Bernard Ades Breaks With Charles Houston Over Former's Trial Claims D.C. Lawyer is Placed in Camp of Those Who Are Depriving Negroes SAYS I.L.D. OPENLY CONDEMNS HOUSTON Baltimore Attorney Asserts Plan Agreed on in Case Was not Followed In a letter to Dean Charles Houston, of the Howard University Law School, Bernard Ades, of Baltimore, International Labor Defense attorney, flayed Houston for the way in which Houston conducted Ades's trial in Baltimore in connection with disarmment proceedings against the I.L.D. attorney. The letter to Dean Houston follows: "I received your letter of May 1, in which you stated that unless I gave you a written statement that I was entirely satisfied with your conduct of my case you would not represent me at my hearing before the Grievance Committee of the Maryland State Bar Association on May 4. I could not give you this statement, as I will explain below, and I therefore attended the hearing without counsel. Mr. O'Connor, the state's attorney, was present and, as a result of our repeated attacks in the press, he felt it necessary to make a statement that he had not brought charges against me, but that the charges which I had made, that Page Jupiter was being railroaded, were so serious that he had felt it his duty to bring my charges to the attention of the State Bar Association. Sapir's Executive Awarded "After his statement, it became necessary for Mr. Sherwood, the chairman of the Grievance Committee, to explain the long delay in this so-called investigation.

I was astounded to see this letter in view of my previous relations with Mr. Ades. Ordinarily I would not enter into a controversy with a former client, but Mr. Ades' letter contains so many gross misstatements that the public is entitled to the facts. "Mr. Ades' criticism of me in his letter is directly contrary to his attitude when the disbarment proceedings before Judge Soper closed. At that time he freely expressed himself as entirely satisfied with my handling of the case, and told me he realized I was the only person who stood between him and disbarment. "Mr. Ades now 'nakes the position that I should not have suggested a reprimand for him. But when the trial was on he was so much worried over the outcome that he instructed me to argue that he he given a reprimand instead of a suspension or disbarment, if he were found guilty. Lee's Body Caused Hitch "The sole thing for which I argued that Ades be reprimanded was his failure to disclose to Euel Lee what he was going to do with Lee's body. On the day before Lee's request, Ades, without any request or suggestion on Lee's part, went to Lee and got Lee to will him his body. Ades wanted the body so he Miner Teachers' College Professor Hurt in Fall Dr. Langston Fairchild Bates, head of the science department of Miner Teachers' College, has been absent from his classes following an accident: Saturday when he fell and injured his shoulder while directing a science class outing at Great Falls.

Fashionably dressed and oozing confidence, Green voluntarily appeared before the Judiciary Subcommittee of the House District Committee at a public hearing on the anti-gambling bill aimed at the numbers racket, which has already passed the Senate. Likening the operation of the numbers racket to that of any business concern, Green gave minute details as to losses which slip through the fingers of the backers, especially if they are honest. The sole representative of the racket admitted that he was a runner for one of the few honest operators, and gave the "low down" on the game while committee members and Lieut. George M. Little, chief of the police gambling squad, listened attentively. Take is $400 Daily Green denounced the dishonest operators who "welch" on the winnings of those who play the numbers game when they are hard hit. He declared that his boss had lost about $3,000 in the past two months, although he had realized about $20,000 in profits previously. The dapper young man declared that his boss took in about $400 a day. Enumerating the overhead (Continued on page 7) STOCKHOLDERS OF WHITELAW UNABLE TO STOP SALE Wednesday Night Appeal Fails to Net Money Necessary to Halt Auction Ways and means of meeting "an acute financial situation," which threatens the sale at public auction of the Whitelaw Hotel was discussed at a special meeting of the stockholders of that hotel last night (Wednesday). The meeting was held in the grotto of the building, with George W. Robinson, president of the board of direcotrs, in charge. Several plans were introduced in the hope of reaching a solution to the problem that confronts the large number of persons who have their money lodged somewhere in the make-up of the corporation's capital, but none of them netted an advancement of money. Stockholders had been advised in communications from Cicero A. Lee, secretary of the board, that their presence at the meeting was vitally necessary "to determine the future course of the company." Although the grill-room was nearly filled with stockholders who responded to the call, no money was advanced for the purpose of either halting or delaying the sale of the building at public auction tomorrow (Friday). Each in turn declared that the banking situation had so handicapped them that they were powerless. Meanwhile present plans for the auctioning of the building remain unaltered.

The action followed on the heels of the withdrawal of a motion for a new trial, filed by Attnrey Levi David, chief defense counsel, Justice Peyton Gordon, who heard the trial against Mrs. Gray and before whom she appeared for disposition of the case had intimated that he would consider a probation conclusion of the case before Attorney (Continued on Page 3) Scottsboro WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1934 Art Teacher's Reduced Rating Causes Reprimand Robert N. Mattingly, principal of Cardozo High School, was openly rebuked by the board of education, Wednesday in open session when the school official was called inefficient and showed animus when he rated Dr. John E. Washington, a teacher of art in the school. Mrs. Rosa Hampton, Dr. Washington's immediate superior and director of art in Divisions 10-13 also came in for the lash of the board. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, was a member of the committee that rated Dr. Washington, but was not mentioned in the report brought in by the committee on complaints and appeals. Objected to Low Rating Dr. Washington who has been in the service for some 20 years and at Gardozo for 9 years, objected to a low rating which he has received for the past four years. After a faint lasting over that period of time the case finally came before the board of education. Principal Mattingly was also charged with holding up official correspondence to the board and a "lack of tact" in dealing with the case of Dr. Washington. Dr. Washington who claimed he has received a rating for the past four years lower than what he was entitled to went over the head of Mr. Mattingly several weeks ago and wrote direct to the board. He maintained that he had been trying to get the matter before the board Mrs. Pearl M. Flipper was appointed Monday to take charge of placement in connection with the transfer of women from the Emergency Relief Bureau to the Public Employment Center. Her office is located at 230 Third Street. Northwest. White House Audience With President Denied To Scottsboro Mothers 2 FACE CHARGES OF $3,000 THEFT FROM EMPLOYERS Man and Wife Tried to Pawn $1500 Jeweled Watch in Penna. Apprehended in Altoona, Pa., when they are said to have attempted to pawn a jewel-encrushed watch valued at $1,500 for $100, William Gibson, 41, and his wife, Catherine, 38, servants in the home of Harold Russek, 3109 Woodley Road, were returned to the city on Wednesday night by Detective Sergeant Sullivan of the clothing squad. According to police, the couple is alleged to have stolen jewelry and clothing from Mr. and Mrs. Russek valued at $3,000 and fled from the city on April 27. Mr. Russek is a gown merchant. The Gibsons had been in the employ of the Russek for a month before the reputed theft. They had been secured from a local agency through use of the telephone. Detectives plan to question the couple late Thursday in connection with the theft. The Tribune Newsboys' Band is Organized Under the supervision of Prof. James E. Miller, final arrangements for the organization of a band to be composed of Tribune newsboys were completed on Tuesday night. Mr. Miller, of the Homer L. Kitt Company, was present and demonstrated the various instruments which the boys are to use. Other meetings are scheduled for the near future with a view of having the band ready for public presentation within a few months. Group Forced to File Pleas With Executive's Secretary; Others Wait RUBY BATES AMONG THOSE KEPT OUTSIDE A blunt refusal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to grant a personal audience to four mothers of the doomed Scottsboro boys and the barring of Roby Bates from the White House grounds, marked the visit, Monday, of a delegation which sought admission to the Executive Mansion for the purpose of urging Presidential intervention in the now famous Alabama case. Five persons, four of the visiting group of mothers and an official of the New York City branch of the International Labor Defense were received by Marvin H. McIntyre, secretary to the President. Their views were heard by Mr. McIntyre, who promised to present them to Mr. Roosevelt. Meanwhile Miss Bates, whose occupancy of the principal role in the Scottsboro case has gained her nation-wide recognition, was compelled to sit on the White House steps along with a group of some twelve or fifteen other members of the delegation. Ruby Bates Not Needed That the President and White House officials "knew what she was going to say," removed the necessity of her presence in the executive chambers. Mrs. Willie Anna Burroughs, whose charge that Mr. Roosevelt is "a President of the rich," rang out on several occasions, was also among the number denied entrance to the grounds. Mrs. Burroughs is a former public school teacher of New York City who was removed from the service because of her affiliation with a group protesting alleged inconsistences in the school system of the metropolis. Also in the delegation was Mrs. Mary Craig Speed (white), mother of the organizer of the International Labor Defense chapter in Montgomery, Alabama, who now makes her home in New York because "the state of Alabama by such actions doesn't want me." Several white and colored World War veterans were also among the group of individuals barred by the White House police. Miss Helen Kay, white, L.L.D. official; Bernard Ades, Solomon Harper and Mrs. Mary McIlwain rounded out the delegation. Inside Mr. McIntyre received the four mothers, Mrs. Jane Patterson, Mrs. Ida Norris, Mrs. Mamie Williams, and Mrs. Viola Montgomery, in the lobby of the ante-chamber. Mrs. Josephine Powell, the fifth mother who made the trip to Washington, was unable to attend, being forced to remain in her rooms by illness. Richard B. Moore, spokesman for the quartet, emphasized the importance of the President's consideration of the case, and pointed out his intervention in the Mooney case as well as his endorsement and support of the enactment of legislation against kidnapping. Moore charged that if Mr. Roosevelt refused to take any steps in recommending the release of the Scottsboro youths he would prove himself to be disinterested in the welfare of the millions of Negroes who helped elect him and who are allegedly protected by the Constitution. Each of the mothers spoke of having travelled thousands of miles in the hope of presenting their pleas to the country's leader on Mother's Day. They all expressed (Continued on page 2) LATEST Washington News NOW 5C ONLY CIPAL egro Child FIRST LADY IS KEYNOTE SPEAKER We Must Go Ahead Together or Go Down Together Says Mrs. Roosevelt With the First Lady of the Land sounding the keynote at the Friday morning session of the National Conference on Fundamental Problems in the Education of Negroes, the meeting ended here Saturday morning in the auditorium of the Department of Commerce Building in what was one of the most far reaching and significant gatherings in the history of education. Over 1,000 educators from every state attended the conference which lasted from Wednesday until Friday morning. A message from President Roosevelt was read at two sessions. These notes from the Chief Executive expressed the hope that much good might come out of the sessions. Pressure of business prevented the President from attending any of the meetings. Mrs. Roosevelt's address was broadcast over a nation-wide hook-up and was one of the outstanding of many brilliant addresses by world famous educators including such leaders as Secretary Harold L. Ickes, U. S. Commissioner of Education, Dr. George F. Zook and Oscar L. Chapman, Assistant Secretary of the Interior. "I think the day of selfishness is over," said Mrs. Roosevelt, "the day to work together has come regardless of race, creed or color. No one group can go ahead alons, we go ahead together or we go down together." "I think the Federal government is trying to help. I am fallowing with interest all that you are doing. I notice the figures of the cost per capita—colored and white. I could not but think how stupid we are in some ways. In any democracy every child should receive at least the best that that child is able to assimilate. That does not mean that education should not vary as some communities need a different type than others. We can't all be geniuses. We can at least have the opportunity to do the best." "It should be done for the best ideals of this country. We can't have any part beaten down and not expect other parts to feel the effect. It lowers the standard. Wherever we find the standard of education lowered, the standard of living is lowered." Has Gifts to Offer "I believe that the Negro race has tremendous gifts to bring to America, and I think that these gifts should be utilized for the good of the whole nation." Mrs. Roosevelt was introduced by Dr. George F. Zook, U. S. Commissioner of Education. Following her address the Women's Glee Club of Howard University rendered a musical under the direction of Miss Louise C. Burge.

PHILADELPHIA (ANP)—Mercy Hospital here has created a new department of bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy. The staff has elected Dr. W. Harry Barnes as head of the new department. Dr. Barnes is eminently fitted to conduct the work in this new and very important field, having done post-graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania, Universities of Paris and Bordeaux in ear, nose and throat. After returning from abroad he studied bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy under the famous Dr. Chevallier Jackson, inventor of the bronchoscope and esophagascoscope. In creating this new department Mercy Hospital has made a long stride forward in the advancement of medical science. Pins, tacks, and other foreign bodies can now be removed from the lungs. - Such diseases as asthma can now be relieved and even cancer of the lungs can now be directly treated by this new method. Dr. Barnes is now lecturer in bronchoscopy at Howard University Medical School and is a staff member of Jefferson Hospital and Phipps Institute. Associated with him at Mercy Hospital in the new department will be Drs. George Strickland, W. H. Rodgers, Jr., and Dr. James Martin, roentgenologist. These physicians will give all their services free thereby benefitting in a large measure the poor of the entire community.

Brooks Says that Dr. DuBois Sees Futility of His Old Method of Achievement After Twenty Years Victims Paid Racketeer $12.50 as "Deposit" on Uniform for "Position" Robert Miller, alias Robert M. Saur, 33, white, was convicted of fleecing applicants for a bell-boy job in an employment agency racket, and sentenced to 120 days in jail by Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Police Court, last Thursday. Saur was charged on two counts of false pretenses. The boys who brought the charges told the court they answered a newspaper advertisement which asked that applicants for a bell-boy's job call at a downtown hotel to interview "Robert Miller." The victims testified they paid Saur $12.50 as a deposit on their uniforms. Saur had advertised in a morning newspaper that he would obtain jobs for colored bell boys at $60 a month, plus tips. The boys became suspicious and telephoned police after paying the deposits for their uniforms. In passing sentence on Saur, Judge Schuldt expressed the belief that he was breaking up a vicious racket. The court was informed that 10 other applicants were waiting to see Saur at the time of his arrest Wednesday. Local Pastor Says Noted Crusader Has Reasons for Conclusions A great deal has been said recently about Dr. DuBois's apparent change on the question of racial segregation. Many who have never done anything to bring about a better day for the Negro group, not even join the N.A.A.C.P., are now crying, coward, deserter, compromiser, etc. It will be very discouraging and disappointing to some of us who are younger in the cause of race relations, if we finally discover that what is being said about Dr. DuBois is true, viz., that he has changed his philosophy in regard to American race prejudice. While we did not always agree with his method of attack, or his sometimes subtle irony, and often his strong unequivocal language in condemning what he considered injustice, but we never questioned his sincerity or purity of motives in championing the cause of all minority groups in general, and his own race in particular. Would Be Loss to Race We have noted for the last 20 years, with increasing interest and admiration, his eloquent utterances from the American platform and the moving power of his trenchant pen, as he has plead the cause of a defenseless people. Without question he has been one of the most feared protagonists that has been produced within the last century. With a mind that only recognized facts, a race consciousness that demanded equal justice, and a courage that knew no danger has Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1934 $2,330 Raised in Local NAACP Campaign Archibald S. Pinkett, secretary of the District of Columbia branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, announced Tuesday that the membership campaign in progress has raised $2,330.46. The $3,000 goal is expected to be passed before the campaign ends on May 22, Mr. Pinkett said.

The race will indeed suffer a great loss if we are no longer to have that bold and insistent challenge of American prejudice and hypocrisy, by this able and defiant leader who has proved by sheer reason and logic the absurdity of race prejudice and discrimination. Has Reasons for Change If DuBois has reached the place in his thinking where he is willing to accept less for his race than he would have 20 years ago, I for one am very sorry, but I think he has reasons for his conclusions. LAWYERS' DAY TO BE HELD MAY 27 LAWYERS' DAY TO BE HELD MAY 27 Mass Meeting at Asbury Church to Feature Program Lawyers' Day will be celebrated by the Washington Bar Association on Sunday, May 27. The association is sending a lawyer to each church to address the congregation during the morning services. The speakers will discuss the relationship between the lawyer and the church, the problems confronting the community and the part the lawyer has played in solving said problems. At 8 p.m., at Asbury M.E. Church, Eleventh and K Streets, Northwheat, the Rev. R. M. Williams, pastor, the association will hold a mass program. Some of the speakers and their subjects at this meeting will be as follows: "The Lawyer's Place in the Struggle for Freedom," by Dean Chas. H. Houston; "The Relationship Between Labor and the Law," by Belford V. Lawson; "The Relationship Between the Church and the Law," by Perry W. Howard. Some of the other features will include music by Louis Brown and a solo by Attorney George W. Peterson. Urges Fight for Equal Opportunities Although Distinct and Segregated No one can expect to win in any cause, however great it may be, unless he possesses two well-defined convictions. First of all, he must believe in the cause he fosters, with all of his mind, soul and strength. In other words, he must believe that it is big enough to command all he has to give and more. And in the second place, he must believe in the possibility of its success. We have no doubt, but that Dr. DuBois possessed both of these convictions 20 or more years ago. But the weight of years has taken its toll. The slowness of success has dampened his ardor. The apparent impossibility of changing the white man's attitude, and the unresponsiveness of the Negro in his own interest, have, in my humble judgment, chilled his crusading spirit. Has Lost Faith But the most pathetic thing that remains yet to be said is, that after struggling with might and main for 25 years in a great and noble cause, there has been little or nothing gained, to paraphrase his own statement. This means of course, that he has lost faith in every achieving ultimate success. So when he expressed a degree of satisfaction with segregated advantages, which means advantages segregated or no advantages, he is thought of as compromising or retreating from his former position. The fact is, Dr. DuBois sees the futility of his method of OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER SCUSS A FUNERAL SERVICES HELD FOR VETERAN COURT ASSISTANT Chas. P. Roy, Nearly 30 Years in Court Office, Succumbs is Buried Funeral services for Charles P. Roy, for nearly 30 years an assistant clerk in the District Supreme Court, were held from Shiloh Baptist Church, last Saturday afternoon. The Rev. E. L. Harrison, pastor of the church, officiated. The Rev. R. D. Grimes, pastor of the Salem Baptist Church, and Professor Benjamin Brawley, of Howard University, also eulogized the deceased. Mr. Roy died at Garfield Hospital, last Wednesday, following a comparatively brief illness. He became sick the previous Friday night after he had returned home from his work in the office of Clerk Frank E. Cunningham. He remained in his rooms at his home, 1205 Harvard Street that night and was taken to the hospital the next day. Born in Ashland, Va., 60 years ago, Mr. Roy came to this city at the age of 18. At the time of death the former assistant, clerk had been a resident of Washington for approximately 42 years. He had many friends in downtown legal circles, having acquired the knack of going about his work with the intelligence and precision of one who knows his business. White and colored lawyers alike knew him as a fixture in the court clerk's office. Surviving Mr. Roy is his wife, Mrs. Lucy J. J. Roy, two sisters, Mrs. Lucy Gaddis and Mrs. Elizabeth Cook and one brother, Howard I. Jones. Interment was at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. He was a member of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, and of the Free Ancient and Accepted Masons. FALSE ARREST IS CHARGED TO COPS Miner College Students Say They Were Locked Up 24 Hours Two Miney Teachres' College students stated this week they plan to bring action against two white policemen for false arrest on April 22. The boys were held 24 hours without charges being placed against them. Wilbour Wilson, 1004 O Street, and Robert E. Smith, 907 Westminster Street, Northwest, claim they were arrested at Fourteenth and S Streets, Northwest, and locked up at No. 2 Precinct. The boys say they were placed in a cell with drunken men and not permitted to communicate with their parents or friends. Later when the officers learned they were college students an attempt was made to "smooth" things over, they said. The youths, both 21, have reported the matter to the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and are sending letters of protest to Major Ernest Brown, Commissioner Allen, and Mrs. Mary Norton, of the District Senate Committee. Ten thousand American Indians served in the World War Morrison Brothers May Still Get Contract That the Morrison Brothers, of 1130 Girard Street, Northwest, may yet be awarded a contract to build the much-needed eight-room brick school building at Fairmount Heights, Md., was made known to the Tribune this week. The brothers, whose bid for the building was $266 under the PWA allotment of $32,000 were reported to have been unable to post the necessary bond, which amounted to $34,000 rather than $10,000, as stated in the Tribun last week. The contract was thereupon awarded to the second highest bidder, a white contractor, who likewise failed to post the necessary bond. Rebids have two been called for, and the Morrison Brothers, having made arrangements to post the required bond, will attempt once again to get the job. OFFICER FREED BY JURY FACES POLICE TRIBUNAL OFFICER FREED BY JURY FACES POLICE TRIBUNAL Justification for Use of Revolver in Fatal Shooting Sought Lawrence L. Jackson, suspended officer of the Fourth Precinct, who was recently acquitted by a Supreme Court jury of the fatal shooting of James Davis, of 362 B Street, Southwest, on Christmas Eve, faced the Police Trial Board, Wednesday, as it endeavored to determine whether or not the officer was justified in drawing his revolver. Certain specifications of drunkenness against Jackson were dropped before the trial proceeded following argument by John H. Wilson, attorney, who has valiantly fought to clear the officer of all charges. Following an array of witnesses, the board, which included Inspector Stott, Captain Kelley, of the Third Precinct, and Captain Bobo, of the Fifth Precinct, continued the hearing until the coming Tuesday. The specification charged that Jackson shot Davis while the former was off duty and in a drunken condition. Jackson has contended that he shot in self defense. "Justified." Says Captain Captain Jeremiah Sullivan, of the Fourth Precinct, the first witness, declared in his testimony that he felt that Jackson was justified in drawing his revolver. He also stated that Jackson was apparently under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, but had Jackson been a private citizen he would not have arrested him. Albert Smith, Richard Saunders, and Saul C. Snyder, white, followed Captain Sullivan on the stand and gave accounts of the fatal shooting which they had previously related before the coroner and the Supreme Court jury. Jackson's contention is that he was attacked by Davis and his friends in front of a grocery store at 229 Four and One-Half Street and that he fired when Davis began tussling with him. Other witnesses of the incident and the police surgeon who examined Jackson following the fatality will testify when the hearing continues on Tuesday..... z Freedmen's Supervisor Addresses Frances Grads Miss Susie Coulbourne, first assistant supervisor of nurses at Freedmen's Hospital, addressed the graduating class of the Frances Junior High School, Thursday, during the observance of Child Guidance Week .

THEATERS SPORTS ELEVEN ROOSEVELT AND WHITE CONFER ON ANTI-LYNCH BILL ROOSEVELT AND WHITE CONFER ON ANTI-LYNCH BILL N.A.A.C.P. Secretary and President Talk Over Measure President Franklin D. Roosevelt granted an interview, Sunday evening, May 7, at the White House, to Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who presented the Chief Executive with the latest developments in the campaign for the passage of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill. During the talk, which began at 6 o'clock and lasted more than an hour, the President chatted informally and again expressed his abhorrence of lynching. He was interested in the Costigan-Wagner bill and asked several questions which showed he had given the legislation attention even in the midst of the heavy schedule of the lational recovery program. 11 States Have Laws Mr. White pointed out that according to latest advices there were enough votes pledged for the bill to pass if it could be got up for a vote. Mr. White also dealt with the much-discussed objection to the bill—that of the liability clause against the counties where a lynching occurs. He pointed out to the President that 11 states have anti-lynching laws which contain this liability clause and that the clause has been upheld as constitutional by state courts. Mr. White also cited the recent book of Prof. J. H. Chadbourn, of the University of North Carolina Law School, which declares that in South Carolina the number of lynchings in the state declined sharply after the imposition of such a penalty and that no county which had been penalized had ever had a second lynching. At the suggestion of the President a memorandum was prepared by the N.A.A.C.P. and sent him covering this section of the bill. Mr. White urged upon the Chief Executive the necessity of the bill being voted upon at this session of Congress. Would Wipe Out Restriction The N.A.A.C.P. has also prepared a memorandum and sent it to all members of Congress pointing out why it is necessary to lift the restriction of the Costigan-Wagner bill so that it will apply to all lynchings and not simply to those where the victims are taken from peace officers. The memorandum shows that of the 559 lynchings which have occurred from 1918 to date, 308 have been of persons not taken from peace officers or jails, whereas 251 were of persons taken from officers. Thus if the Costigan-Wagner bill is passed as it is now worded, it will apply to only an average of 44.9 per cent of the lynchings. Fifty-five per cent would not be affected by the bill.

LAMB For the Associated Negro Press COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. “Mopping up” crews from Colorado Springs’ police force are busy this week “mopping up” the colored colony here to rid the city of “undesirable” Negro characters following the conviction of William Drew, 35 years old, in the alleged attack on two white Colorado College students on April 15. Drew, who was said to have pleased guilty to charges of robbery and attempted rape, was sentenced to life in the state penitentiary at Canon City in a trial that consumed only 95. minutes and which is said to be the fastest major proceedings of record in the district court. Miss Georgia Lindley and James O'Brien were the complainants in the case and their typewritten depositions read at the trial on May 6, stated that while the couple were seated in a parked automobile between the Union Printer's home and Prospect Lake, on the road leading south from the home, Drew, accompanied by George Williams (whose trial has been deferred until a later date) came up on opposite sides of the machine and seized the two white people. O'Brien was allegedly struck over the head with a revolver, dragged from the car and given a severe beating. The other attempted to feloniously assault the woman, but she allegedly successfully fought him off. Wholesale Arrests Made Wholesale arrests of Negro residents of this city started and within less than 12 hours, Williams and Drew were in custody. A mob quickly formed outside the jail and burned a Negro in effigy on East Costilla Street. In order to evade the lynch threat, the two prisoners were moved to Canon City for protection. It was here, it was said, that the two made their confessions which eased the tension that has gripped the city for the past three weeks. Three colored women, said to have hampered the investigation by giving false statements, were brought from the county jail to Chief Hugh D. Harper's office and given the alternative of leaving Colorado Springs or eventually going to jail on charges of obstructing justice. Others who failed to tell the police on Drew and his accomplice were told by the chief when rounded up, that Colorado Springs was going to be a "hot town" for colored residents of lawless inclination. It was said that all citizens in the colored colony would be investigated. "Daddy," said the little boy, "what is meant by the 'board of education'?" "Well, when I was a boy," said the father, "it was a heavy shingle." A PRO SCHO 1827 LE MARY'S BEAUTY SALON 1340 You St., N.W. Special MONDAY, TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY WHITES OPPOSE NAMING STREET AFTER DePRIEST DETROIT, Mich. (ANP)—Representatives of 52 white groups in Hamranck in the city council chambers last Thursday opposed the effort of colored groups to change the name of Yemens Street to DePriest Avenue. The fight for the change was made by Leonard Troutman and LeRoy White, who pointed out that these are streets in the city named in honor of almost every other nationality and that whereas Negroes, next to Poles, compose the largest population element in the community, there is no street named after any Negro hero. Polish Complaint One white man, a Pole, owner of a bottling concern, complained that if the name of Yemens Street was changed his company would lose thousands of dollars because it would be forced to scrap bottles, boxes, stationery and advertising. A compromise was effected when leaders of the white group promised to co-operate in the finding of some other street which might be named after Mr. DePriest. One of the white objectors said he opposed the naming of the street after Mr. DePriest because the latter is not a citizen of Michigan. Mr. White thereupon pointed out that neither were Pulaski or Koscausko. Fine College Pageant Draws Thousands JACKSON, Miss., (ANP)—An audience of 4,000 last week witnessed the musical pageant, "Marching On," presented by 50 students and teachers from Paine College, Augusta, Ga., in connection with the meeting here of the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church of the South. The spectacle, depicting the rise and development of the American Negro, was written by Miss Emma C. W. Gray of the Paine College faculty and was first staged at the 50th anniversary of the Georgia institution. A well known financial expert has estimated that Andrew Mellon, former Secretary of the United States Treasury, is enriched $1.10 every time the clock ticks, providing him an annual income of $60,000,000, which he receives from a fortune totaling more than $2,500,000,000, making him the world's richest man. live and learn Hi—De—Ho—Everybody!

Nice team work of the battalion caused the honor to be given them. Armstrong captured the Regimental contest under the superior direction of Lieutenant Raymond Hawkins.

Nellie W. asked her bozo, Walter Muse, for a treat at the battalion drill. And he refused. What a-man? Thela Hawkins of Dunbar wore Cardozo and Armstrong colors at the drill too.

EDELIN This is the second of a series of out- standing women who are graduates of Howard University and members of the Howard Women's Club. MRS. ETHEL HARRI GRUBBS Exceptional executive ability has governed not only the vocation, but the avocation of this well known educator and club woman. A Washingtonian, and a Howardite of '15, Mrs. Grubbs has received a master's degree in the teaching of mathematics, and a diploma for supervisor of mathematics in secondary schools, from Teachers' College, Columbia University. Subsequent study carried her to Berlin, where in the summer of 1928 she received a language certificate from the Institute for Foreigners at the University of Berlin. That school year, on a foreign fellowship granted by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, she devoted her study to pure mathematics. During the six weeks recess between terms, Mrs. Grubbs visited friends in Vienna, Paris and London, and sat for her portrait done in oil by Dommscheid, a well known artist of Berlin. Mrs. Grubbs allowed the public to share her year abroad in "German Education As I Saw It," an article appearing in the College Alumnae Journal of 1931. In 1917 Mrs. Grubbs was appointed teacher of mathematics and physics at the Fredericksburg Normal and Industrial Institute, a position which she held until 1919 when she became teacher of mathematics at the Peabody High School, Petersburg, Va. After teaching in the Washington public schools from 1923, she was promoted to head of the department of mathematics in the junior and senior high schools, divisions 10-13. From 1930 to 1932, she was a member of the board of examiners for Divisions 10-13. If executive positions form the main trend of Mrs. Grubbs's life, variety in those positions is certainly second. She has not only been president of the Xi Omega Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority since 1932, but is now representing that organization on the National Recovery Committee. The local College Alumnae Club has nothing but praise for her efficient handling of its monies in the capacity of treasurer since 1931. The General Alumni Association of Howard University receives her contributions in the position of secretary, while the D.C. Howard Women's Club claims her as a charter member and vice president. Although in December 1980 she was married to William E. Grubbss, principal of public school No. 24 Indianapolis, Indiana, she still retains her position as head of the department of mathematics, division 10-13, and may be found at her home at 751 Fairmont Street Northwest.

For the Chewers of Gum (One of the most useless, and disagreeable habits, is that of chewing gum. It is very annoying to those who have to listen to you who chew. The following is a reprint of a story that appeared some time ago in the "Armstrong Torch"—Ed.) A GUMMY ESSAY One day last week, after I had finished my lunch, I put one of my indispensable sticks of chewing-gum in my mouth and began to chew. The fifth hour bell rang, and, as I was going down the hall I stopped a moment to say something to a teacher. But I didn't get very far, for the teacher interrupted me: "What's that you have in your mouth—chewing-gum? How can you stand that big wad ir. your mouth?" she asked. "You ought to see yourself." As I journeyed on, still chewing, I wondered why some people, especially teachers, did not like chewing gum. Sitting at a desk writing part of my homework, and unconsciously chewing my gum, I was startled to hear someone say: "What are you doing? Chewing gum?" "Yes, you are." I "Do you mean to tell me you are sitting up in my room chewing gum? Have you ever stopped to think how ugly you look chewing gum? Don't you know that your whole face looks very ugly when you are chewing? Moreover, school] of all places is not the place for gum chewing. You should wait at least until you are in the privacy of your own room." I fidgeted in my chair and inwardly wondered when the lecture was going to end. It made me feel ashamed and little, so that I was only too glad to deposit it in the waste basket. And I wondered if chewing-gum was really worth my pennies. I thought about it so much that BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Dunbar High School's Best Essayists Courtesy of the Dunbar Observer. Curtesy of the Washington Post. FRANCIS DATCHER, WILLIAM LEWIS and BLANCHE SCOTT were Dunbar finalists in a city-wide essay contest held in this city recently. when I went to sleep, the first thing that grabbed me, was a ferocious stick of chewing-gun. Then chewing-gum men began to descend upon me from all directions, wielding gummy clubs and spears. Screaming, I pulled myself free and ran toward a dense forest intending to lose myself therein. But as my feet touched the ground, to my horror, I found it to be a great mass of sticky black gum. The chewing-gum men drew closer, and screaming for help, I grabbed at a tree limb . . . and it too was gummy. Then the chewing-gum men fell upon me, and I sank down, down, down, and was about to be swallowed up in the black gum when I opened my eyes and found myself in . . . bed. Shuddering, I resolved, no more chewing gum for me. But my punishment was not complete, for, as I sat in class next day, trying to concentrate upon my lesson, I heard chew, gulp, smack, smack, gulp, and all kinds of guttural sounds pouring in my ear. I turned around with much disgust to find one of my classmates chewing gum at a rate of speed that would put to shame the speed of a high powdere motor. Her expression as she opened and closed her lips and exposed her teeth and gum with machine-like regularity, appeared suddenly to me to be menacing and almost hideous, so that I instinctively drew back. I longed to clap my hands over my ears and plaster my girl friend's mouth up with a piece of that gum, but I managed to live through that period with hope that I would neither see nor hear any more chewing that day.

Another student turned around to say something, and I felt myself fainting away, for he was chewing gum. "What is the matter? You look kind of faint," he said. With an effort I pulled myself together and answered, "Oh, nothing." But I resolved then and there "never no" chewing-gum for me again. I had learned my lesson; I realized how through my careless gum-chewing habit I had been making myself disgusting and annoying to those around me.

Learning of the defection a fortnight before the convention, the Y.W.C.A. notified every person who planned to attend the gather- CHICAGO.—I read an expression the other day from Maestro Johnny Green, the young whites leader whose band is heard with Ruth Etting which I want to pass along to some of our colored band leaders. He said he attributed his success to unremitting study and "precision in expression." As many clever well trained fellows as are filtering into our bands now, there is no reason why we should not produce music as good as the best, not necessarily because, the men are collegians, but because they have trained faculties and are willing to work. Green said, "Every group in the band must act as a precise unit. The rest depends upon the conductor and hard gruelling practice upon the part of the players who must even breathe in unison." That reminds me of something Mr. Numa P. G. Adams told me once about his orchestral days. Dr. Chalres Cook, who holds a Ph.D. in music now and is arranger for the R.K.O. people in New York, conducted a band which used to play at the old White City in Chicago William L. Dawson, now director of the Tuskegee Choir, was a member, so was the popular Chicago dentist, Dr. William Giles, as well as Dr. Adams, who now is dean of Howard Medical School. All of them were students, using the orchestra to make a living and to further their studies, but they made their music a major objective. "Negro players are apt to play ad lib," the doctor said. "A chap will lift his horn and create some of the most unusual effects you ever heard, marvelous things, but he probably can never repeat them with any degree of certainty, because he does not commit them to paper. These white fellows study, know what they are doing and the result is uniform presentation, night after night." LeRoy Smith and his "sensationally successful and internationally famous "Connie's Hot Chocolates" orchestra, with its accompanying show, including 36 people, is being featured in a country wide tour of ballrooms. This group, well known over the ether, has had a splendid record, four years at Connie's Inn, two at the Hotel Walton Roof, Philadelphia, and a year at the Million Dollar Gateway Casino, Atlantic City. Smith is a superb musician who brings an excellent musical education and understanding of music values to his interpretation of modern music. He prides himself upon playing sweet syncopation yet retaining the best features of the savage rhythms which are directly responsible for the extreme popularity of Negro music. * * * Radio Guide, national radio weekly magazine, is conducting this week the story of how and why a colored evangelist has whites converts as well as colored. The evangelist in question is Elder Solomon Michau, who with his congregation broadcasts every Saturday evening over the Columbia Broadcasting System. The program comes from Washington, D.C. The story is interesting and is written in a creditable manner. ```markdown ``` In the "Quotes of the Week," from C.B.S. press release, Elder Michaux is quoted as having said concerning his financial end of his church: "I don't want a stated salary because I'm not for hire, and if you ask me why, I say: 'When a man don't hire you, he can't fire you.'" Now that Cab Calloway and his boys are back from their successful European tour, they will not be on the regular broadcast for quite a while, three months at least. Resting in Harlem only one day on their arrival the boys commenced a theatre and dance tour that will carry them as far West as Kansas City. We caught the *MJB Coffee program* last Monday night over NBC from San Francisco. Much to our regret, Duke Ellington's contract for that program had expired and is replaced by Gus Arnheim and his Cocoanut Grove Orchestra. But being a good sport and acknowledging the quality of Arnheim's music, we must pass along the word that it was a swell program. While talking, about the Duke, rumors are flying out Hollywood way that ing to cancel reservations at these hotels. As a resul no Y.W.C.A. delegate or guest stopped at either the Adelphia or the Greene. At Benjamin Franklin Hotel Many of the colored delegates secured rooms at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel. They not only occupied rooms but used all of the dining rooms, the lobby and every other facility of the hotel. There was not a single instance of the slightest unpleasantness or difficulty. Members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who were present pointed to this incident as an evidence of the power strong organizations can wield to combat segregation and discrimination. Urge Anti-Lynch Passage The 2,000 delegates unanimously adopted a resolution urging President $ t_0 $ back the anti-lynching bill. The resolution was presented by Mrs. Lillian A. Alexander, member of the national public affairs committee of the Y.W.C.A. Several Southern women signed the resolution. Six widows of the war of 1912 are on the pension list. he and organization are planning on making another trip to Europe this year in September.

We received a wonderful radio treat last Saturday when we tuned in on Morton Downey's CBS studio party and heard the Four Harmonizers symcopate the airwaves. These boys are natives of Memphis. The line-up is Bill Barnes and Bob Davis, tenors; James Pugh, baritone; and Dave Pugh, bass. The hope to hear more of these lads on the air in the future. --- Do you remember a week or two ago on "The Harlem Serenade" broadcast over CBS when "Fats" Waller, entertainer de luxe, jocularly prefaced his song number, by relating that he wrote it while in jail on account of back alimony? It reminds me of an old saying that "many a truth is told in jest." Now getting down to facts, he actually wrote "his way to freedom. It appears that for $250.00 cash settlement Waller was offered his release, but he didn't have the money. So he wrote the song, his attorney took it to a music publisher who bought its rights for exactly $250 and Waller was released. The song became one of the most popular tunes of all time and netted the music publisher thousands of dollars. You remember it? "Ain't Misbehavin" is its title. --- Earl Hines and his orchestra returned to the Grand Terrace Cafe here in Chicago last Saturday night from the East. During his four months absence from the Grand Terrace and the Windy City, Hines and band have toured the south and east. Hines is also doubling this week on the stage at the Regal Theatre. The stage show consists of the Terrace revue including Valaida and hubby, Nyas (Annanias) Berry, Alma Smith and Billy Mitchell as headliners. Carol Dickerson and his band will move out and concede the band stand and WBBM-CBS radio wire to "Father Hines" and his "chillun." During Earl's absence, Edward Fox, owner of the night club, switched the broadcasting from WENR-NBC to WBBM-CBC and Earl will have his first time to dish out his theme "Deep Forest" through the airlines of Columbia. *** It is reported that Cab Calloway and boys will make their first appearance in Chicago since their successful European tour the first week in June. A New York citation commenting about Calloway on the Fleishman's Yeast hour with Rudy Vallee week before last remarked "the Calloway outfit can answer the summons of any advertiser seeking an attraction of established popularity." "Calloway is one of the name attractions of the theatrical world, and he and his aggregation of Harlem talent are standard theatrical billtoppers "Type of rhythm and production numbers created by Calloway are unique and while they are not universally liked (nothing so radical could be) they have a numerous constituency."

MORE THAN 50 NON-SKID M ADHESION TEST Gum-Dipping made it possible for Firestone to design, develop and put on the market the first successful balloon tire in 1923. This tire was the pattern used by all others and completely revolutionized the tire industry and set new standards for the automobile industry. Firestone also developed the first all rubber non-skid tire, and has always been first to give motorists the benefits of new discoveries in non-skid design, providing more traction and greater non-skid safety. For fourteen years leading race drivers have driven to victory on Firestone tires, built with Gum-Dipped high stretch cords. They have trusted their lives to Firestone Leadership as they know that the patented Firestone constructionfeaturesprovidethemwithgreater safety—longer mileage—and greater blowout protection. MORE THAN 50% MORE NON-SKID MILEAGE THE ACID TEST To be positive that rubber penetrates every cord and coats every fiber, a solution of sulphuric acid which quickly destroys cotton but not rubber, is shown it is less tuber than Firestone Gum-Dipped fibers from any other tire made. Gum-Dipped fibers withstand the acid as they are the only fibers that are insulated with rubber, minimizing friction and heat, the deadly enemy of their life.

Mrs. The Future of the Kingdom Studies in Matthew By the Rev. W. A. Thomas S. S. Lesson VIII Matt. 25:1-13 Golden Text—The Kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.—Rev. 11:15. Introduction The subject of this lesson intends for us to know that there is a future work for the Church to accomplish after it has been resurrected and united to her head the Lord Jesus Christ; and the Golden Text makes it plain by stating that it is to conquer and subdue the worldly kingdoms who are under the rule of Satan, binding Satan, casting out all evil until these worldly kingdoms shall all become the Kindgoms of our Lord and His Christ. (Dan. 7:26-27.) (Rev. 20:6.) Jesus' Story of the Ten Virgins (Vs. 1-5) These five verses say that the church is likened unto ten Virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the Bridegroom; this is a type of the church having the word of God (Lamp) and going forth to meet Jesus the Bridegroom. But some of those Virgins were foolish, and some wise, the foolish were unwise to this extent that while they had the lamp or light of the word they failed to receive the Holy Spirit (of which the oil is a type) to lead and guide them in the way, that they would be ready when the Bridegroom comes. But the wise took oil (the Holy Spirit) in their vessels, with their lamps—the word of God—(Ps. 119:105.) While he tarried they all slumbered and slent. The Arrival of the Bridegroom (Vs. 6-9) While Jesus is absent preparing the mansions (those glorified bodies) which he promised to bring with him when he comes. In the previous chapter from the 42 to the 51 verses there is a description of the condition that the church will be in when he comes, and the cry is given that he is present.

Gray, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Seventeenth and P Street, Northwest, will preside on Sunday household of faith, and he will make him ruler over all of his goods, but the unwise, because he delayeth the coming, as he thinks not having watched as the Lord told him to do; is mixed up in all kinds of worldly affairs, as well as mixed doctrines of the word of God so much so that they are as people who have eaten and drunken until they are drunk from the effect. He will cut them off from the high calling which the wise Virgins will receive. The word, then, expresses the idea of the church in that condition. Also divided into two classes, wise and foolish Virgins. All these Virgins trimmed their lamps, that is began to study the word to find out if they were prepared to go to the wedding feast, but the unwise found their lamps were going out, needed oil (the Holy Spirit) and their vessels were empty, because they had neglected to get it when they had the opportunity. The Final Issue of the Story (Vs. 10-13.) They asked the wise to give us of your oil. The wise answers, not so; lest there be not enough for us and you, but go ye rather to them sell, and buy for yourselves. Go to him who gave us the Oil (Holy Spirit) and ask, who has promised to give them the Holy Spirit if they ask for it. (Lu, 11:13.) While they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in to the marriage; and the door was shut. The foolish came after the door was shut, not that these foolish were lost, but that they failed to be ready to receive the great prize of immortality, eternal life, when the bridegroom came, and the Bible states they were turned back to go through the great tribulation that would come upon the earth, and John said in the seventh chapter of Rev. 9 verse that he saw a multitude that no man could number who had washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb come out of great tribulation and stand before the throne having palms of victory in their hands.

NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Wilberforce University Offers Ministers Free Holy Land Trips Vital Statistics A Delightful Drive Out Pennsylvania Avenue, Southeast. Ten Minutes' Drive From the Nation's Capital. FAMILY LOTS SOLD ON UNUSUALLY LOW TERMS Perpetual Care Perpetual Charter By ERIC E. L. HERCULES WILBERFORCE, Ohio. — Every minister ought to visit the Holy Land sometime in his life. The inspiration of such a visit is of inestimable value, both spiritually and intellectually. In order to encourage visits to the Holy Land, Wilberforce University will offer free trips on the following conditions: 1. The pastor in the First Educational District (i.e., First, Third, Fourth and Thirteenth Episcopal District) who pays in the largest amount over his assessment for Wilberforce by 10 o'clock Commencement Day, June 14, 1934, a trip to the Holy Land, with all expenses paid from New York City and return. 2. The bishop whose district brings the largest amount over his Episcopal district assessment by Commencement Day, June 14, 1934, 9 a.m., a trip to the Holy Land, with all expenses paid from New York City and return. 3. Pastors who are not assessed may enter and the ones who raise the highest amount over $500 and pay in the same by the above mentioned time will be given a trip to the Holy Land the same as the other pastors and bishops. This applies to any pastor outside the First Educational District, or any laymen or pastor of another denomination. 4. Any bishop in whose district ten churches participate separately who raise $2,500, will get a free trip. Under this plan we hope to have a large party go to the Holy Land. All persons who give one dollar or more are entitled to have their names enrolled in "The Book of a Million Names." Pastors who can fill out a sheet of the book for their churches may secure the same by applying to the university.

The Howard letter men are giving a dance, Saturday night, to finish off a glorious day after the track meet. All letter men were permitted to enter free. But come anyway and bring your love. "Quality Street" is still being rehearsed. I bet it's going to be good, so don't miss it, please. And the freshman prom still dangles in the air. Will it be or will it not be? We're waiting for the fifteenth to pass. Good old Howard and Miner will open their portals and let us pass out for good in two or three weeks. And shall we rejice! What's the idea of sending twenty-some girls down to the Interior Department to usher for the Convention on the Negro Education Convention? I hear Juanna Evans is wearing Tiny Bradshaw's bracelet. Is this true? And I have heard a lot more to this Bradshaw affair. Is it true she crashed a party to see him? Why was she angry when she left? Did I see G. B. wearing a black swagger coat home that belongs to a boy who lives in Clark Hall and who has the cutest gray eyes? Who was that girl I saw hanging on your arm Thursday night about 2 o'clock, Bill Blake? I was around and about and I saw you with this tall, brown-skin, plump maiden wearing a white dress and a black coat. Come, now, confess, or must we ask Miner Teachers about her? So Lucille Wilson spent the weekend with "Jene" and "John" at the beach. Have a good time? I heard you did. Why is it that Highland Beach attracts even in the winter? But imagine the moon still shines in the winter. Our friend Richard Ware has lost his mother. Allow me to present my condolences. Why is it that C. F. and N. M. are no longer friendly, or have you noticed it? It's just a polite "hello" now. And Doris Jones was seen with her one and only last week. He's nice. A certain girl is seen wondering why N. W. no longer likes her. She can't understand. That's what I overheard her telling her best friend. Some miss is nuts over Willie Wynne. But I ask her, who isn't? who isn't. Meridian Park is getting back its magnetism now that she is coming. And maybe I didn't see Eddie Evans up there one balmy night last week with a cute miss. Now, now, Eddie! Annie Todd is still riding home. REV. BROOKS SAYS --- (Continued from page 11) achievement. He began his crusade against prejudice and discrimination with logic and right on his side, believing that the vehement lash of truth could either shame or frighten his oppressors into doing justice. Since that method has failed, our good friend has no other means to employ. In other words, he used a false premise as the basis for his coveted solution. If I am correct, a re-statement of his position is simply this, justice and fair-play can be forced from reluctant and depraved America, if sufficient pressure is brought to bear. The pressure may be economic, political or international influence. At last he seems to realize that it is impossible to bring about the fulfillment of this cherished dream, and of course, there is only one of two things to do, viz., quit fighting or change his method of fighting. I do not believe he has quit, but has simply modified his method. Heart Must Be Changed I believe with Dr. DuBois, that race prejudice is one of the most subtle and destructive forces in human society. But I do not believe that it can be conquered by any form of pressure from without. Since it is an inner conviction, an attitude of mind and heart, by the same token, it must be changed by an inner compulsion of spirit. In other words, prejudice is never destroyed until one's inner self is changed. Because of outer circumstances or conditions, one may be compelled to accord your courtesy or privilege, but unless the heart is changed, the inner attitude remains the same, and will revert to type at the first opportunity. The passing of anti-lync laws, or state right bills are of value only so far as they serve to be protective measures. They in themselves $ \mathrm{d}_{0} $ not have the creative power to produce the desired results. The only hope is, that while under the period of toleration or fear, there may be developed a finer social attitude and appreciation. Only One Way My contention is, therefore, that race prejudice can only be conquered by the spirit of brotherhood. Until the white man believes deep down in his heart that the black man is his brother, we will continue to have this whole system of racial discrimination and antagonism, however hard we may work to the contrary. The interracial groups throughout the nation have done and are doing a splendid work toward interracial goodwill. Also much can be done in our schools, where there are bi-racial faculties, if it is definitely certain that the white members of the faculty have, without reservations, the spirit of brotherhood, as well as great intelligence. Then, too, the private interracial contacts that are being made through clubs, alumni groups, etc., can also prove to be a leavening process in the spirit of better understanding. Equal Advantages Finally, what can the Negro do, and keep his self respect, in the face of the present situation? Shall he fight segregation in all of its forms without compromise? Or, shall he insist upon and bring as much pressure to bear as possible to secure equal opportunities and equal protection, although separate and distinct racially? To follow the first course of action that we would discourage, if not deliberately seek to destroy, all that is primarily for and by Negroes. But in the second instnace, it means that we would use whatever advantages we possess and constantly insist that we be given equal advantages of all other FIFTEEN Anti-War Demonstration Planned by D.C. Youths National Youth Day will be celebrated here by a conference of youths at 212 H Street, Northwest, Sunday at 2 p.m. The climax of the celebration will be reached with a large number of youths boarding trucks for Baltimore to participate in a parade on the waterfront there. Other activities include various sort contests. National Youth Day is the traditional anti-war, anti-facist day of the youth. Baltimore was chosen as a Mecca because of the struggles of the seaman there to maintain the administration of their relief. Recently, a group of them included many colored, walked here from Baltimore to protest the transfer of the supervision of relief funds. 24 A. and T. College Students Visit Howard A group of students from the Agricultural and Technical College, Greensboro, N.C., were recent visitors at Howard University. Their particular interest was the new School of Engineering and Architecture. The young men, 24 in number, were under the direction of Floyd A. Mayfield ('30 Arch.) dean of men at the North Carolina institution. The engineering students of Howard University served as guides through the different laboratories and drafting rooms, where the visitors had an opportunity to witness technical demonstrations of various kinds. Hold Record as Teacher SALISBURY, N.C.—Prof. W.H. Hannum shown above is closing his thirty-third year as a member of the faculty of Livingstone College. He is the oldest member in point of service. He came to Livingstone in 1901 as principal of the Normal School and in 1916 became professor of mathematics. Prof. Hannum earned his degrees at Maryville College, Maryville, Tenn. and Columbia University. that the day would finally come when all racial lines would be blotted out, and that we become one people working together with one object and one purpose. The latter view seems to be the only sane strategy that the Negro can afford to use. To carry out the first to its logical conclusion would be absurd and suicidal. Loss or Gain? A few years ago in the District of Columbia, the government decided t, build, and actually started the work on two bathing beaches, one for white people and one for colored people. We raised such a protest that both projects were abandoned, and neither group got a bathing beach. The question is raised, did we lose more than we gained? The principle of segregation was defeated in this particular instance, but one hundred and thirty-two thousand Negroes lost the advantages that a public beach had to offer. Again, Washington has, perhaps, one of the most efficient school systems in the country, but it is a segregated system. The Dunbar High School has to its credit a very large number of honor graduates from Eastern colleges, all out of proportion to its size. Would that still hold true if it were a mixed school? We have employed here in our public schools more than a thousand colored officers and teachers. To prove that we are loyal to our race, shuld we deliberately seek to destroy the dual system we have, and insist that there be only a single system of school instruction? Still again, we have a Washington Housing Committee, with three colored members and eleven white members. All of us are very much interested in seeing the alleys destroyed and better housing facilities provided for the people of the District. Cites Ri It has been definitely planned by the committee that there shall be two areas developed, one for colored people and one for white people. All three of the Negro representatives on the committee are members of and ardent workers for the N.A.A.C.P. Each of them stands ready to challenge discrimination and injustice anywhere, but there has been no protest by any one of the colored members of the committee against these proposed separate housing units, because we are not willing to run the risk of standing in the way of our people, who now live in the alleys under describable conditions, of having decent houses to live in. ```markdown ``` Furthermore, the Negro church, the most successful institution that he has yet created, is in direct opposition to this principle of unity and co-operation. Shall we discourage our churches and seek to destroy them, or shall we seek to make them the kind of institutions that we believe the churches ought to be, with the ardent hope that some day our brother in white may catch the right spirit and join with us in evolving a single institution that will represent the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man? Kind of Strategy In my opinion, this is the kind of strategy that our people ought to pursue, retaining of course all times our self-respect, but nevertheless seeking to bring to pass that glorious day of which Robert Burns sang: "For a' that and a' that, It's coming yet, for a' that.

The score was 8-6. The Clerks, encouraged by the return of Captain Bull Harris, went into an early lead behind the pitch in gof Johnson. The latter, however, was injured on sliding into third base during one of the early innings, and was forced to retire in favor of Shelton, who had pitched against Armstrong only two days before. A Dunbar rally in the closing inning netted the Post two rallies, but fell an equal number short of tying the score. Big Louis Caffain, playing his first game for the Purple and White, connected for a triple and single. Two misses in the outfield, however, marred his defensive play. Coach Jack Young suffered his second casualty loss of the season when Johnson went out with a twisted wrist.

The final count was 11 to 9, the winners being unable to do any further damage to the Tree hurling offerings. Free-hitting marked the contest, there being 32 bingles divided between the two teams. Of this total, the losers were on the better end, their batters connecting safely 19 times. Four triples and five doubles were among the safeties. Young, starting pitcher for the Southwest outfit, was the victim of the brunt of the winning attack. Only one-third inning was accredited to him in his starting role. Banks his successor, did little better in this opening frame, but from that point on was extremely puzzling to the Anacostia batters. McBrier's triple, double and two singles were the best individual efforts of the day, while Moten and Ball, with three hits apiece, showed the way to the offensive threats of the winners.

Rumor Has Howard Coaching Prospects Down to 2 Men Ex-Wilberforce Mentor and Former Bison Coach Named Likely Successors to Tom Verdell; Graves Visitor in City Following Resignation from Ohio Post Rumors were rife here this week that Harry C. Graves, head football coach at Wilberforce University, who resigned his post last week, would be the next grid mentor at Howard University, succeeding Thomas Verdell, former Northwestern University grid star, who was dismissed from the local school in January. Coach Graves resigned his position at Wilberforce last week and was reported to be heading for Washington. It was learned that he was in the city and reports became widely circulated that he would be named for the Bison post-Graves also resigned his post at Wilberforce last year, but later reconsidered his action and served throughout the year. He could not be reached for a statement. South Atlantic H.S.C. News By P. L. JACOBS Spring activity in the Conference The Howard grid post has been open since the first of February, when Coach Verdell, who guided the destinies of the Blue and White gridders for five years, was let out. Verdell has since been reported hired to assist newly-selected Coach Jefferson, former Bluesfield Institute coach, with his new position as head coach at Virginia State College. Coach Graves' name was known to be among the leading candidates being considered for the post by the Howard University Board of Athletic Control. Although the Board is slated to meet soon, the exact date could not be ascertained as Howard University athletic heads were out of the city attending the track and field meet at Hampton. The name of Dr. Charles West, former Washington and Jefferson University grid star, who coached the Bison eleven in 1928, was also rumored to be gaining much favor among members of the Howard ON Council of Board confirmation of this was forthcoming, however.

The score was 9-1. The big Georgetown righthander favored by the absence of some of the Tiger regulars, went the route, allowing one hit, that a single by Johnson, Colesville third baseman.

While McKinnon was putting up his superb exhibition of mound work, his cronies were touching up the offerings of Salty Johnson for a total of 10 safeties good for their nine gallies.

The game marked the initial start for Clyde Williams, youthful southpaw and former ace of the Dunbarn High School pitching staff, on the mound for the 'Dales. Williams retired in favor of Smoke Levi when it was discovered that the Buccaneer line-up consisted of eight right-handed batters. Levi toiled in mid-season form, holding the opposition in check and fanning 12 during his stay on the hill. In the ninth, the 'Dale speed-ball artist retired the side via strike-outs. The memorable sixth inning injury was begun by Red Haywood, Hillsdale third baseman, and ended by him. It was featured by timely hitting and smart base-running on the part of the upper half of the winners' batting order.

Six worthy of consideration before the present campaign spends itself. The Washington Black Sox, the newest local diamond aggregation, appears to be the farthest advanced of the sextet. With their combination of former LeDroit Tiger and Huntsville Giant baseball players, under the leadership of George Ford, erstwhile all-round diamond performer, the dark-horsed clan threatens trouble to all the older nines operating in and around the capital. Meanwhile the LeDroit Tigers, with several additions to fill the gaps left by the departures of players who joined the ranks of the Black Sox, are going along steadily with Lefty George Smith at the helm. The Georgetown Athletes opened their season officially with a decisive 9-1 decision over the Colesville Tigers. The latter, winners of the Montgomery County championship last year, have not impressed thus far, but they can be relied on to give a good account of themselves are the season is much older. The Marylanders have an uncanny knack of arousing themselves with the arrival of the warmer weather. The Hillsdales, though losers of an unimportant game to the Armstrong High School team, last week, have vindicated themselves with trimming dealt to opponents in their first two contests.

CC Close Relay Events All relay events were closely contested. The 880 yard high school relay, which was run again this time was won by Booker T. Washington High School of Atlanta, Ga.; Booker Washington High School of Dallas, second, Tuskegee Institute High third, and David T. Howard Junior High, Atlanta, Ga.; fourth. A new record of 1 minute 32.2 seconds was established in this event. This team also won the Medley High School Relay with Tuskegee Institute High second; Snow Hill Institute, third, and David T. Howard fourth. The outstanding college team were the fleet runners brought to the relays by Sam Taylor from Prairie View State College, Prairie View, Texas. This team set a new record in the 820-yard College Relay of 1 minute 30.2 seconds and a new record in the Mile College Relay of 3 minutes 28.5 seconds and won the 440-yard College Relay over one of the fastest fields ever entered at the relays in this event. Tuskegee was able to win only one major relay championship, setting a new record in the 2-mile College Relay of 8 minutes 18.4 seconds. Probably the most outstanding high school team entered were the brilliant runners from Booker T. Washington High School of Dallas, Texas, coached by A. W. Erashear. These youngsters set a new record of 44.1 seconds in the 440 yard High School Relay and a record of three minutes 34.4 seconds in the mile relay and were in the 880 yard relay. Edgar Lee Outstanding as Union Trackmen Win Open Meet Edgar Lee Outstanding as Union Trackmen Win Open Meet Former Armstrong High School Lad Collaborates With Jones to Capture High Point Trophy for Virginia Alma Mater By LAWRENCE I. BROCKENBURY HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—Virginia Union University, largely through the efforts of Edgar Lee and Howard Jones, walked away with the W. B. Ziff High Point Trophy at the sixteenth annual track and field meet held here last Saturday. Hampton trailed closely behind with 32 points; St. Paul, 28; Howard, 22; Virginia State, 19½; Lincoln, 14; Morgan, 11; Shaw, 4; Miner Teacher's College, 3½; A.& T., 3; Cheyney, 2. In the scholastic division Borden-town again capped honors with a total of 54 points. Phenix of Hampton was second with 25. Douglass of Baltimore scored 14; Mary Potter of Oxford, N.C., 13; Washington of Raleigh, 5; Noreum of Portsmouth, 2. Collegiate EVENTS TRACK EVENTS 100-YARD DASH — Scurry (Howard), Parker (Lincoln), Opening (A.& T.), Wash (Lincoln), Time, 9.8 seconds. 120-YARD DASH — Scurry (Howard), William (Howard), William (Union), Fields (St. Paul), Time, 21.7 seconds. 120-YARD HIGH HURDLES — Jones (Union), Allen (Union), Johnson (Hamp- Contrary to expectations only a few records were broken. In the collegiate division, Scurry, of Howard, shattered the marks for both the 100- and 220-yard dashes, being clocked at 9.8 and 21.7. There is a question about these records since a slight wind was favoring the sprinters. Simpson, of Morgan, tossed the shot 42 feet 8 eight inches to better the old mark by two feet. Two Phoenix High School boys made the only new records in their division. Smoky Joe Dismond broke his own record by tossing the 12-pound shot 43 feet 5½ inches. Jimmy Boyd elcised Shagg Courtney's mark of 5 feet 11 inches in the high jump by going over the bar at 6 feet 1 inch. The mile run, in which there was expected to be a new record, turned out to be thrilling but was run in comparatively slow time. The predicted duel between Lee, of Union, and Lipscombe, of Hampton, started soon after the gun. Lee broke into the lead and Paige, of Hampton, overtook him at the 220 mark. Lipscombe picked Lee up and came in five yards in the lead, clocked at 57 seconds. Lipscombe was still in the lead at the end of the second lap. His time at the end of the first half was 2:03. On the third lap was a brilliant battle with the Pirate ace holding a 20-yard lead. Near the end of the lap Lee began closing the gap. The first two fast quarters began to show upon Lipscombe and he weakened. Lee passed him 30 yards from the finish. The time was 4:35 Howard Lad Dash Winner Both the 100- and 220-yard dashes were taken by Scurry, of Howard. Parker, of Lincoln; Copeing, of A&T.; and Ward, of Lincoln were pushing him all the way in the 100. The 200 was even more exciting. Berry Williams, of Howard football fame, was on the heels of his mate. Lil Gut Williams, of Union, ran a close third; and Fields, of St. Paul, was fourth. Lincoln had an easy time in the mile relay, the team of Ward, Still, Parker and Moultrie negotiating the distance in 3:29. Howard, with a team that might have given Lincoln plenty of trouble, was disqualified by Starter Howard Drew when Stratton broke once too often. Mauling the Maple S With "RUNWAY" CLAYTOR All teams in the Capital City League have only one more match to go. Everything is practically over now, except the awarding of trophies. It is unlikely that any changes in the positions of the first three teams will take place as a result of these matches. In the first instance, Cosmopolitans need only one more win to sew up the number one position. It is possible, of course, but not probable, that A.G.O. will trick them out of the entire set. These champs, as you know, pulled some weird antics at crucial moments. The Ambassadors and Freedmen's Hospital, second and third place teams, respectively, are to lock horns in ringing down the curtain. It should prove to be a bang-up affair. Either team is capable of putting on a pin-punishing extravaganza. The result of this match, in all probability, may be a life-saver to the Cosmopolitans. Now let's see what happened last week.

Captain James Jones, of Liberty Loan, established something of a league record when he manued out 11 spares during the set. According to the records of the league's official scorer (a distinction thrust upon your informant) the previous record was nine spares in a set, held jointly by a number of players, a few of whom have duplicated the act several times. While the foregoing events were taking place, Freedmen's Hospital was waging a losing fight against A.G.O., who swept the series. The reversal of form shown by the Medies in this match is unusual. It appears that as Capt. George Adams goes, so goes the team. During this match he rolled two of the lowest games charged to him this season. Dr. Adams is one of the most consistent bowlers in the league. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1934 Suburban B. S. Hurler in Perfect Game, Wins 12-0 The first no-hit, no-run game of the season was chalked up to the credit of Elliott Arnette, ace of the Suburban Black Sox, when they subdued the Fairmont Heights A.C. team, 12-0, on the Rajah-DePreist diamond last Sunday evening. Only 27 batters faced Arnette, none of whom reached first base. Eighteen opponents were struck out by Arnette during his nine-inning term, the remaining nine Heightsmen being taken care of by the faultless fielding of his mates. While all this was going on the Black Sox were touching up the offerings of three Fairmont hurlers for a total of 19 hits. FAIRMONT HTS.

Hampton Completes Plans For Coaching School HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—For a number of years the Hampton Institute authorities have been considering the possibilities of conducting a coaching school. The purpose of such a school is to reach a large number of coaches in both high schools and colleges who find it difficult to attend some of the bigger coaching schools in the country because of the expense connected with them. Andrew Kerr, of Colgate University, who last year conducted more coaching schools than any other man in the country, has been secured to give the football course. It is the plan to bring the expense within the reach of everyone, so that in many cases ti will be possible for captains of teams to accompany their coaches. The course will consist of lectures on demonstrations of the latest methods and techniques in coaching. Since the course will be given before the that in many cases it will be possible for those attending to live in the school dormitories and to enjoy all conveniences offered by Hampton. Marks Expected to Fall in Annual C.I.A.A. Track and Field Games Officials Predict Warm Competition in Conference Championships Slated for Howard Stadium This Week; Bison Sprinters Look Good NACHMAN REPORTS 128% Increase in Business April,1934,Over April,1933 Several track and field records of the C.I.A.A. are expected to go by the boards, Saturday, in the C.I.A.A. meet scheduled for Howard University Stadium. LeRoy Scurry, Howard sprint ace, and Barry Williams, another Bison sprint star, are expected to again vie for first honors in the sprints as they did Saturday at Hampton when Scurry clipped one-tenth of a second from the century mark established by Sterling, of Morgan, in 1930. Scurry skirted the distance in 9.8 seconds. The mark in the 220-yard dash is also expected to be broken following the spectacular race between Scurry and Williams at Hampton, when Scurry broke the record with a race of 21.5 seconds. The old record was held by Cooke, of Virginia Union, and was made in 1923. Morgan Man In Shot Simpson, of Morgan, is expected to send another record in the 16-pound shot put. At Hampton, Simpson made a longer distance than the record in his toss of 42 feet 8 inches. The record is credited to Fry, of Lincoln, who in 1933 made the distance of 40 feet 7% inches. One-Man Team Borican, of Virginia State, is pitted against Edgar Lee, distance star of Virginia Union, in the mile run. In the half mile he is scheduled to run against Jenkins, also of Virginia Union. In both of these events State's one-man team is expected to furnish plenty of record time competition. He is entered also in the javelin throw, the quarter mile, mile relay, and the high jump.

We assure complete satisfaction and a lasting desire to please. 1 inch is expected to be topped by H. Jones, of Virginia Union, who lacked only one inch of the record in winning the event at Hampton. Also in this event will be Troupe, of Morgan, who gave a good account of himself. Adding to the high school events will be the entrance of two lads from the Glendale High School, of Glendale, Ohio. Their coach has notified athletic officials at Howard that these youngsters would be entered in this meet. They have made enviable records in track events in Ohio. To Award Four Places For the first time in the association four places will be awarded in each of the events and the scoring will be on the 5-3-2-1 basis. This method of scoring is an innovation in the association track and field meets, according to officials at the school. Fourteen Colleges Entered On Tuesday, 14 colleges had already entered athletes with several more expected before the entries close on Wednesday. Among those already entered are Wilberforce, Tuskegee, St. Augustine, St. Paul, Morgan, Hampton, Lincoln, Virginia Union, Virginia State, Cheyney, North Carolina A. and T., Bowie, Miner Teachers, and Clark University.

'FORCE CONTINUES WINNING PACE WILBERFORCE, Ohio (Special to The Tribune)—With McGinnis, a converted catcher on the mound, the Wilberforce University baseball team slugged their way to a decisive 12-3 triumph over the Defiance nine, here last Thursday. Percy (Runt) White, star second baseman from Washington, led the batters with five hits, including two triples and a double. McGinnis showed up well on the mound for the winners, giving up seven hits and fanning 12. One run in each of the first three innings was the total damage of the alien batters. The 'Force flinger also helped himself to three triples and a single. Captain Ricks, and Cook made four of the seven hits between them for the losing outfit. SEVENTEEN POETS TRIUMPH IN S.A.H.S.A.C.

HOWARD THEATRE Week Beginning Friday, May 18th SCREEN FEATURE 1934 Queen of Screen Ford-Marshall & Jones John Mason & Ferdi Robinson Toy Wing--Great Chinese Novelty Act And Company of 40 Midnite Show Saturday with Reserved Seats EIGHTEEN SHOPPING Wherein the Tribune By SA :-:Raphael:-: Review Timely, interesting and rich in entertainment quality, "Coming Out Party," Fox Film's latest release, which played the Raphael during the week closing, proved to be a daringly and realistic expose of the dignified debutante racket. Jesse L. Lasky, producer, has gone to the society pages for his material, and has produced a lavish film that is packed with laughs, romance, gayety and music. Going behind the scenes, the film depicts the petty hates and desires of debutantes and their ambitious, social climbing mothers. Conniving social secretaries, ambitious band leaders, and "stages" trying to "crash" coming out parties, are few of the choice morsels served. Frances Dee and Gene Raymond, who supply the romantic interest, are both attractive and able in their roles. Alison Skipworth, Nigel Bruce and Harry Green are excellent in their allotted characterizations. Insisting that the large number STRAND 2 Blocks from Subway Garden DEANWOOD D.C. Lincoln, 1093 of requests he has had from his patrons for the showing of "Wonder Bay," is the real reason behind his bringing the Al Jolson vehicle to the Ninth Street picture-mart for the coming week, beginning Saturday, so sayeth Manager Ed Harris. "Wonder Bar," which made such a hit at another of the local theatres recently, is being brought to Manager Harris's house at reduced prices. The latter claims that it is because of the previous showing that he is determined not to ask the usual admission price. The photoplay, containing beautiful scenes, gorgeous girls, catchy musical hits and other forms of varied entertainment, stars a well-filled cast. In it are Dolores Del Rio, Kay Francis, Louise Fazenda, Guy Kibbee, Edward Everett Horton, Dick Powell, Ricardo Cortez, Fifi D'Orysay, and a host of others. I saw "Wonder Bar" before and would advise that if you didn't, do. ::-Booker T.::- "Let's Fall In Love"—I'm talking about the song—is a tuneful hit, and the picture of the same name, in which yours truly heard it so well done strikes this contemporary as a hit also. I liked "Let's Fall In Love" at the Booker T., although I'm past that stage myself—well ain't I getting my "Annie Oakleys" for saying I like pictures. I like Edmund Lowe, and I like Miriam Jordan, and I like Ann Sothern, and I like Gregory Ratoff, and therefore all that had to be done was to give them some sort of reasonable excuse for marching across the screen at the little theatre, and I'd have to like the excuse Simple, isn't it? There, now—you've, guessed it, I didn't see it—yet. Preview The lengths to which a half-mad czar went to torment his beautiful young consort are telling depicted in "Catherine the Great," which will beshown at the Booker T Theatre for one week beginning Friday. Leaving her to weep and wait alone throughout their wedding night, while he keeps an engagement at his hunting lodge with one of the court beauties, is one of the lesser cruelties Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in the role of Peter III, inflicts upon Elizabeth Bergner who plays his timid little bride. "Catherine the Great," is a motion picture of rare distinction from Alexander Korda the creator of "Henry VIII."

His Royal Hi-D-Hiness, the crown prince of rhythm, king of jazz, and exalted ruler of yell took the Seventh and T Streets house's patrons (as many white as colored) by the ears and led them around in circles. Eight weeks abroad, providing dance and concert music for the regaled heads and laymen of England, France, Holland, Belgium and Scotland, have served to widen that infectious smile, louden that explosive voice and exaggerate that nonchalant swagger. His scores include "Gent From Harlem," "Zazoo, Zazoo," a Calloway arrangement of "Margie," "Minnie the Moocher," and "Harlem Camp Meeting." Surrounding Calloway is a fast revue composed of Elmer Turner, stellar female tap artist, the Five Perculators, dance team; Foster and Batie, crack comedy pair; and Edna Harris, singer extraordinaire. A light romance which involves the difficulties that exist between a young couple who can't seem to agree on the marriage proposition makes the cinema offering an entertaining bit. "Sally and Jimmy" is the title of this picture which stars Claire Trevor and James Dunn. The latter plays the part of a sure-fire, know-it-all gag-man, whose publicity stunts play an important part in the insertion of laugh-getting sequences in the story. Preview Beginning Friday to keep up the standard of high class entertainment, the Howard presents the queen of the screen for 1934, in her latest and no doubt her best effort, Katherine Hepburn comes in "Spitfire." More thrilling and more fascinating than ever. Miss Hepburn casts another spell on her millions of recently acquired admirers. As the witch enchantress of the Carolina hills, whose flaming love set fire to the mountains, the young star is fascinating. It is charged she stole fire from Heaven to play this "hell-cat roll." On the stage the Hot Cha Revue, featuring Ford, Marshall and Jones, Toy Wing, Mystery of the Orient, one of the greatest Chinese novel acts ever presented on any stage and John Mason and Ferdi Robinson, who furnish the comedy. Many other stars round out this revue of fifty. Tommy Myles and his orchestra are also featured on this bill. Midnight show Saturday with reserved seats. -:-Lincoln-:- If you like that sort of stuff, "Death Takes a Holiday," at the Lincoln was an entertaining effort. Cramming the picture full of action as only he can, Fredric March as "Death" who comes to earth as the house guest of a wealthy man, does his number in typical March style. Loved by women and hated and feared by men, the March portrays a prince quickened pulses on one end and stilled hearts on another. "Death Takes a Holiday" was a most unusual sort of photoplay. Its plot was far different from the usual line of themes, and was of such a nature as to give to March a characterization that opened the way for him to prove his far-reaching merits. Preview The most ambitious attempt ever made by a motion picture studio to bring an adventure story to the screen has just been completed with the filming of "Tarzan and His Mate," featuring Johnny Weissmuler as "Tarzan." This truly great picture will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre for an entire week beginning Friday. Efforts to surpass all previous jungle pictures made necessary the creation of a hundred-acre area packed densely with trees and undergrowth into which African animals tf all kinds were released. Beasts that are shown in action include a herd of more than 20 elephants, more than 50 lions, a mankilling rhinoceros, chimpanzees monkeys, Wunderbeest, gazelles, hippopotamus, boa-constrictors and hundreds of other specimens of rnife life. Two of the biggest climaxes of the picture show a herd of maddened elephants charging a safari of natives, later an attack of dozens of lions upon a camp. Wild animal men and a crew of 1,000 production men were recruited from all parts of the country to assist the studio in obtaining the scenes. The new story continues the adventure of Tarzan, played by Weissmuller, when a safari attempts to raid the elephants' burial ground of millions of dollars worth of ivory. Tarzan's attempts to protect the stereed jungle horde get them into breath-taking hazards that far surpass the thrills of "Tarzan the Ape Man." Of special interest in the picture are scenes taken under vater by a special process that has recorded the strangest sight ever seen by the human eye—a battle between a man and a giant crocodile. INJURED IN FALL Gladys. Timberlake, a 16-year-old student of 512 N Street, Northwest, suffered a laceration of the scalp. Monday, when she fell down a flight of steps at her home. She was treated at Freedmen's Hospital. :-Republic:- Review It's back to the docks and the coast and the waterfront that "Wharf Angel," with Victor McLaglen and Dorothy Dell take you at the Republic during the week just closing. And I enjoyed the trip. The story wraps itself around a pair of sea-faring men who love the same girl, the latter a former mendicant—er something. Victor McLaglen and Preston Foster, as two contrasting, fearless men of action, give excellent performances, as does Allison Skipworth as the proprietress of a 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 lots of folks like. Preview May Robson who gave a great performance as 'Apple Annie' in "Lady For A Day" will be seen in her latest picture, "You Can't Buy Everything," at the Republic Theatre for five days beginning Sunday. Fifty years ago Miss Robson launched upon her career as an actress and has worked steadily at her profession ever since. In her newest picture she portrays the eccentric and miserly character of Hannah Bell, phenomenal finance: of forty years ago, whose life was devoted to avenging a man who had jilted her in her youth, and to make her son Donny, the richest man in America. The production is laid in picturesque New York of more than a quarter of a century ago and introduces many novel settings. Jean Parker and Lewis Stone support Miss Robson in "You Can't Buy Everything." Tom Tyler in "God's Country and the Man," will be shown on Friday and Saturday, May 25 and 26. Also Chapter 2 of the serial "Pirata Treasure."

The senior choir presented its guest artist, Leroy Barber, in a number of request songs. These were supplementary to the numbers presented by the choir. A dramatice moment in the church was when Mrs. J. T. Cavanaugh, who has been confined to her bed for two years, was wheeled into the church in a rolling chair, accompanied by four sons and four sisters. Many silent tears of sympathy were shed by friends as Mrs. Cavanaugh resumed her regular place by the window. On Sunday evening, the senior and junior choirs rendered a joint program, the theme of which was "Mother." Many beautiful tributes, papers, recitations, songs, etc., were paid to "Mother." The chair stand was generously decorated with flowers of various kinds, featuring the white and pink color scheme for Mother's Day. A large arm chair was draped in white and in it rested a huge basket of mixed blossoms. On the opposite side Mrs. Ella Mason occupied the living mothers' chair.

Al Jolson, Dolores Del Rio, Dick Powell, Ricardo Cortez and a host of others star. RETURN OF NEGRO SCREEN STAR TO CITY ANNOUNCED Announcement that Miss Etta Moten, sensational young singing star of "Gold Diggers of 1933" and more recently of "Flying Down to Rio," has been definitely signed for a return engagement at the Lincoln Theatre, was made by officials of the Lichtman Theatre chain, early this week. Miss Moten captivated audiences of the nation's capital several months ago when she appeared at the popular U Street show house. A. Her renditions of "The Caricao," and "My Forgotten Man," song hits of "Flying Down to Rio" and "Gold Diggers," respectively, were enthusiastically received. On that occasion Miss Moten was invited to sing at the White House. The First Lady was most cordial in her reception of the Negro female star, according to reports from the youthful actress herself. The Lincoln appearance will be the last of Miss Moten "in the east prior to her return to Hollywood where she has been signed for further work on the sets Cab's Price Too High; White Theatre Loses to T Street Play House The appearance of Cab Calloway and his Cotton Club orchestra on the stage at the Howard Theatre marks the first Washington appearance of the ever popular "hide-ho" artist since his London performance before the Prince of Wales. Reports that Calloway had been sought by a downtown theatre for this initial stand after his European trip were confirmed early this week. The former Harlem Night Club orchestra leader's demand was too steep for the downtown house. Nate Stiefel, one of the Howard Theatre owners, met the price and Calloway was subsequently signed for the Seventh and T Streets stage show. - Calloway is reputed to receive $5,000 per week for his performances.

Wouldn't Shoot Dice, But Loses His Money Refusing to join in a crap game, George Banks, of 1217 Eighth Street, Southwest, was held up and robbed of $8.35 by two erstwhile friends, Saturday evening. Banks was accosted by the two men with a suggestion that he go with them to 623 Springman Court, Southwest. Banks accompanied the men to the address but turned down their request to shoot dice. Whereupon, one struck him in the face, and the other riffed his pockets of $8.35.

ELECT TWO NEW MEMBERS OF NATIONAL Y.W.C.A. BOARD PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (ANP) Two new colored members were added to the national board of the Young Women's Christian Association during the annual convention of the association held here this week. Those elected were Miss Juanita Saddler, dean of women at Fisk University, and Mrs. Myra Jones Bryant, of Birmingham, Alabama. Miss Saddler for a number of years was one of the national secretaries of the organization, resigning last year to accept the post at Fisk. Mrs. Bryant is one of the leading citizens of Birmingham, where her husband is a physician. Mrs. Bryant is active in all phases of the civic and religious life of her community. The election would seem to pressage a greater interest in the work among colored women of the South.

OFFICER AROUSES IRE OF KY. SENATOR LOUISVILLE, Ky. (ANP)—Ask United States Senator M. M. Logan who Atty. Charles W. Anderson, of the local N.A.A.C.P., is and hell probably tell you he's a "nasty man." Mr. Anderson wrote the Senator in behalf of the organization, requesting information as to his position on the Costigan-Wagner Anti-lynching bill. Senator Logan replied by telling Mr. Anderson that he either did not know much about public questions or lacked proper appreciation of public servants. According to Senator Logan, Mr. Anderson should have waited until he knew the Senator had had a chance to study the bill before trying to rush him into giving an opinion. Draws Strange Analogy "If you asked a judge of the court of appeals to tell you how he was going to vote before he had read the record," Senator Logan wrote, "you'd be held in contempt of court" He then drew the rather specious analogy between himself and such a judge, claiming that so far he knew nothing about the Costigan-Wagner bill. Senator Logan's upbraiding letter was written May 2, with the bill scheduled to come up May 10. That is, one week before legislation of such importance was scheduled to be discussed, the Senator had neglected to inform himself upon it . . . although Kentucky ranks with the leading lynch states.

Send all letters to Abbe TRIBUNE, 920 U Street, North- Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES J. MacDonald said: "To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved," and Dickens said: "It is well for a man to respect his vocation whatever it is." Federal employees in general and colored employees in particular should analyze, ponder over and digest the two above quotations, for therein lies most of their trouble—if trouble they have. Seventy per cent of the Federal employees (especially Negroes) think that the goodwii of petty bureau chiefs and crude jokes from ordinary clerks intimately told are more desirous than the respect and confidence of the highest officer in their respective departments or bureaus. They are wrong. It is much more to one's advantage to be disliked by his superiors but trusted and respected than to be well liked but untrustworthy and secretly disdained. I always hold that intelligent, neat, and efficient people like their employees and associates to be intelligent, neat, and efficient. Only ignorant, provincial, and prejudiced chiefs who have never had positions of importance before like dumb, slow-witted persons around them whose every official action they find it necessary to check behind. Unfortunately, the departmental service is cluttered up with half-ragged, one-foot-in-the-gutter, section and bureau chiefs who think Hatshepsut is a new style of head gear and that the ancient Ethiopians who cradled what we now know as civilization were "darkskinned representatives of the white race" and no Negro has any rights which a white man is bound to respect. This is one angle. Another angle is the relatively large number of Negroes who have never had intelligence enough or initiative enough to pass promotional examinations of any kind, who think Congressmen are people apart from ordinary persons, and who think a Federal employee who pays his poll tax, votes, and keeps in close contact with political leaders of his community is wasting time and money, and who gain their status by "Uncle Tomming" can't see why young white fellows come in one year, learn the work from them and are promoted to the positions which they feel should rightfully be theirs. They are wrong. They seem not to know that there are at least ten applications for every vacancy, eight of which are always white and six of which come with strong Senatorial or Congressional endorsement which cannot be safely ignored. They forget that section chiefs, division chiefs, and even department heads usually owe their positions to intercession of some Senator or Congressman, or both, and that all applications for positions in their departments or divisions which come to the attention of these Congressmen and Senators are referred to them and all vacancies filled are checked by them. The third point is that hundreds of messengers in various departments show little respect for their positions and their disrespect is so evident that it antagonizes their co-workers and often makes them the target of undue discrimination from some petty section chief whose actions are tacitly sanctioned from higher up. This was the writer's trouble in the State Department. It completely gagged him to have to submit to supervision from some of the petty officials in the division in which he worked who treated messengers unlike human beings, and were themselves so dumb and prejudiced as to generate a mutual disrespect. Realizing that intelligent white people appreciate intelligent colored people and semi-cultured white people can best tolerate colored people who appear to be as uncultured or less (if that is possible in some cases), that a goodly number of colored Federal employees are aspiring to positions which they are really incapable of efficiently filling and who, in addition, have inadequate political references, and that a goodly number of colored Federal employees are manifestly dissatisfied with their present positions, I respectfully offer the following suggestions: that 1. The few Negroes in the Federal service who discover that their I.Q.'s are relatively higher than their employer's, disguise this fact; that 2. Colored Federal employees who aspire to be clerks, proof-readers, personnel officers, and the like, have themselves prepared according to the rules and regulations prescribed by the Civil Service Commission; that 3. Colored Federal employees in Washington who have homes in other states establish a legal residence there, pay your poll tax, take part in the primaries (if possible) and vote at least in Presidential elections; that 4. Colored Federal employees, who would like to transfer to some other department or bureau, join the National Federation of Federal Employees or the American Federation of Government Employees; and 5. Then, contact the writer at 1921 Eighth Street, Northwest, or The Washington Tribune Office at 920 U Street. Enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. President Roosevelt and all of the heads of the permanent executive departments, the emergency organizations, and the independent offices, except three, have indicated through their official actions, to date, that they are more or less kindly disposed toward employees who have Civil Service status. The writer feels that it is a tragic mistake on the part of the majority of our leaders, to date, to emphasize the establishment of special "advisory boards for colored employees," separate sections with Negro chiefs, and certain lower classification jobs like messengers, underclerks, elevator conductors and the like for colored employees. It seems to me that a pooling of political resources and a concentration of correct and testimonial forces toward general reforms in the Civil Service Commission where 20,000 colored stand a chance of permanent improvement of their status is more desirable than the dishing out of about 20 high salary jobs to men (usually strangers to the classified civil service employee group) to serve as stop-gaps. Usually these fellows have their hands tied, mouths gagged, and feet leadened, and sometimes, I feel, their brains affected. H. Eliot Kaplan, secretary of the National Civil Service Reform League, stated, in effect, at a luncheon recently, where Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was the guest of honor, that: "In the very near future the Civil Service system will be called upon to cover the 15,000,000 persons estimated to be on public pay rolls now (including the 3,000,000 in the regular employ of Federal, state, and municipal governments) and all of those indirectly employed through the relief and emergency agencies." Mr. Kaplan may be wrong, although I have reason to believe that he is correct only in the estimate of the number of public employees. Anyone with an iota of vision can see that the government employee's ranks is being rapidly widened. I would like to see the Negro get his share. His present attitude indicates, I am sorry to say, not only that he will be lost in the new shuffle, but also unless he takes a hand in the New Deal he may be dropped in the discard. I earnestly hope that all of this has not been written in vain. This is the last of this type of column which I shall write for some time. Three weeks after I wrote the last similar one about May 9, 1933, I was dropped from the State Department on account of "a low efficiency rating."

S. Pinkett, local secretary. This included attorneys' fees, court costs, traveling expenses, advertising, printing and postage, the greater being used for court costs and attorneys' fees. After the withdrawal of the association from the cases the machinery of the organization was put at the disposal of the lawyers then defending the boys for the purpose of raising money to assist in their defense. Through this means there was raised an additional sum of something in excess of $4,000, all of which was applied to legitimate expenses incident to the defense of the boys. The District of Columbia branch has raised and sent to the National Office for the defense of these boys nearly $600 during the past three years, all of which has been properly accounted for. The monies raised by the local branch for the Scottboro Defense Fund are held in a separate account and applied strictly to expenses incident to the defense of the boys. The federal government is sending 71,000 men and women to college under the emergency relief program at a cost of a million a month.

The indictment against the white man charged second-degree assault, a felony, under which it was possible to impose a ten-year sentence. The maximum punishment under the third-degree conviction is three years. It was charged that Reles had beaten Battle, gone away, returned to the garage and fatally stabbed another colored man whom he mistook for Battle. Judge Martin told the jury: "You messed up on a real bad man. This fellow is more vicious than Dillinger, but lacks his courage."

SUPREME LIBERTY LIFE MAKES GAIN SUPREME LIBERTY LIFE MAKES GAIN In making public the figures of its operations for 1933, the statement of Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company issued this week discloses advances made along many lines during a year of continued financial chaos. During 1933 the company had a record breaking year in the issuance of industrial policies, having issued during the year 68,437 new policies for a total of $13,584,592 of insurance. It issued 3,322 new ordinary policies for a total of $2,509,875 of insurance. Despite heavy lapsation due to unemployment, it closed the year with an actual increase of 18,409 policies over last year, having 74,919 policyholders with outstanding insurance amounting to $23,011,341 in force on its books, an increase of over $1,509,000 for the year. Cash assets increased over $20,000 during the year, the company closing the year with the largest cash balance in its history, having total cash on hand and in banks of $76,878.24. A small portion of this cash is in closed banks, but the company has already charged off as non-admitted assets an amount sufficient to more than cover any actual loss from this source. At the end of the year the company had met every current obligation that was due. The company has recently received high praise because of the fact that it had paid every just claim in full and in addition had paid many claims that it might casily have contested and defeated. All policy loans and cash surrender values have been promptly made, and every claim on which proofs had been completed had been settled in full. Teacher: "Rufus, what do you want to be in life?"

Report Shows Dixie Spends $44.31 On White Child; $12.57 on Negro Information Reveals That the South is Not Able to Provide Public Education for All Children on Equal Basis With Other Sections The report of Dr. Fred McCusiton, of Nashville, Tenn., at a session of the National Conference on Fundamental Problems in the Education of Negroes which stated that 14 southern states are making greater effort to support public education, considering their per capital wealth, than the average state, was attacked by some of the educators when they pointed out that the South spends practically all of its educational funds for white children. It was shown that in 11 Southern States while the expenditure for each white student is $44.31, the average amount spent on colored pupils is only $12.57. Despite this effort it would require more than $400,000,000 additional expenditures to bring outlays for education up to the national average. Furthermore, it would require approximately $40,000,000 additional expenditure to bring outlays for the education of Negro children up to the average for white children in these fourteen States. Reports from eleven Southern States for 1930 show an average expenditure per pupil of $35.42. However, when expenditures are separated into racial groups we see that there was an expenditure of $44.31 for each white pupil enrolled and $12.57 for each Negro pupil enrolled. When these figures are compared with an expenditure of $99 per pupil in the United States as a whole, the inequalities are as- Oblate Sisters Observe Mother's Day Program The Oblate Sisters of Providence in St. Cyprian's parish held their annual Mother's Day program under the auspices of St. Cyprian's Parent Club, and Alumni Association Sunday afternoon, at St. Ann's Convent.

Shot Twice by Same Lad, Same Air Gun Once was bad enough but when Nathaniel Lewis, 11, of the 1300 block of Eighth Street, Northwest, shot Edward Wallace, 9, of 1321 Eighth Street, twice with a Daisy air rifle within the short space of one-half hour, Tuesday, then it was decided by police of the Second Precinct to let the Juvenile Court thrash out the matter. The two lads were playing in front of 1328 Eighth Street when Nathaniel took his first shot at Edward. The pellet struck Edward in the left thigh but did not break the skin. About one-half hour later, the lad was passing in front of a gasoline station at Eighth and O when another pellet struck him in the right arm. It had been fired by the same boy from the same air gun. To prevent a recurrence of the shooting, the matter was referred to the Juvenile Court for prosecution. tonishing. A comparison if expenditures over a long period of time in southern States shows that similar inequalities have existed. For example, the expenditure for each white pupil enrolled in these Southern States in 1910 was $9.45 while for each Negro pupil it was $2.90. South Claims Inability In 1930 ten Southern States transported 749,343 pupils at a total cost of $12,782,414. Slightly less than 2 per cent of the pupils transported were Negroes and less than 2 per cent of the funds were expended for their transportation. From the information contained in the McCuiston report it is assumed that the Southern States are not able to provide public education for all children on an equal basis with the other sections of the country. If the children of the South are to have the educational advantages available to other children of the nation, special financial support for public schools must be provided. However, any Federal funds which are or may be made available for public education in the South should be so distributed as to guarantee there will be no discrimination in the use of such funds between the children of different races. Furthermore, such funds should be so used and distributed as to correct the glaring inequalities which exist at present in the expenditures of school funds between the races.

THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1934 Mrs. Roosevelt Speaks Out The address of Mrs. Franklin D.

There was every ear-mark of deep sincerity in her utterances. It was apparent that she had given much thought to the subject. And when we read from her address her admonition to the American people that "We ALL go up together or we ALL fall together" we cannot but feel that she was speaking not only her sentiments but that of the President and the administration. Just how far her warning will be needed by the educators of the country no one can tell. Just how much her prediction was believed no one can tell. But we, believing as does Mrs. Roosevelt, feel that until this country realizes this solemn truth as expressed so courageously by Mrs. Roosevelt there will be no hope for any real national recovery that will be lasting.

The Jazz Orchestra It is unfortunate that the majority of Negroes leaving these shores for Europe are of the noisy jazzy kind who no doubt are creating the impression among Europeans that all American Negroes are of that type. In justice to other artists a number of really outstanding musicians have recently returned from abroad and others are still there, but the fact remains that the latter group is few while the former seems to figure more in the European public eye. Any uneducated Negro who can assemble a collection of followers and some brassy saxophones and other so-called musical instruments and the fare, immediately gets into his head that he will be a "hit" in Europe. This group is doing the American Negro untold harm. Too much propaganda has already been spread in Europe that the Negro is shiftless and only aspires to things mediocre. The invasion of Europe by the many so-called orchestras bear out this claim. Most of these "orchestras" resemble and sound more like insane people in a boiler factory. There is no more music, harmony or rhythm in these "orchestras" than in a can factory. However, the American public is fast beginning to tire of these so-called jazz orchestras and those who are surviving are turning to real music, for after all, the fad of jazz is certainly dying.

Keep Them Off the Force We wonder if the various civic associations and the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will sit idly by while the District officials reappoint William R. Laflin and James A. Mostyn, white, former policemen to the force. The two men have recently served a year in jail for brutality in one of the most notorious cases in history. They were convicted for beating a white man but no one knows how many Norwegians We wonder if the various civic associations and the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will sit idly by while the District officials reappoint William R. Laflin and James A. Mostyn, white, former policemen to the force. The two men have recently served a year in jail for brutality in one of the most notorious cases in history. They were convicted for beating a white man, but no one knows how many Negroes this pair has beaten. It is not likely that they would have dared to beat a white man unless they had been hardened in brutality and gotten away with the beating of Negroes. Lynchers begin first on the helpless and as time goes on they become bolder and lynch whites, then action of some sort is usually taken. The same holds true in the cases of brutal policemen. Every civic association and other organizations should rise in protest against having these men on the force again. Representative Howard Smith, of Virginia, has introduced a bill in Congress to authorize the commissioners to reinstate the two and it is stated that the commissioners have told congress they have no objection. The law-abiding citizens of Washington should object to having this pair of men back on the force to continue their beating of its citizens. Now that warn weather is here, one needs only to pass alleys on U Street, and smell the stench coming from them, to realize the urgent need of a comfort station in the Tenth and U Streets triangle. Let the Negro neighborhoods pay more attention to their pavements lawns, and yards this year.

To the Editor: During the four and one-half years I was a student in the Shaw Junior High School and the Cardozo Business High School in Washington, I was a constant reader of your paper, along with other colored weeklies. Since I left there in June, 1931, I have frequently purchased issues of other papers in the hope of finding some news of D. C. schools, but with little avail. I consider The Tribune the finest, most sensibly published, most neatly arranged, and cleanest race periodical published anywhere, and I believe that it should circulate among the thirteen millions of Negro Americans. There is one feature of your newspaper about which I wish to make special mention: that is, the very interesting and enlightening write-ups about the schools and their activities. Being fond of and interested in the D. C. school system and its progress, as I am, these news items (printed as only your newspaper does) always serve as a decided treat to me. Last year a friend sent me at the end of June the entire month's issues of The Tribune, each of which carried splendid articles concerning the various institutions of learning. I am asking you to please give this matter your careful consideration and advise me as to your thoughts about it.

America's Tenth Child Must Be Prepared, Writes Horace Mann Bond. To the Editor: There is in America today a forgotten child. He is a child whose parents bear in the majority of instances the accumulated ignorance and poverty of centuries of labor, toil for which they were not required. He is born into circumstances of disease and degradation, and grows up to attend schools which are for the most part the most miserable provided in the civilized country for the generation of tomorrow. His father and mother do not usually have any influence upon the dictation of political or educational policies, through ignorance, disfranchisement, or disinterest—or, more often, a combination of all three factors. Certainly this is the forbidden child—and he is the Negro child of our nation. He is America's tenth child—a child who must grow, become educated, and progress. He must be prepared!

Anniversary Speaker Declares Need for Progressive Education for Negroes To the Editor: I heard Dr. Charles T. Loram, of Yale University, deliver an address at Hampton Institute last week. I wish to draw attention to certain of his remarks which should be food for thought for colored parents: "The Negro college," declared Dr. Loram, "must send out trained students to leave Negro education. It needs a program of studies based soundly on the 'essentials of education,' but going deep into the philosophic principles underlying these essentials, and ready to move along as the day and age call for shifting emphaiss. "What Negro education needs today," declared Dr. Loram, "are conspicuous examples of the new normal school to demonstrate the teachings of sound progressive education, the coming high school with much emphasis upon the presentation of adolescents for the new responsibilities, including the worthy use of leisure, the up-to-date agricultural and industrial institutions with the extension into the fields of marketing and industrial co-operation. These are some of the opportunities which seem to me to lie before the privately endowed Negro college. It is not for them to carry the burden of mass education. That is clearly the function of the state." I. A. LaM. Anniversary Speaker Declares Need for Progressive Education for Negroes To the Editor: I heard Dr. Charles T.

Sitting in a four and nutty dungeon, Gazing out through rusty prison bars, Shut in from the blessings of the sunlight, Given not a glimpse of moon or stars; Hearing but the groans of fellow prisoners, Breathing fetid air and gasses foul; Trying to suppress the moans and sighings Rising from the anguish of his soul.

He who would be great among you, let him be your servant; and the greatest of all is the servant of all. Of all of the distinguished leaders I know or have known, I can think of none other than William Monroe Trotter who would degrade his social position in order to serve his race. Many of our would-be fastidious leaders would not forego the assumed dignity of a starched front, an evening suit or a pointed beard for any conceivable form of service. Trotter's trip to the Peace Conference as an accredited delegate of his race happened in this wise: The Equal Rights League, of which he was founder and president, called a convention for the purpose of effecting arrangements for putting the Negro's case before the assembled peace makers of the world. It was deemed necessary that the world should know of the hollow mockery then masquerading under the guise of holy democracy. The attention of the world must be called to the inconsistency of the apostle of self-determination in light of its travesty in Mississippi and Georgia.

WILSON REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE PLEA The resolutions were adopted, the plans were laid, and the money was raised, some three thousand dollars, for this purpose. But the convention was faced with the practical question: "Whom shall we send and who will go for us?" Several delegates were chosen. Application was made of the State Department for transports. The request was sent to President Wilson, then in Europe. The executive order was issued not to grant passport to any of them. The whole scheme of the convention seemed to be frustrated. On a famous strategic occasion, Joshua selected the leaders of his hazardous enterprise from among the volunteers who were willing to lap water like a dog. On this momentous occasion, none but Trotter stood the test. Finding all means of dignified passage barred, he had the resourcefulness to devise his own method of reaching the Peace Conference and there presenting the cause of his race, at whatever hazard or sacrifice of dignity.

TROTTER BECOMES SCULLION TO GET TO EUROPE After fully maturing the plan in his own mind, he disguised himself as a menial, shaved off his mustache, donned seedy clothes, hung around the cheap restaurants about the wharf, acting the assumed role by accepting work as a kitchen scullion in order that he might be taken on as a member of some crew about to sail for Europe. The plan worked. He was engaged as a scullion, and, as such worked his way across. While en route he engraciated himself in the good favor of the steward, and acted as his private secretary and wrote his letters for him. The boat, for some reason not being allowed to land, a row boat was sent ashore for supplies. Trotter, with an eye single to his main chance, besought the steward to let him go and mail the letters which he had written for him. On putting foot ashore, he proceeded about his mission, being careful before leaving the boat to conceal his documents of instructions as well as his money allotment in his belt strapped to his person beneath his clothing. He then proceeded to dress like a gentleman and went about the fulfillment of his mission.

TROTTER Woodrow Wilson, mindful, no doubt, of a previous interview which the intrepid Trotter had with him in the White House on segregation, and in which the President came out see and best, refused to see him. He had easy and ready access to the representatives of other nations before whom he presented the American Negro's cause as only Trotter could present it. The hypocrisy of the American position was laid bare in all of its rawness. His memorial was published in leading French journals which no doubt had important impression upon the public opinion of the world. Having performed the mission upon which he was dispatched he returned to America like the gentleman that he was. Returning home he gave a full account of his stewardship first to the organization which sent him, and then through the columns of the Guardian and from the public platform, to the Negro race and to the American people.

HIS WORK DONE—HE RETURNS TO HIS OWN No such daring diplomatic feat has ever been attempted by any other Afro-American not excepting the grotesque and bizarre escapades of Marcus Garvey. Behold the scion of a distinguished family, nurtured by fair Harvard, elite of the elite Boston society, divesting himself of all social pride and prestige, benigning himself in the guise of a scullion to serve his race in high diplomatic function across the seas. Nothing but a consecrated sense of duty and profound loyalty and devotion could impel a man so favored by circumstances to undergo such hazardous hardships for his race. The remarkable episode hasn't received its deserved place in Negro annals. The story carefully documented deserves a permanent place n the Journal of Negro History.

Clifford C. Mitchell Says There Will Be Little Work at World's Fair for Colored People Refers to Rumor of Negroes Having Their Own World's Fair. He Advises that Housing Facilities Will Be Adequate. By Clifford C. Mitchell CHICAGO, Ill.—Little by little the Southside is beginning to prepare for the coming of thousands of colored visitors to the Fair. Private dwellings are being cleansed from top to bottom. Yards are being groomed, and even the unsightly alleys are being given some attention. New "For Rent" signs, both in apartments and rooms, are appearing daily. The colored populace is being awakened and the feeling of a summer of fun and carnival days is in the air. The colored merchants are also sprucing up a bit in anticipation of the visitor. Far in the lead, however, are the places of amusement. In this respect maybe the amusement owner has the right idea and he knows that the colored tourists will be interested in nothing but amusements. At any rate new amusement resorts, both public and semi-private, are springing up in almost every block. Oh, yes, the tourist will find plenty of amusement on Chicago's Southside. Chicago, of 2300 South Michigan Avenue, which is organized for the purpose of rendering an invaluable service to the World's Fair visitor. The service includes a ten per cent discount on hotel and rooming house rates, and they have many hotels co-operating with them at all rates and in all parts of the city. Information Service They also give unlimited free parking. Negro Employment Scarce Some agitation is now being made to secure more employment for colored people at the Fair, but I'm afraid the movement can be classed only as a gesture. Practically all, jobs were promised or spoken for months ago. Exhibitors and those holding concessions might give some employment to colored men and women in menial capacities but even in this field competition with the whites is enormous. Among the colored Southsiders there is talk of having a Colored World's Fair of their own. They had such an arrangement in 1933, by which many colored exhibits were congregated or rather I should say segregated. I didn't attend it, so I am incapable of writing concerning it. One organization is bidding to serve the out-of-town tourists, the World's Fair Service Bureau of This Week By HAROLD G. EATON This Week By HAROLD G. EATON The world does not live that close to the teaching of the Bible to get away with it. * * * * Poor Joe lost his job last Monday. He was told that he had to belaid off for economy's sake. This would have been all right with Joe only it hurt him to find out later that 'economy' was a white man. There undoubtedly will be no protest made to Joe's former employers. No one will be interested, for Joe is of no importance. He was not a "white collar" workman holding a dignified position and drawing a big salary. He was only a lowly street sweeper of the District of Columbia. Certainly no no one will trouble himself as much as to write the District Commissioners a card in protest of such an act of injustice. Joe was merely a victim of favoritism. What can he do about it? Nothing. He will just have to accept things as they are and struggle until he finds another job. The white man could pull more strings than Joe could find to pull. I did not write the above to bring out a point. They are bare facts. I know Joe very well. He told me of the problem that was facing him. He appeared to be a very good worker, so inefficiency could not have been the reason for him to be replaced by a nordic. As I see it this act is a reaction to the pressure that has been applied to certain chain stores in this city by an organization known as the New Negro Alliance. This expression may appear to be a bit vague, but permit me to make myself clear. The New Negro Alliance, for the last ten months has been waging war against the Sanitary and A. & P. stores of Washington. Their objective was to obtain employment for young colored men as clerks in these stores. They succeeded in placing a number of young men in various stores. But to do this, they used force. The Alliance, through the art of picketing, compelled these stores to do things that they did not wish to do. There are many who will not agree with me, but such a procedure is wrong. Force is out of the order, and when it is used, more complexing problems arise. The world does not live that close to the teachings of the Bible to get away with it. If we throw a stone at our neighbor we should not expect bread in return. So far we have not gotten many stones in return by following the slogan "buy where you can work." But if times continue as they are, I venture to predict that we will see a great deal of propaganda such as the N.N.A. circulating among the opposite groups. the Southside is beginning to pre- colored visitors to the Fair. eansed from top to bottom.

Chicago, of 2300 South Michigan Avenue, which is organized for the purpose of rendering an invaluable service to the World's Fair visitor. The service includes a ten per cent discount on hotel and rooming house rates, and they have many hotels co-operating with them at all rates and in all parts of the city. They also give unlimited free parking in close proximity to the fair grounds on their own parking lot. They give information service to all visitors, and they are the official agents for the Gray Bus Lines and Sight-seeing Tours. Their charges for the entire service is very reasonable, and they have an agency proposition which all out-of-town readers are requested to write for. At the fair grounds some twenty-five hundred workmen have the new buildings and reconstructed old ones nearly finished and exhibitors are vicing with one another in making theirs the most attractive. Two Orchestras Plenty of music, and at least two symphony orchestras will be giving performances each day at the fair. Thursdays will no doubt be children's day at the fair, when they can get in for a nickel and where their nickels will do as much for them on that day as the quarters and half dollars of the adults. Suppose an organization was to spring up in the nordic group, with the white public behind it, and should go to the various dry goods stores such as Woodward and Lothrops, Jeliff, Landsburg and Garfnickel and say to the management of these stores: "We have the white people behind us. We want you to discharge all your colored help and hire white people ri their places." I am sure these in their places." I am sure these stores would immediately grant them their wish without even mentioning picketting. Suppose that same group would appeal to the rich people of Washington to think of the white race and fire the colored cooks, maids, butlers and chauffers and hire whites in their places? (A lot of this has been done already without any appeal.) Can you imagine the predicament of the Negro then? He would not be able to "buy where he can work" then because there would not be anything to buy with. Again I say, do not throw a stone and expect bread in return. Above the Mystic Sea A palace in the air, beloved, Above the mystic sea, All within it is so fair beloved, And all belongs to me. Emerald isles in fairy land— Jewels in ocean bed, Salt sea spray and silver sand, And dream's imprintless tread. Ethereal dreamland o'er the wave, Naiad dancers are there— Shimmering moonbeams come to battle In pools of fairy hair. World of stars around my throne; All these things for me— Where I hold court with dreams, alone, Above the mystic sea. To sin by silence when we should protest Makes cowards out of men. The human race Has climbed on protest.] Had no voice been raised Against injustice, ignorance and lust; The inquisition yet would serve the law And guillotines decide our least disputes, The few who dare must speak, and speak again. "It is wrong to submit to evil. It is base to kiss the hand that robs us of our rights. We do not deserve freedom if we can endure slavery. Justice is born of the rebellion against wrong. As truth is born of the protest against error. The Asiatic submits: the European rebels."—Mangasarian. Our golden age lies before and not behind us, as many think. Information Service Two Orchestras By Theodore Smith To Sin by Silence PECIAL FEATURES SPECIAL FEATURES Interest Keen in Lawn and Yard Competition this Year By P. J. RAYFORD Director, Elementary Science Dept. of Colored Schools The tendency of school building principals to interest their neighbors and friends continues with an increasingly large number of lawns being planted all over the city. This condition almost guarantees success of the yard and garden competition idea in all communities, for it has become an established fact that in almost every instance in previous events of this character, wherever a large number of yards have been planted in any community, that community usually benefits not only in increased effort put into work on the properties, but also with neighbors who, although not entered seem to enter into the spirit of the idea and decide to make their property equally attractive, even though they have not been inclined to enter. Two Schoosl Referred To There are two instances which have come to my attention, the community surrounding the John F. Cooke School and that of the Margaret Washington Vocational School, where principals of above mentioned schools are working out a plan whereby every resident will be inclined to enter in the competition. It is our belief that the realization of such a condition will result in improving the general appearance of the entire city. If this dream of 100 per cent city beautiful is to be realized, it will be the first city to our knowledge to have every resident interested in the cause of beautifying the entire city. Garden Clubs Junior Garden clubs are organized in all elementary schools of Divisions 10-13 and Parent Teacher Associations are sponsoring the Junior Garden Clubs. The lawn is an important part of any property. In fact the lawn is the canvas on which the garden lover paints his floral or plant picture. Without some area of grass it is very difficult to achieve the complete effort of a balanced charming picture. In this connection it is well also to remember that many fine lawns were damaged by the drought so badly that they are beyond repair. Wherever this condition exists, its a good plan to start in building a new lawn. Once you are sure that the major portion of the lawn is badly damaged do not hesitate until warmer weather; get busy at once and do a new and complete job. Grass is no different from any other form of plant life in that it demands for success the proper soil conditions, plus food, water and constant care. If fine lawns could be placed on every property in Washington, we would immediately attain a more pleasing picture, even though the plantings were unchanced. The Soil In building a new lawn soil should first be considered and next the seed. The soil for a fine lawn should approach that required for a fine garden—namely a friable, well drained one, and one well supplied with plant food. One cannot plant grass on rock or in pure sand completely lacking in either food or humus and expect a fine lawn. There must be something in the soil to make it attain water and plant food, and if that condition is lacking, then it must be supplied if fine results are to be expected. Do not put money into 'ne seed to be sown on soil which will not support it and then hold your seed man accountable for the failure. If in doubt about your soil, take a sample of it to your seed man and ask his opinion. This would be a good plan in any event, for after seeing your type of soil, he will be in better position to recommend the proper mixture of seeds. On the subject of seed, there is no economy in mixing your own blend of seed, for every reliable seed man has mixtures prepared for different types of soil. Not only would the soil have humus content which can be added, if deficient, through the application of commercial products, but it should be well supplied with food in the form of coarse bone meal to feed over a long period of time, together with some other fertilizer more rapid in its action; such as any one of the many plant foods now on the market. It is a good plan to apply such plant foods in small quantities at frequent intervals. The attainment of a fine lawn by any set date does not mean that the lawn will stay that way until September unless constant applications of food are made. Water is important, but it is a significant fact that lawns which are properly constructed stand best in drought even with complete lack of water. In other words, a well fed, healthy lawn will stand more adversity than one which is lacking in these qualities. Diversify A lawn is composed of literally thousands of individual plants, all uniting to give a collective effect yet demanding its full share of nourishment. Where some plants lack these things, we have a spotty lawn, which means that no matter how fine a lawn may be, it is only as good as its poorest area. In all yard and garden competition the winner of the grand awards almost without exception boasted at least a fine lawn. Fine lawns are just natural development of a successful garden competition. If you are considering a fine lawn, you should naturally consider the yard and garden competition, and by all means encourage your neighbors to do likewise. No sight is more beautiful than a street where all lawns are rich, thick and green. Children A Factor The key to many difficult situations is sometimes found in the hands of children. This has been proven by the pupils of the Giddings-Lincoln Schools. In order to make their section the cleanest and prettiest one in the city, they were organized last fall into a Garden Club. A captain, first and second lieutenants and sergeants were selected. "Clean Up" A "Clean Up" Campaign was started at once. The officers were to visit each member of the Garden Club and make weekly reports on the condition of their yards to the teacher in charge. Visits were made by her to the officers' and members' homes on Satdays and Sundays to advise the children and check up on reports. Since most of the officers were boys, a plan was instigated to give the girls some instruction. Some plants were secured and given to the girls to take home and care for. Prizes were awarded to those having the best cared for plants. Prizes are to be awarded to the pupils having the best cared yard and the one which shows greatest improvement. Other Schools The squad at Giddings School cleaned up two lots near the school. Six wagon loads of debris were removed from one lot. The lot has since been spaded and planted by the pupils of the Fifth Grade. S. Peas, lettuce, onions, kale, nach, swiss chard, beets, carr and string beans are planted. A lot, in the neighborhood of some of the boys of Lincoln School, has been cleaned and planted with some vegetables as the lot described above. The other lot near the Giddings School which has been cleaned was used as a playground. The yard of the Southeast Welfare Home has been graded and planted by the School Grounds Squad. The Southeast Welfare Home is next door to the Giddings School and is the children's second home. 520 Visits The children are busy cleaning up back and front yards. More than five hundred and twenty visits have been made by officers, members and the teacher in charge. The neighborhood is cooperating to the fullest. The children have been able to have practical work in gardening. The garden work has been correlated with the other subjects. The school community is alive with the idea of "Clean Up and Beautify." Mrs. Sarah E. Gray, administrative principal of Gldings-Lincoln Schools, is doing all in her power to further the interest of the children and parents. As a result of this training, we see many benefits. The children will appreciate beauty more. They will appreciate the labor attached. They will have received many valuable lessons in botany, zoology and agriculture. They have worked in the fresh air and sunshine and thereby improved their health. They have worked as a unit, thereby learning to cooperate in a large movement. They have learned to appreciate the joy of cleanliness for health's sake. Let Us Read By C. LESLIE FEAZIER The first printing on "Blondes Play Too Rough" by Robert Neal Leath has already been exhausted, one week before publication date. A second printing has been ordered and the publishers, William Godwin, Inc. (New York), hope to have stock again by publication date, which was April 27.

Dr. Bond describes how in the early history of Tuskegee Institute Booker T. Washington had students instructed in the best way to make butter or to milk a cow and points out that when commencement time came, the graduating students milked cows upon the platform or made butter before the eyes of the spectators.

What a gala week-end for the Omega Psi Phil! This popular fraternity held its prom week-end from May 10 to May 13. The whole affair was well managed and offered a variety of entertaining novelties. On Thursday, May 10, a stag party was held at the Omega House in honor of visiting brothers. Friday found the Alpha Alpha Omega Kappa Psi Chapters "a home" at the Omega House to their guests, 5 to 6 o'clock. From 11 to 12 p.m., Friday, a most enjoyable "caviar hour" was spent at the Omega House before going to the annual spring formal held the same evening at the Lincoln Colomade. The hall was most artistically decorated; the whole setting was quite attractive and beautiful, and the cool summery dresses of the ladies added much color to the whole affair. The next day, Saturday afternoon, found an interesting tennis match being played on the Monument Grounds by the Kappa and Omega. Saturday evening until twelve the fraternity members and friends danced together at the Country Club (Chalcedony Inn). Sunday, May 13, the wonderful week-end was brought to a close with a theatre party in the loge of the Lincoln Theatre, the party assembling at 9 p.m. The Omega boys are to be congratulated upon this swanky entertainment they offered, for it makes quite an innovation in the types of affairs which have been offered by local fraternities. The week-end was one, long to be remembered by those who attended the various gatherings. The dance given by Misses Alice Belle, Florence Snowden and Mrs. Louise Hayes at the Country Club (Chalcedony Inn) on last Friday evening was most enjoyable. The Four Dots furnished music for the occasion and offered several novelty numbers.

First-class and very special service has been secured from Charles Shipley, of Baltimore, Md., and a most interesting program has been arranged. From all indications the affair will be most enjoyable. PLAYERS' GUILD PRESENTS "THE-RED ROBE" "The Red Robe," a drama given by the Players' Guild under the direction of Miss Mary P. Burrill and sponsored by the Thespian Study Club on last Saturday evening at the Armstrong High School was quite a success. A large crowd was in attendance and demonstrated by their applause their appreciation of the fine dramatic work exhibited by the players. The Scholarship Committee of Camp Clarissa Scott is planning a most delightful outing on May 30, at the camp. It is hoped that all interested persons will avail themselves of this opportunity of not only seeing this wonderful camp and helping the cause but enjoying a day in the open with such enticing surroundings, such lovely and interesting company and such a delicious luncheon. SOCIETY AT A GLANCE Mrs. Walter A. Gordon, wife of Attorney Gordon, of Oakland, Cal., who has been attending the Y.W.C.A. Conference in Philadelphia, passed through the city en route home and was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Algernon Jackson, of 213 Florida Avenue, Northwest. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Condel were visitors in Philadelphia last Sunday. Attorney and Mrs. Emory B. Smith and little son, Emory, spent Sunday in Philadelphia, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Harris, parents of Mrs. Smith. Miss Olga De Neal spent the week-end in Baltimore. She attended the A.K.A. dance in that city. Milton Reed, from Baltimore, the uncle of Cab Calloway, spent the week-end in the city as Mr. Calloway's guest. Mrs. Catherine Beaubain Coles, of Troy, N.C., passed through the city this week en route to New York City. Mr. and Mrs. Clark Newton and a party of friends from Baltimore were visitors in the city last Saturday evening. Mrs. James Snites, of Chapel Hill, N.C., supervisor of colored schools in that county, was a visitor in the city last week, attending the National Negro Educational Conference. Mrs. Latessa Elliott, of Chicago, who has been visiting friends in North Carolina and New York, stopped over in the city en route home. The Young People's Club of St. Luke's P.E. Church had a call meeting on last Tuesday at the residence of Mrs. Georgia Turner. A "barn party" is being planned for sometime in early summer. Prof. W. T. B. Williams was in the city during the week attending the National Negro Educational Conference. Cards have been received in the city announcing the opening of the dental offices of Dr. LeRoy P.

MAY 17. 1934 PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men The only thing that kept Saturday, May 12 from being a perfectly grand day for the out-of-town teachers (here for the Educational Conference) was the fact that it had far too few minutes in it. Take for instance, Miss Fannie C. Williams, principal of the Valena C. Jones Normal and Practice School, New Orleans, La., and former president of the National Educational Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. That good lady really needed a month or so for the many pressing engagements her friends had arranged for that day. Business must come before pleasure, so, in the morning she helped to close the Conference. But after that, there was luncheon with Miss Hattie Fager, a lovely Atlanta lady; there was the festival on the Howard Campus; there were sight-seeing tours and a trip to Baltimore; there was the dinner at the Fabian Labats and other dinners to last her for a week; there was a play that Miss Nickerson wanted her to see; there were—well, if Miss Williams crowded all those engagements into Saturday's 24 hours she must be akin to Hudini. I really don't believe she did it. At any rate, when I saw her last, she was still moving fast and beaming with delight, as baggage-laden and happy, she climbed into a waiting car and sned toward the Union Station (with a promise to pick up two dinners and peep in at a play enroute). **** Wasn't it dear of a certain young man to send his best girl's mother a be-z-u-tiful box of candy on Mother's Day? No, detries, can't give his name. That really wouldn't be fair. For with a swell young chap like he is, the rush in his direction would simply be quite awful. (And it's bad enough as it is:) * * * * Who could more charmingly have entertained the Beta Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority last Thursday than did Mrs. Esther King of 1811 nineteenth Street, northwest? (Too bad the Delta's had to come up), I get mad every time their name is mentioned. Missed their pretty Spring Prom a month or so ago (tried t snatch a beauty nap and woke up hours too late). If I live till 1999 (I won't be so old at that) I'll still remember it with regrets. Mrs. Elizabeth Jefferson and Mrs. Hamilton Travis ran down from New York last Sunday morning. No harm in that, you say? Well, their friends are quarreling just the same. And all because those two very popular ladies ran right back to the big, gay town that selfsame day without even telling their friends "Hello." Now if Mrs. Jefferson's lovely daughter Marion (who is scheduled to visit her aunt, Mrs. Walter Tate, this week) pulls off a trick like that, there's bound to be—but here's hoping that she won't. Attorney and Mrs. Ambrose Shief of 1408 Hopkins Street, Northwest, motored to Wrightsville, Pa. to visit relatives over the week-end. And everybody was wondering why Mrs. Shief's niece, Miss Emily Baer, so cheerfully missed an opportunity to accompany them (especially since it's her own home town). They are not wondering any more. For it developed later that Emily wanted to stay at home so she could be on hand at the Armstrong Auditorium and see that no actual harm was done to a particularly brilliant player (the prosecutor) who was really and truly in for a killing in the play called "The Red Robe" last Saturday night. *** You can't really blame Mr. Charles L. Pinderhughes, Dunbar Athletis coach, for the big broad smile he's wearing these days. For not only did smart young Pinderhughes, Jr. figure as a Dunbar winner in the swimming meet featuring entrants from Douglas High of Baltimore, Armstrong and Dunbar, the other day, but the very popular Percy Pitts of 1901 Fifteenth Street, Northwest proved himself some swimmer too when he emerged (all wet of course) but bearing the back stroke laurels proudly for his own beloved Dunbar. The prosperous looking brown-clad individual you saw burning up the highway enroute to the Preakness the other day was none other than one of Southwest's "pride and joy" the genial John T. Rhines. When it comes to boosting civic affairs in his own section and out of it too, that gentleman always plays his part. Don't think that all the wives and husbands that are rushing out to Reno are looking for nice soft places to deposit incompatible mates. Some are searching for "Chicken Soup Springs." Just think of it! All you do, they say, is to dip up a bow] of the bubbling, boiling liquid; add some salt and pepper, and Presto! You have good chicken soup. So, if you see me Reno-bound with a bucket, a barred, a hoghead or something, don't immediately feel alarmed. Twill only be my appetite calling for chicken soup. A bunch of poses for the N.O.U.'s (New Orleans University Club) because when they do decide to dance they get together so many you-like-me's and I-like-you's. Just watch them Friday night. too, they are smart enough to know that the Murray Casino is just the right romantic spot in which to trip the light fantastic. Who can ever forget that marvelous presentation of "The Red Robe" at the Armstrong Auditorium the other night? Not a dull minute in it. And the players, each one superb. If you ever hear that Miss Mary Burwill is directing anything, whether it's "Old King Cole" or "Lady McBeth" drop everything (it will be worth it) and go in a hurry. For when that lady says "Curtain rises at 8:15," that's exactly what she means. We thought she was joking the other night (and a whole crowd of others thought the same thing.) So, we arrived at 8:25. The curtain had been up precisely 10 minutes and we really deserved what we got. Next time Miss Burrill says 8:15 (for fear my clock may be slow) I'll be there at 8:00. The Educational Conference is over and the visiting teachers have already hit the trail for home taking with them happy memories of a delightful stay in the Nation's Capital. They may forget some of the lessons they learned at the Conference; the faces of some of the interesting people they met may eventually fade from their view; the picture of beautiful Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the White House and even the Capitol may some day grow dim as the years go slowly by. But there's one thing that will always remain lovely, springlike and green in the minds of those out-of-town teachers, and that is the hour they spent in the flower-filled Y.W.C.A.'s salon as the guests of the College Women's Club. Sort of an acquaintance reception it was. You met Mrs. New York and Mrs. Massachusetts met you. Slim, smiling Flaxie Pinkett and dainty Marianna Beck of Kansas City ushered you in, and straightway, other lovely ladies, beautifully gowned led you to the receiving line where you were introduced to Mrs. Vivian Cook, President of the National College Women's Club. Exquisite she was in soft chiffon with pretty green slippers adding a gay note (and surely Baltimore can boast no more gracious a body than she); Dr. Georgiana Simpson, one of Washington's best-beloved; charming Mrs. Esther Shaw and that juitalent individual known as Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook and her very interesting house guest, Miss Mabel Simms of Bluefield, West Virginia. There was Mrs. Bertha Collins, she's another of the Howard sisters) in a French sort of blue ensemble with touches of pink; and Mrs. Ahred Blanchett reversing the order and wearing a pink lace dress with bits of blue placed here and there. The ever-present polka dot was there too and made a very becoming costume for Miss Bertha McNeill. Mrs. Thomas Bragg, resplendent in pink with a cartwheel drooping at just the right angle about her beaming face. Mrs. Emma Saunders, Assistant to the President of the General Alumni Association of Howard University, 1833 S Street, walking about, now here, now there, just to see that everyone had ever so enjoyable a time. Mr. and Mrs. Lankford coming right in and going right out (those Lankfords are busy people you see). Dr. Ambrose Calver was there, of course. For could any meeting of teachers possibly be complete without the genial presence of the Specialist in Education? The daintiest kind of a repast was served and finally when nobody could find a single excuse to tinger longer, reluctant goodbyes were said.

SCHOOL BOARD SCHOOL BOARD (Continued from page 1 ) over a period of time, but for some reason the correspondence never reached the board. Before 1929 he had received a rating of "excellent." Dr. Washington also charged that Mr. Wilkinson refused to give him a hearing, but was finally given one by Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, on last March 2, but was refused an appeal. Charged With Inefficiency The board finally decided to turn the whole matter over to the committee on complaints and appeals with the result that Mr. Mattingly was charged with inefficiency. Three meetings were held by the committee April 30, May 4 and May 9. Members present were Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, Mrs. Henry G. Doyle and Mrs. Phillip Sydney Smith. Others than members at the last meeting were President J. Hayden Johnson, Mrs. Mary McNeill, Henry Gilligan, Dr. Ballou, Mr. Wilkinson, Mrs. Hampton, and Dr. Washington. Following the session the following report was adopted and recommended to the board: That Mr. Mattingly and Mrs. Hampton did not show proper sympathy or tact in their handling of Dr. Washington. That Mr. Mattingly showed animus and lack of efficiency in his rating of Dr. Washington for 1930-1934. That Mrs. Hampton as director of art in divisions 10-13 and supervising art in the high schools, entertains a philosophy of art instruction which differs from the philosophy followed by Dr. Washington in his instruction. These differences in philosophy appear to the committee to be the primary basis for the differences which have arisen regarding the quality and character of Dr. Washington's teaching. That Dr. Washington does not appear to have followed the suggestion made by his superior officers for professional improvement. "In view of these facts the committee makes the following recommendations: 1. That in the rating of Principal Mattingly at the end of this school year, the rating officers take into consideration his lack of supervisory ability and his conduct towards Dr. Washington as exhibited in the ratings which Dr. Washington received for 1930-34. Not to Consider Ratings 2. That the ratings given Dr. Washington for the years 1930-33 shall not be taken into consideration to the prejudice of Dr. Washington at any future time when his ratings may be used. 3. That in the rating of Dr. Washington at the end of this school year the rating officers take into consideration the findings of this committee regarding these previous ratings. 4. That in the revision of the rules, the committee on rules give consideration to the desirability of establishing a period within which appeals from ratings shall be made. Wanted Ratings Changed The board meeting which ordinarily ends at 5 p.m., isasted until nearly 6, as many members were of the opinion that the ratings should be changed for the years which Dr. Washington claimed he was given the lower marks. Mr. Quinn, board member, expressed the opinion that the only way to do justice to Dr. Washington was to revise the ratings and substitute "excellent." However this brought about a lengthy discussion as others expressed the opinion that the board could not set itself up as a ratings committee. Mr. Gilligan supported the contention of Mr. Quinn. Showed Malice Mr. Gilligan also stated that Mr. Mattingly and Mrs. Hampton showed malice. "Mrs. Hampton had nothing against Dr. Washington other than he did not follow creative work." Mr. Gilligan said. "I think he ought to be re-rated. I think this board has the right to do so." Mr. Gilligan stated. Mr. Mattingly was also charged with holding official correspondence addressed to the superintendent. His only reason for doing this was "to keep the teacher from getting redress. Mr. Gilligan told the board. Dr. Ballou Protests Dr. Ballou, who was asked to pass on the case, stated that he did not concur in the findings of fact and said the report of the committee did an injustice to Mrs. Hampton. "I always protest against you not respecting rating officers," said the superintendent. "I do not believe Mattingly showed animus, but he showed lack of tact." Although the ratings of Dr. Washington were not changed, they will not effect him in future examinations. However, the ratings of Mr. Mattingly will be taken into consideration for his lack of supervisory ability and his conduct to Dr. Washington, the report stated. NUMBERS MAN ASKS NEW DEAL (Continued from page 1 ) expenses, Green stated that $20 a month was paid to a policeman for protection in addition to two office girls, a runner, rent, and other incidents. Won't Reveal Name At the mention of bribery, Lieut-Little demanded that Green name the officer being paid off. The runner refused to give him any information. Leslie C. Garnett, district attorney, and Wilbur LaRoe, Jr., chairman of the Civic Affairs Committee of Churches, pictured to the committee the widespread extent of gambling in the District and especially condemned the numbers game. They stated that it is being played by school children, government employees, and workers in other classes who can ill afford their losses. La Roe declared he had been told of cases of persons on the emergency relief roles, other poor persons, as well as school children were playing the numbers. In his plea for enactment of the measure, Lieut. Little explained the difficulties under existing law of attempting to break up the gambling evil and stressed the importance of a provision in the bill making possession of gaming devices and numbers tickets prima facie evidence of guilt.

According to rumors, their withdrawals have been due either to the high cost of police protection, the salting away of a neat little sum, or the "horning in" of the unscrupulous backers.

Rosalie Reid threw a party for her cousin, Tiny Bindshaw and was it ready! The time was set at ten thirty but the guests of honor didn't show up until about eleven thirty. Ernest Marshall missed it all. He had to leave at eleven, you see his mother doesn't allow him to stay out until the ridiculous hour of twelve. Tiny was accompanied by a very attractive young lady, his sister, who caused much excitement among the males at the party. Of course, Tiny himself was more than enough for the ladies. After being introduced to everybody he answered a request to play a number with, "Oh, That's One Thing I can't do." Everybody was disappointed. Dennette Harrod tried to do something at the piano but was very, very unsuccessful. After being tormented by many other similar attempts Bradshaw walked over to the piano and said, "Let me beat one out fella." After a cool introduction he swung lightly into his one and only Nacky Sacky. The house went wild. Now that he was warmed up he sang many other numbers among which were, "A Hundred Years from Today," "Say It Isn't So," "If It's True," and "Shanty in Old Shantytown," at the completion of which he stood up and said, "Let the joint cave in." By the way several (or old) members of the new Hand-kerchief Club were made, after they had proven that they were "mellow." Among those present were: Millard Williams, Halley Taylor, Billy Jarvis, George Murray, Eddie Moore, Sam Jackson, Percy Watts, Charles Parker, Freddie Davison, George Thornton Dennethe Harrod, Danny Goodrich, Willie Wynn, Lawrence Carter, Richard Leach, Clifton Bryant, Justin Plummer, Kenneth Bramwell, James Minor, George Banks, Levert Armstrong, Dorothy Smith Lunabelle Wedlock, Ursala Jackson, Gwendolyn Beret, Norma Murray, Earleen Luckett, Margurite Palmer, Eliza Chapman, and many other ladies who wouldn't disclose their identity because of some unknown reason. Maybe they weren't with their "regulars" or better than that, maybe they were holding up corners (the corners were dark tio). It certainly is too bad that James Overton can't find enough to write about over at Armstrong, Through carefully hidden help of Frefdie Davison (Dunbar) he has been "muscling in" on the Younger Set's territory (Dunbar). Funny how a drowning man will grab at the last straw isn't it? But we don't mind. We'll show Overton that we're for the Old Alma Mater, our Alma Mater. Anything that happens at Armstrong doesn't interest us enough to write about it, however, it takes all kinds of people to make a world and well do we know it! Good luck Overton- Ruth Owens is very anxious that we correct the error made last week in connection with her marriage. The name as printed was Ruth Scott but it was the well known Ruth Owens. Now I wonder what R. Martin is thinking? Imagine this! H. Pelham versus R. A. Alexander! Did they have it one day at the Armory door on First Street. From all reports Alexander won the decision. It was also reported that Pelham wrote one R. W. a six page love letter. In it was mentioned something about, "not being able to do without you," and so on. This wasn't ony heard either, this was taken from the letter itself. We understand that A. B. is getting E. M.'s armband instead of H. P. Have you noticed that Y. N. is sticking to B. J., for what reason we can't say. W. D. performed at a certain party with D. C. Look out C. F. Why can't R. S. go to a party without mother? Who is carrying who to the Junior Senior prom? Is L. A. and G. M. playing suckers for C. R. and J. T. Why did a certain bunch of girls crash the swimming meet on Monday? The depression dearie. Are we blued or do we see M. W. on D. A's frontsteps two Sundays ago. Look out, J. B. Pauline Hart, someone thinks you're very cute, so be careful. Mary Howard just won't keep her name out of the column. You know the Howard Theatre with Rip and etc. It seems as though one of the Hilltopters beat Rip's time sometime ago. Is Rip regaining territory? It seems as though R. A. insists on ranking himself over R. W. Some dame will have to stag to the Senior prom if certain girls stick to their armband methods. Whata mess. Two girls were expected to push dukes at Yvonne's party. Yes a boy was concerned. The quests anxious for a scrap were disappointed, although all three concerned lip battled it out they refrained from hair pulling. It seems as though H. M. believes in the open door policy. She MINERS ARE SHOT BY SOLDIERS AT MINE Negro Miners Shot Down in Labor Struggle; Communists Blamed By GAINES T. BRADFORD For the Associated Negro Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Alabama National Guardsmen were placed in charge of the Red Mountain mining sections Wednesday after a fierce clash between strikers and deputies in the area Tuesday night. Two Negroes were killed and six deputies were shot in the skirmish. The dead are W. H. Ford and George Bell, both striking miners, who were found beside the highway after deputies opened fire with a Thompson sub-machine gun into a crowd of miners. The deputete claimed that they were fired on from ambush while they were rushing into the area on a gasoline car. A group of miners, assembled along the highway leading into the Iskoodah mines was armed to the teeth, according to the deputete's story. One white miner was shot in the fray. Alen Hadden, white, a miner of the Woodward Company, received wounds in the leg but was not seriously injured. A reporter of the Birmingham World was forced to stop, after driving near the scene of the shooting by logs across the road. He was not fired upon, however, and after being recognized by the miners was allowed to turn around and come back to the city. He reported an orderly crowd blocking the roads to prevent anyone entering the area. Three colored men brought to Hillman Hospital for treatment stated that they were sitting on the railroad when a squad of deputies fired into their midst without warning. Those treated were James Marshall, Dan Mayfield, and Josh English. They all denied any participation in the alleged shooting by the deputies. Blame for the hostile attitude of packs 'em in every week-end. Believe us. Imagine Julia Brooks falling out U Street as late as eleven. With Blue Nose too. Friday night as usual foresaw another break up. This time Pauline Broughton and Dorsy Lane. M. A. seems to be out for an armband. We wonder if B. J. will be the sucker. You have to be a swimmer these days in order to get the ladies. Yes sir, Earnest Marshall is actually giving Squat Brooks his money's worth over Doris Coleman. Was Harriet Pelham's face red when Vinian Guild appeared upon the scene? Maybe Eddie forgot who he escorted. Why did Percy Watts lock him- self in the rest room? Miss Y's party was crashed by the Man (law to you) in search of W. Luck. The house orderly pleaded so until the Officer consented to drop the matter. Due to a typographical error this column mixed the J.L.C.'s club meeting with a party. We regret the error. Rodney and his ole lady just had us to break you good news. Yes they kissed and how. We would now like to sing "Are You Satisfied?" Owen Ridgely who is the lucky one? Is it Mildred Thurston, Helen West or Virginia Quivers? Why has a certain boy been nicknamed Bi-Swing? Dear Morris! I am writing for one or my best friends asking you to help her out. She has a boy friend who is quite popular and runs around all the time. That is he likes to have other girls and doesn't like for her to even look hard at some other boy. How should she treat him? Should she run around herself? I think you would know just how to answer this. Don't you? One of your Friends. Am I mortified? I will let my co-worker answer this, because of personal reasons. Dear Friend: Having in mind the partys to whom you refer, I would advise her to go to him and let him know that you don't mean anything by a friendly chat, but he must stop his running around. Probably she acts messy sometimes and no real man would stand for that over a period of time. She should trick as long as he does and when they both realize how foolish they are, they should stop their foolish ways and act accordingly. James Wood. This column will bring you Cab's interview next week. We didn't interview him until it was too late for the paper. Watch next week for results of all hops and latest news on the armband racket. Well, it's getting to be Reservoir time. We, Murray and Wood are going to keep you posted as to what goes on. Maybe you don't know it but more history is made in that lovers' haven than congress makes on Capitol Hill. As soon as the rain lets up the couples will begin. So watch this column for the latest flashes on what goes on un there. Quietness kept, we have the names of some who have been there already. Some of these folks just can't resist the call of love.

In the morning place in a deep pan and cover with water and boil slowly for about four hours. Remove the ham and save the water, as it gives a delicious flavor to greens or vegetables when used as the liquid to boil them in. Remove the rind from the ham and score in squares. Rub brown sugar into the fat and stick a clove into the center of each square. Bake in a moderate oven until brown, basting frequently with grape or pineapple juice. Lay a slice of ham in a casserole, cover with a cup and a half of sweet milk and sliced potatoes to the depth of about three inches. Bake until potatoes and ham are done.

Serve in cocktail glasses and decorate with fresh mint leaves. Use as a first course for luncheon or dinner. POT ROAST Purchase a cheap meaty cut of beef, 3 or 4 pounds in weight. Place 2 tablespoonfuls of lard or drip pings in a granite pot with close-fitting cover. Heat until smoking hot. Place the meat in the pot and sear on all sides until it is well browned. Add 1/2 cupful of vinegar, 1 cupful water, 4 or 5 bay leaves, 4 or 5 whole cloves, cover and simmer very slowly for 4 or 5 hours until tender. There should never be more water than sufficient to keep the meat from burning. When ready to serve, remove the meat, take the cloves and bay leaves from the liquid and thicken for gravy. As we use this pot roast, vegetables are never cooked in the pot with it as is the usual custom. Carrots and onions may be cooked separately and served with it. Fish Baked in Milk is Appetizing Sometimes the leaner fish, such as hallibut or haddock, seem a little dry after cooking in the usual ways. To avoid this, and also to enrich the dish by adding milk, the following recipe is recommended. The sliced onion enhances the flavor for most persons. If desired, evaporated milk, reconstituted in the usual way, may be used, or dried milk. The Ingredients 1 ½ pounds haddock or other jean fsh. 1 tablespoon flour 1 large onion sliced very thin $ \frac{3}{4} $ cup crushed crackers or bread crumbs $ 1 \frac{1}{4} $ cups milk Clean and wipe the fish with a damp cloth. Cut in pieces for serving and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and flour. Put the pieces of fish in a single layer in a shallow greased baking pan. Cover the fish with the onion and then sprinkle with the crushed crackers or bread crumbs. Add sufficient milk barely to cover. Bake in a moderate oven (350° F.) from 45 to 50 minutes. If the crackers or crumbs do not brown in that time, put the dish under the flame of the broiling oven. Stuffed Flank Steak Among the less tender, and therefore less expensive cuts of beef, which are best cooked slowly, are flank steak and either top or bottom round. A savory stuffing adds new flavor, making a stuffed and braised flank or round an interesting variation from the more usual ways of serving these cuts. If a part is left over, it will be good sliced cold. Flank steaks vary in weight. The larger the flank steak the better for stuffing. Do not let the butcher score a flank steak that is to be stuffed. Roll it from the side, not the end, so that the meat will be cut across the grain in carving. In selecting round steak for stuffing and braising, see that it is cut from the portion where muscles are large and relatively few in number. It is best when cut $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch to $ \frac{3}{4} $ inch thick. The stuffing given below will be equally good for either round or flank steak. 2 tablespoons butter or beef drippings Wipe the meat with a damp cloth. For the stuffing, brown the celery and the onion lightly in the fat and combine with the other ingredients. Spread the stuffing over the steak. Beginning at one side of the steak, roll it up like a jelly roll, and tie securely in several places with clean string. Sear in a small quantity of fat in a heavy skillet or a baking pan on top of the stove, and turn the meat frequently until browned on all sides. Slip a rack under the meat in the pan on top of the stove, and turn the meat in the pan, cover closely.

CAMEO FURNITURE CO. 600 4½ ST. N. W. S. C. SUTTON, Pres. NA. 4398 LOCAL PHARMACY IS SPOTLIGHT OF CONVENTION High Praise Given Ethical Pharmacy by Leading Men of Country The Ethical Pharmacy, 518 Florida Avenue, Northwest, owned and operated by Drs. Leo L. Williams and Lewis S. Terry, was thrown into the spotlight of a national reputation when the American Pharmaceutical Association held its 82nd annual convention here last week and dedicated its newly completed building, the American Institute of Pharmacy, at Twenty-second and Constitution Avenue. The convention sessions were held at the Shoreham Hotel President Mordecai W. Johnson, of Howard University, spoke at the opening session of the convention, and during the course of his talk made mention of the splendid work being done by the Ethical Pharmacy. The next day and on subsequent days, visitors here attending the convention began to pour into the "Ethical." They were all loud in their praises. Dr. Auten Hogstad, Jr., professor of pharmacy, at St. Louis University declared the "Ethical" to be the most ethical pharmacy in the country. Dr. J. A. Koch, dean emeritus of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Pittsburgh, the originator of Koch's Synthesis, a past president of the American Pharmaceutical Association, writer of textbooks, and one of the foremost organic chemists in the world stated that the Ethical Pharmacy is a realization of his dream of what may be accomplished along ethical pharmaceutical lines. Nothing but praise for the high-class set-up and operation of the "Ethical" was voiced by the other visitors, who included: Visitors Praise Store VISITORS PRAISE STORE Drs. J. H. Beal, of Fort Walton, Fla., former chairman of the American Pharmaceutical Association, and the instigator of the idea for an American Institute of Pharmacy back in 1912; Louis Emanuel, of the College of Pharmacy, the University of Pittsburgh, and former president of the Pennsylvania State Board of Pharmacy; C. A. Dye, dean of the College of Pharmacy at Ohio State University; Charles J. Fuhrmann, dean of Howard University School of Pharmacy; Robert C. Giffen of Washington, D.C.; C. L. Cox of the College of Pharmacy at Rutgers; Lucius L. Walton, president of the Pennsylvania State Board of Pharmacy; Louis Saalbach, professor of pharmacy at Pittsburgh College of Pharmacy, University of Pittsburgh; William H. Glover, president of Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, Boston; A. Kremens of the Abbott Laboratories, Philadelphia; Dean Smears of the College of Pharmacy of Western Reserve University, Kansas, and Everett J. Kendig, dean of Temple University School of Pharmacy. An ethical pharmacy is one which dispenses physicians' supplies and drugs only in prescriptions. The Ethical Pharmacy was organized in January 1930. It now has nine employees excluding the owners, three of whom are registered pharmacists. Both Drs. Terry and Williams are also registered pharmacists. STUDENT BODY STIRS UP STRIFE AT WILBERFORCE Resents Demotion of Prof. Gregg Who was Former Howard Teacher XENIA, Ohio (ANP)—Angered because the board of trustees of the combined normal and industrial department of Wilberforce University had allegedly demoted the superintendent, Howard Gregg, 800 students of the church and the state school, staged a riotous demonstration here Thursday morning. The students remained from their classes, formed groups, marched about the campus and shouted: "We want Gregg!" No physical damage was done to buildings or equipment, although the temper of some of the more radical students was plainly in favor of forceful expression. Prof. Gregg, by action of the state board, was made dean of education, and Carl Jenkins, business manager of the state departments, appointed acting superintendent. The students insisted that the advancement of the state school had been due to the competence of Prof. Gregg and that Mr. Jenkins was ill-equipped to hold up the standards set by Mr. Gregg. Prof. Gregg came to Wilberforce from Howard University two years ago. Dr. R. R. Wright, president of the university, was absent from the campus during the ruckus, attending the National Education Conference at Washington. Thursday afternoon, the students held a meeting at which they were addressed by Kenneth Tate, a senior student from Dayton. He is understood to be the main spring of the rebellion. Tate urged the students to return to their classes Friday, but to continue their protests against the action of the trustees in shifting Gregg. Present at the meeting was G. L. Harrison, a member of the trustee board. Mr. Harrison also urged them to return to their classes as a matter of policy. He assured them that Mr. Gregg is still their superintendent and that the board had not acted finally upon the recommendation to change his official designation. The students agreed to return to their classes. It appears that the action of the trustees was dictated by economy. It was proposed to combine the offices of superintendent and business secretary, placing Jenkins, present business manager, in the new combination office. Prof. Gregg, as an interested party, would not make any statement Thursday afternoon. Mr. Jenkins could not be reached. They Fly Chicago Aviators Plan Goodwill Flight to Tuskegee Institute CHICAGO (ANP)—Col. J. C. Robinson, of the local Military Order of Guards, and a noted aviator, left here Saturday for Detroit on an American Airways plane where he will complete plans with Captain C. R. Coffey for the mass formation trip to Tuskegee Institute on Friday morning, May 18. Efforts are being made to take three planes on the trip. Two planes are already scheduled to make the flight sponsored by the Challenger Air Pilots Association of Chicago, an all colored association. Along with Col. J. C. Robinson, Capt. Coffey, First Lieutenant Grover C. Nash, all government licensed pilots and commissioned in the Military Order of Guards, Aviation Division, will make the trip. To Fly Friday Leaving Chicago at 5 o'clock Friday morning, May 18, from Harlem Airport, 83rd Street and Harlem Avenue, the schedule for the trip is as follows: First stop at Evanville, Ind, for refueling. Wind and weather accounted for, the flyers should arrive at Evanville in two and a half hours. From Evanville they will fly to Nashville, Tenn., in about two hours, and from Nashville to Birmingham, Ala., and thence to Montgomery where they will stay on Friday night. Saturday morning, May 19, they will leave Montgomery to arrive at the institution founded by Booker T. Washington about noon. The tour is being made to promote interest in aviation among colored people and predicts an increase in the number of members of the race who will eventually take up flying, both as a commercial enterprise and as a means of keeping up with changing times and modes.
