J. C. WATERS SUES H. U. FOR $2,500
J. C. WATERS SUES H. U. FOR $2,500
Says He was Dismissed from University Without Being Heard
James C. Waters, an attorney and former secretary and librarian of the Howard University Law School, filed suit against the university Tuesday for $2,250, alleged back pay. Attorney Waters who lives at 1604 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, claims this account is due him with interest. He also claims that he was dismissed from the university April 15, 1932 without charges being preferred against him. In his petition he sets forth that he was tendered a position as teacher with rank of professor on February 4, 1921 and he began work on July 1, the same year. Prior to that time he stated that he was in the classified service of the United States and was assigned as freight rate accountant in the chief of Finance Office of the War Departmest.
Quit Government Post
He also alleges that Dr. Stanley Durkee, then president of the university, and other high officials of the school, assured him that there would be no limitation as to tenure which was subject to good behavior. He also states that he was told that his service could be terminated only by the board of trustees and then only after charges had been preferred and served and after opportunity had been afforded him to be heard. He resigned his government position which paid $1,800. He says that he started work at the university on July 1, 1921 and actually began teaching October 1, 1921.
:
The petition avers that on August 8, 1929 the board of trustees abolished the position as secretary of the Law School without preferring any charges against him over his protest and in violation of assurances given him by Dr. Durkee.
Fired April 15, 1932
He claims that he was carried as temporary instructor and librarian at a salary of $2,500 and was informed by the present president, Dr. Mordecal Johnson, that in the event the new arrangement was not satisfactory he could revert to his old status immediately as professor at his basic salary of $1,800 and was assured by Dr. Johnson that he was not being demoted.
Mr. Waters further states that he continued in temporary status until he was notified on Auril 15, 1832 that he was not reappointed for services in the Law School for the following year. He states that in July 1932, he made demands upon the university for salary and since July 1, 1932 to June 30, 1933 he has not received his basic salary of $1,800 or any part and that from July 1, 1933 to the present he has not received salary or any part of it.
Attorney Waters asks the court to force the university to pay him the sum of $2.250 with interest upon each monthly installment of $160 from the date it became due and payable, together with costs.
Attorney Thurman L. Dodson represents Mr. Waters.

SCOTTSBORO TRIAL IS SET FOR NOVEMBER 17
DECATUR, Ala.—A special term of Morgan County Circuit Court for retrial of seven youths accused of attack in the "Scottboro case" was set for November 27 by Judge W. M. Callahan. The judge announced the date after a conference with Attorney General Thomas E. Knight, Jr., directing the prosecution, and Judge James E. Horton, who presided over the trial of Heywood Patterson, one of the defendants, last April. Only seven of nine indicted March 31, 1931, for an alleged attack on two white girls aboard a Southern Railwav freight train in Jackson County, are now in the jurisdiction of the Morgan County Circuit Court. The other two, Eugene Williams and Roy Wright, are under the jurisdiction of the Morgan County Juvenile Court.

President Asked to Put a Stop to Lynching
America's Lynchings
The following are a few of the many letters and telegrams sent to President Roosevelt asking him to take steps to stop mob law in this country.
The first is from the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance: "To the President:
"The Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance of Washington and Vicinity, representing directly 150 churches, with an approximate church-going constituency of 100,000, and indirectly 12,000,000 loyal Americans, bow our heads in humiliation and shame because we are a part of this American Republic, which seems to condone such dastardly deeds as lynching within 100 miles of the capital of the nation.
"At such a time as this, Mr. President, when every facility of the government is being strained almost to the breaking point to bring about economic peace and stability, when the co-operation of every citizen is so sorely needed,

BIDS WIFE ADIEU THEN DRINKS TWO VIALS OF IODINE
Death Cheats Two Would-be Self-Slayers Choosing Poison Route
Penciling a note to his estranged wife in which the wish was expressed that she be happy with her boy friend, William Henry Daphney, 30, of 118 Bates Street, Northwest, walked out to the corner of Second Street and Seaton Place, Sunday afternoon, and drank two bottles of iodine.
Daphney was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital in a passing automobile and treated for acute iodine poisoning by Dr. L. Richard. On Tuesday afternoon he was reported out of danger and walking around Ward No. 6, where he was detained for observation.
The would-be self-slayer's note, addressed to the wife, Mrs. Evelyn Daphney, of 34 Pierce Street, Northwest, located by Officers E. P. Hallman and E. Williams, of the Second Precinct, was penciled on rough yellow paper shortly before the rash act.
It read: "Good bye, Evelyn. I hope you are happy with your boy friend. I won't bother you any more I hope. (Signed) Wm."
**Woman Drinks Lysol**
A woman also tried suicide via the poison route during the past week. She was Miss Elizabeth Dickson, 31, of 76 G Street, Southwest, who swallowed the contents of a bottle of lysol.
She was removed to Gallinger Hospital by the Fire Rescue Squad and detained there under observation in an undetermined condition. Police of the Fourth Precinct were unable to learn from Miss Dickson why she wanted to kill herself. All that she would say, according to them, is that she wanted to die. It is thought, however, that the woman will recover.
OHIOANS MARRY IN D.C.
License to marry was granted here in the past week to Bernard Thomas, 33, of Toledo, Ohio, and Wilhelmina Smith, 27, of Warrenton, Va.; also to James Spivey, 32, of 720 Lamont Street, Northwest, and Pauline Mitchell, 30, of Youngstown, Ohio.
when the spirit of brotherhood and fair play, regardless of race, creed or color, should be everywhere in evidence, we are haffled and discouraged, to say the least, that the taking of human life through mob violence apparently can be held so lightly, by our government.
"The Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance appeals to you. Mr. President, as the Chief Executive of the nation, in the name of all the sacred traditions of our country, on behalf of 12,000,000 loyal citizens who have always given their best in the interest of this republic, and as an object lesson of justice to other nations, where their citizens are being mistreated, to speak out against this terrible curse of lynching, which so horribly expressed itself in the lynching of George Armwood, October 18, in Princess Anne County. Md. If this reassuring word is not forthcoming, unfortunately we will be forced to accept our conclusions as justified.

DOOMED MEN DENIED PLEA TO WED
DOOMED MEN DENIED PLEA TO WED
The unprecedented plea of two doomed men, one the father of two children, to be permitted to wed on the eve of their meeting death in the electric chair was turned down by the District Commissioners, Tuesday, following a private hearing.
Dr. Luther H. Reichlederfer, president of the Board of Commissioners, simply announced the need for public policy the request of the two men had been refused. The Rev. James D. Pinn, official spiritual adviser of doomed men in the District jail, made the plea for the men before the commissioners after conferring with Superintendent Rives, of the District jail, and George S. Wilson, director of Public Welfare. The sensational circumstances under which such marriage ceremonies would be staged, it has been learned, convinced the commissioners that no good would come from the act, and that the District would be given unfavorable publicity.

Four Made Sick by Eating Poison Bread
Four persons, including two children, an elderly woman and a man, were made seriously ill last week when they accidently ate of bread which had been saturated with poison to be used in killing rats.
The quartet was treated at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. K. A. Price with antidotes and allowed to go home later in an improved condition.
Those poisoned were: Adrienne Robinson, 10, of 2215 Ninth Street, Northwest; Jones Robinson, 8, Holbrook Robinson, 37, and Mrs. Julia Robinson, mother of the latter, all of the same address.
In a letter to the President the Student Council of Howard University said:
"Mr. President:
"The Student Council of Howard University, representing 2,000 students and the spirit of 12,000,000 Negroes, is clamoring for the birth of a New Negro.
"We take this opportunity to remind you of the inactivity and inefficiency of our national government in the handling of the lynching question, a question pertinent to all Negroes throughout the land.
The young Negro deplores the lax attitude that the executive, judiciary and the legislative bodies of our nation have assumed in the matter of controlling lynching. For 67 years the lynching and inhuman treatment of a depressed people—who have given their all for the support of American ideals—has constantly appeared and reappeared without any effort on the part of our national government to see that justice is meted out to the violators of our civil rights.
"At times there have been feeble attempts by some of our legislators to alleviate the lynching evil. The most prominent effort was the Dyer anti-lynch bill, but this and oth-

Declare Old Law Gives U.S. Power to Act in Lynchings
The federal government has the power to punish officials in any state who permit lynchings of prisoners in their care, and the President of the United States may call out the land and naval forces of the nation to see that the guilty ones are punished. These are the contentions in a brief filed with Attorney General Cummings this week by Charles H. Houston, Leon Ransom and Edward P. Lovett, attorneys of this city.
PICK BREAKS HIP

er efforts have failed because of the lack of forceful support by the executive head.
"Because of this unconcerned attitude by our national government the promulgators of mob violence have become bolder and are slowly marching upon our national capital, for the last episode of this horrible drama occurred in less than 100 miles of Washington.
"We are calling to your attention the lynching of George Armwood, a Negro suspected of assaulting a 70-year-old white woman, at Princess Anne, Md. October 18, 1933.
"The Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, reminded us of the fact that all 'men are created equal and pledged the American government (county, state and national) to the support of this ideal. For three-score seven years, the Negro has been patiently awaiting the enforcement of this principle by those controlling the destiny of our nation.
"The United States national government, while not openly expressing its approval of the method employed in settling of these alleged attacks as Germany has in the case of the Jews, has apparently given

BALTIMORE, Md.—Judge Morris A. Soper, of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, agreed Wednesday to hear at Richmond arguments for and against a Federal hearing for Euel Lee, it was announced.
The defense representatives and members of the State Law Department expected to reach Richmond at 8:40 p.m. Wednesday and go directly before Judge Soper.
Opposition Expressed
Attorney-General William Preston Lane announced by telegram to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Richmond the opposition of the State to the appeal being sought by attorneys for Euel Lee and declared the appeal was being sought solely to delay the execution of Lee, sentenced to hang early Friday. The telegram said:
I understand that application will be made to one of the circuit judges of the Fourth Circuit for the allowance of an appeal from the action of District Judges Coleman and Chesnut at Baltimore yesterday refusing an application for a writ'of habeas corpus and denying certificate of probable cause for appeal in the case of the State of Mary- (Continued on page 2)
its tacit sanction to the wrong doing. . .
"For well over a half century these minority problems have been left to the barbaric impulse of the mob, which fact is not at all worthy of the civilization which we profess. Since the inauguration of the new deal, mobs have continued to ply their trade and to take the law into their hands. Only last night they received direct sanction for their dastardly deeds from a local commander of the American Legion.
"Such incidents as these only serve to incite other lawless acts and to quicken the pulse of the mob spirit. We, therefore, call upon you, Mr. President, as a last resort of an oppressed people, to stem the tide of mob violence. We trust this matter will be given your immediate attention."

Cash Settlement Closes Attempted Rape Case
Principals in the alleged attempted rape of Ollie Rice, 22-year-old former servant girl, at the home of Cesaro Bernalo de Quiros, Argentine artist, by Robert Sterwa, a cook in the Spanish Embassy, declined to disclose the amount of money to which the complainant and her attorneys agreed to settle out of court, early this week.
Reports that there had been a disposition satisfactory to all the parties concerned were confirmed by both Miss Rice and her counsel, Attorneys Howard, Hayes and Pinkett. But no information was forthcoming with regard to the amount which they felt might vindicate them for their refusal to prosecute the alleged attacker.
AMERICAN LEGION HIT IN LYNCHING
National Commander Called on to Issue Statement
In a telegram to National Commander Edward Hayes and other American Legion Posts, Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard University Law School, called on members of the Legion to take a firm stand in halting mob law.
The Post at Princess Anne, Md which refused to stop the mob from lynching George Armwood was severely scored by Dean Houston. The Princess Anne Post is also accused by Mr. Houston of shielding the guilty mobsters.

Corrective and Preventive Measures Recommended In Delegation's Protest
By SAMUEL H. LACY
A delegation of ten lawyers, representing three separate local jurisdictions, appeared before Albert C. Ritchie, Governor of the State of Maryland at his Baltimore offices in the Union Trust Building, Wednesday afternoon, and presented an urgent request for strenuous effort on his part to attempt to bring about the preemption and punishment of individuals who participated in lynching of George Arnwood, a Princess Anne, Md., last Wednesday night. Executive recommendation of certain legislation to prevent a recurrence of the deed was also encouched in a memorandum which the delegation placed in the hands of the governor.
Headed by Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard University School of Law, and Josiah F. Henry, Jr., president of the Monumental City Bar Association and vice president of the National Bar Association, the group of lawyers took advantage of an audience which had been arranged through the efforts of Edward P. Lovett, militant young lawyer of this city.
In the group besides Attorneys Houston, Henry and Lovett were: Leon A. Rimone, member of the faculty of the Howard University School of Law; Frank W.

CRAWFORD LEGAL
BATTLE LOOMS
N.A.A.C.P. is to Defend
Accused Slayer of
White Women
NEW YORK—The legal battle over the guilt or innocence of George Crawford, wanted for murder in Virginia, shifted from Boston, Mass., to Leesburg, Va. this week as the United States Supreme Court refused to review Crawford's extradition case.
When Crawford goes from Massachusetts to Virginia to face trial for his life, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which has carried on his fight thus far, will go with him. All the machinery of the association swung into action this week behind the murder trial scheduled to be held about November 15, according to John Galleher, Loudoun county attorney.
A sensational legal battle is in prospect as Crawford is accused of murdering Mrs. Agnes B. Ualey, wealthy society sportswoman of Middleburg, Va. Because Virginia authorities have moved for an early trial, the N.A.A.C.P. speeded the perfection of its defense plans, and called for immediate contributions to a Crawford defense fund.

RITCHIE ASSAILED
(Continued from Hane 2):
ed here today because of a condi-
tion which we believe is absolutely
intolerable, We refer to the recent
lynching in the state of Maryland.
We could not see, even after the
Williams lynching of several yeors
ago, that a repitition of "such
atrociousness could take place in
your state.
“When lynchings occur farther
south,” Mr, Houston continued,
“that’s something, but when they
oceur next door to the Capital it is
still another. Lynchings are atro-
cious at any cost and when. they
are perpetrated in the shadow of
the Capitol, it begins to look as
if there is ‘no place safe for Ne-
groes in the United States.” 2
Anti Law Sought
Continuing the committe spoges-
man declared that it should -be the
duty of the governor to seek the
enagtion of legislation whielr would
empower him to regulate the cus-
tody of prisoners, to order the
change of venue whenever it was
considered advisable, to designate
the judge for the trial, and to re-
move-or suspend sheriffs pending
an investigation of their actions
following mob violence.
‘The Howard University instruc-
tor then insisted on the governor's
consideration of a request for his
recommendation of legislation
which would place the liability
upon a county where a lynching
occurred, to be recovered in a tivil
suit instituted in behalf of the next
kin of the victim, in the minimum
amount of $10,000, and of $5,000
for the victim in’ the event the
victim did not die as a result of the
mob’s wrath, *
Governor Ritchie appeared inter-
ested in the propositions and at
various intervals asked questions
relative to the possibility of intro-
ducing such legislation as would
be armed with “teeth.” His reply
was brief but to the point,
The Governor's Statement.
“There ig no limit,” he said, ‘to
which the state will go to get to
the very bottom of this affair, and
I pledge yelentless action on my
part in the conduct, of the investi-
gation of the facts in the case,
“I should, however,” he went on,
“prefer to wait a few days until I
receive x definite report as to the
progress that has heen made in the
investigation that is now going on.
“Twill also gladly consider your
request that I make a public appeal
for public support in the investira-
tion and for the prosecution of all
those the investigation may dis-
close as perpetrators of the lynch-
ine
When asked by one of the group
as to the extent of the investiga-
tion which is purported to be go-
ing on at Prineess Anne, the execu:
tive replied that he could not ans-
wer except to declare that “every-
thing within the power of the

Commendation
Made by General Hugh
Johnson on Moton’s
Equal Wage Stand
General Hugh Johnson, chief of
the NRA Administration has writ-
ten Dr, R. R. Moton, of Trskegee,
commending the stand which Dr.
Moton recently took in demanding
equal wages for Negroes wherever
they are engaged in doing the
same type of work as whites,
General Johnson's letter said in
part:
“I, of course, agree with Dr.
Moton that the problems of Negro
and white help will eventually
work itself out. It is true that in
some instances Negro help has
been discharged by . employers.
When they discovered that. they
had to pay a certain salary, they
decided that they would rather pay
it to white employees. Such action
as this, of course, is entirely op-
posed to one of our fundamental
principles. "We believe that dis-
crimination should be shown a-
against no class or group and this
doctrine is ever in our minds.”
It is understood that various or-
ganizations are seeking every in-
stance of discrimination on ac-
count of race, with the purpose of
presenting the cases to the NRA
administration.

Jobless Marchers Ask More Relief of Bureau Head

RELIEF DIRECTOR IS FLAYED FOR RAISING HIS PAY
Unemployed Marchers Ded More Money from Leroy Halbert
Playing Leroy Halbart, relief director, for raising his own salary and those of his employees while thousands of jobless men and women are on "starvation rations," a deliction from the Unemployed Council, a Communist organization, demanded more aid for unemployed men and women last Friday. Some one hundred members of the council parade from Rhode Island Avenue and Eighth Street, Northwest, to the Unemployed Relief Headquarters, on John Marshall Place. The marchers carried placards demanding "Unemployed Insurance," and "Decent Food, Clothes and Shelter."
Near Conflict
A squad of motorcycle police augmented by police and detectives in automobiles accompanied the marchers to the headquarters. Some excitement was raised and a possible conflict between the demonstrators and police was narrowly averted when the marchers sought to take a delegation of six into Halbert's office. Police objected and stated that only five would be permitted to enter. Harold Spencer, leader of the marchers, finally gave way and counted off five, one white man, one colored woman and two colored men, and Spencer made up the delegation.
Demands More Relief
Spencer demanded of the relief director $2.50 food order for single workers on weeks they do not work, rent for married workers to be paid by the relief station, and relief to all jobless workers without discrimination.
Halbert said he would present the demands to the Relief Committee of the Board of Public Welfare. Spencer told him he was not satisfied with the answer.
"You can spend more lavishly. You are bluffing. Your spending is keeping us in starvation. Spend what you have now to keep us living decently. When your money is gone we will see to it that Congress some more. You turned us on before yet you raised your own salary and the pay of your employees," declared Spencer
"Could you live off $2.80 every two weeks?" To this question Halbert answered in the negative. Halbert stated that he did not know when he would present the delegation's demands to the committee as he did not know when the committee meets. Spencer declared that he would find out when the committee meets and bring hundreds of workers to the meeting.

SAYS MATE TOOK CASH AND RINGS; SEEKS DIVORCE
Mrs. Tharrie L. Matthews Claims $55 Was Spent on "Other Woman"
Accusing her husband of having deserted her after securing her $55 savings and entertaining another woman with the money, Mrs. Tharrie L. Matthews, of 627 L Street, Northeast, filed suit for maintenance and divorce against Robert J. Matthews, of 400 M Street, Northeast, in the District Court, last week.
The couple was married on June 23, 1931, by the Rev. A. J. Taylor, according to t.e. petition, and lived together until May 30, 1933, when the husband is alleged to have deserted his wife.
Miss. Matthews claimed that her mate came to her shortly before the reputed leavetaking and borrowed 355 and took her engagement and rings to be put up as pledges in order to buy some furniture and rent a small apartment. The wife claims that she turned the money and rings over to her husband, but that Matthews spent the money upon a "Miss Pierce," whose first name is unknown to the wife.
"Forced to Work"
In addition to this, Mrs. Matthews avers that her husband has an automobile and frequently takes Miss Pierce out to theatres and restaurants, and otherwise provides for her. The petition also states that Mrs. Matthews has been forced to work against the advice of her physician, despite the fact that her husband has been earning $20 a week as an employee of Gillman's drugstore. She requests that the court order him to pay her a certain amount regularly.
Mrs. Matthews is represented by John H. Wilson, attorney.

Mr. Timus first entered the then called Fifth Baptist Sunday School September 1877, under the late Henry Washington, superintendent, and the Rev. John H. Brooks, pastor. He became a teacher shortly thereafter. He was elected church clerk July 25, 1888, a position which he still holds.

A competent committee, headed by John H. Wade, is in charge of the arrangements for the testimonial. Bliss Plaine, a former student of Morehouse College and Howard University has been elected to succeed Mr. Timus.
7,314 Homes in D. C. Owned by Colored
Washington stands fourth in the United States among cities with 50,000 or more Negro population in the number of colored citizens who own and occupy their homes, according to figures on non-farm homes tabulated in the 1930 census. New York, Philadelphia, and Memphis, lead the District. A total of 7,314 colored residents of the Capital own their homes, and the values range up to $20,000, according to the figures. Washington, however, leads the country in homes worth between $7,500 and $14,999, and is fourth in the highest classification, $20,000 or over. The median value for the city is $6,433.
In New York, 8,556 own their homes and the value is slightly higher than in Washington. Philadelphia has 7,829 colored homeowners with a median value of $4,662. Memphis, with 7,556 homeowners, has a median value on the homes of only $1,775.

The undertaking of a practical project in social co-operation by the Student Council representatives at Randall Junior High School is proving a promising experiment. The project chosen by them is that of creating a more cultural and have shown a keen interest in this cafeteria, where all pupils are allowed to eat their lunches, and of acting as hosts and hostesses to pupils and teachers. The pupils have hown a keen interest in this project and have kept the tables decorated with fresh flowers. An appreciation of the Student Council effort was shown in the immediate response of the increased numbers of pupils who brought their lunches to the decorated tables and those who purchased their lunches from the cafeteria rather than from the corner store.
The tables presided over by the eighth and ninth grade sections were particularly attractive and brought forth much favorable comment from visitors. The council is now planning the installation of a radio. This co-operative project will be continued for the semester.

Japs Object to Being Treated Like Negroes
TOKIO—Japan has added耳 voice in protest against Nazi racial discrimination and objects to being treated like American Negroes. The government and the people of Japan, said a foreign office spokesman in discussing the protest, are "highly indignant at Germany's branding us inferior." Germany's attention has been called, he added, to "the fact that speeches of Nazi leaders and lyrication by the German government have specified discriminatory treatment of the Jews, Negroes and other colored races—harming mixtures thereof with the "German race." Even in the United States, the spokesman went on, Japan are not subjected to the same treatment as Negroes, yet Germany has linked them in the same category.

Is Brisbane a Mobbist?
In the column "Today" by Arthur Brisbane, commenting on the lynching at Princess Anne last week, he openly approved of that most inhuman lynching when he said "a crime for which no punishment that HUMAN BEINGS might inflict could be TOO GREAT." The striking significance of this statement is not the prejudiced outburst of Arthur Brisbane, but the fact that one who so strongly pretends to advocate law and order would put his approval on the law enforced BY MOB and not by the due processes of law which we have set up and maintain with our taxes for the carrying out of the will of the people and the administering of justice. Brisbane did not say no punishment administered under the LAW would be too great, but that no punishment administered by the MOB could be too great.
Evidently this mob was made up of a number of Brisbane thinking people, who committed a greater crime than the victim and now seek to justify their indefinable and brutal acts—yet they denied the victim the same opportunity to justify or defend his alleged act.
Brisbane further in his article attempts to defend this brutal mob when he says: "Members of a mob are as different from their ordinary selves as dogs hunting in a pack from an individual dog by the fireside."
By such course of reasoning ANY crime is not only excusable, but to be praised if committed by and under the influence of a "gang" or mcb.
It appears that Arthur Brisbane himself would make an ideal leader of a mob if and when he should come under the influence of fiendish, bloodthirsty, murderous, low-bred, and un-Christian brutes that made up the mob in Princess Anne, Maryland.
But on second thought—would he have guts enough to take part in a mob act, or would he do the still more cowardly thing, sit back in safety and use his pen to incite race hatred for the Negro even as he does for the Japanese and Filipino?

Our News Policy
In a letter to the editor appearing on this page we are asked if the article in our last week's issue was "intended to advocate Negro patronage" of the Philipsborn store. If the writer of this inquiry (who by the way failed to sign her name) would read the article again, and carefully, it would be clear that the Tribune reported an interview with the management of this store without comment or without "advocating" anything. The question of whether such statements, by the store management should justify your patronage is purely a personal matter.

By William Pickens
The killing and burning of a 24-year-old Negro youth by a Maryland mob on October 18 has some unusually bad features about it. It shows that American lynchers have learned nothing from the Scottsboro cases. Nine Negro boys now generally believed to be innocent were in grave danger of being lynched when they were first accused two and a half years ago. This colored man in Maryland was accused and suspected of having committed assault on a woman, but no court and no jury has weighed the evidence alleged to prove his guilt. The mob lynched an accused man, making it dangerous for a Negro to be accused of crime, although it is known that thousands of innocent people are continually accused of law-breaking, and that Negroes certainly receive no favors in that respect.
But the aspects of this Maryland case
that are particularly sinister include the carelessness (not to say cowardice) of the officers of the law and the flouting contempt for law and government expressed by the local commander of the American Legion, who rejected with words of real anarchy Gov. Ritchie's appeal to the Legion to protect the law and incidentally to protect the state's prisoner. Attitudes like this will persuade most people that the super-patriotism and boasted "Americanism" of the Legion are a sham and a lie.
Another very discouraging sidelight to this lynch horror is the fact that Princess Anne, of all places in Maryland, is the last place where it would be necessary to lynch a Negro to control crime; the blacks of that neighborhood are among the most law-abiding and industrious farmers and workers in the country.
They maintain one of the best schools in the country for secondary education and vocational training of their youth: Princess Anne Academy, a branch of Morgan College, of Baltimore. They own farms, homes, churches and business enterprises, and even if a criminal of their color should have been found, it does not justify the danger, humiliation, and public injustice of a lynching.
To lynch one of them who is accused, and to deny them thus the right of trial and defense, is especially savage. For lynching could not be justified even by the established guilt of the accused, so long as there is a protest of organized society and legal authority. Another horrible feature is the part that "white women and children" took in the picture of this mob scene.

I must first introduce the subject of this sketch to a nation-wide audience in order to do fuil justice to her work and worth. Often times, a teacher, like a prophet, is not without honor save in his own country. On the contrary, Lucy E. Moten, longtime principal of the Washington Normal School, was so well known and noted in the District of Columbia that her contribution to the cause of Negro education deserves a wider audience.
Lucy Moten was a pioneer in the field of normal education for Negroes after the pattern of prevailing modes in this field of pedagogy. After completing her training in a New England normal school, she began her teaching career in the Washington public schools in 1876. After serving her
time principal of the Washington Normal School, was so well known and noted in the District of Columbia that her contribution to the cause of Negro education deserves a wider audience.

LUCY MOTEN'S INFLUENCE
OVER YOUNG MINDS
Whatever the Washington public schools have been during the past generation and whatever they are to be must be attributed largely to Lucy Moten. The half thousand teachers who have conducted these schools were, and today largely are, the product of her handiwork. After finishing the high school these normal pupils were placed in her hands to be molded after her own fashioning. This was the day of personal pedagogy when the teacher makes over the pupil in her own image and likeness without the restrictions and restraints of a mechanized system. Today the public school pupil is as much machine-made as the output of the factory. The individual teacher impresses scarcely more influence than any part of the machine on the factory-made product. Dr. Moten would not today take first rank when curricula, schedule time tables, pre-requisites and technical content count for more than personal influence and impressive power. She rather belongs to the Mark Hopkins type where the pupil, the log and the teacher were all sufficient. She took over the crude product from the humble homes and by inspiration of her personal touch imparted to them a culture, refinement and discipline which enabled them to stand up and stand out as exemplars, not only to the children brought immediately under their charge, but to the whole community as well.

TAUGHT DEPORTMENT AND
ART OF CONVERSATION
Her constituency consisted mainly of girls who most stood in need of the refining influence which she imparted. She taught them how to dress, how to decorate their person, how to conduct a conversation, and how to deport themselves in society. She relied upon the spirit that maketh alive rather than upon the letter which too often killle.
The race very much needs today a private finishing school conducted in the spirit of Lucy Moten, where our best womanhood might acquire the gifts, graces, and charm and manners of refined womanhood, with a lesser amount, if necessary, of chemistry, physics and political economy.
While principal of the normal school, Lucy Moten studied medicine at the Howard University Medical School, not with the intention of practicing this profession, but in order that she might the more thoroughly understand the physiology and psychology of sex and the more efficiently direct the girls placed under her care and keepling along the way she should go.
After serving the schools for more than forty years, she withdrew, due in part to certain administrative unpleasantness which is inevitable in the readjustment of the old and the new order. She was retired with a comfortable pension, which enabled her to spend the rest of her declining eyars in dignity and leisure.

TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY
IN. EUROPE
Dr. Moten was an exponent of self-culture through reading, travel and contact with the best cultural sources which the human race has developed. To this end she spent her vacations mostly in European travel where she came in contact with the libraries, museums, art galleries, and elite personalities of the old world. She thus adorned herself in order that she might bestow herself upon her pupils and her wide circle of friends and acquaintances with whom she came in contact. Dr. Moten died a few months ago. Her departing soul could well look back upon her enduring monument built in the achievements, hopes and aspiration of her thousands of pupils and be satisfied. The Washington colored schools might well build her a memorial; for

The Washington colored schools might well build her a memorial; for allowing due credit to the rest who have contributed so much to their upbuilding, it is no disparagement to say that she wrought more excellently than any other.
In her death she signified and sealed the chief work to which she bent her aims in life—the widespread dissemination of refinement and culture.
She made Howard University her sole legates of her life's savings, to be used to enable graduates of the university to extend their cultural opportunity by travel and contact with the older civilizations of foreign lands.
In her life and in her death, Dr. Lucy Moten has left to the educational and general life of the race
"A heritage it seems to me, that's well worth while to hold in fee."
Pioneers Wanted 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."
Negroes should aspire to positions of usefulness abroad just as thousands of other Americans who have emigrated for that purpose. Considering the few efficient Negroes who have availed themselves of this opportunity and the useful positions which these occupy, one would think that they have a better chance for such promotion than in America. While the tendency at all times is to employ the native born in preference to foreigners, outside corporations doing business abroad are not always held down by such restrictions.
efficiency and preserving the health of the natives, however, there been some change in this attitude France Encourages Negroes
France is probably foremost this tendency to encourage the gro to rise to higher spheres. This country is making the first step away from the policy of ploitation to that of co-operate with the natives. Negroes, however, have not always avail themselves of the opportunity thereby offered in the French sessions.
An American corporation, which because of race prejudice may not be sufficiently courageous to employ a Negro in a conspicuous position in the United States, would have little scruple in placing him thus advantageously where race hate is not so pronounced. The undersigned was offered such a position in 1907, but he turned down the opportunity to continue the study of the fourth dimension and the mystery of space.
It is not expected that every well-prepared Negro will desire to live abroad for a commercial or industrial career, and we cannot be so sanguine as to think that many such opportunities may be thus provided for the race, but a sufficient number to relieve considerably the congested field of competition which does not offer any hope to many aspirants in the United States. In all crises Europeans have resorted to this measure to relieve their situation. This accounts for the Europeanization of America.
While writing these very lines I made the acquaintance of a white man, an engineer, who, instead of returning to the United States after serving in the World War, went to Rhodesia and used African natives in developing one of its largest mines. He is now rich, but the Negro veteran who returned to Harlem or State Street to be sure of having his funeral preached in a Methodist or Baptist Church, is now wondering whether the usual bread line in those centers will be maintained this winter. There are many foreign corporations which would like to make use of Negro engineers, but I understand that the education of the Negro along this line has been tabooed by the managers of the "Capstone of Negro Education" to give more time to such things as astronomy, theology and somatology. May God deliver the Negr from mis-education!
Ability Needed
Large commercial firms will gladly use at certain points abroad Negroes who have the ability of salesmen. These promoters have little or no prejudice. In most cases where they pay attention to racial differences they are forced to do so. These business establishments, as a rule, care nothing about the race problem as such. They are established to make money by developing trade.
If the Negro can materially assist them in working toward this end, they would just as soon employ him as any one else. The small number of Negroes thus employed at such points, then, is not due so much to prejudice as to the inefficiency of Negroes in the business sphere. They will not get away from the status of parasites. They make themselves satisfied with menial service and drudgery when with an independent spirit and the will to do they might become conspicuous in the commercial sphere.
At a few points in the British possessions and at a still larger number in the French the rise of Negroes in business is encouraging. What they are doing, however, is largely in co-operation with white captains of industry who have pre-empted the field and obtain the large share of the returns. In Paris at the present time a Negro corporation is endeavoring to gain control of the copa production in a certain area of Africa by appealing to the natives' race pride, but it is gradually dawning upon these slow promoters that they are behind time. The trade has been so thoroughly monopolized by European corporations that a new firm has no chance.
Lack Pioneering Spirit
This should teach the Negro a lesson. He must be a pioneer. He should not wait until the trail blazers have established their rights by actual occupation and then try to dislodge them by lamentations and resolutions. When he hears of virgin soil he must leave his comfortable fideside and brave the dangers of the frontier to make good his claim to a proportionate share of the wealth of mother earth.
Here and there abroad the professional Negro also has a chance. When an European is in need of such service he does not so readily draw the race line as Americans do. As a rule, however, European governments have not encouraged the preparation of Negroes to serve thus on that continent, and some of them have even discouraged their aspiration to such positions in their own colonies, for every such Negro thus functioning deprives some European of the opportunity to rise in this sphere.
In the awakening of certain European nations to the realization of the importance of developing the
efficiency and preserving the health of the natives, however, there has been some change in this attitude. France Encourages Negroes France is probably foremost in this tendency to encourage the Negro to rise to higher spheres. Thus this country is making the first step away from the policy of exploitation to that of co-operation with the natives. Negroes, however, have not always availed themselves of the opportunity thereby offered in the French Possessions.
For example, an American Negro who made a fine record in one of the French medical schools last year was asked to serve at a post in one of the French colonies. He would not give the proposal a serious thought and returned to Harlem where there are so many Negro and Jewish doctors preying upon an impoverished population that they have to resort to all sorts of methods to make ends meet.
Another American Negro graduate in medicine in France was offered the same sort of opportunity this year, and he has decided to accept it; but his relatives and friends are all pleading with him not to go. "You may die down there," they say to him. "We may never see you again. Your bones will not be buried by your dear old father's. Please do not go." Here we see again a most striking example of the lack of vision which accounts for the failure of the Negro to rise in competition with others in the modern world.
"Low Traits"
It is very evident, then, that the Negroes who have nothing to offer people abroad, and whose record there tends to confirm the malicious reports concerning the "low traits" of colored people are those ready and willing to go.
The so-called educated Negro who should have enough grasp of world conditions to manifest some of the pioneering spirit is rather settled down to what his oppressors permit him to glean in the ghetto. He is a sort of helpless creature without initiative and therefore waiting for something to happen. Something is happening, too, but we need not comment on what it is.
Some of this timidity, of course is due not altogether to what is taught but to what is not taught. Our schools use books which either ignore altogether the undeveloped countries, especially those inhabited by Negroes, or refer to them as howling wildernesses. American Negroes, then, have not much more courage today than the illiterate slaves had before the Civil War. If their owners thought they might run away they told these bondmen that the place to which they were going was so hot that they would burn up or so cold that they would freeze. The report that the woods bristled with dangerous animals served also to hold them on the spot of the undoing. Negroes of today, as a rule, think the same about Africa.

PRAYER OF THE SHUT-IN
Lord, me see from day to day
The beauties that around me lay.
Help me to know and realize
The gifts I have but do not prize
To know that when things darkest
seem
It is because I've lost the gleam;
I've shut my eyes and cannot see
The love and joy that flow 'round
me;
Because within my callous heart,
I only feel the ache and smart.
It's hard to see the world at play
When I must stay shut in all day;
But let me feel from hour to hour
Thy holy love and strengthening
power
Since I at joy do not complain,
Oh, give me patience under pain.
Clear my vision and let me see
Love and kindness that come to me.
Grant me the feel of health and
glow—
A heart that's glad because I know
It's not blue skies that make bright
days;
It's not the sun that lights path-
ways;
Nor light that tears darkness apart
But what you carry in your heart,
Dear God, there's a grateful heart
within
For these things I learn while here
shut in!
This and That
This and That
The penalty of being conspicuous is that your mistakes are also conspicuous.
Useful knowledge acquired today makes every succeeding day more productive.
It's embarrassing when the man who tells the joke laughs louder than you can.
Invest in yourself, if you have port which they are giving me in confidence in yourself.
SPECIAL FEATURES
This Week
GEORGE ARMWOOD
This week I wish to dedicate this space to the memory of the late George Armwood, the feeble-minded victim of a crazed man at Princess Anne, Md., on last Wednesday week.
Armwood's charred body now lies in Potter's Field, Somerset County, Md., and his soul rests, I hope, in the bosom of his Maker, God.
George's form of mob by mob violence is nothing new; nay, untold numbers have passed on before him. Civilization only bowed to barbarism by his horrid death.
Men and women, parents and children, in a united body of 3,000, took unlawfully that which only God can give, and also his divine privilege to take—life.
Armwood's gruesome death is only another acknowledgement of the inadequate laws of this Democratic government to protect its citizens. Within a few hundred miles of the national capital an unhuman act of "cultured citizens" has converted the dignity of the United States Constitution to a mere scrap of worthless paper, so far as the protection promised its citizens is concerned. Article 14, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States reads: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of the law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
The state of Maryland, and the officials that happened to be responsible for the victim's safety, are not alone responsible for this hideous crime. The major fault lies at the very door of the White House. The President could and should arouse the nation against the ever growing evil of lynching. The life and liberty of the citizens of the United States should predominate all other issues; for upon both rely the moral and economical welfare of the country.
We, as a race, can not undo what has been done. George Armwood was unmercifully slain by a mob of whites. All investigations to be made will constitute whites, many of whom took a hand in the affair. The whole case will be white-washed and passed to oblivion the same as the lynching of Matthew Williams at Salisbury two years ago. Not one member of that 5,000 murderers will be punished.
Nevertheless we can prevent a repetition of such barbarism by means of the ballot. We must make an issue of lynching, and demand that all candidates that cater to our votes promise to do all in their power to inact an anti-lynch law. The time has come that we Negroes must fight for ourselves, think for ourselves, and pray for ourselves. George Armwood, I pray that your death will serve to awaken your race to race consciousness, race pride and race unity. If this end is reached your death by mob violence will not be in vain.
TREZZVANT W. ANDERSON
A NEGRO ON THE
D.C. BOARD OF HEALTH
There are 144,00 Negroes in Washington, spending over three million dollars per year for drugs and health necessities, including hospital treatments, and other medical attentions, and yet for all the large number of Negro physicians and dentists here, we do not have a single Negro on the District Board of Health, not a single person whose primary attention and interest can be put into development of better health conditions among Washington Negroes. Why? Because D.C. Negroes for years rambling along in the smug complacency of their own superiority, have failed to wake up and see that they should be so represented, not only because they are one-third of the whole population, but because of the great need for a Negro in such a place for the benefit of the local people. Washington rates third in the national list of high death rates. Memphis, and New Orleans alone have higher death rates. Washington's high death rate is contributed to mainly by its minority population, the Negroes, yet not once has any thought of organized attention been given to the problem of Negro health. Think that over, you Negro M.D.'s etc., and then do something about it. You can HAVE representation on the Board of Health; you OUIGHT to have it, and you CAN get it, if you will fight for it. Why not?
I wish to thank those wideawake and energetic newspermen who are the eyes for fourteen million Negroes in the U.S., for the whole-hearted and enthusiastic sup-

At one time I thought that all newspaper editors were an indifferent lot of human beings and did not give a hoot for a thing unless it had some news value in it. My opinion of the members of the fourth estate has changed since the flood of letters I have received from so many.
That this group of over-worked men should take time off to write a few words of congratulation convinces me that they have hearts after all and under their gruff exteriories they are real men of flesh and blood. I have never seen some who wrote me and in appreciation of their kindness I am publishing in this column some of the letters I have received the past few days. Other letters are of a more personal nature, and I shall not give their contents, but shall cherish for the well wishes they contain.

Lettia Virtress Sylvester, author of "Magnolia Blossoms and Holly Berries" "Marah, a child of the South," "Caroline" etc, has given us one of the most discerning stories of the Southern Mountaineer in her "My Kentucky Cousin," that has even been produced. It is not only true to type in a most strikingly detailed way, but at the same time "My Kentucky Cousins" is a story that will hold anyone spellbound, because its characters are not only true to their special type, but true to human nature the world over, so that they are indeed a unique contribution 'o psychology as well. And, being wholly true to a type so little known to the public in general, the reader is led, breathless, from one astonishing situation to another, that is exciting in the extreme, and as exhilarating as a first airplane trip.
In the beginning of the book, one is charmed by the description of the beautiful mountains.

Dandees’ Barn Dance
In the social whirl it has been a question as to what club or or-

CAMPUS COLIC
By THE CO-ED
Things were quiet on Howard's front during the beginning of the week, but, boy, oh, boy, how they did liven up when the State (Virginia, in case you don't know) boys came to town. On the whole, the bunch was quite good looking, but, of course, one has to make allowances.
Just think or it! A popularity contest at dear old M.T.C. Every class is to select a candidate. The "peanies" have selected Jessie Coleman, a graduate of Cardozo High, who made Section A. The sophomores have selected three candidates, Helen Montgomery, Dorothea Shumate and Pearl Holland. The students are to buy votes for their respective candidates to raise money for the team. So far, M.T.C. has been the proud victor of all games played. Her home-coming game is to be staged, Saturday, against Cheyney, Of course, we expect all of the M.T.C.'s to be there. I'll be seeing you!
The Student Council has prepared 300 caps for the upper classmen. These caps cost thirty cents and are to be seen in profusion at the game. "Peanies" are not supposed to buy these caps, but are to wear the ones bought earlier in the year. And are the "peanies" yelling because their caps cost fifty cents. "We demand a return of ten cents," says one freshie-girl. Oh! The Barn Dance Saturday. Every time you turn around it's a barn dance. They're all the rage now. Well, anyway one of these barn dances is to be given at M.T.C., Saturday. The Freshmen are endeavoring to return the reception tendered them by the Seniors. Of course the Cheyney team will be there, and if M.T.C. wins the game—what a ball! What a ball!
Guess what! A Greek Letter Society is being founded at M.T.C. The name of this Society is to be Rho Delta Rho. The upper classmen are to be taken in by votes. The Sophomores, by the way, are the charter members. No Freshmen have a chance. Too bad! A memorable scene was the one of the Howard game Saturday. Students, rigged up in the very latest togs, which went to make up the colors of the rainbow, wore happy smiles on their faces as Howard came out victor over State 20-2. I hear that: A certain young lady with blonde hair was at the Student Council, saying, "I can dish it out, but I can't take it." Why dish it out? The Winnie Winkles are giving a dance the Tuesday after Xmas and are asking all other clubs to leave that night free.
A certain young football player who for the first time against State, received a scar on his cheek and refuses to have it treated so that he may bear it as a scar of glory. How about it, Number "Two?" Many people are lamenting because after all the wonderful playing Joe Ware has done, he is not able to enjoy the sport. Let's give him a big hand. The initials R.D.R. stand for more than Rho Delta Rho. What is it? Ask Everett Cooper, Tiggie or any of the like. "Roughhouse" Cooper, a star of M.T.C.c football team is slightly rushing, or being rushed by a browned-skin girl with bobbed hair, None other than F.B.F.-Number Three. The F.B.F.'s is a secret organization. Who are they? What does it mean? Look out for a pleasant surprise from them.
The Rho Delta Rho is not an extra-curricula activity.

Things were quiet on Howard's front during the beginning of the creek, but, boy, oh, boy, how they did liven up when the State (Virginia, in case you don't) know) boys came to town. On the whole, the bunch was quite good looking, but, of course, one has to make allowances.
"Sign my card," was the by-word of every Howard student Friday. The cards read, "Let's Go, Bisons! Stampede State." It was a race to see which one got his card filled first. I think the prize should go to "Kitty" Middleton, who not only had one filled, but three. Trust "Kitty" to do a thing like that.
The student body turned in out full force Saturday at the game to see our boys put State under the soil. With the crowd cheering madly the boys shim-shammed on down the field to Elton Reed's saxophone solo. In case you have forgotten the score it was 20-2. An orchid to the team!
The climax of it all was at the Student Council's barn dance Saturday evening. The dining hall was transformed into a typical corn field so the "country hickens" wouldn't feel out of place. Oh, yes, they were there in full force even to their hard cider, or, at least, that's what they called it. Among those seen were Alan Bailey, liking like a country parson dancing with the one and only Owen Plummer. . . Edwina Ridgely beehind some corn-stalks, talking with a certain "Tommy" from State. . . Harrison Hobson trying his best to look happy . . . between you 'n me I think he's in field. . . Grayce Scott with her Jimmie. . . "Happy" Robinson a little bit under the weather.
... Gordon King, now down to the "pill" school... Clyde Howard trying to yell his lungs out much to the disgust of Gladys W. ... two profs, one tall and the other short, looking sour because a certain young lady cut their dances. ... Adele Reed with Dudley Clark. ... Oh, but what's the use, I could go on forever like this. You just should have been there yourself.

The Bloomingdale Club carried off the game with the How Comes by a score of 187 to 169. It was difficult to tell what the outcome of the contest would be, as each won at two tables. The summing up revealed the above score.

Russian Stuffed Cabbage is Palatable, Attractive Dish

Russian Stuffed Cabbage
You can't get away from the fact that a new dish on the table whets the appetite of those for whom you cook—whether family or employer. Having something different is a good habit to form.
This week I suggest that you try the Russian stuffed cabbage, baked fish and vegetables, liver loaf, spinach souffle, and white charlotte russe.
Russian Stuffed Cabbage
1 medium sized head of cabbage
½ to 1 pound of chopped meat
2 or 3 cups of boiled rice
1 onion
Seasoning, butter, cheese
Brown a chopped onion in butter or fat, add the meat and cook until meat is done. Mix with the boiled rice, salt, and pepper. Drop the cabbage into boiling salted water for about five minutes, or long enough to loosen the outside leaves slightly.
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 egg
½ teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon onion juice
Milk
Mince liver, ham and mix; add bread crumbs, parsley, well-beaten egg, paprika, onion juice and enough milk to bind ingredients.
Put in gheeed pan and bake for 45 minutes in moderate oven. Serve with brown gravy. Serves eight.
Spinach Souffle
1 No. 2 can spinach
Take out, cool, start folding back the leaves without breaking them, as you would opening a rose. When about six or eight layers are folded back, scoop out the rest of the cabbage and chop it fine. Start folding back the leaves, placing a spoonful of meat and rice between each leaf. When all the leaves are back and the cabbage is whole again, tie it up with a string, put into a baking dish, put the left over chopped cabbage around it, butter the whole thing and bake it. If you like cheese either sprinkle a little on top or make cheese sauce and pour over it, but it makes it too rich for some people, and is very good without it.
Baked Fish and Vegetables
For baked fish, use trout or white-fish, if available; otherwise I think mackerel, flounder, or a slice of halibut would do. For each pound of fish, cut 3 medium sized peeled potatoes in inch cubes; slice 1 carrot and 1 onion, and cube 3 tomatoes.
Put all vegetables, salted a little, in casserole or pan with lid (Grease it first.) Lay fish over vegetables, dot generously with butter; dust with salt, pepper, and paprika. Bake until vegetables are done. Turn fish over once—having top side browned when done.
If you are wearing your troubles but lightly, decorate it with parsley.
Liver Loaf
1 pound parboiled liver
½ pound cooked ham
½ cup bread crumbs

| 1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 egg
Mince liver, ham and mix; add bread crumbs, parsley, well-beaten egg, paprika, onion juice and enough milk to bind ingredients. Put in greased pan and bake for 45 minutes in moderate oven. Serve with brown gravy. Serves eight.
Spinach Souffle
1 No. 2 can spinach
2 level tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg yolk (beaten)
1 egg white (beaten)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Drain the spinach. Press the spinach through a sieve. Add 3 tablespoons of the drained liquor to this. Make a white sauce blending milk and flour. Heat. As the sauce thickens add the butter, salt and Worcestershire sauce. Mix sauce with spinach. Add beaten egg yolk. Fold in stiffly beaten egg white. Bake 30 minutes in a moderate oven. Serves four.
White Charlotte Russe
Take 1 pint of sweet cream and 1 pint of sweet milk; put these together and whip to a froth. Meanwhile, dissolve one-third of a box of gelatine in one teacup of cold water, letting it stand half an hour. Then put it on the stove to melt. Beat the whites of 4 eggs to a stiff froth, sweeten and flavor the cream to taste. Stir in the gelatine. Beat until it begins to thicken or congeal, then whip in the whites of the eggs. Turn into mold or cups. Serve plain or with custard. Fruit may be used, putting in fruit just before the charlotte congeals.

1 cup milk
Salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup banana pulp
1 cup cream, whipped or
1 cup evaporated milk,
whipped
Beat egg well. Add sugar, stir in flour and milk and stir over hot water, thick. When cool, add salt, vanilla, blend well. Freeze in automatic refrigerator or pack in salt and ice about three hours, or until set. (To whip evaporated milk, scald, chill well, beat until stiff.)
COCOANUT BETTY
Beat the volks of two eggs until thick, add ¼ of a cup of sugar, 1 cup shredded cocoanut, 6 tablespoons of fine crumbs, 1 cup milk ½ cup melted butter. Then fold the stiffly beaten egg white. Bake in a well-battered baking dish in a slow oven, 325 degrees F., until set or when a knife placed in the center comes out clean.
SUNSHINE SAUCE
Moisten 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in ½ cup of cold water. Then pour in 1 pint of boiling water. Add ½ cup of sugar. Beat 1 egg until very light. Then pour over it gradually this hot cornstarch, stirring all the while. Beat just a minute, add 1 teaspoon of butter and a dessert-spoon of vanilla. This is delicious, with any fruit of gelatine dessert.
WAFFLE BATTER
2 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder,
(sifted with flour)
2 cups milk
2 well-beaten eggs
2 tablespoons shortening
(butter, lard, or oil)
½ teaspoon salt
Put eggs in a big bowl with
shortening and salt and add other
ingredients alternately while beating.
Have waffle irons hot before
mixing batter, which should be
beaten thoroughly. If you have
no waffle irons, substitute pancakes for waffles.
CUCUMBER RELISH
1 quart pared and sliced cucumbers, not too large
2 small onions, sliced
1 small green pepper, chopped.
Put in granite or porcelain dish; sprinkle with salt. Let stand 3 hours, then drain. Add 20 whole cloves, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon white mustard seed, 1 tablespoon grated horseradish, ½ teaspoon tumeric, and vinegar to cover. Dilute vinegar if too strong. Heat and seal. Do not boil.
For the Cookie Jar
SOFT GINGER COOKIES
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup molasses
1 cup sour milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon soda
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 teaspoons ginger
5 cups flour
Cream butter, add water and well beaten egg. Sift flour, then measure it, and add the soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and ginger and sift again. Add the molasses to the sour milk and add alternately to the butter-sugar mixture with the dry ingredients.
Drop by teaspoons on greased pans, allowing a space between the cookies as they spread during baking. Bake in a moderate oven 410 degrees F. for 10 or 15 minutes. This recipe will make about a hundred cookies. For variety frost some of them while they are still warm with the following icing:
Confectioners Icing
To the unbeaten white of one egg add 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and 3 teaspoons of cream (any kind of fruit juices may be substituted for the cream). Beat thoroughly and drip in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. Spread on warm cookies.
NOODLE LOAF
1 1/4 cups noodles
1 cup soft bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons green pepper
1/2 cup grated cheese
1/4 cups canned tomatoes
1/4 cup melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
Dash white pepper
Boil the noodles in boiling, salted water until tender, then drain. Mix all ingredients and turn into a buttered baking dish. Bake about 35 minutes in a moderate oven, 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Unmold carefully and serve at once. Garnish with parsley and stuffed olives. Serves six.

Ailanta University Opens Its New Residence Halls with a Large Reception
ATLANTA, Ga. Atlanta University formally opened its new residence halls last Friday night with a reception which was attended by several hundred local alumni faculty members and trustees of the institutions for higher learning in Atlanta, and other friends of the university. In the large lounge of the women's desidence hall the guests were received by President and Mrs. John Hope and Miss Josephine Elizabeth Robinson, hostess of the halls. During the course of the evening opportunity was given to inspect the residence halls which provide living accommodations for more than 200 persons, and the dining halls and service unit.
The residence halls which were completed late this summer are located on Chestnut Street, occupying the entire frontage between West Hunter and Beckwith Streets. The group conforms to the Georgian colonial architecture of the other new university buildings. The two residence halls provide individual rooms for 95 men and 98 men. In addition there are suites of two rooms and bath for married members of the faculty and their wives.
In each main hall are spacious lounges and reception rooms for students and their guests. These reception rooms, as well as the two large and small dining rooms and the individual rooms and suites are furnished throughout with maple of a modified colonial design to conform to the architecture and decoration of the buildings. To accommodate students who wish to do their own laundering and ironing, one public-utility room has been provided on each floor. In the basement of each building are storage rooms for trunks.

National Association Does Not See Need of Having Dean of Women Live on Campus. Also Asks Continuance of College of Education
The National Association of College Women in a letter to the board of trustees of Howard University, last week asked that a woman physician and trained dietitian be employed at the university.
The association also suggested to the board that it was not necessary to have Dean Slowe's residence moved to the campus.
The university trustee board abolished the position of woman physician last June. Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee held the position until that time.

Women Barred
With these policies of the university in mind, it was hoped that Howard University could with confidence submit to certain institutional requirements and allow schedule, and their designation to standing committees.
Realization of such hope we fear however, must be subject to the policy of the board of trustees of continued support of a woman physician and a trained dietitian in
The letter to the trustee board was signed by Mrs. Vivian J. Cook president; Mrs. Ethel Popel Shaw, corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Juanita P. Howard, chairman of the committee on standards.
The letter follows:
Notes Improvements
The committee on standards of the National Association of College Women, a nation-wide organization of Negro women graduates of various colleges, has, during the past ten years, been working with Howard University conducive to the finest development of the women of the institution.
We refer specifically to (1) the appointment of a woman who, with her personnel has maintained a body of fine traditions for women; (2) the appointment of a school nurse, a woman physician, or trained dietitian; (3) the creation of a board of social directors of faculty rank women students live in a cultural atmosphere.
Social Service School Needed
We have been gratified also to see the development of our students, signered under the charter as the Normal Department in to the College of Education, one of the very few teacher-training schools (for Negroes) of Class A college rank. Moreover, we have, moreover, the confidence of the public that gretted, however, that the university, by the success of its graduates.

SEVEN COUNTIES REPRESENTED AT SCHOOL MEETING
2-Day Session of Teachers to Return to Alexandria Next Year
ALEXANDRIA, VA.—The teachers in colored schools of Northern Virginia held a most successful conference at the Parker-Gray School, Friday and Saturday, October 21 and 22. All seven of the counties and the City of Alexandria were well represented. When it is realized that some of the counties did not close their school, but permitted teachers to attend the conference if they would make up the time, you can get some idea of the interest shown on the part of Negro teachers. The Negro population in this section is small and a very high per cent of the teachers employed attended in spite of the depression and other difficulties.
Fauquier county was represented by 25 teachers and one supervisor; Fairfax had 25 teachers present; the City of Alexandria, 23 teachers; Arlington county 13; Culpeper and Prince William 12 each; Loudoun 8; Rapahannock 5.
Two supervisors from nearby Maryland, teachers in private schools in the city, and a number of teachers from the City of Washington attended the sessions.
Two assistant superintendents, a director of primary instruction, two of her assistants, one principal and eight teachers from the school system of Washington, participated on the program as speakers, demonstration teachers or leaders of discussions.
Virginia State College was represented by its president, Dr. John M. Gandy, and its director of extension work, Mrs. Rose Butler Brown, who is also president of the Virginia State Teachers' Association. Mrs. Brown made a wonderful contribution to the conference not only through her mastery leadership in the panel discussion, on "Helping the Public Understand what the Modern School is Trying to Do," but as well through her effective summary of the strong and weak points of the conference.
The program consisted of a series of demonstrations for the elementary
women on faculties in colleges for Negroes we have followed the various appointments of women to the different departments of the university both academic and administrative, their rank and salary schedules, and their destination to standing committees.
**Women Barred**
With these policies of the university in mind, it was hoped that Howard University could with confidence submit to certain organizations such as the Association of Women in Education. Women data which would gain recognition the university as an institution through the acceptance of its alumnae as members. Realization of such hope we fear however, cannot be expected if the policy of the board of trustees of continuing without a physician and a trained dietitian in followed.
Asks Reconsideration
ASK Recommendation
We have been particularly proud that the influence of women at Howard University has been felt in other communities. As a result not only have there been the special or sporadic attempts of Howard alumnae in specific areas of the university, but the faculty fostered at the university, but in emulation of such spirit there have been held during the past four years both state and national conferences of woman personnel workers in the university.
In the disastric changes contemplated in the reentry program of Howard University, may we suggest, therefore that the board of trustees be most discriminatory, and that the faculty which served as objectives for other colleges may be preserved and the students of the university have the fullest opportunities for self-development.
Fine Recommendations
In view of the needs of the students of the university, we therefore, submit the following final recommendations:
That as soon as feasible practical and theoretical instruction in social service be offered.
That the College of Education be continued
That every effort be made to maintain all the departments in the College of Applied Science.
That the practice of having a woman physician and trained dietitian be resumed.
That in view of the presence on the campus of two Dormitory Directors, there be given further consideration as to whether it be necessary to establish likewise on the campus the residence of the Dean of Women.
and junior high school, several discussions including a panel discussion, a new feature, added this year, and a series of addresses. The panel included a supervisor, a minister, a layman, a college professor, and several teachers. It was conducted by Mrs. Rose Buttler Brown.
The outstanding addresses of the conference, not already mentioned were the one which opened the conference, by Mrs. W. C. Mayer, director of primary instruction of the schools of Washington, and the other delivered at the public meeting Friday evening by Dr. Howard Hale Long, assistant superintendent of Washington schools. Mrs. Mayer delivered an address on the part of the teacher and supervisor can play in the N.R.A. in education. Dr. Long's discussion dealt with playing our part in the reconstruction period, regardless of praise or income.
Music was furnished by Miss Eunice Diggs, a solist of the city and the Parker-Gray High School chorus under the direction of Miss V. L. Tibbs. The Rev. A. W. Adkins, pastor of the First Baptist Church of the city, and the Rev. Mr. Stewart, of Middleburg, Va., offered the invocation and benediction.
Mrs. E. W. Terrell, Mrs. E. H. Webb, Mrs. I. M. Pearson, Miss M. L. Strong, Miss T. M. Caroll, Miss E. V. Robinson, Mrs. F. T. Broadus and C. C. Bannester from the several schools of Washington, conducted demonstration lessons and Mrs. W. C. Mayer, Mrs. E. R. Wheatland, Miss Harriett Robinson from the above system conducted criticism periods.
Miss Laura Dorsey, Miss Nellie Martin, Miss Albertine M. Johnson, Mrs. Helen Robinson, Mrs. Lillian Holland, Mrs. Julia Pritchett, James Howard, and Mrs. Bernice Worrell of the Parker-Gray School presented demonstrations in physical education, and Mrs. Helen Durant, teacher of home economies had charge of meals and refreshments served to the visitors. Wesley D. Elam, president of the conference, served as master of ceremonies.
The conference elected its president, Mr. Elam, to represent the body at the State Teachers' Conference at Hampton during the Thanksgiving holidays. It was decided to have the same type of program next year with the added feature of a modern setup for a program in a one-teacher school, where all grades must be taught by one teacher. The conference will return to Alexandria next year.
The election of officers which will be held every two years from now on will be held next year. The officers of the conference are Wesley D. Elam, president; Wm. C. Taylor, vice-president; D. Oswald Robinson, secretary; Mrs. Louise Archer, assistant secretary, and Leon Baltimore, Sr., treasurer. Members of the executive board are the officers, and Mrs. B. M. White, Mrs. Diana Brooks, Mrs. L. Smackum, James Howard, and John C. Walker, chairman. James Howard acted as registrar. The program committee was composed of Mrs. L. Archer, Mr. Taylor, John C. Walker, Mr. Baltimore, Sr., and Mr. Elam, chairman.

COLORED LIBRA'NS ATTEND NATIONAL CONVENTION
Two Howard University Representatives Take Part in Windy City Meeting CHICAGO, Ill. (ANP)—Among the 3,000 delegates at the fifty-fifth annual conference of the American Library Association held at the Stevens Hotel this week the following out of ten Negro librarians were seen:
Thomas F. Blue, chief of the Negro division of the Louisville Public Library; Mrs. Albert Brown acting librarian, Howard University, Washington, D.C.; A. Mercer Daniels, acting law librarian, Howard University, Washington, D.C. Mrs. Sadie Peterson-DeLaney, librarian, Veterans' Bureau Hospital, Tuskegee, Ala.; Mrs. Lillian Childress Hall, public library, Indianapolis, Ind.; Mrs. Rachel Harris, librarian, Negro division, Louisville Public Library; Miss Elizabeth Johnson, librarian, Central High School, Louisville, Ky.; Mrs. Emma Bryat Lewis, librarian, Kentucky State College, Frankfort Ky.; Mrs. Margaret Reynolds, reference librarian, Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn
Attendance Increased
The increasing large number of Negro librarians who attend these conventions each year shows a growing interest in the field and indicates that there is now a fairly large group of women and men with academic and professional training supplemented by practical experience who are capable and ready to assume responsible positions.
Mrs. Sadie Peterson Delaney at Tuskegee is the only Negro in charge of a government hospital library. Mr. Daniels, at Howard, is the only Negro supervising a law library. Among graduates of library schools in recent years there are many Negroes who have received the B.S. degree in Library Science from Michigan, Illinois, Columbia, Wisconsin, Simmons, Syracuse, and Western Reserve Universities.
Has Master's Degree
One woman, Mrs. Dorothy Burnett Porter, is the only colored person to receive a master's degree in library science. One member of this group, Miss Margaret Reynolds, at Fisk, is the only Negro member of PhLLambda Sigma, a national honorary scholastic fraternity. The training of librarians means much to Negro institutions since the rating of these institutions depends upon the professional training by the librarians as well as upon that of the other faculty members. Thus the field of librarianship today offers opportunities to the young Negro rivalling those of the teaching profession.
Wins $12,500 for Automobile Accident
CHICAGO.—(ANP)—Miss Ruby Johnson, 17, was awarded $12,500 by a jury in the circuit court here, over which Judge Normyle was presiding last Thursday, after it was shown that she had been seriously injured by a car driven by Charles Nottbolm, Jr., at 47th and Langley Avenue, in October 1931.

BANDIT SUSPECT DIES IN GUN WAR WITH 2 OFFICERS
Cop Also Shot in Thigh During Battle in Dark Hallway
Two bullets from a local policeman's pistol cut short the life of Fred Briggs, 28, of 318 New York Avenue, Northwest, Monday, when he engaged in a lead battle with two officers seeking to arrest him for pointing a revolver at a taxi driver and refusing to pay him his fare. Policeman A. B. Clark, white of the Second Precinct, one of the officers who took part in the affray, was shot in the left thigh, and is improving at Emergency Hospital. His companion, R. D. Chenault, also white and of the Second Precinct, escaped being hit during the miniature war in which about a dozen bullets were fired. A coroner's probe into the affair will be held when Clark is able to leave the hospital.
When the smoke cleared away, Briggs was found huddled behind a bed in his room, lifeless from a bullet wound in the head and another in the body. According to police, a .45 calibre automatic lay on the floor.
Earnest A. Fairfax, a taxi driver first called police to the scene. He told the officers that Briggs had ridden in his auto to the apartment house where the shooting later occurred. As they neared the house, Briggs is said to have drawn a pistol, pointed it at him, jumped out of the taxi, and fled into the building.
The cab driver called the police and Clarke and Chenault responded in a scout car. The officers went into the building opening doors on the third floor, a shot is said to have blazed out of the darkened room. The battle was on. Seeing that Clark was wounded, Chenault had the janitor of the building, Elbert Bush, help him to take the wounded man to the hospital. Returning, he found Briggs dead. His body is being held at the District morgue pending the inquest.

At a conference held with L. M. Hurwitz, general manager of the Lunchonette, last Saturday, the matter of better wage conditions and the employing of more Negroes in managerial capacities was settled.

PRESIDENTIAL AID SOUGHT BY CIVIL SERVICE LEAGUE
Reinstatement Advocates not Elated Over Outcome of White House Confab
Pessimism over the attitude of the White House in regard to their efforts to regain lost government jobs was expressed by 51 persons affected by the Economy Act and "marriage persons" clause" in attendance at a meeting of the Civil Service Restatement League, held at the Strong John Thompson School, Twelfth and L Streets, Northwest, Tuesday night.
Miss Eleanor Nelson, chairman of the committee appointed to solicit Presidential endorsement of their fight against what they called "unfair dismissals under the Economy Act," reported that the full week her group had waited on the President had, up to that time, obtained no definite results. She told of having been offered excuses for several delays and finally referred to the Civil Service Commission.
Although the gathering was obviously discouraged an unanimous vote was immediately taken in favor of following the course as outlined by the White House.
Worthy Case Cited
During the expressions of several grievances by members of the organization, J. W. Montgomery, 1809 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, described a case involving the dismissal of a woman who several years ago had saved the government thousands of dollars and at the same time had wiped out an existing deficit in the Post Office Department through her revelations following an investigation of the facts surrounding a leakage in the department's finance. Without regard to the service thus rendered he pointed out, this woman had been discharged under certain provisions of the economy legislation.
A group of six members of the league were designated to call on Public Printer John Carter, of the Government Printing Office, to obtain a statement from him relative to the purported employment of eighty new persons in vacancies created by the dismissals of men and women with wives or husbands in the government service.
"These new persons," it was declared by Mrs. Mary G. Simms, 52 Quincy Place, Northwest, "were allegedly employed through the patronage system and they are costing the government a large amount of money for the training necessary for them to fill the jobs."
Of the fifty-one persons present at the meeting, only nine were colored.
The next meeting of the league was carded for Tuesday, November 7, at the same school.
ENGINEERING TO CONTINUE ATH. U.

"Voted, That a special committee of the board be appointed to study all current educational and financial conditions bearing upon engineering and architecture and to recommend to this board at its January, 1934, meeting, the best possible organization and curricula of improved courses in architecture and engineering to succeed the courses as at present organized."

DRIVER OF DEATH MACHINE CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED
DRIVER OF DEATH MACHINE CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED
A verdict that he died from injuries received when he was struck by an unknown hit-and-run driver while standing in a safety zone at Fourteenth and R Streets, Northwest, was returned by a coroner's jury, Friday, investigating the death of Percy Barrett, 53, of the 2000 block of L Street, Northwest.
According to James Foster, of 1310 R Street, Northwest, an eyewitness of the accident, which occurred on October 12, Barrett appeared to be going to board a car when a rapid-moving Chevrolet sedan bore down, knocked him to the street. There were two white men in the machine, Foster stated. The machine, he continued, went for nearly a block to the intersection of Fourteenth and Riggs Street. The driver is then said to have turned around and came back to the scene of the accident, parking on the opposite side of the street. The driver, according to Foster, assisted some bystanders in placing the injured man in a machine driven by Harry Jones, of 1111 Columbia Road.
The white driver is said to have directed Jones to sarry Barrett to the hospital and that he would follow. This the man failed to do, neither did he make his identity known.
Seek Other Witnesses
Seek other witnesses.
The accident was investigated by Detective Sergeant W. J. Liverman, of the Homicide Squad, and Officer J. V. McKone, of the Second Precinct. Officer McKone told the jury how he had made a house-to-house canvass of residences in the vicinity in a futile attempt to find other witnesses of the fatality. Foster also told the jury he walked over to the machine which struck Barrett, after it had been driven back. He wrote down what he took to be the tag number in the semi-darkness. However, he could identify none of the machines with combinations of the tag number which he had taken, or men questioned by police. He stated, however, that he would be able to identify the driver if he ever saw him again.
Police of the Second Precinct and the Homicide Squad yet have hopes of finding somt clue that will lead them to the identity of the driver of the death machine. Barrett died at Emergency Hospital with a fractured skull shortly after being admitted.

A man and a woman narrowly escaped death by drowning or serious injury. Friday night, when the automobile in which they were riding plunged into the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal near Potomac Street, and overturned.
The couple, Sylvester Grimm, of 1227 Twenty-second Street, Northwest, and Miss Florence Webb, 22, of Chesterbrook, Va., were standing ankle deep in water when police arrived in response to a telephone call made by a passerby.

AFRICAN SEN
Greater interest in Africa be-
cause of the large number of
American citizens of Africun de-
Ascent was advocated by Canon An-
son Phelps Stokes, of Washington
Cathedrai, before an audience at
the First’ Congregational Chureh,
under the auspices of the Commit-
tee on Race Relations of the Fed-
eration of Churches, Saturday
night.
Dr. Stokes, who was in Africa
for five months as a visiting lec-
turer of the Carnegie Foundation,
Htravelled approximately 12,000
miles over the Dark Continent with
his wife and child, The speaker
also observed that prospects of Af-
rica have been very much improved.
“Africa,” he said, “has been nez-
lected by Americans as compared
‘with Europe and Asia, But since
one-tenth of the population of the
United States is of African de-
scent, we should be more interest-
ed in that portion 0: the world than
pe are tee
Sees Possibilities
“The race problem is acute in
fonly two places,” he continued, “‘the
Union of South Africa and Kenya
Much good is being done by the
“Joint Councils which bring natives
“and whites together to face racial
“and social problems. The natives
have been backward, due to the
slave trade and the climate, but
they are people capable of great
“development under the right op-
_ portunities.”
Dr. Stokes praised the British
‘officials who. represent the crown
Hn Africa. He also spoke highly of
the administration of the French
colonies. ‘The Christian mission-
aries, he declared, are doing a noble
work, and are deserving of gener-
ous support. With regard to ro-
ligion, he said, the problem is as to
whether Mohammedanism or Chris-
tianity is destined to dominate the
continent.
Belgian Congo Conditions
Conditions in the Belgian Congo
have greatly improved, Dr, Stoke:
asserted, and there are indication:
of advancement in Liberia, Exper.
iments in self-government in por-
tions of the British domain have
been exceedingly gratifying.
Dean D, Butler Pratt presided at
the meeting; the Rev. Robert W
Brooks gave the invocation, anc
tho Rey. W. L. Darby pronounce:
the benediction. The Howard Uni
versity Glee Club, directed by Prof
Roy W. Tibbs, sang four songs.

Victim of Atlanta NRA Code
Was Victim of Church Squabble
The Rey. E. D. Hughes Who Refused to Sign Jim-Crow
Code Had to Leave the South to
: Avoid Ill Treatment
ATLANTA, Ga.—(By Jesse O.
Thomas for ANP) —The complete
story centering around the episode
involving Rev. E. D. Hughes, of
Selma, Alabama, who reported in
the press recently that he was run
out of town, has not been fully told
to the public, Without any attempt
to apologize for, exonerate or jus-
tify the uncivilized treatment that
the Rev. Mr, Hughes received at
the hands of the police department
or the mob spirit manifested by the
leading white citizens comprising
a committee before whom he was
called and who instructed him to
leave town within twenty-four
hours, in order that the public
might know the whole truth, it
seems necessary to describe the
part that Negroes played in this
unfortunate drama,
In Selma is a large bag factory
which has been an important em-
ployer of Negro labor. Connected
with the bag factory, whose presi-
dent was interested in getting a
separate labor code for the Ne-
groes working in that industry,
was a colored physician, Dr, N. D.
Walker, who served in the capacity
of the company’s physician. When-
ever any of the employees were ill,
Dr. Walker was advised by the
company and when the visit was
made, the company is alleged to
have deducted the doctor's fee fro.n
the weekly income of the patient
and paid,the doctor direct.
Zndangered Racket
In lieu of this relationship with
the company, Dr. Walker was most
active in trying to get the Negroes
to request the National Recovery
Administrator to grant a separate
code providing a sub-minimum
scale for Negroes in the factory at
Selma,
Dr, Walker and a A. G. MeCar-
roll, (Mr. MeCarroll is proprietor
of.a barber shop in Selma, whose
customers are white), and another
Negro, who is secretary of Selma
University, went to Montgomery
and appeared before the public
works committee and representa-
tives of the NRA, at the request of
F. J. Ames, owner of the factory,
in the interest of this proposed
“Jim crow code.”
Mr, Carroll was a member of the
Rev. Mr. Hughes's chureh, but had
had’ a misunderstanding ‘with his
pastor and had threatened never to
return to the church as long as
Mr, Hughes was pastor.
Mr, Hughes accuses this Mr. Car-
roll of taking advantage of his at-
titude toward the proposed code
and while the white citizens who
were afraid that Mr. Ames, the
owner of the factory, would carry
out hic threat tovmove the mill if
he had to pay the salary schedule
provided by the blanket code, were
incensed, Mr McCarroll recognized
his opportunity to: get his pastor
out of town. He is alleged to have
told the white people that the Rev.
Mr. Hughes was a comn.unist. This
gave the police department and
“the best citizens” sufficient cause,
they evidently believed, for action.
Women Rated Low
At this mecting-in Montgomery,
Dr. Walker is alleged to have stat-
ed in defense of the proposed ac-
ceptance of the blanket code, that
Negro women were not worth’ more
than $4.00 a week. This news fin-
ally reached the Negro community
in Selma. When the writer was
there, the same police department
that drove the Rey. Mr. Hughes out
of town was protecting the doc-
tor's home to. keep the Negroes
from driving him out of town, This
Was one of the refreshing aspects
of the whole situation. Negroes
have finally gotten to the point, it
seoms, where these “goats in sheep
clothing” shall be put on the spot.
1 sel AN or cea ed Vi Po
tee un-fair to Mr. Ames, but it was
manifestly un-fair to the Negro
employees in his factory.
Put on the Spot
It makes the future of the race
appear quite hopeful when this ele-
ment of our population upon whom
the Negro professional and busi-
ness men and women depend for
existence, shows disposition to put
them on the spot when it is known
that they have misrepresented the
masseg in interracial counsel.
Whenever the anti-social and in-
tolerant element of the white popu-
lation wants to exploit helpless
Negroes, they are usually able to
find a cat's paw to pull the chest-
nut out of the fire’ This man,
whom we choose to call the aver-
age citizen, if given the informa-
tion, ean usually be counted upon
to increase the mortality rate of
these un-authorized :mbassadors
at the Court of St. James.

Baltimore Workers in
Big Protest; Demand
Death to the Lynchers
BALTIMORE, Md.—Over 1,000
Negro and white workers gathered
in the Plaza Wednesday in a pro-
test demonstration against the
lynching of George Armwood, and
the attempt of Gov. Ritchie and
oter State officials “to rush Euel
Lee ti the gallows,” as the work-
ers yelled. .
The demonstration was arrang-
ed before the lynchng of Armwood,
to support the delegation which
left Friday morning for Annapolis
to demand executive clemency for
Lee. The demonstrators demand-
ed death to the lynchers of Arm-
wood, and the officials who aided
the lynchers.
Wednesday's brutal lynching on
the Eastern Shore was dramatized
by the appearance of a truck in
the demonstration, with a Negro
worker with a noose around his
neck and an imitation gallows un-
derneath him.
Ten thousand signatures of
white and Negro workers and sym-
pathizers had been collected for
presenta@on to Gov. Ritchie in be-
half of Ehel Lee.

Martin Suttler Cavorts in Creditable Style in First Game as Blue and White Field General; Courtney Shows Best for Virginia State
Led by a fighting substitute quarterback, whose "come, on fellas!" spirit seemed to ignite the spark-plug of the Bison machine, the Howard University football team came from behind an early lead to humble Tin Cooke's Virginia State College eleven before approximately 2,800 spectators at the Howard University Stadium, last Saturday afternoon. Three touchdowns followed by two successful extra-point tries smothered a visiting safety by a 20-2 for the first local victory of the 1933 season.

Three touchdowns followed by two

Marty Suttler, getting his first chance at the helm of the 1933 Blue and White combination, not only ran his team well, but figured largely in the ground-gaining efforts of the Ware-Sewell-Holloman-Suttler quartet. It was his spectacular catch of a short pass by Holloman and a subsequent 32-yard run that accounted for the first Bison touchdown.
Suttler's catch of the ball was as beautiful a piece of pigskin handling as has occurred on the grounds of the new Howard Stadium since the days of Dennie Simpson. Throwing his body into the air, the second-string quarterback caught the oval on his finger tips. Easing it down so that the jar caused by his return to earth would not dislodge it, Suttler tucked it under his arm and skipped through the entire Virginia secondary to tally.
Showboat Ware and Joie Sewell, the latter a former all-round star at Dunbar High School, contributed to the vastly improved offense of the local collegians. So consistent were these two in their ground gaining that Howard rooters cheered each time one or the other received the snap-back from center. Shag Courtney, freshman quarterback of the visiting aggregation, was the chief source of worry for the home town team. This former Roosevelt High School of Gary, Indiana, youngster, skirted the Blue and White ends and crashed the line with the smoothness and confidence of a veteran. His ability to punt and pass added to his versatility.
FIRST QUARTER
McGruder's kick-off was taken in by Wicks who returned the ball to the Virginia State 35-yard line before being hit out of the box but on a second attempt was stopped as he reached the line of scrimmage. An attempted cross-buck resulted in a fumble. Howard recovering. Batch made 2 yards on a triple pass and then added 2 more yards. Batch kicked, the ball going outside on the State 32-yard strip. A cross-buck with Courtney taking the indirect pass from Solomon resulted in a 5-yard court shot. Howard took 28 yards. After Jeter had gotten 2 yards at the Bison Court, Courtney initiated a lateral pass play by tossing to Hill just before the ball went through. Howard tackle broke through and made the kill as the 'lateral' was being attempted. An incomprehensible pass followed this 6-yard loss, and then Courtney pointed, the ball going to the Blue and Whites 16 yard line, before covered. A poor pass from McGruder, which got by Swell, went behind the goal line and Swell, recovering was tackled State 2; Howard, 'Score' Virginia State 2; Howard.
SECOND QUARTER
Hill got a yard over the Blue and White right guard. Courtney punted. Hensley grounding the ball. Batch gained a yard at left end. Sweail on, a wing-backed, guard. Batch fumbled but retreated a guard. Batch fumbled but retreated a guard outside on the State 36-yard strip. Courtney flung his body at the center of the line but was stopped cold.
After being 4 yards on an attempted swish, Hill ran back. The State mainstay kicked to McDaniel the latter returning from his own 32- to the 36-yard mark. Intercepting a pass intended for Holoman. Hill ran through a broken swish. Hill ran 4 yards before being stopped. He braced. Jeter made a shot past Howard braced. Jeter made a shot past Howard two incomplete passes netted a 5-yard penalty and a loss of 3 yards for the three plays. Jeter made 1 yard and Sweail 4 on successive line plays. Batch failed to quail a thrust at center. McDaniel punted. Hill receiving the ball, returned it to his own 33-yard ribbon before being downed. A delayed cross-back resulted in a fumble recovering on the State 36-yard mark.
On his first play of the 1983 season, Showbill Ware, standout of the 1983 Bisons, gained 2 yards over the visiting left tackle. Sewell added 3 more at the line and a 15-yard penalty was added to the 15-yard gain. Wareumbled and State received 11-yard marker. Courtney kicked immediately, the ball falling into the Blue and

State was penalized 5 yards. Ware kicked. Courtney's yard stripe and running directly cross-field for an advance of 10 yards. Hill failed on a thrust at right guard. Courtney's advantage of Howard when an ineligible visitor touched Courtney's toes and the ball was awarded Howard on the Virginians' 43-yard line. Intercepting a pass by Ware on his ball allowed Courtney to ribbon before being downed by the passer. Courtney's pass to Borican was incomplete. Hill's attempted pass to Solomon went over the goal line incomplete as the half ended.
THIRD QUARTER
Johnson took in Courtney's kick-off to begin the second half and advanced the ball from his own 5-yard line to midfield before the last State man nabbed and broke the ball. Courtney's team's effort, however, was annulled when a 15-yard penalty for illegal use of hands was called against Howard. Sewell got 5 yards at left tackle. He replaced McDaniel at quarter back, knocked off 8 yards at the visiting left tackle. Holoman added 4 yards at right tackle just previous to a 2-yard loss by Sewell at the local right fank. Suttler got 5 yards on his own right fank. Courtney's pass to Coffeld netted a 30-yard kick. The same were accounted for by the tos, the remaining 18 yards representing the distance the receiver advanced the ball. The ball, on the Bison 40-yard strip, was set to Coffeld attempted to circle the local right fank.
Courtney took 7 yards at the center of the Bison forward wall, but on the second successive thrust at this point, the State forward wall was blocked by a Courtney heave, meant for Jeter, on the Howard 8-yard mark and carried, the ball to his own 35-yard line before being forced out of bounds. State was penalized 5 yards for out of bounds. State was penalized 5 yards for out of bounds. State was penalized 5 yards for out of bounds. Sewell, receiving his field after placing the visiting left guard, got 15 yards. Johnson knobbed off 5 yards at center. Holloway gained a gain of 11 yards and then added another 3 yards to center before his team was penalized 5 yards for off-side play. Sutter took off 6 yards outside the Virginia 10-yard line. He was time the march, over his own right tackle. Johnson was stopped dead at center. The spectators were brought to their feet as the leather leaped high in the air and pulled down a knee. He hand and then ran 32 yards through and around the State secondary for the initial touchdown of the game. Sewell plunged into the extra point. Score: Howard, 7; State 2.
Sewell's kick-off was received by Lane on the 28-yard State line, who advanced 2 yards before being upset. A 15-yard penalty on Lane was not enough roughness. Courtney lost a yard at right end. Two passes, Borican and Courtney doing the tossing, were incomplete and netted the Bisons a 5-yard penalty. Courtney punted, the ball going outside on the Holoman. He punted a yard at right end, but Suttler got it and 5 more at the opposite flank. Suttler kicked to Courtney on the latter's 25-yard line. He ran the ball 13 yards before the Bisons could overhaul him. Holman tumbled, Critchlow recovering for the locals.
FOURTH QUARTER
Sewell opened the quarter with a 6-yard gain over left tackle. Hollloman muffed for a 6-yard loss. Myers capturing the ball on the pass to Solomon, was good for a 24. Hollloman at left tackle. Two State passes, the second of which was knocked down in a beautiful defense gesture by McArthur, the Bisons a 5-yard gain through penalty.
A wing-back and double reverse with Corican carrying the ball lost 12 yards and possession of the ball for the Staters. Broken field run over the visiting right tackle to place the ball on the Virginia 34-yard mark. A delayed back with the state man carrying the ball netted the Staters a 5 yards gain. Penalized 5 yards just before Sewell got 1 back on a plunge through his right guard. Suttler gained 2 yards at right guard, and then Sewell, again reversing his field in beautiful fashion, carried the ball 23 yards to the State 3-yard ribbon. Suttler lost 3 yards at the visiting midsection, but the Staters added a second addition on a skid through right guard. Ware then threw his body over the center of the line for the touchdown. Sewell added extra point over his right guard. Store: Howell.
Suttler kicked off. Corican received on his 20-yard line advanced to his 30-yard line and then, turning, passed laterally to the ball out of the air. Corican took the ball out of the air. A pass, Corican to Hensley, was incomplete, Courtney's heave to Hill was muffed by the ball and the originators were penalized 5 yards. Courtney and Suttler returned to Suttler on the Blue and White 28-yard stripe and returned to midfield. Sewell slid through his right tackle, received his field, and gained 22 yards before being hit by the ball. And Sewell took off another 7 at his favorite right tackle. Ware and Sewell collaborated in an 8-yard gain to the alien 12-yard line for the hit the line just inside the ball for the hit. The ball was stopped as he attempted to pierce the line for the extra point. Score: Howard, 20; State, 2. Sewell was penalized 5 yards for delaying the kick-off. Hill got 13 yards after receiving the kick-off on his 30-yard mark. Roughness caused Howard to be penalized 15 yards. A blocked pass behind the line Williams failed to recover by the Bison's buck as the game ended.

HAMPTON ELEVEN IN 6-6 DEADLOCK WITH BLUEFIELD
Final Gun Sounds on Thrilling Tie Match; Blues Show Strength
By Lawrence I. Brockenbury
ROANOKE, Va.—A crew of desperate Hampton Pirates, bent up on continuing their previously successful plundering ways, found the sailing a bit rough when they ran into the "Big Blue Devils" from the hills of West Virginia, and were forced to struggle madly for their own lives long before the timer's gun cracked finis to a strength-taxing 6-6 stalemate.
Playing on an extremely warm day before a crowd of fans who had traveled great distances to see what they knew would be a fierce encounter, the two elevens waged a thrilling battle throughout. From start to finish, even though Hampon drew first blood, it looked like anybody's game.
Before the contest was ten minutes old, "Powerhouse Ike" Richmond, dependable sea hawk, had made a six-pointer. But the Bluefield boys, determining also that victory should be theirs, came back in the third period to knot the count. From then on it was a vain struggle for both until Father Time, seeing that there would be no more scoring, decided to end it all before men would be injured by the rough but clean playing.
The lines of both teams played well. Although six of the seven members of Hampton's forward wall were crippled before the game, they fought valiantly in spite of their injuries. Parham and Captain Rivers stood out on the defense. Parham repeatedly broke through the hard-running interference to make tackles. For Bluefield the work of Johnson, who replaced the All-C.I.A.A. Carmichael at tackle, and Captain Meadows were the shining lights. Moss at tackle was also brilliant.

JACKET - ROAMER CLASH TO DRAW
By JOHN McGRUDER
The Washington Yellowjackets are being groomed for their scheduled invasion of Baggett's Stadium, Alexandria, Va., Sunday where they are booked to meet the Roamers, of that city, in what is expected to be one of the most crucial games of the current week-end. Play is expected to get under way at 2:30 o'clock.
It is to be recalled that the last meeting of these two teams was on Christmas Day, 1931, in Griffith Stadium, and the Yellow Jackets (then the Pleasant Plains A.C.) came out on the long end of the score. That game carried with it the title of Virginia. Since that time these aggregations have not met again. Also since that time the Jackets have again won the supremacy of the District teams and the Roamers are undisputed titalists of Virginia. All that brings us to the point that this will be another contest of champions, with two championships at stake—winner take all. Nuff sed.
The Jackets are working hard each afternoon until time to call out the "ghost ball" and all indications are that the Roamers will have their hands full trying to entertain their visitors, who plan to swarm to Alexandria in full force like that host of stinging insects whose names they bear.

ST. PAUL-A.& T. IN SCORELESS DRAW
GREENSBORO, N.C.—Although the Tigers of St. Paul School of Lawrenceville, Va., were outplayed in every department of the game this afternoon, with the possible exception of the punts, they managed to hold the Aggies to a scoreless tie.
Fans were disappointed that the Aggies, though twice in scoring territory, failed to push it over. However, their disappointment was more than repaid by the thrilling runs of Morrow, star Aggie back. The Tigers' passing offense failed to click and they tried to compensate by rushing the Aggie line, but failed on every occasion. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the game was the sustained drives of the Aggies, as on two occasions they made unchecked drives of 55 and 68 yards, respectively.

ALA. STATE STOPS YELLOW JACKETS
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—A stalwart band of brilliant backfield stars, led by the inimitable Ernest White, midgret Pennsylvania flyer, running behind a line that was well nigh impregnable, humbled a powerful and aggressive West Virginia State College eleven last night, 7-0, in one of the most spectacular battles ever staged in Cramton Bowl. Both teams proceeded rather cautiously, in the first quarter by indulging in a punting duel which gave the Yellow Jackets a decided edge in distance, but to no material advantage. The Hornets threatened the latter part of this period as they ran and plunged for four successive first downs that carried them to the Virginians' 12-yard line, but a pass into the end zone ended this scoring sally.
In the third quarter the Hornets surged through the Virginia forward wall and blocked an attempted punt, recovering on the Mountaineers' 34-yard line. A series of plays featuring Martin, Fields and Mills was crowned with success when Fields contributed a beautiful run of 7 yards, unmolested, to cross the goal line. White placed kicked goal.

CARDOZO GRIDMEN STOP ANNAPOLIS HIGH ELEVEN
Purple and White Outfit Plays Well in Trimming Wiley-Bates 13-0
Coach Jack Young's vastly,improved Cardozo High School gridmen played sterling football to turn back a stubborn Wiley-Bates High School eleven at the Walker Stadium, last Friday afternoon. The Annapolis lads, already losers in contests with the two other local high schools, played determinedly, but went down, 13-0. Indulging in a hard driving game which utilized deceptive tactics at crucial moments, the Clerks overpowered the visiting Maryland aggregation with little difficulty. Lucas, at the helm of the locals for the most part, showed his team up to advantage. The tow-headed youngster not only ran the ball well but displayed the absorption of thorough coaching in the selection of his plays.
Lamar and Hawkins stood out in the Capital City offense, while Adams proved to be the visiting luminary. Hawkins intercepted a Bates pass and followed with a beautiful 33-yard run to initiate a 60-yard march to the first touchdown.

Staunch Friends Who Turn Out to be Arch Enemies Lead Rival Teams into Skirmish at Baltimore; Jefferson Ahead by Single Victory
BALTIMORE, Md.—Other C.I.A.A. thrilling contests this season may be largely a battle of stars against stars, but the Morgan-Bluefield feud in Baltimore next Saturday will be one of the greatest coaching duels to be witnessed anywhere.
Modest Johnny Hurt, of Morgan, with two C.I.A.A. championships in three years dangling from his belt, and holder of the Afro-American medal engraved "Maker of Champions," and Big Jeff, who skyrocketed the Big Blues of Bluefield into national championship a few years ago, will be the actual stars in the pigskin drama of conflict that will take place on Morgan's campus.

Both of these coaches are generally recognized as being among the best in the country, each of them possessing an unusually acute football mind. Both are very good friends off the gridiron, but when their teams are clashing, they are mortal enemies. The hearty respect each has for the other can be seen in the movement

NEGROES DRAWN FOR JURY SERVICE IN N. CAROLINA
WILSON, N.C. (ANP)—Two Negroes were called for jury duty, Tuesday, when the regular fall term of the United States District Court was convened by Judge I. M. Meekins, of Elizabeth City. This marked the first time in more than thirty years that a colored man had been placed on a jury. One of the men was called for the grand jury and the other for the petit.

RALEIGH, N.C.—(ANP)—More than half of the 300 students at St. Augustine College here took their meals at local cafes Tuesday in protest against the quality of food served to them in the student dining room and the retention of a dietitian whose health, they said, endangered them in the preparation of meals. They requested that a dietitian with a degree in home economics be employed. President Egdar H. Goodl, white, said that the dietitian had been examined by the college physician who reported that she was not suffering from a contagious disease. He was hopeful that a conference arranged between student leaders and faculty members would result in an adjustment satisfactory to all.

Abbie Mitchell Given Enthusiastic Reception
By PEARLIE
The quaint wine-covered chapel nestling snugly on "Howard Hill" was recently the scene of an event long to be remembered. Washington has many lovers of music and song, and so, on last Tuesday evening long before the scheduled appearance of Abbie Mitchell, lyric soprano, in the first of a series of concerts sponsored by Howard University, the beautiful campus was studded with groups of smart hostesses, popular debutantes, well-known club and college men all wending their way toward the chapel.
The trustees of the university had met earlier in the day, and realizing that this was to be an important occasion some of the out-of-town members of the board of trustees remained over for the recital. (Couldn't see them all from where I sat, but did get a glimpse of Dr. Channing H. Tobias and Dr. Peter Murray, of New York, and Dr. Charles Garvin, of Cleveland. With Howard's president, Dr. Mordecai Johnson, cordingly greeting friends; with members of the Howard faculty, too numerous to mention and faces beaming with anticipation; with musicians like Prof. Roy Tibbs, Miss Lula V. Childs and Miss Camille Nickerson conveniently near (just to see that everything went right); with every available seat rapidly being taken you finally began to look at your watch.
Then the hour arrived. And before you, bowing gracefully, was Abbie Mitchell, a "Queen of Song." In a gorgeous gown of black velvet, form-fitting, V-neck in front, and soft red satin outlining the low-cut back and ending in a crushed bow; with an elegant train (red lined) that swirled about her red shoes, with red gloves (very long), a matching chiffon handkerchief to add a note of grace, and topping it all a shining tiara to hold her soft black hair. Abbie Mitchell was indeed a queen.
And then the song. From the first notes of "Die Jungle Nonne" (the young nun)—Schubert, the artist demonstrated her extraordinary ability to interpret the character of the songs. You wondered at her marvelous control; you were amazed at her finished style.
Prolonged applause greeted her rendition of Schubert's "Erlkoenig" (The Erlking), "Lied der Mignon" (Schubert) was well received, as was Chausson's "Apaisement." But the enthusiasm of the audience knew no bounds when she gave the impressively beautiful interpretation of "Aria-Ritorna, Vicinto" from "Aida" (Verdi).
A group of foreign songs with English words were very effectively rendered.
"Gue Gue Solingai," Creol lullaby arranged by Miss Camille Nickerson, of the Howard School of Music, was exceedingly well done and the applause which greeted that number grew more and more intense as the slim smiling "Camille" arose from her place in the audience in acknowledgement.

Prayer Offered for Euel Lee
Prayer Offered for Euel Lee
O God of Justice, mercy, love and truth: Grant to Euell Lee, whose physical life it has been decreed by the state of Maryland must be brought to its end on the gallows, Friday night, October 27, at 12 o'clock midnight. Grant to him rest from all sinful deeds and thoughts. To surrender himself wholly unto Thee and to keep himself still before Thee like a still lake in order that the beams of Thy grace may be mirrored therein and may kirdle in his heart the glow of faith, propelled by Grace that he may not be afraid to die. May he, through such stillness and hope, find strength and gladness in Thee now and forevermore, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
—By the Rev. C. T. Murray, pastor, Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Washington, D.C.
spiritual (Burleigh), concluded the program.
Again and again Miss Mitchell was recalled—so many encores you somehow lost the count. But among the most beautiful were Kramer's "Home in the Dusk," and Camille Nickerson's Creole Folk Song, "Danse Conni Conne!" (Dancing Song). Sharing in the glory of the occasion was William Allen, sympathetic accompanist at the grand piano.
Parents Scorn Fine, Stay in Jail in School Fight
BERWYN, Pa. — Four of the parents fighting against a jim-crow school in these townships were lodged in jail here on a charge of violating the truancy law by keeping their children out of the separate school provided "for Negroes."
The parents scorned the easy fine of $2.50 and stated they would gladly serve the fine out in jail. As there are more than 200 children on strike, the town may find it expensive to jail parents for truancy. The N.A.A.C.P., which is fighting the case, offered to pay the fines, but the parents said they preferred to serve the brief sentences.
This is the first time parents have been jailed in Berwyn although the strike against the jim-crow school has been in progress since it was opened in September, 1932.

Weather Man Only Gets Decision In Annual 'Kegee-'Force Game
Pre-game Downpour Literally Inundates Soldiers' Field Gridiron; 3,000 Brave Fury of Elements as Traditional Rivals Fail to Score
SOLDIER FIELD, CHICAGO (Special to The Washington Tribune)—No game was ever played under worse climatic conditions than those which prevailed at the annual meeting between the elevenes of Wilberforce University and Tuskegee Institute, staged here, last Saturday afternoon. Only the weather man emerged with a decisive victory as the two traditional rivals for the national title played to a scoreless deadlock.
The opening kick-off was made in a sea of mud resulting from a 14-hour downpour and the final gun sounded between the flash of lightning and the crash of thunder. About 3,000 spectators sat huddled under umbrellas giving the huge stadium the appearance of a field of toadstools.
Little can be said of the contest itself except that it was marred by frequent fumbles as players of both teams sought desperately to retain a grip on the slippery pigskin.
Only on one occasion was there a really serious threat on the part of either of the opposing teams. A Tuskegee punt, blocked in the waning minutes of the game and recovered on the 5-yard line naved the way for a prospective Wilberforce score. Four tries at the Alabama wall, however, were to no avail.
Twice the Southerners got inside of the Ohioans' 20-yard marker but a series of incomplete passes together with superb defensive play on the part of the Force linemen thwarted this opportunity.
A pass from Perey White, former Washington, D.C., high school star, to Williams, in the opening quarter carried the ball over the Tuskegee line, but this was anulled when an official decision declared the receiver's foot had touched the outside line.
Both teams attempted to score from the field.

Determined to make it three straight victories over the West Virginia Yellowjackets in as many years, Coach Tom Verdell and his squad of Howard University Bisons entrained this morning for Charleston. West Virginia, where the Institute team will be encountered Saturday. The Verdellmen defeated the Yellowjackets here last year, 6-0, after gaining a 13-0 decision in Charleston in 1931, the first meeting between the schools.
Accompanying the squad of 31 players were Assistant Coach Tom Hawkins, Trainer Harry Robinson, and George Butler and William McKinney, managers.
Players making the trip include Showboat Ware, Captain Tarzur Johnson, Tom Walker, Berry Williams, Jess Chandler, Washington Wright, Suttler, Stratton, Skelton, Joe Sewell, Patterson, Olesey, Murray, McGruder, McArthur, Lewis, Javett, Jackson, Howard, Honesty, Holman, Hunt, Gordon, Gather, Crightow, Cole, Carter, Bridges, Brett and Austin.
McDaniels, who started as quarterback in the Bison's two home games, was moved from making the trip by illness.
Livingstone College Co-eds Prepare for Basketball

Word has just reached this office that Doo Dorsey, that diminutive manager of the Georgetown Athletic District Champion baseball team, is going to be in the west-end line-up when the gridiron aspirants of that section tie up with the Lionnell A. C. eleven at Green Valley Park, Va., Sunday. I should be willing to offer "an orchid to him" if I thought an orchid would do any good. But in the game of broken-noses and bungledaps a lone flower contribution could hardly be appreciated. Instead a neat l'it bouquet in a vase on the table beside his bed would be far more appropriate. Seriously though, Dorsey deserves the praise of an admiring friend who sees him ever loyal to a cause that happens to be travelling a rough road at present.
POET TOUCHDOWN BEATS DOUGLASS HIGH ELEVEN
Six-pointer Enough to Stop Baltimoreans; Visiting Fumbles Costly
BALTIMORE, Md. — Outplaying their opponents in every department of the game, the Dunbar High School eleven took the measure of the Douglass High School gridiron aspirants, here last Friday afternoon, by a score of 6-0. The lone touchdown by which the visitors gained the verdict is not a fair indication of the superiority the Washington hds displayed over their ancient Monumental City rivals. Frequent fumbles, which occurred after they had carried the ball deep in the locals' territory, robbed Dunbar of several scoring opportunities. A margin of 10 first downs to 2 for the Ducks was enjoyed by Coach Charlie Pinderhughes's in-

Sam's Scripts
Mr. Martin Suttler, care H.U. Football Team. Dear Marty:
I wanted to give the old home-town a "break" in my write-up of last Saturday's game in which you covered yourself with so much of the good old glory, but for some reason or other Tom Rivera (registrar's office attendant) couldn't see fit to let me in on where you hailed from. I felt like telling him it didn't make no difference if you came from Waycross or Portland, if wouldn't take nothing from the way you played against State, but I guess that wouldn't done no good. You know, Marty, sometimes I'm tempted to call some of those guys up there the same things so many of your fellows name them when you're talking about how hungry you football players are. But anybody could see you and Joe and Showboat weren't running around on empty stomachs, Saturday.
---
Will somebody please tell Runt White, who wrote to this pillar last week, asking what the "Dales were doing during the off-season, that I heard them singing the old song about "The Old Gray Mare," after the game at Colesville, Sunday.
The high spot of sandlot football should be provided in the clash between the Alexandria Roamers and the Washington Yellow Jackets, slated for Baggett's Stadium, Alexandria, Va. Sunday.
These two outfits appear at this time to represent the class of talent in their respective cities. The Alexandrians have not lost a game to date, three wins being credited to them. The Yellow Jackets, starting late, have played only one game and were impressive in that. There's little chance for disappointment coming to any one of the horde of football fans who are expected to make the trip from this city to the scene of the fracas.
"We want So-and-So, we want So-and-So," chanted the Howard University football cheering section at last Saturday's game. A few minutes later "So-and-So" went into the game.
Still later in the game a man was seen to rise from the Blue and White bench and start warming up. "Aw, we don't want no parts of him," the students cried in unison. "Him" resumed his seat on the bench. How about that. Doc? Are you losing your stroke?
News note from Sacramento, California:
"The score was tied between the Brush Men and the Hill Men, baseball teams, at Folsom Prison, Sunday, when John Hunter, 30, Los Angeles check passer, came to bat Swinging lustily. Hunter broke up the tie, the ball came and the head of Chifford A. Brown, 29, Los Angeles automobile thief, when the bat slipped out of his hands.
"At the prison hospital it was said that Brown might die."
"Cigars and cigarettes, that's my line,
And I c'n also furnish a good shoe shine;
The address? It's T Street,
fourteen-o-nine.
You must, oh you must c'mup-me-me-some time."

MINNS, LOCAL BOY TO PILOT LINCOLN AGAINST HAMPTON
Former Dunbar Hi School Star Slated for Lion Quarterback Berth
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa.—Eugene Minns, Washington, D.C., lad, and a product of the Dunbar High School there, looms as the likely choice for the quartback post as Coach Julie Martin recamps his Lincoln Lion machine in preparation for the big test against the Hampton Institute Pirates, Saturday, at Norfolk, Va. The Capital City youngster, last week a scrub, will be given a much deserved opportunity following his steady and seintillating play of the build-up drills.
In a statement, early this week, Martin said, "He has shown himself as brainy a quarterback as Weir and as good a ball carrier. In the weekly scrimmage he can his team like a veteran. The coaches and players join with the rabble in agreeing that this lad has changed the morale of the squad. If he can get his team mates to click in the Hampton game as he does in practice Lincoln should have little trouble in defeating the Sea Siders." Other changes that will probably occur follow: Tootally, a promising wingman will be seen at left end instead of Mason. Guthrie will replace Smith at right tackle. A, a flash back who showed up well in the Cheyney game, can look forward to his call in the backfield when the team journues to Hampton. Hatcher, who performed well in he line will get a chance at left tackle.
Temmy Myles Outboxes Heavier Ring Foe
BALTIMORE, Md. — Tommy Myles cutouted and outfought his heaviest opponent, Eddie Thomas, in every round of the four-round final contest at the Richmond Market Auditorium, here Friday night.
Myles weighed in at 135, while Thomas tipped the scales at 140 pounds.
Thomas, a murderer fighter, was not able to land a good shot on the crafty Myles, who used a stiff jab and a hard left hook to head and body. He also used a crunching right which connected with Thomas's head frequently.

Watson-Coached Bordentown Team Wins Third Straight
BORDENTOWN, N.J.—The Bordentown School eleven kept its season's record clean this afternoon by downing Delaware State College of Dover, Del., 13-0 in a close and well-played game. The victory kept the Jars yiles in the running for the MSA title with a string of three victories) as they face Downingtown, Chippey and Storer for the crucial games in November. Both teams exhibited tight defenses, but neither showed a driving punch until late in the game, when the Ironiders of Bordentown opened up in a seven-yard march down to the Dover goal line. The New Jerseyans are coached by Louis L. Watson, former head coach of football at Howard University.
Morehouse Tigers Stop Paine College Eleven in Mud
ATLANTA, Ga.—On a rainsheated gridiron an improved Mosehouse Tiger ploughed to victory Saturday and left the Paine College eleven in the ruck. When Mosehouse's final touchdown was made, the score stood 18-0. The score in no way indicated the strength of the Maroon Tigers as they outrused, outpressed and outbackled the team from Augusta, and generally excelled in all-around play. Mosehouse made 19 first downs and held the Paine Collegians without a single first down. Mosehouse showed its versatility in victory by scoring on a long 35-yard pass from Kelley to Archer, a sweeping end reverse by Quartzback McCurtain, and a 15-yard plunge by Fullback Scott.

MYSTERIOUS MAJOR CROTON
Major Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, one of the two men of color who has telephone access to the President at any time, held a conference with Secretary of Commerce Roper at noon, Monday last. It is a mystery how Major Moton, Booker T. Washington's successor and o.1e of the key men of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, has come to be considered by white political leaders as the spokesman for the American Negro.
It is rumored that the Major was summoned to assit in selecting the personnel who are to assist Eugene Kinkele Jones, secretary of the Urban League, New York, who was last week appointed economist to head the Commerce Department's unit for the study of Negro problems. This post carries a salary of $7,500 a year. Dr. Bill Johnson, who was being groomed for the position by one of the local Democratic clubs, many thank Professor David Houston for depriving him of that privilege. Professor Houston, who, though listed as secretary, is really acting chairman of the recently formed Negro Advisory Board. The committee as formed is as follows:
Robert L. Vann, Pittsburgh, Pa., chairman; Harry H. Pace, Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company of Chicago, Ill., vice-chairman; G.

Mr. Houston is the other Negro who has telephone access to the President, being a classmate of his at Harvard. Jones was his candidate. Vann, who is a special assistant to the Attorney General, rapidly recuperating from an automobile accident suffered at Hagerstown, Md., recently, favored Dr. Mary F. Waring, of Chicago, for the position.

Don't ask Nell Rose Atwood that. But ask her what's in her initials (NRA), and she will tell you a job. Miss Atwood was given a furlough from the Department of Agriculture in Washington some weeks ago, but now, due to the increased activities of the NRA, the Government has called her back to work.

James (Interior Department) Williams, tells me that more than 4,000 employees over there are being deprived of sick and annual leave because Interior Department officials will not discharge as many employees as the Budget Bureau demands.
Adamant in their demands, Budget Bureau officials insist on further personnel slashes and as a big stick, refuse to reinstate any employee to permanent positions until the desired slashes are made. Three months have been given the Interior officials to capitulate.
Miss Mabel Byrd, colored woman economist, who has had a distinguished career on the staffs of three different universities, is a welcome addition to the NRA group. Miss Byrd, an extremely personable young woman, has been assigned to Dr. Sach's division of Research and Planning where she is to concern herself with research, which will enable her to make certain recommendations which will tend to gain for Negroes adequate purchasing power for Negro workers.
There is a more or less reliable rumor going the rounds that the P.W.A., better known as the Public Works Administration, is to create 1,200 new jobs in the very near future.
Jobs for attorneys, accountants and engineers are developing, it is understood, and a general staff expansion is expected in coming weeks. Speeding of the public works program is the reason for the prospective enlargement.
There are now about 800 employees in the Washington office, of which 200 were taken on within the last two weeks. Clerical and stenographic help will be added as other employees are taken on.
But while attorneys are in demand at the Public Works Administration, 13 lawyers and seven stenographers transferred from the office of the general counsel of the Internal Revenue Bureau to the Department of Justice are wondering how many of them will have jobs a month hence.
The transfer was made in connection with departmental reorganization, and the employees effected now have temporary status. At the end of thirty days, those who are to be retained will receive permanent appointments.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Dr. Albert Johnson and the Rev. T. N. Austin, who recently went to the superintendent of schools to protest the crowded conditions of the lower grades and the unusual school hours, suggested the rental of the building opposite the Parker-Gray School building, to relieve the part-time schools. Superintendent T. C. Williams presented their protests to the school board and recommended as a temporary expedient to relieve the congested condition at the Parker-Gray School, the rental of two nearby houses, which would have to be conditioned. The board, however, decided to wait until it prepares its 1934 budget which will be done shortly, before taking final action on this proposition. The rental price of the building was given as $25 a month.
Hedging has been planted along the entrance and the walks of the Parker-Gray School building, by the Parent-Teacher Association. The committee is planning to finish the sides and put grass seed in front of the building. The work was done by Lewis Strother, at a very low price.

HEAD OF ELKS TO CONTINUE FIGHT
(Continued from page 2) to the receivers a plan of rehabilitation which had been approved by some of the world's greatest minds in this field. This plan had as its foundation the chartering of a mutual life insurance company by the policyholders of the company and the establishment of a formula by the court to be used in the transfer of the assets of the old company to the incorporated mutual life insurance company.
"At the first it appeared that the representatives of the court were in accord with this program. So at great expense and labor counsel for Mr. Wilson drafted a proposed charter for a mutual life insurance company and presented it to counsel for the receivers for their study.
"At this time the receivers so far as the facts can be established did not have in mind a similar plan and seemed to be co-operating with Mr. Wilson in working out a plan for the establishment of a new mutual company. But while Judge Hueston, of Mr. Wilson's counsel, was waiting in the office of one of the receivers' attorneys, said attorney went into court and filed a petition on behalf of the receivers to do the very thing which it had been considered as the thing for Mr. Wilson and his associates to do. From that time on the receivers have been hostile to the efforts of Mr. Wilson.
Receivers Notify Agents
"The receivers announced a program of their own; they were going to organize a mutual life insurance company and use the assets of the company thereafter. In support of their effort they sent out a notice to all of the agents for bidding any and all of them from helping in any way the efforts of those who had a plan of reorganization save themselves.
"Though often requested to do so, they failed absolutely to furnish information essentially necessary to form and make plans for a new company.
"They retarded the collection of powers of attorney necessary to
CLASSIFIED
the Wilson plan, and then while opposing the putting of the Wilson plan into execution they abandoned their plan for organizing a new mutual life insurance company and petitioned and had granted an order to liquidate the assets of the company. "From this order Mr. Wilson appealed, and said appeal was denied. Mr. Wilson then filed a petition to remove the receivers from office, which petition is pending.
"It is the contention of Mr. Wilson and his associates that the receivers have very greatly dissipated the assets and proceeds of the company; that without any good reason whatsoever the receivers have abandoned $8,000,000 worth of live profit-making insurance which was in force on the day of the order of the court; thrown several scores of men-and women out of employment; that the receivers themselves practically forced the policyholders to modify their policies and then abandoned those who did modify without notice. It is the plan of the grand exalted ruler, Judge W. C. Hueston and their associates to fight on.
To Fight On
"They are going forward with the organization of a new mutual life insurance company to the use and benefit of the policyholders and others who may become associated with them.
"They intend to press on through the liquidation process and to use any of the proceeds which may be left, if any, after said liquidation, and to that end are organizing policyholders' committees throughout the country, and now since the receivers have abandoned all of the policyholders and former employees of the company, they are asking that all of the policyholders and employees who have not communicated with Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson do so at once at 1813 Verdon Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C."

BISHOP HEARD IS LOSER IN FIGHT
NEW YORK.—Confirming a far-reaching precedent of the A.M.E. Bishops' Council at Wilberforce, Ohio, the New York Supreme Court last week decided in favoring of the Council's over-ruling Bishop William H. Heard of the New York Conference in his appointment of Rev. Caine P. Cole as the new pastor of Bethel A.M.E. Church, 54 West 132 Street, last May 28. The Council reinstated Rev. Edward A. Clarke to his position at Bethel Church, where he had been pastor for four years, after Bishop Heard transferred him to Boston. Rev. Cole instituted court action against the First African Methodist Episcopal Bethel Church when it refused to accept him as pastor and the Council reinstated Rev. Clarke. He contended that the Bishops' Council was in error in setting the historical precedent of denying him the appointment.
Dunbar High School
Stressing the need of understanding clearly one's purpose in going to college, in a recent speech before upper classmen of Dunbar High School, Belford B. Lawson attorney-at-law, urged the students to choose a college career for the sake of knowledge and for service in a rapidly changing world. The assembly was held under the auspices of the Dunbar College Bureau, of which Mrs. Adelaide C Daly is chairman. Through this agency two speakers are brought each year before the students in order to encourage and direct them in intelligent preparation for college.

hour to make way for Messrs. Berle and Richman.
