Alleged Attacker Dragged Through Main Street and Burned
PRINCESS ANNE, Md.—In one of the wildest lynching orgies the state has ever witnessed, a frenzied mob of 3,000 men, women and children, sneering at guns and tear gas, overpowered 25 state troopers, tore George Armwood, 35, from his cell, Wednesday night, lynched him, and then burned his body.
Armwood was accused of attacking an elderly white woman. He had been brought back from Baltimore, where he was taken on Monday night following threats of violence. County authorities assured the governor there would be no trouble in face of the gathering of the menacing crowds.
Judge Asks Mercy
After battering its way into the jail, the mob stripped Armwood of his clothing and wrapped a rope around his neck. He was then pulled behind an automobile through the town to the home of Judge Robert F. Duer, who attempted to dissuade the mob. Screaming and cursing, those nearest Armwood beat and kicked his body as he was pulled along. He was apparently dead when dragged into the judge's yard. Not finding a tree large enough in Judge Duer's yard, they strung Armwood up in a neighboring yard. As he dangled in the air he was made the (Continued on page 2)

Reporter Witnesses Blow with Night Stick; Head Gashed
Two well known Washington lawyers and a newspaper reporter, standing in the Second Police Precinct Station last Saturday afternoon, looked on as an attack as brutal as any of the numerous charges to white members of the Metropolitan Police Department we repetrated on a colored wo. by a policeman of her own race.
E. P. Hallman was the officer. Lenora Cole, 40 years old, of 2010 Eighth Street, Northwest, was the victim. C. W. C. Williams and C. D. Artis, lawyers, and Samuel H. Lacy, city editor of the Washington Tribune, were the unexpected witnesses.
It is not often that eye-witnesses to a police assault can be found, and Saturday's occurrence was a matter of coincidence. The three men had been attracted to the station by the street scuffle between Hallman and the intoxicated woman which took place outside the building as she was being taken from the patrol. Inside Miss Cole was booked on charges of drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

SANITARY IS NEXT TO BE PICKETED
New Negro Alliance Plans to Place Clerks in Second Local Chain
Pickets will be placed before Sanitary stores in Negro neighborhoods as soon as a checkup is completed in sections surrounding these stores, members of the New Negro Alliance announced at its weekly meeting Saturday.
Since A. & P. stores were picketed several weeks ago by Alliance members the managers have announced their policy of hiring Negro clerks in stores largely patronized by colored. Six such clerks have been employed and others are to be hired from time to time, A. & P. managers said.
In the meantime the officers of the Alliance have begun a watchful waiting policy in order to give the A.&P. stores a chance "to hire an appreciable number" before the Sanitary stores are picketed.
Albert Dade, a member of the advisory board of the Alliance, announced Saturday that three men had been placed in a restaurant located on the corner of Seventh and T Streets, Northwest.
Grayson McGuire, of the case committee of the Alliance, stated that letters had been received from Phillip Brown, owner of Brown's Corner, Seventh and T Streets, haberdashers, and Ambroglia's delicatessens store, Rhode Island.

Dispatches from the St. Philip Hospital, Richmond, Va., report the condition of John H. Burr, Howard University assistant director of physical education, who was hurt in an automobile accident recently, as being much improved. He is still confined to the institution there, however.
Mr. Burr sustained severe internal injuries when the automobile belonging to J. U. Hunter, Armstrong High School automobile mechanics teacher, in which he was riding to this city from Richmond, was in collision with a south-bound machine near Hanover, Va.
Four other companions, Benjamin Washington, teacher of science at Armstrong, E. P. Westmoreland, teacher of shoe repairing, Thomas Verdell, head coach of football at Howard University; and Hunter, were also shaken up, but none suffered hurts as serious as those inflicted on Burr. All returned to their duties during the week after the accident.
Mr. Burr lives at 760 Fairmont Street, Northwest. He is head coach of basketball at the Blue and White institution; and a much liked athletic authority and member of the Eastern Board of Officials.

With the auditorium of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church crowded to capacity, a full thousand in the Sunday school and ante-room down stairs, and at least 2,000 more in the street outside, the Reverend Alexander A. Wanks, pastor of the Tenth Street Baptist Church, and known throughout America as the "Black Billy Sunday," was eulogized, last Tuesday, Services which began at 11 o'clock in the morning were terminated at the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery long after the fall of darkness.
The death of the famous minister occurred at 4:05 Friday after an attack of paralysis. He had been ill for several weeks.

15 Groups Meet New Deal for Ne
J. P. Davis Sounds Battle Cry to Free Race from Economic Slavery
The battle cry of more than three million Negroes was sounded Wednesday, when John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, declared at a banquet given by the committee at the Whitelaw Hotel that "the work of Negro organizations united in the effort to free black labor from economic slavery will not be done until real dollars find their way into the pockets of black workers, and hungry Negro men and women no longer wander the streets jobless." Seek Square Deal Mr. Davis spoke at the banquet attended by designated representatives of 15 major national organizations who have joined in the work of the Joint Committee on National Recovery to secure a square deal for Negro labor.
Outstanding leaders of both races were present at the banquet and expressed themselves as enthusiastic over the formation of a united committee of leading racial and interracial, church, civic and fraternal organizations. An unduplicated membership of more than three million colored citizens is estimated to have representation on the Joint Committee.

At exactly 11 o'clock, the remains of the 62-year-old evangelist-minister, was started down the aisle of the Tenth and Q Streets Church, he literally made, a trip that was to be his last earthly voyage from the place he loved. The procession arrived at the Vermont Avenue Church a few minutes later and the saddened gathering was silenced as the meticulously sealed casket, costing in excess of a thousand dollars, was rolled to its place in front of the subit.
Service was begun with the Reverend Robert Anderson president of the Baptist Ministers Conference, presiding. Hymnal conditions by the choir of the Vermont Avenue Church and a prayer by the Reverend K. W. Kay, pastor of the Mount Bethel Baptist Church, led up to the main culogy delivered by Dr. W. J. Winston, of Baltimore, Md., a life-long friend of the deceased evangelist.

The Reverend Mr. Winston took the title, "A Great Man Has Fallen," from the text, "Know ye not that there is a prince, a great man has fallen this day in Israel."
After a brief sketch of the life of Dr. Wilbanks, who went to the Tenth Street Church when it had only 22 members, and while there built up a congregation of 1,236, the speaker delivered as stirring a sermon as has probably ever been.

FOOTBALL STRIKE PLANS ABANDONED BY HOWARD SQUAD
Team Members Satisfied Athletic Board Chairman Issues a Statement
The scheduled walk-out of the Howard University football team which was reported to have been planned for Tuesday of this week, was indefinitely called off when the difference between members of the squad and school officials was ironed out.
The Tribute was vindicated in its diagnosis of the feeling members of the team and student-body held in the matter of inferior equipment given the players, when Professor Frank Coleman, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control, denied that the proposed strike was influenced by sentiment against the lack of a free training table.
Professor Coleman made the following statement Wednesday:
"Howard University athletics are conducted under the code of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the C.I.A.A., both of which organizations have passed legislation forbidding athletics scholarships and free training tables for athletics.
"There is no such sentiment among the present football squad as has been reported looking to having the Board of Athletic Control provide free training tables, and whatever propaganda of that kind at present extant is outside of the university.
"The team has made some complaint." Professor Coleman states, "concerning the lack of equipment, and this complaint is at present not without some justification. The fact is, however, that the athletic authorities responsible for the ordering of equipment for the team did not anticipate a squad as large as the one which reported, and, consequently, additional equipment had to be ordered, but has not yet arrived."

TEACHERS URGED TO JOIN WITH ORGANIZED LABOR
Local Union Addressed by Secretary of American Federation
The Washington Teachers' Union, Local No. 27, had at its guest speaker last Wednesday at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. Mrs. Florence Hansom, secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of Teachers, and delegate to the recent convention of the American Federation of Labor, before which body she presented the report of the educatinal committee. As a result of this report the American Federation of Labor went on record as sponsoring the code for teachers prepared by the American Federation of Teachers and enunciated the principles on which the code is to be based.
The convention, moreover, adopted the resolution that the situation in the public schools of America calls for and authorized the president and executive council to present to the President of the United States a statement showing the alarming conditions and to seek his aid in this crisis. Tracing the struggle during the last century for development of the curriculum in the public schools of America, Mrs. Hansom made a plea for teachers to join with organized labor to preserve what is worthwhile for pupils and to protect themselves against unfair discriminations.
She pointed out the fact that depression has been made the opportunity and not the necessity for an attack on public school education. Citing the state of Arkansas where sixty per cent of the schools are closed and where colored teachers have received 21 per cent cuts as against 11 per cent for white teachers, the speaker urged greater solidarity among colored teachers in order to fight prejudice. Encouragement was given Local No. 27 in its efforts to unite teachers by A. Phillip Randolph, and M. P. Webster, president and chairman of the executive board, respectively, of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.
Mrs. Mary M. Jones, president of Local No. 27, reported informally upon the annual convention to the American Federation of Teachers, to which she was a delegate in Milwaukee, in June, 1933. Musical selections were rendered by Mrs. Elizabeth Dickerson and Mrs. Esther B. King was chairman of the program committee.

fashion of the registry of all prisoners, the booze-crazed mind of the woman gave vent to insulting remarks which she cast in almost insane frenzy at the colored patrolman. Insisting that she would not go with the "black _____," the prisoner' staggered toward Hallman and gave him a shove. The officer retaliated with a blow in the left front forehead with his night-stick.
Blood poured from the wound as she was placed in the patrol and rushed to Freedmen's Hospital where three stitches were required to close it.
Investigation revealed that Hallman went into the Eighth Street house to arrest Miss Cole on a charge of assault against Joseph Brandon, 1900 block of Eighth Street, Northwest. The arrest was accomplished after a struggle inside the house, during which the woman claims she was struck or kicked on the leg.
The charges of drunkenness and disorderly conduct were dismissed in Police Court Monday morning. She demanded a trial by jury on the two charges of assault. Tuesday, October 24, was set as the date for the hearing.

New Product Grows Hair One Inch in One Month
A new product that positively grows any kind of hair one inch longer in a month is the new discovery of Mile. Renee Guidel, a former nurse in the Hospital des Continents in Paris. This product is so remarkable that Mile. Guidel's name is now known from coast to coast. A few weeks ago an announcement was made by newspapers all over the country, that Miss Guidel would send free samples to any reader. The response was so great it required a little army of thirty-five girls to take care of the requests; and at this writing, Mile. Guidel has received thousands of testimonial letters telling of the wonderful results received so far.
It can be safely said that never before in the history of our country has any product aroused more interest than this remarkable discovery. At her Fifth Avenue Salon in New York City, Miss Guidel is a woman of great charm and charismaticness; here one may look on and see dandruff disappear and the curls and kinks vanish from stubble hair as if by magic. Any one who wishes to try to wander worker, may have a liberal supply FRNK of hair, and may be directed to Mile, Raven Guidel, 500 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.J., Dept. WT.

HUGE CROWD ATTENDS
(Continued from page 1) offered over the remains of an individual in the annuals of the Vermont Avenue Church. He shook the emotions of a bereaved crowd as he compared the dead pastor's life and death to the metamorphosis of the catepillar and butterfly. "As he crawled about in his lowly mission on earth." Dr. Winston shouted, "Wilbanks portrayed the caterpillar, preyed upon by his enemies and protected by his friends. Thus spared, Wilbanks has now taken his place among the butterflies, he has won his wings."
Trials Pointed Out
Pointing to the trials through which the Reverend Wilbanks was compelled to go while fighting for the maintenance of the Tenth Street Church, Dr. Wilson likened him to Daniel in the lion's den. "Through it all he fought," said the Baltimore preacher, "his only weapon being prayer—prayer, a religion that stands through fire and runs through water."
"Not only as a pastor will he be long remembered," the speaker continued in his calmer tone, "but as an evangelist and prince of evangelism he will stand out as our Gibraltar Rock. Wilbanks was not a pants man, he was not a coat man; he was a man of God."
Many Become Hysterical
"Sleep on, Wilbanks" went on Dr. Winston, "sleep on. Slumber on with the princes and take your rest. Slumber on, my friend, slumber on with Lee and Johnson and Norman." Dr. Winston was again aroused to fever pitch. Listeners were shouting and crying. Some were hysterical. Members of the first aid unit were busy in various sections of the church administering to the more affected individuals.
"Wilbanks deserves his rest. He was a great man, a gift of kind Heaven to a poor world. He met the devil on a thousand battle-fields and conquered him and raised his flag. Sleep on, Wilbanks. Slumber on and take your rest. Slumber on with Waldron and Sayles."
Traffic Tied Up
Downstairs and outside where people crowding the streets made it necessary for police to direct traffic from Vermont Avenue to Twelfth Street, specially arranged amplifiers were carrying the voice of the vehement spokesman. The rain had stopped and still more had ventured to positions in front of the church to join in the tribute to the departed official evangelist of the National Baptist Convention. "Wilbanks was a great prince," the lusty voiced eulogist continued. "He took point against the atheists. He protected the Kingdom against all comers. He could put sinners in a hurry running away from hell. He worked when other men slept. He preached when other men sinned. He fought where other men feared to tread. He was a prince.
Weeping and Shouting
"Sleep on, you great man. Slumber on with Sayles and Graham and Hickerson." By now the huge gathering had been worked into a frenzy. Everywhere there was weeping and shouting and moaning. At this point the voice of Dr. Winston dropped and he concluded with brief tributes to various members of the congregation and friends of the family who had aided
the departed leader during his health and his illness.
Came from Texas in 1893
Aside from the sermon by the Reverend Winston, the remarks by the Reverend S. J. Lampkin, president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, were perhaps the most striking among those offered by various other members of the clergy in attendance.
Dr. Lampkin told of how the Reverend Wilbanks had come to the city from Texas in 1893, and since that time had earned membership in the conference, take over the pastorate of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Twelfth Street, Northeast, where he won such favor that he was elected as its pastor for life, and later won the assignment to the Friendship Baptist Church after the hurricane of 1896 had blown down the structure of the Northeast church. From Friendship he went to the Tenth Street Church, where he served for the 17 years and 10 months prior to his death.
Rose from Obscurity
"Dr. Wilbanks," said the Ministers' Conference president, "rose from obscurity to become one of the greatest leaders of people in Washington and in America. He could carry people in Washington than any other minister could in any city in the country. He took his place with such evangelists as Moody, Spurgeon, and Billy Sunday."
Other speakers included the Reverends J. L. S. Holloman, pastor of the Second Baptist Church; J. P. Nichols, secretary of the Baptist Ministers' Conference; G. W. Brent, moderator of the Mt. Bethel Baptist Association; James H. Brown, representative of the Ministers' Convocation; B. H. Whiting, pastor of Friendship; and J. W. Henderson.
100 Cars in Procession
Telegrams were read from Roxbury, Mass.; Kaiser, W.Va.; Charleston, S.C.; Chicago, Ill.; Richmond, Va.; New York City; and Washington, D.C.
Following the funeral services a stream of nearly 100 motor cars followed the hearse of W. Ernest Jarvis to the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery, where in a blaze of automobile headlights the body was lowered into a grave beside that of his wife.
Surviving Dr. Wilbanks are three brothers and three sisters.

From all indications, the song recital of Miss R. Louise Burge, who will be presented at the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church on Thursday night, November 16, is attracting wide attention. Miss Burge, who is one of the Capital's favorite soloists, is the possessor of a rich, mellow contralto voice. Miss Burge is a graduate of the School of Music of Howard University and has had of the Capital's favorite soloists. Many Baltimoreans are planning to come over on the night of the recital.

M. PHILIPSBORN CO. SEEKS RETURN OF NEGRO PATRONAGE
Following a conference with officials of the M. Philisborn and Company department store, early this week. The Tribune learned that Negro trade—instead of being objected to—was not only welcomed but solicited by the store management which is on record as being opposed to the policy of extending colored patrons the same courtesy as is offered white customers.
Several years ago, it was disclosed, a man by the name of Gilbert Bright, Southernner by birth, was assigned to the position of manager of the local branch of the Philipsborn Company, an organization with stores in all the principal cities along the Atlantic Coast line. On his arrival at the Eleventh Street business, Bright, fresh from Birmingham, Alabama, opened a fight against the practice of selling to Negroes. The trade was not wanted, he made known, and colored persons who sought service at the store stood likely to be embarrassed.
According to I. Behrend, general supervisor of the local store, who was vacationing in Florida at the time of the appointment of Bright, the company was not in sympathy with the change in policy. However, not wishing to interfere with the freedom of movement extended to all their managers, the directors, though reluctant to do so, tolerated his program. A year and a half later Gilbert was dismissed.
Since that time several men have been tried on the job, but none of them showed any tendency toward recovery of the business Gilbert had sacrificed. They likewise were disposed of.
Byron Ackerman, son of the president of the organization, is now general manager of the Washington store, and he insists on being quoted as being conscientiously desirous of regaining the patronage of Washington's colored populace.
Both Mr. Ackerman and Mr. Behrend showed a dislike for the term "change of policy" which the reporter frequently used during the discussion. Each of the men insisted that the Philipsborn Company had not undergone a change in policy or spirit. Instead, they held, it was "simply the manipulations of a prejudiced mind which, unfortunately, was placed in a strategic position in their organization."
"The Philipsborn Company has stores in cities as far South as Atlanta, Ga., and in none of them is Negro business denied the full courtesy extended members of the white race," Mr. Ackerman stated. "It is my aim to let colored people in Washington know that Philipsborn wants their trade, and deeply regrets any past action that was contrary to that feeling."

He was left hanging about 20 minutes and then dropped to the ground. The tattered remains were then dragged down the main street to the court house, where someone produced a five-gallon can of gasoline. A match was struck, the fire ate through the rope, and the charred body fell to the ground. It remained there for hours until a reinforcement of troops came too late.
Third in 20 Years
Governor Ritchie is said to have already telegraphed Judge Deur and State's Attorney Robins to get all forces of law in motion to apprehend members of the mob. The two are being held responsible for Armwood's being in Princess Anne. A white man with whom Armwood was riding when he was caught in Baltimore, also held, narrowly escaped being lynched along with the mob's colored victim.
The Princess Anne Academy is located near the scene of the lynching. Armwood was the third colored victim to die at the hands of a mob on Maryland's Eastern Shore during the past 20 years.

Many Visitors
Since the rededication of the branch last Wednesday, many visitors have passed through the renovized building and admired its new furnishings and appointments. The boys' department especially with its new built-in log cabin social room, has elicited many favorable comments. In spite of its increased facilities to its members, Major Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the association, announced that there would be no increase in rates for memberships.

15-CENT BET IN CARD GAME LEADS UP TO SLAYING
Reputed Confessor and Brothers Are Held by Coroner's Jury
Charged with cheating in a "skin game," Sunday, started a free-for-all in which the accuser was fatally stabbed in the neck and subsequently resulted in three other players being sent to cells to avail action of the grand jury, following an inquest, Tuesday. Hurley Cassidy, 22, of 428 G Place, Northwest, was found lying in a pool of his own blood in the rear of a vacant premises at 418 G Place by Officers George Nicholson and S. W. Holland, both white, of the First Precinct, investigating the fight.
Bennie Lee Draper, 31, of 7231 G Place, who is said to have admitted having slashed the deceased in a fistful duel, according to testimony before Dr. A. M. MacDonald, acting coroner, was one of the men held for the grand jury. Claude Joseph Morton, 39, and his brother, James Edward Morton, were held as accessories before and after the fact.
Woman Joins Game
According to the testimony, Cassidy, the three men held, and a woman, Georgianna Marshall, indulged in several games of skin at the suggestion of Cassidy. The latter is said to have become angered over a 15-cent bet in the third game and made the accusation that he was being cheated. Cassidy is then said to have struck Draper and the two rolled to the floor.
Another fracas is then said to have started in another section of the room between Jesse Cassidy, a brother of the slain man, and the Morton brothers. Jesse Claimed that he was ganged in the house, after he went in upon being told by some unknown person that his brother was being killed.
Claude Morton, the only one of the three men who volunteered to make a statement, claimed that Jesse perjured himself on the stand and did not try to get in the role of a peacemaker as he had previously claimed. The latter also told of having carried Hurley Cassidy's bleeding form from the house to a nearby pump, where he and his brother tried to wash the blood from his face. Frightened that the man was dying, they then took the body to the vacant lot where it was found by police.
Deaper was arrested at the house shortly after the melee when he returned and volunteered to tell officers how the fight happened. While he was talking with Officer Holland, Officer Nicholson found Cassidy's body. He was then held for higher officials.
Wife Wives Rights
Others to testify were Detective Sergent Clyde N. Strange, who conducted an investigation for the Homicide Squad; Elizabeth Draper, wife of the accused, who waived her Constitutional rights and told that the deceased struck her husband the first blow; Georgianna Marshall, who related incidents leading up to the fatal fight; Elizabeth Weaver, who is reputed to

None of the witnesses, however, stated that they had seen a knife in the hards of any one during the battle. It developed that Claude Morton had given the knife to Draper on Sunday morning. He claimed that he had found it on Fourth Street, near the scene of a cutting scrape. The autopsy by Dr. Christopher J. Murphy revealed that the wound in Cassidy's neck had severed an important artery. He also was cut across the bridge of the nose and on the right side of the forehead.
Dunbar High Has Recovery Drive
Dunbar High School is now in the midst of its "Recovery Drive", whose main purpose is to increase membership in the Athletic Association and the number of subscribers to the Dunbar Observer. On Wednesday of last week, at a general assembly, students from each class urged their school-mates to buy athletic tickets and to subscribe to the school paper. The speakers were Eugene Scott, freshman; Yvonne Mitchell, sophomore; Carolyn Johnson, junior; and Frederick Davison, senior. Woodrow Derricote represented the dramatics classes. Cheer leaders led the school in spirited yells.
Eight student teachers from Howard University are practicing in English, French, Spanish and history classes. They are Misses Eunice Day, Adelaide Livingstone, Sarah Martineau, Julia Meyers, Louise Pinkett, Doris Risher, Pansy Williams, and Dorothy Young.
Seven Dunbar graduates are among this group, several of whom are practicing under the same teachers whom they had as students. Four are majoring in English, two in foreign languages, and one in history.
At a special meeting of the senior class on October 2, the following officers were elected: Frederick Davison, president; Virginia Fowler, vice-president; and Mercedes Murray, secretary.
More than 300 freshman and sophomore girls recently attended a "welcome" party given by Miss Julia E. Brooks, assistant principal, and the senior sponsors. Three-minute speeches on "Conduct In and Out of School," Attendance, Clubs, Lockers, Dress, Traffic, Lunch Room, Library, and the Honor Society were made by Grace Hunter, Frances Datcher, Helen Wells, Rosalie Reid, Mercedes Murray, Julia Brooks, Virginia Fowler, Reid, Maxine Bundy, and Rhoda Savoy, respectively. Miss Brooks and Mr. Smith gave brief remarks. The incoming girls were served ice cream by the sponsors.
Two Young Children Hit by Automobiles
Two seven-year-old children, a boy and a girl, were slightly injured when struck by autos while they were playing near their home Tuesday.
Lillian Lee, 7, of 804 Second Street, Northwest, was hit by an auto in front of her home by a machine said to have been operated by N. A. Yaegar, of 1832 Engleside Terrace, Northwest. Yaegar conveyed the little girl to Freedmen's Hospital, where she was found to have bruises of both knees.
James Manley, 7, of 2118 Ninth Street, Northwest, was struck on Ninth Street between Barry Place and V Street by a machine said to have been driven by Wallace Strothers, of 1765 Willard Street. The youth was taken to the hospital in Strothers's car and found to have abrasions of both knees and of the left ankle.

Wife's Request Turned Down After Government Lets Old Man Out
Though finding that Peter P. Pittman, 67-year-old former government employee, of 1263 Irving Street, Northwest, had deserted his wife, Mrs. Grace J. Pittman, of 1267 New Jersey Avenue, Southeast, Justice Jesse C. Adkins denied the woman's request for permanent alimony, Monday, because of Pittman's mental and financial condition.
Through his attorney, Nathan A. Dobbins, the elderly man had asked a dismissal of the wife's petition due to being discharged from government service because of his falling mentality and no means of earning a livelihood. The motion was supported by a report from Gallinger Hospital, where Pittman had been examined, to the effect that he was in poor mental condition.
The couple was married on March 19, 1930, by the Rev. L. V. Cleaves, then pastor of the Miles Memorial C.M.E. Church. They lived together until November 29, 1930. Claiming desertion, Mrs. Pittman filed suit for maintenance, through Elwood G. Hubert, April 23, 1931. The wife also averred that Pittman had her two grown sons to leave the home when he came to live with her, and that he failed to pay the rent while they lived together.
Ordered to Pay
Pittman denied the charges, stating that he paid $17.50 a month rent, and that he left his wife because of her repeated requests. The husband was later ordered to pay his wife $4 a week. When his wife subsequently charged him with being in arrears, his attorney, Mr. Dobbins, presented an affidavit showing that he had been discharged from the government Refuse Department as a result of his mental condition after 16 years of service. It was also stated that he was not eligible to pension, lacking five years of the required service.
A daughter, Mrs. E. Pittman Winston, who came here from New York, avowed during the proceedings that she was forced to leave her employment to come here last year to care for her father. The request for permanent alimony was denied "without prejudice."

Placed Under Probation
The petition further states that the wife secured a warrant on several occasions, and at one time when Brown was arrested, he was placed under one year's probation in Police Court. The wife avers that she endured the nudtreatment until October 28, 1931, when she sought the protection of relatives to prevent further beatings. Brown is then said to have deserted her and they have not lived together since.
Mrs. Brown states that a major operation which she had to undergo at Emergency Hospital, in 1932, has prevented her from doing any work of consequence. In addition to permanent alimony, she seeks alimony pending the litigation, attorney's fees, and such other reliefs as the court may deem fit.

A Nuisance That Should Be Stopped
With the approaching electrocution of Joseph Jackson, Irving Murray, and Ralph E. Holmes, November 29, for the "ganging" and fatal beating of a park policeman, the question of rowdyism in various sections of the city becomes very manifest. The police and the police court judges should act promptly and vigorously to suppress it. A few arrests, followed by punishment more severe than a slap on the wrist, will protect the public from the always annoying and often dangerous nuisances created by street and park gangs of men and boys.
With the approaching electrocution of Joseph Jackson, Irving Murray, and Ralph E. Holmes, November 29, for the "ganging" and fatal beating of a park policeman, the question of rowdyism in various sections of the city becomes very manifest. The police and the police court judges should act promptly and vigorously to suppress it. A few arrests, followed by punishment more severe than a slap on the wrist, will protect the public from the always annoying and often dangerous nuisances created by street and park gangs of men and boys.
Pedestrians are often made uncomfortable by young men who wrestle on the sidewalks, throw various objects at one another, shout highly objectionable jests and epithets, and otherwise misconduct themselves. If they are not suppressed, then the streets and parks will continue to be their arenas. The coming electrocution demonstrates how easily they may commit some rash act which may lead them to a dishonorable end.
Possibly, in many cases it has been the amiable weakness of law officials to treat these offenders as youths to be pardoned for their too boisterous display of spirits. All of these offenders are nothing of the sort. Many are mature men who know how they should behave, but trespass upon the rights of respectable citizens to engage in brawls.
It is the duty of law officials to keep them in order, and this can be done with comparative ease, if the job is taken up earnestly and sincerely.
The Newspaper A Necessity
When you want anything in the way of current information, the first place you think about looking for it is in the newspaper. When you have anything you want the public to know, the first place you think of putting it is in the newspaper. When you are arranging a celebration, meeting, bazaar, or whatever it is, the first thing you think of is to select a publicity committee to get in touch with the newspaper.
Births, deaths, marriages, all important events of life, go into the paper and you depend upon it for your information. Auto fatalities, wrecks, slayings and other misfortunes, improvements, promotions, and other fortunate events, all find their way into the newspaper. Information about schools, civic associations, churches, is also looked for in the newspaper. Then there's the endless number of little happenings, the comings or going of Mr. and Mrs. So and So, unusual happenings, and the other incidentals which make up the life of a community. When we want to know about these, we turn to the newspaper. The more completely it covers these things, the better we like it, and the more successful it is.
Of course, there are other means of communication, telephone, radio, and telegraph. We need them in our complicated civilization and would find it hard to gea along without them. But none, however, covers the field so thoroughly, or at such small expense as The Tribune. The newspaper is a necessity. In no other way can the community so cheaply, so easily, and so thoroughly keep itself before the world, or in touch with the world as by The Tribune.
Action Instead of Praver
The American Federation of Labor in its recent convention voted a boycott on German goods and German services, (pledging its family of more than 20,000,000) because of the continued persecution of Jews directed by Hitler of Germany. This action is certainly to be commended. It brings to our mind, however, that the American Federation seems more interested in persecuted people in Europe than in persecuted people in America.
It would be well for our people in this country to adopt some such method of retaliation against the people or organizations who see fit to persecute and
It would be well for our people in this country to adopt some such method of retaliation against the people or organizations who see fit to persecute and
discriminate against us. The Jews, praying—but the Jews have at last decided to mix action with prayer. They will now get somewhere. Why not follow their lead?

Our Country's Stand
By H. E. BARNETT
A great nation we have risen, and as we rose,
Through God's directing power He sent to us
mankind
To live and here reside;
No breach among ourselves but we ourselves
do close;
Naught else we seek but what the hand of friendship gives,
Nor offer aught than duty bids and love commands,
Not ours is others' strife.
It is as friend within whose heart there lives
A will to help—apart; but aid no out-stretched hands
To take our nation's life.
Free from alliances as taught the Fathers, we
Shall teach our children's sons the heritage to keep
It is as friend within whose heart there lives
A will to help—apart; but aid no out-
stretched hands.
To take our nation's life.
Free from alliances as taught the Fathers, we
Shall teach our children's sons the heritage
to keep
Nor part with aught they gave;
No selfish aim is ours in wishing thus to be
Aloof from court of nations with its sway
and sweep:
We Freedom's Name would save.
Free from entanglements, bitter hatred and
fears.
A youthful nation, rich and none to molest.
We hone to remain;
The weak of every land in anguish and in tears,
With loyal hearts and true, will in their eager quest,
A home among us gain.
And thus, O God, unhampered, this land shall eer be
The helpful guiding star and freedom's happy home
For which its people died;
From perils and uprisings Thou hast kept us free,
And, through thy Almighty Power, no ills may come
While we in Thee abide.
God rules, Through Him, we here a chieftain wise elect
To minister to our sovereign needs and bliss
And execute our laws;

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1933
My advocacy of the farm as the Negroe's only salvation grows out of a life-long experience, observation, and conviction.
By KELLY MILLER
The national government can best help the Negro by encouraging him to get a firm and secure grip on the soil. The saddest chapter in the history of race progress is found in the census report that during the last census decade the Negro lost over four hundred square miles of farm ownership—an area larger than the state of Connecticut. There was no off-setting gains of a permanent character and value.
My advocacy of the farm as the Negro's only salvation grows out of a life-long experience, observation, and conviction. I was born on a farm and lived and worked there until I was seventeen years of age. I bought the farm on which I was brought up as a boy, and for the last fifty years have been a petty farm proprietor.
I have tasted both the joys and the hardships of bucolic life. I have experienced the exhilaration and zest of the nibbling of the minnow and the jerk of the catfish at my pin fish-hook as I sat all day long in the hot sun fishing in Mill Creek—and was happy. I have worked hard at bone breaking labor for a whole year to be rewarded at Christmastide with a few dollars to buy a pair of shoes and some firecrackers.

On the other hand, I have lived in the city for the past fifty years importantly related to Howard University, the chief Negro institution of higher learning. I have observed and studied race conditions in every city in the land where Negroes are found in considerable numbers.
Although this study has not taken on the form of technically scientific research and survey, yet I have had a wide-open bird's eye over the whole field. Those who have done me the honor to follow my writings for the past forty years can testify that my sympathies have always leaned to the side of agriculture.

CITIES PROVE TO BE
HANDICAPS TO NEGROES
The more widely and closely I look into city conditions, the more thoroughly I am convinced that they hold out little immediate or future hope for comprehensive racial welfare. Let us take Harlem and South Chicago as tragic examples. In these two metropolises, race prejudice has shut the Negro into restricted areas, and abandoned to him extravagant houses built a generation ago for the wealthy. One walks along Morning Side Avenue, New York, or South Boulevard, Chicago, and groans when he contemplates the sinister trick which prejudice has played by turning over these fastidious properties to a hopelessly handicapped race.
It is safe to say that the average Negro yeomanry in these and other cities are paying at least half their income for rent. Any fool can easily predict the outcome of such a dilemma. The lot of those who live in the alleys and shade places is no whit better off.
Race prejudice confines the city Negro to the lower rungs of occupation, and under the growing pressure of competition, is pushing him further and further down, with serious threat to push him out altogether. The farm offers the only relief in sight. It is very difficult to get the merits of the country Negro's case squarely presented to the people of the country or even to the Negro himself.
Race leaders who control the pulpit, press, and other agencies of public opinion are located in the cities and are enjoying the cream on top of the churn, leaving the sour whey at the bottom. Their constituencies are in the cities—the country Negro cannot speak for himself and has no one to speak for him. But the time of plain speaking has come—if the leaders should hold their place, the alleys will cry out.

BOLEY AND MOUND BAYOU
WERE DISAPPOINTMENTS
A generation ago, we watched with much interest such rural experiments as Boley, Okla.; Mcund Bayou, Miss., and sundry like enterprises in various parts of the South. These all have come to a greater or less degree of grief. They have sustained the brunt of agricultural depression in the country at large. But the noble experiment is not discredited. These experiments failed to work out a satisfactory fulfilment of their early hope and promise because they failed to secure the requisite aid and encouragement. All such enterprises are more than apt to fail without adequate outside support. The Negro cannot lift himself by pulling against his own boot straps.

Social philosophers, statesmen and philanthropists are now talking about dispersing the population, instead of concentrating it in great centers such as was witnessed during the last generation. An article in the magazine section of last Sunday's New York Times is illuminating on this proposition. The Negro, most of all, needs to be redistributed. He has no assured place or fixed function in the city where he must forever abide in the shade of a puny, sickish growth. In the country alone he can find a place in the sun. Hardships are to be expected and overcome.
I would like to see the enlightened leadership of the race unite in a memorial to the Government to put a reasonable share of federal allotment behind such movements as Boley, Okla.; Mound Bayou, Miss., and that most remarkable enterprise—the Log Cabin Community Center in Hancock County, Ga., sponsored by President Benjamin F. Hubert, of the Georgia State College at Savannah.
By sustaining these and like worthy projects, the NRA would vindicate its purpose more fully than any other life allotment expended in any other direction.
Advertising the Race Abroad BY CARTER G. WOODSON,
of Washington, D.C., Editor of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in Our History." "The Mis-Education of the Negro," and "The Negro Professional Man."
On the Boulevard des Italiens in Paris not long ago I saw one of fellowmen of color dressed up our typical gay style. His attire of loud colors went to the extreme, and above all he had his air straightened and packed about his head as if it had been dipped on tar and then ironed out around empty poll. The make-up looked fairly well in front, but in the rear where the transformation
(Editor's Note—Due to the error in mechanical make-up last week. Dr. Woodson's article "Sending the Wrong Man to Europe" lost much of its value because of the omission of the major part of his first paragraph. We are sorry it happened.
The complete paragraph follows:
"I was recently accosted on a street in Paris by a fellow countryman of color who wanted to borrow enough money to return to the United States. I had to tell him that the same problem had given me much concern since I had been in Europe and that if he could secure two tickets to New York City he would have the opportunity to make me eternally grateful to him.")
many Negroes there rely upon their sexual prowess rather than on their intellectual power to get along in that country.
This attitude may account for the change in the tone of the European press with respect to the Negro. Formerly in reference to a person mentioned in a news item his race was not emphasized. He was referred to merely as a human being.
European papers of today, however, are rapidly taking over the characteristic method of the United States dailies in featuring the criminals of the race while saying nothing of such connections in giving publicity to meritorious achievements of persons of color. Even in France where race hate is not so evident as in England one sees this tendency.
For example, it was not sufficient for the Parisian journals to display on the front page the cut of the Negro who had been a friend of Violette Nozières, the editor had to point him out specifically as a "noir." When a Negro there this summer took a Frenchman's wife and black-mailed her into giving him her husband's earnings he was referred to as a Senegalese. When another Negro robbed a taxdriver there it was carefully noted that he was a Martiniquian. When a Chinaman committed a murder there about the same time he was recorded as a "Chincia." In many cases of news from abroad the papers publish what biased news gathering agencies offer. For example, the New Yorker who murdered his child to obtain the amount for which he was insured was referred to not as an American but as a Negro of the United States.
With respect to these facts, however, the average Frenchman is still open-minded. It is only the press and other such agencies under the international influences of race hate which are now beginning to note racial distinctions. The French people, then, are surprised that intellectual Negroes whom they occasionally meet belong to that class in the United States placed by biased writers in the same category with reported criminals and the Negro element frequenting the dens of vice in Europe.
If the French meet with the so-called American Negro who is not actually black, then, they take him to be an Arab or a Hindoo. If this Negro identifies himself as an intelligent American, the French do not yet, as a rule, place him in the reputed criminal class. They refer to him as a mulatto, one of a different type. When they see a black man exhibiting the evidence of modern culture they are agreeably surprised.
The press and movies of the United States have done so much to discredit the American Negro in Europe that the race as such is not a great factor in the public mind.
VICE
Down in certain well known sections of Southwest Washington there is an organized crime ring, which sponsors the operation of certain types of dives, mainly houses of prostitution, which create vice and the various forms of petty criminal activities which accompany such things. It is a matter of public knowledge that a woman can be had—Negro women—our women—daughters of some mother—sisters of some brother—for the price, a paltry sum, open to all bidders, white and black alike. As long as decent citizens fail to raise the howl that is necessary for the extermination of these dens of vice and crime, houses of debauchery, just so long will the local police department keep hands off. I do not wish to suggest that our police department is not doing its duty, but when the public generally is so aware of these things, are we to think that all of us are blind? The citizens of the District can
On the Boulevard des Italiens in Paris not long ago I saw one of my fellowmen of color dressed up in our typical gay style. His attire of loud colors went to the extreme, and above all he had his hair straightened and packed about his head as if it had been dipped into tar and then ironed out around his empty poll. The make-up looked well well in front, but in the rear where the transformation came to an imperfect end it resembled the gathered bobbed tail of a black horse.
This Negro was a treat to Paris, for, admiring curly hair, the French Negroes have not yet thought seriously of such a thing as straightening it. Everybody whom this Negro passed, then, eyed him from head to foot, evidently wondering how he managed to do it. This was the contribution of Harlem to Paris, I wondered, however, how much better off Europe will be with more Negroes with greased hair than with curly hair.
If the Negro is going to Europe, why should he not carry there something which Europe can profitably use? This Negro, however, was typically an American man of color. While strutting up and down that grand boulevard he was giving the Parisian in a concrete way a long chapter in the history of the American Negro, namely, the insanely slavish imitation of the white man. Not a parallelism of culture, but a poor counterfeit of something which he can never duplicate. If this Negro had learned from the white man how to keep his hair clean he would have been making some advancement.
The effect of these undesirable demonstrations which American Negroes are making in Europe is to discredit us. When the average European sees an American black man, then, the former wonders whether the latter belongs to a jazz orchestra or figures as a clown. The observer does not expect this man of color to know anything about art, philosophy, science, or literature or to manifest interest in these things.
The average European begins to think of how well this Negro can do the "Charleston" or the "Teddy," and if the former gets a chance he may call on the latter to perform. Unfortunately, one of the most frequent performances in which the American Negro indulges is to show off when he has nothing to exhibit but what excites derision and contempt among thinking people. It is sad indeed to be a dune and to have no knowledge at all of this handicap.
Negroes now going to Europe should change their plans, Too many of us go there merely for the pleasure which the trip affords, and when we return we do not know any more than if we had not made the trip. We do not stay in one place long enough to become acquainted with any country and its serious minded people. The contacts of most American Negroes, then, are restricted to amusement resorts, not always from choice but because they may be easily reached by the bird of passage. Every year we see Negro educators in Europe, but they do not report any helpful contact with Europeans in this sphere.
Some of our professional men go annually to that continent, but they tell us little of their establishing lasting connections with Europeans in these lines. Our ministers make the pilgrimage but do not greatly influence the councils which they frequent. They come back talking about interesting things which they saw, but did not have time to observe sufficiently to understand.
The Negro who stays in Europe long enough to become ac uainted and to impress himself upon the people is too often the shiftless immigrant, the scullion or the "jazz spreader."
Of course, there are a few Europeans who understand our situation perfectly and wonder how America can be so cruel to an offending people. One such European recently asked a white American why his race hates Negroes. This American replied, "Do not ask me. Go to the dens of vice in London, in Paris, or any other European city and answer the question yourself." While there is much to justify the natural conclusion from such an observation, this American did not take into consideration the fact that the Negro does not always go downward by choice. Those who enslaved the race and then reduced it to serfdom forced the Negro downward and still prevent him from rising.
This, however, cannot excuse the Negro in Europe for contributing there a disproportionate share of crime and vice. In Paris, for example, although the Negro element is a small proportion of the population, it is a common thing to read of their committing crimes. This year a Negro jazz artist had to be connected with the worst murderer in the city in many years—Violette Nozières. In parts of Paris where there are few Negroes living you will, nevertheless, find a number of them in the dens of vice. Speaking of London, a well-known American Negro traveler complains that too
SPECIAL FEATURES
"Think on these things," said Paul.
But the man who dares to think is a being apart and must dwell in a house alone. For he discovers many things that the world of men has not taken the trouble to discover. He holds within himself the key that will unlock the mystery of life. Great is the secret to which he has access and great is the price he must pay for it.
For the world can understand only that which it sees. It cares not what lies below the surface. And the truths which might be uncovered had best lie covered. For every fragment of truth that is added to the general store of human knowledge changes it; and in turn changes your life and mine; and we are loath to be ejected from the ruts in which we have allowed our minds and bodies to rest. So we offer no word of thanks or adulation to the man who has toiled and searched relentlessly to add to that meager bit which we can confidently say we know.
Always we will be striving to force upon him our actions and our thoughts. We will insist that he live his life along our lines of reasoning. But he will realize that we have only scraped the surface of the earth under which the treasure is hidden; yet he can never explain to men what he has discovered, because that is the barrier which separates him from them.
He will work hard and make a great contribution to humanity, but he will not be rewarded. His reward will be, as it should be, his accomplishment. For the Gods reward only those who are relentless enough to wrest the prize from the hands that hold it; and men will laugh at his efforts and be jealous of his achievement. The only praise will be the satisfaction within his breast which he will experience every time he finds himself a step nearer to the heart of things. His inspiration is, and will have to be, his faith in himself and the something within which drives him on and on endlessly upon his quest. He is one of the men whom the world calls fools.
The world has much to teach him, but he has also much to teach the world. For no man liveth to himself, but each man shapes his own destiny.
If he cannot reconcile his thoughts and his actions to the world in which he lives, blame him not. As long as he knows where he is going, and his determination and faith are strong, the gods will probably smile upon him and give him a break.
bring about an end to these things, and for the self-respect of themselves, and those blighted creatures who sell themselves in all their commonness, some stop should be put to it. It may be that such places are "necessary evils," but no self-respecting individual can condone such open operation of them
A BOW TO FINLEY WILSON
We are forced to compliment J. Finley Wilson and his associates, also Judge Billy Hueston, for the noble fight which they have made to "rescue" the lost remnants of the National Benefit firm, only to be denied the request that no further liquidation be done until the D.C. Court of Appeals answered their petitions. It was a splendid effort, and I do not know yet whether it is finished, but it is a definite fact that a Negro institution which has the salvage value of the N.B.L. -amounting to about $986,000 is indeed worth fighting for, for when dissolution is ended, some white brother will own the greater portion of this vast net, worth and value, purchased on the block like slaves in 1835. Had Daniel C. Roper, now Sec'y of Commerce, been let alone, he would have mutualized the company in 1931-32, and thus saved it to the race, but a dumb court, stumbling about in error, put in receivers who not only wound up the Company's business, but have failed to account for over a million in collected premiums since their entree upon the scene. The Race got a bad break in this N.B.L. affair.
PETTY RACKET—On Colored Women
You've seen those classified "ads" in your daily papers: "Girl colored, wants work; willing to stay nights, Maid, or attendant at bachelor apt." Of course you have. And here is how certain dawn-minded whites take advantage of Negro girls: They call the girl, ask her to come to their address, and when she comes she is invited to enter. Then the dominant male, usually alone goes to the extreme. If the girl is hard-pressed, and really needs money, etc, the result is inevitable. However, in a number of cases strong-minded colored women have beat the trappers at their own game. For instance, there was the girl who answered such a call, accompanied by her strapping six-foot boy friend. And did the gentleman try to pull the usual thing on her? I'll say he did not!

"Gold is but a metal that causes man to sometimes murder a brother."
The present economic depression of the world has brought about a strong sentiment of race consciousness among various nations. Nationalism was once considered a grave danger to world peace. But the recent development of racialism has been found to be far more perilous to the security of national friendship. Racialism is the inner development of nationalism. It is brought about mostly through jealousy and selfishness on the part of the race that makes up the majority. The race that constitutes the minority is the victim.
The persecution of Jews in Germany is an ideal example of this. The Jews of Germany are Germans by right of birth. Nevertheless they are victims of Hitler in his mad desire to create racialism among the Nordic Germans.
The Jews dominated commercial Germany. Their power extended to the very government. They had the wealth of Germany. Jealousy in the hearts of Germans led to the persecution of Jews. "Germany for Germans" was their slogan. All human feeling of race toward race was forgotten. Barbarianism reigned where justice and race equality existed only a few months ago.
But the Jews were not caught asleep. They had that strange power of seeing things before they happened.
In 1920, they began to reconstruct Palestine. Out of an almost arid waste land the Jews have accomplished what was seemingly impossible. Dr. Chaim Weiynann, president of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and head of the World Zionest Organization, gives a good insight on the condition of Palestine before the return of the Jew. "Palestine," he says, "was hardly more than an arid waste. Nothing was manufactured there on a commercial scale except soap and wine, and these were produced in the most primitive of home plants. There was no electrical power, no gas, no oil fuel. Only the most antiquated and decrepit rail facilities were available. Motor bus lines were virtually unheard of, and overland transportation was forced to depend chiefly upon the old Turkish road system—long out of repairs and more of a curse to the country than a benefit."
Today, out of that which was once a waste, the Jews have built Palestine, their old home, into a wealthy country. Besides its marvelous progress in agriculture Palestine's industry has grown from nothing to 3,000 factories of various kinds, with a capital of $40,000,000 and employing 35,000 workers. The country is also producing all its domestic needs in such things as cement, vegetable oils, soap, leather, shoes, furniture, wearing apparel, candy, bricks, lumber, refrigerators, kitchen ranges, iron and brass casting, pumps, building materials, tobacco, stationery, and automobile bodies.
After suffering persecution at the hands of Germans, the Jews are finding peace, fortune and security in their old homeland.
Through faith and the ability to co-operate with one another, they have once again regained possession of the "Promised Land."

The football season is on. As usual we find these contests, now being staged in the stadium of Howard University, drawing many of our popular co-eds and socially prominent people together, especially when scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Last Saturday, an enthusiastic crowd assembled for the game between St Paul and Howard University in the stadium. Swanky costumes were featured by the maids and matrons. Smart suits of suede cloth were in evidence. Especially striking was one seen made of silvertone suede cloth with a stunning necklace collar of luxurious gray fox. The jacket was finger-tip length, the sleeve fullness at the shoulder was restrained but not eliminated. The skirt displayed a slight flare at the bottom to correspond with the lines of the jacket.
Blouses with high necklines could be seen peeping from under slightly open coats; many touches of angora were seen here and there, adding smartness to many frocks.

Were you complaining about traffic jams on your way to the home of Mr. and Mrs. O, W. McDonald, 4925 Blaine Street, Northeast? Terrible tie-ups, weren't they? And all because so many of the couple's friends were rushing out to wish "Esther (that's Mrs. McDonald) a speedy recovery from her recent illness. If she doesn't recuperate rapidly amid such beautiful surroundings, well—but she will.

One of the magnates that so often brings Dr. J. Tinsley flying from his Weldon, N.C. office to his Washington home, 122 S Street, Northwest, is his adorable granddaughter, Shirley Green. Pretty little Miss Shirley who has been visiting her grandmother since early fall, is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. William Green, of Petersburg, Va.
Do ask Mrs. Ethel K. Green, wife of Dr. Jesse Green, 405 Florida Avenue, to tell you about her recent trip to Canada. There is a certain charming manner the lovely lady has of using those "sparkling brown eyes" that completely captivates you. And you find yourself wishing her story had ten chapters instead of two.

Dou you see young Percy Pitts all tuxedoed up and everything walking off with his share of the limelight (and more too) at the rededication and eighteenth anniversary exercises of the Y.M.C.A. last Wednesday evening? And did Percy tell them what the Y means to boys? Too bad, if you didn't hear him.
What a beautiful bit of femininity is Baby Irma, daughter of Mr and Mrs. Fred Tucker. And how her subjects (mother, father, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles and even in-laws) worship their pretty queen! What strange commands she issues! (All in another language). And yet how her willing subjects (needing no interpreter) fly to do her bidding.

FOUR LEAF CLOVER CLUB
Word comes from New Orleans, La. that Miss Aubrey Brazier, niece of Dr. Joseph C. Brazier, 1801 First Street, Northwest, has been appointed to a position as teacher in the New Orleans public schools. Members of the younger set will remember Miss Brazier and her sisters, Melba and Marjorie as the summer guests of Dr. and Mrs. Brazier. And did the lovely ladies have a busy season? An evening at dinner and the theatre with slender Sylvia Mayo, outings at nearby beaches with various members of the New Orleans University Club, an afternoon with the Jolies (handsome Mr. and smiling Mrs.) 1325 T Street. An hour with (can't catalogue them all) but just must mention the evening at cards and dancing arranged for them by dainty Mrs. Brazier and the jolly Doctor. The tired but happy sisters finally left for New Orleans via Chicago and arrived just in time for petite Miss Aubrey to rush into her school room and receive a bow from her pretty Creole pupils.
If you had happened to tune in (over the telephone) on station 127 S (Mrs. E. T. Hawkins, the "bewitching Bonita") or station 1307 Girard (Mrs. W. H. Tate, the adorable Emma") you would have caught exclamations like these coming from various sections of the city: "You mean thing, you!" How could you ever treat me that way! "Why didn't you tell me?" And on and on, and so on. It seems that Mrs. Inez Cain, Elizabeth Jefferson, sister of Mrs. Tate, two vivacious New Yorkers slipped into Washington and out again and most of their friends got (not even a glimpse). Hence theire over the wire.
With graying locks just, oh so smart, isn't Mrs. Etta Lisenby too stunning in that natty blue fox-trimmed coat with all those soft gray waves peeping from beneath her new blue hat?
Mr. Noble Brooks, 724 Fairmont Street, noble young man about town is smiling again. The season? Somebody is recovering from an automobile accident. * * * *

HOLY
· FIVE
Quite a number of Howard coeds and their escorts attended the N.N.A. dance at the Masonic the other Friday night. From what I hear they all had a lovely time, even though they did have to punch 1 o'clock time.
It seems like old times on the campus to see Isabel Chisolm and Ray Wiggs conversing with friends in and around the main building.
The Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority was hostess to the freshman girls and new students at a kiddie party the other Saturday night. What a time those kids had, especially when Juliette Lane turned the place out with a "low-down" blues song.
Seems as if Adelaide (Delta) Charles has turned her back on the "hill-billies" and gone professional.
George (2C) Whitted has been seen several times in the library creating a lot of disturbance. Wonder if it's on account of that "long tall gal" from Long Island?
The Clark Hall Council is to be congratulated on giving the first dance of the season. The affair, which was Saturday night, proved to be a huge success. The freshman class was there in full force. The guests of honor were members of the St. Paul team, who defeated our boys, 13-12.
Kelly Goodwin and Clyde Howard spent the week-end in Steelton and Coatesville, Pa. That is why two D.C. young ladies were calling themselves grass widows.
Sal Hall and Marie Hall seem to be going places now-a-days.
Since Harriette Sawyer has been going places with a certain Alpha man, her "roomie" is not so hot on the idea. Did someone mention the fact about "old loves rekindling"? But the "roomie" doesn't know from nothing.
It seems so funny to see Sylvia Means in the company of that little sophomore, but Klatz Peyton doesn't seem to be paying anyone no mind but Helen Carper.

Instead of French toast, pineapple boast may be served: Dip slices of bread into a thin egg batter and fry or saute (saute simply means to cook in a small quantity of fat in a frying pan or on a griddle) until golden brown. Top with powdered sugar and crushed pineapple.
A teaspoon of baking powder added to mashed potatoes while mashing them makes them light and fluffy.
For creamed cauliflower, reheat boiled cauliflower, separated into flowerets, then put into white sauce. To make the sauce, melt 2 tablespoons butter, add 2 tablespoons flour mixed with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a dash of pepper; stir until well blended. Pour on milk gradually, while stirring constantly. Bring to a boiling point. Boil 2 minutes.
Chocolate Rice Pudding
For chocolate rice pudding, heat
2 cups milk. Add 1½ squares of
chocolate cut into small pieces. ½
teaspoon salt. ½ cup sugar. ¼ tea
spoon vanilla. Cook until chocolate
is well blended with other ingredi-
ents.
Moisten 1 tablespoon cornstarch
and stir well into mixture; add 2
cups cooked rice and pour mixture
into baking dish. Bake about 20
minutes. Serve with thin cream.
(Serves six or eight.)
Cream of Tomato Soup

of milk with 1 slice of onion, remove onion, and thicken milk with 4 tablespoons flours diluted with cold water until thin enough to pour, being careful the mixture is smooth. Cook 20 minutes in double boiler, stirring constantly at first. Cook 2 cups raw or canned tomatoes with 2 teaspoons sugar 15 minutes; add $ \frac{1}{4} $ teaspoon soda and rub through siege; add to milk Add $ \frac{3}{4} $ cup butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and $ \frac{1}{4} $ teaspoon pepper.
Hot Ginger Bread
To make the soft molasses gingerbread, put ¾ cup butter and 1 cup molasses in saucepan and cook until bolling point is reached. Add ¾ cup sour milk, 1 egg (well beaten) and following ingredients sifted together: 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons ginger, 1½ teaspoons soda, ½ teaspoon salt. Beat vigorously. Fill buttered small tins ¾ full, or a loaf pan. Bake 15 minutes in moderate oven (350° F.).
DINNER
Stuffed Breast of Veal
Roasted Potatoes
Baked Squash
Coffee
Apples and Cheese
Stuffed Breast of Veal with
Roasted Potatoes
Have a piece of breast of veal the size necessary for your family, and ask the butcher to cut a pocket in it. Fill the pocket with this dressing.
Cut dry bread into small cubes; put the cubes in a bowl. Add milk (about ¾ cup to several slices of bread) and 2 ½ cups tablespoons melted butter; stir; drop in raw eggs, one or two, depending on size of roast and your pocketbook; stir well.
Season with salt, pepper, tiny pinch of sage, and still tinier pinch of thyme, if you have them; add a small finely-chopped onion, a couple of sticks of chopped celery; a bit of chopped parsley if available.
Mix all together, add at bit more milk if it seems too dry, and fill pocket in meat. Don't pack tightly—allow for expansion. Seewet open side of meat with string in darning needle, or fasten with toothnicks or skewers.
If there's too much dressing put remainder in baking cups and bake with meat. Don't use too much herb—that's where the restaurants usually make a mistake. This same dressing, with the addition of walnuts or chestnuts, is excellent for stuffing fowl, too.
Grease the roaster so it will be easier to wash; put in meat and a cup or so of water. Cover and bake. It will take about an hour, depending on size. When meat has baked about 15 minutes put peeled potatoes to bake in same pan. Add water if necessary. Uncover pan to brown meat.
Baked Squash
The squash should be scrubbed.
(I have in mind the dark green-
skinned nubby kind), cut into large
pieces, buttered, salted, rubbed with
brown sugar, and baked in a pan.
It's not necessary to peel it.
A slice of lemon pie would be
great with this dinner, but if that's
out of sight cut red apples across
in circular slices, raw and unpeeled,
and spread with cream cheese.

Crawford Ordered Returned to Virginia to Face Trial
EIGHT
SUPREME COURT REFUSES REVIEW OF 2 SLAYINGS
Warrant for Extradition Already Filed with Attorney General
The last obstacle preventing the return of George Crawford to Virginia to face charges of slaying Agnes Boeing Ilsley, of Middleburg Va., and her maid, Nina Buckner,
TO HAVE N.A.A.C.P. COUNSEL NEW YORK.—When George Crawford, whose case was denied a review by the United States Supreme Court this week, is returned to Virginia to face trial on a charge of murder, he will be furnished counsel by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced here today by Walter White, the association's secretary.
both white, was removed when the U. S. Supreme Court denied a review of the case. The highest tribunal of the land denied a review of Crawford's appeal from the ruling of a Massachusetts Circuit. Court which held that he must be turned over to Virginia authorities for trial.
Pending a Year
Crawford had fought extradition through the Massachusetts courts, backed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. His case has been pending for almost a year. State's Attorney John Galleher, of Loudoun County, Va., in whose jurisdiction the murders were committed, said that he will take immediate steps to bring back the man for trial there. He predicted that Crawford would be in the hands of Virginia authorities before the end of the week. Trial will be in Loudoun County, which means the courthouse at Leesburg, Va., unless a petition is filed for change of venue on the possible ground that a fair trial could not be had in that county. No such petition is yet before the court.
Warrant for extradition has al-
rally been filed with the attorney
g. val of Massachusetts, Galleher
said.
"All we have to do now," he said,
"is go through the formality of
executing the warrant
At State Line
"My warrant names Sheriff E. S. Adrian and his deputy, D. H. Cooley, as the officers who will be delegated to bring Crawford back. They will go to Massachusetts and Crawford will be turned over to them at the state line by an officer of that state."
The Isley case is one of the most famous murders in Virginia history. The fight to prevent Crawford's extradition not only held up his trial for nearly a year, but also resulted in impeachment charges against Federal Judge James A. Lowell.
He refused to approve the extradition request on the ground that if the man were brought back to Virginia and tried the verdict would be upset and the case would go to the Supreme Court anyhow
No Hope for Fair Trial
Mrs. Isley, a member of the smart Middleburg hunting set and originally from Wisconsin, was murdered in her home on the night of January 13, 1931.
She and her maid were found dead the next morning by her brother, Paul Bocing.
Crawford was located in Boston a year later and held for extradition. On a writ of habeas corpus plea, Judge Lowell ordered his release in an opinion which said no Negro could hope for a fair trial in the Old Dominion.
His decision was reversed by the Superior Court, and a final appeal went to the Supreme Court.

Mme. Evanti and Clarence White Head Artists in Music Festival
Appreciative Audience Hears Walter D. Smith
Both are Natives of City and Have Scored in Field of Music
Mme. Lillian Evanti, Clarence Cameron White, and H. Lawrence Freeman have been announced as some of the leading attractions at a musicale sponsored by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, to be held on Monday evening. October 30.
This program will be held in connection with the annual meeting of the association which starts on October 29 and ends on November 1.
Native of Washington
Mme. Lillian Evanti, lyric soprano, is a native of Washington, the daughter of Bruce Evans, former principal of Armstrong High School. She has won during the past nine years distinguished success as an opera singer abroad. Mme. Evanti made her operatic debut in "Lakme" at the Casino in Nice, France. The next year she appeared with the Monte Carlo Symphony in Toulon. Since then her star has risen to brilliance in France and Italy. With the musical and social endorsement of Countess Maria Vanden Heuvel she was presented in England as the principal guest artist at a gala concert in Bath given in the honor of the Italian ambassador. She has toured America several times during her trips from abroad, but has not been heard in Washington for several years.
Noted Violinist
Clarence Cameron White, noted violinist and composer, is also a Washingtonian who has reached the heights in the music world. He is a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music and supplemented his study there with several years spent abroad as a private pupil of M. Zacharewitsch, the famous Russian violinist, and as a pupil in composition of Coleridge-Taylor. In 1928 Dr. White spent some time in Haiti collecting material for the composition of an opera. In 1930 he was awarded a fellowship by the Julius Rosenwald Foundation for two years in Paris to enable him to write his opera "Ouanga." For the excellence of this score, Dr. White was recently awarded the 'David Bisham Memorial Medal' by the American Opera Society. In the fall of 1932 he returned to America to become the director of the school of music at the Hampton Institute.
A third outstanding artist to appear on the program of "An Evening with Negro Musicians" is H. Law, encyclopedias Freeman, a composer of

Presented by Robert Thomas Murray III. in recital at Metropolitan M.E. Church last Thursday evening, Walter D. Smith, supported by Alanna Cozart, associate reader, and William Sherman Smith, pianist, seared a tremendous success. With Captain Arthur Newman, of the city schools smilingly greeting the patrons as they entered with high school cadets proudly ushering smartly dressed matrons, maidens and their attentive escorts to their proper place, with stately palms lending a note of elegance.
You somehow felt that this was to be an occasion of more than passing interest. And so it was! Promptly at the appointed hour Mr. Walter Smith appeared and in that instant you knew that before you stood an artist! A finished reader! What pathos, what tenderness in his initial number, "Rosa" (Italian D'lect). Long hours afterward you found yourself recalling "Hello-a Rosa." You laughed with him in "The Cremation of Sam McGee," you wept with him over his "Lost Lenore" in "The Raven," you sat spell-bound as he gave his magnificent interpretation of Shakespeare's "Othello."
And then you saw him garbed as a Holy man playing the part of "Daniel in "Thais" and opposite him you saw Alanna Cozart in the title role. And such a "Thais!" Surely, no more bewitching "Thais" has ever adorned a Washington stage, now proud, now penitent; now boasting, now pleading; now laughing, now crying, but always beautiful. A marvelous "Thais!" And then such music! Every number a poem!
But Mr. William Sherman Smith will be remembered also for his excellent rendition of Prelude, Op. 28, No. 13) (Chopin), "Minuet A L'Antico" (Seeboeck) and "Sonata, Op. 27, No. 2) (Beethoven).
And the evening was over but the memory will linger long.

GARFIELD SCHOOL MATRON RETIRED
The teachers of the Garfield School and the executive committee of the Home and School Association joined in a testimonial to Miss Ella Henson, matron of the school, who retired this month. The affair took the form of a luncheon and presentation given at the moon recess at the school. A. K. Savoy and J. C. Bruce represented the school officials, both highly praised by Miss Henson's faithfulness and devotion to duty. The principal, Miss E. P. Simmons, praised Miss Henson's interest in the general welfare of the school, and indicated that her services would be missed greatly. A letter of felicitation from W. H. Lewis, president of the Garfield Citizens' Association was read, and J. C. Bruce presented a lamp as a token of remembrance from the teachers.
Those present included the Rev. and Mrs. Harrison, of Allen Chapel; the Rev. and Mrs. Ward, of Emmanuel Baptist Church; Miss King, Mesdanes M. J. Lloyd, A. E. Ambush, J. E. Caldwell, M. V. Lewis, M. Y. Oden, and Messrs. Rose, Carroll and others.

Mrs. J. Mackell Dead
Mrs. Lottie Mackall, wife of the late John H. Mackall, died Monday night at her home, 841 Howard Road, Anacostia, after a long illness. Her husband was treasurer of Campbell Church until his death a year ago, and Mrs. Mackall for many years was one of the most faithful members of Allen Church, Garfield. She is survived by three sisters, one brother, a son, and a daughter. She was buried from Campbell Church Thursday, the Revs. J. M. Harrison and P. A. Scott officiating.
FRIDAY THE 13th RECRUITS A FEW JINX BELIEVERS
Friday the 13th was just another rainy day to many Washingtonians who thought that the superstitions connected with it should be tied up with the rest of the family sketons, but from others it gained many recruits as being a jinx day. Take the case of Mrs. Sadie Jackson, 35, of Halls Hill, Va., who was one of the first bad luck persons recorded in the District. She was treated at Freedmen's Hospital about 1:30 a.m., for injuries received in an automobile accident near her home. Ten stitches were taken in a laceration of the back and one in the elbow. Then there was Clemen Atkinson, 34, of 730 Eleventh Street, Northwest, a barber, who was struck by an automobile at Florida and Rhode Island Avenues. Five stitches were taken in his scalp and three in his face.
Auto Strikes Two
Two other persons had to receive hospital treatment when they were struck by a Hudson coach, bearing the license tag of N-766, driver unknown at the time of the accident, at Eighth and O Streets.
Ulysses Jackson, 32, of 1623 O Street, truck helper, received bruises of the left leg. Thomas Hodge, 32, of 1 Wiley Court, Northwest, who was also knocked down by the same coach, suffered lacerations of the left hand, bruises of the elbows and knees.
Mrs. Christina Collins, 20, of 503 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, was unfortunate enough to get a fishbone in her throat.
Knocked to Street
Struck by an unknown person and knocked to the pavement, Mrs. Dora Jones, 29, of 5107 Thirty-eighth Street, Northwest, suffered a laceration on the left side of the head.
Mrs. Edna Bohaney, 26, of 1227 Seventh Street, Northwest, will remember the day from a black, right eye, said to have been inflicted by a blow from a man she refused to name.
Charles Levi, 50, of 1 Waverly Court, Northwest, had five stitches taken in a scalp wound, which, according to hospital records, was inflicted with a pipe by William Nelson on T Street.
Then there is the case of Mrs. Alma Wilson, 24, of 905 V Street, Northwest, who fell while skating around the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. She suffered a lacerated wound of the lip.
Gives Two Names
There is some doubt of the proper name of another woman who was treated for several lacerations. She gave the names of Mrs. Ethel Douglas and Mrs. Jessie Nelson, 39, of 933 O Street, Northwest. Eight stitches were taken in wounds of the head and fingers of the left hand, which she refused to tell how she received.
Another person upon whom the jinx fell was Albert Buchanan, 27, of 811 M Street, an employee of the Emergency Relief, who claimed that he was cut on the right shoulder and over the right eye by Odessa Buchanan. He told police that he wanted to prosecute the woman who had cut him.
Benjamin Taylor, 30, of 1522 Caroline Street, Northwest, was unfortunate enough to run his auto into a brick wall on Sixteenth Street, between G and H Streets. Four stitches were taken in a lacerated wound of the right upper lip, and five were inserted in his right knee.
Struck with a bottle by a man she refused to name, Miss Birdie Williams, 31, of 621 Fairmont Street, Northwest, suffered a scalp wound and lacerations of the wrist and right thumb. Three stitches were taken in her scalp.
Miss Pearl Jasper, 23, of 1001 O Street, Northwest, who blames Harman Williams for striking her with a stick, received a laceration of the scalp.
Cook is Burned
While doing some cooking at his home, Frank Washington, 33, of 312 R Street, Northwest, received second-degree burns of the abdomen when grease spilled into the fire. He was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, where officers stated that he was under the influence of liquor. Washington was later transferred to Gallinger Hospital for further observation.
Seventeen-year-old James Medley, of 1627 Church Street, Northwest, injured his left arm when he fell on the side of a curb.
Falling off of a moving truck, Phillip Bruce, 14, of 16 O Street, Northwest, sprained his left ankle. Cut with a sharp instrument by a person she refused to name. Miss Marian Postell, 32, of 2452 George Avenue, Northwest, had three stitches taken in her left hand.

Ethel Waters to Star on New Radio Revue
Ethel Waters and George Beatty, a new and promising discovery among radio comedians, will be featured personalities of a new Sunday evening radio revue, to be launched over the WABC-Columbia network from 7 to 7:30 p.m., on October 22.
The songstress, who is currently receiving nightly ovations for her performances in the Broadway smash hit, "As Thousands Cheer," first attained stardom in the all-colored revue, "Blackbirds of 1928." She has been star of several Cotton Club revues and scored one of her greatest successes when she introduced the song. "Stormy Weather" at that popular Harlem rendezvous late spring.
Beatty, who will be master of ceremonies and comedian in the new series, is a newcomer to radio whose preliminary performances point to stardom among the comics of the air. Other program details, still in process of formation, will be announced at a later date. The programs will be sponsored by the American Oil Company.

"The Happy-Am-I-Preacher." Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux, and his singing congregation are presented at a later hour beginning with their broadcast of last Saturday. Heard previously over the WABC-Columbia network from 8:15 to 8:45 p.m., every Saturday, the program henceforth will be broadcast from 9 to 9:30 p.m., on the same evening.
This weekly program, which originates in Elder Michaux's church, started originally as a local morning feature of Station WJSV, Washington. Within a short time, it had attracted enough attention to interrupt the morning schedule of senators, milkmen, and cabinet members alike, and since then has won a nation-wide audience.

Noble Sissle and his band left Chicago after playing at an exclusive dance at the Bal Taborian room of the Hotel Sherman, for Louisville, Kentucky, where they begin an indefinite engagement in the Kentucky Hotel, the leading hotel in the blue grass city of Kentucky, where the band will play nightly. They will broadcast over one of the two national chains. It is said that this is the first time in the history of Kentucky that such an opportunity has been given colored musicians.
Irving Mills, under whose management are Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, and the Mills Blue Rhythm Band, has taken another band into his unit and will make its debut in New York. It is Benny (King) Carter, and his orchestra.
Cab Calloway, after finishing a tour of the country which lasted nearly nine months, sounded rather good on his return to the Cotton Club and the NBC airlines on October 4. The prince of 'hi-de-do' made a host of new admirers while on tour. He broke record attendances while in Chicago, the world's fair city, at a theatre and dance engagement.
Quite by accident, the Hall Johnson Singers introduced a new novelty in their Harlem Serenade heard over Columbia. Jester Hairston, tenor, was assigned to pinch-hit for William Bowers, fellow tenor, in a solo. But Bowers, through a misunderstanding, started singing the solo and left his pinch-hitter standing fat-footed before the microphone. "Then, by jove," says Hairston, "that man Bowers forget the words and I had to finish the song." That's one time when two boys did a solo.

Henry Plummer, for 41 years a part-time porter at Brown's Corner, Seventh and T Streets, was promoted to full-time clerk this week, according to a letter Philip Brown, proprietor of the store, wrote to President Franklin Thorne, of the New Negro Alliance, Wednesday.
Alliance members called on the store owner several weeks ago and pointed out that he was in an exclusive Negro neighborhood and ought to employ a colored clerk.
from Mr. Brown by the Alliance: "As an expression of my attitude in regard to the work being done by the New Negro Alliance, I am promoting Henry Plummer from the job of porter and part-time clerk to the full-time job as clerk, hiring in addition a porter to do that menial work which he used to do." President Thorne pointed out that he and his organization advocated buying at Negro places of business, but when this was impossible to trade at stores that employed Negroes in other than menial positions.
STRESSES NEED FOR BOYS' CLUB
STRESSES NEED FOR BOYS' CLUB
Says 75 Per Cent of Juvenile Delinquency is Among Colored
A marker, need for a colored boys' club in the vicinity of Seventh and Q Streets. Northwest, was recently reported by John L. Lyons, of the Department of Juvenile Probation. "About seventy-five per cent of our juvenile delinquents are colored," Lyons said. "A boy's club in that neighborhood would help to end a high delinquency rate. The work of such clubs have already been recognized in the decline of juvenile delinquency in neighborhoods where there are such orzanizations.
"If a boy has a place to go and occupy his time he will not make any effort to join the gang that hangs out on the corner." It is the boy without work and without funds that resort to petty crime for a means of excitement. If there were a boy's club in the neighborhood where the lad could go and find various ways of amusing himself he would be content with the excitement offered by the club." Although there are several boys' clubs in Washington they are at great distances from the heart of the colored neighborhood and it is almost impossible for the boys in the vicinity of Seventh and Q Streets to avail themselves of the facilities offered by the various boys' clubs. Mr. Lyons said.

Boy, Confined to Bed for 5 Years Ambitious to Become Musician
Crippled Patient at Children's Hospital Anxious to Lead Orchestra; Wins Prize of $1 for Writing Short Humor Skit for Publication
Although he has been confined to a bed or wheel chair for the past five years, in the tubercular ward at Children's Hospital, Wilbur Ferguson, 14-year-old boy, dreams of the day when he will be the leader of an orchestra and blaze a name for himself in the musical world.
Wilbur's legs are twisted and bent. At 14 he is unable to walk or play like other lads his age, but must spend all of his time either in a wheel chair or in bed. Doctors say it is doubtful whether he will ever walk yet he does not consider orchestra of my own," replied Wilbur when questioned as to his plans for the future, "but I guess that won't be for a long time yet 'cause I have to get well first.
"It's almost as nice as being home to be here in the hospital. There are four of us here in my ward and I am the oldest so I look after the others. I don't know where the money comes from to take care of us kids here in the hospital but I am sure glad that they do it because I don't suppose I'd ever get well if I stayed at home."
When it was explained to Wilbur that the Children's Hospital is but one of the sixty three agencies that are supported by the Community Chest, Paul quickly retorted.
"I am sure glad that Washington people give money to the Chest so that it can help a lot of sick kids like me. I want to get well and go out and have my own orchestra and then I will give my money to the Chest too that they can help other poor little kids get well."

Eight men sentenced to die in the electric chair at the District Jail, this month, after being convicted on first degree murder charges have been granted stays of execution and the sentence of a ninth has been commuted to life imprisonment, according to information from the office of Thomas J. Rivers, superintendent of the jail. Joe Goodmen and George Pitman, who were scheduled to have gone to the chair Tuesday morning for the murder, last New Year's Day, of a watchman at Dickey's feed store, had their date of execution moved up to December 22. The reprieve was granted by the District Supreme Court.
Leonard Layton, who, with Charles Washington and William C. Robinson, was convicted of the murder of Mannie Soloman, a taxi driver, will pass the rest of his days in prison. He was given a commutation by the President after the evidence adduced showed that Layton was walking away from the scene before the fatal shooting of the taxi driver occurred. Robinson and Washington will go to the chair on the first day of December.
The slayers of Milo Kennedy, park policeman, who was clubbed to death in Logan Circle, last August, will die on November 29, instead of tomorrow (Friday) morning. Those to die are Joseph Jack- Ralph E. Holmes, and Irving
the execution date of James H. Lowery has been advanced to November 14; E. H. Bolden and Ben Montague will go to the chair on January 5.
Cross-Cut Saw Wounds Man at Lincoln Park
Jacob Sanders, of Lincoln Park, Md., met with a very severe accident on last Thursday evening while sawing wood. A tooth that had been broken from the saw a few minutes before was placed on a wedge lying on the log on which Sanders was working. He is said to have struck the wedge with a heavy sledge, causing the wedge to fly with such force that it penetrated deeply into his leg. He was taken to Casualty Hospital by the ambulance from the Glendale Volunteer Fire Company, where it is reported the saw tooth cannot be removed until after the wound has healed, permitting an operation from the opposite side from the point of entrance.
WOMAN DRINKS POISON
Swallowing a small quantity of iodine, Miss Mildred Pickens, 25 of 1416 Columbia Street, Northwest, was treated at Freedmen's Hospital, last week. Miss Pickens was discharged as being out of danger after half an hour's treatment.
Although he has been confined to a bed or wheel chair for the past five years, in the tubercular ward at Children's Hospital, Wilbur Ferguson, 14-year-old boy, dreams of the day when he will be the leader of an orchestra and blaze a name for himself in the musical world.
1
Wilbur's legs are twisted and bent. At 14 he is unable to walk or play like other lads his age, but must spend all of his time either in a wheel chair or in bed. Doctors say it is doubtful whether he will ever walk yet he does not consider this a hardship and smiles at visitors and tell of the day when he will lead his orchestra in the great musical centers and thrill audiences just like Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington.
Wilbur is very happy at the hospital and only last week he received a check for $1 from a national publication for a short humor skit which he had submitted in a contest. So, his long stay at the hospital has not affected his sense of humor.

RECEIVERS FIGHT $7,498 TRANSFER TO VIRGINIANS
Contend That Funds Are Under the Jurisdiction of Local Courts
Efforts of the Virginia receivers of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company to collect a total of $7,498.53 from any funds in the possession of the District of Columbia receivers, Gilbert A. Clark and Frank B. Bryan, met with opposition here, last week, when the latter through their attorneys filed a motion asking the District Supreme Court to dismiss the petition.
Leon M. Bazile and W. H. Cardwell the Virginia receivers, were recently granted permission by the local court to intervene in the litigation involving the defunct insurance company. They requested the court to return to them a total of $3,829.93, premiums collected, and $3,669.50, deposits made by the Virginia agents as evidence of good faith.
Cites Five Reasons
In opposing the request, the District receivers cited the following reasons, supported by points of law, why the petition should be dismissed:
1—The petition does not entitle the petitioners to any relief at law or equity; 2—The petition seeks to transfer assets in possession of a domiciliary receivership to an ancillary receivership; 3—There is no issue that the claims set forth in the petition cannot be presented in this case by the creditors; 4—The petitioners are not the proper persons to present in this case the claims set forth in the petition. Jonathan C. Gibson, local attorney for the Virginia receivers, has been notified that he has five days or more, if the court grants, to oppose the motion to dismiss the suit.
Colored Deaths Top Whites First Week
The appalling disparity between the colored and white death rate for the week ending October 7 makes evident the necessity for increased vigilance by the District health agencies.
Numbering approximately one-third of the general population, the colored group had 71 deaths, to 63 for the whites, according to the weekly statistical statement just released by Dr. William C. Fowler, District health officer. The rate per 1,000 per annum for colored was given as 26.9; the whites at 9.2. For a corresponding period last year it was, colored, 18.6; white, 10.0.
Births, numbering 114, exceeded the deaths by 43. There were 139 white births.
The disease exacting the greatest toll during the stated week was heart disease with 23 victims. Sixteen whites died with this allmont. Apoplexy and pneumonia claimed 3 persons each; nephritis and pneumonia were credited with 2 each. There were 3 homicides and 2 auto fatalities among the total number recorded. The population of the District is: colored, 317,000 whites, 358,
School Enrollment Increased by 1,225
Despite a slight decrease in the number of students in the high schools, the enrollment in the District colored schools totals 30,551, which is an increase of 1,225 as compared with the corresponding date of last year, according to figures secured from the office of Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent. Wednesday.
Armstrong High School has 1,590 enrolled, an increase of 26 over the past year; Cardozo has 64, a decrease of 4, and Dunbar has 1,578, a decrease of 97.
There are 24,237 students enrolled in the elementary and junior high schools, 939 more than they had last year. The vocational schools have 761 enrolled, an increase of 173.

Howard Mentors Who Guide Freshman Women
THE WOMEN'S CLUB
Mentors are senior women chosen in the spring term of their junior year for the purpose of assisting the dean and her staff in welcoming and guiding the freshman women. They are chosen on the basis of character and personality and given a brief but intensive period of training in the spring preceding their senior year. Each mentor draws for the names of freshmen whom she is asked to guide through the year and assignments are officially announced at a formal ritual service where each mentor is definitely charged with the responsibility of guiding one or more freshman girl.
with the responsibility of getting on with the beautiful traditions growing out of the mentor-freshman program is the annual breakfast in Rock Creek Park which the seniors give for the freshmen. They roast weinners and marshmallows on the open fire, sing Howard songs, and listen to talks by senior women on what a Howard woman is

many activities carried on during
the past year and gave evidence of
the effective leadership of the retiring president.
Children Aided
The Student Aid Committee supplied a large number of needy children with shoes and clothing. The success of this committee was due in a large measure to the activities of Mrs. Helen Wills, who organized a "Needle Work Guild" at the school. This organization through Mrs. Wills obtained a number of ready garments from the Red Cross Society. Under the guidance of Mrs. Janie Chatman these garments were made up by the members of the guild at the school and given to children who were out of school because of lack of clothing.
The association spent more than $30 during the year for milk and crackers for the underweight children. In addition to the milk and cracker luncheon, fifty children were served hot and day luncheon daily. The following women served these luncheons: Mrs. Ida White, Mrs. Lottie Barnes, Mrs. Mary Wheeler, Mrs. Mayme Clarke, Mrs Pearl Manning, Mrs. Mary Griffin, Miss Pisa Manning, and Mrs. Martha Manning, chairman.
Officers for Year
The officers of the association for the current year follow: Mrs. Martha Manning, president; Joseph Ward, vice-president; Mrs. E. B. Harris, secretary; J. F. N. Wilkinson, treasurer; and the Rev. John McCoy, chaplain.

Alliance Member Speaker
Leon Brown, a member of the New Negro Alliance, outlined to the association the aims and purposes of the organization he represented and asked that the body support the work of the Alliance in securing jobs for Negroes in stores which are largely patronized by colored persons. Future meetings of the association may be held in the First Baptist Church, Lamont Street and Sherman Avenue, since the Community Center in a communication stated that the association would have to pay for janitor service in school buildings. The cost for such service is 56 cents per hour and must not exceed four hours. It was pointed out by members that meetings could be held at the church for much less. A report on a new meeting place will be made before the November meeting.
Opposed to Leaving District
The meeting was advised that a number of civic groups were holding meetings at Garnet-Patterson School and since several meetings were held at one time the cost to each group was considerably reduced. However, it was pointed out that the school was out of the Pleasant Plains' district and members were opposed to holding meetings out of the boundary of the association.

BOARD TO FILL VACANCIES WITH TUTORS ON LEAVE
Special Committee Reports on Dual Employment Problems
A policy regarding the application for reinstatement made by teachers who have resigned in order to prevent the dismissal of their husbands under the Personnel Reduction Act, was voiced by the District School Board, Wednesday, in its approval of a report on the subject submitted by a special committee on Multiple Employment.
Following another report by the same committee, the board also voted to discourage teachers from engaging in major professions outside of school hours, during the current period. The superintendent, Dr. Frank W. Ballou, was instructed not to issue permits to any teachers for this purpose.
In studying the problem presented by the dual employment situation, the special committee considered three types of cases. First, restatement of teachers on leave who are still employees of the Board of Education; second, reappointment of teachers whose resignations have been accepted by the board; third, appointments from a rated list of persons never previously employed by the board.
The first group covers cases of teachers on leave on account of illness, for educational purposes, or for maternity reasons. They are not on the pay-rolls of the board, but are still employed by it. The established order in filling vacancies gives such persons precedence after resignation or appointment over those seeking reappointment from the rated lists. The expressed attitude of the board in handling these cases is to follow precedence, although the husband or wife may be employed in government service.
The second type considered concerns the reappointment of teachers after they have severed their connection with the school system. The committee report set out that each applicant in this group had been requested to secure from the government department in which her husband works a statement indicating whether the policy had changed since the wife resigned in order to save the husband's job.
Loss of Jobs Threatened
That disapproval of dual employment still exists in the government departments is the existing situation, according to the report. In some instances, it was said, the responses to the queries were to the effect that the services of the husband would be immediately terminated if the teachers were reappointed.
The committee stated that the (Continued on page 10)

Pelham, William Burruss, and Medames Hilda Lisbon, Georgia Polk, Amanda Hinton, Sarah Turner, Della Washington, Hattie Battles, Ellen Payne, Ena Lyles, Nettie Madison, Olive Morris, Louise Pinkney, Viola Lee, Mary Eailey, and Willie C. Burruss.
Thursday morning, Mrs. Pelham was invited to attend a general meeting of the secretaries of the Community Center Department at the center offices in the Franklin Building, and at noon, led by Mrs. Elizabeth K. Peeles, general director of the Community Center, the party was ushered into the board room, where Mrs. Pelham became the guest of honor at a luncheon arranged for under the direction of Mrs. A. J. Driscoll and Mrs. Ella Johnson, Community Center secretaries.
After the luncheon was served, Mrs. Pelham was presented with a travelling bag by Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools, on behalf of "appreciative associates" in the Community Center Department.
BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
STARDUST
By EDWARD LAWSON
WHAT HAS HAPPENED When Nita Alden, night club entertainer, marries a "Marquis" and quits her job, Marling Grant's star attraction, beats her night sensation. When Nita divides her husband and comes back to work; Starling becomes a movie star. She falls in love with Rob Berry, Harlem columnist, who seems to attract all women to him. Rob asks her to marry him, but the whole affair is called off when he finds her alone with Phil Harlan, president of the film company for which she is working.
Earl Grange, a young song writer, falls in love with her and asks her to marry him, but she refuses because she feels that she still loves Rob, in pite of all the grief he has caused her. Phil writes a song, "Dreamy Blues," which Starling turns into a hit. The two are offered a contract to sing daily over a national radio chain. Now go on with the story:
CHAPTER XI
"Dusky Sweethearts of the AirWaves!"
Starling smiled as she read the caption above the picture that adorned the radio page of one of New York's largest newspapers. But the smile turned to a slight frown of worry as she read the few lines of explanation underneath:
"Earl Grange, noted song-writer, and Starling Grant, equally famous blues singer, who are said to be as devoted to each other in real life as in the make-believe of their daily network programs."
It was nothing to worry about, she told herself; merely press-agent propaganda. But it did worry her, because it wasn't wholly true. Earl was in love with her—of that much she was certain—but did she love him?
Their work kept them together a large part of the time—arranging new songs, rehearsing them, appearing before the microphone each day—but they tacitly agreed that work and pleasure should not be allowed to mix. Earl was free to call on her at any time after their day's work was done—but only on those nights when she was not expecting Rob.
For Rob, mad courtesan that he was, had swung back once again to her.
Tonight he was coming, to see her. She let the paper drop to the floor as she heard footsteps outside the door of her apartment, followed by the sharp tingle of the bell.
Jumping up, she took a last look at herself in the mirror, fluffed up her hair, and went to open the door.
Rob stepped in, smiling, threw his hat upon the rack in the hallway, and caught her into his arms. After a long kiss they went into the parlor. Starling stooped to pick up the newspaper which she had been reading, but Rob beat her to it.
"Your picture!" he commented, smiling as he looked at it.
"Dusky Sweethearts of the Air Waves!" he read aloud. Then to himself: "... said to be as devoted to each other in real life as in the make-believe of their daily network programs. . . ."
He turned to her, a puzzled frown clouded his face.
"Is that true, Star?" he asked.
She shook her head.
"It's only press-agent stuff," she said. "It doesn't mean anything."
Rob was not completely reassured. "Are you sure," he insisted, "that you're not in love with this song-writer."
"Not even a little bit, Rob," she told him. "You ought to know that by now. Through all these years—in spite of everything—I've never loved anyone but you."
He sat down on the sofa beside her and was silent a moment, thinking.
"I'm thoroughly ashamed of myself, Star," he said finally, "for the way I've treated you these last few months, . . ."
She smiled.
"Don't apologize. Rob," she begged. "Just—kiss me."
He did.
Later they went for a drive, and Rob parked his car along the deserted highway beside the sluggish Harlem River so that they could talk.
"We've planned this marriage twice already, haven't we?" he laughed, after kissing her.
"We certainly have," Starling smiled regretfully. "But this time, Rob," she pleaded, "let's make it real."
"Of course we will, honey. I'll see my boss about a vacation and we'll start off on our honeymoon as soon as it can be arranged."
Eagerly, then, they laid new plans for the often-deferred wedding.
At midnight they started homeward. Starling was eager to get to bed, as her contract required her to be at the broadcasting company's studios at nine each morning for rehearsal.
Rob left her at the door to her apartment after a lingering goodnight kiss.
"I'll call you up," he promised, "as soon as everything is arranged. Maybe, even, later on tonight ...."
Leisurely, Starling began to prepare herself for bad. Half way through, she was startled to hear the door-bell ring. Drawing a wrap hastily about her, she went to the door and opened it cautiously.
"Earl!" she cried, recognizing the hulking dark figure at once.
"Hello, Star. Mind if I drop in for a minute? I've got a lot of news to tell you—good news!"
She smiled happily. "Come right in, Earl, and have a seat. I'll get into some clothes." She hurried to her bedroom and returned a moment later in a flowered bathrobe. "Now, she said, 'what's up?'
.

"First of all I've got a new song—it just came to me this evening—and I want you to try it out for me. The words are perfect, but the music a little shaky. I thought that if you'd sing as much as I've done already, we could work out the rest without much trouble."
"I don't mind," Starling smiled. "What's the second?"
Earl reached into his pocket and drew out a folded paper.
"It's a contract" he said, "that I want you to look over."
"Contract? For what?"
"For a European tour, honey! It'll make us famous overnight!"
"Oh," Star said.
"What's the matter?"
"Except the Rob and I are planning to get married."
"Again!!" Rob's face clouded.
Starling nodded her head "Yes," she said. "But this time it's really coming off."
"Then—then I guess Europe's out?"
"Unless Rob would let me—"
Olness Rob would let me "No." Earl earlied any suic. idea. "I wouldn't ask Rob to do a thing like that." Starling, silent, walked across the room to the piano. "Let's try the new song," she suggested, changing th. subject. "All right." Earl sat down on the piano stool and let his fingers run lightly over the keys. With deft smoothness he played, and under his expert touch the new blues melody blossomed 'into life.' Starling sa- and as the song took form Earl sketched in the missing notes. At last the job was finished. "Grand!" Earl Smiled. "Now let's try the whole thing over again. Just once more."
They were half way through when the telephone, standing on a little taboret beside the piano, rang. Starling's heart skipped a beat. Who would be calling her at this time of the morning? She looked hastily at the clock on the mantelpiece. It was two-thirty. She reached for the telephone.
But Earl, without thinking, had already answered it.
"Hello," he said.
There was a long, startled pause at the other end of the wire. Starling reached over quickly and took the receiver away from Earl.
"Hello," she said.
"Star?"
"Yes."
"This is Rob. I was calling to tell you that I'd arranged about that vacation. But it looks as though you've got a little explaining to do, first of all."
"I mean, who was the man who answered the phone just now?" Starling thought quickly, but there seemed no way of escape from her predicament. Her only hope seemed to be in telling Rob the truth, and hoping that he would believe her.
"It was Earl Grange. Rob," she said. "He came up here to try out a new song. I've been helping him with it."
"At two o'clock in the morning?" There was a sneer in Rob's voice. "You don't expect me to swallow that, do you?" "But it's true, Rob. I swear it's true."
There was a long, agonizing pause. When at last Rob spoke again his voice held unconcealed bitterness.
"I forgave you, Star," he said, "the night I found you kissing Jimmie Marks, out by the Hudson palisades, and I forgave you a second time when I found you alone with Phil Harlan in his office. But this—"
"Ooh, Rob!" she cried. I haven't done anything wrong—"Tears came into her eyes.
"Never; mind the sobbing," Rob said harshly. "I'm through with you after this—for good! I should have known what you were in the first place, a common, low—"
There was a vicious click at the other end of the wire. Starling found herself holding a dead receiver. Weekly she let it crash to the floor. Her legs crumpled beneath her.
Earl caught her before she fell, and laid her limp body tenderly on the living-room sofa. Running to the kitchenette, he brought water and smelling salts with which to revive her.
CHAPTER XII.
Next morning, on her way to the studios for rehearsal, Starling bought a paper and, as was her custom, turned first of all to Rob's column. As the taxicab hurried her downtown through the streets of lower Harlem, she scanned it quickly. A brief item, tucked away in the center, arrested her attention:
"Those rumors linking the names of Starling Grant and Earl Grange, 'dusky sweethearts of the airwaves,' must be true, else why should the two hold their 'rehearsals' in the lady's apt, and in the early hours of the dawning?"
Starling read the little paragraph over and over again. She could hardly believe that Rob would do a thing like this to her. It was spite—pure and inexcusable. It was the last thing in the world a man would do to the girl he loved...
Somehow, as the taxi sped through the crowded streets, her whole conception of Rob seemed to change. She saw him now for the first time in his true light, and all the love, all the affection she once had held for him seemed to
that she had not gone through with the marriage. * * * *
Earl greeted her as she entered the broadcasting studies. He had lots of things to talk about.
"First, about this European contract," he said. "What shall I do with that? Shall I tell Sam Freeman that we can't accept it now, but possibly later, or shall I simply let it go?"
"Why not accept it, Earl?" she suggested
"But Star, honey, they wouldn't want me—without you."
"I'll go along."
"You mean—Rob will let you?"
"What has Rob got to do with it?"
"Then—" Earl's face clearly revealed his astonishment—"then you aren't going to marry him right away?"
Starling shook her head slowly.
"I'm never going to marry Rob," she said, measuring her words, "if I can help it."
"I've decided. Earl, that I want to get away from Harlem. I want to get away from everything that'll remind me of—him. I want to forget him—forget him completely as though he had never come into my life."
"Then we could go to Europe—together?"
She smiled. "I'd love that," she said. Earl grinned in happiness, but then his face clouded. "What's the matter?" Starling asked.

He forced a smile.
"Nothing," he said. "Only I'd always hoped that when we went to Europe together, it would be our—our honeymoon. I still love you, Star, and I still want to marry you..." Starling stepped close to him and he put his arms about her.
"Earl," she said softly, "I discovered something this morning. I discovered that, through all these months. I've never really loved Rob Berry. I simply wanted him—because so many other women wanted him—because I couldn't have him. And I discovered that, although I never seemed to realize it. I've been in love with you all the time..." "Darling!"
"I'm so glad," Starling sighed, "that I found out—before it was too late."
"And so am I." Earl smiled, bending to kiss her lips... THE END.

Chols Seys
Mr. Chols
And so we'll start down by the old Casino and now let's see what's doing. Just a reminder about the monster masquerade Tuesday, October 31, from nine till three; fifty cents; Bill Baldwin and His Playboys. Come early and save a dime. The Black and White Circle Club, Inc. Need we say more?
And now we hear about Brother Green's dream. He saw the number. That dear brother had the number, but he did not have anything to play it with. Hence a nightmare.
Dear Mr. Chols, please tell me how to make a pumpkin pie. Signed, Housewife.
Dear Housewife, really I don't know, but am sure that if you will write to Mr. Shaw the chef at Howard, he will tell you. But I am certain you use something else besides water, dough and pumpkin.
The long and short of dance promoting—Dizzy and Alonzo.
And so, dear reader, the real good Beverly am still wondering where the real good Ollie was coming from. Mean old taximan.
And now getting back to the Casino—Freck and Dick of the Smarter Set is in no way connected with the Beaux Arts, but they are asking you to send in your names so that you may get an invitation to their opening dance to be held at the Casino in the near future.
Dear Mr. Chols, my landlord raised my rent. What should I do?—Signed, Bankrupt.
Dear Bankrupt, you should send him a letter of thanks because I have been trying to raise mine for a year.
Dear Mr. Chols, I am thinking about getting married. Do you think two can live as cheaply as one?—Signed, Lovesick.
Dear Lovesick, two can live as cheaply as one as long as you are just thinking about it. But, Stupid, you don't know from nothing.
Did you know that when your girl tells you she knows you like a book, that she is about to put you on the shelf. And that a lot of people cannot eat peas because they roll off the knife; and that the big fish in the ocean live off sardines but we don't know how they get the cans open.
And Bill Praitham am still riding. And so am Frank Jones. But there is still a chance for skates.
Miss Jeanett Colin was a new member present last Thursday night and also Clarence Street. And believe it or not Mr. George Lee who is seventy-four years old, was there and did he miss a dance—he did not.

Negroes of Houston Plan for Municipal University
HOUSTON, Texas. — (ANP)—The Board of Education of the Independent School District of Houston, Texas, is organizing an appeal to the Public Works Administration for grants and loans to erect a city university for Houston. This school board is also including an item for a colored branch of this university system.
Some eight or more sites have been offered as a donation by the white citizens as a location for the white university. Negro committees are busy in an attempt to locate a desirable site on which to establish the Negro division of this municipal university.
Houston is the only city in the Deep South with a municipal junior college for Negroes operated under the auspices of the City Board of Education. If the present program materializes, Negroes of Houston will be far ahead of the brethren in the other Southern states, so far as municipally provided college and university training are concerned.

Taking advantage of a glaring weakness against acerial play, on the part of the Howard Bisons, the St. Paul Institute eleven pried the lid off the capital's collegiate gridiron hot-pot by subduing the local machine in a 13-12 Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association inaugural here, at Walker Stadium, last Saturday afternoon. Approximately 500 persons witnessed the performance.
Leading by a score of 12-6, as the game went into the waning minutes, the Blue and White aggregation saw the decision grabbed from its clutches as the visiting vanguard resorted to heaving passes. Three tisses carried the pigskin from the St. Paul 32-yard line to a touchdown in the closing three minutes of play.

Outplayed throughout the first three periods, the Virginia outfit took to the air as a final gesture against impending defeat. And the strategy worked.
Much of the credit for the victory, however, should go to the educated toe of Jones, St. Paul halfback, whose kicking was one of the outstanding features of the pastime. After a punt average of 58 yards, Jones's performance for the game was climaxed by his successful boot from placement for the extra point margin of victory.
It was the first public glimpse of Coach Tom Verdell's 1933 Hilltop machine, and the consensus of opinion seemed to be that the locals might have done a much better job considering the material the Howard sound boasted.
Williams, Sewell and Hollowman formed a trio of ground-gaining consistency and the work of the Bison flanks. Osley and Chandler, was especially noteworthy.

The other pass, with Milton doing the tosling, went outside of the Howard 28-yard ribbon. Milton took off 2 yards through the right guard of the Howard Wall, but the same amount of distance was lost as a St. Paul lateral was grounded. Jones's punt went over the Bison goal line. Sewell got 3 yards on a plunge at the visiting left tackle, and Johnson, on his first ground-gaining play of the game, knocked 3 yards at right tackle. Jones's punt went over the Bison goal line.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1933
MORGAN TRAMPLES UNION BY 25-0
MORGAN TRAMPLES UNION BY 25-0
By RICHIE C. KELLER
RICHMOND, Va.—A running rampage combined with an air bombardment from the blast of the starting whistle to the report of the final gun enabled a ball toin' Bear aggregation, with Conrad, Sturgis, Troupe, Wilson and Simpson in the van to overwhelm a faltering Panther eleven, 25 to 0, Saturday, October 14, in the flood-lighted arena of Mayo Island, and to thus advance another step in retaining the C.I.A.A. grid crown.
The only serious local threat came in the second half.
While a rabid throng rent the night air with a fervent "Score, Union, score!" plea, Poole, versatile Union end, went back to the 10-yard line to get Morgan's kickoff and romped rough shod through the advancing Bears for 44 yards before Simpson, successor to Conrad, brought him down. But the threat ended when Poole could get no help in the ball carriers of the Panthers, and Union rooters' "advance" plea changed to a "Hold Morgan!" cry.

Tigers to Drink Home-made Water on Chicago Sojourn
TUSKEEGE INSTITUTE, Ala.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
The Twelfth Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association is about to come in for some long overdue commendation for the noble efforts it has put forth in the interest of the colored youth of the national capital. Especially noteworthy is the amount of energy the local institution has spent in the physical development of the boys and young men of the race
Completed in 1908 after a long hard struggle to finance it, that it would not be lost to black Washington, the building was opened in the interest of the mental, physical and moral development of youth. In the 25 years of its existence the colored branch of the international institution has lived up to all it has promised, and has set up a standard for non-scholastic education that is not likely to be paralleled by any other single agency in the history of our present generation.
As we have to do with the athletic phase of the Y.M.C.A.'s mission, it is toward that branch of its work that our attention should naturally turn. True enough there have been many failures in the programs of the local colored association, but I dare say these have not been more in number than can be attributed to any of the other branches of the huge institution over the same period.
A long list of physical directors include some of the most important names in the race's athletic field. Most of these men were successful, some met with only mediocre results, and still others failed—as it should be.
Those whose success was only indifferent were handicapped by conditions which were far from normal. The absence of money for suitable equipment and accessories had much to do with the lack of progress during the terms of some of these men, while the inability to adjust themselves to the unusual conditions at the Twelfth Street Branch contributed to the mediocrity of the stay of some others. The men who failed can probably point to the fact that they, for some unaccountable reason, became unpopular with the bands of rowdies (yours truly was among them) who at various intervals made the Y.M.C.A. their hang-out.
Running down the list of former Y.M.C.A. physical department heads we find among them such names as Beckett, Wheeler, Bowers, Aiken, Brock, Ross, West, Young, Simmons, Payne, Webb, and Donehy. Today some of these same men stand in the limelight as heads of our leading educational institutions. Hughes, Howerton, Walker and Chambers are among the former swimming instructors at the Twelfth Street building.
Without stopping to try to remember when Arthur A. Greene, the present physical director, first came to the Y.M.C.A. athletic department, nor to investigate the length of his term of office, this pillar is going on record as saying that things have been going along very nicely under his supervisor. Greene has proved himself capable beyond a reasonable doubt in that he has never, since the writer has known him and followed his activities, been without a program that could boast of snice, development and variety, three elements so essential in the operation of athletics.
In addition to the football league his department is now sponsoring, the Y physical instructor has not let a year pass (during the past five) that a basketball league of some kind has not been in progress on the Twelfth Street Branch court. Consistent to his practice of offering something new, Greene is contemplating a Church League for the 1933-34 season.
All in all then, it makes no difference how much the Y.M.C.A. goes about the business of rededicating, remodelling, repainting, etc., so long as it does not make any changes in its policies of the past.
The sand-lot football teams got off to a flying start, Sunday. Six of the eight teams were in action. St. Cyprian journeyed to Green Valley, Va., to defeat Georgetown, 27-0. Anacostia downed the Monarchs, 6-0, on the Anacostia Field, while Ebenenezer trounced the Teddy Bears, 26-0, on the Monument Grounds.
At a meeting at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., the League Committee arranged the following schedule:

YELLOW-JACKETS DEFEAT LORTON
By JOHN McGRUDER
The Washington Yellow Jackets, who won the District grid title in 1931 and 1932, while playing under the name of the Pleasant Plains A.C., opened their 1933 campaign for supremacy by toppling the strong Lorton Reformatory aggregation, 19 to 0. Sunday.
The five car loads of club members who accompanied the Jackets were much pleased at the victory, but Coaches Lee and Gray seemed a bit apprehensive over the showing of their proteges. Seems to me like the boys will be in for a strenuous week of practice after that showing.
The scoring was done in approved fashion by Big Barnes, Big Red Fields, and Chang Warren, who each scored a touchdown in the second, third, and final periods, respectively. Captain Armstrong, who shared honors with Jim Gray in returning punts, added the extra point following the score of Fields. Gray's kick from placement was wide and a pass was grounded to discount the other two extra points. Lorton put up a great battle, but was powerless against the formidable defense thrown up by the Yellow Jacket forward wall. Outstanding in the line were "the long and short of it"-Slim Thomas, six-and-a-half-foot end, and Chisley, four-foot guard, formerly pastiming with the Ebenezer crew.
Having been refused games with local teams, the Yellow Jackets again issue challenges to out-of-town teams, particularly those teams located in Alexandria, Virginia, and Baltimore. Challenges may be answered through The Tribune or directly to the team during practice each evening at Sixth and W Streets, Northwest.
Tiger Williams Outpoints Kid Baker in Ten Rounds

Sam's Scripts
Baseball goes "the way of all flesh" this Sunday. The good old national pastime, like the proverbial drowning man and the last straw, fights back at the impending doom furnished by the arrival of the fall season and its sport. Its efforts, gradually becoming more feeble, will be wrapped in one final gesture, Sunday, when the Colesville Tigers, reluctant to give up, enlist the services of the Hillsdales, hired gunmen of the LeDroit Park haunts, in an attempt to stand off the challenge of football in the last stanza of the summer sport.
The 'Dales will be compelled to lift their fire-arms from the cedar-lined moth chest—or is it moth-lined cedar chest—to fill the assignment, but it is believed they will do just that. They have as much against football as the Tigers. They don't like it either, except to look at.
"Foeder, fo-gif dem, foy no not what dey do . . ."
There were about 24 starters in the District Amateur Golf Tournament, held on the Lincoln Memorial Golf Course, recently. Going down the list we find some of our most militant Negroes, the names of whom are by-words in the activities of leading civic organizations in Washington. But when it comes to playing golf on a segregated, delapidated, antiquated links—well, that's different.
Although the writer has nothing substantial on which to base his belief, he is anticipating one of the biggest basketball years Washington has had during the sport's history. The greatest obstacle in the past has been a lack of playing space, managers of all the local dance halls maintaining a determination not to open their places to the game that has proven so detrimental to the glazed surfaces of their floors.
What with the reported battle between promoters and dance-hall operators the main topic of U Street resulting in "complimentaries," "freebies," and what-not, it appears that the boys along the line will have to do something to place some vittles on the table under which they hope to put their feet this winter.
In the offending, methinks I do see some good old independent basketball—Hotcha!
Got a letter from Percy (Runt) White, who is out at Wilberforce, early this week. The Hillsdale second-baseman wanted to know "what the hard-hitting 'Dales are doing now that they're not playing ball?" For his information, they are congregating nightly at Bartoe's pressery, at Third and Elm Streets, playing the past summer's games all over again. Incidentally those last two Georgetown games are among the forbidden topics,
***
With Lincoln and Morgan offered as the appetizer, Morehouse and Paine set up as the entre, Howard and Virginia State presented as the main course, Tuskegee and Wilberforce, the dessert, and Bluefield and Hampton as the demi-tasse, the coming week-end promises just about the choicest morsel the 1933 gridiron menu has yet served up. Your columnist will be the waiter who will bring them all to you—in part, Saturday night, and in full next Thursday. The main course will be fed you bite-for-bite, and I hope you don't get the colic like you did after St. Paul had set so heavily on your stomachs.
It is very rare that a high school eleven can lay claim to a good kicker. Since the days of Augie Roberts, Central High School halfback, Washington has not been able to boast a scholastic grid performer, white or black, with the ability to place his punts with the accuracy and consistency of Steve Wiggins, Westmoreland's Armstrong High School lad. Take this easy now, son.
Just finished talking to Doo Dad Dorsey, manager of the Georgetown Athletics, District of Columbia baseball champions, who tells me that his team and the Georgetown A.C. football team are not representative of the same organization. It seems the latter outfit withdrew from the original west-end bunch because it wanted its own officers separate and distinct from the baseball team's. As a result they severed relations. Judging from the blaze of glory in which the diamonds finished

1932 Links King Comes from Behind to Defeat George Adams in Semi-Finals; Winner is One of Few Champions to Repeat
After staging as beautiful a rally as it has been the pleasure of a local golfing audience to witness in many a day to win his way to the finals of the District Amateur Golf Championships, James (Jimmie) Williams pulled himself together in masterful fashion to stand off the challenge of Chester White, portside star, and retain the title he achieved in 1932 over the Lincoln Memorial Links, last Sunday afternoon.
Pitted against the steady playing of George W. Adams in the semi-final round, the defending champion overtook a 2 up and 6 to play lead his physician rival enjoyed and captured the match by a margin of 2 up and 1 to play.
Chester White, in the meantime, had fought his way to the finals by overcoming Arthur White by the narrow margin of 1 up, and thus the finals brought together age and experience against youth and determination.

Contested over the 36-hole route, experience was the deciding factor, as Chester was leading at the turn by 1 up, and going strong. Going into the home stretch Chester began with weaken while Jimmy came on with stellar golf to win by 3 and 2. Much praise is due Chester White, a left-hander, for the brand of golf he flashed, and with a little more experience he should go far. Williams is one of the few champions of the year to retain his title.
Complete results are as follows:

REID STOPPED IN NEW ALBERT FITE
Veteran Punished All the Way in Bout with Young Pennsylvania Boxer
BALTIMORE, Md. — Georgie Gibbs, a newcomer from the Pennsylvania coal regions, scored an impressive victory over the veteran Calvin Reid in the feature bout of the boxing show staged at the New Albert Auditorium, this city, last Tuesday night. Gibbs took every one of the ten pounds to snatch the referee's decision with ultimate ease. The feature bout turned out to be a disappointment to the large number of fight fans in attendance at the opening indoor show of the Menumental City season. Reid had been favored to win, but his efforts were of little consequence when the visiting Pennsylvania struck his stride. The newcomer floored the favorite four times during the fracas.
Sammy Williams (152) knocked out Jack Flood (158) in three rounds, and Tommy Miles scored a decision victory over Joe Lewis in the two semi-final bouts.
their 1933 season as compared to the ignominy of defeat suffered by the gridironers in their first two games, the pigkin chasers would do well to get back in the old harness—if for no other reason than environment.

Morehouse 12-0 Winner Over Benedict College
ATLANTA, Ga.—A rejuvenated Morehouse Maroon Tiger took the field today under ideal weather conditions and defeated Benedict College, of Columbia, S.C., 12-0, without once leaving the outcome of the game in doubt.
Outplaying its opponents in every department of the game from the kick-off to the last whistle, the lethargic Tiger of last week came back strong, ripping and snorting its way until two touchdowns were put over, one in the third and one in the fourth quarter. In each instance, however, Morehouse failed to score points after the touchdowns.
Lillard Stars in Pro Football Win
CHICAGO (ANP)—Joe Lillard's team earned a 3-0 victory Sunday afternoon for the Chicago Carnivals over the Cincinnati Reds when after a 43-yard march down the field, in which he was the general, Lillard dropped back to the 17-yard line and booted a field goal between the uprights.
Near the end of the game one of the Cincinnati players cursed at Lillard and Joe plucked him on the jaw. The Cincinnati, Lester Gaywood, then struck Lillard and both men were put out of the game. Lillard weighs 185; Caywood, 230.

DOUGLASS ELEVEN BOWS TO TECH GENERALS
Baltimore Outfit Outclassed by Dick Temple's Well Coached Machine
Exhibiting a sparkling running attack, a Temple-coached Armstrong Technical High School football team took the measure of Duck Gibson's Douglass High eleven in the annual gridiron battle between these two schools, at the Walker Stadium, last Friday afternoon. The Baltimoreans were on the short end of a 21-0 score.
;
Seven minutes after the initial kick-off, Red Clark, General halfback, chashed through the visiting forward wall for the first touchdown and score of the game. Just previous to Clark's successful thrust, Pony Freedman had thrilled the local following with as neat a 40-yard punt return as has been witnessed by high school grid fans in many a day. The extra point was added by another line-buck, Clark carrying the ball.
The second and third 6-pointers were garnered during the second half of play. The first followed a well-placed 55-yard punt which went outside on the Maryland 2-yard line. A blocked kick, which Armstrong recovered on the alien 1-yard strip, paved the way for the score. Smith plunged over for the extra point.
Two passes, Freeman to Wiggins and Wiggins to Briscoe gave the Orange and Blue its third touchdown. Briscoe then added the third successful try for extra points via a line plunge.
Aside from the work of Poole at the fullback post, the Ducks were showed to be outclassed in every department.

MORRIS BROWN, 0;
TUSKEGEE, 0
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—A desperate rally that found the ball on the one-yard line was nipped by the final whistle here Friday at Legion Field as the Tuskegee Tigers were held by Morris Brown to a 0 to 0 tie. It was second down and only one yard to go for the Tuskegee Eleven, which had marched to that point from midfield only to meet a stone wall from the Atlanta team and the ending of the fray.
Morris Brown had predominated the game during the first half and threatened to score twice in that period. Dyke Smith, hard-charging halfback for Morris Brown, tried a drop kick from the eight yard line that went just a fraction too low. Then, as the second period was drawing to and end, William Jones threw a pass over the goal line to Tiny Smith who fumbled the ball.
Tuskegee had its big quarter the fourth, when a passing attack caught the Morris Brown defense sleeping. Edward Adams threw most of the passes to Smith, and the last three were good for 51 yards. The Morris Brown line from tackle to tackle was outstanding while the hard-charging Tigers of Tuskegee made most of their yardage through the air. The kicking of Jones of Morris Brown and Adams of Tuskegee was the high light of the fray.

COLESVILLE CARDS HILLSDALES FOR SEASON FINIS
The curtain will be dropped on Washington's baseball activities. Sunday, when the Colesville Tigers, fresh from their unexpected defeat of the Georgetown Athletics, city sandlot champions, take on the Hillsdale A.C., in the 1933 finale at Bailey's Park, Colesville. Willie Braxton's Jungle Cats, confident after their last Sunday win, which climaxed a season in which they also captured the Montgomery County championship, set out to make a clean sweep by challenging the Tri-State League runners-up. Until late in the season, the 'Dales were looked upon as the Capital's leading diamond aggregation. But a siege of staleness and the loss of two of its most dependable veterans, dealt the LeDroit Parkers' cause a severe blow.
However, the Hillsdale management feels satisfied that the old vim can be gotten back into the outfit for the season's close. A three-week lay off is looked upon as just the medicine that was needed. The Tigers turned back Doo Dad Dorsey's west-end aggregation in a well-played contest on the former's grounds, last Sunday. Russell, ace of the Georgetown staff, let the Tribune Round-Robin champions down with five hits, which he kept well scattered, while his mates were nicking the combined offerings of Matthews and Frazier for nine blows and four runs. The final score was 4-2.

LION COACH EYES SATURDAY CLASH
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa.—A general housecleaning of the Lincoln football squad is in progress as the Lions, with vengeance in their eyes from the Union butfeting, prepare for the game with the Morgan "Bears," Saturday at Philadelphia. Coach Martin is switching players right and left trying to get a line on the men who exhibit real drive, something that was lacking in the Union game. Martin's motto is, "If one combination doesn't produce, try another." All the berths are wide open for hustlers and individuals who show the greatest merit. One conclusion to be drawn from the two scrimmages this week is that Minns will be in the quarterback position with Little and Penn at halves and Clark at fullback.
When the Lions journey to the Quaker City, for their encounter with the "Bears," Bergen who was injured slightly will be on the snapper back job. Bergen, who is new at the pivot position, has proved himself to be the mainstay of the forward wall. With Veney, holding up one side of the line, and Cuthrie, the other side, these men will constitute a bulwark that will be hard for any backfield to cross.
Alejama State Hornets Turn Back Southern Eleven
MONTGOMERY. Ala. — In a thrilling斗舰 battle enlisted by a relentless aerial bombardment from opposing trenches, the Alabama State stinging Hornets emerged victorious by a score of 14-2 as they withstood a last quarter onslaught from a mighty courageous and aggressive Southern University eleven on the grass be decked field at Cramton Bowl last night.
After spotting the Hornets a seven-point lead late in the first quarter, the Jangar Cats went mad and began one of their noted offensives that bewildered and confounded the best efforts which the Hornets could put forth, only to be nipped in the bud by an unfortunate fumble and incomplete forward passes.
Fighting doggedly at each other with the same weapon—forward passes, both long and short—the two football brigades kept spectators on the edge as ea<sup>18</sup> touchdown resulted directly from aerial
THE FOOTBALL TEAM
This quartette of backfield stars of the St. Paul Tigers represent the four letters in the word doom, to which the Howard University eleven was sent at Walker Stadium last Saturday afternoon. Speedy, shifty, running, smart generalship, stellar passing and superb kicking are characteristics to be found in this well-balanced backfield. They are, left to right: Captain Gilbert Jones (66), halfback; Eugene Dies (58), fullback; Clarence Williams (53), halfback; and Herb Smith (64), quarterback.
FORCE CONTINUES WINNING STREAK
WILBERFORCE, Ohio (Special to The Tribune)—The Wilberforce University eleven preserved its undefeated status for the 1933 season and avenged a scoreless tie to which it was held last year by defeating the Kentucky State College grid machine, here last Saturday, by a score of 12-0. Both scores came in the third quarter, the first when Jenkins passed 50 yards to Williams, who ran an additional 15 yards to tally, and the second when Star Junius, substitute for Jack Hart, leading scorer, ran back a punt from the 50-yard line to the 1-yard strip, from where Jenkins plunged over for the touchdown. Wilberforce, by virtue of its victory, also remained undefeated and untied on her new athletic field since its dedication five years ago.
The Ohioans entrain for Chicago, late this week, where they will meet the crack Tuskegee Institute eleven. Wilberforce will be without the services of Terry, star full-back, who was injured in the second play of Saturday's game, and will be out indefinitely.

Tuskegee Eleven Ready for Saturday Clash at Chicago
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.
The Tuskegee football coaches were busy this week polishing the attack of the Golden Tigers for the coming clash with Wilberforce University at Soldier Field, Chicago, Saturday aternoon. October 21. Coach Abbott was noncommittal about his starting lineup. He said he was determined that the Tuskegee team this year will have an offense that will click. William Mobley, the Courier's all-American selection for quarterback for the season of 1932, is being drilled in pass plays and the youthful Haverhill, Mass., snapper-back and is expected to open the game with a bewildering assortment of overhead heaves.
A. and T. Aggies Point to Clash with St. Paul
GREENSBORO, N.C.—The Aggie Bulldogs reached their mid-season form in their practices this week in preparation for the homecoming game here Saturday. This early season form will be bad for St. Paul unless they can cook up a defense that will stop the Aggies. It is written that the Saints will take the air so the Aggies have been drilled on aerial defense. All the men who failed to participate in the Smith game last Saturday due to injuries sustained in the Morgan game will be back in the lineup. In connection with these "Zip" McCoy, former Norfolk high school star, will be in the lineup for the first time. McCoy suffered a broken leg in a season

WILMINGTON, Del.—The Cardozo football team received its first defeat of the season from the Howard High team, of Wilmington, Del. Friday, by the score, 19-6. Cardozo's lone touchdown was scored on a blocked kick by Virgil Tracy, Cardozo's right end. Two of Howard High's touchdowns were made by passes from Benson and Brown. Benson's 15-yard run netted the other score.

NEW YORK—Four shows a day kept the Mills Brothers from attending the world series, but it didn't keep them from challenging the ball club at Loew's Valencia Theatre on Long Island, where they were playing, and beating them, too, with a nine composed of the quartet and members of Don Redmpson's Harlem orchestra.
The score at the end of six innings, when the game was called because of the next show—not darkness—was 9-8 in favor of the Mills Brothers-Redmon team. John Mills, playing first base for the victors, got a triple and scored a run in four times at bat. His brother, Dor Mills, playing left field, batted 500 by hitting safely once in two trips to the plate, Harry Mills, right field, hit safely twice out of three times at bat, and Herbert Mills, at third base, poled one hit in three trips. Don Redmon at shortstop was the individual star of the game, with three two-base hits and two runs
WINDY CITY CLASH PROMISES ACTION
CHICAGO, Ill.—When Cleve L. Abbott, coach of the Tuskegee Institute football team, brings his Golden Tigers to Chicago to play Wilberforce University at Soldier Field, October 21, the spectators will see a team that has been taught football from the ground up. The Tigers from the well-known Alabama institution hit the line hard and fast, they tackle viciously but cleanly, and they block well. The Southerners, with several Southern Conference championships and a few national championship honors to their credit, bring a talented team to Chicago for the world's fair football classic. The Wilberforce team, boasting of a national championship and this year with such players in the line-up as Henderson, Raines, Andrews and McGee, should offer the Alabama boys one of the best games of the season.
Coach Graves, a former Michigan State star, knows how to get the most out of a group of football players and it is no open secret that from both of the football camps will come a group of men capable in their various assignments and determined to take victory back to their respective schools.
TEACHER COLLEGE GRIDDERS PREP
Footballers put an added zip into their practice this week after laying off for two days. They locked horns with the National Training School eleven, Wednesday. Miner's league record is still clean with two wins and no losses. The impending games with Cheyney and Storer promise to test the mettle of the Martinites to the fullest extent. The Miner eleven makes up for its lack of heft with smart foot work and clever passing. Coach Martin has every man actually living and thinking a very good brand of collegiate football. Miner's home-coming game with Cheyney is their most important engagement. Cheyney is the Middle Atlantic Athletic Association 1932 champion. This game follows the Miner-Storer tilt at Harpers Ferry.
West Virginia State Eleven Winner Over Fisk, 13-0
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—West Virginia State smashed Fisk 13-0 here Saturday.
The game was featured by the running of Johnson and Richardson, of West Virginia, and the brilliant kicking of Moore. Time and again Johnson skirted end for large yardages.
The first half saw a kicking duel between Collier of Fisk and Moore of West Virginia. A pass from Moore to Stewart was largely responsible for West Virginia's first touchdown. Fisk Bulldogs then opened with an aerial attack which placed the pigskin on West Virginia's thirty-yard line, and the half ended.
The second half was a repetition of the first. Fisk using a aerial attacks and West Virginia continuing her dashing end runs resulting in

New Side Rules Help
New Side Rules Help
The games played thus far have shown, beyond question, that the new rule which puts the ball in play 10 yards in where it becomes dead nearer the side line makes the game more interesting by doing away with the old out-of-bounds play. It has given the offense a little much needed help, but more help is needed if we are to preserve our running game. There are more thrills in free scoring games. The public likes to see clever, open field running, hard smashing power plays, clever maneuvers which outwit the opponents.
Many Up-sets
More than the usual number of upsets of the dope have occurred in the early season games to date. Among them perhaps the most surprising was the out-playing of Bates, of Dunbar. The unexpected large score run up by Howard High against Cardozo, a veteran team, should indicate Coach Neylor has a championship team in the making because Cardozo was supposed to be very good this season. Howard's show against Armstrong was impressive.
Coach Pinderhughes Shifts Linz-up
Obviously displeased with the varsity's showing against the second team in Monday's scrimmage, Coach Charles Pinderhughes made several changes in the Poets' first team line-up—changes that will more than likely hold forth in the game with Douglass on Friday in Baltimore. The most important move was placing of Green and Torrance in the backfield. These two held down respective berths in today's dummy scrimmage and signal drill and it is more than a good bet they will start against Douglass's well respected squad. It will be recalled, Hooks Green in last year's game, then a substitute, scored a touchdown in splendid open field running.
Millard Williams Regains Snap
For some reason Millard Williams hasn't been the football Williams of 1932. Gone was the fire and verve and his ball carrying has been only fair to middlin'. He failed to exhibit his prowess until this past week when he regained his snap and drive and began to do dire things in mock battles with the B squad. The following linesmen may get in the game Friday: Duvall, Pettiford, Lewis, Rustin, Capt. Tom Williams, Ashon, Brooks and Hiehtower.
Bates Invades Cardozo Gridifron
With one conference game lost this season by each school, Bates and Cardozo come to grips in their annual game on Walker Stadium in Washington, D.C., Friday afternoon, in what promises to be one of the outstanding high school games of the season. Every year the affair has been marked by intense rivalry and sensational playing on the part of both teams.
Harder Games Ahead
Coach Westmoreland was satisfied with his team's 28 to 0 victory over Douglass and the work of the new players who gained varsity position, but believes a continued improvement must be if the team is to come through in the remaining games on the schedule. Said Westmoreland, "We did show little better passing attack but the power wasn't anything exceptional. The line was more alert and charged harder and faster than against Howard. The backfield was also improved.
Douglass Determined to Press Dunbar
Determined to push Dunbar as hard as possible, Coach Gibson jumped right into the work of polishing his team, yesterday. The chief weakness of the Douglass team, in the opinion of the motor, is the failure of the line men to clear the way for the backs. This has been manifested both in scrimage and when a Douglass back is receiving a kick. Multiple errors detected this past week-end have been called to the attention of the
HAMPTON SCORES OVER STATE IN THRILLING GAME
Petersburg Entry on Short End of 13-0 Count; Greenness Hurts Loser
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—As a brilliant October sun sent its rays of energy and a light wind blew, two powerful and high-kyeyed-up elevenes put up as fierce a battle as has ever been waged on Armstrong Field. A band of blood-thirsty Hampton Pirates, inspired by the return of Captain Heavy Rivers to the line-up, not only successfully settled a year-old score but also smoothed out another one of the rough spots on the championship road in vanquishing the Trojans from Virginia State College by the count of 13-0.
Shag Courtney, of the Hilltopers and Powerhouse like Richmond will always be remembered by the large crowd of grenzied rooters for their thrilling achievements. On just about three out of every four plays the Gary, Indiana, wonder handled the ball. Not only did he constantly keep the crowd on edge and the Hampton defense puzzled throughout the contest by his brilliant running; he passed and kicked with equal results.
The State team, with seven freshman first-stringers, gave every indication that in the next year or two, it would certainly prove troublesome to other accretions in the association. Hill and Payne, who alternated at right halfback; Jetter and Young greatly aided Courtney on his brilliant runs. Payne's punting shaded even that of Richmond. Jeter repeatedly crashed Hampton's forward wall for gains. Solomon and Henzley at end, and Williams at guard also stood out for the visitors.

Knoxville Gridders Lose to Clark University Eleven
KNOXVILLE, Teen.—Launching a surprise aerial attack, the Clark University Panthers crushed the Knoxville College gridders in a hard-fought game here, 25-13. A couple of well-placed passes and two long runs, one of them by Suelee for 55 yards, spelled defeat for Knoxville. Knoxville's green team showed marked improvement over last week, and scored two touchdowns both in the second half. The Bulldogs kept the pikein in Clark's territory throughout the first quarter. Clark on only one occasion passing the 50-yard line.

Determined to erase these flaws and show a general all-round improvement, the Ducks flashed spirit aplenty during their work-out. It is beginning to look as if the boys have profited by the Armstrong liking. Gibson admitted, 'anyhow, they have got our fighting spirit up to a high pitch. If we can start clicking and keep going in high gear, we have an excellent opportunity to make a successful season of it yet.

1933 BEAR-BISON BATTLE CARDED UNDER LIGHTS
Traditional Clash is Made Nocturnal Affair After A. and T. Success
BALTIMORE, Md.—The Morgan Bears will have to change their name to "The Morgan Owls" if the present trend keeps up, for after a conference over the week-end, the officials decided to make the Morgan-Howard football game a night affair. It will be played on Friday night, November 3, instead of on Saturday, November 4.
This Bear-Bison Battle, the name by which this annual affair has come to be known, has for many years drawn a large number of fans. The date was changed this year largely because of the unexpected success of the A. and T. night game; and, also, because a large number of fans called up Professor G. C. Grant, the faculty manager, and asked that the date be changed because they had to work on Saturday afternoon. It is hoped that this change will enable the largest crowd to attend since the two schools have become formidable rivals.
This battle with Howard will mark the fourth night game the Bears will play this season. A. and T., Union, and North Carolina College were the others.
Coach Hunt's immediate concern, however, is the coming of Big Jeff's Bluefield Warriors on Saturday, and the Lincoln Lions in Philadelphia the following week. He feels that if he passes these two hurdles, he will be all set for the Bisons whether they come by night or by day, and incidentally the championship, also.
The whole city of Baltimore is getting rapidly keyed up over the first Morgan-Virginia State Thanksgiving Classic which will be here this year. This game will be played at one o'clock on Bugle field in order to get the game over early for Baltimore's famous home dinners, and allow the many visitors plenty of time to prepare for the many social affairs that are being planned. From the social as well as the financial standpoint, Baltimore is preparing to make this game compare favorably with the best of the classics played elsewhere.
Phila. Tribune Court Fives Making Ready for 1933

FOURTEEN Theatrically Speaking! With ANDY ANDERSON
At last, Your Man Anderson has seen "Emperor Jones"—and except for the fine acting of Paul Robeson, Dudley Diggs, and Frank Wilson, Your Man fails to see anything in it which can send him into raving ecstasy over the much-touched O'Neil play. It has nothing in it to appeal to the taste of self-respecting Negroes, except Mr. Robeson's splendid portrayal of that much-to-be-despised Negro character, the blustering lazy "rounder", who, himself, has brought to life more lynching and assault cases in the South than any other single force in our national life. Of course the dramatic appeal, in the sense of the work of the artists, and the scenic and sound effects, are all that the most discriminating could desire, but "what price Glory"? at the expense of a subtle belittlement of the finer possibilities of the Negro. A play should have a moral. Most of them do. But Eugene O'Neil has missed the mark in "Emperor Jones," as far as that angle is concerned. Your Man is glad that colored actors got the

Your Man wishes to compliment the Lichtman Theatres for the presentation of such enjoyable films as have been seen on U Street during the past few weeks. Such pictures as "Lady For a Day," "The Torch Singer," "Song of Songs" and others, are REAL entertainment, and will always draw those who love good entertainment. My only hope is that they will keep giving us such material as that. Lichtman "Talent Nights" begins Tuesday at the Republic, and at the Lincoln, and George Clarke was NOT killed—not the Lincoln Clarke, anyway.
The Howard Theatre was the scene of jubilant gayety last week, when the good Ship, Melody, piloted by Skipper Don Redmon, the Storer College half-back, docked at the T Street Pier, assisted by the Ohio track star, Harlan Lattimore, whose crooning was the cause of many weak hearts in the feminine group during his stay here. Incidentally, Your Man Anderson used to cage baskets for the Alma Mater, J. C. Smith, with young Lattimore back in the good old days of yore. The Redmon piano-tickler, Don Kirkpatrick, was also with Your Man back in those days at Biddle-Smith. "Little Dynamite" (Myra Johnson) was a bundle of pep in that show, along with the chorus of Ristina Banks and Co. This week that group of A-1 hoofers holds sway at the Shep Allen center, aided and abetted, in the conspiracy to give us more music and melody, by the mimble-fingered Coloridge Davis, and the Hardy Bros. band
Be informed that Your Man personally thinks that this bunch of musical instrument operators is the best "sweet music" band in the colored group. They play the kind of music which when rendered amidst soft lights, and surrounded by the heavenly personality of the sweet girl friend, will send the meekest heart into romantic revelries, great and tranquil.
The personality of Baron Lee (an old smoothie) (if you get me) makes the orchestral offerings still more enjoyable, while the work of the "home-town-boy-made-good" Billy Eckstein, of the Oregon Avenue Eckstein, is nothing short of marvelous. "Lo and behold, it falleth my pleasure to inform you that your Mr. Eckstein will soon enhance the ether waves with his me-

THE FILM OF THE YEAR
"A Study in Scarlet" scene at the Raphael Theatre.
A CECIL B. DeMILLE PRODUCTION WITH ACTION AT LINCOLN
"His Day and Age," the first great spectacle of modern times by the master of spectacle, Cecil B. DeMille, is coming to the Lincoln Theatre Friday, October 20, for a five days engagement. In the large cast are Charles Bickford, Richard Cromwell, Eddie Nugent, Ben Alexander, Harry Green, Fuzzy Knight, Bradley Page, George Barbier, and Judith Allen, a new discovery by DeMille.
This picture, announced as a true DeMille epic, reveals the same masterful handling of mobs, the same realistic touches that brought fame to his previous classics, "The Sign of the Cross," "The Ten Commandments," and "The King of Kings."
"This Day and Age" reaches surging heights when it presents a mob scene in which five thousand youngsters have put a racketeer on trial methods, the racketeer is brought by the mob to the old abandoned quarry and there "sweated" for a signed confession. Then he is ridden on a rail back to town and the mob breaks into the home of the judge who had once acquitted their captive of a murder charge and forces the jurist to witness the confession.
lodic voice. Wilton Crawley, master clarinetist, and artist, gives the program a flavor of the old days, with his excellent performance. Hannah Sylvester, singer, Freddie White, dancer, and a white tap act round out the bill, of one hour and fifteen minutes entertainment. "My Weakness," the film, is a dizzy travesty, bulging forth with clever lines and fun.
"And so good bye," I'll see you next week. ANDY.
"ONE SUNDAY AFTERNOON" AND "STAGE MOTHER" AT REPUBLIC
The secret of many a child's success on the stage is revealed in "Stage Mother," drama of theatrical life recently filmed by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, which will open a five days engagement Friday, October 20, at the Republic Theatre.
Adapted from an original story by Bradford Ropes, author of "42nd Street," the picture deals with a little known side of the theatre—the intense ambition that causes "stage mothers" to drive their children to success.
An exceptionally strong cast has been assembled in the picture headed by Alice Brady, who will be remembered for her sensational personal hit in "When Ladies Meet."
Gary Cooper, tall, lean, handsome star of "Farewell to Arms," once more brings to the screen one of those superb characterizations which have made him both the envy of Hollywood and the top-ranking favorite of cinema-goers. This time its in Paramount's "One Sunday Afternoon," which will be shown Wednesday and Thursday, October 25 and 26, at the Republi-
"One Stundy Afternoon" has a great cast, including Fay Wray, Frances Fuller, hailed as Paramount's new screen sensation, Neil Hamilton, Roscoe Karns, and Sam Hardy.
The story revolves around Gary Cooper who, as Dr. Biff Grimes, marries one girl after losing the one he loves to another man. After years saddened by the memory of the lost love, his eyes are opened and he knows that his wife has always been his real love.
This picture is recommended highly unconditionally. And you can take the children, too.
BROADWAY FEATURES WARNER BAXTER
Warner Baxter and Myrna Loy at the top of an impressive cast, in "Penthouse," the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Cosmopolitan picture, will open at the Broadway Theatre for two days, Sunday and Monday, October 22 and 23.
Filmed almost entirely in settings that represent the lavish penthouse world atop New York's skyscrapers, the picture captures the pulse of the great meropolis' roof-top life.
Myrna Loy, who in past appearances has been seen as an exotic adventurer with oriental eyes, has at last come into her own in this production as one of the most beautiful and alluring women to grace the motion picture screen. As Gertie Waxter, the night club girl, she appears in one of the strongest and most appealing and most worthy performances of her career.
Hitting her head on the side of a step in a fall, Miss Edna Williams, 25, of 95 Myrtle Street, Northwest, suffered a gash over the eye, Sunday, in which two stitches were inserted.

WEBB'S ORCHESTRA, "WILD BOYS OF THE ROAD" AT HOWARD
The mid-season ushers in Chick Webb and his Columbia Broadcasting Orchestra, beginning Saturday. This band is known as one of New York's hottest jazz combinations. It will be surrounded by a cast of fifty people. Plenty of entertainment is promised all in the line of music, novelties in dancing, and side-splitting comedy.
A really different screen sensation will be featured, "Wild Boys of the Road." This is alleged to be a shocking story of a half million boys and girls roaming America today, homeless, reckless—lawless!
This story tells of a girl who had
A
been a "home girl" once but later took to the road, living in box cars, throwing scruples to the wind to hold her own among the legion of "God's step-children." It is an amazing story because it is different. The regular midnite performance will be given on Saturday, instead of Friday. "Reserve seats are being sold in advance due to the expected large crowd," stated the genial Shep Allen.
Three Slightly Hurt in Auto Accidents
Three persons were slightly injured when they figured in traffic accidents Sunday. Struck by an auto, Horace Porter, 35, of 748 Morion Street, Northwest, received a punctured wound of the forehead. Mrs. Isabelle Lucas, 22, of 1023 Twentieth Street, Northwest, was struck by a Diamond Cab at Thirteenth and U Streets, but no apparent injuries could be found when she was examined at Freedmen's Hospital. While skating near his home, Winston Robertson, 9, of 448 M Street, Northwest, was knocked down by a hit-and-run driver and received bruises of the forehead.
ANNA MAY WONG STARS IN "STUDY IN SCARLET" AT RAPHAEL
No more proof of the popularity of the adventurous Sherlock Holmes could be needed than the reception Saturday at the Raphael Theatre at the initial filming of "A Study in Scarlet."
Apparently the public still is adventure-loving and responsive to suspense and thrills in motion pictures, and these are provided in wholesale quantities by Conan Doyle's famous hair-raiser.
Reginald Owen, in the role of Sherlock Holmes, is presented with the problem of uncovering the real reason for the existence of a certain secret society. Death follows upon death in the "ring" and the final reel is full of suspense as Holmes and his men hasten to protect the remaining members of the secret society who have thrown themselves upon him for protection.
The Raphael management was only able to secure "A Study in Scarlet" as a first run for four days due to such exigency on the part of other theatres for this show.
"The Constant Woman"
"Strange Interlude" and "Anna Christie" created history on the American screen, and acquainted the nation's movie-goers with the genius of their foremost playwright, Eugene O'Neill. Hence, the announcement that another of the O'Neill dramas serves as the basis for a talking picture will be with the enthusiasm that an event of such importance in film annals deserves.
"The Constant Woman," based on a play by O'Neill, is the feature attraction scheduled for presentation on Wednesday at the Raphael Theatre, for three days. Advance reports describe it as a photoplay of power, beauty, and genuine dramatic intensity. Enacted by a stellar cast, among whom are Conrad Nagel and Leila Hyams.
The story revolves about the influence which one woman wields—even after her death—over the lives of three persons—her son, her husband, and a sympathetic actress whom she had known.
Atlanta Plans Million and Quarter Housing Project
ATLANTA, Ga.—Plans for the construction of a modern housing project in the vicinity of the Atlanta University campus, to cost $1,250,000 and to provide apartments for approximately 800 Negro families, were announced here today. The program, which will make possible extensive clearance of small houses and the erection of a group of apartment houses covering about six city blocks, has been made possible by a federal loan by the public works administration.

Frederick Davidson, manager, of Dunbar High; Burton Johnson, doerman, of Dunbar High; Charles Johnson, projectionists, of Armstrong High; Everet Delaney, projectionist, of Armstrong High; Barnice Dabney, cashier, of Miner Teachers' College, are the students who will fill said capacities, assuming full charge of the Lincoln Theatre from 6 to 9 p.m., on the opening day of Cecil DeMille's spectacle of modern times, "This Day and Age," which will run through Tuesday, October 24.
On Saturday, October 7, a special screening was held for representatives of Howard, Miner Teachers' College, and the high schools in the District. The picture was highly commended by the various members present.
Robert Young, Leila Hyams, and Johnny Mack Brown play the featured roles in this exciting pigskin drama, and their supporting cast includes Ernie Nevens, Erny Pinkert, and many other famous gridiron stars.
Even without the footfall element, "Saturday's Millions" would qualify as one of the season's outstanding screen dramas, telling a swiftly moving story which is filled with tense interesting situations.

By C. M. THOMAS
The appointment of W. Tecam-
seh Bradshaw as deputy marshal
of the District of Columbia, is not
only a tribute to the splefidid and
effectiv> work done by the Colored
National Democratic League, of
which he is a vice chairman, but it
is indicative of the fair attitude of
Marshall E. C. Sryder, and his first
deputy, both of whom feel that the
porportion of the colored popula-
tion entitles it to representation in
Districy administration.
Marshall Snyder was specially
anxious to have a high type of man

'Southern NRA Slackers Should Be Outlawed," Says McGrady
Assistant Secretary of Labor Flays Laundry Employers Who Claim They Can't Pay Workers $7.50 Per Week; Discrimination Denounced
SIXTEEN
"I don't know what the administration is going to do about it, but speaking for myself, I say industries that claim they cannot stay in business if they have to pay a wage of $7.50 for a 48-hour week ought to be outlawed," declared assistant secretary of Labor, Edward F. McGrady, addressed a mass meeting Thursday at the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church. Mr. McGrady was the principal speaker at the meeting which was sponsored by M. P. Webster, of Chicago, chairman of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; and A. Philin Randolph, national president of the Pullman Porters' Union; and held in the interest of the NRA program, and labor unions.
Mr. McGrady took as his subject, "The Meaning of the NRA to the Negro." After a detailed statement as to the National Industrial Recovery Act, he answered the query: "Will the National Recovery Act Be a Success?"—"Emphatically Yes!" "We propose to see that industries share the responsibility for regular employment and a decent annual income for employees.
"I know you are thinking 'what benefits will our people secure from all of this?' The answer is that you will and must receive your proportion of the benefits with any and every other group or individual. With decent wages in the hands of these millions of workers there will be a purchasing power that industry never had the benefit of before, based upon the individual desire for the enjoyment and realization of higher living standards, better homes, comfortably furnished, suitable clothing, nourishing food, educational advantages.

Should be Outlawed
"Among the complaints that have been received at NRA headquarters is one from the South in which certain laundry employers claim they cannot stay in business if they have to pay Negroes $7.50 per week—a forty-eight hour period. Now, I don't know what the administration is going to do about it, but I say such an industry ought to be outlawed.
"There are employers of labor who are urging a lower wage level for Negroes in the codes presented to the National Recovery Administration. This is not only unfair, but it is fraught with great danger.
"Where men, regardless of color, who do equal work and possess equal efficiency, common justice demands equal wages. Discrimination against the Negroes doing equal work is entirely foreign to the thought of the President of the United States.
"Negroes have to pay just as much for the necessary things of life as white people. Negroes want to reach the same standards of living as white people, and they will be just as good spenders, just as good consumers. To force Negroes to accept a lower standard of living or lower wages will result in also destroying the standards of white workers."
Porters Win Increase
Other speakers were: M. P. Webster, chairman of the executive committee of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; and Spencer Miller, executive director, Workers' Education Bureau of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Webster gave a graphic account of the organization and struggle of the Brotherhood with the Pullman Car Company, dating back to 1912. Since that time and after many hard battles, the wages of the porters have been increased from $25 per month to $67.50.
The meeting, which drew an audience of some 300 persons, proved to be a boost, not only for the NRA, but for the unionization of Negroes under the banner of the American Federation of Labor. The Rev. Charles H. Wesley, presided, and A. Philip Randolph, a staunch A.F. of L. advocate, gave voice to a strong plea for enlistment under that banner.
Randolph Scores NRA
Mr. Webster and Mr. Randolph were in Washington in attendance at the 53rd annual meeting of the American Federation of Labor, in which convention Mr. Randolph denounced discrimination against Negroes under the NRA, and second, the adoption of the following resolution:
"Resolve, that the American Federation of Labor, in its 53rd convention, held in Washington, D.C., does herewith condemn the policy of wage differentials, based upon sectional or racial grounds and herewith calls upon the National Recovery Administration heads and the President of the United States to eliminate said policy in the interest of economic justice to the race workers in particular, the American workers in general and raising the purchasing power of the entire working class as a while."
AUTO BREAKS BONES

But, where was Tom Walker and Ted Howard? They were the team to lots of Howard belles last season. I saw Artie Jackson warming up, but what happened?

JOHN R. CLIFFORD AGED LAWYER SUCCUMBS
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — Funeral services for John R. Clifford, the oldest Negro lawyer in the state of West Virginia and father of the well known Mrs. Coralie F. Cooke, of Washington, D.C., were held here, recently. Death followed a cerebral hemorrhage which resulted from a fall. The close of the life of Mr. Clifford marked the end of 85 years of a colorful career. The last forty years of his life were spent in the practice of law into which field he entered as the first Negro to be admitted to the local state bar. He was, during that time, the only colored practitioner in this city.
For 38 years Mr. Clifford edited the Pioneer Press, a weekly newspaper. He was also a Civil War veteran, and at one time president of the National Independent Political League, and first vice-president of the American Negro Academy. He attended college at Harpers Ferry and Raleigh, N.C. In earlier years he was prominent in Masonic circles, serving as grand master of the grand lodge in West Virginia.

I. L. D. TO PUSH SCOTTSBORO CASE TO EARLY TRIAL
Judge Horton Refuses to Set Boys' Hearing on Bail Writ
NEW YORK—That he will insist within the next two weeks on calling formally for beginning a new lynch trial for the Scottsboro boys is the latest announcement of Attorney-General Thomas E. Knight, of Alabama, the International Labor Defense said today. Knight, who was recently shot in the foot by accident when a deputy's gun went off in the Tuscaloosa grand jury room just as Elmore Clarke, survivor of the recent lynch-orgy there was being brought into the room, and standing close to the attorney-general, has now recovered, it was said, and is making moves to bring the innocent Negro boys to trial before the

WASHINGTON OWNED & OPERATED
lynch court of Decatur once more. In these moves, the I.L.D. said, he is being supported fully by Judge James E. Horton, who presided at the re-trial of Heywood Patterson, and who has refused so far to set a date for hearing on writs of habeas corpus filed by the organization to force setting of bail for the boys. Under Alabama laws, ignored completely by Horton, it is mandatory to permit bail in the case following Horton's ruling that the "evidence preponderates in favor of the defendant."
Pressure on Horton
"Every effort is being made by the I.L.D. to force Horton to set a date for this hearing," William L. Patterson, national secretary of the I.L.D., said.
One lynching, an attempted lynching, two mysterious murders of Negroes, and a general reign of terror against them in the town and its vicinity, and a "rape" frame-up with lynn verdict of death after open sabotage of the defense by the attorneys appointed to the case by Judge Horton, have marked the lynch incitement program in Decatur since the Patterson verdict, in preparation for the new trials which Horton and Knight insist must be heard there.
"The I.L.D." Patterson said, "is developing a campaign of nationwide proportions once again, to force the freedom of the Scottsboro boys, as the state continues its efforts to bring them to a new ordeal."
