Two twilight ladies were given
very stiff sentences which were
suspended when they appeared be-
fore Judge Robert Mattingly in police court Friday morning.
Both were arrested by Detective
G. C. Carver and charged with so-
liciting along Fourteenth Street,
near R and S Streets in the early morning hours.
Despite the fact that Miss Doris Blair, 1447 R Street, Northwest, produced a bank book showing a balance of over $200 in savings, she was found guilty of the begging charge. To further prove that she was not "that kind of a girl," John W. Dykes, proprietor of the Chalcedony Inn, swanky night club on the Washington-Ballimore Boulevard, testified that Miss Blair worked him for which he paid her $1 a week. However, the court produced a record to show that the girl has arrested five times before for the same charge.

The court took for granted that Miss Wynn was white and expressed surprise when officers stated that she lived with a colored man. "I am not married your honor and when I do I will marry a colored man because I am colored myself," she stated. Like Miss Blair she was picked up by police near Fourteenth Street in the early morning hours. J. J Harris, a tailor, testified that the girl worked for him for which he paid her $18 per week. "She is an excellent seamstress," Harris said. "Six months or $500," said the judge.

TRIGGER MAN IS FREED IN SHOOTING
Racketeer's Injured Guard Said to Have Shot in Defense of Life
A verdict of justifiable homicide, returned by a coroner's jury following an inquest in to the death, Saturday night, of Harry Sladko, alias Henry Irving, (white), resulted in the exoneration of William Redford, 55.292 Sherman Avenue, Northwest, charged with the shooting which claimed the life of Sladko. The inquest was held at the District Morgue, Tuesday, Dr. A. Magruder McDonald, District coroner, presiding.
The five white men and one colored comprising the coroner's jury concluded that Redford, a confessed body-guard for Walter J. Harper, white numbers "runner" had shot down Sladko "in defense of his own life."
Attempted "Stick-up"
Testimony presented at the inquiry revealed that Harper, living in the 3500 block of Warder Street, was enroute to the home of Frank Norris, 3800 New Hampshire Avenue, an alleged numbers banker, with the day's receipts of more than $300. Accompanied by Redford and another body-guard, Lawrence W. Goodwillion 26, 1510
acceded by one of several white men and told to "hand it over." According to witnesses the "runner" dropped the money-sack. When Redford spoke up saying "you can't take that money," the white man, later identified as Sladko, began firing. Redford replied with fire from his own revolver. Redford was shot in the left cheek, Sladko in the abdomen.
Friends Leave Victim
Accomplices of the wounded white man placed him in the machine used in the hold-up and rushed him to Homeopathic Hospital where he was left on the sidewalk outside. Redford was treated at Freedmen's Hospital where he was carried by Gomillion. The bandit group escaped with the bag of money.
According to Harper it is his nightly duty to convey the money received in the day's business from 1709 U Street, Northwest, from where they had been on their way Saturday night to their "poss" at the New Hampshire address. Sladko is said, by police, to have been a New Jersey gunman, recently implicated in a mail robbery.

LOVE CHILD IS BASIS FOR DIVORCE
Andrew W. Jenkins Seeks Absolute Divorce from Alleged Unfaithful Mate
A birth certificate filed with the District of Columbia Health Department should prove the undoing of Mrs. Mildred Jenkins and Henry Pendavis, co-defendants, should an attempt be made to contest the divorce action instituted by Andrew W. Jenkins, 306 L Street, Southeast. The certificate records the birth of a child to Mrs. Jenkins, from whom Jenkins seeks divorce, and Mr. Pendavis, who is named as co-respondent.
The bill, filed Thursday by Attorney Augustus W. Gray, states that Mrs. Jenkins left her husband to go live with Pendavis after a quarrel between them on April 11, 1933, and that since that time she had never returned to their home. It further avers that she and Pendavis lived together at 712% Thirteenth Street, Northeast, before moving to their present address 525 Fifteenth Street, Northeast.
That the pair had been guilty of adultery, out of which narcotage to a child girl had developed, was borne out by Health Department records and vital statistics carried in the Tribune of March 1, 1934. The child was born to Mrs. Jenkins at Gallinger Hospital on February 16, 1934. At the time of birth, it is alleged, Mrs. Jenkins gave the parentage as "Henry and Mildred Pendavis." In his petition Mr. Jenkins asserts that he and Mrs. Jenkins were married on October 17, 1932, and that they had lived together as man and wife from that time to April 11, the time of the quarrel. He declares that when he returned home from work that evening he found his spouse had masked her things and left the house.

Tuskegeeans Charge Hughes Lied on Moton
CHICAGO, (ANP) — Delegates to the national convention of the Tuskekee General Alumni Association in session here this week, asserted informally that Langston Hughes had written a plain falsehood concerning Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, in an article in the August Crisis.
The point raised was Hughes' charge that Dr. Moton had favored a wage differential in the south, allowing lower wages for Negroes doing the same work than for whites.
The Tuskegeeans were puzzled to know where Mr. Hughes may have been when Dr. Moton's objection to any such differential were widely published last year in the white and colored newspapers.

The modern trend of furniture is to the ultra-modern—exposed steel structure with sharp lines dominating over curves, especially in chairs. Even the old rocker is being replaced by the new flexible steel chairs which have no legs, but only curved steel frames extending from the front and curving backward until the rear is parallel with the back of the chair (there being nothing under the seat of the chair except the two front flexible steel supports) yet you get the same effect of a rocking chair in this simplified arrangement. These chairs are now popular for porch and beach use.
The foregoing is a simple argument against the idea that modern furniture is uncomfortable. On the contrary, it is very comfortable without being too elaborate.
It is interesting to note that the United States is 12 per cent to 18 per cent saturated with electrical refrigerators, whereas Washington is more than 30 per cent saturated.
The above fact assures one that Washington is one of the nation's largest "quality" markets. Washingtonians are essentially quality conscious, whereas, say Baltimore and New Orleans are "price" towns.

Near 5,000 See Sarilla Go Down Under Chocolate's Pummelling
Cuban Flash, Catching Panama Battler in Path of Toboggan, Crushes Him on Way Down From Pugilistic Heights
By STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Kid Chocolate, the Cuban Bon Bon and former featherweight champion of the world who, fight critics say, is definitely on the decline, Friday night, dragged his 132 pounds of well-proportioned ebony humanity into the ring at Griffith Stadium, pummelled one Andre Sarilla around for six rounds, and then knocked out the tough Panamaic after 1 minute and 57 seconds of fighting in the seventh round.
Kid Chocolate, the Cuban Bonchampion of the world who, fight crine, Friday night, dragged his 1 ebony humanity into the ring at O Andre Sarilla around for six rounds, Panamaic after 1 minute and 57 round.
Blow-by-blow description of the Chocolate-Sarilla fight will be found on page 14.
Nearly 5,000 idolizing fight fans cheered, cheered and cheered as the "Keei" delivered the knockout punch a short right jab to the jaw, that sent the Panama southpaw to the canvas for the count. For six rounds Chocolate, his flashy and remarkable speed, his masterful ring generalship still bearing a semblance of the former champion—but his once terrific punch somewhat lacking in its power, battered the awkward Panama puncher's face into an ebon mass of distorted matter. With Sarilla thus ready for the "kill" Chocolate had little trouble laying him low in the fatal seventh.
As early as the first round, Chocolate had the Panamic groggy. After all, the formal preliminaries were over, the two fighters came out slowly each apparently content to feel out the other's style. Shortly, however, the Cuban weaved in with a series of swinging blows and uppercuts that had Andre quite bewildered and once sent him to his knees.
Sarilla Lands Two
Sarilla was able to land two blows which carried little effect in the second, but Chocolate easily won the round, making the Panamaic look mediocre by eluding his southpaw punches, and then, forcing him into the ropes pounding him with continuous body blows. Chocolate landed a left hook to the body that sent Andre to the floor in the third but the Panama opponent was up like a Japanese jumping jack.
The Cuban still punched the Panamaic in the fouth but Carilla, "a tough man," bounced around in futile flurry, several times attempting to land one good blow that he hoped might reel the former champion, but soon found that Chocolate's bevy of lefts and rights had so sapped the power from his punch that it was left as punchless as a Sunday school picnic punch. With Sarilla thus making a determined though awkward attack, Chocolate blocked ducked and eluded his punches with ease.
Sarilla's Eve Closed
Chocolate took several blows to the head in the fifth but always came up swinging and drove the Panama puncher to the ropes pummelling him with a furry of fists. In the sixth, the crowd began yelling for the "kill" and Chocolate, now fighting more cautiously and dodging Sarilla's punches with catlike sensitiveness, launched a two-first attack that drove the Panama portside into the ropes and closed his right eye.
Sarilla was fighting back gamey, but was destined to topple under the ferociousness of the Cuban Bon Bon's attack. Groggy and badly beaten, Sarilla weathered the storm of the round only by the sounding of the bell.
His right eye completely closed, Andre came out in the seventh still unwilling to give up. Chocolate bore in battering him into the ropes with first a right, and then a left, and finally a short right jab to the jaw, a blow which perhaps, would not have seriously bothered a fresh fighter, but Sarilla, worn and torn from the previous six rounds fell to the canvas in a heap, adding another chapter to the colorful ring career of the Cuban flash.
Chocolate weighed 132; Sarilla, 130. Kid Sullivan, white, referred the bout.
The Preliminaries Good
Young Canada Lee, 118, stablemate of Chocolate's floored Bobby Perry of Atlantic City, 124, three times to gain an eight-round decision in a gory semi-final. Lee had Perry's face covered with blood and his left eye cut by the end of the fisticuffing.
Jimmy Freeman, 149, Richmond, Va., won a second-round technical k. o. from Randy Beasley, 143, Philadelphia, and Young Kid Buffalo, was the victor in a fourth-round technical knockout from Speedy Dixon, local favorite, in two furious preliminaries that were scheduled to go six rounds. Joe Stewart, 133, Washington, gained a split decision from Elijah Lewis, Richmond, in a four-round opener.
The boxing card, sponsored by the Lincoln Athletic Club, of which John W. Carter is secretary; Dr. William A. Goodie, president; and W. Ernest Jarvis, vice-president, dew the second largest gate in Washington since fighting was legalized here last spring. An official count of 4,326 fans paid more than $5,064.25 to see the show. Chocolate's share of the proceeds was reported to be more than $900.

STRONG FIELD IS SEEKING CITY COURT TITLE
Matches to be Played Saturday on Henry Courts Here
Plans for the District of Columbia Tennis championships have been completed with the first match scheduled to get under way Saturday, on the Henry Courts at 12 o'clock. The tournament, under the auspices of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. and the Walker Tennis Club, is attracting some of the outstanding players of the east and south.
Ted Thompson, outstanding luminary, is a local favorite to win the title. Although unable to attend the nationals, Ted is in tip top shape and is flashing the form displayed by him a number of years back. Babe Jones, of Baltimore, the defending champion, will head a brilliant group from that city, Dudley H. Woodard, former Washington player now teaching at the Agriculture and Technical College of North Carolina, will head a squad of three players from Greensboro.
Seven Local Men
Other local men to compete include Frank Perkins, Sterling Brown, Roscoe Lewis, R. Todd Duncan, Melvin Lancaster, Louis Stillwell, and Clyde Freeman.
In the women's division the competition should be keen with Ora Washington and Lula Ballard expected to compete. The local players include the Peters' sisters, Anita Gant and a group of other capable performers.
For information, call Arthur A. Greene, at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A.
HOWARD SWIM'ERS CAPTURE TITLE
Annex City Municipal Championship in Close Win at Own Pool
Swimmers of the Howard Pool won a closely-fought tank meet from aquatic stars of Walker Stadium and Francis to annex the city championship of municipal playgrounds, in the water at the Howard aquarium, last Friday afternoon. The Fourth and W outfit counted 43 points to edge out Walker Stadium, with 36, and Francis, with 30.
Banneker scored 25 points to clinch fourth place over Stevens and Logan, with 5 and 3 points respectively.
LeDroit Tigers to Meet Washington Pirates
Both teams having won doubleheaders from the 1933 city champion Georgetown Athletics, followers of the LeDroit Tigers and the Washington Pirates are looking forward to a pair of nip-and-tuck battles when they oppose each other on the grounds at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, Sunday. The teams are carded for a twin-bill, the first game to start at 1:30 o'clock.
The LeDroiters have been going well since Manager Sherman Baylor completed his round-up of young talent. Only Lefty Smith, Lewis and Moten were veterans in the batting order which twice conquered Dorsey's west-enders, last Sunday.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING AUGUST 25. 1934
HILLSDALES LOSE 9-6 DECISION TO ORIENTALS
Wheeler and Lacy Pounded in Jungaleer Win; Norris Stars
Playing steadily behind a 15-hit offensive and the stellar mound work of Robinson, the Oriental Tigers nine scored a surprise victory over the Hillsdale A.C. baseball team, 9-6, at the Monument Lot, Sunday afternoon. A large crowd was on hand to witness the affair, despite the fact that it was not to have been played there. Wet grounds necessitated the transfer of the game from the Oriental diamond at Second and T Streets, Southwest.
The Southwest aggregation went into an early lead, touching the offerings of Joe Wheeler for 5 hits and 4 runs in the first innings. The Hillsdale spitball artist weathered the storm until the fifth when he was relieved by Sam Lacy.
Five Hillsdale errors played an important part in the Orinetal scoring. Of these miscues, Willie Hope, first baseman, was the offender on two occasions. Weak hitting in the early stages of the game proved detrimental to the 'Dale cause.
Tramp Norris, Jungaleer catcher, was the principal figure in the defeat of the Prides of LeDroit. Beside throwing four ambitious Hillsdales out attempting to make second, the Oriental receiver counted 3 hits, one a double and another a triple, in 5 trips to the platter.

City-wide Playground Track Title Won by Crack Cardozo Outfit
Southwest Lads Annex Championship for Fifth Straight Year; Howard Second, 13 Points Behind, with Banneker Finishing Third
Amassing a total of 47 points, Cardozo Playground tracksters, Tuesday, retained their city track and field championship by winning the annual playground meet held at the Walker Memorial Stadium for the fifth straight year.
The Southwest lads, coached by Walter (Squat) Brooks, former Dunbar High School track star, were outstanding in the field events, its representatives winning four of the jumps. Howard Playground was second with 34 points while Banneker Recreation Center beat out Lincoln for third honors by one point. Banneker scored 26, and Lincoln, 25.
HOWARD GIRLS
CROWNED CHAMPS
Victorious in the annual swimming meet held at their pool, female swimmers of Howard Playground, Wednesday, established themselves as water champions on the District.
The natators scored 41 points to win the meet while Banneker was
Other playgrounds to score were as follows: Willowtree, 14; Walker Stadium, 12; Barry Farms, 11; Rose Park, 9; Francis, 9; Lovejoy, 6; Montgomery, 5; Payne, 5; Monroe, 4; Logan, 3; Stevens, 2. Fifteen of the twenty playgrounds figured in the point scoring.
Preceding the games, the athletes, who numbered nearly 800, marched around the field in a colorful parade fashioned after the celebrated Olympic games.
A feature of the day's program was the 100-meter dash in the unlimited unrestricted class which brought together three of the city's outstanding sprint stars. Berry Williams, Howard cinderpather, nosed out his teammate, Leroy Scurry, C.I.A.A. century champion, to win the event in 10 1-5 seconds. Off to a slow start, Williams gained ground steadily passing the tracksters at the 90-meter mark. Norman Fickling, Armstrong High School ace dashman, was a close third.
Timmy Smith, erstwhile half-mile champion of the District playgrounds, repeated his victory of last year by winning the event with 25 yards to spare. In the co-featured one-mile run, Ike Woodard, Bluefield College athlete, romped home ahead of the field of four with a 30-yard advantage.
Other outstanding performances included Henry Robinson's winning of the century dash in the unlimited restricted class in 10 2-5 seconds, Benjamin Frazier's leap of 20 feet, 9 1-4 inches in the unlimited broad jump, and little Reds Colston's victory in the 85-pound class 60-meter dash. Colston, who

HOWARD GIRLS CROWNED CHAMPS
Victorious in the annual swimming meet held at their pool, female swimmers of Howard Playground, Wednesday, established themselves as water champions of the District.
The natators scored 41 points to win the meet while Banneker was close on their heels with 34 points and Francis right behind with 31. Walker Stadium tallied 11 while Stevens Playground got 6 for fourth and fifth, respectively. Miss Maude Parker, supervisor of Girls on District Playgrounds, was prevented from presenting the awards for the winners because of a storm which broke out at the end of the program.
A feature of the meet was the two balloon races in which the contestant was required to swim 25 yards and then blow up a balloon until it burst. Rose Seldon captured one of the featured races but was disqualified because of participation in another class.
Georgetown Stopped by LeDroit Tigers
The LeDroit Tigers, continuing their spectacular play under the leadership of Sherman Baylor, took the measure of the champion Georgetown Athletics in both ends of a double-header at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, last Sunday afternoon. Jack Craig defeated Bus Frazier in the opener, 8-7, while Lefty George Smith bested Ed Brown in a nightcap pitchers' duel, 3-2. A homer by Jazz Coleman clinched the verdict in the finale.

ANACOSTIA WINS TWICE FROM D.C. CUB DIAMONDERS
Home-run by Ball, Two on Clinches First Game; Garland Losers' Best
The Anacostia Athletics, strong contenders for the 1934 city diamond title, won their first double-header in six at the expense of the fast, young D.C. Cub nine, last Sunday afternoon by scores of 10-8 and 7-4. A home run by Al Ball, star first-baseman of the Anacostians, with the score 8-6 against his team in the eighth, put the eventual winners in the lead which they never relinquished through the remainder of the opening clash. Mason and Duckett were on the bases at the time.
Bill Reed started for the Southeast aggregation, but was forced to retire in favor of Shufflin' Ossie Stewart before the contest was completed. Stewart gave up 2 hits and struck out 5 during the 4 innings he toiled.

The Georgetown Athletics will take on the second of their 1933 Tribune Round Robin Tournament opponents when they clash with the strong Anacostia Athletics in the first two games of a miniature "world series" planned for Norbeck, Md., Sunday. The Aztecs have already been met by the West-enders, an even break being gotten in the double-header earlier in the season.
The Anacostia outfit will be striving to unseat the Dorsey clan from their claim to the city championship. Although the DroitTigers stopped the Georgetowners twice last Sunday, it is generally conceded that the west-enders have the team to beat for the 1934 title.
Nine straight wins are in the record compiled by the Southeastners for the season, which record also includes a clean sweep of five out of six double-headers. With Os-

Last week marked the half way mark for the completion of playground athletic programs. Swimming meets with Howard as the winner in both classes of competition led the other playgrounds for the week. The Howard swimming team was a well balanced unit, a very necessary feature to win any playground meet. Their 70-pound class swimmers turned the tide against the Walker Stadium team as well as the Francis and Banneker teams.
The finals of the Horse shoe tourney will be held this Friday at the Walker Stadium with Logan. Howard and Shaw fighting it out for top honors
Lincoln Playground will have its dedication sometime in September according to Miss Helen Capers, director of the ground. An elaborate program is planned in conjunction with the National Recreation Convention to be held here in the District early this fall.
Barry Farms
Barry Farms girl's track team hopes to repeat its wins of a couple of years ago when it took the track championship from all other grounds. Much of the work of winning will be upon the shoulders of the following girls, Anita Green, Dorothy Slaughter, Abbylonia Yates, Margurite Hawkins, Eunice Proctor, Irene Wright, May Ridley and Edna Minor. Mrs. Florence Matthews and Miss Vesta McKenny are working very diligently to help the girls get into condition for the meet which will be held this afternoon in the Walker Stadium.
Monroe Playground
The Monroe Swimmers were in there fighting last Friday at the swimming meet but failed to score through lack of experience. That will mean for next year a stronger team at that playground. Elijah Williams and Miss Olive Rose are due much credit for having a team entered regardless of points scored. The loss of J. McKelvin of Monroe will be felt very keenly due to an unexpected call to come to the south for two months.
Logan Playground
The lone representative of Logan Playground, T. Queen, scored three points in taking second place behind C. Watson, of Stevens in the 25-yard breast stroke 100-pound class.
Logan will play in the horse shoes finals this Friday afternoon when Howard with Shaw will battle for the city hours in horse shoes at Walker Stadium.
Water Sports and Places
Much interest has been focused on the coming Allied Democratic Clubs, Inc., swimming meet and beauty contest to be held Monday, September 3 at the Suburban Gardens Pool. Events will include races for boys, girls, men and women with awards to winners in first, second and third places. A beauty contest has been carded for the day's program with first and second prizes to the winners.
The Allied Democratic Clubs have made this their first big athletic event of the year and hope to interest many before the season is out by having athletic events of all kinds and at all times. The meet will be under the direction of Clarence Pendleton, director of Walker Stadium. Many leading swimmers of the District of Columbia will participate in this meet. Among the stars will be the present challenger for back stroke honors, Wayman Carroll. Adolphus Essex, captain of the Walker Stadium team will enter his men in the events in the hopes of taking the meet.
Charles Pinderhughes, present holder of the interscolastic breast stroke record, will be a strong contender for honors in that event. Daniel Ellis, promising young swimmer, will be entered in the juvenile event.
Water Polo
The Walker Stadium water polo team will engage the fast Banneker Center team Friday at 6 p.m., in the Banneker Center Pool. The Walker Stadium team is making its debut and hopes to keep a good record for the winter season when outside teams will be engaged for competition here and away.
A.A.U Meets
There will be much ado until the late Saturday afternoon September 1 when both king and queen champions of the District of Columbia Champions will have been crowned. Many swimmers from away have signified their intention of entering the meet. With the local crop pretty well into condition many records should find themselves pretty deep in dust when Sunday rolls around.
Plan for Meet
Two playground teams will enter the big competition for the first time in many years. The Walker Stadium team which placed second has from the start signified its intention to enter the meet this fall. The Howard Playground champions hope to enter a strong team in the meet with the intention of taking a few of the coveted prizes offered this year.

But when he had won, Paige's record showed he had scored his third victory in five days, a record for the tournament, and had fanned 12 battles to increase his total to 44 in 28 innings.

The recent European tour of the Mills Brothers will result in a
new musical experience for American radio listeners this fall, one
which has heretofore been accorded only to phonograph record
buyers, That experience is the music of Ray Noble, who is due on
American networks in October. 2
‘Accompanying the four boys and their guitar to England and
remaining with them during their month of London engagements
was Thomas G. Rockwell, who discovered the Mills Brothers when
they were on a small Qhio station, placed them under contract
when they moved to WLW, brought ‘them to the networks next, and
has since managed them with a finesse which has kept them at
the top in defiance of prognosticators who said they were a novelty
and wouldn’t last. The Rockwell organization now represents,
among others, the Boswell Sisiers, Bing Crosby, Ruth Etting, Glen
Gray and his Casa Loma Orchestra, Claude Hopkins, and Arthur
Tracy. :

Noble Sissle Duke El!ingtor, and Cab Calloway have all taken
their entire orchestras to London for stays of varying length, but
with almost invariable success. Eight white bands have made the
voyage. >

The Beale Street Boys, harmony foursome from Memphis,
Tenn., will feature “Tt Was a Night in June” and “Riding Around

Close My Eyes to Everyone But You,” “Little Man, You've Had a
Busy Day” and “Glory.” :
This column feels duty-bound to correct a general impression
that the team of Molasses ‘n’ January is colored. Both individuals
are white—and Irish—which reminds your writer of a story that is
told about them, It goes as follows:
A waiter spilled a cup of coffee in a New York restaurant a few
years ago. And two young men at a table, until that moment total
strangers, fell into conversation over the incident. When they. got
up to leave a new blackface team of entertainers had been formed.
The diners were Pat Padgett snd Pic Malone, now well known to
NBC audiences as Pic and Pat and Molasses ‘n’ January.

Several years ago when “Fats” Waller, composer of “Ain't Misbe-
havin'” and a raft of other hits and now a featured CBS entertainer,
Was on his arduous way to success—but at the moment broke and ov
ing a week's room rent—“Fats” and his manager decided that the
quickest way out of the predicament was for “Fats” to write a song
and sell it. In less than 24 hour: the genial Waller had turned out one
of his typical rhythm numbers, and a short time later appeared, with
his manager, in a Tin Pan Alley music publisher's officer.
‘The publisher heard the number and offered an advance of $250 to
“Fats’” manager for it. “500 or nothing,” said the manager, confident
that he coll get more than the offer. Apparently he didn't know his
song publishers, fur he wes immeciately told to peddle te tune else-
where.
“Don't worry,” the manager consoled the downeast Waller. “We'll
get our price for it”
*Yeah, 1 kro.’ mourned “Fats,” “but all that lady wants is ter
bucks.” : ,

LEMUS DEFENDS ARTICLE, HITS BACK AT DAVIS
Wants to Know Where Local Man Gets Money to Finance Trips
Rienzi B. Lemus who is said to be the author of an article which appeared several weeks ago in several newspapers alleging that John P. Davis, executive of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, is using his office to embarass the present administration, publishes another attack on the Washington man this week.
In an article in The Tribune last week, Davis branded the Lemus statement as untrue and blamed Lawrence Oxley, chief of the Negro Division, Department of Labor, as the source from which Lemus got the information for the article.
Lemus in an Associated Press release this week states:
"John P. Davis of Washington, Harvard Law School, is secretary of what apparently is the 'National Committee on Joint Recovery' (recovery of the parent units of the National Committee). In a signed statement to the weekly press 'Fessor Davis denounces Lawrence Oxley, Chief Negro Division U. S. Department of Labor, in the place, using an article published by me in the Washington Tribune as the foil.
"Mr. Davis, however, was convalescent from effects of a major operation at the time of his release, and that perhaps accounts for a couple of misstatements in "On the Reasoning" and for accusing Davis of being in the pay of the Republican National Committee. I didn't. Recognize to the weekly's file will disclose that my story was my inferences of the utterances. Dr. Peek denies my inferences. I therefore stand corrected.
"Davis's other misstatement was with reference to our meeting. He wrote, we met in New York for the first time. We met in New York formally, was seated with a party in the hall all at Mr. Davis. He came over to the table, greeted them, finally addressed me saying, 'this is Mr. Lemus.' extending his hand, which grasped. On my observation that he knew me he said, 'We have met.' I was asked Mr. Oxley was present and heard the conversation.
In printing the story that Mr. Davis was requested to be in the employ of the Republic National巾业, he called a campaign 'bottle' out of NRA involved to 'the Negro' I had no malicious intent and am yet unable to see anything either unethical or unfair about Davis serving on a 7,000-mile trip and getting finance on a 7,000-mile trip and he did, for as much as the trip 'had to be made for the race, and the National Committee on Joint Recovery obviously could pay his passage seven miles from Washington to Alexandria, Va. Moreover, the young 'fessor' has not yet told who paid for that trip.
"As for Mr. Oxley: He and I are friends of long standing. Not only in his files of Labor are returns from the Secretary of Labor are returns from the short, in which I logically but bitterly opposed Oxley's coming to Washington. He wrote him that indemnities of all North Carolina labor were because they were simply advancing their man against 'Senator Copeland's Negro.' (All 'Sams.') He library in a four-page memoir of the burden of which was to the Hon. Frances Perkins that the best service Oxley could render the race would be by remaining in North Carolina, and that he would parison with my other friend Karl Philips, whom he succeeded, has been demonstrated as correct. Chief Oxley has that agreement. "But I cannot factually or logically agree that Oxley is not a fit representative of Negro labor in this or any Administration because he could not be less fitted for places other than John A. McCusker) Davis or brain trusters' just out of college."
John Payton, Youthful Local Athlete Dies
John L. Payton, youthful Treasury Department employee and well-known in local athletic circles, died at Gallinger Hospital, a victim of pneumonia, Tuesday afternoon. Payton had been ill for not more than 2 weeks. Though still in his early twenties, young Payton had become quite a figure in departmental sports. He was for several years a member of the Treasury Department baseball team and two years ago was one of the leading basketball forwards in the Government Court League. Funeral services were held Sunday from the Ruth Dabney Funeral Home, 453 O Street. Northwest. Interment was at the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery.
Surviving him are his widow,
Mrs. John L. Payton, his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. William and Mary
Payton; two sisters, Christine Taylor
and Lavene Payton; and an
aunt, Mamie L. King.
Dead at 119, Ned Morgan
Outlived Five Wives
CLEVELAND, Ohio—A plain pine box containing the remains of Ned Morgan, aged 119, was lowered, without ritual, into a grave in Potter's Field, Friday, and thus marked the end of the aged man who had lived inconspicuously for that many years.
Morgan outlived five wives. Six children, two grandchildren, three great-grand children and one great-great grandchild, the latter 14 years old, survive him.
Born on a plantation near Richmond Va., in 1815, Morgan survived two auto accidents and two strokes of apoplexy. The third stroke was the cause of his death.

D. C. DEATH RATE DOUBLES WHITES
The death rate among colored persons in the District of Columbia for the week ending August 11, nearly doubles that of the whites, according to the weekly statistical statement by Dr. William C. Fowler, health officer.
Of the total of 145 deaths during that period 62 were colored and 83 whites. The estimated population of the District, according to the Bureau of Census is 495,000 of which 137,000 are colored and 358,000 whites.
Deaths classified according to age were as follows: under one year, 12 colored, 4 whites; 1 to 4 years, 2 colored, 1 white; 5 to 19 years, 2 colored 2 whites; 20 to 69 years, 40 colored, 42 whites; over 70 years, 6 colored, 34 whites.

PAYNE SCHOOL WILL HAVE NEW HEATING PLANT
Systems at Three Other Schools to be Repaired at Cost of $15,590
Payne Elementary School, Fifteenth and C Streets, Southeast, is one of the three District schools where the installation of a new heating plant is taking place prior to the opening of schools next month, according to Jere J. Crane, first assistant sueprintendent, this week.
The antiquated hot-air heating system is being replaced with a modern steam-heating system at the school. The plants in three other school buildings are being extensively repaired. The Miner Teachers' College will get new boilers costing $6,879. The Shaw Junior High School heating plant is now altered at a cost of $4,351. The M Street heating plant for the Douglas-Simmons Elementary School and the Terrell Junior High School is being repaired at a cost of $4,360. The jobs are expected to be completed by September 15 two days before the opening of schools.
One of the major repair jobs of the summer has been the equipping of the Phelps Vocational School with the new type sight-conservation furniture. This furniture, designed by Crane primarily for use in the special sight-conservation classes at the Douglas-Simmons School building, has been successful in the relief of children with impaired eyesight and adopted as standard equipment. The Phelps Vocational School, a new structure, is the first school in the country, to be completely equipped with this sight-aid furniture.
Tells Odd Fellows to Get Out of Insurance Field
That the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows should "get out and stay out" of the insurance business was the recommendation made to delegates assembled here last week by Grand Master Edward H. Morris, of Chicago.
"You made a mistake when you permitted yourselves and order to be caught in the dust cloud of compulsory endowment and carried along to the river of depression," the grand master said. "You made a try, but you undertook to do what God himself never undertook—you tried to make men save themselves who didn't want to be saved. Voluntary endowment is all right; compulsory endowment is all wrong. If a man wants to save himself, help him; if he doesn't want endowment, let him alone. It's high time that this order got out and stayed out of business of compulsory insurance."

M. H. M.—Please tell me what is wrong with my feet. Tell me what to do for them?
Ans. The eruption on your feet is called ATHLETIC foot. You cannot expect to heal this condition unless you get a prescription from a good doctor. You have waited too long now—go immediately and have your feet looked after.
C. M. S.—Does the wife of the man I live with come around here and has she put something around this door?
Ans. This man's wife is so pleased that you have her husband off her hands she would not think of trying to cause you any trouble. As long as he lived with her she could never PLEASE him and you won't be able to please him either. Just stop trying.
R. C. F.—I have made my plans to go to college this fall but my husband has caused me considerable worry lately. Should I go or give up the idea?
Ans: Go on to college and by the time you finish your education he will have made up his mind whether it is the OTHER GIRL or yourself that he is in love with. At any rate be prepared to make your own living.
B. L. W.—Will I have any success with the article which I would like to commercialize?
Ans: You will be successful in marketing this HAIR GROWER, but you can't expect to do it over night. I advise you to distribute this product through agents to begin with and then as your business begins to increase the time will be ripe to invest more money into this project.
L. B.—Did a birth-mark cause my brother's baby to walk as she does?
Ans: No, your brother's baby is a normal child but her limbs are weak and she will soon have control of them and walk just as STRAIGHT and normal as other children. A birth-mark would have nothing to do with her step.

T. V. A.—Why can't my niece stay home and help me?
Ans.: She is only looking out for herself, and cares not how you and the other members of the family get along. If she should stay home and help she would make it miserable for all of you by her continual gripping, so forget about her.
X. S.—I wish to know if my husband will remain in the condition that he is now in for a long time?
Ans.: The condition is only a temporary one but you should insist upon him getting away for a vacation this summer. Send him on a fishing trip with your brother and he will come back in better physical condition.
M. C. T.—Will I go to school this fall or what is there for me to do?
Ans: It seems to me that a friend of yours will prevent you from going to school. I believe that the DOCTOR you are keeping company with will influence you against returning to school.
R. W. C.—Will my mother marry again?
Ans: Yes, she will find someone whom she will learn to care for and will enter matrimony again. It is nice that she does so, for she will have more enjoyment out of life with a companion than living alone. Insist that she meet people and enjoy herself.
G. B.-Will I take a trip this summer? I want to so badly.
Ans.: You will take a trip this summer and you will visit your little BOY. I don't believe that you will stay as long as you like to, but the trip will help you.

POLICE ARREST 4 AT NUDIST PARTY
(Continued from page 1)
According to testimony of Officers Eagan, Argo and Blick, the girls accepted marked money to do a dance in a private room. When the dance started the police mads known their identity and arrested the quartet.
Left Off Fans
Posing as private citizens looking for a good time the officers went to the house early in the day and inquired for a man. They were told that the man wanted would be on hand at a party that night. Returning the officers first gave one of the girls a marked $1 bill to change into nickles and insert in a mechanical musical instrument. This marked dollar was later found on Mrs. Morgan.
Later the officers asked two of the girls to do a Sally Rand without the fans. They were given two $1 bills to do this dance. All went into a private room where the affair was to be staged, but hardly had it gotten under way before the cops took the play away from the girls and the next act was staged at a police precinct station.
Were Former Actresses
The girls, former actresses, denied they did the dance in the nude, but insisted that they wore flimsy affairs over tights. They also claimed they had on shoes and stockings.
The three girls were represented by Attorney Henry A. Brown, while Attorney Denny Hughes, white, appeared for Mrs. Morgan. Lawyers intimated after the verdict that they would file a motion for a new trial.

This week, in a letter to the editor of the Daily News, Mr. Howard demonstrates the rare finesse he employs to keep at peace at home with his own faction of Republicans and the white Democrats. It has been reported that Mr. Howard's been reported that Mr. Howard's influence was being used iniquitously as between two Democrats in the Seventh district, but the national committeeman, in effect advises them to go along minding their own business, as he is his, and to please don't mention his name.

"In a recent issue of your paper, there appeared an article from the pen of Congressman Ellzey which charged that I, together with some others, have attempted to influence the Democratic primary campaign that is being waged in the Seventh congressional district.
"This does me a very grave injustice.
"Please say to the good people of Mississippi that I do not know either Mr. Ellzey or Mr. Cloon; that I have never seen either to know them; that I have not even commented in private conversation on the said campaign; that I had nothing to do with Mr. Cloon's appointment as postmaster; that I did not make recommendations under the Hoover administration; that I know nothing whatsoever about the controversy between these two gentlemen and I am strictly minding my own business.
"All Mississippiians know that I am a Republican; that I have never at any time meddled in Democratic affairs; that I have never had any controversy with any Democrats at home and I thought that I was at peace with all as much as I am with the Baptist church, and I think it a grave injustice to drag my name into any political contro-

Mr. Howard also tells of his perfecting of a norganization known as "The Foundation for Inter-racial Good Will," and remarks that he is never so happy as when he is doing or saying something that makes for peace and good will among the races.
Editor Defends Howard
"Perry Howard, leader of the Daily News, was evidently touched by Mr. Howard's suave and polite letter, for he commented editorially:
"Perry Howard, leader of the Negro Republicans in Mississippi, now practicing law in Washington, says he isn't meddling in the Mississippi primary; that he is not for or against anybody in the pending contests. That is absolutely true.
"In the first place, Howard has too much sense to do anything of that sort. Second, his influence would not change any votes, for it is to be a white Democratic primary. Let's leave Howard out of it. He is still the Republican national committieeman for Mississippi but has no part in Democratic affairs."

Wylie, 1331 Ninth Street, Northwest, was hailed after a coroner's jury, Tuesday morning and ordered held in connection with the fatal shooting, Sunday night, of Mattie McLelland, his alleged common-law wife.

His arrest of Wylie brought to an end a police lookout for the man, which had been kept up since he shot Mrs. McLelland fatally on the street at the corner of Eighth and M Streets, Northwest. The shooting, according to testimony introduced at the coroner's inquest followed an argument between the man and woman. Police held that it was unprovoked although they were advised that there were no eye-witnesses to the affair.
Wylie told officers at headquarters who placed him on the grill just prior to the coroner's inquiry, that he had the gun on him because he had just redeemed it from a "pawn" to a friend at 1143 Eighth Street, Northwest, where they had been visiting and had left just before the argument. The friend, however, denied that he had ever seen the gun.
Another story as to the ownership of the revolver was investigated by headquarters detectives and this too was found to be false.

News Notes <——s
“Probably there is no QUERY ee eee
than the courage which dares to confess it.”
Due to a volume of mail coming into the column, of a political na-
ture, I feel duty bound to endeavor to impress upon the minds of Federal
Employees of color the danger that lies in political activity. With the
435 congressional districts opening up the first of September, many
may be tempted to reach for higher things through political endeavor,
whicl action may result in serious trouble.
Classified employees, while at work. or on leave, are forbidden to
serve on committees, act as officials of political clubs, assist in prepar-
fest offensive activity at the polls. However, political appointees are
allowed “to take such part in political campaigns as is taken by any
private citizen,” except as forbidder. by depatmental regulations.
In the instruction to federal appointees appears an article as fol-
lows: ;
“Competitive employees while retaining the right to vote and to
press orivately their opinions on political subjects, are forbidden to take
an ac #2 part in political management or in political campaigns. This
‘also applies to temporary employees, employees on leave of absence
with or without pay, substitutes, and laborers. Political activity in
city, country, state, or national elections, whether primary or regular,
or in behalf of any party candidate, or any measure to be voted upon
is prohibited.” "Tis true that the country is more political-minde:| now
than ever before, but it is best that Federal employees restrict their po-
litieal activities to debates in barber shops and lunch rooms where politi-
cal chatter goes in one ear of the debaters and out of the other. leaving
no impression.

The printing of bonds for the Home Owners Loan Corporation and
the Farm Moriage Corporation will result in many finding employment.
Millions of these bonds and checks of postal savings certificates and
liquor stamps are veing turned out by the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing monthly due to the increasing popularity of these corporations
which will.resuit in many addit‘onal employeers being put on, and the
reducing of some of the regular employees’ furlough, Some of the posi-
tions being filled in this bureau include printers’ assistants and opera-
ie Oe oemene,
‘The Federation of Federal Employees is pushing forward with its
drive to do away with the check payment system now in force. | They
contend that workers are not actually paid until the chécks are cashed
and that the Government is putting a portion of its administrative dut-
ies onto banks and businesses. I know that we all have at some time
been seriously inconvemenced by the check system, and would be glad
to have it done away with.

Music Lovers Walk out
on All-Negro Symphony
By Fay M. Jackson
LOS ANGELES—Twenty thou-
sand select music lovers, motion
picture celebrities and race-loving
patrons walked out on the Negro
Symphony presented last week in
Hollywood as a ‘joint creation of
David Brookman and Clarence
Muse.
Titled, “Harlem Hoa’in” the
piece proved to be a light steal
rpm every musical score from
the Star Spangled Banner to Ra-
vel’s “Bolero” with intervals of
Gershwin and copious bronx cheers
thrown in to thoroughly “moder-
nize” the conglomeration of cur-
ious instrumentations and.
casional belly grunts that made
up the musical oddity.
Three hundred colored singers
were paraded on the stage, robed
in white. Right here, I panse
to wonder why Negro singers al-
ways have to he robed in white to
warble their simple _ melodies.
George Garner is said to have
trained the choir and it is a fact
‘that the group has done com-
pmendable work on other occasions.
But, “Harlem Hoa'n's” s0-clled
Bantu dialect and Broockman's
melodic antics proved too muck
for them and most of them frank-
iy gave it up. Clarence Muse
took solo parts in a movement
called “De Reefer Weed".

CROWDS LIBERIA
LONDON, England (ANP)—Li-
beria’s refusal to accept the Plan
of Assistance drawn up by the
special committee appointed by the
Council of the League of Nations,
evoked a lengthy and pointed dis-
patch on the subject from Great
Britain's Foreign Office to its diplo-
matic representative at Washing-

to the United States Government a
note on the lines of the preceding
paragraphs.”
Obviously deeply chagrined over

tions and Geneva's three years of
effort to provide the republic with
an acceptable reconstruction pro-

‘The opening of the Industrial Bank

past in which we stated that the bank
‘was not only needed but would be sup-

his associates.

Bhoukd not be questioned. The bank is

pte ?n fhe United States,
There were several things that stood
im bast Friday’s pugilistic fight at
Eris Stadium. The thing that de-
ded the greatest attention was the
fact that only one colored official was
‘used by the local boxing commission.
He was referee Truatt, who was the
third man in the ring during the pre-
Jaminaries.
The commission refused to select a
‘Negro referee to officiate in the main
bout between Chocolate and Sarilla de-
spite the fact there are three men here
‘as well qualified as Kid Sullivan, white,
who was named on the day of the fight.
Where were no colored deputies al-
‘though the fight was promoted entirely
by colored persons and was the biggest
ever staged here.
Arthur Green and Al Jones, as well
as Truatt, are well qualified referees
having successfully passed the exami-
nation—the same test that Sullivan did.
Since colored men are not permitted to
referee white bouts due to segregation
foreed on them by whites, it stands to
reason that Negroes should be permit-
ted to officiate at their own shows.
Another thing, Negro promoters of
big events can’t count on their “good
white friends from downtown” for sup-
“port.
The crowd at the stadium was over
jseven-eigths colored despite the fact
there was considerable talk of the
““lange crowd of whites” that was ex-
“pected to attend. Negro ringside seat
holders were three times the number of
“whites, the boxes were predominantly
occupied by colored and of course the
- lower priced seats were practically all
. taken by Negroes. The old saying that
‘Langston Hughes on“Cowards”

we take issue with his judgment.
I believe in “free speech”; that is
why I am speaking ffeely.
Ont of His Element
In the first piace: is not Langs-
ton Hughes somewhat out of his
element when he criticizes churches
and moral codes? He has no posi-
tive relation to either religion or
morals to fit him for a sympathe-
tie understanding of them, It is a8
if an atheist should preseribe for
@ Catholic mass, or as if a person
or moral “neutral gender” should
assume to formulate moral rules
for a co-educational institution.
Frankly, neither Langston Hugh-
e's ideals nor his associates have
trained him for a judgeship over
religion and morals... ,
_ ‘There is some truth in Hughes's
article. There is some truth in
“The Kiensman” and in “The Birth
of Nation”, but their total effect
is 4 falsehood and a great libel,—
which is also the trouble with

ic will rally to attractions of a high

Kelly Miller Says
~~ PURE NEW DEAL -
‘There is anly one program of action betore
the nation as it faces the approaching cam-
paign, and that is the New Deel.
‘When President Roosevelt was inaugurated,
She Republican proposal for dealing with the
spression had been overwhelmingly rejected
‘the electorate, beyond hope of resurrection.
Democratic ‘platform was illy suited to
le with the emergency. The country was
mnted with a condition, and not by a theo-
ry. The nation was in the trough of the depres-
sion.
The banks were closed, factories had been shut
down, labor was unemployed, the people were
on the verge of starvation. ‘In the language
of President Roosevelt, the situation called for
“action” and “Action now.”
With a courage unparalleled in our history,
the President devised, ax if out of hand, a pro-
gram of action to meet the emergency. Its
provisions were in harmony with the broader
scope and purpose of the New Deal. ‘The na-
tion adopted Mr. Roosevelt’s proposal and fell
in behind him with a unanimity never before
witnessed in peace times.
The program was frankly experimental.
Constructive and corrective criticism was in-
vited. Al! hastily improvised measures to meet
an emergency will needs be wasteful. Dur-
ing the World War, the nation spent billions
of dollars which turned out to be pure waste.
But short human foresight could do no better.
And so it, of necessity, must be with many of
the features of Mr. Roosevelt's emergency pro-
gram,
REPUBLICANS TEMPORARILY
KEEP IN STEP
‘The Republican party, overwhelmingly de-
feated in the last election, fell in with the
Roosevelt program with as good grace as it
could until time of the '36 election approached.
Then it launched into merciless critizism, not
with the intent and purpose of perfecting the
New Deal, but of destroying it!
The Grand Old Party does not want the New
Deal to succeed for fear it (The G.O.P.) would
be put permanently out of commission. It
would eliminate the New Deal, not by com-
parison or substitution, but by destruction.
‘The Republican Party in the heyday of its
power and glory, was undoubtedly the greatest
and most efficient political organization in the
history of American polities. Its two great
motivating principles were founded upon hu-
man rights and the protective tariff. By its
own apostacy, it hag discarded the former
Party purged ‘the nation of the foul stain of
while the economic advancement of the world
at large has outmoded the latter—while moti.
vated by these great principles, the Grand Old
slavery,‘ reunited the States, humanized the
Constitution, developed the resources of the
continent and put the nation on the road tc
prosperity which made it the richest country
on the face of the earth.
"The party also developed » personnel con
‘sisting of legislators, diplomats and statesmer
‘with whese expertness and efficiency no othe
Party can compete or compare. With sucl
‘4 record and such equipment one would natural,
ly expect the nation to look to the Republicar
Party for leadership in any crisis that migh
in the colleges, just as there are’
cowaxds among poets and artists;
but there are brave and normal
people in both groups.
| We beve insisted and do still
insist that Langston Hughes has
the right to espouse the cause and
to defend the tactics of the com-
munists; but it is bad judgment
‘and poor tact for him to classify
as fools all the other ‘Negroes who
do not choose to follow the poet
in that particular.
For example, he criticizes Tuske-
gee Institute for doing something
about which the institute hed no
choice whatever: for allowing the
police of Alabama to take from
the school’s hospital a wounded Ne-
gro who was arrested for partici-
pation in a riot. It was neither
the institute’s business nor privi-
lege nor power to settle the ques-
tion in that instant as to whether
this Negro was going to get justice
from the state.
The school is trying to influence
Alabama to obey its own laws in
respect to colored people, and
therefore the institution would have
stultified itself by disobeying the
law and becoming an accessory
after the fact of any crime. Be-
sides, the state would have taker
the prisoner, whatever Tuskegee
Institute did about it.
H I had been an officer of the
state I would have taken the
prisoner and all of those who op-
posed me jn taking him. Of course
if the Negro had been in the hands
of communists, they would alse
have surrendered him, but niet
they had perhaps pe ‘the
lice to attack them. st might

on Gee prion.
LOST ITS CUNNING -
But, alas, how has the mighty fallen. The
Grand Old Party has lost its strength and cun-
ning. It now pathetically faces the electorate
without political principles, practical program
or sagacious policy, Deprived of the secret
of its pristine glory and grandeur, one is re-
‘minded of Samson with his hair cut. The
sharpened blade has nothing to cut but con-
tents itself with whittling off shavings from
Roosevelt's New Deal.
‘We have been accustomed to look to the Re-
publican Party for great constructive mea-
sures for the welfare of the nation. It used to
be said that the Republican Party proposes,
God dispozes; while the Democratic Party op-
poses. The great Republican leaders used to
chide their opponents with the taunt that they
could criticise but could not construct, can con-
demn but could not create. But the roles seem
to have been reversed. The creative, construc-
tive genius of the Grand Old Party seems to
have shifted to its Democratic rival. Whatever
residue the party may still claim to possess is
now but a frozen asset.
LEADERSHIP IS ALWAYS
WITH THE WINNER
Of course, the party in power has always the
advantage of leadership and initiative, Correc-
tive criticism is the prerogative of the minority
party. But no one ever supposed that the
Party of Lincoln, Grant and Theodore Roose-
velt would ever so decline in resourcefulness
that it would be content to face an electorate
without any positive principles of its own, but
would slothfully content itself with picking out
party faults in the constructive program of its
ment,
eis nct too late to hope that the G.0.P. will
yet assume its political courage and construc-
tive sagacity,
‘The American people need the stimulus of
two platforms of rival parties of comparative
and competitive merit. If the New Deal is not
adequate to meet the demands of the times, let
che rival party bring forth its own Deal and
vindicate its superior claims. But as the mat-
ver now stands partiotic Amercians must stand
with Roosevelt and the New Deal, in default of
another ‘kind of deal which promises better
ings,

‘The attention of the Tuesday Evening Club

effort, the active interest and support of the
‘members of the Interracial Committee of the
Council of Social Agencies was aroused and

ness.
That is one incurable fault of
the communists: they are thorough-
ly unsportsmanlike, in that they
expect every other organization to
assist at grinding their axes and
in pulling their chestnuts out of the
fire. ‘
Protests Ought Not Be Empty
With the same deep lack of un-
derstanding, Hughes also classifies
the southern Negro teachers and
sosers as “cowards” because
they did not stage # lot of loud
and showy protests on the Scotts-
‘boro Cases. That is the arrogance
‘of poetic ignorance: the only sané
motive for any protest meeting,
or for any other meeting, js that
there can be a reasonable expecta-
tion, or at least a hope, that it will
do more good than harm.
‘The people immediately concern-
ed must always be the judges as
to whether any given protest meet-
ing or method will do more good
than harm, and the Negroes of any
given southern community are
much better judges of that than
any visitor like Langston Hughes
could be.
‘The southern Negro often seeks
other, ae effective ways of
reaching end which he desires,
Many of these educators have been
working in behalf of those nine
oe ever since they have been in
jail. They cannot publish what
they do, for they are not living in
Harlem or California, and most
of them just have too much sense
to tell Langston Hughes and the
communists about what they do,
Whatever may be ultimately
achieved in behalf of those boys
will be largely due to the unad-
vertised work of white and black
men of the south,
‘When in 1931 those cases were

Hughes, was going to take the nex!

It was not nearly as brave of me tc
say what I said, as it was for
‘them to sit and listen to it, They
knew me: and therefore they had
exercised more courage in prepar-
ing meetings for me to address
than I had to exercise in address-
ing those meetings.
They are courageous almost to
the point of foolhardiness, when
they welcome to their platforms
‘those outsiders who come among
them with their supercilious airs
and their profound ignorance of
local conditions.
Some Can Protest and Run
It would have been easy for
Langston Hughes ‘to hold a pro-
test meeting on some college cam-
pus and then leave on the next
train, He seems to think the local
colored people to be cowards be-
cause they do not always protest
publicly, immediately, ostentatious-
ly and on the spot, against every
wrong thing they ‘encounter. But
even a fly-by-night knight like
Langston Hughes when on a trip
through the south, does not do a
foolish thing like that.
When Langston saw a railroad
station in the south, he did not
‘walk directly up to the ticket win-
dow marked “for whites” and de-
mand to buy his ticket at the win-
dow, If he had done so, he would
not upon refusal have called a
“protest” meeting on the spot. If
he traveled on any southern train,
he did not go into the car for
whites and insisted upon staying
or being taken out by force. When
he saw a soda fountain, where
colored people were not served, he
did not demand service, summon
a policeman, go to the mat and
raise a riot at once.
He did none of these things,—
not because he is not brave, but
because he is not always a fool.
Certain protests under certain con-
ditions may be much worse than
useless,—may even be useful to
the enemy. Even a protest must be
considered as to time, place and
opportunity,
Theard and saw Booker T. Wash-
ington make a protest. In Birming-
ham, Ala., when visiting one of
the largest banks, he saw on an
elevator: “For ' Negroes and
Freight”. He did not storm into the
president's office and “demand” its
immediate removal. But that
night I introduced him to an au-
dience of the most intelligent black
and white people of the city and
the state in local theatre,
He told the story of his visit
to the bank of the insulting and un-
necessary sign, and ‘of how he felt
at seeing it. It was the white part
of the audience that did the quak-
ing on this occasion, ‘The next
morning the bank received scores
of telephone calls from its best
clients, demanding the removal of
that barbarous sign.
The” sign was removed before
noon, and Washington received
telephone calls from some of the
chief officers of the bank. practi-
cally apologizing for the useless
insult, and pleading their ignorance
that the sign had been posted.
*But,” say Langston and_ the
communist, “if he had raised a
great fuss about it perhaps it
would have caused similar signs to
be taken down elsewhere”. But on
the other hand, such a course might
have kept that sign up and caused
others to go up. ;
Another Washington Protest
At another time Washington was
making a speaking tour through
the Carolinas occampanied by a
pullman car load of the leading
colored men of the country. Wher
they stopped at a small town anc
asked the almost empty statior
dining-room to prepare meals fo
them, the food was prepared, bu
tre food and tablecloths and ‘nap
kins and dishes were all brough
out into the sunshine and spread
ed out on the railroad tracks, fo
Washington and his party to squa
vlown and eat.
Does Langston Hughes suppos
that Booker Washington was |
coward because he did not stag
a protest meeting on the spot an
fmarch back into that dining-roor
and let the head waiter and th
{cooks know just how much he re

Hughes's Inferiority ‘Complex
Now, let me adopt the Hughes
method for a moment and tell him
how to run some of his own busi-
ness: in his article telling about
the “cowards” whom he has met,
he tells how he went to call on
Newbold, the white man who is in
charge of eolored public schools in
North Carolina; of how Newbold’s
secretary, an employe, ignored him
when he entered her office, refus-
ing to ask him even the usual dis-
courteous question of “What do you
want?” and of how he resented the
petty insult of this insignificant
employe and walked dut.—and
never saw Newbold,
Langston, that was not exactly
the most effective way to act: you
did not give yourself a fair chance,
and you gave no chance at all to
Newbold, who no doubt would have
been glad to see you and to repri-
mand his hired help. But you put
yourself too much on a level with
the hireling white girl by show-
ing such resentment at her failure
to recognize you.
A really “big” man, who did not
feel so dependent upon recognition
by anybody, would not have allowed
himself to be defeated of his main
purpose by such a person, I can
imagine Washington or Moton or
James Johnson, and a lot of other
people, ignoring the attitude of
that white girl and telling her what
they wanted: “I am here to, see
Mr. Newbold, Kindly tell him that
Mr. is calling, and give
him my card.”
Do you get what I mean?
T remember calling to s00 a great
merchant in a New York hotel. The
servants were refusing to take me
up in the guest elevators; I was
refusing to go up in the service
elevators. I did not turn and run
before them: I demanded telephone
connection with the merchant, and
in a few minutes I had my business
with D. Stuart Dodge. He was a
bit chagrined. I was not. I cared
not a fig for the underlings, ex-
cept that they were a temporary
annoyance to me. I could not flat
ter them by “insulting them back.”
Again I went to call on Clarence
Darrow at the Belmont Hotel. The
servants tried to tactfully steer me
to the service elevator. I told them
in even but unmistakable tones that
I was not a servant nor calling on
servants, but was there to see a
guest of the hotel and would be
treated only as a guest, adding: “If
you perfer, you may put me on the
wire to Mr. Darrow’s room, and
I'll explain to him the situation and
let him come down to see me.”
I need not tell the rest of the
story: in his room, Darrow and his
wife and I used the incident as an
illustration of the things we wanted
to discuss. We had many other
illustrations,
Real courage, Langston, is not
insult for insult, nor an impotent
peevishness. Those poor human
qualities may be the heralds or the
apologists for defeat.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
Says Intervention Brought
Political Stability to Haiti
Pony ANUEL R. ROQUE | Fiscal Agents Named by
President | Roosevelt’s foreign
policy of “the good neighbor,”
enunciated long before he consider-
ed the presidency, is already hav-
ing its saultatory effect on our sis.
ter republics along the Caribbean
In the case of Haiti, which this
week will mark another significant
milestone in its history, with the
withdrawal of American armed
forces, from the island, the Admin-
istration may well point out with
pride at its accomplishment down
there as exhibit “A” on the New
Deal’s shelf of international amity
and good-will.
Long before President Roosevelt
came to Washington he showed a
great deal of interest in those
countries below the Tropic of Can-
cer, in which internation! “rugged
individualism” was unquestionably
usurping the rights of nationals
and the perogative of a people to
say who should and who should not
dictate and regulate their life with-
in their own borders, .
Sovereignty of Other
Nations Should Be Respected
It was while still Governor of
New York that Mr. Roosevelt said:
“The time has come when we must
accept not only certain facts, but
many principles of a higher law, a
newer and better standard in inter-
national relations. We sre. exesei
ingly zealous of our sovereignt
and it E only right that we should
respect a similar feeling among
other nations. The people of the
other republics of this western
world are just as patriotic, just as
proud of their sovereignty. Neither
from argument of financial gain,
nor from the sounder reasoning of
the Golden Rule, can our policy, or
lack of policy, be approved.”
And now, the policy of Mr. Roose-
velt enunciated has taken hold. For
he left no doubt, no loopholes as
to what his intentions would be if
he were placed in a position to
remedy conditions which the world
had begun to consider undemocrat-
ic and unbecoming a nation that
had won its spurs fighting the very
things that it was being accused of
committing,
Haiti, in particular, which has
seen almost a quarter of a cen-
tury of outside dominance, has had
the good fortune of meeting with a
man of President Roosevelt’s ex-
traordinary caliber, who believes
that a nation like an individual,
must have due protection from
encroachments, however expedient
they may seem from whatever pol-
icy or lack of it,
Pauses to Take Stock
of Neighbor's Plight
It would seem, therefore, that
the Administration, which in this
case spells President Roosevelt's
New Deal applied to international
affairs, has shown a high degree
of understanding of what consti-
tutes friendly international ¢o-
operation and good-will. And at
the moment this is made doubly
significant by the fact that the
Administration has paused long
enough from its huge recovery pro-
gram to take stock of another na-
tion’s plight.
The New Deal showed its head
in the Caribbean on August 7, 1933.
searcely five months after Presi-
dent Roosevelt had taken the oath
of office, Apparently his words of
1928 were as fresh in his mind as
when he first spoke them, for an
agreement was made at this time
which gave the Haitians a pleasant
jolt, It was agreed then that the
Marines would be withdrawn after
a speical date, while at the same
time a Treaty of Friendship was
effected which provided for the re-
vamping of the existing relations
between the two counties. Until
then the affairs of the island had
been administered by American
fiseal and military agents on the
island, while it was admitted by
both sides that the presence of the
Marine Brigade gave the people of
Haiti a feeling of helplessness and
inferiority. + ;
ed every employer in industry and
trade to enter into an agreement
with him. It was an appeal to
“opinion and conscience.” ‘The
President’s Reemployment Agree-
ment was a device to speed up par-
ticipations in the NRA program.
Tt was to be in effect until De-
cember 31, 1983, or until a code of
fair competition was adopted. Lat-
er the period was extended to
April 30, 1934, and still later the
President's Reemployment Agee-
ment was extended for all indus-
tries in which no code of fair com-
petition had been approved by April
30, 1934, until the time that a code
is ‘approved for that industry.
Cooperators are given the Blue
Eagle, which is the symbol of co-
operation for industry and_trade.
Consumers also receive it, if they
signify their intention of participa-
tion by support of Blue Eagle es-
tablishments. A Blue Eagle Divi-
sion was set up in the National
Recovery Administration.
The main points in this agree-
ment were the elimination of child
labor; the establishment of a 35-
hour ‘week for industrial workers
and a 40-hour week for office or
clerical workers; minimum wages
ranging between $12 to $15 weekly,
and between 30 cents to 40 cents
an hour, according to size of city;
'& promise to limit price increases
to amounts necessary because of
increased production cost; a pledge
‘to support other cooperators in the
movement. These were voluntary
agreements, and should be distin-
guished from the codes of fair com-
petition. The whole effort was re-
garded as a temporary one in order
Fiscal Agents Named by
President of Haiti
Practically all this was removed
by the treaty with the exception of
the fiscal management of the is-
land. But even then the Haitians
would have the advantage, as th.
by the President of Haiti ‘and not
fiscal agents would be appointed
by the United States as was the
case before,
Until President Roosevelt took a
hand in the affairs of Haiti, there
was a prevalent belief that the
presence of the Marines on the is-
land was an encroachment on the
rights of a sister republic and that
it was, to say the least, “An un-
provoked deed of unwarranted and
aggressive imperialism.’
‘As a result of this belief, there
was, for many years, a great deal
of apathy of Latin-American peo-
ple for America. They had begun
to brand the United States as the
“Colossus from the North,” and
with Marines in Haiti and Nicara-
gua, the situation did not lend it-
self to anything but approbium
and critical ridicule,
Just what caused the United
|States to send Marines to Haiti in
1915 has been a bone of contention
among international observers. One
theury is that they were sent there
to protect American investments on
the island whie the other is that
they were sent down there to pre-
serve American neutrality during
‘the great war, as it was said that
Germany had designs on the island
as a convenient outpost from where
she could continua to carry out
her program of submarine warfare,
As to the charge that Marines were
sent down there to provect Ameri-
can javestors, critics” point out to
the manouvers of American bank-
ing interests on the island.
Democrats Sent
Myrines to Country
However, politically speaking, it
must be noted that it was a Demo-
cratic administration which first
sent the Marines down there, and
that now a Democratic administra
tion has risen to the occasion and
erased whatever stigma interna-
tionalists, and critics attached to
American intervention.
And politically, too it should be
noted that nothing was done to
remedy the situation during twelve
years of Republican rule. With
their laissez-faire policy of “do
nothing,” the Republicans closed
their ears to the many protesta-
tions, and all they did was to send
a few commissions to “study” con-
ditions on the island. Somehow
the attitude of the Republicans was
that the child belonged to the Dem-
ocrats and that it was for the Dem-
ocrats to take it home with them
when, and if, they ever had the op-
portunity. “And the opportunity
did come, and. despite all criticism,
even Haifians are aprecing that the
country is better off today for hav-
ing experienced what many have
termed a “national affront.”
Country Better Off,
Says Mr. Roque
For one thing, America’s presence
on the island left g beneficial im-
print. Even the most critical ob-
server will agree that the people
are better off today than they were
twenty years ago. Intervention
brought to the island both political
stability and economic security,
Roads have been built; the edu-
cational system has been modern-
ized; the military has been re-
organized and disciplined; hospital-
ization and sanitation have been
improved; and the intelligent use
of the ballot has supplanted the
knife and dagger.
In other words, the imprint left
by the Americans may well be tak-
en as pointing the way for a safer,
saner and happier living among the
Haitian people. and for a greater
degree of understanding in their
interchange with other nations of
people. As President Roosevelt
said in his visit to the island last
month, “The Republic can look for-
ward to the future with the great-
est confidencé,”
to tide over the period of code mak-
ing.
Numerous exceptions, known as
substitutions, were made for cer-
tain industries by the NRA Policy
Board in order to prevent. hard-
ships. Local voluntary compliance
boards functioned as adjustment
agencies, but had no final jurisdic-
tion in any cases they handled. In
cases of failure to observe the
agreement, Blue Eagles were with-
drawn by the complaint section of
the Blue Eagle Division of the
NRA (later the Compliance Divi-
sion).
The program helped to inform
the public about NRA aims and
methods. The Blue Eagle is serv-
ing a useful function and has made
a place for itself in America in-
dustry. Individual Blue Eagles are
now prepared for the use of mem-
bers of particular trades and indus.
tries operating under approved
codes of fair competition,
Such insignia, in addition to
identifying the code under which it
is issued, bears a number identify-
ing the firm, corporation, or indi-
vidual entitled to display it. As
ith the PRA Blue Eagle, this in-
vidual Blue Eagle is the proper-
ty of the United States and wil be
removed by NRA for infraction of
the code.

Society Went Puglistic
Minded Last Week
Nearly every activity whether it be religious, educational, fratern-
al, sporting or what not has its social side and in this cosmopolitan age
when youth associates with age, when the religious fanatics rub shoul-
ders with the sporting element, when the college student js the daily
associate of his less educated brother we never hesitate to go and en-
joy an event which is worthwhile and a source of pleasure.
So it was with the interesting boxing contest staged at Griffith
Stadium by the Lincoln Athletic Association with Dr. W. A. Goodloe,
Ernest Jarvis, John Carter and M. M. Harris when Kid Chocolate met
Andre Sarilla, last Friday evening, Everybody was there. Fully
seven or eight thousand people supported the event.
The grandstand as well as the rink-side was crowded with specta-
tors of both races and women as well as men were very much in evi-
lence.
The ring-side, lighted of course with very bright lights in contrast
to the grandstands which was darkened in order that the boxing plat-
form might stand out, was filled with many of the prominent men of
the community and.their wives, the’ officers of the boxing commission,
many members of the Cuban Legation ete.
A very colorful sight was presented and the ladies in attractive
sport costumes added that touch of feminine lovliness and enthusiasm
which could not have been gotten otherwise.
Women of today can talk about and enjoy an event of this kind
as much as the men, This fact was evidenct by their yells and cheers
from time to time.
After the contest was over many of the spectators crowded various
rendezvous where spicy entertainment was scheduled to complete the
evening’s pleasure,
A reception was tendered Kid Chocolate at the Chalcedony Inn the
next evening (Saturday) from 4 to 12 p.m. A very large crowd was
present. A delicious repast was served all of the guests, -
‘The committee in charge was Henry W. Greene, Shep Allen, Rufus
Byars, John W. Carter, W. A. Goodloe, Percival Hamilton, Leo Wil-
liams, George E. C. Hayes, Williams E, Taylor, W. Ernest Jarvis,
Franklyn A. Owens, William J. Thompson and J. Finley Wilson,
tention of hundreds of people, was
the excellently managed Beauty
Contest at Carr's Beach on last
Sunday promoted by Alonzo Col-
lins and “Freck” Boone. The af-
fair had been scheduled for the pre-
ious Sunday but due to the rainy
weather was’ postponed a week.
Every detail had been previously
arranged and a reviewing stand
profusely decorated had been erect-
ed specially for this event. The
entrants parade with their attrac-
tive bathing suits brought many
cheers from the spectators. The
contest was very close with Miss
Doris Brown of Washington win-
ning first place and Mrs. Gertrude

LUNCEFORD BAND SIGNED FOR CHI- REGAL THEATRE
NEW YORK — Jimmie Lanceford and his orchestra, recently signed under the management of the Columbia Artists Bureau, have been booked to play the Regal Theatre, Chicago, the week of October.
Lanceford, who is widely acclaimed as the "New King of Syncapation," is director of one of the most popular colored orchestras on the radio today. His band succeeded Cab Calloway's at the famous Cotton in Harlem early in 1934, and was heard on the air waves twice weekly from that rendezvous. Lanceford and his band of rhythm makers recently completed a road tour through the Middle West, and it was because of the enthusiastic response accorded his music during that trip that Columbia Artists Bureau signed him up upon his return to New York.
Lanceford is a graduate of Fisk University, where he was a four letter man in athletics. Here, too, he began his musical career, first learning the guitar and subsequently taking up the study of the saxophone, the clarinet, the trombone and the flute. Elaborate plans are in the making to present Lanceford and his group of versatile musicians under the Columbia banner.

SOUTHERNAIRES TO SING FOR BAB-O SURPRISE PARTY
NEW YORK — The Southernaires quartet, famous NBC Negro vocal harmony group, noted from coast-to-coast for their distinctive renditions of the songs of their race, will be Little Miss Babo's guests at the Sunrise Party broadcast over an NBC-WEAF network on Sunday, August 26 at 2:30 p.m. E. S. T.
The Southernaires, who will contribute Negro spirituals and popular songs to the program, went on the air four years ago after they had won a tremendous following among their own people with their harmonizations of the songs of the old Southland. Previously they had spent much time in research, collecting and arranging music which had been sung during slave days and subsequently forgotten by all but a few of the older Negroes.
Composed of William Edmondson, Homer Smith, Jay S. Toney and Lowell Peters, the group has become one of radio's most popular vocal ensembles. In addition to their microphone work they have one of the most sought after quartets for private and social affairs. The Southernaires will share time at the broadcast with Little Miss Bab-O (Mary Small), the child singer, who will offer several popular songs, and William Wirges' Orchestra.
BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE
LAUGH AND BE BEAUTIFUL
Strange as it seems the woman who laughs often is never without beauty. There is something so pleasing in the expression of one who laughs much. The corners of the mouth turn upward and the eyes sparkle making the plainest face attractive and appealing. Sit before the mirror and watch the effect of your laugh on your features and you will be convinced that laughter goes far toward making you more beautiful.
TOMATO SALAD LOAF
Fill shallow loaf pan one-third full of tomato aspic. Place in chiller. Soak 1 teaspoon gelatine in 2 tablespoons cold water and dissolve over boiling water. Add to 1 cup of mayonnaise mixed with 12 olives. Spread this over firm layer of tomatoes in the pan. When set cover with remaining tomato mixture and place in cabinet until ready to serve. Unmold on salad plate and surround with lettuce hearts. No extra salad dressing is necessary.

MISCELLANEOUS RECIPES THAT HIS MAJESTY WILL BE PLEASED WITH
COMPILED BY GERTRUDE C. FRAZIER
Rice Recipes
Here are three recipes that you should put in your recipe scrapbook:
Mix and sift the dry ingredients combine them with the rice carefully, add the milk, egg yolks, well-beaten, butter, and the stiffly-beaten egg whites. Cook the same as for other waffles. Serve with maple syrup or honey.
½ cup rice
1 stalk of celery
1 small onion
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon pepper
3 cups chicken broth
3 cups water or milk
½ cup minced chicken
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
Toasted Rice Biscuit
Substitute a cupful of boiled rice,
that is flaky and dry, for half a
cupful of flour in your baking pow-
der biscuit recipe. Bake as usual
and when cold split apart with a
fork as this gives a rough surface
that toasts more deliciously than a
smooth one which cutting with a
knife would give.
Wash the rice and cook slowly in the chicken broth and water or milk. As soon as the mixture reaches the boiling point, add the onion and celery. Cook the ingredients until tender. Remove the onion and celery, add the minced chicken, butter and seasoning and cook ten minutes longer. This will make five or six average servings.
Toast these until as brown as a summer at the beach and then, forgetting the calories and the grocery bill, butter them lavishly and serve both them and the shrimps sizzling hot.

CONVENTION
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Dr.
George Bowles, of York Pa., chair-
man of the advisory board of the
National Negro Health Movement,
declared in an address at the
meeting Wednesday night of the
National Medical Association con-
vention at Meharry Medical Col-
lage, that “A. very definite respon-
lity “devolves upon the Negro
race to work against the 3 to 1
death rate of the members of the
race from tuberculosis, as compar-
ed to deaths among the white race
from the disease. He continues:
“The tuberculosis death rate
should and must demand our
‘most serious thought and while
to a large measure we are not
wholly responsible, neverthe-
Jess there devolves upon us a
very serious, definite respon-
‘sibility and we cannot evade
¥ts. consequences.
sree uree mate ealth veoh
blems.of the American Negro
can be classified in. three
groups—tuberculosis, venereal
diseases, maternal and infant
mortality.”
When he referrea to the need of
the race as a whole to’ unite and
fight the disease of syphilis, Dr.
Bowles said that “not in the an-
nals of medicine, not in the history
of society, not in-all the travels of
human disease, is: there as much
unwarranted public reticence and
prudery. in the enlightenment of
the public as to the true origin
prevention and cure of a terrible
human scourge, that is daily” ex-
hibited in the false modesty, the
veil of secrecy that is thrown
around’ venereal ‘disease by the in-
telligent laity and the medica
profession.” i
Dr, Hugh Morgan, of the Van-
debilt: University School of Medi-
cine, and Dr, M.J. Bent of the de-
partment ‘of health at “Meharry
who addvessed the delegates upon

Caliver Says Emergency in
Negro Education Acute
‘That the ‘emergency. in’ Negro
education is more acute and far-
reaching among Negroes than a
mong other groups was declared
by Dr, Ambrose Caliver, Senior
Specialist in the Education of Ne-
groes, United States Office of
Education, at ‘the Regional Train-
ing Institute for Emergency Edu-
cational Supervisors, at the Uni-
versity of Virginia, Friday.
The speaker pointed out that
“in normal times Negro education
was far below standard in practi-
cally every phase of school work—
in availability and accessibility of
schools; buildings and equipment;
term length; curriculum; teachers’
salaries; administration; and sup-
ervisian.”

Stevens Playground Gives Food
For Destitute Virginia Family
Motivated by the spirit.of chari
ty, the children, members of the
Mothers’ Club, friends and_direct-
ors of Stevens Playground, Mon-
day, joined hands in donating a
basket of foodstuffs for a. destitute
family of ten located in the farm
region of Virginia.
The basket, containing ‘canned
goods, meat, lard, flour, corn meal,
and sugar, was delivered to Father
Bernard Lyon of the Epiphany
Catholic Chureh of Georgetown,
who carried the food to the neglect-
ed family. Father Lyon informed
Mrs. Nellie Smith, director - of
Stevens Playground, of the. pitiful
condition of the ill-faring family.
Mrs, Smith, then, relayed the
Horrible plight of the destitutes to
the playground children,, Mothers’
Club and community friends ‘and
collected the donations. for the
basket.
According to. Father Lyon, the
family. composed of a father and
nine children ranging in age from
14 months to 15 years, are living
on an almost isolated farm, four
miles from Annadale, Va. The old-
est girl in the family, 15, has been
mothering the rest of the children
since the death of her mother. Not
uly are the children in almost
starving condition but'are malnour-
ished and in dite need of medical
attention. ‘One of the group is be:
lieved to be striken with tubercu-
10518¢ &
Living «im. an. abandoned stable
for a house, the children are vir-
tually nude ‘and have depended on
the gifts of friends fer clothes.
Father Lyon also collected an as-
sortment of clothes from ‘the char-
itable folk of Georgetown to aid
the children.
The father of the family who has
had but little work in the past few
years has repeatedly appealed to
Virginia’ authorities for relief bu‘
their case has been delayed by the
“red:tape” system of the relief or-
ganization of the state.

The scholarships are to be divided equally between men and women. Applicants may write directly to the office of the vice dean of the School of Law, 420 Fifth Street, Northwest, for application blanks.

McCULLOUGH IS ENDORSED FOR STATE'S ATTORNEY
McCULLOUGH IS ENDORSED FOR STATE'S ATTORNEY
At an overflow meeting of the executive committee of the Independent Voters' Political Welfare Organization of Maryland, last Thursday, many evidences were displayed, reflecting the response of Negroes throughout the State, to help wield Negro organized power, that it may even now be accepted that candidates will win or lose, depending upon the support of this group.
The meeting was held at Hillcrest Manor, Grennock, Maryland, whose proprietor is Mrs. Anna Robinson. Among the many highlights of the session was a frank, candid and courageous speech by the honored guest Attorney Robert W McCullough, of Cheverly, Maryland, who is a candidate for State's Attorney in the Democratic primaries against Alan Bowie.
Mr. McCullough's speech eliminated the necessity of a quiz by the committee. He declared himself sound and just on the Negro question, and stated further that when elected to the position of State's Attorney of Prince George's County his every aim would be a "single standard" of prosecution and recommendations of clemency and mercy whenever justified. McCullough, declared, however, that it is hard to help a downtrodden people, unless they, too, make an effort to help themselves, and that it was his belief that the Independent Voters' Organization is not only to be praised, but is now recognized as a permanent, constructive, political unit, to be reckoned with in the affairs of the State of Maryland.
McCullough Endorsed
A motion by Attorney James C. Waters, to endorse Robert W. McCullough for State's Attorney of Prince George's County, and recommend his nomination and ultimate election, was unanimously voted upon.
The presentation to the proper federal officials of resolutions, protesting the practical exclusion of colored women from employment in the government departments, in any capacity above the grade of elevator operator or charwoman, was authorized.
Charles M. Thomas, teacher, made a short, inspiring talk on race solidarity, and advised the formation of various committees to carry on an educational campaign, so that the strength of the colored voters throughout the country could be united, in an effort to promote the welfare of the race, and so that the vote could not be used as a tool for "party supremacy" regardless of the benefits that might be denied the colored voter.
Plans Fall Meeting
Plans for a fall convention in Baltimore were elaborated upon. Just prior to adjournment, greetings were presented by a special messenger from Congressman Stephen W. Gambrill, expressing his regret at being unable to be present at this meeting, and reminding the Independent Voters' Organization that the good which they were doing was of great benefit to the state and society. He further hoped that they would continue their excellent work, appreciating always their faith in him.
Night Prowlers Ransack Booker T Theatre
Thieves entered the Booker T Theatre, located in the 1400 block of U Street, Northwest, last week, and made away with approximately $10 in cash. According to Montrell Montgomery, manager of the U Street picture house, 1115 Q Street, Northwest, the intruders gained entrance by jimmying a rear door sometime between closing time Monday night and early Tuesday morning. They broke a candy machine in the lobby of the theatre and took $5 from it, smashed a telephone from the wall and stole the money from the collection box. Police say they also attempted to enter several desks on the second floor but failed.
Attempt to Elude Police Lands Man in Hospital
Attempting to elude police whom he believed were after him, Noble Davis, 27, 1529 Eighth Street, Northwest, jumped from a one-story window, Tuesday, injuring his left arm. First aid treatment was administered at Freedmen's Hospital and Davis was later arrested by Second Preceinte police and held for investigation.

Believe it or not, but this line is depositing money in the new Industrial Bank of Washington which opened Monday after being closed since the bank holiday last March 1933. Crowds almost fought for the opportunity to place money in the new bank. Deposits doubled the withdrawals, said bank officials. Jessie, Mitchell is the new president. W. H. C. Brown, president of the old Industrial Savings Bank, will remain as conservator.
BANK DEPOSITS FIRST DAY TWICE WITHDRAWALS
Only $12,000 Withdrawn While $31,500 Deposited on Opening Day
Deposits in the new Industrial Bank of Washington more than doubled the withdrawals, Monday, the first opening day since the President's bank holiday last March, 1933.
According to Walter L. Carter, cashier, the deposits amounted to $31,500 and withdrawals were about $12,000.
The first business transacted by the bank was with J. Franklin Wilson, local attorney who made a deposit of $6,000 for a client. The next depositor who refused to give his name to the Tribune, left $4,500 in cash.
The bank holds membership in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which guarantees each depositor any amount up to $5,000.
W. H. C. Brown, former president of the bank, will remain as conservator in charge of the assets which were not transferred to the new bank, said he and officials of the institution were pleased with the reaction of the depositors. The best assets of the old bank were sold to the new and the remaining assets will be left in the hands of Mr. Brown and will be liquidated for the benefit of depositors, so that depositors will get more dividends later on.
The 35 per cent dividend began Monday. The total amount available to depositors amount to $200,000.

In an address Monday Dr. Thompkins played members of the local medical profession for their apparent lethargy and lack of action since the publication of the alarming death rate here. As outlined by Dr. Whiper the survey will include the number of persons on relief, number that should be on relief, number of children in the community under five years and the general health conditions of the community in which the survey is made.
Others who are taking active part in the drive for better health are Dr. J. A. Keene, Mrs. Katie Agnes Brown, Mrs. Harriett A. Lee, Joseph Montgomery, Mrs. Ella Lofton. Mrs. Alma J. Scott, Dr. George L. Johnson, Dr. Donald McC. Harper and Mrs. Martha Simpson. John T. Rhines presided at the meeting.

RENT 45 PER CENT HIGHER HERE THAN IN OTHER CITIES
Charges that an "unjustifiable" amount of rent is being paid for hundreds of uninhabitable dwellings in the District, and that "terrible housing conditions" exist among families on relief, are contained in a report released by Leroy A. Halbert of the District Emergency Relief. The report is based on a survey made by C. W. A. Workers of 6,595 individual cases.
According to the report, rents are at least 45 per cent higher in Washington than in other cities. Halbert declared that on the strength of the survey, some of the unfortunate people on the relief rolls are paying rent for houses which actually have been condemned by health authorities. The report further declared that of the families studied, 31 per cent are using kerosene lamps for illumination and 70 per cent are using stoves for heat. The majority of these, it said, are wood stoves.
10 in One Room
Serious overcrowding and lack of sanitary facilities and other ordinary conveniences are stressed in the report which said that in one extreme case 10 persons were occupying one room. In another case it was found that seven persons were occupying a single room.
In 18 cases, families of six were living in one room; in 64 cases families of five; in 162 cases, families of four; and in 403 cases, families of three.
In addition to the overcrowding, Halbert said the lack of proper air, space and privacy are "no more pathetic than the lack of proper facilities of other kinds beside space."
After citing the lack of sanitary facilities, Halbert suggested the construction of public bath houses supplied with year around bath rooms.
980 Have No Sinks
Inadequate toilet facilities were found in 3,939 houses; no sink in 980; three or more families using the same sink in 515; running water in 941; no soap connection in 458; broken stairs in 484; broken windows in 1.7 and no windows at all in 1 rooms.
Halbert said the unfit he should be demolished.
