Cramer's appointment as governor of the Virgin Islands was approved by the Senate. Tuesday. In a statement, Cramer said he would begin a program of economy. Those who opposed Cramer took this to mean that he would "get, even" with those who fought his appointment in the islands. Cramer was confirmed by the Senate over opposition which demanded a return to naval administration rather than have the presidential nominee. The Colonial Council for St. Thomas and St. John stated in a message to President Roosevelt that they preferred death to the rule of Cramer, who is called "the most hated man in the islands."

Local police authorities located her early this wee... Edith who is said to be a problem child walked away from the camp with one dollar and a pocket knife in her possession. Miss C. Kehr of the Juvenile Protective Association, when questioned by a Tribune reporter, said that Edith had done something wrong at the camp and, in all probability, had run away because of that. She further stated that the little girl sincerely regretted her action. Continuing, the social worker declared that records of the association were as confidential as those of a doctor and information as to where the child had gone could not be released. "It is the purpose of the Association," she said, to build up moral character and aid children who have gotten off to a bad start in life. We regret that it was one of our wards who had to run away. However, we are trying to protect her from publicity and set her on the road to a normal, healthy life." Prophet "Blesses" a "Little Lamb" A NEW YORK CITY (UNP)—Prophet K. Costonie clashed with Father M. J. Divine when the latter almost accepted the prophet's challenge to debate at Costonie Temple in Brooklyn, Sunday. When Divine with 3,000 followers reached Costonie's threshold but failed to enter his tent, Costonie called him a "bald headed fake" and defied Divine to strike him dead. Costonie is shown blessing a follower in his tent. been quite successful in drawing a response from Divine, many believed he would not accept the challenge. Arrived with 3,000 But Divine riding in a Rolls Royce arrived at the head of a parade of 3,000 of his followers at about 1:45 p.m. at the temple, although the time set for the meeting had been 2 p.m. He had accepted the debate challenge flung by Costonie. Costonie himself, immaculate, and fearless, rolled up onto the temple lot at 2 p.m. passing through the Divine parade amid loud threats uttered by Divine followers.

Thirty women on snow-white horses followed the 'Father' in the parade and five thousand followers brought up the rear on foot and in cars. All of them sang the 'Father's praises and within the temple the warning cries of the Divine followers could be distinctly heard.

Dickinson Lettis in D.C. Supreme Court, Wednesday. Lee was recently named in a suit a divorce, brought by Mrs. Bessie Arrington Lee, his first wife. Mrs. Vashti Norwood Lee, 1637 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, his alleged second wife, was named correspondent.

Ruhland, District health officer, stated that the disease is by far the most outstanding health problem in the city. Transients were especially blamed by Dr. Ruhland as being responsible for spinal meningitis here. There have been 186 cases of meningitis here since Jan ary 1, 69 of this number, having been fatal. Dr. Ruhland pointed out that with the approach of winter an increase in the number of cases is expected. He said: Serious Menace "There is a serious menace to District residents in the increase of the disease. Something must be done to remove the source of the infection, which undoubtedly has been the transient camps." The health officer stated that transients should be discouraged from coming to the city seeking employment. With approximately 6.000 active cases of the white plague, under treatment in the District, Dr. Ruhland pointed out that an equal number of cases undoubtedly exist which are hidden from medical authorities. This opinion, he stated, is based on national statistics which indicate there are 20 active cases of the disease for every death reported from tuberculosis. There are approximately 600 deaths resulting from tuberculosis (See DEATH RATE, Page 3) TRIBUNE'S RADIO FEATURE LAUDED JOHN H.

Reid, white policeman, of the Fourth Precinct, by Mrs. Jessie Sterling, 56-year-old woman, of 507 Virginia Avenue, Southwest, by District Attorney Leslie C. Garnett were ignored by the grand jury in its report to Justice F. Dickinson Letts, of D. C. Supreme Court, Wednesday. Mrs. Sterling charged that she was "beat up" by Officer Reid, when he and another white police man, D. H. Mayo, arrested her the morning of July 4, on a charge of disorderly conduct. A few hours after her arrest, Mrs. Sterling exhibited a broken right arm, a black eye, bruises about her face and other parts of the body. Subsequently, in Police Court before Judge Robert N. Mattingly, she was fined on the charge. Judge Mattingly declared at the trial that he did not believe that she was hurt. "If she was," he said, "it happened when she fell on the steps as she entered the station house that morning." Notwithstanding the ignorance of the charge by the grand jury, the brutality charges will be called to the attention of the District Commissioners and Reid will be cited to the Police Trial Board. Attorney George C. Hayes is representing Mrs. Sterling.

The date for trial was set for August 28. The youth was arrested Wednesday on a disorderly conduct charge at Fourteenth and C Streets at which time bond was set at $300. He was represented by Attorney Thurman L. Dodson who stated that the boy was beaten by officers. According to Yates, he was charged by Private Thomas Smithson, white, of No. 5 Precinct Station, with spitting on the street. En route to the station he allegedly exchanged blows with the policeman. The boy's mother, Mrs. Ella Yates, was also struck and kicked by officers who arrived on the scene following a report that the boy was about to be rescued by friends. The mother and son were taken to a hospital where both were treated for injuries. Daily papers played up the heroism of the white policemen in "subduing" the boy. Attorney Dodson stated to TThe Tribune that he would have policeman Smithson charged with brutality. THEFT CHARGE IN MONTAGUE CASE NOLLE PROSSED Willie Ma Montague, 15-year-old girl, who was recently released from the D. C. Receiving Home on a writ of habeas corpus issued by Justice James M. Proctor in D. C. Supreme Court, was freed of the theft charge against her, Thursday, when the court was nolle prossed in Juvenile Court by Mae Holm, white, assistant corporation counsel. The young girl, accompanied by Mazie Botts and Helen Crawford, older companions, were arrested in March on charges of stealing two hats from a downtown department store. Sentenced to 6 Months When the Montague girl appeared in court, March 19, Judge Fay Bentley sentenced her to serve six months in the Receiving Home without giving her the benefit of counsel or a jury trial. The action caused widespread comment resulting in the subsequent release on the writ by Justice Proctor. The Supreme Court Justice declared she was never asked whether she elected to be tried by jury or by the Court. Following the release, Judge Bentley ordered the girl held for trial on May 23, last. On that date, a plea of former jeopardy was filed by attorneys or the little defendant. The plea was set for argument on June 6. Mae Holem, assistant corporation counsel, appeared and asked for a continuance. Several continuances were granted the Government but on July 2, the case was argued before Judge Bentley and the plea overruled on the ground that: "An acquittal before a court having no jurisdiction is like all proceedings in the case, absolutely void, and therefore no bar to subsequent indictment and trial in a court which has jurisdiction of the offense." Noted An Objection The defense noted an objection which was also overruled. At the new date for the trial, Thursday, the assistant corporation counsel set the case aside by nolle proseque thereby preventing the jeopardy plea from going to a higher court and leaving the question a mooted one. MERIDIAN, Miss. (ANP)—Injuries received when struck by an automobile driven by an unknown hit and run driver, caused the death of Excel Jones, 18-year-old youth here, Thursday morning.

FRANCIS RESIGNS AS PRESIDENT Trevanion Guy Is Newly Elected President of the Association (Special to the Tribune) HIGHLAND BEACH, Md. — Youth had its day Sunday when the younger set of this exclusive summer colony voted out every officer of the citizens' association, voted in members of their own group and out-maneuvered the older citizens to win the right to use the pavilion for recreation purposes. The pavilion, built some three years ago, has been closed most of the time. The citizens' association turned the building over to the commissioners, who appointed a pavilion committee to supervise affairs given in the building. A few dances have been held within the past few years, but all were failures. The victorious youngsters were led by Ulysses Wharton, Freeman Murray, Clinton Burka, John Francis, Jr., Lucille Wells and Leona Smith Dr. John Washington, town clerk and one of the few older residents opposed to certain phases of the new youth movement being launched here, was jeered when he told the youngsters that the pavilion belonged to the commissioners and could (See HIGHLAND BEACH, Pg. 2) Infantile Paralysis Spread Forces Change of Meeting The Northern Virginia Baptist Association that was to have held its session in Mt.

A| RIGHT TO LIVE AS MEN, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS. FOR THIS WE DEDICATE OUR LIVES. Police Win Ethiopia- Italo War in Jersey JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Police won the first battle of the Italo-Ethiopian war fought on New Jersey soil. Casualties were five and prisoners eleven. The battle at its height involved about 500 men, women and children, about equally divided between Italian and Negroes, plus all the police reserves of Jersey City. As nearly as police could learn, the issues were a mixture of Premier Mussolini versus Emperor Haile Selassie and Joe Louis versus Primo Carrera. Apparently the causes of the New Jersey war, like those of its Italo-Ethiopian counterpart in Africa, dated far back. The immediate overt act was easily established as a night Saturday night between a Negro and an Italian. The Negro said Joe Louis would whip Primo Carnera every day of the week and the Italian said Muscolini could lick Selassie twice before breakfast.

LEGION DENOUNCES LYNCHING South Carolinian Sought to Block Passage of Measure Two resolutions sponsored by the James Reese Europe Post No. 5 were introduced at the second session of the seventeenth annual convention of the American Legion, Department of the District of Columbia, on Friday, one endorsing a Federal anti-lynching law and advocating the enactment of a bill to abolish lynching and mob violence, and the second resolution advocating strict adherence to the merit system in the government without regard to race, creed or color. The convention assembled at the Mayflower Hotel was urged by a past commander of the department, Harlan Wood, of Columbia, S.C., to reject the resolution which advocated the abolishing of lynching. Past Commander Harlan Wood said he "opposed the adoption of the resolution on the grounds that it would be another intrusion of states' rights and individual liberties." He also said, "If we don't oppose the passage of these laws we will soon arrive at a situation where Washington will control even the baking of our biscuits." Heated argument resulted from the presentation of this resolution, and during the debate Past Commander George H. Rycraw, of the James Reese Europe Post No. 5, speaking in defense of this resolution, called the members' attention to the blot on American civilization as a result of the many lynchings which have occurred in the United States, and told them not to quiver but to vote for the adoption of this just resolution. Motion Passed Colonel West-A Hamilton, of the James E.

Hotel and restaurant men are considering an attack on the law's constitutionality. The measure passed both houses of the General Assembly with virtually no opposition. A few days later the House of Representatives received a resolution to recall the bill from the governor, but in the meantime be signed it. The act stipulates specifically there shall be no discrimination, among other places, in hotels, restaurants, saloons, confectioneries, soda fountains, drug stores, hospitals, bath houses, theatres, roof gardens, music halls, race courses, amusement and recreation parks, public libraries, kindergarten, primary and secondary schools and all public conveyances, such as street cars and busses. The penalty for violation is a fine of $11 to $500 and imprisonment of 30 to 90 days. The act provides neither the owner of places listed nor his employees may refuse equal rights. The hotel and restaurant men charge this provision is unconstitutional, saying an employee cannot be compelled to serve any person. 3,000 to Be Added to Jury Rolls in Georgia BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The Jefferson County Grand Jury Commission is getting ready to refill the jury rolls—three thousand Negro names will be placed in it this time. A small number of Negro names have been on the jury rolls for some years and many have been called from time to time. In the future Jefferson County will take no chance on having trouble with some conviction being turned down on account of there being no Negro names on the rolls from which the jurors are called. It is thought that many Negroes will excuse themselves when called but when they serve they will undoubtedly play their part without allowing their racial identity to play one way or the other. N. C.

MAPPED Begin Campaign to Lower White Plague Death Rate Expansion and reorganization of the District's forces engaged in a campaign for public health improvement were mapped out in more detailed form Tuesday by Health Officer George C. Ruhland. This work was stimulated by the act of the President Monday in signing the second deficiency appropriation bill, which carries the $45,000 item for expansion of preventive programs by the health office. A generalized nursing service will be put into operation soon, with 10 additional field nurses, as a result of this appropriation. The District now has 32 nurses, who operate on a specialized system. These, as well as the 10 additional nurses, will be assigned to sections of the city and will handle all kinds of cases within their areas. To Get an Assistant As a further move in strengthening the health department organization, Dr. Ruhland will employ a new assistant health officer, filling the vacancy created several months ago by the resignation of Dr. Edward J. Schwartz, and there will be an assistant and clerical help for Dr. Joseph A. Murphy, chief of the school medical inspection service. In connection with his plans for lowering the tuberculosis death rate and the prevalence of tuberculosis, Dr. Ruhland has started a survey of the total number of beds in private hospitals for the care of advanced cases of the white plague. A committee named for this purpose, in cooperation with the District Tuberculosis Association, is to make its first report Thursday morning. Committee Named Members of the group are: Mrs. Ernest R.

The league which meets monthly and presents prominent speakers to the community, holds its gatherings in the. "Y" auditorium. It had widely advertised the fact that Langston Hughes would speak on the subject, "Youth at the Crossroads," but when members of the YMCA board of management heard that Hughes was to speak in that Christian institution, they put their feet down hard upon the program. "Hughes is an atheist who has uttered unspeakable things and indignities against the church and Christianity" said a member of the board. "Why should we open our doors and give this communistic despoiler of our faith and creed sanctuary so as to better despoil our faith? I think every church in Christendom should turn its doo against him." TARBORO, N. C.

A home run into the right field stands with two men on made the slow jogging "Mule" Suttles, formerly of Washington Pilots, now of Chicago American Giants, the hero of the day.... and the savior of the Western team. Plenty Action The game was studded with action, color and dash. Hitting and fielding as never has been seen in this park in many a year. Nine pitching aces of the league parade ed before the fans in the three and one half hour game, showing some of the best hurling ever. Eighteen men chosen by 150,000 fans all over the country, made the East West game one of the major attractions of all times. There was action and excitement galore. Dihigo, New York Cubans, playing centerfield for the East was knocked out as he ran against the centerfield wall trying to catch Josh Gibson's long double. The game was delayed for ten minutes. Crutchfield, right fielder for the Crawfords, determined to put a scoring threat to an end, caught a drive in his bare hand and drew rounds of applause from the stands. Jones Slams Homer "Slim" Jones, late of the Philly Stars, last year's league champions, retired in the fourth but before doing so thrilled the fans by knocking the ball into the right field stands, at almost the same place where seven innings later Suttles won the game. The weather was perfect, and from the press box, the beautiful green of the diamond, the white baselines and the cheering, happy throng, decked in their Sunday best, made a perfect picture as the drama of struggling Negro baseball was, unfolded before them to prove that they are among the best if not the best diamond figures in the world. Joe Louis, the sensational heavyweight from Detroit was scheduled to be one of the honored guests at the park. His plane in Detroit was delayed for some unknown reason and he did not make the game in time. # START.

GEORG'TOWN BOWS AS HUNTSVILLE SCORES AGAIN Local Outfit Defeated in Hot Battle; Frazier, Carter in Duel Two fast traveling teams met at Freeman's Park, Pomfret, Md, last Sunday afternoon and, as was to be expected, a hotly contested game was in the making. A winning streak that threatens to sweep all titular claims in² the discard was continued as the Huntsville Giants took the measure of the Georgetown Athletics, 6-3. Although 3 runs separated the two contestants at the close of the afternoon, this was by no means an indication of the tightness of the game nor of the pitching duel that was in order. Bus Frazer, west-end ace, was bested simply because his defense faltered at a crucial moment. Errors Fatal Frazier was troubled by a pair of errors on the part of his mates. This was no more nor less than the treatment accorded Lefty Bob Carter, his adversary on the firing hill. But Frazier watched the miscues behind occur in a 5-run second inning of his opponents. The bobbles behind Carter's pitching were neither bunched nor telling. The portside had somewhat the best of the argument all the way around. Make no mistake about that. But Frazier, facing another hurler might have fared better. The former gave up 6 hits and fanned 7. The latter was touched for 9 hits and struck out 5. George Ford, with 3 hits in as many times at bat, led the winners. The two hits apiece by Clarke and Davis were Georgetown's best offensive efforts.

Turner, white, daddy of wrestling in the District of Columbia and the city's leading boxing promoter, has taken a liking to the more serious-minded colored fighters, it was revealed late last week. Turner signed Gene Buffalo, the up and coming young welterweight who has gained the favor of local fans in several showings here, for a right on his Joe Smallwood-Ken Overlin card, Monday night at the Stadium. Buffalo will meet Sammy Blackburne, welterweight star of Chester, Pa. Buffalo has met several good men here in the past 18 months, all of whom have taken sound troncings from the Philadelphia windmill. His last victory was over Meyer Rowan, crack young New York scraper.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING AUGUST 17, 1935. Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune You seem to have some personal grudge against those "downtown writers." Each and every week you attack them because they said this or that, about some colored athlete. I read those writers every day and have failed, so far, to find anything offensive in their columnus. What they say about colored athletes, they will say about white ones and vice verse. But you let little things worry you, and those fellows "downtown" must get a big kick out of what you say in reply. Bob Considine's "joke" about the Lincoln A. C. Club was true. Kid Chocolate was no fighter at all when he appeared here. He gave a bum performance because he could do no better. If he had still been a ranking A-1 fighter, he never would have appeared here. You and a lot of other fight fans of this city had never seen a real fightér, and so you thought "the Kid was great." Shirley Povich is one of the fairest sports writers in this city. (We do agree on something, tsh. tsh. S. L.) Because he does not fill his column with beautiful words about every colored athlete that comes along, you call him "another one of them . . ." You do not know him. I doubt if you ever saw him and I know you never talked with him. In fact, you don't know any of those men. I have seen letters appear in both Considine's and Povich's columns. They were offensive to them and were obviously written by Negroes. I wish I could say the same thing about you and that pillar over which you are dictator. I advise you to quit jumping at conclusions and set your house in order. Because you are chicken-hearted, please do not expect everyone to be the same way. Everybody does not have to think Joe Louis is the greatest fighter that ever lived simply because you think so. Jesse Owens and Peacock are just two more good sprinters, but by no means "the greatest that ever lived," as you would have it. Paddock and Nurmi still stand out. I can think of but one Negro baseball player capable of making the grade in the big leagues, and he is Rapp Dixon, of the Brooklyn Eagles. The others could be substitutes on a second-division club. If it is a personal "fight" you fellows are having, the public is not interested. And, anyway, you will never get your name in their columns, no matter how much you wring and twist.

Shephard had previously gained privileges on the bases with a scratch hit through the infield. Ties Score in Ninth An anti-climax to the 'Dales' winning rally came in the ninth when the White-managed crew pushed across the tying run after the Aztecs had dissipated a one-run advantage in the eighth on a couple of wild heaves. Runt White gained a free base when one of Harry Jackson's fast shoots brushed him on the hip. Toots Brown walked to put the tying and winning runs on the paths, however, only the tying tally crossed the path as Wender Harris at second made two sensational running catches to halt the blows of Williams and Ernie Johnson. White stole second and scored with the seventh run on a wild heave that rolled into the outer garden. In the Astecs' half of the tenth a fast double play. Script Lee, who relieved Spike Bland on the mound in the ninth, to White to Price halted a would-be rally. Then, the 'Dales came to bat and staged the victorious batting spree. Henderson Wild Slim Henderson, a new find, started on the hill for the South-west lads but soon gave way to the youthful Harry Jackson, the latter hurling masterfully until the fatal tenth. Henderson, pitching in the park for his first time, was wild from the start giving up three runs on a lone hit, two walks and hit batter before one man was JAMES DODSON 1731 Thirteenth Street. N. W.

The Aztecs outhit the Dales by five blows but lost opportunities to score by bad base running. Faulty fielding which resulted in a total of seven errors being officially registered against them failed to aid them defensively. # ATEZCS AB H R Clark. as. 1 5 1 Fennell. ib. 4 1 0 Harris. 3b. 5 3 Price. 1b. 4 0 1 R.Brown. ib. 2 2 White. 2b. 2 0 2 Tilman. 3b. 4 1 G.Brown. rf. 3 0 1 Scott. c. 3 2 Williams. il. 5 2 1 Brooks. rf. 2 0 Johnson. 3b. 5 1 1 Belf. ib. 2 0 Johnson. 3b. 5 1 1 Colding. c. 3 1 Wright. c. 1 0 0 Duffy. rf. 2 0 Bland. p. 4 1 0 Butler. ib. 2 1 Lee. p. 1 1 0 Henderson. p. 2 1 Sush. p. 1 0 0 Jackson. p. 4 1 1 Totals. 88 12 7 Totals. 38 7 8 Autes. 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 3 0 7 'Dales. 8 0 0 0 0 0 8 1 1 8 Two-base hits.

ART LASKY SAYS HE STILL WANTS LOUIS FIGHT Jim Braddock's Stepping Stone One of Three to Challenge the Bomber CHICAGO (ANP)—Three heavyweights climbed into the ring last Wednesday night and challenged the winner of the Louis-Levinsky scrap to a fight. They were Art Lasky, former, contender against Max Baer; Ford Smith, who knocked out Lasky out west, and Johnny Risko, the Cleveland baker boy. After the fight, Lasky was interviewed at the Morrison Hotel. He was first asked if he still wanted Louis. "Why-er, yes," he answered with some hesitation, but plenty of assurance. No Detroit Fight He then explained that his manager was upstairs trying to arrive a fight, but that they wanted him to fight in Detroit. Lasky was conscious of the fact that a Detroit fight would class him as a second-rater. "We don't want Detroit," he stated. "Either New York (where Braddock whipped Lasky) or Chicago, neutral ground. I wouldn't want to fight him in Los Angeles because everything would be in my favor there, nor in Detroit where the odds would favor him." With the Baer bout signed up, it looks like Lasky will have to wait until next spring when Joe tunes up for Braddock. AQUATIC STARS TO VIE FOR HONORS AQUATIC STARS TO VIE FOR HONORS Winners in Tuesday Night's Meet Will Represent D.C. in Big Meet The coming triangular swimming meet between the representatives of the Francis Swimming Pools, the Mott Swimming Pools, and the Banneker Pools, scheduled for Tuesday night, will determine the team that will represent the Welfare and Recreational Association of Public Buildings and Grounds in their annual A.

Y., in 1933; Ernest Marshall, whose six feet seven inches sent him to a new pool record in the 100-yard free style swim last year at the Banneker Pool, and Lloyd Drew and Edwin Bruce whose aquatic performances may mean the bringing of the Medley Relay Cup back to the Banneker Pools, from Pittsburgh. In the girls' events there will be the petite Audrey Starks, whose past performances against the watch makes her look like a sure winner in more than one event. With Estelle Bryant, Lillian Thomas, Valerie Kendrick and Miss Starks, Francis will present one of the best girls' relay teams in the District. The triangular meet is scheduled for 8 p.m. The officials will be members of the W and A. A. and playground staffs. There will be no diving in the triangular meet.

Va.—The LeDroit Tigers baseball team even- ed the score with the Tidewater Giants, local prides, here last week- end as they returned to the seas- shore and coped three straight verdicts in decisive fashion A double defeat at the hands of the Virginians was avenged as the Washington diamonders took a 10-6 Friday encounter and then came back Saturday to score a twin victory by scores of 8-1 and 14-1. Get 19 Hits Craig and Lee were the Tiger flingers in the Fishday fracas and gained the better end of the battle by virtue of superior hitting on the part of their mates. Nineteen hits rained off the bits of the invaders in that opening game, and the bewildered Giants had little to offer in retaliation after their first two innings. In Saturday's bargain bill, Roy Powell and Jack Craig collaborated to hand the Giants a twin trimming that they are not likely to forget in some days to come. Powell Craig Score Powell spread 6 hit out over the 9-inning route and held the locals at bay after a first inning in which they counted their lone tally. Meanwhile the LeDroit batters, led by Brown newly signed catcher, were gathering 14 bingles off the offerings of Smith. Craig took the hill in the finale and pitched superbly despite the fact that the early lead given him by his mates made this unnecessary. Five runs in their second and 8 more in the fifth put the Capital Cityans so far in front that the game was no contest after the two initial innings.

BULLETIN The Tri-State Baseball League is still playing off its postponed games of the first half, it was announced yesterday (Wednesday) by Charles (Flash) Robeson, secretary of the league. Whether or not there will be a second half has not as yet been decided, he added. This brings about a change in status of the teams. The LeDroit Tigers, as a result, are not yet winners of the title. One week atop the Tri-State Baseball League evidently took something out of the Oriental Tigers, for Sunday's play-off games with two teams completely out of the running for the title, proved to be their undoing. The Elks snapped out of their listless playing long enough to put a crimp into the Southwesterners' championship hopes by a score of 7-3. This was the first of a pair of swing games on the Orientals' Sabbath program. A short time later, the Cardinals journeyed to Second and R Streets, after having dropped an earlier game to the LeDroit Tigers, 18-6. They took the Orientals into camp, the score being 7-6. Meanwhile the LeDroiters were enjoying a field day with the same two teams, and by victories over both regained the league leadership on the last day of play. Cleo Smith's Jungaleers were pounding out their one-sided victory over the Birds. And while the Cardinals were doing their bit on the Southwest diamond, the LeDroits were defeating the Elks by the score of 7-3. Lawson Stands Out Eddie Lawson, diminutive south-paw ace of the horned clan, was the star of the Elks' victory over the Orientals. He held his opponents well in check and was cheated of a shut-out only by wobbly support afield. The same lad attempted an ironman stunt by taking the hill against the LeDroit Park clan, but gave way to Sam Lacy ere long. The Tigers had two big innings, a 2-run first frame and a 5-run third, and their quota was complete for the afternoon. piece for the LeDroiters in the nightcap hurling shut-out ball into the final stanza, when his opponents pushed over 3 runs.

SAMUEL HUESTON TRAINER OF RACE HORSES, IS DEAD Father of Judge Hueston Commissioner of Education of Elks Samuel Hueston, last of a line of great horse trainers, died suddenly at his home in Paris, Ky., Monday after a brief illness. He is the father of Judge William C. Hueston, commissioner of education of the Elks, who left this week to attend the funeral. Mr. Hueston was born in Jackson, Miss., in 1849. Prior to his retirement five years ago he had charge of the stock farm and was trainer for A. B. Hancock, famous breeder of horses. He was the last of the great school of horse traders and trainers which was composed of such men as Richard (Dick) Brown, Raleigh Colston, Sr. and Jr., Lee Christy, Col. Charles Anderson and Abe Perry. Mr. Hueston aided in the training of Aristides, known as the "Little Red Horse" and the first winner of the Kentucky Derby in 1875. He also trained such horses as Chespakee, Spendthrift, Kingston and many others. He has been employed by such well known turfmen as Foxhall, Keene, Brice McGrath and Col, Jack Chinn. He went to England in 1894 where for ten years he was the first trainer for Lord Rosebud, one of England's greatest turfmen. Funeral service will be held Thursday at Paris, and interment will be in Lexington where he lived for many years. Mr. Hueston was a member and deacon of the First Baptist Church. He is also survived by his widow. Mrs. Bettie Hueston who is 80 years old.

All Sections Some of the more prominent players entered are: From the South, Harmon Fitch, runner-up in Men's Singles last year. The Russell Brothers, of West Palm Beach Fla., who promise to be a threat for the title this year, Dr. J. B Garrett, of Tuskegee, Drs. Elwood and L. C. Downing, Dr. J. L.

The opening encounter is slated to get underway at 2 p.m. with a band concert preceding the diamond activities. The Red Caps, products of Philadelphia, Pa., are the cream of the up-State baseball semi-pronines having amassed an outstanding record throughout the season. The Carolinians are well known to local fandom having exhibited a stellar brand of baseball here on several past occasions. The Red Sox are regarded as champions of North Carolina. The opposing teams represent their respective States in an elimination tournament, the finals of which are to be played in September. Georgetown and Aztecs Prime for Battle A. meeting that may have an important bearing on titular claims of local baseball teams will take place at Jackson Park, Colesville, Md.; Sunday afternoon when the Georgetown Athletic and Axtec A.C. nines lock horns. The west-enders have been smacking over opposition left and right under the management of Lefty Whitlock and are pointing toward the city championship. Their victories over the Hillsdale are taken to mean much in semi-pro ranks. But the Southwest aggregation insists it is not out of the running and intends to prove it Sunday. The first game is set for 1:30 p.m. youngsters who gave Miss Washington such a battle last year only to be forced to retire on account of cramps in her leg. The South is landing the praises of Lulu Ballard, for they believe that with this year's coaching of Coach Abbott at Tuskegee that she will regain the laurels she lost in 1929. Thus the women's singles will probably have more competition than in many a year. Do not for a moment forget that Mrs Frances Gittens is still driving as hard as ever. MANHATTAN AUTO & RADIO CO.

ANACOSTIA COPS PAIR FROM SOX Southeast Nine Easy Victors Over Bethlehem Gray-Hosed Tossers TURNERS SEATION, Md. — The Ancestry Athletics were much the best in their pair of encounters with the Bethlehem Gray Sox baseball team here last Sunday afternoon. They not only ran away with the first game by the one-sided score of 14-2, but returned to take a 5-inning night.cap, 5-2. Rat McKenzie and Bill Reed, the latter manager of the team, were the District flingers, and wise choices they proved to be. For McKenzie and Reed were not satisfied with baffling the Bethlehem batters; they aided in their team's offensive tactics as well. Both contributed 2 hits to their team's efforts at the plate. The former gave up only 5 hits in the opener, all of which were scattered, over the route. Reed held his opponents to a trio of safeties in his abbreviated toil on the mound. Around the Play Centers Of the Nation's Capital All the play centers are priming for one kind or another sort of contest this week. The pools are practicing to withstand the attacks planned by the New York aggregation. The Pittsburghers have already declared they will take the trophy back home. Baltimore, always unsetting the dope has planned a new trophy case to fit the prize for high point scorer, but within the two weeks there will be more splashing and diving than one can imagine. At Dunbar the boys and girls are planning to become life savers with daily instructions they are receiving under the direction of Ralph Jackson and Clarence Pendleton. Granville Hill is assisting in the demonstration work. More than fifteen boys and girls are hoping to finish the tests, by August 23. In connection with the regular practice and swim periods there are many beginners taking lessons in the so-called mystic art of swimming. Classes are free. At Howard Pool the swimmers are practicing for a chance to represent Washington in the intercity swimming meet August 31 at Banncker Recreation Center. Play Centers on's Capital The Intercity meet will be preceded two days by a meet held at Francis Pool on August 29. William Chaney is manager of the pool. Miss Yvonne Walker, of Payne Playground, entertained a large number of the playground at her home, 1934 Eighth Street, Northwest, last Monday.

FOURTEEN HOWARD THEATRE OWNERS BUY IN PHILLY HOUSE Allen Announces Purchase of Fay's by Nate and Sam Stiefel PHILADELPHIA. Pa. —Purchase of Fay's Theatre, Fortieth and Market Streets, here, by Nathaniel and Samuel Stiefel, veteran theatrical brothers, was announced late last week by Shep Allen, manager of the Howard Theatre, Washington. Mr. Allen, who had just returned to the Capital from a vacation, revealed that all was not rest during the seven weeks he has been away from the Seventh and T Streets playhouse in Washington. He declared that much of his time has been spent seeking a desirable location for the opening of another house under Stiefel management. To Hire 40 People Fay's, which has been operating for the other group a number of years, is situated in a section of this city that has never before been able to boast a Negro amusement center. The deal was closed August 5, just prior to the return of the brothers and Mr. Allen to Washington. Immediately work was begun on remodelling the place for an early fall opening. Mr. Allen states that from 40 to 50 people will be put to work manning the house when it is ready for its first engagement. Washington's most popular playhouse, the Howard Theatre; presents as its Grand Opening attraction Friday, August 23; the "King of the Trumpet." Louie Armstrong and his orchestra. Louie Armstrong's unique way of playing the trumpet has earned for him the title of "King of Musicians." The masterful manner in which he reaches high notes puts him far above the average musician and his own style of singing songs, combined with his alluring personality makes him a master showman and one of the highest priced leaders in the modern music world. Louie has an original style of playing sweet and hot music and is the most imitated personality on the stage today. The patrons of the popular T Street House are in for one of the best musical treats of the year. Armstrong brings with him an aggregation of hand picked musicians and a fast-stepping venue, which features an array of Harlem's and Europe's most popular sepira stairs. The Howard is Louie's first American theatrical engagement since returning from Europe where he was quite a sensation for three years and where he has the distinction of being the favorite of the King of England and the Prince of Wales. There will be the usual midnight show on Saturday, August 24; with reserved seats. Tribune Classified Ads. for Results WELCOME SHRINERS! COOL AND COMFORTABLE LINCOLN 1215 YOU STREET, N.W.

At the regular citizens' meeting at 7 o'clock, Sunday, the same day terrified objectors hopelessly protested, raged, stoned and PLEAED as they shockingly witnessed the younger set, taking part for the first time, give a exhibition of modern ramroding that reminded one of the power plays of last years championship Minnesota eleven. Following the path of Germany, Italy? and Soviet Russia, Highland Beach, too, recognizes the powers of the irrate youth as they used every advantage afforded them by "Roberts Rules of Order." While standing quietly and unnoticed amid much confusion and turmoil, Trevandon Gui alertly watched Dr. John Frankis, Clinton Burke, Ulysses Warton, and Harry Risher smoothly and calmly carrying their new program over futile but heated protest which was destined to elect him $\triangle$ new president of the Citizens' Association. With all the old officers voted out, Fats Guy, president; Ulysses Warton, vice-president; Hellen Scurlock, secretary, and all those backing the new movement, have only started and now face the great test of putting over their new platform and accomplishing something worth while. With the hated "I Told You So" ever ready to be hurled at the first failure, the new movement is working with all speed to make their first act a success. They have pledged themselves to make the dance to be held in the pavilion on this Saturday night, August 17, one of the best ever held by this exclusive summer colony. With good music they are imploring all their friends and supporters to attend. And it looks from the many tickets already sold, that Saturday will be a gala night in the history of Highland Beach. Anderson and Tucker Lead in Kentucky Primaries Lee L. Brown, the runner-up in the Republican ranks conceded Anderson victory and will, being a staunch Republican, no doubt throw his strength to Anderson in the coming battle between the Democrats and Republicans.

Below the Avenoo By THE STROLLER The District Grand Jury, Wednesday, ignored charges of brutality against Officer G. B. Reid, of the Fourth Precinct. Policeman Reid is the officer accused of brutally beating Mrs. Jessie Sterling, 56 year-old woman, of 307 Virginia Avenue, Southwest, early in July while making an unwarranted arrest on charges of disorderly conduct. The refusal of the grand jury to indict Officer Reid should serve as an incentive to the Southwest Civic Association to call the case to the attention of the District Commissioners. Some decision in the proposed Southwest low-cost housing project which hit a snag when eleven property owners filed suits protesting the condemnation proceedings of the Government on the grounds that the property was not being used for "public use," will be probably given at the end of the week. Justice F. Dickinson Letts took the case under advisement in District Supreme Court Monday after hearing arguments from both sides. Section .. . . Scripts Section . . .

C TWO BOSTON WOMAN TO HEAD FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS The Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, Inc., held its thirty-ninth annual convention at New Haven, Conn., August 8 and 9. The Hon. John W. Murphy, mayor of New Haven, welcomed the convention to the city. The response in behalf of the convention was made by Mrs. Bessie H. Payne, of New York City. In her annual address the president, Mrs. Minnie T. Wright, of Boston, reviewed her work for the past year. She emphasized the educational program and the activity of the women in business and industry. The following officers were elected for the next year: Chaplain, Mrs. Alice S. Mapp, Brooklyn, N.Y.; parliamentarian, Miss Roberta Dunbar, Providence, R.I.; education, Mrs. Ada W. Talbert, Brooklyn, N.Y.; economies, Mrs. Laura Hall Collins, Brooklyn, N.Y.; legislative, Mrs. Laura Bell McCoy, New Haven. Young Women. Miss Theresa Alexander. Boston. Phyllis Wheatley.

The 1938 convention will be the guest of the New Jersey State Federation The Industrial Commission (From The Black Despatch) Before, however, we attempt an attack upon the soundness or justification for the proposed law (a bill to create a Negro Industrial Commission), we want to address ourselves to Congressman Mitchell. We think we will find this gentleman himself coming backwards in his reasoning. It appears to us that this proposed legislation does not tally with his previous diarrhoeic expressions. When Brother Mitchell first settled down in his congressional seat we thought he heard him say that he was going to be a congressman—not a black one or one of any other color—just a congressman from all of the people. Of course we understand that his remarks were intended as a criticism of Congressman DePriest, who had been supporting anti-lynch legislation; but in that criticism Mr. Mitchell most assuredly placed himself in opposition towards any type of legislation which smacked of class or race legislation. What has caused his right-about-face? Why has he recently seen the necessity of naming Negro boys to West Point, following his criticism of DePriest on this subject? It appears to the Black Dispatch that it would be more important to first protect life in this country, and get around to industrialism later; and it also occurs to us that it would be just as rational to force race legislation regarding lynching as to have race legislation regarding industrialism. What we are driving up to, is the very pertinent and offending statements of Congressman Mitchell when he first landed in office. We want to know why he right-abt-faced? Why was it wrong for Congressman DePriest to sponsor legislation for the special benefit of Negroes and is all right for Mr. Mitchell to sponsor an omnibus measure which creates a Negro commission impotent after it "reports and recommends." It's an upward trend in traffic accidents. "FREE FANS" to All Churches and Organizations AMBULANCES NEW AND MODERN IN EVERY DETAIL, FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE Call Jarvis Funeral Church 1432 U Street, N.W. North 3815 ASIATICS SEEK WAYS TO AID ETHIOPIA LONDON, England (By Rudolph Dunbar for ANP)—Perhaps the worst error yet in Premier Mussolinis' egregious policy of aggression toward Ethiopia occurred last week when he blatantly raised the color issue and issued a rallying cry for Italy to defend the white races of the world against the yellow, black and brown. This was not only bad diplomacy, but rotten from a historical point of view as well. Here in Europe, the Italians are regarded as having more African blood than any other European nation, not excluding Spain. A black man was at one time mayor of the city of Florence during the reign of the Medicis. The immediate reaction to Mussolinis' call to the colors on the basis of racial color, was a ringing challenge from Mahatma Gandhi to his millions of followers for support of the Ethiopian cause. Of equal importance is the reported attitude of the ruler of Yemen (Arabia) across the Red Sea from Ethiopia. Italy had sought to import laborers from Yemen into Eritrea to aid in its preparations for war. Zaidi Inam Yahya refused to give Italy permission to recruit these laborers and also announced his sympathy for Ethiopia. Although the Yemenites are Mohammedans and the Ethiopians are Christians, the two people are forgetting their religious differences and uniting under the bond of color. Subjects of Inam Yahya are seeking to enlist in the Ethiopian army. The population numbers 3,500,000. They propose to reach Ethiopia through the port of Zeila in British Somaliland. There is nothing to prevent them from going to Ethiopia before war is declared. It is believed that in the wake of the Yemenites over Asiatic nations, as far wast as India, will send recruits and supplies to help Haile Selassie. Dr. Abram Harris Rated One of Nation's Best Economists NEW YORK. (ANP)—What it takes to win a coveted Guggenheim Fellowship is revealed in Opportunity in an ably written article captioned "The Guggenheim Fellowships," by Earl Brown. The questions which the Fellowship Committee considers are What Have You Done? What Do You Propose to Do? The same tests are applied to both colored and white applicants for fellowships and the executive secretary of the Guggenheim Foundation. Henry Allen Moe, declares that the record of Negroes who have received the awards compares favorably with that of the whites. Detailing the method by which a person's qualifications are judged, Mr. Brown says of Abram Harris, Grant Still and Langston Hughes who received fellowships in 1935: "Some idea about the fairness and the negation of race and color in the selection of Guggenheim candidates may be obtained through an explanation of Dr. Abram Harris's appointment. The committee on the selection of candidates forwarded the books and treatises written by Dr. Harris to the leading economists in Europe and the United States. In no instance was Dr. Harris referred to as a Negro. After most detailed and critical studies of his works, the world's most renowned economists agreed that Professor Abram Harris was one of the foremost young economists in the United States. Columbia Lodge By C. A. CORNISH One of the largest initiations of the lodge was held on last Friday evening at the Elks' home, 301 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest. Allen A. C. Griffith, exalted ruler, presided. The membership drive, under the leadership of John F. Ross, is bringing many members into the fold of Columbia Lodge. Mr. Ross, who is the grand inner guard of the L.B.P.O.E.W., was endorsed to succeed himself in office by the Past Exalted Rulers Council No. 4 at its regular meeting held on Monday evening. The lodge is sponsoring a furniture rally of $1,000 to equip its new home which is now near completion. Eralted Ruler Allen A. C. Griffith is acting as major general of the rally and has appointed Dr. Ernest Hardy and Herbert E. Jones as majors to lead a group of fifty captains. The next regular meeting of the lodge will be held on Monday evening, August 19, and will be the last meeting before the opening of the grand lodge convention. BALTIMORE. — When Edward L. Smith, relief client, was fined so in Police Court today for striking his wife he almost broke up court proceedings by flopping a $100 bill to the desk sergeant. The sergeant, fingering the bill in amazement, asked Smith where he obtained such a large bill when he and his wife are on the city relief roles. "From my pastor," Smith replied, but refused to identify the clergyman. The sergeant made a note to report the incident to relief authorities and sent a squad car around to get change.

SOUTHERN AID MAKES $100,000 STATE DEPOSIT New Business Production Has Increased Over 100 Per Cent The recent announcements of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc. that it had increased its deposits to $100,000 with its home state, Virginia, thereby qualifying to continue to write life insurance in the District of Columbia as well as its home state, and also that an extension of thirty days of its special dispensation permitting its old policyholders and the public to secure health policies providing immediate benefits had been granted, have created unusual interest not only in insurance circles, but among the public in general. Although the special dispensation is limited to the company's superior health policies, yet the interest and high appreciation of the public of this old company's life insurance service and liberal dealings with the people have increased the new production in both the life and health departments tremendously. Thisise increase is averaging more than 100 per cent each week. There has also been a decided improvement in premium collections all over its territory. Another pleasing feature is the improvement shown in the returns on the heavy investments which the company has made in real estate, mortgage loans and bonds. Tennessee Governor Saves Slayers From Chair NASHVILLE. Tenn.

The terminal site, recently purchased by ‘the American Oil Company, covers forty acres in East Green: bush. New York, South of Albany, on Papscanee Island. This new plant will be modern in every de- tail and a, great contribution to the Importance of the Pert of Albany. o"Riverichn Oil Company ‘will skip its products in large tankers from its new! refinery at Texas City, ‘Texas—the world’s: largest and most rpsera refining unit—direct- ly to the terminal when completed. ‘Tankers approximately 450 feet long having a 60 foot beam and carrying about 3,200,000 gallons of American Oil Company products per trip will be used. Construction plans call for a dock and unloading facilities capable of handling the larcest tankers, - Storage facilities, will ‘be large enough to take care of American Oil.Company's present and rapidly increasing business in upper New York State, Vermon: and Western Massachusetts. Tanks and build- ings will be completed and in opera- tion before January 1, 1936. Mod- ern facilities for loading and un- loading tankers. barges, tank-cars, and trucks will be a part of Ameri- can’ new and modern terminal. This plant will take care of American Oil Company’s Albany Amoco dealers and consumers and will also supply American’s bulk distributing plants and jobbers in other towns within economical ship- ping distance of the Port of Al bany. The New York State Barge Canal will be an important link in the transportation system along: which American Oil Company pro- ducts will be shipped from this ter- minal. American's growth in this terri- tory has been rapid. Amoco-Gass, Orange American Gas, and Amoco Motor Oils were placed on the mar- Ket in this section in 1983, after the merger of American Oil Com: pany and Lord Bait'more Filling Station with Pan-American Petro- leum and Transport Company and Mexican Petroleum Corporation. Many new bulk plants, service stations and dealers have ‘been ac- quired. AM of thi, is part. of American's expansion of market- ing territory from Maine to Flori- da and inland. Stations are man- ned in this territory by both white and colored agents, In line with its zeneral program of expansion in other parts of the country the American Oi! Company is also at this time engaged in a million dollar river transportation roject including the erection of a bie petroleum terminal on the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh. Upon completion of this enterprise American Oi! Compary will move its products by water up the Mis- sissippi and other rivers to its Pittsburgh Terminal from its new refinery at Texas City, Texas. Transportation equipment to be launched in conjunction with the new development involves a large capital expenditure Modern barges, constructed to cope with all river conditions, are being ordered, and will embody the latest principles of barge building, such ax steel hulls for durability, and_ sloping rake bows to mininnize the river current resistance in upstream movement. Each barge train will carry'a-pay load the equivalent of the cargo of an ocean going oil tanker, and will thus confprise the largest water borne cargo import ed into Pittsburgh. With the completion of the Al- bany and Pittsburgh Terminals, American's chain of marine and in Ignd waterfront depots will be rounded out to fifteen ocean termi nals and twenty _ waterfront (barge) plants from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico. This extensive system supplies the many thou! sands of American distributors, bulk plants, dealers, service sta- tions and consumers The American Oil Company is this year celebrating its Silver An- niversary, having been founded by Lou's Blaustein in 1910.

WEEK ENDING AUGUST 17, 1935 Mind Your Business On the heels of an article by Beatrice Murphy in the Tribune last week in which she stated that the Negroes of America have nothing in common with the people of Ethiopia and should attend to their own business of making this country what it ought to be, Abraham Abdi, a native of Italian Somaliland, gives an interview in an article appearing in the Tribune this week in which he states that the people of Ethiopia are not seeking the help of American Negroes. In the first place, Negroes of America have nothing the Ethiopians want. Emperor Halle Selassie has more manpower now than he can equip, and American Negroes certainly cannot aid in the way of ammunition or guns. Of course, the Emperor cannot afford to say so, but he does not care for the American Negro. Descendants of slaves are always slaves in the eyes of Ethiopians. Aside from color, the two races have nothing in common. Abdi says his country will do very well in taking care of itself—as it has done in the past. Addis Ababa (pronounced Ad-dis A-ba-ba), the capital, may be destroyed, but the people will always be free or die, said Abdi. In the first place, Negroes of America have nothing the Ethiopians want.

Addis Ababa (pronounced Ad-dis A-ba-ba), the capital, may be destroyed, but the people will always be free or die, said Abdi. If the League of Nations is interested in the African situation, it is because England and France fear uprisings in their African possessions. If a big nation is to help a weak nation, why didn't the League help China? They had nothing at stake—is the answer. We Can Imagine With the gathering of thousands of visitors on U Street during the three approaching conventions (Shriners, Elks, Catholles) we can imagine what stench will be coming from the many alleys opening into U Street. Private residents and business owners will be overworked assisting strangers who will have to appeal to them because the city fathers remain blind to the need of a convenience station on the triangle at Tenth and U Streets. If we could get those officials to walk down U Street early any morning and enjoy the offensive aroma that greets them, they would put forth every effort to do something about this unpleasant and unwholesome condition. We can imagine them permitting such conditions to prevail in their neighborhoods. It is too much to ask policemen to patrol the alleys often enough to placate a nuisance that could be so easily eradicated if the health department were on the alert.

We must acknowledge our deep appreciation to those of you who have been so kind as to compliment us so early on our radio feature that was inaugurated by Sam Lacy on Wednesday night. Mr. Lacy, our sports editor, has been highly complimented by those who heard him as sports commentator over station WOL. He has in store for his listeners-in the rare treat of hearing our foremost leaders in sports tell of their activities. Mr. Lacy has already contacted several of them, and unless these people find it impossible to keep their appointments, you are sure of hearing some worth while things The success of any radio program rests on the mail that is received showing interest in the feature. Would you mind sending in your applause in the form of a post card or letter? It would be foolish for Haile Selassie to lead his armies on the field of battle. He has proven his worth as being nation-proud, race-proud, determined and fearless. He is worth more alive than dead. Brutality Cases There are always two sides to every story. We admit that at all times a policeman is justified in defending himself. But when charges of brutality are made against our law protectors, as often as is the custom here in Washington, we should appeal to those who examine police candidates to select men who are capable of handling prisoners without resorting to beating and shooting them. It is hard to conceive that any man who has been admitted to the police force should have to resort to assaulting women under any circumstances. There are always two sides to every story.

A1 Kelly Miller Discusses Power of The Negro Press During the past decade practically every phase of Negro life, comprehensively considered, has been stationary or retrograde. The Negro church has fallen from its high state of promise and prestige and is threatened with financial and spiritual bankruptcy. The several denominations have reached a new low bead which it can hardly decline further and must needs move forward or lose its hold upon the support of the people. Of all the misfortunes which have befallen the race, this is the greatest. The Medical Fraternity, which at one time represented the elite among the professions because it enjoyed an income beyond the rest is now struggling for existence under the heavy weight of the depression. Our banks, insurance companies and business enterprises have for the most part come to grief, not less because of the nation-wide depression than by reason of the inefficiency or downward rascality of their promoters. Politically, the race has wholly lost out in the South where the bulk resides, which was off set somewhat by incidental gains in the North. But the effective political power of the race is best exhibited in the South where they are and not in the North where they are not. Our schools are rapidly passing from under Negro influence and control to that of the white manipulators. These are not of the philanthropic disposition of the founders of Negro education and their interest in the race is rather of the negative rather than of the positive character. Their function is to see that the funds are wisely applied and that the system is efficiently operated rather than to develop character, power and purpose on the part of the Negro. Schools and colleges under Negro support, inspiration and management have all but fallen out of the equation for want of adequate nurture. Of course there is enlargement of machinery and apparatus and heightened efficiency in technical instruction but no increase in power or inspiration.

THE PRESS IS THE ONLY RACE POWER I might go on through the entire catalogue of racial enterprise and find the same depresssing note running through them all but this might be interpreted as pessimism. There has been encouraging upsurgence of the literary spirit among the younger writers, musicians and actors. This however takes the form of pictorial and mimic art rather than the disposition to grasp and grapple with the actualities of racial life. But there is one flourishing oasis amidst the desert. Of all the agencies that work among Negroes the press alone has made and is making substantial progress. The press falls wholly under Negro ownership and enterprise. It is the only independent voice of the people. Our ecclesiastical leaders have lost their former prestige as spokesman for the masses. School teachers are controlled by those who contribute to their sustenance and dare not call their voice their own. Only the press is left to appeal boldly for the people as it ought to speak. In the early years of its life, the Negro press was regarded as a discredit all but a disgrace to the pretended intelligence and advancement of the race. The mechanical makeup was impossible, the typography was bad, the language was oftentimes grammatically inaccurate, to say nothing of being rhetorically unlegible. Advertisements of skin bleachers and hair straighteners seemed to furnish their chief means of existence. It was on the whole, with a few shining exceptions, sordid and venal. Their policy, opinion, and judgement were bought and paid for by political bosses. On the approach of each campaign the political managers and manipulators allotted a few hundred dollars to each publication which was considered sufficient to control both the news service and editorial opinion in favor of the Republican Party which at that time, was the only payer bidding for Negro support. Negro thinkers, or those who though they were thinkers, scholars, writers and authors of literary pretention, searcie disdained to have their productions appear in the Negro press.

PRESENT-DAY PAPERS ARE COMMENDABLE But all of these conditions have been greatly improved, mechanical make-up, the typography, literary quality, the dignity and tone of the editorial utterances have approached much nearer the journalistic standard. The editorial discussion is conducted with engaging thought and pleasing style. Leading Negro writers and scholars are now glad to have their contributions appear in the Negro journals. White people, who wish to keep in touch with what is going on in the Negro world, do so through this means. Every Negro who professes to be informed must keep in touch with the Negro press. There are about fifty Negro papers throughout the country which rank in the better classification. All of these seem to be financially successful. Several of these papers have a certified circulation of over fifty thousand and support a staff of a half-hundred people. These represent perhaps the most successful business enterprise the race is now conducting. The best of these journals have filed their "declaration of independence" and their editorials open no longer to the control of the politician. Advertisements are being placed on a dignified business basis. The Negro press is steadily growing in efficiency and power. The advertiser may buy space according to a fixed schedule of rates but must not intrude upon the editorial page. If the race wishes to gain its rightful place in the political, industrial, economic and social scheme of things it will be largely through the instrumentality of the Negro press.

Other Papers Say FROM BABCOCK'S WEEKLY NEWS LETTER (The Government Standard) (The Government Standard) The bureaucracy growth of the Federal bureaucracy during the past two years represents a relation of campaign pledges, an unjustifiable burden on the taxpayers and a menace to the businesses, the citizens, and business enterprises. New jobs have been distributed as rewards for political service rather than on the basis of need of efficiency. The bureaucracy has meddled unnecessarily and with injurious consequences in affairs which under the Constitution do not concern the Federal Government. The mushroom growth of the Federal bureaucracy during the past two years represents a violation of campaign pledges, an unjustifiable burden on the taxpayers and a mace to the liberties, rights and welfare of individual citizens and business enterprises. New jobs have been distributed as reward for political service rather than on the basis of need of efficiency.

WEEK ENDING AUGUST 17. 1935 Pickens' Observations NEGROES AND WHITES UNITE "Negroes and Whites—Unite!" Those were the words inscribed on many of the placards and banners when tens and ten of thousands of paraders marched up Seventh Avenue, New York City, on Saturday, August 3. The parade lasted for hours, and some estimated that at least 100,000 persons were in it. Other hundreds of thousands observed it. It was the greatest parade that has ever passed up a Harlem street in our memory (and we saw the epoch-making Garvey parades); and it is undoubtedly the greatest parade yeah held anywhere in the world to Protest Against the Italian attack on Ethiopia. "Hands off Ethiopia" read hundreds of placards and shouted tens of thousands of voices. They chanted it as they went. "Dow with Musssolini!" and believe it or not, great numbers of the Italian people of New York were in the parade: there were troops of little Italian children, with their native head-gear on. Italian organizations and bands. Some of the participating organizations came from places miles out of New York City, from far-away parts of Long Island and from every surrounding suburb. More than nine-tenths of the paraders were white people. Every other nationality was in the line. Negroes, of course; but also Frenchmen, Germans (protesting against both Hitler and Mussolini), Jews, Russians, Cubans, Mexicans, and (what is unpredecented) a large group of the Chinese people. It was the greatest, "unite front," so far as races and nationalities are concerned that we have ever seen in any protest march or meeting. As the Italian group passed, they drew great cheers in Harlem, especially the lusty little Italian children. There were many brass bands, some children's bands, girls carrying and beating great bass drums, girls playing the kettle drum and crutches. There were paraders on crutches. There were women pushing their infants in baby carriages. One man had his whole family a white man, with an infant in a carriage and another in his arms, and his wife and small children trudging the many miles from downtown to the upper end of Harlem, at least five miles in all. There was a small black coffin, carried by four, two white and two colored, and labeled "RESERVED FOR MUSSOLINI." It being an undersized coffin, II Duce would have to be cut up in order to be comfortably packed into it. Of course, this great throng can do little for Abyssina: the United States will not let them clear the harbor, even if any of them intended to do so. But they can do much in the United States. They will create a new spirit here. They are the raw stuff out of which revolution are made. Only fools would discredit that truth. Even the blind could see that here was something that cannot be laughed off as an expression of those who just like to parade and show themselves in public—who like to exhibit and demonstrate. But there are many fools and many intellectually blind people in all these nations. These marchers and shouting hosts were real HU MAN—some from bread-lines, some from labor unions, some from political and social organizations—some Socialists, many Communists—many pacifics and agitators, and some plain citizens who hate the sort of thing which Italy is now exemplifying. The American League Against War and Fascism was the sponsoring and leading organization of the demonstration. It will not be forgotten by any who observed it with seeing eyes.

More than nineteenth of the paraders were white people.

Music is their garment to warm and enfold—Burleigh or Cab or Beethoven. Fashioned of rhythm and a spendrift of gold. To a pattern of young love woven! Holding hands in the dark. The local orchestra was on hand early. The presiding genius of this rather interesting and picturesque assemblage of dark musicians, born and bred in the deep South was known as Bloochie Cox Anyone who observed Bloochie Cox carefully or talked with him or watched him manipulate the piano keys during the hours when the dance was at its gayest could hardly forget him quickly. Bloochie was short of stature and plump. His eyes were small, his head partly bald, and it was always quite plainly evident that he stimulated his undoubted musical genius by the constant use of a vintage. He always wore three gold rings on the middle fingers of his left hand. His gold teeth were plainly evident. It was his professional custom to display a wide smile whenever he looked up from the keyboard or around the room at the gay revellers. Occasionally, too, he barked a crisp word or two to his associates in the creation of rhythm, but they had all been a part of "Bloochie Cox's Band" so long that their movements and their notes synchronized with his in an instinctive precision. Technically Bloochie Cox was a marvel on the piano. He read notes, but never played according $t_0$ what he called "ordinary transcripts." He elaborated basic melodies. He gave original additions to them that gave them added charm, greater zest. He put more jazz of an original nature to jazz music. When he played Zez Confrey's "Kitten of the Keys" listerners marvelled at his own flawless technique in the rendition of the number and the vitality and appeal of certain additions distinctly "Bloochiesque." *** The evening progressed. A broad canvas of life, a colorful picture of brown belles, gullant olive and tan youths with black hair and deep, full eyes made the reality majestic; the picture would satisfy the soul of an artist. Especially the rhythmic movements of the youths and maidens in the dance. The breasts of the girls were heaving and nearly visible through their chiffon and taffeta clothes; the figures of the men varied but even the most rotund person on the dance floor added his own bit of color and warmth to the atmosphere. This retund fellow was Howard Hurley, amateur pianist, accordion player, jovial bundle of glee and good nature. When the music and the dance stopped simultaneously there was a momentary lull in the gaity. But the girls were not lost for long, not silent for long. They found something to say. Sometimes they just laughed and went back to their seats. Sometimes their partners escorted them back. At other times, by a mutual intuitive consent, they simply lost each other—the one going to the punch bowl or to $t_0$ a friend whom they just noticed arving or in some secluded portion of the room and the other wandering alone in the rapidly growing, brilliantly gay assemblage. Carl Brandon finally found Rosemary Martin. She was in the second dance room, sitting on the sofa beneath a verdant trellis made especially for this occasion. He went to her, bowing. "At last I've found you," he said, Rosemary smiled. "Certainly," the girl answered. He sat down beside her and for a moment both simply gazed at the merry, laughing, groups. Rotund Howard Hurley was creating much merriment by throwing confetti he had acquired in some mysterious manner. "Howard's a fine lad," Carl observed as they both gazed upon his antics. "Yes," Rosemary agreed. "I believe this is the first time I've seen you since our first meeting on the boulevard." "It is." "You're quite charming tonight." "Thank you for the compliment." "Won't you tell me something about yourself. I'm very anxious to know you better." "Probably you're merely modest." "Probably." The music started again and couples prepared for the dance. "Let's dance," Carl suggested. "I'm still rather warm and recovering from the last." Rosemary said smiling. "Then let's go sit in the summer house under the lights and enjoy the evening breese." "Grand!" Rosemary agreed enthusiastically. The lawn was illuminated with red and green lights string along the hedges and reaching to the roof of the house and several of the oleanders that bloomed in the gardens. In the center of the lawn was a rockery, typical of many of the Sylvan Haven gardens, and a miniature aquarium with a few goldfish on the inside. Behind the rockery was a pergola and a little latticed summer house. The sun-dial, directly in front of the summer house, added a note of medieval charm, completing the picture. Carl and Rosemary walked to the summer house, and Roseary's first remark was in praise of the arbour of rosevines decorating the little frame structure in which they sat. At the moment they were oblivious to everything except the stars overheard, the twinkling coloured lights that turned the evening hour into brightness and the soft strains of the waltz from within the dancing room. "I think I will tell you something Ethiopia May Light a Spark By CHARLES M. THOMAS Each day sees some aspect of the Abyssinian-Italian situation offered in a new light. Financial experts say that Italy has nothing to gain by conquering Abyssinia, because the cost of exploiting the country is prohibited by Italy's weak money situation and Abyssinia's difficult engineering problems, a climate unsuitable to white men, and a narrow margin of resources to be secured from the country. General Smuts proposes the possibility of native uprising will cause European nations to prevent any attack upon Ethiopia. Be those situations as they may, the interest aroused in Africa by means of the dispute is greater than at any previous period in world history. Land, People, and History Behind every human problem anywhere is the condition of the land, its ownership, and, control of the resources. Out of contact with the moving world most of which has passed from the tribal control of land for the benefit of all those of common kin. Africa has seen most of its vast area either taken by others or given away by its chieftains for some foolish toy. Everywhere in civilization, land has passed from this early common ownership down through stages of family, state and finally individual right to all rents and income, protected by the law. Ancient governments fell because of this passing of land into the hands of the few through inheritance. It made lower classes and produced poverty-streken millions who broke the power of the land holders only by revolution. Land in Africa passed first into the hands of individual Europeans later protected in their rights by their governments. Because of its long experience, England has been most successful, not only in getting the land for its citizens, but in getting much land formerly controlled by other Europeans. In the Union of South Africa, completed last May, after 25 years of experiment, a vast stretch from South to North and including millions of Africans of diverse racial origin, is included. "1,325,000 acres of land in Rechaunaland is owned by the Tati Company of London, and offers its population to the industrial exploitation that implies woe to black labor. Grazing lands may be turned over to Whites; native freedom of movement will be curtailed by "pass" laws such as obtained here in America for free Negroes before the Civil War; the Color Bar Act may come with its inferiority racial as well as economic; the Native Service Act may see forced labor even by those rich in land in their own right, which may force or compel natives to leave groups and wander, because barred by Native Land Acts from owning land by title, even if they acquired the means to do so." Natives Alive to Segregation Strange as it may seem, at least one Chief, Tschekedi, protests to Great Britain that policies now forming in South Africa point to "one law for whites and another for blacks, and that is not commending itself to native people." There too, unsettled African youth has turned to migration and wandering; drifting into the cities where crime and destitution place them in police toils. Thus the Abyssinian-Italian situation is not private but merely an index of the application of wrong methods to the solution of human problems, and the outcome of policies based BOOKS "Gun Thunder on the Rio," by Dan James. If you like a story of the great open spaces packed and brimming over with high adventure, love, humor and pathos; if you thrill to the fast drumbeat of noble horses strainurg their muscles for the last omeo of speed in a desperate, breath-taking race with death; if you love the tang of the real West, of the round-up, of the vast unfenced land of cattle, mountains and eerie moon-bathed desert, where men of steely nerves carry on the age-old battle with outlawry and cunning villainy—then you must read "Gun Thunder on the Rio." You will meet Lew Hardin, who was not afraid of death itself. You will be captivated by Jean Corvell, the lovely heroine whose Eastern education did not obscure her courage and audacity. You will love and profoundly pity the heartbroken giant "Trouble-Shooter" and though you will undoubtedly hate El Aguila, the unusually ruthless villain, you will have to be a little bit sorry for him. You will also laugh at the snobbish young Eastern tenderfoot who finally wants to become a twogun man of the West himself—and very nearly does. Godwin, Publishers, Price, $2.00. about myself, Mr. Branden" Rosemary said, "breaking the silence." Fine" Carl responded, leaning toward her enthusiastically. toward her enthusiastically. I'll begin this way: My father is a very impractical man—a religious recluse, a puritan, with a beautifully sensitive nature. I love to hear him read from this scriptures, repeat the rosary; I'm very fond of his religious symbols, his priestly robes and gowns; I like to read his sacred books. They are attractive to me in the rhythm of their lines, the chastity and deep worth of their thoughts. (To be continued) BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL The Lyric Voice primarily upon greed. General native uprising is highly probable because oppressed human nature rebels by its own force. If all of the sympathetic sentiments uttered in behalf of Angelo Herndon were placed in a book they would make a sizable volume. The book in turn might get to be a best seller and win a place in the magazine sections of the Sunday papers. Unfortunately this is not the case and as the matter stands much of the genuine sympathy with him has been lost to posterity. On the other hand it was never so necessary to gather up the vagrant indignation expressed over the performance of the Supreme Court in ordering his return to the Georgia chain gang. A petition for a re-hearing is pending and the court has always exhibited a strong tendency to temper its decisions to the winds of public opinion. With that in view the International Labor Defense has just completed plans for a novel tour of the country by Herndon. He will make it in a truck that is a replica of the contrivances used to haul convicts to their daily labors down in Dixie. The sight is gruesome enough and reminds me of the cages in which the small time circuses used to exhibit their animals in the street parades. To give it added weight pictures and documentary proof are on display which portray in a startling fashion the tortures awaiting any Negro unfortunate enough to get a chain-gang sentence. One glance is convincing proof that Herndon's is really a sentence of death. You can get a bad case of the jitters with a glance. startling tiring any to get a glance is indon's is oh. You In spite of all dear treasures won and lost; And this is winning: when I know the most That life can hold for me is but its blight. It is hardly necessary to argue the merits of the sentence. It's pretty well understood that Herndon's "crime" lay in organizing white and Negro unemployed to demand a boost in relief rations. At a time when every Negro in the country is authority for the statement that we must organize or perish it is essential that we protect those who do try to organize their fellows. Nor will this protection be achieved if those who see the truck content themselves with sighs of sympathy and go home to their bridge games and crossword puzzles. Coupled with the tour is a plan to get two million names on a petition urging Herndon's freedom and the abolition of the old slave law on which he was railroaded to jail. The easy way out will be to sign one of the petitions and call it a day. More needs to be done. A lot of us ought to pitch in and constitute ourselves agent for securing names. There's really nothing hard about it. For example those who go around "just make up pop calls" could carry petitions with them. The business of explaining the case would be no more difficult than an evening devoted to panning the next door neighbors. Seriously, it is very important that everybody understand the case. The more you study it and talk about it the more you will come to understand that this attempt to curb Herndon is but a prelude to a wider attack on civil rights and freedom of speech. With the country going from bad to worse it is self evident that a lot more will have to be said in the next few years by way of stiffening up the fight against encroachment on our very ailing standard of living. To speak out now for Herndon is to put in a word for your own bread and butter. Federal News Notes LAURENCE J. W.

THE WAY OUT By LOREN MILLER REST SELLER Animal Cage Sympathy not' Enough A Big Job By COLEMAN G. DUCKETT Beauty—Truth—the eternal verities, indivisible in their unity, and poets will never tire of seeking new varieties of the unchanging connection: A red rose blooming by the way, And blowing near, a violet— So chants the one—a lyric lay. The other trills a triolet. A Poet lingered near to note This harmony of earth complete, Then sat him down at last and wrote In rhymed lines and measured feet. Of violets and the rose-trees' bloom In breathing words to apprehend His themes, but Time has sealed his tomb And blown his verses down the wind. A crimson rose-bud blooms again... Pale petals dancing laughingly. O words are but the tools of men, But living poems will never die! We confess to what we believe to be a most pardonable weakness for the sonnets of Mr. Brown. This Baltimore songster seems to derive as much inspiration from the prosaic envions of the Monumental City as Keats did from his "Tales of Archae:" This is victory: when the boreal frost Of failure sears me not with angry bite, When I can lift my face and smile and fight To feel that, far beyond my sense, or sight. There may be other seas less tempest-tossed. And this is triumph, too: when I can hold Your slender loveliness with awful ease. And never dream of regions, bright with gold, Where willows bend beanth a tropic breeze— When I can press my dead lips to your mouth And think how chill the wind blows from the South. SUMMER LYNCH RATE IS ONE EVERY 6 DAYS Citing a record of one lynchings for every siy days between June 22 and August 4, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People this week urged President Roosevelt to see, at the Costigan-Wagner federal anti-lynching bill was called up for action in Congress without delay. The twelfth lynching of the year occurred August 4, in Pittsboro, Miss. when Bodie Bates was hanged by a mob because a white waitress claimed he had looked through her bedroom window and called to her to admit him. Of the total of 12 lynchings, Mississippi has staged 7. Louisiana is second with two and California, Florida and North Carolina have held 1 each. The California victim was a white man. The offenses charged were: murder, 3; attempted attack on white women, 3; fighting with white man, 2; attack on a white woman, 1; organizing sharecroppers, 1; too prosperous, 1; threatening white woman with knife, 1. "Ride 'im, Cowboy" is a phrase applied to just what it means. Business men and workers of every kind, displaying the same energy and determination as a good rider on a bad horse could lick a lot of the depression without half trying.

PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men A reception was going on and Miss Louise Taylor, daughter of the Rev, and Mrs. H. B. Taylor of First Street, paused for a moment in her hostess's doorway to smile a pretty good-bye. Her dress was of crisp white organdy, and there wasn't a tuck or a ruffle about it. But a quaint little cape that fastened high at the neck, with a satin ribbon bow, brought out many merry twinkles from the dark depths of Louise's eyes. Somebody looked around for a Kodak (and berated the fate that failed to let him find one). It's grand for Atlantic City, but bed for the capital. I mean that visit Mrs. Willie Mae Johnson (the charming, soft-voiced "Billie" of the Vogue Beauty Shop) and the lovely Mrs. Alpha Fears are making to the Jersey playground. Friends of the two popular Washingtonians feel that they have been missing them long enough. And they are not only beginning to murmur and complain, but are saying right out in unmistakable language that it's time for the automobile that bore "Billie" and "Alph" away to point its headlights homeward. --- Cute Miss Edith Woodson of 143 Rhode Island Avenue knows her clothes. She was seen in the business section of the city the other day wearing brown plaid with a pretty white jabot and dash a-plenty to her dress. With Miss Woodson was her tall sweet-faced cousin, Miss Elsie Jackson, of 512 U Street. --- She lives at 1244 New Jersey Avenue. As for years, she hasn't seen so many (sixteen, perhaps); as for avoirdupois, she has her share (maybe more); as for her voice, I can't find the words that would describe it. Miss Margaret Montgomery (if you haven't already guesed it). She sang at a smart affair recently and so charmed were her hearers that they left their seats and gathered around her and absolutely refused to let her move until she sad sung again and again. ... Dr. and Mrs. H. C. Beldon rushing out to Albert I. Cassell's pretty beach ever so often. The slim Sara is acquiring a lot of sun-tan that will look well next week when she dons a party dress for the Samuels' big house-warming. That's a grand smile Mrs. Rosetta Robinson wears. It doesn't even come off when she drives through U Street traffic and some old Ford gets cranky and does its level best (or worst) to halt her progress. A "shower" fell on lovely Charlotte Ridgelye (now Mrs. John R. Pinkett, Jr.) left Thursday night. PRATTLE Ladies and old, Wonderful Men But she didn't get a bit wet. It "rained" & radio, an electric iron and ever so many silks and linens and whatnots. And the happy smiles on the faces of Charlotte's friends proved that they knew all the "whys" and "wherefores" of the "rain." --- It wasn't a reunion at the Union Station last Sunday night. It was just a lot of Lees and McAbees out to see if one of their kinsmen (Dr. C. D. Lee) could let his dainty bride out of his sight for a minute or so with her mother (in South Carolina) and live to tell the tale. The popular Dodson's of 1262 Columbiar Road, who entertained so delightfully for the visiting Virgin Islanders a few weeks ago, left shortly thereafter for a sojourn in Maryland. They couldn't tell the postman to stay away from their door. So when they got back Monday evening at 9 o'clock they found invitations to this pretty thing and that. Among them was a tiny card requesting their presence that night at a birthday party for the twins (Messrs. Mark and Thomas Cox), sons of Mrs. Lula B. Cox of 2207 Thirteenth Street. Now "Willie" (that's Mrs. Dodson) couldn't think of a thing that could keep her from answering Mrs. Cox's call (such good friends are they). So, since it was already nine o'clock and since the party was scheduled to close at 10 p.m., the Dodson's didn't even stop to get into their party clothes, but rushed on over to Thirteenth Street to help the twins do their celebrating. Dr. William Cameron looked cool and comfortable at a theatre the other evening. Mr. Tall and Handsome newsman (Ed. L.) was on U Street the other day trying to look as if he wasn't looking for news, when everybody knew that was exactly what he was doing. --- Mrs. "Beadie" Gray of Second and W Streets, Northwest, tried her best to make her scant one hundred pounds fill up a pretty black and white striped dress that had the cleverest collar you ever saw, with cunning little patent leather cut-outs appliqued all over it. Aunt Sadie can now pay her long-promised visit. Uncle Cal can come from the Carolinas. It will even be OK for Cousin Emma Quinn to leave her home in Alabama and bring along the twins. And there'll be plenty of room in the shack at that. For (heaven bless the man who invented 'em) double-decker beds are here. And now, when extra guests arrive, instead of taking a mattress or maybe a guilt or two and going to bed --- Leonard-Daniels Nuptials are Solemnized in N. C. LOUISBURG, N.C. — The South Main Street Baptist Church here was the scene of a very beautiful wedding last Monday evening when Miss Maggie Mae Leonard, daughter of Joseph Leonard, was married to Grafton J. Daniels, son of Professor and Mrs. R. J. Daniels of Washington, D.C. The impressive ceremony was performed by the Rev. D. P. Lewis, pastor, before an arch supporting fourteen candles and decorated with white flowers and vines against a background of ferns. Before the wedding, Mrs. Grace D. Mahoney of Washington, D.C., sister of the groom, sang "The Rosary," accompanied by Mrs. Bertha Leonard, who played the Lohengrin wedding march. The bride was given in marriage by her father. She wore a gown of white satin, made on princess lines, the skirt terminating in a long train.

One rested lightly and becomingly on Mrs. Zephyr Ramsay's raven tresses last Sunday afternoon. It was black velvet and its only bit of trimming was a green pin that matched exactly the vivid green sprays that sprawled all over the lavender dress she wore. Speaking of Mrs. Ramsay, that lady is looking forward to a visit from her mother, who lives in California, and she's ever so happy about it. In other words, she's "in love with the world." So, when a poor palmist pleadingly prayed for permission to read her palm, she gayly answered "Why not?" Of course, Zephyr doesn't believe you, or a palmist either, can see a thing in the widest open palm, or even in a tea cup or a glittering crystal ball. But Zephyr got a surprise. The dimestore palmist told her that the only reason she couldn't tell her name was because it was in the wind. And so Zephyr's name is!

The story is highly dramatic and full of gripping events. The other film, "China Express," is a worthy companion to "Broken Shoes." It depicts what foreign powers have done to an independent nation, and what they are trying to do to Ethiopia. It pictures the degradation of the Chinese by the conquerors and the brave resistance by the natives. It is powerful, gripping and entertaining. Dr. W. A. CAMERON 1534 You St., N.W. N. 8482.

After the completion of ments by attorneys representing the eleven property owners who oppose the project and lawyers for the Public Works Administration, Saturday, Justice Letts asked at- torneys to file briefs in the case. ‘The latter were filed Monday.

TEACHERS DEPLORE FAILURE OF ANTI- LYNCHING LAW Italy Condemned for War of Aggression in Ethiopia Scoring Congress for failure to pass anti-lynching legislation and condemnation of Italy for her war of aggression in Ethiopia, were among the resolutions endorsed by the National Association of Teachers which met in Tallahassee, Fla., last week. The body also recommended "ceaseless activity toward securing the just constitutional right to vote on the part of Negroes in those states where this right is denied them." Other resolutions adopted were: "It is plainly evident that many text-books, particularly in the field of history, used in the public schools of the country, do not present the Negro in the light of impartial fact. It is therefore earnestly recommend that, State boards of education and all other bodies that select and adopt text-books for use in the public schools insist on adopting only those text-books that present the Negro citizen in an adequate, comprehensive, and authentic manner. "The attention of state and federal relief agencies is called to the fact that there are glaring inequalities in the distribution of work opportunities among Negro citizens as compared to those among white citizens. The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools raises a most vigorous protest against this unfair and un-American practice. "We urge speedy Congressional action in making the home-place of Frederick Douglass a National Shrine. We also endorse the movement now sponsored by the Alumni Association of Otterbein College (Westerville, Ohio), to make into a State or National Shrine the house in which the anti-slavery ballad, "My Darling Nellie Gray" was written (by Benjamin Hanby in 1858), and which served as one of the underground railroad stations. "Much misunderstanding exists on the subject of the supply and demand of qualified teachers for Negro schools. Economic stress and strain have sent recently many persons into the teaching field whose presence there is not in the highest interest of pupils and students. He would urge especially trained and highly qualified teachers for the various school teaching levels and also a single salary schedule of pay for white and Negro teachers of the same training and work in a given local county or state system of schools." David Simmons Heads Farmers' Association TUSKEEGE, Ala.—With an attendance of more than 300 boys representing 18 states, the annual session and organization meeting of the New Farmers of America for white boys, in its plans and purposes to the Future Farmers of America for white boys, came to a close here after being in session since Sunday.

Perry Home Dispute Between Abyssinia and Italy, and Former Country's Explanation to the League of Nations Document Discloses That Italy Incensed Ethiopia in Border Dispute Editor's Notes—The following document, to be released serially by The Associated Negro Prass, titled C. 49. M. 72. 1385, VII, was communicated to the Council of the League of the League at Geneva, Switzerland, January 17. 1385. It also contains the Abyssinian arguments which broke up the sessions of the Italian-Ethiopian Conciliation Committee. It is in the form of a request by the Abyssinian government to the League of Nations for action under Article 11, paragraph 2 of the League Govern. Abyssinian delegates to the League of Nations, Teele Hawariate, dispatched the Abyssinian request to the Secretary-General of the League with the following note: "I have the honor to submit to you herewith the memorandum prepared by the Government of Abyssinia in regard to the dispute between my country and Italy, which was death with in the communication recently sent to you by the Government of Addis Ababa, and to request that this memorandum should be communicated to the members of the League of Nations, and that the question should be brought to the Council's attention in accordance with the instructions of paragraph 11, paragraph 2, of the Covenant, in order that it may be placed on the Council's agenda during its present session." The Secretary General thereupon submitted to the Council and League members the memorandum, in which the delegates and the memorandum, the first section of which is herewith reproduced. Memorandum by the Imperial Abyssinian Government on the Incidents at Walwal (Ua'ual) between November 23 and December 5, 1934. Statement of Facts Statement of Facts 1. The Joint Anglo-Abyssinian Commission for the Delimitation of the Frontier of British Somaliland having concluded the work of demarcation on the ground, it was requested by the Abyssinian and United Kingdom Governments to survey on the spot the grazing grounds of the Ogaden, regarding which an exchange of letters supplementary to the Anglo-Abyssinian Treaty of May 14, 1897, stimulated: "The tribes occupying either side of the line shall have the right to use the grazing grounds on the other side, but during their migrations it is understood that they shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the territorial authority. Free access to the nearest wells is equally reserved to the tribes occupying either side of the line." (Letters of June 4, 1897, exchanged between Sir Rennell Rodd and His Highness, the Ras Maconnan. For this purpose the Abysinian and British missions followed the route Dahah-Bur Ado, Walwal, and arrived together at the latter place at, about 11:30 a.m. on November 23, 1934. On the previous day, the Fitaurari Shiferaer, Governor of Jijiga and the Ogaden, commanding the Joint Commission's escort, had already arrived at Walwal to prepare the camp. 2. The commission, on arriving at Walwal, found itself faced by an armed Italian "banda" consisting at the time of 250 men under the orders of a Somali non-comissioned officer, who called upon it, under the threat of his rifles, to move off. The commission and its escort nevertheless installed themselves at Walwal in the vicinity of the wells necessary for its water supply. With the Abyssinian mission's authorization, the British mission hoisted its national flag. After the camps of the Abyssinian and British missions had been established, the existence of a fortified post flying the Italian flag was observed on an eminence about 1,350 metres to the south. Imprisons Abyssinian During the morning a non-com missioned officer of the Abyssinian escort was taken prisoner with his rifle by the Italian "banda." 3. After the installation of the commission in its camp, a letter in commander the commander of the Abyssinian escort, who, in reply, asked that he should be addressed in Amharic, French or Italian (Annexes 1 and 2). "Emperor Haile Selassie, of Ethiopia who will lead his troops into battle. In a recent address to his followers the King of Kings stated that Ethiopia men would die to the last man before they would submit to Italian domination." Emperor Haile Selassie, of Ethiopia who will lead his troops into battle. In a recent address to his followers the King of Kings stated that Ethiopia men would die to the last man before they would submit to Italian domination. A joint letter from the two Abyssinian and British commissioners was also sent in the afternoon of November 23, 1934, to the commander of the Banda Sector, protesting against the "banda's" armen opposition to the establishment of the joint commission at Walwal, this letter containing a statement of the reasons for the commission's presence at that spot (Annex 3). 4. At about 6 o'clock on the morning of the following day, November 24, 1934, the British commissioner, Lieut-Col. Clifford, received a visiting card dated Warder, November 23, 1934, addressed to him personally by Capt. Cimmaruta and asking him if he desired an interview (Annex 4). escort were face to race, separating them from one another, by affixing marks to tree-trunks, but the Abyssinian commissioner was unable to accept this proposal so as not to imply recognition of a ten-ritorial right in Italy's favor. On being asked to withdraw his troops a few metres, so as to give the Abyssinian escort free access to the water it required, Capt. Cimmaruta refused this request, while offering to allow water to be taken behind the line of his "banda" an under its supervision—an offer which was rightly regarded as in acceptable by the Abyssinian escort in its own territory. The Italian officer persisted in his uncompromising attitude an refreshed in an interview (Annex 4). A joint reply by the British and Abyssinian commissioners informed Capt. Cimmaruta that he would be expected at the camp at about 10 a.m. (Annex 5). 5. On his arrival at the camp towards the end of the morning of November 24, 1934, Capt. Cimmaruta, declaring himself incompetent to discuss the substance of the International Commission's protest, stated that he desired to confine the conversation to the question of the capture of the Somali non-commissioned officer of the Abyssinian escort (related in the last paragraph of No. 2 above), explaining that this man, who was alleged to have previously deserted from the Italian army, taking a rifle with him, had voluntarily given himself up. He proposed that a joint enquiry should be conducted into his case. Italians Try Trickery At the urgent request of the Abvysinian and British commissioners, Capt Cimmaruta consented to write a letter acknowledging receipt of the protest of November 22, 1934 (Annex 6), and to discharge the occurrence of incidents between the Abvysinian escort and his "banda." 6. Capt. Cimmaruta proposed that a line should be drawn in the area where the "banda" and the escort were face to race, separating them from one another, by affixing marks to tree-trunks, but the Abyssinian commissioner was unable to accept this proposal so as not to imply recognition of a territorial right in Italy's favor. On being asked to withdraw his troops a few metres, so as to give the Abyssinian escort free access to the water it required, Capt. Cimmarita refused this request, while offering to allow water to be takers behind the line of his "banda" and under its supervision—an offer which was rightly regarded as inacceptable by the Abyssinian escort in its own territory. The Italian officer persisted in his uncompromising attitude and refused to consider a more acceptable modus vivendi, threatening to call up reinforcements. 7. At 4 p.m., two Italian military airplanes, S.O. 4 and S.O. 7, arrived from the south and flew over the camps of the two missions and of the Abyssinian escort, on which the respective national flags were flying, divin~ repeatedly. The crew of airplane S.O. 4, in the course of its manoeuvres at a low altitude, trained its machine-gun on the Anglo-Abyssinian commission, a fact observed by the Abyssinians present and by the four members of the British commission, Mr. Curle, Capt. Taylor, Lieut Collingwood and Corp. Griffiths. In view of these hostile demonstrations, the British and Abyssinian missions stealthy drew Capt. Gimmaruta's attention to the incompatibility of such action with international courtesy, and informed him that their camp would be removed to Ado as soon as possible. New Protest Confirmed This new protest was confirmed in Newtown by Col. Clifford to Capt. More for less seems to be the guiding principle. Mussolini's Planes Trained Guns on Peaceful Commission Capt. Cimmaruta remained with his "banda" during the whole of the night of November 24 to 25, informing the British commissioner that he allowed freedom of movement only to the British officers. This proposal was declined by the British commissioner, who ordered his personal escort to remain in camp. 8. The Abyssinian escort and the Italian "banda" remained in their respective positions. On theian to the commander of the Abyssinian and British missions retired to Ado to await the Italian Government's reply to their protest. After that, the situation remained stationary until 3:30 p.m. on December 5, 1934, as described under No. 11, and correspondence was exchanged between the commission and Capt. Cimmaruta concerning the incidents of November 24, 1934 (Annexes 8, 9 and 10). 9. On November 26, 1934, Capt Cimmaruta addressed a threatening and discourteous letter in Italian to the commande rof the Abysinian escort, in which he refers to an officer of an important Abysinian chief, the governor of the Province of Ogaden, as "Capo Chifta" (brigand chief) (Annexes 11 and 12). 10. According to certain information, it appears that these desert regions had already been visited in 1932 by native patrols of the italian military forces. That cannot in any way, justify the setting-up of fortified posts, the establishment of officers of the regular army, the exercise by them of a military command in Abyssinian territory or opposition to the free circulation of regular Abyssinian forces engaged in escort duty and the protection of an international commission in Abyssinian national territory. Abyssinians Killed 11. At 3:30 p.m. on December 5, 1934, the Italian troops of Capt. Cimmaruta suddenly and unexpectedly attacked the Abyssinian escort which had remained opposite them, with the assistance of tanks and Italian military airplanes, killing a large number of Abyssinian soldiers belonging to the escort. The survivors of the Abyssinian escort then fell back upon the joint camp of the Abyssinian and British missions at Ado, about 30 k.m. in the rear (Annex 13). 12. The facts described above are taken from the joint report of the Abyssinian and British commissioners, dated November 30, 1934 (Annex 14). Ample proof that the Italian attack was premeditated is to be found in the report dated December 9, 1934, signed by the Abyssinian commissioners and addressed from Haradigit to the minister for foreign affairs (Annex 15), and in the letter dated December, 1934, addressed from Warder to the Abyssinian commissioner, Fitaurari Tessama Bantz, and to the officer commanding the escort, Fitaurari Sheferra, by Capt. Cimaruta (Annex 16). This letter (see report, Annex 15) reached the international commission at Ado during the night of December 5, 1934—that is to say, after the engagement in the afternoon (see engagement. No. 2. of the International Commission of December 10, 1934, Annex 17). 13. Further proof is supplied by the results of the examination of a deserter from the "banda." of the name of Egal Yusuf, on December 11, 1934, at Haradigit, by the British and Abyssinian commissioners. Alexander Tannered Plane Attacks with Rombs 14. The commission having left Ado finally on December 8, 1934, the Italian military airplane, flew over that place-the same day, as BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL the British commissioners, Lieut. Collingwood and Corp. Griffiths, are prepared to attest. Immediately after their departure, when a rear-guard of the escort had remained behind with some of the commission's baggage to protect the commission's retreat and collect the wounded who were straggling back from Walwal, an Italian military airpane dropped five bombs over Ado, and one of these, which did not burst, was conveyed to Haradigit, where it was found to weigh $27\frac{1}{2}$ pounds. After having been photographed, this implementation was buried in the ground to avoid any possible accident. The photograph will be forwarded later. The legislative action which gave the institution the right to confer the graduate degree was in recognition of the high standards set by the institution under the leadership of President J. W. Hale, one of the South's leading educators.

Booker Washington's Son Earns Master's Degree ARCH McDONALD AGAIN ACCUSED OF RACE SLAP Columbia Sports Announcer Flayed for Use of Insulting Term on Air Numerous telephone calls and letters to Arch McDonald, Columbia Broadcasting System sports announcer, criticized him for the use of the word "ugger" during his report of the Louis-Levinsky fight last Wednesday night in Chicago, it was learned by the Tribune early this week. Colored residents of Washington directed written and verbal condemnations at both him and station WJSV, from whose studios he was broadcasting at the time. Officials of the station and McDonald denied that the latter used the insulting term, and stated that the offense was not permissible. Tribune Writers Hear Remark Despite the denial, there were many who testified that they actually heard McDonald use the word. Included in this group were Samuel H. (Sam) Lacy, sports editor of the Tribune; Morris L. Murray, Tribune columnist; Miss Beatrice Murphy, special writer for the Tribune, and Clarence O. Kelley, registrar of the Cardozo High School. Of the numerous letters sent to the announcer, the one by Mr. Kelley was perhaps the most vehement. It follows: "Your account of the Louis-Levinsky fight last night was very interesting until you erred and announced that "the nigger dropped Levinsky," etc. "I have listened to your accounts of various sporting events in and around Washington since your arrival from Nashville and found them to be accurate and very entertaining; but never have I heard you refer to an Italian as a 'dage, a Jew as a 'kite, or a white American as a 'cracker." "I really think that in the excitement caused by the event you were reporting you did not mean to utter that insulting remark to such a vast audience. Be a sport and apologize to your public! "Very truly yours, "CLARENCE O. KELLY, "Registrar, Cardozo High School." Religious Workers' School Closes at West Va. State INSTITUTE.

To eat enough means proper digestion, ample sustenance and the maintenance of good health. On the other hand, excessive eating will prove productive of disorder digestion and injury to health. Epicdreamism has always been detrimental, while modulation has ever been contributory to health and happiness. For these reasons which so often have been substantiated it is certain for the general run of humanity, enough, just enough, is far better than a feast with prevalent excesses and destructive effects.

It is generally understood that colored people will choose seats to the rear of the coach and we can not say that we experience any difficulty in this regard.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING AUGUST 17, 1935 OFFICER BEATS YOUTH IN SOUTHEAST Policeman Aided by White Beat Boy with Night Stick and Blackjack Residents of the Southeast section were reused into a state of indignation last Wednesay night following a pitched battle between a white policeman and an 18-year-old youth, during which the latte was allegedly beaten into a state of helplessness by the officer. The youth, Paul W. Yates, living at 267 Seventeenth Street, Southeast, was taken into custody, following the disorder, and lodged in a Fifth Precinct cell. He was arraigned the following morning before Judge Robert E. Mattingly and ordered held in bond of $1,000 pending a trial by jury on August 28. According to the story told by witnesses, (all people living in the neighborhood in which the affair occurred), Yates was sitting on the steps of a house at 1404 C Street, Southeast, in company with several friends. Talk was of an arrest of another youth by Policeman T. Smithson, white, of the Fifth Precinct, a short time previously. Didn't Like Boy's Grin Smithson, it is said, came sauntering down the street after having placed his first prisoner into a patrol, and up to the group sitting on the front of the C Street house. Yates, witnesses say, was upbraided by the officer for grinning at him. An argument followed. During the course of words between the two men, the officer reputedly became angered and placed Yates under arrest. Yates objected to being taken on the strength of his own assertions and those of his associates that he had been doing nothing to justify arrest. Two Whites Beat Youth He refused to go with Smithson, residents say, and the policeman, unable to take him to the box without resorting to violence, struck the lad. Yates retaliated allegedly knocking the patrolman down. The latter, witnesses aver. aided by a white male resident, overpowered the youth, beating him with his night-stick and black-jack. Mrs. Henrietta Willimus, 1404 C Street, Southeast, and Miss Bernice Gant, 1321 C Street, Southeast, two of the group from which Yates had been taken, told the Tribune that the officer, after having subdued his prisoner, stood on the running board of an automobile and brandishing his revolver dared "any of you d.... n.... to come near me." Charges of disorderly conduct and assault were placed against Yates. Smithson, sporting a bruised eye, lacerated lip and nose, in his report to superiors stated that he was struck by Yates and used his service weapons only as a means of maintaining his arrest. He further reported that he was assaulted by "six or eight colored men whom I can identify." May Remove C.C.C. Camp Because of White Opposition SHELBY, N.C.

ALSO ON SALE IN NEARLY ALL LEADING STORES "NEGROES BETTER ABLE TO TAKE IT," SAYS N.Y.WRITER Although the colored population of New York has been the hardest hit by the depression it has suffered the least emotionally, according to Gwendolyn Bennett, writer and commentator on social conditions of Hardem and director of the Negro Radio Forum under the auspices of the Welfare Council of New York City. "Although my people have had a terrible time of it during the past few years," said Miss Bennett, "today they have a firmer grip on themselves than ever. "Many leaders of Negro life in America have agreed that an explanation of this social phenomenon lies in that the Negro, more acclimated, to speak, to the bitter gales of adversity, was better equipped temperamentally to 'take it.' "A profound psychological change has been wrought in the Negro mind by the realization that from now on he will probably fare better because economic readjustments have practically proclaimed for him a new emancipation." In the Negro Radio Forum, heard every Friday over Station WBNX at 7 p.m., Miss Bennett interviews leaders whose comments are pertinent to welfare problems of the race SHOCK KILLS AILING WOMAN FARMVILLE, N.
