150 ENLIST FOR ABYSSINIAN WAR Owner of Shanties Seeks to Halt Low-Cost Housing Project Negroes Are Funny That Way By NANNIE H. BURROUGHS Negroes are funny—natural born funny, and the thing that makes them a success at the business is that they are not conscious of the fact that they play a perfect role. Negroes are funny enough to be in the "funnies" every day and to star in the greatest drama that can be staged. In their performances they run the gamut, from plain, unsophisticated, soul happiness into light comedy, up into rich, rollicking humor, through deep, soul-stirring pathos and compassion, down into stark, heart-breaking death-dealing or lofty tragedy. They are in all of these roles most perfect sectors. Novelists and playwrights have never done Negroes justice. If they were to tell the story as it is or let Negroes play their part as they live it in everyday life, Negroes would actually run away with every show and leave great audiences standing up and applauding wildly. But, instead of such triumps, when novelists and playwrights get through caricaturing Negroes, they play the leading role in "The Imitation of Life." Someday, somebody will get sense enough to portray Negro life as it is in America and what a marvelous drama that will be. It will excel Dr. DuBois' latest book, "Black Reconstruction." That book is now the talk of the "New Nighted" States. It will be "Life," not "the Imitation." But back to the point—Negroes are funny and don't know it. They are always getting upset, excited, hilarious, pompous, chesty, or satisfied over something that doesn't amount to anything of vital importance. Three years ago they got excited over the glamour of and glittering promises of a new day under a new deal. They got so excited that their memory failed them. They went running into the promise land. They declared that things could not be any worse. They flew from evils of which they knew to evils of which they should have known. They were excited. They wanted a new deal. They got it. The masses got relief—from work. A handful of "leaders" got desks and assignments with nothing to deal out except alibis. Negroes are funny—politically funny. They have borrowed imagination and wonderful "forget-the promise of future blessings in the new social order. Somehow they got the idea that all they had to do was to vote as they were told and then sit down and wait for somebody to deliver them. They are being delivered—from their jobs. Negroes get all worked up over imaginary insults. Just now they are feigning to be awfully sad because Frederick Douglass ran behind in the race for a place in the Hall of Fame. They are only playing, because Negroes are not bothered about having the name of Frederick Douglass perpetuated; if they are, they have a mighty "weedy way" of showing it. The Frederick Douglass Memorial Home in the Capital City of the Nation sets in the middle of a weed patch. Its surroundings look more like the wilderness of Judea than like a shrine perpetuating the sacrificial achievements and idealism of the first truly great Negro produced on American soil. The little den in which Frederick Douglass wrote his red hot appeals for justice for his people, is tumbling down, while thousands of the members of his race brag about him before school children once a year, use his name to get applause on high occasions and make the very cobblestone over which the crest champion trod, to make the way straight for his race, tremble under their feet as they strut in littering regalia. What a show—that a perfect show! If Negroes love and desire to cherish the name of Frederick Douglass, they would make that fourteen acre plot known as "Cedar Hill," look like Mount Vernon. Washington fought for liberty for the colonists, Douglass fought for freedom for the slaves. One deserves as much honor as the other. The shrine of the one should be as sacred as the shrine of the other to all Americans. But Negroes play (about their shrine) while white people work on theirs. Of course Negroes are demanding that the name of Douglass be put in the Hall of Fame. Why? simply because it would not cost them anything but a lot of talk. The beautification of Cedar Hill would cost them money, labor and time. Negroes are not hero wrohippers. They forget those who suffer and die for them and they vote for those who persecute and despitefully use them. Negroes are funny. The runners, jumpers, fighters and loafers have made the front page in all of the Metropolitan dailies. They have outrun, outjumped, outfought and outloafed white folks, but those glorious feats do not disturb Americarns who think deeply about Anglo-Saxon superiority. What would disturb these Anglo-Saxons would be a Negro who can outthink their thinkers and outdo their doers.

XV. No. 12 150 E Owner of BANK BAKER BROS. SENTENCED 18 MONTHS Former Prudential Bank Employees Fail to Get Probation Edward A. and Clarence S. Baker, brothers and former employees of the Prudential Bank, were sentenced to serve from 18 months to three years in prison by Justice Joseph W. Cox in the District Supreme Court, Monday. The brothers pleaded guilty to the theft of $500 from the bank in 1934. Justice Cox in pronouncing the sentences stated that he performed his duty in the cases with regret but could not grant either one of the defendants probation. That taking into consideration their previous good records and the many letters and appeals of their friends for clemency he was going to be as lenient as possible and impose the lightest sentence he could under the law. The Court granted the "bank boys" two requested "favors," however, one that the "term would be kept open" and the other that Edward Baker was allowed to remain at liberty under bond until Monday, July 22. A scene bordering on the dramatic occurred when Attorney Leahy arose and said just as the sentences were pronounced: "Your honor, as I understand, the sentences will be allowed to begin next Monday." Justice Cox replied: "That request will be granted provided it is agreeable to the bondman." James Walter Stewart, the bondman at first dissented, but later upon appeals from all four of the defense counsel, Perry W.

Haile Selassie's New Girl's Nose Who S Kin of Ethiopian Emperor S French Court For Mayh Egyptian Maiden PARIS, France (ANP)—Araya Haile Selassie, nephew of Haile Selassie, of Ethiopia, faces a term of a year in jail after having been convicted in a French court of biting off the tip of the nose of Miss Yamille Gaiati, a young Egyptian demoiselle who is reported to have spurred his attentions Selassie was convicted and sentenced, but appealed the sentences. According to the story told in the court at Chambery where many American doughboys took their furloughs during the World War, disclosed that Selassie, while studying at Geneva, Switzerland, fell in love with the beautiful Egyptian girl. But, for some indiscretion, Selassie was expelled from Switzerland. He sought to persuade the languorous Yamille to elope with him to France, but she refused and declared that the cake between them was all dough.

The tender-hearted maiden relented and made haste to the side of her Ethiopian lover. At their meeting, Selassie is reported to have begged and pleaded with the girl to marry him, but she was obdurate. He thereupon implored her to simply let him kiss her goodbye. Yamile raised her lips to his Selassie embraced her. Suddenly the girls shrieked with pain and broke away. Selassie had with one quick snap bitten the tip of her nose off and blood streamed from it. For this action he was arrested. Yamille later went to a plastic surgeon and had her nose repaired, but only a year in jail for Selassie will repair the injury to her feelings ONLY NEGRO NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL WASHINGTON, D.C., WEEK ENDING JULY 20, 1935 DR. WEAVER TO MARRY TEACHER D.C. and Baltimore Society Prepare for Ceremony in Latter City Today A marriage of interest to Washington and Baltimore will take place in the latter city this evening (Thursday), when Dr. Robert Weaver, adviser on the economic status of the Negro, Department of the Interior, and Miss Ella Haith, Howard University graduate and head of dramatic recreational work in the Baltimore schools, become united in marriage. Despite the fact that the affair is confined to close friends of the couple and is more or less private, the Tribune learned that the well-known pair have been making plans for some time for the ceremony. Miss Haita is the daughter of a Wilmington, N.C. school teacher who is well known in the social life of the Carolinas. She is a graduate of Howard and received her A.M. degree from Carnegie Tech. Before coming to the east she taught dramatic art at Tuskegee Institute. Dr. Wegver is one of the prominent members of the New Deal cabinet and received his appointment from the President a few years ago. He is an A.B. and Ph.D. from Harvard University and is socially prominent in Washington, Baltimore and other eastern cities. The Tribune was unable to learn where the wedding would take place, but many Washington social leaders are leaving the city today to attend the rites. CIVIC GROUP RAISES $307 FOR CALHOUN Memorial Service Held to Aid Widow and Children of River Hero At a special memorial meeting in honor of Sterling Calhoun, 32 year-old relief worker, who died in a heroic attempt to save two children from drowning, last Wednesday, held at the John Wesley A.M. E. Zion Church last night (Wednesday), an announcement was made that the sum of $307.07 had been raised by the Southwest Civic Association for the Calhoun Fund. The meeting, held under the auspices of the civic group, was presided over by John T. Rhines, president of the Association. The meeting served a two-fold purpose. Besides paying tribute to the deceased hero, President Rhines and his associates were able to impress upon Southwest citizens the grave necessity of better recreational facilities for the children of the community, and to urge greater interest in the civic affairs of (See CITIZENS RALLY, Page 3) Supreme Court Ruling In Texas Case Spurs Democratic Opposition ARLINGTON, Va.—The Negro vote in Arlington County, numbering more than 500, is expected to be challenged in the Democratic primaries, August 6, it was learned late last week. That colored participation in the primaries in this county will probably draw the fire of Democratic opposition was believed likely following a perusal of the reactions of affiliated political groups to the Supreme Court ruling validating the exclusion of Negroes from Democratic primaries in Texas. Despite the fact that the Federal court of the eastern district of Virginia held the party regulation contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment, local attorneys believe Virginia's case is parallel to the Texas case and that any member of the Democratic organization is legally entitled to challenge and exclude the Negro primary in any part of the state. High Court Ruling In the Texas case the Supreme Court held that any party convention may regulate its own primaries and determine who should be qualified to vote in them.

H. C. Brown, receiver of the Industrial Savings Bank and administrator of the estate of Mrs. Augusta C. Scott, 400 T Street, Northwest, who died in September 1934 from injuries said to have been sustained when she was hurt following a crash between a street car on which she was a passenger and a truck belonging to the Griffith Company. The accident occurred in August of last year while Mrs. Scott was riding on the car. The crash between the trolley and truck happened at Everett Street and Connecticut Avenue. The impact was so great that the brakes of the car were broken and the hand brake rod so bent that it did not work. The motorman allegedly lost control of the car which ran wild. In its mad dash Mrs. Scott jumped from the trolley and was injured from the fall. She is survived by her husband, J. Graham Scott; a daughter and a son, Blanche L. and Holmes C. Attorneys Benjamin L.

No one testified in behalf of the dog. Judge Gus A. Schuldt ordered the dog to be destroyed by Friday, July 19. BROOKLYN, N.Y. (UNP)—A bolt of lightning ripened the huge tent of Prophet K. Costonie at Atlantic Avenue during Tuesday night's heavy rain storm. But the event had no effect upon the 1,300 followers that gathered there except to make them hoist their umbrellas and sit for two hours longer listening to the prophet. Costonie erected the tent, which occupies a block, a month ago after crowded meetings in several Brooklyn balls. He furnished the tent with chairs given him by hundreds of followers in Brooklyn. He installed a loud-speaker inside and outside of the structure and put a sound truck in the streets of Brooklyn with the results that today he easily draws many times the crowds drawn by the Brooklyn preachers.

She looks to the United States, peopleled with lovers of peace, believers in justice, as the only genuine disinterested friend she has on all the earth.

They gathered to pay respects to a man whose characteristic heroism that cost him his life had aroused a sympathetic Washington public They gathered to hear the Rev, Guy ‘Witls, pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church, of which Mr, Cal- houn was a member, preach the main eulogy while’ resounding “Amens” were heard throughout the buitding. Baby in Hospital Sobbing softly, Mrs. Edna Cal- houn, the hero's widow, and_her two children, Hazel, 5, and Flor ence, 3, sati in the front pew at the church. A third sister, Mary, seven months old, is in Gailinget Hospital seriously ill with pneu monia. They sat silent and motion- less while the Rev. Mr. Wills praised the virtues of their lost father. Once the grief-stricken mother gave vent to her feelings, The Rev, Mr. Wills said: “Broth- er Calhoun had this great love. And because he did have it his death shall not have been in vain. His ‘love,’ which had prompted him to jump into the Potomac waters without thought for himself has resulted in closer ties between the race of the man who sacrificed his life and that of the boy and girl he tried to save.” Was a “Doer” “Brother Calhoun was a doer, not a talker,” he declared. Mr. Calhoun had been a member of the church for four years, said the pastor, and whenever there was some work to be done, “Brother” Sterling always “did his best”— he'never learned how to say no- Eider A. C. Jones, of Buitalo, N.Y., declared, “This man has an swered God's call. He didn’t hesi- tate to jump into those waters be cause the children who needed help were white, He never saw white or black—and that js God’e wish.” Elder Louis Gutman, represent: ing the white race on ‘the funeral program, said Calhoun exemplified the highest of the virtues, charity. He deciared, “He gave his life ‘giv ing his best’—and that is charity, and charity means love. For Cal- houn it meant love for the entire human race.” Repeats Poem The Rev, R. H, Kelly and the Rev, Benjamin H. Whiting, pastor of the Friendship Baptist Chureh, also spoke. The Rev. Mr- Whiting recited the poem, “Abou “Ben Ad- hem,” substituting Sterling Cal- houn's name. “And lo, Sterling Cathoun’s name led all the rest,” he conclud i. Approximately 500 persons filed past the casket to pay their last respect to the hero as the choi sang, “We Shal! Meet on the Beau- ‘tiful Shore,” “Nearer My God to Thee,” and “In the Sweet Bye and Rye. Condolences were read at the outset of the services, The services lasted nearly three hours while a crowd of mourners outside were drenched by the Sun: day downpour of rain.

In view of the fact that all but three of these houses—a low row of dingy clap-boarded dwellings joined .together — were rented, bringing her an income of $1,000 a year, she said she felt the gov- ernment’s offer ridiculous: In her petition filed through At: torneys W. Gwynn Gardiner and I. I. Bolotin, white, Miss Keyes charged the government could not take her property, because of eight deficiencies jn the condemnation or- der of three weeks ago. She said there was no allegation of the in- ability of the government to ac- quire the property by contract with her. And she said there was no allegation that the government and the owner were unable to agree upon the price of the land. Miss Keyes inherited most of the property from Leonard A. Hany ilton, white, for 30 years a board- er in her home.

SPORT SCRIPTS A British writer who styles him- self “Flyweight,” writing in the Sunday Pictorial, a Londan news- paper, deplored the possibility of a Negro boxing champion, recalling Jack Johnson’s behavior. He sug- gested Joe Louis be matched with the winner of the Obie Walker- Larry Gaines bout to be staged in Tondon, Saturday, for the “col- ored heavyweight championship of the world.” His assumption was “then everybody will be happy.” Can you envision Mike Jac~ obs, promoter of the Twentieth Century Club, being happy over turning thumbs down on the ONLY MAN IN THE WORLD capable of reviving the “million-dollar” gate? This is « rather exaggerated concern coming from a re- puted “expert” in @ country whose last heavyweight hope went out in 13. seconds, the world’s fastest knockout. Proposed plans of the Bison Ath- letic Club to bring Eulace Pea- cock, Temple University sprint ace and three times conqueror of Jesse Owens, to Washington as a fea- ture of the interplayground track and field meet to be held here Aug: ust 16, were shattered when the former Jersey youth sailed for Ew rope with a picked team of Ameri- can cinderpath luminaries. How: ever, the Bison Club, not to be denied, has already started nego tiations to have Al Threadgill, an- other Temple ace, or Ben Johnson, Columbia's star sprinter, here.

His letter to me (which I'd intended long ago to run verbatim, but have been unable to get to) informed me that I was “all wet” in my recent article accusing him of trying to scatter Natie Brown’s brains over one of the nation’s fair cities, via Joe Louis. Dick tells me he really believes Natie’s the only one capable of staying right side up with the Brown Bomber and has no doubt that Jarring Joe can stop ’em all right now—except Nate. He then goes on to remind me that I pulled a “boner’’ in placing the Brown-Louis fight in Chicago instead of in Detroit (where they really fought). That kinda hurt my feelings, but I was wont to overlook it in view of the fact that his letter proved to me that I had one reader. That makes a guy feel good. eee ee That it’s time a local fight man got wise to him- self. Everybody else is. After trying in vain to sell a committee from the Eastern Board of Officials, the physical education department of the local public schools and various athletic instructors the idea of a separate set-up of the Amateur Athletic Union in the District of Columbia, and later making himself a general pest with his antics when- ever he was employed as the third man in the ring in local colored matches, he approached the Tribune in the hope of convincing them that his new ward, a sort of “fair- to-middlin’” little fellow who has been hanging around D.C. recently, had been signed for a “special” six-round bout on the American Legion card last Thursday night. Asked if this match wasn’t just a preliminary scrap, he insisted that it was not a preliminary, but a “special.” From reliable sources we are informed his fighter’s ser- vices were contributed free of charge. This in a day when preliminary boys are falling over «ne another for $10 scraps, either does or does not bear out the man’s state- ment that the man’s boy, was fighting a “special.” That Bill McCormick, another of those downtown col- umnists, slaps the head right on the nail—I mean the nail right on the head—when he says: “If Max Baer ever fights Joe Louis, Ancil Hoffman will have to spend a weck around the ringside—picking up the pieces of the Livermore Lily. Baer can be and has been hit by almost any fighter. But he never has been walloped as Louis will wallop him. When the Midnight Express conks ’em, they stay conked.” see ee That Paul Gallico, still another of those doggoned (my mother doesn’t like damned) downtown columnists, is not quite as broad-minded as I've always pictured him. On top of his assertions that there’d be no race-rioting at the Carnera-Louis fisticuffs because Negroes would not START any (as if Negroes have EVER been the aggressors in any clash between the races), he eomes back with an observa- tion equally as narrow in the mind of this commentator. Gallico, in a recent article, suggests that Helen Wills Moody quit playing tennis so that she can say she was unbeaten. He advises her to rest on her laurels, thereby running away from the possibility of defeat at the hands of Helen Jacobs or another fair racket-wielder yet unknown. He gives as an example of his idea of good sportsmanship Bobby Jones, who retired from tournament play in golf because and after he had made his never to be forgotten “grand slam.” Bobby Jones was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, golfers of all time. But I still think the sporting blood prefers Walter Hagen—for his “guts.” That Shirley Povich, another .... , shows foresight to the 'nth degree when he nominates: “As either the most courageous or the most foolhardy man in the world, or both, Max Schmeling;~who ducked a bout with Max Baer to accept one with Joe Louis.” That Bob Considine, yet another downtown column- ist, and the Goldie Ahearn-Joe Turner promotorial combine at last deserve some words of praise from this pillar. Con- sidine’s “On the Line” hasn't always pleased this writer. It likewise couldn't have been always the most acceptable part of the day’s news in other racial quarters because of its lack’of broadness in many respects. Nor could it be said here that Turner and Ahearn have been exactly on the level in their dealings with colored ring prospects here- abouts. But when Ahearn and Turner make it known that they intend to sponsor a boxing card for the benefit of the widow and tree kids of Sterling Caihoun, who last week died in a vain attempt to save two white children, they take the hatchet right out of my hand even before I have a chance to bury it. And I'm certainly struck by Consi- dine’s suggestion that local fans rally behind Walter John- son to prove that—despite the pannings of a group of | Midwest parasites—he does have some friends left in base- peepee who believe in him and in his ideals.

CHICAGO, Il—Search for an outdoor training camp for Joe Louis—the sensational Detroit col- red, heavyweight who trades punches with’ King Leginsky at Comiskey Park here in Chicago on August 7—has narrowed down to two sites: One is the deserted Pine Lodge at Grand Beach, Mich., on the lake front some 60 miles southeast of Chicago. The other is the Fox Valley Jockey Club's race- ‘track at Aurora, Ill., about 40 miles southwest of Chicago. Co-manager Julian Black, who looks after Louis's affairs in Chi- cago, visited both sites and is ex- pected to make a decision shortly. Louis arrived in Chicago on Tues- day and was anxious to go into camp at once: Joe has been doing little or nothing in the way of training since his stopping of Primo Carnera in New York three ‘weeks ago, and is anxious to get down to work again, Favors Lake Site The Grand Beach site is under stood to be most favored because ‘of its location near Lake Michigan. ‘The Pine Lodge would give ample opportunity for the solitude which Louis likes when in training for an important battle, and the fact that both an indoor and an outdoor ring could be erected would end his managers’ worries about the ‘weather. The Aurora racetrack has its proximity to Chicago as one of the major advantages recommending it. If it is taken an outdoor ring will be pitched on the concrete lawn in front of. the grandstand, and living quarters may be ar- ranged for in the clubhouse.

Writing in the issue of June 30, "Fly-Weight" stated: "This Joe Louis has been making his presence felt in American rings ever since he joined the professional ranks after having a successful period as an amateur. One physical peculiarity about Louis is the extraordinary size of his thumbs. They are so large that the boxing gloves have to be specially made for him." Hand Reveals Character "This feature will be of particular interest to students of chirromancy. In the science of the hand and those who make a study of it declare that it is indeed a science, the thumb is regarded as the key to what the hand has to reveal in character. Perhaps it will not be out of place here to quote what an authority has to say on this subject: "It is the master finger. It sums up our vital force, our will. The Ancients looked upon it as the very symbol of a man. The long thumb indicates the dominating will power of the leaders and the ambitions. Many of the world's great men had large thumbs." Fears Negro as Champion After praising Louis and setting him up as the greatest heavyweight of the present era, disregarding the reports of his popularity throughout the United States, which must have reached England, the writer then harks back to the time when Jack Johnson won the championship and the "problem" which it created opines: "that for public peace and security it is not advisable to have a Negro holding the world's heavyweight title. Probably many people in this country dismiss the subject with a mere shrug by saying, "well that is America's problem: it does not affect us." "Perhaps it will be as well to point out that the British Empire is more largely affected than America. It it is a serious matter in the United States, it is much more so in so many parts of the world under the Union Jack." Suggests "Colored" Champion "If Joe Louis is to be a champion, let him be the colored champion of the world. There are enough Negro fighters to have a championship all to themselves. Obie Walker, the Texas black, who has made his home in Paris, is to meet Larry Gains, the Canadian Negro whose home is in Leicester, in a contest on the ground of the Leicester Rugby F. C. July 20. "The winner of this contest could be matched with Louis in a fight for the world's colored heavyweight title and if it is allowed to rest at that everybody will be happy." Readers of the story, especially in the United States, where Louis is the idol of boxing fans, however, will disagree with the writer in that everybody will be happy. In the group of dissenters and uphappers, if such a plan was carried out, would include thousands of fair-minded fans, promoters who are seeking to fatten their purses by the prizefight game, scores of white fighters including Max Schmeling, who could buy an estate in either England or his own country with the loser's end of a purse accruing from a bout with Louis and twelve million Negro citizens in the United States. Following the writer's plan those who believe in fair play fictiously assert that it might be well for Negroes to hold their own "Olympics" so that Owens, Peacock, Metcalfe, Gordon, Brooks and other United States track stars will run against only Negroes. Then if they won "everybody would be happy" and Nordic supremacy would be left undisturbed. Trainer Calls Turn on Detroit Destroyer CHICAGO (ANP)—Joe Louis, the ferocious killer of the prize ring, is a soda boy. Take the word of his trainer, Jack Blackburne, for it. Blackburne, was swapping banter with a number of admirers in the Grand Hotel cafe the other night when one dour gent expressed the following opinion: "Aw. well, Joe Louis will be just like all the rest. He'll make two or three thousand dollars, then throw it all away." "Maybe he will," retorted Blackburne, "but it'll take him an awful long time to throw it away on soda and pop carn."

With fans from every section of the country evincing greater interest in the third annual diamond struggle than in either of the other two, and with interest in the league as a while at fever pitch throughout the east and midwest, a record vote is piling up in the offices of the league secretary. Youngsters to the Fore Of paramount interest in the early voting is the number of ballots being cast for youngsters in the league. In 1933 and 1934, veterans of the diamond usurped the spotlight, but with the rejuvenation of the league and a real playing schedule which has allowed hundreds of thousands of fans to see all of the various clubs in action, the names of some youngsters who were unheralded and unsung two years ago, have jumped into the lead. Jones, Brown, Pitchers Of course, any compilation of figures for the East team, which includes Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Newark and New York Cubans, would be incomplete without mentioning the name of Slim Jones as a pitcher. Although bothered with a sore arm, which is just beginning to respond to treatment, Jones's sensational performance in Chicago and New York last year, when he tied up with Satchel Paige, makes him top choice. Giving him a close run for his money, however, is Tiant, great Cuban southpaw, who looms as the find of the year.

(UNP)—Joe Louis unwittingly enabled the beautiful Mrs. Dora Roxborough to gain an important step in her divorce action against John Roxborough, Louis's manager, Thursday, when Louis accepted a subpoena for Roxborough, as the two were attending a local boxing match. Roxborough saw a stranger handing Louis the une welcomed subpoena accompanied by a fee of $271 for Louis if he saw that Roxborough got the subpoena. Roxborough shouted at Louis not to accept the legal document but Louis insisted on taking it. He told his manager that the law should be obeyed. Roxborough Wealthy Roxborough, whose career as Louis's manager is not his first introduction to fame, has for many years been a man of considerable cash wealth. He made his money in the sporting world and never bothered much with social life. Mrs. Roxborough, on the other hand, has been active in Detroit's social whirl and this difference in tastes gave rise to the divorce action. It is not generally known that the action was still dragging along until Joe Louis's accident introduction into the Roxborough marital quarrel.

In the matter of heated competition, and professional glamour, the yearly Florida meets might well be termed "Little Nationals." world...and who has chalked up victories over the strongest clubs in the league, with only, mediocre fielding and hitting support, is also a dangerous contender--while Jackman of Brooklyn, rounds out the four leaders. . Matlock Leads In West In the west, which carries Crawfords, Grays, Chicago and Tom Wilson's fighting Columbus Club, Brown of the Grays, Matlock of Crawfords, Trent of Chicago and Willis of Columbus rank in the order named. This quartet looms as a "natural" for a manager to work with. Brown, Cum Posey's great all-around star, and considered by many the most valuable man in the game this year, ranks at the top of the list of twirlers, and if he weren't placed in the bracket, would undoubtedly be in the line-up as an outfielder because of his ability to hit 'em far, wide and handsome. Matlock of the Crawfords, went through the entire first half without a defeat, while winning eight to give the Craws the edge they needed. Trent has long been hailed as one of the smartest men in the game, while Willis is once again the "ace of '33." Close for Catchers The race for catchers in both sections is exceptionally close, with J, Hayes of Newark, leading Bizz Mackey of Philly Stars by 33 votes at the end of the second week. Casey, the other Philly receiver is in the race up to his neck, while Palm and Burnett (who is playing at third for Brooklyn) are not yet counted out. In the west, it is a four-way race, with Larry Brown, manager of Chicago, holding a slight edge over Perkins, pepper-pot of the Craws, Gibson of the Craws, generally conceded to be one of the longest hitters in the game, is third, while Dukes of the Grays is fourth. Leonard Leads Charleston First base presents a real battle in both sections. The East shows Salazar, Cuban flash, leading all Around the Play Centers Of the Nation's Capital Around the Play Centers Of the Nation's Capital By Clarence McL. Pendleton Play centers are bubbling over with activities these days. All kinds of tournaments and contests are in progress on the various playgrounds and play streets. The newest activity is archery. Classes are being held each morning at Walker Stadium at 11 a.m., and every evening at 5 p.m. for adults. Horse shoe tournaments will be in progress this week with the various conferences competing for the city championship. Volley ball began last week with Walker Stadium losing to Howard in three games series. Tennis tournaments will open next week for boys and girls beginning July 24. Many new stars have been entered from a number of the playgrounds. The first swimming meet of the season will be held in the Howard Pool for boy contestants on August 6, at 2 p.m. Many boys are expecting to garner prizes. The defending champion will be Howard with Banneker, Francis and Walker Stadium trying for 1935 honors. In track, Barry Farms is working hard to defend its five-year rule of girl events. A few other grounds are expected to come into the limelight this season with good, close competition. The very newest ground to be opened this year is the one located at Young School on Bennings Road, Northeast. The ground is being supervised by Miss Vesta Kenny and Harry Parker. Much is expected of these excellent workers during the coming season. Bison A.A. Plans Net and Track Tests Plans for a tennis tournament were formulated by the Bison Athletic Association at a meeting held at the home of its president, Thomas Anderson, 1107 Irving Street, Northwest. With Martin Pree, Lincoln University net star, directing the tournament plans many stars of the eastern seaboard are expected to take part. Many tennis players from Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and West Virginia are being invited. Dates for the tournament according to Pree will be from September 3 to 7 and will in all probability be played on the newly completed Banneker Courts. The events included in the program are Men's singles and doubles. Cups will be awarded to winners in each event and medals to runnersup. B.A.A. Track Meet The Bison A.A. will stage in connection with the coming playground championships on August 16, several invitational events for outstanding stars in track and field events. Invitations have been sent out to several stars to compete in the 100 yards, 440 yards, half mile and high jump. Among those already preparing for the contest are rivals. He's a hitter and fielder deluxe, batting something after the order of Paul Waner. Wilson of Philadelphia, who held down third base last year, leads Giles of Brooklyn, but from the way votes are piling up, in the lead changes almost daily. In the west, Charleston's supremacy is being threatened for the first time since the inauguration of the classic. Leonard, captain of the Grays, and the greatest prospect to come up in years, is actually leading in votes, with Davis of Chicago, third, and West of Columbus, fourth. "Through the Middle" Setup And now we come to the crux of the double play combinations... the through the middle combination without which no team can hope to go far. In the east, the short stop, second base combination shows Stevens of Philly and Dick Seay of the same team in action. These men, smallest in the game, would be something to write home about. But closely pressing Stevens is Yancey of Brooklyn for shortstop berth. The veteran Dick Lundy has an inside edge on Sealy. Bond of Newark is a classy short fielder and his hitting is consistent. He is up for his first year and threatens to make everyone hustle. Harry Williams continues to loom as a dangerous contender for second. In the West, it looks as though Wells is a fixture again this year. Hughes of Columbus has a lead over Carlisle at second...the brilliant fielder and hard hitter of the Grays being in a slump at present. Third Base not Hard Third Base not Hard It's not hard to figure out the third base combinations, this early. Creacy of Philadelphia is getting the call over Dandridge, who reminds one of Hans Wagner in his palmy days. Dandridge looms as one of the best in the East, and the race will be closely watched. Out west, it looks like Radcliffe is on his way again, with Snow of Columbus and Judy Johnson of the Crawfords furnishing competition of parts. EXHIBITION FIGHT OFF FOR LOUIS Promoters, Mike Jacobs Insist on Abandonment of Toronto Bout CHICAGO. Ill.—The vetoing of Joe Louis's plans for an exhibition bout in Toronto later this month, the search for an outdoor training camp for the sensational Detroit heavyweight, and the news that both Louis and King Levinsky will return to Chicago to open hard training for their ten-round battle of punches at Comiskey Park August 7. were the highlights of a busy week in promoter Joe Foley's headquarter, here. The calling off of Louis's exhibition date in Toronto came after promoter Joe Foley had protested that Joe might be injured, and thus force a postponement of the Levinsky battle. Mike Jacobs, who holds a contract on Louis for later fights, and who released the colored battler to Foley for the Levinsky engagement, flew in from New York as soon as he learned of the dispute over the Toronto exhibition and advised Louis's managers that his release would permit Louis to fight only the single Chicago bout. Inter-racial All-Star Clash Proposed Plans are on foot for an interracial all-star game to be played at Griffith Stadium, early next month. The contest will bring together an all-star team selected by Vic Gauza, downtown sports goods salesman and president of the Washington Post Association, and an outfit picked by Sam Lacy and Art Carter of the Washington Tribune Sports Department. Although the date is not as yet definite, August 18 is being held as probable by the District Athletic Association. Chaney, Williams, Scurry and Edgar Lee. More releases will be made concerning athletes invited to the meet. Mrs. McKinney Returns to Work. Mrs.-Violet. McKinney, director of Rose Park Playground who has been confined to her home for quite sometime is now able to return to her ground for duty. Mrs. McKinney has done very good work in the Georgetown area and her loss during past few months has been greatly felt. Followers of National Pastime Flooding Headquarters With Votes The outfield, both in the East and in the West, furnish the real fireworks. Both outer-guards will be the finest ever gotten together. With a wealth ever material, "Fats" Jenkins loops head and shoulders over all competitors for left field, being already over 800 points ahead of Oms, Chaney White, however, seems to have found the fountain of youth, and has been going at terific speed during the past three weeks. Dihigo is getting the call for right field by a comfortable margin, with Stone of Brooklyn and Jack Dunn swinging along. Center field may produce another man who has never seen action in an East-West game in Arnold, the speedy little outer gardener from Newark. A wonderful judge of flyballs, an accurate judge of balls and strikes and a speed merchant of the first water, he's moving in fast. Next to him come Perez of Brooklyn and Davenport of Philly—although Davenport has been on the casualty list since the Craws-Philly series in Pittsburgh early in May. The West Outfield The West outfield presents the real problem. What choice can fans make when they have men like Zolly Wright of Columbus, Crutchfield of the Craws, Vic Harris of the Grays, J. Bell of the Craws, Turkey Stearns of Chicago, Mule Suttles also of Chicago, Parnell of Columbus, Bandhead of Craws, Benjamin of the Grays and Rodus of Chicago. The count this week shows Zolly Wright leading the pack in right field, "Cool Papa" Bell a step ahead of Turkey Stearns in center, while Vic Harris and Mule Suttles are in a merry-go-round race in left. In fact, this race is so close that every position will be in doubt until the final votes are count NEGRO NATIONAL ASSOCIATION NEGRO NATIONAL ASSOCIATION July 20, 21, 22—Grays at Cubans; Nashville-Columbus at Brooklyn.

After a tour with the Whitman Sisters, she went to Los Angeles. Through a contract flaw, she lost her theatre engagement. Then, one night, she danced—engaged for a single dance only!—at the Ebell Theatre. Miss LeGon was on the stage for twenty-two minutes! She was the hit of the show. This led to her signing for "Heoray for Love" her initial screen appearance—with Bill Robinson, who promptly called her the "second Florence Mills." Hollywood servants who have worked for other stars will not be employed by Evelyn Brent. For years it was an asset for a butler or maid to come to Miss Brent with reference from other motion picture stars. It isn't any more.

Jackie Williams, the twenty-two year old California dancing flash, is the newest Broadway sensation. He has been added to the cast of principals at Connie's Inn and is drawing the attention of the leading theatrical writers on the metropolitan dailies. Young Williams was born in Los Angeles and began his professional career about five years ago. He has played engagements at the Hollywood Barn, one of the swankier Hollywood niteries. Fanchon and Marco gave him a break in their musical comedy "Lucky Day" where he showed great promise as an up-and-coming juvenile. He came to New York following a successful engagement at Club Morocco in Chicago last year, and since being East has divided his time between the theatre and the night club. Libby Taylor, who graduated from being Mae West's maid to featured roles in films, is one of seven capable players you'll see in "Diamond Jim Brady." Given the chance, Libby might blossom into a real screen comedienne of the race, a place left vacant when Louise Beavers became the mother of "Imitation." Word from Chicago tells us that Shep Allen, genial manager of the Howard Theatre, this city, is enjoying a belated vacation to the fullest. A very tired man, by reason of his hard work at the T Street House, Allen was in need of a break of the monotony. He also informs us that despite the fact that he's resting he's looking over the Windy City's entertainment with the view of effecting some winter bookings for the local playhouse. You've heard of the letter-carrier taking a walk on his day off. "Hooray for Love," the R.K.O. musical starring Bill Robinson, Jeni LeGon, Fats Wailler, Gene Raymond and Ann Sothern will be the feature attraction at the Lincoln Theatre for one week beginning Friday. Bill Robinson, as a new colored star—a young lady who is making her first appearance in pictures. She is Jeni LeGon and is being hailed as one of the screen's most important dancing finds. The petite Miss LeGon teams with Bill Robinson to give the picture a fast Harlem number as part of a big time revue which forms an integral part of the story. Miss LeGon was "discovered" for screen audiences by Earl Dancer, colored impressario, when she appeared with his chair of 90 voice at the Ebell Club Theatre in Los Angeles. Miss LeGon was born in Chicago and made her dancing debut there at the Regal Theatre. After touring with the Whitman Sisters she went to Los Angeles to fill a night club engagement. Her role in "Hooroy for Love" is that of a performer in a Broadway show. Fats Waller, radio's latest sensation is also making his screen debut in "Hooroy for Love." Waller, with his orchestra, at one time held forth at Sebastian's Cotton Club. "Hooroy for Love" brings an entirely new and entertaining treatment of the theatrical story to the screen. Among the song hits heard are "I'm in Love All Over Again." "You're An Angel" and "I'm Living in a Great Big Way." Kay Francis George Brent Hag Francis George Brent "Stranded," starring Kay Francis in a dramatic story of the greatest crisis in a woman's life, will be shown at the Republic Theatre for an entire week beginning Friday. Others in the cast are George Brent, Frankie Darro, Patricia Ellis and Donald Woods. "Stranded" is stark drama. It centers about the life of a worker of the Travelers' Aid who thinks only in the terms of humanity. She is in love with a hard-boiled engineer who is building the largest bridge in the world, and who considers human beings only as cogs in an industrial machine. The clash of characters is the strongest point in the story, although the action at times is fast and as thrilling as the wildest melodrama.

Billie Burke Filmed entirely in the new Technicolor, "Becky Sharp" based on Thackeray's famous "Vanity Fair" will be the attraction at the Booker T. Theatre for a week beginning Friday. Produced in the new three-component Technicolor it is a revelation in beauty, fidelity to life and clarity. It is the first full-length dramatic motion picture done entirely in color, and revolutionizes the entire future course of the film industry because color perfection is now possible. Miriam Hopkins, Frances Dec, Cedric Hardwicke, Billie Burke and Alison Skipworth enact the roles in the drama of Thackeray's great story of a carefree charmer whose beauty blazed as the world about her flamed. It is the story of the private life of a woman who rose from the mud of a battlefield to the palace of a king.

Gilbert, was excellently presented by Summer School students of Shaw University on Thursday evening, July 11. The role of Pygmalion was played by R.

CAVANAUGH MOUTON The Fourth of July was a day of fun-making for old and young in the Capitol View community, as was manifested in the ready re- sponse to the field day activities.

Election Board Refuses to Register Father Divine's Followers NEW YORK. (CNA) -- Three hundred followers of Father Divine were refused registration at the Board of Elections here, last week, ostensibly for giving their spiritual names. The visit to the Board of Elections came as a result of a mass meeting on Sunday at Rockland Palace where Father Divine announced he was going to enter practical politics in order to "clean the city of sin and corruption." It is thought that fear of the Divine vote motivated the actions of the Democratic-party controlled election board. Harlem labor leaders stated Divine was acting unwisely by providing Democratic officials with a technical excuse and suggested that his followers register in the ordinary way. Even now we have a whole lot of people with more education than they can put to use. Below the Avenoo Reports are going the rounds that the Rehoboth Baptist Church, an old landmark of Southwest Washington, will be destroyed in the government's low-cost housing project which is soon to be launched in the vicinity of M and P, Half and Canal Streets. Latest information, however, asserts that the old edifice will stand but must undergo a remodeling, particularly the church frontage. The design of the church must be changed to meet the modernistic design of the proposed project. Curiosity-seekers were a dime a dozen at the funeral rites held for Sterling Calhoun at Friendship Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon. Various appeals to the public 'launched by sympathetic newspapers and organizations were enthusiastically responded to, and Calhoun's destitute survivors will be ably taken care of for some time. Five ministers eulogized Calhoun at the funeral services, but the words of the Rev. B. H. Whiting, the church pastor, who repeated the poem, "Abou Ben Adhema," substituting the hero's name, was outstanding. "And lo. Sterling Calhoun's name led all the rest," the pastor concluded the poem. Shades of E. Madison Hall It didn't happen on the boat, but it was the result of a little romantic venture which had its beginning on the new S.S. Southport during the moonlight frolic of the Y.M.S.C. last week. Without calling any names, it is suffice to say that the scrap involved a prominent member of a popular girls' club which has figured in the news of this column often and the wife of one of the section's outstanding athletes.

DISTRICT RELIEF CASES DECREASED BY 14 PER CENT Greater Demand for Workers in Private Industry Given As Cause By BERNARD BRAXTON Approximately 10,027 persons were working last month in the District Emergency Relief Administration's work-relief program which will soon be taken over and expanded by the new Works Progress Administration. In addition to the 10,027 cases on work relief, 11,409 cases were on direct relief, making a total of 17,702 cases aided in June, representing a reduction of 2,780, or 14 per cent, since May, the Public Assistance Division reported to Elwood Street, director of Public Welfare. The decline in the number of cases was caused by a greater demand for workers in private industry and by the increasing efficiency of the Public Assistance Division's case workers in ferreting out chiselers, Mr. Street stated. 72.4 Per Cent Colored Of the 17, 702 cases, 4,473 were unemployable and 12,616. or 72.4 per cent, were colored. A total of $184,994 was disbursed for direct relief and $313,016 for work relief. The average sum received per case during the month was $28.13, with an average of $16.21 for direct relief cases and $31.22 for those on work relief. Although the cost of work relief is comparatively high, large returns are gained when the unemployed are placed on socially useful projects, as is the case in the District. Many of the workers employed have been saved from the demoralizing influence of idleness. At the same time they have been given a chance to use their skill and training in order to adjust themselves better AGED MAN SPURNS $750,000 FORTUNE CALLS IT A TRICK OMAHA, Nebr. (ANP)—Just when friends of Daniel Young, alias Gabe McElroy, were persuaded that Young was prepared to admit that he is the real McElroy. Young crossed them up and stuck to the story that he is Daniel Young, not Gabe McElroy. In so doing, he turns his back on a fortune of $750,000 which, it is said, awaits him in Texas oil lands. Young, now 65 years of age, was questioned by the ANP correspondent. "Since everybody insists that you are Gabe McElroy and have conclusive proof, why don't you admit it and accept the money?" he was asked. "I do not want other people's money," he replied, "and I would not lose my identity for the money." "But you could lose your identity for $750,000, couldn't you?" "What would it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?" Young countered. He was formerly a local preacher. The fortune in oil money which awaits Young if he will admit that he is Gabe McElroy accrued from land left him by his dead parents. Forty years ago, after a shooting scrape with a mob of white men, Gabe McElroy fled from home and was never heard of again. However, the estate of his parents was left to him and his brothers and sisters. Since no proof of Gabe's death existed, his portion of the estate could not be disposed of without his consent. It is said that he fears the tales of fortune are all a trick to get him back to Texas to answer for the shooting forty years ago.

Miss.—The case of Ed Brown, Yank Ellington and Henry Shields, three Kemper County farm hands who were tortured and beaten into "confessing" the murder of a white tenant farmer, is ready to be filed in the U.S. Supreme Court, attorneys acting for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced Friday. Shields, Ellington and Brown were convicted last summer and their conviction appealed to the Mississippi Supreme Court last fall. By a majority opinion the court affirmed the conviction, but a strong dissenting opinion by two justices gave hope for success if an appeal were taken to the United States Supreme Court.

Fear Louis Victory Will Enrage Mussolini BOSTON, Mass. (ANP) -- Fear that Joe Louis's victory over Primo Carrera, the big Italian will incur the wrath of Premier Mussolini and bring about further reprisal against Ethiopia, was expressed here by Prof. Rayford W. Logan of Atlanta University, in an address before the fourth annual New England Institute of International Relations at Wellesley College. Decrying Mussolini's policy with regard to Ethiopia, the Southern professor added: "I am afraid that the defeat of Primo Carrera by Joe Louis will be interpreted as an additional insult to the Italian flag which will permit Mussolini to assert again the necessity for Italy to annihilate Abyssinia."

Mr. El- lison deciared, “calamities some- times must happen to thoroughly awaken the people to realize the community needs.” Urges Support Mr. Rhines urged the full ‘sup- port of the citizens inthe .Associ- ation’s fight for more recreational facilities, He cited the fact that there is not one swimming pool in Southwest, The Rev. J. M, McCoy, pastor of the Wesley Church, deciared Cal: houn’s thought of his own. three children probably prompted him to attempt to save the drowning chil- dren, The Rev, Guy Wills, pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church, where Mr. Calhoun was a member for four years, eulogized Calhoun’s heroism as “an example for a new period of living and loving.” Archibald S- Pinkett, secretary of the local branch of the N.A.A. C.P., “declared, “I. sympathize, ‘as you do, with the death of Ster‘ing Brown, but I glory in the fact thai he “gave up his life for somebody else.” Others who spoke were the Rev. S.

Persons from all walks of life and both races mingled in singing his prais- es when his funeral service was con- ducted Sunday at the Friendship Bap- tist Church. Best of all, Washington responded to the call when it was learned that Calhoun left a wife and three small children and that he had been out of work for some time. The Washington Tribune and two local dailies are sponsoring the collec- tion of a fund in order that Mrs. Cal- houn and her children might be pro- vided with a decent living in the years to come, since their breadwinner and support has been taken away while in the act of rendering a great service. The Tribune fund is steadily grow- ing. It’s not too late to contribute to this worthy cause. Of course, no amount of money can take the place of this father, but some small measure of gratitude can be shown by providing the widow and children of Calhoun with the necessities of life. If the better housing projects go through, as it seems they will, we are going to see what we shall see. See? aps We have peculiar interest in labor problems, but what does it amount to when we control so little of it? aera ‘ ‘A Prophet Eyes Washington ‘We have had the Henry Brothers, Bishop Grace, Father Divine and others. Now it appears that Washing- ton is to be inflicted with the latest in jazz evangelists when Prophet K. Cos- tonie comes to town following his record-breaking performances in Brooklyn. Costonie, like the late Evangelist Becton, carries his own jazz band, and his gang “makes plenty of whoopee” during the so-called services. Becton was shot to death in Philadelphia and police have never been able to find the perpetrator of the murder. Costonie is said to be a native of Washington, and two years ago he con- dueted a campaign in Baltimore urging Negroes to boycott white stores that refused to hire them. The courts put a stop to the campaign and Costonie mysteriously left town and was not heard from for several months until recently when he turned up in Brook- lyn as some sort of healer. It is under- stood that Costonie plans to come to Washington in the near future. Washington wants none of Costonie and his jazz sermons and faith healing. This city does not envy Brooklyn, and we hope he never gets any nearer the District line than that city. ‘Typographical errors make us say funny things, and silly things too, sometimes. he A real worthwhile citizen is one who labors to make his home town safe for everyone. ———— The Negro is the minority race, but majority in unskilled workers as well as unemployment. —_o—___ The more education some people get the further they get from the rest of us. > ee | Our Readers’ Opinions | $$ Readers of The Tribune are requested to send in Yetters expressing their opinion on subjects of peneral interest.

HD. WHALEY, 2 M Bt. NW. “oe le ° | | Kelly Miller Discusses Willed and Unwilled Factors in the Race Problem There is a certain school of philoso- phy which preaches that if the indi- vidual looks after himself, the race will look after itself. This is but a half-truth, but an important one. In my last release I spoke of the solution of the race problem by silence as contrasted to the solution by conscious effort and agita- tion. Since reconstruction times both of these types of effort have been in operation. Negro leaders through individual effort, and organiz- ed endeavor, have sought to direct the life of the race, but in spite of it all the present trend is retrograde and no satisfactory outcome is in sight. This is the conclusion arrived at by Dr, DuBois, who for forty years has been the foremost exponent for the doctrine of recti- fication of racial affairs by protest and agita- tion, ‘The National Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People for the last quarter of & century has typified the spirit of agita- tion and protest and has directed the organiz- ed effort of the race in this behalf, This mili- tant organization has undoubtedly accomplish ed sundry incidental results of considerable racial value and advantage; but comprehen- sively it has not been able to remove a single obstacle against which it directed its energies or yet to point out a plain path of procedure for the future. Ite energies have been direct- ed against jim crow cars, disfranchisement, separate schools, segregation, lynching, and various forms of industrial. and economic dis- crimination, And yet not a single jim crow ear has been taken from the tracks, disfranchisement, to ‘all intent and purpose, is as rampant as ever, segregation is all but complete, lynching pro- ceeds according to its own savage will, sepa- rate schools are extending Northward and Westward, legal and civil discrimination have become the established vogue of Federal and state government, organizations and individ- uals. In other words, the race problem in all its essentval features is unbudged I do not mean to say that conditions might not have been worse had not the N.A.A.C.P. and like organized and industrial effort exerted themselves during the past fifty years. ‘They have at least kept alive the spirit of proteat they have at least kept alive the spirit of protest: MACHINERY PLAYED BIG PART IN CHANGES In the meantime the racial life has been impelled, in the main, by unwilled forces. The influx of the Negro population into the North was unwilled and unpurposed by, any individ- ual or organization, it was the inevitable re- sult of uncontrolled conditions. The shifting of politica! power from South to North came as the incidental result of the shift of popula- tion. A million Negroes were thrust into Northern industry ag an incidental outcome of the World War, and they were thrust out a- gain as soon as the war was over. The development. of machinery, has produced an impasse in the industrial world. As a re- sult millions of workmen are thrown out of employment, incidentally the Negro becomes the chief victim of this displacement. The Negro’s place in the life of the nation is con- ditioned upon the relative scarcity of unskilled lator. Where this type of labor is abundant, the Negro is cheap, where it is searce he is lear: ‘The Negro is cheap today in both the North and the South because there js no scarcity of the type of labor which he is qualified to per- form. The invention of the cotton gin made the Negro indispensable in the cotton growing industry of the South, but the loom excluded him from the textile industry. The invention of a successful cotton picker would exclude him from the cotton growing industry and make him, as industrially unnecessary in. the South as he is in the North. All of this is the result of unwilled factors over which the Negro has no control. Race prejudice is the outstanding factor in the race problem in America, and indeed, in the world. We have not found any agency that can effectively grapple with this evil passion or seriously modify malignant manifestations, try ever so hard. Thus the Negro stands in the face of destiny like an infant erying in the night, and cry he must. ‘The theologians used to discuss the relative parts played by predestination and free will in human destiny: Although we have changed the terminology we are still confronted by these two factors of which social evolution is the joint outeome. We hear much in this day and time about social planning which must depend upon social foreknowledge and the pow- er to control foreseen factors, DUTY—NOT DESTINY GREATEST CONCERN No one is able to foresee or. foretell the desitny of the Negro in the Western world, and therefore all racial planning must be hap- hazard and uncertain. But if we cannot see the distant scene, we can at least guide and guard the immediate step. After all, human concern is with duty, not with destiny. Each individual should perform the duty which is vouchsafed to him without reference to its af- fect upon ultimate destiny. The prophet sits on the wall and sees the dust of danger on the far distant horizon and warns the multitude of the coming danger, but alas, the race has been woefulty lacking in prophets. The individuals have had to feel after the right way. if haply they may find it. There is a_ certain school of philosophy which preaches that if the individual looks after him- self, the race will look after itself; This is but a half-truth, but an important one, When Denmark Veasey and Nat Turner stir red up slave insurrections, Frederick Douglass fulminated against the iniquity of slavery. Booker T. Washington launched his industrial propagenda, W, E. B, DuBois wrote the “The Sovls of Black Folk,” Kelly Miller, called the Negro Sanhedrian, Marcus Garvey promoted his African empire—These all by conscious ef: fort, were essaying a solution of the race prob- em, But when Phyllis Wheatley and Paul Law- rence Dunbar courted the Muse, Benjamin Ban- neker and Ferdinand Wood invented mechani- cal contrivances, Honey Taxner_ painted pic tures, Ira Aldridge, Gilpin and Paul Robeson iisplayed histornic talent, Roland Heyes and Ethel Waters excelled in song, Jesse Owens cutruns the world, Joe Louis heads for king- ship of the prize ring—those were but per forming the immediate tasks which lay before them without conscions purpose of settling lege foo sive: of e@ett indicate the tela These tro types of indicat Hive effectiveness of willed and unwilled effort The reformer and the performer must both play their part- Both are efficient, neither is aufficient, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING JULY 20, 1935 Pickens’ Observations || Abyssinia’s Appeal to: ETHIOPIA AND CHINA. The brazen hypocrisy of western civilization is well iliustrated by the different reactions of the American government to Italy's attack on Ethiopia and Japan’s attack on Manchuria. When Japan moved into north China, our State Department did its best to rally the great white nations agafnst this yellow menace to white supremacy, and only failed because Eng land and France did not see what they had to gain by helping America to war on Japan. But when Ethiopia appeals to our government to apply the rights under the Briand-Kellogg pact and check Italy's far ‘ess justifiable at- tack on Abyssinia, the only reply from our high and mighty nation is to tell the hundreds ‘or s0 Americans jn Ethiopia to hurry and get out of Ethiopia, so as to clear the way for Italian guns and gunfire. We are not trying to rally anybody against Italy. We are al- lowing the action of Italy. Also it is continually reported that white nations bave been holding up arms and muni- tions shipments to the Ethiopians, for fear of incurring the animosity of the new Caesar of Rome. Nobody held up shipments to China of arms to be used against Japan. In fact, we Americans lent money to Chinese to finance their war on Japan, and insisted on our rights so todo. Americans were abetted and encour- aged to go to China and join the air forces and help to train and direct the Chinese mili tary activities. And yet there were far more reasons for dante going into Manchuria than even Mus- solini claims for Italy's going into east Africa: many of the natives of north China wanted the Japanese, and invited and aided the invaders and set up under Japanese protection a new State, Nobody. wants Italy in Abyssinia. The chief reason Mussolini has for his invasion of Ethiopia, is that he has the power, as he thinks; and expects to be able to get away with it,—iike any gangster with a gun. There is and always has been far more or- ganized mititary power in China than in Ethio- pia, and Japan had far more provocations of Chinese hostility than any nation has ever had against Ethiopia,—and yet the white nations, especially the United States, were hot to “‘pro- tect” China against the encroachment of a colored power: The only hope for aid to Ethiopia is that England must sce clearly enough that it will not be weil for the happiness of the British Empire to have Italy dominating all Ethiopia. The French, who are very much like all other selfish nations, have little to lose in east Afri ca: north Africa would be their fighting ground. They can easily feed Ethiopia to the Beast in order to keep Rome in line against Hitler. Some accident may throw all of their caleu- lations out of gear, and one of those accidents may be a stiffer resistance and a more effec- tiye defense on the part of the tribes people of Ethiopia than Italy has calculated on, Even English and Frenchmen would be giad_ if Ethiopia should successfully defend itself, but none of them see any gain in helping’ the biacks,—exeept perhaps the British,—and less directly the Germans. Meanwhile, here are ‘black people about to be forced to choose death to siavery at the hands of a big “Chris tian” hypocrite who pretends to be about to “break up slavery.” Other Papers Say OXLEY SEES HOPE FOR RACE; MUST AGITATE ee eee eee ee ee “Now when the disinherited are first coming into their own in the United States is the time for the Negro to bestir himself in his own be- half, It is now when there are eighteen mil- lion whites on retief along with three million Negroes that the Negro and the white man = feel a common economic bond df sym- pathy These sentences express the keynote of ‘the speech of Lieut. Lawrence A. Oxley, Chief, Division of Negro Labor, United States De ‘partment of Labor, given at Hampton Insti: “tute, Hampton, Virginia on Monday. Mr. Oxley traced the position of the Negro in America from the first slave ship to the present day, showing that it has been one which has become gradually better. But in spite of this progress of the Negro, Mr, Oxley felt that they were racial barriers and social barriers which were insurmountable until the economic crisis had forced white men into un: derprivileged positions and thus developed a common sympathy among the under privileged, and a realization among all society of a re- ‘sponsibility for the disinherited. It is true, Mr. Oxley said, that the Negro has suffered the brunt of the depression: As in the case of most minority groups, he has been the first to lose his job, and has suffered increasing racial displacement. But at least Mr. Oxley feels that a new racial understand ing has been reached and the way cleared for advancement for the Negro in the future. “Alveady new opportunities appear upon the scene for all underprivileged groups. The ad- ministration has declared the fundamental right of all men, black and white to work, an¢ has set aside $4,880,000 for this purpose.’ Be: fore the depression, before the present admin. istration, the American social mind was in_n¢ way cognizant of the necessity of maintaining the morale of the Negro in such a manner,’ Mr, Oxley said. The speaker closed by men: tioning the representation of the Negro in the present administration and of the benefits tc be derived from the new Works Administration and the National Youth Administration if the Negro wili bestir himself, will agitate in his own behalf.

Members of Washington's social set took a holiday—donned either the ever-comfortable shorts with the cool shirt effect, the sun-tan back adjustable slip-on or the honest-to-goodness real bathing suit and started in search of a cool shot. This accounts for the nonchalant attitudes of those seen at the beaches or at the various swimming pools throughout the city, the picnic grounds in Rock Creek Park or in the many little hide-outs in the cool recreation rooms down below the earth's surface where the temperature averages 10 degrees below that of the first floor. "Ease and comfort"—that was the main consideration. Last week, the crowd present at Griffith Stadium to witness the well-played game between the Pittsburgh Crawfords and the Homestead Grays had many misgivings when the "ump" called the game on account of rain. Many exhibitions of fine baseball playing had been given by both teams. Plays had been made equal, if not superior, to those of the major league baseball teams which drew baseball enthusiasts to their feet—to end in the sixth inning. "Wake up, Washington!" Do you know that in other cities these kinds of baseball games are anxiously awaited by the social, elite and are patronized in large numbers? Our city is first in many things, but far behind in appreciation of good clean sports. The other race has ladies' day for its baseball fans—and how they turn out; so much so that they crowd out the men. It would be very gratifying to see our women make this sport a "boondoggling" experiment and patronize the efforts of the District Athletic Association, with W.

THE SPICY TANG CHERRIES IN- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING JULY 20.1935 SOCIETY NOTES By CAPITOLA Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell delivered the principal address at a mass meeting held at the First Baptist Church, in Newport News, Virginia, last Friday night. The meeting was sponsored by the Negro Democratic Club of the city, of which Hugh T. Clark is president. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Campbell and family motored to Luray Carverns, by way of the Sky Line Drive, over the past week-end. They were accompanied on the trip by Miss Corinne A. Quivers and Miss Anna S. Johnson. Jerry Adams, of the Armstsoong High School, is attending the Harvard University summer school, in Massachusetts for six weeks. Miss Bertha McNeill and Miss Violet Warfield sailed last week for a vacation in Europe. Mrs. Louise Howard Fack, and her sister, Miss Juanita Howard, are spending their vacation in the Pacific northwest and Alaska. They are being accompanied by their sister, Mrs. Ruth H. Beckam, of Chicago, and Mrs. Bertha H. Collins, of California. Miss Angelina Grimke of New York and Washington is spending the summer at Cohasset, Mass., as the guest of Mrs. L. L. Feurta-do. Mrs. Emmett J. Scott was the guest of Mrs. John Barkley, in Boston, Mass., for six weeks. Miss Eillen Criclowl, of Cambridge, Mass., is vacationing in the Capital. Mrs. Addie McCoy, of Tampa, Florida, is spending a vacation of three months with relatives and friends, in Washington, and West Virginia. LeRoy Millendern of St. Louis, has arrived in the city to accept a position in the A. A. A. Division resettlement.

PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men The last pretty syllable of the "I do" act had been said and the hundreds of eager guests were crowding about to greet the sweet June bride. Not wishing to push her way through that throng of well-wishers, Mrs. Goodloe of Nineteenth and S Streets, stood aside in the hallway (a vision in blue chiffon with wide-brimmed hat bound round the crown with cleverly twisted pink and blue velvet ribbon). And as soon as some of us saw her we very firmly decided that the blue-gowned Mrs. Goodloe was lovely enough to look at while we stood around awaiting a bigger glimpse of the bride. Mrs. Bertha Chase sittting in her doorway (Triangle Print Shop) when the day's printing was done. (Probably thinking of the next bridge prize she'll will.) Santa Claus must have misplaced his calendar for he called on a bride and groom right in the middle of June and left a cunning little silver-sprinkled tree that was all dressed up with cigarettes, cigars and silken hose and handkerchiefs. 'Twas a wedding gift of course and the jolly young St. Nick who devised the pretty trick was none other than Miss Clyde Johnson of the Friendly Flower Shop. Mrs. Scott, the delightful little lady who numbers Judge Scott among her sons was the guest of honor at a dinner the other day. Mrs. S. G. Nicholas (assisted by her charming daughter, Inez, editor of the Negro Woman's World) was the hostess. Mrs. Ruth Davis, a smart study in blue and white, seeing a movie with pretty Gloria Osborne (her daughter) for company. The half dozen ca. loads of Washingtonians who went to Durham, N. C., for the Harold Whitted-Berms Allen nuptials are still talking about the pretty picture Miss Allen made in her pink wedding gown. And speaking of the little North Carolina bride reminds us that her home on Fairmont Street is so full of wedding gifts that—well, Washington friends, who've been calling on the couple have had to pick their way through lanes of linen, rows of lamps; find a path around chests piled high with silver and myriads of miscellaneous tokens that spell joy to a happy bride. Saturday evening you'll probably see a lot of cars racing back to D. C. over the Colesville Pike. They won't be trying to break any records though. They'll be rushing some of the members of the New Orleans University Club (on an outing at Brinklow Inn) to the Walter Tate's lawn fete in Brookland. Some lucky feminine members of the handsome Recorder of Andrews, of the Dunbar Garden Apartments, in New York City, were: Mrs. W. S. French, Miss Jeannette Carter, Mrs. Pearl Flipper and W. E. Taylor. Miss Marie Howard of New York City is spending her vaca- tion in the city as the guest of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Howard, of Edillcott Street, Northwest. Mrs. Isabella Gilbert is spend- ing the summer in New York City with her daughter, Mrs. Ruby Upton. The Rev. W. H. Jernagin and his family are vacationing in Atlantic City at the home of Mrs. Ivy Murray. They were accom- pained to the shore by Mrs. Hattie Saunders, of Memphis, Tenn. Mr. and Mrs. John Seldon and Mrs. Miriam Wormley Lewis were recent guests of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Scott, in Jersey City, New Jersey. Dr. and Mrs. Elmer Elmer Edwards are visiting in Jersey City as the guests of their relatives. Dr. Lena Edwards and Keith Madison. Sergeant-Major Monroe S. Cavier of the Ninth U. S. Cavalry, at Fort Riley, Kansas, and his family are visiting in Washington. He is on his vacation leave of absence from the U. S. army. Claude Green of Richmond, Virginia, is spending the summer with his sister, Mrs. Burnice Green Carroll. Mrs. Alberta Ford, of Columbia, South Carolina, has returned home from a two-months vacation in Washington and Baltimore. Mr. and Mrs. J. Alonzo Beverly accompanied by their niece, Miss Corinne A. Quivers, spent the past week-end at their summer home, at Chapel Hill, Maryland. Mr. and Mrs. Herman H. Brown have as their guest John Robinson, of Cleveland, Ohio. John Rout, of the School of Medicine of Howard University, is spending the vacation with his parents in Los Angeles, California. Deeds (Dr. Thompkins) is getting ready to receive a pretty token. (Saw the Dr. Monday afternoon about to buy a sweet little gift). Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Gordon of Rhode Island Avenue and Dr. and Mrs. Simmons of S Street. are very busy these days finding out how fast their new cars can go. Fred Hundley, one of Washington's popular new teachers (now in school at Syracuse) can don a chef's cap and coat an minute in the day and make you forget all about the pies and cakes your ma used to make. He baked some fancy cakes for his mother's Fourth of July party and they looked so enticing some of the guests gabbled them up before the rest of the sweets were brought in. If all of us have relatives at the Zoo (as an eminent scientist claims) and Mrs. J. A. L., Mrs. L. L., Mrs. M. F., Mrs. A. R., Mrs. J. J, and her daughter (who were bound for a picnic at the Zoo) had agreed to meet at their cousin's house (the monkeys, of course) a lot of wild goose chasing might have been saved and one half of the party might have found the other half before the evening was over. Mrs. Josephine Bentley of Howard Manor, wore the loveliest dress the other night. It wasn't organdie, it wasn't net, but something sort of in-between. It was white (blue-dotted) and boasted the cutest cape you ever saw. Mrs. Bentley, the Dunar history teacher, was at a party. She went early (bless her) and not only that, when the hostess, somehow discovered that her guest could play the piano. Mrs. Bentley didn't say "No" but carried her tired host, so off to the "Isle of Capri" and other enchanted lands with her soft piano-playing. Attorney Ambrose Shief really meant to be back in town in time for the lawyers' outing at Colton. But he and the Mrs. went to Millsboro to spend the Fourth of July. And the minute the Shiefs surveyed that town, they forgot all about the Capital. Even its monuments, its Rock Creek Park, its pretty, tree-fringed speedway were but the dimmest memories. For Mr. Shief especially the calendar's leaves turned quickly back and the lawyer found himself near the Gulf of Mexico, living again his boyhood days. He caught all the fish in the Dela ware waters (that is if you let him tell it). Then he took the nets the natives provided and scooped up crabs by the dozen. And when the hostess deviled the crabs (or fried 'em when their shells were soft) and set them before the Shiefs there was no way in the world to make 'em remember "Home. Sweet Home."

D. Patterson, president. This is two less than the number six for the first six months of 1944 and four less than the number eight for the first six months of 1933. All of the persons lynched were Negroes. The offenses charged were: wounding man in altercation, 1; rape, 1; murder, 2. The states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Louisiana, 2. and Mississippi, 2. EVICT WHITE TENANT FOR PROTESTING UMCRW NLW YORK (CAN)—For protesting against the attempted eviction of James Lawler, Mr. Williams white, and his family were opened from their home at 436 E. 16th Street. They had refused to pay unless the dispossess Lawler he withdrawn. Organizations and individuals are asked to send protest to the landlord, Mr. Schnewee, white at 436 E 16th Street. NEGROES ARE FUNNY (Continued from page 1) and glorified doing is the only thing that would really keep the Anglo-Saxon awake at night It is definitely up to the Negro schools to produce some doers. Negroes are funny. They like to beat white folks—doing nothing. Just now they are the happiest people in the world—hungry, jobless, crowded into blind alleys, but wildly happy because Joe Louis beat Primo Carniera in New York; Eulace Peacock outsprinted Jesse Owens in California; Daddy Grace won his case and didn't have to give up part of his chuck collection for income tax. The country is resounding with their hilarity. They are laughing, clapping, betting, bragging and strutting. Here in Washington, Negroes have decided to outdo the white folks—having a funeral. Sterling Calhoun lost his life in an effort to save two little white children. Calhoun is a hero. He possessed the qualities of a truly great soul. Calhoun loved all people regardless of race. There are those who appreciate fine character qualities in men. Race does not count. The Daily. News stepped right up and paid tribute to this dauntless hero of 1935. Calhoun was a poor man, with a family and without a job. He lost his job under the "new deal." but thank God, he did not lose his manhood. He gave his life for white children and members of the white race were not slow in expressing their appreciation We hope however that this is not an emotion of the moment, but that the widow and three little children will be permanently provided for—not in too much luxury now and not enough for the future. They need an opportunity for decent living and proper education. Anything less is unworthy of so noble deed and so great a sacrifice; for greater; love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for another. But the funny thing about this Sterling Calhoun sacrifice is that Negroes are determined to give him a big funeral. Page Delilah in "Imitation of Life" hath Negroes are funny. Some American Negroes with a little spark of patriotism left over from their fight to make the world safe for Democracy, are offering Emperor Haile Selassie their service to go over and join the Abyssinian army against Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy. They know they are not going, but Negroes like to show off and that is why they would take so well in a real show. Negroes have enough to fight about on this side of the ocean. While Italy is bent on taking land from Abyssinia, there are many Americans who are just as bent on taking something more important than land from the American Negroes. They are determined to take away their inalienable rights, their constitutional vestments and their spirit of hope. It is just as essential that Negroes fight to be men in America as it is that they fight with their kindred, to hold land in Africa. The truth of the matter is that if the Negroes were sincerely interested in Africa and had shown it in more practical way. Liberia would be a rock in a weary land and a shelter in the time of the storm that is sure to break over that continent. American Negroes have shown very little interest in Africa in times of peace, when agencies and boards have been challenging them to service, and this offer on the part of a few Negroes is either a good joke or an insincere or thoughtless jest. American Negroes have never fought their own battles and they are not thinking about fighting for Africans. Negroes get a real kick out of talking big. They are funny.

Franklin Wilson filed an affidavit late last week informing the justices of equity division of the District Supreme Court that Trevianion (Fat) Guy had refused to contest the action for divorce filed by his wife, Peggy Williston Guy. Guy, according to Attorney Wilson, has insisted that he does not intend to answer his wife's charges of cruelty, the basis of her request for limited divorce. Numerous attempts have been made by him to have his client prepare his version of the differences between Mrs. Guy and him, Attorney Wilson told the court.

BILL TO AID U.S. CHARWOMEN PASS HOUSE COMMITTEE Rep. McCormack's Plan Will Give Women Civil Service Status A bill granting charwomen throughout the country equal civil service rights, introduced by Representative McCormack, Democrat, of Massachusetts, was reported favorably by a unanimous vote of the House Civil Service Committee, early this week. Charwomen who secure their jobs through civil service are bound by certain rules and particular stipulations which set them up in a class by themselves. A large percentage of the Government charwomen are colored. The general run of civil service workers receive compensation for holidays when they are not required to work, but the charwomen, who also do not work on a holiday, get no pay for that idle day. Massachusetts Bill Representative McCormack successfully put a bill to benefit the overlooked employees through the Massachusetts Legislature long ago. Since coming to Congress in 1928, he has worked on a bill for the country particularly the Government charwomen. 40 GIRLS LEAVE FOR CAMP SCOTT 40 GIRLS LEAVE FOR CAMP SCOTT Forty bright-eyed girls left for Camp Clarissz Scott on the first trip, last week.
