How he found a black tribe which had enslaved white people; how the temperature on a mountain on the equator in Central Africa often reaches 158 degrees below zero—the coldest temperature on earth; and how he landed in a town in which a white man has not been permitted to remain after sundown for over 2,000 years. He then permitted Turner to examine under a powerful magnifying glass a grain of rice on which a Japanese artist wrote over 3,000 letters. Ripley revealed that he was born on Curaçao.

Ripley, famous "Believe It-Or-Not" cartoonist. And while they waited, Rufus P. Turner, radio inventor, and Washington High School graduate, whose midget radios have been drawn and exhibited by Ripley, sat in interview with this great celebrity at the fashionable Tourraine Hotel in downtown Boston. Ripley, who has just returned from Africa, where he searched for new amazing facts, visited Boston last week on a whirlwind speaking tour. "As soon as I learned that Mr. Ripley would see me, I rushed to Boston from my laboratory in Waltham, breaking the speed laws of the towns that lie between the two cities," said Turner. "Ripley's welcome was warm and enthusiastic. Surrounded by a battery of newspaper men, he beamed as I presented him with my latest midget radio, first provin gthat it will pass through the eye of a needle. He declared this set to be the smallest yet." Newsmen begged for the needle is a souvenir, but Turner guessed that his mother in Washington might like to move it. First Shown at Tribune Office M. B.

Barnes, Jr., has made noteworthy progress in recent years, as indicated by its far-reaching health program, touching every phase of life at the college, the enrichment of its curriculum, the augmentation of its staff of workers, and the formation of a definite program of inter-mural athletics.

He autographed this cartoon: then one of his "Believe-It-Or-Not" books, "To Rufus P. Turner With All Good Wishes, Ripley, Boston, 1834."

The Board held that the company had violated Section 7 (4) in summarily dismissing all of its skilled union workers, three of whom were colored and 32 white, and replacing them with non-union Negro workers. The company operated under a closed shop agreement with the Chicago Typographical Union, the Chicago Mailers' Union, the Chicago Web Pressmen's Union and the Chicago Stoccyptists' Union, and the Board found that the company's chief motive in the action which it took was to avoid the payment of the wage rates in the agreement. The board held that, "Where, as in this case, the employer has arrived at an understanding with the representatives of his employees regarding terms of employment, and he desires to change those terms, his duty under the statute is to consult and negotiate in good faith with the representatives of his employees in an endeavor to bring about the changes by mutual agreement. In other words, just as an employer is obligated to bargain collectively before modifying or terminating an agreement Subject To Suit The board further held that mere breach of contract was not in itself a violation of Section 7 (a) and that the violation in this case consisted in not negotiating with the unions for the purpose of endeavoring to effectuate mutually satisfactory modifications of the contract. If such negotiations had been conducted in good faith and had failed, the company might thereafter have proceeded to break its contract with the unions without violating Section 7 (a), although subject to suit for breach of contract. The company claimed that its (Continued on page 3) Y DELEGATES OFF FOR CONFERENCE The following delegates representing the District of Columbia area are attending the annual meeting of the National Council of the Young Men's Christian Associations being held in Cleveland, Ohio, October 25, 26, 27; A.

Adjustment Probable in Death of Woman Who Jumped from Car The likelihood of a settlement out of court in the suit threatened by Attorney J. Franklin Wilson on behalf of the family of Mrs. Augusta Scott, 1610 Church Street, Northwest, rested, late this week, as Attorney Wilson awaited the final decision of one of the two defendants. Mr. Wilson has made known his intention of suing for damages in the death of Mrs. Scott, on September 16.

Finley Wilson Defied by Morning Star and Columbia Lodges FISHER APPOINTMENT CALLED UNPOPULAR Charges Fired at Grand Exalted Ruler; Clash Over Respective Rights With both sides girded for battle the breach between J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler, and local lodges of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order Elks of the World, grew wider as developments followed one on the other during the week passed. The clash between the ruler of Elkdom and the Morning Star and Columbia Lodges of this city drew nearer a reality as the former stuck to his guns over the appointment of Dr. Charles Fisher as general chairman of the general committee to arrange for the entertainment of the next Grand Lodge convention scheduled for this city in 1935. Lodges Defiant Just as defiant, however, were the two lodges whose delegations met in joint session, last Saturday night and elected their own committee. This act, according to statements attributed to Mr. Wilson, is in direct conflict with the by-laws of the organization Mr. Wilson named beside Dr. Fisher, Cortez Peters and John T. Rhines as secretary and treasurer, respectively. In doing so he stated that he was acting on the prerogative of the grand exalted ruler in selecting the general committee on arrangements. The committee named by the lodges of the city in which the convention is to be held, Mr. Wilson declared, serve as subordinates to the committee selected by him. But the local lodges are not entertaining such an idea. Despite his claims, the joint meeting Saturday resulted in the election of Herbert E. Jones, past exalted ruler of Columbia Lodge, as the general chairman; Dr. Leo S. Holton, past exalted ruler of Morning Star Lodge as general vice chairman; Cortez Peters, Morning Star Lodge; as secretary; Dr. J. J. Proctor, Morning Star Lodge, as treasurer, and William H. Davis, Columbia Lodge, as corresponding secretary. BABY BASIS FOR DIVORCE ACTION Using the birth of a child as the basis for her allegations, Mrs. Anna Cox, 1507 S Street, Northwest, filed suit for absolute divorce on the grounds of adultery late last week. Otho N. Cox, 629 Harvard Street, Northwest, and Mrs. Gussie Neal of the same address, were named as co-defendants in the bill filed Friday through Attorney J. Louis Taylor. In her original petition, Mrs. Cox states that she and Mr. Cox were married on May 3, 1925, and that they lived together as man and wife until November 15, 1926. At that time, she avers, her husband deserted her During the eighteen months of their marriage, the plaintiff declares, Mr. Cox did little or nothing toward helping keep up the home and nothing toward the end of supporting her. She states that during the time of their marriage she did all the work, he refusing to do any. Stayed Out All Night In addition, she further states, he made a practice of staying out at nights, sometime all night. He showed a fondness for other women and bragged about it to her. She declares in her complaint that he nagged and harassed her about the disposition of funds which she earned. Continuing her allegations, Mrs. Cox declares that her husband, without her knowledge and consent, married Mrs. Neal on June 13, 1933. Out of this marriage, the complainant states, a child has been born. As a consequence, she charges military to the two during the months of June, July, August, 1933, and January, February, June and July, 1934. Large Number of National Organization Represented at Session A huge working committee was chosen at the joint meeting of delegations from the Morning Star and Columbia Elk Lodges, last Saturday night, toward the end of completing arrangements for the Grand Lodge convention to be held here next year.

FOREMAN IS OUT AS ADVISER By GARLAND MACHEY The prediction by the Tribune that the so-called "Black Cabinet" composed of sundry special advisors (spelled with an "e") and "o" would be abolished began to take definite form last week when Dr. Clark Foreman, white, special advisor on Negro affairs, was transferred from that position to special counsel to Secretary of Interior Ickes. In his new job as counsel Dr. Foreman will have nothing to do with advising on Negro affairs. From the bigwinning his appointment as head of the Negro set-up was strenuously opposed by leaders all over the country. The Tribune went into the fight several months ago when it developed that Dr. Foreman had not only done nothing since his appointment, but as a white native of Georgia he was totally unfit to advise on Negro affairs. The next slated to go is Eugene Kinckle Jones, advisor on Negro affairs, Department of Commerce Robert Vann, a special assistant to the Attorney General, in an article in his paper last week, admitted that Mr. Jones will return to his position with the New York Urban League. Mr. Jones and Mr. Vann are room mates and the editor of a Pittsburgh paper ought to know what he is talking about. Vann sports the title of special assistant. It is pointed out that many special and advisory jobs are no more than glorified messengers and rubber stamp advisers. Prediction Coming True In an exclusive article on September 29 The Tribune predicted the abolishment of the "Black Cabinet" as its existence merely lend official sanction to segregation and jim crow. Dr. Robert Weaver, who was assistant to Dr. Foreman has been appointed to the vacancy left by his late chief. John P.

The pastor preached Sunday at the 11 o'clock service. His subject was "God's Movement in a Growing Church." He said the church is not failing as so many would have one believe. It cannot fail, said the pastor, for Jesus has said that it should not fail. Speaking of God's care for His followers, the speaker said that God deals with the mind of man and directs and takes care of your temporal blessings. If you will do all that is in your power, then God will do His part. There are some things we ask God for which we do not need. Man cannot stand but so much for he soon forgets his fellowman.

J.—There is strong indication that the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church meeting here will adopt a resolution urging passage of a federal anti-lynching bill. On Wednesday Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, conferred with the bishops and urged passage of a federal law to cone with lynching. He pointed to the dire economic plight of the Negroes and charged that lynching is the chief means of perpetuating that condition. There had been no great outcry over the 17 lynchings so far this year, he said, because all of the victims were Negroes. The states will not or cannot stop lynching, he declared, and that while organizations with a total membership of 59,203,928 had endorsed the Custodian-Wagner bill, the active support of the Protestant Episcopal Church was sorely needed.

Ideal weather conditions offered as glamorous a setting as has been witnessed in many moons of football performance. Few, if any, topcoats or outer wrappings were in evidence and the assemblage appeared in the best of spirits at this game which has come to be one of the classics since Howard's reentrance into the C.I.A.A. Smith Points BALEIGH, N.C.—Continuing preparations for Saturday's game with Johnson C. Smith to be played here on the Shaw University Alumni Field the Shaw Bears went through stiff workouts during the past week. --- Although the game ended in a statemate, statistics indicate that the Virginians held a slight edge in every phase of the game except punting. For the State boys earned 13 first downs to Howard's 6. Virginia State gained 193 yards from scrimmage while the Bisons gathered 83 in this manner. The Trojans ran back punts a total of 61 yards to 26 for the Bisons. State attempted 5 forward passes, and completed 3 for total of 25 yards. Howard completed 6 out of ten passes, 2 of which were intercepted, gaining 22 yards thereby. Perkins of Howard punted the ball a total of 350 yards in 8 kicks, while Graves of Virginia State punted only 90 yards in 5. Va. State lost 29 yards scrimmaging while Howard lost 13. State drew penalties totaling 40 yards, Howard 30. Howard on Defensive Almost the entire game was played in Howard territory, but praise must be given the Bison forward wall which always stiffened when their goal was threatened. Once they held for downs on their own 7-yard line after a sustained drive by the Virginians had brought the ball from Virginia's 32-yard line to that point. Again the Bison held for downs on their 15-yard marker when the Virginians seemed on their way to score. Outstanding in the Howard backfield were Perkins, Armstrong and Williams. Perkins was a constant ground gainer, plunging through the line with speed and power. Williams substantial gains on several occasions on a deceptive triple reverse play, run from a double wing back formation. McGruder Stars In the line, Captain McGruder, was outstanding for the Bisons, playing a roving center. Graves, Houston and Rupel Perkins again bore the brunt of the Joan, attack. Graves thrilled the crowd with the longest run of the day from scrimmage, a 32-yard haunt around Howard's left end. He gained consistently all day. Houston, Virginia State's 145-pound half back from Oberlin, O., provided thrills on several occasions, chief of which was a return of a punt 35 yards after reversing his field to give time for State blockers to come to his aid, which they did in a beautifully effective manner. The feat which occurred late in the final quarter placed Virginia State on Howard's 34-yard yine.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 27 1934 BISONS OPEN '34 HOME SEASON SATURDAY BISONS OPEN '34 HOME SEASON SATURDAY W. Va. Yellowjackets to be Initial Opponents on Home Soil The first glimpse of the 1934 edition of the Howard University football-minded Bisons will be afforded Washington followers of the sport when the lid is pried off the home season of the Blue and White at their Stadium Saturday afternoon. Hostilities are slated to get under way at 2:30 o'clock. Having already played three games, all on the road, the Hill-toppers should be at the peak of their form for this, their inaugural under the West encore. Coach Charlie West, when approached by a Tribune reporter late this week was all smiles in anticipation of the showing he expects of his charges Saturday. Twofold Purpose The game with the Mountaineers will serve a double purpose. It will not only mean the first appearance of the Howardites on their home soil since the return of Dr. West as head coach, a position from which he was fired in 1928. It will also serve as an opportunity for the Bisons to avenge the defeat suffered at the hands of the Yellowjackets at Charleston last year. Each year the clash between the locals and the West Virginia outfit is looked forward to with expectancy by local gridiron enthusiasts. The invaders are always counted on to offer real dyed-in-the-wool football. To date the West Virginia team has lost one game while the Bisons have lost none, although playing a scoreless tie with the Virginia State College last week. The latter is reputed to be one of the strongest teams in the C.I.A.A., this year.

Although I am fully aware of the fact that should you knock me down and run over me on so deserted a thoroughfare as our Barnaby Street away after midnight you would not know me from Harry Milkowitch. I take the liberty to call you "friend." Friend you must be, Mr. Kofoed, not only to me but to every sports-loving colored man, woman or child in these United States (our land of the free), in order that your pen could form the words in so noble an article as appeared in your column of Wednesday, October 17, under the caption "Thrills in Sports."

Without further ado, friends and readers, let me introduce to you one of the rarest creatures to be encountered in the native land, a white MAN. Friends, meet Mr. Kofoed By Jack Kofoed The Negro athlete never has been deserved. His deeds have shunted it good many sections of this, our nation.

His deeds have shunted into the background in a good many sections of this, our native land. It is the penalty of color, of course. When publicity showers down on a black man it is usually on some eccentric like Battling Siki, who would be a credit to no race, white, black or brown; a Pan-like, insanely gay and drunkened fellow, who is better newspaper copy than he is an athlete. This isn't fair to the sober, intelligent men of his race... but the Negro hardly expects fairness. Whatever progress he makes is in the face of the immense handicaps of prejudice and mildewed tradition. Do you remember Howard Drew, the first Negro to win a place on an Olympic team?...or Sol Butler, of Dubuque, who won the broad jump in the Inter-Allied games after the war? He was given his decoration by the King of Monte-negro, and kissed on both cheeks by that monarch, much to his embarrassment? Robeson a Physical Marvel. They may have slipped your mind possibly have.

He, too, served in France, and after hostilities traveled about with a colored theatrical troupe. His voice was remarkable even then, and everyone knows that he has since become one of the greatest of American concert singers. If you are a football fan of mature standing the names of Duke Slater and Fritz Pollard must arouse memories of thrilling afternoons on the gridiron. Slater was the giant linesman at Iowa, who brought the Hawkeyes a Big Ten title. Pollard, with his quicksilver heels, as a back would have been a sensation in any season. He, as the star of the Brown team, helped to dedicate the Yale Bowl in 1916...and was the primary factor in beating Cupie Black's great eleven, 6—o. There was Ned Gourdin, too, of Harvard, a broad-jumper, who was the first man in the world to better 25 feet, when he did 25.6 in the meet between Yale-Harvard and Oxford-Cambridge. Ned was a teammate of Ellis Vander Pyl, now one of the best known radio personalities in the Middle West. I have dug into the past for these Negro collegians, who made athletic history, but there are quite a few in the bustling present, who deserve orchids, too. Simmons Runs Where "They Ain't."

Simmons expressed his gridiron philosophy by pointing out that toting the leather to town is just a question of going where the tacklers ain't. And there is a young man on the Michigan State team, who was a great factor in the upset of the Wolverines a week ago last Saturday. His name eludes me at the moment, and since I am writing this far from the morgue, where I might consult yesterday's forgotten paper, I'll have to skip it... but he is quite some buttons as a footballer. Even a casual glance at the doings of the Negro athlete... and this cannot be anything more than casual...should not overlook Jesse Owens, who will enter his sophomore year at Ohio State in the not very far distant future. Last Winter, though only a high school boy, Jesse wrote his name large in track-and-field biography. He broke scholastic records in the 100- and 220-yard dashes, and is the current national broad jump champion. That's something, but young Owens probably never will reap ten per cent of the notice that would have been given a white youngster for exactly the same feats. Well, it may not be fair, but it is a condition that very definitely exists...and what are you going to do about it if you don't like it? John L.

The black prizefighter has been the most prominent... and the most unfortunate... of his athletic brethren. John L. Sullivan established the "color line" because Peter Jackson was so good that he might have stripped the mighty Bostonian of his honors. Since then the color line has been a convenient excuse for champions who really weren't too much champion at heart. The ring has had no brighter lights since its earliest days than Joe Gans, Joe Walcott, Sam Langford and Jack Johnson... in sheer ability, I mean. The only argument concerning Gans, the Old Master, is whether he or Benny Leonard should be judged the greatest of all lightweight. Walcott, the Barbados Demon, and Langford neither had a superior in his class, and Johnson; admittedly, was as clever a defensive heavyweight as ever lived. None, save Johnson, made the money much less skillful men than themselves earned... and the answer, of course, was the color of their skins. We aren't very fair about it, for if a man is a sportsman it shouldn't matter in competition if he is white, red, brown or black. This idea may not click with the one hundred per cent bottled-in-bond Nordic, but it is a truism nons the less. You couldn't find a more natural gentleman or greater artist than Paul Robeson, and those who were teammates of Gourdin and Pollard and Drew will tell you the same about them. But they labored under the same handicap that beset the Sikis and the Walcotts. Union Favored Over Tigers at Richmond Saturday RICHMOND, Va.—The powerful Virginia Union Panthers will meet the Tigers from St. Paul Normal and Industrial Institute on the gridiron at Hovey Field, here Saturday. --- Mr. Jack Kofeed, My dear Friend: 一 Substitute Stars as Florida Rallies, Ties Claflin Claflin Panthers surprised the Florida Rattlers Friday afternoon at Claflin Field when they crossed the last white line for the first touchdown of the game at the beginning of the second quarter. MINER RALLIES TO DEFEAT CHENEY ELEVEN,18-6 Wiggins and Covington, Tech Graduates, Aid McNeil, Tignor Also Star CHEYNEY, Pa.—Rallying in the third quarter, the Miner Teachers' College football team pushed over three touchdowns in quick succession. Saturday—defeating Cheyney by 18 to 6. Cheyney outplayed her visitors throughout the first half and scored one touchdown. McNeil began Miner's march to victory when he caught a long pass and carried the ball down to the Cheyney's four-yard line. Tignor plunged across the goal from there for Miner's first touchdown. Staging a series of first-downs, with Forsythe and Wiggins making wide gains around the end, Miner was at Cheyney's goal again in the next five minutes of play. Covington intercepted one of Cheyney's long passes and carried the ball thirty-five yards down the field, making possible a third, Miner touchdown. Cheyney scored in the second quarter with a long pass from Hightower to Hunt. Hunt, Cheyney's swift halfback, received the ball when between two Miner players, and got away for a touchdown. In the final quarter Cheyney tried desperately to put over again the passes which had gained much ground at the beginning of the game. But her plays proved ineffective and the quarter ended without any change in the score. Covington . . . L.E. . . . Robinson Ware . . . T. . . . Jones Crutchfield . . . L.G. . . . Brooks Stewart . . .

While rambling around I discovered this inspiring verse in a book I've had for many years. They are words well-placed in describing the lives of men and women today, in more than one sense. The first stanza teaches us, our true progress is slow and painstaking, so that one's permanent success will come not until we have undergone the experiences, losses upon losses, and many heart-breaking "near victories." In the second line we are told our fundamental setting must come from within ourselves, that we should be careful in laying our foundation for the work that is ahead whether in sports or otherwise. For it is evident, if a person exhibits continual carelessness, he is likely to do so at the crucial moment, because of the gumption to eradicate this fault in the beginning. The third line is very much in comparison to the rich man and the poor beggal, regarding religion wherein salvation is free to both. The doors of success are open to the lowest and poorest as well as the mighty rich. Both must come by the road of diligent study and experience. Golf is very much in unison with the last line of this beautiful poem, for players must improve round by round or get worse, in like manner. I sometimes wonder if this poet were ever familiar with the games. I have tried to give you my humble explanation of these beautiful lines, in a golf sense, or what one may say, the directions for a successful career. Perhaps you may see them in a much different light. But all in all I'm sure we are bound to derive some benefits from the instructions if we but only hoed them. *** For those who care to practice during the winter, why not take advantage of the Polo field located close by the West Potomac golf course? Here one may practice to his heart's desire. Very few of our golfers are ever seen over there, but are entitled to this privilege and are never molested. When I journey over there to hit a few shots I seldom miss my laugh in watching the white players giving our boys plenty of room. So never worry about finding a place to hit from, for if you are crowded at the start, you soon will see the "others" watching, or moving up to the practice tee, at the other end of the field. The boys who have been over there won't have any trouble understanding this I'm sure. "On Youse Golfers Again!"

Tigers Put Up Fight The score of the game does not indicate the closeness of the battle. Played on a muddy field, with both backfields finding much difficulty in getting under way, Tuskegee deserved much credit for being able to pile up six first downs to Wikberforce's two. The Tigers made three "firsts" almost in a row in one concentrated drive in the first half, but lacked the punch to push it across the goal line when they neared touchdown territory. Tuskegee fought all the way, however, with Mobley competently directing the offense despite the absence of a wealth of seasoned backs which he had in last year's battle which ended in a scoreless tie. Too Much Junius Wilberforce again used to advantage her sensational little quarterback, Junius, one of the 'Forcean's best threats. Junis flashed three times for brilliant zigzag run of 15 yards or more which brought the fans to their feet. Van Jenkins, Jack Hart, McGinnis, and Johnson also played great ball for 'Force, with Cleveland, Waterford, Knight, the hard-plunging Thompson, and L. Johnson trying with might and main to match their wares with the Ohioans. One of the most thrilling moments of the day occurred when Tuskegee worked the ball all the way down to the 4-yard line and then a 'Force penalty for offside put the pigskin on the 2-yard marker. From that point the Tigers bucked and plunged three successive times but the 'Forceon forward wall would not budge more than a yard and a half and Tuskegee's greatest chance went a-glimmering.

C. eleven last Sunday afternoon at Green Valley Park. Va. it was a slam-bang contest from start to finish with the final outcome in doubt up to the closing minutes. The two teams battled on even terms throughout the first period and it was not until the waning moments of the half that the Trees were able to climax a sustained drive by placing the ball over the last white mark. Each team threatened on numerous occasions during the pastime, but only once did the Saints stand as a serious menace to the Southwesterners' goal line. D. Ford made a nice return of a Tree punt, reeling off a lengthy run in the act. With their backs to the wall the ventual winners stalled off their opponents until a timely penalty set the Churchmen back. Jimmy Price, shifty, hard-hitting fullback of the winners, went over for the lone touchdown of the game after W. Butler had wound up a series of line-bucks by edging the oval up to the 4-yard line. Price failed to convert the extra point. IMPROVED SEASIDE ELEVEN TRIUMPHS OVER N.C. STATE IMPROVED SEASIDE ELEVEN TRIUMPHS OVER N.C. STATE Hampton Gridders Count 20-0 Win; Hopson, Elusive Back, Shines HAMPTON INSTITUTE—Before the game last Saturday when asked by the cheerleader, "What's the matter with the team?" the Hampton rooters rose and responded with a mighty shout, "Team's all right." And it was. The machine that crushed Coach Townsend's North Carolina State "Eagles" 20-0 looked far different from the outfield that had previously bowed to Bluefield and Virginia State. Gid Smith had made another survey of his hopefuls and built up a new line, one that charged fast enough to keep even the flashy Dooms bottled up. Going back to his old policy of having a heavy line, the seaside mentor turned loose a combination that began to look like a Hampton team of old. Inspired by the apparently flawless generalship of Little Pig Baylor, 129-pounder, and the hip-twisting of the freshman halfback, Raymond Hopson, who scored nearly all the points, the Pirates had all the carmarks of a real football team.

Faces Tough Foes in Next Two GREENSBORO N.C. — Coach Breaux's 1934 edition of the Aggie Bulldogs will have its hands full for the next two weeks for it meets in succession two of the strongest teams of the Association, Virginia State and Lincoln. The A. and T-State game Saturday will be played under the lights of the Greensboro Stadium. With plenty of reserve material the Aggies should emerge from the State game stronger than at any time during the season, regardless of the outcome. The Home Coming game with Lincoln will be the hardest game of the Aggie schedule. Last year a much smarter Aggie team was tied by the Lions after outplaying them throughout the game. The Aggies are determined to wipe out this black mark. Alabama State Scores Over Clark, 20-6 ATLANTA, Ga., — The Alabama State Hornets, smarting under successive non-conference defeats at the hands of Wilberforce and Southern after crushing Xavier in the opening contest, made their conference debut here this afternoon with a rejuvenated lineup, led by the imitable "Red" Fields, Milwaukee flash, to gain a smashing 20-6 victory over the light inexperienced but undaunted Clark University 'Panthers.

Vic Harris, Crawford Outfielder, Engages in Battle With Umpire PITTSBURGH, Pa.—A free-for-all fight which all but broke up a game between the Pittsburgh Crawfords and a picked team of whites all-stars headed by Dizzy and Daffy Dean, here Tuesday. The Crawfords won the contest, 4-3 when play was resumed after general fisticus in which players and fans engaged. According to reports the rumpus started in the last of the fifth inning. With the Dean team leading 3 to 1, Vic Harris, center fielder for the Negro nine, was safe on a bunt and went to second when Catcher George Susse's throw was wide to first. Dizzy raced in from center field, where he retired after pitching two innings, pointing out to Umpire James Ahearn that Harris didn't touch first base. The umpire called the runner out. Harris immediately started arguing the point that the umpire should pay no heed to Dizzy who was offering an opinion on a play at first base from his position in center field. In the heat of the words the star colored outfielder allegedly picked up a mask and struck the arbiter in the head with it. That started the firing with men on both teams "mixing it" and the spectators vaulting into the park to join in the rumpus. A squad of bluecoats charged onto the field and restored peace. LIONS BOW BEFORE MORGAN BEARS BY SCORE OF 19-0 Lincoln Outfit Outclassed in Clash With C.I.A.A. Champs at Baltimore BALTIMORE, Md.—The Morgan Bears won from the Lincoln Lions to the tune of 19 to 0, on Saturday, in Bugle Field, here before 1,000 ardent and enthusiastic fans. With the sound of the initial whistle, Crawford kicked to Lincoln. On the second down Lincoln fumbled with the recovery by T. Brown of Morgan. On the next play a pass from Simpson to Crawford who raced 30 yards, accounted for the first 6 points. Morgan's try for extra point was blocked. From this point on to the end of the first quarter many punts were exchanged. Play see-sawed through most of the early part of the second quarter. In the late stages Troupe passed to Crawford who darted between the uprights for an additional 6 points. His try for extra point went wide. The half ended with Morgan 12. LUNCH 0. The third quarter started with Morgan kicking to Lincoln's 30-yard line. After three attempts at line plunges Lincoln kicked to Morgan, Simpson receiving the pigskin at midfield to scamper 15 yards before being brought down, Troupe, now acting Captain, scouted right end for 19 yards to Lincoln's 21 yard line for a first down. On the next play Troupe did the same thing, this time for 15 yards. Simpson ran off tackle for the necessary 6 yards and a touchdown Crawford's kick for extra point was good. The last quarter featured a number of passes by Lincoln two of which were completed. The game ended with no further scoring.

WALKER E. S. FUNN THIRTEEN V 148 Ambling About Among Amusement Artists The sorette of those so-called and long gone "good old days," when traveling theatrical troupes were wont to fold up and find themselves stranded somewhere in the hinterland would have had no terrors for Cab Calloway and his orchestra. For Cab and his bandmen have the makings, rather, the makers of a model village. If worse came to worse, say, if the band were marooned on an isolated island in the South Seas, the horn tooters would have only to lay down their instruments and go to work. For instance, there is Lamar Wright, trumpeter, who was once a bricklayer and a steel worker. He would have the assistance of Walter P. Thomas, saxophone-clarinetist, who before music led him affield, was a carpenter. The two builders would be aided by Leroy Maxey, drummer, who in the distant past was an expert mechanic. There would be a tailor shop in charge of Andrew J. Brown, who once plied the needle and thread. Arvelle S. Harris, saxophone-clarinetist, could set up a shoe shop, for he once worked in a shoe factory. Edwin Swayze, trumpeter, has been a shoe salesman. The community newspaper would fall to the lot of Harris and DePriest (Trombone) Wheeler, both of whom worked in print shops. A billiard parlor? Yes, Adolphus Anthony Cheathain, trumpet player, once ran one.

George Brent, Bette Davis, Ann Dvorak and a strong cast offer "House Wife" on Howard's screen for a week. :-Howard :- "Musicana" is the moniker attached to the stage show scheduled for a week at the Howard Theatre, beginning tomorrow (Friday). The revue, said to be different from most of the footlight offerings now doing the rounds, promises a variety of the most delightful type. Amy Spencer, the fiery red-head who has been called the "darling of New York's Cotton Club," will head the revue. Her personality and zest in her new type of fan dance promises to thrill patrons at the T-Street playhouse. Miss Spencer is the same enticing soul who worked two years with the Cab Calloway unitfit. She is one of several stars who occupy the leading roles in the vehicle. Bert Howell, the sepia Morton Downey, Glenn and Jenkins, unusual comedy team, and forty-five or more others are traveling along with the unit. Featured on the screen, Better Davis, George Brent and Ann Dvojak in "Housewife," a powerful drama, with a love war between a modern housewife and a flapper. She was only a wife and a mother, the other a home wrecker. What does the man of today prefer, a housewife or a flapper? -:-Republic-:- The season's greatest dramatic hit, "The Barretts of Wimpole Street," with Norma Shearer, Fredric March and Charles Laughton in the leading roles, will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre for the week beginning Friday. This picture recently played two weeks at the Palace Theatre in Washington, and is now in its fourth week at the Capitol Theatre in New York. The only other picture ever to play the Capitol Theatre for four weeks was "Flesh and the Devil," starring Greta Garbo and John Gilbert. In "The Barretts of Wimpole Street," movie-goers will have the opportunity of seeing the three winners of the annual Motion Picture Academy Award appear together. The performance of each is so finished, so smooth and rich that comparison is impossible. Miss Shearer, the star, naturally carry the brunt of the film—and carries it with all the grace and charm and polish that made "Riptide" and "Smiling Through" the successes they were. If you want to see a great drama, see "The Barrett's of Wimpole Street." ::Booker T.:: After breaking all attendance records at the Lincoln, Mae West in "Belle of the Nineties," with Duke Ellington and His Orchestra, will play a return engagement at the Booker T. for one week, beginning Friday.

A colored chorus of 100 voices provides the setting for one of her musical numbers. With bigger and better Mae West wise-cracks, "Belle of the Nineties" is her out-standing hit to date. If you missed this picture at the Lincoln, don't fail to see it at the Booker T.

Garlington Army Man Who Placed Blame on Negro Soldiers for Shooting Forage in Texas Town Dies in California (CNS)—Brigadier General Ernest A. Garlington, former inspector-general of the Army, who was mainly responsible for "persuading" President Theodore Roosevelt that Negro soldiers "shot up" Brownsville, Texas, in August 1906, died in Coronado, Calif., last week, "unhonored and unsung by the thousands of Negro soldiers formerly under his command in many campaigns in the West. town had been "shot up" more than a dozen times before August 1906. $100,000 Spent A grand jury investigation by county authorities found no testimony upon which to base an indictment. In addition to that the government, under orders from President Theodore Roosevelt conducted three other separate investigations, and spent nearly $100. On the night of August 13 and 14, 1906, a shooting occurred in the town of Brownsville, Texas. One private citizen, a barkeeper, was killed; a lieutenant of the police was wounded. Taking a cue from the prejudiced Southern citizens that Negro soldiers of Fort Brown, just outside of the town had "shot up" the town. Inspector General Garlington, entered upon the first investigation of the affray assuming that the men were guilty. In the language of the late Senator Joseph R. Foraker, of Ohio, "at no time did it occur to him (General Garlington) that any but soldiers could have done it." And this conclusion, notwithstanding the LEESBURGH. VA.

In addition to that the government, under orders from President Theodore Roosevelt conducted three other separate investigations, and spent nearly $100,000, but was never able to "convict" any men of the battalion. President Roosevelt, without ordering a court martial of any of the men, adopted General Garlington's deduction that there was a "conspiracy of silence" to protest from 9 to 20 men of the battalion who had done the shooting. On November 9, 1906, 156 men of Companies B, C, and D of the 25th Infantry were by name discharged without honor, charged with a conspiracy of silence. The testimony taken showed that the record of each company, down to the time of the shooting was without any kind of stain or blemish. Almost all of the men had served more than one enlistment. Their terms of service ranged all the way from five to six years up to more than twenty years. Sergeant Mingo Sanders, of Company B, had served continually for twenty-six years and counting double-time allowances for services outside of the United States had only 18 months to serve, when he would have been entitled to retire on three-quarter pay with all the rights and allowances provided by law for men who had served continuously for 30 years. Troops not Welcome There was abundant testimony that prior to the arrival of the colored troops on Saturday, July 28, four weeks prior to the shooting, there were ugly expressions—among them that "the Negro troops will not stay long if they do come." The government proceeded upon the Garlington theory that seven or eight men of the battalion did the shooting and that all the others entered into a conspiracy of silence to shield them. The opposition led by Senator Foraker, proceeded upon the theory that there was a conspiracy, but that it was to get rid of the colored soldiers who would not trade in town, Brownsville, and put up with indignities. All of the 156 discharged men are said to have put the blame for President Roosevelt's drastic dismissal order on General Garlington. Included in the 156 nained men were 51 from Company B; 51 from Company C; 47 from Company D; 2 from Company A; 1 from Company G; 3 from Troop S; and 1 from Troop A. Sergeant Mingo Sanders, died in Freedmen's Hospital here several years, ago still claiming that the Garlington theory of the shooting robbed him of a constitutional right to retirement in 1906. Sergeant Sanders also put blame on Major A. P. Blockson and Assistant Attorney General M. D. Purdy for their part in gathering ex parte testimony to convince the President that the Garlington theory was right.

(CNS)—Mrs. Eliza Nero, who is believed to be the State's oldest pioneer, died here last week following a short illness from complications incident to old age. The deceased, 118 years old, was active almost to the time of her death; and just two days before she died, had completed a quilt which she made entirely herself. According to surviving relatives Mrs. Nero was born a slave on a Mississippi farm in 1816, and came with her parents to Oklahoma, when Indians moved west out of the State, after being given a grant in Indian Territory. The family settled on a farm near where the southern Oklahoma town of Woodford now is, and for 110 years Mrs. Nero had lived virtually in the same section. For the past several years she lived with her son, Columbus Nero. Oldest Woman in United States Dies in Missouri KANSAS CITY, Mo.

SALESMANSHIP OPPORTUNITIES UNLIMITED Earn While You Learn Full or Part Time From $10.00 to $35.00 or More Per Week The urge to help furnish lucrative employment for intelligent men and women of our group has furnished the impetus for arrangement to be made with several large firms for the appointment of competent salesmen and sales ladies for evening or full time work. These persons will be employed to sell standard merchandise of national reputation when accepted. To meet the demand for well qualified representatives, the Cortez W. Peters School of Speed Typewriting and Shorthand, 1341 U Street, Northwest, is offering a course in Scientific Salesmanship with classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Aside from those whose specialty is selling, there are those such as beauticians, stenographers, and others of varied professions to whom a scientific course in Salesmanship would be a great asset. Never before were so many opportunities open to colored persons in this field. Increased training means increased earning. This course will be offered for only $2.50 per month.

SPLIT LOOMS (Continued on page 1) All were elected by unanimous votes. Fisher Unmoved Notwithstanding rumors that the appointment of Dr. Fisher was unpopular and that the two lodges had moved to "go to bat" with the supreme head, the exalted ruler's choice began preparations for the work he feels is ahead of him. Dr. Fisher called his initial meeting at the Morning Star Lodge Tuesday night at which time he outlined his plans to representatives of the lodges and temples located in the city. Appointment of the various committees will come at a later date. Dr. Fisher left this morning (Thursday) for an extended trip through the middle west in the interest of the program of the entertainment. He expects to return to Washington early in November. Across Wilkesboro Farm Meanwhile, officials of the two lodges maintained that the right to prepare for the entertainment of the grand lodge rested with the subordinate lodges located in the city of the next convention. With this in mind they went about their own plans. One individual sought out for a statement in regard to the turn of affairs agreed that the lodges were doing no more than exercising their constitutional rights. A former ranking official in the organization, he declared that Mr. Wilson is overstepping his bounds in dictating to the lodges in this matter. Says Wilson Would "Look Big" This man, who requested that his name be withheld, even went so far as to spike the report that it was customary for the grand exalted ruler to name the host general chairman. It has not been done before, he declared. Still another accused Mr. Wilson of making an attempt to "look big" in his home city. With both sides adamant; it appeared to the Tribune that four avenues were open to the solution of the problem, the hope for the whole question of scholarship awards in the nine schools and colleges of the university. The board has decided to hold an adjourned meeting during the month of January so as to provide at least three stated meetings of the board during the current year, use of two, however, being almost abandoned. It appears hardly probable at this writing that either side will be willing to accede or compromise. These two avenues closed, it begins to appear that a split local faction will entertain the convention or the fourth will be resorted to. This last solution would be the moving of the convention to another city, which power is vested in the grand exalted ruler provided it is done not less than 90 days before the date THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 27, 1934 In a statement to the Tribune this week Mr. Wilson declared, "I am still the grand exalted ruler and Dr. Fisher will serve or I will move the grand lodge session to another city. Both Philadelphia and Boston want to entertain the convention and Fisher will be general chairman or one of these cities will be host." It developed that Baltimore has offered to be host to the grand lodge if difficulties in Washington prevent it from being held here. "I am the boss and I will be for two more years," declared the grand exalted ruler. "This is rebellion and sedition and these lodges can be tried and put out of the order. If Jones is to be-chairman there will be no grand lodge session in Washington," the fiery ruler of Elkdom stated.

SAYS POLICEMAN FORCED HER TO CONFESS CRIME SAYS POLICEMAN FORCED HER TO CONFESS CRIME (Continued from page 1 ) confessed that she prayed to God to remove her mother from this world, but becoming discouraged she decided that there was only one way out. She allegedly obtained an ax from the yard and entered the house where her mother was reclining on a cot. The statement by the policeman said that the daughter struck the aged woman on the head. The blow was a powerful one, but did not knock the old woman senseless. She staggered about the room and fell on the floor. She was struck two more blows with the ax. When the daughter saw blood she became excited, ran upstairs, ransacked a trunk and then came back to the room where her mother was and tried to wash the blood from the floor and her stockings.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 27, 1974 BRAMLETTE SUIT HEARING SET FOR TUESDAY Woman Seeks Redress for Alleged Mistreatment in Seventh Street Shop Opening of the hearing in the damage suit against Mine. T. G. Bramlette Willis, widely known local beauty specialist, has been set for Tuesday, the Tribune learned late this week through Attorney Charles H. Houston, who will represent Mine, Bramlette Willis. Mrs. Bramlette is being sued by Elise Woods, 132 Florida Avenue, Nothwest, for alleged mistreatment at the 1532 Seventh Street shop of the defendant. The suit is in the amount of $5,100. The woman asks $5,000 for nervous shock and humiliation, and $100 for medical attention to an arm, which she claims was injured. According to the petition, the prospective customer went to the beauty shop on May 9, 1933, to get a finger wave. She took a seat in the waiting room. Mmc. Bramlette Willis is alleged to have said to one of her employees or pupils, by way of illustration, to Yvie Woods' hair "This will have to be straightened before it can be waved." Didn't Want Iron Later, when Miss Woods's turn came, she explained that she wished a finger wave. The beauty operator is declared to have remarked. "You have just heard me say that your hair will have to be straightened before you can get it waved." Miss Woods objected to straightening or a hot iron on her hair. Mme. Bramlette Willis is then said to have shoved Miss Woods through the waiting room door, exclaiming that she had fixed better hair and would throw her out. Miss Woods also contends that she was called abusive names. Miss Woods says in her petition that when the door was slammed, her arm and shoulder were caught between the door and door frame, causing injuries. Julian D. Rainey Visitor in the Capital Julian D.

DEFENDER FORCED DEFENDER FORCED --- (Continued from page 1) (Continued from page 1) reason for discharging the union workers and supplanting them with Negroes was to meet the criticism of Negro readers of the paper who insisted that Negroes only should be employed at the plant. The board found, however, that the real motive of the company was to save money. Three of the discharged men were Negroes. The unions accept Negroes to membership, and despite the fact that the company for six months had secretly been making its preparations for the change, it did not take the matter up with the unions in any way. The Board pointed out that "the social wisdom or the economic desirability of a determination by Negro employers to employ only Negro workers is not an issue in this case." To Pay Back Wages The board directed the company to reinstate the dshcharged employees within ten days, to pay them the wages which they lost, and to negotiate with the unions in an endeavor to bring about acceptable modifications of the agreement with the unions. The board urged the unions to make every effort in such negotiations to reach a satisfactory adjustment with the company, taking into account its financial condition and its desires in the matter of substituting Negroes for white workers. The board also authorized the Chicago Regional Labor Board to modify or strike out the provision for back wages, if satisfied upon a hearing that the company was financially unable to make such restitution. Case Was Appealed The case came before the board on an appeal by the Chicago Defender, Inc., from a decision of the Chicago Regional Labor Board holding that the company had violated Section 7 (a). The company operates under the Graphic Arts Code, and displays the Blue Eagle both at its plant and on the mast-head of its newspaper. Prior to the controversy in question, the company, for a period of 28 years, employed both white men and Negroes, the skilled work being done chiefly by white men. During this period the company operated under closed shop agreements with the printing trades' unions. No written contracts were in force but the company each year verbally agreed to be bound by the terms of the Publishers' Association contracts with the several unions.

The Scottish Rite Memorial Service by Jonathan Davis Consistory was also a feature on the program. The Grand See of the Southern Jurisdiction is held every three years in Washington. The conven- tion was represented by members from Arkansas, Mississippi, West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland. The thirty-third degree was conferred on the following members: Lewis W. Roy, Washington; Roy S. Bond and George A. Fitzhugh, Baltimore, Me. The newly elected officers are John S. Webb, grand minister of state, and George A. Fitzhugh, grand treasurer general, replacing W.

Murray, a fellow associate and pal in our organization brings us to realize that the span of life is very short after all; and that the least any of us may do is to take admonition from that One and great Commandment (under which he lived) "Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you." A Leaf From Communism Regardless of what one thinks of Communism it has certainly taught the Negro one lesson, and that is the value of mass protest. The Scottsboro boys would have been dead long ago and forgotten unless the officials of the State of Alabama and other government officers had not been bombarded with protests from all over the country. We do not believe it was the brilliance of the lawyers in the case as much as it was the voice of the people that has kept and is keeping these youths alive. Whether one wishes to believe it or not, practically all of our officers are politicians, and being human they love their jobs. Popularity is the main as set of public officials. They do not like to have hundreds and thousands of prospective voters howling at their heels, because vote mean money to office-holders. Negroes may tear a leaf from the book of Communism and use it to advantage. The psychology of a parade of hundreds of persons massing in protest has its effect on the strongest of us. The weapon of mass protest is no new, but it certainly has been developed to a high degree by members of the Communist party. A parade or two in the interest of a cause has also been proven to add weight to a grievance.

Jobs for the Needy One is led to wonder what sort of an investigation is being made of persons who are receiving aid from the government under the Federal Emergency Relief Administration after seeing a number of men and women receiving checks at the Franklin Administration Building any pay day. Some 50 or more are employed as clerks and teachers here in the District and by the expensive appearance of these so-called "needy" persons it's the regularly employed who need aid. Many came in their own cars of late model while others came in taxicabs. All were dressed in the latest fall style and some of the clothes bordered on the expensive. Many of those who are employee come of families who are well off and some have parents who are employed in the government and many live at home. It is also said that many of those holding down these white collar jobs are using the money merely to buy the luxuries of life as they live at home with parents who can well afford to care for them. On the other hand there are hundreds of persons here in destitute circumstances who are in need of the necessary life and a job would be a good send. Let's hope this relief business has not become a racket and the chosen few with sufficient "pull" are not given jobs that ought to go to the really needy.

Prejudice Looming The green-eyed monster, race prejudice, is looming up in the office of the attendance department of the public schools of the District. Mrs. Alice C Sheldon, whose appointment will not be made permanent until next March is showing racial bias unbecoming the position she is filling. She has introduced three sets of cards into all the public schools of Washington which carries this designation "Race-White, negro, others." (Notice the capital letter W, for white and the small n in Negro). The public schools of Washington The green-eyed monster, race prejudice, is looming up in the office of the attendance department of the public schools of the District. Mrs. Alice C, Sheldon, whose appointment will not be made permanent until next March, is showing racial bias unbecoming the position she is filling. She has introduced three sets of cards into all the public schools of Washington which carries this designation "Race—White, negro, others." (Notice the capital letter W, for white and the small n in Negro). The public schools of Washington, where children are supposed to be taught capitalization, should not print and distribute misspelled words. The small "n" in Negro is not only erroneous but a direct slap at the Negro. This is a demonstration of Mrs.Shelden's prejudice, ignorance or indifference, either of which is a trait not becoming one in her position. There is no designation "white. Negro. others" in the law and commonly used language referring to the dual system of schools here. The schools are designated by divisions one to thirteen, and the students are referred to There is resident in the human soul a hope that springs forever. The bepuzzled Negro somehow hopes that in the final fetching up of things he will find himself on equal terms with the rest. But how to bring about this equality he frankly does not know. Although he is listless he is still hopeful. The statesmanship of the world is engrossed today with the readjustment of the usufruct of labor among the producers in light of the advanced stage of machinery and efficiency. It is easy to interpret what is going on in Russia, Italy, Germany, England, Japan and America because of such advancement. In the language of the poet "The individual withers and the world is more and more." A hundred and fifty years ago, before the oncoming of the industrial revolution, human rights constituted the all-engaging theme. The American Revolution, the French Revolution, the liberation of South America and the liberalization of Europe were forthcoming in response to the onsweeping demand. The abolition of slavery in the West Indies, North and South America, and in Russia followed in due time. The World War might well be taken as a marking point in the turning of the tide.

WOODROW WILSON DELIVERED A STAGGERING BLOW What Woodrow Wilson strove so gallantly to interpret as a war for democracy, served as a staggering blow, if not a knock-out to the democratic idea which had dominated political though for more than a century up to that time. Since then the economic idea has been predominant. Erstwhile free people have voluntarily surrendered their boasted liberty to the demand of the politico-economic machine. The dictator is in the saddle, put and maintained there by the voluntary surrender of hard-earned rights. Neibheh Staling, Mussolini, Hitler, Roosevelt, nor any other dictator could hold sway for one month unless it rested upon the acquiescence, avowed or tacit, of the people over whom they preside. Indeed dictatorship is essential to an age of machinery and efficiency. Henry Ford could not operate his factory on the democratic principle were this not so. America was the first nation to dramatize the democratic principle and to embody it in formal government. But this same America when confronted by the emergency which technocracy has forced upon it, elected a Congress which centralized power in Roosevelt's hands to be used by him according to his enlightened conscience and best judgment. There is no genuine protest against such concentration of power except that which comes from defeated politicians. The Republican Party, in order to keep up its organization, has seized upon this unusual grant of power and hopes to gain political advantage by the protestation. But it is more than an even bet that should the Grand Old Party, by any stroke of fortune, find itself in control of affairs, it would adopt essentially the same procedure as that against which they so bitterly complain in the hour of defeat. Ex-President Hoover, the expiring embodiment of the doctrine of rugged individualism, has recently eulogized liberty in terms of eighteenth century panegyrics. But it should be carefully noted that his panegyrics have sole reference to the rights of the individual of rugged powers to exploit his talent to pile up unlimited millions, unhindered by governmental restraint. There was not in the remotest recesses of his mind, the thought of the right of the forgotten man to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as penned by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence.

This is an evil day for strongly marked minorities in all parts of the world. The dominant forces now in control of the machinery of government are according to them only secondary consideration. The American Negro unconsciously senses this. The white Americans have grown indifferent to their claim for equal rights. They are bored with the everlasting Negro question. The fifteenth amendment intended solely for the benefit of the Negro, and that portion of Now coming nearer home—how does all of this relate itself to the situation of the American Negro in the year of Our Lord, 1934?

The fifteenth amendment intended solely for the benefit of the Negro, and that portion of the fourteenth amendment tending to the same purport no longer constitute a live issue in their minds. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is still hammering vigorously on cold iron. The Negro is left to shift for himself as best he may. Both parties are keenly anxiously for his vote in West Virginia, Maryland and Missouri where local sentiment permits the unrestricted use of the franchise. But neither Democratic or Republican gives a damn for him politically in Virginia, which his elimination has been acquiesced in on all sides. There is no clarion note in the present campaign. Negro spellbinders, Democratic and Republican, are whooping candidates of their choice on special grounds. None are expecting affirmative results. The intellectual energy of the race has turned to other fields. It is looking forward to the new order shortly to be ushered in rather than to the bygone dispensation which is either past and gone or is passing and going. There is resident in the human soul a hope that springs forever. The be-puzzled Negro somehow hopes that in the final fetching up of things he will find himself on equal terms with the rest.

Mrs. Shelden is also showing her prejudice in her persecuting and prosecuting of Mrs. Frames Cardozo, who is serving as an attendance officer in the Northwest section of the city. If we are not careful Mrs. Shelden will put Mrs. Cardozo out and transfer that salary to some place in divisions one to nine. THE WASKETT CO. OCTOBER 27, 1921 What the Depression Has Taught Us BY CHARLES M. THOMAS What the Depression Has Taught Us BY CHARLES M. THOMAS Because, "The eye sees in a thing what the eye brings means of seeing," or because things and conditions are seen with all that has been seen, rather than by a single look, this great depression has brought to the fore some very definite knowledge about life. Social events have three proportions, they extend into the past, they occur here and now in the present, and they indicate the trend in the future. It has always been so, but most of us have been dependent upon custom and ideas handed to us by tradition, hence we are not inclined to make use of the modern or scientific way of measuring and arranging facts. The failure of the Capitalistic system to move forward along lines of continued prosperity is no new phenomenon. Nineteen hundred years ago, it was pointed out, "The poor ye have always with you," and the Christian religion grew out of the control exercised by the powerful individuals of that time. It became an escape from the realities of the economic-political oppression of the ruthless and wealth-owning class. It still is, but it has secured the clarifying methods of modern sociology to guide its application and to determine its fulfilment. To-day as never before that New Dispensation, "Love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, heart and strength, and thy neighbor as thyself," finds its true significance and its greatest opportunity in individual efficiency and social service. So startling is it that the old politicians and the power-wielding groups, have tried in every way to belittle the methods by every means of skepticism. The Brain Trust, looking all three ways, back, around and ahead, by means of their training, have caused the President to secure a mass of correlated legislation such as no other State has enacted, except in a slight way by codes in Rome and under Napoleon. They are not comparable, however, because men were but slightly civilized in numbers, though highly civilized by contrast with the masses in lower civilized states, in barbarism and in savagery.

Ne Man Lets Go of His Past Because the nature of man forces him to breed by animal means, he finds that phase of his life most powerful and for a long time. Because man slowly evolved in spots from the animalism of his origin, through the family, the state and the nation, he also finds those influences lasting and powerful. But the modern technological advance and the great speed of communication and production, have released millions from the fetters that bound them to ancient ways. It was the family that was man's most powerful molding agency and from the most powerful families arose the kings, and that egotism that has come down to this present day in our captains of great wealth. The release of knowledge through books and scientific investigation, however, made democracy possible and opened the way to any person, male or female, who had the ability. Here in America, we have passed more or less rapidly through all the stages or phases of social progress, and still have them among us. Agricultural life held us so long that it has made changes and shifts difficult. The railroads did it to the canals, and the modern machines and the cooperating agency of the schools, have upset the old social order again. This time more drastically, because already millions had come to live together in cities.

What Action Is Demanded We are well into a period of socialization, and the individual personality is worth more and is more demanded in this period than ever before. As the school has taken over more and more of the duties of the older type of home, even to character training, meals, health and recreation, so the State has taken over more of those duties which man must have performed, but is unable to do for himself. The older type of individualism, which was in reality, egotism, must pass, and the new individual with his distinct contribution to the social problem is called for. Clubs and societies will be formed without number, and men, women and children will learn both to exchange ideas and to form new relations because of them. Those more serious sex faults from which society now suffers will be ended by the easier marriage demands from the economic side because both men and women may hold jobs, and children may be had because wanted only. Co-operative housekeeping will become popular and persons will find their domestic training respected and done on a trained and scientific basis similar to modern nursing. The race, group or individual who can not take the steps is bound to be swallowed up in the movement. The call comes loud and clear, "Learn or Perish! Co-operate or Sink Into Oblivion."

Thy fathers' God forsake not and thy manhood debase not, and thou shalt cease to say: "I'm a Negro, therefore I cannot." 2. Be not ashamed of thy physical self lest thy ideal be lowered and thou proclaim thyself thy brother's servant. 3. Thou must have thy own David to psalm thy praise and thy own Ezekiel to vision thy valley of dry bones. 4. In the fields shalt thou grow brawn and brew ease, but in the city shall come to thee the steel of endurance, the vision of conquest. 5. Read not thyself out of toiling with the hands and toil not thyself out of reading; for reading creates dreams, and toiling makes one akin to the ox. Therefore, he who simply dreams is dying, and he who dreams not is already dead. 6. Make thou thy thought interracial and thy life artistic, and thy destiny shall be one long path of glory. 2.

Learn thou the worth of a dollar and how to keep it from damning thee. 8. So long as thy brother must buy thy daily bread just so long will he lower thy genius, culture and manhood to the price thereof. Secure thou thy own bread, if thou wouldest settle thy standing among men. 9. Socially thou shalt go no nearer thy brother than he comes to thee. Aversion in him should slay the thought of advance in thee. 10. If thou hast a mind to live by being honest, industrious, frugal and self-sacrificing, remain in the south where thou shalt surely reap thy character's worth; but if thou has a mind to die through sloth, ignorance and folly, get thee far from it, for the burden of burying such is becoming intolerable. 10.

JOSEPH S. COTTER, Principal, S. Coleridge-Taylor School, Louisville, Ky. William Pickens's Observations The Intra-Racial Color Question Of all the silly contentions I have ever heard of, the present contention in Harlem over the question to whether "dark girls" "black girls" or "light girls" should be preferred for newly-opened jobs in white-owned stores on 125th Street, is exactly the silliest! Of course, nobody should be preferred on his color: certainly not in the Negro race that is fighting against a general racial discrimination. This question ought never to arise within the "Negro" group: it plays into the hands of those white people who are opposed to Negroes. They will be quick to see that it is no more wrong for whites to try to shut Negroes out than it is for one "color" of Negroes to try to shut the other "color" out. And the cunning ones among the white opposition will certainly play one of these factions against the other, for its own advantage. Take it from a black man who has had every kind of contact with every kind of white person who is fit to associate with, That the Rank and File of the white race do not care a fig of their own account about the "color" of an American Negro. There are all sorts of people in the world, and in any race—and so there are some queer white people. Some of these queer and exceptional ones prefer a Negro who is "light," and some other queer ones prefer "dark" Negroes, the darker the better. If there be any difference at all, there is a greater number by far who prefer "dark" in Negroes. Light skins do not make an impression of them because it is too commonplace, like the white-skins they are used to and bond with. The Negroes of Harlem worked together long enough to get some jobs on 125th Street, by picketing the stores, and before the jobs were hardly occupied, these Negroes fell out over the question of colors of the workers, especially the girls, accepted on the jobs. One faction asks for girls of a certain color, but also demands that the employers get the girls through that faction only. That is rotten: such a thing would soon become a "racket" even if it be not already a racket. The sale of jobs and the corruption of "pull" and "drag" are already too prevalent in this social order. The picketing for "colored employees" was sane and sensible. After that point was conceded by the store proprietors, no organization whatever should be allowed the right to select the persons to be employed—and especially not on any "color" basis. There are just two classes of fools in this color contention, and if either class is a bigger fool than the other, as the Irishman said, Have Negroes Been Miseducated? By Drusilla Dunice Houston (For ANP) This is a very important question as raised by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. If we wish to be constructive when we raise such contensions, we can show the Negro plainly HOW he has been miseducated and the remedy. Otherwise we will discourage a burdened people. We welcome graduate after graduate from the great universities and we add yearly to the number of degrees but as yet we have small returns from these favored young people in the solution of bitter problems that confront the race and the collection of scientific and historic truth. It is natural that those fathers and mothers who have spent long years in the wash-tub, in the ditch and in other arduous labors, should expect practical returns from these graduates of our schools. They expect that out of their sacrifices would come a lifting of the burden. Instead, too often graduates return to scoff at everything sacred to those fathers and mothers. The Youngsters We cannot blame young people so much for these conditions. Mise-education is American. Prejudice and cowardice are in white scholarships. These look back into history and see only what they want to see. Again, popular education, where men specialize, ignores the classics, ancient history, philosophy, religion, all vital knowledge, carries the student along some narrow channel, that he may make money. This system has developed a generation woefully ignorant of vital things—vital to the building of civilization. It is because of this wefulign ignorance of our statesmen (?) that Franklin Roosevelt has technical experts combing the records of the past, searching in ancient forms of jurisprudence and economy trying to find the way out for today. As Negroes we too ought to be informing ourselves about Fascism and Hitlerism (minus Hitler). We should not let Aryans form our opinions upon such vital questions. The system under which Italy, new functions and keeps her economic footing and has contented masses, is an old Cushite system, evolved by Ethiopians in the primitive world. The System Elevates It is a system which elevates the good of the nation about that of the individual. It rules both labor and capital and is the system by which Cushites rose to world dominance. By it art rose to the highest perfection and government. Governor of Rhode Island Violates Constitution When the Governor of Rhode Island requested the police to arrest and put into jail "every known communist," he violated the very law which he is pretending to defend. How on earth does he expect the communist to obey law and reason, if the chief executive of the state be lawless and unreasonable? It is not a crime under the Constitution for a citizen to be of any political or religious faith or persuasion, and to arrest and jail one for having his name registered on a party roll is too highheaded. Their governor, in dangerous emergency of labor riots, might justly have wired the officers of the state: to arrest any person on his first breach of law, peace or order, or on his first known public effort to incite others to violate law, peace or order. The order to "arrest every known communist," wether the communist were ever known to violate law or not, is a vicious and tyrannical order, which the American people should not uphold, support or give sympathy to. A greater proportion of communists than of other parties may be violating law in Rhode Island, but that is no justification for depriving all communists of constitutional rights, any more than the equally evident fact that a greater proportion of the workers are now violating law in Rhode Island than the members of the rest of society, could justify an order to "arrest every known worker." It is no more lawful for Democrats to jail communists without cause than it would be for Republicans to jail Democrats without cause. It will be a sad thing in America if those who are supposed to uphold the law, allow themselves to be frightened into violating the law. For then there is no law, and the rabble is very quick to sense the situation and to take advantage of it. In this emergency America needs executives who are brave and wise enough to obey the law themselves, while they seek to compel others to obey it. The moment we say to the law-breaker that there is no law for him, in that moment we do we invite force; we tear up rules, become dictators, and the next logically and absolutely necessary thing will be "Concentration camps." Communists cannot be the only law-breakers in those riots, and the governor's order should have called upon the police to "arrest every known law-breaker." "faith an' it must be both of 'em." One class of fool is that which asks that "light Negroes" be given preferences; and the other class of fool is that which demands that "black Negroes" be given preferences.—Just choose your class. We do not belong to either. functioned for the security and happiness of the masses. Franklin Roosevelt, of old Danish-Cushite blood is trying to fuse into our American system the best features of Fascism, where government shall control both capital and labor. Roosevelt is for the under man and capital, both too thick-headed to understand, mistrusts him. Balance of Power We hold the balance of power in this nation. If we will develop understanding and vote as a unit for right, we are the hope of America for the future. In the next articles we are going to show that through false, faithless, and uninformed leadership, we have developed a Negrophobia, that is strangling our lettered young people who should have been inspired by leadership to stop seeing Negro and to see our duty in relation to the common problems of humanity. This road of life is sweet to me, 'Tis sweet and short as can be; There is no time to waste. Still let's not make haste, But take the task steady And always be ready Some good deed to do That is Godlike and is true, The more we do toward That everlasting reward, Will make life's journey happier And our burdens lighter. The highway of life is very rough; Press on, don't stop, when it is tough. Be not discouraged as you travel, Be determined, things will unravel Until you reach the journey's end, That's where happiness begin. Then on earth your task is done We will receive, a happy home. Decadence of Negro Fraternities By R. A. ADAMS There was a time when Negro fraternities made large contributions to racial advancement. In those days the principle of fraternity was honored and practiced. But to a great extent leadership in these organizations has been attained by men who are immoral and dishonest. And what remain are but skeletons of those gigantic organizations. Considering the fraternal benefits: the social concourse, the material helpfulness and the moral influence of these orders in the past one is compelled to deplore the sad decadence everywhere manifest. Remembering the tenets of these societies, the principles on which they were founded the most solenl obligations assumed as a means of entrance, it is appalling to see how these principles are trampled and the obligations become null and void in the practice of members of these fraternal aggregations. And a conscientious individual wonders just how these people drift so far from "I promise and swear." Defeat of Proposed Amendment To Disfranchise Negro Certain Adoption of Law Would Eliminate Colored Voters as a Political Factor in the State of West Virginia CHARLESTON, W. Va., — The fight against the proposed poll tax amendment requiring all voters to exhibit a poll tax receipt before they can register or vote is being pushed vigorously, and the present indications are that it will be defeated. This amendment is fashioned after that of North Carolina and several other southern states which have culminated in the disfranchisement of several million Negroes in the southern states. mendment. The adoption of the amendment will eliminate Negroes as a political factor in the State of West Virginia as the Legislature can provide that the poll tax would have to be paid personally by each voter, and he will have to exhibit his receipt for the same before he can register or vote. Notorious Enactments Among the enactments looking to the disfranchisement of Negroes were constitutional amendments, containing grandfather clauses, educational tests and poll tax. The notorious grandfather clause provided that any one whose ancestor or ancestors could vote prior to 1863 would be eligible to vote, knowing that prior to that date the ancestors of a very few Negroes were permitted to vote. This grandfather clause permits all white citizens to vote, however illiterate, while the educational requirements along with that of the poll tax has been the means of disfranchising millions of Negroes. Most of the amendments provide that the voters shall be able to read certain provisions of the United States and state constitutions and interpret them. Maryland Defeated Itself Some years ago Maryland resorted to a most novel scheme looking to the disfranchisement of the Negro, and that state had passed what is notoriously known as the Wilson Ballot Law. This law provided among other things that all candidates should be placed on the ballot in an alphabetical order with the designation of Republican and Democrat written opposite the name of the party to which the candidate belonged. The thought was that thousands of unlettered Negroes would be disfranchised because they would be unable to pick out the several candidates but instead of thousands of Negroes being disfranchised in Maryland, thousands of illiterate white voters were disfranchised due to the fact that white voters did not want the public to know that they could not read or write, and therefore, did not attend night schools, but on the contrary, hundreds of night schools were started all over the State of Maryland for Negroes. Negroes Went to School There was a night school held in southern Maryland for Negroes and when the instructor found it rather difficult to teach some of the citizens to read, he resorted to the novel scheme of telling Negroes that wherever they saw a word beginning with a letter that had a curl like a "pig's tail" to place their mark before such names. By so doing, numbers who could not be taught successfully to read and write were enabled to mark their tickets rather intelligently and thereby save their votes. So many white men were disfranchised by the Wilson Law in Maryland that it was soon repealed. The object of the constitutional amendment proposed by one Legislature in West Virginia was to eliminate what was alleged to be a number of floating votes. Amendment Opposed They claimed that numbers of Negroes were brought into the state from Virginia and elsewhere to vote the Republican ticket who were not citizens of the state, and therefore, not entitled to vote, but the real object was to eliminate the Negro vote in the state, which is the balance of power, and they were under the impression that this could be done by poll tax, as there will be thousands of thoughtless Negroes who would never pay their poll tax. The candidates on both the Republican and Democratic tickets have been sent questionnaires as to their standing on the amendment, and they are falling over themselves to declare their opposition to the a- "Furthermore, I promise and swear," and "binding myself under no less penalty" etc. A study of the decay of these once wonderfully beneficial organizations the incontrovertible evidence is that their destruction came from within. And since the purging must come from within, it is hardly to be expected that the corruptors will willingly give up their spoils, and their dominance; so there is but little hope for the redemption and the resuscitation of the decadent Negro fraternities A GARDEN There is a garden entrusted to your care.

How to Improve Your Home By Paul Williams (Noted Los Angeles Architect) HOUSING ACT OPENS NEW POSSIBILITIES Recent signing of the new Housing Act by President Roosevelt has opened many new avenues for both the home owner and the business men in America. In going into thh possibilities of this new law, one must not get it confused with the many other federal projects which have to do with the refinancing of houses and small farms. In most of these former acts the project were financed directly by the Government through the PWA or some other administration. In the most recent housing act an entirely different set up has been provided for in which the owner of a small home or business may borrow from $100 to $2,000 for the remodeling or modernizing of that property. This money is not borrowed from the Government but from private banks or companies which have been approved by the Government. However it is the plan of the Federal Housing Corporation to insure this company against any losses up to 20 per cent. This money may be borrowed for any number of months, from 1 to 3 years, and it does not matter whether there is a mortgage on the property or not, as you are merely asked to sign a note agreeing to pay back at installments of so much each month. The only security required is that the borrower have an adequate income and a good credit record in his community. If you have decided that you want a loan of this nature, your first step should be to see an architect or a contractor and determine the exact cost of the work to be done then go to your bank or to some other financial institution which has been approved by the government and apply for a loan of this amount. The bank in turn will investigate the property as well as your ability to repay this loan which in reality is a character loan upon which it is not necessary to have any other co-signers. Loans of this nature, however, that should be made only on buildings that are structually round, for sometimes it might be false economy to improve a building that is too poorly constructed. In such event it might be wise to demolish the building and rebuild from the ground up. This new act also has a provision for the borrower to build anew home, but the machinery for this part of the administration has not been completed. There are many ways by which we can take advantage of this new method of financing. For instance, groups of property owners in block could get together on a general plan to modernize the exterior of all the houses in that block. This would immediately enhance the property values and go a long way toward stabilizing the property by bringing back tenants who have moved out to the newer districts. In projects of this nature the Federal Housing Administration would be glad to co-operate with any local organization which might be formed. This would be a splendid opportunity for our civic minded citizens to organize a Better Housing Committee which would give out information as to how our communities could be modernized, along with information as to how and where this money can be secured in your city. Then also, if our communities are to benefit from this opportunity, there should be a concentrated effort in the entire neighborhood to clean up and in many cases to take away that old saying, that you can always tell when you enter a Negro neighborhood. A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins. A great many of us traveling in the various walks of life; some professional, others in different vocations, still so many are parked on the wayside, who simply gave up in disgust. It is true that on a road to win one meets many moments of discouragement, but we should not be quitters. Keep pulling ever onward and we will overcome some day. It can be done. To some comes one disappointment after another and this is when we must hold steadfast to the plan which we have set our hands to, and don't look back.

Before an audience estimated at more than 2,000 persons, Dr Charles Wesley, of Howard University, urged all Washingtonians to join the movement sponsored by the New Negro Alliance. Dr. Wesley was the principal speaker at the first anniversary mass meeting of the NNA held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church last Sunday night. He spoke on "The Significance of the New Negro Alliance to the Community of Washington." William H. Hastie, assistant solicitor in the Interior Department and assistant administrator of the Alliance, was the master of ceremonies. He was introduced by George H. Ryeraw chairman of the public relations committee of the NNA. H. Naylor Fitzhugh, administrator of the Alliance, spoke on the "History, Legal Fights and Future Aims of the Alliance" and one of the founders of the movement followed Mr. Fitzhugh on the program. Dixie Harmonies Heard The Dixie Harmonies composed of J. Stanley Brooks, Edward T. Taylor Frederick L. Slade, Lewis C. Minor with Douglass K. Fickling, accompanist, were heard in elections. Mrs. Lillie M.

The Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor of the Metropolitan Church, gave the benediction. Dr. Lankford Discusses Housing at Civic Forum Dr. Lankford, of the Housing Division of the Interior Department, spoke on, "Low Cost Housing," in the Civic National Forum, which met at Godwill Baptist Church, Sunday; The speaker said that the U. S. Government has quite recently launched a vast slum clearance program, that unsanitary conditions are the essential car-marks of slum districts, and that $4,300,000 will be spent by the Government in the District of Columbia. Better health, improved moral and social conditions, should be the result of this work, he declared. The next public meeting of the Civic National Forum will be at the People's Congregational Church, 624 M Street, Northwest, Sunday, at 6:30 p.m. Mrs. G. B. Reid, W. H. C. Brown, H. E.

MEtro. 2132 By Special Correspondent Rumors and contradiction about the retirement of the Black Cabinet are still running the gamut of Washington's governmental circles. Latest developments indicate, however, that there is quite some truth in published reports purported to have come from authoritative sources. One strong indication is that the office of economic adviser to the Secretary of Commerce is already disintegrating. The adviser's private secretary has been seen looking about for a job. As to the assertion that politicians and Democratic keymen have their finger in the pie there is plenty of truth. One or two of the members of the Black Cabinet are said to be willing to capitulate and stop trying to get jobs for their friends back home and are now trying to please the politicians. Merely Marked Time However, although there are one or two "real" politicians in the Black Cabinet, they have so far done nothing to build the political fences. So far they have been content in "pleasing" some one without watching to see just what political significance their appointments and recommendations for appointments do really have. Latest development of a major nature is the question of sending colored men to take up the reins of the Virgin Island government. It has been understood for sometime that sooner or later a Negro would be sent down there, but until this week the story has not taken hold although for sometime it had been rumored that Dr. William J. Thompson's recorder of deed, would Thompson's recorder of deed, would be the man for the job Victor Daniels The latest rumor in regard to the Virgin Island governorship, which the insiders agree will soon go to a Negro, is that Victor Daniels is the strongest contender for it and that he has a good chance of getting it. It all depends now on certain preliminary negotiations and the cutting of red-tape. Politicians and Democratic candidates throughout the country are all up in an unproar waiting to see just what happens in the matter of getting jobs for the deserving brethren. More than one of them has been coming to Washington since Congress adjourned to put in his bid for those who really helped during the campaign and whose support is needed right now. 'Just what effect their representations had with the big shots, no one seems to know, but the furores created during the last few weeks, and the many rumors that have filled the air about the Black Cabinet retirement looks like they did not return home unfeard.' As to the Virgin Island question THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 27, 1934 it is no secret that native elements down there want a colored man to take up where Governor Pearson is soon to leave off. Pearson is a holdover from the Republican administration and it is certain that he will be replaced in the near future. Since the facts are known, colored aspirants for such a distinguished "plum" are leaving nothing to chance and are working day and night trying to make their point. However, as has been said Mr. Daniels is believed to have the inside race by a nose and that is how the thing stands at the present moment. Politically speaking. Thompkins is to be the "king-pin" in the intra-party conclaves. For some time the recorder had been left holding the "political bag," but now things are brightening up. Until now there has been some uncertainty as to which of the vanishing "Big 4" should be the political counselor, and observers are pointing out to certain movements as indicative of the fact that Dr. Thompkins is still holding his own in the high places of the Democratic party. No one knows just what has happened to the "Big Four," and it looks like nobody cares but at this time, when so many contests are about to take place throughout the country, they are asking themselves many questions, chiefly, "Where is the Big Four of vore?" Moguls Not Worried But the moguls of the party are unworried. The New Deal is holding its own with colored voters throughout the country and there is little or anything anybody can do to stem their allegiance to President Roosevelt. Even the most pessimistic politician admits that there is really nothing that can be done. The vote is in the Democrati, bag, and only dynamite can dislodge it. So that may be one of the reasons no more is heard of the 1932 leadership. Everything seems to be just right for the big pickings in November. But even with such promising outlook there are many party-men who believe something should be done about those who are doing nothing but "integregating." They want to know just how far this mystic word has gone the way of helping the colored people of the country. For, as some say, they have been helped by the New Deal and in spite of the office-holding "integrators." A. F. OF L. WORKING TO END DISCRIMINATION, SAYS HEAD NEW YORK.—President William Green of the American Federation of Labor has written to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People promising elimination of discrimination against Negro applicants for union membership. Chestnut Farms-Chevy Chase Dairy IS NOW Serving--as always--Washington's NEEDY FAMILIES MILK AT 11 CENTS A QUART DELIVERED DIRECT TO THEIR DOOR An Actual Loss to This Dairy of About One and Two-Thirds Cents Per Bottle WE ARE NOT SEEKING PRAISE—GLORY—NOR THANKS—but in view of all the statements which have appeared in the papers within the last few days we feel that the public is entitled to know the real facts in the case—Facts which are or at least should be well known to the public officials of Washington, and which were available to all newspapers. The special reduction announced is not something new to Washington as it has been in effect in this dairy for many years. The fact that it has now been granted by another dairy certainly does not call for an outburst of enthusiasm. We are reproducing herewith an extract from an article which appeared in the morning Herald of October 18th, and in reply we wish to state most emphatically that the families who are being served by THIS DAIRY are not gettin "CHEAP MILK" but our very— The fact that they pay only 11 cents per quart (or less than actual cost) does not in any way affect its quality—they receive exactly the same service and same milk as any of our other customers. As has been stated so many times before this dairy has been under the same management for more than a third of a century and it has been our policy throughout the entire period to extend a helping hand to the needy in every instance. The institutions of our city (whose duty it is to care for such cases) will gladly bear witness to the truth of this statement. These facts are well known to officials of the Health Department of the District of Columbia and also to those people who have resided here for many years and we are making this statement merely as information to those of our customers and others who have but recently come to our city, and who might get entirely the wrong impression from the statements which have appeared in print in this instance. Chestnut Farms-Chevy Chase Dairy is always ready to do (even more than) its full share towards rendering assistance in the hour of need. CONFERENCE MAY NOT DISCUSS LYNCHING EVIL It does not seem likely that lynching will be discussed at Attorney General Cummings's crime conference here in December. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People wrote to Attorney General Cummings or October 9 asking if the lynching evil would be on the agenda of the conference. Joseph B. Keenan, assistant attorney general, has replied: "The program for the conference is not as yet complete. Obviously, it will be impossible to cover all phases of the crime problem in the short space of three days. No definite decision has been made with reference to the subject of lynching." According to officials of the Association, the Department of Justice has evinced no interest whatever in the wave of lynchings but has been active in running down kidnappers. Attorney General Cummings himself, they point out, is on record as opposed to a federal anti-lynching bill and has remained indifferent to the exclusion of qualified Negro voters from the Democratic primaries in the South although supplied with much documentary evidence in that connection. Between 500 and 600 Such Families Are Receiving Daily Service at the Present Time Highest Quality Product Highest Quality Product Jury Frees George Brewer on Housebreaking Charge A jury returned with a verdict of not guilty following the trial of George M.

The trial was before Justice Oscar R. Luhring, in the Criminal Division of the District Supreme Court Thursday. Attorney Lewis C. Dixon represented Brewer. The alleged crime goes back to last June 10 at Mrs. Morgan's apartment located at 1125 Twelfth Street, Northwest, where Brewer allegedly entered by breaking in the door. He was arrested June 19.

Randolph Rejects Conductors' Offer to Take Over Porters Randolph Rejects Conductors' Offer to Take Over Porters President of Brotherhood Refuses Request for Pullman Conductors to Have Jurisdiction Over Maids and Porters At Last! Cheap Milk For District's Needy! 11 Cents a Quart; Dairy Clips Red Tape Torrents of low price milk today will flow over a broken dam of red tape to strengthen the undernourished bodies of families on District relief rolls. Just when it appeared as though Commissioner George E. Allen would have to abandon his plan for increasing the allotment of milk to relief families, the red tape deadlock was broken. The break came dramatically when the Embassy Dairy, a local concern, offered to sell all the milk the thousands of needy on relief rolls could drink at 11 cents a quart. Some twenty years ago when the first "CHILD WELFARE STATIONS" were opened in various sections of our city this dairy (alone) not only supplied all necessary milk (without charge) but paid the salaries of trained nurses assigned to each station to cooperate with the physicians in preparing proper diet for infant feeding. Respectfully submitted, HENRY N. BRAWNER, Jr., President LOS ANGELES — According to information received at the headquarters of the Los Angeles Division, A. Philip Randolph, national president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, rejected the request for and opposed the claim of jurisdiction by the Order of Sleeping Car Conductors over Pullman porters and maids, at the recent convention of the American Federation of Labor in San Francisco. In a conference planned by William Green, president of the A. F. of L., in which sat Warfield, president of the Order of Sleeping Car Conductors; the National Secretary of the Order of Sleeping Car Conductors; M. P. Webster, chairman of the General Executive Board; C. L. Dellman, 4th vicepresident; and A. Philip Randolph of the Brotherhood of the A. F. of L., a plan was presented by Mr Warfield to take over the Pullman porters now organized in the Brotherhood. His desire to secure jurisdiction over the porters, as he stated, is for the purpose of protecting the jobs of the Pullman conductors against Pullman porters who are required by the company to run-in-charge. After Mr. Warfield had present Reprint from Washington Herald, October 18th ed his plan to the conference, with comments, pointing out that the Pullman porters would be required to pay his organization a tax when they are taken in, and Mr. Morrison had requested Mr. Randolph to express his position on the plan and claim of sleeping car conductors, Mr. Randolph rejected the plan. HAS WIFE ARRESTED A suspended sentence was granted Mrs. Janie Hagan, 816 First Street, Northwest, Thursday, in the police court when her husband, William Hagan, testified that his wife had destroyed private property but he did not want her sent to jail, Judge John P. McMahon also took her personal bond and instructed the defendant to stop drinking and stay out of trouble. PROTEST FORCES REMOVAL "DARKIE" THEATRE SIGN NEW YORK.—Protest from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against a sign reading "Hear the Darkie Chorus of 200 Voices" caused its prompt removal by Manager Robert M. Weitman of the Paramount Theatre in Times Square here. A conviction on a charge of robbery was returned by a jury following a trial of Walter Parker, Raymond Parker, and Joseph Brown, all of 47 DeFrees Street, Northwest, before Judge James N. Proctor in the Criminal Division of the District Supreme Court, Monday. The history of the case dates back to September 8, when Clifton B. Harrison was held up at Fourteenth and S Streets, Northwest. The victim was robbed of $2.10, keys, and a pocketbook. Harrison testified that Brown held a knife on him and the Parker boys went through his pockets. Later on that night these three boys allegedly threw Walter Jones, white, down in the alley in the rear of DeFrees Street and took all of his clothes and left him in the alley. Jessie Wilson of 41 DeFrees Street testified that he knew the three boys and saw them coming out of the alley and found Jones without clothes. The government rested the case after it was established that the three boys were out that night together and that Jones, Wilson and Harrison identified the boys as the robbers. 2-MILLION DOLLAR "SOUTHWEST CITY" ASKED BY CIVIC GROUP SECOND SECTION BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL EDUCATION BOARD RECONSIDERS CASE OF MISS CARDOZO Superintendent Ballou Had Recommended Termina- tion of Her Services The probationary period of Miss Francis Cardozo, attendance officer, Department of School Attendence and Work Permits, was extended until January 31 on recommendation of the committee of Personnel and approved by the Board of Education at a special meeting Saturday morning. The committee submitted the follow- ing report to the board: "The Personnel Committee has considered the testimony received at the conference with Miss Cardozo yesterday afternoon. The Committee is divided in its opinion regarding the preponderance of the testimony for and against Miss Cardozo. In view of all the circumstances and the desire to do no injustice to any employee, which desire we believe the superintendent shares, the committee suggests to the superintendent for his considerations the following: "1. That he reconsider his recommendation for the termination of the services of Miss Cardozo at the end of her probationary year on October 23. "2. That he consider recommending to the Personnel Committee her permanent appointment under the following conditions: "(1) That she be considered under the terms of this permanent appointment on probation until January 31, 1935, and shall be considered as a person on probation at that time; provided that Miss Cardozo shall accept in writing the conditions of the appointment." 10,636 TEACHERS IN RURAL SCHOOLS PAID BY FERA Sum of $785,051 Expended to Keep 1,206,896 Pupils in School Sum of $785,051 Expended to Keep 1,206,896 Pupils in School Federal Emergency Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins, has announced the results of the campaign that kept rural schools in the south open from February 1934 to the close of the year. A total of 1,206,836 colored school children continued in school for four additional months to the regular term this year out of a school population of 2,081,115 in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration expended $775,051,40 for these rural schools to pay the salaries of 10,636 colored teachers through the State educational directors in conjunction with the local school authorities of the twelve Southern states above mentioned. The total expended for all schools was $8,290,857.97 and 56,957 teachers. The expenditure for colored schools is approximately one tenth of the whole. Due to the smaller wage allowed per person (based on a difference in length of term) the proportionate number of colored teachers made available is somewhat less. A total of 3,764,147 white children were in attendance out of a school population of 5,634,493. The total rural population of children between the age of five and twenty was 7,715,608; seventy-three per cent white and twenty-seven per cent colored; 4,970,043 attended school, 75.7 white and 24.3 colored.

Johnson, chairman of the public service committee, the Southwest Civic Association at its first meeting of the civic year held at the Southwest Community House, Monday night, voted to petition the Public Works Administration under the Secretary of the Interior to launch a $2,000,000 low-cost housing project for colored in Southwest Washington. The resolution pointed out that $4,300,000 had been tentatively budgeted for low-cost housing projects in the National Capital, one for white and one for colored, and that proposed plans to locate the cloed project in the neighborhood of Howard University as the "Howard City," had been abandoned by the Secretary of the Interior because of the excessive price placed upon property in that era. Has Land at Low Cost The Southwest section, the resolution maintained, has a great deal of undeveloped land which could be secured at low cost, and the section is comprised of many areas on which the antiquated structures were erected in the early part of the nineteenth century, which would favor this land being purchased at extremely low cost. The institution of this project in the Southwest section, the resolution stated, would tend to rehabilitate one of the oldest, most historic and most conveniently located sections of the National Capital. Would Clean up Alleys In another resolution, also introduced by Dr. Johnson, the civic body voted to petition the Alley Authority to use a large part of the $500,000 made available by the Capper-Norton Act for the cleaning up and clearance of alleys in the District of Columbia, in clearing alleys in Southwest Washington. The resolution pointed out that the section harbors a large percentage of the most notorious and most unsightly alleys in the District, many of which are almost within a stone's throw of the United States Capitol.
