LOGAN CIRCLE BOYS TO DIE FRIDAY "Million Dollar Wedding" Groom Escapes Bigamy Charge D. Gordon H. Jackson Arrested and Later Freed After Third Venture. Participants Listed Among the Society Leaders of Chicago Alliance to Carry Battle to High Court to Gain Rights By GARLAND MACKEY The New Negro Alliance lost its second skirmish with the Kaufman Department Store, Friday when Justice F. Dickerson Lett issued a temporary injunction which stopped the Alliance from picketing the store. The store also won the first tilt just before Christmas when the same judge issued a restraining order. The final hearing on the injunction will be heard at some time in the future. The court set bond at $1,000 and warned the Alliance from molesting or interfering with the business of the store. Kaufman was represented by Attorney George E. Edelin, white, who contended that the dispute between the store and Alliance was not a labor controversy. The Kaufman Department Store is located in the heart of a Negro neighborhood and over 90 per cent of the store's patronage is colored. Despite this fact Kaufman has refused to hire colored persons in other than menial positions. In his petition for the restraining order Kaufman pointed out to the court that Negroes prefer white clerks waiting on them. Attorneys Belford E. Lawson and William H. Hastie, representing the Alliance, pointed out that the dispute was a labor issue as a recent legislation passed by Congress in 1932 widened the scope of labor disputes to include persons who have a direct or indirect interest in a business or industry. Alliance attorneys stated that Negroes have an indirect interest in the store as they support the establishment while Kaufman's attorney argued that the dispute was not a labor problem as it was not a controversy between employee and employees of Kaufman and his help were satisfied, but the Alliance was a third party with no interest. Attorney Hastie who is an assistant solicitor in the Department of Interior, cited recent cases where persons who are potential employees although not immediately employed in industries have a right to peacefully picket stores. The court held that white persons have right to oust colored persons in jobs if I cases and intimate that such a procedure would draw a close line of segregation between the races in business relations. Attorney Edelin calle the picket racket and stated that Kaufman and his erployees are satisfied with their present relationship. He also stated to the court that the employees of the store belong to (Continued on page 2) CHIC... (ANP)—An extraordinary document, flightier than the imagination of the most fervid fiction writers, was registered to the marriage of Dr. Gordon H. Jackson and Mrs. Leila Stubbs Proctor here Wednesday when Mrs. Florence Bray Jackson, daughter of an Illinois preacher and his second wife, drore out a warrant, charging Dr. Jackson with bigamy. Judge Harry O'Connell dismissed the charge Thursday. Wednesday afternoon she accompanied detectives to the office of Dr. Jackson where he was seized and taken to jail. Bond was set at $3,000. Dr. Jackson languished in the custody of officers until late Wednesday evening before bond was made. Arrest of the well known physician and surgeon brought to a climax seven hectic days which were featured by the claims of two "wives." Wednesday evening, December 27, Dr. Jackson, Mrs. Proctor and a few friends gathered at the home of Mrs. George Cleveland Hall, social prominent leader, where a marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. A. Bray. This marked Dr. Jackson's third wedding. The first and the most publicized occurred ten years ago when he became the husband of Miss May Walker, the adopted daughter of the late Mme. A. elia Walker. The ceremony attendant upon this event was heralded in THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. FIRST ST., S. E. CIRCL Wash " MIT D. C.

Kennedy was negligible and that at no time did I do anything that could have resulted in his death, No Premeditation » “I wish to call your attention to the fact. that this was not a pre- meditated attack, but an impromptu brawl or melee in which several persons participated, “Lam 24 years of age, with a good record, never having’ been in trouble, and feel that you would be justified in commuting my sen- tence to life imprisonment so that I may liye to atone for my wrong. “Life is precious to every human ‘being and I would be grateful to have you carefully examine the rec- ‘ord to see exactly the part I played ‘in this unfortunate tragedy, I be- lieve you will then see your way ‘clear to spare my life. Claims Third Degree “I wish to,state that the sup- posed confession which was ruled out by the court was signed by me after I had been beaten into a state of insensibility by the arrest- ing officers, and I did not ‘know what I was signing. “I feel, therefore, that this should not be used to prejudice my appeal to you, Doesn't Want to Die “I am not afraid of death, but 1 do not wish to die. “Trusting that you will give my case the careful consideration it deserves and that your decision shall be my decision, as my life rests with you, Yours most earn- estly, (Signed) Ralph Edward Holmes.” ; Just what effect a commutation for Holmes would have on the lives of his two companions can only be a matter of conjecture, although their status is similar. + Preparations Continue Meanwhile Supt.

Smith, for 50 years an employee of the Treasury Department and secretary to the late Blanche K. Bruce, one of the only two colored United States Senators, died at his home, in Evanston, Ill., last week, at the age of 96 years. The deceased served Mr. Bruce the entire time the latter represented the State of Mississippi in the Senate, a full term from 1875-1881. Mr. Smith has been living with relatives in the Illinois town for the past two years, but was well known here and a familiar figure on Washington's streets. He was born in Leavenworth, Kans., in 1847. Young Smith was a playmate of Buffalo Bill, the renowned Indian scout, and taught him how to ride and shoot. ROBBERS BALKED IN HOLD-UP ATTEMPT (Continued from page 1) with an automobile in which they were riding, Washington did so. But instead of relinquishing the cash boxes destined for his employers' offices, the Rosalia manager whipped out his revolver and began shooting. The men made their escape out V Street, leaving two hats and the abandoned machine. The latter was later identified by police as a stolen car for which a lookout had been posted prior to the attempted hold-up. Rufus G. Byars, supervisor of the Lichtman enterprises, told The Tribune that the attempt was planned because of the unusually large amount of cash in Washington's possession on that particular night. All the theatres had reported good business throughout the day, and the Broadway Theatre, playing a special photoplay, had accommodated a capacity house from the beginning of the afternoon. Second Precinct plain-clothes men assigned to the case reported that although several suspects were under observation, no arrests had been made up to a late hour yesterday (Wednesday). SALE OF PRUDOM CAB COMPANY (Continued from page 1) the Recorder of Deeds on July 10. 1933. The petitioner avers that she believes the Finance Corporation is claiming all rights and interests in the assets of the Prudom Company, despite the fact that the latter has conducted the taxi business and derived profit since the transfer. The court's attention is also called to the fact that Albert W. Jacobson and Chauncey Brown, attorneys, are managing directors of both the taxi company and the finance corporation. After narrating of the set-up of the two organizations, the petitioner alleged that the corporation was set up for the sole purpose of acting as a "straw" or agent for the Prudom Company in a scheme to defraud her and other creditors. It was also stressed that the corporation does not function as a finance company, is not listed in the telephone directory, has no actual business. The alleged straw company is said to have been organized with a reputed capital stock of $1,000, and the petitioner questions that they had $62,250 to loan the Prudum Taxi Company. For these and other reasons, the woman requests the court to appoint a receiver to sell the Prudum Company together with its good will, and then pay the creditors. The court was also requested to declare the transfer of interests to be declared fraudulent and set aside, as well as have an accounting of the transaction. Goldie S. Paregol is prosecuting the suit.

Law School for Over 30 Years (Continued from page 1 ) cessful defense of himself before a Maryland ury when he was ejected from a carrier under the Maryland jim crow law while in possession of a ticket qualifying him a an interstate passenger. It has been erroneously reported that Mr. Hart was one of the founders of the Howard Law School, but the school was organized in 1869, and had had 18 graduating classes before he became connected with that institution. At one time he was messenger to Senator Evart, and through the Senator's friends, Mr. Hart was instrumental in securing some $5,000 for the university. He was born in Alabama, but came to Washington at an early age and attended the local public schools. He later graduated from Howard University. At the time of his death he was 78 years old. John H. Parker Buried Here Wednesday Funeral services for John H. Parker, who died Saturday, January 6, at his home, 134 S Street, Northwest, were held Wednesday from the Third Baptist Church, where he served as a trustee for over forty years. The deceased was born in Onancoe, Accomac County, Virginia, March 8, 1859, and came to this city while a youth, where he attended the first public schools for Negroes. He was one of the first high school graduates in the District of Columbia, graduating from Summer School in June, 1877. Mr. Parker then taught school in Crisfield, Maryland, until he received an appointment as a mail carrier in this city, where he served continuously for 42 years, and was retired in 1930, after three extensions. During his entire service the deceased only had one route, that being in Southwest, where he has carried mail in some cases to three and four generations. Fifty-three years ago he married Annie L. Duncan, out of which union were born Willis S., Creed W., Annie L. Ball, Mabel, Reta A. Ricks, and John R. Parker, the latter three having predeceased their father. ASKS CURB ON GRADUATION (Continued from page 9) can secure a cap and gown for $1.50, which dispenses with the necessity of a new dress or suit. Numerous Items Covered Numerous Items Covered The dues assessment of a Dunbar student averages about $2, and each also has to have a graduating suit or dress. Their optional expenses may equal $12 or more and include: year book, $3; pin, $2.50; ring, $4.50-$6; dance, 75 cents. The dues assessed at each of the schools take care of such items as: music for dancing on class night, ribbon and seals for diplomas, janitorial services, printing, flowers for decoration, class play expenses. It is to be noted that the highest items are left to the individual student. However, it is pointed out that most students put the additional expense on their parents rather than suffer embarrassment by having other students point them out as being unable to pay for these extra trimmings. Many of the junior high school classes are also going in for expensive graduating affairs. These youngsters also have dances and buy extra clothes for various exercises they impose on themselves. Some of the junior high classes NEGRO'S LIFE IS THOT LITTLE OF (Continued from page 9) cases never reach the grand jury, while the coroner investigates every death which occurs under suspicious circumstances. More Costly to Rob For the life of me I can't see why it is a greater crime to go out here and snatch some white woman's pocketbook than it is to go out and kill a fellow Negro citizen. Court records bear me out that this is true quite often, judging by the respective sentences. Slayers have received as little as one year's sentence in 1933, while robbers have been given five, ten or fifteen years. The pop-lar sentence for the person who committed a homicide during the year seems to range between two to six years. Two persons, however, were sentenced to death and are scheduled to atone for their sin on March 23; two are serving life, and four drew 20-year terms. It is well establish, that a Negro is seldom given the same sentence for killing another of his own race as he would for slaying a white person under similar circumstances. The fact is, in the former case the extreme penalty is seldom asked or inflicted; in the latter, however, justice moves swift, severely, surely. What is back of the high homicide rate? The opinions of two District officials, Dr. A. M. MacDonald, acting coroner, and J. B. McCoy, morgue master, both white may serve as a criterion. They were both unanimous in the opinion that ignorance and the resultant inability to understand the seriousness of the crime causes the high rate. In a conversation with the writer, several weeks ago, Dr. MacDonald remarked that nearly 100 percent of the Negroes who appear before him on homicide cases are ignorant, illiterate, and of the lower strata. He advocated education as a crime deterent. It must be observed that despite the lower rate of the whites, those who run afoul of the law in this respect are drawn from all classes. An allusion to this fact was also made by the official. Mr. McCoy, who assumed his duties as morgue master during the past year, has also formed well-founded theories about the subject. The Negro slayer, according to him, is generally a moron. Mr. McCoy recommended education, with an accompanying moral code, to cut down the high homicide rate. Questioned as to his opinion of the high sentences given colored slayers, the morgue master averred that judges might possibl be influenced by a feeling of sympathy for the ignorant prisoner who does not understand that human life is not cheap. Many slayings are caused by the most trivial reasons. If we are going to put a stop to them, we must pay heed to Dr. MacDonald and Mr. McCoy. In addition, we must have a greater respect for each other. There are courts in which to settle our disputes without resorting to the use of pistols, knives or clubs. As our own self-respect increases, so will the value of Negro life be enhanced in the eyes of the world. FIREMAN'S WIFE FIGHTS MEXICAN DIVORCE DECREE (Continued from page 1) 1924, according to the wife's petition. Mrs. Holmes further states that on September 10, 1931, through Charles E. Robinson, deceased, and George W. Jefferson, she filed a bill for separate support and maintenance. She was granted temporary alimony of $40 a month, which she states that she has been receiving, and $40 a month for the support of Coleman Holmes, one of their four children. The wife contends that she was also to have received $315 for tuition for the youth. Previous Suit Dismissed Mrs. Holmes sets forth that the cause was dismissed on December 19, 1932, for want of prosecution, but that she was not notified until December 28, of the action. Despite the dismissal of the suit, Lieut Holmes has continued to pay the $40 a month, his wife declares. The present action followed a notification from Mexico that her husband had instituted action for absolute divorce in that country. In asking for permanent alimony, Mrs. Holmes averred that it is her belief that the fireman earns more than $280 a month. They have four children: Coleman, 22; Richard, 26; Selena, 35; and Frank, 31.

Virginia State and Union Hold Debate PETERSBURG, Va.—Virginia State College and Virginia Union University debated the proposition: Resolved: "That Dictatorship is a better System of Government than Democracy," in the college auditorium of the former institution, last Friday night. The representatives of Virginia State in upholding the affinative side of the question contended that (1) "Democracies are unable to deal with economic crises affectively and quickly, for direct, and definite action is impossible," and (2) "A democracy is established upon a fallacious principle that all men are created equal." In defense of the negative side of the question Virginia Union's representatives held that: (1) "A dictatorship does not provide for effective coordination of the dictates of the ruler with the will of the ruled," and (2) "The basic principles of a democracy provide for a more stable form of government." Virginia State was represented by Wellington C. Beal, Fritz Moorechard, and Koderick O. Corprew. Aaron C. Kane, James F. Scott, and Richard Keiler represented Virginia Union.

The Winnie Winkles, The R.B's, The Gay Northwesterners, The S.Q.J.'s, The Men Abc Town, The Omegas, The Barons and lets more. A rollicking time was had at all these affairs. New dresses, some old Lices, and old smiles. Laughs, jokes and, to our regrets, tears—Well this comes later. I Hear That: Milto, Wood, from Virginia State, was home for the holidays. I broke in the R. B.' alone and S.Q.V.'s with Camille Ford, the letter looking charmin, in a pink lace. Tim Neil, home from Lincoln, escorted Miss Thelma Dale to the Winnie Winkles and then the R.B.'s. Incidentally Louise Foster, charming in white satin, was escorted by Frank Davis. And Barrington Parker, home from Lincoln too, brought Camille Ford to the Winnie Winkle. But we've heard of that before— The Winnie Winkles had their pictures taken at the dance and published in the Tribune. Why is it that we did not see Milton Wood with the one we expected? Was it because the tall, brownskin girl had a "regular"? Engagement rings are just floating around. See Adelaide Webb, Mignonne Aiken, Sarah Harris and Nellie Barnes—Oh! Boy. "Ted" and Tom Walker played football on New Year's day in Alexia Irrain. Their team won, too. Benjamin Mayo was worse than that on Tuesday night. He knows. Ruth Smith and Kelsey Pharr were back together after being a way since September. By the way, Ruthie looked just grand in her formal attire. Benneatta Bullock attend the Conclave with her sisters. And why did *Clarence Lewis* play the gallant hero Thursday night to a certain girl in grey? Was it because that tall brute turned mean? Know who I mean? A cavalier. "Gene" Minns got from Lincoln to witness an accident in which his "Kitty", (5) was hurt. At the Novelle's, A. F. was seen with P. F. "Bennie" Brown had it in for "Scurlock" Norma Wilking looked just gorgeous in her new dress—She was accompanied by "Reds." Donis Carter left the for al given by Ala Dean, promptly at eleven. What was that—inbuence? "ax" is the "moment" in C.H.'s eyes. Nora Drew and Harry Risher are still that way. Lucas Howard is supposed to be a good friend of Clarence Lewis. Well, what happened at Howard Manor last week to change this condition? Harold Randolph, home from West Virginia, was not seen with India Wallace. How come? Eudora Williams looked swell in her black outfit at the W.W.'s. Here's till next time.

Were you present when Armstrong's basketball team defeated the Alumni with a neat score of 30 to 18—a nice start for the boys, eh? Armstrong is getting a new coat of paint these days. C.W.A. painters are renovating both buildings. (Let's hope that they will not forget the "doghouse"). Did you know that Margaree "Mickey" Montgomery, of Dunbar is a well-known singer? Maybe she can give "Kate Smith" a hand. Armstrong's cutting system under Cato Adams, seems to be in vogue. William "Billy" Ecktsieh is not in school this week. I wonder why? Major Edward York, our competent leader, of the Cadets at "Tech" promises good material. At last two friendly rivals will be together (Dunbar and Arm-strong) Did you know that Leo Barker is an amateur wrestler? Ernest "Slim" Marshall, of Dunbar is considered one of the best swimmers among the Poets, Millard Williams may be the gallant captain of Dunbar's basketball team this year. Dunbar's. Swimming Pool is to be repaired, we hope that it will get a break from the P.W.A. funds. Ernest Amos's glee club plans to hold several recitals in the future and can they chirp—"Boy, O' Boy."

Because rooms on the third floors are being renovized, classes are meeting in the cafeteria and the auditorium. Debating teams have been organized by James B. Hunter, teacher of History at "Tech." Corporals in the Ninth Brigade are working hard these days because Competitions will be held on the 18th of January. Cadets are cleaning their rifles, belts, shoes, and suits for that occasion. Lieut. Colonel Raymond Hawkins, of Armstrong is striving to take all honors again this year. Lieut. Colonel Halsey Taylor, of Dunbar, may win the Regimental honors this year—well I am a democrat on that subject. "Good ole basketball season is here again." Don't think I have forgotten the girls, no indeed, they are the spectators at the games. Why they are the ones who cheer the teams on to victory. Any player will look towards the grandstands, just to see if a girl friend is looking at him. If she is looking at him he will do his best to win the game. Do you know Gladys Q., of Tech? It seems as though she has a crush on a certain Captain—Bye, bye. Cardozo has two new songbirds, Mary Bolden and Dorothy Robinson. Say if there was one more, maybe they could form the Sepia Boswell Sisters. Don't take it too seriously. Ask Charlie Cardozo will contend with Douglass on the 19th, here. Don't miss the game here on the 29th, when the "Poets" will meet the "Clerks." Dunbar will play Douglass High on January 12th. Macbeth has the Seniors indoors these wintry nights.

WHITE CHILD WANTS MUVVER Court Takes Child from Family Who Has Cared For it For 17 Months DETROIT, Mich.—(ANP)—"I want my muver!" And that's how David Cruse, 18-month-old baby boy, feels now, having been abandoned by his mother more than one year ago when she left him with Miss Botty Holland, 29, of 505 E. Elizabeth Street, according to information obtained by the Associated Negro Press from police officials here Thursday. According to authentic information obtained from those immediately connected in official positions here in Detroit, the following are the facts in the case: The infant's mother, Mrs. Elsie Crue, who is reported to have been employed at a roadhouse at Williamsville, near Buffalo, N.Y., left the child with the young Negro woman when the child was about one month old. Meantine, Miss Holland, with whom the child was left, took the infant to 447 E. Elizabeth Street. where she left it in the care of Al and Edna Gomez. The presence of the little 18-month-old white boy in the Negro home was brought to the attention of Miss Violet H. Kidder of the Women's Division of the Detroit Police Department who took the child to St. Mary's Hospital to be cared for. Following the information obtained about the abandonment of the boy, police began a search for the deserting mother. It has not been revealed just why the child was abandoned by its mother, nor just how it has been cared for during the intervening months in which the little boy has been in the care of the young woman with whom she is alleged to have left the white child. It is thought, however, charges will be preferred against the mother if she is found; and Miss Holland, Mr. and Mrs. Gomez will be subpoenaed as witnesses for the state against the white woman.

Mr. Smith declared the intruders overlooked a large amount of money, the day's receipts, in lieu of springing the lock on the candy container.

Deaths On the basis here indicated, the city of Washington with an official record of 699 tuberculosis deaths last year should have 1,198 hospital beds for tuberculosis patients, or much over three times the number now available. In view of this situation the local Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis is actively sponsoring legislation for an adequate new tuberculosis sanatorium for adult as it did successfully sponsor, the legislation for the children's tuberculosis sanatorium now almost ready for operation. This is only one of the many services rendered by the association to this community. 66 HOWARDITES NOW ON LIBERAL ARTS HONOR ROLL New Classification Includes Students Who Average "B" or Higher Publication of the Dean's Honor list to include resident students who, huring their last three quarters had averages of B or higher, has just been authorized by the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts of Howard University.

Thomas Advocates Dispensary System Before Joint Committee Enlivening the hearings of the joint committee of the House and Senate on liquor for the District, Charles M. Thomas, delegate of the Federation of Civic Associations, set forth in convincing manner that our group would suffer from too many places for the sale of hard liquor under the free license system approved by the District Commissioners in House Bill No 6181, last week. Opening at 10 a.m., the hearings reached the name of George Beasley, president of the federation, for whom Mr. Thomas was the delegated spokesman, at about 2 p.m. Thinking that the radio operator had closed the circuit and gone to lunch, Mr. Thomas did not know that his address was being broadcast over Station WJSV until he was complimented by friends who heard him when he appeared in the Northwest section. 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Substitute Favored Attacking the subject from the angles of civic, economic and social effects, Mr. Thomas argued in favor of the substitute bill, introduced by Representative Howard Smith, of Virginia, and providing for the sale of hard liquors at dispensaries operated by the District. Except the Southwest citizens and a group of "women of the better circumstanced people," the attitude of the Federation represented by Messrs. Beasley and Thomas was supported by all the groups that spoke. Mr. Thomas declared that the "interests" wanted the free license system of the Commissioners, while the people wanted controlled sale of liquors, except light wine and beer. Would Create Sore Spots Showing a well-grounded familiarity with the questions involved in the hearings, Mr. Thomas quickly and sharply answered questions shot at him by members of the committee. "The congestion of population around liquor licensed places tends to create social sore spots," was the declaration. "Light wines and beer provide exhilaration for the demands of modern life, without intoxication," wan another. Mr. Thomas pointed out that the demand for hard liquor grows out of hard work and exposure, and that working conditions have so changed here in Washington that there is little of such work. Speaker Brings Laugh In arguing that old men need whiskey and that prohibition had killed Senators and Congressmen when they could not get it, Mr. Thomas brought a hearty laugh from the members of the audience. Mr. Thomas also pointed out that anti-liquor interests "bought brains" by paying their executive $25,000 a year while the Government paid but $9,000 to the enforcement head. Economic Arguments Made That the dispensary system would give the District all the revenue from liquor; that the whole people would thus benefit; that it would provide employment under the merit system; that it would facilitate regulation by the Control Board; that it was in harmony with the modern low unit cost efficiency of business, were some of the economic reasons offered by Mr. Thomas in behalf of the dispensary plan of the Smith substitute bill. Mr. Thomas is well known for his continuous lively interests in our civic problems since he was 15 years old. He is instructor of economics at Armstrong High School. LOSES BOUT WITH WIFE Leroy Hall, of 1023 Fourth Street, Southeast, came out second best in an altercation with his wife, Mrs. Venus Hall, Saturday.

N.A.A.C.P. Asks for $5,000 to Fight for Anti-Lynching Bill NEW YORK.—For the purpose of setting up an anti-lynching lobby office in Washington and working for the passage of the Costigan-Wagner federal anti-lynching bill, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issued an appeal today for a special fund of $5,000. The money will be used to pay for stenographic service, traveling expenses of witnesses to appear before the Senate House committees, telephone and telegraph, assembling and presentation of evidence in support of the bill, launching a nation-wide public campaign, burher investigation of special cases, printing of literature, and communication with branches and other organizations. This work can be done most effectively from a Washington office. An Expensive Project Support of the bill will require an enormous amount of extra work and expense, wholly outside the regular budget of the N.A.A.C.P. the secretary, stated. The following statement has been issued from the home office of the association: "It must be apparent without argument that this work is expensive. It must be done at once and there must be no letup. We cannot afford to wait and have this bill drift along until the last few days of Congress. The public must realize that tremendous, detailed, day-to-day work is necessary right in Washington. Decisions have to be made promptly, and frequently actio, has to be taken at once, by the quickest means of communication. "There is a good chance that the bill will pass, but there is much opposition to it and all in favor of it have a stiff fight on their hands. Colored people who have suffered most brutally at the hands of mobs should be in the front of the fight with their money and every other weapon at their command. "We are appealing for this fund confident that the people will not fail us. This fight cannot be carried on by individuals. It must be done b an organization." Why Help Is Needed Why Help Is Needed "Remember George Armwood, roasting on the main street of Princess Anne, Md., almost in front of the home of a judge. Remember Llo d Warner, burned in the streets of St. Louis, Md. Remember Dan Pippen and A. T. Hardi, shot down, handcuffed, on a lone v backwoods road near Tuscaoaos, Ala. The way to fight for them is to pay the expenses of fighting for this bill. If we had a dollar for every tear that was shed, for every cath that was uttered, for every prayer that was said, for every fist that was waved over these lynchings, we could fight a magnificent battle—and win. Now is the time to stop talking and act!" Contributions should be sent to the national office, 69 Fifth Avenue, for the anti-lynching fund. Receipts will be sent as usual and an accounting made. The League for Industrial Democracy here has written to the President and United States senators urging that they support the Costigan anti-lynching bill, which proposes to give the federal government power to act against lynchers where states fail to act. KAUFMAN FIGHTS TO KEEP NEGRO CLERKS OUT the page an organization that does not have colored members. Made Money off Colored Kaufman has been in business on Seventh Street for many years and has acquired considerable wealth from the patronage of colored persons. He has steadfastly refused to hire Negro clerks although many stores on Seventh Street have recently hired colored clerks after being approached by Alliance members. These stores have reported increase business as a result of the change and the managers have expressed themselves as more than satisfied with the new clerks. Alliance officers stated to The Tribune following the decision of Justice Letts that they will make a test case of the dispute and will appeal the case if it is decided against them and if necessary they will take the case to the United States Supreme Court. Colored people in Washington have taken a decided interest in the work of the Alliance and have called to its support on all issues involving employment in places which is supported by members of the race. A recent boycott on other stores have been the means of spouting jobs for about 25 colored persons in white stores as clerks. Some of the stores attempted to hold out, but with the loss of business all have yielded and employed colored. All of the stores taking this step reported an increase in business after hiring colored. A.

Mr. White is urging all friends of this legislation to write the Senators, registering approval of the bill and thanking them for sponsoring the measure. Such letters, it is pointed out, will serve to indicate to the Senate the widespread interest in the legislation. Mr. White has also telegraphed President Roosevelt thanking him for designating lynching in his message to Congress as one of the crimes calling "on the strong arm of the government for their immediate suppression." Announcement will be made in ample time of the hearings on the bill so that persons who wish to be heard can submit material.

But neither Dr. Jackson or Mr. Hall showed up at the hearing. Instead, Homer Catlin, reported to be an attache of Mr. Hall, appeared and turned over $10 of a $25 balance to Attorney George Lawrence, representing Mrs Florence Jackson. The case was heard in chambers in the absence of Judge $Trude who indicated that he would sign a divorce. Takes Certificate But Mr. Lawrence, who had not received his fee, was entitled to possession of the certificate of evidence in the case and the court could not sign the decree without the certificate. Mr. Lawrence took the certificate to his office. The following day, Dr. Jackson and Mrs. Proctor appeared at the office of the marriage clerk to obtain a marriage license. In answer to the questions from the clerk, Dr. Jackson wrote that he had been divorced December 9, 1926, the date of his divorce from May Walker. No mention was made of his second marriage. Wife No. 2 Present That evening, the ceremony in which Dr. Jackson and Mrs. Proctor were the principals occurred. Later, the couple attended an old fashioned charity ball and waltzing contest at the Savoy ballroom at which Mrs. Irene Castle McLaughlin and Noble Sissle were featured. There, the society friends of the couple showered congratulations upon them and the culmination of their long romance. The second Mrs. Jackson was also present. She had not suspected the third marriage and did not see how it could be true. From that moment things began to happen. Wanted $500.00 The next day she refused to agree to a divorce without a settlement, asking for $500 which was later shaved to $250. At first Dr. Jackson agreed to make the settlement, but on Sunday he charged that he was being "shook down" and Mrs. Florence Jackson's attorney was notified by wire that action would be taken against him for compounding a felony if the second Mrs. Jackson did not desist in her demands. This followed an exciting meeting between Dr. Jackson and Mrs. Florence on Friday night and between the second and third Mrs. Jacksons on Saturday morning. Made Insulting Demand According to the second Mrs. Jackson, Dr. Jackson came to her jhome on Friday night whie the third Mrs. Jackson was attending a dance and made an insulting demand upon her. She thereupon snatched her mule off and cracked him across the head with it. Dr. Jesse Trice was called to stanch the flow of blood. The next morning the second Mrs. Jackson went to the home of Dr. Jackson where she met the third Mrs. Jackson. According to the former, she asked the third Mrs. Jackson to use her influence to get Dr. Jackson to do the right thing. The second Mrs. Jackson charges that the third Mrs. Jackson shrigged her shoulders and announced that she was not interested. Thereupon the second Mrs. Jackson told the third Mrs. Jackson that if she did not leave the house immediately, she would have her arrested for living in adultery. The third Mrs. Jackson packed her belongings and left. Had Jackson Arrested Tuesday after New Year's day, Mrs. Florence Jackson obtained copies of her marriage license to Dr. Jackson and also an affidavit attesting his third marriage. Armed with these, she obtained a warrant for the arrest of Dr. Jackson on a charge of bigamy from Judge O'Connell. Prior to the arrest Wednesday afternoon, Attorney Henry Ferguson and Attorney Charles Wilson, served an order on Attorney Lawrence, secretary of the National Bar Association, to produce the certificate of evidence so that the court might sign the decree divorcing Mrs. Florenie Jackson and Dr. Jackson and also to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court for retaining it. They stated that Dr. Jackson had paid the costs of the divorce. Thursday, Judge Trude signed the decree of divorce of Mrs. Florence Jackson, as of December 26, 1933, legalizing Dr. Jackson's third marriage. Unable to pay the forfeiture herein provided. provided.

Mrs. Sullins, who now is confined to St. Luke's Hospital with a broken hip, leg, and internal injuries sustained when she leaped from a second story window ledge, was asleep in her room when awakened by shouts of fire. She rushed into the nursery room of Donald Gould, 3, and snatched him from the crib—handed the child to its grandfather, and rushed back into another room after another child, not knowing that firemen had already effected its rescue. Terror-stricken at not finding the child, the maid leaped through the window narrowly missing a fireman in her leap.

Legislation is constant in being proposed and discussed which, while it does not refer to our people in particular does affect our living conditions and rights as a race in general such a lobbyist should be a well trained man, whose knowledge of our race's conditions and needs should be full and complete; one who possesses the power of keen thinking and clean talking; one who would have primarily in mind the interests of our group, and who could not be bought off by flattery, position or anything else. This lobbyist could and should be paid by our church, civic, fraternal and business groups. The cost to each would be merely nominal while the benefits would be great. Our citizens' associations could we sponsor a movement to bring this about and it is to be hoped that they will. We need a lobbyist at the United States Capitol.

A Courageous Stand Before the joint Congressional hearings held this week to consider liquor control for the District of Columbia, Prof. Charles M. Thomas made a strong appeal for government control and a strong protest against the License system. Elsewhere in this issue can be seen the text of his argument. We concur fully with Professor Thomas, for it is a known fact that under the license system prior to prohibition the evils pointed out by Professor Thomas existed, depreciating property and making for undesirable neighborhoods about the homes of our people. This whole question may be settled before we go to press, and, from press reports to date, it is quite evident that the legislation will be for the licensing system. However, the one important fact about this hearing so far as we are concerned is the fact that Professor Thomas not only had the courage to oppose the Commissioners' plan but had at his fingers' end facts and figures to back his charges and to support his position. Instead of "rambling all around Robin Hood's barn" as most of our speakers do when before the powers that be struck and struck hard with a voice as positive as his thoughts and with a courage to disagree and carry his points of view. We need more Thomases, not only before Congress and the Commissioners but on our board of education, to see to it by force of argument and facts that we are not discriminated against as to civil and civil rights. We congratulate and thank Professor Thomas. Before the joint Congressional hearings held this week to consider liquor control for the District of Columbia, Prof. Charles M.

We have pointed to the Vermont Avenue and U Street triangle as a desirable location. This land is already owned by the government.

We have pointed to the Vermont Avenue and U Street triangle as a desirable location. This land is already owned by the government. There is no natural beauty of trees, shubbery or flowers to be destroyed. In fact there are no benches to sit on for rest. Just plain (sometimes unsightly) bare ground, serving no good purpose whatever. Business houses on U Street are continuously annoyed by persons needing the use of a public comfort station. Men are seen in the alleys by women and girls. Alleys on U Street reek with stench in hot weather because of no available place on this busy thoroughfare. Under the PWA this project could be undertaken. It probably would not require congressional action. But if it did such action could be had at once. We call on our civic bodies as well as members of the board of education, together with ministers, doctors and teachers to write a letter or send a telegram to the headquarters of the Civil Works Administration making their requests for this project. VIRGINIA'S VISION Virginia is quite pleased with itself. A murder trial of a Negro has just been concluded by entire absence of any racial feeling. Four Negro attorneys faced three white prosecuting attorneys. Each side treated the other with utmost courtesy. Race was never mentioned in the arguments of counsel. The Negro was found guilty, and sentenced to life imprisonment—a verdict apparently in accord with the evidence. Said the judge: "I approach the close of this case with the feeling that I have somehow caught a new vision of how a case ought to be conducted." Those who love justice will hope that a few rays of that vision penetrate to Alabama where, at the moment, seven Negro boys in the Scottsboro case are being done to death for a crime they did not commit.

To dwell not in a world of things, Though welded to the things themselves The Book has lost its mortal stings— Its images are dream-born elves Whose memory never, never brings Dear volumes from forgotten shelves.

By KELLY MILLER The report of the committee appointed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Youth to investigate conditions in the Harlem Hospital far transcends the narrow limits of local interest and assumes nation-wide importance. The unsatisfactory condition of Negro health is pointed out as furnishing a menace to the health of the nation. It is recognized that the health of these twelve million Negroes will be safeguarded chiefly by Negro physicians for whose training and preparation there is no adequate provision. The report broadly mindedly urges white medical schools and hospitals to give qualified Negro students full instructional, clinical and interne facilities. But after all has been said and done the chief reliance for the preparation of the Negro doctor devolves upon two Negro medical schools—Howard and Meharry. These schools are both inadecute in equipment, personnel and capacity. If they were both well equipped and running at full capacity, they could not turn out more than one hundred graduates a year.

There is the estimated need of 16,000 adequately to cover the field. The output of these two schools would not be sufficient to keep up replacement of the present 4,000, to say nothing of augmenting the number up to the needed 16,000. At one time medical schools for Negro were operated in connection with Negro so-called colleges and universities at Raleigh N.C., New Orleans, La., Knoxville, Tenn., and Louisville, Ky. But these have fallen by the wayside for lack of adequate facilities and equipment to meet the standards of medical education. Meharry and Howard only are left and their continuance was seriously threatened a few years ago until the philanthropic foundations came to their rescue.

NEGROES BEING BARREL FROM WHITE COLLEGE We need not be too optimistic concerning the philanthropic advice of the committee requesting white medical colleges and hospitals to open the doors of opportunity for colored medical cadets. Within recent years, the doors have been closing tighter and tighter—especially as concerns clinical and interne facilities. It seems that the Negro student will have to depend mainly on Howard and Meharry, which need to be supplemented by two or three other well equipped medical schools geographically distributed as to cover the needs of the field. But even if Howard and Meharry were abundantly equipped and if they were supplemented by other well equipped medical schools for Negroes there cannot be found at present a student body prepared to meet the expenses of an up-to-date medical education. It seems that the Negro student will have to depend mainly on Howard and Meharry, which need to be supplemented by two or three other well equipped medical schools geographically distributed as to cover the needs of the field. But even if Howard and Meharry were abundantly equipped and if they were supplemented by other well equipped medical schools for Negroes there cannot be found at present a student body prepared to meet the expenses of an up-to-date medical education. Because of the general poverty of the race and especially on account of depression, the quota of Howard and Meharry yare not full by virtue of general impoverished conditions. It requires seven or eight hundred dollars to meet the annual expenses of a medical education. For years, I have watched the struggle of imbeculous students trying to meet the increasing scale of expenses at Howard University, and have wondered how many of them get by. Their families are not able to support them. Opportunities for self-help are growing more and more difficult. The hardship and deprivation incurred often saps their health and frustrate their worthy ambition. DEPRESSION STOPPING HOWARD'S STUDENTS The Federal government has been munificent in its grants to Howard University by way of providing grounds and buildings and teachers' salaries. While these facilities are increasing, the student body is falling off by reason of the depression and the mounting cost. Grounds and building, libraries, laboratories, apparatus and teachers' salaries are of less importance than the student body for which institutions exist. Because of the depression, the end of whose continuance we cannot foresee, and by virtue of justifying precedent already set, Congress might well relieve the situation, so far as medical students are concerned, by granting them free tuition. N.R.B. COULD GIVE MUCH NEEDED HELP The first Congressional appropriation was made to Howard University in 1879 on the ground that no tuition was to be charged. The unlimited means at the disposal of the National Recovery Board and the unlimited power within their discretion might, it seems, find some means of furnishing tuition to worthy but imprecunious medical students at Howard and Meharry and indeed at Northern medical schools. In the midst of the existing emergency, health recovery is as important as material recovery. These Negro medical cadets are preparing to render the public patriotic service, in that they are preparing to promote the health of the nation. We must take appeals to the Supreme Court of Alabama—and should we fail there—to the Supreme Court of the United States. The printing alone for these briefs, in the State Supreme Court will cost $3,500, and they must be complete and ready within 80 days of February 7th. In addition, $1,500 is immediately required for the court stenographers' fees and other fees connected with the appeal. Again we ask all those who feel outraged by injustice, lynching, and class discrimination to help us in this struggle for elementary justice. WILLIAM L. PATTERSON. Teaching the Negro Deliberately and Specifically About His Achievements Teaching the Negro Deliberately and Specifically About His Achievements BY CARTER G. WOODSON. of Washington D.C., Editor of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in Our History: The Real Education of the Negro." of Washington D.C., Editor of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in Our History: The Real Education of the Negro." Dean D, O. W. Holmes, of Howard University, plunged into trouble the committee on what we should teach the Negro child about himself and about others in relation to himself. He recommended that, beginning in the first grade, the teacher should "deliberately and specifically teach" the achievements of the Negro. Even one member of the committee itself felt that this was couching the recommendation in too emphatic language and that it might bring upon the Negro race the accusation of self-glorification and chauvinism of which others are now guilty. Persons who have read this report of the committee as printed in the Negro History Week Pamphlet, now being distributed, have expressed similar fears as to the outcome of any such procedure as to direct special attention to the background of the people of African blood. After thoroughly discussing the matter, however, the members of this committee enthusiastically adopted this recommendation because they think it is both expedient and wise. What Dean Holmes had in mind is not that any teacher should give just as much attention to the study of the Negro, but that he should give just as much attention to the study of the Negro as he does to that of any other element of the population. To proceed otherwise cannot be justified by sound principles of education. The reason for insisting that the history and status of the Negro be treated "specifically and deliberately" was to offer this as a sort of counteraction to the teaching of race prejudice. The Negro mind is disturbed from day to day by the inflammatory teachings imposed upon the public through the pulpit and the press; and practically all of the text-books of social science used in the schools of America deliberately and specifically teach that the Negro is an inferior. In order to prevent his spirit from being crushed and enable him to develop as a man he must have some one to disabuse his mind of these false teachings; he must have something from the experiences of his own element to inspire him. There can be no more error in "deliberately and specifically" teaching that the Negro has achieved something than there can be in "deliberately and specifically" teaching the contrary. The one makes the other necessary. The wrong which has been done must be undone, and this is the only natural way to accomplish the task. If truth crushed to the earth will rise again, it will rise only by removing the falsehood which crushed it. The teachers throughout the country, however, are not lacking in their ardor on this account. They are going forward in the true spirit as reported by a teacher, of Edwards, Mississippi. He says, "We have observed this special week for several years with appropriate programs and with special emphasis upon the subjects suggested by the association. We have not limited our study of Negro history and literature to the activities of one week, for we offer a high school course in this field, and in our college a course in literature has been made a regular part of our English courses. It has been my privilege to be the instructor in Negro history for the past two years, and I must confess that I have learned about all I know about my own people through the course. You may have already guessed that I am a product of a Northern university where a rather condescending air was shown toward Negro students and the introduction of a course designed to acquaint the students with our history would have been an unforgiveable error." It is gratifying too that in the same spirit such teachers are carrying this thought to both races. The field secretary of a Baptist Sunday School Convention in Maryland says, "I feel that it is one step out of the morass of race prejudice. We have been lax in our duty to our white and colored children." A Negro teacher in Pennsylvania seeking a pageant for a junior high school wants to work out an excellent celebration because he is teaching in a consolidated school among twenty-four white teachers; but a Negro teacher in Washington says we ought not to have such a celebration in this city because white teachers who will not observe it will consider our action a discrimination against ourselves. A teacher from Woodbury, New Jersey, however, says, "I'm quite anxious to have my pupils become race conscious but find my own knowledge so inadequate and references so scarce." Asking for literature for the members of a choir in Cincinnati, the leader says, "My boys and girls know nothing of Negro achievements." A pupil of the Berean School of Philadelphia says, "I am Remove Falsehoods Against the Race This Shows an Admirable Advance a former graduate of the Armstrong High School in Washington, and I am trying to introduce the Negro as I was taught in my school. Being in a city where our race is not carefully studied as it should be, I feel that as a pupil of Berean I can make my club very interesting." Teacher Inspired by Training She Received A former graduate of Cheyney Training School for Teachers writes from her home, saying, "I am trying to inculcate here the same appreciation of the Negro that I learned from my inspiring teacher of Negro history at Cheyney, Miss Evangeline M. King." A citizen of Seteauk, Long Island, says, "Very little is known here of the achievements of colored people, and I am trying to encourage our younger generation." From Wellsville, Ohio, comes the report, "I have a spendiid little study club that was organized by me in my home in October, and it is marvelous how the teachers take to the work and like studying race life and history." These reactions show that the main trouble, as pointed out by Dr. F. M. Wood, of Baltimore, in a recent address in Washington, D.C. is that the theatres themselves know practically nothing about the Negro and, therefore, cannot teach what they have never learned. Their knowledge of the Negro is restricted mainly to what the traducers of the race have informed them about the numerous lynchings and what the agitators have said about the horrors of slavery and serfdom in the United States. When adequately informed beyond these points their minds run in the other direction. Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell RELIEF IN SIGHT As this is written only one week has slipped by in the new year of 1934 but already much relief seems to be in sight for the lowly American Negro. In the city of Chicago, I have observed during my travels around the city, hundreds and hundreds of colored men put to work under the new governmental relief agencies, and a happy lot of men they seem to be. Working four days a week but with a definite stipend has bolstered their spirits, and a new day seems to be dawning for those who have been without employment for years, depending wholly or mostly upon direct charity. In the country at large the colored people will be vitally affected by the insurance of bank deposits. Perhaps no class of Americans, as a group have lost so heavily, proportionately speaking, as save the colored depositors, for in their case their deposits, generally, represented all the wealth they possessed—the savings of a lifetime. Peculiarly enough these losses were sustained mostly in institutions, managed by whites and in whom the colored depositors had every confidence. With all deposits up to $2,500.00 being totally insured, the colored depositor will have little to worry over as those whose deposits run in larger figures do not represent the average colored citizen. Those of our group who have been fighting, clamoring, and pleading for federal enactment of laws against lynching will no doubt be much gratified if they heard or read the President's message to Congress, for the President did not mince words in specifying that this evil should be thwarted by governmental efforts. Regardless of politics it seems almost certain that the federal government is sincere in its attempt to create and maintain federal agencies whereby the commoner, (which includes the Negro) can obtain relief, and if the Negro himself will attempt to take full advantage of the opportunities offered him he will find himself much the gainer. As I read our press from coast to coast it is regrettable to notice how backward our people are in forming co-operative agencies whereby they can take advantage of their own rights. And then when some particular instance arises whereby the Negro is denied or does not receive the full advantage due him, there is loud protests and cries of discrimination. It takes much initiative in these days in going after even the simple things that are ours by right and naturally those who show the most initiative receive the best results. In Chicago it is interesting to note a progressive community effort sponsored by successful business men who are giving their time and experience freely in aiding the less-informed in obtaining the benefits due them by some particular agencies of the federal government. SPECIAL FEATURES WILL HE CHANGE HIS SERMON? Unaccustomed as I to the am of censuring a person, especially one of high standing, I hardly know how to begin my attack. In the first place I feel somewhat be-littled for even thinking of such. But I am not the only little fellow that has tried to attack a big man. David was in the same predicament when he faced Goliath, the great giant and leader of the Philistines. David was successful in his venture, for the giant fell a victim of a mere little pebble driven by the force of a sling shot in little David's hand. For my part I do not contemplate success in attacking the giant before me, for he has been in many battles with little fellows before (many big fellows as well) and each time he has proven that he can take it on the chin without being knocked out. Therefore, the little rock that I am about to hurt at him will not have any more affect upon him than a mosquito bite. But I would like him to feel hurt enough to give a groan loud enough for the public to hear him. The Victim The person that happened to be the object of my unworthy criticism is none other than the well-known Dr. Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University, author, and widely read columnist. I think it was Langston Hughes who said this (or words to the same effect) in his criticism of Dr. Miller sometime ago: "He is an old fogie with obsolete ideas of leadership and the sooner he passes on into oblivion the better for the advancement of the race." In my judgment of Dr. Miller, I do not think the same as Mr. Hughes. Dr. Miller has given much to his race and therefore deserves the highest respect. But he has made some mistakes in giving advice. One Mistake His main fault, it seems, is that he will not take a decided stand on certain opinions. Not long ago Dr. Miller was standing on the high hill preaching the gospel of "Back to the Farm" to his fellow men (while he himself remains in the city and enjoys civilization). To him it seemed the best solution for the depressed Negro. No consideration would he give the low prices paid for farm products and of the backward state that the farm keeps the Negro. The Southern farm with its poorly educational advantages is responsible for the great percentage of illiteracy that still exists in the colored race. Contradicts Sermon In his release of last week on the illiteracy of the Negro Dr. Miller proves his own sermon on "Back to the Farm" as being incorrect and unsound advice when the educational point is taken under consideration. Judging from a most recent bulletin from the Census Office, the Northern cities show a much lower percentage in illiteracy than the Southern cities. Illiteracy in the race as a whole, has decreased from 22.9 per cent in 1920, to 16.5 per cent to the present time. Kelly Miller admits that this drop "is based on the race's exodus from the Southern farm," and he says: "Negro illiteracy is a rapidly diminishing quantity and will disappear or be reduced to unimportant proportions within the next two or three decades." It is evident that after scanning this late report from the Census and taking in the facts concerning the disadvantage that the farm (country) offers the Negro, Dr. Miller will change his sermon from "Back to the Farm" to "Migrate to the Northern City and Become Educated." If he doesn't, he will become one of the world's greatest pussy-footers. This and That There are times when saving is losing. You save something that does not matter and lose your heart's desire. You awake to realize that your purse is full of money but your heart is empty, or perhaps your health is ruined or your beauty gone. We should preserve at all costs the things that matter. In several other cities such organizations have also been formed but in the most part, our press is filled with protests instead of achievements. Our leaders are now watching Congress and it is to be hoped that as soon as it is apparent what Congress will appropriate for public expenditures that our group will act at once by forming co-operative advisory groups so as to be able to co-operate fully with the agencies that will have the expending of these appropriations and thus be in on the cutting of the "melon" instead of waiting until the "melon" is nearly eaten and then start protesting because a larger share was not cut for them. Let Us Read By C. LESLIE FEAZIER Clifford C. Mitchell, columnist, whose notes on books I have published in this column from time to time, has turned publishing house commissioner. Mr. Mitchell will be found absolutely trustworthy, and aspiring authors would do well to communicate with him. He announced that "t. publishers of books or novels I can offer the service of a well known Chicago publishing house who will publish all such books at a very nominal publishing cost providing that the exclusive sale or distribution of the books will be placed with me or with agencies with whom I can contact." Further he states: 1 "These inducements may be of some service to the followers of this column and if so I would ask that you communicate with me by writing to Clifford C. Mitchell, 3507 South Parkway, Chicago, Illinois. No letter will be answered, however, in which the necessary postage is not forwarded to cover the reply. And where a service fee is required it is absolutely impossible for me to advance the money to cover same, as I only will receive a small commission on what is actually paid to the literary agents, and for this commission I turn your manuscripts over only to such agents who will render a bona fide service to the writer. "In the publication of books I would also advise my correspondents that I am financially unable to advance the cost of publication, but I have contacts with selling facilities and in the selling of the published books will gladly work on a commission basis." --- Professor S. Randolph Edmonds of the department of dramatic art and director of the Morgan College Players, has just signed a contract submitted to him by the Walter H. Baker Publishing Company of Boston, for the publication of his second book. This company is reputed to be the second largest dramatic publishing company in country. Professor Edmond's book will be a collection of six original one-act folk tragedies for the Negro Little Theatres. This book will be entirely different in subject matter and treatment from his first book, "Shades and Shadows," which consisted of imaginative dramatic stories for reading purposes, the professor states. This will be the first time that a volume of plays by a single Negro author will be published by a lending dramatic publishing company. Other published plays by Negro playwrights have been either in pamphlet form or in anthologies. The volume is expected to be ready in the spring. Think It Over By BEATRICE M. MURPHY TELLING THE TRUTH "Now Mary, tell me frankly, do you like this dress on me? I want the truth, remember." "John, tell me, don't you think I did right?" Haven't you ever had people ask you questions like that? Perhaps you've even been honest enough to try and give a frank opinion, and you're the most surprised young person when you find that you've started a lot of trouble. Sometimes you lose a friend. Why? Because the best way to lose a friend is to tell him the truth. People never want the truth even when they ask for it. There are comparatively few human beings who can stand up and take the truth. When people ask you for a candid opinion they want their own views upheld. They want a dressed up lie. Mary isn't the least bit interested in whether Martha likes her dress or not. She is simply fishing for a compliment. If Martha tells her that the color make her look like a boiled lobster—which it probably does—she will be accused of being catty. If John is given a straight from the shoulder opinion and told that what he did is one of those things that no self-respecting man would do, he probably will not accept it as the truth but as the jealous outburst on the part of someone whom he considered a friend. In our halls of fame the brave men are those who could stand up and face the facts—see and accept life as it really was without being obscured by half truths. Human beings are like bags of beans which are tied with fragile strings. As long as they are held together the world will never know how full of sham and contradictions they are, but once the string is loosed, the result is chaos. We talk about truth, preach about truth, and urge our children to tell it, but seldom face it when alone with ourselves. Why? Who can tell? One of the mysteries of life will probably always be why people ask for that which they do not want to hear and probably could not bear if it were told them. Think it over. "He said you were what?" "Laconic." "Dunne. But I gave him one on the nose to be on the safe side." BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Miss N. Sewell to Wed ChicagoDefenderEditor BE THERE TUESDAY At 6:30 P.M.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1934 PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men A lot of good wishes (floods of them) are going into the "Flood" home, 736 Hobart Place, Northwest, that Miss Ethel Flood (no longer a "Flood" but Mrs. William W. Holt) will be very happy indeed with the husband dear old Santa Claus brought her. I knew you were wearing yourself to a frazzle trying to find out so I took time off and got the information for you. The ever-sunning individual in a fur coat and modish flat-topped hat seen entering and leaving 109 Seaton Place answers to the name of Betty Carrigan. She's from Youngstown, Ohio. Now please, dear sire, form a line and mark time until I get some additional data. You see she may be a "Mrs." (So busy checking and "double-checking" her looks, completely forgot to get the full name.) What I was about to say of Mrs. Pinkett last week was this: When that petite lady who is the wife of the popular New Jersey Avenue druggist, answers the door of their pretty home, 1218 Fairmont Street, you feel like saying, "Little girl will you kindly tell me if any of the grown-ups are in?" * * * * If you happen to meet Mrs. Thelma Ackiss, promising young attorney, in a strange place, looking strange and acting the same way, don't be alarmed. She has not forgotten the dignity of her profession. She is as true to her calling as ever. But the little lady is "preparing to proceed to get ready" to enter the "inner circles" of a well-known security and—well, here's wishing her luck. Were you wondering about the rather pensive mood in which you found Mr. A. A. P. Edmonston, of 1620 S Street, last week? There was a reason. He was trying desperately to decide whether to grab up the Mrs. (charming Ernestine) and rush off to New York for the frolic and dance given by the "Boys of Yesteryear" (old timers) at the Renaissance Casino, 1838 Street and Seventh Avenue. You see New York still claims the Edmonstons, even though Washington holds them fast. With her brown coat Mrs. Estelle Hawkins, 1709 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, is wearying the brightest little velvet hat (a tint of orange in it). It really is a "thing of beauty," and it should be a "joy forever," but it won't. For women's fashions are ever so fickle and the lively Estelle is far too clever to let Madame Style get ahead of her, so I suppose it won't be many months before the dashing matron discards that lovely bit of millinery. (And what a shame 'twill be!) Seen leaving a well-known church recently were the following: Messrs. Paul Mingo, Norman Newman and Thomas Thomas. The Ladies' West End Social Club is Entertained Mrs. Maybelle Ambler entertained the Ladies' West End Social Club and their guests at her residence, 1350 Franklin Street, Northeast, Friday night. Cards was played after a brief business session, at which time two new members were admitted. Prizes were awarded as follows: Mrs. Lillian Cushenberry, first; Mrs. Beatrice Fitzhugh, second; Mrs. Mary Yates, third; Mrs. Mas Alexander, fourth; Mrs. Katherine Neal, first guest; and Mrs. Bessie Kelley, second guest. Others present were Mesdames Ethel Bolden, Janie Bryant, Cora Cooper, Nettie Fisher, Clara Hawkins, Gladys Johnson, Gertrude Johnson, Cora - Mitchell, Hattie Morgan, Bessie Kelley, Anna Cook, and Katherine Neal. Mother and Daughter Serve Sunday Tea Mrs. Joseph Carter and daughter, Miss Lottie Carpenter, of 1740 U Street, Northwest, were at home, Sunday, from 4 to 6 p.m., to a number of friends. Afternoon tea was served by Miss Carpenter. Among the ladies present were Mrs. Ida Howard, Mrs. Lula Lee, Mrs. Early, Mrs. Carroll Brooks, Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. William Clark, Mrs. Bell, and Miss Eliza Bell. Mrs. Percy Bond Announces Marriage of Daughter The announcement of the marriage of Miss Wenonah Bond and Mr. Arthur Logan was made this week. The marriage took place in New York City on January 5, at St. Martin's Church. Miss Bond is the daughter of the late Percy Bond and Mrs. Georgia Bond. She is a graduate of the Boston University class of 1928, and at present is pursuing studies at Columbia University. She has served as secretary of the Junior Activities of the Harlem branch of the Y.W.C.A., later studying abroad at the International College in Denmark and then spending a year at first two are bachelors (and it does seem that the only way a girl will get either to the altar is to "lead him with a halter"). But of course you never can tell. The third is a widower. All three of them appeared unusually contented and happy. And here is the question. Why all the glad looks? Are those three gentlemen joyous and everything over the fact that they steered clear of Capid's darts in 1933, or, are those smiles but mute reminders of the winning marks that little Dan will make in the good year 1934? --- If you by any chance happen to come across a score or more of matrons or maidens lunching on "toast and tea" when they usually take a "square," don't without "rhyme or reason" jump to the conclusion that they've gone on a diet. They haven't. For, since the reign of the plump Mape West, "curves" are considered best. But (and come right close while I tell you) those ladies are "pinching their pennies" to get to the "Big Revue." If you see smart Washingtonians walking up and down the boulevards when you know they're accustomed to ride, don't say right away, "I bet they failed to get their tags." That isn't it at all. They have the tags all right, but they're cutting the caselain man. And why? All of because of the "Big Revue." If you see a certain Q Street matron wearing a dress that was modeled in 1922, don't scald her, and what "What a miser she is." She is only saving her hard-earned dollars to get a little something to wear. To the 1924 Revue at the Colonade on Friday night. Of course, the Q Street matron won't really be able to buy anything new—she'll be there in the same old style of 1922—but give her credit for trying. And anyway, the important thing is that she'll be there. Don't ask who's in it. "Twould take too long to tell. Besides, when you see names like Virginia McGuire, Vivian Turner, Mary Thompson, Marie Wilson, Ruth Cornell Armstead, Mary T. Wilson, J. LeBerta Gray, and Matilda Wesley as directors of anything from an "evening at home" to a "Bib Revue" you'll know exactly why everybody in town is talking and getting ready to go to the Y.W.C.A.s 1934 Revue. In a brown coat- fur-trimmed and a jaunty matching hat, worn in the new off-the-face way and with the perkiest little flat bow on its very top; with bonny red carrings adding their brightness to an already sparkling face, Miss Eva Boone really looks just what she is—one of Washington's loveliest younger ladies. And doesn't she remind you of her sister, the populac Alice (now Mrs. Albert Dumas, of Natcher, Miss.)? With little Eva growing up to look so much like her sister, may be, after all, Washington will finally make up its mind to forgive Dr. Dumas for taking Alice away. Woodbrooke in England. Upon her return to Y work she was placed in charge of the General Activities at the West 137th Street branch in New York. This wide contact has made for Miss Bond a large circle of acquaintances and many close friends. Mr. and Mrs. Logan are making their home in New York City. The groom is the son of Warren Logan, of Tuskegee Institute.

Margaret M. Liszniewska gave a thoroughly enjoyable concert in the Howard University concert series presented by the Howard University School of Music. As the hour approached for the artist's appearance, music lovers from every walk of life were seen making their way to the chapel. Some in taxis, others in their own automobiles, and still others preferring to walk along the picturesque campus paths. But all with this single thought in mind: "It's going to be great!" And so it was. A charming personality pluspoise predisposed the audience at once in Mme. Liszniewska's favor and the interest of the listeners grew apace as more and more the rich talent of the artist was disclosed. On and on until the final numer, "St. Francis Walking on the Waves" (Liszlt), and wasn't every note of that numer wonderful! You heard the roar of the rushing water, the fury of thunder and lightning; and then at the end, in the softest of singing tones, the hymn of praise for salvation from a deep and watery grave. Particularly lovely in its varied movements was the "Slow Viennese Waltz" (Friedman-Gaertner)—the first part sweet and charming, the second slow and energetic. Schumann was not left out of the program; neither was Chopin, nor Brahms, nor Goosens; nor was Schuert-Godowsky or Debussy. Mme. Liszniewska has the happy habit of stopping ever so often to delight her hearers with a bit of the history of some of her numbers, or maybe a pleasing anecdote of one of the grand old composers. And then after you were thus enlightened how thrilled you were with the offering, and how intensely enthusiastic you were as you heard the "raindrops" in the "Gargayle," and the "Punch and Judy" effect in the "Marionette Show." An appreciative audience applauded long and generously with "Tibbs" and "Allen" standing guard with tuxedo-clad ushers helping you find your place, and with Mme. Lsizniewska showing you that she knows exactly what to do with a piano, you couldn't keep from feeling at the close of the happy hour that "The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concoct of sweet sounds, is fit for"—well, let us hope there lives not such a man.

Following a hearing at which Brown and Powell appeared, the Commissioners sent the two laborers to the office of Capt. Howard F. Clark, chairman of the job assignment committee of the local CWA, with an order to see that they got back to work without loss. Third Man Fired Following this action the Commissioners issued a statement, however, in which they said that the men had been "very properly discharged" but that they were willing to overlook their offense "at this time." Asked whether this statement meant that men will be fired for distributing union circulars, the Commissioners replied that it did not. Meantime, a third laborer was fired yesterday by W. F. Zirkle, the Highway Department foreman who dismissed Brown. The discharged worker, whose name was not given, went to Zirkle's immediate superior who asked: "What did he fire you for?" "Distributing handbills for the union meeting next Thursday night," was the reply. Issue Statement Brown and Powell denied they had refused to work and claimed they were discharged because they distributed handbills urging union organization of CWA workers. The Commissioners later issued this statement; "The chief purpose of the CWA work is to provide employment and self-respecting relief to deserving men and women. Employees under this work who refuse to render service equal to the most moderate requirement are on the face of this fact deserving. "In these particular cases, the CWA authority is willing at this time to pass over what they hope was a temporary delinquency in refusing to work with the most moderate diligence and for which these men were very properly discharged, and to authorize the re-employment of these men and their continued employment so long as they render reasonable, earnest service while so employed. If failure to so render service, again occurs discharge will be made final." The men are said to be members of the Communist party and are connected with the organization led by Harold Spencer, a well known Communist. Perhaps you didn't know it, but there is a law against hoarding milk bottles. To the women who still bake their own bread: rub the tops of loaves with butter both before and after baking to make them deliciously soft.

Demands Made for Reversal Of Scottsboro Lynch Verdicts Motions Filed Before’ Judge Callahan at» Decatur are Preliminary to Appeal to Alabama - i State Supreme Court death verdicts against Clarence Norris and. Heywood Patterson have been filed here with Judge W. W. Callahan, and copies de- livered to Attorney-General Thom- as E.

At the same time it_was an- nounced that hearing on the mo- tions as been: postponed. to Janu- ary 27, by ‘which date the- tran- script of the trial reco: will have been completed. The , preliminary motions filed now will’ probably” be replaced, by + completed . motions after the attorneys have received and studied. the record in the case. The motions now filed, it was Peinted out, are necessary legal preliminaries to taking the cases to the Alabama State’ Supreme Court for review. The LL.D. has pointed out that while Judge Callahan -has it. in “his ower to reverse the verdict. he Fiouett was the chief lyncher in the-court,. as. proved by his open coaching of prosecution witnesses, his’ obvious prejudice ioward the defendants, and his closins charge to the jury. © Only’ mass pressure can, force Judge Callahan to. re- verse, the I.L:D. said. ~ Six Points Raised Six (main -points* are raised in a motions, which’ demand revers- al of the verdicts: of. the Decatur lynch: jury. : The ‘illegality of the ‘indictments under which’ the boys were ‘tried, and which were’ handed down’ by. a lily-white: grand jury ‘picked in vio- jation of the “14th” amendment ito the U. S.-constitution is put for- ward us sufficient basis for a re- versal. Besides’ this, the fact that the jury record was tampered with, and names of Negroes forged on. it by, Jackson count~ officials, proved in court, and that Judge Callahan brazenly -refused ‘to’ recognize this proven: fact, is also held to-be a reversable error» 1 ; The illegal exclusion of Negroes from the trial jury is also cited as grounds for reversal, In the denial of the change’ of venue, the 1.L,D; charges that’ it was not only proved: by. numerons affidavits. that the Scottsboro boys and their lawyers. were: in anges ci their lives in Decatur and that it- wao impossible ‘to obtain any semblance of a fair trial in Morgan county, but also that this was Proved in the course of the trial and especially in the selection of trial jurors. Had Fixed Opinions In the Patterson case, it is point- ed: out, 25 prospective jurors out of one hundred were honest enough to admit they had fixed opinions of his guilt—set bythe lymeh-cam- paign of the Alabama white rulinz- class press, and by. the lynch- incitement of | ex-Senator Heflin, night, and dthers--and in the Norris ‘trial, 35 out of ... hundred. In spite of this large proportion of. admitted. fixed’ opinions, the LL.D. charges this would have been even’ larger -had the jurors -not hidden their opinions for the put- pose of getting on thé jury in the first place, and had-not Callahan made an illegal definition of fixed opinion and brought pressure on the prospective jurors not to admit ‘such opinions, So brazen was this maneuver of Callahan's, it is set out, that one juror Humphries, who actually ad- mitted fixed opinion in the Patter- son, trial, denied it and actually served on the Norris jury atter pressure had. been brought upon him by the judge, - Callahan's definition’ of fixed. opinion. put the burden of proof. of innocence: upon the defendant, the motion-papers, supported: by the record, show. This is in direct .violation of the supposed principle of law that the burden of proof is upori the prose- cution, and-that if the prosecution cannot prove its. case, ‘the defend- ant must be acquitted whether any defense or denial is erftered or not. Callahan Prejudieed The general prejudicial attitude of Callahan, who acted as proseeu- tion in the trial, is cited as a reversable point, and specific charges of prejudice are made against him- besides. It is shown that the verdict ix in direct contradiction to. the testi- mony of other witnesses. Callahan refused to permit any testimony as to the physical con- dition of Victoria Price, the part of the medical testimony which proved the Scottsboro. bay's could not have raped her, and yet in his charge to the juty referred to. the one fact he did allow to be present- ed as proof of rape. In general, the I-L.D. charges— and backs up. the charges with pecific proof from. the record, Callahan made every effort to ex- clude all proof of innocence of the boys, acting in a- manner almost une=eupled for high-handed erook- sciness and brazen’ prejudice, in the histars of eanitatine 4c. Se Ruby’s Testimony Excluded In the Patterson. case, the ex- clusion of the testimony’ of Ruby Bates and of Dr, E. E. Reisman of Chattanooga, a gynecologist, were in themselves reversible errors due to prejudice.

WALLER, the only Negro appointee in the Emergency Relief Division. Mr Waller is in charge of transient cases. A. O. WALLER ONLY NEGRO IN RELIEF BUREAU WORK A. O. WALLER ONLY NEGRO IN RELIEF BUREAU WORK An average of 1,000 cases a week, with white subjects outnumbering colored by about 5 or 6 to 1, is the work being handled by the transient bureau, of the Emergency Relief Division, according to Arthur O. Waller, former athletic director at Howard University and now the only Negro employed in that unit. Mr. Waller told the Tribune, early this week, that the duty of the bureau to which he is assigned is to handle the cases of men who have no fixed residence, men who have either left or given up their homes and are travelling about the country in search of immediate employment. These men, according to Mr. Waller, are not eligible for relief because of their lack of legal residence. It is the purpose of the bureau to either persuade these men to return to the places of their legal residence or to influence their settling in one community long enough to establish themselves as residents. In such cases relief becomes a possibility. Among these cases, most of which are male, there is to be found all types of personalities. Some are men with college education, thrown out of employment by economic conditions. Most of them, however, are wanderlusts. Mr. Waller is the only colored appointee in the division. He works in the office with fourteen white case-workers and two supervisors. Raymond Swann, 17, of 86 I Street, Southwest, was treated at Casualty Hospital, Sunday, after he had lacerated the index finger of the left hand which became caught in a door. Negro Holds Life Cheat The White Man Does Group, With One-third of Population Cent of Homicides; Many Cases Some Given Year C Negro Holds Life Cheaper than The White Man Does in District the Negro in Washington needs little more than one-third of the total population. According to the District Health Department, the colored population of the District is 137,000; white, 358,000. Many Cases Dismissed Records show that heavier sentences are frequently given to Negroes for robbery, larceny, or burglary than are given when one slays another. A personal of the statistical table on the subject, carried in the last issue of the Tribune, reveals that many cases are dismissed after summary investigation as being justifiable homicides. There is a possibility that this procedure can be attributed to a lack of public interest in the principals. The above paragraph will enable one to understand the difference of the totals between the grand jury docket and the report from the morgue. to be released soon.

Sousa, 1613 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, a driver for a taxicab company here, was taken for a ride, himself last week, to his surprise, but the ride was to police headquarters and the District jail. The instigator of the ride was Beatrice Burke, of New Jersey, who told police she was Sousa's wife. She had the man arrested on a charge of bigamy following the marriage of Sousa to Miss Sylvia Harrison about a month ago. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. T. Murray, pastor of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church Miss Burke claimed she is the mother of two children and Sousa is the father. She learned of his marriage here and "came to Washington to see what it was all about." Sousa, who is represented by Attorney Armond W. Scott, admits being the father of the children, but denies ever having married Miss Burke. He also admits that he lived with the woman for a period of seven years in common-law marriage, but 'a legitimate ceremony was never performed. Following a preliminary hearing in Police Court Monday morning Sousa was released under $500.00 bond pending a jury trial set for January 10. Two taxicab drivers, one colored and the other white, were held for the action of the grand jury, Tuesday, in connection with the death of Coleman Butler, 21, of the first block of L Street, Northwest. Butler received fatal injuries when he was pinned against a tree by one of the taxis after a collision between the two cabs at New Jersey Avenue and L Street, December 3. The drivers held were Robert Chapman, 33, of the 400 block of M Street, Northeast, and Charles Smith, 40, white, of the 200 block of Ppshur Street, Northwest. Harrison Higdon, 42. Funeral services for Harrison Higdon, 42, of 157 N Street, Southeast, were held from the John Stewart Memorial M.E. Church, Tuesday, with the pastor, the Rev. Eugene Williams officiating. The Rev. Grant Contee, pastor of the Calvary M.E. Church, and the Rev. B. H. Whiting, pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church, also eulogized the deceased. Mr. Higdon leaves to mourn their loss a wife, four children, and a father who is nearing the century mark. HELD UNDER $3,000 BAIL Charged with robbery, Otis Pitman, 30, of the first block of L Street, Northwest, was ordered held for action of the grand jury, Monday, following a hearing before Judge Gus A. Schuldt. By E. W. BAKER Washington's. Negro population is confronted with the tragic reality that out of less than 100 homicides in 1953, 64, or more than 70 per cent, were committed by members of its own group. This calculation is based upon figures taken from the grand jury dock and the homicide record. As appalling as they are, a report from the District Moye is expected to show a higher number of homicides. The very first observation a person makes is that one Negro apparently does not give a tinker's dam about the life of another Negro. Reasoning from this point, it can readily be seen how easy it is for the other group to come to the conclusion that the life of a Negro is cheaper than that of a white man. It is not difficult then to argue that the two races should not be judged not punished by the same standards. To gain his high homicide rate, IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE CATCHES HAND IN DOOR ASKS CURB ON GRADUATION EXPENSES ASKS CURB ON GRADUATION EXPENSES Students Impose on Selves Assessments Averaging Around $14 Simplify expenses incidental to graduation and reduce the cost to individual students and their parents to the minimum was the gist of a circular sent to all elementary, junior, and senior high schools, last week, by Dr. Frank W. Ballon, superintendent of schools. The situation, to which the attention of the Board of Education was called last year, was again introduced before that body more recently by Dr. Charles H. Houston, dean of the Howard University Law School, a board member. Dr. Houston quarried whether or not the board could do anything to keep the expenses down as many parents could barely afford to keep their children in school and found it a heavy burden to meet the various costs of the graduation exercises. Dr. Ballou explained that the schools themselves do not impose any assessment, but that the high expenses were imposed by the students themselves and included such as class rings, social events, or perhaps certain dress requirements. The question confronting the board, Dr. Ballou declared, was that of deciding just how far the school authorities should go in curbing the voluntary actions of the graduating class. Requests Expense Slash Requests Expense Slash In his letter to the principals, the superintendent wrote: "It is the unanimous wish of the board that school principals exercise every reasonable effort to keep at a minimum the expenses connected with the graduating exercises, whether such expenses have to do with the requirements of the school, or depend on the action taken collectively by the members of the graduating classes. Questioned about the situation as it pertains to the Minor Teachers' College, Dr. E. A. Clark, president of the institution, averred that they had practically, reached "rock bottom" in keeping graduation expenses to the minimum. The students of that institution paid a total tax of only $5 last year, according to the president. For this sum, they secured the use of a cap and gown for three special occasions, class day, commencement, and the vespers. The cap and gown were secured for $2, while the remaining $3 was used for printing flowers for decoration, ribbons and seals for diplomas, class play expenses, and such incidentals. Figures for what the probable cost to the colleges first graduates, in June, are not available at present, the president stated. Asked about expenses they impose upon themselves, such as the ring and year book, Dr. Clark averred that a plan had been worked out whereby any student who did not wish or could not afford a ring would not be embarrassed. Start Saying Eearly In reference to the class play and year book, the president detailed the manner in which the students begin early in the year to add to the treasury. Each class is allowed to have one pay entertainment a year, well planned, from which the proceeds go to the class treasury to aid in taking care of graduation incidentals. The presentation and successful preparation of these affairs is regarded as good business training by the school head. The senior class, he continued, has been instructed not to plan any activities that will bring a hardship on themselves or their parents. Make Own Assessments A survey of the senior high schools reveals that the students tax themselves far more than they are taxed by the schools. A student at the Armstrong High school pays an average of $3 a year in dues, according to the class in which he happens to be. For graduation, they must secure a suit or dress, the cost of which is dependent upon the circumstances of the student's family. Their optional expenses include a year book at about $3, and a ring which may require an additional $6.50. The dues imposed on a Cardozo graduating student comes to about $2.50, but they have an optional expense of near $10. This includes senior prom, 50 cents; senior lunchon, 25 cents; ring, $6; and class pin, $3. Students of this school (Continued on page 15) Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1934 Miner Teachers' College Accredited The Miner Teachers' College has been placed on the accredited list of the American Association of Teachers' Colleges, according to a statement by Garnet C.

Howard Women's Club Membership Drive The first membership drive for the purpose of enrolling each Howard alumna living in the District of Columbia has been launched by the Howard Women's Club. The drive is under the supervision of a membership committee headed by Mrs. S. W. Black, chairman, and Miss S. M. Edelin, secretary. This committee has been largely responsible for the increase in attendance noticeable at each meeting of the club. The committee recently sent thirty copies of a letter requesting that all Howard Alumnae join the club to the various schools of the city. One hundred and fifty new members is the minimum goal toward which the club is working. Each present member has pledged herself to bring some new member to the meetings of the association whenever possible. Next meeting will be held at the Y.M.C.A., January 15. at 7:30 p.m. TO TAKE FIGHT FOR FIRE HOUSE TO U.S. CONGRESS TO TAKE FIGHT FOR FIRE HOUSE TO U.S. CONGRESS The Southwest Civic Association announced this week that it will carry its fight for a new fire house and new and adequate equipment for Engine Company No. 4 and new nose wagon for Engine Company No. 13 to Congress. In a letter to Congressman Clarence Cannon, chairman of the SubCommittee of the House Committee on Appropriations, this week, the Committee on Public Service of the Association asked for a hearing when the 1935 D. C. appropriation bill comes up for consideration. An appeal has also been addressed to Congressman Oscar DePriest soliciting his influence and interest. "Forgotten Company" In a statement this week, Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the Committee on Public Service, said: "All of the undesirable features of the Fire Department center around No. 4 Engine Company. It was among the last to be motorized; has had the admitted slowest hose wagon for 12 years; it has been the apparent "dumping ground" for second-hand fire engines, the life of which has been sapped by other companies; it has the worst located and the fourth oldest of 44 fire houses. It has been the 'forgotten fire company', of the Fire Department. " Its fire house has been 'patched up' numerous times; and it is now being 'patched up' by funds which are said to have been secured by the CWA. Gets New Siren "A new fire siren warning passing traffic that No. 4 is coming out of its house on a fire has just been installed on the front of the building this week. Citizens feel that this should have been done 30 years ago. "No. 4 is situated in the center of a highly congested, governmental, business, residential and warehouse area with a high conflagration hazzard. Its importance cannot be refuted. It should not be relegated to the background and classed with suburban fire companies in the outlying districts. Man Burned to Death "Last Saturday night two fires of major importance occurred in Southwest Washington within six hours. To both of these No. 4 Engine Company was the first engine company due. An estimated amount of $10,000 worth of damage was done in an all night fire at the newly constructed $1,500,000 plant at First and V Streets, Southwest, of the Potomac Electric and Power Plant. A colored man, 80 years old, was burned alive at 403 Delaware Avenue, Southwest, when his bed clothes were said to have been ignited from a cigarette. Called Fire Trap "Citizens of Southwest know not when fire will strike. We know not whose property and life will be destroyed—whether the rich or the poor. "Patching up a 65-year-old fire house, which has been called a fire trap and termed an impediment to proper fire protection, and the penalizing of residents and business concerns of Southwest with the slowest and most inadequate equipment are discriminations against which citizens righteously rebel."

Herring. The three colored artists are: Dan Reed, Elizabeth Catlett, and Henry Hudson. The works of these artists will probably be distributed through the school system or used for permanent or for traveling exhibitions in the libraries here. The major interest of the project is to develop native artists, not to act as a relief organization, although the artist cannot participate if he has any other means of support. The works of the aspiring colored artists were presented to the Regional Committee on Art by Prof. Herring and Lessene Wells, a member of the art department. They were sworn in on Saturday and have already begun work on their project. Morgan Professor Receives Contract for Second Book Prof. S. Randolph Edmonds, of the department of dramatic art.

Morgan School thrilled at the visit of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife of the President, as she walked into their building during the tour of local educational institutions, Tuesday. The Eighteenth and V Streets school was the second of the four covered by the First Lady and her party. The tour, conducted for the purpose of investigating the hot-lunch service being provided the city's needy school children, was made at the suggestion of Mrs. Henry Gratton Doyle, vice-president of the Board of Education, and included beside Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, wife of the Secretary of the Treasury.

Kiger Savoy, assistant superintendent of schools; Miss Mineola Kirkland, supervising principal of the tenth division; Mrs. D. W. Miller, director of household arts in divisions 10-13 and Miss Edith Lyons, principal of the Morgan School, received the party. Mrs. Roosevelt arrived just prior to the luncheon period. Six academic and two special classes were visited by the First Lady who showed especial interest in the policy in operation. Activities in the auditorium and wood-work shop were greeted enthusiastically. The work in these two classes was under the direction of Mrs. F. M. Garvin and Mrs. F. T. Broadus, respectively. The classrooms Mrs. Roosevelt entered were conducted by Mrs. V. S. Peters and Mr. B. W. Smith, and the Misses A. M. Jackson, B. M. Parker, M. E. Brent, and T. M. Carroll. See Children Fed Four parents, volunteer workers of the Morgan Parent-Teacher Association, were also addressed by the First Lady as she entered the school lunch-room where more than 30 needy children were being fed hot-lunches under the CWA program. They were: Mesdames Albany, Bullock, Richardson and Brice. An expressed fear by Mrs. Roosevelt that the children who were thus being favored by charity might become "stigmatized" by reason of being pointed out as children who did not get anything to eat at home, was somewhat allayed by both Mr. Wilkinson and Miss Citizens Divided Of Retaining M Inquiring Reporter for The Random in Effort to L With Working M Citizens Divided on Question Of Retaining Married Teachers Inquiring Reporter for The Tribune Selects Persons at Random in Effort to Learn Whe ther Women With Working Mates Should Teach By EDAWRD BALLARD Question: Should married women teach in the school system?

Dr. Algernon Jackson: "No, if a married teacher's husband is receiving a good income she should not be teaching in the school syswife both should not be teaching school." Joseph M. Gibson, tailor: "Yes, a married teacher is more capable of teaching school than a single one. Of the two I would rather have a married teacher to teach my children because I call her better experienced." Miss Bertha Robinson, clerk: "Sure, why can't a married woman teach in the schools?

The latter said that although her school had been serving these pupils from federal funds only since January 9, more than half the number now fed had been cared for from school efforts for a long time prior to that date.

Albert J. Redmond, insurance agent: "Yes, it is not the fault of a teacher that she happens to be married. Why should she be deprived of life's happiness? If there were a law against married teachers in the schools there would be a lot of old maids teaching school." Mrs. Authorh E. White, housewife: "No, they should not be teaching in the school system if they are married. One reason is because I don't think that a teacher can have a clear mind to teach if she is married. There should be a law requiring only single women to teach in the school system and when a teacher decides she wants to get married she should drop out and let some other woman replace her."
