Miss Beulah Shippen, teacher at Browne Junior High School, was permitted to resign by the board of education during an executive session last Wednesday evening when the personnel committee brought in a report recommending that the board unhold its previous report of dropping her from the service. Attorney George E. C, Hayes, representing Miss Shippen, appeared before the board and pleaded for his client's retention or transfer to another school. When Mr. Hayes attempted to argue the case Dr. Frank W. Ballu, superintendent, asked to be permitted to present the administration's side if the case were to be argued in public.
Allowed to Resign
When it was proposed that the matter be tabled until the next meeting, Dr. Ballou insisted that it be settled at once. The board then went into an executive session which lasted about 40 minutes. A compromise was reached whereby Miss Shippen was allowed to resign. The charge against her was said to be inefficiency. (Continued on page 2)

POLITICIANS OBJECT TO CABINET
"Negro Brain Trusters" Not Producing Results Back in the States
(By Special Correspondent)
The shake-up and possible abolition of the so-called Negro Cabinet predicted in last week's issue of The Tribune took a new turn this week when it was learned from sources close to the administration that one good reason why the administration was thinking so strongly of doing away with most of its Negro "advisors" was one which concerns not only the administration but also the welfare of the colored people in general.
One current rumor is that the administration is distinctly disaffected with their showing and that their failure to provide any form of program by means of which the administration and its departments can go ahead and do things it had promised to do for the colored people is putting the New Deal "on the spot" with thousands of Negro voters throughout the country.
Feathered Own Nests
Many of the colored "advisors," it was learned, have done no more since they came to Washington than "feather their own nests" and that they have weakened their position and whatever influence they had when they came to Washington by their attempt to dabble in politics and also by their job-getting proclivities.
It was said that this has stirred bad feelings in the Democratic ranks as their insistent demands and interference in patronage matters has caused several Congressmen and Senators to get their wires crossed with their party workers back in the States.

They made certain promises which they thought they could ful- (Continued on page 2)

DR. FERD. MILES ARRESTED FOR CARRYING GUN
Druggist Released Under Bond for Threatening Horace Jackson
Dr. Ferdandan A. Miles, owner of a drug store at Sherman Avenue and Harvard Street, Northwest, was arrested last week and charged with carrying a concealed weapon and for making threats.
He was released under a bond of $1,000 on the former charge and $300 on the latter. Trial was set for Tuesday, but was postponed until October 29.
According to Horace Jackson, 2831 Eleventh Street, Northwest, he went into the store with a girl friend several weeks ago and asked for a drink of water. Jackson told police that Dr. Miles at that time asked "Why don't you buy something?" Jackson said he returned to the store some few days later and in a joking manner told Dr. Miles that "you nearly ruined me."
On leaving the store Jackson said he was told that Dr. Miles had made threats against him and to be on the lookout. Last week Jackson said he was in a friend's house when he learned that Dr. Miles was after him. Police were notified and the druggist was picked up on the street. A large caliber revoiver was found in his possession. Dr. Miles is represented by Attorney Royal Hughes who stated that his client was crossing the street at the time of arrest and was going after a bottle of milk with which to mix a soda drink Attorney Hughes stated that he believed the arrest was illegal.

Conflicting testimony colored a coroner's inquiry into the death, from electrocution, of James Dixon, 25, 16 R Street, Northwest, at the District Morgue, Monday. Despite this, a verdict of "death due to his own negligence" was returned by the body sitting in hearing under Dr. A. Magruder McDonald, district coroner.
Dixon's life was snuffed out when he pitched head-first into an excavation on the car tracks of the Capital Transit Company, shortly after midnight Saturday. Falling against a high-powered third-rail near the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and the Union Station Plaza, Dixon died even before two companions were able to free him from the death-dealing current.
With him as walked to his doom were James Aikens, 1914½ Thirteenth Street, Northwest, and Lawson Beard, 1414 Euclid Street Northwest

MOTHER RECOVERS CUSTODY OF GIRL HELD FOR DEBT
6-Year-Old Daughter of N. J. Mother Released at Lawyer's Bid

The child was turned over to her mother and father immediately after a brief hearing before Justice Joseph W. Cox, Tuesday. The three thereafter left for the New Jersey home
Child's Custody Denied Mother
Attorneys Perry W. Howard and George E. C. Hayes created a mild sensation in local circles last week when they, through the habeas corpus petition, disclosed the unlawful holding of the girl from her parents. A claim that a sum of $1,000 was due Mrs. Swann for having cared for the child during the past five-and-a-half years was given as the basis for the action of the defendants in refusing to give her over to the mother.
The mother, the petition set out, had found herself unable to care for the child and had turned it into the care of Mrs. Swann with the understanding that she be paid $5 weekly for its maintenance. When she later discovered that she would be unable to keep up these payments she sought to take the child herself and do as best she could toward keening it.
Affidavits which sought to prove that the house in which the child was being kept was unsuitable, to gether with the mother's statement that she had on numerous occasions requested that her daughter be given over to her care comprised the major points in the petition.
Attorney Armond W. Scott, retained by the defendant to represent her, advised against contesting of the case.
Members of the Citizens' Joint Conference of Civic. Welfare and Educational Associations are biding their time awaiting the appointment of a new health officer for the District of Columbia, it was intimated at a meeting held at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., Monday night.

Thompkins, recorder of deeds and head of the movement for better health in the city a change in the administration of the local health department is scheduled to take place along about the first of December. In that case, Dr. Thompkins holds, the probability of getting Negro personnel in institutions set aside for Negro health betterment will be greater.

Norfolk Newspaper Man And Wife Charge Libel Against Balto. Paper
BALTIMORE, Md.—Asking damages of 310,000 each, Attorney and Mrs. Thomas W. Young, Norfolk, Va. filed suit in Baltimore City Court here Saturday against the Afro-American Company, publishers of a local weekly newspaper, alleging libel and defamation by an article appearing in the August 4 issue of the Afro-American.
Papers filed in these actions by W. Ashbie Hawkins, prominent Baltimore lawyer, recite that the defendant, "contriving wickedly and maliciously, and intending to injure" the plaintiffs, published the defamatory article on its front page.
Charges Libel
The libelous story, it is charged, purported to originate in Norfolk, and related a denial by Attorney Young of alleged rumors of an estrangement between him and his wife.
It is stated that prior to the publication the Baltimore paper in response to an inquiry telegraphed to Attorney Young was informed of the falsity of any such rumors, and was requested not to print them, but that, notwithstanding the Afro-American "maliciously wrote, printed and circulated the said article, disregarding the information thus furnished and obtained, and its cury to the plaintiffs and public generally."
is Newspaper Editor
By the publication, it is charged
the Youngs have been injured in
their good name and credit, and
that it has caused many of their
friends associates and the public
generally, on account of the publication
and circulation of said label,
to believe them guilty of the offense therein charged."
The declarations also relate that Mrs. Young is the daughter of Attorney J. Eugene Diggs, Norfolk, and a 1933 graduate of Howard University and that Attorney Young is a member of the Norfolk bar, and associated with his father, P. B. Young, in the publication of the Journal and Guide, as assistant business manager. They were married last November.
Sued for $100,000
Two suits of $50,000 each were recently filled against the paper by Austin T. Walden, Atlanta, Ga. lawyer and Dr. Lorinner D. Milton, head of the department of economics and business administration, Atlanta University. The two suits grew out of an article published in the paper alleging that Dr. Milton and Attorney Walden were connected with the death of W. A. Scott, Atlanta publisher who was fatally shot several months ago.
Forestry Program Advanced
4. Expenditures of $273,500,000 for foodstuffs, clothing, transportation, automotive equipment, heavy machinery and tools.
5. Advancement of the nation's forestry program from five to fifteen years.
6. Addition of 5,000,000 acres to national forests and 67,000 acres to national parks.
Mr. Fechner reported that the present authorized enrolled strength of the camp, located in every State, was 369,838 and that beginning Monday, October 1, an additional 100,000 would be enrolled to fill vacancies caused by discharges, during the third six-month period, which ended October 1.
Many Getting Private Jobs
"Men are now dropping out to accept private employment at the rate of about 10,000 a month." Mr. Fechner told the President.
"The CCC movement has lightened State and local relief burdens by giving employment to men whose families were on relief rolls," he said. "In almost all cases the jobs in the forest camps have gone to young men willing to allot five-sixths of their monthly cash allowance of $30 each directly to families or dependents.
"Up to September 1, cash allowances paid to the enrolled boys approximated $136,000,00. Of this amount, the enrolled men set home (Continued on page 3)
MORTGAGE BURN'G CELEBRATED AT MT. PLEASANT
W Street Church Tribute to Pastor's Leadership
With a capacity crowd on hand paying homage to the leadership of the Rev. Robert Anderson, burning of the mortgage on the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, W Street, between Eleventh and Twelfth Streets. Northwest, was celebrated Monday night of last week. The Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist Church, was the principal speaker. Payment of the indebtedness of five years' standing, marked the most signal achievement of the brief history of the church and placed the membership in possession of property valued at close to $15,000.
In addition to the large number of Washington Baptists present, delegations from the Mount Bethel Baptist Association and the ministry of Baltimore were on hand. A most entertaining talk was delivered by the Rev. Junius Gray, president of the Mount Bethel Baptist Association. Following the address of Dr. Jernagin, the Rev. Mr. Anderson, pastor of the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, called on a large number of "special guests," all of whom paid further tribute to the clergyman and the accomplishment of his congregation.

Thomas, white attorney through whom the mortgage was paid off; Mrs. Campbell C. Johnson. Mrs. Anderson, wife of the pastor of the church, and a host of others.
A striking example of the humor which prevailed throughout the affair was found in Mr. Hope's remark, "It is just as hard to burn a mortgage these days as it is to hit the numbers." Music was furnished by the church choir.

7th DAY CHURCHES ARE SPONSORING CLOSER UNIONS
The movement among local Seventh-Day Observers to promote a closer Christian fellowship by holding joint services at stated intervals has assumed large proportions and the two meetings already held have been characterized by a large attendance and great enthusiasm.
The idea has been to emphasize the spirit of brotherly love and Christian unity, without abandoning any of the peculiar tenets that may characterize any of the various groups.
The third meeting of this Christian fellowship, getting together of all Christians will take place under the auspices of the Gathering Call Mission, Undenominational Sabbath-keepers, at its place of assembly, Moses Home Hall, 1421 T Street, Northwest, October: 13, 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Previous meetings have been held at People's Seventh-Day Baptist Church, Elder L. C. Sheafe, pastor; and the Church of God and Saints of Christ, Bishop A. S, Dickarson, in charge.
The idea of a closer fellowship of Sabbath-keeping Christians has been working quite awhile, but it was crystalized when Elder Lewis C. Sheafe issued a call to all who desired a closer fellowship to assemble at his church. The result was surprisingly successful; several groups responding to the call as follows:
People's Seventh-Day Baptist Church, Elder L. C. Sheafe, pastor; Gathering Call Mission, Elder W.L. Roundtree, in charge; Church of God and Saints of Christ, Bishop Dickerson, in charge, and Fairmount Heights Seventh-Day Christians, Elder G. W. Steele, pastor. The third assembly will include members from Ephesus Seventh-Day Adventist Church, and the First Seventh-Day Aventh Church. The day will be devoted only to worship, praise, and testimonies.

Saying Grace
The newspapers published an account of an old farmer who went to a restaurant with his son and his city-bred daughter-in-law. When the old man began to say "grace" his son kicked his foot and the girl sniggered. But the old n "said grace" right on The former was taught this and had so trained his children but they became ashamed and failed to follow his teaching. So it was the custom among folks of my childhood days. Even non-Christians would offer thanks for food and the children would have been astonished to see the family eating without "asking the blessing."
Now, conditions have changed. Even in many so-called Christian homes the drop down and begin eating with no thought of God—and thanks. But such neglect will not inspire respect for religion among the "younger generation."

WRIGHT NAMED FOR BISHOPRIC
WRIGHT NAMED FOR BISHOPRIC
CHARLESTON, W. Va. (ANP)
Those amirants for the bishopship in the A.M.E. Church who thought that R. R. Wright, Jr., was safely shelved from further competition for the high office, when he was elected president of Wilberforce University, discovered that they were doomed to disappointment, this week, when the West Virginia annual conference endorsed the schoolman and editor for the episcopacy.
Dr. Wright, known as one of the most erudite men in the church, has developed into almost a perennial candidate, having been before each of the quadrennial conferences for the past twelve years. Some criticism has been heard of the attitude of the humbler members of the church toward Dr. Wright, who they are said to have designated as a "high-brow."
Dr. I. H. Gary, secretary of the conference made the motion to endorse Dr. Wright. Presiding Elder A. J. Smoot, second it.
"Dr. Wright by his long and faithful service has won a right to the bishouric" said Presiding Elder J. W. Gibbs. Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom also endored the educator. "It is Wright's time," said Bishop Ransom. "We have kept him out of the bishouric, long enough. We shall elect him this time." Dr. Wright who holds the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, holds two of the most important posts in the church. He is president of Wilberforce University and has been editor of the Christian Recorder, the principal church paper, for twenty-five years.

LUNCH COMMITTEE
Groups to Formulate Plans for a More Adequate Health Program
Commissioner George E. Allen appointed the Rev. J. D. Pair, president of the Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations of the District of Columbia, as a member of the Citizens' Advisory Committee on School lunches, last week.
This committee is to consult and make recommendations on school lunches which are operated jointly by the Emergency Relief Division of the Department of Public Welfare and the Board of Education.
At the first meeting of the committee on September 28, the Rev. Pair was named on a sub-committee to formulate plans for a more adequate health program to be carried on in conjunction with the lunch program. This would make necessary the assignment of more nurses from relief lists to various schools to keep check on the physical development of the children receiving the free lunches.
It is hoped that 30 nurses may be brought into service instead of the 12 who are now assigned to the entire school system. Free lunches are now being served to 5,711 children.
The present central lunch kitchen will be equipped immediately to care for a capacity of 7,500 children if the recommendations of the advisory committee are approved by Commissioner Allen.
The committee also recommended that all school children found eligible for free lunches be fed. Mrs. Katherine Ansley is in charge of the Lunch Committee. Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, member of the Board of Education, is chairman of the Citizens' Advisory Committee, which will hold monthly meetings with the District Committee.

BISHOP GRACE IS WINNER OF SUIT
NORFOLK. Va. — The $10,000 slander suit against Bishop Charles Manuel (Daddy) Grace, by W. M. Taylor, former treasurer of the House of Prayer here, was denied in City Corporation Court here last Tuesday.
Mr. Taylor claimed in his suit filed in 1933, that Bishop Grace allegedly made statements before his congregation in 1932 which intimated that he (Taylor) had misappropriated $1500 from a local church building fund.
The plaintiff said he later presented proof in refutation, but that the bishop refused to apologize publicly, saying, "I won't do that. To do so would lower my standing."
The jury in Judge Vernon Spartley's court returned the verdict based on insufficient evidence and lack of proof of malice.
The courtroom was jammed during the trial. Eishop Grace arrived with his usual pomp, with his auto attendants in livery. A motion to set aside the verdict was overruled. Exception was noted. The case may go to higher court.

Prides of LeDroit Park Anni
ing Champions at Norbeck
Support of Mates Afia
Pounding the offerings of Big Ed Brown in the first 3 innings of their game at Norseb, Md., the Hillsdale pushed over enough runs to clinch the decision over the Georgetown Athletics and con the mythical championship of the District of Columbia, last Sunday afternoon. Brown was kicked for 3 runs in the open air frames, giving the 'Dale sufficient runs to coast to a 5-2 verdict. Jimmie Prices, southbrow nce of the LeDroit Park clan, tood the slab for the winners and had the game well in hand throughout. Umble to hold the 'Dale bats in check, Brown gave way to Bus Frazier after the damage had been done, and Frazier was able only to stam the tide of what had all the appearance of being a Hilldale landslide in the beginning. Frazier was touched for only 2 runs over the 6 innings he toiled.
Price Gets Help
Bartow Black, recently elected captain for the 1935 Hillsdales, and Price himself were the chief offensive threats of the LeDroiters. They, with two hits apiece, and Disk Temple, who offered another pair of safeties to the 'Dale cause, accounted for 6 of the 7 bingles garnered off the combined offerings of Brown and Frazier. Geechie Williams contributed the other blow.
Two spectacles by Dale fielders were of a peculiar girl to the former Aztec postmaster closing his first season under the Hillsclue banner. Williams's heave from deen center field to suluff out Bun Corbett at the plate seemed a menacing Geogetown rally in the fifth. And a beautiful running pick-up of a slow roller by Johnson, which was converted into a nifty killing as Ott Butler overran second base, was the other fielding gem of the day.
Hood's 2 hits and all-round
fielding and throwing were easily
the outstanding features of the
play of the defending titlists. However
some minton should be made of
the several beautiful stumps of
wild throws by Dave Whithlock,
peer of local firstsackers, covering
the initial bag for the losers.

Clash Between Pittsburgh Crawfords and Philadelphia Stars Promises Stellar Pitching Duel; New York Game is Recalled
Washington Anticipates Thrilling Battle Also Between Black Yankees and Homestead Grays
Shades of world series play will be drawn over the Griffith Stadium. Sunday when the four leading teams of America's colored baseball will be brought to Washington for one of the most colorful ventures ever attempted by sepian promotion hereabouts. A double-header similar to the one which drew 30,000 people to Yankee Stadium, New York, several weeks ago, is in store. The principals are the Homestead Grays, the New York Black Yankees, the Philadelphia Stars and the Pittsburgh Crawfords. The opening game starts at 1:30 o'clock.
CHEYNEY HUMBLED CLEPKS ROUNDING
34-0 BY MORGAN INTO SHAPE
While the St. Louis Cardinals and the Detroit Tigers are battling one another for the top end of the world series cash, Washington will have its own share of sterling diamond performance.
Negro Baseball Wins
There can be no question but the colored baseball of today has been raised to a level that can be considered representative in any man's ballydar and on any man's day. The four teams involved stand out as the greatest in the east and rank along with the Chicago American Giants and the Kansas City Monarchs as the six best colored teams in the country. The first of the two games will bring together the same two teams which thrilled those thousands who watched the proceedings at the New York Stadium last month. The Philadelphia Stars will engage the Pittsburgh Crawfords and with a probable duel between Slim Jones and Satchell Paige in the offing District fans may well expect a treat of the rarest variety.
It was the pitching battle between these same two fingers, aces of their respective teams, that brought the September classic to its dramatic close. Jones gave the Crawfords 3 hits. Paige gave the Stars 5 hits. The two teams got 1 run apiece to finish in a tie.
Great Battle Assured
But whether Paige and Jones hook up or some other pair of hurlers oppose one another Washington stands ready to witness the type of baseball that will be in the vogue around cities like Detroit and St. Louis. A look at the following recordings might serve to convince even the doubtiest of the "doubting Thomases" that any meeting between the Craws and Stars will alone be worth the price of admis-
Blue and White Pennsylvanians No Match for C.I.A.A. Champs
BALTIMORE, Md.-The Morgan Bears inaugurated their '34 grid season with a 34-0 victory over Cheyney Teachers' College on the Morgan Athletic Field, last Saturday. Coach Williamson, of Cheyney sent a formidable aggregation onto the field to be the first to encounter Coach Hurt's freshly recruited battling Bears, many of whom were playing their first game of collegiate football. During the opening minutes of the first quarter the visitors displayed a defensive machine that, for a while, effectively checked all Morgan advances and gave evidences of turning the game into a pin and tuck battle.
The turn of the tide of battle came after the first few minutes of play when Troupe hurled the pigskin for a forward pass which Crawford received behind the goal line for the first six pointer of the game. Crawford's try for the extra point via the place kick route went wide. Following the initial score the Bears fell rapidly into their fighting form that gained them their past championships and soon, began to completely out-play the Cheyney squad and give the Bears the upper hand.

Morris Brown Smothers Fort Valley Eleven
MACON, Ga.—Unleashing a powerful offensive with a freshman backfield leading the attack, Morris Brown College of Atlanta, Ga., romped to victory over the Fort Valley Institute eleven at Centennial Stadium last Thursday afternoon by the one-sided score of 31-6 thereby bringing to a close the undefeated four-year record of the Valley team which boasts of victories over some of the leading football aggregations of Dixie. E The inability of the Wolverine team to block and tackle consistently and little or no coordination of play is really responsible for the score being as low as it was. Several fumbles by over-anxious backs, also played a prominent part in this game that should have ended easily with Morris Brown leading by at least 60 points.

I am indeed sorry to hear of the death of Harry Jackson's mother and I. and all of the boys express our deepest sympathy. Harry is a fine sportsman and one of the leading golf professionals of our race. Here is a lad whose golf tropies resemble a jewelers' sackroom with cups and medals of all descriptions. I truly hope that he may win many more.
After laying off golf for nearly a year I returned to the Memorial links to find the same names in the list of annual qualifiers, such as Williams, Scott, Brooks, Adams and Harris. Perhaps this is the reason out of town golfers are unable to overcome our boys, by virtue of their golfing consistency.

Knoxville Wants "Breaks" In Morristown Clash
Wallace O. Hawkins of Knoxville College is praying for the "breaks" in the coming Knoxville-Morristown game Saturday.

Morristown gridders have been on the field for three weeks and will have one game behind them when they initiate the 1934 Bulldogs.
By "Happy" Walters
A classy field was assembled for the District championship, during the past week with George Thomas and Happy' Walters leading the low scorers with rounds of sixty-one. Thomas was out in thirty and back in thirty-one while Walters bagged a twenty-nine and thirty-two for the round. Walters needed a three on the home hole to break sixty, slipped to a near-disastrous five, thereby tying Thomas for the medal.
Many of the players had scores of thirty or better, notably the snappy twenty-eight executed by John Scott on the incoming nine. The tourney. Moguls decided that fifty-four holes of play are too strenuous on the finalists, so the medal and first rounds of match play were completed the past Sunday.
Several of the favorites came through yet there were a few casualties namely the reversal form of Jack Shippen who succumbed to the steady shooting of William Davis, by the score of 6 up and 5 Shippen looked like a "sure thing" during the medal rounds a well-earned sixty-two, but went to pieces during the match play. Anthony Proctor former District champ, was another lad who failed to come through, losing to the veteran shot-maker. Dr. George Adams.
There were several players comprising the second flight, but practically all of them drew byes in hite first round excepting Dr. Walter Savoy and Edward Carter. Richard Harris, who created a sensation during the early part of the year, in his play at the Memorial links was badly off form and soared to a 76 in the initial round, this being several strokes too many to enter the select sixteen.

SOUTH AGOG OVER 'FORCE-HORNET GRID BATTLE
Saturday Fracas Attracts Numerous Visitors to Montgomery
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—The first capital of the erstwhile Confederacy and the home of colorful Alabama State Teachers' College is lifting itself out of the class of one-game towns as it takes on a real gridiron air Saturday in anticipation of the intersectional classic of the Southeast this season to be played at Cramton Bowl at night with the Alabama State Teachers' College and the Wilberforce University Green Wave of Xenia, Ohio, as principals.
Accustomed to an influx of several alumni and rabid football fans each Thanksgiving when Bama State and Tuskegee play the recognized Dixie Classic, Montgomerians awoke today to find many of the same visitors alreday in town to get a peep at the Hornets of 1934 and to see the nationally-famous Wilberforce eleven in its first southern appearance since 1930 when the Hornets were their hosts at Birmingham. Besides the attraction of the Hornets and of Wilberforce is the return of Gaston F. Lewis, alumnus of Wilberforce and coach at Alabama State for eight consecutive seasons until his return this fall to his alma mater as chief mentor. He will be working for his alma mater and fighting for a good start in his new job but he will be facing the boys whom he came to admire in Alabama through his eight years here.
HAMPTON POINTS TO BLUEFIELD TILT SATURDAY
By Lawrence I. Brockenbury
HAMPTON INSTITUTE—Pirates and Pirate fans are much concerned over the forthcoming clash with Ray Kemp's Bluefield eleven at Roanoke on Saturday.
To say that Hampton's hopes are dim would be merely expressing a fact of which nearly every football fan in the South is aware. The way appears even darker in view of the fact that the Pirates' very first game is with the Big Blues, who started off in a big way by scoring a victory over the Virginia State Trojans.
It is bad enough having to play those boys in mid-season, but to face them in an opening game is about the worst punishment that could be imposed upon any team, especially one that is absolutely new. Hampton-Bluefield games have always been tight, and even those persons who style themselves professional dopesters have never been able to guess which combination would emerge on the long end of the count. Incidentally, Bluefield has never beaten Hampton although it is the only team that has than twice on Hampton in one game.
Interesting enough, the players from both teams have, after each game, expressed the feeling that Hampton-Bluefield games are about the hardest on their schedules, yet the most cleanly played. Perhaps this is due to the fact that there is so much hard tackling and running that there is no place for dirty tactics. After last year's 6-6 stalemates at Roanoke, it was found that altogether seventeen of the players had been noticeably injured. Perhaps more were hurt, but for some reason they were able to successfully pretend that they were able to survive such a conflict without injury.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
The ink was still damp on September twenty-second's "Looking 'em Over" when this colum-conductor received the well known "nod" from two of his contemporaries in the National Negro Newspaper All-American Association for his "fair and intelligent criticism of one Arch McDonald, sports announcer of Station WJSV, of the Columbia Broadcasting System."
I return from the wings with my smile and bow—I thank you, gentlemen.
The first came from my good friend and brother. W. Rollo Wilson, he of the sports writing Wilsons, the Philadelphia Wilsons. The second was in the form of a letter from up Boston way. The writer, Mabe Kountze, is the same Kountze who writes in such militant fashion for the Boston Chronicle.
Inasmuch as McDonald may be called upon again this week to announce a colored diamond spectacle "such as he has never witnessed," this writer takes the pains to include herewith some of the things said by my two brethren of the estate. McDonald, beyond a doubt, needs to read this. If he does he will probably realize that colored baseball has passed out of the ministrel stage and the games are no longer "funny things, these sepian baseball games in which everything happens and then some more."
It was just such a statement that aroused the ire of alert Washingtonians as they sat and listened to his announcement of the recent Nashville Giant-Pittsburgh Crawford baseball game.
For the sake of McDonald, and Ted Ostenkamp and Arthur Reilly and several other Nordic ballyhooers who horn in every now and then as sports announcers, the Tribune offers some interesting data.
The following excerpts are clipped from Mr. Wilson's article "They Could Make the Big Leagues," which appears in the current issue of the Crisis Magazine:
...Denied their place in the baseball sun because of racial prejudice Negro players have gone along, playing for little or nothing and have made reputations which have endured. Here in Philadelphia you will find hundreds of white fans who will tell you that they prefer seeing colored league games to going out to watch either the A's or Phils. We have educated them to high grade baseball played in the style of the immortals.
...I could fill this magazine with tales of players who might have been in the big leagues but space is too limited.
Oscar Charleston fifteen or more years ago was hailed as a greater fielder and faster base runner than Max Carey, then the idol of the Pittsburgh Pirates. That praise from a white baseball player caused Barney Dreyfuss, late president of the Pittsburgh National league club, to refuse the use of his park to Negro teams for many years.
"Ted" Trent of the Chicago American Giants, is another pitcher who ought to be in the big leagues. He has everything which any big league club needs in the way of a hurler. Recently he held the hard-hitting Philadelphia Stars to two hits and lost a 3-2 game. Unfortunately for him both of the hits were home runs and one came after a runner had been put on the sacks by a teammate's error.
I have not seen a first baseman anywhere who has impressed me as much as "Buck" Leonard, of the Homestead Grays. He is a certain fielder and a hard, steady hitter who would mace in many four-masters in the big circuits as Jimmy Foxx and Lou Gehrig.
"Even Babe Ruth, himself, has driven no baseball further in the Yankee Stadium than I have been Josh Gibson, catcher, hit them. During a series several years ago between the Homestead Grays and the Lincoln Giants, Josh, then serving his first year in tophole Negro baseball, hit one homer over the extreme left wing of the grandstand in the "House That Ruth Built."
In the letter from our Boston contemporary we find the following facts which we transfer to these columns for what good and purpose they may serve:
Example 1
During the 1933 baseball season as records will prove, Chicago Americans of the Negro National Association won 2-0 over an all-star National (white) League outfit. Willie Powell was on the mound for Chicago. Suttles tripled and Rabbit Weils hit for the circuit to win the ball game. Among the All Stars were Ethan Allen and Leo Durocher.
Example 2
The same year at New York, Oscar Lewis, Cuban Stars, defeated Bay Parkways, powerful semi-pro club, which also included league players. Garcia, of the Cubans, defeated Lefty Gomez of the Yankees, 7-0. Gomez called Garcia the greatest pitching rival he had ever faced.

During the same ball season an all-star American (white) League team was defeated, 10-7, by the Baltimore Black Sox. Even though Jimmy Foxx of the Philadelphia Athletics, Dick Porter of the Red Sox, Earl Averill of Cleveland, Joe Kuhel of the Senators, Clint Brown of Cleveland and others were in the all-star line-up.

Willis Ward, Michigan Star, Out Of Game with Georgia Tech
WILLIS W. J. MICHIGAN—24 H.S. — ANN ARBOR DAILY 14 Pt. ANN ARBOR, Mich. (ANP)—Because his skin happens to be black, Willis Ward, nation-famed colored track star and great end of the University of Michigan's football team, will be barred from the Georgia Tech game here on October 20, according to the announcement contained in the local white dailies.
Example 2
Example 3
Georgia Tech officials and players objected to playing against a Negro, it was said, and the University of Michigan, anxious to play the team from Georgia, gave over to them and agreed to yank their Negro star to satisfy the southerners.
Sports authorities rate Ward as one of the greatest ends in the country.
Busily engaged in packing up to return to school recently, Ward told reporters the following at his home at American Avenue;
"I am greatly disappointed to learn through the newspapers that I am not to play in the game with Georgia Tech. I would give my right hand, for the opportunity to play in that game; but, of course, there is nothing I can do about it, as I am only a player and not the coach or a school official. I have not been officially notified by the university regarding this unexpected decision. All I know about it what I have read in local newspapers."
It was recalled that last fall when the football team at the University of Michigan picked their captain for the present season. Ward's fans in many sections of the country were disappointed because he was not chosen for the next game.
WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 6, 1934
Two Youngsters Impressive As Shaw Gridmen Prep.
RALEIGH, N. C. — Having worked the squad of 27 Shaw Bears into almost satisfactory condition Coach "Jimmy" Lytle permitted his men two serimmages last week in order to get some line on who will fill the many gaping holes in the line and backfield. The effort revealed several promising Cubs.
Massenburg, local high school product, is displaying considerable ability as a ball-toter and threatens to displace one of the backfield letter men. Massenburg is unusually fast and shifty. Collier, freshman from New Jersey, is giving Williamson, holdover from last year, a merry battle for the center position.
sithe the fact that he was the most logical candidate. Ward is called Michigan's "One man track team," having contributed most of the points to Michigan's capture of the Big Ten track and field title at Houston last season.
VA. STATE DROPS INITIAL TILT TO BLUEFIELD, 6-0
Big Jefferson's Trojans Imp press Despite Loss to Big Blue Eleven
PETERSBURG, Va.—Coach Raymond Kemp's Big Bluefield eleven opened the season by defeating "Big Jeff" Virginia State College team, 9 to 0, on Rogers' Athletic Field here last Saturday, before an opening day crowd of 2,000. It was a hard fought game packed with thrills throughout as both teams showed almost mid-season form, blocking and tackling well for the most part. Considerable importance was attracted by this opening game, since both teams were playing their first game under new mentors, Kemp at Bluefield and Jefferson at Virginia State. Judging from the results the Big Bluews will go somewhere during the remainder of the season for- they carry plenty of weight, power, speed, and deception.
The Virginia State Trojans also pack some power, though not quite as much weight as the Blues and their play in the opening game indicates that although on the small end of the score, they will give trouble in their future engagements.

CALLOWAY BAND IN FRACAS WITH "WHITES"
Southern Whites Become Peeved When Musican Tires of Autographs
MEMPHIS, Tenn) — (ANP)
Chairs flew in all directions early Saturday morning at the Fairgrounds Casino where 3,500 whites attended a dance featuring Cab Calloway's orchestra after some of the whites had called some of Cab's boys by some "pet names." Police Commissioner Davis has issued an order for an investigation of the affair.
When the dance ended at 1:30 a.m., 800 persons lined up seeking Calloway's autograph. Cab seemed to have become fatigued and objected to the necessity of signing his name so many times. The crowd grew angry. Special police decided it would be wise to get the orchestra leader out of the hall. He was escorted to an automobile outside and whisked away. The other members of the orchestra were left behind.
While they were putting their instruments in the cases, the whites began taunting them with "pet names." The musicians expressed their resentment and one of the whites threw a chair at them. No sooner had the chair landed than one of the musicians picked it up and hurled it back from then on a battle raged until police reserves arrived and rescued the musicians.

THE FIELD
Negro fans throughout the nation are wondering if Oze Simmons, pictured above, will be able to stiff-arm the imp "prejudice" in his broken-field run to make the University of Iowa football team. Reports are that Simmons, a cinch at the halfback post, has been made a candidate for the fullback position by Coach Ossie Solem toward the end of crowding him off the eleven. Crane, the regular fullback and the one whom Simmons would be compelled to beat, is a candidate for All-American honors—(ANP Photo).
Requests that Ward Not Be Barred from Game
Requests that Ward Not Be Barred from Game
NEW YORK — Coach Harry Kipke of the University of Michigan Football Team was asked today not to concede to the reported request of Georgia Tech that Willis Ward, star end of the Michigan team; be left on the bench on October 20, when the two teams will clash.
The letter, signed by Roy Wilkins, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, urged that "no such unsportsmanlike request be heeded; if it is to be or has been made. Georgia Tech. know that Ward was a member of the Michigan varsity, and a survey of his work during last season must have made clear to everyone that he was a star, necessary for the development of the full power of the Michigan team. We believe that if Georgia Tech. has made this request, it is seeking, behind the cloak of race prejudice, to take an unfair advantage of the Michigan team."

Union Panthers Offer Baptism for Rivero and System Change
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Football-fans curious to know what class football Manual Rivero, former Columbia backfield star and assistant to Lou Little, can produce in the 1934 Lincoln University eleven will be pleased to know that the Lincoln Lions will meet the Virginia Union 'Panthers of Richmond, Va., in Philadelphia at Passon Field, Forty-eighth and Spruce Streets, Saturday.
Rivero, assisted by Chuck Jones, former track luminary and Homer Ashby, outstanding tackle at Lincoln the last three years has been effectively schooling some fifty candidates for the past two weeks in the style of tactics which has been so effective for Lou Little's Columbia Lions against opponents from coast to coast. Rivero's firm insistence that all comers must show, has resulted in old and new material showing a new drive and purposeiveness—an effort to produce results that will tell the spectator that the players "know what it is all about."

Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars, curator of the famous Bronx zoo in New York, recently announced the addition to the collection in the reptile house of a rare specimen. It is the black mamba, a species of tropical snake said to be more deadly and venomous than all other known kinds, including the cobra of India. The mamba is the only snake known to actually pursue and attack a human. Simultaneously, on the stage of the Southtown Theatre in Chicago, Cab Calloway, his hi-de-highness of ho-de-ho, introduced an amazing new dance stirred audiences all week with its speed and sinuous character. He calls it the "mamba."

Friday. With the allure of "Red Headed Woman," the romantic thrill of "Hold Your Man" Miss Harlow's latest portrays her teasing, tantalizing personality. Never has the lovely blonde star had such a brilliant vehicle or never has she been so gorgeous. It's the kind of a love-story you love to see her in.

NEGROES GIVEN RELIEF, WHITES ARE GIVEN JOBS
Federal Figures Show Race Given Greater Relief Than Other Groups
That the Negro may be deprived of a rightful job, but he must be fed, clothed and sheltered, by the same taxpayers who withhold employment, is one of the truths to be gleaned from the Unemployment Relief Census, as of October, 1933, just issued by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration.
To the stranger who goes into the factories, rides the street cars, surveys the ranks of union labor and the white-collar ranks, and asks: "Where is the Negro? How does he get his bread and meat?" The federal figures give a loud answer.
Given Alms
These figures show that he is being given free board, ledging and clothing to a greater extent than any other group of United States citizen. They show that the same interests whose prejudice would block free and equal economic opportunity for the Negro worker, yield complacently to a program which fastens upon the Negro a status as a ward and that they are ready to yield in alms to him what they will not pay him in wages. The propositions of all persons in continental United States on relief is 10.3. But in only a few states containing as many as 100,063 Negroes does the percentage fall below the United States average. In the great states of the North where the Negro came seeking and promised industrial opportunity, he constitutes the heavy load.
33 Per Cent in Penn.
Of 431,257 Negroes in Pennsylvania, 151,726 or 35.2 per cent are receiving relief, one in every three. In New York, 104,381 or 25.3 per cent, are on the dole. Illinois has 115,893 or 35.2 per cent, and Ohio with 117,498, or 38 per cent of the 309,304 Negroes in the state receiving relief, leads the roll of the states.
The percentages for southern states are not as high as for these northern states, except in Florida where it is 35.6 per cent, but in many of the states in the South, relief is a sort of choice welfare provision which is reserved for whites. The whites are put on relief and the Negroes are told to stick cotton, regardless of their work experience.
Thus in Mississippi, although there are 1,009,718 Negroes to 996,855 whites in the state, there are 136,383 whites on relief to 91-375 Negroes, figures which indicate how the whites go on relief and the Negroes do their "dirty" work" for them.
Pittsburgh Leads
Visitors to such cities as Pittsburgh and Cleveland would scarcely suspect that almost one out of every two Negroes met, in the streets is being taken care of by public funds, but such is the case. It is in the cities with a large Negro population that the percentage on relief is highest. Pittsburgh loads all others with 43.4 per cent. Cleveland is a close second with 51,000 out of 72,000 or 43 per cent receiving help. Other cities like on the list are New Orleans, 37.9 per cent; Philadelphia, 344; Chicago, 344; St. Louis, 343; and Baltimore, Birmingham, Detroit, Washington, Atlanta and Houston, with percentages between twenty and thirty.
"Duck the Bottle" Game Ends as Lad is Injured
A little game called "duck the bottle" landed James Ross, 14, in Casualty Hospital where he had to have recently a half dozen stitches taken in his scalp Saturday. It seems as if James and his playmate invented the game. First James, of the 1100 block of Sixteenth Street, Northeast, would about "Duck" at his companion then hurled a quart milk bottle. The playmate would recover the bottle and return the flavor. This continued for sometime. Then James' playmate hurled the bottle before he shouted, breaking the rules, the bottle and, incidentally, almost breaking James' head. But it was fun, so what.

Man's Death Result of Concealed Injury
One of the strangest cases in the history of his term of office was encountered early this week by Dr. C. J. Murphy, deputy coroner of the District of Columbia, he told Tribune reporters, Monday.
An autopsy performed on Joseph Farrar, 34 years old, of 17 Logan Court, Northwest, revealed a long laceration of the left side of the head. The wound, over which the usual healing process had taken place, resulted in a fracture of the skull. The septic meningitis which had caused Farrar's death had set in presumably from a quantity of hair and dirt which had become imbedded in the wound and had remained there even after the surface had healed.
Dr. Murphy stated that such an injury might easily escape the attention of attending physicians and never be discovered unless, as in this case, an autopsy was deemed necessary.

Grand Exalted Ruler Urges Lodges to Use Dry Cell Batteries
Imitation electric chairs will continue in use during initiation ceremonies by the Elks, it was announced by J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler to The Tribune this week.
Mr. Wilson pointed out that as usual dry cell batteries will be used. In his proclamation recently issued the grand exalted ruler stated:
"I regret that some persons have tried to get into the order who were physically incapacitated to stand our initiation, the mildest of any fraternal order extant.
"I have investigated and find that you have tracked the laws, customs and traditions of this fraternity by using only dry cell batteries in your initiation, and I know you will continue, and I urge you to continue so to do.
"I call your attention to this especially because there are those who sought to make trouble by false rumors and having found these rumors groundless, we are going to march on with our great drive to make this the banner year for new members and reinstatements."
Last summer a man who was being initiated died of fright. An inquest disclosed that he died of heart failure and not electric current as rumor had it.
Mr. Wison also said that the annual Elks' Health Week will be observed December 2 to 9.

DRIVER OF DEATH CAR HELD FOR JURY ACTION
Operator of Vehicle Which Struck Aged Pedestrian Held to Blame
At an inquest at the District Morgue Wednesday, before Covoner A. Magruder MacDonald, James A. Thomas, 34, of 2120½ Newport Place, Northwest was ordered held for grand jury action in the death of John Mickens, 65, of 1341 U Street, Northwest. While crossing the sereet in front of 1331 W Street Northwest, the deceased was struck by an automobile owned by the Maxwell-Tennyson Drug Company of 1801 I Street, Northwest, and operated by Thomas.
Although Triffic Bureau police who examined the brakes on the death car testified that they were in first-class working condition, Sergeant William J. Liverman assigned by the Detective Bureau to the investigation, stated that skidmarks showed that the driver was in all probability traveling at an excessive rate of speed. It was largely on the weight of this testimony that Thomas was detained for a further hearing.
Mickens, a janitor at the U Street address, was on his way to visit his son John, Jr., living at 1823 W Street, and was just about to cross from the south to the north side when the allegedly speeding vehicle struck him.
The victim was placed in the car and rushed to Garfield Hospital where he was admitted, only to die the following day of compound fractures of both legs and the accompanying shock.

Letter to Automobile Ass'n Protests Insult to Colored People
Following immediately upon the forwarding of a letter by Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson to school officials demanding the withdrawal of posters circulated by the American Automobile Association in connection with the annual safety campaign, Attorney Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard University Law School and member of the Board of Education addressed a communication to the association vigorously protesting the release of the posters. Attorney Houston's letter branded the poster, which bore a caricature of a Negro of the "Samba" type pulling a donkey off a railroad track as "degrading and insulting." His letter also criticized the contrast between the colored subject of the cartoon and the smartly drawn white schoolboy patrolman.
The newest member of the education board wrote as follows:
Bear Sir:
In connection with the schoolboy patrol work which the American Automobile Association is sponsoring, a poster - S.S.P. of the American Automobile Association recently distributed by the Association, entitled "DONT BE STUBBORN! OBEY YOUR PATROL!"
The dominant feature of the poster is a Negro trying to pull a balky mule across a railroad track out of the path of apprehension. The mule is closely caricatured with repulsive features, while in the lower right hand corner is the picture of an attractive white schoolboy patrolman. As an individual citizen I protest that as being an insult to the schoolboy, I am extremely bad taste for public display.
As a member of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia I wish to add a special protest against the distribution of such a poster to the public school Matteo school, in which children supposed to be elevating and inspiring, not degrading and insulting. I call your attention to the fact that there are Negro schoolboy patrolmen as well as white, and black children in the public school well as colored through traffic. Making the Negro a ridiculous figure in your poster cannot help but induce disrespect among the white children for Negro schoolboy patrolmen. This will be to ingrate the very traffic avoids which the poster seeks to avoid. It was with satisfaction that I learned yesterday that the public school authorities withdrawn the poster from the public schools before it came to my attention, but the violation of good taste is so foul that I must add my formal protest and objections.
CHARLES H. HOUSTON.
Two days later Mr. Houston was in receipt of an apologetic reply from Ernest N. Smith (white) vice president of the American automobile Association. His letter read as follows:
We appreciate very much your frank letter of September 27th, with reference to the September school poster of the 1934-35 series, issued to the Washington public and parochial schools. And we hasten to assure you that no reflection on any race poster is appropriate to replace the poster upon the first complaint and before, the order banning the September poster was issued by school authorities. And with you most heartily that the safety movement is one that affects no race, creed or color. The patrol members in our Negro schools have rendered yeoman service. They have always been assigned a prominent place in our annual patrol parade, and we are proud of their achievement. Please be assured that this incident will lead to a closer inspection of future posters and let me again say that the American Automobile Association will not intentionally party to anything that will be published. May I take this opportunity of thanking you for your own interest in the safety movement in the schools.
Mary Carroll, 32, 329 Clark Court, was cut on her face, chest and back of her neck with a knife, Sunday, by Earl Thomas, 32; address unknown. She was removed by Residence Hospital in a passing car and treated by Dr. Ed-
current theories of social treatment; community and family backgrounds; personality adjustment; analysis of concrete causes of behavior difficulties; and the social utilization of community resources in dealing with the problem, child. Lectures, readings, special reports, and discussions will be the method of presentation of materials of the course.
For Social Workers

Rivers, 681 Morton Street, Northwest fired accusations of irregularity at Dr. McDonald when it became known that assistants of the coroner moved the body of the baby to the District Morgue and performed an autopsy without the consent of the parents.
The declaration further stated that the child died of natural causes and that custody of the remains was fully and lawfully that of the parents.
Through his counsel, Dr. McDonald immediately filed a motion to compel the plaintiff's attorney to designate the capacity in which he was being sued, whether as a city official or as a private physician.

LOVETT CHIDES KANN'S HEAD IN LETTER ANSWER
Attorney Edward P. Lovett, whose wife Mrs. Louise Johnson Lovett, fired charges of discrimination against operators of the newly installed luncheonette at the S. Kann Company Department Store, last week, forwarded a second letter to William F. Friedl, store superintendent early this week.
This letter, following on the heels of an answer mailed by Mr. Friedly to a previous letter of Mr. Lovett, served to remind the store official that local colored people were quite sensitive about the position of the firm in regard to racial discrimination. This sensitiveness, Mr. Lovett intimated, is brought about by the cordiality with which Negro patrons are received in other departments of the place where the social element is unimportant.
Mr. Lovett's latest letter follows: Dear Sir;
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of September 18 in which you expressed regret over any embarrassment suffered by Mrs. Louise J. Lovett while a customer in the luncheonette of the Kann's Department Store.
I appreciate your prompt action in officially conveying to me what I had always assumed to be the policy and practice of your store: no discrimination on account of race or color.
I feel that none of your customers henceforth will encounter any such treatment as was experienced by Mrs. Lovett now that you have infroned the manager and other employees of the Kann's luncheonette that the policy of S. Kann & Sons' Department Store is non-discriminatory in serving customers be they white or Negro, and whether they are seeking service at a counter where lotions are sold or one where sandwiches are served.
Now, in passing, permit me to conjecture that your present large Negro patronage is due largely to the fact that Negroes feel that when they purchase from you, they not only receive value for their money, but something in addition—they receive the same courtesy and treatment as other respectable American citizens.

"NEGRO CABINET" 30.000 FAMILIES SLATED TO GO ON RELIEF HERE
(Continued from page 1)
fill and they claim that some of the colored Brain Trusters are at fault. It is no secret that some of these Congressmen and Senators made a protest some time ago and that many of them remained in Washington long after Congress adjourned in the hope that they would be able to carry some kind of political "plum" for the deserving one in their districts and States.
One of these, a Western Senator, is said to be openly bitter about a "Negro Cabinet" and its failure to do the right thing for the Negro also for the attempt some of its members have made to dictate State patronage policies which is admittedly the absolute prerogative of the Senator and State party-machine.
... Double in Politics ...
Thousands of letters are said to be pouring into the White House to regular Cabinet members as well as to Senators and Congressmen from colored and white politicians out in the States demanding the removal of the "Black Cabinet" on the grounds that their "meddling" has obstructed the proper distribution of party patronage to Negroes and that "their indecision, lethargy and inactivity" has prevented the Negro from getting his rightful share of New Deal benefits.
Newspapers throughout the country, both colored and white, are also said to be looking askance at the little progress the "Negro Cabinet" has made since it came to Washington. Letters are coming in from them addressed to "Black Cabinet" members and other government officials are asking them what is being done, if anything, and when do they expect to start to work.
Abbott Heads Committee
Together with these subtle protests, there are the letters coming from politicians asking them why they don't come out and tell the people just what they have done to justify the fat salaries they are drawing. Some of them have been out in the field making claptrap speeches but somehow the people are just as in the dark as they have been and this is not helping the politicians any. With so many Negroes on relief the politicians are also a bit shaky and many a Congressional district is in the balance.
One significant move that precludes the early exit of the present "Black Cabinet" was the formation the other day of a committee of one hundred prominent colored citizens, which is headed by Robert S. Abbott, and which was made up with the definite purpose of bringing the Negro's condition under the Recovery Program before the national government. Ordinarily this would have been the job of the colored "brain-trusters." Many other such organizations have been formed and are quietly working to the end that greater articulation be evidenced by the job-holders in presenting some form of hopeful program for the colored people and if not for them to get out and let someone else do the job as it should be done.

COURT ORDERS $30 MONTHLY FROM SUED HUBBY
Beverly G. Robinson Faces Payment of Temporary Award to Wife
Beverly G. Robinson, 26-year-old potal-carrier living at 1754 S Street, Northwest was required to pay his wife, Mrs. Mazie Robinson, 24, 4245 Meade Street, Northeast, $30 monthly as temporary alimony in an order signed Tuesday by Justice Jesse A. Adkins sitting in equity sessions of the District Supreme Court.
The award was granted Mrs. Robinson upon affidavits filed by Mrs. Robinson, seeking a limited divorce and separate maintenance from her mail-carrier spouse, and her sister, Mrs. Ione Garner Hilliard.
No defense was permitted from Robinson, this being a preliminary hearing on the rule to show cause why temporary alimony should not be awarded the plaintiff. Arguments on both the original bill filed by the wife and the cross-bill filed by Robinson will be heard when the case is brought to hearing later.
Mrs. Robinson's suit for divorce was based on cruelty which she stated dated back to shortly after the marriage of the pair in 1931. The husband's cross-bill averred that his mate had misused money he had supplied for the payment of debts incurred in the home and then had deserted their S Street place of abode.
TEACHER QUITS SCHOOL SYSTEM
TEACHER QUITS SCHOOL SYSTEM
(Continued from page 1)
Last week the case was heard by the personnel committee at which time Mr. Hayes said that he did not believe Miss Shippen had been given sufficient opportunity to present her case. He asked for a probationary transfer to another school which he said he understood was to be granted.
Two Others Dismissed
Two other teachers were dismissed from night school after being recently appointed when it was disclosed that both had other jobs which paid them $2,000 or more.
One was Mrs. P. G. Baltimore who was said to have accepted a position at Howard University while the other Miss Ruth Travis, is said to hold a position in the Census Bureau. The board rescinded its action of September 19 as the appointees were not eligible under the salary limitation law. However, a discussion arose when members pointed that there were instances in the schools where husband and wife are teaching
which is contrary to the multiple employment law.
Sees Fight On
It is expected that the matter of husband and wife teaching will be threshed out by the board at an early date as several members are opposed to the practice. One member pointed out to The Tribune where a husband is principal and the wife is teaching, both receiving a salary in excess of $7,000 annually.
The board was about divided on the question of withdrawing its objection to the granting of an "off-sale" liquor license to the Cotton Club, Tenth and U Streets, in the Masonic Temple.
Dr. Johnson Fights Club
A discussion arose when attorneys for the building asked the board to rescind its action of protest in view of the fact that the club would not open until 10:30 p.m. The owners of the building also stated that the stipulation would be made in the lease. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson opposed taking further action and urged the board to stick by its protest against issuing the license. Dr. Johnson also pointed out that the club is within the 400-foot limit of Garnet-Patterson Junior High School and many students attending dances in the Masonic Temple would patronize the club.
Henry I. Quinn, board member, expressed the opinion that the board was not responsible for students at that time of night as "school children should be in bed." Charles Houston, member of the board suggested that the hour of opening be extended until 11 p.m. but the whole matter was tabled until the next meeting on a motion by Mr. Quinn. Dr. Johnson, Mrs. Mary McNeill and Henry Gilligan opposed the motion.
In a strong appeal to the board Mr. Quinn said that "some responsibility should be shouldered by the parents." He stated that parents are the ones to assume custody of children at such hours and the board had nothing to do with them. "We can't lead them by the hands all day and night, too," said Mr. Quinn in referring to the pupils.
Mrs. Miller Appointed
The board apporved of the permanent appointment of Mrs. D. I. Miller as director of household arts, divisions 10-13 and the temporary appointment of Miss E. J. Jean as teacher at Miner Teachers' College.
The following appointments were approved in the night schools:
Miss E. V, Payne, Armstrong;
Miss D. N, Latham, Cardozo; Miss E. M, Pickney Garnet-Patterson;
Mrs. J. B. Robinson, Garnet-Patterson, and Miss L. F. Johnson, Cardozo. Miss E. V. Manning was transferred from Lovejoy to Garnet-Patterson.
Mrs. Munes Resigns
Miss Belmira Nunes, teacher, Cardozo High School, submitted her resignation effective October 12.
John C. Bruce, supervising principal, Lincoln School; Mrs. L. C. Albert teacher, Garrison School; Mrs. S. S. Crump, teacher, Mott School and Mrs. M. M. T. Baltimore, administrative principal Bowen School, were named as a committee by the superintendent on safety in the public schools.

W. VA. NAACP TO FIGHT PROPOSED TAX AMENDMENT
Sees in Capitation Tax of $1 Plan to Disfranchise Negro Citizens
CHARLESTON, W. Va.-At the regular meeting of the Charleston Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a campaign was launched to defeat the proposed constitutional amendment to the Constitution of West Virginia providing that the Legislature shall levy an annual capitation tax of $1 upon each inhabitant of the state who has attained the age of twenty-one years, which shall be annually appropriated to the support of free schools, and payment of such capitation tax and the presentation of a receipt therein may be made a qualification for voting in all elections in such manner and form as the Legislature may by law direct.
Sees Disfranchisement
When the Executive Committee of the branch presented its resolution demanding that the branch lead the fight in the state for the defeat of the poll tax amendment as it was similar to the poll tax of the southern states which disfranchised millions of Negroes in the south, a heated discussion followed fully endorsing and approving the action of the Executive Committee.
The branch was directed to send questionnaires to all candidates on both the Democratic and Republican ticket asking them their position on the amendment, and to launch a statewide campaign to defeat it. It was the general feeling that the passage of the constitutional amendment and the enactment by the legislature of measures to carry out the intent of it would mean practically the disfranchisement of thousands of Negroes in West Virginia who now hold the balance of power in the state. The Association has already launched its fight and will keep it up until election day.
Protests A.A.A Posters
Several other matters of importance to the race group were considered; among them the requesting of the board of education of Karawha County to hire colored bus drivers, and the various candidates of the Karawha County board of education to be sent questionnaires as to their attitude on that question.
The meeting also took up the poster issue by the Southern West Virginia Auto Association headed, "Don't be Stubborn." It had a caricature of a thick-liped Negro holding a mule by the bridle, and on the bottom of the poster it had, "Obey your Patrol." The Automobile Association proposed to put these posters in all the public schools of the state, both white and colored, and the Association felt that the Negro was being held up in a most derisive and contemptuous manner to the white youth of the state, which would leave a lasting impression upon their minds unfavorable to the Negro.
ASKS COURT TO DISSOLVE K. OF P.
The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, was asked last week by United States Attorney, Leslie C. Garnett, to dissolve the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia as a corporation of the District of Columbia with home office at 1044 Mississippi Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee. Its corporate officers are: S. W. Green, president; L. E. Brown, secretary; and T. G. Nutter, treasurer.
In the bill of complaint, Mr. Garnett points out that the order was incorporated in Washington on May 24, 1905, as a benevolent association. It was licensed in Washington as a fraternal beneficial association from 1906 to April 30 of this year. The order is guilty of an abuse of its corporate powers and franchises, it is alleged by Mr. Garnett, who further claims that it has never had its principal offices and place of business in the District of Columbia and has never kept its books, records, and files here, as required by law. Its failure to do so, he asserts, constitutes a violation of law, for which the penalty is forfeiture of the Corporate Charter.
It is further claimed that on February 28, the order was notified through its secretary, J. A. Marshall, superintendent of insurance of the District of Columbia, that it had to comply with the law and maintain its principal offices and place of business in Washington, but no action was taken in this regard.

dress where they had been playing cards. They stated that although they had had a "few beers" none of them had been drinking to excess.
As they reached the plaza, they testified, they started to walk around a rope that had been placed around a pit where it was apparent repair work was in progress. Lanterns and torches also indicated that nearby lurked danger in some form.
Warnings Inadequate
Neither the rope nor the lights, however, were sufficient to guide Dixon, who, going to the right of the rope as they went to the left, plunged to his destruction. Corroboration of the testimony of Aikens and Beard was found in the story told by James Moore, white, 1425 D Street, Southeast, who drove the unfortunate youth to Casualty Hospital.
Moore agreed with Dixon's two companions as to the inadequacy of the warnings when he stated that he failed to see the two men bending over the postrate form as he drove past in his automobile. Had it not been for a girl companion riding with him, Moore, declared, he would have passed the men unnotice!
White Witness Corroborates
When it was called to his attention by her, however, he returned to the scene and offered aid. He stated that the insufficient lighting and the heavy rain prevented clear vision. Two employees of the Capital Transit Company Company, Charles Jamieson, 425 M Street, Northwest, and William Green, 23 Pierce Street, Northwest, told different stories. The former, a laborer who admitted that he was in the watchbox because it was raining so hard, averred that the lights were so bright that one "could pick up a pin." Green stated that he saw the three men as they were approaching the pit and that they were "walking stagger-like." He declared that the men were all drunk.
Dixon is survived by his widow, Mrs. Florence Stewart Dixon, his mother, Mrs. Grace Dixon, his father, Lewis, and two brothers, Miller and K蒙恩.

approximately $113,000,000." Mr. Fechner said that the "outdoor work, regular habits, and wholesome food" had increased the average weight of the youths seven pounds. Many instances of 15 to 25 pounds gains were noted. The boys, he went on also had acquired new self-confidence and new ambition, and had learned new trades through the capps' educational system. Expenditures of $273,500,000 for supplies, the director said, has "improved employment and stimulated business."
Accomplishments Are Cited
Major work accomplishments of the boys was listed as including: Construction of 84,570 miles of truck trails to open up inaccessible areas and strengthen fire control system; opening up of 23,000 miles of fire breaks; planting of more than 15,000,000 trees; conduct of campaigns to eradicate or reduce destructive activities of rodents over 7,000,000 acres, insects over 2,700,000 and tree-attacking diseases over 1,000,000; development and improvement of more than 1,000,000 acres of forest lands by removal of undesirable trees; construction of 609,000 dams in gullies to check soil erosion.
A separate statement by the Forest Service said that the CCC boys had been instrumental in holding forest fire losses this year "below the record of other comparable years despite the driest Summer in decades."
Lewis E. King, historian supervisor of the Gettysburg C.C. camp in Pennsylvania, is the only colored man holding such a position. From April 5, 1933 to July 31, 1934, the boys spent 1,086,000 man days fighting fires.

3,000 MARCH IN CELEBRATION OF RENAMED STREET
(Continued from page 9) play activities float honorable mention as the third best float.
Best Float
The beautifully decorated car of ferns and evergreens with cut flowers mounted on it won first prize as the best-decorated automobile for Charles Chisley, the florist, with John T. Rhines's varicolored paper-decorated baby hearse second; and the decorated car of Walter Johnson, the liquor store proprietor, gaining honorable mention. Fittingly, the comical float of
"Mr. and Mrs. Fourth Street" riding in a horse-drawn buggy tagged "just married" captured the cash award as the most comical entry in the parade for John Marshall owner of the Marshall Printing Company. Other prize winners with the exception of the honorable mentions, were presented silver loving cups.
2.719 Marchers
Other speakers on the program were Harry S. Wender, chairman of the committee on arrangements; and Major General George S. Simonds, commandant of the Army War College.
Altogether, there were 2,719 marchers, 79 floats, 117 automobiles and 18 bands in the parade. About 50 per cent of these were colored and each unit, particularly the bands with their cavorting and sensational drum majors, drew loud applauses. In the Cardozo Playground representation there was a group of nearly 300 boys on roller skates who cut fancy figures in front of the reviewing stand.

Virginia Teachers to Meet in Alexandria
The eighth District Teachers' Conference in colored schools will be held at the Parker-Gray School in Alexandria, Va., on October 19 and 20. Teachers from the counties of Arlington, Culpeper, Fairfax, Loudon, Prince William, Rappahannock, Fauquier and Alexandria will meet.
The program, similar to those of the past three years, will consist of a series of demonstrations criticisms, lectures and addresses conducted by experts from the
school system of Washington, Hampton Institute, the State Department of Education and other educational institutions. Demonstrations will deal with most of the work in elementary schools, but the program committee hopes to arrange some in the high school field also. Emphasis will be put on the new curriculum adopted by the state. The program committee consists of Leon C. Baltimore of Arlington county; John C. Walker, of Loudon county; William C. Taylor of Faquier county; Mrs. Louise Archer of Fairfax county; Wesley D. Elam, chairman of Alexandria. Information concerning the conference can be secured from the president at 128 N. West Street, Alexandria, Va.

HUSBAND AND WIFE TEACHING
The matter of husband and wife teaching in the public schools and both drawing fat salaries is due for a show-down. The board recently dismissed two teachers from night schools because it was disclosed that they held day jobs paying salaries of $2,000 or more.
If the board can take this action there is no reason why it can't dismiss a husband or wife when both are found to be teaching in the schools.
The idea of the salary limitation law and multiple employment law was to spread employment.
If the law is enforced in other departments of the government there is no reason why it should not be enforced in the public schools.
The Postoffice has dismissed several persons where it was found that husband and wife were employed in the government.
There are many instances in the schools where husband and wife are drawing large salaries and hundreds of young persons, well qualified to teach are out of jobs.
We hope that members of the board who are opposed to enforcing the law are not more interested in some of their friends than in the welfare of the hundreds of young men and women who are seeking employment after becoming qualified by having attended the very schools here which are paid for by taxpayers, and set up to turn out teachers.
SOUTHWEST SHOWS THE WAY
It was left to the forgotten section of the District to show the rest of the city how things ought to be done to bring about not only greater improvement in race relations, but in getting the things to make the community a better city in which to live.
The re-dedication of Fourth Street last Monday night by citizens of the Southwest was one of the most democratic gatherings ever to assemble in Washington for a common cause.
It was estimated that some 50,000 persons took part in or viewed the monster parade and heard the addresses of city officials and leaders in business and professional walks of life.
The most striking feature was the fact that there was no attempt at segregation nor did the colored marshers bring up the rear of the parade.
From the judges' stand to the units in the line of march to the general committee, which sponsored the affair, there was absolutely no difference shown as to race or color.
Floats and bands in the parade were scattered throughout the line with colored bands and drum corps making up the formation which took part in the competition in front of the reviewing stand. Even the spirit of the huge crowd took on a tolerant attitude and for once color was forgotten. All were pulling for a greater Southwest.
John T. Rhines, who is head of the Civic Association, and his co-workers deserve credit for the excellent showing made in the parade as well as the part they played in carrying the affair to a successful conclusion.
The Southwest has certainly set the pace for the rest of the city and the country to follow.

Claring inequalities in the educational system of the south is pointed out in a survey released by Dr. Ambrose M. Caliver, Office of Education, Interior Department, by the National Survey of Secondary Education.
Some of the most striking forms of segregation and unequal expenditure of public funds is given in the following statement:
Five States expended $5,000,000 for transportation of white pupils, as compared with $30,000 expended for transportation of Negroes, although nearly one-third of the schools are far removed from the homes of Negro pupils. Nearly half of the schools for Negroes have three teachers or fewer. Of 1,140 Negro high schools in 15 States, only 500 offer four years' work.
There is need for secondary school facilities for approximately 159,000 Negroes of high-school age in 230 counties in 16 States where there are no Negro high schools, the Survey report indicates. Facilities for education of 197,000 high-school age in Negroes in 195 counties where no four-year high schools exist are also urgently needed, the investigation revealed.
In 16 Southern States there is 1 teacher to 211 Negro children of high-school age compared with 1 teacher to 60 white children. An increase of 19,758 Negro teachers would be necessary to equalize the ratios.
I believe that race prejudice runs deeper than any current political and social philosophy, and as a result of radical experiments the Negro's last state will be worse than the first.
My release two weeks ago on Negro radicals and conservatives has caused widespread comment and not a little commotion. I fear that I have made a few enemies among the offended because of my casual, if somewhat West Indian contingency who seem to be keen-facious definition. This definition was intended to be descriptive but in on sense abusive.
During my forty-four years teaching experience I suppose that I have had to do with the intellectual handling of as many West Indian students as any educator in America. Literally hundreds of them have come under my tuition. I have found them to be intelligent, energetic and enterprising beyond the average American student.
Great Britain has a great way in dealing with subordinate races of making them feel satisfied with her complacant overlordship. The West Indians all but unanimously laud the British sway as being far more equitable and genial than that of America. Small wonder then that they, in numbers out of proportion to their quota, swell the ranks of the restless and dissatisfied element. It is ever easy for the foreigner and the new comer to criticize a regime to which they have not become responsibly related.

WEST INDIANS HAVE A
REASON FOR VOCIFEROUSNESS
The fact that the West Indians, as a whole, are inordinately vociferous is perfectly obvious. If my explanation is not satisfactory, let a more acceptable one be forthecoming. In the meantime I refuse to accept their challenge of unfriendliness. Many of my warmest friends are among them.
I prefer the philosophic attitude of Eibert Hubbard—My enemies are my friends who misunderstand me.
While we are on this question of Negro radicals and conservatives we may as well have it out once for all. But before doing so, let us agree on definition of terms. A radical is one who is dissatisfied with existing order and advocates its overthrow in order to usher in his cherished reforms. The present day reds or communists more nearly fulfil the requirements of this definition. They seek to overthrow the framework of society as set forth in Christianity and the Constitution, and substitute the regime now being experimented with in Russia. This is the type of radicals which I condemn because I deem their propaganda dangerous to the welfare of the Negro race.

THE N.A.A.C.P. IS A MILITANT BODY
Next we have the militants who believe in agitating for every right and privilege for the Negro, but keep within the framework of the Constitution and the law. The National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People falls within this category. Its aims are essentially conservative. There are few if any radicals within their ranks. Dr. DuBois, the most conspicuous agitator among them, is predominantly conservative with occasional radical moods. His latest manifesto, delivered after long reflection and thoughtful maturity, strikes a conservative tone which borders on the reactionary.

I approve and applaud the militants so long as they keep their agitation within lines prescribed by law and order. Congressman DePriest is our outstanding militant with no trace of the radical in him. I would put William Monroe Trotter also within this category.
The progressives believe in and advocate improvement in so far as it can be accomplished without undue militancy and agitation. I would place the Young Men's Christian Association within this category. Dr. R. R. Moor is perhaps its most conspicuous exemplar.
REACTIONARY NEGROES
ARE FOOLS
A reactionary is one who is or professes to be entirely satisfied with existing conditions and declares all efforts towards improvement or change. No Negro except the cows and cravans can belong to this class.
Any Negro who is satisfied with the present treatment accorded his race is a satisfied fool. I would say that the great bulk of educated Negroes are either moderate, progressive or timid conservatives. Nat Turner was a radical; Uncle Tom was a reactionary.
I would say that the great bulk of educated Negroes belong to what I have defined as timid conservatives. They want and work for racial betterment but lack courage, initiative and enterprise to venture beyond traditional lines. They lack the intellectual resourcefulness and energy that would lift them above the formulas handed them.
The preacher preaches his dust dry, orthodox sermons; the doctor prescribes his pills and powders according to the pharmacopia; the lawyer pleads his cause by rule and precedent; the editor indies his colorless, editorials, all with the negative wish and hope that things somehow will grow better.
Their function is essentially to hold things together while the more restless and daring bring about reform either through evolution or revolution. The reactionary is merely a craven and the coward who permits himself to assume a satisfied attitude that he may be considered a good Negro in the eyes of white people and that thrift may follow fawning. For these I have nothing but condemnation and contempt.
THE QUARREL WITH
THE RADICAL ELEMENT
My quarrel with the radicals, as here defined, grows out of a profound difference in judgment of the effect upon the Negro of the brand of radicalism which is now sweeping through the world like wild fire. They profess to believe that in the final outcome race prejudice will be assuaged and that all men will be treated as brothers in the new order which they proclaim. On the other hand, I believe that race prejudice runs deeper than any current political and social philosophy, and as result of these radical experiments the Negro's last state will be worse than the first.
We are dealing with the Nordic race which is Teutonic at base. Germany shows us how the "Teutonics Furror" will empty the vials of racial wrath upon any sharply marked racial minority.

WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 6. 1934
By F. G. Snelson
Quaint Boley, with its staid all-Negro population held one of the most interesting celebrations in its career last week in honor of the 30th year of its existence. 5,000 people from the thickly populated nearby territory and from various points in Oklahoma, gathered to pay tribute to the founding of the famous municipality.
The local fair grounds where the celebration was held was the scene of the opening event. A demonstration of farm extension work under the direction of agents C. E. Johnson and Lulu B. McCain. An elaborate display of livestock, poultry, crops, food and home improvement devices were shown. Ribbons were awarded by the judges, agents J. E. Taylor and Julia A. Miller.
On Saturday a colorful parade was held, a mile in length with wagons drawn by mule teams, predominating and filled with tillers of the soil, among whom were many veteran pioneers of this rich cotton belt of which Boley is the center.
"Miss Eoley" selected from a large group of young women, daughters of the town fathers presided as queen of the occasion. This honor was won by Miss Erma Price, pretty daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. S. Price. Her father owns the largest cotton gin in Boley and she serves him as a capable assistant.
A 60-foot barbecue pit was filled with hundreds of pounds of roasting meat requiring twenty attendees together with wagons laden with cookery and delicacies from the farm added to the festal occasion.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF BOLEY
Boley is located about the center of the state of Oklahoma, 62 miles west of the capital, Oklahoma City on the Ft. Smith & Western, a townsite of 360 acres with a population of 1,000 and a nearby country population of more than 15,000.
It was founded in 1903, which was the idea emanating from Lake Moore, president of the railroad, for the benefit of the crowded settlement of Negroes in that section. William Boley (white), road master of the Ft. Smith & Western, carried out the orders of the executive, and thus the town was developed under his supervision, and named in his honor. The land was originally allotted to Creek freedmen, given them by the U.S. Department of Interior, Indian bureau of the then Indian Territory. The Johnsons, Barnetts, Walkers, Graysons, composed the group. The town proper was the property of Miss Abigail Barnett, now the wife of H. C. McCormick, who was present at the celebration.
ARE THRIFTY
The people of Boley are thrifty and at one time (prior to the depression) possessed much wealth, and their output of cotton brought them handsome sums annually. During better times they boasted a brick yard, lumber yard, saw mill, ice and electric plant, newspaper banks, cotton gins, many schools, churches, a college and other institutions. Boley has a telephone exchange, railway express, railroad station. Wetern Union telegraph, $70,000 Masonic Temple, Farmer's & Merchant's Bank (soon to open); stores, garages, etc.
They have an accredited high school with 21 units, a faculty of 14 and adequate facilities with which to do high school work, 50 per cent of the pupils come from adjoining communities in cars, busses and other conveyances. The state of Oklahoma maintains a Training school for Negro Boys, with a hundred inmates and a staff of 30 attendants. It has a post office.
THE PRESENT CITY OFFICIALS
Boley, one of the largest towns owned and controlled by Negroes maintains its own government with its own election. They are as follows: C. P. Young, mayor; M. C. Simmons, city manager; M. H. Martin, city attorney; H. C. Glaze, water superintendent; J. L. McCormick, city marshal; J. T. Abrams, justice of the peace; B. Oliver, councilman; William H. Hazel, city treasurer; Dr. H. M. Saunders, council; Dr. W. A. Paxton, health; O. H. Bradley, city clerk.

Filipinos Get R.R. Jobs Formerly Held by Negroes
By RIENZI B LEMUE
Filipinos no longer "threaten" colored dining car cooks and waiters. They are now the dining car Negroes' great menu—a menace potential and "looming." Besides, they are menacing the not inconsiderable number of white cooks, too. And when it is recalled that Negro cooks' payroll on one Railroad, the Pennsylvania, is approximately $300,000 a year, $25,000 a month, what the Filipino menace means can be readily apprehended by all.
Aside from "making good" at it, however, these little brown Malayan extractions have had no part in the process of supplanting the colored cooks and waiters. They simply happened convenient when the Pullman Company required a "foil."
Roosevelt Sets Vogue
No so long ago it was said in the presence of the writer of this article that the Filipino could never succeed as a cook, which I "poo-poohed" because no race has any monopoly of anything in this country. Then it came out in the daily newspapers how President Roosevelt ordered the four Filipinos who cook for him on the week-end cruises of the Yacht Sequoia assigned as Presidential cooks throughout his five weeks' vacation cruise on the Warship Houston. The incident has not been the least bit helpful to those mostly concerned for keeping Negroes on dining cars.
Back in 1930, Pullman had been fully out of the dining car business for twenty years, the Railroads having begun forty years ago to each establish its own dining car service with its own cars, personnel, equipment, over which Pullman had no more control categorically than has the Associated Negro Press. Pullman, however, is America's best managed enterprise, farsighted and shrewd men in control. In addition to furnishing sleeping parlor, private and buffet car services to the Railroads' passengers Pullman is manufacturer of all sorts of railway cars and coaches—perhaps the World's foremost The Pullman managers read correctly the signs of the times then—that at no distant date the Railroads would cease to build more dining cars or make further elaborate outlays on dining car service Most business lost to buses and automobiles would never come back So Pullman started in to build modern cafe cars entirely adequate for the time, and its Negro artisans and mechanics helped build them.
Pullman Company Places Islanders
As usual, Pullman's anticipations were correct. Railroads are abandoning dining cars, turning over servies in increasing instances to Pullman, and Pullman is manning the cafe cars with Filipinos. The 100 per cent Negro personnel of two years ago on the Chesapeake & Ohio diners is now approximately half Filipino. The Erie "passed out" completely four years ago and Filipinos are where Negroes were. Pennsylvania has a Pullman-Filipino car on a light run and New York Central only "sidetracked" 'em when patrons threatened to patronize its competitors unless dining car service was restored. The objections however, were to service, not to Filipinos. Pullman gave the Nation its first and still unsurpassed dining cars. The cooks and waiters were colored men—men, though colored. Their work was their profession. They
Roger N. Baldwin Advises Negroes to Take Rights
In the September "Opportunity," Roger N. Baldwin, director of the American Civil Liberties Union, in an article entitled "Negro Rights and Class Struggle," says: "I can testify from a long experience that the way to get rights is to take them, to exercise them, at whatever cost."
Mr. Baldwin, who has been in the forefront of all struggles for rights for minority groups in America, does not place much confidence in the ability of the Negro to secure his rights by law:
"To talk about obtaining the Negro's rights by law is to ignore the basic fact of this struggle to keep him in his place. And his place is as the serf of white men.
"The struggle is bitter because the color line is in fact so artificial, so weak, that it takes violence and delusion to maintain it."
"If race 'inferiority' were real, it would be so universally recognized that no effort would be necessary to maintain it. What is in fact 'inferiority' is the whole working class. The spectre of its unity in revolt against the rules of property is what moves them to such desperate extremes." In outlining the method for the Negro to secure a larger share of his civic and political rights, he advises:
"Every conference in the South where whites and blacks meet and eat together, every boycott of a hotel or meeting place discriminating against attendance of Negro delegates to conferences, every white person who attempts to get service in public eating places for himself and a Negro together, every Negro who insists on equal accommodations in inter-state transportation,—even 'lower 13,' all these challenges to established discrimination do more to help break it down than appeals to legislature and courts.
"Negro lawyers defending a white man, as one recently did in Baltimore; Negro lawyers handling cases in appeals courts in the deep
did well by it and lived better at it, which being true begets the question—Why isn't Pullman putting colored men on its new cafe cars? The answer follows:
Decries Making Labor Issue Racial
When practically all of the Negro newspapers, all of the professional Negro race leaders (not professional men) and most of the preachers joined Mr. A. Philip Randolph in making a "Negro race" issue of Mr. Randolph's attempts to organize Pullman porters into a labor union, Pullman accepted the challenge and began its retaliation by supplanting Negro buffet car porters with Filipinos. That was back in 1925. Then followed success of Filipinos on Pullman private cars, the most lurious of all assignments of Negro porters of two generations. Deluxe buses and private autos began to take passengers from trains in appreciable numbers. To meet the competition as much as possible the Railroads had Pullman build and furnish lounge cars. Filipinos largely got those—a good job in these tight and uncertain times. And then came the Depression, increasing each year in effect, finally forcing resort to the cafe car, on which Pullman places Filipinos. Filipinos, instead of Negroes on cafe cars now is therefore the effect of the Randolph method of organizing a labor union along race lines for Pullman porters. And "the Negro" faces complete elimination in sequence thereto.
Like Pullman porters, the Filipinos do not work on the 240-hour-month and overtime basis. Thanks to the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, ALL dining car cooks and waiters are more or less on the 240-hour-month—and, therefore, all things considered—why the Railroad managers seeking to trim on wages of all classes of employees will prefer Pullman cafe and DINING cars with Filipino crews to their own 8-hour-day men, is not hard for a wise man to grasp.
Public Accepts Filipinos
Saying the public's "never stand for Filipinos" is just talk. The American public would stand on its head. Moreover, Filipinos were good enough for the President of the United States on a special trip and would be entirely satisfactory to a public easily made to adopt a "fad." Besides, there is no preventive afforded in the amended Railroad Labor Act of 1934. The law provides for collective bargaining and does not inhibit an employer from hiring whom he wants to and collective bargaining also means Pullman and Filipinos can agree on working rules not based on the 240-hour month and wages below the prevailing standards.
In a drive to organize dining car men, the American Federation of Labor is using the "bait" of much higher pay and better working conditions—but, meanwhile, Pullman is (now) building DINING CARS too, and "grooming" more Filipinos, as Negro pickets of the A.F. of L. enter the 12th consecutive month of picketing Harlem theatres which refuse to pay the "union motion picture operators rates" to the Negro union operators. As in most cases, the plight of the colored cook-waiter, porter, again affords evidence of the fact that the greatest menace to a Negro is "the Negro"; for if "the Negro" had been left out of the attempt to unionize Pullman porters as it was in the unionizing of the dining car cooks and waiters the Filipinos could not be their chief menace.
BOOK TELLS OF AFRICANS IN SOUTH AMERICA
"Rebel Destiny," written *vellouge style by Melvin J. Herskovits, and Frances S. Herskovits, two noted ethnologists, is an important work on the Bush Negroes of British Gniana. Excerpts from history compiled by the authors, show Negro slaves near the end of the 17th century, escaping from plantations along South America's north coast, and fleeing into the impenetrable fastnesses of the mighty jungles. For 150 years up to the emancipation of the slaves, these fugitives augmented by others who escaped from time to time, guarded their new found homes with a jealous vigil. The Herskovits found these descendants of escaped slaves continuing the primitive cultures their ancestors brought from West Africa, such as woodcarving, snake and buzzard dances and their rites of burial.
The writers point out that these Bush Negroes regard personal liberty as their most treasured possession and their tribal councils never interfere with this, the most highly desired prize of the colony in the jungle fastnesses.

Teachers Launch Sweeping Program to Educate for Political Action
The activities of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools will center around the five-point system program adopted in Baltimore in August of this year. This decision was reached at a meeting of the executive committee of the Association held at the office of the executive secretary in Charleston, W. Va., last Saturday. Seek Absolute Equality This program includes: 1. Insistance upon equal distribution of tax funds for the support of schools without regard to race;
2. That all Federal monies allotted to the several states for educational purposes shall be administered by the office of Education, Washington, D.C., and that a strict accounting be given by subsidized states as to the expenditure of such funds, to insure that the Negro secures his just portion of any appropriations made by the Congress of the United States for educationly purposes;

Wells, of West Virginia, as chairman, to make a study of the extent to which Negroes are being deprived of the ballot in the several states and present its report at the meeting of the Association to be held in Tallahassee, Florida in July, 1935.

How to Improve Your Home By Paul Williams (Noted Los Angeles Architect)
To one who loves his home, there is nothing more fascinating than planning to make it look beautiful, especially when the money is at hand to carry out your ideas. Everyone want a more attractive, and up-to-date home. The process of improving one's home can be made a very pleasant occupation, with the reward of the added comfort and pride of having a modern home.
Every bit of effort that you put into your home to make it more beautiful and expressive of your taste, will add much to the happiness of the whole family.
There are several reasons why one should build now. First, through the new Federal Housing Act, you may borrow money from your bank to handle what alterations or additions you wish to make.
This may be done even though there is a mortgage on the home, for this new act provides for these loans to be made principally on the character and ability of the owner to repay this loan in small monthly installments.
Then too, at this time there are so many craftsmen available that it makes it possible for you to get the most efficient men at a very reasonable cost.
Probably the first step to remember is that a good architect will simplify your work by giving you an efficient plan which will probably save much in space and money, for he presents you this disinterested advice, having no interest other than getting the best possible results for a completed job, especially since his fee may be included in the loan.
There are many ways to start to remodel your home. For instance, many houses built twenty or thirty years ago have certain architectural ear marks which definitely show the year in which they were built, such as queer little entrance porches and a profuse amount of carved wood and ornament scattered all over the front.
These should all be removed and replaced with a very simple but dignified entrance, and try to carry out an interesting color scheme, possibly using shutters to give an added note of interest. Then with a couple more coats of paint, it is surprising what can be accomplished.
Then as we enter the front door, the bright mahogany baluster up the main stairs could be easily replaced with a smart but simplified design in wood or wrought iron, and the color scheme of the entire first floor changed to a brighter tone.
The Howard Law School is trying to show that the Negroes need more lawyers.
Now I have found that the lawyers here need more clients. Recently a colored lawyer died and he was very poor. Some one asked, "Did he make a will?" The reply was, "No, he didn't for the reason that he had no cause and left no effects."
The Great Barrier Reef, fronting the coast of North Australia, is the largest coral reef in the world. It is 1,000 miles long and 30 miles wide.

Master: George that was a mighty good breakfast you served us. Liza certainly learned a lot about cooking since I bought her two years ago.
George: Yes suah and I is sho glad you all like it Massah. Liza sho is a peach of a cook now Massah.
Master: You know George, I sorta like you and Liza. Those old field slaves of mine are no good. They are worthless and lazy. Now you and Liza are different. You are my personal servants. You do clean work and I want you to feel like you are above those other dirty blace cotton pickers down in the field. You and Liza ought to keep away from them—keep to yourselves.
George: Yes suah Massah, you all is right. Liza and me is over them jest like you all say suah—and we is gonna keep away from them from now on. They aint no good jest like you all say Massah.
Master:—And George, anytime you see one of them doing anything wrong let me know so I can whip their black hides.
George: I sho will suah—and, Massah come to think of it—you member dat grey mules of yours dat died wid the colic las week?

THE PRESENT:
Scene: Inside of moving auto.
Time: Today. Place: In any city
where there is a Colored Bank.
White Employer: John I heard
that your people were getting
ready to re-open their bank up
town.
Chauffeur: Yes sir. Any day
now. They say that shares were
selling fast.
Employer: You thinking about
buying any?
Chauffeur: Well, I was thinking
of buying some next pay, sir. I
want to start saving some money
to get married.
Employer: Well, if you are
looking for a safe place to put your
money, don't go and put it in a
colored bank. They are failing
everyday—just like all the colored
insurance.
Chauffeur: I hadn't thought of that. I guess you are right. Do you know a reliable bank that would accept a small deposit now and then?
Employer: Why sure John, I'll give you a personal recommendation to my bank down town. Now, there is a safe place for your money—years of banking experience are in the heads of those executives. Colored banks and insurance companies are too unsound.
Chauffeur: Yes sir, you're right there—Just last year one of the largest colored insurances went under on account of mismanagement, I'll do like you said and put my little bit in a safe place. Thank you for the advice sir, I hadn't seen it that way. Colored men don't seem to be business like enough to run banks like white men
Employer: Yes, a man's got to be particular where he puts his money these days. Those colored men can't be trusted with plenty of money. They are not used to it. It pays to invest in a substantial firm like the one I'll recommend you to. Chauffeur: Yes sir, it seems the colored man can just manage to keep his church doors open. I guess a bank is too much for him to handle.
Many have set out upon this highways, one headed one way and some another; Only those who set their goal are successful. Though the highway of life be difficult to travel, success is at stake if we set our aim, and run with patience the race and conquer the task which is ours to do. Get ready, don't wait! Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy; and he that riseth late must trot all day and scarely overtake his business at the end of the road. "Time and tide waits for no man."

As October makes its appearance over the horizon we become conscious of the approach of the fall season when at eventide the sun begins to fade very quickly and gray somber clouds appear overhead. The penetrating coolness has forced milady to don either her suit enhanced with a dangling fox fur piece or her jaunty wool frock set off with a touch of contrasting fur at the neck and at the top of the pockets. Dark colors prevail. However an added charm is given by the two-tone frock—the skirt of one color and tunic and blouse of another.
Howard University opened with a bang this week. Many new faces will be seen this year on the You St. boulevard and at the many social functions which are now being planned.
The internes of Freedman's hospital who have served a year and are now ready to sell their services to the public were entertained by the hospital staff last Saturday before their departure. Many congratulations and fond adieux were passed from one to the other. Dr. Melvin Christian one of the internes left town immediately for Ohio where he hopes to open his office in the near future.
The most outstanding social affair of the week was the swanky party given by the popular Apomatox Club at the Chalcedony Inn on last Friday evening. Despite the rainy weather a large crowd was present and enjoyed heartily the hospitality of the club.

SOCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
D. C. Artist Pleases in Recital at Hampton
The Eva Jessye Singers Score Tremendous Hit
Gertrude Parthenia McBrown, dramatic artist, assisted by Ernest Hays, pianist pleased an enthusiastic audience at Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, last Saturday evening.
After a brief introduction to the poetry of Dunbar, Miss McBrown displayed the fine lyrical quality of her voice in the rendition of Dunbar's "Dawn." This was followed by "Encouragement" and James Weldon Johnson's "Creation." An entirely different note was struck when the artist appeared and read James Whitcomb Riley's "An Old Sweetheart of Mine" and "The Awakening" by James Weldon Johnson.
Following a short intermission the artist appeared in two costumed monologues. In the first the audience breathed the atmosphere of the Orient as they shared the delightful experiences of "The Little Sing-Song Girl" by Mary Parker. "The Gypsy Flower Girl" a dramatic tragedy afforded one of the high points of the evening. The lighting effects added much to the beauty of the costumes and make-up.
Lincoln Temple was the scene last Saturday night of the Washington Premiere of the Eva Jessye choir. As the singers endeared themselves to thousands through their radio performances, so they did, only doubly, to the fortunate ones who heard them Saturday night. For the Jerryye singers are more than mere singers; they are actors too. To them each movement of a finger, each lifting of an eyebrow, has its own particular meaning. Take the Negro spirituals. There are spirituals and spirituals; then these are "Jessye-ized" spirituals (live, appealing poems, even prayers they make of some of them. As when Miss Lillian Cowan sang "An' I Cry". You felt her tears even though you failed to see them. When "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" you heard (and saw too) the "walls come tumblin' down".
It was the same with the secular songs. You found yourself agonizing over your own tribulations, as Mr. James Waters paced the floor to the tune of "Troubles was hard." You felt yourself growing sentiment when the choir put a "Jessye dress" on the familiar refrain

WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 6, 1934
The artist displayed much versatility when she appeared as a little girl in red and white checked gingham. Everyone enjoyed the land of childhood as they listened to the fanciful poems which were the artist's own brain children.
The Court Scene from the "Merchant of Venice" proved a fitting vehicle for a wide range of emotions as the artist portrayed with sympathy and depth the various characters assembled in Shakespeare's court.
Ernest Hays who accompanied Miss McBrown lent much to the interpretation of "Encouragement," "An Old Sweetheart of Mine" and "The Gypsy Flower Girl."
His excellent rendition of the First Sonata in D minor and Pastorale (from First Sonata) by Gullmant were most enthusiastically applauded and completed a well balanced program.
On Monday morning following the recital, Miss McBrown received a warm welcome at the Georgia B. Phenix Training School where she entertained the children with her poems during the chapel hour.

"Under the Bamboo Tree". Your grandfather and my great-grand-father sang that song, but in its "Jessye" costume it was a new and lovely thing. And so throughout the program. You were living the notes as they uttered them now laughing, now crying, now saying farewell to some loved one.
Miss Eva Jessye the accomplished-ed director wore a white satin gown with a short jacket that gleamed with a million silver sequins. The other women wore dresses while singing the songs. But when they began to play songs (as if to add a note of gayey) they donned coquettish little white satin capes.
An added feature of the evening was the pretty tribute paid the singers by Madame Lillian Evanti who looked lovely in a beige dress adorned with white gardenias.
The Jessyse singers came and they found a place in our hearts. They have gone and a vacant space is there. Nor shall we seek to fill the void. We couldn't if we tried. So, we will turn the lock on their spot in our hearts and hope for their early return.

Big, Bold, Wonderful Men
The longer the quill on your cap or your hat the better Dame Fashion likes it. Sim Mrs. Thomas (wife of Dr. Nelson Thomas of S St.) knows that. Out looking over the recently decorated Republic Theatre the other day the smart young matron had two saucy red feathers fastened to her snappy black hat. Completing her becoming outfit was a dark red dress and a black Lapin jacket.
Just because you saw a group of Washington's loveliest young ladies whispering animatedly three or four days ago, don't jump to the conclusion that they were discussing some terrible act of Miss So and So. They most emphatically were not. They were planning to gather in a pretty bunch at the home of Miss Doris Riser on Fla. Ave, and I proceeded from there to "storm" the castle of one of the Capital's most popular brides, Mrs. Benjamin Henley, the former Adelaide Webb. The "storm" reached its peak last Tuesday night and the happy bride was "showered with a miscellaneous lot of useful gifts. Hope there was a rolling pin among them (a rolling pin has a number of uses, you know, and they don't all pertain to bread).
The handsome Romeo of 15th St. near You finally met his Waterloo (My! My! I'm mixing history up with my Shakespeare). Anyway, the dashing Professor "fell". And that's something to read about (and write about too) for some had begun to wonder if he would ever "fall" at all. And didn't he pick a pretty Juliet? Saw the happy couple the other day entering their S Street home (Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Parks, I mean).
When is a cellar not a cellar? When it is at 3119 Sherman Ave., and when its owners, the clever Creed Childs and his happy-hearted wife, Martha, have turned it into an attractive recreation room.
Didn't D. C. boast some Braziers this summer? There was Dr. Aaron Brazier from New Orleans, La. and Dr. Sydney Brazier from Donaldsonville, La. They are brothers of Washingtons own Dr. Jos. C. Brazier. And when Chester, the fourth brother arrived at 1801 First St., N. W., there must have been a lot of roof-raising among the Braziers. But with all those Braziers there still was room for more, for most of us remember the three interesting Misses Brazier (daughters of Dr. Sydney) who paid the Capital a visit a summer or so ago and left all their friends hoping they'd hurry back again.
While the days were still quite long and hot, who found just the right romantic spot in which to tie their nuptial knot? Young Attorney Nichols and Miss Elise Fletcher of Sherman Ave. They stood in a Brookland garden of roses, and as they softly said their "I do's", the fragrance from a thousand flowers swept around and all about them and held them in a spell. Even the lookers-on at the wedding seemed in a sort of dreamworld, so potent was the magic of the flowers. The garden (but you've probably already guessed it) was the pretty back yard of the Walter Tate's, at 1307 Girard.
How grand for Ferdinand! Young Ferdinand Mehlinger, of has been quite sick with an injured foot is able to be about again. John Wilson, a Troune boy, who was operated on in Washington, continues to improve. William Rose who has been very ill in Jamaica L.L., has returned to Alexandria. Malchia Adams died at his home, Friday, September 28. Funeral service was held Tuesday, from Shiloh Baptist Church, where he served as deacon.

course, son of Mrs. Bonita Hawkins, of 127 S St., N. W. and nephew of Attorney Louis Mehlinger and Miss Mayne Mehlinger. Ferdinand has registered at Howard University. And the nice thing about it is the fact that although he's a Washingtonian and lives not a dozen doors away from the school, he will eat, sleep, drink (no! no! not what you think, just a little milk or water, or maybe grape juice with his meals) right up on the "Hill".
What pretty things a couple of gardenias can de! When they are soft and white; when the dress they're adorning is brown; and when the chin beneath which they are poised belongs to none other than the lovable Mayne Foster (wife of Dr. Leo Foster of You Street and 48th St.)—well, just try to beat that combination if you can.
Some orchids, a couple of roses or at least a jar of Vick's Salve should go to the brave souls who wended their wet way up the Anacostia Hill to the Frederick Douglas Home a week or so ago and sat on the September-rain-besprinkled lawn to see the play Guitana, Somehow though, when you thought of the untiring efforts day after day through fair weather and foul, of the Director (Miss Shirley Graham, author of the opera Tom-tom) and of Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall of the Washington Conservatory of Music who figured largely in the presentation of the play, you couldn't afford to worry about a pair of cold, damp feet. (Note) I do hope they don't omit any letters from that word "damp". If they do, don't blame me. I went to Sunday School. Blame the Managing Editor.
When the gypsy queen and her maids came upon the scene and sang some pretty ditties, you really began to get glad that you didn't follow your first impulse and stay in out of the rain. When Sylvia May sang her contralto tune you still were glad you came. But when Princess Guitana herself (Miss Josephine Muse) chimed in with her sweet soft soprano you were much gladder still. And when the whole ensemble burst forth in that "grand and glorious" chorus (made famous by Samuel Coleridge Taylor) you thanked your Lucky Star for guiding you to the Douglas lawn. (And the first thing you did when you got back home was to look for the Vick's Salve jar.)
See what happens when Mrs. McAbee of Baltimore singes. She transports her hearers to other worlds, or rather so it seems, and they completely forget mere mundane things. So it was that last Friday afternoon when Mrs. McAbee's mother, Mrs. Harriet A. Lee entertained the Minister's Wives' Alliance, the kind Baltimore lady sang. And so enraptured were the guests with the singing that when they finally arose to go, they were so full of the joy of music that at least two of them were absolutely color-blind. The one that came in with a red hat on, went out wearing a blue one. A few frantic telephone calls, a rush across town in a taxi, a duet of "Oh, please pardon me's," a couple of merry ha! ha's and the matter was all straightened out.

Turk Who Talked Back to U.S. Now Reported Dead
(ANP)—News reached here from Istanbul, Turkey, early last week of the death of Alfred Rustem Bey, Turkey's first ambassador to the United States, who angrily left Washington in 1914 after refusing to retract a statement that was objectionable to members of the administration of Woodrow Wilson.
When Rustem Bey was ambassador, American public sentiment then as now, engaged in much crocodile tear-flowing over the injustices to humanity in other sections of the world, but never looked in the mirror itself. Just as the German is atrocious today because of his treatment of the Jew, the Turk in 1914 was held to be terrible because of alleged uprising in that country against Christians.
Reporters went to the Turkish ambassador to obtain an interview about the unholy acts of the Turks. In the course of the interview, Rustem Bey defended his people and turned to ask a few questions himself:
What About Lynching
"What right," he wanted to know, "have you Americans to be making all this fuss about something that you do not know anything about, when you keep so quiet about your savage practice of lynching Negroes? Aren't Negroes Christians?" He also queried them about the "water-cure" torture employed in the Phillippine Islands. When Rustem Bey's interview got into the papers, it was just too hot. Secretary of State Bryan was goaded into wrath by the southernners who dominated Washington at that time and at the direction of President Wilson asked Rustem Bey to refrain from making such statements concerning America's affairs. Rustem Bey informed Wilson that he saw no reason to keep quiet on such matters, packed his grips, and left for home.
Fight Sends Both Winner and Loser to Hospital
An alteration between James Hayes, 39, 430 Temple Court; Southwest and Brgokey Gibson, 36, of the same address, sent both to the hospital for treatment. The former was struck over the head with a blunt instrument and treated by Dr. Egan at the Emergency Hospital while the latter was treated by Dr. Hungerford for a wound on his left arm.

And I further stated that nothing helps to shorten the hours in the kitchen like frozen nice things that have been simplified with the advent of electric refrigerators. I am offering you more of such recipes, because there is nothing that intrigues the family appetite more than variety. I hope that you tried some of last week's recipes, or clipped them out to be used at a later date.

A. & P. BEGINS 75th ANNIVERSARY
The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Monday, announced plans for its 75th anniversary celebration. This company started in 1859 as a single store on Vesey Street, New York. Its anniversary sale will be celebrated by 90,000 employees in 15,000 stores serving 6,000,000 customers a day.
J. T. Patten, the oldest living member of the organization, gave reporters an eyewitness account of the company's growth.
"My first job with A. & P. was in May 1875," said Mr. Patten. "The company was then sixteen years old and had only twelve stores, but a large mail order business.
"I remember well the first store I worked in. We sold only tea and coffee. Blending was done locally—if a customer found a blend too weak or too strong, she brought it back and the blend was changed to suit her taste."
While coming down the stairs of 1319 Corcoran Street, Northwest, William H. Witt, 56, 1303 Corcoran Street, stumbled and fell striking his head against a dresser in the hallway Monday. Dr. E. P. Upson treated the patient at Emergency Hospital and stated that the victim had a fractured skull.

Ten-Cent Autos Demonstrate Inefficiency of No.4 Engine
Commissioner Suggests Hooking Up Engine to Fast Hose Wagon in Order to Get Apparatus Up Hill. Association Renews Efforts
The Southwest Civic Association renewed its efforts to secure more adequate and modern fire protection for the southwest section at the hearings before the Board of Commissioners at the District Building last week.
Endorsing Fire Chief Schrom's recommendation to transfer the $77,241 appropriated some years ago by Congress for the erection of an engine house at Sixteenth and Colorado Avenue, to be used in erecting a fire truck house on District-owned property at Fourteenth Street and Rhode Island Avenue, Northeast, Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the public service committee of the civic body said:
Endorse Fire House
"We endorse this transaction because we recognize that the erection of the Rhode Island fire house is more of on immediate necessity than the replacement of the No. 4 engine house. Citizens out in that area have no fire-truck company at all, the nearest being No. 4 Truck Company at New Jersey Avenue and M Streets, Northwest, which must make a four-mile run; and the No. 13 Truck Company at Thirteenth and Florida Avenue, Northeast, which must take a roundabout course out Bladensburg Road and cross over to reach fires in that area.
"However, we are not abandoning our efforts to have the No. 4 engine house replaced. The fire house was constructed 66 years ago in 1868. In the 1870's railroad tracks were placed 40 feet from the front doors of the firehouse, and in the 1880's the tracks were elevated and placed on a stonewall viaduct. We seriously doubt if there is a single other firehouse anywhere in the country so improperly located with railroad tracks 40 feet from front doors.
Asks for $12,000 Site
"There will be no reflection on this Board of Commissioners if you do nothing about replacing this firehouse, because citizens have been trying since the early 'ninetyes—40 years ago—to get the firehouse relocated. Our nearest approach to it was last December when the late Fire Chief George S. Watson admitted in a report to this Board of Commissioners that 'he had believed for many years that No. 4 needed a new firehouse.' "We hope, therefore, that this board will distinguish itself from previous boards by getting started and asking Congress next winter for $12,000 for the purchase of a new site for No. 4." Commissioner Hazen replied that he was inconvinced as yet about the need of a new fire house for Southwest, but said that he felt that fire apparatus for the section was more greatly needed.
Reads Testimony
Dr. Johnson then read portions of his testimony and that of the Superintendent of Machinery of the Fire Department in the Hearings before the House Subcommittee on Appropriations last March supporting the fire apparatus item in the 1935 Bill. $ \mathrm{H_{e}} $ stated that the allegations of man. Dr. Allman of the Providence Hospital Staff treated the victim for a wound on the head.
Oil Stove Explosion Burns Southwest Man
Late Saturday night, Frederick Stewart, 29, 207 Virginia Avenue; Southwest, was burned about both hands and on the left side of his face when an oil stove at his home exploded. He was taken to Providence Hospital and treated by Dr. Allman and transferred to Gallinger Hospital.
Leg Fracture Possible As Man is Struck With Pipe
During a fight on the primises of 817 Second Street, Southwest, Tuesday, Christian Ford, 19; of the above address was struck on the right leg with an iron pipe by William Johnson, 33, of the same address. The former was conveyed to Emergency Hospital and treated by Dr. Mitchell for a possible fracture of the leg.
Hubby Stabs Mate While She Snoozes; Flees
Assaulted by her husband while she was in bed, Venne Viola Mayes 27, was treated for a stab wound of the right chest at Emergency Hospital early this week Second precinct police have sent a look-out for Charles Mayes, 24, 1330 Corcoran Street, Northwest, her alleged assailant. Mayes used a knife.
Dr. Howard H. Long To Speak in Deanwood
Dr. Howard H. Long, assistant superintendent of schools, Divisions 10-13, will deliver a special message to the youth of Deanwood Sunday at the 3:30 p.m. service of the Beulah Baptist Church, Fifty-ninth and Dix Streets, Northeast. The church is celebrating home coming service. The William B. Marsh is pastor
Southwest citizens that the Southwest fire companies had the two slowest hose wagons and oldest engine are admitted and undenied.
"I have never seen the Southwest wedge wagons turn around and back up a hill," Dr. Johnson declared, "nor have I seen the firemen outrun their firecarts to a fire, however, I do understand on good authority that in the last fire which occurred at the Capitol a few years ago, the No. 4 hose wagon was unable to climb the little hill leading up to the Capitol in high speed, but had to stop and shift to first speed."
Demonstrates Inefficiencies
Demonstrates Inheritencies
producing two ten-cent, toy automobiles and placing them on the table in front of Commissioner Hazen, Dr. Johnson labelled them the No. 4 hose wagon and pumping engine, and demonstrated to the Commissioners how even the aged 16-year-old pumping engine, which can still make 50 miles an hour, was thrown late to its fires because it had to follow behind the 22-mile-an-hour hose wagon.
Hazen Smiles
Commissioner Hazen replied with a smile, "Why don't you hook the engine up to the hose wagon and pull it along?" He also stated that the assignment of the new fire apparatus which the Department will purchase will be left up to Fire Chief Schrom. Daniel E. Garges, secretary to the Board of Commissioners, District Auditor Daniel Donovan and Engineer Commissioner Sultan were also present.
STUDENTS SHOULD RUN COLLEGE SAYS PRESIDENT CLARK
Miner Teachers Head Tells of Group Control Being Definitely Encouraged
That the discipline and activities of the college would be increasingly delegated to the direction of the students, was the statement made by President Eugene A. Clark Wednesday in his annual address to the freshman class of Miner Teachers College.
The discipline of students, control of social affairs, direction of community settlement work, and participation in the expenditure of the college finances by the students was being definitely encouraged, he declared. He said:
"It is only by such participation in real activities that the future teacher can find opportunity for developing the high character and ability for leadership which the new educational system requires of him."
Contrary to the set-up under the old system in which the teacher had his work rigidly arranged for him, the teacher of today and tomorrow will be increasingly called upon to formulate his own program according to the needs and interests of those whom he teaches, he declared, and added:
"Since the student is not likely to alter greatly after he leaves college his attitudes and the direction of his development, it is imperative that the opportunity for the cultivation of the highest social qualifications be afforded him there."
Stressing his point, Mr. Clark declared that any college which was not developing leadership for its community should close its doors.
Increasing demands for high ability in teachers has made a more careful selection of students according to native mental endowment, Mr. Clark declared, adding it was not possible for all of the freshmen entering the college to be graduated. He said: "Intelligence tests given to entering students this year revealed a range of mental ability varying from 32 to 179 points. While it is possible for the student of 75 points mental ability to make of himself by good character and steady application one of the best teachers, the college has never and will probably never graduate a student whose ability ranges below that point." It would be better for such persons that they had never entered a teachers college, he stated.

Commissioner George E. Allen announced this week that the Federal Emergency Relief Administration has given the District Self-Help Cooperatives $1,130. Of this sum $550 goes to the Colonial Mothers' Self-Help group, composed of white women in Georgetown. The Georgetown Colored Mothers' Self-Help group will get $580. The money is to buy cloth for dresses, shirts and bed linen and supplies such as needles, tape measures buttons, thread, etc. for the mothers and children in each group.
Relief officials believe the projects will be very helpful in raising the morale of the women and children by supplying them with adequate clothing, especially in the case of school children.
If there is a surplus beyond their needs it will be sold to the District relief organization for other needy

COLORED TEACHERS INCENSED BY USE OF TERM "BLACK"
Cards Circulated Through Local Schools Bear Segregation Hint
An immediate recall of a large number of census cards circulated through the public schools of the District of Columbia was ordered shortly after many Negro teachers had become incensed over certain phases of the cards interpreted by them as insulting to the colored race.
The cards were distributed by the Department of School Attendance and Work Permits for the purpose of making a survey of the number of children employed outside of school hours, presumably to compare the attendance records of those children with those not employed. The whole movement was instigated in accordance with provisions of the Compulsory School attendance Act.
Aside from boxes in which marks were to be made by teachers denoting name, age, grade school and sex of the children, there was
one space for naming the race to which they belong. This space, subdivided, had boxes labeled "white," "yellow," "black."
When it became known that certain colored teachers were preparing to check the boxes just as the boxes requested, placing lighter-complexioned students in the first named box, those fitting the description of the second box in it, and stretching every possible point to refrain from using the third box at all, authorities in charge of the circulation of these cards took steps to prevent what might develop into an embarrassing situation.
The recall of the cards and the literature which accompanied them followed.

Siamese-like Twins Born to Young Virginia Mother
NORFOLK, Va. — (CNS) Mrs. Cassie Midgett, a young mother of this city, 22 years of age, gave birth to a set of Simamese girl twins, last week. The babies were dead at birth. This is said to be the first case known to the city or to the State of Virginia, and according to medical history, out of the millions of cases of child birth, there has been an average of one set of Simamese twins out of every million births, and this puts the average very high.
The unusual thing about the Midget twins is that they were joined together at the side, apparently by a connection of the ribs, rather than by the spine, as has been the case in other instances of Simamex twins. They weighed about 8 pounds each, and were perfectly formed in every way, physicians and laymen of both races showed a decided interest in the case, and thousands of spectators viewed their bodies, while they lay in the Hale Undertaking establishment here.

Flim-Flammers Wax Fat Here During Past Week
A f fairly new "dodge" one as old as the hills netted local tricksters six quarts of whiskey, a case of beer and $75.94 last week.
The spirits and $3.94 of the case came from the Economy Wine and Liquor Store of this city and went into the pocket of an unidentified colored youth. He ordered the beer and whiskey delivered with change for a $20 bill to a local address, took the beverages and change in the name of his "boss" when they were brought to the house, and disappeared, saying that he was going for ginger ale. The $20 necessary to complete the transaction and the slick young man are still missing.
Meanwhile Mamie McAllister, also of this city, handed over her savings of $72 to a gypsy who promised to "bless" the money and to make it multiply. The gypsy wrapped the money in a magic cloth, which the owner was told not to open for several days. When opened, it contained only waste paper. Shortly thereafter the irate woman notified police.

Support of Negroes Thruout Country Requested in Circular Letter
A committee composed of Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds, Woolsey W. Hall secretary of the conference, George W. Beasley, president of the Federation of Civic Associations Mrs. Narka Lee Rayford and Miss Clotilda Barnett approved the forwarding of an appeal to the country's electorate for help in gaining adequate health and sanitation facilities in the District of Columbia. The approval materialized at the regular weekly meeting of the civic, welfare and educational associations, held at the W.C.A. Monday. The letter requests that pressure be brought to bear upon Congress so as to increase public health facilities in the District of Columbia.
Over a period of several months the Citizens' Conference, the active sub-committee of which includes Dr. Ionia R. Whipner, J. Finley Wilson and Woolsey W. Hall, have sought to secure from the District commissioners, the establishment of eight well baby stations, an additional unit at Gallinger Hospital to be manned with a colored superintendent, colored physicians and nurses as well as a separate Tuberculosis Hospital to be manned by colored professionals. High death rate is due in part it is said to inadequate facilities for colored people who become ill.
The commissioners and the Health Officer turned the petitions of the groun down on the grounds that the District has a curtailed budget and no money to add the improvements.
Cop Without Lights Arrests Man for Same Offense
Following his arrest by Officer Hamilton, white, of No. 1 Precinct last week James Blackwell, 116 G Street, Southwest, testified in Traffic Court Friday that when he was arrested by the policeman for failing to have his lights burning on his automobile, he called the officer's attention to the fact that he (the policeman) did not have his lights burning.
Blackwell stated in his testimony that he was arrested at Second Street and Massachusetts Avenue. He stated that it was about 6 p.m. and not dark enough to burn lights as the officer who was in his personal automobile did not have lights. Despite this Blackwell was fined $2 on the charge.

HEALTH OFFICER IS ATTACKED AT CIVIC MEETING
Dr. W. A. Blodern's Name is Suggested as Successor to Dr. Fowler
A drive for new members was launched by the Federation of Civic Associations at its initial meeting Friday evening. The session was held in the Board Room in the District Building.
The committee named to conduct the drive included Mrs. Martha Simpson, chairman; Charles M. Thomas, Enoch Gray the Rev. C. B. Ashton and M. E. Webster.
Wants Health Officer
Dr. W. O. Williston asked the Federation to endorse Dr. Walter A. Blodern, white as successor to Dr. William Fowler, health officer who is to resign. The motion to endorse Dr. Blodern was voted to be tabled until the next meeting when it was brought out that it was against the policy of the federation to endorse persons for office. However the selection of Dr. Blodern was strongly voiced by many of the members as it was pointed out that he was fair to all citizens and at one time he was a member of the staff of Freedmen's Hospital.
Fowler Criticized
The present health officer was severely criticized for failure to endorse a health program planned by a civic group headed by Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds. It was pointed out that Dr. Fowler refused to take action after admitting the tuberculosis death rate was unusually high among colored persons.
The federation which is also interested in the health movement, plans to carry the fight for a Negro staffed hospital and eight well baby stations here to congress and the states. Letters have been sent to various Negro leaders in the states to insist that members of both houses pledge themselves to aid in the health program for the District.
Prof. Charles M. Thomas attacked Dr. Fowler, present health officer, for his lack of interest in the high death rate here among colored.
Forced on Relief
Prof. Thomas also urged the group to go on record as opposed to taking valuasole downtown property for parking lots while the District officials claim they are unable to provide play space in other sections.
In calling attention to the large number of colored persons on relief rolls, Prof. Thomas stated that if Negroes were given their fair proportion of jobs on other rolls every Negro man here would be off the relief rolls.
Self-Help Outlined
The federation voted to tax each member organization $1 to defray the expense of carrying on the campaign to solicit the aid of leaders in the states in fostering the health program here.
The group joined with the Garfield Association in asking the commissioners to provide sewerage for that section of the city.
The work of the Self-help Cooperatives was outlined at the meeting by speakers and a movement started to organize other projects of a similar character throughout the city.
George W. Beaseley, president, presided at the meeting. Woolseley W. Hall is secretary.
Musolit Club Seeks Meeting With Health Sponsors
A delegation from the Citizens' Joint Conference of Civic, Welfare and Educational Associations had been invited to participate in a discussion of the local health situation, slated for the Musolit Club, next Friday night, it was disclosed in a letter read to the body at its regular Monday night meeting at the Phyllis Wheatley W.Y.C.A. Dr. William J. Thompkins, leader of the movement to better health facilities in the Capital City, was immediately designated as the official representative of the conference, but was forced to decline because of a previous engagement. Dr. Thompkins stated that he would be in Charleston, W. Va., on the night in question and would therefore be unable to attend.
A- request for a later meeting with the Musolit Club was considered, but it was the general belief at the close of the meeting that other representatives would be decided upon at an early date.

MISS McRAE SAYS
ICKES IGNORED
NEGRO PROTESTS
"In setting up official segregation in the Interior Department by the establishment of the office of Advisor on Negro Affairs, headed by Dr. Clark Foreman Mr. Ickes not only ignored the protests of leading organizations against this fresh encroachment on the rights of colored citizens, but also the record of protests of clerks within this very department under the previous ad-instruction." said Miss Gretchen McRae to the Tribune this week.
"It is significant that at the same time he denied charges of segregation in the department, he hurriedly held conferences the out-come of which extended segregation in the other departments. "Whether he did this in the attitude of misery loving company or to bolster up his own position on the segregation issue, is difficult to determine. But the important thing to colored people is that he has placed himself in the position of being prime mover in establishing segregation under this administration.
"In establishing this system of segregated offices it is ridiculous for Mr. Ickes to claim that he did not know that colored people had protested against it. Leading organizations sent their protests direct to him, and I personally had an interview with him pointing out the wrong in such proscription, and referring him to the records of recent protests of clerks in the Department.
"Besides Mr. Ickes is a former president of a branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and if he does not know what hardworking colored people support this organization for he has had every opportunity to learn. Furthermore, the fight against segregation in the Interior Department in 1928, was not only carried in the weekly press, but if Mr. Ickes confines his reading only to the daily press, he could have found it there from Los Angeles to Boston, and most certainly in the press releases sent out by the late Prof. Neval H. Thomas through the association's press bureau. So we must take it that Mr. Ickes knew about the struggle of the colored employees, in this department even before he became its head. He has since been appealed to and urged to increase that knowledge."

Less Than 10 Per Cent of Children in 15 States in South in High School
Fewer than 10 per cent of high-school age Negroes in 15 Southern States are enrolled in public high schools. This fact, revealed in the National Survey of Secondary Education, was announced Tuesday by the Federal Office of Education. In these 15 Southern States, there are slightly more than a million Negroes of high-school age, and of this number only about 102,000 are enrolled in public school. In contrast, nearly four times as many white students of high-school age in the same states go to public school, the survey disclosed.
These and many more facts and statistics about Negro education at the secondary-school level are included in a new Federal Office of Education monograph, one of 28 reporting complete findings of the National Survey of Secondary Education available from the Government Printing Office, Washington. This particular survey monograph on Secondary Education for Negroes was prepared by Dr. Ambrose Caliver, Federal Office of Education specialist in Negro Education.

Dr. Flexner Has Been "Resigning" for 3 Years, Says Close Friend
A close friend of Dr. Abraham Flexner, president of the board of trustees of Howard University, denied this week that Dr. Flexner would resign from the board because of dissension.
It was pointed out to The Tribune that Dr. Flexner has been asking to be released from his duties as trustee president for the past three years and each time he has been prevailed on to remain. "Dr. Flexner has been extremely busy with his personal affairs and each year he has said it would be his last as he needs more time to devote to his personal business," The Tribune was told. "However, he has been asked to remain and no doubt he will do so this fall if he is prevailed on." The rumor that Dr. Flexner has been criticised or that he would resign because of "being under fire" was scoffed at as well as denied.

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER
$2,000,000 NEGRO HOUSING PROJECT DROPPED BY ICKES
Site Near H.U. Abandoned Because of High Land Prices in Vicinity
Secretary Ickes has abandoned efforts to obtain title to three squares adjacent to Howard University as the site for a colored low-cost housing project because land prices made the area unsuitable for the construction of homes "truly low in cost." As a result, it was said, Ickes has directed his housing division to seek locations for the project in areas where land values would be lower and conditions more in keeping with slums.
Site Abandoned
P.W.A. has tentatively budgeted $4,300,000 for two low-cost housing projects in the National Capital, the second being that intended for white families. Plans for the proposed "Howard City" contemplated the expenditure of about half this sum, although no division of funds has been made. The proposed site which Ickes has ordered dropped from consideration is bounded by Bryant and V Streets on the north and south, and Second and Fifth on the east and west. This was the first time the boundry of the area had been announced.
To Lapse Contracts
Tentative contracts taken on various parcels of property within the "Howard City" area, P.W.A. said will be allowed to lapse. Inquiries disclosed that while some of the prices demanded by property owners in the area were considered too high, the site was unwisely chosen in the first place because it is not truly a slum area, in only one square, it was said, are there alley dwellings.
Area Well Developed
Within the area also are incomproducing properties, such as small stores, business places and apartments. These conditions, officials explained, made the site less favorable from the viewpoint of low values. At least two store owners, they said, demanded as much as $25,000 each for their property. The housing Division spent several months in actual negotiations with owners in the section. Although the average assessed valuation for this area is around $1.17 per square foot, and appraisers set an estimated valuation of $1.27 per square foot, P.W.A. announced, the most advantageous contracts that could be negotiated averaged $1.50 per square foot. Original sponsors of the project had claimed the area could be purchased for 90 cents per square foot or less, it was explained.
Comments on Deciston
Commenting on the decision to withdraw from the site, Ickes declared that the dropping of this project, under the circumstances, was inevitable and indicated that other cities and other areas might expect similar action where high-priced land made low-cost housing impossible.
"We have engaged on a program to establish a number of low-cost housing and slum clearance projects in a number of cities," he said.
"When we say 'low-cost' it means exactly that. We can never by any legerdemain or juggling produce housing at moderate rentals on land that is expensive to begin with.
Alleys to Go
The P.W.A. low-cost housing projects in Washington, it was explained, are not to be confused with a movement to demolish alley dwellings. This program is to be started under a $500,000 appropriation and President Roosevelt is expected soon to name the committee to supervise it. Commissioner George E. Allen, in conjunction with the F.E.R.A., also has a low-cost housing project for persons on relief rolls which is entirely independent of Ickes' project. This latter plan, combining subsistence gardening, is in the process of formulation.

Court Order Restrains Alliance From Picketing
Justice F. Dickinson Letts of the District Supreme Court, early last week signed an order restraining further picketing of the High's Ice Cream Company, #218 Eleventh Street. Northwest, by members of the New Negro Alliance.
The signing of the order followed a bitter battle between Alliance attorneys, headed by Belford V. Lawson, and white counsel for the ice cream firm.
The alliance, a local organization, has waged a continued fight against business firms that receive the majority of their trade from colored people but fail to hire any members of the race.
Attorney Lawson immediately noted an appeal.

He stated that he succeeded in getting the bag off of his head long enough to identify Buck. After the robbery the man ran.
Mrs. Matilda Washington, 1711 Fourth Street, a witness, stated that she saw the holdup and just as she reached the store she saw the men run, but not before she had identified Buck. The second man has not been apprehended. Buck was represented by Attorney John H. Wilson.

3,000 MARCH IN CELEBRATION OF RENAMED STREET
Demonstration of Friendliness Charles H. Houston Tells Crowd
To the accompaniment of blaring bands and dum corps and the thump of thousands of tramping feet, the old Four-and-a-half Street became Fourth Street, Monday night, with a gigantic civic celebration such as the section has never known before.
While nearly 60,000 persons jammed the sidewalks, a parade marking the change of the historic street from an old rough cobblestoned and poorly lighted street to a resplendent well-paved and equally as lighted thoroughfare took one hour and a half to pass the reviewing stand between F and G Streets. The procession formed in front of the Washington Barracks at Fourth and P Streets and marched northward.
Gay Spectacle
The gay spectacle, celebrating the rededication of the street—renamed by Congress last year and paved by the District Commissioners recently—was the first act in what citizens of the section term "The New Southwest Movement." It was staged by the consolidated efforts of the civic organization and business concerns of the sections with the aid of fraternal and patriotic groups.
The parade, led by Major Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of police, who rode in the "Voice, of Safety" car marched down the improved elm-shaded thoroughfare while the thousands of spectators, fully frenzy with the festival spirit shouted, applauded and whistled throughout the pageant. Even the old trolley car tracks are gone from the street.
Bands Play "America"
After passing the reviewing stand, the procession marched around Seventh Street and dismissed at H Street. As a climax to the parade, four of the participating bands and the drum corps massed before the stand and playl "America" in unison. Then, the dedication ceremony v began.
"This parade, the first along Fourth Street since Gen. Lafayette made a triumphal entry on his visit in 1824, typifies the new spirit of Southwest Washington," declared Harry S. Wender, master of ceremonies, in introducing Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen, himself a life-long resident of the section. Commissioner Hazen congratulated the citizen and outlined future Southwest improvements now under consideration by the commissioners. He cited three improvements of important streets in the section.
Daniel L. Sultan, another District Commissioner, also spoke as did Judge Robert E. Mattingly who told the citizens that he was proud to have been born in Southwest because "Southwest was rich with romance and history."
Houston Speaks
Reemphasizing Judge Robert H. Mattingly's words that "Southwest was rich with romance and history," Attorney Charles H. Houston, member of the Board of Education and vice dean of Howard University's School of Law, told the vast assemblage that the first colored school was started by Geo. Bell in S.W. in 1807; that the first colored church was organized in the section 119 years ago; and that Southwest has the only colored fire company in the District.
Attorney Houston, whose first job in the city was that of assistant playground director at the Cardozo Playground in Southwest, told the crowd that the demonstration, prepared and participated in by colored and white, was one of "human friendliness and neighborliness."
Europe Post Wins
Prize awards were made by George W. Offutt, who presided over a committee of three judges including Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools. The James Reese Europe American Legion Drum Corps under leadership of Sergeant Bugler Theodore Sullivan captured the first prize as the best drum corps. Other prizes awarded included Columbia Temple Marching Club, honorable mention as the second best ladies' marching unit; Community Center Band under Professor James Miller, honorable mention as the third best musical unit; Morning Star Lodge of Elke, second prize as the best marching unit; second most beautiful float, Cardozo Playground's American Beauty float; Cardozo Playground's (Continued on page 22).
