INSURANCE HEAD DROPS DEAD — Twelve-year-old Richmond, Va. boy who returned to his home Wednesday from a 2,000-mile trip, during which time he had been kidnapped, transported half way across the United States, held in peonage on a slave plantation-bandit hideout in Oklahoma, quartered with a pack of blood hounds, one of which bit a plug out of his leg when he attempted to escape, forced to labor long hours without pay, finally escaping and under care of the Travelers' Aid Society brought back to his home. About four months ago, Willy said, he was walking to school in Richmond when a skidbed and came to a sudden stop in front of him. A woman got out and said, "Come on, boy, get in this car—we want to show you something down here." At the same time one of the two men in the car pointed a gun at him. Willy got in. When he started crying a few blocks farther on, the woman said, "there's no use crying—you're gone." Willy said they drove to Washington, Philadelphia and New York before coming to Oklahoma. They reached the Oklahoma farm about three days after the kidnapping. Forced to Work Long Hours Willy says he was put to work looking after a pack of dogs that his captains from time to time exhibited at bench shows. At night he climbed a ladder to a stufty room above the dog house. He says he worked from before daylight till after dark. His kidnappers, he said, did not mistreat him, but they left, supposedly for Hot Springs, a few days after their arrival at the farm and he was left in care of a couple who apparently managed the place. They believed in horse-whip discipline and lashed him several times, once when he couldn't handle a plow to their satisfaction. It was after he had received a (Continued on page 2) MODEL HOUSING PLAN APPROVED BY COMMITTEE Low Priced Building to Be Erected by Government in Northwest A plan to renovise and rebuild a model housing area in the Northwest section was approved by the National Housing Committee which met in the Bar Building this week. The area includes from the south side of W Street, including the north side of Elm Street, from the east side of Fifth Street, including the west side of Second Street. The plans for the project were drawn by Hilyard Robinson, of Howard University. Three classes of houses are included in the project; a few for professionals and for middle classes, but the majority will be for the persons with small incomes. The entire project will be under government supervision and reacts will be compared with those now being paid by alley dwellers. The committee is headed by Frederick Delano, a relative of President Roosevelt. There are three colored members on the committee: Judge James A. Cobb, Major Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., and the Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church. Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the President, was present during the meeting and was heartily in favor of the project submitted. It has also been suggested that Negro workers be employed to supervise the project during the erection of the houses and after they are completed. Will Rogers Criticized For Use of "Nigger" Term Over the Radio NRA MEMBER U.S. WE DO OUR PART Vol. XIII, No. 39 INSL Will Roger For Use o Term Over Famous Radio and News Syndicate Humorist is Attacked in Letters WIRES THAT REMARKS WERE UNINTENTIONAL Gasoline Company Sponsors Deny Being Responsible for Act By SAMUEL H. LACY Militant Negro organizations and individuals lost no time assailing Will Rogers, internationally famous humorist, for the use of alleged insulting remarks during his weekly broadcast, last Sunday night. The program, sponsored by the Gulf Refining Company, producers of petroleum products, was broadcast over a nation-wide hook-up on the National Broadcasting Company, and was relayed to Washington through Station WMAL Rogers, in a fashion characteristic of the South rather than of the section from which he comes, used the term "nigger" on several occasions. Speaking in his own unique style, the Westerner who in the past several years has been exploited as an outstanding national figure, employed the word as an adjective in describing the song "The Last Roundup." On several occasions later in the program, Rogers made use of the term which many of the thousands of hitherto admiring colored listeners were compelled to accept as malicious. Letters Flay Rogers Numerous letters of protest have been received by the Tribune during the three days following the broadcast. Some of them indicated that the Gulf Refining Company, the National Broadcasting Company, and Station WMAL, as well as Rogers himself have been appealed to for some action in an effort to prevent a recurrence of the insult or any similar offense. Two letters, seething with the belligerence characteristic of the CROWDS CONTINUE COOKING SCHOOL TO PACK TRIBUNE Hundreds of Free Prizes Given Away Each Night at Casino Thousands of women crowded the Murray Casino Thursday and Tuesday nights to attend the classes of the third annual session of The Tribune Cooking School.

Scott was taken from the Perry County Jail by the mob and put in a truck, driven to a cemetery, 15 miles south of here. He was hanged to a tree while 40 bullets riddled his body. He was accused of beating a white miner to death. Hundreds of deputized citizens patrolled the streets in order to thwart the reprisals threatened by the colored forces. The lynching marked the first of 1934, and the first in Kentucky since 1932. No colored persons have been lynched in the state since 1927. DePRIEST COUPE RETAINS HOWARD UNIVERSITY UNIT Assured by the administration of Howard University that the School of Engineering would not be discontinued, indications were, Wednesday, that a resolution offered by Congressman Oscar DePriest in the House of Representatives to save the unit from rumored abolition would be withdrawn. The Illinois Congressman's coupe came Friday, when he tagged on to the Interior Department's appropriation bill an amendment which provided that if the School of Engineering was abolished $20,000 would be cut off the Howard University appropriation. According to Mr. DePriest, it was rumored that the trustees of Howard were planning to abolish this school and to use the appropriation for other purposes. The resolution came as the result of a promise to members of the National Technical Association and a group who have lobbied for the retention of the School of Engineering. With the assurance that the school would be continued, it was reported at the office of the Congressman, Wednesday, that in all probability the resolution which served as a $20,000 club over the heads of the college would be withdrawn. Movie Star is Guest of Newspaper Men at Luncheo Miss Etta Moten, star of "Flying Down to Rio," and celebrated artist, was the guest of Washington newspapermen at a luncheon, Wednesday, at Harrison's Cafe. Miss Moten will appear at the Lincoln Theatre in her picture next week. She was a guest at the Dunbar High School in the morning where she was given a rousing reception by the students. Later she visited the office of Congressman Oscar DePriest and the Municipal Court, where she met Judge James A. Cobb. Miss Moten is a graduate of the University of Kansas and is one of the greatest stars of the screen and stage. According to an announcement by the Joint Citizens' Committee, the census project which is to be sponsored by Howard University under the Civil Works Administration will cost $30,000. Over 160 white collar workers will be employed under... director and five supervisors. National FURNITURE CO. MODERNIZE WITH GA JIM CROW IN HOUSE HIT BY DE PRIEST Rank Segregation which bobbed up in the cafeteria of the House Office Building, Tuesday, when Morris Lewis, secretary of Congressman Oscar DePriest, and a friend were bluntly refused service was made the object of a legislative investigation in a resolution introduced by the Congressman on Wednesday. Representative Lindsay C. Warren, Democrat, of North Carolina, chairman of the House Accounts Committee, which operates the House restaurant, took full responsibility for the incident in a statement reputed to have been issued by him shortly after its occurrence. "In refusing to serve two colored persons in the House restaurant, P. H. Johnson, white, manager of the restaurant, was acting under my orders and instructions," Representative Warren is reported to have stated "The restaurant has been operated by the committee since 1921. It has never served colored employees or visitors, nor will it, so long as I have anything to do with the restaurant." When Mr. Lewis and his associate visited the cafeteria and were refused service, the former's query to Mr. Johnson brought forth the foregoing alleged order of the North Carolina Congressman. Efforts made later by Mr. Depristi to contact Mr. Warren regarding the jim-cow order were futile, being informed by his secretary that Mr. Warren was not in. Speaking with a representative of The Washington Tribune, Mr. Thousands of Washington housewives attended The Tribune Cooking School Tuesday and Thursday of this week. Hundreds of free prizes were distributed and the school this year was voted the best ever held in the District. The top picture shows a part of the interested crowd listening to the lectures by the demonstrator. The winners of the free prizes on Tuesday night are shown in the lower picture. Included in the prizes are 20 bags of groceries, 20 bags of coal, a case of beer, pies, cakes and roast meats. The Tribune is the only colored paper in Washington to sponsor such a project and plans are being made to accommodate the huge crowd on the closing night when the grand prizes will be given away. The school will be held next Tuesday with the closing night on Thursday, February 1. 151 TO GRADUATE FROM DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS 72 from Armstrong; 52 from Dunbar and 27 are from Cardozo A total of 151 students graduated from the three high schools during the mid-year commencements this month.

The unit, including 17 men, is now housed in an antiquated structure "behind the railroad tracks" with aged and inadequate equipment. For sometime, the Southwest Civic Association has been waging a fight to secure a new fire house and new equipment for the colored firemen. One of the most energetic leaders in the effort to have the inferior housing and inadequate equipment replaced is Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the committee on public service of the Southwest Association. Dr. Johnson is now mustering his forces to carry the fight to Congress to obtain modern equipment for No. 4 Fire Company. Stellar and distinguished roles played by the unit in many of the city's large fires, according to information compiled by Dr. Johnson, are related in the following accounts. 13 Lives Saved Thirteen lives were saved by members of the company in January 1922, at the Knickerbocker Theatre disaster, at Eighteenth and Columbia Road, Northwest. One was a young man who was rescued by Sergeant J. F. Mills. The young man later became a cadet at West Point and is now an officer in the A Hometown Paper of, by, and for Washingtonians DEAD ```markdown ``` regular army. Each year when he returns to the city, he pays a visit to No. 4 and expresses his gratitude to Sergeant Mills and the company. Battle Way to Safety At the five-alarm fire among the temporary government buildings at Twenty-first and B Streets, Northwest, in July 1930, it was reported over the radio that the entire No. 4 company had been trapped within the confines of the fire. For some time it was feared that all had been lost, however, they valiantly fought their way out to safety. Stationed on the roof right over the fire, No. 4 played an important part in extinguishment of the fire which demolished the executive offices of the White House on December 24, 1929. A few days later, on January 3, 1930, the unit was the second company on the scene at the five-alarm fire which broke out in the south wing of the United States Capitol.

T. TAYLOR DROPS DEAD IN HIS ROOM Well Known Business Man Dies Suddenly after Leaving Friends Clifford T. Taylor, founder of the Federal Life Insurance Company, and its secretary-manager for a number of years, dropped dead early Sunday morning at his rooming house, 1925 S Street, Northwest. Mr. Taylor, who resigned from the Federal Life several months ago, was organizer and secretary-manger of the Co-operative Association, an organization with insurance features. WELL AT NIGHT He was with friends last Saturday evening, and left a number of them to go to his room. He retired apparently in the best of health. Mrs. Laura A. Griffith, with whom he lived, heard a fall in his room early Sunday morning, and on investigating she found him lying on the floor. He was pronounced dead by a physician. His body was taken to the District Morgue where it was announced that death was caused by acute indigestion. HAD NO RELATIVES Mr. Taylor was never married, according to reports, and had no relatives here in the District. I. Cunningham, a merchant at Twelfth and Q Streets, Northwest, and a close friend, took charge of the body. Funeral services will be held Thursday from the undertaking parlor of Malvan and Scheme, 424 R Street, Northwest. Interment will be in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. The Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, of which Mr. Taylor was a member, will connect the services. BORN IN TENNESSEE Mr. Taylor was born in Jackson, Tenn., and came to Washington in 1916, to work with the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. He resigned from the National Benefit to form his own company, the Federal Life. He left the latter organization last year and only recently formed the Co-operative Association. 11-YEAR-OLD BOY CRUSHED TO DEATH Failure to use a tunnel, provided for the safe crossing of an otherwise dangerous thoroughfare, resulted in the death of Milton Robinson, 11-year-old Young Platoon School pupil. Monday afternoon. The child died at Casualty Hospital little more than two hours after being struck and knocked down by a Baltimore-bound Washington-Baltimore-and-Annapolis electric train, near Twenty-fourth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast. Arthur Miller (white), 48, of Baltimore, Md., motorman of the train, was absolved of any breach of caution by a coroner's jury, Wednesday, which adjudged the boy's death "the result of an accident." FIRE DESTROYS LOMAX CHURCH Fire of unknown origin destroyed the Lomax A.M.E. Zion Church, Nauck, Va., Saturday evening. Six fire engines from Arlington County and one from Alexandria responded to an alarm. The interior of the brick building was ruined. The fire was extinguished after a two-hour battle which resulted in five firemen receiving injuries. The damage done the building has not been estimated. The Rev. J. Robinson is pastor of the church. The pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church has extended an invitation to the pastor and members of Lomax to hold services in the former church. NEW YORK PASTOR OPENS REVIVAL The Rev. Dr. T. S.

Introducing new improvements and a new styling, they are the new 108-inch wheel base Plymouth Six and the new De Luxe Plymouth Six on 114-inch wheelbase. The new Plymouths have greater performance, improved riding comfort and other innovations. They have a new type of individual front wheel springing with ooil springs of a Molybdenum steel declared to be practically unbreakable under severe tests; more powerful 77 horsepower motors with floating power engine mountings; new bodies of low, raikish design; new interiors with luxurious trim and many other style and mechanical advantages. Both models retain all of their basic Chrysler Motors engineering features, including hydraulic-selfequalizing brakes and new all-steel bodies reinforced with steel. B. E. Hutchinson, chairman of the board of the Plymouth Motor Corporation, said, "the new Plymouths for 1934 represent the highest achievement of Chrysler Motors On the Air By Alice M. Martin HALF-HOUR OF HARLEM SERENADE STARS PROMISED the talented performers of the Negro revue, Harlem Serenade, will combine their efforts for another pot-pourri of trailing "blues" numbers, "hot licks" and spirited rhythm, to be broadcast over WABC and the Columbia chain on Tuesday, January 30, from 10:45 to 11:45 p.m. EST. The artists will include Alda Ward plaintive-voiced soloist, the very original Five Spirits of Rhythm, Orlando Robeson, and Claude Hopkins's Orchestra. Miss Ward will contribute the characteristic melodies, "Cabin in the Pines" and "Shadows on the Swance" and Orlando Robeson will offer the beautiful ballad, "Sylvia" Rhythms by the Spirits of Rhythm will include "Keepin' Tempo," "Climbin' Them Golden Stairs," and "Runnin' Wild" and the orchestra will complete the program with "Hopkins' Scream," "Honeysuckle Rose," "Ain't Misbehavin'", and "Shake Yo' Ashes."

They'll lend a new intensity to that popular song, "Heat Wave" and will feature a new novelty number, "Dr. Hekyl and Mr. Jyde," a spiritual, and "Shouttin' in That the Lott Carry Convention by Rev.

These new Plymouths have every mechanical advantage found in the past on our highest priced Chrysler Motors cars." There are more than 21 new features and improvements on the new Plymouth cars. These are as follows: Independent front wheel springing, even on the lowest priced Plymouth models. The new springing system banishes wheel shimmy, "wheel fight" and gives the new Plymouths better riding qualities. In addition to the new system of individual springing, the new cars have exclusive shockless crosssteering. A bigger, 77-hour-power motor which combines performance with economy. This is accomplished through many motor refinements and downdraft carburition. An aluminum cylinder head is available as extra equipment on both models, increasing horsepower to 82. A new ventilating system. Both the Plymouth Six and the De Luxe model have a new type of 'coil wind' windshield. A small handle directly above the center of the instrument panel opens the windshield with a twist, of the wrist. There is also a coily ventilator. In addition, the De Luxe Plymouth has side window vents. They may be adjusted to any angle to control air currents and when required, they can also be lowered with—or without—the entire window out of sight into the door itself.

Sissle will return to Chicago in early March. **** CROSBY AND THE MILLS' GO OVER WITH SONG Bing Crosby and the Mills Brothers presented their version of "Somebody Stole Gabriel's Horn" last Monday night, in the unusual novelty manner the Mills boys are noted for. Bing's selections from his current picture "Going Hollywood," plus Gus Arnheim's version of Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady," provided a half-hour well spent in delightful entertainment. None of the Five Spirits of Rhythm can read a note of music, so they hire a pianist to go over all new numbers to get the melody right. Pearl Wright has been accompanying Ethel Waters on the piano for eleven years. Several Columbia artists are learning to play "a tipple"—an overgrown ukulele with the strings reversed—which was introduced by the Five Spirits of Rhythm. 5 RADIO PROGRAMS EVERY WEEK MON-WED-FRI-FRANK E JIM WJSV TUES-THUR-"CROMWELLE CRIST" WILKINS COFFEE-TEA THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

Thesdscoe “clea ae flow Chryslers— are eight cylin- ders of an entirly new design and with fundamentals changed in the weight distribution.

To obtain a better balance, rear seat passengers ride in Airflow Chry- slers 20 inches in front of the rear axle, instead of over it, ax had been the practice heretofore. In the old design, the envine—the heaviest unit in a car—was behind the front this mass weight is over the front ax'e.

A 80-HORSEPOWER M O T O R I N K NEE ACTION CHEVROLET The 1984 Chevrolet with knee-action wheels, 80-horsepower "blue streak" engine, streamlined body and a list of improvements and refinements is on display at the Washington Auto Show. The new Crevrolet is longer—it has a 112-inch wheelbase—roomier, more powerful and more quiet than its predecessor. The engine is placed several inches farther forward to permit rearrangement of the seats, allowing more space for occupants. The increased power delivered by the new "blue streak" engine and the many motor refinements, combined with chassis improvements, insure fast, safe, economical and quiet operation. Both front and rear seat passengers are insulated from road shocks by the introduction of independent front wheel suspension—known as knee action wheels—combined with improved rear spring suspension and a more balanced distribution of weight. Knee Action Wheels By independent front wheel suspension is meant the attachment of the front wheels to the frame without the use of a front axle.

Independent springing relieves the front springs of this task and permits the use of a front spring which has a soft action. The new "blue streak" engine is more powerful, smoother, quieter and more economical than any of its predecessors. Incorporating many unique design features and refinements, the motor develops 80 horse-power. Muca testing over a three-year period was given the new Chevrolet engine. Engineers succeeded in developing a race type engine with small piston displacement and which was required to deliver exception'l high power. This naturally demanded valves of large diameter and in order to increase the valve size, it was necessary that the angle of the valves, as well as that of the spark plugs, be changed.

DISTRIBUTORS 2155 Champlain St. N.W. Col. 5050 Studebaker exhibited at the auto show by the Lee D. Lee Company. The "skyway" style became pronounced in Studebakers last October when new models were announced. Studebaker has placed low prices on the 1934 models. They start at $665, f. o. b. factory. Benefits of this streamlining design are many. Bodies approach the shape of welded steel spheres and are therefore stronger. Top speeds are higher and are achieved and sustained with less power plant energy. The sloping windshield permits better visibility; one may now observe overhead traffic signals with ease due to the setting back of the header panel (windsheild top). Also, streamlining results in less wind-roar by permitting air currents to flow pass quietly and smoothly. Quietness is further aided by effective body insulation in every panel. Indoor are roomier than previous models. Seats are wider and deeper, lag room is more abundant. Headroom has been increased, yet the bodies are lower and have greater stability. An example of greater roominess is found in the fact that Dictator sedans have front seats 50 inches wide. Commander and President models have front seats of similar proportions.

The front windows have been provided with ventilating vanes. These vanes are glass panels located at the door tops to create a venturi effect which draws off stale air or smoke. The entire front window may be rolled down if desired. The rear quarter windows are hinged at their forward sides and may be swung outwards, producing another venturi effect for drawing off bad air.

Ford transverse cantilever springs provide individual suspension for both front and rear axles. In the new Ford these springs have been made more flexible.

The new car has greater power, more speed, quicker acceleration, smoother performance, more miles per gallon, especially at higher speeds, and quicker starting in cold weather, plus refined body lines and a new built-in system of clear-vision body ventilation. The improvements in engine performance are the result of the use of a new dual down-draft carburetor and dual intake manifold which action for a front axle and comfort or being given today to cars are being tried in action for an auto-other tribute to the spring and the Ford we this car you get front wheels—but other springs provide both front and rear springs have been comfort plus this new Fordoline economy speed of 45 miles.

Williams who was fatally shot on December 16, by an agent of Chesapeake Beach Railroad, were heard in the District Supreme Court, Friday, when Mrs. Blanche Gray, aunt of the death youth, filed suit against against the railroad for $10,000 damages. C. E. Welch, white, employee of the railroad company, was exonerated by a coroner's jury after he testified that he shot Williams after the latter hurled a lump of coal at him. The autopsy revealed that the bullet entered William's back, two and one-quarter inches to the right of the midline. The petition to rdamages, which was filed through Nathan A. Dobbins, sets forth that Welch was not a commissioned officer of the law, neither did he have a permit to carry a revolver.

Both women were carried to Freedmen's Hospital, where Mrs. Gaskins died at 10:15 p.m. They were standing at the intersection when a Graham sedan driven by Louis Napoleon Brown, 44, of 1756 Oregon Avenue, Northwest, former organist at the Lincoln Theatre and prominent musician, collided with a Cadillac sedan driven by Charles Jenifer, 42, of 1115 Twenty-second Street, Northwest. Brown's car is said to have skidded as a result of the impact striking the women, also an auto and truck parked in front of 1335 Seventh Street. The auto, a Dodge, belonged to Herman Anderson, of 2225 Sherman Avenue., Northwest, while the truck was owned by Hymie Magziner, white. Brown was driving south on Seventh Street, while Jenifer was going West on O Street at the time of the accident. Both drivers were released under $1,000 bond furnished by J. Walter Stewart, bondsman, pending a coroner's inquest, Wednesday. A brake test revealed that those on Brown's machine were all right, but those of the Cadillac were found to be defective. Mr. Brown is a brother of Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, of the United States health department, also of Mrs. Lydia Brown Chew, teacher in the local schools. ASSAILANTS OF AKERS HELD IN $7,000 BONDS Three Who Attacked Deputy Marshal Required to Face Grand Jury Three white men, Victor Julino, Albert Smith, and John Schley, were ordered held under bonds totalling $7,000, following a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Needham C.urnage, on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, last Friday morning. The charges grew out of an attack perpetrated by the three men on Herbert C. Akers, veteran deputy marshal, as he was seizing an automobile in the 2500 block of K Street, Northwest, early last week. Mr. Akers, armed with a writ of replevin, sought to remove the car from the street near the home of Juliano. As he was driving off with the machine, Mr. Akers was struck over the head, allegedly with an automobile crank. Smith was arrested the following day, and the following day Juliano and Sleyb turned themselves over to the marshal's office. The charges of assault and of interfering with a deputy marshal as he was performing his duty, were filed against the trio. Arranged Friday, Juliano was ordered held in bond of $3,000 while each of the other two were given bonds of $2,000. Takes Pies As Collateral; Given 10 Days in Jail All the convincing talk of Willie Wilkes, 33-year-old Northeast resident, failed to move Police Judge Ralph Given into favorable mood, as the former was arraigned on a charge of petit larceny, last Saturday morning. His closing argument failed to net less than a 10-day sentence. According to the testimony, Wilkes grabbed a tray of 14 pies in lieu of an unpaid debt of four cents, which he asserted was owed him by Mary Freidman, white, proprietress of a small pastry shop in the 1600 block of Kramer Street Northeast. Taken into custody by police a few minutes later, Wilkes surrendered the pies, all intact.

KIDNAPPED BOY RETURNS HOME KIDNAPPED BOY RETURNS HOME (Continued from page 1) lashing that he made his getaway. They set bloodhounds on the trail and as he heed he could hear them baying, getting closer. Finally, as he staggered on, exhausted, one of the pack caught up with him and bit his leg. Walked to Swanee "I went back to the farm to a house where a colored woman lived and she bandaged up my leg and kept me all night," Willy said. "The white people didn't know I was back on the farm or they would have killed me. The next morning, before it was light, I slipped out of the house and got off the farm. A white man in a wagon picked me up and took me to the highway. He gave me a handful of matches and told me to light a fire if I got cold." Willy said he walked about thirteen miles to Swanee and found the Negro district. There he found a Negro woman who had been a hired servant at the slave farm. She sent the boy to Edito: Dunlee of the Black Dispatch. There were six Negroes on the place. Willy said. Only one other had been kidnapped. He said that he told him he had been kidnapped when he was a small boy and never had learned to read and write. Machine Gun on Guard The boy's description of the house convinced investigators that it was a hide-away for outlaws. He said a machine gun was kept mounted at all times in a window and that there was an underground passage that led from a tradoor in the house to an opening under a big tree next to the garage, where a big car was kept parked. Other parts of his story backed up the theory. The two men and woman who captured him would go away on trips and come back flashing big rolls of money. Visitors would come, stay two or three days and depart. Some of them had money, others were broke. U. S. Probes Story Further action awaits the arrival from Richmond of Federal warrants for the arrest of the kidnappers, whose names have been given to U. S. officers. Sheriff Stanley Rogers sent a wire to Richmond to determine whether Willy was kidnapped or ran away. Roscoe Dunjee, president of the Oklahoma N.A.A.C.P., and State officers in Oklahoma have attempted to shake the pay's story, but he has clung to it tenaciously, not being tripped upon even the slightest detail. Willy even now bears marks of the vicious dog's teeth on his leg. The work of Mr. Dunjee, who had charge of the boy in Oklahoma is being complimented in national circles. The sheriff at Oklahoma City has cooperated with Dunjee and the N.A.A.C.P. correspondence between Editor Dunjee of the Black Dispatch and Editor Norrell of The Planet indicates that the persons responsible for this outrage will be prosecuted.

WORKING GIRLS SO WOOD AND SO LIGHT Relief Investigators Po Unsanitary Condition in District That alleys are not the only places in Washington where deplorable living conditions may be found, is the observation of Dr. Leroy A. Halbert white, director of the local emergency relief organization under whose direction survey is now being conducted of the living conditions among the families on relief in the city. It is the belief of the director that some description of the actual condition under which many of the families helped by the emergency relief division are living would impress the public with the importance and value of the slum clearance project. The emergency relief division put to work some 25 people to compile information concerning the amount emergency relief families are paying in rents and what they are receiving for their money. It has been known in a general way that many families are living in basements, cellars and shacks which were unsuitable and paying rents which should secure decent living conditions. It has also been known that many families were progressively taking smaller and smaller quarters in order to save money and that there were hundreds of instances where families of four and five were living in a single room. 20 Found in Basement This survey has been in progress for about two weeks and frequent surprises have been the lot of the investigators. It is reported that in two instances houses were found where upwards of 20 men were living in basements under very unsanitary conditions. Provided only with cots, the men were paying $1.25 a week and upwards. The investigators reported, that such basement quarters were found to be gloomy and dark, and in one case, wet from overflowing sewer connections. On the upper floors of the house, the rooms were likewise rented. Investigators are trained to seek only specific information such as ownership of the house, size, condition of repair, ventilation, sanitary plumbing, heating, water and the number of persons living in the dwelling. The Washington survey now in progress, is in harmony with the plans of Harry L. Hopkins, federal emergency relief director, in his desire to compile information as to national needs.

WILL ROGERS IS CRITICIZED FOR USE OF NIGGER (Continued from page 1) National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Federation of Civic Associations from which they come, head a long list of written complaints from Negro factions and individuals which have found their way into The Tribune office. On behalf of the District of Columbia branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People I make protest against the insult offered Negroes of America by Mr. Will Rogers in his broadcast over your station on last Sunday evening, when he repeatedly used the opprobrious word "nigger." To all self-respecting members of the Negro race, and to a large and growing number of the white race, this word is highly objectionable. Every American, making any pretense at being educated, knows that it is a term of opprobrium and is aimed at a defenseless minority of our citizenry. Falling as it did from the lips of Mr. Rogers it has many of the elements of gratuitous insult, and we resent it with all the vehemence at our command. We appeal to you to use your good offices to prevent Mr. Rogers, or any other person using your air waves, from repeating this offense. The letter from George W. Bealey, 926 T Street, Northwest, president of the Federation of Civic Associations and one of the first to reach this office, follows: The Washington Tribune: We sometimes hesitate to give utterance to our feelings or make comment on what we hear over our radios even though our sense of propriety is greatly outraged. But the designation of our group by Will Rogers in his talk on Sunday evening last on the Gulf Refining Company half hour makes us think that silence often ceases to be a virtue. We are surprised that a man of his calibre should even casually stigmatize a people who are struggling with might and main to overcome its malignity. Those of us who are trying to play our part as citizens in a democracy protest such unscrupulous action. Only a few evenings have passed since I listened to a man pay tribute to the noble part which our group has wrought in the development of this country, and maintaed that we are entitled to a place somewhere in the sunlight of encouragement. And I think that this is a much better attitude. Mr. Rogers is well acquainted with the crisis through which this whole nation is passing, and the efforts for the good of all groups should be solicited and no aspersions entertained. (Signed) GEO. W. BEASLEY, President. Civic Association Protests The criticism offered by Dr. George L. Johnson, of the Southwest Civic Association, reached this office Wednesday morning. It reads as follows: My attention has been called to the fact that a nationally known humorist used the word "nigger" in a nation-wide hook-up which came in over a local radio broadcasting station, Sunday night. (Continued from page 1) A few typical letters follow: Station WMAL, Columbia Broadcasting Co., Washington, D.C. Gentlemen: Very true (Signed) (SMALL) & PINKETT, Raph Secretary. Federation Head Writes Civic Association Protests I am sure that the Southwest Civic Association will join in any campaign or protest to ban the use of this word or any other word or words offensive to the colored race group or any other racial group over the air. By well-organized protests such can be accomplished. Yours truly, GEORGE L. JOHNSON, M.D., Chairman, Committee on Public Service, Southwest Civic Association. Citizen's Decry Language The Washington Tribune, Sir: Heretofore I have been an interested listener of Will Rogers's broadcast for the Gulf Gasoline Company over Station WMAL, of the National Broadcasting Company, but last night (letter received Monday) while listening to his program I was surprised to hear him use the term "nigger" twice. It came about in this way. He was speaking of the song, "The Last Roundup," when he said that the words of the song were "cowboy," but that the melody was that of a "nigger" spiritual. The first time he used the term I wasn't certain, but he put my doubts at rest when he used the term a second time. I see no necessity for such terms being used over the air, so I refer the matter to you. Another individual wrote the fol- lowing letter: On Sunday evening, while answering a question about the song "Lil Doggie," Will Rogers said the song was something like a "nigger" spiritual, and then used the word o three other occasions. I am writing this station in protest against such a broadcast as I feel it was very unnecessary for him to use the word as he did. (Signed) MRS. STELLA C. WHITE, Member of the East Central Civic Association. Sponsors Make Statement Telegrams sent by The Tribune to both the Gulf Refining Company headquarters, in Philadelphia, Pa. and Rogers at Beverly Hills, Cal., received prompt answers. Two representatives of the gasoline company visited The Tribune Office, Tuesday morning. They were S. N. Wheatley, in charge of the automotive Division, and S. A. Parks, local agent. Both expressed a regret that the incident had occurred, and sought to assure the writer that the sponsors of the program had nothing whatever to do with the offensive portion of the broadcast. They declared that Rogers, being an extemporaneous speaker, could not be controlled prior to the commission of such an error. He submits no copy, they held out, from which such expressions of obvious antipathy might be deleted. A telegraphic reply from Rogers is as follows: Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, Northwest. Nothing was any more unintentional in my life. I was raised by 'em, raised with 'em, and anyone of 'em that ever knew me know what I think. I would suggest you wire Doctor Moton of Tuskegee. My remarks were meant to be complimentary to the great musical traits of your race. WILL ROGERS. Meanwhile letters and telephone calls continue to come into the office of The Tribune as local Negroes seek to use the newspaper as a medium of redress.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1934 THAT WORD AGAIN Our attention has been called to the fact that Will Rogers, nationally known figure, in a radio broadcast, Sunday night, used terms that have been objected to on numerous occasions as being offensive to the Negro race. Protests were filed with both Mr. Rogers and the sponsors of the program on which he makes his weekly appearance. From Mr. Rogers comes the following explanatory telegram: "Nothing was any more unintentional in my life. I was raised by 'em, raised with 'em, and anyone of 'em that ever knew me know what I think.

Protests were filed with both Mr. Rogers and the sponsors of the program on which he makes his weekly appearance.

So often members of the other race seek to "explain" themselves when they are accused of racial feeling, and contend that there is no animosity whatever where their relationship with the Negro is concerned. Mr. Rogers expresses surprise that his colored listeners did not accept his use of the word "nigger" as "a compliment to the great musical traits of your race." We might ask if Mr. Rogers, blasphemed in the language of the street, could be expected to consider the deed a tribute to the liberal-mindedness of his forbears. Has Mr. Rogers ever tried giving fire-crackers or valentines as presents at Christmas?

Suggests Amending Economy Act in Regards to Pensions for Vets To the Editor: I believe where a veteran became disabled in World War service, and where there is a record of his disability or disabilities on his record, or discharge, regardless of it being aggravated by military service, or incurred in line of duty, or not, should be the only ones at this time that the Federal government should give a pension to as long as the veteran became disabled in the service, and he still has the same disability or disabilities. Thousands of veterans who have been discharged after the World War with no disability or disabilities of record have been successful in being kept on the pension rolls, just simply because they were able to get one or more affidavits about their condition after discharge to cover certain periods in their cases. They didn't have to prove that their disability or disabilities were incurred in the service in line of duty or not, or aggravated by their war service, while on the other hand hundreds who have been discharged with a disability or disabilities, or of record, caused by the service, or not, have been removed from the pension rolls, simply because, after years they are unable to prove in certain instances that their condition has been aggravated by the service. Besides, it is very hard after years for these classes of men to get hold of people that knew of their condition while in the service. J. H. JEWES.

To the Editor: From the press comments there is no doubt that every intelligent person who followed the Crawford case was impressed with the brilliant and diplomatic manner in which the attorney for the defense conducted the trial. Every since the trial I have been thinking of the possibility of planning a project of action for our people which would prove to Dean Houston that we are willing to do our part in obtaining the goal which he has so definitely set for us. Every one realizes that sound thought and conscientious action are criteria to success in any undertaking. The realization of this fact is just one-third of the battle; the most important phase is the moulding of such ideas into concrete facts. Why not erect a school of law in honor of Dean Heuston, and for men with brilliant minds? There are many such students in the Howard Law School today. They have the mental qualifications of becoming superb lawyers but financial circumstances hamper their progress.

Is it possible that one with such reputed THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1934 The white man is beginning to shift the burden from the shoulders of the Negro and place it where it belongs—upon his own. The late Mr. Dooley used to say that the trouble with the Negro is that he is too casily lynched. To paraphrase Mr. Douglas's expression: "The race that is lynched casiest is lynched oftenerest." The Negro being the most frequent victim of mob violence makes the greatest outcry against the barbarity and iniquity of it. The late Mr. Dooley used to say that the trouble with the Negro is that he is too casily lynched. To paraphrase Mr. Douglass's expression: "The race that is lynched easiest is lynched oftener." The Negro being the most frequent victim of mob violence makes the greatest outcry against the barbarity and iniquity of it. The man who feels the wound will utter the groan. But on thoughtful analysis, it readily appears that the white man is the greater sufferer from the mob malady, albeit the Negro bears the heaviest brunt of affliction. The reactionary effect of the rabies of race hatred which prompts lynching is well described by the poet Goldsmith in his well known lines on A Mad Dog: "This dog and man at first were friends But when a pique began. The dog to gain some private ends Went mad and bit the man. The wound it was both sore and sad To every Christian eve. And while they swore the dog was mad, they swore the man would die. But soon a wonder came to light. Which showed the rogues they lied, The man recovered from the bite; The dog it was that died." The victim in the long run suffers less damage than the doer of an evil deed. The white man is in charge of the machinery of government and is responsible to the judgment and conscience of the world for the maintenance of law and order. America is the most murderous and blood-thirsty nation on the face of the earth which lays claim to civilization. Its reputation is tarnished and its fair name stigmatized by the prevalence of these barbarous and inhuman practices. America at one time sought to pose as the moral monitor over the conscience and character of the conduct of other nations, but her hands, reddened by the blood of thousands of helpless victims who have perished without the law estop her from such high presumption. Germany which we would like to outlaw by reason of her barbarity against the Jews huns is no such thing as the lynching, mutilation back the swift confounding rejoinder: "There and burning of human beings in Germany such as abound in your country." White America can only hang her disgraced head in shame. There have been fifteen hundred white victims of the mob during the past fifty years. White men—even white women, have been burned at stake. The recent lynching and burning of two white men at San Jose, California, was as atrocious and horrible as any occurrence in the whole red record of lynching. If not a single Negro had been lynched during the past half century the white victims alone were sufficient to make imperative drastic anti-lynching provision. It is some times boasted that this is a white man's civilization. If so the whites had better be looking after it lest it be destroyed by the continuance of these barbarites. Hitherto efforts to this effect have been inspired mainly by the Negroes and the well meaning whites as if they were acting altruistically in behalf of the suffering race. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was sponsored chiefly by Negroes and was defended and defeated chiefly because it was looked upon as a Negro measure. On the other hand it should be the highest concern of American statesmanship to blot out this stigma from the nation's escutcheon and vindicate its fair name in the eyes of the world. Material recovery upon which the energies of the nation are now focussing are certainly not of greater importance or consequence than moral recovery without which material prosperity can be of enduring value. It is as reprehensible to condone rape or kidnapping in order to condemn lynching as it is to condone lynching in order to condone the real or alleged cause which evokes it. The rapist has no race, the criminal no color. The crime of the mob is no remedy for the crime of the man, however heinous or atrocious that crime may be. The most hopeful sign above the horizon is that the white race is beginning to relieve the Negro of the sponsorship and proprietorship of this greatest of all moral reforms. The white women of the South are leading the way. They constitute the element in whose behalf the iniquitous practice is resorted to, but have magnanimously and heroically discarded the inefficacy of the drastic remedy and repudiated the genuineness of the motive behind it. President Roosevelt, using the moral authority of his high office, has appealed for the mobilization of the conscience of the nation to roll away this national reproach. Under such leadership and sponsorship, backed up by those who suffer most, it cannot fail to produce the desired result. The victim in the long run suffers less damage than the doer of an evil deed. The white man is in charge of the machinery of government and is responsible to the judgment and conscience of the world for the maintenance of law and order. America is the most murderous and blood-thirsty nation on the face of the earth which lays claim to civilization. Its reputation is tarnished and its fair name stigmatized by the prevalence of these barbarous and inhuman practices. America at one time sought to pose as the moral monitor over the conscience and character of the conduct of other nations, but her hands, reddened by the blood of thousands of helpless victims who have perished without the law estop her from such high presumption.

The recent lynching and burning of two white men at San Jose, California, was as atrocious and horrible as any occurrence in the whole red record of lynching. If not a single Negro had been lynched during the past half century the white victims alone would be sufficient to make imperative drastic anti-lynching provision. It is some times boasted that this is a white man's civilization. If so the whites had better be looking after it lest it be destroyed by the continuance of these barbaries. Hitherto efforts to this effect have been inspired mainly by the Negroes and the well meaning whites as if they were acting altruistically in behalf of the suffering race. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was sponsored chiefly by Negroes and was defended and defeated chiefly because it was looked upon as a Negro measure. On the other hand it should be the highest concern of American statesmanship to blot out this stigma from the nation's escutcheon and vindicate its fair name in the eyes of the world. Material recovery upon which the energies of the nation are now focussing are certainly not of greater importance or consequence than moral recovery without which material prosperity can be of enduring value. It is as reprehensible to condone rape or kidnapping in order to condemn lynching as it is to condone lynching in order to condone the real or alleged cause which evokes it. The rapist has no race, the criminal no color. The crime of the mob is no remedy for the crime of the man, however heinous or atrocious that crime may be. The most hopeful sign above the horizon is that the white race is beginning to relieve the Negro of the sponsorship and proprietorship of this greatest of all moral reforms. The white women of the South are leading the way. They constitute the element in whose behalf the iniquitous practice is resorted to, but have magnanimously and heroically discarded the inefficacy of the drastic remedy and repudiated the genuineness of the motive behind it. President Roosevelt, using the moral authority of his high office, has appealed for the mobilization of the conscience of the nation to roll away this national reproach. Under such leadership and sponsorship, backed up by those who suffer most, it cannot fall to produce the desired result. The white man is beginning to shift the burden from the shoulders of the Negro and place it where it belongs—upon his own. reputation should attempt to advise the Washington public what is best for them in the manner of a privilege? Such undertaking looks like a pure case of presumption on the part of Professor Thomas, when he contends for the dispensary system as a means of liquor distribution here. Without the consent of such a proposition represents a bias and selfish idea, which if put into effect would certainly cause the measure to fall short of its purpose, which was to furnish the means of bringing about the economic recovery through general aid of the people, and Professor Thomas's idea of a dispensary in the District would not do this, and I think he places himself in a false light when he attempts to throttle the true will of its citizens. reputation should attempt to advise the Washington public what is best for them in the manner of a privilege?

E. HOFFMAN. Differentiation in Education with Respect to Races BY CARTER G. WOODSON. Differentiation in Education with Respect to Races BY CARTER G. WOODSON. of Washington D.C. Editor of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in Education: Eduction of the Negro," and "The Negro Professional." hasten the process of extermination by sterilization as devised by Hitler for his undesirables. The propagation of this particular species would thus be brought to an end by an apparently humane method which is so much more effective than birth control, and what is now being spent to educate and elevate Negroes could be profitably used to keep alive those left to read their doom in the setting sun. Our race, then, should be congratulated, at least, for making others think, although the process does not have that effect on us. If we ever learn to think we shall have our own program of education. In the first place, I would teach the Negro child. I say child because there is little or no hope for the Negroes who are beyond thirty. They have been so developed as to continue content with the incidents of slavery and the badges of inferiority. Negroes of this faith cannot be expected to do any more than to underestimate and destroy the teachers of their schools, the pastors of their churches, the professional men around them, and the business men in their communities. The goal of their lives will be to connect themselves, with others in exclusive circles; and, if they finally penetrate such spheres only to find that they are not desirable, they will sour on life and become stumbling blocks to progress. I would begin with the Negro child himself and then take up his environment as an index to his activities. This is the natural order for all education. If conditions around the Negro child are undesirable or even intolerable I would not try to hide these things from him. I would inform him accordingly just as soon as he developed the power to see and observe things for himself. I would try to show wherein these conditions have resulted from unbound policies and unwise methods; and I would endeavor to stimulate in him the ambition to do something concrete to correct the evils which surround him. I would teach him history, the great stimulus in the present and monitor 'o the future. Out of it this child must learn that present day conditions now afflicting the Neck are not worse than similar difficulties which have handicapped other peoples who since that day have extricated themselves therefrom and have made a deep impression upon their time. I would teach this Negro child that he is black, but comely, black and beautiful, and even beautifully black! While others on the street, through the press, and on the rostrum are trying to make him accept his color as a mark of inferiority I would show by the achievements of his forebears that they measured up in their glorious record to the level of the greatest peoples of the world. I would deliberately teach the Negro child the falsity of the doctrines which have prevented the clear thinking of peoples of today. I would sound the keynote of hope i the African proverb. "Lies however numerous will be caught by truth when it rises up." I would say to the Negro child as does the African, "Know thyself better than he who speaks to thee. Not to know is bad, not to wish to know is wors." For the literature of the Teutons I would find a parallel in the rich treasures in the lore of the African. I would place the African words of wisdom in the class with those of the Greek philosopher, I would classify Es-Sadi with Homer, Antar with Shakespeare, Askis with Julius Caesar, and Askis the Great with Augustus. In short, I would inspire the Negro rather, than crunch in him 'the bud of genius by a so-called "education." "What Shall We Drink?" is subtitle "Popular Dinks, Recipes, and Toasts," and will be published shortly by Carlyle House, New York. "Race, Class and Party," by Paul Lewinson, which was published in March by the Oxford University Press, 114 Fifth Avenue, New York has been one of their best sellers. Think It Over BEATRICE M. MURPHY Dear Mary: So you have crossed the line! The great day which you have awaited so long is here and you are a woman. Probably you are rather disappointed that you do not feel a bit different than you did yesterday; for you see, growth is not the crossing of a narrow line, but rather the gradual immersion of one day's experience into I learn that the "great leaders of thought" are working out a "differentiation" in education with respect to races. I do not believe in any such policy. We should teach the Negro the same way that we teach any other race and essentially the same things that we would teach any other race. We teach the white child about himself and about others in relation to himself. This method is right. However, we teach the Negro child about the white race and about others in relation to the white race. Such approach is wrong. The procedure in the one case should be the same as that in the other. Every element of our population should be taught to develop from within rather than have so much disorganized and unrelated matter poured in from without. The failure to do this in the training of the Negro has made his education largely a failure. I see a danger in "differentiation in education with respect to races," for it carries the idea of a super-imposed program with possibilities of invidious distinctions. This was the original policy in dealing with the Negro in other matters. Some years ago, however, the Negroes had a free-for-all fight among themselves about the kind of education they should have, although they did not actually acquire much of any sort. The whites had never been very much concerned about it; but on becoming interested they accepted one of the views of the two Negro factions and tried to carry it out. Now the whites are doing their own thinking about Negro education. They are setting up Negro educators here and there to do what they want to see carried out. We very readily serve them, for it supplies temporarily relief to the Negro agents thus fattened, although this policy may so far remove the other members of the race from the public trough as to force them into the bread line. This recent thought about the Negro results from his present plight. In this country he has always been a parasite hanging on to the white man upon whom he has lived by doing his drudgery. Now that drudgery has been eliminated by machinery, the white man brushes aside his Negro parasite who must go to the bread line where he is gradually starving. How then should we educate people who are thus doomed? It is useless to teach the Negro the mechanic arts because trades unions have proscribed him in such spheres. It is unwise to train them in business administration because the communists are rapidly destroying capital. It is not necessary to teach the Negro Hebrew unless there is some advantage in knowing how to beg for bread in that language. It is hardly profitable to teach the Negro the culture of the ancients unless in their philosophy he may find some consolation while suffering from the pangs of hunger. It will be useless even to teach the Negro local geography unless it is considered advantageous for him to know that running the bread line in one town will be more profitable than standing in line in another. If Negroes do not need any education at all, teachers of their schools will be unnecessary, as recently argued a man in support of a motion to 'disestablish a Negro State' College; and it failed by only one vote. If Negroes continue to turn atheistic and leave the church because it has substituted the ideals of Hertzog and Hitler for those of Jesus of Nazareth, there will be no need for Negro preachers. In the other higher spheres the numbers are considered so small that Negroes thus occupied may be easily dispensed with. Since the Negro has actually become worthless to the white lords in the machine age some have inquired as to why they should not Let Us Read-- By C. LESLIE FF.AZIER A first printing of 5000 copies—unusual in these times—is on the press at this moment for the first complete book on drinking that has appeared since Repeal. The book treats of mixed drinks, wines, beer, liqueur and cordial recipes, toasts, and the medicinal value of liquors—subjects which have previously been mentioned only in separate volumes. Magnus Bredenbek, the author, is one of the best known newspaper editors in America, having served for the past 35 years in important capacities. At present he is a Sunday editor of the Newark Ledger. For eight years he was Sunday editor of the New York American; he was also associated with King Features, the great syndicate outlet, and with the advertising department of the Forum. Mr. Bredenbek's book is called SPECIAL FEATURES This Week NEEDED: A NEGRO DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON— Negroes are Spending Thousands of Dollars Each Year for White Dailies that Print Little or No News About Them. So you haven't heard of a Negro daily paper? Probably you haven't. Many of our folks do not read Negro history. Well, a Negro daily paper is nothing new, although we only have one at present in the entire United States. But as early as 1892 a Negro daily paper known as "The Daily Crusader" was published in New Orleans, La, by Mr. L. A. Martinet, a colored man. This paper constituted eight pages of printed matter, including advertisements; and despite the fact that the majority of the Negro population of Louisiana was illiterate, the paper managed to operate for several years. Today, Atlanta, Ga., is the only city to boast of a Negro daily. One alibi offered for the lack of more Negro dailies is that there is not enough Negro news to keep a Negro daily on the street, and because of the want of Negro daily news agencies throughout the country. (That point carries some weight.) News is happening every day, only no one collects it because there is no market for it. A_SURPRISING DISCOVERY A friend of mine, a few months ago made a discovery that may interest you as well as surprise you. He subscribed, for a period of one month, to every daily paper published in Washington. Each day he clipped f om those daily papers all news about Negroes—murders, robberies, church news, social news, and educational news. At the end of thirty days he found that all the clippings placed together did not constitute one full page of printed matter. What does this reveal? Simply this, that the Colored people of Washington are spending thousands of dollars each year for white dailies that print little or no news about them. Whenever that littl is printed, ninety per cent of it is of degrading nature—robberies, murders, etc. This burning question arises: Why do Negroes read the white ladies? Surely, the answer is not that they wish to read about themselves. The only logical conclusion, it seems, is that they read the daily papers to keep abreast with the times. National and international news interests them. The Negro Federal employees are as interested in news concerning the government pay cuts as any of the white government employees. The Colored general public was as anxious to know, as any other reader, of the earthquake in California, the war in China, the attempt to assassinate President Roosevelt and of the War in South America. The Negro baseball fan reads the daily papers to learn about the outcome of his favorite baseball club, and quite naturally he is as enthused over the home runs hit by Babe Ruth as any other man. He automatically forgets all race differences in following the sport he loves. The Afro-Americans are reading the white dailies with the dignity of citizens and not as Negroes. News is news to them as long as humanity is envolved. I said that in order to say this: There is no longer such a thing as "Negro news" or "white news" in white papers. He can read it in Negro-owned publications. With a population of 132,000 Negroes in this city there is no excuse for not having a daily paper owned and printed by Colored people. The city is an ideal place for news, owing to the many government departments Congress, courts and educational institutions located here. A number of trained reporters could furnish any wide-awake publisher with all the news he wants for a daily paper. A daily newspaper, published by Colored people, would be one of the greatest encouragements to the Negro youths who are now studying journalism in our high schools. They could, then, look forward to a future field of employment that is truly fascinating. whatever the next might bring. I know you've planned and dreamed for this day. You've often told yourself and your friends just what you were going to do when you became a woman. Don't let the world take away your dreams. They are the stones on which everything is built. They are the plans upon which lives are erected. Nothing in the world was ever accomplished that did not originate in a dream. They are not shadowy imaginings. You can make them as real and as practical as your grit and determination. Of course no one but yourself will ever take them seriously. They might be terrible responsibilities to you—sort of promises you have made to yourself—but the world will only appreciate and understand them when they have become Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S BIRTHDAY For four years I have been writing this column for the colored press regularly each week. I have, quite proudly, seen its popularity grow until it was... etaoishrdlu grow, until it was read by readers from coast to coast and from the Gulf to the Great Lakes, and while at various times I have written upon every conceivable subject that I thought was timely or that was foremost in the minds of the people, but never have I written on a subject in which I am so glad to add my written mite to a man and to a character as I do on this occasion. At this writing I am not thinking of President Roosevelt as a good Democrat, or as a partisan of any kind, I am thinking of him as a man who, to my way of thinking and my limited observation, has discarded politics and has assumed and exercised the perogatives of the president's office as no other president ever has. We have heard of "war-time" presidents but no president ever took his seat in the midst of such a war as did President Roosevelt. Not a war of bullets or of blood but a war of strife, economics and strangulation. Within twenty-four hours after the President took his office he commenced acting with such a degree of independence as no other president ever had the necessity for doing, and the president's every action since then has been dumbfounding to those minds who were controlled or used to seeing the country controlled by those "interests" that gobbled up everything in the country and had private industry and the country at large on the very verge of bankruptcy. In some circles it has been said that President Roosevelt will be our last president. And in many ways indications point to this as a coming fact. Should his policies fail to save the nation it is hardly likely that the temperament of the people will permit of a regularly elected chief executive. And should the President's policies carry us to success the people, regardless of politics, will be so thankful, and the President's policies will be so intertwined that only the president can serve as pilot to continue the engine on its course. And if a repetition of this choice as chief engineer changes the form of our government from a democracy to one more monarchy designed the people will be so much better off that they will not care to return to a democratic form of government that is democratic in name and "iron-ruled" in fact by a handful of selfish and unscrupulous financiers. And when our economic situation has been adjusted just in proportion will our color problem vanish, since it existed only because of the desires of some to keep others in bonlage, originally (and financially tolerated) for economic reasons only. Before this release appears in print, the President, through his suggestions to Congress, may have won an economic battle that would entitle him to the kind thoughts and praises from every citizen in the country, white or black, except probably those financiers who are controlling things economically and will hate to see their control slip from their fingers to those of the government—where it belongs. Considering the influential and powerful opponents of the President's policies it is indeed fitting that as a birthday greeting to the President that nation-wide prayermeetings are to be held for the President on his birthday for he certainly needs the prayers of Him who is able to succeed over the efforts of greedy and selfish humans. grown practical realities. You are axious to lay aside—with your dolls and your child hood—aall of your joyous, youthful spirit. You will be criticized if you do not. But I say to you, hold fast to your youth. You will need your joyous spirit, your frank outlook on life and your youthful outlook on life, and your youthful enthusiasm to help you through the days to come. For you will find that life is not real nor is it earnest. It is a passing carnival in which all of us find ourselves for awhile. Life is the Garden of Eden before sin came into it. Man is the cardinal sin and biggest mistake of the Creator. You Pay. I pay. All of us pay. Not for sins which we have committed but because we are men-mistakes-slips of the Creator's pen. Life is a topsy-turvy affair where what should be is not and what should not be is. The world will either make you or break you. One thing alone is certain you will never be the same fresh, eager creature that you are today. For age imposes responsibility. As one writer puts it, "Be before you have finished, the world will do to you of three things: it will make your heart very sift, very hard, or else break it. No one escapes?" BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Judge Cobb Testimonial To Draw Large Turnout By VIVIAN T. TURNER On last Friday evening taxicabs were hurrying here and there, silks were rustling, tuxedos were donned, sequins were dazzling under fur jackets and evening wraps as the younger social set of the Capital City made their way to the Colonade to the swanky dance of the popular Chesterfield club. This affair was the main attraction of the week, and proved quite enjoy-able. Saturday evening brought many visitors to town, when the Lincoln basketball team played Howard. The game was played in the Howard University gymnasium and drew quite a large crowd of spectators. Monday evening, last, also was the occasion of a great game between Morgan and Howard. This, needless to say, was a fast, worthwhile game with the auditorium packed to capacity with lovers of this sport. After the game many private parties were given for the visitors. Social Washington will turn out in full on next Friday evening to the banquet and testimonial for Judge James E. Cobb at the Whitelaw Hotel by the members of the District Bar Association, if all reports are true. Judge Cobb is well known and liked here in the District and as his term of office is about to expire and it is not definitly known whether he will or will not remain in office, his friends and associates feel that this honor due him for the wonderful service he has rendered here in the District. On account of Congressman Oscar DePriest's out-of-town business engagement, it was thought that he and Mrs. DePriest would not be able to attend the reception at the White House on last Friday evening which President and Mrs. Roosevelt gave for the Congressmen, their wives and friends. However, though arriving in town at the last minute, Congressman and Mrs. DePriest found it convenient to attend the reception and spent a most enjoyable evening. Invitations have been issued for the rather ultra and swanky informal dance to be given by Mesdames Thelma Ackiss and Vivian Lane on Saturday evening, January 27.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 25. 1934 PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men Not only is the Washington Bar Association pulling for you, Judge Cobb, but all the little would-be, but never-quite-could-be lawyers, (like myself) with whom you spent so much tedious time trying to explain the "when" and "whys" and "wherefores" of "Negotiable Instruments." The Mu-So-Lit Club (numbering among its personnel men high in the City's esteem) is with you too. And so is the New Orleans University Club, that little "Back Home" group whose stock went up a hundred-fold when you cast your lot with them a year or so, ago. But why enumerate organizations of every kind here, and friends (many of them) almost everywhere; New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and—well in any old place that is a place you—Judge Cobb, will find a friend. There are the smart hostesses too, whose pretty dinners or luncheons or dances have all had an added bit of interest because of your presence. And even the fond mothers (with darling daughters) whose homes you have been too busy to enter, even they are singing your praises. To tell the truth, we are all wishing for you another term, and still another. In other words, as long as you are the "good judge that you is," here's hoping that you stay. *** As important as Mrs. Lillian Malone, of Adams Street is to the City School System she is was even more important than that to a certain sorority a Saturday or so ago. It happened this way. A very urgent business meeting was scheduled for that particular evening but inclement weather, holiday-hangovers, and the presence of an extraordinary show in town, cut the attendance terrifically. Couldn't even count a "quorum" among those present. So what did the clever hostess do but telephone Mrs. Malone and say that "sink or swim; survive or perish" one other member just had to be present at the meetings and since she was only a few blocks away, wouldn't she please drop everything and run right over? Mrs. Malone did, and so saved the situation. But it was only a matter of minutes before "Lillian" had proved that she was a "quorum" all by herself (now really, have you ever seen a more versatile little lady?) and as far as the rest of us were concerned we could have called for hats and coats and gone right home (and probably wouldn't have been missed at all. But did we? We didn't. For already the appetizing aroma of delicious things to eat was filling the atmosphere; and if you've ever been a guest in the Letner home (it was not other than the popular Dora who happened to be the hostess) you know that, of the dainary food she serves, one whiff is enough to make you wait till morning for, and that's almost exactly what we did. **** Seen leaving a fashionable church recently and looking very chi indeed in a fluffy fur-trimmed coat and one of the new flat-topped hats, was Mrs. Alphonso Harris, wife of Dr. Harris, chief of a section in one of the Government Departments. Among Washington's hostesses (the strictly informal ones I mean) charming than Mrs. E. T. Hawkins, 127 S Street, Northwest (Bonita to most people). Never anything elaborate. Indeed, this dear lady is the soul of simplicity herself, (maybe that's why you and I like her so well). At any rate, you "drop in," somebody else "drops in," she calls in a neighbor or two (and the nice thing is that these same neighbors never say "No." no matter what other plans they may have). Then a game of cards, an otherwise social hour, and a cup of tea plus a piece of cake (unless per chance, her husband's aunt who is a mistress of things cuisine is there) when she'll serve a lot of "pigs in blankets," beaten biscuits, a swanky salad or some other dainty dish. But, as well-loved as Bonita is, she is not the only drawing-card in that home. There's the "Captain" for instance. A witty fellow is he and a clever one. He could tell you a let about his stay in Africa with the late Colonel Young, but he won't. He'd rather say interesting things about you, or maybe about me (that is, if he could think of anything like that to say about me) than about himself. Anyhow, if you keep your eyes open when you visit that home you will see all kinds of quaint little tokens from the "And that our forefathers knew." And they were all tucked in Captain Hawkin's trunks when he left the "Land of the Nile" and came back to the U.S.A. Petite Mrs. James Rabbe, 2008 Seventeenth Street, was a charming picture the other day in a green dress with ever so modernistic jewelry adorning her slim little neck and her pink-tipped ears. Saw Mr. and Mrs. Theus Smith, 1915 Third Street, Northwest, at a fashionable gathering last week. And a good-looking couple they are too. Now aren't they? Speaking of the Smiths, have you ever been lucky enough to be shown thru their pretty home? No? Then if you ever get an invitation, don't hesitate, but grab your coat and hat and rush on over; and when you leave, if you haven't learned a lot about what a lovely place to live in looks like, well—but you will. When it comes to homes these "Smiths" are too just-right for anything, anyway. There's Mr. Smith's daughter, for instance, bewitching Mrs. Braden who lives in New Orleans, La. Word comes from the City on the "Old Mississippi" that the popular "Bradens" have one of the best-looking homes in the big "Croecie Town." And that's saying a great deal, especially when you think of the "Dejoie" home and the "Perkins" Place and the—well it's saying a lot anyway. You'll have to look a long time (and you'll probably look in vain at that) to find four more cunning bits of masculinity than the Labat boys, children of Mr. and Mrs. Fabian Labat, of 2202 Flagler Place. One of the prettiest sights at the recent W.Y.C.A. Revue was Miss Marie Dixson, berruffed and sweet, dancing divinely on her trim little toes. With her rich coloring and a gay pair of carrings to add to it, who could possibly look better in black than love Mrs. Ruth Serugga, wife EMPLOYED WOMAN STUDENT HOUSEWIFE IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO THE WOMAN WHO COOKS Just as good cooking is essential to health and happiness in the home, so is a healthy scalp, well kept hair, a lovely, soft, smooth skin essential to a pleasing personality and attractive appearance.

SUPERIOR CLUB Among representatives of various clubs called together, Friday, at a formal reception by Alonzo Collins, manager of the Crystal Catern, in order to develop closer relationships were: Daniel Parker, Lewis Presley, and James Dent, of the Superior Club. The club is composed of a group of young men popular in the school set. Tommy Myles furnished music for the NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD Ware's Field Goal Margin of Win Over Defending C.I.A.A. Champs Blue and White Forward Cages Sensational Shot to Break Deadlock of Last Two Minutes; Crowds Crash Through Door to Await Start of Game A crowd of more than 2,000 persons, th e advance guard of which broke down a door two and a half hours before game time, jammed the Howard University gymnasium Monday night, to watch the Bisons down the Morgan College Bears in one of the most thrilling games in which these two bitter rivals have engaged in many years. It was a one-handed shot by Joe (Showboy) Ware, star of the gridiron and hardwood, that put the finishing touches on a defeat the Baltimoreans had fought nobly in an effort to stave off. The scoreboards showed Howard on the long end of a 26-24 score as the final gong sounded. The C.I.A.A. champions played superb basketball to regain a menacing position after the Bisons had negotiated a decisive 18-10 lead after the first 20 minutes of play. Pulling themselves together at a time when the local, cheering section was ready to accept a concession from the visitors, the Oranges and Blue fought a splendid uphill battle to move into a tie, 24-all, with 2 minutes of play remaining. It was at this point that Ware took a pass from Wynne, dribbed in towards the center of the court and tossed a high-arched looper that swished the cords with the same amount of space between the ball and the rim all around. Little more than sixty seconds later a wildly excited crowd poured onto the floor from every conceivable nook and corner to do homage to their conquering heroes. Ware and Wynne were raised to the shoulders of admiring rooters, and hundreds of boys and girls sought to get their hands, individually, on the pair which had succeeded in avenging a previous 29-25 defeat at the hands of the Monumental City crew. It was purely through the efforts of McArthur and Reid, the two starting Bison guards, that Conch Burr's cohorts were able to pile up such an early lead. The former, only recently proving himself to be of first string calibre, netted four field goats and a free throw before being forced out on four personal fouls. During his stay, McArthur was a tower of strength both on offense and defense for the Blue and White. Reid, likewise proved to be a thorn in the side for the visiting aggregation. His scoring efforts were equally as effective as were McArthur's, and his usually reliable defensive game did not suffer from the part he played in the Bison attack. Morgan did not seriously threaten the Howard lead until after McArthur had been disqualified. Before Tom Walker, his relief, could get warmed up to the battle, Conrad, who had been held to a single field goal during the first half, broke away for a quartet of double-deckers. These combined with a pair of tosses by Troupe brought the invaders up to even terms for the first time since the opening whistle. A time-out was called by the fast-tiring Pinn, Howard captain, and a check-up on the score and time left to play was made by both floor leaders. For a full 45 seconds after the toss-up on resumption of play, the two teams battled for possession of the ball. Numerous interceptions found their way into this brief space of time, until Wynne snatched the ball from a mid-court scrimmage, flipped it to Ware near the side-line, and the latter heaved his long-to-be-remembered twin-counter. The victory marked the third for Howard and the first defeat for Morgan in the C.I.A.A. 1934 schedule. It also moved these two teams and Lincoln into a three-cornered tie for the lead. Lincoln's first defeat of the conference season was suffered at the hands of Howard. Saturday. COMMERCIAL LOOP ORGANIZED AT Y COMMERCIAL LOOP ORGANIZED AT Y With four teams making up the circuit, the Commercial League organized by the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. is in full swing.

Interpretations Meet Proves Interesting More than a hundred collegiate, high school and independent basketball players and managers were in attendance at the Howard University Gymnasium as the annual rules interpretations meeting and demonstration games were held under the auspices of the Eastern Board of Officials, last Thursday night. The purpose of the meeting was to clarify, properly interpret and correctly enforce the more confusing problems encouched in the 1934 court rules. The entire group of players, coaches and officials displayed keen interest. Teams participating in games were: Howard, Miner College, Dunbar, Armstrong, and Cardozo high schools, and the Government Printing Office. Officials aiding in the work were: Westmoreland, Cupid, Young Burr, Martin, Lacy, Trigg, Henderson, Pinderhughes, Jacobs, Larry, Pettie and others. CARDOZO WINNER OVER PHELPS The combination of Marshall and Tobias proved too much of a problem for the Phelps Vocational School Five to solve, and as a result Jack Young's Cardozo High School quintet emerged on the better end of a 26-12 decision, in the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School gymnasium, Friday afternoon. The pair collaborated in the victory, Marshall caging five field goals and a foul throw to lead both teams in scoring and account for nearly as many as the entire Phelps outfit could muster, and Tobias playing stellar defensive ball to thwart the scoring efforts of Leo Wilson's aggregation. Junior Blue and White Varsity Beaten by Clerks A stubborn Howard University Junior Varsity quintet fell before the superior shooting of Jack Young's Cardozo High School basketball team in the preliminary game to the Howard-Morgan clash on the Howard University floor, on Monday night. Marshall and Robinson, with 11 and 10 points respectively, led the Purple and White to its well-carned 29-24 victory. Generals Win in Sterllng Second Half Play Behind 16-12, as the first half ended, the Armstrong Technical High School floormen waged a sensational unhill fight to hold the Howard University Junior Varsity scoreless in the second period and walk off with a 29-16 verdict, in the preliminary to the Howard-Lincoln game, Saturday night. Coach Westmoreland's Orange and Blue tossers played listless basketball to fall behind as the opening period drew near its close. But a verbal shake-up on the part of their mentor pulled them together for a second half that was one-sided from start to finish. Community Center Outfit Defeats Dunbar Five Coach P. L. Jacobs's Dunbair High School Poets suffered their second season los when a fast goin going Dunbair Community Center basketball team romped off with a 37-14 decision on the Dunbair floor, Monday. Wormley and Brown, with 22 points between them, el dhe scoring for both teams. This pair of Community Center stars counted 12 and 10 points respectively. Captain Boot Williams's 5 points proved best offensively for the losers. Armstrong Niters Seek Revenge on Church 5 On Friday, the Armstring night school plays Union Wesley against the only team that has defeated Jimmie Lee's boys this season The Churchmen defeated the Night School team 25-19 and the Techites are out for revenge.

WISSAHICKON FIVE TROUNCED BY Y QUINT WISSAHICKON FIVE TROUNCED BY Y QUINT Germantown, Pa. Aggregation no Match for Local Floor Team With Slim Thomas, Ev Jeffries and Jelly Jackson going on a scoring rampage, the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. basketball team literally tore asunder the highly-touted Wissahickon Speed Marvels of Germantown, Pa., on the local court, last Sathday night. The visitors were smothered under a 51-27 final score. Fifteen of 22 field goals amassed by the Y lads were accounted for yb this trio of tossers which seemed wont to take no for an answer as they tossed basketward. Thomas. Jeffries and Jackson garnered 6, 5 and 5 two-pointers in respective order. The defensive play of Adams and Tibbs was also noteworthy. Ballard's 16 and Powell's 9 points left only a pair of foul throws for the remainder of the crew of invaders to negotiate. They were taken care of by Snyder. Ed Davis and Bill French rounded out the local outfit. Randall Students Show Volley Ball Interest Volley ball is holding the spotlight in the Randall Junior High School intramural program at the present time. Teams representing each section are grouped in three divisions and are known as the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade leagues. Spirited rivalry and much interest is being shown in all leagues. Games are played at recess, guidance periods, and after school. The leading sections in their respective leagues follow: in the ninth grades, sections 9-5 and 9-2; in the eighth, sections 8-7 and 8-2; and in the seventh, sections 7-3 and 7-8. Francis Junior Hi Girls Play Volley Ball The girls in the physical education department at Francis Junior High School have organized twenty-four teams for an intramural volley ball series. The games are played three days a week at three-fifteen o'clock. To date the 9B-3 Orange and Blue team defeated the 9A1 Red and Black; the 9A-3 Yellows defeated 9A-2 Purple and Whites; 8A-4 Orange and Blacks won over 8A-2 Blue and Whites; 8A-3 Blues defeated 8B-1 Red; 8A-3 Oranges defeated 8A-3 Greens; and 9B1-3 Yellow and Green team won over 9A-5. Girls' Team Organized at Cardozo High School Girls are becoming interested in basketball at the Cardozo High School, and a team has been organized with Miss J. E. Mustapha at its head. It is the plan of this team to play the women faculty members of the school; however, a date has not been set as yet. With such players as Eugenia Valentine, Alma Prince, Catherine Gaines and Gwendolyn Delaney, the Coeds will probably emerge the victor 'n the first feminine basketball game ever held in the school. But the experience of which the teachers boast cannot be overlooked; so with this point as odds, the victory will be a hard earned one District Boy Helps Clark Down Tuskegee Tigers TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. In the second of a brace of basketball games with Tuskegee Institute Clark University of Atlanta defeated the Golden Tigers, 36 to 31, in Logan Gymnasium here Monday afternoon. The Clark cagers, led by their brilliant Donald Reeves, and aided by Pete Tate, Washington, D.C. boy, displayed a fine attack.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JANUARY 25. 1934 LIONS DEFEATED BY SUPERIOR HOWARD FIVE Bison Freshman Leads in Win Over Traditional Rivals; Pree Stars Exhibiting better balance and superior all-round team-play, the Howard University Bisons took the measure of their traditional Lincoln University rivals, in their first game of an annual court series, on the Blue and White floor, Saturday. Led by their freshman star, Willie Wynne, the locals made off with the better part of a 33-28 count. Five floor toes for a total of 10 points put the former Brooklyn, N.Y., high school star on the top end of the individual scoring. Together with his uncanny shooting, Wynne brought the crowd to its feet on numerous occasions with his colorful dribbling antics and deceptive passing. Ever present in the Bison offense was Showboat Ware, Wynne's running mate. Although the crack forward was unable to garner more than a single two-pointed and three fouls for a total of 5 points, his floor work was outstanding and of material aid to the Burw forces. Captain Bus Bergen and Bricktop Wright, two of the best individual performers ever to grace Lion uniforms, kept their team in the running throughout, and it was not until an injury forced the retirement of the former that the Bisons were able to forge ahead never to be overhauar. Martin Pree, former Dunbar High School star, tied with Durant for visiting scoring honors. He counted only one floor heave, but his five successful charity tosses brought hi total to 7 points. FORMER TECH BOY STARS AS UNION STOPS HAMPTON Edgar Lee Counts 11 Points in Panthers' Win Over Pirates RICHMOND, Va—Amid an unroar of approval from several hundred rabid fans, Edgar Lee, former all-round star at the Washington, D.C., Armstrong Technical High School, led the Union University Panthers to their second successive cage win over the Hampton Institute quintet, at the Community gym, here, Friday night. The game, a thriller from start to finish, ended with the Richmonders on the long end of a 31-29 decision. Both teams started fast, Hampton breaking the ice, with Union pulling into a 4-3 lead in the first five minutes. After the customary lull before the battle Hampton took a three-point lead which was held throughout the first period. Lancaster, Carter and Hooker hit their stride and offset the sterling play of Davenport, F. Lee and Whitaker. Both teams played a clean game, and pulled the strings neatly from all angles. Hampton led at half time, 17-14. Wissahickon Outfit Beaten 56-36 by Morgan BALETIMORE, Md.—On January 19, the Morgan Bears romped to another victory over Philadelphia's basketball menace, the Wissahickon Big Fve at the Albert Auditorium here to the tune of 56-36. During the opening minutes of the game, the visitors lived up to their reputation and held the Morgan aggregation to short leads. Before the first period had advanced many minutes, the Bears fell into their usual form, and, with Troupe leading the attack, the Bears clocked up a lead that remained unthreatened throughout the game. Despite the spectacular long shots of Powell, the Morgan quintet banged away at the basket consistently and managed to hold a 21-16 lead at the end of the first period. Philly Tribune Girls Continue Their Wlnnlng Pace WEST CHESTER, Pa.—Inspired by the large crowd which filled every seat and made standing room a premium.

A frenzied crowd of Crimson and Black followers filed through the exit of the school gymnasium thrilling at the 38-36 triumph achieved by virtue of a one-hand, fall-away shot caged by Lavert Armstrong as the final whistle was sounded. Headed 25-8 at the half, after the invading horde had netted shots from every conceivable angle to run up a 17-point advantage, the Poets re-entered the fray of an almost lost cause. Immediately the combination of Plummer, Armstrong, Fenwick, Williams and Contee began functioning.

With only 1 minute and 55 seconds left to play, Dunbar found herself trailing a 36-33 score. A free-throw caged by Fenwick as play was resumed brought the locals one point closer. Armstrong snatched a tip-off pass from Plummer as the pill was tossed in center. The shot was a beautiful arch tossed from the right side of the backboard. Time was on fleeting wings, but waited long enough for the same youngster. Armstrong, to pull the ball out of a scrimmage, dribble away from the crowd and a determined guard, and flip the sphere, as he was leaning toward the side-line, into the loop. The whistle sounded as the ball descended into the cords, but its blast wast lost as the Dunbar cheering action gave vent to a loud and lusty cry. The time-keeper was required to enter the court to advise the referee of the game's end. POETS DEFEATED BY WILLOW TREE Giving them a dose of medicine similar to that dished by them to the Baltimore Vocational High School, the Willow Tree A.C. came from behind in the closing minutes of play and defeated the Dunbar High School quintet on the latter's court, last Wednesday afternoon. The score was 33-30. The Poets were on the long end of the first half scoring, leaving the floor for the rest period ahead, 18-17. And for a time during the second period, the school boys retained the advantage. The Southwest lads pulled themselves together as the final stage of the game arrived, and forged ahead to snatch the verdict. Varsity "U" Given 22 Va.

Speaking of automobiles in terms of "horse-power" has become commonplace, but since the emphasis of the New Deal is placed on "manpower," perhaps consideration should be given to that new car from this new point of view. Look at any automobile, and no evidence is apparent of even a small fraction of the scores of industries and of the thousands of hands that have contributed to its gleaming beauty and to its thrilling power. There it is... some iron, some steel, some glass, some wood, some rubber, and some paint and either some leather or some cloth for its upholstering.

By JOSEPH B. TREW President.

I say, without exaggeration, that the motor-car dollar is the drive wheel of the United States industrial machine, because when it is spent, it sets in motion the wheels of industry in every state in the Union, and some of its motive power is felt in, particularly every city and hamlet from coast to coast. When it is handed to the automobile dealer, it is a dollar; but by the time it has reach its ultimate destination... I should say 'destinations', it has been reduced over and over again until some P.

The industry which produces automobiles is the world's greatest individual buyer of iron and steel ...using 17% of all steel and 54% of all the iron produced in this country. Translate these figures into terms of man-power in iron mines, coal mines, smelters, blast furnaces, rolling mills as well as in the production of the Chromium, Vanadium and similar-metals, and it is seen how many men work behind the men who actually design and assemble an automobile.

The average car owner would probably be severely put to it to name any part of his shiny new car in which so humble a metal as lead would be very important, because the modern storage battery so seldom calls itself to the owner's attention that it is often neglected. Anyone, however, who has had to lift a battery from a car, will readily believe that it is mostly lead. So much of it is lead, that the mines of Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado and Oklahoma work ten days out of each month to supply the needs of the automotive industry. Likewise, more than 2 days out of every month are needed in Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, Oklahoma and Missouri to provide the zinc that makes up the rest of your battery.

MURPHY IS OPTIMISTIC OF AUTO SHOW Manager of the Washington Trade Association Predicts Sensational Auto Show Attendance. Washington's 14th Annual Auto Show under the auspices of the Washington Automobile Trade Association is destined to see all previous records broken, according to R. J. Murphy, Manager of the local Trade Association. Mr. Murphy bases his prediction on the records of the shows already held...especially on that of the New York Show which saw all previous attendance records broken during the first three days of the show. On the opening day of the New York Show, the crowd was so dense that ticket sales had to be ICHARD (DICK) MURPHY, manager of the Washington Auto- mobile Trade Association. discontinued for several hours... and the day wound up with an increase of 112 per cent in paid admissions over the opening day of the 1933 show. In spite of heavy rains and generally unfavorable weather, admission records continued to fall, until the show wound up with all previous records shattered, and an increase of 63 per cent over the total paid admissions of 1933. Operating Costs Le's According to Mr. Murphy, this astounding record was due to two things...first...the fact that the people who have been holding on to old cars for the past three years, find themselves in a position to buy new models, and are intensely interested in the current models. As a matter of fact, the 1934 models represent so marked an improvement on any previously shown, that they put all of last year's cars into the two-year-old the new stream-lined models which stole the New York Show, and bid fair to capture the interest at the local show.
