Gun Slaying Laid to Argument Over Small Debt:
Killer Sought
Police are combing the city for Frank Smith, formerly of 742 Nineteenth Street, Northeast, following a verdict of the coroner's jury at an inquest at the District Morgue. Tuesday. Smith is wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of Raymond Harton, at the latter's home, 812 Fourth Street, Northwest, Saturday.
Horton, according to witnesses, was slain following an argument over a debt of thirty cents, he is said to have owed Smith. The shooting occurred in the rear room of the home of Mrs. Mayme Andrews.
The latter testified that she did not know anyone was in the house with Horton until after the shooting had taken place. She then ran to the front of the house to see a man whom she could not identify disappearing out of the door.
Brother Saw Killer Flee
Harry Worsley, brother of Mrs. Andrews, declared that he looked out of the front window and saw Smith leap the fence and run across the street. Rushing to the rear room he stated, he found Horton lying on the floor with 3 gunshot wounds in his head and neck.
Headquarters Detective C. C. Strange told the coroner's jury that Horton in a dying statement had identified Smith as his assailant, the injured man gasping out information about the debt and the ensuing argument.
Mrs. Daisy Williams, 18 years old, living at the Nineteenth Street address, declared that, Smith ran into the house Saturday afternoon, crying "I've shot a man." Throwing a revolver on the table, Smith according to Mrs. Williams, told her to empty the barrel and hide it. He then left the house not waiting to take any of his clothes, and has not been seen since. Instead of doing as the man had bid, Mrs. Williams called police and, reporting the incident, turned the weapon over to them.

Supreme Court Justice Respects White Property Owners' Covenant
Mrsfl Dorothy Douglas is required to move and restrained from further occupancy of the premises at 1115 Lamont Street, Northwest, in an order signed by Justice Jennings Bailey, in District Supreme Court, early this week. The order calls for removal of her belongings from the house by tomorrow (Friday).
Issuance of the decree is the latest development in the injunction proceedings instituted by Attorney Henry Gilligan in behalf of signers of a covenant prohibiting the sale of property in Lamont Street between Eleventh and Thirteenth Streets to Negroes, Charles H. and Vena Hall, Eva L. and Walter Chadwick, and Frederick and Anna Nortleet, of 1117, 1118 and 1213 Lamont Street respectively, are named as the complainants.
Moved in Last May
Mrs. Douglas, according to the bill of complaint, purchased the house from George W. Jacobs, brother of Mrs. Adele Cook, 4104 Leland Street, Chevy Chase, Md. Mr. Jacobs is holder of the deed to the property through conveyance, the property being owned by Mrs. Cook. The purchase was completed sometime prior to May 9, the date on which Mrs. Douglas moved into the Lamont Street address from her home at 654 Girard Street, Northwest.
The plaintiffs in seeking the injunction against the transfer of ownership to Mrs. Douglas or any other colored person, cite a covenant, purported to have been drawn up and signed on December 29, 1925. The clause specified as the one which has been violated by Mrs. Cook and her brother reads (Continued on page 10)

Whites of Town Sought to Drive Family Away From Home
GLEN RIDGE, N. J.—About fifteen years ago when Dr. and Mrs. William H. Sutjherland bought a manicific estate in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, the white citizens of that very exclusive town sought to prevent their taking up residence there.
In the beginning their children were not warmly welcomed in the schools, but today congratulations are pouring in upon Dr. and Mrs. Sutherland and their charming daughter, Miss Muriel Sutherland, from the same white citizens who tried to prevent their living in Glen Ridge. And those congratulations are due to the fact that Muriel, the first colored student to graduate from Glen Ridge High School, graduated as valedictorian of a class of 103.
Her record was so outstanding that on several occasions the school authorities, including the principal, the superintendent schools, and members of the board of edu-

Victim of Auto Accident Dies of Injuries
James Mitchell, 26, of the 1400 block of C Street, Southeast, died in Gallinger Hospital from injuries received in an automobile accident Friday.

cation, have had occasion to write to the parents commending the excellent work of their daughter. More than once she has received highest honors, her ratings have been characterized as among the highest ever seen by several of the school authorities.
A split in the ranks of the Masonic order of the District loomed threateningly this week and will reach a climax on next Wednesday when the grand lodge and the Order of the Eastern Star meet in joint session.
The break between the grand lodge and the women's auxiliary came about as a result of an attempt by the men to purchase the Masonic Temple, Tenth and U Streets, once the property of the order.
Women Are Through
The women maintain that they have sunk in the neighborhood of $75,000 in the building and they do not propose to put any more into the structure. On the other hand some of the men have a plan to repurchase the temple at a cost of about $225,000
The grand lodge is of the opinion that the building can be purchased with the help of the women. On the other hand the women say they are willing to help the men finance a smaller building, but the proposed plan to buy the temple is out of the question as their treasury is almost depleted and one strong lodge is back in its rent at the Scottish Rite Temple, on Eleventh Street where the Masons and Eastern Star are now holding meetings.
Cost $1,000 a Month
It has been pointed out that it will cost $1,000 a month to buy the temple and funds for the plan cannot be secured. It was also said that fuel and light alone for one winter at the temple cost $2,500. The women are said to have been threatened with suspension if they fail to go through with the plan, but the Eastern Star officers counter with the statement that it is not within the power of the grand (Continued on Page 3)
Harry "Weak Knees" Arrested; Is Connected With Counterfeit Ring
Pair Said to Be "Passers" for White Men Who Are Brains of Money Gang
WASHINGTON FLOODED WITH SPURIOUS NOTES
Two Nabbed by Secret Service Agents After Wait of 10 Days
Harry (Weak Knees) Wells, 25, well known man about town, and Samuel Stevenson, 26, were arrested by Federal agents this week on suspicion of distributing counterfeit money for an alleged ring of white higher ups.
This section of the country has been flooded recently with spurious $5 and $10 bank notes, the United States Secret Service revealed Tuesday night.
White Men Leaders
Skill with which the spurious money is made and distributed has convinced investigators that leaders of the ring are white men working always in the background from their hidden headquarters here.
In every city where the false money has been found the Secret Service men learned that colored men were always those who did the actual passing of the bills. The investigators discovered that "higher-ups" in the ring are selling the counterfeit notes for one-third of their face value.
A veritable flood of the false money has descended on small merchants on the outskirts of Washington in the past few weeks. Seeking the source of this money, Secret Service men 10 days ago sought to arrest Wills and Stevenson on Bladensburg Road near the District Line.

Trial Board Recommends Dismissal of Officers on Colored Man's Charge
Two white policemen, J. R. LeFoe and Henry L. Woods, both well known in the apprehension of Negroes, were recommended for dismissal by the Police Trial Board following a hearing on charges of "conduct prejudicial to the good order, reputation and discipline of the Metropolitan* Police Department," it was learned by the Tribune late Wednesday. The verdict of the Trial Board was handed down Tuesday night.
Inspector L. L. H. Edwards, in charge of the department's personnel, told the Trebune that the charges grew out of alleged extortion activities on the part of the two officers in November. He stated that the officers have five days from the date of the decision in which to note an appeal.
LeFoe and Woods were brought before the police disciplinary body on the accusation of Wayne B. King, a colored man, whom the two uniformed men are said to have accepted a bribe of $10 on a promise that they would not prosecute him on a traffic charge.

Senator Capper Urges Low Cost Housing for Alley Dwellers
Adequate and sanitary housing must be provided for occupants of dwellings eliminated by the alley closing law, Senator Arthur Capper (Republican), of Kansas, warned again Friday in a statement in which he proposed that the District Commissioners employ their licensing authority to prevent alley dwelling owners from stopping the program by holding their property for too high prices.
High praise of the alley dwelling closing law was voiced by Senator Capper.
Breeds Crime
"These hidden communities breeding crime, vice and disease, have been subject of numerous campaigns by well-meaning persons to clean them up or clean them out," the Senator said.
"It is not reasonable to expect that these people can pay more than a very low rent. They must be provided with homes costing little, if any more than present accommodations. I believe this would be a good investment in future citizenship and would reduce the enormous costs which District taxpayers are meeting every year for the detection and correction of criminals, for the treatment of disease and for the care of a large number of juvenile delinquents.
Hits High Prices
"Elimination of the alleys will not automatically wipe out crime and disease, but will go a long way toward improving conditions in which crime and disease flourish. I certainly hope the Commissioners will take prompt and effective action to curb the desire of owners

He said an attempt was made to steal the machine but failed when a safety lock on the steering wheel of the car couldn't be broken.
Lucian Smith, 45, died Wednesday night of injuries received in an explosion at the Sylvania Industrial Plant, Sunday. He is survived by a wife and four children.
By THOMAS F. BUSHROD
FREDERICKSBURG Va.— One person is dead and 14 were treated in the Mary Washington Hospital as a result of an explosion in the Sylvania Industrial Corporation plant, one and one-half miles south of one here shortly after 8 o'clock Sunday morning. The dead man is Medwyn Tyler, 21, of Snell, Va. who was a freshman at Union University, Richmond, Va. and a graduate of the Fredericksburg Normal and Industrial Institute.
Body Mangled
Although mangled by the explosion, Tyler remained conscious until a few hours before death. Officials of the plant immediately placed armed guards around the plant fearful that business rivals would take advantage of the tragedy to learn the secret process used by the corporation in the manufacture of sylprat, a form of cellophane. The cause of the blast is a complete mystery. Over 600 persons were in the plant at the time of the explosion.

Charged with stabbing his 9-year-old daughter in the stomach with a knife, Charles Jefferson, 33, 462 Virginia Avenue Southwest, was held for the action of the grand jury Monday morning when arranged before Judge Gus A. Schuld under a bond of $100. The small girl Florence, was recently brought to Washington from the south. She keeps house for her father and the two live alone. According to the father, who is represented by Attorney J. Flipper Derricotte, the charge is a frame-up and is credited to two women who allegedly objected to the girl living with the man. Jefferson claims the cutting was an accident and the girl is said to be incorrigible. She was treated at Emergency Hospital for stab wounds in the hip and right arm.
3,000 Hear Chorus of 400at Washington Auditorium
PICK OF LOCAL ARTISTS HEARD IN MUSICAL CONCERT
Brilliant Performance Thrills Large and Colorful Crowd
Over 3,000 heard the pre-congress concert at the Auditorium Tuesday night when a chorus of some 400 voices rendered a program prior to the opening of the twenty-sixth annual session of the National Sunday School and B.Y. P.U. Congress.
The singers, the pick of Washington Baptist churches, have been rehearsing for a period of several weeks. The ever popular "Deep River," by Burleigh: "Listen to the Lamb", by Dett, and Hallelujah Chorus by Handel received the greatest applause. The National Anthem by Johnson, the opening number was well executed and de lightfully rendered.
The Dixie Harmonies, a quartet of radio artist s, sang several spirituals which were well received. The group consisted of J. Stanley Brooks, first tenor; Frederick L. Slade, baritone; J. Oberton Holmes second tenor, and Louis C. Minor, bass; They were accompanied by Douglass K. Fickling. This quartet is heard over Station WMAL every Tuesday and Friday at 8:15 p. m.
Two violin selections were rendered by J. Richmond Johnson. Miss Irene McKissick was no doubt one of the outstanding artists on the program. Her rendition of "The Kiss," by Arditi, called for several encores. She has a saprano voice of unusual quality and range.
A reading, "The Gypsy Flower, was well executed by Mildred C. Maviritte in costume.
Levington E. Smith sang "Because" which showed to advantage his deep baritone voice while J. Wesley Dorgsey, tenor, was forced to take several curtain calls when he sang "As We Part." The program was late starting and lasted until after 11 p.m.
It was unfortunate that the varbers lengthened the programious intermissions between num-ous such a long time. Many left before "The Star Spangled Banner" was sung which created some confusion by the noise of many walking from the auditorium.

STRIKE CASE
ATLANTA, Ga. (ANP)—The Regional Labor Board here Monday took under advisement the case concerning the strike of the Negro employees of the Britling Cafeterias in Birmingham, Ala.

as follows:
“...do hereby mutually covenant, promise and agree each with the other, and for their respective heirs and assigns, that no part of the land owned by the parties hereto ... shall ever be used or occupied by or sold, conveyed, leased, rented or given to Negroes or any person of the Negro race or blood. This covenant shall run with the land and bind the respective heirs and assigns of the parties hereto for the period of ten years from and under the date of December 29, 1925.”
Colored in Block
The covenant was not signed by persons owning the house, 1110, which has since been sold and is now occupied by colored persons; 1120, in which white people live; 1208, also occupied by white, and an apartment house containing 12 residences which house colored people.
Attorneys Howard and Hayes, representing Mr. Jacobs and Mrs. Cook, pointed out in their answer to the bill of complaint and prayer for injunction that their clients had been "tricked" into signing the covenant. E. C. Totten, 1121 Lamont Stree, it is charged, assured Mrs. Cook that she would not be bound in the event all the occupants of the section did not sign the covenant. Unless one-hundred per cent of the signatures were obtained, they assert he held out to their client, the signature of the owner of premises 1115 would not be used.

the covenant had been defeated by the changing conditions in the Columbia Heights section where the property under dispute is situated. The exodus of Negroes to the vicinity had wrecked all hopes of white property owners to restrict colored migration. The fact that the apartment house had been occupied by Negroes for a period of one-and-a-half years was only one of the many illustrations of the futility of the purpose of the covenant they averred in effect. Attorneys Canfield and Canfield, representing Mrs. Douglas, declared that she was within her rights as a citizen, and that similar covenants had not been upheld by the highest courts in this jurisdiction. They cited several cases as parallels. They also collaborated with attorneys for the original owner in the assertion that the purpose of the covenant had been defeated.

Elwood Robinson, of Section 7B-7, a pupil of Miss N. L. Butcher, won first place in the essay contest held recently by the Daughters of the American Revolution. His essay on "What the American Flag Meant in 1777 and What it Means Today" was judged best of all entries sent in by the junior high schools of Divisions 10-13. Acceptance of the plaque, on behalf of the school, from the Daughters of the American Revolution was by C. Smith Wormley, principal. A letter from Mrs. C. C. Pennington, of the D.A.R., was read by Mrs. F. L. Toms. An address on the American Flag centerring around the foundation of our government on correct political principles which lead to place and prosperity was delivered by Lieut. Thomas H. R. Clarke. G. C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, was present.

The responses on behalf of the senior class were made by Annie, Ruff, president, and Guy Knorl. Class fortunes were dispensed by Maurice Johnson, assisted by Lelia Liverpool and Gretchen Hurley. As tokens of appreciation, letters were read by John Spriggs and Nellie Settles that willed to the incoming students those standards of Courtesy, Courage and Character which many of this year's graduates exemplify.
Group songs and yells, under the leadership of Levington Smith, contributed melody and merriment. Miss Muriel Milton and Mrs. I. C. Malvan were in charge of the program, with the entire faculty acting as hosts and hostesses.

Baseball to Vie With Picnicking Sports at Bailey's Park Sunday; LeDroit Tigers Make Fourth Team For Double Diamond Attraction
The final touches were put on the Colesville Athletic Club's preparations for the four-team baseball attraction, scheduled as the feature of the All Day Outing and Picnic at Bailey's Park, Colesville, Md., Sunday, early this week.
The LeDroit Tigers were signed, late last week, by Doug Smith, president of the Colesville organization, as the fourth team to participate in the day's diamond engagements. Participation of the Hillsdales, Anacostia and the Colesville Tigers was also assured.

Anacostia and the Colesville Tigers
According to the program as outlined by Mr. Smith, the 'Dales will represent LeDroit Park, from whence they hail, against the Anacostia Athletics, in the opening tilt. The second encounter will bring together the Tigers from the same LeDroit Park and the Tigers of Colesville, the latter Montgomery County champions of 1933.
In addition to the baseball game, outing officials are planning the staging of a "Baseball Throwing Contest" for women, a "Fat Man's Race" and other novel features of pickin'
Both Anacostia and the Hilldales have defeated the Colesvilleans. Both teams have impressive records, the Southeasterners having vied with the LeDroit Parkers in the matter of scores in several games against the same teams beaten by the 'Dales. They have not met before this season, the last time they opposed each other being the 3-2 10-inning decision enjoyed by the Hildales during the lattr stages of the Tribune Round Robin Baseball Tournament last fall.
The first clash of the 1934 season has been awaited with renewed interest by followers of both factions.
The Maryland Tigers, although tripped by each of the other two teams, face new opposition in the LeDroit Jungle Cats. The former have shown decided improvement in their most recent contests, and Manager Willie Braxton is gradually gaining confidence in the new line-up that has resulted from the loss of Russell, his star flinger. The LeDroit Tigers will be making their first local appearance under the leadership of Sherman Taylor, who was elevated to the position of manager following the deposition of Lefty George Smith, early last week.
Pinic plots are being laid out for those Washingtonians desiring to make a day of it in the nearby Maryland suburb, according to Mr. Smith's announcements. Maryland fried chicken will be available as will a host of other delicacies provided for the benefit of the parties which do not elect to prepare lunches. Colesville can be reached following a pleasant drive out Georgia Avenue to the Silver Spring traffic light, thence to the right and into Colesville via the Pike, where a sign denoting a turn to the park will be found.
Colored Fighters Prepped Baer For Title Win
ASBURY PARK, N.J. (ANP)—Larry Johnson, and Seal Harris of Chicago, punch absorbers, are being given credit for the fine condition of Max Baer, winner of the world's heavyweight boxing title from Primo Carrera last week at Madison Square Garden, New York. Johnson and Harris forgot that Max was paying them off and pounded their boss' kidneys and features with much abandon, on doubt spurred on by the knowledge that as far as fighting for the title, their own chances were nil.

An. Cubs Win Over Braves
Southeast Warriors Blanked by Gartley's Outfit
Tip Gartley's Anacostia Cubs visited the Sixth and K Streets, Southeast, diamond last Sunday afternoon, met and defeated the Washington Braves in a game that at first held promise of a pitchers' duel, but later developed into a romp for the visitors. The Anacostians finished on the long end of a 15-0 score. The winners jumped on the offerings of Corby, Brave ace, in the fifth inning, and with 11 batters facing him before he was able to retire the side, the losing finger saw 8 runs pushed across the pan. Simpson and Anderson contributed 6 hits between them, one more than was acquired by the entire Brave batting order.

BASEBALL TITLE WON BY GENERAL NINE,5-2
Final Game Finds Armstrong Victorious Over Ancient Dunbar Rivals
Although they experienced plenty of trouble with the pitching of ferings of Harry Davis, youthful spindle-legged ace of the Dunbar pitching staff, the youngsters of the Armstrong Technical High School diamond aggregation walked off with the 1934 honors in the South Atlantic and City conference baseball series. The Poets were conquered, 5-2 in the final game between the traditional high school rivals, at the Walker Stadium, last Friday afternoon.
Young Davis, touched for 3 runs in the opening inning when Calvin Clark, captain of the Orange and Blue outfit, slammed a home-run to deep center with two mates aboard. Undaunted, however, the lad remained on the hill for the Jacobmen and turned back Tech sluggers with apparent ease. He was nicked for 2 runs later in the game, but these were contributions for his teammates. Two errors played an important part in the negotiations of these additional tallies.
The Crimson and Black lads were completely out of the running. Some poor base-running as well as some misdirected base-coaching sent several scoring opportunities drifting up in smoke, but the Dunbar outfit continued to fight. Odds against them, they were untimely forced to accept defeat.
The Generals, playing good defensive ball behind, Lawson, ace of the Orange and Black staff, found the going a little shaky until they were able to manipulate the final 2 scores. At no time during the series, with the sole exception of Cardozo's victory over them, did the Westmoreland-coached crew find itself so closely pressed as when the Poets pushed over single runs in two separate innings to trail by a 2-3 margin. Davis employed a deceptive curve he seemed to have been saving for this final game, in baffling the Generals. Lawson, on the other hand, relied on his fast ball, which he kept on the corners of the plate just out of reach of ambitious rival sluggers.
ANACOSTIA SPLITS WITH ORIENTAL TIGER NINE
Southeast Outfit Grabs Nightcap After Dropping Opening Clash, 9-6
Dropping the first game by a score of 9-6, the Anacostia Athletics returned to eke out a 5-4 decision over the Oriental Tigers' baseball team, in a double-header at Second and S Streets, Southwest, the latter's diamond, last Sunday afternoon.
It remained for Shuffling Ossie Stewart, curve-ball artist of the Anacostians, to stem the tide of the Oriental, after two of his staffmates had failed. Bill Reed, touched for a total of 11 hits, had lost the decision in the opener, and in the nightcap, the Jungaleers had jumped on the offerings of Beverly in the third inning to net a total of 3 runs.
Stewart was rushed in to the rescue of the latter and held the Tigers to a lone tally the rest of the route. Russell and Adams collaborated on the mound for the Southwest outfit, and between them fanned a total of 20 batters in the two contests.
Al Ball's 3 hits in the opening and his pair of safe blows in the final establishment him as the leading figure in the individual batting column.

Odd Sox Claim Win Over Willow Tree A. C.
Vista, Md.—The Maryland Odd Sox are claiming a forfeiture from the Willow Tree A. C. baseball team for failure of the latter to place a team on the field for the scheduled game between the two last Sunday afternoon.
Joe Wilson, manager of the Sox, states the umpire awarded a forfeit decision of 9-0 against the Trees.
Upsets marked the first round of play in the Royal Club's Annual Spring Invitational Golf Tournament being played over the Lincoln Memorial Golf Course, last Sunday. Not only did young Richard Harris, whose scorching 61 led qualifiers the Sunday before, taste defeat, but two of the most outstanding favorites in the affair were eliminated by literally unknown golfers. Besides Richard Harris's trimming at the hands of James Warren, followers of the tourney were startled at the story of the defeat of Dr. George W. Adams, 1933 champion, at the hands of Solomon Person. And then when Jimmie Williams, holder of many championships including the national amateur, walked in on the short end of his match with Reuben Brooks, veterans and newcomers alike were "ready for picking."
Neither Warren, with his qualifying round of 67; Brooks, with his 71, nor Person with his 71, were considered dangerous contenders. And they were certainly not expected to surmount such obstacles as presented by Harris, Adams and Williams.
Brooks's victory, however, must have taken something from him, as he went down in defeat to William Carter in his second round of play. Carter took the measure of his opponent by a score of 3 up and 2 to play, to enter the semi-finals Sunday.
The Results are:
Brooks and Williams, 1 up; Car-
The results are:
Brooks d., Williams, 1 up; Carter d., Booth, 3 and 2; Scott d., White, 1 up; R. Harris d., Bethea, 2 and 1; Warren d., Davis, 3 and 2; erson d., Adams, 2 up; A. R. Harris d., Craig, default; Proctor d., Alexander, 3 and 2.
Carter d., Brooks, 2 and 1; Scott d., Proctor, 4 and 3; Warren d. Harris, 1 up; A. R. Harris d. Person, 1up.

Semi-finalists—Leach, King, and Roy.

The semi-final pairings are: Scott vs. Warren; Carter vs. A. R. Harris.
AZTECS IN DEBUT ON COLESVILLE DIAMOND
Southwest Aggregation Returns Home for Meeting with Georgetow n.A.C.
The Georgetown Athletics will meet the Aztec A.C. nine in the first appearance of the latter in Washington this season. The teams are slated to oppose each other in a twin-bill at Jackson's Park, Coleville, Md., Sunday. A double-headed will begin at 1:30 o'clock.
The Aztecs have just returned from a tour of the South, during which they established an enviable record. Campaigning as the Royal Aztecs, the southwest outfit, under the leadership of Strawberry Butler played in Roanoke, Va., High Point, Wilmington, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and a number of other North Carolina towns.
Georgetown, though remaining at home, has also built up an outstanding reputation for the season. Only two games have been lost by the Dorsey clan, testimony which strongly supports their claim to the District title, won in the Washington Tribune Round Robin Tournament, last year.
Bus Frazier and Virgil Coates will in all probability be the mound choices of the west-end management. Jimmie Price, Aztec south-paw who has been going well on the southern trip, is sure to oppose the Georgetowners in one of the two games.
The world's first system of post offices and post roads was established about 550 B.C., by Cyrus the Elder, King of Persia, but the first post office for the general pub-

Dark-hosed Outfit is Winner Despite Superior Hitting of Opponents
MALCOLM, Md.—Though outhit by a score of 12-11, the Washington Black Sox took the measure of the D.C. Cubs in a single game, at Gliorietta Park, here last Sunday afternoon. Sterling defensive work, in support of Richardson, meant much in the victory of the dark-hosed clan. The Sox won because they were able to push across a half-dozen tallies on their 11 hits while the visitors were making 4 runs out of their dozen safeties, the final count being 6-4. Crawley, of the Sox, and Mitchell, Cub player, were the individual batting heroes of the affair. Each got a total of 3 hits for their day's efforts.

Star N. C. Nine to Make Washington Appearance
The Winston-Salem Black Sox, cream of semi-pro baseball teams in and around the Carolinas, have been booked for an appearance in Washington during their northern tour next month. The Sox will engage the Hillsdale A. C., so far this season the leading diamond aggregation operating on local sandlots. Promoters of the affair plan to make the clash between the two outstanding outfits, the feature attraction of an interesting outdoor program. A watermelon eating contest, a pie-eating contest and a chicken race will be the added features of the program. The American League Baseball Park has been secured for July 8, for the occasion.

Maryland Nine Beaten by Butler's Homer in 1st; 6 Runs Wins Finale
VISTA, Md.—The fast stepping Maryland Odd Sox were twice beaten to the issue by diminutive Ralph Dorsey's champion Georgetown Athletics in the former's park, here Sunday afternoon. The Sox went down, 4-3 in the initial seto and then felt the sting of the 1933 Tribune Round Robin Tournament winners' attack in the 6-inning nightcap, 8-3.
Ott Butler's home-run in the ninth inning broke a 3-all deadlock and gave the visitors the verdict in the first game. The Athletics had seen an early lead spent when the Marylanders tallied once in their seventh and twice in their eighth. Butler's clout, however, put an end to the battle.
A 15-hit barrage spelled the doom of the local outfit in the nightcap. The contest was a pitching duel between Matthews and Thomas with the team playing on even terms until the sixth and final inning. Georgetown then proceeded to unleash her batting power, and before the side was retired, 6 of the Dorseymen had crossed the pentagon.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. (ANP)—In what will probably be the greatest assembly of cinder path stars since the tenth Olympiad held in Los Angeles in 1932, will be offered in the National Collegiate Athletic Association at the Olympic coliseum on June 22 and 23.
Negro athletes that have warranted recognition all during the year have been invited by the University of Southern California, sponsors of the meet this year. And by saying "Negro athletes," enough fervor and anticipated exotement is inserted in the meet, knowing that such tracksters as Ralph Metcalfe, the Marquette meteor, Willis Ward, the high scoring ace, Howard Spencer and Jimmy LuValle, and probably others of the race will be present to dispense their wares in speedy competition.

NORFOLK, Va.—The crack Hillsdale A.C., of Washington, D.C., felt the lash of the Berkley Black Sox in a 3-game series played between the two teams, at Baker Field, this city, Saturday and Sunday of the past week-end. The Capital Cityans were forced to taste defeat in two of the three games, dropping the Saturday tilt, 2-1 and then being blanked in the nightcap of the Sabbath twin-bill, 2-0.

Hammond Holds Slugging Virginians to 5 Hits; Elks' Streak Snapped
ARLINGTON, Va. — Pitching shutout ball for 8 innings, Hammond, Washington Pirate flinger, administered the first defeat of the season on their home grounds to the Pride of Arlington Elks, here last Sunday afternoon. The visitors walked off with a 2-1 verdict, the losers managing to score in the final frame.
Five scattered bingles were all the horned representatives were able to gather off the offerings of the Buc pitcher. One of the two errors committed by his teammates played its part in the lone Arlington score, a pinch batter whose roller was fumbled being the Elk guilty of denting the pan.

Petersburg Prepares for Southeast Tourney
PETERSBURG, Va.—Preparations for the tenth annual Southeastern Open Tennis Tournament to be held at Virginia State College July 30 to August 4 inclusive, are rapidly moving forward, as officials of the institution and of the Virginia Tennis Association pledge themselves to make this year's meet surpass all previous events in the caliber of tennis played, and in the number of players of national prominence entered, and in brilliance and equipment of co-
The loss of Saturday's game can be attributed to the wobbly support offered Smoke Levi, 'Dale ace, whose mound performance was easily the outstanding feat of the entire series. Levi hurled splendidly and deserved a better fate. Errors paved the way for both the runs by the locals.
Runt White, star second baseman, just off the bus from Wilberforce University, was the chief offender in this respect. His two miscues were the factors which gave life to runners who later crossed the pan.
The first Sunday game saw a vindication of both the players mentioned above. White's single with the bases loaded sent the visitors out in front in the game which they eventually won, and Levi returned to the mound to hold the Sox at bay after Spike Bland, hit free throughout, was removed for a pinch-runner.
The final game of the series proved to be a pitchers' duel between Joe Wheeler, Hillsdales' spitballer, and Eddie Thomson. The failure of the visitors to solve the deceptive change of pace of the latter gave him the decision. Only 1 hit was gotten off him. Wheeler, likewise, pitched superb ball, giving up a total of 3 hits, and watching the verdict being snatched from his hands by the faulty play of his mates.

Two Lads from Los Angeles' Colored Settlement Triumph Over Host of White Contestants in Times Newspaper's Zone Finals
RIVERSIDE, Cal.—Two colored youths, whose homes are located in Watts, a Negro settlement in Los Angeles, won the seventh annual Junior Pentathlon Zone Finals, sponsored by the Los Angeles Times newspaper, here last Saturday afternoon. The two lads will be sent to the International Pentathlon Finals, slated to be held at Mexico City, Mexico, on August 4.
Now that school is over we find ourselves with plenty of time on our hands. This column would be very thankful to all of you who send or phone information to the writer, so as to keep the old band box playing. The editors will be kept pretty busy trying to get enough news for you to talk about this summer. Any way don't forget to give us a ring sometime, and maybe come up to see me sometime.
What happened to that ten-round scrap that was scheduled between Ruth Alexander and Harrett Pelham? Miss Alexander sent her man's hop was almost fair. Many tain who strolled slightly, but politely to the senior prom with Ada Deans. Who did Mark Chapman bring?
Imagine Anabelle Jones and Albert Raymond at the senior prom together. We heard that Eliza Chapman's hop was almost decent. Many kids went out to the party but returned with "Just another hop".
The T. B. Y's are giving a private picnic to Sparrows Beach this Saturday morning at 9:39. The group is going to meet at the home of Thelma King. Private cars are to carry the guests to the happy hunting grounds, (are they going to hunt)?
Another picnic is going to the country as guests of Marguerite Pearson on Wednesday evening. This is going to be a moonlight air. Let's hope the gals don't let moonstruck.
Something that is very beneficial to our Younger Set happened last week at the home of Talmadge Brown. The Don Juans, a newly organized club consisting of nine upright, honest and lovable boys, will try to entertain you in the future with a dance and other enjoyable forms of fun. The next meeting will be held at the Tribune Office this Friday night. Now boys don't forget the two bits.
Several weeks ago we wrote an article on the armband racket, but next week we shall write a special article entitled, "This Picnic Racket".
Earl Hyman and Dorothy Chavis were seen with another couple (who wanted us to keep their names a secret) buying up the cannonette.
Will someone get Arthur Gambrel wise to himself. He was seen with an officer's uniform on after the prom last week
B. Snowden is scheduled to throw a swinger next week. This column will be represented, be careful. Next week we will have full details on the picnics and parties. The new president of the S.S.S.'s Cecelia Penny. The club seems to be coming .back on its feet Pauline Broughton has become a member of the club.
AUTO STRIKES GIRL
While visiting with relatives in the Southwest section, little five year-old Geraldine Parker, of the 400 block of Ridge Street, Northwest, received a broken leg and cuts about the head when struck by a car last week, in the 400 block of Third Street, Southwest. The girl was detained at Providence Hospital for treatment Ralph M. Lane, 24, white, of Euclid Street, Northwest, is said by police to have been the driver of the machine which struck Geraldine.
While swimming in the Eastern Branch of the Potomac at the end of Half Street, Southwest, Phillip L. Douglas, 17, of 1515 Quander Street, Southeast, was drowned on Wednesday afternoon. The companions of the youth were unable to reach him as he called for help, apparently the victim of cramps. The body was located three hours later by Harbor police.

Hi—De—Ho—Everybody. This is your favorite program over the International News System's outlet, Station W.T.O. (Washington Tribune Office) bringing you the latest and most humorous news in an interesting manner. Many letters have been sent to this column for advice and we are happy to answer them for our many readers.
Caroline looked sad when Steve W. did not put in his appearance. Thomas Warren and Lee Skipper had their eyes on one fair looking girl. Was Rose Wallace looking for that bow-legged friend of hers? Wayman N. was jibing a tall long-legged-legged broad (I.T.) in the stand. Joe Fendrick wore out the stadium looking for Marian (Rough House). Florence Jackson, a pretty fair looking Dunbar co-ed, wore an armband with the initials E. F. on it. The Dancing Ladies wore soldier suits at the drill. Music was furnished by Aruna Tildon and his Rythm Breakers. Poor Francis Hall stood guard over the stars and stripes. Ruby Jenkins and a "Whisonant" kept an eye open for W. B. "Kentucky Joe" Elmore strutted to the third place company of Tech. Why did Tracy fight up on the reservoir before the drill? Did he see defeat coming?
Did you know that a certain popular club (The Rondaliers) have made quite a name for themselves since their "One Night Cabaret" recently? Someone calls Spider Jefferson "Tarzan" and members of the club (his mates) What-aname? Is it true that John Hunter is interested in Julius Sprow? It's romance, yas-suh! Why did a certain cadet captain (J. J.) order his armband so late? Did he wish to keep it a secret? At a party recently, B. J. was forced to kiss his mate (Pearl-Greene) in that old fashioned spin-the-bottle tournament. Sir Walter Raleigh escorted Lady Marie home after an evening of fun at the Suburban Gardens, a short while ago.
Why is E. Smith angry with E. Mills? We wonder if Tech's fast greyhound is the cause. Why did Paul Russell have his car full of girls and boys around the reservoir recently? We noticed the Three Musketeers were along. Is Viola Ware as crazy about Buck Covington as she used to be? I guess that Elizabeth Smith will get a break now, since Norman Fickling has stopped his track training. Is Frances Coats crazy about Leonard Taylor or is she just jibbing? Can't Ernestine Fletcher see that Harold Hyman is not robbing cradles. Wake up child! We noticed Mattie Barnes and James "Michaux" Williams walking up Sixteenth Street with ease on a Sunday. Why doesn't Ralph Gill wake up, can't you see Lucille Felder rushing thy neighbor?
We wish to announce for the benefit of our Anacostia patrons and readers we have selected the help of Bob Lewis, as our correspondent over there. Bob is a good writer and we are sure he will give you the best of service.
Why did E. M. cling to R. F. recently? It is rumored that John Miller is going to marry Dorothy Fagin after school closes. Is it true? For a good program on Sundays tune in your radio to the General Broadcasting Company's Washington Outlet, Station WOL and listen to the Dixie Reveries.

Most Amazing Proof

Greatest Tire Firestone Has Ever Made

'Round and 'round the blistering track they streaked, hour after hour, under the blazing sun . . . the low moan of powerful motors rose to a terrific roar as they hit the straightaways at 150 miles or better—grinding, pulling, pounding around treacherous tire-destroying curves faster than they ever dared before. Sliding into the turns at these terrific speeds, there was nothing to hold the car to the track except the tire.
Mile after mile, lap after lap, greater and greater heat and increased centrifugal force developed to separate the tread from the body of the tire. Every conceivable force known was working to tear the tires to pieces—yet Firestone High Speed Tires, with Gum-Dipped High Stretch Cords, withstood this most gruelling test.
Thirty-three demons of speed—thirty-three cars equipped with Firestone High Speed Tires—all protected by Gum-Dipped High Stretch Cords—entered the Annual Speed Classic. Every tire was bought by the driver or owner of the car.
g and pulling—not one cotton strand loosened was forced out of the race by tire trouble. Six ability built into Firestone High Speed Tires.
In all the heat—in all the grinding—in all the straining and pulling—not one cotton strand loosened not one life was endangered by tire failure—not one car was forced out of the race by tire trouble. Six of the winners finished without a tire change.
What a tribute to the Extra Strength—Safety and Durability built into Firestone High Speed Tires.

Note how the rubber in a Firestone Tire clings to the high stretch Gum-Dipped cords. This greater adhesion and strength is made possible by the Firestone patented process of Gum-Dipping.
Note how the rubber in an ordinary tire pulls away from the cords that have not been soaked and insulated with rubber. This causes friction and heat within the cords, resulting in separation.

Frank Borzage's famous drama "Little Man, What Now?" begins a week's run at Montrabel Montgomery's little U Street Theatre tomorrow (Friday). The picture, starring pretty Margaret Sullivan, has to do with the struggle of a young couple facing dire poverty.
Miss Sullavan, ably supported by Douglas Montgomery as her husband, portrays a young woman about to receive the greatest of blessings, who can barely say where the next meal is to be gotten. The loss of two jobs by her husband furthers the difficulties through which the couple are taken.
But Hans and Lamnchen, young and in love with each other, lose neither their hope nor their happiness.
Strongly reminiscent of "Seventh Heaven," the Borzage masterpiece of the silent days, "Little Man, What Now?" promises a beautiful theme, capably handled by a well-balanced cast.
Supporting the romantic leads are Alan Hale, Hedda Hopper, George Meeker, Mac Marsh, DeWitt Jennings, Sarah Padden, Fred Kohler and Muriel, Kirkland.

MUSE HAS PART IN "COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO"
One of the important minor characters in the "Count of Monte Cristo" is Ali, dark-skinned henchman of the fabulously rich heir in the latter part of Alexandre Dumas's novel. When it came time to cast the role in Edward Small's million dollar production of the immortal story, someone had the happy inspiration to test Clarence Muse, Hollywood's premier Negro actor. Ironically, Muse has one of the finest speaking and singing voices but the character of Ali is a mute, and as the producer would permit no tinkering with Dumas's basic plot and people, Muse must depend upon pantomime.
Muse was born in Baltimore, where he received his early education. After attending Dickerson University, he went on the stage, appearing in vaudeville on the Keith and Proctor circuit, and later switching to dramatic work with the Lafayette Players in New

Let's Be Sensible When Buying A Funeral Service
Let's Be Sensible When Buying A Funeral Service
It's true that the average family doesn't feel like counting pennies when ordering a funeral service.
That's the very reason why it's so essential to select a reliable funeral director; one who will advise wisely and not take advantage of the family's natural desire to order extravagantly.
Our advice is to be sensible and don't set aside your better judgment. At such a time this is difficult; that is why we suggest that the matter be placed in the hands of a funeral director who may be implicitly depended upon. That we have a reputation can readily be verified from families we have served.

THCMAS FRAZIER
SCHOOL TEACHER DIES SUDDENLY
Mrs. Charlotte C. Wynes Succumbs After Brief Illness
Mrs. Charlotte Collins Wynes, public school teacher, died Saturday at her residence, 1316 Riggs Street, Northwest, after an illness of three days.
Funeral service was held Tuesday evening at the home of her mother, Mrs. Charlotte Collins, 490 E Street, Southwest. The Rev. Thomas Brown, rector of St. Luke's P.E. Church, officiated.
Mrs. Wynes was born in Washington February 23, 1908 and was educated in the public schools of the District. She graduated from Dunbarn High School in 1925 and in 1929 she graduated from the art department, School of Applied Science, Howard University. She attended summer sessions at Columbia Teachers. College and was appointed an instructor of art in the District public schools in 1932.
She is survived by her husband, Harry Wynes and mother. Other survivors are four sisters and one brother, Mrs. Myrtle Wisman, Misses Ruby F., Grace L., Ada V. and Henry A. Collins.

Southern Minister Tells That They Still are Slaves
Dr. M. Ashby Jones, white, pastor of Central Congregational Church, Atlanta, Ga speaking before the Goodwill Conference in Memphis, Tenn., indicted. the white south for continuing to keep the Negro in slavery. "Today the Negro is almost as completely in the power of the white man as in the days of slavery," he declared with heat. "From the Potomac to the Rio Grande, there is not a single local political office which he can hold. He can serve on no political committee. The great bulk of the property, and the management of great commercial enterprises, is in the hands of the whites.
"So are the great institutions of civilization, the schools, hospitals, libraries, the art treasures and the facilities of recreation. This is the most dangerous power any people can have. It is absolute authority without responsibility.
Moral Strain Greater than that of Slavery
"The moral strain is greater than that of slavery. It is unwholesome for any group. The Negro is taxed without representation. He is governed by laws in the making of which he has no voice. He is summoned before a judge in whose election he has no word.
"The whole racial discussion today is confused and clouded by the pseudo-scientific talk of 'superior races'. There has been little effort at a clear definition of what is meant by 'superior'. There is a vast difference in the attainments and achievements of races. This is readily granted. But it proves little. The most significant right of a man is the right to make his own definition of his own personality, unharmed by social or political differences in the thought of his fellow man."

Mrs. Boylan declared, in a statement to a representative of The Tribune, that the doorman of the relief station, with a first aid kit, was one of the first persons to reach Mrs. Morehead.

SOUTHWEST BODY ASKS CITY HEAD FOR FIRE WAGON
Requests Purchase From $25,000 Authorized by President
Replacement of the old 22-mile-an-hour Brockway hose wagons at No. 4 No. 5 and No. 13 Engine Companies with new hose wagons was requested of Melvin C. Haze, president of the District Commissioners, in a letter by Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the public service committee of the Southwest Civic Association.
The civic body maintains that the slow hose wagons are no improvement in speed over the old fire horse and have no place in a modern fire department.
The letter pointed out that the late George S. Watson, former chief engineer of the Fire Department, admitted last December that these hose wagons were the two slowest in the department but could not be replaced until new equipment was acquired.
Replacement of No. 4's 16-year-old engine with a new one, was also requested in the letter.
The sum of $23,000 for the purchase of two hose wagons and one engine was authorized last week, when President Roosevelt signed the District appropriation bill for 1935.
Dr. Johnson's letter calls attention to the fact that among the 35 civic organizations which appeared before both houses of Congress this spring, the Southwest Association was the only one to urge appropriation of money for this equipment.

HOWARD WOMEN
MISS EDNA BURKE
The success of a newly organized or newly revised organization is due in no small part to the one who sells the idea to the public. That the Howard women were so well informed of, and responded so well to the local club can be traced to the first publicity secretary, Miss Edna Burke. Having taken nearly all honors in sight at Dunbar High School, Miss Burke matriculated at Howard where she became particularly outstanding in many fields. She won all scholastic honors offered undergraduates in her fields, English, Latin, and French, including the Freshman Scroller Cup, the National Business Men's Scholarship, the Kappa Mu Honor Cup, and a presidency of the Honor Society.
Exceptional interest and ability in her classroom work did not keep her from engaging in many of the college activities. Somehow she found time to fill the vice-presidency and serve on the social committee of her freshman class, engage in intercollegiate debates and in the literary efforts of the Stylus Club. She served as a corresponding secretary of the Student Council, as associate editor of the '31 Bison, as Hilltop editor of women's activities, vice-president of the Pestalozzi-Froebel Group, and as president of Mu Lambda Lambda. Her newly-elected office of editor of the '32 Bison was resigned because she left her class at the end of the senior year. Not only did she finish the prescribed four-year course in three and one-quarter years, but her diploma carried the inscription "Summa Cum Laude."
The following year she received the degree of master of arts in French, explaining in her thesis, Honore de Balago's conception of the Negro.
That summer she taught at the nationally known Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona, Florida. During the winter of '33-'34, adults of Bowie and Duckettsville, Md., received the benefit of her extensive training. (In mid-winter Miss Burke resigned her position of publicity secretary because of these classes.) Miss Burke is a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, having been inducted in Alpha Chapter which she later served as its president.
Miss Ada Fisher is Star Of "Hedda Gabler"
Miss Ada Fisher is Star Of "Hedda Gabler"
NACHMAN'S Outstanding LIVING ROOM VALUE!
THE LIVING ROOM
Henrik Ibson's brilliant story of the woman who, by a vicious circle of circumstances, found herself alone in a calculating world was told by the Howard Players in their performance of "Hedda Gabler" at Garnet-Patterson recently with Miss Ada Fisher in the role of Hedda.
An audience of 400 celebrated this cultural event, entering into the tenseness of the play, appreciating its application to the new woman of our time, and heaping applause upon the actors. It was another of the varied commencement offerings of the Howard Players of Howard University, who last year presented Philip Barry's "The Youngest."
Under the direction of Sterling A. Brown, these amateurs caught the delicate satire of the great Norwegian dramatist of the last century. They destroyed sham, as Ibsen did. C. Bernard Ruffin, as George Tesman, Ada Fisher, as Hedda his wife, and Slaughter Murrell, as Judge Brack, were the prime movers.
The story concerns the high-minded daughter of General Gabler, set down in marriage to Tesman, a young and prematurely musty scholar. Nothing can please her exactly but out of the past comes trouping her old flame, Ellert Lovborg, played by Leonard Hayes, in his capacity as great writer and inamorata to Mrs. Elvsted, estranged wife of Sheriff Elvsted, played by Miss Rosalind Butcher. Hedda fails, through a series of thrilling adventures, to reach her goal in replacing Mrs. Elvsted as the mistress of Lovborg's fate, fails to calm her desires in her life with Tesman, fails to evade the scandalous clutches of Judge Brack, who learns of her implication in Lovborg's suicide. And when she finds herself utterly alone, she takes the Gabler pistols which had been her chief sport, and ends her life.
Miss Ada Fisher showed a remarkable energy and wit in passing through the stages of congenial disappointment, dispair and unbearable loneliness. She captured the imagination of the audience in the third act climax and raised it to an appreciation of the Ibsen analysis of life, often very difficult.
Slaughter Murrell, a member of "The Green Pastures" cast for three years, produced a highly desirable effect as the judge who was bent upon enslaving Hedds
and her strange loveliness.. C. Bernard Ruffin, star in Dunbar and Howard dramatics for several years, deserves considerable praise because his work was without the usual excitement of the amateur in a restrained role. Miss Rosalind Butcher and Leonard were impressive as lovers caught Hayes were impressive as lovers caught in the cruelty of unlawful love and crushed by the wiles of Hedda.
Miss Angella Turpeau was delightful as Aunt Juliana Tesman and Miss Marion Martin played Bertha, the servant, with good taste.
The new management of the Howard Players, headed by James Thompson, elected president for 1934-1935, and the director, Professor Brown, promises allegiance to the principle of increasing the dramatic vision of the community through the production of more plays like "Hedda Gabler."

However, practically all of the women interviewed by The Tribune were bitterly opposed to going back to the temple. An effort to see Louis W.

20 Per Cent of Crime
"Out of the 46 inhabited alleys of the Second Precinct, and out of the immediate neighborhood which these alleys have poisoned comes 20 per cent of all the crimes committed in the District," the Senator said. "This is important from a sociological point of view, but it is equally important from the standpoint of the taxpayer. The alleys of the Second Precinct are responsible for a greater number of deaths from tuberculosis and a greater percentage of disease than any similar area in the District."
Senator Capper said a careful estimate by the commission revealed that the Second Precinct alone is costing the District approximately $1,000,000 a year more than real estate taxes derived from it.
NATIVE AFRICAN OPERA THRILLS BROADWAY
"White Way" Theatre Goers Enjoy "Kykunkor" Folk Song Drama
NEW YORK CITY-Jaded Broadway playgoers were intrigued by the native African opera, with witch doctors shouting incantations and tom-toms for accompaniment, which has been playing the main stem for the past two weeks.
The opera is "Kykunker," or "WitchWoman." It opened in the Chanin auditorium after two previous runs of limited duration on smaller stages. Entirely unheralded at its opening the show was "discovered" by theatre habitates and drama critics, achieving sudden popularity.
"Kykunkor" is a folk drama developed from African songs and dances by Asadata Dafora Horton, an African who has studied them all his life. The plot deals with courtship, engagement and marriage in an African village. Drums are the only instruments in the orchestra. Eighteen members of the cast are Africans. One of the high points is the killing of the bridegroom and his resuscitation by a witch doctor who shouts impassioned incantations over his body. Dances, songs and acting are different from anything known to the current generation of playgoers. The production is sponsored by the Unity Theater group.

urday, was a result of injuries she received when beaten by the man during a street brawl on April 29th.
Evidence presented by government witnesses, headed by Officers O. A. Salons and Frank E. Dodson, both white and of the Fourth Precinct, described the death of Mrs. Butler as the result of blows received by the woman at the hands of Glenn. The latter emphatically denied that he had struck the woman, both in statements to police and in testimony before the coroner jury.
The theory that the woman's death might have been caused by complications caused by a malady, together with difficulties arising from premature birthbirth, were exploded by Dr. C. J. Murphy, deputy coroner. Dr. Murphy followed a Casualty Hospital physician on the stand and testified that an autopsy had disclosed toxemia and exhaustion following a fracture of the leg and a broken neck as the cause of death.
Just previous to the deputy coroner's testimony, the hospital physician had declared that he could not definitely ascribe the woman's death to the injuries of her head, neck and leg.
It developed that Mrs. Butler had told friends that Glenn had beaten her with a crank handle following an argument between them. The argument, they declared she told them, was due to her refusal to continue her relations with him. The witnesses asserted that Glenn and Mrs. Butler had once been close friends. Glenn was represented at the coroner's inquest by Attorney Thomas Beckett. No government prosecutor was on hand.

Friendship
From time to time we gladly meet with young bearbs, each other greet.
With a comforting word and a smile.
And our cares are forgotten for awhile.
We laugh with them who are happy and gay;
Those who sorrow, we go more than half way.
And prays them feel we are ready.
So share
With them the burden that they must bear.
On wings of love comes such friendship.
And out of the old rut unconsciously we slip.
We find that our social life depends.
On the interest we take in our worth while friends.
True friendship is worthy to be sought.

Somewhere we'll meet again with our friends.

Our Graduates
This is the joyful season for those young men and women who are graduating from our high schools and colleges.
Parents are more or less likewise joyful to know that their labors and sacrifices have been thus far rewarded. But deep in the heart of every colored parent is the query and the worry of "what will my son and laughter now find to do?"
It is now that these parents are confronted with the damnable prejudice that closes most doors to gainful employment to these graduates. And those parents are also now wondering why there are few if any openings in the businesses conducted by their own people. It is now that they face the effects of their apathy and indifference to colored business all these years before graduation.
Just what these many thousands of graduates will do is of course more or less a personal matter—but the fact remains that opportunities for employment are almost nil. Schools are crowded with teachers, and there are professional men beyond the point of absorption and what's worse our local and federal goverments have practically closed the doors to the darker skinned American. Industry and merchants of the other group are looking after their own. Trades unions do not want us—in fact won't have us.
A dark picture, but a true one.
What can we do about it is the question? Our answer is that we must make any sacrifice within our power to create enterprises, and SUPPORT enterprises of our own; together with a more intelligent use of our political possibilities to secure our rightful share of employment.
The Parting of the Ways
It is regretable that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois have come to the parting of the ways. However, since it had to come the fiery editor of the Crisis quit in his characteristic way, fighting for what he believed was right. The N.A.A.C.P. could not afford to change its stand on segregation as it was built on the foundation that segregation in any form is distasteful and should be fought.
Since living in the south, Dr. DuBois has found out what many other southern Negroes have long since learned—that segregation in that part of the country is as inevitable as the stars. To get the maximum out of life the Negro in the south accepts it or worse. Most times the worse is being driven from his home and his property destroyed. Dr. DuBois accepts segregation, but not discrimination. Since the dominant race forces segregation on him there is nothing left for the Negro to do, but fight for equal rights if they must be separate. The Washington school system is an outstanding example of the latter.
Church Visitors Welcomed
The Thibune extends welcome to the many delegates here to attend the National Sunday School and B.Y.P.U Congress. Washington offers many attractions, especially in the summer, which we hope the visitors will find to enjoy. The various government buildings, parks and schools of Washington are among the most beautiful in the world and visitors will find it well worth their while to spend some time at such buildings as the National Museum, the Capitol, and many others. A motor trip to the Washington Monument, the Tidal Basin, National Zoological Park and over the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway is well worth the time. Visitors are also invited to visit the Tribune plant, the only Negro paper published in the District.
You cannot ignore or injure another person without hurting yourself. Suppose you think that a certain man has not played square with you, forget it rather than let bitter thoughts disturb your mind. The greatest damage an enemy can do to you lies in the angry emotions he can arouse within you.

Readers of The Tribune are requested to send in letters expressing their opinions on subjects of general interest. Confine letters to 280 words or less, sign name to show good faith, and give address and telephone numbers. Names will not be published if so requested.
Brilliant Performance of Child Pianist Praised by Writer.
To the Editor:
Anyone who attended the spring play "Once in a Blue Moon" at the Terrell Junior High School given last month, could not help admiring the piano work of that operetta as played by Alma Montgomery, a little twelve-year old girl and a student in the school.
The writer also heard her in a student recital given by her teacher, Mrs. Eunice Shepherd, and there this wonderful child pianist performed in a manner becoming one of maturer years. I am of the opinion that such unusual talent and ability found in children of our race ought to be taken note of.
I have been told that this little artist has memorized several numbers written by such composers as Saint-Saens, Beethoven, Brahms, and the Bacarole by Dett. The Washington public ought to know about this little girl and the entire race has reason to be proud of her work on the piano.

A Letter With a Challenge in it. Do We Hear Any Answers?
To the Editor:
I want to have these questions answered:
1. Should we patronize Negro retail business houses when we know that the owners of those stores do not patronize other retail houses in the race?
2. Does it seem sensible to think that a Negro professional man is worthy of our hire, when, if that same professional man needs professional service, he goes outside of the race?
3. Can we look at the sidewalks of U Street, and at a large number of the front yards of the homes of Negroes, and say that we wonder why property depreciates when we move into neighborhoods?
4. Would the race be helped to a greater extent if we had more plasterers, paperhangers, and the like, who can give fair prices, be depended on, and produce first class work—rather than having an over-abundance of professional men who enter the government service—thus crowding out those who are not especially trained in some particular line?
5. Will some of the readers of your paper answer any or all of these questions for one who thinks the questions are worth while?

A Crone's Soliloquy, a Poem Dedicated to the James E. Walker Stadium.
Constantly I sit by a window
But it small accounts how urgent the task
My insistent eyes will stray
From work, however tedious, to the playground
Across the way—
Where the youths from three schools spend
their
Idle periods at play.
At the sound of the gong they come
With laughter and with shout,
A rollicking, jolly, gladsome throng
So happy in the freedom of school let out.
They toss their balls, and bat them, too,
And do their games in glee—
"Tis a sight fit for a poet, a sage,
Let alone a crone like me.
I've judged from long and thoughtful observation
Or the sort of games they play,
They're always sure to come, act, and go
In the same good fellowway.
And to the passerby, to the critic's eye.
Let alone a crone like me.
Then at other times they come (not with bats
And balls)
But with even tread to the roll of the drum

They answer the bugle's call.
Gun upon gun, rank after rank
Those uniformed figures stand—
(Not with laughter, not for fun) rigid.
In attention to the captains' commands.
Each leader his squad, lieutenant, his platoon,
Each captain his company;
Their manuvering would thrill the heart of a
a king.
Let alone a crone like me.
They study, they drill, they work
They play—
Who of us can boast of times abided tasks
Better done than they—
Hearts free from avarice, innocent—willing to
Give as well as gain;
Or when jostled by the anxious crowd
Not voice his grievances long and loud—
Or when competing in life's incessant grind
Will take his share of conssequences
Squarely on the chin, and still maintain
A peace of mind, and good-will toward

The Crisis of the "Crisis" is a Serious Crisis
The N.A.A.C.P. has thriven on the influence which Dr. DuBois has done most to create and sustain. His has been the voice crying in the wilder-
The militant magazine so ably edited by Dr. DuBois for the past twenty-four years has reached a turning point in its career which might aptly be described as its journalistic homonym. Somt year or so ago, Dr. DuBois sent out a trial balloon, as the newspaper craft would call it, to the effect that the agitative work of the N.A.A.C.P. for the past quarter of a century had practically been a failure and calling upon the intelligence to shift heir chief energies along more feasible and practical channels. I issued a release calling attention to the danger to any organization which has been organized and supported for militant and agitative purpose to shift its task to meet the requirements of a practical and constructive program. A new policy was announced for the Crisis. Its chief work for the ensuing year was to consist of research in several departments of racial life and the short stories dealing artistically instead of didactically with several phases of the problem. I then suggested that the Crisis was not calculated nor equipped to conduct survey and research work, and that it could not compete with other organs and agencies in the ventures upon which it was about to launch. My prediction was abundantly justified by abortive experiments.
HIS ATTITUDE KNOWN
SINCE JANUARY
In January of this year, the editor of the Crisis made the startling announcement that he had reversed his traditional attitude on segregation. Not only so, but utilized the columns of the Crisis to justify his change of heart, or rather mind, and sought learnedly to prove that the N.A.A.C.P. had never asserted a downright and up-straight attitude on that issue. A later editorial criticising officials of the organization and questioning the wisdom of its declared policy created an impossible situation. At this juncture I issued another release declaring that a house divided against itself cannot stand. It was impossible for the N.A.A.C.P. to retain as editor of its endowed organ a man who was at avowed variance with its personnel and policy. They had come to the parting of the ways. The public is still puzzled to know how Dr. DuBois could have been allowed to continue as editor for half a year after the unhealable breach or by what construction of propriety he could allow himself to continue in such an anomalous position. But now that the severance has taken place, the public is chiefly concerned with the after effect upon the N.A.A.C.P., upon the Crisis and upon its erudite editor.
THE ASSOCIATION HAS FOUGHT FOR 25 YEARS
The N.A.A.C.P. is our one outstanding militant organization which for twenty-five long years has fought the battles of the race with courage, determination and with a commendable degree of success. Any disruption which is to impair its efficiency and usefulness would indeed be a calamity to the race.
The ability of colored men of high character and intelligence to work together under proper co-ordination and subordination would sustain a new doubt in the mind of the skeptical. Our few remaining white friends and well wisher would be grieved at such a disappointing demonstration. Let us all hope that the organization will close ranks, form a new front and a new battle line under the gallant leadership of Walter White and his heroic colleagues. Without a militant organization the cause of the race would be lost by default. The N.A.A.C.P. has thriven on the influence which Dr. DuBois has done most to create and sustain. His has been the voice crying in the wilderness: "Make straight the pathway of our Lord," rather than as the constructive task of the engineer to construct the roadbed and install the machinery. His has been the most commanding single voice, crying aloud and sparing not, which we have heard during the present century. The organization will miss him, though we hope, not irretrievably.
THE CRISIS IS THE PERSONIFICATION OF DUBOIS
The Crisis is the outgrowth of the editor. It is DuBois turned wrong side out. The Crisis without DuBois would be like Nation without Villard, of the American Mercury without H. L. Menchen, or the Philistine without Elbert Hubbard. It may be carried on in form but the soul will not be there. Let us hope that the N.A.A.C.P. will still maintain an organ, one perhaps more responsive to its demands and specific needs than the Crisis has been. But I suggest that it might be just as well to adopt the Washington Tribune or some other publication as its organ rather than try to perpetuate the Crisis with its too costly bill of expense, and especially in view of the insuperable difficulty of replacing the editor. The race needs the Crisis with DuBois as editor. If I had the means I would endow DuBois, notwithstanding his ideosyncrasies, to conduct the Crisis in the way he thought best, free from any organizational dictation or control.
Colored men have such few opportunities to live out full, rounded completed careers that it is little less than calamity to so brilliant a career frustrated short of fulfillment. Dr. DuBois has done his chief work, and like others of his day and generation, is heading for the last round up. I sincerely hope that he will find satisfying work which will engage his splendid faculties and powers for the remainder of his active years. What happens, we may be assured that he will ring true to the best interests of the race as he conceives it to be for it cannot otherwise befall with such a soul as his. The N.A.A.C.P., the Crisis and DuBois—May they all live long and be prosperous and happy.
Perry Howard Urges Darker Races to Combat Naziism
Mr. Howard is a well known Washington attorney recently headed an anti-Nazi movement with J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of Elks, as secretary.
To the Editor:
"We are delighted to find that the darker races are waking up to the subtle and insidious inroads that Nazism is making on the American Continent.
Few of our group took notice of the fact that when the first proclamation in Germany was issued by Adolph Hitler it proscribed against the Negro as well as Jews and Catholics, and few of our group are aware that at this time it is reported that there are only 16 Negroes on the main land of Germany, and just how long these will last, no one can forecast.
"After more than fifty years of diligent effort to get away from the modern forms of slavery which followed prior to 1863 in its most hideous form, and hardly had we ceased to hear the crack of the master's whip, the shout of the over-seer, the auction block sale crying-off on the auction block of our mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers and even the babes from our mothers' breasts—yes—hardly had we reached the state where we could successfully combat the insidious and subtle encroachments upon our liberties and enjoyment of all the rights vouchsafed to us under our laws by such malignant organization as the American Ku Klux Klan when lo and behold, there arises on the world horizon the hydraheaded manster of Naziism, with its starling proclamation of colossal pro

If Webb's material goes over big with the readers of this column (in the event of Miss Pitt's refusal to collaborate), he will be asked to work with the writer or take over the column all together.
Just a line or two about married women and jobs. The United State's Department of Labor Women's Bureau recently pointed out the hardship and injustice which can arise from the blanket dismissal of women from jobs just because they are married.
A survey was made of 28 such women who had been employed in the New York Post Office. Their husbands were also employed there. The hasty assumption would be that the women should give way to unemployed men, heads of families, or unmarried women who must earn their own living. But the survey showed that all, but one of these women had been working to support other persons. Altogether 80 persons were being supported by the 28 couples, besides themselves.
A typical example was a couple who was supporting the wife's father and mother, and helping to support a sister with an invalid husband and three children. This problem of who shall have preference in employment in a economic world as complex as today's is not open to solution by simple, arbitrary classifications. Many a married woman who is working, the writer believes, needs her earnings as much as any man, and often for the same general purpose of supporting others who cannot support themselves.

Negro Specialist Reports New Treatment for Mental Diseases
By JAMES EDMUND BOYACK
Remarkable results with a new treatment for a mental disease which until now has defied medical science being in many Negro cases pronounced incurable, was reported to the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association at Walford Astoria Hotel recently, by Dr. George C. Branche, chief, Neuropsychiatric Service, Veteran's Administration, Tuskegee, Alabama, America's largest Negro veterans' Hospital. It created widespread attention among the assembled psychiatrists. Showing that the Negroes of the North American Continent possess a marked immunity to the usual tertian malaria treatment for mental diseases caused by neurosyphilis, Dr. Branche, eminent Negro psychiatrist, gave a detailed account of thirty-six mental cases treated by him during the past year.

portions, proclaiming that hereafter, certain races and groups, including ours—the colored group shall have fixed Minstations in the empire of Germany—limited to the status of "hewers of wood and drawers of water"-no matter what the ability or the character or the genius of the individual may be, if he is of a certain race or of a certain group, in the language of the baseball world, he is "three strikes out at birth."
Appalling as this may be when we read that this is in Germany, yet, it does not approach the terror, the anxiety and the heart-rendering feeling that comes over us as a colored group, when we are brought face to face with the fact that, not only have they driven out of Germany practically the entire colored population, but this monster is spreading its tentacles out over the world, and we are meeting evidences of it every day here in America. We are preparing to hold a great meeting in this country at an early date, at which meeting some of the best minds will be present, to prepare to inveigh against this effort to reenslave the darker and proscribed races by circuitous and indirect methods.

Though experiments have been carried on for some time with the quarten malaria germ by Dr. Bruce Mayne, famous malariologist, at the U.S. Public Health Laboratories, this is the first authoritative report on a sufficiently large scale to show the immense possibilities of the "quartan" treatment in mental cases and was characterized by Dr. Walter L. Brustsch, of Indianapolis, who discussed Doctor Branche's paper from the rostrum after he had finished his address.
High Percentage of Cures
The result of Dr. Branche's work is that a high percentage of cures are now possible among Negroes who formerly were in many cases pronounced incurable, though it was pointed out that mental disorders arising out of necrosyphilis as it affects the brain and spinal chord are actually less prevelent among Negroes than among whites. Beginning with his original experiments in 1928, Dr. Branche told the twelve hundred psychiatrists in simple words the story of his dramatic struggle to save lives with the treatment which had such successful results with Whites but which failed for hereditary reasons to take effect in his patients, all veterans of the world war.
"In 1929 our efforts at malarial therapy were temporarily abandoned in favor of tryparsamide therapy with which encouraging results were being obtained," he said. "Mindful, however, of the advantages of malarial therapy, the simplicity of technique, its relative harmlessness, the ease with which it is controlled, the shortened period of treatment and the absence of serious optic nerve involvement compared with tryparsamide therapy, we seized on the idea of securing a benign strain of malaria less prevalent in the immediate Southern States. "Remembering the experiments of the U.S. Public Health Laboratories we secured some samples of the pure quartan strain from the latter."
Veteran's Hospital Scene of Experiments
"The large percentage of 'takes from this strain was so astounding as compared with previous experience with the tertian strain that it was deemed advisable to further study the results to be obtained by inoculating colored patients with plasmodium vivax and after thorough trial resort to the quartan strain in cases failing to respond.
"It was clearly determined from the first group of cases inoculated with the tertial plasmodium that those failing to respond were largely individuals of dark color and possessing for the most part Negro features.
"A total of thirty-six patients, however, have been inoculated with the quartan strain from November 1932 to September 1933. Of this group nineteen responded to the first inoculation; twelve to the second; two to the third and three failed to respond. In other words 91.6 per cent were successful.
"On the other hand a total of twenty-two patients were inoculated with the tertian strain since our first efforts in 1928 with only fourteen per cent successful."
Dr. Branche's rise to prominence in the medical world has been rapid. After graduating from Lincoln University, Pa., in 1912 as Bachelor of Arts, he became interne at the Boston Psychopathic Hospital where in 1923 he graduated with high honors. In that year he was appointed to the staff of the Veterans' Administration Facility at Tuskegee. He later returned to New York for special study in neuropsychiatry and in 1927 was appointed to his present post.

Giving a fascinating picture of a group of Bush Negroes of Dutch Guiana, who have built an isolated civilization of their own in the heart of the Dutch foreign territory, "Rebel Destiny," by Melvin J. and Frances Herskovits, made its appearance in the book mart on May 28. It was published by Whittlesey House, 330 West 42nd Street, New York. Presentation of the subjects as living human beings, not. as museum specimens, makes "Rebel Destiny" a distinctive work in its field. The authors have done an excellent job in this book in which you can hear the beat of ceremonial tom toms and almost see the dancers, whose shining anklets gleam in the pale moonlight.
Mr. Herkovits is associate professor of Anthropology at Northwestern University and is author of several purely scholarly books on the American Negro. His wife accompanied him on most of his trips, including those to Africa and Dutch Guiana.
Literary guilds, scholastic, circles, libraries, and exclusive book stores are heralding a new classic. It is a novel, cosmopolitan in scope, written by M. Coates Webster, entitled "Strange Fraternity" which was released from McCally's Publishing Company, June 15.

This Week
BY HAROLD C. EATON
There is no one on record credited with saying "The presence of a good and wise man is not missed."
DuBois Quits N.A.A.C.P. and "Crisis"—news item in last week's Tribune. Many members of the N.A.A.C.P. were somewhat shocked by this report last week. The public was aware of the friction between Dr. DuBois and the rest of the administrating family of the N.A.A.C.P. but few, I am sure, suspected it would lead to the resignation of the doctor.
There have been many bitter arguments between officials of the N.A.A.C.P. in the past although none caused any alarm. But the bombshell that Dr. DuBois threw into the dignified body, in the form of his personal opinions on segregation, was not treated as lightly as other matters.
I have held a deep respect for W. E. Bourghardt DuBois, every since I was a boy. My admiration for him first started when I acted as agent for the Crisis magazine in New Iberia, La., about twelve years ago. I would read all the articles that came from the pen of Dr. DuBois. I looked upon him then as a sort of hero—a fearless Crusader for equal rights of a downdropped race.
The N.A.A.C.P. has truly lost a colorful member with the withdrawal of Dr. DuBois. He was the commanding force of the organization. His oratorial ability as well as his charming personality has served many times as a magnet to draw persons to the membership of the organization without anyone." To some expression: "The world can do without anone." To some extent, I guess that saying holds true. But there is no one on record credited with saying that: "The presence of a good and wise man is not missed." I believe the right kind of man can be missed even in heaven. The N.A.A.C.P. will undoubtedly find that such a man as Dr. DuBois "can be missed."
As I see it, Dr. DuBois has been greatly misunderstood on segregation. Since last January the editor has been explaining what he meant when he wrote: "There should never be an opposition to segregation pure and simple unless that segregation does involve discrimination."
In April's issue of the Crisis Du DuBois makes this statement after assent that since we are segregated we should make the best of it: "What can we do? The only thing that we not only can, but must do, is voluntarily and insistently organize our economic power and social power, no matter how much segregation it involves. Learn to associate with ourselves and to train ourselves for effective association. Organize our strength as consumers; learn to co-operate and use machines and power as producers; train ourselves in methods of democratic control within our own group. Run and support our own institutions." But in this month's (June) Crisis he makes himself plain on the subject. He goes down fighting. He begins his Postscript with the strong argument: "Many persons have interpreted my reassertion of our current attitude toward segregation as a counsel of dispair. We can't win, therefore, give up and accept the inevitable. Never, and nonsense! Our business in this world is to fight and fight again, and never yield. But after all, one must fight with his brains, if he has any."
"Coming down to brass tacks," as the old folks used to say, it seems that Dr. DuBois is just another Hoover. The depression whipped him too. The N.A.A.C.P. thinks the Crisis is not selling fast enough and that a change of editors would serve as a remedy. If this is not the reason then, what is? Certainly not because of Dr. DuBois's change of opinion on segregation and his criticism of the organization on other matters. If this be the cause then something is surely wrong with the administration. Why deny one free speech? Why can't the N.A.A.C.P. stand to be criticized by one who knows the facts as Dr. DuBois undoubtedly does?
Well, any way, I shall mis read Postscript in the Crisis. No one will be able to fill Dr. DuBois's shoes there.

Segregation Debated by Music and Literary Club
Under the auspices of the National Music and Literary Society the following subject was debated last week: "Resolved That Segregation Has Done the Negro More Good Than Harm."
Those who spoke on the affirmative side were John Dye and Roosevelt Jackson; negative side, Charles E. Johnson, Lloyd Patterson and the Rev. C. S. Jones.
The following persons also spoke on the subject: Dr. John R. Frances, Miss Lillian Speight, Mrs. Irene McDaniel, of Pittsburgh; Mrs. Alberta Summerville, of Cleveland; Mrs. Charles E. Johnson, Miss Josephine Patterson Miss Gladys Duncan, Robert Lea, George Bannister, and Mrs. Isabela Young of New York, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bannister.
The affirmative endeavored to show that the Negro, where segregated, had advanced more rapidly materially, economically and professionally. The negative attempted to prove that Negroes segregated accepted an inferiority complex, that wages and educational facilities were not as good that their moral and spiritual standards were lowered and their ambitions dwarfed. The society will not meet again until the first Tuesday in September at 1728 Corcoran Street, Northwest.

School Closings Hold Week's Social Center
By VIVIAN TURNER
Over last week-end the city was alive with visitors from everywhere. The commencement exercises of Howard University was the drawing card for many while the Interne Convention and the reunion of the Howard Medical Class of 1924 brought many others.
Activities attending these various gatherings have been very numerous as Washingtonians never fail to show hospitality to visitors on occasions of this kind. Card parties, teas, dinners, dances stags and what not kept the visitors on the go from morning until the wee hours of the next morning.
The reunion of the Howard Class of 1924 was a joyous get-together again of those splendid physicians, all of whom are doing well in various cities. The group began to arrive Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. They attended the Interne meeting on Thursday morning, then had a joyful party to attend the American League baseball game in the afternoon.

While the alarm spread through this small Virginia town, fantastic scenes were being enacted at the scene of the tragedy. Men ran screaming from the plant, clothing ablaze. The small group of fellow employees on the same shift who had escaped injury endeavored to beat out the flames.
Tyler was a human torch as he flew from the death trap. Despite this, he did not die until after reaching the hospital. Residents assisted the fire department and hospital attendants in taking the injured to the hospital.
Reporters Barred
The 22 men trapped in the explosion had gone on duty at 7 a.m. Due to secrecy of the manufacture of the paper product, reporters were refused admittance to the plant. Two cameramen who succeeded in slipping into the plant had their cameras destroyed. The plant operates on a 24-hour shift, seven days a week. Dr. Reichel said that the water-proofing department would be closed temporarily, but that the remainder of the plant would continue to operate. The plant is one of a number operated in this country and Canada, by Belgian interests.
$25,000 Damage
Officials of the company said they could not determine whether an employee or some fault in the machinery was to blame. The accident was the first serious one in the plant since is was established four years ago, soon after the invention of the diaphanous wrapping paper, according to Dr. Frank Reichel, general manager. He set the damage at $25,000.

Perhaps one of the prettiest affairs of last week was that given by the Hi Ho Girls, when admit clusters of beautiful spring flowers, arranged in vases in the reception room, a plot of hues against pale yellow walls and striking red and black hangings formed a pleasing setting for the delightful reception given on Monday, June 11, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Richard W.

The Unknown Soldier Speaks
It was Joel Spingarn, the noted educator, who made the first plea for partial equality, for partial recognition, for partial honor of the Negro in the World War. Spingarn suggested and propagated the idea of a military camp for Negroes, where they might receive instruction in all branches of military service, honor, and equality due to such military rank as they might qualify for.
The image depicts a snowy landscape with a vast expanse of snow-covered terrain. In the foreground, there are several small buildings or structures, possibly part of a settlement or military base. The background features a cloudy sky with a mix of dark and light clouds, suggesting a cold, wintry atmosphere. The overall scene is serene and quiet, with no visible signs of activity or movement.
Spingarn never realized what forces he would set in motion by mere presentation of this proposition. He merely pointed out the pathway. The young Negro brushed aside the opponents among his own race of this policy of segregation. He disregarded the moral principle which had actuated the older Negroes of the Interior Department in refusing to accept segregation, and seized the opportunity to produce some sort of change or readjustment. Certainly he could go no lower than the policies of previous generations had brought him.
DesMoines Camp was organized in June, 1917, to train Negroes to the high point where other military men must recognize them, honor them, and receive them on the plane of equality due their rank. Over 1,200 men went there for training. Theirs was the 17th Provisional Reserve Officers' Training Corps, but the first of national proportions. Its quota was drawn from every section of the United States. Hardly any one in America, white or black, believed that 700 Negroes would be commissioned in the Army of the United States to receive positions of honor not only beside her other troops, but on the field of battle with the flowers of the English and French as well. Everything possible to prevent, seemed somehow or other to arouse.
A startling war photo snapped by a member of the U. S. Signal Corps in the heat of the Argonne offensive. The tiny black figures which can be seen on the horizon are Negro American soldiers, advancing cautiously behind a smoke screen and under a heavy barrage of German fire, toward the German lines. Note the devastation of the land, which has been swept clear of all life and vegetation by the constant bombing of the German heavy artillery.
The men were put through the bitterest drill in the hottest sun, under the most scorching orders the English language might devise. They represented every section of the United States. Not once did they break. It was the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1917 that they received their commissions, forwarded by the President of the United States. The hour and day and month, a year later, became famous not only in their history, but in the history of the civilized world as well.
THE FIGHTING
...
"Death to the Germans!" This was the battle cry of the colored troops who went overseas to fight in the great War for Democracy. The above scene, snapped by a Negro fighter, shows what happened to the German troopers who doubted the efficacy of the black man's weapons. Below, Major General Eli A. Helmick decorating black soldiers with the Distinguished Service Cross in recognition of their exceptional bravery.
Above, black troops, their gas masks adjusted, crawl slowly out of their concealing trenches as they prepare for an advance upon the enemy. Below more troops—a veritable sea of them—waiting to board a transport steamer at Newport News, Virginia.

205 Granted Diplomas at Commencement Exercises; Awards Given
Two hundred and five members of the 1934 class of the Dunbar High School were handed diplomas in the annual commencement exercises held in the school auditorium last night (Wednesday). Mrs. Mary A. McNeill, member of the Board of Education, presided. William H. Hastie, assistant solicitor in the Department of Interior, was the principal speaker. Mr. Hastie, in his talk, paid tribute to the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and sited such men as William Monroe Trotter and Neval H. Thomas, both deceased, as characters worthy of emulation by class members. He also offered some information on the effect the housing project will have on the economic status of the Negro race
The All High School Orchestra, under the direction of Henry L. Grant, was heard in concert recital before the exercises. Other musical reditions were distributed throughout the program. Reverend Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, delivered the invocation and benediction. The Misses Mary S. Reid and Grace Hunter were class speakers. The former's topic, "Youth and its Opportunity," was well received as was also "Youth, Know Thyself," the theme of the latter's dissertation.
80 COLORED BOYS RECEIVE PATROL HONOR PINS
Smothers School Youngster Given Singular Service Medal as Awards Eighty youngsters, members of the Boy Patrol Corps, of Divisions 10-13, public schools of the District of Columbia, were awarded service pins for outstanding work during the past school year, last week. The lads were tendered the pins following tribute to their efforts by Isaac R. Gann, president of the American Automotive Association, sponsors of the boy patrol movement.
Still another lad, Henry Simmons, a pupil of the Smothers School and a patrolman at that institution, was granted the special Merit Award Medal at the same time. Simmons was the only Negro listed in the few lads who were thus cited for having performed some service in which the saving of a life was involved. These medals are awarded upon testimony of witnesses who are able to corroborate reports that the youth in question has either risked his life in the performance of his duty, or has in some way been responsible for saving the life of a child. The recipients of the pins are likewise recommended by principals of the schools they attend. Some schools submit the names of one, two and still some others

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR C. R. DREW
Last Rites for Uncle of Nationally Known Athlete
Funeral services for Charles R. Drew, a life long resident of this city, were conducted from Boyd's Funeral Home, Nineteenth and L Streets, Northwest, Monday afternoon. The Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, officiated and delivered the main eulogy. The Rev. H. H. Hennings, of Arlington, assisted and paid tribute to Mr. Drew.
Characterized as a "faithful husband, a loving father and a good home-maker," by the Rev. Brooks, Mr. Drew, brother of Richard T. Drew, whose son Charles is a nationally famous athlete, was laid to rest in Harmony Cemetery. Born in this city 49 years ago, the deceased by his activities became well known in social, fraternal and athletic circles. He was one of the few Negroes recognized as experts in carpet and rug treatment and perservation. Many years of his life were spent in the employ of the C. A. Hinkle, W. B. Moses, W. and J. Sloane and the S. Groome Eareckson companies.
Mr. Drew died of a heart attack at his home, 312 G Street, Northeast, Friday night. A previous attack had resulted in a confinement of a week. This, however, passed and Mr. Drew had returned to his work. Stricken again a few hours after his dinner, Mr. Drew succumbed shortly before midnight. Survivors are his widow, Mrs. Esther Drew, three daughters, Martha, Mabel Baker and Louise, and one son, Lloyd.

High School Students Forced from Highs Store
Four high school students were ordered from tables at a Highs Ice Cream store, First Street and Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, last week.
According to information received by The Tribute, the boys entered the store, purchased some cream and sat down at the table to eat it. A white woman clerk ordered the group from the table and told them Negroes were not permitted to use the tables. The youths, all Dunbar students, left the place.
Highs has stores in many colored sections of the city and only recently the New Negro Alliance placed pickets in front of one of the stores in the 1800 block of Seventh Street for refusing to hire Negro clerks.
Local labor unions also threatened to place all of the Highs stores under ban for failure to employ union labor.

FIRST LADY LOSES FIGHT FOR FREE SUMMER LUNCHES
School Children Not to be Fed During Vacation; Appeal Spurned
The Work Planning Committee of the District Emergency Works Administration turned "thumbs down" on the recommendations of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt for the continuance of free-lunches to needy school pupils, at a special session, Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Roosevelt had made extensive efforts towards caring for the children in the same measure they were cared for during the school year.
Although the committee spurned her suggestion for the free-lunch program, the First Lady's request that the adult education and nursery school schedules be extended through the summer was approved. It is very likely that this continuance will be adopted. Funds are available for the extension of these two programs until July 1. Additional money will be sought in the request for the July grant from the Federal Emergency Relief Administration.
According to officials of the Work Planning unit, Mrs. Roosevelt's request in regard to the free lunches was considered inadvisable for several reasons. These are listed as follows: there are no supervisory forces at the schools in the summer; that it would not justify a student to walk to school for only a lunch; that there are no available traffic policemen to protect them at crossings during the summer, and because there are items in the family relief budgets for providing food for children where cases are determined as needy.

PICTURE TAKING
LATEST RACKET
IN D. C. SCHOOLS
Hundreds of parents in the District are protesting against school principals asking and collecting money from graduates of the local schools for pictures which the graduates do not receive.
Some schools are asked to give five cents while others are asked to give sums ranging from three cents up. In addition to this cost the students have to spend another sum if they wish to own one of the pictures. The board of education has not endorsed this latest racket in the schools.
Large sums of money are collected in the schools each year through this scheme. The TRIBUNE does not charge for publishing the pictures of graduates. All expenses in connection with the publishing of the page of graduates last week in The TRIBUNE was borne entirely by the paper.
