be opposed by Co- lumbia, with Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler presiding. ‘The debate, under the auspices of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys tem and British Broadcasting Cor- poration, will be heard throughout North America and Great Britian. Geraldine Garrick, director and co-adaptor of Roark Bradford's “John Henry,” Ne folk lore se- ries, hails. originally from Minne- apolis and played Swedish heed on Broadway. She learned direction under Frohman, Brady, Cohan and Henry Miller, and puts the radio cast through three long rehearsals for each production. Six months’ preparation preceded the premiere of the series. Juano Hernandez, portrayet of dohn Henry and co-adaptor, spends the entire week arranging the show's original folk tunes, Then, like a mad cheer-leader, tosses aside his coat and crouches before the “mike” to lead the singers without one bar of written music, Rose McClendon, dramatic star of “Porgy,” “Deep River”. and “Abraham's Bosom,” usually sits paras ‘on the sidelines and when er turn’ comes, rises to. interpret her a ty pene ening’ drop’ for an. evening's knit- ‘ting. One of the leading actresses af the Negro race, Biss Meclendon says she never had ambitions to act, but studied to teach children dramatic expression. In. 1927, she was induced to act in Walter: Dav- enport's “Justice,” and since has starred in every great play built around the Negro race.

BELOVED MINISTER AND COMMUNITY WORKER LAID TO REST SECOND SECTION BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S BELOVED BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Washington at Random by George T. Waugh YES INDEEDY Walter Winechell says, "A newspaper column, when it isn't a serious one, should be as amusing as possible. It is a poor newspaper these days that does not employ a columnist; that is, somebody who shall say short and pithy things—or at least try to. PENTHOUSE DOWNSTAIRS It has become quite a fashionable fad these days to convert our heretofore unused cellars (maybe you call it a basement) into modernistic studios, recreation rooms, dens, and what have you, which to my mind is quite a swell idea. Spotted at random about the city beautiful I know of a few very picturesque and cleverly decorated popular basement pent-houses, and two in particular which a very smart and interesting clique frequent. Now across town another one of these places has opened under the placid and disarming disguise of a "studio," but between you, me, and the gate-post I think that is just another name for a speakeasy. Nevertheless the place is very unique and quite cozy, too. Small tables line the walls, soft lights, two radios, a piano and the walls even boast murals, that is if one can call designs by a free lance artist such. All in all the place is well worthy of a visit, but since I have been scribbling I've forgotten where it is. I do think these places would greatly intrigue public fancy if they were given such colorful monickers as "The Dugout," "Subway," and what not. Sadie was a good skirt; in fact the best frail that ever walked lower Seventh Street, but her one great fault was that she would stay grogged up. On this particular Saturday night Sadie was in her cup and that cup was running over. The chop suey joint was doing rushing business—a battered nickel piano was grinding out raspy tunes and the after show crowd from the Mid-City theatre was having a ball. Sadie, half walking, half staggering, entered the place and for some reason made straight for the corner where I sat eating alone. "Hello, dearie," she beamed with an arched smile. "Gotta extra dope stick?" And before I had time to offer my cigarette case she had flopped into a chair opposite me. "I guess I'll take a cup of coffee, too," she added with a careless gesture. The coffee was brought in and Sadie began to unravel her life to me—one of those "no-mother-to-guide-her" affairs. Why, of course there was a man—it takes two to make a world. If you asked me where the other woman came from I would tell you that I do not know. I happened to look up and there standing above us was a bloated, foul-mouthed woman with a murderous scowl upon her face. "You lousy skunk," she squealed. "I'll teach you to muscle in on my territory." "Who, me?" Sadie feigned surprised and looked at the hag unpishly. "You can't say that to me, dearie-why, I'm a lady, I am." With the swiftness of cats the two lit into each other and began pulling hair and uttering foul oaths. I smothered a scream when I saw a head roll across the floor, but on closer inspection it turned out to be a wig. Things were just getting good when a burly copper walked in. "Hey, there, youse two at it again, huh?" He gave them both a cuff as he tore them apart. "Come on, girlies, let's take a nice little ride." One of the women began to sob, but not Sadie. No, honey. Sadie, with an aloof unconcern began to prepare her toilet; she nonchalantly brushed her worn coat-suit and adjusted her hat at a sporty slant, then turning to the copper she jeered: "Say, big boy, gimme a cigarette and bring the car 'round to the front door; I'm a lady, I am. Why, my family—" The door closed as the triw went down to the waiting wagon. HEARD "Barney," the popular lad about the Main Stem, who is famous about these parts for his swollen formal birthday parties, did throw his annual hot scronch at the Crystal Caverns, Friday night last, and, oh, boy, what a gay soiree. Each couple was greeted at the door with something cheerful. Junior—I owe all I have to one woman Sophomore—Your mother? Junior—No, my landlady—Long Lines IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE JUNIOR N.A.A.C.P STARTS DRIVE FOR MEMBERSHIPS JUNIOR N.A.A.C.P STARTS DRIVE FOR MEMBERSHIPS Miss Daisy Lampkins to Address High School Assemblies The Junior National Association for the Advancement of Colored People launched its annual membership drive Saturday at its meeting held at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A.

"The Whiteheaded Boy" to Be Repeated The College Alumnae Club has announced that their play, "The Whiteheaded Boy," which was produced with outstanding success at the Armstrong High School on March 11, will be repeated by popular demand on April 15.

The cast included: Valerie Parks, C. Bernard Ruffin, Wendall R. Quinn, Grace M. Desmond, Ernest C. Reed, Angella F. Turpeau, James L. Thompson, Rosalind W. Butcher, and Catheline Middleton. The play was directed by T. Lovell, with the assistance of James Butcher, Jr. 一 The Bank Situation According to the New York Age: "Thousands of Harlem business men and residents are still feeling the effects of the bank holiday which was declared nationally several weeks ago, for the Mercantile Bank and Trust Company's Harlem branch, located at 135th Street and Seventh Avenue, still remains closed for normal business conditions. "Interviewed by a reporter for The New York Age, Charles G. Rapp, manager, was unable to give any statement as to the condition of the bank and said that he hoped to be authorized by the main office to give some statement for publication in the near future." The Dunbar News (New York) states: "The Dunbar National Bank of New York was one of the select banks of the United States to receive from the Secretary of the Treasury a license to resume a normal business. Monday, March 13. The public's confidence in the soundness of the Dunbar Bank was attested by the fact that up to noon that day more money was deposited than withdrawn. "One of the first deposits was of old gold certificates in denominations of $100 and $50 which had been hoarded by the owner for years. The decision to give up the certificates was reached after hearing President Roosevelt's statement to the American people over the radio the previous Sunday evening." The Mercantile Trust in Harlem trailed the other financial institutions in the city by at least 48 hours. Worst of all many prominent Harlemites who have heretofore beat the depression have received the bad news that they cannot withdraw more than 10 per cent of their deposits. At the same time no deposits are being accepted. The Mercantile Trust, like the Dunbar National, another Harlem bank, is a member of the Federal Reserve System, but is said to be in some difficulties with the local Governor of the bank system. Both of the banks are owned by white people, but cater to Negro patronage. Virginia Banks After observing the President's and Governor's bank holiday the Consolidated Bank & Trust Company, of Richmond, Va., opened March 13. After the close of the first day's business, Emmett C. Burke, the president, stated that the bank had operated on the 100 per cent basis, and that the deposits for the first day had exceeded the withdrawals by more than $7000.00. Unusual confidence by Richmond citizens is being shown. Banks that have opened for unrestricted business are: The Tuskegee Institute Savings Bank, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; the Consolidated Bank, Richmond, Va.; Mechanics and Farmers Bank, Durham, N. C.; Citizens' Trust Company, Atlanta, Ga.; Fraternal Bank and Trust Co., Fort Worth, Tex.; the Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Co., Philadelphia, Pa.; Citizens and Savings Bank and Trust Co., Nashville, Tenn.; Harry O. Wilson Bank, Baltimore, Md. Those doing limited or restricted business are: Crown Savings Bank, Newport News, Va.; Industrial Savings Bank, Washington, D. C., with W. H. C. Brown as conservator. The three banks that are expected to open are; the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. Norfolk, Va.; Danville Savings Bank and Trust Co., Danville, Va.; Victory Savings Bank, Columbia, S. C. The Merchants and Farmers Bank at Boley, Oklahoma, which was closed following the tragic slaying by bandits, of the president, David Turner, to forestall any hysteria which might result from the incident, is at the present time in the process of liquidation. Pestalozzi-Froebel Society to Have "Hobby Night" Members of the Pestalozzi-Froebel Society of Howard University, are making unusual preparations for their annual "Happy Night" at the medical school auditorium on Tuesday evening, April 4.

Since no cost is involved in these productions, no admission fee is coarged and all meetings are open to the public. Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1933 Studying Negro in Politics A. B. GEORGE F. ROBINSON, Jr., professor of political science, Lincoln University, Missouri, who is making a study of the Negro in politics in the State of Missouri at the present time. He holds both the A.B. and the A.M. degrees in political science from Northwestern University and has taught political science in Lincoln Uni- DISTINGUISHED FRENCH DIPLOMAT TO SPEAK HERE DISTINGUISHED FRENCH DIPLOMAT TO SPEAK HERE Dr. Carter G. Woodson announced, Wednesday, that the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History will present, in a public address in Washington during the week of April 17, M. Pierre de Lanux, one of the most distinguished diplomats of France, and at present director of the Paris office of the League of Nations. A reception will be given at the Phyllis Wheatley Association building. M. de Lanux speaks perfect English. His addresses before the faculty and student body of West Virginia State College and of Spelman College at Atlanta, have evoked the highest commendation for his effective delivery and his complete mastery of all questions pertaining to the affairs of the League of Nations and correlated international matters. Student of American Problems M. de Lanux is also a competent student of American problems and has written several books from his observations made in various tours through the United States. The Association or the Study of Negro Life and History is anxious to have him come into contact with a larger number of representative Negroes. His associations which have been largely with the other race in America may leave the wrong impression. Inasmuch as he is now writing to interpret America to France it is highly important that the Negro be properly set forth in that picture. M. de Lanux discusses such important questions as the Manchurian conflict, the trend of internal politics in certain countries toward more aggressive nationalism, and the scarcity of material results reached by the Disarmament Conferences. He sees such hopeful aspects as an unanimity of world opinions as expressed regarding Far Eastern conflicts, of political evolution in certain countries toward more liberalism and constructiveness, and the close co-operation, on loyal and friendly terms, of the United States with the League both in the Far Eastern countries and at the Disarmament Conference. M. de Lanux will show that Negroes are affected by the league in many ways that escape the attention of the casual student. It was at Geneva that the present Haitian Minister to the United States, M. Dantes Bellegarde, in a speech still mentioned as a classic in the annals of the league, brought about action that caused the Union of South Africa to discontinue its brutal treatment of the helpless natives of Bondelzwarts. Moreover, under the supervision of the league are more than ten million Africans who live in the so-called mandated areas. Many observers are convinced that the international supervision of the League of Nations assures more equitable treatment of the natives than they receive in the colonies. The League of Nations, in substance, is a sounding board from which representatives of oppressed people send forth to an enlightened world public opinion the message of their grievances. Just what the league has done and not done, can do and cannot do, few persons are better qualified to state than is M. de Lanux. Oldest Inhabitants Re-elect Watson as President The colored Association of Oldest Inhabitants reelected Samuel Watson for the seventh consecutive time as president of the organization at the regular meeting held Monday night at the 12th street branch Y.M.C.A. Other officers elected included George Stewart, vice president; George L. Walton, secretary and Edward Smith, treasurer. The association voted to hold its annual banquet on the night of April 18, at Calvary P. E. Church Parish Hall. CIVIC FEDERATION VOTES CHANGE IN ITS CONSTITUTION CIVIC FEDERATION VOTES CHANGE IN ITS CONSTITUTION Standing Committee to be Allowed to Initiate Own Studies The Federation of Civic Associations at a meeting in the board room of the District Building Friday night amended its constitution to permit standing committees to initiate studies of civic matters and present recommendations to the federation, for action by that body and for referendum to constituent associations. The amendment offered at a previous meeting by J. C. Payne, is calculated to expedite the handling of committee matters which formerly could be studied only when referred by the federation. Reporting for the educational committee, W. H. Lewis, chairman, stated that the Toner Tuberculosis School had a capacity enrollment of 66 pupils and that there are more than 50 children classed as infected but not able to go to school. "The only way to get into the Toner School" said Mr. Lewis "is for a vacancy to occur by death, or by the moving of a child's parents; both of which are remote. Since the existing law prohibits tubercular children, from attending a school where other pupils are, we urge the board of education to provide temporary facilities for the 50 or more children now out of school." Mr. Lewis also stated that there is no agency keeping tabs on these children out of school and urged that the board of education authorize some agency to keep a check on them. J. A. G. LuValle offered a resolution of condolence with reference to the late Ida G. Richardson, wife of Dr. George H. Richardson, president emeritus of the federation, which was adopted. The committee on public health and sanitation was ordered to study and report on the alley housing conditions in the District. The committee on legislation was directed to consider and report on the advisability of affiliating with the National Negro Legislative Council. Mrs. L. B. DuBesette of the Associated Charities was presented and extended her appreciation to the federation for its interest in the tubercular children. She was accompanied by Mrs. W. H. Lewis, also a case worker of the Associated Charities. Health Week at Howard University Health Week at Howard University, featured with an exhibit, "Avoid Medical Quackery," loaned by the American Medical Association, with central offices in Chicago, will be observed April 3-9, in the corrective gymnasium, east wing, on the campus. This exhibition is in keeping with the latest trend in health education-visual health education—which aims to prevent illness rather than allow its development, and is held in collaboration with the National Negro Health Week. Included in the health service of the university is the periodic physical examination procedure which gives attention to detail, full treatment of all illnesses in the university community. Dr. E. H. Allen is director of the University Health Service, with Drs. Cyril A. Walwyn and Dr. Dorothy Boulding-Ferebee as assistants. Mrs. Eva J. Gomez and Miss Mildred L. Wood are nurses.

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER EXCAVATING FOR NEW VOCATIONAL SCHOOL FOR BOYS EXCAVATING FOR NEW VOCATIONAL SCHOOL FOR BOYS Will Have Nine Classrooms Twelve Shops; Designed for 450 Pupils Steam shovels are busy removing 130 cubic yards of dirt from the basement and foundation for a new Phelps Trade School for boys, on the 42-acre tract of school land at 24th street and Bennings road, northeast. The building, which is to cost $266,000, will be located to the rear of the Browne Junior High School and the Young Platoon School now located on this tract. It will be on an elevation of fifteen feet above the foundation of the Young building and will center between this and the Browne building. Like the other buildings, it will face the East, overlooking the Eastern branch of the Potomac river, about three blocks West of it. F. E. Parks, principal of the Phelps School, states that the plans can for a building 210 feet frontage and running back 224 feet. This plant will be erected in two sections, the front section to be two stories high, on the junior high type of architecture. In this section there will be nine class rooms, one science room, a library-study hall, the business office, a conference room and four shops. In the basement there is to be a cafeteria, teachers' dining room, kitchen and heating plant. Twelve Shops In the rear of this section will be twelve shops, built in six units, 60 by 60 feet, with two shops to the unit. These shops will be connected with the front section by large corridors, presenting the whole as a unit under one roof. This will be a one story building on the factory type. Each shop will have a large work room, director's office, tool closets, toilets and drinking fountains, so that the pupil will not have to leave the shop for anything. The capacity will be 450 pupils. There will be two general shops which are to serve for pre-vocational work with new pupils. They are to be arranged so that a boy may spend six weeks in one or the other, with the view of finding his adaptability and natural trend for a given trade before he enters the shop where that trade is taught. Once placed in a shop, it is expected the pupil will remain in that trade until he finishes the school. Offered Twelve Courses The trades now taught at the Phelps school on Vermont avenue, near U street, northwest, are: auto mechanics, auto machine practice, bricklaying, carpentry, drafting, printing and shoe repairing. In addition to these trades there will be added plumbing, welding, painting, electricity and tailoring. It will mean an addition to the faculty of about nine instructors and teachers. With a similar building for the white boys, Washington will have one of the most modern elective trade or vocational courses offered anywhere by the public schools. These schools are the outgrowth of the recommendations of the advisory committee on vocational training working with the board of education. The Washington, D.C., Democratic Negro Central Club held its regular meeting at its headquarters, 1007 U Street, Northwest, on Monday evening. I. W. Bennett presided.

BAPTIST CLERGY PROTEST BEER SALE HERE Conference Felt Slighted at the Funeral of the Rev. W. L. Washington The Baptist Ministers' Conference passed the resolution, Monday, protesting the sale of beer in the District of Columbia, which was offered by the Rev. S. A. Young, at the meeting last week. The conference sent the resolution to the executive committee last week and it made a favorable report on it at the meeting, Monday, at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. It was passed without a dissenting vote. The executive committee asked to continue its consideration of the National Negro Legislative Council as to the advisability of becoming a member thereof. The Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, and the Rev. J. P. Nichols, secretary of the conference, expressed the fact that the conference was slighted on the program at the funeral of the Rev. W. L. Washington, at the Zion Baptist Church, Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Smith said that the ministry is the most honorable profession in the world and since the Rev. Mr. Washington was a member of this conference, this conference should have had representation on that program. The Rev. Mr. Nichols said he was very much embarrassed because the conference was slighted. He stated that the School of Religion at Howard was given a place on the program, and he felt the conference should have been so honored. The Rev, J. P. Nichols was called upon to fill the order of the day and delivered a sermon on "The Retrospective and Prospective View of the Present Situation Regarding the Negro and Religion." His theme was "Be Courageous." In the discourse he recited the accomplishments of Joshua in going over the River Jordan and possessing the land, reciting the attack and describing the fall of Jerico.

Thurman 1, Dodson, attorney, spoke for the lawyers of the city in their city-wide program in all of the churches here. ‘The presiding elder preached from Matt, 7:13-l4, “Enter ye in ‘at the straight gate.” He began his discourse by say- ing that we are all travelers to the dar of God on two great highways, one leading to eternal life, the oth- er to destruction.

PREXY ADDRESS SSeeee MOVUODS ASKING Feel OF the job situation for colored youth in. Baltimore, were’ signed by the large audience in atyendance at the City-wide Young People's Forum assembled to” hear’ Dr. Mordecai. W.. Johnson-.at Bethel AME. Church Friday night. ‘The petitions, which were passed out. following an address by the Howard University president, ask- ed that Negro youth be permitted to enter the training classes and to fill jobs in the Enoch Pratt Free Library, that a larger. per cent of the employed workers in the Fami- ly Welfare Association be selected “from the colored group, and that married. women; whose husbands are- able to support them. be re- moved from the public. schools in order to give a wider distribution of jobs. Miss Juanita E, Jackson, presi- dent of the Forum, stated that the organization had gone back to the original charter of the Enoch Pratt Library, in basing its claim ty share in its available jobs, Two persons who have made applica tions to take the library training course werd told by Miss Catherine Ball, director of the library train- ing ‘class, that, "It just’ simply isn't being done.” ‘The two applicants are both college graduates, one having a master’s degree, whereas the quali- fications require only four years of high school training with good record, ‘The Forum has also made a sur- vey of the duplication of jobs in the public schools. It was found, stated Miss Jockson, that there were twenty-five cases where hus- bands and wives are both teaching, and fifty more where husbands are in a: position to support their wives. Dr. Johnson, in a talk of an hour and a half, outlined a theory of a simple back-to-nature plan of life that he considered ideal. Claiming that too much of life was taken up with providing food, clothes and shelter, he stated that in the future men would live in small houses; live off four or five hours’ work a day and devote the remaining hours in getting out of doors, looking at flowers, talking to friends; training animals, ad- miring birds, and enjoying nature in all its beauty. The small house, Dr, Johnson propounded, will do away with ex- cessive housekeeping and the need for outside help. Every woman will keep her own house and be satisfied since all homes will be small, thus preventing the struggle to “Keep up with the Joneses.” No home is so humble that it can- not be the center of endeavor to live the highest kind of life, he said, We are now living on the instal- ment plan spending 125 per cent of our incomes, he declared.

Get the idea that, living means getting what they have. .There is’ A question as to whether ta: man’ is himself convinced that he has the way of fife. He, may be usking himself the same question, What shall he do to be saved?” Dr. Johnson, whose subject was “epiritual orientation,” admitted that his speech; was: long but. ex- plained that one cannot. give a fheory of life invan hour and .a half. ‘The speaker, was: introduced by Dean J.

EMMETT SCO DESCRIBES HUGE TOLL OF ILLNESS In a talk on “Health and Edu- cation,” at Madison Street Presby- terian Church Sunday morning, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary’ of Howard University, pointed out the enormous toll in labor, money and lives lost yearly in this country through illness. He stated that out of every 100 men drafted in the World War 36 could not. be retained for service because of physical unfitness. Peo- ple of the United States have al- ways considered illness a private misfortune, Today, however, great universities such as Hopkins and Columbia are now beginning to establish schools of public health, It is estimated, he said, that in the, sauthern states ‘alone 5,000 people are seriously ill, with tuber- culosis taking the greatest toll in life and money. Uf the 600,000 persons who die yearly with this disease about 150,000 might be saved, and the $350,000 lost. from this disease. If the colored and whites would unite and fight this disease its evils could be reduced. In ‘New York, with a colored population slightly larger than Baltimore, it is estimated that 10,000 colored people are sick most of the time with a subsequent loss jf earnings of two million and a aif, doctor's bills of a million and a half and funeral costs of $125,000 to $500,000. Two million dollars could be saved in New York alone by preventive measures against disease. Dr, Scott stressed the import- ance of a sound mind in a sound body, and concluded his address with a charge to Negro youth to make full use of the right fran- chise and of their educational op- portunities. “How many,” he queried, “are keeping up with the current’ events of the day as told in the hundreds of newspapers and periodicals? How many know of the achievements of the race, and of the lives and experiences of men and women of the race in the past? A race that does not know its own history can not demand the respect of the world,” Referring to this period of eco- nomic stringency, he said: “By mass co-operation, you can secure unto yourselves all of the saving factors which are helping other men and women to overcome the trials and tribulations of the present day. “A program calling for an inte- grated, rather than a segregated citizenship would undoubtedly bring about economic security, stability, based upon an intelligently direct- ed program of thrift, as opposed to profligate waste, materially and s0- cially, I know of no organization better fitted by education, initia- tive, eitizenship-standing, ete., than the members of this Men's Club to undertake the leadership of such a movement at this time when so many people of our race, and of the world, are discouraged and bewil- dered.” The address was a feature of the men's day program, with Carring- ton L. Davis presiding. James A. B; Callis, chairman. The guest so- loist for the occasion was A, John- son Holsey, tenor, who sang, “The Penitent.” | Other musical selec- tions were sung by the famous quartet choir of the church.

FATHER DIVINE AND 300 FOLLOWERS HERE FOR DAY’S MEETING With three hundred followers, who came in six busses and about fifteen or more private cars, bring- ing a new doetrine which proclaiins heaven on earth, the Rev, Major Je Divine, of New York, better known as “Father Divine,” arrived in Bal- timore Tuesday ' morning about 10:30, for a day’s meeting om his peace tour. ‘During the morning the short, stocky, bald brown-skinned pastor sat calmly ‘back on the stage of the Elks’ Hall, where the session was held, saying nothing while numerous’ followers, mostly wo- men, twisted in strange contortions, meanwhile proclaiming how he had saved them from breaking all the commandments and how he cared for them, One devotee, repeatedly turning, said that God was wrapped up im that little piece of brown flesh, and brought the echoes of “It's wonderful, father, truty woniler= ful,” resounding ‘throughout the throng of listeners. All during the day, hke a theme song in w play, the ‘keynote, “It's wonderful,” kept up from the outer door to the plat- form, occasionally varied during moments of waxing interest wit “Thank you, father,” and “peace.” In the evening throngs passed to and fro continuously—some follow= ers, some curiosity seekers—while the refrain went on and on, One of the “teachers” expounded doe- trines of the sect while the “Fath= ex” himself, held forth in Bethel Chureh chapel to another throng equally as large as the Elks Hall gathering. Scoffing at-the idea of holding forth « heaven hereafter with milk and honey blest, and “lady” angels as a-reward. for a good life, he stated that heaven was here and now. One teacher followed another un= til one of the several white follow- ers of the preacher gave his lesti- mony. He stated that of the 254 Christian religions this one was the greatest and that Father Di- vine was the greatest man in the worlg. “I have traveled thousands of miles to see great potentates, but have met none to equal Father Divine. He ix the only man fol- lowing the Nazerene.” “Which one of the 284 Christian religions is following out the man- dates of Jeeus Christ? The Rev. M. J. Divine is setting the standard for the Christian religion.’ “{ have scen the dead raized, the lame to walk, the bite: receive their sicht, and héard the gospel preached to the poor, Is, this og following out mandates of Jeyas Christ 2” ag Many of the weary women x and nodded, some im their stock-- inged feet.” rousing to murmar drowsily, “It's wonderful, wonderful,” and “Thank you, fath-_ er,” although Father Divine self was not in the building al | ime, but at Bethel Church, TWELVE ARMSTRONG NINE DOWNS ALUMNI Techmen Unleash Attack in Last Frame that Carried Team to Victory The Armstrong High School nine started its season by nosing out players that carried Armstrong's banner through victorious baseball campaigns in previous years by a 5 to 4 score. Coach Cato W. Adams saw such stellar performers as Friday Henderson, Hank Williams, Pine Armstrong, Wilbourn Wilson, Dick Tyler, Herm Gray, Tim Paulin, and others charging his hopefuls in order to stiffen their defense and whet their attack in an effort to regain the baseball championship now held by their arch rivals, Dunbar. The repeated rainy spells and cold weather have handicapped the practice periods perceptibly, and the Tech colts showed many weaknesses that continued drills will perfect. Mason, the Armstrong prize hard-luck pitcher, started the game in typical Mason fashion. When he is good his support is awful. When his support is good, he is as wild as an unbroken Texas bronco. This was one of his good days, and he hois supporting cast did dig holes for him with miserable fielding for the first three innings, but he held gamely to his task until relieved by Ribs Bell and emerged the winner. Bell had everything but a perfect understanding with his catcher as to signals. The pitchers for the Alumni were Gray and Paulin, and it took some obliging errors to place the colts in the running—until with the count deadlocked 4 all, the "red boys," Clarke and Chisley, unlashed an attack with a double and single, respectively, that put Tech in lead to stay. The alumni's last stand was made in their last inning when two successive errors gave them a man on third with none gone. But Bell and the gang tightened and got the other three.

Davison was the guilty player. # HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION A5 G F G P E6 G F G P Tyler, f. ... 1 1 3 Plummer, f. 6 0 12 Anderson, f. 3 1 3 Moore, f. 6 0 22 Patterson, f. 0 1 3 Contee, g. 3 0 4 Mitchell, g. 2 0 4 Contee, g. 3 0 4 Stanton, g. 0 0 4 Robinson, g. 0 0 4 Totals ... 6 2 14 Totals ... 9 2 20 # LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION G3 G F G P E6 G F G P Carroll, f. 0 0 0 Davis, f. 3 0 6 Westerfeld, f. 0 0 0 Jackson, f. 0 1 1 Robinson, c. 0 0 0 Robinson, c. 0 0 0 Moss, g. 1 0 0 Penn, g. 1 0 2 Thompson, g. 1 0 2 Henley, g. 0 0 0 Totals ... 4 0 8 Totals ... 4 1 9 Freedmen's Nurses Bow to Elerts of Baltimore Ledroit Tigers Start Baseball Practice Sunday Realizing the value of an early start, Manager Burril Kenner has called practice for his Lédroit Tigers Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the Benning Road diamond.

It is being shortened and widened on the west straight away to meet the new regulations as to metric distance. The track will measure exactly 400 meters when finished. During the seventh annual Tuskegee relay carnival, which will be held at Tuskegee Institute, May 1 and 18, it will be the 400-meter, 800-meter and 1600-meter, etc., instead of the quarter mile, half mile and mile relay. Last year when preliminary Olympic trials were held at Tuskegee Institute, the hundred-yard dash was not listed on the program, the 100-meter dash being substituted because it was a regular Olympic event. The hurdle race for girls will be at 80 meters with 8 hurdles instead of at 60 yards with 4 hurdles, as was true last year.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1933 Departmental Basketball League Making Plans for Next Season By ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB As the initial season of the Departmental basketball league nears its close, tentative plans are being set for the season of 1933-34. At the close of this season's tournament, which will be featured by the play-off of the championship series between G.P.O. and either War College or Liberty Loan, April 4 to 8, election of next season's officers will be held. It is generally expected that the same roster of officers will be reushered into office, with possibly one or two exceptions. In spite of the fact that the executive board, connected with the organization, functioned somewhat loosely, with regard to their decisions relative to team personnel, the consensus of opinion seems to indicate that all were satisfied with the general conduct of affairs. Some of the tangible values that were obtained during the past season were as fol- 48 START SPRING DRILL AT STATE 48 START SPRING DRILL AT STATE New Coach Begins to Build Machine for Fall PETERSBURG, Va. — Tindolph D. Cook, former coach of the Roosevelt High School of Gary, Indiana, and recently appointed head coach of football and track at Virginia State College to succeed Harold D. Martin, reported for duty on March 21, and forthwith issued a call for spring football practice, and forty-eight men answered the call. The new coach realizes that he has a tremendous task ahead of him, and is already laying the foundation for his 1933 gridiron machine, which he will and forth to meet the keen competition which the C.I.A.A. affords in the fall. He is called upon to fill the shoes of one of the smartest coaches ever to teach the game in this conference, a man whose teams always ranked high among the leaders in former football campaigns. Moreover, he is faced with the necessity of building his team almost from the ground up, the 1982 Trojan machine having been almost completely wrecked by graduation and operation of conference rules. Ten of the regular stalwarts of Martin's 1932 Orange Crusher will not be able to play for Coach Cook. Looking over the list of graduates from the gridiron one sees the names of several of the main cogs in last fall's machinery whose names often appeared in headlines, in former years, giving due credit for accomplishment or for their prowess in this or that game. Livingstone and Smith to Resume Hostilities SALISBURG, N.C.—The Easter Monday baseball tilt between Livingstone and Johnson C. Smith University is definitively revived after a two-year lapse. The games were halted due to some misunderstanding between the two institutions. While the games have extended over a period of twenty or more years, no more brilliant contest can be recalled than of the years 1926 through 1928 when Laymon Yokeley, ace twirler of the Livingstone clan, faced Bun Hayes, the star Smith moundsman. Incidentally, both of these boys were later members of the pitching staff of the Baltimore Black Sox.

COPPIN DEFEATED BY DOWNINGTOWN COPPIN DEFEATED BY DOWNINGTOWN Storer Leads in M3A Loop As Curtain Falls on Conference Play DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—The basketball season was closed at the Downingtown Industrial School here on Saturday afternoon with a flourish in which the Coppin Normalities of Baltimore played a leading role. Four games were on tap resulting in two victories for the Varsity girls' and boys' teams, a win for the girls' Reserves, and a setback for the boys' future greats. In a sensational battle Coppin fell before the Downies, 59-40. The first attraction on the quadruplicate attraction was a game between girls and a sextet made up of scrubs from the boys' squad. The M3A champions hung number 25 in a row by emerging on the long end of a 24-20 count. Then the Normal School lads came on and seemed on their way to a lopsided defeat. They were behind, 15-5, at the quarter, and 26-17 at the half. Then they rallied brilliantly to deadlock the game at 31-all. They had shot their bolt, however, and the Loxamax pulled away to clinch their triumph, Lanky Taylor heaved in 19 tallies, and Pollard 16. The Young "Prof" Cothorn scintillated for Coppin with 12 points, followed by Groomes with 11, and West with 10. The 1933 curtain went down on two second team battles with Bryn Mawr teams. The girls rang up their twenty-sixth straight with a 21-16 verdict, while the boys lost out, 23-21. Standing of M.A.A.A. Saturday's Scores Storer, 24; Delaware, 15. Bowie, 20; Cheyney, 12. Boys W. L.

Wrestlers Prepare for the All-Sports Tourney The wrestlers of Burrville Community Center are preparing for the coming matches that are to be staged in the month of April by the games committee of the all-sports tournament. The date has not been set, but when they are announced there should be a large crowd to see these gentlemen of the grunt and groan colony get together for their annual roll call. Admission to all these contests is free. Golf Skits By HAPPY WALTERS The annual invitation tournament scheduled to begin on the memorial this coming Sunday, has been postponed to May 14, 21 and 28. The promoters thought it advisable to set the latter date to allow the course management ample time to make improvements on the links. **** The lads who comprise the golf team at Dunbar have been practicing diligently for their first encounter of the season, when they will engage the mashie wielders of Armstrong on April 14. I was rather startled the other day while playing on the Memorial, when a feminine golfer let out a whoop, half resembling the tone of a mule in distress. Players in our party thought something dreadful had occurred, but on meeting the fair one, we learned she had just held a forty-foot chip shot. We inquired how many strokes she had used, and being informed her score was fifteen, we returned to resume our disrupted game. ***** I was very glad to receive the letters of the past week in regards to this column and humbly welcome all comments and criticisms. To those whom I have met, who informed me of their steady observance of "Golf Skits" I am also grateful and truly hope they will continue to keep up with them. Here are a few golf predictions that were sent me by a lad who frequents the Memorial from time to time and doesn't care to have his identity made known at this time; Dr. George Adams will manage to get by the semi-final rounds in tournaments; Jimmy Williams will take a back seat for 1933. Prince Brooks will speed up his slow-motion backswings. Dr. Walter Simmons and Dr. Walker will test their games in tourneys. Armstrong will smother the team of Dunbar in team matches. Mrs. Lelia Eaton will successfully defend her title as women's champion of the District. There will be about fifty more youngsters out for golf this year. Philip Lewis will get a better hold of himself when matched against the "best bets." Walter Booth will rid himself of that ever-present hook, which has caused his shots to curve like the are of a circle. William Wheeler will make a strenuous effort to qualify in the first sixteens. Harry Jackson, noted pro, will finish well up in the Colored Open. It is up to us to see how well our little prophet's predictions turn out this year. METCALFE EQUALS WORLD'S RECORD METCALFE EQUALS WORLD'S RECORD INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette University's great spinner, raced to victory here Saturday night in the 60-yard dash, opening event of the Butler relays. He finished with inches to spare over Johnson, of Illinois State Normal in 6.2 seconds. Metcalfe's time tied the recognized world record for the distance but missed by one-tenth of a second his own indoor standard of 6.1 seconds, set two weeks ago. Paddle Tennis Matches at Armstrong Wednesday Competitors for the paddle tennis championships in the all-sports tournament will meet in competition Wednesday night at the Armstrong High School gymnasium at 8 p.m. The matches will be opened by Edwin B. Henderson, director of public schools. Many entries have been received by the games committee.

TRIBUNE TEAMS WIN CITY TITLE Girls' Quint Defeat White Five, Boys Outclass Wissahickon PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—One of the largest crowds ever to witness basketball games at the Wissahickon Boys' Club in Germantown turned out on last Friday night and saw Otto Briggs's Tribune Big Five and Tribune girls both win city championship games. The Tribune girls won the deciding game from the Colonial Maids (white) by the score of 25 o 17. Ora Washington's and Evelyn Mann's work excelled for the winners, while Mildred Houghton and Tillie Shaw played best for the losers. The first game was exciting, but the second proved to be more so when the Tribune boys with Zack Clayton and Jackie Bethards playing in their line-up romped off with a victory over the Wissahickon Speed Marvels with Chick Davis and William Bouist playing with them. The score ended 22 to 12. The second game of the series will be played on the same court next Friday evening, March 31. Frank Perkins to Defend Title as Ping Pong Champ The lovers of ping pong will be in action again at the Twelfth Twelfth Street Y.

Tail Enders a Tukey Lanky Smith, a new comer in the yanks of the New York Renais- sance, tossed in a field goal in the last minute of play to give the Rens a 31-30 victory over the ori- ginal New York Celtics, Wednes- lay night, at the Washington Au- ditorium before a howling crowd of 2,500 colored and white fans, Following the deciding basket Bedlam broke loose in the big hall as the Rens unleashed a “freezing” process that kept the Celtics from scoring for the rest of the contest. Congressman Oscar DePriest, who attended the game, tossed up the first ball to start hostilities. ‘The victory gives the Renaissance claim to the world championship, having previously defeated the Cel- tics three times in five attempts, and having established a record of 102 wins in 106 games this year. Until Sunday, the Rens had won 77 consecutive games, Rens Take Early Lead Immediately after Representa- tive DePriest started hostilities by tossing the ball up at center, the Rens jumped into the van. ’ Bill Yancey, who led ‘the Rens in the scoring’ column with four two- pointers and a trio of charity toss- ers, scored from a beautiful zig- zag. play and added another point with a foul shot. Fats Jenkins, and Eyre Saitch immediately fol- lowed with a trio of baskets be- tween them, giving the Rens a nine-point lead. Husta and Hickey were the only. Celties able to score from the floor during the opening half, each drop- ping in a looper from mid-court and adding a foul toss for good measute. Dutch Dehnert and the elusive Davy Banks also sank shots from the free throw line to give the Rens a 14-10 advantage at half time. ‘The second period was fast and furious, the Celties pulling to with- in two points of the Rens at the outset when Kickey tossed in a basket from side court. Joe Lap- ichick lanky center for the white ‘champs, entered the fray at this point. With Jenkins tossing in a couple of tantalizing loopers in rapid sue- cession and Smith and Yancey add- ing a basket each, the Rens drew away and held an eleven-point ad- vantage with only eight minutes left to play. The Celtics opened a yally that brought the crowd to its fect, Husta sank three long shots from past mid:court and Hickey added a foul toss. Saitch then scored for the Rens with a “string-musie” shot, and Lapehiek and Husta added to the Celtics’ total with one-pointers. Hickey broke loose and scored on a set-up and added a couple of more points when he was fouled by Jenkins. Herlihy, who played at center for the Celtics, scored his only basket to knot the count at 29-all, i Barry, a substitute, left the game injured and Dehnert took two foul attempts for him, tossed in. one, giving the green and white claded Celtics the lead for the first time in the game. And then the crowd went wild as the Rens went into a somi-freeze, unloosing every trick in their fast passing game, until Smith broke the ice with a basket to decide the battle.

Community Civics By ALBERT BROOKS EDUCATING THE NEGRO The school must overcome many serious problems when it attempts to train the Negro to take his place in community life, for he must face special handicaps that do not confront other citizens. The teacher of such students, therefore, must be specially prepared for a more difficult task. The school has made rapid progress in furnishing an ever greater number of Negroes with general education. It has much to do, however, along the lines of enlightened vocational guidance and, in the fields of industrial and commercial education. Realizing that the school—chiefly is responsible fo. preparing the citizen for his life's work, the teacher must begin the task not only especially prepared, but also with a special mental set-up. To the general theories of education must be add the special problems that confront his pupils. The teacher of the Negro child must solve these problems in order that the school may do a good job. Many teachers of Negro children attack these problems, each in his own way. The need for a uniform program of action, however, is indeed apparent. Boards of education, supervisors, superintendents, trustees, and other officials responsible for the education of the Negro, must attack these problems from above. The teacher must be directed. The formulation of definite programs of education must necessarily follow extensive surveys. Since education must meet the needs of community life in all sections of the country, it must be flexible enough to fit the varied requirements of the different localities. Programs of Education The assistance of many agencies is necessary in order that educators may work out a successful program of education. Fact-finding bodies in the federal and state governments should lend their assistance to this work. Such civic bodies as the Urban League, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, parent-teacher associations and many other organizations, should furnish valuable data for such a program. General conditions will determine the major outlines of the program. Peculiar labor conditions, race prejudice, and certain other factors, will determine special features to be added to the general program. Rural Education The biggest problems will be met in the field of rural education. Here Negro education has not kept pace with the times. The consolidated school—the most advanced form of rural education—has not been extended to colored people. The one-room school building, with a teach- Federal News Items By Laurence J. W. Hayes William Crusor George, vice consul to Liberia, a Washingtonian, was appointed charge d'affaires of the American Legation at Liberia when Charles Edward Mitchell, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary recently sailed from Africa. Although George is technically charge d'affaires, letters to him are addressed simply William C. George, Esquire, Custodian of the American Legation at Monrovia, Liberia. General Blanton Winship, aide to Calvin Coolidge, has been appointed minister plenipotentiary to Liberia and is en route there now to conduct an investigation of the Liberian situation.

I wonder how old Freddie is. Edward L. Scott, president of Local No. 71 of the National Federation of Federal Employees was recently elected one of the members of the finance committee of the Federation. This committee of three must pass on all of the expenditures. This is indeed a signal honor for one of our group. E. Claude Babcock, chairman of the national education committee of the American Federation of Government Employees, announces the purpose of the campaign of his organization is to carry directly to the public "the true facts concerning the lot of the Government employee"; they are: "To disseminate to the public at large, true information concerning Government employees and their problems, in relation to the general welfare.

R. W. Brooks, pastor of Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, is president of the alliance.

Brabson is said to have confessed the shooting and was charged with murder. Tabernacle Baptist The Rev. E. J. Bradshaw, pastor, preached a practical sermon on last Sunday morning. He used as his theme, "Ingratitude." He declared that an ungrateful person is guilty of almost every sin and that the only way to cure such a person is to continue to shower upon him deeds of kindness as Christ did during his life. The Women's Club held their annual bench rally last Sunday afternoon. They again excelled financially as well as spiritually for the co-operation on the part of the bench captains deserves hearty commendation. "Everyman" a moral and religious drama was presented by the choir on last Sunday night. Much credit is due Mrs. T. E. Cousins for the acting and also the musical background which the choir offered. Henry Houston played the part of the leading character in the drama. On April 23, they will return with another dramatic sketch, "The Slab Town Convention." Church of the Atonement The Rev. E. A.

Birch. er teaching many grades, is still prevalent in many parts of the country. Specialization seems to be distant in these sections. Without minimizing the work being done at Hampton and Tuskegee and the trade and industrial schools over the country, it can be said safely, that commercial and industrial training for the Negro is inadequate. There are not enough such courses available; and the courses that are offered do not meet the requirements of modern commerce and industry. The teachers are not masters of the subjects they teach. The finished-product of the school cannot compete as specialists. fair propaganda against Government employees. "To establish in the minds of the public the importance of maintaining proper standards in the service." It seems to the writer that these things are being fairly efficiently done by the Federal Employee Magazine which is the official publication of the National Federation of Federal Employees and the Federal News, which describes itself as a "weekly newspaper published in the interests of all employees of the U. S. Government." To these may be added the Labor Magazine, organ of the American Federation of Labor. I imagine, though, the more the merrier. Go to it, Mr. Babcock. The writer is the only columnist of color whose material appears weekly in a white publication. I write a column called "Colored Sportorials" for the Federal News, one of the aforementioned publications. The editors are even rash enough to run my picture (a cut) weekly. The subscription price is sixty cents a year payable in advance. It is published on Friday of each week and sells for two cents a copy. I would be happy to take the subscriptions of any interested persons. James A. (Billboard) Jackson, of the Department of Commerce, in charge of the small business section, no only received his appointment as a result of competitive civil service examination but also has many letters of commendation from high army officials expressing appreciation for his service in the intelligence unit of the army.

KATHLEEN M. LUCKETTE Alexandria Representative Automobile owners who had licenses for 1932 have received application blanks from the State director of motor vehicles in Richmond, Va. These blanks must be filled and presented in order to get the 1933 state automobile license tags. The blanks may be obtained by writing to the commissioner. This year the time limit to secure state automobile tags has been extended to May 1. All persons operating on the 1932 tags will be subject to arrest and fine. The extension of time was recently granted through the office of the state motor vehicle commissioner. A number of Alexandrians have fifty cents coming to them from early payment on city automobile tags. The city council some time ago cut the additional fifty-cent tax, and at the same time provided for the return of the fifty cents to all persons who had paid the tax. It was decided not to send the money out, but persons who called at the tax office would be refunded. In order that the books may be cleared they urge anyone to whom the money is due come in at once. market-trace The parent-teacher association will hold its regular monthly meeting Thursday, April 6.
