CRAMER CALLED 'HATED OFFICIAL' Residents Seek Ban on Cotton Club 8 NEW SUITS BLOCK SLUM PROJECT Original Demurrer of Miss Keyes Withdrawn; Owners Claim Not a Public Use Less than 10 hours after Miss Minnie Keyes, white, 714 Seventh Street, Southwest, had withdrawn her suit which threatened to block the PWA slum clearance project in Southwest Washington, eight other property owners in that section filed legal objections to the project. Miss Keyes, the first to file objections in court to the condemnation of property in her area, withdrew her demurrer, Friday, after she had reputedly been paid the price she set for 11 houses she owned in the 13-acre tract slated for renovation by Secretary Ickes. Claim Wrongful Use Her action virtually cleared the way for resumption of the Federal low-cost housing project in the section until the eight new property owners filed similar suits in the District Supreme Court. Each of the filers, like Miss Keyes, claim their property is not being taken for a public use and that condemnation proceedings, therefore, are illegal. In an answer to Miss Keyes' suit, last week, Secretary Ickes asked the court to rule on the issue. Those filing demurriers were: M. G. Murr, Thomas P. Brown, Sarah Zanoff, Warfield King, Israel Diamond, Jesse L. Heiskell, Alexander Muncaster and Allen W. Kelley, all white. The addressse of their properties were not given. P Street Shanties Miss Keyes' property is a row of old shanties at 181-141 P Street. 3-19 Pierce Court and 1259 and 1256 Half Street, Southwest. According to reports she will receive $14,600 for the group. Her rentals now total $1,100 annually. The houses, a group of old shanties, are without modern conveniences. No gas light, no electricity and no modern heating system is in any of the houses. Water must be drawn from an outside pump.

Butler, a bellman at the Cairn Hotel, Sixteenth and Q Streets Northwest, where the casualty occurred, was wrestling with Walker, bell captain.

According to testimony at the coroner's inquest Tuesday, the boys were in the habit of rowing and swimming their leisure time to develop their bodies. This wrestling match which was one of many such frequent bouts was the outgrowth of a friendly rivalry between them to determine who was the stronger. Lawrence Green, another Cairo bell hop, 1004 Twenty-fifth Street, Northwest, and Walker rushed Butler to Emergency Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, upon arrival.

CHRISTIAN "WE CHOOSE CHRIST" ENDEAVOR A COLUMN FOR YOUNG PEOPLE By CLARENCE REED August 4 Topic for Young People. THINGS JESUS WAS SURE OF. Matt. 6:25-34; 10:29-31; John 8:29. Worship Service. Instrumental: Prelude: "O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go." Hymn: "Sweeter as the Years Go By." Prayer: "Lord, take my lips and speak through them; Take my mind and think through it; Take my heart and set it on fire. Amen." W. H. Aitkin. Scripture: Matt. 6:25-34; 10: 29-31. John 8:29. Hymn: "We May Not Climb the Heavenly Steeps." Speaker: "Things Jesus was sure of." Things I Am Sure About Jesus ...a consecration service. Hymn: "I Love Him." Benediction: Repeat chorus of "I Love Him" with the words. "I'll serve Him I'll serve Him. Because He first loved me. And purchased my salvation On Calvary's tree." Let's Talk It Over (Discussion Help) Jesus was sure of God...and of His own mission. Think what this means. We are probably less secure today in material things than at any time since the Pilgrims landed one winter's day, looking for refuge on a bleak New England shore. Our jobs are uncertain. The very value of the money we do receive fluctuates from law to law. There is uneasiness in government, in the home...even in the church. But Jesus pointed out that uncertainty about material things should not worry a Christian. He spoke of "the lilies of the field," those gorgeous red lilies of Palestine. "The birds of the air". If your Heavenly Father cares for them, will He forget you? Jesus was sure of no roof over His head during all His active ministry...but He was sure of His job. You can always be sure of your job if you are doing something, not for pay, but for someone else. Unselfish work always pays dividends...even during "bank holidays." "A man's religion must be measured by what it has enabled him to do!" So says Dr. Grenfel after 40 years in Labrador. Here is someone else who has learned something about values. His faith and service have turned an icy, desolate countryside into a warm-hearted, Christian community where illness no longer means death. Do you suppose he would change that pay for a million dollars? If you invest your life as Jesus did, you can be sure of a worthwhile job, too. Being sure of God. Jesus was sure of one supreme thing...God was His loving Father. Most of the unhappiness in the world comes from worry, from having no one to depend upon. That is why it is often so difficult to take a group of foreigners out of the slums and put them into suburban homes...they are afraid of being alone with no one who talks their language. But God the Heavenly Father talks the language of all men. His words are engraven upon the earliest mind. Men have puzzled about God ever since the first man rose up and looked about for the One who had made him. And today, thousands of years later, millions of men are still unhappy and uncertain about their relation to the Creator. But Jesus cuts cleanly across all this Gordian knot of conjecture by saying simply, "My Father who is in Heaven." "My Father"...in those two words, He puts all the love of home, the power of the creator, and the hope of the world. The Father will not desert His Son. A personal sense of the companionship of God is the birthright of every Christian. Without it the Christian is like an electric light bulb without any current...his power is turned off. With it, he is the light of the world. Every man's life a plan of God. God has a plan for your life. Jesus said so. But it is up to you whether you choose to realize that perfect plan or not. "No man takes my life away from me. I lay down because I choose to," said Jesus. He chose to make the most of His life by surrendering it to God's will. He might have remained the peasant carpenter of Nazareth... He became the Saviour of the world. Are you willing for God to plan your life? Really willing? How many of us bungle God's plan for our lives by insisting upon emphasizing motives that Jesus says do not matter? By snatching at money first, and service afterwards, by being afraid to surrender wholly. Yet at any time God can take our small beginnings and turn them into something significant and beautiful. Jesus was sure of the future. "Let not your hearts be troubled ...in my Father's house are many mansions..." Jesus is the only one who has been on the other side of the grave...who has come back from the future! There is no testimony to believe in but His. Jesus was sure of the triumph of good. Jesus never took an existing evil for granted. He fought to change the evil for good. "He threw himself into the cause of the future." The church of His day was wrapped in stifling bonds of meaningless ceremonial. Jesus ripped those bonds apart with cutting words. He set up instead the church of the spirit. There were robbers, even in the temple. Jesus drove them out with a whip. Too many people today take economic evils for granted. The slums are here. Isn't it too bad? But there always have been slums. "Slavery never can be banished...it is too deeply rooted in our economic system. We have to have slaves to run the plantations," aaid people less than a hundred years ago. But slavery was banished! "War can never be done away with...to fight is inherent in human nature!" We hear those words today. But the forward looking man seizes the weapon of moral force to use instead of guns. He sees no reason why we have to murder by the wholesale. Wars will be banished in the end. For the Christian there is no backward look. Forward and upward, is his slogan. He is following a Man Who Knows. Things I am sure of about Jesus...a Consecration Service. Let everyone join in this service by giving in a few sentences, not the things he has heard about Jesus, but the things he knows. We are living in a scientific age...only facts are admissible evidence. What do you know about Jesus? At the close of these remarks, let the leader read the consecration prayer. (Or pray in his own words.) "Laid on Thine altar, O my Lord Divine. Accept this gift today, for Jesus' sake: I have no jewels to adorn Thy shrine, No far-famed sacrifice to make; But here within my trembling hand I bring This will of mine...a thing that seemeth small, But Thou alone, O Lord, canst understand How when I yield Thee this, I yield Thee all." Amen- Close by singing, "I Love Him" as indicated in the Worship Service. Folks 'n' Facts Thank you, Fellow Endeavorers, for all of those kind words. I assure, you that if you enjoy reading this, as much as I enjoy writing this column, we are going to get along fine. Plans are being formulated by a committee from the executive office of the Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union to give our president, James Brown, a grand reception on his return from the World C. E. Convention which opens in Budapest, Hungary, August 2. Wouldn't it be great if the thousands of Endeavorers here in Washington would be present at such a reception to greet our distinguished president? The Christian Endeavor Society of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church are doing smoe very good social work. The other societies might do likewise. Mrs. Lily Meckins is the Nineteenth Street leader. I saw Fred Ball, of First Baptist (Geogetown) Church hurrying along the avenue the other day. We need more energetic presidents like Fred Ball.

SAY'S ROOSEVELT CATERS TO PSALM SINGING NEGROES Perry W. Howard Claims President Has Failed American People In a letter to the chairman and members of the Republican National Committee, Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman of Mississippi, stated that Negroes deserted the party because they thought they were not wanted. Mr. Howard also said that President Roosevelt has appointed only Negroes of the Psalm-singing and Rosenwald workers variety. His letter follows: Inasmuch as I am the only committee member ascii I may I be pardoned if I courteously suggest that the time is rapidly approaching when you will begin to consider the selecting of a Republican presidential nominee to be elected in 1936. That we can win next year with a strong The suggestion that I wish to make is that in choosing your standard bearer that you will kindly keep the colored electorate in mind. Through the good offices of the Elks—the world's largest colored organization—we have been able to keep four months to visit fourteen voting states and about thirty cities in most of which I spoke and held conferences and as the result of which I am convinced that our voters in a large measure left the Republican party because they thought that they were not wanted or that some limitations were placed on their promotion; that they would gladly come back to the party when this impression is removed; and that one of the best ways in which to remove this impression is by naming a candidate whose estimate of a citizen is not his color but his character and now just as we predicted Mr. Roosevelt has not only failed the country but has failed the Negro in that he has done nothing that he promised to do. This is felt very keenly by the colored leaders who supported him vigorously and these were disappointed by the few appointments and the few appointments of colored people made by the President have been largely some of the Psalms-singing Rosenwald workers.

No institution of its kind has ever served a more useful purpose, or filled a greater need, or mide 4 more substantial contribution to the common good in so short a period of time and with such limited funds, than has the Legal Department of How- ard University. The Howard Law School first opened its doors to legal-minded students on January 6, 1869, with an enrollment of six students. In 1867, two yetrs prior to the open- ing of the Legel Department, Howard University had been or- ganized as 4 Normal School for the tr#ining of preachers and teachers. The primary purpose behind the opening of the univer- sity was the preparation of the freedom for social adjustment. For the preservation of their health. Freedmen's Hospital came inio being. Then, to prepare members of the race to preserve, defend and protect their own rights, liberty and property, and to direct their own civie end poli- tical lives, legal training was necestary. To fill this need, How- ard Law School was organized. Has Had Many Homes Since its origin, the Law De- partment of Howard University has been housed in various places in the City of Washington. The Law School was opened in a. few rooms on the second floor of the Main Building on the University campus. When the convenience of the Faculty required & location nearer the courts. it was moved to 506 Fifth Street, Northwest. ‘This was the home of General MARRIED BY COURT Pe te to Police Court halted its routine rind of meting out punishment, Tuesday morning tong enough for Judge Robert Mattingly to join a couple in wedlock.

Until 1930, either all ¢- most of the members of the various faculties of Howard Law School were white. Excepting John M, Langston, Charles H. Houston and the present Acting Dean, all of its ten Deins were white. And, prior to the World War, all of the teachors, with about three notable exceptions, were white. The ex- ceptions were Mr. Langston and Professors Hart and William A. Richards. Deans Leighton, Riek urdson, and Booth, and Professors Hart and Richards left lesting im- prints in the memories of Howard men all over the country. Where- ever graduates of Howard are found, they speak of these five gentlemen with respect and ad- mirgtion, Dean Richardson was & member of the faculty for 27 years; Prof Richards, for 38 years; and Dean Leighton ‘for 41 years, Deans Richardson and Leighton were pioneer leaders in the esteb- lishment and development of the legal department at Howard Uni- versity, Work Standardized The movement to standardize the work at the Howard Law School and elevate standards and standing of the school began in 1923, "In that year, ® committee of three was named to study the curricula of other Law Schools, with the view to revising the cur- ricuim at Howard. Judge Cobb is the only member of the present faculty who served on that com- mittee. As a result of the study made by that committee, the course of study at Howard wa. extended to three years and the case system of instruction was introduced. Un- til 1928, Howard Law School had always been a part time evening school. All of its teachers were employed on a part time basis and its students were required to de- vote only part of their time to Law School work.

What I will do with Levinsky is this: every time he hits me I will pay him $4 cash money; every time I hit him he can settle for $2 cash money. That way a man might really make some money out of the fight." The cracking of Louis' previously impenetrable mask of indifference—a poker face that has become world-famous in the short space of a few months—was bound to come, according to fight men who have had previous experience with the Kingfish. Probably no fighter in recent history, they assert, has had the native ability the Kingfish has shown to annoy his opponents by his public statements. Regarded when the match was made as not an especially tough opponent for Louis, Levinsky has been grazing in confidence as he loses in weight.

The core was 7-6. Both teams were on edge throughout the fray, with Frazier and Day, opposing pitchers, showing exceptionally good form. Both were kept in hot water most of the contest, but they weathered the storm. Manager Lefty Whitlock led the way to Georgetown batters, getting four hits in seven times at bat. Sheppard, visiting shorstop, went him one better, connecting for the same number of bingles in six times at the plate. Georgetown Stubborn The locals got off to a good start, getting a two-run lead. This was shut off in the fourth when the invaders garnered a pair of tallies. A marker was chalked up in each the fourth and fifth frames to put Georgetown in the van again. A run in the visitors' eighth followed by two more in the ninth put the Giants in front, but Georgetown pulled itself together and cashed in with the tying count with two men out. Again in the twelfth the visitors went into the van by virtue of a single marker, but again the locals retaliated with a deadlocking score. There was no more scoring until the fourteenth.

"Louis cannot take a good punch from even ordinary fighters, so what is he going to do when the Kingfish lays that big right hand against his kisser?" May Have Support A recent development in the situation is that Levinsky may have considerable backing among the fight-wise when he steps out to do battle. Those who have observed him stepping through his training chores at Round Lake have been smazed both at the seriousness of purpose which he has achieved, and the excellent condition into which he has been groomed by his hard-boiled trainer, Izzy Kline. For some of his fights Levinsky has been trained. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING AUGUST 3. 1985 LeDROIT TIGERS DROP PAIR TO NEWPORT NEWS Tidewater Giants Cop Both Ends of Double-Header With D.C. Outfit NEWPORT NEWS, Va.—Robert Sayles's Tidewater Giants took both games of a doubleheader here last Saturday from the LeDroit Tigers of Washington, D.C. before one of the largest crowds of the season by the score of 5-1, and 10-9. Friday's game was rained out. Roy Powell, big right hander of the Tigers, was credited with both losses. After yielding to the Giants in the first game, 5-1, allowing but eight scattered hits and fanning six, he was called in the third frame of the second game to relieve Henderson, but was unable to hold the free-hitting Giants who pummelled him for eight hits during the seven innings he remained on the mound. Powell Stars Powell was extremely brilliant in fielding and base running. He handled 13 assists without a bobble and stole three bases, pilfering the home sack in the seventh inning of the second game. Hicks. Tigers center fielder connected for a homer in the second inning of the nightcap scoring. Johnson and Henderson ahead of him. Dishman, Giants' right field, clotted homers in the fifth and sixth, for his 11th and 12th of the season. First Game LeDROIT TIGERS NEWPORT NEWS ab. r. bh hick. f. Armstrong.sn. Moten. f. JSmith.3b.

Weight Down The Kingfish stopped on the scales at his camp the other afternoon and weighed exactly 198. This is only a pound or two over the figure at which he expects to climb through the ropes, and in consequence the weight problems which are usually the bane of his training sieges will worry him not at all this time. He can devote the time remaining before the battle to toughening himself up. Louis, too, is getting close to his best weight of 196 pounds. He took a day off last Tuesday, flew to Cleveland, and returned on Wednesday to box in the afternoon.

To accommodate those seeking rest and recuperation, Jules Blersoe has added another cottage to his "Catskill Mountain Haven." Roxbury, N.Y., where two years ago he retired to regain his health after an attack of laryngitis. Last year, according to reports, more than two hundred visited the "haven," officially designated as Jessie Manna Farms. Cleo Brown recently recorded two numbers for Decca. They are "Boogie Woogie" and "Pelican Stomp," an original number. In the former, she features her pianistic vocalizing, accompanied by a bass guitar and drums, and the latter, being self-composed, is done as a piano solo. Inside dope reveals that judging by some inquiries from the London and Paris agents, that she is attracting foreign bookers' interest-Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Ted Lewis, Boswell Sisters, Bing Crosby, Mills Brothers and Ruth Etting are but a few who've become valuable around the globe for foreign bookings on the strength of their waxing. Presented in an evening of sophisticated songs, Nora Holt, celebrated entertainer, appeared as gust artist in the Waltroy's Gallery, a little theatre patronized exclusively by the artist colony of Carmel, Cal., last week-end.

(ANP) — Plans for an exhibit of art, mechanical and educational products developed by the race in the last 70 years, are being made by the Rev. W. D. Carter, presi- YOUR STA and YOU By ABBE' WALL Youngest Mentalist on the Ameri E. H.—I have been spending the winter with my people and I want to know when will my husband send for me to come home? Ans.: Why don't you surprise your husband and go home without him knowing it? Your place is with him regardless of how little he has to share with you and unless you stay and help him fight the game of life you may lose him. He has been very lonely since you left and he needs your help. A. H.—Please tell me what to do? My boy friend won't allow me to see him and I am worried to death about him for I love him devotedly. Ans.: You have taken _hi_ young man far too seriously. He did not intend for you to _fill_ in love with him but merely wanted to be friends with you. You have been good friends for _five_ years and unless you stop telling him how you fell for him he will stop coming around all together. Make dates with others if you want him to come back. L. D. C.—What happened to the three coats that were taken a few weeks ago? Ans.: They were taken out of your car by a young man who watched you and your friend leave your car parked and he knew that you would be gone for a couple of hours. When you locked your machine you failed to make the lock catch thoroughly on one of doors and it was easily opened. W. R. S.—If I bring suit against the party that I have in mind will I realize anything from it? Ans.: I am afraid that it will be useless for you to gain anything from the dentist that broke your tooth for it was very accidental and all that you may expect from him is to have him fix it as best he can. You should have the tooth repaired as soon as possible or before it begins decaying. D. W. D.—I want to know if it would be a good idea for me to accept the job that this fellow has offered me? Ans.: Yes. it would be a very nice position for you. The reason he came to your home and offered you the job was because you were referred to him by a friend of yours. Working in a drug store selling cosmetics is a very attractive position for a young lady. B. E. H.—Why does my baby fret and turn when she is sleeping? What should I do? Ans.: Carry this child to a doctor at once. The sores in her face and body are the cause of her being so fretful and it is especially bad in the summer time. The sores will continue to spread unless they are healed. E. M. W.—Why does my husband act the way that he does? He goes with other women but he won't let me go with other boys. Ans.: Both you and your husband married entirely too young.

Have a good talk with him and explain that you will not tolerate his running around and he will either have to stop his chesting or else leave you. He will cease his wild gose chase. L. P.—Tell me please why the people around me continue to make remarks about me and particularly a certain lady? I have never harmed her. Ans.: Several months ago when you were involved in a certain incident that happened in your city people began to talk about you and have continued to do so—however, you were innocent. The young lady in question also had her name involved in the same incident and she thinks it best to talk about the matter so that people will not believe that she was guilty. The whole thing will blow over. E. I. G.—Please give me some advice. What is the best thing for poor me to do? I want to know something privately, may I? Ans: Get married. This is the only way that you will cease worrying over your deceased husband and the quicker you find happiness the better for your health as you are worrying yourself sick. Of course, you may write me privately. See the special note attached to this column for information. W. R. T.—Will I realize anything from the investment that I have made or in other words will I profit from it? Ans: Yes, you will realize a nice monthly income from the beauty parlor that your friend and yourself have purchased. Your friend is right in putting in the new bookkeeping system so that there will be no excuse for either of you losing anything from the investment. E. S. M.—Where is my father located? Ans.: At the present time he is visiting in Cleveland, Ohio. He has been there for several months but he will start for Chicago, Ill., before cold weather. A. E. P.—Please tell me what my trouble is that I always meet very untrue boy friends? Ans.: The way in which you meet these friends have quite a bit to do with whether they are true or untrue. Do not try to keep your friendship with them a secret but insist that they visit you at your home and meet your people for they will respect you much more. M. G.—I am writing asking will I be able to accomplish my aim or is it a hopeless desire? Ans.: Your desires are not hopeless provided you continue to carry out the plans that you have anticipated—however the course in commercial art that you have begun will be the means of you making a success of your talent. It will be two or three years before you will realize a salary. covered in this paper—ONLY when used in your letter.

A FOX picture with WARNER OLAND "PAT" PATERSON and STEPIN FETCHIT as Chan's reluctant aide Saturday Only—Chapter No. 7, "MYSTERY MOUNTAIN" THE FILM "THE MEN IN THE WOODS" BY JOHN HARRISON AND JOHN HARRISON. Victor McLaglen and Heather Angel are co-starred in the picture, "The Informer," which begins a week at the Booker T. Theater tomorrow. (Friday) Republic Stepin Fetchit Warner Oland has a new but reluctant aide in his latest Chan picture, "Charlie Chan in Egypt." And who could it be except the screen's best colored comedian, Stepin Fetchit. Together they solve the mystery that snuffed out three lives as the dread "Sekmet curse descends in a musty Egyptian tomb. The story carries Charlie Chan and Fetchit to the mystery-scented land of the Pharoahs, in the Valley of the Kings, amid the splendors and riches of the last resting places of the mighty monarchs of thousands of years ago. Chan has been hired by the French Historical Society to trace the thefts of priceless jewels stolen from the Pyramids. Three murders occur and every body wonders whether it was Seki met the cat-headed Egyptian goddess of vengeance who struck down those disturbing the monarchs in the final sleep. "Charlie Chan in Egypt" will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre for an entire week beginning Friday. Victor McLaglen Heather Angel Victor McLaglen, Margot Grahame and Preston Foster are starred in "The Informer" the most astounding drama the screen has ever known and which will be the attraction at the Booker T. Theatre for one week only beginning Friday. "The Informer" is the dramatic story of a man whose desire for money to satisfy the desires of the blonde woman he loves, leads him to batray his friends and the cause for which he is working. The realization of the import of the crime engenders in him a turmoil of biting, human emotions which at last force him to reveal his guilt and make the inevitable payment of his life for an act considered by his comrades as the despicable of sins. In this tale which tells with vital tragedy of the self-annihilation of "The Informer," Victor McLaglen enacts the most powerful role of his career. As Gypo Nolan who wages a lone battle against the world he establishes himself as one of the greatest dramatic actors on the screen. 153 IN SUMMER SCHOOL RALEIGH, N.

VOICE OF ALEXANDRIA By JULIUS NEWMAN "THE TiMID SOUL" Hello Everyone! . . . Well I guess the first thing you would want to hear about is the "greatest bout" of the age . . . the boxing affair between the Alexandria Bearcat (one Morris Lerob Murray) and last of all your writer, whom the terrible Bearcat ran out on last Friday night . . . Yes, believe it or not, that is just what little Morris did last week . . . He ran so far down in Maryland that a telephone would hardly reach him because the poes would be lacking . . . the little fellow took a V-8, something that would take him away from the scene of the supposed battle in a hurry . . . And so in leaving this terrible little Alexandria windbag who was to knock this humble scribe kicking in the second round we wish to have you to remember this . . . (whenever a fellow runs, there's a streak of yellow chasing him) . . . Well, maybe after all the 'ad did the best thing, because only a year ago the same Morris Lerob Murray was badly beaten by the same Eddie Newman who was supposed to go out like a light this time . . .

So intense has this feeling been formed against the Nazis in the daily American newpaper that 2 distinguished United States Sena- tor has threatened to introduce a resolution in the Senate for the purpose of severing diplomatic re- lations between Germany and this country. Further, the officia's and dignitaries of the American Olym- pic Games Committee are seriously considering the withdrawal of the American team from the games scheduled to be held in Germany next summer: But, ‘as Westbrook Pegler, an outstanding syndicate columnist of svuthern origin, s0 wisely put it this week, “America should sweep off her front steps first before attempting to brush off someone else’s sweepings.” This southern writer hit the nail on the head when he stated that had the 1932 Olympic games been hele in a southern section of the country rathen than in California, as it was, athletes “with the complexion of Peacock, Owens, Metcalfe and Johnson would have been diplo- matically and tactfully barred from competition, But, to make a long story short, America, in this cur- rent controversy, appears to be in the position of the pot who daring: ty ealls the equally proverbial fry ing pan black! | ° Silhouettes and Snapshotg Rumor hath it that Bob Pryor, the trombone tooter of the Blue- birds ensemble, is secretly merged with the former Dorothy Jones...

Mr. Lawrence was in court and spoke for hie delinquent son, He has 13 other children who have never been in trouble. “T feel that I have done every- thing possible to teach my boy the difference between right and wrong,” he told the court. The boys killed William Walsh, white, penniless father of two chil- dren- They found him on a vacant lot asleen and roused him in order to rob him, Mrs. Walsh widow bitterly objected to the boys being tried as juveniles.

IM-CROW STIL PREDOMINAETS NEGRO OC CANE From time to time since the es- te“¥ishment of the C.C.C camps for Necroes, complaints have been made to the District of Columbia branch of the N.A.A-C.P, that Ne- gro enrollees have been discrimi- nated against, even in their own camps. During last winter and spring the secretary has been appealed to hecause in some camps not only were the commanding officer, the medicpl adviser and the education- al adviser white men. but frequent- ly such positions as company clerk, mess sergeant, store-room keeper. truck driver and the like were held by white enrollees, These men, in addition to heldine these better otving jobs, were often given pri- soos not accorded other men. The matter was taken up with Robert L. Fechner, director of the Civilian Conservation Corps, with he result that ome of the condi- tiens have been remedied. From the very beginning, these camps presented a contradictory and anomalous situation. We had works-relief agencies for colored men furnishing work relief for white men with the rosters full of colored apnvicants in need of work, and we also had white officers, white medical advisers and white educational advisers in _ these camps. Why not, we ask, give to Nezro workers, Negro physicians, Negro educators jobs which had been created to absorb unemploy- ment among Negroes? The N.A.A.C.P., along with other agencies, has been seeking an an- swer to these questions, and js get- ting results. Already some white educational advisers have been dis placed by qualified Negroes, and in- dications point to the displacing of vhite army officers with colored officers from the U.S: Reserve Corps. This should certainly be accompanied, if not preceded, by the installing of Negro medical ad- visers in all such camps. One of the first camps to em- ploy a Negro educational adviser is Camp F-15, located at Wolf Gap, high up in the Blue Ridge Moun- tains, just outside the town of Edinburg, Va. The secretary of the District of Columbia branch of the N.A.A.C.P, A. S, Pinkett, together with Mrs. Pinkett, Miss L. Louise Pinkett and Miss Constance Ingram, visited the Wolf Gap camp recently and got a firsthand view of a CCC camp with a Negro educational adviser: This camp is about 100 miles from Washington, and its present contingent of 150 enrollees is drawn from the District of Colum- bia and the Tidewater section of Virginia. The camp site lies part- ly in Virginia aand partly in West Virginia, the main street marking the dividing line between the states. The members of the Washington party were guests of the educa- tional adviser, Fred Minnis, who some months ago was appointed to his present office in the place of a white man formerly there. Although these are said to be “New Deal” days, the old deal is still in the saddle in some of the departments of this camp, and like all CCC camps at this writing, it is presided over by white com- missioned officers from the U.S. Army Reserve Corps. Even the medical adviser is a white man, Originally, ail educational ‘ad- visers in these camps were white, but within recent months, Mr. Min- nis, who holds A.B. and A.M, de: grees from Howard University, Was appointed to that position. The success that he has made of his job is only illustrative of’ the stecess which a Negro command- ing officer and a Negro medical ad- viser would make of their jobs, if appointed. AH! educational and reereational activities come under Mr. Minnis, and in the few months of his ad ministration he has gotten some excellent results. Dr. Mary F.

Dr. Waring’s reelection was a case of history repeating itself, in that two years ago, when the association met in Chicago, the main high light of the meeting was the spirited campaign waged by supporters of Dr. Waring and Dr. Chralotte Hawkins Brown, nationally known educator, — for the presidency. which was climax. ed by a victory for the Chicagoan.

AIR-CONDITIONED AMERICAN GAS AS the second achievement for its 25th Anniversary, the American Oil Company presents a regular gasoline as new—as modern—and as different as its name—“AIR-CONDITIONED” American Gas. In how it’s produced, in what it is, in what it does— “AIR-CONDITIONED” American Gas now moves even further ahead of other regular gasolines that have become pretty much alike. First of all, “AIR-CONDITIONED” American Gas is a 100% Pure Petroleum Base. Our new refinery with its new processes is able to develop from the raw crudes a regular gasoline with more net energy per gallon and more other desirable qualities than ever before possible. No acid is used in our refining operations. Most other gasolines are acid-treated. Acid-treating injures anti-knock quality and also leaves traces of acidic compounds in the gasoline. Further, it hasn’t been necessary to add any of the chemicals used in most regular gasolines. The result is a new type of gasoline that offers you things no other regular gas can offer.

The year 1933-34 was the banner year, when $2079 was paid to students. 1934-35 showed a slight decrease, as earnings were $2,349, or $360 less, These wages constituted 23.6 per cent of the school's income from Student Fees. Nineteen students, 14 boys and five girls are employed. pei ia KNOXVILLE WILL ADD_IN- STRUCTORS TO STAFF KNOXVILE, Tenn.—Plans are being made at Knoxville College for the addition of at least two new staff members before the opening of the fall quarter on September The department of education and psychology is expected to be en- larged by the addiion of an instrue- tor in the field of elementary edu- cation.

WEEK ENDING AUGUST 3, 1935 1935 Model of Drinkers Just why people should stay up until 4 and 5 a.m. to drink their liquor is beyond the understanding of Lieutenant Charles J. P. Weber, of the Metropolitan Police Force. Lieutenant Weber was speaking before the Alcoholic Control Board of the District and he proceeded to give the board his experience with liquor and liquor drinkers over a period of some 32 years as a member of the department and in No. 2 Precinct. His speech was a little off the record but it was the most interesting to the large number of spectators who had gathered to attend a hearing and all of the board members listened attentively to the officer and he was permitted to give his experiences with saloons in the old days and the recent night club fad under the New Deal. Despite its so-called bad influences, Lieutenant Weber prefers the old time saloon in preference to the night club. The saloon closed promptly at 12 and all patrons were on their way home about the time the 1935 model of drinkers is just starting out. The veteran officer believes that the all-night drinking habit is the cause of more crime and other ill habits that go with excessive drinking than the old fashioned saloon. He fails to see why a sane person can't drink enough by 12 o'clock to satisfy his needs. The Traffic Drive The Tribane is heartily in accord with the recent drive by police against violators of traffic regulations, but we do object to the unnecessary harassing of Negro drivers by officers for minor violations which do not contribute to traffic hazards. Police, especially take delight in "cussing" out colored motorists for failure to have tail lights burning, parking an inch or two beyond the required six inches from the curb and other trivial violations. From observations the white officers will stop a colored motorist and proceed to "cuss" him out before a gathering and threaten to strike him if the motorist tries to explain that the "violation" was through no fault of his. This is considered "smart talk" by the officer. If Major Brown would take the time to inspect the reports turned in by these officers he would find that a school to teach the three"R's" is more important than his so-called crime school. We would also like to know who is to give tickets to officers who frequently violate the law by making U turns, parking across intersections and swearing in the street? Another lynching in Florida is the shameful news that confronts us. What are we going to do about it? Nothing. The organization of women organized for the prevention of lynching has appealed to Governor Sholtz for an "honest investigation." We know now what that investigation will amount to—Nothing. The plainest case ever in Florida was in Tampa. Nothing was done. The law should be allowed to take its course. Those who cannot trust the law should be punished. So long as we condone crime or meet crime with crime so long must we bear the stigma of the civilized nations of the world. The peace agencies of this world will not have better opportunity to get in their perfect work than now. There is trouble brewing almost everywhere. The gods of war are busy. In spots the factories are being "put" at top speed manufacturing articles of death and destruction. Leaders are talking, seeking peace by way of war. The time is here when some man should rise above selfishness and little things and lead the agencies of Peace to conquer not by might but by the peaceful influence of the Christ. Surely something is wrong with our civilization. There is good publicity and bad publicity. No community ever got bad publicity because its citizens worked together for the general welfare of the town. And we are sure that the unjust cannot be just to all men when trusted to be it. It takes all kinds of people to make a world, but it only takes one kind of towns to make a nation: good towns. In seeking to better our condition we must not lose interest in other folks. If there was ever a time when Negroes should qualify to vote, it is now. Challenge issue to group which opposed license to Cotton Club. To the Editor: Some of our good citizens are annoyed by the night club in the Masonic Temple. It is regrettable that we should have a club in our neighborhood where the patronage is one hundred and fifty white to one colored, whereas we are not served in white neighborhoods. But do we realize that the Cotton Club employs fifty of our boys and girls, some of them heads of families, and all of them conscientious workers? It is demonstrated that our people can organize effectively for protection. Can we organize $a_5$ well for productive activity? Let one hundred and fifty of these protestants lend their organization one hundred dollars each. The fifteen thousand dollars would equal the capital investment of the Cotton Club. We could begin the operation of our own grocery, dry goods, drug or cut-rate ice cream chain. The loyalty of the employees would go to the organization where it is needed, rather than against the organization where it is harmful for all concerned. An eyewitness tells of emancipation day of Harlem after Louis-Carnera fight. To the Editor: It may seem a bit late to write this letter, but I want to get it out of my system. I have seen Negroes at the Mardi Gras in New Orleans; I have seen them at the World's Fair in Chicago; I have been with them at the Elks' convention in Atlantic City, as well as the Olympics in Los Angeles, California, but in none of these places have they seemed quite so colorful as they were in New York on the day preceding and the night following the Louis-Carnera bout. Negroes came to New York from every state in the Union. It was as difficult to find a parking space anywhere in Harlem from Sunday night to Wednesday morning as it is to find parking space on Auburn Avenue in Atlanta on the day of a prominent funeral. They came to see Joe Louis rip the jaw of Primo Carrera and bring him to his knees as if to pray three times in the sixth round. Characteristic of their belief in his triumph was the expression of an elevator operator: "If Joe Louis does not win this fight tonight, all of the Negroes in Harlem will be on relief tomorrow." The carefree joyousness of the Negroes made the Police Department apprehensive. In the language of the Englishman "The Negroes in Harlem were on a Holiday for the moment." So what? Roscoe Dungee makes strong plea for reconstruction of youth. To the Editor: Negroes must have their youth movements, for it is in the hands and hearts of the young that our destiny resides. The Negro boy and girl who leaves college and enters the field of labor and service should not assume the attitude of many who feel that all opportunities has long since fled and that youth of other races are entrenched behind impregnable barriers. Forget your hands and try to think your way out. The world is waiting for some one to do in a better way the things that the world has to do. If some young Negro were to control the law of gravitation, airships will be safe for me to ride in. Take the fading out of the radio. What's in the rock? George Washington Carver says that there is food in rocks, and just as much as there is in a black land farm. Can you find it? Stop saying there are no opportunities in this great land for black boys and girls so long as God allows you to have a well balanced mind; your youth and health. In fighting forward, youth must understand true values and the relationship of one value to another. It is the difference between seeing life in the concrete instead of seeing life in the abstract. Most Negroes do not understand the vital relationship that one Negro sustains to another. One has great trouble in convincing Negroes that there is a relationship in citizenship that ties the worst criminal Negro to the most educated black man. It makes no difference how high we get in this world we should never forget "I am my brother's keeper!" Few Negroes know anything about this philosophy. ROSCOE DUNGEE. Oklahoma City, Okla. Folks, as I see them T. the Editor: Some are happy with no thoughts of tomorrow's pains. Others seek the pomp and glory of a king who reigns; Then I see a few who make an effort to conceal. What they think of folks and things, and what they truly feel. Then I see a gang of nitwits always showing off; (A mar is right to feel at ease, if he at them does scoff.) And I notice that the motive back of most men's aim Is that well-known demon gold! Isn't that a shame? 'Cause when I think of what I've read in papers and in books; That rich folks are not half as happy as they usually seem. That what they own as happiness is nothing more than steam. So I see one thing, you another, and the difference mounts So this is my conclusion, folks, "It's what you are that counts." C. C. LUCAS. We gain nothing by softening truth to please others. And now may the spirit of cheer permeate every mind It helps to turn to the right when you meet temptation. Life is made up, after all, of countless small experiences. There are sections of Africa as Christian as any in Italy There are section all about us as savage as any in Africa. How do we stand with our neighbor's idea of civic pride? Happiness is found most by those who seek it least. The judges are playing havoc with some of our newly-enacted laws South African Color Complications Here in America, we see white wealth and culture assuming perogatives, and black wealth and education want to do the same. Of course this can be called a quality-distinction rather than a color-distinction, but in many of its manifestations it is not very different. The editor of The Crisis Magazine marked certain items in The Sun, a South African daily paper, and handed it on to me—because he knew that I would be interested in those items. I pass some of them on to you, because they will interest you. You know, in South Africa they have three races, the white, the colored and the native or black race. Perhaps they have not heard that in the United States we have plenty of trouble with only two races. The Colored Race there is the mix-blooded people resulting from union of whites and natives. It is logically absurd that this terium quid being the product of both races, should think itself either better or inferior to either of the parent races. But if whites are superior because they are all white, then the colored people take it that they are superior to the all-black natives since "colored" means part-white. But that makes it absolutely necessary for the middle group to proclaim its own inferiority when it asserts the inferiority of the native races. That is where the stultification comes in: for it would be much better for the mixed breed to say: "We are part white, part black,—but we are inferior to nobody, because white is just as good as black, so far as we are concerned." But the yellows destroy forever their own chances of claiming equality, the moment they supprot the idea of inferiority of the black natives. So much for "logic",—which never operates in race prejudices. Now for some of the queer phenomena of these complexes. One of the most interesting of these items marked by the Crisis Editor: —Sir,I think it is high time that separate tearooms and cafes should be provided for Coloured people and Natives. Because it seems that every tea-room and cafe in Capetown and the Suburbs is always over-crowded with Natives, that a respectable Coloured person is unable to enjoy a cup of tea. RESPECTABLE—BUT— COLOURED Although the letter-writer's English is not respectable, we assume that he is "Respectable Coloured," as he signs himself, the letter discloses two undespectable traits even to the most casual reader: the dumb acknowledgment of his own sense of inferiority (to white South Africans), and the usual cowardice of his position by the fear to sign his own name. We would have the same condition in America, were it not for the fact that in the United States the so-called white race is greatly in the majority, ten to one. If those of black and mixed blood together outnumbered the whites, then the dominant white would feel the need of either setting up the mixed bloods as a buffer race or of admitting the white Negroes to full fellowship in the white group. But here the white man's overwhelming excess of numbness over the whole Negro-blooded outfit, makes him feel secure even when he measures himself against all yellows and blacks combined. In the West Indies, wherever the yellow and blacks together greatly outnumber the whites, they have a similar third-race establishment like that in South Africa. In Cuba, for example, where two-thirds of the people would be "Negroes" if they classified the population a la Mississippi, they class all the near-white and light browns as "white" and so announce that their population is two-thirds of the white race. All this sociological differentiation shows the lack of a natural and reasonable basis for any distinction based on blood, or geography or race. SIMILAR CONDITIGNS HERE IN AMERICA But the mixed breeds will inevitably ape the dominant whites wherever there is a condition that gives them a relative advantage to do so. Even where the distinction is not based on color, but on "class," it is much the same: we often hear the "better class of colored people" of these United States (blacks and yellows) clamoring for some sort of distinction, not necessarily based on moral worth, to give them an advantage over the "common" Negro (black and yellow). Here we see white wealth and culture assuming preogatives and black wealth and education wants to do the same. Of course this can be called a quality-distinction rather than a color-distinction, but in many of its manifestations it is not very different. But when we have a three-way race, what, ever the whites do to the "Colored," the latter want to do to the blacks. Frederick Douglass discovered in the conditions of slavery that the ideal of the aspiring blacks was to emulate the dominant whites, and that to "whip somebody" was the proof of superiority. Whites used whips, and every Negro, and every inferior or poor white, wanted to "whip somebody," even if it were some weaker member of his own class, or even his wife and children. "Each flea has lesser fleas that bite 'im,' and so it goes ad infinitum." WANT SEPARATE RAILROAD STATION Other items marked by the Crisis Editor include a request of mixed breeds for a separate railway station room from that of the natives (not a request for same room with whites!) and a demand for a law to prevent white girls from working for even Asiatic (colored) business men. And one Oswald Pirew, a "good white," indulges in this logic, which would do justice to Mississippi: "To me the Native is an asset to South Africa, and he has the right to the highest development of which he is capable. This, however, should not be interpreted to mean that the Native should take the place of the White man in the labor market." That is: "I believe that the Negro should be allowed to advance,—but—" And right after that "but" the first statement is flatly contradicted. But the greatest drawback to the advance of the weak will always be the self-seeking lines which the weaker element draw among themselves. We must not destroy the innocent in our efforts to punish the guilty man. It is not the clothes we put on that count but what we put the clothes on. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING AUGUST 3. 1935 Our Readers' Opinions ALFRED BULKLEY MILLER JESSE O. THOMAS New York "No Justification for Italy's Actions," Says Dr. Jones conditions, sincerely as we should recognize them as possible explanations of national attitudes and polices, they are emphatically not justifications of any program of ruthless conquest and exploitation. Such a program is a turning back of the wheels of progress and civilization. The League of Nations, the Briand-Kellog Pact, the Good Neighbor Policy and International Good-Will have been won at extraordinary costs of human effort involving sacrifices far beyond our appreciation. Italy with its $_{it}$ heritage of art and philosophy and religion cannot afford to begin an European attack upon these vital achievements of the last two decades. America's deep concern in this threatening catastrophe is rooted in national and international realities. A Balkan tragedy in 1914 involved the whole world and dragged these United States into deadly sacrifices that continue actively to the present day. Americans and especially our twelve million Negro Americans are vitally interested in the safety and progress of Abyssinia and Liberia, the only Native Governments in the whole Continent. We cannot be indifferent to the ruthless conquest of the self-governing Ethiopians living their own lives without injury or insult to anyone. The heroic efforts of King Haile Selassie to advance his "Hermit Nation" to the standards of civilization, are worthy of the appreciation and encouragement of American people. Surely the millions of Italian Americans' who have provided their loyalty to American ideals, must deeply regret any program of cruel exploitation of a little Nation by Italy—their Mother Country of notable attainments. would deaden, nullify it. It was definitely probable, he mused, that he would meet young men and women interested in the same things that interested him—in those ideals in which he had so thoroughly been grounded both through his own desire to excel and through ideals instilled in him by Dr. Brandon's letters and the council of his mother- Rosemary Martin, who would be the hostess, was brown and perfect of feature. She was slender and Carl thought he had never seen a girl more perfectly proportioned. He visualized the gracious brown figure of Rosemary Martin moving here and there among the guests. Rosemary Martin's party would be a haven of joy, a retreat from the harsh realities of a rather spiritless and unsatisfying world by day, he felt. On the night of the affair there would no doubt be a low-hanging Southern moon, and just a few stars. The drive on the bayshore to her bungalow would be more alluring than ever. The orchestral strains would stir deeper longings, deeper emotions in him when he arrived. Certainly he would accept the invitation. The night of Rosemary's party would mean a night of real pleasure, of wholesome joy for Carl Brandon as well as for all the others. The earliest guests to arrive at Rosemary Martin's affair and the most interesting were Phillip Graham, Sylvia Brandon, Marjorie Warren and Professor Archibald Vance. Sylvia was accompanied by Prof. Archibald Vance and arrived before Carl who came alone. Carl came alone partly because he admired Rosemary alone, and other members of the younger set could gain only the most casual notice from him. Carl preferred to remain unicumbered in order that he might give all or most of his attention to the creature who fascinated him almost to the point of hypnotism. Phillip Graham, Carl's close friend, appeared with Marjorie Warren. Marjorie, brilliant and gay, a young school teacher only recently graduated from the university, was both vivacious and charming in a dress of flaming red. Marjorie and Sylvia immediately entered into an animated conservation on the broad divan in the front living room. Phillip went to the radio and fingered it—catching bits of the evening broadcast from several out-of-town stations. Vance examined the attractive reproductions of Whistler. Servant, Renan and certain of the moderns placed strategically here and there. Then he walked over to the two girls seated himself between them and joined their enthusiastic discussion of summer plans, the latest creations in clothes, the new novel by Claude McKav and the current cinema successes. The Lyric Voice A little threanny of love, life, song and death that sinks deep into the consciousness of all who feel the poignant pressure of something more than a mere poetic injustice: Life tempted with her fairy fields Of pleasant flowers and fruits, Nor warned him that the harvest yields Upon the tree of human hate— As Christ was crucified By THOMAS JESSE JONES Educational Director of the Fhelps-Stokes Fund (Dr. Jones, ha traveled extensively in Africa and visited Abyssinia several times during the past fifteen years.) In our affection for the Italian people; in our respect for many of Premier Mussolini's achievement, we eagarly seek some explanation for the amazing and disappointing program of ruthless conquest and exploitation of an innocent nation whose king has been pathetically eager to advance his people to the standards of civilization. Let us sincerely grant that Italy's huge population acutely needs "a place in the sun" and an opportunity for economic development. Let us grant that Italy's rule of her present colonies has been helpful to the native people. Let us even grant that Italy's rule of Ethiopia would probably hasten the dissemination of the essentials of civilization among the fifteen million Ethiopians still so largely lacking the necessities of health, economic welfare, education and civic. Let us admit that less than a hundred years ago England, France, Germany, our own United States, and practically every European nation were taking possession of our countries and peoples beyond their own borders. Let us admit also that the Treaty of Versailles 16 years ago parcelled out tribes and territories to certain nations and left other nations empty handed. And finally, let us grant that Abyssinian boundaries have been the scenes of quarrels and misunderstandings. Vividly conscious as we should be of these geographic and historic The . . . . Literary Alcove By ALPHEUS BUTLER Note: At intervals the publication of "Magic Lanes and Stars" in "The Literary Alcove" will be interrupted in order to chronicle various events of importance in the literary world. The narrative, however, will be interrupted for intervals of only about a week at a time. It will be resumed and continued until it is completed. MAGIC LANES AND STARS III Mrs. Rosalind Brandon was the daughter of a staunch and picturesque Negro pilot. The task of this pilot was to meet ships just outside the Key West harbor and assist them in docking. The pilot's wife, who was his mother's mother, liked to talk of Africa, the Moors, and of her royal ancestors. She said she was the daughter of an African prince and no doubt she was. There was fire and spiritual strength deep-rooted and firm in the blood of Mrs. Rosalind Brandon. The blood of an African prince, a ruler, a fiery commander, a poet and a musician who created disturbing morose melodies to accompany the beating of the tomtom, all ran in her veins. One could tell in a moment that she was not of common stock but was definitely "to the manor born." When she played on the piano she played Lizz's "Hungarian Rhapsody" with a quick agility, a precise flawless technique. There was no question among any of Carl's acquaintances anywhere in the state in regard to her ability as a musician. Carl loved to watch her slender swift fingers glide over the keys when she demonstrated a chromatic scale to some eager child. The sun was rising higher in the clear sky as dawn gave way to morning. Cumulus clouds were slowly moving up and down the heavens like great galleons sailing in an etherial sea. A few street vendors were beginning to be heard crying their wares in the hinterland beyond the boulevard. Milk wagons, returning from their routes, were going back to the city of Tampa. Boys who, like Carl Brandon, had been enjoying the early morning hours were now going home for breakfast. Soon Carl, too, terminated his solitary vigil. He arose to begin his journey back to Sylvan Haven and the city. He would ride slowly along wide streets, shaded with venerable, protecting old oak trees —trees that acted like giant sentinels. It was necessary to pass down these streets on his way to the voulevard and back. Returning, as in coming, he would gaze with joy on the fanning red of the poinsettia blooms, on the red birds darting through the mazes of entanglements in many of the gardens along the way. He received the following note from Rosemary Martin: "Dear Mr. Brandon: I have found out your name and address from a friend of mine. I inquired about you after our meeting on the boulavard. Will you come to a party I am giving at my bungalow at Sylvan Haven on Thursday evening of next week? Sincerely, Rosemary Martin. Social life, the social world, Carl mused, was an integral part of the sounded life, a necessity for the whole youth. A way, a charming vivacious girl could help mold a youth's personality and character. Contact with the right social group would enrich his world, just as contact with the wrong social group (To be continued) BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL My Life's Span By KELLY MILLER I am now three-score and ten and two years old. I have passed the Scriptural allotment and I am still going strong. I was placed on the retired list at Howard University two years ago for purely calendarial reasons rather than on account of failing strength and physical or mental infirmities. I was for four years a contemporary of Abraham Lincoln. There has been greater transformation in the material aspect of civilization THE GARDEN since my birth than had taken place from the time of Adam until then. Abraham Lincoln never saw an electric light, rode in an automobile, used a telephone or listened over the radio. The intellectual transformation has been no less marvelous. Darwin's "Origin of the Species" was published in 1859, four years before my birth, but did not come into general acceptance and vogue until some twenty years after. This discovery has caused the readjustment of religious, political, economic and social thought of manfind. Nor is the end in sight. It doth not yet appear what the reconstructive thought shall be; but we do know that it will be traceable back to Darwin and the theory of evolution. All of this has transpired during my life, although I cannot say with Aneas "Magna Pars Quarum Fui" (I was a great part of these things), yet I can truly say that the span of my life covered these great transformations. My seventy-two years of life may be taken as a vardstick to measure the progress of the Negro race from Emancipation until now. I came to notice things at the fag end of reconstruction. I have known and in a measure have touched and been touched by the great men and measures who have shaped the destiny of the Negro race. I have seen the political experiment reach its height under Douglass and Langston, Pinchback and Bruce, and have seen it fade almost to nullity, and then again take new spurt under DePriest and Mitchell. I have seen the religious life of the race reach the point of highest hope and expectation in the great A.M.E. church under Payne, Wayman and Brown and then to decline on lower level of moral and spiritual energy and enterprise. I have seen the educational life of the race bouyant with the hope of salvation through learning, and then to taper down to hundreds and thousands of college bred men and women who are seemingly satisfied to get a place on the white man's payroll. I have watched the agitative organizations from the Afro-American League, the Niagara Movement, the Equal Rights League to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, they have all risen, flourished and faded, except the last mentioned which is still functioning. I have seen business organizations flourish for a season like a green hay tree, and then wither at the top for want of depth of earth. I have always maintained some sort of a self-distance from these movements. I have mixed with action only to a limited degree. I never entered actively into the political arena, in religious leadership, nor business enterprises, nor into fraternal and social organizations. I have been, in the main, an observer and a commentator rather than a director of the current of racial life. I was born with a certain equipoise of mind and am not easily swerved by the hysteria of the moment. I have incurred the reputation of not being willing to take sides in issues and controversies to which the race is so readily proned. My intellectual sanity saves me from such futile perturbation. I watched the fury that raged for two decades between the advocates of higher and industrial education, but became the blind partisan in neither. From the start I made a just apraisement of the value of both, realized their relative importance and comparative impotence. I remember thirty years ago speaking in Boston and presenting two briefs, one for the higher education and one for the industrial education as contributive factors in the solution of the race problem. Of course, I was branded as a compromiser and trimmer. At that time Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. DuBois were the irreconcilable antagonists. I stood mid-way between the two, aproaching the merits of both, and their deficiencies. Twenty-five years later, both schools have come to my platform. Dr. DuBois in delivering the graduating address at Howard University several years ago acknowledged the failure of both the higher and industrial education as a solvent for the race problem. In my Founder's Day address at Tuskegee last April I stood precisely where I did thirty years ago and watched the storms go raging. During the past forty years since I began to comment on public life I have engendered much cerbity and some bitterness but I have no enemies. I feel like Elbert Hubbard "my enemies are my friends who misunderstand me." I have never hated and do not now hate a single individual who has risen above the horizon. I emphatically dislike many of the attitudes and faults but have always disentangled the genuine from the discordant in character. I hate the sin, and yet love the sinner. I have never hated the white race, on the whole, I have pitied them. After severe self-searching I have feared in my heart of hearts that had there been a transposition of places I should possibly, may probably, have had the same disdainful attitude towards them which they now exhibit towards the Negro. Then I know that I should hate myself. I have always preserved a more or less unruffled attitude and stood aplomb amidst irrational things. I have the patience of Job which could cry out in deepest despair and distress "I knew that my Redeemer liveth." I have an abiding faith that all human problems, of which the race problem is but a troublesome incident, will finally be solved. This will not take place in my day but I trust that my past forty years of endeavor will neither hinder nor delay this great consumption in God's fullness of time. I have been able to maintain this equipoise of mind and calmness of spirit because of a certain introvert psychology by which I am able to sink into the sub-cellar of my own soul while the storm of life goes raging by. I shall devote the remaining years of my life actively along the same lines of endeavor. I shall not allow myself to be carried away by hidden nostrums political, religious or economic. Here I stand, not otherwise. God help me. I am now engaged upon my autobiography which I hope will be ready within the next year or so. A picture of the type of life which I have striven to live in its relation to the racial and general movements of my day and generation, it seems to me, ought to make an interesting story, if not a worthwhile one. Some men make us fair promises just to get rid of us and our advice. The man who thinks he is better than other folks seldom improves himself. Learning is not alone a question of schooling but of capacity, ability and genius. And still some men who cheat and sluder get by condemning such in others. Some people don't seem to know when they've talked out. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL On Saturday, August 3, the Dear by Club members are acting as hosts to their friends at Benedict Md. A splendid day's outing has been planned—and I get it from undercover mutterings that they expect to make it a red-letter day for demonstrating the meaning of hospitality. THE MAMIE E. JONES CHOIR AUXILIARY OF ASBURY M.E. CHURCH The annual outing of the club was held at Colton, Md., on Thursday, July 25. This is fast becoming one of the most popular features of the summer.

Assuming responsibility of delivering and picking up the books after persons have read them, she makes contacts which render her service indispensable. Engagement of Miss Gandy to Philadelphia annouhced PETERSBURG, Va. — President and Mrs. John M. Gandy of Virginia State College, announced last week, the engagement of their daughter, Miss Marion Elizbeth Gandy, to Donald W. Wyatt of Philadelphia, Pa. The popular bride to be, is well known throughout the east where she has attended school and taught for several years. Miss Gandy holds the Bachelor of Science degree, both from Virginia State College and Cornell University and the degree of Master of Science in home economics from Columbia University. She has taught at Virginia State College and Cheney Teachers College. It was while Miss Gandy was teaching at the latter institution that the romance which culminated in the engagement, began. The pr pective groom is a graduate of Lincoln University (Penn.) and has done graduate work at the University o. Pennsylvania. Mr. Wyatt is connected with the Armstrong Association of Philadelphia, serving in the capacity of research secretary and industrial secretary for men. Both parents and the bride-to-be clined to answer inquiry as to the date of the wedding. Rumor has it, however, that the union will be solemnized with quiet nuptials on the campus of Virginia State College in the late summer 100 Guests Entertained at Wedding Reception Mrs. Rufus P. Turner of Boston, motored to her town town to the wedding reception of her sister, Mrs. Cannis Hayes Harrison, which was held at her mother's lovely suburban home, 5520 Jay Street, Northeast, Saturday, July 27.

Mrs. Hulaida Williams, Miss Evelyn Tate and the charming sisters, Mrs. Sylvester Reeder and Miss Helen Hayes, were hostesses to more than a hundred guests. Many gifts adorned the handsome modernist' room of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison. Several out-of-town guests were present including Prof. Douglass King and wife of Delaware. Miner College Girls Organize Club The "Little Ladies of Marbury" a club to aid the young girls of Marbury, Md., in proper play activities, has been organized by Misses Doris and Alice Butler, students of Miner Teachers' College and members of the social service club at Miner. The club hopes to fill the need of the supervised play for the young girls of Marbury and its activities include contests, games, candy-making, swimming and character building talks and suggestions. The membership of the club consists of girls between the ages of seven and fourteen years who are showing a great deal of interest in the activities. The fact that there are no social service agencies in the vicinity makes the club popular. The organizers are aided in their work by their younger sister, Miss Elaine Butler who hopes to enter Miner Teachers' College in the fall. Officers of the club are Constance Simmons, president; Bernice Simmons, secretary; Dollar Queen, treasurer; Margaret Hancock, sergeant-at-arms and Evelyn Diggs, vice president.

Even with the Leland Simmonses, the Syphaxes, the Perry Howards, the Charles Adamses, the Arnolds, the William Fosters, the Norman Guins, the Broughtons, the Baltimores and many others off to nearby beaches, many of the capital's most popular hosts and hostesses are still in town. And so, charming Mrs. Duke, who is visiting her husband (at the Whit-law Hotel) found herself the attractive center of a delightful round of pretty affairs. Among those who entertained in one way or another for the interesting Chicago visitor were: Dr. and Mrs. Penn of Iowa Circle, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Gregory, Mr. and Mrs. G. David Houston, Dr. and Mrs. McNeill, Miss Laura Arnold, Mr. an Mrs. Lewis K. Downing, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Lankford and many more. Mrs. Campbell (wife of the Rev. H. W. Campbell, of the Fairmount Heights Presbyterian Church) ought not to leave the city this season for summer school, vacation purposes, or anything else. She ought to stay right here and let her many friends see her ever so often in that pale pink dress and that pink hat (blue-banded) that turns off her face just enough to reveal her lovely black bangs. There's a new craze sweeping the town, and two well-known young men don't know what to do about it. It's a matter of shirts. The newest ones have their owners' initials proudly displayed on the pockets. But some people's initials spell terribly awful words. And that is what's puzzling these two. If the first (who is a U-Street stenographer) were to fall in line with the style, he'd have WAR written across his pocket; while the second (an S-Street electrician) would be labeled APE. Irving Street is a bit sad because jolly Andrew J. Samuels and his wife the popular Edua, have taken "Sonny Boy" (their son, of coirse) and moved away. It's a beautiful new home, too. And look whom they found for neighbor when they woke up the other Saturday morning: the Gibbs the Ollie MacDonalds, the --- ... Reid, of Norfolk. Her marriage Washington, D.C. Mr. Elliott is a will make their home in Washington in the Norfolk school system. Mr. and Law School, holds a government in the capital. PRATTLE Ladies and Mold, Wonderful Men Sylvester Reeders and other interesting people. And so it's to be: Patricia Ann. For weeks and weeks dotting relatives of the lovable bit of femininity that has come to bless the Carrington home (the Rev. and Mrs. Carrington of Q Street) have been busy trying to find a name for the tiny favorite. Names of every conceivable kind were duly considered. Even the neighbors and kindly members of John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church offered to help and suggested Angelina, Mary Maudie Ethel and Annie Laurie Louise. But Patricia Ann was finally settled upon. And now it's absolutely bound to happen that despite the pains that everybody took to find just the proper name, the Carrington's dimpled darling will grow up sweetly answering to the simple name of "Pat." It's about time for "Dog Days," and pretty young ladies are busy buying dog collars. But not for their doggies; ah no! These collars (they are made of ever-so-many strands of small pearls and fastened with rhinestone clips) will find a place right aound the sleder necks of Washington's ladies. And when they go out to dine and dance in soft chiffons and laces, the cute dog collars will add a flattering bit of brilliance. Maybe Claudette Colbert has the nicest smile in Hollywood, but Mrs. Gertrude Matthews Bruce of First Street. Northwest has—well, do hurry and get a glimpse of "Gertie" when she shows her pretty teeth. Twas just a little ting-a-ling of the telephone, but it made the days lots happier for Mrs. Fanny Alston, of Second and V Streets, Northwest. It brought the news that Myra, one of her lovely daughters, had passed the recent teacher's examination. A doctor, a nurse and a preacher met in Maryland last Saturday. And now Dr. and Mrs Charles Dudley Lee (she the former Helen Cole of South Carolina) are honey-mooning at Mentrose Lodge on the Hudson. Charles Terry, of Thirteenth Street. Northwest, must really be ever so good at cards. He ran across another Mississippir at a game the other afternoon and the two of 'em talked so much about old times, old towns, old names and faces that they had to be reminded that a card game was going on. And even at that, Mr. Terry came out with a great big score. Just a plain white eyelid suit boasting a lot of buttons, but it did lovely things to the dark eyes and hair of Miss Louise Taliaferro, of 414 U Street, as she walked out theatre-bound the other afternoon. Look what Mrs. Alice West, a new name and "ninety in the shade" d'1 for the old hotel at Highland Beach the other Sunday. When the dinner bells ceased ringing there wasn't a single chicken wing or even one little flat crab cake left hanging around in Ven-High Hotel's kitchen. Dr. and Mrs. Ackiss (she's a lawyer) are getting a lot of mine --- --- SOCIETY NOTES You wouldn't get it finer on the beach at Waikiki Southern Dairies PINEAPPLE ICE CREAM 50c A QUART AT ALL SOUTHERN DAIRIES DEALERS Made Under the Sealtest System of Laboratory Protection Made with the sweetest portions of the finest, fully-ripe Hawaiian pineapples.

Northwest, where each finds office space. Something grand has happened! The Atwater campers are back, oud sons of proud parents folded their tents in East Brookfield, Mass, and (piloted by Percy Pitts, Highwarden Just and Frank Johnston) rushed into the city by train last Saturday. And athers, fathers, sisters, uncles, aunts and even grandmasters haven't been able to get in a word edgewise. Tall tales of high-diving, low-hurdling, broad-jumping and back-stroke swimming have been dinned into listening ears since the moment Johnny and Timmy (Dent) got in. And the nice thing about it all is that the tales are true. If you don't believe it, look at the pri-s the home delegation brought back: John Penderhughes, best all-round camper; John Rector, the most popular camper (the pretty gray streak in his hair probably helped him pile up some points); Daniel Smith, for having the best manners of any camper. Percy Pitts won honors as a swimmer and also as a tennis player. Harold Jennifer, Jr., not only did high diving, but got a great big mark for doing so. Indeed, the Washington crowd got so many of the coveted C.A. letters that they almost needed a special bag to bring them home in.

Twenty-Five years ago in June, this small horse-drawn tank wagon represented the rolling stock of the American Oil Company. The company started with three employess and 300 gallons was a "big" day. Twenty-five years is a long time when counted in terms of weeks and days. But it seems, a very short period when measured in terms of the amazing progress of the American Oil Company. For in that time the American Oil Company has expanded its territory from one city in one state to thousands of cities and 18 states and the District of Columbia. It has thousands of dealer and company-owned stations—a huge tank trucks—one of the largest arrays of railroad tank cars—thousands of employees—15 mammoth ocean terminals, and the world's largest, newest and most modern refining unit.

New York Bans Harlem Survey Report NEW YORK, (CNA) — Resenting the anemic criticism of his hand-picked Commission on Conditions in Harlem, Mayor LaGuardia declared that the report of the sub-committee on education will not be made public unless certain "objectionable" passages casting his administration in an unfavorable light are rewritten. By this decision, the Mayor places his political aspirations above the welfare of the people of Harlem, several Harlem political observers caustically commented. J. McKelvin (Monroe); Time - 7 secs.

BATTLING MIMMS DOWN 9 TIMES; TOSSES TOWEL Coast Heavyweight Unable to Withstand Assault of Jack Rose A right hand that crashed almost at will on his opponent's jaw and a coolness that was marked beside the harem-scarem tactics of his adversary were the chief weapons used by Jack Rose of New York in his six-round technical keyo victory over Battling Mimms of California at Griffith Stadium last night (Wednesday). The fight was the main event of a Lincoln Athletic Club boxing show, and Rose was a last-minute substitution for Humberto Arce, Porto Rican fisticueur who pleaded not guilty at next to the last minute. Nearly 1,500 spectators saw the exhibition. Rose a Substitute Though there were expressions of disappointment when it was learned that Arce was not to be one of the principals, this was forgotten when Rose began pounding his way to unquestionable victory over the Californian. He salienced into Mimms to floor him nine times before the latter's seconds, giving up in despair tossed a towel into the ring. The New Yorker took the short end of the votes in the first round, but came back in the second to start on his winning form. Minms, decidedly shaken up near the close of this stanza, bit the dust three times before a charitable timekeeper's gong called a temporary halt to the argument. The barrage of rights to the head and face was kept up, with Rose shoving a damaging left to the midsection as his opponent sought to protect the upper part of his anatomy. Mimms Not Bad But all was not exactly peaches and cream for the boy from Harlem. Between times, Mimmus showed that he could not only take it but could dish a little himself. The west coast youngster, with a prance that resembled the footwork of a lightweight, landed BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL quite frequently with $ one-two punch that Rose had trouble solving. Mimms, however, could only attack so long as he was on his feet. And Rose had a way of taking the westerner off his f- t. Eley, Buffalo Win Billy Eley, local boy, held on to the will of the public by scoring a popular win over George Gibbs. Pittsburgh veteran who boasts a victory over Jimmy Jackie, in the 8-round semi-windup. In another 8-rounder, Tommy Mollis out-slugged Kid Norfolk for the underweight championship of Baltimore. Eley, Buffalo Win Gene Buffalo, the popular Philadelphia fist-slinger, took a unanimous decision from Meyer Rowan, a good little New Yorker, in what proved to be the card's fastest and most thrilling battle, despite the fact that there was only one knockdown, that by Buffalo for no count. Kayo Clark of this city bowed in the opening number to Eddie Cooper of Baltimore. A collection for the widow and three children of Sterling Calhoun netted $62.30.

BLOCKS MOVE TO NAME TRUSTEE OF $4,000 ESTATE A move to block the appointment of Othelby A. Batholomew as trustee of the estate of the late Mrs. Josephine A. Lawson was made in the District Supreme Court. Wednesday when a petition was filed asking the court to refuse the appointment of Batholomew who seeks to manage the property. Batholomew petitioned the court to name him as he has a claim of $250 against the estate as a result of services rendered Mrs. Mason during her illness. He also claims that Thomas Mason, 63, year-old husband of Mrs. Mason is incompetent to handle the affairs of the estate which is valued at about $4,000 and consists of real estate at 1614 Corcoran Street, Northwest. Batholomew asks the court to have Mason examined by a lunacy commission to determine his ability to care for himself. Attorney Edward A. Beaulian who represents the estate, filed an answer to Batholomew's petition asking that Mrs. Emma B. Henderson be retained by the court as administratrix. Mrs. Henderson was appointed by the court at the time of Mrs. Mason's death. A hearing on the case has been set for Friday. Canadians Volunteer For Ethiopia MONTREAL, Canada, (ANP)—E. M.

Wilkinson Heads Group; Oxley Among Many Speakers N.A.A.C.P. PLEDGES HELP TO FIGHT COP BRUTALITY Attorney George Hayes Recipient of Avowed Cooperation of Local Body Support of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was pledged, through its local secretary, A. S. Pinkett, to counsel for Mrs. Jessie Sterling, 56-year-old reputed victim of a policeman's attack following indications that a civil suit would be filed against the officer late last week. A letter from Mr. Pinkett to Attorney George E. C. Hayes, chief council for Mrs. Sterling in her recent futile defense against a charge of disorderly conduct, criticized the local police department and the judicial system and urged that persecution allegations be pressed to the utmost. Flays Police Practice The letter follows: "Dear Mr. Hayes: "This office has followed with deep interest and approval your handling of the Jessie Sterling case, and commends you for your resolve to press for a just determination. Nobody believes that a policeman is justified in blacking a woman's eyes, bruising her body, and breaking her arms in attempting to maintain an arrest. If there is any policeman on the force who cannot maintain an arrest of a woman without such brutality, he should be dismissed summarily. "It is greatly to be regretted that our experience in such cases, covering a long period of years, does not inspire confidence in either the Police Court or the Trial Board as a remedy. We note, however, that you will not stop at these, but will seek the more promising remedy on the civil side of the Court. Go to it! We are with you all the way. "Sincerely yours, Branch Secretary." Mrs. Sterling was arrested by and charged with disorderly conduct on July 3, by Officer G. B-Reid, white, of the Fourth Precinct. A photograph and testimony of witnesses failed to convince Judge Robert E. Mattingly, on July 24, that the policeman, and not the woman, was the aggressor on the occasion of her arrest and alleged mistreatment. No C.M.T.C.

(CNA) — The determination of the Southern authorities to maintain the chaining system and to whitewash any evidence of brutality to the convicts that may come to light, has been further evidenced during the past few days. Hard upon the heels of the white-wash report turned in by a legislative committee in Georgia—a report which was, nevertheless, forced to admit instances of unspeakable tortures—came another white-wash in North Carolina.
