D. C. Teacher Charges Husband, Mail-Carrier, With Misconduct DEATH CHEATS CHAIR AT D.C. JAIL Secretary Wallace to Probe Color Bar in Civil Service Roosevelt's Phone Call Cheats Electric Chair Of Condemned Slayer A Hometown Paper of, by, and for Washingtonians Vol. XIII, No. 27 DEAT Secreta Roosevelt's P Cheats Elect Of Condemn Charles Washington Gets Stay as Companion Dies for Murder BELATED CONFESSION BRINGS 2 REPRIEVES D. Youth Took All the Responsibility for Shooting Twelve times has William E. Washington, convicted of murder, resigned himself to suffer the clutching, shocking arms of the electric chair in the District Jail, and twelve times fate has dealt him another card of chance. His last two stays were granted him by President Roosevelt and literally snatched him from the chair's gagting seat. The first was granted, Friday, four minutes before he was to die, by a telephone call from the President. The second was granted, Monday, two hours and 20 minutes before 2 p.m., the time of the expiration of Friday's reprieve. William C. Robinson, one of the trio convicted for the slaying of a taxi driver, paid the supreme penalty, Friday. Before his death he exonerated Washington of blame for the fatal shot. The reprieves were granted Washington because of the confession and to give time to the Department of Justice to investigate evidence on which a plea for executive clemency is based. The third man in the case, Leonard Layton, received a commutation to life sentence by the President, October 10, and is now serving in Lorton Reformatory. Carries Bible to Chair Robinson trod down the long corridor from his cell to the death chamber, Friday, carrying a Bible in his hand and chanting a song along with the Rev. James L. Pinn, spiritual adviser. Just as he was about to seat himself, a message called Superintendent Thomas M. Rives, to the telephone. Believing it might be a reprieve for both men, the superintendent held up the execution until he received the call. Mr. Rives listened as Robinson stood nervously before the chair. The message was from the President, stating that he had received certain information regarding Washington's case and or (Continued on page 2) INDUSTRIAL BANK PLAN SUBMITTED Definite Date for Reopening Expected to Be Announced A plan for the reopening of the Industrial Savings Bank has been submitted to the Comptroller of Currency, according to a statement of W.

Dear Friends, I do know that my soul is save, because I have tried every in joyment in life but one, and that one was to leave the devil aside and take God as my personal friend. In him I found peace, love and happiness, and as far as my guilt in this trouble, I am innocent, I were not at the cab when the gun was fired and I did not have a gun in my presents when the murder was committed altho Roberson and Layton said in these confessions that I was at the cab with a gun drawn on the driver witch is untrue. But not there confessions are all to gether different, but it is too late to help me any on this side of Jordan. Dear ones hear is the truth when the cab stopet, Roberson asked the cab driver how much was the fair, and the man replied 50c. I got out on the right side. Roberson and Layton got out on the left side. Layton and my self walks over across the street and stands by a lamp post, and Roberson was left at the cab, to pay the fair. All at once a noise was heard, like the back fireing of an auto, and Roberson ran towards Layton and my self and said I believe I have shot the taxy driver. We all three ran up an ally and through Hunt tunes court, where Layton threw away a gun that he had in his boosom. Now if God was to ask me for the truth when I see witch I think he will, these are the works wich I will tell him as I have told you al above. Of course I told them at my trial the same thing, but it were useless,—but no matter how thing are if God is for me who can be againse me.

Mrs. Daisy Polk, of 1006 S Street, a teacher of the Toner Health School, petitioned the court last month for an absolute divorce from her husband, Robert K. Polk, 940 T Street, Northwest, a mail carrier working out of the main post office.

Johnson, and several of the state police, and members of the American Legion were identified by Spencer as members of the mob.

CRAWFORD DENIED LAWYERS' ADVICE NEARLY 2 DAYS Virginia Official Withdraws Permission; Two Judges Arguments on the motion of Charles H. Houston, chief of defense counsel, to quash the murder indictment against George Crawford because there were no Negroes on the grand jury which indicted him, will be heard in the Loudon County Circuit Court, at Leesburg, Monday.

Well, this is what happened in the Federal Employees Typewriting contest held on Thursday at Strayer's Business College, sponsored by a local daily and a typewriter company. Cortez W. Peters, of national repute as a typist and expert demonstrator, having won the world's amateur championship and a record of 120 net words per minute for one hour from unfamiliar copy, is a government employee and therefore an entrant. When Mr. Peters arrived at the contest and warmed up at a terrific rate of speed, the contest was temporarily held up and questions concerning the status of Mr. Peters precipitated. The management unhesitatingly conceded Mr. Peters the contest, asserted that they believed him to have it at his mercy, and contended that the other contestants did not feel that they were in competition for the first prize, which was to be a new $102.50 typewriter. Mr. Peters offered the happy solution that if he be awarded the first prize or another prize of equal value, for the sake of the other contestants, all white except Mrs. Mary J.

Mitchell, chairman of the civil service commission. Wednesday morning. A delegation headed by A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; the Rev. W. H. Jennagin president of the National Legislature Committee, and newspapermen, conferred with Mr. Mitchell in connection with a number of complaints charging that minor officials in the civil service bureaus had refused to employ colored women after they had been certified and told to report for work. Charges Buck Passing Mr. Mitchell told the delegation that bureau heads have the privilege of selecting applicants from a certified list, but they were not to discriminate as to color or race. He also stated that the Secretary of Agriculture would be advised of the situation if complaints continued to be registered. Miss Carrie R. Earley, 927 R Street, Northwest, who accompanied the delegation, related to Mr. Mitchell how she was banded from office to office after being sent to fill a position as card tabulator and was finally told that there were no vacancies.

LAUT Natural death beat administered death by four months as James Lowry, convicted wives slayer, died in the District Jail Infirmary, Wednesday. Lowry was sentenced to the electric chair, the execution slated to take place in March, 1934. Ten comrades in the death cell two floors below the infirmary, chanted hymns and spirituals as news was brought to them that Lowry lay dangerously near the end of life. A devotion, stranger than any developed in the outside world, led them to sing and pray for the victory of natural death in its race against the punishment as meted out by society's justice. Now where on earth is the relationship between practical strangers knitted so closely in such a short space of time as in the "doomed rows" of capital punishment. They loved Lowry. He was a regular guy. Sure he killed somebody, but that was all a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes. And most everybody else, but us, squawks about them. ("Squawkers" or "cry-babies" are tabooed by the other inmates.) Lowry shot and killed his wife, Anna Lee Nelson, in their Northeast residence in May of 1932. He was captured by local police two weeks after the shooting. He admitted that jealousy had driven him to commission of the act. The Reverend James L. Pinn, official spiritual adviser of doomed men at the District Jaril, whose favor Lowry had won also, arranged with W. Ernest Jarvis of the Jarvis undertaking firm. to take care of the burial of Lowry. Had such an arrangement not been made, the body would have been burned in the District Crematory.

Dentist Says Wife Beat and Drove Him from Home DR VERNON GREEN SEEKS SEPARATION FROM 'CRUEL WIFE' Dentist Accuses Mate With Violence and Driving Him from Home Echoes of a turbulent evening in September when he claims he was driven from his home and a brief but stormy matrimonial span resounded, Tuesday, when Dr. Vernon S. Green, prominent dentist, of 1628 Corcoran Street, Northwest, charged his wife, Mrs. Eva Fitzhugh Green, of 1816 S Street, Northwest, with habitual cruelty and asked the District Supreme Court to grant him a divorce. Because of Mrs. Green's alleged threats, Dr. Green also requested the court to have his wife immediately show cause why she should not be restrained from tormenting him either at his home or office. In his petition which was filed through the law firm of Howard and Hayes, Dr. Green asserts that his unhappy married life continued from shortly after their marriage in Rockville, Md., September 8, 1931, until their separation on September 27, 1933. On the latter date, Dr. Green asserts that his wife's habitual and inhuman treatment was climaxed by violence. He states that she struck him upon the head with some object, then forcibly drove him from the S Street residence, which up to that time had been their abode. Says Bliss Ended Soon In narrating his marital difficulties, the dentist sets forth that he was induced by Mrs. Green shortly after their marriage to move his office into her home. Domestic tranquility was of short duration, he continues, because Mrs. Green soon cultivated a violent and disagreeable temper. The dentist relates further that in a very short while he was unable to earn a living because Mrs. Green harassed and interfered with his patients. He also charges that she would not let him make the necessary plumbing improvements in the house so that he might equin his office for the best professional services. Divided His Duties The petition also states that Mrs. Green operates a boarding and rooming house in her residence and that when Dr. Green had spare time from his practice he assisted in this or in caring for their 22-month-old son, Vernon, Jr. Dr. Green, who is now living at his family residence, claims that since he was driven out by his wife, she has come to his office (in the Lewis building), harassed his patients and threatened him. He avers that she has also gone to the home of his parents and threatened both his father and himself. The dentist stated that he feared unless Mrs. Green was restriained, she would again come to his home and office and further demoralize and disturb the peace of his parents and patients. The dentist did not request the court to give him the custody of the child. Report of Break A report of the separation of the Greens, taken from the files of the Tribune says in part: "According to rumor the transfer of Dr. Green's practice from the S Street home, followed a disturbance which occurred there recently and to which police of the Third Precinct were summoned by alarmed neighbors. Separation from his wife and minor child allegedly took place at that time. "Although Dr. Green was treated for a minor injury by Dr. J. E. Trigg, a physician, the latter would make no comment when asked about the nature of his professional relationship to the dentist. It is also said that Dr. Green consulted Attorney Perry W. Howard shortly after leaving the S Street residence, but the lawyer also refused to make a statement to reporters. "Mrs. Green, wife of the dentist, is the 'tea room girl' of the news limelight of February of 1930. At that time she was victorious in a damage suit against a prominent local physician. It was brought out in the suit by Dr. Benjamin Karpman, a psychiatrist, that the then Miss Fitzhugh, a victim of hysterical insanity." HALLIBURTON AT TUSKEGEE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.

CRAWFORD DENIED LAWYERS' ADVICE (Continued from page 1) the South about the time of Crawford's arrival in Alexandria, Charles H. Houston, chief of the N.A.A.C.P. defense counsel and a member of the Virginia bar, secured the consent of Mr. Galleher for any of his three associates, not members of the Virginia bar, to confer with Crawford when he was brought from Boston. Mr. Houston's three aides in the case, who are members of the District bar, are: E. P. Lovett, Leon A. Ransom, and J. G. Tyson. Wrote Out Order Mr. Galleher had previously conversed with all of the defense counsel and was fully advised as to their participation in the defense. Following a conference with them, he wrote an order to the Alexandra jailer instructing him to admit any of these lawyers to talk with Crawford. The order was written on the bottom of the power of attorney, given by Crawford, authorizing Mr. Houston to act. It named each of the associates to be admitted. With a feeling that there was no possibility of any misunderstanding, Mr. Houston left on legal business in Alabama, last week. Learning that Crawford was due in Alexandria, Messrs. Ransom and Tyson called Alexandria officials, Saturday morning, to inquire whether or not their client had arrived, and if so, when they could talk with him. Informed at first that no one could talk with Crawford, the attorneys cited their status, also that they had Mr. Galleher's permission. Messrs. Ransom and Tyson were then informed they could talk with their client whenever they wished and told to "come on over." Permission Withdrawn On reaching Alexandria within two hours time, the two associate counsels were told by the jailer that they could not see Crawford, as Mr. Gallher had retracted his consent for any one except Mr. Houston to talk with him. Gallher is reported to have stated to the jailer that he had thought the matter over and was sorry for having given permission for the associations to see Crawford. Then began frantic efforts to reach the Commonwealth attorney by wire or by telephone. They also spent the remainder of the day motoring around in Virginia in search of Mr. Galleher. He could not be located at his home or at places where he might have been engaged in official business. The two associates wired Mr. Houston in Alabama of the trend of affairs. He also made attempts to reach Mr. Galleher by wire. The efforts of the trio were extended throughout Saturday and most of Sunday. Judges Intercede On Sunday night, Messrs. Tyson and Ransom communicated with Judge Alexander regarding the dilemma in which they found themselves. He promised action the first thing Monday morning. Following up his promise, Judge Alexander conferred with Judge Woolls, of the Alexandria Corporation Court, and the two attorneys were permitted to confer with Crawford on Monday. Two hours after they had talked with him, a message came from Gallhear instructing the jailer that he had withdrawn his opposition to associate counsel interviewing the prisoner. Alexandria's officials were highly commended by Mr. Ransom in a statement to The Tribune for their assistance in the difficulty and for apparently having done everything possible to guarantee Crawford's safety. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1933 A.T.H.S. PRINCIPAL SCORES LOCAL DAILY PAPER G. D. Houston Criticizes Connection of Tech with Walker Stadium Affair A letter from G. David Houston, principal of the Armstrong Technical High School, to the city editor of the Washington Herald daily newspaper, early this week, protested the publication of an article in that paper which stated that Armstrong students had precipitated the trouble that terminated the Dunbar-Howard High School football game at the Walker Stadium last Friday. The letter, self-explaining, follows: "City Editor, The Washington Herald, Washington, D.C. "Dear Sir: "In your article, on Saturday morning, on the outbreak at the Dunbar High-Wilmington High football game, you attributed the cause to Armstrong students. This is a vicious misrepresentation of the facts, and I trust that you will be good enough to retract your statement. "Throughout the game, at which I was present, there was complaint on the part of the visiting team and many spectators, against the penalties meted out by the officials. In the first half, the Wilmington team was penalized not fewer than seven times, for 15 yards each time. One penalty placed the ball on the one-yard line, immediately after which the Dunbar touchdown, the only one of the game, was made. On two or three occasions, the Wilmington team threatened to withdraw from the field, but waited until within two minutes of the end of the game to complain of a forward pass, whereupon the team withdrew from the field. Jeers immediately ensued. As the team was leaving the field the jeering became more intense, and it is true that in the free-for-all fight that ensued, one Armstrong boy was beaten severely. This was the only Armstrong connection with the trouble. "There was no Herald reporter present at the game, so that the source of your information could not be direct. Moreover, your reporter, even if present, would have no way of identifying Armstrong students. It is most unfortunate, therefore, that you should print such a statement in your paper. "Since the Walker Memorial Stadium has been in use, two outbreaks have been recorded, but Armstrong has not been the playing team in either instance. In neither of the two serious outbreaks on foreign fields, has Armstrong figured. In other words, in a total of four outbreaks, the Armstrong team has not been on the field. We are, therefore, a little perturbed over your report that Armstrong students started the trouble on Friday afternoon. A newspaper serves the public best when it becomes industrious in seeking the truth before reporting a malicious misrepresentation. Very truly yours. G. DAVID HOUSTON, Principal." Harold Fields and Harold Loring Speak at Va. State PETERSBURG, Virginia—During the past week, students of Virginia State College heard two interesting and informing lectures, dealing with two entirely different phases of American life—the foreign-born American and the American Indian—both delivered by eminent authorities in their respective fields. The first of these lectures was delivered last Saturday night by Harold Fields, chairman of the Conference on Immigration, Policy, member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Fellow of the Royal Economic Society, and noted author and authority on the general subject of immigration. Speaking on the subject, "The Alien Problem Today." Mr. Fields told his audience of the struggle which the immigrant has in making the transition from European customs, thoughts and habits to the American way of living. No less interesting and informing was the lecture on the American Indian, delivered last Wednesday by Harold Loring, who has spent eighteen years among the Indians. Speaking on the subject "Indian Music and Indian Life," Mr. Loring gave to the student body a glimpse of the "Vanishing American" as few know him today. He illustrated the songs of the Indian, told of the part each song plays in his every day life, explained his customs, superstitions and religion and demonstrated his sign language.

Tignor, then head teacher at Dowingtown, now an instructor in the Francis Junior High School in Washington D. C. It was a one-page mimeographed sheet. One year later, in May, 1926 it blossomed into a small two page printed edition. It did not attain its present size until June 1928. Its faculty editors are Mrs. Virginia I. Waring and Miss Beatrice W. Whitfield. TELEPHONE CALL CHEATS CHAIR (Continued from page 1) dering a stay until 2 p.m., Monday, so that the case might be reviewed. No action was taken in Robinson's case and his electrocution was ordered to continue by Mr. Rives. The head and leg electrodes were quickly fitted in the shaved place in the back of his head and through the slit in the pants leg and then strapped. After a secondary inspection, the drone of the dynamos sending 2,200 volts into the youth's body began at 10:06 a.m. At 10:14, he was pronounced dead by Drs. A. M. MacDonald, acting coroner, and Dr. Walter K. Angvine, jail physician. Washington was unaware of his temporary good fortune until after the hum of the electric motors ceased circulating their death-dealing energy. When informed of the reprieve at the moment he was preparing to tread the "last mile," Washington was overcome with emotion. He fell on his knees in an attitude of prayer and cried: "God bless the President. God knows I'm innocent. God is above the devil and I am saved. My mother always told me to tell the truth no matter what happened and things would be better. I told them the truth in court, and they wouldn't believe me, but I didn't kill him. I am innocent." Washington prepared a written statement the night before his anticipated death, proclaiming his innocence, and presented it to the Rev. Mr. Pinn. It is printed in another column. Confesses Before Death The principal factor, it is understood, in bringing about the reprieve for Washington, is the reputed last-minute confession of Robinson to the Rev. Mr. Pinn. He is reported to have said: "I shot Solomon, the slain hacker, but God knows I didn't mean to kill him." In his confession Robinson is also stated to have denied that either Layton or Washington was with him in the cab at the time the hacker was shot. The Rev. Mr. Pinn told jail officials that Robinson wanted Washington saved because he "hated to take an innocent man to the chair with him." Robinson testified previously that Washington was in the cab when the fatal shot was fired. Mother Near Prostrate The Rev, Mr. Pinn broke the news of the first reprieve to Mrs. Mattie Washington, mother of the condemned man, who was in a virtual state of collapse on Friday morning, and believed that the minister was bringing her news of death. The mother, members of the family, and friends joined in emotional rejoicing and thanksgiving. The original reprieve was granted by the President shortly after he talked with the solicitor general of the United States. The latter had gone through a petition addressed to the President by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Society and a letter from Senator McCarran, of Nevada, asking for a reprieve so that new evidence in Washington's case might be presented, which the President sent to the Department of Justice for report. The solicitor general called the President by telephone a few minutes before the time set for Washington's execution and recommended the reprieve. Death Sentence Mandatory Washington, Robinson, and Layton were convicted in the District Supreme Court, November 19, 1931, fifteen months after the slaying, the verdict making the death sentence mandatory. It was testified that the three men made an unsuccessful attempt to hold up a grocery and then hired Solomon. They rode around town for a short while, finally directing him to drive to the water front. There, it was testified, an attempt was made to rob Solomon. Robinson admitted firing the shot, but claimed he drew the weapon only to scare Solomon. The hacker started his cab with a jerk and the gun went off. Robinson asserted. Layton's sentence was commuted by the President because evidence revealed that he was walking away from the cab at the time of the shooting. The fact that his two great-aunts served as laudresses at the White House during the Lincoln and Grant administrations had nothing to do with the commutation, it has been emphasized by Department of Justice operatives. Pan-Hellenic Council Organized at Va. Union RICHMOND, Va.—The representatives of the eight Greek-Letter fraternities and sororities met Monday, October 23, at the home of Miss Mary Mayo and formally organized a Pan-Helenic Council at Virginia Union University. At this meeting the constitution was adopted and the officers for the year were elected. Mr. James Overton, who initiated the interfraternal movement, was elected president. Associated with him are Miss Eunice Joyner, vice-president; Miss Eva Frazier, recording secretary Miss Mary Mayo, corresponding secretary; Mr. James Grant, treasurer. Dr. Robert P. Daniel is the advisor for the council. Alphas Prepare for St. Louis Meeting CHICAGO—Delegates of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity will meet in their 26th annual and 2nd biennial convention in this city, as the guests of Epsilon Lamda graduate chapter, December 28-31. The convention committee of 50 members is fed by Arnett Lindsay. The general convention program will aim at co-ordinating and promoting the work undertaken since 1931 in various regional gatherings in respect to the Go-To-HighSchool and Go-To-College movements initiated by Alpha Phi Alpha. Local Greek letter fraternities and sororites are preparing an elaborate program of entertainment. Whites Lynch Negro for Attack on Colored Girl LUMPKIN, Ga.—(ANP)—Something new under the sun occurred here Monday when a mol of white men seized Seth Davis, 45, from the Richland city jail and lynched him. Davis had been arrested for an alleged attack on a 10-year-old colored girl. The arresting officer was N. C. Bruce who claimed that Davis beat him over the head while he was making the arrest. Theories as to the lynching include the belief that the mob's action was inspired more by the attack on the white policeman than the alleged attack on the girl. Davis was taken from the jail, whipped and shot four times. SKATER BREAKS ARM While skating on New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, Laurence Forrester, 13, of 1008 First Street, Northwest, fell and broke a bone of the right arm, last week. INJURED BY TRAM Mrs. Bertha Ward, 49, of 46 Florida Avenue, received a slightly bruised scalp, last week, when the street car in which she was attempting to board moved off suddenly.

Of course my body is no good to me which all Christians know, for they that are after the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh. But they that are after the Spirit do mind the things of the Spirit and the spirit I know, no man on earth can take from me, but God, because the Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want, he makeet me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters, he restoreth my soul, he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his names sake, vea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil for thou are with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me, thou preapest a table before me, in the presence of mine enemies, thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of my Lord for ever. Now what more courage do a man want than that? Of course I know som of the people that knows me are saying right now, he sure was a devil when he was out hear in the open world, but my answer is, we all are devils until we have found God, and have taken him on our side and then we can face the world with a smile, and above all things, please don't feel in your hearts that my Mother did not raise me right, because she did all and every thing a Mother could do for her son.

MISCONDUCT CHARGE DENIED (Continued from page 1) tered under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brown. Mrs. Polk further alleged that the couple again misconducted themselves at the same place, under the same name in 1933, on August 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Denials of any acts of misconduct were made in both the answer of Mr. Jones and that of Polk. filed Tuesday morning. Claims No Impropriety The letter carrier admitted that he knew Mrs. Jones and had seen her occasionally, but claimed there was nothing improper in his acquaintance. In answer to his wife's charge that he deserted her on February 1, 1933, Polk set forth that he was compelled to leave his wife because of her cruel treatment of him. Polk asserted that he was wholly ignored in matrimonial affairs, and insisted that in spite of his wife's coldness and indifference he endeavored to conduct himself as affectionately and considerately as possible. He avers further that Mrs. Polk requested him to leave the premises at 1006 S Street, carried in the name of Mrs. Polk, but which the husband claims he has invested $3,000. Wants Wife to Pay The mailman continued that his wife had no love or affection for him and for reasons best known to herself was anxious that he leave their former abode. Both Mrs. Jones and Polk asked a dismissal of Mrs. Polk's petition and that she be required to pay the costs of the litigation. The Polks were married in Baltimore, March 24, 1921. Mrs. Polk earns $1,747.40 per year as teacher, while her husband earns $1,785 per year as letter carrier.

ATTACK JURY SYSTEM IN VIRGINIA (Continued from page 1) sentatives against the judge, Subsequently, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Judge Lowell's ruling, and an appeal by Crawford's counsel, Chas. H Houston, to the Supreme Court was met with an upholding of the reversal of the lower court. Jury System Attacked One of the first steps in the new fight will be the hearing of a motion to quash the murder indictment against Crawford, filed by Mr. Houston at Leesburg, Thursday, on the ground that colored persons were unlawfully excluded from the grand jury of Loudon County which indicted him, "because of race and color." The motion to quash was filed in the court of Judge J. R. N. Alexander, of the Twenty-sixth Circuit Court, and it had been expected that he would preside at the trial. However, after he wrote Governor Pollard that he should not be called upon to pass upon the validity of his action in drawing up the grand jury list prior to Crawford's indictment, which is attacked in the motion, Judge James L. McLemore, of Suffolk, presiding over the Second Virginia Judicial Circuit, was appointed to hear the motion. John Galleher, of Leesburg, commonwealth attorney, will serve as prosecutor. Arraignment of Crawford on the murder charge will follow promptly if the court rules against the motion. The trial in the Loudon County Circuit Court may be delayed beyond its present term, however, if preliminaries cannot be disposed of promptly.

Through Chicago, Philadelphia and finally to my mother and dad in Smithfield, Va., went my request—and I talked with them, heard their voices. Afterwards, reflecting on the call, one of the most marvelous things to me was this—that out of 120,000,000 people in this country (like a big crowd) you reached out and tapped just two on the shoulder for me, and then granted me the means of talking to them.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1933 "Mercy" or "Mercenary" Several weeks ago there appeared in the press an account of an attempted assault or rape upon Miss Ollie Rice, 1700 block U Street, Northwest, and the following news article stating that she had agreed upon a cash settlement in lieu of the prosecution of the case through the proper diplomatic channels, or the local courts. Our information is that the young woman, assaulted and humiliated, was represented by the N.A.A.C.P., through its local officials, A. S. Pinkett, secretary, and Howard and Hayes, attorneys, when she agreed to accept CASH and drop the charges through the diplomatic course she had pursued with Spain, the country which the accused attacker is said to be a subject. If this be true, and we have every reason to believe it is, the Tribune regrets that this action so taken was that which compromises womanhood and the principles for which we and all self-respecting people stand. How can money pay for honor? How can money compensate for justice? How can money restore the character of a woman?

As reprehensible as it is, we feel that this action taken will "turn about" and the course that this young woman started will be pursued until the honor of womanhood is maintained. NRA vs. Henry Ford The controversy between Henry Ford and the NRA, while apparently one of government and the largest industrial enterprise in America, is also one which should interest our group particularly. We dare not venture an opinion as to the legal aspect of the controversy, nor as to the merits of Ford's contentions, but we can say, and should say, that we are with Ford. Henry Ford (or the Ford organization) was the FIRST in America, and to our knowledge the LAST, to open its shops to men, of all racial groups and extraction, in equal pay for equal work. Black men, yellow men, brown men and white men, work side by side at the same work and AT THE SAME PAY. No other big industrialist has had the courage to open his shops and his plants to men of darker skin as has Ford, nor has our government been so altruistically considerate. Ford's fight, as we understand it, is to keep his shops "open"—not giveh over to the control and mandate of the union—the so-called collective bargaining clause of the code submitted to him. Tho we hope for national recovery, in his stand for an open shop we are with Ford; for if his plants become closed shops (union labor) our men in the thousands will be refused work, and our group will eventually be eliminated from the sharing in this program of recovery so far as the automobile industry is concerned.

It would be well if some of our so-called philanthropic friends, who give libraries, Y.M.C.A.'s, churches, schools and the like would emulate the example of Henry Ford and give our men, not charity but an opportunity to work and earn on equality with the man next door without regard to color. Consider the Children Two men, waiting to pay the supreme penalty for the destruction of life, asked that permission be granted them to marry. One of them is the father of two children by a common-law wife. The right to wed is denied in a decision handed down by the District Commissioners. That the city has nothing to profit by the performance of such a ceremony and that the only gain would be much unfavorable publicity are the two salient points in the refusal of the powers that be. We hesitate to charge that they are guilty of negligence of thought and yet we wonder if, on this occasion, the Commissioners did not err. The law, it is known, provides that a doomed man is no longer a citizen of the country, and not being, he has no That the city has nothing to profit by the performance of such a ceremony and that the only gain would be much unfavorable publicity are the two salient points in the refusal of the powers that be. We hesitate to charge that they are guilty of negligence of thought and yet we wonder if, on this occasion, the Commissioners did not err. The law, it is known, provides that a doomed man is no longer a citizen of the country, and not being, he has no rights or privileges as such. Matrimony is unquestionably a privilege. The man, then, becomes the object of mere legal machinery—exponent of society. But what about those children? All the social laws under the sun cannot change the moral aspect of the case. They, too, have rights and privileges. Primarily, the bequest to every individual should be the name of a father—socially, morally, legally. We do not hesitate to opine that if these same Commissioners were required to choose for themselves a life as the off-spring of a murderer or as the child of illegitimacy they would prefer the former. The stigma of an erring parent can be outlived. "The Good and the Bad" In an editorial this city, attentive fact that out of lotted to the NRJ been allotted for Federal works.

THE WASHINGTON, TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1933 Home Ownership by The City Negro is Interesting Study By KELLY MILLER One is amazed almost beyond his senses as he sees Negroes ostensibly owning magnificent residences that were formerly built for people of wealth and substance. The census office has just released a bulletin giving the home ownership of Negroes in 33 cities having a Negro population of over twenty-five thousand. There is an aggregate of 104,696 owned homes out of a total urban population of 2,629,627. This would average one home for every twenty-five persons or one for every five families. This general showing is certainly highly commendable. The fifteen cities of over fifty thousand Negro inhabitants and the nineteen cities ranging between twenty-five and fifty thousand are studied separately. The homes are classified by valuation according to the appraisement given by the owners. One who is fairly well acquainted with city conditions finds himself greatly surprised at the number of homes which fall in the highest bracket—over twenty thousand dollars. There are in all 733 homes in this category. Chicago takes the lead with 269, New York follows with 228, and Washington with 73. No other city has as many as forty. These extravagant homes were for the most part the abandoned residences of the rich forced upon Negro purchasers by high-powered real estate salesmen. They far transcend the Negro's ability to own and maintain. They have no occupations, sustained income or accumulated wealth to maintain such establishments.

MANSIONS ONCE OCCUPIED BY WEALTHY PEOPLE One is amazed almost beyond his senses as he sees Pullman porters and red caps and barbers ostensibly owning and occupying these magnificent residences on South Boulevard, Chicago, or Morning Side, New York, which but a bare decade ago were built and occupied by people of wealth and substance. But in most instances ownership is only titular. Since these houses have been abandoned by whites at the behest of segregation, they must needs be delivered to colored owners or tenants on any terms. A few hundred dollars down and a deadly deed of trust turns the trick. These residences are tied as a mill stone about the necks of the owners who must needs struggle under the heavy burden of debt, the rest of their days to keep head above water. These fancy dwellings, too often assumed as symbols of progress represent the tragedy of the city Negro. What is said of these palaces will apply with somewhat lessened force to the 11,336 dwellings above $7,500.

Without hesitation he replied, "Not over seven thousand five hundred dollars." It is the lucky dog, not over a few dozen, who can safely go beyond that margin. In the cities of smaller size which fall chiefly in the South there is a moderate valuation. No home is quoted as high as twenty thousand. The great bulk fall under five thousand. The reasons for this discrepancy are obvious. Unfortunately the census bulletin does not give us any basis for comparison, but we may feel sure that there has been a great falling off during the years of the recent depression. These expensive palaces are falling back into the hands of the Jew who transferred them, only in turn to be transferred again by the same Jew to some gullible Negro purchaser. It is to be hoped that the federal largess will enable many of these people to retain these city homes which depression has placed in great jeopardy. The comparison between the city and the farm home naturally suggests itself.

The comparison between the city and the farm home naturally suggests itself. THE CITY HOME VS. THE FARM HOME A recent census bulletin gave us the data concerning the farm ownership. A city home is a liability; a farm is an asset—it is capital from which the owner makes a living for himself and family, whereas the city home only consumes his elsewhere earnings, and like Oliver Twist is constantly demanding more. Both the urban and rural Negro have fallen on hard ways. The city Negro is losing his home; the rural Negro is losing his farm. Unless the government comes to the rescue all or most all will be lost. It is needless to indulge in idle and impotent comparison of the lot of the two groups. Both are deplorable enough. The city offers no outlet and holds out little or no hope for the race as a mass. I would be disposed to say that one-fifth of the race would be better off in the city, and four-fifths in the country. A recent census bulletin gave us the data concerning the farm ownership.

Our great cities certainly cannot hold many more Negroes in solution without causing a dangerous black precipitation. In both city and country the remedy is with the government, not only for immediate relief, but for permanent remedy. I am a firm believer in redistributing the Negro population between city and country by encouraging rural communities and agricultural centers. Let me hasten to rejoin to the anticipated objection of segregation by a historical recital. When Admiral Farragut was cutting the Confederacy in twain by opening up the Mississippi River, the timid and over cautious warned him that the river was strewn with torpedoes. The daughty admiral replied—"Darn the torpedoes—go ahead." The city has already twice its quota.

Editor of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in America and the Negro in the Negro," and "The Negro Professional Man." Whine in Europe I became acquainted with the Countess of Jumilhac who has written an interesting book of travel in Abyssinia entitled "Ethiopia Moderns." Although it is not a scientific treatise it impressed the reader as being more than a book of travel. Unlike most writers of this class, she wrote of what she saw or was able to verify. We are inclined, then, to give her a higher rating as an authority on Africa than we are able to concede to the host of tourists and hunters who rush over the continent, glancing here and there to get glimpse of things which they weave into compelling best sellers devoured by Europeans and American imbeciles. In fact, with the exception of about a score of such works on Africa the public would be much better off if some one made a bonfire of them. This book, too, is more than a diary of a traveler. It was writte on the occasion of the coronation of the present emperor of the country, but in addition to what this occasion offered for the interpretation of the life of these people the Countess visited various parts of Abyssinia and even penetrated the wilds of that land to do what few men would have dared to to undertake and what women seldom dream of. What the Countess saw in Abyssinia makes a story too long to be mentioned here except as a summary. The extensive travel gave her the opportunity to study the relief of the country, its drainage, its industries, the people dwelling in the various parts, their racial background, their history, the present government, its local setting, its international relations and its prospects among the nations of the world. In spite of this serious approach, however, the book is written in an entertaining style so as to inform without tiring the reader. Book of High Standard One of the first striking assertions is the acceptance of the theory that the Abyssinians are Semitic for the reason of the tradition that they descended from the offspring of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. With the exception of this one mixture of fancy and fact, however, the book maintains a rather high standard. While there are writers who readily accept this view of Abyssinia there are others who classify these people as a part of black Africa. The various stocks making up the majority of the population are described by the author, but only the slaves or serfs among them are considered Negroes. The term Negro here, however, is used as most Europeans employ it to note perfectly black people. The author does not take up the important question as to the extent that the other stocks have interbreeded with the pure blacks to produce the population that we designate as Negroes in America. This book, then, in the hands of the traducers of the Negro may be used to discredit the race, for the Abyssinians who are not Negroes in the eyes of some Europeans would be classified to the contrary if transplanted to the United States. Discussng this verv point the author makes a statement which is decidedly misleading. Favorably impressed with the advancement of these people and asking for them the opportunity to continue their progress, she apparently tries to assure the world of their highest capacity in saying "I who know that they are not Negroes but Semites" etc. "should like so much to return there in order to penetrate and make an effort to understand better the psychology of these proud people who love above every thing else their independence." Africans Self-disciplined In other words, it would seem that if she had been convinced that they are Negroes she would have considered their case as hopeless. Yet, I am not sure that we would do the author justice to reach such a conclusion when she lives in a country where the so-called superiority or inferiority of races does not have such a sting as in the rural United States. In a letter to the undersigned a few days ago, moreover, the Countess of Jumilhac makes the following statement which does not harmonize with this thought appearing in her book. She said: "My travels all over the world have taught me to appreciate the races, who, though they have not a white skin, are often more self-disciplined and have higher aspirations and religious ideals than many that I see in Europe." The author was favorably impressed with the effort of feudal lords to modernize the country. She refers especially to the benefits resulting from foreign influence, but she does not fall to note how these people at times are duped by dishonest interlopers from all parts. She saw promising signs in what is now being done for the enlightenment of the people and expresses the hope that the much needed system of sanitation may soon be given attention. She seems to believe that this empire will endure to accomplish these things without the intercession of foreign agents except as advisers. Attracted by Gaudy Array The belief of the author in the future of the Abyssinians seems to result from the deep impression which they made as warriors arrayed on the occasion of the recent coronation. Feudal lords each with his comitatus and armed in both ancient and modern style, stern, exacting, and uncompromising, ever ready to dash upon the foe and to vanquish him without giving quarter, keeping watch day and night, eating meat raw because to build fires to cook it will disclose their whereabouts—this array struck her as wonderful. There were the men who defeated Italy, and they may defeat some other European nation that becomes unwise enough to attack the Abyssinians in their all but impregnable strongholds in a mountainous country. Taking up the actual contributions of these people, the author gives them high rank. Approaching their past sympathetically, she finds it by no means a blank period. For example, she learned that they knew how to purify the blood by a process of burning which baffles the skill of learned European physicians and scientists. They had developed a cure for snake-bite poison centuries before Pasteur was born. Here, however, the author again leaves us in the dark as to whether these cures originated with native Africans or with the Semitic element which they say immigrated into Africa. We do not find any record of such cures among the early Hebrews, and we do know otherwise of a cure for snake-bite poison discovered by an African called Caesar noted in 1789. This thought-evoking book, then, summons us to the further study of the African's knowledge of science. Substitute Husbands As to morals of the Abyssinians the author is still more laudatory. Polygamy is practiced but loose women are not permitted to plague the community. A man is supposed to have need of woman, and wherever he goes to remain for any long period he must be accompanied by his wife. If it is necessary for him to remain away from his wife for a long time, he turns her over to his most trusted male friend who during the absence of the legal husband sustains to her the relation of a temporary companion. If offspring results from such a union, the parties concerned provide for it. When the temporary husband is in the home with the wife, he leaves his javelin at the door. If the legal husband, on returning, finds the javelin there he does not enter the house until his temporary successor leaves and removes it. Then the absent spouse enters, and things assume the order of the days prior to his departure. The Countess of Jumilhac finds this a much more honorable way of dealing with this situation than that of the thousands of Europeans who secretly prey upon absent husbands' wives. She expresses the wish that Europeans will be honorable enough also to leave their javelins at the door. In the Realm of Books By C. LESLIE FEAZIER A prize contest for the best essay on what James Weldon Johnson's autobiography, "Along This Way," means to the Negro student, is announced by the Viking Press, Inc., publishers of the book. The first prize will be $25, with second and third awards of $10 and $5 and a copy of the book will also be presented in each case. Three autographed copies of the book will be awarded for honorable mention. The three judges are Miss Crystal Bird, George S. Schuyler and Benjamin Brawley, all prominent in the realm of Negro literature. * * * * "Toward Liquor Control," the complete report based upon the study of liquor control, sponsored by John D.

ANDERSON HASTENING THE EVENT The following article from the Greensboro (N.C.) Daily News, white, of October 11th is so pertinent that I am passing it on to you, en totum, instead of my own writings. It was written by R. R. (Bob) Clark, Carolina columnist, and explains itself: "HASTENING THE EVENT" HASTENING THE EVENT With us, race prejudice is not so marked, generally speaking, so long as the Negroes "keep their place" the place which the usual run of the white population has fixed as proper for them. But whenever a Negro appears in a role different from that in which the whites in a given community have been accustomed, the race prejudice appears, even if it does not express itself in acts. If a Negro attorney, for instance appears in court where Negro attorneys have not been known, should cross-examine white witnesses after the manner of white lawyers—which would be his right if white lawyers have that right—trouble might follow. Presumably Negro attorneys have appeared rarely, if at all, in the court of Vance county; or if they appeared it was in a minor role that did not attract attention. "So when two Negro attorneys appeared in Vance Superior Court and in behalf of their clients attacked the methods of drawing juries in support of their motion to quash an indictment, claiming that there was discrimination to keep the blacks off of juries—which ordinarily nobody would deny—it is understandable that race feeling would appear. "While nobody can deny that the Negro attorneys were clearly within their rights in appearing as counsel and in using the same means commonly employed by white attorneys in behalf of their clients, the people who don't think a Negro has a place in court procedure except as witness or defendant, did not, of course, stop to consider the rights and privileges of the Negro lawyers. "To this element they were objectionable because they were Negroes who criticised the acts of white officials. Hence the demonstrations directed to the Negro attorneys that caused Lawyer Everett to take them out of town in his car to avoid trouble. "The demonstrators who intimidated the Negro lawyers had in mind only their personal dislike of Negroes appearing as attorneys, or especially of their talk when they proceeded after the manner of attorneys all about, white, black or brown. They of course gave no thought to the possible effect on the public at large, the reflection on the administration of justice in North Carolina and on the reputation of the state as to its treatment of the colored race. "They couldn't think of that, of course, or if they did it would be a small matter compared with their personal feelings. No doubt they thought their manifestation of disapproval of the demand of the attorneys that Negroes be drawn on juries would forestall and prevent that possibility. They could not be expected to understand that such incidents as that at Henderson will hasten the appearance of Negroes on juries. "They will hasten the bringing of test cases, the results of which are foreseen and anticipated by whites who are willing to look at things as they are. Which means that when the straight-out issue reaches the highest tribunal, with nothing to stand on except the color of the skin, that it isn't expected to stand. "Some of the Virginia judges, anticipating that probability, have ordered Negroes drawn on juries. The Virginia judges prefer to voluntarily accept a condition they anticipate rather than have it forced on them. "What we have to remember, or to consider, is that these matters will not be settled according to our personal prejudices. "The Negro has 'his place' assigned him by the majority of white preference—in the South at least. But what we find it difficult to recognize is that he is within his rights when he goes to other places to which his ability may carry him, regardless of white preferences." ably violent disagreement, because the title indicates real plans, definitely outlined, and not merely theories expounded. The author believes that he has devised a complete plan for social readjustment which will bring the actual realization of democratic ideals; that his plan is scientific and economic rather than political, and that its program is economic and practical for immediate working. Although it is a book of less than two hundred pages, every line is packed with clearly though out statements, with facts and figures well authenticated. It is an extremely timely book for today, and one that will be eagerly scanned for what it may offer of future possibilities, which all thinkers are seeking to base upon present conditions.

If the dog has no family background, his owner can claim no honors for him. A record of some sort has to verify the dog's purity. A mere resemblance of being a thoroughbred dog is not enough to obtain the blue ribbon. But with the necessary qualifications the dog can carry with him a certain dignity for in his vein runs a continual flow of unmixed blood. He is considered to be above the ordinary alley dog, and he often lives a life of ease in some rich home. His record is his salvation. The different races of men are classified by their contributions to art, literature, music and science. Like the dog in some sense, the races must show some record in the intellectual field. If by any chance a certain race can exhibit no evidence towards progress in certain lines, it is looked upon as a draw back to civilization by the more industrial races. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, which held sessions here this week, should be given high praise in its effort to exalt the African world of art and to bring to a close the chasm that has always existed between it and the Afro-American art. The American Negro, up to now, has had little to display, to other races in the field of art. The fault would naturally be laid to the years lost in slavery. Although the short 70 years of freedom have allowed much advancement, nevertheless they do not prove adequate enough when compared to the other races' centuries of progress. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History has taken a step in the right direction to add to the glorification of the American Negro. African art, African science, and African literature is our own forgotten contribution to the world. Centuries ago, our forefathers were torn from that happy land and thrown into slavery in America. Here they worked, bled, prayed and died. Then came freedom after hundreds of years. The race was taught in the early years of freedom to despise Africa and the things of Africa. The result is that the American Negro today is somewhat arrogent toward Africans. Let us follow the lead of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and praise Africa and exalt its literature, art, music, and science, for after all Africa is our father-land. Think It Over By BEATRICE M. MURPHY Think It Over By BEATRICE M. MURPHY PRAYER OF THE SHUT-IN FAIL NOT TO SEEK A wise philosopher said: "All I can do for you is to tell you the things you know but which possibly you do not know you know until I tell you." That is really all that anyone can do. You may search diligently for the answer to your particular problems, and believe that some-where you will find the Delphian Oracle which will yield the magic answer to you; but after long and fruitless years you will discover how wrong you are. The truth lies within you. The world only gives you the material which will help you to interpret it. Sometimes in our search for an adequate answer we find very valuable and essential information. Balboa spent a great many years searching for the fountain of youth and all he discovered was the Pacific Ocean. Did I say all? That was a pretty big discovery, although he was disappointed that he did not reach his goal. It takes a wise man to fit every little bit of truth he learns into the mosaic of his life. The puzzle fan has all of the puzzle in front of him but it doesn't mean anything unless he has the patience and the knack of fitting them together to make a complete picture. So in life, you have the answers to all of your questions, but unless you have the insight to know the answer when you find it, then all of your knowledge and all of your intellect goes to naught. There is no magic key—no secret formula—no scientific theory—for meeting life and coming out on top. It takes courage and common sense. You will delve and search and experience; only to suddenly stumble upon the truth—that you have been seeking that which you already had; yet had you not sought, you would never have known that you had it. "For," says the same writer, "this is all there is of teaching—to supply an atmosphere in which a thought can germinate and grow." In the days of Jackson competition may have been the life of trade. In the day of Roosevelt cooperation is the way of life.—Robert F. Wagner. After all, is not the mind of the public educated quickly by events—but very slowly by arguments. Emotions rust if they are not used once in a while.—Jay E. House. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Negro History Week Influences Socials By VIVIAN TURNER The week's program has been so very full that it is an extremely difficult task to determine with which particular activity we should begin. Probably the outstanding affairs of the week which were responsible for the assemblage of so many prominent out-of-town people were those sponsored by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. Hundreds of visitors were present to attend the annual meeting of this organization. Many private dinners, luncheons and parties were given by friends for the entertainment of the visitors. Mrs. L. W. Morris, Miss Gertrude Dodson and Mrs. Martha A. McAdoo are to be complimented upon the splendid and home-like reception tendered all visitors at the Y.W.C.A. on last Sunday evening. Miss Naomi Johnson and Mrs. L. B. Dudley were artists, who added to the enjoyment of the evening. On Monday afternoon, members, visitors and friends had a "get-requainted" dinner at the Whitewell Hotel, with Dr. Mason A. Hawkins, of Baltimore; Dr. Willis N. Higgins, of New York; and Mrs. Lucy Hart Smith, of Lexington, Kentucky, giving short addresses to those present. All afternoon and evening meetings were crowded to capacity with well-known artists and scholars appearing on the programs. The meeting closed Wednesday. Now let us turn to Washington's favorite sport at this season of the year—football—where everyone rubs shoulders and chats about the football hero, his successes and failures. The Howard University team tackled those fighting boys of West Virginia Institute at Charleston, on last Saturday. As usual there were those faithful followers who accompanied the team and offered inspiration when the spirit of the team weakened. After the game the boys were tendered a reception. While Howard tackled West Virginia Institute the boys of Miner Teachers' College met those of Cheyney Teachers' College at the Walker Stadium. A very pretty Hallowe'en barn dance was given at the college after the game in honor of the visitors. And still another football game in Baltimore between Morgan and Bluefield drew many Washingtonians to Baltimore looking for real thrills. Among those seen attending the game were Joseph Burch, Dr. Welch, Dr. W. E. Taylor, and Green, Dr. and Mrs. Henry Green and Dr. and Mrs. George Adams. Competing with football games and conflicting with each other various parties and dances were on the increase last week. Miss Beatrice Truman, of Baltimore, Md., was the house guest of the Misses Portia and Wilhelmina Bullock, of 408 T Street, Northwest, over the week-end. On Friday evening the Misses Bullocks entertained for Miss Truman at the Temple Luncheonette. Among those present were Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Goodloe, Philip Tolson, Woody Robinson, of New York City; Edward Morrison, and Frances Bullock. Miss Poly Randall, of 1441 Swann Street, Northwest, was hostess to a party of friends on Tuesday evening at her home. The affair was a Hallowe'en celebration. The decorations were significant of the occasion and were artistically and attractively arranged. Among the guests present were: Ruth Smith, Louise Cain, Eleanor Smith, Marion Hudnell, Mary Ethelridge, Lewis Stallwell, Robert Smith, Leon and Stewart Ethelridge, Franz Harris, Absalom Jordan. Mrs. Peggy Ellis was given a surprise birthday party on last Saturday evening at her home, 1815 S Street, Northwest. The presents given Mrs. Ellis were beautiful as well as practical. Those present included Mr. and Mrs. James Hamilton, Prof. Anderson, Evelyn Wood, Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Mallette, Agnes Williams, Maurice Newsome, Mr. and Mrs. Luther Mills, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mills, Oscar Frederick, Marie Ellis, Claybourn Allen, and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Christian. * * * * The Fortnightly Bridge Club reorganized on Tuesday evening and met with Mrs. Iola Clark, 147 Thomas Street, Northwest. The members are Mrs. Iola Clark, Mrs. Ida Reid, Mrs. Sylvia Patterson, Miss Mayme Mehlinger, Mrs. Vivian Pelham, Mrs. Edna Perry, Mrs. Hope Perry, Mrs. Pauline Compton and Rosa Martin. With the opening of Crystal Caverns, society has a new play ground. Sunday evening among the guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Leon Irving, George Hatch, Orion Whitney, Ona Polk, Blanche Williams, Addie Whittingham, Attorney George Hayes, Arthur Logan, Frank Kimball, Harry Strothers, Tom Harlan, Agnes Williams, Frederick Ashe, Wickam, Frank Owens and party, Freddy Wood and Mar Weatherless. **** Prophet Costomie (Tony Green), formerly of Washington, who has been carrying on revivals in various cities, has recently completed a four weeks' meeting at Perkins Square Baptist Church in Baltimore, Md. During his stay there he placed fifteen young men in American and A.&P. Stores and ten girls in stores on Pennsylvania Avenue. Mrs. L. L.

Disgruntled Clubs Left Out of National Card League Several of the clubs which were members of the National Card League, when it was founded a year ago, have resigned from the organization. The reasons for the withdrawals have not been made known, but it is presumed that certain necessary changes in the club program had something to do with the action. The outstanding change of the proposed program was in the schedule of games. Because of the huge entry list, league officials found it necessary to adopt a course by which each club would be required to play five games, with the winner being determined by the best record at the end of their respective series. The change did not meet with the approval of all the entrants, and the retirements of these entrants followed. Officials feel that the award of the trophy to the Eclipse Club was justified on the above-mentioned basis. The entry list for the current year was restricted, selections being made by league committeemen, who subsequently invited the clubs chosen to participate. The plan for this year is to have each of the clubs meet another in a best two-of-three series, which was impossible with the large number of clubs which were entered last year. The results of last Tuesday's games were as follows: Freelancers defeated Eclipse, 206 to 163; Bloomingdales defeated the Harlems, 195 to 145. The second set will be played tonight (Thursday). The defeat of the defending champions caused much comment among the other participants, but all voiced a confidence that both the champions and their conquerors would find the road to the 1933-34 title quite rocky. The Capital Contract Club, John W. Cromwell, president, and R. B. Pearson, secretary, is the latest addition to the league roll. Tribune City Editor Surprise Guest Samuel H. (Sam) Lacy, city editor of the Washington Tribune, was made the surprise guest of honor at a birthday party tendered him at his apartment residence, 1824 S Street, Northwest, by his wife, Mrs. Alberta Lacy, last Monday night.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1933 Did you see Mrs. George E. C. Hayes, 1732 S Street, at the Abbie Mitchell Recital the other night? If you did, "You know and I know, and you know that I know, and you know that I know that you know that I know," that there was not a lovelier young matron in that vast audience than the prominent attorney's wife. In a pretty periwinkle blue dress with the very newest of new touches (a bunch of flowers at the neck, and weren't they too charming just under her chin?) With a tan lapin jacket to keep in the chic and keep out the cold, she was positively bewitching. Isn't Mr. Norman Newman, 1458 Corcoran Street, and one of Washington's business men too popular for anything? Just as you have made up your mind that the little Corcoran Street widow is the "one and only," you meet him at a smart gathering with a cute little dancing-eyed lady who smiles so beautifully you forget everything—even her name. Did you hear about the "Big Bad Wolf?" He caused an awful lot of commotion in the northwest section of the city last Tuesday night. It seems that a pretty little maiden, all dressed up and looking like "Red Riding Hood" herself, was waiting patiently for "Little Boy Blue" (he's the lucky fellow you find at her house every Sunday night) to take her to a Halloween dance. Suddenly there came a fierce knuckle at her door and in walked the "Big Bad Wolf," grabbed up "Red Riding Hood" and rushed right off with her (no, not to a deep, dark cave, there to devour his pretty prey, but to another place where witches and goblins and all such things were whirling about in a merry chase). And was that "Sunday night Boy" mad? He was. And here's hoping the two men never meet. But alas, they may! For the "Big Bad Wolf," "Little Boy Blue," and even the dainty "Red Riding Hood" are all well-known Washingtonians. And if you'd like to know their names, kindly refer to next week's issue of this paper, page - - oh, but that would be too cruel. Besides, the disappointed swain is a very good friend of a friend of mine. Word comes from Huntsville, Alabama where young Messrs. Mark and Thomas Cox of 2207 Thirteenth Street, are attending Oakwood Junior College, that those very interesting twin brothers are showing Alabama what Washington "Who's Who" can really do. Meanwhile, their ever so devoted mother, Mrs. Lula B. Cox, of the Miner Teachers' College, misses her two tall escorts terribly and her friends are saying, "May I go with you to Huntsville Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or maybe Easter?" Because they know that as long as there are wheels on a Chevrolet and maps to point the way, she'll be dashing down to Alabama just any old holiday. What a picture Mrs. Florence Brown, 1710 Second Street, makes in that new crepe dress of brightest autumn brown! When she tilts her brief-brimmed hat so that it hides one snappy eye; when she adds a couple of earrings (just to tantalize you); when she wraps her charming self in a clever fox-trimmed coat, you can't say a single word. All you do is stand wide-eyed and open-mouthed. Finally you recover sufficiently to stammer, "Florence—you're—simply—stunning!" You're at the home of Mrs. Matilda Wilson, 1125a Twentyth Street. It's the luncheon hour and you're there to meet her out of town guests, interesting Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reed of Montclair, N.J. and dashing Mr. Wm. Saunders of New York. There are other guests too. Mrs. Alice Thornton, Mrs. Davby, niece of the hostess, and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Tate. (Of course you knew the Tates would be there, because it actually seems that no narty is complete without them. You've met them all and you have tried oh, so desperately and finally succeeded in remembering everyone's name. (The odorous odor of good things to eat enamoring from somewhere made it exceedingly difficult). And now charming Mrs. Wilson is leading you to the dining room (and isn't that the very thing you have been wanting her or somebody to do?) For by this time, the delightful aroma has so enveloped you that everyone, including the suave New Yorker—but you're at the table now! And you see first the lovely flowers, adorning the table and you know right away that they came from the dear little garden back of Mrs. Tate's home. Now, such food you see! Honeydew melon, soup, fried chicken, candied sweet potatoes, French beans, apple salad, pickled apricots, ice cream, cake, coffee. Don't ask what the guests did after a luncheon like that, or even how they got home. But if Mrs. Wilson ever invites you to a lunchon, or anything else for that matter, answer yes in a hurry. What a fine combination—the two "Maes"—Billy Mae Johnson and Fannie Mae Burrell, two of Washington's most fascinating beauty culturers, who have opened "The Vogue Beauty Shop" at 411 Florida Avenue, Northwest—and what a dainty parlor it is! Success to you, Girls. We know of your excellent work and will see you soon. Mr. Charles Cornish, popular man about town and ever so prominent in Elk circles was seen walking out Fifteenth Street the other day. No I didn't mention his destination but if you come a little nearer, I'll whisper her name. The minute you saw radiant Roberta Smootz, 1741 T Street, dashing toward Baltimore in that lovely blue silk ensemble, beige lace-trimmed, with hat, gloves and shoes to match, you just knew she was hurrying to the Wedding Anniversary Reception of the Baltimore "Crawfords." This time it's the ministers' wives. No I wasn't there. I am one of those unlucky individuals that can't count a minister in a whole train-load of relatives; can't even claim a minister as an in-law. (I understand that a number of those present were there by virtue of their own importance and not because of any relationship to ministers) and I can't, for the love of me, see why you were left out. But at any rate, the Interdecomnational Council of Ministers' Wives met at the spacious home of Rev. and Mrs. Bullock last week, and—well, if you'll take my advice you'll go quickly and get yourself connected in some way with a "member of the cloth" so they won't be able to miss you next time. The occasion was the Monthly Meeting and Annual Installation Reception and it did seem that every minister's wife that could find time to d love a gown and rush over to 408 T Street, was there. The beaming hostess was captivating in a dress of soft blue silk as were Mrs. G. T. Fairley, Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, and Mrs. I. S. Lee. The president, Mrs. H. B. Taylor, was becomingly gowned in black as also were Mrs. T. F. Threlkeld, Mrs. R. W. Brooks, Mrs. J. S. Holloman, Mrs. Green, Mrs. Medford and Mrs. Julia West Hamilton. Mrs. J. R. Barnum and Mrs. C. L. Russell were charming in autumn brown Looking lovely also were Mrs. E. W. D. Jones, Mrs. O. L. Rand, Mrs. M. S. Whitfield, Mrs. M. L. Thompson and many others. There were addresses and oh, such beautiful singing by Mrs. Lucy Simon and Mrs. G. B. McMillan, and (think of it) a banquet! (and of course the ministers themselves arrived for that). There were after-dinner speeches, toasts and—well, the ministers, their wives and the other guests finally made up their minds to go home, tired it's true, but very happy indeed. California Matron Visits Capital Mrs. Mattie Marshall, prominent society matron of Los Angeles, California, was a visitor in the city early this week. She was the house guest of her brother, John Calhoun, 1755 Willard Street, Northwest. Mrs. Marshall was guest of honor at a dinner party given at the above address Sunday night after having been guest in a sightseeing party earlier in the day. She visited the U.S. Capitol, White House, Library of Congress and many other public buildings. On Monday, Mrs. Marshall, accompanied by her brother, visited Mount Vernon, Va. Before coming to Washington, Mrs. Marshall visited the Century of Progress at Chicago.

By the same token the warm bed has an added attraction and the popular dishes with the housewife are those that are quickly prepared. There is where nutritious self-rising flour proves to be a veritable boon. All measuring of baking powder and salt and mixing with the flour has been done at the mill. A flip of the beater on the egs, a stir for the milk, and a whisk into the flour and presto! A batter that is ready for the griddle. A pleasant variation, and one that is particularly popular, with those who do ot care for syrup on their cakes is to make the cakes somewhat thinner and larger in diameter than usual and then roll each one about a temptingly browned sausage, holding it in place with the ever useful tooth pick. If you prefer ham to sausage have it sliced very thin and just heated through. Place a piece on the cake and roll the two together quickly and serve with all possible speed. Some Breakfast Menus Have you ever tried adding bits of bacon—crisply fried and broken—to eggs well beaten and fried, pancake style? They are very good—particularly when served with maple syrup.

Whichever way you finish off potatoes, if you can boil or bake them first in the skins you will retain more of the valuable minerals that come close to the outside, and waste less in peeling. Need you be reminded of baked potatoes "on the half shell," hashed brown potatoes, chips, German fried potatoes, or French fries? Or creamed potatoes in a white sauce, with or without cheese? Do you know potatoes cooked in a tomato sauce? The trick about making scalloped potatoes of fine flavor is to sprinkle each layer with the flour, salt, and fat, and to cook so slowly that the flour and seasoning blend with the milk and potato. Fry the salt pork until light brown and crisp and remove the pieces from the pan. Make white sauce of the milk, flour, and 3 tablespoons of the pork drippings. Cook the celery, parsley, and onion for a few minutes in the rest of the pork drippings, and add to this the bread crumbs and seasonings. Combine all ingredients, using the hands to mix thoroughly. The mixture will have a sticky consistency. Lay a piece of parchment paper on a rack in an open roasting pan. Mold the meat loaf on the paper with the hands. Bake in a moderate oven (350° F.) for 1 1/4 hours. Do not cover the pan and do not add water to it. Remove the loaf from the paper and serve hot, or chill it for slicing cold. Apples Always Welcome Or perhaps you or your family have a penchant for apples. If so you will find apple compote relishable. Pare the apples, core them carefully, and cut in half-inch pieces. Make a rich sirup, 1 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water. Add the pieces of apple to the boiling sirup. Cook till the apples are transparent. Commercial coloring matter of cinnamon candies added to the sirup give the apples a pleasing color. These apple slices are very pretty as a garnish for the morning's bacon.

Average SEVEN Evangelist Says Wife Sent Him Death Threat in Mail SAYS WIFE SENT DEATH THREATS THRU THE MAILS Mrs. Evelyn Stith Denies Charges and Counters With Non-Support Charging his estranged wife with sending him a letter threatening his life, William Stith, 1327 T Street, Northwest, swore out a warrant for her arrest this week. In Police Court, Tuesday morning, Mrs. Evelyn Stith, 1600 block of New Jersey Avenue, denied writing the letter and charged that her husband sought revenge against her for having him brought before the Juvenile Court on a non-support charge. Stith became angry when his wife told the court that he had beaten her several times and had refused to contribute to the support of their infant child and attempted to interrupt her testimony, but was silenced by court attaches. Mrs. Stith, who was represented by Attorney Armond Scott, testified that she had her husband summoned before the Juvenile Court for failure to support her and their child. He was ordered to pay her $4 each week, but was several months back. She stated that her husband had been summoned before the court on Monday on the non-support charge, but he failed to appear. Says He is an Evangelist Stith claims he is an independent evangelist and was invited to speak at the House of Prayer October 15, but was asked from the pulpit when his sermon did not appeal to the doctrine of the church. However, Mr. Stith says that he has joined the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. He also says his father is a pastor of St. James Baptist Church, Tarboro, N.C. Some years ago he was connected with Bishop Grace, in Norfolk, Va., and claims he helped Bishop Grace build a church in Norfolk. The letter alleged to have been written by Mrs. Stith said, "Now, William, there is no need for you trying to live. My mind is made up to see you die. (Signed). Evelyn." Stith also claimed that his wife sent him newspaper clippings of funeral parlors. The court continued the case until November 17, and warned the couple not to molest each other in the meantime. In a letter to the Inter-Denominal National Alliance this week, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie, of Maryland said that every effort is being made to apprehend mob members who lynched George Armwood on October 18. Governor Ritchie wrote: "I assure you and the Ministers' Alliance that every authority and resource at the command of the Governor and the Attorney-General is being used to get at the bottom of this occurrence and to apprehend the guilty persons." The Alliance, of which the Rev. R. W. Brooks is president, wrote the state's chief executive demanding that "you declare unequivocally your position on the most horrible crime in the annals of American history."

TRIGG LECTURES AT MORGAN DR. TRIGG LECTURES AT MORGAN BALTIMORE, Md.-On Wednesday, October 25, the Rev. Dr. Charles Young Trigg, pastor of Metropolitan M.E. Church, was presented at the Morgan chapel service. The Rev. Mr. Trigg spoke on the subject, "Something Behind Government." The purpose underlying the discourse was to acquaint the students with the fact that it is to them the world looks for a way out of the social and economic crisis into which the American people have been plumbed. According to Dr. Trigg, "This way out can only be gained through the developing of a wholesome public opinion and a sane social consciousness on the part of the public." He added, "The masses of people do not rationalize upon the social problems but accept a biased view that is handed down by our partisan politicians. The future preservation of the masses rests with the youth who will create and focus a wholesome public opinion on the important issues of the day." The weekly chapel services at Morgan afford the students an opportunity to benefit from such lectures as Dr. Trigg's and other outstanding speakers who are presented each week.

E. football ticket for pre CARDOZO CLERK CONTESTS WIFE'S ALIMONY ACTION Lims Mate Forfeited Monthly Support to Remarry With all efforts to perfect a reconciliation apparently abandoned, Clarence O. Kelley, of 37 Q Street, Northwest, clerk of the Cardozo Business High School, and his wife, Mrs. Ethel Kelley, of 616 Third Street, Northeast, have taken their martial rift to the District Supreme Court to be ironed out. Mrs. Kelley took the first legal step, last week, when, through John H. Wilson, she asked the court to award her a limited divorce, accompanied by temporary alimony during the proceedings and permanent alimony after final hearing. Admits $30 Payments In support of her request, she cited that her mate earns $1,270 a year as clerk, and alleged that he had refused to give her money since June 30, past. Mrs. Kelley, however, gave the clerk credit for giving her $30 a month for some time after his reputed desertion on the last day of October, 1929. Mrs. Kelley went further. She made the claim that she was suffering with a constitution weakness which necessitated constant medical attention. This condition, asserted the wife, prevents her from securing work. She also inserted the opinion in her statement that Kelley had consulted a Maryland attorney, and expressed the fear that he would seek to secure a Maryland divorce on illegal or fraudulent grounds with regards to his residence in that state Upon the strength of Mrs. Kelley's affidavit that she was forced to live with her mother and had no means of support, the court allowed her to file the petitioin without prepayment of costs. In his answer to his wife's petition, Kelley said, a separation was mutually arranged around September 15, 1929, with Kelley agreeing to pay his wife $30 a month for maintenance and support. This he did, continues the answer, up to and including September, 1932. On October 1, 1932, Kelley asserts that he and his wife got together and had another agreement. He states he related to her that he had certain debts and obligations to meet and Mrs. Kelley agreed to accept $18 a month. $18 Payment Stopped The payment of the $18 continued up to and including the month of July, 1933, it is further said. Mrs. Kelley was then alleged to have told her husband that she wanted to remarry. The petition states further that the wife requested the clerk to get the divorce and bear all the expenses, and agreed that the $18 a month payment be discontinued. Kelley insists that it has only been recently that he learned through consultation with an attorney that he could secure a divorce under the circumstances which would allow the wife to remarry. The clerk's petition states that he believes that she is physically able and capable of engaging $ in any gainful occupation. In listing expenses of $104.25 a month, Kelley requested that the woman's petition be turned down.

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER PICKET DECISION WITHHELD UNTIL NOVEMBER15 PICKET DECISION WITHHELD UNTIL NOVEMBER15 New Negro Alliance Members Await Decision of Motion for Direct Verdict A further continuance in the case against Dutton Ferguson and James Ward, set for Wednesday morning in Police Court, was ordered by Judge Gus A. Schuldt, presiding justice, when the pair appeared with counsel for a decision on their motion for a directed verdict. The date of November 15 was agreed upon. The two youths, members of the New Negro Alliance, faced trial on October 3, on charges of unauthorized transportation of signs, growing out of a campaign of picketing the Ninth and S Streets branch of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company chain. The store was the object of the first to place Negro clerks in local branches where colored trade is heavy. B. V. Lawson, W. H. Hastie and E. P. Lovett, attorneys for the New Negro Alliance members, attacked the technicality of the term "sign" and "advertisement" used in the government argument. After a lengthy discussion, defense counsel entered a plea for a directed verdict. Arguments included parallels with which the court was not familiar, and he continued the case until he had taken it under advisement.

Freaks, Some Natural, Lead Long Parade of Halloween Celebrants Colored Washington Honors Legendary Feast; Oddities of Every Description Brush Shoulders as Crowds Flock to Main Thoroughfares By NUMB D. PLUMB Flat-nosed Indians shovel-footed past Mexicans of a deep pescue hue as old folks—tall and fat, short and thin—vied with young folks—cut and shy, homely and smart-alekey—in celebration of Hallowe'en in the nation's capital. Seventh Street, U Street, Fourteenth Street, Georgia Avenue, and Four-and-a-Half Street were mecas of gay movement as colored Washington honored the feast of All Saints as best it knew how. As usual such absurdities as kinky-haired Spanish matators dominated in the long, continuous parade of costumes of "nowhere." As usual also, Tuesday night was the one night in the year that everybody finds some place to go even if it's just "out." An ever-lasting stream of traffic fared along the main thoroughfares from the fall of dusk to far past midnight. Washington was turned festival Theatres were deserted, dance halls were unpopular, cabarets and night clubs swelled, house-hops "jumped." Mixed Up Sexes False-faces (those not already attached), goblins, witches and ghosts of the youthful Halloween we once knew were lost.

MAN License to marry was granted, last week, to Miss Annie Contee, 2', of 1331 Third Street, Northwest, and James Harkins, 25, of Lanham. Md. ment were "women" with raucous legs which looked like those of a cowboy the Indians had shot a horse from under, and "men" who brazier-less, trod along in high-heeled slippers. And then there were those others—you know, the "neuters." As I viewed the throng there formulated in my mind a vision of a pick-pocket harvest. The closely woven mass of humanity showed no little promise for those with lust in their eyes and ambition on their finger-tips. But it was not long ere it could be seen that many of these would be disappointed. Misplaced "busties" on clumsily-attired impersonators of the effeminate had, in some cases, slipped down to positions where side-pockets are located in a man's trousers. Other deceptive characteristics included knotted leg-muscles which appeared to betray the presence of the traditional "bank-roll in the stocking." Seriously though, the night was unquestionably successful in its mimicry of a "big time" Mardi Gras. Moonlight, stars, warmth—nature walked hand-in-hand with everything. The beauty was appalling. The gayety, the hilarity, the geniality, all helped make the whole affair a pleasure to the eye. I turned—and looked into the face of a black Chinaman.

The transfer of Miss Patterson from the kindergarten to the primary grades upon recommendation of H. H. Long, chief examiner, was also approved. Clothing Needs Probed 3 LAWYER BLAMES SCHOOL BOARD FOR NEGLIGENCE Four Appointments and Two Reinstatements Are Approved Reverberations of the falling plastering at the Logan School which severely injured two students, recently, were heard by the Board of Education Wednesday, when they listened to an attorney's letter which promised legal action if a satisfactory settlement were not made. The two boys who suffered head injuries when a portion of the ceiling fell as the class was engaged in its morning's devotionals are: Joseph Brown, 12, of 221 E Street, Northeast, and Paul Starkes, 13, of 723 First Street, Northeast. They are reported to be well on the way to recovery. Board Gets Blame In his communication to the board, S. R. Swancey, lawyer, advised the board that he had been retained by the parents of the boys to represent them and volunteered the opinion that he had a "meritorious case." The missive blamed the board for failure to provide a safe place of study for the youths. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, recommended that the letter, together with the superintendent's report, be referred to the Corporation Counsel, which action was approved. The board was also advised that the plaster ceilings on the second floor of the Logan School have since been replaced with heaver board and work panels. Another communication was received by the board from the Public Utilities Commission as the outgrowth of a request made after the crushing to death of five-year-old Rudolph Hackley, of 234 Oakdale Street, in front of the Mott School by a bus of the Washington Railway and Electric Company. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, immediately after the accident wrote the company asking that buses operating around the Mott School be routed. The request was forwarded to the Utilities Commission. The board in a subsequent meeting put its official approval on Mr. Wilkinson's action and directed a second request. The appointments of one teacher, one clerk, two persons to the department of attendance, two, reinstatements, and four transfers were among other matters sanctioned by the school commissioners. Miss V. E. Leigh was appointed to the Shaw Junior High School on probation as of November I. Mrs. M. R. Burke was reinstated as teacher of the Douglass-Simmons School, and Mrs. E. B. Williamson, as teacher of the Stevens School. Miss M. V. Johnson was appointed clerk to the supervising principal of Division 10. Miss Frances Cardozo was appointed in the attendance office of the colored schools, while Miss Mae Wright was appointed clerk in the same department. Clothing Needs Probed Considering a report that 211 children are unable to attend school because of insufficient clothing, the board authorized Superintendent Ballou to ascertain how these children can be helped. Mrs. Henry Gratton Doyle, member, in discussing the report made by Miss Fay Bentley, director of works permits, declared: "Even in these difficult days it is indeed unfortunate to realize that there are more than 200 children in the Nation's Capital who are ashamed to attend school because they haven't proper clothing. There are probably more." Dr. Ballou opined that it was a question of whether the aid should come from a Federal relief agency or social agencies of the Community Chest.

Geriah Lankins, pastor of the McKinley Memorial Baptist Church, took for his text at 11 a.m., last Sunday, "Righteousness exalteth the nation but sin is a reproach to any people." He preached on the lynching in Maryland of George Armwood. He spoke in part as follows: "Race prejudice is innate. Racist pride is as old as man and as universal as the human family. They are a part of us and cannot be completely rooted out, but will remain until the millennium dawn, but malicious hatred and animosity and the spirit of murder are of the devil, and, like their father, opposed to all human progress. There are two great forces in this world to wit, good and evil. One is elevating and the other is degrading. We are under the influence of one or the other. There is no escape. We are either on the side of righteousness or wickedness. Righteousness elevates, but sin destroys. What is true of an individual is true of a race. Righteousness exalthet a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. If a rich man is kidnapped all of the machinery of the government is in action at once to apprehend and punish the perpetrators of the deed, but if a man is murdered or lynched the government is helpless."

Brooks, superintendent of Union Wesley Sunday school, addressed Galbraith Sunday school. Among other things he said: "1. We want to standardize the Sunday schools of the District. "2.

Trigg, president of the National Ascociation for the Advancement of Colored People, was booed off the platform at a mass protest meeting held in Union Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, against the lynching of George Armwood, and Euel Lee. The Church was packed, and an overflow meeting was arranged in the basement. The Rev. Mr. Trigg, taking the floor and demanding that the International Labor Defense and for that matter all the white workers, be excluded from the United Front against lynching, was received in stony silence in the main meeting, but booed and hissed and he was forced to leave the platform at the basement meeting.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Doomed Man Writes Mother To Be of Good Cheer Doomed Man Writes Mother To Be of Good Cheer On a visit to the District Jail, Thursday, the following letter was handed Mrs. Geraldine Chapman, of 112 H Street, Southwest, by William, C. Robinson, doomed to be electrocuted the following morning, with the request that she give it to his mother, Mrs. Martha Robinson, of 338 H Street, Southwest, Friday, after his electrocution: "Dear Mother: "I don't know what to tell you at this hour, things are almost at the end. "But be of good cheer, God is with us even at the darkest hour. I guess this will be my last letter to you from this place. I'm about to steal away to my Master, who is waiting in Glory for my soul. "Dear mother, I know how you feel about this, but it is hard and it seems to us to be unfair, but it is God's will; He is the Captain of this Ship, nothing happens without Him leading it. "I leave my last words with you. Be strong and put your trust in the Almighty God. He will see us through all battles no matter how hard they be. "And I want you not to feel sorry for me. I know how it is with you, but I want you to feel glad God is taking me out of my misery and suffering. I feel that my soul is safe from all sin and sorrow. "God is above the devil. His will be done and not mine. If it is His will then I go with a smile, nothing can hurt me, for He is with me, and will save me from my enemies; they will be unable to do me any harm. My God is able to deliver me from the bounds of hell and the jaws of death. "He is able to move mighty mountains. So what have I to fear? When you are sick and weared read the 27th Psalms, 'The Lord is my life and my Salvation of whom shall I fear. The Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid?' "Mother, nothing in this world can hurt you if God is with you, nothing can stand against you. I have found out. I have been a bad boy in my time, but God suffered me to fall from my highest seat and see my mistakes and seek His Kingdom; I only regret it didn't happen sooner. Give my love to sis. "Dear heart, you don't know how I feel tonight to think me a baby almost ready to give my life up for taking someone else's." "God moves in a mysterious way. We never know how we will go from this earth. "Mother dear, I don't know what to say or how to turn, but I trust that God will give me strength and stand by me on that morning. I want you to promise me you are going back to church. "Go away with Aunt Sophie until your mind is settled, both boys are men and your work is done." "Mother, I don't know whether I should see you Friday or not. I don't think you can stand the test, it is too great a strain on you, and I don't want to have two at one time; one of us have got to see the other put away. "Well, dear, if I don't write to you any more in this life or you don't see me, remember. God has called me home to Him. "So I close with, May God be with you and watch over you all the days of your life. Yours in life or in death, (Signed) WILLIAM C. ROBINSON."

Pastor SUNDAY SERVICES 9:30 a.m. - Sunday School 9:30 a.m. - Sunday School 9:30 a.m. - Evening Service 9:30 a.m. - Evening Service Alfred Scott Made Director of Regional Essay Contest BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SCOTT IS NAMED ESSAY CONTEST LOCAL DIRECTOR Omega Psi Phi Fraternity to Observe Achievement Week Nov. 12-19 PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—In preparation for the annual observance of Negro Achievement Week, November 12 to 19, inclusive, Attorney Robert D. Baskerville, national director of the project, announces the appointment of the following "keymen" to assist district representatives of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity and local directors of chapter projects; William E. Baugh, Indianapolis, Ind.; E. B. Weatheriness, Brooklyn, N.Y.; Irvin Hoffman, Charleston, S.C.; Richard York Nelson, Ardmore, Pa.; Alfred Scott, Washington, D.C.; Wm. S. Baskerville, Cambridge, Mass.; James Eriller Miller, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Clarence L. Monroe, Atlanta, Ga.; George Billinglia, Ardmore, Pa.; Gilbert Stocks, Houston, Texas.; Francis Dent, Detroit, Mich.; William Pinkett, Denver, Colo. The members of this nation-wide committee will serve as direct representatives of the office of the national director, and will assist local chapters in their geographic areas in arranging programs, securing speakers and the like. The essay contest, one of the high lights of the project, was directed toward attracting the attention of thinking Negroes to our Negro press. The vital importance of the Negro press was emphasized and appreciated by the fact that the director of the project selected annual subscriptions to Negro newspapers and periodicals among the twenty-two awards. The various chapters of the fraternity observe the week of November 12 to 19 by giving educational programs. Many of these programs will be broadcast over local radio stations Nominates New Candidate for Lincoln, John Brown, Honors TOPEKA, Kans.—(ANP)—Negroes in Kansas, instead of continuing to eulogize Abraham Lin- John Brown and various in- duals, should open their eyes and proclaim the worth of a white man in their own midst, according to Elisha Scott, widely known law- yer. Atty. Scott's candidate for fame is Leslie E. Edmonds, white, author of an article on the Negro athlete which appeared in the Topeka Daily Capital last Friday. "I sincerely trust and pray that every Negro in Kansas will read his article," Mr. Scott told The Associated Negro Press, "and use it as an inspiration. "He is a friend which is sincerely proven by the many, many statements made by him in his column covering a period of several years, in favor of our group. He preaches a doctrine of hope and one that—to a suppressed group, should be taken generally, as well as by our athletes." The article which drew Mr. Scott's attention and praise reads as follows: "Progress they may be making in other parts of the country but Kansas, which was once a battle ground for free Negroes, still isn't encouraging them in athletics. Possibly because Kansas teams play both Missouri and Oklahoma teams there seems to be a tendency to discourage Negro participation. Interstate contracts provide specifically that in games with schools from these quasi-southern states Kansas teams will not use Negro players. While Chinese, Hawaiians and Indians may compete with whites at Kansas University and Kansas State, no Negro is admitted to their athletics. Even in the so-called non-contact sports—track and field, baseball, tennis, etc., the Negro must be an onlooker at Manhattan and Lawrence. Down at Pittsburgh Teachers may take part in track but he is barred from football and basketball. Out at Hays Teachers there isn't one in school—or there wasn't recently—so there's no problem. Down at Emporia Teachers the Negro plays wherever he's good enough to beat a boy. McPherson College has no Negroes in school and neither does College of Emporia. Neither school objects to Negro opponents. Baker does not encourage Negro participation in contact sports any longer. Wichita U. and Ottowa U. permit them to take part in all sports. Southwestern has one Negro on its squad but has not played enough to earn a letter. Kansas Wesleyan allows them to play in all sports. There are none at Bethany College. Despite the number of schools where Negro players are permitted, there are so many in which they are barred, it's hard to escape the conclusion that they haven't much opportunity in Kansas sport. They have their rights but no one seems to insist that their rights be respected. Perhaps to the Negro athlete of unusual ability, good advice would be 'Go north or east, young man; go north or east.'" 1 Amphions to Plan for the Season's Activities J. Henry Lewis, organizer and director of the Amphions announce that the season's program of activities will be decided upon at a meeting today (Thur 'ay, Nov. 2.) This is the forty-second year of continuous existence of this organization and the public will give their initial appearance a cordial welcome. Leon J. Leonard is assistant manager. ICKES TO DISCUSS NEGRO EDUCATION Secretary of Interior to Broadcast on Nation- Wide Hookup Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, on Monday, November 6, from 4:30 to 5 p.m., will deliver an address on Negro education. The speech, to be broadcast over the National Broadcasting Company's nation-wide blue network, will feature the fourth annual radio program on Negro education sponsored by the Federal Office of Education during American Education Week. Secretary Ickes will be introduced by Dr. George F. Zook, United States Commissioner of Education, who will speak on certain phases of Negro education. Dr. Ambrose Caliver, Federal Office of Education specialist in the education of Negroes, who is directing arrangements for the American Education Week program, will discuss briefly the relation of the Federal Emergency aids to Negro schools. Music for the program will be furnished by the boys' and girls' glee clubs of Armstrong High School, under the respective direction of E. R. Amos and Mrs. E. P. Webster. Dean D. O. W. Holmes of Howard University College of Education will be master of ceremonies. Uganda Population Drops from Five to Three Million Natives UGANDA, Africa.—Throughout the British protectorate of Uganda—an African country as large as the states of Virginia, West Virginia and North and South Carolina combined—there are twenty village hospitals completely manned by natives who have been trained in the arts of healing and mid-wifery, according to Dr. A. T. Schofield, white, principal of the famous Mongo Hospital Medical School at Kampala. Dr. Schofield, graduate of Cambridge University, England, and a medical missionary in Uganda for the past ten years, is making his first visit to America in order to study Negro education and public health activities at first hand. Uganda's population has dropped from five million to three millions since the country was opened forty years ago. However, largely as a result of the work of the Mongo Hospital Medical School in the training of medical assistants, nurses and mid-wives, and the village hospitals in handling the medical cases, the high mortality of the country has been checked.

Planning Nation-wide Observance of 25th Anniversary FIRESTONETELLSOF FINANCIAL AID IN LIBERIA FIRESTONETELLSOF FINANCIAL AID IN LIBERIA Claims that Natives Were Taught Trades, and Better Citizenship GENEVA, Switzer' and—(ANP) —In a statement submitted recently to the committee on Liberia of the Council of the League of Nations, Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., submitted the following record of financial advances made by the Firestone company in the promotion of various objects in the West African republic: "Up to the present time we have invested more than 88,000,000 in Liberia and we have cleared and planted to rubber 53,087 acres on which there are approximately ten million rubber trees ranging in age from one to seven years. In due course a large proportion of these trees will be ready for tapping. "In the interests of health and sanitation we donated $20,000, to Harvard School of Tropical Medicine to aid in a search expedition in 1926 headed by Dr. Richard P. Strong, of the Harvard School of Tropical Medicine and seven fellow-scientists, which made an extensive medical and biological survey of Liberia resulting in the most complete records yet compiled of the medical and social history of the people of Liberia and of all forms of life in West Africa. "A hospital has been erected at a cost of $56,000 and since our entry into Liberia we have spent an additional $200,000, in medical treatment resulting in greatly improved health for many thousands of Liberian people. Fever Serum Sought "In 1927 a gift of $5,000 was made to the Harvard School of Tropical Medicine for the investigation of a preventive serum for yellow fever by Dr. A. E. Sellars. "We have contributed $8,500 for Next Hearing in Berwyn School Case November PHILADELPHIA—Hearing on the petitions in the famous Berwyn school case which seek to compel the state attorney general to institute mandanus proceedings against the township school boards will be held Monday, November 6 at Harrisburg, according to Raymond Pace Alexander, attorney for the parents and the N.A.A.C.P. Attorney General William Schnader has filed motions to quash the petitions and arguments will be heard by the court. Mr. Alexander is contending the attorney general should institute mandamus proceedings against the school boards, forcing them to admit more than 200 children to the new school from which they were barred in September, 1932. A series of legal moves throughout the school year of 1932-33, with frequent delays, kept the children out of school. The Bryn Mawr branch of the N.A.A.C.P., which had been conducting the fight for the parents by itself, recently turned over the case to the national office of the N.A.A.C.P., in New York. Tuesday night a conference was held at Haverford, Pa. between branch officers, parents, Mr. Alexander and Roy Wilkins, of New York, assistant secretary of the 一 NEW YORK-On February 1, next year, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will complete its 25th year. It is planned to celebrate the achievements of the association from coast to coast and from lakes to gulf. Not only N.A.A.C.P. branches but all other organizations, secular and religious, are requested to take a part in this celebration, which will aim not only to recognize the work done in the last twenty-five years, but also to start the association off on the harder and greater work of the incoming quarter-century. For that reason it is planned to make the association a 'birthday gift, to be shared in by every community and organization, whether there be a local branch in such places or not. This gift for each community and organization is to be a sum equal to one cent a head for each Negro of the population of such community, and one cent a head, of course, for each member of every organization, and for each an anthropological survey by Dr. George Schwab, of Peabody Museum of Harvard University which has resulted in an invaluable addition to the knowledge of the world regarding the background of the people of Liberia. In addition, we have spent approximately $25,000 on a motion picture expedition to Liberia, a large part of which forms a perpetual living record of the life and customs of the people of Liberia of this period. "We have donated $4,500 to the Yale School of Forestry to investigate and classify the woods of Liberia. "We have imported from the Far East and established in Liberia the highest yielding rubber stock in the world. "In order to provide reliable communications between Liberia, the United States and other countries we have established at a cost of $30,000, public radio service. "To help the natives of Liberia learn trades and become more useful citizens we established and operated a trade school and farm at a cost of $10,000, and retained the services of a famous German philologist for the preparation and publication of a grammar of the leading native language of Liberia, thereby putting this language into written form for the first time. "We undertook to provide Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, with a harbour and later, when it was found not practicable, we absorbed a loss of $115,000, sparing Liberia all expenses in connection with the undertaking. "We have expended $275,000 in the construction of, and maintenance of 125 miles of road within our plantations and in addition have contributed $65,000 to the extension and bettermen of Government roads, which has materially aided the development of the interior of the country." SENTENCES SLAYERS OF C. LINESE MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Roland Batson, Lucullus Lee and Clarence Pruitt were found guilty by a jury Tuesday night of the murder of Joe Tong, Chinese merchant. Batson, who fired the shot, was sentenced to life imprisonment. Lee and Pruitt were given sentences of not more than 25 years each. Col Segregations Jurt Action New Jersey School Cases Are Dismissed By Court MONTCLAIR, N. J.—Truancy charges against five colored parents of children in Montclair schools were dismissed here Tuesday night in Recorder's court on the motion of W. P. Allen, acting for the Montclair branch of the N.A.A.C.P. Mr. Allen contended the charges against the parents were based on hearsaay that their children were not in school. No records of truancy were produced by the city school attorney. Mr. Allen objected further to the way in which the complaints were drawn. The city said new papers would be drawn and the case begun again. Abraham L. Sepenuk, of Jersey City, a brilliant young attorney, who has offered his aid to the N.A.A.C.P. in several other New Jersey cases, was associated with Mr. Allen. The Montclair action has grown out of attempts by the school board to concentrate colored children in one school regardless of school district boundaries. association. Mr. Alexander announced his further plans and expressed satisfaction that the national office of the N.A.A.C.P. was to be active in the case. ing Nation-wide 55th Anniversary Special Coast to Coast Appeal ing on February 1st t Year member of the families represented in the membership. A colored man with a family of five can pay for all of them by contributing five cents to the local N.A.A.C.P. Quarter Century Committee. But if he contributes one dollar he will pay for poorer families who cannot contribute. Every community and organization is requested to organize a committee for this purpose and to send the names and addresses of the officers of the committee to William Pickens, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. The association's record of fight against lynching alone would justify all the recognition it may now receive. In the ten years preceding the organization of the association the number of lynchings was 924, while in the last ten years of the work of the association the number was 182. That is quite a saving in human life, aside from the savings against the humiliation of Negro Americans and the savings against the degradation of American civilization. Gossip of the Movie Lots By HARRY LEVETTE HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Starting a picture on its very first day of shooting is considered unusually good luck by the atmosphere players of cinema-land. So four of us felt a week ago when called for the first day's shooting of "The Cross Country Cruise." The new feature talkie is being made at First National Universal Studio. Lew Ayers is the star with Jane Knight opposite. Ed Buzzer is directing, the fortunate four who began at the beginning are John Bland, Martin Turner, Elmer Fain, and "Your movie gossiper, Harry Levette." We worked all week, including Friday the 13th, which had everybody expecting anything unpleasant to happen. But it didn't, and we made more footage and quicker set-ups than on any other day. Freddie Franks is first assistant director and handles this important work very canably. Miss June Knight and Arnotta, famous depictor of Italian types, head a list of featured players well known to the silver screen. Martin Turner, a veteran of the silent films, has a bit with Miss Knight as a red-cap. Etta Moten, beautiful, talented concert and stage artist, former star of Zombie, whose fair complexion is all that has prevented her from sweeping more rapidly into motion picture fame has finally fitted into a part that gives her an opportunity to show her great genius. It is that of a glamorous exotic South American senorita in "Flying Down the Rio," rapidly nearing completion at R.K.O. studio with Fred Astaire, star. "I wish I had 50 more like her," rapturously exclaimed Thornton Freeland as he watched her going through the part and listened to the rich mellow, fluent tones of her voice as she sang the song she has in the big picture feature. Miss Moten not only is a real artist, but has kept her connections in church work in the atmosphere of which she was reared back in Missouri, where her father is a minister. She frequently supervises recitals and musical programs for various churches. Although her voice has been heard in pictures ghosting for other actresses, she has not had a break before such as the one this new feature will give her. As she photographs a little too light for regular Negro parts, she will probably be cast in subsequent pictures in Oriental or Spanish parts of the type of most all of those in which Noble Johnson works. * * * * Clarence Muse just returned from location in "Fury of the Jungle," for Columbia studio.

To the contrary the Club Alabama, formerly the Apex cabaret, and still operated as one, though named the Alabama Beer Garden, is drawing larger and larger crowds. A good floor show, a classy band that is on the at, every afternoon and plenty of dancing is drawing more than the sude. The "River Cabin," formerly the old "Jockey Club" cabaret is also doing fairly well because of the dancing. Other gardens sprung up like mushrooms following that memorable day, April 7, when the old 4 per cent started flowing. Among those opened were the "All Nations," later renamed "Florence Mills," the "Pink Elephant," the "Sawdust Inn," and the "Savoy." NEGRO TEACHERS LEAD IN EIGHT U.S. PROFESSIONS NEGRO TEACHERS LEAD IN EIGHT U.S. PROFESSIONS District of Columbia Has 1,303; Maryland, 1,555, and Virginia, 3,866 The distribution of the total Negro population of 11,891,143 in the eight professions in which they are chiefly engaged has just been announced by the Bureau of Census from compilations base upon the census of 1930. There are according to the report: 54,439 school teachers; 25,034 clergymen; 10,583 musicians and teachers of music; 5,728 trained nurses; 3,805 physicians and surgeons; 2,146 college presidents and professors; 1,746 dentists, and 1,230 lawyers, judges, and justices. There was one school teacher to teach 218 persons. The greatest number of teachers was reported for North Carolina, which ranks fourth in colored population. For each clergyman there were 475 persons; 1,124 persons per musician and teacher of music, are 2,076 for each trained nurse. For the 3,805 physicians and surgeons there was an average of 3,125 persons, however, nearly 40 per cent of the physician were located in seven Northern states, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania. Chols Seys Mr. Chols Starting down by the old Casino we see Harold Reynolds wondering where his car and his pal can be. You see he sent his pal to Alexandria after one of his shebas and put five gallons of gas in the car, and now he cannot find the car, the girl, or the pal. But don't worry, son, will they return as soon as the gas gives out. And now for the news of the Zonta Girls. It's out. It's a tack dance. So save your rags, keep 'em until December 8, at Murray Casino, and hear Bill Hester play with his Ten Little Pigs. I'm wrong, I mean play the Ten Little Pigs. Will some kind reader of this column send an old stocking top to the social secretary of the B.W.C.C. to hold his locks down, 'cause the storm and strife came in all unexpected last Thursday night and the dear boy's hair stood straight up, and when he left it was still standing. Dear Student: I am not a chemist, but I think H. 2 0 stands for bootleg whiskey; but you might ask Beans, he knows. Dear Mr. Chols: Will you tell me in your column just where the Pilgrims landed? Signed, Stupid. Dear Stupid: I think they landed on the ground. If you would like to know the dance hall situation in Washington, here it is. My best illustration. You got a car and no gas; I got gas and no car. P.S.—A hint to the wise is sufficient. Laugh that off. Send in your questions to Mr. Chols, and he will answer them for you. And now the secret am out, dear reader, concerning the reason Bro. Leak pulled a run out on the Bluebirds. It is because he am now living in his new house and he said he had a hard time getting the first month's rent. So for the next thirty days you will find him at 1412 Florida Avenue, Northwest. Bill collectors, please notice. Did you know that 'tis a hard winter when one wolf eats another; and that you should beware of the man that does not talk and the dog that does not bark; and that hope is the dream of the man that is awake; and that if you would know the value of money, borrow some; and that if you are hungry, no bread is bad; and that the best mirow is an old friend; and that money is a good servant, but a bad master; and that love and smoke cannot be hidden; and that fools make feast and wise men eat them; and that we are all fools, we only differ in degrees; and that we are all Adam's children, silk makes the difference; and that I ain't got no silk, so I'll be seeing you. People, Measures, and Things By E. W. BAKER The powers that he have been kind enough to ask me to join the ranks of the so-called columnists and do some weekly ramblings. Now, I have been told that I could write about practically anything under my own name. I have a sneaking feeling, however, that the latter was planned so that it would be easier for some reader to know exactly who to bawl out, or what to put on the spot when I trod on his or her feet. The request he gave me is a big one and I start out wondering whether I have been presented with a great opportunity, or whether I'm being coaxed into water so deep that I'll never be able to wade back out. I appreciate the opportunity, but it is going to take time to tell if I am a good prophet or not. As a matter of getting acquainted, I volunteer the information that during my newspaper career, since 1922, I have tried to develop into a good reporter. I've not encroached upon the editors or the columnists. With a background of two years spent in teaching, and the advantages of contacts I have made in a secretarial and reportorial capacity, traveling from the Pacific to the Atlantic, I'm egotist enough to believe that I will at least equal some of the junk I have read. The torics of the column shall not be drawn from any particular field. I want it to represent a cross section of opinion, tell some people some things they ought to know, or will be interested to know. I could go on indefinitely telling about plans and ideals, but it will be more interesting to work them out as we go along. I am not a theorist. I am not going to try to mould public thought, only disturb it. I shall rely very greatly upon the aid of my wide circle of competent friends to assist me in stimulating interest in this endeavor. I want any and all readers to write me, casting me a bouquet or burling a brick in my direction, as the occasion demands. In my reportorial capacity, numerous persons have approached me with problems and ideas that served to keep me from getting lonesome. It would be pleasing to me to make these thoughts a part of this contribution. Write me about your big ideas, your successes, your plans that fail, your troubles, about anything you think is worth while. MORE EDUCATION NEEDED I have a pet peeve which I'm going to explode about soon. It is the situation which tends to give rise to the popular sentiment that any oarned fool can run a newspaper or write a story, or that most any high school miss is capable of giving instruction in newspaper work. Newspapermen themselves are responsible. They are too easy, too tolerant. If they placed a value on themselves as high as that of the doctors and lawyers and demanded reasonable qualifications of workers, there would be a greater public respect. It takes just as many years of hard work and as much expense to develop newspaper ability as it does to develop professional ability in any line. More later. CRITICS There are high school and college critics who take particular delight in sorting out horrible examples of the use of English in the newspapers. True, the mistakes are there and some of them are horrible. I wonder if these critics ever stop to think that we have to demand upon the schools to teach English for us? If journalism teachers would stop trying to teach all the details of producing a paper and concentrate on some of the fundamentals, how much better it would be. COMPLIMENTARY If blamed for printing crime news, the papers should feel complimented by the fact that that public appears to recognize them as having most influence on public welfare, notwithstanding certain immoral magazines and certain crime stories over the radio. A FIZZLE What at first appeared to be a gory murder story fizzled out one evening last week and proved to be nothing but a little affair between a fair maid and her boy friend. A phone tip sent out a newshound looking for a bloody-faced woman, who might be already dead. Arriving on the scene, the reporter questioned about the murder. "Murder? Her boy friend tried to kiss her and bit her lip," came a by-stander's reply. She didn't swear out a warrant because she "loved him too much." Nothing has appeared in print yet regarding the local business man who returned from the Century of Progress to find that his wife had secured an abode in the Claremont Apartments, Second and W Streets. They had appeared so happy. Here's hoping that a reconciliation will be effected. A good divorce story was spilled recently when a prominent couple thought it over after talking it over with an attorney.

H OUR MUSIC By Mrs. Harriet EDITOR'S NOTE—Herewith The Tribune presents an interesting article on the role of the Washington public school, whom we trust we will have as a weekly contributor to our columns. Of the late Capain Nathan Bonaparte Marshall, is president of the Washington Conservatory of Music and School of Expression, and for many years a music in the Washington public schools. The Violin We read in a history of Russian music, these lines: "The Russian musical culture and traditions are being desenimated in America. The Russian Jew in the United States is raising an art which subsequently will be classed in history not as Russian music or even Jewish, but American." If the Russians who reside in this country thus feel the importance of stamping their racial expression upon American music, how should the colored American feel? True art has no color line. Enthusiastic admirers of our music who know the wealth of musical material of Africa and the Southland, have prophesied that its development will produce an American music, which will express our national life in new rhythms and melodies of touching beauty. It is therefore necessary for parents to know music values in the way of instruments and teachers, in order that their children may inherit all that is necessary to contribute to this great future music. Next to the human voice in its ability to translate the immost feelings of the soul is the violin. Its tones produce a responding vibration within, of joy or sadness, at times exhilarating the heartbeat and firing the ambitious soul with lofty ideals. The great master violin makers, who have given to the world the Amati, the Stainer, the Stradiva- and professors; 70 dentists. The figures for Maryland were: 1,555 teachers; 545 clergymen; 294 musicians and teachers of music; 159 trained nurses; 100 physicians and surgeons; 34 dentists; 33 lawyers, judges, and justices; 30 college presidents and professors. The Virginia distribution follows: 3,866 teachers; 1,173 clergymen; 356 trained nurses; 229 musicians and teachers of music; 164 physicians and surgeons, 149 college presidents and professors; 62 dentists, and 57 lawyers, judges, and justices.

IC LESSON at Gibbs Marshall rius, the Guarrierius, and the Sarasate have produced a wonderful instrument, the mechanical excellence of which has given it high rank among the stringed instruments. It lends itself as no other to the most skillful execution and soulful interpretations. The descendants of Africa have not been slow in achieving renown as skillful players on this instrument. George Augustus Bridge tower, a mulatto violinist, had the honor of playing the Kreutzer Sonata in Vienna with its composer, the great master Beethoven. The West Indians gave us Chevalier de Saint-George, famous violinist and composer; and Brindes d'Sales, court violinist to the king of Spain. Cuba may well be proud of Joseph White, who was court violinist to the Emperor of Brazil and professor in the Paris Conservatory. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the great composer and violinist of England, was an inspiration to our American group of pioneer violinists of high rank. Joseph Douglass, of Washington, D.C., grandson of the Honorable Frederick Douglas; Clarence Cameron White, violin virtuoso and composer; Felix Fowler Weir, who won a diamond medal at the Chicago Musical College, and who studied in Leipzig, now teaching in Washington; Mr. Kemper Harreld, of the Chicago College of Music, who studied in Burlin; the late David L. Martin, the founder of the Martin Smith School of New York City; and Mr. Edwin F. Hill, violinist and teacher of Philadelphia, are prominent in this group and are followed by a number of gifted young artists who will no doubt build on the foundation already laid, a reputation that will redown to the credit of all peoples of African descent. 4 D b ( ) ff 1 1 ] t C ] \ \ 1 ] 1 gt C ti ti — ee ee a eae eee eee ee ee ee eee . : See | te — . ° f Vi Severance of Athletic Relations|| Che Amoueed in|i| 7 Qoking ’em Over -|| Deresion Cancels, Extra Point Margin of Victory . - .

My dear Mr. Johnson: Tt is our feeling at Dunbar that the athletic contests be- tween the Howard High School and the Dunbar High School are not productive of the spirit of good fellowship and fine sportsmanship which are two of the aims of such activities, Because of this condition I am advising our Athletic Board not to schedule any more games between these two schools this year and to cancel any ‘which may have been scheduled. Very truly yours, (Signed) WALTER L. SMITH, Principal. That svch action on the part. of the local school was forthcoming was hinted when C, L. Pindert hughes, head coach of football, ad- mitted’ in an interview with’ the Tribune, shortly after the game, that he intended to recommend a move of this nature. He insisted, however, that his recommendation would be mere formality inasmuch as his principal and other mem- ders of the Dunbar Athletic Board ‘were present and witnessed the game and the display of what was considered by them poor sports- manship on the part of the visit- ing Howard players and officials. Following a game of continued heckling of Officials Jackson, Con- tee and Drew, the Wilmington players left: the field with less than a minute to play, Principal George Johnson, of the Howard High School, led his student-players off the field and accepted a forfeit penalty. He had threatened such action earlier in the game, but up- ‘on reconsidering, withdrew to the sidelines and, along with other Visiting rooters, openly criticized the work of the three arbiters, Reporters sought to have Mr. Smith indicate what further action he anticipated, but the Dunbar head refused, contending that he felt the courtesy of dealing with the newspapers only after he had communicated with his Wilmington colleague was no more than his duty, MANAGERS OF D.C FOOTBALL TEAMS, ATTENTION Letters to the managers of the Northeast Football Team and to the St. Cyprian Football Team are in the hancs of the Sports Editor of the Washingion Tribune. They come from E, J. Welch, Deputy Superintendent of the D. C. Penal Institution at Lorton, Va.

Smith, principal of the school, The transfer of the responsi- bilities of coaching the basket- ball team from Frank Perkins, teacher of history, to P. L. Jacobs, instructor in physical education, was the shift which took place on order of the Dun- bar head among the five major teams. * Perkins will, however, retain his job as coach of the Poet tennis team, Other assignments include: Pinderhughes—football and track; Jacobs—baseball and basketball, The 'shift was made, accord- ing to Mr; 4Smith, to relieve Mr, Perkins, who is an academic teacher, from one of the two extra-curricular activities to which he had previously been assigned. MINER COLLEGERS QUTPLAY CHEYNEY INST, ELEVEN Playing in Cheyney territory throughout most of the game, the Miner Teachers’ College eleven made the best of a lone touchdown to continue its winning ways, at the Walker Stadium, lust Saturday afternoon. The final score was 6-0. A fumble by Hightower, visiting quarterback, in the second quarter paved the way for the locals’ score. McNeill, left. guard of the Miner team, pounced on the ball as it lay free on the Cheyney 15-yard line, Two screened line-bucks, with Tig- nor, local signal-caller carrying the ball, with a 4-vard off-tackle gain by Weaver sandwiched between, put the ball over. Mitchell's placement attempt for the extra point was blocked. A 22-vard sprint” around the Teachers’ right end by Moore in the third quarter placed the ball on the local 28-yard marker for the ‘only time in the first three periods ‘that the invaders were able to get far into Miner territory. In the waining minutes of the fourth quarter, however, Cheyney, with Moore and Brown leading the attack, carried the play to the local defenders, As the whistle blew to end the game the pigskin was on the Miner 1-yard line, where it had been placed following a series of successful forward passes and a penalty for interference with a would-be pass tecelver FRIDGE CHER SNORE Y: Bearfield ......1.E......

But the sensational ending and the unusual length of the tussle was only one of the thrills, Sat- shell Paige, the greatest colored pitcher in ‘the Eastern Negro leagues struck out 18 men! There was the thrill of a life time. For the masterful hurling of the tall, speedy, tricky Satchell was a sight to behold.

In my humble estimation, therefore, it is quite an appropriate expression “a team reflects the spirit of its coach.” Hurt is alert, energetic; Verdel! is sociable, affable; Martin is am- hitious, smart; Westmoreland is aggressive, fractious; Pinderhughes is impassive, determined.

A hard loser is “yellow.” Ordinarily one who is “yellow” is outlawed by athletes and indi- viduals connected with athletics. A “yellow” is looked upon with un- veserved anticipathy, He is held as undeserving of respect, He is blackguarded, disgraced, But in the case of the Wilmington, Delaware, high school boys. the element of sympathy should enter. ‘These lads, endowed with the natural amount of cieanness-of-spirit which characterizes sports-loving youth, find themselves affected by the influence of rotten leaders, They: ave poor sports because they are taught that that is the correct atti- tude.

But there is one thing he has not learned—his place, In’all his text- book years he failed to grasp the meaning of the age-old maxim, “stay in your, place.” His position is a responsible one, Tt demands respect, But. when 2 principal (who unquestionably should occupy a seat in the stands at all athletic exhibitions) abandons his cloak of dignity to walk onto a field and openly challenge the honcsty and integrity of men placed there to protect the character of the game, he deserves, earns and gets the unadulterated disrespect of all clean-thinking witnesses, Bither utter disregard for rules or a desire to win at any cost was the feature which obviously déminated the training metliods of the Wilmington coach. Seven 15-yard penalties were inflicted in the first two quarters. ‘The rule-infractions included clipping, roughness and illegal use of the hands on the offense. The prevailing spirit behind this type of play can be easily discerned, Last year, Douglass High School officials were required to send to Washington to obtain a referee that was satisfactory to the Dela- ware school before the latter would go to Baltimore for a scheduled South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference game. Howard sus- pected that it would be “robbed,” and admitted it, In Wilmington, it is said, arbiters overlook rule encroachments by Howard players. In other cities these wrong-doings are penalized. ‘As a consequence the feeling is general that Howard is going to be treated unjustly when it visits.

M. Ee Federal Street VELLOWJAGKETS TRIM ROAMERS The Washington Ycllovjackets invaded Alexandria, Va., last Sun- day afternoon and returned tri- ‘umphant over the strong Roamer ‘team of that city. ‘The jousting ground was Bag- ‘gett Stadium, and before a crowd ‘of approximately 1,000 fans, the "Jackets proved beyond a doubt that their claim to supremacy was a just one, piling up a score of 33 to 7. Taking the ball in midfield on downs, two minutes after kicking off to the Roamers, the Yellowjack- ets uncoiled their stings and punch- ed their way to a touchdown with- out losing the ball. Big Red Fields, who had figured greatly in the pow- er drive to the goal line, went over far the tally. Before the half was called, Big Al Barnes made a trip into the end zone to tally, bringing the score to 20 to 0 as the first half ended. Opening the second half, the vis- itors again began to-gain ground at will until Fields plowed across for six other points and Barnes plowed right behind him to add the extra point boosting the Yellow- jacket lead to 27. That touchdown Seemed to awaken the Roamers, and they displayed a passing at- tack that soon scored for them, the forward wall of the visitors not be- ing able to break through to the passer and the Jacket secondary defense completely flat-footed so far as stopping the receivers were concerned. Unfortunately for the Roamers, their mainstay, Big Scott, was not in the line-up. Perhaps it will be possible to match these two teams for a return game in Washington in the near future, possibly Thanks- giving, or some other time when the Roamers can present their full Renda?

TWO TOUCHDOWNS NSECOKD HAL BAT DOUGLAS While Dunbar was trouncing Howard High, of Annapolis ,7 to 0 Jack Young's Cardozo eleven was busily engaged in defeating Doug- lass High, of Baltimore, on the lat- ter’s field’ by the score, 12 to 0, Cardozo rallied in the third quar- ter after battling only throuzhout the first half of the game. Abbie Spells, left-end for the Clerks, snagged a Douglass pass on Car- dozo’s ten-yard line and ran past the entire Douglass team, only to be overtaken on the Douglass three-yard line. The Douglass line held as firm as a brick wall and in four attempts to break or scale it the purple and whites failed four times. Milton Robinson, Cardozo full- back, went to the aid of his team- mates, and made @ beautiful run around right end to score the first touchdown of the game, The visi- tors’ stands of about 65 to 75 en- thusiastic student’, went wild with joy. The Clerks’ attempt to rush the ball over for the extra point failed, thus ending the quarter with the score 6 to 0. At the beginning of the last quarter, neither team seemed to get the advantage. Again Robinson, with the aid of good interference, made another spectacular end-run, A Cardozo pass over the goal line was broken up. Douglass tried fruitlessly to score on forward passes and were still doing so when the whistle ended the game. Final score, Cardozo, 12; Douglass, 0. Cardozo now has three victories to one defeat and two more games to play, Dunbar and Armstrong, at the Walker Stadium.

We Are Honest 1414 Lombard Street 2nd Floor Front Philadelphia, Pa, Fe Ee eee a Ne ete elusive Richardson had scampered across the goal line with the ball tucked between his arms for the only Yellowjacket touchdown, the first scored against a Bison eleven in three years. A mass of Howard players tackled the plunging Rich- ardson as he crossed the last chalk mark and the West Virginia back fumbled. Palmer, Bison guard, re- covered the oval on the Bison's own three-yard mark. A protest. from Howard players, who claimed that Richardson had not crossed the goal line when he fumbled went to no avail, as Referee W. L. Kean ruled a touchdown, Richardson, who had been a thorn in the side of the Bisons all day, then kicked [the ‘goal for the extra point that won the game. Ware Scores for Bisons Howard's lone touchdown came early in the second period after a sustained drive from midfield had placed the pigskin on the four-yard line from where Showboat Ware plunged through center for the score. Joe Sewell’s attempted kick for the extra point was blocked. During the early stages of the game the Bisons easily outplayed the Yellowjackets, three times be- ing within the shadow of the goal posts, However, during the second half the reverse was in order with the Yellowjackets, largely through the efforts of Mooye, Watson ad Richardson, getting’ within ten yards of Howard’s goal on three ‘occasions, ‘Once the Bisen forward wall held for downs on the eight-yard lines again it held on the one-yard line; and in the fourth period with a first down and goal to go for the Yellowjackets, the Bisons showed their real power when they held for downs on the one-foot line. Upon gaining possession of the ball, Ber- ry Williams skirted right end for 24 yards to put the Howardites out of danger. A desperate forward passing at tack in the closing minutes of the battle failed to gain anything for the Bisons and the game. ended with the ball in possession of the Yellowjackets on the Bison's 24- yard line, Tow Walker, center, who played throughout the game with an in- juved shoulder; Patterson and Gai- finer, tackles; Sowell and Wares backfield aces, played best for the Bisons, while Richardson, Watson, Moore, and Stewart were the big guns for the Yellowjackets. thas We VERGE ree.

NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SPORTING NEWS Three of the 1933 Blue and White Standard Bearers 25 Knoxville First to Score on Tuskegee Machine By ROBERT D. EDWARDS KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—A valiant, fighting group of Knoxville College grid men was swept before the onslaught of Coach Abbot's giants from Tuskegee Saturday in a game filled with spectacular plays, and dazzling exhibitions of charging and blocking. The score was 37-6 thus making the Knoxville Bulldogs the first team to cross the Tuskegee goal line this year, the touchdown being scored on a long pass in the final minutes of play. Greatly out-weighed man for man in both backfield and line the Bulldogs were no match for the devastating line plunges and vicious off-tackle slices of the Tigers. But the Knoxville team in the face of such odds fought till the final whistle. A spirited drive in the closing minutes of the game and a pretty pass of 30 yards from Brown to Jefferson who cleverly eluded Tuskegee's safety man and ran 30 yards, gave Knoxville her only score of the game. ANACOSTIA BEATEN IN LAST QUARTER ANACOSTIA BEATEN IN LAST QUARTER The Ebenezer football team garnered its third straight victory of the season, Sunday, when it downed the speedy Anacostia team, 14-0, on the Seaton Park gridiron. The game put the Sneezers in a tie for the lead in the Washington Sandlot Football League. After battling in its own territory for most of the first three quarters, the Southeasterners came to life in the final period and put across two touchdowns. Late in the game, Pop George downed Ashton's punt on the Anacostia three-yard line. Anacostia's attempt to punt from behind the goal line was blocked and Simms grabbed it for a touchdown. Brown went through tackle for the extra point, making the score 7-0. Finley's interception of one of Mason's desperate heaves paved the way for the second Sneezer score a few minutes later. Thompson, Sneezer quarterback, tossed an aerial to Martin, who made a leaping catch of the ball and fell across the goal for a touchdown. The play drew protests from the Anacostia team, however, the game was continued and the Sneezers added the extra point to bring the total to 14. Dyson, Ford and Simms were the powers in the Sneezers' line, while Brown, Thompson and Lidsay did the majority of the ball toting for the winners. Mason was the big gun in the losers' backfield. Game Florida Aggies Drop 32-6 Verdict to Hornets MONTGOMERY, Ala.—With unrelenting regularity, the Black and Gold Warriors of Alabama State surged over the goal of the game but helpless Florida A. & M. Rattlesnakes in every period t4 romp away with a 23-6 victory, thus submitting them to a rude shock in their first defeat of the season. The game was replete with thrills from start to finish with Bama back unloosening ruthless power that ran up 21 first downs for a gain of 403 yards, against 10 first downs and 86 yards for Florida. The 'Hornets added 40 yards on two passes against 70 yards on six passes by the Rattlesnakes. The visitors' kickers completely outclasses the Staters with an average of 46 yards to their 38, while in penalties sustained the Hornets lost 85 yards to the Snakes' 29. MORGAN SMOTH'RS BLUEFIELD IN 50-0 VICTORY Barrage of Touchdowns Literally Snows Virginians Under BALTIMORE, Md. — Filing up one of the largest scores of their football career, the Morgan Bears battered Coach Jefferson's "Big Blues" into unprecedented defeat of 60 to 0 on the Morgan Athletic Field, Saturday. The Blues opened the game with a defense that held the Bears to a single score in the first period and gave all evidences of displaying a nip-and-tuck battle. Morgan's initial score followed a lateral, Conrad to Wilson to Troupe, which placed the ball on the Blues' 36-yard marker, and on the next play Conrad skirted right end for the touchdown. The extra point was missed. The Blues were successful in checking another Morgan threat to score in the period when they took the ball on downs on their own 12-yard strine. The Bears began their march to victory and definitely established their supremacy in the second period. An attack that couldn't be stopped opened the path for repeated long gains by Sturgis, Wilson, Conrad and Troupe. Morgan presented one of the finest displays of offensive work that could be witnessed. A consistent blocking campaign by the line and well-timed interference on every play enabled Morgan's star backfield to pile up an unexpected score. Drake, Hill, Gibson, Williams and Crawford were among those who starred on the line. Morgan's regular backs were at their best and Simpson, Gibbs and Jordan played well for the Bears' second string backfield. Adams and Smith made the few outstanding exhibitions in Bluefield's backfield, while Carmichael, Thompson and Moss did creditable line work. Bluefield Morgan Thompson . . . L.E. . . .

The Hampton Institute Pirate eleven was the Lion-tamer. On the other hand, Gid Smith's cohorts played the same calibre of football that has already carried them high in the ranks of the 1933 collegiate contenders. Again Richmond, the powerhouse of the Virginian attack, proved the most serious problem for his team's opposition, in spite of the fact that Culler garnered three of the touchdowns in the Hampton total. For Lincoln the work of Johnson, Coleman, and Minns was brilliant in the backfield. Frye, big end, stood out on the line.

BY AGGIES PETERSBURG, Va.—Playing an inspired brand of football, Coach Braux's A.& T. Bulldogs invaded the stronghold of the Virginia State Trojans, last Saturday, and walked away with the victory to the tune of 14 to 0. Although the Trojans succeeded in marching deep into the Bulldogs' territory during the first half, they seemed impotent when within scoring distance, and thus failed to take advantage of scoring chances. Once they advanced to the 3-yard strip, only to lose the ball on a fumble. One must admire the undying courage and fighting spirit of Shagg Courtney, whose running, kicking, and passing were easily the outstanding factors of the game. The pugnancy of Sidney Estes, substitute quarterback, also should come in for honorable mention. His showing in Saturday's game will in all probability win for nim a regular berth on the team.

Pendleton Beginning this week music took the lead over all other activities at the Washington Play Centers, with the coming of Augustus Zanzig, of the National Recreational Association. The first meeting for colored groups will be held Thursday night at 8 o'clock in the Bannner Center at Eighth, and Euclid Streets, Northwest, under the supervision of the Playground Department. A succession of musical rallies is being held throughout the city featuring community sings and demonstration of what music will do in the "new leisure" under the Washington Council of Social Agencies. Mr. Zanzig will speak on Friday, November 10, at the Birney Community Center, which is under the direction of Mrs. Martha Ellis. The event will be the "Family Nite," with chourses from Anacostia and Garfield. Playground groups represent Barry Farms, Cardozo, Payne, and Lincoln will be represented. The programs are designed primarily to encourage music in the home and in small groups, in the community schools, clubs, and church events largely of a social nature. Other organizations which have meetings by this song leader and musical authority of America are the Boy Scouts, Playgrounds, Toc H. Glee Club, Community Center Department Council of Social Agencies, Friendship House, Community Chest Child Society, Federation of Choirs, Girl Reserves of the W.Y.C.A., Arts Club, Jewish Community Center, etc. Pyramid Club Plans Lecture Series The Pyramid Club of the Playground Department met last Saturday night for the purpose of arranging a lecture series in the interest of recreational development during the month of January. Leaders in the recreational field will be secured to deliver papers relating to the field of recreation. Two new members were accepted into the organization at the meeting, namely, T. J. Anderson and Clarence Pendleton. Mr. Anderson is the inspector of playgrounds, while Mr. Pendleton is director at Walker Stadium. The following members were present: Mrs. Florence Matthews, president; Olive Rose, secretary; Nellie Smith, Madge Carey, Goldie Robinson, Helen Capers, Elanthan Early, John Hawkins, Edward Underdown, and Lois Williams. Hallowe'en Parties Numerous Among the play centers having parties over the week-end were Barry Farms, Monroe and Stevens; Monday; Rose Park had a lovely party this Tuesday afternoon, with many kiddies dressed in the usual goblin outfits. Birney and Burville Community Centers had elaborate dances Monda yand Tuesday, respectively, with large crowds attending both affairs. Costume competition was the feature of the Burville Community Center. We may repeal prohibition but we cannot repeal the liquor problem—John D. Rockefeller, Jr. ENTHUSIASM HIGH FOR H.U.-MORGAN GAME TOMORROW Monumental Cityans Prepare for Invasion of Blue and White Machine Just as all roads led to Rome, so will all grid fans find the road that leads to the scene of Baltimore's football classic, the Morgan-Howard Home-coming game, tomorrow (Friday) night. Not until these two rivals meet in Bugle Field's lamp-light arena to continue their ancient feud will the vital question uppermost in the minds of the Baltimore public be settled. Will Morgan maintain her supremacy? Will the Bisons avenge their previous defeats? Sentiment is running high in the Monumental City among the alumni of both institutions and reports have it that the capital city is planning to be represented in large numbers to encourage the Bison in this clash of grid giants. The Bisons have a score to settle that is of long standing. This tacit is creating much enthusiasm among the fans. For the past five years, Morgan has fought viciously and has been able, in most cases, to gain the victory. Since 1928, the rivals have met in four clashes. Two of these ended in scoreless ties and two went to the Bears by a slight margin. Will the Bison again bite the dust or will the Bears go down in defeat? This question, vital in the estimation of every grid fan, will be answered when these two machines of iron man-power tear through the turf and settle for another year the question of Bear-Bison supremacy.

Lamar Chats with Chick By ALVIN A. WEBB IMPRESSION OF HARLEM The writer spent a week's sojourn in the familiar haunts of little old New York and returned last Monday morning with some very definite opinions and impressions of a community that I had not seen for nigh onto three years. Before launching into a treatise regarding these personal reactions, it would be most fitting that I "toss an orchid or two" to my many friends and well wishers who endeavored to make my short visit to New York a most delightful one. So here's an orchid to Mrs. Edna Thomas who very royally wined and dined (and I might add "egg-nogged") my family on Tuesday evening at her residence. Incidentally Mrs. Thomas plays one of the featured parts in that much-talked-of film, "Emperor Jones." Friday night to Miss Lulater Antoine and Mr. Fred Humber at their hide-out in the Spanish "district" of New York-111th Street. The gracefulness of the hostess and the fineness and polish of Mr. Humber provided the necessary combination for an evening of enjoyment and good fellowship. A delightful menu was served that included ice cold beer, salmon salad, chocolate cake, orange blossom cocktails and tea, good old tea, for the abstainers, if any. The only depressing feature of this particular evening resulted in the writer's unsuccessful attempts to win one single game of whist from Mr. Humber and my "whist-expertish, sister, Edna. Well! some day, some kind and generous soul will consent to teach me the rudiments and artistry that are essential to a good game of whist. Sunday, a visit to my cousin's, Mrs. Matilda Ferguson, where that generous soul treated me and mine to a rare treat—a typical West Indian dinner. This dinner consisted of "pound plantain and kallau," chicken, peas and rice, more cocktails and Canada Dry for the testalers, if any. Consequently for the wonderful courtesy and kindness that were extended to me by these Harlemites, I wish to voice my appreciation and thankfulness by tossing to each one of them "the well known bouquet." Most of all though, I was "tickled pink" to see that dear old mother of mine. And now for my impressions—just supposing that you are interested. Without a doubt Harlem, with its 200,000 Negro inhabitants has been heavily hit by the economic depression. I was greatly perturbed on learning of the myriads of colored persons that have been thrown into a disturbing state of unemployment during the last four years. Most pathetic of all is the fact that not a few of these unemployed persons were former classmates of the writer—young men and women, who had made what appeared to be excellent starts i life—high school graduates—and even a sprinkling of college degree holders—all of whom are wailing the same bemoaning tale—"No job—things just don't seem to break for me." One particular apartment house holder that I visited informed me that that apartment house had been the scene of four daring hold-ups in the course of the last two weeks—a striking indication of the desperateness of the average individual's condition. "Buta hungry man will steal." Another unorthodox situation that has been created by the depression is one that finds three-fourths of Harlem's wives "earning the well known bread and butter," while hubbie stays home and performs the regular household duties. This unique situation has been created because of the simple fact that jobs for women are more numerous than those for men in New York City. Hence while Ma goes out to her daily toil and labor, Pa stays home and performs feats in culinary magic, not to mention washing and ironing and taking care of little junior. How the times have changed! And talking about Junior, reminds me that the birth rate scale in Harlem, legitimate and illegitimate has jumped up considerably since 1929. Isn't there some ahi-cient song that runs this way? "The rich are getting richer and the poor are having children." The afternoon lounger on. Seventh Avenue is presented with a daily baby parade on the streets. Said parade usually begins around three o'clock in the afternoon and ends chantily at about five o'clock. On Lenox Avenue between 134th and 135th Streets, the passerbys will also be treated to the unusual snowcicle of men black and white, scanning the racing form results of the day's races with eager anticipation and enthusiasm. The "number" game and the "horse" are the colored man's greatest home in deprived Equestrian. So much has been said and written about the wonderful edifice that has so wonderly been erected in Newton that something also that I would like to mention to the reader is that the edifice is the most beautiful and most beautiful of all the buildings in Newton. The edifice is the most beautiful and most beautiful of all the buildings in Newton. THIRTEEN and are quite eager to advise visitors "to be sure to see the Y before you leave." So you, you and you had better take advantage of their advice and see the Y as soon as you can. You won't regret it. Seemingly, it is the one redeeming features of present-day Harlem. "Well, dèms my sentiments." THEY TELL ME THAT I should inform my readers that the Shaw Night School boasts of a journalism class that has proven to be the mecca for most of Washington's younger journalistic enthusiasts. The embryo writers are William (Afro-American) Steeem, Lawrence J. W. Hayes, Fed. News editor, David Haywood, poet extraordinary just to mention a few. Incidentally this class was the "brain-child" of the writer's, and it was only after several repeated attempts that he was able to have the class organized in the night school. Another one of the students in this ambitious class is Dorothy Hawkins, the little lady with the most musical talking voice in Washington. Instructress is Mrs. Day, erstwhile Howard University teacher of note. You and you have never seen anything similar to the sensational "fan"ance of Sally Rand, but sooner or later some imitative lady of color will exhibit a dance on a similar pattern. And will it knock the customers out on the aisle? There is a rumour out that the Lincoln Colonnade management will feature basketball games and dances at their hall this winter. You may be interested in knowing that all of the larger movie houses in New York are featuring 10 cents morning shows. These houses exhibit the latest releases and the low fare holds good until 1 p.m. each day. Some offer even greater entitlement to the customers by presenting double feature bills of excellent nature. Wonder why Messrs. Byars et al would not experiment with this same idea? Richard (Beau Brummel) Johnson has developed a jaw that bears a peculiar resemblance to the popular Popeye. I must close this chapter. Personals Mrs. Dorothy Brooks of Montclair, N. J., left the city on Sunday for her home in Montclair after a week's stay here as the guest of her uncle and aunt, Mrs. and Mrs. John D. Fisher of 1322 W. Street, Northwest. Mrs. Brooks is the daughter of the late Robert D. Fisher, a former resident of Md. burg. Va. Patrick Toliver, of 4009 Short Road, Northeast, who was seriously injured when struck by an automobile. Saturday, as he was enroute home from La Plata, Md., is recovering at his home. Mrs. Maude James and Mrs. Harriet Burton, of Deanwood, motored to Baltimore, Sunday, and were the guests of Edward "Trummie" Johnson, of 1642 East Monument Street. Mr. Johnson is the trombonist in Buddle Johnson's Plantation Orchestra of Baltimore. Mrs. Anna Jackson is recovering after a recent illness. Dr. Walter Gray Crump of New York City, was in the city last week attending the trustees' meeting at Howard University. On Tuesday, he was the house guest of Dr. and Mrs. F. D. Whitby of 219 Florida Avenue, Northwest. Miss Mary Lillian Stewart will be, mind of honor for Miss Mattie Brown when the latter is married in Philadelphia on Saturday. Miss Stewart lives at 1610 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, and will leave for Philadelphia Friday. Mrs. Ella Mason, of Fifty-third Place, had as dinner guests, Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. James Branison, their son, James, Jr. Levi Branison, and Mrs. Ella Coates. LINCOLN VS.

The Lincoln will be the scene of this offering, which will share the spot with "Too Much Harmony." On T Street Shep Allen presented Chick Webb's band, with Bardu Ali as M. C. Rivers and Brown, song duo, Rowland Holder, master tap dancer; Billie Young, torch singer; the Ristina Banks chorus, Officer Allblack, Arthur Newman, and the old master Garbage Rodgers and his wife, Gladys Mike, rounded out the Howard bill.

The Republic holds forth on Tuesday, and the Lincoln on Thursday—that is, tonight. The Howard is still packing in a full house on both Wednesday and Friday nights. With the Lincoln offering a midnight show on Saturday night, it appears that both houses are to make a bid for the city's late-nite patronage, which methinks will create a bit of a battle. Your Man has few observations to offer on that. I might, however remind you, that the very dashing young Miss Helen Pinn, chorine of the Ristina Banks unit, is the burning heart-throb of John Mills, the genial young basso-profundo of the Mills Brothers.

The Ristina Banks's chorus of able hoofers provides a background for the versatile artists rounding out this bill. Jimmie Lunceford, at the Lincoln, has risen to new heights in his daring new arrangement of his numbers. His band is a much improved unit, as compared with its last time here. "Reds and Struggle," local favorites, are, as usual, good. Gee Gee James, who in private life is Mrs. George Wiltshire, is proving to be better than ever. George, himself, a globe master of ceremonies, is also better. The Five Percolators, Apus Brooks, and Billy Yarbo's "Flying Colors" chorus complete the classy premiere of the Lichtman house.

S. Van Dine's Philco Vance. Not only have they both been playing in Hollywood but they have played in the same studios at the same time and yet never have been cast together before, and by a strange anomaly never actually have met in person before they went on the set for the current production. Although Miss Astor is Powell's leading lady in "The Kennel Murder Case," they do not play the part of screen lovers. Powell, in the role of the screen detective made famous in the novel of S. S. Van Dine, Philco Vance, is not mixed up with any love affairs and he comes in contact with Miss Astor because he is working on the murder mystery and she is one of the suspects. The picture is one of the most baffling mysteries of any of Van Dine's stories with a strange love trangle as the motivating theme of the plot. Stepin Fetchit, the world's laziest man returns to the screen in the comedy "Slow Poke." Manager Harris says this is Fetchit's funniest picture. "THIS DAY AND AGE" BROADWAY OFFERING "This Day and Age," the first great spectacle of modern times by the master of spectacle, Cecil B. DeMille, is coming to the Broadway Theatre, Sunday and Monday, November 5 and 6. This picture announced as a true DeMille epic, reveals the same masterful handling of mobs, the same realistic touches that brought fame to his previous classics, "The Sign of the Cross," "The Ten Commandments," and "The King of Kings." SHEP ALLEN BOASTS OF HOWARD'S REASONABLE PRICES AND SHOWS For the week beginning Saturday, November 4 the Howard presents Butter Beans and Susie in their new musical revue, featuring the girl from the Chicago World's Fair, "Nona," the most famous of all fan dancers, known the country over as the sepia Sally Rand. The dancing beau brummels Pete, Peaches and Duke, the vivacious little Eunice Wilson, Baron Lee and his orchestra and Berty Lou's dancing girls round out this company of fifty people. The screen brings you one of its favorite stars, Irene Dunn, in the famous Sinclair Lewis story "Ann Vickers" supported by Walter Huston. The picture is proclaimed as being more startling than the book. Shep Allen boasts that no such entertainment was ever offered at such reasonable prices here in Washington.

We'll get Howard, too, won't we? What say? The M.T.C.'s, showing fine school spirit, nearly yelled themselves hoarse at the game, Saturday. Norman Atkins, Billy Wormley and Thomas Tibbs were the cheer-leaders. Two "pep" assemblies were held before the game. Maybe that's why the M.T.C.'s made such a good showing. I hear that: The "great" Bowles is slightly taking up with someone with pretty black, bobbed hair. Who is she? This foreign substance, or is it something plates are made of? Guess! There is a "prof." on the hill about whom the "paenies" sing, "He is the sweetest thing." Norma Wilkins has a new crush. A. O. C., now. A starry-eyed girl sat in the bleachers breathlessly watching "Tiggie" cover himself with glory. Oh, boy! Incidently, "Tiggie" and Jack Harlan are about the most popular boys on the campus. A certain young man hung a "Reserve" sign on a certain young girl at the freshman barn dance. You can have me if you want me, but you must be mine alone. There were three boys jibing U. Hyson in the assembly hall one day last week. One even went to the registrar's office to find out her name. Naughty, naughty girl; talking to strange boys. B. Dabney and a fair-haired young man hit it off pretty swell at the freshman dance. Lucky boy—unlucky girl. Tim Irving was being watched by an ex-girl friend. Now, now, no jealousy here! Gene Taylor was out in the floor, shimming with four other—I'll leave it to your imagination. Annie Todd looked bewitching as a "little girl." Can you imagine? Bus Carter, a paenie at Howard, punches the clock at Dunbar at 12:05 every day. Such a scramble to get from Howard to Dunbar in five minutes to see whom? Oh, don't try to fool me. You know. So do I. Spurgean Moss is just about the best thing there is in the eyes of a melancholy freshman who sighs everytime he passes with J. S. Too bad, but love is like that. Every dog has its day, but I agree, some dogs do have two days. A certain young lady of Howard lost her ear ring in a car and wasn't allowed to get it. Teh, teh, teh! Who's afraid of the big bad wolf who hung around the Howard library waiting for "little red ridinghood" in person for Gwendolyn Barrett? A paenie cracked this: A teacher said. "The early bird gets the worm." Student: "Well, who likes worms, anyway?" How brown is that? This reminds me of N. Scurlock. Ask her to tell you the really—oh, "Riley" joke. I hope you can laugh at it. The Winnie Winkle hop. Just the W.W.'s and their boy friends, and about six other couples. Getting exclusive, if you please. The home of Miss Earleen Luckett and Norma Murray. House decorated with baloons; in fact just a W. W. dance. I hear everybody enjoyed themselves. Sharp music! And how! Nothing was lacking; not even "dim lights." Seen at the freshman barn dances: E. Cooper and C. Ford, J. Grant and T. Irving, L. Carter and E. Luckett, G. Barrett and B. Barker, N. Scurlock and G. Burke, P. Leake and B. Moten, E. Robinson and Franklin, J. Jones and E. Evans, H. Montgomery and "Tiggie," H. Pair and J. Evans, P. Percy and M. Brown, E. Dabney and D. Anderson, N. Murray and S. Nelson, M. Smith and F. Aden, M. Lewis and C. Hunter, etc. These are just a few of the many who were there in full attire. The gym was packed, but it was elegant, hilarious, swell and every- thing else. I hear the many echoes, but one question: Why did it end so soon? Blind Man Makes Clock NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana. (ANP) Willie Jackson, 2510 Clara Street, after nine months work, finished Monday, a mantel clock of mahogany and walnut inlay. Jackson is blind. The clock is 32 inches high and 20 inches across the base. It is surmounted by ornamental carving and two carved birds. For many years, before he went blind, Jackson worked as a clock and watch repairer in a factory at Baton Rouge. Later, he repaired furniture and started saving scraps of wood. He said that he had fitted more than 1,000 scraps (squares) of mahogany and walnut into his clock. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1933 ALEXANDRIA NEWS MRS. ALMA P.

Ala—John Smith was found not guilty of the murder of Herbert Cohn by a jury in the circuit court here, Wednesday afternoon. Dunbar as I See It Everyone is still thrilled, simply enraptured over Dunbar's Big Broadcast. Boy, if you could only have heard Maud Brown in her low, husky voice, sing "Shadows On the Swanace," accompanied by Gertrude Wells. Did Gertie heat down on the piano? Ask anybody. Then Margaret Montgomery, imitating Kate Smith, singing "Gypsy Fiddles." Didn't know it could be song that way. Madeline Brown received quite a bit of applause when she, dressed in a clinging gown of nile green, sang "Three's a Crowd." Ask me how many times was she called back. But I haven't mentioned the big thing yet. We actually had a Bing Crosby there in the person of Mr. Billy X, Did he sing "Star Dust?" And, oh boy, how he made every one sit up and take notice when the tune of "I Cover the Waterfront" could be heard throughout the halls. Others on the program included Robert Phone, Cyril Maxwell, and John Lee. I'm telling you, they thrilled us all. Observer Soon Out Gee, am I glad? Soon, and very soon, too, the Dunbar Observer will be carried through the halls by students, rushing to their various sections, to distribute them. You really can't imagine how we've missed our dear old paper. You say it was our fault that it was discontinued? Yes, we realize, shamefully, too, that it was. Now we're willing to do anything to keep that dear old paper in circulation. Students, we need your help. You asked for the paper, now support it! Athletics As result of Dunbar's athletic drive for membership, many students have purchased athletic cards. It was made clear to the students that with the purchase of a ticket, one may be able to witness at least 49 events—basketball games, football games, swimming meets, etc. So you see, a ticket at its cost is really a bargain. Personally, I think that all the new memberships resulted from the excellent rally speech made by Woodrow Derricotte, in an Athletic Association meeting.

Many students, who had never held a racquet before, borrowed one from someone and really showed Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Robinson, and Mrs. Amos that they knew something about the game, even though they hadn't played. We hope to have tennis teams that will make the teams of other schools sit up and take notice. Football Gee! Is Dunbar gaining a record? I believe, yes, that's right. She's won every game she's played. Now, who said Dunbar team was going to be a set-up this year? You'd better hurry and change that opinion. But I guess you have already done so. "Tis true it was a low score, but Dunbar surely did attract plenty of attention. I'll say. That isn't all—Dunbar's out to win every game. Watch out! Fleur de Lis The Fleur de Lis have done something this year, anyway. At least they've made the lower classmen realize that they're the fluer de lis) in charge of locker rooms and must be respected. I've noticed that there's less confusion at the end of lunch period and at the close of school. And, believe it or not, there's been no eating in locker rooms. I guess the poor kids get tired of hearing, "You simply can't go that way—there's no need of nushing." But still they've got to learn. Journalism Class Of course, with the bringing back of the Observer there was reorganized a class of journalism. As usual, Miss Bertha McNeil is the sponsor. Don't be surprised if someone taps you on the shoulder and asks, "What's your hobby? Did you go to the Fair this summer? What's your ambition?" They are only the reporters. The students of the journalism class really intend to make the Observer interesting this year. There will simply be no excuse for your not buying a paper. BITTEN IN BREAST Mrs. Mary Page, 23, of 505 U Street, Northwest, was bitten in the breast, Saturday, by a dog said to belong to Pauline Gaines, of 1824 LeDroit Court, Northwest.

SIXTEEN THOUSANDSDRAWN TO NEGRO HISORY WEEK PROGRAMS Audience Crowd Auditoriums to Hear Artists and Educators By EUGENE DAVIDSON Heralding a veritable renaissance of race consciousness and pride, thousands of people overcrowded the meetings of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and His- Duke Ellington has made a recording for Victor called "Rude Intrude." It promises to join the ranks of "Mood Indigo," and "Sophisticated Lady." Mr. Ellington's newest composition has excited musicians and music critics who have heard it because of its almost radical treatment of the theme—both from the standpoint of rhythm and of harmony. Cab Calloway has also written a new song called "The Lady With the Fan." It was inspired by and dedicated to Sally Rand, who appeared on the same bill with Cab at the Chicago Theatre several weeks ago. Mr. Calloway expects his new song to become as popular as "Minnie the Moocher."

Artists and educators from all parts of the country gave to the annual meeting of the association programs such as have rarely, if ever, been given in Washington. Swept by a wave of race enthusiasm the public responded in a way which makes this response the real news of the week. The eighteenth annual meeting of the association, which began on October 29 and ended on November 1, marks the definite materialization of the dream of its founder, Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson. Opening Meeting The opening meeting of the session, held at Lincoln Temple Church, gave the first indications of the tzemendous response which the public was to give to the History Convention. The auditorium of the church was packed on Sunday afternoon to hear scholarly addresses by President Joseph J. The Southernaires quartet is alcalled the Molle Quartet.

Lewis, died last Tuesday of poisoning. Lewis's home was burned down by the ku klux klan who he was in Decatur as a witness for the defense in the famous Scottsboro trial. His life as well as the lives of others who testified in the behalf of the Scottsboro boys had been threatened repeatedly. The International Labor Defense has been able to establish that Lewis had been visited by strangers the day before his death. I wish there might be something in the White House except temporal interests. — Bishop Adna Wright Leonard.
