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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. (Continued on page 2)

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.
FURNITURE FIRM OPENS NEW HOME
Peerless Co. in Attractive Quarters; Employs Nine Negroes
Of particular interest to the local business world is the formal opening of the attractive new home of the Peerless Furniture Co. at 819-821-823 Seventh Street, Northwest.
Increased business of this remarkably successful company has demanded that it seek larger quarters and this it has done by estab-lishing itself in the large five-story and basement, brick building at the foregoing address. 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.
The basement of the new store is devoted to storage and on the ground floor there is a magnificent array of living room suites, odd pieces, lamps, occasional chairs, other occasional furniture and mirrors.
The second floor is set apart as the bedroom department. Here, a complete line of bedroom suites is on display as well as a vast assortment of all styles of period furniture including the modern. Also on this floor is a great diversification of studio beds, poster beds, Jenny Lind beds, and all other bedroom accessories such as springs, mattresses and pillows. The third floor is devoted to the exhibition of dining room furniture, rugs and a beautiful assortment of breakfast and dineet sets. Congoleums, kitchen cabinet utility cabinets, broom cabinet and every conceivable need of the kitchen and dining room.
On the fourth floor is the economy living room section where is shown a wide range of odd chairs, and furniture for the nursery, in the latter are included basinettes, cribs, baby carriages, play yards, and every need of the youngster. On the fifth floor are desks and secretaries of all descriptions as well as all knicknacks to complete the furnishings of the modern home.
The Peerless Furniture Co. was organized in 1923 at 827-829 Seventh Street, Northwest and has been at that address until its present expansion. This was a three-story building. 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." The company was a local pioneer of the "trade-in" plan which has proved so popular among Washingtonians during the past ten years. Benjamin Jacobs is president of the company and Leonard W. Jacobs is its secretary and treasurer.
Employa Nine Negroes
The Peerless Company employs nine colored people. "We are proud of the efficient service rendered by these employees," said Mr. Jacobs, Jr., vice-president of the company.

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.
The crowning event of the series was the rendition by the one-hundred voice chorus of Rossini's "Stabat Mater," under the direction of Newell Coleridge Fitzpatrick.
Virginia Union University
RICHMOND, Va.—The players of Howard University, Hampton Institute, Virginia State College and Morgan College will compete in the annual tournament of the Negro Intercollegiate Dramatic Association, to be held at Union on Wednesday, April 5.
Each school will present a one-act play in competition for the valuable prizes which are being offered. The first prize is a beautiful bronze plaque which was given by Samuel French, Inc., publishers, New York City. A leading newspaper is expected to offer a substantial cash prize.
Union has to play the part of host to the tournament and will, therefore, not be a competitor. The Union players are working on a full length play, "The Show Off," which is almost ready for presentation.
Professor Alexander Dean of Yale University, author of the widely known text on "Little Theatre Organization and Management" will be critic-judge of the tournament.
A large delegation of students and visitors from each of the competing schools have already made reservations to be present at the event.

Why are We Silent?
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.

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.

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 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

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?"

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.

CRIMES AND CRIMINALS
Clifford C. 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. The Christopher Publishing House, Boston. Price $1.25.
This and That
If visions have vanished,
And illusions are gone.
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.

Nautilus Club Discusses Negro Literature
The Nautilus Club held its regular monthly meeting at the residence of Miss Irene F. Harris, 3029 Eleventh Street, Northwest, on Tuesday evening, March 28. The theme of general discussion was "The Achievements of the Negro in Literature," with special reference to the life and works of Contee Cullen. A brief history of the life of Cullen was given by Miss Marguerite E. Harvey, and an interesting review of his first novel, "One Way to Heaven," was presented by Miss Josie M. Lewis.
Miss Irene Harris opened the general discussion with a sketch of "The Trend of Negro Writers and the Outlook for Progress in this Field." Miss Harris called attention to the fact that modern Negro writers are swinging away from the habit of using the novel as a means of propaganda, and are tending to prove that they merit consideration as artists in the field with no special reference to color and race.
The following members were present: Mrs. Buteatrice B. Butcher, Miss Ethel Patterson, Miss Irene F. Harris, Miss Josie M. Lewis, Miss Marguerite E. Harvey: and Messrs. Harry J. 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.
A discussion of "The Negro in Music" will be introduced at the next meeting.

-. 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.

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.

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. Gilbert Watson, vice-president, presided in the absence of Elsie Fletcher, president.
Miss Daisy Lampkin, of the senior N.A.A.C.P., who arrived in the city several weeks ago from New York to begin work on the annual membership drive, will render service to the juniors. She will assist those in charge of the membership drive at the local high schools by addressing assemblies.
Persons in charge of the work at the high schools are Miss Alda Brock at Armstrong, Maurice Gates at Dunbar, and Misses Frances Hamilton and Mary Flood at Cardozo.
The Junior N.A.A.C.P. began the year by reorganizing its staff. Miss Fletcher, Miss Louise Pinkett and Mrs. Cydier Pinkett were re-elected president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. Gilbert Watson was elected vice-president. Douglass Wilson was appointed chairman of the press committee, Saturday, with Alda Brock and Sheffield Gill as assistants. The lookout committee is headed by Walter Macklin with Frances Hampton, Timothy Ward and Blondell Tobias as members.
Armstrong Has Largest Group
The following-members of the Junior N.A.A.C.P. were members of the February, 1933, graduating class at Armstrong High, giving the school the largest representation of any high school in the organization: Gilbert Watson, Douglas Wilson, Alda Brock, Mary Flood, Robert Smith, Walter Macklin, Frances Hampton, Blondell Tobias, and Rachel Armstead.
"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. This play was unusually effective and has been widely praised. The case included Mrs. Louise C. Hill, Mrs. Rose Clifford, Miss Audrey Mosely, Mrs. Viola H. Smith, Miss Violeta Beldon, Miss Helen L, Sparks, Miss Lillian Washington, Frederick Phillips, Samuel Popel, Stewart Ege, Frank C. Montero, James W. Butcher, Jr. The proceeds from this performance will be used to furnish permanent recreational facilities for boys and will be spent under the direction of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A.
Lieut. Col. Henry O. Atwood, chairman of the boys' work committee of the Y.M.C.A., expressed his appreciation of this offer made by the club. He stated that the indoor recreational facilities available for boys of the colored race in this city are seriously lacking. The officers of the College Alumnae Club are Mrs. Louise Pack, president; Mrs. Esther B. King, vice-president; Mrs. Bertha M. Clark, recording secretary; Mrs. Fannie R. Dorsey, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Ethel H. Grubb, treasurer; Miss Edna West, chairman of the committee on dramatics. Miss Helen Sparks, publicity secretary, Miss Carolina Peters, historian. Prof. Sterling A. Brown is director of the play.
"The Youngest" Produced for Dunbar Center
"The Youngest," a play given by the Howard University Players and written by Phillip Barry, was produced Saturday night at the Dunbar Community Center. The play involved a family who did things for the uplift of the community and during the course of the evening many amusing situations kept the audience in a continuous chuckle. 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.

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. This program takes the form of a variety entertainment with different students, teachers and alumni giving a demonstration of their favorite hobbies.. Stunts, skits, recitations, and musical selections are included in this annual "talent night" which always attracts widespread attention and is well attended by the public as well as by students.
On April 18, the society will present the glee club of George Washington University in a recital and on May 1, a May Day program will be presented by the directors of the playground department. Since no cost is involved in these productions, no admission fee is coarged and all meetings are open to the public.

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.
The Green Mountain Lodge of Odd Fellows is in the midst of a membership drive and will hold its quarterly degree meeting, Sunday, at the Pythian Temple, Twelfth and U Streets, Northwest, James F. Gray is secretary.

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.

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.
The conference has set aside next Monday as Stoddard Baptist Home Day. This home has been maintained by the Baptists as a home for the aged for the last forty years.

measure of Church
Thousands from all walks of life braved the chilly March winds Sunday to pay final tribute to the Rev. William Lee Washington whose funeral was held from the Zion Baptist Church, F Street between Third and Four-and-a-half, Streets, Southwest. Throngs packed the block in which the church is located long before the funeral procession arrived. The church was filled to capacity several hours before the service. Several hundred persons were permitted to hear the service in the basement of the church where loud speakers had been installed. During the service thousands stood outside in the street where it required practically the entire force of No. 5 Precinct Police Station to keep an open passage in the street.
Third Pastor
The Rev. Walter H. Brooks, veteran pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, conducted the service. The Rev. Washington was the third pastor of Zion whose funeral has been preached by Dr. Brooks. He officiated at the last rites of the Rev. William Gibbons, founder of the church, forty-five years ago. He also preached the funeral of the Rev. William J. Howard seven years ago.
The service was opened by prayer by the Rev. W. D. Jarvis, pastor of New Beth Baptist Church. Music was furnished by the church choir, the Harmonious Quintet, the Sunday School choir and a solo by Levington Smith.
Dean Pratt Speaks
Dean D. Butler Pratt, of the Howard University School of Religion, told of the work the Rev. Washington had accomplished while a teacher at Howard. Church resolution was read by William G. Opey, clerk of the church. Scripture was read by the Rev. Samuel Miller and the benediction by the Rev. R. L. Herbert.
The Rev. Washington died Thursday morning after an illness lasting nine days. He was born in Lexington, Va., and was closely identified with social work in Southwest Washington where he spent the greater part of his life helping to relieve conditions among the poor and needy.
He was a graduate of Storer College, Union University and Oberlin University.

The regular monthly meeting of the College Alumnae Club was held Saturday at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A.

She stated that the Housewives' League had paved the way for the colored stores in many cities in the North. The association plans to organize a Housewives' League in Washington, and later, to open three stores.
Mrs. Ethel Grubbs and Miss Helen Sparks led the discussion which followed Miss Green's talk and some efforts will be made by the club to help Miss Green organize the league. The hostesses were Miss Eliza Shippen and Miss Esther P. Shaw.

‘The Rev. J. E. Tucker, presiding
élder of the Baltimore and Wash-
ington district of the A.M.E. Zion
Church, delivered the sermon at the
morning service at the Galbraith
A.M.E. Zion Church, Sunday, The
Rey. W. D. Speight is pastor.
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. By fax the great-
er number take the road to destruc-
tion, because it is broad and easy
to enter, There are no restrictions
along this way. The mode and
manner of travel is left to the voli:
tion of exch individual, He may
go fast or slow, but the final des-
tination is the same—destruction.
‘This way is alluring by every de-
vice that Satan ean contrive. It
ig the way of the ‘gambler, the
thief, the robber, the murderer,
the hypocrite, the conceited man,
the self-righteous man who believes
he is on the right way.
Lawyers Day
At the conclusion of the sermon,
A. W. Gray, president of the Col:
ored Bar Association, introduced
Thorman L. Dodson, who made a
stvong appeal in behalf of the legal
fraternity, for the support of our
roup,
He stressed the fact that the Ne-
gro Iawyer is making steady prog-
ress, oye some short-comings,
‘and racial handicaps. He brings to
the Bat educational equipment, in-
tellectual aceumen, combattive gen-
ins, integrity of purpose and high
resolve, imdominitable courage
Sempered with patience and for-
pearance, an unwaivering faith thar
believes in ultimate justice.
Mr. Dodson told a short story
wherein a wealthy colored man had
wriven all of his legal business to a
white lawyer. When asked why by
hit own frou, he replidd that he
ot Mp Bing from white people
and by his son jeraduated from
a law school whom he took to his
white lawyer, and said, “I” have
been patronixing you all_my life.
My son is now graduated from law,
and I want you to take him and
train him for the bar.” Where-
upon the white lawyer proceeded
to tell the colored man regretfully
that the presence of his son in his
office would cause him to lose. a
Jarge percentage of his white
clients, Being thus refused, the col-
ored man, like a whipped cur with
his tail between his legs, went to a
colored lawyer and made the same
request minus the patronage as an
inducement. The colored lawyer
had compassion on him, took in his
son and trained him, Next he told
how a wealthy colored woman had
ape 0 the now- chief justice,
Sharles E: Hughes, to engage him
in a divorce proceeding, Mr, Hugh-
@s advised her that there were a
“number of competent colored law-
"yers she could secure who could
render her just as good service, if
not better than he.
‘Mr, Dodson concluded with this
thought, that while everything else
might be equal so far as fitness is
concerned, as between the white
and colored lawyer the colored
Tawyer has a sympathy in his heart
“for his colored client, that the white
lawyer can never have, The great

Washington, pastor of the Zion
Baptist Church, and expressed
their sympathy by a floral tribute
and the following original poem:

‘The soul of all that's true,
Kind and genial in manner
Broad and tolerant of mind
“True to the Christian Banner
He Wore for all ‘mankind.
Brave as the Negro-soldier

He gave his life. to his people
In sexier that knew no sham.
“The sarth may cover

But naught can hide his-spirit
Nor blot from us. his soul.

TO THE PEOPLE OF WASHINGTON
‘There never was a time when we needed to close ranks more

denied Colored Americans. pk

yancement of Colored People has filled and is filling an indispensable
place in the development of our group ard the securing and presery:
Tne the things that are due us, No other organization now extant
can take of fill its place.
It is just radical enough and conservative enough to press the
Negro’s demands along twixt the Scylla of patriotism and the
Charybdis. of Communism.
We need for Washington an N.A.A.C.P. membership of twenty-
five thousand persons and the campaign is on. .The loyal and race

FORUM PETITIONS
SIGNED AFTER HU.
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. Wo-
mén are clothed in fur garmenis,
Parisian he:?wear with dauberies
on their'faces., The woman whose
good clean blood flows through a
body ‘simply clad can out-dress the
pampered woman for 49 cents. if
she is vigorously healthy. The
other woman under “her | skins,
daubs and’ smells, is so. full of
ennui and restlessness because she
has everything that she ever
thought that she wanted,
‘Too many people use color as-an
alibi to prevent them ‘from taking
a-man's part in'Jife,
“Begin to'‘laok at the Negro
status from @ new angle,” he said.
“Jp, is a wonderful cltance to ce
how much of aman. he cart be
while he lives, The only way the
Negro race can be distinguished is
to transform itself 25 rapidly as
possible into extraordinary human
beings. |”
“People whd are disadvantazed
so easily assume that people, who
have advantages know what they
are doing’and are easily adapted
and are enjoying life. 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

FAMILY TO COURT
Baby Stevenson, beribboned in

from its mother’s arms, Tuesday
morning, in. the Northwestern po-
lice station while its parents and
grandparents volubly discussed a
scrap over-an orange tidbit which
had been given it the evening be-
fore: -
According to the father, Joseph
Stevenson, he was washing the
baby’s clothes Zor the mother, Mary
Stevenson, who is soon to become
a mother a second time, at their
home, 513 Reigger Court, when the
step-father-in-law, Charles Barnes,
Rave the infant a piece of orange
which caused it to choke. Steven-
son said that Barnes had scratched
the baby and the fight was on,
verbally, fistically, also slashingly,
when Barnes returned Stevenson's
fists and a couple of washboard
blows with a few stabs from the
knife with which he had peeled the
orange.
According to the grand-parents,
Stevenson was under the influence
of liquor, is usually quarrelsome,
particulatly over a male visitor to
the home.
‘The judge decided, however, that
fists in an emergency or a police
officer are sufficient protection for
the average citizen, so he fined
Barnes $10 and cos0ts,
NUMBER 939 HITS ALMOST
WITH A BRICK
The stock number, 939, hit Mon-

side the head of Irving Pierce, 47,
640 Greenwillow Street, when he
refused to pay off Ernest Stanley,
15, 937 Shields Place. according to
the story told by Stanley at the
Northwestern police station, Tues-
day morning.
According to the boy, he had been
advised by Pierce to invest his
spending change in numbers rath-
er than candy. Following this ad-
vice he played fifteen cents Mon-
day on racing and stock returns,
When he attempted to collect his
winnings from the 939 stock hit,
Pierce, he alleges, told him that he
had played races only, and refused
to pay off. -
To'add insult to injury he stated
that Pierce drew a knife, where-
upon he and his companion, Leo-
nard Washington, both school boys,
armed themselves with bricks,
G. L. Pendleton, attorney, drew
fire from the Stanley boy when he
questioned him and called him
“Bright eyes,” particularly when
he later added, “But he has a black
heart.” Irving was held for the
action of the grand jury. _

DR. 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.
Thursday evening, L., Ellsworth
Toomey presented a musical con-
cert with a semi-classic quintet in
a program. The Rev. W. W. Wal-
ker is pastor.

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.’

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.

Tuskegee Track Meets New Metric System
TUSKEGEE, Ala.—Tuskegee Institute's famous quarter mile cinder path is no more. 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.

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-

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.

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.

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.

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.

Plans for a tournament is well underway and will include some of the leaders of the city. Frank Perkins, city singles champion, is reaching top form and will be on hand to defend his title. The champ is the recipient of many challenges—one from the former Y title holder, Bob Harris will be met.

Bedlam broke loose in the big hall

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,

Immediately after Representa-

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

government inspected airport,
housing some twenty planes in its
hangers, has opened air lanes of
opportunity to all who are air-
minded, regardless of race or color.

stand on enrollment of all students.
In a statement for publication Mr.
Ransom said:
“With the doors of economic op-
portunity none too favorable to the
Negro, now or in the immediate fu-
ture, Capitol Airport officials are
deserving of unlimited praise in
establishing the precedent of open-
ing its classes in aviation to all the
people. To my knowledge it is the
only school of its type in the coun
try.”
Mr. Ransom voices the exact sen-
timent of a group of hine local
business and professional men con-
ducted through a tour of inspection
recently at the airport. The tour
rm slimazed by short trips in the
latest type airplanes. The group

the following sentence, “The secret

In talking of the publishing of

must have advertisements to keep
the wheels rolling. We are con-
stantly trying to sell the Negro

When asked by one of the pupils
why the colored papers seemed to
cater to sensational news, Mr. Lu-
Valle replied that since the papers
are weeklies, the news must be
sensational to give the people what
they want, for a paper must have
circulation to exist. He declared,
“Tam against and do not like

not always run a newspaper by

PEEPING THROUGH THE

It’s surprising to hear the nim-
erous stories about Mr. and Mrs.
so and so that is constantly
brought to the willing listeners’
ears..,in these days of dirt- spil
ling columnists and what-nots, it
requires tremendous courage | to
follow the line of least resistance.
How we all would love to be
sepia Winchells, Sobols, Hellingers,
et a’, inspired by the sudden
fame, ready cash, the wine, women
and song...or rather, 1” should
have said the thoughts of these
material assets inspire us to. spill
dirt, filth and mud about our weak
brothers and sisters.
‘Then too the cinemas have done
no little to exaggerate the impor-
tance of the town_ gossip, just as
they exalted the power and gory
of the gangster, So in these en-
lightened times mothers are no
longer bringing their offspring up
imbued with thoughts that they
may some day become “the” Pres.
ident of the good old U.S.A., in-
stead they tell them to study to
become columnists .. they make
plenty of money, too, they say, and
they don’t. shoot at him... .they
Just beat him up from time to
time.
‘The popular columist gets his
“dope” trom female gatherings...
as soon as he learns that the Wo-
men’s Sewing Circle meets on a
designated night, Senor Gossip lets
nothing interfere with his being in
attendance on said night, .and
how the ladies love to spill it, “Oh,
my dear did you hear about ‘Sadie
Brown—and who'd a-thought it”—
and so on and on ad infinitum.
In. time to come the reputab'e
columnist will nevd to hive one ot
two “stalwarts” to act as his per-
sonal bodyguards ... because he
will always “be on the spot,”
REFLECTIONS
White sharing in the genetal en-
thusiasm for the New Deal and its
foreeful leader one cannot help
but sigh over the fact that our
group needs a leader “cu* out from
the same pattern.” 1. still con-
tend that the now exiled Gurvey
approached my personu! estima-
tion of the ideal leader,
His West Indian ancestry was
his greatest buga boo... .those who
opposed him eased hima “monkey”
who was trying to be too much...
they mimicked his taste for the
spectacular, and his love for pomp
and grandeur.
Yet, ixonical as it may seq, the
two most powerful figtres in all
Europe “got in” fo this self-same
lavish display. The intellixent per-
son realizes that such plans and
procedures play upon the emotion
of the messes, and is often the
means and instiument by: which
many are converted to the ranks.
Hitler and Mussolini feced no such
great dissension in their ranks as
did Garvey, for today they are
“monarchs of all they survey."

TWO PORTABLES BEING ERECTED AT ARMSTRONG
The Enrollment is 1,579; Capacity, 1,300; New High Needed
Armstrong High School is running over with pupils with an enrollment of 1579 although 1,300 is the capacity. Two portables are under construction to relieve the congestion in the main buildings. This will make four portables in use at Armstrong.

G. David Houston, principal, stated that there is need for another senior high school in Washington to relieve the congestion.
An industrial exhibit was held Thursday night and hundreds of parents and friends viewed the various displays.

19 CLASSES ON PART TIME AND 12 PORTABLES
Forty-five Rooms Added to Colored Grade Schools, 24 to Junior High
The evils of part-time or stag-gard classes and the use of portables in the public schools here are gradually being eliminated by the construction of new school buildings and additions to existing buildings. There are now nineteen classes on part-time and twelve portables in the colored elementary schools here.
There are four portables at the Garrison school on 12th street, northwest, two at the Bates Road school, four at the Cleveland school at 8th and T streets, northwest; and two at the Gldings school at 3rd and G streets, southwest.
There are two part-time classes at the Cook and Slater schools on P street, northwest, two at the Birney school on Nichols avenue, southeast; six part-time classes at the Giddings school—these classes and the portables will be eliminated on April 17 when the new fifteen room addition to Giddings will be opened to classes. There are five part-time classes at the Logan and two at the Lovejoy school which will be eliminated when proposed construction of the addition to Logan is completed.
Eight Portables to Go
The four portables at Garrison and the four at Cleveland will be eliminated when the New Phelps Trade School is completed next January. The pupils in the portables will be transferred to the present Phelps building on Vermont avenue, northwest, as soon as the building is remodeled for grade work.
Fory-five new rooms added to the colored graded schools during this school year since last September. They are as follows: ten rooms in an addition to the Harrison school at 13th and V streets, northwest; eight at Twining, two at the Crummlke school, ten rooms for the Grimke school, in the new Cardozo location at 9th and Rhode Island avenue, northwest, and the 15-room addition to the Giddings school to be occupied on April 17.
Twenty-four rooms were added to the colored junior high school division when the old M street high school building was vacated by the Cardozo Business High. The Terrelr Junior High opened up there.
Two rooms were added to the senior high schools when Cardozo Business High occupied the old white business high at 9th and Rhode Island avenue, northwest. This school occupies twenty-six rooms in this building.
Twenty-four Rooms Due
New buildings contracted for will add 34 more rooms to the colored schools during the next school year beginning in September. The Phelps Trade School will have twenty-six rooms and shops and the Logan addition calls for eight rooms.
In addition to these there is the health sanatorium under construction out in Maryland. The first school unit will accommodate 150 pupils. On the one-third basis, the colored schools will be allocated 50 of these beds for the tubercular children.

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-

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.

At the meeting Tuesday of the interdenominational Ministeral Alliance, it was decided to hold Lenten services at the Lincoln Theatre from Monday April 10 to Friday 14, from 11 45 a.m. to 12:20 p.m.

Raymond Brabson, 33, of 346 K Street, Southwest, surrendered at Fourth Precinct early today shortly after Charles Rawlings, 26, 1238 Union Street, Southwest, was shot and killed on the street near his home. 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.

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.

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.

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.
