CLERK $140 Government Employee Says $150 Was a Gift and Not a Loan For doing what he thought a good deed, Howard A. Maxwell, Jr., 1011 Euclid Street, Northwest, employee in the Franklin Station Post Office, found himself'f in the soils of the law this week and facing a charge of refusing to pay a debt before Judge Nathan A. Cayton, in the Municipal Court, Wednesday morning. Maxwell who was represented by Attorney J. Flipper Derricotte, stated that on December 12, 1931 he was delivering mail and on visiting the home of Mrs. Rosie Yates, white $201\%$ Seventh Street, Southwest, he saw a key on a table. He stated that at the time he pointed out to Mrs. Yates that the key resembled one used in safety deposit baxes at banks. Mrs. Yates on investigation found that her husband who was a sailor and was dead, had deposited a sum of $7,500 in the Washington Loan and Trust Company under the name of Gates. The woman succeeded in gaining possession of the money and Maxwell said she visited his house and gave him $150 out of gratitude for helping her in securing the money. Mrs. Yates denies this and told the court that she loaned Maxwell the $150 of which he had paid $10. Judge Cayton ruled that the preponderance of evidence was in favor of the woman and gave her a judgment of $140 against Maxwell. Attorney Derricotte stated that he would file a motion for a new trial on the grounds of newly discovered evidence. Mrs. Lottie Banks Claims Damages for Injuries Received on Bus A suit for damage in the amount of $25,000 naming the Capital Transit Company as defendant was filed late last week by Attorney George A. Parker on behalf of Mrs. Lottie Banks, 1215½ Carrollburg Street, Southwest. Injuries sustained by Mrs. Banks while she was a passenger on a Transit Company bus were cited as the basis for the suit. According to the plaintiff she was a passenger on a bus bound west on M Street, Southwest, last May when the accident occurred. Her statement charging the driver with being both negligent and careless asserts the vehicle was brought to a sudden stop at the intersection of First Street. Driver Careless Patrol boys from a nearby school, had given a signal to halt the bus and other traffic, which the operator had either failed to see or ignored. When finally he observed it, she contends, it was necessary for him to apply his brakes too suddenly for proper consideration of the passengers. As a result, Mrs. Banks avers, she was thrown from a standing position to the floor, her back and side coming in contact with the fare-box. The force of her fall the complainant alleges, caused her to suffer severe injuries both externally and internally. These injuries, Mrs. Banks maintains, have impaired her power of locomotion as well as her general health.

Police Take Illicit Gin In Early Morning Raids On Local "Hot Spots" 2ND DEGREE FOR CRANK SLAYING Supreme Court Jury Finde Man Guilty of Beating Woman to Death A verdict of second-degree murder was returned by a District Supreme Court jury in the trial of William Glenn, 45, 209 Four and a-half Street, Southwest, Tuesday. Glenn was convicted of the crank-handle slaying of Mrs. Mary Butler, 38, 320 C Street, Southwest, last June. Although Glenn denied killing the woman he was held following an inquest shortly after her death for grand jury action. The indictment and subsequent conviction following in that order. According to the testimony of sistant United States Attorney Burroughs, Glenn beat the woman with a crank-handle after she refused to continue friendship with him. They declared that she had made this statement to them during the time between April 29, the date of the attack, and June 19 when she died. Defense Theory Explided The theory that the woman's death might have been caused by complications caused by a malady, together with difficulties arising from premature childbirth, were exploded by Dr. C. J. Murphy, deputy coroner. Dr. Murphy followed a Casualty Hospital physician on the stand and testified that an autopsy had disclosed toxemia and exhaustion following a fracture of the leg and a broken neck as the cause of death. Just previous to the deputy corer's testimony, the hospital physician had declared that he could not definitely ascribe the woman's death to the injuries of her head, neck and leg. However with the appearance of other witnesses it was borne out that Glenn and his victim had once been close friends. The case, heard in Criminal Division Number One, was presided over by Justice Oscar R. Luhring.

The Story of a Russian Negro's Rise is Told MOSCOW, U.S.S.R.(By Mall) The story of the rise of a native Russian Negro, Shaban Abah, to a powerful position in the government apparatus, is told in the November 29 issue of the "Moscow Daily News." Abash is a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Transcaucasian Federation, one of the seven constituent republics of the Soviet Union. He is a native of one of the republics which make up this federation—Abkhasia, popularly known as the "Riviera of the Black Sea." Before 1861, Negroes were purchased like cattle in the slave markets of Turkey by Abkasian feudal lords trying to emulate the grandeur of the Sultan. These were the ancestors of the 80 Negro families now scattered over Abkasia, who were "liberated" in 1861. They were given just enough land so that they did not stave to death—when the crops were good. Abash was born heir to an "estate" of about two acres and a hut. Abash was 28 when the revolution reached Abkasia. "I was illerate at the time," he says, "but I had had enough of the titled parasites" "right" to take half of the landless peagents' crops and give nothing—not even a school—in exchange."

ELEVEN FAILURE TO GET PAY DEMORALIZES TEACHING STAFF Downingtown-School Continues Operating Despite Lack of Funds DOWNINGTOWN, Pa., — Pennsylvania stands second among the 48 states of the Union in gross wealth. Industrially it stands at the head of the nation. Yet one finds within its borders a most incongruous situation. Pleading a state of virtual bankruptcy, it has had to default in its financial obligations to several hundred State-aided institutions. One of those seriously crippled is Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural School. Already handicapped by the fact that it has had to admit many of its students either entirely free or at a greatly reduced rate, it now finds itself temporarily without the prop upon which it leans for support—its State appropriation. Its last check from the State was received early in September. Another was due in December, but was not forthcoming. As a result, unpaid bills are piling up; teachers have not received December salaries and the prospect is that January payrolls can not be met. Although the school continues to run, the situation created is demoralizing and great embarrassment is caused to school and faculty by their inability to meet their own obligations promptly. Engineering School at Howard Holds Reception Acting Dean Downing announced that the curricula of the Departments of Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and Architecture of Howard University are so arranged that new students may enter the School of Engineering and Architecture during the second semester of the school year. Registration for the second semester will be held on February 4. More than two hundred high school students, parents and other visitors registered attendance at the mid-year "Open House" of the School of Engineering and Architecture held last Friday.

According to information brought out by the trial in Los Angeles, last week, Seabrun, his mother, Mrs. Larua Calhoun and Willis Dudley, were riding in Dudley Ford when Holmes, driving a heavy Cadillac, tore an intersection at Lomitas and Rodea in Beverly Hills, ignoring the arterial stop. Others in the car were injured by the impact, but the boy was thrown against the frame work of the automobile, suffering bruises, contusion of the forehead, leg and jagged cut on his left hand.

CHRISCO BOTT ANNA MAY WONG the charming little Chinese actress who is starred in the picture, "Chu Chin Chow," which begins a week's run at the Booker T Theatre to- morrow. (Frieder) -:-Lincoln-:- P. T. Barnum, self-styled "Prince Of Humbugs," comes back to a hearty life for the entire week beginning Friday, at the Lincoln Theatre, in the person of Wallace Beery, who plays the matchless showman in "The Mighty Barnum." "The role is perfectly suited to the versatile Beery. The story opens with Barnum's entrance into the sideshow business exactly a hundred years ago when, having acquired a few reptile monstrosities and an aged Negress named Joice Heth, purported to be 160 years old and erstwhile nurse of the infant George Washington, he left his failing Bowery grocery, rented a livery stable and opened Barnum's American Museum. The famous midget, General Tom Thumb and his bride Lavinia, the Cardiff Giant, the Bearded Lady, the Fiji Mermaid, the Woolly Horse and all the rest of the "natural oddities" with which Barnum staggered New York a century ago are also seen. His splurge from the grotesque to the sublime with the sponsoring of the debut of Jenny Lind, the lovely Swedish nightingale, at Castle Garden, plays a big part in the picture. Drama and pathos as only Wallace Beery can portray them makes "The Mighty Barnum" one of the outstanding screen attractions. Adolphe Menjon, Rochelle Hudson and Virginia Bruce form the main supporting cast. ENTIRE WEEK BEGINNING FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1st ENTIRE WEEK BEGINNING FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1st Joseph M.

The film version is kept as close to the letter and spirit of the book as possible.

CAGE FLAG Getback by Virginia State Spurs Bisons to 49-26 Win Over St. Paul Halted momentarily by an unexpected defeat handed them by the Virginia State College Troians, the Howard University basketball courts resumed their fight to retain their championship of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association on the university floor, last Saturday night. Resumption of the march titleward was at the expense of the five representing the St. Paul Normal and Industrial Institute of Lawrenceville, Va. The Tigers used 49-26. Again, as on previous occasions, he Bisons were led to victory by Willie Wynne, last year's fresh- an sensation; Herbie Jones, stel- r first year man from California, and Bootnose Williams, whose ray has shown such an improve- ment over his performances with the Dunbar High School team of st year that he has been stamped one of the Blue and White main- vals in his first season at the Filton school. Pinn Wakes Up Coach Johnnie Burr, still not all-together satisfied with the way his machine has been functioning, was somewhat elated over the awakening of Turkey Pinn, center and last year captain of the Bisons. Pinn, who has been playing basketball of the most mediocre variety thus far this season, came to life to bag a couple of 2-pointers critical times and a like number of charity tosses. Pinn was third highest pointter of the locals, being led by Lynne and Jones with 13 and 8 points respectively. Takes Early Lead The Blue and White went into the lead just before the close of the first ten minutes of play and held it to it until the period ended. he margin of 5 points enjoyed by virtue of their 18-13 first half lead and was not sufficient to cause any neat amount of cheering in the lion camp, however, and Burr admonished his men to "do better or use" in his rest period lecture. The locals returned to the fray to open the gap between them and the Virginians and except for a brief minutes during the first stages of the second half the Bisons were well in front. Menace Bisons Chuck Williams and Butts, who divided six field goals and four foulals equally between them, led the invaders into a spurt that for a time threatened the Hilltoppers. They, with the aid of Jenkins, visiting center, were largely responsible for the battle put up by the Lawrenceville aggregation. **HOWARD** G.F.P. **ST. PAUL** G.F.P. Jones.f. 2 4 G.F.P.

INSULTS RENS; IS NOW WITHOUT JOB White Player Dropped from House of David After "Cracker" Remarks NEW YORK (ANP)—One good basketball player, white, is looking for a job. Reference available through the manager of his former team, the House of David. And thereby hangs a tale. When the House of David team met the Rens down in Newport, Kentucky last week, this particular player thought he was some place else except on the floor with the finest bunch of sportsmen in the world. So he took exception and began calling Fats Jenkins by names which Fats resented. Instead of socking the player in the mouth, which Fats would have done in days gone by, the mellowed player merely reported the incident to Manager Illige during the half. At the end of the game the manager of the House of David outfit talked with the players and asked Illige about this game. The manager of the Reng mentioned the incident on the floor. When the two teams met at Dayton, Ohio, the offending player was absent and the word was passed to the colored team that he had been summarily dismissed because of his lack of good taste. Rens-Celtic Clash CHICAGO (ANP)--The world champion Regina Simmons will play team and the Original Celtics will meet in a game at the 132nd Regiment Armory here Friday night, February 8. NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD Armstrong Cops Another to Hold Lead in Conference Cage Play Generals Overtake Early Lead to Garner 38-23 Win Over Douglass High School Five; Latter Suffers From Close Officiating Here The Armstrong High School basketball team, defending champions of the South Atlantic High School Conference, continued its winning ways by defeating the Douglass High School quintet of Baltimore yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon in the Terrell Junior High School gymnasium. The score was 38-23. The visitors went into a 5-point lead at the outset of the game. Two field goals and a foul netted them their tallies before the Genera's were able to register. The first quarter was all Douglass, the Orange and Blue lads appearing to be slow getting themselves into a playing mood. DUNBAR TRIUMPHS OVER MAYFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 5 Poets Score Overwhelming Victory At Fredericks- Hall Out The absence of Joe Hall from the local line-in probably had much $t_0$ do with the manner in which the General went about those early minutes of the contest. The sterling center of the 1933 aggregation and last year's all-round mainstay watched the game in civilian clothes. A reported injury accounted for his absence, an absence which in those early minutes was keenly felt. Watts, who was acting captain in the place of the idle Hall, was appropriately the first Teitech to register. He caged a neat run-up shot to start the ball roll. Thereafter Armstrong seemed fully capable of handling the situation. Visitors Handicapped Butler, Pierson and Green were the principal factors in the Baltimore's attack. That trio tossed in 11.7 and 5 points, respectively, to garner the total of markers for their cause. It might be said to the credit of the visitors that their game might have been better had they not been handicapped by the Washington style of officiating. It is an understood fact that local officials lay more stress on the rules prohibiting personal contact than do most bodies of officials. Two of their mainstays, Pinder and Lewis went out via the personal foul rule. St. Augustine Noses Out Holy Redeemers. 13-10 At the Terrell gym Tuesday, the St. Augustine quintet handed the Holy Redeemers their third defeat of the season, 13-10.

DUNBAR TRIUMPHS OVER MAYFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 5 Poets Score Overwhelming Victory At Fredericksburg; Count 48-12 FREDERICKSBURG, Va.—With Fenwick and Cupid leading the attack, Coach Perry Jacob's Dunbar High School basketers soundly trounced a Black and White Trojan five of the Mayfield High School here last Monday night. The Poets emerged on the long end of a onesided 48-12 count. Fenwick, the big visiting center, was easily the outstanding individual player of the contest, negotiating nine field goals and two charity tosses. Cupid's five 2-pointers for a total of 10 points, were next best. Jim Wright led the local towers with four double-deckers. He thus accounted for eight points, twice as much as the remainder of his teammates were able to drop through the pay-off. Dunbar Superior The Washingtonians showed a marked superiority over the Trojans. Twenty-two field goals as against five for Mayfield proved to be the margin of difference. Mayfield counted twice from the 15-foot line and Dunbar four times. The win gave Dunbar her second of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference. She therefore has a .500 percentage having dropped engagements with Armstrong and Doug'ass and having trimmed Cardozo. MAYFIELD G.F.P. DUNBAR G.F.P.

The New Negro Alliance quint made its initial appearance of the season by halting the fast Armstrong Night High School Five, last Thursday, 54-47, on the Armstrong court. The victors were in front at half-time, 34-22. A spurt in the second quarter carried the N.N.A.'s well into the front, never to be headed. Rough and tumble play marked the second half, which found all of the visitors guilty of at least three personal fouls apiece.

State To Win Over Hampton, 40-37 Louis Cundiff, Trojan First-year Man is Outstanding Star of State's Victory Over Seaside Aggregation; Coach "Sunny Jim" Barnes Shares Spotlight BASEBALL MOGULS HOPE FOR BETTER 1935 CAMPAIGN Umpire. Problem. Among Many Discussed at Annual New York Meeting If the first meeting of the National Association of Negro Baseball Clubs proved anything, it is that the club owners have passed the experimental stage and are entering into broader and more business-like fields. They tackled an eight point program, discussed and disposed of many details, the results of which are compelled to attrack the attention and respect of the baseball public and players. Much emphasis was placed on the recommendations dealing with umpires. This report was submitted by a committee consisting of A'ex Pompez, Ed Bolden and C. W. Posey. It provides that umpires must make written application to the secretary at 2501 Bedford Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa.; from these applications, eight arbiters will be selected by vote of members at the next meeting to be held sometime in February; it further specifies that the chief umpire is responsible for box scores being mailed to the secretary immediately after games are completed; and imposes a fine of $5.00 for failure to perform this duty. Hired By League Provisions of this excellent piece of work places the umpire in direct employ of the association, to which he is responsible for the performance of each assignment and by whom he is paid semi-monthly. While committees did the remarkable job of working out regulations for owners, managers, players, and umpires, it was the chirman who submitted resolutions to incorporate the body, to earn money for the association and to extend the prestige of organized baseball into western territory. Seek East-West Endorsement These propositions stimulated that the East-West game will be endorsed by all owners and that 50 per cent of the net proceeds be turned over to the Association treasury; that the Association enter a team in the Denver Post tournament—and whatever cash prizes won be divided between the Association, owners, and players; that all promotions endorsed by the Association, such as the games played in Yankee Stadium last year, for which the Association files must supply information, be required to pay a fixed percentage of the gross receipts into the Association treasury. The members buckled right down to work and faced hard, cold facts. They reviewed the major mistakes of 1934, criticized and commended—and simply talked snap throughout the two-day session. Miner Junior Varsity Falls Victim to Armstrong With Joe Hall on the idle list, it fell to the letter of the other two "big guns" of the Armstrong High School basketball team to lead their mates to a one-sided 40-17 victory over the Junior Varsity of the Miner Teachers' College.

Bosswell, vice president; J. D. Steward, secretary and magister; L. C. Tull, assistant secretary and treasurer and publicity director. The Association adjourned to meet next year at Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo. HAMPTON INSTITUTE—Two last-minute shots by Louis Cundiff, freshman forward, gave Virginia State a 40-37 victory over the Hampton Pirates last Saturday in what was undoubtedly one of the fiercest court battles of the season. Cundiff was a star on last year's Addison High School five of Roanoke. Replete with thrilling moments, brilliant shooting, and close guarding, the game furnished for the fans who crowded the Hampton gym 40 frantic moments. Cundiff, who proved to be the hero of the contest, was high scorer with a total of 13 points. He was closely trailed by his front-line mate, Griffin and Larney Owens of Hampton Coach Barnes, State mentor, pulled a move that proved to be the factor responsible for clinching the victory, when late in the contest, he took out Cundiff and Borican for a two-minute's rest. Hampton Scores First Hooker broke the ice thirty-three seconds after the start when he sank a beautiful shot from just inside the center line after dribbling half the length of the floor. Free tosses made good by Wilson and Owens gave Hampton a total of four points, but the lead was soon wiped out when Borican and Cundiff tossed in shots from the foul line, and Smith dropped one from the center of the floor to tie the count. From then until late in the game the Trojans held their lead. Shortly after the start of the second half, State went into a comfortable lead, drawing away to 28-21. Hampton pulled itself together, however, and as the period drew into its later stages the Seasiders forged to the front. A 34-31 advantage was shortlived, however, as Captain Borican of the Trojans dropped in a long looper to bring the count to 34-33. Strategy Works Then Barnes pulled his strategic move, sending Cole in for Cundiff and Payne in for Borican. Hardly were the two State players able to don their sweat clothes when Barnes sent them back, and a timely substitution it was. Smythe, plucky little State guard, seemed to strain every nerve as he shot from behind the cetner line to make the score 36-35. Wilson dropped a foul shot to give Hampton a two-point lead, but with only two minutes to play, Cundiff tied the score. A few seconds later he added another long goal goal, and Griffin added a foul. The last minute fond the Hampton combine fighting vainly as their shots time and again found the basket only to have the ball roll out again. DOWNIE BOYS BOW AS GIRLS WIN Loser DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—The past week-and saw the four-game winning streak of Coach Lewis's Downingtown Industrial School passers abruptly halted. The Papertown lasses, however, managed to kick away two more victories, as they prepped for their first M3A contest with Storer College next Saturday night. Against Coach Lawrence Williams's Y Girls at Harrisburg on Friday night the Downie Maids pulled out a 25-19 decision. The going was rough and close from start to finish. Mil James gave a fine exhibition of guarding in holding the Y Girls' star, J. Allen, to two field goals. Defesta Orange 5 Pat Patterson, former Temple U. and Tribune Girls athlete, brought her Orange, N.J. Y Girls have Saturday night and saw them handed a 25-14 reverse. Clarice Griffith got 8 points to take honors in this direction. Al Bradley and Ray Howard again topped the Downie scorers, though Gee Brown also did good work. Doc Marshall's Cavaliers, champions of the Harrisburg Y Lakers, stopped the Lewisians. 27-29. The latter, with three Harrisburg lads in their line-up, were out to win before their townfolks, but could not quite make the grade, Webb. THIRTEEN ARMSTRONG BEATS CARDOZO; FACES ARCH RIVAL Clerks Bow, 36-12, After Tech Rally; Poets in Game Tomorrow Experience and sharper shooting eyes proved the undoing of the much-improved Cardozo High School basketball quint, Monday, in the inter-high school series game against Armstrong High School's court team at the former's gymnasium. The Generals emerged victorious by a 36-12 count. With their defense holding the Clerks' score to a lowly seven points, all of which were flipped in by Flatney Marshall, during the first half and two less during the second period, the Westmoreland-Coached aggregation shot with accuracy to amass the score three times the size of the Clerks. After sticking close to their rivals' score in the opening period, the Clerks, although fighting valiantly, never were able to successfully halt the Armstrong onslaught on the cords. The lefty-handed shots of Maurice Jackson, the jump shots of Patterson Tech center, who replaced the injured Joe Hall in the starting line-up, and the quick running baskets of the diminutive Watts, allike proved puzzling to the Clerk guards. While the sharpshooting trio were sinking baskets with the rapidity of clock ticks, the Clerks, conversely, were missing as many attempts. Dunbar Tomorrow Marshall, the only scoring threat in the Cardozo line-up, added another twin-pointer, and Raleigh Hawkins, stellar guard, contributed a floor basket and a toss from the free throw line to bring the Clerks' count to an even dozen. Seven other Cardozo players went scoreless. Still undefeated in scholastic circles, the Armstrong quint will play Dunbar tomorrow (Friday) in the second encounter with the Poets. In the last engagement, the Generals eked out a 27-24 victory over the First-Streeters in the last minute of play. A win in the coming game will virtually clinch both the city and South Atlantic High School court championship for the Orange and Blue. ARMSTRONG G. F. P. CARDOZO G. F. P. Watt.e. f. 2 2 G. F. f.

Consider 2nd H.U.-Miner Basketball Game The probability of a second meeting between the Haowaad University and Miner Teachers' College basketball teams became nearer a certainty early this week as officials of the athletic departments of the two schools went into a huddle. Already two conferences have been held between John H. Burr and Clarence W. Davis, coach and physical education department head, respectively and Harold D. Martin, athletic director at the Teachers' College. It is understood the men discussed, among other things, the likelihood of a return game. The Minerites defeated Howard in the first game two weeks ago. Franklin and Cal Washington, an ex-Downie, were just a bit too good. Poke Banks and LU-LU Slaughter copped the laurels for the Schoolboys. ```markdown ``` NEW AND MODERN IN EVERY DETAIL FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE Call FOURTEEN VA. STATE TRIPS HOWARD: SCORES SURPRISE WIN Trojans Outplay Bisons in Halting March to Second CIAA Title PETERSBURG, Va. — The Howard University Bisons found a clumping block in their march toward a second Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association basketball championship when they arrived here last Tuesday night. The block was in the form of a determined group of athletes representing the Virginia State College, located here. Prepared for the arrival of the 1994 champions by Coach Sunny Jim Barnes, the Trojans were at the peak of their form in winning, 46-34. The Orange and Blue went ahead in the opening minutes of play when Griffin sank a neat run-up shot from just inside the 15-foot line. Borican, captain and center, added another 2-pointer and then copped a free throw to give the Virginians a 5-0 lead. At this point Herb Jones, the California flash, counted an archer from a little past the foul line. Nip-and-Tuck The contest took on a nip-and-tuck aspect shortly thereafter and the teams battled on pretty much even until near the close of the first half. In the waning minutes State pulled into a narrow lead. Coming back the Blue and White showed a marked improvement over its first period play, Wynne and Jones began functioning and Boot Williams tossed in a snowbird. But State was determined not to have this just another Howard night. Freshman Stars Headed by Griffin and their star freshman, Louis Cundiff, the Trojan players pulled themselves into a machine of power and resistance. Smythe likewise played an important part in the State scoring and defense. His numerous interceptions of passes took the fight out of the lads from the Capital and as the same drew into its closing stages the margin between winner and loser was widened. Griffin's 19 points led the individual scorers. Wynne and Jones were next counting 12 and 10 points to actively VA. STATE G. F. P. HOWARD G. F. P. J.

The final score was 42 to 32. Knight, of Tuskeege, brought the great audience to its feet with his spectacular shooting. The Tiger ace tallied 12 points in a scoring marathon against Yancey, Rens' high point man, who tallied 14 digits. The game was featured all the way from a local angle by the play of Knight and Robinson for the locals, but the Renaissance team passed phenomenally and penetrated the Tiger defense to hold a fairly safe lead all the way. The final outcome of the game was never certain until the final whistle blew, for the end of the game with the Aceries coming out of the control on the long end of a 22-19 score. "I took up this game," the hopeless novice said noologically to his cadency, "merely to practice self-control." "You ought to have gone in for the same, sir."

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 2, 1935 UNION TRIUMPHS OVER MORGAN IN THRILLER Bears Succumb to 51-47 Verdict in Rough-and-Tumble Clash By Al Vessells RICHMOND Va—In a thrill- packed and hard contested game, the Virginia, Union University "Panthers" defeated the Morgan College "Bears" here at the Com- munity Gymnasium, Friday, by the score of 51 to 47. The Bears hit their stride in the first few minutes of play and Sowell, Morgan, forward, broke the ice with a two-pointer. It was followed closely by one from Simpson, Morgan forward. The Panthers put on pressure until they were leading 7-6. From this time on, the score see-sawed with many flashes of brilliance by both teams. Entering the second half trailing 25-17, the Baltimore boys got organized and took the lead 36 to 35. The Panthers tied the score at 41-41 and although the Unionites were not overtaken again, it was "anybody's game" until the time-keeper's whistle ended the fracas with Union on the long end of a 51 to 47 score. The game was rather pough as was evidenced by the fact that 42 personal fouls were called and 5 men banished from the floor. Sowell, flashy Morgan forward, was the most outstanding player and scored 19 points. Davenport, Union, guard, scored 15 points. # The Line-up | UNION | G.F.P. | MORGAN | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Whitaker.f. | 3 1 | Simpson.f. | 4 0 8 | | Howard.f. | 2 0 | Sowell.f. | 9 1 9 | | Warfield.f. | 2 4 | Lumpkin.p. | 1 1 9 | | Davenport.f. | 6 3 | Troupe.g. | 8 3 15 | | Jones.g. | 1 1 | Porsey.g. | 8 0 0 | | Perguson.g. | 0 1 | Crawford.g. | 1 0 2 | | Lee.f. | 0 0 | Yearwood.f. | 0 0 0 | | Wilson.c. | 0 0 | Drake.c. | 0 0 1 | | Colburn.g. | 0 0 | Lockwood.g. | 0 0 0 | | Mitchell.g. | 4 2 11 | Hawkins.g. | 0 0 0 | Totals: 19 13 51 Totals: 20 7 42 Referee-Taylor Armstrong Niters Win and Lose on Basketball Court After winning a close game from the Marion A.C., 26-21, the Armstrong Niters dropped a onesided game to the fast stepping Scholastics, 42-22. The Niters showed fine passing in both games, but poor shooting and defense. However, Coach Williams will put his charges through some stiff workouts for Thursday's game with the Negro Alliance and Saturday's game with Howard Junior Varsity. Harris, Bush, and Jackson continued to led the scorers for the niters, while Freeden took honors for the Marion A.C., and Briscoe with 13 and Logan with 11 points led for the Scholastics. Northeast A. C. Names Officers; Brown to Coach William (Turkey Breast) Brown, former Armstrong High School star all-round athlete was elected coach of the Northeast A.C., for the enquiry year at its first meeting of the season last Thursday night. Other officers elected are: E. Crutchfield, president; J. Holland, vice president; Leroy Gray, secretary; R. Carroll, treasurer; M. Chambers, financial manager and E. R. Williams, business manager. Aspiring member, and old men are urged to be present at the future meetings of the club to be held each Thursday at 1363 H Street, Northeast. Wiley Cats Spring 187 Points on Mary Allen MARSHALL, Texas — Wiley College defeated Mary Allen College in two games, last week, defeating the visitors, 60 to 32. Friday and taking their measure 127-27 the next night. The visiting cagers were helpless in the arms of the powerful Wiley Cats. Byrd, Wiley guard, sank 34 field goals for high point scoring honors in both games.

Tech Wins Another The Armstrong High School basketball team continued its winning ways by taking the measure of the Cardozo, A. C., in the school gymnasium, Wednesday. The General's, ahead at the half, 29-12, finished on the long end of a 52-36 margin. Barry Farms Wins Award Barry Farms Playground, last week, was awarded the first prize for the best efforts in civic standards by the Women's City Club Georgetown and Lincoln Park Playgrounds, both white; were second and third, respectively. 4 Negroes Named to AAU.Head's All-America Track Team Ralph Metcalfe Shares Lead With Glenn Harding, Louisiana White Boy; Each Gains 3 Major Places; Owens, Peacock, White Also Named NEW YORK—Ralph Metcalfe, veteran speed star of Marquette University, shares honors with Gleen Hardin, Louisiana State white boy, in the All-America track and field selections of Daniel J. Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Union and noted authority on the cinder sport. The selections were announced early this week. Metcalfe and Hardin are tied with three places each in the national rankings of Ferris. The Marquette athlete is the choice for the 60, 100 and 200 meters events. Hardin is named as the kingpin of the 400-meters run and the 200-meters low hurdles and 400-meters hurdles. No Collegiate 60-Meters The Louisiana star takes one more place in collegiate ranks than does Metcalfe. This is doubtlessly caused by the absence of a 60-meters event in the collegiate program. Metcalfe, also rated as best in the 100 and 200 meters, would in all probability rule the 60-meters sprint if one were run. Hardin, on the other hand, is favored by the presence of all three of his favorite events in the collegiate circle. Three other Negroes gained places on the "all" teams. Eulene Peacock, crack all-round ace of Temple University, who captured the pentathlon honors on the All-America team, suffered the same fate a sided Metcalfe. There is no collegiate pentathlon. White Takes Decathlon Next to the pentathlon, however, is the decathlon and that position was won on the All-College team by Delbert White, crack sepian performer of the Pittsburgh (Kansas) Teachers' College. Jesse Owens, Ohio State freshman who established himself as a reputable broad-jumper while still a high school boy in Cleveland, copped the honors as ranking leaper.

TECH NITERS LOSE ONE, WIN ONE After losing a 54-47 decision to the New Negro Alliance five, led by Windy Wallace, Lanky Jones and Joe Sewell, the Armstrong Night School basketball team regained its winning stride by defeating the Lakeland Mohawk A.C., 56-22. Wallace led the scorers in the opening game by counting 25 points. Jones added 10 points and Sewell, 7. The scoring honors for the losers went to Wallace and Williams. Twelve point goals were gathered by this pair. The Lakelanders, however, fell victims to the accurate shooting of the Tech lads. The visitors chalked up the first counter but this lead was soon snuffed out and Armstrong remained ahead for the rest of the game. At the half the scarcity stood Armstrong, 2:1 Lakeland, 3. Led by Bush, who annexed 12 points in the total column, the entire local team took part in the scoring. Briscoe and Walls, with 8 and 6 points, respectively, were high point men for the Maryandees. Doubts Cleared About Joe Louis Fight CHICAGO (ANP)—Ever since Jo₀ Louis, heavyweight, knocked out Lee Ramage, of California in the eighth round December 14, there have been disputes as to who would have won the fight if it had gone 10 rounds. The argument was created because one local daily gave Ramage every round until the knockout. Last week the Illinois Boxing Commission made public the score cards of the judges and referee. One judge had Lois' leading 37 to 33; the other, 38 to 32, and the referee had scored for Ramage 36 to 34. Louis had therefore scored 109 points to 101 for Ramage and had he kept the pace would have won the fight even if it had gone the limit. Louis fights Ramage again in California, February 22.

Jr The cadets of Armstrong High School in their determination to capture the annual competitive drill this year, are drilling overtime and in some cases at night. The companies that desire to drill at night go through their manual in the gymnasium, when it is free from the night school classes. Although Armstrong did not win the drill last year, the Technicians are out to give stiff competition to their biggest rival, Dunbar this year. Cardozo and Dunbar so far have not held any night drill's. The new practice is rumored to have started when Armstrong Cadets were put under the instruction of Major Yorke. Wins Squad Competition Company E. of Armstrong, under the command of Captain Robert Young, won first place in the squad drill last week. Corporal Charles Byrd, led the squad to victory. Members of the prized squad were Elvin Sheppard, Thomas Flaniger, Thomas Byrd, John Mason, Nathaniel, Mosby, Alexander Irving and William Ross. Great Comeback Armstrong made a tremendous comeback in 1933 when it walked away with first, second and third prizes of the annual competitive drill. The change took place after a transfer of instructors. Major Yorke was transferred from Dunbar to Armstrong and Colonel Atwood from Armstrong to Dunbar. The drill this year will be one of the closest in years, it is predicted, and Cardozo, the dark horse of the past, may pull one out of the bag, as the Clerks to₃ are doing some fine work in preparing for the drill. So, no longer does the old proverb about the early bird catching the worm exist, but the late bird may catch the bacon Student Clubs Give One Night Cabaret Washington younger social set are anxiously anticipating the much talked of one-night cabaret which is being sponsored by the Federation of Student Clubs at the Masonic Temple, Saturday.

As the season for matriculation draws nigh, it is always customary for this column to offer congratulations to that fortunate number, who will on some specific occasion during the week, step up and receive a bit of parchment that will be symonymous with successful accomplishment and achievement in the realm of scholasticism. Some of these graduates will continue in quest of higher academic studies—others will be thrown on the tender mercies of a struggling world of humanity. But, whatever your future course may be, it would be wise to remember that there are two primary attributes that all must acquire or retain; and they are, Determination and Perseverance. For a while you may "find the going tough" and "the journey rough"—but in the end, success will crown your achievements if you hold stedfast to the goal that you have set for yourself, Remember that— "The lives of great men, Reached and kept.

Well here goes. Joe Beal was seen hanging around Tech on Tuesday with W.N. He must think that Leon Braxton is really going to give up Fredericka H. Sorry, Beal ole pal, but Leon has her now....Leska McQuinn is seen these days around William Kenny, of Baltimore, Since little Kyles is jiving the popular Miss Stewart then Leska is out in the cold again....Well, I notice that Esther Webb will hold a get-together-party instead of a kiddies' party on February 1. She is slightly older....Catch on? Since Charles Byrd won first prize in the squad drill at Tech, his noble superior officer, Robert Young has become slightly swell-headed. Well all luck goes to the higher-ups, you know—Notice that Joseph Allen goes over Southwest now to see a certain young Miss, instead of his friend over in Northeast. So there is just another downfall. Armband fever has taken hold of another victim. She is none other than Harrist "Stormy weather" Caves, and her heart-ache is Major Carroll Burton. Well Miss, I hope that you will have some good luck before the drill this year. Notice that Speakie has his ups and downs when he confronts Lizzie of Tenth Street these nights.

See you next week. sources that Danny Goodrich is carrying a burning torch for a certain young lady with dimples... I heard that Stone Jones was really that way about Olga Gray. I wonder if he stands a chance?... All right Yvonne, we are giving you the cheap note that you like—Yvonne Noah, the biggest of the "elite five" says that her love in N.Y. is going to commit suicide if he doesn't see her real soon...

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 2. 1985 ee . to give YOU service i ee aaa) Ww: wish that it were possible for our patrons to learn from per- sonal observation exactly what takes place when it begins snowing. Storms frequently break in the night. An alarm is sounded in the homes of more than 500 experienced men in all parts of the city. Each man reports immediately to a given point with a definite duty to perform. Within an hour's time the more than 200 miles of trackage is under the watchful care of these skilled work- men, Thirty-six powerful sweepers emerge from nine strategically lo cated points throughout the city fol- lowed by scrapers or plows mounted on trucks to push the snow back to the curb line. It is a constant battle—not only during the life of the storm but fre- quently for two or three days there- after—as long as there is the SLIGHTEST danger, either from ICE FORMATION, LINKS trom BROKEN SKID CHAINS or other fruits of the storm which will ob- struct the free operation of switches and may (and frequently does) CLOSE the SLOT in the center of the track, thereby blocking the serv- ice until the obstruction can be re- moved. MARS. McGUIRE H.U. LEAGUE SPEAKER Mrs. Virginia Richardson Mc- Guire, president of the Distric Branch, N.A.A.C.P., spoke at How- ard University, ‘Thursday last, un- der the auspices of the Women’s League. i In her talk to the young people Mrs, McGuire outlined the pur- pose of organization’ of all kinds, and after telling the story of the origin and purpose of the N.A.A.- C.P., urged the students to accept the responsibility of taking up civie activity on leaving school, “If there is no activity where the need exists, then create that activity yourself,” she said. Defining formal and informal education, the speaker declared that the really great. need was for that education which. enabled at individual to understand the needs of his community, and to be able to meet such needs. “Most important,” said Mrs. Me- Guire, was “the development of a definite plan, followed by concert- ed action.” “A program should be followed through to the end at any cost,” said the speaker, who voiced the opinion that the race had not produced enouzh real martyrs to convince the world that the black man was willing to pay any price for compietz freedom, . “The group needs education and economic snfficiency ax distingnish- ed from economic ‘indenendence.,” Mrs, McGuire continued, “and the people must be educated through the coming generation of leaders, to the effective use of the ballot, and to the necessity of courageous Jeadership.” 1. 0. of St. Luke News Maggie L.

Deaths Com- pared With Local Rate |, uy yp a An illuminating side light on Washington's pending project for the removal of its disgraceful al- ley houses in its relation to the high tuberculosis death rate of the nation’s capital city, now third from highest of all the larger cities, was thrown by Dr. Kendal! Emerson, managing director of the National Tuberculosis Association, ina statement made during the na- tional housing conference early this week, “From its universal distribution tuberculosis furnishes one of the standard tests of the health of the community,” said Dr. Emerson. The death rate per hundred thou- sand of the population of the en- tire country from this disease has ‘been reduced from about 200 in 1900 to iess than 60 in 1938, and it Wil probably go below 57 for last year.” Dr. Emerson called attention to the fact that in the congested slum areas of New York "City where houses and living conditions are such as to deprive people of sun- light, air and proper sanitation the tuberculosis death rate still remains very high, He referred -especialy to the Harlem section where a large Negro population is crowded into old houses many of which are insanitary and with go restriction to the number living in each house. This is comparable to the alley sec- tions of Washington used by the Poorer portion of. the population, the high mortality of which is shown graphicaly by the spot map of Washington's _ tuberculosis deaths as published by. the Vocal Pabivevioats* Aadbolatien.

In her petition Mrs. Tolliver, who is ill in Freedmen's Hospital as a result of a beating allegedly administered by her husband, declared that her husband threw all of the furniture out of their home and then threw her out and forbade her to return. As a result of the rough treatment she told the court that her health has been impaired and she will have to undergo an operation. She averts that her husband is employed at the Government Printing Office at a salary of $150 a month. She stated that on one occasion she returned home unexpectedly and found her husband and another woman in a compromising position.

FLIM-FLAM QUEEN FACES TRIAL (Continued from page 1) cording to police and is one of the cleverest film-flam artists in the country with a police record in nearly every state. Flim-Flam Artist The crime for which she is being tried was committed on June 29, 1932. On that day she allegedly confided Mrs. Beatrice Williams, 1731 Willard Street, out of $1,523. According to the story as related by Mrs. Williams before Justice Oscar R. Luhring, she met Miss Stickney on the street. The young woman introduced herself as a stranger in Washington seeking a room in a respectable family. Mrs. Williams said she told Miss Stickney that a room would be vacant in her apartment in a few days and she would be glad to accommodate her. Miss Stickney visited the apartment. On the following day Mrs. Williams said she received a telephone message from Miss Stickney who stated that she was in a telegraph office downtown with an order for $600. She asked Mrs. Williams to come to the office and bring her bank book as a means of identification. Accomplice Enters Mrs. Williams said she went to the telegraph office, but did not see Miss Stickney. As she left the office she met the young woman on the street. As they were walking, Miss Stickney pointed out another woman in the act of picking up an envelope. Miss Stickney accosted the woman and on opening the envelope they saw apparently several bills of large denominations. The two women told Mrs. Williams that they would have to divide the money three ways, but they needed change for the $1,000 bills. Mrs. Williams then went to the Post Office where she attempted $t_0$ withdraw $1,000 in postal savings. The clerk at the office refused to comply with her demands the first time, but on a second visit he gave her the money. Mrs. Williams also stated that she went to a bank and withdrew over $500. Women Disappear She again met the two women who told her that they would take the money to a "Lawyer Sullivan" who would see that it was divided equally in three parts. Mrs. Williams consented to this. Neither of the women ever returned. She reported the matter to police headquarters and identified the picture of Miss Stickney and Miss Annie King, the alleged accomplice in the fraud. Detective Jones was put on the case. Miss Stickney led him a merry chase through the middle west and when she doubled back to New York he stayed on her trail. He was about to arrest her in Chicago last December when she suddenly disappeared only to turn up in Detroit. On reaching the latter city he found that she was locked up on a charge of flim-flaming a person in that city out of $200. On the stand this week Miss Stickney denied the charge and said she was arrested for soliciting an officer of the law. Wanted in Other States He came east with his quarry last December and placed the charge of larceny by trickery against her. He is still on the trail of the woman's accomplice, Miss King, who is said to be somewhere in Washington passing for white and living with a Spaniard. Miss Stickney is an attractive young brown skinned woman and was dressed in a neat winter outfit of grey. Police said she is wanted in a dozen states on charges of flim-flam and on her release here other states have requested that she be turned over to them to face trial. The trial will be completed sometime today (Thursday). Men's Day Observed at Asbury M.E. Church Men's Day was observed at both the morning and evening services last Sunday at Asbury M.E. Church. The program was under the auspices of the Men's Club of which E. R. Shephard is president. At the morning service Dr. S. L. Laurin presided. The speaker was the Rev. James Shera Montgomery, chaplain of the U. S. House of Representatives, who was introduced by the Rev. R. M. Williams, pastor. The Rev. Mr. Montgomery's subject was "Greatness in leaders are attained through hardships" The evening service was well attended and presided over by Dr. W. H. Jackson. The principal speaker was Dr. W. J. Thompkins, Recorder of Deeds. Dr. Thompkins spoke on the "Health situation as it affects the Negro in the District of Columbia." He particularly emphasized the importance of establishing health centers in Negro communities. Others who spoke were J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks; Perry W. Howard and George W. Hayes of New Orleans University. The musical portion of the program was rendered by the male chorus under the direction of Prof. Worthy Johnson with Ferrell Gibbs and M Gordon, guest soloist. Charles R. Gross, chairman of the committee on arrangements was assisted by Otto Scruggs, Arthur Brown, Lawrence Edwards, Thomas F. Thomas, Clarence Brooks, Dr. W. H. Jackson, Percy Roy, Dr. S. L. McLaurin and E. R. Shephard. Capital View Citizens Endorse Repair Shop Bill At recent meeting of the Capital View Citizens Association, W. O. McDonnald asserted that the powers of the Commissioners should be decreased instead of increased. In this connection, the Association endorsed the transferal of the control of the Repair Shop to the Board of Education. The need of bus service through Capital View, and of a street light at the southwest corner of Fifth-third and East Capital Streets. Southeast were again emphasized by the president, B. T. Stewart, who stated that such bus service had been granted in a community where the need is not nearly so urgent. In connection with the light proposal, he remarked that recently a Capital View citizen was felled with five blows from an unknown man, which situation would no doubt have been eliminated had there been sufficient light. By common consent, it was decided to communicate with proper authorities on said utilities, requesting above. Cooperation of William A. Roberts, District Peoples Council, is being sought in this matter. BAR GROUP TOLD 500 BABIES HERE DIE NEEDLESSLY Jr. W. J. Thompkins Stress es Health Needs of District at Meeting Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds, delivered an address to the Washington Bar Association, Thursday evening, at the Musolit Club. He said, that due to the lack of adequate public health facilities in the Nation's Capital, 500 babies less than a year old, die needlessly every year for want of properly equipped Well Baby Stations. Dr. Thompkins discussed generally the whole matter of the public health needs together with the other phases of the expenditure of appropriations by the District Government for the public welfare as it affects colored citizens. Taking the definite position that the health of any city is dependent upon that city's disease prevention program, and that disease is no respector of persons or localities, Dr. Thompkins asserted that disease advened airight might transmit its germs from the meanest slum at one end of the city to that most pretentious community at the other. The speaker also discussed the antiquated methods employed locally in tuberculosis diagnosis and reported 2,300 known cases in existence here. The Recorder reported further the generally improved conditions of his office indicating that the work of the office is current, that the revising of the Lot and Square System is expected to be completed in the next two years, and that the proposed new schedule of recording fees together with needed appropriations from Congress would result in the earning of a 30 per cent profit to the government from the Recorder of Deeds' Office. A new building site in Judiciary Square is one of the Recorder's objectives, in his efforts to render a superior recording service. Urging the attorneys to be vigilant in demanding proportionate benefits out of the appropriations of public moneys, Dr. Thompkins reviewed the local municipal employment situation and showed just how far under the rightful quota, were the number of colored persons employed in the Sowerage Department, at the District jail, in the Fire Department, Police Department, in the Public Libraries, United States Attorneys Office, and the Corporation Counsel's Office, and insisted that only through an unrelenting fight for the rightful representation in these places could colored citizenry of Washington ever hope to gain them, Thurman L. Dodson, presided, and Perry W. Howard responded for the association, and a committee headed by Domingo Lanaue to cooperate in the fight against the bill to increase the powers of the commissioners was named.

COURT AWARDS $30 MONTHLY TO WIFE OF S.H. KEETS Mate of Real Estate Man to Receive Payments on Cox Order An order requiring Samuel H. Keets, real estate operator with offices at 915 U Street, Northwest, to pay his wife, Mrs. Lumina N. Keets, $20 monthly alimony was signed by Justice Joseph W. Cox in equity branch of the District Supreme Court, Friday. The order calls for payments on the sixteenth day of each month. Mrs. Keets filed suit last October against her husband whom she charged with desertion and misconduct. She named Miss Phyllis Anne Hodge, 601 M Street, Northwest, as co-respondent, alleging that the girl was even at that time living with Mr. Keets at a hotel operated by him. Miss Hodge was called the manager of the house which is located in the 1800 block Thirteenth Street, Northwest. Keets Denies The realtor, in his answer, denied the accusations of his wife and asserted that the separation in which they were then living was one of several which had occurred during their lives, the first of which took place more than 20 years ago when Mrs. Keets allegedly entered into an illicit affair with another man. Justice Cox's order also requires Mr. Keets to permit his wife to continue occupation of the two rooms at 617 Florida Avenue, Northwest, where she now lives. The house is one of several pieces of property owned by the defendant. Mrs. Keets is not compelled to pay rent at that place. T.B. HEAD URGES AID FOR NEGROES T.B. HEAD URGES AID FOR NEGROES (Continued from page 1) Thompkins, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, who has been directing a campaign against the common practice of city officials of ignoring the Negro race's plight as a prey of the dreal disease. The statements attributed to the eminent physician are included in two articles published recently by a local daily newspaper. The releases are of an anti-tuberculosis nature and are obviously meant to influence the incoming administration of the District Health Department. In them, Dr. White sets up a program for a general improvement of local health conditions, particularly those involving the inadequate tuberculosis-fighting facilities. He lays an unusual amount of emphasis on the situation as it affects Washington's colored population. Centralize Offices Together with an attack on the 27-year-old law governing the supposed control of tuberculosis, which he describes as deplorably ineffective, and a recommendation for centralization of offices responsible for curtailing the malady, Dr. White makes the following revelations: "Whenever our high tuberculosis death rate in Washington is mentioned someone is sure to bring up the part played by the colored population. It is true that the colored race suffers a higher tuberculosis death rate than the white race. One of the severest indulgences that can be brought against our present system is that it has done practically nothing for them. "We have probably the best educated colored population in the world and there are good hospitalization facilities. But there seems to have been no recognition of the racial susceptibility to this dreaded disease, and the colored people have been given only the same hahazard attention that has been re- NOTICE!

TELEPHONE and find out! The Chrysapenke and Potomac Telephone Company of Washington D. C. Met. 100 By Bernard Braxton By Bernard Braxton The women members of the Self-Help Cooperatives under the District Emergency Relief Administration have taken the lead in productive activities. In December nearly 200 women spent 10,500 working hours in the cooperatives' sewing rooms. They worked from three to five hours a day, several days each week. According to the December report of Owen Woodruff, director of self-help, a number of women working in five sewing rooms made the following articles: Over 200 girls' and ladies' dresses, 864 sheets, 1,219 towels, 904 pillow slips, 20 sets of children's underwear, 31 quilts, 24 mattress covers, 74 pillows, 4 dresser scrubs, 10 laundry bags, 15 pairs of bloomers and 50 aprons. Two Receive Grants These goods were made from raw materials supplied by the Federal Surplus. Relief Corporation. Over 12,000 yards of cloth and 3,000 pounds of cotton have been allotted to the 15 self-help groups here. FERA grants have been received by the rest of the city. "There should be provided at Freedmen's Hospital a wing exclusively for tuberculosis, similar to the one suggested for Gallinger. "This would be part of a unified program under a tuberculosis commission and with one full-time officer bearing the responsibility." When apprised of the stand taken by Dr. White, Dr. Thompkins declared he had every reason to believe "we are getting somewhere in our fight." He said he could not see how the city officials could continue to ignore the cry of 140,000 awakened citizens. "Negroos in Washington have been asleep long enough." Dr. Thompkins said, "and the way they have rallied to our cause and augmented our ranks is most encouraging. This program of ours continued under the intelligent leadership of Dr. Ionia R. Whipper, George W. Bessley and Woolsey W. Hall, is sure to succeed. "Dr. White's aid is only the beginning of the support we may expect from the intelligentsia of the other side." Dr. Whipper is Pleased Dr. Whipper, chairman of the joint committee which presented a health program advocating various measures of health improvements to the City Commissioners last summer, told the Tribune early this week that she had read Dr. White's articles and was "much pleased" at the interest shown in these quarters. Mr. Hall, when asked for a statement, declared that there was little he could say texcept that "Dr. White's article proves he has made a careful and unbiased study of the tuberculosis conditions here." the he could say except that "Dr. White, probably unknowingly had struck the very keynote of the program being sponsored by Negro citizens under the leadership of Dr. Thompson. Dr. Algernon Jackson, well known local physician and formerly connected with the Howard University Medical School faculty after commenting on the articles told the Tribune that he was acquainted with Dr. White and knew him to be a highly respected character and a keen student of his subject.Dr. Jackson informed the writer that beside the post he holds at the head of the local society, Dr. White is chairman of the Medical Research Committee of the National Tuberculosis Association. obtained for two groups: $550 for the Georgetown Colonial Mothers, white, and $580 for the Georgetown Mothers. Plans are being made for each self-help group to exchange its surplus goods for different kinds of surpluses in the other self-help units. The projects are non-profit making. Members of the cooperatives share with each other in making the groups as self-supporting as possible. The self-help program has raised the morale of many persons on relief. Members of the cooperatives are learning the vaule of cooperation, self-reliance, and initiative. They are finding new methods of helping themselves and the community. Clinic Established Under the leadership of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, head of the National Training School for Women and girls, the Northeast Cooperative has established a children's clinic in the old library at the training school. The success of this project was made possible through the cooperation of a number of churches and civic organizations, and the professional people in the northeast section of the city. The churches and civic organizations raised funds to buy the equipment in the clinic. Upon the recommendation of physicians in the northeast section, the clinic has been approved by the Health Department. It is open every Tuesday afternoon, from one o'clock until two. Farm Secured Doctors Theodore Pinkey, E. L. Williams and E. T. Mavrtte are in charge, assisted by two trained nurses. Dr. Mavrtte is a dentist. This is the only children's clinic in this section of the city. It is open to the public; ten cents is asked of each patient to help pay for the medicine used. The Northeast Cooperative, with headquarters at the training school, also has a mattress-making project, a sewing room and a farm project. Chancellor Williams, director of the cooperative's projects, has secured for this group the use of a 170 acre farm at Malcolm, Maryland, about 30 miles from Washington. To Use 75 Acres The owner of the farm is Prof. Victor H. Daniel, former principal of the Cardina, Gibbons Institute. An expert in agriculture. Prof. Daniel is keenly interested in the self-help farm projects. He has made arrangements for the cooperative to use at least 75 acres of the farm this year. Besides producing a large variety of vegetables, the cooperative is planning to raise hogs and chickens. Mr. Williams expects to obtain a supply of fertilizer and seeds from the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation, and a number of garden implements from Works Division of the District Emergency Relief Administration. Many people who are not on relief are taking part in the activities of this cooperative. JARVIS FOR THE BEST FUNERAL SERVICE Call North 3815 JARVIS Funeral Church 1432 U Street, N.W.

WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 2, 1935 Our Cooking School One cannot doubt relative to women interest in the preparing of foods. At our cooking school which closes the week, the housewife's interest in thing culinary was strongly demonstrated by the attention that those in attendance showed when they asked questions and took notes of what was being shown them. The cooking school idea is worthy of serious consideration by those who want to be abreast of the times, both as to the economical way to prepare tast dishes, and in the new methods that are being introduced whereby drudgery (formerly a part of kitchen work) has been eliminated. What with the new appliances and new methods of procedure, cooking has become a pleasant pastime. Mrs. Gertrude C. Frazier, who editor of our cooking page news desire that the readers of The Tribune send in ideas relative to work in the kitchen and if you have discovered some little trick that helps you in the performance of your housework, send the idea to he so that she may pass it on to others.

A Catfish, Maybe If Huey Long, the Kingfish of Louisana expected to win the support of the Negro in his campaign for the presidency he surely lost it last week when he made a radio address and used the word "nigger" in referring to colored persons. Senator Long realized his blunders and tried to placate his Negro listener with his next remark by calling them "the colored man." Every Negro a heart knows Senator Long for what he is—a fish of the variety that is four in cesspools and tainted waters.

Let's Hear From the Teachers The present uproar in the public school system over the method of raising teachers will no doubt be revised and a more simplified plan substituted. It is noticeable at the several hearings on the system that most of those testifying are school officers. Although they admit that the present system is faulty, their protests are weak as compared with several teachers who spoke at the invitation of Board Member Henry Gilligan. After all, said Mr. Gilligan, the teachers are the ones most affected by the ratings and "let's hear from them. Three teachers accepted the invitation, but some of the board members said that they were in for a "roasting" if general so the teachers were muzzled. As a result more officers will be called and they will tell their story with a soft pedal on the crux of the whole unrest in the schools. Reports that the Andes mountain have been flaaded need spread no great alarm. You could dump the Pacific Ocean on those mountains and still have mountains enough left to last several centuries.

Get on the Jury List Despite the fact that some 400 persons are called for jury service in the District Supreme Court each month hardly four or five are colored. When jurors were called January 4 for grand jury service only three were colored and these were eliminated on legal technicalities. I At the present time there is only one colored person on jury service in the District Supreme Court, and that is in the Circuit Division. Not only is it the duty of every citizen to serve when other qualification are met, but it is a privilege as well.

LL At the present time there is only one colored person on jury service in the District Supreme Court, and that is in the Circuit Division. Not only is it the duty of every citizen to serve when other qualifications are met, but it is a privilege as well. Colored persons should go to the jury commissioner in the District Supreme Court Building and insist that he place their names on the rolls of prospective jurors. This should be followed up if their names are not called for service within a reasonable time. The man who thinks before he acts can make one step do the work of five. Pittsburgh Negroes are very sensitive on the issue of segregation, and up to now, have refused the proffer of colored teachers on the basis of separate schools. Unlike Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Columbus and Philadelphia, they have permitted a theory to outweigh a condition. On last Sunday afternoon I addressed the Centre Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association in the Smoky City. In the evening I held a conference with the local chapter of the Howard University Association. I took advantage of this visit to look into the local situation so far as the colored group is concerned. The City of Pittsburgh contains an estimated population of fifty-five thousand Negroes. The larger Pittsburgh comprising Allegheny County contains something like one hundred thousand. In normal times, every able-bodied and willing minded Negro finds work at remunerative wages. Because of the white man's policy of placing the Negro next to the fire, they are given the hardest and hottest work in the steel and iron mills. Aside from this, they find little place in the industrial scheme. In prosperous times the Pittsburgh contingency is perhaps the best off of any group of Negro workers with the possible exception of that of Detroit. But when the mills close down, the Negro is shut out almost entirely from the industrial equation. Fully 55 per cent are now on the Public Refill rolls. Race prejudice in Pittsburgh is not bitter or vicious; it is simply indifferent. Pittsburgh, being isolated in the mountains of Pennsylvania, affords little avenue for contact with the outside world. Ingress andgress run from east to west, but hardly from north to south. Work and wages are the only incentive. Not only is the colored group isolated from outside contact, but as Julius Caesar would say, they are penned in on all sides by the nature of the place. Local typography makes difficult free intermingling of peoples from different sections. Hill and valleys interpose and make strangers of those who dwell in the same city.

LEADERSHIP IS LIMITED There is not a single institution of city-wide ramification founded and fostered by Negroes to which all citizens may gather as a rallying point. The churches form the principal centers of social life for their several congregations. The Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Women's Christian Association and the Urban League, supported mainly by the whites, are the only institutions in the city which appeal to the whole population. No national or state headquarters of religious denominations, secret and fraternal orders, or organized business are located here. There is no college or institution of learning as a focusing point for the cultural life of the community. Colored pupils have free access to all grades of public schools and to the two universities in the confines of the city. These merely afford opportunity for the individual to sharpen but not to use his attainments. They do not quicken the social and cultural life as in case of the high school or college with Negro faculties such as one finds in Louisville, Ky., St. Louis, Mo., or Indianapolis, Ind., where members of the Negro faculties head up the progressive and forward-looking life of the people. The Pittsburgh Courier is the chief agency which relates Pittsburgh to the outside world. This influential and wide-spread journal circulates throughout the United States; it has a complete plant valued at $250,000 and carries on its staff thirty-five high school and college trained young men and women. Last year the high schools in Pittsburgh turned out 220 graduates. Aside from the opportunity afforded by the Courier, the Y.M.C.A. and Urban League they find little local market for their talent. The Courier, from the Negroes' point of view, is certainly the pride of Pittsburgh. Congressman DePriest is said to have remarked that aside from the Courier, a visitor would have little excuse to stop over in Pittsburgh. This paper put the city on the map.

MEN HANDICAPPED There is a fine group of professional men, but as they must depend on the masses they find their income jeopardized when the people are out of work. There is no colored hospital in the city. The colored physicians may take their patients to the general hospitals but must leave them at the door. Pittsburgh is the only city with a Negro population of its size, that has no colored teachers. In the earlier day, the Avery Institute devoted to the higher education of Negro youth, formed a cultural center for the life of the group. Later the high school, under Professor Peter H. Clark, formed a like function, but since these were absorbed in the public schools the race has been without intellectual and cultured leadership. Normally a city the size of Pittsburgh, might be expected to have around three hundred public school teachers whose occupation and income would give them dominant influence in the refined life of the community. Pittsburgh, Negroes are very sensitive on the issue of segregation, and up to now, have refused the proffer of colored teachers on the basis of separate schools. Unlike Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Columbus and Philadelphia, they have permitted a theory to outweight a condition. The college men who recruit the ranks of professions, are forming Greek letter fraternities which it is hoped, will serve the group on the high intellectual and cultural level, if snobbery and supercilious pretention can be eliminated.

Brands "Imitation of Life" as a disgraceful picture for Children. To the Editor: Do you think that we as a race will in the name of common sense or racial pride, ever learn to denounce and scorn that servant-like, scraping and bowing, "yas suh and naw suh" attitude which we are forever depicted as showing toward the white race? Is there not Do you think that we as a race will in the name of common sense or racial pride, ever learn to denounce and scorn that servant-like, scraping and bowing, "yas suh and new suh" attitude which we are forever depicted as showing toward the white race? Is there not some way by which the few of us who have a different attitude and a high and more intelligent outlook on life, can help to change that most dreadful, fearsome, hindering, humble-like attitude of the seemingly great majority? Will we ever cease, as a race, to admire, nourish and cherish such an attitude when and wherever we recover it? Do you think the time will come when we as a race will cease to look with appreciative wonder and admiration at pictures on the screen the plots of which definitely serve to bring out the fact that the jersey in the Negro Race is, was, and seemingly shall for ever be and that the only visible desire other than the present standing is to reach for, obtain and hold, all that pertains to "White?" A Southerner Smites Southern Treatment of Negroes (Note: Guy B. Johnson, a professor of the University of North Carolina, writing in a journal published by that Institution said recently.)

Squabbler—a newspaper few question Congressm shoot the you a better I am prompted to take this after having seen "Imitation of Life" and while, needlessly said that I would not dare criticize the splendid and most unusual ability of Louise Beavers, the "Pancake Mammy" in the picture I do not say that it is beyond my understanding how any Negro Man or Women with a spark of racial pride, could watch and listen to the Negro part in the play and fail to contact the mental vision of Fannie Hurst, as to her ideas and opinions relative to the Negro and his environment. Why then, the laugh? How many are there in the white race who still harbor the thought that there is dissatisfaction and lack of unity among the Negroes as a race for solely one race—difficulty in severing our identity with the race? Do you think that the time will present itself when we can thoroughly change, through our actions, the minds of the whites that the Negro has long since stopped rubbing and massaging white feet, and have learned to fall greatly in love with giving ourselves needed attention, thereby failing to live down to the statement which Ned Sparks made in the picture "Once a pancake, always a pancake," alluding to Aunt Dellah. I think a public lecture should be made, especially to Negro boys and girls against the ideas conveyed in that picture as to the Negro, for as you know, the screen can fill many spaces in the minds of children. So why then show them the Uncle Tom side of life, when there is so much else that is helpful for them? Are there not quite a number of our educational leaders today enough like Uncle Tom? In a nut shell, I sincerely believe that "Imitation of Life" is one of the most disgraceful screen examples relative to the Negro as a race. E. VIOLA DODSON, 2620 Georgia Ave., N.W. Says Elks have come to a period for stock taking. To the Editor: The Elks organization encourages the spiritual and intellectual freedom so necessary for the constructive development of our people. It is actually doing more to stimulate our organized forces for good than any known unit, it is the dream come true of our enslaved forefathers, effectively meeting untold and unwarranted handicaps and disfranchisements. The doctrine of equality, liberty, humanity, charity, justice, and fidelity is best accounted by the schooling and treatments received, through chicanery and insincere race leaders. In a nut shell, the Elks' organization is the worth-while, industrious, law-abiding and happy body rendering service to God and man. The Elk organization must not perish, it must not stumble. The Elk organization comes to a stock taking period. Those upon whose shoulders rest its perpetuity are disturbed enough to desire consideration of the spending of their money for all kinds of wild taxes and fancy salaries, while our widows, and orphans are denied mere Christmas favors. The Elks of Washington, the Nation's Capital, possess the very best facilities for a careful stock taking in convention. The lodges of Washington are, and should be model lodges of the organization. The optimistic faith in officials must be substantiated by real business principles and moral conduct of these leaders. The Elk organization has arisen because of the demand, which is constantly growing more and more insistent, for a strong unit of Negroes in this country with the many changes and few chances for economic security. Basing the Elks' works and our findings upon the assumption that the fundamentals of Elkdom must not and shall not pass from us as a people, we have heard the cry and call which urges us as Free Lance Elks to unite in an Elks Welfare Association with Herbert E. Jones as temporary chairman to consider: The Elks organization encourages the spiritual and intellectual freedom so necessary for the constructive development of our people.

Edward James Irvine, D.D., suggests two Negroes as poets laureate of the District of Columbia. To the Editor: Here is a letter that I sent to Commissioner George Allen which speaks for itself: Commissioner George Allen, Honorable Sir:— Just a few lines to let you know that I received a letter from Mrs. Florence Stratford Barnes (unofficially acclaimed Poet Lauratee of the District) who informs me that she is now permanently living at Cortez Beach, Fla., and is resigning from D.C. Literary groups; she concedes the Poet Laurateeship to me. However, besides myself there is another acclaimed Poet Laureate of Washington, D.C., he is Horace Carlyle, and I would like to also recommend for your consideration (when you are deciding who to officially acclaim the Laureate) the following Poets: Emelda Deshairs, former president of the Writers' Rendezvous and Prof. Henry Flury, of Eastern High Schools; also the two colored poets: Georgia Douglass Johnson and Lewis Alexander. Respectfully yours. REV. EDWARD JAMES IRVINE, D.D., (Unofficially acclaimed Poet Laurate of the Nation's Capital). 2nd Bishop of the Washington Institute Church of Christ, Inc.

A contemporary Pollyanna says it's a matter for thankfulness that the depression and confusion afflicting the world are man-made and not "due to nature," because man can correct his own mistakes.

Johnson, a professor of the University of North Carolina, writing in a journal published by that Institution and recently.) (Continued from last week) "(4) A broad issue is voted in a certain city for the construction of a municipal auditorium. A magnificent building is erected, but the only place Negroes can sit during entertainments and public functions is in a gallery where it is very difficult to see and hear. Many of them feel that they have been as effectively left out" as if no provision whatever had been made for them. Negroes are 30 percent of the population, and they pay 10 per cent of the taxes on real and personal property. "(5) A new federal building is erected in a well-known city. In the old building two Negro janitors took care of all the work. The new building casks for twelve janitors. Negroes are jubilant, thinking they will surely have these jobs which their race has considered more or less its own. But only the two Negro janitors get jobs. Ten whites men are put in. Negroes protest to the postmaster, to their congressmen, to the Postmaster-General, but several months have passed and the white men are still working. "Such instances might be continued indefinitely. What of the 'public' playgrounds which the Negro may not use? What of the 'public' hospital which denies him entrance or treats him like a pauper? What of the 'public' library which they may not use freely?" Deliberate Designs "By deliberate design in some cases and by pure thoughtfulness in others, the interests and needs of the Negro citizen are thwarted or neglected. It is clear that there is a connection between the Negro's political impotence and his inability to command a decent share of the services and benefits of government. Thus the folkways of white supremacy hold a double check upon the progress of the Negro community. Is it not asking too much of a people so situated to be cheerful, contented, patriotic? To be diligent and efficient in their daily work? To be deeply concerned over law observance and the general welfare of the community? "It is a serious thing to block the path of reasonable hope for any group. Despair lies at the bottom of much of the disorganization and unwholesomeness in the power stratum of Negro life. Where there is no opportunity there is no vision of the future, no guiding principle to organize and integrate the pattern of behavior. "The South pays dearly for the economic bondage and the political impotence of its black folk. For, in one way or another—in inefficiency, in waste, in poor health, in low moral standards, in excessive rates of dependency and delinquency—the Negro has levied a tax on the South just as surely as if the states themselves had levied it. "And there is another sense in which the South pays. Edgar Gardner Murphy, in The Basis of Ascendancy, has expressed it as foEows: Taken Advantage of "The processes by which we have taken an oblique advantage of the black man, whether in the exercise of the suffrage, or in the support of the public schools, or in the practice of the courts, ..., are processes by which white men have quickly learned to take oblique advantage of one another. And we also know that what we do is an offense against ourselves, that we do not like it, and that—from man to man—we say so. For we know that the process by which men have sometimes cheated the Negro out of his legitimate privileges, as these privileges are written in our settled precedents and our established laws is a process by which they have cheated themselves, not infrequently, out of their consciences and their peace." "The same policy which kept the Negro from participation in the duties and benefits of social control has begotten in the race a militant school of leadership which has waged and will continue to wage a battle for the recognition of the legal rights of the Negro. The existence of that militant group is a reflection on the southern white man's sense of justice and fair play. Negroes have been patient forbearing and peaceful in their struggle for rights, but there is no guarantee that they shall always remain so. "Can the South afford to continue the old policy toward the Negro? Does it wish to allonate the Negro until, embittered and resentful, he turns to radicalism as his helpmate in his struggle for rights? Or does it prefer to embark willingly and courageously upon a policy which shall take the inequalities out of the biracial system and usher its Negro citizens peacefully into a larger participation in the life of the region? Self-interest, simple justice and common sense demand that the South give the Negro a new deal." The Educationally Backward South The Educationally Backward South Although the South invests in public education an even larger percentage of her taxes and total wealth than other parts of the country, the expenditure for white children is less then half the national average, and for Negroes about one-eighth.

All of these are in the South, Virginia, Florida and Maryland are the only Southern states above this lowest category. The average expenditure for every pupil throughout the nation in 1930 was $39; the expenditure for white children in the South was $44.31; the expenditure for Negro children was $12.57. Georgia spends an average of $35.42 for each white pupil and $6.35 for each Negro. The few as for Mississippi are $45.34 against $5.45. Children of the 3,000,000 Negroes of the deep South have less than one-fifteenth the opportunity for education of the average American child.

The fact that General Dougass MacArthur, army chief of staff, who personally directed the rout of the bonus army, admitted that he had put Waters in the way of employment, may also be inconsequential. ..... more popular messengers of the State de- awarded a divorce from his wife and who that he is still unmarried, is believed by be the person who wrote a letter to the Clerk's office protesting the fact that one are permitted to come in early, go to school, early for school in the evenings.

By George Howard Mack Having a decided distaste for useless argument over things that not only ignore fundamentals but also disclose a callous indifference toward ultimate consequences, I have been hesitant to enter the latest controversy raging about the ears of the Baptist Ministers' Conference as a result of its attitude respecting the ordination council held recently at the Shi'oh Church. Much of such argument, to my mind, is meaningless, and can serve no more useful purpose than possibly to satisfy the whims of individuals who either innocently or ignorantly misinterpret pastorial status. Within the Conference, of course, there doubtless are many good men—men who not only are my best friends but whom I believe to be honest in their efforts to advance the church generally rather than thrusting personal interests foremost. Such men are an asset to our city that we could ill afford to lose. But the brethren of the Conference make themselves entirely ludicrous when they single out only certain men for censure, when some twenty-odd others were present at the same council. It does not matter, either, that they "took no part"—for all never take part in anything—they were there. And not only were they there, but many of them actually did take part in interrogating the candidate, while all were invited to join the inquisition. It is therefore the height of perfidy for men who were foremost in the examination to return to the conference and be loudest in the clamour to "crucify them." Names Others Present I have right now in my possession the names of the gent'emen, and can furnish them—well, I just as well let them go now. In addition to those "indicted", there were present at Shiloh that night Rev. W. L. Turley, Rev. R. T. Epps, Rev. Mr. Alexander, Rev. J. H. Marshall, Rev. S. G. Lamkins, Rev. L. T. Hughes, Rev. J. P. Nichols, Rev. Mr. Spriggs, Rev. L. R. Frazier, Rev. Wormey, Rev. J. S. L. Holloman, Rev. Daniel Washington, Rev. Richard Carter and Rev. A. W. Gray. A communication from Vermont Avenue Church was read, "not condemning the council", but indicating regret for inability to attend. There can be no question as to the right of ministers to organize themselves into whatever conclaves they desire, be it conferences or whatnot. If they are alert and capable of interpreting the needs of our times, they will group themselves in some manner as will assure the benefits that accrue from intellectual and experimental intercourse. The value of any forum to promote fraternity and fellowship among the brethren, and at the same time allow candid discussion of problems common to church life, with the view to arrive at some helpful but reasonable solution, can not be over-estimated. On the other hand, however, if due discretion is not exercised in limiting its scope, and strict vigilance kept over those who might become intoxicated with false concepts of their own importance, such an organization of preachers might also become a menace to the life of the very thing that gave it birth—the church. Conference Incroaches Obviously the growing encroachment of the local conference upon individual church perogatives is occasion for no little concern among those who have observed its ever-increasing dominion, have made a study of denominational policy as a whole, and whose approach to the subject is not measured by any rule or ordinance some local group might elect to invoke. Whether it is good or bad government—and I am not arguing that now—there is no hierarchy in the Baptist church. Each pastor is as independent, some say, as a "king," and each church, a kingdom. It is very often, moreover, that the smaller the church the more vocal is its pastor; and even ministers who cannot keep churches themselves too often are heard telling others how churches should be run Entirely at its own discretion a Baptist church may or may not represent in any denominational activity outside its own doors. It may collect a million dollars—if it can—and is obligated to report to no board or body. If it takes part in the State Convention, which ranks next to the national organization, it does so without authoritative compulsion. If it wants to vacate its pulpit, it may, within legal consideration, vote a pastor out at any time. Cannot Make Laws A Baptist Ministers' Conference, therefore, cannot set itself up as a super-government, making laws, dictating rules and legislating to bind individual churches against their will. It is not an organization produced by the church, but by the ministry. It was not organized by the church as such pursuant to church constitutions, without whose sanction it has no punitive jurisdiction except over its own constitution. A creature is not greater than its creator. And even if the church did not create the conference, directly, the conference most certainly did not create the church. Without the church there could be no pastors' conference; but the church might live forever even if preachers never organized. Conceding the right of the conference to discipline its own members guilty of violating its constitution, that even becomes doubtful when such constitution is shown to be at variance not only with traditional distinction making church history, but which also is subversive to a principle of government the Baptist church has always enjoyed. A pastor's subscription alone to any organization, moreover, does not perforce commit his church to membership also If the Conference has authority to dictate to a church as to whom it should offer for the ministry, without specific recognition by that church of the conference's jurisdiction, it is conceivable that the conference might also, with some degree of logic, define qualifications of church officers and policy of membership admittance. And again, a Baptist Ministers' Conference is merely a local affair, anyhow, while for purposes of denominational administration, the District of Columbia is considered a State. In no other State is there any Statewide conference of ministers with such co-extensive authority super-imposed upon all the churches. Suggest Plan I sincerely think the Ministers' Conference could render invaluable service if it were willing to salvage from the wreck toward which its present policy surely is tending it, such men as are willing to found an order whose devotion of time and energy will be to an intelligent, scientific study of the needs and problems of the church—for they indeed are many—and be satisfied merely as an advisory, fact-finding, clearing house of ideas and ideals upon issues affecting the church, rather than assuming to legislate and adjudicate in contravention of all Baptist principles with which we are familiar. And while I heartily indorse any movement on the part of the church to raise the standard of those admitted into its ministry, and was among the first to congratulate the conference some years ago for suggesting a yardstick of measurement, yet I am unalterably opposed to, and question seriously the authority, propriety and even wisdom of, any such conference to attempt to set aside the action of any church, even though such church undertook to ignore not only the "standard" prescribed, but the conference as well! After all, brethren, preachers are ordained to preach to the people, must look to the laity for support, and not to the ministry. The conference well might be deceiving its self in these kind of performances; but if it thinks that even the average person in the church does not know what pastors, even without trappings and fanfare, are really doing things—and many of those who are NOT have been ordained a long time—the joke is at its own expense. Opportunity Offers Prizes To College Students "Opportunity" Magazine has changed the character of its literary award for the year 1935.

PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men Friends of Miss Elsie M. Campson of 1091 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, are tickled pink and a lot of other colors too, because the lovely lady is out after being kept indoors by that hateful old mosser, near-pneumonia. Mr. Lorenzo Berry, Master of Social Lodge No. 1 of the D. C. Masons, and a popular Howard University medical student should never miss a chance to jump into a "full dress" suit. He wore one the other Friday night and looked ever so handsome as he presided over a pretty affair on T Street. As busy as Mrs. Royal W. Bailey of Twenty-first Street, always is, it does seem that every once in a while she would get just plain tired and hide that, winning smile of hers away from you and me. But it will never happen. The busier she gets, the bigger the "Bailey-brand" smile appears. And with such a round of duties too. Out in the work-a-day world all week; raising her voice on Sunday (no, for goodness' sake no, not at Mr Bailey) but in a big church chair; Helping the Eastern stars to shine any old night in the year; keeping the women's Auxiliary of the Postal Employees' Union—but 'twould take too long to list that lady's duties. Besides, by the time we had them catalogued, she'd have a couple of new ones to add to the lot. A lot of lovely ladies are living on one square meal a day. They are punching bags and swinging dumbbells; they are shunning street car transportation and letting bus and taxi pass 'em by (and you're wondering how they'll ever get where). But you needn't worry about 'em, for if you observe a little further you'll find them pulling on galoshes and trudging through the snow. The reason? They're trying to beat old "Avoirdupois". You see Dame Fashion has already loudly decreed that "tropical prints" will be worm this year. And so as soon as the calendar's accurate finger points to a warm Spring day these weight-conscious women are hoping to shed their winter wraps and emerge all gaily bedecked in a pretty "tropical print". But (and here's the rub) everybody knows that tropical prints are not the dainty figured weaves of a season or so ago, but great big splotcy, splashy patterns that multiply your size—really make "mountains out of mole hills". So here's where I go on a diet and start walking to a gym, for I simply cannot let the season pass without coaxing out of good Friend Husband, at least one blue printed dress (even if it has to have sunflowers tall and yellow, or pink and lilac waterlilies sprawling all about it. Maybe it's because Mrs. Beatrice Gray Henderson (oh, the popular "Tootie" of course is heading the thing; maybe it's because Mrs. Alice Cornish is telling 'em what to do when "Tootie" is far away. Maybe it's because Mrs. Bernice Finney, Mrs. Hattie Richardson Short, Mrs. Annice G. Petitt, Mrs. Bernice B. Busey and Miss Alice Jackson are all standing attention. Maybe it's because the four "little women" (Charming Alston sisters, Camille Myra, Alberta and Helen) are lending very wiling hands. Anyway, excitement is fever-high in Chapel Aid Guild circles of St. George's P. E. Church. It's a cardparty. (Now there you go rushing off to the Parish Hall without taking time to get your hat) the thing doesn't start till February Looks like there'll always be music in the Brooks household at 135 V Street, Northwest. Everybody knows about "Tom" and his tenor. Now here comes the Brooks' small daughter, Barbara, running away with the piano. And no wonder, Barbara's teacher is attractive Miss Gladys Rotan of the Howard University School of Music. Miss Rotan has one grown-up pupil. He's an interesting fellow and his surname begins with C. She doesn't teach him piano though. He studies the music in her voice when Miss Rotan sweetly says "thank you" for a bouquet of roses or maybe an evening at the show. Mr. "tall and handsome" Heathcock (Virgil) of Hamlin Street, Northeast, has other interests besides dear little Mrs. Heathcock and coal (he's a dealer or something) for he was telling 'em about some according-to-Hoyle-or. Cul. bertson-style of keeping score at a card tournament the other night. Won't that be a pretty story to hand down to posterity? All about Mrs. Edna West Peyton, Mrs. Gladys T.

Saw Mrs. M...y J...n in the shopping district last week. She was looking for something new to wear to the Delta's card-party on the ninth of February. "Why, child," I said "you can wear your swimming togs or your pretty kitchen frock and nobody'll be the wiser, for every eye will be on the score card and you and I won't even be seen." Dr. Julia Doute' Brown, who recently opened an office at 1320 R Street, Northwest, receiving the commendation of Veterans' Administration officials for her expert handling of a veteran's case. Buckets of (there you go thinking beer, but the women I have in mind would only pour it in the sink, so beer is taboo) buckets of what else do you buy in buckets oh well, buckets of honey or molasses and buckets of roses to the M. W. A.'s for their kind words about the Prattler. Looks like it pays that Hayes girl (Mrs. George E. C. Hayes) to be ill. That is, (let me quickly explain) it seems only a short time ago when kind friends of Mrs. Hayes were saying "I'm sorry you're ill, Louise" and running in every now and then to grab up the convalescing lady and take her out for a drive. (No, I wasn't one of 'em. You don't suppose I ask "Judge" Hayes" wife to ride in my broken "Lizzie"). She wouldn't refuse I know (she's just that sweet) but I'd never get nerve enough to ask her. Well, anyway. Mrs. Hayes is prettier now than ever. So I repeat, it pays some people (in beauty dividends, at least) to get a headache, a toothache or something six or seven years.

The reason? Why, of course it was the date of the long-looked-for dramatization of "Snowwhite and The Seven Dwarfs", presented by the Children's Theatre. Group of the Community Committee of the Y. W. C. A., at the Armstrong High School Auditorium. Interesting, dialogue, singers characterization, and beautiful and appropriate scenery kept the play moving effectively. Of the scenery, the most striking was the picturization of the huge spider webs with entangled spiders which were seen in the second scene at the witch's home. The story is about a most beautiful young princess, Snowwhite, played by Ruth Lyons, whose stepmother, Queen Brangomar, enacted by Clara Carey, hates Snowwhite because of her great beauty. The jealous queen sends her huntsman, Berthold, Samuel Bullock, to kill the girl. But because he is softhearted, he lets Snowwhite go and takes back to the queen a pig's heart to prove the princess's death. Snowwhite makes her home with seven wee old men or dwarfs, who have ugly faces but also have very kind hearts. In the meantime, the queen, aided by a magic mirror, discovers that her stepchild is still alive. With the help of the witch, Brangomar, the queen, disguises herself, searches for and finds Snowwhite in the forest of the dwarfs during whose absence she offers the princess a poisoned apple. Snowwhite takes one bite and falls apparently dead. The dwarfs return and find her thus, broken-hearted they place hea in a crystal casket and watch it day and night. The huntsman who was imprisoned, escapes, finds the casket, returns to court and confronts the queen with her crime. The casket is brought to the palace by the seven dwarfs who watch Snowwhite cough up the apple and return to life. The queen breaks the magic mirror and becomes, ugly; Snowwhite presumably marries her lower, Florimond, and lives happily ever after. Snowwhite as portrayed by Ruth Lyons was just as lovable, kind, and pretty as we have always imagined her to be. The queen was equally as haughty, proud, and full of vanity. Clara Carey's interpretation deserves special mention. Blick, Flick, Snick, Plick, Whick Glick and Queue were the seven dwarfs—and seven of the jolliest cutest, and queerest as were ever SHOPPERS "and" when y bread Bond Bond & Bond THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 2. 1935 The children of the audience scored them and showed their evident approval of the postcards by Linnwood Craig, Clifton Mitchell, James Williams, Charlie Hooper, Grant Taylor, Charles Tignor, and Barmond Allen. Witch Hex, the godmother of Queen Brangomar, who reformed in the end and retired from her profession, was played very acceptably by Frances Hill. A high spot of fun was enjoyed by the audience when the huntman brought back the pig's heart which when used in a hair-restorer by the witch brought forth a growth of white pig-tails instead of a growth like Snowwhite's hair. Campbell Johnson as Sir Dampat Bombas was the source of constant merriment with his pom-pus stipulations. We must not forget the charming Prince Florimond, played by William Lee. The prince who meets Snowwhite accidently while visiting the court of Queen Brangomar, falls in love and when the situation ends happily, shares the throne with Snowwhite when Queen Brangomar abdicates. The ladies in waiting, and the witches' cats completed the cast. The response in attention and applause indicted the satisfaction of the audience in such a charming dramatization of such a lovely, old fairy tale, dear to the hearts of the old and the young alike.

Mitchell, Democrat of Illinois, introduced his first measure in Congress Tuesday. It was entitled: "A Bill to assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every State the equal protection of the laws, and to punish the crime of lynching," and is House Bill No. 4457. This is what is commonly referred to as an Anti-Lynch Law. The particular bill introduced by Mr. Mitchell differs radically from any measure ever before introduced in Congress on this subject. One of the salient features of Mr. Mitchell's bill is the provision that if any person is taken from a State peace officer and injured or killed, that fact alone makes out a prima facie case against the county where the injury or death occurs and is sufficient to make the act a felony under the federal law unless the State peace officer can conclusively show that the injury or killing of his prisoner was occasioned through no fault of his. In other words, the mere action of a mob in injuring or killing a person in the custody of a State peace officer or taking a person from such officer is enough to constitute a crime under the law proposed by Mr. Mitchell. These acts also are sufficient in themselves to render the county liable in damages. Crime Designated ranging from $2000 to $10,000. Authors of all other bills on this subject have overlooked the fact that it would be next to impossible to prove a case against State officials in the event of a lynching unless the Federal Anti-Lynch Bill itself set out what facts and circumstances constituted the crime and upon which proof rests. The bill introduced by Mr. Mitchell, which will be known as the "Mitchell Anti-Lynch Law," sets forth in clear and unmistakable terms just what acts constitute the crime of lynching under its provision. A second point of the Mitchell Anti-Lynch Law over other laws on this subject is the provision that if a person is injured or killed while in the custody of a State official, a Federal crime has been committed. All other bills so far introduced relating to Lynching have failed to include this feature and have only provided that a crime was committed if a prisoner was taken away from a State peace officer. To Break up Lynching Mr. Mitchell stated that one of the prime purposes of his bill was to break up lynching. To that end he inserted a clause to the effect that wherever two or more persons conspire to injure or put to death a prisoner, then all such persons participating in the conspiracy upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than two nor more than ten years. If a State official takes part in the conspiracy or the actual lynching, he is to suffer the same punishment. This bill has been in the making for almost three months. In fact, Mr. Mitchell has been constantly at work on it ever since his election in November. He has had associated with him in the preparation of this law some of the greatest constitutional lawyers in the country. Mamle Johnson, daughter of Daniel Johnson, 221 I Street, Northwest, and Dorothy Banks, 1034 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, were announced as winners of the fashion show sponsored by Miss E. D.
