Police Dog Saves Stricken Mistress While hanging out, laundry in her back yard at 2256 Eighth Street, Northwest, this week, Mrs. Nicie King was, stricken and fell conscious. A large police dog which she owned started to whine and lick his mistress about the head. On seeing the strange actions of the dog, Mrs. King's four-year-old granddaughter, Mariyn, rushed into the street and hailed a taxicab and asked the driver to take her grandmother to a hospital. The little girl stated that she was afraid the dog would "cat her grand-daughter" The driver of the cab, Charles Grayson on seeing the woman in the yard and the dog, called an officer who summoned John, King, 610 Harvard Street, son of Mrs. King. The stricken woman was removed to Emergency Hospital where she responded to treatment and was able to return to her home. --- Washington Tribune WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH Many On New Tax Lists Vol. XIII, No. 45 WOM Many FIGHT OVER WHITELAW RILES JUDGE Orders Petitioners to Settle Difficulties or Hotel Will Be Sold A motion to remove Charles S. Cuney and Augustus Gray, receivers of the Whitelaw Apartment House Corporation, was denied in Motions Court, Monday, by Justice O'Donoghue. The justice threatened to order the property sold unless the petitioners settled their difficulties peaceably. The motion was made by George E. Hayes, counsel for the Whitelaw Apartments House Corporation. Justice O'Donoghue indicated on Friday that he would sign an order terminating the receivership. The receivers, represented by Thurman L. Dodson and Frank W. Adams, did not contest the move of the trustees of the Whitclaw who had previously asked that the receivership be dissolved. The court indicated that an order directing the auditor to settle the expense account of the receivership, after a request for the same had been made by Dodson. After indications that the receivership would be dissolved, the interest-holders began to seek control of the property which was to be given its original status. Smith Wants Control Mortimer F. Smith was appointed manager by deed in trust in 1928 for a period of ten years. Smith was not present at the hearing on Friday in which it was indicated that the receivership might be terminated. Henry L. Johnson, Jr., attorney for Smith, went to Justice O'Donoghue's chambers and stated that Smith objected to the termination of the receivership unless he was given control of the property. At a hearing on Monday morning Smith sought to obtain control (Continued on page 2) 25 YEARS GIVEN PICK SLAYER Isaiah Plummer, Who Stabbed Woman 16 Times Sentenced Friday A sentence of 25 years in the penitentiary was imposed by Justice Peyton Gordon on Isaiah Plummer, 43, confessed slayer, in District Supreme Court, Friday. Plummer, indicted on a charge of murder in the first degree, pleaded guilty to a second-degree count, last Monday. Plummer admitted that he had fatally stabbed Mrs. Leonora Butler, in his home at 1205 Carrollburg Place, Southwest, during an altercation last summer. He was given permission to enter the guilty plea to lesser offense than called for in the indictment when the government feared complications might result in a mistrial. Mrs. Gordon died at Providence Hospital 5 days after she was stabbed 16 times with an ice pick. The sentence range for second-degree murder convictions is from 20 years to life. Attorney Perry W. Howard, of Howard and Hayes law firm, represented Plummer. ONLY NEGRO NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1934 Board of Education Fights Liquor Sale Near Public Schools Appellate Court Frees Calhoun For Failure to Support Child Court of Appeals Upholds Decision of District Supreme Court in Case of Man Who Refused to Contribute to Illegitimate Child 12 Buildings in Colored Division Affecting 6,911 Pupils LICENSE IS GRANTED NEAR MORGAN SCHOOL Protest by Educators Fails to Prevent Liquor Sale Near Building Despite the protest or the Board of Education, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, Friday granted a license to Louis Kraft, white, 2100 Eighteenth Street, Northwest, to operate an "offsale" liquor business in the vicinity of Morgan School. The protest against selling liquor in the place was filed by Henry Gilligan, member of the Board of Education, who declare that children visited the store to buy candy and soft drinks. Chairman George W. Offutt, of the alcoholic board, stated that the liquor law clearly intended that offsale establishments should be allowed in such a case, although some sales for consumption on the premises are banned within 400 feet of school buildings. The case, Mr. Offit said, will be a precedent for the board in considering all applications for "off-sale" licenses in the neighborhood of schools and religious institutions. There are 12 colored schools among 37 involved in protests against the insurance of liquor licenses to merchants operating in (Continued on page 2) Appellate Court For Failure Court of Appeals Upholds D Court in Case of M Contribute to III Leon Calhoun, former trustee of Frelenghuyssen University and prominent citizen, will not have to serve a sentence of six months in jail which was imposed upon him by the Juvenile Court of the District of Columbia for his failure to maintain the support of his illegitimate child born to Mrs. Clara Sescoe. A decision harded down in the Court of Appeals, Monday, by Justice George E. Martin, held that the Juvenile Court had no jurisdiction at the time Calhoun was sentenced to the jail, as the child had reached the age of 14. $241 Back in Pay Calhoun, in 1919, had been found guilty of being the father of the illegitimate child of Mrs. Sesco, and was ordered to pay $2 per week to support the child until it became 14. The child reached the age of 14 in 1921, at which time Calhoun was $8241 in arrears. He was arrested and committed to jail when he refused to pay off the balance due for support of the child.

Uses Blount Instrument on Recalcitrant Wife When his wife, Beatrice, refused to do as he requested her last Sunday afternoon, Henry McHoney, of 832 Second Street, Southwest, attacked her with a blunt instrument and hit her over the head with it, severely injuring her. Frees Calhoun to Support Child Decision of District Supreme Man Who Refused to legitimate Child Morris and Brooks Telfair Sanders, Calhoun obtained his release when Justice James Proctor, of the Supreme Court, discharged him f. ; the custody of William L. Peak, superintendent of the Washington Asylum and Jail, on a writ of Habeas Corpus. Justice Proctor held that the Juvenile Court lost jurisdiction as the child had reached 14. The court held further that Calhoun could not be forced to pay the sum of $241. The Corporation Counsel for the District of Columbia took the case to the Court of Appeals, where the contention of Calhoun's attorneys, Morris and Sanders, and the decision of Judge Proctor were affirmed. The case attracted a deal of attention in the legal circles of the District, as it was the first decision on the exact point in the whole country. It was announced fro a the Corporation Counsel's office that over fifty such fathers in the District of Columbia cannot be sent to jail for failing to pay for the cost of ill-legalize children. New Provisions in Tax Laws Involve Gov't Employees Also By VICTOR R. DALY The lowering of the personal ex- emption provision in the new in- come tax law will require hundreds of local residents to file income tax returns for the first time this year. Especially have the school teach- ers and government employees been hard hit by this new regulation. For Uncle Sam says, "every single person, or a married person not living with husband or wife who ha' an income of only $1,000 for 1933, must file a return." Teachers Affected This will include every teacher in the schools and most of the federal employees who are still single. A person who is the head of a family or married and living with husband or wife, may claim an exemption of $2,500. By "head of a family" is meant an individual who actually supports and maintains in one household one or more persons by right of some moral or legal obligation. Further Exemptions There are numerous exemptions which the tax-payer has a legal right to deduct from his income tax return. Unfortunately, the average citizen is unaware of these credits that are allowed him, or being unable to compute them, either overpays the government or makes glaring errors on the other side, in either case there is waste of time, money and energy. Besides the personal exemptions mentioned above, a credit of $400 may be claimed for each dependent, other than husband or wife, under 18 years of age, or incapable of self-support, who received his or her support from the taxpayer day. (Continued on page 2) Grand Jury Must Act in Case of Man Who Died from Fist Blow John Williams, 56, of 647 N Street, Northwest, must face grand jury action in connection with the death of Addison Brown, 38, of the 600 block of Division Avenue, Northeast, a coroner's jury decided this week. Williams is alleged to have struck Brown during an altercation which took place at the N Street address last Thursday night. As Brown fell to the ground, his head struck against some sharp object, fracturing his skull. He died en route to Freedmen's Hospital in a taxicab. Fight Over Woman According to Williams's statement, the quarrel which led up to the fatal blow arose over a woman named Catherine Snowden, of the N Street address, Brown is said to have "gotten fresh" with her, an action resented by Williams. While admitting that he hit Brown Williams claimed in his statement that it was the fall, not the blow, which led to death. DEATH AGED WOMAN IS FOUND IN FLAMES Mrs. Maria Middleton is Fatally Burned When Clothes Ignite Mrs. Maria Middleton, 75, 708 Twelfth Street, Northeast, a resident of Washington for many years, was fatally burned Wednesday morning when her clothes caught fire from a gas stove in her room. Mrs. Middleton was taken to Casualty Hospital where she died the same afternoon. Mrs. Clementine Colder, also a resident of the house, stated to a reporter for The Tribune that her attention was attracted by screams from Mrs. Middleton's room. On opening the door she found the aged woman enveloped in flames and holding on to her bed. Mrs. Colder wrapped blankets and rugs around the burning woman's body and rolled her on the floor in an effort to extinguish the flames. Despite her prompt action, Mrs. Middleton was seriously burned about the head and body. Mrs. Middleton is the mother of Mrs. Middleton Middleton Barnes, wife of a prominent Greensboro, N.C. dentist, and Raymond Middleton, a Howard graduate and now an engineer in Pittsburgh. Mrs. Barnes formerly taught school in Washington. LACK OF FUNDS HALTS NURSERIES LACK OF FUNDS HALTS NURSERIES Project May Meet Further Snag in Law, According to Officials Opening of 11 nurseries in the public schools has been halted due to the fact that funds for the necessary furniture have not been allot- by the Civil Works Administration, according to a statement by Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, of schools, this week. Five of the nurseries were to be in colored schools. Mr. Wilkinson stated that teachers employed for the project were working interviewing parents of children, of pre-school age so that when the nurseries open the small pupils will be able to enter and the program carried through. Friend of Negroes Edits N.Y. Post NEW YORK—Dr. Ernest H. Gruening, formerly an editor of the Nation, a liberal, long interested in the Negro question and one who has rendered signal service to the Republic of Haiti, has been appointed editor of the New York Evening Post, oldest daily newspaper in the United States. Dr. Gruening has been managing editor of the New York "Tribune" and editor of the Portland (Me.) "Evening News." He is author of "Mexico and Its Heritage." A few days after assuming the editorship of the Post, Dr. Gruening carried an editorial severely condemning the ejection of Mabel Byrd from the public restaurant in th capital building in Washington. --- Says Projects Will Not Be So Extravagant or Bizarre as C.W.A. Expressing the hope that the Negro will play a larger and more equitable part in the new relief program being formulated by national administrative authorities, Forester B. Washington, newly appointed Director of Negro Work under the Federal Emergency relief Administration, briefly reported on the work already accomplished by his department in this direction before the Joint Citizen's Committee of the District of Columbia, meeting in the Twelfth Street branch of the Y.M.C.A., Saturday afternoon. Mr. Washington, who is also president of the Atlanta School of Social Work, Atlanta, Georgia, outlined the policies upon which the work of his department would be predicated in the future, and urged the integration of Negroes into every project initiated under the forthcoming program. C.W.A. Out of Picture "We can't do much about the C.W. A. at this late date," he stated, "for it is already passing swiftly out of the picture. What we must work for now is a better integration of the Negro in the new system. While I do not advocate all-Negro projects for Negro workers, I do believe that a place can and should be found for them in every project started. I ask for special preference for the Negro in the new work program, but only as a means of compensating them for the bad treatment that they have received in the past." The new program, according to Mr. Washington, will have three principle aims. It will endeavor, first of all, to relieve distressed families in rural areas by distributing to them "relief in kind" in the form of cows, horses, seed, and so forth, by giving them home instruction in agriculture and home economics, and by providing well-trained teachers for rural schools. To Move Stranded Populations Its second purpose will be the relief of stranded populations, such as those of the bituminous coal and auto industries, by providing them with funds to move to areas where work can be found. Its final aim will be to relieve the distressed unemployed in urban areas, avoiding, if possible, direct "handouts" and other abuses prevalent under the C.W.A. The new program will differ from the C.W.A. in that each applicant will be thoroughly investigated before he is given work, and the projects will not be quite so bizarre or extravagant. MRS. R. G. McGUIRE NAMED PRESIDENT OF LOCAL NAACP Total of $3,075.23 Has Been Collected by Branch This Year Mrs. Robert G. McGuire was elected branch president at the annual meeting of the District of Columbia Branch, N.A.A.C.P. last Friday night at the Y.W.C.A., at which time reports were made and officers elected. The secretary, A. S. Pinkett, reported total receipts for the year of $3,075.23 and expenditures of $2,970.47, leaving a balance of $104.76. Money sent the national office for all purposes for the year totaled $1,910.59. Because of the threatened embarrassment to the national office, the principal effort of the branch last year was centered in relieving that strain. Two Cases Cited The legal committee brought to successful conclusion a number of important matters among which were the attempted rape of a young colored woman in the now fashionable Massachusetts Avenue section and the brutal handling of two women in Anacostia by police officers. In the former case, through negotiation with the Spanish Embassy, a cash settlement was effected and in the latter case, the women were exonerated of any blame as a result of having fired their weapons when policemen invaded their home. During the year, Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, who had been president since 1930, died and the branch was put to the necessity of selecting a successor. After many eliminations, attention finally centered upon Mrs. Robert G. McGuire, who for the past ten or more years has been actively interested (Continued on page 2) Three Million Women Throughout U.S.Have No Jobs BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL THOUSANDS EXPLOITED IN SHOPS By MAMIE E. DAVIS In The Philadelphia Tribune With more than 3,000,000 women jobless in the United States today and many far-seeing economists and sociologists prophesying there will be many more added to this number with the re-employment of more men, it is fitting that we see under what conditions women, in spite of the present economic unrest, have held their own. Woman has worked since the settlement of this country. There was no question in those days as to what kind she did, for there was much to be done in the home. Every home was a factory; but now has done for industry and many has done for rindustry and many women are now in business, industry, and the professions along with the male of the species. In spite of the low wages paid in comparison to those being paid her brothers who sometimes work along beside her. The Negro woman worker is found in industries including: clothing, drugs, food, glass, metal, paper, textiles, tobacco, wood and household employment, in professions covering: teaching, nursing, beauty culture, medicine, law, art, dietics, library science, social work, journalism, mortuary, the ministry, and businesses that include: accounting, salesmanship, stenography, chemistry; and even are heads of concerns, with many civil service employees. Gainfully Employed The Woman's Bureau statistics show that of the more than twelve million Negroes in the United States 1,840,642 Negro women are gainfully employed, and the Woman's Press, official organ of the Young Women's Christian Association, states, as the result of a recent study, with 2,467,731 domestic workers in the United States, one million of whom are Negroes, this story (terrible household employment conditions) assumes a proportion and importance which must not be overlooked any longer. Of course the scarcity of jobs available to Negro men has meant that this great number has been increased. Many mothers, oldest girls, and bachelor daughters have gone into this particular industry because it offered a bigger field for untrained labor. Low Wages When we realize how many of the household employment positions include practical nursing, cooking, and care of small children, it seems terrible to think of the number who really have no training at all. In many Southern cities, even medical certificates are not required. However, both in the North and in the South many housewives are taking advantage of the flooded market and are paying "sweat-shop" wages. Many of these Negroes cannot pay rent and are more and more having to sleep-in. Employers are saying they should be glad to have a roof over their heads, and are saving on household allowances which have not been so drastically cut, by reducing what had been a living wage in some cases. Other housekeepers who could never afford help "in the good old days" rush at the chance to secure a cook, maid, or nurse at a low wage and have a semblance of the luxury her richer sister has been enjoying. Suffer Hardships California, a hot-bed of household employees, sent in to the Young Women's Christian Association for its study of conditions in that section the following examples of what has been asked of girls whom they have sent on low-priced jobs in private homes: 1. Sleep on davernport in room through which family passes to go to bathroom. 2. Sleep on cot which is put in living room at night. 3. Sleep on back porch where the wash tubs and garbage cans are kept. 4. In a room over the garage. Numerous cases of this. 5. In room with children. 6. In same bed with chil. 7. In same bed with grandmother. 8. Maid often refused use of bath tub where there is only one bath-room in the house. 9. So many times no arrangements have been made for the servant to have a place for her own things. The consensus seems to be that she should be grateful for a roof over her head and some food in her stomach that the other things which go toward making her comfortable and happy do not count. Need Survey Recently the writer made a study of an Industrial club at the Southwest-Belmont branch Y.W.C.A. and found the hours of work, each week to range from 48 to 67 with no extra pay given in any case for overtime work. Some were being paid as little as $5.00 a week for all-day work with the majority getting less than $12.00, which is less than the $52.00 a month specified in the blanket code for industrial workers and far less than the minimum of $15.00 a week set up for department store and clerical workers whose hours are much shorter. Time off for rest, personal laundry, and vacations were at a premium and not taken care of in a schedule. There is grave need for a more intensive study of the Philadelphia area and the study should include recreational advantages for this large group of wage earners. If some organization is looking for some missionary work to do it can make available funds to see this study done. A Bit of Texas While in charge of an employment office in Texas, the writer found as many as five employees each week calling in to say: "I have a room over my garage and would like you to send me a reliable woman to live in it for her breakfast and fifty cents a week. "I want her to do my breakfast dishes mornings, clean my house thoroughly once a week, and do the laundry for the five in the family." Many calls came for man and wife to "live on the place" with the man being the chauffeur, butler, and yard man, while the wife did the cooking, cleaning and laundry, and both being paid $25.00 the month. Occasionally, calls came for a young woman who could cook, drive a car, and do excellent laundry. This meant the chauffeur was no longer needed. What a saving! Often cases were referred by the office to the lawyer for the City Welfare Department, because a girl had been sent out to work all day cleaning house, helping to move a family, or even doing laundry (washing in early morning and ironing in the afternoon and evening) and had been paid nothing because the slave driving employer said it was not done to suit her. Need Specific Code Is the employer always to blame for the continued experience of such conditions? What might the women in this concentrated occupational division do to relieve conditions? How would united resistance help? What would a code do? Already, Edward C. Rybicki, director of the City Free Employment Agency, and Joseph T. Fagan, president of the Household Club, Inc., of New York, have presented a code to General Hugh S. Johnson, National Administrator of NRA, which calls for a 48-hour week, with the lowest wage paid to "inexperienced workers" $30.00 a month while "couples combination" receive the highest minimum salary of $110.00 a month. They also include "for all workers, whether urban or suburban, if transportation is required it shall be paid by the employer. Employment for less than a month shall be 50 cents extra." His codes make no allowance, however, for increase or raises in salary as efficiency increases, nor does he consider sectional costs of living. It certainly costs more to live in the North than it does in the South. Taking that in to consideration the writer's code includes for: | WAGE | Hours | North | South | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Nurse Maids ... | 8 | $30.00 | $20.00 | | Cooks (sleep in) ... | 9 | 85.00 | 75.00 | | Cooks (sleep out) ... | 9 | 90.00 | 80.00 | | Chambermaids ... | 8 | 40.00 | 30.00 | | Parlormaids ... | 8 | 40.00 | 30.00 | | Waitresses ... | 8 | 40.00 | 30.00 | For day-work and laundry by this day, charges should be $1.75 the hour. With increase in training there should be added $1.75 for each month of service after a year's stay on the job, with the addition of fifty cents for every six months of experience. Should Live Out More Negroes should "live out" and away from their jobs for the same reason that other employers do not live in the factories, laundries or office in which they work daily. Many times the one room is not sufficient to receive company or have any other kind of outlet to normal individual needs. She will find she goes back to her job the next morning with more vitality after relaxation. Realizing how difficult it is to get information from employers, I do not wonder that many National Negro organizations and public-spirited white groups have waited until there are rumblings of the falling of NRA to suggest a code for this large part of our American civilization, but persons have been sent around from house to house to get information from the persons who have or have not paid their income tax, and yet nobody is knocking at doors and asking Mrs. Housekeeper how much she is paying her cook laundress or nurse maid. Is this too near a disturbance of the "sanctity of the home"? Armstrong High Senior To Seek Career on Stage Joseph C. Overton, a former juvenile stage artist of Connecticut, will join a revue directed by Mrs. Ida V. Peters of this city. Overton has gained popularity by creating a sensational act on the stage in several cities. His favorite act is tap-dancing on wooden wheeled skates up a flight of steps. In addition to this act, he can spin around in a circle for eight minutes. This act has left the audience astonished. He is a senior at the Armstrong High School, here.

HAYES Federal Employees, who have read in this column the progress of the New Negro Alliance as seen by this writer, who is a charter member of the executive committee, will be interested in knowing that I have offered my resignation as publicity director of the group as a gesture of my disapproval of the publicity policy recommended by a majority of the committee. I have the evidently erroneous idea that it is the duty of a publicity director of an organization which is supposed to be of, for, and by the people, to advise said people from time to time of the actions of the various committees, as well as to criticise fully, whenever any of the policies or actions of any of the committees or executives are believed to be inimicable to the public interest. I am, seemingly, wrong, and I am sorry. The executive committee of the New Negro Alliance, which to date has not only beaten the backbone and brain but also the brawn of the movement, is not representative enough to successfully gain and hold the confidence and co-operation of the strata of our group whose confidence and co-operation is absolutely necessary for sustained success of the movement. The executive committee of the New Negro has not only been the backbone and brain be movement, is not representative enough to set the confidence and co-operation of the strata,idence and co-operation is absolutely necessary of the movement.

Cobb, of the Municipal Court addressed the Morse-Twining Parent-Teacher Association last Thursday on "Higher Citizenship." The trial of the alleged slayers of Armstead Olden, who died October 8, 1933, as a result of an assault made upon him, during a drunken orgy at his home at 1630 Fifth Street, will be held on Monday in the District Supreme Court. He was introduced by Mrs. Emma Hall Roberts. An excellent literary and musical program was rendered with Mrs. Evelyn Parker Cox at the piano. The indictment names Bertha Olden, common law wife of the deceased, her two children Frances and John Duncan, and William Redmond as the slayers. Mrs. R. R. Horner responded to the address by Judge Cobb. Mrs. Louise Clarkson rendered a number of excellent selections on the piano. Mrs. Olden and her children will be represented by Nathan A. Dobbins and Frederick J. Icenhowel, white, while William Redmond will be defended by Max Schulman, white. The indictment returned by the grand jury contains 17 counts. Mrs. M. M. Brown, principal of Morse-Twining group, explained in detail the providing of hot lunches for the children, and the money spent for clothing and shoes for indigent children. On behalf of the association she thanked all who contributed to this program of relief. It's the desire to appear more prosperous than we are that keeps us from becoming independently prosperous. --- --- --- They say in effect: ELEVEN Armstrong High School Cagers Going to Gary, Ind.

Mr. Houston's announcement followed shortly after the return to the city of First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, from whom the Armstrong principal received permission to send the boys. He insisted that all other press reports notwithstanding Mr. Wilkinson's final okay would have to be forthcoming before he would consider confirming the rumor that there would be no objection from the superintendent inasmuch as the proposed trip would be made during the Easter recess. Make Preparations Meanwhile preparations for meeting the expense to be incurred by the trip were going on at Armstrong. Perhaps the largest production of finance toward this end will be realized from a play being staged by the school faculty. "Come Out of( the Kitchen," a well-known comedy, will be presented by members of the faculty on March 27. The returns will be donated to the Armstrong Athletic Association to defray the expenses of the trip to Gary. Faculty to Aid Among the teachers co-operating in the presentation of the play are: Mesdames M. E. Whedbee, Catherine Lane, Charlotte Strickland, Elizabeth Smith, and Gordon, and Messrs. H. B. Wallace, Cato Adams and George Murray. A large number of others also have parts in the skit. Two full teams, comprising a playing squad of ten men, will make the trip. Indications point to the following men as being named for the party: Captain Bumper Hayes, Rennie Logan, Red Briscoe, Buck Covington, Ossie Glymp, Joe Hall, Skobie Westmoreland, Bob Payne, Jimmie Mack, and Dodo Harrison. 7 COLORED BOYS REACH GOLDEN GLOVES FINALS Negro Boxers Survive Tests Begun by 8,000 Contestants; Fight Tomorrow CHICAGO (ANP)—Out of more than 8,000 boys who began competition in the 1934 Golden Gloves contests, sponsored by the Chicago Tribune, of 32 to reach the semifinal and final rounds which are to be fought in the Chicago Stadium this Friday night, seven are colored.

Ward is now fighting professionally. Louis Tyus and Levels have the money on them this year. Bordentown Lassies Snap Downie Girls' Streak DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. — The three-year reign of the Downing-town Industrial School girls on the court, which had run to 35 straight wins, was ended in the Minquas Fire Hall Saturday night when the Bordentown sex-tet took the long end of a sensational 22-20 contest. To make the evening a perfect bust for the Downies, the Ironsides' boys galled to an easy 32-21 triumph over the Lomaxmen, piling up their 18th consecutive victory of an undefeated season. The fray between the girls had been forecast as a critical one in the race for the 1934 MCA crown. Its outcome left the teams in a tie for first place with five wins and one defeat—each having announced the other once. --- NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD N. Y.

Besides Syphax, Coach Kay Trigg will have available Lanky Jones, Ted Thompson, Lois Williams, Archie Johnson, Frank Steele, Clarence Smith, Charlie Ware, and others. TECH NITERS FACE STIFF SCHEDULE TECH NITERS FACE STIFF SCHEDULE The Armstrong Night High School team is about to enter on a strenuous campaign. They meet their night high school rivals, Cardozo, on Friday, at the Tech gymnasium at 9:30. They also meet Union Wesley, Cardozo A. C., and the C. and P. Telephone Company. Within the next two weeks the team has been invited to Frederick, Maryland, to play the Asbury A.C. of that city. The Armstrong team is composed of Cain, the high point forward; Jackson, a last year's substitute who has shown up well with the first five; and Harris, a newcomer, who has shown up well whether playing forward or guard. In the center we find Big Celebs of last year's team, and Wallace, a newcomer. Borders and Williams hold down the guards. Borders is a newcomer to Tech but a helpful addition. Williams is captain and assistant coach of the team. In Carter, Smith and Bush, Tech has players who fill up the ranks to keep the machine on its victory march. Much of the success of the basketball team is due to the untiring efforts of James O. Williams, who not only captains and assists in the coaching, but also helps book games for the team. The Armstrong Night School team has as its coach Jimmie Lee, a former Armstrong day school student. He hasn't been able to give the time he wishes to the team due to the illness of his wife.

NEGRO TRACKMEN SCORE IN 7 OF 8 NATIONAL EVENTS Colored Sprinters and Jumpers Monopolize Limelight at A.A.U. Games NEW YORK (CNS) — Seven young Negro athletes made a cleanup in the National Amateur Athletic Union meet in Madison Square Garden, Saturday night, February 24, when they won seven out of the eight places in the 60-meter sprint and the running broad jump Jesse Owens, the 1933 Cleveland school boy phenomenon, now an Ohio State freshman, had the crowd cheering with his amazing leaps through the air. Successor to the Sol Butlers, Ned Gourdins and DeHart Hubbards among the Negro jumping champions, Owens eclipsed Hubbard's eight-year-old indoor record of 24 feet 7½ inches on two successive leaps. On his third effort Owens cleared 24 feet 10 inches, then he zoomed out 25 feet 3¼ inches, the first 25-foot leap in America in a couple of years. Owens also eclipsed the championship record of 23 feet 11 inches, made by Ted Smith. Owens Sets Broad Jump Mark The Negro jumpers swept all four scoring places. Owens, who now holds both national outdoor and indoor titles, was followed by Eulace Beacock, New Jersey boy of Temple University, with 24 feet $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches; John Brooks, of Chicago University, with 23 feet $11\frac{1}{2}$ inches, all three beating the title standard, and Ted Smith, with 23 feet $6\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Another outstanding event of the evening was the equalling of his own record for the 60-meter dash by Ralph Metcalfe, who won in 6.7 seconds, closely pushed by Owens and Ben Johnson, the Columbia University freshman, who placed second and third, respectively. Sam Manici, white, also of Columbia, was fourth. Calvin Baskett, of Marquette; and Fritz Pollard, Jr., and Deotis Taylor were also-rans in the meeting. Negro Floors Brouliard Then Loses in Rally NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Unable to take advantage of the opportunity to follow with a kaye punch, a second round uppercut which nad sent Lou Broulliard, of Worcester, Mass., to the canvas, Al Gainer, local Negro light heavyweight, found himself outpointed in the, remaining 8 rounds of the battle, hese, Monday night. Broulliard, former welter and middleweight titleholder, was sent to the floor for a count of 3 early in the fight. He was much hurt as evidenced by the groggy manner in which he finished the second round and went cautiously into the third frame. He regained his confidence, however, with the beginning of the fourth round and went on to a decision victory. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1934 Looking 'em Over by SAM LAGY With the Tribune Looking 'em Over by SAM LAGY With the Tribune Once more the Howard University Bisons have intruded on the sacred territory of the Morgan College Bears. The Baltimoreans, so accustomed to occupancy of the charmed circle which is drawn annually for the championship basketball team of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, were awakened yesterday (Wednesday) morning to the realization that they will be compelled this 1934 to doff the crown to a new monarch. The chances are that the Orange and Blue color-bearers knew long before they went into the lair of the Lincoln Lions, Tuesday night, that their days as king of the C.I.A.A. beasts were numbered. There is a slight possibility that the Monumental City warriors looked upon the Bisons as premonitors in that very first game in Baltimore back in early January. Even then, it stands to reason, the Bears might have experienced a feeling that they were not going to have as easy a time overpowering the Tigers and Lions and Bisons and Panthers and Trojans and whatnots as they had in the past. Well, just what they feared came to pass. Although they did away with the Big Cats of Pennsylvania, Wednesday night, to close their season, the Bears took it on the chin "good and proper" during the campaign. After the showing the Blue and White Washington team made in Baltimore on that January night mentioned above, it was not much of a surprise when that same aggregation carried the Maryland Grizzlies the first time the latter were caught prowling around the halls of the Capital Cities. But when they went down on the seashore and had the Pirates of Chesapeake Bay lost them (legitimately) of the decision and everything that goes with an unexpected swat on the jaw, time was for Morgan to look up to themselves. Still that wasn't so bad—considering. In fact nothing was so bad until a band of chesty Trojans, minus their Helen but with their Monelaus (Jimmie Barnes), invaded the cave of the Bears and tied their tails in knots, sawed off their teeth, and gave them a swift kick in the pants to send them skidding into second place, where they remained. Regardless of the outcome of the Morgan-Lincoln game, which, incidentally, the former won by a 37-32 score, Coach Johnnie Burr's Washington collegies could not be removed from first place. Morgan, which finished second, was nosed out by Howard because she dropped two of her three games to teams lower in the standing than those to whom Howard lost. Two of the three Bison defeats were administered by Lincoln and Morgan, both of whom finished above Hampton and Virginia State, Morgan's conquerors. Therefore although both of these teams lost the same number of games, the C.I.A.A. system of rating places the Blue and White aggregation with the better average. Victories over so-called first division teams mean larger percentages than victories over so-called second division outfits. Likewise losses to second-division contestants mean a greater loss of prestige and percentage points than do losses to first division teams. Lincoln is disregarded as a serious contender because it did not compete in as many as half the games that Howard and Morgan played. In fact the cancellation of the game with Virginia State last week caused the Lions to be completely out of the running for the championship. Six member teams must be met, according to the association ruling, in order for a competitor to be considered for the title. Lincoln's game with Morgan last night was only her fifth C.I.A.A. game. And so it comes to pass that the appeals of one of the most enthusiastic Howard University student followings in the history of Howard's re-entrance into the C.I.A.A. were granted by a plueck, hardworking basketball machine, guided by an individual whom this column last week nominated for the championship among association coaches. Impressive Record Established By Armstrong Basketball Team 1934 Generals Triumph in 23 of 24 Court Tilts; Seven Victories are Over S.A.H.S.A.C. Opponents; Club Teams Also Victimized Coach E. P. Westmoreland's Armstrong Technical High School basketball team, city and South Atlantic Conference champions, closed its 1934 court campaign, Monday. A 24-game schedule ended as the Generals dropped their final game to the Baltimore Vocational quint. It was the first defeat for the Armstrong team this season. In the 23 victories, the Orange and Blue had seven wins against South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference opponents. The other verdicts were gained in clashes with other high schools and local independent teams.

INTRA-MURAL CAGE PLAY AT TECH By JOE • OVERTON Despite February's severe cold weather, intra-mural basketball at Armstrong is in its last stages. For the senior class, section B7 sponsored by P. A. Roy, won the championship. Members of that team were Robinson, Green, Roots, Charles Williams, Wilson and Lancester. Section A6, sponsored by H. B. Wallace, is champion for the junior class, and its respective members are Anderson, Clark and Perkins The most interesting game to date was played on Thursday morning when Section C4 led by Rip Lucas took the measure of the highly rated A4. The score was 22-11. Such team work reminded one of the Armstrong varsity in action. Members of this team are Sleepy Boston, 'Lloyd Pauls, Hack-saw Kearnerson, Shirley Brown, Stump Herbert, Captain Rip Lucas. They are favored to cop the school title. ```markdown ``` JAMES D.

MEGRO NATIONAL LEAGUE MAGNATES MEET SATURDAY Club Representatives to Hie to Philadelphia For Opening Plans PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—What is considered the most important meeting of baseball moguls to be held thus far will be held Saturday. Club owners have been instructed to assemble at the Citizens' Republican Club, Fifteenth and Lombard' Streets, not later than 1:30 p.m. The session opens at 2 p.m. At present the following clubs are enrolled: Chicago, Cole's American Giants; Cleveland, Cleveland Red Sox; Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh CrawLords; Philadelphia, Golden's Stars; Nashville, Tom Wilson's Elite Giants; Newark, Newark Dodgers. Applications from Baltimore Sox, Bacharach Giants and Homestead Greys will be voted upon. Joe Combria or his representative will ask for full membership, making the seven club loop complete. Harry Passon will seek full or associate membership while Poses' Homestead Grays will be contented with association with the national body. Among other applications to be presented by Chairman W. A. Greenlee will be those of several substantial Southern clubs. J. L. Wilkinson's offer to co-operate virtually amounts to a desire to associate. New York Black Yankees were accepted on the associate basis at the last meeting. With a hookup invading every section where baseball is played, the national body wields a friendly influence over the cream of Negro attractions. Election of officers is also on the calendar—with a possibility that the governing body will change in type—and personnel, in some instances. The commissioner idea has gained favor, and it appears that a common agreement is current that an advisory board will afford relief to the president and induce harmony all along the lines. TREASURY TOSSERS HUMBLE G.P.O. TREASURY TOSSERS HUMBLE G.P.O. The Government Printing Office basketball team, champions of the 1933 Departmental Basketball League, went down to defeat in a basketball game feature attraction of a promotion at Lincoln Colonnade, last Wednesday night. The final score was 45-30. *Led by Slim Thomas and Pee Wee Covington, the Treasury Department courtmen subdued the Printers in a one-sided second half. The two teams had played throughout the first 20 minutes on a fairly even basis. Score at the close of the period was 15-12. Ev Jeffriee, elongated center, fought nobly in an effort to stave off defeat for the Orange and Black defending champions. He proved to be a tower of strength on both the offense and defense. But the task of stopping the Covington-Thomas-Turner-Tobias-Barbe combination was too much. Pirates Baseballers Meet The Washington Pirates will hold their regular meeting.

The Clerks were hosts on the occasion. Vocational 5 Stops Tech Vocational 5 Stops Tech Armstrong Winning Streak is Snapped by Baltimoreans BALTIMORE, Md.—Having already evened its score with two of the three. Washington high schools which conquered them on their own courts, the Baltimore Vocational School basketball team complete the circuit by humbling the champion Armstrong Technical High School cage team, 88-28, here, Monday afternoon. The Generals, already winners of the District and South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference titles, bit the dust before the all-round superiority of the locals. It was the first for them in more than a score of games against all types of opposition. The Orange and Blue quintet, hardcapped by the small local floor, was outplayed in every department of the game. At no time during the 40 minutes of play did the visitors function with the precision that has marked its previous efforts. When interview @ Wednesday, E. P. Westmoreland, Coch of the Tech clan, said his team had no excuse. "It was," he declared, "completely outplayed." N.Y.ELKS'QUINT TO INVADE D.C. The Manhattan Elks of New York City will send their undefeated basketball team to this city next Saturday to play the Twelfth Street Y Big Five, which will represent Columbia a Temple No. 85, of this city. The contest will be played at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. The New Yorkers are claiming the national championship in Elk basketball circles. The local Elks are planning to give the visitors a grand reception. The Columbia Temple and Twelfth Street Y are organizing a strong aggregation in the hope of turning back the national title holders. Hillsdales Begin Prep Drills for Diamond Campaign The Hillsdale A.C. baseball team held its first workout of the season at the gymnasium of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. Tuesday night. Setting-up exercises and handling of the medicine-ball occupied most of the period. Among those men who turned out for the initial drill were: Peck Banks, Geechie Williams, Marion and Jakie Levi, Ollie and Charlie Green, Bob Baiey, Dopey Jones, Sam Lacy, Ossie Bush, Jimmie Hughes, Soup Turner and Joe Henderson. Barty Black was also present but remained in civilian clothes. Girl Champs,Bearing Great Record, Tour South PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—(ANP)—Winning 97 out of 109 games they have played since their organization three years ago, Otto Briggs's Philadelphia Tribune Girls, national basketball champions, will begin an extensive tour of the south, scheduled to begin around March 9.

Leading by a score of 8 to 5, at the half, the Tuskegee girls' varsity basketball team yielded this three point advantage, in the third quarter, to State Teachers' College, their ancient rivals, and lost by a 14 to 8 score in Logan Gym- nasium, here Tuesday night.

The Clerks By capturing the decision Dunbar went into second place in both the City and South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference standing. Armstrong won the title by trimming the Clerks last week. The Crimson and Black machine, pulling itself together after three successive setbacks at the hands of both its local rivals, came back after the rest period and went into the van never to be headed. The opening period had closed on a 10-all score. Had the game lasted longer, the chances are that the Purple and White outfit would have suffered an even worse heating. The withdrawal of Herbie Tobias fro the Carolina line-up necessitated a shift which materially hardened the team that has shown no little quality this season. Flatny Marshall, star forward and running mate to Milt Robinson, was showed into the vacated guard post and as a result the Business attack was decidedly weakened. Coach P. L. Jacobs sent in his second strike line-up on the game moved into its winning stages. The contest ended less than 15 seconds after Crowden, second team guard, sank a two-pointer from a difficult angle.

PETERSBURG, Va.—In one of the fastest and ‘most interesting basketball games seen on the local court this season, the Virginia State Trojans defeated the Hamp- ton Pirates by a score of 35 to 32, Wednesday night. Entering the game with an ap- parent determination to avenge the defeat handed them by the Seasid- ers carly in the season the Trojans immediately set out upon a scoring spree that seemed to sweep the vis- itors off their feet.

Competition is much keener and the determination to win is more evident during this half-season. With three wins in as many starts last week Freed- ‘men’s Hospital kept pace with the ‘Ambassadors with whom they ave tied for possession of the second niche. Lest we forget, this tie has been going on for a month, These Am- bassadors are determined to put the skids under any team that comes, or is inclined to come, be- tween them and the top hole. They are still rankled/ over being top- pled out of first place several Weeks ago. They will fight to the Tast man in order to regain this objective. Take a.tip—they have the power to do.it. ‘According to a few figures, the Cosmopolitans appear to be easy to dislodge. What it is that keeps them at or near the top is a mys- tery, even to them, Here are the figures for the last three matches. You do your stuff on a solution: Cosmopolitans, 3,480 pins for 386-6 average; Ambassadors, 4,555 pins for 506-1 average; Freedmen’s Hospital, 4471 pins for 496-7 ay- erage. Champs’ Position Insecure ‘The above figures show enough punch in either of the second phice teams to dislodge the champs. Freedmen’s Hospital may. prove @ little more difficult for the Ambas- sadors to shake off, from the stand- point of figures at least. Over a long stretch Freedmen’s Hospital has: the edge. It is the best wood- getting team in the league. For the 27 games played from January 2 to February 27, the pin-fall for each is: ( Freedmen’s Hospital... 18,233 Cosmopolitans ......+. 13,207 Ambassadors ......4.. 13,067 In last week's matches the Cos- mopolitans took two from the Thompson-less Franklins, Captain Hiram was on the shelf nursing a case of lumbago. The third game was a nine-pin muff, by the champs, of a chance to keep a compara- tively safe. distance in” front. Freedmen’s “Hospital mopped up for A. G. 0., 3-0. In spite of the absence of the colorful Dr. Phil Johnson, with his “drop-curve” and inevitable cigarette, the medicos scored more than 500 in each game, The Ambassadors turned the works on Liberty Loan and came ‘out on the long end of a 3-0 score. NEW YORK CITY—The Tri- bune Girls, national colored basket- ball champions, added another game to their’ list_ when they swamped the Lincoln Nurses at the Renaissance Hall 38 to 7, Friday.

APPOINTMENT OF MUNICIPAL JUDGE IS EXPECTED SOON Political Forecasters See Slim Chance of Cobb Being Re-named According to those in the know the selection of a judge of the Municipal Court will be appointed within the next several days. It has been pointed out that Judge James A. Cobb's term expires this spring. Armond W. Scott, prominent attorney and Democrat, is one of the leading candidates for the post. Friends of Judge Cobb are waging a campaign in his behalf, but some of his close admirers as well as several political forecasters stated this week that his chances for re-appointment were slim. Emory B. Smith, former head of the publicity department at Howard University, is said to be a dark horse and has the backing of a well known Chicago Democrat who is high in the party. It is claimed that Attorney William L. Houston and his son Charles, are both candidates, but both deny they are in the running. The latter is acting dean of the Howard Law School. R. R. Horner, a member of the local bar, is also said to have the backing of influential Democats in his quest for the position. Attorney Scott has the advantage of having been a Democrat for many years while most of his opponents climbed on the band wagon during the last presidential campaign. Judge Cobb is a Republican of long standing and supported Herbert Hoover last fall in the fight against Roosevelt and the present administration. ALLEGED RENTAL AGENT GRANTED A NEW TRIAL Grant Parks Convicted of Fraudulently Collecting Funds for Rent Grant Parks, recently convicted of a charge of larceny by trick, was granted a new trial upon a motion by Nathan A. Dobbins, his counsel, Friday. The motion for the new trial was a result of the argument of government prosecutor Carl Kendenberg to the jury. The prosecutor declared that the failure of Parks to take the stand in his own behalf was convincing proof of his guilt. Kendenberg asked the court for a directed verdict. The court refused to grant the request of the prosecutor but preferred that the case go to the jury. Attorney Dobbins asked the court to declare a mistrial because of the remarks made by the government prosecutor. Parks was granted a new trial in another court at a later date. Parks, according to testimony presented at the trial, accepted a rental deposit on certain premises, as an alleged agent of Eugene Davidson, 1335 R Street, Northwest, owner of the property. Davidson had Mrs. Mas Bailey, 1913 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, from whom Parks obtained the deposit, evicted from her apartment. Mrs. Bailey instituted charges of larceny by trick against Parks. Parks was found guilty but will be given a new trial. MINER STUDENTS HOLD FOUNDER'S DAY EXERCISES Honor the Late Dr. Moten in Ceremonies Held in School Auditorium In impressive Founders' Day Exercises held in the college auditorium yesterday afternoon, students and faculty of Miner Teachers' College paid tribute to the late Dr. Lucy E. Moten, one of the founders and for many years principal of the school. Pointing out that it was altogether fitting that teachers who had the good fortune to be train, under Miss Moten's supervision should now have in their charge the training of those now enrolled in the college, Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, made the chief address of the occasion. He enumerated briefly the qualities for which Miss Moten Stood, and asked for their continuance as permanent policies of the college. Mr. A. K. Savoy, assistant superintendent of schools, spoke briefly on the career of Dr. Moten as a teacher; J. Francis Gregory considered her as faculty associate, and Miss Alice Mae Clark, of the class of 1934, evaluated her as a prophet in the world of education. A feature of the program was the unveiling of a portrait of Miss Moten by M. Grant Lucas, president of the Columbian Educational Association. The exercises were concluded with the opening of the new Myrtilla Miner Memorial Library. A basketball game between the Miner five and Maryland State Normal followed. HOEPPEL SCORES CAFE JIM CROW California Congressman Signs DePriest Petition on House Grill Representative John H. Hoepel, of California, seceded racial prejudice in a speech on the floor of the House, Monday. He also signed the petition of Representative Oscar DePriest, who is seeking 145 signers for a roll call petition on the recent barring of his secretary, Morris Lewis, from the House restaurant on account of color. Representative Hoepel said: "I am a firm believer in the democratic principle of self-determination. I also had the privilege of signing another petition today—a petition submitted by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. DePriest), which seeks to prevent racial discrimination. In my service in the army I have served with men of every character and creed. I have no animosity and no prejudice against any man because of his color or his creed." "In the days of the Spanish-American War the Roosevelt Rough Riders were pleased to receive the support of a Negro regiment, the Tenth Cavalry, at the battle of San Juan. That same principle and thought should actuate us here in the Congress. I feel that any citizen of the United States should be entitled to equal consideration one with another." CHILD INJURED IN FIGHT WITH ANOTHER childhood argument ended in near tragedy last Sunday morn- ine when William Smith, 11, of 611 McIntosh Street, South last, was struck in the head and badly injured by a brick thrown by Earl Jones, 10, of 317 McLean Avenue.

N. 2123 Opposite Republic Theatre MENTION THE TRIBUNE BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL First Children's Theatre to Be Organized in Washington Community Committee of Y. W.C.A. to Present New York Group in "Rip Van Winkle" Here With Nationally Known Actors THE C Without a Price Class By HELEN L. SPARKS The Community Committee of the Y.W.C.A., through its previous efforts (the rent survey, the Grand ville recital, the reception for Y officials) to serve the community has already found an affectionate place in the hearts of Washingtonians. It turns now to the fourth major project of the year—that of creating the first Children's Theatre movement for Negroes in the District. The establishment of a children's theatre is prompted by three main purposes. The first aim is to provide wholesome entertainment for children, plays which they can understand and appreciate. The second purpose is to discover and develop the dramatic ability in which our race is so rich. The third and probably the most important objective is to develop a discriminating audience; one which must influence the tone of the American theatre for many years to come. Plays To Be Presented The committee is presenting two plays this spring. The first is "Rip Van Winkle," which is being brought directly from New York with scenery and lighting effects for our benefit. This enthralling production has a cast of nationally known adult actors under the management of the Children's Theatre of New York City. This finished professional play will be given on March 15, at 4 p.m., in the Armstrong High School auditorium. The second is "Sleeping Beauty." This will be played by local talent from the schools of divisions 10-13. This production will be given later in the season. The committee wishes to state that any child who wants to take part in one of the plays to be produced next year should forward his name to The Children's Theatre, Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. Mrs. Clifford Chairman Mrs. Rose Clifford is chairman of the general committee of the Y; Mrs. Ruth G. Savoy is chairman of the Children's Theatre movement, of this committee; Miss Edna West is business manager of the group. These ladies are being assisted by the entire community committee and a group of local teachers in the presentation of these plays. History of Children's Theatre Like many another modern movement, child-drama seems new, when in reality it is not. It has come gropingly up through the ages from the days when little Greeks participated in festivals to Athens, through the time when the Countess de Genlis established in France in 1776, the first theatre of education for children. Countess de Genlis studied the intellectual and spiritual needs of children, and in her searching realized that no plays had been written with a child audience in view. Therefore, the countess, greatly influenced by Rousseau's Treatise on Education, established on her own estate a theatre for children. Here the De Genlis children acted plays written by their mother, NOTE: Your question answered in the clipping of this column is enclosed in your ply—send a quarter (25c) and a self-address for my NEW ASTROLOGY READING—are FREE advice on three (3) questions.

None in England Up to this time no plays had been produced in England with the child audience in mind. The early nineteenth century developed the Christmas pantomime in England, to the delight of child-audiences. In the mid-nineteenth century the child came forward as a participator. An operetta for children in the form of incidents from Mother Goose. It was healthy, innocent, child-like. Met Rebuffs This together with "Pinafore" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin," for a long while, were the only drama for children that America had. Puritan tines had frowned on the child-player; colonial days were too stressful to think of child-drama, and the next decade too poor, too fraught with the rigors of read-justment. The social settlements were the first to recognize the need for Children's plays, and put on home-made versions of "The Sleeping Beauty," "Cinderella," and "The Three Bears." Established in Boston In 1903, a children's theatre, under the direction of Mrs. Nettie Greenleaf, was established in Boston. The plays given were largely of the type produced by the social settlements. They had no especial beauty or ethical quality. Also in 1903 a children's theatre was founded in New York by Miss Alice Herts. The plays were carefully chosen, with the needs of audience and players in mind. One In New York In New York, for the past eight years there has been only one children's theatre. This is the Saturday Morning Theatre directed by Clare Tree Major, in which the players are young adult professionals. In all, Mrs. Major's productions there is bright color, humor, and appeal to childish laughter.

M.—Do you see any serious trouble for me? Ans: This is a year in which you should be VERY CAREFUL as there are various influences in the background. I see you receiving help from a young man named EDDY. The first half of this year is not a good time for ROMANCE. If you are tempted, wait until after JULY. M. E. L.—I don't understand why my boy friend quit me. Will he come back soon? Ans: He won't—but you will meet one you like much better. J. F. S.—When is the best time for me to intercede to get my job back? Ans: You are thinking about a job with the WAR DEPARTMENT, aren't you, Joseph? But you failed to give me your birth date—and without this information I cannot see into your future. M. R. K —Please tell me how my watch mysteriously dies. watch mysteriously disappeared. Ans: You have lost TWO WATCHES now—both belonging to someone else. They were STO- LEN. If you wish to avoid further trouble, I advise you to get a watch of your own, and not wear YOUR SISTERS'. Borrowing is a bad habit anyway. B. Y.-Who will I marry, how soon, and will it be a success? Ans: It seems to me that you will marry a man named ALBIN—and that your marriage will be a success. E. A. T.—Will my husband get the job he is expecting? Ans: I believe your husband will get work with a man he used to work for—and that he will also be very SUCCESSFUL. A.

Man Throws Oil Lamp During a quarrel that occurred last Sunday afternoon, Alberta Boston, 38, of 611 O'Neill's Court, Southwest,was seriously hurt when struck in the face by an oil lamp thrown by her husband, Frances Boston. Conveyed to Providence Hospital in the patrol wagon of No. 4 precinct, she was treated by Dr. Murphy of the emergency staff of that institution for lacerations over the right eye, and later released. Her condition was reported as not serious. AR YOU ACE man Stage because this condition has been a long time developing. You have a hard year before you. Be as cheerful about it as possible, and it can be made to pay rewards later on. Your MAN FRIEND will come around again—he just got tired of hearing so much COMPLAINING. SMILE! A. T.—Shall I have an operation? Ans: I would go about this matter very slowly—since your troubles started through a surplus of nervous energy. If you DO decide to have it, build yourself up with plenty of REST first. June, July, November and December are the DANGEROUS months for you. E. M. M.—What should be my next move to get the happiness I desire? Ans: You will have your hands full to control your EMOTIONS this year—particularly during July and August. Your HEALTH will need watching, too—don't overdo. D. D.—What is wrong with my boy friend or is it my imagination? Ans: When a boy will walk away from you in the middle of a conversation and leave you standing—I wouldn't call it IMAGINATION. He failed you in your ILLNESS—and as far as I can see, he has shown you in EVERY WAY that he is not worthy of your affection. WHERE ARE YOUR EYES? There there is that small matter of his HAVING A WIFE. Consider yourself LUCKY to be rid of such a man. M. C. G.—Will I ever have the good times I have played so long, and why do I have so small amount of boy friends? Ans: I see many more good times in store for you. The boys will like you better if you are not quite so stubborn and set in your ways—feed them a little more TAFFY CANDY—everyone likes that, even when they KNOW it TAFFY. I believe you will meet a new boy friend in CHATTANOOGA ASKS RELEASE OF SCOTTSBORO BOYS Resolutions demanding the release of the Scottsboro boys were sent to Governor Miller, of Alabama; Attorney General Thomas Knight, Judge Callahan, of Decatur, Ala., and President Roosevelt, Tuesday, by the Langston Hughes branch of the League fo Struggle for Negro Rights which met in the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. G. J. Hill is secretary of the branch. The resolution follows: "We, the members of the L.S.N.A., an organization of Negro and white workers, protest your attempts to legally lynch the nine innocent Scottsboro boys. "In your maneuvers to carry out the legal lynching of these Scottsboro boys you are attempting to carry out the program of the white ruling class, whose purpose is through this vicious frame-up to separate the Negro and white worker. We are aware of the fact that such a division would enable the ruling class which you represent to further oppress and exploit the Negro people and the white working class. "The Scottsboro are innocent! We demand that they be released!" — Most people are frankly grateful that work consumes the major part of their working day. It is the tonic that gives spice to their limited freedom. 'OWN YOUR OWN CAB' 1932 Chevrolet Sedans $50 Down Liberal Terms See Mr. Kahn 610 H St., N.E.

Datcher Will Disposes of Estate of More than $30,000 TWO FORMER TEACHER DIVIDES HOLDINGS INTO TEN PARTS Three Testaments Filed In Supreme Court For Probate In a unique will perned in her own distinctive handwriting, the late Miss Jane E. Datcher, former District school teacher, who died February 24, disposed of holdings variously estimated at from $30,000 to $50,000, it was learned here this week when the final testament was filed in the Probate Branch of District Supreme Court. The estate, which is understood to have been made up, for the most part, of bonds and mortgage notes whose value is subject to daily fluctuations, was divided by Miss Datcher into ten equal portions. Several of these portions are bequeathed intact to certain beneficiaries, while others are broken up and divided among various individuals. Three wills were filed for action of the court. The first was dated 1913 and bequeathed Miss Datcher's entire estate to her mother. A second, dated 1923, disposed of certain real estate in New Hampshire. The final testament was dated July 16, 1922, and was witnessed by Colonel H. O. Atwood and Ruth T. Atwood. It reads as follows: "Washington, D.C. "I hereby state that this is my last will. "With the exception of personal property, the estate is to be divided into the following portions and given thus: ("Portion A") To Elizabeth Appo Cook and Ralph Victor Cook. ("Portion B") To Samuel LeCount Cook. “(Portion C) To Gladys Victoria James. “(Portion D) To Adelaide Cook Daly. “(Portion E) To be divided equally among George LeCount Alexander.

West, the Pennsylvania Railroad's premier waiter retired Tuesday, February 27, as head waiter aboard the Pennsylvania Railroad's New York-Washington express, the Congressional Limited. West at the age of 30 began service as a dining-car waiter in 1894 aboard the Nelly Bly, between New York and Pittsburgh—which train, named for the famous woman journalist, was the first on which the Pennsylvania Railroad added a dining car. In 1879, West came to The Congressional Limited, where, for three decades, he filled the gastronomical wants of Presidents and other such notables - as Admiral Togo, of Japan, Prince Henry of Germany, Marshal Foch, Marshal Petain, General John J. Pershing, Dr. C. C. Wu and Admiral Dewey. For the past nineteen years West made his home at 44 A Jewett Avenue, Jersey City, where he has lived with his wife. The veteran head waiter made his last run on Tuesday night and on Wednesday he was honored at a reception given in the office of J. J. Finnegan, general superintendent of the railroad in Jersey City. Philadelphians Seek Candidate for Congress PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Colored citizens of North Philadelphia have demanded that the Republican organization slate a colored man for Congress in the colored district here and another for the legislature. A delegation of prominent men waited on Sheriff Weglein, Republican leader in that section to voire their request. SAYS MISS BYRD DID NOT CREATE RUMPUS IN CAFE White Friend Who Was Present Denies Jurney's Statement CHICAGO (ANP) — "Absolutely untrue!" In those words, Monday, Miss Amelia Sears, white, commissioner of Cook county, denied statements attributed to Chester Jurney, sergeant-at-arms of the United States Senate, implying that Miss Mabel Byrd was ejected from the public restaurant of the Senate because she was disorderly. Jurney's statement was published in The Washington Tribune. Three Others Present At the time Miss Byrd prepared to enter the dining room, she was accompanied by three white persons, Miss Sears, Trevor Bowen, and Mrs. Clara Paul Paige, supervisor of the department of public welfare of Cook county. According to The Tribune, Journey said: "If Miss Byrd had investigated the matter quietly and in a lady-like manner, she would have found that the particular waitress who had refused to serve her was in the wrong. Instead of doing that, she immediately flew into a tantrum and disrupted the lunch-hour quiet of the restaurant with screams and cursions." Miss Sears Surprised When Journey's statement was shown to Miss Sears, she was much surprised that it should have been made and more surprised that a colored newspaper should have given any credence to it. "That is absolutely untrue," she asserted. "Miss Byrd, and Mrs. Paige reached the door of the dining room ahead of Mr. Bowen and myself, looking for a table. A waitress approached and asked Mrs. Paige, in the presence of Miss Byrd, if Miss Byrd was colored. All Protested "When told that she was, the waitress said that she could not eat there. We all protested against that. Shortly, a plainsclothes man approached and supported the stand taken by the waitress. I asked him who his superior officer was and immediately sought this person in the guardroom. "In the meantime, uniformed men came and seized Miss Byrd. She did not curse, but rightfully told them not to touch her inasmuch as she had committed no crime and had created no disturbance, any more than anyone else in the party of four." Miss Sears said that she had explained the incident to Senator Arthur Capper in the presence of Congressman DePriest. (Continued from page 1) in the work of N.A.A.C.P. Mrs. McGuire was unanimously elected and along with her were added four new members to the executive committee: Mrs. Martha S. W. inston, the Rev. R. A. Fairley, W. H. Hastie and William Taylor.

Winston, and William Taylor THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1934 Young Bishop Says Press Leads Fight to Gain Social Justice Young Bishop Says Press Leads Fight to Gain Social Justice COLUMBIA, S.C.—(ANP)—"The newspapers and magazines are leading in the fight for social justice rather than the church," Bishop Noah W. Williams told those attenting the presiding elders' meeting of the A.M.E. Church here Saturday. The presiding elders and the trustees of Allen University, both of whom were in session here heard a trenchant address from the frank and able young prelate. "We should make our sermons fit the every-day experience and needs of the people." said Bishop Williams. "Taken from the excerpts in the papers and the radio broadcasts that we hear I have come to the conclusion that the dominant pulpit of America, both Catholic and Protestant, either does not know the content of the Gospel of Jesus Christ or is too timid or selfish to preach it. "We have to look to the newspapers and magazines, rather than to the dominant pulpit, for a frank fearless, pronouncement against social injustice, intolerance and economic injustices. There are a few but very few exceptions to this rule. Should Help Roosevelt "Another thing is that we as the leaders of the people must do our part to see that the purposes of the President of the United States are not defeated by a few barons who guided by greed and selfishness are damning up the stream so that the plans to increase the purchasing power of the masses is somewhat hindered. "You will find that the rank and file of business men and the manufacturers and even the skilled factory laborer will understand what it will mean to the market for their products when all the people have their power to purchase increased. "In this direction you will need to bring to the attention of the dominant class of our state the question of the share cropper and farm hand in the acreage reduction of cotton. "May I call to your attention also to your duty to keep before those of largest influence and of fairest minds in the state the gross inequalities and injustices as to the public school system as it applies to our group. "In the final analysis those who form the wealth-producing labor pay the taxes and I am sure that the Negro does more than one-twelfth of the wealth-producing labor of South Carolina and yet out of the $14,000,000 for school taxes in the state less than one-twelfth is appropriated for Negro schools. I am sure that a majority of the best white people of the state would not be in favor of this when it is properly brought to their attention." 2 COUPLES ARE FREED OF VOWS 2 COUPLES ARE FREED OF VOWS (Continued from page 1) In the original allegations Mrs. Polk accused her husband and Mrs. Jones of improper conduct at the boarding home of Mrs. Lulu Pierce, in Wildwood, N.J., in 1932, on August 17, 18, 19, and 20. The wife claimed that the two persons registered under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brown. Mrs. Polk further alleged that the couple again misconducted themselves at the same place, under the same name in 1933, on August 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Denials of any acts of misconduct were also made in both the answer of Mrs. Jones and that of Polk, filed shortly thereafter. Upon being served with the correspondent's summons, Mrs. Jones countered with a bill for divorce from her husband. Listed in the allegations against Mr. Jones were: desertion, love affairs with other women, cruelty, gambling and others. Jones Files Cross-bill Immediately upon being advised that his wife had sought the courts in an effort to dissolve their marriage union, Mr. Jones filed a cross-bill based on the same charge, encouched in the original petition filed by Mrs. Polk. Mrs. Pierce, the proprietress of the New Jersey place said to have been the rendezvous of Mr. Polk and Mrs. Jones, her daughter and an employed were brought to Washington for the trial. Their testimony bore out the story of Mrs. Polk and Mr. Jones. It was due to this testimony, principally, that the court signed an interlocutory decree which last week was made final. The defendants have 80 days from the signing of the decree, Justice, Daniels W. O'Donoghue made it plain, in which to file an appeal. Both Mrs. Polk and Mr. Jones were represented by Attorney Nita S. Himman. Caught by Fingerprint LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—When James Hill burglarized the home of A. L. Johnson several weeks ago, he left his fingerprint and was arrested.

OXLEY APPOINTED COMMISSIONER IN LABOR DEPARTM'T Succeeds Karl Phillips; Highly Recommended by Democratic Leaders Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, well known welfare worker of North Carolina, was appointed last week to the post of commissioner of conciliation in the Department of Labor. Lieutenant Oxley succeeds Karl Phillips, who has held the position for several years under Republican administrations. Native of Boston Lieutenant Oxley who retains his title from service in the World War, is a native of Boston. For several years he has been associated with the North Carolina State Board of Public Welfare, heading the division of Negro welfare and relief.

Principal R. Mattingly, of Cardozo High School, informed First Assistante Garnet C. Wilkinson, Saturday that H. Workman, white 1628 Ninth Street, Northwest, has applied for a license to handle liquor at his establishment. This business is said to be within the 400-foot limit of Cardozo School. Other Schools Other schools near which applicants have applied for liquor licenses are as follows: Smallwood-Ambush, L. between Sixth and Seventh Streets, Southwest; Birney, Nichols Avenue and Howard Street, Southeast; Jones, First and L Streets, Northwest; Lincoln, Second and C Streets, Southeast. Douglas-Simmons, First and Pierce Streets, Northwest: Grimke, Ninth Street and Rhode Island Avenue. Affects 6.911 Pupils These schools have an enrollment of 6,911, according to a statement by Mr. Wilkinson, Saturday. He stated that the matter will be taken up with the Board of Education at its next meeting. It developed this week that to determine the distance a liquor establishment is from a school a straight line must be drawn from the entrance from the school to the entrance of the business place. 400-foot Limit Required Although a corner of Garnet-Patterson School 1 within the 400-foot limit, the main entrance of the school on Vermont Avenue is over 400 feet from the entrance of the Wunder Bar in the Masonic Temple. Garnet-Patterson has several entrances, but only the main one is considered, according to the interpretation of the law. The line from a school to a proposed liquor business must be drawn to a street corner at a regular intersection. Allhaug, many persons "cut corners" and jaywalk, the line does not. NEW TRIAL GIVEN MAN WHO SLEW "TELIA" BROWN NEW TRIAL GIVEN MAN WHO SLEW "TELIA" BROWN Louis Jackson Spared Fate Oi Doomed as Lawyers Are Sustained After hearing arguments of defense attorneys, Justice Peyton Gordon last Friday morning set aside a first degree murder conviction and ordered a new trial in the case of Louis Jackson, confessed slayer of his common-law wife, Lutelia Brown, in their home at 2221 Ninth Street, Northwest, on November 13. Two weeks before a jury had returned a verdict of first degree murder after deliberating six hours. Immediately after the motion for a new trial was granted, Attorneys Edward P. Lovett and James G. Tyson entered a plea of guilt to second-degree homicide. The court accepted the plea and sentenced Jackson to life imprisonment. The first-degree conviction carries a mandatory death sentence. In granting the request of the defense counsel, Judge Gordon held that the evidence in the case was not sufficiently strong to show premeditation. Jackson was arrested by headquarters dectives shortly after he had fired three bullets from a .45 calibre revolver into her abdomen. When found he was in an extremely inebriated state in a neighbor's woodshed. A half-empty gallon jar of liquor was on the ground beside him. The shooting was the climax of an argument over the attentions of a man, Charles Jackson, 2205 Ninth Street. Assistant United States Attorney Julian Richards, who prosecuted the case, did not oppose the motion. (Continued from page 1) ing the year. Other Exemptions Other common exemptions from tax, but which must be properly accounted for on the return blank, are amounts received as accident or health insurance for injuries or sickness. Interest paid by the taxpayer on trusts or mortgages on his home is exempt from taxation; gifts made to organized charities, such as the Community Chest, churches or educational foundations, may be deducted. This doc not include, however, gifts made to individuals. Personal taxes or automobile license fees are also deductible, in this same group the taxpayer is allowed a deduction of 2 cents per gallon on gasoline and 1 cent per quart on oil used by him during the year for pleasure driving. Amusement Tax Real estate taxes paid in Washington or anywhere else is a credit that should not be forgotten. A small but nevertheless important item that mounts up, especially to those who are fond of the theatre, football, baseball and other amusements to which admission is charged; is the ten per cent amusement tax added to the price of admission. Count up all the money that you have spent in 1933 for the movies, the ball park, football, etc. take 10 per cent of that amount and deduct that on your income tax return. For those whose indoor sport is clipping coupons, you may deduct all interest received on Federal, state or municipal bonds. Government Active There has been an unprecedented activity in the Bureau of Internal Revenue this year in rounding up and bringing to trial delinquents who have failed to file income tax returns. Ignorance of the law is no excuse for its violation. Due to the tremendous deficit under which the government is operating the drive to enhance income tax receipts will be even more thorough this coming year than it was last year. In most cases the amount of tax paid is inconsistent compared to the time and trouble, and perhaps penalty involved, for failure to file the return. March 15 is the dead line. Beware the Ideas of March! Found Guilty of Murder COLUMBUS. Georgia—Coeper Doomer, 19, was found guilty of the murder of John Pope, whites, grocer, Thursday, and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Showing Mr. Turner four half-pound packages of cheese, Mrs. Barnes declared that they had been given her in exchange for a skip calling for four full pounds. The board official immediately dispatched an employee of his office, Mrs. Jennie Croom, 1901 Seventh Street, Northwest, with a duplicate order and with instructions to present it at the Nichols Avenue store. "Cover" Woman Worker Mrs. Croom, "covered" by her employer and Captain Sidney Marks, of the Eleventh Precinct, went to the store and presented the coupon to Keyser. The store proprietor, unaware that the man who entered the store behind Mrs. Croom was in any way accompanying her, laid her slip on the counter and waited upon Mr. Turner. The latter purchased a package of cigarettes and loitered in the place long enough to light one of them. Meanwhile, Keyser went into the rear of the place to get the cheese. When he returned he presented Mrs. Croom with the same kinds of packages he had given Mrs. Barnes. Lapels Bore Warnings Each package was labeled "Not for sale," and bore the following warning: "Unauthorized diversion of this property of the United States is punishable by a fine of $5,000 to $10,000 or imprisonment from 5 to 10 years, or both. (Criminal codes Sections 35 and 47)." The weight, marked on the outside wrapper of each package handed to Mrs. Barnes and Mrs. Croom, had been turn off. Keyser was arrested and Assistant United States Attorney David A. Hart ordered him charged with violation of the criminal code "unauthorized diversion of Government property." When arraigned before Judge Isaac R. Hilt in United States Branch of Police Court, the merchant entered a plea of not guilty and waived preliminary hearing. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL WHITELAW HOTEL FIGHT RILES JUDGE Orders Petitioners to Settle Difficulties or Hotel Will Be Sold (Continued from page 1) of the property in the event the receivership was terminated. Smith had agreed to the receivership when it began in 1932 in order that the difficulties might be obviated. He contended that he should be given control of the property as he had control at the beginning of the receivership. The firm of Covington, Burling and Rubble, white, contended that whatever rights Smith had in the property had been transferred to them as second trust-holders. Smith's holding at the time of the receivership was junior only to the incumbrance held by the Fidelity Guaranty Company, first trustholders. Receivership Remains After there was so much conflict in the case, Justice O'Donoghue ordered the parties to settle the difficulties peaceably and allowed the receivership to remain. He further stated that the receivership was not indefinite but that unless the differences were settled, a sale of the property would be ordered. There was a contention for control of the property made by the Whitelaw Corporation. The move by the corporation was being sponsored by Cicero A. Lee and Robert W. Robinson, stockholders of the corporation. John Davis Scores NRA Discrimination Denouncing the wage differentials discriminating against Negro workers in the numerous NRA codes, John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery appeared before the Complaint Hearing of the National Recovery Administration on February 28, and stirred the large audience by his spirited attack on the codes. Telling of the results of his personal investigation of the hardships to which the wage differentials had subjected Negro workers and the prejudiced administration of the codes, Mr. Davis scored the Administration for placing no Negro representatives on the Labor Advisory or Consumers Advisory Boards nor appointing a single Negro NRA assistant administrator. "Four Saints" Se for Prolonged Broadway Run NEW YORK CITY—The Gertrude Stein opera, "Four Saints in Three Acts" which had its premiere at the 44th Street Theatre here last week has caught public appreciation to such a degree, it will remain for an extended stay.

Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee for National Recovery lifted up the stone of NRA codes which lies in the grass of Negro economic life Wednesday at the public hearings conducted for critics of the NRA and revealed a pale, sickly, starving Negro. Flush before the eyes of the administrators of the NRA, Mr. Davis placed the picture which showed how the administrators of this great federal agency, indifferent, or occupied otherwise, had, in effect, worked with employing interests in the South to either displace the Negro worker, keep his salary scale at the same level or reduce it and, at the same time on such a reduced salary to live in a world of rising prices. It was a sorry, mean picture of the federal government's relation to 12,000,000 American citizens. Three Types Named First, he turned his attention to three types of differential treatment in the South as between white and black workers. "In the cotton textile industry," asserted Mr. Davis, "outside crews and cleaners were exempt from any maximum hours or minimum wage provisions. Ten of the 13,000 Negro workers in the industry were in the exempted classer." Blames NRA for Death Nevertheless, in spite of the fact that his wage was not increased, and in many cases decreased, Mr. Davis found on a trip through the textile region that a sack of flour which cost 60 cans. before the code went into effect, cost $1.00 afterward, the average increase being 66 per cent. In like manner, the prices of other staples, such as clothing, coal and wood, kerosene, etc., rose. "I can never forget," he dramatically commented, "the baby of a Negro textile worker in Clifton, S.C., who died because milk was too expensive to buy." Bierne for this condition was placed on the NRA. Attractive Differentials Mr. Davis next attacked the practice of establishing regional districts in which to set up differentialials. It is assumed, he said, that these differentialials are applied to the southern states, as they are generally known, but, in order to snare and impoverish Negro workers, the Mason and Dixon line was seriously mangled in many instances. For one differential only three states were defined as southern. For another 15 states and the District of Columbia were included. In some codes, the District of Columbia is South, in others, North. In the fertilizer code, Delaware is placed in the South. Single Out Negro "Analysis will show," asserted Mr. Davis, "that these definitions have been made with an eye to including in the region called 'South' and for which the lowest wage is allowed that territory where the bulk of the labor supply in the industry is Negro. The effect of this has been to continually single out Negro wage earners for discriminatory treatment." "Grandfather Clause" Another type of discrimination, the Joint Recovery executive described as the "economic grandfather clause." In many of the codes, he pointed out, there is a provision which sets up that "the minimum wage for those workers who on July 15, 1929, received more than 30 cents an hour shall be not less than 40 cents an hour and the minimum wage for those workers who received less than 30 cents an hour on that date shall be not less than 30 cents an hour." 37 Cents Under Code "Inasmuch as the wages paid Negro workers were usually less than 30 cents an hour and that paid white workers, usually more," commented Mr. Davis, "it is easy to see at whom the differential is directed." He also showed how Negro longshoremen on the South Atlantic coast receive 37 cents an hour under the codes and white longshoremen on the Pacific coast, $1.00 an hour. Hopkins Professor Talks on "Nonsense as Fine Art" "Nonsense as a Fine Art" was the subject of a lecture by Professor P. M. Wheeler, of Johns Hopkins University at Morgan College Wednesday. Professor Wheeler defined nonsense as a means of escape and relaxation from the grim realities of our daily life. He pointed out the importance of the part played by nonsense in the literature and poetry of the world and gave readings of several of the outstanding nonsensical works. Professor Wheeler's lecture was highly appreciated for its fine educational qualities. He will be presented again, March 7, in a lecture on "The History of Nonsense." Most of what goes into the files might better go into the waste-collector. Baby Born With.

BARBERS' BILL IN VIRGINIA THROWN OUT BARBERS' BILL IN VIRGINIA THROWN OUT Bill Designed by Whites in Opposition to Negroes is Destined to Faid "Barbers' Bill," much under discussion in Virginia since 1928, has been reported out by the General laws committee after a short, bit hot session. Although introduced year after year in the general assembly this is the first time the white barbers have been able to get this bill to the floor of the house. It is freely admitted, however, that it will be defeated. The bill, one designed by white barbers to eliminate Negro competition, has been consistently fought by the Negro barbers and the State Board of Health who see no virtue in the board of three barbers that the bill would institute. T. C. Walker, recently appointed State Advisor and Negro Consultant with the CWA, in Virginia was present in the committee room when the bill was called, also Mr. Reynolds, director, the Inter-racial Commission and your correspondent all of whom spoke in opposition to the bill.

When Police Court Judge Mattingly heard Wiley's side of the af- fair the court wanted to know why the wife wasn't arrested. "She beat me to the District Attorney's office, your honor," said Wiley. Wiley stated that he visited the home of his wife on last Tuesday. He also said he had been contributing to her support. When he reached the home he stated that his wife's aunt and some of her friends beat him up. He also told the court that he was forced to go to a hospital for treatment, and while he was there his wife had the warrant sworn out for his arrest. The court was of the opinion that the wife should have been the ones on trial and released Wiley under a $300 bond pending a trial by jury. He was represented by Attorney Andrew M. Thomas. To Select Site for Memorial to Soldiers PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — The Memorial to Colored Soldiers from Pennsylvania who Fought in All the Wars of the United States has been completed. The monument cost $50,000 and practically all of the money has been paid to the artist who created it. Montgomery officials have offered several sites, one of which is at Camp William Pa., which was donated to the public during the Civil War and where practically all of the colored soldiers from the state who took part in that war were mobilized by Lucretia Mott. A Citizens' meeting held at the Citizens' Club considered prospective sites. A selection will be made later. 0 The chain stores are a nation-wide example of the profit in order and cleanliness.

A large number of places would be li- censed among the poor, white and colored, leading to sociological sore spots; and 4, The old saloon evil would return, According to notices in the public press and personal observations, all four conditions are here even before liquor has been legalized.

T. DUPONT GEORGES. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1934 ee EEENGITUN TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, Kelly Miller Says Why the Negro Should Rally Around Roosevelt All experiments are wasteful. A wise executive is one who decides quickly, acts promptly, and is right half of the time. The Congressional campaign is approaching. Politicians are mending their fences for the coming election which will determine whether they are to retain their seats or remain at home. ‘The majority party confidently expects to retain its hold on power; the minority mere- ly hopes to preserve its skeleton organization and keep its forces in shape for the Presiden- tial election in 1936, if perchance the political winds should veer in a favorable direction by that time. The Grand Old Party of high aims and ideals hardly expects to gain ascendency in either branch of Congress but is on the keen alert to capitalize upon whatever blunders the Admin- istration may make, The party of ancien: glory and achievements, the party that saved the union, abolished slavery and set the nation in the path of prosperity has become a politi- cal bankrupt and is sitting on the stool of do nothing watehfuly waiting to snare the ad- versary if caught off guard. The picture presents a pitiable and pathetic spectacle. URGED NEGROES T0 SUPPORT ROOSEVELT During the last Presidential campaign 4 harangued the Negro voters through the col- umns of the Negro press to the point of weari- semeness, urging them to throw off the an- cient yoke of party subserviency which the race has borne for two voting generations, and face the living issues ofthe day and hour. ‘They were not voting for Lincoln and Grant, Lut for Hoover or Roosevelt. Roosevelt. won with perhaps a re-enforcement of a majority of the Negro vote. Both of the old political parties and their traditions are dead and buried in the same graye, The ancient rivals have swapped is- sues and exchanged patron saints, Jefferson with his rugged individuality has been adopted by the Republicans, while the centralized pow- er of Hamilton has become the Democratic method—if not its slogan, The Republican Party rose to power and glorious achievement on the platform of /hu- man rights and the protective tariff. It has ‘cowardly abandoned the former, while time and ‘events have outmoded the latter, Free trade and state sovereignty—the ancient Democratic strongholds—are merely curious survivals in the estimation of Roosevelt and the powers now in control of its fortune, There are no longer any hard and fast party lines or party issues, The economic emergency has put a new face on the political front. Partizan politics has failed lamentably to meet the requirements of the day and the is- sue, Not only ih America but all over the world the same condition is apparent. Dic- [tatorship has succeeded partizan- government both in Europe and America, In England, France, Germany, Italy, Aus- tria and Russia, and America, dictators are in charge of their respective governments either by assumed or conferred power. No patriot in any Innd is thinking abbut a change, not until the emergency is passed. In time of stress and storm, the captain must command the shins the others must obey. The only practical’ question is whether there can be found a better dictator than Roosevelt, This certainly can not be accomplished by a shift of parties.

AND NEGROES ARB “AMERICAN CITIZENS The Negro has not been singled out in Roose- velt's New Deal, but his clear and declared purpose is that it shall apply equally to ail American citizens without regard to race or color. Mr. Roosevelt, we are sure, will not repeat the political misttke of Woodrow Wilton and ask the country for a partizan Congress to uphold and support his policies. Ent the peo- ple, of their own good sense and judement, will thrust down all reactionaries and obstruy tionists, under whatever ‘partizan guise, and select a crew that will cheerfully and patriot ically uphold the hand of the captain who guides the ship of state so skillfully amidst the troubled Waters.

WOODSON, wt na a eee tee Mier peo and “The Negre Professional Man.” ‘We very often miss the point in emphasizing present day achieve- ments which have not yet stood the test of time, Things transpiring today may be so spectacular as to stir the multitudes, but a few years hence these same developments will be remembered only by those who may happen to live in the lo- cality where they happened. The way in which they are played up by the press and noted also by con- temporary writers misleads the general public in evaluating the present and the past. Actual his- tory, then, does not have a chance, and it must wait hundreds of years. ‘The other day the newspapers played up in bright headlines that Oscar DePriest had lunched with a distinguished colored woman in the cafe of the United States House of Representatives. What of it if he did? He is a member of our highest legislative body, and he ex- ercises his right to entertain his friends anywhere on the premises of the Federal’ Government. This may seem a little unusual, but as soon as we shall have several Ne- groes in Congress it will cease to attract attention. We shall have other representatives i this body just as soon as the Negroes in St. Louis forget the Dyer Anti-Lynch- ing Bill, just as soon as the Negro politicians in New York se fall- ing out about who shall be the sec- retary of their jim-erow Y.M.C.A., just as soon as our bosses in Phil- adelphia stop selling out to the highest bidder, Press Overlooks the Real Important Things While these newspapers were playing up the affair of the repast given by Congressman DePriest they said nothing about the signi- ficant things which he was doing at that very time. I remember dis- tinctly that during that same week he brought before a member of the President's Cabinet two very im- portant questions, The one dealt with the claims of the Negro archi- tects to be employed in the Public Works Administration along with the thousands of whites who are now being called into that service. The other important matter was that of stimulating in some effec- tive w. 7 the efforts of such Negro artists “as musicians, dramatists, painters, and sculptors. Of these efforts the newspapers took no note whatever. I observe also that we give equally as much space to the un- fortunate Negroes who as heads of schools and other institutions now impoverished by the depression have had sufficient influence to work their way into the United States Government service where regular pay for the time being is assured. Almost every week, then, we see their cuts in the newspapers with sketches of their lives pre- senting this temporary escape from the readline us the crowning achievements of such cazeers. Some ‘progress has been notec, however, for under the Hoover 2iministra- ‘tion the best the Negrces could do -was-to run their cuts } the news- ‘papers when they were invited to one of the housing or educational conferences. We should regard the large ma- jority of these Federal appoint- ments as steps backward, As re- wards for party loyalty we expect roliticians tc be thus Fonored, and Negroes who have served in this capacity are entitled to thei. share, But we know chat any successful educator, lawyer, or business man thas no time to bother with the ‘Unii-d States Government eervice. The fact that he has accepted.sueh f position is evidence of the failure to succeed where he ws. It is merely a matter of obtaining 0 much, income by exe-vising the “puil” that is necessary to secure the position, There is no honor at- tached to these appointments since the iacumbents do not thereby ob- tain anv social recognition fro.a the other fu.ictionaries of the Federal Government, and not one of these Negroes has ever been able to influence the policy of the Federal Government. The Direc- tors of the Bureau of Negro Eco- nomies during the World War is the only Negro who has ever been unwise enough to think that such a thing could be done, and I am sure that he would’ never under- take it again. I was amused the other day when one of our outstanding citi- zens became very much disgusted with the Negroes now holding of- fices here in Washington because of their regent inaction a an in terracial dinner. The Ascictant Secretary of the Interior was there and spoke on what the United States Government is doing for ite minority groups but sald nothing whatever about what it is doing for the Negro in the United States, These recently appointed officehold ers who were in Lie and were called upon to sp: ter this cen- fieman had thar ignered. the eon: stituency which they represented haat ere te oe ae en tion to propound in evoking from Appointments Seen as Being Backward Steps the Assistant Secretary of the In- terior any comment that he might have to make with respect to the attitude of the present administra- tion toward the American Negro. Positions Obtained by Pull are Valueless I had to inform this complaintant that Negroes appointed to the United States Government service obtain their ae by “pull,” or they are called into the Federal Government to save its face before the world in keeping up a pretence as to what they are doing for the element which they represent. The Federal Government has not done and does not expect to do anything in particular for the Negro. When we find our supposedly useful men going into such positiors, then, we should receive the news with sad- ness, We need to work as well as prey ,for the time when we shall able to keep our outstanding men out of the bread-line and a- way from the “political pie count- er.” We need them in positions of usefulness for the enlightenment, the beesniaing and Cider d of the masses of black people, Under proper leadership they will favor- ‘ably respond to a sane program for the execution of which the talent of the race can be used to better effect than in throwing a- way time drawing a high salary for three or four years. ‘The fact is that a Negro who has to accept a government position which pays even as much as five or ten thousand dollair a year is not contributing as much ‘to the progress of the race as that Ne- gro who can run a clean restau- rant, a grocery store or ‘a haber- dashery.

In order that we might pass the torch along we must in the language of Mae West “have a feeling” for the solution to these problems. Strolling into barberships, ham- burger amble inns, charches, and professional circles, the occupants are found discussing prohibition and repeal. Very good arguments pro and eon on the question. Some groups have conceded that repeal is the best thing and that prohi- bition is history which will soon become mythical. Protests are being made to the legislative agencies, as to where a liquor dispensary should be estab- lished. Distributors are wrangling over the economic aspect of the question by trying to stabilize or regulate the price of the concoc- tive liquors. “Yet the question of most importance to the Negro, as a minority group, is whether the Negro will become intemperant or remain temperant as the case may be, in the meeting of the issues of the alcoholic problem, The death rate is likely to be increased with such an enormous flow of the good old Demon Rum. As a minority group, it should be our purpose to inerease in numbers rather than suffer from the evils of liquor. Qur population should increase, Will it increase with Ne- gro youth exposed to such a temp- tation, legally authorized? Exponents of the “wet side” hold that there will be less drinking as the legal restrictions have been re- moved, Yet, legal restrictions have preserved this so-called democratic government under which we live. The restrictions placed upon the citizens by the enactment of laws have received the support of moral agencies in our society. Those moral agencies are dominated by the influence of the church. In or- der to remove any evil which is detrimental to the well-being of a group, the law and the co-opera- tion of moral agencies become the most valuable weapons of society. Let us hope that the church has not compromised nor will compro- mise with the law in this respect. The militant leadership. of ~the “drys” must again weave itself in- to the hearts and minds of the American people. W. Harold Flowers. tees I asked Mr. Flowers to give me an article concerning temperance. T suggested that topic to him be- cause he carried = heated argu- ment on that particular subject at the Rhambo Rho Gamma Round Table last Thursday night. I attended that discussion, but refrained from giving any opinion. The sentiment was so strong for temperance (naturally it would since everybody was in church at the time) that I dared to admit that I was leaning toward the wets, But we must admit that the good old days ave back again, Aman no longer has to slip or dodge around alley corners to buy a bot- tle of whiskey from the bootlegger. He can now walk into a clean re- spectable looking place and pur- chase his liquor and walk out with it under his arm like a man, The government gets the profits in this kind of a deal, and the purchaser gets good whiskey instead of “over night corn.” ‘Many of us are inclined to think that since We are Christians we can not drink alcohol, T agree that anything carried too far is bad— even eating. But I contend that a man can be a Christian and drink, that is providing he does not carry it'to an excess, Whiskey and wine is good for one’s health to a great degree, I base this fact upon the Bible -it- self. The first Epistle of Pau] the Apostle to Timothy the 23rd verse, reads: “Drink no longer water, but @ little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.” By judging from the opinions that I have chanced to hear, the wets can not be too sure of their vie~ tory in restoring King Rum to his throne, Already it is beginning to get unpopular for one to admit that he + drinks, and soon we will see such sentiment branding: persons - that indulge in drinking as “disrespec- table.” Personally I see very little dif- ference in prohibition and nonpro- hibition. To me it is like the dif- ference between tweddle de and tweddie dum. I think it is just one of the issues that God put be- fore men on earth to keep them from getting tired of the same old thing. We get whiskey and then sve turn right around and begin a fight for prohibition. What a life! es Va. News Leader; Miss Margaret Jones, Society of Friends; W. P.

The putstanding event of the week that graces the calendar is the Omega Mardi Gras to be given et the Lincoln Colonnade this Friday, March 9. There will be many forms of entertainment, sawdust midway, pink elephants, Hula dancers, and what have you—I won't tell you all— there must be some surprises. Carnival costumes are being discussed ‘on every side. Reminds one of the “What Good Are We?” annual. “Who will be the Queen?” This is the question asked by the fra- terhity. The guests wil! mask until 1 o'clock, and will there be fun? Just you wait. Another treat is in store for you a little later. Are you anxious? Tam sure, you are. Well, to keep you from puzzling your brain, let me tell you to look your best, put on your Sunday “bib and tucker” and come out to the “Bai Vogue” on April 13, at the Lincoln Colonnade. Yu do not know what that means? Can't’ tell you—it's a surprise.

Well you jusi wait and see. They say that there is nothing new under the sun. This may be true, but the newness comes in the Presentation. “Thy spice of the pudding is the sauce.” Watch for developments. On last Friday evening, the Bota Sigma chapter of the Delta Sigine eta Sorority held the spot-light when they entertained at the Ma- sonic Temple with their spring prom. The dance, the prettiest the sea- son has offered, was well attended. The decorations were most unique.

On cach side of the orches- tra, in front of the lounge, and around each post in the center of the floor palms were placed. Hang- ing from each post around the dies of the hall were large vases filled with fresh cut roses, ferns and pussy willows, Under soft lights, which added to the spring atmos- phere, one danced as though in a lovely flower garden, ‘The dresses worn by the ladies Were most attractive and of the latest design, Among tho many guests present were: Cato Adams, Dr. and Mrs. George Adams, Mr. and Mrs, E.R.

That is it’s a beautiful memory to all but a certain Q Street, matron, To' her it’s still a horrible howling, nightmare, And here’s the reason! why. She didn’t get to go, Weeks before the dance Mrs. Ambrose Shief (wife of that very popular attorney of Hopkins Street,) said to the Q Street ma- tron: “You'll, get your invitation soon.” Now Mrs. Shiet is one of the most loyal, sororityminded in~ dividuals you'd ever want to see. (she is the best kind of a secretary to the Beta Sigmas this very min- ute, and she has been all the way from gay New York to Des Moines, Towa, representing that same sor- ority.) And of course with the Beta Sigma’s secretary thinking so kindly of hey the matron really felt honored indeed. And as soon as the welcome “invite” arrived she put it away in a safe, safe place. A new dress was out of the question, so after her daily la~ borious duties the poor little Q Street matron spent long, long nights re-making a grand old rose- colored dress. ‘Twas finally fin- ished (I mean the dress), and the evening of evenings had come, But the matron was terribly tired, and remembering that ‘sleep brings beauty” (at least to some) she rushed to her room to rest. Hours afterward she awakened and heard her hall clock striking the hour of 2am. In an hour the dance would be over. Could she make it? She couldn't So back to bed, but not to sleep (old Nightmare saw to that). Now if you happen to catch that @ Street matron snatching & nap or two at a time or place that’s inopportune, be lénient with her, please, for she really isn’t as stupid as she seems. She's simply trying to got her “snoozing” done before the Beta Sigmas dance again. definite program for next year, though they are scheduling « meet- ing for the latter part of April. sees SOCIETY BRIEFS AT A GLANCE | Mrs. Nellie Polk, of 127 U Street, Northwest, continues quite ill.

N. The Bronze Masque of Freedmen's Nursing School presented "The Rebellion of Youth,' a two-act play at the Howard University Medical School Auditorium, Saturday. The comedy was skillfully adapted and the young actresses seized every opportunity for creative acting. The story of the play is that of a mother who in her girlhood has tried to kick over the traces, and in her turn has three daughters who show a strong tendency to repeat her experiences. The mother takes the advice of an humble but very wise neighbor and adopts very strenuous and, socially, somewhat dangerous methods to bring her high-spirited girls to their senses. Edith Campbell, as Edith and Clara Blake as Martha were indeed rebellious but charming daughters Virginia Mosley as Mary, the youngest daughter, was played in contrast and with much originality. Latis Caver displayed much versatility in that she very effectively portrayed the grandmother in the prologue, the worried mother in act one, and the rejuvenated mother in act two, who turned the tables on her daughters and quenched their revolt. Henrietta Neely Pleasing Henrietta Neely is the humble neighbor, Mrs. McGill, was a great favorite of the audience throughout the play. Mamie O. Hale as Miss Abbie Snip, "the gossip," brought genuine laughter from the audience whenever she appeared. Melba Miller as Aunt Midge will long be remembered for her perfect characterization and original humor. Bernice Jones was convincing as Mrs. Jimmy Cleighton. Hester Rice as Georgia Carter, played her role with much sympathy and understanding. Dorcas Pinn was very attractive in her role as Jannet Rudder. Evelyn Skipper as Josie Pepper found no difficulty in leading Mrs. Denton, the mother of the rebellious girls, to the bright lights of the Primrose Path. Madeline Crue, the rebellious daughter of the epilogue, was most sympathetic and fascinating, as she leaned on her mother's lap, listening to the story. Edith Campbell, the mother, brought the play to a fitting climax by tenderly convincing her daughter that "youth should not rebell PROF. NAGAYAMA'S SCHOOL OF BEAUTY CULTURE 1827 14th STREET, N.W.

Cause of Blackheads Blackheads are very noticeable and mar the beauty of the complexion. They are caused by the tendency of the secretion of the sebaceous glands to harden. A Facial will prevent their forming. The Cause of Gray Hair Nervous disorder, systemic disturbances or injury are cause of grazing hair. The pigment in the hair shaft is replaced by air bubbles. When the first gray hair appears it is usually pulled out, but soon there are too many to yield to this treatment. Then comes the question of "to dye or not to dye?"

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Women in Business Women in Business By THE ONLOOKER This is the first of a series of articles on Washington women in business. The second will be published next week.—EDITOR'S NOTE. "Can you get me a job?" is the question asked almost daily at the information desk of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. Often it is a young girl just out of school (or of that age) with no special training to qualify her for any particular kind of work. Our high schools give excellent training for higher courses, of study and graduates from these schools often make most excellent records in Eastern colleges. But school officials state that only about 24 out of every hundred high school graduates go to college. Of the 76 who stop school with a high school diploma and the many hundred others who do not finish high school, a large percentage are girls. What are they prepared to do? With the hope of inspiring our young girls to prepare for doing something more than "a job," attention is called to some women who are in business. Besides the usual lines of work for women as in homes, teaching and sewing, statistics give colored women as employed in the following vocations; stenographers, bookkeepers, printers, policewomen, mail-carriers, postmistresses, "news boys," shoe repairers, shoe shiners, taxi drivers, designers, stone masons, carpenters, plasterers, painters, undertakers, bankers and preachers. First "Street Scene" Manuscript Goes on Sale for Scottsboro Fund CARMEL, Calif.—(ANP) — Elmer Rice has sent for the Scottsboro Defense Sale at the Western Women's Club in San Francisco, the original first draft in his own handwriting of the germ-idea or theme which later developed into his now famous stage and screen success, "Street Scene." In sending this highly valuable original manuscript, Mr. Rice writes to Langston Hughes, "Because of my great interest in the Scottsboro Defense fund, to which I have made frequent contributions, I am sending you a manuscript which for me has a rather sentimental value.

Mrs. G. B. Reid, chairman of this group of women, is herself most excellent example and inspiration for our girls. Mrs. Reid is a Washington woman and came through local schools. By experience she realizes how little one is prepared for business without special training along those lines. Much of this success and expansion of "Reid's Corner" at Eleventh and U Streets, Northwest, from a little music store to a department store, is due to Mrs. Reid who has been in business with her husband for fourteen years. She is book-keeper and sales manager of the store. She has the training of the salesmen in the store and realizes how little preparation they have for business. Business-like and genial in manner. Mrs. Reid is an example of business success. She has not only developed a ladies' department where one can purchase attire from kitchen dress to evening apparel, but there is a complete department store. What Mrs. Reid has done in business at "Reid's Corner" can be duplicated on many other corners of Washington by others with vision and training. which my play 'Street Scene' subsequently developed." Another very valuable contribution to the sale has been sent from the South. It is the original paper for the sale of a slave dated back more than seventy years ago, and extremely valuable to collectors. JACKSONVILLE, Tenn.—Miss Hazel V.

Finally a friend of the vaudeville boards suggested that, for real opportunity, she should storm the portals of the New York booking agents. In 1924, she was successful and was signed for a nation-wide Keith-Orpheum tour. When she returned a year later, night club engagements were added to her vaudeville contract and she started her Broadway night club career at the Everglades and later the Plantation. The next year she toured on the road in "Miss Calico," her first legitimate show, and wound up in Chicago, where she became a sensation at the Cafe de Paris. This was followed by more New York night club engagements, a road tour in "Africana," her first film appearance in "On With the Show," and a trip to London, where she started at the Kit-Kat Club. Eugene Kinckle Jones Addresses Students Outlining to the student body of Armstrong High School the necessity for leadership and initiative among members of the race. Eugene Kinckle Jones, advisor on Negro Affairs in the Department of Commerce, spoke in the school auditorium Tuesday. "No other race has accomplished as much in seventy years as we have," said Mr. Jones. "No other peoples on the earth have more God-given talent than a Negro. Yet without good leaders and initiative, the Negro will soon find himself lost in the change of government," he concluded Philadelphia Nurses to Hold Capping Exercises Mrs. Mary C. Eden, directress of nurses at the Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing and a member of the state board of examiners for the registration of nurses, will deliver the principal address at the annual capping exercises of the probationers of the Mercy School for Nurses, to be held in the Phillips Auditorium, 5000 Woodland Avenue, Philadelphia, Monday evening, March 5. NOT FIRED, BUT HELD OVERTIME ON OIL PROGRAM HAS INTRODUCED MANY SONG HITS Reports that Ethel Waters, premiere star of the stage and radio, had been ousted from her position as star on the "American Oil Revue," popular Columbia network Sunday night feature, because of a whispering campaign conducted against her by Southern white women, were found to be untrue when investigated by a Tribune reporter this week. The real facts in the case, it was found, are that Miss Waters was held over on the program by popular demand for several weeks after her original contract had expired, and dropped only in the interest of greater variety for the broadcast. She is still the star of the great Broadway success, "As Thousands Cheer," and is in addition appearing nightly in a floor show at the Palais Royale, New York night club. The story of Miss Waters's sudden rise to fame reads like a fiction story. Her father died soon after she was born, in an humble shack in Chester, Pa. Her mother had to work, so Ethel went to live with an elderly grandmother in Maryland who was not in much better circumstances. The grandmother fell ill when Ethel was still a child, so the responsibility of support for her grandmother and herself fell on her young, but strong, shoulders. She began by taking care of children, and then, while still in her mid-teens, worked for $1.35 a day washing, ironing, cooking and doing all the housekeeping for a family of ten. At 17 she got a job as dishwasher in a hotel and finally graduated to waitress. Soon after that her grandmother died and she was left alone in the world. Goes to Baltimore Her voice was natural, and, of course, it wasn't trained, for where would money or time for music lessons come from? Such luxuries weren't even dreamed of. At night she used to find relief in song with her equally humble and struggling neighbors. A small time vaudville booker happened to hear her one night and as a result a timid girl stepped onto a small Baltimore stage a few days later and started what was to be an amazing rise from the poverty which had shackled her to the affluence of show-world royalty. Her star prospered and for some time she trouped throughout the country in vaudeville. Prohibition did not exist in that time. Caharets, buffet flats and the ever present corner saloon were operating full blast in Harlem. Well known names such as Baron's, Dolphin's, Goldgrabin, Conner's, Small's, and Edmund's did a thriving business. Edmund's, known throughout Man- 3 VOICE PROTESTS AGAINST TEMPLE LIQUOR LICENSE Protests against the sale of Iiquor in the Temple Luncheonette, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, will be resumed Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The hearing, begun Wednesday afternoon, went over the time set for the Alcohol Beverage Commission to quit and as a result only three persons were heard before Chairman George W. Offut ordered the continuance. Attorney J. Franklin Wilson, representing the remonstrant group of residents of the community in which the Luncheonette is situated, called three witnesses to the table to testify against the issuance of a license to the applicants. Mrs. J. F. Holland, Mrs. Amanda Hillier and Mrs. Bruce Evans, all residents of Lieventh Street and Vermont Avenue adjacent to the Mussonic Building, were those to voice protests against the permit. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE LDREN TO TERS NOW HER LONG GOLD I LORRA KOBILAN EN TO A S NOW LONG, GOLD IN GOLD IN HER VOCAL CHORDS Goes on Broadway When she returned from abroad, she graduated to real stardom in two revues, "Blackbirds of 1928" and "Rhapsody in Black." In April 1933, she went into the faded Cotton Club, where thousands focked to hear her sing "Stormy Weather." Irvin Berlin, who had observed her with keen interest, then signed her up for the current revue, "As Thousands Cheer," which opened last fall. Her songs have been the hit of the show, which, in turn, has proved to be Broadway's hit revue of the season. Her radio contract soon followed this spectacular success. She is said to have introduced more hit songs than any other performer—more than 50 in all. Among them are: "Stormy Weather," "Dinah," and "To Be or Not To Be My Man," a high spot of "As Thousands Cheer." She and her accompanist, Pearl Wright, met December 17, 1922, and they have been trouping together ever since. RADIO ARTIST IS STUDENT AT TECH William Kenny, former student of Douglass High School at Baltimore and an outstanding radio artist, is now a student at the Armstrong High School. Kenny, who achieved quite a name as a silver-toned tenor, has appeared at several night clubs. Among these were the Savoy Ballroom and the White Cotton Club at Baltimore. Besides being featured over radio Station WCBM, he was a guest soloist with Bubble Johnson's famous orchestra of Baltimore. Kenny has been in Washington only one month, but has appeared before the public on several occasions. Among his appearances here are the Howard Theatre, where he captured first place in an amateur contest held there soon after he arrived in Washington, and the "1934 Revue" at the Lincoln Colonnade recently.

She rehearses each of her songs over and over for hours at a time. Doesn't like "St. Louis Blues," although she has to do it often by request, but "My Man" is one of her favorite songs. Is a frequent benefit performer and spends a large part of her income on charity, remembering her own early days. Gives free singing lessons to poor but talented children. Has a prodigious memory and recalls both tunes and lyrics of songs she did ten years ago—but the can't remember jokes. Sings Russian, Jewish and French songs, in native tongues, with ease, but doesn't speak any foreign language. Is inordinately fond of bread and gravy—also doughnuts and coffee, dunking the doughnuts. Insists on buying shoes that are too big for her. Is as crazy about Coney Island as a school girl, and goes in for all the rides and roller coasters.

ETTEL WATERS (center) poses here with the cast of her new show, which opened recently at the Palais Royale in New York, and is now taking staid old Broadway by storm.

Mrs. Leach was given first aid at the relief station in the building and removed to Providence Hospital, where she was found to be suffering from spinal injuries. According to information received by The Tribune, Mrs. Leach was trying to rescue the lunch of Mrs. Jessie G. Berry, 70 R Street, a fellow worker. It was reported that Mrs. Berry's lunch fell out of a window on a skylight. Mrs. Leach is said to have tried to rescue it with a long stick. Failing by this means she is said to have climbed out of the window onto the skylight which gave way and her weight, sending her to the floor below.

Of course the show is built around Miss Waters, and needless to say, she delivers a performance in the true Watersian manner. In a word she proved on opening night, what was generally anticipated, a hit—a dynamic hit. The celebrated song writing team, Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh, who wrote the outstanding hits in "Blackbirds," are directly responsible for the music in the current Palais Royal show. Among the numbers is a potential hit, "You've Seen Harlem At Its Best," and in doing this number Ethel is at her best. Like her "Stormy Weather," Ethel's rendition of the new number will, in all probability sweep the nation like a tidal wave. John Davis Elected to Juridical Committee John Preston Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery has recently been notified of his election to the National Committee of the International Juridical Association.

Taliaferro at a recent meeting. The music for this occasion was furnished by a quartette of Armstrong graduates, the Dixie Reveries, and by the noted baritone, Robert Todd Duncan. A special committee to raise the bud- Mrs. Hamilton year is headed by Clarence Phelps Dodge, president of the Community Chest, with Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools, as treasurer. The other members of this committee are: Canon Anson Phelps Stokes, Miss Margaret Jones, of the Friends' Meeting House; Miss M. E. Coulson, of the Council of Social Agencies; Mrs. William Addison Slade, Major Campbell Johnson, and Dr. Clara S. Taliafero. Cites Bad Record Canon Stokes has this to say of the movement: "I am sure that you must know how deeply interested I am in this proposed settlement. The district in which the settlement is to be established, if funds permit, has the worst record from the standpoint of juvenile crime in the city. I am sure that this is not because of any inherent viciousness in its youthful population, but because of poor housing conditions and inadequate recreational facilities. "The proposed settlement house will give a center for social welfare work among old and young, men and women, and should provide a headquarters for many activities which in the end will undoubtedly not only reduce crime but greatly improve moral standards in the District." "As the work is to be among the colored people, it will help greatly in getting larger subscriptions from white people if the colored people of the neighborhood show their interest by a large number of small subscriptions." The present officers of the club are: Dr. Clara S. Tallaferro, president; Attorney Isadore A. Letcher, vice-president; Mrs. Julia M. McKay, secretary; and Mrs. Mary F. Thompson, treasurer. Organized Club Several years ago Dr. Clara Smyth Talianferro conceived the idea of trying to establish a home for delinquent colored girls and to this end organized the Tuesday Evening Club of Social Workers. There is no boarding home here for incoercible colored girls and this group sent two girls to a home in Philadelphia and raised money by personal contribution to pay the cost of keeping them there for an indefinite time. Purchases Building The club worked to raise money to purchase a building and bought its present property at the northeast corner of Sixth and M Streets, Northwest, in 1928. After conference with Captain Rhoda Milliken, of the Woman's Bureau, the club decided to try to operate in this building a social settlement. The happiness of people is all that makes business or anything else worth while. THEATERS SPORTS S. Thalaterre, at a recent meeting. The music for this occasion was furnished by a quartette of Arms strong, graduates, the Dixie Reveries, and by the noted baritone, Robert Todd Duncan. A speci committee to raise the bud for the first PUPILS OF CITY ASKED TO GIVE ONE CENT EACH PUPILS OF CITY ASKED TO GIVE ONE CENT EACH Board of Education Approves Plan Submitted by M. Grant Lucas The proposal of the Columbian Educational Association that permission be granted to pupils in colored schools here to make a voluntary contribution of one cent toward improving the grounds of the Memorial Home of Frederick Douglass in Anacostia, was approved by the Board of Education, Wednesday. The proposal was submitted by M. Grant Lucas, president of the association and principal of Wormley School. To Give One Cent In a statement to The Tribune, Prof. Lucas stated that the plan is simple and it is proposed that all school children in the country are to donate a penny to the upkeep of the grounds. He stated that the subscriptions must be voluntary and limited to one day only, Tuesday, April 3. The amount collected must be sent on the following day to W. W. Sanders, executive secretary of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, at the Henry Wilson School, Washington. The home has been made a permanent shrine and is held in trust by the Douglass Memorial Association. The house is on a high hill and is in an excellent state of preservation. It is well kept by a paid caretaker and contains numerous relics of historical interest. Grounds Need Repair However, the grounds which cover about two city blocks, on account of insufficient funds, are sadly in need of attention. The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools endorsed the suggestion by a resolution in their annual convention in Louisville last summer. Precedent of children contributing for the upkeep of historical places was established by the Board of Education relating to contributions for the rehabilitation of Old Ironides for the liquidation of the indebtedness in Monticello, and for Wakefield, the birthplace of George Washington. Frown on Liquor The board passed a resolution which will be sent to the Alcoholic Control Board taking a stand against the sale of liquor in the vicinity of schools. Extending free hot lunches to students in senior and junior high and vocational schools by the District Emergency Relief Administration was authorized by the board. Where there are cafeterias the principals will be paid a sum of money by Leroy Halbert, director of the Emergency Relief Administration, and the money turned over to the cafeterias for needy students. Appointment Approved The temporary appointment of Miss M. T. Ruffin as teacher at Armstrong High School was approved. Temporary extensions were approved in the cases of Miss R. T. McLemore, librarian Miner Teachers' College, and R. A. Lloyd and Miss R. E. Knox, teachers at Miner Teachers' College and Randall Junior High School, respectively. Banneker Pool to According to an announcement Friday by Captain Howard F. Clark, an executive of the District Civil Works Administration, the local CWA force will complete the construction of the Banneker swimming pool and the one for whites at Takoma Park. Captain Clark said that $25,000 would be needed for the purchase of additional materials needed for the projects and that this would necessitate curtailment of other CWA programs because the District has been provided with but $250,000 for CWA materials between now and May 1. Construction of the pools would have been stopped Monday if the District had not assumed the projects, and about 200 men employed on the pools would have had to be dropped, park officials said.
