Alexander Hector Has Visited When the Latter Seeks to Sunday Morning Service RICHMOND, Va. (Special to The Tribune)—The trials and tribulations of a pastor who refuses to be ousted by his disgruntled congregation are manifold and the Rev. Alexander A. Hector, whose conduct has been the subject of court proceedings, has not escaped them, but he still remains in control of the situation at the First Presbyterian Church in spite of repeated efforts to send him into exile. The row within this church which began last. April when the pastor was charged with using indecent language in the presence of a young married woman of his congregation, reached its climax Sunday morning when two ministers attempted to occupy the pulpit. Guest Minister Arrested Only one delivered his "message" the Rev. Mr. Hector. The guest preacher, the Rev. Thomas A. Robinson, of South Boston, Va., was placed under arrest at the re- Washington Tribune Policy-holders Would Lose by Forced Sale Hopes for Congressional Investigation Expressed by Intervener Somewhat indignant and chagrined by the recent decision of Justice Daniel O'Dinoghue ordering liquidation of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, W. C. Hueston, counsel for J. Finley Wilson, who submitted a plan of rehabilitation, is preparing this week, to make a special appeal to the District Court of Appeals to set aside the order Associated with Mr. Hueston in preparing the appeal is Samuel Boyd, white, who handled the case during Mr. Hueston's enforced absence in the west in account of illness. Mr. Hueston returned, Monday, and the two are engaged in perfecting the appeal. The special appeal to the District Court of Appeals, it is said, will also set forth that Justice O'Donoghue had denied an appeal from his decision, and that he has also refused to sign a supersedens. 200,000 Policyholders Menaced. The liquidation of the company by forced sale, ordered by Justice O'Donoghue, means a total loss to 200,000 colored policyholders of approximately $6,000,000, in assets. Mr. Wilson proposes to push his plan for mutualization, which was rejected by the court, to prevent the remaining assets from passing into the hands of white men. Destruction of the enterprise by forced liquidation is regarded by Wilson as an outrage. He has expressed a hope that public sentiment may crystallize to the point of the inpeachment of persons in high authority, through Congressional investigation of their procedure. Whites Would Get Temple That the company assets will pass from the group is best illustrated by the Washington situation. "What Negro," questions Mr. Wilson, "can buy the Masonic Temple at a forced sale? Or what Negro can buy the Balfour apartments?" The group under the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, owns the Balfour apartments at the corner of Sixteenth and U Streets, Northwest. The sum of $232,000 was paid for the property, and $80,000 is yet due on it. Under Daniel C. Roper's receivership, a payment of $44,000 was paid on the (Continued on Page 3) Second Round in control of Pulpit Is Visiting Minister Arrested as to Occupy Pulpit at Service at Church quest of the pastor, charged with "interrupting and disturbing an assembly met for the worship of God."

Mr. Russell promised to take the matter up with his superiors immediately. He was told that his company employs Negro clerks in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and other cities in neighborhoods where the population is predominantly colored. Survey Made Franklin Thorne, an official of the Alliance, showed Mr. Russell a copy of a survey he had made in the vicinity of an A. & P. store located at Ninth and S Streets, Northwest. This survey disclosed that 296 heads of families in the neighborhood had been visited. This group constituted a population of 1,191, of which 253 are gainfully employed. The area canvassed is from the north side of R Street between Seventh and Tenth Streets, to T Street; between Seventh and Tenth. This group spends a total of $1,185.55 each week at the store at Ninth and S Streets. In the entire area there are only five white families.

Harry Atwood, John Alfred Davis, and Franklin Thorne.

DENY COLOR KEPT WOMAN OUT OF JOB Civil Service Officials Say that Race Was not a Factor Herbert E. Martin, chief of the recruiting division of the civil service, denied this week that Mrs. Marjorie Jeffries, 654 Girard Street, Northwest, was denied appointment as tabulating machine operator because of her color. Mrs. Jeffries who stood high on the list of eligibles for appointment, was called by Bertran Brandt, white, chief of the certification bureau, last week. The message was telephoned to the home of Mrs. Jeffries and she was told that she could get the job. She went to Brandt's office which is located in Room 244, in the Civil Service Commission building at 7th and F Streets, Northwest. She stated that he seemed surprised that she was colored and told her that the position had been filled. She went to Brandt's office again on Tuesday and she was sent to the office of W. C. Sorrel in the Agriculture Building, Thirteenth and B Streets, Southwest. Here she found a long line of some 100 persons waiting to see Sorrel. She left after waiting some time after being informed that some of the persons in the line had been seeking an interview with Sorrel for several days and she would have to take her turn in the line. Mrs. Jeffries was formerly employed at the National Benefit Life Insurance Company's office where she became familiar with tabulating machines. Later she was employed at Maxwell's Book Store, 2000 block of Georgia Avenue. She left the latter position when she thought she was to secure the job in the government. When Brandt was called by a reporter for The Tribune he refused to comment on the case of Mrs. Jeffries but referred the reporter to Mr. Martin. Mr. Martin said he would investigate the matter and later told The Tribune that color was not considered in the appointment, but the job was outside of the classified service. He said Mrs. Jeffries was certified Tuesday and no doubt would be appointed.

BRITISH SUBJECT IS FLOGGED BY AFRICAN CHIEF BRITISH SUBJECT IS FLOGGED BY AFRICAN CHIEF PALAPYE, Buchuanaland, Africa—The future of the Tshekedi, the young chief of the Bamangwato Tribe, is now in the hands of a special British commission after that body completed an investigation into the flogging by natives of Phineas Mackintosh, a British subject. The court decided that Mackintosh, charged with living with a native woman, and seducing several girls, should be banned henceforth from any of the native reserves. The flogging was the sentence of a native court, presided over by Tshekedi, who was educated in England. The commission now must take up the case of the young chief, who temporarily was deposed on the charge that he had violated the laws of the protectorate, which forbid the trial of an European by a native court under any circumstances. A detachment of marines was sent to accompany the special court to this sweltering interior point. The inquiry was made despite the admission of Mackintosh that he appeared voluntarily in Tahekedi's court on a charge of assault and his declaration that he did not want to take action. It was an example of British methods of upholding England's rule over wild, savage regions of the empire. Luncheonette Manager Denies Charge by Negro Alliance Assertion That Waitresses are Paid Starvation Wage and Work Long Hours is Denied by the Owner of U Street Business POLICE SEEK FAKE WHITE DOCTOR Bogus Physician Had Large Practice Among Colored People in Northeast Police of the District are seeking a second-year white medical student who is said to have been practicing medicine in the city for the past two years. His patients were mostly colored. The white man, who went under the name of "Doctor" F. W Baars, had offices at First and K Streets, Northwest. His patients were residents of Snows Court, Jackson Court and other alley sections. His fee was 50 cents. Many colored physicians in that section felt the inroads of the so-called white "doctor" as patients were deserting them for the cut-rate practitioner. Assistant United States Attorney Michael F. Keogh issued a warrant for the man's arrest last week. He is described as a "gifted young student" and is said to have come here from Arkansas, where he attended the State University College of Medicine for two years. It is alleged Baars sent several patients to hospitals and engaged surgeons to operate on them. He met his Nemesis however, when Health Department officials found his signature on a birth certificate. Questioned by Health Officer Dr. W. C. Fowler, he said he was a student at a Virginia university and had been merely getting some experience here practicing on patients. When detectives appeared at his office Saturday the "doctor" was out. His sign had been removed from the door and most of his instruments were gone. He is also alleged to have prescribed drugs for many patients.

Wednesday, when Private J. G. Middleton, white, was accused by one colored and two white fellow officers of making an unprovoked attack with his fists on a man and slapping a woman at the Fourth Precinct, July 14.

Kirby, white, assistant station clerk; and James Redlick, white, station clerk. The alleged assault was made on Miss Dorothy Wood, 18, of Arlington, Va., and George Burrell, formerly of 2220 Twelfth Street, Northwest, who had been arrested by the officer on traffic charges. After hearing the testimony of the three officers, five others were summoned before the board and the trial continued until next Wednesday. Officer Sanderson was the complaining witness, neither Miss Wood or Burrell being present at the hearing. Riot Call Sent According to the supportive testimony given by the three officers, a call was received at the station on the night of the accident that a policeman was in trouble at Third and H Streets, Southwest. A riot squad was sent out. Upon reaching the scene it was found that there was only a traffic accident. Miss Wood and Burrell were carried to the station house in the patrol by Patrolman Sanderson, who was substituting in place of the regular driver. While awaiting to be booked by Officer Kirpby, Burrell stood before the bar, while Miss Wood stood a little to the rear of the large front room. Middleton is said to have started back of the railing to make out a traffic slip, the testimony continued.

HEAT AFFECTS THREE The increasing heat over the week-end sent three persons suffering with prostration to local hospitals for first aid treatment, Friday and Saturday. Those overcome were: Winston Bridgett, 54, of 902 Barry Place; Horace Dixon, 25, of 1215 Quackenboss Street, and Shirley Brock, 30, of 613 N Street, all of the Northwest section. Struck on the head with an unknown object by an unnamed person, Thomas Fowler, 27. of 1106 O Street, Northwest, was treated for two wounds of the scalp last week. scored were the three-hand reel, first; double jig, second, and the reel, third. The other girls who danced with Miss Emptage in the three-hand reel were Misses Elizabeth Hanley and Madeline O'Neil, both white. The dances were typical Irish steps. The young woman, the only Negro pupil to have been graduated from St. Joseph's, was born in Dublin, Ireland, and came to this country at the age of one year. She was awarded a medal at graduation for leading her class of forty in typing. She specializes in all of the Irish dances, including the hornpipe, jigs, reel, and set dances. Miss Emptage is also an adept in the popular American dances, like the Lindy and the Shim Shim Shim- Steel Code Sets Wages Below Scale Offered by Employers Negro Workers in Industry in South Faced with Loss of $1,000,000 a Year in Wages; Protest and Appeal Filed Capital News Service Negro workers in the steel industry faced the loss of a cool million dollars a year in wages as result of the action of the National Recovery Administration and President Roosevelt in establishing minimum rates of pay of 25 and 27 cents an hour in the Southern and Birmingham districts of the industry, when employers in this industry had publicly offered to pay a minimum rate of 30 cents an hour. The Joint Committee on National Recovery composed of officially designated representatives of national organizations and church bodies, registered a strong protest against such action on the part of the NRA, through John P. Davis, executive secretary of the committee. Mr. Davis under date of September 6, sent on behalf of the committee letters to President Roosevelt, Secretary of Labor Perkins, General Hugh S. Johnson,NRA administrator, and Dr. Leo Wolman, chairman of the Labor Advisory Board of the NRA. His letter to President Roosevelt was in part as follows: Wage Scales Lowered "We are deeply concerned over your approval of the code of fair competition for the iron and steel industry by your executive order of August 19, 1933. We wish to call your attention to the fact that the wage scales for the Southern and Birmingham districts approved by you are actually lower than those agreed to by the employers in those areas as representing what they would be fairly able to pay. "We call your attention specifically to the statement of Mr. Robert P. Lamont, representing the employers in those districts, which we quote in full from page 20 of the Transcript of Proceedings, First Day, Afternoon Session: 'Statement of Robert P.

Willing to Sell Mr. Hurwitz stated that all of his employees earn a living, but if any member of the alliance or any other interested party cares to purchase the luncheonette he is willing to sell. The alliance was instrumental in forcing the Hamburger Grill, 1200 block of U Street, to re-employ three colored youths who had been replaced by whites when members picketed the place and forced it to close within two days, two weeks ago. Mr. Hurwitz said that he is spreading employment by hiring the large number of girls, but seven or eight men can do the same work. He is considering replacing the girls with male waiters. PASTOR WINS SECOND ROUND (Continued from page 1) church officials from interfering with his use of the pulpit. There was no excitement in the church Sunday morning, as the feud between the congregation and the pastor reached a crisis. Church members previously had made up their minds not to interrupt the Rev. Mr. Hector. But when he ended his sermon, the Rev. Mr. Robinson was escorted to the pulpit by church officials. Pastor Convicted Then the Rev. Mr. Hector stepped into action. He protested and called police officers to place the visiting preacher under arrest. They did so, and the charges will be heard in the police court. That ended the services. Last April, the Rev. Mr. Hector was convicted in the police court of making improper remarks to a woman member of his church. The conviction was over-ruled in a higher court, but in the meantime a large number of church members took action to have the pastor removed. Padlocked Church On August 4, according to church officials, the presbytery of the southern district of Virginia found the pastor guilty and ordered him to vacate his pulpit on September 3. The pastor refused. Members padlocked the church against him. He took the padlocks off and put on some of his own. Then last Monday, he was arrested at the request of church officials and carried before Judge Haddon in the police court, but this case was continued until next Thursday to permit the Rev. Mr. Hector an opportunity to seek an injunction from the city circuit court. And there the battle will probably he fought to a finish. The church members are confident that they, not the Rev. Mr. Hector, will Announcement!

They have employed our entire Agency Force and authorized us to explain the advantages of the splendid plan which they have worked out for you. The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has stood the test of every storm and emerged from the Depression in an excellent financial condition. Their assets are in excess of $4,000,000.00.

Reed, Cashier-Clerk greed to the minimum rate of 30 cents in the Birmingham and Southern districts." Grave Injustice to Negroes "It is the sense of our committee that the failure to raise the wage scale at least to the limit acceptable to the employers in that field represents a grave injustice to Negro labor which predominates in those areas. In support of our contention we wish to call your attention to the speech made by your Secretary of Labor and by the Negro Industrial League to be found in the transcript of proceedings. "We feel very certain that it is not your intention to allow the low minimum already suggested by the employers' interests in those areas to be further depressed by administrative flat. Certainly a lower minimum than one which the employer groups readily admit that they can pay, cannot be said to be in keeping with the purpose of the National Industrial Recovery Act as expressed by your public utterances. Ask Amendment to Code "Because of this condition, we respectfully urge than in keeping with your authority under Section 10 (b) of the National Industrial Recovery Act, you issue an appropriate executive order which will bring up the minimum wage scales of workers in these areas at least to a 30 cents an hour minimum, already announced by Mr. Lamont as acceptable to the industry." Estimates of the research department of the Joint Committee headed by Dr. Robert C. Weaver, Harvard economist, indicate that in Jefferson County, Alabama alone losses totaling $482,000 annually will be suffered by black labor in the steel mills. More than half a million more in loss is estimated for the Negro steel workers in other sections of the South. In addition to the protest against the steel code, the joint committee filed, last week, strong briefs in the code of fair competition on structural clay products and fertilizer industries. Gross discriminations in the pay rates of the 4,000 black workers in the clay industry and the 15,000 more in the fertilizer industry were criticised in these briefs. STABBED IN HEAD Mrs. Rose Collins, 36, of 309 Eleventh Street, Northwest, was treated at Freedmen's Hospital last week, after she is said to have been stabbed in the forehead, left side of the scalp and in the chest by Geneva Walker. BEST NEWS OF THE NATIONS CAPITAL BUREAU SEEKS TEACHERS'MASS BUYING POWER Working on Group Theory Body Plans Savings of 15 Per Cent Meeting with general acceptance in Washington among the public school teachers is a newly formed corporation, the Teachers' Service Bureau, which is working on the old and proved economic theory of the power of mass purchasing. The purpose of the organization, according to its management, is to direct a large portion of the $2,000,000 a year purchasing power of the teachers through a central channel and thereby create savings of 10 to 15 per cent for themselves. Contracts have already been entered into with outstanding merchants selling a variety of products. Each of these merchants is offering 10 to 15 per cent discount on all purchases and services rendered by them to the members of the bureau. The bureau is also negotiating for similar arrangements with laundries and dry cleaners, and expects to spread its movement to include the downtown merchants and theatres. Members of the bureau are given discount cards which identify them to the co-operating merchants. "Subs" Fund Arranged On the same mass purchasing principle, a mutual fund, managed by the bureau, has been established, out of which all substitute fees incurred by absences due to illness or accidental injury will be paid. The teacher is protected through this fund from the first day of illness. Teachers who draw no such fees from their mutual fund during the school year, will participate in a distribution of dividends from the surplus earnings at the end of the year, according to plans set forth by the management. It is also pointed out that this corporation has arranged to serve the teachers in purchasing for them in groups any educational literature they may desire, and pass on to them the savings thus obtainable. In addition to all these services, reasonable secretarial services are available to the teachers without extra cost, and other such services at a minimum cost. The offices of the bureau are located at 1238 U Street, Northwest, Charles F. Gandy is secretary and manager of the substitute fund; Harry S. McAlpin is treasurer and assistant manager of the fund.

MUTUAL TAKES OVER NATIONAL BENEFIT AGENTS Former National Benefit Policyholders Being Given Every Possible Consideration and Service Executives of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company were in Washington and Baltimore last week perfecting arrangements and contracts with the former agency forces of Washington and Baltimore of the defunct National Benefit. Former manager Fearonce of Washington and former manager Alexander of Baltimore and their entire agency forces are now representatives of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. They are contacting all former policyholders of the National Benefit, explaining the service they are now in position to render through their new connection. Reports from the district offices in Washington and Baltimore indicate that the former policyholders of National Benefit are rapidly availing themselves of the plan offered by North Carolina Mutual, W. D. Hill, assistant secretary and auditor, and D. C. Deans, assistant agency director, who are looking after the matter in this section, state that during the thirty-four years of the company's operations it has had occasion to take over several companies, together with the agents and policyholders and in each instance the policyholders have been given every possible consideration and service, and have never had cause to regret their new connection. The business of the North Carolina Mutual in Washington has increased from year to year under the management of Charles H. Fearing and his agency group, which was in a very large degree an influencing factor in causing the company to increase its present sales force by the addition of the former agency group of the National Benefit Life. 2 Held for Murder Claim Not Guilty Two persons, a woman and a man, previously indicted on first-degree murder charges by the District Grand Jury, pleaded "not guilty" when arraigned, last week, and now await trial in the Criminal Court.

Wise who returned this week from a two nenths’ stay in the USSR. “Par from any need for contri butions to a famine relief fund, such as’ certain prelates in Europe have called for, Russia today has sufficient bread, cheaper and of a better quality than. ever before,” she declared in an interview with the World-Telegram, She declared the Soviet govern- ment was paying special attention to the children, in contrast to the child n.isery and child labor exist- ing in ths country. “Happy childs ‘ren—a generation fev which every- thing humanly. possible is, being ‘done—workers in the factories and fields who have lost the sense of tension you observe here; a people who are freed from, the ‘terror of eeonamie infsecarity.” The Soviet Union is the only country that has solved unemploy- ment and abolished race hatred and the oppression of national mi norities, fe ace Last Rites Held for | Taxicab’s Victim Funeral services for John Holi- day, 60, who died of injuries re- ceived when he was knocked down by a taxicab, were co rducted from the John Wesley A.M.E.Z.

The present receivers, Gilbert ©. Clark and Frank B. Bryan, Jr. in their ac- count to the court, reported the property as of no value, a minus $57,000, whereas it is regarded by Mr. Wilson as a valuable asset for insurance reserve.

This total of $684,788, left a remainder of assets which do not actually represent tangible property, except $95,023.58, cash on hands as of September 9, 1931. $1,000,000 Collected The present receivers, under their modified: insurance plan, col lected more than $1,000,000 from colored policyholders. Their re- ports showed they operated the modified business on a steadily in- creasing profit, and accumulated a surplus of $33,000, on the basis of which they encouraged the group to send more premium money, say- ing the modified business was sound and under supervision of the Distriet Supreme Court. ‘Despite Justice O'Donoghue's de- cision, Mr. Wilson contends that the plan to use the remaining as-_ serts as the basix of a new com-| pany is practical and that there is | nothing unsound about it. He also, states that the plan was submitted | by him, and cersures the receivers for reporting to the court that no practical plan had been submitted | to them for taking over, or re-| habilitating, or reorganizing the company. No Cash on Hand Reported Mr. Wilson further asserts that the 200,000 policyholders should not now be abandoned, especially after more than $1,000,000 has been extracted from them in the past few months, although the re- ceivers’ reports show no ash on hand. “ ‘Wilson, therefore, has determin- ed to use every effort, even through the Supreme Court, of the United States, to prevent further dissipa- tion of the assets by foreed liqui- dation, wherein no report has been made of the present receivers’ ac- RE ES mgr S oe oO, NSE O ee on Newest Style Furniture -bouaht before recent pricrise P < ee % e oe aa ind ea sf | ' Pet \gi sspears i Ne a Meech oe if sistent ee aN Ji id Eyes) Be Ne. ens 2 eh ia a, og oe 2 5 dal FF || canes | ee eS if abe Se Q eS q?

B. ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1933 The Civil Service Photograph The story of the young colored woman who passed a civil service examination for a certain kind of employment and was officially notified to report for duty only to be told when her color was noted after reporting that the place was filled, will serve as concrete evidence of the misguided effort of those who cavil at the requirement of furnishing an identifying photograph to be filed with the applicant's papers. It has been pointed out repeatedly that, although the photograph may and perhaps does at times queer the chances of appointment, the absence of the photograph gives no assurance of a square deal for colored applicants. For, as in the case just mentioned, if color is to be a bar, it will bar just as effectively when the designated person reports for duty as a photograph would if noticed in the applicant's papers. And even though the applicant's color is not so pronounced when reporting in person as to act as a bar, a photograph would be equally as indecisive. And furthermore and finally, appointments in the civil service are made for a six-month probationary period, at the end of which period or during which period the appointee may be dropped without any reason being given. The case of the young woman cited above is very recent, but similar or identical cases or of persons dropped during the probationary period on frivolous grounds or on no stated grounds at all have occurred several times in the past few years. In spite of these considerations and others that have been brought out, we find so well informed a body of persons as the National Postal Alliance in its recent convention asking that identification be made exclusively by the fingerprint method. The fact is, the photograph may save persons from a useless trip and from embarrassment to boot—as will be evident from a little thought. Let it be understood once for all that what bars us is not photographs. It is the unwillingness of the appointing powers to deal justly with us or their fear of disappoiation in case they brave the unquestioned present-day hostile attitude of would-be fellow employees. To make the matter concrete, the President of the United States has the power to remedy the situation if he thinks it expedient to do so. Don't blame the photograph. Never Fine Enough to Be Respected A correspondent in Columbia, S.C., sends the following to the Associated Negro Press: In the State (a daily newspaper) there was published this week a long, laudatory letter concerning Mrs. Mary Holmes, who, before her death recently, had been employed for many years in the homes of prominent white people of this section. Her reputation among whites and within her own race is indicated by the letter. The letter in the State was written by a white person as evidence of the esteem of whites for Mrs. Holmes. This letter read in part: "She was a woman of extraordinary strength of character, completely honest, warm and generous in her affections and so loyal she might well have taken for her motto that of the Marine Corps, 'Semper Fidelis.' Her interest in all her young friends was cordial and continuing, and in the affliction of her later years they did not forget her. "When she lay many weeks a patient in the hospital, many of them called regularly at her bedside; one of them, in fact, was beside her in the very moment of death, having driven over from Columbia, as on many prior occasions, to inquire about her health and see if there were any little service to be done her. "She had the absolute confidence in all possible respects of those by whom she had been employed, and lived to see grown to maturity the children of some whom, as children themselves, she had tended. And these 'her' children, as she fondly called them, today 'rise up to call her blessed.'" Despite this wealth of praise, Mrs. Holmes is referred to throughout the above letter as "Hattie Holmes." Nothing she did in life ever won for her the respect which is given to the commonest white women in the South. The practice indicated by the foregoing is practically universal throughout the South. It is, of course, an aftermath of slavery. It is not always intended as insult or even conscious disrespect, but is merely the homage which the superiority-complex pays to itself. However, the white press and white people generally in the South are not the only offenders. It is quite a common practice for our own writers and speakers to inferentially show the same lack of respect by almost invariably referring to any and every white man as "Mr." even when the colored man mentioned in the same connection is not so designated. Germany Fears "Advancing Africa' It may be well to bear in mind that the Nazi policy in Germany, under Hitler, does not aim at Jews alone—it strikes at Africans and Asiatics as well. We hear mostly of the persecution of Jews, because they are relatively much more numerous than the other peoples named and have exercised a far greater influence in Europe, especially in Germany. A recent dispatch from Danzig says: DANZIG—The fight against the "yellow peril," and "the rising tide of color" is the ultimate aim and purpose of the Nazis, according to Dr. Alfred Rosenberg, Hitler's "private foreign minister," who addressed the German Labor Front here today. "The veneration of the heroic will penetrate everything," he said. "It will seize poetry and set a new task for science. We shall destroy the fiction of the freedom of science, which dominated the last century. "Thus we shall become harder in order to fulfill our mission, namely, to be the pioneers in the battle of the white man against advancing Africa and attacking Asia. Thus we shall lay the foundation for the next thousand years. That is the mission of the new Germany." Just what Herr Rosenberg meant by the "fiction of the freedom of science" is not clear, but he probably means what was and is meant by the laws and dominant opinion of some Southern states concerning restrictions on the teaching of certain scientific theories, notably evolution. The rest of it is clear enough; and serves to indicate the treatment that would be accorded to the natives should Germany, while under the Hitler influence, have restored to her the African colonies, the Polynesian Pacific Islands, and the spheres of influence in Asia which she lost through the World War. Liberia Gets an Ultimatum From the New York Nation Under cover of the public excitement attending the NRA campaign the State Department is slipping rapidly back into its old ways. The permanent officials of the department are clearly bent on resurrecting the dollar diplomacy of Philander C. Knox and Frank B. Kellogg. Nor does the Administration seem to be greatly concerned. The appointment of Jefferson Caffery as Ambassador to Cuba, discussed in these columns last week, is a case in point. No less ominous is the British-American ultimatum delivered to Liberia on August 25. In this note the State Department and the British Foreign Office bluntly told Liberia that it must accept the infamous League "plan of assistance" without further delay. It must also release certain unidentified political prisoners. Who these prisoners may be we can only guess. Presumably they are Liberian politicians who have sided with the Firestone interests. The penalty to be meted out to Liberia if it refuses to yield is only hinted at in the British-American note. Yet there can be no doubt about the nature of this penalty. Among them, the Firestone interests, the bankers, and the diplomats can quickly reduce Liberia to utter destruction. They need only turn the screws a little tighter, for the Firestone people, with the help of the State Department, have already brought the African republic to the verge of bankruptcy. Naturally the ultimatum was delivered in secrecy. The State Department had difficulty in concealing its consternation when it learned that the news of the ultimatum had reached friends of Liberia in this country.

Outmoded laws They conned for your destruction; but the lights That burn unceasing in your eyes will be unquenched That burn unceasing in your eyes will be unquenched Like those in dead eyes come to life, in dreamers now awake,— Nay, will burn, thank God, as long as restless men may feel The passion to dare death for freedom; ay, to be lynched By dastard hands, or go unflinching to the stake With human, quivering flesh, but godlike hearts of steel! There will come a time of fateful reckoning You are the "trumpet of a prophecy"; thus, deathless Shelley's lyre Told of dread Winter's foretaste of the Spring; A spark, he meant, should flame to rending fire, To wreck a wrongful world, and then remake again, Where Hope might live and Love dwell undismayed,— Unshackeled children laugh; their sires' hearts humming To the precious tune of Justice, that had lain Long silent to the exploiters' frown; Angelo, be not afraid; 'Tis Winter now, but Spring, oh, Spring is coming!

"The victims of jim-crowism should rally around the standard of the Blue Eagle." By KELLY MILLER From the earliest times the eagle has been regarded as a noble bird—vigorous of wing, strong of beak and talons, piercing of eye and dauntless of courage. The eagle has been adopted as the symbol of many a state. The Roman Eagle symbolized the courage and valor of that mighty empire. This same bird symbolizes the freedom of the American spirit and is stamped upon our Almighty Dollar. A. H. The apostles of the industrial recovery have adopted the Blue Eagle as symbolic of the New Deal. No nobler or more fitting symbol could have been adopted, if the spirit of the NRA is to be characterized by the qualities of this noble bird. May he spread, his protecting Kelly Miller this noble bird. May he spread his protecting wings over the new industrial regime, insuring justice, fair play and equal opportunity for all. Jim Crow was born in a stable yard in Louisville, Ky., in 1811. A travelling comedian, looking out of his hotel window, saw a stable boy cutting up characteristic antics terminating in the refrain: "Turn around and jump about, and jump, I'm Jim Crow." James Crow was the performer's bona fide name. JIM CROW ORIGINATED BY A COMEDIAN The comedian was struck with the possibilities of the performance and the refrain. The act was incorporated in his repertoire and was performed throughout the country with great applause. It made a hit which immortalized an unknown Negro, and gave a nomenclature calculated to stigmatize his race with the stamp of lasting inferiority. From such an origin arose the jim-crow policy of American people dealing with the race of that simple souled Louisville buffoon. Today we have jim-crow schools, jim-crow churches, jim-crow cars, jim-crow sections of the city, and in a word jim-crowism stamps every feature of life where the two races operate separately. I suppose that there might be a jim-crow Heaven and a jim-crow Hell if racial distinctions survive the grave, according to the desire of those who profiteer in race prejudice. Jim-crow is a ghastly, gaunt, ungainly bird which befouls the aims and ideals of the American Eagle. His spirit is cowardly; his croak is gruesome. Jim-crow and eagle are mortal enemies. They cannot thrive in the same atmosphere. The eagle must destroy jim-crow or have his dominion polluted with cowardice, injustice and the slavish spirit. The two are so deeply contrasted in nature and spirit that they cannot exercise joint dominion. The spirit of these emblematic birds finds concrete illustration in the NRA which the present administration has set up to promote recovery and to lift the nation out of the slough of depression. NOTHING OF JIM CROW SPIRIT IROQSEVETS.BACKGROUND Fortunately indeed may the nation consider itself that the chief executive who has necessarily been clothed with dictatorial power, has nothing of the Jim-crow spirit in his background or traditions. The Blue Eagle well characterizes the spirit of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Equal opportunity for all; special favor for none, was the keynote of his campaign and is the avowed policy of his administration. But Jim-Crow is an ugly fact whose existence cannot be ignored, any more than we can ignore the existence of any other form of evil. According to the Roosevelt intention, the NRA must be operated without regard to race, creed or color. But the Blue Eagle meets Jim-Crow in the way, who insists that every program shall bear the taint of race and the stigma of color. Jim-Crow stands defiantly athwart the Blue Eagle's path, and stubbornly disputes the right of way. Blue Eagle must triumph or Jim-Crow must give way or be forced out of the way. President Roosevelt has laid down broad, general principles in the Blue Eagle spirit. He has put the immediate administration of the recovery act in the hands of three of his most liberal-minded and patriotic cabinet members. Secretaries Ickes and Perkins are known for their undeviating devotion to the Blue Eagle ideals. Secretary Roper, though technically a Southerner where jim-crowism flourishes like a green bay tree, is also known for his liberal and generous spirit and his loyalty to the standards of the nobler bird despite provincial drawbacks. All those who are in any way charged with NRA administration have been instructed, we prefer to believe, that jim-crow must be pushed aside and his former dominion reduced to a minimum, while the Blue Eagle asserts his imperial right of way. The immemorial victims of jim-crowism should rally around the standard of the Blue Eagle and uphold the hands of the NRA and hold up the hands of Roosevelt and his subordinates as Aaron upheld the faltering hands of Moses. The NRA should be nailed over every door post. Blue Eagle and Jim-Crow, Jim-Crow and Blue Eagle—these two birds which bid to typify the American spirit. Compare them—there is no comparison. There is only contrast. Jim-Crow must give way; the Eagle must exert his undisputed sway over all the land and over the peoples thereof. Our Common Problem LET US REASON TOGETHER BY CHAS M. THOMAS Teacher of Science, Armstrong High School, Washington, D.C. Grave danger to progress lies in the hostile attitudes of two groups of our men prominent in the columns of the press. At a time when the people are unable to see clearly a way through some basic condition of life, when American institutions are threatened, we read columns of attacks and counter attacks upon personal attitudes upon the question of segregation. Terms have not been defined; the scope of the argument is not outlined; personalities engage and stir us but no inference is possible. Our emotions are stirr! and our personal attitudes strained because the appeal is to our feelings, not to reason. Duty of Those Who Can Think The capacity to carry a train of ideas through many human relations belongs to but few men in any generation. A heavy responsibility therefore rests upon that small group of intellectuals to remember the possible influence of their expressed thoughts upon the conduct of the great mass of people who must take their ideas predigested. Every individual carries a heavy burden of restraint in these days of tinder-box social contacts. What is decided by those who influence the people respecting the conduct of a minority group living in a dominating civil order is not exclusively an American issue confined to the United States. All Europe, all the civilized world feels the impact of our racial problems here in America, just as all America feels the reaction of what happens in Washington between people of color and those who have little of it. That was shown beyond cavil by the race riots of World War hysteria. How Far Does Equality Go? Like it or not, prejudice arises in the mind where differences exist. Prejudice is otherness. When a people anywhere is faced by others differing in appearance, habits, attitudes, and philosophy, an emotional hostility springs up. To the Greeks, all others were barbarians; to the Hebrews, they were gentiles; to the Romans, they were colonials. Prejudice against people of dark skins arose when England became a national power; it stirred a feeling of superiority in the whites without making any effort to excel. Shakespeare's "Othello" shows how it operated when the odds were all in favor of the darker hue. The national hostility to the French and the Spanish, the national prosperity based upon despoilation of East Indians and South Africans, and the national prestige based upon wealth acquired from trade in the sale of Africans to the Americans, leave no doubt of the attitude of mind of the Nordics when it suits their aims and purposes to subordinate a darker people. How can their children believe in their God-given superiority if allowed to be beaten in school by others of darker hue, and how can those same Nordics remain petty gods in the minds of their women, if positions of trust and importance, and rank and power are held by black men. Only a blind man can believe that prejudice does not exist and work to the disadvantage of colored people even when protestations and infrequent exhibitions of toleration occur. What Do We Really Want? As human beings, we Afro-Americans have known, sought and desired freedom. However, only through mental processes of critical experience have we come to understand what is meant by "ordered liberty under the law." We know what is justice, but only by careful exclusion of feelings and wishes can we realize how difficult and how imperfect is human establishment of balanced comparison of complaints before a referee; hence our tardy appeal to courts of law. What we really want and what some of us shall not cease to strive to attain for ourselves and for all the people of the United States is equal, just, and fair treatment as citizens of this republic under laws for which we voted at their origin, defended in all wars, understand as well as others, subscribe to and are a part of. Nothing more and nothing less! The ideals of American democracy cannot be realized part white and part black, part rich and part poor. All people born or naturalized here are citizens, and thereby guaranteed exact equality in our civil rights. It is our duty to ourselves and to future generations to defend those rights. The price to acquire them has been paid, the sacrifices to defend them must be made. Now as always, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Collective Action Necessary So little does the individual count in any kind of opposition to abuses and power, in these days of great wealth and greater greed for its possession, that only by grouping ourselves locally, can we secure that vigilance with its necessary evidence and legal protection vital to defending our civil rights. Nothing matters more White Spokesmen for Negroes, Not a "New Deal" By RIENZI B. LEMUS As we shall see, there is neither meat nor merit in the Negro leaders' protests against designation of Clark Howell Foreman, white, as adviser to the Roosevelt administration on economic matters 'affecting' Negroes. And those race leader protests are legion! Begin with the activities of normally busy Chas. H. Houston, who last week had to neglect his businesses while at the office of Secretary of the Interior Ickes on the reasonably futile mission of demonstrating why a Negro should have Mr. Foreman's place. Mr. Houston is vice dean and practically head of Howard University's authoritatively rated "A1" Law School, a successful and busy practicing attorney, useful young man. In fact, young Dean Houston is an exceptionally competent attorney. Yet while he wasted his valuable time in the office of Mr. Ickes on the brief of African Professional Upliftery, Inc., the white attorney for the Negro grand exalted ruler of the black Elks was announcing his Negro client's decision to save the National Benefit Insurance remnants "to the Negro group." And that was not unusual. The Negro's great ones have almost invariably called upon white men to appear as their representatives in VITAL cases and matters. And economic matters concerning Negroes are of more vital nature than the fate of groups or individuals at bar. The head protester and chief blues wailer against Foreman's designation is the chief secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. and to paraphrase Octavus Cohen, "hirin" white representatives to conduct the Negro's vital battles is what the N.A.A.C.P. never done nothin' else but." The practice, however, has been confined neither to the N.A.A.C.P. nor to the South. Not so long ago a Negro publisher sued another of his fraternity for libel, and the plaintiff's attorneys weren't black. The late and great Moorefield Story was a white man, within as well as without. He won the Richmond-Louisville segregation cases for the N.A.A.C.P. in the U.S. Supreme Court. Ten years later he, associated with the late Louis Marshall, also white, was called upon to lose the so-called Curtis segregation case of Washington, after it had been hashed out of all U. S. Supreme court tempo in the courts below. I suppose the N.A.A.C.P. would attempt to justify engagements of Messrs. Story and Marshall upon the ground that those humanitarians served the cause gratis. But Walter White isn't calling upon Secretary Ickes for a white humanitarian to represent Negroes for the administration. On the contrary, in admitting in writing that Mr. Foreman perhaps is another Story, Mr. White opposes him only because Foreman is a white man. It will always seem to me that the case of Detroit's Dr. Sweet was one that vitally affected the Negroes throughout the country. Exercising the right of a man to live where he wished, Dr. Sweet moved into a recently purchased home in a "white" neighborhood, not be intimidated, and killed one of the mbc that had attacked his house and threatened its inmates. Put on trial for murder, he was defended by Clarence Darrow, white, retained by the N.A.A.C.P., which had assumed charge of Sweet's defense and raised funds for the purpose from the "race" and others. Dr. Sweet was acquitted. The employment of Darrow affords no occasion for fault-finding—but he was, and still is, white. Besides that "great attorney for liberal causes"—usually at a $500 retainer and $100 purl for each day he has to appear in court—Arthur Garfield Hays, also white, and a colored attorney of Detroit was associated with Mr. Darrow—just as Mr. Foreman announced that two Negroes, T. Arnold Hill and Dr. Charles S. Johnson, will be his associates at running the U.S. Negro, economically, from the office of the Secretary of the Interior (at the expense of the Negro weeklies). The son of a highly respected Negro preacher of Atlanta was murdered by low caste whites in front of his father's home near Morehouse College in May or June, 1930. Aroused, "the Negro" held protest meetings, decided to raise a fund to finance employment of an attorney to assist at prosecution of the indicted murderers. "Fesser CRISIS DuBois publicly took to task the uncle of the murdered boy for allegedly failing to donate to the "race-defense" prosecution fund, which reached the sum of $3,000 I believe. A lawyer was hired, assisted at sending the murderers to the Georgia penitentiary—but he was than this. Your prestige will not serve you, nor your subservience to some of the dominant group or your accumulation of property for all can be stripped away where a dominant group holds the machinery of power. SPECIAL FEATURES Think It Over By BEATRICE M. MURPHY GRATITUDE "He was one of those who do not return to give thanks." I ran across that accusing sentence in a book the other day. I've heard it so often in life. Why? Why should people return to give thanks? Why should we expect them to give thanks? Why should we lay so much stress on the formality of a mere "thank you" and miss some of the more important phases of the situation? "Thank you" are the two most inadequate words ever written into the human language and yet failure to use them has broken friendships and caused hard feelings and resentment in many a breast. "It is," said Christ a long time ago, "more blessed to give than to receive." Ever since people have been giving and consciously expecting the blessings to fall like the "gentle rain from l'eaven" upon them. They forget that giving is a game of chance where you have to get your fun out of the mere playing of it because two-thirds of the time there is no reward. There are only two ways to give: we either give and forget or give and remember. We give, so we say and perhaps even think, unselfishly because there is something within us which impels us to do so. We say that we do not look for reward, but we do; and become indignant if the recipient does not respond with effusive thanks. We brand him "ungrateful" and do not hesitate to tell the world about it; when the important thing we should remember is that there have never been words invented which can adequately express a human soul, no way of conveying what one really feels and thinks about things in his heart. You can always be gracious enough to forget the gift but the receiver can never forget it, and you can rely on the fact that the least he says the more deeply grateful he is, without being able to find words to express it. It doesn't make any difference whether someone says "thank you" when you give him the best you have to offer. The big question is, did he in turn do something for someone else? Did he share the blessing and joy of his gift with another who needed it? The vital thing is, not what, did he say, but "What did he do?" You can't make people appreciate things and those who utter the most gibb thanks are usually the ones who appreciate it the least. Seems to me that if you're giving because you expect someone to broadcast to the world what a good fellow you are or because you want him to cringe and fawn in gratitude at your feet for the rest of his natural life, that it would have been better to keep the gift, for it's really a gift with a string tied to it, and must be paid for—and what man is there who will give up some of his self-respect in order to repay a kindness? He who gives and remembers puts a blight upon his action which takes away all the beauty of it and brings but unhappiness to him who gives and him who receives. But if you can give and forget—aking only that the receiver pass on to someone who needs it a similar kindness; if you can give of your very soul without expecting the receiver to either be grateful or appreciate it; if you can have your gifts flung ba k in your face and yet keep on giving without resentment and hurling charges of "ingrate" at your fellowman, then you are indeed akin to the Omnipotent, beneficent force which gives us the radiance of the sun, the perfume of the flowers and the song of birds and yet punishes us t for ingratitude when we for- not a Negro. His name is William Schley Howard, ex-Congressman, and the same type of white that Clark Foreman's Negro opponents who know him attest Foreman to be. Col. Howard was for years attorney for Mr. Benjamin J. Davis, Sr., who always had work for him to do. And "old Ben" was a leading Georgia Negro for a generation. Walter White who isn't white, and Clark Foreman who is, were both born and bred in Georgia, where the "Negro" ever and forever called upon the white folks to advocate his causes when things were crucial, which is still done by Negroes who were not born and bred in Georgia, who never saw the place. Designation of Foreman was not therefore a gratuitous act on the part of the Roosevelt administration. On the basis of the lifelong practices of Negro leaders themselves, it was entirely consistent, wholly logical. Afric Professional Upliftery, Inc., never makes a move without either advice or companionship, or both, of some white fellow uplifter. Dr. R. R. Moton named a white man to go with the "all-Sam" commission to Haiti in 1930 and when a busted hoof prevented him sailing with the Moton group he finally had the injured pedal fixed up and flew to Port au Prince in a plane. The administration is not naive simply because Afric Professional Upliftery, Inc., is. Besides, all records are available for the government's information. New York City. This Week By HAROLD G. EATON By HAROLD G. EATON SEGREGATION IN BUSINESS It is amusing to see how much trouble some people of color will put themselves to so that they may have the high honor: sitting beside a white person and drinking from a silver cup. I have in mind the news story of two scholarly gentlemen who protested to the manager of a local drug store, last week, because they were refused service at the soda fountain. True, the store in question is largely supported by colored people, yet this store is within its rights in some ways. No Negroes helped to organize the company that this store represents, nor do any own stock. It is a white company for whites. With this advantage, they can say whom they will serve and whom they will not serve at their soda fountains. Now, I do not blame the two gentlemen for getting hot under the collars, because they were deprived of their rights (?), but it seems a bit discourteous to tell one what to do with his own property when the odds are so great against you. The New Negro Alliance, the organization that is out to fight segregation, should not expect to accomplish what it did in the Hamburger Grill fight when it launches its campaign against the chain stores. The drug store fight is a different kind of proposition. It would be well for these young men to center their energy on the organization of a mammoth Negro Trade Society and create the power to combat the well organized segregation in business. The best means to overcome this evil in commerce is to refrain from patronizing, in any sense, those businesses that promote segregation. If this were done, flourishing business, owned and operated by Negroes, would be the consequence. IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER A November publication from the press of William Godwin, New York, "Polygamy Preferred" by Lacey Beck, tells for the first time in fiction the story of a happy marriage based on "natural promiscuity" rather than "unnatural fidelity." Janet marries Brandon Creighley after she had lived with him for a year. Both appreciate that neither can nor will be physically faithful to the other, but they work out a pattern of happy married life based upon "honesty and mutual appreciation, not deceit and self-abnegation." However radical their manner of living may seem—it works; and it may, in some instances, be the solution of marital unhappiness and mal adjustment, which many thousands are seeking. Lacey Beck is for obvious reasons, a pseudonym. Under her own name she is a novelist of prominence and the wife of an internationally known author. If you are one of the initiated you may recognize some of the characters in this book; artists, musicians and writers who play important parts in their respective arts today. Here is a significant novel that is probably the most daring of the season. This story has received lots of preview comment that is destined to make the book a Fall best seller. An unusual edition of the Bible is scheduled for publication this Fall by Morrow. It will consist primarily of a collection of 200 old Dutch engravings by Matthew Merian. The pictures will be accompanied by the incidental Bible text, original verse and an introduction and informal annotation by William Lyon Phelps. * * * * "We do Our Part—But" is the title of a brilliant expression of the work of the NRA among Negroes by Ira DeA. Reid in the September issue of Opportunity magazine. It is followed by T. Arnold Hill's scintillating appraisal of the Negro's position in the New Deal. Benjamin F. Hubert, president of the Georgia State College, Savannar, Ga., writes of the "Role of the small Southern Farmer in the Future Land Utilization Program" in the same issue, one of the papers read at the Rosenwald Economic Conference recently convened in Washington. Dr. Morris Steggevda, of the Carnegie Institute, of this city, distinguished American anthropologist, discusses "Testing the Psychology of Races," an authoritative article which will receive marked attention. W. O. Brown, a southerner, professor of sociology, University of Cincinnati, contributes a devastating criticism of the interracial movement. Headley Bailey contributes "Ethiopian Maskal," a description of a picturesque annual religious festival in Abyssinia.

Bride's Father Performs Wormley-Montero Nuptial Ceremony Another romance was culminated in matrimony when Miss Marjorie Elizabeth Wormley became the bride of Frank Curle Montero of Brooklyn, N.

To the strains of the wedding march made to the tune of "All the Way My Saviour Leads Me" the bridal party walked down the aisle of the church—the bride on her father's arm.

They had many hard words out there in the field. Mr, Cockwell cursed and threatened to. kill Darden. So Darden told Cockwell that he would leave because he and Mr. Cockwell eouldn’t get along. He left imme- diately for the town of Warren- ton, Cockwell had gone to the house also. - Seeing Darden going down the road, Cockwell jumped in his ear and followed and over- took Darden in a valley on a bridge something like 600 yards from Darden’s house. There he stopped his car, got out and shot Darden three times, “Darden didn’t have anything to defend himself with, not even a ocket knife, Alte: he had shot arden, Cockwell turned and went back to ‘his house where he. got some men to go down to the bridge and move the dead man and carry the corpse to Darden’s house. He did not tell the men who moved that corpse that it was Watson Darden. “Cockwall then went to Warren- ton and reported to the sheriff. The sheriff didn’t even visit the scené and didn't offer to do any- thing. No inquest was held or ever mentioned. They, had some kind of a. secret meeting with Cockwell and told him to go and bury, the Negro. His widow and nine children were left with nothing to eat. They are in a p'tiful condition. Darden was just thrown into the ground hy the chain gang hands,” Changes Announced in Y.W.C.A.

The school house doors will be thrown open to more than 30,000 students, who will be commanded by three assistant superintendents, three supervising principals, and fifty-seven other principals and directors.

The expected increase in the enrollment which is thought will carry the number of persons entering school well over the 30,000 mark, is attributed to two principal causes, by Garnet C.

FRENCH WORRIED OVER AFRICAN COLONIES PARIS, France—The local press dispatches here revealed that France is alarmed over her colonial possessions in North Africa. This section like the rest of the world is suffering from the throes of the depression and is fertile field for dissension. The French recently completed the subjugation of the Berber tribes in Morocco and the situation in Algiers is becoming alarming because the discontent has taken on an anti-French trend. This discontent is not national or racial but economic. The French are very worried over the situation. A plea was sent to France that she must help the terrible conditions existing in North Africa. The protectorate, it is pleaded, must have power to export wines, wheat and oils. It was pointed out if the old pact was applied North Africa would be ruined as far as the French are concerned and establishments in that section would be imporiled.

HOUSTON AND LOVETT END INVESTIGATION OF PETERSON CASE Alabama Supreme Court Considering Motion for Re-hearing NEW YORK.—Charles H. Houston, member of the National Legal Committee of the N.A.A.C.P., and Edward P. Lovett, of Washington, have submitted a detailed and confidential report of investigation made for the N.A.A.C.P. in Alabama of the case of Willie Peterson, now under sentence of death for the murder of two white women and the wounding of a third one. The report is an exhaustive one and will form the basis for further determined action by the N.A.A.C.P. in its battle to save Willie Peterson from the electric chair. Motion for re-hearing, filed by N.A.A.C.P., attorneys is pending before the Alabama Supreme Court and decision is expected when the court reconvenes for the fall term. Sentiment is rapidly growing in Alabama, Messrs.

Death Rate Takes Sharp Drop The death rate of the colored group of Washington decreased 13.3 per 1,000 population per annum for the week ending September 2, as compared with the corresponding period in 1932, according to the weekly statistical statement released by Dr. W. C. Fowler. District health officer. The white group showed a decrease of 3.4 per cent. The number of colored deaths for the period were 41. The rate for 1932 was 19.2, this year it is 13.6. The number of births for the week was 82. The rate per 1,000 population per annum is stated to be 31.1, as compared with 16.4 for the white element. An analysis of the causes of the deaths among the colored group reveals the following highest tolls from contagious diseases: heart disease, 8; tuberculosis, 7; pneumonia, 5, and nephritis, 4. Recoveries reported were: scarlet fever, 7; diphtheria, 4; measles, 4; whooping cough, 3; pneumonia, 2, and tuberculosis, 1. There were also three homicides recorded for the period.

Levee Contractors' Code Under Attack for Tricky Discrimination Levee Contractors' Code Under Attack for Tricky Discrimination The Ruthless Exploitation of 30,000 Negro Workers on Government Financed Project Continued Under Code, Says Wilkins Strong protest against the exclusion of Negro labor on the Mississippi flood control projects from the provisions of the code of fair competition for the General Contractors Division of the Constructive Industry was made here last week by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People acting jointly with the newly formed Joint Committee on National Recovery. Roy Wilkins, assistant secretary of the N.A.A.C.P.; John-P. Davis, executive secretary of the Negro Industrial League and secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery; and Dr. Robert C. Weaver, technical advisor to the committee, collaborated in the drawing of the brief which was presented to Deputy Administrator Malcolm Muir, of the National Recovery Administration. In the brief filed with Deputy Administrator Muir, it is charged that the contractors' code specifically bars Negro workers on the levee from benefits under any minimum wage and maximum hours provisions. "In many codes thus far submitted the Negro workers have been forced to accept a lower minimum wage, but in this code no attempt has been made to give them even a lower minimum," said Roy Wilkins, who was here from New York for conferences on the code. Exploitation of Negro Workers Charged "The ruthless exploitation of the 30,000 unskilled Negro workers on government financed flood control project is continued by this code. It provides a minimum wage for construction workers in any case of 30 cents an hour, an eight-hour day and forty-eight hour week, but it excludes from the minimum wage provision workers who have had their wages fixed by a competent governmental authority, and from the maximum hours provision workers who are engaged in work deemed to be of an emergency nature. "The Negroes on the lower Mississippi River are the largest group covered by these general provisions so far as we can discover. Their wages, which average about 12 cents an hour, are arrived at with the approval of the War Department engineers. For years the fiction has been maintained that levee construction is emergency work, although such construction is permanent and is being carried on in a 10-to-15-year project." Mr. Wilkins, who dressed as a workman and visited the camps in the Mississippi delta region last December, declared the contractors' code as submitted by the industry will continue the Negro worker in "virtual slavery." Eleven-Hour Fifteen Cent Day for Laborers "The best wage any of them is getting now is 15 cents an hour for unskilled labor." he said. "The best day any of them is working is 11 hours, and this went into effect only last March under a War Department regulation made after numerous protests had been received on the 12- and 14-hour days previously worked." The Negro and interracial organizations active here through the Joint Committee on matters affecting Negroes under the NRA are: the Negro Industrial League, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, the National Baptist Convention, Inc., the National Negro Business League, the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Association, the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and the National Bar Association. The estimated unduplicated membership of Negroes in these organizations is 3,000,000. Attention has been centered on the labor conditions on the levees by two independent organizations, one by the American Federation of Labor in the latter part of 1931, and two by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1932. At the request of the latter organization Senator Robert F. Wagner introduced a resolution in the last Congress asking a senatorial investigation, which passed. Senator Wagner was named chairman of the committee and his colleagues on it are, Senator Hubert D. Stephens, of Mississippi, and Senator Gerald P. Nye, of North Dakota. The committee has not started its probe as only $1,000 was appropriated for the purpose. N.A.A.C.P. SECRETARY VOICES STRONG OPPOSITION NEW YORK.—Speaking here, Monday, Walter White, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., said: "If this is a specimen of the New Deal, then the outcook for the Negro is dark indeed. "The Negroes and their friends must rally and fight with all the power at their command to block these vicious provisions aimed to perpetuate virtual slavery of Ne- ```markdown ``` THE ROBERT H.

We are not going to be fooled by any trickery on the part of the contractors, government officials or anybody else. Mr. Wilkins is in Washington to voice unremitting opposition to this code as it now stand. "All interested persons should send telegraphs to Malcolm Muir, deputy administrator, and to Solomon Barkin and Michael McDough, members of the labor advisory board, demanding that hearings be held and opportunity given to voice the Negro's opposition to these discriminatory provisions. "Early in August the contractors on the Mississippi levee through Fred Beneke, agent of the Mississippi Valley branch of the Associated General Contractors, practically admitted all of the charges of exploitation of Negro labor made by the N.A.A.C.P. and promised to correct all of these evils under the code then in preparation. The N.A.A.C.P. has closely followed the code, and promptly upon obtaining a copy of it when submitted to General Johnson dispatched Mr. Wilkins to Washington to wage a fight upon its discriminatory provisions."

The business was not sold, neither was the company reorgan- ined. ‘Ail:the companies using colored agents and: writing colored risks were interviewed, offers were sub- mitted, and the circumstances Were gone into in detail, and finally the offer of the North Carolina Mutual was accepted.

On the other hand the young people’s congress which is com: posed of the B.Y.P.U. and the Sun- day School had voted to meet in Washington in June, 1934. Dr. W. H.

Jones Demands that Church Retire from Business States in Detail Activities That Should Be Left to Private Agencies; Says Consolidate Weak Schools; Pleads for United Work in Africa PITTSBURGH, Pa.—(ANP)—"The church must free itself from the criticism of predatory competing organization of business machinery," said Bishop E. D. W. Jones of the A.M.E. Zion church, in an address here last Sunday afternoon. The bishop, in his interview with an A.N.P. representative, stated with great candor that he believed that "the organized Negro church with its church extension boards performing the functions of real estate agencies, the church publishing houses doing work which would otherwise support the struggling commercial print shops owned by Negroes; the endowment funds and beneficial societies of the ministers denying our insurance companies of a desirable group for 'blanket' policies; together with a number of minor business activities of the church bodies is doing great damage by withholding from Negro business a tremendous patronage that it needs and should have." Race Needs Sound Economic Basis. "If the race does not soon acquire a sound economic basis, neither the church, nor anything else we have can endure long or be of genuine service. Let the church get back to first principles and provide for the spiritual welfare of our people and at the same time lend encouragement to the creation of a race business machine that will command the respect which always follows commercial independence." Bishop Jones, who is one of the militant and frank higher churchmen of the country, said further: "The Negro church must free itself of the criticism o' predatory, competing organization of business machinery within the church for profit only. It must reconstruct its religious program along lines of advanced modern spiritual discoveries, divorce itself from all business that savors of money speculating, leave th. field of unfair competition, among ourselves, thus dividing our patronage, to other members and groups of our race, turn its dynamic energies toward the building up of a strong, independent economic and industrial status that will at least give us the right to live and operate in this new day as lively aids to our constituencies. The church must render unto business the thing that belong to business and untold God the things that belong to Him. Church Should Give Up Publishing Business "The Negro church should separate itself from publishing house competition and hand that entirely over to the operation of those who have been technically trained for such, who have evidenced capacity to conduct such enterprises successfully and who only desire larger patronage to develop a larger, more substantial and profitable business. "The Negro church could well do without so many weekly newspapers. Every department in our denomination has a 'voice' when either of the larger denominations would be far better off with just one well edited, thought provoking, inspiring journal. It costs to run church papers, and any regulation that cuts the appropriations of large sums to support projects of this kind leaves the individual a portion to be used to aid other worthier race enterprises. The high efficiency standard our secular weeklies have set, printing more church news than church papers, has relegated most of our denominational issues to the shades and our masses now are clamoring and absolutely need the very news matter that they are now publishing. Let Insurance Companies Insure "The Negro church should surrender all of its bungles attempts at any sort of insurance. All of our insurance business should be given to Negro insurance companies and the church get out of this path of service and still live but also let live. Negro church leaders should confer with Negro insurance companies and devise ways and means to provide to pay premiums for our indigent, aged worn-out preachers, and money now scantily parcelled out to orphans should be invested in educational policies to assure the education of the children of the faithful warriors who have worn themselves out in our service. "Negro churches should immediately close up and out all of their non-rated schools and concentrate on one real, largely enrolled school of recognized standard and stop wasting the people's money on shadows. They are not table to pay high class teachers such as we need in all of our schools now, and therefore they squander funds on a mediocre teaching force and toy with the educational destiny of our youth. No Negro church now needs a school in every state nor no two or three denominations should have two or three schools in any single area. "Our church extension departments should be limited in their work to extending the Kingdom and the bargaining, selling and making of deals should be given to our real estate agencies now established in almost every town and city. Make United Effort in Africa "All of the Negro churches having 'just existing' missions and poorly paid missionaries in Africa, should unite and foster the setting up of a Native African Church teaching self-government, self-responsibility and native pride, in the meantime, greatly strengthening the cause of Christ among our exploited brothers and cementing the bonds of a universal black kinship. "What Africa needs is a United Negro America. The entire American Christian United Church should be behind Africa as one. If we continue to carry our fanatical religious differences to the teeming millions in Africa who need most to be united rather than divided, now that they are being enslaved and slaughtered by the nations of the earth, we are responsible for the weakness that is the result of disunion and their blood will stare us in the face through all generations. "The foreign mission projects of our American Negro denominations are far more costly than is justified by the good accomplished. We are dividing Africa into denominational factionalism that will ultimately turn and rend them. We should march against the enemies of Africa with our millions of Negro religionists, in a solid unbroken column and plant manhood, race pride, responsibility and the courage of defense, right by the side of the cross of Jesus Christ. "Firestone's millions would not be a match for an aroused, determined Christian union with its millions of moral aims and purposes and its incalculable energies. Finally, brethren, we must save our people from the hell of grinding, torturing debts and cease longer to heap upon their scanty means weighty, souless, ecclesiastical burdens."

PAIR OFFERS To Go "50-50" with Mt Zion Church in Raising $300.00 Warrenton, Va. September 9, 1933 The Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Warrenton, Virginia Dear Co-Workers: As pastor, it becomes my duty to call your attention to the fact that notwithstanding we have reduced the regular monthly expenses of the church twice during the last year and a half, our collections are still behind our expenses. The records show the church membership to be about 200, yet on September 1st it was behind about $265.00 in its regular expenses. It is therefore very necessary that we make further reductions in our expenses, and that each member do his best to do his part in giving something, every week, for the support of the church. RECOMMENDATIONS I therefore recommend: 1—First, that the six (6) officers of the church who now receive the same church pay, shall in the future receive one-half that amount, the janitor two-thirds, the organist three-fourths from the church and one-half from the Sunday chool and B.Y.P.U. of their present pay. 2—Second, that the church rally on the first Sunday in October, and on the first Sunday in December, to raise money with which to settle its unpaid bills. PASTOR'S OFFER 1—If these recommendations are approved, I hereby offer to go "50-50" and to give a dollar for every dollar which the church may collect on the first Sunday v in October up to $150.00. 2—And second, that my salary (which is already reduced from $70.00 to $45.00) is now reduced to $40.00 per month. As I have always done, I am still ready to lead the way, both to raise money with which to pay our bills, and to reduce the regular expenses of the church. I am yours to share every care and burden.

His work is especially important at this time when increased leisure provides a new social problem. Accepting the challenge presented by this problem, the union seeks to make leisure a blessing rather than a curse. And recommending good books is one of the means to that end. Mr. Freeman does that work for the union. Handling books is no new thing for Mr. Freeman. He has lived with them at least eight hours a day for thirty-three years. Back in 1900, he was appointed a messenger in the Library of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. He held this position until 1922, when he was promoted to librarian.

He has also served as assistant superintendent of the Sunday school and treasurer of the choir. He has been identified with the union for several years, serving as choriester, and as superintendent of the Tenth Legion.

This Writer Regarde Elder Mi- chaux as a Prophet and his Wife a Modern Esther To the Editor: The Bible is full of love stories. In the Old Testament it is discovered that the welfare of the race is in the keeping of a woman. Esther, so beautiful and charming, dedicated her life to God, that He may use her, just as He saw fit. She was willing at all times, no matter where, to do service for mankind. Even though she was beautiful, she did not allow her beauty to get the best of her, and make it a snare and stumbling block for others, but she gave it all to God for service. Esther was nothing but a poor orphan, had characteristics which were very outstanding. She was of a lovable disposition, full of courage and devotion. Like a magpie, she drew all greed to her—so much so that the great king took her into his household, educated her and she was trained as a "Child of God." Esther put principle above personal advantage and she sought in prayer to God for wisdom and guidance of deliverance. She practiced daily the inner life, so that she might ascend by holiness of life. When she had a problem to solve she fasted and prayed for three days and nights as did also those who looked to her for guidance. It was after fasting and praying that she portrayed her character when she attempted to save the Jewish nation. It was a case of life and death for her to make any attempts to see the King, but she went in faith and confidence and trust, and said, "I'll go, and if I pessim I'll perish." Can we not say that Mrs. Mary Michaux is another Esther? She too was an orphan; converted at the early age of nine. One Sabbath morning she was benig taught her lesson by an elderly gentleman when suddenly she went off into a trance and she had the vision of the "Good Samaritan." I am sure she caught the vision and realized from that day that humanity was in her keeping and that there was a place for her to fill and that no one else but her could fill it. This good and beautiful Esther of today began to search the scriptures and in it she found life eternal and rest for her soul. Mrs. Michaux married at an early age and is happy, but she never forgot her vision. She continued to seek and endeavor to do the work God would have her do. One day God spoke to Mrs. Michaux and He said: "Mary, you have married a prophet that shall lead the people out of Egypt; awaken him from his slumber and tell him to go to work in my vineyard." Mrs. Michaux obeyed the voice and immediately set in praying for her husband, and he found Christ in their bedroom kneeling down beside a trunk. From that time on the two have denied themselves to follow Jesus and they say they intend to go every step of the way. They have been through fire and flames, but still are holding on. Therefore the nation was in the keeping of a woman and Mrs. Michaux through divine guidance awakened her husband and roused him to a sense of duty, and it was through this "Ester Michaux" that the gospel is being sent to the four corners of the earth. M. N. F. Washington, D.C. An Appreciation of Our Community Civic Centers' Band. To the Editor: Our supreme musical organization is making an appeal for funds to assist in supplying them with needed and improved musical instruments and other equipment. The people of Washington are fortunate in having among them this organization—the Community Civic Centers' Band, led by Professor James E. Miller, who is that rare creature—a real music master. In developing this public-spirited group of musicians to their present state of artistic competence he has done a highly creditable job. The letter from the band last week set forth the grounds on which they are basing their appeal—thirteen years of public service without compensation. A few captious critics have been heard to say that the Marine Band and the Army Band play better. Well, they surely ought to—having the best instruments that money can buy, plenty of leisure to practice without outside work. The means of the individual musicians in the Community band does not permit the purchase of the best instruments, but even so, what private band in the city can compare with them? They deserve the generous help of the public. A CITIZEN.

North 0063 feets of an old family, I secured, after some spirited bidding, a copy of Boyd's Washington and Georgetown Directory, of 1858. Checking through it revealed much interesting data of that period. Many firms and business houses listed then were still in existence within present memory, among them Polkinhorn, who printed this directory; a Jimmy Le Fountaine, who still sells produce in Centre Market; Litz, leather goods, is on G Street; Ballantyne, on F Street; Burchell, on Fourteenth Street; Gilman on Pennsylvania Avenue; M. Behrend on Seventh Street. Two colored business places were Jones and Lee, feed dealers. Lee is operating in Georgetown. Cosatine Brumidi, who put the historical frieze around the rotunda of the capitol, lived on Indiana Avenue. Myrtilla Miner conducted a school at Twentieth and N Streets. The descendants of many of the early colored families may be interested to know their founders' names are listed in this old volume. I noted: Alexrnder Moore, Luke Madison, Chews, Over, Liverpool, David Atkins, J. F. Wilkinson, Lewis Wayne, Guerden Snowden, Andrew Tinney, James Wormley, John Chew, Geo.

CATHOLICS ABHOR MOB VIOLENCE IN RESOLUTION Resolutions denouncing mob violence, pledging support to President Roosevelt, renewing faith in the Cardinal Clibbons Institute and thanking the press for its co-operation were adopted by the Federation of Colored Catholics in its recent annual meeting held here at the Saint Augustine auditorium. The resolution committee composed of Eugene A. Clark, Miner Teachers' College president, and Edgar L. Kenney, of Washington, and Bernard E. Squires, of Cleveland, Ohio, drafted fourteen resolutions, all of which were approved and adopted by the federation with a desire to bring about a closer union and better feeling among all Catholics, and to advance the cause of religion an' education throughout the Negro population. Referring to it as a "shot on our civilization," the federation went on record as abhorring the barbarism which characterizes mob violence in various sections of the country. In another resolution, the federation's support to the President in his program to stabilize the economic situation in this country was pledged with a wish that the Negro will be included in all programs for betterment. In the resolution renewing the faith in the Gibbon Institute, school for Catholic Negro youth, the federation praised the work of Professor and Mrs. Victor Daniel who are in charge of the institute. A final resolution commended the Philadelphia committee for taking the initiative in reviving the federation and thanked the public press for its co-operation in giving publicity to the work of the organization.

Negro Will Have Voice in Industrial Recovery Plan BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Secretary of Commerce Calls Colored Advisory Conference Ten Invited Persons Hold Two-Day Session; Later Made a Permanent Advisory Group; Robert L. Vann Elected Chairman Capital News Service The decision to appoint the Colored Advisory Committee announced by Secretary Roper on September 9, is said to have been the direct outgrowth of a two-day conference held in the Department of Commerce, which followed the secretary's invitation to Negro leaders throughout the country to come to Washington and lay before the department and the National Recovery Administration a clear presentation of the economic problems that for years have confronted the colored people; likewise those problems that have arisen from recent economic legislation. The officially sponsored conference and the subsequent appointment of the all-colored advisory committee are regarded in certain official circles here as "the most important step ever taken under the wing of the government on matters pertaining to the Negro race in America." It is stated that considerable deliberation was expended by officials in the selection of the personnel invited to the conference, which later crystallized into the advisory committee, and that the selection was based strictly on a meritorious basis. Every man and woman invited to attend the conference had to be a recognized leader in his or her chosen field. Politics is said to have played no part in the conference. Intelligent Negro Representation Invited to attend the conference were: William H. Lewis, Boston attorney and former assistant to the Attorney General; Eugene Kinckle Jones, secretary of the Urban League; Dr. G. David Houston, principal of Armstrong High School, Washington, D.C.; Robert L. Vann, special assistant to the Attorney General; Garnett C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of public schools, Washington, D.C.; Dr. Mary F. Waring, president, National Association of Colored Women, Chicago, Ill.; Helen B. Grossley, Delaware State College, Dover, Del.; Benjamin F. Hubert, Georgia State College, Savannah, Ga.; Harry H. Pace, president, Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company, Chicago, Ill.; and the Rev. Marshall A. Talley, Indianapolis, Indiana. Vann Heads Committee the executive heads of the committee were elected by the accredited members of the conference themselves; Robert L. Vann, chairman, Harry H. Pace, executive vice chairman, and Dr. G. David Houston, secretary. Mr. Vann was the only member of the political "Big Four" asked to sit in the conference. When called from his offices in the Department of Justice, and on entering the conference room adjoining Secretary Roper's offices, he was surprised when told that the chairmanship had been tendered him. Objects of Conference The main purpose of the conference, that is the scope of its work, is stated to have been actuated by a desire on the part of the Secretary of Commerce and the National Recovery Administration to have a working knowledge and a clear perspective of the many problems confronting the Negro, and of procuring first hand information and competent recommendations for a long range program of constructive action in the field of Negro activities that lies under the jurisdiction of both the Department of Commerce and the Nationa. Recovery Administration. Special stress was laid on the preventive as well as the remedial measures that should be adopted to stem any disintegration of the Negro's economic status under the light of the present economic ord- QUICKEST BUS SERVICE SOUTH JACKSONVILLE IN 2012 HOURS LYNCHBURG—ONLY 6 HOURS Big do Luxe coaches with reclining chairs, FREE PILLOWS and porter service.

Both of the above are believed to have been officially advanced with the knowledge that under present conditions Negro business is a weak link in the new economic chain now being forged to strengthen the economic structure of the nation. Duties of Advisory Committee Although the committee has been officially designated a permanent unit empowered to study Negro problems as they come up from time to time, and of presenting them to the proper agencies with specific recommendations for their solution, its ground work revolves, at the present moment, around the Department of Commerce and the National Recovery Administration. It was stated however, that "all minor and major problems affecting the race" would be referred to the committee before acting on them. This makes, it is believed, the colored Advisory Committee the strongest recognized body of colored men and women in the history of the country. Conference Tackled Many Problems In almost two days and two nights of continuous deliberation, the committee tackled particularly every phase of Negro activity and its relationship to the general structure of the nation. Foremost among these were those of insurance, banking, commerce, labor unions and their relation to Negro labor; home loan banks, farm relief, education, public works employment, civil service, private employment and discriminatory State legislation. Many other problems and their manifold ramifications, not excluding the NRA and the economic problems it has precipitated, were taken up by the committee. Secretary Roper Addresses Conference Secretary Roper was the chief speaker of the conference. He spoke at the opening of the meeting immediately after C. F. Baldwin, white, assistant secretary to the regular Advisory and Planning Board, has explained the purpose of the conference. The Secretary displayed a keenly sympathetic interest in the work of the conference, and expressed himself as being heful that whatever was done would be with the broader vision of helping the general recovery of the nation. Other prominent men who spoke were: ex-Governor Sweet, of Colorado, who discussed the Industrial Recovery program, representing the NRA; Frank E. Wilson, chief of Public Relations for the NRA, and director of publicity on the Liberty Loan drives during the war; Congressman Oliver, of Alabama; Dr. Thorpe, chief of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, and Special Secretary McCall. Virgin Islands' Economy Situation Likely to Soon Improve ST. THOMAS, V.I. (CNS)—Leading citizens here and all the newspapers are optimistic in the Interior, and the government of the islands are taking in facilitating American capital interested in development of the Virgin Islands' sugar industry. Governor Paul M. Pearson has been in Washington, where he appeared at government hearings in connection with sugar allotments from various countries. The repeal of prohibition will play a great part in the future operations of the concern, it is said, since present plans call for the manufacture of rum and bay rum in addition to sugar, and contemplate the use of the Port of St. Thomas as a trans-shipment center with a bonded warehouse for sugar that will be sent from Haiti to be refined at the company's works at St. Croix. It is stated that more than $1,000,000 of American capital will be invested in the sugar industry of the Virgin Islands if negotiations now being carried on by the Haitian-American Sugar Company, with headquarters at Port au Prince, Haiti, for the purchase of the Bothelem sugar interests of St. Croix are successful. STUDENTS DEMANDED "HANDS OFF CUBA" IN DEMONSTRATION NEW YORK (ILD)—Students and other members of youth organizations demonstrated against American domination in Cuba at 11:30 a.m., last Wednesday, under the leadership of the National Student League. The demonstrators met at South and Whitehall Streets near the Cuban consulate, and marched to the sub-treasury building on Wall Street. Slavery and Economics By WILLIAM PICKENS Perhaps the following dialogue between Horace Greeley and Brigham Young will be better appreciated if we give the background of the incident of my quoting it here. On one of my trips to Salt Lake City I had a good deal of fun laughing at the Mormons about their hypocrisy on the race question. Almost any American religious sect would afford amusement when measured by its sincerity in respect to American Negroes. I called attention to the fact that the Mormons had made them a God and a religion which did not allow black people to go to "heaven." They had reasoned that when the war was on in heaven, led by Satan, the blacks had sided with Satan, and so had gone out with the losing crowd. Therefore they never took any Negroes into their church. And then I called attention to the fact that Brigham Young, the founder of the Mormon sect, had got around this little difficulty when it was to Young's advantage to get around it: just as Mohammed did—when he wanted another wife, or wanted to do anything else not allowed in the Koran so far, he simply went out, had another interview with God, got another communication, and wrote an addendum to the Koran: that a believer, or Mohammed in particular, could have thirteen wives instead of only a dozen—and so on. Now Brigham Young had one good Negro slave whom he did not see how he could ever do without, even in heaven. Therefore, the rules were suspended so that this one Negro servant could go to heaven when he died and look after Marse Young. Being the biggest of the Mormons, Young simply used his pull with God, and so got a suspension or an exception written into the Versailles Treaty that had ended the war in heaven. Mormons Owned Slaves In having all this fun, I of course had to bring out the fact that the Mormons had had slaves—those who wanted to have them and found them profitable to keep. This shocked the Mormons of the present: they knew such little about their own buried past that they did not know that they or their forebears had ever been so wicked as to hold even excommunicated Negroes in slavery. They denied the truth of what I said. People are like that; some of these days, 500 years from now at the latest, the descendant of Cole Blease and Huey Long are going to draw their guns and start a fight on the spot when some nosy historian stands up and says that the contemporaries and ancestors of Blease and Long once burned men alive and shot them and hung them without a hearing—or segregated them like diseased cattle. They will call the pesky historian a liar, just as these Mormons called me—behind my back. But the Mormons had to take it back, at least silently, for there was one man at the meeting who heard me, and who decided to find out just who was the liar—the Mormon hypocrite or the speaker. His name is Jack Beller. He is in the United States Weather Bureau. He went down to the "records" of the Mormonons and found a whole list of the buyings and cellings of slaves, names, dates, prices—all recorded in the "buried" and forgotten records of the great Mormon city. Jack Beller got so interested that he kept on unearthing the fossils of Mormon geology, and among them he discovered a two-hour interview which Horace Greely of New York had with Brigham Young in 1859, when Greely made a journey across the continent—which was an event in that date. I quote here a part of the section of that conversation which related to slavery. The thing is really its own commentary: Greely Meets Brigham Horace Greely: What is the position of your church with respect to slavery? Brigham Young: We consider it a divine institution, and not to be ablished until the curse pronounced on Ham shall have been removed from his descendants. H. G.: Are any 'slaves' held in this territory? B. Y.: There are. H. G.: Do your territorial laws uphold slavery? B. Y.: Those laws are printed—you can read for yourself. If slaves are brought here by those who owned them in the states, we do not favor their escape from the services of their owners. H. G.: Am I to infer that Utah, if admitted as a member of the Federal Union, will be a slave state? B. Y.: No; she will be a free state. Slaves here would prove useless and unprofitable. I regard it generally as a curse to the masters. I myself hire many laborers and pay them fair wages; I could not afford to own them. I can do better than subject myself to an obligation to feed and clothe their families, to provide and care for them in sickness and health. Utah is not adapted to slave-labor.

SEPTEMBER 14. 1935 Amenia Conference Suggests New Union Labor Movement Says White and Black Workers Should Unite for Common Political and Economic Welfare; Existing Organizations Have Failed NEW YORK—(NAACP)—A suggested general program for future action of the Negro involving the union of white and black workers in a labor movement to direct economic and political life was outlined at a week-end conference of thirty-one young Negro students, teachers and writers at Amenia, N.Y., August 18-21. The conferences, among them men whose work has stamped them as coming leaders of Negro thought, were the guests of J. E. Spingarn, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at his country estate, "Troutuck." The findings of the conference have just been made available by the committee. In addition to advocating a new labor movement, it is suggested that Negroes, regardless of seeming class differences within the race, must unite more closely in the interests of the group's economic welfare. Existing Agencies Have Failed Existing agencies for the welfare of the Negro have evolved no methods or philosophy to change the historic status of Negro labor, the conference found, and have failed to realize the necessary alignment of black and white labor. The whole system of private property and private profit is being questioned "because individual ownership, expressing itself through the control and exploitation of natural resources and industrial machinery, has failed in the past to equalize consumption with production," the conference declared. The traditional labor movement in America is also ineffective in uniting white and black labor, the conference found, because of its craft structure and its objective of controlling jobs and wages for a minority of skilled white workers. A new labor movement, with Negroes as active participants, is suggested. "Its activities," says the report, "must be political as well as economic for the purpose of effecting such social legislation as old age pensions, unemployment insurance, the regulation of child and female labor, etc." "These social reforms may go to the extent of a change in the form of the government itself," the report continues. "The conference sees three possibilities: (1) fascism, (2) communism, (3) reformed democracy. Communism Impossible "The conference is opposed to fascism because it would crystallize the Negro's position at the bottom of the social structure. Communism is impossible without a fundamental transformation in the psychology and attitude of white workers on the race question and a change in the Negro's conception of himself as a worker. "In the process of reform the interests of the Negro cannot be adequately safeguarded by white pateralism in government. It is absolutely indispensable that in this attempt of the government to control agriculture and industry there be adequate Negro representation on all boards and field staffs." "There has been no attempt," says the report, "to disparage the older type of leadership. We appreciate its importance and contributions, but we feel that in a period in which economic, political and social values are shifting rapidly and the very structure of organized society is being revamped, the leadership which is necessary is that which will integrate the special problems of the Negro within the larger issues facing the nation." Participants Not to Talk Inasmuch as the conference was one for free discussion, the frank statements of the members during the deliberations were voted as private matter. Only the conclusions, which summarized, the three-day discussions, are made public. No attempt was made to lay down a concrete program for administrative action by any organization or group. The conference was called to make a critical appraisal of the Negro's existing Cedar Haven News Mrs. Ella Gunnell had as her guests, Sunday, at her beautiful summer home "White Cedars" in Cedar Haven, J. C. Sutton, Miss Rice and Miss Dorothy Gunnell, Jeremiah Scott and James E. Ware continue to entertain large parties at the Wood-Thro-Lite Club, the wide veranda and spacious rooms of the club house offering pleasant and comfortable relaxation after a vigorous swim or tramp along the beach. Mormons and that they all concurred in these views. It is clear that there were slaves in the land of the Mormons, and that the relative nuance of the slave-holdings war. not due to any religious or moral opposition to the system. The Mormons regarded it as a "divine institution," but found it unprofitable, as a rule, in their economy. STARDUST situation in the changing American and world scene and to considered underlying principles for future action. Elmer A. Carter, editor of Opportunity magazine, was elected chairman of the conference and served on the findings committee. Other officers of the conference, also members of the findings committee were: Anna Arnold, New York and Hazel E. Browne, Louisville, Ky., secretaries. Other committee members: Ira DeA. Reid, New York and Abram L. Harris, Washington, D.C.; Mabel Byrd, Chicago; and Charles H. Houston, Washington, D.C., chairman. The average age of the conferences was 32. All except one were college graduates; a number had advanced degrees and three had degrees of doctors of philosophy. There were twenty men and eleven women. Conference Faced Difficult Job This is the second conference held at Amenia. The first, in 1916, brought together older leaders of the race to devise a common basis upon which all elements of Negro thought could work for the benefit of the race. One of the spokesmen at the second Amenia conference pointed out that in 1916 the conferences were faced only with the problem of how to secure for the Negro his place in an order which was deemed to be permanent. The second Amenia conference, on the other hand, was confronted with a swiftly changing world scene in which monarchies and democracies have topped and many doctrines thought revolutionary and impossible in 1916 are in vogue. Its problem of analyzing the Negro's predicament and suggesting a way out was, therefore (Continued from page 1) work for Pappa Hoskins, aren't you?" he asked. She nodded in reply. "And, believe me," Sam put in, "she really packed 'em in for Pop!" "You're telling me!" Jimmie's face turned glum. "Between the two of them, they just about ruined me last month. I couldn't get a decent crowd into my place the whole time. And now," he went on morosely, "Pop has got Nita Alden back. That'll make it even worse. I've been worried all week, trying to find somebody to off-set her." "There's just one person who could draw the crowds away from Nita Alden." Sam said, "and here she is, right before you, ready to go to work" Jimmie snapped his fingers and his face brightened. "Is that right, Starling?" he asked. "Are you free? I thought you'd have so many offers—" "She has," Sam put in, "hundreds of them." "But because you've been my friend so long, and because I hold you in such high esteem—" Jimmie laughed. "You can cut that," he said. "What I want to know is, does Starling sign with me or doesn't she?" "Offhand," Sam declared, "I would say she does." He rubbed his hands together as he reached for a contract: blank and fountain pen. pem. "STARLING GRANT" The words were spelled out in letters a foot high, flickering above the canopied entrance of the Silver Slipper Club. They seemed to offer open challenge to a second sign, just as large and just as bright and just as glittering, which cast its gleam across the street from Pappa Hoskins's place, proclaiming that Nita Alden had returned to the scene of her earlier triumphs. Starling knew from the very beginning that the odds would be against her in her new position. Nita Alden's name meant more than her's; it was on every tongue, now that she had divorced her self-styled Marquis and returned to Harlem. Nital Alden's husky voice had thrilled Harlem's gay night crowds for many a year, and still retained its strident charm. Nita Alden was beautiful, her form and face still were perfect— But these things seem to fade into insignificance as the nights went by, for Starling found that the crowds were miraculously beginning to desert Pappa Hoskins's place and to flock into Jimmy's for their after-midnight entertainment. Jimmie was elated. "They come in here for just one thing," he said, "and that's to hear you sing." Starling smiled at his compliment, but she knew better why they were deserting the Blue Bird for the Silver Slipper. A new and potent force was behind the change, and that force was Rob Berry, the Mad Baron of Blah, who led Harlem's Dawn Patrol about pretty much as he pleased. pretty much as he pleased. It was a well-known fact that much more difficult. A continuation committee to consider the practical implications of the suggested program, has the following members: Charles H. Houston, temporary chairman; Ira DeA. Reid, Abram L. Harris, Mabel Byrd, Roy Wilkins, Ralph Bunche, and E. Franklin Frazier. The complete list of conferee: Virginia M.

Perry B. Jackson Elected to Ohio City Council CLEVELAND, Ohio—Perry B. Jackson, one of Ohio's prominent attorneys, and a former member of the Ohio General Assembly, was elected as a member of the city council to succeed to the seat made vacant by the resignation of Attorney Clayborne George, who is a candidate for judge of the municipal court. Jackson was recentl, elected president of the Ohio State Association of Elks, and is also identified with the Masons and Tabors. He is an active member of the Cleveland Bar Association; the Cuyahoga County Bar Association; and is identified with numerous other civic, fraternal and political movements of this city. During the 1932 campaign Jackson represented the colored group on the Republican County Campaign committee. even the briefest hint dropped by Rob in his column might work wonders in the acceptance or disapproval of something that was new. Such was precisely what happened in Starling's case. Rob came, saw, and approved of her, and at once broadcast the fact to the thousands who religiously grasped at his every word. The result was an overflow of patronage that startled no one quite so much as Starling herself. "You were awfully good to me, Rob," she said a few weeks later, when her success had been assured. "Without your help, I could never have done it." Rob smiled and stopped his car in a dark spot along the deserted highway. They had been driving since two in the morning, when Starling had finished her night's work, and now it was almost dawn. He put his arm about her and she smugged cozily close to him. "It was the very least I could do," he said. "You looked like a pretty nice girl, and you needed a break—" Starling seemed to recoil away from him. "You make a specialty of that, don't you, Rob?" she accused. "Of what, honey?" "Of giving girls—all the pretty nice girls—a break." "Well, what else is a guy to do?" She shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not saying you're wrong, Rob," she said. "You've got a perfect right to live your life any way you want to. But didn't you ever think of sticking to one girl, Rob, for more than a week at a time?" He laughed. "What the devil are you driving at this time?" She dropped her head to his shoulder. "Oh, Rob—" "I've heard so much about you, about your love affairs. So many girls have loved you—really and truly—and you've let them down. I should have known better than to let myself—" He looked down at her in amazement. "Star, you're crying!" He took her chin tenderly and turned her face up to him. He smiled at the tears which glistened in her eyes. "You—you haven't begun to imagine yourself in love with me, have you, Star?" She shook her head, biting her upper lip between her teeth to keep it firm. "I imagine!" He tried to soothe her. "Don't be foolish," he said. "You know how much I like you—" "Like!" She tried hard to hold back the tears. "Rob, don't you love me even just a little bit?" He smiled and nodded. "Ummuh." "But just a little bit?" "Just a little bit." She smiled and braced herself "Even that's something," she said comforted. "Now kiss me, Rob and take me home...." Don't miss the next chapter of this thrilling serial.

A QUANDARY My last well-intended epistle on wine, women, song, etc., was the recipient of many a verbal brick-bat from members of the "weaker sex." But I was not in the least bit surprised at their attempts to create a defense impregnable for them and theirs. Such action is contemporary with the present day vogue for permitting an unchallenged freedom to exist in the lives and affairs of the female element. And yet I have often wondered whether or not women were not destined to live on this earth for the sole purpose of inspiring man to do the wrong and the wicked. The glamour and sex appeal of the historic Eve catapulted the unsuspecting Adam from his beloved and beautiful Garden of Eden into a land of strife, sorrow and turmoil. Today man must continue to pay the price and penalty for the offense of the "first woman that ever lived." But, perhaps, I must not be too critical of the "saviours and praverers of posterity." For since when has man himself become immune from wrong-doing? **** "The honeymoon is over when a man stops praising his wife." * * * * Elder Michaux must either be a very sinecer man or the world's greatest actor. If you were to ask me for my opinion, I would be tempted to give him the benefit of the doubt, so far as the earnestness of his convictions are concerned. I must admire him for his constant references to the goodness and graciousness of "his handmaiden." Evidently the good elder is in love with his wife. At least that is the impression that he gives me. In the modern interpretation of life and especially regarding the subject of marriage, it is now considered to be quite unorthodox for a married man to continue to shower his wife with poetic expressions of his devotion and other whisperings of sweet nothings after he has been in "the well known limelight." Witness the conduct of such personages of distinction as Jimmy Walker, the dapper and magnetic ex-mayor and play boy of New York City; Maurice Chevalier, Max Baer, just to mention a few of the more widely known personalities. When success caught up with them, the little lady was given a back seat, and was convincingly instructed to "sit tight and keep quiet." Now here appears on the horizon a magnetic leader who casts all traditions and customs to the winds and sets his wife up on a glorious pinnacle so that every interested human being may notice her and say "Truly the elder is a most remarkable fellow. He loves his wife." THE CHANT OF THE FLAPPER Hand on my heart, I'll keep to my promise, And never, forever, love more than three: Faith, I'll impart to each doubting Thomas, And never, forever, love more than three: One to amuse me, One who pursues me, And one to be everything else to me; One who is willing, And one who is thrilling, And one to be dearest of all the three. —Fairfax Downey.

All-Star Independent, Departmental Teams Named All-Star 1933 Independent Baseball Team TWELVE All-Star All-Star 1933 Indepen By SAM LACY, Sports Edi Williams ..... 1 Ashford ..... 1 Fauntroy ..... 1 Whitlock ..... 1 Jackson ..... 1 Johnson ..... 1 Turner ..... 1 Black ..... 1 Randolph ..... 1 Stewart ..... 1 Berry ..... 1 A person attempting to pick an all-star team of any kind is confronted with all sorts of problems. They are too numerous to mention here, but they will b recognized as they are encountered in reading the reasons offered by me for my selections. It might be appropriate, however, to say here that in the opinion of the writer the ability of a player to fit into a combination by virtue of disposition or certain physical attributes which do not necessarily make him the best individual player for the position involved, will at times influence the selection of that player. In view of the number of votes cast for Geechie Williams for the left field post, your correspondent does not feel that it is necessary to offer any reasons for his choice. This cannot be accepted as true in the case of the choice for right field, and there are many who will doubtless criticize me for this selection. But in Ben Ashford, the Georgetown Athletics possess a jewel, if the opinion of the writer means anything. Here is a man, fairly fast for his heft, a good fielder and an exceptional batter. Swinging from the left side of the plate, Ashford is considered an ideal running mate for the fleet, but light hitting Fauntroy in center and the hard hitting right hander, Williams, in left field. Few players possess a better temperament than Doo Dad Dorsey's star. Bill Fauntroy, with no peer as a defensive player, steps up to the plate and immediately the opposing infielders get jumpy. They feel that if the ball comes on the ground to them they will need a sling-shot in order to get it to first base ahead of the flying runner. This psychological effect Fauntroy has on alien infielders makes him a good offensive man. Whitlock Gets Edge Johnny Moore, the stellar Virginian who has made quite a name for himself hereabouts, loses many decisions at first base, because of his willingness to take his infielders' throws as they are. He does not stretch. Whitlock, on the other hand, nabs many decisions from opposing runners by his ruber-like antics. The Georgetown first-sacker is steadier and has the advantage of experience over Hawkins, of Huntsville. Whitlock's supremacy might have been seriously menaced, however, by Dick Temple, of Hillsdale, had not the latter been suffering from the recurrence of an old football injury which left him deplorably weak in throwing. Cast out of position, Temple's play was comparatively rough. Jelly Jackson and Runt White of the Hillsdales, were standouts at second base with Dick Clark, of Aztecs, surpassed by only these two. It might well be a toss-up between the first pair for the honor. Both are fighters. Jackson is speedier on the bases, though the 'Dale performer is by no means a hitching-post. Both are superb fielders, with the Royal star possessing the stronger throwing arm. At the plate White come into his own. There is no comparison between the two as hitters. Now, there's a problem. It took me exactly three weeks to decide that with the wealth of offensive power in my line-up, I might be excused for sacrificing White's hitting proclivities for the fleeter, harder throwing Jackson. Manager Johnson is Good Johnson, younger than Clee Smith of LeDroit, a better batter than Harris of Aztecs and a surer fielder and steadier influence than West, of the Washington Barons, gets the call for my hot corner, instead of being handicapped. Johnson appeared to have been helped by the responsibilities incident to his job as manager of the Hillsdales. He was also unanimously chosen for the position in the Departmental League. There are many of my readers who will doubtless criticize me for naming whom I do for the short-stop berth, when it is taken into consideration that he apparently quit his team at the height of the championship tournament. But with the assurance given, in a talk with him, that he was sick and of the opinion that he could not have given his best to his team in its game with the Anacostia Athletics this writer overlooked what, without his explanation, appeared to be desertion. At no time during his baseball life, with which the writer is well acquainted, has Soup Turner played better ball than was his lot to turn out this season. The Hillsdale shortstop's choice was threatened by no one in the city for the position occupied by him. Only Crump, of Huntsville, even approaches him. But the former is a better batter, a steadier fielder and having improved on his personality, has become more of an asset. Tecumseh Moore, of the Virginia Quicksteps, showed a glaring weakness in the late days LION OFFICIALS O.K. HAMPTON GRIDMEN JERSEY GRID START WORK on balls to his right and at the pivot for double plays. Barty Black, making a come-back after a temporary lay-off, became the outstanding catcher of the season. He received, batted, and handled pitchers and threw with the best of the lot. I tossed Buck Scott, Baron star, over the fence when I saw him quit cold in a game with the Elite Panthers at Walker Stadium recently. Other than this flaw in his mental attitude, Scott's qualities would certainly have given me another job to choose between Black and him. Butler Declines Ott Butler, for some reason on other, has sunk from a star to an ordinary catcher. The Georgetowner's decline might well be attributed to his apparent i.difference (which is quite different from coolness) when his team is in difficulty. His batting fell like a ton of bricks. Randolph, of Huntsville, turned up next to Black. His value to his team increased as he confined his diamond activites to catching. The record of Ossie Stewart, who has struck out 88 batters in 73 innings, makes him the major-domo among the season's pitchers. A wide, sweeping curve ball, a commendable fast ball and a most deceptive change of pace is to be found in the repertoire of the stellar Anacostia moundsman. Berry, his teammate, is not only as good as any of a host of good local pitchers, but is a valuable utility man and a reliable batter for pinch roles. He gets my choice. ATLANTIC CITY, N.Y. The indoor gridiron in the Atlantic City convention hall offers fine facilities for an improved Howard-Lincoln game, was the opinion expressed yesterday by Jule Martin, head coach of the Lincoln Lions, following an inspection of the huge auditorium. For several years the Howard-Lincoln game has been infected with an epidemic of fumbling due largely to extreme weather conditions. This, Coach Martin thinks, will be completely eliminated inside where the players will be free from frozen fingers. He said that the Atlantic City game should be the high light of Negro football during this season. Dr. Walter G. Alexander, president of the Lincoln University alumni association of Orange, N.J., and "Father of Athletics" at Lincoln, was also in town Sunday and gave the shore project the official O.K. of the "Old Guard." Reservation for tickets, rooming accommodations and other information can be secured from C. M Cain, 1711 Arctic Avenue, Atlantic City, N.J. Southern Conf. Coaches and Officials Meet ATLANTA, Ga.—The annual meeting of the Southern Conference Coaches and Officials Association was held at the Butler Street Y.M.C.A., beginning at 10 o'clock Saturday morning with the largest enrollment of coaches and officials in attendance since the organization was started nine years ago. With the business disposed of at the morning session, the afternoon was devoted to interpreting the rules, assigning officials for the games listed on the 1933 schedule, and arranging the basketball schedules for the 1933-34 season. The following officers were elected: Wallace O. Hawkins, Knoxville college, president, succeeding B. T. Harvey; W. H. Kindle, Talladega vice-president; and Cleva L. Abbott, Tuskegee Institute, was re-elected secretary-treasurer. Atlanta was selected as the meeting place in September, 1934. George Adams, Local Golfer, Scores in National Open Tourney Dr. George W. Adams, lone representative of the capital city in the National Open Golf Tournament, held in Chicago, the first three days of this month, won the second flight trophy over a fast field. Dr. Adams made the trip to the Windy City in spite of the handicap he knew he faced in competition with players who could boast of a respectable practice course. Washington has none for Negroes. His performance was brilliant and struck a note of favor among the many golfing enthusiasts from all over the country who attended. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1933 TOURNEY WINNER TO BE FETED AT MURRAY CASINO Championship Nine to be Given Trophy at Party; Public Invited The Washington Tribune Sports Department, Monday night, engaged the Murray Palace Casino for the night of Monday, October 2, as the scene for the Tribune Tournament Party to be tendered the winning team at the close of the Round-Robin Baseball Championship series. The party will be given in honor of the championship team and a trophy, offered by The Washington Tribune newspaper, will be presented. Managers and captains of the contesting teams will be honored guests, as will also the two winners of The Tribune Star-Game, just closed. Plans are already underway to make the undertaking a huge success in the way of promoting interest in organized athletic competition in the capital city. Several outstanding figures in the national pastime have received letters from the Sports Editor in the hope that one of them will accept the invitation to be present and make the trophy presentation. Members of the remaining three teams will be requested to purchase tickets. The price of these will be merely enough to cover the plate repast that is to be served. There is no desire on the part of the management to commercialize on the project. The public may also obtain these cards of admission Tickets may be obtained anytime up to Saturday, 1 o'clock p.m., September 30. None will be available after that time. This deadline is set so that the promoters may have ample time to determine how many plates will have to be ordered for service. LAWRENCE I. BROCKENBURY HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. Twenty-six men answered the initial call of head coach, Gideon Smith, for football practice at Hampton on September 1. Included in this group were a few of last year's lettermen, among them being Captain-elect "Heavy Rivers" guard; "Chief Bender" Hooker; Edwards, and Richmond, backs; "Al" Farmer, center; Glover and Parham, tackles; Crockett, end. Most of the others are products of last year's inter-class contestants. All who came out have been hard at work doing setting-up exercises, calisthenics, and a little passing and kicking. Coach Smith and his assistant, "Buck" Neilson, face a rather difficult task of rebuilding a machine that has been seriously damaged by the loss of some of its main cogs, among them being former captain "Hi" Harris, who graduated, and little Arnette Beam who was forced to drop out of school after a severe attack of pleurisy. Financial conditions will probably again play havoc with the chances of the newly-named Pirates, for there is still much doubt as to whether many of last year's stars will be able to return to their studies next week. The list of doubtfuls include "Birk" Bell, Hamm, "Fishhead" Weatherford, "Slim" Shelton, Jimmy Unthank, and Roper, pivot man. Wiley Wildcats to Start 1933 Gridiron Grind By U. G. LEE MARSHALL, Tex.-The Wiley Wildcats will begin football practice on Monday, September 11, at which time Coach Long will be faced with the big task of replacing four of the important cogs of the 1932 national champions. Coley Combs, center, ex-captain Crip Loving, All-American tackle; Higgs, sensational fullback, and tackle; Hill, punter and halfback; and Humphrey and Rhodes, guards will be the members of the great Wildcat eleven of 1932 that will be missing. Two Amateur Tournaments Left for Amateur Golfers Two tournaments are in prospect for individuals of this city interested in golf, for the near future, The Eastern Amateur and the District Amateur are the two matches yet to be played. The Easterns will be held in New York City, the latter part of this month, with Harry Jackson, crack Washington entrant, defending the title he captured in the 1931 and 1932 tournays. Jimmie Williams, local amateur champion, will be called on to defend his laurels over the Lincoln Memorial Links, early in October.

QUINC ADAMS Director of Physical Education Armstrong High School, Washington, D.C. Mr. Adams is brother to Cato Adams whose articles, "Trials and Anxieties of a Baseball Coach," appeared in pre- 毕业 magazine, and in Washington biography. He graduated from Warrenton in 1915, and from Harvard College in 1925. He began his teaching career at Francis Junior High School in 1927. In 1938 he was promoted to his presi- tion position as the head of the Newton Miller, son of Professor Kelly Miller, of Harvard University. SECOND INSTALLMENT In Rome, meanwhile, they had been trying out a simple sort of medicine ball, called "follies," but when the Roman foreign legions were given "Camps" and their first view of Harpaston, they promptly fell for the hectic passing and running of the Greek game. Forthwith they "latinized" the name of the sport to Harpaston, and took it back home. From that day on "follies" was forgotten. Harpaston was still the rage in Rome when Caesar became imperator. Recognizing the possibilities of the game as a conditioner for his soldiers and a grand generator of college spirit, he banned all ticket scalping and appointed his favorite philosopher a Rules Committee of one to roughen up the game and "put something in it." When Julius Caesar invaded Gaul in 72 B.C. he had it in mind to introduce Harpaston among the savage Teutons—as a refining art no doubt. To his amazement, he discovered that these savage tribes were already playing a crude game of their own in which they used severed heads of their enemies for footballs. It was on this occasion that Caesar first gave vent to the quaint expression "There's nothing new under the sun." On this same trip Coach Julius introduced Harpaston to the aborigines of England, to excellent purpose it would The Washington Royals won and lost on their two-day stay in North Carolina, late last week. Playing in High Point, Thursday, the local outfit went down to a 10-7 decision, but evened their score for the series by taking the measure of the Durham Red Sox. The score, Friday, was 16-5. Six errors tells the story of the capital city's loss. Sinky Robinson, ace of the Royal staff, was charged with the defeat in spite of the fact that he gave up only six hits. An early 5-0 lead was tossed away as the Washington lads ered time and again. The 15 strike-outs Robinson achieved also went for naught as his defense crumpled. The offerings of two Durham pitchers were pounded for a total of 15 hits in the Friday encounter, Jazz Coleman was the chief offender, the big Royal first baseman connecting for four hits.

This was in 217 A.D., when the inhabitants of Chester, forming a mighty wedge drove the Roman garrison out of the town forever. In fitting celebration of this historic event English and Scotch teams annually played for n.any centuries, a great game of football on Shrove Tuesday. To recount the story of English football from the days of the Roman occupation to the present would be like attempting the history of England itself. The game met with many vicissitudes. The Edwards II and III, the Henrys IV, VI and VII, and Elizabeth forbade it on the ground that incessant participation resulted in yeomen having no time left for the necessary practice of archery. It must have been engrossing. Despite these prohibitions, football waxed and throve mightily, and a fierce sport it must have been, for even in the wild days of Robin Hood, Sir Thomas Elyot wrote of football: "...wherein is nothing but beastic fury and extreme violence whereof proceeded hurte, and consequently rancour and malice to remayne with them that be wounded." On Shrove Tuesday, at Teddington and Twickersham, shopkeepers would cover their windows with boards for protection thereof. Sometimes whole parishes and towns played each other with every sound man taking part. The field might be several miles in length and it ran over hill and lane, regardless of trees, houses, and brooks thereon. The game never ended until nightfall unless one team managed to kick the ball into the other team's town before. We may wonder how many officials (and surgeons) handled these games. (To Be Continued) The Washington Pirates journeyed to Massie's Mill, Va., last week-end and divided a double-header evenly with the outfit representing that locality. The home team was on the long end of a 5-4 score in the opener, but dropped the night cap by the same margin of a single run, 3-2. Both Oley and Giles pitched superbly for the Virginians allowing only 9 hits between them for the 18 innings of play. The former gave up only five hits in capturing the matinee contest. The four hits they garnered in the finale were made to count by the alert playing of the visitors who created breaks for themselves and then took advantage of them.

Ye Ole Cock Crows ```markdown ``` AZTEC A. C. EVENS SCORE WITH'DALES WIN 8-7 Hughes's Wildness Aids in Southwest Victory; Williams's Clout a Feature SATURDAY—Jimmie Carroll's Aztec A.C. turned tables on the Hillsdale A.C. nine in their second meeting of The Tribune Round-Robin Tournament, at the Monument Grounds, today. A four-run rally in their half of the ninth inning converted a threatened loss into a win, the final score being 8-7. Hillsdales' valiant effort in their closing frame fell one short of the mark. Jimmie Hughes, Ernie Johnson's mound choice because of his performance on the Saturday previous against the same outfit, pitched a better game than the combined efforts of Garland and Price, Aztec portsiders. Wildness, however, which netted his opponents six bases on balls, had much to do with the loss of the decision. This siege of lost control gave two bases on balls in the fateful ninth. Those along with an error of judgment on the part of Johnson filled the bases and paved the way for a most convenient pebble to deflect the course of a smashing grounder past third base to clean the paths and count four tallies. The 'Dales came to bat with blood in their eyes and backs to the wall. Two men found their ways to safety on the runways after two were out. Geechie Williams, star Hillsdale left-fielder, connected with one of Price's slants and carried it on a line to deep left field. The two runners ahead of the big LeDroit Parker scored, but fast fielding on the part of Strawberry Butler and a perfect relay from him to Wynne Harris to Boyd Brown nipped Williams at the plate, thus cutting off what would have been the tying run.

Pitcher Managers and officials of the 1933 league met, last Saturday night, for the purpose of selecting an allstar team for the season recently closed by that organization. Seven regular performers were picked, two catchers and two pitchers. The individuals were named by popular vote. Wherever there was a difference of opinion, the meeting discussed openly the merits of the players involved. Above is a result of the voting. Four men, Bill Faustroy, Runi White and Geechie Williams, of Commerce, and Ernie Johnson, of Post Office, were unanimously selected for their respective positions. One outfield post, two infield and all four battery positions were filled after short debates, with each losing voter voicing a satisfaction at the outcome. Sam Lacy, of Post Office, and Toots Brown of Commerce, were the two named for the right field position. The former, admittedly no match for Fauntoy, stellar fly chaser of the champion Commerce outfit, was moved over to right field, a position he did not play all the year, because of his offensive efforts for the season.

But when John Tatum, official scorer of the league, stated that Lacy had led the league in batting, the Post Office player was given this favor. Whitlock's superior and smoother fielding in a position that has been his lot since entering baseball, was chosen in preference to the better hitting Dick Temple, Post Office initial guardian. The committee agreed that the weaker stickman's sterling defensive ability offered more balance to an outfit of this kind. Hood, of Treasury, and Moore, of Commerce, were both voted down when the versatility of Crump, shortfielder for the G.P.O. aggregation, was discussed. Butler and Randolph, of Treasury and G.P.O., respectively, won out over such catchers as Twyman, of Commerce, and Payne, of Post Office, although both the latter had their supporters.

FOURTEEN Theatrically Speaking With ANDY ANDERSON YOUR MAN ANDERSON is very well pleased this week, in fact, Your Man is happy over the findings of the last 1,500 hours in the local theacrical world, believe me. First of all, Your Man had the pleasure of ambling into the newly renovated Lincoln on last Friday, for the first time since its re-opening, and what he saw did him proud indeed. The Lincoln, as it now stands, is one of the most beautiful houses in the goup of race theatres, and from the very front entrance to its screen it carries an attactiveness which gives you that cheerful feeling when you first enter. Deeply carpeted aisles, freshly painted murals on the walls, sunken lights, plenty of roomy air space to keep away that crowded idea, and lovely decorations all enhance the appearance of this popular U Street house. George H. Clarke, the newly-wed, is still at his post as manager. It was our pleasure to also witness the showing of "Tugboat Annie," the Dressler-Beery epic, and upon my word of honor, I really have never seen anything quite like it. The homey intensity of its drama, abetted by the furious comedy which concurrently runs throughout the film, gives it a zest and a tang which is missing in the average movie. Miss Dressler gives a powerful characterization of the skipper of the tug Narcissus, with Wallace Beery as her hubby, who is more a spoiled, over-grown boy, than a hard boiled sea-farer. With the humorous action of Beery inject- STRAND 2 Blocks from Suburban Gardens DEANWOOD, D.C. Lincoln 1093 CARTER LOCKHART, Manager ed here and there, the flicker kept us alternately laughing and using a handkerchief. It wasn't that Beery was simple, or dumb, it was just because of his sincere faith in Tugboat Annie's ability to pull him out of any jam, that he kept getting into them, and in his playing he amused one with his anties like the small boy who steals jam, or picks the chocolate filling of the cake, and gets caught every time. The feeble attempts to hold to his bottle (booze) incite laughter, until his weakness for that same bottle precipitates a crisis which involves the loss of the tug which had been home for 30 years. Then the wrecking of a liner captained by his and her son, which called for a noble sacrifice on the part of Beery in order to save the threatened liner,—and his son, who had just turned away from him because of his alcholic inclinations which had blighted the future for Annie. When Beery crawls into a sizzling tugboat furnace over flaming coals of fire, in order to repair the damaged boiler fittings on the inside so that his tug can get up enough steam to pull the liner off a reef, you forgive him fully. When "Gold Diggers of 1933" played here at the Howard and the Raphael simultaneously, that enterprising young Raphael manager, Mr. Charles Burton, put in something, which most of us missed. Instead of showing "Gold Diggers" in the ordinary film colors, Mr. Burton had his own engineers get busy, and put in natural coloring for all those glittering scenes depicted in the film. And his "snowball" scene, as done in the Burton manner was reminiscent of a Fourth of July firework display, so realistically colorful it was. More power to this rising young theatre executive. And while on that subject, it might also be fittingly added that the District of Columbia is blessed in that respect, for practically every house here has a young manager, with progressive ideas. I am not personally acquainted with them all, but I can point out a few like George Clarke of the Lincoln, Shepp Allen, genial exec. of the Howard, Van Brune of the Broadway, who put the Booker T. on the map yeas ago. There are many others, but these I happen to know, and it is to the credit of the owners of these places of amusement to inject this talent and youthful fire into their organizations. The prosperity of the theatres tells its own story. * * * * Those of you who wonder, perhaps, why Andy does not go into voluminous details about pictures which are current, ought to be informed why, so here goes. I personally don't like the idea, for I greatly enjoy dissecting things of racial interest in the columns of colored papers. White picture producers have spent millions in films to bring you pictures, and white magazines writers have no less than 57 different mags all dealing with pictures, which have nothing to do with the Negro as far as business and professional interest is concerned. For ten cents, you can buy a THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE; THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1933 Raphael Screen Offers Action Preston Foster, featured player Who Dared," in a scene from the on incidents in the life of Anton A Preston Foster, featured player in the new Fox Film, "The Man Who Dared," in a scene from that picture. The production is based on incidents in the life of Anton Cermak. mag at a newsstand, and know in advance, all about every picture you may see in two or three months past or present. BUT you can't pick up a mag or a white paper which will go into rapturous detail about the work of OUR own race lent in the theatrical world, other than a few "name" outfits. So (I argue), why use up a lot of space which could perhaps be sold for ads, if there were no news, writing about that which does not involve race interest, while letting our own talent suffer for lack of proper accord from their own papers? For if they don't get it through our columns, where will they get it? And THAT is why I don't go into details repeating the story of movies on local screens, other than an opinion as to their merits as far as we colored folks can use them. And now that I've said all that, I proceed to more fertile fields. I wish to take this opportunity to personally and publicly thank the management of the Howard Theatre, and the Stiefels individually, especially Nathan, for presenting on the stage this week, my favorites of the District of Columbia, "The FOUR DOTS." For months and months, I have tried through my columns to persuade some local theatre, either the Howard or the Lincoln, to use these talented youngsters, and at last I have had my wish. "It was a real treat to sit in the Howard last Monday evening, and watch the performance of these four lads, and when one pauses to realize that they have worked up their own act, and their songs, themselfs, without the outside assistance of others, then Washington should feel justly proud of the lads, who live in Southeast D.C. For your information I'll list the boys. First, they are under the management of Eddie Smallwood, of 647 Navy Place, Southeast, who trained them. The boys are: Oliver Wilson, piano; Arthur Carter, voice (he leans on the piano); Jerome Spriggs, guitar, and what a guitar player! And that mimele young gent, who so capably imitates Louie Armstrong, and does a bit of dance, a la Bornie, is Mr. William Brown. One thing about the act is this: Brown makes no bones about his imitation of Armstrong, but puts everything he has into it to make a good job of it. And he does. The FOUR DOTS are to be congratulated upon their fine showing in front of their own folks here this week, and the Howard is to be done ditto for giving the lads a break in their own backyard. That little tome about "charity begins at home" does them proud at the Howard, and it is evident that as time goes on the FOUR DOTS will continue to improve, JEWELL THEATRE 214 Four-and-a-Half St., S.W.

"HER BODYGUARD" & "THE SPHINX" ARE REPUBLIC SHOWS Movie-goers may be amused by the story and situation portrayed in "Her Bodyguard," the Edmund Lowe-Wynne Gibson cinema coming to the Republic Theatre, Friday to Monday, September 15 to 18, but movie players aren't. Though its action is set in New York, and its heroine is a stage star, the story is said to have caused many a red face in Hollywood, where bodyguards are as numerous as movie stars. It is the story of the romance between a beautiful stage star and the private detective assigned by a jealous "sugar daddy" to guard her. It is a story of backstage intrigue and footlight frolics, featuring the new song hit, "Where Have I Heard That Melody?" A motion picture presentation of a mystery story that runs high in suspense, is "The Sphinx," which comes to the Republic from Tuesday to Thursday, September 19-21. A typical drama of life in the financial district of any big, modern city, it depicts the successful efforts of a clever newspaper reporter to unravel a murder mystery that baffles the police. Great effort has been exercised to make the atmosphere details authentic, and interesting glimpses into police headquarters, newspaper editorial offices and courtrooms serve to accentuate the realism of the film. That very fine actor, Lionel Atwill, whose characterizations of sinister roles has made him a logical successor to the late Lon Chaney, does splendidly by the double role allotted him. "SHE HAD TO SAY YES AND FESS WILLIAMS AT THE HOWARD Starting Saturday, the Howard presents Fess Williams and his Royal Flush Orchestra, known the country over as the sepia Ted Lewis. This band will entertain you with many of the season's latest song hits, played in the Fess's own style. Fess Williams brings with him his own stage show, offering songs, dances and comedy. A midnight show will be given on Friday with reserved seats. The screen features Loretta Young in "She Had to Say Yes." Amateur nights, Wednesday and Friday. and they work up a finer skit they are someday going to break into the front row of fame, mark my word. They are already good as amateurs, but with more experience they will turn into finished performers. Washington, which has a wealth of excellent afateur talent, should well be proud of itself, and should tender the Stiefel clan a rousing voteof thanks, for the institution of amateur night, which gives this local talent a chance to display its wares. Of course, the FOUR DOTS were not the whole show at the Howard this week, for there appeared on the same bill, some of those local favorites who rate acces and kings with all the theatre patrons. Line number one to my friend, the venerable Judge, "Your Onery," the dispenser multitudinous and abundant years, the presider of the court chamber, none other than His Joyal Highness, Sweet Pappa Garbage. You know there are certain performers who can take a skit and do more with it than anybody else. For instance, John Mason can play the "church" scene to a T. Galle De Gaston can be effective also in certain skits. But nobody can do as much with that court scene, as can the capable Marshall Rogers. Garbage has been for years one of the most outstanding stars of the comic world, and only a few weeks ago out in Chicago I was kept busy answering questions about Garbage at the Regal. Well, this week, we, you, I, me, and us, we all had the privilege of seeing the best fitted man in the business, do the hilarious famous "Judge" part in the court scene.

This picture, based on incidents in the life of the late Mayor Anton Germak, has so much of a supply of drama, pathos, comedy, romance, and action, that it is difficult to point to one element and say that there is the reason for its success. The original screen play by Dudley Nichols and Lamar Trotti was directed with consummate skill by Hamilton MacFadden. George O'Brien comes back to the screen after a six-month tour of Europe, in "Life in the Raw," the new Fox romance opening on Thursday of next week It is a Zane Grey story that once again unites the foremost writer and the premier player of Western film stories "Life in the Raw" is reported as a combination of the outstanding elements in popular adventure romance. And it reveals the true emotions of a group of people who impressed by the wide-openness of Western territory, feel that they need no longer hide their true feelings. DELIGHTFULL BOOKER A Lichtman Theatre ENTIRE WEEK BEG. SUN., SEPT. 17 HOLD YO Co-Sta JEAN HARLOW A Team Wh DIFFE and SE SPECIAL! Louis Armstrong —IN— “Rhapsody in Black and Blue” HARLOW-GABLE TEAM AT BOOKER T IN "HOLD YOUR MAN" Jean Harlow and Clark Gable are reunited as co-stars by popular demand in the high powered drama, "Hold Your Man," which comes to the Booker T. Theatre for the entire week of September 17. The smashing success of "Red Dust," in which they were teamed, romantically brought such a response from public and exhibitors that Anita Loos was assigned to provide a new vehicle for the screen lovers. "Hold Your Man," which teams them romantically, has an underworld flavor and is a rapidly-moving, rowdy, worldly story of timely tempo. In it Miss Harlow plays the part of a gaudy creature who is willing to allow herself to become the lure in a "love racket" for the sake of her man. Gable, as the man in the case, is a light-moralled chap who finds his real worth when the girl is sent to jail because of the trouble his racket gets her into. The plot is thrilling and with a climatic background in a woman's reform school. RAFT AT BROADWAY WITH CLIVE BROOK "Midnight Club," featuring George Raft, supported by Clive Brook, Allison Skipworth and Helen Vinson, will be shown at the Broadway Theatre, Sunday and Monday, September 17-18. The story is a breathless, rapid-fire tale of London society, upperworld and underworld, and centers about the efforts of an American active to break up a great jewel-t ring which has been preying with impunity on lords and commoners alike. LIONEL BARRYMORE AT HIS BEST AT THE LINCOLN FIVE DAYS Lionel Barrymore and Miriam Hopkins are co-starred in "The Stranger's Return," which opens Friday, September 19, at the Lincoln Theatre, for a five-day engagement. It is Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer's picturization of the currently popular Phil Strong novel of rural life, which follows his recent best seller, "State Fair."

WILLIAMS RE-ELECTED HEAD OF BAPTISTS Education of Young People Stressed at Memphis Convention MEMPHIS, Tenn. (ANP)—All officers of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., were re-elected, Saturday morning, save the auditor. The officers re-elected are: Dr L. K. Williams, Chicago, president; Dr. D. V. Jamison, Mobile vice-president at large; Dr A. L Boome, Cleveland, Dr. W. H. Dozier, Los Angeles, and the Rev. T. S. Harten, Brooklyn, regional vice-presidents; Dr J. M. Nabrit, Atlanta, secretary; the Revs. U. J Robinson, Mobile; T. O. Fuller, Memphis; E. A. Wilson, Dallas, and M. L. Shephard, Philadelphia, assistant secretaries; Dr. R. B. Roberts, Memphis, treasurer; the Rev Roland Smith, Tuscaloosa, statistician; and Dr. L. G. Jordan, historian. E. C. Morris, Jr., Elected Auditor A heated word battle was precipitated over the auditor's position. For many years, the auditor has been an elected officer and a member of the board of directors of the convention. One of the most distinguished men to hold the office was the late E. D. Pearson, who was murdered three years ago while travelling in Indiana. Freemorris, son of the late Rev. E. C. Morris, for 26 years president of the convention, was elected to succeed Reckson. The convention voted to abolish the institution of auditor on the board to employ an auditor only who is needed, an act which the effect of snatching the auditor while he was not look- Colonies were extended the city to hold next year's festival in Philadelphia, Los An- napolis, Oklahoma City, but Oklahoma City selected, and September the opening date. Of the convention com- mitted that every depart- ment in good condition finan- cially, that progress had been made during the year. Membership is also increasing. Dr. Merrickai Johnson a Speaker Dr. Merrickai Johnson, president of Howard University, and J. B. Clark, president of Southern University, were two of the outstanding speakers at the convention. Dr. Clark spoke on what has come to be called "Booker T. Washington" night. In the addresses of the president and of many others, the theme of education for the young people of the race was emphasized. Dr. Williams pointed to education in Christian principles of living as a primary responsibility of the church. Repeal was condemned as a moral step backward and the present Democratic administration criticised for the support it has given the repeal movement. The National Industrial Recovery program, was endorsed and praised. Sambo Advertisement Brings Protest and Apology NEW YORK.-Taylor Adams, of the Young-Rubicam advertising agency, has written the N.A.A.C.P. that his company is "sincerely sorry" that the word "Sambo" slipped into their advertisement of Colgate dental cream in the Saturday Evening Post of August 19. The company, he said, does a good business in the colored sections and absolutely did not know the word was offensive to colored people. His agency is also thinking about placing some advertising in the Negro press for 1934, Mr Adams said. Why Not? Asks Ex-Editor Wm. Kelly Who Threatens to Launch a Daily in New York NEW YORK, (ANP)—That the 327,706 Negroes in Greater New York City ought to have a daily newspaper, is the firm conviction of a group of prominent citizens of that city, headed by William M. Kelly, former editor of the Amsterdam News. Mr. Kelly, in a recent statement mailed to leaders throughout the country, pointed out the possibility of such a project as follows: First, communities far insignificant in population to New York City have successful Negro daily newspapers, namely: Atlanta, Ga.; Rochelle, N.Y., and also the 4,560 Negro inhabitants in a small town in the vicinity of New York. Secondly, many other nationalities in New York City have thriving dailies—Arabians, Bohemians, Chinese, Croatians, Finns, Frenchmen, Germans, Greeks, Hungarians, Italians, Lithuanians, Poles, Russians, Serbians, Slavs, Spaniards, and Ukrainians. Thirdly, the Negro more than any other of these racial groups, needs a daily mouthpiece in New York City which will serve in a greater capacity than is possible for the weeklies in bringing news items, features, and urgent matters before its people. Mr. Kelly, himself a veteran in the newspaper business, states that the embryo of this stupendous task was created in his mind over six years ago, since which time he has studied the possibility of its realization from every possible angle. A corporation for the actual publishing of the daily has been formed, he said. Officers of the corporation are as follows: president, William M. Kelly; vice-presidents, Bishop R. C. Lawson, Hon. Thomas F. Murray, Alderman John William Smith; secretary, Rodney Dade; assistant secretary, Hon. Thomas B. Dyett; treasurer, D. Godfrey Nurse; assistant treasurer, Dr. George E. Haynes. Other members of the board of directors are: James H. Ravenell, Jerome P. Ottley, and Oscar Godfrey. Negroes Strike for More Pay CHARLESTON, S.C. (D.W.)—The plant of the Charleston Bagging and Manufacturing Company was shut down tight here when 200 Negro women workers led the 800 workers in the plant on strike for the minimum wage under the NRA blanket code. "We want $12 a week," was the slogan which called the workers out on strike soon after the plant opened last Saturday morning. The Charleston bagging mill is described as a "hell-hole" by Charleston workers. Slaving under a stretch-out system, with 55 to 60 hours a week and pay averaging less than $8 a week, the workers of the weaving department decided to strike for the $12 wage provided under the textile code which the company has ignored. When these demands were rejected by Samuel Stauffer, the general manager, as well as the demand to be paid immediately, the workers called on the rest of the workers to join them. They removed all the bobbins, chopping knives and other machine parts to protect themselves in the event of police attack. Their past experiences stood them in good stead. The police, 40 strong, had already been called. Seeing the militant spirit of the strikers the police advised Stauffer to grant the demands of the workers for their pay. The police then drove the workers away from the plant and surrounded it to prevent picketing. WOOD CHOPPER INJURED Chester Montgomery, 39, of 750 Twelve-and-One-Half Street, Southeast, was conveyed to Providence Hospital, Friday, and treated for a lacerated nose, which he received while chopping wood.

(Continued from page 14) and no matter how many times it has been done before, even by Garbage, we can regale ourselves with roars, everytime it is done again, by Garbage. Helping in this number were Oscar Newman, Sam Alexander (the Chink), Gee Gee James, Officer "Allblack," and two girls from the chorus. Cora Green, the flashingly dynamic brownskin miss with the dazzling smile, and that "come-hither shape" was the torch (no fooling) singer, and how! She was as pleasingly attractive this time as she was when last at the Lincoln. Gee Gee James, a soubrette who can both sing and dance, did just that. Russell Lee, baritone, baritoned. Brown and Kent, dancers did a good dance act in tapsteps. The chorus featured in the Hi-De-Ho Revue took the spot in two cleverly and beautifully executed dance numbers, one a softshoe, the other a little rhapsody in taps. And for a change, the gals were really good. AND goodlooking... It were not amiss to add a word about the band. Bardu Ali, the Philly M.C. batted for Ray Moore, in front of Tommy Myles's band, in which one young trumpeter by the name of just "Val" went crazy with his horn and conjured up plenteous jazz hots. Val once played with Bernie Young's Creolians, the pride of the midwest. By the way, Val, through this pillar, Bernie sends his howdy do. Bernie moves into the Cotton Club in Cincinnati concurrent with the appearance of this column. No, permit me to add still another word about an orchestra which I heard last week. The band is headed by the young Leroy Smith, the aristocrat of the banton in "Rhapsody in Black." The Leroy Smith unit, of 14 pieces, as heard last week, is one of the most distinctive Negro bands in the business, for they have that broad variety of musical instruments, which makes it possible for them to play any and every type of music, and they do. Mr. Smith has moulded a master unit. TWO BOYS RECEIVE SLIGHT INJURIES Two boys received slight injuries, Tuesday, which required first-aid treatment.
