Mrs. Blanche Grinnell is Stricken With Heart Attack at Temple
Struck with a heart attack while attending the Shriners' pageant at the Masonic Temple, last Monday night. Mrs. Blanche Grinnell, 1443 Q Street, Northwest, was removed to Freedmen's Hospital, where she died a few hours later.
Dr. A. McGruder MacDonald, white, District coroner, declared her death was due to heart failure.
The ball room of the Masonic Temple was filled to overflow with people who came to see the pageant. With only a few electric fans in the auditorium, Mrs. Grinnell is said to have fainted.
Those close to her thought that she had been overcome with heat, but an examination of Freedman's Hospital attendants revealed that she had a weak heart.
Mrs. Grinnell's funeral will be held Friday from the family residence, with the Reverends George O. Bullock, pastor of the Third Street Baptist Church, and W. O. Carrington, pastor of the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, officiating. Burial will be in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery.

Fraternals in Session Here Stumped By Red Tape
The Bureau of the Budget of the U. S. Treasury Department, this week, sent an estimate of $22,200 to the United States Congress, through the District Commissioners, on the joint resolution authorizing the use of $39,000 for the maintenance of life, health, and property during the Shriners' and Elks' Conventions. The estimate was $6,800 less than the amount of money the Congress had authorized for use during the two conventions. Despite the fact that the President had signed the bill authorizing the use of the funds, necessary red tape before the money could actually be disbursed delayed the use of the money, and the Shriners' Convention began without the use of any of the funds.
To date the money has not been set aside. The estimate given by the Budget Bureau has been sent to Congress and it must now pass a bill which appropriates the sum of money estimated by the Treasury Department before any of the funds will be available for expenditure. Whether this bill will be pushed through Congress before the Elks' Convention opens here Sunday, is a question of great speculation, as both Houses are now tied up with several "Must" measures that the President has demanded must be (See $32,800, Page 2).
FLASH!
The Knights Templar of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine held their parade today at 1 o'clock. The Shriners' organization, which was to have paraded yesterday, was called off because of rain- and will not be held this session.

TEACHER ON
COP CHARGE
Mrs. Alberta Turner Fires Denial at Policeman Who Accused Her
Charges of assault and disorderly conduct, lodged against Mrs. Alberta Turner, of Falls Church, Va., by a Twelfth Precinct policeman, were dismissed following an acquittal verdict returned in jury branch of the Police Court; Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Turner, a teacher at the Burrville School, was accused of having struck Officer M. R. Krech, white motorcycle pxrolman as he was taking her into the Twelfth Precinct Station on July 20. She had been arrested on a speeding charge.
The officer told a jury before Judge Gus A Schuldt that Mrs. Turner ran into his motorcycle as she drove up to the station behind him, and that she had conducted herself in disorderly fashion before and after she had been taken into custody.
Denies Attack
The teacher denied having struck the policeman and testified that he became energized when she accidentally nosed his motorcycle with her machine while parking. She stated that Krech snatched open the door of the automobile and pulled her out of it. And, when she admonished him with the reminder that she was "a lady," the officer is said to have replied sarcastically "A lady."
Attorney Perry W. Howard, who represented Mrs. Turner, charged that Krech accused the school teacher in an effort to shield his own "disgraceul conduct."
Mrs. Turner was fined $5, on the speed charge. The disorderly conduct case was dropped with the completion of the assault charge.
Bailiff Has Too Many Prisoners; One Escapes
Theodore T. Harrison, 21, 1636
Fifth Street, Northwest, escaped
the strong arms of a police court
bailiff Wednesday after electing
to pay fines totalling $65 on
charges of operating a car on a
suspended permit and operating
a taxicab without a license. Judge
McMahon sentenced Harrison who
elected to pay the fines rather
than serve 40 days in jail.
En route to the cashier's office
Harrison, one of the three prisoners
in the custody of the court
bailiff, broke away. The bailiff
refused to pursue the prisoner being

James M. Smith Linked to Housebreaking and Rape Case by Accusers
Positively identified by witnesses, as the man who, last Spring, paid several visits to houses in the 2100 block of L Street and to other places in the neighborhood, James Mathew Smith, also known as John Henry Smith, 1510 Seventeenth Street, Northwest, was formally charged with the sex-murder of Mrs. Florence Dancy, 2139 L Street, Northwest, last April. Smith was arrested last Saturday, and two days later was booked as the man who on April 12, last, strangled the woman, widow of a former recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia and left her locked in an upstairs bedroom. The man was taken from a sick-bed at the Mount Alto Hospital where he had been confined for a short time previous. Headquarters Detective Sergeant Sweeney, white-made the arrest, which was at first meant to be on a charge of bigamy.
According to police, Smith is the possessor of two wives. And like in many another case, a woman was his downfall. In this case there were two.
Two Wives Meet
It was probably fate that threw the two of them in Gallinger Hospital at the same time. It developed that they were both married to the same man. One, who claimed to be the first wife, gave her name as Mrs. Helena Perkins Smith and stated she wed the alleged murderer in December, 1932.
The other woman gave her name as Mildred C. Springgs and declared she married in June of this year. Both marriages were grilled to have place in the District of Columbia.
When taken to headquarters, Smith was found to be in possession of several articles, one of which was an automobile operator's permit, belonging to Harvey Aiken, 1129 Eleventh Street, Northwest. Aiken was victimized not long ago by a burglar who made off with the articles found on the person of Smith.
A short time later, police discovered that their prisoner fitted the description of the man suspected of having criminally assaulted and killed the aged Dancy recluse in her L Street home.
Charged With Assault
Miss Ethel Shipley, 2454 Ontario Road, Northwest, Mrs. Marie Walker, 2137 L Street, Northwest and Vincent R. Cilento, 2811 Twelfth Street, Northeast, faced Smith at a police line-up. He was identified as the man who called at the home of Mrs. Walker to inquire for a room and was later seen at the home of Mrs. Daney. Mrs. Martha T. Chase, of Rockville, Md., also accused Smith as the man who criminally assaulted her in March of 1834, when she was living at 1505 S.warn Street, Northwest. Assistant District Attorney Charles B. Murray, in charge of the prosecution of Smith, told the Tribune yesterday (Wednesday) that the information was in the hands of the grand jury, but a report on the indictment had not as yet been returned.
Meanwhile Sergeant Walter S. Beck, homicide squad detective, who was assigned to the ce when it first broke, is still hoping to crack the prisoner, who steadfastly maintains he is innocent of the rime.
Dignity is like a perfume: Those who use it are savely conscious of it; but "put on dignity" is a pain in the neck to many of us.

NEGROES ESCAPE SERIOUS INJURY IN BUS ACCIDENT
Twenty persons, all of whom were returning from a church outing at Sparrow's Beach, Md., escaped possible serious injury late Tuesday evening as a bus in which they were riding on a return journey to Washington crashed head-on into a passenger automobile and turned over.
Occupants of the passenger machine were more fortunate than those in the automobile. In the automobile were riding three Catholic nuns, the father of two of them and the sister of the third, all of whom were white, and were killed in the crash.
None of those in the bus was seriously hurt, though they were treated at the Casualty Hospital here and in Maryland by the Glendale rescue squad.
The occupants of the bus were members of the Gethsemane Baptist Church, 2205 Virginia Avenue, pastored by the Rev. J. T. Harvey. They were returning from a church picnic at Sparrow's Beach, Md., when the large sedan carrying the five personal skidded on a sandy shoulder and was thrown across Defense Highway, directly into the path of the oncoming Capital Transit bus carrying the picnics.
The driver of the car is said to have attempted to steer the car back on the road as it slipped off the wet asphalt highway on the shoulder three feet below the road. When the two vehicles collided, the automobile was completely demolished and the bur, driven by Albert Mason, white careened across the road and overturned.
Those brought to the Casualty Hospital and treated were: Sophie King, 52, and Louise King, 32, 2200 Virginia Avenue; Louise Thomas, 37, 2309 Virginia Avenue; Alberta Mason, 40, 834 New Hampshire Avenue, and Beatrice Harvey, 21, 2205 Virginia Avenue.

DEATH TR'CK DRIVER HELD FOR JURY
Charge Manslaughter to Man Who Drove Ten Years Without Permit
A coroner's jury investigating the circumstances under which two year-old Gladys Tindall, 86 Myrtle Street, Northeast, met death last Saturday evening when struck by a truck in front of her home, held Joseph Wayne, 134 Shotts Alley, Northeast, the driver of the truck, responsible for the death.
Operator of. Vehicle Without Driver's Permit
Wayne has operated automobiles on Washington Streets for the past ten years without a driver's permit, according to his own testimony. Sergeant William J. Liverman testified that Wayne's driving license had been revoked in 1925 when he was arrested and convicted on a charge of driving while drunk and leaving the scene after a collision.
Testimony presented at the hearing showed further that Wayne was convicted of driving without a permit in 1934, and also again as a hit-and-run driver.
Girl's Body Hurtled Through Air
The two-year-old daughter of Mrs. Mabel Tindall! Mack was struck by a truck driven by Wayne when she attempted to cross Myrtle Street in front of her home. Witnesses stated that although the truck was not running at an excessive rate of speed, the girl's body was thrown in front of the automobile four feet from the pavement before being run over.
Police Officer Horace E. Cranfan, of the Sixth Precinct, told the coroner's jury that a blood spot was found in the middle of the street, three feet away from cars which were said to have been parked on the south side of Myrtle Street at the time of the accident. From the testimony of the witnesses, Wayne was not driving lessly. Mrs. Virginia Reed, 91 Myrtle Street, gave her version of the collision by stating that Wayne could not have avoided striking the child.
New Negligent Homicide Law
Coroner A. Magruder McDonald instructed the jury on the new homicide law recently enacted as a deterrent measure against reckless driving, stating to the jury that they could find that Wayne was negligent and yet not reckless and wanton, and such finding would subject Wayne to a sentence of not more than a year in prison under the new law.
The human race is divided into two classes; those who go ahead and do something, and those who talk about how it should be done.

Procter and Gamble Discriminates in Amusement Park Program
Two coupons, one pink, the other green, became the center of attention this past week as Negro residents of the District sensed a move of discrimination on the part of the Procter and Gamble Distributing Company.
The coupons represented an offer of free rides and uses of the concessions, at local amusement parks to purchasers of Chipso flakes or granules. The pink strip, containing coupons entitling the holder to six rides, was to be used at Glen Echo Park and was obviously for white patrons.
The green slip was made up of coupons for rides at Suburban Gardens, Negro amusement park.
A Difference
Both strips were printed in the same type and style. But there was this difference. On all Glen Echo rides the coupon entitled the holder to a free ride. On all save one of the Suburban Gardens rides the holder was required to pay 5 cents along with the coupon. Concessions at the Maryland amusement park were thrown open free of charge, but at the colored park a part payment was necessary for use of the concessions. Arthur J. Brosseau, white, in charge of the Suburban Gardens, told the Tribune this morning (Thursday) that he could not explain the reason for the difference in treatment of white and colored patrons of Procter and Gamble products.
Signed Same Contracts
Mr. Brosseau declared that he and officials of the Glen Echo center were in conference with the soap company authorities at the same time, and that both of them had signed contracts that were identical in every respect.
Asked if there was any difference in costs of the concessions at the two parks, Mr. Brosseau said there was none. The cost, therefore, to the Procter and Gamble people was no more at one park than at another, he said.

MUTILATED EX- CONVICT MAY NOT ACCEPT STATE JOB
RALEIGH, N.C. (ANP)—That Woodrow Wilson Shropshire, former convict whose feet were amputated following confinement in the dark cell on a road gang, may spurn the job offered to him as provided by the state legislature, was revealed here Tuesday when Oscar T. Pitts, acting superintendent of the State prison announced that the ex-convict had declared that he had not made up his mind about it.
This announcement came as a distinct surprise to the prison authorities as well as the legislators who provided the way for the maimed man to make a living. Shropshire is alleged to have told the superintendent that he was not yet certain that he was physically able to do any kind of work, not even the light job which was being prepared for him. He is at present trying to "get used to his stumps" and had given work very little thought.
Orders have been issued for his immediate physical examination and the opinion was expressed that Shropshire was under the impression that if he did not take the job eventually he would be pensioned by the state. This opinion was the result of a statement assured to him to the effect that he would do nothing until he con-
firmed his lawyer.

Dr. George Ruhland, health officer of the District, was reminded this week by the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the attention of the police should be directed to major problems of the city rather than to minor ones that do not constitute a health problem
The letter, written by A. S. Pinkett, secretary, called attention to the fact that police have given notice to a small church in Georgetown directing the members to clean a patch of weeds from a vacant lot within seven days while officers and the health department have overlooked a real health hazard in the vicinity of U Street in that garbageb is permitted to stand in alleys for several days without the police or health department taking action.
The letter to Dr. Ruhand fol-
The letter to Dr. Ruhand follows:
"I have before me a peremptory notice directed to a small church in Georgetown, ordering the abatement of a nuisance within seven (7) days, under penalty of punishment at the hands of the law. That 'nuisance' consists of growing weeks in the vicinity of the church on a small lot belonging to that people.
Quotes Editorial
"I also have before me an editorial from the Washington Tribune of this week calling attention to a nuisance which apparently has not arrested the attention of your inspectors. (Copy of editorial is enclosed herewith)."

H.U. LAW SCHOOL AMONG 80 IN U.S. FULLY ACCREDITED
Acting Dean Addresses Elks' Educational Congress at Local School
Of the 193 residential law schools in America, only 80 of this number are both members of the Association of American Law Schools and on the approved list of the Section on Legal Education of the American Bar Association. Howard University is one of those 80 school's, according to William E. Taylor, acting dean of the university, before the Ellis' Educational and Economic Congress. Thursday in the auditorium of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. "To understand present-day legal education in this country, we must know something of four powerful national organizations, of lawyers, the combined membership of which have almost dictatorial powers over the practice of the law. These organizations are the American Bar Association, the Association of American Law Schools, the American Law Institute, and the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
"These four organizations, acting individually and in concert, are now controlling the form, the content, the subject matter, and the extent of legal education. The Section on Legal Education of the American Bar Association has set
Vital Statistics
up certain standards to which legal education should conform. It has decreed that legal education should be obtained by actually attending law schools. It has divided law schools into two classes;—"approved" and "not approved," and has decreed that only graduates of approved law schools should be permitted to practice law. This committee places on its approved list those schools only which conform to the standards prescribed by the committee.
"To obtain a legal education which meets present day requirements, one must therefore conform to the rules and regulations of these organizations. He must have the following pre-legal education:
"1. Graduation from an accredited high school.
"2. and, at least two years of satisfactory work in an accredited college or three years of satisfactory work in a Class B college.
"He must have graduated from a law school that is either a member of the Association of American Law Schools or on the approved list of the Section on Legal Education of the American Bar Association.
"One whose legal education does not meet these requirements may be able to make some use of his training; but he will not be eligible for admission to the bars of all state or to practice in all courts, or to fill all public positions which require legal training."

CHICAGO READY FOR NEGRO HISTORY CONCLAVE
CHICAGO, Ill. (ANP)—The actual program for the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History here on the ninth of September has assumed definite form. Four days will be devoted to these exercises.
On Sunday, the 8th, the day before the exercises begin, the visitors will be entertained at a musical in the auditorium of the new Wendell Phillips High school, and they will be further entertained on that same day at a Get-Acquainted Dinner at International House.
Mrs. Maude Roberts George chairman of the music committee has a number of faithful co-workers who with the local talent in that city will stage a real "After noon with Negro Musicians and Their Music," assisted by some outside artists like Clarence Cameron White and Roland Hayes who have been requested to participate. At the dinner that evening visitors with brief accounts of what they have done in this field will be introduced to respond to addresses by distinguished citizens of Chicago.
"I join with the editor of the Washington Tribune in the invitation to health officials to take a walk through U Street, N.W. from Seventh to Fifteenth Sts., get a whiff from any alley entrance on the route, and compare those growing weeds in Georgetown as a nuisance with the stench which fills one's nostrils at every alley.
"If you will do this, or have your subordinates do it, you will see the urgent need of immediately fumigating these cesspools of stench and of including in your budget for early construction an item for a public comfort station in this area.
"I particularly urge the immediate fumigation of these alleys as the section will soon be crowded with thousands of visitors in attendance upon conventions scheduled to be held here."

NOTE: Your question answered in this paper—ONLY when a dipping of this column is enclosed in your letter. For private reply, send a quarter (25c) and a self-addressed, stamped envelope, for my NEW ASTROLOGY EEADING—and receive by return mail FREE advice on three (3) questions. Sign your FULL NAME, BIRTH DATE, and CORRECT ADDRESS. Send all letters to Abbe Wallace, care of WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, 920 U Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C.
M. M. T.—Should I accept the proposal that I have just received from my boy friend or should I stay single and carry out my plans?
Ans.: It seems to me that if you would talk the matter over with your boy friend that he would see your point of view. Explain to him that you have been offered a trip to St. Louis this summer and that you had rather not get married until you return I feel confident that he will want you to make the trip. The trip will not interfere with your marriage if you go about it in the right manner.
E. C. B.—My friend has asked me to let him have a hundred dollars of my money to invest for me and I want to know if his proposition is a good one?
Ans: This friend of yours may know how to grow wheat but he does not know enough to take a hundred dollars of your money and make you rich playing the wheat market. Keep your money in the bank if you expect it to ever do you any good for it will never profit you through gambling.
E. R.—My daughter was willed some money and I am anxious to know if she will get it?
Ans: Your daughter will not get the money. Her godfather intended for her to get the money but he did not draw up his will legally and his children have received everything that he left. There is no way for her to receive the money and property for the children have practically disposed of the whole estate.
R. T. S.—What happened to my sister's guitar last summer?
Ans.: When you were entertaining on the Fourth of July last summer you employed an orchestra to furnish the entertainment and one of the members in this orchestra took this guitar. At this writing the orchestra is touring the Southern states but the party who took the guitar is not associated with them.
R. V. P.—Would you please tell me why sometimes I get so n.ean with my husband?
Ans.: Every since you were married your husband has humored your untamed disposition thinking that as you grew older you would outgrow it. You are quite grown now and you should feel ashamed and control your temper or else he may adopt the management that your mother used when you were young. Do not let your disposition cause you unhappiness.
J. P.—Tell me what is best for me to do? I am a kid boy of twenty-four years of age.
Ans.: I don't believe that you have the necessary capital to carry out your plans in your present business and think that you should give the idea up altogether. If you would move to the coast of Florida instead of living inland you will have a better chance to do the kind of work that you are interested in.
R. W. S.—I am not in doubt at all about my career which is before me but I want to know if I will ever accomplish my great ambition?
Ans.: Your desire to become the "World's Greatest Football Coach" will not materialize for you will recognition in Art. You will subtitle many times within the nec two years as a football coach
Class and devote most of your time to this field.
M. E. W.—What do you think of R. G. and is he sincere?
Ans.: You should not take this young man seriously for he seems to get quite a kick out of teasing and stringing girls long. He is a very slick talker and if you are not careful he will have you believing the same things that he has several other girls believing in your city.
F. H. J.—I received a card from a young man who was a pal of my brothers and I am wondering if I should believe what this card says?
Ans.: Indeed so, for it is true that your brother is in the hospital in Galveston, Texase. For the past few months he has been jumping from aeroplanes and just a few days ago his porchute hung on a tree and he was bruised up. Write your brother immediately and if possible he would enjoy a visit from you.
S. W.—Do I have any possible chance of regaining possession of the pistol that belonged to my husband?
Ans.: No, this gun has been sold. You should not worry over this affair so seriously for your brother did not have anything to do with this theft. It was taken by a total stranger to you and your husband.
W. F. R.—I attended a liner dance about a week ago and I was terribly embarrassed and I feel that I was a victim of circumstances.
ELEVEN
Ans.: Yes. th incident that happened at the dinner dance was uncalled for, but you will never be thought any less of by your friends however. The girl that deliberately turned the glass of water over in your place did so because of jealousy and she will be deprived from attending social gatherings of any kind in the future. Her guardian is very strict and she knows all about the whole affair.
D. C.—Would it be wise for me to quit the girl that I have been going with for so long?
Ans.: Yes, for it seems to me that your brother is taking up most of her time now and she had rather be in his company. Forget about her for she is very fickle and she will do him the same way in a month's time.
I. J. T.—Please tell me what I can do about my affairs at home for sometime I think I will go crazy?
Ans.: No doubt you will if you don't insist that your ex-husband and his wife leave your home and move to themselves. They can't seem to be satisfied with half the house that you are living in—they want it all. It is up to you to get out or make them move.
I. S. A.—I want to know if I quit my job and go into the business that I have in mind will I make a success?
Ans.: A good laundry is very much needed in your particular section of the city and since you have a very large washing machine you can begin a small business and work up to the top. The work that you are doing is against your health and is much too hard for one person.
P. S. W.—I want to know if there is a chance for my sister getting well?
Ans.: Although your sister has been very ill for about six months it does not mean that she will not get well. Just as soon as she is physically able to undergo the operation that your doctor has prescribed, she will be well again.
E. H.—Should I turn in my car and drop my crop and start hunting me a job or what should I do?
Ans.: If there is a chance in the world for you to live until you gather your crop you should remain. However, it seems to me that you will not farm next year or any other year, as you will begin working in the city. You would make a much better salesman than you would a farmer.
E. S. L.—Some weeks ago I meet a man and I dropped him a line and I want to know if he will answer my letter?
Ans: The young man received the card that you sent him but he has not had the time to answer it. You will hear indirectly from this party through a girl friend who lives in the same city. Don't become excited over him for he is not the type who falls in love.
M. B. H.—I want to know if I will share in my brother's insurance?
Ans: I do not contact you as receiving an money from your brother's estate. Everything that he had he left it to his wife and she will dispose of it as she sees fit. It does seem to me that there will come to you a small inheritance within the next few years through a different source.
G. C. M.—Should I marry my girl friend?
Ans.: You know as well as I do that she has deceived you many times and you continue to go with her—and since you know how she will act then go ahead—she wn't ever be any worse.
M. G. D.—Can you please tell me where I can find my husband's best razor?
Ans.: This razor disappeared when your husband was in his barber shop shaving a party who beats the initials of S.S. A young boy walked into the shop and when he left—the razor left with him. I cannot contact him regaining it.
B. A. B.—Why did this man quit caring for me who so suddenly crept into my life?
Ans.: This man is very temperamental and he acts on the spur of the moment always—he left you just as quick as he came—and he will do some other girl the same way. He just can't be satisfied very long with one party.
P. S. A.—Will you tell me please who placed the box of flowers in my car? Was it meant for some one else?
Ans.: No, they were meant for you. A secret admirer who works across the street from where you are employed had them placed there. He did not know it was your husband's birthday. Your ideas are wrong about these flowers for they wer for you instead of your husband.

8:30 p.m.
Local fans who have failed as get to observe Joe Louis in action will have an opportunity to get a close-up of the Brown Bomber at Griffith Stadium, Tuesday night, when he makes a personal appearance for the Lincoln Athletic Club during its 36-round boxing card. The Detroit lad, who in little more than a year of professional fighting has risen to the ranks of the nation's leading challenger to the heavyweight champion, will be awarded a medal for achievement by officials of the club.
Good Card Arranged
A number of prominent fighters will participate in the 36-round show, according to John W. Carter, Lincoln A.C. president. Al Dade, club matchmaker, has just returned from New York, where he completed the following program:
A feature go between Jack Rose, recent conqueror of Battling Mimms, and Willie Reddish, Philadelphia ring star; a semi-final between Tommy (rooster) Cross, Philadelphia, and Meyer Rowan, New York; a meeting of Billy Eley of this city with Phil McQuillan of New York; a clash between Tommy Mollis, Baltimore, and Johnny Freeman, Philadelphia, and a set-to with Knockout, Clark, Miami, opposing Bobbie Green of Philadelphia.
Rose Popular Here
Rose will be remembered for his sensational victory over Mimms not long ago when he substituted as the latter's opponent in the place of Umberto Arce, South American heavyweight. Louis will be accompanied by his two managers, John Roxborough and Julian Black, and his trainer, Jack Blackburn. To Blackburn is given much credit for the Detroit boy's exceptional success in the ring.

White Quits As Manager of Hillsdale Nine
Percy (Runt) White, stellar second baseman of the Hillsdale A.C., for the past five years and former star of the Wilberforce A.C., for the past five years and former star of the Wilberforce University diamond outfit, resigned as manager of the former team early last week.
The former college star gave dissension and general ill-feeling in the ranks of the 'Dales as his reason for quitting the post. Charles (Flash) Robeson, president of the club, announced that a successor to White will be named at a meeting tomorrow (Friday) night, at his home 705 Second Street, Northwest.

Postponement of Tilt Between Picked Teams Result of Bad Weather
Postponement of the proposed game between mythical teams of local white and colored semi-pro baseball was made necessary late last week with words from Vic Gauzza, white, president of the Washington Post Association, that bad weather had hindered completion of the Class A Association schedule.
As a result, Guzza can have no team available to meet the outfit selected by the Tribune from among colored semi-pro and sand lotnines. The Association president asserted, in a conference with Sam Lacy, who was to have headed up the uptown collection, that he could not feel justified in weakening some of the teams that were in the midst of the battle for Class A honors for the sake of the all-star game.
Unfair to Teams
Gauzaa was $ _{s} $ of the opinion that it would not be fair to those teams to take some of their players and place them on an all-star combination when their teams needed them, and with them, might win the association championship. A Class $ _{s} $ B team was available, Gauzaa held, but these men would not equal the performances of such as Pepco Barry, Fee Collier, Lefty Stevens, etc., stars of the first rank. In playing such a team $ _{s} $ could be drawn from the second section, Gauzaa declared, he would be unfair to the public. It is very likely the game will be played in early September, the Class $ _{s} $ A teams of the Association being scheduled to complete their slates by that time.

Athletics Succumb to Cubs' Rally After Scoring in Opening Tilt
A sixth inning rally by Stan Smith's Anacostia Cubs featured a double-header between the two Anacostia teams, the Athletics and the Cubs, last Sunday afternoon. The Athletics copped the first game by a score of 14-3 and bowed in the nightcap. 6-3.
Art Beverly, on the mound for the Athletics in the opening tilt, hurled effectively and held his opponents to 5 scattered bingles. His mates, meanwhile, were collecting 13 safeties for a comfortable margin
Ed Berry, ace of the Anacostia A.C., staff, was the victim in the finale, his opponents bunching the 7 hits he allowed despite the fact that he fanned 10 batters in between times.
A bid for the national tennis championships for 1036 was placed by officials and athletic department heads of Tuskegee Institute, it was revealed in circulars distributed this week.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
There's this difference between newspaper writing and radio broadcasting—your readers can always write back. And while on this subject of writing back, your humble correspondent had some more "fan" mail this week. Nothing new, though, I'm still "chicken-hearted" for thinking Joe Louis is a great fighter, and Paavo Nurmi (the 5-mile champion) is still "outstanding" as a SPRINTER. Or was it another Nurmi?

What this pillar'd like to know is why all the hullabaloo about Dr. Monty Cobb's discovery that Jesse Owens is no different, physiologically, from any other human being? That is, that he's the possessor of none of those characteristics educators, writers, scientists and athletic authorities of the other group have described as the reason for his superiority in certain competitive endeavors.
Dr. Cobb, in a recent examination of the Ohio State University sprinter's legs and feet, found that:
"The physique of champion Negro and white sprinters in general, and Jesse Owens in particular, reveal nothing to indicate that Negroid physical characteristics are anatomically concerned with the present dominance of Negro athletes in national competition in the short dashes and broad jump."
What puzzles this writer is what Dr. Cobb was looking for in the first place

A word of acknowledgment to Promoters Joe Turner and Goldie Ahearn, white local sponsors of boxing and wrestling shows at Griffith Stadium. The Turner-Ahearn combine came in for no little criticism during the past winter when it made a practice of using only those colored fighters who "clown" on boxing cards at the Washington Auditorium.
Word that these promoters are planning to book such boxers as will reflect credit on a race which is emerging from the "minstrel era" in leaps and bounds, is received with gratification. Matches like the recent Gene Buffalo-Sammy Blackburn booking can have space in news columns of this paper at any time.

And here'si one from a recent release by William Pickens, Associated Negro Press special writer:
"Max Baer, the German "Baer" meaning plain bear in English, might be called the "Big Bear," if we take the "Max" as a Latin root. He may be a big bear, but he evidently never read the advice that used to be given to ancient warriors when they were going forth to battle:
"Let him not boast that putteth on his armor
"Baer is bragging most immodestly about what he is 'going to do' to Joe Louis. Meseems it would be more appropriate, and much safer, to boast AFTER IT'S DONE. In such matters it is much better to say, 'See what I did,' than to risk. 'Let me tell you what I am going to do.'"

Fitch Wins from Southeastern Te
PETERSBURG, Va.—Unshaken by the prospect of facing a two-times national champion in the final match tournament, Harmon W. Fitch, collegiate star from Winston-Salem, N.C., twice pulled out of bad holes to finally win out in five sets in the annual Southeasterns played at Virginia State College, here last Saturday afternoon. The match, a rather drab, but closely contested affair, climaxed a week of good tennis. Eyre Saitch, veteran New York racketer, was the victim in Fitch's accomplishment. And his loss was due largely to the North Carolinians's dogged determination. Scores were: 6-1; 1-6; 6-2; 5-7; 6-4.
Comes From Behind
Trailing at 3-0 and again at 4-1, the 1935 C.I.A.A. and national collegiate champion put on steam to cop the bunting amid the applause of some 500 or more well-wishers. His victory was a popular one, mainly because a great majority of those present were students in C.I.A.A. colleges. Fitch later teamed with Dr. L. C. Downing, Roanoke, Va., in men's doubles to upset Dr. J. L. McGriff and John McGriff, Jr. Portsmouth father and son combination, by scores of 6-3, 1-6, 6-3, 5-7, and 6-4. Ora Washington, perennial champion from Philadelphia, was able to survive the revolt of challengers, as she acquired interest in three championships.
New Woman Threat
After a stubborn battle, Mrs. Agnes Lawson, of Prairie View, Texas, playing for the first time in the Southeastern, was subdued in women's singles by Miss Washington 6-3, 6-3, marking the seventh year that Miss Washington has won this event at the Southeastern.
In the women's doubles, Miss Washington and Miss Anita Gant, Washington, defeated Mrs. Emma Leonard and Mrs. Elise Coniek, New York, 6-2, 6-0.

Montello All-Stars Even Score With Ivy City Nine
The Montello Avenue All-Stars banged out a 14-9 victory over the Ivy City Junior A. C. in the second game of their three-game series plied at the latter's diamond, Wednesday. The final clash will be staged Thursday.
Russell Steward, uthful hurler of the All-Stars, held the Ivy Citians at bay for five frames, showing signs of wildness in the sixth when Manager Reed called in Babe Green for relief duty. Green, who played first base during the early innings allowed the opposition three hits and two runs during the four sessions he worked on the mound. The All-Stars scored six tallies in the opening inning.

The Willow Tree A. C. football team held its first workout of the season last Sunday. Practices are being held each evening at First and H Streets, Southwest at 6:30 o'clock. Old and new candidates are urged to attend.

Theodore Cousins, New York, national junior singles champion, ruled the junior division with ease and defeated Walter Stroud, Durham, North Carolina, by scores of 7-5, 5-7, 6-1.
Miss Mae Hamlin, Raleigh, N.C., dominated the latest addition to the Southeastern — junior singles (girls'). Miss Hamlin, a student at Palmer Memorial Institute, Sedalia, N.C., defeated Miss Ethel McDaniels, Richmond, Va., 6-2,

Talent From Four Cities to Vie for Hoover Trophy, August 31
The combined swimming talent of the District was being primed early this week to combat the invading forces from New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in the annual District A.A.U. swimming championships slated for Banneker pool, Saturday, August 31.
The out-of-town water marvels have been building up their weak points in an attempt to capture the beautiful F. W. Hoover team trophy from the Washington aggregation. The trophy has never left the city since the beginning of the annual events back at Francis pool five years ago.
Time Trials Held
Time trials were held at Banneker pool Tuesday. Ernest Marshall, District 50-yard champion, is expected to better his rank in the feature "Miller Memorial," while Leroy Williams, ace New York natator, is conceded a good chance to better the local 200-yard freestyle swim.
District A.A.U. officials will be on hand for the meet, assuring local swimmers credit for any record that may be bettered. The new butterfly breast stroke will be used for the first time in the meet.
Maryland Diamond Aggregation to Oppose Stellar High Point Outfit
The Huntsville Giants, who have been going great guns during the current diamond season, will take a fling at faster and better opposition Sunday when they take the field at Griffith Stadium against the strong High Point (N. C.) Red Sox.
The Huntsville outfit has been bowling over local opposition with unceasing regularity. At the same time the High Point aggregation has been going along at a consistent clip. The North Carolineans divided a well-played double-header with the Pennsylvania Red Caps, last Sunday afternoon.
The Marylanders include some of the city's best known diamond talent. Among them will be found George Ford, Ev. Jeffries, Lefty Bob Carter, Roy Powell, Johnny Randolph, Meiji Monroe, Sunny and Bobby Hawkins and the Hempton brothers.
Deanwood Athletics Bow As Quicksteps Awaken
The Virginia Quicksteps baseball team came out of its slump last Sunday afternoon long enough to score a double triumph over the fast traveling Deanwood Athletics at Green Valley Park, Va. Scores were 7-6 and 8-7.
The Deanwood outfit started hostilities in the nightcap as if it was planning on going places.
The eventual winners, facing a 6-run first inning of their opponents, fought a steady uphill grind to walk off with the decision and, as a result, the honors for the afternoon.
The Quicksteps counted 29 hits for the two games.
To Make Plans for Title Diamond Series
Managers of the following teams are urged to be present at a meeting to be held at the office of the Tibune, 920 U Street, Northewest, Monday night at 8 o'clock sharp: Aztecs, Hillsdales, Anacostie, Georgetown, Sandy Spring, Colesville, Myrtles, and Huntsville.
The meeting is for the purpose of making plans for a proposed championship series, and is of major importance to all local and nearly Washington title claimants.

WEDNESDAY
8:30 p.m.
Play in the Tri-tate Baseball League continued Sunday, with six teams engaged in postponed games and a seventh forfeiting, apparently calling it quits for the season. The standing was unaffected, the LeDroit Tigers and Oriental, first- and second-place teams, holding their positions by scoring double victories. The LeDroiters, heading the pack of Tri-State teams, stayed on top by defeating the hard-fighting Trojans and then finishing off the day with a handy win over the Washington Cubs. Scores of these games were 8-6 and 8-6. Down on the "Point," the Orientals reversed the order. The Southwest aggregation turned back the Cubs, 23-6, in their opener, then trimmed the Cubs, 11-3.
Arnett Tops Barnes
In the only other game of the circuit, the Cardinals took a well-played, hotly-contested affair from the Rajah-DePriest diamonders. The score was 3-2, Arnett besting Barnes in the hurrying duel. The second game, which carded the Forty Elks with the Rajahs, was forfeited by the former. Jack Craig faced Clyde Williams in the game between the LeDroit Parkers and the Trojans and pitched effectively, outlasting his diminutive portside opponent to cop the decision in the waning innings. Toler and Hawkins collaborated to score over the Cubs in the first game for the Prides of the Point, and the latter returned to take the measure of the Warriors in the Oriental nightcap.

NEW YORK CITY.—(ANP)—If news dispatches reaching here from Rome, Italy, are true, Carnera's plea that he had "been drugged" the night he fought Louis, fell on deaf ears and as punishment for losing the fight and thus "bringing dishonor to Fascist sportsmanship" his passport was ordered cancelled.

BANMEWER COURTS
TO BE NENICATED
With a certificate of member
ship in the American Tennis Asso-
ciation already granted, giving of-
ficial sanction to the Bison Ath:
etic Club's first annual _ tennis
tournament scheduled for Septem-
ber 3-7, inclusive, plans for the
event moved rapidly early this
week,
Martin Pree. chairman of the
committee in charge of entries, an-
nounced the acceptance of entries
from several _nationally-ranked
stars, assuring the Distriet net
fans ‘stellar competition in the
tourney. Practically all of the lo-
cal favorites and Baltimore stars
have also given their notification
of entering the competition. |
To Dedicate Courts
On the opening day of the tour-
nament, Tuesday, the new Banne
ker courts, where the net tourney
will be played, will be formally
dedicated. C. Marshall Finan, di-
rector of public buildings and
grounds, will turn over the courts
to the public, and Mrs. Gabrielle
Pelham, former community center
head and president of the Banne-
ker Recreation Center Council, wil
accept the same.
“Others to participate in the
dedicatory exercises will he the
Rev, D, E. Wiseman, G, Barret,
District’ recreation co-ordinator;
Thomas J. Anderson, president of
the Bison Athletic Club, and the
Community Center Band.
Preceding the exercises, an ex:
hibition match between the local
favorites, the Peters sisters, and
the doubles combination of Anita
Gant and Ora Washington, former
national doubles champions, will
be played.
SPORT SCRIPTS
For years Washington has suf-
fered from the laxity of national
representation in tennis circles.
Handicapped by the scarcity of
necessary playing space and organ:
ization of players, toe game of net,
ball and racket has fallen miser-
ably from the peak it once held un-
der the dome of the Capital, The
feats of Tally Holmes, four times
pational champion and often refer-
red to as the Tilden of Negro
tennis, Johnny Wilkinson, Dan
Monroe and Ted Thompson , last, of
the District national titlists, are
now history.
‘A revival of the court, interest
as manifested during the early
twenties seems to be on foot today.
From the untutored novice on
Whoozit Playground to the sea-
soned veteran who frequents the
few public pay courts available in
the city, a new impetus appears to
have cropped up over night. At
tempts to master difficult stroking,
and, at the same, time, acquire
grace and beauty in one’s efforts
have combined to lure hundreds of
newcomers to the courts. Many
who heretofore have sought recrea.
‘creational diversion in various
other pastimes have been won over
by the fascination of the game,
once called a sissy's game.”
wees
This added interest plus the
membership of the recently
organized Bison Athletic Club
in the American Tennis Asso-
ciation, ruling body of Negro
tennis, will, without a doubt,
boom the net game to its right-
ful place in the hearts of Dis-
trict sport followers. At the
same time, greater national
representation will result,
| But, like all progressive move-
ments, nothing will be accom:
plished without a fight. Yes, fight.
For that is what net enthusiasts,
particularly the players, must do
if additional courts are to be ob
tained from Goverument agencies.
We don't mean a good ole fistic
battle but one of those perpetual
protest fights, You know, the kind;
one like J. C. Wright waged over a
10-year period for reduced car fare
for school children,
Last week, the two segregated
courts at the Monument Lot were
excavated to make provision for
a PWA project, leaving only a doz-
en courts available m the entire
city to accommodate horde of net
players that on week end days
numbers approximately 300 or 400.

two concrete) in Anacostia,

ington’s playing space for ten-
nis. This dozen, of course,

indeed, a pathetic situ-
ation.” Yes, nothing is being
done about it.
eves
Earlier in this single-col, we stat-
ed that tennis was on the boom in
Washington. Well, it is. But, as
a reminder, we now say that no
activity no’ matter how much en-
thusiasm reigns, can flourish with-
out the proper and sufficient play:
ing faciities. In accordance with
this knowledge, a g-oup of play-
ers recently sent a vetition asking
for additional courts in Anacostia
to the Public Buildings and Public

ment as Taylor runs down. the
killey through a slender trail of
clues.
The killer, aware that he is be-
ing encircled fights back more and
more viciously. In 2 breath-

sister stage a race against death

Nugent from a house which con-
tains a time bomb

RUDY SMITH,
PIANIST AT
SHIP GRILL
NEW YORK (ANP)—Rudy
Smith the celebrated pianist who
holds the record for getting the
best jobs in the best places has
ricocheted from tho grill room of
the Hotel President, to the Ritz
Carleton to the swank Ship Grill
at Sutton Place and. 57th Street in
less than thtee weeks,
Playing his own compositions,
many of which have been bought
by ranking music publishers (Rob-
bins Music Company, and Mills)
Smith cannot and will not remain
at a night club where white musi-
cians do a repeat, A repeat is the
age old racket of hiring a colored
musician or artist antil the white
ones learn his numbers and create
his styles. Such artists as Fats
Waller, Putney’ Dandridge, Paui
Bass et al have been subject to
such stunts as the repeat.
When appearing at the Hotel
President Smith p:ayed his unique
arrangement of his own composi-
tion, “Manhattan Mclodrama” by
request. The couple who had ask-
ed for the number had previously
heard Smith play it when he was
featured at the Cotton Club, It was
received on this particular night,
as always amid anplause. But, two
night later, the white onusicians re
peated the song. The exact ar-
rangement as played by Smith for
a group of buyers in town for a
tittle fun, One of the musicians
had the brass to tell one of the
diversion seekers thai the number
was his own original composition.
Smith objected. One of the wait-
ers made a pass for Smith, but a
side-swerve by the cvlored ‘pianist
avoided what mizht have proved
very disastrous. Smith. quit—and
no one can blame hin.
Upon leaving the club a gentle
man approached him and gave him
his card with his business address.
The man proved to be the proprie
tor of a group of New York's most
exclusive chain restaurants. and
cafes. So now Rudy Smith is play-
ing the piano at the smart and
intimate Ship Gril on Sutton
Place. Only the rich go there, you
know.

The office claims that it was done with a "Malicious intent." Imagine that. The Samuel Cowards or at least Mary is going south next weep to see her mother. Henry Koger and his mother are going to truck along to Florida for awhile before the local institutions of learning reopen. Mary Dixon has already started shedding tears about it, but the other Mary seems to be taking it all as a matter of course.
Dear, delirious Elfrida Lightfoot is just rolling around on an auto truise taking in all the upstate, and even her own dear mater can't locate her. . . Have you heard about Rip Naylor? No, it isn't anything that would be rated as serious, but Mabel Wyche, one of the older sorors of Sara blew in town and donned her mother with an Auburn. Well, there was no one in the family to drive the vehicle so Rip applied for the grand honors and got the job. Of course you know he was so anxious to get in with the Wyche household. . .
George Handy is seeing America first with Georgetta Bullock. They expect to view the Golden Gate soon. . Ed Avant is sporting his sister's streamlined chariot along the main stem. . Belford V. Lawson, who already belongs to more organizations than Amos 'n' Andy, will toss his fedora in Alpha's presidential circle when the "Apes" meet in Nashville. . India Wallace leaves for Fisk U. about the idees of September. . Ed Williams has added just the thing his hideout needed—a nickelodian with "Fats" Waller playing every number. . Dorothy Fitchu Johnson is visiting relatives while she rests from the continued excitement of the city of subways, her ambition is to shelve martial tag. .

Live an' Learn
By JOSEPH C. OVERTON
Rambling With the Harlem Stroller
Again, Noble takes a note or two about things happening about town... It seems as though Dude is back at his old hangout at Second and H Streets since a certain young miss gave him the ritz. It had to happen, didn't it, Dude?... Honey and Buddy were seen strolling out Virginia Avenue the other day. Wonder if it is true love this time?... Ever hear of the Lush Club? Oswald Jack Wines is the so-called president and Raymond Smith, Paul Russali, Raymond Hawkins, Billy Carreglie and Percy Taylor are its loyal members. The boys have given up, the name of the Brigadiers since Robert King has decided to take a certain young miss to the gardens on meeting nights. He is the treasurer, too... Franklin Proctor was seen riding the bus after leaving his friend in Anacostia...
The Whole Town's Talking!
Ever hear of the mysterious waitress at Grimes' Grill? She is known only as Clara, but she is the peach of the garden..Samuel Spivey is hailed as the cigar man from the South. No wonder he smokes those big two-for-five inhalers. Latch on?. Scurf seems to be the ladies' man since the popular young man has secured a driver's license. Cars are known to swing with many a young lady from old times. Can it be true that Jocelyn Lombre is interested in Neil Patton of Oakwood Junior College since the young man visited the Banneker pool the other day? It must be love at first sight...Dick Ball was seen leaving Mike's Grill with a certain waitress Monday night. Wonder if he has given Dot the air since she went to the country?
Leonard Randolph, graduate of Dunbar High School and now a student at Howard, has been selected as manager of "Shadee" Steward's orchestra. Randolph is well known among the younger set, as he was president of the Federation of Student Clubs at the Masonic Temple last year. He is trying to build up the orchestra to 18 pieces, and any young person owning an instrument is eligible to join. See Randolph at 1851 Central Avenue, Northeast, or by calling Lincoln 4779.
Tit and Tat
Dick, the beer baron at Grimes' Grill, seems to be interested in Nancy Weems nowadays...Myrtle Payne likes to horn in on free beers here of late...Jefferson Humphries has stolen the better half of Charles Davis. She is none other than Helen Rice of Dean wood...Hillary Brown of Dean wood is trying to sing like the seping Bia Crosby since Danny Moore gave the young man a job. Catherine Green hangs around Suburban Gardens at night...Merrill Ezell is the new man about town among the coreds up on the hill. No wondes C. H. gives him the run-around...Note that Noretzel macrae tried her hand at working this summer, but is now trucking about town..
Hot Tips
Since a certain young coed gave Bunky of Third and I the air, he seems to be on his way back home to his old flame. Trying to take the place of your pals, E.R. and J.G., eh what?...Since the revue has been in the making, such personalities as Daniel Parker and Thelma Robertson have applied for a place as a dance and song team. Until next week, I'll be seeing you.
LOVE—THAT FUNNY THING
On the surface of things, love, like most other present-day things, is seemingly undergoing a revolutionary process. I base this alarming statement on purely journalistic observations. Years ago our foreparents used to resort to lengthy, old-fashioned courtships whenever two young things had become afflicted with the "love-bug." After this marathon period of wooing had reached the long-desired termination, the gay young 'uns usually decided to make matters legal. So, as a result, the customary visits were then made to the courthouse, the jeweler and the parson. Our forebears contend that the principal reason for the permanent marital conditions of the couples of yesteryear may be attributed directly to the "long distance courship period that we moderns make fun of today. They further argue that lovers had an opportunity to become thoroughly acquainted with each other's human weaknesses and attributes, likes and dislikes, tastes, things in common, etc. Most of all, the period of long wooing gave them an opportunity to find out whether or not their present state of affairs was a result of genuine love or temporary infatuation.
Today, even the most optimistic among us must admit that most matrimonial-bound souls of the current era usually foolishly wait until after they have seen the parson to realize that the pickle they now find themselves in was a result of the synthetic infatuation and not genuine love. After the glamor and illusion that formerly surrounded each other have completely worn off, it is small wonder that marriages built solely from these causes are blasted into sinithereens. Come to think
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING AUGUST 24, 1935
The Voice of Alexandria BY EDDIE NEWMAN
It's the Talk of the Town
Hello, Alexandrians! Here we are once again, and this time broadcasting directly from the ringside of the Buddie Ford affair given at his residence last week.
FLASH! FLASH! Get this: we wonder who won the endurance contest between Helen Lewis and the lovely Ernie Evans when they put on their Joan Crawford act with two young gentlemen who thought themselves Clark Gable and all the other screen sheels combined into one? And also, if Miss Helen broke her old record of last summer that was made with one Randall Hoole? We believe that one lasted five minutes. These young 'uns and their kisses are simply too much...Another flash! The affair was wedy, veddy gay; so gay in fact that Robert Day and our own and dear Ralph Lane almost floated through the air with the greatest of ease and without using circus rings and ropes, either. Was this scribe surprised, or was he shocked, as one Miss La Verne Evans would say?... FLASH! William Wilson and Marion Murphy were another couple who went in for those popular endurance contests. Teamed up at the affair we found that dear lad whom this columnist loves $o_1$ well (we mean to write up), Clinton Ball, and his lovely better half, Miss Marion Smith; also Ralph Lane and Mary Hancock. P.S.: How did he get home, Mary?... And now, a big carnation to Lawrence Brown for his vocal numbers, with Loretta Johnson's sister at the keys. This pair really put on a dvery fine act for the guests, for which we present them with hand-claps.
FLASH! Fats Wailer in midgut form (Freddie Carter) also gave us a fine show with the ivories. A carnation to you, my boy...And now for ye old pinch bowl. After collecting all of the spare silver among the males present, someone went for giggle water to give the juice a little twang. Well, to make a bad story short, the giggle water came back, but very little reached the punch bowl, as many of the boys preferred drinking life in the raw to a milder form. Shame on the lads!...And now among the very lovely guests we miss Misses Julie and Annie Wilson, Verma Carter, Loretta Johnson, her sister, the feminine Fats Wailer, La Verne and Ermine Evans, Marion Smith, B. Smith, Marion Murphy, Ruby Lane, Virginia Majors and Doris Bell. After reading some of these names you will surely say that Newman doesn't know the true meaning of lovely. Pardon the he-haws. And now, leaving this lovely affair, for which we shall and will give Buddie Ford full credit, we will scout around town and maybe to the big city for further information.
We See and Hear
Out on the hill we wonder what happened to the guy who owned the one and only capitol on wheels. We believe he did call upon Miss Thela Norton. Did Thela tell him to trade it in or did Mamma speak up for her rights? Only Thela can answer. Ask her...Down in Little Harlem we wonder why Miss Mary Shanklin isn't walking Queen Street anymore. What happened, Mary?...FLASH! From our secret agent comes this question to Margaret Brown: "Why waste your shoe leather walking the avenues? Make him ride you (if) there is one to do the riding." Nuf sed..FLASH! Special to Buddie Evans: Which one of these is your real heart interest: Miss Hilda Johnson,
of it, love is a funny thing, anyhow. You may wake up in bed one fine morning with the realization that you are suddenly in love with Mary Jones across the street or Johnny Smith who lives around the corner, and, gosh, darn it all, here you'd been thinking all along that you and she would never amount to anything more than casual acquaintances. Just as singularly, you may arrive at the grand conclusion that, come
think of it: "I really don't believe I love Jim any more. I'm just tired of him—he doesn't appeal to me any more." Haven't you and you and you heard these same statements uttered before? As long as human beings selfishly place their just for money, fine clothes, grand cars and beautiful mansions above unselfish love and devotion to their chosen soul mates, and unless we endeavor to combine a bit of the old fashioned traditions and customs with present-day trends and habits, true love may eventually become thoroughly commercial, or, as the French say, passe.
PERSONALITY SKETCH No. 7
Miss Inez Brown
A few summers ago when a bewitchingly enticing bundle from heaven was delivered to the Brown family by Sir Stork, the head of the family decided that it would be fitting and proper to name the little lady Inez Gretchen Brown and today, as this now rapidly maturing miss is reaching the age of discretion, she prefers to have her friends call her Gretchen Miss Brown is a native of Washington, D.C and although she has traveled through several states of the Union, she will believe there is no place like dexter old D.C. She is at present a Dun-
Coulta Mae Willis or the lassies who had you in a daze on Queen Street the other P.M.?...Another special to Miss Verna Carter: I'm sure you wouldn't mind telling us where you go strolling around town these quiet evenings or whose car you were in the other evening. Come on, be a sport and spill it... Scallions to the meddling neighbors who complained because a certain lad was practicing on his trumpet for the coming Elks' parade. Add more of 'em, for such doings boil your blood... In case the readers of this so-called sense of humor don't know it, scallions are wild onions with an odor very different from flowers—even a daisy. And so, from now on, you will know that scallions are not pats on the back...

This action, the announcement stated, was in keeping with the program devised to curtail the expenses o. operating the institution. Dr. G. Lake Imes, who was last year elected secretary of the institute, the first to hold the position since Dr. Emmett J. Scott, has been in the employment of the school for more than 25 years and Mr. Carter has seen, too, more than a store of years of service, having been treasurer for the past 10 years, taking over the position when Warren Logen was retired.

Jones, principal of the Model School for 32 years; Mrs. Lena Cheeks Shehea, after 28 years as secretary to the registrar and academic director and W. A. Richardson, who spent 27 years as assistant director of Mechanical Industries.

C., her native home; Mr. Richardson will remain at Tuskegee as will also Mrs. Shehee, whose husband is at present employed by the institute.
Isaacs May Succeed Carte
Concerning the possibility of replacements; it was learned that no successor to Dr. Imes will be appointed but that Mr. Carter will perhaps be succeeded by Lloyd Isaacs. Chicago, actuary and accountant for the Victory Mutual Life Insurance Company.
CHURCH FUNERAL DENIED GIRL
Difference Between Father and Minister Given As Basis for Action
Rev. Daniel Washington, pastor, First Baptist Church, Mt. Pleasant Plains, this week refused to let the funeral of Gertrude Brannon be held in his church. The basis of the refusal was an alleged difference between the woman's father, Robert Washington, and Rev. Washington. Mr. Washington, one of the first members of the church and of the Deacon Board, had reared this daughter as well as the rest of his children in the First Baptist Church. Mrs. Brannon had been an excellent worker in the Sunday School and church. According to the family, the alleged denial of the use of the church grew out of a disagreement between the member of the Deacon Board and the minister over Rev. Washington's actions in a board meeting.
Rev. Washington when asked, by a Tribune reporter, to confirm or deny this statement, said, "I have nothing to say, but what I have said!" He at first declared that Descon Brown, another member of the board, had been present at the time, but later withdrew his statement.
Mrs. Brannon's funeral was held today (Thursday) from the funeral parlor of Ernest Jarvis, 1432 U Street, Northwest.

By C. A. CORNISH
Columbia Lodge of Elks at its last meeting before the opening of the Grand Lodge Convention here, next week defeated a motion by which a group of lodge members attempted to have the lodge rescind its action taken at a previous meeting and take part in the grand lodge parade on next Tuesday.
zThe Past Exalted Ruler's Council No. 4 of which a large number of members of the lodge are a part, has also voted not to be in the parade.
The lodge house is decorated in Shrine and Elk colors with an array of colored lights which surround the spacious lawn on Rhode Island Avenue, and many comments, including the Imperial Potentate of the Mystic Shrine, has been received.
The Mighty Monarch Symphonic Band of Monarch Lodge, of New York City, will arrive on a special train from New York on Tuesday morning at 4:45 a.m. and will escorted to the home of Co'umbia Lodge by a special committee.

Mitchell "Forgets" Scottsboro in New Deal Talk
ANTHENS, Ga. — Cheers for the Roosevelt administration echoed Saturday, as Representative Arthur Mitchell, Democrat, of Illinois, member of Congress, declared it had devoted its energies toward helping the common man. Shout of, "that's right" and "you tell em" went up from a crowd of 1,500 whites and Negroes as the Representative, departing from his prepared address, asked "Haven't you been happier since Mr. Roosevelt became President than at any time during the administration of Mr. Hoover?" At the conclusion of Representative Mitchell's address a blanket resolution indorsing the administration and expressing thanks was unanimously adopted.
The resolution specifically expressed gratitude for reopening banks on a sound basis, passage of the Bankhead cotton production control bill. Federal relief for the destitute, the housing act, farm loans and the Tennessee Valley Authority. The occasion was "Negro A.V.A. appreciation," held on the anniversary of their first pay day for Negro T. V. A. employees in this section.

BEATS THERMOMETERS ON HOME GROUNDS
With this modern brand of weather we get, thermometers and how they read can have a lot to do with the performance of gasoline motors. For there are apt to be such wide variations of temperature in a single day. On June 17, for example, the temperature changes in three cities on the Atlantic Seaboard were as follows: Portland, Maine—low 60 degrees, high 80 degrees; Baltimore, Md.—low 71 degrees, high 93 degrees; Miami, Florida—low 78 degrees, high 88 degrees. These temperature variations make gasoline motors erratic in performance. A new gasoline, just marketed by the American Oil Company, makes motors give unifor., efficient performance in any weather. It is aptly called "Air Conditioned" American Gas.

WHY WE CALL IT "AIR-CONDITIONED" AMERICAN GAS
OUR new American Gas is called "AIR-CONDITIONED" because it does the same things for a motor that "air-conditioning" does for trains, theatres, stores, etc. It keeps the motor cool, sweet and efficient-no matter what the outside changes in temperature and humidity may be. For, even in the course of a day, a motor can be subjected to a lot of weather changes. And with existing regular gasolines it becomes erratic.
Because of its 100% Pure Petroleum Base because it is not acid treated—because it needs no added chemicals—because of our new refinery and modern processes—and because of careful adjustment of light end content—we have been able to condition this new American Gas to counteract erratic motor performance caused by changes in outside temperature and humidity.

Music Students In Classic Program
Twenty students of Mrs. Annie M. Garrett's Music Studio in Anacostia, were presented in a recital held Friday at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel F. Hawkins, 2342 Pomeroy Road, Southeast. A program of classical and semiclassical music was rendered. Among the participants on the program were:
Misses Sadie Cheeks, Hilda Brady, Anastasia Moss, Juanita McCoy, Muriel Cannon, Bernice Matthews, Alice Dodson, LaVerne Lane, Sylvia Brooks, Masters Benjamin Hughes, Everett Hughes, Misses Yvonne Rijos, Eva L. Parker, Jennifer M. Campbell, Rosa B. Knorl, Carrie Stewart and Little Miss Peggie Connies.
Miss W. B. Patterson, head of the community center project in piano forte and sister of the president of Tuskegee Institute, addressed the audience.
A picnic was held on the lawn after the program. The lawn was dotted with flowers and the children played ball, croquet and other games. After the games, refreshments were served to the guests.
As a result of all these things, it is 100% clean burning—does not leave harmful deposits—has greater net power—and nets more miles to the gallon. And for good measure, a higher antiknock rating than other regular gasolines to which chemicals are added for anti-knock alone.
Stop at any Yellow and Black American Gas Pump and fill up your tank with "AIR-CONDITIONED" American Gas. Then keep your car "air-conditioned" with "AIR-CONDITIONED" American Gas. Even though it costs us more to produce, it is being sold at regular gas price from Maine to Florida and inland by thousands of American dealers and stations.

TWO
ELK DELEGATES TO PAY A "BUCK" TO ATTEND BALL
Fee is Protested But Passed With Two Dissenting Votes
Delegates to the Grand Lodge Convention of Elks will pay the same fee as others to the Grand Lodge Ball to be held Wednesday at 9 p.m., it was voted by the general arrangement committee at its last session last night night. The committee voted to tax the out-of-town delegates the regular fee of $1 over the protest of Emory B. Smith and Nathan Dobbins, attorney. Smith declared that it would be embarrassing for the host lodges and temples to invite the convention to Washington and then tax the delegates for the entertainment.
No precedent had been established for the committee to go by as some conventions permitted the delegates to go in free while others taxed them the usual fee.
Smith charged that at the Atlantic City convention last year, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson told the delegates that they could go to the ball free. When they presented themselves admission, he said, those in charge of the ball would not permit them to inter without paying the tax. The arrangement committee was swayed by the plea of Thomas Cabiness, in charge of solicitations and donations, who declared that the committee had no right to pay the delegates' way into a dance, than they had to pay for their room and board while here.
Two Dissent
"If anyone should go in free it should be the members of this committee who have worked so hard for the success of this convention.
"If we allow the delegates to come in free it would not be room for those who have to pay to enter, and the delegates would leave the city, while the committee would have to meet the deficit."
The motion to tax the delegates was passed with only Smith and Dobbins dissenting.
Captain Arthur Newman, grand marshal in charge of the parade, reported to the committee that differences which existed between the parade unit and the Public Utilities Commission had been ironed out.
The Public Utilities Commission had ordered that the parade route be changed so as not to include too many streets on which street cars operate.
Parade Threatened
After a conference between Police Chief Ernest W. Brown, the public Utilities Chairman, Elgin, I. Finley Wilson, Dr Charles B. Fisher, Robert Ogle, and Captain Newman, Chairman Elgin agreed to allow the parade to march on as previously arranged by 'captain Newman'. Wilson had threatened to cancel the parade unless the rig officials agreed to accept the route planned by Captain Newman. John T. Rhines, director of the Elks' Athletic Department, announced that he had received word from three outstanding athletes that they would be here during the convention.
Louis, Owens To Come
Joe Louis will officiate at a banquet but sponsored by the Lincoln Athletic Club under the auspices of the Elks, Tuesday night at the Griffith Stadium. At four o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Jesse Owens and Eulace Peacock, will give an exhibition race in the Howard University Stadium. Louis and Peacock will be made lifetime Elks during the convention, and will be given a gold engraved membership card by Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson.
Lifetime Member
Owens was made a life time Elk last week during a meeting in Cleveland, Ohio. Wilson announced at the committee meeting last Friday night. He was also made Elks' director or athletics for the State of Ohio. Owens will receive his gold membership card at the time cards are presented to Louis and Peacock.

As was commonly thought by officials of both conventions, none of the $23,000, if appropriated, will be available for expenditure by the conventions, but will be disbursed by District officials $a_{i}$ it is needed to further precautions against the loss of life, health and property, an official at the District Building explained to the Tribune.
. Shriners' Attendance Below Par.
So far, it was said there has been no necessity for the use of additional funds since the Shriners' Convention. There has been no threatened loss to property that the present fire or police force couldn't handle, the Tribune was told, and the number of delegates in attendance is not sufficiently large to put additional police on the force. The number of Shriners here has fallen far below the number that had been estimated would attend. Whether or not the Elks' Convention will have a comparatively small number of delegates cannot be predicted, but from the preparations the local committee on arrangements have made, they are expecting the full 100,000 delegates and visitors which they have estimated would attend.
A suite of three offices have been rented in the Masonic Temple, and officials of the Grand Lodge of Elks have already begun arriving in final preparation for what they have termed the "Convention of the Century."

France was returned here from Raleigh Thursday noon, where he had been carried for safekeeping following his arrest in West Virginia.

BALTIMORE — Danny Small, propleiter of Small's Paradise Club here and former leading man of the late Florence Mills, died in Baltimore at Provident Hospital, Tuesday.
Danny Small is internationally known as a song-and-dance man, having appeared in Europe with "Blackbirds," and also conducted personal tours. He was stricken in his club here which he opened about a month ago, after deciding to make Baltimore his home. The entertainer was stricken on the floor of the club Saturday, while presiding as master of ceremonies, and was carried to the Provident Hospital, where he was said to be suffering from paralysis of the right side.
Mr. Small's brother, David Small, came from New York several days ago to operate the club during his illness, which everybody thought would be slight.
The body will be returned to New London, Conn., for burial, it was learned Wednesday morning.

NEW WORK PLAN TO PROVIDE JOBS FOR TRANSIENTS
Relief Clients Not in C C C To Be Given Employment Under New Agency A new program to provide transients with jobs in the Civilian Conservation Corps and on projects under the Works Progress Administration or in some other work relief agency was announced this week by Harry L Hopkins Federal Works Progress Admini strator. Several thousand persons being cared for by the District Transient Bureau will be affected by the new work relief policy.
Of the 4,392 persons on the rolls of the Bureau August 1, only 866 were colored, David G. Linden, acting transient director, reported to Elwood Street, director of Public Welfare. The 866 individuals included 9 unattached women, 74 families, 147 boys and 470 men.
Transients able to work and not absorbed by the CCC will be placed on local works projects or will be sent to localities where there is a greater need for workers to carry out the work relief program.
More than 80 per cent are able to work, it is estimated. Those unable to take jobs because of their inability to work will be sent home if possible, to be cared for by the State or community as "unemployables."
"White Crusaders" Fight Pa. Equal Rights Bil
NEW YORK — From Ellsworth, Pa., the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received a crude leaflet headed: "The White Crusaders are here to chase the Niggers out of Pennsylvania." Certain white groups in Pennsylvania are tremendously excited because the legislature passed an equal rights law which goes into effect September 1. The White Crusaders represent only the rabble-rouser, but many "respectable" whites are said to be, bitterly opposed to the law.
Search for Slayer
Proves Futile in N. C.
EDENTON, N. C. (ANP)—Efforts on the part of local police to apprehend Tow Walds, alleged slayer of his former sweetheart, Hester Satterfield, proved futile, here Thursday, despite the fact that the drag-net was thrown out immediately following the killing Wednesday morning.
All of Wald's haunts were searched by the officers and the search extended to Norfolk, Virginia, where Walds is reported to have said he was going some few days before the young woman was choked to death.
It is far better to admit ignorance than to display it.

"Happily this is practically true in the District of Columbia, and much is being done by other agencies in this same direction.
"At the same time, it is our special business to be concerned that neither in these institutions nor in any private institution maintained for Negro youth, any doctrine subversive of our Constitutional form of Government should be taught.
"In the first place, I do not believe that any person engaged in the public profession of teaching has a right to take the public pay while spreading propaganda in favor of any form of government foreign to the one under which we live.
"In my opinlon, common honesty is more important than any pedagogic conception of 'academic freedom.'
"In the second place. I believe it is the duty of the teachers to instruct the youth in the accepted facts and theories of government, of science, of language, of history, and of the arts. It is none of their business to use them as test tubes and to catalogue their reactions to strong experiments, in science or in government.
Scores Blind Leadership
"Because many of the great standard universities have indulged in orgies of 'experimental psychology' and laboratory courses in social and 'political sciences,' is no reason why our own particular institutions of learning should follow blindly in their footsteps.
'We must not be confounded by the fame and high standing of the great universities. In education as in everything else it is our business to adopt and follow the ideas worked out by the experts of the white race, when we believe them to be right; but it is our duty to depart sharply and boldly from them when we believe them to be wong.
'The Negro must not abdicate his right to think for himself and to consider educational and other questions in the light of his own problems and his own experience.
Cites Progress Made
"It is undeniable that the Negro has under our constitutional form of government made a progress unexampled in the history of the world.
"There are those impatient ones who imagine that this progress would be faster under some other form of government; just as there are those concerned with national affairs who chafe at the restraints of the Constitution.
"But the trouble is not with our form of government.
"Without courage, industry and patience, no nation can survive under any form of government. Without courage, industry and patience no group in a nation can obtain justice and respect. Under our Constitution this government has with industry, courage, and patience met every emergency in the past and will do so in the future. Under this Constitution, with industry, courage and patience our place has advanced a long way and will continue to advance until perfect equality has been attained.
"Let us not despair of the Republic."
Knocking folks, like knocking engines, need some kind of adjustment.

One hundred dollars is made

In 1903, he was married {o Miss
Nettie Daly, whore charming per-
sonality was quite an ssset to him

knowiedge of the business that she
could efficiently carry on all opera-
tions in the absence of Mr. Powell.
In their home, the wholeso7ne at-
mosphere of congeriality amd hos-
pitality always prevailed and won
for them a host of friends.

A 90-in-the-shade temperature did its best to make Mrs. Geneva Evans uncomfortable the other day. But it didn't succeed. A cool, crisp green print that she wore ever so well gave Mrs. Evans a poise that defied any mean old torrid moments and kept her looking her usual happy self.
With the Shriners already in town, and with the "Grand" (Mr. J. Finley Wilson), Dr. Charles Fisher and a hundred others turn-maze of bunting and flies and maze of hunting and flags and merry-go-rounds for Elkdom's big convention it is not surprising that so many broad Ha! Ha!'s are emanating from the home of Dr. J. C. Brazier, 1801 First Street. Ever so high in fraternal circles are Doctors Aaron and Sidney Brozier, of Louisiana, (brothers of Washington's Dr. Joseph C.). And—well, they're the "why" of the fun on First Street.
It's easy to see why Miss Clara Carey of Hobart Street, (and all the other members of the Carey family, too.) come back from trips to Philadelphia looking so very happy. When visiting the City of Brotherly Love they stay in the home of a relative, Mrs. Gertrude Bernard. An adorable person is this Mrs. Bernard and now that her two weeks' visit to Washington is over and she's back at her Philadelphia home, I'm claiming kinship with the Careys so I can have an alibi for someday trying to camp on Mrs. Bernard's doorstep.
If old Man "Gloom" ever overtakes you, call on Mrs. Ida Barker of Kingman Park and ask her to chat with you a while. (That is if she isn't already busy cheering up somebody else.) Be sure to get the jolly little body to tell you about her trip by train to Atlantic City and how her son (Beltra) dropped his auto tools, picked up his golf bags, drove to the Jersey town and brought his mother and her party back, and all about the many humorous happenings incident thereto. Then watch your "Blues" turn rosy red.
Being a Lieutenant, Mr. Lawrence Oxley probably gives most of his blessings to punctual people and maybe saves not a single one for mean behind-timers. A big celebration was scheduled for 8 p.m. and Mr. Oxley arrived on the minute. He stood or sat around till 8:45 and still the thing kadn't begun. He looked at his watch again and again and appeared a bit impatient. But he was wearing such a 'snappy corn-colored suit, a pinkish-tinted shirt and harmonizing tie that he just couldn't keep from looking splendid. Then, too, old and new friends stepped up to greet him and the lieutenant finally forgot about his watch. Just the same it's a shame that a 1st of us (not you dear reader, of courses) arrive for our eight o'clock engagements at a quarter after nine.
Dr. Walter Washington bestowing a lot of lingering glances and giving some of his busy minutes to a pretty dark-haired, dark-eyed maiden.
And now the summer bride who has been wondering what to do with the rolling pins that fell on her during the pre-nuptial "showers" need worry her lovely head no longer. Though she bakes not a single biscuit (they'd probably be soggy anyway); though her big strong groom behaves himself so she won't have to use the pin as a weapon; still the little wooden kitchen utensil needn't repose on the shelf. But bridie, dear, can bring it out when she goes in for callisthenics. And as the rolling pin thins out the dough for a art or a cherry pie, so will it arten the muscles of an over-weight arm or wrist.
Mrs. Francina Biddle and all the other lovely "Orchids" who arranged that pretty midnight trip down the river for their friends, last week, probably didn't know the starboard side of the Southport from the lardboard (unless some bold man told 'em). But they were very sure of one thing. And that was, or rather is (Too bad there's such a thing as grammar) that maid in a sailor's suit (or a charming matron either) makes an unforgettable picture. And so when the Southport steamed proudly down the Potomac there wasn't a single frilly-frocked "Orchid." Just a bunch of " sailor-ettes."

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING AUGUST 24. 1935
Jacksonville, Fla., the other day, Mrs. Gordon (accompanied by Mrs. Milton Bush, 152 U Street) was right in the midst of the happy goings-on. And as if that wasn't enough to fill up anybody's summer schedule, along came Attorney and Mrs. C. F. Stradford and their daughter Jewel, of Chicago, and Mrs. Stradford's sister, Mrs. Mary C. Langston of Winston-Salem, to tarry a day or so while en route to New York and other points. And the happiness register in the Gordon household shot way past par again.
Maybe knowing that she was going to sing for the Shriners had something to do with it. Anyway, Mrs. Naomi V. Evans, wife of Dr. Elias Evans, was radiant last week in a yellowish looking swagger suit (brown-trimmed). A brown-banded tsm hat, brown gloves and two-toned shoes completed the interesting ensemble.
Dr. Maceo Patterson an interne at Provident Hospital, Baltimore, in town recently, and the pupils in one of Washington's year-round schools got a big break on account of the nice smiles the teacher had for them (the dunces included) long after the doctor's visit.

If you're thinking of going to St. Louis you'd better wait. At least until after September 2. The National Technical Association will convene in that city on August 30 and the place will be so full of architects, engineers, draftsmans and the like, and the residents will be so busy with blue prints, that they'll hardly have time to show you the sights.
Among those who will attend from Washington will be Mr. J. A. Lankford, second vice president of the association, Mr. Lewis K. Dowing, president of the local branch and Mr. Addison Richmond, secretary.
"Why aren't the days growing longer instead of shorter?" is the wall of Misses Lois and Leila Psyne of Denver, Colorado.

RECIPES FOR THE ELK GUESTS
By GERTRUDE C. FRAZIER
In making party sandwiches, uniced Bond loaf is usually preferred.
When making a large number of party sandwiches, it is easier and quicker to slice the bread the long way of the loaf. First trim the crusts from all four sides of the loaf, then slice lengthwise, spreading the filling on every other slice. The unspread slices are then placed evenly on top of the spread slices, and the sandwiches cut in fancy shapes with cookie cutters. For rolled sandwiches, the bread must be absolutely fresh, so that it is soft and pliable.

RECIPES FOR THE ELK GUESTS
By GERTRUDE C., FRAZIER In making party sandwiches, uniced Bond loaf is usually preferred.
Take the world's finest almonds, roast them to a crisp golden brown, add rich fresh cream and fine sugar . . . and most important, add Breyers skill in blending and freezing. The result . . . a Burnt Almond Ice Cream such as you've never tasted . . . unless you've tasted Breyers.

erator with NO MOVING PARTS, which means permanent silence, long life and freedom from costly repairs. Every range has full-insulation, oven heat control, adjustable broiler, and automatic lighting. Come early!
Sandwich Butter
For party sandwiches it is especially important that the butter be creamed in order that the spreading will not tear the thin slices of bread. Sandwich butters may be worked up into a cream in the proportion of 1cup of butter to $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup of cream. Dainty bread-and-butter sandwiches are always in good taste at parties, but they can be made more interesting by first mixing with the creamed butter one of the following seasonings: mustard, grated or prepared horseradish, chopped parsley, lemon juice, chives, curry paste or powder, or anchovy paste.
Mock Pate de Foies Gras
Cut up and pound to a paste 1 cup of cooked calf's liver. Mix well with 1/4 cup of cooked, minced mushrooms or truffles. Add a little salt and moisten with cream. Use between thin slices of bread, buttered.
Radish Sandwich
Spread bottom slice of Bond Bread with potted or deviled ham. Cover with crisp slices of radish which have been dipped in thick mayonnaise. Top with second slice of bread.
Rolled Sandwiches
Spread lengthwise slices o f bread with a smooth filling, such as cream cheese mixed with pimento. Roll up the long way—very firmly—and seal the edge with butter. Wrap in damp cloth and place in refrigerator for at least an hour. When ready eo serve, slice in the same manner as a jelly roll. The rounds may be toasted and served hot, though this is not necessary.
Salad Sandwich Loaf
Trim crusts from loaf. Cut lengthwise into four slices, spreading with butter before cutting each slice. Put slices together with three different fillings, such as thin-

COUNCIL OF ELKS FACES SUSPENSION
The Past Exalted Rulers' Council, No. 4, of the I.B.P.O. Elks of the World, located in Washington, was cited to show cause why they should not be suspended from the Order of Elks for refusing to accept the application of a past exalted ruler of Morning Star Lodge, the Tribune learned this week.

AGED MAN IS HELD IN SLAYING
54-Year-Old Accused Killer Claims Self-Defense at Inquiry
Ernest Tilman, 54, of 84 G Street, Southwest, was held in connection with the fatal shooting of Webster Weems, 29, of 120 F Street, Southwest after an investigation by Dr. A. Magruder MacDonald, District coroner. The shooting occurred Wednesday morning in Brown Court.
Tilman, taking the stand in his own behalf, said that he was walking along Brown's Court when Lilian Richards, 118 F Street, Southwest, known as "Blind Lil" asked him to play her a piece on his guitar. He compiled with her request when Weems came in and put him out the house for touching "Blind Lil."
The defendant then went back to Miss Richards' house to get his guitar. Weems broke the guitar and threw it to him. Weems then chased him with a butcher knife, Tilman declared.
Claims Self-Defense
In self defense, the alleged slayer fired one shot in the air. He fired a second shot at Weems, but this missed him. The fatal shot was accidental he maintained. The gun, an old-fashioned one, went off when he stumbled and fell in Brown's Court. Witnesses declared that Tilman said to Weems, "Boy don't come upon me" before he shot him. Police authorities who arrested Tilman at his home said that he was drunk. When the coroner asked Tilman why he carried a gun, the defendant said that he carried it with him for no particular reason.
Dr. Christopher-Murphy, deputy who performed the autopsy testified that it was impossible for the wound which caused Weems's death to have been fired when Tilman fell. "Unless Weems had been standing on his head," he said, "the bullet could not have traced a downward course."
Record Jail Sentence

The heaviest sentence for bootlegging since repeal of prohibition was imposed in Police Court Friday when James L. Williams, was sentenced by Judge R Hitt to serve 360 days in jail for illegal sale and to pay a fine of $500 or serve 180 days for keeping liquor for sale. Cecilia M. Smith, who was charged jointly with Williams, was placed on probation for a year. Williams, said to be an old offender, was arrested by Policemen C. R. Bick and C. D. Schamp of the Tenth Precinct after he was alleged to have sold a gallon of liquor to an informer.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING AUGUST 24. 1935
Repeated attempts to organize the workers of the Sam Finklestein Clothing Manufacturing plant at Ingleside, Norfolk County, Va., by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, reached a climax early Wednesday morning with a walkout of 125 persons, according to the estimates of union officials. By Thursday morning, it was claimed that the number had reached 175 with production at the plant crippled. The top photo shows a group of strikers at the plant with some of their sympathizers. The scene at the bottom, right, shows one of the striker's automobile bearing signs such as were used to gain support in the movement, while the bottom left scene was snapped during one of the many parades staged by the strikers at the plant Wednesday. The strike was to be called officially at a meeting Thursday night.

12 NEGRO CITIES IN U.S. HAVE 14,836 POPULATION
Fairmount Heights, Md., Ranks Third in Numbers According to Figures Compiled by Charles Hall, Statistical Expert
By GARLAND MACKEY
The twelve principal incorporated Negro cities and tour principal townships in the United States have a total population of 14,836, according to Charles M. Hall, specialist in data relating to Negro statistics and population.
Of this number, 12,457 are colored and 1,380 are white. Most of the white population in Negro towns is engaged in store-keeping. Mr. Hall, who has been employed in the bureau of statistics for over a quarter of a century, has at his fingertips all data relative to Negroes in business, industry, finance, professions and agriculture in the United States.
Work Considered Authentic
For some years the Tuskegee Year Book, dited by Monroe Work, was taken as a guide by most persons seeking information about Negroes in this country. Mr. Hall has found several discrepancies in the Tuskegee records and as a result he is compiling figures on the American Negro that are backed by actual count. Since he has a more elaborate personnel and the facilities of the government, his work is now considered more authentic.
He has found many discrepancies as to population of Negro towns in the Tuskegee book. His figures are based on actual count and not on guess work.
For some time Mr. Hall's office has been located in the old Civil Service Building in the 1700 block of F Street. This week his office is being moved to the Department of Commerce Building, Constitution Avenue and Fourteenth Street. Mrs. Frances T. Thomas, well-known Washington woman and former clerk for the Lichtman Theatres, will be his chief aid at his new location.
The figures on Negro population were taken during the time of year when Highland Beach, Md., a summer colony, was closed for the winter. So this all Negro town was not included in his table.
The twelve principal incorporated towns have a Negro population of 8,870 and 305 whites. The four townships have a Negro population of 4,587 and 1,075 whites
Fairmount Heights Is Third Brooklyn, Ill., with a Negro population of 1,997, is the largest Negro
incorporated town. Sixty-six whites live there. Lawnside, N.J., is second with 1,224 Negroes and 155 whites, while Fairmount Heights, Md., is third with 1,211 Negroes and 7 whites.
North Brentwood, Md., ranks eight with a Negro population of 639 and 2 whites.
Among the townships, Darby, Pa., ranks first in population with 2,047 Negroes and 726 whites. Stites, Ill., is second with 2,156 colored and 272 whites.

D. C. CHIEF WELCOMES SHRINERS
Hazen Urges Group to Appeal for More Aid for the District
With a public reception Monday at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, Shriners from all over the country formally began their thirty-fifth annual session. They are holding their convention in conjunction with the Imperial Court of the Daughters of Isis and Knights Templar. Louis W. Roy, grand master of Acacia Grand Lodge, was the first to welcome the visitors. In his address he said that "the Shriners come at a time when Washington is a beehive of activity, building a new social order on the rocks of justice." He stressed the fact that the organization recognizes no color line—only God and man
Hazen Is Speaker
Melvin C. Hazen, president of the board of commissioners, welcomed the Masons and Shriners on behalf of the District of Columbia. He sketched for the visitors the workings of the District government and the history of the city. Mr. Hazen asked them to go back to their respective states and appeal to their Congressmen to give more to the support of the District. Although it costs forty million dollars annually to run Washington Congress contributes only five million, or about one-eighth of this amount, declared the commissioner. The Federal Government, however, owns forty per cent of the property of this, a Federal territory. The amount contributed is not enough to allow for the most in developing this city, he said.
Praises Congress
"Congress has been true to its pledge to divide equally for the education of colored and white youths in Washington," said Dr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, in a welcome address on behalf of educational authorities of the District. Continuing, he showed the trend of the Federal Government toward more aid for students of both races
