XIV, No. 32 PICKETING CASE BEFORE HIGH COURT PICKETING CASE BEFORE HIGH COURT New Negro Alliance Seeks to Force Kaufman to Hire Clerks The Court of Appeals was asked Monday by Attorney Belford V. Lawson to dissolve the injunction which prohibited the New Negro Alliance from picketing the Kaufman Department Store. 1300 block of Seventh Street, Northwest. Mr. Lawson who represented the Alliance contended that the controversy was a labor dispute and the injunction should not have been granted without a trial. He also asked the court to modify the order if the ruling was decided against the Alliance. Refuses to Hire Clerks At present the injunction not only prohibits picketing, but includes newspaper articles or any other means that might bring to the attention of the public the alleged unfair attitude of Kaufman in refusing to employ colored clerks. Mr. Lawson also pointed out that as the matter is a labor despite the injunction interferes with "free speech and personal liberty and is not in consonance with the increasing recognition by courts that the field of economic conflict is one in which judicial interference is not desired except to prevent disorder, violence and unlawful acts." The Alliance began picketing the (Continued on page 3) K.P. GRAND LODGE OFFICERS OUSTED K.P. GRAND LODGE OFFICERS OUSTED NEW ORLENAS, La.

BALTIMORE, — Addressing several hundred persons at the weekly City-Wide Young People's Forum here last Friday evening, Professor Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., of Bluefield, West Virginia, educator and orator, created a distinct stir when he advised extreme caution in the use of the economic boycott of establishments in Negro sections which do not employ Negro clerks. At the conclusion of the formal address on "The New Emancipation" he was accorded an ovation by the gathering following which he answered questions for the period of a half-hour. It was during this season that he pointed out many of the dangers in the indiscriminate use of the boycott.

Mrs. Katie McRae, 38 years old, living at 918 R Street, Northwest, was bound over for a possible homicide indictment following an inquest at the D.C. Morgue Monday. Mrs. McRae is detained as the confessed slayer of her estranged husband, James McRae, 715 O Street, Northwest, during an argument in the vestibule of her home last Saturday night. Taking the stand in her own defense, after several witnesses including Second Precinct police and Headquarters detectives had described the shooting, Mrs. McRae sought to vindicate her act. She stated she had been beaten by her husband on numerous occasions and therefore lived in fear of him. Several times since their separation three years ago, she declared, he had forced his way into her home and perpetrated acts of cruelty. Hurled Lighted Lamp At Her Asked by Coroner A.

Robinson Appeals for Abandonment of Alimony Order Adding unfailfulness to the charges encouched in his cross-bill for divorce and asserting that payment of the temporary alimony awarded his wife, Mrs. Mazi Robinson, 4245 Meade Street, Northeast, placed him in an embarrassing position with his employers and creditors, Beverly G. Robinson, mail-carrier, 1754 S Street, Northwest, requested the District Supreme Court to vacate the order requiring the alimony payments, in a petition filed late this week. Robinson, a mail-carrier working out of the U Street Station, was ordered to pay $30 per month, in a decision handed down following the tiling of his wife's bill for divorce. Mrs. Robinson charged cruelty and non-support. A cross-hit, filed two days after Robinson had been served by the marshal's office, accused his wife of having deserted him and their home and of having misappropriated certain money he had given her to pay off indebtedness. RICHMOND, Va.—Phillip Jones, 25, accused of killing two white girls at Clifton Porge, Va., last month, will be tried here sometime before Christmas, authorities announced this week. Jones is being held at Henrico Jail for safe keeping after he was speeded out of Clifton Forge in fear of a mob which burned the little house he and his wife lived in. Police say Jones confessed killing the two girls. His wife and two other men are being held as material witnesses. J. Byron Hopkins, attorney for the N.A.A.C.P., has interceded in the case and may represent the defendant Rosichan Removal Would Hurt Colored Clients Is Belief The hope of colored transients for Arthur S. Rosichan, white, to retain his present post as director of the Transient Relief Bureau in the District was renewed Monday, when Commissioner George E. Allen, relief administrator, announced Rosichan would stay. The commissioner's announcement was in response to published reports that the removal of Mr. Rosichan had been recommended in a report submitted by Daniel Sands, white, transient relief director of Illinois, who had been called in to investigate management of the local bureau after complaints had been made by a Geovance Committee of Clients. Sands left for Chicago last week. Refusing to say what the report recommended. Commissioner Allen stated "It is my purpose to await conclusion of the investigation which is being carried forward by Richard Gebbah, director of transient relief in Missouri. When the final report has been made I shall study both and decide after that what shall be done about Mr Rosichan. He is now director and will continue to be until I have had time to study the reports and come to a decision." Backed by Colored Meanwhile, colored transients backed the $ _{2} $ present director, Edward Davis, in charge of the Transient Bureau at 2011 Georgia Avenue, Northwest, told the Tribune that any change in the administration might seriously effect the colored clients, Declaring that Mr. Rosichan had done much for the colored transient, Davis stated there had been no complaints from men at his station Only One Complained One man, he said, had joined the complaining committee of clients and that man was found to have been ineligible as a transient client, and later, dismissed. Mr. Davis escorted a Tribune reporter through the building. Everything seemed to be in excellent order at the bureau and hundreds of men were sitting in the transient recreation room apparently in a satisfied mood. Sleeping quarters and food facilities were also inspected and found to be well kept. Watkins Fears Change Harry Watkins, newly appointed official in charge of transient camp activities at Beltsville, Md., declared "if there is a change in the transient relief office administration, it will probably be for the worse, as far as colored transients are concerned." Watkins added that Rosichan had done as much as any one could in his office. Removal of Mr. Rosichan has been demanded by a group of white transients headed by Lewis B. Smith, white of New York. The men charged Rosichan with dealing out inferior wearing apparel, serving bad food, keeping unsanitary quarters and placing too many restrictions on the men. The trouble between the heads and the clients is alleged to have started when several hundred white transients were re-assigned to work in the municipal woodward. Half Pint Bottle Hurled in Fight at Dance Hall During a fight at Pothian Temple, easily this week, Ardella Pickett, 27, 1331 U Street, Northwest, was struck over the head with a half pint bottle. Lucille Johnson, 25, of an unknown address, threw the bottle, police say. The woman was treated at Freedmen's Hospital for scalp lacerations. "Other Woman" Broke Up Home; Wife Beaten, Chased Out Accusing her husband, Bennie Boyd, 613 Nineteenth Street, Northeast, of having beaten her and spiring their six-year-old son away from home before he, himself, deserted her, Mrs. Lucille Boyd, 309 O Street, Southwest, sued for divorce and maintenance late last week. The bill, filed last Friday, in equity branch of the District Supreme Court, requested permanent alimony and custody of the child. Married in August, 1927, at Warrenton, N. C., the Boys came to Washington shortly thereafter and established residence. The position of the wife states that they lived happily as man and wife until two years ago when Boyd became interested in another woman. This woman, known only to the wife by the first name, Margaret, became so fixed in the husband's affections that he began to grow indifferent toward his home, this indifference later turning into cruelty. 4 Hid Child According to Mrs. Boyd's further statements, her husband frequently heat her. The last of these alleged beatings, she averys, occurred last July, when after assaulting her, Boyd chased her from the house. While she was away, the child was taken from their home and secreted with friends of her husband living in the 400 block of H Street, Northwest. The plaintiff asks the court to grant her a divorce and to award her permanent alimony, sufficient to care for herself and the child. She requests the court to give her custody of the boy on the assumption that he is in need of maternal care. Boyd, according to his wife, earns $100 monthly as an employee of the Standard Oil Company. Her earnings are meagre, she stated amounting to approximately $8.00 per week, made as a domestic.

Monday. The order calls upon her husband, Howard Jackson, 1210 T. Street, Northwest, to make payments on a temporary basis until her request for a limited divorce has been heard.

The Jacksons were married in Baltimore in 1930. After three years of domestic bliss, the wife states, the husband began staying out late, at nights and "running with other women." She alleges that her mother-in-law was guilty of aiding and abetting in the illicit relationship with the co-respondent. Justice Gordon after hearing Attorney Armond W. Scott and Elwood G. Hubert, representing Mrs. Jackson, awarded the woman temporary alimony. She is employed as a marron at the Washington Airport where she declares she receives a meagre wage.

A HOMETOWN PAPER, OF, BY AND FOR WASHINGTONIANS. GOES INTO THE HOMES OF THE BUYING NEGRO PUBLIC RENC NAACP Keeps s in Congress aking Daily Examination n Houses in Interest United States for the benefit of the local branch. The Legislative Committee, William E. Taylor, chairman, has been making a daily examination of the daily calendars of both Houses of Congress, to determine what, if any legislation is proposed in which the N. A. A. C. P., as a national organization as well as a local branch, would be interested. It has carefully examined all bills and resolutions that would tend to affect the rights of colored people; has followed proceedings on pending bills which the organization opposed or favored; and has done such other acts with reference as the national or local offices have requested. Labor Disputes Act Since April of this year, 17 such bills, introduced in Congress have been examined and action taken in opposition to the Labor Disputes Act, suggesting amendments to it. The committee also presented a brief against this act, which is printed in part 3, page 997 of the Hearings. The suggested amendments were not incorporated in the substitute bill, the National Industrial Adjustment Act, but in the latter bill many of the objectionable features of the Labor Disputes Act have been eliminated. The Legislative Committee is holding itself in readiness to follow this bill urging further amendments. The George-Ellzy bill, providing Federal funds for education was replaced by House Report 9544, reported out of the House Committee on Education as Report No. 1562, and now pending on Union Calendar as No. 352. Again, the substitute bill eliminates many of the worst features of the original bill, but is yet in need of amendment if the rights of colored people are to be protected. The committee stands ready to act for the National Association in this matter. It is also following up the so-called "full crew" bill (House Bill 7489) and the Wagner-Connery Labor Disputes Bill.

HUGH GRAY Local Physician, Divorced by Mrs. Pearl Gray Marries Within Week Reports that Dr. Hugh Gray, prominent local physician, had re-married within a week after his former wife, Mrs. Pearl Gray, had been granted a divorce at Reno, Nevada, were confirmed by the doctor, late this week. Confirmation of this rumor brought out that Dr. Gray was married Monday to the former Mrs. Marietta Childs Smith, a widow. The marriage was solemnized at Arlington, Va., after which the newlyweds returned to the city and took up their residence at his home, 1517 P. Street, Northwest. The former Mrs. Gray left Washington on October 4, shortly after she was convicted of a charge of embezzlement brought against her by the Post Office Department. A trial of several days had convinced a jury in the District Supreme Court that Mrs. Gray had been guilty of converting to her own use money she had removed from dead letters during her employment as a "selector" in the Dead Letter Office of the City Post Office. Separation Follows Release After several days incarceration in the District Jail, Mrs. Gray was brought before Justice Peyton Gordon and released on probation. He declared that he believes Mrs. Gray's act to have been a mistake and felt that she had been sufficiently punished. The separation of the Grays followed almost immediately after her release. According to Dr. Gray it was mutually agreed that such a step would be the best thing for both. The decree was made final November 26. A week later Dr. Gray took his second wife. After obtaining her Reno divorce, Mrs. Gray left for Borkley, California, where she is now making her residence. MRS.

(ANP)—When William Pickens reached Pensacola, he found that the mother and aunt of Claude Neal had been put into the Pensacola jail "for safe keeping." It was rather to shut their mouths, and prevent them from "telling." They were being held, so the sheriff said, "until things died down and become quiet." He admitted that there were no charges against those women. Yet they had been held for nearly a month (without a change of clothing). All their goods and effects had been destroyed by the mob which burned down their home and threatened them with murder, after nameless insults. All because these two women were relatives of the man whom the mob had already brutally lynched. Pickens Calls Meeting William Pickens in a public address called for volunteers to form a committee to take care of these women, to take them out of felons cells, out of the hands of jailers and to "relieve the sheriff of their expenses and care." He gave the first donation to start the fund. The women of Pensacola rallied to the call, and preparations were being perfected to put the women into a local old folks' home, pending the time when they can get work and get again on their feet. Neal's mother is an old woman. The other relative is young. Women Abused These women were abused by the mob, all their goods, except the poor rags on their back, were destroyed, and then they were taken away to an unknown destination from the community at Marianna, many miles from Pensacola, so that the colored people of Marianna and Greenwood and that section were left whispering to each other trying to surmise the fate of these unfortunates. When Mr. Pickens passed through Marianna, colored women asked him in whispers: "Do you know what they did to them two women? Have they done kilt them, too?" He did not learn until he arrived in Pensacola that they were in jail there, really incommunicado. The colored citizens moved forward at once to rescue them. Slashes Man's Chin With Razor; Held Under Bond Accused of assaulting John Hall with a razor during an altercation Sunday, Harry Clay was held for the grand jury when arraigned before Judge Ralph Givens in police court Monday morning. Judge Givens set bond at $1,000. Nine stitches were required to close the wound Clay allegedly inflicted in Hall's chin. Thirteen California Parents Arrested by Jim-Crowers Separate Schools for Negroes and Mexicans Cause Resentment; Movement Made in Spite of State Civil Rights Law LOS ANGELES, Calif., (By Loren Miller for A. N. P.) — Monrovia, California, is distinctly a provincial town. Located only a few miles from Los Angeles, it has a very small Negro population but prejudice is rife as it is attested by signs in cafes and restaurants which inform the public that only white patronage is solicited. All this is open defiance of California's civil rights statute. Monrovia crowned its infamy a few weeks ago when it resorted to arrest of protesting Negroes to force them to send their children to a school called a "fire hazard" and "unsafe" by a state architect. The school is the Huntington Drive School built in 1907. It is a brick, two-story structure of the type frowned upon because of the fact that the city is located in an earthquake region. In fact the school was damaged by the tremor of 1932 to such an extent that all brick have been removed from over the entrance and a fence has been built around the building to prevent children from venturing too close to it. Negroes Challenge Move The plans to set this building aside met a snag this fall when Negro Monrovians* determined to challenge them. Milton Smith, a THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 8, 1934 floor finisher, was the outstanding leader in the revolt against the palpable injustice. He took his children to the two other schools and demanded their admittance. They were refused and sent back to Huntington Drive school. Smith kept them at home. He was arrested and found guilty of the state truancy law. Smith was offered a suspended sentence if he would agree to send his children to the school. He refused and bravely accepted a five-day jail term. Meanwhile the Los Angeles N.A. A. C. P. had been enlisted and Attorney Thomas L. Griffith, who defended Smith, filed a petition for a writ of mandate seeking to force the board to abandon the school. In his petition Griffith also alleged the discrimination, Judge Emmett Vilson who heard the application sustained a demurrier to the petition on the technical ground of misjoinder, asserting that allegations of unsafety and discrimination cannot legally be joined together under the California law. Arrest 13 Parents As soon as the writ was filed Monrovia authorities struck back at the Negro protestants with a mass arrest in which 13 people were jailed on the same charges an those precluded against L. Griffith, who a gain was arrested. The 13 were found guilty and given five-day jail sentences. They are now at liberty on bond pending appeal. It is Griffith's contention that the California law requires only that children shall be sent to school within the district in which they reside. Monrovia is one district and the N. A. A. C. P. lawyer claims that the board of that city has no right to subdivide it into subdistricts and then penalize those who refuse to send their children to one of the so-called subdistricts. Southern Negroes Sworn in Democrat Offices DURHAM, N. C., (ANP) — For the first time in the history of the South, two colored men were elected to office on the Democratic ticket when L. E. Austin, publisher of the Carolina Times, and Frederick K. Watkins, were elected Magistrates of Durham last week by an overwhelming majority. The newspaper man and theatre owner was sworn in office on December 3. Their election marks the beginning of something new in the South. Both of the newly elected Magistrates have been active in politics in the city and state for a number of years. Mr. Austin, has been actively engaged in the newspaper business for the past ten years. He is a graduate of North Carolina College for Negroes, is married and the father of one child. Mr. Watkins is a national official of the Elks engaged in the motion picture business. There are three million square miles of earth unexplored, but it Judge Refuses to Send Two Men Back to Louisiana EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (ANP) Judge William Borders of the City Court in a recent habeas corpus hearing refused to turn over to the sheriff from Mendes, Louisiana, two men, Booker Peters and Charles Davis. These men had been sentenced to serve from two to four years on the penal farm for stealing several hams and a few gallons of paint. The charges in each case amounted to petis farceny under the laws of both Illinois and Louisiana. The evidence brought out that the prisoners at this farm are subject to brutal and inhuman treatment by their chain-gang bosses. The Paramount Democrat's Club of St. Clair County, of which H. A. Adams is president, hired Attorney, Louie F. Orr, to represent the men and paid all the costs in the case. Blast Kills Baby, Injures 15 CHICAGO, (ANP) — A blast which tore off the roof of a west side tenement building at 1222 Washburn Avenue, and wrecked the second floor of a two-story frame at 1226 Washburn Avenue, killed three-month-old Robert L. Robinson, and injured fifteen other residents in the building last Wednesday morning. The child's mother, Mrs. B. Robinson, and four other children of her's were injured by flying glass in their second floor apartment at 1226 Washburn Avenue. Other people in the building suffered injuries. The explosion, police believe, was caused by an accumulation of gas. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Exhibition of the Work Of Maril at Howard U. An exhibition of the work of Herman Maril is being shown currently at the Gallery of Art. Howard University. This is the third in a series of exhibitions which extends throughout the school year. Mr. Maril is a young Baltimore artist who has done considerable work in the recent P. W. A. art project conducted by the government. The present exhibition consists of a number of oil paintings, gouches and black and white sketches executed by Mr. Maril during recent months, and are examples of his latest endeavors. Some of the paintings are borrowed for this exhibition from various private collections. Mr. Maril's paintings, while essentially modern, leave no doubt as to the firm foundation upon which his art is based. Without resorting to any artistic subterfuge or formulae, Maril reduces his paintings to the simplest possible form, employing, in juxtaposition, flat tones in excellent harmony. Color is clearly considered in relation to form, and many fine harmonies are produced, regardless of the bold contrasts which often occur. In the "Portrait of a Woman," he reinforces his very delicate and subdued tones with contour accents which bring the figure forward in its suggestion of subtle tonal contrasts. This method is repeated again in such canvases, as "Before the Storm" and "Sword Play," revealing each time a varied technical treatment. Although the paint- ings of Herman Maril are simple reductions of form and color, they are conscious of their simplicity, and indicate a highly sophisticated mind guiding the brush. The exhibition remains at the Howard University Gallery of Art until December 21. Shot In The Heart Burglar Runs 20 Feet ASHLAND, Ky. (ANP) — The week's strangest occurrence was climaxed here last week when a burglar, shot in the heart by Dr J. D. Williams, white eye, ear and nose expert, ran 20 feet before falling dead. The fellow had leaped from a second story window with a .38 caliber slug in his heart and got up and actually ran the twenty feet before pitching to the ground. The doctor reported that the fellow, who has not been identified, aroused his wife by crawling through the bedroom on his hands and knees. Dr. Williams grabbed his gun and started firing. Held on Assault Charge James A. Young, 36, 75 Fenton Street. Northwest, was arrested by Second Precinct police, early this week, on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.

She kept the key to one of the doors, the husband, the key to the other.

Negroes on Relief f A daily paper with published a prtory. on jocal relief, emphasized tlie ‘fact that 76 per eent ehazicee on relief There are Negroes, but paper failed jto state why this large group were :forced on the relief rolls. The,xeason why this large number of Negroes ate on relief has been repeat- Pally brouglit to the attention off the various telief administtators. They are jon the dole for the simple reason that the wirites are given jobs and Negroes relief. If Negroes had their fair pro- portion of jobs in the various projects ,and government setups it would solve the relief problem here overnight as far as colored persons are eoncerned Every form of bar is put up to keep ‘Negroes out of jobs, even after. they have qualified thtough Civil Service examination. So long as such unfair tactics are used the rélief problem Will remain with us. Pointing it out is not enough, the fair and just thing to do io eliminate ft, is the thing to be con- sidered. The large number of Negroes on re- lief is no longer news to us here in Washington. Forrester Washington Speaks ‘All of Washington remembers For- rester B: Washington, former director of Negro work on the Federal Relief ‘Board, who suddenly ceased to fune- ‘tion. It is rumered that Mr. Washing- ‘ton could not be @ good “Yes, sir man,” so he went his way- From the following statements made ‘by Mr. Washington in Louisville, Ky., last week, that report seems to have been right. 1—Organizations have been formed to dis- place Negro labor, parficularly the Blue Shirts ‘of Jacksonville, Fla,, and the Black Shirts of Mabama. There hav crept up in the South new organizations which have kept up the spirit of the Blue Shirts and Black Shirts. 2—The monopoly given to organized labor, darring Negroes from public wOtks, has help- ‘ed to put them on tite relief rolls. 3—The mequitable operationgot the Recov- ‘ery Program has helped to put the Negroes on relief rolls. Only 12 per cent of the cotton growers are Negroes. Negro farm’ laborers ‘and share eroppers are affected more than white farm laborers and white share croppers. 4—Some NRA codes have resulted in the discharge of many Negroes. More Negroes hhave been forced out of jobs than have bene- fitted. 5—A large number of Negro demestics have heen displaced by white domestics. Negro pro- fessional men in the South and Negro schools are suffering. 6—A large number of Negroes have passed from the Protestant Church to the Catholic Church within the past two years. The ruth- Jessness of the South with regard to Commun- Gsm blocks the Negro from going aver to Com- munism, The Negro, in many instances, has found it necessary to “pass” for white in order ty improve the economic status. 7—The FERA has meant very little to the white-collar Nesro, to the skilled Negro, the professional man and woman within the Ne- gro group. It has onty helped the Negro in the Jowest social industrial status. The Ne- gro has not gained as much as the white man by the Federal Relief program, Most of the Negro appointees in the New Deal set-up were appointed by pressure from the outside, The only thing that works upon -Washing- ton is political pressure from the outside and pitiless publicity. The job of the Negro ad- ‘visor is tc do something besides praising. The Negro constitutes about 20 per cent of thore receiving relief, while they only form 10 ner cent of the population, Tdle labor is the world’s most wan- ton waste. When 50,000 men are un- employed in a city, the consequences gre the same as though a terrible fire were tlestroying block after block of city streets, or 2s though every automo- bile were suddenly melted into a worth- less mass. ~ Something to, Ponber By CHARLES M. ‘firomas = INCENTIVE 70 ACTION Professional Group Tee Small.

Like Emerson's “young man who would have built a bridge to the meon,” America, “in middle age, now settles down to Houild a wood-shed.” That is the meaning of «ll the “Economic planning” now en#&eing the tt scientific and political minds of the day. Each shock to civilization dpsets the old rder, and this upset has shown the Negro to 'be headed toward peasantry unless his leaders take thought and the people tke action for Shemselves.

Wow the Race Stands for Leadership |, Taking a long view over the peridil covered ‘by the date of entry into life's activity of most “of thdse who are now mature among us, we discoved that our total professional, group has inereased about four times, or from 33,994 in 1890 to 125,025 in 1930, While the total Ne- gro population has grewn from 7 million to eleven, or over 60 per cent, The Teaven is too smal to lift the whole mass of us. Within that leadership element, the clergy has doubled from 42 tq25 thousand; the den- tists increased 15 times4¥o the wumber of 1.746, and the lawyers S5gtimes, from 431 to 1,230. ‘Tho race has but AUG colege professors in- cluding presidents, and mdte than 20 per cent jatrease in ddt@th,ywith 3,885 or ene doctor or ever three sroulind of the colored popula- tion. Mifsic s@tuhers have increased -17 times to 10,583 and school temchers thirty times, to 54,439, or a teacher to every 200, Journalists have multiplied but’ 3 times, and trained yurses stand ready to serve us to the number 5,728 only, or about one nurse to every 2,000 perrons, Shifts in Mase Employment It is when we come to look at the fate of Your million enfiged in basic employment, ‘many scores of thowegnits who are now eni- pployed, that we realiz@Rhe necessity’ for a pro. gram and action. Efer since the invention of the spinning machine and the power loom in the latter part of the 18th century, there has been a steady shift from muscle ‘to natural forces, Ifit with the new power of fuel, oil and electricity, machinery has received ‘such a boost in its power to produce godds for man’s consumption, that mere hands have become al- most unnecessary. This is the age of the mind beth by its power of thought in forcing Na- ture to give up her secrets for man’s use,, and its capacity for culture and growth in human association. ‘This shift of civilization has up- set the old order and left the Negro outside, unless he adopts the magic password, EDUCA- TION. Agricultural laborers are about where they were 40 years ago, in numbers, and their over- supply has. been met by the various adjust- ment movements of the Government. Place must be found for those formerly engaged in this kind of work, and a new form of life must be taught to, and entered by them. Domestic Service is but slightly above the level of 40 years ago, and here too, the break- ap of family life and the entrance of machin- ery closes openings that always existed. At least a million ddmestics were dropped by the | depression and the shift of civilization. As a reaction to the irftroduetion of power | and the mache age, the increase in trade and transportation hes been about 20 times, but not sufficient to absorb the overplus from the other les, especially the women and children now thrown out by the stand against child la- bor. Likewise in manufacturing aad mechani- eal indhstries, the demand has increased 5 times, but unfortunately, for purely racial rea- son, only in those less ‘skilled relations with the’ lowest pay and uncertain employment, What Must Be Done to Be Saved Withont finding fault wigh old leadership, ot by calling names of those Who long ago pointed out this very possibility among us, the very definite call for a program and for action is upon the Negro everywhere in every walk of life. Professional people can not exist unless the masses do likewise, and industrial em- ployees, will not be employed unless able to contribute. the benefits of industry and busi- ness, Efficiency and intelligence can be in- creased Ly education and by that instrumen- tality alone, hence the one road open or to be opened to every Negro who is willing to will and thins his life and his kind forward is TO LEARN or PERISH! The place occupied by the Negro profession- als is oge that must be recruited and their number distributed, and their life-attitude re- focalized. SERVICE is the watch-word in this sphere—intelligent and effigient service based upon the facts secured by careful and pains- takine research. For the mace the training Some among us seem to prefer being on Un- cle Sam’s relief roll to being on a job that pays more cash, —_—__»—__ If you think you are important, look through a telescope and think of the immensity of space. ee a ae If the old home town is not what the home a want it to be, they alone can make it such, ge The New Dealers may now hold on to their old tricks for nother tWo years at least, ecto eae The most cherished peace is happiness and eontentment at home on the farm oe a | Our Readers’ Opinions \ Sige apy ee ripe Misra Setnne ators Ye or ora oe lee. shee sa: | | ees Oo rentties o ro os me ber, Names will not be pobiished if so requested. i Writer Says Unemployment Council is not a Communist Organization, To the Editor: ¥ In your November 24 issue you published an Account of may arrest and erroneously stated that the Unemployment Council is a Commun- ist organization. I would like to point ont, that while some of the most devoted and mili- tant members of the Unemployment Couneil are Communists, the Unemployment Council is not a political organization and includes and welcomes all workers, regardless of politica! belief or affiliation who are willing to struggle for more adequate relief and for the passage ‘of the Workers Unemployment and Social In- surance Bill. The following quotation from the Preamble to the Constitution of the National Unemploy- ment Council, will, I think straighten out any of your readers who may have been con- fused: | “Mass unemployment has no” bscome a-per- manent feature of the con system under which we live....Only t') c: asized_ mass pressure and struggle o2 <1) victims of mass unemployment and insecurity, Negro and white, can force the owner of wealth and their governmenta agents to provide the means of safeguarding the home, the family and the very existence of the masses who face and suffer poverty in the midst of plenty. Only by forcing the Government to establish unemp!oy- ment and social insurance at rates equal to average wages can even partial economic se- curity and the preservation of living stand- ards be assured for all.” Our aim is to win security by forcing en- actment of the Workers Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill, Sincerely yours. GERTRUDE THORP, Secretary of the Unemptoyment i - Councils of Washington, D.C, White Woman Makes Significant Address to South Carolina Group, To the Editor:: _ In ‘an address to the first state conference yn tuberealosis among Negeoes in South Caro- fina, hell at Booker Washington High School, ‘Mrs, Monteith Simkins, white, field worker of ‘the South Carolina Tuberculosis committee de- clared that outstanding physicians and public health leaders no longer tolerate the theory that the Negro is biologically more suscepible to tuberculosis, “It is only. the sociological conditions under which the masses of colored people live,” she contended, “are improved that we can conclude that he is the more liable to the disease, As Mong as the best housing and highest wage of the Nezrc maintains a lower degree than the worst housing and the lowest wage of his white brother, comparisons are unfair, “Now,” she went on, ‘is the best time since the Negro’s sojourn in America to concentrate on this fight against poverty and disease. In the New Deal begun by our jllustrous Presi- dent, the poor man has the best chance to come back’ he as ever had. We need more physi- cians and public health nurses who are efficient and interested in eradicating tuberculosis to help carry on this work.” Columbia, $.C. Dr, 0. M.

It follows: ig eon che ame ene ee ee ee subject matter, I am submitting first or prefacing my discussion with an excerpt of the President's excutive Order of June 10th, 1933. It follows: AI personnel employ- ed in connection with the work of an abolished agency or function disposed of shall be separated from the service of the United States, except that the head of any suc- cessor agency, subject to my ap- proval, may, within a period of 4 months after transfer or consolida- tion, reappoint any of such person- nel required for the work of the Successor agency without reexami- nation or loss of _ civil-serviee status.” Please note the arbitrary or dis- cretionary power granted the head of the sticcessor agency in the se- lection or rejection of personnel to be employed in the new agency during the period of reorganiza- tion, Never in the entire history of the Internal Revenue Department has there been such a hetrogeneous mass or mess as now exist in the Alcohol Tax Unit of the Internal Revenue Department among the personnel, ‘This unwarranted con- fusion and restlessness does not only exist to the detriment of the Personnel of that department, but also to the detriment of the U.S, Government and taxpayers. Correct the Cause If order is to be brought out of this chaotic situation, it would be necessary to ascertain and correct the cause thereof. The incipiency of the whole affair can be found jn section 19 of the President's Execu- tive Order of June 10th, 1933, copy of which is above. It'is folly or absurd for anyone to decry the McKellar Rider on the Deficiency Bill with false propaganda and dis- tortion of facts. The real truth to this extent has been clouded for the purpose of crystalizing public sentiments in behalf of 9) or more of the whiskey brigade who rode into the Internal Revenue Department in a vehicle of trickery, S0 it has been charged. In pursuance of S, J. Resolution No. 113, an open investigation was conducted by Sen, McKellar and the Senate Civil Service Commit- tee. The findings of that investi- gation were as follow: There was as holdover Republican clique in the Bureau of Industrial Alcoho}, Treasury Department who had for their purpose and business (a) to prevent Democrats from being appointed to the service: (b) to manipulate the civil ser- vice records of Democrats to pre- vent their promotion; (c) to frame charges against Democrats so as to get them out of the service; (a) to detail or assign men in outlying or distant districts away from their families under double expenses where they knew the men would not or could not serve, this causing them to resign or be liable to further framing. Passage of Rider Urged S. J. Rosolution 113 being sup- plemented with such substantiated facts, Sen. McKellar and the Sen- ate Civil Service Committee felt justified in urging the passage of | the Rider on the Deficiency Bill, in order that Congress might be able ‘on reconvening to correct the sit- ‘uation among the personnel of which there had been so much com- plaint. = ‘The investigation further _dis- closed that the former prohibition agents who had been reappointed or continued in the service upon reorganization had passed a real Civil Service Examination which had been supplemented by a satis- factory Character test; but they had been continued jn the service or reappointed without the approval of the President as required by his Executive Order of June 10th, 1933. Tt was further found in the in- vestigation that with the use of strategy, intrigue and caprice, mean advantages had been taken of section 19 of the Executive Order, and with false sincerity, many competent and efficient em- ployees, with long tenure had been rejected from the service, thereby providing space for the reappoint- ment of the former pfohibition agents who probably weuld have Jost their jobs through repeal of the 18th Amendment and the aboli- tion of the Prohibition Department, ‘The precedine facts are sufficient to prove that the Senate Civil Ser- vice Committee did not act upon a misapprehension with regards to those employees’ civil service stat- tas; neither did the Congress have right to act upon any misap- fy Dee at Seon tay Because copies of the Hearings were available to any one st all times. Purpose of the Rider _ The purpose of the Rider was al- ae, ne mo ek 0 eg ee ee of any department against. civil service employees for political ex- pediency. It served as a protec- tion to the Civil Service and the Merit System and was not intend- ed to undermine or throttle either. Efforts are being made to con- vey the idea that the Civil Service Commission -was in error and did the former agents an injustice by withholding eredit from them in the examination proposed by the Rider. Such is not true. The ex- amination was an “open competi- tive exsminatioly and as such the public was entitled to participate therein. To give the investigators cridit for experience would have been an act of discrimination a- gainst the general public. Aside from that, many of the former agents, during the reor- ganization, were shifted to posi- tions which they had not previous- ly held, consequently, when called upon to qualify in an open com- petitive examination for their Present position they had no. right to expect eridit for experience. The storekeeper-guager force js packed with many of the former agents, The most disrupted group as a result of the reorganization is that of the storekeeper-guager force, men of long service, who were only transferred from the Internal Re- venue Department to the Prohibi- tion Department through _ the Crampton Bil for experimental purposes in prohibition matters. Instead of permitting those men. to return to their original department during the reorganization, no, many of them were framed out. , provid- ing space for the appointment of former prohibition agents. “IL Am Framed” I was unfortunate enough to be in that group. After more than ten years of efficient, meritorious and outstanding services with a true manifestation of evidence of my incorruptibility as a Govern- ment officer, and in the face of great, financial sacrifices on behalf of the Government, I was framed out on February 15th, 19384. T hold indisputable documentary evidence of the various frames, concocted charges and propagandas which were designed to jeopardize my po- sition on account of my fidelity to the Government, my official activi- ties against a bunch of whisky racketeers and my racial identity. Any civil service employes who had been required to undergo the unjust ordeal through which I was required to go to hold my job and then in the end be framed out, would appreciate the Rider sponsored by Sen. McKellar. I may in the fu- ture relate in detail to you the capricious ordeal to which I have been subjected in order that they would have a pretext to rid me of my job, During the month of March of the current year my reinstatement was recommended by the Pe~se~nel Committee of the Treasury Wepart- ment, but the officials of the Alco- hol Tax Unit exercised the arbit- rary power given them in the Ex- ecutixe Order and would not rein- state me. Despite the superiority of the Honorable Secretary of the Treasury, he has as yet been un- able to force favorable actions on the recommendation of his own personnel committee. Notwithstanding my — humble station, I would’ respectfully re- quest the Honorable Secretary of the Treasury to condescend to give me a fifteen-minute audi- ence, in order that I might be able to show him facts and evidence as to the methods which were empioy- ed to frame a civil service em- ployee in the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol for political purposes and how T trapped some of the Past Masters in framing on several oc- casions. : . Intrigue Used Speaking for the storekeeper- gaugers who were unjustly reliev- ed of their jobs through caprice and intrigue as were shown in the investigation conducted by Sen. McKellar, let me give warning: If worse does not overtake us, we ex- pect to meet the 900 or more when Congress convenes, and if we can prevent it, they will not make an- other pay day, until, in accordance with the Thatcher Bill (H.R. 16393) we are returned to our fam- ‘ilies and position from which we were capriciously separated for the benefit of ‘former — prohibition agents by those who were in charge ‘of the Bureau of Industrial Aleo- hel _in 1933. as 2 Seer any es gaugers in pursuance of the Eoeens tive Order on the ground of cur- tailment at Taree or other ae excuses. repeal of the 18th Amendment snd the Fees the 2ist Amendment were folic ed by an increased Rnomragc and uring of ‘ie bever- wes, which in itself demanded an Many thanks for the letters of congratulation on this ay first| niversary as a fea colummist en the Washington Tribune staff, This Week | | By HAROLD G.

Ate ‘we in a position to use force to get anything? Jobs especially. I say no. In the first place it is not the right kind of dipiomacy. If we do. use pressure to obtain jobs we will find in the end that it will be more injurious than if we got out and hustled for our jobs.

MURPHY ica ee ¢ old adage about facing youre self in the mirror might be trite, but it certainly -eontains a lot of good common sense and should be kept in mind. Never get the idea that because an expression is old, it might not be worthwhile. There is much to be learned from the old and the past. Mirrors don't lie any moré ‘than they did 20 years —or even 50° years—ago, and even itt this mad and modérn world, the most important thing, still, is to be conscious at the end of each day of having retained your own self-re- spect, and of being able to face your ‘reflection in the mirror with- Out a sense of guilt or shame. If the ideals by which you live, and upon which your life is found- ed, are #0 trivial that you would even consider sacking them for principles with which you do no: agree, and for which you could not conscientiously “go to the bat”— simply because you do not wish to hurt a friend—then, my dear, the best advice that one could give to you is to find something—some solid convictions that would stand as a foundation on which to shape your life—some ideals for whicn you would give up everything; everything, mind you; and for which you would be willing to fight to the death. Stick by those prin- ciples, renagdiess of what you lore ‘or have to give up in order to hold on to them. ‘You will find that friendship de- mands concessions, and sometimes even sacrifice; it demands sym- pathy with the other fellow’s point of view, even if you cannot agres with it.” But when it demands, re- Tinguishment of your sense of hon- esty and right and the things which you truly fect and believe, then it is not friendship but something else sailing under false colors. Real friendship is too rare and too fine a gift to be thoughtlessly and indiscriminately cast aside. But let me warn you that self-con- tempt is one of the heaviest shackles man ever was called upon to wear. Think it over.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 8, 1934 PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men LOVELY ATTRACTION begins with the hair Soft — Greaseless — Smooth — Silky a result of constant care with HAWIIAN HAIR PRODUCTS DEPENDABLE OPERATORS IMMEDIATE SERVICE 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. 1929.14th Street, N.W. Phone North 6634 1516 9th Street, N.W. Phone, Decatur 2376 (Training School Open. Register Now!) Baltimore teachers were moving about rapidly a Saturday or so ago. No, the schools weren't holding Saturday sessions; there was not a teachers' association election scheduled for that day; nor even a parent-teacher's meeting. But Baltimore schoolma's and masters, dressed all-up in their best, were out as early as four p.m., getting ready to fix to honor Mr. William McAbee (retired principal in the Baltimore School system). Forty-two years of service as an educator. What a record! And how it must have warmed his heart to hear teachers, former teachers and even pupils extol his virtues (they couldn't say anything about his vices, he hasn't—at any rate they didn't mention 'em). A pretty feature of the testimonial which was held in the Cosmopolitan Community Church, was the recitation of Mr. McAbee's favorite sayings by faculty members. There were echoes from his life by George B. Murphy, reminiscences by Henry Brown, a number of vocal and instrumental and finally of good things to eat, like crab flake cutlet, small peas, crab candy sweet potatoes, hot rolls, coffee, vanilla ice cream and cherry ice and assorted cake. By this time Mr. McAbee was so full of emotion (and crab-flakes) he probably went straight home and sat in his grand, new easy-chair (a gift from the teachers). He didn't stay there long though (at least, I'd be willing to wager he didn't) for Mr. McAbee is full of the joy of living. He's here, there, any place where there's something interesting and worth while going on. Indeed, he's even a "speed king" as his pocket-book bore witness, a couple of hours after a Maryland "cop" caught him breaking the speed limit all to pieces on a Washington-Baltimore trip not many years ago. So I hope that when Baltimore gives Mr. McAbee another testimonial (maybe for service as a member of the City council for that's where they say he belong, and I believe 'em) they'll give him an airplane or something else he can make some time in. --- That Davis girl of 301 U Street, (Mrs. Mary Davis) does her entertaining the very same way she does her typewriting and her stenography—with a vim that really amounts to a joy. That's exactly why her Thanksgiving guests, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Dorsey are threatening to return at Christmas time. Mr. Dorsey, a civil engineer for the city of Philadelphia, is a cousin of Mrs. Davis and he and his pretty wife are popular members of the younger set in the city of "Brotherly Love." Mary's guests arrived early Wednesday evening (probably knew what an interesting time they were in for). After a few glad greetings the whole crowd hied to the Cotton Club, Mrs. Davis and her friends were here for a minute, there for another minute, and at some other place—for so many more minutes that I lost trace of them Thanksgiving evening at the General Alumni get-together at the Masonic Temple, Mary in her new black and gold velvet gown, and Mrs. Dorsey in red (all silver-sequintrimmed). And so the Dorsseys are coming back at Santa Claus time and nobody blames them. The only thing we are sorry about is that we can't claim "Cousin Mary" too. *** The happy occupants of the crowded cars that were dashing out. Conduit. Road last Monday night had but a single thought in mind. And that was to get to the National Training School for Girls before the curtain went up on "Clarissa's Awakening". (Oh, a play, of course, and the interesting thing about it is that its author is none other than Mrs. Etta Walker, 1718 U Street, a teacher in the school) Act one of the play pictures the ambitious efforts of poor "Mrs. Jones to keep up with the well-to-do 'McDermottts'. The closing scene shows rich Miss "Clarissa" (the McDermott's daughter) tiring of the life of a society debutante and finally finding happiness in community relief work. A pretty theme and beautifully built up. And with a bit of humor here and a touch of pathos there the players (students of the National Train- ing School for Girls) unfolded a plot that was well worth driving through the rain to see. Especially interesting were the scenes featuring the "Birthday Party", the "Office" and the dance of the chorus girls. The Superintendent, Miss Lottie Richardson, had a smile for everyone; and Mrs. Walker, the happy author, becoming dressed in green, tried unsuccessfully to hide the pride that beamed plainly in her cheeks and eyes. A score or more of guests missed the first act altogether and all because of Bonita (Mrs. E. T. Hawkins, of S Street). Funny how a slim little thing like Bonita can hold so many hearts in line. She used to boast quite a bit of avoidupois. But the poor dear girl has been quite ill. And even now before she goes to dinner, breakfast or even lunch she has to pull out a tiny file and shuffle a lot of cards just to see whether it's to be spinach or maybe a cracker. It wasn't her excess poundage though, that endeared so many to her, but a sort of indescribable something that endures when weight goes away. Indeed, if that Hawkins girl were to tell a bunch of us to start for Jerlcho, we'd somehow find a dough "to soon on the go. Among the ardent ones following her tardy lead ut to the Training School last Monday night were: Mr. and Mrs. Hensley, Mrs. "Beadie" Adams, Miss Odessa Moye, in a garnet dress and that looked well with her mixed gray coat, Mr. and Mrs. James Kelley of Seaton Place, little Miss Margaret Campbell and Mrs. Elizabeth Tinsley. Among the other guests were: Reverend and Mrs. Robert W. Brooks, Professor Billups, and Mrs. Wilhelmina Wallace. A reception was held after the final curtain and the efficient Superintendent and teachers of the National Training School for Girls taught a lot of loiterers a lesson in punctuality by presenting a pretty play, receiving their guests, serving them a dainty repast, and getting the whole interesting business over early enough to allow the happy guests to drive five or six miles back to town and have some extra minutes to do their "snormig" in before the midnight hour had struck. ★★★ By Sunday afternoon echoes of the Green-Orme wedding were fading away. The bride and groom had had their sprinkling of rice and good wishes; the groom's father had driven back to Norfolk hearing the many gifts that had been showered upon the happy couple. But the groom's mother, Mrs. A. B. Green, still lingered in D. C. and at 5 p.m., last Sunday, she was the dinner guest of Mrs. Birdie K. Kebble, of 67 I Street, Northeast. Those fortunate enough to know Mrs. Kebble feel that her name should be Birdie "whole-hearted" Kebble instead of Birdie K. Kebble. She does absolutely nothing by halves. So, when Mrs. Green and Mrs. Helene S. Lee of Suffolk, Va., (Mrs. Lee came to Washington to sing during the Green-Orme nunitial ceremony) received an invitation to dine with Mrs. Kebble they knew that nothing short of a fire or maybe a flood would keep them from being present. Mrs. Green was resplendent in maroon-colored crepe with metal trimming. Mrs. Lee was becomingly gowned in white and black taffeta (gold button-trimmed). "Twas a turkey dinner, of course, with all the usual trimmings and some extra ones besides. The color scheme was yellow and green (but you knew it would be, that is if you know "Kebbie" at). All, receiving with the hostess was Mrs. Isabel Heard in a green jacket dress with a red blouse. Also assisting was Miss Pansy Williams in a fetching dress of tan. Mrs. Kebble greatly pleased her guests by permitting them to cut her birthday cake, and by the time she got through making all that delightful fuss over them (she knows right well how to make it too). The guests probably thought it was their birthday, too. Dr. Johnson Host to College Presidents President Mordecai Johnson and administrative officers of Howard University entertained at dinner, Tuesday evening, November 20 in honor of the president of the Land Grant Colleges for colored youth, who held their annual meeting in Washington, November 19, 20 and 21.

Davis, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, presided as master of ceremonies. Falls Church Wedding Is Gay Social Event A wedding of interest took place last Wednesday evening in Falls Church, Virginia, when Miss Edna Marguerite Evans, daughter of Robert James Evans and the late Mrs. Eliza Carter Evans, became the bride of Preston Joseph Gordon, of Washington, son of Mrs. Nelly Gordon Cox, at the home of the bride's brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Evans. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. John W. Carroll, pastor of the Galloway Methodist Church. The wedding march was played by Mrs. Floyd Evans, sister of the bride, who wore a gown of ivory satin and red accessories. The bride who was given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of white crepe made with tunic effect, cowl neckline and metallic trimmings. Her flowers were white chrysanthemums. She was attended by Miss Virginia Martin, of Washington, who wore a gown of turquoise blue velvet with slippers and gloves to match, and carried a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums. Percy Graham, also of Washington, was best man. A reception followed immediately after the ceremony for the members of the two families and friends who numbered about one hundred and fifty. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon will make their home in Washington.

What to do and where to go. The dance at the Colonnade was well attended and the crowd had a very good time as was also reported of the General Alumni dance at the Masonic Temple. To be exact, however, there were too many activities going on to recall meet your friends as you would wish. Some preferred to remain in the four corners of their little home rendezvous and take it easy and yet make it pleasant for the out-of-town people who chanced to come their way. In all, Thursday evening was spent "as you liked it." Friday afternoon and more rain. What a Thanksgiving holiday! What a treat for out-of-town guests! The afternoon brought a most enjoyable dance given by the Omega Psi Phi at the Lincoln Colonnade. To go was in order, so the crowd was there in spite of the rain.

So it was that at 8 p.m. Tuesday evening every seat in the first floor section of the Washington Auditorium was taken. Men from every walk of life, preachers, teachers, bankers, business and professional; men, yes, even the humblest among us had gathered to witness Dr. Ralph Mark Gilbert's conception of the Passion and Triumph of Christ. The mammoth undertaking was sponsored by Metropolitan A. M. E., Metropolitan Baptist, Mt. Carmel Baptist and Shiloh Baptist churches and members and officials of the four churches figured largely in the play. Dr. Gilbert's portrayal of Christ in the garden, before Pilate, at the Crucifixion, and on through the Recurrection was tender, touching, heart-holding.

Mix and sift 1 pound flour, 2 teaspoons mace, 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1 teaspoon soda. Add 2 tablespoons milk to the cake mixture and then beat in about ¾ of the flour.

Washingtonians, prominent in musical circles, who contributed to the success of the singing were: Miss Maude Smothers, Messrs. Stanley Brooks, Norman Johnson, Jr., and Scott Mays. Costumes made a credible showing and the lighting effects were good. Indeed the whole affair was a splendid step in the right direction. Durnig one of the intervals incidental to the shifting of scenery a male member of the audience (you knew it would be a man who would pull a stunt like that, the women are always too busy looking) who had evidently been awake since early dawn, fell asleep, immediately began to snore and continued to do so throughout the waiting period and on into the next scene. Strangely enough it was the "Gethsmane Hour" when some of the "Disciples" also fell asleep. I hope Dr. Gilbert didn't hear the snoring. Upon second thought I hope he did. For in that case he will probably eliminate the waits when he next presents the play thereby removing the reason for the only real criticism, Success to Dr. Gilbert, and Washington fervently hopes that "Passion and Triumph" will continue to triumph. mark, Pauline Barnes, Francis Weeks, Mildred Butler, Gladys Thomas, Helen Mathews Barnes, Mozelle Barnes and Margaret Ball.

North 3815 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 8, 1934 Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb SSS Sexology Unquestionably the subject of sex is becoming more and more the current topie for spirited dis- cussion. To me this trend is a striking indication that the modern generation is a constantlly think- Ing group of restless and fact- seeking individuals who are pro- digious and determined seckers of the truths and resiities of life. I look forward with no small amount of optimism to the dry when the subject of sex will be discussed both freely and intulli- gently In open forums, schools, churches et al by members of both sexes. The success of the marital institution depends directly on the physical potency of couples and mates. The successes sind failures of marriages can often be logically traced to the ignorance of sex life ‘on the part of one or both mem- bers of a family. T particularly wish to urge all young paople to familiarlze them- selves with authentic, and clean literature that dwell on the prob- lems of sex. To achieve a most glorious status of happiness and marizal enjoyment, 2 sound know. ledge of this subject is advocated. oeee Meanderings Along the Gossipy, Columnistic Lanc. Will You Follow Me?

S. L. CARSON Chairman Committee MR. WALTER JOHNSON, Promoter MR. LEE JOHNSON MR. ROBERT McGUIRE Southwest Eleven Maintains Undefeated Record by Ebenezer Win Climaxing six years of campaigning, the Willowtree A.C. eleven, Sunday, gained undisputed possession of the District Independent Football League championship by defeating their traditional nemesis, the once powerful Ebenezer team, 18-0, at the Green Valley grindiron. The game gave the Trees an unblemished record of eight consecutive league wins for the 1934 season. In a ninth game, the Southwesterners defeated the Winston-Salem eleven, 21-0. During their victorious march to the title, the Trees have completely swept over opposition teams, amassing a total of 172 points against their victims while keeping their own goal line uncrossed. Only two of the loop eleven gave the Trees a tough battle, the St. Cyprian and Anacostia teams. Each was beaten by a 6-0 score. The Trees scored at least 10 points on each of the other opponents with the exception of the Yellow-jacket eleven from which it won by forfeit. One Forfeit Win This forfeit, incidentally, is the only scar on the otherwise clean record of the league champions. Because of 'the Jackets' strong desire to commercialize their activities, the former co-champions of the loop title scheduled an out of town team for the same Sunday the league card called for their playing the Trees. Prior to the date of the clash, President Hank Jones of the League ruled that the league encounter must be played on that date as the Jackets had already taken two postponements. Refusal to meet the league ruling caused the Yellowjackets the forfeit and deprived local fans of what might have been the best game of the year. However, the Trees, undaunted by the lost opportunity to settle the city-wide controversy concerning which is the better eleven continued to bowl over their opponents finally sealing the league title with Sunday's victory. Players and spectators alike are jubilant over the Trees' success for patience and persistence has won for them what sheer fighting spirit and ability failed to do. Six Years Old Since the organization of the club, over six years ago, the Trees have been strong contenders for the local title but each season found a stumbling block in the Ebenezer eleven. For four years, the Trees piled up excellent records only to lose in their final clash with the Sneezers. Last year, when they went through the season undefeated also, the Yellowjackets proved to be their nemesis. The two elevens, both sporting undefeated records, battled to a scoreless tie leaving the league championship divided between them. Battling on a field left extremely muddy by the rains of the previous day, the Trees scored their 18-0 victory only after several serious threats by the Sneezers. Early in the opening period the South-easterners aided by a long pass, Thompkins to Brown, placed the ball on the Trees' 12-yard line. Here the rally halted as the Tree forward braced and held for downs. The Trees scored in the next peril as Price went over from the 1 yard stripe after a sustained drive from midfield. Several plays later, Walters picked up a blocked punt and raced 39 yards for the second touchdown. The final touchdown came in the third quarter when Strawberry Butler, whose gridiron feats have been an inspiration to the Trees, circled left end for 23 yards to a touchdown. Each attempted try for the extra point failed. The depression caused the decrease of two hundred thousand teaching positions. NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD Sidelights on the Classic The Bisons defeated the Lions last Thursday afternoon in their annual clash, but only because they had the better skidders. The Blue and White ball-carriers found time enough between slides across the field to run to a couple of touchdowns. At one time it became a question as to whether it was a football game or a toboganning contest. Referee W. N. Rivers deserves lots of credit for the manner in which he handled the game. Although it was his first time indicating a Howard-Lincoln game, Rivers had no delays. The contest was free from all the referee-baiting characteristic of these affairs, and as a result the tilt went off without a single incident that would mar it from a spectator's view point. Folkdom heretofore alien to Howard-Lincoln Thanksgiving Day classics is the class from which the largest support now comes. A large delegation of Chicagoans, headed by Cary B. Lewis, of the Chicago World, was on hand to witness the affair. Coming by special train, the Windy City representation collaborated with similar groups from New York and Baltimore to outnumber the local supporters—that is, until the rain had let up. * * * * Rain-drops that were flavorored with salt and which trickled down the collars of newspaper men in the primitive Howard Stadium press-box, dripped, fully seasoned, out of their shoes later on. The dress parade put on by the American Legion Band between the halves served a two-fold purpose. It not only helped distract the minds of spectators who were already altogether too rain-minded to enjoy the game, but it made the rabble seek other means than romping over the field in the usual between-period revelry. Over-worked shoes-soles might have had something to do with it too. GIRL CHAMPS WIN FLOOR OPENER Philly Tribune Five Captures Initial Tilt from New York Defenders PHILADELPHIA, Penna.—On Thanksgiving night the rain did not stop a packed house from turning out at the Y.W.C.A. to see Otto Briggs's Philadelphia Tribune Girls, national colored basketball champions, open their home season against the New York Defender Girls of N.Y. Although the contest ended 36 to 16, the crack team from Harlem put up a much better game than the score indicates.

C. Chuna ATLANTA, Ga. (Special)—Dyck Smith, sensational quarterback for Morris Brown College, did everything with a football that can be expected of a human being and carried his team to a decisive victory over their traditional rivals, Clark University, winning by a one-sided score of 22-6, thereby giving Morris Brown its first undisputed Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championship. The victory also carried with it the Municipal title and the Bowden Trophy. Both Morris Brown and Clark hold two legs on the trophy. Clark University drew first blood when Frazier fumbled Ray's punt on the Wolverines' 10-yard line. Several Clark players landed on the ball receiving it. On three plays, with a short passaving the way for the score, Wellmaker touched down. Ray's try for the point failed. Clark led 6-0, an advantage they held throughout the first half. In the second half the Morris Brown team was hell-bent on winning their first title. They passed and ran their way to two touchdowns within the first 7 minutes of play. Long runs by Smith Sam Jones and Harmon and a pass of 18 yards, Smith to Hadley, went for a touchdown. Smith's try for point was wide, missing his second point after touchdown of the season. The next touchdown was registered from a 28-yard drive, where Dyck Smith again stood out brilliantly. His first pass went to Meade, at right end for 6 yards, and another pass to Jones, made it first down on Clark's 16-yard line, where he tossed one to Haddley for the touchdown. A pass from Dyck Smith to Sad Sam Jones, was good for the extra point. Claflin Winner in Turkey Day Annual Clash ORANGEBURG, S. C. — Coach Bill Bell's Red Devils rose to their heights Thursday and took the much publicized Claflin game by a score of 6-0, while 5000 home-coming fans looked on. It was Willis, the big, driving Claflin back who intercepted a long lateral S. C. State pass and ran free of interference 35 yards for the touchdown to win. It was the day of days for Claflin who won their first Thanksgiving battle since athletic relations began between the two schools here three years ago. The first two meetings won by S. C. State 13-0 and 39-0; today's 6-0, in favor of Claflin, must go to a team well trained in a short time by a clever and cool headed coach D.C.

The Spartans, a Baltimore aggregation, proved no match for the locals at any time during the contest. A total of 30 field goals, most of which were contributed by Pee Wee Gross, Renny Logan and Herbie Tobias, were principally responsible for the one-sided victory.

Bedlam reigned at the close of the game ended the jinx that Conch Clevie L. Abbott has given his Tuskegee teams since 1923. A thousand happy Negro fans surged onto the field to hail the victorious Hornet varsity as they dragged weary bodies toward the Madison Avenue gate. And that night Montgomery, belonged to Alabama State. Not disorderly, the thousands of Negro alumni and supporters, nevertheless, celebrated a triumph that was sweeter because it had been denied so long. A determined offense by the Hurnet team in the opening quarter gave them that four-point, edge over the maroon and gold Tiger. Taking the ball near midfield shortly after the game started, Jerome, State halfback and fullback, respectively, started down the field in a march of line plays, end runs, and passes that culminated in Morris's taking a short pass from James and racing 14 yards for a touchdown after only seven minutes of competition.

Smith's passing and kicking were features of the Morris Brown lads' victory in the season finale Thanksgiving Day. 3-year Sumeracy in 1934 Classic Alabama State on Margin Turned Over to Winning Team as Tuskegee considerably outgained Alabama but was unable to convert opportunities into scores. Four times the impregnable Hornet line held when the Tigers had invaded the danger zone. The Tigers' lone score came in the middle of the fourth period. Alabama had taken the ball on downs on her own 11-yard line, and Morris fell back on the goal line to kick out of danger. The pass from center was a little high, and Morris missed it. Tuskegee's captain, Adams, star tackle, recovered it behind the end zone for a safety. The line play of both squads was one of the outstanding features of the game. It would be difficult to single out individual stars, since Coach Rufus A. Lewis used 14 linemen in giving State its first victory over Tuskegee in his first season as head coach, and 13 Tuskegee forwards saw service. However every one of those 27 men may feel proud this morning that he was one of the principals in a football drama that thrilled more than 4,000 fans.

For you The big question SPORT SCRIPTS The urgent need of a modern and adequate press box at Howard Stadium was again forcibly demonstrated at the Howard-Lincoln game Thanksgiving Day. With the ram coming down in torrents, newspapermen were forced to stand out in the downpour in an attempt to scribble notes on the classic. Fond hopes of giving readers a play by play account of the clash, as is the annual practice, were necessarily abandoned shortly after the opening whistle as papers and persons alike became drenched. Besides being handicapped by the lack of protection from the weather, pressmen were unable to identify many of the players as mud covered their jerseys hiding their numbers. George Burgess, 18-year-old Lincoln freshman, who ran 73 yards for the Lions' only score, played on the same high school team with Eulace, Peacock, Temple University track ace. . . Eulace's sparkling performances. in the, backfield kept Burgess constantly on the bench. . . Manuel Rivero, Lincoln coach, sat on the Lions' bench hatless throughout the whole game despite the downpour of rain. . . Washington fans are still wondering why Justin Plummer, whose plunging in the Morgan game gained over 60 per cent of the Bison yardage, did not see action. . . Co-captains Ewart McGruder and Joe Cole, the latter a local product, Marty Sutler, Luther Critchow and James McCarthy sang their swan song for the Bisons in the mud battle. . all with the exception of Sutler are linemen. Lineoln Playeroung, Sixth and L Streets, Southeast, has been adjudged as one of the best in the city. Miss Helen Capers and Thomas (Tommy) Jackson are in charge of activities at the recreational center. Garnet C. Wilkinson, First Assistant Superintendent of Schools, will discuss "Competitive Athletics and Education" at the Friday morning session of the C. I. A. A. convention at Howard University. Harry Parker, D. C. boy, now coaching at Livingstone College, was in the city during the holidays. his team won one game this year, the first in five seasons. Hank Jones, Garnet-Patterson School teacher, is the real power behind the District Independent Football League. His utterances motivated the loop's action in denying the Yellow-jackets a postponement of the Willowtree clash, and now I know why Paul L. Perkins, banished Howard football player, would not discuss his playing at Washington and Jefferson College with me several months ago. he was declared ineligible on the gve of the annual classic because of his expulsion from the Pennsylvania school.

NINE Stellar End Collaborates With Mace Jefferson to Trim Anacostia Taking a long pass from Mace Jefferson in the last two minutes of play, Jelly Jackson, sensational all-round athlete of the Washington Yellowjackets football team, dodged two opposing players who stood between him and the goal line to give his mates a thrilling 14-13 decision over the Anacostia Athletics, last Sunday afternoon. Alvin Barnes then plunged through the line to complete the conversion of a 7-13 score into a Yellowjacket victory. The winners made the first touchdown in the opening quarter when Red Pine Armstrong, after faking a pass, skirted off-tackle for the needed distance. Quarterback Scoop Johnson negotiated. Athletics Strike Back Anacostia's retaliation was in the nature of a determined stand on their one-yard line, after which they carried the ball on a sustained drive from within the shadows of their own goal posts to the 'jackets' 35-yard stripe. From here Mace Mason duplicated the feat of Armstrong. The extra point was missed. In the third period, R. Travers received a Yellowjacket kick and ran through the entire Northwest team to a touchdown. Chink Berry contributed the extra point to bring the score to 13-7 in favor of the Southeast clan. What followed has already been described. South Atlantti High School to Meet Saturday The South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference will hold its annual meeting, Saturday morning at the Wiley Bates High School, Annapolis, Md., it was announced by P.
