ARMS Parish Mem Why She Rector With
Says She Was Knocked Down and Was Being Beaten by Mr. White
WAS PULLING HIS EAR WHEN RESCUED
Mrs. Mitchell Demanded Explanation of "Not Fit" Statement
The Rev. Samuel Henry White, Episcopal priest and former vicar of St. Phillips Parish, Anacostia, was awarded one cent damages by a jury in the Municipal Court, on Tuesday, against Mrs. Pauline Mitchell, prominent Washington woman, and church worker.
The Rev. Mr. White asked the court for damages totaling $500, charging that Mrs. Mitchell belabored him with her umbrella in the church before the entire membership last September 4. He also claimed she maliciously secured a warrant for his arrest and caused him great pain and embarrassment by having him taken to No. 4 Precinct Station. The assault charge against the Rev. Mr. White never came to trial as it was nolle pressed.
Said She Was Being Choked
Mrs. Mitchell, through her attorney, John H. Wilson, contended that she was assaulted by the priest and she struck him twice across the head with her umbrella after he had struck her and had his hand around her throat, choking her. While she was prostrat on a bench in church.
In testifying in her own behalf, Mrs. Mitchell told the jury that she had formed the "Girls' Friendly Society" among a group of the young women of the parish. This group had selected her as leader and she sought to have the Rev. Mr. White induct the society into the church and made application through the assistant rector.
Not a Fit Person
She testified that Mr. White replied that "she was not a fit person" to lead girls. She immediately called the rector on the telephone and he told her that he would explain what he meant by the expression at church on the following Sunday.
She went to church and after the services, Mr. White in greeting his parishioners offered his hand to her, which she refused, and instead of taking his out-stretched hand she demanded to know what he meant by sending the alleged offensive answer in reply to her request to have the girl's club inducted into the church. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the pastor refused to answer her demand, and when she insisted he pushed her aside, then struck her in the face. It was at this point that she struck him twice across the head with her umbrella.
Pulled Pastor On Her Mrs. Emma Smoot, former school teacher, who is now engaged in the undertaking and embalming business stated that Mrs. Mitchell and the rector "came together" at this point. Mrs. Smoot said she and several other members had to pry Mr. White's hands from Mrs. Mitchell's throat and pull her hand from the pastor's ear.
After the two were parted Mrs. Mitchell went to her home, and with her husband she went to St. Monica Church in Southeast Washington, where Mr. White was to conduct another service.
Moved by Bishop
The rector claimed that while he was explaining the incident to Mr. Mitchell, his wife again raised her umbrella and threatened him. She also told the court that the en-

Miss Merritt had been confined to her home since April under the care of a physician and nurse.
Grew Suddenly III
Early Thursday morning, her condition gave her immediate relatives no concern. Between the hours of 1 and 2 p.m., she suffered an alarming sinking spell, which necessitated the calling of her physician. According to those who were at her bedside she died without a struggle.

MAN, 40, THOUGHT ASLEEP, HAD BEEN DEAD SEVEN HOURS
Woman Makes Discovery When She Touches Icy Forehead
The weird sensation of attempting to awaken a man who was apparently sleeping, but whose clammy forehead proved him to be cold in death, was experienced by Mrs. Margaret Simmons, of 1238 Loudens Court, Southeast, at 6 a.m., Saturday.
According to the woman's story to investigating officers of the Fourth Precinct, Richard Hogan, 40, of 734 Navy Place, Southeast, came to her home around noon Friday. He was intoxicated, she stated, and asked, that he be allowed to lie down because he felt sick.
Mrs. Simmons, who was ill in bed in the front room of the house, told Hogan to go into a back room, which he did.
Elizabeth Johnson, a friend of the sick woman, told police that she went to Mrs. Simmons's around 2:30 p.m. on the same day, to cook something for her to eat. She declared she heard Hogan snoring in the back room during the time she was at the above address.
Dead Several Hours:
Early Saturday, Mrs. Simmons decided to arouse Hogan. She called him from her bed several times, but received no response. She left her room and went into the one in which Hogan was supposed to be sleeping. She placed her hand upon his forehead. It was cold and she drew back in fright.
Mrs. Simmons notified Casualty Hospital and a staff physician upon (Continued on page two)

FEDERAL LIFE'S SEC'Y-MANAGER LOCKED OUT
FEDERAL LIFE'S SEC'Y-MANAGER LOCKED OUT
But C. T. Taylor, Deposed Official, Holds Combination of Safe
Echoes of the attempts of the board of directors of the Federal Life Insurance Company to oust their secretary-manager, C. T. Taylor, as part of a so-called "retrenchment policy" reached a new climax, Thursday morning, when the locks on the company's doors were found to be changed.
In addition, Mrs. M. H. Pratt, cashier, was sent a communication by Dr. Carroll A. Brooks, president, stating that the services of Mr. Taylor had terminated at the close of business on June 7. She was advised that S. Cunningham, former assistant to Mr. Taylor, had been appointed general manager for the time being.
Mrs. Pratt was also warned not to allow any papers or anything of value to be taken from the offices. In a statement to The Tribune, Mr. Taylor said: "They have locked me out." Henry Lincoln Johnson, attorney for the directors, when questioned as to the action of the officials, stated: "I have no statement to make just at the present time. The doors are open as one can see for himself if he should go down there."
Locks on Doors Changed
The changing of the locks followed a meeting of the board of directors, Wednesday night. At the meeting, the by-laws were amended, according to reports, so as to give the board the power to dismiss any officer or any employee. Mr. Taylor is said to have questioned this procedure as not being the order of business.
After the adoption of the amendment, Mrs. Jesse Foster, chairman of the executive committee, offered a resolution declaring the office of secretary-manager abolished, and ordering that the keys and the combination to the company's safe, etc. be turned over to the president.
Mr. Taylor, according to his statement, was denied a copy of the resolution (which is said to have made a charge of alleged misconduct in office) upon the ground that the president would have to consult a legal advisor.
Mr. Taylor has refused to turn over the keys or give the combination to the safe upon the repeated requests of the president. He took the position that being the only bonded officer of the company, he (Continued on page 2).

FIRST VICTORY IN EIGHT YEARS FOR TECH CADETS
For the first time in eight years Armstrong High School won the annual competitive drill and a crowd of 15,000 cheered as Captain Frederick Young, commanding Company D, 25th Regiment, was presented with a gold medal symbolizing victory at the forty-first event, which was held in the American League Park, Thursday afternoon.
The Tech cadets came from their seven-year slump with a vengeance and not only copied first, sward, but made a clean sweep of the entire drill by winning second and third places.
Company E, commanded by Captain Oscar Piper, won second aware., while Company C, commanded by Captain Lawrence Tyson, took third honors.
Judges were Captain Wilbur F. Lucas, 369th Infantry, New York; Captain Clinton Peterson, of the same regiment; and Lieutenant Richard Owens, of the New Jersey National Guard. Alternates were Lieutenant Sylvester T. Blackwell, 372nd Infantry; Lieut. David W. Adams, professor of military science and tactics, Rock Castle, Virginia.
One of the largest crowds in the history of the drill turned out to view the program. Although the day was hot there were no prostrations from the heat reported.
The Armstrong victory breaks a winning streak by Dunbur which started in 1926. The previous year Tech was the winner.
The silent drill which is always a feature drew its share of applause as a company of non-commissioned officers went through the manual of arms and other movements without an audible command.
The saber drill by commissioned officers, an added feature this year, drew a big hand from the crowds. Seen at the Drill Among the notables seen at the drill Thursday were:
The Rev. F. L. A. Bennett, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, and M. Whitwell, members of the board of education; Col. Wm. Hayward, of the 369th Infantry, New York; Col. C. E. N. Howard, son of Gen. O. O. Howard; Dr. Frank W. Ballon, superintendent of schools of the District; Steven E. Kramer, first assistant (Continued on page 6)

Follows I.L.D. Fights in Scottsboro and Euel Lee Cases
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—R. C. Hawkins, a retired mail carrier, was accepted Mo. day as a juror after eleven white men had been selected to hear charger of burglary against a Negro. The defendant was found guilty.
This is the first time that a Negro has been placed on a jury since the Reconstruction period following the Civil War.
Because of the jim crow system prevailine in public places, the jury was not sent out to a restaurant to eat. Instead, meals were brought direct to the jury room by court attendants.
The International Labor Defense in the Scottboro, Euel Lee and Herndon cases sharply raised the demand for Negroes on the jury.

TRICKY PROVISION AN INTELLIGENCE TEST, SAY JUDGES
Not Based on Creed or Color, Opinion Declares
(Special to The Tribune)
NEW ORLEANS, La.-Louisiana's "understanding clause" in the state election laws, through which Negroes are barred from the polls, was upheld as constitutional, Monday, in a decision handed down by the Fifth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting here.
The court held the clause to be "an intelligence test only, denying to none the equal protection of the law," and ruled that the clause was "not based on creed or color," but on an intelligence test of the person applying for registration to vote.
The opinion, written by Justice Nathan P. Bryan, and concurred in by Justices Rufus F. Foster and Joseph C. Hutchenson, Jr., held:
Not Based on Color
"The section is one which is a test only of intelligence and applies to all voters alike, denying to none of them the equal protection of the law...."
"The Louisiana constitution protects every citizen who desires to register from being arbitrarily denied that right by the registrar of voters....He can appeal to the trial courts of the state for relief if denied, and submit his case to a jury."
"The ruling held the understanding clause to be essentially different in aim and operation from the "grandfather clause" of Oklahoma and a similar clause of the Maryland constitution.
Negro Filed Suit
It was also held in the opinion that Antoine M. Trudeau, a colored man, who brought suit against C. S. Barnes, white, registrar of voters of Orleans Parish, to force the registrar to permit him to register, had not exhausted his legal remedies in state courts. Mr. Vrudeau's mandamus suit was filed directly in the federal court, and was dismissed on the grounds that he had not sought remedies in state courts. Mr. Trudeau immediately appealed the case, and Monday's ruling upheld the decision of the lower federal court.
Whether or not the case will be carried to the U. S. Supreme Court has not yet been determined.
TRIO BREAK RIB OF MAN, 65, TAKE $14 FROM HIS POCKET
Walking, complacently along, Alexander; Pugh, 65, of 1007 Seventh Street, Northwest, was accosted by three men at South Capitol Street and Virginia Avenue, Southeast, Saturday, about 8:30 p.m., one of whom asked him concerning a street of which he had never heard. As he expressed negrets for his ignorance, another of the trio produced a brick with which he struck the elderly man, knocking him to the ground. Pugh was further maltreated by the men before they took $14 from his pocket and fled. Pugh was treated at Gallinger Hospital, where an X-ray was to be taken to discover whether or not he had a broken rib as it is believed. One culprit is described as being brown skin, 25 or 30 years of age, weighing 160 pounds, wearing dark clothes, and a straw hat. The other two are also dark-skinned and were wearing overalls.

Captain Napoleon B. Marshall, World War Vet., Dies in New York
Captain Napoleon B. Marshall, World War Vet., Dies in New York
Succumbed to Injuries Incident to Over-Sea Service; Was Champion Runner, Prominent in Public Affairs, and Military Attache in Haiti
Captain Napoleon B. Marshall died Monday, June 5, at the Veterans' Hospital, Bronx, N.Y., as the final result of his World War injuries.
His remains lay in state in the 369th Regiment Armory, Wednesday, and were sent to Washington for interment in Arlington Cemetery.
Captain Marshall was born in Washington, D.C., and was 57 years of age. Finished the public schools, entered Exeter Academy in Massachusetts, graduated from Harvard College in 1897, and Harvard Law School in 1899.
While at Harvard he distinguished himself as one of the greatest track stars in the country, and was the champion quarter miler in the East.
Was captain in the 369th Infantry of the 93rd Division, A.E.F.; served in the campaigns in the Marine defensive and, the Sector D'Afrique until July 21, 1918, when he was wounded. He was transferred to the 92nd Division in August, 1918, and served with Company A, 365th Infantry in the St. Die Sector, and the Meuse Argonne offensive until injured, October 22, 1918, and was evacuated to the hospital. He returned to the United States December 9, 1918, seriously wounded, and was honorably discharged May 16, 1919.
He was paralyzed on one side, June, 1930, and after ten months in Walter Reed Hospital, he returned to New York.
Captain Marshall, while a resident of this city was prominent in civic affairs, especially those pertaining to the public schools.
He assisted the late Senator Joseph B. Foraker in his long and unsuccessful fight to secure justice for the men of the 24th U. S. Infantry, who were framed and dishonorably discharged for alleged participation in the shooting up of Brownsville, Texas, in 1906.
Mr. Marshall, with a companion, made a visit incognito to Brownville in an effort to determine the facts in the case. His testimony in the long drawn out Senate investigation was sensational, but Senator Foraker failed to get a completely favorable report. The latter's long fight, however, served to make him for a time the idol of the colored people, although it perhaps cost him the expected nomination for the Presidency, since both Theodore Roosevelt, then President, and Taft, his secretary of war, were set against the colored soldiers.
After recovering somewhat from injuries incident to his over-sea service, Captain Marshall served as military attache to the American Legation in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, from 1922 to 1929.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, of this city, who was at his bedside during his last serious illness, which lasted twelve days. He leaves also a sister, Mrs. Alenza Diggs, of Oklahoma City, Okla., and a brother, Leland Marshall, of New York City.
Stay for Euel Lee Granted by Governor
BALTIMORE, Md.—A stay of execution of Euel Lee (Orphan Jones) convicted on a murder charge, was granted from Governor Albert C. Ritchie last week. The stay postponed the execution, set originally for June 2, until June 16.
In the meantime, the Governor promised Bernard Ades, International Labor Defense counsel with Carol Weis King for, Lee, a further stay would be granted if the United States Supreme Court failed to act soon on the writ of certiorari already docketed on behalf of Lee as a preliminary to obtaining a review of his conviction.
Huge demonstrations of black and white workers were held here Saturday, to demand Lee's freedom as well as the release of the Scottsboro boys and of Tom Mooney. Frank Spector, of the National Office of the LL.D., William N. Jones, of the Afro-American, and Gough McDaniels, treasurer of the National Scottsboro Action Committee were among the speakers.

CIVIC FEDERATION VOTES TO GIVE AN AWARD
By J. A. G. LuVALLE
At the last meeting of the Federated Civic Associations, at the District Building, the association adopted a resolution, offered by B. T. Montgomery to award a certificate of merit each year to the colored citizens of the District who, "Out of the Spirit of Altruism, Has Performed the Most Outstanding Work for Negroes During the Year."
A committee was appointed to work out the details of the award. Those on the committee are George T. Beason, B. T. Montgomery and Edward H. Lawson.
The Federated Civic Association is composed of nineteen local civic associations of Negroes, so allotted in territory as to cover the District of Columbia and not overlap each other in their effort to serve the citizens here. The association was organized eleven years ago, with Dr. George H. Richardson as its first president. He served in that capacity for ten years and declined to stand for re-election last December, when George Beasley was elected president.
Federation is Semi-Official
These civic associations are the only contact the citizens of Washington have with their city government. The federated association is made up of five delegates from each of the local associations. The federation in turn has three delegates on the advisory council to the District Commissioners. Therefore an award coming from the Federated Civic Associations will be an award from the colored citizens of the District of Columbia. The local associations pay an annual fee of $3.00 which gives the individual association legal recognition in the federation, for their five delegates. At this meeting, George Beason, a charter member of the federation fro mthe Rock Creek Civic Association, offered a motion to have the civic associations of Howard Park and Potomac Park voted out of the federation because they represented so much "dead wood."
The Howard Park association was upheld by J. T. Cuney, of the Bloomingdale association, who offered to prove that the Howard Park association was still alive by escorting Mr. Beason to one of its meetings.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1933
DePRIEST SPEAKS AT SALISBURY, N.C. DECORATION DAY
Urges Negroes to Register and Vote Independently; Scores Communism
SALISBURY, N.C.—The Negro citizens of North Carolina paid tribute to the Federal soldiers who died in the cause of freedom here on Decoration Day at the Federal Cemetery.
The celebrations began in Salisbury immediately after the Civil War and have continued since.
This year the activities other than those at the cemetery were centered on Livingstone College campus, where stood a Confederate prison camp during the Civil War, and it is definitely known that the son of David Livingstone, the great African missionary and explorer, died in this prison camp.
A parade through the business section of Salisbury preceded the ceremony at the cemetery. There were numerous floats from all over the county and state, all taking as their motif some phase of the Negro's development since 1619.
Orged Negroes to vote
In the afternoon, at the Living-stone College auditorium, Congressman Oscar DePriest was the principal speaker. Throughout his address he kept driving home the importance of Negroes registering and voting in local and national elections. He said that he believed that Negroes should put their friends in office regardless of their party affiliations. He said that there is not much possibility of organizing a Republican party in the South since it is asking too much of the Southern white man to forget the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, Jeff Davis, and Robert E. Lee so soon. "The fact is," said Mr. DePriest, "there is much more objection to the Lily White Republican than to the honest Democrat. I don't think there is such a thing as an honest-to-God Southern white Republican. He is just an office seeker."
Next, Mr. DePriest turned his attention to the Communists and attacked them furiously. He scored them for exploiting the Scottboro case, while, however, admitting that they had done some good. He spoke also of the amendment which he had introduced in Congress which would allow Federal courts jurisdiction and allow them to jurisdiction to transfer cases from one state to another.
PARISH MEMBER TELLS
(Continued from page 1)
(Continued from page 1)
tire matter was reported to the presiding officer, Bishop James Freeman, who sent word that if the matter was dropped he would remove the Rev. Mr. White from the parish. Mrs. Mitchell claimed that on advice of Bishop Freeman she refused to prosecute the rector and the case was nolle pressed in police court.
Mr. White was sent to St. Monica, where he is now serving. He claimed he has suffered mentally as well as financially as a result of being arrested and has been pointed out on the street even by small children.
Had Rector by Ear
Mrs. Emma Smith, superintendent of the Sunday school of St. Phillips, testified that she had her back towards the rector and Mrs. Mitchell when the alleged first blows were struck, but when her attention was attracted by the commotion she saw the pastor with his arms around Mrs. Mitchell's neck and she had him by the ear. She said she assisted in separating the two combatants.
Irving Goldstein, assistant United States Attorney, testified that he had the warrant issued for Mr. Whit's arrest after Mrs. Mitchell had come to his office and told him of the alleged assault.
Violated Church Law
Mrs. Jessie Frye, another St. Phillips' member, told the jury that she saw Mrs. Mitchell strike the pastor with an umbrella, but did not see the rector strike back. However, her daughter, Miss Roberta Frye, testified that she saw the woman hit the rector, but on cross examination stated that she was testifying what she had heard her mother say in discussing the matter.
In explaining his remarks about her not being a fit person to lead young women, Mr. White stated that he was not referring to her character, but Mrs. Mitchell had not communed in two years, and this was a serious breach of the church law and automatically placed her out of membership.
He said he was following the church law in refusing to sanction her as a leader of girls, as it is required that all members in good standing in the Protestant Episcopal Church must take the holy communion at stated periods, and Mrs. Mitchell had not kept this church requirement.
The case was heard before Chief Justice George A. Aukam.
Put a gun in the hands of the average person and he couldn't hit the side of a barn, but put an automobile in those same hands and a ninety-mile-an-hour express train is an easy target.

Trustees Head Asked to Recant Statement Made to Girls
BALTIMORE. — Flaying both Dr. Abram Flexner, chairman of Howard University trustee board, and the administration for abolishing the School of Education and the School of Engineering, members of the Baltimore Howard University Alumni Association in caustic terms passed two resolutions here Thursday scoring recent actions taken by the university officials.
The first resolution called on Dr. Flexner to a recent statement to young women of the university in which he told them they could quit if they did not like the way the school was run by the trustees. The women students wrote the trustee head a letter asking him to retain Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee, physician to women, and pointed out that if the present male physician were placed on part time Dr. Ferebee's services could be retained on a like basis. The second resolution asked that the needs of the university be thoroughly studied before the two schools, education and engineering, be abolished.
A. B. Koker introduced the resolutions and was elected a delegate to the general association which meets in Washington Thursday. Mrs. Marvis Evans was elected president of the Baltimore association; Avon Collins, vice-president; and Miss Mamie Carroll, secretary-treasurer.

Won't Give Up Keys The deposed secretary-manager contended further that he would keep the keys until an examination of the company's financial condition was made, so that he, his bonding company, and other interested persons might be protected. The differences between Mr. Taylor and the board of directors dates back to April of last year, when in a program of "effective retrenchment," Mr. Taylor's resignation was demanded. The secretary-manager retaliated by calling attention to certain alleged irregularities and criticised the board for not meeting regularly. In a prepared statement to the board, he set out how certain economies could be effected.
On the former occasion, the resolution combining the office of secretary-manager with that of assistant secretary-manager, and demanding the resignation of Mr. Taylor was presented by Mrs. Foster.
Bus Line Jim Crows Woman N.A.A.C.P. Files Suit
CHICAGO, Ill.—Within three days after the Safeway Bus Lines had refused to allow Mrs. Callie Stevens, 5830 Calumet Avenue, this city, to occupy her regularly reserved seat in a bus to New York, the Chicago branch of the N.A.A.C.P. through its attorneys, William Temple and Irvin Mollison, filed suit for damages for her under the Illinois civil right act. Mrs. Stevens reserved seat No. 5, but when she arrived to take it and the driver found she was colored, she was told she had to change to the rear. She refused to move and the company then cancelled her passage to New York telling her she was being refused because she was colored.
The Chicago branch, which is filing suits right and left against restaurants, railroads and bus lines because of Jim crow, has announced that it will fight all cases promptly and to a finish and take the bus matters finally to the Illinois Commerce Commission which control licences in the state.

CLAIMS DENTIST FAILED TO RETURN HER GOLD TEETH
Members of Profession Say "Scrap" Metal Has Little Value
Claiming that a valuable bridge was taken from her mouth at Garfield Hospital following an automobile accident, Mrs. Effe Malone, 1442 Swann Street, Northwest, asked The Tribune to aid her in having the bridge returned to her, this week.
Mrs. Malone was injured in an automobile accident last September on the Baltimore boulevard en route to Washington. She was taken to the hospital, where it was found that her jaw was badly injured and her upper bridge in such condition that it had to be removed.
She claimed that the bridge was removed by Dr. Joseph F. Manley, 1726 I Street, Northwest, and at the time her condition was such that she was unable to talk. Later she asked hospital authorities for the bridge which she claimed contained valuable gold. Hospital authorities refused her to Dr. Manley, who refused to return the bridge and denied he had taken it. Later, she said, Dr. Manley told her he had taken the bridge to his office and had sent the gold to the Philadelphia Mint to be refined. Mrs. Malone secured the services of Attorney J. Louis Taylor, but later employed Attorney James Tooney.
Metal Sent to Mint
When he was seen at his office by a Tribune reporter, Mr. Taylor refused to discuss the matter. Dr. Manley stated that he had sent the bridge to the mint and it was customary for dentists to follow this course in all cases where teeth containing gold are extracted.
An investigation by The Tribune disclosed that this procedure is usually followed by other dentists, and Dr. R. M. West, 1900 block of Vermont Avenue, stated that he had a tray of such gold and bridge work. He said that dentists send this "scrap" to the mint where it is refined and returned. An entire tray full has little value and is worth little more than $2.50 or $3.00.
Dr. West also told me Tribune reporter that most patients think they are paying for gold when the metal is placed in bridge work, but they are mistaken; the cost is for service rendered by the dentist and not the value of the gold which is in reality very little.
Dr. Manley also told The Tribune that Attorney Taylor had given him a receipt for Mrs. Malone's bridge and he was under the impression that the matter was closed. Mrs. Malone contended that the bridge sent her contained six teeth, while the one taken from her mouth had four.

Our Present-Day Colleges Turn Out Human Tin Cans
President Johnson of Howard, in Baccalaureate Sermon, Says Educational System Too Mechanized, Approximating Mass Production
THE BOWLING TEAM
Left to right (bottom row)—Archie Rowley, George Crammer, William Cox, Nathaniel Crump; (Girls)—arah Latimore, Vivian Evans, Margaret Singleton, Evangeline James, Lillian Barkdale, Esther Smith, Hilda Miller; (Top row)—Herbert Frisby, Lacey Flagg, Henry Tompkins, Augustus Taylor, Lewis White; Clarence Spearing, Raymond Lord Mr. Raymond A. Lemmons, faculty sponson.
Colleges are turning out graduates as human tint cans, meeting certain quantitative specifications, was the striking charge of Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, in his baccalaureate sermon at the university last Sunday.
Three thousand people sat in the warm sunshine in the stadium during the two-hour services, which began at 11 o'clock.
President Johnson's subject was "The Primary Imperatives of Our Times." His text was taken from Isaiah 17-18, which begins with the striking words, "when the poor and needy seek for water and there is none."
"There are times in the history of every nation when great objective distress is accompanied by deep spiritual dissatisfaction. People find themselves not only confronted with inadequate economic political, and family conditions, but literally parched with spiritual thirst for a faith adequate to meet the needs of their lives. In such a time we live. Like untapped springs in the hills the elements of such a faith lie before us, waiting for a medium of life through competent thinkers.
Wells are Not Dry
"In the United States we are suffering from economic distress. The masses of the people are half-clothed, inadequately fed, losing their homes, and losing their confidence in the economic philosophy which inspired their fathers.
"But for the first time in history in the midst of their distress they strangely realize that the wells of economic sustenance are not dry, that the troubles which they are having are due to no shortage of physical and intellectual resources.
"On the other hand, for the first time in the history of the world, it has been clearly revealed to them that there are enough natural, scientific, and technical resources at our disposal to enable every man, woman and child in their country to earn a normal living, and to be secure in old age with about five hours work a day for six days a week or less.
"When any such realization as this comes over a generation, it is borne down upon intelligent men and women of that generation as a spiritual imperative of paramount significance."
Referring to the much controverted subject of communism which he has been reported lately as endorsing unreservedly, Dr. Johnson said:
Not a Communist
"I am not a communist. I am always on my guard against any dogmatic panacea for the settlement of the complex difficulties which confront us in the modern world. On the other hand, I am not in accord with those who believe that the best way to deal with communism is to persecute those who believe in it. And I am not of the opinion that patriotism requires any thoughtful man to subscribe to the doctrine that there is nothing good to be found in the Russian experiment.
"The determination of the leaders of this movement to make use of modern scientific and technical resources to emancipate the masses of the people from poverty and its ills, including the disease of acquisitiveness, is a commanding undertaking which no modern nation can ignore. The enthusiasm and devotion with which they give themselves to their major purpose is suggestive of the kind of idealism which religion has always felt to be precious.
"The way to meet this new movement is not to persecute those who believe in it, or merely to focus attention upon the errors and perversities which may appear therein, but to beget on our own soil and in a manner consistent with the religious and political beliefs of our fathers, a movement which sets forth objectives no less splendid than which can arouse the
whole-hearted allegiance of our citizens. Many able men in America are trying to do this. Their work is timely, their patriotism is wise, and their following will increase."
Educational Procedure Faulty
"A third imperative of our times," said Dr. Johnson, "is the urgency to think out an educational procedure which will effectively issue in the unfolding and individuation of human personality. In America we are justly proud of our educational statistics. We point with satisfaction to the number of children in school, to the multitude of well-built school houses, and to the specialized competence of our teachers.
"But in our best moments we know that our educational system is over-mechanized and altogether too heavily dominated by utilitarian motives. When the time comes, as it surely will, that the economic and political systems co-operate to reduce the hours of labor necessary to make a secure living, the whole quantitative structure of education to make a living will be in position to die a natural death.
"We shall then get busy with the greatest enterprise of human existence—the training of the individual for the outflowering and individuation of his natural aptitudes, so that he may live a good, intelligent, and beautiful life. We shall then slow down the quantitative pace, differentiate the process and sit with eagerness before the individual child, encouraging, persuading and waiting until its original beauty comes forth and shines."
Graduates by Mass Production
Pressing the matter further, Dr Johnson said:
"We are all conscious today that the educational system in America is turning-out children in a manner which too much approximates mass production, like Ford turning out automobiles. For a long time we have been turning out college graduates as human tin cans, meeting certain quantitative specifications. They have been given a certain number of class periods, in a certain number of subjects, and have made their thirty-six units."
**Exercises on Open Stadium**
The exercises were held in the open stadium at the north end. A platform was erected on the grass, covered by an awning. The graduates sat in square formation before the stand and the faculty and their families sat back of the graduates. The visitors sat on the stadium scats in a semi-circle around the stand. Amplifiers were in use so that the words of the speakers and the songs were heard by everyone.
The program opened with the processional. Invocation was by the Rev. L. Z. Johnson, of the faculty. The anthem "Omnipotence," by Schubert, was sung by the university choir. There was scripture reading and prayer by the Rev. W. C. Gordon, of the faculty. The sermon by the president was followed by an anthem "Sanctus," by Goundn, sung by the university choir. Then followed benediction and recessional.
WILMINGTON, Del. — (CNS) The report emenating from Hampston that Allison W. Davis, instructor at Hampton Institute, on leave in Germany, and his wife, formerly Miss Elizabeth Stubbs of this city had not been heard from for the past two months and were in grave danger in Germany, is denied by Mrs. J. B. Stubbs, Mrs. Davis's mother. According to Mrs. Stubbs, Mr. and Mrs. Davis who are students in Berlin, were treated more cordially in Germany than in England, and although they have witnessed many Nazi demonstrations, they have had no cause for fear.
RICHMOND TO GET NEGRO ASSISTANT SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Colored Heads of Schools to Be Appointed as Whites Die or Resign
RICHMOND, Va.—Coming fast on the heels of the demise of Albert H. Hill, white, veteran superintendent of the Richmond public school system, was the announcement that a Negro will be named assistant principal of Moore Street School, to serve under H. C. Carlton, aged present white principal of the school who will probably be retired at the end of the 1933-34 session.
Mr. Carlton has been in poor health for several years. Due to the fact that he is at present practically incapacitated, Richmond colored citizens were inclined to believe that he would be retired at the end of the past session.
The present action by the school board, at the behest of the assistant superintendent, is described by some as a "tiny sop of gravy to quiet the clamor of colored citizens for principals of their own color."
Persons Not Selected
The appointment of an assistant principal at Moore Street is the only action expected to be taken this year, barring the death or resignation of one of the present white principals, in connection with the school board's promise to place Negro principals in the schools for Negro children when the whites die or resign.
All of the white principals who have heretofore held positions in Negro schools, together with their assistants, have been reappointed for the 1933-34 session.

Too Much Nursing
Speaking recently at the Western Uni-
versity Club, in New York City, Dr. Robert
Maynard Hutchins, president of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, said, as reported in the
New York Times:
“To develop the educational aspects. of
the English system, with separate faculties,
“separate libraries, and to some extent sep-
arate courses of study, is far too expensive
for the West. i :
“The direction which higher education
take there, particularly in the metro
Pollan universities, seems more likely to be
toward the Continental and Scottish scheme,
under which little effort, is made to arrange,
supervise or control the living habits of
students, and the entire attention of the in-
stitution is devoted to giving them the best
teachers that can be found.
“Any such development in the West will
require of course some changes in the atti-
tude of our constituency. Higher learning
in America now calls for a large amount of
nursing. Universities have developed the
idea in parents or parents have forced it
‘upon the universities that the institution is
in some way responsible for the moral, xo-
cial, physical and intellectual welfare of the
student. This is very nice for the parents;
it is bad for the universities, for besides
eine expensive, it deflects them from their
main task, which is the advancement of
knowledge.
“Parents whose children have neither
character nor intellectual interest should
keep them at home or send them to another
Kind of institution. Whatever may be the
responsibilities of a college, a university is
not a custodial establishment, or a church,
or a body-building institute. If it were
free to stop behaving as though it were it
‘would be a better university.”
The strictures of Dr. Hutchins applies
with double force to our own institutions of
learning, This is reflected in the fact that
up until the present it has been taken for
granted that our college presidents must be
first of all ministers, at least; if bishops,
all the better.
‘There is of course no reason why a
preacher may not also be an educator, but
the latter qualification is usually treated as
secondary jf not actually inconsequential,
‘Many, maybe all, of our deans of men and
deans of women, preceptors and precep-
tresses are estimable and worthy persons,
but the fact that such are needed, if they
are, in a college is evidence that the insti-
tution has, or the administrators think it
has, persons on its rolls who have no busi-
ness in its classrooms,
In Scotland and on the Continent, espe-
cially in Germany, no such functionaries
are known; and even if the moral atmos-
phere in those schools is less wholesome—
though there is no evidence that it is—the
intellectual influences and results are ad-
mittedly far higher,
Dr. Carter Woodson insists that we imi-
tate in our schools and colleges what others
are doing, or better said, have done. Why
could not our colleges lead the way by clear-
ing out all the students who need watching
and coddling? Such a procedure is coming
oon, in fact is in use, partialiy, in Dr.
Hutchins’s own school. Why can't we be
in the van?

not only inflamed the hatred of the South
for the North, but, making the freedom of
the Negro the justification of that invasion,
it kindled the first flames of enmity between
the races.”
Now this gabble about the “invasion” of
the Northern armies being responsible for
the present-day oppression and exploitation
of the Negro in the South is old stuff.
Of course this kind-hearted Baptist ex-
pastor has probably brought himself to be-
lieve in his theory; but inasmuch as both by
the teachings of history and by the testi-
monies of our grandparents—slave and free

decades preceding the Civil War, we know
that the rigors and cruelties of slavery grew
steadily worse, and that laws, decisions and
practices were bent more and more toward
riveting the chains on our ancestors? limbs.
‘The Dred Scott decision preceded the “‘in-
vasion” of the South by a scant five years.
Tt would be an achievement for any of the
persons with the faith, hope, or charity of
Dr. Jenes to point to some indication that
the South—which was of course dominated
by the slaveholders—was showing any signs
of relenting in its evident determination to
hold on to the institution of slavery and
even force it into the free West and North.
Perhaps after the Civil War matters
might have been better managed—and
would have been had the South courageous-

A Bit of American Hitlerism
Although colored folk jn common with the
rest of the citizenry have, rejoiced to see
President Roosevelt taking the lead in a
vigorous effort to put the nation and the
civilized world on the road to better things,
yet it was with deep regret and chagrin
that they noted his slip of two weeks ago
in his request of Congress to give him per-
mission to name a governor for Hawaii who
may not be a resident of the islands.
In stating reasons for asking a change in
the law, he was not as frank as is his wont
to be. He put the matter on the ground
that it is “particularly necessary to se-
lect..,a man of experience and vision who
will be regarded by all citizens of the is-
Jands as one who will be absolutely impar-
tial in his decisions on matters as to which
there may be a difference of local opinion.”
The Massie case, though seemingly in
deference to American prejudices handled
by the Hawaiian governor as leniently as
decency could be stretched to permit, has
apparently given rise to a fear that another
such might not be dealt with by some future
governor so cravenly.
Nowhere under our flag is there so little
color or race prejudice as on these islands,
nor such an inextricable mixture of white,
yellow, black and brown, living, working
and intermarrying together; and it is that
very cosmopolitanism that excites the male-
‘yolent wrath of the one hundred per centers
here.
‘Although the President’s measure re-
ceived a set-back in the’ House this week,
it is quite likely to pass the Congress fin-
ally,
It is hoped that even if the proposed
change in the law prevails, that Mr. Roose-
velt will not avail himself of the privilege
of slapping. the Hawaiians—an inferen-
tially all colored and mixed peoples—in the
face, ‘
He has in other cases admitted making
errors. It is hoped that he will do like-
wise in this case which smacks of Hitler-
ism.
Nor “Color”
Brigadier General Charles Sherrill, the
United States delegate, arrived in Vienna
the other day ‘to attend a meeting of the
International Olympic Committee.
One of the chief questions to be discussed
was Germany’s reputed refusal to permit
any Jews of that nation to compete in the
games, which are scheduled to take place
in Berlin, in 1936.
Tt was'assumed that Germany would not
attempt to bar Jews that were representing
any other nations, but Gen. Sherrell said
the Germans would be compelled to let down
the bars for their own also or the games
would probably be moved to some other
place.
‘The President of the international com-
mittee, Count Henri de Baillet-Latour, re-
quested the general to make a report on
the American view. A cablegram to the
American Olympic Committee brought this
reply:
“The American Olympic Committee feels
that no amateur should be barred from the
ames because of race, creed or color.”

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1983
a
Kelly Miller Says
Material Outlookfor
June Graduates is
Very Gloomy
Higher Education for Negroes Will
Justify Itself Only in Self Sacrific-
ing Service.
By the time this release is in print the com-
mencement mill will be grinding out graduates.
About two thousand colored students will re-
ceive collegiate or professional degrees. during
the month of June. “What are these graduates
going to do?” constitutes the great consuming
‘question. i
‘There are estimated to be two million Negro
unemployed. These are distributed among
the whole range of listed occupations from the
bottom of the scale to the upper rung of pro-
fessional service.
Teaching and ‘medicine absorb’ the greater
portion of Negro graduates. There will prob-
ably be fewer vacancies in the teaching ranks
this year than at any time since pedagogy be-
gan to assume professional rank. ‘There will
be few attractive openings in the medical pro-
fession. Those already in the practice are
experiencing great difficulty in keeping up the
practice on the former scale of living.
The pulpits which at best receive only a
moiety of collegiate graduates will experience
greater difficulty this year on account of re-
duced circumstances among the people who
‘must furnish the wherewithal. It is needless
to mention the law and other scattered pro-
fessiona! pursuits which~are furnishing a bare
subsistence for those already enrolled.
PROSPECTS ARE NOT ;
‘ENCOURAGING
_, And so the ambitious June graduates of 1933
face a rather gloomy prospect. We are all
hoping and praying for the ushering in of bet-
ter times, But no one of less than the tradi-
tional Hoover optimism now dreams of the re-
turn of the good old days of twenty-nine,
The most serious question which we should
now be pondering is what will be the place of
the Negro in the new order of things which
seems certain to be ushered in, and how is his
present educational machinery calculated to
adapt him for that place?
|, Our scholastic programs were planned on
‘the old New England classical mold. The
Hampton-Tuskegee regime caused great re-
‘adjustment in these programs. The coming
‘and going of the World War caused still great-
jer reshaping to meet the exigencies of the
‘changed outlook of affairs.
Whatever the future may have in store, we
‘ean hardly'think of the time when well edu-
cated ministers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, and
the like, will ‘not be demanded in requisite
numbers. But what was once the main task
thas now become the incident of education.
‘Men of light and learning will be in demand to
equip the whole sphere of service and leader-
‘ship. Herein the Negro college is sadly out of
‘step with the requirements of the age,
NONE OF US ABLE TO
PROSECUTE PURE RESEARCH
pase Necro mea duala manent surcies pee
fession finds little or no place to utilize or ex-
ploit his education. There is no leisure class
among us who are able to prosecute learning
and research for the pure love of it. The
Negro graduate must first make a living and
a career afterwards, Finding no remunerative
opening he will be forced to fall back on the
lower levels of service which serve to discredit
the learning which he is supposed to have ac-
quired.
We may look to see Negro masters of arts
waiting table and doctors of philosophy as
Pullman porters. If such benumbing pursuits
but served to spur their desire for the pursuit
of truth and knowledge, it might be pleasing to
contemplate even these things, but, alas, they
are more likely to have a benumbing effect and
to chill to the freezing point zeal and ambition
for the pursuit for pure and unalloyed learn-
ing.
OLD SACRIFICIAL SPIRIT
ALL BUT KILLED
‘The rise of the economic motive and the in-
dustrial spirit injected into Negro higher edu-
cation by the progress of events has all but
killed the sacrificial spirit which the philanthro-
pists sought so hard to instil. The salary is
the ideal sought after rather than the service.
The Presbyterian ministry among Negroes
represents today the best illustratioh of sacri-
fice and unrewarded devotion among educated
Negroes. Look around and you will see this
principle exemplified in all parts of the coun-
try,
If the higher education of the Negro is to
justify itself in the future, it will not be in
connection with money making opportunities
but rather in connection with self-sacrificing
service. If the big idea shall be, not, how much
money can I earn? but, how much service
can I render? then the field opens up with
unlimited bigness. Never was the harvest field
whiter nor the qualified laborers fewer than
today, But the zeal must be for the labor
rather than the hire,
DEPRESSION IS TEACHING
VALUE OF POORLY PAID SERVICE
The nation-wide depression is teaching the
genuine value of sacrifice and poorly remuner-
ated service, All must work for less than
hitherto. The future promises less and less
rather than more and more. Our talented
tenth must be taught the value and advantage
of service to others rather than to self, Im-
bued with this spirit there can never be too
many educated men and women. But if the
job-objective be the end of education and if the
Value of service is to be appraised by the pay
check, then the more education we get the
greater will become the disappointment and
vexation of spirit. =
‘Our colleges\and universities will have to
readjust their programs so that our graduates
Will be sent out into the world with the re-
quisite spirit of sacrifice and devotion to re-
cruit the service line, with or wthout hope of
material reward. Thus the bread line will be
yobhed of ite terror.’

“Is an education worth strug-
gling for?” asks a current maga-
zine, and the question starts a
whole train of thought.
It’s according to what you mean
by education. If you mean that
after spending a few years in school
and being handed a little piece of
paper, you think you're educated,
then the answer is decidedly, “No,
it isn’t worth struggling for.” For
the knowledge obtained from books
‘is only one-half of a man’s éduca~
tion—the minor half. If he has
been wise and read the right kind
of books, then he is prepared for
‘acquiring the rest of his education
from life, For, to be truly edu-
cated one must live; must learn
from life as well ax from books,
and suffer and struggle in doing so,
Is it worth it?
Are the facts we learn from life
worth the price we pay to get
‘them? Well, you see, that depends
‘on you, too. ‘If they teach you les-
sons which you can’t forget; if they
help you to live a finer, cleaner,
more “serviceable life; or if they
help, you to find yourself; then
aa worth any price. If your
education makes you more tolerant
and sympathetic toward those you
‘come in contact with, then ‘it’s
worth putting yourself out a little
to get it. If you get out of it more
or as much as you expected of it
and put into it then it’s worth the
price.
And it is true that with formal
‘education—as with most things in
life—we appreciate those that, it
was the hardest to get and that
cost us the most whether in pain
or mere dollars and cents,
is an education worth struggling
for? It is, if you remember that
all any education or any school ever
attempted to do was to prepare you
to meet life when the time comes,
intelligently and without flinching.
Edueaion consists not in how much
you can acquire from books, but
how well you can use that which
you do acquire in facing the fu-
ture.
If your education gives you poisa,
courage and determination and
teaches you how to use your eran-
ium, then it is decidedly worth
struggling for. If it doesn’t help
you do these things, then you've
wasted both your time and your
energy and whatever else it might
have cost you to get it.

He represented the Maryland, Delaware and District of Columbia area. Nearly 400 delegates composing the legislative body of the association for three days wrestled with questions of balanced budgets, more liberal membership provisions, and all of the other questions which at this time perplex Y.M.C.A's.
Only two other colored delegates were in attendance. Dr. Scott reports: Principal W. R. Valentine, of the Bordentown (N.J.) Normal and Industrial Institute, and Principal J. F. Lane, of Lane College, Jackson, Tennessee. College Commencements prevented Dr. John Hope, Dr. Robert R. Moton, Dr. N. W. Dogan, and other outstanding members of the Council from attending. Dr. C. H. Tobias, National Secretary of the Colored Department, became ill on the eve of the meeting, and had to forego being present.

CARNIVAL AT MINER

Farm" at Cheyney, Pa., with and Mrs. George M. Jones, w conduct a large farm for for boys. Congressman and Mrs. Priest will spend several days the farm after Congress adjourn and before they leave for the home in Chicago.
the carnival had all of the features which would appeal to everyone. There was bridge in one large room, and fifty prizes were donated for the successful winners. Down the hall several young women managed the jig-saw puzzle room, where four were assigned to a table with first prize going to the table finishing first. Of course the first prize meant four individual prizes. As one toured around he caught strains of dance music from the gym calling the dancers; above and over this could be heard the insistent cry of the "freak show" barker. Clever and amusing was this and so attractive that guests had to enter in relays. Turning again one saw a long line impatiently waiting to enter the "fortune telling" tent and far past the closing hour people were begging to be admitted.
In the main hall a group of plays, skits and gym stunts exceedingly well done caught the fancy of hundreds for these clever players, dancers and gymnasts played to a full assembly hall, and with all these other features well filled, an estimate of the audience is not difficult to get. Handierrafts, inexpensive and serviceable found many a purchaser, and appealing knick-knacks were in evidence. In the audience were seen the superintendent of schools and many other officials and friends of the college.

From the Pittsburgh Courier
NEW YORK.—Declaring that he will talk Communism, preach Communism, and do everything he can to advance the cause of Communism, the Rev. Adam C. Powell, Jr., assistant pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church with a congregation of 5,000, came out flatly as a Red at a big mass meeting held in the Park Palace.
Assuring his Communist auditors that the doors of the Abyssinian Church would always be open to them, the young minister said: "You can come there and say anything you want to say. That day when you can no longer come there and meet and protest and demonstrate in a peaceful manner, that is the day I walk out with you."
"I don't mind being called a Communist." Rev. Mr. Powell continued. "The day will come when being called a Communist will be the highest honor that can be paid to any individual—and that day is coming soon."
A Fight for Justice
Calling Communism a fight for justice and happiness for all of the people, he declared, "Those we have put in political office have betrayed
us...Are you willing to give all until others achieve what they should have?" Young Rev. Powell recently graduated from college and has been making a strong bid for leadership in the community allegedly as a stepping stone to political office. He has been very active in leading the fight of the disgruntled doctors and Communists on the Harlem Hospital. The Rev. A. Clayton Powell, his father, and the pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, was Republican Presidential elector last November. Many members of the Abyssinian Baptist Church do not share the enthusiasm of the Rev. Mr. Powell for Communism and have openly expressed their disapproval. The congregation consists of Republicans and Democrats. So far as is known, no Communists belong to the church, since almost all Communists are atheists.
The Park Palace meeting was held under the auspices of a Communist organization. Among the other speakers were Joseph Brodsky, Red attorney, and A. J. Muste, of the Conference for Progressive Labor Action.

RECIPES FOR HOME AND CLUB AFFAIRS
By GERTRUDE C. FRAZIER
This food page is conducted with the intent of offering recipes that have been tried and found to be wholesome, quickly prepared, and economical. You are invited to send in your favorite recipe, or letters of interest to the housewife.
All Kinds of Liver Valuable in Diet
All kinds of li er have about the same food values, but pork, beef, and lamb liver are, as a rule, cheaper than calf liver. Properly cooked they may be made equally tender and delicious. The liver of any kind of fowl is also valuable, particularly for the children. In the animal body the liver serves partly as a storage organ, and therefore contains an abundance of food substances not found in other meat. It is especially rich in iron and copper which are needed for the building of red blood corpuscles. It is one of the richest sources of vitamin A, is a good source of vitamin G, and contains some vitamin B. Like other meats, it has a high percentage of protein. In recent years science has discovered that liver is valuable for certain types of anemia, and of course, in the everyday diet it is a useful and economical meat.
The usual method of cooking liver is to broil or saute, it, sliced. Liver may be very easily overdone, however by boiling it a little too long or by using too much heat. Cook tender, fresh liver long enough to take away the red color. Liver with a less delicate flavor and texture tastes better if scalded first, although some food value is then sacrificed.
You can serve sliced liver broiled with bacon, sautéed on onions, in a milk gravy, braised or baked. Ground or chopped liver may be used in creamed liver, liver hash, liver and rice leaf, liver croquettes, scalloped liver and potatoes, or scalloped liver and whole wheat. Lier salad may be made of chopped cooked liver, raw cabbage and onions.
Liver makes a good sandwich filling for the school lunch box. Grind it up and mix it with sage, or some other seasoning.
There are two good ways of making good cookies in a hurry, drop cookies and in ice box cookies. Either one is rolling the dough out on a board and cutting each cookie out separately. No doubt you often found, too, that in doing so, too much flour was worked into the dough, so the cookies turned out dry and "bready." Soft-dough cookie recipes can be baked as drop cookies, as in the recipes that follow for orange drop cookies, oatmeal drop cookies, and peanut crisps. The Bureau of Home Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture has tested the recipes below:
2 tablespoons grated orange
2 tablespoons grated orange rind
4 tablespoons butter
Cream together the grated orange rind, butter, and sugar. Add the well-beaten eggs and orange juice, and the flour, baking powder, and salt, which have already bean sifted together. Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet and bake in a moderately hot oven (375° to 400° F.) for about 10 minutes.
Oatmeal Drop Cookies
½ cup fat
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1½ cups sifted flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon soda dissolved in 1 teaspoon water
1½ cuts fine outmeal

QUICKLY MADE COOKIES
FOR THE KIDDIES
Orange Drop Cookies
4 tablespoons orange juice
2 cups sifted flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt.
½ cup chopped nuts
1 cup seedless raisins
Cream the fat and sugar, and add the beaten egg. Sift together the dry ingredients, except the oatmeal and add with the milk to the first mixture. Add the soda and water, and then the oatmeal, nuts and raisins. Mix well. Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet and bake to a golden brown in a moderately hot oven (375° to 400° F.). Remove from the pan while hot.
Peanut Crisps
1 cup finely chopped, peanuts
½ cup sifted flour
$ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon ammonia extract.
Mix the peanuts, sugar, flour, and salt thoroughly.
Beat the egg whites until stiff, add the flavoring and fold into the first mixture. Drop by small spoonfuls well apart on a greased baking sheet.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned, in a very moderate oven (about 325° F.).
Or you can use the recently discovered "ce box" method with any of the stiffer doughs. You just mix the cookie dough by the standard method, and then shape it into rolls as large around as the cookies are to be. Wrap the rolls of cookie dough in waxed paper or damp cloths, and let them stand in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight until they are thoroughly chilled. Then, with a sharp knife, slice of the cookies as thinly as you want them, and bake. Ginger cookies, sugar cookies, any standard recipe for roll-out cookies can be handled in this way.
Sandwiches for Hasty Meals
When there are bits of leftover ham too small to serve, put them through the food grinder together with a small onion, half a green pepper and one hard-cooked egg Mix with salad dressing and use as filling for sandwiches, toasted, if liked.
Chopped Roast Beef Sandwiches
Use the small waste pieces left from a roast; to one cupful add a little chopped onion, salt, peppers and enough fresh horseradish to moisten. Spread on generous slices of whole wheat bread.
Ham and Tomato Sandwich
Take one cupful of chopped ham,
one teaspoonful of minced parsley,
a pinch of mace, a few drops of
lemon juice, one-half cupful of butter,
a bit of garlic or onion. Rub
the bowl with the garlic and mix
all the ingredients together and
spread on rounds of bread between
which place a slice of ripe tomato.
Chicken-Ham Sandwich
Work into four ounces of fresh butter two teaspoonfuls of curry powder, half a teaspoonful of lemon juice and one-fourth teaspoonful of salt; blend to a smooth paste, adding a few drops of onion juice. Let stand where it will keep soft. Butter slices of bread, lay on a thin slice of ham, then a thin slice of chicken. Put on a slice of buttered bread and press together. Cut any desired shape.
Deviled Ham and Cucumber
Bandwich
Take a small can of deviled ham, mix with mayonnaise to moisten or use French dressing. Cover one slice of bread with cucumber and the other with the ham. Press together and cut into triangles.
Roast Beef Sandwiches
Dip thin slices of roast beef into heavy French dressing to which finely chopped onion has been added. Place on thinly sliced buttered bread of wheat or rye and garnish with a slice of sour pickle.

Ovenized rams
Ovenized ham is a modern process used instead of the smoke-house treatment. The hams are placed in an oven heated with steam and smudged by sawdust. This treatment produces a similar effect to that formerly given by the smoking process.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Gum may be removed from clothing with gasoline. Clothes may be whitened by adding lemon rind to the boiling water. A small quantity of cornstarch mixed with salt will keep it from forming lumps. Use warm water for sprinkling clothes. They absorb it easier. Let spinach stand in warm water a few minutes to loosen the dirt.
BEAUTY HINTS

GRACEFUL HANDS
Any woman may double her charm by making her hands graceful. First, of course, they must be immaculately groomed, and then they should be given grace by messaging the joints night and morning with a mixture of benzoin and glycerine.
CRUDE OIL FOR THICK HAIR
One may use very expensive hair tonics and yet not make the hair half so thick and luxuriant as it will be after using cheap "crude oil." Try this and see:
Massage crude oil into the scalp at night and tie up with a thick towel. In the morning saturate the scalp with olive oil, then shampoo the hair. Repeat this treatment twice a week and your hair will improve wonderfully.

CHARLESTON, W.Va—The Su-
Peeme Court of Appeals of West
Virginia confirmed the decision of
the Circuit Court of Kanawha
County. in the Greenbrier lynching
tases, in which the circuit court
awarded $5,000 damages to the ad-
thinistrators of the estates of Tom
Jackson and George Banks, who
‘were lynched in Greenbrier County
Over a year ago.
Suit was brought by the admin-
istrators in. the circuit court of
Kanawha County, although the
lynchings took place in Greenbrier
County. Greenbrier filed demurrer
to the declarations of the plaintiffs,
alleging that Kanawha County cir-
euit court did not have jurisdiction.
*The Supreme Court held that
suits under the Capehart anti-lynch
Jaw could be brought in any county
in the state. Prosecuting Attorney
White represented Greenbrier
County, and T. G. Nutter and Sam
D. Lopinsky, represented the es-
tates,
i Act Constitutional
~ After the Supreme Court decided
that Kanawha County had jurisdie~
tion, Greenbrier County, filed de-
mnurrer questioning the constitu-
tionality of the Capehart act. Bur
the lower court declared the act
constitutional and awarded dam-
ages in the sum of $5,000 in each
vase, from which verdict the cir-
chit court of Greenbrier County
sought to appeal, On Monday, May
29, the Supreme Court handed down
® decision refusing to review the
action of the circuit court, thereby
confirming the ruling that the act
‘was constitutional.
‘These suits were brought under
the Calshisrt set, of which Harry
J, Capehart, now assistant U. S.
district attorney for Southern West
Virginia, is he author. The law
was passed hy. the legislature in
1921, Tt was drawn after the sta-
tutes of Ohio and Tlinois and pro-
vides that “the country in which a
person is charged with crime, and
wherein such person has been taken
from a state, county or municipal
officer and lynched and put to
death, shall be subject to a for-
feiture of five thousand dollars
which may be recovered by appro-
priate action therefor, in the name
of the persongl representative of
the person put to death, for the use
of his dependent family or estate.
Such action may be brought in any,
state court.” The latter part of
the act was hotly contested by sev-
eral members “of ‘the legislaure
when it was being considered in
1921, But the colored members,
Mr. Capehart, and 'T. G. Nutter
succeeded in defending that par-
ticular section, and the act was
passed with very stringent provi-
sions.
Stringent Law
‘The Capehart law ‘really has
more teeth in it‘than either the
Ohio or Ilinois ‘statutes, not only
imposing a penalty on the county
in which a lynching takes place,
but also providing for suit against
the officer in’ the, event he is negli-
gent in protecting a prisoner.
‘These suits have been watched
with a great deal’ of interest by
citizens ofthis state as well as oth-
er sections of the country, and the
Supreme Court of West Virginia is
being commended by citizens every-
where.
Besides the attorneys named, J.
M. Ellis, of Oak Hill, one of the
first Negroes to sit in the West Vir-
ginia legislature, also participated

FREE-TOM-MOONEY
MEETING CALLED
FOR SUNDAY
The Washington Scottsboro Ac-

of some young persons who. feel
that the time has come when Ne-
groes should be more. responsive
to gross miscarriages of justice, re-
gardless of whether the victims are
colored or white, is sponsoring a
Free Tom Mooney meeting at the
John Wesley A.M.E, Zion Chureh,
Fourteenth and Corcoran Streets,

Tom Mooney was convicted and
sentenced to death in San Francis-
¢o, California, February, 1917, on
a ‘charge of. first degree murder
growing out of the bomb explosion
which killed nine people and
wounded forty during the prepar-
edness parade in San Francisco,
July 22, 116, ‘The Mooney case
has since become a national scan-
dal.
One of the sponsors of the meet-
ing said:
“A miscarriage of justice which
affects a white man one day can
affect x Negro the next day. In
1916 it was Mooney and Billings
in California, In 1981 and 1933 it
was the Scottsboro boys in Ala-
ama, No citizen, black or white,
can remain silent while gross mis-
carriages of justice continue in
‘America, ‘Tom Mooney might
have been free long since, but he
has steadfastly refused to accept
anything less than q complete, un-
conditional pardon. He places prin-
‘ciple above freedom."

guarded by police on foot and mo-
toreyeles. The motor cycle officers
brought up the rear of the parade
and the ustal plan of the police to
gas. the marchers with heavy
smoke from their mounts failed as
the wind blew the gas away from
the men, women and childven in

three instances here recently where

colored men who were innocent of
any crime. :

PRESIDENT LOSES
W HOUSE ON HS
HAWAIIAN BLL
President Roosevelt suffered his
first defeat in the House of Repre-
sentaives here on Tuesday when the
House refused to suspend the rules
and approve the administration-
suppoi inkin bill providing
that the Gostine of Hawaii need
not necessarily be a,resident of the
islands.
The vote of 222 to 114 was two
short of the required two-thirds
needed to suspend the rules.
Laying the defeat to “two men
from my own state voting against
me,’ Representative Rankin of Mis~
sissippi said that he would ask the
rules committee for a special rule
allowing passage by a majority
vote.
Twenty: Democrats and four
Farmer-Laborites-voted with the
Republicans against the bill. .Rep-
resentative Kvaie of Minnesota, the
fifth Farmer-Labor member. ‘was
absent. Representative Dunn.
Democrat of Pennsylvania, voted
present, Representative James of
Michigan and Christianson of Min-
nesota, Republicans, voted with the
Democrats,
‘On May 22, President Roosevelt
‘sent a special message to Congress.
urging early passage of a measure
“temporarily suspending: that part
of the law whieh requites the Gav-
ernor of Hawaii to be a resident of
‘the islands,” to the end that he
might seleet for the post, from the
mainland or the islands, “a'man of
experience and vision. who will be
regarded by all citizens of the is-
Jands as one who will be absolutely
impartial in his decisions on mat-
ters as to which there may be a
difference of local opinion.
Hawaii Not a Possession
Republicans opposed the measure
on the ground that Hawaii is not #
possession of the United States, the
minority report stating:
“Tt is'a fundamental principle of
American government that sover-
cignty is derived from the people,
and that, principle was fully recog-
‘nized in formulating the Organic
‘Act. which set up the sovernment
of the Territory of Hawaii.”
In the, debate the opposition.
charged recourse to “carpet-bag
government” for patronage, violat-
ing “treaty obligations.” Delegate
McCandless of Hawaii, a Lemocrat,
asked:
“What. justification has Congress
for partially disenfranchising the
people of Hawaii?” X
In reply, Representative Rankin
said:
“Conditions in Hawaii have be-
come such that the President. is
asking permission to appoint some
‘one to remedy those conditions.”

Presto, on June 1, Mr. DePriest was informed of a speaking engagement that he had for Cairo, Ill., on June 2. It was impossible to speak at a meeting to endorse his effort in Congress and keep his engagement in Cairo.
The pressure from Illinois prevailed and to Cairo the Congressman went for June 2, and the Washington audience was disappointed.
Representative Hamilton Fish, of New York, was scheduled to speak at this meeting. He was present and delivered his address.
Roy Ellis Praised
Representative James P. Connery, Democrat, of Massachusetts, presided. He paid tribute to Roy Ellis, who works with him on the labor committee of the House. He said:
"There is no better representative of any committee in Congress. He is efficient, able, well-educated, faithful and loyal. I never have to ask him what goes on when I am in Lynn, Mass., or anywhere else for that matter."
Mr. Connery stated that he was surprised that the Negro did not have an organized lobbying group here in Washington. He said every other interest and group looks out for its interest here at the capital and why not the Negro?
Mr. Fish, who was a captain in the famous Negro regiment of New York, during the world war, spoke at length, since Congressman DePriest was absent.
Speaking of Mr. DePriest, he said:
"I came to hear Mr. DePriest speak, and after he had finished then I could add a few remarks. Since the colored people of America have elected one of their own to the Congress of the United States I hope you will not be satisfied by sending just one of your representatives for twelve million colored Americans are entitled to more than one.
"You should not be satisfied to be represented merely by one Congressman. In this government of ours, in a free republic, you are entitled to dozens of representatives elected by your people and the other people living in those districts. In the next ten years at least, I hope you will have three or four members of your group in the House of Representatives probably, one from New York City, one from St. Louis, may be another from Chicago, the big industrial cities of the North." Speaking of Communism and the Negro, Mr. Fish said:
Gives Whack at Communism
"Many of your group have gone over to the revolutionary school at Moscow to learn the revolutionary doctrines and have come back here and have spread them in the big cities, North and South.
"The main reason they have been disappointed after spending this money and time, is that the American Negro, in spite of injustices, in spite of inequalities, in spite of prejudice, is faithful and loyal to his country, and the colored man and woman believes in God and in his church above such proposals, of atheism and communism, which deny God and every religious belief."
In closing he said:
"My message to you is to go forward, asking not charity, but justice and more justice and still more justice as free American citizens until you get every right and any right that every citizen in the United States of America has, in every state in the United States."
Bishop E. D. W. Jones said that it is the purpose of every Negro to see that justice is done. "We would all like to see it a reality rather than a form." Morris Lewis, secretary to Congressman DePriest, explained that he was called by long distance telephone and had to leave to keep an engagement in Cairo, Ill. The meeting was fostered by the National Negro Legislative Council here.
Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University, delivered the commencement address to the 477 graduates of the Maryland State Normal School, at Bowie, Thursday afternoon.

The colored public schools of the District of Columbia held tree planting exercises at the Douglass Home in Anacostia on May 29, when sixteen cedar trees were dedicated to the late Frederick Douglass.
Rayford Logan delivered the principal address on "The Life and Works of Frederick Douglass." He spoke of the paper printed by Douglass by the name of "The North Star." It was called that name because the slaves escaping from the South travelled at night by the North star.

Federal Economy Ax Hits Prosecutor of Gaming Cases
Frank W. Adams, assistant United States attorney in charge of prosecuting gaming cases in the Police Court, will be dismissed on June 30 as a part of the Federal economy program, it was announced last Friday.
Beside Mr. Adams two other assistant U.S. attorneys, both white, will be dismissed at the same time. They are John B. Williams, assigned to the prosecution of liquor cases in the District Supreme Court, and Wilbur N. Baughman, assigned to the prosecution of liquor in the Police Court.
Mr. Adams was appointed to his present post in 1929. He graduated from Howard University Law School in 1925. Following his graduation he was secretary to Judge James A. Cobb, of the Municipal Court. He attended Yale University and spent two years at Dartmouth College.
The District of Columbia Bar Association through its president Augustus Gray, announced this week that the association will write a letter to Leo Rover, United States Attorney, asking that Mr. Adams be retained.
Has Excellent Record
It was pointed out that association is in harmony with the economy program of the government, but Mr. Adams is the only Negro in the office of the United States Attorney and when he is dropped the Negro race will not have a representative on the staff. The record of Mr. Adams was highly prasied by the association. Mr. Adams assumed his office under the Republican administration and it was rumored sometime ago that he was to make way for a Democrat but according to an authoritative source it was disclosed that a further appointment will not be made which will mean that there will be no Negroes in the office of the United States attorney after Mr. Adams leaves. He has an excellent record as a prosecutor of numbers bankers and runners, and other gambling law breakers who came before him.
In a statement to the Tribune this week Mr. Adams said he had not conferred with his chief on his dismissal and refused to comment on the report hat his dismissal was a part of the Democratic regime to oust Republicans. On leaving the police court he plans to resume his law practice with offices in the Lewis Building, Eleventh and U Streets, Northwest.

BELL BOY SHOT IN ATTEMPT TO HALT GUN PLAY
After momentarily mistaking two intruders as guests of the Franklin Park Hotel apartments, where he is employed as bell boy, Matthew Logan heroically attempted to prevent gun play, early Thursday morning, and was shot in the elbow by one of the men. While Matthews struggled with one of the men, a shot from a high-powered pistol went through a thin wall, richethotched off a bed post and entered the breast of Leila Morrison, white, as she was lying conversing with her fance, instantly killing her. It was the same shot which wounded the bell boy in the
Mistaken for Guests
As police mapped out the slaying, two white men parked their car in front of the hotel, leaving the motor running. As they entered the hostelry, Matthews, thinking they were guests, arose to meet them. As he realized they were not guests, he followed them to the elevator. As he did so, one of the men turned and thrust a pistol into his ribs and commanded him to take them to the "Morrison girl's apartment." Logan backed away, but the barrel of the pistol was shifted toward his head, with a threat to blow out his brains.
With the gun held to his head, Logan took the two men to the sixth floor, where they forced him in front of them to the door of the apartment, which they seemed to know. Still covering the bell boy, they rapped several times but received no response. Logan moved slightly, and the gun went off. Elmer W. Holland, Jr., 25, white, of the 7700 block of Thirteenth Street, Northwest, a special officer hired to watch homes in the Shepherd Park region, surrendered later in the day to police of the Sixth Precinct, and is said by police to have admitted the shooting. He claimed that he did not know any one had been killed until he stopped at the home of his estranged wife several hours later, and was informed that police were looking for him.

Bishop E. D. W. Jones, Deplores Religious
Appointments of 16 ministers in the Washington district of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church were made by Bishop J. S. Caldwell at its one hundred sixth annual session, which closed last week in Philadelphia. These charges are to be supplied later. There were no important changes.
Appointments
Thursday night, Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of this city, was a guest speaker. He scathingly denounced the present-day functioning of the church and said that a real revival of the old fashioned religion was needed to bring the church back to where it ought to be.
He further stated that he didn't see why there were not even more criminals than there are, because people didn't have as much faith in the new church as they did in the good old days. "Modern times does not change religion. All one has to do is the right thing and nothing can block his way to his seat beside the Almighty." Bishop Jones said. Friday, a report of the Missionaries, Sunday School and Christian Endeavor workers was given to the conference which was received favorably. The evening missionary program was directed by Mrs. Ella J. Caldwell, who reported a successful year in this department.
Eichelberger Present
Saturday was youth's day, at which time the theme for group discussion was "Increase." Prof. James W. Eichelberger, of Chicago, was the principal speaker at the evening session. He pointed out several ways in which the church could help the community and rid it of criminals. He said that most of the child delinquency came from improper environment.

Pantomime Important in the Development of Religious Drama
By Gertrude Parthenia McBrown
There have always been many conceptions of the art of pantomime. Through its long history, we find that the Ancient Greeks, the Italians, the French and the English made their various contributions.
The pantomime received very little attention in America until recent years, and even now the pantomime consists chiefly of the interpretative dance although we are occasionally favored with a few fine presentations in its highest form in the legitimate theatre. "Pierrot," "The Prodigal" and "The Beggar on Horseback" are outstanding examples.
Aside from the entertaining, educational, and religious values of the pantomime, there are also many by-products which are of special benefit to the actor.
Action is the clearest and most impressive form of expression. Pantomime, the language of action, is universal; and one of the oldest arts of the theatre.
Pantomime, or silent drama, so far as speech is concerned, has been defined as "theatrical performances played in the language of action." In the pantomime one registers with facial and bodily expressions all the visible movements by which human emotions and thoughts are revealed.
In the spoken drama we have, not only all facial expressions and bodily action, but also all vocal utterances. Since acting proper includes speech and song, and pantomime does not, one might ask: Why have pantomime; why have silent drama by those who can speak? Is not speech more effective than dumb shows?
Complete Acting
This is perhaps just criticism when we take into consideration the many mediocre sketches acted by those who know little or nothing of the fundamentals of the art of pantomime. The perfect pantomime, however is complete; it is effective in that it is vital and sufficient within itself; it needs no words to tell the story.
While it is true that in the pantomime we do not sense the literary beauty of the play and the charm of the human voice in speech and song, we have music, dancing, lighting and all of the other theatrical accessories of the spoken drama. The pantomime may justly be termed a living pic-
ture, a vision and undisturbed by speech.
Charles Aubert believes that "the principal motive for producing a pantomime is that its rapid and noiseless action causes a very different emotion from the drama, a mysterious emotion akin to that experienced in dreams."
"A painting," he says, "does not speak; statues are silent; yet no one denies the intense charm which pictures and sculpture exert. Therefore, pantomime shall be animated picture., our characters, living statues."
Accuracy of Action
Since the success of the pantomime depends largely on clarity of thought and accuracy of action, the mime's gestures must be sincere responses to mental activities. This is why the study of pantomime is of particular value in perfecting the spoken drama.
The religious drama calls for such depth of feeling and sincerity of emotions that oftimes the actor is better able to interpret the spiritual mood with action rather than with words. "The spectator who sees a more or less intense emotion portrayed by acting, finds himself drawn by the power of the quality of imitation to share and feel himself the emotion of which all signs are shown to him." Those of us who have enjoyed those highly artistic interpretative dances on various themes by Edna Guy, that talented Negro student of Ruth St. Denis know with what fervor she gives her soul and rhythmic body to the music of "Sinner Please Don't Let This Harvest Pass," "Weeping Mary," and "Git on Board, Lil Chillun."
Although we do not hear the rhythm of the words blending with the melody of the songs, our emotions are deeply stirred as we watch the artist while she is interpreting soulfully the haunting music of the slave songs. So thoroughly convincing is this young artist when she appears as the Hindu woman in Strickland's "Devotion," that, despite our Christian tendencies, we too how with the worshipper before the Buddha.
Impassioned Drama
Marmontel says: "The pantomime is even more impassioned than eloquence. The pantomime is action vitalized with feeling, and although there are many technical difficulties connected with the pantomime, it is one of the most expressive dramatic forms when these difficulties are eliminated." It is with this thought in mind that the dramatic club of the Asbury Church, Washington, is turning its attention to the study of the pantomime. Walter Baker's "Bible Pantomimes," "The Talents," "Joseph and His Brothers," "At the Beautiful Gate" and many others are proving interesting. Members of the class are adapting stories and writing pantomimes for out-door production during the summer months.
In selecting pantomimes we must guard against plays in which situations and ideas do not lend themselves to pantomime, interpretation. There are many instances where words are necessary to convey the thought; but for plays within the field, pantomime is most satisfying.
Just here I might say that we must not confuse the various pantomimic forms with the true pantomime. In many of the pantomimic forms we have a reader interpreting the action of the mime. The true pantomime does not need this. It not only conveys its own message as a distinct part of the spoken drama but it also enables the actor to make the best use of the various members of the body to express mental activities and at the same time develops expressive speech. In short, the pantomime develops poise and freedom in expression.
In the words of Aubert: "The pantomime not only offers excellent entertainment, but also aids in perfecting dramatic art through the development of a greater ability to appreciate the necessity of understanding and expressing the thoughts which words convey."

75th ANNIVERSARY OF THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH CLOSED
Has Twenty Members Who Have Been in Church for 50 Years
The seventy-fifth anniversary of the Third Baptist Church and the fifteenth anniversary of the pastor, the Rev. George O. Bullock, closed Monday night with a program in the main auditorium of the church and a reception to the pastor and his wife in the Sunday school rooms.
An outstanding feature of the program, Monday night, was the presence of ten of the twenty members who have been in the church for fifty years or more. A special prayer was offered for these members by the Rev. J. Harvey Randolph, pastor of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church.
50-Year Members Introduced
Mrs. Rebecca Gray, who introduced each of the fifty-year members present, said that the thought came to her in 1917, when a gentleman attending the Sunday school suggested that he hoped to live to see his fifteenth birthday as a member of this church. She began to make inquiries and started a movement to honor the members when they reached their fifteenth year in the church. This has become an annual affair of the church.
The ten fifty-year members present were: Mrs. Louise Holmes, Mrs. Ella Outlaw, Mrs. Mary A. Butler, Mrs. Elizabeth McPherson, Mrs. Sarah Hamilton, Mrs. Francis Loving, Mrs. Ella Smith, Mrs. Annie Parham, Mrs. Annie Kelly and Mrs. Rebecca Jackson.
Those absent were Steven Piedmont, Edward Crump, Ambrose Saunders, Mrs. Carrie Ford, Mrs. Sarah Milton, Mrs. Mary J. Ware, Mrs. L. Saunders, Mrs. Martha Woodfork, and Mrs. Maggie Green.
History of Church Road
The Rev. L. T. Harvey acted as master of ceremonies, representing the Rev. Augustus Lewis, president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, who was absent. Following the opening exercises, the history of the church was given by Samuel E. Milton.
The Lyric Quartette sang two selections. The history of the pastor was read by D. C. Dodson. James Coleman gave the history of the Sunday school. The history of the Christian Endeavor was given by Clarence W. Lewis.
The W. B. L. and S. Quartette rendered a selection. The history of the Missionary Society was given by Mrs. Irene Ewell, after Mrs. Bessie Pettross, who was absent.

BISHOP W. H. HEARD MOBBED IN BFTHFL CHURCH. NEW YORK
Aged Prelate of A. M. E. Body Moves Pastor Despite Protests
NEW YORK (CNA) — In a stormy protest against the high-handed tactics used by heads of the church, several hundred members of Bethel A.M.E. Church at 52 West 132nd Street, mobbed the aged Right Rev. William H. Heard, bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, last Sunday, at the closing session of the district annual conference when he announced that their pastor had been transferred without their consent.
The resentment of the congregation grew out of the fight of a month's duration to retain the services of Dr. Edward A. Clarke, who for four years had been pastor of Bethel. Added to this was the bishop's refusal to see a committee who visited him regarding his failure to make an announcement of the board's decision, at a meeting he's in Newark two weeks ago.
Feeling sure that the announcements would be made at Sunday's session, the church's auditorium was filled to overflowing; the flare-up came when the bishop read off the appointment of Dr. Clarke to a post in New England, and his place here to be filled by Rev. C. P. Cole, of Jamaica.
The congregation booed the announcement and started for the rostrum, mobbing the bishop, who was tossed about like a football until the police arrived and escorted him from the scene. The bishop is 83 years old.
The Rev. Mr. Clarke was at one time a resident of Washington, serving at the time as an examiner in the U. S. Patent Office.
Mrs. Mary Gray Dies
The funeral of Mrs. Mary Gray, formerly of Selma, Ala., was held Saturday at the funeral home of the George B. Clark Undertaking Company. The Rev. J. M. Butler, officiating. Mrs. Gray died at the residence of her granddaughter, Mrs. Ruby Clark, 220 Lowrie Place Northeast, Thursday.
Bundrant, Liberty Baptist. Two ladies were called on, Mrs. E. C. Smith and Mrs. James L. Pinn. Many presentations were made to the pastor and his wife by the various church auxiliaries. The Rev. Augustus Lewis arrived in time to serve as master of ceremonies at the reception. The pastor preached at the morning service; Sunday. The Rev. Daniel Washington delivered the sermon Sunday night. Music was furnished by the choir.

mously to petition the grand exalted ruler to cancel the convention this year. J. Austin Morris, attorney for the Philadelphia lodge, in supporting the movement, said: "I have it on good authority that there are about 15 solvent lodges in the country." In the Quaker City meeting a motion also prevailed to express a vote of confidence in the grand lodge administration in the hope that "such a vote at this time may save the grand lodge from extinction."
It is claimed that men familiar with fraternal procedure ridicule the idea that the grand master cannot call off the convention, regardless of the printed law which states that the body must meet once a year. They point to the postponing of the Odd Fellows and several Masonic conventions last year. They say that if enough lodges petition Mr. Wilson, he can call off the meeting, knowing that each petitioner will sustain his action if the matter should be questioned if and when another grand lodge is held.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (CNS)—“We are-headed West by the Overland Route for the banks of the Wabash and Maumee, beyond the great Ohio,” reads the opening paragraph of Proclamation. No. 5 Series 11, sent out by J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, to the officers and members of the order, under date of June 1.

SCHOOL CLUB ENJOYS ANNUAL OUTING
By the ASSOCIATE ED.
On Saturday, the School Club of Washington held its annual outing at Colton's. President Chas. Thomas and secretary Mattingly announced the outing one of the most healthful and mirtful the club has sponsored.
Arriving at 9 p.m., the club and invited friends breakfasted. Executive Committee-man Henderson declared the order of the day and requested that all inhibitions be checked in at the table.
Mirth, unconfined was ordered for the rest of the day. Games ranging from the most infantile to the more adult forms were provided. Ratings, school rank, titles, dignity, correct English, discussion of social and political reforms were banded.
The leading incidents of the day were as follows:
A fishing trip and boat ride far into the wide waters of the Potomac started activities. Seasoned fishermen like Dr. McDuffie, Dr. Henry Bailey, and F. E. Parks cast forth. Prizes for the largest, smallest and greatest quantity of fish went to Dr. Bailey who caught one perch.
The Fish Feeders
Parks and Dr. McDuffie used seventy cents' worth of bait catching a few toad fish and eels much to their disgust but to the merriment of silent Grant Lucas and loquacious Jack Bruce.
As of yore, E. B. Henderson wa the only Nudist aboard, who disported almost a-la-Nature in the cold river stream. Harold Haynes took a sun bath. Edgar West-moreland, he of ye Indian extraction, snored himself endearingly into the ears of his fellow fishermen.
Modesty of the writer and fear of consequences prevents telling who won and who received honorable mention for telling the most profound and the most audacious lies.
Suffice it to say, with the stories of Referee Jack Bruce, "Oysters growing in a tree," and "Crabs swimming around the base of Peace Monument" in 1849 to his exact memory, no other member qualified for the honor of being dubbed the Munchausen of the trip. Of course many of the stories were referred to the disciples of Jung, Ader, and by no means least if last, Freud, for analysis.
Tales, Stories and—
Poccacelli, Hoffman, and the Arabian nights were undoubtedly sources of many of the yarns sprung by this ambitious crowd of
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JUNE 9. 1933
former newsboys, bellhops, waiters, porters and men of mark in the making.
Ashore at 3 p.m., a bedraggled, mentally exhausted flock of school men heard echoes from the Golden porch where Colonel House was telling a large audience headed by John Nalle, Cato Adams, Howard Long, Garnet Wilkinson, Jimmy Campbell and a host of singing teachers and students. from Howard University how he carried the election and ran the inauguration of the exponent of the new deal in politics.
A number of men went forth to visit the summer cottage and farm abode of the director of the local evening schools and all other unassigned properties and duties of the school system, Clarence Lewis. Some of the members looked in upon the 3.2 beverages sold according to law in this arid section of Maryland.
At dinner, Bishop H—— of last year's christening was redubbed, Colonel Hous—— and assigned to the staff of the Governor of Florida.
Base Bawl
The great annual event, baseball was announced. Captains Houston of the Yanks and Captain Mattingly of the Nats read off their line-ups. To insure impartial outcomes, Captain Mattingly took the position of non-playing captain in charge of the score.
H. Hale Long of the Yanks' team was selected by Houston as ampire, sole arbiter pleni-potentiary. Batteries for the Yanks were: Houston and Wilkinson. Mattingly assigned Henderson and Westmoreland for similar duty.
Aided by the eminently fair, well-trained and all-seeing umpire, Henderson pitched air tight ball for two innings, except for two homeruns, which the unimpire announced as foul after the circuit of the bases had ben made.
Chief among the scorers for the Houston cohorts was Coach Cato Adams who seemed inspired and determined to show that he was all omnipotent in the baseball realm. Reliable Dave helped retrieve the fame of his team by a home run dribbed off his bat under the porch of one of the bungalows to which no fielder could squirm.
Paternal Loyalty
Dr. Bailey, a dutiful father, caught a fly beautifully but suddenly realizing that his son had made a bid for fame dropped the ball and allowed the boy to score. Both Savoys, Kiger, and Walker on opposite teams disproved their wisdom but proved their age. Kiger said his willow was mightier than his limbs. He clouted the ball for homers but scarcely reached first. Walker was on the verge of being banished from the game and fined for disputing Long's claim that Walker had toughed and therefore put out Henderson. Walker said "I did not touch him." Long was with difficulty restrained from punishing such poor sportsmanship.
It was a pleasure to see the grace and promptitude with which Houston, Jack Bruce and Wilk hit the Golden sod when their elusive extremities and spikes failed to hold. Harold Haynes distinguished himself by catching fly balls that rolled off the Golden bungalows.
The final score of the game was 12-3 in favor of the Nats.
High Lights of the Game
Clyde McDuffie, an old ball man, refused to break a life long habit of doing anything strenuous or causing a loss of much energy within six hours after eating.
Umpire Long showed the value of Ph. D. training. He never made a decision until all factors in the environment had been carefully evaluated or weighed. Like a man of thought, he made no momentous decisions for at least 30 seconds after the runner was retired, the play complete or the batsman home.
One man noted for liking to sponsor a losing team (the drill) said that the umpire rivalled Buck Owens for myopic vision and Hitler for obstinacy.
Hueston's speech for co-operation and team-play in which he demanded that for once, his men forget their age and infirmities, was a classic. His denunciation of his team mate, the umpire, was an anti-classic.
Members of the rivals for the day were as follows:
The Yanks: Houston, Wilkinson, W. Savoy, Long, Thomas, Adams, Haynes, Dr. Bailey, Dr. McDuffie, Grant Lucas and Webster.
The Nats: Mattingly, A. K. Savoy, Bruce, Parks Vaughn, Westmoreland, Lewis Campbell, Bailey, Henderson, Nalle, Stafford and George.

Camden Choir Wins at Bordentown; Decision Disputed
BORDENTOWN, N.J.-Camden again took honors in choir music when the Kaighn Avenue Baptist Church choir, under direction of Philip H. Johnson, received the judges' award in the tenth annual choir contest held by the Bordentown School. It was the fifth time that first award had been made to a Camden choir. Eight choirs representing six cities of North and South Jersey competed for the judges' favor, with the junior choir of Bethel A.M.E. Church of Woodbury favored to repeat its last year's victory. The favorites were ranked second, only a point behind their Camden rivals who showed amazing improvement over their last year's performance which landed them in last place in the contest.
Mt. Zion Baptist of Newark, competed for the first time and placed third in the judges' rating. In the Burlington County class, St. Mary M. E. choir of Burlington won over its city rival, Bethlehem A.M.E. choir, for local supremacy. The judges' pronouncement excited vigorous disagreement among many of the competing choirs, and formal protest from two contestants was lodged with the school committee, which was asked to review the decision, not on grounds of the winning choir's quality of performance, but because all the contest rules had not been carried out.
Bortnyanski's "Cherubin-Song" as published by G. Schimer was specified as the contest anthem in the rules. Through an unfortunate over-sight the Camden choir secured copies as published by a different house, and edited differently. Its interpretation in the contest varied accordingly. The judges decided that Camden's showing was sufficiently impressive to justify a decision in her favor; the protesting choirs held otherwise. Absence of Mr. Valentine from the city has prevented any official action by the school committee, but announcement is expected this week.
Besides the choirs mentioned above, three others competed: Friendship Baptist of Bayonne, New Hope Baptist of Hackensack, Union Baptist and St. Mark A.M.E. of Montclair and Bethel Presbyterian of Plainfield.
"Be an Idealist," Says Baccalaureate Speaker at Virginia State
PETERSBURG, Va.—Dr. John M. Ellison, upon whom the degree of doctor of philosophy was recently conferred by Drew University, delivered the fifthth baccalaureate address to graduates of Virginia State College, last Sunday.
Choosing as his subject "The Pioneer Idealist," Dr. Ellison exhorted the graduating classes to take a lesson from the life of the Old Testament figure, Abraham, to whom the Lord said "Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house unto a land that I shall show thee."
"An idealist," said the speaker "is one who is dissatisfied with the world as it is, and who has a vision of a better world that may be. He is one who has drawn an elightened and wise indictment against the world as it stands. He has framed a wise and enlightened program for the world as it should be. He is one who is sick at heart over the iniquity and inhumanity in the world as it is. He has a splendid vision of a new world wherin dwelleth righteousness."
Taking examples from the lives of such "pioneer idealists" as Wycliff of England, Savonarola of Florence, Know of Scotland, Wendell Phillips, Henry Ward Beecher, and Hariet Beecher Stowe, Dr Ellison advised the graduates to follow in their paths.
Dr. Ellison, who is research professor in rural sociology at Virginia State College, has been away from the college for two years to study for the doctorate. He will return to the college next fall.
Morehouse College
ATLANTA, Ga.—Morehouse College has this week embarked on a campaign to raise $10,000. The college needs this amount to meet current expenses, which cannot be covered with the regular income reduced this year through lower returns from invested funds and through a decrease in annual contributions.
If Morehouse can raise $10,000 to complete the year without indebtedness, the college can immediately claim $116,000, which has been promised for endowment when current operating expenses have been met.
Punishment by Proxy
In Germany during the nineteenth century all Princes of the blood had their "Prugelknahen" that is, a boy who was brought up with the young Prince and who was spanked every time the Prince misbehaved.
Editor P. B. Young Speaker at A. & T. Commencement
GREENSBORO, N.C.—The thirty-fifth annual commencement of the Agricultural and Technical College, Greensboro, N.C. was held May 28 through 30, and marked the close of a very successful school year.
P. B. Young, Sr., editor of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, addressed the graduating classes on May 30 on the subject, "Launched, where shall we anchor?"
In introducing Mr. Young, President Bluford stated that he was a North Carolinian by birth and education and that he had come back as editor of one of the largest Negro newspapers in the country, to speak to his own people in his own way. President Bluford further stated that the Norfolk Journal and Guide was a clean and intelligently conservative paper which spoke the truth without fear or favor.
Mr. Young said "There is nothing so destructive as fear, and I cannot conceive of a more proper beginning than to commend to you the words of Edmund Burke: 'Nothing is so rash as fear; and the counsels of cowardice very rarely put off whilst they are always sure to a gravate the evils from which they would fly.' "I do not wish to be revealed as unduly optimistic in these troubles times, but it would be disastrous were we to surrender to a pessimistic state of mind....We must adjust ourselves to a world that has been brought into being by science and industry; a world that reckons efficiency and achievement above personality; a world that exalts work rather than leisure; a world that thinks of groups and organizations more often than its does of individuals."
On Tuesday at ten o'clock a.m. the business meeting of the A. and T. Alumni Association was attended by the largest number of graduates in the history of the association, at which time Prof. S.B. Simmons, supervisor of agricultural education in the state of North Carolina, who had just completed a study of A. and T. College graduates, stated that only 14.6 percent of the A. and T. College graduates were unemployed. The college will run two sessions of summer school this year. The first session is to begin on June 5 and close on July 15 and the second will begin on July 17 and close on August 26.
Alabama State Teachers College
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—With a baccalaureate plea from President H. Council Trenholm that the graduates evidence by their service, by their thinking and by their attitudes that through education they have effectively grown from childhood toward manhood, with an inspiring commencement charge from Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, of Bethune-Cookman College to the graduates to go back to the communities from whence they came and give to others the best they have with the assurance the best will come back to them, and with a warning from State Superintendent A. F. Harman to avoid the common fault of jumping at hasty conclusions before getting all the facts—13 B.S. degree graduate, 1 junior college graduates and 68 high school graduates were awarded their diplomas here at the Alabama State Teachers College on Monday afternoon in the climaxing feature of a brilliant commencement.
Morgan College
The commencement exercises on June 1st closed one of the most successful years in the history of Morgan College in all phases of its activities except financial. Fifty-nine young men and women were awarded the bachelor's degree as follows: 26 bachelor of arts, 15 bachelor of science in education, 17 bachelor of science and 1 bachelor of science in home economics. There were 453 students enrolled during the year, from 17 states, 41 members of the teachers' staff, 9 executives and 9 artisans and workmen.
The fiscal year closed June 30. Various efforts are being put forth by the college and interested friends in order to raise about $17,000 to balance the budget. If success is attained in these efforts, the year 1932-33 will go down in the college history as one of the most memorable in its 66 years of existence.
Some Achievements in Student Activities
The department of speech sponsored an international debate with the team from Oxford University, England. The dramatic club appeared in 14 cities in the East and received the commendations and congratulations of dramatic critics. This club was the winner of the second prize in the annual contest of the Colored Intercollegiate Dramatic Association. The chorus of 60 voices was in constant demand in Baltimore for appearances in churches and at radio stations. The quartet made several tours in Mary, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

WEST VIRGINIA STATE COLLEGE GETS $339,800
Salary Allowance Reduced Negro State Board of Education Created
INSTITUTE, W.Va.—The West Virginia Legislature adjourned its extraordinary session late Saturday night, June 3, after passing the biennial budget bill and many laws covering the complete reorganization of some departments of the state government. West Virginia State College suffered drastic cuts in appropriations like all of the other state colleges and divisions of the state.
The total biennial appropriation granted West Virginia State College amounts to $339,800 and is distributed as follows: for salaries of teachers and employees, $226,000; for current expenses, $72,800; for repairs and improvements, $12,000; and for equipment for the vocational building, $4,000. As a special item the legislature voted the use of $25,000 to the college for the erection of homes for teachers.
The cut in the salary item makes the appropriation for salaries for the next two years $100,000 less than the appropriation granted the college at the last regular session of the legislature. The reduced salary appropriation will force curtailment in the personnel and academic program of the institution.
Dowingtown Industrial School
When a delegation of prominent Negroes of Pennsylvania appeared recently before a committee of the legislature in behalf of the Wassermann Equal Rights Bill, one of the most impassioned pleas was made by Mrs. Maude B. Coleman, of Harrisburg, of the State Welfare Department.
She pointed out the embarrassments she suffered in her official travels over the State as a result of racial discriminations practiced by hotels and restaurants.
Mrs. Coleman has contributed a brief talk for the pageant, "The Negro in Pennsylvania," given at the Downingtown Commencement on June 8. In it she has summariz-

In skill, efficiency, and personality representative of the operators of all of the company's model factories, the twenty-one young women in the group will operate the superhuman fresh work cigar-making machines in the unique White Owl exhibit, the only exhibit of its kind at the World's Fair. In this exhibit the company brings to the sixty million visitors anticipated at the Fair an intimate picture of the most modern method of manufacturing cigars. Two cigar-making machines, an assemblage manufacturing, banding, and packaging machine, and a complete air conditioning system, will be housed in the elaborate General Cigar Co., Inc., building situated on the 23rd Street Plaza.
A. Building of the Century
The building is typically modernistic, in keeping architecturally with the theme design of the Fair as a whole. A graceful, low-lying, one and one-half story structure, it is surmounted by two pylons, which might be called a modern rendering of the prows of the old Viking ships. In its sweeping lines its architects, Loebi, Schlosman and Demuth of Chicago, have captured the spirit of the same time have afforded the passer-by with one of the Fair's most interesting displays.
A large, semi-circular high show window on the East side of the building holds the display which with an arresting freshness of conception, is a modern allegorical mural of our country's achievement. The dominating feature, an architectually correct replica of the dome and roofs of the tower, Screening the lower part of the dome in this panel are banks of clouds and foliage. Blending into the foreground is a suggestion of the landing at the Lincoln Memorial. In the immediate foreground are mirrors representing the Potomac River. Extending from tails to the extremes of the window is a continuous water effect, which blends into the waterfront of San Francisco on the west bank. A cage on the two forewings of the Central section, and of New York on the extreme right. Just behind the waterfront stands actual models.

"These are the days," she says, "when the world is demanding efficiency and meritorious service and the Negro who is well trained and efficient will find new opportunities awaiting him." Evangeline V. James, postgraduate student, basketball star, and leading honor student, was voted the most popular girl at Downing-town and was crowned queen at the Osbon May party on Saturday night.
At the invitation of Repertory Playhouse Associates, Miss Ruffin and Mr. Waring attended a program at the Caruso Theatre in New York on Ma; 28. A play, "You Mus' Be Bo'n Agin" by Andrew Burris, was presented in the interest of the Negro Repertory Company.
At the faculty meeting on Wednesday, six scholarships were awarded for 1933-34. One of $50, given by the academic teachers, went for the second time to Alfred Webster, 10th grade; $25 each was given to Booker T. Cr ver, 9th; Harry H. Jackson, 10th, for "Most Co-operative Extra-Curricular Activity"; John I. Reid, 10th, "Most Dependable and Trustworthy Student"; Samuel T. Taylor, 7th, and Gladys T.

A.M.E. Church Withdraws Support from Western U.
KANSAS CITY, Kans.—(CNS)
—The A.M.E. Church, trustee board of Western University has withdrawn the church's support from the university and voted to close the doors of the church side of the school. This action is to take effect immediately and results from the appointment of W. T. Vernon by the state board of trustees as superintendent of the industrial department.
Governor Landon was notified about two months ago-that if Bishop Vernon, who is under suspension by the General Conference of the A.M.E. Church, was appointed by the state trustees, the church's support would be withdrawn.
Bishop Vernon was the head of the university for many years, prior to his election as bishop.

of the principal landmarks and

A Dramatic Story
The two side sections of this enormous display window hold a unique, dramatic story of the planting, harvesting, curing, and conditioning of the tobacco which goes into the cigar curing. Two huge color discs emergent from the skylines of San Francisco and New York reveal the story. At regular intervals they glow with color; on their faces appears a series of twenty-four pictures, each with a different evolution of tobacco seed to finished cigar. Over the entire display, lighting effects are unique and startling, with the entire color blending through the whole spectrum. On the completion of the cycle of pictures a red arrow loops back and inking unobstructed to step inside and see how White Owl are made.
The interior, in fixtures, furnishings, and atmosphere, is in complete harmony with the exterior. Seventy-five feet long and thirty feet deep, it is planned to facilitate a comfortable space that they may enjoy a leisurely inspection of the superhuman cigar-making machine and its crew in action. A complete air conditioning-system will provide a cool and uniform temperature during summer months. In addition to the cigar-making building, comfortable lounge room for visitors.

A. Cooke, of Armstrong, is
named at first base on the first
team. He was a steady but wot
brilliant fielder, and improved in
his batting greatly over last year.
P. Cooke, -of Dunbar, had one or
two bad days, but was a good man
Be have around the sack. He was
a fair hitter. Thomas, of Dunbar,
was the outstanding second base-
man; a good handler of ground
balls aad a smart base runner, The
second place goes to Hayes, of
Armstrong. He ean hit.
1, Jackson, of Dunbar, gets the
call for short stop by a slight edge
because of his general all around
ability, Harris, of Cardozo, with
strong throwing, is placed on the
second team. He can hit. Clark,
of Armstrong, was easily the class
of the field for third base. He was
the unanimous choice of all the
coaches; a good thrower and fine
hitter. He hit well in clean-up po-
sition. Philips, of Douglass, a
streaky but hard hitter and fairly
good fielder ,is named on the sec-
ond team.
+: The Outfielders
The outfield had a lot of real
class, and it takes class to stand
out in a six-game schedule in the
outer garden, Lucas is placed in
center field, where his fine fieldine
skill would be of the most advan-
tage. Beverly," of Armstrong, a
dandy all-round ball player, is put
in left field, and Brown, of Ar-1-
strong, is stationed in the right
field. “If the boys want to switch
thelr positions it is all right with
me. There was not a batter'in the
Teague that delivered in. the ypinch-
es better than Lucas and Beverly.
For the second team out field,
Peay, of Douglass, Jase of Dunbar,
and Stewart. c° Armstrong, and in
a long season any one, of them
might prove as good ag the best of
the first string,
There were three vutstandi=~
‘catchers—Mathews, Lee and Wil-
son, who ranked in that order.
“Mathews, of Dunbar, possesses a
‘strong throwing arm and is the
most brilliant behind the plate,
while Lee was the steadiest and
smoothest.
| ‘Those Who ‘Toss
Pitching is fifty per cent of base-
ball, and if the truth were told,
there were several pitchers who
were more than fifty per cent of
their respective teams this year.
Cary, of Armstrong; C, Adams, of
Douglass; W. Washington, of Dun-
bar; Shelton, of Cardozo; and Bell,
of Armstrong, were as good as the
conference has had in its history.
Cary, the Armstrong ace, did the
unusual, behind ‘the finest type of
support, pitched a no-run and no-
hit game.
Mathew, of Dunbar, is chosen
captain of the first team, and Lee
of Armstrong, is given’ the cap-
tainey of the second team. Arm.
strong won the conference base-
ball championship and the city se-
ries. Armstrong is the winner of

DEANWOOD BOWS
“TO ANAGOSTI
The Anacostia Athletics turned
in a brace of victories last Sunday
by defeating the Deanwood A. C.,
17-3 and 12-1,
Windy Goodlie, fleet center field-
er of the A.’s, almost had a perfect
batting average by hitting four
times in five attempts, He shared
honors with Bill Reed, who let the
Northeasterners down with six
seattered hits and struck out 10 in
the first game.
‘The veteran Cat Taylor was the
hero of the losers. He made sev-
eral sensational stops at short stop
without an error and hit the only
home run of the game,
In the night cap, Ossie Steward,
of the. A.’s pitching staff, was
touched for only two hits and
fanned seven. Blue Simpson, with
three doubles in four trips plate-
ward, was the outstanding batsman
of the game. The Athletics will
cross bats with the Oriental Tigers
at Anacostia this Sunday in a dou-
bleheader. The first game will be
called at 1 p.m. Call Stanley Smith,
Lincoln 3009, after 5 p.m., for

Although not generally conceded
there are many times in the realm
of sports that a winner is forced tc
sympathize with his vanquishe¢
foe. Often contestants are the bit-
terst enemies on the field of play
yet when the fray is over the ex-
change of confidence is nothing
short of marvelous.
It was during the deciding game
in May, 1928, that I count as one
of the’ occasions that a coach's
problem ean be appreciated by his
‘opponent.
Until about three years ago, high
school coaches had to battle not
only the distance through, some-
times, bad weather to the practice
grounds, with the boys complaining
about “having the get back home
early,” or not having “carfare” or
of having “bad colds” or “bad
shoes,” but coaches, prior to that
time had to face a very formidable
foe, a strict “eligibility rule” which
require dthat a player must pass in
all four or five majors, if he were
to represent his school,
“Getting permission to play, if he
promised to do better work,” was
taboo. May 23, 1928, the then
Coach Duvall Evans at Dunbar
managed to get together one of his
best teams. In this group were
Jackson, ss; Bouglass, 3b; Crich-
low, cf; Brown, ¢;-Daniel, rf; Rily,
If; Anderson, 1b; Gilmore, 2b; and
Rush, p. ‘They “were all’ hustlers
and were determined to bring back
Dunbar's diamond lustre.
But another eager, yet green
group, was up and doing at Tech,
Dabney, Perry and Scott were the
only regulars from the previous
team, and Lynn, who enjoyed such
& prosperous pitching season in
1927, was sporting a “dead” arm
and helping about the infield.
A Scrambled Lot
So, many tried and one after the
other was forced to accept posi-
‘tions in the infield, outfield, or be-
hind the bat, Tech surely present-
‘ed a scrambied lot. Lynn, a pitch-
er, and Queen, a catcher, were bat-
tling for second; Vollin, the best of
the pitching prospects, was shifted
to short'to replace the injured Ern-
est Johnson; Scott, who still swears
that he is a pitcher, was kept at
third; Allen, another catching can-
didate, was placed in sight. because
of his hitting; and “Izzy” Jones
came out for first because every
one else forgot that the team need-
ed a first baseman, A more patched
up lot could be found nowwhere
that year, anyhow.
King, who prior to this time had
never come out for the team, had
had indifferent success in the box,
And strange to say he was the
“least worst” in appearance of
those who warmed up for the pitch-
ing assignment at The Campus.
Dunbar was quick to profit by
the inexperience of King and at the
end of the third inning she enjoyed
a 6-0 advantage.
“Hump” Campbell with a lame
arm (although no one knew it)
went to the box for Tech in the
fourth and held Dunbar scoreless
for three innings. .On the Tech
side during these innings three well
executed rallies brought the score

Dunbar Leads
In the last, the strain told on
Hump and three hits and an error
gave Dunbar an 8-7 lead,
With two out in ‘Tech's last, Per-
ry, who had done nothing up to
this time with the bat, walked;
Johnson, who could just hobble, put
up an easy fiy to right center, and
as Daniel clasped the ball his cen-
ter fielder “took him out” complete-
ly. Over the) rolled, and so did
the ball, ‘The score was tied and
the limping Johnson was on sec-
ond. Edgar Lee was sent into run
for him and promptly stole third.
At this stage Rush committed a
balk and one of the umpires waved
Henderson, batting for Robinson, to
first. I contended that, according
to rules, Lee should score. ‘The
book was appealed to, but the um-
pires did not reverse the decision,
so I announced that we would take
our positions and play under pro-
test. But many of the Dunbar
players, including first baseman
and captain, Anderson, had left the
field thinking that the run had
counted. ;
‘When play was retumed, Dun-
bar did not have nine’ players. on
the field, so the game was declared
forfeited.
The late Newton, Miller, then
chairman of the memorable High
School Games Committee, although
one of the Tech faculty, recom-
mended that the game be played
over. On the play off, Dunbar was
unfortunate to the extent of having
several dependable players at work.
Vollin, pitching his first high
school game, held the makeshift

Physical Education in Negro Colleges and Universities
By JOHN H. BURR
Professor of Physical Education
at Howard University
PART VI.
HISTORY OF OFFICIATING
Up until 1902, officiating at Negro college football games was done entirely by members of the white officials' group. In the main, these officials were football players at nearby colleges.
In 1902, Garnet C. Wilkinson, just graduated from Oberlin College, was engaged in coaching the football, team of M Street High School, where he was teaching, and began officiating in college football games at Howard University.
Mr. Wilkinson was closely followed in order by A. K. Savoy, M. P. Robinson, E. B. Henderson and H. G. Douglass, all of whom were engaged in educational work. Recognition of the work and worth of these men, as football officials, was a thing of gradual growth among Negro colleges. The battle was an uphill one.
To be thoroughly and constantly prepared for this pioneer work, the above named group met regularly for study and discussion of rules and for development of technique.
Rendered Free Service
Until 1910, the services of this group were rendered absolutely without compensation. In 1910, compensation was nominal. Officials from the white group were always more highly paid for their services. "Service" was the motto of the "study group. About 1911, having built up confidence in many quarters and having increased a bit in number, the original study group sought and received recognition by the Central Board of Football Officials, of which Dr. Babbitt, of Haverford College was chairman. Annually thereafter the names of Negro football officials appeared in the Football Guide until the recently policy of not publishing names was adopted
Members of the now more widely known and recognized study group were called upon to serve on the Atlantic Seaboard from Philadelphia to Hampton and as far inland as Charleston, W.Va., Atlanta, Ga., and Tuskegee, Ala. The usual fee was $15 and expenses.
Wilkinson Retires
At the close of the 1919 season, Mr. Wilkinson retired from active service as an official. The rest of the group continued to develop the work which he had thus far advanced. Study groups and individuals interested in becoming football officials began to appear in other quarters. In 1928, the Washington group, with certain officials living in Baltimore and Norfolk, formed the organization known as the Eastern Board of Officials, whose object was "to promote clean sportsmanship through good officiating, observing the rules and giving a fair deal to all, to advise, to render assistance by public interpretation of rules of the various sports." The interest of the group was never confined solely to football. Gradually, from the early days, they took up work in such sports as basketball, baseball and track.
It might be well to mention here that practically all of these men are college trained men, and for the most part, are engaged in educational work. The others are professional men and all stand for something worthwhile in the community.
The Lorton Browns triumphed over the D. C. Eastern Giants by a 3 to 3 decision last Sunday at Lorkon, Va.
The batting of Wolf, of the Brownys, who secured three hits in four trips to the plate, was one of the features of the game.

DRUGGISTS LOSE IN MARYLAND,12-1
Nine Miscues Pave Way to Win of House of Reformation Over Peoples
By DONALD F. WEBB
Scoring four markers in the fourth and eighth frames, the House of Reformation nine buried the Peoples Drug Store aggregation under a 12 to 1 count, Sunday, at Cheltenhan, Maryland.
Twelve bingles rang from the bats of the lads of the "Old Line" state, five of which were good for extra bases, while the Dashington-performers could spank the offerings of Lockkhart for but a quartet of one basers.
Epps started the affair and was knocked from the hill in the fourth when four bingles sandwiched between a miscue and two outs started his downfall. In this same canto the D.C. representatives counted their first and only time during the contest when John Smith received life on Gamble's fumble and pilfered the keystone sack; William Davis sacrificed and Epps punched a single through the box. From then on it was the Reformation lads' game with the Druggists having men stranded on the cushions in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings.
Lockhart, with his burning speed and deceptive curves, permitted but four hits, fanned eleven, passed two and hit one. Epps, William Davis and Thomas together whiffed sixteen of the Maryland lads, passed one, but a faltering defense which committed nine errors was the outstanding factor in the second straight loss of the Washington gladiators. Wilson, Lockhart, Country, Gamble and Gilbert were each credited with two safeties in five trips to the block, while the latter duo slammed a homer apiece. Epps was the lone Peoples's performer to garner two bingles while Valencia checked in after pasting the pellet to right for a one-baser in his only trip to the plate.

NEGROES SING FROM
CHICAGO EXPOSITION
The James A. Mundy Choristers
and Quinn Chapel Choir, famous
100-voice Negro choral group, was
heard over the WABC Columbia
network last Monday from 8 to 8:15
p.m. The singers were heard from
aboard a barge floating on one of
the lagoons at the Chicago Century
of Progress Exposition.
The organization was praised highly after its twentieth annual recital given recently at Orchestra Hall in Chicago. John Burdette, the Negro baritone who created a sensation in "Walk Together, Chillun," was heard as featured soloist.
Rose McClendon, who plays the feminine leads opposite Juano Hernandez in Columbia's twice-weekly series, "John Henry, Black River Giant." has just recovered from an attack of "Stormy Weather." The attack lasted a week. It started right after her doctor had ordered her to bed to overcome a sudden illness, which forced her to miss two episodes of "John Henry." While she lay in bed in her New York apartment, the neighbors turned on their phonographs and radios. Harlem, you know, is where the popular tune, "Stormy Weather" originated. And that was the tune that emanated from the open windows of the neighboring apartment houses. When Mrs. McClendon had recovered sufficiently to get around again, the doctor told her she should take a sea trip.
"That would be a good idea," she said, "except for one thing. Ships' bands always start playing tunes a month or so after they become popular. They'd just be getting around to "Stormy Weather" now. I think I'll just walk some place."
***
Irvin S. Cobb reveals that his favorite radio programs include those that reflect Negro life and folk lore naturally. He is a keen follower of Columbia's dramatized series of Roark Bradford's "John Henry" stories. Likewise, his boyhood admiration for the Rev. "Sin Killer" Griffin, an itinerant preacher from Texas, now promises to be rivalled by his appreciation of Elder Michaux and his congregation, heard from Washington.
REPU A LICHTM FRIDAY-TUESDAY
D.C., each Saturday over the GBS network. "Negro preachers are natural born dramatists," Cobb says.
****
Mills' Blue Rhythm Band, formerly known as Baron Lee's Blue Rhythm Band, replaces Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club in Harlem, and will also take over the Duke's three weekly broadcasts over the NBC network.

Homer Smith, tenor singer of the Southernaires, Quartet, is to be awarded an honorary degree of Master of Music from Wilberforce University his alma mater, this week for the splendid work he has done in the field of music for the Negro race. Congratulations, Mr. Smith!
Favorite Tunes of a Few Radio Favorites
"St. Louis Blues" is Mildred Bailey's favorite.
"Stormy Weather" is Will Osborne's.
"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" voted for by Irvin S. Cobb.
"Underneath the Harlem Moon" is the favorite of Rose McClendon, of "John Henry" fame.

They are heralded everywhere as America's "bridge sweethearts," and make a triumphal tour of the country.

KISSES AND SOLDIERS MONOPOLIZES REPUBLIC THEATRE SCREEN
Seldom does the Republic Theatre have such a cinematic treat as that provided by Universal's "The Kiss Before the Mirror," which opens for a five-day engagement Friday, June 9. Not for months has so much drama, human interest and art been shown in a film. Gloria Stuart, who has always played strictly conventional roles, plays the role of a faithless wife, Nancy Carroll is the epitome of feminine loveliness as the lawyer's wife. Frank Morgan, of the stage, gives a supurb performance. Paul Lukas, Jean Dixon, Charles Grapewin and Walter Widgeon are excellently cast as well, in this unique film.
"Soldiers of the Storm," who sweep down out of the skies to "get their man," takes possession of the Republic Theatre screen for two days starting Wednesday, June 14. Regis Toomey, Anita Page, Barbara Barlandess, and Barbara Weeks appear in the cast of this Columbia picture, which is directed by D. Ross (Speed) Lederman. Toomey is cast as an aviator of the Border Patrol, who rounds up a band of smugglers who operate across the Mexican border.

Fifty other people round out this snappy revue.
The screen brings the flashing personality of Katherine Hepburn, the most talked of actress in America in "Christopher Strong," the story of a girl who tried to fight off her natural emotions with thrills. The story deals with a single girl, and a married man, and the question of who was to pay for their mistake—the girl or his wife.
The actress who set the world agog in "Bill of Divorcement" soars to higher triumph as the girl who tried to fight flames of desire with thrills.
Amateur night every Wednesday with four cash prizes. Midnight show Friday.

The strength of the picture lies, not only in the unusual love story, but in the dramatic punches and the realistic atmosphere of the oil fields, where Jack Holt as a swaggering cock-sure oil ppmoter, who on account of the absence of gullibility has always been able to get what he wants, holds sway. The cast includes Noah Beery, Raquel Torres, Edwin Maxwell and others.

"NIGHT OF TERROR" AT BROADWAY THEATRE FOR TWO-DAY STAY
The much chilled spines of cinema fans will be subjected to more cold waves, it is predicted, with the showing of "Night of Terror," the Columbia murder-mystery which opens at the Broadway Theatre for a two-day run, Sunday and Monday, June 11 and 12.
Bela Lugosi, who has successfully appeared in so many weird characterizations, is featured, and the supporting cast includes Sally Blane, Wallace Ford, George Meeker, Gertrude Michael, and Tully Marshall.
The story deals with a murderus maniac at large, gruesome faces at the window, ingenues screams, police detectives' bungles, a household terrorized by a series of mysterious killings and a man buried alive.
"Jones is a man who never fails to see his duty clearly."
"True, but usually he sees it in time to avoid it."

MORGAK WINS
GLA ATES
BALTIMORE, Md.—The Morgan
College athletes turned in their
togs last week after having per-
formed the astounding feat of win-
ning three major championships of
the C.LA.A. in one year: football,
basketball, and track.
This is the first time in the his-
tory of the association that one in-
stitution has galloped off with all
of the major athletic honors. Mor-
gan joined this association in 1930.
Since then one championship in
track has been won, two in football
and four in basketball.
‘These unusual achievements have
come about in spite of the fact that
the college does not boast of hav-
ing a gymnasium or a track, Coach
Hurt, who directs athletics at Mor-
gan, was asked how he accounted
for the phenomenal success of his
teams. He replied: “It is primarily
due to the absolute confidence: in
their own ability and in our system
of play, and I might also add, to
their wonderful school spirit and
loyalty.”
