BREAK IN ELKS' RANKS TO SPLIT CONVENTION PARADE We Have a Fight Here-- Why Go to Ethiopia? Asks Beatrice Murphy By BEATRICE MURPHY Black America has suddenly gone patriotic. The cry to arms has been sounded by a country 10,000 miles away, and the Negro is rallying to the call. A nation of white men has dared to attack an independent colored race. Like a meddlesome old woman, the American Negro has stuck his nose in where past observations show he is not wanted, and into something that is most assuredly not his business. Even while "Ethiopians of importance" are vehemently denying African Negroid descent, and declaring their semitic origin, the American Negro rallies to the cause of "our country." The rightness or wrongness of the issue has been overlooked as of minor import. The fact that for all these thousand years Ethiopia has done very well fighting her own battles without the help of the American Negro is of less import. And the fact that the welcome on Ethiopia's door mat has never been meant for the American Negro—as evidenced by the fact that no invitation has been given for intelligent Negroes to "come to Ethiopia and use your talents building up your country" have been broadcast—has been completely swallowed up in this emotional crisis. The writer has a notion that the Negro would ask himself just what he is fighting for—what does he hope to gain when it is all over? And bluntly, very, very bluntly: (Sec FIGHT HERE, Page 2) EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE stands at attention as he views his troops. He will personally lead his warriors into battle against Mussolini's Black Shirts next month. The Emperor is heartened since he has been assured plenty of guns and ammunition by Japan, makers of the "best" instruments of death. A Belgian military mission has been training Ethiopia's army in modern methods and the results are seen in this brilliant review. With their eyes glued on their commander-in-chief, Emperor Haile Selassie, these crack troops of Ethiopia are seen passing in review at Harar. They are determined to die rather than sacrifice their freedom.

WJSV Denies Use of "Nigger" During Broadcast Despite the fact that many listeners in on Station WJSV's sport comment on the Louis-Levinsky fight by Arch McDonald, last night sent in protest to the Tribune regarding McDonald's use of the word "nigger" in his broadcast, it was denied by the radio station. The Tribune was unable to get in touch with McDonald, but did contact the head of the program committee. It was stated that McDonald did not use the word and that it wasn't the coley of the station to allow such slander to go out over the air. COLUMBIA TO STAGE OWN MARCH Lodge Withdraws When It Is Assigned Place in Third Division Columbia Lodge of Elk$_{5}$ voted to withdraw from the grand lodge parade during the convention of the order here this month and stage a march of its own. This action was taken Monday night at a meeting of the body at its home, on Rhode Island Avenue. The lodge voted to quit the parade when it was assigned to a position in the third division. According to Charles A. Cornish, publicity director for the lodge, the members objected to marching in the position assigned when all other lodges and temples in the District will be in the first division. Columbia Temple, Morning Star Lodge and Forest Temple and the National Capital Lodge and its temples will be in the first division. Would Split Lodge Cornish said such an arrangement will split his lodge as the temple will be in the first division as well as several lodge members of the grand lodge council. The lodge voted to stare its own parade on Monday night, the day before the grand lodge parade. They will march to the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church where the oratoryal contest will be held. nishnish said it is the custom (See ELKS, Page 2) Special to The Tribune PETERBURG, Va.-The battered body of Miss Annie L. Gresham, 25, of Glen Cove, N.Y. and student at Virginia State College, was found here near the college on the banks of Appomattox River early Friday morning. Following the discovery police began a search for a man who is believed to hold the key to the circumstances connected with the murder. The body was found by two men and a woman who had gone to the river to fish and it was partly on a rock, a short distance from shore. Last Seen With Man Through questioning of a number of persons, police learned that the man they were seeking was in the company of the slain girl late Thursday night. The man is said to have moved to Petersburg recently. A woman was in the company of the girl Thursday night, but police learned that she left the girl and the man early in the night. The fact that the slain girl had received a severe injury over her right eye, coupled with the discovery of a broken stick near the骨 where they lead body was found in the water leads police to believe that the girl was struck with the stick and thrown into the water while unconscious from the blow on the head. Coroner E. L. McGill said that an tutopsy had disclosed that the slain girl had not suffered a fracture of the skull and that her death resulted from drowning. He had not set a date for an inquest, but the inquiry probably will be conducted sometime this week. The injury on the head could have been sufficient to render her unconscious, in the opinion of the the medical examiner. Besides the broken stick which is (See COLLEGE GIRL, Page 4) HOLD STORE OWNER IN SLAYING Coroner's Jury. Places Homicide Charge Against Liquor Dealer Ernest Lawton, 37, 1210 V Street, Northwest, was held for the action of the grand jury yesterday (Wednesday) after a coroner's inquest into the fatal shooting of Ferdinand Raggins, 25, 717 Irving Street, Northwest, early yesterday (Wednesday) morning. Raggins was killed with a .38 Colt while he was allegedly tampering with Lawton's car. In a statement made to Sergeant Clyde N. Strange of the Homicide Squad, the defendant said that he had retired for the night when he heard some sort of a crash. He went to his window where he noticed a "man in a straw pat" bending over his car. Lawton then dressed, went downstairs, and ap proached Raggins, firing one shot into the air. He claims that Raggins came toward him and that he fired two more shots, the man falling at the third shot. Had Been Robbed Lawton who is proprietor of a liquor store at Fourteenth and T Streets, Northwest, had been robbed recently and had another car stolen from him. According to members of the Children's Hospital staff, Raggins did not approach Lawton who fired point blank at the man at a distance of about two or three feet. Those doctors testifying were Thomas Dolan, James Healy and George Bogikes. Raggins was taken to Freedmen's Hospital where he died a few minutes later. Death was due to a bullet which penetrated the abdomen according to Dr. Richard Rosenberg, who performed an autopsy at the District Morgue GIRL DISAPPEARS FROM HIGHLAND BEACH CAMP Virgin Islanders Tell Roosevelt They Prefer Death to Cramer Rule Colonial Council Asks Return of Navy to Administration of Appointee PROTEST MEETING FLAYS APPOINTMENT Thought They Were Getting Rid of Cramer When Pearson Left Special to The Tribune ST. THOMAS. V. L. — Virgin Islanders advised President Roosevelt and Congress this week that the islands preferred the rule of the navy to that of Lawrence Cramer, newly appointed governor. The following radio message was sent to the President: "The Colonial Council for St. Thomas and St. John, after 18 years experience, gratefully remembering the peacefulness and security under the efficient and benevolent Naval Administration, reiterates its expressed opinion that the return of the Navy is the only solution of the Island's problems. The Colonial Council strongly recommends that any plan conducive to the welfare of the community should include the active participation of the Navy of the United States."

(Bus) Lee, who two weeks ago was arrested and held in $1,000 bond on a charge of bigamy, had his troubles doubled late this week when Mrs. Begiey Arrington Lee, the wife who had him taken into suicety, filed suit for divorce in the District Supreme Court. Lee was cited in petition filed through the offices of Attornc. L. Melendez King. Mrs. Vashti Norwood, 1637 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, was also named a defendant. Married in 1932 According to information given the Tribune, Lee was married to his first wife, Mrs Bessie Arrington Lee, in Marlboro, Md., in September, 1932. After living with her for several months, he is said to have deserted her and gone to California where he took up residence in Los Angeles. Two years later he entered the California courts and sought to have his marriage dissolved. When notified at her local home, 1404 Twelfth Street, Northwest. Mrs. Lee refused to consent to the husband's request. As a result, it is averred, the action was made invalid. This is substantiated by reports from Los Angeles which assert that Lee was never granted a final decree. Furher allegations are to the effect that Lee returned to Washington the past June and remarried, this time to the former Miss Vashti Norwood. The pair are said by Mrs. Bessie Arrington Lee, to have made their home at the Thirteenth Street address Lee is a graduate of the Howard University School of Law and is well known in local legal and fraternal circles.

HAROLD FLOWERS Tribune, Staff, Correspondent NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Although the courts and legislatures cannot be depended upon in seeking to get justice for the Negro in cases where discrimination is practiced in public education, Charles H. Houston, special counsel of the NAACP, told members of the National Bar Association last week that the court and legislature would be used as a public forum to expose conditions. Mr. Houston, shouldering the recently launched attack against discrimination in public education, declared that agitatic was moulding public opinion. Citing the attempted passage of the Costigan-Wagner Wagner-Lynchning bill, as an indirect benefit to the cause of such legislation, Mr. Houston stated that "the holding up of the business of the Congress for a week was a substantial gain." Seeks Equality Pointing out to the lawyers that --- Camp Leaders Say Girl Was Ward of Protective League Mystery shrouds the disappearance of Edith Jackson, attractive twelve-year-old girl, yesterday (Wednesday) from the exclusive Camp Clarissa Scott in Highland Beach, Maryland. Edith had been threatening to leave the camp for several days and yesterday she just walked away from the camp leaving no clue as to her whereabouts. Washington police authorities who have been asked to search for her are baffled, and, like camp officials, can give no reason for her disappearance. The dark eyed, boyish bobbed hair girl was wearing a three piece brown cotton dress, and tennis shoes when she disappeared. She is a ward of the Juvenile Protective League, white, and is said to be a problem child. At one time Edith is alleged to have run away from her home, 1014 First Street, Southeast. She told other campers that she had a dollar. The money and a pocket knife are though to be her sole possessions when she left camp. Mrs. Robert McGuire, chairman of the camp committee, said in a statement to The Tribune that she was opposed to leagues and associations sending problem and delinquent children to camp. White Reporters Walk Out on Houston Speech NASHVILLE, Tenn.—White reporters walked out of the Morris Memorial Auditorium. Thursday during the address of Charles H. Houston, special counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Houston lambasted the white south for its jim crow, segregation, and treatment of Negroes. White reporters became angry when the former Howard University dean of law "lit into the inequalities" of the south. HARLEMITES DEMAND DISMISSAL OF ANT-NEGRO RELIEF HEADS NEW YORK (CNA) — Four thousand residents of lower East Harlam have signed petitions demanding Mayor LaGuardia dismiss Miss Hamershlag, white, relief administrator of Precinct 25, and her assistant, Miss Swindell, white, for their discrimination against Negroes and foreign-born. Discrimination Education Systems kies Favorable Action on the Angelo Herndon on Speech Grounds in 19 states and the District of Columbia that separate schools are required by law; that in three states separate schools are permissive; that in 12 states separate schools are prohibited by law; and that in 14 states the law was silent on the question, Mr. Houston declared that where segregated schools were fixed, the fight should be to make such schools absolutely equal. Drawing a vivid picture of the actual conditions facing the Negro teacher and student, and the inequalities resulting from the imposition of discriminatory policies by the school officials, special counsel for the NAACP stated that organizations' legal attack would be for the accomplishment of two goals; first, graduate and professional education for Negro students, in states where no such provisions are made, and second to equalize teachers' salaries. For the obtaining of the first goal, the attack will be similar to the at- (See HOUSTON, Page 3) \ Games a SY Pomave a Pye ay Ae Nate lr Groner Y * AT APEX BEAUTY ( PARLORS.

Our pur- pose that when we turned on the electric light, the water began to run in the kitchen Or that when we lied, good came of it? What would be the result? Freedom... or chaos? z The laws of God are the frame- work upon which the security of the universe rests. Sometimes these laws seem strange or cruel to us. This is because we do not understand the full law. “Now we see through a glass darkly...” The laws of God do not change «cit is our understanding of them that changes. Spicitual laws. Jesus said that the laws of the spirit are as un- changable and as much to depend- ed upon as the laws of planting and reaping: “Whatsoever aman sow- eth, that shail he also reap.” Note that Jesus did ‘not say where and when and how the man who sins shall reap his reward. Often it looks as if people who are greedy and sinful are getting away with it indefinitely. But they are reap- ing the result of greed in their own lives...and they will continue to reap it through al! eternity. Jesus was not concerned with out- ward success as the world reckons it...He was concerned over inward success, building a character fit to last forever. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” Jesus was talking about people, not trees! Spiritual laws ean be proved. We live in a scientific age when we do not believe anythting we cannot see, touch, or feel. But you can feel things with the spirit as well as the hand! You can prove spirt- ual laws by actual living. “If any man will do my will, he shall know whether these things I teach are right or not,” Jesus promised ‘The laws of the spiritual life are s0 exact that they can he reduced to formulas. Just as two and two always make four, as hydrogen and exygen combined in proper quanti- ties make water...s0 we have the pomer to make use of spiritual jaws, Surrender to God—faith in Bim —the power of God in our daily lives. ‘Try it and see! How can we learn these laws? How did the first farmer tearn to plant? What soil and water were right for growing certain crops? ‘He learned by experiment, of course. Then he passed on his ‘knowledge to his son and his son's fons. But if every man always stopped to experiment from the be: ginning. when would we have time for progress? Are there any miracles today? If God made these laws... .both spirit: ual and physieal...can He break them when an emergency arises? Or does He? It is a commonplace that things which we regard as miracles today are the usual things of tomorrow. ‘The laws of nature do not change +.;¢ither in the physical, mental o spiritual world. It is man’s mas tery of them that changes! We simply learn each day how to use more of God's laws...to fulfill the conditions. God has always know! all about these laws. So may no: the miracle to us be the common- place to Him? Of course there ar miracles! But they are explainable miracles if you know what God does. Miracles...of tomorrow. Read with me for a moment, this morn: ing's paper. The chairman of the Board of the American Chemical Society reports about “Chemistry in the Next Century.” He predicts that by 2035 we can go to Mars if we want to because by then en- gineers will have found fuel “cap- able of releasing more energy per pound than is required to lift that pound out of earth's gravitationa! field.” | He also says that through know- tedge of modern chemicals, we shall learn how to stay at a given age as long as we like! You can be sixteen or thirty-five as you wish! Or you can give Methuselah a run for his money! All because we are learning daily more about how to control diseate-and tfe, chemical- ly. Well, there may not be much truth in the details of his prophecy. But this much is certain. The im- possible today will come true to- morrow, “Some of us call it nature... But others call it God!” ‘Man or mountain...which is big- ger? Why does God bother with us at all? Size and time do not mean any- thing to God. The Bible says so. If you don’t believe it, zo out into your garden and look at the tiniest butterfly you can find. Did you ever see anything more exquisitely made? Or do you know anything more delicate? Or even consider the ladybug on your dress. Can you imagine the great eternal God taking time out of hurling a few worlds into space to make that graceful coloring? Our size is nothing...it is the spark of God in us that makes us worth dying for. Yet it is up to each one of us. + Shall we keep that God-spark a- live? All things work together for good. To them that tove God! Does this mean that people who love God will not have any sorrow, that they will not be hungry, sick, or unhappy? Not at all.

Bentley, of the District Juvenile Court, was guest speaker at the anna! get-to getier supper of the Vacation Bible Schoo! Workers, held at the Zion Baptist Church, Friday. “The annual cost of crime,” said Judge Bentley, “is more than the combined amount spent for schools, social agencies and churches, The hope of the future lies in more effort towerd the development. of schools, social agencies and the church, which by their protective and constructive work ean contri: bute powerfully to the decrease of ‘crime among juveniles, “In Washington and cther cities there are adjacent to business and ‘industrial districts crime areas ‘which are incubators for juvenile ‘delinquents, adolescent offenders and ultimately for seasoned erimi- nals, Surveys have been made of our city locating these ‘crime areas.’ The churches represented here must feel their responsibility and join with publie agencies in combating conditions within these areas.” Potent Factor Declaring court statistics show that many of the children convict- ed of crime never have any reli- gious training, Judge Bentley urged greater Sunday School work. She said: “Religious education not only affects delinquents but eradi- cates criminal tendencies. Your Sunday School is the most potent factor in a child's fife. It makes character and develops moral citi- zenship. It ig the bulwark of spir- itual responsibility of each succeed- ing generation.” Concluding, she cried, “The stronger the church, the better, the more pleasant, the freer from crime will be the community.” Accepts Challenge The Rey.

Law School - - History and Rating By WILLIAM E. TAYLOR (Continued from last week.) In September, 1928, the Howard Law School began both a three-year day school and a four-year night school. For the first time in its history, it also employed two full-time teachers. In September, 1929, the law school met the aforesaid requirements as to faculty by employing three full-time teachers. These three full-time men were Charles H. Houston, James C. Waters, Jr., and the present Acting Dean. At the same time, the law school also employed nine part-time teachers. Part time teachers: George Hales, William H. Houston, Judge James A. Cobb, Judge Fenton W. Booth, Dion S. Birney, Dale H. Drain, Gilbert L. Hall, Charles V. Imlay and Edward Stafford. In that year, for the first time in the history of the law school, the faculty contained an equal number of colored and white members—all of the full-time teachers, and Hayes, William Houston and Judge Cobb being colored; the others white. Since 1930, a majority of the faculty members have been colored. There are now seven colored and three white teachers. Four Full Time Teachers Built in 1885 was laid August 9, 1885, was, at that time, considered a memorial $t_0$ the one hundred thousand people then in the District. The most ardent friend of the project was the late Rev. J. G. Butler, then pastor and founder of the Luther Place Memorial Church, Fourteenth and Thomas Circle. The present pastor, Rev. V. Wiseman, was then a young man recently from the Lutheran Church in the Virgin Islands, a protege of the late Dr. Butler. He was given encouragement and assistance by the doctor and his congregation after his graduation from Howard University in 1884, and immediately devoted himself to the task of building up a Sunday School as well as a congregation. Today, the Rev. Mr. Wiseman is the oldest Lutheran minister of continuous service in the District and also one of the oldest members of the Maryland Synod. He was licensed at Taynetown, Md., with the class of nine young men from Gettysburg Theological Seminary, October A. 1884. DOUGLASS HOME TO BE WALLED IN DOUGLASS HOME TO BE WALLED IN CHICAGO (ANP)—Not the doining of new work, but the finishing of c'd, is the immediate aim of the National Association of Colored Women, according to Dr. Mary P. Waring, who returned here from Cleveland this week after being reelected to the presidency at the nineteenth biennial convention of the association. After describing the working contact which the organization has established with the N.A.A.C.P., the Urban League, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the National Council of Women and the National Federation of Women, Dr. Waring stated: "In 1916-1920 we acquired the Frederick Douglass home. The years 1924-1928 were those of the scholarship loan fund. Following this we began the purchase of headquarters property at 1114 O Street, Northwest, in Washington. "Rather than inaugurate new tasks in these uncertain times, I shall strive to finish the unfinished tasks of my predecessors. In the next two years we hope to lift the mortgage on the headquarters building in Washington, and a plan is in the making for the construction of a wall around the Frederick Douglass estate to protect it from trespassers." Seven invitations were extended to the association from cities which desired the 1937 convention. The invitation of Fort Worth, Texas, was accepted.

Since that time, 29 other women, both white and colored, have graduated from Howard Law School. Two women, Mrs. Branche Armwood Washington and Miss Ruby Johnson are now in the second year class. The prospects are that at least three other young women will enter the Howard Law School in September, 1935. Graduates Make Good Not only have white women taken advantage of the opportunities offered at the Howard Law School but white men have also received their legal training in this institution. Among the outstanding white graduates of this Law School were Miss Cynthia Cleveland and Judge G. W. Atkinson. Miss Cleveland, a niece of President Grover Cleveland, was graduated from the Howard Law School in 1899. Judge Atkinson, after receiving his law degree at Howard, had a most brilliant and enviable record in the public service. He was successfully U.S. Attorney and Governor of West Virginia, a member of Congress from West Virginia, and as Associate Justice of the U.C. Court of Claims. The fight of the Howard Law School for "a place in the sun" among the great law schools of the country was won in 1932. In the Spring of that year the Section on Legal Education of the American Bar Association placed Howard on the approved list of law schools. On December 28 of the same year, the Association of American Law Schools in its annual meeting at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, found the Howard Law School "duly qualified for membership in the Association" and unanimously elected it to membership therein. Hence, since 1932, the Howard Law School has stood in the front rank of the leading law schools in the country. A great history, rich in the services and sacrifices of its facilities and the accomplishments of its graduates are behind the Howard Law School; a greater future, it is believed beckons it on. Note: (In articles that will later appear in this paper, the writer will give a partial list of the eminent lawyers who have received their significance of membership in the Association of American Law Schools, and Approval by the Section on Leggal Education of the American Bar Association.)

Ans: While you were a guest at a party on Thursday night, a few days ago, you let it be known that you were carrying a few bills. A young fellow from out of town decided to find out for himself. You won't get the money back. .H. M. S.—Does my sweetheart love me? Ans.: You bet that Jessie B. considrs you as his girl. You are much too young to become excited about him for you both have many years of single life before you think of marriage. L. C.—What must I do about my work? Should I change jobs? Ans.: No. Stick where you are until fall begins, for you will receive a small raise in salary and it won't be necessary for you to change jobs for you won't find as good a job as you are on now. 1936 will prove more profitable for you than this year has been. M. E. L.—What should I do about the lot that I own in another state? Ans.: Hold on to the lot in Louisiana for it seems to me that you will be offered a good price for this property within the next few years. The lot is not worth much to you but it is worth keeping the taxes paid for you will eventually benefit from it. L. A. B.—Will the treatment that I am applying cure my ailment? Ans.: It is best that you go to a skin specialist and let him prescribe for the condition that exists on your hands for everything that you have applied seems to aggravate instead of heal the condition. This should be done right away. T. W.—Why am I unhappy? Ans.: Because you haven't been very successful in keeping a job when you land one.

The fight was begun an hour earlier because of threatening weather. As a result Levinsky's right, which was supposed to land flush on Louis's something, never did encounter anything but the vacant neutral corner from which porters had just swept the remains of the southside mighty one. A terrific left hook sent the King to the floor in the first 35 seconds of fighting. It was the beginning of the end. Levinsky scrambled to his feet without taking a count, but close observers saw that he was badly shaken. Cautiously, the Detroit lad felt out his opponent, lest he go in for the "kill" too soon. Satisfying himself that he was taking no undue chances the Bronzed Buddha took up the offensive. And what an offensive it was. In the next 60 seconds, Joe smacked the Kingfish with everything except the water bucket. After he had picked himself up from the canvas the fifth time, Levinsky mumbled something indistinguishable to Referee Norman McGarrary, white, and the latter stopped the fight. Louis was the winner on a technical knockout. BISON A.C. SEEKS A.T.A. MEMBERSHIP BISON A.C. SEEKS A.T.A. MEMBERSHIP Ora Washington, W.

NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD HUNTSVILLE COPS ANOTHER WIN IN WEEK-END PAIR Giants Top Trinidad Nine In Sunday Clash; Rain Stops Anacostia Battle The Huntsville Giants met two more opponents over the past week-end and added one of them to their list of victims for the year. They trimmed the Trinidad nine, 4-3 at Freeman's Park, Pomfret, on Sunday. Roy (Red) Powell toed the slab for the Huntsvilleans and hurled effectively despite the fact that he was touched for 9 hits. These were kept scattered until the ninth inning when the visitors bunched several of them and pushed over 3 runs. Gampton Puzzles Gampton, Trinidad flinger, was most baffling to the Giants. Only four hits were garnered off his delivery, but they were made the best of by Huntsville. The Tribute does not know what happened in the Saturday game with Anacostia, as the Huntsville reporter in turning in his score, showed a count of 1-0 in the box score and 0-0 in the score by innings. The game was halted in the sixth inning by rain.

(PERFECT FOOT CONTROL) AZTECS TO MEET HILLSDALES AT PARK SUNDAY Southwest Nine to Attempt to Even Score with Crumbling Champs A lingering dispute will be brought to a climax Sunday afternoon at Griffith Stadium, when the Hillsdale A.C. nine hooks up with the Aztec outfit for their second encounter this season. Fans hereabout have speculated pro and con about the outcome should the two teams be brought together agains. The 'Dales, in an earlier game, emerged victorious over the Southwest aggregation by a score of 6.3. This, being one of the first games of the season, and before either team had settled in its stride, was never accepted whole-heartedly by the Aztecs. They have felt that they did not acquit themselves as they would have had they not been called upon before they had solved problems of management, team roster and other details. 'Dales on Toboggan The LeDroit Parkers, who incidentally capped the local semi-pro bunting last year, have been taking their bumps ever since that victory. This has not escaped the attention of Aztec followers and the hue and cry that has gone up from the ranks of Southwest fandom practically forced the promoters, Joe Maxwell, Walter Johnson and Doug Smith, into staging another meeting. The Aztecs have been bowling over local opposition at the same time that the 'Dales have been cracking under the strain of stiff competition. Sunday's clash should go a long way toward deciding which of these two long time rivals is the better. Starting time has been set for 3:15 p.m., with a band concert preceding hostilities by half an hour Net Tourney Planned for Elk Covention Week Plans for the staging of a tennis tournament during the Elks' convention are underway, according to announcements by Ike Kendrick and Clyde Freeman, officials of the Walker Tennis Club of this city, early this week.

Georgetown Adds Another Victim to Growing List Led by Benny Ashford with 4 hits in 5 times at bat the Georgetown Athletics took the measure of the Anacostia Cubs, 13-6, in a game at Jackson Park, Colesville, Md.. last Sunday afternoon. Big Ed Brown toled the slab for the west-enders and handled himself gracefully despite the fact that he granted 11 hits. Brown fanned 12 Cub batters.

August 25; city volley Anacostia Right-Hander Stars As Team Splits With Baltimore Outfit BALTIMORE, Md.-Held to two measly hits by Big Ed Berry. Anacostia Athletics ace, the Silver Moon A.C. baseball team was forced to accept its first shutout since July 4, 1934, here at O'Donnell's Park, last Sunday afternoon. Berry hurled the District aggression to a 5-0 victory after the locals had scored an impressive 14-2 triumph in the first game of the Sabbath twin bill. The big Athletic right-hander had everything a pitcher desires when he took the mound for his nightcan assignment. He showed a blinding fast ball, a deceptive curve and a baffling change of pace, all of which contributed in standing the Moon swatsmiths on their collective heads. In the opening fracas, Manager Bill Reed and Art Beverly had been pumelled relentlessly by Silver Moon sticken, which made Berry's feat all the more acceptable to the Southeast crew. Fairmont Tigers Humbled By Deanwood Athletics Combining 23 hits with 7 errors by their opponents, the recently reorganized Deanwood Athletics literally annihilated the Fairmont Tigers on the Kenilworth grounds last Sunday afternoon. The score was 30-5. At no time did the Fairmont Heights outfit threaten their neighbors. The latter counted 5 runs in the first, 3 in the second and thereafter scored practically at will. Tidewater Giants Show Exceptional Form NEWPORT NEWS. Va.—The Tidewater Giants coped five out of six games during the past week, defeating the Wilson (N.C.) Braves, 5-1, after having bowed 12-10 in a Saturday doubleheader. In other games, the Giants defeated the Boston A.B.C.'s, 7-5 and 5-1, on Tuesday and Wednesday. And on Friday the locals shut out the Braves, 4-0. Sunday the Lackawanna Black Sox were halted by the one-sided score of 11-2. ball championship, August 21; softball championship playoffs, August 19-25; and the annual hobby show, August 30. Cardinals Enjoy Undisputed Possession of First Place As Bearcats Split The Cardinals moved into undisputed possession of first place in the Walker Stadium baseball league, being conducted under the auspices of the Community Centers Department, during the past week. The Southwest team captured their one game of the week while their closest rivals, the Stadium Bearcats split in their two games with the Forty Elks. The latter had an opportunity to improve their position, but failed when they dropped their Tuesday game to the Cates. In the other game the Willow Tree nine humbled the Glenarden Senators.

CHARLESTON WINS WEST PILOTSHIP Crawford Manager Heads Western All-Stars; East Picks McDonald CHICAGO, IL.—After exhausting pro and con arguments for the past ten days, Oscar Charleston finally won over C. W. "Cum" Posey as manager of the Western team for the East-West at Comiskey Park, August 11. Posey, manager and co-owner of the Homestead Grays was favored by requests from all parts of the circuit. Managers, players and independent park and club owners acted in behalf of the Homesteader but failed to get beyond the veteran Charleston, pilot of the Pittsburgh Crawfords. McDonald was a unanimous choice. His chief assets and qualifications are to be found in managing the Phila Stars to second half honors and the league pennant in 1934. Both selections have been confirmed by Commissioner Morton. In making up his dictionary, Webster added the word "lovely" for the benefit of future society editors.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Tri-State First Half to Orientals As Rajahs Trip LeDroit Tigers Southwest "Prides of the Point" Move Into Lead by Victories Over Cubs; Barnes, Addison Turn Back Smith Clan in Crucial Game A 12-run barrage in the eighth inning of the opening encounter wined out a 9-2 lead of the Elks and smothered them under the Trojan banner. Eddie Lawson, diminutive southpaw ace of the Fifteenth and Q Streets representatives, granted only 2 hits up to the fateful eight frame. But fortunately for the Warriors, Lawson blew up and his defense went blooey behind him at the same time that his opponents came to life. In the nightcap, L. Jenkins bested Sam Lacy. The former, showing a sharp-breaking curve and a crafty change of pace, took the long end of a 7-5 verdict. The Cardinals idled after the Columbia A.C., their scheduled opponents, withdrew from the league. It took the lowly Rajah-DePriest baseball team to upset the applecart of Cleo Smith's LeDroit Tigers and turn the Tri-State League topsy-turvy on the last day of play of the first half, last Sunday. The Potentates, tripped the Junglers, 9-8, in their first game, which was sufficient to ease the Smithmen out of first place and the Oriental Tigers into the first part flag. The Southwesterners, meanwhile, were on the long end of 9-0 and 14-4 scores in their pair of clashes with the Washington Cubs. A large crowd of fans looked on at the Twenty-sixth and Bennings Road proceedings as the elongated Slim Barnes took the mound against Jack Craig, portside speed-baller of the LeDoiters. The tail subway artist of the Northeast-erners did not go the full route, but when he left the slab he placed the responsibility of turning back the Jungle Cats in the hands of Gene Addison. The latter did the trick Threatens in Finale The far-east representatives threw another scare into the camp of the LeDroit Parkers in the nightcap when they suddenly came to life in the two final innings. A nipped rally and darkness, however, were the factors that cheated them of a tied count more than anything else. Lefty George Smith was pounded for 6 runs in the seventh after having held the Rajalas at bay throughout the first six frames. The rally, though was nipped 2 runs short of the Tiger total. At the close of the eighth when the Potentates had garnered the two markers necessary for a deadlock, Umpire Ducky Kemp declared it too dark to continue, his decision automatically reverting the game to the last even innning, thereby giving the Tigers a 9-7 decision. Orientals in Easy Wins Little can be said of the Oriental games against the Washington Cubs. The Prides of the Point had no worry whatever with the latest entrant into the circuit. Five runs in the fourth inning and eight more in the fifth just about clinched the final game of the twin bill after the Southwesterners had annexed a 9-0 victory in the first affair. The Tigers collected 17 hits in winning the final. Out at Sixtieth and Clay Streets, Northeast, the Forty Elks and the Trojans went through a hectic afternoon before a smattering of faithful fans. Termination of the day's bill found the antlered clan on the short end of 14-9 and 7-5 SOUTHEASTERN TO HOLD NET WORLD SPOTLIGHT Virginia State College Plans Big Things for Annual Tennis Event By THOMAS C. JERVAY PETERSBURG, Va. Officials of the eleventh annual Southeastern open tennis tournament to be held at Virginia State College from August 12 to 17, inclusive, predict the most successful meet in the history of the popular tournament. In inquiries and applications for accommodations, as well as reports from the tournament committee chairman, mean anything, this year's Southeastern will eclipse anything on record in the number of players of national prominence entered, in the keenness of competition for the beautiful trophies, and in the variety of the brilliant and alluring schedule of social events. Champions, runners-up, lesser lights, and upstarts will gather at the "College on the Hill," some to defend their laurels, while others will be on hand to learn more about the game. Many Stars Salient in the men's ranks will be Harmon Fitch, Johnson C. Smith University ace netman and second ranking ATA player, CIAA champion, as well as winner of the N. C. Open Meet, who will defend his singles crown, W. E. "Babes" Jones, former Morgan College athlete, Warren Weaver, defending junior singles champion, Hubert Eaton, Ted Thompson, the colorful McGriffes, father and son combination, Henry Williams, of New Jersey, Dr. E. D. Downing, and scores of other outstanding tennis players. The invincible Ora Washington, national singles champion, will lead the field of women players. Others who are expected to be present to add the usual color to the Southeastern are Lulu Ballard, former nationals singles champion, Anita Gant, of Washington, D.C. Dorothy Ewell of Chicago, and Mrs. S. W. Jones, of Winston-Salem N.C. Miss Ballard Promises Trouble It is predicted that Miss Washington, six times winner at the Southeastern meet, will run against a stiff opponent in Miss Ballard, who speculators say will attempt a come-back at the Southeastern. # RAJAHHS | | AB | H | R | LeDROITS | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Cash,3b. | 4 | 0 | 1 | Armstrong,ss. | 5 | 0 | | Dean,as. | 4 | 0 | 1 | Eowel,2b. | 5 | 0 | | Dean,as. | 4 | 0 | 1 | Fowell,1f. | 5 | 0 | | A.Johnson,rf. | 4 | 0 | 1 | C.Smith,3b. | 3 | 1 | | Leftwich,1b. | 6 | 3 | 1 | Coleman,1b. | 3 | 1 | | B.Johnson,1f. | 3 | 1 | 1 | Brown,rf. | 2 | 0 | | Morrine,c. | 3 | 1 | 1 | H.Fields,cf. | 3 | 0 | | H.Barnes,c. | 2 | 1 | 1 | J.Cohnson,c. | 3 | 0 | | Addison,p. | 2 | 1 | 0 | Oral,1g. | 5 | 10 | # ORIENTALS AB H R D.C.

A party had been given in Joe's honor at the Frogs Club, Wednesday night and it is said that "little Joe" spent most of his time there with Miss Bennie Mitchell, former chorus girl. During the charlity Joe and Miss Mitchell are said to have left the Frogs and went to the Plantation, the leading night spot here. Miss Roxborough and a bunch of friends also went to the Plantation where they encountered Joe and Miss Mitchell. It was when they were leaving, it is said, that someone threw a brick through the window of Joe's car. While Joe himself is not girl crazy, it seems that quite a few of the beauties here are giving the new heavyweight sensation a grand play. It is reported that Joe had only known Miss Mitchell a week, having been introduced to her by Freddie Guinyard at the "Cock Tail Hour" at the Club Plantation July 7. Cube Sign New Pair Ace Hopkins, formerly of the Glendales, and Blue Gilmore, ex-Turner, Station performer, have been signed by the Anacostia Cubs-Both are pitchers.

Too, the College's $150,000 dining hall will be at the disposal of the Southeastern. The Tournament Committee, headed by L. H.

Although university authorities have not made public the name of the man who will take Tyson's place as line coach during the coming football campaign. I will lay dollars to doughnuts with anyone who doubts my prediction that Joe Cole, D.C. youth, will get the berth.

NEW YORK (ANP)—Who's got Schmeling's contract? Never mind who's got that, listen to what the champ Jimmy Braddock says. "Joe Louis is the number one challenger and all the rest have got to come by him. And that's final." Well, that makes things a little bit different along the well known heavyweight battle front. Back from Germany comes Joe Jacobs, manager of the Teuton Schlager, with a kindly word for Jimmy Johnson of the Madison Square Garden and another kindly word for Mike Jacobs, head man of the Twentieth Century club. Meet Schmeling's Manager Both met Mr. Jacobs when he arrived in New York on the S. S. Manhattan, Thursday and separately and collectively, they collared Schmeling's manager and put the works on him. Jacobs said Max would meet Louis for a guarantee of 150 grand with a privilege of one third of the gate, provided the coin was deposited in a German bank as a guarantee. To this, Mr. Jacobs of the T.C.C. agreed, while Mr. Johnston demurred. And well might Mr. J. denur, for his gate for a Baer-Schmeling houl CHI PROMOTERS DICKERING FOR MAX SCHMELING Windy City Sporting Club Would Match German with Louis-Levinsky Winner CHICAGO, Ill. — The Sporting Club of Illinois, organized among the business and social leaders of Chicago a few weeks ago, for the purpose of bringing major sports attractions to Chicago, is wasting little time in getting into the heavyweight fight picture. Sensing an opportunity for another Chicago heavyweight extravaganza in the squabble between Mike Jacobs and Madison Square Garden as to whete; Max Schmeling will meet Joe Louis for one or the other in New York, president Shelton Clark of the Sporting Club of Illinois has instructed promoter Joe Foley to go after Schmeling to meet either Joe Louis or King Levinsky in Chicago in late September. Has Park Sewed Up Foley has secured options for late September dates at Comiskey Park, and with the setup already installed for the Louis Levinsky battle could stage a Schmeling fight with a minimum of difficulty. "Max Beer against the winner of the Louis-Levinsky battle is the fight I think would be best for Chicago," Foley declared yesterday. "But if Schmeling finds himself in the middle in New York, we are always willing to put him on in Chicago." Should Levinsky manage to beat Joe Louis when the two come together at Comiskey Park Wednesday night, the chance for a Schmeling-Levinsky match in Chicago would be greatly enhanced. $240,000. Therefore, where would the profit be? But Max Jacobs declared that both men would be satisfied with arrangements, although Mike Jacobs declares. Schmeling signed a secret contract to meet Louis after the recent fight. Well, it's all a merry mix-up, but Mike Jacobs isn't worrying at all, for if Maxie doesn't want to meet Joe, then he has other plans for the Brown Bomber which will be just as well, to hear Max tell it. Incidentally, the Commission has a—vowed September 11 for Jacobs at one of the outdoor arenas here for his next Louis fight and on that night, Harlem may stage another of its Joe Louis welcomes. No matter who the opponent is, Louis is scheduled to fight in New York again on September 11, unless some of the well laid plans go wrong, and it doesn't seem as if they will go wrong this time.

(ANP) — Battling Nelson, the old time lightweight, whose historic battles with Joe Gans form fighting lore, described over Radio Station WGN Sunday night his hardest fight. Oddly enough, he did not pick the Gans' bouts, one of which went 42 rounds. Bat remembered as his toughest foe one Christonker Columbus Brown, a colored fighter, whom he met at Hot Springs, Ark. "He knocked me down three times a round for 17 rounds," Nelson stated, "but in the 17th round I knocked him down twice and I made the last knockdown, which was the one which counted." Departmental Baseball Games in the Departmental Baseball League for the coming week are scheduled as follows: Friday—Post Office vs. Museum; Monday—Bureau of Engraving vs. Treasury; Tuesday—Agriculture vs. Government Printing Office; Wednesday—Bureau of Engraving vs. P.W.A.; and Thursday—Post Office vs. Treasury. Metcalfe Turns Back On European Track Tour MILWAUKEE.-Ralph Metcalfe, former Marquette University track and field star and Olympic champion, refused a trip to tour Europe with an all-star team during the fall, it was revealed late this week. Metcalfe let it be known that he did not have a desire to return overseas. He toured Europe in 1833 and the Orient last year. Busy Week Ahead for District as Three Night Games are Carded Grays and Crawfords Tie Up Tomorrow Night; Philly Stars Encounter Craws in Pair of Clashes Tuesday and Wednesday at Park Cum Posey's Homestead Grays and Gus Greenlee's Pittsburgh Crawfords will be the diamond outfits opposing one another when the lights are turned on at Griffith Stadium, tomorrow (Friday) night. Both teams are strong and stand high in the Negro National Baseball Association. The game will be a resumption of the July 8 clash between these same two teams. On that occasion, the Crawfords were on the long end of the score when rain halted hostilities. Fast baseball was on tap at the time and a large number of fans of both races went home disappointed when the contest was called in the sixth after the players had labored through five innings of a steady downpour. The Crawfords are managed by Oscar Charleston, premier Negro first baseman, and have included in their line-up a host of stars. Among them are Cool Papa Bell, Judy Johnson, Josh Gibson, Vic Harris, Lefty Matlock and Jimmie Crutchfield. HUGE ENTRY LIST IN PROSPECT FOR NET NATIONALS West Virginia State College Planning Gala Program for August 19-24 INSTITUTE, W. Va.—The nineteenth annual' championships of the American Tennis Association will be played on the courts of the West Virginia State College here during the week of August 19 to 24.

The first parton is Mrs. Emma Irving a school teacher of Raymond City, W. Va., whose subscription was received almost a year ago. With so large a list of patrons the attendance this year will probably reach the high mark. Five dormitories, Dawson Hall McCorke's Hall, Glascock Hall Gore Hall and Atkinson Hall will be available for the accommodation of the players and visitors for the week. For reservations, communicate with Prof. C. C. Hawkins, West Virginia State College Institute, W. Va. Fitch Winner of Tenth Southern Net Title TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. —The tenth annual tournament of the Southern Tennis Association was finished on the courts of the United States Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., here. Saturday, Harmon Fitch, national intercollegiate champion, and number 2 player nationally, defeated Ernest McCampbell of Tuskegee Institute in three sets, 6-4, 6-1, 6-1. This was a contest between the driving game as put on by McCampbell and severe chopping by Fitch. Many upsets occurred during the play. The first one of major importance was the defeat of Mrs. Agnes Lawson, of Prairie View State College, Prairie View, Texas, national grass court champion, by Mrs. Myrtle Cranson, of Fort Benning, Ga., in the women's singles, 6-3, 3-2, 6-7, 5- The teams of Mrs. Mrytle Cranson and Charles Penrose of Fort Benning, Ga., defeated Dr. R.

They defeated Mrs. Jessie Abbott and Miss Lula Ballard, of Tuskegee Institute in three sets, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. 150,000 Name Nation's Diamond Stars CHICAGO, Ill.—Tabulating the vote this year on the East-West game to be played at Comiskey Park, Chicago on August 11, it is revealed that over 150,000 persons in eighteen states made choices on complete teams or individual players. The heaviest mail came from Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. THIRTEEN ad for District as mes are Carded Up Tomorrow Night; Philly news in Pair of Clashes Wednesday at Park After their clash tomorrow (Friday) night with the Homestead Grays, the Pittsburgh Crawfords will return to the city to do battle with the Philadelphia Stars, 1934 champions of the Negro National Baseball Association. The teams are scheduled for two games in as many nights, Tuesday and Wednesday. With Manager Webster McDonald promising local fans an opportunity of seeing Slim Jones in action in one of the two games, Washington fandom is expected to turn out in large numbers. McDonald, himself, is likely to hurl the other contest for the Quaker Citans In addition to Webster McDonald, formerly manager of the Washington Pilots, the Philadelphia outfit includes Jud Wilson, a product of the District sandots, Dickie Seay, sensational second baseman, and Jake Stevens, probably one of the greatest fielding shortstops of all time. The slugging Bizz Mackey, all-round star, is also listed among the Philly crew which will do battle here. NEGRO NATIONAL CLUBS REVISE WEEK'S CARD East-West All-Star Tilt Cause of Action; Stars Maintain Lead Being compelled to give up many of their most valuable players to the East-West game, club owners have agreed to revise their schedules for August 10, 11, 12. Games between Phila. Stars and New York Cubans at New York and Philadelphia; Columbus and Chicago at Columbus have been postponed. Columbus will play Cincinnati Tigers at Cincinnati while the Cole crew take in the East-West game. Late efforts to rearrange the Brooklyn-Grays series have failed of a decision and this series looms as the only one not to be postponed. Approve Postponements The move to postpone or rule out these games has met with official sanction. With each club deprived of from two to six of their best men, it would be unfair to players, owners and the public to stage contests with these undermanned teams as representing full strength league clubs. It is also pointed out that the race is entirely too close for contests without full strength. Only one or two games separate each position and seven games between first and last place clubs. With such competition of this kind the closing days of the second half will no doubt bow the zenith of major league skill. Standing of Clubs W. L. Pct. xPhila.

'PRINCESS" TURNS OUT TO BE PLAIN HARLEM SINGER "Cousin" to Ethiopia's Emperor Fools Press of Nation NEW YORK CITY (UNP)—An ambitious publicity stunt centering around the "Ethiopian Princess" Rassari Heshla Tamanya who said she was a cousin of Emperor Haile Selassi crashed to earth here Thursday when reporters learned that the singer who has been ballyhooed as direct from Africa was really Mrs. Iselyn Harvey, of Harlem and the West Indies. Bejewelled and guidily dressed and under the suave management of Chappy Gardner, theatrical writer and well known Harlem figure. Mrs. Harvey registered one day last week at the exclusive Broadway Central Hotel in the Times Square district and summoned daily newspaper reporters to interview her and photograph her which they did. The reporters were told that the "Princess" had just landed from Ethiopia as a "good will" ambasador. Mrs. Harvey really does and does speak a number of foreign languages, but under the fire of reporters' questions the grand "Princess" build up was shattered. Harlem relief records showed that December 15, 1932 Mrs. Harvey applied for home relief. She and her daughter Doremus, 12, lived at 1890 Seventh Avenue, Harlem. She gave her occupation as an underwear operator. A year later she took on the "Princess" role and has become a familiar figure at white and colored concerts and is fairly well known in eastern musical circles. Ramon Novarro will next appear in "Royal Exchange," a British production. He has, also, turned author and producer and will release a play for South American distribution.

Republic "Chinatown Squad" Lyle Talbot Valerie Hobson The famous Chinatown Squad of the San Francisco police department plays a prominent part in "Chinatown Squad," one of the season's most exciting mystery dramas which will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre for the week beginning Friday. A picked force of men patrols this mysterious district, constituting a veritable city within a city, with a population of 15,000 Orientals. Tong war flares out on occasion, and the quarter has been the scene of many unsolved crimes. In "Chinatown Squad" a murder is committed in a Chinese cafe, and the story concerns the solution of the mysterious crime. An exceptional cast enacts the roles of the picture, including Lyle Talbot, Valerie Hobson, Hugh O'Connell, Andy Devine, Leslie Fenton and Henry Armetta. As a special added attraction supplementing the feature picture, Cab Calloway and his orchestra will be shown in their latest short subject "Jitter Bug Party." This is not a cartoon. Booker T.

Gene Stratton-Porter's "Laddie" will be shown at the Booker T Theatre for one week beginning Friday. In simple, yet most effective manner, "Laddie" hares the hearts of a boy and girl whose romance is a highlight of the dramatic tale, and with bold, vigorous, smashing strokes paints the unfolding battle that accompanies the youth's struggle for his heart's desire. Some critics have called the "Laddie" love theme the sweetest of all fiction romances. John Beal has the title role and Gloria Stuart is the "Princess." Other important roles are in the hands of Gloria Shea, Charlotte Henry, Donald Crisp, Willard Robertson, Dorothy Peterson and Virginia Wiedler as "Little Sister."

Accounted as one of the greatest character studies, and based on one of the most thrilling chapters in American history, "The Arizonian" affords Dix what he considers the finest role of his entire career. Two colored players have important roles in this picture. They are Etta McDaniels and Willie Best. Although the drama centers closely upon one character, roles of extraordinary power and human qualities are portrayed by Margot Grahame, Preston Foster, Louis Csehlman and James Bush. Having the mythical town of Silver City, Arizona, as its locale during the troubled days of the early '80s, "The Arizonaian" centers around the dramatic theme of the frontier marshal and his fight for law and order. Richard Dix is the fighting sheriff who has achieved a reputation for bringing peace to troubled sections of the West. When he arrives in Silver City to visit his brother he is immediately drafted into the town's service to clean out the bad men and crooked politicians infesting the place. Dix can well be called a composite of many of the famous marshals of the American frontier. Many of his exploits in the picture parallel historical facts which lend realism to the production.

The man's name is a closely guarded secret of the Massachusetts Memorial Hospital, but the story of his case appeared in the publication, Archives of Dermatology, as a description of "a case of vitiligo in a Negro, a fact which facilitates observation of the degree of pigmentary change present as a result of gold therapy." The patient is 28 years old and his malady began several years ago during a period of intense musical study, the article related.

In a re- cent campaign conducted under the Buspices of the Columbian Educa- tional Association among schoo: children ir. this city and other sec tions of the country over fifty thou- sand children contributed one pen- ny each, making a purse of over five hundred dollars, for the pur- Pose of improving the fifteen acres ef ground surrounding the Doug: lass Home.

FIGHT HERE (Continued from Page 1) Who asked you into this lit: tle private warfare? \ “Well,” said someone to me, “it's & matter of principle.” Yes? How about all che principles here in America which have been violated and which the Negro has swal- lowed, hook, line, and sinker, with a protest so feeble that it sounded {ike s squeak? | How about all the land whick has been “pilfered? from the American Negro, without anyone rallying to the cause and fighting the battle of “our black brothers?” Perhaps the American Ne- gro has never heard of the word loyalty, a little of which every man should have for the hand which feeds him. As long as the Negro enjoys the hospitality—and I see the Ne- fre doing so for a long time, in spite of his futile protests Against injustice, T just can't Picture twelve million Negroes voluntarily embarking for Ethi- +. which might happen if ie ballyhoo about “our coun- try” continues. Maybe the Justice Department may begin to believe it and start to deport a few Americanized Ethiopians . . . I say that as long as the Negro enjoys the hospital ity of these United States, this it his country—his loyalty must be tc her's. The Negro seems to be play: ing the old game of eating his cake and having it too—of trying to maintain his American rights and fight the batltes of his adoptec country at the same time, al though he knows that Americs Seeks to maintain its neutrality, The time may come when thi: fight becomes one of black against white. At the present time, one may sum up the American Ne grees’ interest by saying, crued ly, but truly, “What's it to you?” Black Widow Spider’s Bite Fatal to Orangeburg Boy ORANGEBURG, 5.C—The bite of a black widow spider was blameq by physicians for the death here last week of James Heyward, 6 years old.

One a-eek after the reconcilistion, the complainant avers, Goffney again became abu- sive and ordered her out of the house, telling her he did not want her any more. Since then, according to the wife, Goffney has become associat: ed with another woman. At times, Mrs. Goffney says, he has slurred and insulted her (Mrs. Goffney) while he was in the company o} the other woman. She further avers that Goffney has advised her he is no longer married to her. having obtained a divorce in Baltimore. This, Mrs Goffney declares, cannot be true because there is’ no jurisdiction the Msryand courts hold over their marriage.

WEEK ENDING AUGUST 10, 1935 Convention Month Is Here Washington will be host to some 200,000 visitors this month. The convention season will open with the Boy Scouts' Jamboree when more than 25,000 Scouts are expected here. Scout officials have assured us that there will be no segregation and that colored Scouts will be given the same consideration os others. Following this, the Shriners will bring another host of delegates and visitors, followed by the Elks with an estimated 100,000 visitors. Every effort will be made to assure these visitors cordial welcomes. There is much to be seen in this, the nation's capital. Washington is noted for its beautiful buildings, parks, thoroughfares and lovely and hospitable women. No other city in the world is better equipped to entertain such a large number. Washington will do itself proud in giving visitors a royal welcome this month. Virgin Islands Virgin Islanders were more than shocked when they learned that Lieutenant-Governor Lawrence W.

Virgin Islanders were more than shocked when they learned that Lieutenant-Governor Lawrence W. Cramer had been named by the President to succeed Governor Paul Pearson, who has been ousted. Of the two evils, most of the islanders actually prefer Pearson. The Colonial Council has informed President Roosevelt that they would rather have the return of the navy administration than to have Cramer as governor. Natives thought that with the ousting of Pearson, Cramer would automatically be let out with other members of Pearson's cabinet. A member of the council here in Washington testified before the Senate Territories and Insular Affairs Committee that Cramer was the "most hated official" on the islands. Rumors from the upper end of Pennsylvania Avenue hint that perhaps Cramer may receive a set-back. Inconsistent Jim-Crow It is unfortunate that some justices of the Supreme Court of the District to appoint trustees for various esail to recognize justice when it comes tates. Despite the fact that a Supreme Court justice was asked to name a prominent Negro attorney as trustee in an estate involving colored persons last week, the court appointed a white lawyer. This appointment would be perfectly all right if Negro lawyers were named to represent white estates; but this never happens. Equality is all right with most white persons when it puts cash into the hands of a white man, but it is hardly fair to repeatedly name white lawyers to represent Negro estates (especially when there are any number of competent colored members of the bar) and continue to refuse to appoint colored lawyers for white estates. If we must have jim-crow here, why not insist that whites be consistent about it, and not advocate equality when it puts a fee into a white man's hand, purely on what appears to be the color issue?

Instead of urging Russia to take a stand, Reds everywhere are insisting that every country in the world except Russia should "save Ethiopia" from the grasp of Italy. In the meantime the leaders of the Communist party in America have failed to answer a challenge from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, asking what stand will Russia take in this war of aggression by Italy.

Scranton, Pa., is reported to be the greatest hard coal center in the United States. In 1929, Pennsylvania was reputed to have wealth amounting to 32 billion dollars. According to population, this meant that the per capita wealth of the State was something more than $8,000.00. Perry W. Howard Stalwart Republican If the "Grand Old Party" ever succeeds in regaining ascendency it should and probably will reward Perry Howard's unswerving devotion by making him Dictator of the political fortunes of his group. I have acquired the quadrennial habit of querying Perry Howard on the eve of the ap proaching National election as to what appear he would make to the colored voters to hold their traditional allegiance to the "Grand Old Party." He has always assured me that ample, adequate and convincing appeal would be forthcoming in due time. Now Perry Howard is the Prime Minister of Negro Republicanism. He is as true, devoted and died-in-the-wool a partizan as any Republican that lives, white or black. If the "Grand Old Party" ever succeeds in regaining ascendency it should and probably will reward his unswerving devotion by making him Dictator of the political fortunes of his group. The present Mississippi National Committee man has taken time by the forelock and has issued the warning note to the "Grand Old Party" hemoaning the estrangement of their black allies and advising how to bring the aggrieved black brother back to the fold in 1936. He advises the "Grand Old Party" to elect as a standard bearer one who will command the enthusiastic support of the Negro vote upon which the party must rely for hope of victory. He does not specify any particular candidate. Ex-President Hoover is still titular head of the Republican Party but his name would make a very faint appeal to the colored voter who naturally enough, objects to being stung by the same bee twice. Of all the names now prominently mentioned to lead the forlorn hopes of the once mighty but now overwhelmed party, only one awakes any enthusiasm in Afro-America—Hon James W. Wadsworth who remains true to the faith of his father and to the faith of the fathers of the "Grand Old Party." But to pick a candidate too far in advance is to invite his defeat by concerted onsault of his rivals. Mr. Howard is forced to admit, though reluctantly, that the colored voters "in a large measure left the Republican Party" during the last decade.

HOOVER There is probably not another Negro of his prominence in the Nation who would agree with him in the assertion; "Personally I am satisfied that there was no justification for their desertion." His loyalty to his party can hardly be matched, no not in all Afro-America. It is crass partizanship of this arch-partizan which leads him to say that Mr. Roosevelt has not only failed the country but has failed the Negro in that he has done nothing that he promised to do. During the campaign Mr. Roosevelt was scrupulously careful not to make any extravagant promise to the Negro. He declared over and over again that he would be made part and parcel of the "New Deal" and would receive the consideration along with other "forgotten men." This promise has been kept with absolute fidelity. He has not isolated the Negro race nor given his special attention to group grievances, but every step in the "New Deal" has applied to all who fell within the given category without discrimination on account of race or color. (Dean Miller does not mention the Mitchell Bill which he endorses. This bill isolates the Negro as a separate class.—Ed.) Under the NRA codes the Negro did indeed suffer certain incidental hardships but this was due to the prejudice of employers and white workfolk, and not to administrative policy or purpose. Every instance of race discrimination that has been properly brought to the attention of the Administration has been properly adjusted as far as Administrative authority could affect it. While the Negro suffered it has been because of the misfortune of his lot and not by studied purpose of the Administration. There has been more kindly feeling and substantial expression of good will towards the Negro under President Roosevelt's administration than under those of Harding, Coolidge and Hoover.

SECRETARY IKES IS A VERY FINE MAN Colored indigents and unemployed have been given public work and relief out of all proportions to their numerical quota. They receive most where their need is greatest. Secretary Ickes in his statement before the Association for the Advancement of Colored People said that in the administration of the Public Work and Public Relief Funds there was absolutely no race discrimination. Perry Howard is honestly mistaken, that is as honestly mistaken as a politician can be, when he states that colored leaders who supported Roosevelt are dis appointed because they have been overlooked. There is less expression of dissapointment a mong Negro politicians and less criticism and condemnation by the Negro press, punit and other organs of public opinion than of any Administration during the past forty years. Of course no Administration can satisfy the claims and demands of dissapointed politicians white or black. I suggest to my friend, the diehard Republican exponent, that he should cast his mind backward and review the volume of condemnation and abuse heained upon the heads of Harding, Coolidge and Hoover during the closing years of their administration. assure him that he will find that in comparison with the mild murmuring against the present administration it would compare like a raging storm to a gentle zephyr.

SUGGESTS THAT HOWARD SEARCH THE RECORD Even an ardent partizan must not allow his enthusiasm to sweep him too far beyond the fact. When Mr. Howard says that Roosevelt has overlooked the Negro in appointments, he can only suggest that he follow the advice of Governor Al Smith and consult the record, Mr Roosevelt has appointed to office more colored men than his three Republican predecessors combined. He not only selected colored men for the important positions usually assigned the race—Recorder of Deeds, Minister to Liberia and Judge of the Municipal Court of Washington, D.C. and special Assistant to the Attorney General, but has also selected specially qualified Negroes as special assistants to the Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Commerce. The number of colored men filling positions under the "New Deal" requiring experience and expertise is out of all proportion to such ass Even an ardent partisan must not allow his enthusiasm to sweep him too far beyond the fact.

The number of colored men filling positions under the "New Deal" requiring experience and expertise is out of all proportion to such assignments in the history of the Government. Mr. Howard's slur on the colored experts appointed by President Roosevelt as Psalm-singing Rosenwald Workers is gratuitous, say the least. It has been the policy of President Roosevelt to fill the high places in the Government not with mere political incompetents who use the offices merely as a leafing place for political henchmen and party boosters, but he has insisted that every official under the Government, white or black, shall efficiently perform the function to which he has been assigned. On calmer reflection, I am sure Mr. Howard will wish to withdraw his insinuations against Julius Rosenwald, the superlative philanthropist whose benefaction to the colored race has been so bountiful. Complaints against the present Administration in that it has not ended the depression is indeed loud and strong, but this complaint comes from the privileged and powerful entrenched behind the breastworks of vested interest and not from the Negro who is but a fellow-sufferer in the misfortunes which have befallen the nation and the world. How Colored Americans May Help Abyssinia By CHARLES M. THOMAS “Behara-Oge-aziz” the country of the free man, as Abyssinia is known in Africa, indeed “stretches I agree with Mr. Howard in the hope that the Republican Party will select a candidate for 1936 that colored voters can enthusiastically help to elect. I hope that the Democratic party will do likewise. To this end the Republicans may have to look far and wide for such a candidate, while the Democrats have only to re-nominate the present incumbent of the White House.

Mul Abyssinia in ore resources for the talk in and in Eur Let the colored people of America not forget that many of the Italians living in this country are opposed to the excuseless attack which Mussolini is making on the people of Abyssinia. There are doubtless people in Italy who are likewise opposed to it, but we cannot hear from those in Italy. Il Duce will see to that. But we are going to hear from those in this country. The American League Against War and Fascism is seeing to that. The League planned for a Demonstration on Saturday, August 3, which took the form of a parade by colored people, Italians and others, and open-air meetings in the Italian section of the city. We are informed that this was no demonstration against the Italian people here, but was done with their co-operation. The parade and the speeches may not stop Mussolini, but the demonstration will do good both in America and in Europe. It will impress people with the fact that practically all the world, except that unfortunate part of it that is immediately within the power of the dictatorn abhors this savage attack by a military power on a peaceful and relatively unarmed people. Like the wolf who had pre-determined to devour the lamb. Mussolini has made up his own reasons and created his own grievances for attacking and sacking Abyssinia. When the lamb had answered every one of the wolf's charges and proven conclusively that he had committed no offense against that beast, the wolf shot back: "Anyhow, it was somebody like you,—maybe one of your kinfolk,"—and then pounced on the lamb before that statement could be disproven. Great Britain does not like the idea of Mussolini's further invasion of East Africa—not on Abyssinia's account but because of British interests. But the point is, that Britian is opposed to it. And they may do nothing to prevent it, because they also feel the need of Italy in the "balance" against Hitler in Europe and because they fear to drive Italy out of the League of Nations. France has probably sold out to Mussolini, so far as non-French Africa is concerned. And the French are not against Abyssinia; they are for the French. Mussolini is taking advantage of this pattern of conflicting interests to make a grab for Abyssinia. The dictator of Italy is a great imitator of the Caesars. He sinks to the lowest level of the old Caesars in this propected mass murder of an unoffending people. The first Caesar seized Egypt in order to possess himself of its gold pots. Mussolini will attempt to seize Abyssinia in order to exploit its people and its resources for the benefit of Fascist power in Italy and in Europe. The great nations of Europe are compromised by their own history and their self-seeking diplomacy. Japan has no political interest in Abyssinia, but Japan would undoubtedly be on England's side in whatever opposition England should decide to interpose against Italy. And the United States,—its state department is full of formalistic platitudes. It is well that the League Against War and Fascism at least demonstrated for human decency. Our Readers' Opinions Jesse O. Thomas bewails Negro's economic plight. To the Editor: The number of Negroes on relief has increased from 2,700,000 to 3,300,000 on May 1, 1935, and this is all out of proportion to the Negro population. Approximately 28 per cent of the Negro population, the largest single nation element, is on relief. The picture here painted is a gloomy one when we learn that the largest occupational group in the country is employed in the Emergency Relief program looking after the welfare of 26,000,000 people on relief. Neither of these groups are productive groups. In going back to the Negro situation, the most jobs Negroes have had were jobs that other people didn't want or need. Negroes have never developed an economic survival economy and a protective group economy and it is to be deplored that the educated group of Negroes had been educated away from rather than to the ballot box. "Smart" policemen are greater menace to traffic says N.A.A.C.P. secretary. To the Editor: Congratulations upon your editorial of last week on "The Traffic Drive." "Smart" policemen are a greater menace to the Washington public than many citizens who receive tickets for traffic violations. This type of policeman works a system through which he engages the service of a confederate to ply his trade. Last week a substantial citizen (who happens temporarily to be driving a taxi for a living) had a burly policeman jump on the running board of his taxi, strike him a vicious blow in the face, and curse him to all the names common to the vocabulary of a "red neck" policeman, then say, "go on." The policeman's companion on the scout car remarked, as the assault was taking place, "That's your second one tonight. I must get mine." Major Brown and Mr. Van Duzer could profitably put on a drive against this type of policemen. ```markdown ``` JESSE O. THOMAS. A. S. PINKETT, Branch Secretary National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. How Colored Americans May Help Abyssinia By CHARLES M. THOMAS "Behara-Oge-aziz" the country of the free man, as Abyssinia is known in Africa, indeed "stretches forth her hand to God." But according to that very Bible which is so highly prized because of its great age in that country, "the way to God is through service to man." That Abyssinia is a Christian nation, and has been for centuries, places upon her the burden of proving by acts in imitation of the founder of that faith, that she has absorbed and lives by that teaching. Unfortunately, like people else where in the world, Abyssinia has been satisfied with being herself "elect." She has not moved to that missionary spirit that would see this faith translated into works. She has not made life more bearable for others, nor done more than "work at worship." Colored Americans may aid Abysenia not by foolishly offering in hysteria to recruit for army service in a country full of the fiercest fighting men, women and children in the world, by but: (1) an intelligent interest in Africa as a whole, and (2) by a revival and reconstruction in their own religion. Some Facts About Africa Until recent years there were no exports of economic crops from Africa to world markets, but in the past 50 years there have been enormous developments in that respect. Commerce has been one of Africa's teachers; and trade has penetrated, lessons have been taught by contact with the White Man, consciously and unconsciously, helpful and destructive. In Cape Town, one African youth, educated first at a missionary school, and later by contact with life, led a strike among native workmen against conditions, hours and pay. Africa has 190 million horse-power in its water falls, but to date, only thirty-three thousand has been utilized and that in British and Belgian colonies. In 1932, the Union of South Africa (British, Dutch), exported twenty nine million dollars worth of fish alone, and the United States exported nineteen and a half million of its manufactured materials to British possessions and over two and a half million to Algeria; taking twelve and a half millions in raw materials in return. Prior to the coming of the European nations in response to the demands for goods which has led man to explore, conquer and settle the remotest corners of the globe, the African rested content within the vast riches of his own land. He fought, reproduced, died in countless numbers, manufactured or devised what he needed by ingenious methods and actually lived by methods we now claim as Communism. Trade introduced new methods, took their lands, forced the natives to labor, or captured and sold them as laborers, and exposed them to forms of behaviour different than their age-old customs. Few have been the colored American traders, occasional have been the colored American missionaries, but now we witness an hysterical outburst of enthusiasm to enlist in a war. Christianity Aids Country The spread of Christian religion over Africa in the past 50 years, has greatly reduced the loss and destruction of human life that was wasted in that continental sport. Like colored Americans here, the African spent his energy fighting each other when the whole of nature offered enemies of disease and disorder to be conquered. Like a well-known football player, he enthusiastically carried the ball into his own territory. Every African tribe had its own market and the capital of Abyssinia, the only city, is a great market with more than a million souls in the day time, but scarcely 10,000 after sun-set. Some Economic Aspects of African Conquest "Most of the troubles of the world arise, directly or indirectly, out of the desire to gain money or to gain power; which get down to the same powerful urge. If a nation has not the resources within its own boundaries to satisfy every need and to round out a national economy, it must either by war or by trade, supply the lack." Human needs are few and simple, food, clothing and shelter abundant to meet the demands of climate, hence the African and most peoples called savage have a "low standard of living." But the senses create desires for variety and quality and conditions of things, hence the influence of contact. The Crusades taught Europe far more about things it had never imagined than it did about religion, and the fruits of the Orient brought back to Eastern civilization by Marco Polo, set all Europe seeking a new way to such wealth. Human Nature Unchanged As strange as it may seem to one who does not think deeply, the discovery of America, revealed a land with everything men actually needed. Despite that affluence, America has steadily marched forward in conquest of new lands in all directions, and for new things all over the world. That urge to advance is due to the English "land hunger" aroused by the struggle to respond to the dynamics of population on an island. It has sent other nations on similar voyages, but none on a voyage with such results as have followed in America. Expansion into Africa came not from governments, but from pri- Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES There are two great bodies of workers in the United States, the majority of whom suffer today because of their lack of co-operation—the agricultural group and the Government employee. Miss Jessie Dell, president of the Department of Commerce No. 9, and a former Civil Service Commissioner, made the above statement in an address, sometime ago, to Public Health Service Lodge No. 41. She was emphasizing the importance of protective association. William (Bureau of Fisheries) Jackson, who recently resigned as Secretary-Treasurer of Lodge No. 20, of the A.F.G.E., is now working at two jobs This writer tried to get Jackson to agree with him on his contention that "Jim-Crow" Federal employee unions are no good but Jack chose not to answer. He admitted reservedly that mixed unions were more effective for its Negro members than "Jim Crow" unions, but was non-committal when I expounded my favorite theory which is that neither of the Federal employee organizations (the National Federation of Federal Employees headed by those two Negro haters, President Luther Steward and perennial secretary-treasurer, and the American Federation of Government Employees, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor with pussy-footing, compromising E. Claude Babcock as president and the mean-well-but-helpless-in-my position Secretary-Treasurer Miss Esther Penn) mean their Negro members much good. All they seem to be interested in is collection of dues and assessments. Progressive Lodges like NRA Lodge No. 91 (this is the one which made General Johnson reinstate John Donovan) and the newly organized FERA lodge mean something to their Negro members only because they have only a few intelligent Negro members like Leon Condoll in NRA and John W. Whitten in FERA, and because they disregard the national office. I would like to see all of the "Jim Crow" lodges organized into one big "Jim Crow" lodge. Then, I would like to see some militant legal minded man like Robert L. Vann of the Justice Department, Preston Harris of the Interior Department, William Hastie of the Interior Department, Robert H. Holley of the Department of Commerce, Winters of A.G.O. or young John Davis of the Labor Department, made president. (If what I hear of Lawrence Oxley's spineless behavior in connection with a recent attempt to break down discrimination in the Labor Department dining room is true; he is not the type of man I mean.). I would like then to see the personnel of the "Jim Crow" lodge have Louis (Department of Justice) Melingher, Captain (War Department) Epps, Mr. (Ex-Treasury Department) Munnerlyn, Othello (Bureau of Industrial Alcohol) Bartholomew and Morris (Congressional Library) Lewis, Jr., to give illustrated lectures on parliamentary law until each member became an authority on the subject. Then I would have the group to analyze the national constitutions of the two Federal employee groups (the A.F.G.E. and the N.F.F.E.). After this would have been learned satisfactorily, I would send out three or four members from the "Jim Crow" group to join the white locals or lodges in their respective departments to fight intelligently and militantly for some prearranged and thought objectives. I would keep the "Jim Crow" lodge active for a sort of finishing school before going to these lily white lodges. When these intelligently trained union-minded Negro members would have become sufficiently cognizant of the fact that their White-coworkers do not wish to discuss personnel problems with them on an intimate basis (which would not take very long) we could have a live branch of the N.A.A.C.P. I do not wish to reflect upon the past or present heads of the local branch so maybe I should say simply a lilier branch. A branch whose well publicized varied activities would be such as to make talk of organizing groups like the New Negro Alliance, the Progressive Consummers League or a Color Government Employee's separate group here superficial if not downright silly. Dr. William J. Thompkins, the $6,500 Recorder of Deeds, was one of the feature speakers of the Police-Firemen testimonial banquet, the brain child, of my very good friend and ex-school mate (He finished Howard University month before last) T. Dupont Georges. A friend, who attended, told the Newshawk that the "Roast Milk Fed Chicken with Dressing" tasted suspiciously like roast beef. I only heard, I was not there. Trezzvant (Post Office) Anderson, who for many years wrote the "Stroller" for the Afro and was a featured columnist for The Washington Tribune has, I am told, been named a candidate for editorship of the Postal Alliance. "Andy," my old tennis partner, was for a long while the Washington-Representative of the Associated Negro Press and along with Ralph Matthews and Louis (Justice Department) Lautier is one of the best newspapermen to frequent these parts. I personally hope he does not get the job, because he has too much crusading blood in him and has never had the idea sold to him that discretion is oftimes the better part of valor. If he gets the Job, I am going to subscribe to the Postal Alliance Magazine for there is much to be said about the way Negroes as a group are treated in the Post Office. Unless a second marriage has dampened his crusading ardor, I predict a wide circulation for the Postal Alliance Magazine, if Trezzvant Anderson is elected editor and I also predict Trez's resignation (either voluntary or otherwise) from the railway mail post he is now holding not more than three months after his first issue. My recently acquired wife (I hope I don't bore you with my wife as Elder Michaux does me with mention of his) has finally convinced me that a critic seldom succeeds who constantly criticizes the source of his income. Ethiopia's Phantom Army Ethiopia's Phantom Army Mussolini's Italian army will find itself fighting a phantom when it meets Emperor's Haile Selassie's warriors, according to Harold Pemberton, well known British correspondent who has recently returned from Ethiopia. According to the Associated Negro Press the British writer says: "Some say it will be a walk-over for Italy. Others express doubt—"One thing is certain. The war, if it comes, will not be fought on modern lines. It will be a battle between a phantom army and an army well equipped for a European war. "It would be a wise man who could forecast the result. The army of Italy is at present massed in the scorching plains of Eritrea and Italian Somaliland. "I imagine that if war is declared the first clash will come at Wal Wal, where there is a string of life-giving wells, some of which are held by Italy and some by Ethiopia. "The Italians should very quickly gain the lines of wells. "Ethiopia troops will put up a certain amount of resistance here They will also resist to some extent in Eritrea. Only Fools Would Fight in Plains "They will then disappear into the mountains, leaving the Italians to march across the burning desert land facing all the difficulties of disease and supplies with an ever-increasing line of communications vate initiative; from desire for gain and then for power. Africans are shrewd traders, but with few actual needs because of natural wealth, and few desires because of lack of contact. Discovery of gold and diamonds in temperate South Africa led to the same kind of rivalry among nations as did the discovery of America, but with different tools and machinery available. Only human nature remained unchanged. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL The. . . . Literary Alcove By ALPHEUS BUTLER --- open to sniping and direct attack. "No one but a fool would fight in the plains,' the Emperor told me, and his policy is sound. "The road to Addis Ababa, the capital, and ultimate conquest is strewn with difficulties for a European army. "It is true that water is to be had in the hills. It is true that you leave behind the heat and the disease of the desert land. "But it takes time to get acclimatized to the heights in which the Ethiopians are at home. "Some Europeans take a month to get used to the rarefied air at heights of 7,000 and 8,000 feet. Some take a year. A mile climb is agony without equipment. It will be a panting army that tries to force its way through the boulder-strewn mountains. "All the time it will be fighting an almost invisible army that can move from point to point with incredible swiftness. "It will be fighting men whose one ambition is to die in battle. Although Christians, the fighting men of Ethiopia are fatalists. All their sins are forgiven by the priests before they go into battle. Death in war is the direct road to heaven." They have their priests in the rearguard to comfort them. They have their women to tend to their needs. They have no problem of supply. Each soldier carries a small bag of dried beans that will feed him for at least a month. and Priests Present "He carries a knife which is used for picking thorns from his bare feet, or for cutting up animals that he catches and eats raw. The whole army, wives and priests included, can run for miles on and even in this mountainous country. "Hidden among the mountains they can vanish from one point and appear at another to renew the attack with incredible speed. "They are excellent shots, and excel at sniping. Those who have no rifles will fight with spears." Heavy casualties will not deter them. Of what use airplanes against this phantom army? Of what use tanks in this rocky land? "These are some of the problems that the Italian generals will have to face. "The modern mechanised army may win through. But it must be a slow business. "Every march forward will have to be made with large vanguards, rearguards and flank guards to prevent surprise. Heavy guards will have to be kept to protect the lines of communications. "And if airplanes, the eyes of the army, fail in the crazy heights, hundreds of men will have to be kept alert night and day in the deadly game of hide and seek at which the Ethiopian soldier is past master." A poet-friend of mine, writing under the name of Reginald Dare handed me these verses last week: DREAMS I'm not selling my deams today Just showing them to you. I'm not peddling my sighs away, I'm trying to make dreams true. I'm a-taking my dreams today Within a garden's walls Down beneath an elm-tree's shade Near a waterfall. I'm a-hiding from mundane eyes That try my dreams to break I'm a-hiding from vain course on Who would my secret take. I'm a-showing my dreams today To you alone, companion part So look into my eyes and see The essence of my heart.

DUCKETT AN OCCASIONAL COLUMN OF VERSE Very little religious poetry has appeared in "The Lyric Voice," and for one reason only—all we receive, however devout, has been consistently bad, as poetry. We leave our readers to judge our taste in giving these (to us) perfectly wrought little pieces by Kathryn Mills, a Washington poet of promise and accomplishment: TEARS By Kathryn Chandler Mills And these are all, globules of salt... Acrid, liquescent, chemical, Then nothing of the spiritual In bitter water to exalt.... And nothing in a soul-sick mood That tells of pain too deep for sound— The agony of an unseen wound To weld it to infinitude. Yes, it is all—this briny drip Is but the writhing of the jaw— The weakling's truce with natural law— The cynic curls the under lip. I spread them on the altar board As earnest of the God-in-man, To find a deeper, inner Plan Winding throne-ward to the Lord. This stinging flow, though lame, inept— The penace for a latent sin— May cleanse with pain and help to win Oneness with Him, Who also wept! BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER "Roll On, Pioneers" is an epic of the West. Here for the first time is realistically and truthfully told the drama of that packed mass of humanity—patricians, farmers, trappers, thieves, murderers and adventurers—who in the summer of '49 moved West to form a new civilization. This is a story of strong men and strong women: the Crumps and the Toddls, Bird Lawless, fearless Kate Lord and laughing Dick Benton. It is an unforgettable story of their struggle against the forces of nature, of storms and swollen rivers, of cholera and treacherous Indians, of thirst and starvation in the desert. It portrays their loves and hatreds on the way, and shows how with cruelty and brutality, combined with kindness, courage and unbelievable heroism, they carried on, defying disease, starvation and death with their heroic cry of the road: "Roll on! Roll on!" A fellow can get a heap of pleasure out of reading a light yet historical book such as is "Roll On, Pioneers." Get this book, find a cool spot, and you're in for a great story. Not until you have read the harrowing and moving desert scenes of the fourth section can you understand the price of human life that lies behind the history of San Francisco, Los Angeles and Hollywood.

Following upon the Kappa boatride was the outing of the Washington and Baltimore Chapters of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity at Benedict, Md. on Saturday. And did they have fun! It was a pleasure to see this group of business and professional men forget themselves and be again real boys enjoying an afternoon free from any business worries. The friends and relatives of the group present numbered over one-hundred fifty. A most interesting feature of the afternoon was the baseball game with Prof. Charles Williams, of Howard University, manager of one team against Jesse Lewis, managing the other team. After a barrage of hits and runs—the ball going in most every direction and runs unexpectedly being forced in by easy flies running wild, several skinned shins, grass stained trousers, stiff muscles and sore arms the game ended with Prof. Williams's team winning—but with only a slight margin. Card playing and bathing were indulged in until dinner hour. And oh boy! that dinner—half-chicken, crisp and brown, oyster fritters, fit for a king, crab cakes, corn, potatoes, beets, combination salads, rolls, ice tea and ice cream. During the serving of the dinner Attorney Lewis as master of ceremonies introduced each person at the table in a most interesting and unique manner, followed by short remarks by Prof. Huguley, of Howard University and Dr. W. A. Goodlee. After dinner, dancing featured the evening supplemented by an entertaining talent show when volunteers offered to perform for the group. The affair was the largest and best given by the group during the several years they have been offering this outing as an annual event. We gather from reports that a most colorful crowd was seen at Highland Beach last Sunday. The hotel with its new proprietress, Mrs. Alice West, is doing a wonderful business. The food is reported as very fine and a refined and cultured atmosphere prevails. The Saturday evening get-to-gethers or I might say dances are becoming quite popular and are drawing many from D.C.'s younger social set. After all, give Mrs. West a big hand and let's wish her well. She can be a great help to the villagers during these hot, sultry days as well as they are a help to her. Becoming more popular each day is the Tempo Choral Society with Dr. W. Scott Mayo, directing. A most representative crowd gathered on last Monday evening at the Sylvan Theatre on the Monument grounds and listened to the second concert given by this group of artists. It was most beautiful and inspiring and Dr. Mayo deserves great credit for his untiring efforts in keeping the group together and perfecting them in such a way as to make a splendid showing in the many public appearances which they have made.

Mrs. Sarah Weaver Vawter, formerly of this city, but now of Philadelphia, Pa., was the house guest of her sister and family. Mrs. Lyda Wyche Allen, 1824 Fourth Street, Northwest. --- Mrs. Natalie Cole Johnson, wife of Dr. Charles Johnson, of Newark, N.J., returned home after visiting her parents and brother, Mr. and Mrs. John F.

PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men Mrs. Unita Lewis of 711 Twelfth Street, Northeast, is writing the cunningest cards to her friends and all because they sent her a flower, an orange or something, when she was ill a couple of weeks ago. She's better quit that. The way she can write and the cute things she can say somebody will almost be hoping she gets sick again. ... Park Road's masculine fashion plate is at it again. He wisked proudly out the Avenue the other day looking ever so splendid in a handsome shantung suit. And those neckties he wears! You can wage. you, last thin dime that they are no hit-or-miss. Christmas gifts picked up by devoted female relations. On the contrary, Mr. Harold Jennifer (there, I've given him away, but you probably knew all the time that he was the man) must spend hours and hours rejecting, selecting neckties. Otherwise, how could he ever find those nifty blue ones with just the proper-sized, self-colored dots, or the gray ones with tiny stripes running all around 'em in clever criss-cross or diagonal number. --- It's funny how a pale pink dress (with a slip of a woman in it) starts the wheels of romance whirring in a great big bold man's heart. I've seen it tried. Did it myself once a twice. And it never fails. That is, of course, if the dress is fluffy and pale and pink enough and the lady knows her "Apple Sauce." If you keep your ears alert you'll hear wedding bells ringing soon and the dainty dainty (who got away with the trick as easy as "one, two, three") owes her happy victory to a fragile, pale pink dress. Even the warped old heart of a married man beats faster when confronted with that "pink" influence. Take Mr. Leon Galloway for instance. A month or so ago he led to the altar, cute little Theresa Washington of 25 R Street, Northwest. And at a pretty reception last Monday evening Theresa wore the loveliest kind of a pale pink trailing satin gown. And that Galloway man looked every minute of the evening as if he wanted to "pop the question" all over again. --- Smart Miss Elizabeth Neill gave her friends a break by rushing home from summer school in Chicago. Now watch the masculine line form on the right at 906 T Street, Northwest. ... Messrs. R. Todd Duncan, Frank Perkins, Tulley Holmes weren't available for the tennis match on the Howard University grounds, the other day so the Druid Hill Park team from Baltimore did a mean old trick and went home with a grin. ... The presence of Misses Helen and Edna West, nieces of Ven-High Hotel's proprietress adding a bit of ornamentation to the place. (Highland Beach). --- Smart Wasingtonians are still busy getting about. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Reed of T Street, enjoying the waves at Highland Beach. Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Washington, Mr. Washington's mother and his two young sisters taking a day out at Sparrows Beach. Dr. and Mrs. Brazier and their charming children, Elaine and Cecile, finding what a country dinner is like at Hood's Cottage, Ednor, Maryland. Messrs. Thurman Dotson, Perry Howard and others getting back from the Bar Association meeting in Tennessee. The J. Flipper Derricottes lingering longer. (Too bad Fisk University is closed and the former Elise Palmer can't see in operation the school where the name Derricotte is honored and revered.) ... The Mayos are filling the air with music. Mr. T. Curtis Mayo at the organ in the Second Baptist Church (the Rev. Hollomm, pastor) last Sunday and Dr. W. Scott Mayo directing fifty voices in an enjoyable program at the Sylvan Theatre on Monday evening. Dr. Richard Banks of 1241 Kenyon Street, Northwest, closed his well-appointed office, gathered up his slim wife, Lucille, their young daughter and Miss Jennifer Jennifer daughter of the Harold Jennifers (of Park Road) and (by means of a new motor car) for C.mp Atwater, Mass. Everybody thought it was to be simply a visit to the c.mp to leave the two very young ladies for a short sojourn and then a hurried trip back home. But latest reports show that Dr. and Mrs. Banks must have lost the msps that lead to home for they are still touring the East. If Columbia Lodge Elks were to go high-hat nobody could possibly blame 'em. For there's no way to keep them from knowing that every single passer-by slackens his pace and pauses a moment to admire the red canna lily beds that adorn the lawn of their Rhode Island Avenue home. Motorists, too, get a reving eve when they drive -- the beauty-filled place. Just the other day the driver of a big Buick drove right into my ancient Ford. Didn't do any damage, the Lizzie is already on its last legs (or raster wheels) from over-work and plain old age. But it never would have happened if the shining Buick's driver hadn't been bewitched by beds of canna lilies in Columbia Lodge's lawn. **** Looks like it's Sheepshead Bay, New York for Eleventh Street's vacationists this summer. Hardly had Mrs. Alveta Mened Clark of 2623 Eleventh Street, checked out of the popular resort when the Terry family (Dr. and Mrs. E. C. of 3217 Eleventh Street) moved in. --- Miss Wanda Gray, 1139 Nineteenth Street, president of the "Hollywood Celebrities" pleasure club looked ever so lovely at a fashionable affair the other night. Pink organdie billowed about her trim feet and a pink cornet adorned her head, while between from neck to hem were countless fluffy ruffles. --- Mr. Clay Wilson, popular young Howard University medical student spending his vacation in the Capital and probably wishing he could exchange some of D. C.'s torrid temperatures for his beloved California climate. ... It was like Ella (Mrs. W. T. Parker of 1709 First Street, Northwest) to think of such a thing. Arriving at Madison, Indiana late in the evening happy but tired after a motor trip from Washington, the natural impulse (for most of us at least) would have been to hurry into bed. But not so Mrs. Parker. She had left an anxious mother at home and so what did the lovely Ella do but "Long Distance" it to Washington over the telephone. (Note: Mrs. Parker finds the chauffeur on this Western jaunt moss interesting. Dr. William T. Parker, of course.) --- The only way Mrs. Estelle Menzigault of Jacksonville (who is visiting Mrs. Edna French of 1958 Second Street) will get back to Florida without a couple of broken places in both sides is for somebody to persuade Mrs. French to put away her humorous speeches till her charming guest goes home. Because, if the Second Street lady attempts to entertain her friend by being as funny as she can, Mrs. Manigault is sure to start her homeward way holding fast her sides.

Divine is a "faker and a fraud" in calling himself "God," according to a scathing defi hurled at him by the Prophet Kiawah Costonie, the New York Daily Mirror said Tuesday morning. Costonie dared Divine to prove he did not deserve these strong names by meeting the prophet in Costonie Temple on Atlantic Avenue this Sunday, Divine to prove then and there his claims to divinity. All the "miracles" of Divine were assailed and ridiculed by the 30-year-old prophet. Costonie admitted Monday that he deals in the things of the flesh and not the spirit. Such things as dollars and cer are more important to him than heavenly reward and immortality. The creed of Costonie is that the Negro shall be economically independent of the white man. When a guy says "You're tellin' me?" you are telling him more than he knows.

Some friends have mentioned that it was a fine idea, and that it actually worked in their homes. Of course some stated that the men of their homes assert that the kitchen is no place for boys and men. It does not take much imagination to visualize that if boys become proficient at the stove at home, they are on the road to good salaries as chefs or caterers. It is just a matter of foresight and preparedness. To those of you who were fortunate enough to arouse the masculine interest we refer you again to the Bond Bread Cook Book to some "desserts that almost make themselves."

(ANP)—Leaders of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union, composed of Negro and white sharecroppers, have recently made a seven-point demand upon planters in the cotton states where organization of the Union is proceeding apace, under the skillful direction of Ward Rodgers and E. B. McKinney. The seven points are: 1. That no sharecropper or laborer and his family, be without decent clothing, food, fuel and shelter. 2. That no sharecropper hereafter shall be overcharged for furnished goods or cheated and outfigured out of his weights and earnings. 3. That killings of sharecroppers be stopped and murderers arrested, tried and convicted under the death penalty. 4. That wages for cotton chopping be at the rate of 10 cents per hour. 5. That no sharecropper or his family have to die for want of medical attention 6. That the planters and the au- thorities respect the constitutional right of the sharecroppers to organi- zate, to freedom of speech and assembly and to the right of petition to the government for the redress of grievances; and that all terror, brutality and false imprisonment be stopped. 7. That hereafter the planters recognized the sharecropper union and the right of collective bargaining.

Appointment to Virgin Isles Governorship to be Opposed Tenth Lynching For Costigan-W Roosevelt Asked to Urge C ing Bill; Bailey Chal Can Prever "The tenth lynching of 1935 occurred at Louisburg, North Carolina, when a man, alleged to be insane, was put to death in the State of Senator Josiah W. Bailey, one of the most vociferous leaders of the filibuster against the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill. This is the fifth lynching since the filibusters succeeded in sidetracking the anti-lynching bill. Should Congress adjourn without acting against lynching it is probable and almost certain that human beings now alive will fall victims to mobs. Situation necessitates your urging upon Congress that it act without delay to pass Costigan-Wagner bill. --- SECOND SECTION PROGRAM TO MARK CLOSE OF SUMMER SCHOOLS MONDAY Play to Feature Dunbar Hi Exercises; Lawson to Speak at Garnet Exercises marking the close of summer vacation schools will be held at ten schools Monday, including the Dunbar High School and the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. The closing of the schools will increase Washington's army of vacationing children by nearly 3,600, according to figures released by Clarence O. Lewis, director of evening and summer schools. Latest figures showed an enrollment of 3,531 students in the vacation schools, 1,032 in the senior high school, 646 in the junior high school and 1,853 in the elementary schools. At one time during the six-week period the schools had an enrollment of 4,008 students—1,196 in the senior high school, 765 in the junior high school and 2,047 in the elementary schools. Impressive Exercises Impressive programs will feature the closing exercises at all of the institutions. At the Dunbar High School a one-act play, "Wienies for Wednesday," directed by Mrs. A. S. Gordon, will be the outstanding contribution. The cast will include Carl Williams, Ruth Roberts, Vernelle Fife, David Miller, Gladys Greenlow and Mildred Thurston. Miss Ruth E. Weatherless, principal, will make remarks. The Vacation Singers, accompanied by Miss Mary L. Europe, will render selections of Nathaniel Dett and J. Rosamond Johnson.

At the Bell and Giddings Schools joint exercises will be held with the Southwest Community House and the Southeast House respectively. CRAMER TO FACE FIGHT IN SENATE The Senate Territories Committee, Monday, approved the nomination of Lawrence W. Cramer, as Governor of the Virgin Islands. At least three influential members voted against the appointment, however, and promised to voice their objection on the Senate floor, the latter part of this week. Chairman Tydings disclosed a division in the committee vote and said he would make a short statement "of fact only" before the Senate. He declined to reveal those who opposed Cramer. Cramer, former Lieutenant Governor of St. Croix, Virgin Islands, was named by President Roosevelt to succeed former Governor Paul M. Pearson who was shifted to a new post in the Interior Department. Cramer was called the "most hated official" by Anselmo Fabio, member of the Colonial Council from St. Croix. Dr. Johnson Named Member of National Committee Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson president of Howard University, and Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the Bethune-Cookman College, Florida, were among the 34 persons named by President Roosevelt, Friday as a National Advisory Committee to the $50,000,000 National Youth Administration.

Miss.—Bodie Bates, accused of attempt to attack a 22-year-old white woman of Pittsboro. Saturday night, was lynched by a mob which stormed the Calhoun County jail, Sunday night, it was reported here today. The mob formed after the man had been arrested and overpowered an officer at the jail, taking the keys to the jail from him and seizing the prisoner. Bates was taken to a sparsely settled section of Calhoun County and was hanged from a bridge over Yalobusha River, where officers found his body. Sheriff Jack W. Powell said the young woman, an employee of a Pittsboro cafe, told him a man appeared at the window of her home after she had gone to bed Saturday night and demanded to be admitted to the house. She said she screamed and aroused neighbors, who came to her assistance, and the intruder then fled.

LEAGUE URGES MEN TO ENTER CLASSES FOUR DOTS INTERVIEWED BEFORE LONDON TRIP NEW YORK (ANP)—Announcement in the daily press to the effect that 1200 teachers will be instructed this summer in seven institutions in workers' education has prompted the Urban League to issue a statement advising young colored men and women interested in workers' education to strive to secure admittance in one of the training centres which have been created for the purpose of instructing teachers in this field. New York University, Ohio State University, Purdue University, Olivet College, the University of Wisconsin, Chicago University and the University of California have been designated as the institutions in which these courses will be given. The training is for six weeks, and relief pay of $15 to $18 per week will be given to those accepted for training. Dr. L. R. Alderman, director of the education division of the FERA, and Miss Hilda Smith, specialist in workers' education, are the supervisors of this program. Revives Demand Wagner Measure congress to Pass Anti-Lynch- enged to Prove State at Mob Law Our country cannot with good grace denounce barbarism in Nazi Germany as long as these mob outrages disgrace America." The telegram to Senator Bailey, one of the leaders in the filibuster which sidetracked the Costigan-Wagner bill in April, though 59 Senators were pledged to vote for the bill, read: "On April 26 you vigorously attack the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill and asserted that we need no incentive to do our duty in preventing lynching or punishing lynchers. Yesterday a mob in your own State at Louisburg, presented you and the State of North Carolina with a challenge to prove the truth of your statement of April 26. Thoughtful Americans, including many white citizens of North Carolina, do not believe that lynching can be stopped except by Federal action. The eyes of the world will be upon you and your State to see if you spoke truthfully when you filibustered against the Costigan-Wagner bill." --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING AUGUST 10, 1935 Washington Tribune All Four Are Natives of Washington.

MURRAY With already the "starting from the bottom" experience behind them, the Four Dots, Washington's latest radio sensation, are now on their way to the "big lights." The latest achievement made by the boys was as guest artists on a nationally-known beer program given over radio station WRC last week. The Dots have a regular spot over the station each Thursday afternoon. Starting off with three voices and a guitar, they became known in and about Washinton in house-circle circles. It wasn't until a later date that the boys added a piano player, thus making the name Four Dots. It was Willie Brown's idea that the name Four Dots be given the outfit. Interesting Nicknamse It is somewhat interesting to note the nicknames of the boys. Some of the titles were bestowed by themselves while others were given by admirers. Take for instance the M.C. of the organization. Willie Brown, who with his Louis Armstrong style of singing, adds much clowning to the boys. They call him "Bill." "Bill's a great M.C." says C. Lucien Skinner, the boys' new manager, and Jack Pepper, former husband of Ginger Rodgers, who is going to take the boys to London with him this fall. Also, there's Jerome Spriggs, the banjo plunker. They call him "Shorty." "Brother" is the title bestowed upon Henry Lewis, the dancer of the organization. Say, we can't forget "Toy," because he tickles the jivories.

Both the junior and senior choirs of the Mount Moriah Church rendered musical selections. Hundreds of condolences and messages of sympathy were received by the bereaved family. Among those read at the funeral service were expressions of sympathy from the Social Welfare Association, Community Cooperative Association of Claggett Street, Northeast, the senior choir of the Mount Morah Baptist; Church, the neighbors of Carrollburg Place, Southwest, and the Mount Moriah Sunday School. Miss Taylor, who resided at 2009 Claggett Street, Northeast, died at Freedmen's Hospital Friday after an illness which had kept her confined to a hospital bed for several weeks. Lincoln Hospital Grad Formerly a resident of Carroll- burg Place, Southwest, Miss Tay- lor was well known in Wash- ton. A native of the city, she was educated in the District public schools, was graduated from Dum- bar High School and later from the Lincoln Hospital for Nurses in New York City. The latter gradua- tion took place in February 1932. She had subsequently passed the New York State Board exami- mation for trained nurses, and was working locally at her profession when she was stricken several months ago. She was 26 years old. Surviving her are her parents, the Rev. and Mrs. Alexander Taylor lor of the Claggett Street address, a sister, Selina E. Taylor, and a brother, Malcolm J. Taylor.

New Deal Put of John Davis in Washingtonians Urge Color Starve; Stresses Un For Congress New Deal Put on Griddle by John Davis in Chicago Speech CHICAGO, (ANP) — Lashing out at the New Deal with facts, figures and potent phrases. John Preston Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee for National Recovery, with headquarters at Washington, pleaded before a key group of some 200 Chicagoans at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday evening for an assembly of all the Negro's strength of protest and of intelligence in a national Negro Congress to be held early in 1936. Equipped with probably a more intimate acquaintance with New Deal policies, plans and results as they affect the Negro than any other colored person, Davis severely arraigned the defunct NRA, the AAA, the so-called Rural Resettlement Administration, the Home Owners Loan Corporation, and similar governmental agencies, and the social security legislation, charging that the Negro citizen in nearly all the government programs is deliberately ignored and discriminated against. RAUD MOTHER OF 5 CHARGED WITH FRAUD Claim Parent Coerced Father in Making Will to Her a petition for caveat to block probation of the will of the late David J. Powell was filed by three of his children in the Supreme Court of the District this week. The will, filed February 8, this year, left the bulk of a valuable estate consisting of a home at 815 Twelfth Street, Northeast, and 101 shares of common stock of the D- Camp Consolidated Glass Casket Company, to his wife, Mrs. Mary R. Powell. Five children, Mrs. Mary Rhameau, Mrs. Gladys Reid, Mrs. Lillian P. Branch, James C. Powell and Samuel M. Powell, were each left seven shares of the stock and Mrs. Powell 66 shares and the property. Three of the children, James C. Powell, Samuel M. Powell and Mrs. Rhameau, claim the will is a fraud, contests its validity and allege that their father was not of sound mind when the instrument was made. Mrs. Reid, $ \alpha $ daughter who lives in Roanoke, Va., has waved her rights in the litigation and Mrs. Branch who lives in Thomas River, N. J., is said to be mentally incompetent. All of the other children reside in Washington. The children asked the court to have the case tried before a jury to determine the facts of the alleged will and $ \alpha $ collector be appointed to take charge of the estate until a further hearing. The will was dated December 18, 1929. The children alleged that their mother or some other person used coercion in obtaining the document. Attorney J. Franklin Wilson represents the three children who are protesting the authenticity of the will. Two Women Committed to St. Elizabeth Hospital Two women were committed to St. Elizabeth Hospital for mental treatment Friday in the District Supreme Court on recommendation of a jury before Justice Letts. Mrs. Carrie J. Foster was committed when a medical examiner from Galliger Hospital testified that the women had a habit of getting into cars and was in danger of doing harm to herself. Mrs. Augusta Long was ordered sent to the hospital for treatment when it was testified that she was of unsound mind. The woman is destitute. G. O. P.

Whiting, 2708 P Street, Northwest, had deserted his wife, moved all the family furniture from their home and rented the place without regard for her welfare, formed the basis of a suit for maintenance filed by Mrs. Lucille L. Whiting, 1514 U. Street, Northwest, in the District Supreme Court early this week. Dr. Whiting, for several years one of the city's leading chiropractors, was cited in a complaint filed by Attorney George A. Parker on behalf of Mrs. Whiting. According to the wife, the doctor and she lived together in peace and harmony for less than a year after their marriage in Alexandria in July, 1934. The bark hit the rocks early, she averrel, as she described how Dr. Whiting became suddenly indifferent and cold within seven months after taking the marital vows. Moved Out It was in February, Mrs. Whiting declares, that the first indication that all was not well began to show itself in her home. The venture went along, however until June 17, last, when Dr. Whiting brought men to the house and had the household furniture removed. Leaving her, Mrs. Whiting states, the doctor compelled her to seek shelter as best she could. For a time, she goes on, she slept on a mattress in the basement. Later, she moved to an upstairs room and made her bed on a cot. In addition to refusing to pay gas bills and other incidentals, the wife complains, Dr. Whiting came to the place and tore down booths she had set up in an effort to operate a beauty parlor, a business she resorted to for a means of living. Evicted Her Following this, the wife avers, her husband rented the house and ordered her to find a place elsewhere. But she sought and was granted permission to share a room with a woman tenant. On July 22, last, Mrs. Whiting asserts, the defendant came to the house with several men and evicted her. Mrs. Whiting declares that her husband own, the U Street property and that he receives approximately $50 per month from its rental. He is also otherwise employed 'she states and his salary reaches the neighborhood of $175. She declares she is unemployed. Dr. Whiting's age was given as 44, his wife's as 29.
