No.2 Killer-Cop Ab Marlboro Ju Slaying of Co Twelve Farmers Ignore Strong Case Against Fellow Townsman Defendant Unmoved Tho State Flays Him as "Reckless Killer" By SAMUEL H. LACY MARLBORO, Md—Here in the same courtroom where seven years ago he was convicted of an assault on a white man. Charles W. Flory, white E. Adensburg town policeman, Monday, was exonerated for shooting to death a Negro, Kater Stevens, 31, 942 P Street, Northwest, last July. Tried before a jury of eleven white men and one colored. Flory sat throughout the trial and received the verdict with calm indifference. He seemed to feel sure of himself. He appeared to know he would be "taken care of." State's Attorney Alan Bowie, who took up the case despite an ex-operation by the coroner's jury which inquired into the death shortly after Stevens was fatally shot in the dark of a Bladensburg alley, handled the prosecution His job was well done. Counsel for the family of the deceased as well as defense attorneys were satisfied that the government's case had been capably presented. Doing the Impossible But that was only part of the work. The other part was convincing a group of hardened farmers who just wouldn't listen to reason. It was well nigh impossible to do this. Mr. Bowie believed he had done it. Everyone appeared to believe he had done it—except Flory. The middle-aged town officer sat expressionless as the twelve men filled into the courtroom after two hourse and 16 minutes of deliberation. He obviously sensed ac (Continued on page 3) 2 FATALLY INJURED IN MISHAPS Coroner's Jury Frees White Street Car Motorman Two men were killed and nearly a score or more persons injured in automobile accidents in and around Washington over the weekend. One of the dead is Joshua Newkirk, 47. 5319 Dix Street, Northeast, who was fatally hurt when hit by a Capital Transit street car at Deane Avenue and Fifty-sixth Street. Northeast, last Sunday night. Newkirk's mangled body was picked up and rushed to Casualty Hospital, where he died enroute from a fractured skull and crushed chest. David Doggett, 59-year-old white motorman, was cleared of blame in connection with the death by a coroner's jury at the District Morgue, Tuesday. Doggett testified that he did not see the deceased pedestrian. Testimony revealed that Newkirk apparently was trapped between two cars, one westbound and the other eastbound, the latter being the one that struck him. It was also shown that lighting was bad at that point of the tracks. Doggett lives at 1222 I Street, Northeast. Identified Wrongly Newkirk was at first identified as Frahk Stroman, of the 500 block of Fifty-seventh Street, Northeast. Shirley Miley passed the scene of the accident and, believing the injured man to be Stroman, ran to tell his brother, Harry Stroman, who identified the mangled body at the hospital as that of his brother.

LTA CO WASH Absolved by bury in July colored Man MAJOR DEMONET DENIES CMTC PLAN ABANDONED Washington Tribune Hopes Sufficient Interest Will Enable Opening of Camp Next Year Major Charles Demonet denied Wednesday that plans for a Citizen Military Training Camp for colored school boys in this area had been abandoned. The view that the camp project had been discarded was voiced by Charles H. Houston, member of the Board of Education, when he read a letter to the board from Col. F. A. Landers, C. M. T. C. officer of the Third Corp Area, Baltimore. In his letter to Major Demonet Col. Landers stated that "it is not practicable to arrange for a camp of colored C. M. T. C. trainees." Mr. Houston stated to the board members that "this is not the end. This just opens the case. I shall fight for participation of Negro citizens in all phases of army life." No Racial Issue In a statement to The Tribune Major Demonet said the failure to begin a camp for colored boys at this time was not due to any racial problem, but was one purely of practicality at this time. He said it takes months to arrange a setup for a camp and at least 600 or 1,000 boys should be in position to move in when a camp is established. The idea to start a camp for colored boys has not been abandoned, said Major Demonet. He expressed the view that colored boys were more in need of this particular training than white boys. He also said that such a camp would take hundreds of boys off the streets during the summer and give them a training that would be of immeasurable benefit. Is Hugh Project To establish such a project involves equipment, clothing and other incidentals which would take several months. Major Demonet said he hoped that registration by next year would show that sufficient boys are interested to start a camp for colored boys. The Tribune learned that boys in the there colored high schools have been asked to register with the officers in charge of military instruction. The number registered could not be ascertained. Mr. Houston has been interested in military training of Negroes in the army and other armed forces of the country for some time. He has been particularly waging a battle to get colored men equal rights in these departments of the government. The white quota for the District is 206. A camp for white high school boys will be conducted this year. Commerce Club Honors President Spaulding C. C.

No Racial Issue Is Hugh Project OEDS shing ONLY NEGRO NEWSPAPER INGTON, D.C., WEEK END ONLY NEGRO NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL FIVE DELTA GIRLS AT "H" SUSPENDED Action Taken After Three Pledgees Are Injured at Initiation Accused of brutally treating three members of the pledge club at an initiatory session late last week, five members of the undergraduate chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority at Howard University were suspended from the sorority, early this week. According to information given the Tribune from reliable sources, eight members of the sorority pledge club went on probation last Thursday. At one of the probation week sessions held in the Delta Room in Miner Hall, the lights were turned out during a "heating period." The lights were allegedly extinguished to prevent the girls from telling which of the sorors were administering the punishment. Three Pledgees Hurt During the scuffling, three of the eight pledgees were injured, seriously enough to prevent one from attending classes. The injured pledgees were Vivian Weaver, who received first aid treatment for a hurt arm; Francis Gibson, who was forced to the confinement in the university infirmary for spinal injuries, and Marlene Pelham, who later is said to have walked off probation. From authoritative sources, the Tribune learned, late Wednesday, that five girls were accused of being responsible for the unprecedented treatment of probationary members and suspended indefinitely. They were Harriet (China) Barksdale, Maxine Reynolds, Adelaide Charles, Susan Cooke and Clark Bailey. The suspension is from the sorority and not the university. Prior to the beating, sorors are accused of having embarrassed the pledgees by making them fish out of tiny bowls in front of the Lincoln Theatre. Mrs. Marion W. Jackson Dies in Philipsburg, Pa. Funeral services and interment for Mrs. Marion Waites Jackson formerly of Washington, D.C. were held last Friday in Philipsburg, Pa., where she died following a short illness two days previous.

NAACP HEAD REPUDIATES SECRETARY Mrs. McGuire Says Agreement Was to Invite Only Association Members Mrs. Virginia G. McGuire, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, denied in a statement to The Tribune that she objected to the presence of Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, being on the same platform with Mrs. Roosevelt at a recent mass meeting of the association at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church. Mrs. McGuire sent her resignation to the executive committee of the association two weeks ago. At that time it was stated that the cause of her resignation was partly due to the fact that the secretary of the branch. A. S. Pinkett, wanted to invite Dr. Johnson and Dr. Eugene Clark, president of Miner Teachers' College, to the meeting and give them seats on the rostrum. In her statement Mrs. MeGuire said that it was agreed before the meeting by herself. Mr. Pinkett and John C. Bruce, a member of the executive committee, that the invitations should be limited to local and national officers of the association. She said she was surprised when she received a list with the names of Dr. Johnson and Dr. Clark on it. She then said she immediately got in touch with Mr. Pinkett and told him of the previous agreement and she objected "Tiny" Mason Dies After Serious Operation Joseph "Tiny" Mason, star quarterback of the Northeast Athletics and brother of Leonard Mason, catcher of the Anacostia A.C., died following a serious operation last Wednesday.

Scott as judge of the Municipal Court late Wednesday afternoon. The body acted without a dissenting vote. Mr. Scott will leave Monday for his home in Wilmington, N.C. where he will rest for two weeks. He will return on May 27 and be sworn in. This is the first time the Senate has confirmed a nomination unanimously. The Senate Judiciary Committee ordered a favorable report Monday on the nomination of Armond W. Scott, member of the local bar, to be judge of the District Municipal Court. This action was taken on the recommendation of the subcommittee following public hearings last Friday. It was at this first meeting that opposition was expected to come. Virtually all of the testimony at the hearing was in support of Mr. Scott who was selected three weeks ago by President Roosevelt to succeed Judge James A. Cobb whose term has expired. Opposition Fails Senator William H. King. Democrat, of Utah, was chairman of the subcommittee and when he asked for those in opposition to the nominee to testify, none responded. (Continued on page 2) DANCY MURDER IS STILL UNSOLVED DANCY MURDER IS STILL UNSOLVED Although homicide squad detectives declare they have made several arrests in their investigation of the murder of Mrs. Florence Dancy, aged widow of a former recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, it was admitted that they were no nearer a solution than when first they were called on the case, the Tribune learned late yesterday (Wednesday). Each of the persons arrested and questioned were freed. Lieutenant George E. Darnell, chief of the squad, told the Tribune two weeks ago that he had assigned Sergeant Walter S. Beck to the case and that both he and the detective were expecting, to close the case with little delay. The fourth week is now closed, however, and the killing of the woman is still a mystery and her murderer is still at large. Mrs. Dancy was found slain in her home at 2129 L Street, Northwest, by police and friends of hers who searched the house for her after she had been missed for several days.

Jury Frees Paramour In Fatal Stabbing of Escaped N. C. Convict MRS. PARKS IS GRANTED $60 ALIMONY Dr. Beckley Scoffs at Story Accusing His Wife of Misconduct The Tribune last week inadvertently used the name of Miss Certrude Black, a school teacher in connection with the alleged fight with Mrs. Parks when it was testified that Mrs. Parks pulled a woman from Parks' car. Miss Black was in no way connected with the incident in the street. Her only mention with the case was in connection with a purely business transaction in which she purchased a piece of property from the Parks' firm. The Tribune regrets the error and hastens to clear Miss Black of any misconduct. Mrs. Ethel Parks, wife of Thomas W. Parks, well known real estate dealer and lawyer, was granted a limited divorce and $60 monthly alimony by Justice Letts last Thursday. The trial lasted two days and created several sensations when Mrs. Parks accused her husband of misconduct with several women. At one time she claimed that The Department of FERA Adult Education of Divisions 10-13 will hold an exhibition on Thursday and Friday evenings, May 16 and 17, beginning at eight-o-clock, at the Randall Junge, High School, First and I Streets, Southwest, Miss Charlotte Corbin, supervisor of FERA adult classes, announced this week. The program will include exhibits of work done by members of the classes in sewing, domestic service, printing, typewriting, shorthand, bookkeeping, electricity, music, English, arithmetic, general adult education and vocational rehabilitation of the physically handicapped. Sarah Jones Acted in Defense of Own Life Jury at District Morgue Finds COOPER, THE VICTIM, HAD BAD REPUTATION Altercation was Outgrowth of Argument Over a Refused Loan Sarah Jones Acted in De-14... One of the strangest tales of an illicit romance and the subsequent killing of the man involved at the hands of the woman who only four days before had given money to provide honds for the release of her lover from the District Jail was unfolded before a coroner's jury at the District, Morgue, Tuesday. The jury freed Sarah Jones, 34, in connection with the death of Becton Cooper, 35, her alleged common-law husband, both of 1423 Eighth Street. Northwest, on the grounds that she acted in defense of her life in fatally stabbing Cooper during an altercation at Eighth and P Streets. Northwest, early Sunday morning. Becton, an escaped convict from the North Carolina chain gang, where he was serving a term on a robbery charge, died at Freedmen's Hospital late Sunday evening from stab wounds of the neck which injured the large blood vessel. A short time before his death, according to Sergeant John W. Wise, white, homicide squad, he nodded his head in an affirmative that Sarah Jones his paramour was the one who slashed his throat. Stabbed in Self-Defense The woman was arrested at her Eighth Street home shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday morning when the couple engaged in a row at Eighth and P Streets. She denied having stabbed Cooper at first, but later confessed to police at headquarters that she cut him in self-defense. On the stand at the morgue she told a pitiful story of her five-year friendship with Cooper—a period during which, she testified, he had repeatedly beat her, cut her and on several occasions sent her to the hospital for long stays. She also accused him of stabbing two pals. Will Harris and Roy Stewart, and declared she was "afraid of him." Argument During Day She told the jury that she had given Cooper $50, just before he was sent to jail a week ago, posted $50 to arrange for his bond, ORGAN RECITAL SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH 9th & P STREETS, N.W.

EDGAR PARK, D.D. PRESIDENT WHEATEN COLLEGE. NORTON MASS. THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TEN LAYMAN UPBRAIDS PASTORS FOR LACK OF FAITH IN WORK Charles M. Thomas Tells Baptist Clergymen Revival is Needed Reviewing the similarity between ancient Rome and the present times in America, Professor Charles M. Thomas, of Armstrong High School, told the Baptist Ministers' Institute, meeting at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Monday, that "the church today is suffering from the hardening of the arteries and fatty degeneration of the heart." More Christianity and less theology, the speaker demanded, and explained the effect of Christianity upon the baser instincts of man. "Christianity is not Judaism, not science, nor psychology, but an inner reference to an ideal that considers the god of the other man." he said. Professor Thomas held that social security, legislation, education, hospitals insurance, the Red Cross and the like had sprung from Christianity while the church is asleep. He declared "unless the church realizes its responsibility. Christianity will appear again in another form and leave you preachers behind." "What the church needs is not revivals but a revival," Professor Thomas contended. Continuing he charged, "the church needs a rebirth, not mentally but spiritually. You want electric lights, new organs and beautiful pupils not because our souls demand them, but because you saw them in somebody else's church." Pastors Lack Faith Claiming that the ministers were making a profession of the ministry instead of making a faith of Christianity. Professor Thomas said: "step by step the miracles of the Bible are being performed before you but are passing over you because you don't have faith." Concluding the educator urged the ministers to stay within the covers of the Bible for God is the Alpha and the Omega. The Rev. James H. Marshall presented Professor Thomas, The Rev. W. H. Jernagin, presided and the Rev. J. P. Nichols extended an invitation, which was appreciated in tumultuous applause, and a suggestion to license the speaker because of his knowledge of the Bible and church history. Revivals Outboded Preceding the educator's speech the Rev. William A. Taylor, pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist Church told the ministers that "we must revive our evangelistic methods change our financial systems" to meet the swirling tides of humanity. Declaring the 'old time seasonal revival' are rapidly losing their effect in results," the Rev. Mr. Taylor cried "if we don't get members only through revival there won't be many in the pews." He urged reconstruction of the financial missionary, social service and religious programs of the church. Four-Day Institute The two speeches were the features of the opening day services of the Religious Institute sponsored by the Baptist Convention of the District and Vicinity. This session was held at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church as the regular meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington. The Rev. Robert Anderson, conference president, presided.

TRIBUNE AD MAN ADDRESSES TECH JOURNALISM CLASS William G. Black, Advertising Manager, Speaks at Armstrong By James L. Mack Student of Journalism, Armstrong High School William G. Black. advertising manager of The Washington Tri- bune, gave a practical talk on advertising as a profession, to Arm- strong journalism students, last week. The object was to afford the students advertising ideas and to inspire them to become inter- ested in the vocational opportunities which this field offers. Mr. Black, having been in newspaper work for eight years, spoke out of his own experiences. He said in part, "There are great opportunities ahead for the Negro entering the advertising field, as one of the weaknesses of Negro papers has been that so few trained men are ready to enter their advertising department." The speaker, therefore, urged the students to consider seriously this phase of journalism, especially since it is open to men and women alike. "To become an advertising salesman," he advised, "it is necessary to have all the qualities of a news reporter, such as: a pleasing personality, a neat appearance and the knowledge of how to approach prospects." Covers Local Field The fact that Negro newspapers have not secured a large share of national advertising is ascribed by Mr. Black to the scattered territory which circulation covers. The Tribune, unlike most of the papers in a similar class, has adopted the thrifty policy of building up trade among local merchants by confining its circulation to Washington and vicinity, and featuring local news. In addition, "in order to have only the better products advertised, a newspaper must keep to certain high standards," the speaker cautioned. "It must have a high grade of subscribers, whose incomes are sufficient to make advertising worth while." After his talk, the visitor kindly consented to answer the students questions about his work. When asked how he first became interest- C. H.—Will the woman I am planning to marry ever do like I want her to do? Ans: The woman you are planning to marry still likes to have a good time and I am afraid she will never quit dancing entirely. I don't believe it would be a good idea for you to marry her until she settles down more. She still likes to go to dances and parties, and in order to have a successful marriage, you had better reform her before you marry. I. S.—Why is it that I am not successful in the work I do? Ans: The main reason you can't have any success with sewing is because you are not talented for it. Why don't you take up some kind of commercial work? You'd enjoy it a lot more, and surely you could make a much larger income than you have now. H. M.—Will I get to carry out my plans for the summer? Ans.: During the summer months it appears that you will not get to carry out your plans for it seems that your family will be unable to finance you through summer school. Instead of securing this education it appears that you will go to work as a maid in a hotel. N. F. T.—I am surely undecided what to do now and I would like for you to advise? Ans.: Your friend T. was nice enough to give you a job with him when you were out of work. and you should show your appreciation by staying on with him. Even though your old job has been offered to you again, you shouldn't walk out on your friend. You have a lot better future ahead of you where you are now, than at your old job, and you know this work is permanent. V. C.—My husband is accusing me of going with other men, and I would like to know what makes him do it? Ans: There is no need for you to be afraid of your husband because he wakes you up fighting. He appears to be so afraid that you will go out with other men that he dreams about it at night, and that's why he accuses you of slipping out of bed and going out at night. Make him eat a lighter ed in advertising, Mr. Black stated that while a student at Dunbar High School he had solicited ads for the year book. Later, while studying journalism in college, he continued selling advertising and found it a paying profession. Stresses Opportunity To another question as to what kind of accounts he preferred handling, the speaker said that he preferred anything to handling advertisements of women's articles, and that his dislike was probably due to his unfamiliarity, with many of these articles. This served to illustrate his point that it is very difficult to handle or discuss anything with which there is not the greatest amount of interest and knowledge on the part of the salesman. The public is never impressed, unless the salesman himself is impressed. In ending this very instructive hour with the Armstrong classes, the Tribune representative prophesied that as Negro businesses continue to grow, there will perhaps be an opportunity for young colored men and women to become connected with some of the larger chains and advertising syndicates throughout the United States. Practice School Named in Honor of Miss Lucy Moten The elementary practice school at the Florida Agricultural and Mechanica' College, Tallahassee, Florida, has been named in honor of Miss Lucy E. Moten who did such an unusual piece of work in building up Minner Normal School, Washington. The practice school is regarded as one of the best training schools for teachers in the south. P-T.

AR DU ACE Can Stage meal at night. That should put a stop to his nightmares. V. M.—I want to know if I have made a mistake in my marriage? Ans.: You didn't make a mistake in your marriage, but you did make a mistake by not quitting work after you married. Your husband is young and doesn't know how to take on the responsibility of a wife. If you want to make a man out of him, and make him go to work, I advise you to give up your job and let him support you. H. Y.—I have been coughing a lot lately and I would like for you to tell me if it is natural or if it is what I have in mind? Ans.: Don't worry yourself to death thinking you have T.B. for that doesn't appear to be your trouble. Your tonsils seem to be in bad shape and are pulling down your health. I advise you to have them taken out. You'll feel like a different person after you have had them removed. J. R. E.—Does the man from out of town that comes to see me mean me any good? Ans.: This man from out of town is just trying to see how long he can fool you and he appears to be the guilty party in connection with the letter you received last week. If you don't want him to make a fool of you, I advise you not to carry your friendship with him any further, or either just don't take anything he says seriously. F. T. I have something in mind to do and I would like your advice about the matter? Ans.: What you have in mind to do would only make things worse between you and your sweetheart. This is a very personal question and I believe you would be more satisfied with a private reply. See note attached to this column. McL.—Why haven't I received a card as my mother did? Ans.: The cat test you and your mother entered is one that requires the intelligence of a grown person and I am afraid that you haven't much chance to win the prize. You didn't receive a card as your mother did as there are a lot of people that are ahead of you. Your mother still has a chance to win first prize. vered in this paper—ONLY when a sed in your letter.

PLANS COMPLETED FOR CIAA MEET Hampton Preparing for Annual Affair May 18; Records May Fall HAMPTON INSTITUTE, — Great plans are underway at Hampton for the C. I. A. A. championship and fourteenth annual track and field meet to be held on historic Armstrong Field. Saturday, May 18. The splendid cinder path which, in the past, has given many a famous athlete his big chance, is now in excellent condition. Schools and colleges of national renown are expected to send representatives to what is noped to be one of the most colorful meets held anywhere this season. With stars in the several colleges regularly giving commendable performances, it is likely that some of the long-standing Association records will fall. Among the marks expected to do a nosedive is "Rock" Early's quarter-mile time of 49 seconds. Along with it will perhaps go Hampton's relay time of 3.25. Eddie Lipscombs's mile record, and the high jump mark. The old Lee Lipscombe dual will probably furnish thrills for the crown once more. Negroes Signed as Sparring Mates For Baer NEW YORK. (ANP) Max Baer, haeyweight champion, in New York to train for his title fight in June against James Braddock, has brought along two Negro shock absorbers to act as spasmmates during his training period. Seal Harris, one of the punch receivers, is from Chicago. Last winter he fought a number of bouts in South America and was kayed by Primo Carrera in seven rounds. He is taller and heavier than Baer. Dynamite Jackson comes from the West Coast, where he was regarded as the 'grand exalted ruler' of all colored heavyweights until Joe Louis went to Los Angeles. At that time, it was reported that Jackson did not even want to stand up under Louis' bombardment in training and Joe's manager, had to send out a hurry-up call for some man who could "take it" in order to get the Brown Bomber in condition. MAJOR LEAGUE UTTERINGS... Manager Bucky and the boys have been having their bumps since last this column was written...That Whitehead bird out in the Windy City is sure a tough one—a rooster that crows over goose-eggs...

The Nats stop off in Detroit for a game this afternoon and one tomorrow and another Saturday before going on to take on Walter Johnson and his Injuns. One more week in the west and the lads will be back home in the ole Georgia Avenue bailwick...Sixteen days will have elapsed before they again hit the rails for alien soil...Noo Yawk's here Wednesday week for three games. Bobby Burke is doing right well by himself so's Bump Hadley; so's Cliff Bolton, the "bad boy" of the 1934 Senators; so's Jake Powell (so's Frankie Baxter). Heinie Manush, veteran left-fielder of the home-town boys, has been a dangerous batsman ever since he broke into the big leagues... But he never has thrown a scare into the opposition without runners on ahead of him. "F'r instance, opposing hurlers know full well that the Washington outfielder is likely to wreck the ole ball game if the runs on base are sufficient to tie or win. because he is surely likely to paste the apple on the caboose...But Manush seldom cracks out the needed home-run. He doesn't seem to go in for the distance clouting...That's where he's smart. He realizes his arms are too short for consistency in smashing homers and triples...and makes himself content with singles and doubles BISON TRACKSTERS WIN INVITATIONAL CINDER MEET Berry Williams Registers Double Victory in Sprint Races By ART CARTER Thipling the score of its nearest rival.

COLESVILLE GRABS INITIAL CLASH FROM 'DALES Montgomery Countians Snatch 7-3 Decision Over D.C. Nine Some of the cockiness that goes with a championship was taken out of the Hillsdales last Sunday afternoon when Bill Braxton's Colesville Tigers tacked a 7-3 shellack on them in the inaugural game at Bailey's Park before a large opening day crowd. The 'Daes, city champions last year and looked upon as the team to be most highly respected again this year, went down because their men were careless in their fielding. Five errors were committed behind the 7-hit pitching of Jimmy Hurches. New Men Two new faces were seen in the line-up of the "Prides of LeDroit Park." Fennelle, former Washington Black Sox centerfielder, filled the shoes vacated by Bill Fauntroy who left the Hillsdales to take over the managerial reins of the Morning Star Elks. Powell, another former Black Sox player appeared as relief pitcher after Hughes had retired in the seventh in favor of a pinch-hitter. Jimmie Price, who though a hold-over from last year took the field in a new position. Price, last year a pitcher and utility outfielder, covered the initial sack in Sunday's game. Russell hurled the full game for the Montgomery County champions and was nicked for nine hits. These he kept well scattered, however, tightening down after he had been touched for three in the opening frame, and issuing them out singly Lancaster and H. Boston were best at bat for the winners. Each collected a pair of hits. Coleville. AB H. B. Hillades. AB H. B. Mathews.ss. 4 1 1 2 Fennel.ef. 5 1 1 1 Mathews.ss. 4 1 1 2 Fennel.ef. 5 1 1 1 B. Railey.cf. 5 0 0 Fries.lb. 4 1 0 1 E.

Johnson has been around Chlsago ever since Joe Louis started fighting and has seen most of his engagements, but the ex-champ has failed to join those who have been singing the virtues of Louis to the sky. In fact, Jack has said nothing good enough to even make the newspapers. Johnson Jealous There's been some feeling about the matter, and, at a dinner in honor of Louis, at which Johnson was present, the ex-champion tried to explain that he did not mean to knock or $_{\mathrm{r}}$ to under-rate Louis, but had simply tried to advise as to some of his faults which he would need to correct. Friends of Louis, however, suspect that Johnson is a bit jealous of Louis' fame and is unwilling to move over for the new phenom. So when Jack Blackburn, also a great fighter of the old days, says something, it has meaning. According to Kirksey, Blackburn says: "Louis would whip Jack Johnson sure. We would not be a bit afraid to take him on were Johnson in his prime. Johnson was a defensive fighter—he'd fool around until you made a mistake, and then he'd pop you. Louis would get him first."

Clarence "Screamy" Mills is very popular with the young ladies now since he has secured a job with a cab service. Funny how a car can attract such fair damms...While speaking about cars, it reminds me that Malcolm Jones was seen driving Rachel Norton to school these cold mornings. He drives his ole man's V-8...Another group of young men are too busy reading "Shadow" stories late at night. Notice that Skinny and Coony are trying to follow in the footsteps of their hero. ———Leroy Hartman was observed laying his jibe with B. Y, at a certain grill the other nite. Too bad a certain young coed did not catch up with him. These local pimps are a little too much. The Whole Town's Chirping! It seems as though Wilbur "Billy" Carnegie has the ups and downs now since Flo is down in Virginia. Notice that Doris Barlow is on his trail. Wonder where is H. D. of Tech?...Paul Russell is still driving that struggle-buggy of his around town but this time he dropped around Tech. Saw him talking quietly to Josephine Williams last week. Percy Taylor has turned to romantic ways. He asked Geraldine Wiggins for her hand but the young lady sunk in hook, line, and sinker. It's too bad, Percy! Tit and Tat When a certain baseball team took a trip down to Lorton, Sunday, I noticed that Cap Golding made up for lost time. The young man ate four large plates of food, Bob Ripley should have been there ...Snuffy George must have thought about the hunger strike when he saw the kitchen. The poor boy only ate three dinners...Eddie Henson took advantage of free service when he grabbed the bowl from one of the waiters...Eggie Wooden thought he could see a few fresh coeds on the way down but missed his guest when he rode through Alexandria, ...Samuel "Sleepy" Williams is quite a gigolo among the girls nowadays...Mamie Woods had a bean party the other night at a certain restaurant on F Street. **** Billy Ford and William Alexander (Must have been thinking about the ole homestead) are two young tap-artists and the boys are trying to follow in the footsteps of Bolangles Robinson.

Why wear a suit to a dance and then not dance with the many coeds who were present? ....Bertha Hutchinson stood on the sidelines and watched the other girls swing. More Tips Jaki Roots has at last decided to return to his girl friend, Olive Dickerson. Another prodigal son returns home...Clarence Coleman of Miner, likes to hang around the stadium in hopes of seeing Elaine Butler of Cardozo.

In a recent meeting Walter L. Smith, principal, outlined advantages of both. That a majority of the class approves of the hinted costume, was learned in a survey made by the Tribune lately.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING MAY 11.1935 ANTI-LYNCHING BILL NOT LOST, SAYS COSTIGAN New Nation-wide Drive to Be Launched to Put Measure Over "The anti-lynching bill is by no means beaten for the rest of the session." declared Senator Edward P. Costigan (D. Colo.) upon emerging from a conference of proponents of the measure planning future strategy. He declared that the displacement of his motion to consider the bill "was a parliamentary victory rather than a test of the bill itself." Senator Costigan is co-author with Senator Robert F. Wagner (D. New York) of the bill. Walter White, secretary of the National' Association for the Advancement of Colored People which is actively sponsoring the anti-lynching bill, announced a new nationwide drive to force immediate action on the measure in the Senate. "Every organization, every church, every individual who really wants lynching stopped should rush to the N.A.A.C.P. as 'large a contribution as possible as quickly as possible,' he urged. "The next step in the fight many have to be taken almost any day now." The N.A.A.C.P. is planning a series of nation-wide meetings in cooperation with interested organizations in protest against the filibuster and demand that the bill be passed.

PARKS GIVEN $60 ALIMONY (Continued from page 1 ) Mrs. Janie Beckly, wife of Dr. Clay Beckley, was pulled from his car and a fight took place between the two women. Allegation Denied Dr. Beckley who testified for Parks claimed that he was aware of his wife's relations with the real estate man and stated that at the time she was in Parks' car she was attending to a business transaction which he was familiar with. Dr. Beckley scoffed at the charge that his wife's relations were any other than purely of a business nature. Mr. Parks testified that his wife was hot-tempered and that she attacked several of his women clients who came to his office on business affairs. Several other witnesses including Dr. Robert Wilson, Tecumsah Bradshaw, deputy marshal; Hancock Price, and several others testified that they had seen Mrs. Parks in fits of temper and accuse customers in her husband's office. Alimony Reduced Parks, several months ago agreed to give his wife $100 a month and later at the order of the court promised to contribute $75 monthly as alimony. This latest order, of the court reducing the amount to $60 is said to be a victory for the husband. Last week the Tribune inadvertently named Miss Gertrude Black as the woman who was allegedly in Parks' car at the time Mrs. Parks created a scene in the street. Miss Black was in no way connected with the affair. Knew of Business Affair Dr. Beckley stated that Mrs. Parks came to his home on the night of the alleged street scene and showed him a necklace she claimed belonged to Mrs. Beckley and said it was taken from Parks' machine. Dr. Beckley said he was acquainted with his wife's connection with the real estate dealer and felt at the time that there was no truth in the assertion that Mrs. Beckley was guilty of misconduct. Following the decision of the court Mrs. Parks was granted the custody of her two children. Mrs. Parks was represented by Attorney Leonard Block, white, while Mr. Parks' attorney was George A.

Interracial Commission Endorses Federal Law the bombshell in the Senate debate on the Costigan-Wagner measure was the last-minute endossement of a Federal anti-lynching bill by the powerful Southern Commission on Interracial Cooperation of Atlanta, which heretofore stood steadfastly against Federal legislation. The commission met April 25 and adopted a resolution favoring a Federal law which Dr. Will Alexander, its director, promptly sent to every Southern senator and to the press, as well as to Senator Costigan. Dr. Moton Exposes Southerners Who Claimed He Was Not For the Costigan-Wagner Measure Proponents of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill which was sidetracked in the United States senate last Wednesday were not well enough qualified with information about the crime of lynching to dispute and expose all the misrepresentations made by southern senators who contributed to the senate deadlock which caused some of the friends of the measure to desert. One of the most persistent misrepresentations concerned the attitude of Negroes toward the bill. Senator Hugo Black of Alabama, after telling a fancy-dress story about the Willie Peterson case in Alabama, persistently sought to create the impression that everything was hotts-totsy between whites and blacks in his Utopian state and that the Negroes of Alabama were not interested in the anti-lynching bill. On Tuesday he challenged Senator Costigan one of the authors of the bill, to show that Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, had endorsed the measure. As one of the directors of the Southern Inter-racial Commission Dr. Moton had already gone on record in favor of the measure, but Senator Black insisted that Dr. Moton personally gave the bill no favor. Moton's Telegram In response to this charge, Dr. Moton, Wednesday, sent Senator Costigan the following telegram: "In the absence of adequate measures by state action to protect prisoners threatened with mob violence, to put an end to lynching, and to identify to arrest, to indict, and to convict the leaders and participants in lynching, to parties, I am heartily in favor of such legislation as will register the Nation's disapproval of this crime against humanity and insure the prompt investigation of every lynching and the conviction of those who thus take the law in their own hands, and the impeachment and penalizing of officers of the law who fail in their duty to protect prisoners committed to their charge. "When state officers and state courts persistently and repeatedly fall in their duty to guarantee the security of every citizen by the certain functioning of the orderly processes of the law, we are justified in looking to the federal government for the protection which the Constitution declares must be given to every citizen. "It must be remembered that lynchings are not confined to those charged with crimes against women, as the records will show, but are resorted to on indiscriminate provocation, and as yet there is no guarantee anywhere by mandate of the law against its occur- SENATE GROUP FAVORS SCOTT (Continued from Page 1) Several were in the audience who had written letters to the committee opposing Mr. Scott, but they refused to come to the front. Following the failure of the opposition to testify the hearings turned into a laudatory meeting for Mr. Scott. Outstanding colored and white members of the bar came forward to testify in Mr. Scott's behalf. Such men as Crandall Mackey, Austin Canfield and Phillip W. Austin testified as to the fitness and qualification of Mr. Scott for the judgeship. Mitchell Testifies Representative Arthur. W. Mitchell, of Chicago, took an active part in presenting Mr. Scott's qualifications and testified that he had known him for 20 years, had observed his practice here and "he is a man of highest integrity, of unblemished record, a good lawyer and well educated." Mr. Mitchell also offered for the record two petitions from local lawyers, indorsing Mr. Scott, one signed by 32 colored lawyers and one by 48 white attorneys. George C. Gertman, secretary of the white bar association, also spoke in favor of Mr. Scott. Indorsements of letters from former District Attorney John E. Laskey, former District Attorney Leo A. Rover, U. S. Commissioner Needham C. Turnage and former Municipal Court Judge M. M. Doyle were read. Tribune Article Read An endorsement from the Washington Tribune was also read into the record. Over 300 attended the hearings which were held in the Judiciary Room of the Senate. Chairman King had difficulty in keeping the good natured crowd in order. The session would have lasted several hours if all had been permitted to speak in favor of Mr. Scott. When Senator King saw that none of the boasted opposition came forward he closed the hearing with a unanimous recommendation that the favorable report be sent to the full committee. Opponents Leave Following the announcement of the President that Mr. Scott's name was his choice for the bench a flood of protest arose from all of the local white newspapers and many members of the bar, white and colored. It was reported that THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE rence. And when the governor of one of our great states goes so far as to publicly announce the pardon of lynchers in advance of their conviction, it is high time that something be done by higher authority to put an end to this evil. Appeal Against Mobs "If governors, senators, congressmen and state legislators will pledge themselves publicly to see that the necessary legislation against lynching is enacted in each state, the occasion for national legislation will be removed. Till that is done we must look to the federal government for that protection which the states still fail to give and who have suffered most from the neglect, and to the best white people of the south, in whom I have the utmost confidence, if I did not add my voice in support of this federal enactment. "As matters now stand, every section and every race is exposed to this danger, and the application of this law will bear as heavily on one state as another. I am satisfied that outside the field of politics the sober conscience of all classes in the south will support this view. Federal legislation will strengthen those elements in the south who want to see this blot removed from our country." In the same way that Senator Black misrepresented Dr. Moton, he and other southern senators, employing the polished form of prevarication tolerated in the United States senate in the absence of vigorous informed dispute distorted the facts as to lynchings in the south and other conditions throughout the debate. Not Prepared for Debate The friends of the measure, northerners and westerners for the most part, were prepared to vote for the bill, but were not prepared to debate it. They did not have the deep personal interest in its passage which the southern solons had in its defeat. Only a few of the advocates of the bill were prepared to show their temper or their disgust, as in the cases of Senators Clark and McCarran, but even they lacked the knowledge of the problem necessary to offensives of the sort required. Most of them were forced to sit back and swallow whole cloth distortions which the average informed Negro could have exposed without a second's notice. The northern senators sought to keep the racial issue out of the debate, but the southerners observed no such niceties. They fought the Civil war over again and presented an illusory picture of happy, prosperous, peaceful, protected, Uncle Tom Negroes living throughout the length and breath of a fair and beautiful southland.

This aided in the correction of health defects in approximately 5 per cent of the cases, but this was comparatively low because of the economic status of the parents of the girls. Another procedure was supplemented, namely, a clinical chart was devised on where and when to go for clinical treatment. This afforded specific information pertinent to remedial work at a minimum cost. This procedure was effective to the extent that more than 20 per cent of the girls made use of the clinics for remedial work.

"A study of failures for the first semester 1934-1935 submitted by the principal showed for the 10A students a very high percentage of failure and also a very high percentage of withdrawal from school; 20 per cent failure and 18 per cent withdrawal in English; 25 per cent failure and 18 per cent withdrawal in mathematics; 58 per cent failure and 34 per cent withdrawal in biology, etc. (Note.-These percentages do not vary greatly from percentages reported in 1934). As soon as these figures were reported counselors began an intensive study of all pupils enrolled in 10A who had failed two or more academic subjects. Seventy-four pupils. nineteen girls and fifty-five boys, were included in this intensive study. Counselors collected data on the following topics: chronological age, I.Q., number of days absent, subject failed, number of times repeating the subject, pupil's interests, previous school record, teacher's reason for pupils' failure. "Our problem is clearly one of revision of courses of study to meet the needs of Individual students.

She said Mr. Pinkett charged her with being bias. Mrs. McGuire also stated that she wanted to invite several other local persons including Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds, but she did not do this thinking that the original plan of limiting the invitations to officers, would be adhered to. Objected to DuBois She pointed out that it would be unwise for the association to enter a factional fight, and as far back as 1934 she objected to bringing Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, here as he had just resigned as editor of the Crisis, association publication, and by having him speak at that time might bring about an embarrassing situation. Mrs. McGuire flayed "personal prejudices" and said "I have always realized that in organizations' leadership and development there is no place for personal prejudices or preferences. Success of any organization depends on the strict adherence to the principles to which that particular organization stands." Mrs. McGuire's resignation has not bee acted on by the executive committee. Her statement to The Tribune follows: To Leave June "In issuing this statement, I want to say that I have no desire or intention of entering into controversial publicity on the matter of my resignation as president of the District of Columbia Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. "Because of numerous, incorrect statements appearing in the press of April 27th, however, I feel it to be my duty to the organization, as well as myself, to correct these statements. "First of all, my resignation does not 'take effect immediately', but it does so on June 1st, one month after the drive is over. After due consideration, my resignation was submitted at this time, in order that a new president could be selected in time to prepare for the Fall Program. "I was much surprised at the distortion of my objection to the presence of Dr. Mordecai Wyatt Johnson president of Howard University, as a platform guest at the annual mass meeting of the N.A.C.P., which was held at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church on April 13 Did not Object "It was stated in the press that I "objected to Dr. Mordecai Johnson being invited to the mass meeting, recently, at which Mrs. Roosevelt spoke." Not only did I not object to inviting Dr. Johnson to attend the meeting, but called personally by phone and invited Dr. Johnson, and through him, the other members of Howard University faculty. "The position taken before Dr. Johnson's name was mentioned, was that since it was obviously impossible to invite to the platform all of the leaders in the District activities who well merited such courtesy, the organization should confine to inviting as platform guests the national and local officers of the N.A.A.C.P., and these only and with this position, the chairman, the secretary and I agreed. Contrary to the published report these two persons were the only members of the executive committee with whom I discussed the matter. Doesn't Understand Secretary THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING MAY 11.1935 D. C. Had Well Mixed Jury in 1869 dent of Miner Teachers' College. "I immediately objected to these addition as being contrary to the agreement already reached. As a matter of fact, I had already been compelled to refuse to issue an invitation to a most distinguished citizen and gold-star member of the N.A.A.C.P., because of this agreement. In view of this fact, it is difficult to understand the statement attributed to the secretary, that he 'did not know the exact reasons for my objections.' "In regard to Mr. Eugene Clark to whom I also objected, it so happens that Mr. Clark, whom I admire greatly as a man and educator, is a life-long friend. As the head of our 'Teachers' College' and an active member of our educational committee, he would certainly have been invited to the platform had it not been for our definite, official agreement. Avoids Disputes "My objection to Dr. W. E. B. DuBois's appearance, as guest speaker in October, 1934, was also misinterpreted. My great desire has been to build up the local branch. This can hardly be accomplished by focusing attention upon serious disputes. My stand on avoiding the appearance of participation in partisan disputes of any kind, as a matter of branch policy, was definitely stated to the executive committee at the time of the discussion on Dr. DuBois in 1934. My plan at that time was for a series of meetings, extending through the winter season of 1934-35, intended to stimulate interest and spread information with regard to the N.A.A.C.P. "I objected to Dr. DuBois as a speaker for the opening meeting of the series, because it seemed probable that his appearance at the time he was just emerging from a prolonged and widely publicized difference over the policies of the organization, would bear every earmark of a partisan gesture. We agreed, however to his appearance later in the season. "While arranging for other speakers for this series of meetings, I accompanied the secretary and Professor William E. Taylo to Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson's office, where we extended to him an invitation to speak. He was later forced to decline this speaking engagement. N.A.A.C.P. Has Opportunity "The hus case, involving one Manie Kinchlow, presented to me by Attorney Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr. was referred to and reviewed by the chairman of our legal committee. who reported the case merited action of the N.A.A.C.P. I favored N.A.A.C.P. action on the case. Attorney Johnson was then referred by me to Mr. Bruce and Mr. Pinkett for further consideration. "My reasons for resigning have been very clearly stated in my resignation, which the executive committee is free to release at any time it sees fit to do so. "In concluding this statement I should like to say that faced as it is at this time with the acute needs of our people in the District of Columbia, as well as by the obligations imposed upon it by virtue of its strategic position in the Nation's Capital, the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. has an opportunity to be of invaluable service. "I have stated to the executive committee and I want the supporters of the N.A.A.C.P. to know, that I am willing and anxious to continue work with the organization as a lay member, although finding it inadvisable to attempt further work as an official."

MARLBORO COP FREED BY JURY MARLBORO COP FREED BY JURY (Continued from page one) quittal. There could be no betrayal from these men who had rid den his buccoboard and borrowed his sow Called Wanton Killer The jury had been given the case after an impassioned plea by Mr. Bowie to "place this wanton, reckless killer behind the bars." Prior to the prosecutor's closing argument. R. W. McCullough, counsel for Flory had beeched the jury to "face the facts and consider what it meant to the county and the community to take out of it and away from his wife and daughter the sort of protection that your wives and my wife your children and my children need." Flory was charged with manslaughter in an indictment returned by a grand jury before whom States Attorney Bowie had appeared with the findings of his probe. This probe had been taken up at the insistence of Attorney B. V. Lawson, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's legal staff, Attorney Lawson and Thurgood Marshall, Baltimore, Md., a lawyer had been retained to represent the family of Stevens by the Women's Federation of Prince Georges County. Fled Custody The indictment grew out of a charge that Flory shot and mortally wounded the Negro when the latter jumped from the window of an automobile in which he was being carried from Biadensburg to the Hyattsville. Md., jail along with a group of other prisoners. Witnesses stated that Stevens had been arrested on a traffic violation and was being transported in the care of Flory to the jail when he suddenly attempted to escape. The officer, they testified, gave chase a few feet and then fired his gun after the flee man-fired his gun after the fleeing man. A verdict of a coroner's jury held that Flory was acting in the line of duty and fired because he feared for the safety of his own life. A little over seven years ago, it was brought out at the trial, Flory struck a white prisoner over the head with the butt of his revolver and was hailed into court on an assault charge. He was convicted and fined $50 for the offense.

STATE SHOULD PAY "FORGOT TEN CONVICT" $500, IS OPINION IN MISS. PARCHMAN, Miss., (ANP) — According to reports reaching here, there is a rising opinion among citizens of Mississippi to the effect that the state should pay a colored convict, who has served 15 years for a crime he did not commit, at least $500 a year for his incarceration HREE EARLY NEGRO WRITERS TITLE OF NEW BOOK "Early Negro American Writers" comprises what the editor, Benjamin Brawley, considers the most interesting and important Negro American writings up to the close of the Civil War, from the standpoints of both literary and social interest. The collection is also significant for its contribution to the history of the Negro. In his introduction the editor sketches concisely and clearly the social history of the period covered by this work and points out with keen discernment the attitude of the Negro toward his surroundings. The writings here collected represent the conscious expression of his attitude and his response to the changing conditions in the period from 1761 to 1865. In the preparation of the biographical and critical sketches, the editor has shown rare judgement in selecting from material which is admittedly incomplete and inaccurate, pertinent and complete facts about the authors represented. Included in the collection are representative writings of Jupiter Hammon. Philis Wheatley, Gustavus Vassa. Benjamin Banneker, Richard Allen, Absalom Jones, Prince Hall, Peter Williams, George Moses Horton, David Walker, Daniel A. Payne, Josiah Henson, William Wells Brown. Frederick Douglass, Martin Robinson Delaney, James M. Whitfield, Charles L. Reason, George B. Vashon, James Madison Bell, Frances E. W. Harper, and Alexander Crummell. This book comes from The University of North Carolina Press and sells for $2.50. A review will be published at an early date. Dr. Brawley is professor of English at Howard University. Other worth while volumes from their press that deals with the Negro are "The Negro Sings a New Heaven," "Folk Culture on St. Helena Island." "A Social History of the Sea Islands," "Black Roadways," "The Negro and His Songs," "Folk Beliefs of the Southern Negro," "John Henry: Tracking Down a Negro Legend," and "Negro Workaday Songs." -C.L.F.

This Sunday is dedicated to mothers, a day which men and women are asked to stop in their busy affairs and send a word of cheer to the one person we can look forward to when sincere friendship is sorely needed. Of course a visit is more appreciated, but those who find it impossible to go home, a small token if it's no more than a letter can at this time cheer a heart that is wondering and praying that all is well with us. The least one can do is to write a letter home. A while back a man in New York named what to him were the ten most beautiful words in the English language. As we remember it he left out "peace." It should have been included. The radio and the newspaper have gotten along fairly well to date. But the real competition will come with the establishment of television on a nation-wide scale. Dictators No detail of the wonders in this new and ever-changing world is more amazing than the overthrow of constituted authorities and the assumption of autocratic powers of government in many lands by self-created rulers, exercising powers of life and death over the people in manner and form never attempted by czar, emperor or king! The royal despot of Russia was supplanted by Kerenski who in short order was himself displaced by Lenin and Trotski. These set up the "U.S.S.R." the Soviet Republic in name, but in fact the most perfect autocracy the world has known. Trotski, stripped of power, was soon in exile, but Lenin, dead, is enshrined in Moscow's Red Square, the sainted symbol of world communism. Stalin "carries on," prescribes in exact manner the habits and life of the Russian people. What they shall eat, in what manner and for what wage they shall work, their attitude toward religion, even the sacred details of their family life. The (mad) war lord of Germany, all-highest of the world's most cultured inhabitants, exiled and dethroned, dreams lonely in isolated "Doorn," while Hitler, the Austrian house painter dominates the land of "kultur," persecutes the Jews, defies the League of Nations, and prepares to inaugurate a new and more frightful war. The King of Italy still lives, scion of an ancient dynasty, but few can even recall his name. While the sombre never-smiling Mussolini takes over in absolute control the ambitious purpose to fully restore the "Glory that was Rome." Marshal Pilsudsky, man of destiny in Poland; Boris III, in Bulgaria, and other pretenders in puppet lands fashion their doings after the greater powers and cause all thinking men to ponder and wonder "who and what port!" Can England, Mother of Parliament, survive or will some brawny Laborite displace the ancient British monarchy and dispute and forever dispel the reality of the Divine Right of Kings? Or yet, here in this boasted land of the free, can our fast disappearing constitutional guarantee be completely annuled and the present "regimentation" give way to the more frankly expressed dictatorship! Through all the years of our national existence, American citizens have cherished the belief that come what might in other lands, that here at home, safeguarded by a sacred and written Constitution, our government of the people, by the people, for the people, could not—must not perish from the earth!! "The Times" and "The Customs" give to thousands most serious pause. Will the truly startling changes in our system of government, a new and more modern philosophy of political science, bring about some man on horseback, some self-created dictator? Who knows? No matter what happens to the country, old-fashioned cooperation in community life is still the best antidote for a community's ills. Well, most of us got through the winter and are still here. Spring and summer will be largely what we and the weather make of them. Kelly Miller Discusses Both the Republican and Democratic parties have repudiated or ignored the principles upon which they were founded and are now living upon political expediences catching the manners living as they rise. "When a party dies can it live again?" is a query which history answers in the negative. Every social organization, like a biological organism, has within itself germs of decay. It is born, develops, flourishes and fades like a plant or an animal, nothing lasts forever. "Our little systems have their day; they have their day and cease $t_0$ be." History shows that whenever a political or social organization departs from or repeals the enacting principles upon which it was founded, its remaining days are numbered. The defeat of a political party, however crushing, does not necessarily connote its death. We have seen both the Democratic and Republican Parties suffer humiliating defeat and sphyxu-like, arise from their own ashes. So long as an organization persevers in the faith upon which it was founded, there is hope for resuscitation. The experience of political parties in America vindicates this principle. But whenever an organization loses its own soul, it thereby undergoes a moral death beyond the hope of resurrection. BOTH PARTIES HAVE REPUI DIATED PRINCIPLES Both the Republican and Democratic parties have repudiated or ignored the political principles upon which they were founded and are now living upon political expediences, catching the manners living as they rise. At each quadrennial convention the contending parties draft a platform, not expressive of their fundamental faith and belief, but merely as a device to out bid the adversary for popular favor respective to the issues of the day and hour. Every great revolution or evolution if you please, like that through which we are now passing, will demand new political organizations to consolidate and effectualize transformed public thought and attitude. Neither of the old line parties, in its traditional guise, is adequate to meet the issues of a changing nation in the midst of a changing world. They are both beating about the bush feeling after the effective way, if happily they might find it. Neither has any great regard for its own traditions or consistency of its policies. G.O.P. CONCEIVED IN LIBERTY The Republican Party was conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition of the equality of all men before the law. It typified the rebirth of the nation after the elimination of human slavery. Incidentally, the Grand Old Party adopted the protective tariff upon which it has build our national prosperity. In its scheme of reorganization it does not propose to revert either to the fundamental principle of human rights or the forthright principle of the protective tariff. The chief hope of the reorganizer rests mainly upon the exploitation to profiteers by the mistakes and imperfections of the political adversary. A rebirth on this basis will probably be of short duration leaving the last stage of the "Grand Old Party" worse than the first Likewise, the Democratic Party has also repudiated its basic principles of local sovereignty and free trade. Unfortunately, this party early became entangled in the issues of human slavery as it found lodgement in the South. The democracy of Frankin D. Roosevelt is as far from that of Samuel J. Tilden as the East is from the West. Local Sovereignty states rights, free trade and provincial attitude on human rights have been abandoned and linger only as embarrassing survivors. DOMESTIC CONDITIONS DOMESTIC CONDITIONS FOREIGN RELATIONS As the country is now confronted by upset domestic conditions and foreign relations, neither of the old line parties is able to cope with the situation by traditional formulas. The new wine cannot be put into the old bottle. A new deal is demanded by the nature of the situation both in its political and economic aspects. The "New Deal" as sponsored by Franklin D. Roosevelt constitutes the proposal which is now before the American people for acceptance. Those who have captured the machinery of the Democratic Party have fallen in behind Roosevelt and avow in "The New Deal" and its adequacy to cope with the issues of the day. "Not so" rejoin the leaders who have captured the Republican organization. Although they have put forth no proposals of their own, they hope to come into power by negation. DEMOCRATS PROPOSE REPUBLICANS OPPOSE Traditionally, the party in power has proposed and the party out of power has constructive measures to conduct the affair of the nation. Of late these roles have been reversed. The Republican Party is now opposing what ever the Democratic Party proposes, without any constructive measures of its own. Some new political organization is inevitable. It may take the form of one dominant political party which wipes out all opposition as has taken place in Italy, Germany and Russia. Or, we may continue the two-party system which has operated from the beginning of our Government until now. But in either case both of the old parties must be born again. The new birth must partake of the nature and spirit of the new political, economic and social conditions which the revolution or evolution is enforcing upon us. Partisianship, in its traditional sense, is adjourned sine die.

The spirit of democracy discussed by anxious Virginian. To the Editor: "When the press is free and every man is able to read, there and there alone, democracy is safe." The opportunities of the past were great; the opportunities of the present are greater; the opportunities of the future are to be still greater. When we consider the past and how few the opportunities were, and connect them with the present, we can easily come to the conclusion, that present thinking is largely based on past experiences. To grasp and maintain a hold on these vast opportunities that now confront us, it is imperative that every person become a good citizen; a progressive citizen, and to qualify for active contact with the wheels of progress. There are five great institutions that are so distinctively educational that they must be taken into consideration in every attempt to become a good citizen. They are the family, the church, the state, civil society, and the school. We need the influence of the responsibilities and the privileges of all these five institutions. We must take our rightful part in the responsibilities and the privileges of the state. In all these respects we are susceptible to the same general action and reaction of institution as of the other races. We are now living in a progressive age, with the past to think about and the future yet to live. It is thought that makes the world—high, noble, prophetic, and exalted. Tis this that makes races and nations, industries and trade, farming an decommerce. Such do we accredit to the spirit of democracy. J. A. GRAHAM. Arlington Civic League.

To the Editor: There comes a time when group action is necessary for a decision. That hour seems now, more pertinent in view of the disgraceful happenings, recently, in Harlem. It is self-evident that a divided people is a weak people. In all other forward moving races, we find racial pride and solidarity. But this is not true among us. We organize every other thing imaginable but to solidify. We consistently turn a deaf ear yet, complain of injustices in relief, politics and what not when solidarity on our part would cure some of the present ills practiced against us. Twenty-five years ago, the Jews were treated in many instances worse than the Negro in this country and in this city but is it so today? The main reason for the change, their leaders called their people together and they made one's suffering and humiliation that of all; hence, the Jews are a mighty power today and highly respected. If getting together of leaders and people for bettering their condition is good for other races, why is it so detrimental to the Negroes? Something is radically wrong in our ranks. No mass of people can advance without it and it's lackass stupidity upon our part to delay further. We need not expect fair treatment while we lay down on the job. With solidarity in Harlem a new and a more glorious portion will be ours and not until. Does not our immediate wretched condition in Harlem suggest pre-eminently this truth? Why halt we between two opinions? J. EDWARD HARRISON New York City. Other Papers Say DEATH BY FILIBUSTER (The California News- In the upper house of Congress, known to Americans as the Senate, we read about a filibuster being conducted by Southern Senators in preventing a deciding vote on the widely publicized anti-lynchning bill, known as the Costigan-Wagner bill. Readers, of course, will understand that a filibuster consists of an organized program to prevent a decisive action in legislative matters by dilatory tactics. Such a practice, not consistent with the high office of the United States Senate, is what that great body can be charged and proven guilty of. The American people attempt to select the highest type of citizen to elect for leadership to the Senate, as it is considered the most imposing representative body of our government. Failure on the part of the members of the Senate to function fairly and without prejudice and pass bills to become laws which will protect the entire citizenry would automatically mark them as unfit to be members of that august body. To dodge the issue and fail to vote for or against the anti-lynching bill would prove them to be moral cowards and by such dilatory tactics allow the red blot of lynching to continue to mar the escutcheon of this so-called "land of the free and home of the brave." The "Brain Trust" had a brainstorm and then blew over. American citizens consist of two classes—taxpayers and tax collectors. We are just wondering when the forgotten man will be remembered.

NEGRO OFFICERED TROOPS WON THE RESPECT AND ADMIRATION OF THE ALLIED AND ENEMY ARMIES SOCIAL SECURITY APPROACHES By CHARLES M. THOMAS Over and over again in this column attempts have been made to point out very definite lines along which human movements take place. The hope has been held that younger generations would grasp the idea of progress and thus let go of many of the conditioning attitudes of their grandparents, putting themselves in harmony with social trends. "Learn or perish!" has been the underlying idea, because the march of time plays no favorites, and valuable energy is lost, wasted, in failing to get started on the right track. Ideals Overlap the Generations Wide reading of history takes so much time, that few indulge in it, and thus are obliged to flit from reason to reason as their fortunes are affected or their uncritical learnings lead them. If imaginative, people find in religion as expounded, adequate explanation for life, but if impatient then the tendency is to seek some direct mode of action to relieve doubt or dissatisfaction. In all ages men have been forced to overcome lack of harmony within themselves, between man and man, and between man and nature. Religion became the manner in which man first found harmony with his own urges, and it remains as the best prescription, even in this more or less scientific age. Government of some kind became the method of harmonizing human conflicts; blood relations or kinship groups organized against outsiders. Population pressure and resulting admixture of blood forced modifications of this method thus giving rise to law. Cities and citystates in the ancient world first felt this influence. In America, today, the backward regions still operate under the force of these ancient ideas, and we have literal biblical bases for life along with strong enmity to people outside of the kindship organization. This is true among blacks and whites. It is true with youth compared with age. The newcomers find themselves bound by regulations formulated to keep things as they have been for long periods of time. America offered, in its wide expanse of unexplored resources, opportunities for freedom of the individual, and thus instilled "individualism and democracy." Laws were drafted to protect natural rights, and interpreted to safeguard the wills of the dominant English people. In cities, and through inventions, the scene to harmonizing the wants and desires of men, and newcomers, forced at first to take cold comfort, slowly secured power through organized effort and protest. As time passed, the frontier filled and passed and population doubled back on itself in cities and congested places. Ambitious newcomers, aided by an educational system that taught them the basic principles of the national plan, soon secured place and power in shaping legislation and interpreting the laws. The New Social Order Where blood relationship and then wealth had been the older elements of prestige, and are still such in remote and backward areas, social security is seen to be the only means by which to avoid the rabid introduction today of strange ideas of government threatening the democratic ideal. Thousands are to be employed and millions of tax money spent in caring for those whose inability to play a part, or exhaustion in playing their part in the rapidly shifting panarama of human progress, makes them dangerous elements in retaining the capitalistic system so long in vogue. In all ages men in power have acted in this way to protect the institutions which are held sacred because favoring their mode of life. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Young colored men and women who feel their progress blocked by conditions confronting the satisfaction of their wants and desires, ought to read "A Century of Negro Migration," by Woodson and learn of the hardships met by earlier generations seeking mere bodily freedom in places now most liberal toward their grandchildren. Institutional and political pressure are forms of urge to action by peoples through all history. Modern economic discrimination is but another stage in human progress, and must be met by offering what the world wants if we are to get what we desire. Civilization is but the result of man's response either to the push of pressures, or the urge and lure of ideals. Our minds are affected by our responses to the patterns of the time and all time, hence it behooves our group to widen its areas of experience and secure harmony for self, man to man, ann man with nature. Religion is as essential to the first as selence is to the last. Legal-political action is aimed to control distribution of goods as scarcity increases in a growing population. Hence our government has started upon a course in harmony with social security. Democracy is being made safe for America. Pickens Says --- HOT AIR VERSUS AIRPLANES By William Pickens About everybody, including the newspapers of Mississippi, are opposed to Mussolini's attack on Ethiopia. At least Haile and his diplomats have beaten the Italians hands-down on the winning of world sentiment. Even the Negroes of Harlem have held a great mass meeting of protest. Thousands of them were in attendance; some papers say three thousand, some say more. If only Mussolini could have heard the speeches made, he would have been frightened into offering Haile an unconditional peace,—for fear that Italy would have to fight not only the tribesmen of Abyssinia but twelve or fifteen blacks from Harlem and Vicksburg. So far as the talk went, everything was just fine: Afro-America was backing Ethiopia to the limit. And then the oratory ceased. the atmosphere cleared a bit and the collection was taken. To back up all that talk, one hundred and fifty dollars was laid on the table. That was just about enough to notify Selassie that he had "fifteen million American Negroes behind him."—so far behind him that it would take all the coin they had to communicate with him. That may have cheered Haile's heart, but what that old boy needs most is powder and planes. It will take money, not hot air. He will need men more than he needs resolutions: artisans, clerks, mechanics, skilled workers, scientists, of all sorts. In these hard time we have a surplus of these in New York and in Georgia. If they have no silver and gold, they have brains and services to offer Abyssinia. Those items will be more effective than one hundred and fifty dollars' worth of resolutions. It must have taken all of that sum to "defray the expenses of the meeting." But it all depends on the lessons we learn, fighting for our own causes: we talk. listen. cheer. laugh. clap thunderously—but we do not pay up. All the Negroes outside of the insane asylums, and most of those inside, are in favor of the Costigan-Wagner antilynching bill; but very few of those even on the outside have given a BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL UNITED STATES NATIONAL GUARD BRIGADIER GENERAL FRANKLIN A.

A little DEED is worth a whole car-load of hot air. Talk is only good in a secondary sense: WHEN IT STIRS TO DEEDS. A few days ago a Republican friend of mine said to me: "Senator Costigan's motion to have the Anti-Lynching Bill considered by the Senate was defeated by a large number of Democrats and one or two Republicans. "Now it seems," said this friend, "that there is only one thing left for the Negroes to do—give these enemies the same treatment at the polls they gave us in the Senate. Incidentally, I am reminded of a certain gentleman who tried to make the grade after he had, allegedly, made certain definite remarks concerning the Negro's participation in politics. It is a matter of history, now what happened to that gentleman and those who voted for his confirmation. The Negroes made a good job of that situation." The Anti-Lynching Bill is of equal importance and the enemies of this legislation will meet or face an array of Negro voters at the polls unequal in the annals of American politics. The Negroes are growing politically conscious of their power at the polls and any one who accepts our voters and then desert us in a crisis is sure to incur the displeasure of the Negro electorate at election time. I agree with my Republican friend that the Negroes should make no mistake about who were their friends on the day when the Anti-Lynching Bill was side-tracked. Why did these gentlemen forsake the cause of the Negro? Does the Anti-Lynching Bill ask anything unjust or unwise? The Negro has a constitutional right to demand of his representatives that they support legislation he is interested in; that they support legislation which is fundamental in the lives of the American people. It is the solemn duty of the representative to abide by the wishes of his constituents when those wishes are reasonable. Some of our friends went astray last week and voted to adjourn thereby side-tracking the Anti-Lynching Bill. It was, indeed, unfortunate that the Senate adjourned on this Bill but reaction will come at election time. It is generally believed that the Anti-Lynching Bill will come up again this term and if at that time the Bill fails for want of support the Negro will have been challenged as to whether he is going to permit these office-seekers and officeholders to resent his reasonable demands or whether he will rise to the occasion and prove equal to the task. We are to face greater and more powerful interests than have ever before entered the arena of American politics if we do not rise up with our votes and strike down those who have deceived us. It is poor policy to boast in advance about what we intend to do, but there is no secret as to what the Negroes are going to do about their political enemies. Every one knows that the Anti-Lynching Bill is needed in order that those helpless numbers of our race should be offered a measure of protection, and the Negroes have a perfect right to demand that their representatives support such a measure. The Negro has learned not to be daunted by political obstacles thrown in his way to upset such legislation as the Anti-Lynching Bill. I believe that the present setback will be turned into means of political success if we only use our votes intelligently in the coming election. HERMAN D. WHALEY. 0 Early spring floods in Mo., have done damage to fish sanctuaries in that section. Political Tip To the Editor: A Nation Looks Backward To the Editors The hearts of twelve Negroes sank within them, when it became definitely known that the Costigan-Wagner Anti-lynch Bill had been sidelettracked, and perhaps sent to oblivion. Millions of others, who are interested in social justice, were solely disappointed, to see a Congress at such a time as this, take a backward step. Those who are interested in a brighter and better day, are fighting with courage and faith to build on the wreck and ruin caused by the mistakes and blunders of unscruppulous and self-centered leaders, have been disappointed to say the least, in not getting help and encouragement from those sources, from which we expected the most. The moral justification of the Costigan-Wagner Bill is too obvious for debate. Its opponents fell back on the traditional argument of state rights, which at most is a Constitutional technicality. But assuming that it does violate the letter of the Constitution, going into states to protect the lives of citizens of the United States, surely it does not violate its spirit. The hundreds of citizens, who have died at the hands of mob violence, without legal sanction, within the last twenty-five years, justifies a strong hand on the part of the Federal Government. Many of us listened with bated breath, as the President gave his fireside talk to the nation. With increasing eagerness did we listen as he plead for the passage of his social security program. But alas, not one word was uttered, either directly or indirectly in the interest of the Costigan-Wagner Antilynch Bill, which at that moment hung in the balance. The supreme opportunity presented itself. The high moment had come. But millions went away sadly disappointed, knowing that the Spirit had not triumphed, but that partisan politics was still in the saddle. Again, we watched and listened, as the battle waged on the Senate floor, for and against the bill. And the story was finally told when the Senate voted 48 to 32 on an adjournment motion, which set aside this bill, perhaps never to be brought up again at this Congress. Our great disappointment came, however, not so much on the defeat of the bill, as in the Socratic irony and inconsistency of Senator William E. Borah of Idaho. For years Senator Borah has been the champion of human rights and social justice. He is an avowed enemy of war. He has fought tenaciously against the League of Nations and the World Court, because he feared the treacherous alliances of foreign politics. When Judge John J. Parker came up for the Supreme Bench in 1930, Senator Borah's voice was heard eloquently defending labor, and Judge Parker was defeated. In 1932, when prohibition became one of the major issues of the National campaign, and public sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of the repeal of the 18th Amendment. Senator Borah remained true to his conviction, that prohibition was best for the nation. For millions today, Senator Borah is no longer the champion of human rights. He has become in their estimation, not an international statesman, but a provinential politician; not the crusader of this generation for social justice, but an exchanger of political principles for present expedients. If he had defended the bill as asly as he denounced it, it might still have been lost, but the faith of millions would have been conserved. One tenth of the population of this nation has little to look to. or expect from the politicians of this generation. The Negro is being deliberately driven into the folds of the International Labor Defense, Communist groups, and such un-American organizations, which offer temporary relief, or permanent freedom from the tarrany of injustice and oppression. The interests of all submerged peoples are identical. Inevitably they will find common ground. If America fails, who is to blame? Rev. R. W.

Freedmen's Nurses Score in "The Masked Woman" "The Masked Woman," a thrilling three-act mystery comedy by Helen Monsell, was presented Saturday by the Bronze Masque, Freedmen's Hospital Nursing School Players at the Howard University Medical School auditorium. The play centers around the formula of the murdered young chemist, Walter Eanese who formerly occupied the room in the college town which Judith Akkins and Ann Bradley have just rented. Almost before the girls have started unpacking they encounter the first of a series of people who are grimly determined to make them give up the room. The girls refuse for they surmise that the demand may come from a desire to ransack the room for the valuable secret formula the young chemist may have hidden there. Knowing that it was a masked woman who committed the murder the girls began at once suspecting everybody, including the mothly landlady. It was not until after a night of terror in which strange things happened, hands snatched, mysterious disappearances occurred that the tangle of mystery and mirth, suspense and fun was finally unravelled. Gladys White was excellent as Katherine Tremayne. The walking fashion plate, Emma Taylor, kept the audience in a burst of laughter with her fine characterization of the idiotic maid Juanna Frazier was charming as Rose Laws, Walter Eames' sister who told the nervous Anna Bradley, (played by Bessie Jones) that the formula was hidden in the back of the picture. Dora Wallace was true to type as the conservative Miss Prudent. Florence Roberts was convincing as the spiritualist who finally turned out to be a detective. Dora Davis gave a fine portrai of the frightened careworn landlady. Her daughter, the sullen hysterical Molra was cleverly played by Martha Wilson whom Judith Atkins (Evelyn Howell) skillfully trapped and revealed as the masked murderer. The play was directed by Gertrude Parthenia McBrown. The scenery and lighting was by Lois Jones and Henry Hudson. Miss Louise Burge, Soloist at Asbury M. E. Church Miss Louise Burge, contralto soloist of the School of Music of Howard University, for several years, and now a student at the Julliard Graduate School of Music of New York City, will be the guest soloist for the Mother's Day Service of the Epworth League of Asbury M.

PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men TEN New Brick Homes! CONSISTING OF LARGE LIVING ROOM, DINING ROOM TWO BED ROOMS, KITCHEN, AND BATH TO REACH—Drive out Penna. Avenue. S. E., to 11th St. cross bridge, drive straight out Nichols Ave., turn right at Sumner Road one-half block to Wade Road SIX Mrs. Vivian Turner, Washington Tribune columnist, getting a lot of "Oh-yo-nice-smart-girlie's" for helping the Goodloe's get out such clever invitations for their housewarming last Saturday evening. If Miss Lenora Randolph's major job is 'principalling' the Margaret Washington Vocational School, her minor task is the 'chauffeur' role. She played the part ever so efficiently during the Easter holidays when she piloted her sister, Miss Mary Ellen Randolph, Miss Lula Prater and others through the hills and vales of Virginia. They took in Petersburg (even launched at the Virginia State College) and visited Lynchburg, Richmond, Hampton and other points. And they say that every tree and telegraph pole that fringes the broad highway was still standing straight and tall after the Randolph car had passed. The reason Mrs. Harriet A. Lee is doing so much calendar-calculating is because pretty Miss Julia Goines of Atlantic City is begging her to hurry on to the "City by the Sea" and spend a few lazy days before the summer season begins. And Mrs. Lee is trying to decide which of these fine May days is the best to take a trip in. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bradford of 19 R Street, Northwest, are no more certain that two and two make four than they are that Thomasine plus a tambourine makes music. Thomasine is the small daughter of the Bradfords and she was a member of the "Toy Orchestra" that made merry on the stage of the Cook School last Tuesday. ... With invitations to this pretty thing and that, no wonder Mrs Campbell Johnson, wife of the Y secretary, jumped into a sport dress and got herself all ready to go to the Musolit's Palm Beach Dance on Friday night when the dance had been held the Wednesday before. --- A lot of interesting talk (sounds sort of let's-get-married-ish) going the rounds about an ever so expert stenographer and a maiden sweet and demure. --- Although Miss Thelma Stafford is a lovely law-abiding young lady, when you meet her at a dance, at a church or even a tea ther's a smart young lawyer nearby. The mean old thermometer dropped the other day and Mrs. Irene Trigg Perkins had to put away the pretty Spring print (and the jaunty red hat that spells chic for her in capital letters). May the mercury rise soon and bring the outfit back. --- All the guests at Mrs. T. E. Hawkins' (Bonita's) post-Easter party trying their best to find out what she did to the string beans that she served with the baked, spiced ham, rice potatoes and cheese and carrot salad. Ever so thinly sliced these beans were, and deliciously green, and tender. You ate so many of e'm you hardly had any room for the ice cream, cake and candy. Twas a shame too, to cut the pretty cake. Careful hands had built a soft green nest on top of the frosty white icing and filled it with gay-colored jelly bird's eggs And standing around the nest, as if to protect its contents, were five or six plink candy hens. Everybody was blessing Bonita for the way she put over her party, and the guests might have gone straight home still giving her all the credit, if Mrs. Grace Hawkins, wife of Thomas Hawkins, assistant Dean of Men of Howard University, hadn't come in from the kitchen. The story got out then and the gist of it was this: Bonita did the smiling while her in-law (Mrs. Tom Hawkins) did the rest. **** No the pretty girl you saw with handcuffs on each wrist wasn't on her way to jail. She was simply introducing Milady's brand new bracelets. Maybe 'twas the haircut; maybe 'twas the hat; maybe 'twas the angle at which the lady wore it. May 'twas the beaming face for which the chapeau formed a frame. But at any rate, there was something absolutely stunning about the graceful. big-brimmed hat that Mrs. Minnie Lawson had on at a Sunday evening tea. And still interesting letters get to the daily papers. Last week it was smart Wilkie Collins airing his bright ideas on that much discussed "Marriage Clause," No. 213. --- On a recent smart occasion Mrs. Lucile Banks (slim little teacher) looked very lovely, indeed in a striped organdie gown. It boasted not even one little wisp of ribbon or lace and yet the dress was strikingly effective because the clever designer had manipulated the stripes in such a manner that they can lengthwise, crosswise and on the bias too. Melville Moman of 1410 Hopkins Street is a good bridge player alright and often fills in when friends drop in for a game with him and his wife. But last week when Dr. John Eve of Hot Springs, Ark., an old friend of the family was in the city, the charming Maude Ethel (that Mrs. Moman) had to look around for another contract filler-in for her husband was ever so busy showing Dr. Eve the town. --- Tips from a Tea—Miss Sadie Daniel of the Teachers' College pouring tea for the Epsilon Sigma Iota Sorority at Mrs. Dora Letcher's last Sunday. She might have been pouring molasses for all the attention you paid your cup. (You were busy of course, trying to take in every detail of her lovely black and white dress). The pretty candle-lighted table with ies exquisite cover (two hundred years old or more) sparkled with crystal and silver and made your mind wander, and your mouth fill with water at the good things piled high among the flowers. In the parlor lovely Mrs. Ellison, wife of Zion Baptist's new pastor sang sweetly away. So did Mrs. Josephine Johnson of Irving Street and a cute little song-bird from Howard University. J. Walter Fisher furnished music as did pretty Miss McMurtry Every heart thrilled with gladness as Mrs. Esther Popel Shaw gave her own charming poems, Lawyers, preachers. doctors, everyday folks like you and me, indeed the town turned out to see the Epsilon Sigma Iota's. From five to nine o'clock they stayed there helping to raise some revenue for the Northwest Settlement House. At ten o'clock the "Chair" (James Waters) and the Mrs. were still there. Mr. Waters busy eating. But before he had devoured even half of his salad he remembered how he broke the last pair of scales he got on, so he reluctantly left the rest of the salad right there on his plate. Girl Reserves Hold Cherry Blossom Festival One of the most beautiful events of the season was the Cherry Blossom festival sponsored by the Girl Reserve Committee. Friday, at the Y.W.C.A. The gym was beautifully decorated with trees and branches covered with the cherry blossoms, made by the Dunbar Community Center and Girl Reserves. Large scenes of the Tidal Basin and Speedway Drive completed the striking setting. The program started with the entrance of the Japanese Empress and her attendants preceded by a flower girl dropping petals. Thirty girls in Girl Reserve uniforms followed. A program of unusual talent consisted of special tap and soft shoe dance numbers from Randall Junior High School Girl Reserves, saw, instrumental and vocal solos, acrobatic units by the Misses Arnolds and other features were given. The Hope Chest ended with the chest awarded to Miss Louise Offutt who was crowned queen of the festival. The chest was filled with many beautiful gifts, Misses Greekie run second with Misses Grissom, Lewis and Williams following.

LUB meet- Helen North- ence of Sixth mem- sions serv- AL ing at test, re- B home of summer k, with at the well. 232 southeast, s were "Tradesman's distance" signifies no class distinction to a self-respecting milkman. He sees the community's back doors as the receptive portals through which his valuable merchandise enters thousands of expectant homes. He makes it his business to take the shortest route to the family refrigerator. And as surely as day follows night, milk arrives on appointed doorsteps. No miracle, of course. And no mere happen so. Milk gets where and when it wanted because the milkman puts his heart into keeping faith with the muscon consumer. And because he believes that the true test of a service is the spirit in which it is given, and not the praise with which the world acclaims it. A worth while job well done provides its own accent of honor. In a very real sense the man wife occupies himself to good purpose in the service of his fellow achilles the highest manhood.

HAROLD FLOWERS Encouraged by the recent success of presentations in Pennsylvania and Connecticut, the Negro Repertory Players are paking plans for an extensive tour of the South and West. According to an announcement by Thomas Richardson, business manager of the group, the trip will begin as soon as two weeks afterwards have been definitely arranged. The initial journey of the group carried them to Philadelphia, Hartford and Bridgeport. On April 23 the Players presented three one-act plays before an audience of 600 at St. Peter Claver's Auditorium in Philadelphia. The same plays were presented to mixed audiences in Hartford and Bridgeport. The group offered a new series of plays, two of which were written by members of the group James Butcher's "The Seer." Thomas Richardson's "Dead Men Don't Dance," and Paul Green's "No Count Boy" completed the program. Members of the group making the trip were Leighla Whipper, Henry Hudson. Merrill Booker, Lucia Hill, Valerie Parks, Thomas Richardson, William Beverly, James Jones, and Lucas Howard. The Players are under the direction of James Butcher, Howard University professor. Specializing in plays depicting Negro life, and attempting to create an appreciation for such types of plays, the Players carry a variety of performances which are expected to win wide acclaim through the South and West. The play written by Thomas Richardson a member of the cast and business manager of the group. "Dead Men Don't Dance," will probably be played to only Negro audiences in the South. The scene is laid in a cell of a Southern jail, surrounded by an angry mob seeking to avenge one of the usual crimes attributed to Negro men. Henry Hudson plays the role of Jed, who realizes the imminent danger which pervades the dingy cell. The sheriff enters the cell and is over-powered by Jed who obtains his weapon and fights back at the mob members who enter the cell. A final presentation of a new series of plays will be made to Washington theatre-goers within a few weeks. The group was highly received by a large audience at a recent performance at the Lincoln Congregational Temple. Mrs. Maggie M. Johnson Buried at Lexington, Va. Funeral services for Mrs. Maggie M.

Hayden Johnson, member of the Board of Education Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Johnson has given considerable study to this problem and he produced letters from all of the principals of the junior high schools approving of the plan. He proposed that an adjustment teacher be assigned to each junior high school. His or her duties would be to give careful study to problem children. The regular teachers can not give the proper attention to these pupils now as it would interfere with their regular "load." Approved By Principals Principals who wrote letters to Dr. Johnson favoring the plan were Miss V. E. Chase, Terrell Junior High; Walter L. Savov, Garnet-Patterson; H. A. Haines, Browne Junior High; Mary H. Plummer Francis Junior High; G. Smith Wormley, Randall Junior High; and Joseph G. Logan, Shaw Junior High. Dr. Johnson proposed that since all of these schools except two are to be assigned one or more teachers next fall, he asked that one of Captain Rhoda Milliken, Woman's Bureau, will speak on "Child Labor Legislation. and Regulation." To Hold Public Meeting In the evening, the meeting will be open to the public. William G. Opey. Child Welfare Division of the Board of Public Welfare and chairman of the program committee, will be the presiding officer. The conference address will be given by Dr. Charles H.
