"HAPPY AM I" DEDICATED TO PRES. ROOSEVELT DR. STRATTON KILLED IN ACCIDENT The Most News Cleanest News Latest News DR. S FAMOUS PREACHER HOLDS MEMORIAL DAY DEVOTIONS 8,000 Brave Rain to Hear Elder Michaux Conduct Service in Ball Park Despite a pouring down rain a crowd of 8,000 persons gathered in the National Baseball Park. Tuesday night, under the leadership of Elder Lightfoot Michaux, pastor of the Church of God and famous radio evangelist, and dedicated the theme song of the church, "Happy Am I," to President Roosevelt and following the dedication a short memorial service was held. The rain and rather cool night caused an hour and 30 minutes postponement of the meeting, which was scheduled to start at 8 p.m. Thousands had entered the park as early as 7 o'clock and waited patiently until the service began. The audience was about equally divided between the races. Song Sent to President At a given signal during the service, a messenger boy rode his bicycle into the park, up to the platform, which was situated over the home plate, and received the autographed song and the dedicatory message for the President. The choir of 154 voices sang "Happy Am I" as the messenger rode off the field. The choir and Elder Michaux left the church, which is located divetly across the street from the stadium, at 9:30. They were dressed in white robes and marched single file to the park under police escort. Seats were arranged on a platform at the home plate for the choir and guests. Loud speakers carried the singing and the voices of the speakers to all corners of the big park. Bugler Blows Taps A feature of the program was the blowing of taps by William E. Staples, white, former bugler on the U. S. S. Pittsburgh. Staples was in uniform and had blown taps earlier in the day at Arlington Cemetery. Another feature was the forming of the letters WJSY by the choir members in honor of the station which broadcasts the radio services of the church each day. The letters were formed by the choir by red caps which members wore under their white ones. At the call of a letter a group of choir members would pull off their white caps and leave exposed the red ones, which formed the letter called. Prayer was offered by Elder Larson, white, and a solo, "When We Say Good Night Here We Say Good Morning There," was sung by Mrs. Michaux, wife of the elder. Song Fits Roosevelt In his address Elder Michaux explained the institution of Memorial Day and in dedicating his theme song to the President he stated that the song witted the Chief Executive as he wore a smile despite the trying times and the many problems he has been facing since he has assumed office. The "Street Singers," three small boys who are brothers, and their uncle, rendered several selections. Music was furnished by an orchestra from Newport News, Va. After the service Elder Michaux stated that he plans to use the ball park regularly if arrangements can be made to hold services there on on Sunday.

Brother Takes Stand Sensational testimony, which was expected to be developed when Alger Anderson. 757 Morton Street, Northwest, brother of the deceased, announced as the jury was deciding the case, that he wished to testify, failed to materialize. Perry W. Howard, representing the family, explained that as the young man was not on the scene at the time of the accident, he had not proposed to offer him as a witness. Alger, a taxi driver, told of taking Cabel, who did not know at the time that he was a brother of the injured youth, in his taxi from the accident to the Catholic University (continued on page two) (Continued on page two) PHILADELPHIA. — The camera eye of Detective Sergeant Paul Jones, of Washington, was respon- sible for two men being arrested here last week. Both men are now in washington, having been returned there in Jones's custody. One of them he sought, the other just happened to get within his range of vision. Jones had come here on a "tip" that James Hassler a "con" man PETER HARRIS MRS. J. F. WILSON ASKS OUSTING OF N.B. RECEIVERS Seeks Disolving of Company and Distributing Assets to Policyholders Mrs. Leah B. Wilson, wife of J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, through her attorney, Henry Lincoln Johnson, asked Justice James M. Proctor for leave to file an intervening petition dismissing the present receivers of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company and to appoint another receiver or receivers and that a final decree be entered dissolving the company, the proceeds to be distributed among those entitled to them according, to their respective rights and interests. Justice Proctor set Friday as the day for argument on the motion to file the petition. Has $1,000 Policy In her petition Mrs. Wilson sets forth that she is a policyholder of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company and has a policy with a face value of $1,000. She points out that the present receivers, Gilbert A. Clark and Frank B. Bryan, Jr., entered into an agreement with individual policyholders under a so-called modification plan whereby all policyholders were required to continue the payment of the same premiums, but were to receive in return life insurance in such reduced amount as the premium being paid at the date of modification would purchase at the attained age of the insured. She further avers that the receivers refused to accept premiums on any policy such as she possessed unless it was accompanied by application for modification. She states that she received several communications from the receivers, to that effect and that on October 23, 1932, she was informed that no further premiums would be accepted on account of her unmodified policy of insurance. In order to preserve her rights and interests she agreed to the modification of her policy. The modified face of her policy was $850, and the date of maturity was fixed as of December 23, 1946, although her original policy of insurance would have matured on June 23, 1932. Mrs. Wilson in her petition states that on April 27, 1933, the present receivers filed their report setting forth that the total amount in cash in their custody and control was $16,590.31 in the follow- (Continued on page 2) which the maid of President Roosevelt's physician had been mulcted of $1,030. In company with Detective Willard Butler, of the 5th Division, Jones searched an apartment in Sixteenth Street near Christian, hunting for Hassler. He was not there, but Jones recognized one of the occupants as "Red" Jones, who was wanted in Washington for a $40 larceny. He was arrested. Later in the day Jones and Butler were driving through Lombard Street when they saw Hassler in front of a theatre. The detectives jumped from the car and arrested him. Both men had hearings before Magistrate Henry, waived extradition and were turned over to Sergeant Jones, who took them to Washington.

Wilson Becton, noted evangelist, died Thursday at the Graduate Hospital here of wounds received in an alleged gangland death ride on May 21. The evangelist's business manager, Mac C. Davies, was arrested Saturday night on a warrant charging fraudulent conversion and misappropriation of funds. Davies was arraigned Sunday morning and held under $2,000 bail for further hearing before Magistrate Edward W. Henry. Slain by Whites While police were still busy tracking down clues that might lead to the arrest of person or persons responsible for Becton's murder, the following points loomed as all important in the case: 1. The Rev. Alfred A. Campbell and Simon Roulhac were with Becton in the car when it drew up to the Tindley Tea Room, 1506 Christian Street, on Sunday night, May 21. They made no outcry when the two white gunmen accosted them. 2. The Rev. Mr. Campbell told police that while he was still in the car, one of the gunmen put his gun to Becton's head and shot him. Yet neither Campbell nor Roulhac made an outcry when the car sped away with the mortally wounded Becton. Refused to Talk 3. Becton was still conscious, able to talk and in full possession of all his mental faculties when Detective Charles Belgrove, ace (Continued on page 2) Cops Probe Shooting of Three at Race Track The mysterious wounding of three men with charges from a shotgun at the Bowie race track Saturday night, are being investigated by Maryland police and officers of the Second Precinct.

Law Group of Howard Plans to Force Apology from Trustee Head Dr. Abram Flexner, chairman of the Howard University board of trustees, had not replied to a letter written to him last week by the university law alumni in which the association demanded an apology for the "ungentlemanly and discourteous" letter which the trustee head wrote to a group of women students recently. The alleged discourteous letter was written to the women after they had protested against the dismissal of Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee, who has been notified that her services as physician to women will be terminated at the end of this school year. The students asked that she be retained and the present male physician be placed on part time so as to permit the retention of Dr. Ferebee. Dr. Flexner, in his letter, stated that if the students put up the money for Dr. Ferebele's salary the trustees would agree to her remaining at the university. He also wrote that those who did not like it could quit the university, students or teachers. The Tribune learned this week that the law alumni is planning to take certain steps in order to force an apology from Dr. Flexner for the so-called "discourteous" letter. Just what action is planned was not divulged by officers of the alumni.

Taxicab Damage Suit Reversed by District Court of Appeals Court Rules that Try-Me Company is Liable in Action in Which Municipal Court Gave Directed Verdict Against Plaintiff Former Executive Answer Petition, Claims $10,000 as Pay for Services DAN GARY'S RENT REPORTS NOT FULL Insurance Company May Lose Masonic Temple as an Asset Hearing on the answers of John T. Risher to two petitions filed by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company receivers, Gilbert A. Clark and Frank B. Bryan, Jr., to show cause why he should not be given over $10,000 mortgage loan notes and why he should not make a complete and detailed account of all rents collected from the Masonic Temple tenants scheduled for hearing, Thursday morning, was postponed at the request of the receivers until Friday, June 2. It has been postponed previously at the request of the receivers. Mr. Risher admits holding the notes and refusing to give them up, in his answer to one petition, but declares they were given him for services in place of cash. He represents the implication that he came into possession of them because he happened to be the president of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. Gary Made Agent Answering the petition regarding the collections of rents, Mr. Risher set out that when he took over the presidency of the insurance company, June 17, 1931, the executive committee of the group later directed the appointment of Daniel M. Gary as rental agent, effective July 1, 1931. Between June 17, 1931, and September 10, 1931, Mr. Risher further contends that he was compelled to give undivided attention to duties as president of the insurance company in making efforts to avoid litigation and receiverships. His contract as rental agent of the Masonic Temple terminated on June 30, 1931. Received No Money Mr. Gary collected the rents from July 1, 1931, to December 31, 1931, the answer states. After Daniel C. Roper had qualified as receiver, he directed Mr. Risher to again assume the responsibility of collecting rents from the temple (Continued on Page 3) Taxicab Damage by District Court Rules that Try-Me C in Which Municipal Verdict Aga A decision of far-reaching importance was handed down by Associate Justice Hitz in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals this week, which reversed a decision of Judge Robert N. Mattingly in the municipal court in which the Try Me Cab Company was given a directed verdict in a damage suit. Mrs. Elizabeth Rhone, first block of L Street, sued the company for $1,000 following an accident in which she alleged she was injured. The cab company, which was represented by Attorney George E. C. Hayes, claimed that it did not own the cab, and one Walter Jackson, admitted ownership of the cab in which Mrs. Rhone was injured, but Jackson claimed that he had no liability at the time of the accident because of a contractual arrangement with Joe Williams, driver.

DOES NOT OWN CABS Attorney Hayes also claimed that Williams was an independent contractor with the passenger and in sole control of the cab at the time of the alleged accident. It was also argued that the company is not engaged in carrying passengers for hire or that it received Mrs. Rhone as passenger or exercised control of the cab when she was allegedly injured. Mr. Hayes also told the court that the company is merely a non-profit sharing corporation for the purpose of furnishing its members with telephone service, and it does not own any cabs. In the first hearing Jackson testified that he owned the cab and that he had licensed and registered Continued on Page 3 --- Two Seriously Hurt In Automobile Smash Two men were seriously injured Wednesday morning when the automobile in which they were riding collided with a truck at Fifth and M Streets, North est, said by police to have been driven by Daniel D. Welch, white of Baltimore. DR. JOHNSON SPEAKS Price 7 cents Copy Local Physician Dies of Injuries Received in Automobile Accident Dr. Harold C. Stratton, well known Washington physician, of 721 Earlmont Street, Northwest was fatally injured, his wife, Mrs Edith Brown Stratton, was seriously injured, and their two small children, received minor cuts and bruises when the automobile in which they were riding collided with a culvert one and one-half miles from Charlestown, W.Va., on Sunday afternoon. Dr. Stratton, who was driving at the time of the accident, was taken to the Charlestown Hospital, where he died Monday morning. Death was caused by a crushed chest and fractured skull, according to attending physicians. Were Guests of Pastor Mrs. Stratton received cuts about the head, face and legs and a possible fractured ankle. An X-ray to determine the extent of her injuries will be taken this week. The two children, Harold, Jr., and Mary L., were not seriously injured. Albert I. Cassell, Howard University architect, and close friend of the Stratton family, motored to the West Virginia city Monday and brought back Mrs. Stratton and the two children. Dr. Stratton and his family were the guests Sunday of the Rev. C. Dawson, pastor of a church at Berryville, W.Va. They had attended the service and were returning to Dr. Dawson's home for dinner when the accident occurred. The Rev. Dawson had left the church some ten minutes before the Strattons in order to reach home early and have dinner prepared for his guests. Thrown into Water Mrs. Stratton told friends on reaching Washington that she did not know the cause of the accident, but the road was slippery and suddenly the machine which was traveling at a moderate rate of speed suddenly swerded as they were approaching a creek. She said Dr. Stratton made an effort to bring the car back into the road, but was unable to do so. The machine struck the culvert and threw all of the occupants out. Mrs. Stratton and the children were tossed on the bank from the impact, while Dr. Stratton was thrown into the water, and was pinned down by the car. Despite her injuries, Mrs. Stratton had presence of mind to see that her husband was missing and saw only his feet protruding from the water. She partly released him and with the help of some passing tourists she was able to get him clear of the water. Directed Care of Family Dr. Stratton never lost consciousness until a few minutes before his death. Despite his own injuries he directed that his wife and children be cared for first. At the hospital he supervised the bandaging of Mrs. Stratton and their children and only realized that he was injured when he began to spit blood. Even while the local physicians were attending to him Dr. Stratton directed them. Early Monday he was visited by Dr. Simeon Carson, of Washington. The two conversed about the accident and Dr. Stratton told his visitor that the accident was a mystery as he was unable to explain why the car failed to respond to (Continued on page 2) Ousted Fraternal Order Still Without Meeting Place INVEST The Safest and Most Secure Investment in the United States is Real Estate—Especially So in Washington.

LAY MASONS BEGIN MOVEMENT FOR A PERMANENT HOME Now Using Scottish Rite Hall; Women Will Return to Temple In a statement to The Tribute, Thursday, Edmund M. Chaplin, chairman of the St. John's Day committee of the Masonic grand lodge, and acting secretary of the United Temple Drive committee, stated that a call has been issued to lay members of the Masons to meet at Ashbury A.M.E. Church, Eleventh and K Streets, Northwest, on Wednesday night, June 7, to discuss plans for a permanent home for the order. He said that the order is meeting temporarily at the Scottish Rite Hall, while the women's auxiliary, the Eastern Star, has made arrangements to resume meetings in the Eastern Star rooms in the Temple. Mr. Chaplin stated that the called meeting is not being opposed by the grand lodge officers, but this is a move to start from the bottom so that all members may know what is going on in the order. He said he was astonished when he with other members found themselves locked out of the Temple on U Street. George Ambler, grand master of the Masons of the District, stated that the trustees of the grand lodge would meet Wednesday night, June 7. at the Scottish Rite Temple on Eleventh Street, and will then decide upon a permanent meeting place.

THE CAIRO HOTEL DISCRIMINATION OCCURRENCE Miss Fox Describes Incidents Connected with Refusal to Accomodate Colored Delegate A detailed account of the incidents connection with the refusal the Cairo Hotel at 1615 Q Street to accommodate Miss Floria Pinkney, of New York, a colored delegate to the Continental Congress of farmers and unemployed, held here last month is told in a release from Norman Thomas, white, candidate for the Presidency on the Socialist ticket last fall. He quotes from a statement by Miss Mary Fox (white) with Miss Anna Caples (white) accompanied Miss Pinkney, to the hotel. She says: "On Saturday night May 7, I arrived in Washington with a delegation from New York to the Continental Congress about 12:40 standard time. At headquaters I was given reservations for myself and two other delegates, Anna Caples and Floria Pinkney at the Cairo Hotel. Floria Pinkney who is a Negro and I were given reservations for Room 307 which we expected to share. "We got to the Cairo Hotel shortly after 1 o'clock with many other delegates who also had reservations which had been given them by the arrangements committee. The other delegates who had arrived before us signed the register and were given rooms. Porter is Catspaw "While we were waiting, the clerks behind the desks looked repetedly in our direction whispered together, spoke to a Negro bellboy, who came from behind the desk and approached Floria Pinkney. He said, 'You cannot stay at this hotel.' I said, 'she can stay at the hotel, sh. has a reservation.' "He left us. We waited about 10 or 15 minutes more standing in line with other delegates. As we came nearer to the register which was to be signed, the clerks became more and more uneasy. Finally, when we were also up to the register and were all standing directly in line of the clerks approached Floria Pinkney who was behind me and said 'What are you doing here?' She said, 'I have a reservation for a room.' "The clerk said, 'You can't stay here. This is a white hotel.' I said, 'She can stay here, she has a reservation.' The clerk said, 'The room is taken.' I said, 'the room is taken by me, the room is my room,' and showed him my reservation slip for Room 307. "The clerk became very belligerent and said to Miss Pinkney, 'If you stay here it will cost you exactly $50 for the night.' I said, 'She can stay here and it won't cost her $50 for the night, she will pay the regular charge for the room.' The clerk said, 'She can't stay here,' and then turned to me and said, 'very well, she can stay here if you will sleep with her in a double bed in the basement.' I replied, 'I do not mind sleeping in a double bed with her but she doesn't have to sleep in the basement. She can sleep in the room which was reserved for her. The hotel cannot discriminate against Negroes.' Clerk is Riled "At this the clerk became very angry, slammed down his hand upon the register, picked up all the sheets which people had been signing, and addressed the group of 20 or 30 delegates who were still waiting to be assigned rooms, shouting, 'All the rooms are taken, there is no place for anyone in this hotel. The books are closed for the night.'" Mr. Thomas adds: "Among other things which the clerk said which was directed at Floria Pinkney was 'We have never had one of them stay here and we won't do it now.'" "There were a number of delegates waiting for room assignments immediately around the group, all of whom are witnesses to the refusal of the hotel to fill a reservation which had been given to a guest and the refusal was definitely based on the fact that the guest was a Negro." After the above described occurrence, Misses Fox, Caples and Pinkney went to the Whitelaw Hotel and registered. All the other delegates at the Cairo demanded their money back and checked out.

The only organization authorized by the International Labor Defense to collect and hold funds for Scottsboro defense, it was pointed out is the Action Committee, and such local bodies as may be formed under its direction. Only the LLD, as legal defenders of the boys, can give such authorization. Funds Needed Funds are urgently needed to carry on the defense of the Scottsboro boys, the LLD, pointed out, and should be sent either directly to the National Office of the organization, Room 430, 80 East Eleventh Street, or to the National Scottsboro Action Committee, 119 West 135th Street, both in New York City. No other organizations are authorized to receive any money for the defense. Mr. Leibowitz's statement follows: "As chief counsel in the Scottsboro defense, I desire to make a situation clear in no uncertain terms. I have been and I am now acting as chief counsel in the Scottsboro defense. The LLD, has prosecuted the appeals to the Alabama Supreme Court and to the Supreme Court of the U. S. A., the latter to a successful conclusion, winning for the Scottsboro defendants a new trial. "I in association with Messrs. Joseph R. Brodsky, of New York, 200 National Bank Workers to Meet Next Wednesday The reorganization committee of the Industrial Savings Bank will hold a bi gmeeting of the 200 workers and friends of the bank next Wednesday night at the Y.M.C.A. The selling campaign to increase the capital stock to $200,000 and organize a national bank is under way. The following instructions have been issued to each worker: - Facts Regarding the Proposed National Bank 1. The purpose of the proposed national bank is to provide an institution to take over and liquidate in an orderly and profitable manner the assets of the Industrial Savings Bank. 2. The Industrial Savings Bank is operating on a restricted basis (under conservation) due to the general depreciation in the value of securities, which, if disposed of in the present low market, would result in a loss to depositors. A new bank adequately capitalized will be able to hold these securities until a favorable market for disposition exists. 3. The capitalization of the proposed national bank is to be two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), consisting of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) capital stock and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) surplus. The number of shares will be ten thousand (10,000), having a par value of twenty dollars ($20,00) each, but shall sell for twenty-five dollars ($25,000) in order to provide the surplus of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) as a working fund from the start. 4. Reasons for organizing a national bank are as follows: (a) Federal government charter. (b) Member of Federal Reserve System. (c) Will enjoy full benefits from all laws, institutions, and other measures instituted by the Federal government for the protection of banks on- erating under its supervision. 5. When the two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) capitalization is fully subscribed, and one-half of this amount paid in, the national bank may begin business, the remaining amount being payable in not more than ten months after operations are begun. 6. Subscriber: are expected to pay one-half of their subscriptions in cash by July 1, 1933, the balance may be paid within ten months. 7. If the full amount of capital is not raised, every penny paid in by the subscribers will be returned—no commissions, expenses, or other charges can be deducted from the subscribers' payments. 8. We suggest the purchase of this stock in blocks of four or more shares. PONTIACS VICTORS In a closely contested game the Ponticets defeated the O Streeters, 10-8, last Friday, at the Walker Stadium. The same two teams will play a return game this week. and General George W. Chamlee of Chattanooga, conducted the trial of Heywood Patterson in Decatur. "Since the termination of this trial, various organizations and individuals have presumed to announce to the public that they were forming themselves into independent bodies or committees for the purpose of raising funds to defray the necessary legal expense that may be entailed in the carrying of these cases to the higher courts on appeal' Receives no Fees "I have never received nor am I receiving nor shall I receive any legal fees in connection with my work in these cases. However, there are necessary expenses which must be incurred in the carrying of these cases to the higher courts upon appeal such as printing of the record in the lower court, briefs, etc. "And I am informed that they have employed my name as a so-called stalking-horse stating that they will set up such defense committees with me at the head of them and work independently of the LLD. "I cannot make it too clear that I have never given anyone my authority to take such action and that no one, either organization, committee or individual is authorized by me either directly or indirectly to make such representations. "I am working in conjunction with the ILD, and the National Scottsboro Action Committee in the continuance of the effort to liberate these innocent Negro defendants. We have been and are now working together in the closest harmony and it is the moral duty and obligation on the part of anyone seeking to aid in this noble cause to make whatever contributions they can directly to the non-partisan committee which has been organized—known as the National Scottsboro Action Committee of which Samuel C. Patterson is chairman, the Rev. J. W. Brown, of Mother Zion Church of New York, is treasurer, and Miss Louise Thompson is secretary." REV. BECTON DEAD (Continued from page 1) sleuth, reached his side and took him from the car. Yet the detective says that Becton would say nothing to him about the shooting. 4. Becton died intestate; he had no known bank accounts or insurance policies. He, however, owned a house at 62 West 120th Street, New York City. 5. The theory that the shooting was result of an alleged attack by Becton on the "numbers" racket is discounted by police who said that Becton did not attempt any crusade against "numbers" playing. 6. The theory that the shooting was result of jealousy on the part of a Philadelphia minister or group of ministers is also discounted by police who said that while Becton was drawing large crowds of church folks, that had not affected the attendance at any of the churches. Out-of-Town Gunmen 7. While police would not advance any theories about the shooting, yet it was learned from reliable sources that the gunmen were not known to them and in all probability were brought from some other state for the killing. 8. A New York angle of jealousy of Becton's affluence and power is being held by police as a possible and probable motive. 9. No immediate arrests are predicted by police and they admit that despite the fact that the ace detectives of the Philadelphia police department are tracking down any and all clues, they have reached an impasse as far as solution of the mystery goes. In the meantime, however, the big question of why Becton was killed remains unsolved. H.U. Graduation Exercises to Be Held in Stadium The annual commencement at Howard University this year will be held in the stadium, according to the office of Dr. Mordecai Johnson this week. However, it was pointed out that there had been some objection to holding the exercises in the stadium by some members of the senior class as the campus gives a better setting for exercises, graduates claimed. Dr. Johnson's secretary told the Tribune Thursday afternoon that the plan to hold the exercises in the stadium had not been altered. J. E.

VICTORY LIFE INS COMPANY READY FOR BUSINESS VICTORY LIFE INS COMPANY READY FOR BUSINESS CHICAGO - Voicing the opinion that the Victory Life Insurance Company is again in a healthy financial condition after having been in a receivership since 1931, Federal Judge E. A. Evans pronounced it ready to do business again as a mutual company, Thursday. The action came as a result of remedies proposed by leaders of a group of local insurance companies which proved to be effective. The assets of the old company are reported to have been saved and all the policholders will be protected, Cash has been raised to pay outstanding claims and a program of development outlined. Officials New Nearly all the officers are new, although it has been apparent that the organizers would see that each section of the country containing a substantial group of policyholders was represented. Only one position remains to be filled, chairman of the board of directors, which has been offered to Dr. P. M. H. Savory, of New York. He is a large stockholder and policyholder. Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention, has been chosen as head. The other officers are: executive vice-president, John Holloman, chairman of the board of directors of the Pyramid Mutual Life Insurance Company; vice-president and general counsel, A. L. Williams, attorney; secretary, J. E. Mitchel, acting president of the Underwriters Mutual Life Insurance Company; J. I. Moorehead, attorney; director of agencies, J. A. Howard; assistant director of agencies, I. J. Joseph. Overton Left Out The new directors are: Dr. L. K. Williams, A. L. Williams, J. E. Mitchel, John Holloman, Dr. S. W. Smith, the Rev. J. H. Branham, Dr. E. H. Miller, I. J. Joseph, Sandy Trice, John L. Dent, H. E. Hall, J. E. Hubbard, J. A. Howard, Joseph Watson, and J. I. Moorehead. The name of Anthony Overton, chairman of the old Victory Life, is not among the new officials, I. J. Joseph, one of the founders, is retained. Several white companies bid for the Victory, but Judge Evans took the view when the case first came to his attention that the company's benefits should be reserved for the colored group if it could be possibly done. MRS. J. F. WILSON (Continued from page 1) ing banks: Washington Loan and Trust Company, $84.49; Security Savings and Commercial Bank, $6.68; Commercial National Bank, $4,607.14; and the United States Savings Bank, $5,000. She alleges that the sums in the two latter banks are not available as the Commercial National Bank is now in process of liquidation and the United States Savings Bank has not been opened since March 4. She further states that when the present receivers took over the company on February 29, 1932, there was turned over to them money in excess of $125,000, and that since their appointment they have collected a sum in excess of half a million dollars from policy-holders and income from assets owned by the company. Huge Sums Paid Receivers She alleges that huge sums have been paid to the receivers and their counsel and points out the insolvent condition of the company and the receivership. Mrs. Wilson asks that the receivers be required to turn over the BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL management and control of all assets of the company to receivers to be appointed and that the present receivers be required to render a complete accounting for all of the assets, moneys, property and records of the company. $200,000 in Fees The petition alleges "that notwithstanding the premises, and the poor financial condition of the company, and without regards for the interest of the aforesaid so-called 'modified' policies, the said permanent receivers have expended great sums of money, to wit, more than $200,000 for receivers' fees, attorneys' fees, and actuarial fees in the District of Columbia alone, not to mention what moneys or other valuable assets have been expended in jurisdictions where ancillary receivers of the defendant corporation are serving, for similar services, all of which have occurred with the consent and approval of the said permanent receivers." It is also alleged that all of the allowances for receivers and attorneys' fees have been on account, which indicates that further claims will be hereafter presented by the receivers and their attorneys for large fees. She avers that unless some action is taken to conserve the assets of the insolvent receivership insurance business, for the benefit of the rights of her and others similarly situated, she and other policyholders will suffer irreparable injury. Griffith Trophy Awarded to Armstrong High Team Clark Griffith, owner of the National Baseball club, presented the Clark Griffith silver trophy to members of the Armstrong High School nine at an assembly at the school. Thursday morning. The Armstrong team won the city high school title. The trophy stands over three feet high and has a figure of a baseball player on top. H.U. STUDENT DIES (Continued from page 1) following the mishap. He quoted Cabel, who later learned his identity, as stating a willingness to help defray hospital expenses. Wound is Four Inches Long Dr. Marshall T. Garrett, of the Freedmen's Hospital staff, was the first witness called. He testified that young Anderson was admitted to the hospital about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon and appeared frightened and suffering from shock. He described the handle bar puncture of four inches in length which had _penetrated_ Anderson's peritoneum and a portion of the small intestine, which had to be removed. The operation was performed by Dr. Nelson, Dr. Garrett assisting. Dr. C. J. Murphy, white, who performed the autopsy, explained in medical language, the tissues, cells, etc., pierced by the handle bar. He commented on the operation, saying it had been skillfully and neatly done. Officer T. Barnett, white, of the Second Precinct, stated he was in the Lincoln Luncheonette when he heard the crash and darted out. He described his work in directing traffic and making observations, after noting that two men were preparing to take Anderson to the hospital in a passing taxi. Testimony Favors Cabel Practically all who testified, under a gruelling cross examination by Mr. Howard, admitted they knew Cabel, and their testimony tended to absolve him from criminal liability in the death. Simon McCullough, 1410 Sixteenth Street, Northwest, a taxi driver, told the jury of having trailed Cabel from Thirteenth Street to the scene of the accident at the rate of about 15 miles per hour. He further stated that marks showed that the motorcycle had skidded about 30 feet into the front wheel of the automobile, which was at a standstill. "I saw the motorcycle start up after stopping at the red light at the Vermont Avenue intersection." McCullough testified. "Cabel was trying to make a left hand turn, but the motorcycle had such speed on, Cabel stopped his car and the man crashed into his front wheel." Pulled Bar From Side McCullough and Michael Wright, of 2150 L Street, Northwest, another taxi man, both narrated how they pulled the bar from Anderson's side as he slumped over the machine, and rushed him to the hospital. James Bennett, 773 Hobart Street, Northwest, a porter in a barber shop in the 1300 block of U Street, swore he was walking along U Street, heard a skid and turned just in time to see the crash. Leroy Peele, 1714 Fourteenth Street, also testified he was walking along the street when he heard the skid and turned to see the crash. Peele and Bennett both said Cable had come to a stop. Says Youth Was Confused Michael Wright told the examiners that the dead youth apparently became confused when Cabel's car stopped, as he was seen to manipulate the handle bars from side to side just before he crashed into the automobile. He also stated that Cabel was making a "sharp turn." On the stand, Cabel told of working at the Catholic University for the past ten years and never having had a traffic accident. In his account he narrated he was trying to make a turn but saw the motorcycle coming with such speed that he stopped his machine, leaving enough room for the motorcycle to pass either in front of his machine or in the rear. The deceased's brother was the next on the stand, permitted to testify by agreement of the acting coroner, Dr. H. M. M. McDonald, and counsel. His statements developed around conversations with his brother at the hospital, none conflicting with the testimony so far given. Commends Deceased's Character The body of Anderson was shipped to his native home, Muskogee, Okla., Monday. He entered the educational course at Howard University at the beginning of the 1932-33 session. He had graduated from the Muskogee High School with high honors. According to Mrs. Lorraine Robinson, of the Harvard Street address, with whom Anderson roomed he rode on his motorcycle all the way from Muskogee to this city to enter school. She was high in her commendation of the youth, saying he was mannerly and well liked by all in the vicinity who knew him. Definite information as to survivors could not be obtained, although it was established that he has parents in Muskogee, other relatives in New York, in addition to his brother, Alger. DR. STRATTON KILLED (Continued from page 1) his efforts to bring it into the road. Howard Graduate Besides his wife, Dr. Stratton is survived by his mother, Mrs. Lillian Stratton, of Doylesville, Pa.; two sisters, Mrs. Inez Harris, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Grace Lewis of Doylestown, Pa.; and four brothers, Dr. Howard Stratton and Savoy Stratton, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Charles Stratton, of Doylesville, and Andrew Stratton, of Reading, Pa. Dr. Stratton is a graduate of the Howard University School of Medicine and has been practicing here for a number of years. He was born in Doylesville, Pa. in 1888 and was well known in Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. Funeral service was held Thursday at St. Luke P.E. Church. The rector, the Rev. Thomas J. Brown, officiated. Interment was in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery, Thursday. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Negroes and Vitalized Politics - By THE LIBERATORS Memorial Day has passed, but during this Democratic rage, we mean age, we should mourn more for the living than for the dead. * * * * * Legislation is being sprayed like shot from an automatic bird gun. Are Negroes game, hunters, accident victims, or servants to the game feast guest? * * * * * Congressman Oscar DePriest has attempted with copies of the Constitution, kindergarten enlightenment, and has acquired a fair degree of success. However, the pace is fast and if necessary we must in part go through legislative college by going in one gate and coming out the other, grasping what we may by absorption and peripheration. Negroes must find a way to shorten the gap between themselves and the rest of their countrymen. Our legislative enactment of the moment is the National Industrial Recovery Act. This Act is divided under two titles: (a) Industrial Recovery, (b) Public Works and Construction Projects. The objective of this emergency act is to reduce and relieve unemployment. This accomplishment is based on the co-ordination of all industry, in respect to the conditions and pay of labor (with the intent of spreading work and increasing purchasing power), plus a Government program of construction. The duration of this act depends upon whiskey, in other words, the 18th Amendment, if and when repealed, also if revenue therefrom warrants. The success of the repealing this referred to whiskey amendment and its revenue will determine the duration and burden of your taxation, which if satisfactory, then the President will repeal this emergency act. Title (A)—In general that all business activities shall measure up to the intent of American laws and standards, protecting both employer and employees, alike. Items that should interest Negroes as to applied interpretations are: compliance of employers relative to maximum working hours, rates of minimum pay, and general working conditions. Title (B)—Creates a Federal Emergency Administration of Public works, which involves highways, parkways, flood control, water power, and other matters. Government money backs this entire (B) program, which ultimately, directly or indirectly, Negroes will proportionately pay back. In many instances the work will be operated by and through a series of sub-contractors. If and during such, it must not be left to these sub-contractors to determine as to what is a Negro's living wage, or the length of his work day. Furthermore, petty Government officials must be prevented from working in cahoots with such sub-contractors to the disadvantage of Negro employees. All Government projects at least must maintain standard pay, hours, and working conditions, without any kind of discrimination. Since the power of regulation now rests wholly with our chief executive, we, the Liberators ask that each and every Negro write to the President, requesting for Negroes equal opportunity to work, equal hours, and standard wages for pay. His address is Franklin D. Roosevelt, White House, Washington, D.C. **** We understand that had Brother Hoover been re-elected, there would have been a Century of Progress World Fair Negro Commission. As is, are we right, or are we wrong? **** If a different form of District is being considered, why can't Negroes (representing more than twenty-five per cent of the local population) be included in such contemplation?

He avers that he received no money from Mr. Gary for any rents collected by him from July 1, 1931, through December, 1931. After Clark and Bryan qualified on February 29, 1932, they instructed Mr. Risher to continue collections, which he did up to December 31, 1932. At this time they requested Mr. Risher to turn over and surrender to them the possession and exclusive charge of the Masonic Temple, which he did. Asks $1.146 Commission Mr. Risher contends that he rendered a complete, detailed accounting of all rents collected and invited the receivers to inspect all original receipts. He asks the court to dismiss the receivers' petition and enter an order adjudging him entitled to $1,140 commission on rent, collections and leases. Mr. Risher also requests the court to order the receivers to perform a written promise to him on January 9, 1933, by paying all accounts of creditors of the temple account, the names and amounts due being set forth in the agreement. In a statement to The Tribune, Mr. Risher observed that nothing had ever been heard of any unreported rent for the period named until he opposed the high fees paid the receivers. To Oppose Receivers He also expressed vigorous opposition to another proposal of the receivers to lease practically the ground floor, for the sum of $400, to interests planning to install a department store. According to him, the space is well worth $750 per month. Mr. Risher's plans to fight the petition of the receivers to carry through with the negotiation when it comes up for a hearing. Masons' Eviction Rapped Voicing himself on the Masonic situation, the former National Benefit head declared: "I think it outrageous that they were evicted without due process of law. It is true that the lodge was in default but I think there was some equitable ground upon which they can make an attack. N.B.L. May Lose Temple "I have always contended that the Masons were not treated fairly by the receivers or the former heads of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. The building is now on the verge of being lost by the receivers as an asset to the National Benefit Company, because the interest and mortgage notes are in default. The principal was due on February 5; it was not renewed by the receivers, neither was any satisfactory arrangement made with the holder for a renewal." TAXICAB DAMAGE SUIT it as a taxicab and that the name of Try-Me had been placed on the license record because of an inquiry at the license office as to the name of the company in which it was to be used. Dodging Damage Suits Justice Hitz ruled that it was clear that the cab was engaged in a public calling under license of public authority issued upon the joint application of the company and Jackson and bore the name of the company and was sent out by the company. The court also pointed out that the business was more like a cab calling company and ruled it was held liable in cases of accidents. The judgment of the municipal court was reversed and the cause remanded. Mrs. Rhone was represented by Attorneys Nathan A. Dobbins and William H. Hastie. It is pointed out by prominent attorneys that other cab companies in the District have been operating in a like manner and dodging damage suits by disclaiming ownership of cabs bearing their names. They have been alleging that the drivers are owners and they are not liable. The decision of Justice Hitz is expected to result in a number of suits that have been contemplated by attorneys, yet have been withheld due to a number of adverse decisions in the municipal court. National Scottsboro Action Committee Expels Sabotagers NEW YORK (LLD.)—Expulsion of those members of the National Scottsboro Action Committee who took part in the sabotage delegation led by William H. Davis, publisher of the Amsterdam News, to President Roosevelt in an attempt to smash the Scottsboro march, has been voted by the committee, it was announced. The Davis delegation, it is alleged, spent $800 collected by the Harlem publisher ostensibly for the Scottsboro Defence, to go down to Washington, without authority, to tell Roosevelt, May 5, that they represented the Negro people, and that the marchers, who were the Negro people supported by white workers, did not. The move was obviously designed to sabotage the march, it is claimed by the LLD. The members of the Action Committee expelled were J. Dalmis Steele, Tammany-st. led "mayor of Harlem," and Serand A. Virgil, member of the Afro-Protective League, of Brooklyn. THREE THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 2. 1933 CIVIC ASSO.

Morehouse College quartet of Atlanta, Ga., who sang for President Roosevelt at the White House last Wednesday, appeared in special chapel exercises at Howard University, Thursday, at noon. The quartet was presented by President Mordecal W. Johnson, himself a graduate of Morehouse College. President Johnson introduced Maynard Jackson, Morehouse alumni secretary, who presented members of the quartet, with Simeon Clements, first tenor; Edward Rodriguez, second tenor; Kenneth Williams, first bass; and Wilson Hubert, second bass. Before introducing members of the quartet, Mr. Jackson told of the affiliation of Morehouse College, Spelman, and Atlanta University, into the new Atlanta University, with Dr. John Hope as president. Mr. Jackson stressed the importance of extra-curricular activities, indicating that in many instances Morehouse men who had won distinction were active in the various college organizations, with President Johnson as a member of the baseball team and debater; Edward S. Hope, as a basketball star; and the Rev. Howard Thurman, debater, and editor of the college annual; and the Rev. William H. King, as having distinguished himself in tennis. The numbers presented by the quartet include: "Climbing up the Mountain," "I Am a Soldier," and "Mary's Babe," with solo by Clement; "Passing By," "Pale Moon," Mr. Rodriguez sang "On the Road to Mandalay," as a solo. "Remember Now Thy Creator," from the 12th chapter of Ecclesiastes, was the final number before the singing of the Morehouse alma mater, after which the Howard University students and faculty responded with their own anthem. Miss Camille Nickerson, of the Howard University School of Music, was accompanist. Following the concert, members of the quartet were guests of the faculty of the school of music at luncheon. During their stay in Washington the Morehouse singers gave three concerts to Washington audiences, appearing before the Southern Baptist Convention, the Northern, and the combined sessions of these organizations. They were heard in a radio program over the National Broadcasting System, from Station WMAL. Other appearances included Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Dunbar and Armstrong High School, and the Miner Teachers' College. Dogs Seem Partial to Left Sides of Victims The hot weather which fell upon the city the past week brought with it the danger of bites from dogs, five people suffering from such wounds in one day, Thursday, all being bitten on the left side. Howell Howard, 22, of 2246 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, was bitten on the left thigh while walking along near Twelfth and Florida Avenue, Northwest. Leonard Plummer, 6, of 633 W Street, Northwest, was also bitten on the left thigh, on Georgia Avenue, Northwest. Robert Diggs, 30, of 607 N Street, Northwest, was bitten on the left thigh in the 2200 block of Twelfth Street, Northwest.

Dr. Flexner Again Although Dr. Abram Flexner, chairman of the board of trustees of Howard University, may not consider himself to be in a tight place, evidently some of his supporters so regard him. This attitude seems to be due in considerable part to a feeling that criticism of him is—or is intended to be—aimed probably at President Mordecai Johnson. However, in this case, Dr. Flexner's offensive dictum that whoever—student or faculty—does not approve of his way of running things may get out, is as much a slap in the face of the president as of any other employee whose tenure may be dependent upon the favor of the present head of the board. Of course there is the apparent inability of some people to differentiate between criticising real or supposed faults of "the administration" and condemning the university itself. This attitude is not new nor unusual. The same attitude existed during the incumbency of Dr. Johnson's predecessor. The feeling that the king can do no wrong extends beyond the limits of the king's bounty. Moreover, Dr. Flexner's attitude is not unique; it is the usual one with self-opinionated Nordics when dealing with "lesser breeds." Dr. Flexner's apparent feeling that young Negro women have no rights or sensibilities that he is due to respect is more of a racial obsession than a bit of personal arrogance. Of course there are exceptional white persons who do not feel to be innately superior to all other peoples in judgment and do not regard themselves as God-endowed with rightful authority to dominate any situation where white and non-white come into contact. However, the alumni of at least one branch of the university has shown that they are not willing to let Dr. Flexner's ill-manners and bumptiousness pass unreubked. Clifford C. Mitchell Released Along with many other editors and readers we congratulate and felicitate Clifford C. Mitchell on his coming release from confinement. The Tribune had the honor—so Mr. Mitchell says—of being the first paper in the East to use his weekly release, "Digesting the News." We have also from time to time published other articles from his pen. The Tribune much regrets that a contemplated laudatory editorial and appeal for his release has not been published; and, strangely enough, only last week a letter was written to Mr. Mitchell promising such an editorial this week. We are glad it is not needed and hope that we may be still favored with his excellent contributions. As stated in a last minute note with his article, "Prisons and Prisoners," last week, he has been granted a parole by the governor of Michigan, effective June 8. What are We Protesting? A recent release sent out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People states that a formal protest has been sent to President Roosevelt concerning the treatment of the colored Gold Star Mothers. The letter of protest from Walter White, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., said: The administration preceding yours aroused widespread indignation among colored Americans and many white citizens by sending colored Gold Star mothers in separate contingents and on separate and inferior ships to visit the graves of their sons and husbands in French cemeteries. We note that this most reprehensible custom is being continued. We respectfully urge you to order this discriminatory practice discontinued immediately. This release appeared in several papers, and, in most instances, in the headings the letter was referred to as a protest against the Jim crowing of the mothers. Now, to The Tribune, Mr. White's letter did not seem to be strictly a protest against the jim crowing since he connected it with a complaint about the inferiority of the ships used for the colored contingents. It was at least as much a protest against the sort of ships on which the mothers were transported as against the segregation. And right there is where our anti-jim-crow protests usually fail to be impressive—they are almost invariably so connected with or mixed with other considerations than mere discrimination that, like the cross-eyed man about to shoot, they seem to be looking in one direction and aiming in another. What are we protesting—discrimination or inferior accommodations? Would we be content with separate ships if they were of equal comfort, speed and elegance? Is a jim crow car any less such if it is equal in all respects to other cars in the train? The same sort of muddled complaints crop up practically every time jim crowing in the theatres and in other situations comes up; and many persons excuse the segregation on the grounds that our seats or positions were "just as good." But we would naturally expect the secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. to be more circumspect and explicit. Jim crowing is separation based on color —that's all. The sort of accommodations has nothing to do with it. Why then bring that up? Littleness Not One-Sided Commenting on the lack of appreciative expression in our papers of the enterprise shown by the Co-operative Publishers in sending two representatives to report the Decatur, Alabama, trial of Heywood Patterson, one of the Scottsboro boys, FAY, in his column, "The Moving Finger," in the Kansas City Call, said: The shortsightedness of most editors and publishers, the selfish desire to sell themselves and not the publication, the selfish desire to want to see all others in a similar line of endeavor killed off and their inability to do anything worth while, themselves, has been a serious handicap to the old-time editors and publishers. The ability to do things very seldom brings forth a line of praise. Usually it creates a desire, on the part of some, to stand behind a wall and plug a brick at those who are marching on. During the past few weeks, I have been watching with interest to see how many Negro newspapers would comment on the splendid work done at Decatur, Ala., by William N. Jones, managing editor of the Baltimore Afro-American, and P. Bernard Young, Jr., managing editor of the Norfolk Journal and Guide. The Washington Tribune and the California Eagle so far have seen fit to praise the work of the two newspaper men. The Tribune, in particular, stepped right out with a whopping editorial. Other papers remain silent. To all of this—including the implied praise—The Tribune assents, although in certain passages, not included in our quotation, Fay gives the co-ops more credit than is rightly their due; at the same time he fails to state that not all of the papers he praises for accomplishments were generous enough or sufficiently broad-minded to reciprocally comment on the credit given to their enterprise in this instance. Fay says, toward the end of his article: The Co-operative group thanks the Washington Tribune and the California Eagle editors. While the group, through its president, as a group, acknowledged our congratulations, some of the individual members of it were—as Mrs. Browning would probably express it—eloquently silent. The littleness is not all on one side. A Contrast The unequivocal, uncompromising spirit displayed by the white girls who stood up for Miss Floria Pinkney at the Cairo Hotel here recently, as related last week, is in heartening contrast to the alleged pusillanimous attitude of two colored boys in a school party from Philadelphia which recently is said to have had similar trouble at another hotel in this city. It is reported that although the teacher in charge of the party refused to yield to the manager's objections to taking care of the colored boys, the boys themselves offered to go to the colored Y.M.C.A., but the white teacher would not consent. He won out, finally, and all were taken care of at the hotel. What of the Future? By GEORGE S. SCHUYLER in the Pittsburgh Courier Professional classes cannot survive without a working class on which to live. That is a social law. It therefore behooves those of us who are able to think at all, to get busy and devise some way out—even half-way out—before the masses attain that state of mental and physical stagnation that defeats all progressive plans and policies. Sad to relate, I know of no important organization or prominent leader among us voicing any sound, workable, adequate plan for the future. The N.A.A.C.P. confines itself to the legal angle of advancement. The Urban League is concerned solely with treating effects and issuing lubriubious warnings of a dismal future. The ballyhoo boys of the National Negro Business League have been clam-like since the folding up of so many "capstones of Negro business" and the fatal wasting disease afflicting the C.M.A. stores. Nothing comes from our college presidents save moans for more money. Our ecclesiastical realtors have successfully concealed any ideas they may have accidently acquired. Our numerous Doctors of Philosophy and Masters of Arts who profess this and that in our so-called educational institutions are either sink in the rut of complacency, are dabbling in "Nego Art" and amateur theatricals, investigating the mysteries revealed by Krafft-Ebing or battling bravely to keep up installment payments. Our fraternal leaders are mere gassy parasites. Of our politicians nothing need be said. What is to become of an underprivileged, slum proletariat whose leadership is incapable of formulating any sound program to get it out of the barrel? THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JUNE 2. 1933 The Negro Seeks Succor Finds No Trustworthy Door open to Him Would Embrace Communism but for Doubt of Its Ability to Bring Economic and Political Security. All weak peoples must needs look beyond their own strength for vicarious salvation. The history of the Jewish race furnishes the classic illustration of this principle. Always weak and helpless amidst their more powerful enemies they lifted their "eyes unto the hills whence cometh our help." Being constantly baffled and buffeted by surrounding gentile nations, they sought protection from on high. This hope deferred, kept them in a constant messianic state of mind. By virtue of this vicarious political dependence they were enabled to teach the world the need of a vicarious spiritual salvation. They were on the constant lookout for the promised one who should redeem Israel. They waited for centuries under this salutary delusion for the fulfilment of time. The prophet is never daunted by the failure of his prophecy. Mankind became the moral and spiritual beneficiary of this secular vicariousness. The promised Savior came in the unfolding of the Hebrew scripture. The rebelious and stiff-necked Jews rejected him who was accepted by the Gentiles and became the foundation stone of the Christian scheme of salvation.

HISTORY OF JEWS PARALLELS PREDICAMENT OF NEGRO Parallelism between the Jew and the Negro runs on all fours. The transplanted African, in the land of his enslavement, found no human hope in this low ground of sorrow but pined for his heavenly home which was "built on high." He drank in the Old Testament scriptures as the thirsty land drinks in the April showers. The Hebrew scriptures but represent the Jewish soul turned wrong side out; the Negro spirituals but represent the Negro soul turned wrong side out. In both we find a burning yearning for a fairer world beyond this vale of tears. They both look to the skies for salvation. After his emancipation, the Negro found himself in the midst of painful realities. He soon transferred his dependence from the skies and sought help mundane and terrestrial. The great North had freed him, and to the North he looked for eternal nurture and support. The missionaries came down to redeem him from ignorance and superstition. He accepted this proffer of salvation as ordained of God. The Republican party soon became his political salvator, upon which he relied as implyc as the Hebrews of old depended upon the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It was in 1872 that Frederick Douglass uttered his famous motto "The Republican Party is the ship! all else is the sea." Parallelism between the Jew and the Negro runs on all fours.

GREW APATHETIC Great is our disillusionment when we are forced to feel that our God has forsaken us. The North grew apathetic, the Republican party grew remiss. The missionaries had taught us to rely upon Protestant religion as our never failing refuge and stay in the time of need and distress. But now the Church is disposed to cast us overboard, to sink or swim with our own weak or strong arm. But we still look for vicarious succor. Some point to the Catholic church whose historic policy embraces all men without regard to race or color. The historic church senses its strategic opportunity, but stands appalled at the magnitude of the difficulty. The Catholic church is willing to go the limit short of social equality. This it lacks the courage to dare in face of the Protestant majority whose creed cannot cross the color line. Great is our disillusionment when we are forced to feel that our God has forsaken us.

CATHOLICS LACK THE COURAGE OF THEIR PROFESSIONS The Catholic university in Washington lacks the courage to receive Negro students and thus incur the odium and taunts which its Protestant sister institution would cast in its teeth. When in Rome, as do the Romans do. When among Protestants, do as the Protestants do. The Catholic church lacks the courage to violate that ancient motto and shrinks from the bold attempt to capture the Negro race. Labor and capital are now at each other's throats. The outcome of the issue is doubtful but the balance of chance seems to waver to labor's side. The Negro would embrace labor as his salvator, but alas, finds himself repelled with a harshness greater than that which he receives at the hand of capital. This repellency throws him back upon the lap of capitalism which tolerates him mainly as a tool to break the assault of labor. He is willing, in his helplessness, to embrace any power mightier than himself whence help might come.

Now come the Communists with open and outstretched hands bidding him welcome and offering him political and economic salvation. He hesitates to embrace this proffered salvation only because he doubts the competency of the self-assumed salvator. How can they save others when themselves they cannot save? The Negro knows little about the doctrinal basis and underlying philosophy of communism and has no spontaneous care about these things. His chief concern is the ability of the Communists to deliver the goods. If that time should ever come, and if they then would still hold out the arms of opportunity, there is not the shadow of a doubt but that the Negro would embrace this cult as a means of salvation. The Negro is now in the desperate stage of barter for salvation. He will desert the North for the South, the Republican for the Democratic party, the church for paganism, labor for capital or capital for labor, whichever offers the best chance for racial salvation. Such, alas, is the lamentable predicament of a race or a people who seek salvation outside of themselves. Such, alas, is the lamentable predicament of a people who seek salvation outside of themselves. Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell CHICAGO BOUND! If I live, and nothing happens If I live and nothing happens to the transportation facilities, some time during the day of June 8 (this year) I shall be Chicago bound. This has all been made possible, indirectly, through the co-operation of each reader, throughout America, who has read any of my releases during the past three years. Directly, my freedom has been made possible through the generous co-operation given me by the many editors and publishers, of both races, who have been so liberal and generous in their efforts to publicise my weekly messages. Still more directly, my freedom is the result of the scores of influential Americans, of both races, who have interceded, directly and indirectly, in my belief, to my pardon and parole commission, W. Alfred Debo, and to Governor William A. Comstock. In my particular instance it was not a question of whether any prominent person was willing to sponsor my future efforts, but which of the many offers to do so would afford me the greatest contact and give me the greatest opportunity to continue and enlarge upon my efforts now that I have "found" myself and have proved that I could be useful. The parole commissioner eventually influenced, decided greatly by the recommendations of Charlie Diggs, assistant parole commissioner of Detroit, that my best contact was in the offer of Harry H. Pace, president of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company, of Chicago, who wrote a long personal letter to Governor Comstock in which he assured the governor that if I were paroled to Chicago that he, Mr. Pace, would take a personal interest in my welfare and offer me every opportunity to make a success of my work and to become a credit to the race through my writings. To all Chicagoans I wish to send a message. All my life my troubles have always come about through the representation that I possessed more than I actually had. Now I wish to start clean. I am frank to say that I have nothing. Not only am I shy on worldly goods but I do not even possess all that nature gave me—however, a good dentist can remedy that in short order. I do come to Chicago, however, with a proved ability that I can make myself useful, and a determination to erect upon the firm foundation that I have now laid, a structure of service that Chicagoans will be proud of and that will reflect credit upon those who are sponsoring my future efforts. So many people have contributed their moral influence in making the present situation possible and I am now preparing a complete statement of such efforts, showing in detail just how each person came to the "front" for me, in a time when it was needed. This acknowledgement of thanks will be prepared in pamphlet form and distributed freely to all my readers, shortly after my release, June 8. Until then, just thanks to all of you. AFRICAN CLAIRVOYANCY From the New York Times When one considers that even some educated people are unable to resist fortune tellers and similar charlatans, it is not surprising that primitive man strives to peer into the future, declares Field Museum News, Chicago. In Africa many methods are followed; for example, throwing bones and noting their arrangement when they fall; swirting in the sand; examining the entrails of animals, and shaking a divination basket. "In Field Museum is such a basket used by the Ovimbundu of Angola," says the writer. "This kind of divinatory apparatus is still employed and two of the baskets from Angola are among the material collected by the Frederick H. Rawson-Field Museum Ethnological Expedition in 1929. "To the accompaniment of a friction drum the diviner shakes his basket, then pauses to observe what trinkets have come to the top. Two little wooden figures with their mouths close together may appear prominently. "At once the diviner says that two people are whispering, plotting to kill by poison. A round piece of wood comes to the top. This is an open human mouth; some one, probably a woman, has been gossiping too freely. A little wooden snake appears at the top—the limbs of some unfortunate person will be tisted iith pain. So the forecast proceeds with remedies suggested by the diviner." I cannot see beyond the veil With these poor mortal eyes. But faith shows life on a higher scale When I shall severe these earthly ties. I cannot see the glory that awaits me there But if here I do my best. Faith tells me there is a God some where The Negro Before the Courts During the Year 1932 By HARRY H. JONES During 1932, court reports show that five cases affecting the Negro's civil status were decided by appalate courts. Two of these cases, Nixon v. Condon (286 U. S. 73) and Powell et al v. Alabama (the Scottsboro Case, 287 U. S. 73.) were decided favorably to colored litigants by the United States Supreme Court. One case, White v. County Democratic Executive Committee (60 F. (2d) 973, the Federal District Court of Texas decided in part for the Negro suitor, and partly against him. In the two remaining cases: County Democratic Executive Committee V. Booker (53 S. W. 123), and Lee v. Md. 161 A. 284), the first was decided against the litigant, and in the second, the judgment below was reversed. Strange to say, in three of the cases mentioned the political rights of the race were involved and all arose in Texas. Two other cases concerned "due process" in criminal trials and exclusion of Negroes from jury services. Nixon v. Condon grew out of Nixon v. Herndon, (273 U. S. 536), in which the Supreme Court held that a Texas statute barring Negroes from voting in primary elections violated the constitutional guaranty of the Fourteenth Amendment. Following this decision, the Texas legislature passed a law authorizing political parties to prescribe the qualifications of their members. The Texas Primaries The Texas Democratic State Executive Committee, by resolution, limited the participation in its primaries to white voters. Nixon challenged this procedure, and although defeated in two lower Federal courts, appealed to the United States Supreme Court, where by five to four, that court reversed the judgments below. Mr. Justice Cardozo speaking for the majority, held that the Democratic party in Texas was not a voluntary association like a club, but was an agency of the State, and that Nixon's exclusion was the act of the State, and that under the Fourteenth Amendment, the act of the committee was void. The court said: "The pith of the matter is simply this, that when those agencies (local committees) are invested with an authority independent of the will of the association in whose name they undertake to speak, they become to that extent the organs of the State itself, the repositories of official power . . . The test is whether they are classified as representatives of the State to such an extent and in such a sense that the great restraints of the Constitution sets limits to their action. . . . "Justices Butler, McReynolds, Sutherland and Van DeVanter dissented, in holding that the statute did not create the Democratic party as a State agent, but merely recognized its existence. The Scottsboro Case In the Scottsboro Case, the facts show that the nine defendants were indicted for rape, a capital offense in Alabama, six days after the commission of the alleged acts and were tried on the day they were indicted. The defendants, being both poor and illiterate, had procured no counsel, and no effectual appointment of counsel was made by the trial court until the day of the trial. No continuance was asked by counsel nor granted by the court. Defense counsel attempted no formal cross examination of the State's witnesses. The defendants were speedily convicted. The Supreme Court by seven to two vote held that this was a violation of due process under the Fourteenth Amendment, since it was the duty of the court not only to appoint counsel for poor defendants in capital cases, but also to see that adequate opportunity is given for the preparation of the defense. Delivering the major opinion, Mr. Justice Sutherland said in part: "We think the failure of the trial court to give them reasonable time and opportunity to secure counsel was a clear denial of due process. But passing that, and assuming their inability, even if opportunity had been given, to employ counsel, as the trial court evidently did assume, we are of the opinion, that under the circumstances just stated, the necessity of counsel, was so vital and imperative that the failure of the trial court to make an effective appointment of counsel was likewise a denial of due process within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. Logical Corollary "In a case such as this, whatever may be the rule in other cases the right to have counsel appointed when necessary, is a logical corollary from the constitutional right to be heard by counsel." Justices Butler and McReynolds, dissenting, contended that the defendants had been ably represented by counsel, and that the evidence from the record failed to show the lack of opportunity of the defen- SPECIAL FEATURES dants to properly prepare their case. Following the decision of the Supreme Court in Nixon v. Condon, the Texas primary election laws were twice drawn in question. To circumvent the decision in the above case, the State convention of the Texas Democratic party passed a resolution excluding all Negroes from voting in Democratic primaries. The State Executive Democratic Committee ratified this resolution. Julius White a Negro, sought to mandamus the executive committee to compel it to permit him and other qualified Negroes to vote in primary elections. The Texas Federal District Court held that it lacked jurisdiction to maintain such an action, but decided that the state convention acted as an agency of State, and that its resolution violated the Fourteenth Amendment. (Seo White v. County Democratic Committee mentioned above.) In County Democratic Executive Committee v. Booker, Booker, a colored man sought an injunction to restrain the Texas State Democratic Committee from preventing him and other qualified Negroes from voting in Democratic primaries. A Texas civil appeals court by a two to one decision, held that the Democratic Party in Texas was a voluntary political association, which has the constitutional right to determine the qualifications of persons who are to vote in its primaries. It is quite difficult to reconcile this decision with the view expressed by Mr. Justice Cardozo, when he said that political parties are "the agencies of the State, the instruments by which government becomes a living thing." The all-important question, whether in the absence of a statute a political party in Texas can bar Negroes yet to be decided by the United from its primary elections, remains States Supreme Court. The Euel Lee Case In Lee v. State, arising in Maryland, the issue of the exclusion of Negroes from jury service was decided. Euel Lee, a Negro, was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death. Part of the jury was drawn from the regular panel and a part from the court room. No Negroes were drawn for service, nor does it appear that any had ever been summoned for jury service during the twenty-six years of the service trial judge who supervised the drawing of jurors in that jurisdiction. He selected white persons with whom he came in contact or from names suggested to him. The judgment below was reversed, the appellate court holding, that while the accused Negro could not demand a jury composed partly of his race he could demand a jury from which his race was not excluded, and where evidence shows that jury selection had been restricted to white persons, such practice amounts to an unconstitutional exclusion of Negroes from the jury panel of persons summoned to try the accused. EATS FOR INVALIDS From the Boston Transcript. A wise Frenchman who has compiled a book of dietary menus for invalids, imaginary and otherwise, tells them that no diet should be taken seriously. Not only, says he, is one man's meat another man's poison, but what is regarded as poison by one generation is the nectar and ambrosia of the next. Within 50 years it was common for ladies to decline tomatoes, fresh or canned, stewed or raw or fried, because of a notion that the seeds of cancer lurked in them. It used to be believed that strawberries were bad for sufferers from arthritis. Today, says our Frenchmas, the ban on them is lifted. But, if we are not to take our food too seriously, neither should we swallow the Frenchman whole. There is no gainsaying that strawberries and lobsters affect some people unpleasantly. An innocent Welsh rarebit, if it is followed by a clear Havana cigar, is death in the pot for some. And then there is the diet which, wholesome beyond a doubt, given no pleasure at the table but rather excites violent distaste. The French author was once persuaded to go in for vegetarianism, just to see if it made a man more humane and kindly and indulgent to his wife; if it opened to him a new heaven and a new earth. For several weeks he frequented a vegetarian restaurant, but, finding that all the vegetarians in the place "quarreled incessantly and were covered with pimples," he concluded that a cheerful temper and good looks were largely the product of fried chicken, Maryland style, with candied sweet potatoes and all the other fixings. This diet he would follow for two or three weeks and then vary it with the more appetizing cuts of beef, lamb and pork. In the season he would have the invalid indulge sparingly or to the limit in brook trout, fresh-caught salmon and bluefish or soft-shell crabs. The main thing is not to follow any prescribed diet until it gags, but to browse hither and yon among all the good things that earth and sea and air provide. There will always be found among them combinations that soothe the IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER How the Federal Office of Education serves Negro schools is told by Dr. Ambrose Caliver, in the May issue of the Southern Workman. Dr. Caliver is senior specialist in the education of Negroes for the Federal Office of Education. The Federal Government's educational service to Negroes is reviewed by the writer from the time of the Office of Education's establishment, in 1867, up to the present. The special interest in Negro education of each United States Commissioner of Education from Dr. Henry Barnard, the first Commissioner, to Dr. William John Cooper, the present commissioner, is explained. In 1930, the Office of Education created a new section devoted exclusively to the problems of Negro education. Various activities of this new section are discussed. Dr. Caliver, who has charge of this work, avers that he does not attempt to be responsible for all the services which the Office of Education is called upon to give to colored people. On the contrary, his task is to use as many specialists as possible in the prosecution of his work, and to focus their expert knowledge, in their special fields, on problems coming to him; also to encourage the inclusion of the Negro in as many of their regular and special studies as possible. In addition to disseminating existing information concerning conditions respecting the education of Negroes, the Federal Office of Education makes regular studies and special surveys with a view to increasing the fund of knowledge on the subject. Mr. Caliver in his article states that since 1870 every annual report of a United States Commissioner of Education has contained something about Negro schools and Negro education. During this time nearly 250 such references have appeared in the annual reports, and 14 circulars, special reports and bulletins on the education of Negroes have been published. These publications are listed in the Southern Workman article. *** Two worth while books by the Macmillan Company, New York, are: "Manchuukuo, Child of Conflict," by F. K. Kawakami, the author of "Japan Speaks," writes another of his sensationally impartial surveys of the Eastern imbroglio, this time taking up the new Manchurian state, its relation to Japan, the United States and to world peace.

Opportunity magazine announces that Pearl S. Buck's remarkable speech at the Opportunity dinner given in her honor is the outstanding feature of Opportunity for June. "The Road to the Future" is the title which Mrs. Buck has given to this, her second address on the Negro; and it bids fair to create as great a furor as her "Race Relations and Race Pride," which was published in the January issue. The Opportunity prize story, "A Summer Tragedy," by Arna Bontemps, is also published in this issue of the magazine. Melville Herskovits, distinguished anthropologist of Northwestern University, contributes a brilliant article, "A Footnote to the History of Negro Slavery." Henrique Dias, by J. A. Rogers, is the story of a second Toussaint L'Overture, who by his military skill and genius defeated the best armies of Holland in the battles for power during the earliest history of Brazil. WORLD WAR NOT ENDED The depression is "the last battle of the World War." Dr. James T. Shotwell says in his annual report as director of the division of economics and history of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Dr. Shotwell holds that because the war is the fundamental cause of the depression, the remedies must be political as well as economic. He believes that the only solid guarantee of prosperity lies in strengthening instruments of international policy which are the substitutes of war, such as arbitration, the World Court and the League of Nations. The notion that war in necessary in order to preserve national honor is an anachoristic relic of dueling days. It is nothing short of criminal sentimentalism to maintain that an insult to our flag should be avenged by slaughtering hundreds or thousands or millions of men, women and children of another nation. Moreover, it is the essence of dishonor for a signatory to the Briand-Kellogg Pact to seek the settlement of an international dispute by warlike means.-The World Tomorrow. most tempermental digestive tract and are at the same time so alluring that they would fetch a Thomas Carlyle at a gallop to the table.

Hour after hour, weary, footsore, and the center of attraction, these dogs plodded on and on in quest of a hopeless task. That dogged instinct to keep on would not let them ston. Of course there were other reasons why they didn't. After 1000 trips which dog Ford counted with a pace tally, in vain did he report, much to the chagrin of the other dogs, the futility of the task. What not even a honest man in our fair city? Away with them to the bottomless pit. But this and more, were in sooth, light compared to the trip across the burning sands in search for the light. Parched throats, pleas for mercy, were of little avail as strokes of oak, pine and other cellulose did rain down upon them. But once, again, did yee dogged instinct enable them to survive, and attain the great beyond. "Tis said, "the dogs stood up and became men."

The discussion topic will be "Is the N.A.A.C.P. Line of Attack Meeting the Needs of the Day?" It is intended that registered delegates from branches of the association will bring to this discussion their experiences in their communities. The discussion is designed to chart, if possible, the reaction of the Negro citizens to recent activities in the field of race relations and to find out what sections of the population are thinking. The association officials declare they are open-minded on methods of procedure and will attempt to hold the discussion to an analysis of methods and not permit it to degenerate into personal mud-slinging. In view of the fact that some people are holding that the N.A.A.C.P. is "too tame" and "too respectable" to meet the needs of the day, while others maintain that it has a sane, constructive policy, the discussion is likely to be one of the high spots of the meeting.

Morrison, of Atlanta, Ga., white, who is associated with Geer and Davis in the Herndon defense, defended the croppers. Notice of appeal was immediate filed when the verdict of guilty was brought in. Basis for appeal was laid by the LLLD, attorneys in their motions to quash the indictment and venire on the ground that Negroes were illegally excluded from jury service, in violation of the 14th amendment. Both motions were denied, and exception taken. The LLLD brought forward six witnesses to prove the exclusion of more than 2,100 eligible Negroes from Tallapoosa county jury rolls.

Urban League Officials Confer With U.S. Secretary of Labor Present Evidence of Discrimination Noted by Director Hill in Many Communities; Miss Perkins Expresses Interest, Promises Action NEW YORK—In an effort to procure assurance that Negroes will not be discriminated against in the efforts being put forth by the Federal authorities to relieve further unemployment and distress, Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary, and T.

She stated that she would do all in her power to remove any discrimination shown in activities over which she has authority and would make every effort to carry out the requests made for additional Negro personnel. She reminded Mr. Jones and Mr. Hill that the law establishing the reforestation camps provided that there be no discrimination on account of race, color or creed, and that this provision had been stressed in her conference with representatives of her office who have charge of recruiting the un-employed. INTERNATIONAL YOUTH CONFERENCE TO MEET IN CHICAGO JUNE 20 CHICAGO, Ill.-The International Negro Youth Conference, with headquarters at 3763 South Wabash Avenue, this city, has broadcast a call for the meeting of the conference here, June 20 to 23, at Good Shepherd Congregational Church, 5700 Prairie Avenue. The primary purpose of the conference as stated in the call is to make a start toward the unification of Negro youth of the world in order that they may carry on concerted action in solving the problems that confront the black race. After enumerating various burdens and disabilities under which black folk labor in America, Haiti, Liberia, South America, the West Indies and elsewhere, the call states: "The problems which confront the black race will not be solved until Negro youths realize that concerted action is of immediate and utmost importance. Evidence of the beginning of such a realization is at hand. Young men and women of the black race are already becoming organized. Clubs are being formed, leagues are being established, conferences are being held, but an international organization to embrace all Negro youths is necessary." Any group of Negro Youth workers' organizations, student clubs, civic clubs, fraternities, sororities, and unorganized Negro youths may elect delegates to the conference on the basis of one delegate for every ten members. Interested organizations should communicate with the committee. Among names enumerated on the committee are George S. Schuyler, journalist, New York; Thomas W. Turner, head of the department of biology, Hampton Institute; James W. Ford, candidate for vice-president on Communist ticket in 1932, William Pickens, field secretary, N.A.A.C.P.; Donald Henderson, executive secretary, National Student League; and many other prominent persons. Ohio Representative's Bill Would End University Jim Crow Practices COLUMBUS, Ohio.-A. bill to amend the Ohio laws relative to the powers of the board of trustees of Ohio State University so as to prevent any race segregation or discrimination whatsoever at the school, was introduced May 15 by Representative Chester K. Gillespie of Cuyahoga county (Cleveland). The bill states: "The board of trustees may adopt by-laws, rules and regulations for the government of the university, provided, however, that no by-law, rule or regulation based upon the race, color or creed of a student or students may be adopted. Every student at the university, regardless of race, color or creed shall be afforded all the opportunities, of the university whether they are educational or social." Mr. Gillespie's bill is the direct result of the treatment of Miss Doris Weaver, Cleveland student at the university, who was denied admission to the home, management practice cottage on the campus. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DIRECTOR TELLS OF HEALTH WORK Dr. Rebecca Stoneroad, white, and Miss Anita Turner, physical education director of the Washington public schools, addressed the board of directors of the association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis last Monday on the present status of the child health work in the schools and its results. After hearing these talks, the board directed its child education committee to confer with the public school authorities as to ways and means of closer co-operation in health work between the association and the schools. Dr. Stoneroad told of the new plan adopted this year for enlisting the active help of the parents in the homes. This includes a whole page in the pupil's report to parents on health habits, which are enumerated and on which a rating is indicated by the teacher. The rating is given to each child on such items as cleanliness, posture, hygiene, weight, etc., with a statement as to gain or loss in weight. Another page is devoted to character traits such as self-control, team-work, courtesy, industry and initiative, also with rating. Both speakers paid tribute to the original work of the association in former years when the health crusade was organized in the schools and when nutrition clinics were operated by the workers of the association, all of which work preceded the adoption of the present system. The Clinic Idea Miss Turner explained that "In connection with the early diagnosis campaign, a letter is sent to the principals asking them to select any child that is in need of immediate attention, it may be from mal-nutrition or any disease. After these children have been selected, it has been the policy to have certain sections of the city carry on a sort of clinic. Last year we had about a dozen or more centers. Among the children we had any number who more found to have tuberculosis." She cited an example as follows: "A child in the Mott School was selected by the teacher as needing special attention. The child was found to be infected, and was reported to the tuberculosis association. A worker went into the home. There were five other children. They were examined and all were found to be infected. The parents got a quart of milk for each child daily. They also had a room for each child. I don't know about the recovery, but they are looking very much better." Civic Asso. Asks Board to Name Building for James F. Bundy The East Central Civic Association has written a letter to the board of education asking the board to name the next public school building allotted to Negroes, after the late James Frank Bundy, an attorney, who served as secretary-treasurer for the Howard Law School for 25 years, most of the time without pay. Mr. Bundy also served six years as a trustee for the public schools of the District before the present plan for membership of the board of education was adapted. He was a valuable citizen and served in civic and educational advancements. He lived at 403 O Street, Northwest, where his widow, Mrs. Delilah Bundy, now resides. Metropolitan Life Has Jim Crow Detroit Office NEW YORK—Additional information on the extent of the jim crow offices of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company is coming in to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, almost daily. The latest information is from Detroit, Mich., where it is reported that colored policyholders are required to go to the fourth floor of the Randolph Building, 1306 Randolph Street, to transact, business. Only colored people are accommodated at this office. Previous complaints on these separate offices have come from St. Louis, Mo., Cleveland, O., Chicago, Ill., Jersey City, N.J., and Philadelphia, Pa. K. C. Einger, appurintendent of agencies, at the home office in New York, has stated to the N.A.A.C.P. that the office policy is maintained for the "best interests and convenience of all Metropolitan policyholders." He is referring to local superintendents of agencies all complaints in their territories. The N.A.A.C.P. urges colored people to protest to their local offices and to object to paying at a jim crow office or window, and to write protests to Mr. Einger at No.1 Madison Avenue, New York City.

BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE BALD SPOTS CURE If bald spots are coming in your head because of dandruff, try this simple and sure remedy: Make a paste of sulphur and olive oil, massage this into the hair, leave it on one hour, then saturate the scalp with olive or mineral oil, after which, shampoo it. Be sure to use the oil before shampooing or the sulphur will not be removed. Repeat this treatment three times a week. MEAL AND BUTTERMILK BLEACH A simple country girl famed her her lovely skin, discovered this simple secret: Make a thin paste of yellow corn meal and buttermilk and spread it on cheese cloth from which openings are cut for eyes, nose and mouth and lay this over the face. Keep it moist with more buttermilk for half a hour, then rinse the face with ice water and pat it with cold cream. Your skin will be fair and fine after a few weeks of this treatment THE PART IN THE HAIR Some women, wear the part in the hair in the very same place throughout a lifetime. The result is that the hair becomes thin over the part-line and never thickens there again. Try changing the part and you will not only save your hear but it will perhaps, be more becoming to you. THE VINEGAR RINSE Nothing so thoroughly removes the grease from the hair as a vinegar rinse. It also leaves the hair with a silky gloss. Use three tablespoons of vinegar to one glass of cool water. This vinegar rinse follows the regular rinse and it is then followed by another clear cool water rinse. THREE WAYS OF EGG BEAUTIFYING There are three ways of using one egg to bring both health and beauty. Use the yolk, beaten with orange juice, as a drink for a body and beauty builder. Use half of the white mixed with your coffee grounds to make clear coffee and the other half as an astringent tonic for the face. FOR PIMPLES AND ROUGH SKIN All women desire a smooth fine skin, free from pimples and blemishes and many despair because they find no remedy therefor. I give you a very simple as well as wonderful one. Try this: 1 cup ordinary corn meal ½ cup powdered soap (castile) ¼ cup powdered pumice Rub the body with this (well mixed) on the bath brush and you will be delighted with results. Use twice weekly. FOR TIRED EYES To relax that tired, strained look about the eyes, try this simple remedy: Have a basin of hot salt water and some cotton pads. Lie down in a dark room and squeeze most of the water from pads and lay over the eyes, changing when they cool for 15 minutes. Then cold cream the eyes and follow with skin tonic. Your eyes will look fresh and lovely and perfectly rested. Try this the next time your eyes show fatigue.

RECEIVES $15,000 THROUGH TWO BEQUESTS Mrs. Anna Kingan and Miss Frances Young Leave Funds by Wills The Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. was the recipient last week of a total of $15,000 left to it by two sisters, white, who died several years ago. By the will of Mrs. Anna M. Kingan, of Chevy Chase, Maryland, $10,000 was bequeathed "absolutely to the Young Men's Christian Association of the City of Washington, District of Columbia, the same to be used by its board of managers for the objects and purposes of said association and specifically in connection with its branch having charge of the work among colored men." Miss Frances Young, a sister of Mrs. Kingan, left to the Twelfth Street branch the sum of $5,000 to become available upon the death of her sister, Miss Marian Young. Miss Marian Young died recently and the money was made available to the Twelfth Street branch. Building to be Renovated The completion of these much-needed renovations is expected to make the Twelfth Street branch one of the most beautiful and best equipped associations for colored men and boys in the country. It is expected that the work will begin within a few weeks. No Increase in Membership Rates Major Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the branch, has announced that no increase in membership rates is contemplated on account of increased facilities in the association. Although the present membership is over one thousand men and boys, it is expected, said Major Johnson, that with the newly renovated and equipped building as a lure the membership will be more than doubled by fall. Dr. W. O. Claytor and Captain Eugene Davidson are chairman and secretary of the committee of management, respectively. Miss Joanna R. Houston Final Speaker for the Mu-So-Lit Club Forum The Mu-So-Lit Club brought its forum season to a close last Sunday with an address by Miss Joanna R. Houston, assistant dean of women of Howard University. This is the second time Miss Houston has closed the forum season, she being the final speaker for last year. Miss Houston discussed the subject, "Educating the Young Negro for a Future Career." She laid great stress upon character education as being fundamental in the training of youth. Miss Sadie I. Daniel, teacher of history at the Miner Teachers' College, introduced the speaker. Miss Daniel's remarks were brief yet they proved her to be a resourceful and ready 'speaker.' Miss Ruth L. Cave, teacher of French at the Dunbar High School, opened the general discussion with a few well chosen remarks that paved the way for a lively discussion of Miss Houston's address. Others taking part in the discussion were Mrs. Ruth W. Hornsby, Wm. S. Bester and Dr. Wm. J. Howard. A musical program under the direction of Mrs. Edward T. Ford was rendered. Those taking part were Miss Joy Wallace, pianist, and Napoleon Wooten, violinist. Several selections were rendered by a new orchestra group that is being developed by George W. Jones. A. Langston Taylor is chairman of the forum. "Treatment of Negro Is Shameful," Says Church NEW YORK.-Declaring that "treatment of Negro citizens almost everywhere in America brings us all to shame," the executive committee of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America said Sunday that "interracial understanding and goodwill have been further jeopardized" by the Scottsboro case. In a public statement on the Scottsboro case, the executive committee of the Church Federation said in part: "We have viewed with growing concern the developments, attend- ment upon the Scottboro case recently brought again to public attention. Interracial understanding and good will have been further jeopardized and hatred and mis- understanding have been increased. This situation is so crucial that the churche should express their convictions in no uncertain terms." Charles Drew Graduates With Honors from McGill University Charles Drew, of Washington, will graduate from McGill University, Montreal, Canada, this week with honors. Drew, who is a graduate of Dunbar High School, was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honorary medical fraternity at the end of his third year. This is the highest honor an undergraduate in medicine can win and he was one of three winning such an award. He was granted a Rosenwald scholarship in his fourth year, and is graduating Magna Cum Laude with the degrees of M.D. and master of surgery. He was an honor student the five years he has been at McGill. At Dunbar, where he graduated in 1922, he was awarded the James E. Walker Memorial Medal for the best all-round athlete and scholar and a scholarship to Amherst College in 1923. At Amherst he was an honor student in mathematics and winner of the Cobb Pentathlon trophy for the best all round track athlete. This trophy was successfully defended the three remaining years he was at Amherst. In 1924 he was selected at end on the football team and was high point man in track. He missed the Olympics team in high hurdles by one point in the finals at Harvard Stadium. In 1925-26 he was selected on the All Eastern football team and received honorable mention on the All-American. He entered McGill in 1928 and was the only American Negro in the school of medicine. While there he was high point man in Canadian intercollegiate track for four years and held the championship in high hurdles, high jump broad jump and shot put. He was captain of the Intercollegiate Track Champions in 1931. As a coach at Morgan College in 1926-28, he turned out championship teams in every sport. In recent years during the summer Drew was director at the Francis Swimming Pool and has fostered the first official A.A.U. swimming meet in the District. HONOR TO PETER SALEM JUNE 18 National Day of Prayer for Scottsboro Boys is Urged BOSTON, Mass.-Stressing the tactical advantages of annually celebrating the anniversaries of great national events in which colored Americans were important characters, thus causing the people to know and realize the considerable service to country by our race, and therefore the gross injustice of denial of rights and protection, the National Equal Rights League has issued its final 1933 "Peter Salem Day" appeal. The observance is in honor of Peter Salem, the battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775, and the other colored soldiers whose valiant fighting is a matter of record in this first pitched battle of the War for American Independence. "From Bunker Hill to Scottboro" is suggested as the general topic for the celebrations, on Sunday, June 18 (the 17th this year falling on Saturday), to call public attention to the contrast between the race's patriotic service from the country's beginning until now with the gross injustices still perpetrated as represented by the contemplated wholesale legal lynching in the Scottboro cases. The League also urges that this "Peter Salem Sunday" be a national day of prayer for the lives of the Scottboro colorel lads, with special prayers in all the colored churches and at every public meeting, as well as at every Peter Salem celebration, which celebrations branch league, civic, fraternal, literary, race defense and other race bodies are urged to hold everywhere, those in a given community consolidating in a union meeting where feasible. The call is signed by M. W. Speu- cer, of Washington, president; Bishop W. J. Walls, of Chicago, vice-president; and Wm. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, secretary, who will furnish data on the colored soldier upon request. Marion Anderson Pleases Audience in Recital at Shiloh Baptist Church In her recital at the Shiloh Baptist Church, Thursday night, Marrian Anderson, Columbia broadcasting contralto, gave a fine demonstration of the excellent range of voice when she sang the aria, "Oh, My Heart is Weary," from "Nadeshda," by Thomas. Range, volume and control are hers with dignity and ease. The most impressive part of her program was the joy with which she sings and the ease with which the matchless notes flow forth. The church was comfortably filled with a number of white people present. The program had three numbers in Italian, five in German, and nine in English, including four spirituals and there were three encore numbers. In the fourth series she substituted "He Loves Me So" for "Blow, Thou Wintry Wind" and as an encoфе sign "Halleluiah." One of the four spirituals was "I Carne Stay Away," as arranged by Roland Hayes. Miss Anderson was accompanied at the piano by William King. The concert was given under the auspices of the general anniversary committee of the church. Scottsboro Has Developed a World Wide Ground-Swell Movement Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard Law School, spoke before an enthusiastic audience at Lincoln Temple Congregational Church last Sunday afternoon on the far-reaching social phases of the Scottsboro case. Characterizing the consolidation of world opinion behind the effort to free these boys as a "groundswell movement," the speaker cited example after example to prove his point. He pointed to the recent demand of a Negro youth in North Carolina for admission to the State University, with the resultant legal embarrassment to the state. He stated that two Negro lawyers have been retained by the LL.D. to defend two white women in Atlanta, charged with inciting Negroes to riot. Referring again to the Scottboro case, Mr. Houston disclosed that the crux of the situation resolved itself into a class struggle—white and Negro workers on the one hand, and the ruling classes on the other. He exhibited Scottboro protest meeting placards, printed in French, German, Russian, Polish, and Dutch, which brought home to the audience the world-wide significance of the Scottboro case, and the importance attached to it by the working classes the world over. George B. Murphy, Jr., president of the local branch of the Scottboro Action Committee, presided. Miss Sophie Minkin (white) of George Washington University and secretary of the committee, explained the aims and achievements of the action committee. Miss Frye Crowned Queen at Howard's May Day Festival The women of Howard University held their Annual May Festival on the new terrace in front of Main Building on Thursday afternoon, May 18. Miss Elizabeth Flye, attended by sixteen Grecian maidens, was crowned Queen of the May. Graceful dances created by the women students were performed for the entertainment of the queen. Races and other Grecian sports were translated into aesthetic events. The final race was run by Milanion for the hand of Atalanta. The chorus sang the Athenian Festival Song "Eiresione" as processional and recessional. Other musical numbers were "It Is Not Always May" and "By the Bend of the River." The setting for the festival was ideal—the fountain and the winds giving just the festive and the Grecian background that was needed to make the picture a perfect one. The success of the festival is due Miss Russell Lightfoot, chairman of the committee on arrangements, and her associates, Misses Hazel Bruce Katrina Butler, Elsie Cain, Aline Kean, Lorella Murray, Alma Parks, Lorraine Robbins, Vivian Simpers and Kathryn Taylor. The costumes sand accessories were designed and made under the direction of Miss Lois Jones of the art department and Mrs. Madeline Kirkland of the home economics department. The chorue was directed by Miss Carolyn Grant of the music department. Members of Miss Gertrude McBrown's dancing class were the flower girls. The festival was sponsored by the Women's League under the direction of the assistants in the department of the dean of women. AUTOS INJURE FIVE ON SABBATH DAY Struck by automobiles or riding in machines which figured in accidents, five persons were given emergency hospital treatment for their injuries Sunday. Mrs. Mary Graham, 50, of 206 I Street, Southwest, was given a severe shock but escaped with a shaking up when struck at Vermont Avenue and U Streets, Northwest. A hit-and-run driver struck William Hanson, 28, of 1524 Swann Street, in front of the Cathedral Mansion, causing lacerations of the right forehead. Richard Johnson, 22, of Rosaryville, Md., who was in an automobile accident on the highway between Marlboro and Baltimore, received a fracture of the right collar bone. Girl. 5: Jolted Little Gloria White, 5, of 1320 W Street, Northwest, was severely jolted when she was thrown against the seat of the automobile in which she was riding. Robert Wood, 611 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, was the driver of the machine.

Va.—Due to the fact that there will be no summer school at Howard University this summer, West Virginia State College expects an unusually large enrollment at its summer session. West Virginia State College maintains a nine-week summer term so administered as to form an integral part of the school year. In its organization, the college has adopted the standards of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary School of which it is a member. Especial emphasis is placed on courses in education for prospective teachers and teachers-in-service. The college is familiar with the requirements for teacher certificates in all the states and is able to advise intelligently concerning the obtaining and renewing of teaching licenses. Fundamental and advanced courses are offered for students who are candidates for the baccalaureate degrees. The college has just completed arrangements with the Central Passenger Association, which controls the various railroad lines throughout this country, whereby all students attending the summer session will be given reduced rates. The costs of the summer session is very low, and many other advantages make West Virginia State College an ideal place for summer study. Jas. Weldon Johnson Hampton Institute Speaker By George Adrian Kuyper HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. Asserting that "America can actually have no more democracy than it accords and guarantees to the humblest and weakest of its citizens," Dr. James Weldon Johnson, in his commencement oration at Hampton Institute here, declared that whatever progress has been made by the Negro race has been due to the fact that "educational institutions were established in the South, in the midst of the mass of the Negro race." He further stated that the main work of the Negro college is the task of "creating, from within, intellectual leadership for a group so isolated that it must, lacking that sort of leadership, remain leaderless." The race "problem" is not static, asserted Dr. Johnson, but might be defined as "a series of shifting interracial situations, which demand changes in the approach to the question, and in the means and methods of dealing with it." Dr. Johnson declared that the task of Negro colleges today is threefold: the general education of Negro youth, the special preparation to fit Negro youth for the special requirements, and problems awaiting them; the education of white people. In concluding his speech Dr. Johnson, said he could give the graduating classes "only three platitudinous words: industry, intelligence, uprightness." Three candidates received the degree of Master of Arts: Edward R. Archer, of Norfolk, Va., Joshua G. Cox, of Norfolk, Va., and Estelle B. Jones, of Gainesville, Florida. The degree of Bachelor of Science was conferred by President Arthur Howe upon 126 candidates. Twenty-five candidates completed the two-year normal course in the School of Education, while forty-three candidates received diplomas from the trades school. Commencement exercises were brought to a close with the bi-annual meeting of the Hampton Institute Alumni Association. Virginia State College Entertains Governor By G. G. Singleton Fully three thousand people crowded into the Virginia State College gymnasium last Sunday to hear the annual sacred concert in honor of the Governor of Virginia, and to hear the Governor himself speak words of praise for the president of the institution, director of the choral society, soloists, pianist, and the singers themselves. In presenting Governor John Garland Pollard to the audience, President John M. Gandy told briefly of the history and purpose of the annual sacred concert, stating that "while originally it was inaugurated to acquaint certain members of the State Legislature with the existence of Virginia State College, it now has grown tremendously in its appeal and acquired an inter-racial aspect. A better felling between the races is gained by such contact as this event affords." Although the Governor did not come to speak, he did not hesitate to respond to President Gandy's invitation to say a few words. Praising the choral society, the Governor said "The harmony of this occasion is so beautiful and the rhythm so complete that I should not attempt to make a speech." Describing the music as superb he expressed his gratitude to the president for the honor thus conferred upon him. "The people of Virginia are proud of this institution," said the Governor. "Though I am soon to go out of office I want you to know that I am your friend. I want the people to recognize the good work your college is doing and to support it to the full extent of their ability." The presentation of the Governor's Day program was the second major event in the commencement program which makes the close of the fifteenth academic year of Virginia State College. Other events are: Friday, 2, Anniversary exercises of Training School; 8:00—Demonstration.

Most of this money was earned during the summer or through the school term by holding such jobs as farmhands, canners, firemen, cooks, cleaners, chauffeurs, etc. Only two in the 'cass never had jobs. The greatest earner was Vivian Evans, who was paid $1,001.80 in seven years and was entirely self-supporting for three. Lewis White came next with $789.92, and "was on his own" for four years. Mrs. "Jay Bee" Davidson, of Elmwood, formerly Miss E. Louise Browne, was a week-end guest of Miss Ross. Mr. "Jay Bee" did a series of crayon sketches at the Osbon Literary on Friday night. Mrs. Davidson taught here in 1923-24 and 1925-26. The academic teachers at their May meeting decided to award a $50 scholarship again to a deserving student whose character and scholarship are praiseworthy. This will mark the second time this honor has been offered by the group. Last year's scholarship was won by Alfred Webster. Bordentown School Dairy on Holstein "Honor List" BORDENTOWN, N.J. — Additional honors came to the Bordentown School dairy farm this week with announcement b. the Holstein-Friesian Association of America of its "Honor List" for New Jersey breeders. The Bordentown Manual Training School was one of six Jersey breeders to be placed on the list sent out from New York headquarters for the year 1932. A junior two-year-old Holstein cow. "Winterthur. Great Segis Kava," received the individual recognition with a milking record of 3988 quarts of milk and 423 pounds of butter fat in 305 days. The milk had an average test of 4.2 per cent butter fat and the cow ranked fourteenth in her class.

South African Educator Tells of Basutoland Schools TUSKEEGE INSTITUTE, Ala. —African educators, Mr. and Mrs. Ossivein B. Bull, of the Lerotholi Technical School, Masuren, Basutoland, South Africa, have been guests of Tuskegee Institute for three days. Mr. Bull, who is director of technical education at Lerotholi, was especially interested in the work of the agricultural department and the extension work which heads up at Tuskegee Institute. The public schools of Basutoland, between 1500 and 1600, are all mission schools. Thirty-eight per cent of the children are in school for a minimum of 160 days. The school year is 180 days. Seven dollars a year tax is paid into the treasury of the county by every adult male. By request $2.00 of this money goes solely for education even though the largest per cent of the remaining $5.00 is also used for education. The payment of this tax entitles each family to police protection, schooling and medical care, including hospitalization. All teachers in the grades are native blacks. The staff of the teacher training schools are equally proportioned between white and black. No white man may own land in Basutoland, which is governed by native chiefs, but is under the British protectorate. It is a semi-independent country and means no money advantage to great Britain. Widow Gets Mate's Money; Other Woman Gets Nothing LOS ANGELES.—Attorney Curtis C. Taylor was the victor in a court battle here last week when a judge on the superior bench awarded the $1200 estate of Jordan Hill to the latter's widow, Laura, after the jurist held the case under advisement for over three months. Hill was a member of the 10th Cavalry in the United States Army in 1914, and at that time he and Mrs. Hill were married at Fort Huachuca, New Mexico. They later came to Los Angeles, and in 1930 a woman named Virginia Majors came to their door asking for something to eat. The Hills took her in and later the couple separated. Miss Majors remained at the house and Mrs. Hill returned to Texas, her home state. In 1932 Hill died, and Miss Majors attempted to secure possession of all of the dead man's effects. Mrs. Hill learned of the death and hurried back to Los Angeles. When she was advised of Miss Major's actions, she obtained the services of Attorney Taylor, who successfully fought the case. Mr. Taylor is a graduate from Howard University Law School and for the last six years has been practicing law in this state.

In the 18 months since the setting up of a Central Registration Bureau for the Homeless at South Ferry, as the co-operative project of practically all the organizations helping homeless men, some 90,000 have been registered. New registrations, the Welfare Council says, have decreased from an average of 149 per day in January to an average of 100 per day in March. Answering the question "Who are these homeless men?" George Hallwash, director of the Central Registration Bureau, said in his report to the Welfare Council: "85 to 90 out of 100 are white, citizens, and residents of New York State; 63 out of 100 have had no employment in a year or more; 40 per cent are Protestants, 50 per cent Catholics and the rest of Jewish and all other faiths; 62 of every 100 homeless men are native-born; practically all occupations are represented, with unskilled labor predominating, skilled workmen appearing in increasing numbers, and a sprinkling of every profession being present; in the matter of age, 7 per cent are just boys; 21 per cent are in their twenties; 52 per cent are in the prime of life, 30 to 50, and 20 per cent are over 50 years of age." The facilities for caring for homeless men, the report shows, have been adequate, except in two respects; there are no suitable places for the convalescence of homeless men who have been seriously sick and there is great need of clothing for the homeless.

Dr. DuBois to Speak at Fisk Alumni Reunion NASHVILLE. Tenn. — Monday, June 12, will be taken up with a meeting of the executive committee of the Fisk University general alumni association. Tuesday, June 13, is the day set aside for the alumni. In the morning, the regular meeting of the association will be held, with the president, Dr. St. Elmo Brady, presiding. In the afternoon at 2 o'clock, the faculty-alumni baseball game will be played on Livingstone Campus. At 5:30, the alumni dinner will be held in Juubilee Dining Hall.

On Tuesday night the open meeting of the association will be addressed by a distinguished alumnus, Dr. William E. B. DuBois. Dr. DuBois, who celebrates his forty-fifth anniversary of graduation from Fisk, is one of the most prominent Negroes in America today. A daring champion for social, political and economic equality for the Negro, he has been editor of the Crisis since 1910. This year in addition to his work on the Crisis he has been guest professor at Atlanta University, where he formerly taught from 1896 to 1914. Max Yergan, the commencement speaker, is a graduate of Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C. His work as a representative of the Young Men's Christian Association among the natives of South Africa has won world wide recognition. During the eleven years he has been in Africa he has done more than any one else to help 5,000,000 natives adjust themselves to an entirely different culture and civilization suddenly thrust upon them by 1,500,000 whites. He was designated a few weeks ago as the winner of the Spingarn-Medal, which he will receive this month at the annual meeting of the N.A.A.C.P. in Chicago. N.A.A.C.P.

Contributions have come from churches, societies and individuals from many points, but much more will be needed. RIVALRY KEEN AS THREE SCHOOLS POINT FOR ANNUAL DRILL BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SECOND SECTION Washington at Random by George T. Waugh AND SO, FAREWELL College days quickly pass, imbued with memories fond. And the recollection slowly fades away— Thus another school year comes to a close with a sad diminuendo and again the time to part is come. To the college graduate—the cross roads, the time for each to choose his separate path that in due season will lead him to his destiny. Oh! would that one could stay the march of time, but 'ere we are Fate takes us by the hand as little children and leads us merilily about this strange business—Life, to what some call success, to others failure. One looks back over time and in that vast procession of caps and gowns one sees the graduates of yesteryears—some who have ventured on before into the purple vale, others who have made indelible designs upon the tapestry of life, that stand out to guide us as a lighthouse in the dark. There will be baccalaureate sermons, and commencement addresses that will attempt to give us courage, lest in utter disillusionment we fall by the way. And as we greet the new, still exuberant with the echoes of farewell, may we find an anchor of hope in the German parting gesture "Lebecwohl." To live well and to enjoy life at its fullest, one must be relatively happy, and as health is the basis of happiness so then is the basis of health—action. THEY, TOO, HAVE SERVED Between the purliues of staid, aristocratic Georgetown, and the purliues of fashionable Rock Creek Park, lies Mt. Zion, a very old but now deserted Negro burying ground. Here, I am told, sleep the progenitors of many of Washington's sepia first families. Mt. Zion, an unweeded garden of crumbling ruin and utter desolation stands so pathetically apart, yet surrounded on all sides by ultra-modern apartment houses, sedate homes, and life going so complacently on its way. I roam in elegiac pensiveness over forgotten foot-paths reading epitaphs on toppling tomb-stones, and upon one I read the half obliterated inscription, "Died 1825." More than a century of peace they sleep there, and the waters of the Rock Creek flow serenely by, its musical ripples playing a requiem to the dead. At dusk, tenants of the apartment houses, who's back yards overlook the quiet little cemetery, see the tumbling monuments dance as weird and fantastical shadows against the evening sky. THE OPEN ROAD With the closing of school and the advent of warmer days the desire to escape becomes acute. To escape the humdum of narrow circles, stale conversations—the tiresome routine of class rooms and books grow upon one like a moral arteriosclerosis. To change our landscape entirely and to fill our minds with new thoughts of people and places, the adventurous soul must go out and away—to see what else there is—to see how far life will take him if he dare to go. And thus the restlessness in the youth of today. The seashore and the mountain retreat beckons and the vagabond foot aches for the open trail. Parents should try to understand that a life to be a useful one must be lived to the utmost—to know that things exist because one has actually experienced them. The world is fed up on fakes and is tired of watching grandstand gestures. A second-hand imitation of life will not come half way to the original. This summer, a new world opens for him who will venture forth, and if our own back yards do not yield an "around the corner lure" then greener pastures are ours for the seeking. THE SONG IS ENDED With the Alpha dance on last Friday night, and the senior prom on the Hill this week-end, the swan song is sung that officially closes a very gay social season; and as the crowd goes about its way—some in search of more exciting diversion, others to hard honest work—the melody of the song lingers on. We have all laughed, even though at times our laughter was a trifle hollow and mocking, yet laughter it was—and so auf Wiedersheen we will meet again and dance the dance of life together. WOMAN STABBED IN CHEST Mrs. Bertha Leeper, 26, of 1237 Seventh Street, Northwest, was taken to the Freedman's Hospital at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, suffering a stab wound in the left chest inflicted by her husband, Herman, according to hospital records. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE ON'S CAPITAL KEEN AS TH TEACHERS' UNION REELECTS OFFICERS Affiliated with Nat'l Federation and A.F. of L.; Hears Appeal for National Bank At the annual business meeting of the Washington Teachers' Union, Local 27, held May 23, at the Phyllis Wheatley branch of the Y.W.C.A., a review of the activities of the year by the president, Mrs. Mary M. Jones, showed vital interest of the union not only in problems of the teachers, but of the community in general. Mindful of the need of school children for clothing, the union at the beginning of the school year through the proceeds of a rummage sale helped equip a number of pupils and at the same time donated materials to the Croome Settlement School, Croome, Md. New Rating Sheet Studied Through a special committee, a study of the proposed new rating sheet for teachers has been made, followed by suggestions to the Teachers' Advisory Council, which is studying the same problem. The union has also urged the school administration to preserve the standing of those teachers who are eligible for application for Group B, but for which no examinations have been held this year. The local has co-operated with various civic organizations in protesting against all unnecessary cuts in the school budget and attended the hearing before the Senate sub-committee on appropriations on this matter. Likewise the group has brought to the attention of the President of the United States the alarming conditions of education, especially in the South, and has urged him to give serious consideration to the question. Belongs to National Federation The union has kept up its affiliation with the American Federation of Teachers as well as with the Central Labor Union of this city, to which Mrs. M. M. Jones, Mrs. E. J. Jackson, legislative chairman, and Don Goodl e are delegates. At the annual convention of the American Federation to be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June 25 to 30, the local will be represented by its president, Mrs. Jones. Local Has Grown The report of the committee on membership, Mrs. Bertha M. Clarke, chairman, revealed an increased enrollment of teachers during the year. The plan of building the organization and of publicity concerning the necessity of a teachers' union accounts for the more active interest of teachers in the union. Those members attending the annual supper meeting of Local 27, on March 30, caught the spirit of the union. At this time Edward McGrady, legislative representative of the A.F. of L., and Miss Selma Borchardt, legal representative of the A.F. of L., as well as representatives of Local 27, made pertinent remarks. Officers Re-elected The business of the evening closed with the unanimous re-election of the following officers: Mrs. Mary M. Jones, president; Mrs. Bertha M. Clarke, vice-president; Miss Linnie R. Smith, secretary; Mrs. E. R. Lee, treasurer. Committee chairman were named as follows: program, Mrs. E. B. King; membership, Mrs. B. M. Clarke; legislative, Mrs. E. J. Jackson; finance, Miss Linnie R. Smith; publicity, Miss J. P. Howard. Later in the evening Professor Jessie C. Lewis, head of commercial department. Howard University, explained clearly to the group the plan of establishing a Negro national bank in the District of Columbia as a nucleus. Tracing the historical significance of the Industrial Savings Bank, Mr. Lewis made an appeal for the support of this new business venture, the Negro national bank of Washington. Chicago Attorney and Washington Newspaper Man to Debate "Can the Negro Expect Prosperity with President Roosevelt?" is the subject of a debate to be held Thursday night, June 8, at Mt.

COUPLE FREED OF FALSE ALARM CHARGES Cop Claims He Knew Woman Two Blocks Away by Bracelet Charged with turning in a false alarm, Samuel Queenan and Bertha Campbell were released by Judge John P. McMahon. Tuesday, following verbal tilts between defending counsel, Armond W. Scott, and the complaining officer. The couple were haled into court on May 16, the arresting officer claiming that he saw them standing near a fire box after an alarm had been sent in and arrested them. The officer also declared that another witness told him he had seen the woman break the glass and turn in the alarm. On cross examination by Mr. Scott, the officer stated he was about two blocks away from the people when he saw the woman break the glass shortly after midnight. He further stated that he could identify the woman because she had a red bracelet on her arm. During the cross examination, the officer asked whether or not he had to answer Mr. Scott's questions and attempted to show resentment. The witness was rebuked by the judge. On the stand Queenan declared that he was in the taxicab business and that he had never been arrested before. He stated that he heard the fire apparatus and out of curiosity had taken the young woman in the direction where the fire appeared to be. His statements that he had never been near the fire box were substantiated by the woman. Mr. Scott also brought out on cross examination that three separate alarms had been turned in after the couple were arrested and a lookout had been sent for a white couple driving a coupe.

TWO STRIKING FLOATS IN BOY PATROL PARADE Slater-LangstonFloat, Made by Atypical Class, Ranked First; Crummell, Second The float made by and representing the Slater-Langston School group on P Street, Northwest, was generally regarded as the best in the parade of the school boy patrol, Saturday. The parade composed of fourteen divisions, made up of representatives of public and private schools in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, was democratic in its placement of the patrols from the various schools. Six bands and drum corps enlivened the affair with music. One drum corp was made up of girls and one band was from the colored schools of Washington. Little Red School House The float admittedly the best in the parade covered the whole story of the patrol boy. The scene was built around the little red school house, labeled "public school." It was penciled to represent a brick structure. There was the school yard with a grass lawn. Three trees were well placed in the grounds. Sidewalks surrounded the yard with the street in front. There were 18 children advantageously placed. An automobile was approaching a well defined street crossing, made prominent by the white lines across the street. On each corner stood a patrol boy, and a little girl was crossing the street while the automobile was held back by the uplifted hand of the patrol boy. This float was built by the boys of the atypical class at the Slater-Langston schools, under the direction of their teacher, Mrs. M. E. Jones, of 309 T Street, Northwest. The boys laconically said "They Dr. Clarence A. Wright was sentenced to jail for performing illegal operations and his license to practice medicine in the District was revoked by Justice Daniel W.

ALLISON DAVIS NOT HEARD FROM FOR TWO MONTHS Accompanied by Wife Studying in Germany on Oxford Fellowship Word comes from Hampton Institute, Virginia, that Allison W. Davis, of this city, who is an instructor at Hampton, but who for the past year has been studying in Europe, has not been heard from for the past two months. At the time of the latest outbursts of Hitlerism, Mr. and Mrs. Davis were traveling in Germany, but for the past two months it seems they have been swallowed up in that country, as no word has been heard from them by anyone on the campus. Mr. Davis is away on a special fellowship to Oxford University, where he is studying social anthropology. Last year he pursued postgraduate work at Harvard towards his doctor's degree. He was granted a leave of two or three months by the English university in order to visit Berlin and the German provinces in connection with his research. Whereabouts is a Mystery It is not known whether the Davises met harm or embarrassment at the hands of the Nazis. If they were in Berlin or any of the larger cities, the American legation would come to their protection. It is possible, however, that in the height of the race prejudice engendered by the Hitlerites, they might have been detained, or incarcerated, in some out-of-way German province. Mr. Davis is well known among the younger leaders of thought. He has written both verse and prose and has been both lauded and criticized by different schools of thought. He is a graduate of Williams College, Williamstown, Mass., and elected there to Phi Beta Kappa Society. From Williams he went to Harvard. At Hampton he is instructor in literature. In 1931, Mr. Davis and his wife, the former Miss Elizabeth Stubbs daughter of a prominent Wilmington family, were married in the Andrew Rankin Chapel of Howard University by Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson.

HURTS ARM IN FALL In a fall in the street near her home, Mrs. Georgia Price, 28, of 2510 Sixth Street, Northwest, suffered a bruised left arm Friday night. Capital News Service ANNUAL Birney-Garfield Group Hear Dr. Dorothy Ferebee on Parenthood The Birney-Garfield group had its last lecture at Garfield School, May 24, at 8 p.m., sponsored by the College Alumnae Club. The lecturer was Mrs. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee, whose subject was "The Mental Hygiene of Parenthood." In this lecture much stress was laid on the mental attitude which parents should assume in the training of their children. The discussion following the lecture made it quite clear that Mrs. Ferebee had intensely interested and instructed those present. DYING BOY STATED HE WAS SHOVED UNDER TRAIN Witness Tells Coroner's Jury that Boy Lost His Grip BOTH LEGS CUT OFF TO SAVE LIFE Death of "Train Hopper" Is Termed as Being Accidental Three frightened little boys, ranging in ages from 8 to 11 years, pupils of the Giddings school, narrated, Monday, before a coroner's jury, how a series of train "hoppings" resulted in the mangling to death of a playmate under the wheels of freight cars, Thursday afternoon. After probing the death of James Madison Jr., 14, 823 Third Street, Northeast, who died at the Providence Hospital, early Friday morning, the jury brought in a verdict of accidental death. James's mangled right leg had been amputated at the hip in an effort to save his life, while the left was taken off just below the knee. He had been run over at the spur track at First and I Streets, Southeast. Claims He Was Shoved Detective Thomas McVere, attached to the Fourth Precinct, testified that James related before his death that he had been pushed by another boy, causing him to fall under the wheels. Harold Perry, 10, 3B grade, also declared the boy had been shoved. Under cross questioning, the youth stated that a group of boys were hurrying to get off a moving car to pick up some wood, and possibly shoved against the unfortunate lad. Witness Says Hands Slipped James T. Wallace, white, an employee of a nearby firm, was practically an eye witness of the accident. He told of observing the boys riding on the string of eight cars. According to him, James's hands slipped and he fell under the wheels. Charles Sylvester Green, 11, fifth grade pupil, told acting coroner, Dr. H. M. M. McDonald, in part: "I knew James Madison very well. I was playing with him on Thursday afternoon, but I did not see anything happen to him. He had been on the train, but when I first saw him he was sitting down between the rails of the track crying. I rode on a little further until the train slowed up. I got off then and ran to tell James's mother that something had happened to him." Fail to Appear Charles told the examiner that Joseph Forest, 9, third grade pupil, and Harold Perry, Ernest Green, and Thomas Makel had also been on the car before the accident. The latter two had been subpoenaed but did not appear at the hearing. Dr. McDonald requested officers to bring them before him on Wednesday morning to be questioned. Joseph Forest testified that he had first noticed James's sitting in the middle of the track after the train had crushed his legs. "I was riding on the last car," he stated. "I did not see anything happen to him. I jumped off the train when it slowed down to run and tell his mother. I did not see any other boys near him." Got on Moving Train Forest also told of seeing the dead youth on the train while it was moving, and described how the lads had been "catching" trains. Harold Perry told the jury: "James was playing with me Thursday. There were about six of us all together. We went down into the railroad yard and began to pick up wood to carry home." He stated further that it was customary for the boys target wood off the cars, pitch it along side the THEATERS SPORTS PROTESTS EXTRA DRILL TRAINING OF TECH, CARDOZO Cadets from Two Schools are Ordered to Halt Drill During Hours Cardozo and Armstrong High School cadets were called off the field at McMillan Park, Thursday morning, when Franklin Administration officials were told by an anonymous person over the telephone that cadets from the two schools were drilling during school hours. The same person called The Tribune and stated that it was against the regulations of the board of education for students to drill during hours they were supposed to be in classrooms. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, told The Tribune that the same person had called his office and he was conducting an investigation. Later the cadets were ordered back to school. They were under the direction of Captain Arthur Newman and Major York. Board Gave No Permission An investigation by The Tribune disclosed that students are given permission to drill during school hours only by the board of education, and the board had not given permission for a special drill Thursday. Dubar has won the drill seven consecutive years and Dunbar followers are of the opinion that the other two schools were trying to put over a "fast one" in order to get in several extra hours of training. With Cardozo High School making a strong bid for top honors, the forty-first annual competitive drill of the high school cadets will begin next Thursday morning in the American League Park. Cardozo Threat The Cardozo cadets have one of the snappiest outfits this year that the school has ever placed on the field. Heretorefone the competition has been largely between Armstrong and Dunbar, but this year the Clerks will prove a serious threat. Cardozo has been competing as a separate school since June, 1929. The first event will be held at 9 a.m., with Company C of Cardozo taking the field and end in the afternoon with a brigade review. One of the features this year will be a silent exhibition saber drill by officers of the various companies. The silent drill by non-commissioned officers will be held as usual. The Dunbar cadets are organized as the 24th Regiment, consisting of five companies, designated A, B, E, F and G. Armstrong's cadets constitute the 25th Regiment, consisting of five companies—A, B, C, D and E. track, then go back to pick it up. Harold narrated that the boys were in a rush to get off the train before someone stole their wood, and that someone had shoved James. Boys Gave Trouble John S. Dawson, white conductor, declared that there had been some difficulty with boys hopping the trains. He told the jury that he had seen two or three running along side of the cars, Thursday, and that he had attempted to prevent them from getting on. One, he continued, got on, but he did not try to make him get off the moving train. He did not see the accident, but saw the boy after the wheels had passed over him. Wallace, who was the nearest eye witness, stated the boys were playing and throwing off wood about the second or third car from the rear of the train. "I saw the boy disappear," said Wallace; "there was no one near him. I am quite certain that his hands slipped." "No, sir—there's nothing like a wife to bring out all there is in a man." "Right. I sunk one fortune that way." Evangelist Refutes Story About Alleged "Near-Rio t" REV. C. P. DIXON IS IGNORANT OF CHURCH "ROW" Indignant denial of any knowledge of a "near riot" when he was prevented from occupying the pulpit of the Tenth Street Baptist Church by the pastor, the Rev. Alexander Willbanks, recently, has been made in a statement to The Tribune by the Rev. C, P. Dixon, well-known evangelist, popularly called "Black Billy Sunday." The Rev. Mr. Dixon who carries a large following, stressed that he had been invited by the trustees of the church to preach, so that the financial condition of the institution might be aided. The Rev. Mr. Willbanks was in Florida at the time the evangelist acceded to the request of the church board. He returned just prior to the night agreed upon that the Rev. Mr. Dixon was to conduct services. Didn't Leave Auto A statement by the pastor that the Rev. Mr. Dixon would not be allowed to occupy the pulpit was relayed to the latter by members of his own church board. The Rev. Mr. Dixon declared he simply drove up to the church in his automobile, did not alight, and requested his officers to inform the assembly he would preach at his own church, 708 O Street, Northwest, and drove off. "The Rev. Mr. Willbanks was not gentleman enough to notify me officially that he would not permit me to speak in his pulpit," said the evangelist. "If there was any commotion, I know nothing about it." Charges Injury Attempt The Rev. Mr. Dixon was questioned about claims of the Rev. Mr. Willbanks that the latter is the original "Black Billy Sunday," and the charge that he (Mr. Dixon) was not recognized by Baptist organizations. "Such statements as those are meant to harm me," he proceeded. The Rev. Mr. Dixon took no issue as to who was the original, but produced letters showing that he keeps up an intermittent correspondence with the Rev. William Sunday, the original "Billy Sunday." The Rev. Mr. Dixon has the permission of the Rev. William Sunday to use the name. The evangelist strongly resented the intimation that he was not recognized. He has not only addressed the Baptist Ministers' Conference, he says, but has exchanged pulpits with some of the ministers of the leading Baptist churches in the city, including the Mt. Moriah and the McKinley Memorial. He is conducting services in Baltimore this week. Quizzed whether or not it were true as charged by the Rev. Mr. Willbanks that he was taking disgruntled members from other churches, the Rev. Mr. Dixon laughed. "If that is true, it must show that I am preaching the gospel, that the people want," he exclaimed. Miss Burroughs at First Baptist in Warrenton, Va. Last Sunday, the First Baptist Church, Warrenton, Va., observed "Women's Day," in three services. At the morning service the pastor, the Rev. Henry J. Brooks, spoke from the subject, "A Manless Meeting," text "We sat down and talked with the women who were there. He said in part, that women's usefulness is being recognized in our national life. President Roosevelt has broken all precedent. He has placed a woman in his cabinet, a Secretary of Labor, a woman as ambassador to Denmark, and a woman as director of the mint. Woman's usefulness in the home, school and church has always been evident. In 'the manless meeting' by the river side, Paul established his first church in Europe. At three o'clock, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of National Training School for Women and Girls, spoke in her pleasing and convincing way. The burden of her message was, "Giving—Not Money—But, Unselfish Service." She said in part that the most desirable thing in this life cannot be bought. Friendshin, patience, peace, happiness, and love cannot be bought, but come through unselfish service. "What you give you will get, and you will not receive any more than you give," she said. She said that Jesus at the resurrection told the woman to go and tell, and woman has never ceased telling. The junior choir furnished the music for the afternoon service. At night the women of the church rendered the program, and the captains made reports for the spring rally. The senior choir furnished the music at eleven and at eight.

Dean Slowe Points Out Duty of Woman "The confusion in our social order is due to the fact that men and women do not deal justly and honorably and kindly with each other in the spirit of the philosophy of Jesus who we pretend to follow," declared Dean Lucy D. Slowe in an address on the Women's Day program at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church Sunday, night, May 28. Taking as her subject Women's Contribution to the Social Order, Dean Slowe pointed out that it is the special business of women to keep the conscience of the world sensitized to the claims of justice and righteousness. She contended that all the laws on the statue books will be of no avail unless there is behind them worthy men and women. If men and women thought of the value of human beings and less of the value of things, the tworound would be a be better place in which to live.

Williams Tells "Why I Am An Elk"; $100,000 in Property The twenty-ninth annual sermon of Morning Star Lodge was preached Sunday night at Asbury M.E. Church by the pastor, the Rev. Robert M. Williams. His subject was "Why I am an Elk." He took up the five principles of the order and spoke fervently and forcefully upon them. The Rev. Mr. Williams said that the Elk order is the greatest charitable, fraternal order in the world. He spoke of the educational program as an evidence as well as the caring for the sick, burying the dead, and helping the needy and indigent. Speaking of fidelity and loyalty, the speaker said these should be inculcated in the hearts of all the people. He asked this pertinent question, "What is the use of sending your boy to Howard or to some other college and train him for a life work unless you are faithful, and loyal to the race?" He added: "You do not need to send your boy to college to shine shoes after he comes out." Negro Thinks of Heaven He told the story of a white man dying and leaving each member of his family some property or money. He told of a Negro dying and making this one request. "I want you all to meet me in Heaven." Regarding the principle of justice, the minister spoke of the Scottsboro case and said that we need to advocate and practice justice and continue to fight for it on every hand. He quoted Clarence Darrow as saying the Negro seldom gets justice anywhere. He said that if the nine Scottsboro boys had gotten a fair trial, they would be free today. "The Elks must continue to cry out to God for justice in the world," said the speaker. He said the Negro has been doing too much praying and not enough contending for justice. He closed the forty-minute sermon on the principle of brotherly love, quoting "Now abides faith, hope and love, the greatest of these is love." Lodge's History Given In giving the history of Morning Star Lodge, Cortez Peters, financial secretary, said that the lodge was organized May 26, 1904, by William H.

Walker, Speakers "Christian work is worth so much as Christ can speak through us," said Professor Benjamin Brawley, of Howard University, to the Men's Club of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Monday night, at the meeting of the club. He stated that we must lose sight of ourselves and ask, "What does Christ want of me?" He spoke of team work and said when we work with someone else as a team it is infinitely better. In speaking of the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, the pastor of the church, Dr. Brawley said it is hard to describe the value and worth of this absolutely unique pastor. The Rev. George A. Parker, assistant pastor of the church, outlined the service that it is possible for the men's club to render, and suggested that the club buy and present one hundred Bibles to the adult classes of the Sunday School. Hospital Work Urged J. A. G. LuValle suggested the forming of a sick committee to visit the hospitals regularly and comfort the strangers who may be there without friends to visit them. He also suggested the forming of an employment committee by the men's club. The president of the club, John Chapman, suggested that the club have two flower stands built for the rostrum in the main auditorium of the church that will be in keeping with the pulpit furniture. He said that the club was organized about 25 years ago upon the suggestion of Mrs. Mariiah Adams, to do special work for the church. He said that the men have fallen away from the church and this renewed effort of the men's club is to inspire more men to attend church and render some kind of service. Attorney Thomas H. Walker, dean of the colored lawyers here, was present and told of the importance of the lawyer and the service he can render the church and the community.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL THE ADOLESCENT CHILD, SUBJECT OF SEMINAR Physicians, Teachers, Experts Read Papers on Guidance of Children and Youth The first seminar ever held here in the colored schools on the adolescent child was held recently at the Morgan School on V Street, Northwest. It covered such subjects as the health, recreation, guidance and understanding, morality and sex changes. "Adolescent Guidance and Understanding" proved an important topic as discussed and stressed by Dr. Paul J. Ewerhardt, white, director of the child Guidance Clinic," who stressed the factors underlying adolescent problems and what may be accomplished by sympathetic understanding and guidance. He said: "We cannot separate the adolescent from what precedes and what follows this period. Home is the place where we learn to live and adapt ourselves to others and each person in the home is of vital importance in relation to the adolescent child." "When ...e can answer the questions of How did the adolescent get that way?" said the speaker, "we can then start with the problems of the home and the community which affect the child." Study the Child "During the transition stage of the adolescent," said the speaker, "when passing from childhood into adult life, the physical, chemical emotional and mental processes must be taken into consideration. We must be careful of the sex development at this time and the teacher must be patient, resourceful in her effort to understand each child and help with his or her problems." "Adolescent Health" was discussed by Dr. J. Hayden Johnson and Dr. C. A. Tignor. Dr. Johnson stated that most authorities agree that the majority of ailments begin in early childhood and the death rate between 12 and 20 years is alarming, for most of the diseases are preventable. He said the death rate of Negro children in Harlem, between the ages of 14 and 20, is 41 per 100.000. That is far too high, and no race can survive as long as such a high death rate among its children exists. In addition to fresh air, right diet and proper clothes, r. Johnson said that the nose is a very important factor in child health. It should be carefully examined, adenoids removed, sinus kept open, abnormal breathing speedily corrected and the tonsils watched and removed when necessary. Tuberculosis Discussed Dr. Tignor stressed the high rate of tuberculosis and said it is contracted and developed in childhood and the highest death rate occurs between 30 and 45 years. The teen-age, between 13 and 20, is the dangerous period. He said the average child does not get sufficient rest, and the child in school should have 15 hours of rest each day. Nervousness should be carefully considered. Once a child, Dr. Tignor, or any one, for that matter, has a nervous break down, he never gets back to his normal self. He stressed the need of health certificate with each marriage license, stating that every child is entitled to be born well. Miss Ellen Gardner, white, of the U.S. Children's Bureau, brought out many factors in "The Adolescent—With and Without Adequate Recreation." She said that the home is of the first importance to set the standards that should guide and inspire the adolescent child. Once a child gets hold of the wrong kind of recreation, it is hard to break away from it. She said that the recreation program should be made up of fun for 125 minutes after school, 165 minutes can be given to free play. Facilities should include all ball games, tennis, community center programs, church and parish halls, and libraries. Minor Sports Important Attention should be given to minor sports, discussion groups, social affair, picnics, musical and dramatic efforts and above all, hobbies. Every one has the ability to be interested in something. Encourage it. Among the hobbies she named were sketching, poetry, collections of various kinds, scrap book, stamps, flowers, trees, nature study, gardening and what not. Mrs. Mary A.

Price within a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. 1240 7th Street, N.W. stressed self-control for the adolescent. She said that it is important to arrange for social groups to meet at home or for parents to know the places where they meet. H. H. Long, assistant superintendent of schools, spoke on "Guidance Through Education." He stressed development of the rational powers of the adolescent and self-discovery for the child by early learning to accept responsibility. He said children should not be questioned too closely upon questions that one can not check up on. Discussion Groups There were small discussions groups held in the afternoon in different rooms of the building. One group had "Adolescent Guidance," with Miss Mineola Kirkland, supervising principal of division ten, and G. Smith Wormley, principal of Randall Junior High School as speakers. Miss Jennie Mustapha, assistant principal of Cardozo Business High presided. Another group had "The Sex Factor in Adolescent Adjustment," with Ray H. Everett, white, executive secretary of the Social Hygiene Society, and Dr. Elizabeth Kittridge, white, as speakers, with Miss L. C. Randolph, principal of Washington Vocational School, presiding. Mrs. Pelham Speaks One group had "Community Resources for Adolescent," with Miss Sibyl Baker, white, director of playgrounds, and Mrs. E. K. Peoples, white assistant director of community centers, and Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham and Mrs. M. H. Winston, principal Young Platoon School, presiding. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, who was to preside was not present at the opening of the seminar and A. K. Savoy, assistant superintendent, presided. Music was furnished by Mrs. Virginia Quivers and Levington Smith, who sang solos with Roy Tibbs at the piano. Miss Edith Lyons, principal of the Morgan School, and vice president of the Federated Parent-Teacher Associations, under whose auspices this seminar was held, was chairman of the general committee responsible for the program. Colored Veterans Meet President and Wife at Garden Party Colored Veterans Meet President and Wife at Garden Party By Laurence J. W. Hayes Soldiers and sailors of color, some fifty-five or more in number, were entertained by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt last Friday evening. The place being the green White House lawns and the event being the annual White House garden party for the war casualties in the service hospitals around about Washington. Head-butterer Fields, Thomas Roach, Louis S. Myers, John Brown, Harry Mickey, Arthur Brown, Harry Carnell, Bushrod Hutchison, Eugene James, James N. Cox, James Latney, Robert Neal, Walter Tate, Learn Thompson, Albert Burke, and William Bowen—all of whom are colored White House aides on this occasion—saw to it that the fifteen hundred or more veterans had adequate sandwiches, ices and cakes to assist them in enjoying that event. Although the guests assembled promptly at 4 o'clock, it was nearly 5 o'clock before the President could break away from conference with Japan's delegates with whom he had been closed. He came straight from his office clad in a grey summer suit and met Mrs. Roosevelt at the little garden gate. They then took their stand under a great tree with U. S. N. Captain Walter Vernou to make presentations, and an army aide stood nearby. The procession then began. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt gave a warm and friendly greeting to each one. Three colored women were on the 'grounds but none of them wore nurses' uniforms. One of the convalescent colored soldiers wore his overalls. President Roosevelt found a chair under a tree where he sat in conversation with Senator James F. Byrnes, after his guests had been greeted. Some of the cabinet officers who recognized and spoke to some of their colored personnel at the party were Secretary Wallace. Agriculture; Secretary of War Dern; and Secretary Roper. One who witnesses many White House parties now-a-days marvels at the pomp and ceremony which was arranged for the disabled veterans in contrast with the informal parties recently given there. The two colored women mostly in evidence were Mrs. Marion B. Seymour, who is a superior at Freedmen's, Hospital, and Miss Bessie Cobb, who is a Social Service worker, who has charge of the Disabled Veterans at Freedmen's. Randall Wins Playground Ball Ninth Grade Title The final series of playground hall between the ninth grade home room winners in the junior high school was played Tuesday. Randall Junior High School triumphed in the inter-school tournament. The preliminaries recorded victories for Terrell Junior High over Garnet-Patterson, 11-10; Randall over Francis, 6-4; Randall over Shaw, 10-1. The final event brought Randall a 21 to 1 victory over Terrell. Officials were Wedlock, Dr. Cupid and Carter. The entire series resulted in Francis High winning the seventh and eighth grade championship and Randall winning the ninth grade title. Astonishing Negro Hater Suggested to Defend Scottsboro Boys Negro Hater Suggested to Defend Scottsboro Boys GET TOM HEFLIN TO DEFEND THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS! Rub your eyes and read that over again. That amazing suggestion has actually been made—and by a Negro. Writing in the Sunday edition of a local daily newspaper, L. F. Coles, well known in radical circles here and in New York City, advances this startling idea. Coles, like many another Negro, does not want to give the Communists credit for what they have done in this case. He cannot forget his dislike of Communism and the Communists long enough to give them credit for what they have achieved. It was a mistake, it added "mis- tery to insult." to have Jewish law- yers defend Negroes in a Southern court, Mr. Coles asserts; and he would undo the error by rai- ning money to get "the best Southern lawyer who could be had, say ex-Senator Tom Heflin." Of all people, Tom Heflin! Bitter Negro graphobe, hater of Catholics, Ku Klux Klan sympathizer, Jew-baiter. "Those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." One more suggestion like the above from Mr. Coles, and his friends ought to insist on having his head examined. WHITE BAPTISTS, NORTH AND SOUTH, GETTING TOGETHER For the first time since 1845, the Northern and Southern branches of the wwwhite Baptist Church met together here last week and made what is called the first gesture in the uniting of the two widely separated branches. While no united Baptist Church is expected within the next few years, a gradual consolidation, which would affect large economics, is expected some time. In the early forties when the discussion in regard to slavery became acute, there arose the difference which resulted in the two white wings of the Baptist Church; the Northern Convention which now has 7,611 churches and 1,289,966 members; and the Southern Convention with 23,374 churches and 3,524,378 members. Colored Baptist Conventions In 1886 the greater portion of the Negro Baptist churches of the country sent representatives to a meeting in St. Louis, Missouri which meetings organized the National Baptist Convention. In 1915 at the meeting of the National Convention in Chicago, there arose a division in regard to the National Baptist Publishing Board which had been created in 1896. This board withdrew from the National Baptist Convention and was followed by a considerable number of delegates, mostly from the far South, who organized and named their organization the National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated. The census data for 1926 reports 22,081 active Negro Baptist churches with 3,193,623 members. These figures include, the National Baptist Convention, U. S. A., Incorporated; the National Baptist Convention of America, Unincorporated; the Lott-Carey Missionary Society, formerly the Lott-Carey Convention; and a number of independent Negro Baptist churches, which affiliate with the Northern Baptist Convention. Southerners Withdraw The Northern churches were strongly anti-slavery; the Southern churches were; if not always pro-slavery, certainly not anti-slavery. A crisis was reached when the question was raised whether the General Missionary Convention (called also the Triennial Convention, because it met once in three years) would appoint as a missionary a person who owned slaves. To this a very decided negative was returned, and since that involved a denial of what was considered constitutional rights, the Southern churches withdrew in 1845 and formed the Southern Baptist Convention—as an organization for the direction of the missionary and general evangelical work if the Baptist churches of the Southern States. What effect this consolidation will have on the Negro churches connected with the Northern wing is not at present quite clear. Prominent among those churches are the Second Baptist Church of Detroit, Michigan, that sent Mrs. Mattie Grisby Anderson as a delegate to the recent gathering in Washington and the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church of this city, the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor. MRS. ELLA BAILEY Funeral service for Mrs. Ella Bailey were held at Occoquan, Va. last Wednesday. Mrs. Bailey was a retired school teacher and was well known in Washington. She was the wife of the Rev. L. H. Bailey and sister of the late Jennie Dean, founder of the Manassas Industrial School. The survivors are children. Annie E. Carroll, Everett H. Bailey, Manetta H.

Miss Collieri sesses a lyric soprano voice of most exclusively with Mme. Lillie Sang the season with engagements at Drew Universi Brooklyn Tax O Lack of Segreg Says Negroes are Spreading Values are Dropping Him Some NEW YORK—R. Lincoln Bernstein, deputy tax commissioner for the borough of Brooklyn, grew a little sad last week when being interviewed by the New York Herald-Tribune on depreciation in real estate values and decline in tax income. Mr. Bernstein was sad because Negroes have rushed into Brooklyn to the tune of 75,000 and he was sadder still because these Negroes, instead of segregating themselves, have scattered into many areas, and into three big areas. "It is not like Harlem," wailed Mr. Bernstein, "because in Manhattan, most of the Negroes live in a compact section in Harlem. Over here they have moved in everywhere and real estate values are dropping. They have taken over some of our best streets and best apartment houses. Houses that formerly sold for $14,000 they are getting for $7,500. [If this is true it is the only place in the United States where Negroes take over white property at reduced prices—usually the price is hiked 25 to 50 per cent.] Liberal Prof. Let Out at Ohio State Gets Lectureship at Bryn Mawr OBERLIN, Ohio (CNS) — Dr. Herbert A. Miller, of this city, who was dropped from the faculty of Ohio State University two years ago because of his broad views on racial matters, has been appointed a lecturer at Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania. Two years ago, Dr. Miller, then an instructor in sociology at Ohio State, was "let up" by the board of trustees, who refused to renew his contract, because of Dr. Miller's broad racial views and his ex-emplification of them at Wilberforce University upon the occasion of his last sociological study-visit there accompanied by a class of white students from the State University. Some of the students danced with the colored students at Wilberforce and on complaint of the incident, Dr. Miller was dropped. RED CROSS HELPS TO TRAP NEGROES FOR FARMS PEONAGE BIRMNGHAM, Ala. (CNA)—How the Red Cross in this city uses the misery of the starving unemployed to recruit peon labor for white planters, was revealed when a jobless Negro worker turned in desperation to the Unemployed Council. Within the past week, six families in one neighborhood have been cut off the Red Cross relief list because they refused to go to Mississippi plantations to become virtual slaves for white planters there. The Red Cross officials painted the prospects in glowing colors telling one Negro worker that he and his family would be able to clear $500 by Christmas if they would pack up and go to Mississippi. Anyone who knows the conditions of the Negro croppers and farm-laborers in the South today knows that this can be only a downright lie. What this family is likely to clear, if it goes to the Mississippi plantation, is $500 worth of debts, which will effectively chain it to the land for years to come. When the six families, scenting the lie, refused to leave the city, the Red Cross officials stopped painting pretty word-pictures of ideal conditions on the plantation, and told these workers bluntly that they would receive no more relief.

It is too late now to pass an ordinance segregating them into districts because they have spread out so much that the consolidation of their holdings into segregated areas would mean turning over too much property to them." The gloomy Mr. Bernstein was informed by the N.A.A.C.P. that not only was it too expensive to make segregated areas by ordinance in Brooklyn, but it was illegal as the U. S. Supreme Court in 1917 ruled such ordinances unconstitutional in deciding a case from Louisville. The N.A.A.C.P. added further to his sadness by telling him the highest court had not changed its mind since it had reaffirmed its 1917 decision in 1927 in a case arising in New Orleans. From the depths of his sorrow at seeing colored citizens secure decent homes for themselves, Mr. Bernstein has made no answer. COLUMBIA LODGE, ELKS NEWS By FLOYD W.

The writer's only qualifications were a year as associate editor of a college paper, three or four years' experience as a columnist on Negro weeklies, six months' experience as a feature columnist for a white weekly, and an incomplete correspondence course in journalism from the Newspaper Institute of America in New York City. Mr. M'Nemar, who is not only president of the Navy Department branch of local No. 2, but also a delegate to the District Federation, is a graduate of Eureka College, a post-graduate of the University of Chicago, a member of the bar in the District of Columbia and Virginia, and was for six years a professor of international law and political science at George Washington University. ```markdown ``` Myron E. Andrews, writing in a recent issue of the Federal News, wrote a very interesting article, part of which I am reproducing for the benefit of my readers who do not read the News: "Grade 1 clerks in the Federal service now receive only $13 a year more than is considered necessary to maintain a family of five on charity. Such is the startling conclusion reached when the salary of a Grade 1 clerk, less 15 per cent, is considered or compared with the results of a study made by the University of California. "The entrance salary of a Grade 1 clerk in the clerical, administrative and fiscal service is $1260 per annum. When the current slash of 15 per cent is made, the net salary is only $1071. The study of the requirements for a dependent family of five, referred to above, shows that about $1,058 should be the minimum allowed by social welfare agencies. "The net salary of the Grade 1 clerk, or $1071 is only $13 in excess of $1058. Federal employees certainly cannot be accused of exaggeration when they point out that a large proportion of their number are forced down to a poverty level." The writer's entrance salary, before his promotion from elevator conductor to messenger, was $1080, and there are hundreds getting now and many $900 or lower. It is no wonder that "loan sharks" grow rich on money made from colored federal employees. We are the last ones hired, given the most menial jobs, discriminated against if we show a little intelligence, find it virtually impossible to advance above a messengership—examinations creditably passed notwithstanding—and the first fired on the slightest pretext. Yet we are the hardest people on the face of the globe to get to intelligently organize ourselves and will not give those who attempt to leave the "heaten path" even moral assistance. We SHOULD wake up. ***** THE NEWSHAWK KNOWS— What is going on in the various departments and promises to spill the dirt at the proper time.

MANTEL CARTER Raymond Cary, Armstrong High School's southpaw ace, carved his name deep into the high school athletic hall of fame Monday when he hurled a brilliant no-hit and no-run game against Tech's ancient rivals, Dunbar, on Walker Stadium. The score was 6-0. Toiling with the ease and confidence of a veteran, Cary, in making this bit of athletic history, completely silenced the heavy warsticks of the Poets, failing to grant a blow that bore any semblance of a safe hit. The victory clinched both the South Atlantic High School Conference and District baseball championships for the Generals. Cary's feat marks the first time in local high school history that such a pitching performance, the aim of all hurlers, has been accomplished. One Man Reaches Third So baffling were Cary's curves and so near perfection was his control that only a trio of Red and Black swatsmen did as much as trod the base paths, one reaching the far corner and the other two stopping. In the last half of the opening inning, Pree, lead-off man for the Poets, got as far as second when Clarke, Tech third sacker, threw wild to first after making a stop of his grounder. Again, in the second frame, a Poet batter advanced as far as the keystone石. Thomas took first after one of Cary's shoots curved into his side and moved over when Belcher bunted toward first. Thomas, the only Poet to get on twice, walked in the fifth, stole second and third, but died a natural death as Cary fanned both Belcher and Jase and forced Washington to ground out to third. The diminutive Tech flinger turned the Poets back in 1-2-3 order in the third, fourth, sixth and seventh innings. In accomplishing this feat, which will live long in the memory of 300 fans whose privilege it was to witness the greatest pitching performance recorded by a high school hurler, Cary fanned four Dunbunmen, allowed two base on balls and accepted without error five chances. Generals Have Big Inning Playing what will perhaps be the last game under the guidance of Coach Cato Adams, who plans to retire from baseball next year, the Generals gave Cary a five-run lead in the opening session, and added another marker in the fifth just for good measure. To start hostilities, Hayes singled to right, stole second, while Goodwin, Poet finger, was napping, and then a trio of doubles by Henry, Clarke and Beverly netted as many runs and drove Goodwin to the showers. W. Washington was sent to the mound by Coach Perry Jacobs. A single by Hager and Thomas's error sent the Armstrong total soaring to five, where Washington held them at bay until the fifth when Clarke singled, advanced on an infield out and took third when P. Cooke snotted wildly to second, and then tallied as Washington fumbled Hager's slow roller. DUNBAR ARMSTRONG AB H B E Brown.cf.

BURR Professor of Physical Education at Howard University PHLSICAL EDUCATION--Hed up PART V. Some very difficult problems in the development of athletics have appeared from time to time, such as the using of ineligible players, the whole problem of athletic scholarships, and "professionalism" generally. These administrative boards have endeavored to handle these matters with a rigid hand and in most cases have drawn up definite rules and regulations by which the whole program of athletics is controlled. It is known, of course, that in some of our institutions such problems still exist and the necessary steps to meet this situation will have to come from the individual schools, for at present there is no one organization that has a board of arbitration for such cases to which all Negro colleges and universities belong. Such organizations as the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the National Physical Education Association and the Eastern Board of Officials have done much to raise the standards of athletic administration to higher levels. The constitutions of some of these organization, giving their aims, objectives and purposes, are found to contain desirable views and such organizations should be encouraged to even greater service. On the whole, it may be said that the general administration of athletics in colleges and universities has improved a great deal in the last decade. In the modern program of physical education, we find that the trend is toward the development of an intramural program to furnish recreation for the entire student body rather than for outstanding individuals, and from the questionnaire and catalogue study, made by me, it is noted that many more of the colleges and universities are conducting intramural athletics than are conducting a definite physical education program. Their programs stress competition in such sports as football, basketball, baseball, tennis, volley ball, etc. It is noted, too, that some of the institutions provide intramural activities for the women as well as the men, and in most cases tennis, field hockey and girls' basketball are the most popular activities. The trend showed that about 60 per cent of the students were participating in this type of activities. It can be expected that greater popularity and stronger leadership and organization for "intramurals" will be noticed in the next few years, for we find that 40 per cent of our institutions are planning to enlarge their plants and 47 per cent their physical education staffs, and from our professional schools we can expect trained leadership to give more color and service in the developing of an all-round intramural program for the student body; In the organization and administration of the teaching of both general and professional courses, we find that the physical education staffs have a real task confronting them to so organize a program that it will be most beneficial to the students and at the same time as economical as is necessary to remain within the budget allotted for this part of the program. With the improved organization and administration, as well as the co-operating efforts of other departments, the teaching of physical education in Negro colleges and universities will take its rightful place in the curriculum and will offer its definite contribution to the field of modern education.

LU VALLE WINS IN 400-METER RACE Former Washington Student Almost Equals Record in 4-A Track Meet BOSTON, Mass. (Special to The Tribune) — Jimmie Lu Valle, the striding sophomore quarter-miler from the University of California in Los Angeles, in his first appearance as a varsity runner in the inter-collegiate 4A field and track meet in the Harvard University stadium here Saturday, won the 400-meter race in 46.9, with four other contestants. This is the second fastest time on record and is within seven-tenths of a second of the record of 46.2 made by Billy Carr, of Penn, at the Olympics last August. LuValle Not Pushed When Carr made that sensational run in Los Angeles, the sport writers predicted that it would be a long time before any one approached the record, if ever. LuValle came very close to it and he was not pushed in his race, for he ran a front race from the gun and finished five yards in front of the field with Howard Jones, of Penn, second; Karl Warner, the Yale ace, third; Eddie Ableow, of Southern California, fourth; and Thompkins, of Southern California, fifth. Young LuValle is the only Negro quarter-miler of any consequence in the United States today. He upset the hopes of the Eastern colleges and sport writers, for they had doped Warner, of Yale, to win the 400-meter race. He justified the faith his coach and school had in him to send him as their lone track representative all the way across the continent to win that race. Takes Lead With a hip-swinging motion that reminded veterans of the track of the great Maxey Lone, LuValle ran steadily with Howard Jones following a stride behind and Eddie Ablowich third, and Warner of Yale placed fourth until after rounding the bend. Coming into the stretch, LuValle moved outside slightly, Jones made his try for leadership, but failed to overtake the "western whirlwind" when with 120 yards to go, LuValle seemed destined to win. Karl Warner, the hope of Eli, made his bid here and he too failed to overhaul the California flash. Young LuVallea 46.9 victory in the 400-meter run is one of the outstanding bits in American track work this year. Easy gaited powerful and a front runner, this Los Angeles lad taught the field a real running lesson when he raced home in a sparkler final. Had he been pressed he might easily have touched the world record of 46.2. Gave Team Five Points His field mate, George Jefferson, tied for first place, with four others in pole vaulting at the height of 13 feet 6 inches. This gave the University of California in Los Angeles eight points; LuValle made five and Jefferson three. These two lads were the only representatives from the University of California in Los Angeles at the meet. The University of California in Berkley was not represented. LuValle made the best time in the trials and semi-finals, Friday, when he ran a front race in the first heat of the 40-meter trials in 47.5, leading the field of 15 contestors by 10 yards. They were Blackman, Standford; Adams, Bates; Healey, Pennsylvania; and Gilmore, Columbia, in the first heat with LuValle. Attended D. C. School LuValle is the son of J. A. G. LuValle of The Washington Tribune. He attended the Garnet- Patterson elementary school in Washington, D.C., for four years. He went to Los Angeles in 1925 and finished the McKinley Junior High and the Polytechnic Senior High Schools there. He was awarded a gold medal for winning the 400-meter race. This is the thirty-third medal to be awarded to him in his three years on the track—two years in high school and one in college meets. Three of the medals are silver and 30 are gold. This is his twelfth gold medal for this year.

Suite 101 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JUNE 2. 1933 Trials and Anxieties of a Baseball Coach Trials and Anxieties of a Baseball Coach By CATO W. ADAMS EDITOR'S NOTE—Mr. Adams has been identified with coaching activities for about twenty-three years. His career began as a teacher in the elementary schools of Washington, when he assumed the duties of coach of bass line and drummer in the new school. He was also one of the officers of the old P.S.A.L. (Public School Athletic League). He has coached baseball at Armstrong for ten years, in which time his school has lost the baseball championship through a series of injuries last season. In 1830, after sweeping the Dunbar and Cardozo, one of the Tech players was declared ineligible and the series was forfeited. One of the hardest tasks assigned to a coach or any person directing a baseball team is to make substitutions for pitchers when things begin to get unfortunate for his team. To be even more accurate, it is a hard task to juggle a line up when once a game has begun and an injury to player should occur, or an erratic player begins to play upon the nerves of the "kind" public that knows so much about baseball or so much about just the proper change to make in a given crisis. A baseball coach is less favored than coaches in the other high school sports in that when once a baseball player is withdrawn from a game he can not return. When Jake Stahl was managing the Washington baseball team in the old baseball park—a mere shoe box with first base close to the wooden bleachers that the fans could take hold of his shirt and ask: "Say, who told ya, ya was a manager?" I once saw him so unnerved that he just paced back and forth from first base to the pitcher's box where old tall Fred Falkenburg was having troubles a plenty. Some yelled, "Take 'im out!" while the other chorus yelled, "Give 'im a 'chanct' ta settle, Jake, 'Thass w'y we can't win!" Just such a situation confronted the Armstrong coach early in April, 1927, when the team was playing an all-star nine composed of some ex-high school players and experienced sandlotters in the early days of the Walker Stadium. With Levi pitching what looked like a no-hit shut-out. Armstrong was leading 3-0 when the opposition took its last turn at the bat. Only two had reached first—one on a walk and one by a cross between an error and a scratch, hit. Pirates Score 22 Runs to 7 by Black Eagles Team The Washington Pirates won a double attraction from the Black Eagles last Sunday by a record score of 22 to 7, in the first game, and 7 to 3 in the six-inning night cap.

UPSAL PRESS Earlier in the game, Ernest Johnson, now at West Virginia State, momentarily fumbled a hard hit ball to short and his hasty throw pulled Bogan off first. By a narrow margin the runner was declared safe. The sporer called it an error so tie ambitious Levi was bearing down with all he had, in order to get credit for every pitcher's dream—a no-hit shutout. The first batter of the last inning bunted and the entire infield was caught flatfooted. The next batter bunted and "Smooth Scott" at third overran the ball. The third bunted and Levi slipped as he attempted to field the ball. What a situation with the fans calling like mad and the bases filled with none out! Of course the spectators were divided as to opinion. The tying run was on bases and anything was in the offing. Much to the disgust of Levi's sympathizers and to those who really "know" baseball, I waved Levi out. "Wacher know 'bout 'at, They 'aint' made a clear hit off'n da kid and that '... yams' imk for nothin'. He oughta get back in the cradle," was one of the least offensive of the many remarks heard. Only two other pitchers were present that day and both unknown and heretofore untried—Smith and Lynn. I gambled on Smith who was the rangier and speedier. If one directing a team makes a bad guess, it may look like strategy par excellence if the opposition obliges with a co-operative weakness or fails to profit by the guess. In this case the batter received Smith's first pitch in the ribs and a runner was forced in and the bases were still full with none out. The relief pitcher further accommodated the "howling mob" by being too cautious and walked the next batter making the score 3-2, none out, and the bases still packed. Out came Mr. Smith and in the chest of the coach came a feeling that he, the coach, wished that he had died when he was a baby. But on the back of it came Lynn who was thoroughly warmed up and bubbling over with confidence. "Minnie" Green went behind the bat and began to call Lynn everything, yet admonished him not to forget to pitch. Lynn threw six straight strikes on the next two batters. During the excitement, the runner on third had strayed too for off and Green's snap throw trapped him. Then ensued one of the most spectacular run-downs in which every member of the team engaged with the ball going to every base and the plate. Finally Red Dabney who had come in from left field to join the "circus" got the put out and the game was saved. In an early issue Mr. Adams will tell of a break which together with a disputed decision caused a play-over of a game which Dunbar had apparently won 7-6. Barons Take Early Lead To Defeat Willowtree The Washington Barons grabbed an early lead in the first two innings to finally score a 14 to 7 victory over the Willowtree nine last Sunday in the ball yard at Sixth and R Streets, Southeast. Johnson, Willowtree keystone ace, hit two home runs. The Barons scored four runs in the first inning and five in the second to take the lead and they were never headed. A bevy of hits in the fourth and fifth innings added six-tallies to the 'Trees' score. WILLOWTREES WASH.

The Athletics bowed by a 9 to 8 score. In the second contest the Anacostia sluggers went on a batting spree to win a 10 to 5 decision. Berry and Robertson on the mound were the opposing hurlers and pitched excellent ball. The former was a little wild, he hit three Huntsville batters, allowed 12 hits, and struck out 10. Robertson issued 11 hits and fanned 8. Chang Duckett hard-hitting second baseman of the A's, was the outstanding batting hero. In four trips plateward he slammed out three doubles.

Y. self-saddened, stamped envelope BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SPORT WORLD TIGERS DEFEAT HILLSDALE TWICE LeDroit ..... 6 0 1.000 White Sox ..... 3 1 .750 Rajahs ..... 4 4 .500 Hillsdale ..... 3 3 .500 DePriest ..... 2 4 .333 Giants ..... 1 7 .125 Where They Play June 4 Rajah, vs. DePriest at Sixty-first and Clay Sts., N.E. White Sox vs. Hillsdale at Halls Hill, Va. (Doubleheaders. First game called at 1:30.) The LeDroit Tigers continued their march pennant-ward by defeating one of their strongest rivals, the Hillsdales, in both games of a doubleheader, Sunday, 13-5 and 6-5. The first game started out as a tight contest between the two teams. In the sixth inning the big bats of the Tigers began to ring and continued doing so until they had piled up a lead that the 'Dales never dared to threaten. The pitching of Lefty George Smith, who is staging a come back after a two-year lay off, was the feature of the first game, although Powell, who replaced Smith on the mound, was complete master of the situation from start to finish. Williams, Brown and Payne were the big sluggers for the Tigers. The second contest was a thriller throughout with M. Levi pitching a wonderful game for Hillsdale, but the relief pitching of Powell, who had just relieved his mate in the previous game, was too much for Hillsdale to overcome, and the game ended with Hillsdale on the short end of a 6 to 5 contest. Sox Split with DePriest The White Sox took the DePriest team into camp in the first game of a doubleheader by the score of 10 to 5. N. Barnes, the submarine twirler of the DePriest team, was wild and ineffective throughout the game, while Wills, pitching for the Sox, had such a comfortable lead that he was never required to exert himself. However the DePriests were out there to avenge themselves in the second game. Jackson starting on the mound for the White Sox was completely routed in less than one inning. When the DePriest clubmen fell upon them with a barrage of hits that netted them five runs before Lewis was sent to his rescue. Lewis completely baffled the DePriest men throughout the remainder of the game, allowing two hits and one run in eight and one-third innings. Roberts, pitching for DePriest, exhibited a rare brand of pitching and held the Sox to two hits and two runs throughout the game. Giants Register First Win Behind the superb pitching of Stroman, and with the timely hitting of the team in general, the Rajahs easily defeated the Giants in the first game of a double-header by the score of 11 to 2. After allowing one run in the first inning Stroman settled down and pitched an excellent game of baseball. Scott and Barber were the fielding stars for the Rajahs. Scott making a back-handed catch of Harris's drive near second base, drew wild applauds from the crowd, while Barber made a running one-handed catch of Mohop's line drive that certainly robbed him of an extra base hit. Mohops at short stop and Fisher at first base played up-to-date ball for the Giants. The second game started as a pitchers' duel between Vick, of the Rajahs, and Hawkins, of the Giants. Vick, pitching his first game for the Rajahs, completely baffled the Giants until the sixth inning when, after an error by Scott, he allowed four runs before he was relieved by Addison. Hawkins' pitching for the Giants was a complete puzzle to the Rajahs. Always when danger threatened he had so much in reserve that he kept the Rajahs guessing what would be next. The Giants have made several additions to the team that have strengthened them noticeably and are expected to be touch foes to all opponents. The Tigers and the Giants have open dates next Sunday. The Tigers will play exhibition games over the week-end around Norfolk, Newport News and Portsmouth, Va. At 53rd and Ames, N.E. Firstgame: R. H. E. Halls Hill 10 8 0 DePriest 5 7 0 Wills and P.

So goes the record of the fortunes Mentor Hill and his People's Drug Store nine, Sunday, in a twin bill. Tallying three times in the first and third frames, the Peoples performers nosed out the Panthers, 9-5 in the opener, but succumbed to the onslaught of the Washington Cubs in the nightcap, 11-7, when an eighth-inning retaliation fell short of its mark. Simmons Hits Homer Led by Simmons, who with a homer, triple and two-base clout, was the most dominant figure in the People's win. William Davis flanked his mate with a masterful piece of mound work. The lanky right-hander permitted but seven well-scattered bingles to be gleaned from his slants, while he set down eleven Panthers via the strike-out route to bring his total in two games to twenty. The nightcap, however, brought about the opposite and losing tactics of Manager Hill's gladiators. Davis to the Rescue Simmons started the fray and was knocked from the hill in the sixth by a barrage of hits that could do no less than spell "showers" for him. Davis, nevertheless, emerged from his haunts around the initial sack and whiffed two men to quell the uprising. With the aisles packed and his team six markers behind, Louis Valencia strode to the batting tee with a look of determination that caused Talbert (who was hurling for the Cubs) to shudder. Valencia won out, when he socked the white pellet to deep left center to clean the sacks. Pill Pierce, formerly of the Washington Blue Sox, scored something of a moral victory against his erstwhile team mates when he checked in with a double and two one-basers, to share baton honors with Lewis Bird of the winners, who found the combined offerings of Simmons and Davis for four safeties in five attempts. Russell, Thomas, along with Harper, McNeely, Williams and Adams were others who were pre-eminent in smacking the horsehide with the hickory.

CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL NOTED COLUMNIST GRANTED PAROLE Gov. of Michigan Releases Him Under Sponsorship of Harry H. Pace JACKSON, Mich. — Clifford C. Mitchell, who has won nation-wide fame as a writer while confined in prison, was given a parole from the Michigan State prison at Jackson, Michigan, by Governor William Comstock. He will be released on June 8. At a hearing before the board of paroles and pardons in the prison last Wednesday, Mr. Mitchell, who had served a number of years on an indeterminate sentence of 1 to 14 years, was recommended for parole by the board, one member of which is W. Alfred Debo, colored. Officials of the prison told the board that Mr. Mitchell was a model prisoner, and they also were loud in their praise of his writings. Harry H. Pace, president of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company, vouchered for the future conduct of Mitchell, who will live in Chicago and continue writing. Among the many prominent persons who appealed for Mitchell was James A. Jackson, of the U. S. Department of Commerce. Many editors joined in the appeal. He was born in Minneapolis, Minn., about 41 years ago. At an early age his parents moved to Edmonton, Canada, where he graduated from a business college. Later he moved to Detroit, where he became involved in difficulties which led to his imprisonment. Has Large Library While in prison he has completed correspondence courses in several universities. In his office in the brush factory, he has a library worth in the neighborhood of $1,000. The books were furnished partly by the publishers for him to review and some of them were purchased from his own limited funds. The officials arranged a light in his cell so that he could work as late as he cared. He was granted every privilege possible for rehabilitation.

At last a picture of real people—of real folks minus the sophistication and the affectation that mark the average resident of a big city—has been brought to the screen.

Robeson Returns to Appear in Motion Picture of "Emperor Jones" NEW YORK CITY—(CNS)—"I plan to perpetuate Negro plays in Europe by forming the Robeson playhouse in London," said Paul Robeson as he walked down the gangplank of the White Star liner, "Olympic," on Wednesday, May 10. Robeson, the noted actor and singer returned from Europe to appear in the motion picture version of the "Emperor Jones." Mrs. Eslanda Robeson, who is his business manager accompanied him. Apropio, of Robeson's return from abroad, O. O. McIntyre in his New York Day by Day column in describing a recent talkfire says: "And at the Algonquin, they were discussing Hitler's nationality. 'Whatever it is,' someone voiced, 'I am certain he has a touch of race prejudice.' To which Geo. S. Kaumann mildly blurted: 'I hear Paul Robeson has a touch of Negro.'" THE BROADWAY HAS "VIRTUE" FOR TWO DAYS The public today demand realism in its motion picture entertainment, according to Robert Riskin, noted playwright and screen writer who adapted Columbia's "Virtue" to the screen, with Carole Lombard and Pat O'Brien in the principal roles. The picture will be the feature at the Broadway, Sunday-Monday, July 4-5. Carole Lombard in the role of Mae, a girl to whom virtue is a luxury she cannot afford in expensive New York, finds herself under arrest, brought before the Magistrate in the Women's Night Court and confronted with a choice of returning to home and mother or spending sixty days in Welfare Island. This picture is not for children under 16. RAMON NOVARRO IN "THE BARBARIAN" AT LINCOLN As a change from the overflow of stories concerned with city life, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer brings to the Lincoln screen starting Saturday, "The Barbarian," starring Ramon Novarro and described as a romantic comedy laid in the colorful, atmospheric background of the Nile River and Egyptian desert. Novarro is seen as a resourceful rogue ostensibly occupied in the legitimate business of guiding tourists through the picturesque pyramid sight-seeing country, but more subtly engaged in the more romantic activity of impressing wealthy widows with his charms. It is a new kind of "racket" and one said to be as diverting as it is ingenious. Into the story enters Myrna Loy as a young English girl who has come to Cairo to marry the somewhat slow-witted engineer of a new aqueduct. PLENTY OF JAZZ AND AN ALMOST PERFECT CRIME AT REPUBLIC A re-edited, and revised "King of Jazz" will be seen at the Republic Theatre for five days beginning June 2. Such outstanding artists as Paul Whiteman, Bing Crosby, John Boles, and Jeanie Lank make "King of Jazz" one of the most outstanding productions of the year. Rufus Byars supervisor of the Republic, states that "King of Jazz" will be found to be one of the most thoroughly satisfying pictures of this season. Is it possible to plan a murder so cleverly that the chances of punishment are so slim as to be negligible?

Theatrically Speaking Local theatre-goers have been given the best menus they have had on the local stage bills during the past two weeks, thanks to the introduction of vaudeville at A. E. Lichtman's U'Street Lincoln Theatre, thus causing the performers at both this house and the Howard, the Stiefel unit, to put forth their best efforts to please the patrons, and that is just what they are doing. Well worth comment is the added fact that the District of Columbia will now become the mecca for Negro stage talent, since it is one of the few cities in the East which now offers real first-rate houses for colored performers. This mean more work for the professionals, and new opportunity for the amateurs, who want to go on the stage. The managements of both the theatres are to be congratulated upon the improved types of programs being 'staged' now. And it is safe to say that the operation of stage shows by the two concerns will not mean any loss in patronage to either one, for both the theatres had crowded houses on last Sunday night, as well as throughout the week. This clearly shows that Washington is plenty big enough for TWO vaudeville houses, for neither is losing patronage by the other's presence. It rather seems that the score is in favor of the fans. The Howard With Doris Rheubottom and the Washboard Serenaders headlining a well balanced bill, the Stiefels staged a snappy revue this week, titled "Hi-De-Ho," with Eddie Sandifer's orchestra, from Boston, in the pit. Carolyn Snowden, the much touted movie actress, failed to live up to her advance notices, at least to the mind of local observers, and your critic. It seemed that Miss Snowden's voice was suffering. Her talents as an actress may be great, but as a blues-singer she is rather weak. Three Ginger Snaps, John Mason, Putney Dandridge, late of Boiangles Robinson fame, worked well in their bits, with Shorty and John Mason supplying unlimited comics, in a highly satisfactory manner. The band was fair, occasionally drowning out the voices of the singers with too much volume. Al Thomas, a new M.C. was pleasing, as also was cute little Dorothy Saunders whose dance number with one of the Washboard Serenaders was a dandy.

The Howard will offer a new show, entitled "Jazzmania" beginning Saturday, and starring Jackie Mabley, known as the best colored comedienna in the business. With her will be the due, Rivers and Brown, songsters, and an elaborate show. The screen will offer Ed. G. Robinson, in "The Little Giant," touted as Robinson's best flicker. The Lincoln The younger stage house offered a glittering mass of color in a gorgeous chorus, which came intact from the Broadway hit, "Flying Colors," and swept its way into the fancy of local fans. Leonrad Reed as M.C. helped add to the show, while Tommy Myles and his band, who played the Howard last week, were exceptional in a new rendition of the "Farewell Blues." The sparkling humor was supplied by Pigmeat Markham and Johnny Lee Long, who did their numbers with their usual gusto. Marie Pervail, sang, while one Mr. Russell Lee, well known and liked by local lovers of music sang his way to the fore again. The crack team of the Two Miller Brothers, whirlwind novelty tap-dancer, from the Cotton Club, in N.Y.C., were on the bill, and their presence alone was worth the price of admission, for these two lads danced in a manner never seen here before. One elastic lad sat in a chair and did every step in Bill Robinson's repothea, the other climbed atop a boardwalk (one BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Female Trumpet Sensation Dolly Hutchinson foot wide) and whilred into acrobatics difficult to even imagine.

T.W.A. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Fairyland Flares in Light Chicago World's Fair Fantasy THE MURRAY CASINO Depression Prices For Dates Prisons and Prisoners Mr. Mitchell has been granted a parole by the governor of Michigan and will be released June 8. EDITOR'S NOTE. The following article is from the pen of Clifford C. Mitchell, whose weekly release, "Digesting the News," appears in our columns. As indicated in this week's release, Mr. Mitchell is an inmate of Jackson Prison, Laming Mith, where he is editor of the paper, a regular contribution to the prison paper, School News. While these articles, under the title "Prisons and Prisoners," are directed primarily to his fellow inmates, few of them, as the following, would seem to be of more general interest. Recently, in a New England state, the former president of a defunct bank, in which thousands of depositors lost millions, was convicted of a felony and sent to prison. After he arrived at the prison the newspapers "played up" the story for several days because the ex-banker was immediately made a trusty and placed on the honor farm. We are not so much concerned MAGIC city of dazzling light, with fantastically-shaped buildings silhouetted against the night sky by beams from myriad sources—searchlights, scintillators, floodlights, sparkling colored fountains, glowing neon tubes, with brilliant fans and plumes of light overhead. This is the fairyland that will blaze like a jewel with a million facets every night at Chicago's 1933 World's Fair—A Century of Progress, which opens on May 27. Just as the architecture of the Exposition has transcended all previous attempts in the creation of new and startling effects, the night illumination will surpass anything ever before attempted. Foremost electrical engineers and illuminating experts of the nation have combined to produce the most spectacular of all night pages of color and light. The Fair will dramatically demonstrate to the millions of visitors that illumination in the past century has made startling advancement. Well into the century being celebrated, oil and gas were the sources of light on which night-time activity depended. Expositions in the early days closed their gates at dusk. The first attempt to provide night entertainment for Fair visitors was at Philadelphia in 1876, and then the official closing was at dusk. The merchants of the city banded together, however, and made an effort to carry the carnival spirit into the night by installing thousands of gas jets and by sponsoring firework displays. Use 15,000 Lamps Two great electrical manufacturers, General Electric and Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing, have pooled their forces under the direction of Walter D'Arcy Ryan, for years director of G-E's illuminating engineering laboratory, to produce lighting effects heretofore used. ```markdown ``` Elaborate mushroom-like reflectors which will light the paths as A Century of Progress. in the fact that a rich banker was convicted of a felony; or in the fact that he actually reached prison; or in the additional fact that he was immediately made a trusty, but we are concerned, as a writer on the subject of prisons and prisoners, in the conclusions the ex-banker reached and which the press liberally quoted. The ex-banker expressed the view that it was not necessary for him to defend himself for securing every privilege that was within his power to obtain. To use his own thought further, he stated that if there was any criticism to be made that it should be made against society for it is so organized that only those with money and influence are able to specify what they want and demand it. When the press reporters reminded the ex-banker that the prosecution had threatened to send many other bankers to prison, the ex-banker retorted by saying that if they just sent his own acquaintances who were practicing the same methods he was found guilty of, that they had better turn loose half of the petty offenders now in prison. Regardless of the fact that the ex-banker was made a trusty one hour after he reached prison, when Lighting plans for A Century of Progress call for the use of more than 15,000 incandescent lamps, ranging in size from 10 to 3,000 watts, for exterior illumination alone. It is possible only to guess the number that will be used within the great exposition buildings and by concessions. A single battery of twenty-four are searchlights will have a total light output of 1,500,000,000 candelpower for one spectacular effect. Thousands of feet of neon and mercury vapor tubes will add their soft glow to building exterior. It is estimated that 2,100 kilowatts of electrical energy will be required for the outdoor lighting effects. Three electric fountains are being installed in the lagoon, just off the east shore and north of the Twenty-third Street bridge. With 507 water jets, sprays and nozzles in each, it will take 3,600 gallons of water per minute to produce the eight distinct water displays of which each fountain is capable. A 75-second period is required for each water effect, and a complete cycle that includes the many combinations will take ten minutes. At the climax of the dem he made the above statement he touched the heart of every prisoner in that prison—and every other prison. If the prisoners in that Eastern prison are like the thousands of other prisoners I have contacted, I know there is not one that begrudged the extraordinary privileges the ex-banker received, for the latter not only recognized the fact but he publicly expressed it, that half of the prison's population were but petty offenders who had paid the price of their folly and were ready to be turned loose. Since I first entered Jackson Prison there have been over twenty-two thousand other prisoners who entered; quite a few of them were men of prominence, but I have not yet seen one so prominent or so influential, like the eastern ex-banker, who could specify what he wanted and demand it, immediately on entering prison. If such a prisoner should arrive, however, and should he receive the same degree of newspaper prominence as did the eastern ex-banker and like him, throw out the challenge to the public showing how rare it is for a man of much influence to reach prison, and further show that half of the men in prison are mere petty offenders without any influence whatever, onstration cycle, water will be spouted eighty feet in the air. In the center fountain, harmonious gradations of colored light, including soft pastel shades, will be provided by seventy special flood-lighting projectors equipped with red, green, blue and amber lenses. Each of the two outer fountains will employ thirty-six floodlights with clear lenses. Scintillator Display The scintillator will be located on the shore of Lake Michigan south of the Travel and Transport Building. With a railroad track located nearby, two gigantic locomotives can be run in to generate steam and shoot clouds of it high in the air. The brilliant colored lights, operated by a squad of specially trained men, will be played on the steam and on clouds of smoke exploded high in the air by smoke bomba. Brilliantly colored fans and plumes of light will be thrown hundreds of feet into the sky, and a fiery battle of serpents will be symbolized in the nightly displays. In their initial position, the searchlights will form an intensely bright aurora over the entire area. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1933 Call Potomac 1667 or 1668 Speaks at Alma Mater P. Dr. W. E. B. DUBOIS who will deliver address on alumni day at Fisk University, on 45th anniversary of his graduation. then I, for one, would gladly, if such were possible, serve part of such a prisoner's time for him. The longer I remain in prison the sicker at heart I become when I learn all the "inside" facts concerning the cases of certain prisoners; especially is this so when these facts are compared with the cases of some more influential prisoners; and still further sickening when compared with some of the cases of men who never even reach prison. And such conditions are typical of prisons everywhere. Sometimes I seriously wonder which type of prison has the worst effect on men—the type of prison which resorts to physical cruelty and torture, or the type that permits of no cruelty but neither does it allow for any form of self-expression. Fortunately, in Michigan, prisoners enjoy a liberal degree of self-expression which serves, to some extent, as an antidote to an otherwise bitter prescription. TWO STRIKING FLOATS (Continued from page 9) will not let us be patrol boys, but we can build the float." Miss Laura G. Arnold is principal of this school group and Miss Louise Syphax has charge of the patrol. The float regarded as the second best representing the patrol idea was that from the Crummell School, of which Mrs. Mary V. Brawner is principal. It portrayed the protection of the playground and was not as comprehensive at the Slater-Langston float. It had the school building and playground combination with the patrol boys on duty in the street in front of the building. The automobile was lacking to carry home the full purpose. This float was made under the direction of the firemen at No. 4 ongoing house. The John F. Cook School on P Street, Northwest, had the imitation of an ostrich for its float. The dragon, signifying danger, was entered by the Summer-Magruder group at Seventeenth and M Streets, Northwest. Rain Marred Parade A heavy rain came a few minutes before three, just as the parade was about to start from John Marshall Place down Pennsylvania Avenue. Many of the boys were soaked. However, the parade went on, although it rained even after it was under way. The colored boys made a fine showing for all were in the various uniforms. Many others were not. Youth's Corner By Alvin (Chick) Webb SUMMER HEAT AND PERSPIRATION One of the inevitable accompaniments of summer is excessive perspiration. Perspiration may be a boon to the laundry business, but when the female element is connect" to the average working man. Summer is one period of the year when the female elemtem is constantly harrassed and embarrassed by the well known B.O. In spite of the warnings of the enterprising soap advertisers many of us constantly nauseate one another with none too pleasant odors arising from excessive body warmth. Nothing is so pleasing to the human eye as is the picture of a woman resplendently bedecked in cool, white summer linen. Equally attractive a picture is that which presents a man who affects a suit made of well laundered white duck. Yet all this attractiveness and glamour will quickly vanish if the faintest unpleasant odor is detected by your friends and admirers. So to use the words of the w.k. advertisers—"if your best friends won't tell you, use our soap" and rest assured that your summer will leave no unpleasant memories among your dearest associates. Miss Ruth Baker Beginning with the year 1929, when the depression began to make its heavy fist felt among all of us human beings, a band of New York school boys and girls put up their papers and pencils, and made use of their respective talents on the vaudeville stage. Had not this circumstance been brought about by an economic crisis, many of these youthful entertainers would today be found in the seats of higher learning. Among this youthful generation that wedged themselves on the stages of our land was Miss Ruth Baker. Miss Baker, an attractive looking brown skin, is a graduate of the Phyllis Wheatley Jr. High School in New York City, and also attended the George Washington High School for three years. Incidentally, the writer is an alumnus of said school. Miss Baker is also a former pupil of the renowned Grace Giles dancing school. This school has graduated any number of its pupils to the vaudeville stage. Ruth was one of the star members of the chorus in the initial show at the Lincoln Theatre this past week. She tells me that she has been in the city since the winter months, and was with the Club Prudhom for a while. She returns to Washington in two weeks. Her hobbies are swimming, attending the movies, and of course dancing to the tune of a red hot song. Has a "crush" for George Raft and admires Joan Crawford. Her greatest ambition is to leave the stage and settle down. Like the evergreen tree, Ruth will never change. She evidently will always retain the same baby drawl—even when her hair begins to turn to silver. The Three Little Habtis This sensational dancing act of Kenneth Martindale, Henry Matthews, Benny Roberts, which drew down the house at the Lincoln Theatre last week, boasts of having as its personnel three typical lads from underneath the Harlem moon. They are Ken, Henry and Benny. Their novelty act is smooth, fast, and graceful. All of these boys are former pupils of the famous Douglass Junior High School in Harlem PETER H. MAX YERGAN who will be commencement day speaker at Fisk University, June 14. He has recently returned from eleven years' Y.M.C.A. work in South Africa. —a school that has produced consistent champions in every branch of athletic endeavor. I fondly remember Kenneth (in particular) as he was one of the gang of diminutive sheikhs who used to "take in" all the social affairs about and around town. Ken was somewhat of an athlete, and dabbled considerably with track and that popular Harlem sport, "stick-ball." He was always fond of tap dancing and it did not surprise me when I saw him appearing at the Lincoln Theatre with his two team mates. Ken is still a regular fellow, good-natured and ambitious in every sense of the word. When I interviewed him back stage last week, we spent an enjoyable hour going over former escapades, and discussing former mutual associates. Devoid of any sentiment, I am venturing to predict that Ken's act will "knock 'em cold" before long, and that that worthy gentleman will realize his fond hopes to leave the stage and enter into some prosperous field of business. REMINISCING When the writer was actively engaged in track athletics in the city of New York, several opportunities presented themselves to me to obtain a thorough insight on the attitude of white people towards the Negro. Through my athletic intercourse with them on the track and field, I was able to "see them as they actually existed" under certain peculiar circumstances. Here are some of the questions I was able to answer: Does the white man ever admire the Negro for his unusual physical prowess? Does the Nordic's attitude change suddenly whenever he discovers that a Negro is his mental master? Does the average white student actually believe that his Negro classmate is his social equal? To the first question, I will unhesitatingly answer, yes. In the particular institution that I attended I had occasion to observe the adulation and worship that was heaped upon a certain colored athlete who completely dazzled his fellow athletes by his skillfulness in playing basketball and football. Whenever that colored lad left one class room to enter another, he was flanked on every side by white hero worshippers and admirers. They ate their lunches together, attended the theatre together, and even visited one another's homes. Such situations are common in the mixed schools of the East, and cause no unusual comment. As regards the second question, I will also reply in the affirmative. The average white student usually treats his colored classmate with contempt and derision until said student evidences unusual ability for accumulating knowledge and disseminating facts. Then a sudden metamorphosis occurs. The white student inevitably cultivates a warmth of feeling and a friendliness or manner that is in itself remarkable. To the third question I shall also reply in the affirmative. The average white student who is devoid of the usual prejudice and white-superiority complex readily welcomes his fellow colored student after the true merits of the Negro has been demonstrated. As previously stated, their social trails are so often parallel that they frequently entertain each other at the theatre, the home and other places. The wrier has had the opportunity of visiting the homes of white students, and was constantly invited to speak at the leading white churches in the city. It is my firm belief that after the white man breaks down his stupid "wall of reserve" and is able to thoroughly appraise the good that lies in black men's souls, he inevitably accepts him as his social equal. The N.A.A.C.P. should be severely criticised for failing to campaign among the masses. There is a Junior N.A.A.C.P. organization located somewhere in the city... in spite of persistent efforts to locate its meeting place, no one seems to know anything at all about it. Some one should know. Out of a Negro population of approximately 135,000, but 2,000 of that number are connected with the local branch of the N.A.A.'s... and something should be done about it... I could popularize this "Youth" could, popularize this particular feature much more by spilling dirt a la Winchell...but after noting the number of embryo Winchells that have resulted in mere flash-in-the-pans and morning glories, ye CLASSIFIED humble scribe will continue on his merry way, a la Webb, and continue to hope. Anyhow, I am saving my neck from the wrath of exposed husbands and flirtious wives...and I can boast of having half a dozen readers every week, come what may...so, is everybody happy?...No harm done... There are others who are desirous of seeing their names in constant print, and get "hot and bothered" if I do not comply with their requests...to them I say "by your good deeds shall men know you"...when your name is printed here...rest assured that you shall have earned it...possibly this may prove to be a prize package or a prize laugh to you...depending on what you think of me. Beginning with the next issue, yours truly will present his "mug" above this column, which I trust will cause you to make no comparisons with Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, or all the other handsome characters of the cinema...anyhow I hope you'll like it...but as a parting shot, remember that you may please some of the people some of the time, and you may please all of the people some of the time, but never expect to please 'em all, all of the time.
