Edward Baker and Brother Held in Bank Shortage DECOYS TRAP MRS. PEARL GRAY PAIR HELD IN $6,900 SHORTAGE Former Prudential Cashier and Brother Held in $5,000 Bond Each Edward Baker, former cashier of the Prudential Bank, and his brother, Clarence S. Baker, both of Howard Manor Apartments, 654 Girard Street, Northwest, were held for the action of the grand jury by United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage, Monday, following discovery of an alleged shortage of $6,900 in the bank's funds. Edward Baker has been employed in the Industrial Bank the action of the grand jury by United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage, Monday, following discovery of an alleged shortage of $6,900 in the bank's funds. Edward Baker has been employed in the Industrial Bank since last September when that since last Sep.-Edward Baker tenem when that institution took over the Prudential Bank's business following a run on the latter bank. The alleged shortage is covered by bond, it was said. Agent for Prudential Baker's position at the Industrial Bank was that of agent for the Prudential. He was never an employee of the Industrial Bank, W. H. C. Brown, conservator and president of the Industrial, said. The supposed discrepancies were suspected several months ago and an audit was begun by the office of the comptroller of the currency. Several weeks ago the agents of the comptroller called in members of the Department of Justice. The arrest of the brothers followed. It was pointed out that the shortage does not involve the Industrial's funds, but is in the funds of the Prudential, and is alleged to have existed before the two banks began operating as one institution. A ruling of the comptroller of currency ordered Baker to assume deposit liabilities of the Prudential, which position he held until this week. The brothers engaged the law firm of Perry W. Howard and George E. C. Hayes to represent them in any action that is to follow the charge. Each on $5,000 Bond They were arrested by Deputy Marshall John Clarkson on the strength of a warrant issued by the District Attorney's office. Bond was set at $5,000 in each case. J. Walter Stewart is bondsman for the pair. Conservator Brown, who has been in charge of the two banks since the baking holiday last March, stated that plans for reorganizing the Industrial Bank were still under way. These plans will be made known as soon as the merger of the thirteen white banks in the proposed Hamilton Bank is perfected. He stated that conservator accounts in the Industrial Bank amount to $50,000, which is an indication that the plans to reorganize the bank as a national bank are well under way. Hawkins Heads Prudential Indictments have already been returned in cases similar to the charges against the Baker in the Park Savings and Mount Vernon Savings Banks. These two institutions are white. --- Dr. John R. Hawkins, secretary of the A.M.E. Church, was president of the Prudential Bank before it was taken over by the Industrial. An attempt to reach him this week was unsuccessful. In the reorganization plan of the two banks he was a member of the board of directors. BULLOCK DENIES CHURCH OUSTER Pastor Declares He Will Occupy Pulpit at Sunday Services The Rev. W. H. Bullock, pastor of the Third Baptist Church, denied this week that he had been ousted from his pulpit by members of his congregation. The Rev. Mr. Bullock stated that there was a rumor afloat that the church had voted him out at Friday's meeting. He state" that he preached last Sunday "and will occupy his pulpit this Sunday. The members of the church agreed to pay a judgment of $295 and costs which was recently won by the Rev. W H Jernagin, p. stor of Mount Carmel Baptist Church. The trial grew out of a case in which Odell Parker, a contractor who was doing some work for the church, owed the Rev. M. Jernagin some $220. The Rev. Mr. Jernagin secured judgment against Parker and had an attachment placed against any money the church owed Parker. Julian and Robert Thompson Not to Air $85,000 Damage Suits Vol. XIII, No. 21 DECC NOTORIOUS CROOK AND PICKPOCKET NABBED IN ACT John Palmer, of Many Aliases Caught by Detective Ash at O Street Market John Palmer, notorious crook and pickpocket, was arrested Saturday night operating in the O Street Market by Detective Frederick Ash, of headquarters. Following a hearing before Judge Gus A. Schultz in police court Friday morning Palmer was held for the action of the grand jury under $5,000 bond. Detective Ash was recently promoted from patrol duty to headquarters. He is one of the few officers on the force to receive recognition for outstanding work in capturing desperate crooks and gangsters. His most notable work was capturing an armed murderer a few years ago at the risk of his own life. Had Pocketbook Detective Ash testified that he was walking through the market Saturday night when he noticed Palmer put his hands in the pockets of several shoppers. One was a white man. When arrested Palmer had a pocketbook which was identified by Andrew Brown, 63 R Street, Northwest. The wallet contained an operator's permit, several papers and about $1.40 in cash. Brown told police when he went to headquarters along with other persons to identify the stolen property. Palmer denied the theft, and claimed he did not know how he became in possession of the pocket-book. Has Long Police Record According to officers, the man has a long record and has been arrested in Harrisburg, Pa., Columbus, Ohio, Frankfort, Ky., Knoxville, Tenn., and Philadelphia. Police do not know his real name, but he has been known under many aliases. He is known as Thomas Nelms, James Rucker, Hermon Nelms and Thomas Neils. He was identified at headquarters where his photograph and fingerprints are on file in connection with other crimes. He is said to live at 1863 Mintwood Place, Northwest, in the janitor's quarters of an apartment.

Julian and Robert to Air $85,000 Washingtonians Disappointed Tutors Mutually Agree Charges Drop; Julia Two scheduled sensational suits involving a total of $85,000 and two former Howard University professors were stricken from the court, Monday, when Attorneys Nathan A. Dobbins and George Horning, white, met on the Detroit Supreme Court, Monday morning, and at the request of their clients, Professor Percy L. Julian and Robert B. Thompson, agreed to let both suits drop. Washingtonians were all set for what was said to be one of the most sensational suits in years. Professor Julian was head of the chemistry department at Howard, and Thompson was his assistant. Claims Wife Was in Room They were great friends until Washington Tribune Protest Gets Government Job Felonious Homicides Among Negroes Here Since July 1st are 14 White Percentage is Less Than 5 to 19, Police Statistics Disclose 12 EXECUTIONS IN 9 YEARS IN D. C. One White Woman, Four Policemen, Four Negroes Among Victims By EDWARD P. LOVETT Apparring in the current issue of the Literary Digest, September 16, is an article on the high murder rate in the South. It states that far more murders are committed in Southern than in Northern cities, but offers an explanation to the effect that "the larger percentage of murders in the South is among the Negro population." But before concluding, it states, "The obligation resting on Southern cities is clear. . . .: They should exert every influence to make more law-abiding citizens of the Negroes of their community. The record should also challenge the leaders of the Negro race. After all, they are the ones to whom the rank and file of Negroes look for leadership." Washington, southern in population, customs, traditions, and principles, is credited with 78 murders during the year 1932, ranking it number 8 in comparison with other cities whose murders have been ratiated to the population. Thus we see that Washington is distinctly southern in murders irrespective of the fact that the ratio of the Negro to the white population is just a little greater than 1 t 4 and, too, in spite of the fact that the percentage of illiteracy among Negroes is less in Washington than in most other Southern cities. 14 Negro Homicides Since July 1, 1933, there have been 19 felonious homicides in Washington. Of these all have been Negroes except 5, while all the victims have Negroes except 4.

Thompson wrote a letter to the university ad- ministration setting forth that his wife was locked in the apartment and when he knocked at the door he was refused admittance. Thompson was told by the board of trustees to take some pills and sleep the matter off. Soon after this incident Thompson lost his job and sued Professor Julian for $75,000 in an alienation of affection suit. Professor Julian came back with (Continued on page 2) WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1933 politan Police states that as a general rule, the percentage of white offenders in felonious homicide cases in Washington is less than 5 to 19. In comparison, the number of executions resulting from murders is not, by any means, as amazing as the number of murders. The Digest does not give the number of executions nor the disposition of the offenders arrested in connection with the large number of murders. The disposition of persons arrested for murder may be by anyone of the following methods: (1) released by coroner's jury; (2) ignored by grand jury; (3) nolled by district attorney; (4) acquitted by petit jury; (5) found guilty of murder in the second degree or manslaughter (no death pealty in either case); or (6) have sentence commuted by governor of the state or the President of the United States if the case is within the District of Columbia. 12 Executions Since 1924 Irrespective of the large number of felonious homicides committed in Washington, prison records reveal that there have been only 12 persons executed here since 1924. The following schedule shows date, (year) of execution, number of persons executed the crime for which they had been convicted and the sex and race of the victim of the crime, the race of the criminal. 1925—2—Murder—Woman (Negro—Negro; Murder—Policeman (white)—Negro 1926—None. 1927—None. 1928—4—Rape—Woman (white) —Negro; Murder—Policeman (white)—3 whites. 1929—None 1930—1—Murder—Woman (Negro)—Negro 1931—1—Murder—Woman (Negro)—Negro 1932—4—Murder—Woman (Negro)—Negro. Murder—2 Policemen (white)—3 Negroes. 1933—None to date. A Challenge to Leaders The above schedule also shows that of the 9 victims, one was a white woman, four were white policemen, and four were Negro women; that nine of the twelve executed have been Negroes who were convicted of killing three white policemen, raping one white woman, and killing four Negro women. Thus we see that over a period of eight years the ratio of the Negroes and whites executed in Washington has been 4 to 1 while the ratio in population has been about 1 to 4. Well may the Digest cast a challenge to the leaders of the Negro race. CLAIMS COLOR IS BAR TO POSITION A delegation including Acting Dean Charles Houston, of the Howard Law School, and others, protested to civil service officials, Thursday, for the alleged discrimination in refusing Mrs. Vashti Cook, wife of Mercer Cook, Howard French teacher. Mrs. Cook was appointed to a position in the census bureau, and when she reported with six white girls, Mrs. Cook was allegedly singled out and refused the appointment because of her color. Columbia Lodge of Elks voted unanimously in its regular meeting last Monday to accord President Roosevelt's plan for national recovery and the Washington NRA drive stusiastic support. Members present who had not already signed the consumers' pledge in their homes or at their work signed up at the meeting and were given a "Blue Eagle" emblem. Eagles at Elks' Home Past Exalted Ruler E. W. Bundy, chairman of the house committee, signed for the lodge and displays the "Blue Eagle" in a window of the home at 301 Rhode Island Avenue. So great was the enthusiasm in response to the addresses on the NRA by Exalted Ruler Sylvester H. Epps and Attorney Emory B. Smith, chairman of the committee on education, that it was necessary to suspend business and the order of the day to allow the members a chance to sign the pledge cards. To Place Sign on Pole It was suggested that a large NRA banner be procured and placed on the flag pole as notice to the interstate traffic on Rhode Island Avenue, that, as Elks and patriotic citizens, "We Do. Our Part!" With three grand lodge officers present—Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, Grand Legal Advisor Perry W. Howard and Grand Inner Guard John W. Ross, it is said that the attitude of Columbia Lodge reflects the sentiment of Elks throughout the nation. The grand lodge action in convention at Indianapolis, appointing a special committee and setting a fund to look after the rights of Negro workers in the enforcement of the several codes, was received with favorable comment. Seriously Injured When His Car Crashes Near Hagerstown HAGERSTOWN, Md.—Robert L Vann, Pittsburgh publisher and special assistant to United States Attorney General Cummings, was seriously injured in an automobile accident here, Friday afternoon.

Enraged by Jail Sentence, Husband Beats Wife in Court TRIAL BOARD TOLD ABOUT IRON CLAW Brutality Charges Against Second Precinct Officers Now Pending ACCUSER CONFUSED IN TESTIFYING Government Forced to Make Changes in Date of Charge Did Privates Charles C. Williams and Frank Ashley, both white, of the Second Precinct, clamp an "iron claw" on the arm of George Mahoney, 2422 Virginia Avenue, Northwest, and strike him on the head with a stick in an attempt to extract an admission to the robbery on a U Street hammerer stand in July? That is the question puzzling the Police Trial Board after listening to 36 witnesses, Wednesday, six being colored character witnesses for the accused officers, to the muddled testimony of Mahoney, and to the denials of the officers that they had even touched the suspect. The board took the matter under advisement following the hearing which began at 10 a.m., and continued until 3 p.m. Mahoney accused the officers of clamping an iron claw on his wrist and striking him in the face and back with their hands, and on the head once with a police billy. Examination by Dr. C. A. Burnett of Freedmen's Hospital staff revealed a bump on his head and two small indentations on his wrist when he was taken to the hospital, August 8, immediately after the alleged assault, by Inspector Thaddeus R. Beam. The defense, conducted by Russell A. and Joseph D. Kelly, both white, admitted the reputed "torture" marks, making no attempt to explain them. They, however, attacked the credibility of Mahoney by placing on the stand Miss Wilhelmina Burdett, who identified him as the man she saw enter the hamburger stand at 1211 U Street, Northwest, Juiv 26. Brutality Termed Cowardly Assistant Corporation, Counsel Edward M. Welliver, who conducted the prosecution, contended that (Continued on page 15) Enraged by Jail Husband Beat Defendant Attacks Spouse Being Given One Year o Court Attendants Enraged because he had been sentenced to one year in jail for non-support of his wife, James Otis Smith, 38, threw the Juvenile Court room into an uproar, Mon- day, when he suddenly attacked his wife before Judge Katherine Sell- ers. Upon hearing the sentence Smith turned to his wife, Mrs. Ethel J. Smith, 28, 1225ea Carrollburg Place, Southwest, who was seated alongside him, and shouted: "This is what I get after all I've done for you!" At the same time, he struck the woman, knocking her to the floor, and then, before attendants could interfere he kicked his wife twice as she lay prone on the floor. As Judge Sellers called for or- Secures Government Position Following Investigation by Newspaper Mrs. Marjorie Jeffries, Howard Manor Apartments, 654 Girard Street, gave credit to The Tribune this week for the $1,400 job she holds in the government service. Late last week Mrs. Jeffries told a Tribune reporter that she had been called to the office of Bertram Brandt, white, Civil Service Commission building, to take a position as tabulating machine operator. She stated that when Brandt saw that she was colored he told her the position had been filled. Mrs. Jeffries had given up all hope of securing the position. However, The Tribune began an investigation of the matter and got into communication with Herbert E. Martin, white, chief of the recruiting division of the civil service. He promised an investigation and later told The Tribune that color did not enter into appointments of the civil service. This week Mrs. Jeffries was again called and told the job was waiting for her. She has reported for work in a section where all other employees are white. She thanked The Tribune for its interest and says she owes her job to that newspaper. Mrs. Jeffries was formerly employed at the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and later at Maxwell's Book Store. 2000 block of Georgia Avenue. Pilgrimage to Tomb of H. L.

NRA MEMBER U.S. WE DO OUR PART PRICE 7 cents Copy GRAY DECOYS USED TO ENSNARE P.O. CLERK Mrs. Pearl L. Gray, Society Leader, Faces Action of Grand Jury By E. W. BAKER With her husband by her side and a small group of friends as spectators, Mrs. Pearl Lewis Gray, suspended post office employee, listened mutely while a postal inspector narrated how two decoy letters had been used as a trap and caused her to be accused of taking $4 from one, in a hearing before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage, Saturday morning. Mrs. Gray, the wife of Dr. Hugh Gray, 1517 P. Street, Northwest, and prominent in Eastern social circles, has been at liberty under $500 bond pending the hearing before the commissioner since August 24, when two inspectors made the charge. Following the direct and cross examination of a single witness, Inspector L. A. DeWaard, Commissioner Turnage stated: "I think that is as far as I care to go with the case. I think it a prina facie case. The bond will remain at $500." The bond was arranged with A. Walter Stewart, her former bondman. The case now goes to the grand jury for a true bill or no bill, according to their opinion of the evidence. No plea was offered at the hearing before the commissioner. Dressed in a smart black and white ensemble and wedged in between her two attorneys, Augustus W. Gray and Levi David, the latter white, Mrs. Gray observed intently as a witness described how she had been apied upon from a peep-hole for three hours on the day of the alleged pifering. Charles B. Murray, assistant United States attorney, represented the prosecution. He confined himself to an occasional objection to some question by defense counsel. Mr. D.avid conducted the cross-examination of the postal inspector as Mr. Gray took notes, or made suggestions. Dr. DeWaard, who has been an inspector for the past eight years, testified as follows after preliminary remarks were made about the nature of the case: "We had reason to believe," he began, "that depredations were being committed in the division of dead letters. We had reason to believe that Mrs. Gray— Decoy Letters Fixed. Mr. David, defense counsel, objected.

Philip Randolph, Organizer of Brotherhood, Points Out Violations of Railway Labor Act and Other Laws by the Company According to an article appearing in a Chicago newspaper relative te the Pullman Company's attinde to: ward a letter addressed to it by A Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters requesting a conference to taik over the iaatter of negotiating an egree: ment on wages, hours of work and nies. governing working comlit ons, the Pullman Company attempted te evade the issue by quoting its dead president, BE.

Ii so, she returned them, If the let- ter contained any checks ot cur- rency, Mrs, Gray was to, make notation in her cash book. Appeared ta Write “In the look-out were W. G. Bell, R. M, Oller, Mr, Blea‘dey, and my self” Mr. DeWaard ‘declared “When Mrs. Gray handled one of the test letters, we saw her with- draw the contents. We could .sce that money was enclosed. I saw her apparently make endorsement on the back, and reach for the eash book, She placed the letter in the eash book and Inid it in front of her. “When she came to. the. second test letter, she withdrew the con- tents. We could see that there were a number of bills in ity Mrs. Gray appeared to make an endorse- ment and reached for the cash hook, apparently to make an entry. To iny best recollection, this was about 11:45 am. Within a short time, Mrs, Gray reached. over the cash’ book and we could see the letter sureptitiously placed under the mail which she had not opened. “In a little while she removed it from in front of her and placed it over on her right side, where there were envelopes intende for destruction, She left it there un- til-there. was an accumulation of more than the usual amount of Tetters: ‘Then Mrs, Gray. swept everything into the wastebasket. “Ing short while,"” the inspector narrated, “she turned to the. right and began fumbling in the basket. When she arose, I eouldrsees cur- rency in her hand hick al not there when she biter it gat the baskel.’ She cod her pocketbook and placed the money in her pttrse. “Mrs,“Gray then went to the cafeteria and made some purchas- es, being gone about four minutes, Her purse was constantly under observation, When she returned, she had some food. She reached for her pocketbook and put some change in it. Brought Befare Chief “We decided to accost her. We went downsteirs.

I told her I was a postal inspector and asked her to secompany me to my office. | Mr Cole, Mr. Oller, and Mr, Bleakley went with me. “When we arrived at my office,” the testimony unfolded, “I asked Mrs, Gray to go into’ the room where the nurse was. When this was done, I told Mrs. Jeffries the nature of our investigation. Mrs, Gray was asked if she recalled handling the two letters. She elaimed'she did not, I then asked her it ghe minded’ producing. the contents of her purse. She said she did not. She ovened it and withdrew some one-dollar bills and some change, I think about 4( cents. Three of the bills taken out were three of the four bills which we had placed in a test let- ter. We had marked them for identification.” Serial Numbers Taken , Questioned by Commissioner Tomige ‘as to how. the bills were maak I, Mt. DeWaard: explained that 'the serial number and tha let. ter in front of the series (K in this inttance) had been taken, "Did you,” queried the commis. j sioner, “recover all four of those | tollare 2” ‘The inspector continued his nar- ation: | “I advised Mrs. Gray that the Lhree bills were three of the four Sills we had placed in test letter No. 1. She laimed'that she di xot- know how. they got into her purse, I asked her how did she think they did. She stated tha’ the contents of a letter became separated and fell on the floor, She said that not knowing to: whicl letter they were t be returned she feared to turn them In, in that manner.” ‘The inspector “explained that this would have been a reflectior on Mrs. Gray to have done so. $5 Bill Missing “1 asked about the fourth one: dcHar- bill,” the testimony contin. ued, “She said she didn't know anything about it, I then went tc the cafeteria and recovered the other bill from the cash register I then asked Mrs, Gray what ha¢ become of the five-dollar bill en: closed in test’ letter No. 2. She said she didn’, know what had be- come of it, To this day, it has no: been accounted for.” ‘The witness then explained how the inspectors had locked Mrs. Gray in the rgont wth the nurse to he searched, while they took up a position in another room, He re- lated that when-the nurse called to them, they unlocked the door. Mr, David (Mus. Gray's. attor- ney) | interpolated: “When Mrs. Gray handled test letter No. 1, she appeared to make an endorsement on it?” Mr. DeWaard responded: “I saw her turn the envelone over, She went through the motion of writ- ing. Itwas not until the letters were recovered that it was found out that-there war no entry.” “What would have been a proper entry?” inquired Mr, David. “Tt would have,” the inspector stated, “the name of the addressee and the amount of the enclosure.” Other Entries Made Upon further questioning, Mr. DeWaard stated that he had ob- served Mrs, Gray handle other let- ters containing money, on that morning, and that proper entries were made, With a few more pointed questions, Mr, David delved into a piercing cross-examination, which occasionally ruffled the in- spector and caused Mr. Murray, government counsel, to object. Requested to Disrobe Mr. David first quizzed the in- spector_on the minute search to which Mrs, Gray had been sub- jected. It was disclosed that she had been requested to disrobe and even her shoes and stockings had been examined. The attention of the witness Was then directed to the method of preparing the de- coys and the actions of the inves- tigators, J A few of the questions by Mr. David and the answers by. Inspec- tor DeWaard follow: Q—Did you see Mrs. Gray han- die the $52, A—Yes, sir. 1 saw her from the look-out, Q—What did she do with \it? A—I saw. the $5 handled when the letter was.pened. AS QWhy ean vou not tell abit the $5 Welbee?"A--iThe onky "way T cin atcobnt for’ it is that one letter was:-tovered by another. 2 Watehbd Decoys Closely Q—Could you tell us the amount ‘of-money. taken from -other letters before you saw Mrs. Gray take out the $4 one A—T cannot. ‘I was particularly interested in the test letters, Q—Can you tell us_ something about it? A—One letter con- tained 10 cents, There were some hills at least. ‘There was one bill taken from one letter, prior to the handling of the two test letters. Q—You mentioned a moment a0 that each selector would turn the letters containing money or valuables over to/the cashier at 3 o'clock. A—That’s right, ‘Q—Is that a written regulation or the custom? A—I do not know, Q—How do they make an ac- counting? A—I do not know. Q—How many entries would you say were on Mrs. Gray's cash book indicating that she had handled money in the envelopes? A—I do not know exactly, but I would say about 20 entries. Inspectors’ Bills Used At this point, Mr. David ques: tioned Mr. DeWaard about the original source of the decoy letters and the money used. The letter, it developed, had previously passed sheough the mails in ‘due course and the money had been furnishec by Inspectors DeWaard and Bleak- ey. Q—Why did you not wait unti 3 o'clock and give Mrs. Gray ar opportunity to account for every. thing she had received up to thai time? A—We did not consider i necessary. Q—Why?

The continuance was granted upon a plea of Randolph that he had been unable to pay the $25 monthly alimony ordered because of three months' illness in the hospital and an unsuccessful business venture. Through a petition filed on September 7, by John H. Wilson, attorney for Mrs. Randolph, the indebted husband was ordered to appear and show cause why he should not be adjudged in contempt of court. Leases His Position Randolph admitted the indebtedness, but denied that he had been financially able to make the payments regularly. He set forth that at the time of the alimony order in 1930, he was regularly employed at the Veterans' Bureau at a salary of $80 monthly. Upon losing this job, Randolph averred that he went to New York and attempted to enter business for himself. He was unsuccessful in making sufficient money to comply with the court order, however, he states he sent what money he could. Randolph further declared that he became sick and was ordered to the hospital for three months, during which time he could not earn anything. The husband is now employed at a local daily earnings only $15 a week, he claims. Although confronted with personal expenses of $12 weekly, he manages to give his wife and daughter, Rosamae, who is about nine, the sum of $2.50 a week.

Randolph was ordered to pay his wife and daughter $25 monthly, her attorney's fees and the cost of the suit. Jenkins Makes Only Six Stops for Fuel in 3,000- Mile Record-Smashing Run Daring Driver Locos Only Twelve Minutes in Refueling in More Than Twenty-five Hours Continuous Drive, American Oil Company Announces. An extraordinary feature of the amazing record-smashing high-speed endurance run, made recently by Ab Jenkins, famous automobile driver, on a circular course on the Great Salt Desert near Salduro, Utah, was the fact that he made only six two-minute stops for gasoline during the 24-hour, 3,000-mile grind. Since time taken for refueling was recorded as actual running time and fiured in the computation of his average speed, Jenkins selected his fuel with great care in order to insure the maximum mileage from every gallon carried. The famous driver's choice for the epoch-making test was Amoco, premium motor fuel manufactured by the American Oil Company. Previous to his latest triumph Jenkins had used the fuel in many record-breaking hill climbing, speed and endurance trials. He had several hundred gallons of the gasolina shipped 2,500 miles to the scene of the Salduro test and used no other fuel during the 3,000-mile run. His faith in the power and economy of the product was again justified when he shot through the broiling sun of the desert day and the chill of the night for more than 25 hours at the astounding average speed of 117.8 miles per hour.

EUGENE K. JONES SLATED FOR JOB AS ADVISER Secretary of Urban League Choice of Group Called by Secretary Roper (ANP)—One of the first outgrowths expected from the meeting of the advisory committee called by Secretary of Commerce Roper at the Department of Commerce last week is the appointment of a colored man to an advisory position similar to that held by Dr. Clark Foreman of Atlanta in the Interior Department, where Dr. Foreman is serving as advisor on the economic status of Negroes. Eugene Kinkle Jones, a member of the group attending the meeting, was the committee's choice. This development came at the end of the committee's meeting when Secretary Roper in expressing his appreciation for their work and effort, told them, that although he was a Southerner and had been closely associated with Negroes all of his life and held a high regard for them, that he had been particularly impressed with the calibre and ability of the committee which had met at his call. He had taken note of the opposition aroused by the appointment of Dr. Foreman, who himself had sat in the earlier stages of the meeting but had retired after a number of the members openly criticized the fact that a Negro had not been selected instead. Secretary Roper informed the group, that after listening to the deliberations of the committee, he could well understand their dissatisfaction. They felt, he thought, that there were plenty of colored men who could do the job and do it well and he thereupon offered, if they would select a man, to appoint that man to a similar position in the Commerce department, to the one held by Dr. Foreman in the Interior department. The committee went into a closed session and after consideration decided upon the name of Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League. The name was given to Secretary Roper and the group is confidently expecting an announcement soon. AMERICAN OIL CO. HAS BIGGEST MONTH IN HISTORY Company Sold More Gasoline in August Than in Any Other Month in Company's Long History The American Oil Company announced today that sales figures for the month of August revealed that the organization had sold more gasoline and motor fuel than in any other previous month in its history. This record sale, it was stated, is exclusive of any sales made in new territory added through the recent consolidation with Pan American Petroleum and Transport interests. An interesting sidelight on this accomplishment is the remarkable increase in the sale of the companys special motor fuel. The company sold in August approximately 49.1 per cent more special motor fuel than in June. An official ascribed much of this phenomenal sales growth to the reduction of two cents a gallon in the fuel's premium. Strangers Pitch Rider from Auto While riding about the city with two strange men, George Purchasas, 31, of 219 V Street Northwest, an employee of the Potomac Electric Company, complained to police that he had been unceremoniously thrown out of the car, shortly after midnight, Sunday.

INJURES KNEE IN FALL Clarence Wright, 23, of 614 Morton Street, Northwest, suffered a sprained right knee Friday, when he fell down at his home, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1933 MINISTER'S WIFE ESCAPES INJURY FROM MISSILE Son Robbed; Daughter Gets Scholarship, All in One Week Three members of the family of the Rev. Eugene Williams, pastor of John Stewart Memorial M.E. Church, his wife, son and daughter, have figured prominently in the news within the past week. While sitting in the parlor of their home at 602 Fairmont Street, Northwest, Monday night, Mrs. Williams narrowly escaped serious injury when a large piece of plastering was hurled into the room, missing her head by a few inches. The missile had been tossed by a boy who attempted to strike another lad he was chasing. It crashed through two window panes and a shade, coming to rest only after striking the opposite of the room. Son is Robbed On the previous Friday evening, a son of the Rev. Mr. Williams, Eugene Williams, was robbed by a highwayman of $9 in cash and a $35 wrist watch. Young Williams, an employee of the Garfield Hospital, had been paid earlier in the day and was en route home about 7 p.m., after making some purchases. Near Georgia Avenue and W Streets, the unsuspecting victim was startled by the feel of a hard object in his back and the command/to hold up his hands and not to look around. After taking the valuables, the culprit ran, without giving young Williams a chance to see his face. The third member figuring in the news is the daughter, Miss Edna G. Williams, sophomore in the college of education at Howard University. She was one of the fifty persons recently given a tuition scholarship grant for maintaining a scholarship average of "B" last year. Lone Woman Fights Jim-Crow Practice BROOKLYN, N.Y.-A member of the I.L.L.D wrote the following letter to the Daily Worker (New York): "I was in an employment office recently and I saw for myself the jim-crowism there. They have a small room for the Negro women to wait and a big room for the white workers. "Well, I went to that office two days and I talked to the workers and they told me that they would rather be by themselves and would not say anything, for it was the owner's place and he could do as he wanted to do. "Well, friends, I am a Negro worker and I could not stand it any longer. I had to tell the agent, 'What is this, a jim crow office!' and she said, 'I am running this office to suit myself.' I told her I was going to show her how to run it and I told all the workers in the little room to come out and sit in the big room, where I was sitting but they were afraid and said they did not want any trouble. "I asked for my money and she said I would have to wait five days. I told her to give me my money for I was going to put this office on my list and stop their jim crow in this city. There was too much of that in the South. "Some of the workers came outside and asked me to get their money for them." Terrell Junior High School The Terrell Junior High School opened on Monday in the old M Street High building, with an enrollment of 628 pupils. Many of this number were new to the school and city, but were made to feel at home in a short time by Miss V. E. Chase and her faculty. Terrell is getting a new gymnasium which is being built to form an east wing of the main building. Modern equipment will be installed as soon as the building is completed. The renovation idea is really having full sway at this educational center. A four-room apartment has been constructed on the third floor for the home economics department. New class-rooms have been added to the plant. The principal's suite is now composed of three large modernly equipped offices. The cafeteria, moved from the third floor to the basement, will be reopened soon for the serving of hot lunches to the pupils and faculty.

White Man Refuses to Sit on Jury With Negroes; Fined $10 FREDERICKSBURG. Va. — White men who refuse to serve with Negroes on grand juries will be fined for contempt of court or spend the time in jail in default of payment, so far as Judge Frederick W. Coleman, of Fredericksburg, is concerned. The presiding jurist of the 15th judicial circuit set this precedent in Hanover County Circuit Court when he held Welford Gilman, farmer, in contempt. Gilman declined to serve on a grand jury on which were two Negroes. He was told by the court he would have to serve, pay $10 fine, or go to jail for two days. Gilman paid the fine. This case was the first in Virginia since the various court judges announced, as an aftermath of the George Crawford extradition case between Virginia and Massachusetts, that mixed juries were to be drawn to act on indictments.

SEPTEMBER 21, 1933 The "BUT" in the New Deal That the administrators of the New Deal have no simple task is evidenced by news dispatches and releases from many sources. One of these sent from Charlotte, N.C., last week, by James R. McCarthy, for the International News Service, presents the problem concretely. Mr. McCarthy says that over the expectations of prosperity for the workers of the South hangs a serious "BUT," which he summarizes in the phrase, "racial competition." This statement goes on: Until the new codes became effective here more than a month ago, the great bulk of workers in the fields and in the mills consisted of Negroes. They were satisfied with their wages of $6 and $7 a week, even though they had to work 55 hours a week. The white man disdained such conditions. Then came the new codes and the white man sat up. If he could get $13 for a maximum of 40 hours, instead of $6 or $7 for a minimum 55-hour week, then he wanted the job. So the white men swarmed into the fields and the mills demanding—and getting—jobs. That meant, of course, that the Negro found himself, for the first time in years, out in the cold. Of course, the New Deal came as a blessing to the white man. . . But, not so the Negro. The mill employers and the planters of cotton and tobacco are perplexed. They are afraid of the consequences but they feel helpless. They resent paying to Negroes twice the sum they were getting a few weeks ago, yet they fear that the New Deal for the white workers is going to provoke serious trouble. How the problem will be solved nobody seems to know. There has been talk—as there always is in such circumstances—of communistic propaganda being spread among the Negroes. The authorities of various cities in this section, including Charlotte itself, are jumpy. I have been able to find no one with a happy solution to the problem. What the Roper Conference Did So far very little that is concrete and explicit has come out concerning the doings of the conference held week before last under the aegis of Secretary of Commerce Roper. However, the report of a banquet in Chicago last Wednesday night, at which the principal guest was C. C. Spaulding, who has been designated as national chairman of the Emergency Advisory Council being developed by the Urban League, says: Mr. Pace held the attention of the diners rapt for an hour as he described his experience at the Washington conference held under the aegis of Mr. Koper. The members of the committee were Robt. L. Vann, Pittsburgh; Dr. Mary Waring, Chicago; Eugene Kinclek Jones, New York; Harry H. Pace, Chicago; Benj. H. Hubert, Savannah; the Rev. Marshall A. Talley, Indianapolis; Mrs. Helen W. Crossley, Dover, Del.; Wm. H. Lewis, Boston; Garnet C. Wilkinson and G. David Houston, Washington, D.C. "We decided upon two things," he said. "First, the right of the Negro to work and our duty to see what we could do to help his economic condition during this crisis and under the NRA. Then, second, the duty of the Negro toward the new order of things, with the consequent responsibility of seeing what he can do to help forward the president's program. "We went on record after earnest consideration, that the Negro should not accept a differential wage scale. We determined that the Negro should demand and contend for fair treatment in work and wages even though to do so meant wholesale dismissals from jobs. "We asked Secretary Roper, 'what would it profit America' if this recovery program were successful and ten per cent of the population, not only failed to increase its buying power but remained on relief funds. What could it do other than create among us a new and great criminal class, because Negroes are not going to suffer nor starve? "Secretary Roper asked that this committee prepare and submit to him a report upon the present situation facing the Negro economically. This we did but before presenting it, we asked that he personally see to it that this report was placed in the hands of the President and of every cabinet member, and that either the President himself, General Johnson or Secretary Roper, issue a statement to American industry asking that Negroes be given a square deal under the New Deal." Numerous speakers appeared before the committee, Mr. Pace said. Secretary Roper, his administrative assistant, C. S. Baldwin, who sat in on the meeting; Frank R. Wilson, chief of public relations; Rep. Keenly of Tennessee, who described the relations between the races in Tennessee, and declared them favorable and fair; Congressman Oliver of Alabama, who reported a gross discrimination against Negro workers in a factory in his own state; Gov. Sweet of Colorado, who said he stood for equal rights; and Clark Foreman, adviser on the economic status of Negroes in the Interior Department. Another matter which if is reported the committee did was to select Eugene Kinkle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, as an adviser to Secretary Roper on problems arising under the recovery acts as they particularly affect Negroes. This was perhaps the committee's most important action, and most likely the main purpose of its calling together by Secretary Roper. Scarcely less important was the opposition to the acceptance of a differential wage scale based on color. So far no code which has been promulgated has openly contained such a differential although in some cases certain provisions in the codes—or of provisions omitted from them—have had practically that effect. There are also some of our writers and editors who seem inclined to accept such differentials, if proposed, to avoid the wholesale dismissals threatened and even put into effect in certain localities and industries. The matter is not one to be decided off-hand. Much depends upon the attitude and the coercive or persuasive power of the NRA. No Degree In these days when degrees are revered and college is regarded as the open sesame to the kingdom of knowledge and success, it may serve as an inspiration to those who are not, or have not been, able to attend college or even high school, to learn that Clarence Darrow was not able to secure such advantages, either. This outstanding lawyer, now 76 years of age, paid a visit last month to his old home village in eastern Ohio. The newspaper account says: Darrow recalled how he studied law in a blacksmith shop (the local blacksmith was also a lawyer) and first practiced in a tinner's shop (the local justice of the peace was also a tinsmith). "I used to go over to Squire Fitch's and hear the lawyers abuse each other. And I thought to myself, 'I want to do that.' And I have." He chuckled. Remember also, unfortunate young man or young woman, that Abraham Lincoln had no degree nor was he a pledge for any fraternity. The same was true of many hundreds more men and women, including our own Frederick Douglass, who achieved greater or less degrees of eminence. Go to school, go to college if you can, but if you can't, remember Darrow, Lincoln, Douglass, Edison and hundreds of others, and don't be discouraged. Dig; don't mope. H. L. Mencken has coined a new word which Negro newspapers may often find expressive and fitting—"hellenium." As might have been expected, and as was expected, the African prince who had the white man flogged for some indecency, was deposed by the British commission which was sent to investigate the matter. Europeans must not be tried in native courts. For Poor Langston Hughes For Poor Langston Hughes By Coleman G.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 21. 1933 PAGE The Young Negro Brain Trust Takes Model from Moscow the climax of absurdity is reached when the (Amenia) conference decries communism because of race prejudice of white labor. By KELLY MILLER The second Amenia Conference of yelept or self-styled young intellectuals met under the sponsorship of Joel E. Spingarn and issued a manifesto for the solution of the race problem. The average age of the attendants was 32 years. Considering the presence of such veteran raceologists as W. E. B DuBois, Wm. Pickens and James Weldon Johnson some of the participants must have been young indeed to bring the age average down to such a low level. This was indeed a youth movement. Youth must increase; age must decrease. The leadership of the elders was waved aside with condescending deference and accorded the respect of a decent burial. "We call our fathers for Our wiser sons, no doubt. According to the eterna youth must forever say I come." But departing caution: "Do not be too h ancient land marks whi set." Up to the time of the ference, reliance for the placed in the Constituti religion.

"We call our fathers fools, so wise we grow. Our wiser sons, no doubt, will call us so." According to the eternal fitness of things, youth must forever say to age: "Occupy till I come." But departing age leaves a word of caution: "Do not be too hasty in removing the ancient land marks which the fathers have set." Up to the time of the second Amenia Conference, reliance for the hope of the race was placed in the Constitution, philanthropy and religion. The appeal was made to the conscience of the nation and to the sense of justice and fair play of the American people. The Afro-American Council, the Niagara Movement, the Equal Rights League, the Negro Sanhedrin, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the first Amenia Conference pinned their hope on no other foundation.

Appeal is made to of to the conscience. we are told that the old razor has and needs a new blade. The des swiftly changing age call for a for the new day. The young elite to select their model from Mosel is made to the stomach instead But now we are told that the old razor has become dull and needs a new blade. The demands of a swiftly changing age call for a new deal for the new day. The young elite have chosen to select their model from Moscow. Appeal is made to the stomach instead of to the conscience. The gospel of benevolence is supplanted by the gospel of guts. The essence of the new manifesto is "white and black labor must unite to direct economic and political life." In sum and substance it is the dictatorship of the proletariat. The formal avowal of the Third International is avoided (it is easily inferred) out of circumstances regard for the amenities of hospitality. Such an open declaration would have proved to be embarrassing to the host, and doubly embarrassing to the N.A.A.C.P., which, after all, constituted the back-ground and backbone of the conference. It was also a face saver, if not a skin saver, or better still, a job saver of the membership of the conference; for practically every one of them was on the pay roll of capital and philanthropy, whose very foundation is jeopardized by the doctrine covertly cherished, but overtly avoided. The findings were evidently dictated by calmer or older heads. The more radical effusions of youth which characterized the proceedings were passed by as individual opinions for which the conference prudently enough disavowed responsibility. Glozing over facism, communism, and democracy with a prudent and salutary phraseology evinces no bold candor and forthright courage. We like our tea either steaming hot or ice cold. In times of revolutionary reforms tepidity is detested. The capitalists we know, the communists we know. But the findings at Amenia are either, neither or both, just as you chose to interpret them. The clear, clarion call of the I.L.D.'s is more convincing to those who want to convince themselves that they are radicals. A genuine radical must not evade, equivocate or qualify. The climax of absurdity is reached when the conference decries communism because of the race prejudice of white labor, whereas, as the whole world knows, communism is the only labor cult among white men, to be found anywhere on the face of the earth, which bids for the Negro on terms of racial equality. I am opposed to communism but on very different grounds. The fanatic zeal of this cult claims that it is the solvent of all human ills. Noting that organized labor operating on the higher level of the skilled crafts eschews the Negro, the conference vainly hopes that the lower ranks of unskilled and unorganized labor would be more congenial to the suggestion of racial fraternity. CONFERENCE MIDJUDGED PSYCHOLOGY OF RACE PREJUDICE This shows a surprising lack of knowledge or recognition of the psychology of race prejudice, which finds its easiest lodgment in the lower stratum of society, nearest the level of primitivity and is unaffected by compunction of conscience or the inhibitions of culture. It is out of this class that the mobs which murder, lynch and burn are formed. This stratum is not amenable to argument or reason. Tillman, Vardaman, Blease and Heifin ride into power by appealing to the unbridled passion of the white proletariat. The battle for bread between the Negro and this element is a battle for blood. How in the name of high Heaven or low Hell, the Amenia Conference expects this element to agree to fraternal rapprochement with the despised Negro surpasses my credulity. If communism is impossible, as the conference believes, the union of black and white is impossible. But even if such union were possible, it could hardly be promoted by Negro sponsorship as the conference advises. The stronger will never accept the proffer of fraternity from the lower. The lion will never fralie down with the lamb at the suggestion of the latter. Kelly Miller Regimentation of Negroes in the New Deal a Blunder Regimentation of Negroes in the New Deal a Blunder By RIENZI B. LEMUS When I went to college—in the Washington Eagle office of General Manager Robert J. Nelson—my favorite "professor" was Charles M. Thomas, by vocation a teacher in Washington's Armstrong Technical High School. In last week's issue of this newspaper the erudite and plausible Professor Thomas published an essay of pertinence on the future of colored persons in the United States, and the editors arranged the sub-heads to have one put the question— "What Do We Want?" Twas a terse, appropriate query, and one easy to answer. Naturally, being human and on every level of American culture, we want everything and anything which other persons, race regardless, desire and do not desire. Children of the same family often are opposites in makeup, actions, reactions. A white doctor down in Richmond had two sons. One became the mayor, the other was a mendicant. So it follows that if children of the same parents cannot be regimented neither can all or most individuals of a race—even though they happen to be more or less American Negroes. And by the same tokens, if being white could not make the mendicant brother what the other is down in Richmond, all the raceologists on earth can never do what Almighty God didn't intend—to make all Negroes one in this country. The white people of Massachusetts and Minnesota don't give a hoof for the white people of Mississippi—except when the Father of Waters goes on a rampage, and then they donate to the Red Cross. The interracial movement with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, insists upon regulating the affairs of colored persons everywhere, even to the extent of naming colored men to government posts of national significance. The interracialers have one pet slogan—"the time isn't ripe for the Negro to be a man"—and will only get that way if and when the good white leaders and the good black leaders so decree. So the query would be better answered by stating what we don't and shouldn't want—and have too muth of already. It is, chiefly, no regimentation under caption of this "the-Negro" business, with far too many colored persons, with their hands full on their individual accounts, seeking to regulate the lives of colored persons, generally. Short while back a young colored lady was regaling me with her plans to stop the Negro from "emoting" in prayer meetings and church services: "Twas "old stuff, harmful to the race." The fact that some devout persons manifest emotion and others just as devout do not, was lost upon her, nor could she apprehend how those shouting sisters were just as happy at it as she herself is when frequently emoting in Harlem cabarets and Greenwich Village smart places, certainly more demoralizing. Besides, emotion is emotion—whether manifested in a prayer meeting or the reaction to amours; and all are not alike—whether they be black or white. In the scheme and the nomenclature of the interracialaeens and the New Negro, all colored persons shall be as of a common mold, designed by the schemers. We don't want it! We will not to have it! In due protests against anti-Negro bootlegging on the NRA in Georgia and other states down yonder, Negro leaders have completely lost sight of the fact that in other parts of the country many colored persons' wages have been increased and their hours lessened through operation of the recovery codes. They would attempt to justify their retarding activities by contending that what affects one Negro affects all Negroes. Such would have some force of argument, maybe, if all white persons' pay had been lifted and hours shortened under the aegis of the Blue Eagle. On the contrary, there are yet thousands of white workers outside of the coal and steel industries whom the NRA codes have not benefited in the least. When the National Urban League was publicizing its accomplishment in having the Negro dock-workers at St. Louis put back under the recovery codes, a hapless group of white workers, hundreds strong, were making their way from the headquarters of the NRA in New York City, after failing categorically to get covered by the recovery codes for the electrical industry. Without organization, they had called upon a preacher to make their plea on humanitarian grounds—in vain. (Being white—though poverty-striken—the white preacher could not charge the electric barons with race prejudice.) Back in 1906, Theodore Roosevelt condemned lynching with the statement that a thing's bred upon what it's fed—or in words to that effect. Too many colored persons are now unduly penalized by the results of Negro professional leadership having been bred on what 'twas fed, namely, the "pap" of "philanthropic capitalism." That is why even in the formulative infancy of the "New Deal," a competent Negro in his field cannot be got on a single agency of the New Dispensation as a man and a person. Hence, Secretary of the Interior Ickes repeats to Dean Houston the interracialeer maxim, "the time isn't ripe," etc., and therefore, the naming of the Vann "all-Sam" committee to carry on for the New Deal on behalf of the Negro by Secretary of Commerce Roper. And such is on the list of what we shouldn't want! Washington is wholly familiar with the bitter fight between groups of white men over recovery codes, how the whole NRA scheme is being retarded by the death struggle between white mine owners on one side and white union labor leaders on the other—concerning bituminous coal. But Negroes are called upon to welcome a scheme for all colored persons to be handled with respect to vital matters by leaders in professional and business life selected by a "trough-hound" ex-Republican. Harry H. Pace is the peer of any man like himself—an insurance company president. His proper place is on the Industrial Recovery Board looking out for the interests of big business; and his assignment to the Vann committee is literally akin to putting Charles M. Schwab on the governing board of the ladies' garment makers' international union with Sidney Hillman. B. F. Hubert is the successful head of a going college in Georgia and a leader in the nation's agricultural life. He should be a 1-2-3 associate and active colleague of Henry Morgenthau, Jr., or George N. Peek, key men in the Roosevelt scheme of Farm Relief under the potential beneficences of the new dispensation. Proper assignment of men like Pace and Hubert is what we want, and should have. But even in the fourth decade of the 20th Century, despite the rise of Negroes as persons everywhere, the New Deal means the imprimatur of race, the regimentation of all and divers Negroes as "the Negro." We don't and shouldn't want this. We want and are entitled to a Negro being accorded treatment which he merits as a person—the right of an individual to live his own life, to be recognized as a person by the administration, as holds true of all other racial groups at bottom of the American people. This Week BY HAROLD G. EATON THE YOUNG NEGRO'S MISTAKE The young Negro of today is rebelling against the methods and precepts of living under which his father before him has lived. His ideas of religion, of the social order and of business by no means correspond with those of past generations. The average young college student throws his religious beliefs to the winds for the teachings of evolution, and thinks of the social side of life as a rocket. Of business, he openly boasts that the old folk before him had no idea of what it's about. His economic solution of the race difficulties is to bar the hat-in-hand leadership of yesteday. He often segregates himself from such leadership in various organizations by setting certain age limits. Not long ago George S. Schuyler, writer and organizer, set up an organization here. It was known as The Young Negro Cooperative League. The aim of the league was to establish grocery stores throughout the city for the convenience of an exclusive membership. Some thirty young men, all in their early twenties, formed their constitution to bar all Negroes past the age of 55. The first few months the young men met regularly. They expressed their opinions of Negro business pro and con. One enjoyed the eloquent delivery of various members in their denunciation of the present system. Soon stocks began to sell. A bright future was in sight for the New Negro. Then a bomb was thrown in the midst of this exclusive set of smart Alecks. One wide awake member raised the question: Who is going to support the stores of the Y.N.C.L.? It was found that only about five of the thirty young men were married. The rest ate at cafes. The one way possible for their stores to succeed was to rely on the old folk whom they had barred. The organization was short lived. In his eagerness to change the present condition of the Negro race, the young Negro is failing to include common sense. The race cannot be partly uplifted. It must be done as a whole. And segregation in any way only tends to make matters worse. The north star is little more than a degree from the true north pole and is a much surer guide than the compass needle. --- One may not wish to go any where on earth at 200 miles an hour. Why should he? SPECIAL FEATURES Think It Over By BEATRICE M. MURPHY WHITE LIES A person whom I admire and respect greatly told me a lie the other day, and I discovered it quite by accident. It wasn't one of those deliberate, diabolical lies that human beings sometimes tell, knowing that they will hurt somebody and revelling in it, but one of those "white lies" that people so often tell to spare another pain. But a friendship was broken, because our relations from now on are bound to be tinged by that lie and every time we converse or exchange confidence, I will be always asking myself, "Is this a lie she is telling me?" All of my respect for her vanished the moment I knew the truth and—hard as it may seem—every time our respect for someone we know is taken away, our faith in the human race is lessened just that much and every time a person loses part of his respect for the human race he loses just that much of his loyalty and allegiance to the Creator. I wonder why people so thoughtlessly and carelessly tear down that which it has taken years and many mutual experiences to build? In life one must believe in someone and something. Without that faith life loses its meaning. Picture then what happens when the thing in which you have implicit confidence collapses at your feet and proves itself a sham and unworthy of confidence. I'm sure it was an oversight on the part of the Almighty not to include one of the most important rules among His commandments: "Thou shalt not lie." For a lie is an insidious worm that eats out the heart of the flower and leaves a blight upon it. Is not a lie sometimes justified? I am asked; and out of the realm of my experience, 1 answer, "No, never. There is no justification for the deliberate deception of someone who is looking to you for the truth. There can be no justification for destroying a confidence. If you are unworthy of it, then you should refuse it in the first place. Friendship imposes penalties—life imposes penalties—and how can we be true to ourselves when we have been maliciously false to others? And what is a white lie? A white lie is simply a dressed-up lie. It is not told, as we assert, to spare pain, but because you are too much of a coward to admit the truth. You hid your craven fear behind the excuse of not wanting to hurt someone, when in reality he would eventually learn the truth anyway—it is inevitable—and it is yourself and not the other fellow whom you are shielding. It is simply another way of running away from a situation because we find that we are not big enough to face it. Ask yourself, then, not whether a lie is ever justified, but whether a person can ever be justified in running away from life; and the answer must be. No. Little white lies leave in their wake broken friends, seared hearts, and wrecked lives — so wrapped around with deceit that the real personality never finds the light of day and never realizes its predicament until it is too late. How can they ever be justified? IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER A Dutton prize book is "The Traipsin' Woman" by Jean Thomas. She was "the traipsin' woman," the court stenographer or "short" writer, who accompanied the judge from courthouse to courthouse, transcribing the vivid testimony of feuds, murders, and the judgment of the Law. She was a mountain woman herself—had she come from "the level land" she would have been an enemy. Hence, without arousing suspicion, she could observe the mountain festivals; she could collect ballads, and preserve in marvelous prose an accurate picture of a two hundred fifty-year-old civilization untouched until yesterday.

The police, being informed that "Thunder Without Rain" is a novel dealing with incest, are trying to discover if this motive could possibly explain the girl's action. **** Cheap sales of goods mean deterioration; but cheap editions of books denote the popularity of the originals. Findings, Amenia New York, Conference, Aug. 18-21 This conference was called to make a critical appraisal of the Negro's existing situation in American society and to consider underlying principles for future action. Such criticism at this stage does not involve the offering of concrete program for any organization for administrative guidance. There has been no attempt 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 rapidly shifting, 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. The primary problem is economic. 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. As a result of this failure the whole system of private government is being forced to attempt an economic reorganization based upon a "co-partnership" between capital, labor and government itself. The government is attempting to augment consumptive power by increasing wages, shortening hours and controlling the labor and commodity markets. As a consumer the Negro has always had a low purchasing power as a result of his low wages coming from his inferior and restricted position in the labor market. If the government program fails to make full and equal provision for the Negro, it cannot be effective in restoring economic stability. Negro Labor Exploited In the past there has been a greater exploitation of Negro labor than of any other section of the working class, manifesting itself particularly in lower wages, longer hours, excessive use of child labor and a higher proportion of women at work. Furthermore, there has been slight recognition by Negro labor or Negro leaders of the significance of this exploitation in the economic order. No technique or philosophy has been developed to change the historic status of Negro labor. Hence in the present governmental set-up there is grave danger that this historic status will be perpetuated. As a result the lower wages on the one hand will reduce the purchasing power of Negro labor and on the other be a constant threat to the standards and security of white labor. The question then arises how far existing agencies working among and for Negroes are theoretically and structurally prepared to cope with this situation. It is the opinion of the conference that the welfare of white and black labor is one and inseparable and that the existing agencies working among and for Negroes have conspicuously failed in facing a necessary alignment of black and white labor. It is impossible to make any permanent improvement in the status and the security of white labor without making an identical improvement in the status and the security of Negro labor. The Negro worker must be made conscious of his relation to white labor and the white worker must be made conscious that the purposes of labor, immediate or ultimate cannot be achieved, without full participation by the Negro worker. Labor Movements The traditional labor movement, based upon craft autonomy and separatism, which is non-political in outlook and which centers its attention upon the control of jobs and wages for the minority of skilled white workers, is an ineffective agency for aligning white and Our Mail The Tribune welcomes comments on comment or criticism, but to receive consideration they should not exceed 200 words.

Protests Use of Word "Darkies" by a Local Daily. To the Editor: A letter of protest was sent to The Washington Herald this week by George Vollin, former chief of the East Arlington Fire Department and a member of the Arlington County Citizens' Association opposing the word "darkies" being printed in an article appearing in last Sunday's Herald concerning a supposed haunted house in the 3600 block of Newark Street, Northwest. The colored people of that neighborhood were referred to as "darkies." Mr. Vollin suggested that colored people would do well to stop supporting a paper of that kind until such practice was stopped.

He commercializes his physical attraction. He is not afraid of work. But why toil and slave when you don't have to? This is the basis of his apologetic philosopy on his daily existence. His 'angel' is often a middle aged spinster, who has been forgotten by the perennial Dan Cupid and she has yet to feel the sting of one of that mischievous imp's darts. She "scuffles" all day long in milady's kitchen, forever laboring under the fantastic illusion of love. She loves her sweet man, and her sweet man loves her—or so she is led to believe. Before departing for her daily chore, the poor delusioned soul must prepare an elaborate breakfast “for my honey lump.” Oh, yes, he must have his morning meal in bed. Then a parting kiss must be delivered, but not before she tosses him a five dollar note, and an admonition to “buy something good for your lunch, but don’t throw your money away on those foolish dice.” So, on to labor and to toil, our optimistic feminine wends her way, happy and contented with thoughts and air castles founded on sweet nothings. But our handsome hero rests scronely on his couch meditating deeply on the selection of his most stunning “pinchback suit” that he must “flash” on his lady fair before the evening sun goes down. For he has made the last payment on that diamond ring and today is the day that he hopes to ask her “Will you be mine?” THUMB NAIL SKETCHES G. E.

And the BEST in CLIENTELE door-to-door. Pruden boasts that in spite of the young army that he has under his care, not one single case of illness has ever been recorded in the annals of his family diary. Here is the colored Coast Guard's service to date: Enlistment—March 26, 1904. Promoted in one stride from Surfman No. 7 to Surfman No. 2; 2nd, compiling in an examination for 1st class boatswain's mate (an exam that 396 candidates sat for) Pruden came out with a top ranking among the first fourteen. Incidentally, this occurred in 1920. 1922. Took first chief's boatswain's mate exam. Pruden was the only colored man that took this exam, but he was brilliant enough to receive the third highest rating. The two men that outranked him finished in a tiger for first honors. In June of the same year, Pruden was placed in charge of the Pea Island Station of the United States Coast Guard, an office that he still holds. This real Horatio Alger hero recently visited headquarters in an attempt to appeal to the proper authorities for a substantial increase in both personnel and equipment for his particular station. The subject of this interview stands 5 feet 11 and 3-4 inches, and weighs about 185 pounds. He is especially fond of boating and baseball. His greatest aim in life, however, is to completely educate each one of the members of his large family.

FORMER NURSE Accidentally Discovers Product to Grow Hair FORMER NURSE Accidentally Discovers Product to Grow Hair MAKES HAIR SOFT, GLOSSY AND TAKES OUT KINKS WILL SEND FREE TRIAL TO READERS OF THIS PAPER Mile. Renée Guidel, a former nurse in the Hospital des Continents at Paris, and now an Internationally Famous Beauty Expert, operating a chain of Beauty Salons in Paris, Versailles, London and New York, has discovered in a most unusual and accidental way, a compound which when used properly will actually grow and soften harsh stubborn and unruly hair in a very short time. At her salon in New York, Mile. Guidel has shown remarkable results in 21 days. As a matter of fact, the writer has personally interviewed several of her patrons and has been convinced beyond a shadow of doubt that nothing before has ever given such wonderful results. Mlle. Guidel's own story in part is as follows: "I was never particularly interested in the growth and cultivation of colored people's hair, due to the fact that I only wanted visitors to France who naturally wanted to dress and be pressed and who would perhaps only visit my salon once or twice while in Paris. "However, I had a very wealthy patron from the States (meaning America), who had hired and contracted a tropical disease while in Africa and had lost all her hair as a result. "It meant a whole lot to grow hair on this woman's head; for which reason I consulted several well-known dermatologists for years, as well as several outstanding physicians with whom I was personally acquainted. With their help and an accidental discovery of my own, I made this woman's hair grow, and then began to try the same technique. She and I worked ple we have in France whose hair is as stubborn and harsh as hair comes." The experiment was: 100 per cent successful. Then I decided to introduce my discovery to American, and, from the start, the phenomenal and uninterrupted success. "To prove that my discovery will grow hair on any head and will take the kinks out of unruly, harsh and stubborn hair, I will mail a liberal trial absolutely free of charge to any person interested." NOTE—To readers desirous of obtaining a free trial of Mlle. Guidel's discovery, write at once to Mlle. Renee Guidel, 509 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y., as she will be in this country only a short time. Otherwise it will take considerably more time in communicating with her when she returns to France.

Others elected were: vice grand master, Eudell Williams, Pittsburgh, Pa.; grand secretary-treasurer, Mrs. L. L. Stanford; grand worthy mistress, Mrs. L. B. Daulton; and grand worthy chaplain, the Rev. G. S. Carter. MAN WHO TOOK WOUNDS LIGHTLY, IN HOSPITAL Within three hours after he had left Freedmen's Hospital where he was given first-aid treatment for stab wounds of the back and chest, William Childs, 37, of 1499 Florida Avenue, Northwest, was no admitted and assigned to a ward Friday. He is in an undetermined condition suffering from a possible puncture of the lung, inflicted by an unnamed person. When Childs first appeared at the hospital, he refused hospitalization, thinking the wounds minor. He returned later and was admitted. by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES Louis (Justice Department) Lautier is accused by which State Department messenger of lifting material from Times Magazine? The Newshawk suggests to the messenger in question that he lay off of Louie if he expects to join the Kappas this year. **** The Newshawk unqualifiedly endorses the slogan popularized by Barron Collier, to wit: "As Right as Roosevelt," Mr. Collier says that "If we follow where he leads with unwavering faith and courageous action, the President will bring nearer that 'Tomorrow' in which are centered the hopes of all of U.S." George R. Wales, of Vermont, who entered the Civil Service Commission as a clerk in 1895, received promotions gradually until in 1919 he became one of the Commissioners, died last week. Mr. Wales was a Republican and had served as commissioner longer than any other one person. The writer had access to his office and had the pleasure of a few conversations with him. James (ex- Commerce) Jackson, who was knocked out of reinstatement as a specialist on Negro business to act in an advisory capacity by the recent formation of the Negro Advisory Board work with the Department of Commerce, has given up his a- Jas. A. Jackson partment at Thir- teenth and T. Streets, Northwest. Robert Lee Vann, special assistant to the Attorney General, who was last week elected chairman of the Negro Advisory Board to work with the Department of Commerce was seriously injured in an automobile wreck in Hagerston, Maryland last week. He is rapidly recuperating and should be back at his desk in the very near future. Tommy (Treasury Department) Jeter, now publicity director for the Hanson Technical Correspondence School of Aviation, tells me that Bernie Brown, who coaches the Y.W.C.A. basketball team, is now an employee of the Treasury Department. Louis (Justice Department) Mehlinger, and Joseph (Commerce Department) Bryant, have a friend in town from Chicago. I refer to none other than Attorney Arthur Mitchell, a staunch Democrat of color, who is not only well known here and in Chicago by virtue of his extensive real estate holdings and law practice but also is nationally known by virtue of his being a big fraternity man and having held the National Presidency of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity (which he plans to relinquish this year) for eight consecutive years. P Indiana last Mrs. Bertha King week. Charles (State Department) Fennel, who is one of the town's young intellectuals, is now the only employee of color in his bureau, James Obelton Holmes, who entered the State Department on May 15, 1879 as messenger, having been retired recently. "Wop" (ex-War Department) Taylor, a young philosopher detailed at the Miner Teachers' College for observation, whom the writer is happy to acknowledge as a friend, thinks it is funny that a man who will not quibble at the purchase or use of an old radio, car, or house, will only be satisfied with a brand new woman. Federal employees or color will be glad to know that their roving reporter, the Newshawk has not only been elected to be a member of the Executive Council of the New Negro Alliance but has also (particularly through the recommendations of Dutton Ferguson, Trezzvant Anderson, and Louie Lautier) been appointed, by J. Aubrey Davis the Administrator, publicity director. The writer, who is now publicity director for the Young Negroes' Cooperative Government Basketball League, and Local Number 71 of the National Federation of Federal Employees, believes that is is better to publish what you have done rather than what you intend to do. He heps that the rank and file members of the New Negro Alliance will support him in this respect as long as he is permitted to keep the position. No 'good general broadcasts his plan of attack. Offtimes, Major (Treasury Department) Queen, James (ex Commerce) Jackson, who was knocked out of reinstatement as a specialist on Negro business to act in an advisory capacity by the recent formation of the Negro Advisory Board work with the Department of Commerce, has given up his a- Mrs. Bertha King, who retired from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing some time ago, is enthusiastic about the NRA. It was she, I think, who called the Newswawk attention to the demonstration given to the movement by more than 50,000 women parades in Indianapolis Indiana last tells me, certain officers nevys know the time of attack until they receive an order to move at once in a given direction. Trezzvant (Post Office) Anderson, who as the result of appraising the Postmaster General of the refusal of a pilot of the Eastern Air Transport Company to permit him to ride caused the indefinite cancellation of that particular company's contract to carry the mail on that route, is sponsoring the organization of a Washington Press Club. At a meeting held at Harrison's last Tuesday at which the Newshawk was present, the Capital City's Ace reporters of color (except a few) were wined and dined at Mr. Anderson's expense and listened to an inspiring and informative talk on modern day Germany with special reference to its treatment of foreigners of color by Professor Lewis K. McMillian who has just returned after a stay of four years during which time he earned a degree from the University of Heidelberg. Dr. McMillian, who has been appointed to the Faculty of Virginia State College to teach German and Philosophy, was primarily responsible for the resignation of President Peacock of Shaw University when he proved that the proxy was sanctioning segregation in the University's dining hall. Which State Department messenger is trying desperately to hide the fact that he is making overtures to his wife, from whom he is at present separated, to take him back and at the same time assuring two of his girl friends that nothing is further from his mind? Does he not know that murder will out? A War Department clerk tells me that the department has barricated itself behind a barrier of official red tape and sought refuge from inquiries in a stolid silence as a result of its being besieged on behalf of the 45 married women clerks who are slated for dismissal from the adjutant general's office on October 15, 1933. Joe (Senate Subway) Smith, the expert mechanician in charge of the unique monarch subway service between the Senate Office Building and the Capitol, is not to be added to the list of unemployed by reason of having reached statutory age for automatic retirement. President Roosevelt has issued an executive exempting him from retirement, and retaining him in employment until August 31, 1935, because his services are indispensable to the subway system. **** Federal employees are evidencing a healthy interest in the NRA. The two questions picked at random from my mail question box which I shall attempt to answer this week are these: (1) Are Hitler's Nazis doing anything in Germany which might be an imitation of our NRA? (2) What is the consensus of opinion of the Canadian Press towards Henry Ford's attitude toward the NRA? In answer to the first question, I refer you to The New York Herald Tribune of September 14 which states in part: "The Nazis are emulating the NRA in their drive to feed the jobless. A plaque resembling our Blue Eagle will be displayed by homes sharing funds." To answer question number two partially, I beg permission to reprint certain excerpts from the Vancouver Sun of a recent date. Their front page editorial says in part: "Henry Ford refuses to sign his National Recovery pledge and threatens to battle Roosevelt's efforts to end destructive and useless industrial competition. "Rather than subject the 120 million people who live in North America to the suffering and chaos which faces them if unbridled competition is allowed to fight to a finish, President Roosevelt should take Henry Ford by the coat collar and boot him and his 600-million dollar fortune off of this continent. "If the President doesn't the people will, because the day of the financial dictator is ended; and that's what Henry Ford is trying to do, become a financial dictator. "Canadians are equally interested with Americans in hoping that the Roosevelt experiment will bring about modified capitalism in a peaceful manner, rather than experience the brutality of the Russian and Serbian revolutions. "What Roosevelt is trying to do—to bring about co-operation to American industry—British Columbia tried to do ten years ago for her fruit growers. "Society is so intricate and so integrated and so interdependent that it has to devise social laws and codes for the protection of its members. Those who refuse to respect and obey these social laws are outlawed; they are shot or are summarily dealt with. There is no other way by which society can protect itself and live. President Roosevelt is social minded (the Canadians are telling us). He is broad-minded and liberal-minded. What he is doing is not for the personal benefit of himself or for a small clique of friends." A good point well taken. Uncooked meat should be unwrapped and placed on a dish no placed in the bottom of the ice box. This point is cooler than any other part of the ice box. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1968 Chicago and Chicagoans By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL VISITORS GALORE! I am beginning to know Chicago a little better and everywhere I go I meet old friends of many years ago—or new friends of whom I have been reading for years—and in some instances through correspondence. The visitors are coming to Chicago in droves and everywhere they are in evidence. Why, I remember one Sunday attending a church service during which the pastor had a list of every visitor attending the service and read the names off, asking each individual to stand as his name was called and so many persons stood at one time or another that, except the choir, I thought the whole congregation were visitors. At the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company's offices, downstairs from my office, visitors are coming and going constantly. In fact, the company has assigned many of its employees to the task of escorting the visitors through the magnificent offices—the finest maintained by any colored firm I have ever seen with the possible exception of those of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company on Parrish Street in Durham, North Carolina. At the end of the summer season I think I will try and borrow the visitor's register of Liberty Life and write a story on the many celebrities whose signatures appear therein. Perhaps more visitors have come from Atlanta—at least those who I have met—than from any other one city. And every week-I see new faces from the Atlanta Daily World and Scott Newspaper Syndicate plant. The latest were W. C. Kelly, and on another occasion, Miss Agnes Maddex. ***** Generally it is my pleasure when out anywhere to be in the company of one who knows everybody and everything and, as I am rather timid about meeting people, I am pleased to have my escort point out the many noted individuals and in this manner I have at least seen nearly all the really big Chicagoans and those visiting here. The swankiest motor group, I believe, was the family of the Rev. Channing H. Tobias, of New York City. I just happened to be at the residence on South Parkway where they were to stay when they arrived from New York. And what a charming trio of girls the youngsters are. Parades, during the past two weeks, have been so numerous past my windows that I haven't attempted to keep up with them. They are grand sights, however. All traffic stops for them and the "big shots" are rushed hither and yon with special motorcycle guards—impressive is heardly the word. Every night is a grand opening night for some new beer joint—or "garden" as the places are called. You call at an address on business one week and go back the next to find that the business has moved out and a beer garden is in full swing. I have been to a theatre once since I have been in Chicago. The picture was advertised as the most stupendous ever produced. However, from beginning to end, the picture was full of tragedy, and to one whose very life has been a continuous tragedy for the past seventeen years, sitting there looking at more tragedy had no appeal for me—no matter how stupendous it was. So, I haven't been to a show since. My radio is sufficient, for I can always tune in on some music which is all the show I need or enjoy. Do not eat watermelons which have not been cooled. If you do not have time to wait for them to cool in refrigerator, fill tub or barrel with cold water and put melon into same and let remain two or three hours. Flimsy, crinkled bed spreads which have become so very soft and soil easily can be brought into desirable use by dipping into thin starch. When dry, fold; do not iron. BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE You need not go to the store and buy expensive beauty clay, you can make your own at a very small cost. Get some "Fullers Earth," and mix with just enough witch hazel to make a stiff paste, then add a few drops of Tincture of Benzoin. If you will wash your face with castile soap, rinse and then smear on the paste, remove the clay when dry with a little warm water, the best results will be possible. Cold cream your face next and follow up with an ice rub. Your face will both look and feel wonderful. Do you know that a simple shoe tree makes a perfect patter for the face. Just cover the end with absorbent cotton. Always use the patter to pat in the astringent on our face, especially under the chin along the jaws on the contour line. I once saw a very lovely lady whose skin was like a child's although she was over 50. She told me that, the secret of her loveliness, and I pass it on to you. She keeps an old-fashioned rain barrel in her back yard and always has this soft, water for her face. She uses no other. RECIPES FOR HOME AND CLUB AFFAIRS By GERTRUDE C.

Today's Tomatoes Now that you are enjoying tomatoes today, don't forget the tomorrow's ahead when this fruit of the garden will not be so cheap or so plentiful. Preserve some. Spice others. You will be glad you did, a few months hence. The following recipes call for generous quantities of sugar, but sugar is inexpensive this year, and as always, is a quick-energy fuel that fits wonderfully into the cold weather menu. Scald the tomatoes and slip off the skins. Place the tomatoes in a porcelain or enamel bowl and add the sugar. Let them stand overnight. Drain off the juice and boil it rapidly until it threads. Add the tomatoes, and lemons sliced thin, and cook the preserves until they are thick and clear. They should be a rich red color. Seal in clean jars. **Tomato-Raisin Conserve** 2 quarts fresh, ripe tomatoes 4 ounces apples (peeled, cored, washed) 1 small piece of mace (tie spices in cheese-cloth bag) Chosee-utah egg) Boil all ingredients except sugar until a thick mass is obtained. Add sugar slowly and boil about 15 minutes, or until jelly stage is reached, which is when the mass sheets from the side of the spoon. One cup of nut meats may be added to this just before removing from the fire. Pour into glasses and seal. Spiced Green Tomatoes 1 tablespoonful stick cinnamon 1 teaspoon each whole cloves and allspice 1 tablespoon white mustard seed Wash the tomatoes but do not peel them. If small tomatoes are used, prick them slightly. Combine the sugar, vinegar and spices. Bring the mixture to the boiling point and pour it over the tomatoes. Let them stand for several hours or overnight. Drain off the liquid and cook it until it coats a spoon. Add the tomatoes and cook until they are clear. Seal in clean, hot jars. Boston Cream Pie What is in a name, and how? Have you ever stopped to think of the queer twists that we give to our food names? For instance, Johnny-cake is a hot bread, short-cake is made of biscuit dough, French-pastry is made of cake, and Boston-cream pie is a cake dessert. Nevertheless, they all have one thing in common—they all contain flour combined with baking powder. The best flour, for these baked dishes, is made from soft wheat which contains less and more tender gluten than hard wheat flour and so makes products that are more delicate. The baking powder should be of the best—one that is efficient and healthful. Of all the types of baking powder one of the most healthful is that made of soda and monocalcium phosphate, because that not only leaves well but gives the food added minerals. This is the kind of baking powder that is combined with salt and Toasted AN PE Frozen with rich cre Toasted AND Buttered PECANS Frozen with rich cream and sugar NRA WE DO OUR PART Breyers ICE CREAM BUTTER PECAN ICE CREAM An original Breyer creation ted with the intent of offering and found to be wholesome, eal.

Add scalded milk and cook over hot water, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes. Add egg yolks, slightly beaten and cook 2 minutes more. Add flavoring and when cool spread between sponge layers. SPINACH SOUP Wash one pound of spinach carefully; cook it in a large kettle with a tightly fitting lid for ten minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Take two cups of this cooked spinach and cut finely with two knives. Make a thin cream sauce by melting 4 tablespoons of butter, 4 tablespoons of flour, 2 teaspoons of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper, and 4 cup of milk. Let this cook slowly for at least ten minutes. Then add the 2 cups of cut spinach and liquor. Sprinkle the top with chopped parsley. This recipe serves 8 people at the approximate cost of 3½ cents per serving. GRAPEJUICE PARFAIT Two tablespoons gelatin, ore, third cup cold water, one cup grape juice, two tablespoons lemon juice, one-half cup orange juice, one-half cup sugar, two cups whipped cream. Soak gelatin in cold water and dissolve in hot grapejuice. Add other ingredients, and allow to become partly cold. Whip with eggbeater until fluffy, then add whipped cream and pile into tall ornamental glasses. Set to chill 1 hour, garnish with star of whipped cream and candied violet.

King, chair- man of the Distriet Committee, promead to give his support *to he promotion of any needed legis- Jation with regards to the better- ment of loeal cemeteries. Questioned by: the Tribune about the continued complaints of James C. Wright, teacher and civic lead- er, of 514 T Street, Northwest, con- cerning the alleged deplorable con- dition at Woodlawn Cemetery, Sen- ator King said, Friday, that the matier had been referred to the District Commissioners for a re- port, and if legislation was needed hie would give his support. He in- timated that, if necessary, a, hear- ing would be held at the beginning of Congress and all interested par- ties would be permitted to give testimony. Mr. Wright, who for. the past two years has waged an almost single-handed fight for remedial relief at. the Woodlawn Cemetery, said he intended to carry the fight to the finish. Within yecent months he has been joined in his protest by other site owners at the cemetery, several District churches and the Morning Star Lodge of Elks. Im his last communication to the Senator, he pointed out several dis- crepancies in the report of Corpo- yation Counsel William W. Bride on the conditions at the cemetery. Finds Dead Woman on Release from Jail Events have moved rapidly in the life of Mose Henson, of 317 C Street, Southwest, within the past week. * First, Henson was locked up ‘at the Fourth Precinct, Friday, erarged with slashine Bessie C. Carter, 23, of 124 C Street, South- west, on the head and across the abdomen with a knife. She was treated at both Providena: and Gallinger Hospitals. When the young woman refused to prosecute Henson, upon whom she had: also wielded a knife,- the charge placed against both was “disorderly. conduct.” Released from jail, Henson de- cided to make a call, Sunday morn- ing, to ‘241° Third Street, South- west. Going to a_ second floor room, he discovered Mrs. Susie Yates, . <5, an occupant of the house, in an uncons ious condition An ambulance itom the Cas- valty Hospital was summoned, but Mrs. Yates was pronounced dead of a heart attack by the accom penying physician. ere ee AUTO BREAKS LEG Robert Thomas, 52, of 3611 Thir- feenth Street, Northwest, _ was struck by an auto at Third Street and Maryland Avenue, Southwest Friday night, He was treated al ¥mergency Hospital for a broker leg and injuries to his right arm. Parents in Berwyn, Near * Philadelphia, Still De- fying Authorities Be a eee te aa Though threats of arrest and jail terms face them, Negro parents of Easttown and Tredyffrin paid no heed to the orders of the joint school board of the two townships last week that they return their children to school. Instead they followed the advive of their attorney Raymond Pace Alexander and defied the schoo! board. For fifteen months these parents have refused to permit their children to attend schools that have been especially desig- nated for Negroes. Several changes have been made by the school board since schoo! closed last June, principally the ve. Placing of Negro teachers with white ones. This, however, has made no dif. ference to the parents who insist that they. care not whether thé teachers be white or Nero so long as their children are nermitted t attend schools that are open t other children, Wilmer K.

Nichols Declares that America Must Pin Hopes on Christ Declaring that if America is to survive we must hang our hopes on Christ and repent of our many sins, the Rev. J. P. Nichols delivered the sermon at the opening meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference held at the Revelation Baptist Evangelist Church Monday afternoon. Preaching on the subject, "Will the Glory of America Fade?" from the text, "God Gave Them Up"—Romans 1:26, declared that if America gives God up, God will give up America. He said: "The glory of our God shall endure forever, but when any nation, race or individual insists on the absolute violation of the word of God, you may expect God to withdraw his grace. Inventions, intellect and schemes will be removed in the light of God." He continued saying that faith in God and love for one's fellowmen has made America what it is today—the greatest ration in the world, its glory being revealed in the natural, vegetable, mineral, animal, commercial, intellectual, industrial and religious resources and productions. He asked the question: "Will she like Egypt, Samaria, Nineveh, Jerusalem, Babylon, Carthage, Rome and other great powers that hasked in idolatry, forget God?" and answered it with the statement that, "America will degenerate and fall if she persists in licentious habits and follows the forbidden paths of idolatry, for God will give her up." In conclusion, the Rev. Mr. Nichols pleaded for a reconstraction and rededication for the glory of God. A.M.E. Preachers' Meeting Opens The A.M.E.

Bishops Still Oppose Berry as Secretary of Missions Ten of Twelve Prelates Refuse to Send Money to Him Though He Is Upheld by the Courts; Women's Bodies Plan Merger Baptist Convention to Israel and Miles Churches Discuss Current Topics Lead at C.M.E. Conference CHICAGO.—(ANP)—That A.M. E. secretary of missions L. L. Berry, recent victor in fights over the office held in New York courts is not regarded as the secretary by a majority of the bishops of the A.M.E. church was clearly indicated at the Connectional Council and Missionary Council meetings held here this week. The Rev. Mr. Berry was present at the meetings but is said to have felt a lack of co-diality in the attitude of his brethren, who are not disposed to forgive him for dragging the issue of retention of his office into the courts, rather than resting it on the judgment of the ecclesiastical body. The Home and Foreign Missions Board, the official missionary body of the church, is a New York corporation with directors who reside in that state. When the late Secretary Coit died, this New York board, disregarding the wishes of the bishops met and elected Mr. Berry who was the next in line. This action precipitated a fight. The Bishops' Council elected Rev. Carl Flipper, son of Bishop Flipper, a minister in Kansas, to the post. Mr. Berry and the New York board went to court and twice emerged victorious in decisions which hold, that since the mission society is a New York corporation it has the right to elect its own officers. To Send Money to Bishop Flipper The bishops plan to retaliate. Their position evidently is that if they cannot name their secretary of missions then neither will they support him. Ten of the bishops are reported lined up to back the Rev. Mr. Flipper. The other two are supporting Berry or have remained silent. These ten bishops are said to have pledged themselves to send all missionary monies to Mr. Flipper and to refuse to recognize the New York office of Mr. Berry. The Women's Mite Missionary Society and the Women's Home and Foreign Mission Society, the two women's organizations which are attempting to merge were in session last week at the same time as the Connectional Council. The good ladies did not put through the merger at this meeting. They did not complete their union, but reported "progress" and will offer a definite plan of merger at the The Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia and Vicinity has about completed arrangements for celebrating its fifth anniversary. The sessions will be held at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church beginning Monday, October 9, and closing Friday, October 13. The general theme for the convention is: "Meeting the Spiritual Needs of the Hour," and this theme will be discussed from the viewpoint of the local church, the state, and of society. Many notable speakers are scheduled to address the delegates. Communism and leisure are among the live topics listed for round table discussions. Dr. William A. Taylor is president of the convention. Sessions will be held in the morning, afternoon and at night. MT. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH On Tuesday evening the regular prayer and praise service will be held after which the Rev. M. Watts will deliver a sermon to the Faithful Few Club of which Miss Grace Jennings, is president.

CHURCH OF INCARNATION IN DEANWOOD, D.C. The Rev. Faith Cumbleton, pastor, presided Sunday morning on the "Widow's Day." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 21. 1953 next meeting of the Bishops' Council to be held in February. There were about 45 members of the executive bodies of both organizations present. Mite Missionary President Absent One of the bodies represents the northern wing of the church. It is the Women's Mite Missionary Society and is financially the stronger of the two. Its president, Mrs. Christine S. Smith, widow of the late Bishop C. S. Smith, did not appear, but was represented by the widow of Bishop A. L. Gaines, of Baltimore, vice president. Mrs. L. M. Hughes, of Baltimore, president of the Home and Foreign Mission body was present. Secretary Berry was at the meeting since both organizations are affiliated with the general missionary society. So was the Rev. Mr. Flipper. When a committee was appointed with representatives from both women's bodies and ordered to bring in a routine report, Mr. Berry arose and called attention to a law which said that the secretary of missions should be a member of the committee. "But," protested Bishop Gregg rising, "we are not yet certain who the secretary of missions is." Later when a report was brought in with Mr. Berry's name as secretary, his name was expunged before it was accepted. Suggested Newspapers Be Barred Bishop William Decker Johnson, speaking before the conference warned it against publicity. He said that their meetings where business was being discussed should be closed and that designated per- sonals should be authorized to hand out publicity. The newspapers through garbled and untrue reports have hurt the church and hampered its efforts he said. Reporters instead of coming to people of authori- ty get into meetings and secure inaccurate and biased information from people on the floor, he stated. Among the bishops present were Right Revs. H. B. Parks, senior bishop; H. W. Heard, Philadelphia; M. H. Davis, Baltimore; R. C. Ransom, Ohio; Noah Williams, South Carolina; W. A. Fountain, Georgia; J. A. Gregg, Kansas; W.

Church, both of Washington, first and second, respectively, in making the largest contributions.

ANDERSON For the Associated Negro Press The current season of conventions has closed and with the end comes the time to pause for a look at the condition of Negro fraternals during this teriffic period of strain. The I.B.P.O. Elks rate high in the list of Negro fraternal orders, on account of their large membership. The Elks have had a hard year of it, since last they gathered in Atlantic City in 1932. The finances have reached an alarming condition, even though it is reported the membership has increased—some. The total expenditures of the Grand Lodge at Indianapolis last week were approximately $3,000, a tremendous drop from the $27,000 splurge for the same purpose in New York City in 1927. Drastic cuts in per diem and expenses as well as salaries made possible this low figure. There were plenty of disgruntled "Bills" when the "pay-off" came, but after thinking it over, the brothers took it in good spirit and canceled those intended side-trips and went home instead. On the other hand, the Daughter Elks showed the amazing cash balance for the year of over $24,000 against $4,000 for the brothers. Their total receipts since last August ran up to $48,000. Mrs. Abbie M. Johnston, grand daughter ruler, and Mrs. Buena Kelly Gibbs, grand secretary, are due to take a bow. To bolster work undertaken by the Negro Industrial League, the Grand Lodge voted $500 to help finance the work of that group in fighting discrimination against Negroes under the NRA codes. The order sets a precedent by giving Finley Wilson a two-year term from now on. A convention every two years wouldn't have been bad, either. **** The Negro Business League met in Durham N.C., and put through the needed legislatio to bridge what they called the gap between the professional and working man—through business — and thereby got in on the ground floor of the most vital problem yet to face the Negro, where his own welfare is concerned. They likecut cut out their extravaganzas, transacted their business and went home. This statement from Dr. R. R. Moton is poignant: "We spend a billion and a half dollars each year for food and there should be at least 300,000 more positions for Negroes in this field." Tuskegee Institute, Hampton and Howard are preparing them for these positions, and the working man supplies the money to pay for it, through investment with the professional man. That way we'll get somewhere. "Fraternities" not listed in the same field as those more important race organizations do not get the same kind of consideration, but their place in the scheme of things is by no means unimportant, for many great questions have been settled in those "around-the-table" gatherings in fruit houses here and there. Through them should come that fine mental and cultural stimulus so necessary to level-headed thinking. The morticians, the technicians, each an important group, have their places to fill in the specialized fields. ***** In Washington, D.C., a few months ago we had a terrific splurge about the segregation idea when "Green Pastures" came to the city—lots of noise and everything.

Department for Discrimination Refused Seat in Southbound Liner from Charlotte, N.C., to Newsman; Air Mail Service on Line Suspended Sept. 9 For the Associated Negro Press Official orders by the office of the Second Assistant Postmaster General, Division of Air Mail Service, announced last week that air mail service on the line of the Eastern Air Transport Company, between Charlotte, N.C., and "Augusta, Ga, was suspended on September 9, until further notice. It was this line which discriminated against Trezzvant (Andy) Anderson, chief Washington corre- pondent of the Associated Negro Prass and theatrical editor of the Washington Tribune, denying him a seat on the southbound liner to Augusta, from Charlotte, on July 2, of this year, or, the excuse that the plane was filled. This came after Mr. Anderson had made telephone reservations for a seat on the plane. Refused his seat after reaching the airport, Mr. Anderson immediately wired Postmaster-General James A. Farley, at Washington, D.C. Mr. Anderson is also a railway mail clerk. He also wired the New York office of the N.A.A.C.P. Postmaster-General Farley immediately undertook an investigation into the affair, through Second Assistant Postmaster-General W. W. Howes, and the superintendent of the U.S. Air Mail Service. The Second Assistant Postmaster-General advised Mr. Anderson that the matter would be taken up with the president of the Eastern Air Transport Company. Mr. Anderson meanwhile threatened a suit against the company. The last haulage of air mail of the U.S. over this route took place with the close of September 9. Mr. Anderson decided to withdraw his intended suit. The Eastern Air Transport operates the air line service from New York to Miami, Fla., The Washington terminus is at the airport across the river on the Virginia side, at the south end of the Highway Bridge. Radio Technicians Form New Fraternity Through the efforts of local radio operators, there has been organized a national professional fraternity of Negro radio technicians who have earned Federal Radio Commission certificates. The name Kappa Sigma Upsilon has been chosen chiefly because of the similarity those Greek letters bear to the English word, key-name of the most important instrument in wireless telegraphy. The fraternity's national headquarters here are in communication with the membership in several states through its own network of experimental radio stations installed in its members' homes and licensed by the federal authorities. Secret telegraph codes are employed. Officers of the society are Rufus P. Turner, president; Rupert A. Lloyd, vice president; and Dwight O. W. Holmes, jr., secretary-treasurer. The master control radio station is operated by Herbert R. Orr and Alvin H. Kent, both white. BREAKS SKULL IN FALL Three-year-old Julius Green, of 613 Tenth Street, Northeast, suffered a fracture of the skull Sunday night when he fell about eight feet from the front porch of his home. tality n the Nation's capital. White cops are beating up Negro prisoners, both male and female, and capital Negroes are getting together about it, and for once are really going to do something. That's fine. Meanwhile, in the same city another menace, a real substantial menace, is creeping up on the unnoticing "defenders of the faith." It is this: For years and years, ever since Negroes first got a foothold on U Street—the famous Negro thoroughfare of the District of Columbia—this street has been hailed and sung. But today, slowly but surely, all the Negro business located along this great boulevard is gradually being undermined by white business men, promoters and investors. For instance, all of the theatres on this street are owned by whites, and, incidentally, by some of the finest white men in business. Practically every amusement concession along The Street is either owned or backed secretly by whites, and very few by Negroes outright. White grocers operate the majority of the grocery stores; clothes shops owned and operated by whites are springing up everywhere. Of course, we have to have these accommodations, but what's the matter with Negro business men and merchants supplying some of them? It is a sad tribute to the lack of Negro interest in such things. That's to our credit. Even more striking is the startling realization that white realtors are bunying up property along this Negro street. That tells "is own story. Lafayette M. Horshaw, 44-year retired man of the Department of the Interior, can recall when whites first began moving out of these districts, 25 years ago, and now he can just as well see where they are moving back again. That tells its own story also. NEGRO FIREMEN Murder for the Job in The Nation of July 12 recited the details of the tragedies of fifteen Negro railroad employees in Mississippi without mentioning any of the events leading up to them. The cause of this reign of terror is attributed to the employment of Negro firemen while white firemen go without jobs, the question of seniority rights and agreements to the contrary notwithstanding. During more normal times the positions of firemen on certain southern divisions of the Illinois Central Railroad were divided on a fifty-fifty ratio between Negroes and whites. The whites accepted the division because there was plenty of work for both, and because "the left side of the cal" was the Negro's job for a number of years. With the depression came a demand from the white firemen that the ratio of Negro firemen be reduced 5 per cent. This was granted. In 1932 Negro firemen held approximately 45 per cent of the jobs. The new deal had not yet turned the corner, jobs continued to be scarce, and the white firemen asked for another reduction in the ratio of Negro firemen. Probably this was more than the railroad officials could stomach Action on the request was delayed over a long period. Meanwhile, the murders began. Though all of the shootings have occurred in Mississippi, the Louisiana and Vicksburg divisions of the Illinois Central Lines are also involved in the dispute. Mississippi's murders illustrate one phase of the intense struggle for survival of the Negro fireman. New contracts between the railroads and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen negotiated during the last ten years have been largely responsible for reducing the ratio of Negro firemen on the Southern Railroad from 80 per cent before the war to 10 per cent. On the Atlantic Coast Line, where formerly 90 per cent of the firemen were Negroes, the percentage is now below 40. In 1930 it had dropped from 90 per cent to 50 per cent on the Seaboard Air Line, with the Brotherhood seeking a contract to permit further reductions. These are the jobs that white men would not have before the war because of the low rate of pay and the dangers of the job. With the increased pay and improved status of firemen made possible by the government administration in 1918, Negro firemen have been forced to fight a "white-dog contract" whereby several lines have signed agreements with the brothershops that not only restrict the percentage and territory of Negro workers but in some instances provide that they be replaced by white workers as rapidly as vacancies occur. Furthermore, the great St. Louis and San Francisco system in 1928 issued regulations that pointed to the eventual elimination of all Negroes from train, shop, and yard service. You liberals laughed in 1926 when President Robertson of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen told the Detroit convention that he hoped to report at their next meeting that not a Negro remained on the left side of an engine cab. Well, the "white-dog contract" is one of the results of that bit of demagogery. And when the Progressive Order of Locomotive Firemen (a Negro organization formed because the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen does not admit Negroes) decided to fight this discrimination on the Atlantic Coast Line, Donald R. Richberg [now counsel for Recovery Administration] of defense counsel upheld that road's action because Negro firemen could not be promoted to engineers. Is not this a dirty dish to set before Joseph B. Eastman? New York IP. De A. REED EDITOR'S NOTE—Eastman is the government Enrolled Co-ordinator, authorized and appointed under the New Deal legislation. Eight-month-old Mary Lillian Reid, little daughter of Mrs. Alice Bell, of 225 C Street, Southeast, was found dead in bed by her mother about 2 a.m., Friday. Mrs. Bell told police that she placed the child in bed about 10 p.m., and when she went to bed himself an hour later, the child was sleeping peacefully. The mother awoke shortly before 2 a.m., and tried to arouse the infant in order to feed it. Mrs. Bell reported the incident to the Fourth Precinct and the Casualty Hospital ambulance was summoned. Dr. Hageage, the accompanying physician, pronounced the infant dead.

What a wallop to the field of trained leaders!!" Says the Dr.: "It takes 8 per cent of any generation to fill the leadership places. Today twice as many as are needed are being trained for these places." If you don't think it's true, check up on the large number of collegiate "numbers writers," and then check on the number doing business locally on the Howard U. campus——ouch! Statistics showed that in May, 1930, there were 164 applicants for every 100 jobs; 181 in May, 1931, and in January, 1932, there were 207 for every 100 jobs. The ratio kept on going so alarmingly fast that the U.S. statistician laid away his pencil, and hid him off to a speakeasy...and speaking of that— The U.S. Gov't will lift its ban on the importing of whiskey in ten days. Now watch those booties who have been turning out 16-year-old Three-Star Hennessey, Haig & Haig, Old Taylor, et cetera, et cetera, right under our vernoses, go on a rampage...ah the howls will surely start rising now. What!! we'll have some genuine stuff, "really off the boat," and not apartment house bathtubgin. Now watch for grins along the Rialto. Here in Washington thirty-one Commerce department aides have regained their former Federal jobs, but "Billboard" Jackson was not in the list,—nor were any other Negroes. And just now they are searching for someone to fill Jack's place as head of the to-be-enlarged Small Business Section down there. Ahoy, there, Sec. Roper! Why not the capable Mr. Jackson himself? Who is better fitted for the job? Jack's passing is the tragedy of the year for the race. "Slain for political reasons," should be his epitaph. Two local colored police officers have turned down offers to become members of the D.C., Police Trial Board, says Major Edward W. Brown, police super. With all the red tape, and strings tied to it, and what with the ever-increasing public sentiment against the local police department as a result of third-degrees and brutality, who can blame the good colored brethren? Although the Elks, in Indianapolis last month, voted $500 to John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Negro Industrial League, for furtherance of the work of that league, and other organizations have gone on record as supporting it, we have noted that the league has seemingly gone into a temporary (?) state of dormancy, as far as doing things is concerned, with several serious cases now before the NRA board which could stand a little of the league's pressure. For instance, the coal codes, and the contractors codes for the construction industry, directly affecting 30,000 unskilled Negro workers in the government's Mississippi flood control project. Come on brethren, let's have some action for our money. Speaking of the tie-up over the stock of the National Country Club this pillar wonders how much stock, if any, was sold in the Collins Million-Dollar Flashlight Battery Corporation, over which we used to rave grandiliquently. And where it is now? --- Mr. Brewington, former Chicago goan, and associate of Harold Ickes, secretary of the Interior, is very much in evidence around the White law hotel, these days, and it is understood that because of his "contacts" with the genial Mr Ickes, our Mr. Brewington is capable of pulling strings which juggle jobs around like a bunch of marionette operators. There are other tales afoot, also, and this correspondent has been approached by certain individuals who are ready to throw their John Hancocks on the dotted line, to say that Mr. Brewington can't quite make good on his promises. Of course, it's no squabble of ours, but being of good Southern stock, from a land where a promise is a sacred thing, we still feel that the brethren should be prepared to make good on their word—or take the consequences. --- The offices of the National Herald are listed at 704 T Street, N.W.

Girl Seeker Loses Cash to Footpads Accepting an invitation of two strange men to visit the Southwest section of the city to see some girls, John T. Golden, of 1410 Columbia Street, Northwest, came to grief about 3 a.m., Sunday. Golden was walking along on Sixth Street between N and O Streets, when he was approached by the couple. Upon his readiness to accompany them, a taxicab was hailed and the trio was driven to an unknown alley. After the driver had been dismissed, one of the men grabbed Golden around the neck, while the other went through his pockets and robbed him of $8.22, a pocket knife, and six handkerchiefs. Following a report to the Fourth Precinct and relayed to the Second Precinct, Officers L, W, Rank and Frederick, Owens L. W. Rank and I. W. Taylor, both white, arrested John, of the 700 block of O Street, Northwest, and Lovett Twiggs, of the 1000 block of Eleventh Street, Northwest.

Republican Club Plans Intensive Fall Campaign The executive committee of the Blaine Invincible Republican Club met at its headquarters, Monday, J. Franklin Wilson was elected chairman of a sub-committee to study ways and means for carrying on a campaign in the 1934 congressional election. Francis Wells, chairman of the executive committee, and Mr. Wilson have already made several trips to nearby states, making contacts for the 1934 work. The next meeting of the executive committee will be held September 25, at which time further plans will be studied to perfect the work of the organization. and their mouths gaped aghast, as he deftly dodged the barrage of non-support offered him by Bill Vare, Philly boss, when he endorsed John C. Asbury as his candidate for Judge Henry's seat on the bench. Asbury, whose sudden flight to Philly prominence hasn't covered a decade—like Ed Henry's—played fox, and sat tight. He will not campaign. Why? He argues, "Bill Vare has the town sewed up, so I don't have to fight." But Edward W. Henry showed sagacity—and wisdom—when he went Democratic, so as to get some more votes. He is conceded to be one of the most popular men in Philadelphia. That helps, and by getting Ed Henry, the Demos among our people, are also helped. Anyway, this seems to be a great year for "swapping horses in midstream," and if you don't believe me, ask Finley Wilson, he knows. So do a lot of other Republicans who saw the light of day—in time (?)—or am I sarcastic? ...

Good. Well, we are also told that 30 white cops were detailed to keep order and preserve the peace at the dance hall where the Duke was playing, and that approximately 3,500 Negroes jammed their way into the hall. So far so good. Well, somehow, the peace was disrupted during the course of the evening, and here's what happened: One Negro man was killed, one seriously injured, and one hundred Negroes there were arrested. And all that while 30 WHITE policemen were there to protect the peace. That's that. Meanwhile the following FACTS have been learned since then: There were not 30 policemen but six, four of them listening to the music. There were not 3,500 in the hall but 2,700. No one was murdered. No one was murdered. No one was seriously injured. Officials of the Northwestern precinct, directly in front of the hall are anxious to know where the 100 persons were arrested and when, as they are supposed to do all the locking up there. But, listen to this: In Washington, D.C., on the following night, Duke Ellington played for a Negro dance at the Masonic Temple. Listen: One NEGRO cop was detailed to keep the peace, and approximately 8,000, just 500 less than the Baltimore affair boasted, were present, while 300 more crowded the sidewalks outside to hear the strains of Duke's music in his home town. Now, here's what happened THAT night: NOTHING!!! Savvy? The Negro cap was Officer Macon Payne, of 1215 Harvard Street, here, detailed to the Second prescinct, born in Columbia, S.C., and he has patrolled the beat including the Masonic Temple, the club Prudhom, the Palm Temple Beer Gardens, for four years, and has never had a serious scrap to occur yet. Draw your own conclusions. And now, 'tis time to go, and so we will away, until next week. STARDUST By EDWARD LAWSON ★★★★ WHAT HAS HAPPENED When Nita Alden, night club entertainer, marries a "Marquis" and quits her job, and becomes an overnight sensation. When Nita finds that her husband is a fake she divorces him, and Starling finds herself a new job in a night club operated by dapper Jimmie Marks. She falls in love with Rob Berry, a Harlem columnist who styled that she cares for her, but only "just a little." Now on go with the story: CHAPTER IV There was a new note of blue in Starling's songs after that. They were more real, more touchingly sincere. Those in the know said that she sang for the heart, and that her heart was sad Not that anyone could understand just why. Surely she, of all persons, had no cause for sorrow. Her fame was slowly spreading, her following had increased, and Nita Alden had been swept into eclipse. Sam Freeman had been swamped with offers for her services, Jimmie Marks had voluntarily doubled her pay, and Pappa Hoskins had come to her on bended knee and begged her to come back to the Blue Bird. She had everything, Starling did. Everything but the man she wanted. "Rob!" In the middle of the night she would wake up, calling his name. But of course he never knew of that. The Mad Baron of Blab had no time for such trivialities. There were other men, of course. There were stage-door Johnnies and Seventh Avenue sheiks; there were waiters and stage-hands and property boys. There was Sam Freeman. There was Jimmie Marks. . . "You're blue," Jimmie said. "Come on, let's take a ride. It's early yet—not two o'clock. Hank Munn can chase these customers out and lock the place up for me." "I don't feel up to it, Jimmie." "Come on. The fresh air'll do you good. The car's outside. I'll be out in two minutes." "You'll take me home afterwards?" Of course, honey. An hour later Jimmie's open-topped roadster swung into a parking space on a promontory high above the majestic Hudson River. The air was cool and fresh, the night dark, and the sky filled with stars. Starling let her head loll back on the thick upholstery and closed her eyes, half dreaming. "Lovely night. . . ." Jimmie was in a romantic, as distinguished from an amorous, mood. "Yes....." Starling murmured, "So beautiful..." Jimmie's arm went about her, and she let her head roll lazily on his shoulder. For a moment she lay pensive, as though sleep. Then she sat up straight again, clasped her hands about her knees, and looked up thoughtfully at the stars. "You're not yourself tonight, Star." The Intimidation Theory in Our Racial Attitudes The eleven prominent citizens of Birmingham who Thursday published a statement deploring "the injury done the cause of law and order" by the shooting of three Negroes taken from the custody of Tuscaloosa deputies are to be congratulated upon the clarity of their vision and their eagerness to place in full view the attitude of the right-minded citizens of Alabama. This group of eleven men, representing as it does the ministry, industry, finance, the law, business and higher education, offers no revelation of a surprising state of mind. Citizens of the type composing this group for generations in the South have felt virtually the same way about racial problems. It is not that they have just this moment come to a sane attitude as the result of shocks produced by the recent outrages in our state. At a polar extreme from the points of view held by the signers of Thursday's statement is the feeling, which also has been cherished for generations, held by quite another level of citizenship in Alabama, as well as throughout most of the South. It is this attitude toward the Negro which represents the kind of anarchy which now and then breaks forth around the lynching tree. Before we can get very far in any constructive action toward bringing this outlaw element into harmony with the elements of civilization, it is necessary that we face the nature of the philosophy which motivates them. These have been fed the wild medicine of "white supremacy" in such doses and over such long period by loud political leaders that their original antagonism toward the Negro—which developed first during slavery days—has been fanned into a white heat at almost every popular election held in Alabama during the last twenty years. Should the final tabulations of guilt in the recent outrages ever be assembled, it probably will be found that the thoughtless politicians who have periodically stirred the deepest passions and most terrible hatred of some of our people ought to be credited with no little CHAPTER IV From the Birmingham (Ala.) Daily News "I'm afraid, Jimmie," she said, "it's love." "Darling-" "No, Jimmie." She smiled at him, amused. "I—I didn't mean you." "Oh!" "I meant," she said slowly, "the only man I'll never be able to get. The only man I'd never be able to hold if I did get him." "That makes it bad. Who is he?" "You know as well as I do." "Rob?" "Of course." "You should have known better, Star." "I did know better. That makes it all the worse. The whole thing was my fault, I admit. I'm willing to take every bit of the blame. But, oh, Jimmie. . ." Jimmie put a comforting arm about her. "Forget Rob Berry," he advised. "Fall in love with someone else." "As if I could!" "Won't you try, Star?" She nodded slowly. "I'll try, Jimmie. . ." Jimmie stepped on the starter of his car. Starling tried to straighten up in her seat, but before she could she found herself in Jimmie's arms, his lips pressed warmly up, hers. The glare of headlights tore them swiftly apart as a car turned off the road behind them onto the promontory. Jimmie hastily backed out of the parking space, his own headlights catching in their sweep the sporty lines of a little black coupe. "Rob!" Starling cried, under her breath. Jimmie whipped the car quickly into the road." "Hope he didn't see us, Star," he said. "I mean—for your sake." "He couldn't have helped it, Jimmie. His headlights were right on us. But it doesn't matter..." "Did you see who was with him in the car?" Jimmie's face was taut as the whistling wind swept about him. "I couldn't tell." "It was Nita Alden," he said grimly. Don't miss the next installments (two chapters) of this thrilling serial. You'll find it on this page next week. ROBBERS STAB MAN WHO WOULDN'T OBEY Refusing to hold up his hands when commanded by two men, Walter Scott, 35, of 214 G Street, Northwest, was stabbed in the left side by one of his assailants at Fifth and L Streets, Northwest Friday. Scott received treatment at Freedmen's Hospital. Upon the description given to officers of the Second Precinct, two suspects were arrested. They gave their names as John Davis, 30, and Henry A. Lyles. Hot Wires Mr. Putonayres—Well, good by! I've got to consult my broker. Friend—Oh, yes? "Stock" or "pawn"? of the responsibility. In Alabama, as elsewhere in the South, the will to lynch springs from the deep, black wells of the philosophy that the Negro must be "controlled," and that the only way to achieve this end is through intimidation. Between the class of people represented by the signers of the Birmingham statement and the class of people who would glory in the deed so solemnly deplored, there exists a tremendous gulf, which has appeared to grow ever wider through the years as environment and inheritance on one side have become increasingly separated from environment and inheritance on the other. Until this gulf is bridged through the extension of sympathetic intelligence, it will do little good for humanitarians in the South and in the North to cast the hot lightning of condemnation across the chasm. For the people who consider Alabama's recent lynchings as a victory for "white supremacy" have been accustomed to condemnation all these many years. They thrive upon condemnation; it strengthens the arm of their determination. Like members of the communistic International Labor Defense they have been suppressed by ill-fortune in an unfriendly world. When their smouldering coals of resentment are fanned by a favorable wind, they break into flame. They make a furious onslaught upon the vested interests of the world—demanding their "rights" with a vengeance. Before we can ever be sure that these outbursts will not recur in Alabama, it will be necessary to provide our people with a leadership of integrity, which will teach them that the Negro is not really their enemy, and that they may attain self-respect in better ways than by a queerulous insistence upon "white control." The indomitable passion and strength of will with which they have tried to maintain their present belief would be contributed by them to any cause pictured to them worthy by a leader whom they respect. It is, therefore, significant that these eleven strong men of Birmingham have asserted themselves. Let us hope that their action marks the beginning of a trustworthy leadership of racial attitudes in Alabama. ELEVEN The Guitar and the Banjo Will another specialty of the Negro slip away from him? It has been said that the only instrument that America can boast of as its own invention is the banjo and that it was invented by a slave by the name of Joe. After stretching the skin and adding strings, Joe exhibited the possibilities of his new instrument to an admiring companion who explained: "It sounds like a band Joe." If this be true, since then many a song of sorrow, of joy, of hope has been crooned and sustained by the soothing harmony of this treated instrument and its sister instrument, the guitar. In a recent Sunday Star appeared an article headed, "The guitar may return after many decades of neglect," by Alice Eversman She says: "The return to America this winter of the greatest living guitarist, Segovia, is of paramount importance at this moment. Various conditions have combined recently to bring again into popular favor that much neglected instrument, the guitar. The announcement of the coming of Segovia, the almost solitary concerting exponent of the guitar, serves to show how rare are the masters of the instrument and what valuable musical literature is being withheld from the enjoyment of the public. "Through the insistence of serious students of the instrument and the guitar literature, it is gradually coming forward, if not to its former place of importance, as least to a more thoughtful consideration as an instrument of musical worth. The vogue of the lighter type of music has increased the study of guitar, and its kin, the mandolin and banjo. There is, therefore, a fertile field for the introduction of the hardcore little known department of cultural music to be found in the classical compositions written especially for the guitar." The early form of the guitar the lute, is often mentioned in Biblical history as used by the Egyptians, Hebrews and early Christians, and was later the favorite instrument of the courts of England, Italy, and Spain, which last country gave us not only the greatest composer of the guitar, Ferdinand Sor, but the present great artist of that instrument, Segovia. The guitar appears to the student of strong music feeling who desires quick results from his effort to learn music and also to the student who wishes to study and demonstrate the possibilities of the instrument in artisite and classical renditions. Says Beechoven: "The guitar is a miniature orchestra in itself." May we, as a group, not be behind in recognizing the real beauty, soothing power and artistic possibilities in these neglected instruments and select for our children, skilled, canable instructors who can demonstrate their real worth. FINDINGS. AMENIA (Continued from page 4) black labor for the larger labor objectives. These objectives can only be attained through a new labor movement. This movement must direct its immediate attention to the organizing of the great mass of workers both skilled and unskilled, white and black. Its activities 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 change in the form of government itself. The conference sees three possibilities: (1) Fascism (2) Communism (3) Reformed Democracy 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 the attitude of white workers on the race question and a change in the Negro's conception of himself as a worker. A democracy that is attempting to reform itself is a fact which has to be reckoned with. In the process of reform, the interests of the Negro cannot be adequately safeguarded by white paternalism in government. It is absolutely indispensable that in this attempt of the government to control agriculture and industry, there be adequate Negro representatives on all boards and field staffs. While the accomplishments of these larger aims cannot be achieved except through the co-operation of white and black, the primary responsibility for the initiation, development and execution of this program rest upon the Negro himself. This is predicated upon the increased economic independence of the Negro. No matter what artificial class differences may seem to exist within the Negro group it must be recognized that all elements of the race must weld themselves together for the common welfare. This point of view must be indoctrinated through the churches, educational institutions and other agencies working in behalf of the Negro. The first steps toward the apprehension between the educated Negro and the Negro mass must be taken by the educated Negro himself. The findings committee recommends that the practical implications of this program be referred to a committee on continuation to be appointed by and at this conference. Female Fans Win Contest--No-Hit Game in Tourney Stewart Hurls Perfect Game as Anacostia Wins: 'Dales Lose Aztecs Are Victims of No-hit Pitching of Southeast Ace in Tournament Game; Georgetown A. C. Smothers Hillsdale in 16-4 Fracas Approximately 6,500 rabid baseball fans, a beautiful day, a perfect diamond, all-star mention and a championship series arranged a perfect setting as Shuffin' Ossie Stewart, of the Anacostia Stewarts (Old Man Stewart's son) trod his lumbering way out to the pitching mound of the Monument Grounds Number 8 diamond, last Sunday afternoon. Nine times he made the trip, each time harder than the last, and nine times he made the return trip to his team's midst on the first-base sideline. When he had accomplished his ninth return tramp he had left behind him—with the same nonchalance that the recent hurricane ignored Washington weather bureau predictions—a no-hit, no-run game. Stewart's performance not only put his team in the win column for its efforts in the series, but it also saved the day for The Washington Tribune Round-Robin Baseball Tournament. The previous game had seen the Georgetown Athletics trounce the Hillsdale A.C. in one of the poorest exhibitions of baseball the huge tournament attendance has had to tolerate.

Georgetown-Hillsdale Playing the most listless baseball of its 1933 campaign, the Hillsdale A.C. went down ingloriously before an inspired Georgetown Athletic machine, in the opening game of last Sunday's proceedings in the Round-Robin Tournament, out of which it is hoped a champion, definite and undisputed, will emerge the curtain is dropped on diamond activities hereabouts. The score was 16-4. Three pitchers, Jimnie Hughes, Marion (Smoke) Levi, and Sam Lacy were proved to be mere "throwers" as the batting power of Ralph (he told me not to call him Doo Dad) Dorsey's west-enders was unleashed in a steady bombardment. On top of a relentless hitting attack Georgetown offered up good flinging and steady support to further indignities upon the failing 'Dales. No single Dorseyman stood out as an individual star, unless it was Ott Butler, who as catcher, handled his pitcher with his characteristic steadiness and hit with a relentless fury. Each of the other players played their parts to perfection and fitted perfectly into a machine which on Sunday was an unbeatable force. Perhaps the greatest disappointment of the game and series to date was the play of Soup Turner, stellar shortstop of the Hillsdale outfit. Turner's four errors coupled with his numerous failures at the bat only added impetus to his team's toboggan. The absence of Runt White, second baseman, and Ernie Johnson, third baseman was also a severe blow to the cause of the LeDroit Parkers. These two stars have returned to Wilberforce University and West Virginia State College, respectively to resume their studies. Anacostia-Aztec Sporting a wide, sweeping curve, a steaming fast ball and a most deceptive change of pace, Ossie Stewart, ace of the Anacostia Athletics' hurling corps, mixed them up with such dexterity that 29 Aztec A.C. batters were completely baffled throughout nine innings of baseball, at the Monument Grounds, last Sunday afternoon. The contest, a Tribune Round-Robin Tournament game, went to the Anacostias, 7-0, the Aztecs failing to hit safely as well as score. Only two men reached the runways safely as the lanky Athletic hurler turned back hitter after hitter. Lang, catcher, and Brown, first baseman, each saw the light once. The former got on base via a three-base error by Goose Duckett, in right field, the latter by virtue of a base-on-balls, the only free pass issued by Stewart. Meanwhile 14 hits were garnered off the offerings of Lefty Garland, diminutive Aztec portsideer, three of which were to the credit of Pete Tate, Anacostia center fielder. Only Smokie Green, Southeast second baseman, failed to connect safely at least once. No criticism can be heaped upon the losing Aztec outfit, which played superb ball in the face of Stewart's even more superb pitching. Afield, the vanquished players were outstanding. The three errors charged against them were the result of noble efforts to handle chances that were not of the ordinary variety.

That's what the Hampton Pirates have on their minds as they busily prepare their ship for a nine-game plundering voyage that would tax the strength of any group of men. In an effort to be ready when Captain Heavy Rivers calls for them, the boys are merrily going through rounds of strenuous activity every day—running, kicking, passing, and above all, exercising, blocking, and tackling. Last year, though favored to run away with the miniature gold footballs that are awarded each year to the C.I.A.A. champs, the Ironmen were badly bent and shoved back into third place. Now, with a vengeance that is true only of real athletes, they are determined that if they don't come out on top, the team that does win will be well worthy of the title. The coaches, Gid Smith and his assistant, Buck Neilson, who believe in plenty of action rather than too much talking, predict that the first production of buccaneers will come out somewhere among the first ten of the Association. Ebenezans in Grid Sessions; Plan Entertainment Practice of the Ebenezer A.C. gridders is held each evening at First Street and Virginia Avenue, Southeast. Old members who have not yet attended their initial workout are urged to report at their earliest convenience, and new candidates are assured a hearty welcome. A "Court of Pleasure" is the entertainment to be offered friends of the club who attend the get-together at 1018 First Street, Southeast, tomorrow (Friday) night. SemiPro Eleven Going Through Strenuous Paces The Washington Yellowjackets, newly organized semi-professional football team of this city, is working out daily under the direction of Coach Lee. The Yellowjackets, so-called after three years of successful campaignings as the Pleasant Plains A.C., are promising the capital something new in the matter of gridiron sport. For information about the new club call or write Duckey Kemp, Decatur 2360-R, 112 Q Street, Northwest. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1933 DIAMOND RIVALS CLASH SATURDAY IN ANACOSTIA DIAMOND RIVALS CLASH SATURDAY IN ANACOSTIA Hillsdales Meet the Royals in Grudge Game; 'Dales Have New Blood Intense rivalry will prevail when the Hillsdale A.C. takes on the Washington Royals in a single contest at the Anacostia Grounds, Saturday afternoon. The contest is slated to get under way at sharp 3 o'clock. Followers of both teams were anticipating the pleasure of seeing these two outfits from neighboring communities of Le Droit Park clash as members of the Washington Tribune Round-Robin Tournament, but a last minute withdrawal of the Royals rendered that impossible. However, the management of the 'Dales was approached with a challenge from the royal bosses, just before the final Hillsdale tournament game, and accented the issue. The Hillsdales and Royals have been friendly enemies for the past several years, each feeling that the other was inferior in the matter of diamond prowess. The latter, until this year had operated as the Pleasant Plains A.C. The Saturday game will give local fans the opportunity of seeing the two latest acquisitions of the 'Dales in action. Bill Fauntroy, recently acquired outfielder, will make his initial appearance in the livery of the Hillsdales, while Toots Brown, who spent the 1932 season as a member of the Le Droit Parkers, will make his return to the fold. Fauntroy, the outstanding center, fielder of the city, was until recently a member of the Le Droit Tigers. A misunderstanding between the Jungalerie management and Brown and him, however, resulted in his demanding his release from that outfit. BISONS IN FIRST GRID DRILL TODAY With most of the forward line gone, by way of graduation Howard University football aspirants returned for the beginning of training today (Thursday). Last year's co-captains, Payton and Greenlee, will be missed in tackle and the end positions loom up in need of replacement. The strongest line position seems to be the center with two of last year's regulars returning to continue their fight for the first team. However, indications point to a determined fight by a number of big men for the guard and tackle positions on the team. Howard's football team will probably have a stronger reserve line during the approaching football season than has been the case in years. Certain it is that the coaching staff will be made happy by a number of men just under two hundred pounds who have sent word that they will be on the line at the first call this season. Last year Howard had only one quarterback whom it has lost by graduation. The coaches will be considerably puzzled to discover some one to fill that position. They will seek to solve the problem by shifting one of last year's regulars to the signal-calling job in the hope that out of the new material there will emerge enough good men to make up the rest of the ball carriers. The season opens October 14 with St. Paul at Howard. This game will probably prove a thriller as it was last year when Howard won by one point. Tigers Finish Second Week of Training; Silvey to Play TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. —Tuskegee's Golden Tigers, more than a hundred strong, will close their second week of practice here Saturday. The search for good kickers and passers and pass receivers continues. The coaches' selection for these places has not been made, but Edward Adams and Raymond Johnson, both seniors, seem to be the most eligible candidates at this time. Ben McKinney, senior, rated as one of the best tackles in collegiate circles, is rounding into condition and should be in excellent shape for the first game on the schedule. Doctor Dibble's decision to permit Rozelle Silvey to play this season has gladdened the heart of the coach. This ripping, slashing, twisting, whirling senior, a star in every game during 1931, is showing marked improvement and should reach the heights this year. Arlington Athletics to Play Hosts to Hillsdale Nine The Hillsdale A.C. nine has been booked to play the Arlington Athletics on the latter's diamond, Sunday afternoon. Only one game will be played, beginning at 1:30 o'clock. Local Diamond Stars Teamed to Play Black Sox and Dixie Pigs Local Diamond Stars Teamed to Play Black Sox and Dixie Pigs Bevy of Sandlot Celebrities Named on Outfit for Two Big Games; Colored Professional and White Semi-pro Teams to Furnish Opposition Big Doug Smith, erstwhile baseball promoter and business man of this city, has gathered together a galaxy of stars of the national capital's sandlot and organized them into an outfit to be known as the Washington All-Stars for the purpose of giving local fandom a glimpse of its baseball talent in action. Such an opportunity to see the cream of the city's diamond material under fire will be afforded by matches with the Baltimore Black Sox, colored professional team, and the Dixie Pigs, white semi-pro champions of the District. An Historical Outline of Football THE GAME FROM GRECIAN TIMES TO ITS AMERICAN DEBUT The game with the Black Sox is slated for the beautiful, picturesque Green Valley Park, Arlington, Va., Saturday, September 30. The contest with the white Dixie Pig aggregation will be played on the grounds at Colesville, Md., Sunday, October 1. Inability to get the American League Baseball Park for these dates necessitated the booking of the games on these suburban sites. Sam Lacy, manager of the Hillsdales, popular sandlot club of this city, and sports editor of The Washington Tribune, has been engaged by Mr. Smith to pilot the All-Stars. He has been given the very best material local and nearby Maryland and Virginia diamonds can offer to work with. No player of outstanding merit was left off the list given Lacy to choose from. The list was compiled by Mr. Smith with the assistance of Charles (Flash) Robeson, prominent local By J. 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 previous issues of The Washington Triune. He graduated from Armstrong in 1923 and from Harvard College in 1925. He began his teaching career at Francis Junior High School in 1927. In 1928, he was promoted to his position, succeeding gite late Isaac Miller, who served as the executive Kelly Miller, of Howard University. THIRD INSTALLMENT We may not pause to tell of the many brave happenings in those early games, but it is worth noting that John Dryden, William Cooper, Joseph Addison and other later "greats" played the game of their day with courage and skill. A great game was played in 1815 by men of Etrick against men at Yarrow. It was won by the former, led by the sheriff, who was none other than Sir Walter Scott. Definite governing rules began to come into the court in the 17th Century. By this time all the larger preparatory schools of England were playing regularly, but each in its own way. Thus at Westminster, the boys playing in the cloister of the abbey, found the stone walks unit for running with the ball and tackling, therefore no touching of the ball was permitted but only kicking. This gave rise to the association or soccer game. At Rugby, however, they had a large turf field, and there it was that the Rugby game we now play originated. At this point we may pause to note that both games are still played extensively in England. In the United States, soccer was taken up first, but as Rugby has proved an hundredfold more popular, we will confine our review to the latter. Now, carrying or running with the ball is the very heart and soul of Rugby, wherefore it it altogether meet that we inquire how this feature came into the game. On a certain day in November, 1823, around a hundred boys lined up at Rugby. Play automatically stops when the school bell strikes five. It is now within a few seconds of that time and neither side has scored. A long punt sails down the field and heads straight for a sturdy lad of eighteen. By a desperate effort, Ellis catches the ball before it strikes the ground. Carrying the ball being considered "not as the game," Ellis's opponents expect him to "faircatch" and try for a field goal. Instead, the harried lad, desperate over the tie score, and even as the clock sounds the first stroke of five, tucks the ball under his arm, swings instantly into a fierce charge and, by dodging, ramming, stiff arming, and furious running, fights himself free from every opponent and plants the ball across the rival goal line. Then and there was born the ancestor for the Rugby game we play today. Endless discussion followed, never before had such a thing been done. By many, young Ellis was roundly scored, by equally as many was he lauded. Those who censured, continued to play the old game while those who approved, henceforth played "Rugby," and revealed in the running game. Set in an ivy covered wall at Rugby is a tablet. It reads: baseball authority. The line-up from which Lacy is directed to pick his starting players consists of the following: Cleo Smith and Davis, of the LeDroit Tigers; Ashford, Whitlock and Frazier, of Georgetown Athletics; Berry and Stewart, of Anacostia; Fauntroy, Williams, Black, Bland and Turner, of the Hillsdales; Armstrong, Robinson and Jackson, of the Washington Royals; Scott, of the Black Barons; Boston, of Colesville; Hill, of Sandy Springs; Lancaster, of Colesville; Lefty Smith, of the Oriental;s; Bob Carter, of Huntsville; Harris, of Aztecs; and Bailey and T. Moore, of the Virginia Quicksteps. Both games are scheduled to get under way at sharp 3 o'clock. Two games well worth the trips to the scenes of action are promised for the dates mentioned. THIS STONE COMMEMORATES THE EXPLOIT OF WILLIAM WEBB ELLIS Who with a Fine Disregard of the Rules of Football as Played in His Time First Took the Ball in his Arms Ran with it Thus Originating the Distinctive Feature of the Rugby Game A.D. 1823 The first intercollegiate football game in history was played in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1869, for, strange to say, the great English universities did not meet in a match until 1872. The first American game was played by teams of 25 men each, and the final score was Rutgers 6 goals, Princeton 4 goals. The game was essentially soccer. A few college matches, all soccer, were played in the ensuing five years; but in 1874, McGill University, of Montreal, played Harvard at Cambridge two games. The first was under Harvard's rules (soccer) and was won by Harvard. The second was under McGill rules (Rugby) and resulted in a tie. The second match (May 15, 1874) was the first game of Rugby ever played in the United States. From this time on, Harvard was widely in favor of the Rugby rules and had no peace—nor gave anybody else any—until other American colleges agreed to play under the Rugby regulations. Famous Dixie Kid Near Death in Fall LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ANP)—Aaron Brown, noted pilgrist known to the sporting world as "Dixie Kid," was critically injured when he fell from the second story of a hotel here, Wednesday. He is not expected to live. He suffered broken ribs, a broken arm, and internal injuries. The glamorous fighter of years gone by lived in a dingy hotel room near the railroad yards. Police found several newspaper clippings, dog-eared and yellow with age among his earthly possessions. They told of his pugilistic exploits. How he had won the weltelweight championship in 1904 in San Francisco in a 20-round bout with Joe Walcott. Those worn newspaper clippings were his prize possessions. They told the story of the man he once was. He had risen to the heights, had been cheered by the howling mob of fight fans, and had fallen in the gutter outside his hotel. (1-2-3)—606, 133, 611, 929, 585. (5-7)—231, 040, 519, 312, 616. Best bet—585. [1-2-3]—606, 133, 611, 929, 585. (5-7)—231, 040, 519, 312, 616. Best bet—585. ANACOSTIA SEEKS FOUR-CORNER TIE IN TOURNEY Double Win Over Georgetown Would Make East-Enders Stars of Series The Anacostia Athletics have the opportunity of bringing the Washington Tribune's Round-Robin Baseball Tournament into a four-cornered tie when they tackle the fast traveling Georgetown Athletics on the Anacostia Grounds, Sunday. A double victory over the west-end aggregation, which has won three games to date and lost only one, would leave each of the four teams of the tournament with a record of three games lost and three games won. The Aztecs and Hillsdales who have finished their schedules already have such a record. Manager Ralph (I'm not supposed to call him Doo Dad) Dorsey contemplates stopping the threatening boys from across the Eastern Branch, and is bending every effort toward that end. One victory for his team would mean the end of the tournament and the city championship. The result of the other game would have no effect upon the final outcome. But Lil Brooks, pilot of the Anacostians, has other plans in view, and is nominating his two pitching aces, Eddie (Chink) Berry and Shufflin' Ossie Stewart to carry them out. Brooks feels that with his rejuvenated line-up, he stands an excellent chance of upsetting the hope bucket of the Dorseyites. Come what may, baseball of the very highest calibre is in store for the gigantic crowd that is expected to turn out to witness the proceedings. Dorsey will probably call on Bus Frazier, his ace, and either Coates or McKinnon to oppose the star Anacostia moundsmen. UNION GRIDDERS BEGIN TRAINING UNION GRIDDERS BEGIN TRAINING RICHMOND, Va.—Coach Henry B. Hucles began work on the Virginia Union University Panthers this week in preparation for the coming grid season. The Panthers are fortunate in having ten letter men in this year's squad, including Williams, Gadsden, Lathan, Poole, Wingree, Arrington and other veterans of former years. Lloyd Gut Williams is captain of the Panther eleven and is aided by Harry Fatso Gadsden as co-captain. Prospects for the coming season seem as bright as preceding years. The squad has had the advantage of one week of preliminary practice prior to the opening of school. While one week is not a long period for training, it does mark a precedent in practice at Union. The first game is to be in Greenboro, N. C., on the 29th of September with A. & T. College. Only one week later, Union will clash with Lincoln at Richmond Oct. 7. Colesville Tigers Offer Bargain Attraction for Sunday A double-header will be in store for those fans who journey to the diamond at Colesville, Md., Sunday.

Commerce, swung the tide of victory in her favor in the Departmental League selections. In this contest Mrs. Mack was also a most capable chooser, being defeated by the slimmest of margins; both young ladies had one choice wrong, the former picking Reggie Williams, of Treasury, as one of her pitchers, and the latter choosing Brown as her right fielder. After considering each phase and condition of the contest, The Tribune concluded that in as much as she made the most difficult of the two choices, Miss Sneed deserved first honors. In every other case, save these respective flaws, the two contestants were absolutely correct. The winners will receive two tickets cach to the Howard Bison's football opening mentioned above, and if plans for the proposed testimonial luncheon to be tendered the winning team in The Tribune Round-Robin Baseball Tournament materialize, the two young ladies will be invited to serve as guests of honor and sponsors of the occasion. Alabama State Mentors Seek Capable Successors to Stars MONTGOMERY, Ala.—A guard to replace the All-American William Coger lost in graduation, a tackle to replace the All-American Harry Lash not in school, a center to replace the veteran Bill Parker apparently lost by illness, a quarterback to replace the versatile All-Southern Severe Frazier lost via graduation and a backfill to replace the plunging Captain Hobson lost via graduation were the chief worries of the Alabama State Teachers College mentors as they eyed their forty-eight aspirants who donned moleks during the opening week of practice.

SPORTING HUNTSVILLE DROPS Vienna Elks Drop Pair to Colesville Tigers Nine ROUND ROBIN TOURNAMENT HUNTSVILLE DROPS SERIES OPENER TO LeDROITS Hurling Battle Brought to End when Carter's Support Collapses POMPHRET, Md.—The LeDroit Tigers, augmented by two members of the Washington Royals baseball club, turned back the Huntsville Giants in the opening game of their scheduled three-game series, here, last Sunday afternoon, 7 to 1. Until late in the game, the affair was a pitching duel between Evie fries, LeDroit ace, and Bob Carter, southpaw star of the Mary-angers. It was not until the eighth inning that the Tigers were able to pull away from a 1-1 deadlock which had existed since the sixth inning when they were able to match a single score counted by the Huntsvilleans in their half of the fifth frame. It was in these final two innings, however, that Carter's defense crumpled and five of seven errors committed by them during the game occurred. The Washington outfit played errorless ball behind the six-hit pitching of their rangy light hander. Eight safeties were offered on the offerings of Carrier. Jelly Jackson and Jazz Coleman, two mainstays of the Washington orals, made up the right side of the Tiger infield, playing second and first base, respectively.

The scores were 8-2 and 4-3. The opening affair was not much of a battle, the Colesvilleans going out on top with a 15-hit attack, while Burton was holding the visitors to four hits. The night-cap was a tighter contest in which both Brown, of the losers, and Johnson, of the winners, were in top form.

Hebron, ace of the hurling staff on the mound, trounced the Rajah-DePriest nine in a one-sided game on the former's diamond here, last Sunday afternoon. The score was 15-6. Twenty hits rained off the bats of the winners as the Washington suburbanites took one of the most severe laicings of the season. Of the total, Hebron's four made him the chief offender. The crafty Odd Sox moundsman was in rare form, striking out 18 would-be hitters, and giving up only eight scattered safeties. The win was the seventh straight for the Marylanders. MD.

(Double-header, 1 p.m., at Anacostia Park Diamond.) Meeting of Wash. All-Stars Called for Monday Players named for the Washington All Stars for the proposed series between that aggregation and the Baltimore Black Sox and Dixie Pigs will meet at the office of The Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, Northwest, at 8 o'clock p.m., Monday night. The meeting is for the purpose of entering into an agreement between the players and the promoters. Business of decided importance to both the management and individuals concerned will also be discussed. The names of the players thus wanted will be found elsewhere on this page. Mr. Smith, promoter of the affair, is extremely anxious that the meeting be well attended. Jegro Arbiters to Handle All-Star Games The Washington Tribune sports department has been sought as the medium through which baseball fans of Washington and nearby communities are to be assu- that the use of white umpires in the proposed Black Sox-Washington All-Star and Dixie Pig-Washington All-Star games will not be used. Doug Smith, in charge of the promotion of the games, has made it known that capable Negro officials will be in charge of the two games mentioned above. He insists that he had nothing whatever to do with the naming of white arbiters for the two games in which color- empires were overlooked when played at Griffin Stadium during the current season.

Federal League Basketers to Hold Meet and Eat According to announcements coming from Chick Webb, president of the Federal Basketball League, an important meeting will be held at the residence of Tommy Jeter 1510 Thirteenth Street, Northwest Friday night, at 7:30 o'clock. Election of officers for the ensuing year will be the chief object of the get-together. Each of the six charter teams have been urged to have representatives and invitations have been sent to the Department of Justice, the Department of Agriculture, the Tariff Commission, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in the hope that these departments will feel the urge to enroll for the 1933-34 basketball season. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1933 Sam's Scripts Two weeks ago, Ossie Stewart, ace of the Anacostia Athletics pitching staff, went out on the mound against the Aztec A.C. and struck out 17 batters only to lose the decision because of faulty support on the part of his infielders. Last Sunday Stewart, who had come to the conclusion that no-hit pitching was about the only thing that would satisfy the whims of his shaky teammates, went out on the mound against the Aztec A.C. and handed 28 goose-eggs to 29 would-be batters for the 9 innings of play. The other hitting aspirant was fortunate enough to receive a base-on-balls. Box-scores, training data and other advance publicity shows old Pop Football to be knocking at the door, but the prospects of seeing another world's series after 8 years urges a baseball-mad Capital City to drop the night-latch and hide the key in the pocket of the moth-eaten racoon Well, yours truly batted .500 in his effort to pick a flawless all-star team for the 1933 independent season, if the occurrences of Sunday are to be taken as examples of the merits of the men chosen Ott Butler, Georgetown catcher, tried his darndest to make the writer look bad by receiving and batting with his old time vigor, as did Soup Turner with his miserable play affold and at bat and Ben Ashford with his failure to show anything noteworthy v a't the plate. But for these three "busts" on my part (in this one game) your correspondent had an equal number of vindicators. The efforts of Dave Whitlock at first base, of Barty Black behind the bat and at bat, and of Ossie Stewart on the slab were magnificent. Think I'll try to get my Thanksgiving dinner from among the five turkeys the Hillsdale A.C. intends to raffle off next month. Gosh! as hard as times are I think I'd take chances on a buzzard for dinner if I could get one for a quarter. 'Sfunny how the business of picking all-star teams can acquire enemies for the individuals who attempts to do so. A day full of wise-cracks, dumb-cracks and quack-cracks, last Sunday, was climaxed by one of the nastiest looks of which the writer has been the recipient in many moons. The donor was none other than a youngster who evidently felt slighted because he was not mentioned in the selections. An average fielder, the player in question has gotten two hits to my knowledge as his offensive contribution to his team's 1933 season. Is that a laugh, huh. I ask you is that a laugh? Tom (Rabbit) Payne, one of the greatest catchers in the history of sandlot baseball in the District, has had another tough break. This time it's a leg. He's at Emergency Hospital. The hours?

Mr. Osteinkamp, of WOL, states that he is very much pleased with the performance of this quartet and has included it among the remaining participants after the inauguration of the Amalgamated Broadcasting Company, but the quartet will be heard only locally. Beginning September 30, the Dixie Reveries will be heard at 7:30 p.m., instead of 6:45. The Seventy-first Anniversary of the Emancipation of the American Negro will be commemorated in a special broadcast tomorrow (Friday) night from 8:15 to 8:30 over the Columbia network. Daniel C.

The program will originate in the Washington studios. ***** Paul Robeson, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Ethel Waters, and Jules Bledsoe were among the leading stage and radio personalities who welcomed Paul Whiteman and his orchestra at the Savoy Ballroom in New York last Saturday night. The "John Henry—Black River Giant" series of Roarke Bradford's book of that name ended last Sunday evening with the death of the conjure woman, Jenny. This program has been an entertaining one since the first part of the year and the role of John Henry, portrayed by Juano Hernandez, was really creditable. The supporting cast is worthy of honorable mention also. Let us have more dramatizations by them. By the way, Juano Hernandez better known as "John Henry," will appear in person on the stage of the Howard for a week beginning this Saturday. It might be of interest to know that he is co-author with Geraldine Garrick, of the script in which he played the title role. "Harlem Serenade," a new feature which became last Sunday night, is a sustainable feature over Columbia that should be heard each Sunday evening. Ten selections in thirty minutes, with time out for station announcements is really going, but that is just what Claude Hopkins's orchestra with Orlando Robeson, soloist, and the Hall Johnson Singers did on their first program. The orchestra rendered a pleasing arrangement of "California, Here I Come." Eastern Daylight Savings Time will end after Saturday, the 23rd. Sunday, the programs begin one hour later for us, "March of Time" begins October 13. The Mills Brothers and Don Redmon's orchestra are scheduled for Loew's Paradise in the Bronx on the 15th and Locw's Theatre in Providence, R.L. the week of the 22nd. "The S outhernaires aren't superstitious but after four years of success they still reapere in the hall where they organized. That is in the basement of the Williams Institutional C.M.E. Church in the heart of Harlem. It was in this church in 1929 that the Southernaires made their first public appearance one Sunday afternoon," says the press agent for N.B.C. "St. Louis Blues," an unusual and original radio play, was presented last Monday night over WJSV. There were descriptions of several highly imaginative conditions such as an airplane pilot who had to jump from his stalled plane, a wreck of two cloppers, a dying man in Africa, while the orchestra, directed by Duke Henderson in a Harlem night club, played the "St. Louis Blues" over the various radios. The action was spotted in disconnected and dramatic episodes and was quite realistic. Throughout the half hour the "St. Louis Blues," grandfather of the blues songs, was heard. All of the participants on this program were white. LUCKY NUMBERS ALL STRAIGHT ONLY Two fast numbers for next week and ready to hit in your city. Send two 3e stamps for workout done now.

REPUBLIC A LICHTMAN THEATRE The Old Man of the Mountain A Flaming Bit of Heated Harlem Harmony WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 27-28 A TRUE PICTURE OF AMERICAN SPIRIT THREE CORNERED MOON You'll see yourself living as you have for the last two years —STARRING— RICHARD ARLEN — CLAUDETTE COLBERT Adults, 15¢ Before 6 o'clock — 25¢ After 6 o'clock Children, 10¢ At All Times Theatricly Speaking! With ANDY ANDERSON "John Henry," famed "Black River Giant," of legend and myth as portrayed over the network of the Columbia Broadcasting System during the past six months, will appear on the stage of the Howard Theatre, in person, beginning Saturday. Herein lies a rare treat for theatrical patrons, and one which is certain to bring crowds, "John Henry," with his booming voice, and his typically Negro slang, local to both the South and Hazlem, is none other than Juan Hernando, of West Indian extraction, an artist of rare ability. This will be the first stage appearance of the Black River Giant, since his introduction to the radio audiences and is made possible through the courtesy of the CBS. In order that the fans who have heard the radio performances, may see him in person the "John Henry" stories ended on last Sunday night, and he now goes on tour. Washington gets him first out. Fess Williams and his Royal Flush Orchestra held the spot this week at the Howard, which incidentally secures to be the only local house which will continue stage shows throughout the year. The genial A. E. Lichtman advised Your Man Anderson this week that he may bring back stage shows to the Lincoln, but it was not definitely certain even to him. About Fess Williams, Your Man ought to tell you that Fess, who is one of the most modest and unassuming bandmasters he ha ever met, hails from the State of Kentucky, home of good beverages. Fess graduated from Tuskegee (take a bow, Fess), in 1914, and then returned to Kentucky where he taught school for three years. This, however, didn't satisfy the young man, who was already a master clarinetist, and so he went into a buddle with himself on the ten yard line, REPU A LICHTMA FRIDAY-TUESDAY and after working out a formation he emerged into the light holding down the important post of music-maker at the just-begin Savoy Ballroom in Harlem (if you ever heard of it before). For three solid years, Fess presided over the orchestral destinies of this young dance emporium with a very fine aggregation of young musicians, most of whom are still with him. In case you didn't know it, it was the originality of ideas which Fess injected into the Savoy, which made possible its living, for it was he, who started the Annual Bathing Beauty Contest, for which the Savoy is the national mecca each year for our dusky beauties. He brought in so many new ideas that the house was kept in a lively state all the time, and in popularity it rated first in Harlem. Thusly it was Fess Williams who put it on its feet, and in tribute to the modest maestro, the Savoy, for years, held an annual "Fess Williams Night." Fess and Fletcher Henderson were the first two Negro band leaders who broke into the airlines. Just this summer Fess held a six month spot on KMOX St. Louis, being featured from one of the leading white hotels there, via CBS. In his category Duke rates the ace spot of Negro band organizations, followed by Cab Calloway, "because of Cab's salesmanship and the Mills-Rockwell influence." The third best Negro unit, says Fess, is that of Fletcher Henderson, on pure musical strength. Don Redmon would fit into the next spot. And never once does Fess mention his own band, but you have only to hear his boys tune out the melodious harmony in that old number "The Sheik," and without any ado, you immediately rate the Fessor a place in anybody's musical Sun, yes sir! His new arrangement of "The Shiek" is nothing short of marvelous, with its rich blending of that THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1933 Sponsors Midnite Show A. E. Manager of the Howard Theatre who will sponsor a midnight show at the theatre Friday night for benefit of the James Reese Europe Post, American Legion. "low down" Harlem rhythm, injected here and there with snappy hot stuff, and punctuated with interspersed bits of vocal religion by a trumpet player, who insists on sending "The Sheik" through all of his anties, and romantic strayings "with no clothes on." The reason for your failure to hear more of Fess is because of his modesty; he hires no highpowered press agent, but just goes on making music, and what music! He feels that the radio ocers the greatest chance in the world to gain fame, and substantial contracts . . . if there are any more of those left. Supporting Fess are Al Moire and Adell Williams who form a new dance team, with Miss Williams in a most effective manner supplanting Fred Washington, as Mr. Moire's partner. The net, Your Man thinks, has really gained a bit by the change, and that's saying something for Freddy Washington is a marvelous adagio dancer. Miss Williams is tremendously good. Al is himself, and that's plenty. The greatest songbird of the eastern stage, barring Ethel Waters appeared on the bill; the silver vowed Minto Cato, whose presence on any bill makes one sure of splendid entertainment. Your Man has long sought a word to describe the alluring fute-like voice of Minto Cato, to tell of that indelible rare quality in her tones, but so far Your Man is still searching. The amiable George Wiltshire served as master of ceremonies. By the way, Your Man thinks it tim to properly appreciate Mr. Wiltshire in this role. George is a clever, quick-witted lad, and seldom does any situation come up on the stage which he cannot master. He is a witty talker, entertaining, and rather satire. We can see why he is at the Howard so often. The dance of the Two Turpins went over nicely; Sandy Burns and Jadzob Williams in the burnt cork roles were good, while the soubrette, a nifty looking piece of brown beauty, whom you all know was Helen Stewart, who worked the Club Prudhom last year. Helen was more stunning than wt have ever seen her, and if she can possibly put a little more strength into her voice, she will be a welcome addition to any bill. You Man heard her from the back row, it wasn't so loud. Manager George Clarke of the Lincoln announced that a preview showing of the newest thing done with Negro talent was held at his house recently. It was Paul Robeson in "Emperor Jones," and Mr. Clarke declares that it will revolutionize the industry towards race talent. It is scheduled o come to the Lincoln within five weeks. By the way, Mr. Clarke, Your Man Anderson can appreciate those things better if advised in advance about these previews . why not! Lionel Barrymore, "The Stranger's STRAND THE FILM "THE MASTER OF THE MASTER" BY ROBERT B. MAYER AND JOHN B. MAYER. A scene from the picture "Bureau of Missing Persons," which features Bette Davis and Lewis Stone. Return" at the Lincoln, was a radical departure from the usual type of story done by him, and it is simple yet powerful drama, and feeling will touch you, even if you are "fed up" on the usual Barrymore style, because it's different. Manager Charles Burton of the Raphael was the subject of an operation last Tuesday night. Some enterprising young burglar (name known) broke into the office of the theatre and after diagnosing the situation, made an excraction, the sum being fifteen dollars from Mr. Burton's strong box, which the young Fagan ripped apart with a chisel. He left no return address, nor any calling card, but took the fifteen and did what is generally termed as "seramed." that features Loretta Young and Franchot Tone in strongly emotional roles. Tense drama enters the picture during many scenes as the gangsters try to force Miss Young to follow their orders through spectacular hold-ups. Speed, thrills and surprise climaxes are the distinguishing features of "The Phantom Broadcast," the new feature which will be shown at the Republic Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday, September 27 and 28. Interest in the story centers around Grant Murdock, radio sensation of the moment, whose success is based on fraud. Norman Wilder, hunchback accompanist, secretly does Murdock's singing for him. Wilder reaps rich money By the way, Your Man ventured to watch "It's Great to Be Alive," a farce on a gentleman loved by over 400 million women—because "he was the last living man on earth." The funny thing about this flicker, to some of us, is this; all other men died from a dread malady known as "masculitis." . . . Sure, that's funny, for frequently we run acers gentmen who seem to be afflicted with "feminitis" . . . but "masculitis" took its toll, and left only one man living on earth, and Your Man, personally knows about three hundred thousand men who would give anything for a chance like that . . . including himself. "Pilgrimage" is in line for the Raphael. It's a Wylie story. In signing off, a word about Louis Garges “Wunder Bar,” the beer garden in the Temple. Doc Perry of the Tennessee Berrys holds the spot with his orchestra. Hobby Chapman is the Master of Ceremonies, and has assembled a nice group (although small) of entertainers, who make a visit to the Garden a pleasant one. The place is becoming a sort of rendezvous for local folk, with all of the town's beauties, better known and otherwise dropping in regularly. Your Man Anderson is getting the habit too, 'cause so of 'nose faces are mighty good to look at, however, this is no place to get personal, so I'll be oe. PHANTOM BROADCAST AND MIDNIGHT MARY AT THE REPUBLIC A thrilling glimpse of America's smartest crooks in operation is to be seen in "Midnight Mary," drama of the upper-underworld, which is to open a five-day engagement on Friday, September 22, at the Republic Theatre.

Interest in the story centers around Grant Murdock, radio sensation of the moment, whose success is based on fraud. Norman Wilder, hunchback accompanist, secretly does Murdock's singing for him. Wilder reaps rich monetary rewards, and is content to hold silence until Murdock's attention centers upon Laura Hamilton, who represents an ideal to Wilder. The climax brought about by this clash of wills, will supply a surprising finish that will bring enthusiastic response from any audience. Principals in the cast are Ralph Forbes, Vivienne Osborne, Paul Page, Arnold Gray, and others. JACK HOLT, MUSE AND CAB CALLOWAY ON LINCOLN SCREEN Lincoln Theatre patrons will have the treat of seeing the new season's first three-star program at the Lincoln, Friday to Tuesday, September 22 to 26, in which Jack Holt, that two-fisted he-man, will appear in "The Wrecker." Through his dynamite personality and superiority of his fellowman, he gets everything that he desires—a tremendous business, a beautiful wife, and influential friends. Then comes the crash, and he is a broken man. This picture promises every imaginable thrill and portrays Jack Holt at his best. The old favorite, Cab Calloway appears in the great number, "Old Man of the Mountain," a "Cab" hit. In "Kingo," Clarence Muse is featured singing his own sensational song hit. Supervisor Byars says, by all means see the new season's first three-star program. In "Old Man of the Mountain" THE NEW YORK TIMES CAB CALLOWAY He is not generally associated with old men, but the crown prince of Hi-De-Ho will appear in "Old Man of the Mountain," a picture which comes to the Lincoln Theatre beginning Friday until Tuesday. Cab gives a bit of flaming Harlem in several scenes depicted. BIG TRIPLE BILL COMES TO THE HOWARD FOR THE WEEK winning Saturday, the Howard theatre presents one of radio's greatest characters, John Henry, known as the "Black River Giant," who will make his first appearance on any Washington stage. Until last week, the "John Henry" skits were heard over WJJSV every Sunday, and are known as the best colored sketches on the radio. Since January 15, John Henry has become celebrated in the radio world for his fine presentations. The New York Sun said of the play "It's the best program on the air." The Radio Guide raved, "Thoroughly American, Brilliantly performed." Baron Lee with his pleasing personality, directing the famous Hardy Brothers Band, surrounded by one of the snappest stage shows of the year, will also be a stage offering. On the screen "Bureau o. Missing Persons," starring Bette Davis and Lewis Stone, is a most thrilling talking picture. Every scene is based on actual facts. The regular midnite show will be given on Friday. The proceeds of this show will be donated to the James Reese Europe Post No. 5 of the American Legion. This is to help them to the world's Fair in Chicago, where all the legionaires will compete for national supremacy. Amateur nights, Wednesday and Friday.

Raph Morgan, veteran of the stage and screen; Alexander Kirkland, whose name has graced a great number of successes; Boots Mallory and Irene Ware, two newcomers who are well on their way to stardom, head the cast for the film. The locale of the story involves the contrasting environment of the very poor and the very rich. "F. P. 1" The importance of "F. P. 1," the new Erich Pommer production presented by Fox Film, is attested by the fact that it was produced in three different languages, and released simultaneously in the United States, the British Isles and in almost every country on the Continent. Its theme is based on the possibility of erecting an artificial island in mid-Atlantic to serve as a permanent landing field for ocean fliers. Shown three days, September 25 to 27. In their fifth film together since their memorable performance in "Bad Girl," James and Sally Eilers have the stellar roles in "Hold Me Tight," the new romantic drama from Fox, offered at the Raphael September 28 and 29. Cast as two young lovers in the midst of the metropolis and its attendant snares, these two popular young players have the type of characterizations for which they have become known as one of the screen's outstanding teams. THREE CORNERED MOON WITH COLBERT AND ARLEN IS GOOD Who among us ever would have thought that the depression would be something to laugh at; something that would erase the worries from our tired brows; something that would delight us beyond words. Such is the case, however, proof of which will be offered Wednesday and Thursday, September 27 and 28, at the Lincoln Theatre, when "Three-Cornered Moon" will be shown. Here's the most distinguished family that ever kept you laughing: Claudette Colbert, Mary Bolland, Tom Brown, William Bake- well and Wallace Ford. Then Richard Arlen is the doctor-boarder, and Hardie Albright, the author sponger, and Joan Marsh, the girl who runs the boys ragged. They're all disgustingly wealthy and nutty, but in a whisk of a market's move the Rimplegars, for such is the awe-inspiring family name, go broke. Richard Arlen is the sobering influence in this wild harum-scarum family, and appears more attractive than usual, as he makes love to the bewitchingly beautiful Claude Colbert. As a play, "Three-Cornered Moon" was one of the hits of Broadway, and you too will enjoy it more than anything you have seen in many moons. BROADWAY 1517 7th ST., N.W.
