F. Struder, beaten about the head and body with his club and kicked, dragged to a patrol, taken to a hospital and later charged with "assaulting an officer and disorderly conduct." Helpless Woman Kicked Mrs. Grace Humes, 918 E Street, Southwest, stated that she witnessed the attack and related in detail how the policeman who appeared to be insane vented his wrath on the helpless woman as she lay unconscious on the ground. While on the ground she said that the officer kicked her several times despite her pleas. Mrs. Eva Moxley, 428 Ninth Street, stated that she also saw the uncalled for attack and when she approached the officer he arrested her and took her to the station and placed a charge of interfering with an officer in making an arrest against her. This charge was dismissed in the police court Monday morning, and the $10 collateral she had posted was returned to her. ```markdown ``` Both women stated that the policeman appeared maddened and irrational.

One was addressed to his companions in the death row, another to his mother, and the third to Joseph A. Berberich, of the St. Vincent De Paul Society, who waged a strong but losing battle for his life. The messages were handed by the doomed youth to a guard as he walked to the electric chair.

George Hatch, 34, of 1623 First Street, Northwest, was fatally shot by one of three youthful bandits who held up him and John Waters, of 3019 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, near Eighth and T Etreets, early Thursday morning. The two were accosted as they were about to enter Waters's auto parked on Eighth Street, just south of T Street, about 1:45 a.m. One of the footpads wearing a green overcoat faced the pair with a pistol, the other two standing in the rear. Waters was forced to hand over $32.50. Just as Hatch was about to be frisked, one of the culprits in the rear fired a bullet, without warning of apparent motive. The pellet struck Mr. Hatch in the back just above the right hip. The robbers fled to a 1929 Cheyrolet coupe, parked near the scene, and escaped by driving out Eighth Street. Waters and John H. Gilbert, of 301 R Street, Northwest, rushed Hatch to Emergency Hospital in Water's machine. The wounded man was pronounced dead at 3 a.m. Waters told officers of the Second Precinct that the trio of robbers appeared to be between the ages of 27 and 30 years. He also stated that he thought he would be able to identify the men who committed the crime. Detectives Sweeney and Mahaney were assigned to the case and are tracing down all clues.

The group of five witnesses, including the representative of The Tribune, sat down in chairs, two rows of four each, raised off about midway of the hall.

Four whites have been lynched this year out of a total so far of twenty-five. Two white men, Harvey Winchester and Jerome Boyett, were lynched June 9; 1933, at Huntsville, Tenn.

For forty-six years he served as teacher in the old Snowden and Parker Gray schools and was one of the most prominent men in the city. The body was found in bey by his niece, Miss Dorsey, who summoned medical aid and life was pronounced extinct. He apparently had been dead two hours. The bullet entered his right temple. Dependency over the death of a nephew in Washington recently was ascribed as motive for his act. He left a note telling of the whereabouts of insurance policies. For a number of years Mr. Lyles was employed at the Belle Haven Golf and Country Club. Detective Sergeant George Everly investigated the case. Coroner Walter E. Beattie deemed an inquest unnecessary. Mr. Lyles is the father of Mrs. Etta Lyles Booker, of Washington, whose son is making a name for himself as an organist. TRENTON, N.J. (Special to The Tribune)—William Allen, of Trenton, N.J., the man who found the baby of Col. Charles Lindbergh, has been appointed by Governor A. Harry Moore, of New Jersey, as a ward man in the State Home for Girls at Trenton. Although Lindbergh was anxious to find his baby after it had been kidnapped and a world-wide search was being instituted for it, the colonel hardly thanked Allen for findind the body of the child. Not Even Thanked Many thought Allen would be hand lonely rewarded by the rich Lindbergh as the man that started the world with the discovery of the dead baby was the poor father of a large family. He tried to make some money by appearing on the stage, but he was not permitted to cash in on his popularity as the man to find the famous child of the Lindberghs.

A beautiful setting, free from the usual cold and gloom of a typical Thanksgiving failed to attract more than this number despite hopes on the part of Lincoln promoters that the unique stage selected by them would draw a record crowd. Howard won the fuss, 13 to 7. It was largely through the efforts of Howard's dependable Showbowl Ware that the capital city aggregation counted its first touchdown early in the game. But the fact that Laynard Holloman, plugging halfback, was the outstanding star of the game by virtue of his 38-yard run to touchdown in the opening minutes of the final period is not to be denied. The Greensboro, N.C., youngster snatched a pass from the fingers of Stumpy Penn, deadly Lion passer, and toted it over his goal line for what finally proved to be the winning marker.

BUTLER'S GARAGE FREE TOWING N. D. BUTLER'S GARAGE STARLING 9357 FIX IT FREE TOWING REAR.1145 211STN We repair all types of Cars. Electric and Automotive Welding LAW MAKERS AROUSED TO HALT FIENDS Senators of Both Parties Announce They Will Advocate Legislation Congress will consider enactment of a federal anti-lynching law when it convenes in January as a result of recent mob action in California and Maryland. Senators of both parties said today that they will advocate effective legislation on this subject. Though plans for formulating a measure have not been completed, revival of the Dyer bill imposing penalties on counties whose law officers fail to protect prisoners from mobs has been suggested. The American Civil Liberties Union is drafting proposed legislation. "I shall vote and work for an effective anti-lynching act," said Sen. Bert Wheeler (D., Mont.). "Such a measure must be Federal, since local communities' law machinery often becomes paralyzed by intimidation from mobs." Must Curb Mobs "The growing menace of mobs and lynchings must be curbed," said Sen. Shipstead (F.-L., Minn.) "I favor the early passage of a Federal anti-lynching law." "Law and order must replace mob violence," said Sen. Kean (R., N.J.) "The lynching of the Hart kidnapers and the 100 per cent increase in lynchings this year are unworthy of our civilized state. I favor, passage of a Federal anti-lynching law immediately after Congress meets. This is the only way to end disgraceful mob rule." 26 Lynchings The two California lynchings bring the total for this year to 26. This compares with only 10 lynchings for the whole of 1932. It is the worst record since 1926, when 38 persons were lynched. Backers of such a move point to the unusual success attending Federal aid in capture of kidnapers. The two men lynched in San Jose were captured with the help of Federal operatives working from Washington under the so-called "Lindbergh Law." According to the Justice Department Division of Investigation there have been 15 major kidnapings since the Lindbergh Law was passed on June 22. In every case arrests have been made, although in several cases minor suspects escaped. As a result of these 15 crimes one kidnaper has been executed, 10 are serving life, and altogether 382 years of sentences have been imposed. Under the Federal extortion law 20 persons have been captured and are serving 111 years in all.

Although General Johnson failed to mention them in his numerous codes, the still-tenders of the county have come out 100 per cent for the NRA shorter hours and higher wages. News of the moonshiners raising aloft the Blue Eagle was brought here yesterday by a city official who returned from a trip through the county. While purchasing a jar of "ole Virginia cawn" the official was informed that the new price was $1.50 and that the rise was due to the NRA. He thought the 'shiner was kidding and told him so. The dealer explained it this way: "These Negroes heard about these codes. Instead of working them from 7 at night until 7 in the morning for 15 cents per hour, I now have to pay them 30 cents an hour and put extra men on the job." MISTRIAL DENIED AS SCOTTSBORO CASE BEGINS Courtroom Crowded With Newspapers Inciting Lynching; Defense Loses Tiff DECATUR, Ala.—Surrounded by citizens who flaunted southern journals with screaming headlines of the California and Missouri lynchings, and the Maryland rebellion, Heywood Patterson, one of the seven colored defendants in the Scottsboro assault case, went on trial for his life, early this week. Court opened with Judge W. W. Callahan presiding over a scene which plainly boded evil for both the defendant and his attorney, Samuel S. Leibowitz. The first legal skirmish of the week was won by the prosecution when defense counsel's request for a mistrial declaration was denied by the court. Leibowitz made the request when Judge Callahan upheld the state objections to his type of questioning Lester Carter, a principal defense witness. Leibowitz had asked Carter if he and Jack Tiller had been in company with Ruby Bates and Victoria Price, alleged victims in the gondola car assaults, the night before the girls began their hobo trip at Huntsville, Ala. "That said Judge Callahan, referring to Leibowitz's question "was a vicious attempt to get illegal evidence before the jury." He then sustained Knight's objection. Leibowitz was again the loser in a verbal tiff when Mrs. Victoria Price, the principal witness against the boys, was on the stand and undergoing cross-examination. Mrs. Price described numerous injuries she said were received during the alleged attacks. "I object to the court interrupting." Leibowitz said, as Judge Callahan said, "She has answered." The objection was overruled and The objection was overruled and an exception taken. Mrs. Price had answered in the middle of a question. The court frequently had to interpret words Leibowitz pronounced to Mrs. Price. After 42 minutes on the stand she was excused and W. W. Hill, station agent at Paint Rock, Ala, where the colored boys and the girls were taken from the train, was called.

Friday, and have to spend the week-end in jail. Haywood was released early this week through the intercession of Benjamin L. Gaskins, who is representing the wife in her petition for a limited divorce from the State Department employee. Mrs. Haywood instituted the original action on July 12, claiming that her husband had deserted her on June 23. On August 11, Justice Cox ordered Haywood to pay $27 a month in two bi-monthly installments to Mrs. Haywood's attorney. Amount Owed Was $33.75 About two weeks later, Justice O'Donoghue honored a petition to have Haywood show cause why he was not in contempt of court for failure to keep up his alimony. Haywood wriggled out by paying his current indebtedness, but found himself confronted with another rule to show cause signed by Justice Letts, November 13. When he failed to make payment of $33.75, Justice Letts ordered him to jail. Friday, for 30 days or until such time as he had purged himself of the said contempt. The Haywoods were married in Rockville, Md., February 4, 1931. The couple have a young daughter. SCOTTSBORO BOYS ENDANGERED BY ROLPH STATEMENT I.L.D. Seeks Impeachment of California Governor and Arrests NEW YORK—Repeated demand for a statement from President Roosevelt of the national administration policy on lynchings was coupled with a demand for impeachment of Governor Rolph of California and use of federal forces for the arrest of the lynchers of Holmes and Thurmond, in a wire sent to the President, this week, by William L. Patterson, national secretary of the International Labor Defense. Reports from Decatur, Ala., where the Scottsboro boys are now on trial, and where the LLD. charges preparations are being made with the connivance of state officials to lynch them, their attorneys and witnesses, are that the crowds attending the trial are inflamed by huge headlines in the Birmingham papers announcing Rolph's justification of lynching, and that the papers are seen in the courtroom.

Mr. Bramlette has indicated that he will fight his wife's suit which demands alimony and payment of solicitor's fees. Mrs. McDonald is a twin sister to Mrs. V. D.

WHITE OFFICER CLUBS HELPLESS YOUNG WOMAN Citizens Protest Attack by Policeman on Unconscious Girl (Continued from page 1) to appear in court to answer the charges that Struder had placed against her. Mrs. Moxley stated that after reaching the preclinet station the officer wanted to make her post $100 collateral, but the desk sergeant upraided him and stated that $10 was the usual amount for such offenses. Blood Flows Freely "The woman was bleeding about the head and body. Blood was pouring from a cut on her head. I saw him knock her down and kick her and strike her over the head with his club as she was in an apparent unconscious condition on the ground," said Mrs. Humes. The association appointed a committee headed by John F. N. Wilkinson, public school official, to present a protest to Captain Jeremiah Sullivan, commander of the precinct, and if action is not taken against the officer to carry the protest to Superintendent Brown "and to Congress if necessary." It was pointed out at the meeting that. Inspector Headley had been advised of the attack, but members stated that he has always shown prejudice in such cases and it was useless to consult him further. Woman Was Ill The alleged attack is said to have taken place at Ninth and E Streets about 2 p.m. Mrs. Humes said the officer without provocation walked up to Miss Tabbs and struck her. Her mental condition evidently gave the impression that she was under the influence of liquor. The committee appointed by the association has been ordered to make a thorough investigation and make every effort to have the policeman punished. Many citizens in the vicinity of the attack telephoned police headquarters during the attack and Headley and several headquarters officers were sent to the scene. John T.

Memphis Discriminates Against White Crap Shooters MEMPHIS, Tenn.—(ANP)—Local white crap shooters are viewing with sardonie disdain an order issued last week by Police Commissioner Davis whereby colored men caught shooting craps may obtain in their release from prison by the payment of $2 to the desk sergeants at the police stations. After they have done that, it is unnecessary for them to appear in court. White crapshooters, however, are still required to put up the usual forfeit of $10 and operators of gambling houses, a forfeit of $25. Fifty-six colored men arrested over the week-end obtained their freedom by paying two dollars. The new order enables the police department to save money on the feeding and care of such prisoners.

LAWYER QUESTIONS NEGRO NAMES Leibowitz Believes Listing of Negroes for Jury Duty Improperly Done DECATUR. Ala.—Samuel S. Leibowitz, chief defense lawyer for the seven boys alleged to have attacked Victoria Price in the celebrated Scottaboro case, announced his intentions, early this week, of investigating fully, the authenticity of the listing of seven Negroes for jury duty in the trial. The naming of Negroes on the jury had presented a tedious legal battle prior to the opening of the trial, Monday. Leibowitz, dissatisfied with the list, asserted that an effort would be made to determine whether or not the names were original or forged. He said he had arranged for handwriting experts to come here by airplane today from New York to give expert testimony. Court officials from Jackson County identified as Negroes seven names on the list of qualified jurors from which the grand jury that indicted the defendants was drawn, while giving evidence on a defense motion to quash the indictment. Defense attorneys had based their plea on the contention that Negroes were barred from the grand jury because of their race, violating the 14th Amendment. TOO BUSY TO GO DOWN TOWN?

Supreme Court Upholds Lynch Frame-up CHARLOTTE, N.C.—That John Edwards, Negro boy fanned on charges of murdering a street-car conductor, must die December 8, was the decision of the State Supreme Court, to which the International Labor Defense has appealed the case. The Supreme Court previously had made it appear it would not take up the appeal until next spring, in order to divert the growing mass movement of white and Negro workers around the demand for life and freedom for Edwards. A campaign to stop this execution is being immediately organized by the LLD. here.

Rhodes of Bishop College has just returned to the city, after ten days trip, on which he filled engagements in Washington, D.C., New York City, New Haven, Conn., and Chicago. In Washington he delivered the keynote address opening the eighteenth annual session of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. He is a life member of the association and one of its national directors. President Rhoads announced that the 1934 session of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History will be held in Texas Columbia Temple News By Ruth Marsey Powell The Columbia Temple Marching Club, *tended Salem Baptist Church, N between Ninth and Tenth treets, Northwest, last Sunday, where a sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Grimes, pastor. The club was the guest of the Dramatic Club headed by Daughter Yancey, of Columbia Temple. Daughter Eldora Lang responded to the welcome address. Daughter Luella Johnson read a selection entitled "What Have You Done Today?" A solo was sung by Daughter Persis Patterson. The barn and kiddie dance held at the Elks' Home, 301 Rhode Island Avenue, was a success. The members of the club are discussing plans for a military ball which will be given in January. Columbia Lodge By C. A. CORNISH Elks of Columbia Lodge is making plans for the annual election of officers to take place December 4. at the Masonic Temple. Captain Sylvester H. Epps, the present exalted ruler, who has successfully headed the lodge for two years, is not a candidate for reelection and is supporting the present esteemed leading knight, Allen A. C. Griffith in the race for exalted ruler. This ossures a regular rotation in station offices. Other candidates on the administration ticket are: Howard A. Walker, esteemed leading knight; Dr. Ernest Hardy, esteemed lecturing knight; Harry C. Smith, esteemed loyal knight; Clarence H. Akers, esquire; Andrew Allen, inner guard; John W. Swails, teller; Frank Gray, recording secretary; Lee Campbell, financial secretary; William M. Eatman, treasurer; Sylvester H. Epps, trustee; Edward W. Bunday, chairman of the housing committee, and ten examining physicians of the medical staff. Mr. Griffith is a native Washingtonian, born here in 1896, and has a wide experience in social, religious, and fraternal matters. The manner in which he has handled the charity funds of the lodge under the most distressing conditions the lodge has known, demonstrates his administrative and executive ability. He is receiving support from nine of eleven past rulers. H is also popular in Columbia Temple. A mass meeting will be held in the interest of the candidates, Sunday, at 4 p.m., in the Masonic Temple auditorium. BROTHER SLAYS BROTHER MEMPHIS, Tenn.—An argument over a letter from their sister, on Monday, resulted in Anderson Clay, 22, being fatally shot by his brother, Buster Clay, 24 years old. I Saw Them Burn Washington (Continued from page 1) slippers, Washington nonchalantly kicked them off and leaned back. Although it seemed like an age, the four attendants feverishly tightened the straps about the arms, legs, and chest of the youth. Another fitted the headpiece. Washington's voice was muffled as the leather mask was placed over his face, but the Rev. Pinn continued the singing, keeping time by motion of his arms. Body Surges Forward The guards stepped back. One raised his arm in signal to the unseen electrician. The hum of the dynamos generating the death fluid mingled with the singing of the minister; one a song of death, the other a song of life. Washington's body surged forward as if seeking to break the bonds and escape the fiery current. The motors continued to hum. A wisp of blue smoke arose ceiling-ward from the flesh on the right leg, where the electrode touched it. The motors continued to hum. Another wisp of smoke shot upward from Washington's head where the metal touched the scalp. The fingers, of the right hand curled around the arm of the chair. An odor of burning flesh reached the nostrils. The Rev, Mr. Pinn continued to sing. A guard raised his hand, the drone of the motors ceased. Washington's body sagged back in the chair. Guards unloosened the straps. Dr. MacDonald and Dr. Angervine, prison physician, applied their stethoscopes to the youth's chest. Pronounced Dead They stepped back. The guards stepped up and rebuckled Washington into the chair. Another signal and the drone of the motors was again heard. The body again surged against the straps as the deadly current chased through the flesh. After what seemed an are the hum stopped. The two physicians applied their stethoscopes to Washington's chest for the second time. "I officially pronounce Washington dead at 10:12 a.m." Dr. MacDonald spoke up. Carry Bad News After casting a backward glance at the inert form, the group of witnesses filed up the steps, across the rotunda, and out into the air. The Rev. Mr. Pinn, Mother Washington, social worker at the jail, and the writer traveled over to the little frame house at 410 Six-and-a-Half Street, Southwest, where Mrs. Mattie Washington, mother of the dead man, lives. A small group of sad-faced friends tried to console Mrs. Washington and her two daughters. The elderly woman hoped that the visitors were bringing tidings of a proverbial act which had saved her son's life as on previous occasions. Mother Collapses Questioned, the Rev, Mr. Pinn said nothing, but handed the elderly woman the Bible sent to her by Washington. Mrs. Washington collapsed in a heap, unconscious. It was feared at first that the shock had killed her. A doctor was summoned and she was revived after about one-half hour. One sister became hysterical. Mother Washington and friends of the family tried to console her. The other wring her hands and sobbed, "How could they kill him?" Up to near the last moment, Washington was hopeful of a commutation. An indication of his hopes are revealed by the following incident. The Rev, Mr. Pinn was reading the 27th Psalm to him. The minister approached the second verse containing the following words, "When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, come upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell." "See there," exclaimed Washington as he referred to the two instances when the President saved him, "My enemies stumbled and fell, didn't they?" Washington arose early Friday morning. He, with seven other men awaiting electrocution were administered communion by the Rev. Mr. Pinn from 9:15 to 9:45. He had previously eaten hearty of a breakfast which included eggs, hot muffins, country fried potatoes, and coffee. Hopes still swelled in his breast after Col. Rives read the death warrant, but his enemies triumphed. Two Fought Heroically Capt. M. M. Barnard, superinten- THREE THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1933 Santa Says: “Be Smart!

Berberich, of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, to the last minute to save Washington from the chair. On the day prior to the electrocution, Capt. Barnard wrote Mr. Berberich, "I feel that an injustice will be done if this boy is executed." The latter, who was instrumental in securing Washington's first presidential reprieve, sent a telegram to President Roosevelt in a last minute intercession just before Washington died. He waited in despair outside the jail in an automobile as Washington died. Throwing all his influence into the case Capt. Barnard alluded to an affidavit which Leonard Layton, now serving life at Lorton, on a commutation of sentence. Mentions Affidavit "At the time of the fatal shot," the penal head wrote, "was fired by Robinson," Layton swore. "Washington was about three feet away from me and behind me, leaving the taxicab, with his back toward the cab." The letter continued: "I have gone into the cases of these three men pretty thoroughly and talked to all three. The one that was executed admitted that he was the one who used the gun. Layton is here at this institution, his sentence having been commuted to life by the President. Asks Equal Consideration "I am unable to see the difference between this mah and Washington, the one who is to go tomorrow. Since Layton's sentence has been commuted, it would seem that Washington should be given the same consideration. I believe that if Washington could be permitted to come here as a life prisoner no one would ever have cause to regret. "Both Layton and Washington are equally guilty of being accessories to the crime, but both should be given the same consideration, and since Layton's sentence has been commuted it would seem that Washington should be given consideration. "While it has been my duty," continued Capt. Barnard, "to witness about 40 executions in my long career of prison work, I have only in two or three cases interceded in behalf of a man who was condemned, and I feel in this case that I would be justified in exercising my full influence in fairness to the man." Trustees Visit Virginia Union University RICHMOND, Va.—The people, black and white, of Richmond responded so splendidly to the appeal made last Spring by Virginia Union University for financial assistance that the president of the board of trustees, H. M. Fillebrown, felt that something should be done by the university to show its appreciation to the people who were responsible for the fine response made to the call. Following this lead, President William J. Clark arranged luncheons for the steering committees. At those gatherings, H. M. Fillebrown, Dr. Frank A. Smith, secretary of Education for the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and President Clark expressed their thanks to the men and women of the committees. Local Columnist in Division of Press Intelligence Laurence J. W.

At last a lynching which has focused attention nationally to this form of lawlessness being practiced more and more in this country has taken place. Perhaps now a wave of public opinion will cry crystalize itself as to make possible the national anti-lynch law so long hoped for by us—and by other law-abiding seeking citizens. The attitude of Governor James Rolph, Jr., of California in not only commending the lynchers but assuring them immunity if any officer in California should have the manhood to arrest the persons guilty of this horrible crime is inexcusable. Lynching is a far greater crime than kidnapping. To say the least, under no conditions, no matter what the crime should the right of fair trial be denied, those charged with its commission. How in the name of God's heaven can law and order be respected by the people if and when the chief executive of a state puts his official approval on the crime of lynching? At the same time Governor Rolph was praising "his lynching citizens," Governor Ritchie of Maryland was sending troops to Princess Anne, Md. to make arrests of alleged lynchers on a Negro, whom the local enforcement officers refused to arrest. Rolph is to be condemned and Governor Ritchie commended. Rolph should be impeached. Ritchie should be supported by all the fair thinking people of this country. We can add nothing to the statement of Dr. Will W. Alexander, president of the Southern Commission on Inter-Racial Relations, when he said: "As between lynching and kidnapping, lynching is the more serious crime of the two. It involves not a few individual criminals here and there, but enlists whole communities in orgies of violence and murder, in which law and civilization are lynched no less truly than the human victims. In recent months the authorities have demonstrated their ability to cope with the kidnapers, as they were doing in this case. On the contrary, the almost universal failure to convict lynchers indicates that lynching is a much more difficult crime to eradicate."

One who understands America explains easily the faulty logic, the emotional rhetoric, and the unsocial thinking of a man like Arthur Brisbane on such a social disease as lynching. When, however, an American newspaper syndicate, reaching millions of readers daily, and bent upon shaping the opinions and policies of the world's greatest nation, flagrantly and deliberately defends and preaches lynching, one stands aghast. Lynching is a cancer in the body politic and is without justification under any circumstances. Mob law, like cancer, is anarchy; it does not discriminate in its destruction. The victims, innocent of crime or guilty of atrocity, are tortured and mutilated, but the history of lynching indicates clearly that no social purpose is ever served by lynching. The roots of crime, the seeds of perverted and subnormal intelligence remain in the body politic to grow violently in the ashes of mob violence. Lynching and the crimes which it pretends to punish are the products of American civilization. Our philosophy of Rugged Individualism with its religion of Wealth, continues to overlook the social need of developing fully the productive capacities of all individuals on the one hand, and the detection and early control of anti-social individuals on the other. From the latter group, rich or poor, come the criminals. Those who have faith still in the intelligence of the American people, should make that faith felt by refusing to spend even a few pennies to support any newspaper that flagrantly and deliberately preaches lynching.

The position of judge of either the police court or the municipal court in the District does not carry with it the services of a teacher, to acquaint an appointee with his duties, but the position requires men of experience; men who are familiar with the law and practice it daily, and who can step in immediately out of private life into public life and "carry on" without hesitation, and I think the Washington Bar Association, after a little more thought, laying aside of personal grievances, and social aspirations, will admit that they pulled a "boner" in this case. That inner circle of the Negro race has pulled many such, and I believe the time is now ripe for them to do something right to overshadow their past actions.

To render a public service and at the same time expose the dereliction of teachers in Negro schools where the history and present status of the race are ignored the committee of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History recently appointed to outline such courses will extend this work. These educators will plan an integration of the treatment of the race with the other work of the curriculum. This is intended for those systems where distinct courses on the Negro are not authorized and for all those offering certain subjects in which a separate treatment may not be necessary. chinery, and Jan Matzeliger's living machine by which he revitalized the manufacture of sho throughout the modern world. Africa Influenced Greeian Art The teacher of fine art may just as effective in correlating with such work facts concerning Negro in the aesthetic sphere Starting with the European background, as is usually done, the structor can readily show the fluence of Africa on the art Greece by which the modern we is still influenced. The fine Afri workmanship in the preparation The committee is convinced that thorough instruction in this case is practically impossible, because of the difficulties experienced by most teachers in departing from text books, but every well informed instructor, whether engaged in teaching Negroes history or other subjects, should point out the possibilities of students in their special fields by reviewing the achievements of persons of African blood. Africans First to Use Stringed Instruments The teacher of music, the one in position to do some of the most inspirational work in the school, has the unusual opportunity to keep before the pupils the facts that Africans were the first to use stringed instruments and that the outstanding achievement in this field in America is accredited to the Niger. While other Americans, as a rule, have restricted themselves largely to the imitation of European music, the Negro with his folk music, especially with the spiritual has produced a work of art which now excites the admiration of the modern world. To cite numerous examples of those who have distinguished themselves in adaptation and rendition of this music is an easy matter. The teacher of dramatics, occupying from year to year a more conspicuous position in the training of the youth, also has such opportunity for correlating with this course what the Negro has achieved on the stage. The instructor should emphasize the fact that even during the days of slavery the Negro without training and without opportunity stealthily developed dramatic ability in minstrelsy. This was so appealing that the owners of plantations were favorably impressed thereby, and the theatrical managers sometimes called upon these Negro players to perform. Ira Aldridge, longing for greater opportunity at that time, left this country for Europe and made there his way to renown as a Shakespearean actor. It should be noted also that, given more opportunity after emancipation, a larger number of Negroes have developed into a higher stature in the histrionic sphere—men of sufficient ability to override race prejudice and sometime to win recognition not only in this country but abroad. Even in teaching the sciences and mathematics it will be an easy task to mention the highly developed calculating mind of the African to whom belongs credit for important beginnings in these spheres. Mathematics all but had its origin in ancient Africa. Science early developed there along with mathematics. The Bushmen and Hottentots knew enough chemistry to make poisoned arrows, and the natives discovered antidotes for these concoctions. Thousands of years ago people in the heart of Africa had discovered cures for snake-bite and blood poisoning. The greatest contribution of Afrians was to teach the world how to apply science in smelting and refining iron. The opportunity to present examples of Negroes who in spite of handicaps have shown ability in these fields should not be overlooked. Students should know of Thomas Fuller of Alexandria, Virginia. Although denied the opportunity to learn to read and write, he became an expert in mental arithmetic. The alert teacher will regard as significant the achievements of Benjamin Banneker as is shown by his being especially invited by Thomas Jefferson to assist in laying out Washington in the District of Columbia, by his publication of a series of almanacs, and by his making the first clock in the United States. In such a survey also mention must be likewise made of the Negroes of inventive genius. Those who experimented with appliances for "ginning" cotton and paved the way for Eli Whitney's invention must be brought out of obscurity. Teachers of foresight will not fail to refer to James Forten, the Philadelphiaian who perfected a device for hoisting sails; to Henry Blair of Maryland who patented two corn harvesters in 1834-1836; and to Norbert Rillieux who still earlier revolutionized the manufacture of sugar with his invention of the vacuum pan. Special reference must be made also to the inventions nearer us today—such as Grantille T. Wood's electrical appliances, Elijah McCoy's device for lubricating ma- Roosevelt and the Negro -- To Date -- Have Done Well Judging Mr. Roosevelt's administration thus far he has done more for the Negro than did Harding, Coolidge and Hoover combined. By KELLY MILLER ROGSEVELT AND Hand Set..... Franklin D. Roosevelt has now been in office for nearly nine months. During that time he has had to assume responsibilities as great, if not greater, than any that have ever fallen on presidential shoulders. His originality, resourcefulness and courage have been a source of never falling surprise and admiration. He has settled, at least for the time being, the liquor question which had threatened internal disruption for two decades. He has recognized Russia, and thus contributed importantly to the tranquillity of the American people and the peace of the world. He has led Congress and the nation in the enactment of sun- His originality, resourcefulness and courage have been a source of never failing surprise and admiration. He has settled, at least for the time being, the liquor question which had threatened internal disruption for two decades. He has recognized Russia, and thus contributed importantly to the tranquillity of the American people and the peace of the world. He has led Congress and the nation in the enactment of sunry recovery acts calculated to relieve unemployment and bring within hailing distance that prosperity which his deluded predecessor assured us was just around the corner. Perhaps most daring of all, he has inaugurated a new fiscal policy about which the hopes and fears of the financial world play see-saw. But the patriotic optimism and American-minded statesmanship are assured that the Roosevelt policy will be the winner. He insists in face of European presumption that the ring of the American dollar shall make sweeter music in the ears of the word than that of the franc or pound. If he succeeds in leading the people through the wilderness of depression and despair, he will go down in history along side the names of Washington and Lincoln. Weighed down with such a heavy load of general responsibilities, it is scarcely reasonable to expect that he could afford time to devote to class issues and group grievances. The whole is greater than any of its parts, and is equal to the sum of all of its parts. What is good for the body must needs be beneficial to the several members thereof—hence the Negro shares along with the rest in whatever promotes the national welfare. During his campaign and since, Mr. Roosevelt has stressed the point of his intention that the Negro should be an equal sharer in his greater policies for the welfare of the whole. He has appointed a cabinet whose attitude is broadminded and sympathetic. Secretary Roper, of South Carolina, in a formal address on the race problem has taken as patriotic and generous ground as any cabinet officer has ever been known to do. If the Negro has any just complaints against the practical workings of the codes under the NRA, such discrepancies are due to the incidents of administration, and can in no wise be traceable to the thought or purpose of the administration. During the last campaign, I flooded the Negro press with the belief that a change of administration did not necessarily mean any additional burden or hardship to the Negro race. My genial and gallant friend, Perry Howard, with true political instinct, was frantically vindicating his Republican partizanship by predicting all manner of racial calamities should his party lose. Roseco Conklin Simmons, the brilliant oratorical lightweight, was so sure of racial degradation, in case of a reversal of political fortune, that he openly declared that any Negro who voted for Roosevelt ought to be sent to hell. I wonder what Howard and Simmons are now thinking. What possible arguments will they devise for 1936? I have great faith in the political sagacity of the Mississippi national committeeman, and have no doubt that during the intervening four years, he will devise a new set of plausible platitudes to beguile the simple political obsession die hard. I will now indulge in terms which the politician can understand—jobs. Nothing is great or small except by comparison. Let us now compare the administration of Hoover and Roosevelt as to the allotment of patronage to the Negro group, after nine months of incumbency. Mr. Roosevelt, up to now, has left undisturbed every Negro appointee left as legatee from the Hoover administration, with one or two possible exceptions. The Liberian ministry is undergoing an interim along lines suggested by the Hoover administration. When the diplomatic tangle is straightened out, we all expect that a colored diplomat will be accorded this customary place. The appointment of Robert L. Vann easily offsets any of his Republican predecessors in caliber, character, and leadership. Death caused a vacancy in the Department of Justice, which it is hoped, will shortly be filled. In addition to all of these, the Roosevelt administration has appointed Dr. Johnson, of Columbus, Ohio; Prof. Hunt, of Alabama; and Mr. Weaver to important assignments in the Interior Department. Dr. Eugene Kinkle Jones, the well known expert in industrial problems, has been made special assistant to the Secretary of Commerce, and Mr. Hastie has been assigned as Special Solicitor for the Interior Department. No such array of Negro talent has "been accorded important governmental berths in many a long and cold political day. Those who profess to be in the confidence of the administration assure us, in the language of the Show Boat Captain, that this is "Only the beginning." Judging: Mr. Roosevelt's administration by this practical concrete test, we see that he has already done for the Negro more in nine months than was accorded the race by Harding, Coolidge and Hoover combined covering a course of twelve years. We can certainly say of Roosevelt and the Negro: "so far, so good." Let us hope that it will be better further on. chinery, and Jan Matzeliger's lasting machine by which he revolutionized the manufacture of shoes throughout the modern world. Africa Influenced Gerlard Art The teacher of fine art may be just as effective in correlating with such work facts concerning the Negro in the aesthetic sphere, Starting with the European background, as is usually done, the instructor can readily show the influence of Africa on the art of Greece by which the modern world is still influenced. The fine African workmanship in the preparation of utensils, weapons, musical instruments, and personal adornment should be noted. More attention should be directed to the figures of Sherbro, the megaliths of Gambia, and the bronze sculpture of Benin. The beauty of the striking rock painting found in the heart of Africa should be carefully studied. Modern Negroes Have Made Good in Art Coming nearer home to consider the great American artists, the well-informed teacher should depart from the textbooks produced by illiberal and biased authors and discuss along with other productions the fine work done by Edmonia Lewis in sculpture, and by Edmund M. Bannister and Harty O. Tanner in painting. The promising efforts of Negro painters of our time should not be ignored in any estimate of achievements in the fine arts in the United States. The teacher of English also has his opportunity. If he is interested in folk-lore, he will find in that of the Negro great treasures. If he is taking up American poets, he cannot neglect Phyllis Wheatley, Charles L. Reason, Dumbar. If the instructor is restricted especially to contemporary verse it will be an easy task to review along with the works of other Americans the productions of poets of our time. If the task at hand is a study of the best essays, the results can be enriched by the use of the writings of James McCune Smith, Alexander Crummell, and W. E. B. DuBois. If oratory comes up for consideration the picture is not complete without viewing the great utterances of Nathaniel Paul, Charles L. Remond, Samuel Ringold Ward, William Wells Brown, Frederick Douglass, and Booker T. Washington. The teaching of American literature presents the same opportunity. In taking up writers like Benjamin Franklin, Louisa May Alcott, Henry W. Longfellow, John G. Whitier, James Russell Lowell, William Cullen Bryant, William E. Channing, Ralph W. Emerson, Edward Greely and Walt Whitman teachers should not fail to point out that these authors were fair-minded enough to weave into their literary works an appeal for justice and equality for all men. In the teaching of modern languages and literatures the opportunity to inspire the Negro is equally as great as in other spheres. Prisons and Prisoners Prisons and Prisoners By Clifford C. Mitchell KEEPING THE FAITH Old Mother Nature has visited her ravages upon the citizenry of Chicago in a most impressive way. The themometer has registered way below zero; coal bins have had to be replenished; summer clothing has had to be discarded for the more comforting clothing of winter. In short, the temperature has changed the habits of many and these changes in habits has caused many a promise to go by the wayside. This writer has been caught in the vortex of these promises and he in turn has had to break many promises, but fortunately everyone seems to be of an understanding and sympathetic nature and whereas the feeling of shame would ordinarily have predominated, a spirit of increased courage has been inspired and in the face of all difficulties I feel the necessity of caring on so that those who have put their confidence in me can be repaid. It seems a part of this writer's experience to always receive the confidence of others and always there are others who are looking to me to make a success, and if for no other reason I must "carry on" and become the real hero to my many readers who are following my every action. Laws, commands, or nothing else will bring out the good points of a fallen man like the love and knowledge that others have faith in him for the reciprocation of that feeling is something beyond the prisoner himself—it is something that only love—God himself—can engender into the heart, and it alone can cause the prisoner to ascend the ladder to the heights that is predestined for each man to climb. SPECIAL FEATURES This Week By HAROLD G. EATON The Editor of Our Various Newspapers Are Facing the Most Trying Time of Their Career A scholarly writer once penned a line to this affect: "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are." In other words, the company that one keeps reflects the true character of that individual. With this in mind, I would say this of the Negro newspaper and its effect upon its readers: Show me the colored papers of your city and I will tell you the kind of Negroes that constitute the city in which you reside. If your local newspaper is a well-edited fearless fighter of injustice, your city is made up of colored people that will stand up for their rights. If it is the opposite, the members of your race are submissive and afraid to protest against injustice that is dealt to them. Dr. David D. Jones, head of Bennett College for Women, terms the Negro press as the "Moulders of Sentiment." The press is the brains of the people. The Change Up to now, the colored man's newspaper has been very much like the colored man himself; too much meekness plus an over-dose of religious sentiment. But experience and oppression have taught: that the aggressive individual accomplishes much more than the submissive one; and the former's demands are respected most. The do-not-hunting, non-protesting person gets nowhere and gains nothing, to say nothing of the respect he receives. Since the country entered the new administration and the birth of the Blue Eagle has come about the race has found itself forcefully segregated in a so-called effort for national recovery. Constituting the minority in numbers, and having little or no influence in the political machinery of the nation, Negroes have realized themselves in the worst predicament, economically, since emancipation. Untold thousands have been dismissed or fired from jobs that they held before the Code system went into effect. Many who were self-supporting a few months ago are now living on charity in communities where there are such organizations to care for the unemployed. Those few that are fortunate to continue holding jobs are paid the minimum wages allowed under the Code. The Blue Eagle, to the Negro, is a dirty bird, so to speak. The Job of the Editors Editors of our various newspapers are at present facing the most trivial time of their career. True, they are confronting many difficulties in the line of business to operate a newspaper at such a time; but this is a minor responsibility. There are some twelve million Afro-Americans in the United States that are undergoing the hardest times since slavery. This mass of black folk is today looking to the Negro press, more so than to the Negro church, for leadership in these days of depression. This is the major responsibility of the editors and their newspaper. It is their job to be the "moulders of sentiment." In the Realm of Books In the Realm of Books By C. LESLIE FEAZIER BOOKS By NELSON C. JEFFERSON (Pittsburgh Courier) I wish that I could store in mind The mysteries of all mankind. And obtain from all the books I knew Prose and poetry old and new. I wish that I could keep in part And ponder them within my heart. Most of the gems that are far from dead From the many books that I have read. I wish that I could store away. The millions of books that day by day Are read by many who seem to heed The voice of glory in things they read. I wish that I could read as fast As a printing press prints the mass. From my books great things I'd borrow. The Livingstone College bookstore recently published a book, "The Development of Negro Insurance Enterprises" (1787-1931) by W. J. Trent, Jr., instructor of economies at the College. The book is a graduate thesis done at the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Dr. S. S. Huebner, noted insurance authority. The work is divided into three periods: From 1787 to the close of the Civil War under which head the crude enterprises of the slave and free Negroes in the North and South are dealt with together with the growth of beneficial societies; Think It Over By BEATRICE M. MURPHY A LETTER TO MARY Dear Mary: Every time you start out to do something, no matter how big or small there's always some well-meaning friend to tell you how to do it. You soon discover that you've got to take a firm stand and decide "This is my fight. I'm going to do it my way according to my own convictions and ideas of right and wrong"; or, you've got to deliberately turn your back on what you feel to be right and allow yourself to be swayed by "popular opinion." The choice is not always an easy one to make. Following one's own convictions sometimes means hurting someone you love and finding yourself branded "coward" and "integrate." You may find it absolutely necessary—in the midst of the conflict—to turn your back and walk from the field. Playing coward? Of course not! Just doing what every wise man realizes that he must do—and does! giving yourself a chance to regain your perspective. But no matter what the reason, you will be branded "coward" just the same. The price that one pays for being different from the majority is not a small one, by any means. You will also be amazed at how difficult it will be to follow your own convictions. Your ideas of right and wrong will seldom coincide with those of your associates; for though your souls meet on a common plane they do not touch hands. You will find men ready to sween aside and "forgive" you for every opinion and belief you have held which was contrary to theirs, if you will only give them up and follow the beaten path. Society tolerates individuality only in geniuses—not in common people like you and me. Your life is your life only if you are man or woman enough to make it so. Your soul is your soul only if you are willing to fight to keep it. You are the son or daughter of Society, and she is a jealous mother. Thou shalt have no other gods before her. Thou shalt follow no course of action except those prescribed by her. Even your joy and sorrow is controlled and guided by her. There are things which you "do not do" and "do not say"—no matter how true and noble they may be—because Society has put her thumbs down. What you are and what you think—your opinions and your ideas—have all been thought out for you. All you have to do is follow; unless you have the courage to say: Let me live my own life sacrificing no one; but if I must make a choice between Society and my sense of dececy and right, if I must lose a friend or my convictions, may I ever keep my convictions. May I ever keep my soul free and cling to what I believe regardless of the pain it might inflict upon another. Above all things, may I ever, from beginning to end, remain—true to myself! Think it over! We are about to be convinced that there is no worse punishment on this earth than shaving in a cold room on a cold morning with kitchen soap and a dull razor. Those who give have all things; they withhold have nothing. The second period encompasses 39 years from the end of the Civil War to 1909 and the rapid growth of the fraternal orders and assessment associations are discussed at length; The third section (1909-1931) presents the era of the legal reserve companies from the founding of the first legal reserve company, the Mississippi Beneficial Association in 1909 to the debacle of the National Benefit in 1931. The contribution of the National Negro Insurance Association and the Federation of Negro Fraternals is discussed in this section. Mr. Trent is an alumnus of Livingstone College ('30) and pursued graduate work in business administration at the University of Pennsylvania. He received the degree of Master of Business Administration in 1932 and since that time has been a member of the faculty at his alma mater and this year is assistant business manager of the college. ***** That our readers may get the advantage of good things—once a month we will publish a book-lover's opportunity.

Other house parties have been scheduled too numerous to mention, which will necessitate a look here, a peep there, and then be off. Without a doubt those who will be there will be well entertained. And what about Richmond? Yes, quite a few have expressed intentions of witnessing the game between Hampton and Union. If its the game you are anxious about, these teams will offer good competition. However, those Richmond social leaders are noted for their Southern hospitality, so a good game interspersed with social pleasures will be the reward of those taking a Southern route.

A few short weeks ago, or rather, so it seems, you saw one of those cute little over-one-eye hats and yo uran into Reid's Corner at Eleventh and U, and bought one (probably paying your last $2.50 for it). You rushed right home and spent hours before the looking-glass pulling that hat off and on until finally—well, you got it on your head at just the swankiest angle imaginable. And then you thrilled with pride as you coquettishly glanced at your face in the mirror. You even said to yourself, "I'm almost too smart for words." Now, alas! You peep at a paper today, and Lo! These fatal lines greet you: "Off-the-face hats are here." So, what is there for one to do but to run right back to Reid's Corner and buy another hat? It does seem that Lady Fashion (knowing how many old "Demon Depression" has sketched across our brows, would let us keep them covered now). Never mind, it's veil time anyway and the right kind of a veil, with almost any little hat, can make charmers of most of us. So, cheer up, little lady! Unpucker your brow and tilt your hat back now. You see a stunning figure rushing toward an airport. Her laughing black eyes are wide with excitement. She is about to board a plane. It's Miss Jewell Jennifer, the popular radio artist, of course. She is such a wonderful person to have around, you really are not surprised that her relatives (she's a member of the prominent Jennifer family of New Jersey Avenue and Park Road) and friends made her over-stay her time when she ran down on a visit. (She's with a well-known theatrical company in New York) and the only possible way to avoid being late for an engagement was to fly, and so she flew to the big town and phoned right back. "Twas fun!" Present at the recital sponsored by the Special Project Group of the Community Committee of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., featuring V. L. Granville, English actor, in "Dramatic Interludes," were Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Wiggins. With dark, round eyes adorning a lovely face, Mrs. Wiggins, a vivid little individual, can do the most wonderful things to a plain black costume with a touch of white. Now, can't she? As a fox-hunt is to a hound—interesting, exciting, exhilarating—so is a news-hunt to a reporter. And when the scene of the "hunt" is the Murray Casino, with its soft lights, mirrored walls, and romantic atmosphere; when the scribe is a certain slim individual who rushes in "where angels fear to tread"; when the news she is trying to get is all about the dance of the Bachelor-Benedict Club, that superlatively smart social club composed of Washington's best known business and professional men, then the chase does indeed become a wonderful adventure. Did the poor little reporter get in? She did not. That is, not exactly. Of course she has only herself to blame, for her friends told her she wouldn't succeed (but then some of the Bachelor-Benedicts told her she would). So straightway she began to "storm the castle," (I mean the Casino) and by the time she had "crashed" through the first few walls her poor little bone-head was so badly cracked she had to rush right home and get some "beauty sleep." Did I say "beauty sleep"? Well, anyway, some sleep. Better luck to her next time. Perhaps, when the ultra-exclusive Bachelor-Benedict Club is ready for its next dance the bone in that particular reporter's head will have turned to ivory or marble or some other such substance and she'll be able to struggle through the final wall. Anyway, the stupid little scribe lind a lot of fun. So many interesting people. For instance, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Haylett, 1727 S Street, Northwest. He's the popular president of the club and his wife—well, now really, have you ever seen a lovelier little lady than she? And in a soft lace dress of paired pink she must have been a picture. (I saw her hours before in a plain little dress at home and she was ever so entrancing then.) There was Mrs. Creed Childs (magnetic "Martha," you know) trying to decide whether to keep that gorgeous silver requin jacket on over her long black gown, or let it hang tantalizingly from a be-jewelled arm. There was the radiant little lady whose smile brings out the deepest, dearest dimples in the world, and there was her beaming husband (Mr. and Mrs. John Wilkinson, I mean). There was Mrs. Fred Wilkinson, too, the charming "Maggie," with her smart gray locks adding an extra bit of charm. Then there was her husband, the popular registrar of Howard University. the swish and swir of satins and velvets and taffetaa; the clouds of softest chiffons; the brilliance of ```markdown ``` --- --- diamonds and rhinestones; and the sparkling bright eyes of the dancers made it altogether a dazzling affair. And it's too bad you had to miss all of it and the poor little reporter a part of it. * * * * * It's really too terrible for Baltimore that two of its most prominent school teachers, jolly Mr. William McAbeg and his ever so bewitching wife, have relatives (and a lot of friends, too) in Washington who positively would not survive without a visit every now and then from that interesting couple. For when Baltimore "boasts" no "McAbees" it's an awfully dreary place. ```markdown ``` So this is Thanksgiving week. Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and a hit of other "Whose Woe" will "hop into a plane, or take a train to the City-by-the-Sea for the Howard-Lincoln football game. And what a game it will be! And what a setting for that game! Think of it! Convention Hall in the evening. Luck to the Bisons. With every smart Atlantic City matron getting her breakfast, luncheon, dinner, dance, or what not over in a big way there will be a gay time for everybody and the hours will go all too soon. Some of us will stay at home. All of us will have something for which to give thanks. Among the million and one things I for one, have to be thankful for is the fact that there are so many lovely ladies and big, bold, wonderful men to "brattle" about. Bloomingdale Defeated by Aces in Tourney The biggest upset of the season was the defeat of the Bloomingdale Club by the Aces in the national card tournament by a score of 181 to 137 last week.

C. --- ThemeSong of "Shadows On Moon" is Tuneful Hit By GARLAND MACKEY "Shadows on the Moon," the theme song of the play by the same name is no doubt destined to be one of the hits of the season. In this day and age when songs are turned out faster than Henry sends out lizies and most o. they just as tinny it is certainly no less than miraculous when one song can start a city humming it overnight. That's exactly what "Shadows on the Moon' ha more. As guest of the producer, Ralph Matthews, on the second showing of the musical satire Friday at a midnight performance at the Harlem Theatre in Baltimore to a well filled house I was more than repaid for the night in hearing William C. Smith yoddle the popular melody. In fact I found myself humming it all the way back to Washington at 6 in the morning. R. Matthews Producer of "Adam and Eve Matthews, who is well known in Washington for his "Adam and Eve" of last year, has produced another heavenly play in "Shadows on the Moon." You will remember that "Adam and Eve" had something to do with angels, a few of the more popular prophets and whatnots and showed several scenes from the celestial world. Well, "Shadows or the Moon" is entirely different, but there is a Master of the Universe in William Francis, a bevy of beautiful stars, butterflies, and Life by Sheldon Hoskins and Death by Harry J. Hunt. Depression in Heaven The play is in two acts and ten scenes. The opening finds the depression has invaded heaven and the Master of the Universe has called in all and sundry to do their part in helping to relieve the situation. The Moon (Brook Waters) is called on to spend less in getting full and to come in earlier, the stars are cautioned to twinkle less, to save electricity, Life advised to clip the wings of the stock and Death is warned to cease activities. As a result of this edict Life and Death are given a vacation so both decide to come to earth and live as humans. They are recarinated in the bodies of two young men who are killed in a train wreck. Both disguised as Jimmy Day and Donald Knight, respectively, meet the girl friends, Lindy Lou (Lenora Lindberry) and Mary Rose (Hortense Davis) of the dead youths. Good Acting A flirtation starts. Death is cold and repelling. His advances are repulsed. Of course Life is the perfect lover, but is fickle. The whole affair ends in a dance of conflict with death carrying off his lady love, but she is finally rescued by her friends. The ending is entirely satisfactory and although Death is a rather gruesome character, his depressing appearance does not leave a bad taste. Mr. Hunt does some really fine acting in this role as does Mr. Hoskins as Life. (DARK BEER) ROYAL PILLOW ROYAL PILLOW ROYAL PILLOW WASHINGTON, D.C. ROYAL PILLOW Old Glory NRA THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1933 Costume of Paint There are any number of specialities. Among the outstanding are the little Little Dots, a trio that dances out of pure joy and premates the entire audience with their sheer happiness in just being alive. Then there is Elder Russell who does a dance number on roller skates on the top of a small round table. There is also the young m.n. who does a dance clothed in a coat of bronze paint. There are also several dances in which young men and women are practically clothed in little less than grease and paint. Baltimore is accustomed to such things, and the large crowd enjoyed the performance. To Be Played Here Mr. Matthews has asked the writer to arrange a performance here for the play and "Shadows on the Moon" is scheduled to be seen before a Washington, audience in the near future. All in all the play is dicent from the regular run of honky-tonk affairs one sees here abuts day in and night. The girls are pretty, unsophisticated and young. They can dance as well as sing. The gentlemen of the chorus are good looking, have picasan voices, dance and some of them are rather effilinate. The first showing of "Sradows on the Moon" netted $300 for Morgan College, a worthy cause. In reviewing the play one has to pay respects to Rivers D. Chambers who wrote the music and directs the orchestra. He has done an excellent job. Girl Reserves Rehearse 'The Feast of the Red Corn' Dunbar Girl Reserves under sponsorship of Miss La. Verne Gregory, plans to present in the first week of December, "The Feast of the Red Corn" chosen because of the possibility of using the majority of the 150 girls in the club.

Although the club is limited to women graduates of the university, it is anxious to give future members knowledge of its principles. For this reason plans have been formulated for the purpose of contacting prospective graduates of Howard University. Details of this program of contact will be announced at a later date. Howard Women Urged to Join All women graduates are urged to attend the meetings of the club. The club is only selective to the extent that a member must be a woman graduate of the university.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL English Actor Warmly Received by Audience By PEARLIE The Special Project, Group of the Community Committee of the Phyllis, Wheatley Y.W.C.A. presented V. L. Granville, English actor in "Dramatic Interludes" last Saturday evening at John Wesley, A.M.E.Z. Church. What an actor he is! And what an enthusiastic crowd was there to greet him! Seen First as Narrator Somehow sensing the fact that this was to be a program extraordinary, long before the scheduled appearance of the artist, business and professional men left their offices; maids and matrons forgot their social engagements and made their way toward the Corcoran Street Church. And now the entertainer appears You see him first as a narrator, and you feel at once that he can not be excelled in that particular line. He turns to tragedy and right away you know that always he should play the part of a tragedian. Swings to Comedy But wait! With the swiftest possible dispatch he swings to comedy and you say to yourself, "Surely here is the master comedian." He enacts the role of Lady Wishfort, from "The Way of the World" (William Cangrene) and instantly and emphatically you classify him as a Grade A female impersonator. And then when he ended his program with that unforgettable interpretation of Andre, from "The Final Call" (De Lorde) you knew that beyond the shadow of a doubt, there stood before you an actor of the first rank. Program Enjoyed And so, in reviewing the evening's offering, trying to separate the "high" spots from the "low" ones, you fail utterly and absolutely, for the simple reason that there was not a single solitary "low" spot in the whole program. Job, from "The Book of Job" (The Bible), Stripsides from "The Cloud's" (Aristophanes), "Hamlet" (Shakespeare), Uriah Heep, from "David Copperfield" (Charles Dickens), The Lord Chancellor, from "Iolanthe" (Gilberand Sullivan), Asano and Uda from "Fluttering Hands" (Kawataki Mokuami), Ivan Ivanovitch Tolkacher, from "A Tragedian in Spite of Himself" (Anton Chekhov), and Nero, Roman Emperor, from "Quo Vadis" were among the numbers given. Elaborate Costumes Adding admirably to the effectiveness of the program were the elaborate costumes worn by the actor, and the skill and rapidity with which he changed from one make-up to another, even while enacting a particular role, further stamped him the finished artist. Brilliant lighting arrangements by Heywood Sparks were also an important factor in the success of the program. Misses Naomi Martin and Naomi Johnson furnished appropriate music. It was altogether an instructive, inspiring and enjoyable affair. And you wondered, after it was all over and you were on your way home, taking with you not-to-be-forgotten "satnethas" of tragedy, of comedy,—well you wondered just when you'll be fortunate enough to see another actor like V.

Frazier Today is turkey day—but many of us will have our turkey dinner on Sunday. Hence we are not amiss to talk turkey for that probable Sabbath dinner. In case you do not have the big bird, chicken is in order, so here are recipes for both—take your choice. Note the menu here and try it, you will notice that it is a very low cost meal, with emphasis on "very." A dinner like this is sure to please the family to a T. These cold mornings are just the sort that the men folks will appreciate waffles or crackling bread. The latter is especially good for the romping boy. Relative to hot waffles, I have found from personal experience that the members of my family show signs of great pleasure when I serve this hot treat of mornings. It gives me as much pleasure to set waffles before them and note their contentment as it does in giving them enjoyment. Waffles may be served with syrup, molasses, jelly, or just with butter. Never serve them, though, without some sweet spread to go over them. It would be a good habit to introduce the old fashionable crackling bread as a winter item. Such a season dish for now, as it is in the midst of "killing time" (meaning butchering of hogs), with some of us. The recipe given here is very simple. Roast Turkey with Sage Stuffing or Pot-Roasted Chicken with Savory Nice Hot Waffles for Chilly Mornings Pot-Roasted Chicken with Savory Stuffing and Gravy Mashed Potatoes Diced Turnips Cranberry Sauce Celery Pumpkin Pie Coffee Milk (for children) Recipes Roast Turkey Singe the turkey, remove the pin feathers, cleanse thoroughly, and wipe dry. Sprinkle the inside with salt, fill with hot stuffing, and sew up the opening. Fold the wings back on the neck, and tie the ends of the legs together under the tail. Rub the surface of the turkey with butter, sprinkle with salt, pepper and flour, and lay a piece of fat over the breast bone. To roast a young turkey, put the bird on its back on a rack in an open roasting pan. Brown lightly in a hot oven (450° F.) and continue to cook the turkey until it is tender. Baste occasionally with the drippings. Allow about fifteen minutes to the pound for roasting. Sage Stuffing % cup butter or other fat 1 cup chopped celery and leaves 2 medium-sized onions, 1 to 2 tablespoons powdered sage Melt the fat in a skillet, add the celery, onion and parsley and simmer for a few minutes. Add the bread crumbs, season with salt, pepper and sage, and stir until well mixed and hot. Pot-Roasted Chicken with Savory Stuffing 4 to 5-pound chicken 4 tablespoons butter or other fat 1 cup chopped celery and leaves 2 tablespoons chopped onion 2 or 3 springs parsley, cut fine ½ teaspoon salt Pepper ¼ teaspoon savory seasoning. Select a plump chicken, draw, remove pin feathers and oil sae, wash and wipe dry inside and out. Sprinkle salt inside the chicken and fill it lightly with hot stuffing. Fold the wings back on the neck and tuck the legs into the band of skin and flesh below the tail. Rub the surface of the chicken with butter; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and flour. Then put the chicken on a rack in a heavy kettle, add a small quantity of water, cover closely, and cook over low heat about two hours or until the chicken is tender. Then transfer the chicken to an open roasting pan. Add the drippings, baste well, and put in a moderately hot oven until brown. Serve with plain or giblet gravy. Instead of cooking in a heavy kettle as indicated above, the chicken may be put in a covered pan and cooked in a very moderate oven until tender. Remove the cover during the end of the cooking for the chicken to brown. For the savory stuffing: Melt the fat in a skillet, add the celery, onion, and parsley and cook for a few minutes. Then add the bread crumbs and seasonings and stir until well mixed and hot. Sprinkle salt inside the chicken and fill it lightly with the hot stuffing. Gravy For each cup of gravy, use 2 tablespoons of the pan drippings and 1½ tablespoons of flour. Blend fat and flour thoroughly in the skillet, add 1 cup of milk, and stir until thickened. Add chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to season. Add the giblets (chopped and cooked) if desired. Crackling Bread One quart of corn meal, a pint of buttermilk, a teaspoon of soda, a big pinch of salt, a pint of brown cracklings left from making lard, warm water. Crush the cracklings with a rolling pin, heat them and stir in the dough, which must be thick enough to mold well (thin with the warm water). Mold the bread with the hands in small oblong pones about 3 inches thick, putting the pones as you mold them in hot, well-greased pans. Bake in a hot oven until brown. A. B.

Nice Hot Waffles for Chilly Mornings Waffles for breakfast, especially these Thanksgiving holiday mornings—for lunch—for dessert; waffles with syrup, or waffles with fried chicken; with honey, preserves, cheese, creamed meat or chicken, sausage cakes or even waffles with hot chocolate sauce. There is some magic pull in the mere announcement of waffles on the menu, whatever they are combined with. You can't displease the family by serving them often. For instance, to make nut waffles, add 1 cup of chopped pecan meats or other nuts to the batter for plain waffles. Chocolate waffles are made by adding 2 squares of melted unsweetened chocolate, $2\frac{1}{2}$ tablespoons of extra sugar, $\frac{1}{4}$ teaspoon of vanilla, and $\frac{1}{4}$ teaspoon more salt. You can add nuts to these chocolate waffles, too, if you like. For an easy Sunday night supper dish on a cold evening it would A MAN and A.

Waffles 2 cups of sifted soft-wheat flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1½ tablespoon sugar 3 teaspoon salt 1½ cups sweet milk 2 eggs 3 tablespoons melted fat. Mix the dry ingredients. Add the milk and beaten egg yolks and melted fat. Fold in the beaten whites of eggs. Have the waffle iron hot enough to brown the waffles quickly. If you have an electric waffle iron add 1 extra table- spoon of melted fat to the batter and do not grease the iron To use sour milk in waffles, reduce the baking powder to one teaspoon and add 4% teaspoon of soda to the dry ingredients. 1 tablespoon powdered sugar 1 teaspoon rich cream (can be eliminated) Enough flour to make fairly stiff dough Beat eggs with sugar, then add flour gradually. Turn onto floured board and roll out very thin. Cut into rectangles about $1\frac{1}{2}$x4. Make slit crossways in center of each and pull one end through. Cook in hot lard until lightly browned. When done, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Rice and Corn Muffins 2 cups corn meal 1 tablespoon sugar $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon salt $2\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons baking powder Sift the meal, the sugar, the salt, and the baking powder together. Mix the rice, the milk, the well-beaten eggs, and the melted fat; then add the meal and other dry ingredients. Bake the mixture in well-greased muffin pans. This will make 14 to 18 average muffins.

Winter is here and friend husband again can demand a dish of fried onions of which he is so fond but which his wife hates to cook because of the odor they leave in the house. Here is a method which if followed leaves little odor. Cut the onions across and separate into rings. Peel and slice them underneath water to prevent odor and smarting the eyes. Dry the rings in a paper sack in which has been placed a cup of flour and shake around until they are well dredged. Then dip in a medium batter and fry in deep fat. Cook only a few at a time so that the rings won't stick together. Cook until they are golden brown. Cocoanut Layer Cake 2 cups sifted cake flour 2 cups baking powder ½ teaspoon salt ½ cup butter or other short- ening 1 teaspoon vanilla Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt, and sift together three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add slowly the sugar and cream thoroughly until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour alternately with milk, a small amount at a time. Beat well after each addition. Add vanilla. Bake in two greased 9-inch layer pans in moderate oven (375° F.) 25 to 30 minutes. Double recipe to make three 10-inch layers. Spread frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. Sprinkle each layer and outside of cake thickly with moist, sweetened coconut, while frosting is soft. Creamy Rice With Fruit ½ cup rice 2 cups boiling water 1½ cups milk ½ teaspoon salt ½ cup sugar 2 cups chopped fresh fruit or dried fruit soaked and cooked Cook the rice over direct heat in the two cups of boiling water. When the water has been almost absorbed put the rice in a double boiler, add the milk, salt, and sugar. Cover and cook until the rice is tender. Mix the rice and fruit and peaches, canned grated pineapple, dried apricots, dried peaches, or prunes give excellent flavor.

ADALEE McGILL, WIFE OF GENERAL MANAGER OF CHICAGO DEFENDER. RETAINS CHILDREN CLERK JOBS ARE DEMANDED BY MILITANT GROUP Patrons Refuse to Enter After Reading Sandwich Sign The New Negro Alliance moved its picketing squad into action in front of a High's ice cream store at 1804 Seventh Street, early Tuesday morning. The Alliance administrator: Franklin Thorne, announced early in the week that an attempt to have clerked places in the store failed when the owner, a white man, refused to answer all communications addressed to him. He is said to be in Richmond, Va. Picket Arrested Howard N. Fitzhugh was taken into custody by police of the Second Precinct, Tuesday evening, for patrolling in front of the store. He was kept in the station house for about an hour without being charged, and released after the commanding officer had contacted the officers in the Ferguson-Ward case (which Judge Gus A. Schuldt dismissed recently) and learned, from them, that there were no grounds for prosecution. Signs taken from Fitzhugh were returned to him. Pupils Refuse to Enter Howard Fitzhugh, a member of the Alliance, began the parade in front of the store Tuesday at 10 a.m. He was later relieved by other members of the organization who took up two-hour details. It was said that business at the store fell off 90 per cent the first day. Hundreds of pupils of Shaw Junior High School and other schools in the vicinity of the store refused to purchase ice cream at the store when they read the sandwich sign carried by the pickets. Police Take Action High has a chain of stores scattered about the city. The one on Seventh Street is in an exclusive Negro neighborhood. There is another store owned by High in the 3100 block of Eleventh Street, an all-Negro section. Demands Clerk Jobs Officers of the Alliance stated this week that pickets will be established in front of this store also. Hundreds of former patrons of the Seventh Street store have refused to enter after reading the sign carried by the pickets. All efforts to reach the store owner have failed. Glyde McDuffie, a Dunbar High School teacher and Alliance member, stated this week that he intends to picket a store in the vicinity of Fifteenth and U Streets, beginning at 10 a.m. Friday. Pickets of the Alliance were arrested when they first started a boycott on an A. & P. store at Ninth and S Streets. The charge against them was dismissed after several weeks of delay. Heartened by this action of the court, pickets are again using signs with large letters stating that the store does not employ Negroes. The Alliance demands clerk jobs for Negroes in stores in neighborhoods predominantly colored. Jitney Troupe Will Play Shaw Comedy at Spelman ATLANTA, Ga. — The Jitney Players, the troupe of young actors which for the past eleven years has been touring the country in motor trucks and playing on village greens, in parks, in halls, auditoriums, and theatres, will come to Spelman College on December 12 to present Bernard Shaw's "pleasant play," "Arms and the Man" in Howe Memorial Hall. This group of strolling players, said to be the first of its kind to gain renown since the days of Moliere, plays out of doors in summer with one of its trucks as a stage. In the winter it utilizes such halls or theatres as are available. With a company of twelve players and a repertoire of modern and classic plays, the group has carried the spoken drama to all parts of the country, frequently to places where a legitimate play had never been seen before. CHICAGO—(ANP)—It's all a miserable lie and somebody's going to pay for it!" Flushed and angered, Mrs. Idalee McGill, former wife of Nathan K. McGill, general manager of the Chicago Defender, took occasion as stated above this week to deny reports that the Circuit court of Cook County had taken her children from her and given their custody to Mr. McGill. A report on such action by the Circuit court, Judge Walter LaBuy, presiding, was brought to The Associated Negro Press by a reporter who claimed to have obtained the information directly from Mr. McGill. After this reporter had talked to Mr. McGill, the latter called the office of the S.Carolina Widows to Sue For Lynching of Mates Widow Sues for $2,000 for Lynched Husband GREENVILLE, S.C.—Mrs. Ada Thompson, widow of Bennie Thompson, who was taken from the jail at Ninety-Six, S.C., October 8 by four white men and lynched by being beaten to death, has engaged lawyers in this city to file suit against the county for $2,000 damages. This amount is allowed under the South Carolina anti-lynching law and may be recovered from the county where a lynching occurs. The county authorities are expected to try and dodge on the word "lynching." They are said to believe Thompson was "murdered." The state also argued over those two words in the lynching of Norris Dendy, July 4 at Clinton, S.C. Both men were taken from jail and killed. The county solicitor here will present the Thompson case to the g- and jury next month. Four white textile workers are being held for 'Hompson's death. One made a statement, confessing the crime and stating the chief of police left the jail door open for them. Widow of Lynch Victim to Sue County GREENSBORO, S.C.—(ANP)—Mrs. Mary Green has retained the services of former United States District Attorney Joseph A. Tolbert to institute a suit for not less than $2,000 in connection with the death of "her" husband, George Green. A dozen masked and robed men broke into Mr. Green's home last week and shot him to death.

ANP and admitted he had discussed the case with the reporter who submitted the story to the ANP. McGill Sanctions Story After the release of the story by the ANP, this reporter co-operating with The Hefender, is reported to have sent mats of Mr. McGill to a number of newspapers. This week's exciting denouncement to the McGill domestic drama comes as the aftermath of a petition which Mr. McGill filed in the Circuit court to obtain possession of the children. In this petition certain charges, reflecting on the mother's ability to properly rear the children were made. But, according to Mrs. McGill no hearing on this petition was ever held. Seven White Men Held In Slaying of Aged Man GREENVILLE, S.C. — Seven Greenville County white men face charges in connection with the assassination of George Green, 73-year-old man, who was shot to death by a masked and robed band at his home near Taylors. W. Fred Newman, a State investigator, swore out warrants upon which six men were arrested. The seventh, C. F. James, owner of the house in which Green lived, was being sought. Newman said he had signed confessions from five men, all under arrest: G. L. Smith, H. J. Duncan. W. B. Harter, J. D. Dailey and Andrew Monk. Green was shot when he resisted an attempt by a group of disguised men to enter his home. BOULDER DAM SITUATION IS EXPLAINED BOULDER DAM SITUATION IS EXPLAINED Clark Foreman Sends Letter to Colored Democratic Club in Las Vegas LAS VEGAS, New Mexico, (ANP)—Replying to complaints registered with Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes regarding discriminations against Negroes on the Boulder Dam project, W. H. Christian, chairman of the Colored Democratic club of this city, made public here Monday a letter received from Clark Foreman, answering for Mr. Ickes. The letter, which took up the matter of employment on the dam, the lack of Negro employees in the Bureau of Reclamation and the rule which prohibits Negroes living in Boulder City, answered all three points. "As I understand it," Mr. Foreman wrote, "your complaints fall under three heads: "(1) Discrimination against Negroes in the employment of labor on the Boulder City dam; "(2) discrimination against Negroes in the Bureau of Reclamation; "(3) discrimination against Negroes in Boulder City itself. Act of Republicans "In answer to the first, I can only say that the contracts for this work were made under the previous administration and are not within the power of the Secretary to change at this time. To avoid any future instances of such discrimination, however, the Secretary has sent out to all state engineers in charge of public works a statement requiring that there be no discrimination on the basis of color or religion in employment for public works. "With regards to the second, I understand that your accusations are correct—that there are no Negro employees in the Bureau of Reclamation. The Secretary has given this his attention and Negroes will be employed in the Bureau of Reclamation as soon as possible. "As to the third, the Secretary will see to it that provisions be made in Boulder City for Negroes and that the rule which excludes them from living in Boulder City will be abolished. Housing will be provided for Negroes in the city. "Assuring you of the Secretary's interest in all parts of the population and his desire to see that Negroes enjoy their full share of the recovery program. I am, sincerely yours, Clark Foreman." Meeting the Composer of the "St. Louis Blues" CHICAGO—Clifford C. Mitchell, columnist, writes the following concerning his meeting William C. Handy, composer of "St. Louis Blues: "All Chicago, particularly, those who attended the performances at the Chicago Theatre, and those who were fortunate enough to visit the Trenier Hotel, were made happy in seeing the composer of the 'St. Louis Blues,' and daddy of all blues. It was this writer's privilege to meet William C. Handy both at the Chicago Theatre where he was playing and at the Trenier Hotel where he stayed during his week in Chicago. "Mr. Handy was but one of the many old-time star performers that appeared in 'Memory Lane' which played for many weeks on Broadway before starting on its tour of the country. After playing the week in Chicago they left for a week in Detroit; week in Buffalo, and then for an extended tour around the country. "The creator of the 'blues' songs was but one of the two colored performers. The other being, J. Roskamond Johnson, composer of many songs made famous during the days of Cole and Johnson, and the world renowned Bert Williams." ```markdown ``` THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

North Carolina Factions Uniting Behind Program HIGH POINT, N.C.-Despite the propaganda being spread daily by white newspapers seeking to frighten, divide and discourage North Carolina colored people, North Carolinians of all factions are uniting behind the militant program outlined by the N.A.A. C.P. The latest evidence is found in a meeting of educators called recently in Durham by Dr. J. E. Shepard and others who are regarded as conservatives. This conference did not mention the N.A.A.A.C.P. or its program by name, but adopted a strong statement embodying most of the N.A.A.C.P. philosophy. The statement condemned mob violence and lynching, scored the barring of Negroes from jury service, calling such trials, "travesties," hit disfranchisement of Negro voters, condemned the low wage scale for Negro teachers, saying they were reduced "to the level of jailers," and called for "serupulous observance of the law as it is written." Spelman College to Observe Founder's Day ATLANTA, Ga.—Alumnae of Spelman College and friends of Lucy Hale Tauley, late president emeritus of the college, will pay tribute to her as an educator and friend at memorial services on Thanksgiving morning, November 30, at ten e'clock in Sisters Chapel.

Vernon was principal of Western University, an agreement was entered into with the State of Kansas, whereby the African Methodist church would deed to the state 15 acres of land and upon which the State would build an industrial school. Mr. Vernon had a proviso placed in the contract whereby if the State gave up its undertaking, all its properties and investments would revert to the church. Last week, however, this term of the contract was reversed. Bishop Vernon is now superintendent of the state section of the school. The A.M.E. church decided to forego its activities in connection with the institution last May. The church further sought to restrain the state from continuing to operate the school, but Judge Clyde C. Glandon upheld the State's demurrier to the church petition for an injunction against the State, and sustained the right of the State to operate Western University. The school was founded in 1881. Since that time, the church has erected only one building, Ward Hall, a dormitory, upon which a $25,000 mortgage still exists. "The State, since 1899, has appropriated a million and one-half dollars to the school.

Atlanta Negro Appointed Advisor to American Federation of Labor ATLANTA, Ga. (ANP)—B. C. Baskerville, well known Atlanta citizen, has recently been appointed an organizer among Negroes for the American Federation of Labor in the Southeast section of the country. This appointment comes through the recommendation of Forrester B. Washington, director of the Atlanta School of Social work. Mr. Baskerville is working out of the Southern office of the American Federation of Labor in Atlanta, Ga. Already he has recruited a large number of individual Negroes as members of the trade union movement and in addition has organized a local of express and freight handlers in Atlanta which has recently received the A.F. of L. charter from headquarters at Washington; one in Chattanooga, Tenn., which has received its charter; and another in Florence, S.C., which is about to receive its charter. To date, therefore, he has set up three Negro local unions in as many cities. Mr. Baskerville's appointment probably represents the first time that a highly trained Negro has been sought as a general organizer for his race by the A.F. and L. in the South. He has made a study of the history of the Negro in relation to labor and is well versed in the theory and practice of collective bar- Capitol View News Mrs. Eva Bailey, of Division Avenue, Northeast, became the bride of Mr. John Roger on last Wednesday evening.

(ANF)—At a meeting of Southern industrialists in Atlanta, Georgia, according to the November 2, issue of the Atlanta Journal, J. H. Ames, of Selma, Ala., proposed formulation codes for "subnormal labor" in the South as a loophole for Southern enterprises who are willing to pay to Negro labor even the inadequate minimum wage proposed in many of the industrial codes adopted under the NRA. In support of his recommendation, Mr. Ames is reported to have said that because "certain types of labor in the South" are less efficient than Northern labor, Southern industries cannot pay the high wages which are possible in the North, where production costs are lower by virtue of more efficient labor. This is the patent argument which has been prevalent in the South for many years. More than you ever expected for your old out-of-date, out-of-tune radio.

PAGE JUPITER TO HANG FOR MURDER Jury Returns Guilty Verdict in 32 Minutes of Deliberation LA PLATA, Md.—Page Jupiter, 45-year-old farm-hand, was convicted of the ax slaying of Mrs. Evalyn Reifschneider by a jury in the Charles County Circuit Court after 32 minutes' deliberation, on Thursday afternoon, and was sentenced to be hanged by the three judges of the seventh judicial circuit, who tried the case. Jupiter was returned to La Plata from Baltimore without announcement that the trial would be held and there were none of the threats of mob violence or disorder that prevailed for two days after his arrest on the murder charge. He was tried and convicted in six hours and returned immediately to the State Penitentiary in Baltimore. The defense witnesses testified only to Jupiter's alleged subnormal mind and the defense attorneys, John T. Mudd and Joseph A. Wilmer of La Plata, who were appointed by the court to defend the colored man, asked only the mercy of the court because of his mental condition. A charge of criminal assault against Jupiter was not brought up and witnesses were not allowed to testify regarding the alleged attack. The trial was held before Judge W. Mitchell Digges and Associate Judges Joseph C. Mattingly and William M. Loker, with State's Attorney Edward J. Edelin conducting the prosecution.

Anti-Lynching Bill is Introduced in Maryland ANNAPOLIS, Md.—Among the many bills introduced at the special session of the general assem- lynching by Delegate Oliver Meibly here Thursday was one on zeratt, of Prince Georges County, who represents in the lower house of the Maryland Legislature (approximate 60,000 persons of whom 15,000 are Negroes.) Mr. Mezerratt in speaking of the anti-lynching bill said it would no doubt prove a controversial measure but that it embodied his own ideas on the subject. An unusual feature of the bill prohibits persons who have formed or expressed any opinions in favor of lynching from serving on juries which try lynching cases. The measure aims to abolish lynching chiefly by making counties and cities liable to the extent of $5,000, when a crime of this type occurs within their borders. The veterans of General Guy V.

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER HAITIAN MINISTER ARRIVES HERE IN PALM BEACH SUIT Dr. Mordecai Johnson is First to Greet M. Albert Blanchet By EUGENE DAVIDSON Monsieur Albert Blanchet, the new minister to the United States from the Republic of Haiti, arrived in Washington, Thursday night of last week to take charge of the legation here. Among the first visitors of the new minister were Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, of Howard University, and the Washington correspondent of the Associated Negro Press, M. Blanchet graciously received Dr. Johnson, who expressed for himself and for the race a welcome as simple as it was sincere. M. Blanchet, a man of 49 years, was most courteous and affable. He chatted pleasantly with his guests about his country and mutual friends of both of his callers. The atmosphere was distinctly tropical, M. Blanchet being dressed in Palm Beach and explaining that he had not had time to unpack his luggage and so dress more suitably for Washington's winter. President Johnson invited the minister to visit Howard University and asked the pleasure of presenting him at some time, to his student body. And between puffs at his inevitable cigarette M. Blanchet assured the president that he would be glad to accept the invitation. Family Accompanied Diplomat M. Blanchet brought with him his family, including his wife, a daughter and a sister. He is not entirely a stranger to Washington, having spent several years here during the war. Between the years 1917 and 1922 he held the positions at the Haitian Legation in Washington of secretary, charge d'Affaires and for a short while, minister. In his own country he has held many positions of honor and responsibility. He has been inspector of public schools, substitute in the Court of Justice, Commissioner of the Supreme Court, and from July, 1932, to September, 1933, was Minister of Foreign Affairs. As Minister of Foreign Affairs he signed the agreement with Norman Armour for the withdrawal of American forces by October, 1934. BALTIMORE BARS A. & P. STORES Colored Boys BALTIMORE, Md.—For the first time in the history of Baltimore,ified action has been developed here along racial lines. The fraternal, the civic, the social and the religious organizations of conservative old Baltimore united behind a new young civile leader, Kiowa Costonie, and carried out successfully a city-wide boycott of Atlantic and Pacific Tea Stores. The movement began over a month ago when Mr. Costonie interviewed managers of both the American, and A.& P. Stores, requesting the placement of Negro clerks in these stores in Negro neighborhoods. The American stores placed 22 boys, under Mr. Costonie's threat of a citywide boycott if it placements were not made before last October 14. The A.& P. placed eight Negro clerks. Fire Colored Boys However, after almost a month, on Monday morning, November 13, the eight boys in the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Stores were discharged, Mr. Costonie interviewed the managers who gave one reason and another. Some said that colored people didn't want the colored boys to wait on them. Others that the boys wouldn't make time, couldn't add, and did not make good store clerks.

THEATERS SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS ENDORSE PROJECT FOR BUILDING Traffic Problem Also Cited by Association in Southwest Section Over 100 organizations, civic associations and individual citizens lined up this week with the Southwest Civic Association in its fight for a new house for Engine Company No. 4, modern equipment for the fire fighters and traffic lights for eight intersections in the Southwest section. Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of a committee on public service of the association, read endorsements from practically every fraternal, civic and religious organization in the city in which these groups heartedly favored new quarters for the engine company. Included in the list were many colored and white concerns in the Southwest. House 65 Years Old The house in which the company is located is 65 years old and was erected in 1869. It is the fourth oldest fire house in the District. The high stone viaduct of the Pennsylvania Railroad directly in front of the building slows up the apparatus in responding to calls. This wall is only 40 feet from the door of the house. Dr. Johnson pointed out that of the 4,576 intersections in the city 200 are in the South, and of the 250 traffic lights here only two are in that section. He stated that this is less than one per cent, although seven per cent of traffic accidents occur in the Southwest, according to figures compiled by the traffic bureau. To Appeal to DePriest The District Commissioners have been advised of the needs, said Dr Johnson, but he stated that it is rather late to have the necessary funds inserted in the 1934 appropriation for the District. Members of the District Committee in Congress will be asked to have the money appropriated so as to be available next year and if this fails Congressman Oscar DePriest will be asked to introduce a measure in the House asking that the money be made available for the fire house and traffic lights. A house costing from $60,000 to $70,000, and equipment costing $22,000 are asked. Two Lights Approved Dr. Johnson pointed out that the District Engineer Commissioner has approved traffic lights at Sixth Street and Maryland Avenue and Seventh Street and Maryland Avenue, but there are other intersections just as dangerous. Before a light is installed the traffic bureau requires that a count must show that 1,000 vehicles have passed a given intersection in an hour over a period of seven hours and 250 pedestrians must pass the same intersection. Many intersections in the Southwest do not have such a large amount of traffic, but the number of motors and pedestrians do not always denote the danger of an intersection, it was said. Seek Community Center The four parent-teacher associations of the Southwest schools endorsed the movement started by the civic group. The former association also made an appeal to the commissioners for a community center, swimming pool, and a gymnasium for children of that locality. John T. Rhines, president of the association, presided at the meeting. Man Pleads Guilty to Housebreaking and Theft Charged with housebreaking and larceny after he is said to have entered premises in the 1300 block of Seventh Street and took overcoats, suits, and shoes, Edward Johnson plead guilty in the District Criminal Court, last week. Jerry Tillman and Joseph Green, accused along with Johnson, plead not guilty to housebreaking and larceny, but were found guilty of petty larceny. They denied participation in the actual crime claiming they received the clothing from Johnson and did not know they were stolen. The trio was represented by Juan Quijano. OCTOGENARIAN WEDS License to marry was granted during the past week to Joseph Mitchell, 80-year-old citizen of Newport News, Va., and Mrs. Henrietta Smith, 49, of 1725 Oregon Avenue, Northwest. Methodist Bishops are Told of Negroes' Tribulations W. A. C. HUGHES ADDRESSES M.E. MISSION BOARD PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (ANP)—Speaking at the annual meeting of the Home Mission Board of the M.E. Church, which met here November 1: composed of bishops in the home field and representatives from all sections of the country, W. A. C, Hughes, director of Negrd work, described present day conditions facing the race. "The Nation" said he, "must not ignore one-tenth of its population and one-ninth of the nation's workers if we are to have permanent industrial or agricultural recovery. A study of the labor situation as it affects Negro workers reveals that they are being discharged in numbers where the recovery act codes force upon employers shorter hours of labor and increased pay. "Three million workers, about one-half of the total number of Negroes who must work for a livelihood are not covered by any of the industrial codes. These workers are chiefly the domestics and the personal servant groups. Employers attempt to justify a smaller wage for Negroes," he stated, "by asserting that they can live cheaper than whites. They can, of course, when they have to. If they are forced to live in alleys and unsanitary communities where they get cheaper rent and if they buy inferior foods and clothing they can live cheaper. Says Methodists Should Back Negro "The church," said Dr. Hughes, "must minister to man in his entirety. Its program must take in the entire range of being. It must be religions, social and economic—and all of these at the same time. The Methodist Episcopal Church not only has the opportunity to serve but also a responsibility to the Negro in our present social and economic crisis. It has more colored members than have all other predominantly white denominations. "The Methodist Episcopal Church has made itself felt in the affairs of government. The denomination is back of temperance reform and the movement for world peace. It may with equal justification put itself back of the interests of the Negro working classes wherever it becomes evident that discrimination threatens the welfare of so large and important a group." A Committee on Race Relations . Is Formed At the request of the Bureau, a committee on race relations was created consisting of Bishop Robert: E. Jonas, of New Orleans, Louisiana; Bishop F. T. Keeney, of Atlanta, Ga.; E. G. Richardson, of Philadelphia, Pa.; John A. Patten, Indianapolis, Ind.; Ernest C. Cherrington, of Westerville, Ohio; Mrs. S. S. Kresge, of Detroit, Mich.; and M. A. Dawber, of Philadelphia, with Doctor E. D. Kohlstedt and W. A. C. Hughes, ex-officio members. The purpose is to promote goodwill in theological semenaries, educational institutions and church institutions. It is further planned to give the support of this institution toward the religious, social, and economic well-being of the colored race. The Bureau has in mind the giving of such aid as may be of service in our National Recovery Aets. SIMPSON MEMORIAL M.E. CHURCH The Rev. W. O.

Since 1929, America has been passing through one of the most critical periods in her history. Although between 1900 and 1919, the aggregate wealth of the land increased 400 per cent, never before has poverty been more acute and suffering more intense. Lawlessness and crime appear to be on the increase. The political, economic, and financial worlds seem dazed after experiencing one of the greatest holocausts in the memory of man. These are the times that try men's souls. Yet, in spite of the many disappointments and reverses, we have many things for which to be thankful. After a tempestiusus voyage, Paul finally escaped the wreckage of his ship and reached the island of Malta with 275 associates in distress. He again set sail in three months and reached Syracuse. He also visited Rheium and Puteolus. Much to his delight Paul found Christians at each place. Tarrying a short while, he set his face towards Rome, to stand before the cruel emperor, Nero. As the shadow of glom hovered him as he approached the April Forum, Paul recognized brethren of the faith. As little bands of sympathizers went out to greet him, Paul thanked God and took courage. It is easy for one to find fault or grumble because of existing conditions. The real Christian THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1933 LEO P.

"Throw Away the Hammer" We should throw away the hammer and take up the horn. While we may not as yet have attained the goal of our ambition, conditions could be infinitely worse. Think of the people across the waters, in certain localities, who would be compelled to travel through dangerous forests and other perils for relief in order to cover a distance equal to that of Washington from Jacksonville. If one, of us becomes suddenly ill, a physician can be summoned in a short space of time. The humanitarian spirit was never so manifest as today. Think of the various charitable agencies which give relief to thousands of discouraged, desititute, and helpless persons. These things we should be thankful for. Paul not only thanked God, but he took courage. His heart received a new life and he was ready to prosecute with vim and vigor the task assigned to him. Times like these need men and women with vision and courage who are not ashamed or afraid to spread the standard of righteousness, fellowship, and truth. Let us face the future with quietness and confidence. "The hardest man in the world to beat Is the man who can laugh in the face of defeat." MINISTERS' WIVES HEAR MRS.

RN AMBULANCES uneral Church Smith's Endorsement Meets Opposition of Lawyers BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL MEMBERS OF BAR OPPOSE E.B. SMITH Special Meeting Called to Have Endorsement Reconsidered In a stormy special call meeting, Thursday evening, the Washington Bar Association sought to have its endorsement of Emory B. Smith for the post of judge of the Police Court reconsidered. The association the previous week endorsed Attorney Smith for position, and endorsed the reappointment of Judge James A. Cobb to the Municipal Court. The special meeting last week was called by Perry W. Howard, George A. Parker and Nathan A. Dobbins. The latter asked the group to reconsider its previous action and pointed out that on the basis of an investigation Mr. Smith did not meet the statutory requirements for appointment as judge. Lacks Requirements Lacks Requirements Mr. Dobbins pointed out that Mr. Smith has not practiced three years immediately preceding his appointment; has voted in New York; is not a resident of the District within the statutor requirements of the District and that he will use the Police Court endorsement in his cancidacy for the post as judge of the Municipal Court. The association is said to have voted 11 to 6 against reconsidering its former action which leaves the matter where it was before the meeting. As it stands Mr. Smith has the endorsement for Police Court judgship. 4 Out for Post There are several candidates for the Municipal judgeship with Armond W. Scott as the most favored, according to high Democratic officials here. Besides Mr. Smith and Mr. Scott two others are known to be out for the post. They are William Houston and R. R. Horner. Besides prominent Democrats in the District Mr. Scott has the endorsement of many party leaders in the states, including many senators. Recorder of Deeds Recorder of Deeds Deserving Democrats also have their eyes on the recorder of deeds post which is held by Jefferson R. Coage, a Republican. However, there has not been any candidates for this position who have come out in the open or have announced their candidacy. PORTERS HOLD THEIR THIRTEENTH CONVENTION Lack to NewMembersPoin to Big Decrease in Work Being Done by Red Caps CHICAGO, Ill. (ANP) — Delegates from coast to coast, including Canada and Mexico, were in attendance at the thirteenth annual convention of the Pullman Porters' Benefit Association of America, convening at the Wabash Avenue Y.M.C.A., here, November 21 to 23. The first day's session was open to the public and many visitors were present. Devotional exercises were conducted by Dr. J. B. Redmond, pastor of St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church. Address of welcome was given by O. Calloway, East Chicago, with the response by A. P. Wofford, Buffalo. No New Members Perry Parker, grand chairman, pointed to a successful financial record for the year in his opening address. The reports of the secretary-treasurer, E. M. Graham, and the comptroller, P. A. Sample, showed the association to be on a solid foundation and operating on a sound basis. No increase in membership was reported, however, due to the number of porters out on furloughs, etc. San Francisco; T. M. Blanton, Philof Calumet Local No. 46, a reception for delegates was held at the Y Tuesday evening. On Wednesday evening a grand ball was given. Officers of the association are Perry Parker, grand chairman, Chicago; J. M. Brown, vice-chairman, Pennyjivania terminal district; P. A. Sample, comptroller, Chicago; E. M.

Young Tells Aim of U.S. Land Grant Schools President of Langston University (Oklahoma) Tells Negro Land Grant Heads that Teachers Prove to be Unprepared for Field Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES To my mind, gratitude is the cardinal virtue. I am thankful that I have a steady position, a fair salary and congenial employment. Federal employees in general, and Negro federal employees in particular, have much to be thankful for. Thomas Willet, writing in the Washington Daily News of November 27, had this to say: "Without a doubt, I think Government employees are the most dissatisfied humans on earth. They do more howling than the big bad wolf that hangs around the door of the man who has no job at all. "I wonder if they realize what it means to have a steady job, fair salary, short hours, vacation without pay (be it only two weeks), and all holidays." No, they are too busy figuring what a terrible time they are having." "The Government won't hold them if they can do better elsewhere." "Now, pipe down, 'Government clerks,' and give the fellow who is walking the streets a chance to do a little moaning." So you see we are not so bad off after all. I wonder how many of my readers knew that although Thanksgiving was first proclaimed in 1864, it was first suggested in 1789. It seems that Abraham Lincoln, then President, proclaimed a national day of celebration for Thanksgiving in 1864, while the House of Representatives and Senate suggested the idea back in 1789. On September 25th of that year Representative Roudinot introduced a resolution on the floor of the House that President Washington set aside a day of sincere thanks to the Lord for affording an opportunity to establish their Government. The original document which destroys the popular belief that official observance originated with the President, was brought to light by James D. Preston, librarian of the Senate, and Col. Edwin A. Halsey, secretary of the Senate, in recent investigations. Now, to return to some reasons why Federal employees in general should be thankful for their lot. My favorite Federal employee organization (the American Federation of Government Employees, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor) reports that the tenor of the replies being received to its questionnaire addressed to members of Congress strengthens the belief that the Senate and the House upon re-convening will be in a frame of mind to readjust the burden now imposed upon the employees of the Government. We know that: this burden goes further than the reduction in pay which the employees have suffered; this burden goes to the refusal of the Government to recognize merit and ability by granting well earned promotions; this burden goes to the denial of proper sick and annual leave; it goes to the ever blighting of the merit system in the civil service. Judging however, from the telegrams and letters received by the A.F. of G.E. (many of which I have seen), Congress will take the path back to decency instead of persisting along the roadway which was hurriedly laid down by the so-called "economy sessions." According to announcements of the Federation more than 100 Senators and Representatives have declared that they favor restoration of the full pay in the Government service. The number, of course, is not conclusive—but it does furnish a satisfactory nucleus upon which to build a majority in both Houses. I wish to publicly express my gratitude to Fred (White House) Pryor for the many good things which he has done and is still doing for me. As a gesture of appreciation to my readers, I will stop here thus punishing them about one-half the usual time. See you next week. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (ANP)—Declaring that Negro schools were following too closely in the pathway of white institutions, without taking into consideration the background and aims of the students whom they were serving, President I. W. Young of Langston University, Langston, Oklanoma, observed during the recent meeting of Negro Land Grant Presidents. "The growing interest of Land Grant Colleges as education centers for Negroes, invites my attention to no small degree and challenges my thinking when I seek to promote and present the best for the youth of my race. "I suggest that mission of the land grant school for the Negro is to lay a firm foundation of economic stability, acceptable social status, intelligent thinking and reasoning, with a mental discipline for a scientific interpretation of life and its philosophies. "To do this successfully there must be cultivation of ability to make a research in the field of Negro agricultural education. Such has been and is now the processes in the institutions of liberal arts medicine, dentistry, engineering and in the white land grant colleges We have in large measure tied or to the kite tail of the white land grant colleges' findings without considering their full and free application to our own needs and their adjustments.

As a gesture of appreciation to punishing them about one-half the North Carolina Governor Speaks at Shaw on Founder's Day RALEIGH, N.C.—Gov. J. C. B. Ehringhaus, of North Carolina, in delivering the Founder's Day address at Shaw University on Monday, November 20, declared with respect to Shaw University that "to have ministered to the educational aspirations of 10,000 young men and women and to have sent out for useful service throughout the land 2,000 or more graduates is in itself a record sufficient to establish this institution not only as one of real ministration but as having a potential influence upon the life and well-being of your race and the entire Commonwealth which cannot be measured or overestimated." The Governor in describing in detail the progress which has been made in recent years in the educational program vironment demands a scientific knowledge of production. Have we produced any masters of the soil who can take 20 acres of land and make them produce the equivalent of a 40-acre production? Have we learned the science of animal breeding and hog production that will bring us greater return for our effort? Have we produced teachers of agriculture who can teach students to bring about these and other practical results that can raise our power and strengthen our well-being. "Even now our agricultural education is in the classroom. We are developing agricultural philosophers but no artisans. What is to become of the great mass that must depend upon the soil and that for many years to come? Our teachers of vocational agriculture can do excellently upon the blackboard in the classroom but are utter failures on the field. The fault lies largely in our curriculum. "There is too much theory and not enough practice. Our resources are not sufficient to justify our present aims. We must adjust our efforts to meet present demands. In other words, our effort should be to train the group to produce more in the field and the shop. Producing does not necessarily mean quantity. It means quality as well.

Secondly, in the last decade there has been a gain of more than 1,200 teachers in the colored schools of the state, or 23 per cent." The program included besides the principal exercises at which the Governor spoke, the brief memorial service at the grave of Dr. Henry Martin Tupper, founder of the institution, a luncheon, and the broadcast of an address by President Wm. Stuart Nelson on the aims of Shaw University.

The student body proved a very enthusiastic audience and appreciated deeply the necessity and meaning of "giving until it hurts." Plans are being formulated for the annual Christmas exhibit. This year an effort is being made to bring to the girls information and inspiration to work efficiently. With this in view a number of our business women who are working successfully have accepted the invitation to come to the school on the evening of December 14 to demonstrate, to illustrate and to speak of the qualities that make for success. A very interesting program is being planned and it is hoped that the parents, friends and patrons of the school will reserve that date. An exhibit that is unusual is promised. Francis Junior High School Thanksgiving observance takes the form of an assembly presentation by Section 9A3, under the instruction of Miss E. N. Brown, "American Pilgrim Days" will be given, including scenes from "Miles Standish" and "Hiawatha." The President's proclamation will also be read.

The Francis School Orchestra is now preparing Christmas music to be played as part of the Christmas school program. On last Friday an all-boy secession, 9A4, entertained the school at assembly with a varied program. A play based on the activities and oratory of Daniel Webster; and a broadcasting event during which Maurice Jackson displayed ribbons, medals, and various trophies, over 28 in all, which he has won in swimming contests. In a national swimming event held at Troy, New York, Jackson won second place, swimming 110 yards in one minute thirteen seconds. The group Leaders Club is dramatizing proper manners and conduct at social gatherings, and to and from theatres.

At the Parent-Teacher meeting Thursday, the principal presented for consideration the question of "Questionable Houses in the Community," the opportunity the civil works program offers in providing means for the establishment of suitable recreational centers for Southwest boys and also girls; plans for caring for the needy pupils of the school, and the purpose of the Christmas play which is to be given by the school on December 20. The association appointed a committee to investigate certain complaints of improper influences in the community, with a view of having these places closed. The project of creating a social atmosphere in the cafeteria was so successful that the council members no longer have to take the initiative and so they have turned their attention to the task of popularizing the morning "Sings" at Randall. The "Sings" begin at 8:45 and last for 10 minutes. To date Section 9-2, of which Miss Milton is the teacher, has the largest number of children present as well as the most interesting song program. The Student Council is pleased to note that more teachers are there each morning to be with the children during this special project time. The 7th Grade sections, which heretofore have been behind the other grades in helping to make the cafeteria attractive, were officially complimented this week for tastefulness of their table decoration scheme. At its last meeting the Student Council decided to plan an honor assembly as an incentive to the different sections which are trying to improve their records in tardiness and class effort. The report for section attention and effort in classes for the week ending November 17, sets a new standard at Randall in number of A's received. Out of a possible score of 50, the girls of Section 9A3 had a rating of 43 A's, while the boys of the same section had 42 A's. This is also the first time that the boys and girls of the same section have stood at the head of the list. Section 9B6 came next with an average of 37 A's. The Camp Fire Girls Club meets each Monday afternoon from 2:15 to 3:00, under the direction of Miss E. R. Clarke, offering an opportunity for what Dr. Crane calls "Civic habits" development.

The chairman of the Social Group is conducting her program according to suggestions from the little book entitled "Manners and Conduct in School and Out," by the deans of girls in Chicago high schools. Terrell Junior High School The World Tourist Club of Terrell Junior High School was organized for the purpose of giving the members a sympathetic understanding and an appreciation of the various people of the world, as well as closer contacts among the club members themselves. The club's officers are: president, Wilhemina Jackson; vice-president, Ollie Jones; secretaries, Janie Young and Florence Ford. The pupils of the Arachne Art Club are preparing articles for a bazaar to be held the week before Christmas. Many articles suitable for gifts will be sold from a flower and art booth. Lillian Colston, 8A1, its president, is quite anxious that the members help to make it successful. Members of the Pallette Club are at work on stage properties for the Thanksgiving play, Jason Carter and William Banks are responsible for the success of the various pieces of work. Junior Red Cross Fifty menu cards were sent to the U. S. Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama, for Thanksgiving. The menu covers were made by pupils in the art classes under the direction of Miss M. E. Barton. Student Council Student government organization is at present directing its attention to the traffic squad. Each home room has appointed two of its members to see that all doors are opened for the passing of classes, and to serve as directors of traffic throughout the building. Mr. W. B. Stinson is in charge of student government. All students in 8B, 9A, and 9B have recently taken standard tests in the fundamentals of arithmetic. The 8A2 boys who belong to Boy Scout Troop 508 at Dunbar on Friday night.

The Magic Circle Club, sponsored by Mrs. L. M. Hillman ha- small radio and microphone. They have given several programs at their meetings on Tuesdays. Last Tuesday, Catherine, Cobb and Lillie Su- cce 8/1 metized "Aunt ELEVE for each meeting. The last per- formers were Frank Felder, Sec. 8A2 and Augustus Monroe, Sec. 7B7. Members of the Travel Club are enjoying many interesting activities. Their last trip was taken to the Agricultural Building. A visit was also made to the Washington Monument that day. Saturday mornings have become quite interesting for members of the Travel Club. Miss A. R. Pettros is the sponsor. Thanksgiving The pupils of Terrell exhibit in the past few days a very gala as well as thankful spirit. They were entertained by parties and plays, among the latter being "The First Thanksgiving" presented by pupils of the dramatic class, under the direction of Mrs. A. M. Tyson Miss H. B. Maxwell, Miss E. S. Thornton and Miss R. H. Swann. Club Members Boys' Club Meeting On Tuesday, November 28, the Boys' Club project was presented to the teachers and interested friends in the community by Principal V. E. Chase and Assistant Superintendent G. C. Wilkinson. Among other speakers at the time were Judge F. L. Bendley, Capt. Rhoda Milliken and Mrs. E. K. Peoples. These pledged the support of their organization to the movement, which is, to give the boys in the immediate school community wholesome recreation as soon as the gymnasium is ready for occupancy. Armstrong High School There was much cheering by the cheer leaders at the football assembly on Monday, November 20, but there was much more cheering at its Tuesday morning assembly after the victory of Armstrong in the Dunbark-Armstrong football game. Coach E. P. Westmoreland gave a review of the football activities for the year and introduced the members of the team. D. B. Evans and Benjamin Washington gave brief talks. Captain Brock presented the Cardozo and Dunbark footballs to G. D. Houston, the principal. Mr. Houston explained to the student body the Community Chest activities at an assembly on Wednesday. The honor award for last advisory was made to B8, Mrs. E. W. Smith's section and accepted by Beulah King. One of the most outstanding events of the year took place on Wednesday afternoon, November 22, when the seventh annual luncheon in honor of the seniors was given by the faculty of Armstrong. The cafeteria was decorated and the tables were made attractive with potted plants and yellow paper flowers. The All-High School Orchestra rendered several selections. Mr. Houston was toastmaster. Responses to his welcome were made by Leola Duketts, president of the February class, and Percy Taylor, president of the June class. The principal address was made by Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of the public schools. One of the most enjoyable features of the program was a skit, "Aunt Matilda's Will," presented by three ladies of the faculty, Mrs. C. L. Blanchet, Mrs. E. S. Burrell, and Mrs. M. E. Wedee. Raymond Alexander gave a toast to the seniors and the affair closed with the Alma Mater sung by teachers and seniors. Others present at the luncheon were Mrs. Garnet C. Wilkinson, Mrs. G. David Houston and Mrs. Anna B. Weaver. The second monthly mother's meeting, a project in adult education conducted by the Mother-Daughter Committee, was held Friday night. Miss I. C. Williams, the chairman of the committee discussed an outline prepared by Miss Swann. Mrs. E. B. Howard presented some type cases to the mothers and Miss I. M. Hall led the discussions. Several mothers took part, among whom were Mrs. Harriet Slaughter and Mrs. Bolling. Mrs. G. David Houston and Mrs. Anna B. Weaver also gave brief talks. It was decided to hold the next meeting on January 19. The Junior Red Cross Thanksgiving assembly was held Monday, November 27, and 46 baskets of groceries were brought in the auditorium by the different representatives and placed on the stage. The section which did not contribute baskets gave money, Warren Johnson, president of the Junior Red Cross, presided. The vice president, Daisy Scott, gave a report on the work of the Junior Red Cross last year. Clarice Skipper made an appeal to the students to support the drive which would begin on December 4.

TRIBUNE 1933 ALL-HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM Honorable mention: Logan (end), Armstrong; Fenwick (end), Dunbar; Briscoe (back), Armstrong; Tracy (end), Cardozo. Edgar P. Westmorela's Armstrong High School team divides honors with the Purple and White of Cardozo, coached by Jack Young, in the matter of number of men on the first mythical eleven. Each places four men on the outfit, one more than is allotted to Charlie Pinderhughes's Dunbar squad. The second team, however, with five Foets, finds Armstrong, the champion team, with four, and Cardozo, two. First Team Second Team Shepherd, Armstrong . L.E. . Rustin, Dunbar Contee, Dunbar . L.T. .

Williams, Dunbar extra TWELVE A writer, coach, critic or whatnot, having to listen, the four best men from the wealth of ends provided by the 1953 scholastic series, will find himself confronted with a problem the like of which has not had its equal in many years. There were no less than seven great ends—so far no greatest goes in high school football—in the limelight during the season just ended. Many Good Ends Of the seven, Shepherd, diminutive flankman of the championship Armstrong High School eleven, was probably the stand-out. Shepherd, rated by his coaches as one of the best ever to don a scholastic uniform in Washington, excelled in both offensive and defensive play. Spells, Jack Young's Cardozo mainstay, makes an ideal running mate for the Techite. Both are deadly tacklers, rest under punts and capable handlers of forward passes. Rustin and Covington deserves rating just below the first pair. The lanky Poet, coming into his own late in the season, showed just about the best defensive efforts of any participant in the crucial Dunbar-Arnstrong game. The edge enjoyed by the Shepherd-Spell team lies in their consistency throughout the season and in their superiority in offensive play. Covington's gilt is displayed by his splendid performance in the game against Dunbar despite a badly wrenched ankle which incapacitated him for several days after the game. Tackles Match Well Moving into the line we find Contee, of Dunbar and Dixon, of Armstrong, holding the upper hands in the tackle position. This pair, in the estimation of the writer, cannot be improved upon as an ideal team. The Poet had no equal in the matter of breaking through and scurrying plays of his opponents before they could be started, and the latter was exceptionally effective as a relentless charger and blocker. His presence in the line had much to do with the success of the Armstrong attack. Tom Williams was easily the guard stand-out of the season. The Crimson and Black captain showed himself to be the peer of all the defensive linemen despite the responsibility of the captaincy of his eleven. He, with Stanton, gave Dünbar the advantage over her opponents at the center of the line. The two played superb defensys football and accounted for the MME.

N.W. Between E and F Streets duties of stellar guards in every respect. Pivot Material Medigre No credit should be taken from Herbie Tobias because the high schools were not particularly strong at the center position this year. The Purple and White pivot man did a good job, and would have probably won mention even had his two opponents shown something worthy of merit. He was an accurate and smooth passer and a master diarmostician. If any all-star selection was ever made with a conscience free of fear of criticism, the writer can well sit back and name Steve Wiggins, of Armstrong, as quarterback and the go on into the land of peaceful slumber. No back on any school team in any game in the conference played with the consistency and versatility the crack Westmoreland ball-carrier displayed during the 1933 grid campaign. Wiggins not only showed superior generalship in the game against the Poets, but the quiet, unassuming youngstee gave a beautiful exhibition of running, passing and kicking throughout the season to establish himself as the outstanding triple-threat of the series. Yous truly actually belives that Wiggins could call the spot within a radius of 15 feet where his pumps would drop. Cardozo Wins Half-back Berths Lamar and Robinson, two young speedsters who ran side by side in the Cardozo backfield are my choices for the half-back field. Both are very much alike in their ball-carrying. Speed of foot, shiftiness and a change of pace were three marked features of the pair which bore the brunt of the Clerk attack. They, with Wiggins and Harrison, also of Armstrong, found out a backfield which can boast of every asset essential to a star quartet. Harrison, though handicapped by an old injury, fought his way into all-star mention through sheer grit. A driver, from the very start of a play in which he was the central figure, the Armstrong fullback could be counted on for the ever vital short gain. His speed of foot gained him many laurels as the most consistent ground-gainer of the Orange and Blue Aggregation. Second Team Canâble It is to be regretted that space will not permit a detailed discussion of the players named for the second team. This choice, however, should come in for no little praise, as it holds players who were very nearly on a par with those selected for the first team. It would prove quite capable if gotten together for a game with any sort of scholastic combination. Downingtown, Mid-Atlantic Favorite, Again Beaten DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. = Beginning what it hopes to make its annual home-coming game, Downing-town dispointed its alumni. Up until it met Bowie last week, Coach Hunt's protéges were the favorites to cop the championship in the M3A. Its 7-0 defeat by Delaware, Saturday, virtually put Downing-town out of the race. Led by Captain Wynder, the boys from Delaware played a great game of ball which spelled doom for the Pennsylvanians. The playing of Wynder was the outstanding feature of the game. Although outplayed in the first half Delaware was enabled to win because of a fumble by Crump of a punt on Downingtown's 1-yard line. The ball was recovered by a Delaware player and Wynder crossed the line for the one touchdown of the game. Gibbs went through the line for the extra marker. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1933 1930 The Lions of Lincoln University proved lambs before the on rush of the Howard University Bisons at Atlantic City, Thursday night before a holiday crowd estimated at 6,000. Lincoln's touchdown was made in the final quarter following two blocked kicks. Williams, attempting to get the ball away, was not quick enough and Berger broke through to down him on Howard's 13-yard line. Williams attempted to punt again and Robeson, Lincoln's 200-pound left tackle, crashed through the line, blocked the kick, recovered and tumbled over the Howard goal line. The extra point was made by Ward. H. U. ROOTERSWERE TOO FEW FOR EXCURSION Only 210 Buy Tickets; 300 Needed; So Train Doesn't Move Two hundred ten persons, students and friends of the Howard University football team, were disappointed yesterday morning when the proposed excursion to Atlantic City, N.J., the scene of the Howard-Lincoln Thanksgiving Day game, fell through. Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad, over which the excursion train was to be run, refused to allow the train to be boarded. An insufficient number of ticket sales was the cause of the action. The group was in possession of tickets purchased at the Howard University cashier's office. The reduced rate had been offered in the belief that at least 300 purchasers would be attracted. At $3,000 each, the necessary amount of $100 to move the train would have been netted. The Interstate Commerce Commission requires this amount of business for a railroad company seeking to run a special-rate train between states. Several conferences were held between Professor Frank Coleman, chairman of the Howard University Board of Athletic Control, and Harry A. Karr, division passenger agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, but no satisfactorily solution to the problem was reached. It was finally decided that an additional tax of $1.30 would have to be paid by each of the 210 ticket-holders before the train could be allowed to run. This was not forthcoming; many of the students in the crowd complaining that if they were required to pay this additional fee, they would be without money to cover other expenses of the trip. Six buses of the Blue and Gray Sightseeing Lines were mustered into service by officials of the railroad company, who appeared equally as disappainted as the prospective excursionists. Many of the latter refused to travel by bus and demanded a refund of their money. When the last of the buses had left, there were still some who had not been accommodated. A proposed excursion sponsored by the Elder Men's Relief Association had fallen through the night before. The train, scheduled to leave at midnight, Wednesday, had only 81 ticket-holders. The responsibility for the disappointment of the 210 persons could not be laid to either of the two parties concerned. Howard University was acting as an agent in the purchase of a block of 300 tickets, and the railroad company was compelled to act as it did by law. Wilberforce Rests for West Virginia State Game WILBERFORCE, Ohio. (ANP) The Wilberforce University football team tailed last week end.

This match was expected to furnish some fancy pin-spilling, but both teams appeared to be a little below their usual form.

Tony Canzoner, former lightweight title-holder was the little Cuban boxer's conqueror. The end came 2 minutes and 30 seconds after the start of the round. Canzoner prepared Chocolate for the kill with a series of telling body punches which the lighter boy could not shake off as he had numerous other fights with more than 200 adversaries. Fighting back instinctively the little colored by refused to take his guard down for the full time from the start of the stanza. For two minutes, the Kid, obviously hurt, stood accepting the pounding without so much as flinching. But the inevitable had to happen. The wily legs which had carried him to safety in so many other similarly precarious prelatticisms, refused to respond with the catlike agility which marked Chocolate's ring battles. As he sought to cover, Chocolate's arms dropped. Canzonese waiting for just this moment, stepped in and sent a crashing right hand into the unprotected chin. The game little Negro sank to the caivas, a badly beaten man.

The coast lightweight champion again proved himself superior by giving the Mexican boy a thorough shellacking. He showed that he could probably have repeated the knockout i' he had chosen to extend himself. This was sensed by fans throughout the audience who marvelled at his lightening left, his marvellous speed, footwork, and many expressions were heard such as "He can knock him out when ever he wants to." Joe Gans, or the original Peter Jäckson never showed a faster left or more terrific right than Peter did from the first bell of the first round until the last clang of the gong in the tenth. Phila.

The latter received on his 20-yard merger and advanced the ball to the 25. Johnson got 2 yards at left end. Again the Lincoln 58-yard back was called on the 25-yard mark. Holtman recovering for Howard on the Lion 20-yard strip. Ware cut 8 yards at right guard and Sewell made a first down by adding 8 more just inside the line and awarded Ware's fumble on the next play. Johnson silled through his right tackle for 4 yards. Again he fumbled as he was called to crush the same bounded ball. Johnson covered himself and averaged the danger of the resultant miscue. Johnson kicked to Ware on the later's 34-yard line. Sewell cut 5 yards at center. Ware punted outside the line and charged. Johnson lost 2 yards on a thrust at the right flank of the Bison line and then punted. Ware, receiving in mid-field, returned to the Linebacker 44-yard line, where he was dropped by Toutley and Ware. Ware was stopped cold on an attempted catch at the center of the line. A pass to Sewell was incomplete. Ware punted. The ball bounded out of bounds on the Orange and Blue 20-yard ribbon. Penn failed to grab on an attempted circle of his own right. He kicked. Ware, receiving, was After Sewell had passed off 4 yards through the skim off guard, Ware was thwarted on a thrust at the Lincoln off tack, and then Sewell shpgged me up through his own right tack. I moved 2 yards on his left tack. Ware added 1 off tack and Sewell travelled the remaining distance for the second successive first down. A Lincoln sonic rafter out in typical Lincoln spirit as her team captain called time. Oware, in a beautiful exhibition of line plunging and repressing his field, totaled the bal 14 yards over his own last tkts: to the Lion 15-yard marker. A apinser and delayed buck. Lion's envoy on the ball on the Orange and Blut 11-yard ribbon. Holmman's 7 yards on a drive through the midsection of the line, and Were's 4 yards over the Lion's ground line. Were's 4 yards placed placement. Score: Howard, 6; Lincoln, 0. Prun took Seward's kielch and returned to the Lincoln 29-yard line before being down. Penn kicked to Were, the latter with his own 25-yard line as the outrage rattles. SECOND QUARTER SECOND QUARTER After Stuart's death, he was on a thrust at church, and he was 16 years old, pretty for baptism. He pointed from his own cool line, the columning weave to midfield where MacArthur and Gallier do stand. MacArthur and Gallier stood on the same sideline, 22 yrs in front around left end and 22 yrs in front around left end with unfinished if Lincoln was cannulated the yards for illegal use of the hands on offence. He took Paul's priestly point of the game on his own 25 end and retreated the ball on his 35-grade side. Lincoln gave out 6-bounds. Hilliard made 19 yards on a shot of his 25 right end. Soell, who accounted for 15 yards, continued 5 yards for one line. The net result was a 2-yard loss for the Blooms. A stance was 1 for 1. Wade hit his sought to touch the center of the line, and on his 25 right end he touched the ball, elicited it to 1 for the foul line where it was on the 5' line and White's players. Perrin's poor kick from behind his goal was on the line on the line. This point for Holmeman, entitled 2 more at right end. Wade added 2 more at 15' ground. Words were to MacArthur was searched out of the kit by Coleman, who ran from the sideline to the line. The Lincoln was received the Penn furnished and the ball bound back to his 12-yard line, but fortunately they recovered. Again Penn kicked back. How did he recover? Were on a triple pass, got 7 yards right end. On a similar play, with Sewell as the intended ball carrier, a fumor refuted an intended cobble receive. Jingjing refuted 8 off the ball. The ball and elected to keen possession of the ball. After Coffman had gotten a yard at center, Gitter broke through to a propelled cross and delivered back. For all his success, this time the ball went into the stands after hard left the obstacle field at the back. Howard was punished twice for offside on player in the third. Peld child in 12-yard penalty for holding. Lincoln was penalized 2 yards for being offside. A person hurdled. Sewell curled. Coleman intercepted Ware's pass, but was immediately deprived. Johnson was stopped without gain as Oxy boxed the interferences on an attempt ring of his end and mailed his man After Johnson's pass to Poinn and gave him the team was penalized 5 yards for off-side play. Stone, Howard, & Iafonov, 6. THIRD QUARTER Robinson kicked off, Johnson received and was down on the 30-yard line. Sowell met an innominate object as he sought to pierce the center of the line. Ware made the pass and Johnson was sent off at left tackle. Hollowman valued 2 yards at right and left before his team was penalized 8 for off-side play. Ware 8. The half buttle hit on Linfountin 55 yard out. Johnson literally shot through a hole just inside right tackle for a 19-yard gain. Penn got 5 at 5, Jackson 3 at 8 right tackle, and Jackson got 5 more as center fielder. Hollowman threw through, could sion when the Pennsylvania quarterback elected to change his tactics and pass. The toss was intercepted by Sewell and the visitors succeeded in moving out of danger. The second occasion resulted in the Lincoln touchdown. It came late in the final quarter, after two successive blocks, of intended punts by Barry Williams. The first kick bounded back within the shadow of the Blue and White goal posts, only to be retrieved by Bish Hart, who proved to be Howard's saviour for the moment. On the next play, however, Toby Robeson, 235-pound tackle, snatched the oval as it caromed off the tee of Williams and drove over for the touchdown. From that point on it was a full-fledged battle. Julie Martin's boys strove vainly to put over a tying six-pointer. Forward passes were flung high, wide and handseme in an effort to negotiate the distance to the goal line. And Verdell's boys, admittedly weak against acerial play, fought equally as hard to retain the lead. A touchdown and successful extra point try would snatch victory from the Washingtonians. And so closed the football seasons of the two teams which occupy the spotlight of Eastern gridirons year in and year out without regard to the class of football they play during the seasons. Neither: Howard, the winner of this contest, nor Lineolin, the loser, gained nor lost any prestige as a result of the affair. well, Penn, not to be denied, made 5 yards at left guard, but on the next play at pass was called, and Johnson's leave was extended. He was downed to the Blazer and White 27-yard line before he was downed. Sewell got 62 yards on a next reverse of his 56-foot after sliding through the Iliquids left tackle. Candler and Johnson and White 27-yard line and both were removed from the game by their respective coeches. He failed to gain as he lost his footing on a run of his right end. A 5-yard off-side penalty was imposed on Howard, who earned to be having trouble squivelling this gain of the ball. Sewell lost his footing on a run of his right end. Intended punches through right end. Howard was paralyzed 15 yards for illusional use of the hands. Were Hickok, Cohen receiving, was downed on his own 28-yard Clark, substitutes for Johnson, not 1 yard at right foul. As Paint punched, Hoyer was punched up 15 yards for rounding the keeper. Colman, on a cross line, pitched 9.48 yards at right foul and Paint ridden at left foul. Penn's 11-yard punt went outlits on the left shoulder. An attempted left-half failed when Ware fumbled. Ware failed to gain as captain. But this same player was the pitcher. Penn received Ware's punt and returned it from his 18 to 18 pitched at foul. A Penn, to Colman, was inimpossible on the second end. Ended. Hoyer, 6, Linford, 0. FOURTH QUARTER A series of unsuccessful line plays last month for the position of the Lilac for Holloway. After Holloway had been stopped without gals, Howard was penalized for holding 19 yards. A bait to the Lilac for Hope Howard was penalized for holding 19 yards on the Lilac 22-yard strip. Penn foolishly trampled a pass on the first play from dog in his own touchline, show the bell into the waitful arms of Holloway, who trapped 38 yards to a touchdown for theylvist. Ware's place kick went securely between the uprights. Score, Howard, 17. I lined in. Ward took. Savell's kick-off and returned to his own 38-yard ribbon. Smithley's pass to over the shortest yard was over the 38-yard ribbon and the ball to the Howard 29-yardribbon. After Porter bird failed on an estimated 38-yard hit, the pass was tried again. This time it was incomplete. A second bird pulled down and Lilac was beaten 5 yards. Again Smithley beaten on a nail. Falls—but a yard at right guard, and who's ticked. Parkery, taking the oyst out of the air, yөγдө d'ed on his 21st and half-half. Suitney got 8 yards over, right table, but on the next blue, little toed end on at the top.

Pinderhughes, coach of the Dunbar High School football team, and a member of the Eastern Board of Football Officials, from the position as referee of the Howard-Lincoln game, were confirmed late this week. Edwin B. Henderson, head of the Department of Physical Education in the local high schools, was named in Pinderhughes's stead According to the story as related to the Tribune, Pindherhughes was first advised of the dissatisfaction of the Lincoln authorities over the naming of him as the referee for the "classic" after the Lincoln-A. and T. game, several weeks ago. Schedules of the Colosed Interlegiate Athletie Association, of which both Howard and Lincoln are members, had been released since early in the season. These schedules listed Pindherhughes, as the official in charge of that game. Until Tuesday of this week, however, no official word had come to Pindherhughes as to the proposed change of officials. A telephone call from the Pennsylvania school, put Pindherhughes in communication with T. F. Jamison, an official of the graduate body. The latter requested that the Dunbar teacher "gracefully withdraw" from the referee's role. To be Fired Anyhow After having been assured that he would be fired despite any unwillingness on his part to voluntarily resign as reeferee, Pinderhughes stated that he would give up. A letter from Lincoln indicated that the objection to Pinderhughes was based on the fact that he is a graduate of Howard and a former Bison football captain. Henderson, likewise, is a former Howard man. He has, however, served in JACK MORRIS 5 REASSEMBLED CHESTER, Pa.—Despite all reports to the contrary that the Jackie Dee va would not be in the field this season, such rumors were given a sebback when the Delaware politician called his men before him Monday and issued instructions. The same aggregation that turned aside Morgan College, Lincoln University, Patterson Prosa, Plessas Plains, champs of the nation's capital, and completed a streak of 25 consecutive victories has been reassembled. Captain Lonnie Shields, the six foot three inch guard, along with those peerless forwards, Slats Davis and Rock Moore, and the elongated Hau Handy all will be within the fold when the opening wildle blows.

This did not settle well with Howard officials who are planning to make a trip to Florida on a train which leaves Atlantic City shortly after the game with Lincoln is closed. Thay, however, refused to offer any serious resistance to the plan. Pinderhughes, meanwhile, was left without a Thanksgiving assignment. COVERING THE BOWLING WORLD BY JACK WILLIAMS Hello everyone! Again I bring good news to the local bowling fans. The Victors went to Baltimore Sunday and brought home the bacon once more. This match rolled last Sunday in the Monumental City, was the last block of a home-and-hops set-to consisting of ten games. We know the winners, the Victors, of course. The boys from the District were offered very little opposition, for their total number of 285 points adding 57 points to their previous lead of 208. The outstanding feats of the matches were the high game of Joe Beard (Victor's) 150, and the high set (four games) also won by Joe Beard. 306. Other highlights of the game were: high game, Cooper (Ball, B.C.) 130, and high set, Cooper, 577. Cooper has proved himself to be a real appleton, for he knows how to cut bells. One incident was in the last game. Heying picked out pins one and five on his first shot, he nailed number three, sliding it over to the left, thus removing pins 2, 4, 7, also, 6, 8, 9 and 10. Baltimore's bowlers were exponents of curves in all their glory, with the exception of "Mouse" Murray and Haider. On the drives in Baltimore, it is necessary to have a good curve control because the alarms are faster, but on the Masonic Temple drives, the alarms are slower and a straight ball is at its best.

FOURTEEN Theatrically Speaking! With ANDY ANDERSON The new horizon for the weekend ends shows "Footlight Parade" looming big on the Ninth Street sector. Other houses than the Raphael, which is showing this film, also have fine offerings for the menu. Last week carried what I term the finest of the current stage entertainment at both of the houses catering to such shows. At the Lincoln a dashing little bit of dynamite made her initial appearance on the American stage. Miss Betty Rowland, daughter of George Rowland, one of the finer old-time stage characters, and this young lady proceeded to smash her way into the hearts of the large crowds which saw her perform. With vitality and abundant reserve energy reflected in her every motion she was a sensation. The reports sent ahead that she was a possible rival to Jo Baker are well founded. On the same bill we had the pleasure of laying eyes on another fine performer, Lethia Hill, in a spot other than the Cotton Club, and we were well satisfied with the brand of work shown by Miss Hill for her D.C. fans. 'Twould be well to have her back again. On this same bill was still another character who was a favorite with us; young Mister Willie Bryant, of the slender body, but who was in every blooming bit of action which took place on the stage, in his role as M.C. Crackshot Hackley and Chunk Robinson furnished the comic antics. By the way, the former is the hubby of Deris Rheubottom, in case you didn't know, and between them they own a swelegant ect shop in Newark, N.J. The famed "Black River Giant" John Henry—himself—is the current Lincoln feature—supported ably by Shelton Brooks—the Four Barons, songsters of "Strike Me Pink," and a cast of 50. The presentation of Mr. Hernandez comes in elaborate settings, with decidedly novel effects. The chorus of dancing beauties performs some neat dance executions. Down on Tea Street, the Stiefels were also handing us a good show, featured by the clever Bea Foote, and her house-warming singing. Miss Foote is one of those very versatile singers who can both sing and dance, and do both well. With the Jimmy Lunceford band on the stage, the show was well balanced, for young Tommy Stevens again made the hearts of Louie Armstrong's fans go pitpat, with his high—yea, very high—B flats. The Ristina Banks chorus did the hoofing. Jones and Wilson were the clowns. The presence of dynamic Myra Johnson of the Howard bill adds a zest such as only Myra Johnson can impart. Your Man is strong for this girl. The Three Palmer Bros, and their sweet harmony are with us again, with the "Three Drifters" doing the dance taps.

BROADWAY OFFERS DUKE ELLINGTON IN A SHORT On Sunday and Monday, December 3-4, the Broadway Theatre management will bring to the screen, Duke Ellington, featuring his latest musical success, "A Bundle of Blues." Mr. Ellington, whom Washingtonians are proud to acknowledge as one of their native sons, has not only made a name for himself as a radio entertainer in America, but was acclaimed on his recent tour of Europe, as one of the foremost modern musicians, in the world. During his stay abroad, he enjoyed the distinction of rendering music for the Royal Family of England. He is also numbered among the well known composers of modern music, and has given to the public a number of unusual compositions, among which are numbered "Mood Indigo," "Black and Tan," and "Sophisticated Lady." The featured picture for Sunday and Monday, will be "Laughing at Life," featuring Victor McLaglen. The high paid radio jokesters give people free tickets to their broadcasts so that the fans out in the ether will know that someone is laughing at the jokes, even if the fans aren't.

CLARENCE MUSE STARS IN NEW PICTURE WITH RICHARD BARTHELMESS HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—(ANP)—Clarence Muse, who has set a record here by appearing in some fifty pictures during the space of eighteen months, has just finished the sequences in one of the most important roles in his career. He is appearing with Richard Barthleimess in "The Massacre," super production by Warner Brothers. The picture portrays the many injustices practiced upon the American Indian by the government agents and features an Indian whose name is Thunder Horse, played by Barthleimess. The action begins in a wild west show at the World's Fair. Muse is his valet; but when the young chieftain returns to the reservation to look after the interests of his dying father, Clarence Muse, known as "Sam" accompanies him, becomes his pal and confidant and remains by his side through many stirring episodes. The two present a fine tie-up, the American Indian and American Negro fighting for justice. Barthleemess who is one of the leading character artists in the film colony is thoroughly social minded and at all times has had a thorough appreciation of the Negro. Muse's friends regard his work in "The Massacre" as one of his best roles.

But, dear member, please tell her what to look for next time, and was her face red? Did you know that: Silence is the virtue of those who are not wise; and that every path has its puddles; and that a gift long waited for is solid, not given; and that all time is lost that might have been better employed; and that the weakness of the enemy makes our strength; and that he who has no heart must have hives; and that a hare is not caught with a drum; and that the skin fits closer than your shirt; and that it costs three bucks to see the game. Thanks giving, and nothing to slay at home; and Chols will see you when you come back. ALEXANDRIA NEWS MRS. ALMA P.

CLASSIFIED TO TELL OF JOHN HENRY IN MUSIC CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — They have written stories and N.C. and sung folk songs about "John Henry" and now the cycle is complete with a symphonic ballad based on the doings of the Negroes' mythical hero and strong man. The work was done by Lamar Stringfield, Southern composer and musician, and will be included in the winter repertoire of the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra, which he conducts. Casting about for a folk epic as the background for music typically Southern, the composer decided upon the life and herculean deeds of the Mississippi Valley giant whose "hands were big as hams," who toted cotton bales like other men toted sacks of flour. Beore jotting down a single note Stringfield spent several months studying the legends of "John Henry," regarded by some as having been of flesh and blood, by others as the fictitious creation of imaginative Negroes bent on having a racial superman.

For the same period 3,472 colored men and 50 colored women were lynched. Since 1919 mobs have lynched 443 Negroes, including six colored women, and 44 whites. In one year, 1929, four whites were lynched out of a total of 12 for the year. 25 Lynched in 1933 The association's tabulation shows 25 lynchings thus far in 1933. "The lynchings this year more than in any recent year, demonstrate the utter futility of depending upon local or state officials to stamp out mob violence," said Walter White, N.A.A.C.P., secretary. "The most amazing and menacing attitude, of course, has been expressed by Governor Robp, who goes down in history as the first American governor to openly ablicate to mob rule. We are asking each of our thirteen branches in California to demand his impeachment. Anti-Lunching Law "Our association's legal committee is now drafting a federal antitrust law for introduction as soon as Congress convenes in January. If the federal government can act against kidnapping and racketeering it ought to be able to act against mob violence. We are convinced that only federal machinery and federal officials, uninfluenced by local sentiment, can cone with lynching." Beginning with 1919, the lynehing total by years has been: 1919.....83 (5 white) 1920.....65 (8 white; 1 women) 1921.....64 (6 white; 2 women) 1922.....61 (5 white) 1923.....28 (2 white; 1 woman) 1924.....16 1925.....18 1926.....34 (5 white; 2 women) 1927.....21 (2 white) 1928.....11 1929.....12 (4 white) 1930.....25 (1 white) 1931.....14 1932.....10 (2 white) 1933, to date 25 (4 white) Beginδ in dispatch says ex-Kaiser Wilhelm is worth $175,000,000.

NATIONAL AGENCY DISTRIBUTORS 4157 Inventor Avenue Boston, MA 02116 On the Air SIXTEEN FOUR MURDERS IN THREE DAYS KEEP POLICE ON JUMP Grand Jury Gets Three Cases as Suspect is Sought Four murders, including three men who were stabbed to death and another who was fatally shot followed an aftermath of rows throughout the city which terminated in tragedies within the short span of three days. As a result, a woman and two men have been held for the action of the grand jury and police are seeking a fourth suspected slayer. The first slaying probed was that of Henry L. Estep, 37, of 485 Culinane Court, Southwest, who was stabbed through the heart, on Thursday night. Miss Catherine Bowen, of 485% Culinane Court, Southwest, was held by a jury reviewing the case before Dr. A. M. MacDonald, Saturday morning. Only One Sees Knife According to the testimony of witnesses, a number of persons were in the premises at 485 Culinane Court, when Miss Bowen is said to have entered and engaged in an argument with Estep, over some statement he made about her and her boy friend. Only one, however, Miss Ellen Witerspoon, declared she saw a knife in th hands of Miss Bowen. Attorney Nathan Dobbins, who defended Miss Bowen, questioned witnesses closely as to the number of persons in the room at the time of the fatality, and also sought to bring out that Estep had a poor police record. The autopsy revealed that the blow which penetrated Estep's lung and heart had been delivered with great force. Miss Bowen is somewhat frail. Others who testified were: William Braxton, of 485 Culinane Court; Hobart Hall, 485 Culinane Court; Robert Banks, 37 Eighth Street, Southwest; William R. Bowen, 1014 Casey Court, father of the accused woman; who testified that Estep and his daughter had had some words; Gladys Bowen, 1014 Casey Court, sister; Sadie Herbert, of 706 Faves Court Claims Self-Defense James Preston Love, 37, a chauffeur, of the 200 block of Ninth Street, Northwest, was held for the grand jury in connection with the death of Norman Johnson, 35, of the 300 block of Allen's Court, By ALLICE M.

Grieb, who won notoriety recently through his public espousal of Nazi principles and declaration of Nordic superiority, resigned from the staff of Harlem Hospital this week, after a delegation of professional men had called at the office of the City Department of Hospitals to ask his dismissal. Harlem Hospital, operated by the city has both Jews and Negroes as members of its staff. Its patients are made of both these races as well as other nationalities. Both the Negroes and Jews resented Dr. Grieb's attitude and pointed out that he was disqualified by reason of his views for his position as assistant clinical surgeon, dealing with varicose veins.

Unconfirmed Reports Hold Negro Removed From Grave by Mob Reports that the grave of George Armwood, victim of a Princess Anne lynch mob on October 23, had been opened and the body of the Negro removed had not been confirmed up to a late hour Wednesday night. Fresh dirt on the grave of Armwood led to the belief that a frenzied group of Princess Anne residents had taken the body from the Poor Farm resting place, during Tuesday's disturbances. Steve Hopkins (white) superintendent of the farm on which Armwood was intered, told the Tribune that although the grave showed signs of having been "tampered with" there was no confirmation of the rumor that Armwood's body had been removed and his head sent to Governor Ritchie. PREPARATIONS GO ON FOR CRAWFORD PROSECUTION PREPARATIONS GO ON FOR CRAWFORD PROSECUTION State Enlists Legislator's Aid; Houston Continuing Fight Against "Lily-White" Jury LEESEURG, Va.—The aid of State Senator Cecil Connor has been sought by the prosecution in its case against George Crawford, accused of the murder of Mrs. Agnes Boeing Isley (white), Middleburg, Va., recluse, when the trial is begun on December 12. Commonwealth's Attorney Galleher and Captain Frank Wray, Commonwealth's Attorney of Clarke County, will be in charge of the government's case. Jury Commissioners, in preparation for the trial, have supplemented the original list with the names of qualified persons sufficient to bring the total to 300, as required by law. This was insisted upon by Charles H. Houston, Washington, D.C., lawyer, who heads the defense counsel. Connor, who has appeared in several murder trials, resigned the Commonwealth's attorneyship to take his seat in the State Senate. It is understood services of an additional lawyer to aid in the prosecution of Crawford were deemed advisable in view of the likelihood that Galleher early in the trial will be called to the stand as a witness for the State. Thirty-one witnesses are to be called by the defense, according to present plans of Crawford's lawyers. Among these are the judge of the Loudoun County Circuit Court. J. R. H. Alexander; the clerk, E. O. Russell; sheiff, E. S. Adrian; eight jury commissioners, C. A. Whaley. John W. Thompson, S. Preston Luck, W. H. Frazier, V. B. Harding, C. Shirley Carter, G. Hampton Virtis and A. P. McGeath, and 20 Negro witnesses. The question of exclusion of qualified Negroes from trial juries solely on grounds of race will be brought up by the defense.

NEGRO Seven Thousand Storm Jail to Take 19-Year-Old Alleged Attacker ST. JOSEPH, Mo.—With the announcement by Judge J. V. Gaddy that a thorough grand jury investigation would be started next week, this city sat back and awaited results following the seizure and lynching of Lloyd Warner, 19-year-old colored boy accused of attacking two white women, from the Buchanan County jail here. Tuesday midnight. The lynching was perpetrated by a mob of 7,000 men, women and children. Warner was hanged to an elm tree near the courthouse, drenched with gasoline and set afire. Women and children watched him die. Some were friends of the white girl of 21, who, officers said, Warner assaulted in an alleyway here Sunday night. "String him up," shouted from many throats, drowned out the last attempt of the muscular young Negro to speak. Terror-stricken and stripped from the waist, he was pulled from a third-floor cell by four young members of the mob, beaten, kicked and cursed. Tear-gas fumes, remnant of the defense of 40 city and county officers and the hastily mobilized members of the 35th Tank Company, Missouri National Guard, floated on the stairway down which the Negro was dragged to death. Gov. Park declined to comment on the lynching. The jail wrecked last night three years ago withstood the assault of a mob seeking Raymond Gunn, colored, accused of the brutal slaying of Velma Colter, a young Mary-ville, Mo., school teacher. A few days later, however, Gunn was seized by a crowd on his way from jail to court at Maryville. He was taken to the frame school house where Miss Colter was slain, chained to the roof and burned with the building. Sheriff Teisen admitted that his deputies were "looking for the owners of two red trucks" who took a leading part in the execution. The lynching of Warner followed closely the similar mob execution of the two kidnappers and killers of Brooke Hart, 22, at San Jose, Cal., last Sunday.

Orme, public school teacher, and his wife, Mrs. Amy B. Orme, of 1131 Girard Street, Northwest, was turned in by a jury in Circuit favoring Herman Bocorselski, white Court No. 1, before Chief Justice Wheat, last week. Bocorselski filed suit against the Ormes on April 18. He alleged that the couple were indebted to him for $2,785.40, an unpaid balance on a promissory note made in 1926 for $4,000, and secured by a deed of trust on certain property. Through their attorneys, Howard and Hayes, the Ormes denied the debt claiming that they had borrowed only $3,000, and that the $1,000 charge was usurious. They also contended that sale of the property by Robert Highfield and William Baum, trustees, the proceeds being applied to the loan, brought satisfaction of the indebtedness. Bocorselski was represented by W. Gwynn Gardner. Virginia Union in Unemployment Drive RICHMOND, Va.—The Student Employment Bureau at Virginia Union University recently handled twenty-four calls for waiters, salesmen, and general delivery messengers in one day. Every student is giving complete satisfaction, as shown in the supervisor's report. The report further shows that on the average, eight to ten jobs are handled through the office weekly. Until this year, Virginia Union has relied almost solely upon the "natural" calls received for her students to do regular parttime work and odd jobs. This year, a definite committee was set up in the university to aid those students to find work who have the desire to attend school and who can do so with little aid.
