Scott as judge of the Municipal Court when citi- zens learned that his appointment was opposed by the colored and white bar associations. Attorney Scott was recommended to the President last Wednesday by Attorney General Cummings to succeed Judge James A. Cobb. Following the recommendation of Scott the bar groups sent a delegation to the White House asking that Judge Cobb be retained. When this move of the part of the associations was learned friends and admirers of Scott began to bombard the White House with endorsements of the candidate and urged that he be named by the President. Political observers are of the opinion that unless Scott is appointed to the post the judgement will be given to a white man as there are no other Negro Democrat in the District with a record as impressive as Scott's who has been supporting the party for over a quarter century and has never held a public office. It was also pointed out that local white people know this and are in favor of the colored groups fighting for Cobb as the administration has shown its desire to replace him and it is evident that he will not be reappointed. When Scott is rejected the administration will be forced to turn to a white man for the job and as a re- (Continued on page 2) TRIBUNE TO HAVE NEWSBOYS BAND To Hold Meeting Tuesday at Murray Casino to Perfect Details At a meeting on Tuesday night, May 15, at the Murray Casino, 920 U Street, Northwest, plans for the organization of the Tribune Newshoys' Band will be presented and discussed.

MAN HELD IN MONTH-OLD SLAYING Moses Calhoun Held When Woman Dies of Wounds From April Shooting One month after Mrs. Daisy Haskins, who died last Tuesday at Gallinger Hospital, was shot, her "boy friend" and assailant was ordered held for the action of the grand jury at a coroner's inquest and charged with her murder. Mrs. Haskins was mortally wounded during an argument with Moses Calhoun, 45 years old, of 1238 Delaware Avenue, Southwest, on April 3. She was taken to Gallinger Hospital, where physicians found her suffering from a gunshot wound of the upper left leg. Testimony at the inquiry, held at the District Morgue, Friday, revealed that the wound, although apparently of little consequence, responded so slowly to treatment that doctors at the hospital decided she should be kept under close observation. Detective Sergeants 'Ogle and McVearrie testified that upon receiving such information from the hospital physicians they apprehended Calhoun and ordered him held pending the outcome of the injuries. According to the story as told by John Blackman, 215 G Street, Southwest, Marie Gray, 125 G Street, Southwest, and Della Page, 459 L Street, Southwest, the entire party had been visiting at 1232 Delaware Avenue, a few doors below where Calhoun and Mrs. Haskins lived. They claimed that following an argument between the woman and the man charged with her slaying, the latter whipped out a .38 calibre revolver and began firing. The group was unable to agree on the number of shots fired, but it was determined that only one took effect. Toximia poisoning which set in the wounded leg caused the death, of Mrs. Haskins early last week.

Cobb as District Municipal Judge, was returned to the Attorney General by President Roosevelt for reconsideration yesterday.

A jury of five white and one colored ordered him detained for the action of the grand jury. DuValle, protesting his innocence to a Tribune reporter, was led to the District Jail, there to await a hearing on probably second-degree, possibly first-degree murder. "I was framed," he told the reporter in an understory just before police carried him from the morgue room. He would say no more. Had Been Drinking According to the version given police and the coroner's jury by Fannie Robinson, 1439 N Street, Northwest; the only eye-witness to the shooting, DuValle shot James Johnson, 38, 223 E.

CONVENTION SMASHES JIM- CROW RULE PANA, III.. Although this Southern Illinois town has always been regarded as a Jim Crow city, not a single instance of white chauvinism among workers, occurred when black and white delegates came here from the Chicago district convention of the International Labor Defense.

Price 5 Cents Copy Embezzlement Charged to Wife of Dr. Hugh Gray; Council Makes Appeal CITIZENS UPHOLD HER CHARACTER Mrs. Pearl Gray, 1517 P Street, Northwest, was found guilty of embezzlement and conversion of money taken from dead letters in a verdict returned by a District Sup- reme Court injure, after three hours of deliberation. Attor- neys for the defense noted exceptions and intimated they would appeal Bail was refused and Mrs. Gray was remanded to jail. However, Augustus Gray, one of her attorneys, stated that arrangement ts were being made to have her released Friday. The fate of Mrs. Pearl Gray, charged with embezzlement of certain money while an employee of the Dead Letter Office in the City Post Office, was placed in the hands of a District Supreme Court jury this (Thursday) afternoon at 12:29 o'clock. At 2 o'clock no verdict had been reached and indications were that it would be sometime before it would be disposed of. Attorneys charged the panel of twelve white men shortly before 10:30. Assistant United States Attorney Irving Goldstein began his argument at 10:24 and concluded it at 10:41. In his seventeen minutes of discussion he pointed out that it was very important that the hundreds of thousands of persons employed in the handling of the mails be possessors of characters that were above reproach. No Prejudice Shown "We have been quibbling now for two days," the District Attorney defended. "It is time we stopped. As between Pearl Gray and the two postal inspectors you known and I know there is no prejudice end no feeling." Later in his argument Mr. Goldstein attacked the version of the defense that Mrs. Gray had intended replacing the money she changed with money of her own. In this connection he said, "The law doesn't excuse a criminal if he's sorry after he has committed a crime. That she went to a white restaurant and changed the money prior to going into the colored restaurant to spend it offers proof that she intended to convert it to her own use with the least possible chance of discovery." Defense Argument Brilliant Levi David, chief defense counsel, followed Mr. Goldstein. A brilliant argument was wound around the theory that Mrs. Gray was responsible for the money until the close of business. "As an employee of the Dead Letter Office he stitched the custody of that money was in her hands to keep in her possession and exclusive control of everything of value that was taken from the letters inspected by her as a 'selector' until the close of business at 3 o'clock. "There was no key to the antiquated desk at which she worked, there was no cash box, no safety deposit. Was she to leave it open on her desk while she left the places to get her lunch? "We cannot take the liberty of a citizen away from him," he went on, "on the ground of suspicion. The Court of Appeals holds that there is no such thing in the law as suspicion." Commenting on the character testimony presented for his client, Mr. David remarked, "The law says that good character alone (Continued on page 2) Ickes and Zook Address Noted Educators and Race Leaders Declaring that "the Negro must have more and better education than he has received in the past, and a larger proportion of the race must receive the fundamentals of a public school education," Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes officially welcomed delegates to the first National Conference On Fundamental Problems in the Education of Negroes in a session held in the auditorium of the Department of Commerce building last night. Dr. George F. Zook, U. S. Commissioner of Education, was the featured speaker, while Dr. Ambrose Caliver, Senior Specialist in the Education of Negroes and Director of the conference, presided. "The chief contribution in the field of education today." Ickes pointed out, "is to be made by those who, while diligent student of the past, follow a clear vision of the future. Constant council of the best equipped minds is required. No question lends itself so well to the conference method as the one which has brought this group together. Continuing, he pointed out that "America boasts that it is the melting pot of all peoples. Here a new race is in the making. The strengths of all races combine to make the strength of America. But there is one fact peculiar to Negroes in whose interest you have come together. They came to this country not of their own choice. The change of their status to free men only seventy years ago was the result of a conflict not of their own making. That conflict left a national wound that was not long in healing. During that healing process this race of bystanders was in a very difficult position. This difficult process has not yet been completed. But thanks to the tolerance and statesmanship exhibited on every hand, that adjustment is being made so that we can now devote our chief thought to the larger social, economic, and cultural opportunities in which Negroes are entitled to share as citizens of this democracy." Outlining the social development of the Negro in recent years, Commissioner Zook stated that the aim of the present conference was to prepare the way so that the largest possible proportion of the colored population of this country may have an opportunity toward that abundaat life which we all aspire. "Everywhere throughout the world," he said, "as men and women throw off old chains and aspire to a better civilization, they realize that education provides the only certain key which will open the door of opportunity. Hence they turn hopefully to the schools for that preparation which will enable them to enter that kingdom from which, without education, they would be shout out forever." "The colored people, to whom educational opportunities for a variety of reasons have come in limited degree, realize thoroughly that education is not a luxury to be paid for after necessities have been taken care of, but an investment which determines the level of personal and group development over the long future." "We are, however, gaining some new conception of the function of education. There has been a steady pushing up of the educative process among young people and now we are beginning to talk quite freely of education for adults, who are living in a civilization which is changing so rapidly that much of their education is out of date before it can be applied to problems of life." Nurse Sues Doctor; Charges He Seduced Her STATESBORO. Ga.

Instead of grouping them in companies about the hill-side to satisfy their hunger with a miraculous increase of substance, they will be invited into perhaps the biggest "restaurant" in the Northwest section," where rows and rows of tables will be laden with victuals of all kinds—right in the lower auditoriums of the Metropolitan and Vermant Avenue Baptist Churches, headquarters of the congress sessions.

Jesus and the Herodians Discuss Paying Taxes (Va. 15.17) Although the multitude had proclaimed Jesus as King, these Herodians, Pharisees, and Sadducees who were the aristocratic class of the Jews, did not acknowledge Him as such. On one occasion they said, "We have no king but Caesar." They were a lot of hypocrites who knew they had no love for Caesar and the Roman government, and only obeyed the laws because they were forced to do so. But here was an opportunity to catch Jesus in a position out of which He could not extracute Himself, as they supposed. Thus they would show Jesus to be an insurrectionist. Jesus' Wise Reply to the Herodians (Vs. 18:22) Wisdom chooses a narrow path with here and there a traveler. They asked Jesus if it was lawful for them to pay tribute to the Roman government (Caesar being king) or not, because sarcastically they inferred that they were subjects of His kingdom—Christ's kingdom. Jesus knew they were only putting Him through a test; He knew what object they had in view. So He said "Show me the tribute money. Whose image and superscription is this?" They said "Casear's." "Then since you are using Casear's property and he Dr. Johnson to be Speaker At Laying of Corner Stone At Dillard University NEW ORLEANS, La.—The corner stone of Dillard University will be laid on May 27, and preparations are under way for a celebration of the event befitting the importance of the new institution.

A Doctor of Law Questions Jesus (Vs. 34-40) This question that was propounded to Jesus by the lawyer constitutes, as Jesus has said, the greatest of all commandments. The Bible tells us that God is love and he is the great Being who is composed of all the elements that go to make up love. The elements of which love is composed are: mercy, patience, kindness, gentleness, meekness, longsuffering, forgiveness, etc. St. Paul in I Cor. 13th chapter says: "Though I speak with the tongue of men and of angels, and have not these elements of love, I become as sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal; also have all gifts of prophecy, understand all mysteries, all knowledge and faith so that I could move mountains, and not have love, I am nothing. Though I give my goods to the poor, or give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing." It is no wonder that Jesus said these two commandments were the greatest. A Christian having these qualities imbedded into his mind and life and performs them, surely will fulfill all that is required of the other eight. St. Paul also said that there are faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love. The solid rock or foundation of these two commandments is love. Jesus said to His disciples, "If ye love me keep my commandments which is not previous." (St. John 15:10-12.) DR. D. F.

Tucker shopping down town for a certain young co-ed. E. Culpepper jibing F. Wharton. Joe Beal visiting on Linden Street frequently. Pearl Ellis playing gigolette. Hodford Brown with a certain young miss of Dunbar. K. Hughes still interested in a certain cadet officer. The inseparable couple, Woodow Gray and Lenora Chinn. Morris Murray getting the lowdown on different couples. Can you feature his jibe? We would like to know why Kenneth Booth lost out with a certain co-ed. Was his rival too strong? Why is Elizabeth Stewart of Morris Road so interested in Cadet Captain John Johnson laterly? No wonder she nabs her officer each year. "Another sad case of an armband!" Call the doctor! Have you heard the latest? In a recent contest, although the title of "Miss Randall" went to Miss Annie Ruff, the last three places went to the split personality boys, Guy Knorl placed second; Ridgeway Marshall, third; and Vincent Samuels, fourth. Of all the girls at Randall, they had to take the honors...Arthur Ashton, pimpstick of South Capitol and "O" Streets parks on a stool (he tried to be a stool pigeon) displaying his white shoes...Who is the Dana which possesses the moving van around the fountain?...Why does Charlie Williams visit Dunbar so often? I thought he was over interested in a certain coed at Tech...On May Day at a certain officer's private party he failed to invite his favorite coed friend, yet this lady appeared on the scene of action and mv, my, you should have seen her face... Morris Murray quits A. L. for another co-ed, Miss P. B. Later Miss A. L. decides to win her lover back. Of course Morris accepted!

The program which was attended by more than a hundred parents and friends, included a health talk by Dr. C. A. Tignor, the showing of a health film by Dr. Possem head of the Washington Dairy Council, selections by the Dixie Harmony Quartet, and a play entitled "Health Baskets for the World's Front Door," presented by pupils of the school. May Day was celebrated on Tuesday, May 1, with special playground exercises culminating the health activities of the year. Guests at this celebrator included A. K. Savoy, assistant superintendent of schools, and Supervising Principal J. C. Bruce. Dr. Edward A. Balloch Honored at Luncheon The faculties of the Colleges of Dentistry and Pharmacy joined the faculty of the College of Medicine of Howard University in a luncheon in honor of Dr. Edward A. Balloch, dean emeritus of the School of Medicine. The luncheon was held in Sojourner Truth Hall of the Women's Dormitory Group, recently. Dean Balloch was introduced by Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of the university, and he responded in a touching plea for the co-operation of all in building firmly for the future upon the foundation securely laid in the past. "BLACK CABINET" WRITER CHARGES SWITCH, RESIGNS (Continued from page 9) fulness to the race rather than strengthens it. Two instances of the way his mind works on the race question are pertinent. When the selection of four men was made to do the preliminary work on a survey of white-collared Negroes, one chosen, I believe by Dr. Foreman, was Dr. Sanders, an Armenian. Shortly after the appointmets, Dr. Foreman said to me that the fact that an Armenian was in his office, should quiet criticisms that he was in favor of segregation or had a segregated office. This naive failure of the good doctor to grasp the fundamentals of a serious problem would be laughable were it not for the traegedy of his position. Promised Justice When the CWA in Washington was practicing most vicious discrimination against colored white-collared workers, the aid of Dr. Foreman was enlisted to fight for justice. He wrote a very fine letter to someone on the matter and promised to fight the thing to the finish. Some two or three weeks later, I dropped into his office to find out why results had not been obtained. He told me substantially this: "Why, I thought everything was going on all right. I was assured that the matter would be righted. What should be done in matters of this kind is continue to flood me with protests and committees of protests, then I can say to the responsible persons, 'See here, these people are on my neck, they are worrying me to do something. You must do something to right matters.' Needs Stronger Leadership This, of course, is the natural psychology of any white man in a similar position. He can go to other white men and ask for personal protection and indirectly get results for the race—maybe. But the race today needs stronger leadership. It needs in this revolution men who can demand and keep on demanding in the name of justice and the New Deal that something he done. Dr. Foreman has been accused of being a segregationist. He denies this vigorously. For he is trying hard to be what a colored man in his position should be. But the tamed lion at some time reverts to type, and therein lies the danger. In writing a splendid article for last month's Opportunity, an article which might have been written by a colored leader, the Southern white man's idea of the race creeps in but is almost lost in a mass of beautiful and encouraging words. He says, and I think these words brand him as a dangerous leader for the colored race: An Old Trick "There may be some projects (Subsistance Homesteads) in which there will be no Negroes and others in which there will be no whites, but there are lots of towns in the country in which there are no Negroes and some in which there are no white people. The principle usually adopted by the Subsistence Homestead Division is to leave to the applying group the constituency of the particular project. This gives the same protection to Negro groups that it does to white groups and leaves them both free to admit members of other races that fulfill qualifications of membership." This statement is an old trick of white enemies. Segregated residential sections "protect" Negroes by not allowing white people to live in their sections. Colored people are thus "protected" on jim crow cars. Colored people in segregated sections of the theatres are "protected" by keeping white people out. This "protection," as every man knows is fabulous and a smoke screen to hide injustice and inequalities to a minority group. It is also used as a salve for the wounded self-respect of colored American citizens who are now demanding every right and every privilege granted any other American citizen. The corollary of Dr. Foreman's statement is that this principle leaves white communities free to bar colored persons if their stated qualifications for membership in the homestead project be "persons of white blood." Worthwhile Friend Dr. Foreman, sincere, immature, and bashful, cannot, no matter how hard he tries, forget entirely in years to come his Southern background. He is a worthwhile friend, professionally, but as a leader of the race, he is most dangerous to its future complete emancipation.

(ANP) The tenth annual Scholastic Awards here brought Hughie Lee Smith, a colored student of East Technical High School, Cleveland, one of the highest national honors attainable by any high school student in the field of art. In national competition at the fine arts galleries of Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Smith earned a one-year scholarship which enables him to continue his art studies at the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts. Harold W. Hunsicker, principal of East Technical High School, when he was notified of the award, wrote the jury, "Hughie Smith can be recommended most highly. He is a boy of finest character, possesses a pleasing personality, and has a high scholarship standing. During his four years here he has been a member of the honor society and has taken an active interest in the glee club and track. At present he is president of the high school art club. Not only is this boy worthy of a scholarship, but such aid as is necessary if he is to continue his art study." Smith's work, which won him the scholarship, is now included in the international exhibition of secondary school of art at Carnegie Institute. The exhibition and the Scholastic Awards are both conducted by Scholastic, national high school weekly, with the assistance of the Carnegie Corporation of New York. HOLD HARMON ART EXHIBIT NEW YORK.

He stated that he saw no reason why the team which won the first half of the play should not receive & trophy—smaller than the cham. pionship award—for so doing. Sec- end-half winners, under his plan ‘would be likewise rewarded. Un- der this plan the eventual winner ‘of the championship would acquire ‘two prizes, one for winning its hal! ef the play and the other for the title.

GOLESVILLE. PREPS FOROLASH IT GEORGETOWN ‘The Colesville Tigers, who last week inaugurated their 1934 base- ball season, wil] take on their sec- ond opponent of the season, this Sunday, when they tackle the strong Georgetown Athletics, win- ‘ners of the 1933 Washington Tri- bune Round Robin Basebale Tour- nament, ‘The “Tigers have been carried through strenuous drills every day this week following their bitter loss of an overtime game to the Hillsdales in he season debut last Sunday. Manager Braxton says that his charges have entered their work with such determination that their meeting bodes ill for the west-enders. Doo Dad Dorsey, diminutive pilot of the Georgetown crew, told the ‘Tribune that his boys ‘were rapidly rounding into shape after a late start, and that top form would probably be reached by the Sabbath tilt. Inasmuch ‘as the Colesville lads are carded for an engagement in Winston-Salem, N.C., the latter part of the week, and Salty John- son is likely to toe the slab for the Washingtonians, it is very probable that Russell, Colesvolle ace, will be called upon to face the 1933 champs. His mound opponent in all likelihood will be Bus Fraz- jer, ace of the Dorsey clan, ‘The fans are. going out to see you play baseball. When they want to see fights they know where to go. Are you going to satisfy their desire for clean and skilled base- ball?’ If you do, you are making your jobs safe for this and other Years. Or are you going to stage disgraceful scenes in the name of sport, argue unduly with umpires and with opposing players? You have a field captain whose duty it is to protest when he feels that decisions warrant such protest, We don't believe that you are going to disgrace us. There are two rea- sons why we have confidence in you. The first is, if you disgust the fans by your’ conduct afield they will stay away from the ball parks and the owners will not need any ball players.

Marion (Smoke) Levi( ace of the 'Dale pitching staff, was the victim of this attack. He weathered the storm, however, until the seventh inning, when he again showed signs of weakness from the heavy duty 80 early in the season. Gil (Spike) Bland, cross-fire art- ist of the Hillsdales, took up the burden and went the rest of the route in impressive style, ‘The Washington lads tied the score in the eighth inning. Going to bat on the short end of a 3-1 count, the Blue and White outfit counted a pair of taillies on singles by Bland and Jones, and Haywood’s double down the right field line. Russell, who until this inning had been going along in midseason form, showed signs of weakening in the tenth, and in the eleventh the tide was turned in favor of the Hillsdales. Turner opened the in- ning by topping a bail in front of the plate to be thrown out, Toots Brown’s single to right field started the trouble. This, fol- lowed by a single off the bat of Geechie Williams, Fauntroy’s in- field out and Savoy’s single pushed two runners across the pan for the margin of victory. A crowd of more than 300 Dis- trict and Maryland enthusiasts was on hand to witness the proceedings, and all were satisfied that the con- test was as good an exhibition of baseball as will be had this season, Prior to the game's start, the two teams marched to the flag-pole in centerfield to the music furnished hy the Community Centers Band under the direction of Prof, James E, Miller. ‘The organization played through- out the afternoon} popular dance hits being woven bettween concert and march numbers. HAMPTON DEFEATS STATE RACQUETERS |, HAMPTON, Va.—While Virginia State's track’ team was running away with a victory over Hampton, the Pirate tennis stars were “lay- ing their racquets” against State, taking the matches by the close score of 3-2, Captain Melvin Lancaster, of Hampton, defeated the well-known John McGriff, of State, 6-1, 6-4. ‘The Pirate captain, with his’ bril- liant overhead smashes, subdued his opponent with comprehensive ease. Henry Cramer, of State, won from Luther Foster, of Hampton, 8-0, 6-2. Cramer, No. 2 player from the hilltop school, had an easy time with Foster, once eap- tain of the State team. Robert Blanton, of Hampton, took two 6-0 sets from James Rob- ingon with no trouble. By far the most thrilling and in- teresting of the matches was the doubles match in which Captain Lancaster and’ Haywood Clay, of Hampton, faced the hitherto un- beatable combination of Ross and McGriff. The Pirate pair took both of the hard-fought sets by the close scores of 7-5 and 6-4. Clay, a new- comer on the courts, proved to be & worthy mate to his captain. Their splendid teamwork, almost perfect co-ordination, and consistent play- ing gave Hampton the victory.

BROCKENBURY HAMPTON, Va.—This Saturday, Armstrong Field at Hampton Institute will be the scene of what promises to be the most colorful and undoubtedly the biggest track meet ever held at a Negro institution. The thrill-hunting crowd, yelling announcers, spectators and athletes garbed in gay colors, boys selling programs and souvenirs, and the expectancy of many fallen records—in fact everything that makes a real track and field day is sure to be there, except perhaps good weather. 14 Colleges Represented Hampton's athletic director, Chas. H. Williams, has left no stone unturned in attempting to bring to Hampton the cream of the country's athletes representing Negro schools and colleges. No less than fourteen colleges and eleven schools are expected to place in the various events. Among the colleges will be Lincoln, Shaw, Johnson C. Smith, Morgan, Benedict, Union, Hampton, N. C. State, St. Paul, A. T. Miner Teachers' College, St. Augustine, Virginia State, Howard, and Wilberforce. Included in the list of schools expected are Dunbar, Armstrong, and Cardozo, of Washington; David B. Oliver, of Pittsburgh; George P. Phenix, of Hampton; Huntington, of Newport News, Va.; Bordentown, of New Jersey; Booker T. Washington, of Norfolk; Douglass, of Baltimore and Roosevelt of Gary, Indiana. The list of events will consist of the following: 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, medley relay (440, 220, 220, 880), 880-yard mile, mile run, two-mile run, mile relay, 120-yard high hurdles, 220-yard low hurdles, shot put (16 lbs.),avelin throw, discus throw, broad jump, high jump, and pole vault. Many Records in Danger Only a few of the C.I.A.A. records seem safe. Among them are Bill Williams's javelin throw distance of 200 feet 3 inches, Rock Early's quarter mile time of 49 seconds, and Hampton's mile relay time of 3:25. Perhaps the most unsafe record at the present time is that of the mile held by Byrd, of Lincoln, whose fastest time is 4:34. Lipscombe, Hampton ace, has already bettered this record, being clocked last Saturday at 4:28.2. The battle between him and Lee, of Union, should provide the thrills that the crowd will be looking for. Lee has the edge so far over his rival, but the Pirate miler's time is a little better. Borican, State flash, has twice seriously threatened the half mile mark. In defeating the fleet Neal Cooper of Hampton, last week, he was clocked at two minutes flat. This battle, aided by a possible dark horse, will be another important one. Smith, of St. Paul, seems headed for a new high jump record. The mile relay as usual is expected to be interesting. Wilberforce seems the favorite in this event, although most of the colleges have fast teams. Trials will be held in the morning, and the semi-finals and finals will be held beginning at 1:30. Howard Drew, former holder of the world's century dash record, will be the official starter. STATE TRACK STAR INELIGIBLE, MEET RESULTS CHANGED "Shag" Courtney Unable to Participate, Trojans Feel Loss Already PETERSBURG, Va.—Onal Courtney, a member of the Virginia College Track squad, has been adjudged ineligible for track participation for the current season. Consequently, the points made by Courtney in meets prior to the time of the declaration of his ineligibility are to be forfeited. The State College team has engaged in two dual meets this year; one with Hampton and the other with St. Paul. Since the only copy of the records of the Hampton-State meet is in the hands of the athletic authorities of Hampton the adjustment in that meet must necessarily come from them. In the case of the State-St. Paul meet the adjustment is made. The manner of adjustment is as follows: the points won by Courtney were stricken from the records, his places forfeited, and the persons or person succeeding were advanced accordingly. Changes were made in the high hurdles, shot put, high jump, javelin, pole vault and broad jump. In all events excepting the high hurdles and the pole vault the persons subsequent in line were advanced. In the high hurdles, State with two entries originally was reduced to one placing it on a level with St. Paul which had but one entry. In the pole vault where State had a triple tie for first, it was converted into a tie. The changes in the meet necessitates a change in the results of the meet. The previous result of RUNAWAY PLAYERS ORDERED SENT BACK TO TEAMS Vincent and Brooks Must Return to Posey's Homestead Fold PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Player Vincent, on the training trip with the Pittsburgh Crawfords, has been declared the property of the Homestead Grays to the extent that they have first choice in an effort to sign him for the current season. Vincent's name was on the Gray's reserve list and the management of the Crawfords advised this office that they did not know this. Player Brooks, a catcher with the Homestead Grays last year, and on their list, is declared their property. Mr. Posey, secretary and manager of the club, advised this office that Brooks had been taken South by the Cleveland Club, and the president of that organization has been requested to send the man back to the Grays immediately. Homestead Grays must reimburse the owners in each case for the training expenses and loans to the players involved. Both these decisions were handed down by W. Rollo Wilson, baseball commissioner, early this week. WRITER GIVES NEW SLANT ON NEGRO BALL PLAYERS Columnist Thinks Colored Players Would Add To Crowds By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL Author of "Digesting the News" Last winter many of our sports writers had columns of good copy published about the lack of opportunity for talented colored baseball players in the big leagues. They touched on the question from many angles but all of their angles put together would not be as convincing as a single statement that I heard this very afternoon while listening to the White Sox-Browns game being broadcast. At another time during the game the announcer, Pat Flannigan, estimated the crowd present, and also stressed the fact that there were plenty of available seats left. And as 14,000 was the highest estimate he gave anyone knows who has ever been to Comiskey Park that there were PLENTY of empty seats. At another time during the broadcast he mentioned the playing and popularity of one of the Sox players—one, Bonura—an Italian. At another time he announced that about half of the attendance was made up of Italians who were there to see their hero—Bonura. And in that statement a philosophy was expressed—one that if followed up and acted upon might do more towards getting colored talent in the big leagues than anything else. With the diminishing attendance at our big league parks that are built for maximum crowds if it were once driven home to the baseball magnates that many of their empty seats would be constantly filled if they would permit capable colored talent on their teams, for the colored people, like the Italians would be glad to come to the parks in droves to see their favorite colored players in action there on the diamond. Regardless of the justice of the situation it seems to this writer that if our publications could convince the owners of ball clubs that their empty seat problem could be partly solved by permitting colored players on their teams that may be that day of atopin would arrive much quicker.

HOWARD THEATRE WEEK BEGINNING Friday, May 11th In Person CAB CALLOWAY AND HIS ORCHESTRA With His Hi-De-Ho Revue (No Advance in Prices) 2—MIDNITE SHOWS—2 Saturday, May 12 Tuesday, May 15 FOURTEEN SHOPPING Wherein the Tribune By SA :-Howard:-- Review Headed by Tiny Bradshaw, whose rise to fame was predicted by no less a personage than the redoubtable Cab Calloway several years ago, the Luis Russell Cotton Club Orchestra arouses the stomping emotions of Howard Theatre patrons during the current week. Bradshaw is without doubt the most dynamic of the lesser lights that have directed orchestra groups on the T Street stage in many months. The rest of the show is comparatively weak, except for the incomparable dancing team of "Pete, Peaches and Duke." This incomparable trio performs an elaborate assortment of dance steps with such smoothness and precision that they provoke rounds of applause. Myra Johnson, torch singer; Pearl Baynes, vocalist, and a soft shoe pair, "Pearl and Jimmy," round out the bill. The chorus, led by Washington's own Ristina Banks, also comes in for its share of glory. Mixing pathos and comedy into a well-blended story of life and duty BROADWAY THEATRE behind the walls of a large city hospital, the screen presents "Registered Nurse," with Bebe Daniels and Lyle Talbot in the romantic leads. Preview Fresh from European triumphs where he turned London into a state of "hi-de-hoiism," Cab Calloway, the inimitable, the dynamic, the one and only son of the Baltimore Calloways, comes to Shep Allen's Howard Theatre for a week beginning tomorrow (Friday). This column will be accused of exaggerating when it reports that the usually staid British journals set aside their routine theatrical columns and searched the dictionaries of American slang to describe how the yelling, maniacal orchestra leader impressed gatherings at London playhouses. The papers went so far as to state that beside Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington's jungle band was just an ordinary orchestra. Boasting an extended run in every principal theatre in the world's famous English metropolis, Calloway's orchestra returned to the states early this month and resumed its tireless trek around these United States. Elmer Turner, the coy little miss who "does the vocals" along with the Calloway, also came in for her share of glory during these recent showings. She will do big things for the coming revue if this columnist doesn't miss his guess. The picture, "Jimmy and Sally," starring James Dunn and Claire Trevor, will occupy some of the time spent at the Seventh and T Streets playhouse, but the Cab will take all the bows—woyzza. New Chinese-American Restaurant Open The New Chinese-American Restaurant formerly the Cotton Club held its opening Friday night under new management for the exclusive Washingtonians. Its purpose is to offer to the public who like dining and dancing a place in which to recreate. The best Chinese and American dishes are served there to the patrons in an environment which demand fun and frolic. An approving crowd attended the opening last Friday night and danced to the beautiful music of the new orchestra, while Frank Tonnage, the efficient maitre d' hote, supervised the courteous service of the waiters. The Chinese-American Restaurant is open to everyone. -:-Lincoln-:- Review "Men in White," offered during the current week at the Lincoln Theatre, in the estimation of this column deserves the recognition it has recently come to receive. The picturization of a hospital internet's student days, with Clark Gable in the starring role, is held by many critics to be rightful winner of the Pulitzer Prize. The story has to do with Gable, the most advanced member of the class doing internship at a great modern hospital, and Myrna Loy, whose characterization of an heiress in love with Gable is also well done. The former, whose ambition to become as great a surgeon as his instructor, Dr. Hochberg (played by Jean Hersholt), clashes with his love affair with Miss Loy. Seeking solace, Gable becomes involved in an affair with a student nurse (Elizabeth Allan). The climax is reached when the latter is compelled to undergo an operation in a failure attempt to save her life from peritonitis. Withal, the Lincoln's highly advertised "Men In White" was a most entertaining film, and worthy of our recommendation to you readers. Preview Suppose death should come to earth and take a three-day holiday. Is your imagination vivid enough to realize what would happen? And in the instance of Paramount's picture "Death Takes a Holiday," which plays at the Lincoln Theatre for an entire week, beginning Friday, Death comes to earth as a dashing, romantic lover, enthusiastically taking part in all of life's pastimes. He saves love until the last, until almost the end of his holiday. He finds no difficulty in meeting women who offer him love, but finds no love that is unselfish, eternal, until his holiday is almost over. Then in a series of dramatic circumstances, he finds an enduring love, and, in the arms of a beautiful girl, learns all that is beautiful in life. But he, like any mortal man, must depart, and dreads the thought of leaving behind the life he finds so rantuous. "Death Takes a Holiday" is a picture you can't afford to miss. It is one of the great productions of the screen, rich in beauty and drama. Enacting the leading role and giving a better performance than in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is Fredric March. Evelyn Venable, Sir Guy Standing and Kent Taylor comprise the main supporting cast. Although I am no particular admirer of Will Rogers, nor for the characters usually portrayed by Stepin Fetchit, "David Harum," struck me as a pretty good picture at that. In case you don't recall, that is the name of the picture playing the Ninth Street house during the current week. Rogers's uncanny knack of getting the best of any sort of an argument pertaining to horseflesh, and Fetchit's comical characterization of a shiftless Negro are two of the outstanding features of the play. Other entertaining portions have to do with an hilarious experience at the "fair" (a typical scene of the gay nineties), and an amusing moment in the life of two lovers who find a horse balky is just as good an excuse for romance as the old worn out flat tire or shortage of gas. Stepin Fetchit brings scream with his unique method of killing "two stones with one bird." as he put it. Preview "Coming Out Party," slated to STRAND THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY.

COMING - NEXT WEEK - "WONDER BAR" begin a week's run at the Ninth Street picture market, is a smashing hit at those charming little misses known as debs, subdebs and etcetera debs, and should be a most entertaining piece of cinema work. The picture shows the usually pretty ill matrons (or should I say maidens?)—yes, Sammie, Webster says you should have said maidens—well maidens it is (or should I have said maidens they are)—but where was I? Well, anyway, right off the bat you can see that the poor dears scarcely have time to eat brakefast, so urgent are their obligations. More confining even than those customarily attributed to the most business-like of industrial tycoons, are the duties of these social belles. They are tied down also by tradition and the wishes of doting parents so that the pure love of unbridled impulse doesn't have much of a chance. In this case, however, true love conquers all, and the forces of tradition are kicked high, wide and handsome. Frances Dee is the principal player as the Junior League, etc., society girl. She is scheduled to have a "coming out party," and she does, but not without defying all the trusty rules of the game by falling in love with a rank outsider in the personage of Gene Raymond, first fiddler in a jazz band. -:-Republic-:- Coming as it does along about the same time as numerous daily papers are publishing "World War Horror Pictures," as an argument against wholesale conflict, "All Quiet on the Western Front," makes a timely reappararance at the Republic. Recognized generally as the greatest war picture of an overwhelming lot, the Carl Laemmle production stands high in the argument in favor of world peace. It was in this picture that Lew Ayres earned his first starring role, and nothing need be said of the advancement that youngster has made since that time. "All Quiet on the Western Front," is good entertainment and worth seeing again. The color of San Francisco's famous old Barbary Coast, the thrills of battling man maddened by love and the tender appeal of a love-stained girl of the slums, enlivened by stirring scenes aboard ship make gripping entertainment of "Wharf Angel," which will be shown at the Republic Theatre for five days beginning Sunday. Victor McLaglen and Preston Foster, as two contrasting, fearless men of action, give excellent performances, as does Allison Skipworth as the proprietress of the Barbary Coast dive. Dorothy Dell has the leading feminine role. The story deals with the love of two men for Miss Dell, and their adventures which take them to China and back. "Wharf Angel" is the kind of picture everyone likes. On Friday and Saturday, May 18 and 19, Tim McCoy in his latest Western drama, "Hell Bent for Love," will be shown. The first episode of the new serial, "Pirate Treasure," will also begin on this date. ::-Booker T.:- Review Jack Oakie and Spencer Tracy, two wise-cracking fools if ever there were fools to wise crack, did the honors at the Booker T. Theatre during the current week in the telephone story, "Looking for Trouble." And if you take it from this mortal the producers did not get the wrong number when they called this pair for the parts. The story deals with a little known phase of life—that of the professional "trouble shooter," the telephone linesman whose business it is t ose that the wires are kept clear through blizzards, fire, storm and earthquake. The firm records one of their daring adventures where it is necessary to clear all wires in order to save a girl's life. They do so in top-notch style, and there are certain scenes in the glimming which deserve no little commendation. It's good entertainment for the whole darned family. Preview The latest musical screen hit, "Let's Fall in Love," with Edmund Lowe and Ann Sothern, will be the attraction at the Booker T. Theatre for one week beginning Friday. The story centers around Hollywood. A temperamental star walks off the set, leaving the producer and the director high and dry. The vacated role calls for a Sweedish star and none are available. The director meets a girl in a circus concession. Struck by her beauty, he persuades her to place herself in his hands. From this point on the picture becomes a romance of love between the director and the girl. Gregory Ratoff, Tala Birell and Arthur Jarett are also in the picture. Some of the most tuneful song hits of the season are introduced in "Let's Fall in Love." They are "Let's Fall In Love," the song from which the picture derives its title; "This Is Only the Beginning," and "Love Is Love Anywhere." -:- Dunbar-:- Preview Still fighting back after fifteen years of Westerns, "Lil' Roxie," as it is sometimes called by jokesters, presents the dashing Buck Jones in "Shadow Ranch" for the opening attraction during the coming week.

Miss Moten, who won distinction in the pictures, "Gold Diggers of Broadway," and "Flying Down to Rio," and who sang at the White House on a recent trip to Washington has just been signed off a successful run as headliner on the Palace stage. Although there was no authenticity for a definite statement, it was intimated that Miss Moten would play the Lincoln Theatre, on her return to the capital. MISSISSIPPIANS LIKE DETT JACKSON, Tenn.

MAN FINDS WOMAN DEAD IN ALLEY Natural Causes Blamed for Death by Coroner; No Inquest Held A woman, later identified as Seline Acors, 34, of 507 T Street, Northwest, was found dead in an alley at the rear of 1419 Columbia Street, Northwest, by Henry Miles, of 1421 Columbia Street, while putting his car in its garage last Sunday night. Miles promptly called the Emergency hospital ambulance, but when it arrived the woman was pronounced dead by Dr. N. Sharone, of the Emergency staff of that institution. The body was removed to the D. C. Morgue, where it remained for several days before being identified by William Acors, husband of the deceased. No suspicious circumstances were found to surround the woman's death by Coroner A. McGruder McDonald, and no inquest was held. Capitol View News —By H. Cavanaugh Mantor— On Monday evening the "Home department of Salem Baptist Sunday School, visited the sick room of Mrs. J. T.

Of course some women have been blessed with a double portion of beauty and both eyes and mouth are lovely. In case you have an unfortunate mouth be sure to take this hint and never play up your lips. Use rouge very sparingly or none at all, but place all of your art of make-up no your eyes. Then attention will be taken from the unlovely feature. If, however, your mouth is the better feature in your face, then make your mouth very attractive and make it up well. THE STINNETTE Mrs. Bert No. 1 The B 1500 Vt. A. B. C. J.

Ch North COP STRIKES MAN IN MAKING ARREST Twenty-six Others Need Emergency Treatment at Freedmen's When Officer Guy Rowe, of the Second Precinct, attempted to arrest Edward Hartgrove, 18, of 1316 Sixth Street, Northwest, after breaking up a row between him and John Chambers, 35, of 431 M Street, Northwest, last Monday afternoon, he found it necessary to strike young Hartgrove between the eyes with his service revolver in order to subdue him, according to police reports. Hartgrove, it is said, instigated an argument with Chambers at the intersection of Fifth and N Streets, Northwest, and in the course of the row drew out a large knife and attacked the other man with it. The policeman, stepping into the fray, was also attacked and subdued Hartgrove only after striking the blow with the pistol. Hartgrove was given emergency treatment at Freedmen's hospital and later arrested on charges of assault and resisting arrest. Others who were treated in the emergency ward of Freedmen's this week included Henry Schilling, 817 P Street, Southeast; Leo Davies, 803 Barry Place, Northwest; Virgile Summerville, 228 N Street, Northwest; Daniel Brown, 1405 N Street, Northwest; Charles James, 1703 Vermont Avenue; Evelyn J Lewis, 1226 Sixth Street, Northwest; Sarah Watson, 410 L Street, Northwest; Reuben Jenkins, 824 O Street, Northwest; James Hawkins, 786 Motton Street, Northwest; William Griffin, 134 M Street Southwest; John Tate, 2127 Ninth Street, Northwest; Oscar Lee, 72 H Street, Northwest; Joseph Norville, 1613 Fourth Street, Northwest; Ida Banks, 2318 Ninth Street, Northwest; James Bailey, 435 K Northwest; Dorothy Dean, 70 Myrkle Street, Northwest; Leonard Byers, 816 N Street, Northwest; Everett Hargraves, 1315 Sixth Street, Northwest; George Dickinson, 1832 Florida Avenue, Northwest; Robert McNeal, 53 De Frees Street, Northwest; Morris Hopkins, Kensington, Md.; Della Thompson, 1623 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest; Charles Green, 2118 Fourth Street, Northwest; Elizabeth Hill, 1628 Sixth Street, Northwest; and Clifford Armstead, 1225 Ninth Street, Northwest. 18-voice glee club in the community.

The fect should follow a straight line upon legs that swing from graceful, nimble knees. No one takes a second look at the woman who slouches along, but a graceful easy carriage throws an atmosphere of interest around any woman no matter though her face be plain. If you would appear well dressed see to it that you are well-shed and gloved. Be certain that the seam of your hose is straight, your heels level, your shoes shapely, and your gloves immaculate. These two points are always stressed by the well-dressed woman. It is said that a man looks first at the woman's feet and then he may look at her face but he will finally look at her hands.

Dear Editor: I am writing a few lines hoping that you and all of the members are well. I thought I would write as it is near Mother's Day and I want to remember Mother in some way. In 1931 I sent a poem in called "Stand By Your Mother," which was printed on the page in honor of Mother's Day so I am sending it back for this Mother's Day. This year I composed a poem call "Thanks to Mother." I hope that both of the poems will be accepted. I am looking to see poems from the other members in honor of mother. "THANKS TO MOTHER" O, "Mother of Mine!" "O, Mother of Mine!" We come on this Mother's Day, to bring to you our greatest appreciation. We do humbly thank you for your loving kindness, smiles and tender care.

We know we can never do to much for you "Mother," for your kindness to us we can never repay. So we pray to God to keep and bless you and we will stand by and do all we can to stick with you until the end. May peace and joy bring good cheer and keep that "Mother of Mine" smiling throughout the whole year. "STAND BY YOUR MOTHER" Stand by your mother whatever you do.

LOIUS, Mo.—The Negro before 1865 possessed far more of the competitive spirit than the Negro of today" according to Lorenzo J. Greene, assistant professor of history at Lincoln University. Speaking on "The Economic Status of the American Negro before 1865," at Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. in St. Louis on Saturday, April 14, Mr. Greene pointed out that the free Negro, despite the many disabilities under which he labored, entered into almost every aspect of American economic life, even including steamship companies, bedstead factories and cotton brokerage houses. "What the Negro needs today," concluded the speaker, "is more of the pioneering and competitive spirit of such men as Robert Borden, James Forten, Thomy Laton, Paul Coffee, William Whippier, Robert Boyd and others, and less dependence upon those of the other group."

Governor Huang-fu of Tianzian province and Governor Ye Shin-sha of Tauan-fu province are both flunkies of Japanese imperialism, the terrors of the prison regime are designed to stem the mass movement against the Japanese imperialist invasion of China as well as to hold back the revolt against the murderous rule of the Kuomintang. White terror statistics compiled by the International Red Aid for China during 1933 present an appalling indictment against Koomintang rule. They list 423,000 murdered (including members of the Red Army murdered in the conflicts with the Koomintang and the Japanese), 259,837 wounded, many of whom died as a result of their wounds; and 108,000 arrests. Most of the arrested men and women were murdered while being held in prison.

The latter held in his appeal to the beneh that Mrs. Gray's act of removing the money’ from a xastebasket and keeping it in her possession until the customary time for checking-in did not constitute embezzlement. He pointed ont that the one marked dollar which had been broken into change by the defendant had been taken from her purse by mistake. Having money of like denomination in the same pocketbook, Attorney David held, Mrs. Gray believed that she was spending her own. Tt was to this effect that Mrs. Gray had testified yesterday a*ter- noon. She- took the stand just be- fore the defense rested. She de- clared that the money involved in the trial, $4 of $9 which postal in- spectors ‘stated they placed in “de- coy letters,” had come into her pos- session shortly before noan on the day of the alleged misappropria- tion. Found In Waste Upon béing questioned in regard to the discovery of the money, Mrs Gray testified that the bills’ firs came under her observation after she had opened about 1,500 letters of a batch of near 3,000. At the time she was employed as a ‘se lector” in the Dead Letter Office of the Post Office Department. When she first saw the money, the defendant averred, it was toying among a heap of discarded envel ore La waste ror te iad yi ‘icking it up, she clair she placed it in a desk drawer to re- main until she might be able to find the envelope from which it had fallen. A few minutes late when she signed off for lunch she took the money along with her for safe keeping. It was her intentior to make the proper report of it when she made her daily reports at 8 o'clock. Eminent Names Among Character Witnesses Just previous to her taking the stand in her own defense, Mrs Gray's counsel had called an impos ing ‘array of character witnesses Led by Attorney William L.

TEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL 2-Year Fight Against Jim Crow School Won By Berwyn,Pa. NAACP William Y. Bell Urged for C.M.E. Bishopric by S. W. Qualls Krigwa Players Win In Little Theatre Tournament RICHMOND PICKETS STILL ON THE JOB BERWYN, Pa.—A fight against segregated schools which began here in the spring of 1932 ended in victory here Monday, when 200 colored children were permitted to attend the new $250,000 school along with whites. The colored children have been kept out of school since June, 1932, by their parents because the school board ordered white children to attend the new school and colored children to continue going to the old school. Parents Went to Jail Six c' the colored parents went to jail rather than pay fines after being arrested for keeping their children out of school. They declared they would stay in jail rather than submit their children to jim crow schools. The fight against the segregation was launched in March, 1932, by the Bryn Maar branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, headed by O. B. Cobb. This is one of the smaller branches of the association, but nevertheless it declared to the national office in New York that it wished to carry on the fight alone as long as it could. It engaged the services of Raymond Pace Alexander, Philadelphia attorney, and Maceo Hubbard, of Mr. Alexander's staff. By EDW. L. SNYDER MEMPHIS, Tenn. (ANP)—The general conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, which is meeting this week in St. Louis, Mo., has its biggest opportunity to make clear its ideals and position on the issue, "Can Clean Men Void of Intirugue be Elected to the Bishopic?" According to an interview with S. W. Qualls, business man and church leader of Memphis, it is possible. "The C.M.E. Church," Mr. Qualls said, "is not different from any other church. It must look to its men who are not scarred with scandal, if it is to hold the youth and maintain its power and influence." "If Dr. William Y. Bell, pastor of Mt. Olive C.M.E. Church, is not included in the list of two or three bishops who will be elected at this meeting, the progress of the C.M.E. Church will be retarded. I am one of those who believe that the delegates can be trusted to elect our best qualified men and Dr. Bell comes up to every requirement for this exalted position. "The reason I am so anxious to see Dr. Bell elected bishop is because I have known him since I was eight years old. He and I played together in our fathers' back yards as boys. When quite a young man, he told me, "Sam, I must be a preacher.' I laughed at the idea. When he became clerk in the post office in Chicago and was preaching in a tent. I visited him in Evanson and from that tent meeting, I have followed his ministerial career. I am proud of his record.

Not a child went to the separate school. The colored teachers who had been engaged to teach in it simply reported to empty benches and drew their pay. Volunteer teachers were secured to teach some of the children in private homes to keep them from falling too far behind in their studies. Segregation Fight Won Recently Attorney General William A. Schnader named two deputy attorney generals to try to seek a settlement of the case, at the same time, indicating, after two years, that he was against the school board's segregation policy. Suddenly, on Monday, without any great announcement, the colored childlren were admitted to their classes in the mixed schools. They are taking part in all the school activities. The Berwyn school case goes down in the history of the fight agains' segregation as perhaps the most heroic struggle that has ever been waged by colored parents and children. This little town has a small colored population. It is one of the many wealthy suburbs on the Main Line out from Philadelphia. "During the more than 21 years I have been a member of the Mt. Olive C.M.E. Church of this city, I have seen many ministers come and go, but no man has enjoyed the confidence and respect of the people as has been true of Dr. Bell. He has a beautiful home life, a lovely wife, and three fine children. Mrs. Bell takes an active part in church work and is admired by the whole congregati n. "I know full well the part the bishop plays in the life of our people and this expression from the Hon. Bob Church, well known political leader of this section, shows what he thinks of Dr. Bell's leadership: "My dear Mr. Qualls: "I am very happy to know that you are doing what you can to present to the delegates of the general conference of the C.M.E. Church the fine qualities of Christian character and leadership that Dr. Bell would bring to that denomination by his elevation to the bishopric. "I wish that there was something I could do to help him. I have known many ministers, and have had the association of the bishops of your church, and I am sure that Dr. Bell would represent the very highest type to be found in any church. In his ministerial work in Memphis, he has exercised unusual constructive leadership. "His is the type of leadership that our race needs. If you think that I can serve in any way to help Dr. Bell, command me. "R. R. CHURCH."

Scott We are of the opinion that those who are advocating the appointment of Judge James A. Cobb to succeed himself are not only misguided, but are unaware of the sinister move behind the white press in its effort to block the appointment of Attorney Armond W. Scott. Judge Cobb's record speaks for itself. His scholarly demeanor and legal qualifications equal those of any officer of the District. His service to the profession and to his race has been unequaled, but on the other hand the administration has spoken and politics demand that the appointment go to one who has been loyal to the party. Others have been replaced by the administration despite their record in office. It is understood that with the fall of parties the posts held by the vanguished are to go to the victors. Some have resigned with the fall of their chief. Others remained to be finally ousted. However, it is doubtful if another colored man will be selected for the post of Municipal judge if the appointment of Mr. Scott is blocked. He has been chosen not only for his ability, but as one who has labored long years in support of a party at a time when it was unpopular for a Negro to be called a Democrat. The white press and other white organizations know that if Mr. Scott is kept from the post it will be impossible for another colored man here to be appointed as most of those qualified have followed the opposition party or have strong leanings towards the G.O.P. A white man will get the appointment. Mr. Scott's wide and varied experience certainly fits him for the position as judge. At the age of 17 he successfully managed a newspaper in his home town, Wilmington, N.C. and has been a member of the Supreme Court of the United States for 27 years. He was three times elected grand exalted ruler of Elks and was one of the most popular heads that organization ever had. In view of these facts we wholeheartedly endorse Armond W. Scott to be appointed to this position. We are of the opinion that those who are advocating the appointment of Judge James A. Cobb to succeed himself are not only misguided, but are unaware of the sinister move behind the white press in its effort to block the appointment of Attorney Armond W. Scott. Judge Cobb's record speaks for itself. His scholarly demeanor and legal qualifications equal those of any officer of the District. His service to the profession and to his race has been unequaled, but on the other hand the administration has spoken and politics demand that the appointment go to one who has been loyal to the party. Others have been replaced by the administration despite their record in office. It is understood that with the fall of parties the posts held by the vanguished are to go to the victors. Some have resigned with the fall of their chief. Others remained to be finally ousted. However, it is doubtful if another colored man will be selected for the post of Municipal judge if the appointment of Mr. Scott is blocked. He has been chosen not only for his ability, but as one who has labored long years in support of a party at a time when it was unpopular for a Negro to be called a Democrat. The white press and other white organizations know that if Mr. Scott is kept from the post it will be impossible for another colored man here to be appointed as most of those qualified have followed the opposition party or have strong leanings towards the G.O.P. A white man will get the appointment. Mr. Scott's wide and varied experience certainly fits him for the position as judge. At the age of 17 he successfully managed a newspaper in his home town, Wilmington, N.C. and has been a member of the Supreme Court of the United States for 27 years. He was three times elected grand exalted ruler of Elks and was one of the most popular heads that organization ever had. In view of these facts we wholeheartedly endorse Armond W. Scott to be appointed to this position. The Woman Who Dared Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, founder and president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, is asking Washingtonians for $6,000 that she might operate her school this year. As pointed out by Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, at the opening of the drive for this sum a few weeks ago, Miss Burroughs might easily have appealed to white persons for support and have secured the sum without much effort. Miss Burroughs is a good speaker and could have easily convince a white philanthropist that $6,000 was a small sum and would have no doubt received a check for that amount. Miss Burroughs dared to cast her entire lot with her own people and dared to depend on them for support. How well she has succeeded can be seen in the school out at Lincoln Heights. Faced with a crisis, she is asking for a mere trifle compared with the work she has done and is doing in the training of women and girls. Washington can not afford to let this school suffer and every citizen should feel it a personal obligation in seeing that Miss Burroughs continues to keep up her work without the necessity of having to spend valuable time seeking aid. She dared and we can not permit her to falter or surrender. Her work is as worthy of our help as is the Red Cross or Community Chest to which our people annually give many thousands of dollars.

At Least Write A Letter Sunday has been fittingly designated as Mother's Day and persons living away from home are asked to remember their mothers on that day. Only a mother can appreciate hearing from a child after having not seen him for a period of time. A small token of love, a bouquet of flowers or at least a letter should be sent to every mother by children living away from home, or at home.

Square Deal Promised It looks like the new deal may mean a square deal after all to Negroes here in the employment set-up. Much credit for this is due to the untiring efforts of William E. Taylor, of the Howard Law School, who has brought to the attention of District officials the urgent need of placing colored persons in positions in the various municipal organizations. The proposed naming of several colored persons as interviewers in the U.S. Employment Service and one assistant manager is an indication that those in charge are willing to put the new deal into practice. David Ruml, director of the local office, in an address Monday before a group at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. pointed out that he plans to employ a fair proportion of colored persons in his office. This was done following several conversations with Mr. Taylor and other members of the Joint Citizens Committee. Mr. Ruml stated that as a model set-up, segregation should find no place in it. For every man who has something important to say, there are a hundred who have the ability to write and talk glibly. This can be proved by attending three luncheon or dinner meetings or by reading the editorials in half a dozen newspapers.

(Signed) WISE GURL. Says School Engineer Local Is No More Jim Crow Than Churches. To the Editor: In regards to the article headed "Says Engineers Refuse to Join Jim Crow Local," published in The Tribune of April 26, I wish to reply that whosoever is responsible for the article is ignorant of the truth concerning the local recently organized in divisions 10-13 of the public schools. It is asserted, in the said article, that the local is a jim crow organization, and that colored engineers are refused to join it. In this connection might I ask this question: are the several colored churches of the denominations that have both white and colored churches "jim crow" churches? The local's organization is similar to that of the churches. There are two locals in the school system—one for white and one for colored engineers. Business for the good of the engineers is first brought before the locals and then such business is referred to the executive committee of each local, who hold a joint committee meeting to shape the business for the good of all concerned before it is presented to anyone outside of the locals. Twice to my knowledge organizations have been formed in which white and colored members have met together. Both were failures because of the fact that only a few white and colored would join on account of racial hatred on both sides. The standing of the locals today indicates success for this arrangement, as the white local No. 102 embraces nearly 100 per cent and the colored local No. 104 nearly 50 per cent of the engineers in the school system. The statement is untrue and is made, I believe, to create race hatred. The truth is that if you would refer to the brief that Local No. 102 presented to the board, you will find that it was accepted and referred to the Rules Committee of the board Later—in April—Local No. 104 sent its app—proval of the brief to the board, and this also was accepted. Both locals were recognized by the board, and each has a letter to that effect in its files. Your statement regarding the rushing through of a jim-crow local by the whites is untrue, because the organizing committee of the white union called me and several other engineers in the colored schools early in September, 1933, and urged that we organize the colored engineers. Very little effort was made by these colored engineers to organize until December, 1933, when we began in earnest. The result was the formation of Local No. 104 in March, 1934. The two locals, Nos. 102 and 104, have equal status in the International Union of Operating Engineers, which is affiliated with the A.F. of L. It seems to me that the whole tenor of the article which you published is misleading and of use only as a weapon to break up Local No. 104 by the creation of race hatred which does not now exist among its members.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE THURSDAY MAY 10, 1934 Nannie Burroughs Tells DuBois Humanity Is One; Says Whites Help Race to Progress By Nannie H. Burroughs In his discussion of segregation in the April issue of the Crisis, Dr. DuBois asks an impertinent question. It is also a question which only pseudo-scientists discuss seriously. He asks: "How shall we (Negroes) conduct ourselves so that in the end human differences will not be emphasized at the expense of human advance?" There are no basic "human differences" to "be emphasized" now nor "in the end." The differences that appear on the surface are racial, incidental, environmental, and not—"human." Humanity is one—biologically, psychologically, philosophically and religiously. Biologically—Humanity is conceived, constructed and born alike, and need practically the same subsistence. Psychologically—The human mind is one. That is why mass or public education is such an effective instrumentality for leavening the lump. That is why it is so essential in a democracy. If given the same time and opportunity for mental development, human beings become quite similar in ideals, attitudes, common objectives, and cooperative qualities. Philosophically—Humanity is one. Human beings behave alike under similar circumstances. In practical wisdom their reflections, reactions and deductions in common or native situations are fundamentally the same. All human beings sense the fact that life is their common heritage. Instinctively, they think it was made for them to enjoy. That is why all children like to play. Instinctively all human beings think of life as mutual interrelationship, that is why all children like to play together) and an obligation of all members of society, to the good of all, with no person or group to deny them that right. That is why the normal child shares its candy. That is the root idea of democracy. HUMAN BEINGS—(not one race) will eventually remove, subdue, defeat or destroy anything that keeps them from enjoying their common birthright. "Subdue the earth" is a divine command. That same idea is the heart of the Declaration of Independence and the rights of man. Speed does not interest God and nature in "human advance." "Let patience have her perfect work" and eventually we shall enjoy our common heritage. Religiously—Humanity is one. One Father, one earth on which to live, and one common destiny. All are brothers. Not brethren but brothers. All are heirs of God. All humanity has an inner consciousness of kinship and kingship. The kingdom is within every human being. That means that all have the native hunger for the same things of the spirit. The things that are attributes of God such as love, liberty, justice, opportunity and freedom. This inner desire cannot be quenched, squelched, controlled nor destroyed by man or man-made contrivances, however effectively they may seem to work or however long they may overwork. The destiny of the human race is the same. Scientists agree that: biologically, psychologically, philosophically and religiously, there are no innate, basic, "human differences." Since we are one in origin, we are kin. Since our fundamental needs are the same, we should work together to supply them. Since we are one in destiny, we ought to deviop and glorify the the things of the spirit so that we can claim our divine heritage. No one race can claim it. The Bible settles that question when it says: "Ye shall not see my face except your brother be with you." Therefore, in the end we shall be emphasizing the oneness of humanity and not "human differences" as indicated in Dr. DuBois' first question. In fact, humanity shall emphasize its own oneness by its united achievements. "These things shall be! A loftier race Than ere the world has known shall rise With Flame of brotherhood in their souls, And light of Knowledge in their eyes. "Nation with nation, land with land Unarmed, shall live as comrades free, In every heart, and brain shall throb The pulse of One Humanity." 2. Dr. Dubois asks: "How shall we conduct ourselves?" Perhaps it is quite pertinent to ask just what does every sane Negro want, or just what does he not want? He wants to enjoy all of his God-given rights, and he does not want to be penalized for not being white. First-We shall conduct ourselves as all other members of the human race who know what they want and are willing to pay the price for it. Second—We shall conduct our- selves as if we do not give a continental for this incidental thing called Color. We shall not look upon white skin with adoration nor upon black with reversion. We shall tell those who do not like the race varieties down to go to heaven. Third—We shall not ask for any more, nor shall we be satisfied with any less than even-handed justice. Fourth—We shall not whine and beg other races to carry us. We shall insist on getting our common everyday rights, so that we can do our everyday duties, and carry our own load as becometh human beings. We shall "stop apologizing for not being white"—take our places on our merit—go ahead or go behind. Fifth—We shall be everlastingly grateful for all that is done by others to help the race, and at the same time, we shall make initiative, ingenuity and self-help the most vital thing in Negro life. We shall hammer on fundamentals. That has not been done. 3. Dr. DuBois asks: "Whose job is it to change that condition?" It is the job of all Negroes who are not ashamed nor afraid to be Negroes; who do not have the inferiority complex nor the "white fever;" who have respect for the human personality; who believe that they are divinely equipped to make valuable contributions to civilization. It is the job of the humblest Negro who has the heart to hope, hands to labor, and a mind to think; of Negroes who do not believe that they are "problems" to be worked; who do not believe that white people are devils to be hated, and Negroes saints to be coddled; who do not think that breaking into the white race is the way out who believe in the justice of God and the ultimate triumph of right. It is the job of all white people to realize that the Negro is their brother; that he has as much right to enjoy the earth and the fullness thereof, as they have; that he has made real and valuable contributions to civilization; that there will be no peace on earth until there is good-will toward him; of all who have respect for the human personality; of all who want America to keep her word and live; of all who realize that the surest way to preserve race integrity is to practice economic justice; of all whites who are not willing to sacrifice their own advancement to keep the Negro in the gutter; of all who realize that since the two races will have to live in the same country that they might as well learn to do it right; of all whites who appreciate the fact that God has blessed their race so that their race might grow in righteousness by blessing other races. Before the Negro race can strike the highway to "human advance" it is necessary for it to learn some things and unload some things. The most important thing for the race to learn is that what white people do to us does not retard our progress half as much as what we do not do for ourselves. There is only one sure way to "change conditions." The Negro himself, must glorify what he has—his spirit, his patience, his strength, his song, his oratory, his laughter, his beauty in the greatest variety of hues, his spiritual eduement and enthusiasm. Pan-oplied as it is, the race is equipped to furnish a full measure of the joys of earth, and achievements on all fronts. Since the race is poor in things material, what instrumentalities has it at hand to use daily in the conquest. We can use "Three B's" This and That In the untimely demise of Wm. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, we are reminded of what an unappreciative race we are. There was a man that gave his whole life, physical and mental energy, and all the wealth he earned and inherited, in an unselfish effort to fight the battles of the race—but in the end—when aged and feebled, his publication, The Guardian, was lost to him because of non-support by the race, and sick disheartened and dis-illusioned, whether by ac- not have been friendless—he cer- cident or otherwise he meets an untimely end and while he may tainly was penniless. For what was his life fought? During the past year, spurious currency, totaling $900,000, has been seized by United States Secret Service agents. Mt. Ararat, Armenia, on which Noah's Ark rested after the great flood, is more than three miles above sea level. Approximately 5,000,000,000 cigars are consumed annually in the United States. —the Bible, bath and broom, symbolic of clean lives, clean bodies, and clean homes. Or in other words, the Bible represents salvation, service and sense; the bath—health and happiness; the broom—industry and cleanliness. Therefore we are to transform lives, promote health and make homes. All human progress depends upon how religiously races use these three civilizing agencies When church, school and home hammer on these three fundamentals, "human advance" is assured. Of course, this is a very simple prescription, but nevertheless, it is the only one that assures "human advance." In preparation for our long march, we will have to unload all excess baggage—"lay aside every weight." Unload—get rid of color apalegists, fleecers, parasites, sycophants, Uncle Toms, Doubting Thomases and sitting down reformers. Our reformers have taught the Prisons and Prisoners By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL Here in the city of Chicago a few hours before this is written three men were executed at the county jail. All three men, two white and one colored, were, of course, duly convicted and given the extreme penalty, after a fair trial and defense, etc. The incident provided many opportunities to study human nature. It also provided copy for many "extras" by the daily press. Some four thousand Chicagoans applied for the privilege of watching three men being put to death. Of these four thousand applicants only two hundred were accommodated. Included in the two hundred were friends and relatives of the victims whom the three prisoners were convicted of killing. Of the three men executed the colored man was the only one who had neither friends or relatives who visited him during his last hours on earth, yet he was the only one of the three who went to his death in a perfectly composed manner as, typical with his race, he found soace in religion during his last days, and with the soace that religion could and did bring him, apparently, with eagerness to commence his journey into the hereafter 'or the next great adventure. And speaking of a condemned man finding soace during his last days in religion, I might relate here how religion, or probably a little too exact an interpretation of it, caused a condemned man being put to death when the lack of his religious interpretation would have secured for him a commutation of sentence to life imprisonment instead of death. The incident occurred, I think during the year 1928 in Kilby prison—the prison that has been made famous or notorious because of the Scottsbore case. The condemned man, colored, of course, had been accused and convicted of a crime for which he always maintained his innocence even though convicted on circumstantial evidence. The Hon. Bibb Graves was then governor of Alabama, and he took an exceptional interest in prison matters and personally went over all the evidence in every case where a prisoner was to be put to death, often coming out to the prison to further his investigations. As was the custom at Kilby, and maybe still is, groups of colored prisoners, singers and prisoner-preachers would be permitted to visit the condemned cells to give solace to the condemned men. One of the prisoner-preachers had practically converted the particular condemned man in question, and was permitted to attend the condemned man at his electrocution. Gov. Graves, despite the recommendations of his Pardon Board, did not feel that he could conscientiously let the condemned man go on to his death without making a further personal invesigation in the form of interviewing the condemned man. As the condemned man was being strapped into the chair he was told that the governor was present and wanted to hear the true story from the lips of the condemned man. The prisoner-preacher spoke up and admonished the condemned man to tell the complete truth as he did not want to go to his "glory" with a lie on his tongue. And for the first time the condemned man admitted his guilt and a few seconds later he went to his "glory." The daily papers the next day mentioned the fact that if the condemned man had still struck to his original story and denied his guilt that the governor, at the last moment, was going to give him the benefit of the doubt and commute his sentence to life imprisonment. At least, however, the prisoner acted consistently with his new-found religion. SPECIAL FEATURES Negro to think color and not character—race and not grace. They are responsible for our present plight. No race in the world is as handcapped from within as is the Negro race. Unload! Clean out! Clean up! We cannot advance until we do! Negro people need CRUSADERS (not reformers) who will fire them with a passion to work, support themselves, and to their own powers appeal—a passion for self-help and self-achievement; CRUSADERS who by their zeal and heroic examples will set the heart of youth aflame with hope and faith, and a desire to find a way out or make one. because "human advance" depends on human vision and courage. "The human will, that force unseen." The offspring of a deathless soul Can heew to any goal Though walls of adamant inter- Only White Folk Count Down in Memphis Negro life in Memphis is not worthy of comment, not anything for public concern, if the public attitude of the Commercial-Apeal, daily newspaper, is to be taken as a true index of the value of the lives of colored people. Below appears an excerpt from this daily: "Three men murdered by Negro holdup men who have not been captured—an insurance man shot to death by his wife while he slept. "This is the 1934 Memphis homicide record to date—not including 29 Negroes who have been killed. The total of 33 is one less than for the same period of last year." The Commercial-Apeal continues with a description of the crimes in which three white men are alleged to have been killed by Negroes and of the murder of the white insurance salesman by his wife. But there is nary a word expressed about the killing of 29 Negroes. No effort is made to direct public attention to murder as murder, but only to the murder of whites. That is one of the reasons Memphis has had 33 murders this year, more than 5 per cent more than London, with 8,000,000 inhabitants, had all last year. A Tribute to Mothers By THOMAS BRIER Agani it is our duty to solemn turn our heads to the sky and sing praises to Him that has given and has taken away the best friend of man. Sunday, May 13, 1934, will be Mothers' Day. Those who knew not what Mother's Day was have come into the world to laugh and to play under the eyes of new mothers. They who have never known what motherhood would be, have brinkled the great divide to bring to the world an ever increasing population. They who have been joyous over the fact that they have mothers will be saddened e'er many more days—so is life and so is the will of the Redeemer. A flower is no symbol great enough to show our appreciation to the womanhood of mankind but it is the outward show of our inner self. Let us go deep down into ourselves and make a thorough search to estimate our deeds to our mothers. Go back as far as you can remember. See how we have been trained by our mothers to be the man or woman that she wanted us to be? Can we say that there is something we should not have done?- Yes, every one can and there is a time to recompense these wrongs. Don't forget her, Sunday Is there something that we wished to do and did not have a chance? Then try it this Mother's Day. If none of these worldly possessions you can give, then go to church and praise God for having given you in life such a great person. Together, with praises to God for our happiness and comfort to our unfortunate brothers, we erect an manimate monument. A monument that no human hand can touch. A statue in the minds of her sons and daughters. An image upon the brow of humanity and a resemblance of God through her in the souls of mankind. Thus we dedicate through all the expanse of the universe this wonderful monument beaten into life of of her children. The British Government is said to have adopted a newly invented rifle capable of firing bullets, at moderate range, through armor-plated war tanks. A 57-mile section of the Gun Barrel Road of Colorado is said to be the levelest and straightest stretch of highway in the United States. Two aged Berlin (Germany) ladies have been sentenced to a jail in prison for failing to report foreign currency in their possession. Oscar DePriest is Negro Congressman At Large The whole race hails Oscar DePriest as its representative at large—a man whom we all delight to honor. When Oscar DePriest was a candidate to succeed himself, the friends and advocates of a distinguished local rival made much of the point that he was giving too much attention to racial matters in general, and not devoting himself exclusively to his constituency at home. At the time I made the point that he was much more than the representative of the First II nois District, but that he had a race-wide constituency. The whole race has come to look upon, and to look up to Mr. DePriest as "Oscar Congressman" charged, as it were, with the duty and responsibility of looking after the interest of the whole race. He has generous accepted this responsibility which he has charged with signal success and satisfaction. Ordinarily a Congressman at large is elected from the whole state and has no special district constituency. He is practically a this Senator insofar as his sphere of influence are scope of his field are concerned. Mr. DePriest has a larger constituency than any other member of Congress, with the possible exception of the Senators from New York who divide a constituency of like size between them.

DePRIEST HAS A DUAL DUTY TO PERFORM DePriest, like any other Congressman, I under the pressing necessity of serving his district constituency under penalty of being supplanted for neglect of those upon whose vote he depends for re-election. He is to sagacious a politician to neglect his home fences. But his broader services have been rendered to his wider constituency. Three instances will indicate how well he has serve his race at large. 1. When the extra appropriation for the heating plant upon which hinged the fate of the extension program of Howard University had been rejected, DePriest stepped into the breach, and by unmatched parliamentary finesse, had the item restored, which enable this national Negro University to carry out its enlarged plans. This item involved nearly half a million dollars.

When the extra appropriation for the heating plant upon which hinged the fate of the extension program of Howard University had been rejected, DePriest stepped into the breach, and by unmatched parliamentary finesse, had the item restored, which enabled this national Negro University to carry out its enlarged plans. This item involved nearly half a million dollars. KEPT EYE ON CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CAMP 2. When the provision for the Civilian Conservation Camp was on its passage through Congress, the ever watchful DePriest proposed an amendment to the effect that this agency should be recruited and the workers treat without regards to race or color. I believe that this was the first bit of legislation since reconstruction days that carried such a non-discriminatory provision. The remarkable thing about the action was that it went through practically unanimously without serious dissent from North or South, Republicans or Democrats. 3. The recent and pending action of the House of Representatives with regards to race discrimination in the House Restaurant is most outstanding. A single Negro among four humdred and thirty-four white men, had so conducted himself as a member of that body that he was enabled by skillful parliamentary tactics to receive an affirmative vote of two to one on a motion questioning the authority of the management to refuse any patron on account of race or color. These several instances amply demonstrate the advantage of a racial representative at the seat of legislative power. Had it not been for the presence of DePriest, no one of these measures would have been presented to decision. White members of Congress, however kindly they may feel disposed toward their colored constituents, naturally lack the intimate interest to press their cause to ultimate enactment into law. 2.

NEGRO MUST PLEAD HIS OWN CASES The Negro must plead his own case in his own voice, if he hopes to have it heard and heeded. A white man pleading for the Negro, however generously, is apt to give the impression of sophistication and unreality. White philanthropists did indeed plead effectively for the Negro when his tongue was tied and he could not speak for himself; but now that that tongue has been untied, he must plead his own cause before the bar of public opinion. What DePriest has done on a national scale, Negro representatives in state legislatures and in city councils have often duplicated on a local and limited scale. The anti-lynching laws of Ohio and other states have been enacted by virtue of the insistence of Negro representatives. Civic rights laws have been added to the statute books of several states by racial representatives in the legislature. The whole race hails Oscar DePriest as its representative at large—a man whom we all delight to honor. A little more encouraging business wise. Drop gloom and activity will rise. Cotton looks a bargain. Oil leaders decree: "Dam oil or be damned." Not all union workers are getting union pay. Savings are increasing—a prelude to prosperity. Expect some price cutting. Work much—worry little. The Negro must plead his own case in his own voice, if he hopes to have it heard and heeded.

Al- ‘va, one of the chicf characters of the play, is an Irish Princess stolen from her home by pirates when a child, and sold as a slave in Gaul. She was purchased by the King of Egypt as a companion to his only child, Aida, Amusement is creat- ed throughout by Tabubu, the sis- ter of the Queen, who is always too late for everything. Act IT discovers Nyssa and Phila, two merry favorite slaves, reclin- ing on a divan, watching the per- formance of a dancing girl. After- ‘wards they conspire to play a prac-| Pat ra | Pays for One!

There is the mother of the jolly Foster brothers, Drs. William and Leo, and their interesting sister Anna (Mrs. James A. Porter of Burville, D. C.) And they do say that half of Mississippi is weeping its eyes out thinking maybe she won't come back. At 1806 Second Street, too, a lot of joyous greetings are being exchanged and all because the happy little lady who answers "here" when Mrs. Camille McDowell calls "Mother" has come from Mobile, Alabama to live in dear D. C. At No. 14 Iowa Circle (Dr. and Mrs. T. C. Smith live there) another Mississippi mother (Mrs. Smith's to be exact.) And ever since Grandma first arrived every single little "Smith" from lovely granddaughter Matee down to the dear adorable baby that enliven that pretty home has been wearing the kind of a smile that simply, positively won't come off. And what luck for Mrs. Catherine Boyne of 724 Fairmont Street. Not only has her own fond mother left her home in Chicago and taken her pretty place in the Fairmont fireside picture, but her husband's mother as well. And now everybody's glad for Catherine because the poor dear body has been very sick. But with mothers a plenty to cheer her and with Brown around to protect her (Brown's her husband, of course) there's really hardly a reason why Catherine shouldn't be in and out "a Maying" in another day or so. There is a mother at 43 R Street too, and surely in all the world there isn't another just like her. She's been terribly ill, too. But she is better now and very very happy over all the friends she found she had. And over the nice things they kindly said to her; and the nicer things hey came and did for her. I stop to ponder sometimes (I wonder don't we all) just what makes mothers the grand things they are. Speaking of mothers, how all the lovely ones in Washington will thrill with the thought that every carnation bought on their day (Sunday, May 13) at any one of the theatres will help the School Camp Scholarship Committee give some worthy girl a happy, wholesome vacation at Camp Clarissa Scott, Highland Beach, Md. The Epsilon Sigma Iota (legal sorority of Howard University) certainly knows how to pick its presidents or whatever you call the ones that head it. This time they have chosen Miss Alma Smith, 138 R Street, Northwest. And about that lady there's too much to tell. She teaches school in Baltimore, so at least, some of her charming manners must be of the Baltimore brand. Take the other night for instance. Being newly elected, by all the rules of the game, the sorority should have fed her, but did she let it? She did not. But early Saturday evening she asked the members to meet her at her home. Only an informal party she called it. But how we felt the Smith influence! In the enchanting arrangement of flowers; in the ever so different but delectable menu; in the delightful feeling of being at ease that enveloped every one of us. In the matter of something to wear the good lady didn't really intend to outshine her guests (Miss JOY IT, TOO ther's Day CAKE $1.25 (Serves 8 to 10 persons) Breyers Eat all ways ICE CREAM ers in advance—either from your ming the nearest Breyer Plant. CALL MET. 4662 Smith is far too clever to have any such notions as that.) But if she can put on a plain black dress of soft chiffon; if she can add a couple of lacey, light-as-a-feather ivory earrings and make the rest of us forget all about what the others had on, she certainly can't be blamed. There's really no use talking, Lady Alma knows her clothes. Today it's the "Song of the Wheels." Cartwheels! Wagonwheels! All kinds of wheels. And they are taking us everywhere! to work, to play, to dine, to dance, (Ladies' hats I mean). And the wider they are the more correct, they say. Really, though, if you don't believe they do the loveliest things to milady's face, just see Mrs. Slyvia Olden in that dark cartwheel she wears with a bunch of pretty posies set right up in front. Or see Mrs. Alice Durloon in the big, black, drooping brim that smartly covers one bright, sparkling eye. Of course, "on the picturesque Howard campus next Friday there will be but one shimmering, satin clad queen of the May Festival and she will be bewitching Grace Wilkinson. But if they needed another pretty queen I'd vote for Alberta (Miss Alberta Alston of 67 R Street) one of the queen's attendants. And what a vision she is going to make in crisp, green organdy. Appropos of the very smart Alberta, they're telling this story about her these days. She's a Howard University senior (the School of Education) and necessarily must practice the role of "Prett Miss Teacher." She was teaching at a certain school the other day, and desiring some information, she went to the regular teacher and together they sped to the principal's office. Looking at little Alberta, so demure and sweet, the principal said bewilderedly. "Now surely this little pupil hasn't broken any rule." There is the merriest kind of a twinkle in the eyes of William A. Baltimore, of 206 Elm Street. The reason? He is dreaming of the dear, idle days when he and Mrs. Baltimore can rush out to Colton and open "Justashack." Cheer up, tardy sleepers. There's good news for us. Manufacturers are encasing alarm clocks in metal coverings. Absolutely unbreakable they say. Now when we feel like hurling a couple of shoes, a smoking stand (or anything else we find at hand) at the mean old thing that, disturbs our peaceful slumbers we can go about it with a free arm and a clear conscience. Now wasn't it grand the way Bill (Bojangles) Robinson tap-tapped himself into a tremendous hit at the National Theatre last Sunday night for the benefit of the Actors' Fund? Speaking of actors, have you had a chance to see the happy, laughing little example of perpetual motion, known as "Tiny Bradshaw," who has been Hal Ha! Hailing away at the Howard Theatre. And little Myra Johnson at that same theatre doesn't keep very still herself. And doesn't her clever singing deserve a great big hand? Don't think for a single minute that every time you see the scholarly Kelly Miller looking intently about his lawn that he's searching for a fertile spot to set some cabbage plants; or that he's just about to inaugurate a big, one-man crusade against the tiny cut-worms that may later eat his beans. If you will kindly consult Mrs. Kelly (Mr. Miller's wife I mean), or maybe Mrs. John Cromwell, chairman of the Y.W.C.A. House Committee, or Mrs. Chas. H. Wesley, or the big Y.W.'s secretary, Mrs. McRao, you'll find that at least one reason Mr. Miller spends so many minutes on his lawn is that he's trying to make it pretty for the Y.W.'s Garden Party. Cards will be one feature and here's hoping that you win. And its quite likely that you will, too, unless you happen to meet the "Barrons," the "Pearsones," the "Cromwells" or maybe the—well, anyway be game and face them June the ninth on the lovely Miller lawn. All the excitement in and around 105 Seaton Place the past few days was due to the fact that dainty Dorothy Campbell was playing the title role in "Cinderella." So effectively was it rendered last Tuesday morning that Shaw Junior High officials ordered the smart young players to appear in a return engagement the following day. But, getting back to Dorothy, so busy was that little lady perfecting her difficult role hat breakfast and lunches and even dinners were often completely forgotten. And if you happen to know an attorney (Mr. W. A. L., Jr.) who lives at that same address, who of course is Dorothy's uncle, and whose pet diversion is dining, you know what that meant to him especially when you remember that it's Dorothy's daily duty to ring the dinner bell. If you intend to head for Highland Beach on the 30th day of May (as nearly everybody does) you'd better hit the highway early (there may be a traffic jam if you wail until late). For Camp Clarissa Scott is calling and D. N.'s bound to hear. It's a picnic, too, and I've heard at least two couples swearing in tones both loud and long that they'll be there in plenty of time even if they have to hike it. I know a dear somebody, too, who is planning a big old-fashioned basket (chicken, and salad and deviled crabs, won't melt your mouth any further), but here's a gentle hint: if you are not quite sure you can find the camp, call Potomac 1—some evening and get that somebody's name and address. And when May the 30th rolls around, she'll gladly put that basket in her new car's rumble seat, and if your own car has four wheels (maybe THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1934 for Child Health THE authoritative pamphlet, "Child Health," issued by the government at Washington, gives the instructions listed above. Read them carefully—check your own baby's diet with them. Every one agrees with Uncle Sam that good, whole milk is an important all-round food.

For if your sense of smell is working, those deviled crabs and chicken will lead you to the camp. If you've had a busy, dizzy day on May 29, and are not in the mood for stirring, a lot of pots and pans, don't let that hold you back. There'll be plenty of goodies at the camp. For Mrs. May Stewart Thompson and a score or more of other charming ladies will be right out there waiting to greet both you and your appetite. And won't you be awfully hungry after you swim, play bridge or dance! I've just figured out the reason (don't think I think I'm smart) why the eyes of so many bewildered listeners roamed so restlessly about the Cook School Auditorium the other night. Now they were gazing at the ceiling; now at the gorgeous scenery that afforded the proper setting for the pretty operetta the Margaret Washington Vocational School was presenting. Here, there, everywhere, those eyes went, looking about for birds (mockingbirds, nightingales, canaries and such). They saw Mr. Theodore Brockton on the stage and he certainly appeared to be whistling. But some people actually couldn't believe it was he. So they kept on looking for birds. Aren't our hats and our caps, too, off to Miss Ernestine Greene, 1125 Summer Road, Southeast, for winning the Howard University scholarship in the Washington Post Scholarship Contest? And when we saw her interesting face beaming out from between the pages of the Washington Post we felt like saying "What a Girl." To Address Women's Auxiliary The Rev.

Frazier Everyone will be interested in —something that will add a look an expression of delight and satis that may be given on that day, the honor or the proposed trip for her something a bit different prepared Everyone will be interested in something ideal for Mother's Day — something that will add a look of approval, or an extra smile, or an expression of delight and satisfaction. Aside from the little gifts that may be given on that day, the flowers that may be worn in her honor or the proposed trip for her enjoyment, how about a nice meal, something a bit different prepared by you for mother? Set your table with some of your finest linen and your prettiest china. Decorate it with beautiful flowers and make it rather distinctive and novel by your own individual arrangement, having everything in harmony of course, linens, china, and decorations, and your table will have that most inviting and attractive appearance. Now the question may arise, "What shall I serve?" There are new ways of serving familiar dishes and plenty of new dishes to serve to make the Mother's Day feast a real feast in every sense of the word. evaporated) ½ teaspoonful salt (govern by saltiness of ham) ½ teaspoonful white pepper ½ teaspoonful paprika 1/16 teaspoonful mace 1 tablespoonful granulated gelatine 2 tablespoonfuls cold milk 1 cupful whipping cream Prepare the ham and set aside.

APPETIZING SALAD On a bed of crisp fresh water-cress or lettuce lay three slices of tomato. Sprinkle this generously with chopped sour pickle, celery hearts and sweet peppers, using the same amount of each. Add your favorite dressing and place a small sweet pickle on top of each. This is particularly good with steak or fowl. Pineapple is most delicious with all kinds of meats. With chicken breasts, with currant jelly and butter it not only makes a garnish but a most delightful sauce as well. Use the pineapple juice in the gravy and add a bit of the fruit, too, to the brown gravy. EGG SALAD 5 hard cooked eggs 1 pimento, shredded $ \frac{3}{4} $ cup shredded lettuce $ \frac{3}{4} $ cup chopped celery French dressing Chop the eggs and toss together with the other ingredients and just sufficient French dressing to marinate.

SAYS COPS USED SMOKE TO HARASS MARCHERS Protest Sent to Chief of Police Against Tactics of Ray H. Mathews, secretary of the International Labor Defense, has written a letter to Major Ernest Brown, superintendent of police, protesting against the methods the police used in intimidating marchers during a parade on April 25th. The letter to Major Brown follows: "We wish to bring to your attention the following facts. During the parade that this organization sponsored on Wednesday, April 25, the motorcycle officers indulged in activities which had only one aim, and that was to disrupt our meeting at Twelfth and Q Streets by sounding their sirens, and to intimidate the workers in the ranks in different ways. "One of their methods was to stop every few minutes their motorcycles, permitting the front lines of the march come up close behind them, and then suddenly release a thick black smoke from their motorcycles. They did this repeatedly and continued it en after the leaders of the parade warned them not to do it. "Again, these motorcycle policemen who rode alongside the march tried persistently to ride on the marchers' feet. "And, lately, they intimidated Negro workers in front of Pythian Hall, who wanted to get inside, by driving them away. "We vehemently protest against such tactics by your subordinates, and particularly against the smokescreen method which is diametrically opposed to your own promise of last year, that such vile treatment of the workers will be abandon d." Plans Being Completed For Excursion to Chicago Local promoters are completing plans for an excursion to Chicago on June 2. The train leaves over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the railroad office, Fifteenth and H Streets, Northwest; D. J. Kaufman (Radio Joe) Stores; Hunton's Drug Store; Ninth and U Streets, Northwest; and Davis's Drug Store, Eleventh and U Streets, Northwest. The capacity of the excursion is limited to 300 and reservations may be had by calling North 10444. The excursion returns to Washington by 8 p.m., on Monday June 2. Those who wish to visit the World Fair will have a full day in which to see this exhibit. As the ole Cathedral clock tolled the hour of nine last Saturday night, corpses were aroused from the peaceful sleep of death by the hilarity (racket) caused by the quests of Marion Bolden at a party which was falling into swing time at one funeral home in the vicinity of Ninth and T. The gals were mugging slightly and the gents swinging properly to the tunes, created by the band-box. The lassies, anxious for a little lip work, started the famous game of truth and consequences. On one occasion a girl actually refused to kiss a boy. Believe it or not, but ask R. S. or M. P. Well, Rodney, we suppose the ole man won't let you have the buggy again. Tough luck about that window. We didn't receive our expected invites. Pardon us, we forget we can't crash Marion's social set. My, how some girls love to hold out invites. Doris West (well-known Second Streeter) was in charge of the invites for Marion's party, and didn't give certain girls their pastecards. Was it because she had a row over a certain young man and also effecting one of her bosom friends? Where was Mary Howard all day Sunday? We know where she was in the afternoon, and so will you. Between the hours of four and seven she was with several young men, you know, car riding, etc. The first ride was with Big R. N., and after leaving him she was taken on another by Clinton Staples. To be exact, they were seen in Alexandria, Va., that night. This column brings to you a personal interview with Tiny Bradshaw, the band leader who knocked 'em cold last week at the Howard. "Ever since I can remember I have loved music and longed for the stage. The stage is my home and I feel that my success is due to hard work. I don't think Cab was the hit in London that the press gave him. I like to come to Washington because I feel as though I am right at home when playing at the Howard. "Next year I hope to have an orchestra of my own." These were only some of the things Tiny discussed with us. He is very friendly and is as jolly off stage as he is on stage. He showed us how to hold a baton and told us how long it took him to learn the correct way to use it. He is the cousin of Rosalie Reid, who is a student at Dunbar High School. Rosalie will throw a little party in his honor tonight (Thursday) at her home on S Street. Next week we hope to interview Cab Callow. We only hope that Cab is half as nice to us as our own Tiny Bradshaw. Deer Morris: Youse guys seem to know all about this love business, so I'm writing to youse for advice. When me and my ole lady fall into the Masonic she acts all messy and sloppy. She goes one or two rounds wid me, see, but when she dances with that other guy she looks at him kinda steady like. I told her I wasn't going to have that, so she told me that I knew what to do. I am writing to you all, so spill the chin music. TRIGGER. Dear Trigger: We advise you to go down on Seventh Street somewhere and buy a bi-swing drape outfit and pimp up and down the block for about a week. If the ole lady won't come back, go up to Joe Bingham's dance one night and pick out a hard head and swing your number. In a course of time you will forget her. If you don't, pull out your tommie gun and commit sideways. Well, Trigger, good luck. The above letter was a copy from an actual letter. We didn't make any corrections whatsoever. Did you know that Dorothy Slade and her boy friend broke up last Sunday night? We wonder if Robert Hawkins is after Lillian Adams. Well, anyway, he walked home with her on Tuesday evening. A certain club was forced out of its Friday night bunk house last week. The club members were seen falling around the reservoir, after their informal dismissal. Theos who were present at the Hollywood Revue at the Lincoln Theatre, Saturday, saw history in the making. With Billy White and his orchestra in the pit and a most competent master of ceremonies at the "mike," the revue got under way following a vocal solo by Jimmy Scott (mamma, it's that croucher again). Following is an idea of what took place. Apparing in regular sequences were, Elizabeth. Funches as Nancy Carrol, attired in a scheaparelli blue afternoon dress; Robert Scourlock as Ricardo Cortez, attired in the conservative manner characteristic of Cortez; James Cowan as Buddy Rogers, attired in knobby fashion after that handsome Rogers guy. Elinor Hackett as Kay Francis, and I'm telling you, she looked mighty sharp, she did, yes sir, mighty sharp. Miss Hackett was clad in a most unusual red lace evening gown. Warfield Clark as James Cagney; Dorothy Simmons as Anne Harding, attired in a green cape suit, the cape lined and trimmed with crepe, high neck, and brown accessories. Ada Dean as Delores Del Rio, and what a Del Rio! A pink lace afternoon dress with a wide silver sleeve belt about the waist added a most entnacing Spanish air to that walk. Ada has which fairly speaks Spanish itself. Phoebe Broughton as Clara Bow; and does she fit the bill? I'm asking ya, does she fit the bill? Phoebe wore a black and white organdy dress with a ruffled white organdy collar. Valerie Kendrick as Catherine Hepburn. Man, she's serious just like that real Hepburn girl, too. Dressed in a yellow swagger suit (very mannish) with an egg-shell colored blouse, Valerie caused one of those hushed spells as she strolled across the stage (no man's land to these amateurs). Elwood Chisolam as Nils Astor, Mary Howard as Mary Brian, Jean Taylor as Claudette Colbert, and I'm sorry as the dickens that we couldn't get a description of her attire because everybody knows that Jean is a pretty hot number. And did she do the old familiar act? Hearty applause from the audience. Mae Arrington as Mae Clark. Mae was dressed in a peach lace afternoon dress. Without a doubt the most complete impersonation was that of Fifi Dorsay, India Wallace, who was dressed in a well-tailored two-piece white crepe suit. A half-length coat embroidered with orange with orange and brown, also orange accessories. LeCount Johnson as the one and only, Joe Penner (the carried a duck, a live one, too, and can you imagine someone wanting to know which one was the duck?). There were others which have not been mentioned, much to my regret, however there followed a vocal solo by Cyril Maxwell, and Maude Brown gave us "The Boulevard of Broken Dreams" via the "mike." Now for the climax. Jesse Stockton and David Anderson gave their interpretation of the Bolero. Anderson in a black shirt of Russian design, high neck and flowing sleeves, dark trousers and black shoes, presented a striking figure in contrast to Jesse's clinging white stain gown. Against a dark background, extinguished footlights, and in the brilliance of a dim blue spotlight, swaying to the strains of wailing saxophones, muted cornets and the throbbing beat of the tom toms, the dance team held the audience in unbroken suspense. The revue ended with the completion of the Bolero. Along with the temperature, Saturday, and this dance team and their Bolero—well, I'm tellin' ya, it was some hot. Everything would have been all right but for the fact that the players had to do their number in the space between the first and second rows of seats. You can imagine what a tight squeeze they had (not that it was undesired). When you can't rest in peace while looking at a show for the people climbing over you to get a seat. At the announcement of the close of the revue such remarks as these were heard from the front section: "What, no Mae West?" "What, no Schnozole?" and last but not least, "What, no Mikey Mouse?" Miner Students to Act As Hostesses to Visitors Students from Miner Teachers' College are acting hostesses to the visiting delegates to the National Conference on the Fundamental Problems in the Education of Negroes, which opened here last night. Six girls acted as guides on busses which carried the delegates on sightseeing trips, and other students assisted visitors in the various buildings in which sessions of the conference were held. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. MAY 10. 1934 Columbia Lodge By C. A. CORNISH Attorney Emory B. Smith, chairman of the Education Committee of Columbia Lodge No. 85, is engaged at this time in making preparations for the local oratorical contest, which will be held during this month. A special meeting to consider these arrangements has been called by Director of Education John C. Bruce, and will be held at the Elks' Home, 301 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, Friday evening, May 18, at 7:30 p. m. The entertainment committee of the lodge held a meeting on last Saturday evening. May 8, to make arrangements for its spring charity entertainment, which will take place on Tuesday evening. May 15, at Lincoln Colonade. Joseph A. Walker is chairman of the committee in charge.

The column, originated by Cap- tain Davidson and \subtitled “The Inside of the Outer Cricle,” was being released by the Associated Negro Press. Articles have al- ready appeared on Robert L. Vgnn, Henry Ar Hunt, and Eugene Wane” kle Jones, Article Held ‘According to Mr. Davidson, Claude A. Barnett, director of the Assuciated Negto Press, wrote him that he was holding the Foreman article to await his (Davidson's) judgment’ as to the advisability of releasing it, Davidson’ immediately replied, saying that he thought it'bad pol- iey not to release the Foreman ar- ticle. “Because Foreman had be- hind him powerful influences,” he said; “it might be concluded by some that the influences,are-able to..reach the Associated Negro Press.” Rees Without awaiting that answer, according to Davidson, the leading. paragraphs of the Davidson article Were used, two-thirds of the ori- ginal article omitted. and another Portoin substituted, and the whole released under the name of Eu- gene Davidson. Viewpoints Differ The article appearing last week on Clark Foreman was laudatory and apologetic, while the original Foreman article flayed the “Ad- viser” as being “a dangerous lead- er for the colored race.” ‘The print- ed article sought to justify the po- sition of Foreman as being worth- while; the original Davidson ar- tiele ‘called “the appointment of Clark Foreman a mistake which leaves the race but little better off and which leaves Dr. Foreman in a pitiable position.” ‘The Censored Column ‘The censored portions of the re- lease-ate as follows: Clark Foreman is still on. the payroll of the Rosenwald Fund, as is his secretary, Dr. Weaver is paid partly by the government and partly by the Rosenwald Fund. The other office assistant is paid by the government, The appointment of Clark Fore- man was not entirely satisfactory to the race. The N:A.A.C.P, sent a protest to the Department of In- terior,and newspapers throughout the country. protested vigorously against the placing of a white man in a position of advising on Negro affairs. But certain so-called Jead- ers of the race had agreed that their race should be led by a white man—and there he is, Appointment a Mistake The appointment of Clark Fore- man was a mistake—a mistake which leaves the-race but little bet- ter off and which leaves Dr. Fore- man in a pitiable position. ‘The'time has come in the his- tory of the race when it is never necessary to go outside the race to find men sufficiently educated, sufficiently efficient and sufficiently patriotic to advisg on Negro affairs. The few colored persons, who still believe that a white man is needed to properly advise either the race or others on the race, deserve the hearty condemnation of loyal Ne- groes. Even white men, within themselves, condemn such weak- lings. Dr. Foreman, himself, was hesitant about calling the names of the colored men who selected. hint. He said he would rather for the information to come from them, Subtle Distrust Moreover no white man can prop- erly feel the needs and aspirations of the race. Few white men can fight enthusiastically for justice to the Negro. And there is always a subile distrust, of a white man,es- pecially a Southern white man, who rofesses an ardent race interest. Wild animals can be tamed, but sometimes the savage breaks out in them, and. tamed lions have been known to bite the hand that feeds them. : Selected an Armenian Personally, Foreman is # fine fel~ low.

It is also’ ask- ed that the bill be revised when it comes up so as to strike out the words “‘in the custody of any peace officer,” which occurs in the bill. It is said that if this phrase re- mains in the bill, the law will only apply to those’ persons lynched while in the custody of officers It is well known that many tynchings occur where the victims have’ not yet been arrested or else have beer permitted to “escape” so that a mob could’kill them.
