DELANEY GETS 100 CARRIERS IN NEW YORK POST PROTEST PARADE Son-in-law of Dr. Scott Appointed to Job by Mayor LaGuardia NEW YORK CITY (CNS)—Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, Fusion Mayor of Greater New York, since January 1, has selected Hubert T. Delaney, a Republican of the Twenty-second Assembly District, attorney-member of the commission on taxes and assessments of New York City.

Dawn Boys, Two Sway at Masonic Alden Garrison to Lead Annual Affair Wh Dawn Boys, Twilight Men, Hold Sway at Masonic Temple Tonight Draw Hundreds of Guests Dawn boys and twilight men will hold sway tonight when members of the third sex will gather at the Masonic Temple for the season's first dance of the Impersonators. The group is led by Alden Garrison, well known Washington youth who has gained a measure of fame as a dancer and stage artist. The affair has been widely advertised and many out-of-town guests are expected to be present. There are a large number of dawn boys and twilight men in the District, but they have been rather reticent about coming out in their true colors in public affairs. Those "gentlemen" of the betwixt and between will hie to the Temple, led by that widely known Alden Garrison and his playmates for the 1934 setting of what is now known as the Impersonators' Ball. The affair has become an annual event, and local "sissies" spend the remainder of the year awaiting the arrival of the night for the fracas. The practice got its origin in Baltimore several years ago, and it became so popular that "fagots" in other cities became jealous of the advertisement Baltimore members of the estate were getting. As a result Philadelphia, Washington and Richmond followed suit. When that is accomplished much mention need be made of the fact, as "pansies" in the Metropolitan area are known to be just a trifle more reserved, and a little less prone to display. The "big city" meets the Judge star of "Drums O' Voodoo," is shown James A.

They are both members of the National Association of Post Office Employees which organization is seeking to establish substitute postal employees in their work under more satisfactory conditions as to hours and personnel. Mr. Inniss and Mr. Stovall, of New York, were the only two colored delegates who were a part of the special delegation of fifteen that interviewed President Roosevelt's secretary. Mr. McIntyre. Of the 600 postal employees in the city approximately 100 were colored coming from all parts of the country. They made a very satisfactory showing in the parade down Pennsylvania Avenue. Nilight Men, Hold the Temple Tonight Members of Third Sex in which is Expected to is full of them, however, make no mistake about that. Gorgeous gowns and fur wrappings will be the vogue at the Tenth and U Streets hall, if any one "ball" of a previous era is to be taken as a criteria. The Garrison creature usually stops the show, and if advance reports mean anything Washington is slated for just that same sort of occasion to night. Dick Hopkins and his Blue Birdies have been inveigled into making the music. Baltimore and its Art Club is an annual institution which draws hundreds each year. Garrison is well known in the Monumental City and is a special attraction at the club's dance. Many professional men and women are patrons of the twilight group and are in sympathy with their mode of living. Washington has been prone to ignore members of the third sex, but they are here by the hundreds, although most of them are not as bold as their members of larger cities.

TO TOLD HE SHOULD BREAK UP HAVE RISEN TO NUMBERS FLOOR OF HOUSE Vol. XIII, No. 40 Plans Wholesale Drive to Wipe Out Gambling Evil Here A drive to stop numbers playing among school children was started this week when Col. Leslie C. Garnett, United States attorney, conferred Tuesday with Major Ernest Brown, superintendent of police, on law enforcement problems. Col. Garnett indicated that he would have a statement to make as soon as his office has some additional facts on the flourishing racket here in the District. Two Arrested The campaign to wipe out numbers was started this week when two white men were arrested in the 3300 block of M Street. They were said to have operated a store as a blind, but made their money by securing numbers bets from school children. The Board of Education recently denied that members of that body had evidence of numbers playing among children. However, it is pointed out that many barber shops and other stores in the vicinity of schools are run as a blind with the main purpose of taking numbers bets. Many of such establishments are on U Street near Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, and other parts of the city in the vicinity of schools. Seventh Street is known to be honey-combed with numbers joints which use women and children runners. So wide open is the game here that runners openly approach persons on the street and solicit patronage. Col. Garnett, who recently assumed office, is determined to crush the evil here and is lining up his forces to begin a wholesale drive of gambling in all forms. BANK DEPOSITORS TO HOLD MEETING All depositors of the Industrial Savings Bank are asked to attend a meeting which is to be held at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, February 6, according to an announcement by the reorganization committee of the bank. W. H. C. Brown, conservator of the bank, said this week that while splendid progress is being made, the committee is desirous of assembling as many depositors as possible in order that all details may be worked out so as to speed the re-opening of the bank. Many depositors have moved and have failed to leave their new addresses with the bank officials. Legislator Promises Show Down on Race Discrimination Shown Secretary Failure of Congressman Oscar DePriest to rise to the floor of the House on a question of personal privilege after his secretary, Morris Lewis, was refused service in the House restaurant, recently, brought down upon him the severe criticism of George Harris, editor of the New York Times, this week. Following the insult to Mr. Lewis the Congressman introduced a resolution asking the appointment of five members of the House to investigate the incident. The measure was referred to the Committee on Rules. Harris incurred the Congressman's ire when the New York paper carried a report of the affair in its last week's issue with the headline, "DePriest Deserts Race." Mr. DePriest wrote Harris a letter under date of January 28, also a statement dated on the same date seeking to correct "wrong inferences." Calls Editor's Hand Said Mr. DePriest in part, "The headline of your paper . . . is either printed from rank ignorance or with vicious intent. I do not know which. If the writer knew anything about the rules of Congress under which we work, which I presume he does not know, he would not print such a headline with the accompanying wrong inference. "Enclosed is copy of a release I have out out which indicates why I have not been able to get the resolution on the floor of Congress at this time. . ." Explains Delay The Congressman's release referred to follows: "I understand the impression has gone out that I am not going to insist upon bringing my resolution to the floor for debate and vote. The rules of the House on an unprivileged resolution require that it go to the Committee on Rules for hearings. That committee can give it a hearing and report it out favorably or unfavorably, or it can pigeon-hole the resolution. "If the committee refuses to act on my resolution, I shall draft a petition to take it from the committee and bring it to the floor for action. This cannot be done until after the resolution has been in the hands of the committee without action for 30 days. I have no intention of letting up in this fight without securing either approval or disapproval of the attitude of the committee on accounts on this matter of race discrimination in the public restaurants and other appurtenances of the House of Representatives." Comes Back at Legislator Apparently the communication was not satisfactory to Editor Harris, for he immediately wrote Mr DePriest. Pointed excerpts of his letter follow: "Our correspondent was informed by the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald-Tribune, January 24, that you had agreed with Speaker Joseph Rainey of the (Continued on page 2) 100 DARNLEY E. HOWARD, assistant professor, mechanical engineering, Howard University, who has just completed the fourth of a series of motor-driven presses designed to push typewriter platens on and off their cores. The firm for which this work was done has headquarters in Chicago, with branches in various other cities. Machines have been constructed for Chicago, San Francisco, London, England, and the latest one, which is a much improved model, is intended for New York. The purpose of the press is to supercede the strenuous manual operation of hammering on the rolls by an easy power operation of pushing them on mechanically and with little or no effort on the part of the operator. In the picture are four students in machine design at Howard. They are George Welch, Nathaniel Wright, Wilton Hines, and Charles Overhall. Professor Howard feels that the field for labor-saving devices and machines is practically unlimited and, surprisingly, one in which comparatively few Negroes are engaged.—A.N.P. Photo. Bloom Promises to Aid DePriest In Fight Against House Jim Crow Morris Lewis and Congressman Eat in Restaurant Despite Former Order of Warren to Bar Negroes from House Grill Representative Sol Bloom, of New York City, has pledged himself to aid Representative Oscar DePriest in the latter's fight to break down the jim crow barrier recently established in the House restaurant.

They were not refused service. WIDOW HAD CWA JOB: FIRED CWA Chiefs Assigned Houses Which Led to Dismissal Apparently for the simple reason that she interviewed three white families in the CWA rant survey, having had no instructions to the contrary, Mrs. Aerusha L. Evans, widow mother of a Dunbar Pigh School senior, was summarily "firel" on Wednesday, at the head- quarters, John Marshal, Place and C Street, Northwest. Mrs. Evans, who lives at 1423 Fifth Street, Northwest, is one of 16 clerical assistants brought here in 1929, when the now defunct National Benefit and Standard Life Insurance companies merged the local office. She lost her position in April of last year and has found it rather a difficult struggle to maintain herself and keep her daughter in high school. However, several weeks ago, she secured employment under the CWA project in the statistical department, in the headquarters. Two weeks ago, Mrs. Evans was transferred to the rent survey being conducted throughout the city. Whites in Assignments As related to a representative of The Tribune, officials place in each employee's envelope, his or her daily assignments. When Mrs. Evans reported for work Tuesday, she found survey tasks assigned to her in the 500 block of N Street, Southwest, as well as some other sections. In making her canvass in the 500 block of N Street, Southwest, the surveyor found three white families. Following what she thought the proper course, in the absence of other instructions, Mrs. Evans interviewed the white families. The cards, upon which her observations were made, were returned to CWA headquarters when she completed work for the day. Called to Task Mrs. Evans reported for work as usual on Wednesday morning but nothing was said. However, when (Continued on page 3) Social Problem Course for Adults to be Offered Beginning Monday, February 12 and extending through Friday, March 16, a period of five weeks, a course in modern social problems, with stress on the economic status of the Negro, will be given at the Cardozo Night High School, Ninth Street and Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest.

The course will be so arranged that adults may take all or any part of it. No credits will be given for attendance. The chief aim of the sponsors is the stimulation of the thinking of citizens on matters which so vitally affect their welfare. Any adult is eligible for enrollment. No education qualifications are set up. Price 7 cents Copy IRED ITES Office COMMISSIONERS SEEK POWER TO NAME APPOINTEE Only White to Hold Post Since Days of Fred Douglass Running true to form, the District Commissioners are again trying to transfer from the President to themselves the power to appoint the recorder of deeds, in a bill submitted to Chairman Norton of the House District Committee, last week. This move has been attempted several times in the past, but because of the peculiar significance the office bears to the Negroes all over the country, previous efforts have been frustrated. Douglass Was First: The first colored recorder was Frederick Douglass, who was appointed on May 17, 1881. Since the time of Mr. Douglass, the office has been held by a Negro with the exception of one instance. This occurred during the Wilson administration when differences arose between the President and William Jennings Bryant, a cabinet member. As a result, a compromise was effected, whereby John F. Castello, white, present national Democratic committeeman for the District, was given the post. He has been the only white man to ever (Continued on page 2) VICTIM OF AUTO CRASH IS BURIED Musician Freed, Undertaker Held for Grand Jury Following Death Funeral services for Mrs. Ella Gaskins, 38, of 1413 Fifth Street, Northwest, who was fatally injured while waiting for a street car in a collision in which four cars participated, were held at Zion Baptist Church, F Street, Southwest, Saturday afternoon.

TO ADMIT WOMEN TO SUMMER SCHOOL Feminine Members to Be Permitted to Attend Pennsy Institution Philadelphia (ANP)—Traditions at Lincoln University are about to be smashed. The eight-year-old institution has decided to go feminine. The masculine monopoly of grounds and buildings, of Lincoln-lore, and of campus tales must now be shared with the ladies who will be certain to enroll as students in the forthcoming summer school. The public has long regretted that an institution, so beautifully situated in the hills of Chester county, famed for its evergreens and towering maples, should remain closed all summer, while men and women suffered from the heat of city-congested summer schools. This year they may enjoy summer life at Lipcoln. To BEGIN JULY 5 The Co-educational Summer School will begin its session on July 5, and will close August 15. The regular six-week period of study will be offered for those who wish special educational courses, and for persons who would obtain a liberal arts degree. In addition to fundamental courses in the sciences, the school will make a specialty of offering subjects which will deal with contemporary information. Among the subjects listed to be taught are the following: current economic problems, marriage and the family, the Negro in American civilization, contemporary philosophy, art, language, music, speech and dramatics, as well as a comprehensive list of courses in education. WOMEN TO TEACH The present faculty at Lincoln University will be augmented by several teachers who are specialists in their respective fields. It is understood that women will be represented, adequately, in the entire scheme of organization of the summer school. The new dormitory, Rendall Hall, will be set apart for women, while the men will occupy historic Cresson Hall. The university officials stressed the point that these buildings will be properly manned and supervised. Y.W.C.A.

Poets Nosed Out in Opening Game of Scholastic Series TWELVE Poets EARLY LEAD WINS FOR HOWARD FIVE OVER A. AND T. Aggies Unable to Overhaul 22-3 Disadvantages Lost in First Half Piling up a lead of 22-3 in the first twenty minutes of play, Coach Johnnie Burr's Howard University Bison machine was able to coast in to a handy 37-21 victory over the Greensbosso, N.C., A. and T. College five in the Blue and White gymnasium, last Thursday night. Again Jimmie McArthur and Tom Reid, crack Bison guards, led the attack with four field goals apiece. But it was due principally to the all-round floor play and steadying influence of Joe (Showboat) Ware that the Blue and White was able to pile up such an overwhelming lead in the opening minutes of the fracas. Nine bearers of the local colors marched to the score table to mark their participation in a game which proved, except for a few minutes in the second stanza, to be a walk for the Burrmen Conway and Burger, shone as the best bets on a team which 24 hours previously had stopped Coach Jimmie Barnes's Virginia State outfit's streak.

David Houston, principals of the Dunbar and Armstrong high schools respectively, had accepted the invitation of Robert N. Mattingly, Cardozo principal, to play the games on the Purple and White floor. The Cardozo floor has been designated as the most desirable floor in the city for the series. Three officials, I. N. Cupid, H. D. Martin and S. H. Lace, have been named as arbitrators for the series. Ala. State Horents Lose to Tuskegee Tiger: MONTGOMERY, Ala.—The Alabama State Teachers' College Hornet, leading the Southern Conference this week with five victories out of six conference starts, suffered a severe case of blind eyes here tonight and were rudely jolted into a 34-17 defeat at the hands of the Tuskegee Institute Tigers who had started rather slowly this season. Although outweighed and outdistanced in the matter of heights, the Hornetts suffered most from their own glaring off night that was conspicuous with neither the league-leading Parker, Johnson or Scrivens being able to tally a single field goal and with Ray Beard getting four ringers for the long threat of the night. Dunbar Scores Over Training School Basketers.29-22 The National Training School basketball, team joined the long and growing list of victims of the Dunbar Poet quintet, when it fell under a 29-22 defeat, on its own playing court, last Wednesday afternoon.

The toss broke a deadlock and established the Clerks as the victors, 19-17. Francis (Flatney) Marshall, fighting forward of the Purple and White machine, caged the ball from past midcourt with less than a minute to play. The sphere, traveling on a direct line and without arch, struck the back rim and skooted straight down into the basket. It was the signal for more than 200 wildly shouting students to surge onto the court and manhandle the fortunate youngsters of the conquering horde. Marshall was destined to be the star of the game from the very beginning, as it was his loss from the off-side of the basket that broke the ice after four minutes of seesaw play with neither team able to count. Dunbar's first marker came when Armstrong netted one of two free throws allowed when fouled by Marshall. Herbie Tobias, star guard of the Cardozans, slapped a one-handed hooker into the nets from a difficult angle, and then followed with a successful charity toss when fouled by Brooks. With the score thus 5-1 against them, the Crimson and Black warriors began to unfold their attack. Plummer sank a next back-away shot from near the side-line to start the ball a-rolling, and then duplicated with another of the same make. Fenwick, center of the Dunbar aggregation, then got under way. He dropped a tosser, then another and another—three in succession. The score was brought to 11-5, but the 6-point advantage of the Poets was reduced to four as Byrd, captain of the Business team, sank a two-pointer while falling down. The half ended. Opposing players alternated in dropping twin counters until Byrd took an outside pass from Milt Robinson and flipped a field goal to bring the score to 15-13 with six minutes of play remaining. Shaking himself loose a few minutes later, Byrd took another outside pass and dropped in the tying counter. Tobias followed less than a minute later with a beautiful toss from the sideline and the Clerk rooters went wild. But Armstrong retaliated with a scrimmage toss to tie the score again. After Tobias failed on a free toss effort, Marshall crowned himself hero of the contest.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 1. 1934 GENERALS BEAT ADDISON HI 5 Taking advantage of the fact that I'll Harve Hilton, diminutive forward of the Addison High School basketball team was experiencing an "off" day, Coach Edgar P. Westmoreland's Armstrong Technical High School cagers accomplished a 49-36 win over the Roanoke, Va., outfit in the P Street gymnasium, Friday. The little 135-pound sharp-shooter experienced no little difficulty finding the range of the basket, and as a result the invading aggregation, led by coach Jack Lawson, suffered. His playing was so far inferior to the ability he has displayed in the past, that a substitute replaced him before the third quarter was completed. Meanwhile the Generals represented by Westmoreland's "shock troops," fell behind an early Addison lead. It was not until the insertion of the "big five," led by Captain Bumper Hayes, that the Orange and Blue came into its own. Even then two field goals in rapid succession and a good effort from the 15-foot line by Roanoke performers kept the locals on the short, end of the scoring for most of the half. But once going the District scholastic champions were not to be denied. Widespread opinion after the game seemed to be to the effect that the Washingtonians will encounter much more serious opposition when, on February 22, they engage the Virginians on their larger home court. Poet Basketers Win From Cardozo A.C. Quint Coach P. L. L. Jacob's Dunbar High School five resumed its march toward a victory string after its momentary setback at the hands of the Dunbar Community Center quint, when it took the measure of the Cardozo A.C. in a 26-20 engagement at Dunbar Friday afternoon. Neither team held the advantage at the close of the first half, and it was not until the closing minutes of the battle that Dunbar, coming from behind a see-sawing lead on numerous occasions, was able to gain the van and keep it. Fenwick and N. Robinson counted 7 points each to lead the Dunbar and Cardozo scorers respectively. Elk Boxers Win 5 of 7 Matches With Y Team The Morning Star Elks boxing team stopped the Y, M, C, A, glove-mushers in a dual clash, at the Elks Home, Fifteenth and Q Streets, Northwest, last Wednesday night. The horned fighters took 5 matches to the Twelfth Streets 2. A huge silver trophy, presented by John T. Rhines, local undertaker and former grand exalted ruler of the lodge, was given to the winning team. Granger Leaves Bortentown for Urban League Work BORDENTOWN, N.J.-Principal W. R. Valentine of the Bordentown School announced this week the resignation of the school's extension worker, L. B. Granger, to take effect on February 1. An active figure in New Jersey school and welfare activities for over a decade, Granger ends a twelve-year period of service at the Bordentown Manual Training School to accept an appointment on the stage of the National Urban League with headquarters in New York City. His task will be promotion of Opportunity Magazine in the role of business manager, and he enters upon his new duties immediately. 'Keege High School Five Defeats Tuscaloosa TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. —The Tuskegee Institute boys' high school basketball team won a decisive, 35 to 16, victory over the Central High School team of Tuscaloosa, Ala., on the Logan Hall court here Friday night. Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune I've had many requests for my opinion of the game between Coach Eddie Hurt's champion Morgan College basketball team and Washington's own Johnnie Burr's Howard University floor outfit, played in Baltimore on January 12. There were many of my readers who sought to have me commit myself immediately after the game, in which Howard came out on the short end of a 29-25 count. Since that time the Bisons have gone on to win five straight games and establish themselves as the most serious threat of the C.I.A.A. teams that have shown here thus far this season. And because of this performance the demands have become even more numerous, and I find myself "in a fix" so to speak. Now it is quite difficult for one inclined to behave ethically to criticize, either one way or another, the conduct of a person in the same line of work in which he himself is engaged. A doctor who scoffs at what another doctor prescribes for a certain ailment and goes on to point out the flaws in that treatment before it has been given a fair trial should be avoided. And nobody is likely to condemn a person who bewares of a lawyer who—through criticism and ridicule—seeks to dissuade the client of a colleague from going through with that colleague after the two have entered a case together. I, therefore, sincerely bone that what follows will be accepted by my readers as my honest opinion of that game, an opinion based on my position as a newspaper reporter or critic AND NOT AS A RIVAL OR ASSOCIATE OFFICIAL. It so happens that the ex-Morgan star of the gridiron and hardwood was "on the spot" the moment he walked on the floor with his white shirt and duck pants. No better sacrifice could have been sent to the altar of derision by Morgan College officials. They—not Clark—should be criticized. Just a few years out of the school which was on this night meeting its most formidable opponent, Clark became the target of sharp-shooters of the alien cheering section before the ball was tossed up at center. "Six men in uniform;" "It's in the bag;" "No chance for Howard, tonight." These were only a few of the cries that went up from various points in a crowded auditorium to greet Clark on his first venture as arbiter in a major game. The unbiased observer cannot help but accept Clark's fate in this first "big time" appearance a as predestined failure. I will admit, for the sake of argument and in the hope of satisfying some of those who are already prepared to scalm me for expressing this, that the acceptance of the job by Clark was a bit premature. I admit that Clark should have been able to foresee the reception that he was going to receive in view of the fact that he was so recently a star on one of the two contending teams. He should have been able to appreciate the inevitable attitude of Howard rooters when they looked down on him as the referee and made ready to "razz" his every move. And he should have been willing to predict that each time his whistle blew on an offense of the visitors—whether flagrant, trivial or otherwise—he would become the object of every describable type of epithet. I know full well that Clark should have waited until he had established himself as a capable, conscientious official before accepting such a comparatively difficult task. In another year, or maybe two, he would have made for himself a reputation that would be above reasonable reproach on any occasion. I use the word "reasonable" here because it is understood that an athletic official never reaches the stage where he is saved from reproach entirely. Clark PLAYS the game, STUDIES the game, KNOWS the game, and LOVES the game. Those are the essentials for the making of a good official. Pinky Clark did a good job. It so happens that the ex-Mor- wood was "on the spot" the mono- white shirt and duck pants. No bet- the altar of derision by Morgan C should be criticized. Just a few years out of the sch its its most formidable opponent, Clark ers of the alien cheering section at at center. "Six men in uniform." "It's in tonight." These were only a few wrong points in a crowded auditorium as an arbiter in a major game. The accept Clark's fate in this first "big failure. I will admit, for the sake of a fying some of those who are alre- pressing this, that the acceptance mature. I admit that Clark should ception that he was going to recei so recently a star on one of the two been able to appreciate the inevitable they looked down on him as the ree very move. And he should have be his whistle blew on an offense of the or otherwise—he would become the epithet. I know full well that Clark she lished himself as a capable, counsel a comparatively difficult task. In a have made for himself a reputable reproach on any occasion. I use t it is understood that an athletic of he is saved from reproach entirely Clark PLAYS the game, STU and LOVES the game. Those are good official. Y COMMERCIAL LEAGUE DOPE The leadership of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. Commercial League was taken over last night by the Red Caps after defeating Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Five in a contest that was thrilling from the start. The game was played on the Twelfth Street Y court and ended 26-23. This contest marked the telephones boys' first defeat. The Freedmen's staff, in a non-league contest, defeated the fast Flashes of Highland Park, Maryland, 31-29. A last minute spurt by the Marylanders was fateful. Tomorrow night the Red Caps will meet Freedmen's. W. L. Pet. Red Caps... 2 0 1.000 Chesapeake & Pot... 1 1 .500 Lichtman... 1 1 .000 Freedmen's... 0 0 .000 Bordentown Basketers Bag Tenth Straight Win BOWIE, Md.—Coach Taylor's Bowie Normal basketers put up a game fight but yielded a heavy margin of victory to the undefeated Bordentown five when the Jersey Wildcats swamped their Maryland rivals by a 49-17 score, here Saturday. Superiority in shooting, passing, and defense work told the story of the game, for after the first five minutes of play it was easily evident that the less experienced Marylanders had no chance against the Granger-Ray-coached combination from Ironsides. At half time the visitors led 26-6, and a substitute line-up that completed the game maintained convincing superiority throughout. Maddox at forward showed well for Bowie, while Mitchell and Smith had a field day at the expense of the Bowie guards in making the highest point totals for Bordentown. The girls' game was more closely contested, but Bordentown's misses coasted safely through the last quarter to check off a Bowie threat and win handily 30-15. ROOKIE STARS AS HAMPTON WINS ROOKIE STARS AS HAMPTON WINS HAMPTON INSTITUTE. Va.—The Hampton Pirates, finally hitting their stride, scored a decisive 30-22 victory over the Virginia State Trojans, last Saturday, but it was Larry Owens, the New Jersey freshman, who stepped into the shoes of the injured Mel Lancaster and proved to be the hero. In the second half he tossed in five twin-pointers and one from the 15-foot line to top all scorers, his nearest rivals being Vamm, of Hampton, and Boykins, of State, with six points each. The widely-renowned Shagg Courtney was unable to get away at all being held to a scant five points while Coefield and Griffin, the other sensations, could make no more than two and four points, respecti-ely. Florida Rattlers Subdued by Tuskegee Tigers TUSKEEGE INSTITUTE, Ala. In a game that sparkled with thrilling shots from difficult floor angles, Tuskegee Institute defeated the Florida A. and M. College basketball team, 40 to 24, in Logan Gymnasium here Saturday afternoon. Florida led the scoring attack and kept the game under control during the first half, and at the intermission was leading, 17 to 9. Livingstone Co-eds Score LIVINGSTONE COLLEGE, Salisbury N.C.-The Livingstone girls' basketball team added two more victories to its credit by defeating both Shaw and Lynchburg Y.W.C.A. Saturday. The Shaw girls defeated by a score of 12-8. The Lynchburg team lost by a score of 11-8. Bisons Stand Off Challenge of Big Blues and Win, 25-22 Mountaineers' Rally in Waning Minutes of Saturday Fracas Falls Three Points Short of Mark; Locals Trail for First Few Minutes With Mike Carmichael, hefty Bluefield Collegiate Institute forward, leading the attack, Coach Harry (Big Jeff) Jefferson's West Virginiaians threw a last minute scare into the camp of the Howard University Bisons, on the latter's court here, Saturday night. A charitable gong sounded on a 25:22 final score. BOXING CARD AT MU-SO-LIT CLUB Followers of the mitt and mat game will be treated to a real show on George Washington's birthday when the Mu-So-Lit Club will put on twenty rounds of boxing and two wrestling matches. Promoter Albert T. Jones, recently of New York, has a capable "stable" of fist slingers, including "Cyclone" Williams. These boys will be matched in five 4-round bouts. Promoter Jones has entered into an agreement with officials of the club and next week the names of the serappers will be made public. The only "fly in the ointment" is that admission to the exhibition will be limited to members of the club and their friends. Guest tickets will be available only through a member of the club or from the committee on arrangements, composed of Dr. J. E. Trigg, Dr. W. A. Goodlee, Dr. V. B. Martin, William A. Reid, ar. Dr. R. B. Pearson. This is the first of a series of moves on the part of the Mu-So-Lit Club to aid in the development of local athletics and sporting events. Union Bows in Surprise Defeat By A. and T. Bichmond, Va.—The biggest upset of the season was witnessed at the Community Gym Friday night as the A. & T. Aggies romped over the Union Panthers to the merry tune of 41-23. It was a one-sided affair throughout; a fast and determined five pitted against the shadow of the great team which sent Hampton down to defeat only a week ago. From the opening blast of Referee Cook's whistle until the timekeeper signaled that it was all over, there was little doubt in the minds of the spectators as to the outcome. Union's big guns, E. Lee, Davenport and Whitaker were sadly out of range, not only failing to register from the middle of the court, but at the charity line as well. The defense was shattered time after time and the Aggies were particularly effective at short range. Bordentown Cops Granger's Finale By 29-27 Score BORDENTOWN, N.J.—In what came close to being a double upset for the Downies, the league leading Ironsides quintet badgeby to their coach, Lester B. Granger, by coping a sensational 29-27 thriller from Downington School. In another nip and tuck battle the Bordentown lassies took the short end of a 30-27 tilt with the champion Downingtown girls In the "Battle of the Males" a tall lad named Young gave Lanky Taylor, all M3A center, a lesson in court tactics. Besides scoring 15 of his team's total, he displayed general ability which made Lanky look amateurish. The first half ended with Ivonsides leading 13-11 and was a bit tame. With half of the final canto ended, Coach Granger's men sported a 27-21 advantage. Then the Lomaxmen came to life and knotted the count 27-27 with 30 seconds to go. Here Mr. Young came through with a timely two-bagger to salt Coach Granger's swan song away in his victory bag. Hornets Drop 32-29 Tilt to Tuskegee Quint TUSKEGEE, INSTITUTE, Ala. —In as good a game as has been seen on the Legan Gymnasium court this season. The Tuskegee Tigers grabbled a 32 to 29 decision from the State Teachers College Hornets here Saturday evening. The score indicates the closeness of the contest. Tuskegee secured an early lead and at half time the score stood; 14 to 9. Y Big Five Travels The Twelfth Street "Y" Big Five will leave Friday afternoon for Chester, Pennsylvania to meet the fast Jack Morris Five in that city. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Carmichael's floor play, together with the coming to life of Bluefield's towering center, Johnson, brought the visitors from behind a 16-7 count at the half to within three points of the winners at the close. The former sank two double-deckers from near mid-court within the last four minutes of hostilities. The Big Blues went into the lead at the outset and played close to the Bisons for a full 12 minutes of the opening period. Thompson and Johnson were responsible. The former caged a field goal and a pair of foul tosses, and the latter negotiated one each from the floor and the free-throw mark. At this point Ware, Wynne and Pinn came into the fray with two pointers and McArthur dropped in a charity toss to place Howard on the front end of a 9-7 count as the first period passed its halfway mark. Specks replaced Captain Turkey Pinn it center after the letter had been withdrawn with three personal fouls charged against him. Although the substitute pivot man did not match his floor leader's all-round play, he netted a pair of timely twin-counters to help retain the advantage of the locals.

Ala.—Tuskegee students, faculty members and townpeople witnessed one of the finest games of basketball ever seen here when the Renaissance, world's basketball champions, played the Golden Tigers an exhibition game in Logan Gymnasium Thursday afternoon. The score was 43 to 27. This was the first appearance of the Renaissance contingent on the local court and the consenus us of opinion is that there is no question as to the ability of any member of the Renaissance team to handle a basketball and to adequately cover the hardwood. For rhythm, coordination of effort, utility of purpose and spontaneity of action, and accurate passing and shooting, one need not look further than the Renaissance performers. They have all of the qualities that make a well balanced organization. Phenls Falls Before Second Half Cardozo Attack Rushing the combination of Captain Byrd, Robinson, Marshall, Hawkins; d Tobias into the fray for a second half which began with a 14-21 score against them, the Cardozo High School Clerks loosed a reserve attack which ultimately carried them to a decisive 38-28 victory over the Phelps Vocational School teachers in the Cardozo gym, Friday afternoon. Montgomery's 7 points led the losers, but his efforts were outdone by Robinson, Marshall, and Hawkins, who counted 11, 10, and 8 points respectively. Aggies Row to Virginia State Troians. 43-35 Petersburg, Va.—The Virginia State Troopers injured their first defeat of the current basketball season (after having been victorious in five previous starts) at the hands of Coach Branx's fast moving, close guarding, and long range shooting A. & T. Ears, in the Virginia State gymnastium, last Wednesday night to the tune of 43 to 35. It was a game filled with thrills from start to finish in spite of the decisiveness indicated by the score. It was not until the last five minutes of the final period that the outcome became evident. Until that time the game was a see-saw, both teams enjoying the lead at frequent and short intervals. Wolverines Score Over Morehouse Tigers Atlanta, Ga.—Trailing at the end of the first half, by a margin of four points, the Morris Brown Wolterines hit their stride in the second half, and defeated the Morehouse Ticers. 34.25. HOWARD TOSSERS WIN PLAYGROUND CAGE TOURNEY Fourth and W Ground Boys Take Three of Four Court Clashes Miss Daisy Pierce's Howard Playground basketball teams gained singular honors in the D. C.

The 130-pounders took the measure of the Cardozo Playgrounders, 29-23, but the Unlimited Division Howardites dropped a thrilling 18-17 decision to a similar team of Cardozo.

Storcer Splits Cage Bill With Downingtown DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—The Storer Collegians from Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, were able to carry home only half of the bacon, after opposing the Downingtown School passers in a twin bill here Saturday night. The Downie girls won in a romp, 37-9, to turn in their twenty-eighth triumph in a row and their initial MSA victory of the 1934 season. Then in a hectic affair the Storer lads turned the table to win by an eyelash, 17-16. Kegan Mentor Has Olympic Games Aspirations Montgomery, Ala.—Chew L. Abbott, director of athletics at Tuskegee Institute, has a sweet ambition to send a group of Tuskegee athletes, boys and girls, to the Olympics, which will be held in Berlin, Germany, in 1936, be confided to a group of friends who engaged him in conversation at Dean's Drug Store, here Friday night after the State Teachers College-Tuskegee basketball game. Downers Win and Lose PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Boy's and girls' basketball squads, representing Downingtown Industrial School, shared a doubleheader at the Philadelphia Y.W.C.A. on Saturday night. The Downie Maids trimmed the Junior League Sextet, 37-B, and sent their string of consecutive victories, which began February 28, 1931, to 27 games. The Lomaxmell fell before the Tribute Pen Pushers in the nightcap, 25-19. Breaux Leads A & T Bulldogs Against Former Mates RICHMOND, Va.—The cage proteges of Coach Hucles rounding into mid-season form after playing only four games with a 2-2 record, are primed for the "human interest" basketball fray Friday night, at the New Community Gymnasium when the A. and T. College "Bulldogs" under the tutelage of Inman A. Breaux (former Va. Union star) will engage Union in the latter's fifth C.I.A.A. basketball conflict of the year. Rennies Victors The Rennies won their first game of the season by defeating the Booker T. Scouts, 22 to 1 Wednesday in the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School gymnasium. Verdell Out at Howard -- Bison Basketers Go South BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Five Years of Service Ends With Expiration of Half-Year Term Peeved Administrative and Alumni Groups Succeed in Firing Grid Mentor After Mediocre Record; Officials Decline to Name Successor By SAM LACY Thomas Verdell is out as head coach of football at Howard University. He drew his last check as a member of the faculty of the Hilltop institution. Wednesday. Reports are to the effect that he is not to return next fall as had been previously indicated. No probable successor has been named. The termination of the Verdell regime followed five years of mediocre success as gridiron mentor at Howard. His teams, unable to boast of a record of consistent wins, became the target of a dissatisfied alumni and administration. That he was to be ousted after the expiration of his contract was a foregone conclusion. The contract Verdell just completed called for his working the entire year on a half-salary basis, but upon request the contract was changed so that he could work the half-year for the equivalent of the salary he would receive with the 50 per cent cut from the preceding year. Having had the pleasure of observing the last two games played by the Howard University basketball team from the sideline, this writer has been impressed by the apparent "intelligence" of a large portion of the Howard cheering section. Not that one should be surprised that college students are intelligent, because I'm not. I know that happens sometime. Sam's Scripts University officials remained noncommittal. Professor Frank Coleman, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control, declined to make any statement whatever, even to the extent of verifying Verdell's departure. C. W. Davis, head of the department of physical education, also refused to make a statement, referring inquiring reporters to the Board of Athletic Control. Meanwhile Verdell is unemployed. At present he is reputed to be temporarily employed by a local thetic, while seeking CWA employment. At one time while he was serving as football coach at Howard, Verdell became eligible for appointment in the physical education department in the local junior high schools. That eligibility, however, pan out with the holding of a later examination, entrance to which Verdell was denied because of certain requirements which he lacked. BEARS WIN OVER BLUEFIELD AFTER SLOW START Visitors Jump Into Early Lead, But Hurt Hurtmen Rally BALTIMORE, Md.-The Morgan Bears met the invasion of the ferocious Big Blues of Bluefield with a fine exhibition of basketball skill that netted the Bears a 52-34 victory at the New Albert Auditorium here Friday. During the opening minutes of the game, the lanky invaders launched an offensive attack that seemed to bewilder the Bears and ran up a 14-point lead before the Morgan quint was able to score. The Blues' lead was short-lived, however, for the Bears soon fell into their old form, and with Conrad and Troupe leading the attack, banged away at the basket with such a consistency that they clocked up 18 points before the Big Blues scored again. The end of the first period saw Morgan in the van with a 30-18 lead. The second period proved a continuation of the Bears' scoring attack. Troupe, Wilson, and Hackett executed a series of lightning-like passes that kept the ball in the visitors' territory while Conrad and Mosby clocked up a line of double deckers that definitely gave the Bears an unthreatened lead.

Ten minutes after the game started the score was tied at 11-11, but from then on the Scasiders began to pull away and their lead was not threatened thereafter. Johnson, lanky pivot man of the Big Blues, was the outstanding scorer of the fray, throwing five field goals and four free tries through the hoop for a total of fourteen points. New Diamond Club to Hold Meeting The newly organized Myrtle Orioles baseball team will meet, Monday, at the residence of Elbert Johnson, 3815 Decatur Street, Northeast. The meeting will be called to order at 8:30 p.m. Sam's Scripts Having had the pleasure of observing the last two games played by the Howard University basketball team from the sideline, this writer has been impressed by the apparent "intelligence" of a large portion of the Howard cheering section. Not that one should be surprised that college students are intelligent, because I'm not. I know that hammers sometime. What should be mentioned, though, is the fact that many of these students are able to see past the two or three fellows who do most of the scoring in the games. That Art Carter is applauded on each occasion of entrance or exit is a matter worthy of note. Not possessing the color of a tricky dribber and deceptive passer, and not wearing a continuous frown in an effort to show how hard he is fighting for "good ole Howard," Carter nevertheless, has gained the appreciation of a large following which recognizes in him a consistent pigger and important cog in the Euro machinery. Friends, I don't even know his first name, but the other end of his handle is Jase. He plays baseball and football at Dunbar Irish School—and capably. And he is one of the best things about the Dunbar basketball team. Yours truly heard him trying vainly to discourage the "razzing" his school's cheering section was loosing every time a Cardozo player attempted a free-throw in the game. Monday. A hand to Jase for his sportsmanship. * * * * The Government Basketball League has finally gone "the way probably the guys who had it of all flesh." Somebody, most within their power to put the thing over, gave it a "slap in the slop," and it's now all but history. Without doubt it's a pretty tough admission in view of the fact that minus any serious competition in the form of rival promoters the officials of the league would allow an enterprise that had great promise to collapse on their hands. Lack of interest, indifference, a hoggish desire for publicity and jealousy are the principal factors in its failure. One young man can be exonerated for any part in these actions though. In fact he employed such high-pressure salesmanship on your writer that the latter, not altogether the most gullible creature, really believed that the league was going somewhere. But his efforts and the publicity given by this page was not equal to the tasks of overcoming the barrier presented by the organization's own officials. Wrestling and a little boxing will be the side-show features of the meeting between the "Pansy" Five and the "Mermaid" Quintet for the championship of the "Neuter" division, at the Masonic Auditorium tonight (Thursday). Like the Groundhog who comes out hiding tomorrow, these "boys" have their day tonight. Although this writer was one of those who at first hailed the adoption of the 10-second and 3-second rules as a retrogressive step, he is now ready to admit that no little speed has been added to the game by the inception of these regulations into the basketball code. But the official surely gets as much exercise as the players now—damsam! Sports Scribe Finishes Work on Batchler Degree Richmond, Va.-Richard (Bichie) Keller, Union Sports Scribe, today completed his work for a Bachelor of Arts degree from Virginia Union University. The degree will be granted in June. “Richie” graduated from Wendell Phillips High School in Chicago before coming to Union. During his stay here he has participated in sports and forensics and received the varsity “U” for his cage activities.

M. H. A. court, before 1200 fans, Thursday night. The newsgirls were the only team to beat the Specials last season, and this defeat was the Specials' first for this season. The Tribunites displayed real form in the first half and with a barrage of sensational shots by Ora Washington, Rose Wilson, Louise Hill and the defensive playing of Kitty Thomas and Helen Davis, completely baffled the Jersey girls in the first half which ended 23.6. In the second half the Belmar led by the two Richardson sisters displayed better form, and the final score ended 33.21. Trenton, N.J.—Fans everywhere are beginning to wonder just who is going to stop Otto Briggs’ Philadelphia Tribune Girls, national basketball champions. Playing like real champions here on their home court at the Elks Home, Friday; they swamped the Princeton Rhymlum Girls by the score of 23-5. Mann, Hill and Craft played a bang-up game. Capt. Ira Washington watched her bunch go on rampage from the bench. Va. State Has Little Trouble Disposing of Henderson PETERSBURG, Va.—The Virginia State College basketball team opened the 1934 season on last Friday night by defeating a scrappy but hopelessly outclassed Henderson Institute team by a one-sided score of 55 to 25. The Henderson boys started with a flash, got possession of the ball on the first tip-off, and drew first blood as Riddick, promising right forward, sank a beautiful field goal from long range. The lead thus obtained was not enjoyed for long, however. Shortly thereafter, Solomon, veteran State guard and the only veteran on the team, shot a foul goal to break the ice for the Trojans. Courtney, center and Coefield, forward followed quickly with field goals each. After this, the combined efforts of Courtney, Coefield, Griffin, and Carroll produced 25 points for the Trojans by the end of the first half. Meanwhile Henderson was only able to gather 8. The second half was not unlike the first. Courtney, Coefield and Griffin, leading the Trojan attack and running the total points to 50 before being removed from the game. After reaching the half century mark, Coach Barnes gave every man in uniform a chance to play. Livingstone Blue Bears Win SALISBURY.-The men's team of Livingstone College—the Blue Bears—lost a hot and fast cage tilt to the Bachelors Benedict Club of Winston Salem, a semi-pro by the score of 30-27.

On Tuesday evening at 8:45, the cheering rabble began to arrive. When that cheering did really begin the Freedmen's rollers mauled the pins. With spares galore and plenty strikes, too, what else but win could the medicos do? With Nelson's score of three twenty-four and Adams helping all the more, there was only left for the Franklins to choose—"Take it," boys, or sing the blues. The Cosmopolitans took two from Liberty Loan. This was a very dead sort of match. Every player at one time or another gave one the impression that he was out for rolling a flat game. Spare breaks apparently meant nothing to them. Another team is wanted to make up a six-tem team. The management of the Masonic Alleys gave away prizes to lucky ticket holders last week as scheduled. Last Friday night 100 pounds of sugar was given away, 10 pounds each, to the following: W. Woodford, A. Gilliam, F. E. INSTITUTE, W. Va.—The Mid- Western Athletic Association, composed of Kentucky State College, Wilberforce University, Louisville Municipal College, West Virginia State College, Missouri Lincoln University and Tennessee State College convened, here with all save the Missouri Lincoln institution represented, last week-end. The opening session was addressed by Mr. John W. Davis, President of West Virginia State College. The Committee on the Constitution made no recommendations for immediate revision but suggested clarification of the section in the constitution dealing with transfer students. Rather wide newspaper publicity has been given to charges that Wilberforce University has been playing ineligible men. Many of these charges result from a lack of knowledge on the part of the general public as to the operation of the Mid-Western regulations. Three years ago when the Association was organized there was a general understanding among member colleges that the regulations should not penalize students who were at that time registered in the colleges, but would effect all students entering the colleges after the date of organization. There are several players now playing on Mid-Western teams who actually have not played their time, but who are within the law according to this understanding. Among other things the association voted that since mythical championships are not awarded, there would be a selection of All-Mid-Western Elevens (two teams) beginning in 1934. Wilberforce Announces 1934 Football Schedule WILBERFORCE, Ohio.

A remarkable exhibition of skill by both teams and expert handling of the ball made the game a thriller from start to finish. Virginia State, without the valuable playing of Coefield, Griffen and Carroll would have been in a sad predicament, but those three individuals held their own defense together and put up such a tremendous offense that the mighty Tiger turned into a tame pussy-cat and wilted to the beautiful tune of 43-33.

Y Big Five Meets Harrisburg Quint The Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. will meet the Harrisburg Y of Harrisburg, Pa. on the local Y court Thursday night. The contest promises to be a good one. The visitors are leading the Harrisburg senior basketball league and so far this season have been undefeated. The local aggregation has also had a clean slate and will go into the contest with its strongest line-up for the year. Led by Lanky Jones, Slim Thomas, Everette Jeffries, the Twelfth Streeters are ruled a decided favorite. No matter how it was done you must give credit to the one who has done it. If we are to succeed we must adapt ourselves to the times. Five Reasons for Safety JUNIOR HIGH LADS PLAY VOLLEY BALL FINALS Francis Junior High Youngsters Score in Clean Sweep of Play Before a large assemblage of pupils and teachers, the tumbling teams of five junior high schools, of Divisions 10-13 competed at Randall Junior High School, Friday afternoon. The teams consisted of five boys, the best tumblers in each of the junior high schools, competing. Each boy was required to perform each of the following five stunts: forward roll, backward roll (in series), head stand, cart wheel, and a forward dive. Each boy was also required to present two optional stunts not listed above. C. L. Pinderhughes and J. Q. Adams, of the physical education staff of the high schools, flashed their judgments in point scores in which 10 points were maximum for the required events and 20 points the maximum for each optional score. Last year's winner, Hill, of Shaw Junior High, was high point scorer this year with a total of 83.5 of a possible 90. Mangrum, of Randall Junior High, was second with 78 points; Jackson, of Francis, was third with 77 points; and Pinderhughes, of Garnet-Patterson, was fourth with 76.

The hearings had been set for Saurday, January 27, but post-ponement was foced by the failure of the clerk of the court to have the transcript of the record in the hands of the LL.D. attorneys in time for them to prepare final motion papers.

'34 Basketbal EDITOR'S NOTE: Each week The Tribune will publish one change in the basketball rules as adopted by the Joint Basketball Rules Committee to govern amateur and collegiate play during the current year. These are reworded by the editor for the purpose of making the language of the rules book more easily understood. The loop-hole in the 1933 three-second rule which had to do with the player effecting a pivot) giving the pivot-man permission to pivot outside of the free-throw lane and back again into it with a new count beginning with each re-entrance was abolished when the 1934 rules were adopted. The pivot-man, commonly known as the BLOCK around whom players move on a team using thi stype of offense, according to the rules is allowed three seconds in which to dispose of the ball after having received it arc around the free-throw line. The count begins the moment that player receives the ball with his back to his basket. Several players, assuming this position, quickly learned that the count did not affect them if they moved out of the arc and immediately returned to it. The new rules apply to that BLOCK man as long as he is in possession of the ball after having once assumed that position. Electric Refrigerators Year Round Necessity The almost universal acceptance of electric refrigeration as a standard for modern food preservation has been largely responsible for the decline of makeshift refrigerators for the winter, shch as window boxes, back porches and other substitutes, according to L. Clement Speed, of Ristig Incorporated, 1214 U Street, Northwest, local dealer for the Leonard Refrigerator Company. "That it offers a dependable, unvarying temperature in one of the chief advantages of the electric refrigerator," said Mr. Speed. "Long ago, science determined that the safe limits of food preservation lie above freezing and below 50 degrees, Fahrenheit. So-called 'natural' refrigeration provided by the back porch or the window box does not offer assurance that these limits will be maintained. "In fact, Government figures show these maktshifts to be most undependable. Government authorities have determined that there are on the average only 19 days in the entire year when the temperature remains within safe food preservation limits. "On other days, the temperature either drops below the freezing or rises above the 50-degree mark. Either case means expense and danger. The cells in food which have been exposed to below-freezing weather break down rapidly when thawing takes place. Some foods, thus exposed, are worthless when the cells have broken, while others lose their flavor and taste. "On the other hand, the back porch or the window refrigerator often offers temperatures well above the 50-degree danger line, and the growth of harmful molds and bacteria is promoted. Under these circumstances, food spoils rapidly. Either it must be eaten, with attendant danger to the family, or it must be thrown away." Electric refrigeration is just as necessary in "the winter as it is in the summer, pointed out Mr. Speed. "It is always summer in the kitchen," he said. "Room temperature is uncomfortable to the average person if under the conventional 70 degrees. Usually the temperature is well above this mark in the kitchen, due to cooking activities. So refrigeration is as much of a nce sity in the winter as it is in mid-July." The Bicycle and the Stomach Do you know that riding a bicycle regularly will reduce your stomach if it is too large and will keep it trim and neat if it is already just right? Women of the stage whose figure is their fortune have taken to this delightful exercise and ride each day to preserve their slender, girlish figures. Women who are unhappy over a great big waist-line can now take hope for with bicycle riding they too can become as sylphlike as their sisters and no painful dieting to worry over. Get a bicycle and get rid of your stomach. ST. PAUL LOSES TO AGGIES GREENSBORO, N.C.—The A. and T. Bulldog directed the St. Paul Tigers, 26-12 here last Wednesday night.

Dropped off in the lair of the Panthers, the Blue and White warriors will spend their first night in Dixie matched against Richmond's Union University floor team. The Hucles-coached aggregation will be putting forth every effort to avenge itself for the shellacking it took in Washington on the occasion of Howard's C.I.A.A. inaugural. Saturday will find the Howardites striving to keep clean a slate that has been unmarried since its four-point defeat at the hands of Morgan in the opening game of the conference season in Baltimore. Since that time the Burmen have succeeded in evening the count by taking the measure of the Monumental Cityans on the Washington floor. St. Paul, with her fast travelling Tigers, will be encountered on the hardwoods at Lawrenceville, Va. The Saints, though unable to boast of a record as impressive as Howard's, have shown flashes of true form in their first few games. Reports emanating from the camps of the two prospective hosts of the Bisons indicate that the capital city horde is in for a warm reception when it invades the South tomorrow. Most any team sporting a succession of wins over such teams as Union, Lincoln, Morgan, A. and T., and Bluefield can expect that its next opponents will be ready and eager for blood.

But maybe it was a lookout for a member of the B.W.C.C.

Everyone should stick to his own business. Former Local Girl Stars In "Drums O' Voodoo" By GARLAND MACKEY "Drums O' Voodoo" is without a doubt the most powerful drama of jungle superstition ever to be brought to the screen. A screening of the picture before a critical audience at the Raphael Theatre Friday night brought nothing but praise. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar DePriest were among those seen at the screening. The picture will begin Saturday at the Ninth Street theatre for a seven-day run. Easily the most outstanding actress of the stage is Miss Laura Bowman, a product of the Washington schools who took the leading role as Aunt Hager, leader of the voodoos. Miss Bowman is appearing in person at the theatre. She has been broadcasting from the boat of Seth Parker which is on a world tour. Miss Bowman toured Europe with the famous show Williams and Walker, playing a period of ten playing an engagement of ten months at the Shaftsbury Theatre in London. It was during this engagement that she appeared before the late King Edward VII at a command performance in honor of the birthday of the present Prince of Wales. The performance was given at Buckingham Palace. REPUBLIC THEATRE 1343 YOU ST., N.W.

Berlin, Moscow, Petrograd, Budapest, Vienna, Rome, Naples, Zurich, and Paris were included in her tour. At the outbreak of the war, after three or four years in Germany, Miss Bowman returned to the United States. In 1916, Miss Bowman joined the Lafayette Players, New York's first dramatic company, which produced Broadway successes with all Negro casts at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem. Miss Bowman appeared in five hundred different productions with that company. Later she joined Raymond O'Neill's Negro Art Theatre Company, appearing in Oscar Wilde's "Salome" and Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors" on Broadway. Among her other Broadway successes are "The Sentinels," by Lulu Vollmer, at the Biltmore Theatre, and "Salome" at the Frazee Theatre. with Ralph Bellamy June Collyer Claude Gillingwater TAKING AS HIS EXCITING SUBJECT THE STORY OF THE INFIDEL WHO DEFIES BOTH GODS—THE GOD OF THE BIBLE AND THE GOD OF THE JUNGLE—MR.

THE FEDERAL NATIONAL GUARD --- FOURTEEN SCHOOL GIRL ROMANCE IS LURING REPUBLIC Life and love in a girls' school is the theme of "Eight Girls in a Boat," the Charles R. Rogers production that will be shown at the Republic Theatre for five days beginning Friday, February 2. This story of a beautiful school girl is one of the most poignant romances yet to come out of Hollywood. The cast may be short in fame but its members are long on talent, and, after this picture has played around, it is safe to predict that Dorothy Wilson, Douglass Montgomery, Kay Johnson and Barbara Barondess are going to mean something bigger in Hollywood and on the screen. Dorothy is a student and is in trouble. She shares her trouble with her sweetheart. They are afraid. The few they approach make it impossible to reveal their secret. But finally, Dorothy is punished so severely at school for her inattention that she breaks down and reveals her plight. To her amazement her friends do not snub her. They are closer than ever. "Before Midnight" which will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday. February 7-8, will present an intriguing murder mystery that runs high in suspense.

Studios in Los Angeles for more than eight months, "Drums O' Voodoo" is the first talking picture in which she has appeared. Among the many Negro spirituals sung during the revival meetings in "Drums O' Voodoo" are "Don't Let Nobody Turn You Roun" and "Good News De Chariot Is A-Coming." "Drums O'Voodoo" is the first screen presentation ever to be made with the original stage players in the roles they created. Among those who appear in support of Laura Bowman and J.

Miss Bowman is under contract to do another stage-play in New York and returns there immediately after her week's engagement at the Rapheal Theatre, to start rehearsals. Nathaniel Guy to Appear in "Othello" For the first time in the history of the drama, an adequate presentation of Othello, with an all-star Negro cast, has been an community of Southern Negroes, direct descendants of original African slaves now residing on the outskirts of a small town in the swamp-lands of Louisiana. Old Aunt Hagar, last of the Voodoo priestesses, holds uncanny influence over the minds of the simple inhabitants of this community.

Aunt Hagar is Star If "Hallejuiah" pleased you, "Drums O' Voodoo" will thrill you. It is the first all-Negro picture I have seen without a crap game. J. Augustus Smith as Elder Berry is a typical minister of the South. His portrayal of this role is true to life without the frills most actors in similar parts inject into their acting. Morris McKinney as Thomas Catt, the gambler and racketeer, is superb. Edna Barr as Myrtle Simpson, who is in love with Ebenenezer (Lioney Monagas) acts the part of the perfect country lass of the South. nounced by the Negro Art Ensemble of the Shakespeare Civic Theatre, 69 Fifth Avenue, in New York City. The production is being staged by Anthony Jachim. The part of Othello is being taken by Nathaniel Guy of Washington and New York. John R. Gude, Shakespeare scholar and capitalist, refers to Mr. Guy as "the greatest Othello that I have ever been privileged to see."

"Fat's" reputation, however, by no means rests alone upon his success as a song writer for he is equally well known as a pianist, organist, singer and conductor. WARNER BAXTER ON HOWARD SCREEN For six days beginning Saturday, the Howard Theatre presents an amazing new style of screen entertainment, featuring Warner Baxter, Helen Vinson and Warner Oland in "As Husbands Go," a story that is true, with real human understanding, and which delves deeply into the hearts of its people.

CINEMA SHOW "Cradle Song." Paramount picturization of a screen play by Marc Connelly, adapted from the stage play by M. Martinig, Siera starring Dorothea Wick, with Sir Guy Standing, Louise Drasser, Evelyn Venable, Kent Taylor, Georgia, Caine, Gertrude Michael, Dickie Moore and Eleanor Wessel will be shown at the Booker 1 theatre for one week beginning Friday, February 2. It is a tender, devout and beautiful version of the G. M. Martinez Sierra play that Marc Connelly, author of "The Green Pastures," has devised for the stellar uses of Dorothea Wieck—a film play that treats sacred subjects reversentially, as is their dues, and traces with delicacy and feeling the struggle that goes on in the breast of a young woman whose life is dedicated to the cloistered sacrifices of self-ablation, but in whose heart all wordly impluses have not died. "Cracle Song" tells the simple story of the spirit of motherhood flowering within the walls of a convent in Spal.

The youthful note of romance is charmingly struck by Evelyn Venable, an ingenious young woman of appealing beauty and great promise whose opportunities are somewhat less restricted than Kent Taylor's in the role of Antonio, whom she finally is to marry. UNCOLN TO SCREEN "Song of Kong," sequester to "King Kong," has struck a stronger note of public appeal that its sensational predecessor. This picture has more thrills but they are treated in a more sympathetic theme than in "King Kong." The new adventure spectacle also includes a powerful romance of two of its human characters, and a menace monster that reveals a heart of gold. According to Ernest B. Schoed-sack, who directed "King Kong" and who holds the same poet for "Son of Kong," the sequel, the terrors dominating the first fantasy have been given a different application in the sequel, the plot of which gets down to a more romantic basis. The plot involves a search for the buried treasures of an ancient and mysterious race which once thrived on an island in imbali by prehistoric monsters. Amidst the LINCOLN THEATRE 1215 YOU ST., N.W.

MORGUE Public Trial of Officer Who Shot Man is Planned By Committee The body of Robert Lewis, a 26-year-old unemployed Negro, shot to death by Officer Southard, white, of the First Precinct, in G Place, Northwest, was cremated last week after his poverty-striken friends and neighbors had tried in vain to raise enough money with which to bury him. Southard claimed he shot Lewis in self-defense after he attempted to arrest him on suspicion and was attacked with a stick. A coroner's jury exonerated the officer. An autopsy by Dr. C. J. Murphy, deputy coroner, revealed that Lewis was ennaciated and suffering from malnutrition at the time he was shot. Only $17.00 Raised The body was carried to the Talbert undertaking establishment and remained there for nine days while interested persons tried to raise a burial fund. They succeeded in securing only $17, although $30 was needed. The League of Struggle for Negro Rights, which investigated the case, offered to raise the money as soon as it was informed of the circumstances. Representatives of the organization visited the undertaking establishment and were informed by Mr. Talbert that he had unsuccessfully attempted to locate the International Labor Defense. In the meantime Lewis' body was returned tc the morgue with a request that it be kept kept for 3 more days while friends sought the money. When the committee got in touch with Mr. Talbert, the latter phoned the morgue but was informed that Lewis had already been cremated. The young man has a mother in Petersburg, Va., but she was unable to raise funds either. Public Trial Planned The League of Struggle for Negro Rights conducted an investigation in the neighborhood following the shooting. The probe tended to show that the officer had been vicious to Lewis and had accosted him several hours before the shooting. Several months previously Southard arrested Lewis on a charge of vagrancy. Although he is reported to have had a part-time job, Lewis was sentenced to serve 60 days in jail. The G Place Workers' Committee Against Police Brutality, the I Street Committee and the League of Struggle for Negro Rights are arranging to hold a public trial this (Thursday) evening, at the McKinley Memorial Baptist Church Fourth and L Streets, Northwest A number of residents of the neighborhood have volunteered to testify at the trial. The jury will be composed of workers selected at the meeting. There is no admission charge. The Consoling Pals held their weekly meeting at the residence of Miss Helen Hopkins, 1203 Third Street, Northwest. Plans for the staging of a social get-tother to be held on February 4 were discussed. Members present: Mrs. Helen Smith, president; Juanita Reed, vice president; Bernice Mallory, secretary; Helen Hopkins, financial secretary; Ruth Smith, treasurer, and Lillian Smith, business manager.

Whitman, of New York, the award for the highest achievement, in 1914, in any field of endeavor. As early as 1920, he began his research work in laboratories outside of the District of Columbia, and for several years, was engaged in work at Woods Hole, Mass., to discover how life actually begins. In 1929, he made his first visit to Europe where he spent seven months in intensive biological research in the famous laboratories of Italy, Germany and France.

GASOLINE PRICE ene Loses 17-Year Job after Wife's Repeated Complaints ESTRANGED, BUT "PUT ON CARPET" FOR ACCUSATIONS Both Helper and Wife Were Employed in Bureau of Engraving Following seventeen years of continuous service in the United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Leroy W. Brickhouse, of 359 I Street, Southwest, was dismissed as a skilled helper, last week, on the blanket charge of "because of conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline," after his estranged wife is reputed to have made certain accusations to officials. Questioned by a representative of THE TURINE regarding his dismissal, Mr. Brickhouse declared that there had been no complaints about his work or conduct during working hours. However, the former government employee accused his wife, Mrs. Lillian M. Brickhouse, an operator at the same Bureau, of 1754 S Street, Northwest, of making prejudicial statements about him following their separation about a year ago. "CALLED ON CARPET" Mrs. Brickhouse, according to the husband, told officials that he was maintaining a separate apartment, although they were estranged, and made other divers charges which he did not detail. Following an investigation of several months, Mr. Brickhouse was "called on the carpet," but attempted no defense, relying on his governmental record. Some time later, on January 6, to be exact, Mr. Brickhouse received a letter from the director to the bureau, A. W. Hill. The terse missive read: "Mr. Leroy Brickhouse: In conformity with the provisions of the department circulated; dated August 5, 1914, I hereby charge you with conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, and unbecoming a government employee THREE DAYS TO ANSWER "Such answer as you may desire to make to these charges must be submitted in writing within three days from the receipt of this communication. If your answer is not sufficient, in my opinion, the matter will be forwarded to the head w' recommendation for your poration from the service. (Signal) A. W. Hill." In discussing the matter, Mr. Brickhouse declared that he did not make a written reply to the charges but made an oral statement to the director. He declined, however, to state the nature of his reply. GIVEN SUSPENSION Matters then dragged along until January 20, when Mr. Brickhouse received two communications from J. E. Harper, the bureau's chief of the division of appointments. One was a suspension and the other was a notice of separation from the service. The first letter read: Mr. Leroy Brickhouse: You been suspended from duty with a skilled halter at 59 as a skilled helper at 10 per hour in the examining of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing from January 19,1934, to January 24, 1934, insensitive, because of conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, (Signed) J. E. Harper, chief of the division of appointments." SERVICE DISCONTINUED The second letter dated on January 20, read: "Mr. Leroy Brickhouse: By direction of the secretary your services as skilled helper at 50 cents per hour in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing have been discontinued with prejudice to take effect at the close of January 24, (Signed) J. E. Harper." The couple was married in 1925, and were buying a home at 2003 Clagett Street, Northeast. Mrs. Brickhouse is understood to be renting the house since the separation. ELECTRIAN BY TRADE Mr. Brickhouse is well known in various Waxington circles and was formerly co nected with the Republic Theatre ir . capacity. He is an electrician by trade, and it is believed that he may follow this line of work. Edward F. Harris, manager of the Raphael Theatre, has returned to the city after a trip to Detroit where he went to attend the funeral if his step-father, James D. Spence. Mr. Spence died Friday and funeral service was held Monday at Bethel A.M.E. Church. Besides Mr. Harris, Mr. Spence is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ella Harris Spence. THE UNITED STATES NEW YORK, (ANP)—In a dispatch to the Chicago Tribune from the Mague Lieut.

Deaths Exceed Birtnz in Washington, 87-81 There were 87 deaths and 81 births among the colored population of the District of Columbia during the week ending on January 20, according to the weekly statistical statement issued by Dr William C. Fowler, District health officer. There were 119 births and 115 deaths among the white group. The birth rate per 1,000 colored population per year was given as 30.8 per cent, that of the whites, 17.3 per cent. The death rate of the colored group was reported to be 33, per cent, that of the whites, 16.7. Heart ailments were the most fatal diseases to the colored group during the weekly period, claiming 22 lives; pneumonia was second with 16; tuberculosis was third with 8; malignant growths and anoplexy claimed 3 lives each. There were 2 homicides among colored during the same week. Ten of the colored dead were under the age of 1, while 4 others were past the age of 70. Discrepancies In Lynch Logs. NEW VORK.—That the figures on lynchings for 1933 released by Walter White of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Dr. Robert Russia. Moton of Tuskegee, carry within themselves proof of the role of these two organizations to cover up the actual number of lynchings, better to halt the huge tide of organized struggle against lynchings, is the charge made by the International Labor Defense. The I.L.D.'s figures, based on careful research throughout the year, show a total of 47 lynchings recorded in 1933. The I.L.D. has made public a detailed statistical analysis, covering every individual lynching reported. The figures published by Dr. Moton and by the N.A.A.C.P. leader, agree in total 28 it was pointed out, but though no actual list of the individual lynchings was released by these organizations, the figures for lynchings by states as announced by them prove even by comparison with each other that both organizations have suppressed the record of many lynchings. The burden of proof is on the one who makes the statement. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY.

LAWYERS UNABLE TO AGREE; MAY TRY CRAWFORD LAWYERS UNABLE TO AGREE; MAY TRY CRAWFORD Virginia Slayer Slated to Face Second Trial Unless Leniency Promised The failure of his counsel and Commonwealth's Attorney John Gallheer, of Loudoun County, representing the prosecution, may mean that George Crawford, already convicted on one murder count, will be required to face trial on a second charge, according to latest developments in the sensational case which involved the stocky Negro and Mrs. Agnes Boeing Isley and her maid, Mrs. Nina Buckner, recently. Dr. Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard University School of Law and chief defense lawyer, made known his intentions to plead Crawford guilty to the murder of Mrs. Buckner provided the prosecution would agree to the same penalty as that met out in the Isley conviction—life imprisonment. Thus far, however, the government attorneys have refused to acquiesce. If the offer is accepted, Crawford's counsel will seek to have him brought to trial after February 15, as a new jury commission will be selected on that date and the defense wishes to wait to see if colored persons are added to the new jury list. Meanwhile, Mr. Houston and his associates have announced they will withdraw their appeal in the Isley case, noted at the time of Crawford's conviction. Appointed Commissioner A. HUBERT T. DELANEY, who was appointed commissioner of the board of taxes and assessments by Mayor Fiorella H. I-1n Guardia, of New York, this week. COMMISSIONERS SEEK POWER TO NAME APPOINTEE COMMISSIONERS SEEK POWER TO NAME APPOINTEE (Continued from page 1) hold the office. Jobs Jeopardized To place the office under the District Commissioners would deprive the race of every vestige of national representation that it has enjoyed since Mr. Douglass. Not only would a white man probably be placed at its head, but the colored clerical assistants would doubtless be removed in keeping with the general policy prevailing throughout the District government bureau. Another measure submitted by the commissioners seeks to increase the fees, and is said to have been approved by the present recorder, Jefferson S. Coage. It was pointed out in a letter of transmittal by the commissioners that the present schedule, adopted in 1904 is insufficient to meet the present operating expenses. $250,000 Surplus In connection with this measure, it might be well to give a brief sketch of the situation. The recorder's office was established on January 5, 1792, being conducted on the fees and emoluments basis until June 30, 1926. At his time, following a survey of the finances, the Bureau of Efficiency placed the office upon an appropriation basis. Prior to the placing of the office of the recorder on the appropriation status, there was annually turned over or covered into the Federal treasury, a surplus, the aggregate of which in 1926, amounted to approximately $250,000. Since the office has been operating on the new basis, an annual deficit has occurred. This annual deficit is due to the fact that the rate of fees charged in 1904 remains the same at the present time, while the rate of pay to clerks has increased about 127 per cent. For example, in 1904, a deed was recorded for 95 cents, while the clerk who recorded it was receiving a salary of $900 per annum. Today, that same clerk receives a salary of $2,000, an increase of approximately 127 per cent, but the cost of recording the instrument has not changed. Favors New Change Mr. Coage is reported to have recommended the measure calling for the correction of this discrepancy and placing the office on a sustaining basis. As a public official, he has placed the office on a high plane of efficiency, as attested by the public's satisfaction, that of the General Accounting Office, to which he makes periodic statements, and that of the United States Treasury officials, to whom he makes reports. At present, a recorder is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and certainly the colored group should be desirous of having the procedure retained. So far as the views of various observers are concerned, the transfer of the recorder's office to the control of the district government will probably cost them their present opportunity for self-expression. THE JOHN STEWART MEMORIAL M.E. CHURCH "Doing Our Best," is the topic of the senton to be delivered by the Rev. Eugene Williams, Sunday morning, at the John Stewart Memorial Church, Southwest.

A most gorgeous spectacle wee hours of the morning. The la of our city, left nothing undone in portable and the evening one long The city has been humming with social activities during the past week. Teas, box parties, banquets, receptions, dances, cocktail parties and what not. There were many socially prominent or popular, who were seen mingling with the crowds at more than one of the activities. Unfortunately was she who had only one frock for she must necessarily decline the many invitations tendered her. This condition, however, seemed not to prevail, for afternoon and evening frocks were changed with ease. The smart afternoon frock set off with frills and fancies which was featured at many luncheons and teas as quickly exchanged for the formal gown with low cut back and the high cut front neck-line with a dashing jewelled-pin to either side. Of course velvets, brocades, taffetas, and crepe were all in evidence at the evening affairs. First, It us take a peep into the Lincoln Colonnade, where the Beta Chapter, Phi Delta Kappa, entertained their friends on last Friday evening. A most gorgeous spectacle as lords and ladies danced until the wee hours of the morning. The ladies, representing the teacher group of our city, left nothing undone in trying to make their friends comfortable and the evening one long to be remembered. The early part of last Friday evening, the A.K.A. girls made up a jolly box party and were guests at the Lincoln Theatre to extend a hearty welcome to Miss Etta Moten, who is appearing in person on the stage. Miss Moten is a member of the A.K.A., having graduated from the University of Kansas. She is also taking a prominent part in the picture, "Flying Down to Rio," appearing at the Lincoln Theatre. On Sunday evening, the A.K.A. also tendered Miss Moten a reception at the Y.W.C.A., where she was able to meet and be with her many friends and admirers. She has been dined and feted lavishly during her stay here, which has certainly left a very lasting favorable impression of the capital city people and their hospitality. The banquet tendered Judge Cobb at the Whitelaw Hotel on last Friday evening was well attended. The toasts and speeches given by those present were evidences of the high esteem in which he is held by his friends and associates. Saturday evening, social Washington turned out to the party given by Mesdames Thelma Ackiss and Vivian Lane at the former's home. Many out-of-town guests were present. Was the party a success, and did those attending have fun? Ask anyone who was there—I say they did. The Cinderellas, a club composed of some of Washington's most popular young ladies, have issued invitations for their annual reception on this Friday, February 2, at the Lincoln Colonnade. The affair promises to be one of the high lights of the season. The club is composed of Marguerite Adams, Kern Blackburn, Edwina Brown, Ruth Bunche, Edith Cann, Una Fletcher, Laverne Gregory, Elizabeth Johnson, Beatrice Martin, Alta Sumby, Ethel Terrell, Avis Terry, Vivian Wilkinson, Colleen Williams, and Elizabeth Williamson. The "Birthday Party Dance" in honor of President Roosevelt's birthday was held at Masonic Temple on Tuesday evening. Grant Lucas and a committee of prominent Washingtonians sponsored the affair. More next week. The seniors of Armstrong High School held their graduation prom on last Saturday evening in the cafeteria of the school. Louis Brown and his orchestra furnished music. All faculty members were present. Charles Lane, formerly of Washington, but now of New York City, was a visitor in the city over the week-end. 'Billboard' Jacks It Gives Foreign 'Billboard' Jackson Tells Harlem It Gives Foreigners $30,000,000 NEW YORK, (ANP)—"Harlem offers the most splendid opportunity for Negroes to prove their ability to help them serve" declared James A. Jackson, former Business Specialist with the United States Department of Commerce and now executive secretary Harlem Business, Professional and Consumers' Association. The occasion was the 71st Anniversary Celebration of the Emancipation held at St. Mark's M. E. Church, 139th Street and Edgecombe Avenue, last Sunday at 3:00 p.m. Mr. Jackson was the principal speaker, and spoke on the theme: "The Second Emancipation of the Negro." The meeting was under the auspices of the Llyceum. "This new Harlem must be achieved by way of the pulpit" according to Mr. Jackson, "No message reaches the Negro effectively that does not bome over the pulpit or have the sanction of the ministry, for they control the avenues of approach to the Negro mind as our society is organized today." Mr. Jackson then described the history of the Negro's emancipation through the schools, home ownership, politics, professions and welfare work, the latter being necessary, he said, but comparing its value to our progress as "the difference between an auto repair shop and a factory. Just as we improve the economic condition of the race the real need of contributary support will diminish." Has Visited 722 Cities "Here in Harlem, we have more nearly a fair chance than anywhere I know and I say that after seeing conditions in 722 cities and towns during the past 35 years.

Miss Fairfax Green, vice-president, is sponsoring a supper dance on Saturday evening, February 3, from 5 until 10 o'clock, at No. 1 Logan Circle, Northwest. Louis Brown's orchestra will furnish music. Mrs. Marie Winston Chavers, formerly of this city, but now of New York City, is the house guest of her cousin, Mr. and Mrs. William Dixon in Glendale. Mrs. Chavers is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Winston, old residents of the city. Mrs. Nora L. Gibson, of 1341 T Street, Northwest, is confined at Freedmen's Hospital on account of illness. Mrs. Leslie Spears Butler, of South Hampton, was called home on account of the illness of her brother, John I. Spears. Mattie Clark Thompson, of 1212 Irving Street, Northwest, was hostess to her card on last Saturday. The Dr. Z. Barney Phillips, of the Epiphany Church, was the guest minister at St. Luke's P.E. Church, on last Sunday evening. An appreciative congregation was present to hear Dr. Phillips, who is an extremely interesting speaker. The choir rendered special music. The services were under the auspices of the music guild of the church, Mrs. Estelle Coffey Young, chairman. The Community Committee of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. is having a social hour in honor of Mrs. Cordella Winn, and Miss Marion Cuthbert, at the Y.W.C.A., on Saturday, February 3. Duke Ellington and his orchestra are in town and as usual they have been entertained lavishly during their stay here. Parties here and there have been staged every night. A testimonial and reception was held in their honor at the Crystal Caverns on last Sunday evening, with Carl Deane, Alonzo Collins, and William Poindexter as sponsors. "Harlem provides $30,000,000 to divide between those who own the stores, most of whom are foreigners, and those who work for them. In other words, we support and maintain approximately 12,000 merchants and 18,550 salespeople." Mr. Jackson then closed his talk by outlining the general objectives of a Trade Association, having a three fold view of serving the business man, the professional groups and the consuming public. Dr. Wallace Battles, of the Episcopal church followed Mr. Jackson with some pointed remarks on "Re-Thinking our Problem." Dr. King summed up in his usual effective manner by declaring, "The days of our 'Old Black Joes' are gone forever. We need new, red blooded fighting men who will sacrifice their very lives for the things they know to be right. We must for us what we are too lazy to do for us what we are too lazy to do ourselves." Music was furnished by the Virgin Island band. Cleveland G. Highest to the Lowest All in Three Minutes Attorney Berry W. Howard went from the sublimie to the ridiculous in his three-minute talk before a banquet gathering paying homage to Judge James A. Cobb, in the Whitelaw Hotel Dining Room, last Friday night. Starting his talk in a fashion which played havoc with the vocabulary if even the most learned listener present, Attorney Howard finished with the joke about the woman who complained of an inability to sit down after having had skin grafter for a face-lifting operation.

TOLD HE SHOULD HAVE RISEN TO FLOOR OF HOUSE (Continued from page 1) House of Representatives not to rise to a question of 'personal privilege' on the matter of the insult offered to your people through the barring of your secretary from the House of Representatives' restaurant. "Our contention is that had you risen on the floor of Congress and demanded from the Speaker to be heard on a question of personal privilege" that the Speaker would have been forced to have asked you to state that question. . . . That question takes precedence over all other questions and demands an immediate ruling by the presiding officer. Having stated your question the Speaker would have either refused to have heard you further in the matter of a motion or such other relief as you had demanded or he would have referred your question to the House for immediate disposition. Right of Appeal "Had you pressed your point and he had denied your request, then you had the right of appeal from the decision of the chair. When you refused to rise on your feet and demand a hearing on the question of personal privilege" you of course gave Chairman Rainey the opportunity to refer the matter to a committee which of course is to have it deferred and your great objective fatefully jeopardized, to say the least. . . "We do not dispute that the rules of Congress may not consider such an insult to your office as a personal insult to you." There can be no dispute, however, that you could have and that you should have risen to your feet on the floor of Congress and demanded to be heard on the question of high personal privilege." By not so doing you compromised the rights of your people and you surrendered when there was a glorious opportunity for a DECISION upon the part of Congress on the equal rights of your people in this republic." And so the matter stands as we go to press. TRIO OF NEGROES RECEIVE MEDICAL LICENSES Three Colored Men Boast High Averages Among 18 Successful Candidates Three Negroes, James E. Walker, Thomas A. Williston and Lionel H. Maloney, were among the 18 successful candidates for licenses to practice medicine in this city, according to announcements of the Commission on Licenses, late last week. All emerged from the tests with high averages. Dr. Walker, son of the late Major James E. Walker, U.S.A., led the colored candidates with an average of 91.6, one of the highest among the group. Dr. Williston's average of 85.7 was also among the leaders. Both have made known their intentions to practice here. Efforts to reach Dr. Maloney had failed up to a late hour Wednesday. The examinations were held in two separate tests. The first of these took place on December 28 and 29, and the second was held on January 8 and 9. Both Dr. Walker and Dr. Williston are graduates of the Howard University School of Medicine. Dr. Maloney completed his medical studies at the University of Indiana. AGED HOUSE CAFE HEADWAITER SUCCUMBS Herbert Greene Dies Following Heart Attack in His Home Funeral services for Herbert Greene, for many years headwaiter in the House of Representatives Restaurant, were held this morning (Thursday) in solemn high mass, at the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. The Rev. Father John J. Albert acted as celebrant, and the Rev. Fathers Lawrence Schaefer and Edward McAteer, served as deacon and sub-deacon respectively. Mr. Greene died suddenly following a heart attack, Monday. Death occurred while he was alone in his room at 1325 Twelfth Street, Northwest, where he made his residence. He had been ailing for the past year. Huge floral tributes covered the casket of the beloved Number One waiter of the House Cafe. Many of them were from admirers whom he had served. Many others were from members of Congress, who had learned to respect him during his long term of years of efficient service. He was affectionately called "Herbert" by many of the famous statesmen of the House in the present generation. He served the late Uncle Jor Cannon, the last so-called czar of the House. The late Speakers Champ Clark, Nicholas Longworth and other powers in the House always preferred Herbert. He arranged special parties for them for their guests. Vice-President Garner, when Speaker of the House, always had Herbert to supervise luncheons given in the speakers' dining room. Speaker Rainey had followed that practice. Herbert was a bachelor, but he called the two score waiters under him "children."

W. HAYES A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. peeeera ee’ Ne \ ‘The above maxim explains, I believe, the lukewarm attitude taken toward the New Negro Alliance by the mujority of the older conserva- tive business men whom represertatives of this progressive group have approached. These men, ard some of the women, just cannot see eye to eye with the viewpoint of the younger generation. They should be ieft alone for a while, and when they make up their minds they will be the group's staunchest sitpporters providing the N.N.A. continues to gain results throuzh intelligent concentration of forces and pooling of resources and at the sume time successfully combat any tendency to- ward radicalism. ~ “Self preservation is the first law of nature. The above maxini accounts, in a large measure, I believe, for the recent resignations of Messrs, Wilkinson, Long and Cobb from the ad- yisory board of the group. ‘These ‘men ave interested in progress of Negroes and in organi- zations of this type, hut do not wish to jeopardize their positions un- necessarily by having the geneval public know of their affiliation with an organization which might engage in some activity which would cast undue aspersion on then. Experience has taught them the wisdom of this course, ‘They will, I think, give the group financial and moral as- sistance, but keep théir names of of official stationery, So much for this group, f eleiee le William. Hastie, special assistant to the Solicitor of the Department of the Interior, who is active ia the New Negro Alliance, seems to be a colossal waste of time, money and energy, Acting Administrator Al- hert Demond sent out. about fifteen days ago, letters to more than 175 ministers of the Distriet cctting forth the aim of the Alliance and its plan to make Sunday, January 2°, 1934, New Negro Alliance Day, and asking them to permit the organization to send one or more speakers to explain the organizrtianal set-up or asking them to preach a sermon, not necessarily on the New Negro Alliance, but simply, on improving the economic status of tae Negra. Not more than ten have even given him the courtesy of an answer (at. this writing) and three of them were Episcopal, who informed him that no-announcement of that type could be made from their nuinit. It is a violation of their regulations, I understand. Since ministers are supported by the public, it appears to me that any movement which wil! improve the economic status of the Public should get their support. But no, one or two of the members inight become so enthused as to divert a dime or two from the collection plate: Obviously, that would never do. I promised not to cail_names in this issue, but I must necessarily break my promise to compliment Elder Michaux, the Rev. R. W. Brooks, the Rev. Blmes, the Rev Ei. C, Smith, of Metropolitan Baptist Chureh, and the Rev, A. §. Youag, for their efforts to assist this group even before we asked them. 5 The writer, who was born of hard rock Baptist parentage, and whose middle initials, J. W., stand for a pillar of Methodism, and who is even now pursuing curses in the School of Religion of Howard Uni- versity, agrees with Frofessor John Dewey, who recently urged that thought and enerzy which has gone to religion be directed to the bet- terment of human relations seer The New Negro Alliance is iaunching a membership drive begin- ning January 26, and lasting through, I believe, February 3. To perfect their organization 6,283 people exe needed. So far, according to an article in their official organ, the New Negro Opinion, 22 people have heen doing the work which will tax to a certain extent the strength of 6,000. I shall give the names cf these 22 at the completion of this article. The writer, who has done little or nothing to date, except pay his dues, and interest three or four persons who have since become active workers, has purposely kept his activities down to the minimum until he was satisfied as to certain developments of the organization. It might be interesting to relate those developments since some prospec~ tive member might want the same points cleared up. I first wanted to know who organized the N.N.A. and why? I learned that a young man whose name is John Aubrey Davis is given credit for originating the idea. Mr. Davis, who though still holding the title of administrator, is away at college. ‘I wondered then if the chief idea was to get jobs, who would be given the jobs, and what compen- sation would come to the Alliance. To my great surprise, I learned that it is a sort of unwritten law that no member of the Alliance may be given a job secured hy the Alliance, no person for whom a job is eecured is even asked to join, and the Alliance has nothing to say as to whom the job is given. Its only consideration is that the employee be competent and colored. I admit that I am a skeptic. I waited to see what would happen when the treasury swelled a little. The treasury rose some $200 or so as the result of a dance staged under the capable supervision of Jimmie (Omega Psi Phi) Ward, who with Dutton Fer- guson, were the first N.N.A. martyrs. They were arrested for picket- ing. The legal-staff headed by William Hastie, Belford Lawson, Jr., and Edward Lovett so ably represented the N.N.A. that the case was thrown out. ‘ Just about this time the exeentive council made two big mistakes. The first was made when during a rather heated discussion as to the best strategy to use in connection with a certain project, a member of the council unwisely and ill-timely raised the point that Mr. Lovett was not technically a member of the council and practically threw him out. The point which Mr. Lovett was attempting to make was disregarded, end as.a result the Alliance embarked on one of its few projects which failed. Another mistake was made when the couneil failed to properly show appreciation for the work and effort which Mr, Ward expended in making our first dance a success. J ‘The-third major mistake the Alliance is about to make, unless some readjustments.ave made, is in trying to carry on its activities through inadequate publicity. ‘Too many people who are interested in the’ work of the Alliance con't know what it is all about, and half of the'members of the publicity division have difficulty in gaining access te the records. There have even been instances where plans and strate- gy for two or three man‘h< to come have been worked out and members of the publicity commitice have been told that they would learn about it at the next meeting. That is as foolish as making plans to build a bridge without the advice of an engineer. __ ‘There are two other possible mistakes which the N.N.A. officials might make. The first is to forget, for a minute, that if the organiza- tion is to live it must have the support of all of the people. If it is to have the support of all of the people it must do two things. First it must explain its aim and plans to all of the people so that they will know what is what. Second. they must maintain the respect of all the People. Everybody is talking about. how smoothly, the organization works. How different it is from the older organizations of a similar natre. One little thing the N.N.A. can do which it is not doing ix to start meetings on time nad let cut on'time. “If it accomplishes tts, thus making null and void the o!4 idiom “C.

The crew on board had plotted mutiny. One captain, in the midst of all this strife, Had left the ship to struggle for its life. A ship like ours was built for heavy seas, And crews who join her cargo could appease. At such a time, on such a scene, you came, When all on board the ship were in despair. You took the wheel and by the great North Star. The crew on board had plotted mutiny. One captain, in the midst of all this strife, Had left the ship to struggle for its life. A ship like ours was built for heavy seas, And crews who join her cargo could appease. At such a time, on such a scene, you came, When all on board the ship were in despair. You took the wheel and by the great North Star, You're steering the ship far clear of reef and bar. E'en though the ship is riding heavy seas, The crew on board is feeling more at ease. We like a captain, who in times like these, Stands at the helm regardless of the seas. Whose eye is always fixed on the Great Star, Whose course must lead us safe from reef and bar. God grant that all on board shall live to see Our ship of State brought safely into port. God bless the captain, who in times like these, Would save our ship a priceless heritage God bless the captain, who in times like these, Would save our ship a priceless heritage wrought. Dedicated to President Franklin D. Roosevelt on his fifty-second birthday, January 30, 1934. A copy was sent to the President, in which stated that this poem makes vocal the many heart throbs of gratitude which exists in and omanates from the bosoms of millions of forgotten men who are now feeling and enjoying the effects of the New Deal. BENJAMIN T. MONTGOMERY. 401 Thirteenth St. S.E. Writer Answers Query of Hoffman in Regards to Prof. Charles Thomas. To the Editor: In a letter appearing in The Tribune of January 25, Mr. E. Hoffman, referring to the appearance of Prof. Charles M. Thomas before the joint hearing of the Senate and House District Committees considering local liquor control legislation, asks "Who did he represent?" "Whom did he represent?" a strange query in view of the illuminating news story that filled almost the entire first column on page two of The Tribune of January 11.

Henry Ford has been the Negroe's greatest industrial benefactor, employing Negroes on the quota basis, and allowing them to do whatever their abilities can command. Under a Facist state production is regulated by the government through capital and organized labor. The emergency powers conferred upon President Roosevelt are facistic in character, which our industrial and economic impasse makes inevitable. Democracy must needs be adjourned, or at least suspended, until the emergency is passed. Under a Facist state production is regulated by the government through capital and organized labor.

"Behind the Mark of Dictators," illustrated by the likenesses of Stalin, Musilini and Hitler. It might well have added another—Franklin D. Roosevelt. The only difference between him and the former three is that they have assumed the role of the dictator as a permanent mode, while American democracy has conferred it upon Roosevelt for a definite period.

A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT AT TIMES NEEDS A DICTATOR Democratic government must needs resort to dictatorship in times of emergency as was instanced in the case of Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War and Woodrow Wilson in the World War. But the powers of the dictator did not survive the duration of the emergency. Just how long our existing economic emergency will last; no one has the wisdom to foresee, and therefore it is impossible to prophesy the duration of the dictatorship. It is too ambitious for the limited purpose of this release to attempt to determine the effect of his dictatorship upon the economic future of the nation nor yet how far it will modify our democratic traditions and pretensions. My chief concern is to point out the effect upon the industrial and economic lot of the Negro. It is the acting principle of facism to regulate, if not to control production through the co-ordination of capital and organized labor. The task is comparatively simple where all labor is eligible to organization. But in America black labor is not acceptable to white labor organizations.

The task is comparatively simple where all labor is eligible to organization. But in America black labor is not acceptable to white labor organizations. FORD HAS BEEN FAIR WITH NEGROES A representative of Henry Ford, presumably voicing the sentiment of his chief, is reputed to have said that organized labor is the greatest enemy of the Negro. Mr. Ford has been the Negro's greatest industrial benefactor, employing Negroes on the quota basis and allowing them to do whatever their abilities can command. He has not been restrained by the intolerant exactions of organized labor, which at once fell swoop, shuts out the black competitor. The government does not, and probably will not engage to direct the purpose of union labor in this racial respect. It is apt to leave labor and capital unhindered in their customary preregatives but will confine its concern to seeing that there shall be no wasteful friction to frustrate production. When the government announced intention to take over the management of the railroads during the period of the World War, the American Negro Academy was then in session in the city of Washington. I was authorized to indite a telegram to President Wilson to the effect that the government should see to it that there should be no discrimination among American citizens so far as passenger traffic was concerned under government operation. This telegram was never answered. As a matter of fact the government adopted the policy that it would not interfere with existing racial regulations. JIM-CROW CARS DURING WORLD-WAR During the War, jim-crow cars rolled unquestioned on railroad lines under government operation. The NRA does not question the prerogative of labor unions to include or exclude whomever they will, nor yet of capital to employ or refuse to employ whomever it will. Thus under government dictatorship, however kindly it may be disposed to the Negro, and however justly it may insist upon a square deal for all employees, still the Negro is left out in the cold with an empty dinner pail to hold without contest to fill his empty stomach Labor no longer has the incentive to encourage Negro workers to form their own racial units, because there is no longer work enough for all. Capital has no further incentive to employ Negro workmen because they are cheaper, for the government forbids this. Neither is it constrained to employ Negro workmen as a foil to hold white workmen in check. The government will do this. GOVERNMENT IS PITYING—BUT IMPOTENT Lo, the poor Negro is left knocking at the door of labor and of capital, while the government looks on with a pitying but an impotent eye. There is not work for all. The marginal worker is threatened with extermination. Not feeling able to cope with the unjust exactions of race prejudice or to wipe out race distinction in employment, the policy of Henry seems wisest. Give the Negro a quota according to his numbers and adaptability so that industrial opportunities will be evenly distributed throughout the population. (Where there is sight then the heart must yield) A laughing girl of a golden sheen Gathering flowers in a daisy field? Still, a country lass with skin of brown Has little polish and little name, And the brown girl dancing in the busy town Will put the rural maid to shame. Except—I carry this thought with me At home or whether I travel abroad: If you want to see Beauty's apogee. And the brown girl dancing in the busy town Will put the rural maid to shame.

Whites Study the Negro With Objectivity BY CARTER G. WOODSON. of Washington D.C., Editor of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in Our History," "The Mis-Education of the Negro," and "The Negro Professional Man." As a result of the activities developing with the observance of Negro History Week beginning on the 11th of February, a number of whites have reported on their studies of the Negro. When we hear that a white man is thus addressing himself to the investigation of our race we usually shudder, for we expect to be misrepresented or slandered. We think immediately of how despitefully we have been used by Thomas Jesse Jones, T. J. Wooftor, W. D. Weatherford, and Jerome Dowd. Even when such investigators declare themselves open minded, these fears still linger with us, for they usually end with their productions worked out to the contrary. Laxity of Text-Books Hindrance to Teachers "There is at least, then, so foundation for the charge that scientific science instruction in schools does more to intensify the to eliminate race prejudice. E where teachers desire to treat race question with fairness, they are often unable to do so because of lack of written data, easily able for them, with which to lumine and intensify their instruction. "The situation being, as it is, proposed to establish a Committee for the Consideration of Race titudes in the Schools. The committee should be small—five seven people—and should be c Striking examples of these are before us today. Hankins started out in his treatment to disprove the inferiority of the races but ended by "proving this fallacy." G. P. Jackson undertook the study of spirituals to show that the Negro never had enough originality to make any such contribution. Donald Young undertook the discussion of minority groups in America only to prove that the Negro minority is the least of the minorities. And so they go on forever. These newcomers, however, claim that they see the picture from a new point of view. A white professor of LeMoyne College, in Memphis, announces a new ethnological map of Africa as the result of prolonged study with the assistance of his wife. In his teaching of the African background he has endeavored to supply the need for definite knowledge of the location of the tribes and of the racial classification according to language culture grouping. In the study of the Negro he would begin with Africa rather than with the northwestern part of Germany where most teachers of Negroes commence. Northern Teacher Wants Negro History Data On reading the Negro History Week Pamphlet a white principal in charge of a Northern city school with sixty per cent of the pupils Negroes, says, "I am very much interested in the Negro question, and as I read the thought occurred to me that perhaps with your help I might prepare a series of lectures or talks on the Negro race which might be looked upon with favor by the educational authorities as an 'alertness' course which is compulsory for teachers. I realize that it might take me a year or two prepare it, but even at that it would be a step in the right direction. I would need literature enough to cover thirty lectures of a course of thirty hours." To improve interracial relations a Harvard professor would get down out of the air and would tackle the problem in the schoolroom, especially in methods and text-books used in teaching social science. He says, "The task of securing harmonious and understanding race relations is a basic problem in the United States. It is a task which must be borne, in part, by the schools and especially by those in the schools who have the responsibility for teaching the social sciences. Today the schools are not handling the task with full recognition of its importance and its implications. History classes often leave the impression that Negroes are only 'freed slaves,' with all the unfortunate characteristics that the term 'slave' connotes. Only rarely does the history book give adequate recognition of the rise of the 'new Negro'; almost never are the achievements of Negroes in finance, in the professions, in the art, even mentioned. To a large extent the same situation holds true in respect to text-books in books, in sociology, and in the other social sciences. Think It Over BEATRICE M. MURPHY Think It Over BEATRICE M. MURPHY 一 Dear Mary: A well known comedian on the radioutters a word in speaking of the Negro, and a race jumps up in arms. They call it an insult. They threaten to boycott the radio station, the comedian, and the company sponsoring the program. And that, my dear, is the narrow-minded race to which you and I belong; a race which calls an Italian a wop or a dago; the Chinaman a chink, the members of the Caucasian race ofays, and speaks scornfully of the "dirty Jew." A race which can laugh at and appreciate a joke on any one else in the world but is ready to commit murder when the joke is turned on it. A race which isn't gracious enough to accept a sinene apology; which is too small to rise above what is considered an insult but has to grovel in the dust with the person who uttered it; which is so color conscious that it thinks Negro, feels Negro, and acts Negro; which is so ignorant as to forget that first of all it is composed of people who are men and women first. Ameri- Luxity of Text-Books Hindrance to Teachers "There is at least, then, some foundation for the charge that social science instruction in the schools does more to intensify than to eliminate race prejudice. Even where teachers desire to treat the race question with fairness, they are often unable to do so because of lack of written data, easily available for them, with which to illumine and intensify their instruction. "The situation bein; as it is, it is proposed to establish a Committee for the Consideration of Race Attitudes in the Schools. The committee should be small—five or seven people—and should be composed of representatives of both black and white races. Its membership should be primarily of school teachers, but scholarship as reflected at the college level should be represented on it. The committee should be the best small group of people, interested in the problem of race relations, and highly intelligent concerning the teaching of social science in the schools, which can be brought together. "The following four lines of work may be tentatively outlined: 1. To formulate a clear, brief statement of the problem of teaching interracial understandings in the United States and of the basic importance of the problem. 2. To make a thorough-going survey of the treatment accorded Negroes and race relations in general in the social-science curriculums of schools in this country. This involves analysis of text-books, courses of study, and all other available teaching aids. 3. To formulate a series of practical suggestions for the improvement of social-science curriculums in respect to their recognition of treatment of interracial matters. 4. To prepare a brief summary of the kind of content material (information about Negro achievements in arts and sciences; good examples of interracial co-operations and understandings, etc.) with which teachers should be familiar. Further Instructions for Compiling Data "Much of the work of the committee should be handled by individual members, or carried on by selected students in research centers. But to integrate the work of the committee and to strengthen its position, there should be a series of meetings or conferences of the committee as a whole. The committee's report should not be merely a collection of individual essays or undigested data, but should be a well-thought-through and broadly integrated statement of a group conclusion. "The findings of the committee should not be pedantic, but should be practical, and should be widely disseminated, though without blatant publicity. It would be desirable to present all the findings in a small pamphlet to be distributed broadcast to as many social science teachers throughout the country as can be reached. "This proposal, thus briefly and tentatively sketched, if carried out in good spirit, may offer material of the greatest value to those who make the social-science curriculum as well as to those who teach it. The work of the committee is not to rest on sentimentality. The proposal involves both educational research of a high nature and the application of research data in the form of specific suggestions of social scientists engaged in school work. The committee might, through the processes of education, be one means by which interracial prejudices may be lessened and interracial understandings and appreciations intensified." can citizens second, and last and least important. Negroes; which walks around with a chip on its shoulders so big and cumbersome that it impedes its own progress and punches in the eye everyone who might come near enough to tighten it; which is inconsistent enough to resent an insult uttered by uncultered comedian and yet spends hundreds of dollars for the benefit of a sanatorium in a Southern state which probably wouldn't allow a Negro to cross its threshold if he were dying of infantile paralysis. A race which keeps itself in the gutter with its black faced comedians and its smushy jokes and yet expects the world to respect it. If the Negro resents hearing himself spoken of in disparaging terms, why doesn't he curb his remarks about the other fellow? Why doesn't he stop laughing at the expense of making the other races feel uncomfortable? Why doesn't he keep himself out of the gutter? The Morning Star Drill Team and Auxiliary of Forrest Temple, No. 9, met Friday night. The team will hold its first ball and pageant on February 16 SPECIAL FEATURES Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell IN THE WEEK'S NEWS Our only Congressman, the Hon- crable Oscar DePriest, Republican representative from the first Illinois Congressional district, was the ouchly publicized in the white press as well as our own during the week. One thing is certain and that is our Congressman will not let the abridgement of any of our rights or privileges go unchallenged. And we need hardly worry whether his secretary, Morris Lewis, will be denied further service in the Congressional restaurant despite what the gentleman from North Carolina says or thinks about the matter. Chicago is not the only large center where our people are waging a bitter internal political fight. Philadelphia is in the throes of political unrest and the only Negro committeeman there is about to be taken for a ride that will unseat him, if his opponents have their way. It was only about a year ago when everyone was enthusiastically fettering the rise of that particular political achievement. A colored man, in Chicago, Perry C. Thompson, editor and publisher of the Chicago Review, and also the Bronzeman, will no doubt make the race for state central committeeman on the Democratic ticket. The best bit of constructive paid for racial advertising during the month of January was that displayed by the eight colored banks who are members of the Federal Insurance Deposit Fund. Their advertisements appeared throughout the East, South, and Middle West, simultaneously. Considering the size of the paper, its resources, etc., the Gary American, published in Gary, Indiana, has the cleanest advertising columns, free from all objectionable, tips, lucky charms, lucky incense, and other forms of copy that appeals to the credulousness of the race. Each week I shall try to give national mention of some one of our papers who have and are following a conscientious advertising policy even at the expense of losing lucrative returns on a class of advertising that should be "taboo" in our columns. In Chicago, while some firms are meeting reverses, the strong and well-managed Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company is opening its third agency office, on Chicago's west side, for the benefit of their west side agent and numerous west side policyholders. This same firm operates in twelve states and gives employment to over six hundred field agents. Readers throughout the country who read the releases sent out by Allan McMillan last week may not know that this sudden popularity and success of Allan is due to the lift that he received from one of our successful race business men in New York. W. C. Handy, of the nuic publishing house bearing his name, 1589 Broadway, New York, and composer of the "St. Louis Blues," "picked" Allan McMillan up when the troupe and Handy were playing with performed at the Chicago Theatre and took Allan to New York with him where he can be found in Mr. Handy's office. peculiarly enough I was back-stags with both Mr. Handy and Mr. McMillan, the very day and time they "hooked up."

The issue is a detailed interpretation of the work of Tuskegee Institute and was done at the invitation and suggestion of Dr. E.

EATON Will we awaken and grasp the opportunity while it presents itself, or will we slumber while a more business-like race reaps the harvest? The Negro's greatest draw-back in business is his failure to recognize the meaning and importance of the "word" that is so necessary in all vocations—"foresight." Without foresight, we fail sometimes to grasp certain opportunities in business that may in time lead to an independent economic standing. We are now overlooking one good business possibility. We are failing to conceive the advantage of publishing Negro daily papers in place of weeklies. The reward derived from such a project, and its effect upon the unemployment condition existing in our educated group here, would be amazing. A number of college men and women would find avenues open to them that do not exist at present. Then, too, we must be prudent and take advantage of the opportunity before a more industrious race beats us to it. In a few Southern cities we already have some competition. A few white publishers have set aside certain pages in their papers that carry nothing but "Negro News." In these localities Negro weeklies are not very popular. Above all, we must watch the Jew. He is the one we must beat to the idea. So far, he has not ventured into that particular field. He has been concentrating in other lines of business that cater to Negro trade, such as jewelry, clothing and grocery stores. Here of late, he succeeded in getting control of all the large theatres in the city that are supported solely by the colored people of Washington. It is true, he has given employment to many Negroes. I grant him that credit, but the money that he pays as wages to his Negro employees is only a small percentage of the total sum of money that is drained from the pockets of colored customers. The greatest amount remains in the pocket of the Jew to make him picker—than Negroes. Well, you may contend that you wouldn't买 a Negro daily paper published by a white man or Jew. I think you would. Why? Because the same principle that exists in the theatre business would hold true in the daily paper business. It is a known fact that we do not freely patronize the little Negro-owned theatres because they carry or show pictures that we may have seen six months previous at the Jewish-owned house. Negro weeklies would take the same course that the Negro-owned theatres are now taking, if the Jew ever decides to venture into the journalistic business and publish Negro daily papers. Negro weeklies would then become obsolete informers. Their end would be inevitable with such competition. But let us not permit such a thing to happen. Let us grasp the opportunity while it is ours. When your competitor or enemy beats you to the point, the battle is even more bitter. So let us start while the starting is good. Let's have a Washington daily paper for Negroes—by Negroes. The Negroes in Atlanta, Ga., publish one. Why can't we? Come Clean By Jonathan Cover A worthy phrase but homely is "Come Clean" It means to act with kindness and be just. That the rays of truth may ever beam And bare to scorn each jealous thrust. It matters not who is the guy— Whethes newly met or old-time friend, "Come Clean" to allmen should apply To all be fair, each right defend. The rule is hard and some it seems Prefer the small and meaner way, "Come Clean" may haunt them in their dreams But means nothing to them in the day. Today, opportunity is pounding for admittance but most of us are either too timid or too sleepy to open the door. People are interested when you can show them a way to make a profit. Until you try you cannot determine if a thing will be a success or a failure. Many fine ideas pass into oblivion because their inventors can find no way to make them profitable. BEST.

No, of course, she isn’t a “veal and traly” dean. But little Miss Ollie Cooper seems so dependable and so altogether necessary that— well, just ask any of Washington's “legal lights,” those that are blaz- ing bright; those that are flaming, but dimly; and those whose little “sparks” ‘are just beginning to “flicker,” and they will tell you a lot of nice things about Dean Coop- er. She wouldn't tell you a word herself. She is just that modest. Why, at the Bar Association's banquet for Judge Cobb last week the little dean was called to a place of honor at the table. Speaking of it later she laughingly said, “It was the red, red dress I wore, They wouldn't even have scen me other- wise.” Of course what she :aid wasn't so, but it does prove how wonder- ful Dean Cooper really is. sree Surely no onera singer making a first-night appearance could take ner role more seriously than tiny Yvonne Chinn, 413 M Street, North- east, as she sang her little part in 4 junior choir a Sunday or s0 ago. tees What a lucky streak for theatre- goers this week! Down town its the “Duke” and his “Rhythm” (and is Washington proud of her son?) Uptown it’s the “Moten girl,” “Flying Down to Rio.” And when the lovely lady sings (by request) “My Forgotten Man,” you do a lit- tle forgetting yourself. You do a great deal of it, Indeed you for- get everything (for the moment, at least) except the fascinating singer and her song, No wonder you failed to find any of the New Orleans University Club members at home last Friday eve- ning. They. were all rushing ove: to the “Braziers,” 1801 First Street, Northwest, to meet Dean Hayes, of "N.0.U.” (New Orleans Univer: sity). It's really too bad the good dean had only an hour between trains, because after he left there really was no excuse for the other guests tv stay, And you know and T know, too ,that jolly Dy. Brazier and his charming wife make every- thing so pleasant for all who enter their doors that anytime you leave (even if it's a “wee small hour” or maybe almost breakfast time) you're buund to have regrets. What clever hostesses the wives of some of Washington's ministers do make!. There’ lovely Mrs. Mat- thews, wife of Bishop W. W. Mat- thews, for instance, With the ar- tistically arranged parlors of her spacious home, No. 9 Iowa Circle, as the setting and with the mem- bers of, the Ministers’ ‘Wives’ Al liance (fascinating Indes all) as her guests, Mrs. Matthews endeared herself to everyone present with her gentleness of manner and her warm hospitality, Of course, being ministers wives, they did discuss some of the serious issues of everyday life. But if you thitik that these same Indies have Inot a keon appreciation of wit, you are mistaken. If you think they can not be light-hearted, carefree- and jolly, if you please, then you are wrong again. But, if you think that those “better halves” of Wash- ington’s preachers are ever $0 in- tensely interesting, then you are right. Let’s hope you stay right ‘The out-of-town guest of the Al- Yiance was Mrs, Joseph Jenkins, wife of the Rev. Joseph Jenkins, of Richmond. A’ captivating little creature is she. And if you don't beleve she is also a very lovely looking lady, try to see her in a group with "her three charming daughters. And if you can pick out the mother you can consider yourself smart." What did. they eat? It's too bad to tell you this since it is so far from Thanksgiv- ing or Christmas, and since (if you are like me’ you probably won't even see any more of it 'till those same days come again, but Mrs. Matthews served those hicky guests roast turkey with cranberry sauce. (1 see you can't stand the rest, so Tt stop.) eece If it is true that the “way to a man's heart is through his stom- ach,” then if Washington mon in- tend to keep their hearts in their own possession instead of surren- dering them to some pretty female, they had better take those same hearts ovt and wrap them well in cotton batting so Cupid's darts won't pierce them, Because the way these Washington women have been flocking to The Tribune's cooking school, you can’t really tell what might happen. Of course, some of the women (the married ones NI ean) are not looking for a way to some man’s heart (they have found the way there already), But maybe (mind you, I said maybe) some of the men have somehow managed to get their old hearts back. And ‘50, some of the women you see will be trying to find a way to regain the hearts they know they've lost. At any rate, you'll find the wo- men there (at the cooking school, I mean). ‘The old, the young; maidens demure, and coquettish “Cleopatras.” Just a minute! It's 6:30 p.m, Sey you at the cooking school.

Aaa BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE Saving on Powder Puffs Powder puffs are troublesome to wash and to buy them often is very expensive. But I learned a secret that will save buying new ones. It is this: Just cover them with thin cheesecloth and they can be changed into clean covers often and at practically no expense | or trouble, A yard of cheeseqoth will make enough to last a whole Year and costs only 5 or 10 cents. ‘A clean powder puff keeps the skin free from blemishes and black- heads.

Waters, former professor, secretary, and librarian of the Howard Law School, and his attorney, Thurman L. Dodson, are planning to file amended declarations to show causes of action within the ten days allotted. In dismissing the suits last week Justice F. Dickinson Letts sustained demurrers filed by George E. C. Hayes attorney for the university, which contended that Mr. Waters had no cause of action against the institution Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, his president, or Dr. Abraham Flexner, chairman of the board of trustees. LETTERS TERMED. MICHAEL In one bill for $50,000, Mr. Waters claimed that Dr. Johnson and Dr. Flexner wrote letters which held him up to publish ridicule. Mr. Hayes, in his letter, set out that the letters written by the two officials were not Ibibulous but privileged because they had been written to members of Congress who made inquiries in Mr. Waters' behalf. Mr. Hayes insisted that the dismissal was final and complete and that the university owed him nothing after his discharge, June, 1932.

Report Roland Hayes Breaks With Manager LOS ANGELES—Roland Hayes, noted tenor, who met with an automobile accident on the west coast last week, announced here that he had turned down the offer to have the story of his life made into a motion picture. Hayes stated that he had turned the deal down because the producers sought to inject views into the scenario that were derogatory to the Negro. At the same time Mr. Hayes announced that he had cancelled his contract and was severing relations with the Boston Symphony Concert Company under whose management he had been for several years. Mother Desperate, Tells of Hardships in South NEW YORK—I went to the relief for some clothes for my kids in October. Ain't got the first piece yet." So writes Mrs. Mamie Williams, mother of Eugene Williams, one of the two youngest Scotsboro boys, to the national office of the International Labor Defense, acknowledging a $10 check sent by the Prisoners Relief Fund of the I.L.D. "I haven't even got a chair in my house to set in and had no stove since in December in 1932," she writes. "I cook on the grate all the time. That is the shape I am in although they (the authorities) beg money saying to help the needy."

MAJORITY OF LYNCH VICTIMS WERE BOYS Of the 47 lynchings reported for 1923, according to records, the relative majority have been Negro youth, showing that it is the young generation that suffers worst from this particularly brutal form of resecution. -live and learn By JOSEPH C. OVERTON Hi-De-Ho—everybody, this is Station W. T. O., (Washington Tri- bune Office) broadcasting every week from the Tribune office. Giving you the latest and most humor- ous news of the season. A com- plete program given in a humorous way—Sorry we were not on the "air" last week. But we are glad to be here this week. First I will talk about sports— Dunbar High School's basketball team has several games to their credit and two non-conference defeats. Willow Tree A.C. and Dunbar C. C, ruined Dunbar's record recently. But nevertheless Dunbar expects to take the pennant. Armstrong and Cardozo's basketball teams seem to be holding their own these days. Armstrong's basketball stars are William "Jack" Hayes, Renny Logan, the "brick-wall gentleman" and Briscoe, who is known as "Reds" of football fame. Many regret that they could not attend the program at the Shiloh Baptist Church recently. This program should be repeated for the benefit of those who could not attend. Now for some common sense—Do you have a "common cold"? Take an airplane ride and it will vanish. This is not a mere theory, but a demonstrated fact, according to Doctor Heldor Carlsen of Chicago, Illinois. Will Sharks Eat Human Beings? The stomach of a shark is the ocean's garbage can. It's digestive organs contain a fluid which when it is dropped on a man's hand will take off the skin. Recently, a shark was caught off Big Pine Key, Florida; inside was found a man's arm, six pieces of human flesh and a square of cloth from a blue serge suit. Later it was found to be the remains of a United States cotton planter, whose airplane was wrecked near Havana, Cuba. If you don't think a shark will bite, take a swim about twenty miles in the ocean. Don't take it too seriously folks. Say this poem slowly, AB-CD goldfish, M-N-o-Goldfish O-S-A-R. Now I will drop around the military circles:The co-eds of the various high schools are picking their favorites now. Although the competitive drill is several months away, they are picking their armbands now. Among the many coeds are Florence Jackson of Dunbar (she has picked a captain); Floene Thompson of Tech (a major if you please); and Josephine Williams of Tech (a captain, Russell by name). A certain cadet major is receiving nickels from his lady friends. Maybe he is getting the "Mae West spirit."—You know "Save your nickels and save your dimes and come up and see me some time." Among the many graduates are Louis Herpo Davis and William Clarence Eckstein, known as "Billy" who expects to spend his future on the stage. We will not hear his melodious voice around "Tech" anymore, we hope. No more post graduates will be allowed in the senior high schools this year. Only those who have registered before will be allowed to continue their subjects. The lieutenants are preparing for the annual planton competitions which will be held on February 15. Winners of the squad competitions are: Twenty-fifth Regiment, Corporal Leroy Winston of Company "D"; Twenty-fourth Regiment, Corporal Wainwright Jenkins, of Company "B" and Tenth Battalion, Corporal Dunmore of Company "A." Lieutenant Furman Lee of Company C2 has picked a co-ed of Dunbar as a friend. (She did not act as though she wanted her name in this column) Miss Victoria Washington. Armstrong has a hero, Major Raymond Stewart, by name, Three cheers, major. And now the time has come to sign off.—Adios folks. Adios, may you have a prosperous week of good cheer.

M. MacDonald, acting coroner, in the case of Nettie Daniels, of 1020 Lamont Street, Northwest, 8-month-old infant, who died at Children's Hospital, Friday, after being injured when pulled from a bed in her home to the floor by a 2-year old sister.

On the following day, Mrs. Rosabelle Daniels, mother of the child, took her back to the hospital where she was found to be suffering from a broken right thigh and pneumonia. Hospital authorities said the child on the first trip there had stood up in the bed by holding on to the side-and expressed the belief that her thigh was not fractured when she was admitted to the hospital. X-rays on the child's return there, hospital authorities said, indicated the fracture was due to a weakened condition of the bone caused by rickets.

HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE PROPOSES ART GALLERIES IN HIGH SCHOOLS PROPOSES ART GALLERIES IN HIGH SCHOOLS Wilkinson Hopes to Create Interest in Senior and Junior Schools The art department of the public schools is holding a series of meetings on the second Monday of each month at 3:30 p.m. in Administration Building No. 2. A committee appointed for the purpose has selected subjects relative to art education for discussion. A variety of subjects have already been discussed, the first of which was "Appreciation and Culture;" presented by Miss Lucia W. Dement, instructor in fine arts education at Columbia University. Miss Dement expressed the thought that the sculptural and rhythmic feeling of Negro children as expressed in their drawings are an indication of racial cultural. Galleries Proposed At the December meeting Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools spoke on the utilitarian, social and community value of art outside of its pedagogical function. A proposal to establish art galleries in each junior and senior high school for the purpose of furthering a greater interest in art and making possible an exchange of art work between local and out of town schools was made by Mr. Wilkinson. Shaw Junior High School has taken the lead with the establishment of a temporary gallery. Two Exhibits Held The gallery has already shown two exhibitions, the first of which was paintings by the late Samuel O. Collins and his students. The art work of the pupils of Shaw has been exhibited in the second series of exhibitions. Beginning Friday, January 26 through February 5, the art work of the Armstrong, Cardozo and Durbar Senior High Schools will be exhibited. The exhibit to follow this will be in connection with the study of "Negro Life and History." Other exhibitions are to be shown from other junior high schools, the Miner Teachers College and Howard University. Work of Campbell Shown The teachers of Shaw, Mrs. I. H. Sheldon, Miss A. W. Thomas and Miss D. L. Williams hope that the public will take advantage of these exhibitions and will become acquainted with the art ability of the members of the race. The work of E. S. Campbell, a successful illustrator and cartoonist of New York, was exhibited in the office of Mrs. R. N. Hampton, director of art, Divisions 10-13, from January 8-31.

C. Wright Appears Before Senate District Body in Woodlawn Issue Appearing before the Senate District Committee at its public forum, last week, J. C. Wright, "Father of Three Cent Car Fare," and local high school teacher, asked the committee to revise the District Code of Laws on public cemeteries. Mr. Wright, who for the past two years has waged a fight for the renovation and better upkeep of Woodlawn Cemetery, suggested that the following amendments to the present code be made: **FOUR CHANGES SUGGESTED** 1. To keep posted in the office of the cemetery, and to file with the District Commissioners, the names and addresses of the directors and other officers of the cemetery; also the time and place of regular meetings. 2. To provide that plot owners shall be entitled to one vote for every four grave sites they may own. 3. To have by-laws, rules, and regulations, the same to be available to patrons at all times in the office of the secretary; and a copy to be filed with the District Commissioners. 4. To install a modern receiving vanit, running water, sanitary public comfort facilities; maintain ample apprehances, safe driveways, convenient aisles; and general upkeep to be regularly inspected and approved by the District Commissioners: OTHER APPEALS IN VAIN Mr. Wright advocates these changes in view of the fact that past appeals to District Commissioners, the Corporation Counsel and the Health Officer have been without avail. In his appeals, he cited Woodlawn Cemetery as being "an outstanding public disgrace." "Unkempt approaches, miserable roadways, inconvenient brier grown aisles, antiquated vault facilities, primitive and unsanitary toilet accommodations and the general neglected and deplorable condition merge in making Woodlawn a sad and humiliating challenge," Mr. Wright said. He charged that patrons of the cemetery are prohibited from voting and many are "loothe to believe that Woodlawn Cemetery has developed into a racket." His petition was supplemented with excerpts of complaints received from 24 competent and highly respected, plot owners, and nearly a dozen local organizations. All are on record to support the movement for better management, complete renovation, and improved continuous maintenance at Woodlawn Cemetery. Mr. Wright, who has taught in local high schools for over thirty-five years, waged a ten-year fight for reduced car fare for school children which culminated in 1930 with the Congressional Act providing the three cent rate. awarded they felt that they were well paid by the information imparted concerning the value of certain food products, the combining, preparing and cooking of same, together with the demonstration of how to do it properly.
