Brutal Husband Shot to Death by Wife After 5 Months of Wedded Life Robert Craig Slain in An Early Morning Argument With 21-Year-Old Mate WOMAN HELD FOR ACTION OF GRAND JURY Coroner's Jurors Visibly Shaken by Testimony of Man's Cruelty to Wife A story of five-months of "living hell" told at a coroner's inquiry, Monday, failed to justify the killing of her husband, Robert Craig, 28, 2818 Robinson Place, Southeast, by Mrs. Florence Craig, 21, following one of frequent arguments between the two last Saturday morning. Robinson was shot to death when he attempted to keep his wife from "going for the police" after he and she had engaged in an argument over the washing of windows in the house. He, police were told, had demanded that Mrs. Craig wash the windows. She refused to do this unless he bought shades for them. A fight ensued and she is said to have struck and later threatened. Would Call Cops Mrs. Craig went to her upstairs room, armed herself with a revolver she is said to have brought from her mother's home several weeks ago, and returned to the floor below. Asked where she was going, the woman declares she replied, "I'm going for the police." Craig is said to have jumped from the table where he was eating his breakfast and advanced upon her with clenched fist. Mrs. Craig told the coroner's jury she "must have fired" the gun. Four witnesses, placed on the stand by defense attorneys, testified that Craig had on numerous Attorney Wilson Refuses to Address Bar Association A last minute change in the program prevented Attorney John H. Wilson, member of the local bar, from addressing the members of the National Bar Association last Friday in Baltimore. Mr. Wilson stated to The Tribune that he spent several weeks preparig his address and had planned to speak on some phase of criminal law. He said that at the last minute his subject was changed by the program committee and another subject assigned him. He would need several days to prepare the latter subject which would not give him time to get it in shape in time for Friday. He visited the convention but refused to address any of its settings.

Wheatland, pioneer X-Ray specialist, physician and surgeon, and trustee of Howard University, who died August 16, for nearly forty years had been practicing his profession at Newport, Rhode Island.

Born in West Indies Dr. Wheatland was born February 12, 1868 at Bridgetown, Barbadoes, in the British West Indies. His father, the captain of a schooner trading between the islands died when he was between five and six years of age. At the age of twelve he selected the trade of shoemaking with the idea of making his own shoes, and thereby lessening the expense of maintenance. His apprenticeship extended through a period of three years. During his apprenticeship the young shoemaker was invited to compete at the Barbadoes Annual Exhibition, which brought together the finest products of industry manufactured on the island. This was in his 15th year. He won the first prize with a pair IVENT WAS VOL.

Cuney and Attorney Augustus W. Gray, former receivers for the Whitelaw Hotel, were criticised by Auditor Leftwich Sinclair of the District Supreme Court last Friday for paying out money on a second trust and paying their own salaries without an order of the court. The hearing was the final one on the receivership and was held in the office of the Auditor with a score or more of interested persons present. The Whitelaw Hotel Corporation of which George W. Robinson is president had attacked the report of the receivers who were dismissed a few months ago. The hotel was recently bought at auction by R. Talley Homes. Attorney George E. C. Hayes represented the executive committee of the hotel corporation which included George W. Robinson, president; Cisaro A. Lee, secretary, and William H. Robinson, attorney. Attorney Gray represented the receivers. The report submitted by the receivers covered their stewardship as receivers and included all money spent for what purposes it was expended. The report will be submitted to the judge of the District Supreme Court for recommendation.

Over 2,000 persons are expected to participate in the event, with civic and social organizations cooperating with the self-help units and clients on the District relief rolls. Mr. Woodruff also stated that plans for establishing two sewing rooms and several other self-help projects have been worked out and submitted to the Federal Emergency Relief Administration in an application for funds to purchase materials and other necessities. Work on these projects will be pushed forward when the Cooperatives receive the necessary funds. Plans are being made for publishing a newspaper, which will be the official organ of the Self-Help Cooperatives, Chancellor Williams announced at a meeting of the Southeast self-help group Tuesday night. Mr. Williams, who is a member of the Northeast group, stated that arrangements have been made to secure the use of the print shop of the National Training School for Women and Girls. Other plans of the Cooperatives include a discussion class for the benefit of persons who desire to familiarize themselves more thoroughly with various phases of self-help. The class will be held at the relief headquarters, Fifth and H Streets, Northwest, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 7:30 p.m., beginning September 5. The class will continue for two weeks, with a well-informed speaker to lead the discussion at each meeting. Local Lawyers Consider Remark By Walter White "Slap in Face" DUNBAR GIRL CAPTURES FINALS DUNBAR GIRL CAPTURES FINALS Miss Betty Francis Takes Honors at National Convention Finals Exhibiting the same superiority in delivery, enunciation and poise which carried her through the local and regional competitions. Miss Betty Francis, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. John R. Francis, of this city, captured the national finals of the Elks' Oratoryal Contest, held in Atlantic City, N. J., Menday night. The contest finals was listed as one of the features of the annual convention of the Improved Benavolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. Miss Francis, 17 years old and a graduate in the 1934 class of the Dunbar High School, won over contestants from New York, Missouri, South Carolina and Tennessee. The New York student, another young woman, captured second prize. Miss Francis's award consisted of $150 in cash. Regional Winn Netted Scholarship A $1,000 scholarship to be used in the college of her choice was won by the Capital City entrant last month when she annexed the regional crown in Philadelphia, Pa. The Tribune was advised in an interview with the young woman's father that Miss Francis intended pursuing the course of study at the Miner Teachers' College. A deferment of the scholarship has been obtained by the winner until after she has completed her preparation at the Georgia Avenue institution. When that is accomplished, Miss Francis will call upon the fund to pay for her work on a master's degree, on which her eyes are already set.

Perry Howard Faction Aids in Election of E. Washington Rhodes BALTIMORE -- District members of the National Bar Association, this week, took exception to a statement by Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, when the NAACP leader stated in Baltimore last week that his association would hire more colored lawyers when there are "more Charlie Houstons." Local lawyers considered this a slap in the face. White made the remark when he was asked why the NAACP did not employ more colored lawyers. The association has employed a number of white attorneys. Rhodes Elected Mr. Houston is dean of the Howard University School of Law and represented the association in the famous Crawford case. A stiff fight took place at the Baltimore convention when E. Washington Rhodes, Philadelphia editor and political leader, was elected president. Rhodes was elected when the Perry W. Howard faction threw its strength and votes to the Philadelphia. George W. Lawrence, of Chicago, was also a candidate. He was largely supported by what was known at the convention as the TWO-HEADED BABY STIRS CURIOSITY Doctors Forced to Remove One Head to Save Parent From Death NEWARK, N.J.—It is a blessing to be the mother of eight children, but as Mrs. Gufrey Sloan of 80 Livingston Street "labored" for eighteen hours in her home, surrounded by her husband and intimate friends and lingering between life and death, she did not realize that she was giving birth to a two-headed baby. But Death was also lingering around the bed-side and the nine pound baby boy became a corpse, while the mother is in a serious condition at her home, under the care of Dr. Clarence Janifer. It was said that Dr. Janifer was called to the bedside of the weaning mother after she had suffered nearly seventeen hours. One Head Cut Off The physician was puzzled at the sight of two heads projecting from the body of the infant and immediately called into conference another physician to aid in "delivering" the baby. It was found necessary to decapitate one head before the body could be removed from the womb of the mother and according to Dr. Janifer, the baby was born dead. The body was taken to the Funeral Home of John M. Dabney and Negro Dared to Operate on White Woman Fined $200 JACKSON, Miss., (ANP) — A case unheard of before in the medical history of the state of Mississippi, was concluded here Saturday when Richard Tigue, middle-aged colored "herb doctor" was tried and convicted for practicing medicine without a license in connection with his attending a white woman of the community in child birth. That a Negro should have such temerity, shocked the community. Luther Luciens, justice of the peace near Louisville in Winston county fined Dr. Tigue $200, although his case was appealed to the circuit court by his attorney. 1930 E.

The invitation of the Capital City delegation was acclaimed by an assemblage composed of Elks from over the entire country. Special to The Tribune ATLANTIC CITY. — Taking his opponents completely by surprise, J. Finley Wilson, "Little Napoleon" of Elkdom, firmly entrenched himself in the lucrative position of Grand Exalted Ruler of that order for another period of two years in a surprise move engineered here Tuesday morning. Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia and Health Commissioner of the Elks, led the totally unexpected coup, fenagling the doughty little "warrior" into an extension of office tenure before the "opposition," led by John Marquess of Philadelphia, could get organized. Extension Called Illegal Plans of the opposition, it is said, had been to seek to oust Wilson on the grounds that the extension of his term of office to two years, as voted at the Indianapolis convention last year, had been contrary to the constitution of the Grand Lodge. Wilson's cohorts, however, were just one step ahead of them. Breaking suddenly into the annual report, which the grand exalted ruler was delivering on the rostrum of Fitzgerald Auditorium here, Dr. Thompkins gained the floor and in a stirring appeal asked that, with a suspension of the rules, Mr. Wilson be elected by acclamation for a new term of two years. The motion was carried through so quickly that the opposition, confused as to the meaning of the move, had no time to prepare a course of action. Most of the delegates, under the impression that they were merely endorsing the continuance of the term which Mr. Wilson began in Indianapolis last year, were amazed when it was announced by T. Gillis Nutter, presiding chairman that they had in effect elected Mr. Wilson for a term that would not end until August, 1836. Nutter explained that the two-year-term law, adopted last year, did not become constitutional until this session of the Grand Lodge, and that Mr. Wilson's pervious term, therefore, had been for a period of only one year. Planned Ouster Rumor had it that the Marquess (Continued on page 15) DEPOSITS IN BANK PASS $200,000 New Institution Takes in Large Sum in Less Than 2 Weeks Deposits in the new Industrial bank of Washington passed the $200,000 mark in less than two weeks, it was announced by Walter L. Carter, cashier, Wednesday. The bank opened August 20 after having been closed since the President's bank holiday last March. 1933. Depite the fact that a number took advantage of the opportunity to withdraw 35 per cent of their deposits which have been denied them nearly 18 months a larger number started new accounts which at all times have more than doubled the withdrawals. A number of those who withdrew money from the bank started new accounts with the money withdrawn, Mr. Carter said. The officers of the bank are stressing the fact that the Federal Government insures deposits up to $5,000 which gives added safety to the institution. The bank is conveniently located in uptown Washington and is the only colored institution of its kind in the District. Residence School for Women Only One of Its Kind in Country ST. JOHN C. M. E. MEMBERS WORSHIP IN NEW EDIFICE Services Held in Recently Completed Structure in Southeast After more than fifty years of worship in the little frame structure at the corner of Stanton and Pomeroy Roads, Southeast, the congregation of St. John C.M.E. Church has succeeded in establishing a record for itself that will help to make history for the C.M.E. churches. A few years ago a piece of property was purchased on the corner of Stanton and Douglass Roads, Southeast, and, under the pastorate of the Rev. M. Wilcox, the first unit of the new edifice was almost completed. In April, 1934, the Rev. J. T. McClennon took over the pastorate and announced his intentions of worshiping in the new church on the fourth Sunday in August, which to many looked almost impossible, but with the cooperation of his officers, members and their friends, the program was successfully put over. On last Sunday, at 11:30 a.m., members and friends worshiped for the last time in the old St. John edifice, with the presiding elder, the Rev. Threlkeld, delivering a farewell sermon. At three o'clock the opening service in the new church was held featuring renditions by various choirs and remarks by visiting pastors. The church was decorated with flowers presented by Chisleys Florist and the auditorium was packed to capacity when the choir marched in singing, "Holy, Holy, Holy." In reverence to the Rev. Mr. Wilcox who started the work on the road to success, the church gave him the honor of delivering the first sermon at 8 o'clock. Lawyer U. J. Banks is the supervising architect and Edward Garrett is the general foreman. The total amount raised for the day was $124.46, of which amount many friends and pastors gave $1 each and the Rev. Wilcox contributed $10. The basement is practically completed and paid for. Pioneer Tuskegee Mercant Dies TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. (ANP) — Tuskegee Institute was greatly saddened Thursday, August 16 by the passing of E. H. Gamlin, pioneer mechan of the community. More than forty years ago Mr. Gamlin through the interest of Dr. Washington opened a small store on the Institute grounds. A few years later he purchased land on the Mongomery highway adjacent to the campus and here on a larger scale continued to serve the people of the community. Five years ago he leased the building to Nettles Grocery Company and accepted the position of manager in the new stocked and refurnished business. Baltimore Minister to The Rev. W. H. Dean, pastor of John Wesley M. E. Church, Baltimore, will deliver a sermon on "More Fools Needed." Sunday at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Eighth Street between D and E Streets, Southwest.

Tucked away amid the beauties of nature near the exclusive settlement of Highland Beach, at Camp Clarissa Scott, a very unusual school has been organized for the betterment of young colored women. This school is known as a Residence School, many of which are to be found all over the country for white girls, but this is the first and only one that has been organized through the untiring efforts of Mrs. J. W. Hamilton and others for the benefit of colored women. There are twenty-one girls in camp. These girls were carefully selected after an intensive survey had been made of their lives according to morals, edulation, physical abilities, experiences and possibilities of developing outstanding leaders in the future. With the assistance of a competent staff, which includes Miss E. Robertson, camp directress, instructor in history of labor movement, and economics; Miss A. P. Banks, home economics and vocational guidance; Miss S. Greene, business manager and instructor in home problems; Miss L. E. McGowan, art craft and instructor in English Miss M. A. Walker, secretary of camp and swimming instructor; Mrs. E. B. Chapman, dietitian, the camp has been well organized by dividing the young women into REV. WALTER H.

Williams First Served Gospel Spreading Association at 1926 Funeral; Fourth Grade Education No Hamper to Michaux Lieutenant A most interesting story is built around Herbert D. Williams, "readie" for the popular radio evangelist, Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux. Williams has occupied the position he now holds and in which millions of radio listeners hear him several times weekly, for nearly eight years. His career began at a funeral for one of the members of the Gospel Spreading Association, boasting memberships in most of the large cities of the east. The service was being conducted in Hampton, Va. during the spring of 1926. A request was made for someone to volunteer to read for Elder Michaux. Mr. Williams, then a World War veteran and inmate at the National Soldiers' Home, near Hampton, offered his services. During the same season the evangelist was invited to conduct a 10-day meeting at Essex, Md., in a church pastored by Elder George HOLY NAME GUILD HOLDS OPEN FORUM Thirteenth Street House Crowded for Initial Session of Holy Name Order A large crowd was in attendance as the Holy Name Guild, an organization of Catholic men, held its initial Open Forum at the Guild home, 1727 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, Monday night.

Davis, Phi Beta Kappa, Williams College, and an assistant to Eugene Kinckle Jones in the Department of Interior, was the principal speaker. Mr. Davis's topic was "Economic Future of the Negro." Dr. William West, dean of men at Howard University, delivered an interesting talk on current topics. He dealt more directly with the buying power of the Negro population of the nation's capital than with any other phase. Other speakers were L. DeReef Holton, whose paper, "The NRA and the Negro" was freely discussed; Howard Fitzhugh, member of the New Negro Alliance; Johann P. Gillmore and John F. Cole. Dr. Annie G. Greene rendered a piano solo. The next session of the forum was set for: September 24. Rev. Harrison to Address Young People's Federation Rev. E. L.

Several other occasions followed where Elder Michaux found need for a "reader," and each time he looked up Mr. Williams and beseeched him to accept the assignment. In the fall of the same year, Elder Michaux found that his popularity was growing with such rapidity that he needed assistance in his Newport News headquarters. Mr. Williams was signed for this position and has been with him ever since. A little later Elder Michaux established headquarters in Baltimore, Md., and his former "reader" was installed as corresponding secretary. A fourth grade education does not hamper him as he now goes about his duties in that capacity together with serving as president of the Young Men's Purity Club, an affiliation of the Church of God, in this city. Wife of Downingtown Principal in Hospital DOWINGTOWN, Pa.—Upon the advice of her physician, Dr. Virginia Alexander of Philadelphia, Mrs. Virginia Ruffin Waring, wife of the principal of Downingtown Industrial School, entered the University of Pennsylvania Hospital on Thursday, August 23, for a thyroid operation.

Finley Wilson at One Time Worked With Buffalo Bill BY EDWARD LAWSON Once again, this week, the Grand Lodge of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World has convened in the World's Playground, Atlantic City, for its annual business session. And once again, as since 1922, the guiding reins of the convention will be in the able hands of Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, long-time resident and civic leader of this city. Undoubtedly the most active and colorful of all lodge heads, Mr. Wilson has behind him a background of progress and achievement such as few men of his race can boast. From an organization of but 25,000 scattered members, he has built the Elks into a vast fraternal empire boasting, today, a total representation of more than 250,000. $150,000 in Scholarships He gave to the world an educational program which has spent over $150,000 in scholarships for the youth of the race, establishing a precedent among fraternities of America, white or black. His fraternal health program has stood out as an epoch in the home life of the Amercian Negro, and has given to the Negro group, both here and in the West Indies, Central and South America, and in far-off Africa, the thought that if they live well they shall die well. During all this time he has held a number of positions in local, national, church, fraternal, and political organizations, and has been instrumental in the organization of many civic and welfare groups looking toward the betterment of the race. Born in Tennessee Born in Dixon County, Tennessee, in 1880, Mr. Wilson came of humble parentage. His father, James L. Wilson, was a farmer, a soldier, and a militant minister. His mother, Nancy Wiley Wilson, was the daughter of Free Tom Wiley, who operated steam-and-flat-boats on the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers before the Civil War. Free Rivers had taken part in the Mexican War still earlier, and in the Texas battle for independence, under Sam Houston. Finley, doughty though diminutive, was a born leader in the classroom and on the athletic field. He finished school at Dixon ata fourteen, then he spent two years at Wayman's Academy, Tennessee, before matriculating, at the age of sixteen, at Fisk University. During the months of his summer vacations he bell-hoped in order to pay his way through the Tennessee school. Later he visited Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, and New York, doing odd jobs, until, in 1898, the Spanish-American War broke out. Although he was under age, he made an attempt to join the Twenty-third Kansas Regiment. As soon as his youth was discovered, he was summarily discharged. Thwarted so early in his military career, he joined the oldrushers who were then stampeding to Nome, Alaska, in search of the precious metal. His outfit, which included Colonel Barney Boyce, of Denver, was the first to reach White Horse Pass.

Phone, Met. 2056 938 L STREET, N. W. JOHN H. HARRIS J. FINLEY WILSON must have been elusive, for in 1988 he returned to Seattle drifted down the coast to San Francisco, and thence treked back to Kansas City and Denver. Worked on Newspaper In Kansas City he was made bell captain at the Midland Hotel. Here he stayed for several years, working in his spare time on The Sun, a weekly paper owned by J. H. Cole and edited by Nelson Crews and Alex Woods. During the summer of 1895 he held one of the most interesting—and exciting—jobs of his career, that of driving the stage from Telequah to Fort Gibson. Teleguah was the capital of the old Creek nation, and Fort Gibson was the source of Indian supplies. Raids on the stages were quite frequent, and gun battles an everyday occurrence. In 1898 he returned to Kansas City, organized the Young Men's Republican Club, and became its leader. This was his initial entry into the political picture. With Buffalo Bill Going to Denver in 1900, he again took an interest in politics, and soon set himself up as leader of the third ward. At the close of the campaign, which was eminently successful, he was made Sanitary Inspector of the city, at the same time holding a job with the Pullman Company as platform man, assigning conductors and porters, and hiring them for the service. This job he held until in 1904 the wanderlust gripped him again, and he went with W. F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody to open up Big Horn Basin and to establish the city which now bears Cody's name. In the fall of 1906 he went to San Francisco, remaining on the coast until after the great earthquake, visiting in the meantime the various mining camps of Colorado and Nevada. Worked With Fortune In 1907, at the request of T. Thomas Fortune, one of the greatest journalists of his age, Mr. Wilson went to New York City. Later he joined hands with Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons to build up a paper called the National Review. For many years this paper was among the most popular published in New York. Later, called to Norfolk, he helped evolve the first Negro paper in history that actually paid its own way. In 1910 he traveled north to Baltimore and joined forces with Hugh Macbeth in issuing the Baltimore Times, along with Harry Pratt, of that city. At the same time he assisted Robert J. Nelson, now boxing commissioner of the state of Pennsylvania, in operating the Advocate-Verdict in Harrisburg. Came Here in 1912 It was in 1912 that he first came to the District of Columbia. Here, in association first with Dr. J. P. H. Coleman, and later with T. Thomas Fortune, he established a four-page sheet called the Washington Sun. As soon as this enterpriser was successfully launched, Mr. Wilson turned it over to its sponsors and struck out alone with a competing sheet, the Washington Eagle. For his work in the field of journalism he was elected head of the National Negro Press Aa- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING Joined Gold Rush to Alaska But Failed to Strke it Rich in Fields sociation in 1919, and was re-elected every year for five successive terms. In 1922, after a long period of service in building up the membership of the Elks order, he was elected grand exalted ruler of that body. Since then he has been re-elected annually without serious opposition except at Richmond in 1925 and at Atlantic City in 1929. In both cases he overcame this opposition so effectively that in 1933, at Indianapolis, he was elected for a term of two years instead of one, and was vested with plenary powers. Supported Smith Since that time he has been a powerful figure in the fraternal and political picture. In 1928 he came out boldly as an Al Smith Republican, to rebuke the Republican party for discriminations being heaped upon the people by the administration. In 1932 he went down with the G. O. P. ship under Hoover, not because he thought that Hoover would or should or could have won, but in protest against the second man, John Nance Garner, on the Democratic ticket. Last fall he joined hands with Fiorello LaGuardia in New York and Edward W. Henry in Philadelphia, with great success at the polls. In the meantime he was elected county committeeman of the city of New York, being consulted by both parties, Rupublican and Fusionist, as to what might be done to swing the colored vote. Recently, in the Musolit Club of this city, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson launched a movement for the benefit of the citizens of the District of Columbia, who are denied a voice or vote in all political affairs. This club, through a committee, is conducting a militant drive for manhood rights in the District of Columbia, and for better race conditions throughout America. Buys New York House What the future holds for the great Elk leader, only time can reveal. A few weeks ago, When he purchased an apartment house in Harlem, it was rumored that he was soon to take an active part in the politics of the metropolis. This and the concurrent rumor that he would establish a newspaper there, he has steadfastly denied. It is a matter for conjecture, therefore, what he will do next. But from the record of his past accomplishments, it would seem obvious that whatever course he chooses, it will be sane, progressive, and constructive. The grand exalted ruler of the Elks is like that. Young New York State Miss Feted by Children Before returning to her home in Buffalo, N. Y., Wednesday morning, little Miss Rosea Lee Marshall, niece of Reverend James H. Marshall, 2035 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, was shown Washington hospitality and talent by a lovely array of nine-year-olds like herself. With little Gladys Harris acting as mistress of ceremonies, an unural talent program was presented, and games were played prior to bountiful refreshments, supervised by Miss Gladys Ward, playground instructor, and Gladys Mauldin, another rise of the popular Baptist pastor. Among those present were: Lillian E. Brown, Lillian Fleet, Elora and Alice Fleet, Naomi E.

Reverend and Mrs. James H. Marshall are widely known for the happiness and success brought into their church work in Northern Virginia and Washington.

Two buses and about seven cars transported the group for a days outing which included a round of swimming and exhibition track meet with two teams made on the playground competing to the pleasure of the spectators who gathered to witness the seven time champions in girl track and field competition. Among the private cars driven down later to be with the goup were Mr. and Mrs. S. Smith and children, S. Sayles and children, Mr. A. Green and children, J. Slaughter and children, Mr. Matthews and guests, Mr. Gales and children. James Brown, dramatic director of playgrounds was the guest of honor. Mary Ridley, outstanding high jumper of the Barry Farns track team gave a very pleasing demonstration of high jumping much to the pleasure of spectators assembled. James Travis, a senior tennis player, and Elmer Proctor, a midget playing in the junior class, will begin competing in the tennis tournament this week at the Howard Playground. Howard Playground The coming tennis championship series will be played this week with all playgrounds competing for the tennis trophy offered this year by the sponsors. Monroe Playground The first annual pet show threatened to be a walk out when some late arrivals held up what turned out to be one of the finest pet shows seen in a long time on local playgrounds. The ground was fixed up in a very appropriate style with streamers and bunting that looked like a typical pet show usually held in a metropolitan area. Credit for the decorations goes to Sylvanius Holley and Sterling Crosby. More than thirty-five pets were entered in the competition which was opened with a brief program, directed by Miss Caroline Mapp, mistress of ceremonies. Several songs by the kindergarten group led by Miss Elma Chadwick were well received after which the judges were presented to the audience assembled. The judges were Miss Lillian Street, Elam Chadwick and Rosalia Mabre. The following pets received prizes: tallest dog, owned by Walter Johnson and Jacob Adamson; strangest pet, a spider owned by Ellissa Anderson. Miss Anderson also won awards with the spider for having the smallest pet and the most novel pet. The oldest dog award was also won by Miss Anderson. The pretty dog prize went to Arvell Hall while the weakest pet prize went to Hulaa Warden's Canary which threatened to break up the show during one of the sons numbers being rendered by the kindergarten. Other entries were made by Richard Day, Catherine Barnaby, Hunter Haines, Inez Williams, Marion Street, Louise Hill and Catherine Johnson. Midget Title to Monroe Tossers The Monroe baseball team won both the Municipal and City Championships during the weekend when it defeated Cardozo and Montgomery players. In defeating the Cardozo team they were forced to lose the first game 4-0 but came back strong enough to win the second 3-2 and the third 6-5. Home runs were made by Mahoney and Gorham of Monroe. The Montgomery team was defeated 6-4 and 10-3 in a double header to decide the city championship. Montgomery has the credit of being the school playground champion for 1934 however. The Monroe team was coached by Elijah Williams, while the Montgomery team was coached by "Bus" Stokes. Members of the City Championship Midget Baseball Team at Monroe playground are C. Greene, p.; S. Frank 3b; P. Gorham, c.; G. Mahoney 1b.; A. King, rf.; L. Harris, p.; J. Robertson, ss.; A. Smith, cf.; E. Perry, S. Holley, N. Smith and B. Hayes. Lincoln Defeats Rose Park The strong Lincoln unlimited baseball team defeated the Rose Park nine in playoffs for the municipal championships at Walker Stadium Monday afternoon. Score for both games were: first game 6-1, second game 13-0. The Lincoln team is coached by Thomas Jackson and the Rose Park team is coached by John Hawkins. Tempo Choral Society The postponed twelfth summer music festival concert was held Saturday evening when the Tempo Choral Society presented a program of Negro spirituals in the auditorium of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School under the auspices of the Community Center Department. The scheduled appearance of the Community Center Band was cancelled due to the change which would have brought them before the public on Friday night, as scheduled, at the Sylvan Theatre. The society is composed of 30 voices under the direction of Dr. Scott Mayo. They meet regularly at the Dunbar Community Center under the supervision of Mrs. Carrie Knox, secretary. The group presented a varied program opening with "My Lord What A Morning." Twelve spirituals were given, ranging from the light opening number of "Rise and Shine" to the solemn, stately "Steal Away" which closed the program as a recreational. The highlight of the program was perhaps the ever-popular "Swing Low, Sweet Charity" and followed closely by "Don' Found My Lost Sheep" and "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," all of which demanded partial repetitions. James-Obelton Holmes, Jr., with chorus background sang the "Exhortation" with vigor, and Mrs. Hattie Darrich did the solo part of "Listen to the Lambs." Mrs. Frankie Crowder the soprano solo in "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" and Mrs. Elizabeth Dickerson the solos of "I'll Never Turn Back." Dr. Mayo rendered the tenor recitative with "Don' Found My Lost Sheep." Notes About Play Spaces Many improvised tennis courts are springing up in neighborhoods. Along Twenty-fifth Street, Northeast, there are two cleared areas used as tennis courts. Along Deane Avenue, near Forty-sixth Street, Northeast, is another. Courts are well used. Horse shoe pits spring up almost anywhere that horse shoes can be located. All along O Street, Northeast, and Northwest are pits. Pierce Street has its pits, Canoeing and bathing seem to have their fling also. Up in the Georgetown area last Sunday any number of youngsters could be seen paddling and rowing their crafts up and down the line. The paddlers have had some rather extended trips this summer.

Institute for Recreation Leaders to be Held NEW YORK.-The National Recreation Association, which, for the past thirty years, has been developing the program of leisure time activities for American communities, announced this week that because of the widespread need for recreation leaders in many localities, it has decided to conduct a 5-day community recreation institute in three regional sections approximately centered by the cities where, tentatively, the institutes will be conducted in the fall. These cities and dates for the Institutes, to which no tuition will be charged, will be Columbus, Ohio, beginning October 29th; Fort Worth, Texas, beginning November 12; Greenville, S. C., beginning November 5. These institutes will invite workers among colored people employed by school or municipal recreation departments, those engaged in emergency relief projects of a recreation type, volunteers or laymen who desire to train for recreation leadership, state, county orertension workers and rural agents. E. T. Attwell of the Bureau of Colored Work, National Recreation Association, will direct the institute in each of the cities named. Every man is an optimist who sees deep enough.—Edward Atkinson.

SCORES This column was agreeably surprised on passing by the vicinity of Seventh and S Streets this week to notice that the High's Ice Cream Stores have finally decided to employ a Negro clerk in one of their stores. All the credit for this move must naturally go to the New Negro Alliance, who have been constantly waging a militant struggle to have Negroes placed in business establishments that have a strictly Negro patronage and clientele—and which heretofore, have consistently refused to hire the members of our group as employees in their business. Although this writer is not thoroughly amenable to the entire program of the N.N.A., it is my opinion that the organization should be congratulated on their dogged persistence and "don't-give-it-upness" in the face of insurmountable obstacles and handicaps.

Girl Communist Fined Refuses to Pay and Goes to Jail Mary McCleave was one of the five reputed Communists who charged with parading without a permit during "picketing" activities in front of the German Embassy, July 28, were fined $25 each by Judge Ralph Given in Police Court last week. Acting as their own counsel, the defendants, Joe Zamares, San Dicken, Sylvia Hartman, Freida Borence, and Mary McCleave, colored, refused to pay the fines and remained in jail. Judge Given overruled a motion for a new trial, requested on grounds that five persons did not constitute a parade. The court held the prisoners were not picketing in the name of labor and their activities only harassed attaches at the German Embassy. Henry Grenette, and Harold Spencer, white, were two other reputed members of the Young Communists' League who were charged with disorderly conduct after they had picketed the German Embassy, and found guilty.

'Twins' At Griffith Stadium Sunday Local White Champions Expected to be Under Fire in Clash With Crack Winston-Salem Nine; Brown Versus Bowleg Duel Probable Fresh from their Industrial League championship win over the fast Pig 'n' Whistle nine, the white Heurich Brewers will make a second trip uptown for colored promoters this Sunday when they come to Griffith Stadium to oppose the crack Winston-Salem Twins, cream of southern Negro diamond aggregates. TWELVE Orientals to Clash With Rajah-DePriest Nine Rajah-DePriest baseballers will meet the Oriental Tigers, conquerors of the Hillsdales, in a double-header on the diamond at Sixieth and Clay Streets, Northeast, Sunday. The first game is carded to get under way at 1:30 o'clock. Heurich Brewers At Griffith Sta Local White Champions Exe Clash With Crack Wins Versus Bowleg Fresh from their Industrial L fast Pig n' Whistle nine, the white trip uptown for colored promoters th fith Stadium to oppose the crack Wi ern Negro diamond aggregations. The local white outfit practically clinched the city championship when it defeated the Whistlers in the third of the 3-game series for the Industrial League championship, last Wednesday evening at the west Ellipse diamond of the Monument Grounds. There are few other teams in Washington the equal of those listed in that league and when the Brewers, through a sensational catch by Dick Knight, annexed the loop title they all but established themselves as the outstanding white team of the District. Brewers Classy Knight's catch was a fielding gem. The speedy left-fielder travelled far back to deep left center to pull down—with one hand—a lusty clout off the bat of Fee Collier, Pig catcher. The bases were loaded at the time and the subsequent losers only one run behind. The Twins won a large local following when they literally smothered an all-star colored team here, under the direction of "Fox" Dwiggins, several weeks ago. They hit, fielded and ran bases with such a finesse that Capital fandom, and particularly the North Carolina portion of it, is hard to convince that they do not have one of the greatest machines in semi-pro diamond circles. Lefty Brown, who set down the Harrisburg Giants in an earlier game, will probably toe the slab for the Washington nine, while his opponent will in all likelihood be selected from Slick Coleman or Lefty Bowley, two of the premier colored pitchers of the south. ISHERWOOD SIGNED FOR TILT WITH LeDROIT TIGERS Crack White Aggregation to Oppose Jungaleers in One Game Sunday The Isherwood A. C., one of the strongest contenders for the local white independent championship, will be opponents of the LeDroit Tigers, on the latters' diamond at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, Sunday. The teams are slated for a single game beginning at 2:30 p.m. The visitors, guided by Mat Flanagan one of the city's best known white diamond figures, boast a formidable array of talent. Eddie Rose and Sid Simon are considered among the best local infielders. The former stands out as guardian of the initial sack while the latter cavorts the shortstop position. Babe Kaplan, 235-pound flinger, said to have had several offers from organized baseball, the plan being to farm him to one of the smaller circuits for experience Tigers Confident Manager Sherman Baylor, Tiger ip, is holding little fear for the welfare of his team. Baylor, fresh from victories over the Georgetown Athletics, and a split with the Washington Pirates, expresses a confidence that his young outfit will be well able to take care of itself in future clashes. The line-up will probably be as follows: Isherwood - Flanagan, 2b; Daniels, 3b; Honey, If.; Morris, rf; Chapdelaine, cf.; Rose, 1b; Simons, ss.; Chappel, c.; Kaplan and Sullivan, pitchers. LeDroit - Moten, rf.; Gray, cf. Payne, ss.; Coleman, 2b.; R, W Williams, 3b.; Fields, If.; Williams, 1b; Johnson, c.; Craig, Smith and Jackson, pitchers.

The North Carolina aggregation has been listed for a nocturnal contest with the strong Baltimore Sox at Bugle Field. Sunday night baseball has become quite popular in the Monumental City since the collapse of Baltimore's plans to affiliate with the National Negro Association. Inability to reach an agreement whereby Baltimore would be represented as a full member of the association, baseball moguls thereabouts a bandoned operation on a "big time" scale. As a result independent and semi-pro teams have had full sway. Bugle Field with its good lighting facilities became the mecca for Sabbath sports. Monumental City teams have been using the grounds to advantage. DALES SCORE, 6-3 OVER BLACK SOX Jimmie Price Stars in Slab Debut for Winners; Powell Beaten Combining superior defensive play and timely hitting behind the steady pitching of Jimmie Price, recently acquired southpaw, the Hillsdales took the measure of the Washington Black Sox in a single contest on the groundie at Pomphret, Md. Sunday. The final score was 6-3. Roy (Red) Powell, ace of the dark-hosed staff, faced the 'Dale bats in the first of a proposed 3-game series, but was unable to stem the Hillsdales tide in the pinches. The 9 safeties gotten off his offerings were clustered in the second, fifth and sixth innings and proved his undoing. Toots Brown, Dopey Jones and Price, himself, were chief offenders in this respect. Each connected twice. Ernie Johnson's double and Dick Temple's single, the latter with the bases loaded, were also trouble-makers. A water-soaked outfield hammered the play of both teams. George Ford's catch of a drive from the bat of Geechie Williams was easily the fielding gem of the afternoon.

Black Sox-Hillsdale Feud Resumed Sunday The Washington Black Sox will be endeavoring to even the score with the Hillsdale A. C., when the two teams meet in a single game, that has all carmarks of being a hum-dinger, on the grounds at Pomphret, Md., Sunday. They meet in the initial game of a proposed 3-game series last Sunday. Keystone Davis, new manager of the Sox, will in all probability name Lefty Bob Carter as his starting choice against the invading 'Dales. The latter have seen little southpaw pitching this season, and it is believed they will be in for no small amount of trouble should the ball be tossed up from the wrong side. Pomphret is situated 26 miles from Washington in a southeastern direction. A direct route through Anacostia and Congress Heights will take motorists to Pomkni where a turn to the left for 4 miles will reach the park. Game time has been set at 2:30 o'clock.

SWIM GAMES AT BANNEKER POOL SATURDAY Francis Swimming Team to Defend 1933 Title Against Strong Invasion On Saturday the eyes of the swimming world will be turned on Washington where the seventh annual A.A.U. Swimming Championships will be held in the newly constructed Banneker Pools, Georgia Avenue and Euclid Street. Last year this meet was attended by hundreds of swimming fans from all over the country and was won by representatives of the Francis Swimming Pools, Twenty-fourth and N Streets, Northwest, who thus became permanent possessors of the Captain F. W. Hoover Team Trophy, emblematic of swimming superiority on the Atlantic Seaboard. This year exceptionally close competition is expected from the New York and Pittsburgh teams which have been priming for a comeback since early summer. Teams will also be competing from Norfolk, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Prominent swimmers who will be on hand will be: Leroy Williams, New York Olympic aspirant, Charles Isles, junior national metropolitan swimming champion; Ernest Colburn of the Philadelphia Y.M.C.A.; Ernest Marshall, of the Banneker Center; and the fast swimming Tartar Brothers of Baltimore. Miss Meyne Brown of Baltimore and Miss Connie Lucas of the Banneker Pools are expected to uphold the female side of the competition, and will be ably supported by the Misses Estelle Bryant, and Desiree Gray, all of the Bannker Pools. Many "dark horses" are expected to extend the favorites in quite a few of the events. Chance for Revenge Seen in Sox-Twin Labor Day Tilt A hope that they will be able to settle an old score with the Winston-Salem Black Twins will be borne to the Walker Stadium by members of the Washington Black Sox, Labor Day( Monday). A clash with the visiting North Carolinians has been arranged by "Fox" Dwiggins, local representative of the southern outfit. Players of the Black Sox comprised the major portion of the cast which played as the D. C. All Stars against the same Twin aggregation when the latter paid its respects to Washington several weeks ago. On that occasion the invaders added insult to injury by pasting the offerings of Big Ed Brown and Lefty George Smith for a total of 10 runs while Slick Coleman, their mound representative, was handing out a string of goose-eggs to the utter distaste of the Stars and all the Star sympathizers. The locals have been practicing diligently all week in preparation for the go, and a scheduled meeting with the Hillsdale at Pomphret, Sunday, is expected to complete the readying process through which they are being sent by Keystone Davis, newly made manager. Nashville to Meet Craws in Washington, Sept. 16 Washington has been selected as the spot for the final of a 3-game series between the Pittsburgh Crawfords and the Nashville Elite Giants, it was learned officially by the Tribune early this week. Doug Smith, local lieutenant for Tom Wilson, owner of the Tennessee club, made the announcement following receipt of instructions to proceed with arrangements for the contest. The two teams engage in a series each year with a stake of $1,000 as the reward for the winner. Nashville took the measure of the Crawfords on her own grounds and the Smoky City crew turned the tables when the two teams met on the Pennsylvania lot. As a result neither appeared willing to play the deciding game on the other's grounds. Washington was selected and the date set for September 16. 'Jacket Practice Candidates for the Washington Yellowjackets football team will report for the initial practice of that outfit, Tuesday, at the Howard Playground, Fourth and W Streets, Northwest, at 3:30 o'clock. Dispute Marks 1st Clash Between Anacostia and Georgetown Dispute Marks 1st Clash Between Anacostia and Georgetown Each Team Claims Victory in Nightcap of Twin Bill; Southeasterners Win Opening Contest With Ninth Inning Rally, 7-5 D.C. BOY STARS IN LAST FRAME CLOUT HARRISBURG WIN SPOILS NO-HITTER ORANGEBURG, S. C. — William M. "Bill" Bell, former Ohio State grid ace and former assistant football coach of Howard University recently accepted the position of director of physical education and head coach at Claflin College, here. In 1929-3-31, Bill wrote his name in red, as a tackle, across the pages of football history of Ohio State college. He stepped into place that had been denied ebony hued youth for a quarter of a century. In 1932 Bell went to Howard and served two seasons as assistant coach to Tom Verdell. Bell accepted the position at Claflin College in preference to an assistantship with Charlie West who replaces coach Verdell at Howard. Dispute Marks 1 Anacostia and Each Team Claims Victory Southeasterners Win Ninth Innin With followers of the Anacostia Athletics claiming a double win over the 1933 city champion Georgetown Athletic baseball team, and sympathizers of the latter organization asserting that their color bearers rightfully captured the nightcap, the outcome of the initial meeting of the two teams was cloaked in mystery as the Tribune went to press. The affair was held last Sunday at Norbeck, Md. Ralph Dorsey, manager of the Georgetowners, and Doc Greene, boss of the Suburbanites, both declare that their respective teams earned the decision in the second of two games. They agree that Anacostia coped the opening To the best knowledge of the Tribune it appears that the westenders were on the front end of a 1-0 count as the teams went into their sixth inning. Two runs were pushed across in that frame by the Anacostians. Georgetown, howhowever, failed to take a turn at bat. Game's End a Puzzle It appears that the termination of the game has more to do with the actual outcome than any other agency. If the Dorseymen, on a claim that it was too dark to continue play, refused to come to bat when instructed to do so by the umpire. Anacostia's claim to victory seems justified. On the other hand, if the umpire in charge of the contest was of the opinion that it was too dark to finish the game, and officially called the contest, the 2 runs tallied by the Southeasterners in the unfinished sixth inning should be nullified and the score reverted to the last complete inning. In such a case Georgetown should be considered winner by a D.C. BOY STARS IN HARRISBURG WIN Ev Jeffries Pitches, Hits Team to Victory Over White Nine --- Word from Everett Jeffries, well known District athlete, who is now managing the Harrisburg Giants, formerly under the wing of Ducky Kemp, also a local product, informed the Tribune that the Giants are doing fine. To date, the Pennsylvania have a record of 38 wins and 5 losses in 43 games, which is a remarkable average in anybody's baseball loop. In a game with the Denver Athletics, white, last week, Jeffries let the opposition down with five hits, then won his own game in the ninth by socking a triple with a man on the paths. Mace Jefferson, former Ledro Tiger player, is holding down an outfield post with the Giants and has developed into one of the Giants' most dependable hitters. Honor Metcalfe's Marks in Trying Sprint Records STOCKHOLM — Ralph Metcalfe's two tying marks in the 100-meters and 200-meters sprints were recognized by the International Amateur Athletic Federation, it was announced by the Associated Press Correspondent, Wednesday. Metcalfe ran the century in 10.3 seconds and the "200" in 20.6 seconds. Interviewed here last week as to the truth of the story that Jack Johnson had "laid down" to him in their memorable 26-round battle in Havana, Jess Willard, former heavyweight champion laughed at the notion. He would not say yes or no, but he did laugh and comment: "I have a stock answer for that one. All I can say is if Johnson did lay down, I certainly wish he had done it sooner. We fought for 26 rounds—one hour and 40 minutes in a sun that would have cooked your brains out. If he was going to quit, he might have done it sooner and saved us both a lot of hard work." est Clash Between d Georgetown in Nightcap of Twin Bill; Opening Contest With g Rally, 7-5 Two box-scores, one sent by the Georgetown scorer, the other by the Anacostia manager, show the game resume as described above. The former's ignores the sixth inning completely, while the latter's records 2 for Anacostia and the official "x" mark showing the lack of necessity for the Georgetown turn at bat Anacostia Triumphs The Greenmen captured the matinee frolic by counting 3 runs in the ninth inning to overcome a 5-4 lead enjoyed by Georgetown. The west-enders had originally overtaken an early Anacostia lead by pounding the offerings of the fast weakening Eddie Berry in the closing frames. The big Anacostia right hander gave way to Ossie Stewart in the eighth. Stewart also toed the slab in the abbreviated nightcap. He allowed 2 hits and fanned 6. His mound opponent, Brown, fanned 7.

LAST FRAME CLOUT SPOILS NO-HITTER Single by Carson Robs Buc Pitcher of No-hit Performance A lone hit off the bat of Carson, utility outfielder of the LeDroit Tigers, robbed Hammond, Washington Pirate pitcher, of a no-hit game when the two teams faced at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, last Sunday afternoon. The contest went to the Bucs by a score of 14-3. The LeDroites evened the score, however, by capturing the nightcap by a margin of 3-2. Allen Webster, Pirate left-handler, was injured when he fell while attempting to field Carson's bingle. The shoulder of his throwing arm was dislocated probably rendering him useless for the remainder of the season.

Last year the West won the classic, 11 to 7, Victory by the East, Sunday evens the score at a game a piece. They saw Satchel Paige, elongated Pittsburgh Crawford hurler, called by critics, the most effective and colorful pitcher in race baseball today, blind the best hitters the West could put in against him for three innings with his blazing speed and baffling change of pace, hunling aside the Willie Foster menace and practically having the West outfit eating out of his hand. The East scored their only and winning run off Foster in the eighth inning. Foster walked J. Bell. East's leadoff man, after a count of three balls and one strike.

Joe Maxwell, president A.C. Joe Maxwell, proprietor of Maxwell's Book Store, Walter Johnson, owner of Johnson's Liquor business, 900 Fourth Street, Southwest, and Doug Smith, Harlem Billiard Parlor operator, Ninth Street and Florida Avenue, Northwest, comprise the promoting trio. When the local Dales took the measure of the crack North Carolina outfit in the second game of a 3-game series by a score of 9-6, to even the score in games won, negotiations were immediately begun for the playing off of the final contest. The visitors, somewhat incensed at the Hillsdale victory, suggested that the "rubber" game be staged on a winner-take-all" basis. The locals' management accepted with little hesitancy. Peace Restored A week later, however, the North Carolina aggregation, through its local representatives, James (Fox) Dwiggins, assailed the policy of using Negro umpires. When a "black or nothing" ultimatum was delivered by the 'Dale management, however, an attempt was begun to iron out the difficulty with the result that use of Negro arbiters in the games is practically assured. The Winston-Salemites edged on Capital sandlots, poled a fast grounder through the pitcher's box out into center to count Bell.

Team Quits Tourney When Color Line is Drawn Springfield Baseball Outfit Withdraws from Competition in Gastonia, N. C., Following Ban Against Star Colored Pitcher; Coach Indignant GASTONIA,N.C. (ANP)—Southern entries in the American Legion junior baseball tournament here received a jolt, Wednesday, when the team from Springfield, Mass., was withdrawn from competition because the local hotel at which reservations had been made for members of the team, refused accommodations to Ernest Talliferro, the star pitcher and outfielder of the northern aggregation. The hotel management stated that the state law prohibited it from accepting a colored guest. Added to the attitude of the hotel, however, was the attitude of two of the southern teams which refused to play Springfield as long as Talliferro was in the line-up. Coach Sydney Harris of the Springfield team was indignant at the unsportsmanlike spirit found in his city. Although urged from Springfield to make a fight for recognition, he withdrew his team and wired home that he was withdrawn because the situation was too dangerous and the boys were threatened with violence. 6th TRACK TITLE WON BY GIRLS OF BARRY FARMS City Championship Easy Matter for Suburban White newspapers stated that an effort had been made to lodge the colored player with a colored doctor here, but The Associated Neuro Press interviewed the one colored pharmacist and two physicians here who stated that they were not approached. Coach Harris received word from springfield that city officials and region officers were protesting the treatment he received. They were also demanding that his team be allowed to enter the finals in Chicago. In refusing to play without Ernest, Harris stated that the play of his team was built around the colored boy. Mayor Henry Martens of Springfield, telegraphed Frank Samuels, national adjutant of the American Legion. Thursday: "Public indignation here at treatment accorded Springfield Post junior baseball team at Gastonia, N.C., leads me to urge your organization to accede to request for participation of Springfield team in Chicago playoff." Commander William R. Connelly of the Springfield Legion post said that as a result of the incident here the National Legion "is faced with the clear question of whether it will choose to stand by the principles it professes, or whether it will permit intimidation by a group apparently uninterested in fair play or the spirit of a free America." On the day the Springfield team arrived here, Talliferro ate lunch and dinner in the hotel in question. During practice with the team he hit three home runs. LEWIS INSTALLED AS 'FORCE COACH WILBERFORCE, Ohio. (ANP)—Gaston "Country" Lewis, for seven years football coach at Alabama State Teachers' College, has been named new gridiron mentor for Wilberforce's 1934 edition of the "Green Wave," and will supplant Harry Graves who resigned several months ago. Lewis is one of Wilberforce's own sons, and a native of Ohio's soil, having been born in Green County, 13 miles from the institution. He is a Wilberforce graduate of 1926. He played football for two years here under the tutelage of Harry "Big Jeff" Jefferson and two years under Coach Graves. He is an advocate of the Warner system in opposition to the Rockne theory as expounded by several Negro coaches. He is also a successful coach of baseball, track and basketball. He prepped at Cedar Creek high school in Green County. Hampton Coaching Course Ready to Open HAMPTON INSTITUTE. — Hampton's first coaching school, which will begin Monday and last through Saturday promises to provide one of the busiest and most important weeks in the history of Negro athletics. The course, designed to make available to every school] and college course the latest methods and coaching techniques, will bring together some of the nation's foremost athletes and coaches of both races. It is certain to bring about a change in some of the policies of both high school and college coaches. By selecting Coaches Eddie Hurt of Morgan and Johnny Burr of Howard to serve as instructors along with Andy Kerr of Colgate, Hampton's Athletic Director has dealt a severe blow to the belief that only coaches of "big white college" teams know anything about sports. 6th TRACK TITLE WON BY GIRLS OF BARRY FARMS 6th TRACK TITLE WON BY GIRLS OF BARRY FARMS City Championship Easy Matter for Suburban Girl Runners Scoring 70 points, the Barry Farms Playground girls easily captured the city championship for the sixth consecutive year in the annual titular track meet for girls held at Walker Stadium, Thursday with over 800 female athletes participating.

My car, weighing over 5,000 pounds, miles per hour, breaking 77 World, International and Ameri- can Speed Records--all without tire trouble of any kind. Firestone Tires gave an almost unbelievable performance in this run, particularly when you realize that the holes temperatures were as high as 120 degrees and that the holes in the course had been filled with crushed rock that was hard as flint and had knife sharp edges. This endurance run was the severest test to which I have ever subjected any automobile and especially tires. Last year I made a similar run with a car of less power and less speed using tires of another make whose national advertising featured blowout protection. Yet, I had a blowout and made a number of tire changes. This year I also used Firestone Spark Plugs and a Firestone Extra Power Battery made with your new All-Rubber Separator. Not a Spark Plug failed and the Battery required no service of any kind. If every car owner knew what my Firestone Tires went through they would appreciate what Gum-Dipping means in strength and heat protection that make Firestone Tires safe from blowouts. This is the toughest run I have ever made in my twenty-three years of breaking speed records and after a shor stay here I am coming East.

Wilbur Shaw, using widely advertised competitive tires, had eleven tire failures, preventing him from establishing records worthy of the car he was driving. Lake Bonneville, Utah Aug. 13th, 1934 Mr. Harvey S. Firestone, Chairman, Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio Dear Mr. Firestone: I have just finished a 2,000 mile test run on the salt base at Lake Bonneville, Utah, driving a stock car of a leading automobile manufacturer. This car was equipped with a nationally known brand of tires which a large manufacturer has recently brought out as the newest development in tire construction and for which their 1934 advertising has made many extra-agent testing and performance claims. With these tires on this run I had eleven tire failures and made two presumably tire changes. When a right front tire blow out, my car left the truck and I was unable to get it under control for a quarter of a mile, leaving a trail of rubber and fabric on the hot salt beds. After an experience of this kind, I appreciate more than ever what a vital part Firestone Gum-Digged Tires have played in my success during the fourteen years I have used them on my racing and personal cars. Without them I know that I could never have made the many speed records that I have established. I understand that you expect to be in California soon and if convenient, I would like to see you.

New York, so they tell us, is just about ready to go “za ga” over Ray Moore, he of theeRhode Island Avenue Moores, the Club Prudhom Moores and the Howard Thea- tre Moores. In his first few weeks as master of ceremonies at the Harlem Opera House, the elongated former Em Cee of the one-time cream of local night clubsyhas stood a city which stays on its head, on its head some more. New Yorkers were not unfamiliar with the Moore figure when it was first'put in the headline role at the Opera House. But few of them knew of the potentialities that figure possessed. He seemed always to he cast in subordnate roles in even the most niediocre of revues. For example, Capital theatre-goers will recall that on his last appearance here, Moore simply lay under the piano on the Howard stage and played “stooge” for one of the innumerable ordinary biack-faces. Harlemites who have seen him in his new part will now be heard asking the question, “How in thy name of hell have they kept this guy in the background so long”? Which all goes to prove that the young- ster who used to hang around 711 Rhode Island Avenue—and incident- ally a coupla our girls—has finally gotten his chance, and is going places. wae ss I see where Bobby Gaston, former Chicago songbird and one of the most popular femmes doing stae duty if Washingtonians are to be lis- tened to, “wowed” the New York Apollo Theatre patrons during the past week. ee eee On their recent trip across the pond the Mills Brothers opened at the Palladium Theatre and in the cabaret of the fashionable Mayfair Hotel on the same night, Monday. They were such a hit that they were immediately invited to appear in the annual Command Performance before the King and Queen on Tuesday night. Three American pictures in which the Mills Brothers were featured were showing simultaneously azound Leicester Square and Piccadilly | Circus—‘Opera 13” which was released .in Britain as “Spy 13° at the Empire, “Twenty Million Sweethearts” at the Carlton and “Strictly Dynamite” at the Plaza. Other theatres hooked Mille Brothers. shorts in order to capitalize on their tremendous popularity. They were busy between shows at the Palladium making special phonograph re- cords for immediate European release.

Original plans had it that Ellington was to play the yarlety theatres and double into one nighters for dance engagements, Later plans are to keep Duke and the boys on this vide of the pond until the releasing of the forthecming Mae West Paramount picture, pBelle of the 90's” or “It Ain't No Sin,” to you, in which the Ellington band participated. When it is released, which’ is expected within the next two weeks, joint bookings for both band and picture will bob up, and there you have the combination. Arving Mills, Ellington's manager, has received word from his Lon- don agent that the Variety Artists’ Federation is backing the impartas Hon of Ellington for unlimited ergagemens in England on the promise it's an usual artistic organization and the original September-October engagements will probably be consummated later in the fall and winte.

Later, the Rosenwald Fund and others came to the sup- port of the production, As planned by Mr. Sissle and Onah B.

Dominant in the life of the na tives was the tom tom, the: lugubri- ous accompaniment to their dances and their worship, Itstremulous rhythms pervaded all their comings and their goings. Until the coming of the white man, their chief enemy had been the beasts of the jungle. Into their simple life, the Portu- guese broke bearing guns. So sim- ple were the natives that they broke away from their celebrations to run to welcome. the invaders. who shot them down, captured their king, and enslaved them. Songs Born The “ghest ship” brought them to America to work in the cotton fields and to learn a new worship. The plantation songs were born. After the travail of slavery, came emancipation, ani the new day with Booker’ T.. Washington and the gift of song which the Negro was to give to the world. The African dances were staged by Katherine Dunham, Hazel Thompson Davis, Sammy Dyer and Prince Modupe; those for slavery days by Sadie Bruce and Carrie- belle Plummer.

WHEATLAND (Continued from page 1 ) tuition, purchasing medical books, etc. that he was entirely without money for room rent and board. He served as a waiter in some of the boarding houses of Washington his first year in school, and during the summer worked at summer resorts where by "hopping bells," or waiting, he accumulated money enough to defray his second year's expenses. Graduating from the Howard University Medical School in 1895, he borrowed money with which to settle his obligations with the university so that he might secure his diploma and return to Boston to practice his profession. Later he decided to remove to Newport, Rhode Island, where he came to be recognized as one of that exclusive resort's leading physicians. Member of Learned Societies Dr. Wheatland was a member of the Newport Medical Society, Rhode Island Medical Society, American Medical Society, American Electro-Therapeutic Association, American Association for Advancement of Science and the American Anthropological Society of which he was one of the founders. He was a collaborator in the publication of Advanced Therapeutics, the official organ of the American Electro-Therapeutic Association. He was also a constant contributor to scientific and medical journals, and among the many papers to his credit the following have been of great importance: "The Value of Electricity in Gynecological Work of the General Practicioner;" "The Diffusion of Iodine by the Electric Current" and "The Therapeutic Application of the X-ray." Graduated in 1895 Graduating with Dr. Wheatland at Howard in 1995 were a number of other physicians and surgeons who came to high rank in their profession, including Dr. Charles I. West, his friend ever afterward, who was with him the last week of his life, and at the time of his death; the late Dr. Michel O. Dumas, of Washington, D. C., also a trustee of Howard University; Dr. Harry W. Furniss, now of Hartford, Conn., who was for so many Years United States Minister to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti; Dr. Leroy S. Morris, of Atlantic City, New Jersey Dr. W. A. Jack D. N. I.—Will I graduate in the mid-term? Ans.: It is not likely that you will receive your diploma in the mid-term. Make your course a little drawn out and try to finish in JUNE, as to enter into college in the middle of the year you di not have as large a selection of studies as you do the first of the term. F. M. B.—Will I receive a sum of money that will be given to me any time soon? Ans.: If you receive a sum of money it will be through a job and not what your MOTHER-IN-LAW will give you. You will be her daughter for several years before she gives you a sum of money that will amount to anything. M. L.H.—Please tell me why my husband and myself can't seem to get along. Ans: Your husband has grown to be jealous of you and it is his idea that he can't TRUST you like he once did. If you intend to make a go of your marriage you will have to show him that you can be trusted and that there is no one elst in your life. S. F.—I am expecting company in the near future and I wonder if I will be disappointed again for they have been planning to come squamous DM 107 Ans: You may rest assured that they will reach your home this time. The reason that your SON and his WIFE did not come to your home last month is because your DAUGHTER could not arrange to leave. The three of them will not disappoint you again. P. K. N.—I had a quarrel with my girl friend and she left. Can you tell me where she has gone to for I want her back? Ans.: You won't get her back for she is a MRS. now. You had your chance to marry her and refused and she was determind not to live a single life and married the other man. He will make her a good husband and you should not interfere with her happiness in any way. J. T.—Should I leave here or wait until times get better? famous surgeon of Washington, D.C., and Dr. J. Thomas Stanford, of Philadelphia. Dr. W. A. Warfield, who for 33 years has been Surgeon-in-Chief of Freedmen's Hospital, at Washington, D.C., intermed with Dr. Wheatland at Freedmen's Hospital. Funeral Services The funeral was largely attended by white and colored citizens of Newport, rich and poor alike, the audience being about evenly divided between the races. The funeral services were conducted by the Reverend Harold St. George Burrill, rector of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church of Newport. Dr. William H. Thomas, pastor of the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, of Washington, D.C., a life-long friend, delivered the eulogy. The Howard University Board of Trustees was represented by Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president. Surviving Dr. Wheatland rae his daughter, Mrs. Helen Wheatland Burrell, Department of Romance Languages, College of Liberal Arts, Howard University, a graduate of Wellesley College, and Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, Jr., a graduate of Lincoln University and of the Howard University Medical School. Bequeathes $6,000 to Howard In addition to the medical degree which he received from Howard University in 1895, the honorary degree of M. A. was conferred upon him by his alma mater in 1906, and Wilberforce University conferred upon him the degree, Doctor of Laws in 1911. Dr. Wheatland owned considerable property in Newport and was generally reputed to be quite wealthy. It will interest the friends of Howard University to know that in his will he bequeathed $6,000 to the university. For more than 20 years Dr. Wheatland served as a member of the board of trustees of Howard University, and at the time of his death was a member of two important standing committees of the Board—Committee on Degrees and Committee on Medical School. Schools and colleges for Negroes have generally failed to adjust their requirements and offerings in terms of the background of students; to their programs to their students' varying needs and capacities; and to fully utilize their best materials. This is partially shown by frequent retardation and failure of superior students, by acceleration of inferior ones, and by the meagre curriculum and extracurriculum offerings. Nearly nine-tenths of all accredited high schools for Negroes have been accredited since 1920. Ans.: If you wait until that time what will you feed your hungry children on while you wait? If you can't support them now with your present, business, sell-out your POOL ROOM and start working for a salary. It will get you nowhere to stay there and go further in debt. M. P.—Should I get a divorce or what is best? Ans.: Your husband will RETURN—but it is not fair for you to wait until he makes up his mind to do the right thing by you. Look out for your own welfare and let him do likewise. A. G.—Does my friend really mean to quit me? Ans.: He does, for he is infatuated with another girl and believes that he cares more for her. If you wish to win him back you can't do it with TEARS for he does not like this kind of thing. Dress yourself up and look your best and make new friends and he will soon be on his way back to you. R. E. T.—Will I have success if I take the trip I am planning? Ans.: The only way you will ever collect this bill is to go after it. Your BROTHER will never mail it to you like he promised. Take the trip. G.T.—What is wrong with my husband and what should I do? Ans.: You should carry your husband to a good doctor for it is not normal for anyone to have the kind of SPELLS that he is suffering with so often. If he has immediate attention I believe he will be relieved without any difficulty. J. L.—My husband has left me twice, and came back each time, and now he is here and said he was going to make life very happy for me but he won't help me any. What am I to do? Ans.: He is only looking for a good boarding place FREE of charge and he knew that you would take him in. Tell him if he expects to live in your home he will either have to pay board or see to it he takes care of the house as it should. Make him go to work. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 1, 1934 LYNCH LAW 1776 This old walnut tree near Alta Vista, Va., is traditionally credited with being the scene of the original "lynch law" in Revolutionary days. The tree stands about 100 yards west of route 29, 2 miles north of Alta Vista, Va. An historical marker of the Virginia highway commission tells the story. The marker states that "100 yards west stand a walnut tree, under which Col. Charles Lynch, William Preston, Robert Adams, Jr., James Callaway and others held an informal court for the trial of tories and criminals, 1780. Punishment usually consisted of whipping. From this rude justice the term "Lynch law" was evolved. Contemporary tradition contends that it was John Lynch, founder of Lynchburg, and brother of Col. Charles Lynch, who was the original Judge Lynch. It is claimed that he used this summary method to rid the neighborhood of outlaws and escaped slaves.

The committee on resolutions protested the action of the Maryland courts for restraining colored persons from picketing stores where colored persons are refused employment. The resolution aimed at the Maryland court also flayed the courts for enjoining the Negro press from urging Negroes to boycott stores which do a large business among colored persons, but refuse to employ them. Other resolutions passed included an appeal for Negroes to take part in political and governmental programs, urged Negroes to use the ballot, named a committee of three to call on the President and the Attorney General to urge the appointment of Negro lawyers as Federal judges, protested to the governor of Alabama the further prosecution of the Scottsboro cases and the immediate release of the nine boys charged with rape, protests to the President and the Secretary of the Interior the discrimination against Negroes in excluding them from equal benefit in Homestead subsistence projects, the right of Negro labor to organize, abolition of photographs in civil service examinations and a new constitution and body of laws be enacted for the government of the Virgin Islands insuring the same guarantee of rights and privileges as to the franchise and personal liberties to the Islanders as to the citizens of the mainland. Members of the committee on resolutions were Warner T. McGuinn, Baltimore; C. Francis Stradford, Chicago; Charles H. Houston, Washington; Jesse S. Heslip, Toledo; W. Justin Carter, Harrisburg, Pa., and Raymond Pace Alexander, Philadelphia. The association also endorsed the work of the Joint Committee on National Recovery of which John P. Davis, of Washington, is executive secretary.

WHITE ROSE WHISKEY A Great Drink at a Low Price 59c PINT THE FIREHOUSE The third of the three buildings being erected at this time at Howard University is a high tension heat, light and power plant to meet the immediate and future heeds of that growing institution. The sum of $460,000 have already been made available by the public Works Administration for this structure. The university authorities entertain the hope that an additional $68,000 will be provided so as to round out the plant in the best manner possible. The outside appearance of the building will reflect the general character of the buildings now in process of erection. The heat, light and power plant building will be 78 feet high and cover a ground area of 8,563 square feet. A chimney, 10 feet in diameter, will rise 120 feet above the sidewalk. The plant will have an ultimate capacity of 4,000 horsepower. The picture above indicates the location of the new plant on the site of the old Mott School Building, where the work of construction has begun. Albert I. Cassell, architect, has been responsible for the architectural plans and specifications, and has had the engineering co-operation of M. K. Wilberding, of the Francis R. Weller Co., Inc., and J. F. Barkeley, of the United States Bureau of Mines. He is also responsible for the plans and specifications of the other two buildings now in process of construction, the Educational Class Room Building, at a cost of $460,000; the Chemistry Building, for which there has been made available $475,000, and the new Library Building, which is to cost $800,000. This is the largest architectural and construction program going forward at an educational institution for youth under a colored architect anywhere in the country. this city, is seventeen years of age and a student in the public schools of Washington. Judges were Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Howard Uni- versity; George E. Lee, and Theodore Green. The award, a check for $150, was presented to Miss Francis by Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson.

In the children’s ward, according to the Herald-Tribune, | Dempsey shook hands with the little colored girl who had fallen from a tree. A nurse asked her if she knew who was shaking her hand, “Sure, it’s Jack Dempsey,” she said with a smile. The mayor then shook hands with her, but she didn’t know him: Then to make up for her ignorance af the identity she offered him a flower, which he accepted.

WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 1,1934 Should Clean House That the government is to blame for the large number of persons living in uninhabitable houses and responsible for gouging landlords who are taking advantage of families on relief, is clearly brought out by the fact that those on relief are not permitted to pay above a certain sum for rent. If more is paid they are declared ineligible for relief. The amount allocated for rent is entirely too small to secure a decent house and many persons unemployed have been forced to rent shacks in the many courts and alleys of the District. Landlords have taken advantage of the families on relief by renting a number of these hovels and subletting them to families at exorbitant prices. In most cases, as has been published in The Tribune, two and sometimes three families live in one of these so-called one- and two-room apartments. In one instance ten persons were found living in one room. They were herded together in order to save rent, although they were charged at a much higher rate than the better class apartments rent for. One landlord was receiving $50 a month from several families who were inmates of one shack. Several similar shacks are owned by the government and rented to gouging landlords, who in turn charge high rents to families on relief. The government could set an excellent example by at least fixing up its own property and seeing that the families are not robbed by unscruppious landlords. If such conditions are permitted to prevail, the government is as guilty as the landlords. The Dean Belies Himself In a recent article Dean Pickens asks the question, "Does it pay to work for the white folks or to work for the race?" The Dean implies that it pays to work for the white folks and points out how the servants of Marie Dressler were left a fortune and how those who spend their lives working for the race die poor. We doubt whether the Dean really meant what his article implied. The for the race quite a few years and we NAACP firebrand has been working doubt if he would accept a job working for the white folks, regardless of the pay, as long as he could make bread and butter working for his race. After all, Dean Pickens and the rest of us know it isn't the money we get out of jobs so much as the pleasure of working in one's chosen field. What does it matter as long as one has the satisfaction of knowing that one has done his best and has in a small degree added to the well-being of his people? The servants of Marie Dressler are already forgotten, but the work of Dean Pickens, Nannie Burroughs, W. E. B. DuBois, Walter White and a host of others will be a monument for years to come. Making Race Leaders The Washington Tribune is launching upon a constructive program that is designed to make future race leaders out of its present newsboys. The Tribune hopes to teach its boys what the position of the Negro newspaper is in Negro community life, and how they can help as race workers while serving with a Negro newspaper. The Negro has little protection in the community outside of the Negro newspaper. He abides by laws made by white congressmen, and enforced by white policemen. Jobs are issued out and denied by whites. Justice is meted out by whites. A white press reports daily events of interest. Who is there to safeguard the interests of the Negro? Without a Negro press the Negro is defenseless. Seldom will his accomplishments be exploited. His social life will never become public. Injustice against him will be overlooked, and propaganda against him will be rampant. The Negro press must lead, coordinate the work of the school, the church and other worthy institutions, must protect the Negro. The Tribune wishes to teach these facts to its newsboys, that they might teach those who do not know, or have forgotten. The Negro newspaper should have the full support of all sensible people. These boys should be encouraged. You can help—making Race Leaders In business, each day is a fresh adventure. Add's swell that ends well. The Negro in the Coming Campaign Will Think a Bit The party which in the plenitude of its power allowed the human rights of the Constitution to be trampled down with impunity now fills the air with frantic protestations of reverence and devotion, at the time of its impatience and defeat. During the past three or four national elections I have acquired the habit of applying the quadrennial query to my genial friend, Perry Howard: "What appeal do you expect to make to the colored voters to keep them in line for the G.O.P.?" Hitherto, he has relied on antiquarian platitudes and the fertility of his own resourcefulness to shape the argument to the issue. Now Perry Howard is as good a Republican as there is alive, and as adept as any in political acuteness and strategy. While he is national committeeman from the state of Mississippi, he has been assigned, and has accepted the function to keep the black brother faithful to the fold. He is national committeeman at large, in the sense that Oscar DePriest is congressman at large—for the whole colored race. The ancient and hoary arguments of both Howard and DePriest failed lamentably during the '32 campaign. The colored brother decided to take the bit in his own teeth and follow his intellect instead of his emotion for political guidance. THERE ARE FEW NON-THINKING VOTERS The fact is, the American people are no longer held in hard and fast bonds of partizan allegiance. There are still a considerable residue of moss-back Republicans and Bourbon Democrats, but the decisive weight of the American electorate has liberated itself from the bonds of partizan allegiance. Millions of former Democrats voted for Hoover in 1928, and still more millions of erstwhile Republicans voted for Roosevelt in 1932. The South and the Negro have been considered the two unspitable blocks in American politics. But the '32 election split the solid South in twain, the same as the '32 election did for the Negro. The South and the Negro have been the block-heads of national politics and will continue to be so as long as they remain solid. All of Perry Howard's and Oscar DePriest's men can never put this black Humpty Dumpty together again. The outcome of the last Presidential election was not a Democratic victory in any strict partizan sense. Had the Democrats been in power under then existing conditions, the upturn would have been no less impressive. The time had come for a new dealing of the cards. Both the Republican and the Democratic platforms were woefully inadequate. When Roosevelt realized the conditions which faced his incoming administration, he turned his back on things that had passed, and boldly declared for a New Deal. Herein lies the only issue which confronts the electorate, white and black, in the impending election. Ancient appeals to bygone political history will fall on deaf ears. The past glories of the Grand Old Party and its by gone benefactions to the Negro are buried in the grave with Lincoln, Grant and Theodore Roosevelt. LOYAL ALLEGIANCES PETERING OUT The traditional unfriendliness of the Democratic Party and the South have faded away in the light of what is transpiring under the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The New Deal, forgetting the things that have passed, presses forward to conditions as they are now and are destined to be in the immediate and early future. The race question, as such, is finally eliminated from politics. The Negro voter, like his white fellow, must deal with the New Deal as the dominant economic and political principle. That the Negro will sustain injustices and inequities under the New Deal as under the old might as well be expected as long as race prejudice plays so strong a role. The Negro should and will use his franchise to reduce these inequities to a minimum. There is no human likelihood that the Republican Party will succeed or that the New Deal will be overthrown. The stars never turn backward in their course. The erstwhile great and glorious Grand Old Party has been reduced to a harrassing minority without any firm political principle or reasonable hope. CERTIFICATE SUGGESTED FOR G.O.P. FIDELITY There will be resourceful and patriotic candidates on the Republican ticket which must needs carry its compliment of candidates to keep up its organizational regularity. Many of these candidates for the House and Senate will command white and colored support. But any purely partisan Republican vote in the fall election is merely wasted devotion. I suggest to Perry Howard and Oscar Despriest, our leaders in federal politics, that they have printed a certificate of undying fidelity to the G.O.P. to be awarded to every Negro who avows his undying partizan fidelity by his vote next November. They deserve to go down to history with the Grant bloc of 306 in 1876. It should be framed along with the names of the duple coordinating committee with whom President Hoover condescended to pose just prior to the November election, against the background of the White House. RETURN TO CONSTITUTIONALISM CONSIDERED A FARCE The loud talk about the return to constitutionalism does not interest the Negro; on the other hand, it amuses him. The party which in the plenitude of its power allowed the human rights of the Constitution to be trampled down with impunity now fills the air with frantic protestations of reverence and devotion, at the time of its impatience and defeat. Nor is that portion of the Constitution which is now invoked the part that appeals especially and particularly to the Negro. Whatever of dictatorship may be necessary to put over the New Deal has no terrors for the black voter. Experience shows that he has gained most from a strong central government at Washington. The Negro, if he is wise, will not, in the fall election, vote for a reactionary and obstructive movement against the New Deal, but rather for the members of the House and Senate who will insist that the New Deal shall be a Square Deal. The kind of literature we read has much to do with the making of us. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 1, 1934 Our Readers' Opinions Readers of the Tribute are requested to send in letters expressing their opinions on subjects of general interest. Confine letters to 200 words or less, sign name, address, and gift address and telephone number. Names will not be published if so requested. This Writer Thinks "The Washington Blue Book" is a Lot of Mush. To the Editor: Of all the moronic absurdities this blue book affair wins the ice skates. It is pathetic to observe how easy a hungry white man can cash in one the gullibility and childish vanity of our people. By what standard will the candidates be accepted or rejected? By generations of wealth and culture? If so a blank page will do the job. By achievement, some say. All right, let us be honest and analyze this suggestion. In the city of Washington there are hundreds employed in the field of education with degrees of every sort but you can count on your right hand all who like Alain Locke, Carter Woodson, Benjamin Brawley, and Kelly Miller who have won national recognition among the best elements of both races for their published contributions to American cultural developments in outstanding periodicals in this country and abroad. Among the numerous younger group holding higher academic degrees, even outside of the Washington scene, little or no creative contributions have been forthcoming. The outstanding creative literary contributions that are actually read and accepted are those of Langston Hughes, Zora Hurston, and Countee Cullen. The former I learn is yet an undergraduate student of Lincoln University. Let us glance into the professional group Among the lawyers, Judge Cobb, Charles Houston, Ben Gaskins, John Wilson, George Hayes are the only ones who have established professional reputations outside of Washington with exception of two younger men, Belford Lawson and J. F. Derricotte. Among the physicians, Drs. Warfield, Curtis, and Carson with the exception of a few younger men on the Howard faculty are the only ones whose names are outstanding among their professional associates of the N.M.A. Many of the professional element enjoy lacrative practices but that does not alone represent achievement since many quacks enjoy equally as lacrative practices. If the eligible names in the Blue Book represent real social and cultural value in the District of Columbia, a two-page pamphlet will adequately serve the purpose. Why print a book with mostly nothing in it? The rigid censors of a similar project a few years ago that was nation-wide in scope made a celebrity of anyone who had ten dollars to spare. I believe the Washington Blue Book will be a tremendous success in that the eligibles after paying up will have their childish ego appeased and the white sponsor will, as usual, take good care of the cash. The Views in the Article Referred to Were Those of Dean Pickens, Not the Tribune. To the Editor: "Does it pay to work for the white folks, or does it pay to work for the race?" In a recent issue of the Tribune this question was asked and impliedly answered to the effect that "it pays to work for the white folks," because of the fact that Marie Dressler, famous movie star, surprised both elements of the nation by leaving $50,000 to her race servants. First of all most of us will admit that this is somewhat an unusual thing; so unusual that it would not pay most of us who are working for the race to give up our jobs and go to work for the white folks with a similar object in view. The article stated that "those who work for the race (even such men as J. A. Rogers and W. E. B. DuBois) are wasting their time because there can be no hope for such reward or equal pay for service rendered." How can we build a race if our thoughts are like this, how can we build the race unless we work together? Shall we work for the white man? Of course, we shall and do so gladly, but the day seems to be dawning when the white man will not allow us to. We can never hope to reach the heights by working for him. He will cease to support us when we seek to climb. To rise and stay the race must work one for the other and one with the other. Reward? There will be a reward—one greater than that of Marie Dressler—one that the race will share and appreciate. Build business and build industry out of the race, with the race and the reward is there. There is no other way to reach the heights. If we do work for the white man, work for the black man too. Boost your race grocers, your race insurances, your race papers and don't look for, for pay, for it will surely be like the rain that pours upon the grass. It will cause them to spring up. Is this a reward? It will be a reward to the soul of black folk to see his brethren growing into a nation. Alas, if we work for the race and the race works for us the reward is certain, but I fear that those of the other side who have hearts like that of Marie Dressler are so few that it would hardly pay to desert your race position to give 25 years of domestic service hoping to be treated better, paid better, or rewarded. F. N. JOHNSON, 1418 Hopkins Street, Northwest. You're Welcome To the Editor: The Executive Committee of the 14th Annual Educational Conference has given me the authority to express to you our sincere appreciation for the services rendered by The Washington Tribune. We feel that we owe the successful outcome of our sessions to the assistance you gave hence we are sending this letter of thanks. Addressed to a Young Lady Sweet stream, that winds through yonder glade. Apt emblem of a virtuous maid— Silent and chaste she steals along. Far from the world's gay busy throng; With gentle yet prevailing force, Intent upon her destined course; Graceful and useful all she does. Blessing and blest wherever she goes, Pure bosom'd as that watery glass, And heaven reflected in her face. —WILLIAM COWPER. The laborer who earns more than he demands will soon get more than he demands. Some good men are humiliated if not destroyed, for lack of knowledge. A sense of humor is the real fountain of youth. HARLAN A. CARTER Chairman Publicity, Y.M.C.A., New York City. Pickens Thinks Good Will Come of Long's Trickery The NRA - An Interpretation By Wm. PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) I am afraid that many people, even colored people, do not get the significance of Huey Long's present "labor's" in Louisiana. He is a product of the system invented to disfranchise and deciitizenize the weak. Having got rid of the weak, the "strong" have now divided into two factions and each faction is trying to get hold of the tricky weapon which they forged to use against the weak: namely, the machinery of "registration" and "primaries" control. They know, for example, that whichever side controls registration and primary voting is unbeatable. How do they know it? Because they made their new "constitution" and sham laws so that they could disfranchise any Negro in Louisiana from a university graduate to a field hand. The tricky system which they set up would make it legally possible for them to disfranchise Franklin Delano Roosevelt and all his family and cabinet. That is why I am rooting for Huey; he is doing what of course he does not mean to do; he is showing up the rotten system which he and the others have created. Negro Can't Help Now that they have downed and ousted the weak, each faction among the strong is afraid for the opposing faction to get possession of the deadly weapon which they together have forged against the weak. Colored leaders tried to warn the decent whitees of the south a quarter of a century ago, when they were supporting unfair measures designed to "get rid of the Negro vote," that they were creating a Frankenstein which might any day be turned against the decent white vote of the south. Huey is about to fulfill the prophecy. He is an unwitting "scourge of God." The preachers say that God This guide has been compiled as a means of assisting the discussion of the aims, methods, and accomplishments of the National Recovery Advisory委员会 by individuals for their own information or by adult classes already organized for study. The NRA is itself a forum for the consideration of a variety of points of interest, such as issues by media conferences, consultations, and hearings. Out of these deliberations come ways and means of cooperative action. The NRA is thus a process which uses democratic methods. It provides the means for men of all ages and of men can devise fair rules for the conduct of business. It further sets up machinery whereby the rules may be revised from time to time. Interpretation of what the NRA is and also gives hints and suggestions of methods for organizing study groups and forums and other useful data. Inquiries for further information will be made by the NRA and efforts undertaken by the NRA can be fully and fairly tested only by whole-hearted participation on the part of the people. (Continued from last week) 9. The Work of Compliance Violations of codes of fair competition fall into two groups; those involving labor provisions and those involving trade practices. The aim is that each code authority shall eventually handle the ordinary work of administration. Each authority is asked to establish appropriate staffs as rapidly as possible, so that it can discharge the function it is called upon to perform. When that is accomplished for an industry, the NRA will concern itself only with questions which the code authorities themselves cannot settle. Meanwhile, the NRA established a thorough procedure for handling all types of complaints and alleged violations. Labor disputes involving strikes, lock-outs and the right to bargain collectively are being adjusted through the regional and national labor boards, previously described Complaints in regard to violations of code provisions, other than labor disputes, are now being handled in three different ways: (1) By the code authority in the industry alone if properly organized so as to be authorized by NRA to do so; (2) by the NRA agencies of compliance alone; (3) by the two working together. The State NRA compliance directors are responsible for compliance within their States, in addition to their duties as State directors of the National Emergency Council. They are assisted by experts in labor and trade practices. In some States branch offices have been established. These State offices employ expert field adjusters who go to the scene of the complaint. Anybody may make a complaint of a code violation preferably in writing and signed. But verbal and anonymous complaints are also acted upon if they appear to be substantial. Of course, complaints can be adjusted more readily if the adjuster is able to interview the compliant. Names of persons making complaints are kept absolutely confidential, unless they specifically approve, in writing, of having their names revealed. Special forms for filing are available through the offices of the State directors (for their addresses, see appendix C which will be printed later), although the use of the form is not essential. The State director endeavors to make a satisfactory adjustment of all cases brought to his attention, unless it appears that the person "Has the N. A. A. C. P. Segregated Itself?" asks Dungee Houston uses both the wicked and the righteous, the evil and the good, to forward His purposes. Now we see the spectacle; the "decent" white hypocrites who helped the Huey Long type to "get rid of the Negro vote," now have their "decent" backs to the wall, and the decent Negroes who were disfranchised are powerless to come to their aid. If they could vote today, undoubtedly the great majority of Louisiana Negroes would stand against political trickery and tampering with elections. It is the disadvantaged and minority who always have the greatest interest against tampering with election machinery—against trickery in the management of elections. Huey Has New Tricks As it is, Huey is not even satisfied with the tricks invented to use against the Negroes; he has had three other bills passed by his lature to make sure of his opposing whites. He is to have Louisiana by the tail with a down-hill pull. There are other states, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina who have similar pet "monsters" in their systems of law which may some day be turned against any efforts they make for reform. Just now, however, Louisiana seems to about to hit the political bottom in America, as it long held the educational bottom in both its white and its colored populations. It was Booker T. Washington who used to exclaim when he was trying to sting the pride of Alabama whites into a better deal for education in general and for Negro education in participer: "Thank God for Louisiana; it keeps Alabama from being at the bottom." Many other southern states can thank God for Huey Long, if he succeeds in demonstrating to them the universal danger of the traps which they have set to snare the weak. In the last analysis an evil system will not discriminate "along the color line." complained against is a willful, flagrant violator, when he turns the case directly over to the district attorney for prosecution. If the adjustment is unsatisfactory to any of the parties, an appeal may be made to the State adjustment board, composed of an equal number of employees and employers and a chairman representing the public. If the Board cannot adjust the complaint it is referred to the Compliance Division of the NRA in Washington. The Compliance Division insures that the case is properly brought to the attention of the appropriate Deputy Administrator. He may decide that the case indicates an exception to or modification of the code, or he may send the case to the National Compliance Board for a public hearing on the case and possible removal of the Blue Eagle, or reference to the Litigation Division for enforcement in cooperation with the Department of Justice or the Federal Trade Commission. The last two Departments are the enforcement agencies of the Federal Government. (See Bulletin No. 7 National Recovery Administration, Manual for the Adjustment of Complaints by State Directors and Code Authorities.) Protracted "adjustment" efforts are not undertaken unless there appears to be a misunderstanding. State directors are authorized to transmit evidence of code violations direct to Federal district attorneys, without the necessity of reference to Washington. Code authorities or their adjustments agencies may similarly refer By Drusilla Dunjee Houston (For A.N.P.) Absent from the National Association are the faces of the white friends who hand in hand with DuBois and Moorefield Storey founded the N.A.A.C.P. Only Mary White Ovington remains. It is an undoubted fact that the Association is segregating itself. One of the first intentions of the founders was that hand in hand white and colored lovers of justice should work out the problems of securing for the Negro his rights. Just why has it come about that whites now absent themselves from the national meetings? Is it as Jerome Dowd says, that we have not the friends that we had in the past. Jane Addams, Colonel Spingarn Oswald Garrison Villard are still at heart for the ultimate goal, some of them are aging; some may think that the growing strong intellectually does not need them or did we lack in cordiality and appreciation as a race? Did race apathy discourage them? We Should Get Busy We ought to be somewhat busy answering these questions and awakening our race to a better understanding of the great work that the N.A.A.C.P. has done and can do for a united people. We must not depart from the great program first laid down, the working side by side of patriotic white and black Americans for a better America. Segregation is wrong. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Do not be ashamed to confess the opportunity of acquiring knowledge. The writer of this column was cance, to the organized labor movement employee in particular, of the O. Relations Board in the now famous Saturday when this significance was wished with Miss Esther Penn, secret of Government Employees which is the occasion of Labor. This decision (it seems) not of Government workers to organize a cause for disband but it also—in all probability pave a board of appeals to which control may be brought. The case began while I was on a position to give you all of the readers of this column, a friend, of on the Committee on Reinstatement lodges of the American Federation or affiliates, knows all of the developing and has consented to summary.

After all, we are in the opportunity to cooperate in constant which all Government employees color. And this can only be accomplished of "rugged individualism" is passed. Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES Do not be ashamed to confess your ignorance whenever you see an opportunity of acquiring knowledge. The writer of this column was absolutely ignorant of the significance, to the organized labor movement in general and the colored Federal employee in particular, of the decision of the recently formed Labor Relations Board in the now famous John L. Donovan case, until last Saturday when this significance was pointed out to him in a conversation with Miss Esther Penn, secretary-treasurer, American Federation of Government Employees which is affiliated to the American Federation of Labor. This decision (it seems) not only reaffirms the statutory right of Government workers to organize and assures them that union activity is not an acceptable cause for discharge from the Government service but it also—in all probability paves the way for the establishment of a board of appeals to which controversies involving Federal employees may be brought. The case began while I was on my vacation. I am, therefore, not in a position to give you all of the data. Fortunately, however, for the readers of this column, a friend, of the writer who was the only Negro on the Committee on Reinstatement made up of various officers of the lodges of the American Federation of Government Employees and labor affiliates, knows all of the developments of the case from the beginning and has consented to summarize these facts for my readers. I have reference to George H. Rycraw, president, The American Federation of Government Employees's Lodge No. 20, past commander of a local Post of the American Legion, and a ranking member of the executive committee of the New Negro Alliance. Mr. Rycraw's summary follows: *** John L. Donovan, president, NRA Lodge No. 91, American Federation of Government Employees was discharged June 18th by General Johnson from his position as technical adviser to the Labor Advisory Board, which precipitated a controversy in which General Johnson contended that he fired Donovan because of "inefficiency and insubordination," when he appeared at General Johnson's office leading a delegation seeking reinstatement of Mrs. Nancy Luke, a stencil cutter and a member of Donovan's local. The American Federation of Government Employees insisted that Donovan had been fired for his union activity which had proved embarrassing to General Johnson. Donovan's efficiency was attested by the fact that his recommendations on a number of codes had found favor with President Roosevelt and his efficiency had never been questioned by General Johnson or his immediate superior Dr. Gustav Peck, prior to June 18th when he was fired. On July 19 organized labor called a mass meeting at the Thomson School to formulate plans to bring about Donovan's reinstatement. Not only were all Federal employees organizations represented at this meeting, but all affiliates of the American Federation of Labor through the Washington Central Labor Union. From these organizations represented at the meeting a committee known as the Donovan Reinstatement Committee, was chosen consisting of twenty-five members, the only colored member being myself. After a series of meetings, legal counsel in the persons of John F. Flinney and L. Harold Sothoron, were employed. The great difficulty now confronting the reinstatement of Donovan was getting a board to hear the case since none existed to hear such an unprecedented case of a Government employee seeking reinstatement under those conditions. Finally the National Labor Relations Board decided to hear the case. Both General Johnson and counsel for Donovan agreed in advance to abide by the decision of the board. The board rendered its report on August 21 ordering Donovan's immediate reinstatement and declaring he had been discharged for his union activity and not "inefficiency and insubordination" as charged by General Johnson. Donovan returned to work August 22. The Donovan decision is of utmost importance to all Government employees because it will accelerate the enactment of legislation creating a Civil Service Court of Appeals to which all Government employees will have the right to appeal in the matter of promotions, efficiency ratings, transfers, retentions, etc. The American Federation of Government Employees has already sponsored a bill to this effect which was introduced by Congressman Sirovich at the last session of Congress. With the nation-wide publicity attendant on the Donovan case on account of the prominence of the plaintiff, General Johnson, organized labor has become thoroughly aroused to the plight of Government employees in the matter of not having a board to which they can appeal their grievances, and this feeling will be reflected in every Congressman's district by the various locals of organized labor. Donovan, as a technical adviser to the Labor Advisory Board, has repeatedly championed the cause of the Negro worker in insisting that there should be no discrimination in wage differentials for Negro workers; he has been instrumental in having a number of colored persons retained in the service who were scheduled to be let out; NRA Lodge of the American Federation of Government Employees of which he is president, is composed of both white and colored; he was one of six white persons to second a motion made by myself to adopt a resolution introduced by Lodge No. 20 at a recent meeting of the District Federation of Government Employees denouncing racial discrimination in the Government service and calling on the President of the United States, through the National Office to eradicate this discrimination against colored people. The National Labor Relations Board's decision in the Donovan case is the most important decision affecting Government Employees since the enactment of legislation by Congress in 1912, sponsored by the late Senator La Follette, giving Government Employees the right to organize and bargain individually or collectively, and about which so few colored employees in the Federal service know so little and seem content to continue by just playing safe and looking out for "number one" and trusting to "luck and the Lord" instead of becoming more labor minded. After all, we are in the same boat and we should lose no opportunity to cooperate in constantly improving the condition under which all Government employees labor regardless of race, creed or color. And this can only be accomplished by organized effort. The day of "rugged individualism" is passed. cases to district attorneys, through the State directors. (Continued next week) P. P. Segregated gee Houston It is un-American and violates the principles of our Constitution. It is an admission of inferiority. I believe that we have been misunderstood in our stand against segregation. We have not made the white man see the suffering and hardship that comes out of it for the race. We have rather impressed eagerness for association. Personally the genuine Negro prefers the building up of a self-sustained culture of our own that the better white man will seek and which will never open for the former race hater who pretended to fear it. It Seems to be Our Fault I feel that in some way it is our fault the N.A.A.C.P. has segregated itself. There are few white attendants at the National meetings. Some come, of course, but not in sufficient numbers to make any difference in our status as a race. This happens for various reasons. With the common white man we are emphasizing too much programs. Our over-dressing and fine cars have aroused envy. They leave us to the carrying out of our own endeavors. Let me illustrate. In Oklahoma City we have a colored band belonging to Douglass High School. It has been trained by a wonderfully gifted woman—Mrs. Zelia Breaux. They play the marches of Sousa and other great composers brilliantly. I have seen nothing to exceed the appearance and skill of her --- --- drum majors. In a late parade this band came at the end of a parade. I noticed as the colored boys appeared on Main Street the whites scattered almost by magic. There was nothing to account for it but envy, that refuses to see. Morning, Evening and Night Morning— Day is here There is work to be done— The sky is bright With the materntinal sun. Evening— The tide is in Work is done— And the sky is dimmed By the setting sun Nightfall— Morsing's toll is over And evening's pleasure too— I am left with pleasant dreams Inhabited by you. THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE BY B. L. IVY Don't give up hoping when the ship goes down. Grab a spar or something, and refuse to drown. Defuse a spar, and drink just be. Don't think you are dying, just because you're hit, Smile in face of danger and hang to your grit Folks die too easy, they sort of fade away. Make a little error and give up in dismay. Kind of man that's needed, is the man of ready wit, To laugh at pain and trouble, and keep up his grit.

Many forms of entertainment were planned and given for their pleasure. On last Saturday a Bathing Beauty Contest was staged at Sparrows Beach by Mr. and Mrs. Sperrow, with Robert Shamwell, master of ceremonies, Robert Smith, supervising judge and Luther Mills, manager in charge. The affair was given by Mr. and Mrs. Sperrow in appreciation of the wonderful summer patronage the beach has received from the people of Baltimore, Washington and other nearby points. Mrs. Phoebe Broughton, graduate of Dunbar High School was the winner of the contest with Miss Antoinette Marshall, second; Miss Elsie Jennings, third, and Miss Cora Sissenee, fourth. Miss Broughton was presented a gorgeous silver cocktail set and a pennant bearing the inscription "Miss Sparrow of 1934." Miss Marshall who was also very popular, as demonstrated by the crowd, was given a very pretty glass cocktail set. Miss Jennings received a cash prize and Miss Sissenee a set of toilet articles donated by Dr. Vincent Thomas, of the Thomas Pharmacy, of Twelfth and U Streets, Northwest. Dr. Benjamin Hunton also donated a runner-up prize of perfume. The crowd was not so large but full of enthusiasm. The entrants performed as if they had been drilled for the occasion passing up specially built steps across a platform in review and then down. Little Miss Milton entertained with many dance numbers, assisted by the orchestra from Stanley Wrights in Annapolis, Md. The Bar Association which met in Baltimore attracted many of Washington's professional men last week during the day and the social activities every evening were also enjoyed by the fairer sex. Crowds of capital folks either motored or went by train to the Elks' Convention now in session in Atlantic City, N.J. From all reports the meeting was well attended, the capitol city being well represented.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS Reheat stale crackers by placing them in the oven for a few minutes A few cloves added to vegetable soup will give it a delicious flavor. A pinch of soda added to any boiling syrup will keep it from crystallizing. A teaspoonful vinegar added to homemade syrup will keep it from candying after it stands. In placing dishes on ice, place a rubber ring from a fruit jar under the dish. Ring will adhere to both ice and dish. In boiling corned beef, add a small onion, a pinch of ginger, a few cloves and a bay leaf. This will improve the flavor of the beef. When cream will not whip, add the white of an egg to it or gelatine that has been soaked five minutes in the cream. Let both cream and egg be thoroughly chilled. Then trv again and it will whip easily. To beat eggs quickly, add a pinch of salt. When filling gem pans, leave one of the small sections empty and fill with water—the gem pans will never scorch.

WOMAN FREED OF SLASHING CHARGE Lottie Wood Exonerated of Charge of Cutting Common-Law Mate Lottie Wood, 404 Third Street, Southwest, who was held for the action of the grand jury last Friday under a bond of $1,000 charged with assaulting James Wood, her common-law husband, was freed when the case was tried before a jury in Police Court Wednesday morning. When the woman was arraigned before Judge Ralph Given last Friday she was ordered held for the grand jury, but that body sent the case back to Police Court. Miss Wood is alleged to have cut Roan while the two were at a party at 118 F Street, Southwest, last August 18. According to officers who arrested her, the man was cut by the woman when she entered the house where the party was being held and found another woman seated on Roan's lap. Roan was taken to a hospital where it required 16 stitches to close the wound in his abdomen. At the Police Court hearing Roan refused to testify against Miss Roan and stated that he did not know who cut him. However, police stated that the man admitted at the hospital that he was cut by the woman. Despite this Judge, Glen ordered Miss Roan held for the grand jury. Roan also refused to testify when he was called to the witness stand Wednesday. Attorney A. A. Andrews who represented Miss Wood asked for a directed verdict, but the court refused this request and the case went to the jury which returned a not guilty verdict.

It was the first time the wave has been demonstrated before a colored group of hairdressers.

WASHINGTON, D.C., WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 1, 1934 Each Dot Represents a Death from Tuberculosis --- Washington Tribune Citizens Offer Antiquated Fire Truck for Labor Day Parade Southwest Association Head Says Engines From Other Sections of City "Steal Show" From No. 4 Fire Wagons Efforts of Fire Chief Charles E. Schrom to educate the public to the dilapidated condition of fire equipment now in service in the Fire Department, were commended in a letter sent today to the District Commissioners by Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the Public Service Committee of the Southwest Civic Association. Chief Schrom announced last week he would enter some modern and some antiquated fire apparatus in the Labor Day Parade, Monday to show citizens how bad off their Fire Department really is: sury Building, and permit the Southwest firemen to finish the race on foot should their deicrepit fire carts go into a swoon." Schrom Backs Southwest Plea Schrom is reported as favoring giving the new hose wagons and pumping engine which the last Congress authorized, to the Southwest fire companies. It has been pointed out that the Southwest civic body were the only citizens to testify for the equipment before the Subcommittees of the House and Senate, last spring "Southwest citizens," Dr. Johnson wrote, "won't be much interested in the antiquated apparatus which will parade down the Avenue, because we have been seeing such parades in Southwest 365 days a year for the past 15 or 20 years." "However, when the modern apparatus comes prancing along," he declared, "we will crane our necks to get a good peek at a modern piece of fire apparatus to see what it really books like." Steals Southwest Fires "The only time that Southwest citizens get a chance to see modern apparatus," he continued, "is when the high-powered, modern Northwest and Southeast fire engines dash into the Southwest section to fires, and they are going so fast that de don't get a good look at them. They usually heat No. 4 and No. 13 to their own fires and steal them from them." Naughty, Naughty, Naughty "Many times," Dr. Johnson averred, "the naughty high-powered engines have put the fire out and are on their way back home before the Southwest engines arrive. "No. 4 and No. 13 are only sure of getting there first, if the fire is 4 or 5 blocks from their houses," he stated, "and then they must not spent too much time cranking their engines." The civic body lamented that No. 4 and No. 13 would not have an opportunity to win any prizes for beautiful floats, Monday, but generously offered to let their slow and dilapidated apparatus do some of their "funny tricks" on the Avenue. Propose Hose Cart Race "All arguments could be settled as to who has the worst hose wagons, if the Fire Department would stage a race among the 30 hose wagons from the Capitol up to the Avenue to the White House after the parade is over." Dr. Johnson proposed. "Spark Plug" and "Fannie", brother and sister wagon wagons of No. 4 and No. 13," he conceded, "might win 5th or 6th place, pre- vided the other hose carts would give them a 10-block handicap, allow them time to turn around and back up the hill near the Tree. THE STREETS OF BROOKLYN sury Building, and permit the Southwest firemen to finish the race on foot should their deicrepit fire carts go into a swoon." Schrom Backs Southwest Plea Schrom is reported as favoring giving the new hose wagons and pumping engine which the last Congress authorized, to the Southwest fire companies. It has been pointed out that the Southwest civic body were the only citizens to testify for the equipment before the Subcommittees of the House and Senate, last spring. Citizens from other sections, which officials have already lavished with new fire houses and modern equipment, are now demanding the apparatus, it is reported. Friend in Need "When help was needed last spring, with the new Fire Chief facing a hostile House Subcommittee, at perhaps one of the most critical periods in his career, Southwest was the only friend among citizens, the Department had," Dr Johnson wrote. "We hope," he concluded, "District officials will tell citizens from other sections who were tonguetied last spring, and who might now be belatedly whispering into their ears for the new apparatus, to save their voices for Congress next winter and help Fire Chief Schrom get the four hose wagons, two new fire engines, and two new trucks in the next appropriation bill." Progressive Consumers Stage Protest Parade in Southeast Section Protesting against a new self-help project, which Duport Georges, editor of the Progressive Consumers League publication, claims to be one of the greatest avenues to lead Negroes back to slavery, the Southeast Branch of the Progressive Consumers League staged a parade Thursday night. The Odd Fellows band provided music. Following the parade, Mr Georges addressed the gathering of nearly 1,500 people. He contended that the administration should give the unemployed five days a week work with sufficient pay to take care of their families. Theodore S. Botts and David Board also spoke, HOLD WOMAN FOR MURDER JACKSON, Miss. (ANP)—Mrs. Alberta Turner was being held in the Hinds county jail last week on a charge of killing Alexander Young.

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER NDITIONS culosis DEATH OF BOY, 16 HELD ACCIDENTAL BY CORONER'S JURY Lad Who Rode Bicycle Into Rear of Truck Blamed for Own Loss of Life Chauney Grimes, 43, 1000 Sixth Street, Southwest, truck driver for the J. B. Kendall Company, dealers in iron products, was cleared of responsibility for the death of Joseph Blue, 46 years old, 716 Fairmont Street, Northwest, by a coroner's jury following an inquest at the District Morgue, Tuesday. Grimes was released immediately following the jury's verdict of "accidental death." Young Blue died at Emergency Hospital as a result of injuries he sustained when he collided with the rear of the truck last Tuesday morning. Iron piping which protruded out the back of the vehicle inflicted several internal injuries that resulted in his death four days later. Grimes and Robert Douglas, 320 G Street, Southeast, helper on the truck, told police that the lad apparently did not see the vehicle stop. They asserted that although they both were aware of his presence some distance behind when they pulled up in front of the company plant at 1510 Eckington Place, Northeast, neither felt the necessity of taking more than the ordinary precaution. Their statements were corroborated by young Blue himself when he told Officer Alfred Harbin of the Twelfth Precinct that he ran into the back of the truck. John P. Davis Discharged From Freedmen's Hospital John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, who underwent an operation for appendicitis at Freedmen's Hospital recently, left the hospital last Wednesday. Mr. Davis was expected to convalesce at his home, in the 1400 block of W Street, Southeast, for several days before returning to his desk. Night Prowlers Seek to Sleep in Closed Theatre Second precinct police were told this week that night prowlers have entered the Raphael Theatre.

ASKS REMOVAL OF CLARK FOREMAN, NEGRO ADVISOR ASKS REMOVAL OF CLARK FOREMAN, NEGRO ADVISOR Secretary Ickes Told That Atlanta White Man is Fostering Jim Crow In a statement to The Tribune this week Miss Gretchen McRae who has been waging a fight against segregation and discrimination in the various departments of the government over a period of years, asked Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, this week to dismiss Dr. Clark Foreman, white, Advisor on Negro Affairs. Miss McRae recently saw Dr. Foreman and following her talk with him she states that she is more convinced than ever that he is actively propagating a policy of segregation. In a statement Miss McRae said "The whole set-up of Advisors on Negro Affairs is a parallel in principle to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and lowers the status of colored citizens relatively to the status of wards, and therefore infringes on their constitutional rights. "His position separates and isolates the administrative affairs of colored people from those of other citizens. The designation of his job declares that the administrative affairs of colored people are segregated under his supervision, which merely adds segregation in assignment and supervision to that segregation which they already suffer, segregation in placement. "Colored citizens should not be hampered by extra supervision which means less freedom, and which takes them out of the main channels of employment, administration and supervision, and shunts them into isolated and proscribed channels. Colored citizens have every right to have their cases considered in the regular routine of business before each and every department without being penalized by blanket discrimination at the outset. BODYGUARD FACES GUN CHARGE BODYGUARD FACES GUN CHARGE Freed in the shooting of Henry Sladko, white, would-be hold-up man, early last week, William Redford, 55, 292 Sherman Avenue, Northwest, confessed body-guard of a numbers racketeer, was ordered tried on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon by United States Attorney Leslie Garnett, Monday. Redford, arraigned in United States Branch of Police Court, entered a plea of not guilty and demanded a trial by jury. The hearing was set for September 20. The man was arrested on evidence produced at the coroner's inquest following the shooting of Sladko, an alleged New Jersey gunman. Sladko was one of a group who held up William J. Harper, white, whom Redford was paid to guard while transporting money to their "boss," living in the 3800 block New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest. It developed that Redford whipped out a revolver and began firing when the hold-up got under way. Both Sladkо and Redford were struck by bullets in the exchange, the colored man's wound being of a minor nature.

THEATERS SPORTS NINE "I HAVE SEEN NOTHING LIKE IT" SAYS BRITISHER "I HAVE SEEN NOTHING LIKE IT" SAYS BRITISHER "None So Bad in Germany" Declares Dr. Ernst Kahn The Washington Sponsoring Committees on Housing met at the Department of the Interior on Friday to take part in the conferences on housing led by the three European experts now touring the country to study conditions in America. Types of housing; the responsibility of central and local governments in providing adequate housing for all citizens; management of housing estates; site planning and design, and slum clearance were among the pertinent topics discussed. England was represented by Sir Raymond Unwin and Miss A. Mullor-Samuel. Their associate, Dr. Ernst Kahn represented the German people. Discuss Slums The problem of slum clearance received considerable attention. The English representatives, who had toured the Washington slums, stated that slum clearance in their country was a responsibility of both central and local governments, the central government acting in a supervisory capacity. Local governing bodies were compelled to act on the recommendation of the health officers. The experience of the British, said Sir Raymond, was in favor of cottages for individual families in garden communities, as to types of housing, although flats were more generally used in alley and slum clearance programs. Both English representatives stressed the importance of more than physically adequate homes in the rehabilitation of underprivileged groups. Deprecating the usual procedure of pinching space "to the last square inch, in the supposed interest of efficiency, Sir Raymond pleaded for housing that in space and design, would meet the "intellectual and emotional needs" of a developing people. Miss Samuel declared that by providing radical changes for the better, in housing accommodation, instead of meeting only the minimum standard, the greatest improvement had been observed. Favor English Views The representatives of the N.A.A.C.P., who provided the Europeans with much of the data used on their tour of the slums, gave the endorsement of the national association to the views of the English visitors in favor of the establishment of radically improved facilities for families evacuated in slum clearance projects, and also questioned the wisdom of turning back to owners who had already exploited slum properties, slum land condemned and cleared by central or local governments. Dr. Robert Weaver of the Department of the Interior, and Professor Robinson of Howard University, and the Subsistence Homestead Division, were also present at Friday's discussions, Professor Robinson taking part in the technical discussions on equipment. "I have seen nothing to compare with the squalor. It is absolutely shocking. The courts in London and Liverpool which we are closing are narrower but not nearly so bad. It seems to me to be very derelict. "It is so frightful as I have always been impressed by the beauty of your city. I think things should be coordinated more evenly." Sir Raymond, who has been in Washington before, also was shocked. He said: "I have seen some of these places before, but not recently and I'm sorry to see them still here, but to get rid of them is a difficult job. In England we have our slums, but never so many wooden buildings. We have more strict by-laws which would make conditions like this impossible." Dr. Kahn said: "In Germany housing conditions are pretty good. We have slums, too, but none so bad as this. In fact we've had nothing like it for 30 or 40 years." BIRMINGHAM, Aia. -- Prof. Carol W.
