Col. Harry O. Atwood, who is serving as chairman of this unit, announced that his organization will solicit the homes of the city and business establishments employing 20 people or less. This house-to-house campaign will begin Saturday morning, November 18, and the first report of results will be made at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.G.A. Monday, November 20, at 7:30 p.m. The Community Chest Campaign this year is for those human needs of the city which cannot be reached by public funds. Attention is being called to the thousands of Washingtonians in various kinds of needs other than those due primarily to unemployment. Among these are old age, injury, blindness, sickness, under-employment, widowhood and recreational. It is estimated $467,469.90 will be needed to support organizations for needy families for 1934. Another $330,189.82 will be needed for organizations serving dependent and neglected children.

She mentioned, however, the possession of household goods with a nominal value. The first to file this month was Mrs. Madeline Hurst, of 2553 Sherman Avenue, teacher at the Dunbar High School, who stated she had liabilities amounting to $23,226, but assets of only $165.

SUED FOR $50,000 Johnson and Board Head Accused of Writing Libelous Letters Declaring in a petition that two letters written and published about him were false and had injured his business and professional standing as well as deprived him of his good name, James C. Waters, Jr., former Howard law school instructor, brought suit for $50,000 in two counts against Howard University Tuesday. Directly, Mr. Waters accused Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of the institution, and Dr. Abraham Flexner, white, chairman of the trustee board, with having composed and published the alleged libelous and slanderous letters. Before narrating his grievances, Mr. Waters states that he is a graduate of both Howard University college of arts and of the school of law. He also outlines that he has been an attorney in good standing before the District bar since July, 1911, and for ten years prior to the circumstances of which he complains, has been employed by Howard in its school of law as professor of law and secretary of the faculty. The former professor then insisted that he had endeavored to so live as to warrant the enjoyment of the confidence of his fellowmen and had never been suspected of uttering falschools until the composition of the two letters. Dr. Johnson Writes The defendants were in possession of these facts, avers Mr. Waters, but despite them, the university, through Dr. Johnson, falsely composed a letter for no reason at all. He claims that the letter was read by at least three persons, including a member of Congress. The portion of the missive termed libelous is: "He is now on away on leave of absence with full pay, for study. Unfortunately, his studies (meaning Waters's studies undertaken at Columbia University during the first semester of 1931-32) have not been pursued in accordance with his agreement at the University and have not been successive. This statement, the petition avers, maliciously intended to convey the impression that Mr. Waters, having contrived to procure a grant of leave with full pay for the purpose of study, had violated his contract with Howard University, and that instead of improving his opportunity was wasting his time and not giving the university a fair return for its grant. Almost identical words as those quoted above, the petition con- (Continued on page 13) Mrs. Eva Bloodsaw Leaves Estate Valued at $20,000 Richard E. Wellford, white attorney, was appointed this week as collector for the estate of Mrs. Eva Bloodsaw, who died last Sunday. Mrs. Bloodsaw left an estate valued at $20,000, most of which is in cash in Washington banks. Mrs. Mattie B. Williams, 1612 T Street, Northwest, a cousin, is the last known relative of the deceased. She is represented by Attorney Augustus W. Gray. Mrs. Bloodsaw is said to have left a will but this document has not been located. Attorney Wellford was named collector in order to keep the estate intact until final settlement or until the will is found. The deceased was 70 years at the time of her death and some years ago sold several premises at Fifteenth and U Streets to a gas filling station. PRATHER, DYKES INDICTED ON TAX EVASION CHARGE William E. Prather and John W. Dykes, reputed to be big "numbers" barons in the District, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, were arrested in Baltimore, Saturday, after having been indicted by the Federal Grand Jury for evading the income tax law. Prather was the owner of a barber shop at Ninth and T Streets several years ago, when it is said he began to muscle in on the money making racket. He later took Dykes into partnership, and the pair are reputed to have established one of the biggest "banks" in the city. Their daily winnings are reported to have run up to four figures. They were indicted on the Wednesday prior to their arrest, and while agents were seeking them, they appeared with their attorney, George E. C. Hayes, at the Federal Building on Armistice Day. Ball Set at $3,000 They were released on $3,000.00 bail each, which was posted by Louis F. Pondfield, white, secretary of the Concord Casualty and Security Company, a Baltimore concern. Prather gave his address as 122 U Street, Northwest, while Dykes stated that he lived in Landover, Maryland. The indictment against Prather charges that on March 15, 1930, he willfully failed to make returns required by Congress as to his gross income received during 1929, less the deductions allowed by law. It further states that he received $7,192 in 1929, $15,116 in 1930, and $15,876 in 1931. The indictments against Dykes charge that his income in 1929 was $7,560, in 1930 it was $14,925, and in 1931 it was $15,101. SWOONS AS SHE IS FREED FOR SLAYING HUBBY Listening to a jury pronounce her "Not guilty" after considering the fatal shooting of James Edward Scantling, 24, of 126 Tenth Street, for one and one-half hours, Miss Ruby Smith, his common-law wife, Ruby swooned in the District Criminal Court, Tuesday, when she was freed of the slaying. The frail young woman was revived in a few moments and was overcome with emotion as a result of the verdict. Miss Smith's plea of self-defense was presented to the court and jury by John H. Wilson. According to the testimony, the shooting grew out of an argument arising over a letter which hinted intimacy, which Scantling received from a married woman in Palm Beach, Fla. Miss Smith was given the missive by a postman. Instead of giving it to her husband, she kept it hidden. The mailman later told Scantling that he had brought him a letter on the day before. Scantling confronted Miss Smith with the information, and following her reluctance to admit the possession of the letter is said to have threatened to kill her. He locked the doors and secured a razor, the testimony continued. Telling his wife that he was going to kill her, Scantling is said to have walked over to the radio saying, "Before I kill you I am going to have some music." At this point Miss Smith seized a revolver and fired three shots, killing him instantly.

The association was invited, through its local secretary, A. S. Pinkett, to represent the Hillsdale Civic Association, which is seeking to persuade District officials to investigate the affair. The invitation was extended at a meeting of the civic group, held Monday night, at the residence of its president, Ivory Brown, 2604 Stanton Road, Southeast. Mr. Pinkett advised the organization in the steps to take toward bringing pressure on the offending officers, Henry Mazurski and W. H. Humphreys. Mrs. Diggs and her 48-year-old daughter, Mrs. Dedia Coates, were allegedly maltreated when the former shot at the policemen as they TO BE DEMONSTRATED TODAY Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest, dramatic director of a Community Center Department will demonstrate the art of practical make-up for women at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School Thursday night. On next Thursday, November 23 Demnis E. Connell, chairman of the administrative Council and producing group of the Drama Guild, will demonstrate and lecture on the art of make-up. The programs are given under the auspices of the Thespian Study Club. Walter White, N.A.A.C.P. Secretary, to Oppose Low Wage Scare Fourteen cents an hour, the lowest wage in any code yet written, is offered thirty thousand colored women workers in southern laundries by the laundry trade code now up for hearing by NRA officials. Hearing on the laundry code will be held in Washington next Monday, November 20, before Deputy Administrator A.D. Whiteside. Colored people all over the country are urged to send letters and telegrams o. protest against this low wage to Mr. Whiteside. Practically every code drawn thus far has had some discrimination in it against southern workers as to wages, but no industry has had the nerve to ask the government to approve a wage as low as fourteen cents an hour. Only the laundry industry dared to propose such a scale for its Negro workers. The code proposes a 45-hour week, making a weekly wage of $6.30 for colored workers in the so-called "black belt" states. Most of these workers are women. Distribution Shown The laundry code also has the greatest number of geographical divisions, as classifications, even Inspector Says Attempt to Prosecute Officers is a Waste of Time WOMAN IN PISTOL DUEL WITH POLICE Mrs. Cornelia Diggs and Daughter Are Indicted by Grand Jury That the efforts of various local organizations to bring pressure to bear on two white policemen, accused of beating Mrs. Cornelia Diggs, will be unavailable was indicated in a conference with Police Inspector Albert J. Headley, Wednesday. The police official told a delegation, consisting of A. S. Pinkett, local secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; the Reverend Walter A. English, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, and Ivory Brown, president of the Hillside Civic Association, that he believed they were "waisting time" in seeking to have the officers prosecuted until after the court had disposed of the charges against Mrs. Diggs and her daughter, Mrs. Delia Coates. The two women were indicted by the grand jury Wednesday on charges of assault with intent to kill. Meanwhile the officers, whom the women have sworn beat them on the night of the alleged assaults, are not to be suspended. Inspector Headley told the group that the evidence did not warrant his giving credence to the story of the women. Women Offered 14 in Laundry Code P.

Without regard to the badly battered face of Mrs. Diggs, and the blackened eye of Mrs. Coates, Inspector Headley intimated that his investigation had shown the women to be the aggressors in the battle inside the house. During an altercation the women and policemen are said to have engaged in a pistol duel. He voiced a lack of faith in the assertion of Mrs. Diggs and her daughter that the policemen had failed to make their identity known before forcing their way into the house. ARREST WAITRESS WHO WITNESSED NALLEY MURDER Courtney Thomas Threatened, Ordered Detained as Precautionary Step Reports that threats had been made against the life of Courtney Thomas, 19-year-old waitress at the Wunder Bar Night Club, alarmed relatives and friends of the girl, late last week, and moved Assistant United States Attorney Charles E. Murray to order her arrest and incarceration at the House of Detention as a matter of precaution. She was later released under bond. Mr. Murray, who is in charge of the prosecution of the case against Charles Warring, white, held in connection with the slaying of Joseph (Joe) Nalley, white, reputed gangster and man-about-town, at the Tenth and U Streets club, early last Tuesday morning, considers Miss Thomas a key witness in the government's case. Failed to Identify Man' The girl, highly nervous after having been made a target for news-camera men at the coroner's inquest, could not definitely establish Warring as the actual perpetrator of the crime, although she had done so the previous night when she was confronted with a line of men at police headquarters. The District Attorney 'made known his desire to learn the identity of the person or persons who had threatened Miss Thomas, and indicated a determination to issue a warrant for their arrest once they became known to him. Meanwhile three companions of Nalley on the night of the killing were identified and taken into custody by police. All of these, are white. DR. ROBERT C. WEAVER REPORTS TO DR. FOREMAN Dr. Robert; C.

Harrison Tells Life History to Knoxville Students Famous Actor of “The Green Pastures” Has Had a Career Worthy of a Modern ~ Arabian Night’s Hero Harrison in interpreting De Lawd in “The Green Pastures” he reveal- ed in a fascinating address to the students of Knoxville College on Monday, November 6. At the opening performance in New York in 1930 the audience came to laugh, but stayed to weep unashamed at the beautiful. inter- pretation of De Lawd, The College Artist-Lecture Course committee, entertained the entire ‘student body at one of the per- formances of “The Green Pastures” when it showed in Knoxville No- vember 6 and 7, Through efforts of the committee much more satisfac- tory seats were secured than had originally been offered to the race. The famous actor explained his presentation of De Lawd by saying, “My father and mother ran away from slavery in 1854 and were married in London, Ontario, by a Negro preacher, Brother Blount, who baptized five of the nine chil- dren in our family. The Rev. Blount was a Godly man, unlearned, but a great interpreter of the Lord, 1 have studied and presented De Lawd, not humorously, but as I believe Brother Blount’ conceived God. My characterization is built upon the ideas of that wonderful preacher of God,” declared Amer- ica’s greatest actor, Harrison's Life Story Mr, Harrison commanded the at- tention of his Knoxville College admirers for nearly an hour as he’ told the story of his life in his own humorously inimitable way. And it reads like the life of a Horatio Allen hero. The actor spent a lifetime in getting ready for his great opportunity—a dramatic ere- ation that has made him an inter- national character, Prof. D. K. Cherry of the Knox- ville faculty, a fellow teacher with Mr, Harrison at A. & T. College for a number of years, presented him to the large audience gathered in the chapel, and it was at the re- quest of Mr, ‘Cherry that the great actor gave an intimate review of his life. Born in Canada Born in London, Ontario, of “poor but honest parents,” as he wittily remarked, sixty-nine years ago, he became in turn a newsboy, bellhop, and waiter in London and Windsor. At the age of nine, he tells us, he won an oral reading contest open to all students of the public schools, high school included, of London, Facetiously, he suggest- ed that perhaps it was because of his..pugilistic reputation that he won, but the very quality of his voice ag he tells the incident attests to his dramatic genius. Inspired to be an Actor As a hotel waiter Richard B. Harrison met the editor of a small theatrical paper who: supplied him passes to the theatre where he saw Booth, Sarah Bernhardt, and a gal- axy of'lesser stars, who inspired him to become an actor, In Detroit he studied under Wiet- zel, who had great faith in his abil- ity. Recommended for the part of Dr, Faustus in the famous Louis Morrison Company and for Napo- leon in another great play, he was rejected because of his race, and in: his own words, “for the’ first time I became conscious that J was a Negro.” Determined to succeed at the pro: fession of his heart, Harrison chose five plays and went on the road a: a veader, first in Canada and ther in the United States, With the first money earned ot this tour he bought his mother 3 coveted gift. She had been a slav ‘on a wealthy plantation in Missis sippi where the mistress wore gold rimmed spectacles. “So I bough her @ pair of those glasses she ha wanted for so many years; I stil have those gold rims today.” Mi Harrison's quiet. meaningful ton told how much he treasured tha first gift to his mother.

Ickes's Aide Drafts Dr. Robert C. Weaver for N.R.A. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Weaver Leaves Joint Committee To Join Foreman's Forces Weaver Leaves Joint Committee To Join Foreman's Forces Rose Marcus Coe Named as Technical Adviser; Letter to Weaver Implies Probable Trickery on Part of Whites John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, with headquarters in the remedial Building, announced this week the selection of Mrs. Rose Marcus Coe as technical advisor to the Joint Committee to take the place of Dr. Robert C. Weaver, who severed his relationship with the Joint Committee to become associated with Dr. Clark Foreman, advisor on the economic status of negroes to Secretary of Interior Icke. Mrs. Coe, who has been actively engaged on the work of the Joint Committee for some time, is a graduate of Barnard College and has done three years graduate work in economics at Chicago University and Brown University, and has traveled extensively abroad. She is thoroughly acquainted with labor problems. Dr. Weaver who six months ago launched forth upon the ambitious undertaking of safeguarding the rights and interests of Negro workers who had not been included in the benefits extended to other groups of workers under the federal plan for economic recovery, was one of the initiators of a movement which resulted in the formation of the Joint Committee on National Recovery his own brain child, when he is now aoanooning. Announcement of Dr. Weaver's acceptance of the position in the Department of interior was met with keen disappointment on the part of the Joint Committee, which has depended very largely upon his technical skill in presentation of the cause of the Negro worker. Dr. Weaver's withdrawn from the committee is a substantial loss both because of his reorganized ability and because of his complete understanding of the underlying philosophy behind the efforts of the committee. The position of the Joint Committee is made all the more embarrassing by the fact that the committee believes that Dr. Foreman with whom Dr. Weaver will be associated in his new position holds views on the solution of the economic problems of the Negro when are diametrically opposed to the ends which the Joint Committee seeks; views which the committee regards as dangerous to the interests of the Negro. In a letter sent to Dr. Weaver from the office of the executive secretary of the Joint Committee attention was called to what was believed to be the real motive of this action on the part of those responsible for Dr. Weaver's appointment. The letter said in part: "We regret that so many of us have to think in terms of 'jobs' and that the economic situation forces us to do so. We regret further that white Americans have adopted the subtle policy of robbing us of our independence by subsidies, subventions and material aid--all of which we need. "But most of all we need our freedom of thought and liberty of action. The exploitation of subject peoples and minority groups has been based upon the selection of individual leaders upon whom special favors may be heaped in order that the masses may be kept in their submerged condition." In a letter in which he asked to be released from the position of technical advisor of the Joint Committee, Dr. Weaver said that in his new position he believed that he would have an opportunity to influence the operation of the recovery program as it affects Negroes. "I feel," he wrote, "that it is unnecessary for me to assure you that my attitude on the problems as they present themselves in my new position will be guided by the same principles as have my former point of view."

Spelman Will Pay Homage to Memory of Late President ATLANTA, Ga.—Memorial exercises commemorating the life and services to education of Lucy Hale Tapley, president-emeritus of Spelman College who died last year will be held on the morning of Thanksgiving day in Sisters Chapel on the college campus, it was announced today. In the spirit of the holiday the service will be one of thanksgiving for the life of Miss Tapley who was associated with Spelman College for 37 years, the last eighteen of which she was president. Alumnae of the college and her many friends in Atlanta and elsewhere in the South will participate in the services. Coming to the pioneer school for Negro women in 1890, nine years after its founding she served in turn as teacher of English and mathematics, matron, organizer and director of the teacher training department, and dean of the seminary. In 1909 at the death of President Harriet E. Giles, she became third president of the institution. During her administration more than a thousand women received degrees or diplomas. Through her influence Spelman was raised from the status as a seminary to that of a Class A college. In recognition of her services the science hall of Spelman College, a gift of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was named Tapley Hall in her honor. At her signation in 1927 she returned to her brother's home in McKinley, Maine, her native state, where she died on June 6, 1932 in her seventy-sixth year. Historic Account of Manual Education Given at A. & T. GREENSBQRO, N.C.—The manual training phase of education was stressed by Prof. C. L. Cooper of the Technical faculty of A. and T. College in his address to the students in observance of National Education W. k. Mr. Cooper said that the idea of manual training as we have it today came to us from Russia as recently as the nineteenth century. However, the Russian idea was an outgrowth of contributions that had been made through the years by prominent educational theorists, among them Rousseau and Tetrazzini. He stated further that Frank Parson, of Boston gave birth to the idea of vocational guidance. Fellenberg established an academy at Switzerland and required the boys to do manual labor as a part of their course. These were wealthy students, but later the idea of working to defray a part of their expenses was introduced, hence, we have these two points of view in regard to manual training. Still later there was an exhibit from Russia of the wood-work done by students of the school of Petrograd, through which it was brought out that students could be trained in "faculty development" not only in the strictly academic subjects, but in manual arts as well. Through manual training such faculties as accuracy, neatness, etc. could be developed to the highest point. The speaker stressed the fact that manual training was a part of a well-rounded cultural education and gave psychological explanations for his conclusions.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1933 CRAWFORD CASE TO BE ALL-NEGRO COUNCIL AFFAIR Chas. H. Houston and Four Aides to Carry Case to the Finish NEW YORK. Decision to defend George Crawford in Virginia with an array of colored lawyers was made definitely by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People this week. Chief counsel will be Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard university law school, who is also a member of the N.A.A.C.P. national legal committee. Mr. Houston conducted the move in Leesburg, Va. November 6 which sought to quash the indictment against Crawford because it was drawn by a grand jury from which colored citizens and taxpayers of Loudon county were excluded. Mr. Houston contended the colored people had been barred because of their color—unconstitutionally. After a day of examining witnesses, Judge James L. McLemore ruled the exclusion was not because of color and ordered Crawford to trial on December 12. Defense counsel excepted to the ruling and it will form a basis for appeal to higher courts after the trial is over. In seeking to establish its point on the exclusion of colored people from juries, the defense examined a dozen witnesses of the forty-five it had called. Mr. Houston stated they had a total of 350 persons to be called. Prosecutors objected and defense counsel agreed to cease only if the prosecution would admit for the record that there were qualified colored citizens in the county. During a recess a list of eighty colored people was agreed upon by defense and prosecution counsel as qualified for jury service. Next month when Crawford actually goes to trial for the murder of Mrs. Agnes B. Ilsley, wealthy society sportswoman, and her maid, Mina Buckner, Mr. Houston will be opposed by John Galleher, Loudoun county prosecutor, and Frank M. Wray, of Clarke county, who, according to the Loudoun county Times-Mirror, has been retained by wealthy residents of Middleburg, friends of the murdered woman, Mr. Houston will be assisted by Edward P. Lovett and James G. Tyson and Leon A. Ranson, a professor in the Howard law school. Papers Praise Counsel The selection of all-colored counsel has been praised by the colored press. The view is that it is a gamble especially in a Southern state, but that it is great opportunity for colored lawyers. The defense lawyers have been accorded every courtesy by Loudoun county officials. Virginia is bending every effort to carry off the trial without bitterness. Extra precautions were taken to guard Crawford to prevent even the idea of mob violence. It was the conduct of the colored attorneys in the hearing on the motion to quash the indictment that finally decided the question of mixed or all-colored defense counsel, Dean Houston's dignity in the court, his thorough grasp of the law, his courtesy, his firmness in pressing his contentions, his handling of witnesses, and his ability in opposing the prosecutors won him instant respect from all court officials, even his opponents across the counsel table. He won over, also, the press table, containing correspondents for white and colored reporters. Because of the difficulty of the case and the tension in the county over the brutality of the crime, the N.A.A.C.P. had been advised to employ some white defense lawyer of the Virginia bar. This advice was given by liberal white Virginians who want Crawford to have the fairest possible trial. But Dean Houston has converted many of them. Serving Without Fee "To clarify some apparent misunderstanding, I wish it known that Messrs. Houston, Ransom, Lovett and Tyson, defense counsel for Crawford are serving without fee," said Walter White, N.A.A.C.P. secretary, "The N.A.A.C.P. is raising not a defense fund, but an expense fund. Our interest in the case is due first, to our desire to establish the Negro's constitutional right to jury service, and second, to assure to Crawford the fair and impartial trial to which, under the law, every person is entitled." It is not a new thing for the N.A.A.C.P. to use colored lawyers, but this is the first time all-Negro counsel has been used in such an important case in a southern state. Another famous case in which N.A.A.C.P. used eminent colored counsel was the Arkansas riot cases in Elaine county, in 1919-1923. Judge Scipio A. Jones of Little Rock raised the jury question in that long fight and on the strength of his argument secured the reversal of the death sentences of six men before the Arkansas supreme court. Mr. White again sounded an appeal for funds to carry on the case. This is a difficult fight, and even though the lawyers are serving Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES It is pitiful to have dim conceptions of duty.—Ruskin. I consider it my duty to write my honest opinion of Federal employee organizations, as long as I am writing a column for Federal employees. I am therefore surprised at the dogmatism and nerve of some of my friends(?). For instance, I have before me a letter from F. L. S., who writes: "As a columnist you should be impartial. You write like a publicity man for the American Federation of Government Employees, instead of a man who has been given a chance to write a column for the official organ of the National Federation of Federal Employees. Do you wish to antagonize your friends in the National Federation of Federal Employees? Think about it!" The gentleman evidently takes me for a pussyfooter. I suggest that he (as Heywood Broun suggested for one of his disgruntled readers) buy thumb tacks and place them in strategic places around his apartment. Another reader wrote in sending a clipping from last Friday's Herald which, said, among other things: "Six associations yesterday, representing a substantial majority of all organized Government workers, formed the National Legislative Council of Federal Employee organizations." "With a total membership of 150,000, the council will have as its objectives during the next session of Congress, restoration of full pay, maintenance and extension of the merit system in Government service, an equitable retirement system for all Federal workers, and establishment of a full-fledged civil service court of appeals." The organizations which compose this council are the National Federation of Federal Employees National Rural Letter Carriers' Association, United National Association of Post Office Clerks, National Association of Postal Supervisors, National Federation of Post Office Motor Vehicle Employees, and National Association of Post Office Laborers. Or in other words, the National Federation of Federal Employees and five employee organizations of the Post Office. "Whereas, Negro workers are being notoriously victimized in various sections of the country in the form of being displaced by white workers when the minimum wage is applied; and "Whereas, Negro workers are being deprived of certain benefits under the NRA since they especially, in the textile industries, fall within a category, to which the provisions of the National Recovery program will not apply until a later date in January, 1934; and "Whereas, The application of unfavorable wave differentials in certain industries in the South are made to bear heavily upon Negro workers who constitute a large labor factor in these industries; and "Whereas, This wage differential policy with respect to groups of workers is alleged to be based upon differential in productive efficiency and living costs; and "Whereas, Responsible production statistics in relation to Negro workers compiled during and after the World War period indicate that the charge of production inefficiency is without basis in fact, and that certain groups of Negro workers have the same level of production efficiency of similar groups of white workers and that the level of productivity of certain groups of Negro workers is higher and lower than some groups of white workers; and "Whereas, Wage income determines most of living standards and renders it wholly unscientific to relate wage rates to racial factors; and "Whereas, it is a dangerous precedent and definite menace to the organized labor movement to permit the Government to promulgate and execute a wage policy, expressing differentials that can only result in creating competition between the workers that will accrue to the benefit of the employing class; be it "Resolved, That the American Federation of Labor in its fifty-third convention held in Washington, B.C., does herewith condemn the policy of wage differentials based upon sectional or racial grounds and herewith calls upon the National Recovery Administration heads and the President of the United States to eliminate said policy in the interest of economic justice to the Negro workers in particular, the American workers in general, and raising the purchasing power of the entire working class as a whole." The committee recommended adoption of the resolution which was unanimously adopted by the body. John W. Charleston, president of the fast growing Lodge No. 20 of the American Federation of Government Employees, had the secretary, Fred Slade, read the teigram which was sent to William Green, president of the A.F.O.L., anent the restoration of the pay cut, at the last meeting of the lodge. The telegram follows: "Regret previous engagements make it impossible for me to accept your kind invitation to address the fifty-third annual convention of the American Federation of Labor.

Chicago, New York, Los Angeles THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16.1933 Women, Bravery, Freedom Tom Heflin, deposed senator and widely exploited politician from the state of Alabama, once referred to women as the "crowning glory of God's creation." One who knows or knows of the hefty Alabaman whose heyday was incident to the reign of the Ku Klux Klan need not be reminded that Heflin's reference had to do with white women. He was and is admittedly a Negro hater. But there are those of us who feel that our weaker sex is comprised of all that is great and good and deserving of the highest type of respect. We too look upon our women with high regard. Then there is an aged ditty which says something about a "land of the free and the home of the brave." Many years have elapsed since that line was written. But history brings the past up to and in contact with the present. In this "land of the brave" where women are the "crowning glory of God's creation" two policemen—either drunk with liquor or with authority—forced their way into the privacy of a sober residence where two lone women, one a grandmother of two children, cringe at the sounds of their masculine voices. In the half-darkness of a semi-lighted room one of the policemen encounters the woman who has seen nearly seventy years of racial oppression with never an experience of having the forces of the law visited upon her. He takes from her a weapon with which she armed herself when she became fearful of the type of characters she knew to be breaking into her house. Thus disarmed she became his prey. A severe beating was administered her before she was dragged by the hair out side the house to a waiting patrol. Another example of white treatment of the "crowning glory of God's creation." Another illustration of "braveness in the birthplace of freedom."

What the Codes Mean to You Under the operation of the National Recovery Administration, codes of fair competition have been formulated and signed to cover relations between employers and employees and between rival industries. Just what do these codes mean to members of our group many of whom have been complaining about discrimination under them, and others of us who have been forced to Under the operation of the National Recovery Administration, codes of fair competition have been formulated and signed to cover relations between employers and employees and between rival industries. Just what do these codes mean to members of our group, many of whom have been complaining about discrimination under them, and others of us who have been forced to adapt our businesses to them in order to bring about better conditions over the nation as a whole? We have had "codes" of law for many centuries. We have one here in the District. These codes are condensed rules for governing people in their many relations with each other. Brief, direct, concise and based upon long experience in human relations, such codes have replaced older and more complex laws. Such changes have been necessary to meet he newer conditions of life from age to age. Today, in "A National Emergency," we have been called upon to live and work under new codes. Hours and wages are the basis of such codes because they are what the average employee has to sell in addition to his experience, skill and energy. Prices and profits are the terms for employers because they are the returns which the employer is in business to try to get. The buying public is composed of both employees and employers, and any increase in prices must affect that share one receives as wages and the other as return upon what he puts into the business or industry. As employees largely, our group is concerned in showing that it can and does render such an output of energy, skill and experience as will both entitle us to a larger share of the returns, and give to the employer a fair profit upon the enterprise. There is no Santa Claus pack from which business and industry gather the wages you hope to receive. If you desire that recovery which will bring you the things you want, you must put into your work the kind of brains, attention and efficiency to produce those things. That is the meaning of "WE DO OUR PART." Wholesome Talks To those who had the pleasure of listening in on the two Catholic programs last Sunday night, there must have come one ray of hope: some religious organization has seemingly dedicated itself to the "forgotten man." In both of these radio addresses (or sermons if you please) there rang out in unmistakable expressions, not only a warning to the greedy rich but to the hopeful poor of this country. In one address there was stressed the dire necessity that the rich see fit to voluntarily submit to the present demands of a division of this earth's wealth or the ultimate submission to having it taken from them. In the other address the admonition to the people of this country to satisfy themselves with the reasonable comforts of life—cease struggling for either that which you want or that which you once had—and content one's self with the simple plain living in which there is always room to help the "forgotten man" not so fortunate in life's struggles. In these two addresses we see a ray of life. The hope does not lie in these two prelates who so expressed themselves, but in the fact that their utterances, their warnings, and their advice fell upon the ears of millions, whose cellars are filled, whose wealth is beyond their spending for happy needs. If you have not listened to these two programs on Sunday, do so, for from them you may learn, and in them there is a lesson for us all.

This Reader Thinks Local Store Can Prove Our Trade Is Wanted. To the Editor: Having read in The Tribune recently of the success our group is meeting with in securing jobs by making our desires known to chain stores, let me suggest another step we might take. The Phillipsborn Company's one time manager, so The Tribune stated, made it known that it was not the policy of this company to cater to Negro patronage. The result was, the sales dropped, and a new manager coming on the field wished to change the policy and now the company desires the patronage of Negroes. I urge all Negroes to become patrons of the Phillipsborn Company only when it employs an equitable proportion (one-third) of clerks in the store in order that one-third of the population of Washington may be catered to and shown that their patronage is desired, and that it is the company's policy to cater to Negroes by employing colored clerks. Then the colored people will return.

To the Editor: There is not a colored mother in this world who would desire to see her son brutally lynched; and lynch means to kill without legal trial. Ged died to make men holy. He shed blood on the cross. There is not a colored mother in this world who would desire to see her son brutally lynched; and lynch means to kill without legal trial. Ged died to make men holy. He shed blood on the cross. Men died to make us free Men have shed blood on the battle field. In time it might take the shedding of blood to stop lynching. Men have shed blood on the battle field. In time it might take the shedding of blood to stop lynching. People who have read books on slavery know that blood was not shed until the white women cried out to their husbands, that they are selling people as "white as we." A beautiful white slave girl was bought by a foreigner to become his wife, and the women cried, "this must be stopped." One day, lynching will be as close to their hearts as the white slaves were, and then a cry will go up to heaven. Stop our children from lynching each other. The trouble with the average colored person today is that he thinks his money, education, and culture will get him something, but let me tell him that spiritual culture took the old race's hand from the lion's mouth and we today have our problems that require the same spiritual influences. Our one great protection in this country is the shadow of God's Divine hand. This is some food for the white man to digest. I want to say that times, races, and peoples have changed. Intelligent people are forgetting race and color and are respecting a person for what he and can do. God creates all men equal and the difference in flesh does not matter with earnest-thinking people. A cry from heaven is coming down that your race have stolen land, sold human flesh, stolen large sums of the world's wealth, but please don't cut up and burn my black flesh. He who ears must hear; he who has eyes must see; he who has a tongue must speak. I believe in teaching the blind to see, the lame to walk, and the dumb to feel. Many a colored man has been lynched by a frame-up. Why? Because of being more intelligent than the average person in his little community. Colored women are molested daily. It is so common that a colored woman is molested that she ignores it in a modest and retiring way. Refined, cultured white ladies who have travelled extensively and have met all races of people are never disturbed by a man simply looking at her. She feels that she is well-groomed and attract attention from both sexes alike.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1933 Kelly Miller Says Another Negro Congressman In Sight City, state and national politicians, if they are wise, will keep an eye on LaGuardia. The Negro had as well watch out also. By KELLY MILLER It is an ill wind that blows nobody good, LaGuardia swept the city of New York and thereby took himself out of the race in the Harlem Congressional District where his dynamic personality made impossible the Negro's aspiration to Congressional honors. Just as no Negro could hope to come to Congress from the first Illinois District as long as Martin Madden was in the field, just so stood the case with LaGuardia and New York Negro aspirants. But now that this august personality has been removed from the local equation by the fortune of politics, the case is entirely different. The Negroes form the overwhelming majority of the minority party in that district. In recognition of this fact, the precedent of a colored nominee has already been set. As long as Tammany controlled local patronage it could dictate political policies; for no other political organization in this country knows so well how to manipulate patronage for partizan advantage.

TAMMANY HAS NEVER NOMINATED A NEGRO FOR CONGRESS Tammany has never nominated a colored man for Congress for the simple reason that it was not necessary. It was easy to elect a white candidate backed up by the persuasive power of municipal patronage. But now that this has been taken away, the Tiger will be forced to rely upon some other form of political strategy. While the Negro may not constitute the actual majority, nevertheless race loyalty outweighs political fealty. A Negro candidate on either ticket would draw a sufficient number of racial votes from the other side to give the colored candidate the victory. Mindful of this situation, Tammany has stood ready for a number of years to foster a colored candidate if conditions made it expedient. That time has arrived. Nothing can frustrate it except the usual imbecility of the Negro leaders who are wont to destroy each other's chances by internal wrangling.

On the Republican side, the Grand Old Party for the past four or five Congressional campaigns has stood willing and ready to sponsor a Negro candidate, if one could be found, who was otherwise qualified, and was able and willing to assume the legitimate financial obligations. We may reasonably look for two Negro candidates—one on the Democratic and one on the Republican ticket.

OSCAR DePRIEST NEEDS RE-ENFORCEMENT IN WASHINGTON The race as a whole, on the outside, will look on in the impartial attitude of the wife watching a fight between her husband and a bear—she didn't care which whipped. The essential thing, from the broad, comprehensive racial standpoint is to have Congressional re-enforcement of Oscar DePriest. Perhaps it would be a little better if he were on the opposite side of the political fences. Then the race would have some inside touch with legislation in both parties. New York is the only city outside of Chicago from which the race may expect a Congressman for an indefinite period to come. In Philadelphia, while the numbers are sufficient, the race is so scattered among several congressional districts as to make racial domination in any one of them highly improbable. Judge Henry tried it in the last campaign with the easily foretold result. The next city in the order of probability is Baltimore. Here the total number of Negroes is just about half the population of a congressional district. But the lack of political experience and leadership on a national scale too easily subordinates the Negro contingent of the Monumental City to the manipulation of both Republican and Democratic political bosses. He would be a reckless prophet who would dare predict a Negro Congressman from Maryland during the next half generation. No other city has a sufficient number of Negroes to bring the issue of a Negro Congressman within the purview of probability. The First Congressional District of Illinois, from which DePriest hails, does not contain a majority of Negroes, but the race has political unity and sagacity by virtue of which it dominates the Republican machine so impressively as to sweep the whole Republican strength, black and white. The white Republican contingent is so weak numerically that it must needs fall in line with Negro leadership or be eliminated altogether. HARLEM NEGROES ARE POLITICALLY DIVIDED The Harlem District presents quite a different situation. The Negroes are politically divided. The national game must be played across party lines. If existing tendencies continue, a Democratic Negro rival may rise up in Chicago to threaten DePriest's supremacy, but he does not seem to be in sight. He must know his Democratic oats as well as Osgar knows his Republican onions. The hopes of the Harlem Negro are greatly enhanced in the fact that LaGuardia is perhaps the most conspicuous and outspoken friend the race now has in public life. With the great power and prestige of his great office, he will undoubtedly favor the political fortune of the Negro aspirant, in contrast with the insincere and sickening attitude of the old line Republican leaders.

There have been many things of great significance connected with the Crawford trial. First of all it is significant that for the first time in an important case arousing national interest, the defense has been represented by an exclusively Negro legal council.

A New Step in Negro Education BY CARTER G. WOODSON. of Washington D.C. Editor of the "Journal of Negro History" and author of "The Negro in America: The History of the Negro," and "The Negro Professional Man." Little Folks Poetry Hour By Gertrude Parthenia McBrown In spite of the entertaining musical festival, the profitable evening with Negro poets, and the striking exhibit of Negro art in connection with the annual meeting of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, recently held in Washington, D.C., the most important result came out of the conference of modern language teachers. An entire session was devoted to the addressees of Professor V. B. Sprattin, of Howard University, and Professor W. Napoleon Rivers, of the Agricultural and Technical College, of Greensboro, North Carolina, and to the general discussion opened by Professor John F. Matheus of West Virginia State College. These discourses showed very clearly the dereliction of Negro teachers of modern languages in permitting the whole task of textbook writing to be monopolized by others. While these speakers did not emphasize unduly the lack of fair-mindedness on the part of editors of modern language texts they did not fail to show the unusual opportunity awaiting the Negro modern language instructor. The Negro teacher must think and advance the thought of others. Modern language texts which are used in Negro schools either ignore the race altogether or hold it up to ridicule. This is necessary for the reason that in most Negro schools where modern language is being taught the teachers themselves have the right to choose their own text-books. To neglect such an opportunity, then, is a dereliction for which this corps must be blamed. They can select for annotation and adaptation to school room use works of standard authors who have treated the Negro as a human being and at the same time measure up to the standard of the best literature of the world. Among these were Pierre Loti, Voltaire, Lamartine, and Victor Hugo. As Dr. W. Napoleon Rivers at this conference pointed out, even though it may be true that some authors of the modern language texts now in use have proceeded with their task without bias they are occupying in the mind of the Negro the sphere which the Negro himself should preempt. Instead of assisting such authors in the extension of the use of works which bear especially upon the history and status of other people the Negro should edit and make use of those which do this very thing for his own race. One of the speakers, however, took occasion to observe not only the bias of certain authors in the selection of modern language texts but their unscientific treatment of modern European literature from the point of view of the warped minds of most Americans. Some of these biased editors have not only carefully selected those books in which the Negro is not mentioned except to be condemned, but have tried to bellittle and disparage the record of certain Europeans of African blood recognized as great figures in European literatures. Joan Latino is ignored or brushed aside. Pushkin is bellittled as the father of Russian poetry, and Alexander Dumas is branded as an un- In response to the many teachers of the kindergarten and lower grades who used my poems last year during Negro History Week and have requested more material, I am offering the following poems, many of which were used last summer on the closing program of the Southeast House Vacation and Giddings Vacation Schools: O BIG OAK TREE O big oak tree, O big oak tree! With heart so strong and true, Once you were a little seed; But you just grew and grew. I cannot be a big oak tree, I cannot grow as strong; But I can do a kind deed, And I can sing a strong. BUSY FAIRIES Have you ever watched the fairies As they skip and run Around in the sun? Have you ever watched the fairies Weaving pretty sunbeams Into beautiful dreams? Have you ever watched the fairies Working in the sun? I love them. I have; 'tis fun! THE PAINT POT FAIRY A fairy has a paint pot in that tree; And she tints the leaves for you and me. She paints them red, orange, brown and green. The loveliest colors you've ever seen. A fairy has a paint pot in that tree, And she's always busy as a bee. She tints the leaves while she hums a song. And skips and dances all day long. A fairy has a paint pot in that tree, And she tints the leaves for you and me. intelligent writer. These falsehoods permeate many of the extensively used books in schools and colleges where Negroes are trained in the history of modern European literature. Taught by others to despise his own, the Negro thus trained either loses courage or despares of the future of his people. Getting beyond the point of mere talk, these gentlemen at the conference in Washington decided to organize among themselves a circle of modern language teachers who will take more seriously the duty at hand. They are making use of the large collection of European books, French in particular, recently brought over from Europe by Carter G. Woodson. They examined most of the works thus made available and decided upon a series of texts in the French language. The first two productions which will appear will be "Le Chevalier de St. Georges" by Roger de Beauvoir and "Georges" by Alexander Dumas. Negro students of French, then, will not only learn this foreign language and literature, but they will have increased stimulus in studying the Negro in the European mind as revealed by these authors a century ago. "Le Chvalier de Saint Georges" appeared in 1838. This character was a native of the West Indies transplanted to Europe for education. There he soon demonstrated that he was a man of unusual intellect with special aptitude for music. In this field he was thoroughly educated. He developed rapidly as a musician and attained the position of assistant director of the orchestra of the Opera in Paris. He was remembered as an outstanding character of his day and a distinguished man of Europe. Of Alexander Dumas we have heard much in this country, but few have undertaken to see the man as he really was. Unlike most men of Negro blood who attain distinction in a foreign land, he never lost sight of his beginnings. In 1848 not long after Mery had written a book presenting the Negro only as supernumerary and after Frederic Soulie had justified the maintenance of slavery, Dumas produced "Georges." In this there is a story of a struggle and victory of a Negro against race prejudice. Perusing it, then, the Negro cannot fail to find hope that in spite of the clouds which overshadow him today he will triumph over his difficulties and come into the enjoyment of the blessings of modern civilization. These gentlemen, moreover, will not merely edit these books and have then, printed, for "of the making of books there is no end." These scholars of the new thought constituted themselves a committee to solicit the support of Negra teachers of modern language throughout the United States in an effort to extend the circulation of this literature wherever serious thought is being given to the education of the Negro. Four outstanding Negro colleges have already filed advance orders for these productions. They consider this a timely step, and instead of censuring somebody else because it has not been done they rather take the censure upon themselves. THE RAINBOW Pretty ribbons hanging up so high, Pretty ribbons streaming 'cross the sky, Pretty ribbons in the air, Did the fairies fling you there? BUBBLES I like to blow bubbles in the air, And watch the fleecy ships smiling there; I like to see the castles rise and fall, I like to watch the children playing ball. But best of all, I like the pearly trees. Swimming gently in the breeze. Swaying gently in the breeze. BECAUSE WE'RE TWINS What's all the mystery about? Why does the teacher yell and shout? She can't seem to figure us out. Yet it's as plain as night and day. That I am Tom and he is Ray. If you look real close you will see The difference 'tween him and me. But you're as puzzled as can be. Because we're twins, don't you see? A DOCTOR I'm going to be a doctor when I grow. I like it best of anything I know. I'll have a big office down the street Where all the bad coughs and colds I'll treat. I'm going to be a doctor when I grow. And make brown medicine for Uncle Joe. I'm going to be a doctor when I grow; Daddy is a doctor and he walks just so. THE WISE OWL I wish the wise owl in the tree. Would stop saying: "Who? Who?" SPECIAL FEATURES to me, And tell me where the old witch goes; For he's the only one who knows. THE FRIGHTENED WITCH An old witch with a steeple hat, Came tipping in, pit-a-pat. "Hurrah!" I cried, and danced with glee; "She has come to play with me!" But she hopped on her bushy broom And flew right out of the room. She looked as kind as kind could be. I wish she hadn't run from me. Dropped colored leaves on me. We found that many of these poems lend to dramatization and the little actors enjoyed setting the stage. Think It Over By BEATRICE M. MURPHY Softly and swiftly the snow comes down Through all the long day and night Bringing to earth a beautiful gown Of gorgeous, shimmering white. Sending the birds and beasts to their lair And covering meadow and mart; Clearing the dust and dirt from the air As love clears hate from the heart. Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell A JOB AND FREEDOM Many times in this column I have written of the necessity of having a definite job before prisoners can be paroled. This week it is a real pleasure for me to devote this space in an attempt to help a real friend—of nearly a dozen years—years, when both were in adversity and struggling amidst the hardships of prison life, both trying to erect a foundation upon which to build anew. I wish to quote in its entirety a letter received recently from the friend in question: "Roy H. Larkin, Censor. "From Walter Dock Paul, 14045, 33, 4th., 6. Jackson, Michigan. October 3, 1933. "Mr. Clifford C. Mitchell, "This is to acknowledge the receipt of your last week's releases and to thank you for the comments the article contained about Mr. Paul Thomas, No. 14078, also myself, Walter Dock Paul, No. 14045 "Though it came just a little late to especially help me, but it will be real beneficial to Mr. Thomas, as he has a recommendation attached to his sentence, where I have not. "I was recommended for 'Special consideration by Warden Peter F. Gray, September 27th, last. Therefore, I am not in as much need as Mr. Thomas for assistance, only in securing a job with someone, which I am sure that Mr. Diggs can be instrumental in getting. "Again 'We' thank you from the depths of our hearts for remembering 'Us' when it seemed as though all had forsaken us. "Adios until 'We' meet again, with all good wishes for your continued success, 'We' remain, as ever, FRIENDS. "From WALTER DOCK PAUL, No. 14045, and PAUL J. THOMAS, No. 14078." "P.S.—We are at the New Prison now and I am still working for the chaplain." This letter explains the whole story. He, like hundreds of others, can be released, presumably, tomorrow, if he can secure the promise of a job from some reliable individual or concern, but in his particular case I not only can recommend him to anyone desiring a real worthwhile, trustful, loyal, efficient and ingenious worker, but I consider him so worthy of assistance, from my personal knowledge and observation, consisting of well over ten years, that I am using this space in his sole behalf. In prison he has constantly studied and can quickly adapt himself to any class of work as a helper and as a mechanic, either around machinery, or in any kind of handcraft, he is positively the best I contacted while in prison. And I personally guarantee him to be loyal to whoever employs him. If any reader has, or knows of a likely job for him, please contact me at once. The author and his wife were enjoying the comfort of their parlor, she engrossed in a novel, when suddenly she heard him slapping his brow. "Oh, Arthur," she queried, looking up quickly, "an inspiration?" "No dear," he answered sadly, "a mosquito." the Realm Books In By C. LESLIE FEAZIER Echoes of a controversy among Negroes of the South over the merits and mistakes of the NRA are in "Roll, Jordan, Roll," a factual picture of Southern Negro life in words and photographs by Julia Peterkin (author of "Scarlet Sister Mary," "Bright Skin," etc), and Doris Ulmann. Uncle Mose, one of the oldest men in South Carolina, a former slave and a man of deep and vociferous political and religious convictions, regards Franklin Roosevelt as God's chosen emissary, sent to herald the day of happiness and plenty. But Isaac, a bosom companion of Uncle Mose, cannot bear to see棉 plane plowed under when poor people need clothes which could be made from the cotton thus wasted. Uncle Mose has only scorn for this point of view, and points out, as the crowning evidence of Isaac's stupidity, that he cannot even pronounce the President's name. He calls that Heaven-sent man "Mr. Roseball." "Roll, Jordan, Roll" will be published November 29 by Robert O. Ballou. * * * * A new kind of children's book, in which the children will be given the opportunity to duplicate the work of the book's creator, will be published by Robert O. Ballou on November 15 in "African Shadows," by Ugo Mochi. The book consists of 100 full-page silhouettes of African animals with an accompanying page of natural history about each animal. [Note: This column welcomes the thoughts and opinions of the public on all live subjects pertaining to the Negro. Ever so often some one has an idea worthy of sharing with the public, but do not care to bother the city editor. This column may serve your purpose. Mr. Robert E. Bates, who is a member of the Lambda Pho Samas Dramatic Club and a personal friend to me, has an interesting thought on dramatics that I take the liberacy of passing on to you. Here's hoping you like it. H. G. E.] Do Negro actors and Negro plays misrepresent the true philosophy of the race? Mr. Robert E. Bates answers the question. By Robert E. Bates Impressions of the ideals gained by the public of a race of people is to a very large extent dependent upon the way that race of people depicts itself upon the stage. Every play that is enacted is taken from some actual scene played upon the stage of life. Every picture that is presented concerning Chinamen involves hidden secrets and mysteries; all Russian pictures present the working man as the ruler of government; Americans present themselves as being superior. We indiscriminately believe: that all Chinamen are mysterious; every Russian believes in Communionism; every white American thinks he is a superior being. What logical conclusion, can be drawn from the way the Negro is presented and from the way he depicts himself upon the stage? He has made himself conspicuous as an actor through religious plays to the extent that he stands amid the rank and file as an artist. Other than becoming immediately arroused at the moaning of spirituals as well as to the strains of jazz, we have nothing to point to with pride that reflects a desired philosophy. I deviate here to pass comment upon "Emperor Jones." In my estimation the play was interesting and Mr. Robeson's acting was superb. But it did not show anything honorable about the Negro as a ruler. There was at one time a real Emperor Jones, self-acclaimed king in Haiti after the arrest and imprisonment of Toussaint L'Overture. Black Christopher, as he was called, did not retreat to the swamps as Emperor Jones did when his army turned against him, but retired to his citadel on a mountain 2,000 feet high. Doned in an immaculate white uniform he sat upon the throne in all his glory and watched the army march upon him. When the army got into firing distance, he shot himself and died with the honor that befits a king. Such a play as "Emperor Jones" other than the financial gain of the players, adds nothing to the race, but gives impetus to the ever growing belief of the indolence of the Negro and his love of crap shooting. The time has come for us to write our own plays and present them as we would have them presented. With the ever increasing dramatic clubs about Washington along with talented scholars and experienced instructors it should be a simple matter for them to get together and present a play that will gain popularity equal to that of "Green Pastures," but different in that it would present the true philosophy of the Negro rather than a religious aspect. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Bellegarde Honored at Bon Voyage Reception A farewell reception in honor of M. Dantes Bellegarde, Haitian Minister, was held on last Sunday, at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., by a group of prominent citizens of Washington. William H.

NOVEMBER 16, 1933 Big, Bold, Wonderful Men At a smart dance the other evening you saw a tall, graceful, black-garbed figure gliding about the hall. Witn fair face beaming and with the prettiest streak of gray imaginable gleaming bright amid her wavy locks, you knew right away it was Mrs. Mercedes Rector. Such a school! Your fond parents didn't have to call out, "Hurry, or you'll be late;" your teacher wasn't going to punish you for showing up ten minutes behind time; there wasn't even a single, solitary truant officer to urge you on your way. And yet you were there on time—ahead of time—hours ahead. But did you walk right in? No! Everybody else it seemed got there before you did. And after much crowding and much losing of buttons, buckles, feathers, and fur, you finally emerged with three-fourths of a coat, seven-eighths of a hat and maybe a shoe. Now you find yourself inside the Masonic Temple. A Cooking School they called it and it was. But it was also a teasing, tormenting, tantalizing school. For I have never met one individual who does not really enjoy eating an old-fashioned, fried pork chop (with the possible exception of Mr. William A. R, ——, but do believe that if he had seen that lowly "hunk of hog" all puffed up, stuffed up and baked so very brown, even he would have capitulated). There were pumpkin pies, mock mince pies (it was a shame too that after the delicious odor had whetted your appetite to the nth degree, all you could do was to go right home and eat those goodies in your dreams). There were doughnuts, too. No! not that kind but dainty ones, made of bread, with a dot of jelly on the inside and a lot of batter on the outside—and—oh, what's the use? You were there and you've probably made a dozen or so yourself by this time. What a busy week-end for Mr. George W. McGhee, prominent in business and civic circles, and his charming wife! And did you ever see such busy people so very happy? The reason? Their lovely daughter, Mrs. Marie Bright, a teacher in the Raleigh, N.C. City schools paid them a flying visit. Washington friends of the dainty Marie have never quite become reconciled to the thought of her being away (although she has taught several seasons in the southern city). So, night and day they were in and out of the attractive McGhee home, 323 South Capitol Street saying "Hello" and wishing it were almost June so the little teacher could say "Goodbye" to her tiny "charges" and hurry back to Washington. You saw her this summer in a pretty white outfit and you said to yourself, "Can she possibly look lovelier than she does today?" Now that winter is here you see Mrs. John E. Smith, 1812 Ninth Street all dressed in warmer tops (fine furs and everything) and you say—Well you just don't say. You wonder. Baltimore was a happier place to be in last week and all because the radiant Miss Helen Hughes of New York City was spending a few days there. Miss Hughes is an employee of the Y.M.C.A. (Central Office). Snatching a day or so from her duties in connection with the "Y" Drive in Baltimore, the busy lady ran over to Washington to be with petite Mrs. Pitts ("Al-frieda" we call her) 1910 Fifteenth Street, Mrs. Pitts is an employee of the Washington "Y" and I sure you have never seen two busier ladies. Now bridge, now a midnight show, now breakfast, now friends calling, now—but the tired and happy lady must get a rest. How Washington will miss the Haitian Minister and his charming family! Men, prominent in all walks of life; women, smartly gowned, gathered at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. last Sunday evening to do the statesman honor. And such a reception! Washingtonians will remember it long and here's hoping that M. Dantes Bellegarde will always keep impressions of his Capital City admirers. Aren't the Mormans, 1440 Q Street, Northwest, the most interesting people? The mother is a pleasant little body whom you will like. The son (you probably have read of him) has an inventive mind and he has actually built a miniature train perfect in every detail (maybe you saw a picture of it in a Washington daily paper some months ago). Then there's the daughter who, at this very moment perhaps, is painting the cleverest holiday greeting cards you ever saw. You'll be lucky if a friend sends you one at Christmas time or maybe "Turkey Time." And don't forget granddaughter Joan, aged just three, who will dance for you as she danced for me. The father? Haven't room enough to tell you all about him. Can you imagine a more staggering array of Washington Who's Who than that line-up at the Musolit Club last Friday evening? Listen to this: Messrs. George Murray, M. Grant Lucas, Ambrose Calver, Perry W. Howard, John C. Nalle, John A. Lankford, J. Finley Wilson, E. H. Lawson, W. L. D. Wilkinson, Garnet C. Winkinson, and Drs. A. M. Curtis and W. E. D. Wiseman. Mr. Noyes of the Evening Star and Mr. Harry Hine of the Board of Education were also among those present. The subject of the evening was "Effect of the Depression on Education." With a group like that defending the Nation's children you could almost wish yourself back to "Sweet Sixteen" and "Readin and Ritin and Rithmic" days. He was a popular man about town. She a debutante. They were at the Union Station. She to board a train for Baltimore. He there to see her off. She (all elegantly dressed, in a fur-trimmed coat with fluttering, flattering veil covering her pretty face) was just too sweet for words. And when she gave him a coquettish glance from under a chic bit of millinery, you just couldn't quite blame him when he said: "Please remove your glove that I may kiss your hand." Said she, "Twould be easier far to remove my veil." . . . Wasn't it thrilling to hear again the sweet-voiced singer of the "Wormlily" family, Dr. C. Summer Wormley, as he sang at an Armistice Day Celebration in well-known church last Sunday morning? And wouldn't you like to hear that same voice oftener? In a pretty home at 741 Park Road is a most interesting family, Mr. and Mrs. U. S. Garnes and their soa and daughter, Kenneth and Mabel. They work together and play together. And you can't imagine what a genial foursome they make at bridge. Of course the ladies always win, but that's because the two men are so gallant. Young Kenneth, who is about fifteen years old is a very good player and I remember on one occasion when his mother was entertaining her bridge club about ten minutes before game time one of her guests met with a slight accident. Of course, she couldn't be present and what did the entrancing Edith (that's Mrs. Garnes) do but press into service her son. (Nor was there much persuading to do.) At one stage of the game, when young Kenneth made a "grand slam" what did he do but rush to the rear where his mother was arranging her menu and scream, "Mother, Mother! I made a grand slam." And was he happy? It was enough to know he played a good game but to outscore seven grown-ups and women at that, was too much. SEVENTY-FIVE ATTEND GARRISON RECEPTION Seventy-five persons were present at a reception given by Mrs. Ella M. Garrison, food expert, to her co-workers in commemoration of her six years as the chef of an exclusive downtown tea room, at 1114 O Street, Northwest, recently DANCE PARTY GIVEN Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Strothers, of 2309 Ontario Road, Northwest, gave a supper and dance in honor of Baron Lee at their residence, last week.

Truly, better times must be just around the corner, for here and there during the week or over the week-end, many special partejs have been given or special plans made for entertaining those who might drop in over the holiday season. The A. K. A. Girls met on Tuesday evening with Mrs. St. Elmo Brady, of 2603 Eleventh Street, Northwest, as hostess, and formulated plans for the coming season.

Dr. Bellegarde is the minister from Haiti, who has accomplished wonderful things. His reception in this country was quite cordial and enthusiastic, and this party was given in honor of his departure. The fraternity house of the Alpha Phi Alpha was prettily decorated with suggestions of the season on last Saturday evening, when they entertained a large group of friends with a Dutch supper and dance. For entertainment, a very good floor show was given with Bobby Chapman in the limelight. The committee on arrangements included Buster Hawkins, Kermit Trigg, and Archie Burwell.

She didn't lick Storer, but she did "hold that line." The game ended 0-0. Oh boy—and the dear old "war correspondent" for M.T.C brought back a spoil. Nothing but a placord of Storer, which read "Get that fly!" But here was a fly that didn't get a glimpse of the parlor. Keep your eyes on Howard! In the weekly assembly we were presented with some very good M.T.C. talent, a violin solo, and a piano solo. Then a group of the most popular girls built pyramids. This group consisted of: Norma W., "Gertie," Bernice D., Jessie H., Helen M., Carlyn W., etc. It is horeed that the rest of the talent will be shown next week. And so, Howard was again defeated. Too bad. What's the matter? On what can these defeats be blamed? Is it because "Sal Hall and "Ted" Howard aren't there to give inspiration? Or just what? I hear that: Miner Teachers want to call off the M.T.C.-Howard game, having for their excuse, the fact that their men are all broken up. Well, Howard's men are getting broken up, too. Come on, M.T.C., where your spirit? Miss B. B., popular freshman at Howard doesn't like Gresham Street, anymore. Why? C. F. and N. W. aren't speaking? Is it because of that curly-haired boy, that quite a few girls have gone on "pro." A flutter of white cotton stockings and then black. The Delta's and the A.K.A.s. But just a tiny flutter and you see Ruth Brannum, slightly larger, and you see Sue Cook—Is that right? The Scroller's dance was quite a success. Then the Frat houses, and then, the—was the treat of Saturday. Why is it that B. B. turned red when she read a note from some sister? What is this thing called "brotherly love"? Know what I mean? "China" claims Bowles is her "cousin." M. Aiken has a brother who takes her home every day—again this "brotherly" love. Mighty funny, but he doesn't look a thing like her. J. Grant and T. Irving are hitting it off again. That's good. H. Mee, E. Hall and M. Lewis have cut bangs. What do you think of that?

LANGSTON HUGES GUEST OF WEEKLY ARTIST Los Angles, Calif.,—Working on a new opus, the title of which has not been announced, Langston Hughes, poet, is spending the winter in Carmel-by-the-Sea on the estate of Noel Sullivan, millionair artist, singer, nephew and heir of the late Senator James D. Phelan. Reed, Mrs. E. Wilson, Mrs. E. Gaines, Mrs. A. Griffith, Mrs. Tresa Clark, Miss Eva Jackson, and Miss Blanch Wharton. By PEARLIE What an enthusiastic audience! How intelligent and discriminating! And well—how good to look upon! It seems that if you want to find the Washington business man or professional man of the hour; if you want to meet the popular matrons or the pretty debutantes, all you have to do is frequent the musical affairs. So, I am sure you were not surprised when you wendled your way to the little "Chapel of Many Memories" on the "Hill" to find Mr. and Mrs. (and Miss too) "Washington" already there. It was the second of a series of concerts sponsored by the Howard University School of Music. The artist was Harry Gil-Smith, pianist. And such an artist! "The music in my heart I bore long after it was heard no more." The renditions were truly marvelous. Applause, warm and generous, swirled around the place, growing in intensity after each succeeding number until magnificently triumphant, the artist closed his program with Concert Arabesques on Motifs by J. Strauss "By the Beautiful Blue Danube" (Schulz-Ever). Nocturne in C Minor, Opus 48, No. 1 (Chopin), "Sonata, C-dur" (Scarlatti), "La Vie Brene" (de Falla) and "Suggestion Diabolique," Opus 4, No. 4 (Prokofiew) were all beautifully rendered. Bow after bow the artist was forced to make, and long after the smiling musician had left the stage the audience, lost to everything but that they wanted music and more music, still sat and applauded. Finally, convinced that the artist had bowed left he was tired (or had probably left the Chapel through a rear door) the patrons pulled their wraps about them and filed slowly out to face the whistling wind.

Rice is one. It mixes well with almost anything. It readily takes on flavor from other foods, and lends its delicate texture to modify theirs, but keeps its own identity. Thus it makes good flavors go farther. It is an economical food for this season as well as because of its price. In food value, white rice is an energy giver. That is to say, it plays the same part the other grains play in the diet, and serves that purpose admirably. The point is, according to the Bureau of Home Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, you cannot depend upon any of the grains alone. Polished rice, the ordinary white rice, has about the same food value as highly milled wheat flour. It is composed chiefly of a very digestible starch. For this reason, says the bureau, if you are trying to keep down food costs, it is a good thing to cook rice in milk. In that combination you have a good start for a well-rounded diet. As with other cereals and milk, you can get along with fewer foods, and cheaper ones than if you begin with any other combination. White Rice Cheapest The cheapest rice is white race, sold in bulk. This is the race grain after it is milled and polished. Rough rice, or paddy, as it is called. Where QUALITY IS ESSENTIAL you will find CHESTNUT FARMS PRODUCTS ... at the Hospitals! WHERE milk, of a superior quality, is a most important factor of the daily diet—it is but natural for these institutions to depend upon the one dairy in Washington which (for more than a third of a century) has led all others in this essential. Chestnut Farm's reputation for superior methods and the production of only the highest grade of dairy products is not only Nation-wide, but it was recognized and declared by the physicians of Europe to be— "THE MODEL DAIRY OF THE WORLD."

You are invited to send ers of interest to the housewife. Guide to Balanced Diet is the rice grain in its hull. The hull is unfit for food, but the kernel after the hull is removed is what we know as brown rice. In the bran layers of that kernel, and in the germ, are some of the best food values of rice, for most of the protein, minerals, and vitamins are here. But the brown rice grains become rancid if kept very long on the grocery shelves. This, and the fact that dealers say the demand for brown rice is small, make the cost of handling greater and explain why brown rice sells for a few cents more per pound than white rice. In the neighborhood of rice mills, brown rice may be cheaper. And sometimes you can buy the rice punishings very cheap. This may be a good investment as an addition to the white flour or cornmeal you use in bread. It adds the mineral and vitamin values of the germ and the bran coats of the rice kernel. Many Ways to Cook It Rice cooked in milk for breakfast; rice in soups; rice with gravy; rice and fish; meat stews in a rice ring; rice in hot breads, fritters, or pancakes; rice scalloped with tomatoes; rice creole; rice and cheese croquettes; rice with prunes or raisins; rice puddings—these are some of the almost countless rice dishes the housekeeper can provide at very modest cost to the great satisfaction of most families. To cook rice, boil it gently in plenty of water (two quarts of salted water to one cup of rice). When cooked the grains should be tender but unbroken, and should stand apart. For best results with brown rice, cover it after 30 minutes of gentle boiling, and let it simmer until it is cooked through and the water is absorbed. Rice was not growing in this country when the first settlers came, but was introduced from Madagascar by a roving sea captain in 1694. Now, we grow nearly 39 million bushels a year, chiefly in Louisiana, Texas, California, and Arkansas. Foods Whole fresh milk, or—23—28 qts. Evaporated milk—25—31 tall corn.

Add the parsley, onion, green pepper, and cook for a few minutes. Add the water and tomatoes, cover, and simmer until the meat is almost tender. Then add the okra. Season to taste and simmer uncovered until the okra is tender and the stew has thickened. Serve the gumbo in a rice ring made as follows: Wash the rice well, and sprinkle it into the rapidly boiling salted water. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water absorbed. Add the seasonins, put the rice into a well-greased ring mold, and pat it down. Reheat in the oven, turn onto a round platter, fill the center with the gumbo, and serve at once. SEVEN QUALITY Meat SPECIALS at ASCO Savings Experts select the finest quality they can secure.

Smith, formerly of 138 R Street, Northwest, and give him official notice of the annulment proceedings instituted against him by his wife, Mrs. Corrine A. Smith, of 2715 Georgia Avenue, Northwest, an employee of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing since 1905. Smith is believed to be in Brooklyn. N.Y., although authorities have no definite information as to his whereabouts. Mrs. Smith declares in her petition that she finally married him after he persistently sought her hand and represented himself as engaged in a lucrative ice, wood, and coal business on Oakdale Street. During the wooing period, he is also said to have told the object of his affections that he was purchasing the premises at 138 R Street, Northwest, and that she would be the lady of the house. The wife admits that she yielded to the honest pleas and they were joined as man and wife on November 22, 1922, by the Rev. Walter H. Brooks Restricted in Home Her awakening began shortly after the marriage, Mrs. Smith asserts, when she went to the R Street address and found other occupants in the house. Instead of being the lady of the house, the wife claims that she was restricted to certain parts of the house. Within ten days after the ceremony, Smith is said to have begun asking his wife for money with which to pay bills. In the early days of their marriage, the petition avers, Mrs. Smith had to undergo an operation at Carson's Hospital and was confined there for three weeks. Smith was asked for the expenses amounting to $150, but did not, according to the document, have the money, and the wife had to pay. Quarters Reduced The wife relates that she resumed her employment in April 1925, at the same time returning to her mate at the R Street address, where she was forced to live in three rooms on the second floor. The next big event occurred in March, 1926, the story runs, when Mrs. Smith returned home from work one day and found that her husband had moved her personal effects to two rooms, a bed-room and a kitchen. The now missing husband is accused by his wife of making her life so unbearable when she refused to give him money that she had to leave on May 17, 1926. During 1932, Smith is said to have communicated a desire for reconciliation, but when asked what kind of work he would do, became angry it is alleged. They continued their separate ways. Wants Maiden Name In addition to the above charges, Mrs. Smith claims she was caused considerable embarrassment and expense and affected her good reputation when he used her name on spurious paper. For the foregoing reasons, an annulment is requested, also the restoration of the wife's maiden name. Grand Master of Odd Fellows Inspect Temple Edward H. Morris, Chicago attorney and grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and A. T. Shirley, Herndon, Va., grand treasurer, were visitors in the city as guests of Henry P.

Coming to Raphael Theatre Thanksgiving Day FOOTLIGHT PARADE People, Measures, and Things BY E. W. BAKER Thanksgiving brings with it an idea of worship, praise and appreciation for the bountiful gifts we are supposed to have received during the year. On the other hand, there are those who have suffered from the general economic condition, who will discouragingly inquire, "What have I to be thankful for?" Upon the surface of things it may not appear that there are many blessings for which our group can sincerely express appreciation. But a critical examination will reveal that even we, the lowest down in the economic scale, have some few blessings for which we can be truly thankful. I use the word "blessing" in a material sense, because in my present state of existence things I can't enjoy in a material way fail to attract me in a manner which every minister might possibly desire. To return to the original thought, there may be many of us who have felt the pinch of poverty. But, just think how many of us are safe and secure. Witness the night clubs, the Sunday shows, the high-powered motors being piloted through U Street, or the recent government report about the large percentage of pretentious homes in the District. If the paraders in this class have suffered any, it has only been through the possible elimination of some of their minor luxuries. First, we should feel thankful that conditions have brought about a stern realization that we must work out our own salvation. The NRA codes may be all right for the masses, but news reports from all over the country disclose that the Negro will have to struggle just as hard if not harder to keen in the running. Second, with this realization, interested Washingtonians have endorsed the program of the New Negro Alliance in unifying the group to demand employment in fields which have been heretofore closed to us. I have read the ambitious and militant program of the N.N.A. I feel that each of their proposals is just as beneficial to the group as the picketing of certain stores which gained us clerks. What I want to really say is that I like them constantly in action. Maybe they're just catching a breath after their last victory. Third, we should be thankful that the failures and difficulties of our business men have led our to the realization that they must secure our confidence, gain our support, then use practical methods in the conduct of business. These are just a few things looming in this era of adversity for which we might return the accustomed thanks on Thanksgiving Day. Think it over between now and next Thursday. Yes, you. GRAND SLAM Amos n' Andy don't need any advertisement from me as they set out into their new business venture, that of opening up a garage. I'm wondering, however, what ever became of all those efforts to have them put off the air for their so-called slams on the Negro. Again, I wonder do you happen to know that the company which fosters their program is not now interested in advertising in colored mediums. For that matter, neither is the Ivory Soap Company, but the latter does not exploit any of our reputed weaknesses. The recent slaying in the mixed nightlife club recalls to mind when it was run exclusively for colored under the name of the Bamboo Inn. When it developed into the Club Prudhom, then the mixing up began with its resultant consequences. Now, a slaying and subsequent threats to a female witness. In what white night club do we mingle freely or otherwise, even if we have wealth, prestige, or just happen to be sailing along with the sole heritage that our family slaved before the Civil War? In certain things I see no racial unlift. While we are declaring the physical lynching of another in Princess Anne, Tuscaloosa, or some other hell hole, we are being economically lynched here in the District when we patronize those stores which will not employ us. The sight of numerous structures, whose forms are being added to Washington's skyline, brings the query, what ever became of the proposal to erect here a $500,000 memorial to honor the achievements of the Negro race? Congress authorized $50,000 for the expenses of a white commission to iron out such matters as location of site and the design of the memorial. But it directed that the $500,000 needed for the construction had to be raised through voluntary subscription by the National Memorial Association, a colored group. The officers of this association, as I recall, were: the late Ferdinand D. Lee, president; Samuel C. Smith, secretary; Dr. John R. Hawkins, treasurer; the late Martin R. Powell, publicity director; the following vice-presidents: Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, the Rev. W. H. Jernigan, J. Finley Wilson, and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, all of D.C. Others were: Dr. R. R. Moton, Alabama; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Virginia; Robert L. Brockenburr, Indiana; Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Ohio; Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Florida; the Rev. L. K. Williams, Illinois; Mrs. J. C. Napier, Tennessee; the Rev. J. C. Jackson, Connecticut. The resolution authorizing the memorial, which Congress adopted, was submitted by a Tennessee Republican. That $500,000 proposition taken on the resolution, so far as I am concerned, was a joker. Dr. Robert C. Weaver, one of the four recently appointed assistant advisers on economic affairs in the Department of the Interior, is a grandson of Albert I. Farley, veteran chief file clerk in the District Court building. Mr. Farley has been employed by the District for 45 years, and has held his present post for 29 years. His small but efficient assistant is George W. Allen, who has had more than a decade of experience in keeping legal documents so they can be found easily.

Francis M. Mackey, 11-year-old Monroe student, was walking in the vicinity of Seventh Street and New York Avenue, when he was approached by two boys who forced him into an alley and robbed him of a harmonica and several; other trinkets dear to the heart of every boy. Francis followed the bandits several blocks until they disappeared behind the library at Seventh and New York Avenue. He saw Park Policeman W. E. Riley passing on a bicycle near the library and told him of the hold-up. The officer quickly overhauled the youths and found the articles in their possession.

MRS. BUENA KELLY GIBBS. GGrand Secretary of the Grand Temple of Elks, is a patient at Carson's Hospital here, where she is undergoing an operation $15,000 ASKED FOR DEATH OF PUPIL CRUSHED BY BUS The untimely death of little Rudolph Hackley, six-year-old kindergarten student of the Mott School, who was crushed to death by a bus in front of the school on October 10, resulted in a suit for $15,000 damages being filed against the Washington Railway and Electric Company by Hayes Mackley, father, Friday. The young pupil was crushed to death during the noon hour of the above date by a bus operated by Curtis Trueman Sales, white, of Hyattsville, Md., driver for the company.

A coroner's jury determined, without prejudice, that the death was accidental and released Sales. The driver stated that he did not see the boy prior to the accident. Sales declared that he felt his rear wheels bump over an object. He stopped the bus and on going to the rear of the vehicle found the boy's body in the street.

Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, stressed the vital importance of affording educational opportunities to all children in an address before the Mu-So-Lit Club, Friday evening.

He advocated that education for the proper use of this extra leisure time is more important than ever before. The club voted to support the Board of Education in every way possible in the establishment of special classes for blind colored children, and toward supplying glasses for those with defective vision.

Youell said today. Gov. Byrd shortened Crawford's term by a year for the act. Superintendent Youell said Crawford had a bad record the first of his two terms and for part of his second term.

He was convicted here in 1921 for receiving and concealing stolen goods, and was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary.

Crawford escaped a second time in 1925, but was recaptured the following day. For the two escapes he received three additional years, as well as two years for being a second offender. His total sentences exceeded 11 years. Crawford was released from the nontentary on November 23, 1930. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE M. B.

Brooks testified that when he saw the man fall he rode up beside the driver and told him that a man had fallen from the truck. Moore stopped the truck, stating that the men did not work for him and that he did not know they were riding, the testimony continued. The second man to meet violent death was James Beverly, 52, of 1925 Eighth Street, Northwest, who died at Freedman's Hospital, Saturday, with a fracture of the skull and severe body injuries. Passed Between Parked Cars According to the testimony, Beverly walked from between two parked automobiles on T Street, between Seventh and Eighth Streets, into a taxicab operated by Roscoe Bruce Ward, 23, of 1544 Eighth Street, Northwest, on November 8. He was freed of any responsibility for Beverly's death. Harvey Revis, of 2312 Seventeenth Street, Northwest, another hacker, who was on the stand near the accident, substantiated the statement of Ward that the man walked into the side of the cab going at a slow rate. Dr. W. R. Wright, of Freedmen's Hospital, testified that Beverly was unconscious when he was brought in by Ward and had an odor of alcohol on his breath.

GIVEN YEAR ON PERJURY CHARGE Faced By 25 Police, Man Admits Long Record of Crimes George Green, 34, 1408 C Street, Southeast, learned an old lesson in Police Court this week—that it pays to tell the truth. Green was arrested and charged with stealing 60 pounds of sausage from a meat wagon on November 6. When being tried before Judge Isaac R. Hitt, the man who was represented by Attorney John H. Wilson, claimed that his case was one of mistaken identity, and police arrested "the wrong man." However, the assistant District attorney produced a long record showing that Green had been accused of 39 petty crimes and had been convicted on 14. Green denied he was the man "in the record." Judge Hitt postponed the trial until a check-up could be made. Officers recognized Green as the same man who has been in the toils of the law in a series of crimes for a period of 10 years and was identified by some 26 policemen who knew him. Green was sentenced to one year on a perjury charge. OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER GOVERNMENT MAN ORDERED TO PAY ALIMONY TO WIFE GOVERNMENT MAN ORDERED TO PAY ALIMONY TO WIFE Court Ignores Plea That She Has Part-time Employment Roman Taylor, of 1413A Carrollburg Place, Southwest, who went into court last month in an effort to secure an annulment of his marriage to Mrs. Edna Lee Taylor, of 74 G Street, Southwest, because of matrimonial incapacity, was ordered to pay her $16 a month temporary alimony by Justice F. D. Letts, last week. The order followed a series of charges and counter-charges which have been filed in the District Supreme Court by each litigant. Taylor started off the proceedings October 18, when through his attorney, John H. Wilson, he complained of certain alliments of his wife and declared she had represented herself before their marriage as being in a normal and healthy condition. He insisted this was not true. Kept Company Four Years Through her attorney, Bart Clines, Mrs. Taylor filed answer to the charges on October 24, also a cross-bill. She claimed that she and her husband had kept company for approximately four years prior to their marriage. She further bared their courtship with the declaration that they were as intimate as man and wife one year to the ceremony. She continues that she is now a sufferer but that the ailment was not discovered until six months after marriage. Mrs. Taylor then belabored her mate in his claim that he was a dutiful husband. On the other hand, she accuses him of getting intoxicated and maltreating her on many occasions. In her cross-bill Mrs. Taylor reiterated the claim that Taylor was cruel and added that on one occasion he struck her with a bottle during the early part of the past December. The wife avers that she was cut about the face and arms, having many stitches taken in the wounds at Casualty Hospital. Mrs Taylor claims that she was forced to separate from her husband because of his cruel treatment about December 30, 1932. She asked that the divorce be awarded her, together with temporary and permanent alimony. Taylor immediately answered with a denial that he earned $100 a month as claimed by his wife, but that his salary is $76.50. He asked the court to deny the wife temporary alimony, contending that in addition to her income from part-time employment, she kept house for her mother, who contributed to her support. Taylor denied being addicted to drink. In referring to the "bottle incident," his version of the affair was that Mrs. Taylor became injured when she fell after throwing the bottle in an effort to assault him. He insists that the matter was fully investigated by the authorities who took no action after finding that the wife was the aggressor. Notwithstanding his efforts, Taylor was ordered to pay Mrs. Taylor $8 twice a month until disposition is made of the case.

Body Fav in Public Scho Civic Group Appeals to Police to Halt Northwest Crime Wave The recent crime wave in the northwest section of the city resulted in an appeal being made to police to curb the large number of holdups and robberies that have terrorized residents for the past several weeks. Members of the Pleasant Plains Civic Association at their monthly meeting Friday at Monroe School passed resolutions deploring the increased number of crimes in that section and sent a letter to the captain of No. 10 precinct asking that greater vigilance be exerted on the part of policemen in combating crime. Asks for Assembly Hall The association directed that a letter be sent to the District Commissioners asking that an item eliminated last year be reinserted in the 1934 budget for an assembly hall and gymnasium at Monroe School. The association went on record as favoring collegiate boxing bouts in public school auditoriums. It was pointed out at the meeting that the board of education has asked civic groups to pass on the question of boxing in schools. The board last year refused the request of a local white university to hold boxing in the auditorium of McKinley High School. To Continue Meetings at School The association voted to continue --- THEATERS SPORTS NINE STUDENTS Appeals to Police Northwest Crime Wave Association Asks Assembly Hall for Body Favors Collegiate Boxing Public School Auditoriums --- NINE BOARD ACTS TO ASSIST NEEDY DISTRICT PUPILS 2 Appointments Made in High and Night School$ In an effort to prevent children having to remain out of school due to lack of shoes or other clothing, the Board of Education decided in its meeting, Wednesday, to encourage persons with such articles to deposit them at any convenient school. The decision followed information that the 211 children reported out of school several days ago because of deficient clothing had been enabled to resume their studies through the co-operation of the Community Chest and the Federal Emergency Relief Association. Dr. Frank W. Ballou related that in view of the multitude of calls made upon local relief agencies, it was advisable to have all possible assistance. He stressed the point that many persons have clothing which they do not want but would be of service to some needy persons. When these articles of necessity are received at the various schools, the principals and teachers will determine the cases which need aid and act as distributing agents. Two Teachers Appointed Among personnel changes was the approval of the appointment of C. F. Holmes as teacher in the Armstrong High School; the appointment of C. L. Miller as teacher in the Cardozo Night School. Teacher transfers approved were those of B. J. Henley, from Lovejoy to Garfield; and Mrs. M. K. Rollins from Garfield to Lovejoy. Mrs. E. G. Winston was reinstated as teacher of the Garfield School. The board deferred action on the application of Mrs. E. J. Jackson, teacher of the Francis Junior High School, for retirement on account of physical disability until its meeting on December 6. The body was also advised of the retirement of W. H. Ware, fireman at the Francis Junior High School on November 30, and of the death of Mrs. E. L. Williams, night school teacher.

JACKSON LOS ANGELES, Calif.—(ANP) —Taking his chances with more than 1,800 Los Angeles attorneys who are fighting for four judgeship vacancies which Gov. James Rolph hopes to fill within the next week, Paul M. Nash, prominent colored attorney, made known his application for one of the places this week. The vacancies include one on the municipal bench, two on the superior bench and one in the appellate court. Rolph said that it may be necessary to request a plebiscite of Los Angeles attorneys before making the appointments. In that event, the race man is automatically ruled out as the Los Angeles Bar association openly opposes the admission of colored attorneys to membership in the legal fraternity. Mr. Nash was a candidate for judge sometime ago and it was thought that he would be appointed by the governor who expressed the desire to appoint a Negro. Later, however, hiding behind the excuse that the Negroes "could not get together," Rolph dismissed the matter with a smile. In a recent municipal election, Nash polled more than 45,000 votes without making a vigorous campaign and totaled more than all the candidates-for-mayor, except the winner. He is a Harvard College graduate and finished law in the Boston University Law. His personal and professional record here has been above reproach and his appointment to a judgeship was urged by some of the most influential members of the bar as well as some of the most powerful banking institutions in the city and citizens from every walk of life.

Religion Today The Trend of Current Thought and Discussion Religion Today The Trend of Current Thought and Discussion By the Rev. Eugene Williams, Pastor, John Stewart Memorial M.E. Church Subject: Special Message to Children. The parents of the yesteryear, though simple in their every day life and often illiterate, were greatly concerned about the spiritual, moral and intellectual growth of their children. They were not too busy to maintain a family altar, church attendance, and offer a blessing at each meal. The old-fashioned folks had respect for their parents and all persons their seniors. They spent much time in advising the youth of the pitfalls and snares of life. They advocated a unity of the home and the belief in a living God. The youths of today are confronted by two great antagonists, fickleness and false ideals on the one hand, and the thetic understanders, on the other. There are in some some members tate to apply the e to every religious church.

Louise Barrett, registrar of Virginia State College. Out of a total of 674 students enrolled at Virginia State College, this year only 44, or 6.55 per cent, express no denominational preference. Moreover, even this failure to express a denominational preference cannot in all cases be interpreted as a lack of belief in some type of religious doctrine. However that may be, the fact remains that 93.45 per cent of the students at this college have religious inclinations, as evidenced by their expressed preferences for certain christian denominations. The strength of the Baptist Church in the State of Virginia is reflected in the data released. Of the total number enrolled at the college 448 or 66.5 per cent, either are already members of the Baptist church or prefer that church above all others. Thus the Baptists have more adherents among Virginia State College students than all other denominations combined. Second to the Baptist church comes the Methodist, with all of its varieties. One hundred and eight students claim the Methodist church as their denominational preference. The Methodists thus have a following of 16.02 per cent of the student body. The Episcopalians stand third with 41 adherents, or 6.08 per cent of the total. The remaining 10.93 per cent are distributed among the following denominations: Presbyterians, 13; Catholic, 9; Christian, 5; Congregationalist, 3; Dutch Reform, 1; Lutheran, 1; Marevian, 1. Rev. Francis J. Grmke to Speak at Tabor Sunday Rev. Francis J. Grmke to Speak at Tabor Sunday The Rev, Francis J.

The service will be under the anspices of the Tabor Missionary Society. one hand, and the lack of sympathetic understanding by their elders, on the other. There are in some of our churches some members who do not hesitate to apply the emergency brakes to every religious activity of the church. This group would even balk at the Communion Service and refuse to kneel if the Junior Choir of the church should happen to have charge of the music. They by their lack of cooperation, and often direct opposition, serve to drive the young people into Satan's camp. My advice to youth, however, is to be courteous, thrifty, honest, and true. Acknowledge God as your leader and guide. Eventually, all obstacles will be overcome. arried to White sevelt's Signature to Book of Million in Drive university Officials to for Institution President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, on last Friday, signed The Book of A Million Names, for Wilberforce University, the oldest Negro university in America, located at Wilberforce, Ohio. Earlier in the day Postmaster General James A. Farley signed the book in his office in the Post Office Building From there the committee of five representing the university went to the White House to get the President's signature. Because the book is so bulky the committee decided not to take the 177 pound book to the White House, but have the President sign one of the loose leaves which go to make up the duplicate book. This was presented to Mr. Roosevelt but the President said he would rather sign the book itself. Four Men carried Book So within fifteen minutes the big book was brought to the White House. It took four men to handle it. Three White House attendants took the book into the President, where it was signed. Weighs 177 Pounds One million people are putting their names in this book for Wilberforce University. These names are to be a perpetual memorial to those who redeemed the Negroes' oldest university. The book is to be put in an especially built alcove in the Wilberforce University Library, and a duplicate in the Congressional Library at Washington. The book is 3 feet high, $2\frac{1}{2}$ feet wide, 18 inches thick, and weighs 177 pounds. It is one of the largest books of its kind in the United States. When filled with one million names, it will be America's unique book. Individuals who will give one dollar or more will have their names inscribed in the book. fnnzb Z shrdl shrdl shrdl shrd sr Church Group to Meet The monthly meeting of the Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union will be held Monday, November 20, at the First Baptist Church, Twenty-seventh Street, and Dumbarton Avenue, Northwest, at 8 p.m. HENRY BEATS ASBURY FOR JUSTICESHIP PHILADELPHIA.

ACTIVITIES SOUTH IS STILL RILED OVER I.L.D. ACTIVITIES Defense Lawyers and Bates Girl in Danger as Trial Nears SLEUTHS DISCOVER INTENSE HATRED Guardsmen Would Offer Only Sham Resistance to Mobbers Posing as soap and brush salesmen as they interviewed residents of Decatur, Ala., four white investigators have unearthed evidence that the retrial of the Scottboro case there on November 27, will be the signal for the use of the rope and torch on the seven defendants, their attorneys, and Ruby Bates, Washington learned, Friday night, at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. The information, based on reports, from New York, was given by Charles H. Houston, chief defense council for George Crawford and prominent in other famous cases, to a large group of delegates assembled at the Y.W.C.A. to form a mass conference against lynching. According to the story, the evidence consists of seven affidavits sworn to by the men after they talked with more than 500 persons in Morgan County since Circuit Judge James E. Horton reversed the verdict of the jury which convicted Heywood Patterson, one of the nine accused boys, last spring. There is a more bitter telling now than there was in Jackson County at the time of their first trial in Scottsboro, it is said. Seek Change of Venue The affidavits secured by the men, it is understood will be used by Samuel S. Leibowitz, chief defense counsel, to support a motion for a second change of venue to some other county where the feeling is less intense. The youths will plead before Judge W. W. Callahan, in Decatur, November 27, to the charge that they attacked two white girls, Victoria Price and Ruby Bates on a freight train near Scottsboro, March 25, 1931. The Bates girl has since traveled all over the country telling vast audiences that the boys had never attacked her and they were framed. Information contained in the affidavits reveal that her life is also in danger should she return to Scottsboro. The defendants have been in jail for two years and nine months. They are at present in the Jefferson County jail in Birmingham for "safekeeping," but are scheduled to be taken to Decatur a week before the opening of Heywood Patterson's third trial. Fair Trial Impossible The four men who made the country-wide survey of public sentiment for the defense counsel are: Victor Elwood, John Williams, Jim Jones, operatives for a private detective agency, and David Schriftman, a New York attorney. The affidavits, turned over to Mr. Leibowitz, contain the names and addresses of hundreds of persons who have declared openly that the boys could not receive a fair trial at Decatur. Among those talked with were "substantial citizens," owners of property and persons likely to be called upon to serve as jurors. Others included Negro residents who lived in fear of their lives since Judge Horton reversed the verdict, and a half a dozen National Guardsmen and officers who said they would offer only sham resistance to a lynching mob. Women Wants Boys Killed One man named in an avidavit stated he was ready to organize a mob himself to lynch the Negroes and "their damned Jew lawyers from New York." Several opinions on the guilt or innocence others listed said they had fixed of the youths, but would conceal their feelings in order to get upon the jury and help send them to the chair. Several women were quoted as saying they did not care what happened to the Negroes so long as they were killed, because if they were freed the South would not be safe for white women. Not only was the sentiment against the defendants and Liebowits, but against the Bates girl, who turned from a prosecution witness to a defense witness between the first and second trials. Some also say they would favor lynching Lester Carter, the white youth, who testified for the defense at the last trial. Another man, according to an affidavit of Williams, boasted that he "rounded up the boys in the neighborhood," to rty to lynch Thomas Brown, accused of attacking a white woman. This man named 31 others he said joined with him. Two attempts to wrest Brown from the authorities failed, but the mob shot and kill James Royal, a friend of Brown, in the streets of Decatur. Bitterness of the intervention of the International Labor Defense, the New York lawyers, and the necessity for "keeping the Negro in his place," were the reasons usually advanced by residents of the county for their expressed determination to "use the rope next time." Mr. Schriftman expressed the opinion that not a single impartial juror could be found in Morgan County and that anyone connected with the defense would be exposed to serious danger. Continuing, Mr. Schriftman's affidavit said: "Residents of Morgan County had nothing but praise and admiration for the "mob" in Tuscaloosa that shot and killed two Negro defendants and severely wounded another while the Negroes were being removed by the Sheriff's deputies to a place of safety. "It was indicated in no undeclive language that such would be course in the Scottsboro case. "Intense hatred was manifested for counsel for the defense. As one resident in Decatur said: "If them lawyers, especially that Jew lawyer Leibowitz, comes here, it will be a one-way trip. We missed him last time at the trial. He will never go back to New York if he comes here again and we'll take the others, too. "Your deponent is of the opinion that if the 'Scottsboro' cases are brought to Decatur for trial, it will be the signal for the most horrible of catastrophes that the South has yet witnessed." Willie Peterson Case to U.S. Supreme Court BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Following a conference here between Dean Charles H. Houston and Attorney John W. Altman, the appeal of Willie Peterson to the United States Supreme Court was perfected and will be filed next week. Mr. Altman, who has been ill, is improving and will have complete charge of the appeal. Dean Houston has volunteered to do routing work in Washington in connection with the appeal. Peterson was convicted of attacking three white society girls and killing two of them on August 4, 1931. He stoutly has maintained his innocence and even the sheriff, the chief of police and other high officials in Birmingham have stated they believed him to be innocent. The Birmingham branch of the N.A.A.C.P. and the N.A.A.C.P. national office in New York have jointly financed the fight, but are trying now to raise additional funds for the expensive supreme court appearance. New Trial for Negro Charged with Murder of Lynch Mob Leader MENNEAPOLIS, Minn.—Wilbur Hardiman, young Negro boy, who was convicted of manslaughter, as a result of the killing of a leader of a lynch mob that attempted to take the lives of several Negroes in Minneapolis on June 22, 1933, was granted a new trial November 8. The International Labor Defense, which defended Hardiman, established that Hardiman was not the one who did the shooting and that whoever did the shooting was justified in doing so to get away from the lunch mob The fight of the I.L.D. in the case of Hardiman, and James Johnson who is to be tried later, is only a part of the fight of the International Labor Defense against the prosecution of Negroes. The International Labor Defense whose slogan is "equal rights for Negroes" had decided to take the case of Hardiman to the Supreme Court had a new trial been denied to Hardiman. The International Labor Defense to support its mass fight for the freezing of Hardiman had David J. Bentall, of Chicago, L. S. Taylor, of Menneapolis and Henry Paul, of Duluth as its attorneys. All three lawyers have defended numerous cases whose defense was undertaken by the I.L.D.

Lone Negro Has Office at World's Fair CHICAGO (ANP)—Dr. Wallace A. Battle seems to have been the only Negro to have had an office at the recently closed Century of Progress. Dr. Battle, who was assigned his space by the National Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church, is field secretary of the American Church Institute for Negroes. He has recently returned from the possibility of colonization in Brazil, where he made a survey of that country. As soon as he reached this country he proceeded to Chicago to assume charge of a phase of the National Council's work in the Hall of Religion. Asked by an A.N.P. reporter how he felt to see no Negroes holding any prominent place in the wonderful world exhibit, Dr. Battle said: "It was greatly humilating to twelve million American citizens for the whole world to come to America, to our second largest cit", to find Negroes employed only in a few menial jobs. This was the more painful to me when I observed most of these Negroes working in the pay-toilers. Which Negroes were working hard not for a decent salary, but for such tips as the patrons might see it to give." Chols Seys A Mr. Chols Dear Mr. Chols: Can you tell me what makes Mrs. T. H. P. think she is a chippy? Signed, Bonehead. Dear Bonehead: I guess because she is a chip off the old block. Dear Mr. Chols: Should Miss E. get angry because she is addressed as Mrs. when she lives at the castle? Signed, Meddlesome. Dear Meddlesome: If Miss E. gets angry for being called Mrs, that, dear boy, is her business, and if she lives at the castle, that is their business; and this article is really 'oo hot for me, 'cause it ain't any of my business, and my advice to you, dear Meddlesome, would be to mind your own business. Nuf sed. Sorry, son, I cannot tell you where the red Ford is, 'cause that is history. But you will find Johnson at the newsstand at 2439 Nicholas Avenue, Southeast. And now for the Zonta Girls' tack dance at Murray Casino, December 8. I'll see you there and we can hear Hester and his ten little pigs. Dear Mr. Chols: Why do they call Mr. R. Broadway the old back-biting spider? What do you mean they? What you mean is why do you call him the old back-biting spider. Dear Stupid: That is simple, because he chewed you to pieces. Dear Mr. Chols: Did you know that Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Leak were guests at Mr. J. Morgan's swell party? No, Fat Mouth, I did not know that, but I bet it was a freeby. Did you know that the Brown Buddies are planning a real stomp? Well, they are, and it will be held at Murray Casino, December 27. Be seeing you. *** And now, a toast to the boss: May he never get a bookmaker for a bookkeeper; may he never be shorthanded for a stenographer; may he never be keyed up by the typewriter; or stabbed by the file clerk, or steam rolled by the payroll. And if he is as satisfied as we are, then we are hired for life. *** Lest you forget: don't miss the grand old barn dance Thursday night, November 13, at Murray Casino, the Black and White Circle Club. --- Did you know that beauty draws more than oxen; and that he who has the reputation for rising early may sleep till noon; and that 'tis better ask twice than to get lost once; and that, at night all cats are gray; and that the absent are always at fault; and that the face is the index of the mind; and that you should say nothing of debts unless you intend to pay. So I ain't saying nothing. Be seeing you. --- Capital View News Captain Albert McReynolds, Lieut.

Mr. Henson's subject was "Living at the End of an Epoch." He pointed to three significant elements in the present social order that definitely denote a revolutionary change in the present trend of civilization. These elements may be seen in the facts that: 1. "We are now on the verge of an economy of plenty and all previous epochs in the world's history have been based on an economy of scarcity. 2. There is an increasingly intelligent antagonism between the colored and the white races of the world. 3. There is an international longing for authority, dictatorship, and a command of life that may be noticed on all sides." "There is a growing feeling that the Negro will make gains only as he deals in mass pressure. The American Negro is realizing that he cannot wait for the sanction of either white or black leaders, but only through his initiative is he to make advances. What we as Negroes can do individually to aid in the social change is infinitely insignificant, but it is infinitely important that we do it." During Mr. Henson's two-day visit at Morgan, he held group conferences in which questions of international and social importance were discussed among members of the student body. Through his influence a World Education Commission has been established as a branch of the Christian Association work. The purpose of this group is to keep the student informed on all current issues of general interest. Choral Club at Conference The Morgan College Choral Club was presented at the Youth Conference which was held in connection with the 115th anniversary celebration_of the Caroline Street M.E.

Football Makes Its Local Debut Sunday Morgan Bears Watch as Hampton Defeats Howard Before 3,500 Morgan Bears Watch as Hampton Defeats Howard Before 3,500 Seasiders, "Under Wraps" Completely Outplay Local Eleven; Richmond and Weatherford Star for Hampton; Williams, Gaither, Howard Standouts Restricted to straight football by a coach who respected the scouting eyes of a watching Morgan College football team, Hampton Institute's Pirates drove to a 28-0 victory over the Howard University Bisons at the Howard Stadium, last Saturday afternoon. A crowd of approximately 3,500 spectators saw the proceedings. Largely because of the efforts of Ike Richmond, the Arkansas sensation, Hampton showed itself superior to Howard in every department of the game. The victory marked a continuance of the undefeated record of the Pirates, and sent them another step forward in their quest for the national title. The game with the Morgan Bears, scheduled for Saturday, will have great bearing on that achievement. TWELVE Semi-H Morgan Bears W Defeats Howard Seasiders, "Under Wraps" Eleven; Richmond and Hampton; Williams, Ga Restricted to straight football ing eyes of a watching Morgan Co- tute's Pirates drove to a 28-0 v Bisons at the Howard Stadium, la approximately 3,500 spectators sav of the efforts of like Richmond, showed itself superior to Howard The victory marked a continua Pirates, and sent them another s national title. The game with the day, will have great bearing on tha Richmond, aided by the stellar ball-toting of Weatherford and Culler, and the former's punting, smothered the local eleven under a mass of four touchdowns. Williams alone was the consistant offensive threat of the Bisons. Booker Gaither, giant freshman substitute tackle from Kentucky, was easily the best bet of the Washingtonians's defense. End runs, line plunges and off-tackle thrusts completed the variety of plays used by the invading machine. Head Coach Gid Smith, guarding against the possibility of showing the Morgan squad, whom the Seasiders play next Saturday, anything in the way of Hampton's deceptive offense, had ordered straight football as the order of the day. It was enough to defeat Howard It might be possible that the locals, weakened by injuries which kept Ware, Skelton and Walker on the bench, might have otherwise put up a better battle. It was not until late in the second quarter that the visitors were able to push over a touchdown. This followed a sustained drive of 80 yards from getting possession of the ball after a touchback. Richmond was let loose, the Arkansas dynamo skirting both ends and tackles alternately with only a rest at intervals when some other back was called upon to carry the ball. The march was climaxed as Culler went over from the 7-yard line for the touchdown. A pass interception by Weatherford paved the way for the second score. The Seaside substitute halfback snatched Suttler's intended heave to Holloman to give Hampton the ball on the Howard 30-yard chalk mark. Two plays later, Richmond passed to Carter for a net gain of 34 yards and touchdown. The remaining two scores came late in the game, the second one just beating the gun by three minutes. Backed up to her goal line, Howard lost the ball on downs attempting to rush instead of to kick the ball. Two runs by Weatherford totaling 20 yards and a 4-yard advance of the ball by Baker sandwiched in between gave the invaders their twentieth point. Richmond drop-kicked the extra point. A fumble of the kick-off paved the way for Hampton to drive to her fourth touchdown. Howard (0) Hampton (28) Chandler . . . L.G. . . . Hamm Crichlow . . . L.F. . . . Hill Coles . . . L.G. . . .

Unthank kick off. Howard, Bison right end, receiving on the local 15-yard line. He returned to the Blue and White 28-yard strip. Hollowman fumbled but recovered. He returned to the Hampton right tackle and reversed his field nicely for a run of 32 yards to the Hampton 45-yarder. Hollowman got 4 yards over his left tackle, but this gain was lost in a 5-yard penalty called against Howard or back in motion as the ball was stopped. Saunders, visiting center, broke through on the next play to smear Johnson before the Bison captain-halfback could move. Suttler kicked. Howard downed the ball on the Hampton 25-yard stripe. Richmond tried the Hampton left tackle and meted a knock. Richmond tried his own left guard for a 12-yard gain, fumbled and recovered. Hooker failed on a thrust at center. So did Carter. Richmond punted into the Howard end zone for a touchback. After Hollowman had garnered it, the invading left guard will trestle. Tried his own left end, fumbling the ball in the middle of his jog, but retrieving it on the dead run. Johnson got 3 yards at left guard, but Suttler, on a delayed hit at the same point, failed to gain. Suttler rolled to the Hampton 27-yard marker. After Culler had knocked off 3 yards at left guard, Hooker tried to slide through the same place, but was stopped without a hitch. Richmond had poor point went outside at midfield. Bison had tackled it in the middle of an attempted triple pass and cross-buck. Williams lost 2 more yards on a thrust at left tackle, and the Culler was downed as he received the ball. Culler made 3 yards at left guard, and after Hooker had failed on a try at the same pince, added 8 more yards over the baseline. Williams was intercepted by Holloman, who ran to the Howard 42-yard tripe before being downed by Hooker, the original passer. A pass, Sutter to Holloman, was incomplete. After Williams had made 4 yards around his own right end. Howard, for that reason, was penalized 5 yards. Sutter kicked to the 49-yard Hampton field, and Williams made 21 yards. On the next play, Gather Bison substitute tackle, broke through and (Continued on Page 13) --- Sam's Scripts They tell me a Presidential proclamation was sought this year in an effort to have Thanksgiving celebrated one week earlier. The idea was to move the good ole day for gratitude showing from the last Thursday in November up to the twenty-third, so that more days would be allowed for the annual Christmas shopping rush. I could have gone them one better. My wish would have been to move it up a week and five days just for the sake of football tradition. You all know Thanksgiving is the day for good football. Well, now, just suppose it was this Saturday: Hampton-Morgan, attaboy; Wiley-Langston, ogegosh! Wil-berforce-Ala, State—Whoopee! A Turkey Dish from soup to nuts, I'd call it.

When the Bisons had succeeded in running ill' 145-pound Berry Williams to the state of ex- haustion, last Saturday, they had left four good tacklers. No, don't bother telling the coaches. Ho-hum! * * * * Thanks, Mr. Darnaby, for the following letter I presume was in reply to my complaint about fail- ing to get the result of the Chi- cago game, which I registered in last week's column: "I hope you will pardon my failure to wire you the result of the Tuskegee - Wilberforce football game which was played at Soldier Field, Chicago, October 21. "Your telegram was handed to me at the time Wilberforce had had the ball on our one-yard line, and I did not check the telegrams until late Saturday night, after I had regained my composure, at which time I felt the result of the game had reached you through the press. "Please be assured of my deep regret and I hope nothing like this will happen again. Mr. William Gibson (Personal) Baltimore, Md. Dear Friend Bill: Twice I inserted the credit line, last week, and twice it was removed. I'm velly veil solly. You know what I mean. SAM. P.S.—Now all you nosey guys who read this despite that crack in parenthesis—thrrrrr. Monday's game between Dunbar and Armstrong seems to be another "natural" in this two-length series between these two ancient rivals. Both teams have been pointing towards this clash, and Dunbar, considered somewhat weaker, enters the fray favorite by reason of its unblemished record. No defeats have been chalked up against the Poets thus far this season, and its victory over Howard High School all but established it as the ultimate South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference champion. As far back as the writer can remember, Pinderhughes has been favored with a strong defensive machine. Year in and year out the Crimson and Black mentor has had a team fully capable of holding its own against another team's threats. Westmoreland, on the other hand, has always experienced the good fortune of having at least one good offensive back dropped into his lap. This year has proved no exception. Anyone who desires to know who I pick to win, call Potomac 1667 and ask for me—I won't be there. Imagine if you can, Dizzy Dean, next to Art Shires as the most conceited personality in white organized baseball, pausing to pay tribute to another pitcher—one who is barred from Dean's profession because of the color of his skin—in Los Angeles, the other day. Satchell Paige, who a week before had fanned 18 of Dean's colleagues, was the black man thus honored. **** I see by the papers that Louie Watson's Bordentown Institute football team lost a game, last Saturday. Needless to say, that's news. Back in the "good ole days of pork chops and beans for to eat, and a cot and a sheet for to sleep on," there used to be a guy up on THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1933 HARRISON STARS AS TECH COMES FROM BEHIND Orange and Blue Half-back Leads Team to Victory in Late Drive Going into the lead in the last quarter, Coach Jack Young's Cardozo High School eleven found itself unable to withstand a determined Armstrong Tech offense which snatched victory from the grasp of the Clerks in the annual battle at Walker Stadium, Monday afternoon. The Generals finished on the long end of a 13-9 score after trailing 9-6 up to late in the period. The Business High School lads added a touchdown and successful extra point to an earlier safety shortly after the final quarter began. An Armstrong lead was thus wiped out, a fact which brought no little discomfort to the followers of the Orange and Blue. Bill Harrison, trusty halfback, of the Westmoreland crew, withdrawn from the game just a few moments before, was immediately rushed back into the contest. The Generals then began a drive from deep in their own territory from Cardozo's, and marched the ball down field to a touchdown and the consequent margin of victory. Harrison bore the brunt of this sustained attack. The play, without variation, sent him boring through the left side of the Cardozo line. Each rush netted substantial yardage and the series was climaxed by the score. Robinson was easily the outstanding star of the Rhode Island Avenue outfit. Big Blues Win 18-7 Over A. and T. College Eleven GREENSBORO, N.C.—In one of the most thrilling games witnessed here this season the Blue Ramblers of Bluefield, W. Va. defeated the A. and T. College eleven by the score of 18 to 7. Entering the game on an even basis the Ramblers soon displayed their superiority by a touchdown in the opening moments of the first period. However, it was not a walk away for the Ramblers for the Aggies, led by the "Pony Express" Morrow, who made 9 yards each time he carried the ball threatened the Rambler goal on several occasions. The Ramblers exhibited a beautiful imitation of the Notre Dam shift, with Banks and Adams during most of the running. Carmichael, left tackle stood on the defense. Morrow and Price did most of the Aggie offensive work, with Kennedy. Hargrave and Hursey standing out on the line. Victory Over Shaw Gives State First of Season PETERSBURG, Va. — The Virginia State College Trojans won their first football game of the season here last Saturday, defeating the tail-end Shaw team, with whom they had previously occupied the cellar in the conference standing, by a score of 13 to 0. The Trojans did not find a royal road to victory, however, for Coach Army Armstrong's scrappy Bears put up a determined fight, holding the victors for downs many times when their goal line was threatened. Three times the Shaw forwards stiffened to hold the Trojans within their own ten yard line. Although the game was fought almost entirely in Shaw territory it was not until the last five minutes of the final quarter that the Trojans were able to score. Dr. Caliver Is Third Local Man Named on Committee Dr. Ambrose Caliver, senior specialist in education, U.S. Department of the Interior, has been appointed a member of a national committee on a national outlook on education. Dr. Caliver is the third local man to be appointed on the committee. The other two are Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, and Dwight O. W. Holmes, dean of the College of Education, Howard University. This committee will meet and report at the Cleveland convention of the Department of Superintendence, February 24, March 1. The appointments were made by Paul C. Stetson, superintendent of schools, Indianapolis, and president of the Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association. Reservoir Hill named Watson. His team during those years of 1925 and 1927 carried on in much the same order that the New Jersey school has been doing ever since Watson left here and went to Bordentown. Since that time Howard has experienced year after year of indifferent success on the gridiron, while Watson has become a fixture at the military institution. Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune Despite all the advance publicity and the usual ballyhoo attendant to the annual Turkey Day gridiron festivities, the 1933 Howard-Lincoln football game promises to be a "fizzle"—full and complete. No titles are at stake, no honors can be achieved, no heights attained by victory. No discredit can befall, no criticism visited upon the loser. Neither of the two teams has shown anything in the way of football prewess during the respective schedules to date. Howard has won one game, which is one more victory than Lincoln has acquired. The two teams will go to Atlantic City prepared to do battle before a number of thousands of people, most of whom will care not whether the ball is on the 20-yard Howard line or behind the latrobe in Jalapa (wherever that is). The assemblage will be conscious only of the fact that the day is Thanksgiving and that the same thing that has been happening every Thanksgiving is slated to take place again. The same thing referred to here is the showing off of all the gaudy wraps and furs some bought, some rented just for this occasion. Unfortunately the promoters of the 1933 affair seem to have lost the significance of the comparatively small attendance at various grid games during the current season. They have evidently lost their power of observation to the extent of missing the effects of depression on the pocketbooks of those persons who will be called upon to make the thing financially self-sustaining. Whether the changes they have seen fit to make, both in time and place, will serve to help or hinder the cause is a matter of conjecture until after the occasion. At any rate, it can be safely said that the promoters are seeking to put the 1933 "Classic" over in a really "big way." The concensus of Washington opinion seems to be, however, that the Lincoln people made a mistake in each of the two changes. It seems to be a popular belief that the change of the time from day to night will hart the box-office as will also the transfer of the contest to the somewhat out-of-the-way New Jersey seashore resort. Many Negroes, compelled to return to government and other jobs on the morning after Thanksgiving will experience no little lack of willingness to attend an affair in Atlantic City which is held at night, thus requiring a strenuous drive (if they motor) back to the city in order to be prepared for the next day's duties. The rest they would ordinarily want before returning to work the day after a holiday is, therefore, not going to be voluntarily sacrificed. In addition to this feeling is the one that a more appropriate setting might have been chosen. Atlantic City, at all times a rather obscure railroad center and especially in the off-resort season, is difficult to reach. A long drive faces the motorist from Washington, and few people like to sacrifice the use of their automobiles on holidays. On the other hand, there are many who do not wish to motor in congested holiday traffic. For that reason inadequate train connections will not serve as an inducement. All of this, of course, has the interest of the Washington government worker—who must report to work (for work) on the first of December—at heart. That the affair will have its same social significance is not to be denied. A program, befitting the occasion, has already been planned and released by the entertainment committee in charge of that end of the proceedings. But a trip—either through a maze of holiday motor traffic or by way of uncertain railroad transportation—to a night game in Atlantic City hasn't apparently struck the right chord in the hearts of Washingtonians. They are not sufficiently enthused to face the incident hardships in order to see THIS YEAR'S Howard-Lincoln football act. Then, too, there is little or no excuse to wear foxes, and squirrels and seals at an indoor game. And if the missus don't have any reason to go, well, there just ain't no going—thasall.

TICKETS | RESERVED SEATS | $1.10, $1.65 BOX SEATS | $1.65 The Northeast A.C. football team eclipsed Ebenezer, Sunday, by a 2-0 score, thereby creating one of the biggest up-sets in this season's sandlot football league play. Three other league games were played with favorites coming out on top. Not only did the Northeast victory drop Ebenezer to third place, but it elevated the winners to fourth position. St. Cyprian, by virtue of its 39-0 victory over the Teddy Bears, advanced to second place, while Willow Free triumphed over the Monarchs, 13-0, to take the undisputed league lead and pushed the Monarchs down to sixth standing. Anacostia retained its position by defeating Georgetown, 13-0. Sunday, St. Cyprian meets the Monarchs at Anacostia. Georgetown plays the Teddy Bears on the Monument Grounds and Northeast and St. Cyprian engage on the field at Four-and-a-Half and Main Streets, Southwest.

Amid the cheers of a spirited student body and a crowd of grid fans who had braved the cold night air to witness the spectacle, the Bears chalked their seventh victory of the season. To date the Bears have not lost a game, nor have they been scored on. The North Carolinians' hope mounted when they learned that Tank Conrad was not included in the opening line-up. Their hope was short lived, however, when in the first five minutes of play, Wild Bill Simpson, Conrad's substitute, hurled a forward to Sturgis, netting a first down and, on the following play, received a lateral from Sturgis, bringing the Bears within 17 yards of the Eagles' goal. Simpson plunged off tackle to the 8-yard stripe and from there Sturgis plunged through the Eagle forward wall for a touchdown. Morgan failed to kick the extra. The North Carolina aggregation, although somewhat outclassed, offered a stout resistance to the onslaught of the Bears. Dooms accounted for several of the Eagles' substantial gains through his completion of Malones' forward passes. Holmes and Alston were outstanding on the Eagles' line while Bryant and Smith ripped off a series of short gains and held up the backfield. Morgan's regular, backs repeated their outstanding work of previous games. The line played its usual game and the substitutes performed well. Morgan N. C. State Gibson . . . L.E.

The score, however, was no indication of the supremacy of the Maroon Tigers as TallaDEGA never advanced beyond the 50-yard zone despite a futile effort to score in the last quarter with long passes, laterals and tricks that Morehouse stopped at every turn.

AHMBA RAHIB 2221 12th St, N.W. Washington, D.C. The former Pleasant Plains outfit, which last year won the District of Columbia title, and thus far this year has an unbroken string of victories, has selected the Virginia Park for the scene of all its remaining home games. The clash with the Baltimoreans will be the initial appearance of the Jackets on their newly adopted "backyard." The Royals come to the city highly recommended. Boasting of a group of former Douglass High School and Morgan College ex-stars the invaders have expressed a confidence in their ability to take the measure of the Capital Cityans. They were undisputed in their claim of the Memorial City sandlot title last year. In pursuance of the determination to give Washington the best attractions available; Ducky Kemp, business manager of the Yellow-jackets, has carded the Rinky Dinks, another stellar Baltimore aggregation, for a local appearance next Sunday. The Rinky Dinks, although warded off in their quest for the Maryland gonfalon last year, have been materially strengthened by a general house-cleaning. New faces in the line-up have made Baltimore conscious of the presence of another worthy contender for this year's crown. Negotiations were under way, early this week, to have members of the Eastern Board of Officials to handle the two games. Both games are slated to start at 2 o'clock. Commandeurs Reorganize With Formidable Line-up PHILADELPHIA, Penna.—The Commandeurs, one of the country's ranking basketball teams from 1929 to 1932, although inactive last year, will return to court competition with a veteran, giant squad, reinforced by a number of excellent players, under the original management of Chick Edwards.

With ANDY ANDERSON A special screening of "Footlight Parade," the newest movie spectacle made by Warner Bros., was held for newspapermen at the Raphael Theatre last Friday night, and after viewing the film, the critics were unanimous in declaring it one of the biggest pictures yet screened, both as to quality and colorful settings. Five new tunes feature the flicker, and the best of them all is "By a Waterfall," done to the most artistic of settings. Dick Powell, Jimmy Cagney and Ruby Keeler, with Joan Blondell have the hit roles. Meanwhile, on U Street, the Lincoln is offering Ralph Cooper and his band in a very colorful stage show. Featured with Cooper's San Domingo orchestra are Larry Seymour and Margaret Sims, songsters; Eddie Matthews and Clarence Green, comics; Monet Moore, prima donna; Conway and Parks, again offer their rhythmic tap dancing; while Rookie Davis, a bundle of energy, who was once teamed with Joyce Robinson, dancer whom many here remember, was the real hit of the stage show, with her eccentric steps and crazy comedy. This is an act which the Lightmans would do well to hold over for another week. Lavish scenery and elaborate costumes form an unusual background for a chorus of twelve pretty chaines, who do some neat high stepping and soft shoe work. The Mae West "I'm No Angel" is recommended to everyone. Miss West dominates the film, completely, and no more need be said for that. The newspaper film, "Hold the Press," at the Republic, was a little weak, but the story was good in spots. At the Howard Fletcher Henderson and his band, with Henry Allen, Jr., as a new member, was the feature, but the laurels for the best performance go equally to Sweet Papa Garbage Rodgers, and to a pair of youthful tap dancers, billed as "Chuck and Chuckles," who execute most efficiently many new steps, interspersed with abrupt comedy punctuations which go over big. These lads are really good, Praise also is due one young dancer, the lithe and agile Ella Mae Waters, who hails from the Coast in California, after working with Earl Dancer and his units, and also doing bits of dancing in "Roman Scandals" soon to be released. Miss Waters was with Irving C. Miller's Brown Skin Models until she got into bigger circles in the Pacific area. Her dance specialty takes neatly over heaul in these parts. We like her work. The Henderson orchestra, I must say, was not performing up to standard when I heard it, but it no doubt improved as the week went on. Jackie Young, dashing little soubrette, sings and dances. Johnny Virgil makes an errant master of ceremonies, while Viola McCoy does the torching.

The picture, directed by Richard Boleslavsky, is a swift, racy modern story three girls who follow different paths to desired happiness. They all work in the same beauty salon where itimate boudior secrets are revealed within its walls. It is here many hilarious situations develop. The drama in which the triangular love episode is featured is enacted by Madge Evans, Alice Brady and Otto Kruger. Una Merkel plays a gold-digging role and Phillips Holmes is cast as a youthful philanderer. May Robson achieves another in table mother characterization. Others in the splendid cast are Eddie Nugent, Hedda Hopper, John Roche and others. The production abounds with lavish settings, especially in the beauty salon, which is the last word in elegance of this kind. The backstage scenes in this establishment are intimate and amusing.

It looks very much like "The Wunder Bar" is doomed to go into non-existence, since the gangsters from downtown have begun making a buzzard's nest out of it, what with killings, and then going so far as to threaten Courtney Thomas, sepia waitress there.

In "The Black Camel," "Charlie Chan's Chance" and "Charlie Chan Carries On" he created a following equalled by no other. Warner Oland, premier portrayer of Chinese characters, has established himself so well in this role that the name of Charlie Chan has become synonymous with his own. Oland as the actor and Biggers as the author are joined again by Hamilton MacFadden, director of "The Black Camel" and others. The leading feminine role in the picture is portrayed by Heather Angel. In America's first glimpse of her in "Pilgrimage" she proved herself a real potentiality for screen stardom. The supporting cast, headed by Roger Inhoff and John Warburton, includes Walter Byron.

From every standpoint. "I'm No Angel" to play the Booker T. for the entire week beginning Friday, November 17, is a better picture than its predecessor. Miss West is even more colorful as Tira, the Million Dollar Beauty, who tames savage lions and men with equal facility than she was as the diamond, bedecked Lady Lou.

At a conference held in Cambridge recently, in which Chief Justice Joseph F. Bailey took part, it was agreed to summon the grand jury within the next three weeks. Assisting Atty. General William P. Lane, Jr. attended the conference. It is thought to have been arranged as a result of a conference held in Governor Richie's office last Friday. The attorney general is thought to have become convinced that enough evidence had been uncovered to warrant presenting the matter to the grand jury. The conspiracy of silence which enveloped the country after the lynching was first persecuted made it impossible to get evidence enough to convict the participants. it had been previously reported.

The courts were condemned for failure to do their duty in the report which said "Both mobs were made up largely of Tuscaloosa people. Many in the community know their identities and a really vigorous indictment would have been productive of indictments. The fear of "communism" gaining headway among Negroes which caused "hysteria" among the poor white population, as well as the more aristocratic elements was blamed for the outburst.

Mrs.Beulah Jones Again Accused of Improper Conduct BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL MATE MAKES SAME CHARGE MADE BY SCHOOL TEACHER Action Follows Divorce Suit Claiming He Deserted Her For the second time with only a few days intervening, Mrs. Beulah Jones, of 2219 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, has been accused in legal proceedings of improver relationship with Robert K. Polk, of 940 T Street, Northwest, a mail carrier. The first allegation against Mrs. Jones was made, recently by Mrs. Daisy Polk, of 1006 S Street. Northwest, a teacher of the Toner Health School. In a petition for an absolute divorce from her husband, Polk claimed that he and Mrs. Jones had registered as man and wife in a New Jersey boarding house on two different occasions. Both Mrs. Jones and Polk denied all charges of misconduct. Followed this action. Mrs. Jones then instituted a suit for divorce against her own husband, William A. Jones, an employee of the Government Printing office. She accused him of clandestine love affairs with other women, desertion, cruelty, gambling, and other things. "Bought Her Two Autos" In filing his answer, last week, Jones made the second accusation against his wife's alleged conduct with Polk, which was substantially the same as that of Mrs. Polk. In making denials of certain of his wife's charges, Jones also made her and Polk defendants in a cross bill. Jones denied that he refused to take his wife to places of amusement, but insists that he bought autos on two different occasions for her pleasure. He stated that she, however, preferred to ride in other people's autos. The government employee also denied causing his wife embarrassment by being seen out in public with other women. In regards to any man having threatened him about his wife, Jones vehemently disclaims knowledge of such an incident. Had No Heavy Losses Passing to the next point, Jones enters a denial to the accusation that he is an inveterate gambler and has had heavy losses. He contends that if this were true, he would not have been able to buy two automobiles, maintain his home, and make the mortgage payments. So far as promising his wife that he would reform, Jones insists that this was never done because his conduct was of such nature as to make it unnecessary for such a question to arise. Whatever mortgages were placed on their home was for the purpose of making improvements or paying taxes, not for paying off gambling losses. Jones states further. He continues that he only refused to pay interest curtailment of the trust notes against him was when he found out that his wife was having clandestine meetings with the co-respondent named. Jones left on October 5, 1931, not October 23, 1931, as the wife's petition stated, the petition states, because he believed her to be untrue. The government man avers that he talked with his wife about her clandestine affairs, told her that he was going to leave, and suggested some nisposition of the gested some disposition of the negotiations, the husband is said to have received $375 as his portion. This, the petition declares, nowwhere represents the equity the husband had in the house as practically all of the money that went into it was earned by him at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and by an odd job, covering a period of about ten years. Left Furniture to Wife He stresses that his wife, who earns from $110 to $120 a month, could not have, had a large equity to say nothing of paying for furniture for the six rooms which he valued at about $3,000. Jones claims that when they agreed upon separation, the wife got all of his equity and the household goods as well. The petition states that he earns approximately $150 a month in the government service, subject to the 15 per cent pay cut, 3½ per cent for retirement, and $5.40 a month union dues which he is compelled to pay. Charges Coincide Charges Concide In his cross bill, Jones accuses his wife and Polk, the mailman, of misconduct at the boarding home of Mrs. Lulu Pierce, 135 West Young Avenue, Wildwood, N.J. He charges them with having registered at the place as Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brown, on August 17, 18, 19, 20, 1932. He continues that they repeated the act at the same place on August 2, 3, 4, 5, 1933, registered under the same name. The particulars of the dates and places coincide with those given by Mrs. Polk in her divorce suit against the mail carrier and Mrs. Jones. Jones asks that the court give him an absolute divorce, deny his wife any kind of alimony fees, and tax Polk the costs of the suit. He is represented by Nita S. Hinnan.

Mrs. Hill was accorded a tremendous ovation when she spoke on the evening's program. imant factor in handling or recommending the expenditure of relief funds for medical care, and the like. It just so happens that for any doctor to become a member of the American Medical Association that he first must secure the endorsement of the county and state groups, and in the south, as all readers know, it would be practically impossible for a colored doctor or dentist to secure these endorsements and thus become affiliated with the national group. For the same reason it can be readily seen that in the south it would have been possible for the colored doctor or dentist to be deprived of any appreciable share of the relief business which would ultimately find its way into the hands of white practitioners exclusively. The Committee on Medical Economics, of the association, the colored group, immediately sensed and feared that such a probability would occur and took steps to insure a just proportion of the relief business to be acquired by the colored practitioners. Only recently members of the committee journeyed to Washington, and discussed the matter pro and con with the Relief Administration heads in Washington, and through the courtesy of high Washington officials, including that of Secretary of the Interior Ike's Negro Advisor, Dr. Clark M. Foreman, the committee was able to reach an understanding, whereby yassurances were given that the Relief Administration would cooperate with the National Medical Association and thus, particularly in the southern districts, the colored practitions will be assured of as much of the relief fund expenditures as the Negro patients themselves care to give them as each patient is to have the privilege of securing his or her own private physician or dentist.

NMA JOINS UP WITH GOVERNMENT BODY FOR RELIEF Colored Doctors to Utilize Facilities Offered by Administration By Clifford C. Mitchell In these days when the patronage to be derived from governmental charity is rapidly becoming one of the best paying industries it is commendable that there are groups in the Negro field that are watching these activities and ever fighting for a chance for the Negro to be represented in such a way that he too will share in the dispensation of charitable funds which are but a part of the tax bill that the Negro himself contributes. There are many groups in the colored field all of which are waging a worthy fight but this story particularly has to deal with the efforts of the National Medical Association, a national association composed of Negro doctors and dentists throughout the country, af which Dr. M. O. Bousfield, is president. One of the first acts of Dr. Bousfield, as president of this association, was to form the committee on medical economics of the National Medical Association. This committee consists of Dr. Peter M. Murray, New York, chairman; Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, Washington, D.C. Dr. W. G. Alexander, Orange, New Jersey; Dr. Jl E. Kenny, Newark, New Jersey; Dr. Clyde Donnell, Durham, N. C., Dr. Wm. J. Thompson, Kansas City and Dr. Julian H. Lewis, Chicago. In the month of September, Harry L. Hookins, Federal Emergency Relief Administrator, with offices at 1734 New York Avenue, announced that in the expenditure of relief funds for indigent cases that his organization would work in harmony with recognized medical groups. This would, of course, mean that normally the American Medical Association, a national association with a definite program worked out along national, state and county lines would be the dom- $59 $98 CLASSIFIED Simply Phone POT. 1667. For Results CITES NEED FOR SANITORIUM FOR T.B. CHILDREN Deplorable Conditions in Homes Told By Head of Association The Children's Tuberculosis Clinic, which is conducted at 301 C Street, Northwest, by the Health Department in cooperation with the District of Columbia Tuberculosis Association, this week reported that 812 children had been examined at the clinic from May 1 to October 26. Of this total number examined, 22.6 per cent were diagnosed as suffering from childhood tuberculosis, and a number were found to have pulmonary tuberculosis. "These facts make unquestionable the need of opening the sanitarium for tuberculous children at the earliest possible moment," said Mrs. Ernest R. Grant speaking for the Tuberculosis Association, "Reports made by the nurses at the Children's Clinic show clearly that in practically every instance the child suffering from tuberculosis infection comes from a home where there is an active case of this communicable disease." 5 Children in Family Infected "Out of a great mass of reports made by the nurses regarding the seriousness of conditions in these homes from which the tuberculous children from which I should like to present briefly two or three examples which are not exceptions to the rule. "A father, mother and eight children were found living in an unsanitary house. The mother was suffering from active tuberculosis. The father, having had the disease, was at the moment an arrested case. The nurse persuaded the parents to send the children to the clinic where five of the eight were diagnosed as suffering from tuberculosis. The home conditions were so serious that the Emergency Relief was called in to provide more adequate food and milk." 10 in Family "In another terribly neglected home the nurse found a family of ten children, one having just died of tuberculosis. The mother was struggling hard against overwhelming odds. The father was in the advanced stages of tuberculosis. Six of the children, aged three to ten, were found upon examination to be infected with this communicable disease. The four ONE LARGE ROOM, newly papered and painted, in quiet family.

Ordered to Move "Another typical family consisting of a father, mother and three children were found by the nurse to be living in such a bad house that the Emergency Relief upon notification immediately moved the family. The children on examination were all three found to have childhood tuberculosis. The two of school age were sent to the Health School which provides daytime care five days a week for this type of child. "And so the story goes on and on. Over twelve hundred children in Washington, D.C., have been diagnosed as suffering from tuberculosis infection. In practically every case of disease can be traced back to an advanced pulmonary patient living in the home." HALF A MILLION DOLLARS ASKED FOR BY SCHOOL Tuskegee Institute Seeks $500,000 from the Advisory Board MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A tentative discussion of a $500,000 loan for a construction and improvement program for Tuskegee Institute featured the Thursday hearing of the state public works advisory board in Montgomery.
