GIGOLO MURDERS HUSBAND OF WOMAN Washington News NOW ONLY 5C CHECK CHARGE JAILS LAWYER A suit against Mrs. Harriett Allen, a teacher of English in the Armstrong High School, was dismissed by Justice F. Dickerson Lettis in Equity Court, Monday afternoon when relatives of Mrs. Allen failed to prove that a sum of money left by the late Joseph Hawkins and his wife, Alice Hawkins, was a trust fund for the children of Mr. Hawkins. The suit against Mrs. Alun was filed by Joseph H. Hawkins, Jr., and Mrs. Ellen Hawkins Scott, children of the first wife of the deceased. Borrowed $1,000 Testimony disclosed that Mr. Hawkins, Sr., was a retired government employee and owned his home at 1332 Corcoran Street, Northwest. In the summer of 1932 he sold the home for $4,200 and went to live in an apartment. This money was deposited in a joint bank account. Mrs. Allen who is the sister of Mrs. Hawkins, testified that sometime later she needed to make certain repairs at her S Street home and secured a loan of $1,000 from her sister and brother-in-law and gave a series of notes payable $60 monthly. These notes were also signed by Joseph Allen, husband of Mrs. Allen and a teacher in the Dunbar High School. Mrs. Allen stated that Mr. Hawkins died shortly after the loan was made and his wife and herself established a joint account at the bank in their names. Open Joint Account This new account was opened in June 1933 with a balance of $2,974.85. She stated that Mrs. Hawkins suggested that the money be placed in the joint account in order to make withdrawals more convenient as Mrs. Hawkins was quite Wesley Tinney Claims His Mate Was Married When He Wedded Her Claiming that his wife already had a husband when she married him.

Lewis is employed in a tailor shop near Eighth and D Streets. While Tunney is a government employee. Mrs. Tunney or Mrs. Lewis is a maid at the Mayflower Hotel. Attorney J. Flipner Derrikott reprints husband No. 2. VOL. XIV. No. 45 R.R.WORKERS COMPLAIN TO BOARD R.R.WORKERS COMPLAIN TO BOARD Seek to Have Labor Act Amended in Order to Insure Justice Attorney Nelson M. Willis, of Chicago, general counsel for the International Association of Railway Employees, and Benjamin L. Gaskins, local attorney, filed with the National Meditation Board last Friday a brief setting out in full the history and present status of Negro railway workers, and especially in the South, and asking the board to take jurisdiction of their complaints. It will be remembered that in September, 1934, a group of railroad employees from all over the country met at the Vincennes Hotel in Chicago and formed a temporary organization. That in November of the same year, another meeting was held in Washington, even a larger group attending, and formed a permanent organization. Represents 15,000 Employees The organization is made up mostly of firemen, brakemen, flagmen, switchmen and train porters of the South. A committee from the organization appeared before the Meditation Board and the Coordinator of Railroads, and discussed their situation orally. It was suggested at that time that the brief be filed at a later date. The brief set out that the International Association of Railway Employees is made up of the federating or consolidation of 27 smaller organizations scattered throughout the South; that they are at present representing approximately 15,000 colored railway employees. 162,630 in 1930 The brief further states that according to the Federal census of 1930, there were 162,630 Negro employees, 10 per cent of all persons employed in this industry. More than half of this number (97,992) are employed as laborers, and 25,000 as porters. However, in the South, a large number are employed as brakemen, firemen and switchmen. In the thirteen Southern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia, Negroes in 1920 formed 28.1 per cent of all of the flagmen. By 1930, Negroes were only 26.1 per cent of the firemen, 16.2 per ment of the brakemen and 11.2 per cent of the switchmen and flagmen. This shows that even during the (Continued on page 2) 21 HOURS WORK IN SNOW RESULT IN FROST BITE Station Claiming that both of his hands were frost bitten as a result of working 21 hours continuously shoveling snow at Union Station, James Conner, 129 Madison Court, Northwest, began action this week to secure compensation from the Washington Terminal Company. Conner who is represented by Attorney J. Flipper Derricotte, claimed that on January 23, he shoveled snow at the terminal from 8 a.m. on one day to 5 a.m. the next. As a result of this long exposure his hands were frost bitten and he may be unable to regain the use of his fingers. Conner was treated at the hospital at the station until about February 19 when he was discharged. When his attorney communicated with station officials he was given further treatment and sent to specialist.

S. Supreme Court to Hear Appeal in Case of Doleman ATLANTA, Ga. (By Joe Edward Arbor for A.N.P.) - Speaking at different places at the same time in Atlanta, Ga., Sunday afternoon Eugene Kincick Jones, Adviser on Negro Affairs in the U.S. Department of Commerce, and Forrester B. Washington, late Chief of the Division of Negro Labor, and noted educator, expressed widely divergent views on the Negroes status under the New Deal. While Mr. Jones contended that the benefits garnered by Negroes under the National Recovery Administration were greater than the Negro press credits, Mr. Washington slashed at the press for "Taking blindly what has been sent it by people who wished to 'chloroform' the Negro public to build their own political fences and reporting a lot of 'bull' about the assistance that the Negro is receiv- Review Granted in Accident Where Father Was Denied Right to Sue A decision by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals that Charles M. Doleman, administrator of the estate of his son, Robert Doleman, had no right to sue Harry Levine, white, for damages for the death of his son was granted a review, Monday, by the Supreme Court of the United States. Robert Doleman was killed January 3, 1933, while working for the Potomac Electric Power Company, in a manhole at Lincoln Road and R Street, Northeast. He was struck by an automobile owned by Levine and driven by Harry Barner white Sued for $10,000 The Potomac Electric Power Co. is paying the wife of Doleman compensation under the District of Columbia workmen's compensation act. The father; Charles Doleman brought suit for $10,000 damages. A like suit was brought by the Potomac Electric Power Company. The Court of Appeals held that the Potomac Electric Power Co., had a right to bring suit under the compensation laws, and Doleman's suit was dismissed. Writ Filed The case reached the Supreme Court after the Court of Appeals affirmed the order of the District Supreme Court overruling the demurrier filed to the plea of Harry Levine. A petition for a writ of certiorari was filed in the United States Supreme Court by Nathan A. Dobbin, attorney for Doleman. The Potomac Electric Power Co. contended that the acceptance of compensation by Mrs. Robert Doleman constituted an assignment to the Power Company of all right of the person entitled to the compen- ing under the Administration." ing under the Administration." "The Negro has more and better representation at Washington now than at any previous time in the past," said Mr. Jones, calling the impression created by the Negro press that the Negro race is worse off with the present form of representation of Federally appointed Negroes to present the problems of the race, "unwarranted." Says Leaders Powerless Yet, Mr. Washington, giving his reason for resigning from his post at Washington the fact that he was not going to be a figurehead, and that Negro advisers are practically helpless as far as real power and influence goes, maintained that Negro's appointed in Washington cannot do much for the Negro masses. In the Recovery organization in Washington and on the field, the disproportionate number of 58,189 white employees to 289 Negroes prevails, he stated, admitting that these had no administrative authority, and oftentimes were ignorant of what plans were being worked out by the heads of their departments. Popular Office Holders Ineffective. "The best test of the success of a Negro Adviser," said Mr. Washington, is the extent to which he makes the department for which he works "mad." "A Negro adviser's position is necessarily a (Continued on page 2). A. E. NATHAN A. DOBBINS sation, to recover damages against a third person. Dooleman contends that although Mrs. Dooleman accepted compensation under the workmen's compensation laws, such assignment does not bar an action against third persons by other dependents. Dooleman received the support of his son during his lifetime. The Supreme Court will decide whether the assignment of all right of bringing suit against third persons by the person who receives compensation bars similar action by Doleman against Harry Levine. Mr. Dobbins is being assisted by Otho, D. Branson and James C. Waters Jr. He was recently admitted to practice before the Supreme Court upon motion of his associate, Mr. Waters. The distinction of making an oral argument before the Supreme Court is unique. The court is expected to be argued on April 4. WOMEN ARE TO SERVE AS NURSES Negotiations Under Way to Charter Ships From Friendly Powers NEW YGKK.—At a mass meeting of the 'Fan-African Reconstruction Association, held at the International headquarters here Sunday Samuel Daniels, president, made an appeal for four million Afro-American men and women to prevent the invasion of Italy in Abyssinia or assura Abyssinian victory should invasion take place. The men and women were organized in two groups: the men The Ethiopian Imperial Guard and the women, The Royal Ethiopian Nurses. Mr Daniels stated, that at present these organizations were for a four fold purpose; (1) to carry out a universal boycott against Italian merchants doing business in Afro-American communities, as a means of bringing indirect pressure to bear upon the Italian Government. (2) to bring about an industrial up-surge among the African people of the world, building a gigantic industrial-commercial corporate empire within the united nations of Abyssinia, Liberia and Haiti, (3) to settle those who desire, in Ethiopia, Liberia and Haiti, but most particularly Ethiopia, "to aid her and lend the technical knowledge that has have acquired in the western world." (4) to institute a worldwide campaign to drive Italy out of Africa, particularly out of the Somoiland and Eritrea. Mr. Daniels stated that "before we the African people of the world get through, we will make Benito Mussolini, kiss the feet of Haile Selassie. "We will bring Rome to her knees, as in the days of Hannibal of Carthage, for the sub-human assault on the divine kingdom of the people of Ethiopia. Italy has proven herself undesirable in Africa, she is a menace to the welfare of the people of African descent throughout the world. Now she must get out altogether.

Hugh Johnson, Tuesday, the Rev. L. L. Smith, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, took exception to the phrase "Old darky," used by the former NRA official in his radio speech Monday night. The minister said: "During the course of your masterful address, you deliberately or un intentionally insulted one-tenth or perhaps more of the people who made up your raids, audience when you used the term 'old darky' in a story that added nothing to the fact you were trying to drive home "I rather feel that you were unaware of this breech of ethics. But in either event the result remains the same. He who unintentionally allows his house to burn down is in the same predicament after the fire as he who sets fire to his house and burns it down." ARREST VA LAWYER FOR PRETENSE Alleged Passing of Bad Checks Bags Roanoke Attorney Entering a plea of not guilty and demanding a trial by jury, Henry D. Dolphin, a member of the Roanoke, Va., bar, was held in bond of $500 on each of two charges by Judge John J. McMahon in Police Court, Tuesday. Dolphin's arrest was the aftermath of a police investigation of alleged false pretense practices on the part of the Virginia lawyer. He was arrested by Precinct Detectives F. B. Ashe and D. D. Pittman and Headquarters Detective Sergeant J. D. Wanamaker, white, of the check squad. The accused man was arraigned Tuesday. According to the information furnished the Tribune, Dolphin is allied to have passed bad checks on two local merchants, one a downtown clothing dealer and the other an uptown liquor store operator. They are said to have been in amounts of ten dollars and one dollar, respectively. In addition to the charges brought against him by the local department, the Virginia practitioner who has made his residence in this city for the past year, is reported to be a fugitive from the Roanoke city authorities. A count similar to the one lodged against him here is allegedly hanging fire in the southern jurisdiction. Two Bonds Set Judge McMahon in setting the bond for Dolphin's release ordered $500 to cover the false pretense charge of local police and $500 for bond in the fugitive case. Following his taking residence in this city, Dolphin became engaged in the capacity of contributing editor of the "Bast." defunct weekly publication of various amusement organizations of this city. He is also well known in night life of the capital city. Attorney Dolphin, who lives at 1522 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, is represented by Attorney Timothy W. Fisher.

Harrison, star of "The Green Pastures," might have continued to be just a grand old "Lawd," traveling from town to town, and partaking in moderate doses of the adulation which was his after five years of almost continuous acting in the famous religious drama, he might have carried on interminably. But such was not to be. Last week, he and the other members of the cast, returned to this city, to start again where they had started five years ago, with the opening of the remarkable play. And New York put "de Lawd" to bed. New York extended the glad hand to the returning trouper, treated him as Rome must have once received triumphant generals. Newspapers, magazines, the radio, all agencies of public expression, swooped down upon the patriarchal performer, now 70 years old, to be told all about the last five years, over and over again. Strain Too Great During one day, Mr. Harrison was forced to stand up under ten continuous hours of interviewing. The strain was too much. He was overcome by the "price of glory." Saturday afternoon, as he was preparing to go on for his 1,658th performance, he collapsed in his dressing room. At first it was thought that his heart had suffered an attack. But examination disclosed that his heart was all right. He was just tired, exhausted. Day after day of being entertained, praised, questioned, idolized, talked to and about, made "de Lawd" weary and he just had to give up. Wood Takes Part His part was immediately taken by Charles Winter Wood, former professor of English and drama at Tuskegee Institute, who for five years has patiently rehearsed, weed after week, "de Lawd's" part with out ever getting the chance to play it. Mr. Wood is 60 years old and though the two have been friends since they were boys, Mr. Harrison had predicted that Mr. Wood might never play the part. But when he collapsed, it was to Charles Winter Wood he called. "Hold me up, Charlie, hold me up," he is reported to have said. "The world needs this play at this time. I'll be back in a few days." Wife, Daughter III Maybe he'll be back. His heart is all right and he is in no danger from that. But both his wife and daughter lie dangerously ill in Chicago. Mr. Harrison has been much saddened by this circumstance, but has so far felt that he must go on with the play. But now that the magic charm has been broken, he may decide upon a rest, to let "Charlie" have the "power and the glory" for awhile. Mr. Wood has not only been the understudy for Mr. Harrison's part in the play, but knows nearly every other part. Marc Connelly, the author, announced to the audience, Saturday afternoon that Mr. Harrison could not go on and offered money back to those who wished it. About 200 left the theatre. Those who stayed, however, were enthusiastic about the performance of Mr. Wood. Washington Man and Woman Injured in Jersey Crash Word was received here this week by Mrs. Etta Mason, 124 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, of an accident in New Jersey in which her sister, Miss Ella King, of the same address, was seriously injured. Miss King was motoring in Newark, N. J., when the car in which she was riding was almost wrecked. Details of the accident were not in the report. Miss King received a fractured skull and other injuries while Douglass Ragsdale, of the 1700 block of New Jersey Avenue, an occupant of the machine, also received a fractured skull, Ragsdale is in the St. James Hospital, Newark, while Miss King is being treated at the Elizabeth Hospital in Elizabeth, N. J. Dr. Namur, International Lecturer, to Talk Here Dr. Irene Case Namur, who studied the chemistry of the body at the University of Brussels, is scheduled to lecture on the chemistry of food, body and mind at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church the week of March 24. Dr. Namur, considered the foremost international lecturer on body chemistry, will also probably give one of her lectures at Howard University. At present, she is lecturing downtown but leaves for New Jersey next week. The following week she returns to the city to talk at the church. Further Adventures of Bishop Noah W. Williams in the Holy Land TEN BAGDAD, Iraq (ANP))—We left Jerusalem for Bagdad, stopping at Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee on the way, and taking dinner at a hotel in Tiberias on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, spending some time at Magdala, and Cafermaum; after washing my face in the Sea of Galilee. I continued my journey north to Huleh Lake in which the River of Jordan takes its rise... After passing the French customs officers at the bridge that spans the Jordan at Huleh we journeyed on reaching the ancient City of Damascus that night, and secured room at the Omayad hotel. The following day we spent visiting the principal sites of Biblical interest. It will be recalled that Damascus is the oldest city in the world, being old when Nineveh, Memphis and Babylon were infant settlements. Abraham passed that way and secured as his steward "Eliezer of Damascus" (Gen. 15:2). And Naaman the Leper was from there. (2 Kings 5). Of special interest to Biblical students of the Christian era is the street called "Straight" in which Saul of Tarsus was visited by Ananias, by divine command, and received his sight (Acts 9), and the window in the wall from which some disciples let Paul down in a basket to safety (Cor. 11:32). I visited both places and the reputed home of Ananias; after taking some pictures went on a sightseeing tour of the bazaars and places of special historical and classical interest. The Home of Ananias As I stood before the window through which Paul was let down from the wall of Damascus, to save his life, I thought of the words of Acts 9:10-11, "And there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias, and he said, "Behold I am here Lord," And the Lord said unto him, "Arise and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus; for behold he prayeth." If the Lord please, I shall say more in a subsequent note about Damascus. Tuesday morning, we took the large transport bus for Bigdad, rode all night across the Syrian desert and reached Bigdad, "the city of Peace," and the "Arabian Nights," at half past eight next morning, secured hotel accommodations at the Maude Hotel, and started for our sightseeing trip. We began with the Museum of Baglaj where you see relics dug out of the ground from the sites of Babylon. Nineveh, Ur and other places in Mesopotamia, now known by its Arabian name of Iraq. Some of these relics were dug from ruins of ancient buildings at a depth of from 20 to 80 feet below the present surface. Next I visited the ancient sites of Babylon, Kish, and the other places during the six days I was in Bagdad. Visit Planned My next note will be written from Jerusalem, after returning from Egypt and will deal with my observations at Babylon. I shall now speak of the Sabean silver workers in Bagdad. Among other strange beliefs they claim relationship to John the Baptist, whom they worship. Originally they lived in Amarna, but during the World War came down to Bagdad and settled there. They have a secret process of en- Campbell Petitions Return of Pastor At the fourth quarterly conference held last week at the Campbell A.M.E. Church, with Dr. C. H. Wesley, presiding elder of the Potomac District, presiding, the officers and members unanimously requested the return of Dr. P. A. Scott, as pastor, for another year. The same request was made for the continuation of Dr. Charles H. Wesley as presiding elder. The reports at this conference showed excellent work on the part of the pastor, officers and members and they were highly commended by the presiding elder. At the close of this conference a social hour was held under the direction of J. H. Dale, Jr., chairman of the Ways and Means committee.

CAPITOL EMPLOYEE 40 YEARS. DEAD Daniel U. Scott Dies Suddenly After One-Day Illness Daniel Urell Scott, a native of Washington, died at his home, 2021 Vermont Avenue. Friday morning February 22, after an illness of one day. Mr. Scott was an employee of the United States Capitol for nearly 40 years. For a number of years he was messenger to the Finance Committee of the Senate. At the time of his death, he was messenger to the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate. His funeral was held from his home, Monday, February 25. The Rev. R. W. Brooks, minister at Lincoln / Congregational Temple officiated, assisted by the Rev. H. Threlkeld and Dr. D. E. Wiseman. The music was by Miss Virginia Williams, who played Handel's "Largo" and sang as a solo, a favorite hymn of the deceased, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." James Lonack also sang "Two Done My Work." A favorite poem was read by the Rev. Mr. Threlkeld, "Somewhere in Glory Look for Me." The Rev. Mr. Brooks pronounced the eulogy. Remarks were by Dr. D. E. Wiseman, an old friend of many years, and Col. Chelsey C. Jurney, Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, who said "I have known Mr. Scott for 40 years, and I have no greater love for any man than he." Many beautiful floral tributes were sent, among which was a floral piece from "Friends of the Senate." The interment was in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery, the services being completed at the grave by Dr. Wiseman. Mr. Scott's death was a great shock to the community and to his many friends. The community has lost one of its valuable and best citizens. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. M. Annette Johnson Scott, daughter of Mrs. Julia Williams Johnson, and sister of Miss Eva Virginia Johnson. Golden Rule Union Trails in Registration Drive In an effort to maintain the honor won at the convention in Milwaukee in 1933, the Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union of the District has launched a drive under the direction of Elphonzo W. Freeman for 500 registrations for the Philadelphia convention in July by May 15. Mr. Freeman, chairman of the Registrations Committee, announced that the local union is in second place at present. The State of Kansas is leading with Texas in third place. The Christian Endeavor Society of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church was the nation's first honor society having secured 20 registrations. It was tied with a society in San Francisco, Calif., but both will receive honor pennants. Mr. Freeman is also planning a popularity contest to promote the registrations. Mrs. Bessie R. Taylor, president of the Third Baptist Society, announced a special drive would be started within her society. Irish Primate Visits Moon Mission Church School Joseph Cardinal MacRory. Private of all Ireland, visited the Parochial School of St. Benedict; the Moor in West Fifty-third Street, during his brief visit to this city. Of the two hundred parochial schools in the city, St. Benedict's was the only one honored by a visit from the Irish Cardinal. The children of St. Benedict's are taught by the only order of colored nurses in New York, the Handbaids of the Most Pure Heart of Mary, St. Benedict's is the only parochial school, to the best of our knowledge, in the United States taught by colored nurses and who recently had their first group of graduates. The sisters of St. Benedict's school were the first colored nuns that the Cardinal ever saw.

HEYWOOD BROUN TEACHERS' GUEST Noted Columist Wants Better World Now. Did not Eat With Educators ATLANTIC CITY. N.J.—(By Mary J. Washington for A.N.P.)—Through the personal invitation of T. Montgomery Gregory whose classmate he was at Harvard University, Heywood Broun eminent columnist, was the guest of the Atlantic City Study Center at a banquet staged in honor of visiting delegates to the convention of the Department of Superintendence held in this city, last week. Mr. Broun who covered the convention and whose appointment card was filled by demands from many groups, arrived early and spoke before the banquet was served. He proved an extremely affable guest, setting personally all those who desired an introduction. On seeing and hearing the famous critic one is impressed not only by his gigantic frame and unusual height but his evident largeness of spirit, the ringing sincerity of his words and the graciousness of his beaming personality. He said, in part, "I am not pledged to any particular political party but confess that I am looking about for one. Some years ago I was content to look forward to a better world for my grandchildren, but now I've changed. I want a better world now for you and me to enjoy." Jokes About Huey The columnist told a good one on Huey Long. After deliberately getting under the skin of the Bayou Kingfish it seems that the columnist challenged him as to what he planned to do for the Negro upon the realization of his dreams. Whereupon Huey blustered. "Uh-uh-uh-he's going to get the minimum all right; you can just betchg life that I'm going to see that he gets the minimum." And, along with the famous columnist, we know that that's one "fo de lection pledge" that's going to be kept. After his speech, Mr. Broun hastened away to fill another engagement but not before graciously granting a brief interview to this reporter and autographing her press card. Howard Music Artists in Southern Recitals Louis Vaughn Jones, violinist, and William Duncan Allen, pianist, of Howard University School of Music, appeared in a joint recital last Saturday at Talladega College, Talladega, Ala.

NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD LOUIS CONTINUES MARCH TO FISTIC TOP; WINS AGAIN Detroiter Scores Second KO Over Lee Ramage; Latter Well Beaten LOS ANGELES, Cal.-Joe Louis, the sensational Detroit boy who has risen to pugilistic heights with the rapidity of a meteor's call, moved a step nearer the top of the heavyweight ladder by scoring a two-round knockout over Lee Ramage, here last Thursday night. Fifteen thousand persons witnessed the brief affair. The end came two minutes, seven seconds of fighting in the second round. It was a short right cross that stopped the San Diego white boy. Never in Doubt Louis heralded his victory in the first round. Twice he had Ramage on the ropes, and whipped over devastating left books. Then he crossed a right to the chin at close quarters, which sent Lee back on his heels, but the gong sounded before he could go any further. Ramage landed no more than three solid blows during the brief skirmish. His seconds worked over him for 5 minutes after the sudden end before he was able to leave the ring. It was Louis' second victory over Ramage. He had stopped the Californian in the eighth round of a scheduled 10-round bout in Chicago several months ago. TAYLOR, EN ROUTE SOUTH, VISITS Former Manager of Washington Potomacs Starts for Training Camp Ben Taylor, veteran of many a baseball game and former manager of the Washington Potomac, dropped into the city Friday and paid a call at the office of The Tribune. Taylor, who is this year managing the Brooklyn Eagles, was en route south where he said he will establish a training ground for his club which is expected to start priming for the season's work this month. The camp of the Eagles will most likely be located at Jacksonville, Florida, Taylor said. Some of the recent additions to his team are Chelsea Brewer, pitcher, who was formerly with the Washington Pilots; Gibes, a first baseman; Young, catcher, and Double Duty Radcliffe, catcher and pitcher. On his way south Taylor said he will stop over in Richmond, Norfolk and points in North and South Carolina where he will look over prospective recruits for his team. The Eagles are members of the National Negro Baseball Association which consists of nine teams. They are Newark Browns, Homestead, Grays, Detroit Stars, American Giants, the Eagles; Pittsburgh Crawfords; Bacharach Giants; the New York Black Yankees and the Philadelphia Stars. Turkey Pinn Joins Alphas For Kappa Court Game NEW YORK — The undefeated Washington Alphas on March 2, reach what they regard the most critical stage of their drive for the Eastern frat championship. They meet the New York Kappas in a return game at the Rockland Palace.

Final Standings 23.46 22.50 22.35 21.66 Howard ..... Hampton ..... State ..... Lincoln ..... Hampton Second Second place, in the Tribune's tabulation, went to the Hampton Institute five, coached again by Charles H. Williams. The Virginia State College Trojans, tutored by "Sunny Jim" Barnes and considered by many up to the final week of play as having the title clinched, finished third. Lincoln, after a poor start, closed in fourth place. Ten wins out of thirteen games, most of which were played against teams, rated by the Dickinson system of rating used in the C.I.A.A.A. as "first division" teams, was the record gathered by the Blue and White. Margin Close The Pirates, though playing one game less than the Trojans and therefore winning one less than the Petersburgers, moved into second place by the margin of fifteen-hundredths of a point. The difference in the calibre of the teams played by the Hamptonians probably had much to do with their nosing out the Trojans. Howard closed with an unofficial average of 23.46, one and ninety-six-hundredths points better than Hampton. Lincoln won twelve and lost three games. State copped thirteen victories and suffered four setbacks. The Petersburg aggregation found itself nosed out of the top berth when, after running up thirteen straight victories it dropped games to both Hampton and Union on State's own court. D.C. ALPHAS TOP KAPPA QUINT BY 26-14 COUNT Sewall and Reid Star as Locals Capture Ninth Straight Game NEW YORK.—The strong Washington Alpha basketball team continued its fast pace last Saturday nite by touncing the New York Kappas, 26-14, before a meager crowd at the Rockland Palace. It was the Alphas' ninth consecutive triumph of the season. The Alpha and Kappa starting fives, jittery with tenseness that comes with all frat contests, played a rough and colorless first half with the Washingtonians barely eking out a lone point advantage 6 to 5, at the intermission. Poor marksmanship from the free-throw line cost the visitors a possible ten point lead. Alphas Spurt But once the last half began the Alpha gunners unloosened their shots and spurred for a string of nine points to lead 15 to 5 before the Kappas rang the net. The New Yorkers concocted a counter rally to come within three points of the fast-stepping Washingtonians. There the Kappa attack slumped, while the Alpha's offensive caught fire. The Washingtonians now began to exhibit a well-knit attack that penetrated Kappa's haphazard defense with astonishing case. Pinky Clarke and Joe Sewall assumed command of the visitors' offensive and they had the New Yorkers reeling in the waning moments of the game. The minutes were fast ticking away and though the Kappas put everything they had into their play, they simply were no match for the visiting delegation. Joe Sewall, who topped the scorers with 12 points, and Tom Reid were the standout players for the Abbas.

Pictured herewith is the official Washington Tribune All-High basketball team for 1935, as selected by Sam Lacy and Art Carter, Tribune sports reporters. These selections were made after months and months of close observation on the part of the two writers mentioned above. With Carter serving in the role of reporter and Lacy acting as an official and as a spectator, every angle of the game was covered. The choices, therefore, are the result of careful study and actual contact. Armstrong again copped major honors in the first team awards. The championship General team contributed three players, two forwards and a guard, to the mythical team. Dunbar provided the leading center and Cardozo the second guard of experience Coach Jacobs of the Poets has had in many seasons. Fenwick played his usual reliable brand of ball. The selection of the Crimson and Black tip-off man became less of a problem after Joe Hall, veteran Tech pivotman, was forced out by an injury. Maurice (Flip) Jackson, swimmer extraordinaire and tennis player of no mean repute, was easily the outstanding forward of the entire South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference. Although these selections are restricted to th city high schools, Jackson would not have been bothered had they been broader in scope. A dead shot, speedy and angular, the former Francis Junior High School lad was Westmoreland's best bet on the Orange and Blue outfit. He was good at digging the ball out of scrimmage, uncanny at locating teammates with strategic position and as accurate as any in the conference at finding the nets. To add to this this Jackson had the physical advantage of being a southpaw. Left-handed basketball players are exceptionally valuable to a team's offense in view of the difficulty experienced by opponents who attempt to guard them. Running-mate Chosen Wee Willie Watts, captain of the Generals, gathered in the vote for running mate to his fellow-forward of the scholastic series. Watts, rather small of statue but proportionately well-built, developed fast and where he was hard pressed at the opening of the season for the regular berth on the Orange and Blue first five, his play of the latter part of the season stamped him as a Westmoreland sure-thing. The Armstrong floor-leader, though hardly above the average on defensive play, was an ideal wingman for the type of play used by Tech teams. The mastery he displayed in laying out of the defense and falling into action with recovery of the ball by a teammate was nothing short of what could possibly have been expected of him by his tutor. Poet Wins Center Berth The center post goes to the old Dunbar High School war-horse, Francis Fenwick. Though he was hampered by a woefully weak team, perhaps the poorest in point Tech Forward Best gain Wi al 1935 All-High etball Selec Willie Watts and Raleigh Jackson, Francis Fenwi Washington Tribune All-High bas by Sam Lacy and Art Carter, Tri- ter months and months of close ob- ters mentioned above.

The selection of the Crimson and Black tip-off man became less of a problem after Joe Hall, veteran Tech pivotman, was forced out by an injury. Fenwick before his graduation in February proved to be the backbone of the Poet offense. Aside from being high point man, the rangy Dunbar center occupied the main role in getting possession of the ball, advancing it and finding the cage. Little Poet scoring was done this year that the muscular young tip-off man did not play a part in. Hawkins, Clerks' Best Raleigh Hawkins, perhaps one of the best all-round athletes to come under the wing of Jack Young in the latter's reign as coach at the Purple and White institution, gains one of the guard posts. Hawkins, doubtless, is the most improved player of the local lot. His performance of this year so far overshadows his efforts of 1933-34 that he appears to be a different youngster. Having plenty of grit, an ever alert mind, a good floor game and a keen shooting eye. Hawkins established himself as the Clerks' most depenable cog during the year just closed. Although he did not score the points acquired by his teammate Flatney Marshall, Hawkins was always a factor in his team's scoring. On numerous occasions it was a deceptive pass from him to a well placed mate or an unexpected interception that threw the entire opposition off balance that proved a point-getter for the Cardozoites Third General Named A stellar defensive man, a good running guard, a capable shooter and an ideal running mate to Hawkins, Norman (Allen Opp) Watkins of Armstrong turns up as the other guard choice. With the possible exception of Lewis of Douglass High School, Baltimore, Watkins was about the best the conference had to offer in the way of guards during the year just closed. This, however, is no reflection on Hawkins who has already been named by this column. Hawkins was handicapped by being connected with a weaker team than either Lewis or Watkins. Few guards could boast the abil- WEEK ENDING MARCH. 9. 1935 Scholastic ections Armsstrong Shah Hawkins.

Youths Clash on Card The Metropolitan Baptist Church Boys' Club of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. staged its first recreational exhibition, Monday night in the Y.M.C.A. gymnasium. The events were opened with a boys' shuttle relay race and closed with a thrilling basketball game between the Metropolitan team and Asbury M.E. Church. The basketball game kept the packed gallery of parents and friends on edge throughout the contest. The Mets jumped to an early lead of 5-0, but at the half Asbury lads were in front 16-9. Boston of the Mets found the basket frequently but could not match the sharp shooting of Matthews, Roberts and E. Williams. A last minute spurt by Asbury put the game on ice.

HOWARD, LINCOLN IN COURT CLASH Bisons Seek Revenge For Lions' Victories in the North Conceded the C.I.A.A. championship for the second year in succession by unofficial compilation of the Dickerson system ratings. Coach Johnny Burr's basketball quint will be seeking revenge from the Lincoln Lions when the two foes meet tonight (Thursday) in a benefit clash at the Masonic Temple. Howard defeated the Lions earlier this season in a conference encounter at the university gymnasium but the Lions turned the tables in games at Orange, N.J. and New York City. Although the game will have no bearing on the conference standing, the Bisons have an opportunity to even the series between their ancient rivals. The clash will be the feature of a benefit game and dance to raise funds for a new gymnasium at Lincoln. The Lincoln Alumni Association is sponsoring the affair.

This shot started a rally that gave the Minerites a seven-point advantage that was never overtaken by the visitors. Givens, visitors' forward, was the only threat on the Dover quint.

The program included boxing with the Southwest Community House boys, a fencing demonstration given by the Howard University fencing team with wrestling and basketball completing the program. The boxing card kept many fight fans on edge during the matches. Reginald Ballard lost a very close decision to Edward Chapple of the Southwest House in the opener. Ballard, a good puncher found the going rather rough from the opening round to the close. The only win for the Southwest lads came in this match while the only win for the playground-community lads coming when James Howard defeated James Howard defeated James Montgomery in a two fast and furious rounds. Two draw bouts were with Morris Carter, Southwest, and Willia Fairfax on one end, and Isaac Settles of Southwest trying to eliminate Charles Johnson. Both bouts were well fought from gong to gong. Dick Temple and Art Carter are coaches for Southwest House. In a special exhibition bout, Charles Harris took on two contenders, Bernard Clark and Gus Johnson, both of the Southwest House. All showed considerable skill in the defensive arts. Fencing Exhibited The fencing of the Howard University representatives gave the audience something seldom seen in By Byron (Speed) Reilly (For the Associated Negro Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—Northern California fistic fans are all agog over the announcement that Joe Louis had been signed by Joe Palazola, promoter of Dream land Auditorium, to meet Donald "Red" Barry in a 10-round bout here tomorrow (Friday) night. Louis, John Roxborough, Julian Black and Trainer Jack Blackburn, arrived here last week to start training for the combat. They came straight from a sensational two-round knockout over Lee Ranage at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles last Thursday night. Barry Fought Lewis the stock of the Roxborough-Black "investment" rose many points with California fans following his decisive victory over Lee Ramage and while Barry is not a clever boxer like the former, he is a tough rugged chap and late last year went to a ten-round draw with John Henry Lewis, popular light heavyweight. He then crossed the Bay to Oakland to garner a ten-round nod over "Tiger" Jack Box, sepia mitt slinger from the East. Louis and his managers are being swamped with offers, both Sacramento and Oakland vying for his services along with local promoters, but to date they have been unable to offer enough compensation. Louis is not stepping in the rving for less than a $5,000 guarantee and his 25 per cent of the Los Angeles bout came from a gate of over $30,000 these parts. The team is coached by Darwin E. Smith staff sergeant of the U.S. Army. Bernett Rhetta, of Baltimore, lost his match to Coloridge Gill, a veteran at the foils. In the wrestling matches Daniel Robinson drew with Matthew Toyer. Robinson had Toyer going a number of times but had to give in to a draw when the time bell sounded. In the basketball game, Rose Park lost to Dunbar Center 29-20.

The new champion is Chick Webb, the famous "midget" bandmaster, who was acclaimed in a gigantic ovation for the remarkable record he set at Detroit recently when he and his Chicks did the rhythmic honors to the unprecedented number of 5,400 dance-lovers at the fashionable Gravstone ballroom. Chick who was billed in a special holiday celebration in Harlem with Willie Bryant and Teddy Hill, received the ovation modestly, and promised to let Harlem in on his tricks as he began his week's engagement at the Harlem Opera House, last Friday.

It is this hectofoore unmatched pair that features the picture "After Office Hours," which has seen a brief but successful existence since its Hollywood release and which appears at the Republic beginning Thursday midnight (torright). Beginning Friday, the Howard Theatre presents as its stage attraction, Mannie Smith, widely known "Queen of the Blues." Miss Smith has long held the title as queen and originator of Blues Songs. Like Sophie Tucker she has a style all her own and has the distinction of being one of Victor's outstanding recording artists.

But how do you act now when you hear the sound of a siren or see the speeding fire trucks dash by? Are you tempted to chase them? Do you still feel you want to be the man behind the wheel, or the fireman clutching a rail as the truck swings around a corner. Like Bruce Cabot, playing a fire-chasing reporter in "Night Alarm," a mystery melodrama coming to Dunharr Theatre, Thursday and Friday, March 14-15, the fever never wears out with many men. The roar of trucks, the shrill shrieks of sirens, the billows of smoke and the crackling of burning wood sends the blood up, and many a dignified gentleman loses his dignity when he hears the town cunef and starts chasing and puffing after the racing vehicles. Where once it was volunteer firemen who helped pull the hand pumps to the fire, today there are gentlemen who stand longingly on the side-lines watching the fire and RAPHAEL A Lightman Theatre ho is scheduled for a local appeara- col Auditorium next Friday night. by the College Women's Alumnae hoping the chief might allow them to hold a straining water line. Unlike many fire-chasers, Cabot utilizes his hobby to a profitable advantage. In "Night Alam," respon- ding t fire-calls as the reporter on a metropolitan newspaper, he eventually uncovers the conspiracy that is making his town an easy prey for a pyromaniac. Judith Allen plays a fellow reporter whose father is head of the ring that controls the town and unscrupulously jeopardizes the lives of many who work in the city's industries. H. E. Warner is seen as the father, while Sam Hardy plays a managing editor and Cabot's boss. -:-Lincoln-:- There have been any number of screen spectacles based on the lives and adventures of fighting men, but never one of the calibre of "Lives of A Bengal Lancer" which will be the feature attraction at the Lincoln Theatre for one week only beginning Friday. Over four years in the making, it employed more than four thousand actors in scenes shot in the mountains of India and in five separate locations in California, Gary Cooper, Franck Tone, Richard Cromwell, Monte Blue, C. Aubrey Smith and Kathleen Burke head the cast of the picture. The drama arises between Sir Guy Standing, who plays a crusty, hard-shelled colonel, and his subordinate officers. The story of "The Lives Of A Bengal Lancer" is that of the extraordinary bravery, discipline and skill that has enabled a mere handful of English officers to hold sway over the teaming millions of India.

In this lusty drama of New York society, the press and a murder, Gable is cast as Branch, managing editor who always gets his story, Constance Bennett is Sharon Branch's society reporter. Rich, smart and independent, it is the kind of role with which she has built her fame.

Others in the cast are Stuart Erwin Billie Burke, Harvey Stephens and Henry Arnetta. ::Booker T.:: Those who revere the memory of some school teacher will be particularly interested in the new May Robson starring feature, "Grand Old Girl" which will be shown at the Booker T.

Although she knows that it may cost both her job and her retirement pension, the aged principal conducts a spirited one-woman campaign to rid the town of a secret drinking and gambling place which threatens the moral welfare of her students. Here is a picture that will appeal to every man, woman and child who ever went to school, "Grand Old Girl" is dedicated to the school teachers of America. Others in the cast are Mary Carlisle, Fred MacMurray and Alan Hale. THRILLING DRAMA PRESENTED BY A. & T. DRAMATIC CLUB GREENSBORO, N.C.—"Trapped," a three-act mystery drama by Fredrich G.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL John Long, Long, Slim Figure, Long Exponent of Dance, Dies BY ORRIN C. EVANS PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—With the death of "Professor" John Long, 1515 Kater Street, last Thursday, in the Graduate Hospital, 19th and Lombard Streets, died many a ghost of the olden cavotte, the waltz Boston, the scotise and hodignity and grace of the famous "square dances" which had their genesis in the Mauve Decade. John Long was as insperably tied to the dancing of the era of stiffly starched, rustling ladies' undergarments, to the days of meticulously sideburned gentlemen to whom the pivotte on the ballroom floor was an almost sacred gesture of gentility as is the "Collegiate" to the roistering buckroes who clamor noisily across the gleaming surface of local dance palaces Seriously did John Long assume his role as monitor in dance halls here as late as a decade ago. The "Bunny Hug," the "Shimmy," the "Collegiate" were abominations to John Long—and he loudly proclaimed his everlasting distate for these more modern wrinkles in the baedeker of dance. With probably nothing more substantial than the memories of his position of grandeur as arbiter of the dance here to afford him solace, John Long quietly passed away last Thursday, a victim of a serious stomach malady. For years—you oldsters can harken back to the days—John Long conducted a dancing school at the northwest corner of 17th and Kater Streets. Waldorf Castle was the flambouyant title under which it was known in the days when men were men and ladies were adept in the art of the "light fantastic." One grim shadow flitted across the death bed of John Long, familiar figure of the night rendezvous. That shadow was a rift between the old dancing master and his sister, Mrs. Maggie Hunter, of 769 S. 16th Street. For years the two had not spoken. Nor did the shadow of death close the breach. A native of Greenwood, S.C., John Long had been a resident here for years. His mother, Mrs. Chaney Long, has been dead for years, and so far as could be determined by newspapermen there are none surviving Long other than his estranged sister. HOWARD 7th & T N. W.

SIXTEEN WIFE SEEKS TO DIVORCE HUBBY SHE FEARS Court Told Mate Accused Her of Intimacy with Own Brother Complaining that her husband, Joseph E. Eskridge, 1770 Euclid Street, Northwest—during a course dubise and general mistreatment had even gone so far as to ac- cuse her of intimacy with her own brother, Mrs. Alice Eskridge 637 QI Street, Northwest, entered the court late last week in an effort to obtain limited divorce and main- tenance. Mrs. Eskridge, represented by Attorney Harry Dyson, described a series of ill treatments ranging from petty accusations to physical assaults in her petition. She told of an abrupt end to their mutual bliss of five months which lasted from May, 1933, to October, 1938, the dates of their marriage in Baltimore and his first attack upon her respectively.' Beaten at Mother's Home The wife pictured for the court how Eskridge had first set upon her in the home of her mother with whom they were both then living at 687 Q Street. She described subsequent beatings at 1913 Ninth Street, Northwest to which place they moved leaving the Q Street residence, and at 2357 Champlain Street, Northwest where they later moved. On several of these occasions, the wife averred, police had to be called in to quiet Eskridge. She explained her reason for refusing to prosecute as being a hope to eventually recover the peace and harmony her marriage venture had lost. Extremely Jealous It was also during one of these fits of rage, the wife declared, that Eskridge allegedly accused her of being intimate with her brother. Mrs. Eskridge stated that her husband's jealous nature had served to render their wedded life most unpleasant for both of them. Mrs. Eskridge, according to her bill of campaint, was compelled on last Thursday to abandon their Champlain Street residence.

WASHINGTON HITS NEGRO ADVISORS (Continued from page 1) negative one, based upon the assumption that the Negro is not, or will not be getting a square deal. When, you find an adviser who is extremely well liked by the department for which he works, you can usually count on it that he is not doing a great deal of good for the race. It is not Mr. Washington's opinion that any of the Federal Administrators, from the President down, are particularly interested in giving the Negro full and complete integration into their programs, and he stated that the programs, themselves, are often so arranged as to keep the Negro from each inclusion. Racial Interests not Protected It is not the aim of the New Deal administration to change the status of the Negro in industry, government, and the like," he said "and if Negroes think that because E. K. Jones, H. A. Hunt, L. A. Oxley, Clark Forman, Bott Vanm, and myself, when I was there (February 1 to September 1, 1934) are down there in Washington, they can just lay back and good care will be taken of the race, they are terribly mistaken. Attempts to bring about miracles through winning people by personality and other forms of indirection such as an adviser must resort to, never have or never will get the Negro anywhere." In regard to the social securities bill pending in Congress, Mr Washington pointed out several bad features of its provisions. "The largest class of Negro workers will be neglected in that bill, if it is passed without amendment," he said, pointing out that domestics and farm laborers will not receive its benefits and that it puts more power in the hands of the southern states than any previous recovery measure, by providing that the states will supervise the administration of social insurance and old age pensions, thus making it certain that Negroes would be "burned up" as far receiving anything is concerned. Dependent Negro May Become Chronie At the present time, he maintained, the Negro is well on the way to becoming a chronic dependent, and that was being brought about by his being displaced from jobs. The following harmful features of the recovery program to the Negro were pointed out: Cotton average reduction has worked to the detriment of the rural Negro. Of the 65 federal subsistence homesteads, none is for colored people, the worst housed group in the country. Negroes have no supervisory officers in the C.C.C. The slum clearance projects for Negroes have lagged, while those for whites have been brought to completion, or are in the course of being completed. Hatred against us for taking public moneys is being whipped up by Negrophiles, such as the Governor of Georgia, who stated as his reason for fighting against an old folks pension act was "that too many Negroes get the benefit from it." While we look at the sum of money being spent on the Negro for relief, we must also consider that sum in its relation to the total sum being spent. Mr. Washington said, warning Negroes that they must not be too jubilant because they get the crumbs from the Recovery table. Eugene K. Jones, on the other hand, took the attitude that the Negro has received more than his share of government support and is getting all that he can expect under the circumstances. He showed that millions of dollars had been dealt the Negro by the various Federal agencies, and that thousands of Negroes had been sustained and employed by the efforts of the National Recovery Ad. administration. "Over a thousand Negroes have been given jobs by the department in which I work," he pointed out. Repertory Players Now Rehearsing New Plays Repertory Players are in the process of adding three plays to their repertoire. The plays in rehearsal are, "Grits," by James Butcher, "The No 'Count Boy,' by Paul Green and "Mandy's Son," by Thomas Richardson, James Butcher is directing. The Players took their second step in their program of presenting plays at any place, under any conditions and on any stage when they presented three one-act plays before a small but appreciative audience at St. George's Parish Hall, Friday. The plays were especially well done and the acting sincere and convincing. Scenery was done by Henry Hudson. The Negro Repertory Players will appear in several out of town engagements before playing Washington again on April 1. Columbia Lodge of Elks called off its scheduled dance last Friday when the lodge failed to secure a dispensation for the affair. The National Capital City Lodge, a recently formed group, had advertised its inaugural ball for the same night. The new Lodge held its dance at the Masonic Temple with one of the largest crowds of the season in attendance. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING MARCH, 9, 1935 New Trial Sought in $75,000 Suit Against Bus Company Directed Verdict Granted Grey Hound Lines When Court Rules in Favor of Transit Officials Who Had Woman Ejected From Bus By W. Harold Flowers A motion for a new trial was filed in the District Supreme Court, Saturday, in the case of Mamie Kinchlow against the People' Rapid Transit Company and the Richmond Grey Hound Lines, by Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr., attorney for Mrs. Kinchlow of New York City. A motion for a directed vernal made by G.

Mrs. Kinchlow testified that she bought a ticket in New York City for Norfolk, enroute to a funeral of a relative. Upon reaching the District of Columbia, Mrs. Kinchlow stated that the bus driver called her attention to the Virginia laws and told her that she could remain where she was seated until the passengers reached the Virginia state line. Asked $75,000 The suit brought by Mrs. Kinchlow was for $75,000 in damages, as a result of an ejection from a bus of the company on August 2, 1932, at Alexandria, Mrs. Kinchlow was arrested by police officers of Alexandria when she refused to comply with the request of the bus driver to move to back seats, in accordance with Virginia State laws. Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue, who presided over the trial, stated that the court took notice of the stegregation laws of Virginia, in granting the motion for a directed verdict in favor of the companies. Bus not Held Liable The trial took a decided turn when the attorneys for the transit company brought up the question of participation of the employees of the companies in causing the ejection and arrest of Mrs. Kinchlow. The court held that the act of the bus driver in calling the policemen and pointing out Mrs. Kinchlow, was not sufficient parti- RETIRED TREASURY EMPLOYEE DIES P. H.

Mrs. Kinchlow testified that she bought a ticket in New York City for Norfolk, enroute to a funeral of a relative. Upon reaching the District of Columbia, Mrs. Kinchlow stated that the bus driver called her attention to the Virginia laws and told her that she could remain where she was seated until the passengers reached the Virginia state line. Refuses to Move Upon reaching the state line, Mrs. Kinchlow refused to move according to testimony given by the officers and other witnesses. She was arrested by officers summoned to the bus by the driver, and convicted on a charge of disorderly conduct with a fine of $25 and costs. Mr. Johnson will argue the motion for a new trial on the ground that the decision of the court was contrary to the evidence and that the act of the bus driver in pointing out Mrs. Kinchlow to police officers, was a violation of the company's duty owed to a passenger, when not in violation of company rules and regulations. STUDENT GROUPS FORM CLUBS TO AID ABYSSINIA WILBERFORCE, Ohio.—An organization known as "The Friends of Abyssinia," Chapter No. 1, was started by a large group of students at Wilberforce University, Thursday. The formation of the chapter grew out of an address made by Bishop R. C. Ransom. The purpose of the organization is to create and spread a nationwide sympathy-in interest in behalf of the Abyssinians now struggling to defend their country against Italy invading their territory and taking possession of their rich mineral lands, to maintain their sovereignty as a government, and to ask other nations to look with disfavor a declaration recently made by Benito Mussolini that Italy would mobilize 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 men to "face any eventuality." A committee was appointed to draft an appeal to be sent to colleges throughout the United States to enlist the co-operation of students and to organize like chapters, expressing themselves against the attitude of the government of Italy, also to make an appeal to the press of the United States and Europe to arouse sentiment against war, and that the United States use its good offices to avert war by arbitration. Free contributions will be asked and all funds given be sent to the Abyssinian Government. BOY FRIEND IS HELD IN SLAYING (Continued from page 1) Williams was arrested by Lieutenant C. J. Weber and Sergeants A. M. Tolson and C. N. Strange of the headquarters homicide squad, and Detectives Ashley and Pittman, assigned to the Second Precinct. He was taken into custody at 1:45 a.m., Friday, at 705 Seventh Street, Northwest. The inquest was held Monday at the District Morgue, Dr. A. Magruder McDonald, presiding. Police Puzzled Jackson and Williams, according to the corroborative versions given by Mrs. Jackson and her son, Junius, aged 12, engaged in an argument just prior to the tragic combat. Both appeared unbiased and police, disregarding Williams' claim of being first assaulted, were troubled to determine the real aggressor. Mrs. Jackson stated she had been separated from her husband for eight years. She declared that during that time she had become friendly with Williams, a friendship she admitted in a private interview with the Tribune had bordered on intimacy. No Previous Differences She further testified that her husband and Williams had never quarrelled prior to Thursday. As far as she knew, she intimated, they harbored no ill feelings toward each other. On that night, however, they became involved in a controversy over attentions being paid Mrs. Jackson by Williams.

BRIEF MEDITATION BOARD GETS R.R. BRIEF (Continued from page 1) prosperous years, Negro employment on railroads decreased and that during the last few years of unemployment the percentage of decrease among Negro employment has been much greater than the whites. The brief states that the reason for this decreased in employment of Negro and increase in the employment of whites has been and is due to the practice of allowing the white organization to make the contracts with the railroad company for themselves and Negroes, the very people who are competitors for their jobs making contracts for them. It further states that the Negro is shut off from protesting concerning the unfairness of the contracts before the Meditation Board and other boards set up by the Government to adjust disputes between carrier and employee. Employees Shot in South The brief further calls the board's attention to the practices in the South of shooting colored foremen while on duty, and asks that a Federal law be passed, giving the Federal courts jurisdiction in such matters. It seems that there is a Federal law which makes it a crime for a person to break a seal on a car, but no law to make it a crime to kill a human being while on duty on a railway train. Seek Own Contracts Even if the $t_{e}$ attorneys for the railway employees succeed in getting the Meditation Board to take jurisdiction in the matter of complainant in the carrying out of the contracts mentioned above, the employees will never get real justice until they have a right to make their own contracts. To this end the attorneys $t_{n}$ endeavoring to have the 1934, Railway Labor Act amended, giving the colored employees that right. The railway employees have the best chance now that they have ever had in the whole history of their railroad life, to have passed legislation beneficial to them. It depends upon the interest railroad men have in this program and how they are going to support it.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL LACK OF CIVIC INTEREST LAID TO VIRGINIANS Henson C. Thompson Scores With Facts the Laxity of Arlington Voters (Special to the Tribune) ARLINGTON, Va.—Henson C. Thompson, corresponding secretary of the Nauck Citizens' Association cites some facts pertaining to the last general election situation here, and states that one is amazed at the deplorable showing made by the Negroes. Out of 5,434 votes cast, 396 were cast by Negroes, leaving a balance of 5,038 or a percentage of thirteen to one. According to the United States Census Bureau, the Negro population in 1930 in this county was 3,337 and of this number, approximately 2,000 were of voting age.After deducting those who never have and probably never will show any civic pride and those who, because of the depression, maintain that they are unable to pay their poll tax, there still remains at least 1,200 people who should have voted in that election. Stated Mr. Thompson: "Instead of the measley 396 votes cast by Negroes on that day, we should have marched to the ballet box 1,200 strong. Such a showing in spite of the fact that all over the county Negroes are trying to have better conditions brought about is deplorable. "Back to more facts. According to the treasurer's office of Arlington County, the records show that, at some time during the past three years 373 women and 428 men actually paid poll taxes, making a total of 801 persons (more than twice the number that voted in the last general election) although at least 400 more names should have been added to the poll tax list. Power of the Ballot "How long will the Negroes of Arlington County sleep on this power—power of the ballot—and be satisfied with the small ratio of votes, as compared to the population? How long before we will awaken and grasp our civic and political prerogatives? If we do not use our ballot, then we must be satisfied with the crumbs from the table, so to speak. "We read daily of activities going on in the county among other groups of people, of laws being passed for better conditions, of efforts being made to improve schools, and yet, we sit supinely by, hoping by some kindly providence, something will be done for us when we, ourselves, possess the means to bring about our own desires through the power of the ballot. "It is no purpose of this statement to give the impression that positively no interest is being shown on the part of any Negroes. Certain organizations have worked diligently to bring about the desired results, but because of lack of interest on the part of the majority, some of the organizations have vanished. There still are, however, a few organizations and individuals also, who are working diligently for the betterment of conditions, and with the proper leadership and co-operation of these several organizations in uniting themselves to fight on common grounds, the coveted goal will become a realization." Election Time Approaches Mr. Thompson points out that four years have passed since the last general election and states that the time is at hand for another such election. He asks will the Negroes of Arlington County be found wanting? Will the poll tax be paid in time to vote in the fall election? Will those who do pay the tax, take the time to vote? He asserts, "These are the things upon which we must concentrate now. In order to be eligible to vote in the fall election, poll taxes must be paid by May, the exact date will be announced later. After the poll taxes are paid, registration is next in order. "We can not expect always to reap where we have not sown, or to profit by the labors of others. Every individual must be zealous in his duties and alert to every opportunity to strengthen our cause." Two Dog Victims Two young children were bitten by dogs, early this week.

Innocent victims, all of them, they romped and laughed gleefully, unaware of the unenviable spotlight they occupied. 'Holy Ghost' Baby Mothers Now Happy; Court Gives up Babes PHILADELPHIA—One of this city's most talked of trials has come to a partial conclusion insofar as the children in the Talaferro's case is concerned. "Father" Chester Talaferro's score of "Holy Ghost" baby mothers became happy once more last Wednesday morning when with a few exceptions, their babies were returned to them by Judge Charles L. Brown in Juvenile Court. The 24 babies were brought to court in several taxicabs by officials of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which has had charge of them since the sensational raid on Talaferro's "Saint's Rest" at 2022 N. Camac Street, three weeks ago. All indications previous to Wednesday's hearing were that the county would take charge of the babies until they reached the age of 14 because of the charge that the mothers were immoral. But as each mother's case was heard separately before the court social workers announced that their investigation of the cases indicated that in nearly all there were existent stray husbands or relatives who would make room for the children. The husbands and relatives stood before the judge while the parents' pleas were being made. Each mother was again asked the question as to the father of their children. The inevitable answer was "God" or the "Holy Spirit." The children of Magdalene Williams, one of the mothers, were placed in the county's care because she was sent by the Municipal Court for mental examination to the Philadelphia General Hospital the week before. Solomon David Medley, one of the children of Truphania Medley, another mother, is also in the hospital suffering from an ailment. Talioferro Awaits Mental Examination Taliaferro himself is still there awaiting the results of a mental examination. His man Friday, Charles Johnson, is also undergoing examination.

Vernon Street. the father had been estranged from the mother and he said in court that he did not know until the raid that she was an inmate of the Saint's Rest. Similar disposition was made of the other children. Moral Charges Soon Lucretia Preston, 13 year-old daughter of the Prestons and also an inmate of the Rest remains in the hospital, though the reason of her confinement was not stated in court. It has been reported that a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor may be preferred against Talliaferro in her case. Talliaferro has, each of the three times he has been arrested in the last seven years, pleaded insanity. In some quarters his insanity is doubted. He has boasted that he will never remain confined for long anywhere. The babies looked healthy and well at the hearing. Their mothers were happy when they first saw their babies in the reception room of the court previous to the hearings. The children clung close to the parents. County economy was cited by social workers. One reason that the twenty-four babies were not placed in county charges as would have been done in normal times.

McDowell Delivers Address at University Bishop William Fraser McDowell retired, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, delivered the Charter Day address at the sixty-eighth anniversary celebration of the founding of Howard University in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, Friday morning. The exercises which began at 11 o'clock were preceded by a colorful academic procession of Trustees, administrative officers, deans and faculties of the nine schools and colleges of the university and invited guests. Dr. Johnson Speaks President Mordecai W. Johnson, in introducing Bishop McDowell, stated that the bishop was born in 1858, nine years before, the founding of Howard University, and that his life has extended over and beyond the entire period of the liberty of the American Negro; that he had climbed the entire ladder of university training, finally obtaining his doctor of philosophy's degree; that thereafter he went into the active pastorate from which, through service of increasing power, he had advanced to the bishop. Dr. Johnson further stated that Bishop McDowell "has had a powerful part in the transformating not only of public ideal but of the fundamental structure of American life," and that, "he represents in his person the depth, the richness and the power that a university-trained man is capable of attaining." Bishop McDowell's Address Bishop McDowell, in his address called attention to the fact that a little more than 50 years ago he was graduated from the professional school preparatory to entering upon the work of the ministry to which he has now given more than half a century of service. He spoke upon the subject, "A significant Recollection," referring to a series of conversations between himself and the late Bishop Bashford of China, during their university life. He referred to the fact that they came to the conclusion that their ministry would lie, broadly speaking, between 1880 and 1930, and in order to do anything in these fifty years, they decided that they must, as far as it was possible understand the currents, the intellectual trends, the social movements and the forces likely to dominate and control during that period. Must Perform Service Bishop McDowell stated that the reminiscence was mentioned "solely for the purpose of saying that every generation of students must perform a like service and also must perform it for themselves." "And here on this anniversary of the founding of Howard University I lift that principle before its graduates and friends and before the institution itself. For the principle that we were trying to follow holds with reference to the life of institutions as well as individuals." BANK EXPLAINS DISMISSAL OF EMPLOYEES LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ANP)—Following widespread protests over the dismissal of ten colored janitors as an "economy measure," the Security First National Bank issued a statement this week that they have "consistently avoided the release of colored employees." "We were compelled to consolidate two of our largest downtown banks which were located at the same intersection," declared C. A. Lincoln, assistant vice-president. "As for any discrimination against the colored race, we believe it to be a fact that this bank has always employed and does employ more colored people than any other banking institution in this city. "We have more than 100 colored persons in our employ at this time, most of them at salaries considerably above those specified by the NRA code. Furthermore, during the period of the depression when it has been necessary to reduce our forces, we have consistently avoided the release of colored people and have released a proportionately higher number of white persons."

BOSTON TO ORGANIZE MUSICIANS POSTON (ANP)—According to an announcement made by Emanuel Mansfield, prominent local musician, plans for re-organizing the Boston Branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians is progressing favorably. A mass musical was scheduled to be held last Sunday at the Primitive African Art Center on Hardwick Street, at which the proposal was to be discussed. --- Reporter Gets a Kick Out of Part Played in Beavers' Welcome Star of "Imitation of Life" Cordially Greeted on Arrival in Capital City "AUNT DELILAH" OF FILM, VERY HUMAN Eats Ham 'n Eggs, Smokes Cigarettes and Talks Like Us By SAMUEL LACY A committee of theatrical, social and welfare leaders, headed by Rufus G. Byars, general supervisor of the Lichtman Amusement Enterprises, was on hand to welcome Miss Louise Beavers, nationally famous movie actress on her arrival in Washington early last Friday morning. George H. Clarke, manager of the Lincoln Theatre where Miss Beavers closed a week of personal appearances last Thursday night, assisted in tendering a reception to the celebrity. Others in the delegation included: Mrs. Beatrice Francis, Mrs. Virginia McGuire, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, Miss Selika Pettiford, Mrs. Olivia Doctor, Mrs. Doyle G. Brooks, Walter L. Reeves, Louis R. Lautier, Frederick Weaver, W. A. Graves and the writer. Now that they will probably pass the desk of the editor—the customary news "lead" having been disposed of—the writer is going into it with a little less journalistic stiffness. There is altogether too much "starch" in the orthodox news story to properly describe the arrival of a woman with the grace, poise and quality of humanness that are Miss Beaver's. The star, plainly dressed in a traveling ensemble of black turban hat, Hudson seal coat, black and white polka-dot blouse with black jersey coatsuit, black oxford, black purse and gloves, alighted from a New York train at 7:50 o'clock. At 7:55 a.m., she walked up the boardway accompanied by Mr. Clarke, Mr. Byars and Miss Irene Hill whom Miss Beavers modestly calls her traveling companion. injoys Early Breakfast The party was whisked through streets thinly populated with cars driven by heavy-eyed operators to Harrison's Cafe, where a table had already been prepared for a morning meal. After a breakfast of grape-fruit, oatmeal, ham, eggs, french-fried potatoes, wheat muffins and coffee. Miss Beavers began an interesting narration of her experiences. Flushing a huge dinner ring and three more conservative diamonds; the popular star of "Imitation of Life" told her story; half of her own volition and half in answer to questions fired at her by members of the press. She is very natural. She ate the "two-on-a-raft," did not squawk for a finger-bowl, winked as the writer wined his bride across his tongue and talked without the broad "a." She told of her start as an amateur in a ladies' minstrel, composed of 62 girls, and how her first call to a screen test resulted in disappointment. Summoned to take a part in the production, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Miss Beavers experienced the bitterness of being turned down as unfit for the part. So she returned to the minstrel, playing for various federation affairs, church programs and the like until finally the group was favored by an offer to play a "dark house"—which we learned to be the theatrical parlance for a closed theatre. When "Green Parrot" was in the making, Miss Beavers told her listeners, she got her first opportunity in pictures. Her initial chance, then, occurred as a member of the supporting cast in the silent photoplay, in which starred the still famous Anna Mae Wong. "Geraldine," with Eddie Quillan and Marian Nixon, was the first talkie in which she won a part Miss Beavers went on. And her first big talking-picture was "Coquette." Can't Explain Choice Arked how she happened to be selected for the part, "Aunt Deilah," in "Imitation of Life." Misa Beavera frankly admitted she did not know. "All I know," she declared, "was that I received word from Universal that I had been chosen for a part and to report at a certain date." The meal finished, dishes cleared away and the star puffing on a cigarette, she became the object of incessant questioning. "No," she replied to one such query. "I have never worked as a domestic in my life although that belief is general everywhere I go." "Oh, my yes. I've played the part of maid for any number of the stars, but I've never been hired out to them like that in private life." "My home? Yes. I live in Los Angeles." You Would Ask That "My age? Now do, I have to answer that?" "Well, no," she turned in the direction of another questioner. "I THREE can't say that I did like the book. 'Imitation.' And I didn't like the original script of the story for the picture either—that is, not until they made such changes as struck me as proper." "Well, yes, it was the word 'niger' I objected to." "Oh well, it was removed and the word 'black' substituted throughout at my suggestion. You know I felt that although I needed the money as badly as anybody and had to work I had no right to sell my race for the sake of a few parity dollars." Miss Beavers then refused to answer any more questions until she had explained her position. She stated that she did not wish to pose as one who was so valuable that the producers could not have done without her. Objected to "Nigger" "I simply voiced my objections," she said, "and the director asked me what I thought would remedy the situation. I told him that I believed the word 'black' used in the places calling for the word 'nigger' would be less offensive to the millions of Negroes who were expected to see the picture." "At first they didn't want to make the change," she continued. "They said that it would probably weaken the story. It developed, however, that the change was noticeable in only one place and that was missed by the majority of the readers of the story who later saw the picture." Asked to go on, Miss Beavera said, "Ia was where little 'Peola' was required to cry out. I'm not black, I won't be black, Jessie called me black.'" "After going over the entire script with blue pencil, making the change, it was agreed by all concerned that the story had lost very little, if any, of its effectiveness. And then the work began. I was rehearsed, and rehearsed, and rehearsed some more. I never had to say one word so much before in all my life. I was made to say 'black' over and over again, and then some more. This was to avoid any possibility of a slip on my part." Likes Claudette Colbert "How did you find working with Claudette Colbert?" "She was fine," was the prompt reply. "Miss Colbert is one of the most thorough women in Hollywood." Miss Beavers declared. "After helping me throughout the making of the picture, she wired me on the night of the premier showing." "The whole picture is yours," the telegram read, 'and I hope it will mean the beginning of bigger and better things for you.'" (Screen folk use the expression "the picture is yours" when they wish to admit it was stolen from them.) Miss Beavers then told her listeners of the conversation' she had with the white star when she acknowledged receipt of the telegram, "I called her on the telephone at her Beverly Hills home." the colored artist declared, "I thanked her for her nice telegram and told her how much I appreciated it." Was Sincere "I'd never have sent it," she said Miss Colbert replied, "if I had not meant every word of it, and I'd like for them to write some more for you and me." Miss Beavers then told of a tribute that was paid to her by Fannie Hurst, author of the story, during the former's stay in New York when she was appearing at the Roxy Theatre there. After exchanging opinions of the story itself, Miss Beavers and Miss Hurst took up a discussion of the picture. The well known author told the colored star that she was deeply grateful to her for the manner in which she handled the role of "Delilah." Praised by Author "You really got a great deal more out of the part than even I expected could be gotten out of it." Miss Beavers declared Miss Hurst told her. By this time it was becoming apparent that Miss Beavers was tiring and was anxious to get to her quarters at 1226 U Street, Northwest. Although she kept that constant smile on her face and answered all her interviewers with alacrity the more observant of the group could perceive the strain on the actress. Leaving the cafe, Miss Beavers climbed into the car of Mrs. Eyers and was carried to U Street, the home of Mrs. Ruth Cumber, where Miss Ethel Waters had stayed during the week previous when she was appearing at a downtown theatre in "As Thousands Cheer." As the machine pulled away from the curb Miss Beavers lighted another cigarette. Perhaps the Hollywood star is aware of the fact that Mr. Byars doesn't like to get too close to cigarettes.

WEEK ENDING MARCH 9, 1935 PUBLIC DEMANDS OFFICIAL PROBE Despite the fact that the parties involved in a face-slapping incident here last week were widely discussed about town and the alleged principals in the affair refused to deny or confirm the rumor, the administrative officers of the school have not only seen fit to ignore such a serious rumor but all have refused to even take the time to investigate the affair in an attempt to at least ascertain whether it is false or true. The report came to The Tribune that a principal slapped a teacher at one of the local schools and a private probe of the affair by this office brought nothing more to light than a statement by officers of the school to the effect that the matter had not been brought to their attention officially. One member of the Board of Education stated that he had been informed of the matter unofficially and from other sources it has been alleged that the face-slapping incident was hushed in the office of an administrative principal. It was also pointed out that one of the participants in the affair was a relative of a member of the Board of Education. If such an affair has occurred in a public school the officers owe it to the citizens to make a thorough investigation and either deny that the affair took place or take the necessary steps if the persistent report is true, rather than stall behind the statement that they have not been advised "officially" of this serious incident in a public school. We usually leap before we look. We don't reason out what to do; we do what we want to do and then build up an explanation to justify our act. We give good reasons for going into business, but the real reason commonly is that we want to see our names on a shingle.

DEAN MILLER HEARS "GUNS" The venerable former Dean Kelly Miller has come out with another one of his recent outbursts against Howard University. Fortunately very few pay serious attention to Dr. Miller now in his attempt to belittle the present administration at Howard. Dr. Miller insists that the school is the "War College" and for some reason he maintains that some sort of battle is raging on the hill. Since Dean Miller waited until he was retired before he chose to disclose all of this so-called turmoil at the university we are inclined to think that his expressions at this time are taken with a grain of salt by many of his admirers. If Dr. Miller knows of a "war" on the hill then he knows more than the rest of us here in Washington. We do know that many of his former admirers are rather sad to have seen him wait and endure the "terrible" conditions at the school until the time of his retirement before he decided to make his statements.

We who live within the shadow of the university fail to hear sounds of this battle that he insists is raging. The students and professors seem to be a happy lot and are entirely ignorant of the conflict. Maybe the good ex-dean is becoming a little peeved about something that the common herd does not know about. A complete expose—rather than mere innuendoes would be the best attitude for the doctor to take so as to clarify matters—if there be anything to clarify. Greed is the worst enemy we have to contend with in the investment of our savings. A HINT TO BASEBALL OWNERS Lovers of boxing have long since realized that it takes a dark menace to revive that ancient sport. The game has been on the toboggan since the days of Harry Wills and George Godfrey who both were heavyweight champions despite the fact that they never wore the crown. Following the decay of the sport for some years, a youth by the name of Joe Louis has come to the front and is bowling over the white hopefuls right and left. With the entrance of Louis the game has immediately taken on new life and promoters are again seeing visions of gates well up in the six figures. Nothing like a brown fighter to put new lfie into the fighting game. The baseball moguls would do well to take notice and instead of howling over poor seasons they should put a few brown-skinned boys on their teams and watch the turnstiles click. After all the sporting public is not concerned about the color of its athletes, but is interested in a movie prowess and skill in car Following the decay of the sport for some years, a youth by the name of Joe Louis has come to the front and is bowling over the white hopefuls right and left.

Strife and Confusion In Negro Colleges ...as the fathers and founders began to fall away, the faith and confidence of the benefited people began to wane; and we look for bickering, commotion, strife and strikes in Negro colleges, almost as the natural order of things. Ever since the withdrawal of the original philanthropists and founders of Negro colleges and universities, there has been all but universal strife and confusion among them. Institutions founded by alien benefaction and supported altruistically by those who have no immediate personal interest in them, ought to command the unstinted gratitude of the beneficiaries. Such indeed was the case as long as the original founders presided over the fortunes of these institutions. Whoever heard of a student strike in Atlanta under Ware, or at Shaw under Tupper, or at Fisk under Cravath, or Lincoln under Reynolds, or Howard under Howard? But as soon as the fathers and founders began to fall away, the faith and confidence of the benefited people began to wane; and we look for bickering, conmunion, strife and strikes in Negro colleges, almost as the natural order of things.

INSTITUTION BRED MEN PROVE BEST If we analyze the situation carefully we shall find that the frequency of outbreaks are apt to occur in those institutions which exercise least care in filling the presidency. Lincoln University has had only three presidents during its history. These were all, as one might say, to the manner born, and represented the full measure of the spirit and genius of the founders. They had all gained academic experience in the traditions of the school over which they were called to preside.

The same thing might be said of Morehouse College, later expanded into Atiana University. There has not been a serious outbreak in its history. Johnson C. Smith University has had only three presidents, all of whom have acquired long educational experience before they were promoted to the headship. The sustained order and discipline of this institution is well known. Tuskegee Institute has had two presidents, both of whom were schooled and disciplined for the part. These schools have, in the main, been well ordered and have commanded the continued loyalty of the student body and the public. Johnson C.

NOT TEACHERS CALLED On the other hand, Fisk University after Cravath, began to experiment with a series of presidents who were not prepared or fitted for the role they were called upon to play. They were ministers of the gospel of good meaning and intention but without academic experience in the college world. On the other hand, Fisk University after Cravath, began to experiment with a series of presidents who were not prepared or fitted for the role they were called upon to play. They were ministers of the gospel of good meaning and intention but without academic experience in the college world. The same is true of Howard University which has become the scandal of the educational world. After Patton, this capstone of Negro Education called to its head a series of preachers who were well meaning but poorly fitted for the pedagogical function which devolved upon them. Repeated failure and frustration has been the result. Since the ascendency of Dr. Hope to the presidency of Atlanta University, peace and good order have prevailed. He was schooled, trained and disciplined in the specific work which he was called upon to command. These instances should be sufficient to establish the general principle that college presidents should be selected with reference to specific qualifications, as a bank, a railroad, or a factory would select its head. COLOR OF MAN DOES NOT COUNT The color of the president, as en- sures shows, has little or nothing to do with the out- come. Lincoln University, under a series of white presidents, has sustained good order and discipline, as Johnson C. Smith has done under Negroes in command. On the other hand, Fisk University under white presidents, has suffered disorder and unrest almost beyond the point of endurance. Howard University stands somewhat, in a class by itself in this regard. It has had two colored administrations, one under John M. Langston, as acting president for two years, and the other under Mordecai W. Johnson. All the other presidents have been white, and yet Howard University has been and still is the "War College" in the public estimation. This is not due to the color scheme but to the fact that the university has never exercised proper thought and care in fill- ing the presidency. I predict—and may live to see the prediction fulfilled—that Howard, Fisk, Atlanta, Lincoln and the rest will arrive at academic calmness and composure where the education and character building process can function without internal and external commotion, which necessarily frustrate their pedagogical aim. This will happen only when the trustees exercise requisite wisdom and discretion in choosing the chiefs in command.

Lucas There's a woman dressed in splendor! On her beauty you are sold Don't be misled by her grandeur— All that glitters is not gold!

Often men are poor and ragged To them folks are stern and cold, People make some awful blunders When they mistake brass for gold! Things are seldom as they seem Learn this truth before you're old And remember—most important— All that glitters is not gold!

I have in mind appeal of section 213 of the economy act. There is little chance of anything being done by Congress. But if the victims of the legislation organize they can take advantage of one point to which Congress gave little attention. They can submit claims for the salaries due them since the date of their dismissal to the Court of Claims, basing such action on the fact that the dismissals constituted a violation of contract and were unconstitutional. The employees dismissed under the marriage clause have a better case, in my opinion, than the holders of Federal bonds. They are entitled to their old jobs and the salaries which would have accrued had they remained. I do not believe that there is a single person dismissed under the marriage clause who would not join an organized move to put their cases in the Court of Claims.

Largely because of the tragic economic difficulties of the depression, the average college girl has a much more serious attitude toward her college work. She rarely has a chance for self-indulgence even if she wished to be, she feels more interested in the problems of the world and especially those in the family. Parents have formerly said that young people are not interested in the problems of the home. But the average college girl feels that she is responsible for trying to solve them. Plays, students' clubs, and meetings that were dead in "boom" days have been aroused with new vigor. Women are much less sentimental than men. They have always been opposed to that "rah rah stuff." Even at men's colleges, the under-graduates are inclined to look down upon it. Most college girls of the moment do not like to be looked upon as feminists. They wish to be looked upon as being responsible for someone or something. Sometimes you hear them say that when they have finished, they are going to support the family and they really do it. They are interested in the opposite sex and wish to become wives and mothers. They are more interested in the line of work that formerly only men engaged in.

She rarely has a chance for self-indulgence even if she wished to be, she feels more interested in the problems of the world and especially those in the family. Parents have formerly said that young people are not interested in the problems of the home. But the average college girl feels that she is responsible for trying to solve them. Plays, students' clubs, and meetings that were dead in "boom" days have been aroused with new vigor. Women are much less sentimental than men. They have always been opposed to that "rah rah stuff." Even at men's colleges, the under-graduates are inclined to look down upon it. Most college girls of the moment do not like to be looked upon as feminists. They wish to be looked upon as being responsible for someone or something. Sometimes you hear them say that when they have finished, they are going to support the family and they really do it. They are interested in the opposite sex and wish to become wives and mothers. They are more interested in the line of work that formerly only men engaged in. Above all things, the college girl does not wish to be dependent upon the opposite sex. CORINNE COLEMA West Virginia College. It is not speed that we need to reach our goal.

Zion Church CHARLES T. BERRY Ethiopia 1400 Year-Old Christian Nation, Has Survived Many Trials Abyssinia, the underdog. Like China, in getting front page notice today, but like all that is weak—that is all the world will give her—space in the press. In a letter to the New York Times of last Sunday, Guebra-Kristes Kema, of Brooklyn, writes the following: "I come from the country which Americans call Abyssinia, a name given to it by the Moslems which means, in English, mixture, mongrel. We call ourselves Ethiopians, and our land Ethiopia. We are Negroes, the oldest Christian nation, now more than 1,400 years old. We have seen the burial of Rome and of Constantinople, and to us the governments of Europe were horn but yesterday. "Now comes to us a new trial. The Italian dictator, Mussolini, is at our door. He rans hard, he shouts loud; and to the nations which stand by in the courtyard—America among them—he declares that he will destroy us. But our fate is in the hand of God. "You are told that there is no order among us, that we are savages. But in Ethiopia the life of a man is as safe in his own keening as in this land, and we kill the thief who forces the door, even as you do. "In spite of your great government and strong police force, you have much disorder, many murders and robberies, but you say there is order among you. Ethiopio, too, maintains order. "In spite of your great government and your great land, your buildings, machines and schools, which you call culture and civilization, you are no more careful of life than the savage, for you killed 36,000 persons by automobile last year. "Millions of people stand idle in your market places, and your granaries and stores are bursting with wealth, while your sons and daughters hunger and are half clothed. Ethiopia Is Civilized. Too "Ethiopia, too, is civilized. Our way is not your way, our order is not your order. It may be that we are cruel, but we are cruel to our The Orchard Town By JOHN M. BATES West Virginia State College You say that you do not believe it? Houses suddenly spring up where only a few nights before a fruit orchard stood. Although this is contrary to all rules of science governing the growing of fruit, it is only a simple matter for a Mechanic Arts Student at West Virginia State College. He is able to explain this strange phenomenon. Years ago, say ten years to be exact, the college was faced with a growing problem of accommodation for students and teachers. Demands were made for an increase in accommodation. Years have passed. In the year of 1934, when the problem reached its peak, a fairy introduced a reconstruction program for the United States. This role was played by none other than President Roosevelt. He introduced this program and began carrying it out. Under his program the government controls the projects through the states. Owing to the fact that much aid had been asked for, the unemployed in the neighborhood of the college were employed. The Board of Control saw a chance to kill two birds with one stone. This stone was project number 4899 having for its double purpose the relief of unemployment and the relief of crowded conditions in the college dormitory life. The commendable facts about the project are that it is one of the first such programs introduced and the first to be introduced in Negro Colleges. Delight should be taken in the fact that a Negro, Mr. J. C. Norman, instructor in the Mechanics Art Department, drew up the plans for the entire project. These were submitted to the Board of Control and accepted. Plans were then placed under the supervision of state inspectors. Applications were made. Colored Labor Used on Project The appropriation of $100 for the ten cottages gives an average of $5,000 for each cottage. The work itself was secured by local contractors, who in turn employed men of color as supervisors of certain phases of the work. There is no danger of wage trouble due to the fact that the FERA governs the wages. The contractor himself took care of the laborers of color. Students' credit was also established thereby enabling students to work off their semester board bills. Student labor wages reached the maximum of thirty cents per hour but skilled labor earned up to sixty-five cents per hour and forty hours per week. There is no doubt that the neighborhood is benefited because only the first class material of local store yards was used. Once the plans for the cottages are completed the actual work begins. More than a hundred men laden with all forms of tools make their way toward the orchard daily, Swearing and straining, the men move ton upon ton of soil. Three feet or thirteen feet below the surface matters not, just so long as a dollar is earned Rain, clouds, or sunshine barely changes the daily routine. Eight hours are spent in all types of exposure simply because the work must go on for completion of the cottages by March. The foundations were laid, the frames were built, the blocks were enemies and you are cruel to your brothers. "Europe and America are heirs to those good things which were left to us by the ancients whom we call Greeks and Romans. We Ethiopians too are heirs with you. "You are told that the Ethiopians are but tribesmen and their government is tribal one of chiefs. This is not so. From the Romans of the fourth and fifth centuries, according to the measure of your time we learned much—they knew how to rule themselves and to rule others. Since those days we have had a king and the powerful chiefs under him were not and are not chiefs of tribes, but governors of the land. This we learned from the Romans. "This rulership of our king and of our territories by our princes has been a strong weapon against all our foes, and our shield against them has been our faith in Christ. "For a thousand years we Christian Negroes have stood on our mountains, in one hand the sword, in the other the Cross, and have defended ourselves and the inheritance of Greeks and Romans, as much of it as is in our keeping, for us and for you. But for our stand, all Africa would now be Mohammedan. "The reward for our long vigil and for our able part is that the Italian comes to our door today and demands our death. Go to the map and see how we are bound around by Great Britain and France and Italy. Little by little they have been taking territory from us, and now one of them thinks that its gullet is wide enough to swallow us whole, as the great fish swallowed the Prophet Jonah, but spat him out on the third day. We shall see. The judgment is with God, whose name be praised." --- The Tribune does not have to draw attention to how quickly Italy raised $850,000,000 with which to threaten Abyssinia, although she could not pay her war debt to America. laid and then the plasterers and finishers began the finishing touches to each cottage. Project Will Soon Be Ready Many feet of gas, water and sewer lines now rest deep in the earth. The rough land is easing its roughness. In other words the cottages are near completion. With their completion what is seen? A small town has been built in the apple orchard. The four and one half months necessary to complete such a project is one of the wonders of today. It is not perplexing to a Mechanic Arts Student because it is an answer to a prayer made by West Virginia State College before. Following the trend of the story of "Cinderella," we see President Roosevelt as the fairy. It was through the introduction of his program that the school and community was benefited. President Roosevelt being unable to be present at the dedication of the cottages, will send Mrs. Roosevelt to act as fairy godmother and represent him. She will dedicate the cottages to the school and the interest of Kanawah Valley. This is to be an incentive for more projects of its kind in other vicinities. White Girls Are Slaves in African Harems In Africa, colored potentates have white girls as slaves in their harems. This fact, just recently discovered has alarmed the white populace in this part of the world, and what is so bad about it from the white man's point-of-view, is the fact that he can do practically nothing about the situation. The African despite his reputation for being as dumb as the proverbial doorkall, it develops, isn't quite so dumb after all. From all available information, the white girls are sold in open market and are bought by the Africans, in so doing the girl signs away her liberty to work in the harems of the Africans as dancing girls, that is, as far as the law is concerned. But really, after they sign on the dotted line they become nothing better than slaves in their master's house. They may be wives, or just plain dancing girls, but in either case their position is just the same—they have been bought in the open market. Once they sign up they are no longer their own masters. But there is a joker in the deal, and the joker in this case is just the thing that the white man can't get around. The white girls, that is, most of them, are of age and as such have a legal right to sign themselves away into service if they so desire. The girls are fed, housed, and clothed so long as their looks last—then beggary, perhaps worse. It is believed that throughout northern Africa there are thousands of these white slaves of all nationalities. The public's reversal of opinion about Hindenburg in recent years from the opinion it held during the World War might teach us not to go to extremes of condemnation of individuals in the future. But it won't. Women talk all over themselves and at the end of a party are utterly fatigued. Around the Play Centers Of the Nation's Capital By Clarence McL. Pendleton The play centers of the District are beginning to liven up with activity since the weather is breaking. Many of the playgrounds are busy with boys playing their first 1935 baseball games which indicates the season is being rushed a little. The community centers are still on their regular programs. The All Sports Tournament is keeping many athletes interested. The tournament opens today (Thursday) at the Dunbar Center. Volley ball will be the major sport. Teams will be registered this week and plans for playing will be issued this week-end. Games will be open to all. The following centers will most likely compete: Dunbar, Burrville, Francis, Birney, Garfield and Garnet-Patterson. Track Stars Groom for Meet The coming indoor track meet at the Dunbar Community Center slated for March 22, has brought many youngsters out for preliminary practice. The regular practice periods are being held each day in the armory. Time trials are held each Friday afternoon at 5 p.m., under the direction of Clarence Pendleton. The events will include relays, shuttle relays, high jump, broad jump and the dashes. Boxing, Wrestling and Fencing at Dunbar The third boxing, wrestling and fencing show staged at the Dunbar Center will be held Friday night with a dual boxing match between the teams representing the Southwest House and the Dunbar Center. The wrestlers will meet the Southwest lads. The fencing team of Howard University will be on hand to give an exhibition. The fencing team is under the direction of Staff Sergeant Darwin E. Smith, of the United States Army. Recreation Institute Closes The annual recreation institute, conducted at the Garnett-Patterson Community Center, has just closed its regular sessions. The institute has been one of the outstanding features of the center. Conducted this year by Clarence Brown since November 13, the regular weekly meetings have been held each Tuesday night by outstanding educators in the field of recreation. The regular programs began with the supervisor conducting "Skits and Stunts." This was followed by a presentation of Miss Ella Gardner, specialist in child welfare, who gave a program of games to be used for recreation. Mrs. Stewart Thompson presented Play Activities for Small Children. "The Crafts," an interesting lecture by Mrs. Lydia Miller, kept many interested persons for a long period. Dancing Lesson Mrs. Audrienne Marshall Ryan gave a very comprehensive talk and demonstration of dancing. Miss Lillian Tanner who is in charge of dramatics at the John F. Cooke School gave much needed information to those interested in the field. Theodore Tiller gave a very enlightening talk and demonstration on Marionettes and Puppets Shows. Mr. Tiller is a specialist in the making and handling of marionettes. The regular play hour conducted by Clarence Brown kept the whole group rather busy until the last game. The Department of Playgrounds gave an interesting group of ring games and folk dancing. Graduates The graduates of the class 1934-35 included the following: Mrs. Jeanette Anderson, Miss A. Eliza Bell, Cordelia Broad, Beatrice Bianchi, John H. Brown, William Brown, Mrs. Mary Dickerson, Alethia Coles, Mudge Carey, Miss Mary C. Diggs, Doris Dudley, Mr. This and That Tact The vicar had a certain truculent woman parishioner noted for her fondness for a drop of gin. One day she went to church hiccoughing with painful distinctness. The parson bore it for a few moments; then looking at the verger, he proclaimed, publicly, "Smith kindly remove that person from the building." Smith rose reluctantly to obey. The congregation held its breath, expecting a scene, but to his relief the woman rose and left without a murmur. After the service the vicar congratulated his man on the妙ful way he had removed the culprit. "How did you manage it?" he asked. "Well, sir," said the verger. "I just went to her and whispered, 'Come on, ma; come out have one with me.'" Pugnacity Bill was pugnacious, but he didn't live long. A few days after his funeral his widow after his hanging pensively over her front gate. A neighbor came along. "Well, poor Bill," she began, he'll be hitten' the harp with the angels." "Not he," said the widow. "More likely he'll be hitten' the angels with the harp." Handy For the Cut-Ups "I hear the surgeons have operated on you again." "Yes."

They're going to put on a swinging door next time." Force of Habit "Yes dear, my husband is a doctor and just the nicest fellow in the world, but so absent-minded!" she explained to a schoolgirl chum. "Just imagine, during the wedding ceremony, when the time came for him to place the ring on my finger, he felt my pulse, and then asked me to put out my tongue." Aristotle once said "A man becomes a good flute player by playing the flute; a man also becomes a bad flute-player by playing the flute." SOUTHEAST HOUSE NEWS The Pioneer Club members, under Advisor E. Tyler keep in the spotlight. Tuesday evening they had Miss Margaret E. Jones present the motion picture, "A Trip Through Yellowstone Park and Canada." The Pioneers invited a number of their friends, who were overjoyed at being permitted to view this picture. Saturday morning Mrs. Charles I. West and Mrs. G. S. Bond held a rummage sale under the auspices of the Mothers' Club.

PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men Did you see what mean Mr. Managing Editor did last week? Marked the Prattler absent just because she showed up twenty hours late. But now that it's done she can't really say she's sorry. For a lot of kind ones like you called in to see if she was sick or sad or maybe dead. And you'd be surprised at the way little deeds like that warm the old Prattler's heart. That's the way things go. This column told you back in September or thereabouts when it first heard that Harriet Mitchell, the little Washington charmer, had gone to Tuskegee Institute, that the boys would have a terrible time trying to keep their eyes on their books. Now look at 'em. They've gone and made her "Campus Queen" or something. Hope you saw the cute queen's "cut" on the pages of a recent weekly. How far we wee from Grandma's day. And how sweet we've grown in the meantime. Way back when the "Circuit Rider" (the long-ago minister) rode through Winter's snow and Summer's sun to answer the calls of his flock, his dutiful spouse oftimes remained at home and kept the hearth fires burning. And oh, (so sad to say) if she played a game of checkers or even solitaire, the Quilting "Bees," the Husking "Bees" and all the Sewing "Circles" would busily buzz it for many and many a day. But things aren't the same. The other day the pretty wife of a preacher went home from a bridge party with prize No. 1. And instead of "fussing" about it, all the guests agreed that she was the loveliest person present, as well as the smartest. Saw the Fabian Labats at the Odd Card dance the other Friday. Found out that there's a sister of the popular Fabian in town. Well, when you remember the lovely Sylvia Labat and her goodlooking brother, Victor (they are both teaching in the Mardigras city these days) you feel like loudly exclaiming "Bring on a lot of Labats." Mr. and Mrs. James Waters at a smart affair a week or so ago. They came in very late and Mr. Waters, formerly connected with Howard University Law School and familiarly known as the "Chair," could not find a chair and so had to stand on first one foot then the other. The broad smile on the face of Dr. Albert Hughes of Fourth Street, Northwest, is due to the fact that the once-ever-so-ill wife of the popular doctor is now definitely on the mend. Miss Gertrude Martin (artist at a recent recital at Howard University) has a delightful sense of humor. At the conclusion of her program when admirers were almost smothering her with congratulations, one woman grew bold and asked her: "Please, tell me all about yourself. What is your favorite book, or bird or flower? Do you cat eggs scrambled or sunny side served up? Where were you born and when is your birthday?" What do you—" Miss Martin then interrupted and smiling all the while, answered "I sleep in pajamas." Nor did she reply to a single question but turned aside to autograph somebody's program. You might have known that Mrs. Butcher of Eleventh Street, Northwest would be the first to rush "back stage" to greet the Negro Repertory Players at the Lincoln Temple the other night. The director, Mr. James Butcher, is that lady's son. Now that the price of meat is rising, they're telling us to eat fish. "It's a brain food," they say. Maybe so, but I know a lot of Dumb Doras who were practically "brung up" on "kittyfish" and mullets. (I'm one of 'cm.) --- Now wasn't that a pretty thing for the Boston Club to do. They met at the attractive home of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Whaley the other night and their invitations included all the Massachusetts' Howardites the busy club could find. They dined on hot dogs, beans and brown bread. And if there's an eight-word sentence meaning music to a Massachusetts' man, it's "We will dine on beans and brown bread." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING MARCH. 9. 1935 At the "Whats" dance a Thursday or so ago they were just a pair of borrowed black lace mittens on a lovely lady's hands. But way down in Waco many years ago they marked the sweet beginning of a Texas girl's romance. Mr. J. A. Lankford has now quite recovered from his recent illness. It's strawberry time and Charlotte (that's the Mrs.) makes the most luscious shorte youd ever want to taste. The architect probably tried to get away with a whole one. And just see what he got for not leaving his good wife any. Even the flowers have found it out. (I mean how lovely Mrs. Self is.) For twelve years the little Fifteenth Street lady has owned and cherished what she calls a "Corn Plant." And never during that time has she known her plant to bloom except in the warm bright days of June. But all of a sudden last Christmastide, the grateful plant (probably realizing how lucky it was to be in the possession of the diminutive Mrs. Self) burst right out into bloom. And now look at that wise corn plant. It knows that Eastertide is just around the corner and that Mrs. Self will want a bouquet to pin on her brand new suit. So just the other day that proud corn plant awoke from its evening slumber adorned with fragrant flowers. There are streamlined trains, streamlined bath tubs, and the other night at the "Ladp of Make Believe" we became acquainted with (and fell right straight in love with) a streamlined Mother Goose, whose children were so grown-up and worldly-wise that—well, just see what "Little Red Riding Hood" did. Instead of taking cakes to "Granny" she took Mr. So and So away from his Mrs, before her very eyes. Now see what those Post Office people do in their "Off Hour." Messrs. Andrew Samuels, Everett Wauls, Edward Smalls, William Freeman, Martin Beleno, Leonard Ellis, Walter Clark, C. A. Robinson, John Rand, Guy West and Frank Mackay invited their many friends to the Colonnade to dance the "Off Hour" away. "Bluebirds" chirped some pretty ditties. And you should have seen those postmen. You never would have known by the way they were dancing about, that those same tired feet had been busy that day tramping to your house and mine bringing a post card from "Aunt Emmaline" or the grocer's overdue bill. I bet Dr. Dett will arrive early when he comes to Washington to direct the Spring premiere of the "Choral Club." Indeed, he'll probably get here at breakfast time, for on last Sunday morning at Garnet-Patterson School, Dr. Dett found out just what a Sunday morning breakfast in Washington is like. --- Chicago may be the Mecca of millions (it was during the Century of Progress Expedition anyway); Los Angeles may be the "Movie" center and the city of many flowers; Baltimore may be the land of hospitality and all that, but to Mrs. Oscar DePriest, of Chicago, Miss Laura Crisman of Los Angeles, Miss Lillian Robinson, Mrs. Eulalia Stevenson of Baltimore, Washington was the greatest place in the U.S.A. to be in on February 22. And the reason was that the above named ladies were the guests of honor at a pretty party given by Mrs. Janette Baltimore, popular widow of 1435 S Street, Northwest. Among Mrs. Baltimore's other guests were Mrs. Louise Archer, Mrs. Lula Leachman, Mrs. Theodore Gordan, Mrs. Samuel Milton, Miss Muriel Milton, Mrs. Alta Sumby, Mrs. J. A. Lankford, Mrs. Lucella Cox, Mrs. Alpha Jones, Mrs. F. D. Lee, Mrs. Marion Crusor, Mrs. Marion Butler, Mrs. Leola Bannister, Mrs. Florence Clark, Mrs. Sylvia Patterson, Miss Susie Jennings, Miss Ella Beacon, And for a scorekeeper Mrs. Baltimore got a smart little school teacher (who's way up in mathematics), Mrs. Josephine Patterson of 1728 Corcoran Street. I did it. Crashed right on into the Interdenominational Council of Ministers' Wives of Washington and Vicinity. And I won't soon forget the day. A noble group of women with high aims "To enlist and stimulate the interest of its members in all religious, intellectual and social matters of common interest, etc." Mrs. Mayme Henderson, 2605 Eleventh Street, the charming hostess, entertained her guests in her pretty panel-walled parlor while the afternoon sun shed shoft rays on the rich furnishings. Mrs. Hallie B. Taylor, the sweet-faced President in a dark dress. Mrs. Bullock in gray with white roses at her throat (she had a cold but Mrs. Henderson, the hostess, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, or somebody had anticipated just such an emergency, for hardly had Mrs. Bullock squeezed once when someone brought her some cough drums. There was Mrs. E. D. W. G. G. G. Introductory Party Gay Affair The G. G. G. Club gave its initial party, last Friday, at 1514 U Street, Northwest.

Wiseman, Evangeline Perry, Mrs. Perry, her sister-in-law; Mr. and Mrs. O. N. Phelps, Mr. and Mrs. C. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Sutton, Mrs. H.

Matthews, wife of Bishop Matthews, and one of Iowa Circle's most charming hostesses. Gracious Mrs. Gladys Farley in a green dress with touches of white. The Providence Rhode Island lady, Mrs. T. F. Threkkeld was there too. Good looking Mrs. Benjamin Brawley was ill and couldn't be present. But Mrs. E. V. C. Williams was there, Mrs. R. W. Brooks, Mrs. J. W. Bondurant, and her pretty curly-banded daughter; Mrs. J. M. Ellison, Mrs. J. S. L. Hollowman and pretty-banged Mrs. Campbell, of Fairmont Heights and Mrs. I. S. Lee and others. Among the visiting ladies was Miss Lenora Randolph, principal of one of the city schools, who said she couldn't make a speech and then went right ahead and made a very good one. She was all clated anyhow over the trip she was to take the very next day to a Teachers' Convention in Atlantic City. Also visiting were Mrs. Samuel Pierre, Mrs. Lula Miner, Miss Lillie Burke, Miss Bullock, Herrietriack, Jackson, Mrs. A. Green, of Alabama Avenue and others. The only meaning the lovely hostess and her sister, Mrs. Carpenter did was to let the delicious aroma of frying oysters, baking ham, browning biscuits and just-right steaming coffee find its way to our nostrils. I was hungry too. And 'twas all that I could possibly do to keep from forgetting my etiquette and scrambling back to the kitchen. We were finally seated at the table with its pretty black and crystal service. Had to leave early and 'twas lucky I did (for the hostess I mean), for had a remained a minute longer the good lady's supply of hot biscuits might have reached a new "low." --- Speaking of hot biscuits, at lovely Eleanor Foster's Bridge party the other afternoon one of the guests (being on a diet) helped the hostess with her pretty buffet service. Since she couldn't eat the daintiest herself she was determined to make the rest of us suffer. So she tried to limit the guests to four hot rolls apiece. But in spite of the dieting lady's efforts, Mrs. Mande Reed, Mrs. Geneva Woodward, Mrs. Maud Ethel Moman and Mrs. Edith Garnes each got away with a full half dozen. Then when dessert time came around poor Mrs. Reed hardly had any room. Among Washington Clubs Among Washington Clubs BROWNETTS The club held its weekly meeting at 768-a Gresham Place, Northwest.

LONG BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SECOND SECTION SOUTHWEST STILL IN RACE FOR NEW FIRE EQUIPMENT $23,500 Appropriation Hits Snags and is Held up The Southwest Civic Association is still in the fight for new and modern fire apparatus for the Southwest section, Dr. George L. Johnson chairman of the Public Service Committee of the civic body advised in a statement this week. The statement is as follows: "The Southwest Civic Association was the only friend among citizens that the Fire Department had before both houses of Congress last winter, and greatly through our efforts $23,500 was appropriated for the purchase of two hose wagons and one pumping engine for the department. Appropriition Struck Snags "This appropriation, however, has struck several snaps. Bids for the equipment, we understand, were opened again in October but were unsatisfactory. "They were reopened in January, it is reported, but certain complications with the NRA have arisen which will further complicate and delay delivery of the apparatus. It may be six months yet before this new apparatus arrives. "Congress appropriated this $23,500 to the Fire Department for new equipment. Congress did not specify to what fire companies it should be given. It is the prerogative of the chief engineer of the Fire Department to dispose of this apparatus as he sees fit. It will be his prerogative to place it all in the Northwest, Northeast and Southeast sections and maintain the seeming tradition of shifting the ancient second-hand equipment to No. 4 and 13 in Southwest, if he sees fit. "However, we hope that public officials will not forsake a friend. No. 4 is Old Enough to be Grand-daddy to Younger Companies. "Old No. 4 Engine Company is old enough to be the granddaddy of one-third of the fire companies in the department. It was protecting the Capitol, the White House and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for 20 years before the younger companies put on their swaddling clothes. "During the past 16 years, No. 4 has never had a new pumping engine, but has been the recipient of three second-hand engines. "For the past 14 years, No. 4 engine company and her running mate No. 13 engine company, have been co-sufferers with the departments acknowledged and admitted, 'two slowest' "22-mile-an-hour hose wagons—'Spark Plug' and 'Fannie,'" 121,109 AFRICANS JOIN CATHOLIC CHURCH NEW YORK (ANP) — According to a report made by Manager William Quinn, national director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, in one part of Central Africa, comprising the Belgian Congo, Ruandi and Urandi, 121,109 adults were received into the Roman Catholic church last year.

"IMITATION" STAR APPEARS TO BE JUST PLAIN LU Reporter Finds Louise Beavers Getting Fun Out of National Acclaim By SAM LACY Here's the way Louise Beavers impressed a Tribune reporter who was watching every move made by the star in the hope of gaining an insight of her character. These observations were made during the course of celebrating her recent arrival in Washington for a week of personal appearances at the Lincoln Theatre. Acclaimed the country over as an actress of the first water and mentioned by some as a candidate for the award to the year's best actress, Miss Beavers smiled and spoke out to each of the red-capped reporters as she made her way up the long boardwalk from the train. "Or walk with kings nor lose the common touch." Right in the middle of all the hullabaloo that was being raised in her honor and which had even gone to the extent of getting such local dignitaries as Mrs. Virginia McGuire, Mrs. Beatrice Francis and Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, etc. out of bed at 7 a.m. Miss Beavers turned to her maid and winked... "Gee, won't we have some fun talking about this when we get to our room." Asked if Miss Irene Hill who accompanied her was her maid, the popular star replied that Miss Hill is her "traveling companion"... tongue in her cheek. Leaving the cafe after the breakfast that had been served in her honor, Miss Beavers was accosted on the sidewalk by a woman who just HAD to see her because "so many of my friends have told me I look just EXACTLY like you." And there followed a one-way conversation that would stretch from where you are sitting to the Union Station and back and was about as effective as an argument in behalf of my resemblance to Clark Gable. . . and Louise Beavers stood it all SMILING. Beavers Showing on Philadelphia Stage NEW YORK—When Louise Beavers, co-star with Claudette Colbert in the picture "Imitation of Life," closed her week at the Apollo Theatre, here last Friday night, she departed for Philadelphia, Pa. where she is slated for a week of personal appearances. It was Miss Beavers's fifth week of the current tour. Her first two weeks on the personal appearance run were spent at the Paramount Theatre, Los Angeles. She went from there to the Roxy Theatre, New York. Her fourth week was at the Lincoln Theatre, Washington.

DRIVE Garnet Wilkinson and Shaw Alumna Address Church Garnet C. Wilkinson, First Assistant Superintendent of Schools, and Mrs. Rebecca S. Bullock, a Shaw University alumna, were principal speakers at services held in connection with Shaw University Day at the Third Baptist Church Sunday. The church closed its drive to raise $70 toward the $70,000 drive now underway by the North Carolina institute. Charging that Northern financial aid was withdrawn from Shaw when Dr. William Stuart Nelson, the first Negro to assume the presidency of the school in its 66 years of existence, took command, Mr. Wilkinson told the young church people. "It is up to you to support him. It is up to you to fling the to those who say Negroes today cannot run and support their own Christian Educational colleges." He spoke at the Sunday School service and the morning church service. Urges to Continue Mrs. Bullock spoke at the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor meeting. She urged the young people to continue in their efforts to support a deserving Christian institution. Mrs. Bessie K. Taylor led the latter services. Others who appeared on the program were E. W. Freeman, Jerry G. Pinchum, Miss L. Floyd, Mrs. Viola Gaither, Mrs. Dorothy Robinson Hood, James E. Brown, Mrs. Lizzie Nesbit, Miss Dorothy Latham, Mrs. Mary Fields, Miss Bernice V. Jackson, B. E. Williams, the Celestial Joy Four, and the Rev. G. O. Bullock, pastor, who spoke on "The Insight of Jesus." The race divided against itself cannot stand any more than a house divided against itself.

The following statements from a letter sent to Mrs. Woodward February 11, from the director of women's work at Petersburg, Va., is typical: "I am glad you are so interested in the Colored Service Center. I wish you could have been there Monday night. While I was in a small room meeting the advisory board, a chorus of a hundred or so voices were practicing. They are being trained by a Professor Jackson and his wife from the Virginia State College who give their services. "Dr. John M. Gandy, president of the Virginia State College came to this meeting. He is going to try and work a schedule for his advanced pupils to do volunteer work at the center as part of their training. I have an appointment to meet the head of their home economics department at which time we will work out further details of the program." "A hundred and fifty to two hundred children of high school age go to the center on Friday nights to dance. The committee already had a piano. The people on the committee are intelligent and want to make a real success of the undertaking. Dr. John Darden wants to start a clinic with the nurse we have approved in the social service center to work under the health center.

The committee met on Monday and Miss Corbin was represented by Attorney George E. C. Hayes.

"Miss Corbin was subjected, through no fault of her own to a disappointment in being told after a year that she was not eligible. Your committee finds it necessary to express its growing concern over the mistakes that occur in the office of the chief examiner of Divisions 10-13. We have had brought to our attention three cases within a few weeks wherein serious mistakes in making up lists of eligible candidates have occurred. We are also concerned with the fact that mistakes go so long unnoticed, one having been uncorrected from July 1933 to August 1934 and another for a period of over eight months."

Do I tap my feet with the music of the picture? Do I fail to realize that people around me lose the point of a joke if I laugh before the actor finishes his lines? Do I tell the plot of the story to the annoyance of those around me? If you can place the letter 'K' in the box before a question, each 'N' will be equivalent to 20 points. He high can you score. Beginning this week we will re sume the game under the name "Average." The five weekly questions will deal with various subjects. This week's questions are: Do I hog scats on street cars? Do I spit out of street car windows, thus causing my spit to blow into the face of the person behind me? Do I try to pass from my seat without saying to the person sitting next to the aisle "Pardon me," so that he or she will permit me to pass without inconvenience to either of us? Do I stand still when I could comply with the conductor's request to "move up into the aisle, please?" Next week C. Leslie Frazier, who conducts this feature will ask five more questions What is your average? Try this new solitaire game and know thyself.
