THE FOUR MEN
When President Roosevelt met President Vincent, of Haiti, the two drank to each other's health, as the photograph shows. The two are seen at the Union Club.

EX-MASONIC CALLS NO.4 HEADWAIVES EQUIPMENT HEARING PATHETIC
Attorneys for Frank D. McKinney, past grand master of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge of Masons, F.A.A.M., charged with embezzling $916.84 of the order's funds, waived a hearing when the case was called in Police Court Friday morning.

WELLS ENTERS NOT GUILTY PLEA
Well Known Police Character and Companion Released Under Bond
Harry (Weak Knees) Wells, well known in police circles and at one time reputed numbers baron, pleaded not guilty when arraigned in the District Supreme Court Friday on a charge of distributing counterfeit money.
Wells was released under a bond of $2,500 while a companion, Samuel Stevenson, who was also arrested with him, was placed under a bond of $1,500.
The pair was arrested by Federal agents last month on suspicion of distributing $5 and $10 spurious bank notes. They were arrested on Bladensburg Road where the money was said to have been passed.
Government agents expressed the opinion that Wells and Stevenson are "passers" for a ring of white counterfeiters.
Charles E. Schrom, chief engineer of the District Fire Department was urged in a letter this week by Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the public service committee of the Southwest Civic Association, to assign the two new hose wagons and new pumping engine which the Fire Department will purchase, to the Southwest section. Dr. Johnson pointed out that the Southwest Civic Association fought shoulder to soulder with Fire Department officials in urging Congress to authorize the apparatus, and stated that the records show that the chief engineer and the superintendent of machinery of the Fire Department and the Southwest Civic Association were the only forces which testified before both houses of Congress for the equipment.
$23,500 Available
The sum of $23,500 was made available on July 1 for the purchase of the equipment.
A vigorous demand by the civic body last month that the new apparatus be assigned to No. 4 and No. 13 engine companies, after President Roosevelt had authorized the equipment, brought a noncommittal response from Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen, who has jurisdiction over the Fire Department. Hazen said he would take
MUNICIPAL JUDGE STILL UNCERTAIN
Friends of Scott Said to be Waging Quiet Fight for Appointment
Judge James A. Cobb continues to hear cases in the Municipal Court while Democrats here are wondering who will succeed him on the bench.
Several names have been mentioned as likely successors, but so far the President has failed to name the man. Armond W. Scott was the first name recommended to the President by the Attorney General, but his selection brought forth such a howl of protest from the local bar association that Mr. Roosevelt sent the name back.
Since then the name of R. R. Horner has been frequently heard in connection with the post. Others who also are said to be aspirants are Emory B. Smith and Williams Houston. In the meantime Judge Cobb received the backing of the white bar groups for reappointment.
It is understood that Scott's candidacy is being quietly waged by several prominent Democrats and it is said he still has a chance to be appointed.

Sheriff "Recognizes" No One in Crowd That Murderd Youth
BASTROP, La.—The body of a 26-year-old youth was cut down from an oak tree in the public square, Tuesday.
Sheriff J. F. Carpenter said he recognized no member of the mob which stormed parish prison Monday night. District Attorney F. W. Hawthorne, who told the mob he sympathized with its attitude, would not say what action he planned.
The man, Andrew McCloud, was suspected of an attempt to attack a white girl Saturday. The mob began forming at nightfall and within a few hours numbered 3,000. It tore down a telephone pole and used it to batter locks from four doors.
Throat Cut
Limp from a beating and blood gushing from a knife wound in his neck. McCloud was dragged out with a noose already around his neck. He was lifted to the top of an auto, the free end of the rope tied to a limb, and the car driven from under him.
McCloud was arrested Sunday, some hours after a white girl reported an attempted attack 25 miles away Saturday night. She and her escort were returning to Bastrop from a dance when their car ran into a ditch. She started afoot to a filling station. A man stepped out of the night and started to drag her into a woods. Before he could get her off the road a car approached, frightening him away. McCloud was said by authorities to have confessed.

JOHN P. DAVIS
the House of Representatives in the State Capitol here Monday.
Before three hundred hostile white cotton gin owners, appalled at the spectacle of a Negro in their midst, John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, battled for the rights of Negro workers in Oklahoma cotton gins who would be affected by the cotton ginning marketing agreement. The public hearing to consider the marketing agreement was a state hearing conducted by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration.
Following out the contention which he had made at the general hearing in Washington last May, Davis vigorously protested the attempt of the Oklahoma Cotton Ginners Association to secure the benefits of a government marketing agreement while it sought to evade responsibility for a code of fair compensation under the NRA which would give some aid to labor conditions of the thousands of Negro workers in Oklahoma cot- (Continued on page 2)

Dean Houston Answers His Critics in Famous Crawford Murder Case
Says Crawford Did Not Get Into the Mess to Raise Constitutional Issues
MAN UNWILLING TO GAMBLE WITH LIFE
Says Client Did Not Want to Appeal. It was His Case and Life
Dean Charles Houston, of the Howard Law School and chief counsel in the now famous Crawford case, in the following article answers Miss Helen Boardman and Miss Martha Guening, both white, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People investigators, who recently criticised Mr. Houston for the manner in which he conducted the case.
The two white women wrote an article in The Nation last month stating that Houston "backed down" in the case. In the same magazine for this month Attorney Houston defends his action. The article is by Attorney Houston and Attorney Leon A. Ransom and follows:
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People always insists that cases tentatively proposed to it satisfy two tests before it will handle them: (1) Does the case involve principles on the individual because he is a Negro? (2) Does the case involve principles on policies affecting Negroes generally? It entered the George Crawford case on this basis. It drew to Crawford's arrest in Boston on January 12, 1933, certain rumors had gained currency in Virginia that Crawford was not the real murderer of Mrs. Agnes Boeing Isley and Mrs. Mina Buckner in Middleburg on January 18, 1932, but that she was the real murderer of a white man. When the press reported that Crawford had been arrested in Boston and was held for return to Virginia, the national office of the N.A.A.C. repaired the office of the Boston president of the Boston branch of the association, to investigate.
The report from Boston on January 20 was that Crawford denied all guilt, that he had a complete alibi; that he had come to Boston from Virginia about September 6, 1931, and had not been out of the city since that time. He was accused of the murders; that the Virginia authorities were on their way to take Crawford back and that Mr. Wilson was going to reasult. Rendition hearings were begun before S. D. Bacalupo, Assistant Attorney General, who was charged with Crawford being represented by Mr. Wilson and J. Weston Allen, former Attorney-General of Massachusetts. The national office sent Helen Boardman, who had made several noteworthy investigative reports, to the primary assignment was to get the temper of Loudoun County, in which Middleburg was located, and determine the risk of a lynching if Crawford was returned. Misa Boardman incidentally picked up certain information casting doubt on Crawford's guilt. The report this back to the national office.
Basing its action on the Boston alibi, which was supported by witnesses, Miss Boardman's report, and the further story that he was a burglar in Virginia injustice—having been sentenced in Richmond about 1925, so the story went, to nine years in the penitentiary for receiving some carrion, and he was sentenced to fine in good faith released its public proclaiming Crawford's innocence of the Middleburg murders and calling on its friends to support its fight to prevent Crawford's return to Virginia. The Governor of Massachusetts to return Crawford to Virginia, the writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge Lowell, and the subsequent proceedings in the federal courts are well known and need to be examined. The United States Supreme Court refused to hear the case, all the energies of the association and counsel were directed to ward keeping Crawford in Massachusetts. The actions could be started in Virginia, and before counsel had free access to Crawford to check with him the various facts discovered. By that time the case had achieved its goal, and the association had become committed to it beyond any possibility of withdrawal.
When counsel began to investigate the case in Virginia and check their investigations against Crawford's stole and the Bosson's beep, he began to appear. No criticism whatever is made or intended of the conduct of the case in Boston. Messas. Wilson and Allen made a decided, able bid for Crawford with the assistance of a lawyer, which continued on page 31.

SCOTTSBORO BOYS GRANTED STAY BY ALABAMA COURT Case Cannot be Taken Up Until October 1 in Regular Session
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—A stay of execution was granted to Heywood Patterson and Clarence Norris, two of the nine boys under sentence of death in the infamous Scottboro case. The stay was granted Saturday by the Alabama Supreme Court on receipt of an application for rehearing for the condemned men.
The court in confirming the sentences on June 28 had fixed August 31 as the date of execution, but on receipt of the application for rehearings the sentences were stayed, as the court is in recess.
To Be Heard October 1
Unless a special session of the court is called, the matter cannot be taken up until October 1, when the tribunal reconvenes in regular session. With the application for a rehearing was a statement that the case would be appealed to the United States Supreme Court in event the Alabama high tribunal again confirmed the sentences.
Time Point Raised
In the Patterson case in which the court sustained a motion of attorney General Thomas E. Knight, Jr., to strike out the bill of exceptions, holding that the time limit had expired before the appeal was filed, the attorney for the men raised the point that the time should have been calculated from December 6, 1933, the date of sentence, instead of December 1, the date of conviction.
Both boys were convicted in December of last year in Morgan County Circuit Court of charges of attacking Victoria Price, white, a board a Southern Railway freight train in Jackson County on March 25, 1931. It was Patterson's third conviction, and Norris's second on the charge.
Ruby Bates, white, who testified at the first hearing that she was attacked by the boys, denied it at a later trial.

Dr. Mordecai Johnson president of Howard University, Mrs. Mary Church Terrrell and J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, are among many of the prominent persons who were identified with Beale Street, Memphis, Tenn, in one way or another in early youth, according to the new novel, Beale Street, by George W. W. Lee.
Dr. Johnson was at one time a waiter in one of the street's restaurants.
The author, Mr. Lee, who has been a resident of the famous thoroughfare for years, served as lieutenant in the war and has been active in American Legion circles. It is his first book.
The book is non-fiction and deals with the famous characters of the street who have become nationally known in music and other fields.
URGES CHURCH TO COMBINE FORCES WITH N.A.A.C.P.
URGES CHURCH TO COMBINE FORCES WITH N.A.A.C.P.
Speaker Outlines Program at 25th Annual Meeting of Association
OKLAHOMA CITY—Declaring that "the N.A.A.C.P. and the Negro Church both are led on by visions so similar and objectives so identical that it is a marvel to me that no one has seriously studied and boldly proclaimed the mutual aid that each can lend the other, due to their interpenetrations," the Rev. J. Raymond Henderson, pastor of Wheat Street Baptist Church of Atlanta, stirred the large audience at the Friday night session of the 25th annual conference of the association where he presented the 20th Spinning medal to Dean W. T. B. Williams, of Tuskegee Institute.
Calling for "a frankness of understanding which shall bring these two forces together with power so irresistible as to greatly accelerate our progress as an oppressed minority group in a hostile and prejudiced society," Rev. Mr. Henderson urged the association "to lay the foundation to its future support by interpreting its own objectives as truly religious and thus claim the support which religion imparts to its ideals. By so doing, the association will unconsciously render a great service to the Negro church, and will rescue its religion from priestliness. "The chief trouble with all re-
J. T.—Where must I go for better treatment and more contentment?
Ans.: The State of OKLAHOMA would appeal to you more than any state in the union. You will meet up with a different type of people who will make your whole life seem new and interesting again.
T. G.—Was anyone the cause of my daughter's death?
Ans.: No one was responsible for her death. She was drowned and no one PUSHED her into the water. She was not a good swimmer and could not help the misfortune.
L. M. S.—Why has my life been so full of sorrow? I have always tried to do the right thing. Are there any happy days for me?
Ans: Plenty of happy days and good times ahead for you. I see your HUSBAND and your SON steadily employed this summer. This will make a change in your life for you will be able to have the things you want.
W. R. R.—The girl that I love does she love me or the boy that I think she is in love with?
Ans: No she loves you. You had better not tell her that you love her until you are ready to see the preacher for she is waiting for the opportunity to MARRY you. You and she should be happy together.
M. V. S.—Will my husband stop his drinking or what will happen to him?
Ans.: He is determined to drink every drop that he can get his hands on and he is not going to stop until he makes himself SICK over it. After a few uncomfortable sick days he will soon learn that it is best to let it alone un-
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JULY 12. 1934
The life of W. C. Handy, author of "Beale Street Blues" and "St. Louis Blues" is graphically told. Beale Street is not simply or even primarily, a book about blues or even about Negro music. Just as the Negro population of Beale Street epitomizes, to some extent, the urban Negro, so its story, the story of one of the most famous streets in the world, is the story of the urban Negro's progress. As Roll, Jordan, Roll tells the story of the Southern plantation Negro, so Beale Street pictures the life of the Negro who, casting himself free from the protection and domination of the white man, has gone to the city and built a unique and independent racial life there. Beale Street will undoubtedly take its place as the season's most important revelation of American Negro life just as Roll, Jordan) Roll filled that place, ast fall.
ligion, and particularly that of the Negro, is that it is too emotional... It concerns itself with intellectual difficulties in order to escape moral and ethical realities. Its idealism keeps its head in the clouds while its soul remains insensitive to life's inhumanities. The N.A.A.C.P. in my judgement, is the best escape for the Negro church from this meaningless and anemic type of religion. We must make the church see that through the N.A.A.C.P. its world may become flesh, its abstracts may become concrete, its ideals real."
Suggest Program
The speaker then suggested a four-point program for the N.A.A.C.P. First: An open bid for the support of the Negro church; second: Urging Negro churches to send their ministers as delegates to N.A.A.C.P. annual conferences; third: organize a department of church memberships and bring every Negro church into it, and fourth: organize a college branch of the N.A.A.C.P. upon the campus of every Negro school in the United States.
"The Negro church," the speaker declared is "the most potent factor in the life history of the Negro group in America." He recognized however, "its waning power with the spread of intellectualism among our group" which needed the rejuvenating force of the N.A.A.C.P. program.
Policeman Beats Robbery Suspect in Making Arrest

less he drinks in moderation.
L. C. W.—Will you please advise if I will be able to take care of the payment on my home?
Ans.: You will be able to raise the money to meet the interest on the note due on your home before the first of SEPTEMBER. I see you working for a part of this money.
R. L.—Does my boy friend mean me well and is what he tells me the truth?
Ans.: He means you well but you know as well as he does that he is NOT telling the truth about you and he going together a few years ago. This is just a line that he pulls on all of the little girls he runs around with and he makes the majority of them believe it.
H. B. B.—When will my husband come home?
Ans.: Not for a few years. Do not encourage the officials in the institution to let him visit you for it will only make him worse. His mind is not altogether as alert as it should be as yet.
G. L. J.—In what line would I make best at as I really want to make some good money?
Ans.: You can make as much TEACHING MUSIC as you can make as a BEAUTICIAN. If it is money that you want, then take up beauty culture work but if it is the most congenial work, then stick to your music.
M. A. G.—Does my man friend love me or is he just fooling me?
Ans.: He is not trying to pull a fast deal over you. His FATHER is sick and he can't make calls at your home as he would wish to, but this will not last for long. Have patience for a little while longer and he will show you just how he feels about you.

N.A.A.C.P. Asks Congress to Probe NRA Treatment of Race
Resolutions of 25th Annual Conference Score AAA Farm Program, Hit Lynching and Segregation, Support Unemployment Insurance
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—Resolutions condemning the administration of New Deal policies as they affect Negroes, charging officials with meeting the appeals of colored people with indifference, and demanding a congressional in investigation into the treatment of Negroes under the N.R.A. were adopted here at the twenty-fifth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Turning more than ever in its history to consideration of the economic plight of the colored people, the association in its resolutions, scores the administration of the federal farm program and asks the AAA to improve the lot of sharecroppers and casual farm labor.
A.F. of L. Scored
No discrimination in the employment of skilled and unskilled workers on building construction and other projects financed wholly or in part with federal funds, is demanded. Negroes are urged to join labor unions and seek to improve their lot as workers by collective bargaining while at the same time the leadership of the American Federation of Labor and the railroad brotherhoods are condemned for "continuing to weaken the labor movement by indifference to the exclusion or segregation of Negro workers from its local and international unions." Lynching was once more denounced and a federal anti-lynching law asked of the next congress, with the assertion that in the last congress a "small block of wilful obstructionists in the senate from

hands of the North Carolinians.
With the tying and winning runs on the bases and the mighty Toots Brown, Hillsdale clean-up man anxiously waving his big war club at the plate in the final half of the ninth inning, the stage was all set for the Dales, local semi-pro nine, to walk out of Griffith Stadium with the scalps of the Winston-Semel Black Sox, opposing team in the first of a series of intercity diamond clashes, Sunday. But Sloppy Lindsay, sensational firstsacker of the visitors, had entirely different thoughts about the matter, and so the 'Dales took a 5-4 defeat at the hands of the North Carolinians.
Lindsay, whose rubber-man antics around the initial sack had drawn the continuous applause of the crowd of 4,000 fans throughout the contest, leaped high in air to snare Brown's hard-hit drive which had two bases labeled all over it and end the hostilities for the day. As the firstbaseman made the catch, throngs of fans, which doubtless included many natives of the Tar Heel State, rushed onto the field extending the glad hand to Lindsay and his teammate, Slick Coleman, whose hurling had turned back the 'Dales in several tight pinches.
The Hillsdales opened that long-to-be-remembered ninth with all the aspects of a victorious rally only to see Lindsay's great catch rob them of the deal. Willie Hope pinched-batted for Spike Bland, Dale hurler, and whacked a double to left and then the speedy Fauntroy made it a perfect day at bat by collecting his fifth hit in the form of a Texas Leaguer to center. Hope, however, was forced to linger at third on the play. Runt White, who had previously put the locals on even terms with the Sox, flied out to short right and Johnny Haywood struck out bringing the powerful-swinging Brown to the plate. Thus, the stage was set for Lindsay's spectacular play and the Dales "glorious defeat."
The visitors tallied the winning run in the lucky seventh when Harston tripled to right center and trotted home on Lindsay's long fly to Brown in rightfield. The remaining quartet of runs were chalked up in the fourth frame. Dave Campbell opened the session with a three-bagger to right and scored on Lindsay's single. Marcum flied out to center and Clark forced Lindsay at second but Soup Turner juggled the pill and all runners were safe. The firstsacker tallied a moment later as Ernie Johnson threw wildly to first after making a great stop of Montgomery's grounder. Another miscue, this time by Haywood, let Clark score. Thomas hit a double to the leftfield foul line to score Montgomery with the last tally.
The "Dales who had initiated the scoring with a run in the third off the slants of Slick Coleman, the North Carolinians' ace moundsman, deadlocked matters in their half of the fourth. In the third. Fauntroy was safe as Outfielder Clark lost his high fly in the sun after Bland had gotten a base on balls. Hayt to right center cleaning the bases Bland was forced at the plate by Brown but the fast Fauntroy scored from third as Miller, visitors' shortstop, fumbled Williams's grounder.
Ernie Johnson and Barty Black were both victims of Slick Coleman's fast curving ball in the fourth, both being struck by the ball to gain a free base. Fauntroy heat out a hit to short, and up came Runt White, Wilberforce University's pride and joy. White promptly poled a ponderous poke to rightgt center cleaning the bases and tying the count. He died on the bases as Haywood filed out. From this point on until the seventh for the Sox and the ninth for the 'Dales, the opposing hurlers had the situation well in hand, the only semblance of a rally coming in the sixth when Fauntroy singled with two gone and stole second. Both hurlers were brilliant in their performance each granting opposing batters nine safe blows

Black Sox, Hillsdales Rematched for July 22
Letters and telephone calls that have been poured into this office and the office of Joseph H. Maxwell, promoter of the Winston-Salem Black Sox-Hillsdale baseball game, resulted late this week in the announcement of a return meeting between these two stellar diamond aggregations.
Mr. Maxwell told the Tribune sports editor that he had actually received more requests for another game between these two teams than has been the case in all his eleven years of baseball promotion. He immediately went about signing the principals for a return engagement, and booked Griffith Stadium for Sunday, July 22.
The reappearance of Sloppy Lindsay, first baseman, whose sensational catch of a line drive halted a ninth inning rally and gave his team victory in the Sunday encounter, and of Slick Coleman, whose calmness in that memorable last frame was the mark of a star, will be hailed by local fandom.
Clark Griffith, president of the Washington Senators and owner of Griffith Stadium, told the Tribune. Wednesday, that it had been a long time since he had seen a major league game with more class and clean-cut competition than was in evidence in the first clash between the visiting Black Sox and the local Dale outfit.
BUCS HUMBLED BY POWER OF RAJAH DePRIEST NINE
Washington Pirates Succumb to 15-5 Lacing by Northeast Aggregation
The Rajah-DePriest A.C. slugged its way to a decisive 15-5 victory over the Washington Pirates on the formers' grounds at Sixtieth and Clay Streets, Northeast, Sunday. What was expected to be a closely-contested affair turned out to be a slaughter for the Northeasterners. Their bats played a literal tattoo on the offerings of two Buc pitchers. Fifteen safeties accounted for a like number of runs. The Pirates opened the proceedings by pushing a single tally across in their half of the first. This lead was shortlived, however, as the Rajahs returned to an assault on alien pitching to the tune of 6 scores. Although this was enogh to win the game, the home lads added 2 in the third, 1 in the fourth, 2 in the sixth and 4 more in the eighth.
All this time Slim Barnes, subway ace of the Rajahs, was holding the Pirates at bay. L. Mavorite's 4 hits in 5 times at bat led the individual hitting efforts of the day.

TIGERS DROP TWO TO ANACOSTIA 6-1 AND 8-3
LeDroit Clan Outplayed in Sabbath Twin Bill McKinnon Pounded
Sherman Baylor's LeDroit Tiger baseball team took it on the chin twice from Doc Green's Anacostia Athletics, on the former's diamond at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, Sunday, Ossie Stewart and Bill Reid, Anacostia flingers, collaborated in handing the Jungaleers 6-1 and 8-3 lacings.
Hank Williams, former all-round star of the Armstrong High School baseball team, toed the slab for the LeDroiters in the opening fray, and pitched well. He fanned 12 Southeast batters in between the granting of 10 safeties as against 11 given up by his opponent Stewart. The latter, however, had all the better of effectiveness in the pinches. Herman Scott, another former General star, proved both the hero and the/goat in the initial contest. His 3 hits in 4 trips to the plate led the individual batters, but his 2 errors afield were more costly than any of his hits were beneficial. Bill Reid outpitched the veteran McKinnon from start to finish in the night cap. The visitors jumped the offerings of the big Tiger right-hander early in the game and, continuing their onslaught, collected 15 safeties before hostilities were ceased.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LAOY With the Tribune
It is not altogether the policy of this contemporary to condone the crucifixion of an unpopular athlete by yanking out the nails and driving them in again, but it is with a great deal of interest that your writer reads the column, "Sport Shots," edited by his good friend W. Rollo Wilson, in the July 7 issue of the Pittsburgh Courier.
The article, anent the loss of a baseball game by the New York Black Yankees to the Philadelphia Stars, sets forth the action of one player as the factor which caused the loss of a 8-hit game and other wise spoiled a splendid contest.
Our interest is more or less centered around "Show Boat" Thomas, the New York first baseman, to whom Mr. Wilson attributes the defeat. A little less than two years ago Thomas, cited by the Tribune as one of the greatest fielding first baseman on either this or the other side of "the line," was declared just as poor in the matter of sportsmanship as he was wealthy in the matter of ability. It was this failing that cost his teammate, Bill Holland, the verdict in the game referred to by the "Philadelphia scribe" (pardon me, Rollo).
The item in "Sport Shots" reads as follows:
"The Yanks and the Philly Stars played a great baseball game one night last week. The Stars won out 1 to 0. Bill Holland, still one of baseball's greatest pitchers, gave the Bolden-men three hits while his mates were gathering four off Slim Jones. Sensational fielding backed up the work of the mound toilers. But one incident, the effort of a player to "pass the buck" to umpire Locke, spoiled the game.
"The Yanks and the Philly Stars played a game one night last week. The Stars won outland, still one of baseball's greatest pitchers, men three hits while his mates were gatherer Jones. Sensational fielding backed up the wow toilers. But one incident, the effort of a play-buck" to umpire Locke, spoiled the game.
"Chaney White had doubled with one dog son was purposefully passed. Paul Casey came a grounder between first and second which Shields fielded and threw to second to force Wilson, ately returned the throw to first base to do possible. In the meantime, of course, White base and was still stepping some.
"Locke waved Casey safe and Thomas, first started to jump up and down and protest the from his teammates attracted his attention a ball to Clark but White had crossed with the game. Immediately the first baseman and the surrounded the umpire to shove him around and tests to his verdict.
"Fans rushed on the field and only the arm the trouble spot ended the disturbance. They had crossed the field at the end of the inning fans booed him and he grabbed a handful of the stands. That started more excitement when to quell.
"With two down in the ninth it was Thor He strode to the plate and the fans rushed to of the catcher to boo and curse him. Man wisely sent John Beckwitt in to bat for him.
"Regardless of the justice of Locke's deed the game some of the Yanks admitted that O Thomas put himself in a bad light and certain no good. People in the neighborhood of Passo tests against night games there and it has been for Harry Passon to keep his field going at night well may cause a cessation of does, nobody will be blame but "Show Boat."
Which I believe bears out the contention in the couple years back that Thomas could be a sensat if equipped with blinders and ear-muffs to adult consciousness."

Yancey immediately returned the throw to first base to double up Casey, if possible. In the meantime, of course, White had rounded third base and was still stepping some.
"Locke waved Casey safe and Thomas, forgetting White, started to jump up and down and protest the decision. Yells from his teammates attracted his attention and he threw the ball to Clark but White had crossed with the only run of the game. Immediately the first baseman and the rest of the Yanks surrounded the umpire to shove him around and add vocal protests to his verdict.
"Fans rushed on the field and only the arrival of police at the trouble spot ended the disturbance. Then, after Thomas had crossed the field at the end of the inning to his bench, the fans booed him and he grabbed a handful of dirt and threw in the stands. That started more excitement which needed police to quell.
"With two down in the ninth it was Thomas's turn to bat. He strode to the plate and the fans rushed to the screen back of the catcher to boo and curse him. Manager Scales then wisely sent John Beckwith in to bat for him."
"Regardless of the justice of Locke's decision—and after the game some of the Yanks admitted that Casey was safe—Thomas put himself in a bad light and certainly did baseball no good. People in the neighborhood of Passon Field filed protests against night games there and it has been a difficult task for Harry Passon to keep his field going at night and this incident well may cause a cessation of games there. And if it does, nobody will be blame but "Show Boat" Thomas."
Which I believe bears out the contention in that Tribune article of a couple years back that Thomas could be a sensation on the diamond—if equipped with blinders and ear-muffs to adulterate that "gallery-consciousness."
Ashford Stars as Local Champs Win Baltimore Holiday Twin Bill
Slugging Outfielder of Georgetown Athletics Accounts for All of Team's Runs in Double Shutout; Winners Exhibit Stellar Defensive Play
BALTIMORE, Md.—Benny Ashford's three doubles featured the winning of an Independence Day doubleheader from the Silver Moon A.C., of this city, by the Georgetown Athletics, of Washington at Druid Hill Park, here last Wednesday. The slugging right-fielder of the visitors contributed a pair of lusty two-baggers to enable the Capital City-ans to grab the opening game by a score of 2-0 and then smashed another bingle of like denomination for the sake of victory in the night-cap, 1-0.
P. O. LEADS GOV'T LEAGUE: COLLAPSE APPEARS PROBABLE
Stanley Grant's Post Office outfit was perched atop the Departmental Baseball League as the week began. A victory over the fast and coming Public Works Administration nine placed the Carriers ahead of Jimmie Hughes's Government Printing Office aggregation.
A marked lack of interest and co-operation on the part of athletes in the governmental departments has threatened the league throughout the current year. The first half, scheduled to close, July 1, was materially hampered by these failings. Forfeitures mingled with frequent rains to literally wreck the oldest colored diamond league in the Capital
Noble efforts on the part of C. J. Jones, president of the organization, A. H. Dedeaux, ampire, John Tatum, scorer, and two veteran managers, Grant and Hughes, have been all but futile toward the end of maintaining a strong league. The youngsters who comprise the P.W.A. team and their youthful manager also deserve some credit for the good work they have done in the interest of this year's organization.

Ott Butler's single in the second inning of the first game, coming directly behind the first of Ashford's wallops, netted the init/ score. Again the hefty outfielder of the Dorsey clan doubled in the ninth inning. This time the hit scored Bun Colbert who had singled ahead of him.
The same combination manipulated a similar feat in the finale's fourth frame for the only score of that game.
Four double plays together with some spectacular support on the part of his infielder, aided Virgil Coates in garner the decision in the second affair. The Georgetown right-hander let the Moons down with 4 hits, but it was largely due to the efforts of his mates that the Baltimoreans were restricted to such meagre portions. His opponent, Mathews, was also stingy in the matter of hit allowance, but the invaders managed to obtain 6 off his delivery. Brown, for Georgetown, and Dorsey, for the Moons, faced one another in the opening contest and granted 7 and 6 safeties respectively.

BABE JONES STOPS THOMPSON FOR BALTIMORE WIN
Monumental Racketer Wins From D. C. Veteran in Straight Sets
BATIMORE, Md.—With Babe Jones taking the measure of Ted Thompson, the first intercity tennis match between the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. of Washington and the Baltimore tennis team of Druid Hill Park went to the latter. The Washington aggregation bowed 4 to 3.
Stillwell, of Washington, drew first blood by downing Moore and the Jones-Thompson tilt followed with Ted taking a good trouncing 6.0, 6.3. Thompson was way of his form. Clyde Freeman scored the second Washington singles victory by defeating Bryant while Freeman and Jones handily disposed of Weaver and Hill in the doubles. The next dual match will be played here July 21, when the Washington squad will face the invaders.
In Saturday's engagement the local group played without the service of Talley Holmes, Frank Perkins, John F. N. Wilkinson, Roscoe Lewis, Melvin Lancaster, Eddie Davis and Sterling Brown, all of whom are expected to meet the Baltimore players in the next dual Hardy Jones and Flippin played bang-up tennis although defeated.

CUBS AVENGE ONE DEFEAT BY THREE WINS IN WEEK
Drop Initial July Fourth Clash to Myrtles, But Trounce Deanwood
Three games were won and one lost by the scrappy D. C. Cubs baseball team during the week of July Fourth, when the youthful Northeast aggregation dropped the opening Independence Day contest to the Myrtle A. C., and then returned to even the score with that club and go on to snatch a double-decision from the Deanwood A. C., Sunday.
The Cubs' loss was by a score of 2-1, the Myrtles coming from behind in their last two innings to turn what appeared since the first inning to be a 1-0 Cub victory into defeat. Jenkins and Hepborn engaged in a pitching duel in this affair.
Evidently peeved at the way the tide was turned against them in the initial encounter, the Cub batters returned to collect a total of 16 hits good for 17 runs in the 5 inning nightcap. Five runs in the first and 4 in each of the 3 frames thereafter settled the issue early.
Eight runs in their third inning practically clinched the opening game of the Sabbath double-header with the Deanwood clan. The winners pounded the offerings of Lacy for a total of 22 hits and after the second frame, the verdict was never in doubt.
Two runs pushed over just before darkness halted the proceedings and gave the Cubs their triumph in the final game of the Sunday twin bill.

Ducky Kemp and his Harrisburg Giants baseball club will he to this city this week-end for an engagement with the crack Heurich Brewers (white) semi-pro nine, at Griffith Stadium. The contest is booked for Sunday afternoon and will mark the debut of interracial baseball in Washington for 1934. The Pennsylvania outfit has been going strong this season. The diminutive Kemp, drafted for the managerial reins, has gathered a host of first class performers into his fold. Several former big leaguers are present in his roster serving as a balancing agent for the large number of youngsters he has wearing his colors.
D.C. Boys on Visiting Club
Four local products will be seen in action with the Giants. Besides Kemp, whose ability as an outfielder is known throughout this section of the country but who is doing little actual playing at present, Washingtonians will have the opportunity to witness Jelly Jackson, Mace Jefferson and Ev Jeffries in strange livery. All three of these boys are products of the Washington sandlots. Jackson is perhaps the most outstanding of the trio. The former Washington Pirate, Pleasant Plain and Washington Royal infielder is as seintillanting as they make them in his shortstop play. He had

Elongated Dash Artist is Hi Annual Fourth of July Ga Midget Tankmen Have
With a perfect rhythm of foot and arm movement, Ernest Marshall, elongated star of the Francis swimming team, splashed to a victory in the 100-yard freestyle event in 63 seconds to open the Sixth Annual Fourth of July swimming meet at the Francis Swimming Pools, last week.
The meet, which was sponsored by the Welfare and Recreational Association of Public Buildings and Parks, was one of the finest ever held in the District. A large crowd was on hand. Marshall was the individual star capturing first place in all senior events, the 100-yard freestyle, 150-yard medley swim and the 200-yard freestyle. Crawford Boggs, Francis's diminutive star, created a sensation winning both the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard freestyle for Juniors, nosing out U. Tyler who for the past several years has ruled over the Juniors in the former race. In the 100-yard freestyle for Juniors, Boggs won easily over a smooth stroking newcomer, Carlton Watson.
Baby Fish Steal Show
In a final burst of speed, Baltimore's baby swimmer beat Lorenzo Bryant and Harry Tyler in the best race of the day—the evenly contested 50-yard freestyle for Juveniles. Nine up at the start and all finished practically even, the winners barely gaining nose verdicts.

A total of 24 hits were gathered by the winners as against 23 by the losing outfit. The latter were charged with 10 errors. Two were chalked up against the Arlingtonians.

. Only 19 years old, Jackson felt uncomfortable in the Ohio metropolis without any of his associates and in less than two weeks, the lad had rejoined his old mates in Harrisburg.
Jefferson is the same who as a youth was signed by the LeDroit Tigers and after two years was placed in the line-up of that aggregation and has not since been moved. He is a sparkling fly-chaser, a consistent hitter and, like Jackson, is a demon on the base-paths.
The long, lanky Jeffries went to Harrisburg as a pitcher. He had had several good seasons with the Hillsdales, LeDroit Tigers and Washington Black Sox. Since taking up with the Pennsylvanians Jefferies has shown his bosses such power and consistency as a hitter that he has been shoved into the outfield when not doing mound work.
The Brewers, under the leadership of the popular Bill Flester, have been traveling at a rapid pace. Their season's record shows 23 wins out of 31 starts against all kinds of opposition.

Jefferson and Verdell, New State Mentors, Prepare for Gala Program
"The year of Jubilee" for the Tenth Annual Southeastern Open Tennis Tournament, to be held at Virginia State College, July 30 to August 4 inclusive, takes on more definite form daily. Chief among the recent developments in regard to the meet is the fact that Harry R. Jefferson and Tom Verdell, recently appointed head football coach and assistant, respectively, at the college, will play important roles in the actual operation of the tournament.
"Big Jeff" will report for service on July 1 to begin formulating plans for his fall football campaign, and to take up his duties as Dean of Men. In the latter capacity he will have the responsibility of making living conditions comfortable and pleasant for many who will come to the Southeastern. The genial Jefferson will do this with perfection, as every one who is acquainted with him knows. In addition he will take part in the management and the handling of the tournament play, in which capacity he will also make a wonderful contribution. Verdell is already on the college campus. In the absence of J. D. Barnes, who is studying at Michigan University this summer, he is serving in the capacity of acting director of physical education. As such Verdell will be in harness to make this year's meet the greatest on record.

THE BEST LOW PRICED TIRE ON THE MARKET
Beyond Comparison in Quality, Construction, Appearance and Price With Any First Quality Tire Made
THE way to create a TIRE SENSATION is to give the people what they want, and Firestone has done this with the new Firestone Century Progress Tire.
As millions of people visited the Firestone Factory at the World's Fair last year, we asked this question—"What do you value most in a tire?" They answered—"Give us Blowout Protection, Non-Skid Safety, and Long Wear, at a moderate price." This was a big order, but Firestone has a habit of giving car owners what they want when they want it.
We knew there was only one way to build Quality and Value into a tire at a moderate price, and that was by volume production. Having a dealer organization, numbering over thirty thousand, we knew that if each of our dealers sold one tire a day, it would mean a daily production of 30,000 tires. We accepted the demand for "Blowout Protection, Non-Skid Safety, and Long Wear, at a moderate price." We built the greatest tire ever made to sell at these low prices. Car owners are profiting because we found out what they wanted and found the way to give it to them.
The new Firestone Century Progress Tire is as modern as its name! Broad, husky shoulders, massive flat tread, deep-cut non-skid and Gum-Dipped cords. A TIRE THAT IS EQUAL OR SUPERIOR to any first quality tire built, regardless of name, brand, by whom manufactured, or at what price offered for sale.

FIRST ALLRUBBER SEPARATOR ADDS BATTERY POWER
The first battery separator made exclusively of rubber is now in production in the Firestone Battery Factories at Akron, Ohio and Los Angeles, California. It is considered as great an advancement in batteries as the balloon tires were in the tire industry, for it is not effected by heat, cold, or acid, and yet so porous it increased power flow. It is used in the Firestone Extra Power Battery.
The Allrubber Separators are made up of millions of tiny balls of rubber joined together in such a way as to give extreme porosity, allowing quick flow of power. They have much longer life under adverse conditions—in fact they last the life of the battery.
Separators of rubber have long been the goal of the battery industry. A number of separators have been brought out combining rubber with fiber, wood and rubber, etc., and though some obtained long life, they were considerably less porous and thus gave less starting power, especially in cold weather.

FOR PICNIC RESERVATIONS
"The Big Shakedown" and "Happy Feet." Those are the names of the offerings which comprise the Howard bill for the coming week. And from all indications it should be a red hot card.
The first is the screen production and it brings a brand new romantic team into the limelight. Charles Farrell, the handsome boy lover of "Seventh Heaven" and a score of others, and Bette Davis, the charming little actress who is at present monopolizing feminine leads in late productions.
So great was Miss Davis's work in "The Big Shakedown" that she was signed almost as soon as the picture was completed for "Of Human Bondage," and immediately thereafter for "Fog Over Frisco."
"The Big Shakedown" purposes to be an expose of the extent to which big shot racketeers will go to regain millions they find themselves losing as a result of the work of law-makers. The effect of repeal on the underworld forms the background of the story. The stage show, "Happy Feet" is to be made up of a host of stars of the footlights. Manager Shep Allen told the "Shopping the Shows" correspondent that he had not completed the line-up, but the Howard patrons could feel assured of some crackerjack entertainment from a cast of some 45 or 50 well known actors and actresses.
Review
Except for the novelty of having the Hardy Brothers Orchestra render a new number and the presence of Ristina Banks's stellar chorus ensemble the Howard's show of the current week would be resting entirely on the laurels of the picture "The Life of Vergie Winters"
One hardly needs to admit that the orchestra which once not only
dominated the local field but lots of other fields as well, has seen a marked decline in its popularity by reason of its repetition of old numbers. The rendition of "Imagination" strikes a well-sounding note in the hearts of the music-loving parons. Incidentally the score is from the pen of one of the band.
The chorines under the direction of our own Miss Banks do their chores with the usual nep and precision. Their interpretation of "Mood Indigo" develops into one of the best chorus numbers seen on T Street in a long time.
As for the rest, "Rubberlegs" Williams, who for some reason or other has cultivated a singing complex, Hannah Sylvester, singer, Ford, Bowie, and Daly a tap dance trio, and the comic team of John Mason and Dusty Fletcher, your writer tired of them very easily, Williams's offering seems to be a cross between torch voice and crooner, and though unique is hardly engaging.
But despite the stage bill the Howard show is well worth the price of admission. Ann Harding and John Boles both crown their screen carers with what are probably their best productions. Any attempt on the part of this writer to bring the story to this page would be far-fetched, so fine and yet so powerful is the drama involved in it.

The production is commendable as a reflector for her qualities as such. Miss Sten is sensational in her role as the street-girl who rises from the gutter so to speak to become the toast of Paris music halls. The setting is the French capital in the seventies.

-:-Lincoln-:-
Uptown Washington has waited a long time for "Sadie McKee," Joan Crawford's latest starring vehicle. The new Metro-Goldwyn film, with the fast climbing Franchot Tone opposite Miss Crawford, arrives at the Lincoln, tomorrow (Friday) for a week's stay.
Followers of the doings of Hollywood and Hollywood folks will find the two principals of the rumored romance, confirmed and denied in alternate periods, playing together for the third time since Joan's separation from the illustrious Doug Fairbanks, Jr.
"Sadie McKee" brings to the screen this private life romance said to have been budding within a short space of time after that well known gift.
The blonde Gene Raymond is cast as "Tommy," a crooner who wins Crawford's heart with his uke and his voice. Raymond, always a favorite among local theatre-goers, earned the assignment after eclipsing 100 others who sought and were sought for the part.
Others in the supporting cast are Edward Arnold, Jean Dixon, Leo G. Carroll and Esther Ralston, the latter said to be more beautiful than ever. "Once in A Lifetime," and "June Moon" are two musical scores in which Miss Dixon makes quite a hit.

Mills Brothers Treatment Before British Ambassador
NEW YORK—In a strong letter to Sir Ronald Lindsay, British Ambassador to the United States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has vigorously protested against the recent refusal of .15 London hotels to accommodate the Four Mills Brothers, noted American radio, screen and stage stars solely because of their color.
"There was no question of their ability to pay for their accommodations," the letter tasserts, "since their guarantee in England was $6,000 a week. There was no question of their character or behavior. It seems inescapable that they were offered the insults solely because of their color."
She—How kind you are to your wife, sending her away for a rest. He—Yes, indeed, and I need one.

CHURCH
"Looking Upward" was the Rev. E. J. Bradshaw's theme on last Sunday morning. He declared that the Christian has an advantage over other individuals in that he can conduct his thoughts upon higher elements though his body may be chained and in bondage. There were six additions to the church at the conclusion of the service.
The Young People's Department, directed by Miss B. S. Suydan presented the blue prints and architect's plans for the improved and enlarged barnacle to the church on last Sunday morning. In accepting the r'ns the pastor stated that work on the building's scheduled to start the first week in August. The presentation was made by Lendal Chase.
The Texas Club, under the direction of Henry Houston, had charge of services on last Sunday afternoon. The club presented a unique program of original talent. They also served dinners in the lower auditorium throughout the entire afternoon. Master Joseph Sisney was ajudged the most popular child in a contest among the children last week. The contest was sponsored by the Sunday School.

SEES NO HARM IN RACE MIXTURE
(Continued from page 1) impractical factors, but he did add that if the sources of economic conflict were removed, from American life and opportunities more equal in their scope were provided he thinks a more practical approach might be made. In addition to this he emphasized the dire need of a serious educational program which "would begin with children in white schools and extend to larger and older audiences" in an effort to undermine old notions about the inherent inferiority of racial groups.
Cites Environment
"Some recent investigations have shown such tremendous improvement in Negro children in proportion as their environment has been increased that it appears that most of what is called inferiority in Negro children would disappear entirely if their environment were made equal to that of whites." Dr. Klineberg said. Supporting this he added that science has as yet produced "no basis for the suggestion that Negroes are more primitive than their white neighbors."
That the Institute, which is sponsored by the Committee on Race Relations of the Philadelphia Society of Friends, will attempt to "work no miracles" was pointed out by Dr. Charles S. Johnson, Fisk University Research head, who is director of the Institute.
The Younger Set
By
MORRIS MURRAY
and
JAMES R. WOOD
Jean Taylor and the girls have made a name for themselves by taking big honors in Alexandria at the Capitol Theatre last Wednesday night. After lots of practice, both morning and night, the chorus went through their numbers swell. We all should feel proud of the fact that the girls were representing the younger set of Washington, and by doing as good as they did we ought to look up to them as examples of inspiration. This column congratulates them to the nth degree.
Too bad a certain goil's ole man popped in on the rehearsal just in time to stop her from doing her number. Placide Washington and Louise Washington acted as extras in the chorus***The swinger given by H. M. across the pond was very rank. The scene of the hop took place on the Fourth of July. A few couples journeyed out on the back lawn to watch the fireworks, someone ought to have known better than to play with fireworks in the back yard while resting on a lounge made out of newspapers and a few stiff boards. The joint was almost turned out by those desiring to shoot their fireworks.***Desirie Gray seems to be going over big at the Banneker pool. The life guards are having daily scraps over the young lady. Kid, come back to Dunbar and keep the wheel a turning, in spite of the raw deal you received from a certain club***Harriett Pelham spent him with her herd and his family at Colton Maryland.***Alvin (Chick) Webb writes all girls who are interested in track meets to come down to Walker Stadium on Friday evenings and sign up.***Alice Quivers is at Carson's Hospital. Let's all go up to her, that is if Horace doesn't care.***It has been rumored that Henry (Hinkey) Anderson has been hitched to a Cleveland school teacher. Anderson said the statement was false. We wonder.***We wish that more of you would drop us a line. You know it’s pretty tough snooping these hot days.***Harry Whitlock and Frances Pinkett seemed to have had something up their sleeves Tuesday. They were seen darting in and out of Dunbar High School two hours after school was over. Tish, tish.***Some of the male swimmasters at the Banneker Pool started a fad of going in the baby pool and stretching out in a disgraceful manner. They now have life guards to see that no one over fourteen may enter the small pool.***They now have a free hour in the mornings for kids under fifteen.

Hi-de-ho-everybody! These are your favorite columnists greeting you from the Washington Tribune Office and giving you the latest gossip heard around town. Joseph C. Beal is not connected with this column any longer. In his place, we have selected Bob Lewis and Johnny Marshall. Others ready to help are Wayman C. Nobile, Jr., Alvin "Pick" Ford, Bernard Bell and Miss Laverne Robinson. Well here goes.
Have you ever visited the new Banneker Pool up on the hill? If not, you are missing the greatest attraction in this city. Pay a visit to the pool and enjoy an evening of delight. Now for some other interesting news. Who was the young lady Alonzo was jibing at the water-front Tuesday night? We wonder where Geraldine W. could have been? Who was the two young gentlemen that were seen escorting Rose Wood and Frances Smith home Sunday night? Did you know that a new romance is brewing? We notice that two Oakwood students are very friendly toward each other these days. They are Hlyda Booker and Cornelius Harris. It's just a college romance folks! Why did Willie Mae journey to New York just to see her boy friend recently? Too bad J.Y., the crooner didn't know.
We wonder if Irving Dudley is really going to get married in January. Notice he still visits on Third Street. James Williams, one of Armstrong's loudest baritones, plans to become an orator. Let's give him a big hand Mattie! Everyone wants to know if Laverne Robinson will ever help "Kate Smith" lift the moon over the mountain? It seems as though Misses Bertha Hutchinson and Beatrice Hawkins had a hard time trying to get rid of Troy and Cooper Monday night.
Alice Jones, of Anacostia, had several crooners to entertain her last week. Of course, our reporters were present. Pauline Simms, of Southeast, couldn't get along with a former lieutenant so now she goes with someone who isn't hashtag.
Johnny Marshall you had better keep your eyes on Ruth L. or Pick will carry her away. Josephine Williams has her strings tied tightly to Paul Russell since she heard that Bobbie Grant was after him. Are you going to the Elks' Rest in Arlington, Virginia on the eighteenth of this month? Everyone is desiring to be present. Dancing and other amusements are in store for everyone. Who's giving it? Why it is for the benefit of the Building Fund of Dorus Temple No. 243, LB.P.O.E. of W. Arlington, Va.
In the lime-light. Raymone Stewart, happy and smiling former cadet major, may become one of Washington's future undertakers. At present he works for the S. P. Morrow Company of this city. A crippled young man with a high tenor voice may crash the headlines of the leading papers soon. He is none other than Leonard Gordon, well known amateur songbird of the Howard amateur contests. Three modest young ladies, Helen Beverly, Evelyn Diggs, and Bernice Edmonson may become stage entertainers in later life. These young ladies love to sing and dance. Have you ever heard of a boy's chaperon? Thomas and Mark Cox have one, their darling mother accompanies them almost every place they go. Well the time has come to say adios folks.
have to say about that?*** Rosalie Reid gave a very delightful tea last week. The tea started early in the evening. Dancing and card playing dominated the evening. A lovely repast was served and everyone scrammed house.***If the Hamburger Grill would burn down many of our boys would be homeless.
Elks Win Pair
The Morning Star Lodge Elks baseball team defeated the Deanwood Athletics, 23-5 last Saturday and then took a Sabbath engagement from the Washington Grays, 7-3. Muirk and Randolph comprised the battery in the first game, and Williams and Russell the second.

TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE
1. I will never us the word 'nigger.'
2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race.
3. I will use my eyes and cars to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander.
4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race.
The Big Brown Bear
Most of the clumsy, friendly bears we see at the zoo are brown or black bears. The last wild bear in England was killed in the days of William the Conqueror, but bears are fairly common in the deep woods of North America, especially in Yellowstone and other national parks where they are protected by law.
These bears are easily tamed and can be taught to dance and perform simple tricks. Children like to watch them drink tonic and eat ice cream cones.
During the summer the bear accumulates layers of fat upon his body. At the approach of winter, he crawls into a cave and sleeps until Spring.
While he sleeps, his body absorbs the fat little by little. This is nature's way of keeping the bear alive during the cold winter when he would be unable to find food. In the Spring when he crawls out of his den, he is thin and poor but soon begins to plump up again. Baby bears weigh only a few ounces at birth. They grow to the enormous bulk of three or four hundred pounds. These baby bears are usually born in February while the mother bear is hibernating in the cave. They are usually twins, about eight inches long with hair like velvet. It is thirty days or more before they get their eyes open. For forty days and forty nights the mother nourishes them from the fat of her own body. By Spring when the family emerges from se-

WOMAN PLUNGES IN RIVER AFTER FAMILY DISPUTE
The frolicking and dancing of hundreds of excursionists who celebrated their Fourth of July as guests of the Washington Pilot Pleasure Club on a moonlight boat ride came to an abrupt halt while guests watched the rescue of a woman who plunged into the waters of the Potomac River following a quarrel with her husband. The woman, Mrs. Corrine Young, 31, went overboard near Hains Point as the Steamer E. Madison Hall was making its way to the home dock after the trip down to River View, Md. As the pleasure steamer steamed past the point a cry of "Lady Overboard!" brought a silence to the jazzy tunes of the orchestra and the laughter of the milling guests. The steamer came to a halt and its whistle blew for aid from harbor police.
Luckily two officers aboard the yacht Tech, anchored nearby, launched a speedboat and went to the rescue. Two white men, Woodruff and George Warren, pulled alongside the floating woman and one of them dived in to assist her. She was pulled aboard the speedboat and taken to the harbor police dock. Physicians from Emergency Hospital pumped the water from Mrs. Young's lungs and she was soon revived, and removed to her home, 468 K Street, Southwest. Passengers at the rear rail of the steamer, where Mrs. Young jumped from, said they attempted to restrain her but that she had been "fusing with her husband" and couldn't be stopped.
INFANT DEATHS IN D.C. TOO HIGH SAYS THOMPKINS
Recorder of Deeds Attacks Mortality Rate in Talk Before Federation
Reduction of infant mortality and tuberculosis resulting in neglect of children of pre-school age, was the objective agreed upon by representatives of four local civic organizations at a meeting of the Federation of Civic Associations, held at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.-C.A., Wednesday night. A large number were present at the urge of George W. Beasley, president of the federation.
Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, a former hospital superintendent and health official in Kansas City, and present commissioner of Elks, was the principal speaker. In his talk Dr. Thompkins drew a comparison between conditions in Washington and conditions in cities where preventive measures are in use. The failure of the Health Department to adopt appropriate preventive measures was pointed out by him as one of the principal factors in the situation as it exists in the Capital. A statement recently credited to Dr. W. C. Fowler to the effect that the high mortality rate in the District was due largely to the dense colored population of the city, was attacked by Dr. Thompkins. The latter held out that installation of a chain of "well-baby" stations in Washington would solve the problem.
This, he averred, could be done at a cost of less than $100,000. His plan is calculated to reduce the annual number of deaths of colored children of pre-school age from 500 to not more than 200. His program received endorsement of representatives of groups present, which included the Young Women's Christian Association, the Federation of Civic Organizations, the College of Women's League and the Lend-a-Hand Club. The affiliated bodies favored reorganization of the Health Department, in charge of some physician known to favor broadly a preventive policy.
Funeral Services Held For Thomas Foster
Thomas Foster, an old resident of Fairfax County, Va., died at his home near Occoquan on July 4 after a long illness at the age of 71. He is survived by his wife, one daughter three grandchildren and a son-in-law. He was an honorary deacon of Little Zion Baptist Church, of Burke, Va., for 20 years. Funeral services were held last Sunday from his late residence. The Rev. L. N. Bailey, former pastor of Little Zion, officiated, and was assisted by the Rev. Carter Taylor, pastor, and the Rev. Mr. Chinn of Agnewville, and the Rev. Mr. McFadden of Arlington. The Rev. Jeremiah Hamilton of Fairfax, was master of ceremonies. The Immediate Relief Association, No. 1, of Burke, Va., was in charge of the funeral.

DEATH STALKS MAN PERFORMING LEAP FROM KEY BRIDGE
Boast to Friends is Followed by Fatal Jump; Funeral Sunday
An attempt to prove to friends that he could make the 85-foot leap from the railing of Key Bridge and swim safely to shore proved fatal, late last week, to Charles Torney, 3728 Prospect Avenue, Northwest. Torney died instantly when his body struck the waters of the Potomac with a terrific slap.
Clad in a bright green bathing suit, the would-be stunt-diver climbed to the railing of the bridge, waved to friends standing nearby, and threw himself over the side. Police of the Harbor Precinct recovered his body in 15-feet of water some hours later.
Emergency Hospital physicians pronounced him dead upon arrival in the ambulance.
Funeral services were held Sunday from the Mount Gloria Baptist Church, Copley, Md. Torney is survived by his mother, Mrs. Ethel Torney, one brother, Wilbert, and a sister, Mrs. Gracie Foman.

shows a lower death rate than for the first week in July of last year. Health Department officials announced that the decrease is due largely to the reduction in deaths from the following causes: apoplexy, 7; tuberculosis, 8; nephritis, 12; arteriosclerosis, 5; diarrhea, pneumonia and-suicide, 1 each. All these show fewer tolls than were recorded in 1933. A fewer number of births, however, were reported. Fifty-four white cases and 24 colored showed a total of 78. Ninety-one was the total for the other period. Nearly 200 more new cases in attendance for the prior period were recorded than were in attendance for the week being reported. Their totals numbered: 1,274 to 1,076.

TELLS JURY COPS ALMOST KNOCKED EYE FROM SOCKET
Despite Story of Brutality, Man is Found Guilty of Assaulting Police
Despite the fact that he claimed that one eye was almost knocked from its socket, and he was badly bruised and beaten, Russell Jackson, 640 I Street, Southeast, testified before a jury in Police Court Monday morning that two white policemen attached to No. 3 Precinct, arrested him and lodged a charge of "assaulting an officer" against him.
The man told a story of police brutality that made even hardened court attaches lawyers and reporters wince. He said he had been drinking but wasn't drunk enough not to know what he was doing. He said two white policemen, Ernest Filmore and Cornelius Lowrie, approached him and placed him under arrest.
They then proceeded to beat him with their fists and batons. He said he begged for mercy, but they continued to hit him about the head and body. He was bleed ing from a number of lacerations of the head and body when he was taken to the precinct station and later to Emergency Hospital where he was treated for multiple cuts and bruises.
Attorney Harry A. Dyson who represented Jackson stated that on reaching the precinct he found his client lying in a pool of blood. The officers explained that they had to "subdue" their prisoner in making the arrest.
Following the trial a jury of white men found Jackson guilty of assaulting the officers.
STRIKE RUMOR AT ATLANTA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
(Continued from page 1) sent to the Atlanta School of Social Work to learn special technique in handling relief problems.
Details Vague
Full details of how the plan is being administered are not available. The students have been gathered from Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia, Argansas and Louisiana. Most of them are members of social work staffs in their various communities. Many of them are receiving their regular salaries while attending school. Others are merely receiving a one-hundred dollar scholarship which covers board, room and tuition. The latter students are up in arms and say that opportunity to learn the details of the program was not given them.
Other Schools Named
The charge is made that except for pressure being brought, students would have been permitted to take their work at either the New York School of Social Work or the University of Chicago. In some instances plans had been made and persons selected to go to the above mentioned schools and the amount of from three to three hundred and fifty dollars allocated for each student. At this point the whole thing took a sudden and strange turn. Word came from somewhere that all students had to go to the Atlanta School of Social Work. Students were told to get ready to leave for Atlanta on the next train. No time for questioning this abrupt change was given. Some of them did not know how long the course would last or how much the scholarship offered financially, until they reached the school.
Students Called "Dumb"
Students went to members of the faculty of the school for information, but without avail. The director is in Washington. One of the members of the faculty (a white woman) when approached by the students told them that they were "dumb and silly." They should be glad to get any consideration. She further threatened to use her influence to see that those students who persisted in demanding explanation, would lose their jobs when they returned home. Many of these young people are college graduates; some have master's degrees. As a result of the attitude of this particular teacher feeling has been running high and rumors of a strike has gained currency.
If you are not satisfied with your lot, build on it.

ANNUAL OUTING OF BAR ASSOCIATION SET FOR SATURDAY
Plans Completed for All-day Affair at Chalcedony Inn; Visitors Expected
Preparations for the annual outing of the Washington Bar Association are in their advanced stages according to announcement of Thurman L. Dodson, president, and Secretary William A. Lee, Jr., early this week. The affair is slated for the Chalcedony Inn, formerly the Midcity Country Club, and is to take place Saturday.

No Negro Farmers
Davis also pointed out that there were no representatives of Negro farmers of the state and intimated that this was occasioned by the fact that the hearing was held in a place not usually frequented by Negroes. Several weeks ago he was successful in getting places of these state hearings changed from Jim Crow, hotels to public places where Negroes could appear unmolested.
Sensation Created
A veritable sensation was created when Davis charged the cotton ginners with attempting to bluff the government by threatening not to accept a marketing agreement or a code of fair compensation. The cotton ginners wholly unprepared for the appearance of a Negro who spoke with fire and courage in their very teeth, stood agast until he had finished his appearance. There followed a clamor for the floor, and in the course of the heated and loud argument the word "nigger" flew thick and fast. Unruffled by the hostile atmosphere Davis gave his opponents back as good as they sent and forced a number of valuable admissions into the record.
Leave on Motor Trip
Attending the hearing also were Walter White, executive secretary of the N.A.A.C.P.; Charles H. Houston of Howard University; Juanita Jackson of Baltimore, Md., and many Negro citizens of this city. The hearing came following the close of the 25th annual conference of the N.A.A.C.P., where the above named had spoken. Following the hearing, White, Houston and Davis left by motor for a tour of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama to investigate the government farm program under the NRA.

LYNCHINGSDECLINE NOTED IN REPORT FROM TUSKEGEE
TUSKEGEE, Ala. — A slight decrease in the number of lynchings for the past six months of 1934, was noted in a release from the Department of Records and late this week.

All of the persons lynched were Negroes. The offenses charged were: wounding man in altercation, 1; rape 1; attempted rape, 2; associating with white woman, 1; striking man, 1. The States in which lynchings occurred and the number in each State are as follows: Florida, 1; Kentucky, 1; Mississippi, 2; Tennessee, 1; and Texas, 1.
Marriage Makes
Personality
Speaking before members of the National Education Association in convention here last week, Dr. William A. White, nationally known psychiatrist, asserted that married women are superior to single ones, "Single women," he said, "are more likely to have more distorted personalities than married ones because problems such as their love life have not been settled."

PHYSICIAN HELD IS CHARGED WITH DEATH OF GIRL
St. LOUIS Mo. — Dr. Jefferson S. Jaques, 48, was arrested at the order of Assistant Circuit Attorney McLaughan Friday morning at his office, 2131a Market Street. His arrest followed a coroner's verdict of homicide in the death of Thelma Lyons, 18-year-old girl, the fatality being attributed to an illegal operation. The physician was later released on a $5,000 bond.
Youth Involves Doctor
Phillip Washington 22-year-old car washer living at 3207 Delmar Boulevard, who had been keeping company with the girl for about a year, admitted being responsible for the girl's condition and implicated the doctor in her fatal illness. According to his testimony at the inquest, the girl applied at Dr. Jaques' office for treatment some time between May 20-24. The physician told him that he could cure her without any danger, he said and told him he would handle the case for $15.

The girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Langston L. Lyons, stated that they did not become greatly concerned over the girl's condition at first as she had told them it was nothing serious and the doctor informed them he was treating her for inflammation of the stomach and chills.

Dr. Wilder was the son of C. M. Wilder, postmaster of Columbia, S.C., during the Reconstruction Days. He served as money order clerk in his father's office. He came to Howard University to study and was graduated from the medical school in 1887. He entered immediately into the practice of his profession and was among the oldest practitioners in this city.
Several years ago he retired from active practice and devoted his energies to civic affairs. He was a co-worker with the late Dr. Kober in the organization of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society of the District of Columbia and served as its president for a number of years. He was active in civic and political movements especially as they concerned the welfare of the colored people. As a progressive he stood as a candidate for the National Republican Convention in 1912. Having traveled extensively throughout Europe and South America as well as the United States, Dr. Wilder was well known. Besides his widow, Mrs. Sallie C. Wilder, Dr. Wilder is survived by two children, Dr. C. M, Wilder and Susan W. Thompson.

Internal Trouble
The Masons have had internal difficulties in recent weeks due to the fact that the order of the Eastern Star, women's auxiliary, has refused to join with the men in the repurchase of the Masonic Temple, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest.
The grand lodge is now headed by Lewis W. Roy. Grand Master Roy and a few of the men are seeking to buy the temple which was lost to the order during the National Benefit Life Insurance Company receivership. The men are of the opinion that this can be done with the aid of the women, but the latter organization has turned thumbs down on the proposition stating that they will help finance a smaller building, but the temple is too big an undertaking.
Women Refuse Aid
It was also said that Roy threatened to suspend the Eastern Star but the women pointed out that his powers did not enable him to take this action. At a stormy meeting on June 27 the women flatly refused to have anything more to do with the temple. Mrs. Jennie B. Lee is grand matron of the Order of the Eastern Star.
Boy, 13, Missing

DePriest Urges Use of Ballot to Get Rights
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—Speaking here Sunday afternoon at the closing mass meeting of the 25th annual conference of the N.A.A.C.P. Congressman Oscar DePriest urged colored people to use their ballots, wherever they may reside, in the fight to secure their full citizenship rights. The fiery plain-spoken Chicagoan told of his fight against discrimination in the restaurant in the nations' capitol and stated that the N.A.A.C.P. had been the greatest single factor in helping him arouse public sentiment and bring pressure upon members of congress. He advised every Negro in the United States to join. Part of Mr. DePriest's address was broadcast over Station WKY. The congressman was met at the station Saturday night and escorted to the business section by a band and parade.

(Continued from page 1) the matter un with the chief engineer of the Fire Department for his consideration when making assignments of apparatus.
"Engine Knocks"
The letter pictured the Southwest hose wagons as "snail-like" in speed, and described No. 4 as being pathetic when it "chugs" up to a large fire after seven or eight other engine companies are already on the job. Other engines when pumping water have a soft purring sound like the purring of a kitten, while No. 4's engine "wheezes" and "knocks" almost like a pile-driver. The letter to Schrom read in part: "There is a general feeling among citizens that the Southwest section has been much persecuted for many years when it comes to adequate fire protection.
Had to Wait for Train
"There is probably no city in the country which has a fire-house so unwisely located as is the No. 4 firehouse on Virginia Avenue.
"As far back as the early '90's citizens of the Southwest section made efforts to have its location changed. The railroad tracks were then on the level, and No. 4 could not pass until the railroad watchman cleared the tracks of trains. This was in the days of the old fire horse.
"The elevated railroad viaduct, 40 feet from the front doors of the firehouse, with acute angle turns under the viaduct at Sixth Street and Four-and-a-half Street, now forms an insuperable barrier to speedy response to fire alarms with motorized equipment.
"Added to this 65-year-old handicap, fire department officials removed from the area south of Pennsylvania Avenue, two engine companies—No. 2 in 1910 and No. 16 in 1923.
"No apparent effort has been made to strengthen the two remaining engine companies, No. 4 and No. 13—and in particular No. 4, which is only five blocks south of Pennsylvania Avenue and bears the brunt of the work in this area.
Responsibility Increased
"The responsibility of these companies has greatly increased in recent years. In addition to over 50 Federal and District Government buildings to which they respond and protect, the Federal Government has invested millions of dollars in a building program on the south side of Pennsylvania Avenue.
No. 4 is Laughing Stock
"The three aged pumping engines which fire officials have assigned to No. 4 since 1921 have made it the laughing stock of the Fire Department and the public.
"Its present 16-year-old engine is the oldest in active service and is the engine which the Superintendent of Machinery testified before both houses of Congress would be 17 years old in 1935.
No. 4 is Pathetic
"It is pathetic to see No. 4 'chugging' up to a second alarm fire after seven or eight other engine companies are already on the job. Other engines when pumping water have a soft purring sound like the purring of a kitten. The No. 4 engine 'wheezes' and 'knocks' almost like a pile-driver.
No. 4 Has Been Humiliated
"It must be most humiliating to a 'cracker-jack' fire unit to labor under such embarrassing circumstances."

DEAN HOUSTON SCORES CRITICS
(Continued from page 1 ) were available. They simply did not have the information which the authors of this article later obtained in Virginia. Like many others, the report turned in by Miss Boardman; but it happens that in the time available to her Miss Boardman was unable to talk to the persons who possessed direct information in Virginia. She did not get the Crawford or the Virginia Negroes, or with the Washington police who were called in by the Loudoun County authorities to investigate the case. She was asked to second offender Crawford as taking a nine-year sentence for receiving stolen cigarettes in order to save a sister from prosecution, the court records in Richmond disclosed that Crawford second offender Crawford given three and a half years it for receiving stolen goods. He escaped in May, 1922, and the November following had been caught and sentenced in Richmond to five years for the possession of diamond rings from his employer. There was no evidence for the previous escape, and two more years for his being a second offender. He had been discharged in 1938 under a compulsory sentence for saving the life of a prison guard B. A. Coleman, of Lynchburg, Virginia.
The Boston alibi had placed Crawford in Boston continuously from about September 5, 1931, straight through January 15, 1932. But it began to develop from friendly correspondence returned to Virginia before Christmas, 1931, and had been in and around Virginia from that time up until the time of the murders. It has been suggested that these witnesses did not appear to be under any dues, and in at least one instance the colored boy who talked with counsel had previously refused to divulge his information to Counsel have been criticized because they spent most of their time trying to discover what evidence the prosecution had against Crawford and because they left the investigation of the Boston alibi to the last. But the evidence that was presented and presented at the rendition hearing in January and February, 1932. Any would have been ground for suspicion. Crawford and counsel with him just the *me* as if he had wrapped it in a package and carried in his hand. On the other hand, counsel had to investigate the evidence of the prosecution order to develop their theory of the defense.
As a matter of fact, at the end of November, 1983, two weeks before the trial, Mr. Rainbow and James G. Tyson of the defense, who were the lawyers for Lovett, also of the Washington bar, assisted in the defense, went to Boston to check up on the alibi and on Crawford's alleged confession to the maidenhead understanding which can hardly be laid at their door, they failed to see two alibi witnesses who had given important testimony at the roidition hearing. Though the maidenhead testimony that Crawford was in Boston on January 13, 1982. But against the accuracy of their memories there are three object facts which tend to show that object facts
1. On Christmas eve, 1891, the Isley cottage in Middleburg was entered and a gold watch stolen. In January, 1892, shortly before the murders, Crawford turned up in the house and took the watch his watch to Coleman for the price of a bus ticket to Richmond. Coleman produced the watch at the trial, but upon the defence objection that the watch referred to the court ruled the watch out of evidence and he did not permit the prosecution to identify it.
2. About 4 a.m. on the night of the murders 2 Negroes abandoned a Ford car on the Virginia side of the Potomac River to the police station. Mrs. Isley's car. It was taken to the Washington police headquarters, and when it was searched, a note indisputably written by George Crawford was found on the floor. Further evidence tended to establish that the note was written two days before the murder. Criticism been made that the Washington police did not find the note on the first search of the car, and that counsel did not bring this out on cross-examination. But what difference was made in the case, note written under the circumstances which counsel knew it had been written under. Counsel saved the force of their cross-examination for the crucial things which could really affect the decision of the court. The unconstitutional exclusion of Negroes from the grand and petit juries: the testimony of the pathologist, who claimed he had found Negro skin under Mrs. Isley's nails; the confessions which was the mess of connecting Crawford with the crime itself.
3. Crawford's clothes were discovered in Washington, D.C., where he had abandoned them when he filed from Washington after the war. He was later found where Crawford said he had stayed, obtained the clothes, and still have them in his possession. He presented nineteen witnesses who were to see Crawford in Virginia, December 24, 1931, and January 4, 1932. The majority of these were contact with him, such as in the same house. Counsel had interviewed six of the most important of these witnesses in advance of the trial; and either from these six or from conversation with them, he would state what the others would testify to. There were only two witnesses in the entire case whose testimony was a surprise and these two were successfully impeached.
Upon the facts as developed from their own investigations and conferences with Crawford, counsel decided not to offer the Boston alibl, but to rest their strategy on a rejection to prove its case beyond a reasonable expectation of advantage of a every reversible error made by the court. In counsel's opinion the court made four errors, any one of which would have served to justify an appeal: (1) the court erred in ruling that qualified Negasian as a defendant exclusively excluded from the grand jury; (2) from the petit jury: (4) in admitting Crawford's "confession"; and (4) in not striking out all the evidence of the prosecution on the ground of variance from the court's decision; (5) returned a verdict of guilty with imprisonment for life; the court entered sentence; and counsel failed to appeal. Why?
In the first place Crawford did not want to be a judge, and his life. He did not get into the mess of raising the constitutional issues; and if he was unwilling to gamble with his life to win the election, he was guilty of criminalization in Virginia, quite frankly that was his business. When the question was asked whether he wanted to take the chance on the outcome of another trial if he had been wrongly convicted, he staged that counsel could use their own judgement so long as he did not have to take a chance on the electric chair. As a result, he was not guilty of this article took their orders from him.
It was counsel's best judgement that on a second trial Crawford would probably get a death sentence. The trial had been a great nervous strain on the county and State, and had been expensive to them in more ways than one. Most persons in the county felt that Crawford had been extremely lucky in escaping the chair on the first trial. For Crawford to have demanded a second trial in order to challenge the jury issue would have put him in the position of not letting well enough alone. It would have taken him off the defensive and placed him on the offensive against the country. This would have had its invaluable silent, psychological effect. If Crawford had washed to appeal or if he had received the death sentence, counsel would have appealed and fought the case to the end, because then Crawford would have everything to gain and nothing to lose; but with a life sentence it was different. Crawford's current personal influence that led to window up the case as quickly as possible.
The question remains within the N.A.C.P., was justified in being a party to

SEVENTH AND H STS. N. W.
the compromise. In diding this question it should be remembered that the decision whether to appeal involved not only questions of law but also question and good-will of the dominant majority. The law itself is the very existence of the N.A.A.C.P., is that the Negro can attain full citizenship and equal rights only with the cooperation and good-will of the dominant majority. The law itself is a powerful weapon, but it has certain definite limitations when it comes to changing the mores of a community. A decision that Negro had been unconstitutional under the law and jury which had indicted Crawson would not have cured the situation for the future if the dominant group in Virginia had made up its mind that it would use every subterfuge and force to nullify the decision. As early as 1879 in "Ex parte Virginia," the United States Supreme Court had authoritatively proscribed the action of Virginia authorities in excluding Negroes from State juries; but Virginia had ignored the decision and the practice persisted. Consequently the problem before the N.A.A.C.P. was not simple to force the issue, but to force it in such a way as to provoke the minimum amount of resistance.
There were indications at the time of the Crawford sentence that the practice of excluding Negro from juries in Virginia was breaking the law, and that he had begun to appear in divers counties throughout the State. In Fredericksburg in the preceding summer, Judge Coleman had fined a white farmer for contempt in refusing to serve on a grand jury. In another case, it is true that Crawford had been indicted, tried, and convicted by white juries from which counsel is convinced Negroes had been unconstitutionally excluded, but these juries were not indicted. Crawford received juries in fact, if not in law. Anyone who instigates that Crawford was framed in Virginia does not know the facts. Moreover, Judge McLennon, who had tried the Crawford case, although he refused to set the white juries aside, had actually made a finding that the three Negroes in Loudeau County qualified for
jury service, and had expressed the hope that in the future the matter would be settled to the satisfaction of all concerned, to real question whether from the standpoint of the court's jurisdiction getting Negroes on juries in all the counties of Virginia it was better to force the case in the Crawford case or to leave it to the court. In the case to the tate that the N.A.A.C.P. raised the jury issue only in the interests of substantial injustice, and did not raise it as a shield to protect guilty Negroes from the court. Within sixty days after the Crawford case, in Judge McLemore's home county, 15 Negroes had been included on a panel of 17 jurors, the first Negroes to be involved in the case, being spread in other counties. Most significant, there has been no public rementation. The leaders of public opinion say this is due in no small measure to the trial and outcome of the Crawford case.
Again, the N.A.A.C.P. had to consider the question of local community relationships. As an outside organization the N.A.A.C.P. had to calculate carefully how satisfied it was in turning the county upside down to local Negroes, leaving them in their weakness to catch the full force of community resentment. Sometimes in major social movements it may be necessary to sacrifice the interests of the whole, but the decision should be made after great deliberation. When the Crawford case opened, the community was tense and hostile. The Negro population was so apprehensive that adoptions could not be obtained. Counsel had could not be obtained. Counsel had to commute back and forth from Washington to Leesbury every day of the trial. Yet when the case closed, the atmosphere had completely changed, and both whites and Negroes county better than ever before. These facts cannot be ignored, especially when it is known that over almost unanimous protest counsel had refused to ask a change of venue and had insisted that the trial be held.
ders had been committed, under the principle that the real test whether Virginia could give Crawford a fair trial was its ability to give him such a trial in the case of a murder and where feeling was most inflamed. It has been stated that Virginia rushed Crawford to a plea of guilt to the Buckner case after a feature article had appeared in the newspaper. Crawford had denied his guilt and claimed a frame-up. The truth is that the arrangements for the plea had been made before the article appeared. When Crawford was confronted with the article, he denied it and said he would not take the responsibility of pleading him guilty. He was advised that he did not have to plead guilty and could have a trial if he wanted it; but of his own decision he declined a trial and entered his plea.

Subduing Prisoners
Subduing prisoners seems to be a favorite pastime among many of the white policemen of the District here of late. A cop can beat a man or woman almost to death and merely state that he had to "subdue" the prisoner, in making the arrest and that is the end of it as far as the policeman is concerned.
The "subdued" man or woman not only has a sore head and body, but quite often a doctor's bill and a stiff fine for "resisting arrest" or "assaulting an officer."
Last week a white cop "subdued" two women and shot one of the women's dog while the animal was muzzled and on a leash. This week a man "subdued" had his eye almost knocked out and his head and body beaten while "assaulting an officer."
There are some decent policemen on the front, but there are many more who are crackers from Virginia and the south who take advantage of colored persons and course them for no reason and when the really assaulted person objects or tell the cop where to go, these bullets take the law into their own hands and proceed to beat and maul citizens and call it "subduing" them.
A long suffering group will not much longer submit to this brutal treatment at the hands of these lawbreakers in uniforms.

Convention Season
Once again we have come upon the convention season. There are those who are opposed to conventions and spending of large sums for entertainment and parades.
One school advocates that Negroes should use this money for more beneficial purposes. They claim thousands of dollars are wasted annually by these meetings, sessions and whatnots. Invariably this group is composed of well-to-do Negroes who can afford to take vacations at stated intervals during the year and you will find them regular patrons of summer resorts and beaches.
On the other hand convention followers are of the poorer class and only get the opportunity to get away at convention time when special low rates are offered by trains or they go free as delegates.
On the other hand convention followers are of the poorer class and only get the opportunity to get away at convention time when special low rates are offered by trains or they go free as delegates.
Of course when the total sum of a convention is added it appears as a large amount, but individuals spend mighty little for a few days of pleasure after 12 months of toil. Why begrudge them this little, if they can come back with renewed energy and refreshed after having met their friends in a common reunion and ready to carry on for 12 more months. Without these annual vacations in midsummer the inhabitants of our insane asylums no doubt will be doubled, adding to the tax burden of an already overburdened taxpayer.
Negro Athletes and Race Prejudice
In the fight between the black American and the white American for intracial good-will and a better understanding, there stands the Negro athlete in the various white colleges and universities scattered over the country, who is proving a telling factor in this age-old struggle.
In the fight between the black American and the white American for intracial good-will and a better understanding, there stands the Negro athlete in the various white colleges and universities scattered over the country, who is proving a telling factor in this age-old struggle. Beginning with Eddie Tolan, from the University of Michigan, winning the double victory in the 100 and 200-meter dashes at the Olympic games in Los Angeles, California, in August 1932; the last three years have been propitious for the young Negro in athletics in the various white schools.
This year we have had quite a crop of outstanding young men, who by their ability have attracted world attention. With the Olympiad coming in 1936 in Berlin, the prowess and records of these young men are watched with no little interest. They are making good both in athletics and in schoolship. Take Ralph Metcalfe, who ran second so Tolan in the Olympics at Los Angeles and has just completed his college course at Marquette in Milwaukee, is the world famous Negro runner today. His tour of Europe last Summer where he ran and won 23 races against the best

Because of Ralph Metcalfe, Eddie Toon, Jimmy LaValle, Jesse Owens, and the two Johnson, the attention of the world must take note of the fact that prejudice must not continue to prevail.
Don't mind people saying you are self-conscious when you are not, for that is just their opinion of you.
Some people give up the simple because of the feeling that they could improve the situation for themselves.
Mary White Overton's Desire Can Never Be Fulfilled
All praise and honor to Miss Overton for the patriotism of her suggestion. When the whites join the N.A.A.C.P. their motive is purely altuistic and only secondarily selfish. When the Negro joins, his motive is maily selfish and altuistic only in a secondary sense.
Miss Mary White Overton is of the salt of the earth. She embodies and brings to the present day a full measure of the by-gone generation when enthusiasm for humanity overran racial boundaries. She exemplifies the faith that is within her and the doctrine which she preaches. At the recent session of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People she lamented the gradual withdrawal of white participants in the work of this great organization and urged a broader policy which would appeal to recruits from both races.
Abraham Lincoln in a philosophic, rather than in a philanthropic mood declared that he did not believe that the two races could live together on terms of equality, unless the one were assigned the inferior and the other the superior position.
Abraham Lincoln in a philosophic rather than in a philanthropic mood declared that he did not believe that the two races could live together on terms of equality, unless the one were assigned the inferior and the other the superior position. However much we feel disposed to quarrel with the emancipator for his judgement, yet candor compels us to admit that our experience of the intervening seventy years has no whit invalidated the accuracy of his forecast. The white race asserts its superiority; the Negro is per force compelled to receive, even if he does not accept, this assumption.
The best of the whites may consent to work with Negroes for the good of the latter, as benefits the benefactor and the beneficiary. The very name of the N.A.A.C.P. indicates this relationship. The well disposed whites are willing to work with Negroes for the "advancement of colored people." Our entire philanthropic fabric was founded and operated on this basis. The service was largely recruited by whites before a requisite number of colored competitors were qualified. At one time we had white pastors of colored churches and white teachers in colored schools. But as soon as the Negro astingent began to increase, the with gradually withdrew. As the one increases the other declines. No where do they work together on a competitive basis. When the half-gods come, the gods go. The experience of the N.A.A.C.P. is but repeating the same old story, notwithstanding the pious lamentations of our true and tried friend, Miss Ovington. When the movement was new and enthusiasm for the new adventure ran high, chivalrous whites fought valiantly with their colored co-workers, but as the Negro adherents became more numerous and assertive, the whites silently and gradually withdrew, leaving the organization chiefly in the hands of the benefited group.

Cooperation does not imply that all of the workers should perform the same task. Division of labor is the most effective mode of cooperation. After calf and dispassionate reflection, I am convinced that the most effective and practical form of racial cooperation in the present mood and temper of the Nordic mind, which we do not seem to be able to change or modify, is for the best of white men and women to be assigned positions of overhead supervision, leaving the field work which calls for intimate contact to colored co-workers. The history of the N.A.A.C.P. verifies and justifies this judgment. From the first, the whites have been assigned the chief places in the management. In my judgment a reversal of this policy would spell disaster for the organization. At one time the N.A.A.C.P. sought to assign white men to the field work but this policy lamentably failed. Negroes only can best accomplish intimate field work among their own people.
Our churches by bitter experience are learning the wisdom of this policy. The great religious denominations which fall wholly under Negro overhead control show deplorable weakness in the higher brackets of ecclesiastical guidance and directions. Our schools and colleges are passing through the period of experimentation. As Negro teachers increase, the white teachers withdraw. In most cases they have practically disappeared. The governing boards are and should be predominantly white men of the highest standing and distinction. There should always be colored men on trustee boards for colored schools, but they should never, in the present American mood or mind, constitute the majority, or even equality of membership. The two races will not function in comparable numbers and coordinate functions in any equation. The pronounced majority should be either white or black. Our trustee boards need a majority of colored members as consultants to keep the management in harmony with the just feeling and aspiration of the benefited race. Purely Negro organizations in education, religion, politics or business, need white consultation and advice to keep themselves in alignment with the up-to-date methods and standards of the time.
All praise and honor to Miss Overton for the patriotism of her suggestion. When the whites join the N.A.A.C.P. their motive is purely altruistic and only secondarily selfish. When the Negro joins his motive is mainly selfish and altruistic only in a secondary sense. When ever any Negro is lynched every Negro is potentially lynched. Let us hope that Miss Overton's suggestion will bear fruit and that high-minded whites will rally to the standard of the N.A.A.C.P. But if our tried and trusted friends expects to see any considerable white membership within the rank and file of the organization I fear she is reckoning without her host.
Cooperation does not imply that all of the workers should perform the same task. Division of labor is the most effective mode of operation. After calf and dispassionate reflection, I am convinced that the most effective and practical form of racial cooperation in the present mood and temper of the Nordic mind, which we do not seem to be able to change or modify, is for the best of white men and women to be assigned positions of overhead supervision, leaving the field work which calls for intimate contact to colored co-workers. The history of the N.A.A.C.P. verifies and justifies this judgment. From the first, the whites have been assigned the chief places in the management. In my judgment a reversal of this policy would spell disaster for the organization. At one time the N.A.A.C.P. sought to assign white men to the field work but this policy lamentably failed. Negroes only can best accomplish intimate field work among their own people.
Our churches by bitter experience are learning the wisdom of this policy. The great religious denominations which fall wholly under Negro overhead control show deplorable weakness in the higher brackets of ecclesiastical guidance and directions. Our schools and colleges are passing through the period of experimentation. As Negro teachers increase, the white teachers withdraw. In most cases they have practically disappeared. The governing boards are and should be predominantly white men of the highest standing and distinction. There should always be colored men on trustee boards for colored schools, but they should never, in the present American mood or mind, constitute the majority, or even equality of membership. The two races will not function in comparable numbers and coordinate functions in any equation. The pronounced majority should be either white or black. Our trustee boards need a majority of colored members as consultants to keep the management in harmony with the just feeling and aspiration of the benefited race. Purely Ngro organizations in education, religion, politics or business, need white consultation and advice to keep themselves in alignment with the up-to-date methods and standards of the time.

Says Washington Negroes Are Playing Bridge While World is Crashing.
To the Editor:
We note in the daily press a release by Director of Public Welfare Mr. Elwood Street, which discusses Subsistence Homesteads Farms for the unemployed in Washington, D.C.
Washington has the largest percentage of its citizens on relief, of any large city, and over 80 per cent of these are Negroes. There are over 20,000 Negroes on Reltief in the District of Columbia.

Texas Celebrates Failure of Bill
By WILLIAM PICKENS
A day or so after Congress adjourned with out passing an Anti-Lynching law, Texans celebrated the event by lynching a young Negro. (I am writing at Houston: Texas.) The towns of Kirbyville, Orange, and Newton whose names figure in its news, lie east on Houston toward Beaumont.
As nearly as I can gather from sources of information so far, and you can easily read the truth "between the lines" in the most prejudiced newspaper reports, the facts are somewhat like this:
A young white woman, of a vagrant and wayward disposition and known to men, went to a colored laborer's house and went to bed with the colored man, but there is no proof of that. At any rate somebody "tipped off" the sheriff and he went there and found the girl in bed, resting peacefully and contentedly and evidently acting on her own free will.
When a southern white man finds a white woman in such a situation he invariably pays a tribute to a white womanhood by concluding she has been having intercourse with the colored man.
This young woman is about 20 years old at least. The newspapers try to put her age low, of course, so as to win sympathy for the savagery of the lynching, but they are not consistent about it: some admit that she was over 18, and others assert that she was "white girl of 17" to get it below the official "age of consent."
This girl had been out with a white man the evening before the sheriff found her in the Negro's cabin. The white man had got her drunk and abandoned her by the roadside. Who knows but that she only sought shelter in the colored laborer's home? And in all evidence, what ever happened, she willingly participated in it.
The mob has sealed that Negro's lips with death, so that he cannot now tell his story. Mobs like to keep the Negro from talking, in such cases. But we notice that the sheriff not only locked up and arrested the colored man, but that he also put into jail the white woman whom he found peacefully and willingly abiding in the Negro's house.
Evidently that sheriff considered the woman guilty, in spite of all his talk (after the lynching); about the girl's being in a seeming daze as if she had been drugged, and so forth and so son.
This Negro laborer had no drugs—and where on earth would a white man put a white woman in jail instead of sending her home or to the hospital, when he ound her in a Negro's house "obviously attacked" (as he said) and in bad condition? That is too thin a lie,—besides nobody so far has let the girl do any talking at all for herself.
A court and not a mug was the proper agency to inquire into this case and to deal with it.
Some recent experiences of my own can throw some light on what happens. Colored men everywhere, especially in the south, can recall similar incidents.
When the editor of the Black Dispatch and I were recently touring the state of Oklahoma in his Buick which had a comfortable rumble seat, we traveled 2,500 miles in all parts of the state.
Seldom did we go a hundred miles by day or early evening without having some white man, usually a couple of white women, who were tramping or hiking, to try to "thump a ride" or to induce us to pick them up. It we always did, of course, was to step on the gas, and to observe the thumbling operations only out of the corner of the eyes.
On one occasion we observed a trick: as we sped by the woman who was waving and calling, we saw a man, evidently her companion, lying in the gutter and the grass just a few feet behind her, waiting to see if she would be able to stop us. Perhaps he only put the woman forward as the best bait to catch a ride. But who knows?
On another occasion when I was travelling alone in Oklahoma, a white girl, saying she was 18 years old and was leaving home because of the "cruelty" of her stepfather, asked me if I would not get her a place to stay among colored people in Muskegowith our bus was bound. I was "just passing through" and "unaquainted in Muskegow."
This situation causes experienced colored Americans, especially in the south, to refuse what might, under normal circumstances, be the promptings of humanity: one well-known colored citizen of Galveston, Texas, told me that one far out on the road he saw one white woman lying down, ill or hurt or simulating illness or injury, while the other one tried to wave him to stop.
He stepped on the gas, and has never known whether he passed up a chance to serve humanity or dodged the danger of being robbed or blackmailed.

Where can it all lead to?
from nearly all the positions that pay a living wage in both the Federal and District of Columbia governments, and in the mechanical trades. Our mechanics in the building construction industry are practically excluded from all A.F.L. work except that at Howard University, a new construction a few Negroes are permitted to work who have A.F. of F. cards. We wonder if our school teachers, doctors, lawyers, dentists and clergymen realize what it means to them if their public is moved as peasants to farms away from here. Will they not of necessity follow their public? When our professional class wakes to the realization that their own future is wrapped with that of the masses, then they will begin combating the influences that are slowly but surely eliminating the Negro in economic life in Washington. The Citizens' Associations are the most effective weapons we have in the defense of our rights, yet there is only a negligible percentage of our intellectuals in our Civic Associations. The other race is superior not because they are white, but because they are organized. The Federation of Civic Associations on Friday, June 22, ordered a drive for membership in each one of the 18 civic associations in the federation and appointed a committee to conduct same. This is the opportunity for the intellectual strength of our group in the Nation's Capital to join in a movement not only for their salvation but for a great forward movement.

Differences Between Parties Pointed out by Manuel Roque
Federal News Notes
by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES
TODAY IS THE TOMORROW YOU WORRIED
ABOUT YESTERDAY
By MANUEL R. ROQUE
(Political Analyst and Writer)
Speaking of the two major political parties in the country, something about, which we are going to hear no end of discussion within the next few months and probably years, there are many reasons why the Negro should support either of the two as a plain American citizen and nothing else.
The issues between these two parties—Democratic and Republican—have been issues which have not affected the Negro as a race, but which indeed have affected him as an individual citizen and in like manner individuals of other groups within the jurisdiction of our government. For the differences between these two parties are fundamental. They are merely policies which as a whole affect everyone regardless of creed, color, or position.
Truthfully, the differences between the Democratic and Republican party are fundamental. But even then it is not difficult to find the line of elevege and determine the reasons why a good Democrat and a good Republican can both be good Americans. Both work as they think best in the interest of the country as a whole, and this is because the line of demarcation between the policies of the two parties seem so slender as to provoke some degree of interest in the mind of the people without affecting the sense of loyalty and partisotism that moves their heart.
The Beginning of the Two Parties
But there is a great difference between these two parties. As truth of this statement one has but to study the proceedings of the Continental Congress; the Constitutional Conventions; and the proceedings of the first eight congresses under the accepted Constitution. The two major parties, originally called Federalist and Republican, presented two divergent views on the fundamentals of free government. The two outstanding leaders representing these views were Hamilton and Jefferson.
Their difference were fundamental. Those who agreed with Jefferson became affiliated with the then Republican Party, which is known today as the party of Jefferson, or the Democratic Party. Those who agreed with Hamilton, the Federalists, are today in theory the Republicans. In other words, the Republican party of today is the successor of the Federalist Party, which believed that the objective of free government cannot be achieved by giving the people the greatest measure of personal liberty consistent with public security. And some how the Republicans of today, still following Hamilton's theory, still believe in this feudalistic idea.
Jefferson's party—the Democratic party of today—believes in a government subjected to actual control by all the people. On the other hand, the Hamiltonians—the Republicans—believe that the people are not capable of wisely governing themselves, and that government should be so organized as to deprive the people of effective control of the policies of government.
President Roosevelt today is the greatest exponent of the Jeffersonian theory that the people should take an active part in government. We have seen this theory in action during the past year by seeing men of all classes and conditions helping the government in the solution of the many and perplexing problems heaped on the nation and the people by the Hamiltonian idea of a government by a privileged few.
Tariff Has Been
Bone of Contention
For it can be safely said that the Republican party of today does not essentially differ in any wise from the Federalist party of a hundred and some old years ago. Their philosophy is still that of giving special advantages in the form of monopolices to manufacturing and other industries, believing that prosperity thus created will percolate down to the masses and thus increase the purchasing power of the people. In contrast, the Democratic viewpoint is that of executing an economic policy that would afford all classes equal opportunity, distribu-
(Conduced by, William L. Jackson during the absence of Mr. Hayes)
Secretary Ickes, of the Interior Department, has his employees in a state of "jitters" after his impromptu stroll through his department, finding loafing and chiseling on the job. I have reasons to believe that not one colored employee did he find loafing on the job for the few clerks that we do have value these positions to such an extent that they work hard to please. Many of them have jobs that require most of their time in order to do the job in a manner that can not be criticized.

The Virgin Islands will be honored by a visit from President Roosevelt this summer, the First Lady having already paid her visit to the little isle of poverty. According to Governor Pearson, the President will find a population, 93 percent Negroes who live in a pitiful state. Most of the island is a jum
ting all the benefits as well as burden of taxation among all the people. They also believe that so long as the prosperity of producers and wage earners depends upon the attitude of capital and industry so long will the American people face a discontented and distressed situation.
For many years the bone of contention between these two major parties has been the tariff. The Republican party on more than one occasion has declared itself in favor of a tariff rate sufficiently high to equalize the cost of production in this country and other countries. But here the two parties differ categorically on the application of the same policy, for the Republican view-point would be determined by the view-point of the manufacturers and industrialists that from a long period of years have been the beneficiaries of Republican tariff legislation. Whereas the Democratic party has declared for a tariff that would permit effective competition and insure against the cut-throat competition and monopoly that precipitated the economic debacle witnessed during the last few years.
National and Racial Issues Face Us
But here the discussion will end as to why the Negro should support any political party on the basis of a plain American citizen. All this naturally affects him as such, but other things affect him more directly. And those things that affect him may truthfully be said not to be of his own making. As a plain citizen all national issues are his issues, but as a member of a minority group he has his own issues to face.
It is becoming more and more self-evident that the colored man has to support the political party that offers the greatest opportunity for the general advancement of the race in any and all matters pertaining to the advancement of the American nation as a whole. He will therefore continue to support the party that gives him the greatest guarantee of self help and advancement. It is somehow difficult to believe that only a few years past the Negro was the political football of a party, while today he is an accepted entity in the administration of government if not in the political life of the nation. But on his onward march to still greater recognition there should be no let up.
This is the greatest opportunity the Negro race ever had to prove its worth, loyalty and patriotism to the national government. And the opportunity has come from above and not from below. For from the beginning the Administration took the initiative and loudly proclaimed just what benefits were in store for the colored race in general.
Republicans are Adept at Subterfuges
Unlike the Republican party that hld under a cloak of subterfuges and went as far as to insult Negro womanhood in its nillywilly catering to special interests, the Democratic party has conclusively shown that so far it is willing to do the right thing for the colored people of the country. It is giving action where others gave excuses. It has actually raised the political and economic level of the Negro, and if present attitude are any criterion there is much to be hoped for in the future.
But so far as the Negro and other unprivileged classes are concerned, this is a period of transition almost identical to the post-Civil War enforcement of constitutional guarantees. Almost everything will stand or fall on the courage, conviction and loyalty of the people its is fighting to safeguard, and this applies more to the Negro than to any other group. For the Negro has no organization or effective mouthpiece with which to carry the message to Garcia. It has some able representatives in the halls of government in whom the authorities rely to see the reflection of the hopes and aspiration of the people. Everything will stand or fall on what they see in these men through their words and deeds. If their mind is clouded by selfish desires, if their heart is warped by petty animosities, the good work of the Administration will have gone for naught.

Subsistence homesteads are already on the way, and will be the native's for the labor and effords they put forth. No other president has taken so much interest in the welfare of the Negro. Former President Hoover paid a visit to the islands some time ago, and called it an effective poorhouse, but if the Virgin Island Company, with $1,000,000 of P. W. A. funds, to grow sugar and distill rum and start other paying business gets working in full, it will be an effective market place for the U. S. A.

Congressman Cavagan, of New York, pointed with pride to the fact that colored women worked in the Department of Commerce Building as eveator conductors. I doubt very seriously if he knew the hardships under which these women work. Long tiresome hours of standing, short relief periods, and other things that could be improved upon.
I noticed that some of the recently appointed men work on the passenger cars while women are pulling and tugging at the heavy doors on the freight cars. Such irregularities cause much dissatisfaction among the operators. Many of them have spoken to me about such things, and from what I can gather, they have no one to go to with their troubles, the higher ups are not concerned over trivals? they have a foreman to supervise the work of the operators, to make out schedules, and look out for the girls in general. Evidently this is not being done. If I were in charge of a group I would be ashamed to see a dissatisfied worker knowing that I had made no effort to remedy the ills of the job.
Negroes in responsible positions must not be content to let the worse come to the worse. If you are a leader, stand up for what is right, let your chief know that you can do more than relay his orders.

When is
Whiskey
Whiskey?
Whiskey, jike hash, has had a thousand definitions, and now Uncle Sam comes forth with his last and quite official, binding word, promulgated through the Federal Alcohol Control Administration. Just to let you know what you are drinking, governmental masterminds have concluded that they have the real answer to a controversy that years ago even caused a President of the United States, William Howard Taft, to write a special opinion. At any rate, what the FACA says counts 100 per cent. Here is their declaration:
"Straight whiskey is any alcoholic distillate produced from a fermented mash of grain, distilled at not exceeding 160 proof, and withdrawn from the cistern room of the distillery between 110 and 80 proof, and produced by the type of materials, and as part of the same season's distillation, whether or not such proof is reduced prior to bottling." Veterans in the liquor industry, after voking a general O. K., made a plea for some additional wordage, at a hearing held by Director Joseph H. Choate, Jr. They wanted it stimulated that the distillate should be "placed in charred oak barrels and aged therein for a period of not less than four months," so announced Supervisor James M. Doran of the Code Authority.
Official Washington is laughing over the response by Mr. Choate: "A horse is a horse, according to definition—whether one year or twenty years old. Straight whiskey is straight whiskey." This incident has great significance to the public it is now revealed. Had the board made the addition to the definition, it would have forced modern producers of whiskey to adopt, wholly or in part, old methods, with resultant extra expense and delay in placing their products on the market.
This Week
By HAROLD G. BATON
(A bit of humor is good for the soul)
Looking over the daily papers, this week, I ran across a good scheme for people who wished to spend a day on some distant beach but without the necessary funds, are forced to remain at home.
The whole outlay is quite comical—but if one should try it I think he will be just about as pleased as though the real thing had taken place.
The following is "Synthetic Outing" written by Frank Sullivan for the Washington Times. Try it and if you are pleased recommend it to your friends. It will save both time and money:
"It is not necessary to go to the beach to have a bang-out outings. For a tenth of the cost you can have a day at the beach without stepping foot out of the house. All you need is a bathroom, some bathing suits, plenty of flies, a fish and two young men. The young men should be fresh.
"The necessary sand can be procured by de-sanding the baby's spinach. Two bales of spinach will yield sand for a home beach party of seven. It should not be difficult to get the flies. They are very plentiful this year, as a great many impoverished European flies have come over here to ske out a precarious existence.
"You simply must not forget the fresh young men. Their function is to play catch on the "beach" and hit everyone with the ball."
"On the morning of the party mother gets up at 4 o'clock to get the "beach" ready. She fills the bathtub with water, adding plenty of salt. Then she arranges the sand around the bathroom. A little seaweed tastefully disposed about the place and a few empty gin bottles and orange rinds and you have a beach fit for the queen's taste.
"We can even have the trip to the shore without leaving the house, by locking mother and dad, the three youngsters, Cousin Sue and her two young ones, little Ella's school chum, May, and the two fresh young men in a clothes closet. Then let them mill around for five minutes and they will emerge looking just as exhausted and battered as if they had actually made the bus trip to the beech. "All now pile merrily into the bathroom, and Pa lets the flies loose. One of the fresh young men drops a fish down Ella's back, and she has hysterics. Little Jackie won't go near the water (in the bathtub) because he is afraid, so Pa says, "Throw him in. That's the way to learn him. Sink or swim." Jackie disappoints Pa by sinking, and he has to be rescued. Mother has hysterics at this, and calls Pa everything.
---
"Ma sits on the edge of the bathtub, pretending it is a pier. One of the fresh young men pushes her into the water with her clothes on. The two young men should be very diligent about swaggering up and down the bathroom, showing off their figures and bulging muscles for the girls, as all beach sheels do. When they play catch they never really catch the ball, but let it hit somebody. The baby would not feel she had been at a beach party unless she were beamed two or three times by a hard rubber ball.
"What with the general romping and "fresh air" everybody soon has a roaring appetite, and there are shrieks for food, and desires expressed to eat a horse. Mother goes looking for the food. It is not there. If the beach party at home is to be any kind of success it must absolutely be pretended that the food his been forgotten.
"Ma says she thought Pa was going to bring it. Pa says he distinctly told Ella to bring it. Ella says she thought Cousin Sue had charge of it. Sue says she naturally thought Ma was taking care of that. So nobody gets anything to eat.
...
"By this time everybody, has had enough of the 'beach' for one day. So all pile again into the clothes closet for the trip home. In ten minutes everybody emerges from the closet, complete wrecks, and the beach party at home is pronounced a brilliant success by all."

Evensong
By Ridgely Torrence
Beauty calls and gives no warning.
Shadows rise and wander on the day.
In the twilight, in the quiet evening.
We shall rise and smile and go away.
Over the flaming leaves
Freezes the sky.
It is the season grieves.
Not you, not I.
All our spring-times, all our summers.
We have kept the longing warm within.
Now we leave the after-comers
To attain the dreams we did not win.
Oh, we have wakened, Sweet,
and had our birth.
And that's the end of earth;
And we have toiled and smiled
and kept the light.
And that's the end of night.

One of the most interesting places to stay while on vacation (that is, if you can only so arrange) is "inside your income." One of the best places to stay out of (or rather so it would seem) is the hospital. In the case of Miss Camille Nickerson of Howard University School of Music, however, the hospital experience really wasn't so bad. On the contrary, except perhaps for the very day when she "said goodbye" to a hateful appendix, her stay at Carson's Hospital was apparently pleasant. One happy feature about it (from her friends' viewpoint at least) was the fact that for two whole weeks the lovely Camille had one fixed address. You see so popular is this particular convalescent she is really rather hard to find, especially during vacation time. But the hospital held her fast a while, and now her many friends are marking on their calendars "July 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, etc., found Miss Nickerson in."

Sometime ago Mr. and Mrs. Otto Scruggs of Adams Street were in the midst of preparations for a visit to the Century of Progress Exposition with a couple of friends. In the meantime the popular Otto was made Chairman of a mammoth amusement venture (Boat Picnic to River View). The Asbury M. E. Church Men's Club (Elvin R. Sheppard, president) is sponsoring it. And now I'd be willing to risk my last low "buffalo" on the guess that Mr. and Mrs. Scruggs will see Chicago. But it won't be as per schedule. It will be sometime after August 4th. For that's the day young Mr. Scruggs must "engineer" an excursion. And with the whole Club ably backing him and his charming little Mrs. there to aid him.

It's really a shame the way Dame Fashion plays tricks on Milady. Take the matter of milinery, for instance. No sooner had Miss Ever-so-Smart (and Mrs. too) decided at just what angle and over which pretty eye to place her cartwheel; no sooner had she begun a sweet little ditty blessing her mirror for the lovely image envisioned there; no sooner had she sworn that because the cartwheel had really transformed her into a charmer, she'd live the rest of her days and maybe die right by it; no sooner had she said and done all these things, when along came Madame Fashion and shouted out quite loudly "Make way for the new Beret". And now what will Milady do? Will she dare to stand her ground? Will she forget the frequent ditates of the fickle Lady Vogue and keep on bravely clinging to her little cartwheel? She won't. She's already hunting a hat shop to buy herself a beret!

Wild Ride Through Streets Result of Man's Determination to Keep Auto MACHINE TAKEN TO SATISFY JUDGMENT
Deputy Bradshaw is Injured as He is Forced to Smash Window Pane with Fist
Thwarted in his attempt to dislodge two deputy United States marshals from the running board of his automobile and thus avoid seizure of the vehicle, Eddie Yarborough, 37, 1520 Ninth Street Northwest, was compelled to face charges of assault and reckless driving in Police Court, Monday morning. Bonds of $300 each were fixed for his release.
Yarborough, according to police, sought to escape in the car when the two officers, W. Tecumseh Bradshaw, and H. S. Coates, the latter white, made an effort to take it in attachment on a judgment Running the windows up, Yarborough locked himself in and tried to drive away.
As the deputy marshals leaped to the running board of the man's car, the latter speeded up. And as they clung desperately to the sides of the speeding automobile the driver swerved from one side of the street to the other.
At the corner of Tenth and N Streets, Bradshaw smashed the window on the side he occupied, reached in and pulled the keys from the ignition switch. As the vehicle rolled to a stop, Yarborough was taken into custody and held for the arrival of police from the Second Precinct. Miner cuts on the hand were sustained by Mr. Bradshaw.
When arraigned, Yarborough entered pleas of not-guilty and demanded jury trials, Judge Gus A. Schuld, before whom the traffic case was scheduled, set July 19 for the hearing. Judge Isaac R. Hitt docked the assault case for July 31.
Lawyer's Plea Unavailing as Client Gets 360 Days
A brilliant plea, launched by a defense attorney failed to move Judge Isaac R. Hitt, sitting in United States Branch of Police Court, Monday morning, and as a consequence, William Perry, 706 Ninth Street, Southwest, was moved into the cell-block until he could move a $15 fine into the hands of the court auditor. Perry, accused of assaulting Albert Lott, recently arrived from Newark, N.J., declared that he struck Lott when the latter reached into his pocket for a knife following a dispute over a dice game at the Ninth Street address, Friday. His defense was based on the contention that he had sought to compel Lott and several other youths to dispense with the gambling and leave his house.
Lott and a friend denied this, and asserted that Perry was "running" a game and that he attacked the former without provocation. They both declared that Perry did not order them out of the house until after the fracas. The defense lawyer set forth his client's right to "protect his castle no matter how humble," and held that Perry's act was purely in self-defense, but Judge Hitt and Assistant United States Attorney David A. Hart would have none of it.

Brick Tossing Results in Smashing of 12 Windows; One Convicted
The story of a Fourth of July free-for-all which resulted in the destruction of .12 windows and slight injuries to several of the participants was brought into United States Branch of police court, Judge Isaac R. Hitt, presiding, Monday morning.
When the story was complete, all the versions drawn into one and a common conclusion reached, it was felt that Mrs. Jessie Graves, 69, Fenton Street, Northwest was guilty of the charges of assault and destroying private property, and yet was somewhat justified in her actions.
It seems that Mrs. Graves went next door after her errant husband, and when she did the proprietress or what-have-wa of the next door house took objections to the visit. She and her friends, according to the defendant, jumped her and began tossing bricks here, there and everywhere.
Not to be outdone the startled tossing a few herself, mixing a few bottles in among the masonary. Freddie Graves, the husband, somehow or other managed to stay out of the mix-up although he was the central figure.
At any rate Mrs. Sapp, 71, Fenton treet, saw an even dozen window-panes shattered, and became peeved to the extent that she demanded the arrest of Mrs. Graves. The latter was granted a personal bond imposition on the destroying property change, and was fined $10 for the assault.
Detective Pittman Shoots Robbery Suspect in Leg
Detective Daniel D. Pittman, assigned to the Second Precinct, Saturday shot Eddie Johnson, 16-year-old robbery suspect, in the left ankle as the youth attempted to elude him in an alley near Sixteenth and R Streets, Northwest. The boy was treated at Freedmen's Hospital.
According to the detective's report, he and Detective F B. Ashe were called to 1440 R Street, Northwest, to investigate an attempted robbery. When the two officers arrived on the scene, Harvey V. Avery, resident of the address, pointed out two men as the robbery suspects. Both detectives gave chase. Ashe caught one of the men, the other fled down an alley with Detective Pittman in pursuit. Pittman said he fired one shot in the air in an attempt to scare the boy but instead Johnson turned and went toward his rear pocket. He then fired a second shot the bullet hitting the boy in the ankle. Johnson lives at 219-a Morgan Street, Northwest.
Struck Her But He Doesn't Know Why He Did It
Pleading guilty to an unexplainable assault on Mrs. Nellie Fergy (white), John Brown, no fixed address, was sentenced to 6 months in jail by Police Court Judge Isaac R. Hitt, Monday morning. Brown told the court that he struck the woman and knocked her down on the street Saturday, but merely shook his head when the court questioned him as to what prompted the act.
Noisy Guards
Neighborhood Aroused at 2 A.M. by Employees of Banneker. Pool
A group of wrathful citizens in the 2500 block of Georgia Avenue were aroused early Monday morning by the loud shouting of guards and employees of the new Banneker Swimming Pool who alarmed the neighborhood with yelling and swearing while cleaning the pool. Police of No. 2 Precinct were called in before the guards were quieted. The loud yelling of the men started about 2 a.m. and lasted until nearly 4 a.m. It was also reported that several of the men were cleaning the pool while in the nude. Glascoe Mack, former Howard University football captain and in charge of the night crew, denied that any of his men were naked. The bright flood lights made the pool visible for blocks and the sweepers could be clearly seen as they plied brooms and mons.
Captain Koover, chief of the welfare bureau, stated to the Tribune that the pool is cleaned at night so as to keep it open each day. It the big concrete pool, which would require a full day to clean would necessitate closing it for a day to bathers, he said. However, he promised that with cooler weather it would] be possible to close it one day in each week in order to permit cleaning. His office immediately launched an investigation into the unusual noise. Brooms and mops are used for cleaning purposes, he said and not mouths.
STRICKEN WHILE VISITING, MAN DIES IN STREET
Sudden Death Comes As He Walks to Parked Car for Fresh Air
Suddenly seized with an attack of illness, Sunday, Robert H. Dulaney, 43, of 807 T Street, Northwest, walked from the house at 144 Seaton Place, Northwest, where he was visiting, to his parked car a few yards from the premises, slumped to the sidewalk and died before medical aid could reach him. It was his intention to get fresh air by sitting in the machine. Friends of the man, Edna Fisher and Mary White, of the Seaton Place address, rushed to the side of the fallen man and summoned Emergency Hospital ambulance but their efforts proved futile.

Funeral rites for the deceased were held Wednesday from the W. Ernest Jarvis funeral church. Interment was at Douglass Cemetery in Alexandria, Va.

EX-ATHLETE SUED FOR MAINTENANCE BY YOUNG WIFE
Charles (Alden) Brown Cited for Nonsupport of Mate and Minor Child
Charles A. Brown, messenger in the Interior Department and onetime active in local athletic circles, was sued for separate support and maintenance by his wife, Mrs. Clarice Tyler Brown, in a petition filed in District Supreme Court, last Friday morning. Mrs. Brown's bill requests provisions for herself and minor child from her husband.
Attorney Augustus W. Gray, counsel for the plaintiff, cites the ownership of an automobile by Brown as provocation for Mrs. Brown's act. The complainant asserts that although the defendant has contributed only $55 to the car itself and two-and-a-half-yearly since February of 1993, he has been able to purchase and retain a car for his own pleasures purposes.
Charges Cruelty
The petition further states that the couple were married December 15, 1930; that they lived together as man and wife until June 5, 1932 when alleged cruelty on the part of the husband forced Mrs. Brown to leave their home at 1319 S Street, Northwest, and return to live with her mother and stepfather at 1345 S Street, Northwest. The wife states that Brown receives a salary of $1,600 per year as a government messenger and that except for the small amount cited above, none of the money has been expended in the interest of her child and her. She also claims that numerous efforts on her part to obtain employment have proved futile. Brown is 24 years old, his wife 23.

Stork Wages Gallant Battle Against Heat
Those of us who look upon the stork as a pretty swell guy had to appreciate the battle the long-billed rascal put up in his effort to make the world a less lonely place to live in, during the past week. As hot as it was he carried on, staggering under the weight of responsibility and the punishment of Old Sol.
From Monday to Monday he had as tough a time of it as he has had since he was a little storkling, or whatever baby stodks are. He began the week Tuesday by bringing in a load of eight newcomers, one by one, and two of a kind. These latter went to Mama and Papa Julius and Lottie Rush.
Then in celebration of the Fourth he plodded in with a caravan of 13. He rested on his laurels the following day and called his job complete with a mere quartet of younglings, and lay down to take a nap. But lo and behold when he finally roused himself he discovered that Friday had slipped by him and he had a nice, big juicy goose-egg to his credit. He pulled in his saills Saturday bearing 6 little boyses and girlses and returned on the Sabbath with half that number.
Again the next day he thought he was going to get away with a quiet, lazy snooze, but was awakened by a tugging at his wing-feathers. He looked up into the smiling faces of Jawn and Poil Thomas who were saying, "Please give us our goil." They got her, the only proud parents of the day.

Old Horse Saves Master From a Sentence in Jail
An old faithful nag by the name of Bartholomew saved his master a jail sentence in Police Court on Monday morning. Robert E. Lee, 35, was arrested Sunday near Seventh and Q Streets, Northwest, and charged with being drunk. When brought before Judge Ralph Given in Police Court, Lee said he did not mind going to jail, but pleaded with the court to "have somebody take care of Bartholomew." As there is no fund in the District treasury to care for homeless horses the judge took Lee's personal bond so he could look after Bartholomew.
