Jealousy Said to Have Driven Husband of Peggy Williston Guy to Act
HELD AT GALLINGER UNDER OBSERVATION
Pulls Self Through Hole in Door Pane Smashed by Fist in Rage
Bleeding profusely from cuts about his arms, legs and body, Trevanion Guy, 27 years old, 1308 S Street, Northwest, last Sunday afternoon, forced his way into the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. E. D, Williston, 1512 S Street, Northwest, and literally wrecked the place. Although no estimate as to the amount of damage done by young Guy is available to the Tribune it is known that costly furniture, fixtures and interior decorations were smashed and left strewn about the place beyond repair.
Guy, arrested by police of the Third Precinct is being held at Gallinger Hospital under mental observation. Whether or not Mrs. Williston will prosecute her son-in-law was still a matter of speculation like yesterday (Wednesday).
A basement door, out of which a large piece of the remaining pane fell with a resounding bang as it was closed behind the Tribune reporter, was the only outward evidence of a disturbance at the Williston home. It was reliably reported however, that the inside of the house was in a state of general confusion.
Refuse to Comment
Neither Mrs. Williston nor Mrs. Peggy Williston Guy, wife of the offender, would make any statement when sought for one. The latter, encountered at the Third Precinct Station after futile attempts had been made to reach her at her home, remained non-comitial despite numerous questions fired at her by the reporter. However, the following story was pieced together from the best information obtainable: Sometimes ago Guy was accused of having beaten his wife following an argument at their country (Continued on page 3)
Program Was Broadcast Over Nation-wide Chain of Columbia System
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Before a vast audience which packed the Academy of Music here, "Negro Folk Symphony, No. 1, swelled to its magnificent climax last Wednesday evening to be greeted by a roar of applause seldom heard in Philadelphia's renowned temple of music. The enthusiastic audience had already crashed a rarely broken precedent when, at the close of both the first and second movements of the symphony by William L. Dawson, director, school of music, Tuskegee Institute and conductor of the famous Tuskegee choir—it twice stopped the concert to applaud while Leovold Stokowski graciously bowed his acknowledgments.
In a statement made public this week, Leopold Stokowski, recognized as one of the first three musicians in the world said: "I am happy to introduce this composition to the American audience because

General Association to Hold Dance Off Campus for First Time
A split in the alumni groups of Howard University was seen here this week with the announcement that the General Alumni Association will hold its annual reception and dance at the Masonic Temple, Thanksgiving night while the Washington Alumni group will hold its dance in the gymnasium on the university campus. Mishael (Casey) Jones, executive secretary of the general body, stated this week that he asked permission to hold the dance on the campus, but was advised that the local organization had already received permission to use the gymnasium. This is the first time in history that the local has entertained separately from the general association here. J. Bryon Hopkins is president of the local group and Mrs. Estelle Jackson is vice president.
Secretary Jones has made elaborate plans to enterain the visiting alumni and friends off the campus and later at a reception in the Cotton Club. The two separate affairs by the Alumni of the university on the same night is seen as a possible break in the association.

Wilson, Scoffs at Suit Threatened; New Lodge May Be Host
By GARLAND MACKEY
Despite the fact that the Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson issued a proclamation last week stating that the grand lodge session would be changed, the astute leader of Elkdom did not say where it would be changed to or where it would be held.
Those on the inside and close to the grand exalted ruler will tell you that the grand lodge session will be held in Washington according to prepared plans, but the two local lodges, Columbia and Morning Star, will not be hosts—that is unless the two bodies agree to accept Dr. Herbert Fisher as chairman of the general committee.
New Lodge Formed
The move last week to set up a new lodge here—the Greater Washington Lodge of Elks—was seen as an indication as a step to thwart the Morning Star and Columbia Lodges. Wilson has the power to form a new lodge, but the meeting last week at the Musolit Club only had 22 present as Wilson was in Canada and he thought it best not to proceed so fast at the present. The law of the Elks provides that a new lodge may be formed in any city for each 50,000 population or fraction. Washington easily has over 100,000 colored population and the "Grand" will be within his right to form a new lodge if he wants to and the new group may be hosts to the grand lodge.
Called Highbrows
Already the new organization has been called highbrows since it met at the Musoit Club and is composed of many professional men.
The joint committee of Morning Star and Columbia met this week and again the two groups agreed to stick by their guns with Herbert Jones as general chairman. Wilson will hold on to Dr. Fisher for the position.
An attempt was made this week to get the interested parties to (Continued from page 3)
MOTHER OF SLAIN BOY SUES HUBBY
Complaining that her husband, Douglas A. Green, 2024 Clagett Street, Northeast, has contributed little or nothing toward the support of herself and their deceased 16-year-old son while the latter was alive, Mrs. Lelia J. Green, 1845 Ninth Street, Northwest, filed suit for limited divorce and maintenance early this week.
The petition was filed by Attorney B V. Lawson of the firm, Lewis Beaubian and Lawson, in the District Supreme Court Saturday morning.
Son Figure of Aed Killing
The Greens, according to the bill, were married in 1918. One son, William, was born of the union. The lad was killed during a scuffle in the grocery store of George Aed, white, 901 S. Street, Northwest, little over a month ago. Aed was exonerated by a coroner's jury which nevertheless cited him (Continued on page 3)
A meeting of the National Federation of Federal Employees Tuesday evening at Banneker Center to lay plans to have Mrs. Myra Colson Callis, dismissed supervisor, ended in a stalemate when the president of the local announced after the meeting that nothing had been accomplished and another meeting would be held Thursday night.
Newspaper reporters were asked to leave the meeenig when it was pointed oht that a Tribune representative was present.
After about an hour and a half Frederick Phillips presiding officer, announced that nothing had been done as a quorum was not present.
Hint Racial Prejudice
Mrs. Callis received a notice of dismissal last week. "Personality difficulties" was given as the reason for the action by Mrs. Florence M. Huff, supervisor of casewomen, and Miss Alice Hll, director of the Emergency Relief. The federation claims that Mrs. Callis was dismissed without just cause and is seeking to have her reinstated. She was rated one of the best qualified workers in the bureau and members of the union hint that color prejudice was the main reason for the supervisor's discharge.
Union Members "On Spot"
However, The Tribune learned from highly reliable sources that Elwood Street, director of the Emergency Relief here, had received complaints from other workers about Mrs. Callis and at that time it was pointed out that her job ought to be given to a person who really needed relief, since Mrs. Callis' husband had a good job at Howard University. It was also stated that there are other employees, colored and white (Continued on page 7)
5 MONTHS A BRIDE; GETS 2 YEARS Florence Craig, Confesed Slayer of Husband, Gets Minimum Sentence
A sentence of from two to five years in jail was imposed on Florence Virginia Craig, confessed slayer of her husband of five months, in the District Supreme Court, Monday. Justice Oscar R. Luhring, presiding in Criminal Division Number Ont, issued the decision following recommendations from the Probation Office.
Mrs. Craig was arraigned on October 30 for the fatal shooting of Robert Craig, whom she described as "cruel and unjust." Through her attorney, Mrs. Goldie Paregol (white), the girl pleaded guilty to manslaughter and thereby evaded going to trial on a first-degree murder indictment.
Husband Was Mean
Evidence presented to the probationary board shortly after the vision Number One, issued the defect that she, 21 years of age and a bride of 5 months, shot and killed her husband after alleged repeated beatings. The slaying, it was reported, followed a heated argument over her failure to wash windows in the home at 2813 Emerson Place, Southeast.
(Continued on page 3)
Three persons were ordered held by a coroner's jury in connection with the fatal stabbing. Saturday, of Robert Willem, 34 45th G Place, Northwest, during an altercation at his home. The verdict was arrived at following an inquest held at the District Morgue. Monday. John Hall. 25 years old, living at 446 N Street, Northwest, was charged with being the slayer. Annie Parker. 519 Q Street, Northwest, and Charles Winslow were detained as accessories. The stabbing, according to allegations, was the result of a drunken brawl which took place at a party being held at the G Place residence. Police were unable to determine the actual cause of the disturbance but they felt satisfied that it was motivated by too much to drink.
Robert Johnson, 455 G Place
Northwest, appeared at the inquest
as a government witness. He testified he saw Allen run from the house tearing at his breast about 6:20 Saturday evening. Running west on G Place for about 30 or 40 reams, this man tumbled and fell to the street. Police of the First Precinct found Allen there, placed him in a machine and carried him to Casualty Hospital. The victim died on route.
Saw Victim's Brother
Johnson also stated he saw James Allen, a brother of the slain man, leave the house and run east on G Place, disappearing across (Continued on Page. 3)

Miner College Teacher
Retires After 33 Years
Mrs. R.G.Moore, a teacher for 33 years in the public school system, will retire November 30 because of physical disability.
Mrs. Moore who is a teacher of Mathematics at Miner Teachers' College, entered the service September 1, 1901. She served in the elementary schools until October 8, 1928 when she was promoted to Miner Normal School in recognition of her superior work.
In a memorandum prepared for the Board of Education by Garnet C. Wilkinson first assistant superintendent of schools, he stated: "Mrs. Moore, through the years has been one of the most conscientious devoted and efficient teachers in the schools."
Former Josephine Caldwell Seeks Dissolution of 10 year-old Marriage
Discovery of an alleged illicit relationship between her husband and a woman named Jane (Van Brakle) Burries, at 1006 Third Street, Northwest, is the basis of a suit for absolute divorce filed by Mrs. Josephine Caldwell Van Brakle, 715 S Street, Northwest, early this week. Selay Van Brakle is named defendant and his address is given as the Third Street house. Through her attorneys, French, Thompkins and Owens, Mrs. Van Brakle requests dissolution of her 10-year-old marriage. She was formerly a classic dancer and popular in local social circles.
Divorce Obtained
This latest legal step is the second of its kind which Mrs. Van Brakle has taken since she wedded on April 16, 1924. On July 23, 1931 she was granted an interlocutor decree by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat. On that occasion counsel for the plaintiff based its contention on evidence that Van Brakle had been guilty of living with a woman in an apartment at 2905 Eleventh Street, Northwest. According to the testimony, Mrs. Van Brakle entered the Eleventh Street house in the early hours of August 20, 1928, and there found her husband clad in night-clothes with a woman, also dressed for bed. Former Policeman William R. Laflin, Florice Smith, Harriette Jenkins and Richard Jenkins appeared as witnesses on that occasion and it was largely on their corroborative testimony that the decree was granted.
Didn't Want It
Mrs. Van Brakle, however, did not return for the final decree issuance at the specified time, and subsequently counsel for Van Brakle filed a motion for dismissal of the case. This motion was granted on June 10, 1932.
In her petition, Mrs. Van Brakle further states that her husband has been extremely cruel to her during their married life. She tells of an instance on September 18, 1927, when Van Brakle shot six times at her, failing to hit her by her own miraculous good fortune. She also declares that she has seen her husband on numerous occasions with other women. Each time she speaks to him about it, Mrs. Van Brakle asserts, her husband becomes enraged and tells her to attend to her own business. She averts he has even admitted acts of adultery with other women.
In her prayers, Mrs. Van Brakle asks the court to grant her absolute divorce, permanent alimony sufficient to care for herself and their minor daughter, and custody of the child.
Bishop Grace Indicted on Income Tax Charge
BALTIMORE — (CNS)—Marcelina Manuel Gracia, who calls himself the Bishop of the United House of Prayer for All People, and who is known as Charles M. Grace, was indicted last week by a Federal grand jury on a charge of defrauding the Government of more than $15,000 in income taxes. Bishop Grace, according to the Government, paid income taxes totaling $41.23 during the years from 1827 to 1888, while he owed $15,441.49 on income totaling $195.075.38 for the period.

COUNCIL PICKETS BANNEKER CENTER
COUNCIL PICKETS BANNEKER CENTER
Members of the Unemployed Council placed pickets in front of the Banneker Relief Center, Eighth and Euclid Streets, Northwest, Tuesday morning when the relief agency refused to meet the demands of the council. Pickets, two women and one man, carried sand-wicked signs reading "We Demand Relief, Not Promises," "We Demand Wood and Coal," and "The Council represents thousands of Workers, You Must Heed the Demand of the Unemployed." Those picketing the station were William Strong, Elizabeth Warfield and Susie Stamps.
Members of the council stated that $5.50 for single persons and $5.20 weekly for a family of two were inadquate. Officers of the station called police, but CCC officers failed to make charges or interfere with the pickets. The council stated that the pickets would remain on the job until their demands are met.

Garnet C. Wilkinson Is Accused of Autocratic Rule by Defense
JURY DELIBERATES 2 HOURS AND 11 MINUTES
Armstrong Matron Is Now Working Following Court's Ruling
Judgement in the sum of $1,985 against the District of Columbia was awarded Mrs. Mary F. Selden, matron at Armstrong High School, by a Juzy in District Supreme Court, Circuit Division, No. 2 Tuesday morning, following a three-day trial.
The jury reached its verdict after a deliberation of one hour and eleven minutes. Although the amount of judgement failed to represent the full sum asked for in the plaintiff's declaration for back salary, attorneys for Mrs. Selden were apparently satisfied with the decision.
Dismissal Ruled Improper
Mrs. Selden, 400 block of T Street, Northwest, was dismissed from her duties at Armstrong on January 16, 1930 after she had filed application for a leave of absence for one year because of ill health. She later made application for reinstatement but this was denied her until the District Supreme Court and the District Court of Appeals ruled that she was unlawfully dismissed and ordered the Board of Education to reappoint her as of the date of dismissal. She was restored to her former status May 30, 1932.
Following this decision, Mrs. Seldon, through her attorney, A. J. Hifland, white, sued the District for back salary accrued in the two-and a third year period during which she was away from her duties at Armstrong. She claimed that she was ready, willing and able to perform the matron's work but was denied the appointment by

James McCarthy who was elected captain of the 1934-35 Howard University court team is a native of Cleveland and a Kappa man.... "Mac" is a guard....Miss Etta Johnson, Community Center head Cormet-Patterson will sponsor a junior basketball league this season....the St. Cyprian Football Club's treasury is depleted because of the shortcomings of one of its officers....The Willowtree eleven has amassed a total of 134 points against seven opponents this season....their record is unblemished by any defeats, ties or scores....All the confusion about the Tree-Yellowjacket game will probably end with the two teams meeting in a postseason contest....one fan wrote in to state that the Yellowjackets can't be considered champions as they have lost to a team the Trees defeated and tied with several mediocre elevens
...and, he is right, for the Trees have maintained an undefeated record for the past two years.... the deadlock with the Jackets last year is the only scar on an otherwise clean slate.
---
Joe (Showboat) Ware, flashy football and court star at Howard University for the past two years has joined the iron City Els' quint of Pittsburgh, his home town... among other stars on the team's roster are Vie Harris, baseball player, and Eyerett Utterback, former University of Pittsburgh track star... Joe Lillard, famous Chicago Cardinal professional luminary, is now playing with the Westwood Cubs, of Los Angeles, California... Joe Lewis, Detroit heavyweight, won his tenth straight victory since turning professional, Friday, when he kayoed Stanley Poreda, white, of Jersey City... Lewis came out of amateur ranks a year ago... Howard University will have an indoor track team.
...
An old fashioned pep-fest is going to be staged before the Howard-Lincoln game at Lincoln Theatre....cheer leaders and members of both teams will be guests on the occasion....As if his mates weren't having enough trouble attempting to penetrate the Armstrong defense, Kelly, substitute end, tackled his own player in the fourth quarter of the game Monday....Ray Contee, former Howard backfield ace, informs me that the Bisons defeated Hampton in 1919 and 1920 and that the published record of the games last week was incorrect....and, 20 years ago this week, Jack Johnson then heavyweight champion, signed to meet Jes Willard for $30,000.

In his last bout, Jones was defeated by Oscar Rankin, redheaded Negro youth who came back in his next bout to win the Pacific Coast middleweight crown from Swede Berglund at the Olympic in Los Angeles. Two other state title are held by race boxers. Young Peter Jackson is king of the lightweights and John Henry Lewis tops the light-heavy weights.

District Scholastic and Collegiate Circles Await Turkey Week
Attention of Local Lovers of Grid Sport Centered on Scenes of Traditional Poet-General and Bison-Lion Annual Classics
Washingtonians will be offered plenty of gridiron activity during the coming week, what with the annual clash between Dunbar and Armstrong High School teams slated for Monday at Griffith Stadium, and the traditional Turkey Day Classic between Howard and Lincoln set for Thanksgiving afternoon at the Howard Stadium. Officials of the three local schools involved in the two-ply promotion feel that the turnstile clicks will easily exceed the 15,000 mark.
There was a time when a figure like 15,000 would be an insulting gesture if used in the same breath with the Turkey Day classics, but times are changed. Economic hardships that have played havoc with the colored race in general have had no mercy on the cash customers at sports events. Last year's event drew only 6,000 to the beautiful auditorium in which it was played, but the fact that it was unwisely carried to Atlantic City had much to do with it.
Dunbar-Tech Clash Monday
Estimates point to a "draw" of better than 5,000 to the Monday tilt between teams representing the two local scholastic rivals. Both Armstrong and Dunbar have exceptionally strong outfits this year and their overwhelming victories over Cardozo, the third team of the triumvirate, stamp them as being pretty much on a par.
The Poets appeared decidedly confident after their victory over the Purple and White on last Thursday afternoon. Their 25-0 margin was pointed to with no small degree of satisfaction. But when the Generals came back Monday to pile up a one-sided count of 44-0, the Crimson and Black faces became far more serious.
Both Coach Charlie Pinder-hughes, of Dunbar, and Dick Temple, Armstrong mentor, were most reticent when approached by a Tribune reporter following Armstrong's Monday victory. Neither of them would permit your writer to quote him as to the chances of their respective teams, but both said in effect, "We'll be out there playing and when we're out there playing, watch our dust."
Howard and Lincoln Ready
Coach Charlie West at Howard, somewhat peeved at the showing his boys made against the lowly North Carolina College eleven, has been driving his charges throughout the week with little or not let-up. The former Washington and Jefferson star called Assistant Coaches Tyson and Jefferson into a conference early Monday and the outgrowth was one of the most strenuous weeks the Bisons have put in since early season. The Blue and White staff refuses to blame anyone in particular for Saturday's unexpected defeat. All refer to it as "Just one of those things." Nevertheless, no individual has escaped the drudgery characteristics of a determined camp of mud gridders.
Meanwhile reports from Lincoln indicate that the Lions are being carried through paces similar to those in effect on the Hilltop. Depception and open plays, taught by Head Coach Rivero and in use at Columbia University, have taken the place of the straight formations employed by the Lincolnites in all their pre-Turkey Day games.

TECH TROUNCE CLERKS 44-0 IN SCHOOL SERIES
TECH TROUNCE CLERKS 44-0 IN SCHOOL SERIES
Cardozo Team Minus Stars, No Match for Power Plays of Armstrong
Scoring one touchdown after another with such unceasing rapidity as to make the heads of their victims swim, the Armstrong Technical High School football team annexed a one-sided 44-0 triumph over the eleven representing the Cardozo High School at Griffith Stadium, Monday afternoon. By so doing the Generals made their coming clash with Dunbar, Monday all the more important. Long runs by members of the two Orange and Blue backfields put to use were a feature of the contest. One of these occurred on the second play of the game and netted 70 yards and the first touchdown.
Poney Freeman, Red Briscoe and Calvin Clark were the chief offenders in this respect. Freeman, quarterback of the Generals, negotiated a trek of 55 yards for the second touchdown of the affair. The shifty little Techite took Raleigh Hawkins's punt a little past midfield and ran through the entire Purple and White team for the score.
General Attack Varies
The Armstrong aerial attack was equally as effective as its running. Whenever Freeman decided to change from one mode of attack to another there was almost always success awaiting his endeavor. A heave from Ellis to Hamilton was good for a third sixpointer, the last of the first half.
Although the Clerks were outplayed in every department of the game it must be said in justice to them that injuries hampered their efforts against the O Streeters. Smack Lucas, fighting quarterback of the Cardozoans, and Flatney Marshall, halfback, were hurt in the Dunbark game last week. Sessions, who has proved to be Coach Jack Young's most reliable ball-carrier this year, was also out as a result of an injury in the clash with the Poets.
Lucas remained inactive throughout the game. A severe sprain of his left ankle forced his idleness. Marshall, although able to play, was obviously handicapped by a similar hurt. Tracey, Hawkins and Spells played with their characteristic will to win, but Dick Temple's charges were not to be denied by a totally inferior team.

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.
—Tuskegee's brilliant ten-year record of unbroken victories in the Alumni Bowl was broken here Saturday by the Wiley Wildcats of Marshall, Texas, who defeated the Golden Tigers, 18 to 7, in one of the most gruelling games that the Tigers have played this season. It was Tuskegee's homecoming occasion; graduates, former students and friends to the number of 3,500 had come from all parts of the South to see the game.
Tuskegee's only touchdown was made in the second quarter after a march of 35 yards when Jack Knight, Tuskegee fullback, amashed over from the 3-vard line. Smith kicked the airtime point.

Probably one of the most severe pastings administered a team in the city scholastic series in many years was that handed the 1934 edition of Cardozo High School Clerks by the Dunbar High School football team at Griffith Stadium, last Thursday afternoon. It was the opening game of play for the local gridiron championship and went to the Crimson and Black by a score of 25-0.
By their victory, the Poets established themselves as rulling favorites to cop the title. Armstrong defeated the Cardozoites in the second game, Monday, but won by no such score as did the Poets. The Generals will play Dunbar in the final contest of the series, Monday.

Coach Charlie Pinderhughos's boys scored touchdowns in every quarter of the game. Geary Curtis, rangy right end of the winners, opened the firing when he pounced on one of the game's many fumbles in the first few minutes of play. Dennett Harrod, a teammate, had advanced the ball to the 12-yard Cardozo line when two Purple and White forms struck him.
Poets Begin Earlier
The Crimson and Black quarterback went one way and the oval another. No sooner had the ball bounded over the goal line than Curtis threw his form into it for the initial score.
Previous to the Poet score Jack Young's outfit had threatened to push over a six-pointer. A Dunbar fumble, recovered deep in her own territory by a Cardozo lineman, placed the Cletks in position to gain the upper hand. Dunbar's line held, however, and the ball was punted out of danger.

What should attract one of the largest crowds of the current Maryland racing season will occur on Saturday's Bowie program along with the celebrated Endurance Handicap. The Bryan and O'Hara Memorial, an event for 3-year-olds and upward for a purse of $5,000, added, over a route of one mile and three sixteenths, is the drawing card. None of the better stables are expected to overlook this opportunity to add to the coffers for winter training and campaigning. The Endurance is Bowie's invitation to owners of promising 2-year-olds to send their youngsters over a distance toward the end of determining their prospects in the bigger spring races at the age of three. The secondary event is for $2,500. added.

Harrod accounted for the final Poet score in the last quarter. The Dunbar halfback skirted his own right end behind perfect interference for a run of 18 yards. Hightower converted the extra point by drop-kick. The three previous attempts for extra points were failures.
Raleigh Hawkins, Smack Lucas and Sessions, the usually dependable trio of Cardozo ball-carriers, were hampered to no little extent by the inability of their forward wall teammates to withstand the charges of the Poet linemen.

Extra Point is Margin of Howard Loss to N. C. State Eleven
Eagles Count Initial Touchdown and Add Point to Sorrow of Second String Bisons; Regulars Unable to Pull Game From Fire
Caught apparently overconfident, the Howard University Bisons suffered their firstloss of the 1934 football season when they fell before the North Carolina State College eleven by the margin of a single point, here last Saturday afternoon.
The Howard University Stadium held a crowd pretty close to 4,000 people as the huskies from the Tarheel State drove to a first period touchdown and then added the extra point which spelled the difference between victory and defeat. The final score was 7-6.

Coach Martin plans to pit the full strength of his team against the Southerners. Only two members of the team have suffered injuries grave enough to put them out of the contest, and the Miner team remains practically as intact as at the beginning of the season. David Brown, Miner halfback, injured in the game with Living-stone, and William Miller, right-guard, injured in the Dover game will not see action.

Coach Charlie West, Bison mentor, pulled a "shock troop" act on the boys from Durham, but instead of serving him and his charges well it turned into a boomerang. The invaders took advantage of the presence of the second string aggregation together with a most timely "break" and pushed over a six-pointer before the game was many minutes old.
Visitors Score First
When the first string group was sent into the fray, the Eagles were leading by a count of 7-0. Howard's best was a touchdown without the convenient extra point conversion. Near the first period's end, North Carolina punted to the Howard 10-yard line, where Anderson fumbled, and Burkett recovered within 8 yards of the Bison goal line. Dooms and Burgess advanced the ball off tackle 7 yards and Thompson went through the Howard center for the touchdown. Dooms rushed the line for the extra point.
Howard maintained possession of the ball practically throughout the second half, gaining 60 yards through a scrimmage, principally by Johnson's stellar play, this back charging eight times until finally he went over for the Bison's only score. Anderson failed in a try for the point to tie the count.
Second Half All Howard
Again in the third quarter, the North Carolinans handled the ball in but four plays, Johnson and Perkins for the most part advancing the ball from the Howard 38 to the North Carolina 12, where it went over to the opponents, who punted and downed Anderson on the Carolina 48. An attempted pass by Anderson was intercepted by Alston, who was thrown on the Caroline 40 to end the period.
Both teams began passing in the waning minutes of the fourth period. Howard trying to snatch the game from the fire. North Carolina striving to maintain the advantage
In this respect the Bisons also surpassed. A pass, Perkins to Anderson, netted Howard 30 yards, and a short pass to White put the ball on the Carolina 12. Johnson hit the line for 9 yards off tackle, and with 3 yards to go and 30 seconds to play. Anderson essayed a pass to Perkins which barely tipped his fingers on the goal line as the final gun was fired.

4 Touchdowns to Garner
One-sided Verdict
BALTIMORE, Md.—The touch-
down thirsty Morgan. Bears smoth-
ered the Hampton Pirates in Bugle
Field, here Saturday, to the tune
of 28 to 0. Not since the Lincoln
zame early in the season have the
Bears registered a touchdown. A
crowd of 1300 fans saw a Morgan
team using a variety of plays, run
roughshod over the Seasiders.
The Bears played a type of game
‘that had not been displayed this
season... The sensational playing of
Otis “Whattaman” Troupe with his
educated toe and elusive broken
field running, the plunging and off-
tackle thrusts of Simpson, the
blocking of Gibbs and Lewis, prov-
ed too much for the Pirates.
The entire Morgan line played a
wonderful game, with, Harmon,
Drake, Crawford and_ Buckett
starring on the defense. ‘Those who
starred and played exceptionally
well on_ the Hampton. team were?

Downingtown on next Saturday.
Both teams are undefeated, but
Downingtown has two ties while
Delaware has all victories. Next
Saturday should prove a good
game, but Delaware by virtue of
scores, is given the edge. Dela-

The National Broadcasting Company has sold to the National Biscuit Company three solid hours of their net work on Saturday night starting December 1. The program is to be used for three hours of dance music by the country's famous bands. There will be three orchestras each night playing for the nation wide "Let's Dance" program, which will touch every section of the country.
Orchestras and a master-of-ceremonies to preside over the broadcasts have not yet been selected. Three orchestras noted for distinctive types of dance music will be utilized, however, in order to lend variety to the programs.
This department is wondering whether there might be a chance for one of the better colored bands to be given a contract.
There can be no mistake about the quality and drawing power of the distinctive types of music as furnished by Duke Ellington, Jimmy Lunceford, Noble Sissle, Cab Calloway and Luis Russell to say nothing of gobs of others we could nominate.
Having completed his southwestern tour in Little Rock on October 30, Cab Calloway and his Cotton Club orchestra played theatre weeks in Kansas City, Chicago and Buffalo, then went into Canada for theatre dates in Toronto and Montreal, his first appearance above the border.
The band will vacation Christmas week, opening at the Loew's Metropolitan, Brooklyn, December 28, and at the Cotton Club on December 30.
Fats Waller will call the meeting of the "Rhythm Club" to order with the numerical melody, "Take a Number from One to Ten." Thursday (tonight), during the broadcast over the WABC-Columbia network from 8:15 to 8:30 p.m.
Syncopation will take the chair and introduce Brother Waller in the song sermon, "Ain't Gonna Sin No Mo'", and also in the piano solo, "Handful of Keys." Other features will be Freddie Righ's Orchestra playing a special arrangement of the symphonic jazz work, "Stratosphere"; and the Eton Boys quartet arrangement of "Do Ah Do Ah Do Ah Know What I'm Doin." To close the meeting, the ensemble will present the old favorite "Somebody Stole My Gal."

Irving Mills has gone to Mexico City to negotiate for an engagements there of Duke Ellington and his famous orchestra, and will visit Hollywood before returning east. In Dallas he booked Ina Ray Hutton and her Melodears for the Hoblitzelle theatres in Texas.
*****
The score for the new Cotton Club show, which is scheduled to open the latter part of November, is being written this time by the Ben Oakland-Michael Parish words-and-music combination, a duo new to Cotton Club presentations but well established in popular and musical show circles.
Parish is responsible for the lyrics of a good many of the top songs that emerge from Mills music, Inc. among them: "Star Dust," "Sophisticated Lady," "One Morning in May," "Enamline" and the present song holding its place in the hit class, "Stars Fell on Alabama."
Changes in the personnel of the Mills Blue Rhythm Band under the leadership of Lucky Millinder have brought Henry Allen, Jr., trumpet player, and Lawrence Lucie, guitar player, into the ranks of the orchestra at the Cotton Club.
Millinder and the Blue Rhythm band will definitely be held over at the Harlem rendezvous for the advent of the new floor show, now in rehearsal. Upon the return of Cab Calloway and his Cotton Club orchestra, December 30, Lucky and his band will start a vaudeville tour.
Cab Calloway gave a Jewish version of Minnie the Mooch at a college dance last month and one wit suggested he be called "Yeshe Kalb Calloway."

"Desirable" Warner Brothers' dynamic and colorful drama of Broadway's theatrical life and its contact with New York's social set, will be shown at the Booker T Theatre for 6 days beginning Friday.
The picture is said to be a stirring romance in which a young and unsophisticated girl who has been kept in seclusion in a finishing school by her mother, a reigning favorite of the Broadway stage, is swept off her feet by the glamour of the society world with which she comes into contact for the first time, but who finally awakens to its shams and flies to the arms of a man for whom she has had a strong friendship without realizing she is really in love with him.
In the cast are Jean Muir, George Brent, Verree Teasdale and John Halliday.
-:-Howard-:-
Signed for a Washington appearance for the first time in his sensational career, Willie Bryant, "Clown Prince of Jazz," will begin a week's engagement at the Howard Theatre, tomorrow (Friday). Bryant will bring his own revue.
A group of 40 or more of the leading footlight performers in the eastern section of the country surrounds the youthful band leader and his orchestra. Bryant's most recent runs were long stands in Chicago and New York.
On the screen the gay sparkling Warner Brothers musical "Hannibal Ahead" featuring the movie world's most popular star, Dick Powell. There'll be real happiness in every head when Dick Powell sings his new songs. There is a roast of fun in this latest Warner Brothers production, following as it does on the heels of "Twenty-Million Sweethearts," "Happiness Ahead" just has to be all it is reported to be.

old sensation faces an utmost insurmountable jinx if she hopes to continue to be a top-ranking favorite by the time she becomes a young lady. It just isn't done in Hollywood. Infant screen players do not hold their popularity. However, in "Now And Forever" Shirley is even more irresistible than she was in "Little Miss Marker." The story, warm in its human qualities and appeal, deals with a reckless scapegrace who brings his little daughter into his adventurous and erratic life. Shirley strengthens her position as the new sweetheart of the motion-picture public.
Beale Street Boys To Show At Lincoln
The Beale Street Boys who will make a personal appearance at the Lincoln Theatre beginning Thanksgiving Day in conjunction with their latest picture "Gift of Gab" are former football stars. They attended Lemoyne College in Memphis. The quartet consists of James Pugh, 21, baritone; V. David Pugh, 23, bass; Willie C. Barnes, 21, first tenor and guitarist, and Robert Davis, 24, second tenor.
At college, James. Pugh played left end on the college football eleven; Barnes, right guard; Davis right end, and James Pugh, brother of David, "just spent time watching them play" Today they huddle in a variety of songs, including spirituals, ballards, waltzes and the run of popular tunes with equal shil.
They are presented at the Lincoln through the courtesy of the Columbia Broadcasting Company and Universal Pictures. "Gift of Gab" has a cast of thirty stars of stage, radio and screen including Ethel Waters.
Direct from a sensational five-week run downtown, the glamorous Grace Moore stage screen and radio favorite will appear in "One Night Of Love" at the Republic Theatre for six days beginning Friday.
The film play presents an enthrancing novel blend of romance, music, drama and exotic settings. It concerns itself with the operatic aspirations of an amorous, carefree young midwestern girl who travels to Italy to study voice culture with the prize money won in a local radio voice contest.
Creatively incorporated into the story are a number of operating sequences in which Mips Moore is permitted to sing several of the greatestarias written by the music master for the operatic stage. Her glori-

Harrison Discusses Negro Dramatics
HAMPTON, Va. — The drama is a broad field of art expression for the Negro only if his playwrights use Negro themes exclusively. This view is expressed by Richard B. Harrison, famous star of the "The Green Pastures," in an interview given to the editor of the Southern Workman, at Hampton Institute recently.
Asked whether the drama is to be one of the great fields of art expression for the Negro, Mr. Harrison replied, "No, not unless the race produces writers of plays in sufficient numbers, and that we are not doing at present." He was asked: "You mean, that your answer is in the affirmative, if we have a sufficient number of Negro playwrights?" I asked, emphatically, but a condition attaches to that," was Mr. Harrison's reply. "The themes of the Negro playwrights must be Negroid definitely and emphatically."
The interviewer said: "Let me get this clear, Mr. Harrison. Do you mean that the Negro playwright stands little chance of success if he enters the broad field of dramatic writing, taking his themes from any subject, just as other playwrights do?" To this he replied: "That is precisely what I mean. So far as my information goes, no Negro play-
whose rise to the heights of cine-
madom was as sensational as was
his debut in musical comedy pre-
presentations. Powell is star of Warner Brothers' latest picture, "Happiness Ahead," which begins a week
tomorrow.
wright has succeeded in having
any of his offerings accepted and
produced with success if they deal
with themes of different type. As
I see it, the themes must be Negroid if they are to have universal acceptance."
Chicago to Run Special to H. U.-Lincoln Game

Cary B. Lewis, managing editor of the Chicago World, will visit Washington, for Thanksgiving to attend the Howard-Lincoln football classic.
Some years ago, Mr. Lewis was in Washington, as secretary to the late Judge Mifflin W. Gibbs, Little Rock, Ark., father of Mrs. Hattie Gibbs Marshall of the Bibbs Conservatory of Music.
He will leave on the Howard-Lincoln Special on which will be the two Queens, "Miss Howard" and "Miss Lincoln". While in Washington, he expects to see a number of his old friends of the east who are members of the "Fourth Estate".
Sir Robert Walpole was in power in 1721-42 and since that time the government leader has been called the Prime Minister. The title was legally established in 1905.

MORRIS L. MURRAY
Remember that old proverb, do unto others as you would have them do unto you? One's character is not judged by one's monetary standing, but by their home training and inbreeding of culture, and refinement. One may be classed as the richest boy or girl in their institution of learning and may yet not come up to the social ideals because of their lack of these characteristics. The educational board of the District of Columbia did a very fine thing when they installed free lunches for those unable to procure them.
One should not be ashamed to take advantage of this gift and one should not have so much pride as to refuse it merely because of the teasing of children more fortunate than themselves. It doesn't make much difference how much cash one has, because money does not make the man. So in the future won't you try to be a little more considerate for those, who like millions are on the relief rolls, not because of any deficiency on the part of their elders or themselves, but because of the present economic condition. 'Tis by the grace of God ly, that you who are thoughtless are not in worse conditions, than are those upon those whom you so thoughtlessly apply ridicule.
Get this, you guys! With tears in his eyes a very popular officer at Dunbar listened to his girl sing, "I Love You Truly," as memories of forgotten days creeped slowly but swiftly upon him***Baldwin Whitlock has been seen a lot with Daisy S. of Thomas Street. What happened to Annabelle Jones? Is she out in the cold again (as usual.***Overheard: I would jive your broad but you are the cat's meow and play feetball. Are the boys afraid of the backfall. H.

I think the name will be "The Ivy Arts." If this be so, there won't be much unity in the club, because two members in it, are always trying to get back at each other. Let's hope this won't be the case, and may the "I. A.'s become one of the best clubs in the Younger Set****Here comes another armband chapter.

Local Dances
By Joseph C. Beat
Hello, friends! The best that I can do for you this week is to tell you of the dances to come. Of course, I have some dance news for you nevertheless... And now for the lowdown...The Dolly Dimple, popular social club of this city, is holding a complimentary swinger for the members of the Armstrong and Dunbar football contenders, on Monday, at the Masonic...The club has only six members, Cecelia Greenfield, Louise Terry, Margarite Weaver, Doris Lysiv, Eloise Mills, and Gladys Hunter.
Pardon, mel!... The Czar-Hamptonians and all ye Deanwood muggers were present at the dance Wednesday, at the Deanwood School. Music was furnished by the Washboard Blues.
Three pights in a bar-room couldn't quite satisfy Diddy of Southeast, so he took in the pajama ball on Monday at the Little Samaritan Hall down Southwest. All of the moon light boys were present including Sugar Martin. Wonder where was Maurice Butler.... Several one-night cabarets are in bloom all over the city this week, so maybe I can give you the lowdown next week.
Visitor: How are you enjoying your liberty?
Convict: Yes, I'm here for having five wives.
WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 24. 1934
THE MOUTHPIECE
Your eyes now feast upon the ninth wonder of the world, the first column ever to be written by a racketeer. A few weeks ago, while idly munching the dark meat off a leg of piano, in walks me pal, Ricco, and dishes da doit that Mildred (N.Y.) Taylor is still holding the torch for Lawrence (D.C.) Hill, who met with nine hilltop "cats" to hold their weekly Saturday night meeting in the home of the notorious Juanita Evans (or did she accidentally on purpose invite them all around on the same night?) and say, where does Nora Mae Rasby fit in this meeting?
Our local moll, Lucille ("Tugboat Annie") Parris, hit Virginia State campus with all hands on deck. Speaking of interesting characters, haw many of us remember Clar Blake, who is a "pan-handler" Freedmen's Hospital, or the officia chair warmers of Cardozo night school, Frances Smackum, Altena Thurston, and Ruth Alexander?... By the way, Claudia Parrilla, bless her 'innocent soul, why doesn't she go to school with Harold, these dark nights; and wouldn't we like to know what has become of Scarboro S...it couldn't be that R.P'a marriage made him fade, eh?
I sent me boys up by Miner T. 'tother day to chisel in on some of the X's north side territory. On the way they stopped to jaw with "Weak Knees," and who should pass tipping the bricks, but the popular Louise Bell, in company with William Simpson; looks as though he's snared. Nancy McKenzie can't get bumped off to the idea that her chances with Richard Ware have been plugged by Vernice Fields... Everett Cooper now takes

So go to it!

Was It All A Dream?
If you had asked any blocks on the hill what they thought of the Howard team before last Saturday you would have heard—remarks like these; "Wo. got the best team in the conference;" "Coach West is a great man;" "That Bob Anderson is the best player on the team;" "We are sure to win these two last set-ups and then tie for the title." Now, if the government had passed a new prohibition law, the students and teachers, in fact the whole campus could not be any more glum or downhearted than after losing Saturday's game. So we hear these remarks; "Coach West is the dumbest coach in the world; I could do better than that;" "Why didn't they bench that dumb quarterback, Bob Anderson and use Sutler?" Why not get someone who can drown kick, that makes two games Bob Anderson lost;" etc.
And Why Not
After having the most promising team in years, Howard permits
on at lunch periods between R. J. and M. D. isn't stopped, somebody's heart is due for a fall...Not the old maestro's but W. Bryant's...
FLASH...It looks as if D. J. has forgotten Ralph Gill, as she was seen in a popular history class holding hands with Charles Roster...
The little drama was so noticeable that the teacher had to separate the two turtle doves...
Of course, neither party will press charges against their pal (Winchell) as he has plenty of proof to their little act.
Now when has a certain young man become so popular as to make Marguerite Hoole almost tear the door from her step papa's V-8 in her eagerness to get out and greet him?...The romance between Catherine Harris and her heart can't last as they are seen together too often. Yowirs, one or the two will soon become a bore to the other...With the Mae West of Cardozo (S. C.) in his way, our friend, Joe Miller, can't give Juanta Dixon, a very dizzy P.

Mitchell parades to
J. K. P.—I want to know if I will be successful with my job next year?
Ans. I am of the opinion that you will be more successful with your work next year than you have been in 1934. You have brought a lot of business to the company you work for and they know what you are capable of doing. If you keep up the good work you won't have to worry about looking for another job.
D. I.—I have a headache most all the time and it worries me day and night. I want to know what causes it and what should I do to get rid of it?
Ans.: It appears to me that your eyes are what causes you to have such pains in your head.. They seem to be very weak and it would pay you to have them looked after at once. I advise you to consult a good eye specialist. After you wear glasses for a while I believe you will be completely cured of your headaches.
O. S—My husband and I were at church and when we returned home our radio was gone and I want you to help me locate it?
Ans.: While you and your husband were at church, a very close friend of yours took the liberty of borrowing your radip for a dance and she is afraid to return it. I advise you to write to me for one of my new astrology readings, and I will go into your case more thoroughly. See note attached to this column.
H. B. N.—What must I do to better my condition? Should I take the steps I have in mind?
Ans.: I think it would be best for all parties concerned if you leave the man you are with now. He promised to marry you when you started living with him and now he is interested in someone else, he doesn't want to live up to his promise. I advise you to get out of his way and let him have a good time. You'll be a lot happier as the wife of "J. B."
R. M. C.—Can you tell me who killed our dog or did it die a natural death?
Ans.: I get the impression that your dog was killed on HALLOW-EEN NIGHT. The dog ran out in the street and was struck by an automobile. The accident was unavoidable.
I. P.—Will you kindly tell me if I will receive any money from the source I have in mind?
NOTE: Your question answered in this paper—ONLY when a clipping of this column is enclosed in your letter. For private reply—send a quarter (25e) and a self-addressed, stamped envelope, for my NEW ASTROLOGY READING—and receive by return mail FREE salaries on three ($7) questions. Sign your FULL NAME, BIRTH DATE, and CORRECT ADDRESS. Send all letters to Abbe Wallace, care of WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, 920 U Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C.
this second-rate team ruin their chances for gridiron fame, through the dumbness of a few people. It is the same ole case of "too much newspaper praise" and "swell heads." So ends this year's battles for the Bisons. No, I did not forget the Lincoln Classic. That will be the year's biggest farce—32 to 0.
The ole popularity contest gets under way this week, so get your old man's, auntie's, uncle Joe's, your neighbors' and friends' Tribunes, cut out the ballots and send them in for your club. A lot of the clubs tell me that they are ready to try to win this big swinger, and don't forget that Pete Moss is playing.
While strolling past the H. U.'s Conservatory I paused to hear a hilltop "cat" practicing on one of favorite compositions which reminded me of the old days when I used to grab my violin case and rush to the scene of action, and here's hoping I won't have to dig out me old fiddle for "Al" Lyons who was seen with Juanita Evans in the V-8 last Monday while Lawrence Hill sports the campus in the latest fads trying to make love to all of the beautiful co-eds. Now I ask you how long can this last?
And So It Didn't Register
Yvonne was heard telling Walter Finchell that she wished Happy Robinson would save his jive for Gwen. H., as he only wants to make himself a bigshot on the campus."Buddie C. are you trying to fool the X by riding the girl friend around after dark?""I wonder why Anne (Mingtoy) Puchman, the cute little Miner chick, doesn't give Goofy Franklin a chance to get in words to the tune of "I only have eyes for you?" Is it because the Perry H. haram has increased?""Besides being angry about losing the game Saturday, P. Perkins did not like the idea of 'Baby Face' Anderson taking Barbara to the Colonnade and then to the dance on the hill."I guess I will see everyone at the joint pee meeting in the Lincoln Colonnade Wednesday at 7 p.m. with a bonfire on the stage and both teams and their rooters invited. So come one and all.
Ans.; You are entitled to the money from the insurance your uncle left at his death, and by all means, you should try to get it. I suggest that you get a DEATH CERTIFICATE from the doctor that attended your uncle while he was sick, and present it to the insurance company. You have waited a long time to collect this money and if you're not careful you'll lose it
M. L. J.—Will you please tell me what to do to get a conversation with my boy friend? We have been separated for several weeks.
Ans.: You boy friend is just waiting for an explanation from you. He has not called you up during the last few weeks because he feels that it is your place to apologize to him for the incident that caused your separation. Why don't you write him a letter and explain everything to him. He will believe you.
E. D.-It seems that I won't be able to keep my place. Do you think that I should let some real estate company take it over?
Ans: I wouldn't be too hasty in this matter. I get the impression that you have been going to get a government loan on your house, but it hasn't gone through yet. It takes a long time to get a loan that don't give up too soon. Walt and see for certain whether or not you are going to get it before turning your house over to a real estate company.
R. B.—I want you to tell me where my mother is and if my grandmother and I will ever hear from her?
Ans: Your mother appears to be living in Chicago at the present time, at the same place she has been staying for the past several years. If you want to hear from her I advise you to write to her and tell her your grandmother is ill. This will be news to her.
K. R—I am a teacher and I would like for you to tell me if I should quit my job or what should I do in this case?
Ans: There are a lot of teachers out of a job now and would be glad to be in your shoes so I advise you to hold on to your job. It seems that the city expansees have heavier in the last few months than usual and they were forced to ask you teachers to wait for your pay. Don't worry about not getting it. They intend to pay at their earliest convenience.

TEACHER FLAYS LACK OF CIVIC ACTIVITIES
Charles M. Thomas Tells Group We Depend Too Much on Otters
"Why our people acquire beautiful homes, rear families, and yet fail to participate in civic activities, is beyond my understanding," said Charles Thomas instructor at Armstrong High School, at a meeting of the Capitol View Citizens Association, Monday. This statement was provoked by the fact that the attendance of this meeting was so small, considering the population of the community. "Whether it's the ease and convenience, such as the easy chair, radio, electric lights and newspaper, I can't see," continued Mr. Thomas, "but there is something seriously lacking.
"There are 43 cities in the U.S. with population no larger than the Negro population of the District of Columbia, still I have never seen over 30 people at a meeting of the Federation of Civic Associations, we are going back," averred Mr. Thomas. "We depend too much on having some one do things for us, we must first do something for ourselves," he concluded.
To substantiate this statement, he mentioned that he was informed at Mrs. Roosevelt donated a check for $25 to the Community Baby Clinic (Dean Avenue and Fiftieth Street), which was an outgrowth of the Self Help Co-operative.

Two Scottsboro Boys Are Granted Stay of Execution
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—(CNS)—A 60-day stay of execution has been granted two defendants in the "Scottsboro Case," to permit the International Labor Defense Counsel more time to perfect an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. The stay moves the date of execution from December 7 to February 8, and was granted by the Supreme Court of Alabama on a mail request from Osmond K. Frenkel of New York, who has been retained by the International Labor Defense to handle the appeals of Haywood Patterson and Clarence Norris.

Howard Long and Others Address Medico-Chirurgical Organization
Flaws in the theories of rehabilitation of alley populations were pointed out by Howard H. Long, assistant superintendent of schools and member of the rehabilitation corporation engaged in development of housing under the PWA, in a speech before members of the Medico-Chirurgical Society at the Musolit Club, Saturday night. "It is possible," he said, "to build good homes to be rented for less than $4 a room, but there is a fallacy in believing that the social problem is solved by providing certain alley populations with good homes. "Closing up an alley," he went on, "adds little or nothing to the cultural outlook of the people who lived there."
E. Franklin Frazier, professor of sociology at Howard University, discussed economic and social factors involved in housing programs. Dr. Austin M. Curtis advocated regular inspection of newly constructed homes by the health department. Other speakers on the program included: Dr. Montague Cobb, Dr. B. Price Hurst, Dr. H. H.

Despite the fact that the Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson, has issued a proclamation calling off the Grand Lodge Convention which was to have held the annual session in this city next August, the two lodges, Columbia, No. 85, and Morning Star, No. 40, are standing firm and contending for their sovereign rights. The two lodges have been charged with subordination by the Grand Exalted Ruler as stated in his proclamation and for fear that the proper reception will not be given the Grand Lodge delegates is the reason for calling off the convention. Columbia Lodge at its regular meeting on last Monday evening, and Morning Star Lodge on Tuesday evening, gave a unanimous vote to the report presented by the Convention Committee representing the two lodges which held a meeting at the home of Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, on last Saturday evening.
One of the recent moves of the Grand Exalted Ruler, was the dismissal of William H. Davis, who was appointed District Deputy and was elected to serve as a recording secretary of the Convention Committee and because Mr. Davis told the Grand Exalted Ruler that he was with the lodge 100 per cent, he was dismissed from his office of which he would have presided over the election of officers of the two

550,000 NEGROES IN URBAN AREAS ON RELIEF ROLLS
Whites in Washington Show 126 Per Cent Increase Since Oct. 1933
A total of 550,000 Negro cases were receiving emergency relief in urban areas of the United States in May, 1934, according to an estimate issued today by Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency Relief Administrator.
The estimate, based on a study made recently by the Division of Research, Statistics, and Finance of the FERA, shows that the number of Negro relief cases this May was 34 per cent, or 140,000 cases, greater than in October, 1938, when a nation-wide census showed 410,000 Negro cases on relief.
The total number of urban relief cases increased by about 36 per cent during the same period, rising from 2,023,000 in October, 1933, to about 2,750,000 in May, 1934.
Total Number Increase
This number of Negro relief cases is more than $2\frac{1}{2}$ times as great as would be expected from the number of Negro families in the total urban population. Both in October, 1933, and in May, 1934, approximately 20 per cent of urban cases receiving relief were Negro, whereas only 7.6 per cent of all families in the urban population in 1930 were Negro families. The disproportion reflects the greater economic distress existing among the Negroes. It is significant to note that, although during the earlier years of the depression Negroes came on relief at a much more rapid rate than whites, they increased in about the same proportion as whites during the seven-month period covered by the figures.
Cities Varied
D.C. Show Increase
Striking increases in both Negro and white cases were reported for three of the 15 cities—Norfolk, Va.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Washington, D.C.—in which the total increase was more than 100 per cent during the seven-month period. In these three cities the white cases were between 126 per cent and 158 per cent more numerous in May than they were in October, 1933, while the Negro cases were between 88 per cent and 96 per cent more numerous. Finally, it may be pointed out that in the two cities where there was a decrease in the numbers receiving relief in May, 1934, as compared with the previous October—Detroit, Mich.; and New Orleans, Pa.—the white cases left the rolls more rapidly than the Negro cases, the figures being 33 per cent for the whites and 15 per cent for the Negroes in Detroit and 34 per cent and 33 per cent, respectively, in New Orleans.

Only Seven Well-defined Cases Developed, Say Scool Officers
MARSHALL, Texas.—Officials of Wiley College here denied last week a story published in a Pittsburgh paper describing health condition at the college.
Officers of the college released the following statement:

"There have been developed seven well-defined cases of twiohoid fever among the Wiley students. These have been isolated on the campus or permitted to go home at request of parents and with the consent of physicians and school authorities, under proper protection for their health and that of the public. Others showing any symptoms of the fever have been placed under surveillance and tested. No new cases have developed. All students and teachers have been in touch with the situation and advise that the matter was handled in a very satisfactory way. "The regular school routine has gone steadily ahead without a break. Not more than ten persons in all have been affected in the least and there are no indications of a spread of the disease.

Driver Freed by Coroner's Jury Following Probe of Accident
James Milboy, white, 33, of Ballston, Va., was absolved of blame in connection with the traffic death of Nataniel Stewart, 30, 1524 E Street, Southeast, when a coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death at the inquest held at the District Morgue, Friday. Stewart, laborer for the McQuite and Rolph Construction Co., was fatally injured last Wednesday when a seven-ton Mack truck, loaded with concrete, backed over his body while working on the constructing of Broad Branch Road near Brasswine Street. The truck, driven by Milboy, is owned by the Super-Concrete Co.
Testimony at the inquest revealed that Milroy was unable to see Stewart while backing the heavy truck to the point where he was to unload the mixture. Negligence on the part of the construction company in not having any one to direct the backing trucks was also revealed at the probe. Stewart, employee on the job for three weeks, was working on the right side of the street when the accident occurred while his fellow workers were all on the opposite side, testimony showed. He died at Emergency Hospital.
Smithsonian Head is Directed to Use Capital "N" in the Word Negro
HAMPTON, Va.—Writing under date of October 31, Kenneth B. M. Crooks, assistant professor of biology here, to Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, editor of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, made the following suggestions and request to the editor: "I have noticed that in each of the letters that the Wistar Institute has written on me about my "notes," the word NEGRO is spelled with a small n"—"negro." I am writing to ask you to request them as printers of the Journal to use capital N (e.g. "Negro") in each and every case, not only in my paper but in the future, as this practice of capitalizing has been adopted for several years by most of the leading newspapers and periodicals in the country."
Director M.,J. Greemman of the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology, Philadelphia, replied as follows:
"I am very grateful to you for calling this error to my attention. The noun Negro, like the nouns Jew, Caucasian, Indian, etc., should be capitalized and I will see that this practice is followed in all Wistar Institute publications in the future."

MRS. MARY SELDEN WINS JUDGMENT
(Continued from page 1) the Board of Education. The District, represented by Assistant Corporation Counsel T. M. Walsh, declared that Mrs. Selden was too ill to perform her duties and that she refused to report for a physical examination when she applied for reinstatement.
Doctors Disagreed
After her dismissal by the Board in January, 1930, Mrs. Selden went to Winchester, Kv. where she lived with her husband, Dr. George H. Selden until the time she was reinstated at Armstrong. Dr. Selden, on the stand Monday, told the court that his wife was physically normal and able to perform her household duties during the stay although she appeared upset and worried over her recent dismissal. During this same period she was treated by Dr. J. Harris of Winchester, who in a certificate, sent to Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, with Mrs. Selden's application for retirement January 8, 1931, declared Mrs. Selden "totally incapacitated for useful and efficient service."
Ill Since 1918
On cross-examination, Dr. Selden declared that the symptoms described by Dr. Harris in his certificate were correct but that he disagreed with his opinion. Another physician, Dr. S. LeCount Cook, who has treated Mrs. Selden since an operation in 1918, testified that in 1930 Mrs. Selden was ill but able to perform her duties. He stated that he suggested she take a rest as she could recuperate while away better than at work.
G. David Houston, principal at Armstrong, testified for the District Monday. He declared that he fully advised Mrs. Selden when she made application for leave of absence that she would be considered dismissed and upon her return would be given the first vacancy.
Accused of showing an "autocratic and arbitrary rule" in the case by Defense Attorney Hilland, Mr. Wilkinson admitted that he ordered Mrs. Selden to appear for a physical examination when she made application for reinstatement. This, the defense charged, was illegal.
The defense also charged that Mr. Wilkinson had withheld several communications from Mrs. Selden relative to her application for retirement and application for reinstatement from the Board of Education.
Since her reinstatement in 1932, Mrs. Selden has been serving as matron at the P-Street school and is still working. During the time of her alleged dismissal and the Court of Appeals' ruling, Miss A. S. Johnson, now matron at the Browne Junior High School, served in that capacity at Armstrong.

Use of Stimulants Cause of High Crime Rate Says Freedmen's Physician
Declaring that the laws of temperance should not only be observed in the use of alcohol and alcoholic beverages, but also in all of our daily activities should we be aware of the fact that the same laws that govern our bodies in the use of intoxicants hold good in the consumption of nicotine and other drugs. Dr. Ralph Wright, of Freedmen's Hospital staff, addressed the Young People's Christian Endeavor Society, Sunday at Third Bantist Church.
Charging that the high crime rate of the District is caused by the free use of stimulants. Dr. Wright continued, "Nicotine and alcohol are two stimulants that the youth of today are prone to use in excess. This is due to the fact that they are easy to get. Under the influence of stimulants more crimes are committed and more accidents happen than by any other cause."
Dr. Wright's address featured the observance of Temperance Day by the Society. Other speakers on the program were the Rev. George O. Bullock, the Rev. James Walker, Mrs. Bessie R. Taylor and Lewis W. Medley. The song service was led by the Christian Endeavor choir under the direction of George Barringer. Devotionals were led by Mrs. Viola Gaither. Carol Johnson, Mrs. Fannie M. Reed, James Brown and Linnie R. Smith were others on the program.
Celler Sees Passage of Anti-Lynching Measure
Belief that the new congressional alignment will facilitate enactment of anti-lynching legislation was expressed by Representative Celler of New York, ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee.
"Now that Northern and Western Democrats outnumber those from Southern States ... where most of the lynching takes place—we'll be able to pass an anti-lynching bill along the lines of the Wagner-Costigan bill," he told the Associated Press.
This measure whier failed to pass last session. would hold law-enforcing officials responsible for lynchings, as well as those who actually participate in them.
"Heretofore," Clerer said, "the South has always been able to defeat such legislation, because of its strength in Congress. Now, however, Northern Democrats outnumber them in both the Senate and House."

Local Health Conditions Deplorable Says Recorder
The Civic National Forum presented Dr. William J. Thompkins, Recorder of Deeds, who spoke on "Community Health" at the Israel C. M. E. Church, Sunday. The speaker said that interracial cooperation is necessary to solve our present community problems. Health conditions in this city are tragic, deplorable, and not creditable to the high intellectual rating of the population. The local authorities were charged with gross indifference and wilful neglect in failing to provide suitable clinics, health centers, and hospital accommodations, especially for the tubercular by Dr. Thompkins. The public has been maliciously led to believe that Negroes are getting the same accommodations as the whites, he said.
The District Board of Health should have, at least one Negro member, Dr. Thompkins stated, Congress will be asked for a million-dollar appropriation to further a health program in this city. Miss Aquilla Sheppard, of the Virgil School of Music directed by Prof. C. E. Taylor, delighted the audience with her singing of two solos. The meeting was held under the joint auspices of the Epworth League, of which Mrs. V. E. Howard is president. The next meeting of the Forum will be held at the Twelfth Street Y. M. C.

"RELIEF MONEY DEFEATED ME" SAYS DePRIEST
CHICAGO, (ANP) — Undaunted by defeat in last Tuesday's election, Congressman Oscar DePriest, speaking Friday, expressed his undiminished confidence in his people and his determination to continue his efforts in their behalf. Said he:
"My interest in the welfare of the American Negro will not diminish. I shall continue my fight for human rights and human justice. I shall have confidence in the intergrity of the Negro race despite the failure of some of the voters to resist the methods of the opposition.
"In my campaign, I was handicapped by relief, money, powers of the police, and the floating vote methods which were used against me."

WOMAN WHO SHOT AT HUSBAND IS EXONERATED
Police Court Judge Refuses to Hold Wife on Deadly Weapon Charge
Observing that any woman who attempted to shoot a man who was on bond for having threatened her life and who came to her house seeking entrance at a back door after the midnight hour was justified in doing so, Judge Isaac R. Hitt dismissed charges of assault with a dangerous weapon filed against Mrs. Eleanor Carpenter, 1303 Girard Street, Northeast, in Police Court, Tuesday morning.
Attorney Harry A. Dyson, representing Mrs. Carpenter, contributed a brilliant argument in defense of his client.
Mrs. Carpenter was arraigned following complaint of her estranged husband to the effect that she had tried to shoot him down when he went to her house to get an overcoat he had left there. A friend of Carpenter, William Washington, appeared as a witness for the accusing husband.
After he had described how his wife had taken a shot at him as he sought entrance to the house, Carpenter was challenged by Attorney Dyson with the statement that he had been tried in court on September 25 on a charge of threats against Mrs. Carpenter. The man admitted this and also admitted that he had been placed on bond in connection with that charge.
In his argument counsel for the defense contended that Mrs. Carpenter was justified in being afraid for her own safety and that any act on her part would be vindicated in view of the court's warning that Carpenter was to stay away from her. He also intimated that even he would have been reluctant to accept a visit as being friendly if it occurred after the midnight hour. Judge Hitt, in rendering his decision, concurred with Attorney Dyson.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
DEFENDS BAPTISTS FROM ARTICLE HE SAYS BETRAYED
Minister Condemns Writer of Tribune Release, "Baptists Headed Toward Reforms"
By Reverend H. S. Johnson The article in last week's Tribune under the caption, "Baptists Seen Headed Toward Church Reforms," would certainly challenge an eye witness to the affair. I was moved by it to write my version of what is happening, has happened and is likely to happen.
In modern history, the growth of the press is remarkable. The press as a general term should include all literature and is the art from which much of the history and thought of the world has been transmitted from generation to generation. It seems to be a fixed institution, with its own world, its own traditions, prejudices, limitations—all the idols of the cave where it dwells and toils. We boast of the freedom of individual opinions, but our forefathers had no dreams that they would be carried to such an alarming extent, filling our cities and villages with polluting, hatred and crime-breeding productions, such as the article of last week.
"Shockingly Impure"
In my estimation, the greater part of the article, as current literature, was shockingly impure. Its mischief-breeding suggestions are invested with a rhetorical drapery that is fascinating and bewitching. Isn't it just as degrading to commune with articles of such a character as it is to keep company with the most disreputable person in the community?
The man who walks the streets with a plumed and painted harlot is not more impure than he who bends over the pages of unclean columns. Many people of today await with anxiety the end of the week for such moral filth. Such articles as the one to which reference is here made, classifies such readers as moral vultures that scent vileness and rottenness and look for it until they find it. Such articles as those are guilty of poisoning their minds with the venon of untruth.
Power of Press Great
I know that the power of journalism is immense and almost irresistible. Upon this subject, Lawel wrote: "I know of no position so responsible as that of the public journalist."
What a pulpit a writer can mount weekly! A congregation of a possible two hundred thousand within reach of the voice and never a nodder among them. And from what a Bible one can choose his text! A Bible which needs no translation, and which no priestcraft can shut and clasp from the laity. The open volume of the world upon which, with a pen of sunshine or destroying fire, the annals of time may be written.
The newswriter who would understand his calling and be equal therein would truly deserve the title which Honer bestows upon princes. He should be the Moses of this century, and whereas the old Sinai, silent now, is but a common mountain, stared at by geologists, he must find his tables of new law, here in this wilderness of sin called progressive civilization, and be the captain of our exodus into a truer social order.
No Good Can Result
The evils traceable to the bad features of the column referred to more than counterbalance the good with which the writer hopes to be credited. Why would one invade the sanctity of the ministerial unity for the gratification of the scandal-monger or the satisfaction of petty spite? If he meant well, the best and truest interest of the pulpit would be his guide. Surely he should be liberal in spirit, but why not be loyal to the truth?
When and where, have you seen a delegate to an ordination-council with the "building evidence or examination questions copied from some book"? Are you guilty of trying to be funny or do you mean to "smoothly prevaricate"? The ministers do not ask you or any group of individuals to pick a few and classify them as "New dealers of a reformation."
Guilty of Betraying
The deliberate accusation that the ministers are undermining the confidence of the people in the churches must be compared with the winds and waves of doubt and distrust caused by the hazy sentimentalism, vague declamation, glittering generalities and cunning subterfuge of some outside columnists. I am still wondering about your sincerity in praising the "newdealers" when you conclude with an attack upon the faulty examination of the young man and views his mission as the wolf among sheep.
In referring you to Luke's narrative of the Prodigial Son as a guide for honest writing, I beg that you be devout, but not sanctimonious; courageous but not paganous; enterprising but not sensational; alert but not pert; literary but not genius—so cright and sweet; brave, strong and pure; that the question of your sincerity as regards our denominational rights will in the future require the smallest thought.

sive in itself but primarily because of its distinctly American character. Dawson has succeeded in eloquently portraying that aspect of American life which he has seen, and lived and felt, most profoundly. It is a work which is vital and personal."
"Dawson, a young Alabamian, has voiced the spirit of his people struggling in a new land; the ancient voice of Africa transferred to America and here expressed through the medium of the white man's most highly developed instrument—the symphony orchestra."
Not Religious
In an exclusive interview with the Associated Negro press, Mr. Dawson explained his work. "It is not religious but classical in the modern idiom," he pointed out. "A central theme runs throughout the symphony. It is melancholy, a sort of wail, a type of hymn related to jazz in its rhythm. It is an attempt to develop Negro music, something which they said, again and again, could not be developed. I made up my mind four years ago to stop talking myself and let others do the talking. Ever since then I have been writing the music. I have never doubted the possibilities of our music, for I feel that buried in the South is a music that somebody, day some will discover. They will make another great world music out of the folk songs of the South. I feel from the bottom of my soul that it will rank one day, with the music of Brahms and the Russian composers."
Director at Tuskegee
The composer of this Negro symphony is nationally known as the director; of the School of Music Tuskegee Institute, conductor of the famous Tuskegee Institute Choir which soon became a national sensation two years ago when the curtain rose on the opening of the Radio City Music Hall, New York.

for criminal negligence for having a loaded revolver about his person. According to the testimony which absolved Aed, the latter was engaged in a friendly tussle with Leroy Betts, 914 T Street, Northwest, when a pistol fell from a sweater pocket, struck the floor and was discharged, the bullet entering and lodging in the abdomen of the Green boy standing a few feet away.
Aed has been named defendant in a civil suit filed by the slain youth's mother through the same law firm which now represents her in her domestic rift.
Father and Mother Estranged
She states in her petition that an estranged relationship has existed between her husband and herself for some time. This separation, she avers grew out of his numerous cruelties and of her fear of him. Mrs. Green declares that her husband has been guilty of many threats of bodily harm to her and for that reason she was compelled to leave him and move up to the Ninth Street address.
Since the type of her desertion of their home, Mrs. Green states, she has made no request of her husband to contribute, to her for the support of either herself or their box. This maintenance was provided, she asserts, by her ability to work and provide for them. Now, however, Mrs. Green declares she is no longer able to work and is facing a funeral expense of nearly $500. The court is requested to issue an order requiring the defendant to help defray this expense and furnish something for her support and maintenance.
WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 24, 1934
Elk Official Urges "Y" Group to Build Up Organizations
Judge William C. Hueston, chairman of the Education Committee of the Grand Lodge of Elks, delivered the inaugural address of the Twelfth Street "Y" Chapter of the International Emblem Club, Friday. Judge Hueston's subject was "The Need of Organizations in an Organized World."
In the course of his address, he told of his connection with the Y.M.C.A. which began back in Kansas City, Missouri, where he served as volunteer executive secretary at the beginning of the Kansas City "Y", and later as member of the Committee of Management. At Gary, Indiana, Judge Hueston was also an influential member of the Y.M.C.A. Governing Board.
Judge Hueston stated that a quarter of a century ago the Negro was over-organized with social and semi-social organizations but now, when organizations are so essential to his development, the Negro is fast becoming unorganized. He made a plea for more study to be given to the areas of our life where organization is the key to success and urged that we prepare to build up organizations in those areas. The Emblem Club is an international body of the Young Men's Christian Association which has as its purpose building goodwill in the community and attracting the men and boys into the association membership. The Twelfth Street "Y" Chapter will meet on the third Friday in each month at dinner. Special programs will be presented.
The officers of the club are: F. E. Parks, Jr., president; L. Roscoe Evans, first vice president; J. F. Jipfer Derricott, second vice president; J. F. N. Wilkinson, treasurer; Campbell C. Johnson, director; J. E. Elliott, secretary. In addition to the officers the following Executive Committee was named: A. L. Taylor, H. T. Thrasher, I. N. Cupid, J. I. Minor, J. H. Houston, and N. H. Nichols, Jr.
The charter members of the club are Edward J. Edwards, Jr., A. A. Greene, F. M. Robinson, L. W. Johnson, J. D. Campbell, R. H. Ashton, Robert Harris, A. L. Dunlap, H. A. Honesty, M. A. Harris, M. Wainright, George Murphy, O. T. McIntyre, Walter C. Ellis, Richard Brice, R. E. Winston, C. F. Gandy, O. L. Henderson, R. J. Walker, L. L. Whaley, George Williams, W. R. Lea, Emmett Preston, Robert Best, and Julius Carroll.

comprimise on John T. Rhines, but it was reported that Rhines refused the position.
In the meantime, both sides are marking time. Wilson scoffed at a report that the two lodges here would sue him for $50,000 charging libel in that the two groups were insubordinate. "They are subordinate," said Wilson when he was approached by the writer. "They have disobeyed my order, and if that's not insubordination, I would like to know that is," he said.
R Retraction
with, exalted ruler of C. Lodge, wrote a letter to grand exalted ruler this week manding a retraction within ten days of the "insubordination" statement in the proclamation. Wilson does not believe that such a suit will hold water in court and he is willing to go to bat on it. William H. Davis who was appointed district deputy and was elected to serve as a recording secretary of the convention committee, was dismissed this week by Wilson. However, the Elk chieftainstated that the dismissal was not due to the present controversy, but was because of inefficiency, he said. E. H. Harris, another district deputy, was dismissed for "reasons best known to myself." said the "Grand." "I have letters on the Harris case that he knows about and he was relieved for that reason." Wilson said.
Legal Battle Seen
Regardless which side wins out in the present fight, a long legal battle is seen in the offing by forecasters and it is this struggle which will harm both sides and the order, regardless of the final outcome.
Wilson again pointed out that he had no personal grudge against Jones or any of the members of the two lodges, but he insists that the general chairman must be a man of his selection while the lodges contend it is their sovereign right to name the man for the position.

home. Mrs. Williston preferred charges against him and had him arrested.
Since that time the youthful husband has entertained a dislike for the family of his wife and has forbidden her to visit her mother. To add to this, Guy is alleged to be extremely jealous of his wife. These two factors, jealousy and dislike for his wife's family, contributed toward the mood in which he was found Sunday.
An older brother of Mrs. Guy, Sidney, was in the city visiting his mother, having come to Washington on an excursion from Pittsburgh, Pa. He had called and requested that his sister come over to see him. Guy, after first strenuously objecting to her going, later became reconciled and told his wife she might go but to be sure to return not later than 3 o'clock. Mrs. Guy went to her mother's home and spent some time with her people. As she prepared to return home her mother and Mr. Williston left for Baltimore where another sister, Mrs. Grace Parrot, Ives. Mrs. Guy stopped to talk with two young women who live in the Williston residence Her mother and brother left.
Went After Her
While Mrs. Guy was engaged in conversation with the two friends, Guy called and told her she had overstayed her time and that he was "oohing after her." However, before she could get out of the house, her husband was coming in the front gate.
Guy went straight to the basement door and, though he saw Mrs. Guy standing just inside with coat on, the man allegedly smashed in the glass panel with his first. Running up the stairs, his wife lifted the receiver of the telephone and requested that the operator send the police to the house. She then left by the upstairs front door. The two women occupants of the house fled out of the back door. One stopped in a neighbor's house and duplicatted Mrs. Guy's telephone call.
Meanwhile Guy had dragged himself through the downstairs door cutting his arms and legs as he did so. Further injuries were sustained when he fell back into the fragments of glass on the floor and door sill.
Police Can't Hold Him
With blood flowing freely from his wounds, the man went in search of his wife. Unable to find her he gave vent to his wrath by smashing everything that came within his reach. He was thus engaged when police arrived in a Scout car. So furious was he that he first broke away from the officers when they apprehended him. They again caught him, though, and placed him under arrest.
Guy was taken in the Third Precinct patrol to Emergency Hospital where he was given first aid by Dr. H. Abramson. Later he was removed to Gallinger Hospital where it was reported yesterday (Wednesday) that his condition is "fair."
Residents in the neighborhood of the Guy home state they saw him leaving a taxicab just a short while previous to the disturbance. At that time he was clad in a leather jacket, blue pajama shirt a pair of pants, no socks and bedroom slippers.
Mrs. Peggy Guy is the second wife of young Guy. Mrs. Margaret George Guy, the first wife, is deceased.

ROSENWALD FUND MAKES REPORT
CHICAGO (ANP)—Report for the past year of the Julius Rosenwald Fund just issued by Edwin R. Embree, president, shows expenditures for the year of just under one million dollars, the exact figures being $956,069, of this total, $426,774 went into payment of principle and interest on bank loan and other fiscal obligations, the remaining $529,295 represents gifts to various aspects of the Fund's philanthropic work.
The chief donations were to race relations throughout the world with special emphasis upon Negro education and welfare in the United States and to a special program of pay clinics, health insurance, and other efforts towards a better distribution of medical services to persons of moderate means.
Making New Study of Southern Education
The Rosenwald Fund is best known for its extensive program of school house building for Negroes, through which it has co-operated with 883 counties in 15 southern states in the building of a total of 5,357 rural schools for Negroes, which have become a part of the regular public school systems of these communities. This year, the Fund is turning its attention from buildings to the educational programs within the schools, with a view of trying to find out what is desirable and possible in a rural school system for any race. The Fund has appointed fourteen young people to spend the year in schools both white and colored in the southern states. A council of educators and officials is guiding the work. At the end of one of two years of careful exploration, the Fund hopes to have important findings that may result in reorganization of school procedures in rural communities.
Demonstrating Rural Libraries
The Rosenwald Fund, with the co-operation of the Carpegie Corporation, is making demonstrations in nine southern counties of county-wide library service through the use of book trucks and branch libraries, and other facilities for getting books widely used in rural counties. As a part of the library program, the Fund has helped in the building-up of small working libraries in 1,300 schools.
Surveys Primitive Peoples
In the general field of race relations, the Fund has made studies of primitive peoples under the domination of western industrial nations and has issued reports on conditions with special reference to schools in American Samoa and the Dutch East Indies. A study of the schools of Mexico is now being made for the Fund by Mr. Frank Tannerbaum.

CHICAGO.—A drive for $12,000 to erect a bronze statue of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, poet, next summer in Washington park, here, will be initiated this week by the Dunbar Monument Association, of which Dr. George W. Price, white, is president. Every colored organization in the United States will be invited to contribute funds for the memorial. Benefit programs will be held on February 9, the date on which the poet died in 1906, if the $12,000 has not been reached by then. Richard B. Harrison of the "Green Pastures" cast is among prominent colored Chicago professional and business persons who will help direct the campaign in a nonofficial capacity.
Dunbar rose from an elevator boy to the place where his poetry won the attention of millions of readers. He published 12 volumes of poetry, three novels and five collections of short stories. Critics recognize his poetry as his most enduring work.

SOUTHERN WHITES LEARN NEGROES ARE LOYAL
Atlanta Survey Proves Colored People to be Foes of Communism
ATLANTA, Ga.—The widespread belief that Negroes, usually the most gullible racial group of this country, were generally in accord with communistic activities, was given a severe jolt following a survey conducted recently in this city. A report from representatives of the Inter-racial Committee, delegated by the Atlanta Christian Council and the Committee on Church Co-operation, showed the colored race as being "Communism's foes."
The committee said it desired to reassure the public relative to "fear of Communist influence among the colored people" of this city.
May Be Few Radicals
It stated that there is a possibility that "a few may have been compromised by designing propagandists operating under false pretenses" and suggested in such cases that patient correction is needed instead of "extreme severity." "Our committee, of course, individually and collectively," said a committee statement, "is unalterably opposed to the revolutionary philosophy of Communism, which advocates governmental changes by violent means and seeks to embitter certain elements of the citizenship against our democratic institutions and officials.
Negroes Win Confidence
We stand pledged to us our utmost influence against all such teachings and efforts; and in this stand, we confidently believe we are supported by the great majority of Atlanta's colored people." The statement records the loyalty of American colored population to the Government as a "matter of history." "Revolutionary movements have never appealed to them," it said. "In our judgment the present situation is no exception. We wish, therefore, to bespeak for the colored people of Atlanta the continued confidence, friendship and helpfulness of our officials and the public."

For all Thy mercies sure;
Thy tender love environs us
And will through life endure.
Teach us to know Thy perfect will
And truly humble be;
May we in gladness praise Thy name
Through all eternity.
Lord God of Hosts, we offer thanks
And call upon Thy name;
A psalm of praise to Thee we sing,
Thy wondrous love proclaim.
Thou art our refuge and our strength
There is no other power;
If sudden danger threatens us,
We find in Thee a tower.
Lord God of Hosts, we proffer praise,
Direct us on our way;
With grateful hearts we worship Thee

The Passing of DePriest
With the passing of Oscar DePriest from the Halls of Congress the Negro race loses one of its most colorful political figures. Regardless of Mr. DePriest's policies he did the best he could under the circumstances. He fought Jim-crow, segregation and other ills heaped on the Negro by America. Besides, he not only had to represent his district in Chicago, the entire Negro race of 12 million looked to him as their congressman and representative, and regardless of the state or location, he was called on to do many things impossible, and no doubt he was expected to do the impossible in many instances.
Arthur W. Mitchell, of course, is a different type, but he, too, will not find his job here a bed of roses. Even we here in the voteless District look to our lone representative for a remedy for many of the segregated policies in the Capital. It will certainly not do Mr. DePriest any harm nor Mr. Mitchell any good by a policy of mud-slinging at each other. There is too much work to be done and too much at stake.
Creating Disrespect for Law
An incident in the 900 block of U Street Tuesday morning is just one of many that not only bring about ill feeling against the Metropolitan Police Department, but is the indirect cause of race hatred and disrespect for the law. Two white policemen deliberately violated the law by making a U turn in the street while signs are posted about in the block warning against this violation. By the police breaking the law a machine following the police car almost crashed into the rear end of the car in which the officers were riding.
Despite the fact that they were lawbreakers, one of the officers in the car, stopped the machine across the street, held up traffic, and proceeded to "bawl out" two men who were in the second machine. The men knew that it was useless to say anything because the officers would have made a scene in the street, arrested the men and placed all sorts of charges against them. The two civilians kept their heads well and after stopping to permit the police to continue making the U turn they went on their way. Major Brown's office was advised of the incident.
It's just such every-day occurrences as this that create a disrespect for police. There are some conscientious officers on the force who do not stoop to take advantage of citizens, but their number is few. But the fact remains that the arrogant type that takes it for granted that every Negro is his lawful prey is far too many and it's this type that have no business on the police force.
Try 22 Miles on Sixth Street
District Attorney Leslie Garnett is certainly right when he states that the speed law here is far too slow. Nobody drives 22 miles an hour on most streets free of traffic.
Even the lights on Sixth Street from Florida Avenue to H Street are speeded to from 25 to 30 miles an hour. Traffic lights on Rhode Island Avenue and many other thoroughfares are nearer 30 than 22 miles an hour.
If Major Brown adheres to his law of 22 miles an hour his police certainly do not, because they are in most instances the greatest offenders in violating the speed laws.
Yes, another pathway is open to you, take it.
Political Recollections and Reflections
Political Recollections and Reflections
Politicians have no use for disfranchised citizens, whether they be the blacks in the South or whites and blacks in the District of Columbia.
Ainong my last recollections of my home town, Winnisboro, S.C., was a red shirt parade which broke up a Republican meeting in the interest of the campaign of Garfield and Arthur in the fall of 1880. These mounted knights of mischief escorted the speaker to the depot and gave him a red hot send off. A few days later I took the train for Howard University, Washington, D.C., where I arrived on the first of November. On the night of my arrival, the students were holding a bon-fire celebration of the Republican victory. Although I have never fostered political ambitions of any kind, I have always maintained an alert interest in straight, clean, manly politics, as becomes every right-minded American citizen.
In those early days politics engaged the chief energies of the Negro mind. Several of my ambitious schoolmates were hastening through school to return home and engage in politics with a view of returning to Congress. They died without fulfilment of the hope, but they were certainly on the way. The reconstruction regime had been overthrown in 1875 but there was universal hope and expectation of regaining the blissful seats from which the race had been recently cast out. The Negro vote, though intimidated, was still allowed to function at a reduced rate of speed. Just then the disfranchisement movement swept over the Browns, and by revised constitutional provision, deprived the race of the most vestige of practical power. This movement sprung up and culminated in the early and middle nineties.
THE POLITICAL CREAM OF THE RACE.
The Negro in high official life flourished for fully a decade after the overthrow of the reconstruction regime. I used to see B. K. Bruce, of Mississippi, as he moved in dignified and potential silence in and out of the United States Senate. I can recall John R. Lynch as a member of Congress from Mississippi. Robert Smalls, George W. Murray and Thomas Miller from South Carolina, John M. Langston, of Virginia, and O'Hara and George White, of North Carolina fell under my eye as duly elected and seated members of the lower House of Congress. I also remember a number of Negro contestants who failed to be seated.
A long while after the Negro had been frustrated in his ambition for elective office, he was recognized by being assigned many important appointive positions. I have known a half dozen Ministers to Hayti and as many or more to Liberia along with consular representatives by the half score. Negro Registers of Treasury, Recorders of Deeds, Auditors of the Navy and Recorders of the Land Office used to be familiar figures on the streets and in the parliars of Washington. Throughout the Southern states there were Collectors of the Post, Post masters, Receivers of Public Monies and Internal Revenue officials galore who must needs make frequent journeys to the capital city.
PAST GRANDEUR IS FORGOTTEN HISTORY.
Each presidential inauguration used to furnish a gala occasion for political celebrities, for these celebrities to meet here and boast of their official eminence, show off their fine clothes and pompous manners. These officials included the most distinguished names in the story of the Negro race. Douglass, Langston, Pinchback, Lynch, George W. Williams, J. C. Dancey, William H. Lewis, Ralph Tyler, Bishop Vernoz. J. C. Napier, Judge Robert Terrell were among those who constituted the political galaxy.
The story today reads like a chapter in forgotten history. All of these belonged to the Republican household of faith. When Grover Cleveland was elected to the Presidency in 1884 great havoc prevailed within the ranks of political Afro-Americanism. The South was swept clean, as if with a broom. Restoration of Republicanism under Harrison, Roosevelt and Taft restored the former regime only in part. Taft set the policy that fixed the fate of Negro officialdom in the South.
I can also remember the time when distinguished Negroes in the North were elected to representative positions by white votes. John P. Green, Harry Smith and George W. Williams were sent to the Legislature in Ohio on this basis. There were not enough Negro voters in any political unit to sustain them. Massachusetts, Michigan and other Northern states had a number of such representatives. But the reactionary wave that swept over the South had repercussions in the North. In these latter days, Negro representatives in the North whether in the city council, state legislature or national Congress must needs rest wholly or mainly on Negro votes.
There was a long hiatus in which the Race was all but wholly eliminated from elective positions, North and South. For fully a decade there was to be found not a single Negro in Congress, state legislature or city council. Twenty-six years spanned the gap between George W. White, the last Negro Congressman, of the old regime till the coming of DePriest on the basis of Negro suffrage in the North. The Northern migration has shifted the center of political gravity from the South to the North. There are no longer any Negro office holders in or from the South. Perry Howard was the only Southern Negro to function in the last election, and he confined his activities wholly to the North. Politicians have no use for disfranchised citizens, whether they be the blacks in the South or whites and blacks in the District of Columbia.
The recent congressional election emphasizes two important tendencies in the Negro's political history which are the most significant and far reaching of all of my political observations and recollections. First, the shift of emphasis from the South to the North, and second, the shift of Negro voters from the Republican to the Democratic Party.
The Republicans will have a long way to come from behind.
Maine must be a true pointer in national elections now as in the past.
And now the race has an ex-congressman once more—Oscar DePriest.
The Negro Republicans of Illinois, Pennsylvania and a few other states must think they have paid the debt they owned the Republi-
can Party. In some ways
WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 25, 1934
Mental Slavery By WENDELL SCOTT
There are thousands of Negroes in this southland of the United States, who are in throes of a more severe kind of slavery than during Abe Lincoln's time. It is the type of slavery which turns a man into a lesser man, something between man and beast. It is hideous to see one in the form of man, yet not a man. The greatest part of their being is crushed, stumped, controlled, enslaved. The one thing which differentiates man from beast has been crushed and enslaved by the cunning white man. That of which I speak is mental slavery.
One can stand on any one of the corners in a southern small town or village and see hundreds of Negro slaves, without the physical shackle, in the form of chains, or "overserer," go by. They can be detected by their drooped, broken bodies. Their steps are uneven and faulty. They seem to move about with indifference. They grope as if their destination is unknown. They only show speed at the approach of a white man. Sometimes they almost run into the streets and hurried effort to be out of his path. They public place the white man is accounted for same respect without a moment's thought. The part of these victims. They enslave themselves in that they see themselves as being inferior.
This mental slavery takes the shape in another form among the more "enlightened." The "Uncle Tom" stuff. When one of these Uncle Tommies is spoken to by a white man, the Negro grins with such vehemence that his five disappears in the grin. He scratches his head to answer a bit of nothingness. Regardless to what a white man says he is in perfect accord. The Negro does no independent thinking to rationalize the statements, he just swallows them and grins. Some of our "leading" Negroes down this way are given to this Uncle Tommery to curry some certain favor.
RELIGIQUS GUSTO IS RAMPANT.
Let us go behind the scene and try to find a motivating germ for the inferiority complex. There are many islands along the rough [coast along the rough] coast near Savannah. The inhabitants of these islands are largely Negroes. There are many old Negroes on these islands who could give one valuable information concerning slavery. In fact, their mode of living has not changed to any extent. In speaking to these old livers about religion, they would reply boastingly, and with all the assurance and confidence possible: "I know I've got religion. I know I've been converted. I know dat I've been redeemed." On questioning more closely to find why they are so confident they would reveal a startling revelation.
Their method of seeking religion is to go off into the distant woods alone, at some wee hour in the morning. They have a definite place to go every time; say a particular tree, or tree stump. They call this particular spot their "praying ground." Without going into details, these folks continue at this until some revelation is brought to bear. They pray for some sign to be shown them. This sign must come before they are considered converted. It comes to nine out of ten in a dream. They would unfold a harrowing experience in a dream.
RELIGIOUS FAITH BASED ON WHITE
All these dreams have uniformity. Everyone agree in one thing: White triumphing over black. Some of the dreams run as follows: The candidate riding an ill tempered black horse with difficulty. He or she, changes to a white horse and rides on safely. Another; A white bird is conveying a message to the candidate. A black bird tries to intercept. A struggle. The white bird triumphs and delivers message. Still another; the candidate being chained in some hideous pit and a white man comes up and sets him free. And another the candidates is going down a "big, broad road" in a group of other Negroes. A white man calls this candidate aside from the group. Just as soon as he, or she, leaves this group, a hole opens up in the middle of the road and swallows the group. The candidate is saved.
These dreams are gold metal certificates. The candidates are admitted without further ado, in the face ofone of these, or similar "experiences." They are the pass words. They have been handed down to the Negroes by their "exalted rulers." In this pass word we find the secret, the hidden key, to the whole mystery. It is the light to a darkened situation.
A yoke has been placed on these Negroes' necks. This yoke has passed from one generation unto another. This yoke is the teaching of the white man's supremacy. He taught these Negroes, in a painful manner, that he is the biggest thing possible. Not only were the Negroes taught this; the Negroes believed it. Not only do or did they believe; it has its effect. These thousands of Negroes are groping in darkness and seeing things through a slave's eyes.
This group of Negroes of which this writer speaks have infinite confidence in a white man. Whatever he says is law. He is second only to the Bible. To try to shake some of these folks from their views, is like trying to bail an ocean dry with a fork. They would call a white man in for consultation and advice in matters before they would another Negro. Having such a view as this places them in a precarious position. They are easy marks to be gipped. There is a case in the courts, in these parts, today, wherein a white man gipped a Negro out of a large sum of money. It is being pushed from court to court.

"Mother," the film based upon Gorki's novel, is now being shown at the Little Theatre in Newark, N.J. Originally entitled "1905," this film tells the story of a century of sacrifice in which was prophesied the dawn of 1917. In presenting "Mother," the Newark Little Theatre hopes to establish itself permanently for the showing of Soviet and foreign pictures of the better type. Many of us of Washington would appreciate seeing such pictures. The showings could constitute midnight attractions which would add a little zest to Washington's night lift. "Petersburg Nights," a Russian talkie is another picture that could be shown in the series.
"The Hilltop," published weekly by the students of Howard University has made its appearance with a Washington youth, Ulysses G. Lee, Jr., as its editor-in-chief. Others on the staff are:
Rosalind W. Butcher, Kenneth Clark, Victor Lawson, Gilbert Bannfield, Thomas Jervay, Milton Bright, Elsye Brown, Marion Martin, John Butcher, Lee Bridges, George Lawrence, Jane Watson, James Mitchell, Nora Rasy, Evelyn Brandon, Mildred Rowland, Daisy Booker, Verna Dozier, Fred Piper, Mervin Parker, Marian Anderson, Gertrude Whittaker, and Phillip Randall.
N. A.A. C. P. Investigator Tells Graphic Story Of Brutal Lynching of Young Negro
Unbelievable, ghastly, grisly, nauseating bestiality, probable unequalled in all the history of lynching accompanied the murder of Claude Neal by a mob at Marianna, Fla. on October 26, it was revealed today by a report in the hands of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
An alleged secret interracial romance between the victim of the mob and Lola Cannidy, the white girl he is accused of murdering, also stands revealed as the direct cause off the lynching.
Determined to secure the "inside" of the Marianna affair, the N.A.A.C.P. employed a young southern white man who is "right" on the race question to go to Marianna and make an investigation before the situation cooled down. The N.A.A.C.P. is appealing for funds to print his entire report, a document of 5,000 words, so that it can be distributed to aid in the fight against lynching.
Charge Romance Led to Murder
The report deals with an alleged romance between Neal and Miss Cannidy in the following words:
romance between Neal and Miss Cannidy in the following words: "Claude Neal and Lola Cannidy hal always lived in the same neighborhood. Mrs. Smith's home, Neal's mother, was just across the road from the Cannidy home. Neal had played with the Cannidy children and when he was large enough to work, worked on the Cannidy farm. For some months, possibly for a period of years, Claude Neal and Lola Cannidy had been having intimate relations with each other. The nature of their relationship was common knowledge in the Negro community. Some of his friends had advised him of the danger of the relationship and had asked him not to continue it. Miss Cannidy, it seems, desired to break the relationship existing between herself and Neal and that the fatal meeting for the purpose of arriving at some understanding. At the meeting in the woods Miss Cannidy told Neal that she did not want him to speak to her again and that if he did $s_0$ that she would tell the white men in the community on him. (Should Miss Cannidy have 'told on him' it would have meant certain death.) When she told Neal that she wanted to "quit" and further threatened to 'tell on him' he 'got mad' and killed her. Neal later told a friend what had happened. Neal is reported to have told the friend, 'When she said she didn't want me to speak to her and then told me that she'd tell the white men on me, I just got mad and killed her.'
Mob Chased Him 210 Miles
Neal was arrested for the murder on October 19 and a confession' was said to have been wring from him during "private questioning" in a clump of woods, Sheriff W. F. Chambliss, aware of the lynching spirit, ordered Neal taken to Chipley, Fla., 20 miles away. Angry Chipley crowds caused the sheriff there to order Neal moved to Panama City. From there he was taken by boat to Pensacola. From Pensacola Neal was taken across the state line to Brewton, Ala. Brewton is 210 miles from Marianna. The investigator charges the removal from Pensacola to Brewton was equivalent to lynching Neal. He said the prisoner should have been kept in Pensacola or moved to Mobile.
The investigator was informed that a prominent business man of Marianna had arranged with friends in Pensacola to inform him when Neal was removed from that city. As soon as it was learned Neal was in the little town of Brewton, thirty automobiles set out from Florida and took Neal from the Brewton jail early on the morning of October 26.
Press Stirred Mob to Frenzy
No little credit for the stirring up of mob frenzy must go to the Marianna Daily Times-Courier which printed stories under the following headlines:
YOU CAN'T KNOW HOW IT HURTS UNLESS THIS HAPENS TO YOU, STATES' FATHER OF YOUNG GIRL.
I WISH EVERY RESIDENT OF JACKSON COUNTY COULD See THE BODY OF LOLA, SAYS SISTER OF SLAIN GIRL.
The father's statement contained the sentence: "When I get my hands on that nigger there isn't any telling what I'll do." The sissier's statement contained the sentence: "Whoever killed her—well I don't believe any form of punishment could fit the crime."
Torture of Middle Ages
With their screaming prisoner in the first car, the caravan of cars streaked to Marianna over highway No. 231. When they arrived they found their newspaper announcement and a radio broadcast from a Dothan, Ala. station, was bringing crowds from all over the South. "A committee" decided to take Neal to the woods and torture him, meanwhile announcing that he would not be killed until the crowd grew smaller. They were afraid someone "would get hurt in the crush."
The Middle Ages, renowned in history for barbaric torture can show few cases more cruel and ghastly and none as nauseating as the torturing and lynching of Neal in Florida in 1334.
An eye-witness told the N.A.A.A.C.P. investigator that parts of Neal's body were cut off and he was made to eat them.
"Then they aliced his sides and stomach with knives and every now and then somebody would cut off a finger or toe. Red hot irons were used on the niggar to burn him from top to bottom." From time to time during the torture a rope would be tied around Neal's neck and he was pulled up over a limb and held there until he almost choked to death when he would be let down and the torture begun all over again. After several hours of this unspeakable torture, "they decided just to kill him."
Children Use Sharpened Sticks
"Neal's body was tied to a rope on the rear of an automobile and dragged over the highway to the Cannidy home. Here a mob estimated to number somewhere be-
tween 3,000 and 7,000 from eleven southern states were excitedly waiting his arrival. When the car which was dragging Neal's body came in front of the Cannidy home, a man who was riding the rear bumper cut the rope.
"A woman, came out of the Cannidy house and drove a butcher knife through his heart. Then the crowd came by and some kicked him and some drove their cars over him.
came to witness the lynching. It is reported from reliable sources that the little children, some of them mere tots, who lived in the Greenwood neighborhood, waited with sharpened sticks for the return of Neil's body and that when it rolled in the dust on the road that awful night these little children drove their weapons deep into the flesh of the dead man."
Sharp Fight for Jobs
According to the N.A.A.C.P. investigator, the underlying cause of the lynching is the sharp competition between whites and blacks for jobs. The Negro population of Jackson county is between 40 and 45 per cent and of the town of Marianna between 35 and 40 per cent. Since the depression, white employers who hire Negroes are frowned upon in the community and sometimes their business boycotted. Many "Negro jobs" have been taken over by whites. Negro porters in stores are paid $4 to $6 weekly; good pay for domestic servants is $2.25 a week with $2.50
This Week BY HAROLD G. EATON
"Africa and her People" was H. G. Moore's travel topic which was sponsored by the Washington Post at the Masonic Temple, 18th and N. Y. Ave., Northwest, last Monday night week. 'Alluring and elusive to white men since the dawn of time,' says Mr. H. G. EATON Moore. "Africa today remains a fascinating and incomprehensible Continent."
H. G. EATON
H. G. EATON Moore. "Africa today remains a fascinating and incomprehensible Continent."
To the Negro, Mr. Moore's talk was far from being a complimentary one. Though it was an interesting one in one sense, one bent on increasing his knowledge on the facts of his brother of the dark jungles was much disappointed for the whole talk along with the slides and moving pictures centered around the accomplishments of the white man in Africa. After considering the facts presented in the discourse of the speakers, one was led to draw up in his mind a more suitable subject. When I had summerized the talk and digested the rather dirty insinuations made by the lecturer in reference to dark shinned people. I arrived at the conclusion that the title "Africa and her Robbers" would be more like it.
Africa, the God-given home of the black man and richest Continent in the world, is no longer a dark unexplored jungle. Where a few generations ago the savage and wild beast roamed freely the white man's law and superiority complex now has firmly established itself. While the Negro made himself contented with the small cuts of the pie. (Liberia for instance) the white nations helped themselves to the larger and more delicious pieces.
Great Britian with her vast empire looks to the blue soil of Africa for her diamonds and gold to substantiate the monetary structure of the kingdom. She ob-aid 12sou pus 13sou13sou aq1 paumucious stones from the soil of Africa to make up the royal jewelry box. She claims that in return for this vast wealth, the morals and living conditions of the natives have been uplifted through her explorers and teachers, particularly Rhodes and Livingstone. But what a price the gods of greed have imposed upon the natives. The Christianity that Livingstone preached to the savages only induced them to bow to the iron rule of England.
Self-government is limited. It is proper as long as it does not judge the deeds of white men. Last year the World and the American Negro got a good idea of the situation of the tribes on self-government, Tshekedi, head of the Bamangwat tribe in Bechnaland was suspended by the king of England in October 1938 because he flogged one Phineas Mackintosh, a white man. But after much controversy he was reinstated with a warning to this affect: From now on don't you dare punish a white man. Your laws are for black men only. We're law makers for you but never you for us"

Nothing is so uncertain as the minds of the multitude.
Arthur W. Mitchell, Attorney of Alabama, Washington, and Illinois, who was recently elected to Congress to suplant Oscar DePriest, will probably agree with the writer of the above statement. The writer of this column who during the course of a day's work handles approximately 400 newspapers has read editorials, articles and special features deflecting Congressman-elect Mitchell as everything from "A White folks' Uncle Tom Alabama 'nigger'" to the new leaders of the Negro intelligentsia of the United States. One Southern daily said editorially:
"Congressman-designate Mitchell, Negro Democrat, Chicago, who defeated Oscar DePriest, will not contend for the privilege of eating in the House Restaurant. Times and conditions being what they are, he is willing to take pot luck with the waiters back in the kitchen."

"Underneath an affable, friendly exterior, he carries an iron heart. It is probable that he will lack some of the color which characterized Mr. DePriest, but whatever courses of action he chooses to follow will be seasoned with wisdom and when he has made up his mind that he is right, he will be immovable by either force or flattery. He will show his smile before he shows his fast, but when he strikes he will strike hard."
Then we have the Jackson, Miss. Daily News coming forward with this startling statement:
"Up in Illinois, even in Chicago, they decided that a negro Democrat is better than a negro Republican. Oscar DePriest will no longer strut his stuff in the halls of Congress. He will be succeeded by Arthur Mitchell, Democrat, who is aptly described as "a white man's nigger."
The writer believes that Mr. Mitchell, in view of the friendly and sympathetic attitude of the President and the New Deal administration toward the common man, will—as a Democrat—have a fine opportunity to interpret to the administration the economic needs of the colored people, and will undoubtedly get a ready hearing to present any matters affecting the welfare of our people. As a warm supporter of the New Deal and the philosophy underlying it, he will obtain benefits for our group which his predecessor, on many occasions openly hostile to the Administration, could not obtain. All in all the political emancipation of the Negro, with all the benefits which may accure therefrom, starts with the election of Arthur W. Mitchell, a Negro Democrat to Congress.
No personality in this column and no subject written here, to date, has brought to my desk so many letters as last week's column on the recent Congressman-elect from Chicago. The gist of the questions received by me is: please give in your column the high-lights of Mitchell's platform.
I have before me Mitchell's platform of eight planks and all seem important to me although numbers four and five will doubtless be of greatest interest to Federal employees of color.
The platform upon which Arthur W. Mitchell, Congressman-elect from Illinois, made his successful campaign follows:
SPECIFIC THINGS RACIAL for WHICH I SHALL STAND and WORK:
"The most dangerous element in our country today is that of enforced idleness, brought about largely by the cessation of work. I shall be in favor of any program which tends to furnish work for the people, even though such program incurs governmental expense, thus increasing taxation. I believe that idleness is a breeder of crime, which threatens the destruction not only of our institutions, but of the government itself. And no monetary price to wipe out idleness and bring back prosperity is too great.
"2. I am in favor of wiping out racial discriminations, which serve only one purpose, to breed hatred, prejudice, and injustice, thus making it impossible to prosper in the largest sense.
"3. I believe that the Colored American Citizens should continue to enjoy the same wholesome benefits to be derived from the higher standards of living, increased wages, and better housing conditions in the national program, that are enjoyed by other racial groups.
"4. I believe that discriminations in governmental departments and in Civil Service departments in Washington should be eliminated. I shall work to eliminate the practice of our Civil Service Commission requiring applicants to submit their photographs with their applications and shall advocate the fingerprint system instead.
"5. I believe that the Colored People should have their just propositions of the jobs and positions created under the emergency acts through which our New Deal is being put forth.
"6. I shall work incessantly to have the Congress pass an antllynching bill such as was introduced in last Congress.
"7. I shall work to reenfranchise the colored people of the South and to wipe out all racial discriminations in voting privileges of the citizens of the South.
"8. I believe in making America first. This seems to be a national slogan, but it means nothing in our national life if we refuse or fail to make American Citizens first. I contend that in the matter of employment whether in public or private enterprises and businesses, those born under our flag and those who have sworn allegiance to our flag should have preference. No American citizen who wishes to work should be forced to remain idle while a citizen of some foreign country is given work which an American could do and wishes to do. Any other course on the part of our citizens in business shows the basest kind of hypocrisy."
Then we have the Jackson, Miss. Daily News coming forward with this startling statement:
"Up in Illinois, even in Chicago, they decided that a negro Democrat is better than a negro Republican. Oscar DePriest will no longer strut his stuff in the halls of Congress. He will be succeeded by Arthur Mitchell. Democrat, who is antyly described as "a white man's nigger."

As a warm supporter of the New Deal and the philosophy underlying it, he will obtain benefits for our group which his predecessor, on many occasions openly hostile to the Administration, could not obtain. All in all the political emancipation of the Negro, with all the benefits which may accure therefrom, starts with the election of Arthur W. Mitchell, a Negro Democrat to Congress.
No personality in this column and no subject written here, to date, has brought to my desk so many letters as last week's column on the recent Congressman-elect from Chicago. The gist of the questions received by me is: please give in your column the high-lights of Mitchell's platform.
I have before me Mitchell's platform of eight planks and all seem important to me although numbers four and five will doubtless be of greatest interest to Federal employees of color.
The plaform upon which Arthur W. Mitchell, Congressman-elect from Illinois, made his successful campaign follows:
SPECIFIC THINGS RACIAL for WHICH I SHALL STAND and WORK:
"The most dangerous element in our country today is that of enforced idleness, brought about largely by the cessation of work. I shall be in favor of any program which tends to furnish work for the people, even though such program incurs governmental expense, thus increasing taxation. I believe that idleness is a breeder of crime, which threatens the destruction not only of our institutions, but of the government itself. And no monetary price to wipe out idleness and bring back prosperity is too great.
"2. I am in favor of wiping out racial discriminations, which serve only one purpose, to breed hatred, prejudice, and injustice, thus making it impossible to prosper in the largest sense.
"3. I believe that the Colored American Citizens should continue to enjoy the same wholesome benefits to be derived from the higher standards of living, increased wages, and better housing conditions in the national program, that are enjoyed by other racial groups.
"4. I believe that discriminations in governmental departments and in Civil Service departments in Washington should be eliminated. I shall work to eliminate the practice of our Civil Service Commission requiring applicants to submit their photographs with their applications and shall advocate the fingerprint system instead.
"5. I believe that the Colored People should have their just propositions of the jobs and positions created under the emergency acts through which our New Deal is being put forth."
"6. I shall work incessantly to have the Congress pass an amel- lynching bill such as was introduced in last Congress.
"7. I shall work to reenfranchise the colored people of the South and to wipe out all racial discriminations in voting privileges of the citizens of the South.
"8. I believe in making America first. This seems to be a national slogan, but it means nothing in our national life if we refuse or fail to make American Citizens first. I contend that in the matter of em-ployment whether in public or private enterprises and businesses, those born under our flag and those who have sworn allegiance to our flag should have preference. No American citizen who wishes to work should be forced to remain idle while a citizen of some foreign country is given work which an American could do and wishes to do. Any other course on the part of our citizens in business shows the basest kind of hypocrisy."
So much for Mr. Mitchell, at this time
Because of the writer's worship of President Roosevelt, oft expressed satisfaction of the vast improvement of his present Government job under the New Deal in contrast to his work conditions under the G.O.P. (Greedy Old Pirates) and a somewhat pro New Deal leaning of this column; some of my readers have the very erroneous impression that I am some sort of "Advisor" to somebody or other or through political connection I can with impunity "expose" all of the manifestations of prejudice in Government departments. Such is not the case. I am simply an under paid, under-clerk whose connection with the Democratic National Committee stops with applications for employment and endorsements in their files.

I would, however, like to feel ere this column is changed to one of personal opinion, that a goodly percentage of underprivileged government employees who read this column would contact these men or the institution which they represent in order that they may profit

My desk is full of letters asking me to publicize the jim-crow restaurants at the various departments, or the flagrant racial discrimination on public tennis courts or separate lavatories and the like.
Recently, correspondents are writing to ask me if I knew that there is a great deal of obvious prejudice in the administration of governmental affairs under the New Deal.
There is undoubtedly prejudice in the administration of governmental affairs because the administration is in the hands of people, and people unfortunately still have prejudices. But I contend, and have always contended since my appointment as a temporary substitute laborer six years ago, that some of our difficulties arise not from the prejudice of the other fellow as from ignorance, indifference, jealousy, and procrastination on our part. I may be wrong.

Next week, I will celebrate my first anniversary as a feature columnist for the WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. I have asked, possibly, my best friend and, admittedly, one of my severest critics to conduct the column for me next week. Mr. William Moore Steen, of the Historical Advisor's Office of the State Department, is the friend referred to in the previous sentences. I feel sure that he will bring you something of interest.

Social activities last week were far below par due to the extensive preparations that are being made for Thanksgiving week.
As early as Sunday, guests and visitors will begin to arrive and from all indications by Wednesday the city will be teeming with pleasure seekers.
Washingtonians will welcome this bit of enjoyment since social activities have been so scarce this fall. They will welcome the opportunity of meeting their friends from far and near and renewing acquaintances.
Last week, Duke Ellington and his aggregation were in town playing at a downtown theatre. Many private parties were staged after the show for this popular group of artists. They are expected in the city again very soon to fill an engagement at the Howard Theatre.
The Odd Card Whist Club held its meeting at the residence of custodian, Goslie Brown, 1604 Fifth Street, last week. Many surprises happened. The team of Vaughn and Clarke which has held first place for many months was displaced by the spurred rush of the teams of Conway and Frye. A lead of 29 points was overcome by Conway and Frye. Another upset was registered when the team of Baker and Olfus took third place from the team of Arthur and Brown.

The Brainerd Institute Jr. College alumni of Washington, D.C. under the guidance of Attorney W. I. Blake, its president, has been doing some very effective work for Brainerd Institute, a co-educational school located in Chester, South Carolina. Brainerd Institute was affected along with many other schools on account of the depression. Hence the usual appropriation for the school has been reduced, and in order that Brainerd, one of the oldest schools in the South for our group, might remain open its was essential that a certain sum be raised to augment the allotment allocated by the Educational Board of the Presbyterian connection.
The Washington alumni sent the sum of $50 in September. On Friday night, November 16th, the alumni gave a popularity contest at the home of the Women's Federation National Headquarters, 1114 O Street, Northwest, Washington, D. C., which was very largely attended.
The person among the ladies of the alumni selling the greatest number of tickets, was crowned Miss Brainerd; the lucky person, however, was Mrs. A. Geneve Henry Perry, class of 1917. She was crowned by Mrs. Taylor, the secretary of the club.
The hall was artistically decorated with Brainerd colors and every member was wearing the colors of the school. Besides the crowning of Miss Brainerd, there were games, refreshments and a short program consisting of remarks by W. I. Blake, the president; a solo by Miss Baxter; recitation by Mrs. Geneve Henry Perry. In fact we had a good old Brainerd time.
We hope that more alumni clubs may be organized throughout the United States in order that we may keep in touch with our alma mater.
Frank Webb, of Chicago, Ill., who has been visiting in New York City, Atlantic City and other eastern points stopped over in the city for a few days this week en route home.

Seen at an affair featuring vocal and instrumental music the other evening were Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Dockings, of Wallach Place. One thing about those Dockings, they're an orchestra all by themselves. And often in the homes of smart hostesses you can hear Mrs. Dockings, the former Edna Gordon, singing sweetly away to her own tuneful accompaniment.
If you run across handsome Albert Beverly, jolly Walkah Place gentleman, looking ever so all-alone and everything, it's because the lovely Marcela (that's Mrs. Beverly) is sojourning for a week or so at Carson's Hospital.
How about those Community Chest workers? Take Mrs. E. L. Kenney, 1457 S Street, Northwest, for instance. When she rapped at your door, smartly attired in blue and in the sincerest sort of a manner, smilingly asked, "Have you made your pledge," you could hardly help being sorry that you had already promised your dime and that you didn't have a million to give so she could smile some more.
Really shouldn't mention this because some of you big, bold masculine "Dears" might deliberately begin a flirtation with the undertaker (‘twould be terrible too, if you happened to fall for him in a shroud-y and grave-y sort of way) just to get a week or so in a certain hospital. You see one of D.C.'s prettiest, Miss Miriam Lucas, daughter of the well-known widower, James Lucas, a principal in the City's school system, has "gone and got" herself all white-capped, white-aproned and everything and with a thermometer in her hand and an oh-I'm sure you're-better-today look in her eyes, is now sweetly saying "Open your mouth, please" at Carson's Sanitarium.
There have been rain-falls, snow-falls (fish-falls and frog-falls, too so they say) and back in Bible times even grasshopper showers (well maybe they were locusts, one guess is as good as another and you probably haven't read that particular chapter either or even picked up the grand old Book for that matter, for a month or so, and both of us ought to be—you fill the blank. I haven't got the nerve). But back to the rain-falls, snow-falls and so forth. Last Friday evening a regular cloudburst "fell" upon the new Mrs. "Curley" Marshall. The sweet young bride, the former Ella Featherstone was totally unaware of the approaching "Storm" and almost before she knew what was happening, there had been swept all around and about her ever so many things dear to the heart of a bride—table and household linen, silverware and even a waffle iron. (Here's hoping Mrs. Marshall knows how to turn out waffles instead of "weather-ettes.") Among the merry people present when the disaster (?) occurred at the home of the bride's mother, 125 V Street, Northwest, were Misses Valerie Kendrick, Adelaide Letcher, Elenore Hackett and the former Jean Wilkins. Mrs. Francis.
Now that it's Holiday-time, most of us are worrying about what to wear where. But that is not the problem that is perplexing lovely, Miss Stella Skinker of Adams Street. With her the question is, "to be or not to be"—bobbed hairied. It does seem a shame to use the scissors on such pretty, smooth black tresses. But they'll grow out agin, of course. Then too, with or without her braids, there's absolutely only one way for the charming Stella to look and that's 90 per cent better than plain O.K.
Just see what habit will do. A group of Washington women have been ever so graciously giving you the glad hand as you enter a certain prominent church. And now they've been playing the "welcome" game so long, and getting such a thrill out of it they they are taking that "welcome" stunt right over to the Mrs. Melissa Roy, of 417 U Street, next Sunday afternoon, at 4 p.m. Everybody knows the "Roys." Some years ago when it was being hinted about that those two would soon be saying "I do," friends of the couple began to sing, "Lucky Melissa Girl." They knew, among other things, that when Melissa wanted a chaisel lounge here or a cute end table, or something else somewhere else she wouldn't have to hastle to Hecht's or Mayers' or even Lansburgh Bros. She'd simply call for Percy (That's Mr. Roy). And what would that Roy man do but grab a bag of tools, open a wee bit wider his calculating eyes, scratch his head (he'd done a deal of scratching in his day as you can quickly see the moment he takes off his hat). It's becoming though and rather dignifying—not the scratching but the effect of it. (They do say too, that extraordinary brains aided the scratching in its deadly work). Be that as it may, in less time than you'd think he could do it, the efficient Mr. Roy would have a bright new adoring a cor-
ner and a cute little next to the wall. And so, when those warmhearted Roys, throw open their doors next Sunday afternoon, those lucky enough to be invited will not only have a chance to observe Percy's handiwork, but they will find out just how interesting and entertaining the "welcome" of "Lucky Melissa" and the other "welcomers" can be. Among the members of the club are: Mrs. Clarissa Chapman, Mrs. Emily Harris, Mrs. Julia Leftwich, Mrs. Marie Mosey, Mrs. Elizabeth McLaurin, Mrs. Ella Parker.
An amusing note crept into the interesting program offered by the Synthetic Male Chorus the other evening at Third Baptist Church, at Fifth and Q Streets. During the rendition of one number an infant (probably somebody's darling baby daughter noticing no feminine voices and realizing in her baby sort of way that she had a shrimp one of her own) proceeded to adore her little soprano to help swell the Synthetic chorus.
When our rushing, industrial, workaday week is over and Sunday comes to bless us with a rest, how one little breakfast makes kinsmen of us all! On clock-punching days we grab up a scrambled egg or two, a strip or so of bacon and wash them down with a couple of gulps of scalding coffee. But on Sunday when there's time to linger longer in the little breakfast nook you wish and usually get little cakes of country sausage, some golden cane or maple syrup, pancakes (Aunt Jemima style) or maybe waffles. My! My! Let others call for rolls, Parkerhouse, French or otherwise and steak or baked spiced ham; give me the aged-old combination of sausage and syrup and maybe flap-jacks. And whom do you suppose I saw in a certain store last Saturday night. No less a personage than the very popular Attorney Emory Smith. He was relieving his pretty wife of her ardous marketing duties and among the items he ordered were sausage and syrup and so forth. And so whatever else you found on the Smith's dainty table last Sunday morning as on yours and mine and millions of others, you also found that absolutely unbeatable breakfast arrangement, sausage, syrup, and pancakes or waffles.
Mrs. Virginia McGuire and Mrs. Helen Curtis (ever so high in N.A.A.C.P. circles) are lovely ladies any way you take them, but they are simple grand when they are very, very happy. If you don't believe it, get your Thanksgiving Day breakfast engagements, your luncheons, the football game and your dinners out of the way. Start early to colophane your hair (if you have to); silver-shadow your eyes so you can talk with 'em and give your tongue a rest; tattoo your lips so that after the N.A.A.C.P. dance is over, and he has stolen a goodnight kiss, the "perfect cupid's bow" will still be there to show. Jump into that gorgeous gown you've been dying for weeks to get in; grab your own "Mr. Handsome" (if somebodyelse got hold of him first don't let that stop you; get the office boy, the hired man, one of the bright boys in your history class) and rush on over to the Colonnade. Thanksgiving night and see how happy Mrs. McGuire and Mrs. Curtis can be when they see you coming to their grand, big N.A.A.C.P. ball.

Synthis Male Chorus is Brilliant Affair
Bv PEARLIE
As you entered the stately edifice at Fifth and Q Streets, Northwest, last Friday evening you saw lovely ladies in shimmering satin and gleaming jewels. Pretty silver-ribbon-tied roses caressed their throats. They were representatives of the Christian Endeavor Society of the Third Baptist Church, under whose auspices the Synthic Male Chorus was appearing.
Long before the appointed hour arrived music-lovers from far and near gathered to pay homage to some of Washington's own. The pastor, the Rev. G. O. Bullock, was among the first to appear. Others in the crowd were Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Dockings of Wallach Street (they're an orchestra by themselves). Mrs. B. R. Taylor, George H. Cox and J. B. Hall, Now the chorus confronts you. The tall, slim pianist, Edward Worthington, was something more than a pianist, for when the chorus rendered "Cast thy Burden upon the Lord" (Mendelssohn), "Commit thy way, O Pilgrim" and one other number from Bach, the music that went with them came from the proud notes of the great pipe organ.
The handsome director, Levington Smith, seemed entirely at ease and won the audience with his warm smile of appreciation. An interesting innovation was the seating arrangement effected by the chorus during the singing of "Where're we Walk" (Handel), "Ave Marie Stella" (Grieg) and "Ave Marie" (Arcadelf).
A humorous note crept into the occasion when an infant (probably somebody's darling baby daughter, noting the absence of female voices in the chorus) decided to add her own little sweet soprano. The audience was kind though and even the genial director gave a smile in recognition of the baby's assistance.
The most ambitious number given by the singers was "The Blizzard" (Cadman) and Mr. Levington Smith prepared his audience for its variations by explaining the different movements. The number was well received, as was "Morning" (Speaks). But in the rendition of spirituals the singers' enthusiasm
was most evident. The order in which they sang them was significant too. First the singers prayed for wings in "Lord, I Want Two Wings." Then they got into the "Ark" and it started "Movering Along." By the time they left the "Ark" they saw a "Sweet Chariot Coming to Carry Them Home." Then as if to suit the action to the word (or rather the song) they crept softly away, one by one to the tune of "Steal Away" and the fading strains of the old spiritual that came back to you from "Behind the Scenes" was like the good-bye kiss of a loved one.
Famous Singer to Appear in Recital

Referring to Mr. DePriest's record, Mr. Mitchell stated: "While he has been in office, no white boys have had an opportunity to enter Annapolis or West Point, but that will be altered now.

Milk is the Building Element
That Counts in Foods
The prices of milk in Washing-
ton has been reduced so that more
people will be able to obtain this
very essential food commodity.
‘According to the Bureau of Home
‘Economies, U.S, Department of
Agriculture, most of ua do not uve
enough milk, say the nutrition spe
cialists, ‘They have been thinking
80 for some time. we a
| Now their opinion is confirmed
by the findings of the Consumers
Counsel of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, who has
collected information as to the
quantity of milk purchased by fam:
ilies with children in public schools
in 59 cities fn 46 states,
A considerable proportion of
those families bought no fresh milk
at all, The average quantity of
milk bought by all those families
was enough for about one glass
(half-pint) per person each day.
,, What we ought to have, says the
Bureau of Home Economics, is a
‘quart of milk a day for every child,
and a pint for each adult.
‘That does not mean you should
drink that much milk unless you
wish to. The milk will be just as
useful 21° if you get it in soups,
or custards, or Sauces, or gravies—
or for that matter, in cheese, where
you get it in concentrated form,
For any evoking purpose you can
use evaporated milk or dried milk
just as well as fresh fluid milk,
Probably at less cost.
There ix good reason, of course,
for all this tatk about ‘milk, espe-
cially for people who have very lit-
tle money to spend for food,
No one food in the world can
satisfy all the food needs of the
human body, but milk comes near-
est to doing it. It is most impor-
tant for ite esleium, which is bone
building material; its proteins, for
muscle building, its easily digested
fat, and some sugar for body fuel;
its vitamins A dnd G_cspecially,
though it contains other vitamins
as well.
It is not easy to get enough of
some of these substances, especial-
ly calcium, unlexs you do’ use milk.
And with ithia unique variety of
food values, milk is good buy,
even at city prices which may seem
high.
In your pint a day and your
child’s quart, you are getting more
for your money than you can buy
in any other single fool. And-t>

MISSISSIPPIAN
AIDS. MITCHELL
CHICAGO, (By Dan Burley for
AN.P,) —Sylvester Harris, the
Columbus, Miss., farmer, was in
Chicago during the last two weeks.
Mr. Harris’ bid for fame comes
through his long distance telephone
conversation with President Roose-
yelt about the farm sometime ago.
His feat vocked the nation,
Failure of professional promoters
to cash in on Mr. Harris’ talented
exploit should be remémbered as
one of 1934's prize boners.
As a Speaker He's a Genius
‘The addition of Mr. Harris as #
campaign speaker for Congressman
Elect Arthur W. Mitchell here, by
the Democratis party, must’ be re
garded as a master move to ‘be
remembered when the scribes re-
count in history, the story of 1934.
‘Mr. Harris’ voice was raised. loud
and long in praise of the President
and the Democratic party...In the
diction peculiar to. the gentry, of
‘that othe! side of the Mason-Dixon
Line, he elaborated on how his long
distance call to the White House
was successful. and -of his muyle,
his home and his fatm.
Had Nine Children
He allowed that he had nine
children, or something like that,
who were at school. So afraid was
he. Mr, Harris disclaimed to aud-
ienees at the Savey Ballroom, the
Democratic headquarters and at
Wendall Phillips high school, that
his children would ‘come home and
find him gone, that he would have
called Satan if the connection could
not have been made.
From Mr, Harris, came the true
story about the matter prompting
the call. You see the mortgage
wasn’t on Mr, Harris’ home, it was
on that of his brother. But’ Harris
was inveighed to go on the note
and when his brother defaulted,
Mr. Harris loomed into prominence
as the gentleman who would have
to pay. Hence the “hurry-up call.”
Folks Believe Him ‘Too
‘The most amazing circumstance
about Mr, Harris’ visit to Chicago—
which by the way was given out
as a trip.to see the Wofld’s Fait
and the Lake, by his Democratic
sponsor's—was that the folks flock-
ed to hear him, and a lot of them,
moved by his ‘homely philosophy,
were to some extent guided by him.
Yes, Mr. Harris to Chicago was
& master move, even though the
mule was left at home.

JAMES H. NICKENS WINS ROTC AWARD
Million Families to Be Benefitted by "Gifts" From the Government
To Receive Pershing Gold Medal from Hands of the President
The Civilian Military Education Fund, Washington, has offered for award in this, the 3rd Corps Area, to one representative R.O.T.C. student a three-day all expense visit to Washington, D.C.
The plan contemplates a visit to Washington this fall of one R.O.T.C. student from each Corps Area in the United States. While in Washington, each of the winners will be the recipient of the new Pershing Gold Medal for military merit. The President of the United States will present the medals.
All R.O.T.C. units in the 3rd Corps Area must submit an outstanding student for this contest. His photograph in uniform, together with his military record, scholiastic record, and his achievements in campus leadership, was placed in the hands of the officers of headquarters, 3rd Corps Area, November 10th.
Upon the basis of the records submitted, one principal and one alternate will be selected by that headquarters. Cadet Major James Harold Nickens has been selected by the dean of the College of Libral Arts and Captain E. A. Kimball, professor of military science and tactics, head of the military department of Howard University, to represent that institution. Major Cadet Nickens has been an outstanding R.O.T.C. student during his entire time at Howard University. When he was a sophomore he won the individual drill competition. At the R.O.T.C. summer camp last summer he was selected as the ost outstanding student in all activities. He has been one of the best shots on the university rifle team, and in camp, he qualified as a sharpshooter with the pistol, and as an expert rifleman.
His scholastic standing is excellent; he is the vice-president of the Student Council of Howard University.

ASKS ANNULMENT OF MARRIAGE 9 YEARS OLD
Mrs. Mary M. Delaney Tells Court Hubby Had Wife When He Wedded Her
Discovering after more than nine years that her husband had a living wife by a previous marriage, Mrs. Mary M. Delaney, 226 Fiftieth Street, Northeast, entered the courts late last week seeking an annulment.
Alexander L. Delaney, living at 4717 Foote Street, Northeast, was named by Attorney Augustus W. Gray, representing Mrs. Delaney, as the husband who illegally wedded his client on May 4, 1925.
In her petition, Mrs. Delaney declared that she and Mr. Delaney had lived together from the time of their marriage until June of this year. He abandoned her and their home and has not since returned according to the wife.
Upon investigation it was learned that the husband had gone through a prior marriage with a woman who was still living, and from whom he had attempted to obtain a divorce but failed. Mrs. Delaney stated that she was totally unaware of this previous marriage and of the existence of another wife. She asks no other relief except annulment of the marriage.
Tribune efforts to obtain a statement from Mr. Delaney were unavailing.
FERA GIVES LINEN SHOWER TO NEEDY
Jacob Baker, assistant administrator and director of the FERA work-relief program, reported to Administrator Harry L. Hopkins this week that 1,000,000 unemployed and needy families throughout the United States would receive mattresses, comforters, sheets, pillow cases and towels for the winter.
Many people in the rural South and other areas of the country will enjoy their first sleep on a cotton mattress with clean sheets and pillow cases.
In a little Mississippi town today, 20 Negro families on relief are the proud possessors of not only pillow slips, but sheets and mattresses too.
The nearly 100,000 colored persons on relief in Mississippi have felt the benificence of the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation which during the month of October shipped in 48,002 yards of ticking; 52,200 yards of toweling; 167,087 yards of sheeting; and 445,600 yards of printed cotton material. Four hundred colored women on work relief in the Nation's Capital, in the last two months have been real Santa Clauses to about 10,000 little boys and girls of Washington. These unemployed mothers have made shirts and dresses for their own and needy neighbors' children in FERA sewing centers. Under the supervision of Mrs. Gertrude Van Hoesen and her forewomen, the patterns are all different and the color of the goods equally assorted.
Thomas (Reds) Carroll, 80, was arrested in Baltimore Wednesday, in connection with the shooting of Vernon Colhouer, white, and the assaulting of Edward A. Sims, white, Baltimore newspaper route men last Friday, near Upper Marlboro, Md.

DEEDS RECORDER RENEWS BATTLE FOR HEALTH
Dr. William J. Thompkins Flays Local Sanitation Facilities
Dr. William J. Thomkins, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbus, just back from the western political battle front, launched vigorously into the local public health situation before the Civic National Forum Sunday afternoon at Israel C.M.E. Church.
Doctor Thompkins exposed the shameful inefficiency of the old health administration now passing out after three decades of feeble effort constituting a gross waste of public funds, pointing out the inexcusable failure of the local health authorities to exact certain health standards for food-handlers in markets, delicatessen shops, cafeterias, restaurants, and hotel dining rooms—a special problem in view of the tremendous throng lunching daily downtown; the crudely handling of the great retail milk supply; the dodo hidebound attitude toward civic interest in civic health welfare; and, finally, the gross inefficiency that permitted health conditions among the poor which yielded for the great National Capital a most disgraceful morbidity and mortality rating.
But Doctor Thompkins assured the capacity audience at Israel Church that there is in making a health "New Deal" which will prescribe inspection of food-handlers, safeguard retail milk supply, a health administration seeking civic cooperation, and an intensive preventive medical program which will be as accessible to every community as the neighborhood grocery or drug store.

Jury Holds Sam Clements on N-Street Murder Charge
A coroner's jury at the District Morgue, Tuesday, held Samuel Leroy Clements, 40, for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death of Thomas Tate, 34, 451 N Street. Northwest. Tate died at Casualty Hospital Sunday from gun shot wounds of the fourth cervical vertebra which injured the spinal cord. He was injured during an altercation with Clements the previous night at the latter's home, 633 N Street, Northwest. Police say Tate and several men, one of whom was Richard "Dirty Dick" Miller, went to Clements's place and tried to force entrance after Clements slammed the door in their faces. They again tried and Clements fired seven times, two of the bullets hitting Tate.

The funeral of Mrs. Jane Cartwright, a former member of Campbell A.M.E. Church and mother-in-law of J. H. Dale, Sr., of Philadelphia, and who died in Philadelphia, last week, was held in Campbell Church Thursday of last week.
The service was conducted by Dr. P. A. Scott, who was assisted by the Rev. J. H. Marshall, pastor of First Baptist Church. Southwest Washington, and the Rev. Frank E. Hearns, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, Alexandria. Tributes were paid Mrs. Cartwright, and her remains were laid to rest in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery.

The Capital Unit of the Community Chest Campaign, headed by Col. H. O. Atwood, reached its quota in pledges and cash Monday evening, two days before the end of the campaign, when $4,830.56 was reported or 113 per cent of the Unit quota. This showing was further improved, Tuesday, by an increase in gifts to $5,647.47, which was 131.4 per cent the quota. An interesting fact in connection with this splendid showing of the Capital Unit which is responsible for the solicitation of colored people not reached by the other major Units of the Campaign, is the collection of over 45 per cent of its goal in cash. Neither the record of per cent of quota obtained or per cent of cash quota has been equaled by any other campaign unit.
Division No. 2, headed by Mrs. Gladys M. Houston, is holding first honors having secured over 400 per cent of its quota with more than 146 per cent of its quota in cash. Division No. 3, George H. Murray, chairman, has secured 133 per cent of its quota with 82.8 per cent in cash for second place. Division No. 4, Mrs. Carrol Caroon Williston, chairman, and Division No.

One of the men complained of a bad toothache while the other opened his mouth wide to indicate that his friend was in a bad condition. While the doctor led the way to the inner office where the dental chair and his drills were, the bandits followed, and when he turned, poked a pistol into the doctor's face. The pair took $50 cash from the dentist, two rings valued at nearly $200, and a wrist watch worth $25.

Unit Chairman Atwood, announced at the meeting, Tuesday, that the Campaign organization this year, has functioned more smoothly and with higher enthusiasm than in any previous year during his connection with the Chest. The results secured, he said, seemed to indicate very definitely that the Community Chest has been accepted by the community as the sensible and business like method of financing our necessary social agencies.
The organization gave an enthusiastic vote of appreciation to Mrs. Virginia R. McGuire, Mrs. M. D. Bell, Miss Rhetta Clifford, and the young ladies associated with her for their volunteer service in preparing and serving the buffet suppers served each night during the Campaign.
The colored agencies that will benefit as the result of the Community Chest Campaign are: the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., Southwest Community House, Southeast House, Stoddard Baptist Home, St. Anna's Home, the Northwest Settlement and the Twelfth Street Branch, Y.M.C.A.

100 Vocational School Pupils' Examinations Reveal Startling Facts
Intensive Examination Is Held in Connection with Character Experiment
TERRELL JUNIOR HIGH HOLDS SIMILAR EXAM
City Physicians, Dentists Volunteer Service to Aid Teachers
Deplorable conditions were revealed in the first intensive health examination of a group of Washington public school girls just completed at Margaret Murray Washington Vocational School, First and O Streets, Northwest, in connection with the local character education experiment.
One hundred girl vocational students, from all sections of the city and ranging in age from 12 to 18, were examined by volunteer physicians and the results were as startling as those revealed over a month ago by the volunteer examination of 182 white boys at the Jefferson Junior High School. The latter examination stirred school officials to ask for an improved health program
Three Schools Involved
It also brought about the request by school officials and citizens for similar examinations at the Armstrong High School, and the Randall and Terrell Junior High Schools. The Board of Education, in its last meeting, approved the request and Garnet C. Wilkinson, First Assistant Superintendent of Schools, announced the examinations would start within a few weeks. The program has already been begun at Terrell under the direction of the physical education instructors.
Glaring Defects Shown
Of the girls examined at Margaret Murray Washington Vocational, 33 had major eye defects; 8 were suffering from serious malnutrition; 4 had sore eyes and 9 defective hearing; 15 had adenoids and 39 defective and enlarged tonsils; 17 were found to have glandular disturbances and 6 chest and lung trouble; 5 had heart trouble and 6 stomach trouble; 16 were suffering from skin diseases; 51 needed dental treatment; 6 were extreme nervous cases; 2 had rheumatism and others were recommended for further diagnosis as to bone defects and suspected social diseases.
Already action has been taken at the vocational school to see that all girls who need medical attention are given it. Some of the most severe eye cases have been referred to the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital clinic; and lung cases to the Health Department's free clinic.
Had Parents Approval
The examination had the sanction and approval of Mr. Wilkinson and Miss Bertie Backus, Assistant Superintendent in charge of the Character Education Experiment, and also parents of the students. Parents in each instance were notified and reported to have given 100 per cent co-operation. Many families are unable to afford medical attention, but teachers have urged that wherever possible, private physicians shall be consulted.
The examinations began early in October and have just been completed. Each girl was turned over to a specialist for diagnosis, if signs of serious trouble were noted in the routine examination. Charts were made and filed in each case.
Corrective Steps Taken
To secure treatment and aid, physicians, dentists and nurses were asked to volunteer their services. Among those who donated their services were Dr. Charles A. Tignor, Dr. Dorothy Boulding-Fershee, Dr. Howard M. Payne, Dr. John C. Payne, Dr. William A. Tolson, Dr. Clifford C. Fry, Dr. Leon S. Holton, Dr. James N. Walker, Dr. Ralph C. Wright, Dr. George L. Adams, Dr. W. E. Lewis, Mrs. King and Mrs. Sarah Richardson. Dr. Holton also delivered an address on health to members of the Parent-Teachers Association of the school. School tests, showing the knowledge of the pupils on health rules and general health ideas were administered to the group by Dr. Howard H. Long.
Examined at Terrell
Meanwhile an intensive health program has gotten underway at Torrell Junior High School with 260 children having been examined by volunteer service of doctors to

MEAN HUBBY DEFENDANT IN SUIT
Wife's Charges Include Misconduct, Abuse and Non-support
Continuous cruelties, numerous assaults—for one of which her husband is now on probation—infidelity, and a deliberate refusal to provide the bare necessities for life are listed among a long line of allegations included in a bill for separate support and maintenance filed late last week by Mrs. Emma K. McGant, bride of one year, living at 2207 Champlain Street, Northwest.
Arthur McGant, her husband, is named defendant in the proceedings instituted by Attorney Perry F. Howard and George E. C. Hayes, representing Mrs. McGant.
In her petition, Mrs. McGant states she and her husband were married on July 18, 1933. During the year and four months of their marriage, the wife asserts, McGant has been continuously abusive, has failed to provide for her and their infant daughter and has made her subject to numerous financial embarrassments by his indifference toward the payment of bills for home necessities.
Knocked Out Teeth
An arrest followed one of many assaults upon her, Mrs. McGant declares, and he was convicted and placed on probation. The beating administered at that time, she avers, was so vicious that she had several front teeth knocked out. The wife further charges that McGant, although earning $50 monthly as a service man at Woodley Park Towers in addition to an average of from four to five dollars daily as a "numbers" writer, "leaves only the most meagre sums each day for the care of herself and the baby." Continuing her allegations, Mrs. McGant avers, repossession of their household furniture is imminent because of his repeated refusals to comply with requests of the furniture company and herself that he make a payment on it.
Has Bank Account and Car
McGant has a bank account and owns a private automobile according to his wife's declaration. But in spite of these things, together with his earnings, he maintains an separately maintain his wife and baby. An unnamed woman, for whom he allegedly shows a preference, is given as the cause of this lack of attention to his domestic and lawful obligations. Aside from asking the court for an order compelling McGant to separately maintain his wife and child, Mrs. McGant requests the issuance of a "writ of no exeat," to keep him within the jurisdiction. Mrs. McGant tells the court that her husband has threatened to leave the city should she ever decide to bring action against him.
