WAR BETWEEN RACES SEEN BY ROGERS
War Between Dark and White Races Seen by Rogers, Globe Trotter
Regardless of Outcome of Present Conflict Whites Will Suffer, Says Writer
AUTHOR WAS GUEST OF HAILE SELASSIE
White Injustice to Bring War; Hate Has Produced Fear and Contempt
By GARLAND MACKEY
A war between the dark and white races of the world as a result of the present conflict between Ethiopia and Italy, is predicted by J. A. Rogers nationally known author, lecturer and world traveler, who is in Washington this week speaking before several audiences at various churches.
Mr. Rogers spent several years in Europe and in Africa. While in Ethiopia, he dined with Emperor Haile Selassie. He will speak Sunday at Mount Carmel Baptist Church of which the Rev. William H. Jernigan is pastor. Mr. Rogers is author of "From Superman to Man." "As Nature Leads," "This Mongrel Word," and "World's Greatest Men of African Descent."
While in Africa he visited the French, Italian and British colonial possessions. He is considered one of the greatest authorities on Negro history. While in the city he spoke at Miner Teachers' College, the high schools, and addressed gatherings at several churches.
Mr. Rogers visited the Tribune office Tuesday, and expressed the opinion that, regardless of the outcome of the Ethiopian-Italian conflict, the white race will suffer. This will be especially true of Great Britain, he said.
Hate Rules Nations
He believes that the chief danger to the white man arises from his arrogant contentment for other races, a contempt which in America is mixed with fear and hate.

MRS. TAYLOR MAY SUE FOR JOB
Teacher Who Resigned Under Economy Act May Take Legal Action
The case of Mrs. E. Y. Taylor, which is now pending before the District school board, will, in all probability go to the District Supreme Court for settlement, it was indicated last Tuesday, when her attorney, W. L. Houston, argued before the board's personnel committee that Mrs. Taylor should be reinstated as a clerk in the public school system
Mrs. Taylor, a former clerk in the District public schools, resigned her job to save that of her husband, who is a mail carrier, under Section 213 of the Multiple Employment Act, now famously known as the Economy Act.
Did Not Affect Teachers
The school board had announced that all married persons employed in the school system would have to resign from their positions unless their husbands resigned from the jobs they were holding, provided it was a government job. Later, it was ruled by Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman that the act did not apply to District Government employees, but only to employees of the Federal Government.
When the ruling was made, Mrs. Taylor applied for reinstatement. (See MRS. TAYLOR, Page 3)
Mitchell Reiterates on "Viciousness of NAACP"
Mitchell Reiterates on "Viciousness of NAACP"
CHICAGO, (ANP) — Arthur W. Mitchell of Illinois, congressman, left Chicago Friday for a conference in Washington before sailing to the Virgin Islands on or about October 10.
Before but before departed, the rugged successor to Oscar DePriest had his say on communism at Howard University, the N.A.A.C.P. and opponents of his bill for an industrial commission on Negro affairs.
Representative Mitchell was especially forceful as he reiterated his statements on the "viciousness" of the N.A.A.C.P., originally delivered on a speech made in Norfolk, Va., late in August.

Fairfax Voters Oppose Uniair School Allotment
FALLS CHURCH, Va.—Opposition to the proposed Fairfax County school building program will be considered at a special bond issue election November 5, has been voiced by the County Colored Citizens" Association which charges that although they make up 19 per cent of the population of the county, they will be allocated but 2.4 per cent of the total amount to be spent. Of the aggregate amount of $187,027.50 sought through the bond issue, the association points to the fact that only $9,300 is scheduled to be spent on colored schools—$6,000 for a new plant at Gum Springs and $3,300 for a new building at Seminary.
The association stresses that in the whole amount to be spent, it requested but $27,900 be allocated for colored schools which would have included the necessary repairs at 8 of the 16 schools in the county.

Howard Graduate
Son of Emperor
Dr. Malaku Bayen Says He is
But Many Believe He
of Red C
The question of whether or not
Dr. Malaku Bayen is the son of
Emperor Haile Selassie, of Ethiopia, again came to the fore this week as announcement reached this country, of the appointment of the Howard University graduate as director of one of the Red Cross units of Ethiopia.
Dr. Bayen was sent to this country to study medicine at Howard University by royal command. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the university said, and was graduated from the Howard Medical School last June.
Says He Is Nephew
The Ethiopian, in registering at the university ignored the blank space which students are requested to fill in, giving the name of their parent or guardian, Registrar Frederick D. Wilkinson said. He gave his address as the Imperial Palace at Addis Ababa.
When it was discovered here that Bayen was related to the Emperor, he advised his friends and university officials that he was the nephew of Emperor Selassie. When it was reported in New York papers that the Emperor had a "son" registered at Howar', a basty check was made of the students at the university, and a further check was made at the State Department. The university said that Bayen was the only

D. C. MEDIC'S SECOND WIFE SUES HIM
Hugh M. Gray Accused by Mate He Took After First Divorce
Less than a year out of the divorce courts as a result of a marital rift with his first wife, Mrs. Pearl Gray, Dr. Hugh M. Gray, prominent local physician, was again hauled into the toils of the District Supreme Court, late this week.
His second wife, Mrs. Marietta C. Gray, whom he married within the short space of a week after divorcing his first mate, entered suit for divorce, a mensa et thoro, late yesterday (Wednesday)
Mrs. Gray, in her bill of complaint, accused the doctor of cruelty and desertion. Aside from being unreasonable, she declares, the physician, without regard for the efforts she made to succeed with their matrimonial venture, deserted their home on September 2 and has not returned. Complaining that her husband, whom she married in Arlington, Va., inst. December, not only refused to provide a home for her
to learn to prepare for or to them eat, but went so far as to scorn the food that she had bought with her own money, prepared and placed on the table for him to eat. Mrs. Gray states in her petition that on several occasions the doctor tossed the food she had made ready back at her and demanded that she buy more and better food for him out of her money. This attitude was taken by him. Mrs. Gray declares, desuite the fact that he was a practicing physician with an average monthly income of $400. The wife states that she earns approximately $120 per month as an employee in the government department. She gave as her address 2617 Georgia Avenue, and her husband's address as 811 Twenty-first Street, Northwest.
Gray was married to his second wife shortly after disposition of an embebzlement case against his first mate. The latter was also married shortly after dissolution, he taking a husband in California.
student there from Ethiopia. This statement was verified by the State Department.
Report Not Verified
The State Department further said that there were only three students in this country from Ethiopia. One was registered at Cornell University, another at Columbia University, and Bayen at Howard. The department admitted reports that Bayen was the nephew of Emperor Selassie, but said they had not been able to verify the relationship.
That statement from the United States Department of State gave further rise to the rumor that Bayen possibly was the son of the Emperor but registered incognito at the university.
Further support was given to the rumor when Emperor Selassie recalled Bayen last spring before the commencement exercises, and before he completed his last year at the university. He was awarded his degree however, by the university.
Married D. C. Girl
While in this country, Dr. Bayen married Miss Dorothy Hadley, who at that time was secretary to V. D. Johnston, treasurer of the university. They have one child.
Dr. Bayen lived at 1260 Columbia Road Northwest, while here, and was very modest about his relationship with the Emperor.

Made "Colonel"
Negro Puzzled When He Receives Commission as "Kentucky Colonel"
KANSAS CITY Mo. (ANP)—John S. Cannon, local real estate broker, rubbed his eyes hard Wednesday morning after going over one item in the morning mail. Without any effort on his part and without any knowledge of his possible sponsors, Cannon had received through the mail a commission as a "Kentucky colonel," the honorary military aristocracy of Kentucky, signed bp Gov. Ruby Laffoon. Mr. Cannon is frankly puzzled. Laffoon is a Democrat and Cannon a Republican. Furthermore, it has not been the practice in the past to appoint Negroes to this honorary military order, although many Negroes imitative of the whites, have assumed the title as a humorous commentary on this quaint custom of the white folk
Haile Selassie Protests Slaughter of Women By Italian Airplanes
Ethiopian Ruler Does Not Believe Duce's People Support His Campaign
CHILDREN ARE AMONG THOSE KILLED IN RAIDS
Ruler of Black Kingdom Is Gratified at Messages From America
ADDIS ABABA—Emperor Haile Selassie Monday delivered an outspoken indictment of the war methods of Mussolini and bitterly assailed them for what he called their measures for "civilizing" the African empire.
"Mr. Mussolini," said the sadeyed King of Kings, "charges us with being barbarians and says he wishes to civilize us. Is the wanton slaughter of women and children by air bombs and machine guns the kind of civilization he wishes to give us? "I cannot think the great Italian people, celebrated through the centuries for their arts, humanities, letters and culture, have so little chivalry left toward womankind, I cannot believe that all of Mussolini's people support him in such a campaign.
"We expected that when the Italians began their campaign they would confine their operations to our soldiers. What does the world think of aviators who, when they see helpless women and children fleeing for their lives and the horror of air bombs, deliberately shower them with machine-gun bullets from the air? Have galantry and manliness fled from the world?"
Invasion Unjustified
"Besides, what have we done to provoke these cruel attacks on land and in the air?" The Italians say we massacred innocent shepherds. it is untrue. The blood is on their hands, not ours. Our conscience is clean. The position of Ethiopia is clear and we have committed no act to justify this invasion." The sovereign said he was especially amazed that Museoini (See SELFASSE, Page 3).

HU ALLOTTED $525,000 FOR TWO DORMS
Expose of Conditions By the Tribune Brings Needed Buildings
By FREDERICK S. WEAVER
Public Works Administrator Harold L. Ikes, this week, announced the allotment of $25,000 to Howard University for the erection of dormitories to be used for male students. The work is to begin immediately.
The allotment was made following the exposure by the Tribune of housing conditions for Howard's male students. For the past four weeks the Tribune has carried articles agitating for new dormitories at Howard for the men. Copies of these articles were sent to the Public Works Administrator.
Cares for 175
At the present time there are dormitory accommodations at How- ard University for only 175 out of 900 male students in attendance at the university in all schools. These 175 are housed in Clark Hall, erected in 1870, and Miner Hall, erected about the same time. Clark Hall accommodates 123 and Miner Hall 83. Both of these buildings are great fire hazards, and have been repeatedly condemned. Miner Hall (See DORM, Page 3)
"FEARS LIFE," SAYS WIFE IN SUIT
U Street Theatre Employee
Says Husband Beat Her;
Threatened Her Life
Excessive cruelty growing out of
an insane jealousy was the basis
for a suit for divorce filed by Mrs.
Christine Childress, local theatre
employee, against her husband,
Arthur Childress, late last week.
The petition was filed by Attorneys Howard, Hayes and Cobb. It gave Mrs. Childress's address as 2719 Georgia Avenue, and her husband's as 1831 Fourteenth Street, Northwest.
According to the complaint, the couple have had very little happiness from the time of their marriage little more than two years ago. A vicious, violent temper, Mrs. Childress charged to her husband, was given as the principal reason for this unhappiness. The wife avers that on several occasions within a short time after their wedding, the defendant set upon her and beat her.
Every Move a Jealous One
His every move, Mrs. Childress declares, was actuated by insane and uncontrollable pealousy. She states that on innumerable occasions she was the victim of groundless accusations, and that her life was made miserable by the state of affairs. Childress, last July, beat her and threatened her life in one of his frequent fits of rage, Mrs. Childress asserts. She was compelled to leave her home and seek refuge with her sister.
Promised to Behave
This separation, she further states, was terminated when he continued to importure her to return, promising that he would do better. She became reconciled and went back, Mrs Childssess says, only to be again driven out in September when he again threatened her life and struck her with a vanity stool.
This time, the wife avers, she went to the home of her parents in Atlanta, Ga. While there she received a long distance call from Childssess in which he again threatened her life.
Mrs. Childssess declares her husband operates an illicit business. She states that she is employed as a ticket-seller at a U Street theatre.

All the big problems of the world are inwardly spiritual. That is why you cannot enforce peace by building more and more armed ships. Neither can the pacifist, however high-minded his aims, enforce peace by strikes and sabotage. Because the causes of war are inner things—greed, selfishness, a narrow, shortsighted vision. The spiritual, world vision of Jesus is the only thing that will really work for world brotherhood. The purpose of this program is to show, by tracing the widening influence of Jesus, that the highest deals of our civilization are his, and to suggest that the further spread of his ideals depends upon the teaching and lives of Christians.

RICHMOND. Va.—The University of Virginia, whose board of visitors recently rejected the application of Miss Alice C. Jackson of this city for admission to its graduate school, was asked by Miss Jackson last week to furnish her all the reasons for the rejection. At the time her application was turned down, the board of visitors issued a statement saying that the action was taken because it was contrary to the custom of the state of Virginia to educate colored and white persons in the same schools, and "for other good and sufficient reasons not necessary to be herein enumerated." Miss Jackson is requesting that the other "good and sufficient reasons" for the rejection be itemized.
Baltimore County Group Asks for High Schools
BALTIMORE—In a second assault upon unqualified school facilities in Maryland, colored citizens of Baltimore County are carrying forward a campaign to secure high school facilities for the hundreds of colored children in the county who are now forced to go to the city of Baltimore for high school work.
Baltimore County has five white high schools but not a single Negro high school. The first fight for equality in school facilities was the Murray case, in which a court action finally forced the University of Maryland Law School to admit a colored student. The case is now on appeal and not be heard by the higher court before November. In the meantime, Murray was permitted to register in the law school September 25 and is reported to be enjoying cordial relations with his instructors and fellow students.

While Italy and Ethiopia are having a bitter dispute across the waters, three high schools under the loyal direction of Captain Arthur C. Newman, professor of military science and tactics, is preparing for the cadet drill next June. A large enrollment is expected and many of the rookies have appeared in their uniforms already. William H. Bullock, of Dunbar, is the highest ranking officer in the Ninth Brigade. Heretofore, each high school has held this prestige At Armstrong, Major Edward York, is the assistant professor of military science and tactics, while Major Harry Alwood and Captain Marshbanks hold the same positions at Dunbar and Cardozo, respectively. Some of the girls are busy preparing their colors and armbands, even though the events do not occur until next year. My! My!
The Bits of Harmony Revue, is still offering opportunities to amateur actors and chorus girls.

Here’s the reason why it’s not there yet, because photos are usually exact reproductions of folks as they are, why should I shatter some fainn maiden’s illusions with a mug “a-la-Frenkenstein” when she thinks it is “a-la-Gable?” . . . Secondly, with regard to my “Girl Friday,” allow me to say that the only one I now possess are—Miss Fountain and Madame Tynewiter. . . So nuts to you, guy!
Club will hold a fall social at the Variety Town and Country Club 1337 R Street, Northwest, on Friday, October 11. All of the younger set promises to swim gayly that night. Nuf sed! . . Connie Gordon, of Brentwood, needs sausage once in a while or those whiskers will tickle a certain young cool's face. . We wonder why Loratrice S., of Brentwood, is trying to be a fast swimmer and floats like a whale in the water? ' ' ' Ethel Lyles has stared a come-back with Leonard Gordon, of Tech, since the young man has tightened up on his vocal chords and took several first prizes on the various amateur programs. . Notice that James Parker, local 'Man about-town', frequents the Capital City Social Club here of late. Wonder who's on his wind now?
Notice that John Kendall has been put out in the cold again since Ethel Middleton gave him the sit for Henry Brown. Wonder what the "Timid Soul" will do now? . . . Talking about Gmen, reminds one of the case in Rovers Street, last week-end. It seems as though Charlotte C played the title role when Doris B had her arms around Lanier Campbell and Charlotte walked out on them. Nuf sed! . . . Norman Hawkins has out hanging around Sixth Street since Robert Fantroy is . . . one side-kick with Rose More. Wonder where is Peaches Sma lwood. Bob? . . . It seems as though Charlie Miles is sporting them up big at Mike's down west since Cora is away. Better stop blowing your ton on the digits will drop. James Clay, diminutive gentleman of the north is a frequent visitor at the grill. I notice. . . Until next week. Goo Bil.
It's true that the girls of the Capita' City Social Club are very much interested in the Ethiopian band better known as the "Four Dots." No wonder Droothy Hammond, Burnell Murray, Thelma Robinson and Mattie Lee Archer are craving their love for the young men. Nuf sed!...Notice that Tow is a regular visitor to the grill since he quit the bread-line... Irene Simenton, of D Street was very much dissappointed when Oscar Long failed to put in his appearance at the Black and Gold Grill. Sunday...Bentina Cole was seen with her ole flame at Sixth and K the other day...Audrey Hampton of Tech has her eyes focused on Clifton better known among his pals as "Sack"...Ethel Whaley of Tech finds time to jibe a certain young lieutenant of Dunbar. An armband fever victim already. Ethel?
Don't forget the Scribes Barn Dance, given by the young columnists, at the Masonic tomorrow night (Friday). Come on out and boost the boys in their future swingers. Such personalities as Norman Hawkins, John Jones, and Winston Steward, associate editors of this column, Daniel Parker and Joseph Beal, Jr., editors of "Local Dancer," and Julius Newman, former editor of "Winchell in Cardozo," now editor of Voice of Alexandria." will be presend. Nuf sed!

J. W.—Which of the two schools that I have in mind will I make the best grades?
Ans.: The school you will go to will have nothing to do with the kind of grades you'll make. Your study and interest in your work is what will give you passing grades. It is my impression that playing the bass violin in the high school orchestra will help make your school days pleasant.
S. B.—How did my husband find out I have been cheating on him?
Ans.: Your husband has been doing a little detective work. He saw you with another man and trailed you the night you went to the beer garden with your gentleman friend.
D. T.—Will you tell me where I will be living three years from now? Will I be happy?
Ans: It is my impression that three years from now, you'll still be living in the same city you're living now. However, you'll be happier than you ever have been, for you'll be married to the boy you are in love with.
M. D. R.—I would like for you to tell me through your column what my husband does with his money? I believe he is spending it on another woman.
Ans: You are misjudging your husband. At the present he doesn't have any money to spend, for he isn't even working. He didn't tell you he lost his job because he knew you'd worry a lot over it.
R. D.—Where is my loved one and is he married?
Ans: Yes—he is married, and he is staying with his wife now. Consider your affair with him as a mistake, and don't feel that you are disgraced. What you should do is get away from your present associates and make a new start in life.
E. S.—How long will I keep working at this place?
Ans: Not very long. I am happy to predict that you'll get to make a change during the month of October, and your new job will be the one you are seeking now.
J. H. F.—Does my girl friend think more of the other fellow than she does me? What makes her act the way she does?
Ans.: Your girl friend likes you much better than she does the other fellow, and she spends more time with you than she does him. She would be delighted to go out with you more but her mother won't let her.
T. P.—Will you please tell me through your column if the man I am so deeply interested in is in love with me?
Ans.: The doctor you think you are in love with doesn't love you, but he does admire your capability as being a nurse—you'll never be serious about one another, but in the coming years he will be the kind of friend to you that you have, always desired.
L. F. D.—Please tell me if you think that my husband and myself will live together again? I have always cared for him.
Ans.: Yes, and the communication that you received from his sister was true facts; he wants you to return to his home. For the past few months he has been very ill and at this writing he is still unable to be up, but he will welcome you back to his household.
E. J. T.—What do you see for me this year in connection with school?
Ans: You won't have the slightest difficulty in passing your senior year in high school. This will prove the most interesting year of all your school terms. In the fall
in the schools and colleges of the Atlanta University system, President John Hope announced Saturday at the close of the first week of the new college year. This total is considerably in excess of last year when at the corresponding 884 had been enrolled.

M. M. G.—Should I marry this man that I have been going with for so long?
Ans.: It would be a good idea for you to marry this man that you have been living with for nine years. If you two care enough to want to live together you should enter matrimony, and I must add that you will get along much better and enjoy life more.
G. A. J.—Will the Jews win this case or will we win?
Ans.: I cannot contact your church going into the hands of the Jews who are trying to secure it. Keep up the fight that you have been experiencing for the past year for it seems that it will be settled in the very near future.
R. C.—Will I ever get a job that will pay me enough to do what I want to do so badly?
Ans: Yes—and you will find the job right there in your home town. It seems to me that your little baby will be well taken care of this winter and you will be able to save some money too.
M. J. S.—Do any of my present day boy friends love me?
Ans: It seems that J. B. A. the taxi driver loves you just as much as he says. He doesn't appear to be the type that just plays around with women like the other boys you have been going with.
N. B.—I would like for you to advise me what to do about my daughter?
Ans.: I advise you to let your daughter decide for herself what she wants to do. It is my impression that she'll find it won't do any good to sit around and wait for a position. She'll reutrn to her same position and working conditions will be more favorable for her than they were during the previous year.
G. M. D.—How long will it be before I will get to do what I want to? Will I have to go on forever like I am now?
Ans.: You are a married woman now and you shouldn't let your arents dictate to you the way this have for you have no right to be with you from your husband just because they don't like him. Ask your things and go to him now. You should learn to stand up for your own rights.
J. W.—Please advise me what to do about my wife?
Ans.: Since you know the break between you and your wife is final, the thing for you to do is to go your way and let her as she pleases. You needn't worry about having to take care of your three children. They seem to be well satisfied with their mother.
F. Y.—Should I answer either of the two letters I have in mind?
Ans.: No. It is my opinion that to answer either of them would only be a waste of time. You will not profit from them.
T. R. R.—Will my father find a house all right as soon as he wants one?
Ans: All of the desirabe homes in your city seems to be occupied, however, your father will find ones before October ends but it will be in an adjoining city.
C. G.—Will I get well any time soon?
Ans: It is my impression that it will be quite a while before you'll be well again. You'll have an operation and will remain in the hospital several weeks before you'll see any improvement in your condition.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
An Open Letter to My Cronies . .
I believe I've changed my mind about something. I'm not so sure that I haven't made a mistake, although what I'm doing now may be looked upon by you as one of the biggest mistakes I've made since I've been in the business of "Looking 'em Over."
I think I said something without having put much thought to it. And I now think I want to take it back. Yes, I know I want to take it back.
The American and National Leagues should NOT have Negro baseball players. Major league magnates should NOT try adding a little COLOR—other than red—to their game.
I guess I'm kinda "wishy-washy" on this subject, and all that, but I don't know but what we shouldn't "look before we leap."
We all are elated whenever we have a chance to point to the great John McGraw, now deceased, as one of the strongest endorsers the black ball player ever had. And we are happy to include Cornelius McGillicuddy (Connie Mack) among those who have expressed a feeling that there are—or were—Negro athletes capable of making the "big time"—though the famous Philadelphia strategian has not been actually guilty of recommending the inclusion of colored men in the organized game.
There are some of us who look to Dizzy Dean, pitching ace of the St. Louis Cardinals, as another who gives Negro ball players and teams their just due.
All this is true. And it is also true that the National Negro Baseball Association boasts some men who could step into the "big time" tomorrow and give a good account of themselves. Among these are probably Oscar Charleston, Lefty Tianti, Jud Wilson, Cool Papa Bell, Martin Dihigo and some others.
These endorsements and these facts are good strong arguments for use of the affirmative, boys. (I'm sure we all agree that the small-thinking, stink-loving minority who would advance any contention which uses the Alabama Pitts case as its basis should be disregarded.)
Well, fellows, as I said before, these arguments are good for use by the affirmative. But make no mistake about it, there's also a negative side—and one that doesn't have to be argued by the other group.
Do you remember a guy by the name of Ty Cobb? Yeah, that's the same one, the guy who is considered one of the greatest of all-time diamond greats. You remember him, don't you? And you remember how he used to loathe the sight of a Negro. Even the Negro fan, whose hard-earned money was going toward paying him his salary was a despicable character to Cobb.
Well Cobb had a lot more in the big leagues just like him.
The only difference was that the former Detroit outfielder who later became manager of the team, didn't have to worry about concealing his feelings. He was a star, and being such a star as he was, he could all but write his own check. You know the old saying "the king can do no wrong."
Well, as I said before, fellows, Cobb had a lot more in the game just like him. And there are still a lot in the league like him. There are no "Georgia Peaches" hanging around now (you remember that's what they used to call Cobb). But there are a plenty of "Mississippi Persimmon's." and "Louisiana Lemons," etc.
Imagine one of those birds coming sliding spikes first. ala Cobb, into a colored ball player, covering second base at the Yankee Stadium in the heart of Harlem. And imagine his chagrin when he—born and raised on a Dixie plantation—finds the "darky" awaiting his slide unflinchingly and grinning at him as he lays the ball on his shin. Well, there'd be plenty of fun in Harlem that night.
And listen boys, there's no telling what's going to happen when the Nordic next to you or me let's loose with that fighting word at the colored outfielder who lets a fly-ball get lost in the sun at a crucial moment. Don't let's kid ourselves. We know darned well we're going to feel like saying the same thing the guy next to us has just said—and maybe worse—but, aw well, HE hadn't better say it, that's all. Get what I mean?
You know how Buddy Myer, the scrappy little Washington second baseman, has often sailed into guys with fists flying and right out on the diamond. And you know how Al Simmons don't give a damn who you are nor what you look like, he'll try you once.
And then you probably read the daily paper accounts of the trouble that was had in the recent world series. They fight among themselves so what is to be expected of them when and if they should have black ball players—some of whom would doubtless be their superiors—forced on them? It would be inevitable that far more serious trouble would result from what is now a more direct
We can point until our fingers drop off, boys, at Joe Louis as an instrument for bridging the gap between the groups, but we won't change the complexion of the thing any. Louis Is NOT to be looked upon as a minister or missionary preaching the Gospel of racial good-will and tolerance to the other side. Louis is being nurtured and caressed because he is the "fat in the fire" of a long dead boxing game. He is the answer to a fight promoter's dream—a white promoter.
We can talk all we want, fellows, about a so-called better understanding between the races, but there's no missing the knowing glances cast in your direction by whites who have just read the daily paper headlines which say "10,0000 Ethiopians, 300 Italians Killed at . . ."
Well, I must close, now. I could go on and on, listing reasons why I think I was wrong in an article a few weeks back, but who likes to take so long to take anything back, anyway?

A. HARRIS MEETS WILLIAMS FOR GOLF TITLE.
Amateur Championship to Be Decided in 26-Hole Match, Sunday
The Semi-finals of the District Amateur Golf Championship were played at the Lincoln Memorial Park last Sunday in a cold, drizzling rain. Splashing through soaked fairways and shivering between shots, the contestants bravely fought it out and in many instances the brand of golf displayed was remarkable considering the weather.
Play Close Throughout
In the Championship Flight, Jimmy Williams, a former champion, subdued Richard Harris in a closely contested match by the score of 3 and 2. The hardest fought match of the day, though, was between Dr. Adams and Dr. Harris. Both seemed oblivious to the weather as the match seesawed back and forth, and at no time did either hold more than a one-hole advantage. Coming to the eighteenth all even, Dr. Adams missed his second shot. That, doomed him to defeat as Dr. Harris played safely to clinch the match by the narrow margin of 1 up. This brings together in this Sunday's finals, Jimmy Williams and Dr. Harris, over the 36 hole route.
James Williams d Richar; Harris 3 and 2; Dr. Albert R. Harris d. Dr. George W. Adams 1 up.
First Flight
Herbert Bethea d. William Davi 4 and 3; Anthony Proctor d. George Thomas 2 and 1.
SCOUT TRAINING COURSE PLANNED
Eugene Mitchell of Ohio Will Head Sixth Division Class

Eugene Mitchell, Scouter from Ohio, will head the class organization. Scoutmaster J. R. Dickinson, Troop 508 and Scoutmaster William H. Smith, Jr., Troop 530, will assist Mr. Mitchell.
Dempsey Likes Louis; Says He'll Stop Braddock
BUFFALO, N. Y.—Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion of the word and one of the most colorful figures in the boxing game, is credited with a statement which picks Joe Louis, the Detroit sensation and recent conqueror of Maxie Baer, the next world champion.
"Louis is one of the greatest fighters I have ever seen."
"I don't know of a fighter today who could whip him," the former Manassas Mauler continued. "Braddock? Jim would last only one round against Joe or until the Negro put over his first good punch. Mind you, I'm not running Braddock down, but Joe hits entirely too hard for the champion."
High Scoring
TYLER, Texas (ANP) — Those wild Texas College Steers began the 1955 season as if they meant to retain their 1954 high-score record of 102-0 against Mary Allen. Against Arkansas State Lions, Texas romped 65-0 here recently.

D.C. GRID LEAGUE TO OPEN SUNDAY
Last Sunday's Postpone ment Due to Lack of Places to Play Games
The District Sandlot and Semi-pro football league, which was slated to open its 1935 campaign last Sunday, was forced to cancel all its games because of the lack of grounds. None of the municipal fields had been placed in order in time for Sunday's opening.
Hank Jones, president of the organization, told the Tribune yesterday (Wednesday) that the group will swing into action Sunday. Two games have been carded for Green Valley Park, Va., and one at Baggett's Field, Alexandria. The Anacostia Teddy Bear game has been assigned to no definite ground as yet. Either the Twenty-sixth and Bennings, Northeast gridiron or the Anacostia Park will be used, depending on which of the two is available.

If there's anything that can be said for little Eddie Johnson, the latest sepian addition to the riding colony at Laurel, it is that he certainly picks his spot whenever he has a sterling ride up his sleeve. That is, of course, if the effort he put forth on Dunair, in Saturday's final race is a fairly good sample of the way he behaves. He picked a day when there were upward of 16,000 fans in the stands.
The 23-year-old former exercise boy for the C. V. (Senny) Whitney, white, string of thoroughbred, now riding free-lance and in apprenticeship, rated his mount off the terrific pace set by the Getz Stable's Scotty Don and E. K. Bryson's Kurdair, refused to move even when the highly-favored Trietel moved into the van at the three-eighths pole, and came on to cop a driving verdict from the Bryson bangtail, which was again up and coming at the end. Johnson finished sans cap but was not altogether without applause when he returned his mount to the winner's circle.
Dunair's backers were rewarded with a $14.30 mutuel, the horse having closed at 6 to 1.
The withdrawal of Foreer Yours, Mrs. Ethel V. Mer's Milky Way Farms juvenile, from the Matron Stakes at Belmont last Saturday, made it appeared that the sensational filly will be a certain starter in Laurel's Selima Stake event on October 19. Attention is directed to this fact primarily because Washingtonians are looking upon Foreer Yours as the one to take up where the locally popular Nellie Flag left off last season.
The limited fields which have been a source of worry to Laurel officials during the past two years—last fall in particular—seem to be things of the past as the meeting gets older. Heretofore there has been a maximum of competition in New England during the Laurel session, but with competition and nurses better in the "Maryland Saratoga," horsesmen, large and small, are sending their charges there.
As a result, few of the events of the first week of racing at Laurel had less than six or eight entries. It stands to reason that the larger the field, the better the betting and the better the betting, the larger the pay-offs, Savvy?
A repetition of last Saturday's stellar card at Laurel, on which two stake events were included, is promised for this coming market-day. Two 85,000, added, features have been carded for the program. They are the Maryland Futurity, for two-year-olds, and the Laurel Stakes, an all-ages affair.

BEARS, PANTHERS GIRD FOR BATTLE
Morgan and Union Elevens Promise Action in Saturday Grid Clash
RICHMOND, Va. — Two old rivals for C.I.A.A. honors. Morgan College of Baltimore and Union, will meet here at Hovey Field on Saturday. The Bears, C.I.A.A. defending champion, defeated the strong A. and T. eleven 19-7 last Friday. The next day, Union and Lincoln fought to a scoreless tie. Last year, the Panthers held the Bears to a 0-0 tie at Baltimore. The Bears, with most of the '34 team back, will depend upon their deceptive attack featured by spinners and reverses, and the running, passing and punting of Otis Troupe, All C.I.A.A. quarterback last year. This game is the first important game on either school's schedule and will attract attention far and wide because of its bearing on this year's grid campaign.

as a pilot of the first-water and a threat at anytime that he leads a horse postward. In less than a week after he had graduated from apprentice ranks, the 17-year-old Washington colored boy was boasting his first winners as a full-fledged jockey.
The second of these two victorious mounts was the good two year-old, Stage Whisper, owned by Admiral Cary T. Grausson and trained by the veteran Negro handler, Matt Smart.
Raid was also fortunate enough to gain a saddle in the Richard Johnson Stakes, the secondary feature of Saturday's card at Laurel His horse. Baltimore Boy, was not equal to the task, however, and failed to get into the money picture.
Coming back on Monday, the youngster copped a "double" trimming a good field in the fourth race on Sablin and repeating a board Stake Whisper in the fifth.
Raymond M. Smart, son of Matt Smart and agent for Jockey Reid told the Tribune Saturday that his star rider would not idle this winter as he did last. Reid stayed in Washington, exercising for the Grayson and Breckenridge Long strings at the close of last fall's Bowie session. This year will find the diminutive sonian backing his tack to California where he will ride under the colors of James A. Mahan, white.

Seasiders, Fresh from Durham Win. Point to Traditional Trojan Battle
By R. C. Crutchfield, Jr.
HAMPTON, Va.—Clicking with a rhythm and co-ordination that has not been displayed by them in many years, a victorious band of bloodthirsty Hampton Pirates returned to their home port after defeating a swift moving flock of North Carolina State Eagles 31-0. The Pirates have been spending the week preparing to meet the Virginia State Trojans on Armstrong Field, Saturday. Coach Jefferson's Trojans, after losing a hard fought game to the Big Blue Devils of West Virginia, have been anxiously waiting to invade the Pirate camp. The Pirates and Trojans have been keen, friendly, rivals for twenty years.
The history of gridiron competition between these two colleges has been a nip and tuck affair. The number of games won up to this time is eight apiece; three of the contests having ended in deadlocks. While the State Troians will be struggling to break the tie and take the lead, the Pirates will be out to avenge the 1934 defeat in which the Trojans ran away with a 24-13 victory in the last minutes of the fourth period.
Saints Hopeful
RALEIGH, N.C. — Although handicapped by the loss of eight veteran first-string men, Coach George H. Mitchell, of St. Augustine's College, is hoping to develop a formidable team.
Eligibility Ruling Bars Three Linemen and Trio of Backs
Ontimistic hopes for a victorious football season at Howard University were ioited somewhat. Friday, on the eve of the doubleheader with Miner and Cheyney Teachers' Colleges, when six regulars of the Rison eleven were declared ineligible.
The declaration virtually wrecked the startline line-up of Coach West, forcing the head mentor to revamp his entire squad for the two games. Players involved in the ruline were Paul Perkins, punting age, Bob Anderson, first string quarterback, Gigelos Stallinger, halftack, Lee Bridges and Bob White, regular ends, Edgar Patterson, veteran tackle. Eight other players were declared ineligible. However, the latter men had only signed up for the squad and were not regular members.
A.C.I.A.C. ruling barring students who have not made 20 semester credits a year from athletic participation was the basis for the ruling.

Quarters, Bisons Rally With Aerialing Minutes to Down Teachers' Cheyney Tripped, 12-0
In spite of the loss of several of the 1934 star players by graduation and eligibility rulings, Coach West's Howard University gridiron warriors opened the 1935 season in a blaze of glory. Saturday, by defeating Cheyney Teachers' Institute of Cheyney, Pa., and Miner Teachers' College of Washington, in a doubleheader attraction, the first ever played in the District
The Bisons, playing uphill football all the way, scored a 12-0 victory over the future teachers from Cheyney, and then rallied in the last quarter of the Miner clash to down Harold Martin's charges under a 6-0 count. A sensational 25-vari class. LaVerte Armstrong to Fr. Fenwick, freshman end, paved the way to glorious victory in the nightcap.
Pass Beats Miner
Playing with their backs to the wall from the outset of the game, when a Bison fumble was recovered by Buck Covington on the Howard 4-yard stripe, the West charges rode to victory in the last quarter, played in semi-darkness, on the crest of a forward-passing attack. For three quarters, the Bisons, strictly on the defense, checked every effort of the Martinmen to score, and then, with less than eight minutes of play remaining, unleashed an aerial attack that terminated as Fenwick, former Dunbar High School star, snared Armstrong's heave in the end zone. Another aerial for the extra point failed.
In the Cheyney game, a prolonged drive from midfield culminated with Armstrong going over left tackle from the 4-yard line for the touchdown late in the second period. The second six-pointer was registered in the third period. Fenwick and Fred Honesty blocked Hunt's punt and George Jarrett, brother of James Jarret, last year's Bison guard, recovered on Cheyney's 26-yard line. On the next play, Pryor, another freshman, right end for the 26 yards and touchdown. The try for the extra point failed on both occasions.
St. Paul Next Foe
Confident and pepped up after this double win, the Bisons will launch their C.I.A.A. schedule, Saturday, in the university stadium, with St. Paul Institute, of Lawrenceville, Va., providing the opposition. Naturally worried, but not really pessimistic over this year's prospects, since the loss of his veterans, Coach West and his two youthful assistants, Joe Cole and Ewart McGruder, began immediately after the dual victory priming his charges for the tough conference card.

By Tribute Staff Correspondent.
ITHACA, N.Y.-While Sunday morning papers and far western fans were singing the praises of their Ozzie Simmons, ebony-hued flash of the University of Iowa eleven, for his accomplishments against the South Dakota gridders at Des Moines, last Saturday, fans of the middle-west in general and of Ohio in particular, were launching a lusty acclaim for George (Puck) Burgwain, dark-skinned halfback of Western Reserve University.
Saturday, before a crowd of some 25,000 rabid fans, the Clive-Unders clipped Gil Dobie's Cornell warriors in the first major upset of the 1935 season. The Ohioans, led by their sophomore star from Steubenville, Ohio, led from start to finish in a game which ended, 33-19.
Burgwin, who first clinched his backfield berth through his stellar kicking, not only punted for all he was worth against the Ithacans, but he showed his ability as a ball-carrier as well.
When he wasn't booting, the lad was receiving passes from his teammate, Ray Zeh, white, full-back, and dazzling the Cornell secondary with as shifty bits of ground-gaining as Dobie has had to look upon against him and his charges since he has been at Cornell.
Burgwin took two passes in the second quarter and ran 31 and 32 yards, respectively, for touchdowns. In the final period, Burgwin cracked off his own right tackle, reversed his field and scampered like a scared jack-rabbit, 56 yards over the Cornell goal line.
Simmons Library
Out at Des Moines, Iowa, Ozzie Simmons who was described as a greater prospect in an open field than even the immortal Red Grange, (This tribute was paid him by Francis A. (Frank) Schmidt, coach of the Ohio State University team) starred in Saturday's game against South Dakota.
Simmons accounted for two lengthy runs to touchdowns. The first of these came in the third period and turned out to be easily the most spectacular play of the game. Simmons and Dick Crayne, captain of the team, collaborated to negotiate the maneuver.
Collaborate in Play
Crayne had received a punt on his own 16-yard line and had returned it 24 yards to his 40-yard stripe. As he streaked along, Simmons followed in hot pursuit, all the while yelling for a lateral pass when the tide game.
Three South Dakota tacklers closed in on the fiving pair. Just as he was struck, Crayne whirled and tossed 60 Simmons, who with a slight flick of his hips, shook off one tackler and was on his way. Sixty yards to the goal line he vanished, sidekicks and buckets. As he crossed the last white mark, the field behind him mosembled a battle field, would-be tacklers strewn over the course traveled by the Iowa flash as if they had been mowed down by machine guns.
Runs 60 Yards
A few minutes later, Simmons took a punt and thrilled the 38-000 spectators with another dazzling exhibition of open and broken field running, toting the oval 60 yards for a score.
Then in the fourth quarter, the Iowa junior and All-American prospect, rate indication of a triple-threat ability that was not known of before. First he rifled a pass to Wayne Mason, his right end, which the latter wasn't able to hold, but through no fault of Simmons. The heave was accuracy itself, according to reporters for the Des Moines Register daily paper.
Proves "Triple Threat"
Then to top his afternoon off, Simmons surprised the crowd by hanging a beautiful punt over the goal line in a corner of the field that barely missed the well known "coffin corner."
Many are of the opinion that Ozzie's performances of Saturday could not be accepted as a sample of what is to be expected from him during the course of the season. South Dakota was admittedly weaker opposition than Iowa is accustomed to meeting.
Simmon's first real test will come Saturday when his team is called on to oppose Andy Kerr's Colgate powerhouse.
Lincoln Lions Gird for Battle with Bears
NEW YORK (ANP) — Lincoln University, of Oxford, Pa., and Morgan College of Baltimore, Md., will meet in a football game at Dykeman oval, this city, on October 19, according to an announcement made last Friday by H. F. Grim, faculty director of athletics at Lincoln.
Morgan was the undefeated champion of the C.I.A.A. last year, numbering Lincoln among its victims.
Coach Manuel Rivero has been sparing no pains to make the Lion team an avenging one on the occasion of this New York clash.

LINCOLN-UNION GO SCORELESS DEADLOCK
Pennsylvanians Withstand Challenge of Panther Outfit at Richmond
By SPOT ROBINSON
RICHMOND, Va.—A determined ed Lincoln team fought the powerful Virginia Union eleven to a scoreless tie at Hovey Field, Saturday in a thrilling encounter featured by long runs and brilliant defense.
The Red and Steel clad warriors threatened seriously on several occasions only to be tarned back by a surprisingly strong line which refused to weaken.
Threatened in Last Minutes
The last, and incidentally, the most dangerous bid that Union made for a touchdown came in the last moments of the game as the final gun stopped the Panthers on Lincoln's 6-yard line with three downs left with which to score, Co-Captain Taylor Jones and Frank James for Union and Wendell Brown for the Lincoln Lions were the outstanding stars of the afternoon.
Although never in a threatening position, Lincoln's offense clicked well at the beginnings of both halves o f the game.

MARSHALL, Texas—After a quarter of give-and-take football with both teams finding passes and fakes ineffective, the Wiley Wildcats worked a series of end sweeps in the middle of the second quarter, and four plays from the Bishop Tigers' 40-yard line carried the ball over for the one touchdown of the game, giving them a 6-0 victory over the Bishop aggregation at Central East Texas Fair Stadium here Friday.

Aggie Eleven Spoils Morgan's Record But Loses Night Tilt
LINCOLN TO PLAY UNDER LIGHTS
Lion Gridders Carded for Night Tilt Against Sigma Thetas at Philly
CHESTER, Pa.—Word has just been released by C. F. Jones, coach of the Sigma Theta "All Stars" of Philadelphia that the Lincoln University-Sigma-Theta game will be played under the floodlights at Passon Field, on Friday night instead of Saturday afternoon. Football fans of the Quaker City will be treated to the first night game of collegiate football between Negro teams in that city. Passon Field is well lighted and the game will be handled by Central Board certified officials. Coach Rivero feels that this contest will properly round out his preparation for the Morgan-Lincoln game scheduled for Dyckman Oval, New York City. The Sigma Theta are composed of ex-college and high school stars, forming an aggregation much stronger than many in the C.I.A.A.
Coaches Rivero and Jones expressed themselves as well pleased with the showing in the Virginia Union at Richmond. The work of the essentially Sophomore line was particularly pleasing. The whole Lion squad acquitted itself well.
Simpson and Troupe Lead Bears to Victory Under Floodlights
BALTIMORE, Md.—Coach Johnny Hurt's Morgan College Bears opened their C.I.A.A. schedule in an auspicious manner, Friday, by defeating the highly-touted A. and T. College eleven, 15-7, under the floodlights at Bugle Field. With coaches from five conference schools in the stands, the Bears played straight football, failing to make use of their reputed lateral passing attack. Led by Wild Bill Simpson, halfback, and "Wattaman" Troupe, signal caller, the Hurtmen pushed over a touchdown early in the first quarter, again in the second period, and closed the days touchdown-making in the fourth session.
Scoring Play Shady
The initial touchdown came after a tricky play which drew both teams offside. A series of off-tackle thrusts and end runs, with Troupe and Simpson bearing the brunt of the attack, placed the pigskin on the 1-yard stripe. On the next play, when both teams appeared to have been offside as Sowell, Morgan center, momentarily moved the ball, Crawford went over on a sweetening end run. However, officials called offside on A. and T., and Morgan took the gain, thereby getting credit for the touchdown. Crafford failed to convert for the extra point.
The second Morgan touchdown came when Simpson raced 32 yards through tackle—from the A. and T. 34-yard line to the 2-yard line—placing the ball in scoring position. Troupe plunged through the center to score. The attempted place-kick for the extra point failed.
The Bears registered again in the fourth quarter when Troupe intercepted Norman's pass and was tackled on the A. and T. 22-yard stripe. On the next two plays Simpson again placed the ball in scoring position on the A. and T. 2-yard line. Troupe scored on a plunge through center. The extra point was scored in a similar man-
Aggies Score
The Aggies' lone score came midway the fourth quarter when after a series of passes, Norman, Aggies' quarterback, passed 15 yards to Neely, who scored from the Bears' 3-yard line. The extra point was made by Norman through the placement method.
This lone touchdown broke the Morgan record of not having been scored on since 1922.

Spells was injured in a scrimmage at the Tarheel State school and returned to the city to undergo an operation at a local hospital.
ROJANS TRIUMPH IN GRID OPENER
Virginia State College 1 1 Touchdown Better Than Delaware State
PETERSEURG, Va.—Coach Harry Jefferson's Virginia State Trojans defeated Ed. Jackson's Delaware State eleven, 6 to 0, on Rogers' Athletic Field, here last Saturday. It was the first appearance of the Trojans on their home grounds this season and Delaware's first appearance at Virginia State College in football history.
The victors, however, did not have a royal road to their glory. For Coach Jackson's scrappy team, outweighed by at least 15 pounds to the man on the line from end to end, fought the Trojans almost on even terms for the better portion of the first two periods.
Virginia State's lone touchdown came in the middle of the second quarter and culminated a sustained drive from the Delaware 29-yard line, where they got possession after Link had punted from behind his own goal line.
Mexican mines yielded about 42,244,000 ounces of silver in the first half of this year, compared with about 37,510,000 ounces in the same months last year.
FAY YOUNG
SAYS:—
Joe Louis lived up to all expectations. He was just a better man, that's all. Baer said before the scrap that he wasn't going to let any 21-year-old fighter spoil his chances of making a lot of money. Baer has plenty of time to think. If he had been champion, Louis wouldn't have got a chance at him but needing money, the color line faded. Hard times and a thin pocketbook sure made a heap of difference.
Morris Brown Humbles Allen Gridders
COLUMBIA, S.C.—Morris Brown,
after a slow start, scored four
touchdowns and two extra points
to win from Allen here Saturday
afternoon on Hurst field by a score,
26 to 0.
Morris Brown scored one touchdown
in the first quarter after five
minutes of play by a pass. Allen
held, for the rest of the half.
In the third quarter Morris
Brown turned the power on to
score three touchdowns and two
extra points.
Morehouse Prime For Benedict Clash
ATLANTA. Ga., — With 18 letter men back and fully as many potential first-line men out for positions, Morehouse College football coaches have a wealth of material from which to make up the team that is to oppose Benedict here Friday. In all, 61 men, the largest turn-out in many years have shown up for practice.
The game with Benedict will bring Morehouse up against an opponent that has tied it twice in the past three years, 6-6 in 1934 and 0-0 in 1932. In 1933 Morehouse defeated the South Carolinians 12-0.
Tribune Correspondent Passes Bar Examination
William Harold Flowers. Tribune special correspondent and student at Terrell Law School, was notified this week that he has successfully passed the bar examination for the state of Arkansas. Flowers will leave Washington, Saturday morning for Stamps, Ark, where he will take the oath of office at the Lafayette County Courthouse. Flowers came to Washington in 1933 and became a member of the Tribune staff and covered special events in the city and out of town. He will be sworn in on his 24th birthday.
Wilberforce Smothers
Morristown, 99-0
WILBERFORCE, Ohio (ANP)—With the first team playing only two periods, the second and third teams of Wilberforce surged flood, like over a light eleven from Morristown and piled up a 99-0 score here Saturday.
The spectators had hoped to get some line on the Forcesan Wave in anticipation of their relative strength against Kentucky State, their next rival, but had to go away talking about the huge score instead of the football technique of the Bulldogs.
A transmission has been invented to replace that supplied with two types of light motor trucks that provides 12 speeds forward and three reverse.

International Boxing Body Recognizes "Old George" After Win Over Charles
BRUSSELS, Belgium (ANP)—So far as the International Boxing Union is concerned, the battle for the world's heavyweight championship, will be fought out between two Negro pugilists, George Godfrey, the former Leiperville Giant, and Joe Louis. That was established last Tuesday when Godfrey met and defeated in 15 rounds in this city, Pierre Charles, the Frenchman recognized as champion by the Union.
Recognized Frenchman
The International body recognized Charles's claims last spring when Max Baer, then American champion and claimant of the world title, declined to consider a challenge from Charles.
In the new world Godfrey title is placed in "quotes" and in the old world Braddock's title receives the same treatment, while in the minds of most sportsmen on both sides of the Atlantic Joe Louis is the champion of champions, uncrowned

Owens is scheduled to participate in a "creative leisure" program for adults featuring various speakers on the subject of "hobby" activities. Perhaps Eulace Peacock will lecture at Ohio State.
Hospital Unit, Physicians Ready for Ethiopia
NEW YORK (ANP) - Horace G. Knowes, former United States minister to Rumania and treasurer of the Committee for Ethiopia, announced Thursday that the first American field hospital for Ethiopia had been completed. The entire unit, including all equipment and a staff of seven colored physicians, will be transported to Addis Ababa. Plans are under way for the completion of similar units in Cincinnati and Cleveland. Ohio, and a drive is to be launched to raise one million dollars for medical supplies.
BATON ROUGE, La. (ANP)—As 30,000 assemble $ ^{h}$ to commemorate Huey P. Long in the stadium that he built, the Louisiana State Tigers were defeated by Rice and at the same time the worst piece of racial hatred in the school's history was thrust under Negroes. Every since football games were inaugurated at L.S.U., special seating space has been provided or Negroes, usually numbering 1,500 to 2,000. But Saturday night a small section was set off in a corner of the huge stadium and $ ^{j}$ the crowd increased these seats were given to whites and epithets were hurled at Negro patrons.
Makes Colored Team Pay
It is an age-old custom of the school authorities to admit the football squad of Southern University to their games gratis, but on this occasion they were charged full admission and went without seats. Many prominent members of the race were in the crowd Dr. A. O. Lyons, local dentist, secured a ticket before he was aware of conditions inside. Upon discovery of same he left the game, but was refused return of the admission paid.
School Officials Subjected
Among others to suffer were President Trenholm, of Alabama State College; A. W. Dent, business manager of Dillard University; Dean Felton G. Clark, of Southern University; Professors R. B. Moore, J. O. B Mosely, and W. W. Stewart, of Southern University; Dr. J. Felton Brown, Dr. B. J. Young, of New Orleans; William Mitchell, of the New Orleans Y-M.C.A.; Coach C. A. Purnell, of Southern University, and Professor William H. Gray, newly appointed director of Southern University's Extension School. T. P. Heard is student manager of L.S.U. and a local committee is scheduled to present a protest.
Depression Brings Record Downingtown Enrollment
DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. — When Dowingtown Industrial School opened on September 16, it had the largest enrollment it has had in a dozen years on the first day of school. However, that increase in numbers is not to be taken as a sign of returning prosperity among the families from which Dowingtown draws its students. Never in the history of the school has it been called upon to provide self-help opportunities for so large a percentakge of its student-body. Over 50 per cent at present are working and their remaining in school is dependent upon their earnings. The charge of $16 per month for room, board, and tuition is certainly reasonable enough. Yet less than half are able to pay it.
42 CCC Boys Attend Cardozo Night School
The night school program initiated last year at CCC Company 1360, assigned to the National Arboretum at Washington, D.C., got off to a good start last week. 42 boys of the company have enrolled for various night classes. Two government trucks are provided on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings each week after the evening meal to transport them from Twenty-eighth and M Streets, Northeast to the Cardozo High School, about three miles away.
This was one of the projects to which Robert Bell the new educational adviser, and his assistant, John W. Edwards, have given their attention during the two weeks since they were appointed. Adviser Bell will continue to serve the CCC camp at Alexandria.

WASHINGIUN TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 12, 193
C. Lucien Skinner Breaks with
Management of Cotton Club
Louis Hurwitz Says He Never Authorized Aviator to
Represent Club; Proposal to Start Boys’ Club
in Temple Called “Unthinkable” +
secretary of the American "lood
Brotherhood Association, and an
official in several other organiza-
tions in and about Washington,
this week resigned as representa-
tive of the employees of the Cot-
ton Chib in the Cotton Club case
now pending before the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board.
Skinner's resignation was sent
to Louis Hurwitz, white, mareger
of the Cotton Club, following the
exposure of a letter Hurwitz had
written to frederick D. Wilkinson,
chairman of the Citizens’ steering
committee, which is the =o}
ant in the case now pending a-
gainat the club, informing Wilkin-
soy that he had never authorized
Skinner to represent him jn snv
business azrangement, and that
William C. Bailev, was chairman
of ‘his employees committee,
Muddies Case
The resignation of ~ Skinner
brought about a muddle in the
Cotton Club affairs before the
board at the hearing last Monday,
as Skinner had appeared before
the A. B. C. Board on several oc-
casions, presenting himself as the
representative of the Cotton Club
employees,
Skinner had appeared at the
hearings as their renresentative
in the presence of Hurwitz, the
manager.
The Hurwitz letter to Wilkin-
son was provoked when t was
learned that Skinner had sent ort
mimeographed letters to several
citizens and other individuals, urg-
ing them to attend a “community
set-together,” in behalf of Louis
Hurwitz.
Called Misunderstanding
“I wish to take this opportunity.
to straighten out a misunderstand-
ing which has arisen from this
letter, as some people misunder-
stand the purpose of the mecting,”
Hurwitz wrote to Wilkinson,
“I wish to state here and now
that the only interest 1 have in
this proposed club is for the bens-
fit of the boys in partievar, Mr.
Skinner approached me in quest
of a place to hold the meeting
and I, thinking of helning the boys,
donated the use of the club hall.
“I did not intend to take an
ective part. and as far as that is
concerned still do not intend to
toke an active part. as the club
business takes all of my time.
Not Authorized
“I wish to further state that
at_no time has Mr. C, Lucien
Skinner been authorized to repre-
sent me in any business arrange-
ment, All negotiations to be
made with your commitvee in my
behalf are to be made throtgh
‘our employees committee which ix
headed by Mr. W. H. Bailey.”
The letter to Wilkinson was
signed by Hurwitz, and witnessed
by William C. Bailey, chairman of
employees committee, and J. Syl-
vester Greer, secretary.
According to Wilkinson, Skinner
called at his office at Howard Uni-
versity in the interest of the meet-
ing, which he had written was
in the interest of Hurwitz. It
was this time that — Wilkinson
showed Skinner the letter from
Hurwitz, and informed him that
in view of Hurwitz’s letter, he had
no authority to deal with him
further in Hurwitz’s behalf.
Expresses Surprise
In a letter to Wilkinvon, inform-
ing him that he had resigned,
skinner expressed surprise “of the
turn of affairs in the Cotton Club
and Luncheonette matter.”
“I am however trying only to
aid all parties concerned so that
to that end I have this day, Octo-
ber 4, tendered to Mr, Hurwitz
and the employees of the Cotton
Club and Luncheonette,my resigna-
tion to take effect immediately.
“In view of Mr. Hurwitz’s let-
ter to you of the second instance,
@ copy of which was never shown
me until by you, I see no need oy
the meeting as suggested by the
writer on Saturday, the 5th at
the Cotton Club.
“It is evidently known that 1
have no club nor am I an em-
ployee of Mr, Hurwitz, so as things
now stand, T see nothing to be
gained in such a conference.”

By EDDIE NEWMAN
Hello, everyone! This is Eddie
Newman, that fellow who gets in
everyone's hair, again bringing you
the latest...PLASH! The scene
of action, Columbus and Wythe.
And here's what goes on, The old
maestro is raked over ae spala by
one af those self-appointd guidin
cilless for writing up the Boece
towners in this column. And her
claims! The dear Indy contends
that this columnist will some day
break up some of the happily el
ried couples, That statement is en-
tirelfy foolish beyond words. Many
editions ago this scribe stated that
any news item involving married
couples would never enter this
sheet, and that still goes as long
as the maestro is the writer of
‘The Voice of Alexandria, And so
I would advise this ‘wonderful
neighbor to drown that fear in the
lovely, Potomac that Uivides: dear
old Washington from Alexandria.
And may we add further: as long
as the old maestco keeps within
feason,, please let ‘The Voice of
‘Alexandria be run by Eddie New-
‘man I think enough has been
asked...Special attention! I won-
der when will the person or per-
sons having charge of the flagpole
at the loeal public school wil! ever
Jearn just when to bring that hon-
orable banner down! The maestro
in person saw it flying way after
dark lust week. The time was
about nine in the p.m. I also no-
ticed that the cloth stayed up two
complete nights. In case they don’t
know, the American flag is sup-
posed to come down at sundown.
Enough said...Anj now, getting
away from that critical niood, this
column is pleased to announce that
Dr. Lewis of the corner drug store
is going to take compete charge
of the Jones's interest in the busi-
ness, And to boort up his new!

U. S. Called Cowardly
For Neutrality Bill
During the delivery of the an-
nual foreign missionary day ser-
mon at John Wesley A.M.E. Zion
Church, last Sunday morning, Dr.
H. T_ Medford, denominational sec-
retary of foreign missions, char-
acterized the United States Gov-
ernment as cowardly for passing
the recent War Neutrality Bill.
“When ene powerful nation has
its hands on the throat of a weak,
undeveloped, and defenseless na-
tion, it’s no time for any govern-
ment to tie itself up by Tostislative
enactments wheih say to the world
that we will in no way do any-
thing to eid a defenseless aation,
the rights and liberty of which are
about to be ruthlessly taken away.”
business, the good doctor is going
to pull a big slogan contest, The
winner will get a free trip to the
Howard-Lincoln game in Atlantic
City. Surely that grand prize is
worth trying for. The main idea
of the slogan turned in must cen-
ter around boosting the corner
store. Watch this column for fur-
ther details and the annpuncement
of the opening date. And imagine
that Howard or Lincoln man tear-
ing down that field for a fifty, six-
ty or seventy-yard gain, and t am

sive, I found out to my fright that
I was receiving news tips from
Someone signing himself, “The
Mysterious Mr. X.” Now, just
who could the mystery man be, was
the first thought in my mind after
the recovery. Well, taking. the
very deep missive to my No. 1
G-man, we compared handwritings.
And 32 and behold, the mystery
man turned sut to be no man at
all. Tt was a girl? And her name,
Miss Mary Shanklin, And so to
you, dear lassie, the maestro
thanks you heartily for your sup-
port, but he has at present a very
capable writer to cover the hill and
other parts of the home town.
Please forgive me; forgive me for
breaking through’ your disguire.
So help me, so help me! And now
to that No. 1 undercover man, the
old maestro will use vour items
next week, And he also thanks you
heartily for your contributions.

SIXTEEN
TECH STUDENT IS REINSTATED BY EDUC'TION BOARD
Harry Carter, Armstrong High School youth who was suspended indefinitely after a fight with J. Quincy Adams, Armstrong teacher, was ordered reinstated by the Board of Education this week. Carter who lives at 2126 Second Street was ordered reinstated following the protest of Henry I. Quinn, board member. Adams was also suspended by the board for a period of three months. Carter is said to have called Adams a "Boy Scout" when the teacher appeared on the stadium of the school last June in an Officer's Reserve uniform. The two became ngaged in a fight and Carter struck Adams across the head with a stick inflicting severe injuries.
Quinn argued that it was unfair to make the boy lose a year's credit through being forced to remain out of school' for two months or more. Quinn said he probably would have done the same thing himself if he were 17. The decision to resinstate Carter was reached after a conference in the office of Dr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, with G. David Houston, principal, and Carter's father.
CH'RCHWORKERS CONFAB OPENS
Warning the delegates to hue rigidly to the essential and fundamental lines of Christian work during all their deliberations, the Right Rev. James C. Freeman, bishop of the Washington diocese, addressed a capacity congregatin, Wednesday night, at the opening of the three-day provincial conference of the Church Workers Among Colored People, at the St. Monica Episcopal Chapel, South Capitol and L Streets.
The bishop declared "the primary purpose of the Christian church is to save Christian souls. You may do everything else, but if you fail in this, the church loses its respect."
Reminding the congregation that the world today is in a perilous state and that the present condition of chaos threatens the stability of the church, Bishop Freeman expressed the hope that delegates to the conference address themselves only "to those things essentially and fundamentally related to the church, and those things vital to the continuity of the church."
Preceding the bishop's address, the Rev. E. Sydnor Thomas, of Germantown, Pa., delivered the conference sermon The Rev. Edgar C. Young, president of the conference, gave the response to the bishop's welcoming remarks. The conference will close Friday night with the Rev. Cannon Anson P. Stokes making the concluding address. All of the sessions will be held in the St. Monica Chapel. Delegates will visit the Washington Cathedral en masse today (Thursday).

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 12, 1935
rollment throughout the country, to 600,000 men. it was announced this week.
In addition to the regular enrict of Columbia, war veterans rolles to be provided by the Distand transients here will also be encouraged to enroll in the CCC camps.
War veterans will be selected at the Veterans' Administration, Vermont Avenue and H Street, Northwest. Regular enrollees and transients will be selected at the Public Assistance Division office at Indiana Avenue and Third Street Northwest.
Regular enrollees must be single men between the ages of 17 and 28 who are members of families on relief. The man may remain in camp for a period of 18 months, if they so desire. They will be paid $30 a month, plus food, clothing and shelter, transportation, medical and educational service. Energetic effort and outstanding leadership on the part of individual enrollees will be rewarded by promotion to jobs paying $36 and $45 a month.
To lighten the burden of unemployment, the bulk of each enrollee's wages will be sent home to his dependents, as he will need very little cash for incidental expenses. The number of men from the District already in CCC camps is more than 3,000. Their dependents are receiving out of their wages an estimated total of $77,000 a month.
Herndon Case Brief Filed by N.A.A.C.P.
NEW YORK.-A brief as amici curiae (friends of the court interested in the cause) in the Angelo Herndon case has been filed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and others in the United States Supreme Court.
The brief is in support of a motion for a re-hearing by the highest court which has been made by Herndon's attorneys of record. Last May the Supreme Court declined to review the Herndon appeal, holding that his lawyers had not raised the federal question properly. His lawyers have appealed from this technical ruling and asked the court to reconsider the case. The motion for rehearing is expected to be heard within the next six weeks. Herndon meanwhile, was granted a stay from beginning service of his sentence of 18 to 20 years on a chair gang until the Supreme Court act upon the new petition. He was convicted in Atlanta. Ga. of "insurrection" because he led a demonstration for better relief.

to protest. Dr. Thompkins went a-
long, he said.
Slaps Society
Expounding on his same argu-
ment that Negroes in Washington
should have a complete set-up
manned by colored; that they
should have a hospital, well baby
| stations, an assistant health officer,
among other things, Dr. Thomp-
‘kins launched into a scathing. at-
tack on the Washington Medico-
Ohirurgica! Society, charging them
with being in a state of lethargy.
“We are not going to sit by and
listen to Dr. Ruhland say we are
‘not together;” Dr. Thompkins said
in announcing the withdrawal of
his committee from the scene, “we
do not want him to have any ex-
euse for not guarding the health
of the 140,000 Negroes in Wash-
ington,
“As soon as the medical profes-
sion has shown that they are not
going to do anything the citizens
association are going to work a-
gain and demand these health
benefits.
To Stand By
“If the medica! profession has
decide to function, God bless
them, and the citizens committee
are not going to be in their way.
But we will not be satisfied until
‘a well constructed hospital for Ne-
groes has been set up, and these
other benefits I have mentioned are
available to my race.
“If the medical men can get to-
gether and put. the program over
without our help, I say_God bless
them again. We are going to sup-
port Dr. Ruhland and the medical
profession as long ax they show
fairness, but’ we will beragainst
Dr. Ruhland and anyone else
doesn't wish to be fair,” Dr.
Thompkins said.
Dr. Thompkins recalled the in-
cident wherein the health efficer
sought the co-operation of the citi-
zens group in getting an additional
appropriation from Congress for
the health department, which ap-
propriation was given.
Negroes not Called
“Tt was a great short-sighted-
ness for the health department to
call a meeting to plan a set-up for
an anti-tuberculosis campaign, nd
not call in any Negroes,” Dr.
Thompkins said,
“We are not condemning Dr.
Ruhland at this time, but I wish
to serve notice now that he will
be called upon to show himse!f
to be a little more demonstrative
in the future, for if he doesn't
the citizens will go direct fo Con”
gress and ask for class legislation
and a special colored set-up if we
don’t get what we want from Dr.
Ruhland.
“While we do not approve of
this plan, we believe it is essential
to preserve the health of both
races of Washington,” the record-

Reached over the telephone, Dr.
Lane said that his medical associa-

and they held a conference in the
office of Dr. Ruhland last. Thurs-
day, and met again last Friday at
the request of Dr Thompkins,
when he had learned of the Thurs-
day meeting.
Dr. Lane said the Medico-
Chirurgical Society will co-operate
in every way with the health de-
partment and will seek the aig of
all civic organizations to put the
program over, He said he would
also seek the aid of the organiza-
tion of which Dr. Thompkins is a
member,
“The ‘health department recog-
nized both medical organizations
in the city,” Dr. Tane said, and
asked that they be the agents of

Dr. Lane said he insisted that
the medical societies handle the
campaign, and that his request
was granted. :

International House Razed
Heretofore the university has
been able to accommodate more of
its male students than is possible
this year, due to the ee 2 of the
International House during the
summer, and the reducing of room
space in Clark Hall.
‘The International House. a
building dedicated to the students
of foreign birth, housed approxi-
mately 16 students last year, but
the builling was torn down. Iast
summer, leaving the students who
were accustomed to living ir it
during the school year without a
home.
Roorm in Clark Hall were
turned into suites last summer.
and where two men were assigned
to a single room, three men hae
‘been assigned to a suite of two;
rooms. reducing the usual accom-
modations by fifty.
Two Were Suspended
When school opened, male stu-
dents, who were unaware of the
reduction in room accommoda-
tions, were practically homeless,
With only a slight knowledge of
the city, they were several days
trying to get located, and were
met. by unsympathetic officials
who refused to let them stay in
the dormitory with their friends
until they could find a place to
stay.
A week after school had opened,
Dean of Men William B. West sus-
pended two students for an entire
semester for staying in Clark Hall
without having a room assigned
to them,
The students, Elihu Morson, a
senior from White Plains. N'Y.,
and Jemes Boyd, a sophomore
from Jamaica, LI., were without
a place to stay and. finding vacant
beds in the dormitory in rooms
with friends, they staved thore
until suspended by Dean West. who
they thought would be sympatheti=
in view of the unusual circum-
stances.
Follows Tribune Exposure
The penalty of the students was
reduced from a half-year suspen-
sion to ten days, when an appeal
was taken to the university dis-
cipline committee and the facts
in the case disclosed.
The suspension of the students
was carried exclusively in the Tri-
bune last week ,and a copy sent
to Secsetary Iekes’s office. Ths
week the secretary allotted the
$525,000 for the erection of new
dormitories.
Whether or not Clark Hall would
be razed has not been definitely
decided, V. D. Johnston, treasurer
of the university, said this week,
but it is known’ that it will be
replaced by the new buildings
Dr. Johnson Elated
[gh Mordecai W Johnson, presi.
dent of the university, appeared
j very much eluted over the an
nouncement of the allotment, teli-
ing the Tribune that the erection
will meet @ great need
‘The dormitories are to be in the
early American style, Dr. John-
son said, which is the usual style
of paildings, on the campus. Each

| commodave 300 students, ang will

The decision was held up last
week at the request of Wilkinson
because Louis Hurwitz, white, own-
er of the club, was not present at
the hearing.
Counsel for Hurwitz called
Louis Lautier, an employee in the
United States Nepartment of Jus-
tice, to testify in their behalf.
Lautier told the board that he
was representing a Baltimore pa-
per, and in reply to a question put
by a member of the board, denied
that the paper he was representing

The board ordered counsel for
the Cotton Club to submit an affi.

‘The board ruled that she could
not be reinstated, but could apply

out that if she were re-appointed,

New Requirement
‘The present. requirements. make
it necessary for @ clerk to have a

was not the requirement at the

While Mrs. Taylor contended
that she should not. be required
to meet present requirements that
were not required at the time she
was appointed, she studied short-
hand, and was declared eligible
for re-appointment -on September

On September 16, a position
which Mrs. Taylor claims she
should have had was filled by ap-
pointing No. 1 on the eligible list,
who was Miss Katherine Taylor
former secretary to the dean of
the coleee of Liberal Arts at
Howard University.
It has not been recommended
by Dr. Frank Ballou superintend-
ent, that Mrs. Taylor be declared
eligible for reinstatement, but the
recommendation ig too late, as the
position was filled September 16,
and no other openings exist.
Name Withheld
Though Mrs. Taylor was de.
clared eligible for re-appointment.
on September 14, her name ad not
been sent up to Superintendent
Ballou by Dr. Howard H. Long,

Wilson declared,
“Inalicnable rights,” which the
grand exalted ruler pointed out in
his proclamation, include:
“Habeas Corpus, or the right te
be brought from jail to trial and
to have’ bail; bills of attainder,
or the right not to be a nobody by
loss of name and property; expost

WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 12, 1935
That Hoover Speech
Since Japan made a success of acting selfishly while talking politely, it seems to have become the fashion. Italy moves forward with slaughter yet without a declaration of war. Americans orate about individualism, yet make their fortunes by collective action. Mr. Hoover speaks as an expert on statesmanship, yet saw the country plunged into a depression which was world-wide, while he and his party were in power. Franklin D. Roosevelt is the man who dared, promised and acted, yet those who now emerge from their economic cyclone-cellars, seek to discredit that action.
The time seems to be ripe for the division into conservative and liberal parties in place of the older designations of Republican and Democratic. Both parties need to have it understood that the welfare of the nation comes before party success.
Both parties need to discuss policies, not personalities. Both need to realize the positive danger lurking in unbridled fault-finding. At present the Republican party is the most blameworthy, because every criticism made by one of its members is a confession of its own ineptitude in the face of the gravest national crisis.
Public service in the United States ought to be the highest possible career but unless a man is as wealthy as Mr. Mellon, he can not escape the bitterest criticism in public office.
Senator Cabot Lodge and President Wilson fought each other to the death ever differences in policy, yet both seemed to be actuated by the highest patriotism. The urge to "Turn back!" by Mr. Hoover and his colleagues is futile. Nations change and even decay, but never turn back.
Civil Procession
Passing centuries register the upward swing of human classes. Slowly, grouping mankind has moved at terrifice toll up from the Stone Age, the tribe governed by a revered patriarch, and then a militant king and emperor. When mighty Rome was conquored by internal ease and the softness of luxury found so weak against the Barbarian, then strong men arose to rule the masses. Learning, invention, commerce and the Christianity undermined Feudalism, however, and nations or states emerged with their citizens. In 1776, the people, a militant minority, established a new system based upon their sovereign pledge to each other.
Through it all conquored people became slaves, debtors became prisoners, the poor became bondsmen and only the shrewd and courageous ruled.
With ever-increasing rapidity the ruled classes became the rulers. Paper ballots became the weapons instead of clubs, swords and shooting irons.
Here, from a few thousands to forty millions used those ballots in sixteen decades. Here other millions slowly rise to the dignity, privilege and responsibility of citizenship.
To own land or property, to pay taxes, to vote and to hold public office are a result of centuries of struggle.
They are the precious heritage of freemen. The ages have witnessed a steady civil procession not to be easily re-directed.
The Promise of Youth
Fortunate is that people whose youth still dream of conquest, still light from the spark left by an aged past and push forward towards some realization.
"Ah, youth, whose hope is high.
Who dost to Truth aspire,
Whether thou live or die,
O look not back nor tire."
"If thou canst Death defy,
If thy Faith be entire.
Press onward, for thine eye Shall see thy heart's desire."
Ponder the ceaseless current in those lines and read the evidence in human progress. Try thyself and if the fire burns unquenchedly make the solemn pledge to thyself in these latter ones:
"This is the glory of earth-born men and women,
not to cringe, never to yield, but standing,
take defeat implacable and defiant,
In this hard star-adventure, knowing not
what the fires mean to right and left, nor whether a meaning was intended or presumed.
man can stand up, and look out blind and say:
In all these turning lights I find no clue,
only a masterless night and in my blood
no certain answer, yet is my mind my own,
yet is my heart a cry toward something dim
and makes me emperor of the endless dark even in seeking!!-
Maybe it's all right, but we can't understand the feasibility of WPA workers going on a strike. Regardless of the wages paid, the WPA is still a "relief" agency of our government. The only place a man can consistently "strike" when obtaining direct work relief is at the ballot box, not at the work itself.
Here they are—three great needs: character, religion, education. — All three.
Kelly Miller Discusses
Union of the
A. M. E., A. M. E. Z.
And C. M. E.
Denominations
A denomination is a body of Christians united by a common faith and form of worship and discipline. There are over two hundred denominations of Christians differentiated by creed or ritual. The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized by John Wesley in America in 1784. Since then it has split into six separate denominations—three white and three colored. The proposal to unite the three white bodies is now receiving wide discussion. The A. M. E. and A. M. E. Z. denominations split off from the parent body at about the same time and for practically the same reason—race prejudice. The C. M. E. was later set apart by the M. E. church South. There never has been any creedal or ritual difference in those Negro denominations. These three denominations copied their confession of faith and form of worship from the mother church.
I remember the first time that I saw Dr. Price, president of Livingstone College, was in 1881 when he was visiting Washington as a member of a commission to consolidate these denominations. I recall that he expressed the hope that the union would take place as the result of the pending deliberations. For more than fifty years there has been repeated effort to bring about this result, but all without success. There never has been, and is not now, any reason why these denominations should not unite except for practical difficulty of ecclesiastical consolidation.
EXPERIENCE PROVES THAT
IDEALOUSIES PREVENT UNION
Experience shows that it is exceedingly difficult to have separate church organizations, of the same faith and order, united into one congregation with one set of officers, purely for reasons of ecclesiastical and personal jealousy. Neither congregation is willing to give up its own name, pastor and set of officers. One often finds several struggling congregations of the same denation in a given community whereas, if they were consolidated into one congregation the work of the Master could be carried on with half the expense and thrice the efficiency.
But human nature, with its petty jealousies and narrow possessions, is a stubborn force which must be reckoned with in all practical dealings.
These denominations for many years have been operating in the same field and among the same class of people. Each of them is ambitious to cover the entire Negro race; but the field is very imperfectly covered and too often the work is inefficiently done. Poor congregations and poorly prepared ministers are struggling as best they can in the spirit of rivalry rather than Christian union and cooperation.
It is pathetic to go through a small town and see a little A. M. E. church on one corner, an A. M. E. Z. on the other and a C. M. E. on still another, whose combined congregations could barely support a competent minister and carry on up-to-date church activities. If there were any reasonable hope or promise for growth or enlargement in the early future, this wasteful duplication of effort might not be so inexcusable. But for the past thirty or forty years neither of these denominations have very greatly augmented its membership.
TOO MANY SMALL CHURCHES
TO DO ANY GOOD
In the large cities the membership of each denomination is concentrated in a few large churches with little or no promise of church extension. I could whether there are many more Negro Methodists in Washington today than there were when I came to the city fifty-five years ago. Whatever increase may have taken place has arisen from immigration, rather than by fresh recruits.
It is pathetic to say that these churches are wanning rather than waxing as a potent religious and social factor in the life of the race. There is need of fresh impulse and incentive. This it seems, might well be brought about by the union of the three bodies into one solid phalanx of Christian endeavors. Where there are no doctrinal differences, nothing but ecclesiastical pride and joyless can keep denominations apart. Naturally enough each church has a number of ambitious men for the higher orders and is zealous to retain its traditional name.
Consolidation means devising a new name, reduction in the number of bishops and general offices. No candidate wants the door of hope shut in his face by consolidation. The consolidation of denominational schools, colleges and other properties ought not to occasion any insuperable difficulty.
NOW IS THE STRAGETIC
TIME TO UNIONIZE
This is a strategic moment for such consolidation to take place. It so happens that there are a number of vacancies on the bench in the three bodies and funds are not sufficient to pay the full staff of general officers. Should

Says smut is creeping into plays at local vauleville theatre
Washington's colored theatres have always revealed in the reputation of clean shows. Their patrons never wanted smut.
But those who saw the last several revues at the Howard Theatre noted with surprise that again its shows contained smut.
A majority of the people who witness such performances never scream praises of them, r even as much as talk about the shows.
In other words, what has the Howard Theatre manager, who permits dirty talk and vulgar scenes as part of the entertainment he offers, to gain by it?

NEGRO NEWSPAPERS
(From The Tampa Bulletin)
Negro Newspapers are slowly making their way into the homes of Negroes. They are powerful instruments in getting over to the Negro the kind of material needed in the building of a race. Negro thought is essential. The Negro newspaper alone gives it. It is not to be had from books used in schools. One can get Negro opinion of men and measures only from Negro papers—not from papers published for Negroes but from papers published by Negroes.

MISERY IN HARLEM
THE DAILY (N.Y.) WORKER
On one square block in Harlem there live
3,871 persons!
This simple fact—made known yesterday
through the Mayor's Committee on City Plan-
ning—speaks more eloquently of the real under-
lying reasons for the spontaneous outbreak
of March 19 than all the Hearst and official
shorting of "Reds."
The Negro people not only have the densest
block in the city, but they also have:
The highest rents.
The greatest unemployment. The highest infant mortality rate. The highest tuberculosis rate. Jammed in behind the steel walls of segregation. The Negro people of Harlem have long been victims of rapacious real estate sharks.
Two Sonnets in Sequence BY COLEMAN G. DUCKETT
I set my questing course behind a ray
Of sunlight, probing through a somber
Of sunlight, probing through a somber cloud—
An omened symbol of the grave and
shroud
That shields the light and leads young love
astray.
Who follows that one prism of the day;
But loneliness is leveler of the meek and
proud;
And so it led to where a brooklet flowed...
There you were hiding, where black shadows
lay.
[ Led you forth from where you shivered,
glooming,
Into my sun, full at his zenith's height.
And laughed at portents that would hide
his light.
And made you laugh to think of bright days
coming ...
How could I see the danger of a dark
disgrace.
In flecks of sunlight on a brown girl's face?
ECLIPSE
I shall not weep now that you leave me thus;
Tears are but the refuge of a pulsing
mind;
Small meed of grace for days vouchsafed to
us;
Poor pay indeed for hours so richly kind.
I shall not weep, for what would tears reveal
But weakness in a heart of flinty
strength?
I'll harbor scars awhile—and then conceal
Behind the veil that hides all scars at
length.
I said I shall not weep; but will arise
At dayspring with a light laugh on my lips.
I shall walk to the brook where, custom-wise. We often stood and swapped its dewy sips; Then I shall raise my dry eyes, dumb and drear. And watch the treacherous sun grow gray with fear.

The white Christian is perfectly willing to accept the colored member on the basis of brotherhood, but not of fellowship. It is reserved for the Negro Methodist to point out the way of Christian union among all peoples of the same faith and order. Let us hope that this long-referred consolidation will speedily be brought to pass. When this has been accomplished, the colored members of the mother Methodist church, however they may be adjusted in the meantime by the exigencies or race prejudice within the parent body, will in all probability find it easy and agreeable to unite with their colored brethren in consolidated Negro Methodism. Ideally, all Methodists should unite in one body without regard to race or color; but the practical will precede the ideal. The Negro must become one with himself before he can reasonably hope to become one with his white brethren.
(Continued from last week)
Carl cordially greeted his old acquaintance, the principal. The principal's morning routine interested Carl. Girl students came in bringing notes and reports from the teachers. Some requested paper roll books or weekly report blanks. Young men came in with notices of club meetings or athletic organization conclaves to be read by the principal at the chapel services. A committee of white men from the local police department came in to fit uniforms on the High School Police Force, whose duty it was to see that order was kept in the building at all times during the day and at the chapel services. The principal dictated a few letters of recommendation and transcript transfers to his secretary. Then he turned to Carl Brandon who had been silently watching all these activities and invited him to have a few words to say at the chapel services.
Carl consented. Promptly at 12 o'clock noon the electric bells, strong-toned, loud, resounding, stopped forty classes, Immediately students arose, left teachers at desks or passed them on duty at doorways. The majority of them walked into the large Booker Washington High Auditorium. Some walked out of the building, either to meander on the outside until caught, or to go into nearby grocery stores to purchase luncheons or to slim home.
As was the case each day at this hour confusion reigned in the large auditorium. There were several hundred students coming in from the entrances. They did not find their seats as quickly as they should have or as quickly as they might have. Sometimes certain of the boys were unnecessarily loud and rough. Sometimes certain of the girls were unnecessarily flippant. Even when they had found seats, and only a small minority were standing, there was a loud murmur of voices, like five hundred persons whispering audibly to one another in unison. Later the audible whispering subdued and there was a lull before the attitude of attentiveness to what was going on on the rostrum developed. The murmurs, the blanket wave of sound gave way to tense whisperings, reflecting the attitude of expectancy. Besides Carl Brandon and the principal there were four people on the rostrum. Two of them were white and two were colored. The principal had to stand for a full minute on the rostrum, directly in front of the pulitb before a reasonable degree of quiet was obtained among the students. Then the program was started with a scripture reading by the principal.
Following this and the reading of a few announcements the two white visitors were introduced. The man was a representative of an Educational Association and gave a talk on the aims of the educational structure in the South. He told of his personal keen interest in the various high schools and junior colleges in the State of Florida. Then he introduced the woman who accompanied him. She gave a typical lecture calculated to appeal to her audience, it seemed to Carl Brandon, on the Negro's contribution to music and the arts and was particularly careful to mention the names of various Negro poets, composers and artists such as Dunbar, Coleridge Taylor, Tanner. Her talk was applauded by the students.
The principal then introduced Carl as a classmate of his at the State College, visiting in Miami prior to his departure for the West where he would take up his college studies at the University Carl had prepared a short talk on "The Future of the Negro" and gave it from a card outline he extracted from his inner coat pocket. At one time the principal interrupted him to tell him to speak louder. His talk was well received. The final speaker on the program was a local A.M.E. minister who discourced on religious theme with real force and fervor.

Africa Speaks
We now can understand some of the reasons for the anxiety of Great Britian over the East African situation. Kwable Tibbo, writing in The African Morning Post of Accra, the Gold Coast, says: "We must make it plain to the Italians in our midst that we are not indifferent to their harrassing attitude in Abyssinia, and that our sympathies naturally go with the Abyssinians. They must be told that it would be suicidal to their own interest to think otherwise. Now, youth, our brothers across the seas, the Afra-mericans have embarked upon the justifiable cause of boycotting Italians goods. Why should we in West Africa continue to replenish Mussolini's exchequer by patronizing Italian goods? Let us stop it and post haste too.
"Again, the Italians in West Africa must be made to bear the brunt of the blunders of their Signess at home. Youth, if you decide upon buying a new hat, violin, guitar or wine, first satisfy yourself with the brand. If it is labelled 'Made in Italy.' hand it back over the counter. We cannot afford to arm Mussolini's soldiers blindly against Abyssinia. We would be pointing the pistol point against our own selves. We would be fighting by the Abyssinians, physically, morally and financially by means of boycott calculated to weaken the finances of Italy. Abyssinia would be saved thereby.
"On behalf of the youth of the Gold Coast, I appeal to our local government and the unofficial members of the Legislative Council to stop letting contracts to our local Italians as a protest against their belligerent actions in Abyssinia."

True Sportsmanship
It is gratifying to note the strong editorial backing the metropolitan dailies gave the ideal of "fair play" in the case of Joe Louis. The New York Post came out in a ringing affirmation of the liberal and tolerant spirit that was manifested in letting Joe not only knockout Baer, but pick up a check for $217,000 and depart in peace for his home in the West. The New York Sun delved even deeper into the public consciousness by pointing out that Joe Louis is a product of the much abused "machine system"——that he once tended a machine in Mr. Ford's factory in Detroit, and averred that perhaps he formed the basis of his amazingly precise technique in going through the monotonous but exact motions of putting in place, over and over again, a certain bolt in the body of Ford cars.
Even Westbrook Pegler, the Scripps-Howard columnist whose daily stint is released in the New York World-Telegram, relented from his former dyspeptic attitude exhibited just prior to the Louis-Carnera bout, and actually praised the Brown Bomber for his fine public deportment, and recommended him as a model for Congress in the economical use of words.
Joe Louis, indeed, was very well received on his last New York appearance
New Recognition
It was just about a year ago that a New York Negro writer predicted that, among the achievements of the next fifty years, Negroes would get professorships in the local colleges and universities. Now we see a large advertisement of New York University in the New York Times Sunday Magazine which carries, under "Literature, Fine Arts and Music" division in the following: "Negro Contribution to American Art: Lecture-recitals illustrating the important and unique note the Negro has added to American musical, literary and dramatic art, and his contributions to our culture. Negro poets and musicians will assist." The professor listed as conducting as conducting the course is Dr. James Weddon Johnson, the well known author and editor of Negro poetry and spirituals. Listed in the same section with Dr. Johnson are five other courses with professors as follows: "Modern Art and Tradition, Dr. Bernard Myers; Interior Decoration, Mr. Walter Rendell Storey; Masterpieces of Western Literature, Prof. Edwin Berry Burgum; Listening to Music, Prof. Martin Bernstein; Music as a Part of General Culture, Dr. Hugo Leichtentritt."
At last the ice has been broken
Eternal Youth
No more convincing sign of eternal youth in a man of age may be noted than in Dr M. W. Dogan, president of Wiley College in Texas. A few months ago he was being entertained by a group of his alumni in Los Angeles; and now we read that he is dissatisfied with the fact that his school, in maintaining Class A standing, is sticking too close to city students and is launching a plan to carry liberal training into rural areas.
Dr. Dogan, born in Mississippi, is now 72, and is now in his 39th year as president of Wiley. He is perhaps our only college president who travels from coast to coast on business for the institution; and that unique distinction comes to a college west of the Mississippi river. A few years ago he was rated as one of the three oldest college presidents in point of service the race has, and he may be THE oldest by now. But he certainly gives the impression of being the youngest!

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
As It Seems
By FREDERICK S. WEAVER
Representative Arthur W. Mitchell, the "Black Sheep" of the Negro race, in an interview with the Associated Negro Press a few days ago, issued several scorching statements directed at Huey P. Long, deceased United States Senator from Louisiana.
When I read the interview in the weekly papers, I said to myself: "So What?" "Can't the same accusations be applied to the arrogant, repulsive Illinois solon?" I answered my own questions in the affirmative.
Senator Long was "irrepressible in action and speech," Mitchell was quoted as saying to the public press.
So is Mitchell. He demonstrated that he was irrepressible in action when he attacked a news-cameraman who was attempting to take a photo of the representative and his wife as they were leaving their home to attend a White House reception. A few days later, it was reported that he became irritated when questioned by a reporter for the Daily Worker, after consenting to an interview, and ushered her out of his office in the most indignant manner.
I Ain't Going To Represent—"
In speech he is irrepressible every time he opens his mouth. What can be more irrepressible than his recent utterance declaring everything done by the N.A.A.C.P. is vicious? What was more irrepressible than his declaration that he was not going to represent his race in the Halls of Congress; that he owed nothing to the Negro? The best thing that the congressman can do is to hang his head in shame and give up trying to represent anyone, white or black, because neither want his representation as he will find out in the 1936 election. The only people who say they are his friends, though they are not, are Southern white men. What they really like is the "Uncle Toming" of Mitchell, his "Yes sir white man" activities, rather than Mitchell himself.
The speeches and actions of Huey Long pale into insignificance when it comes to comparing them to the speeches and action of the Illinois blabla. One thing that can be said to Long's credit is that he didn't go around directing attacks at the dead as Mitchell is doing.
Mitchell waits until the Louisiana Senator is dead before he tells the public that he would like to kick him—that he is "irrepressible in action and speech;" that he was "the worse man in the United States Senate."
The Louisiana Kingfish was in the Senate practically every day that Mitchell was in the House Chamber. If Mitchell had any kicking he wanted to do, I am sure that the Kingfish was in the receptive mood for whatever Mitchell had to offer in the way of a kick. The truth is that Mitchell, like a coward, is ready to kick the man's corpse.
The Worst Man in the House
Since Mitchell has taken it upon himself to name whom he considered the "worse man in the Senate," we might as well finish the rounds and name the worse man in the House of Representatives. Arthur Mitchell leads the race by a long shot. He is way ahead of Representative Tom Blanton, the Texas Ku Kluxer, who would lynch a Negro on the floor of the House if he had his way.
I think we can go even farther than Mitchell, and name the worse man in the Negro race—Public Enemy No. 1, of the Negro Race, Arthur W. Mitchell, Democratic Representative from Illinois.
Long "had no use for an intelligent colored person," Mitchell is quoted as saying in his interview. It is assumed that Mitchell is that "intelligent colored person" of whom he referred. If Long had no use for an intelligent colored person he probably took his lesson from his critic, because Mitchell has made it distinctly known that he has no use for any colored person, be he intelligent or ignorant.
David N. Harrell, of Portsmouth, Virginia, in a letter to the N.A.A.C.P., which Mitchell called "vicious," sums up Mitchell's attitude quite accurately:
"The consensus of opinion down this way and especially among his own people is to the effect that he is no . . . good. When this man's time expires by limitation, special efforts should be employed to have his position filled by some colored man without an exaggerated idea of his own importance.
"Every statement I have the pleasure of reading, purporting to fall from this man's lips, contains many vituperative and insinuating remarks addressed either to some individual or organization of his own group."
A very serious indictment, though to my mind true, all of which goes to show that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Treated with a flexible bakelite material, textile with many uses has been invented that resists the effects of liquids that stain or corrode.
Pickens' Opinion
BRISBANITY
Whenever a Negro wins a great heavyweight boxing match, all the white preachers and hypocritical moralists get dead set against the whole business of boxing, and get loud and furious in their attacks on the sport. The writer of this article has contempt for the whole business of brutal fighting for money and prizes, but that does not blind us to the queer phenomenon of how a "superior race" reacts to the affair, when a man of that race loses the fight.
Arthur Brisbane, a clever writer, is sane on all questions except the race question of the United States. He goes hay-wire as soon as his logic hits the color-line. In that he is like many unfortunate people who have developed color-prejudice; they may be talking ever so sane about some line of human activity, and as soon as you interject, "And where does the Negro fit into that scheme?"—right there they blow up, and some special scheme will have to be made to fit the despised or feare" race into it. All the logic that was logic just a minute before, becomes illogical as soon as the Negro is taken into consideration.
It is natural, at least it is inevitable, that when a "superior race loses in a contest, it must seek an alibi: it cannot lose just because it was in any way "inferior"; there is always some other reason why it lost,—usually some other reason really discreditable to the "inferior" person who happened to be the winner. So Brisbane, who is usually sane, finds out that Joe Louis Barrow whipped Max Baer simply because Joe is nearer the savage than is Max,—and Brisbane goes on to assert the astonishing nonsense that a real savage could lick Joe as soundly as Joe licked Baer. There is no evidence anywhere that any savage, by virtue of being savage, would have the slightest advantage against either Louis or Baer, in a fair fight, in a ring, with a referee, where nobody is allowed to bite or to foul, or to fight after the gong sounds.
Brisbane asserts very naively that we ought to have a white world champion and a black world champion, that is, the white and black ought not to fight each other, because, according to Brisbane, a white man at his best cannot beat a colored man at his best. If that be true, then the white man would simply have to be "white champion" and the Negro would have to be "the champion of the world."
The alibi hunters make the thing ridiculous: the great bulking Carrera tried to explain his beating on the theory that he had been drugged somehow,—that after Louis's gloves came into contact with his Italian jaw, he felt weak in the legs (as, of course, he did),—as if Blackburn had put some sort of "goofer dust" in Joe's gloves. Alabama has tried to explain Joe's fighting courage on the grounds of Indian blood,—as if nearly the whole Negro population of the south did not have some Indian blood, and some white blood. Some crank tried to explain the running of Owens, Tolan and Peacock on the theory that the Negro has a longer heel than white people,—which might only help the Negro if he were running backwards. But Owens's heels were found to be no longer than those of the white contestants. It takes a very "superior" man to say simply: "I was worsted, beaten."

A Column of Contributed Verse Conducted by COLEMAN G. DUCKETT Something ought to be done about these pragmatic poets who go prowling around asking silly questions. No doubt Mr. Clinton expected to find the succulent product of which he was in search all neatly canned, labelled and included in the fifty-seven varities:
TRADE MARK REGISTERED
I know that each commodity
Has a signal mark of trade,
But in what sunny factory
Is love made?
I would find out, so I essayed
Upon the quest to go,
But found it not on nill, in glade,
Though I searched them high
and low.
And so I gave up in despair
And saw my last hope fade,
I could not find it anywhere
The place where love is made.
At last two lovers, brown as sugar
I saw beneath the shade
And wondered if they would
remember
The place where love is made.
He was a boy, and she a maid,
Why were they clinging so?
But when I asked, she blushed and
said:
"Oh, wouldn't you like to know?"

Students are urged to study and learn one fact about Negro history each week. The material here is taken from "One Hundred Amazing Facts About the Negro," by J. A. Rogers, author of "From Superman to Man" and other books about Negro history. The Negro was the first artist. The oldest drawings and carvings set discovered were executed by Negro peoples 15,000 years ago in Southern France, Northern Spain, Palestine, South Africa and India. The drawings are on rock, the carvings on bone and ivory.

Two of Washington's high-ups feeling rather low-down these days (in spirit of course). They're worried because they've got to find a new excuse for trailing the milkman by so many hours (The old ones about "Tire trouble made me late," "Had to build up the battery, dear," and "Slowed down to keep the carburator from skipping" have lost their effectiveness on account of having been used too frequently).
****
Big things are happening fast for the Patterson's. Miss Wilhelmina B. Patterson woke up the other morning and found herself selected to heat the music study classes in District Public Schools. And at this very minute Miss Patterson, her brother—law and sister (Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Dale, Jr., of 1145 Sumner Road, Southeast), and their charming daughter, Thelma are all begging the minutes to fly so they can hurry to Alabama to attend the inauguration of Dr. F. D. Patterson as head of Tuskegee Institute. (Miss Patterson and Mrs Dale are sisters of Dr. Patterson).

Have you noticed that a Minon (Miss Emily) always occupies the major place in a Q Street dentist's car?
...
Mrs. Eunice Howard. 1101 Fairmont Street, Northwest, doing a lot of picking and choosing and finally deciding upon the loveliest shade of blue imaginable to wear to a smart affair the other day.
There's a lot of talk going the rounds about Sunday breakfast in bed for sweet Co-eds, and ever, body is voting "Yea" or "Nay" on the subject. (My opinion isn't worth a dime, but I'm adding an O.K. anyhow). But suppose the idea is some day put into practice at Howard and suppose the ham-and-egg-filled trays (with bread and butter and coffee or milk for good measure) get to the Co-ed's bedside late; suppose she happens to be a soprano, a contralto, or maybe an alto; and suppose she can't find time to dine and dress and take her place in the Rankin Chapel choir stand; suppose that at the Sunday morning service when "What of the Night, O Watchman" or some other ballad is sung, it should lose its accustomed sweetness because the singing Co-ed was still in bed; then, I'd quickly take back my little O.K.
If you take one good look at pretty Mrs. Norman Browne you will never be able to blame her husband (a Census Bureau employee) if he should ever happen to cause a collision when he's hurriedly heading for home.
There were dozens of shiny black, curls at the back of her shapely head; there were trim silver shippers on her feet; and from her slender neck to her tiny toes there were yards and yards of ice blue taffeta. It fell in folds round and about small Mrs. Self, of 1601 Fifthteen Street, Northwest, and transformed that smiling 'ady into one of the pretty pictures that featured a pageant the other Friday night.
...
Mrs. F. Watson (1408 Hopkins Street) looking happy enough as she walked out U Street smartly clad in a green knit jacket dress. To a close observer, though, there was clearly evident a hint of anxiety in the lady's face. And it was there because Mrs. Watson knows that in Philadelphia, where her son-in-law and daughter live (Dr. and Mrs. Lancess McKnight), small Junior is getting ready to learn to say "Sister," or maybe "Brother." And (this is what's bothering Mrs. Watson) on the cute bootees and jackets and dresses she's making, she doesn't know whether to sow a blue ribbon bow, or trim the bings in pink.
Speaking of new-comers to the country a little Estill has already arrived. He's sweetly sleeping the hours away at Carson's Hospital (when he isn't blinking at his mother), Mrs. Christine Smith Estill (wife of Dr. Don Estill, of South Boston, Va.). Mrs. Estill is well-known in Washington where
she worked as a clerk at Howard University (Dr. Emmett Scott's office). And of course, everybody knows Dr. Don.
Maybe some people might worry over a letter from the Boss saying 'your services will not be needed after, etc,' but not lovely Mary Henry Jenkins, of Deanwood. Mrs. Jenkins received just such a message the other day and she's really happy about it. For it means that as soon as she can pack her bags she'll be rushing to her husband in Scranton, Pa.
There was a saucy tilt to Mrs. William H. Hastie's smart brown hat the other night. It must have been because of the added joy she's been because of the added joy she's found in her big home on the hill
Talk about loyalty one's country look what. Doris did for her town. (Miss Doris Nichols, daughter of Fairmount Heights' new mayor). She got together some children and taught them pretty dances like the tap, ballet, and tango. (Even made some numbers up herself). And last Friday night she presented her dancers in recital, and patrons from far and near crowded the Fairmount Heights Elks' Home to see Elizabeth Lewis, Isadora Coles, Doris Anderson, Rita Goodrich, Laura Brooks, Mary James Alberta Gaines, Gertrude Mayor, Ruby Nickens, Lucille Glens and Rose Mae Randolph do their fancy dancing.
Gertrude Major (impersonating a boy) and Alberta Gaines almost stopped the show with their tango. As a special feature Mr. Aviator Snow did a tap dance. (No, he didn't dance in an airplane). Artistic costumes (some of gay-colored cambric others of fluffy white tarletan) added a lot to the program. And now, not only is the city richer by so many dollars and cents but when "Leander's Cavaliers" struck up some popular airs after the program was over, everybody had a chance to dance (even the Mayor). And then, if after all that entertainment, some poor soul still felt that he was missing something, he could have taken one look at Miss Doris Nichols in that blush pink evening gown, blue velvet trimmed, (silver-slipper shod, gleaming rhinestones in her hair, her ears and on her arms) and gone home satisfied.
Mrs. Essie L. Witners and Mrs. Lula McClain both left Camdem. South Carolina this summer and took Eastern trips. Mrs. Withers went to Massachusetts and Mrs. McClain went to New York. They knew that Washington was the nicest place they could strike on their return trip to Camden. So they came here and stayed at the Theodore Gordons' of Rhode Island Avenue. (Stayed is really the right word to use) for nobody ever wants to leave the Gordon's, so pleasant do they make things.
Mr. Charles Houston was in town last Monday looking as if it's the custom in gay New York to eat four "squares" a day.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert G. McGuire, of Ninth Street, theatre-bound to see "China Seas." Mrs. McGuire very smart in a brown, fur-timmed affair and with the nicest kind of a smile to help the outfit along.
That was a big blow New York City struck the other day. And how both Washington and Baltimore did feel it! The New York City School system added to its ranks Mrs. Elsie Taylor Jefferson (wife of Mr. George Jefferson, Washington attorney) and formerly a Baltimore teacher. And if you'll only take time to listen (you won't have to strain your ears either) you'll hear the wall of Elsie's many friends as they indignantly cry "it's a shame she wouldn't remain among us."

How quiet and uneventful the days have been lately. Methinks we are in for a very busy fall and winter season however, for such generally follows a seire of peacefulness as has existed for the past couple of weeks. There have been, of course, a few private get-to-together parties which have enlivened things. Rumors has it that the Brown Bomber, Joe Louis and his bride will be guests in our city very soon—to be more explicit they are expected after the completion of the world series baseball game. Naturally the capital' city folks will show them their eastern hospitality in many yawns. We also understand that Joe's sister is here in the city attending Howard University which will probably be another link in the chain which will bind Joe closer to the hearts of the people here.
Last week: the some of Mrs. Gladys Green was practically turned into a milliner's shop with customers waiting in line; with phone calls coming in every few seconds and satisfied patrons leaving each hour. Quite a combination I must say, but quite true at that. This hurry and scurry was due to the presence of Mrs. Louise Robbins, of New York City, expert in making and remodelling hats. Mrs. Robbins with a clean, a press, a twist, a curve and a few stitches turned out Parisian creations while you waited. Those who were served by this wonderful artist were most pleased. Two hats were designed alike.
The Thespian Study Club begins its year of work with a most agreeable surprise. The Little Playhouse Group of Philadelphia is being presented by the club in a three-act comedy entitled "March ares," Saturday, November 2, in the auditorium of the Armstrong High School. Plans are well on the way for this production. The Little Playhouse Group of Philadelphia is a recently organized body dedicated to the work and love of the theatre. Their work is to study and when desirable to produce plays dealing with the great variety of conflicts in human society. Thy presented "March Hares," directed by Mr. Joseph Hill, before a large assembly in Philadelphia recently and critics were most encouraging in their comments, praising the work of these artists in no small terms.
The following committees were formed to perfect arrangements for this production: Lillian E. Tanner, general business manager; Lucy Wilson, Stella Skinker and Lottie Gordon, Dorothy DeLeon, Edna Owens and Ethel Murray, tickets; Vivian Turner, Florence Snowden, Portia Ferguson, Anna Goodwin, Etta Johnson and Louise Lovett, publicity; Mamie L. Williams, Bernice Edwards, Francis Carvin and Mrs. G. C.

Winter has come and with it comes warm woolen clothing. As you know, odors get into wool very easily and ruins a garment at once. To prevent this just keep the armpits sweet by washing them in hot water and then apply a solution of strong soda water,
FOR THICK LIPS
If your lips are thick try the following lotion to draw them and make them thinner: One gram of pulverized tannin, one gram of alkanet root, melt in one ounce of cold cream. Let stand five hours, and rub into lips when cold. This is an astringent and will reduce the lips.

There's no question about the future success of the Mills Brothers anywhere in the world from now on, a recent edition of the staid, ultra-conservative and world-famous Manchester "Guardian," in Manchester, England, unreceivably endorsed them.
"The questions at once arise whether 'lazz' is music, whether 'scat-
ing' is a legitimate noise, and whether the vocal reproduction of in-
strumental sounds is a worthy object of virtuosity," says the Guardian. "There are people to whom all three are an abomination; and they will not like these four coloured men who are famous for an art, or a technique, which unites all three. Nevertheless, few people are likely to deny that the kind of music (using the word for convenience, and not to arouse controversy) which had its tumultuously acclaimed sing in the Palace programme last night is an important modern development; or that the Mills Brothers are remarkably skilled and in-
genious exponents of it..." *
Josephine Baker writes to this country saying she will soon complete a French motion picture, "Princess Tomtom," but that she will still be among those present when the cast of the "Folies Bergers" takes its annual bow this fall in Paris ... Miss Baker's popularity in the French capital is still in-
creasing... If that's possible—Hardwick (K.C. Call).
Those of us who have been crying the decline and predicting the end of Duke Ellington's musical works for the past number of years will probably be surprised at these two quotations in the excellent book on music, "Music Ho," written in England by the eminent critic, Constant Lambert.
"He (Ellington)" says Lambert, "has crystallized the popular music of our time and set up a standard by which we may judge not only other jazz composers but also those highbrow composers, whether American or European who indulge in what is roughly known as 'symphonic jazz.'"
"... I know of nothing in Ravel so dextrous in treatment as the varied solos in the middle of the euilulent "Hot and Bothered" and nothing in Stravinsky more dynamic than the final section. The combination of themes at this moment is one of the most ingenious pieces of writing in modern music."
Reginald Foresythe is a Negro. He is a Londoner by birth and is widely traveled. He is a pianist and composer whose "new style" experiments in jazz music have created a sensation on the continent and this country... "Chasing Divorcee" and "Serenade to a Wealthy Widow" are two of his latest. He has been running a band at the small but ritzy Four Hundred club in Leicester Square, London, composed of well known British musicians.
Clyde Barrie, young CBS baritone, will be heard in a program featuring Indian love lyrics, lieder and a spiritual in his broadcast over the WABC-Columbia network on Saturday, from 10:15 to 10:30 and he will sing two love lyrics by Amy Woodforde Finden, "Less Than the Dust" and "Till I Wake." Barrie will then offer Robert Franz "Es Hat the Rose Sich Beklart," followed by the famous spiritual, "Swing Low, Sweet Charist." He will conclude with "Minor and Major" by Gilbert Spross. Sidney Raphael will be the piano accompanist.

USE HAM AS ATTRACTION FOR BUFFET SUPPER
BY GERTRUDE C. FRAZIER
An invitation to a buffet supper will be greeted with delight. All our good friends will be present and the young people will welcome the gay informality which goes with this type of party.
A baked ham, a half ham or a whole one, lends itself to "dressing up" and goes with all the lovely men, silver and china which you will use to make the buffet table attractive for a baked ham is a thing of beauty.
It is probably less trouble to prepare, too, than any main dish you could select. Practically all you need to do is to put it in the oven at 200 degrees F. (a moderate oven) and let it cook until it is nearly done; then it is decorated according to taste and put back in the oven to brown.

The hors d'oeuvres offer all kinds of possibilities to concoct a lovely platter which may be placed at one end of the table to balance the ham platter at the other end, where an expert carver presides to serve the delicate pink slices to each guest.
One hot dish is always acceptable and au gratin potatoes offer a good choice, because they will stay good and hot in a casserole. Perhaps you will need two casseroles. Spaghetti may be used instead of potatoes for the hot dish, and, if you like, you may serve a hot vegetable also. New peas are a nice accompaniment for ham and the tender peas are always a real treat.
Standard Method of Baking Ham
Place a well-scrubbed ham in an uncovered pan with the fat side up. Cook until done or until the meat thermometer registers 160 degrees F. Allow 25 minutes per pound for 10-12 pounds ham. 30 minutes per pound for half hams. 20 minutes per pound for large hams. About 45 minutes before the ham is done, remove it from the oven and carefully take off the rind leaving a "collar" around the shank end. Mark fat into squares with a sharp knife. This ham is
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 12, 1935
now ready for the final decorative touch and it is here that the hostess may rise to heights of culinary glory.
Suggestions for Decorating Ham
After the ham fat has been scored carefully into squares or diamonds, outline the squares with finely cropped maraschino rherries. Place a slice of pineapple in the center with four of the cherries put equidistant at the outer edge of the pineapple slice. Put back into the oven for a few minutes.
Rub ham with very fine bread crumbs. Pour over entire ham a mixture of 1 cup warm honey mixed with 1 cup chopped maraschino cherries. Return to a moderate oven and bake until ham is done and the crust is lightly browned.
Stick cloves into the center of each square, put on a paste of moistened brown sugar and dry mustard. Lift the collar a little and place ralf slices of lemon just under the edge, or they may be held in place with toothpicks. Place a slice of olive in the center of each piece of lemon.
Sections of orange may be arranged in a flower form in the center of the ham. This is very appropriate decoration for the fall season, because it will tie in with the centerpiece which will probably be of autumn leaves.
The ice cream may be had in individual molds selected to suit the occasion. These are easy to serve and may be brought to the table on one large platter after the main part of the meal is cleared away. With the coffee urns bubbling and plates of little cakes to accompany the ice cream, the buffet supper becomes a happy memory of a happy occasion.
Arden's Recipe
Want something delicious? It's tomato aspe with anchovies.
Heat two cups of canned Tomato juice. Add one tablespoon of sugar and one teaspoon of salt. Add juice of one lemon and a dash of tobacco sauce. Add one and one half tablespoonfuls of Gelatin which has been soaked in cold water. Dissolve all and strain. Pour into moulds. When ready to serve, unmould and place on cold lettuce. If the Anchovies are to used (you really don't have to use them) select curled kind. Pour your moulds half full of the salad mixture and let it set, then add the Anchovies, cover with more salad mixture and chill in refrigerator. Serve with a mound of yellow mayonnaise on top.
It makes a delectable dish!
Yellow Sugar Hard Sauce
½ cup butter
1 cup yellow sugar
3 tablespoons cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream the butter and yellow sugar together very thoroughly. Add the cream gradually, beating well. Flavor with the vanilla and heap on a serving dish. Chill before serving.
Lazy Daisy Cake Topping
% cup yellow sugar
% cup yellow sugar
% lb. shredded cocoanut
% tablespoons evaporated milk.
Mix until soft. Spread on baked cake and put under, but not too near, broiler flame for a couple of minutes. This recipe yields delicious topping for 8-inch square plain cake.
Aside to tall women...don't be conscious of your height. Tall women should always dare to be pictorial. That is your special forte. Don't try to make yourself look shorter by slouching. Don't rebel at high heels. Wear them!
Stage Cotton Pickers Strike in Heart of South
MEMPHIS, (ANP) — The idea of a strike on the part of the lowly cotton pickers of Arkansas sounds fantastic but that is what is reported in progress in Mississippi County, Ark., the very heart of the cotton country of this section. The Southern Tenant Farmers' Union is promoting the strike, based on a demand for $1.00 per hundred pounds for the picking of cotton. The price being offered is from 30 cents to 60 cents per hundred. According to the Tenant Farmers Union whose headquarters are at 2537 Broad Avenue, Memphis, several thousand workers have "answered the call for a strike." Four white people, members of the union, were arrested near Blytheville, Arkansas and taken to jail. They are Mr. and Mrs. Lee Moskop, George Andrews and J. A. West. They are held under a charge of "inciting labor."

Dr. C. H. Wesley to Address D.C Council of Social Workers
TEXAS K. P.'S VA. TEACHERS TO PROSPER HOLD CONFERENCE
EIGHT
William G. Opey Elected President to Succeed Major Johnson
The first monthly meeting of the Washington Council of Social Workers will convene at a luncheon Wednesday noon, October 19, at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. The program committee has announced as its speaker for the first of the series of meetings Dr. Charles H. Wesley, of Howard University. The council was organized in 1920, and has had for its purpose to unite in one body the paid social workers of the District of Columbia. For more than ten years, Major Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. was its president.
Under Major Johnson's leadership, the council asked for and secured two additional playgrounds for colored children, additional swimming pools, appointment of a colored person on the Public Welfare Commission, a social worker at Freedman's Hospital, representation on the Community Chest movement, completion of Banneker Center and placement of colored workers there; colored workers in the Juvenile Court and Juvenile Protective Association, and representation on Alley Housing Committee.
William G. Opey, Division of Child Welfare, Board of Public Welfare, was elected in June to succeed Major Johnson, who resigned as president. Mr Opey was chairman of the committee which planned and managed the successful Tri-state Conference of nearly 300 social workers from the District, Virginia, and Maryland, which was held in May. He has
DALLAS, Texas—Celebrating its fifteenth anniversary, the Knights of Pythias reported as follows:
As evidence of the reliability and stability of the organization it is only necessary to look into its record.
Since organization it has paid over $7,000,000 in death claims, Claims paid in 1934 amounted to more than $107,000. Gross assets as of December 31, 1934, $707,542.
The Knights of Pythias deserves special mention and commendation by reason of the fact that it has made loans to its members, churches and schools amounting to more than half a million dollars. These loans were not made for the purpose of advertising the institution, but were made because of the financial burdens of the race and its institutions. These institutions and individuals can now boast of having their property in their own right and name, which could not have been had not the Knights of Pythias come to their rescue. On the corner of Elm and Good Streets, here in Dallas, stands the Pythian Temple, a monument to the industrious and energetic Negroes of this town. For twenty-five years this building has been the center of activity among our people. The home office of the order is housed in this building.
T. B. Expert Says District Should Be Good Example
Evidence that the eyes of public health authorities throughout the country are focused upon the District of Columbia's program of tuberculosis eradication, now being organized and to be financed by a WPA grant of $90,093 is contained in a letter received from Dr. Kendall Emerson, managing director of the National Tuberculosis Association, New York City, by Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, managing director of the District Tuberculosis Association.
"The District of Columbia is to be congratulated on its projected tuberculosis survey. Under the direction of Commissioner Ruhland there can be no doubt of the resulting benefit to the health of Washington.
"The National Tuberculosis Association has long felt that the capital city of our country should be a demonstration center of effective public health work and a model for other cities. Such activities as the tuberculosis survey are the surest way to bring about this desirable objective."

GEORGETOWN, B. G.—Amid scenes of wild enthusiasm and sympathy for Ethiopia, the British Guiana Negro Association has sent through the local government a message to King George, of England, asking permission to organize a Negro regiment here and rush to the defense of Ethiopia, it was announced today.
About 150,000 British Guiana Negroes have been exhibiting strong sympathy for Ethiopia, causing scenes reminiscent of the World War as they gather around the cable offices by the thousands and cheer dispatches crediting victories to the Ethiopian troops.
Meanwhile, the government is alarmed at periodical revolts of East Indian indentured laborers on the sugar plantations and has dispatched armed guards and mounted police to quell the outbreak.
The newest uprising occurred when a group of laborers, protesting against their wages, threatened to attack their manager and overseers at one of the plantations.

Says Italian Masses, Despite Public Acclaim, Are Afraid of War
LONDON, (ANP) — Ordinary Italian citizens have no stomach for the war at all and in private conversations are very different from their mass shouting and synthetic public enthusiasm, according to a London Star, columnist who talked with a friend recently returned from walking tours there.
The plain people are sea. d of war and in private convers sations who not deny it, the article says. Italians are not allowed to have the slightest inkling of the way in which world opinion is massed against Mussolini's war. They are told a wicked world is trying to keep Italy from her natural expansion and rights.
The view is also expressed that the coming clash will be a one-man war in that II Duc is paying his penalty for his system. The Italian people and their leader are considered as one in their ignorance of the real situation.

Denies Whites Fired on Negro Cotton Pickers
NEW YORK. — Statements from Arkansas, published by daily newspapers to the effect that a group of white men "thought to be members of the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union, fired on Negroes working in fields," were branded as false by Norman Thomas.
Mr. Thomas declared that the news stories were part of a plot to split the interracial solidarity of the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union, which has never drawn the color line, has about fifty per cent Negro members, and which has colored and white officers.
The Southern Tenant Farmers' Union has called out its members on a strike. The union claims cotton pickers are now getting as low as 20 cents a hundred pounds. The strikers are asking $1.00 per hundred pounds.

D. C. Among 4 Cities Showing Increase in TB Death Rate
Although four cities with Negro populations of 100,000 or over showed increases, death rate through the nation among colored from tuberculosis continued to decline in 1934, although at not so rapid a rate as during the preceding year. This decline, despite economic conditions, was revealed in an exclusive report to the Associated Negro Press by Godias J. Drolet, statistician and acting director of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association.
The Drectel survey, which includes 42 largest cities and the known mortality of their residents both in town and in health resorts, reveals a death drop of 5 per cent in 1934 after 6 per cent drop in 1933. Negro population in these cities totaled 2,759,702. In 1934, 6,096, or 230.9 per hundred thousand, died. The 1933 survey showed 6,217 deaths at a rate of 232.9. In the 42 cities for 1934 Negro mortality was 27.9 per cent of the total of 21,833 among both races.

WILKINSON GETS BOMB THREAT Leader of Fight Against Cotton Club Receives Anonymous Call
Appearing before the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board last Monday morning at a continuation hearing of the controversies between the Cotton Club, located at Tenth and U Streets, ii. the Masonic Temple, and a committee of citizens, Frederick D. Wilkinson, registrar of Howard University and spokesman for the citizens' group startled the board when he disclosed that he had received a telephone call last Saturday night by "some man" who threatened to "bomb" his home.
Wilkinson, who has led a relentless fight in behalf of citizens who live in the neighborhood of the Cotton Club, to have the liquor license of the Cotton Club revoked, asked the privilege of making the statement for the purpose of record, and asked that the board's stenographer be permitted to include his statement in the record of the hearing.
Received Threats
When the request was granted, Wilkinson told the board of the threat received Saturday night, and of previous threats received prior to that date by persons who warned him to "lay off" the Cotton Club under threat of personal harm and damage to his home. Also last Saturday night, Wilkinson told the board two men came to his house, and told him that he or his home was harmed they would "break up the Cotton Club once and for all." Wilkinson told the board that he had reported both incidents to Captain James E. Bobo, of the Second Precinct, in whose district the Cotton Club is located. The ABC board at its Monday meeting heard new witnesses in the case instead of giving a decision which they declared was

He called the attention of the President to the high cost of living as it affects the poorer and middle classes, and suggested that many officials who are administering the New Deal program are paid excessive salaries. He pointed out that these officials ought to make some of the sacrifice necessary to make the administration's program a success.
President Roosevelt recently wrote to the ministers of the country, asking for suggestions on the social security legislation and ways and means of improving the program. Most local colored ministers took the President to task for discrimination and jim-crow in the ministering of relief.

UNION URGED TO SMASH COLOR BAR
Davis Cites Exclusion of Negro From A. F. of L. in Telegram
If the American Federation of Labor hopes to be of aid to workers in the present crisis it must smash the color line by positive action at its convention, now in session in Atlantic City, New Jersey, John P. Davis, executive secretary, Joint Committee on National Recovery, wired the executive council of that body Monday. Davis took a slap at the exclusion of Negroes from labor unions affiliated with the A. F. of L., and wired the executive council that phrase-mongering would not be considered positive action destined to put a halt to discrimination.
Has Jim Crow Proof
"Your sub-committee has ample evidence of this discrimination," Davis wired adding that "the momentous problems facing labor today demand that every barrier preventing scidarity of workers be broken down. The hundreds *of thousands who are anxious to join unions, who have a record of loyalty to organized labor, await this action." Copies of the telegram that was sent to the executive council of the A. F. of L. was sent by Davis to John Lewis, United Mine Workers of America; Sidney Hillman, Amalgamated Clothing Workers; David Dublinskv, International Ladies Garment Workers Union; Selma Borchardt. American Federation of Teachers, and John Ryan, president of the International Labor Association.
To Bring Color In Open
In sending copies of the Federation's telegram to those persons, who are in attendance of the A. F. of L convention, Davis urged them to bring the problem of Negro discrimination to the floor of the convention. This action was taken by Davis in the event members of the executive council attempt to sidetrack the question.

CLARKESDALE, Miss. — A Negro was seated last Saturday on a Mississippi county grand jury for the first time in the memory of living citizens.
He was H. C. Armstrong, an elderly school teacher, one of twenty residents of Coahoma County selected to consider for the second time the cases of two St. Louis Negroes, Fedro Pearson and Roosevelt Moon, charged with the robbery and slaying of James C. Parker, an aged merchant.
Three in Alabama
Decatur, Ala.—Three Negroes were sworn in on the Morgan County grand jury today in the same courtroom where, two years ago, attorneys for the nine defendants in the "Scottsboro case" introduced evidence to substantiate a claim of "systematic exclusion" of Negroes from juries in this county.
Judge A. A. Griffith, presiding, in qualifying the grand jury and in charging it to investigate all criminal cases brought before it by the circuit solicitor, made no comment on the presence of Negroes on the panel.
Spectators displayed only mild interest as the three Negroes took their seats—the first in the memory of the oldest courthouse employees.
They are Jim Sanford, of Decatur, former railway shop employee; Arthur Stewart and Glen Sharpley, both farmers.
