MITCHELL DENIES STATEMENT OF WAR
A denial that he had advised Negroes regarding their action in the Italian-Ethiopian situation was made by Representative Arthur W. Mitchell, of Illinois directly on his return to this city last week.
Congressman Mitchell, whose frequent statements have kept criticism pile about him since being elected, was reputed to have advised Negroes not to demonstrate against Italians in this country. Several white papers, including many in the South, immediately published editorials lauding the Mitchell stand.
The Negro Democrat said here that while he saw "the attitude of Italy as being a well planned and deliberate move to exploit what she regards as a weaker nation," he refrained from recommending any course of action to members of his race in this country.
Negroes, he added, should not be held responsible when they are attacked, as they were in recent cases. He referred to incidents in several cities where Negroes and Italians have become involved in demonstrations.

JEANS TEACHERS GUESTS AT
KENTUCKY STATE COLLAGE
FRANKFORT Ky. — Kentucky State College served as host, Monday and Tuesday, October 7 and 8 to the conference of Jeans Teachers of Kentucky.
Arguments on the opinion of Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman concerning the teaching and advocating of Communism in the District Public Schools took up most of the time of the regular meeting of the Board of Education in the Franklin Building last Wednesday afternoon. The report as adopted carried with it the meaning that communism could be taught, but not advocated. Following arguments presented by members of the legislative committee of the board, by a vote of slx to two, the minority report of th legislative committee, drawn up by Henry Gilligan, chairman of the committee was adopted.
Not Legal Advisor
Benjamin L. Gaskins and Harry I. Quinn presented the majority report, in which they argued that it was the intention of Congress that Communism should neither

OWNER GETS LETTER OF THREAT
Irate Residents. Seek. to Drive Family From Euclid Street
White residents of the 1700 block of Euclid Street, Northwest, threatened to blow up the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hayes, 1716 Euclid Street, with dynamite when a letter was delivered at their home Wednesday morning by the postman. Mr. and Mrs. George Clark live in the same house. Mr. Hayes is Mrs. Clark's brother. Mr. Clark is manager of the Lincoln Theatre and recently moved to his brother-in-law's home from the Howard Manor Apartments. The letter was mailed in the city and contained the following message on a thin sheet of letter paper:
"I am warning you that you had better vacate premises, 1716 Euclid Street, in the next 30 days. If you do not you are going to receive a package of dynamite in the mall or dropped on your roof. Copy to Mr. Clardy, former owner." "Taxpayer on Euclid Street." Is Theatre Manager The Mr. Clardy mentioned in the letter is a white man who formerly lived in the house and sold it to the Hayeses. There in one other colored family living in the block, at 1708. They have been in the house since April and never had any trouble.
On one side is an Italian family, Mrs. Clark said that a "real nice family" lived on the other side, Mrs. Clark seemed worried, but her husband stated that they would stick it out and defy the letter writer and others who wished to force the two families to move. He jokingly referred to the incident as the "Ethiopian-Italie" war. The letter will be turned over to postal authorities or to police. Headquarters. There is a heavy penalty for sending threatening letters through the mails.
In Home Two Weeks
The two threatened colored families have been living in the house for about two weeks. White residents for some time have been fighting the attempt of colored persons from living across Sixteenth Street on Euclid, Fairmont and Girard Streets.
Despite clauses in deeds and legal means and threats, Negroes have gradually been moving into the so-called "white neighborhood." The letter was neatly typed and was in all caps. It was addressed to "The Owner."

he taught, or advocated, and further asserted that the Corporation Counsel was not the law enforcing officer of the Board of Education. Gaskins called attention to the fact that opinions coming to the School Board by the Corporation Counsel must pass through the District Commissioners. "We find no provision of the law making the corporation counsel, counsel for this board as he is for the Public Utilities Commission, for which services he receives extra compensation." The majority report disagreed with the corporation counsel's statement that "advocacy and not information is the objective of the statutory mandate." If that had been so, the report contained, it would have been easy to omit the word "teach."

Mrs. Bessie R. Taylor, president of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of the Third Baptist Church, was among those who had a part in the thirty-fifth International Christian Endeavor convention echo meeting of the First Baptist (Georgetown) C.E. Societies on Sunday evening.
The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of the Shiloh Baptist Church is one of the outstanding Christian Endeavor Societies in the Golden Rule C.E. Union. By unanimous consent—simplified—by public demand, it is with pleasure that your columnist presents to you the members of the executive committee of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of the Shiloh Baptist Church. They are: the Rev. Earl L. Harrison, pastor and chairman of the advisory council; Miss Wilhelmina Johnson, president; Anthony Smith, vice-president; Miss Sarah R. Whetts, secretary; Miss India Johnson, assistant secretary; Mrs Beatrice Fieming, treasurer; Miss Bertie Lewis, pianist; Mrs Coretta Dlaney, christier; Mrs. Lewis, assistant-christier; Mrs. Maude Jones, publicity chairman; Mrs. Eva Preston, music committee chairman; Mrs. Rebecca Taylor, intermediate superintendent; Reginald Green, junior superintendent; Miss Grace Coleman, corresponding secretary; Miss Betty Spencer, pastor's aid chairman; Miss Helen Levy, Sunday School chairman; Deacon Miles, evangelistic chairman; Timothy H. Ward, prayer meeting chairman; Miss Agnes Johnson, missionary superintendent; Mrs. Francis Reed, lookout committee chairman; Frank Reed, chairman of committee on finance; Mrs. Mary Styles, flower committee chairman; James R. Moss, chairman of committee on information; Mrs. Eva Gibson, social committee chairman; Miss Marion Jackson, good literature superintendent, and David E.

Several big opportunities are before Christian Endeavor Societies in the next few weeks. First, there are two missionary tones, with much challenge to increase knowledge and activity. City missionary work never needed the help of young people's groups more than now, with so many unemployed in need and discouraged. Second, the Christmas season calls for service. A plan for caroling, a thorough visitation of hospitals, Stodhard Baptist Home and other institutions, with the good cheer of Christmas and a practical sharing with the needy of Washington, should be worked on NOW rather than in mid-December.

CHURCHES
The Lion Of Judah
The Lion of Judah roars again
Because of a foreign foe,
Whose greed for conquest, and
thrust
For blood, has robbed them
Of all moral senses.
With every modern device
For wholesale murder,
They invade a people unequipped,
But they have that moral courage
And love for homeland and liberty
That cannot be quenched
By shot and shell.
And shall the invader pass?
Of so, not on dry soil,
But on land that is drenched
With the blood of heroes-brave,
And like the blood of righteous
Abel
Shall speak to them from the
earth.

SHAW
On Thursday morning at the 9th grade assembly, Mrs. Dovie G. Brooks, of the Washington Tribune, introduced to the pupils Shaw, A. A. Rogers, international news correspondent, author and traveler. In a very graphic manner, Mr. Rogers pictured the Ethiopian situation, giving in clear detail such features as location of the territory, appearance, habits and customs of the people of Ethiopia. His personal experiences yielded a wealth of understanding of the factors underlying the present state of war, and he explained the political and racial involvements in such a splendid manner that everyone felt that further reading and study on the subject would be greatly facilitated and enriched. He extolled the bravery and patriotism of these people, whose very life is bound up with the Nile, and he expressed the opinion that the destinies of the dark peoples are being fought out upon the battlefield today. He further explained the position and attitude of the various world powers, thus giving a true picture of the state of international affairs.

Looking ’em Over
by SAM LACY
With the Tribune
A Letter Received Last Thursday
Los Angeles, Calif,
October 4, 1935
Washington, D. C.
“Dear Mr. Lacy: r
“Some one sent Bill Robinson a clipping that was sign-
ed by you from the Washington D. C. Tribune, taking Mr.
Robinson to task regarding Joe Louis, during the Elks’
convention in Washington recently, which Mr. Robinson
promptly threw in the waste basket as so much trash.
“But 1 took it out, and after reading it, I've wondered
just what caused you to write such an article. It seems
to me there's a little personal feeling with you hiding be-
hind a few Judas words of praise occasionally, however, I
don’t think you really know Mr. Robinson any more than
you perhaps know Joe Louis, that is, only what you read
of them, which has always been something worth while or,
perhaps you are being the nice little ‘Goat’ to have signed
this article for some one who is not man or woman enough
to do so themselves.
“If you personally knew Mr. Robinson then you would
know that he is not in the habit of just ‘Putting’ himself
on anyone, and as for him secking publicity. by being in
Joe Louis’ company is the least of his thoughts, as he was
receiving respected recognition and publicity of the highest
type from the colored and white press, not only in America,
but Europe as well before Joe Louis was born, and not all
from the theatrical field,—his charitable .deeds, athletic
ability, as well as other things that merit it.
“When you speak of Mr. Robinson as the ‘burnt-cork’
type you perhaps don’t know that Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor,
John Mason, Eddie Hunter, Swan and Lee and a number of
other burnt-cork types are very much respected and loved
by the public, so you see Mr. Robinson would consider this
an honor to be included with such artists. According to
your article Mr. Robinson should not go near Joe Louis,
seemingly because he happens to be in show business, and
if he didn’t, perhaps you would be the first one to say,
‘why is Bill Robinson high hat with Joe Louis?”
“After all, Bill has just as much right to admire Louis,
as you or anyone else. There were others in the party
that are just as prominent in their field as Joe is in his,
so why think Bill would degrade Joe any more than he
world Jesse Owens or others just because he consented to
do a few dance steps in front of Dr. Goodloe’s residence
for the hundreds of kids who had gathered there and asked
him todo so. Tam very sorry that it was you only who was
so offended with Bill trying to make a few children happy.
Am still wondering what is the real reason of your article.
“One line you made a feeble attempt to praise, and the
next you would berate him. Bill would never consent to
answer such as you. But, T am taking this on myself, as
T happen to be his wife, and knowing my husband as I’ do,
without ego, I'm simply trying to enlighten you on a few
things. When or if you get to know him, you'll find that
he is a real man, and not a yellow, deceitful cheat, and he
doesn’t have the time to be jealous of any one or anything
they may do.
“Somehow, I feel that you should be pitied instead
of being censured, so, if you don’t mind, Bill still admires
Mr. Louis with the rest of the world, as the greatest fighter
of all times, and a gentleman, and so long as he (Joe) or
his managers, (whom Mr. Robinson has known for years,
one of them before Joe was born) are not afraid of Bill
dragging Joe in the gutter. with his presence, ete.” I think
the right thing for you to do is try writing about something
that is worth while, or truthfully exvlain your real reason
for such silly trash in so much valuable space.
“ “You, or whoever you signed this article for, should be
careful of how you throw stones. T suppose you know
the rest of this sentence.”
Tam, most sincerely,
(Sirned) (Mrs.) Rill Robinson.

St. Louis Gets Title Go Between Light-Heavies; Crowd Anticipated
ST. LOUIS—Contracts for the Bob Olin—John Henry Lewis, light-heavyweight championship fight which is to be held at the arena, October 31, on file in the office of Commissioner Ernest F. Oakley, show that Olin is to receive a guarantee of $15,000 for defending his title in the bout which is scheduled for 15 rounds.
The winner of the bout here will be recognized as the world's light-heavyweight champion by the Missouri Athletic commission. Garrett L. Smalley, chairman, said Saturday, following the signing of the articles by the fighters' managers.
Since the Missouri body has joined with New York and Illinois in a working agreement, it appears that such recognition will be general.
Olin has been under fire in New York because he was unable to defend his championship there last June as he had been ordered to do. When the New York commission learned of the facts, however, they excused him.
Lewis has been regarded as the No. 1 challenger since he defeated Olin in a non-title bout on the Pacific coast last June.
Record Impressive
The champion has been boxing professionally for about six years. He is 27 years old. Olin won the title from Max Rosenbloom last year but before that time his career in the ring had run a varied course. Out of 61 contests he has lost 13.
Lewis, who is 21, began boxing under his father's instruction at Phoenix, Arizona. Out of 45 bouts he has won about half of them by the kayo route. It was a victory over Lewis that gave Braddock his chance at Max Baer for the heavyweight crown last June.
Louis Purchases Chicago Apartment Building
CHICAGO. (ANP) — Joe Louis Barrow "next world's heavyweight champion," this week presented his bride, the former Miss Marva Trotter of Chicago, a six-apartment building, according to records in the office of County Recorder Edward J. Kaindl$^2$ The purchase was made from Nathan K. McGill, former general manager of The Chicago Defender. The building is located at 4320-22 Michigan Ave. The reported price was $12,500, according to revenue stamps attached to the deed filed for record. Louis bought the property four days after he whipped Max Baer in New York.

Many a world's series game in this country has attracted not over half that number. Baseball crowds in Japan are large the Rev. Mr. Shaver explains, because the population is so dense.

IOWA CITY, Iowa.—Continuing the pace he has set for any and all All-America aspirants, Oze Simmons, dark lightning of the Big Ten Conference, last Saturday, thrilled 35,000 people here as he winged his way to two touchdowns and turned beck, singlehandedly, the strong and highly-regarded Colgate football team. Iowa gained the decision over the Easterners. The score was 12-6. Victory came to the Western Conference only after it had overcome an early 6-0 lead of the invaders
Raiders Take Lead
Using the famous Andy Keen passing attack to advantage, the Red Raiders jumped into the van within the first few minutes of the game.
On the first two plays from scrimmage Eugene Kern, Colgate half back, faded back and whipped long tosses to Richard Offenhamer and he charged over the goal line unmolested.
But from that point on the fast-charging Iowa linemen kept the Colgate sleight-of-hand efforts from working. Each attempt to pass, whether lateral or forward, was smothered by some one of the westerners' forward wall.
Simmons Gets Started
It was not until near the end of the half that Simmons got an opportunity to exhibit his shifty footwork. Taking a lateral pass from Lamb on the Iowa 49-yard line, Simmons dodged through half the Colgate defense and outran the Raider safety man to score. The second Iowa touchdown came in the third quarter. Iowa took the ball in midfield, after a hurried Colgate pass touched an ineligible receiver.
Scores Again
The Hawkeyes drove to the Colgate 23-yard line in two first downs. Simmons was given the ball and, after shaking off one tackler sidestepped and pivoted to the Colgate 13-yard line. Bolin in two plays smashed through to the six-inch line and on the third lost half a yard. Then Simmons climaxed an afternoon in which he had done more line plunging than open field running by driving across the goal.
TROUPE STARS AS MORGAN DEFEATS UNION, 13-0
Bear Fullback is Constant Threat with Long-range Punting and Running
RICHMOND, Va.—The Morgan
Bears, C.I.A.A. Champions for the
past three years, outplayed a vail-
ant Union eleven to win 13-0 in a
hard fought game in which the
Bears, when not in possession of
the ball, kept the Panthers backed
up too deep to make anything that
even looked like a threat, here last
Saturday afternoon.
Displaying a fine offensive, fea-
tured by frequent long gains by
Otis Troupe, All-C.I.A.A. quarter-
back last year, and Bill Simpson,
Morgan's high-stepping halfback,
the Bears piled up ten first downs
while the line held Union to only
two.
Troupe Constant Threat
The brilliant hunting of Troupe always forced the Panthers back to the goal line, never giving the latter any chance whatsoever to get started. So great was the pressure applied that Union was never able to obtain possession of the ball in Morgan territory.
Although the Bears scored their second touchdown in the last quarter, Union was a definitely improved team after the first half, holding the Bear to only two first downs while making the same number. The only first downs for the Red and Steel during the game, however, saw fumbles and intercepted passes eliminating any possibility of getting under way.
EX-CATCHER RECOVERS
Claude H. Mial, former star professional catcher and well known in diamond circles, is nearly fully recovered from a broken leg which kept him confined in a hospital for 7 months.

'JACKETS TRIUMPH OVER NORTHEAST IN GRID TILT
Defending Champions Top East-End Outfit by Score of 26-0
The Washington Yellow Jackets opened their 1935 gridiron campaign in defense of their title by visiting the Northeast Athletic Club Sunday at 26th and Bennings. In spite of a clever passing attack, the Northeast team bowed, 26 to 0 before the vicious, swarming Yellow Jackets.
Taking the kickoff deep in its own territory the Jacket machine marched down the field to a touchdown, losing the ball momentarily, but finally scoring when Red Pine Armstrong, flashy Jacket back, slipped through right tackle for six yards to score untouched, "Dodo" Harrison annexed the extra point via guard.
Several replacements made in both teams did not alter the situation. The Jackets again plunged and slashed within scoring distance early in the second quarter and big Red Fields plunged over left tackle for the tally, the trial for extra point failing. Again in the second period a sustained drive and a long pass taken by Celie Dade put the Jackets on Northeast's 5-yard mark, from which place Chang Warren showed over to boost the score to 19-0 at the half.
Beginning the second half Northeast renewed its efforts to crack the Jacket forward wall, but the veterans, led by Captain Chase at end and a newcomer, Snipes, at tackle, smothered all attempts. A bombing attack was then unleashed and passes rained on the Jackets from all angles for substantial gains "Iron Man" Williams, slight Jacket center, put an end to the rally by intercepting one of the shots. Result: Another drive, another touchdown, another extra point, 26-0.

$60,000 Offer to Louis For Tony Galento Bout
NEWARK, N. J. — Promoters Victor J. Brown and Babe Culnan, white, stated early this week they had secured the signature of Tony Galento to papers calling for a meeting with Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber, at a local armory in January, with a $60,000 offer to Joe. Joe Jacobs, who manages Galento as well as Max Schmeling, is extremely anxious to have his boy meet Louis. Galento and Schmeling fighting the game's biggest drawing card in the same year would be a feather in the cap of Jacobs. John Roxborough and Julian Black, managers of Louis, have not as yet been collared.
HAMPTON SCORES OVER VIRGINIA STATE TROJANS
HAMPTON SCORES OVER VIRGINIA STATE TROJANS
Seasiders Paste Traditional Rivals to Tune of 20-6; Briscoe Stars
HAMPTON, Va.—A 46-yard run by Red Briscoe, former Armstrong High School all-round star athlete, was the only redeeming feature as Cochah Harry R. Jefferson's Virginia State College football team went down to a 20-6 defeat at the hands of Gil Smith's Hampton Institute Pirates, here Saturday.
The youngster, playing his first year of collegiate football, shined on a team which found ultimate defeat inevitable even from the first few minutes of the game. It was this run in the third quarter that placed the ball deep in Hampton territory and enabled the Petersburg lads to count their lone touchdown.
Dismond was the first to tally for the Seasiders. He carried the oval across the last white mark after a series of passes and line bucks had penetrated the State defense. A 40-yard run by Hopson netted the second Hampton score. The last touchdown by the winners came as a result of a successful pass to this same Hopson.
The Hampton eleven for the first time in years came out into the open. They put aside their old conservative playing for which they have been famous and used a new, more radical type of play.
Morehouse Breaks Jinx. Tops Benedict in First
ATLANTA. Ga.—Morehouse ran, passed and kicked its way to a 24-6 victory over Benedict College and put in its bid for recognition as a leader in the Southern Conference race in the opening game of the season here Saturday afternoon. At the same time, the Tigers broke the linx that has of recent years lost them the opening game, and ended a series of ties that has marked three of the last four games with Benedict. The game was played half in the daylight and half under the floodlights of Ponce de Leon field.
New York Black Hawks Bow
NEW YORK. (ANP)—The New York Black Hawks dropped their opening Sunday to Knickerbocker Giants of Albany by a score of 12-0. Fumbles at critical moments led to the scores.

Passing Attack in Late Minutes Snatches Game from Grasp of Visitors
Fighting with their backs to the wall. Coach Jack Young's Cardozo High School gridders played uphill football to gain a 6-6 tie with the National Training School tossers at Walker Stadium last Wednesday afternoon. The Bladensburg Road lads were first to draw blood. The game was only a few minutes old when by virtue of scintillating ball-carrying on the part of Offutt, quarterback, and Parker, left halfback, the Orange jersey issued out placed the ball on the Clerk 3-yard marker. From here Newman, big hard-hitting fullback, went over for the first tally. The try-for-point was blocked.
Clerks Wake Up
Playing on even terms throughout the remainder of the opening quarter and the second and third periods, the two teams entered the last quarter with the score standing at 6-0.
A forward passing attack, launched by the Purple and White in the waning minutes carried the ball deep into the aliens' territory, Flatney Marshall, shifty halfback, carried the oval across for the touchdown. A line play to annex the extra point failed.

PINE BLUFF, Ark—A game pack of Arkansas State Lions went down fighting before the powerful attack of Fred Long's Wiley College machine 28-6, here Saturday. The Texas Wildcats, using the famous Michigan shift, completely outplayed their opponents throughout the first half, but were held to a standstill during the last two sessions. Employing an almost irristible off-tackle power play that worked with equal success on either side of the line. Wiley penetrated the Arkansas defense constantly during the first period and had scored their first touchdown before the game was six minutes old.

Downie Gridders Score
Over Howard High
WILMINGTON, Del. — In its first start of the season Coach Hunt's Downington Industrial School eleven topped Howard High School 19-6, here Saturday. The Delawareans, outweighed and lacking experience, were game to the core and gave the visitors' coaches a fine chance to get a line on the weaknesses of their squad. The light Wilmington eleven relied almost solely on passes, completing 8 out of 16.
LeMoyne Eleven Tops Claflin by Score of 19-13
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Florida A. M. College Rattlers fell victim to the brilliant passing attack of the LeMoyne College eleven here in the most spectacular opening game witnessed in this section. Scoring in the first, second and fourth quarters they ran up a total of 19 points to the Florida gridders' 13 points in the third and fourth.
3 Straight for Hornets As They Trim Southern
SCOTLANDVILLE, La —Near the banks of the Mississippi River on a beautiful college campus gridiron, the Alabama State Teachers' College Hornets stung with a fury of revenge for a 12-0 defeat here last October as they drove their way to a decisive 20-14 victory over the vaunted Southern University Wildcats to make it three wins for the Hornets of 1955 in as many starts against Xavier, Clark and Southern on successive weekends.
Talladega Scared
TALLADEGA, Ala. (ANP)—What was cut out to be a "set up" for Talladega College, came near to being an "up set" here Saturday afternoon when a fighting and well coached eleven held the Tallademans to a score of 7-0, thereby winning one of those "moral victories."

Tigers Practice Under Arcs As Day for Clash with Ohioans Approaches
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.
—The Tuskegee football players returned to night practice this week in preparation for the annual gridiron classic with Wilberforce University which will be played at Soldier Field, Chicago, Saturday.
This is the first time that the Tigers have held night practice sessions since 1932. The giant lamps erected under the supervision of John L. Anderson, school electrician, flooded the playing field with so much "daylight" that spectators came from all points of the community and from the town of Tuskegee to see Coach Abbott put the Tigers through the paces in his effort to whip the team in shape for the gruelling game with Wave of Wilberforce.
The Wilberforce coaches are in agreement that the team this year is the best that has represented the university in more than a dozen years. The forecasters in the area of the Golden Tiger stronghold, although they fear Wilberforce, claim they know a good football team when they see it and that Tuskegee this year has that team.
Coach Abbott is doing what he can be prevent overconfidence.
A card similar to the one held last Saturday and which drew a season's record crowd out to the Maryland State Fair Grounds at Laurel has been announced for this coming Market-day.
Two stake events, each of which promises to attract the country's leading thoroughbreds in its respective division, will feature the usual 7-race program. The highly-regarded Selima Stakes and the Maryland Handicap should furnish competition of the highest order.
In the first number, 2-year-old fillies will parade to the post for the 1-mile test. The event, won by Nellie Flag last year, will probably see Mrs. Ethel V. Mars's Forever Yours the favorite. This nicely-bred miss was withdrawn from last Saturday's Belmont Futurity and pointed especially for the Maryland $10,000, added, affair.
A galaxy of stars from the 3-year-old ranks are expected to answer the bugler for the one-mile-and-a-quarter grind of the Maryland Handicap later in the day.
On the face of the thing, Jockey Clarence Reid's presence in the saddle of a horse in last Saturday's Maryland Futurity ($5,000, added, Laurel stake) was just another occasion in the eventful life of a race-rider. But to those who follow the Sport of Kings, it meant a lot more.
Negro boys seldom get a leg up in races for sizeable purses. Unless they have acquired a large number of followers among horsemen by reason of actual accomplishments, they are overlooked when it comes time for owners or trainers to name their jockeys. What was commonplace in the day of Ike Murphy and Billy Walker is today extraordinary.
Now it comes time for "Tout," author of this strip, to "blow his own horn" as the saying goes.
Last year, at just about this time, this writer begged local readers to pay some attention to a nag named Omaha. And if memory seves him right, I believe this game writer predicted that Firethorn would go farther than the then much-talked-of Commonwealth, stableates.
In that connection, let's look back a little during the current season and see what's in the writer's notebook:
News note from "At the Furlong Pole" for the week ending September 28:
"Although Matt Smart, veteran Negro trainer for the Breckenridge Long and Admiral Cary T. Grayson stables, tells us that he has nothing on his string 'to write home about.' we are, nevertheless, keeping our eyes on him and his charges. Smart was never one to express satisfaction, openly, on any of the horses over which he is paid to keep watch. We know that Legume, Stage Whisper and Happy Easter, the latter-owned by his wife, Mrs. Katharine Smart, can be counted on to make things lively for the opposition any time they are sent to the post."
In three starts since that appeared, Stage Whisper won twice, Legume, in the same number of races, was second once, and third once.

WILBERFORCE, Ohio, —Wilberforce University Bulldogs,

Coaches Corrothers and Lewis are whipping the Bulldogs into shape for two important games, Kentucky State at Wilberforce this Saturday, and for Tuskegee in Chicago on next Saturday.

column begged you readers to bear with Omaha in his poor early season races last year, he is making the first claim to advising you on the prospects of Speed to Spare. 2-year-old of the large Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt string
"This writer, always a keen student of blood-lines, was first attracted to the youngster when he did a Saratoga half-mile in 46 seconds in his last race up there. Looking up Speed to Spare, we learn he is a son of Balko, that splendid all-weight winner so familiar to Maryland race-goers a few years back. And Balko was a stallion by Omar Khayyam. How's that?
"That's not all. On the other side, Speed to Spare has a boast not the possession of all his fellows. His mother is The Spare, born a daughter of the neer forgotten John Grier. Not bad!"
Speed to Spare came out a few days after that article appeared to win a 6-furlong dash from a high-class field in preparation for the Maryland Futurity at Laurel Saturday. Then in that latter event, the Vanderbilt owned son of Balko spread-eagled a group of topnotchers, included among which were the Burch-handled Mad Mahdi, Branncastle 'Farms' The Hare, the Walden pair of Clever Girl and Lady's Beau, and others.
Speed to Spare was never headed in the $5,000 event, and trotted across the finish line with his head pulled sidewise by Jockey Leo Fallon, white.
Six colored boys are among the riders at the Laurel meeting. They are Clarence Reid, jockey, Ray Booker, Johnnie Brooks, Eddie Johnson, George Ford and Charlie Griggs, apprentices. Skeeter Holland, former rider, is on the grounds but not in the role of hardboot. Holland now trains his own horses. Among these are Pordina and High Musie.
ACAUTAW, the Doyle sprinter, is very good on Maryland tracks, and promises to give opponents a ROUGH PARTY as he coasts to IDLE VICTORY. He's always a GOOD GAMBLE for those enjoying SOBRIETY.

FETCHIT TAKES BOSTON; OFFERS GOOD BILL
BOSTON. Mass (ANP)—Not the least bit worried by his flareup and disagreement which cost him his job at the Fox film studios in Hollywood. Stephen Fitch put in his personal appearance here for the first time last week at the Boston Theatre, sharing ten billing with Noble Sissie and his orchestra.
Local critics were loud in their praise of the antics of "the world's laziest man." He continued a personal characterization of the tux of role which brought him success on the screen, even throwing in a few dance steps toward the end that tired him so much he had his usher take how for him.
In addition to Steen and Sissie who put on an entertaining show the entire ensemble included the Five Cabin Kids, Harris and Howell, and Henry "Rubberlegs" Williams.

"PORGY AND BESS; IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK (ANP)—Following a triumphant opening in Boston "Porgy and Bess," the Gershwin-Heyward operatic version of the latter's play, "Porgy," opened at the Alvin Theatre on Broadway Wednesday night. It has an all-Negro cast.
Todd Duncan, vocal instructor at Howard University in Washington now on leave of absence, nays the part of Porgy and Anne Wiggins Brown, noted singer and actress has the part of Bess. Following the premiere at the Colonial Theatre in Boston, Gershwin was called before the curtain and applauded for 15 minutes.
Boston critics, however, placed the acting and singing of the entire cast above either music or setting, calling it not so much opera as musical drama and stating that if the producers had provided a Negro orchestra, there would have been less disparity between drama and music in some instances. Besides the two principal's, others lauded particularly for their work included J. Rosamond Johnson, Abbie Mitchell and Eddie Matthews. Five members of the Boston ERA chorus were brought here with the production while half a dozen ERA musicians, employed in

Critics consider Paul Robeson one of the most versatile stars of the American theatre. He has established this reputation as a result of performances on the stage in Dubose Heyward's "Porgy" and Zeigfeld's "Show Boat," on the screen in the motion picture version of Eugene O'Neil's "Emme or Jones," in London in Shakespeare's "Othello," and on the concert stage. He has been heard frequently on the radio.

According to the yarn—and if you doubt it, forget it—Shelton was stranded one night in the first 10 years of 1900 at a Chicago saloon. He had imbibed beyond his means, and was squirring under the pressure put on by a glowering and beefy waiter.
At the next table, so the story goes, sat a Jew. Interested in the trouble, the stranger came over and offered to settle the bill in exchange for somethin', of value. Shelton had with him his recently written and unpublished "Some of These Days," which he was only too glad to surrender for his liberty. The song later made its owner a fortune.

Another phase of the U.S. Government's efforts to rid the nation of its arch criminals is shown $n$ for the first time in the Cosmopolitan production "Special Agent" which will be the attraction at the Lincoln Theatre for an entire week beginning Friday. "Special Agent" glorifies the T-Men, special agents of the Treasury Department whose chief work it is to investigate evasions of payment of income tax. These sleuths relentlessly follow the trail of gamblers, extortionists and racketeers of every sort, until they get their men and land them behind the bars of federal prisons.
In "Special Agent" the inner workings of these operatives are revealed. Bette Davis has the role of personal secretary to the ruthless head of a powerful band of racketeers played by Ricardo Cortez. She gets her job without realizing what it is, but after learning the secrets of the gang, she cannot step out, because she

In a picture that is easily the best she has had since the now immortal "It Happened One Night." Claudette Colbert returns to the Republic Theatre the week beginning Friday, in "She Married Her Boss."
This latest romance gives her every opportunity to display the charm that has so endeared her to the movie-going public. Headed by Melvyn Douglas and Michael Bartlett, Miss Colbert's two leading men, "She Married Her Boss" boasts also of the services of such sterling players as Raymond Walburn, Jean Dixon, Katherine Alexander, Edith Fellows, a child star who is as delightful a brat as has come this way in many a moon, and Clara Kimball Young, who comes out of retirement to do very well in a small part.
But, of coure, it's Miss Colbert all the way. Vivacious, intelligent, disarming in her frankness, she leaves no doubt in your mind that she is deserving of the highest honors the movies can bestow upon her. As a painfully efficient private secretary to the owner of a large department store, she gets into trouble when she is careless enough, as the title has told you, to fall in love and marry her boss. The boss—played by Melyvn Douglas—is a dyspeptic young man who has had an unsuccessful marriage; his life being made further unhappy by an unmanageable, spoiled nine-year-old daughter and an old-maidish, bitter sister who runs—and ruins his household. All this, Claudette inherits when she unsuspectingly says, "I do."
1. When a man spends his own earnings he is frugal, temperate, self-controlled. 2. When he gets and lives on other men's earnings, he is extravagant, wasteful, 'and always comes back for more. We'd like to have a little of that. No.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
Cartella Carrington seems to have taken a sudden interest in Wayman Brown since the latter lost out with the young lady down West. Alfred C. journeyed all the way from the wilds of Deanwood to swing with the girls in town. Lawrence Harris and Charles King were at odds over Irma Munday at the dance, Friday. Stanley Mangrum and May Young are very cool after their little rendezvous Saturday night. Who escorted C. Hailstork home Friday after the dance? Remarks overheard at the Masonic Temple: "I wish Pin head were here so he could take me to the bar-b-que after the dance." (She was none other than Harriet Caves.) Where was Keplon Fox? .Looks as if John B. s out in the cold again since G. Walker is jibing a piano player.
More Tips
Can't see why C. Green has to be kissing other girls at the Friday dances while his main standby, Lamanda, sits in a corner. Much too much...I See that Walter "Jakei" Roots is jibing Blanche Peyton again. Trying to get back his winter home again, I suspect. Wendolyn Walker and George Carroll were mighty thick at the truckin' dance. Old flames will kindle...Levi Corum seems to concentrate on a certain young lady since he learned to truck...Looks as though Richard T. is trying to get his home back with Martha Bershaw after a period of two years...I wonder why Joe is trying to put one over on the boys by announcing his prolonged engagement to Marie M of S Street? When is the wedlock going to be, Joe?
Rose "Happy" Morgan has fallen deeply in love with Charl's Thornton these days. What's wrong with Robert F.?...Since C. E. goes up on the hill, it is a wonder she will fool around with J.T. Which one is it. F. M. Hyson, Billy Reid or Henry Chambers?... I notice that C. Wood is laying his straight jibe to Geraldine Wood's standby so he can get back home again...Gladys M. of Tech was seen in the peanut gallery at the Gavevt the other day. What's up, girlie?...A certain young lady of Kingman Park seems to attract the attention of Gene's double, Wee Willie...Arthun Saunders, so called rigolo of Southwest, has put something over on at a certain young man since he met Audrey. Nuf sedl...Joshen Epps is swinging gaily with Elizabeth, too.

IN THE SHADOW OF THE STARS
By Abbe' Wallace
Youngest Mentalist ON THE AMERICAN STAGE
M. L. K.—I can't understand why my husband doesn't like for me to go out with him?
Ans.: Your husband always en-
to make ends meet until he can find something to do—you know he'll take care of you when he gets a job.
B. M. M.—is it true what I think about this woman?
Ans: Yes—it is very true. This woman you are living in the house with appears to be living with a man that is not her husband. If her conduct is too disturbing to you, then the best thing for you to do is move.
V. S.—Will I succeed in going to school any time soon?
Ans: It is my impression that you won't return to school. A little later on you'll realize that a business course will be more profitable to you since you are getting too old to go back to school.
B. G.—Will I get the money I am expecting?
Ans.: You are supposed to get this money you are expecting when you are twenty-one, providing you are not married. Your coming marriage this fall will kill your chances of possession of this money.
Z. L. S.—Must I tell my husband about what has happened in the past? I would like for you to tell me what is best.
Ans.: I advise you to tell your husband about your child, even though you will have to suffer the consequences., He'll think a lot more of you if you'll tell him rather than someone else, and you know that is something that won't keep forever.
L. A.—I want to know if my husband loves me and what would be the best thing for me to do?
or yourself in this line of work.
E. B.—Why can't me and my husband get along together?
Ans.: Because you expect too much from him. He doesn't appear to be working now and you could cooperate with him and try Ans.: Your husband doesn't have much love for you, for if he loved and respected you the way he should a wife, he'd give you more to eat and some of the necessities of life. Get out and go to work and save your money to go home—that is the place for you.

Rambling With the Stroller
Again ye ole scribes are busy preparing the low-down on what's happening about this durn town.... Since Leigh Tibbs has been appointed sergeant, his head has outgrown his top-hat. Probably a storm could shrink it some... Now that Charles Byrd has risen in rank as a cadet officer, B Simmons seems to be taking a sudden interest in him... Norman Perkins, a Tech halfback, has had his old Franklin repaired and expects the young co-eds to fall in line. George Thomas, Dunbar sophomore, is getting to be a tall fellow (he is about the size of Jeff) since Evelyn Wheeler jibes him.
The Scribes held a swinger at the Masonic Temple on Friday, but the downpour spoiled this colorful affair. Thomas Stone tried to truck with that head of his to the tune of "Truckin'" as played by that pleasant rhythmic, Booker Coleman, of Asbury Park, N.J. Talking about hailing from the Smoke Tavern, he had to call on one of the "gas-house" boys to truck Nuf sed!...Luke Walker had a ripping experience Thursday night at the Colonnade. He approached a fair damsel and said, "Pardon me, but haven't we met somewhere before?" She replied, "Most certainly not." To which the young man boldly asked, "Would it be a crime to have the next dance with you?" And her reply was, "Murder in the first degree!" Zoom!...Sam Bailey, the ace of Kingman Park, is too much for the local pimps. Having a flock of girls, he can afford to visit one at the others' expense. For instance, instead of staying on the campus with his flame, Grace J., he borrows her pass to go all the way down to Tech to see Helen L. Then, what did it mean to Thelmia W. when he walked in the Colonnade with the same Grace J. on Thursday? Will Helen Lankford ever get wise?...Miss Virgile Marshall, of Tech, was very popular among the wee set at the Masonic Temple, Saturday night. Give the older boys a break, Virgile!...H. Blue Brown has a new flame among the freshmen at Tech. Other than Viola B by name. What do you say, F. Hicks? Zoom!
Unpack your old dudes and costumes and dust 'em off, because the greatest spectacle of the year is in its making. Haven't you heard the news yet? Everyone knows about the annual Cinderella Ball which is to prove of interest among the younger set by that popular club, the Brigadiers. The event will be held on Halloween'en night. The title role of Cinderella will be portrayed by one of the most popular girls around town.
M. L. K.—I can't understand why my husband doesn't like for me to go out with him?
Ans.: Your husband always enjoys being in your company but he knows you had rather go with your crowd and let him go with his—he is trying to please you because he loves you.
W. E. F.—What will be my destiny? Will my way of living ever change?
Ans.: The years ahead of you will be more enjoyable than your past has been and you'll at least have enough money to have the necessities of life. Your way of living will change after you receive the old age pension.
A. F.—Can you tell me what I will be doing five years from now? Will I be happier than I am now? Ans.: It is my impression that five years from now you will be married, and you will also be living in another city—you'll be very happy and contented.
D. D. B.—Will I get a job that will pay good and when? Ans.: You'll be lucky in getting work during the month of November, although it won't be a very good paying one. Your daughter will also secure a job during that month. Working conditions will be better for you next year.
R. D. M.—Would it be wise for me to take up the course I have in mind? Could I make anything out of it?
Ans.: It will be very wise for you to take this course. Dress-making and designing will prove to be worth while for you financially and you can make a name for yourself in this line of work.
E. B.—Why can't me and my husband get along together?
Ans.: Because you expect too much from him. He doesn't appear to be working now and you should cooperate with him and try

Two Cases Before the Jury
Hello, home-towners! This is yours truly bringing to you some of the veddy, veddy latest dope.
FLASH! Gentlemen of the jury, may I present to you the case of one Clinton Ball. It appears that this dear lad, supposed to be the heart-to-heart interest of Miss Marion Smith, did a little doublecrossing. It all happened at the recent Parker-Gray dance when he trucked in with a little Miss Rebecca Russ, an out-of-town beauty. The lad also changed cars to keep his true love from knowing. And so it seems that the fellow who said that all of the triangular affairs were in Hollywood overlooked Alexandria. Leaving this case, the maestro leaves you with two questions: What would you do if you were in Mr. Ball's shoes? And also: How in the world would you patch things up if you were in them for sure?
And now the second case comes up. It involves the handsome Ralph Lane. (Who said he was handsome?) The other p.m. on the bus this lad unfolded his heart to the writer. And guess what it was all about. Quote: "Newman, that little Freddie Carter thinks he can beat my time with the lovely Mary Hancock, and I want you to put him straight. Tell him that if he doesn't lay off, I will become aroused." Well, feature that! Now, Mr. Lane, if the lovely Mary really likes the one and only Ralph Lane, you need not worry about any Freddie Carters. Take that tip from the old maestro. Incidentally, Freddie did dance more than once with the little lass at the recent
College Spirit
It was this writer's good fortune to attend the recent "doubleheader" football games at Howard University some few Saturday ago, and it was on this auspicious occasion that I had the excellent opportunity to witness the collegiate spirit and enthusiasm of the leading "race" institution of the country. I had always visioned the student body of Howard as normal and average "collegiate." That is to say, I wended my way to the stadium, in the hopes of listening to spontaneous cheering and outbursts from the students, for their dear Alma Mater, as well as to witness a well played game of football—such as is characteristic of other institutions of learning all over the country.
Frankly, while I was satisfied with the exhibition on the gridiron, I was as completely displeased with the spirit of the Howardites in the stands. Why, a handful of Miner Teachers' College co-eda sounded more vociferous than the more popular Hilltop onlookers. The wonder of it all, is how the players managed to win two games in the face of such poor and feeble enthusiasm, and so little encouragement. This treatise is written in the hope that more enthusiasm will be evidenced at future contests, for football games, like all other athletic contests are often determined by the encouragement andurgings of loval student bodies. As a non-student of Howard, this writer says—"Give us that old Howard spirit, it's good enough for us!"
Portrait of a man attempting to "dish out the local dirt":—
The Ten Squires who presented one of last spring's most successful social events are again to present a similar treat this Friday evening, October 18, at their cozy little nook located at 1334 "V" Street, Northwest...They are anticipating the usual gay and congenial patrons...Ozzie Simmons, of the University of Iowa is the Joe Louis of college football...Since Inez Bostic has returned from the Southland she shows the result of eating good "ole turnip greens and corn bread"...The dynamic and energetic Susie Payton, who has a mania for getting into accidents, is rapidly recovering from bruises suffered in a recent fall...Speaking of accidents, listen to the misfortune that have befallen poor William "Wiggles" Thomas...Bill was knocked down by a taxi, thrashed the cabbie, spent the week-end in the hoosgow, and is awaiting the outcome of divorce proceedings...just another case of "it never rains, but it pours"...Not to be daunted however, Bill has acquired another "den" on the westside of the city for more gallivanting this winter
...whatta-man! ...New York's latest contribution to Howard University, is Lieut. Battle's son ...The colored lieutenant, in case you didn't know is a member of New York's (fineest) police department...and his offspring has aspirations for the hillton basketball outfit...A five man cheering aggregation led by Theon (Scott) Scott, late of Detroit, attracted more attention and appreciation from the student body than the school's own appointed "cheer corns" during the aforementioned double-header at the University's openers...Quite secretly members of the so-called weaker sex have been diligently going through sessions of basketball two nights per week in preparation for the coming season...some of these tossers of the large oval sphere are Blanche Newton, Sylvia Digcr, Ruth Ross, Ruth McRae, Mildred Hearne, Delphia Watkins, Hazel Carter, Louise Beleno, and Dorothea Johnson...these athletic lasses are planning several week-end-out-of-town jaunts this winter...
Parker-Gray dance. Poor Ralph was behind his sax and could not do a thing about it. Tish! tish! Add our tears to yours, Mr. Lane. And now readers, you can answer the same questions that were asked at the end of the Ball, Smith and Russ case.
We Leave the Jury
FLASH! Just before the CCC camp was reduced to ashes, this writer went down to get the inside on one of the dances. There he noticed Thomas Gaines dancing with someone about twice his weight. And yet he is the type of guy who goes to dances for p'easure! (Catch on?) The same lad was espied at the picture house the other p.m. with still another lass. Just what kind of a Clark Gable is he an' way? Also. Eldridge Murphy, heart-beat of Miss Constance Patterson, was noticed sitting next to a sweet little bumble who resides on the corner of Pendleton and Columbus. Now, dear boy, how could you?... FLASH! I noticed that Charles Hollins has made up his mind at last! The latest report is that the lad has found himself another girl-friend. We believe the former was Miss Ethel Williams. I noticed that Miss Marion Glenn has gone completely daffy over the Capitol Southland Band, or is it Herbert Turner ... To Lemuel Kyer: the lass with your heart interest the other evening on skates was not the boy-friend. So don't worry; just keep on skating with Sis... To Miss Thelma Euille: your heart interest on South Columbus isn't walking the middle aisle yet awhile; so you can cast aside your worries... And now, cheerio!
they may be seen on Tuesday evenings at the Y.W and on Fridays at the Garnet-Patterson gymnasium...Recently a discussion about "pretty girls" was introduced at a stag affair, and several of Washington's most pronounced" feminine connoisseurs (how-a you like a that fifty dollar expression?) fumed and fussed over their individual) selections...towards the fag-end of the evening they managed to meet on common ground—and here's who they've chosen—six of them. Irma Adams, Connie Lucas, Annabelle Porte, Doris Brown, Zita Moss, and Doris Dudley Eckstein...don't ask me who these gentem selectors are
"I promised not to tell... For those who care to learn about the peculiarities and idiosyncrasies of sissies, pansies, lesbians, feminine men, and masculine women—read Dr. Fishman's tome "Sex in Prison"...it'll keep you up at nights...Funny that no prominent boulevard, or street has been named after the Father of our country, George Washington, in the Nation's Capital. Washington, D.C....That rollicking team of Romees, James Brooks and Frank Shears, are rapidly acquiring the sobriquet of "The Siamese Twins"
...Speaking of twins, while the Walter Grants didn't have any they were recently blessed with a lovely boy...congrats! . Forence Edmunds, the former pal of Joe

the club, Bailey, in a letter to Major Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of police, admitted that the noise which the citizens have been complaining of exists, and requested that a policeman be stationed in and about the club to abate the disturbance.
When a copy of the letter was sent to Registrar Wilkinson, he immediately wrote to Major Brown declaring that he has explicit confidence in Captain James E. Bobo, of the Second Precinct, in whose district the club is located.
Verdict Expected This Week
Captain Bobo is known to be opposed to the Cotton Club and on several occasions has appeared before the Alcoholic Control Board to testify against the club.
The complaint of the citizens is still pending before the A. B. C. Board, and a decision is expected sometime this week. The board also has another charge lodged against the club, with one of the board's members as complainant.

310 CLASSES IN DISTRICT SCHOOLS ARE OVERCROWDED
Dr. Wilkinson Urges Federation Members to Support Program
There are 310 classes in the elementary schools of Washington with an enrollment of over 40, according to a statement by Dr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superinterpreter of schools, in addressing the first meeting of the season of the Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations, Monday evening in the auditorium of Cardozo High School.
Dr. Wilkinson pointed out that 36 should be the average number of students in a class and when that number is increased there is a feeling that terms begin to diminish in efficiency. He stated that that there are 100 classes with enrollments over 45 and the average enrollment in the elementary schools is 41.
The school superintendent said that unless a building program is immediately started to care for the overloads the average enrollment within the next two years will be 45. He urged the members of the federation to study the needs of the schools and put forth every effort to remedy the existing crowded conditions.
One solution to the problem, he said, would be the erection of a senior high school in the northeast section of the city on land owned by the District on Benning Road. He stated that a senior high school building in that section would break up the grouping of senior high schools in the central section of the city and care for the large number of students in the northeast area.
Junior Highs Overcrowded
Dr. Wilkinson also stated that there is overcrowding in the junior high schools. Shaw has an enrollment of 1,600 when the capacity is 1,200. Terrell Junior High School had to send 160 students back to Armstrong this year to complete the ninth grade. The speaker made an appeal to the associations for aid for needy students and stressed the importance of local associations caring for pupils of their schools rather than have central authorities assuming the responsibility. The Rev. J. D. Pair, president of the federation, stated that as a member of the Citizens Advisory Committee on free school lunches, his organization has supervised the feeding of 1,600 pupils in one week Over half of this number were colored, he said.
The federation allotted $50 for the care of needy students. The Rev. Pair presided at the meeting. The next meeting will be held December 9.

Dr. Wesley To Speak
The week will open up with a sermon to the business men of Washington. The sermon will be preached at the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, Sunday, November 10, at 11 o'clock, by Dr. Charles H. Wesley, head of the Department of History at Howard University, and president of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.
Sunday afternoon Alpha Chapter is giving a smoker at the fraternity house for the business men of Washington, and is inviting all business men to attend. Jesse W. Mitchell, president of the Industrial Bank of Washington, and president of the Columbia Realty Company, has been invited to speak.
A business exhibit and dance combination, and two radio programs are also featured on the week's program.
To Hold Exhibit
The business exhibit will be held in the Lincoln Colonnade, November 16. Booths displaying every type of business engaged in by Negroes in Washington will be on display. A loud speaking system will be installed for the advertisement of those types of businesses that cannot be well displayed by booth. A feature of the exhibit will be dancing from nine until three o'clock with music by Baldwin's orchestra. The annual radio program sponsored by Alpha Chapter will be held Wednesday, November 13. Dr. William J. Thompkins, recordor of deeds, will deliver a fifteen-minute address on the "Rise of the Negro in Business."
Hayes To Sing
Roland Hayes, internationally-known tenor, and a member of the fraternity, will be the guest artist on the radio program, which will be on a National hook-up. Officials of the fraternity are urging all business men in Washington to cooperate with them in putting over an effective program.
All business men in the District are urged to send in the name and address of their business to W. Harry Barnes, 1913 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, so that no names of business enterprises will be left out of the business directory. There will be no charge for the entry of names in the directory. All that is asked is that the business men cooperate with the fraternity in helping to make the directory complete. Names should be in by November 1, so that the directory can go to the printer.

Justice Fenton J. Booth Speaker at Friday Night Service
Distinguished leaders in the field of law and members of the faculty and student body of the Robert H. Terrell Law School paid high tribute last Friday night to the man in whose honor the institution was named—the late Robert H. Terrell, first Negro judge of the Municipal Court. The occasion was the dedication of the school's new home, at 1922 Thirteenth Street. Since its establishment in 1931 the school has been conducted most of the time at the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. The new site—its first real home—was acquired by the school just recently.
Justice Booth Speaks
Chief Justice Fenton J. Booth of the United States Court of Claims told the gathering the highest tribute that could be paid Judge Terrell lies in the fact that, while occupying a high judicial position, he survived changing political administrations and always enjoyed the full support of the legal profession.
Mrs. Terrell Present
Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, widow of Judge Terrell, spoke of his life as "one which inspired great confidence in his pupils." His great love was his teaching, whether it was from the bench, in the class room or in the home, she said.
Mrs. Terrell presented the school with a portrait of Judge Terrell. It was accepted by President L. M. Hershaw.
Dean George A. Parker, in response to Justice Booth's address, described the efforts of the founders in the institution's early history.
The school now has an enroll-

LOUIS H. RUSSELL
ELECTED WALKER
POST COMMANDER
Louis H. Russell, Dunbar High School teacher, was unanimously er-elected commander of the James E. Walker Post of the American Legion, at its meeting last week at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A.
Among other Legionnaires elected to office were: Lieut. E. Dancey Jones, senior vice commander; Patrolman Fred D. Hilliard of the Metropolitan Police Department; junior vice-commander; Rev. J W Bundrant, chaplain; Dr. George L Johnson, post surgeon; Joseph Hawkins, sergeant-at-arms; Sergeant John Sweetney, quartermaster; Albert Valentine, historian; Dr. Ernest M. Gould, adjunct; Lieut. William Burrell, finance officer; Attorney J. Franklin Wilson, judge advocate; Leon Petite and Hurl Smith, color bearers.
Receives Department Honors
The Walker Post had the highest percentage of increase in membership for the 1935 membership drive among local posts under 100 membership, and stood third for highest percentage of increase in membership among the 33 posts of the District Department of the Legion. Commander Russell has been presented by the department with a gold plated tie chain, it was announced; and the Post will receive a silver loving cup. Legionnaires who secured over 20 members will receive gold American Legion buttons.
The American Legion will support cash payments of the bonus before the next session of Congress. Past Commander J. Franklin Wilson, delegate to the St. Louis convention, reported. Wilson served on the legislative committee at the convention. Lieutenants James B. Lomax and E. Dancey Jones, Sergeant Rolet Starks and Theodore C. Hall, who also attended the convention, gave sidelights on the convention.
Membership Drive Starts
The 1936 drive for members was opened with the appointment of the newly elected Senior Vice Commander E. Dancey Jones as chairman of the drive.
Plans for the annual Armistice Day smoker and get-to-gether of the Post were made with the appointment of Albert A. Pleasant as chairman of the Armistice Day Celebration Committee.
Alpha Chapter Holds First Meeting
Alpha Chapter, of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, held its first meeting, Saturday, at the fraternity house.
This was also the first meeting over which the newly-inaugurated basileus, William H. Barnes, presided. The other newly-elected officers are as follows:
Thomas Irving, vice-basileus; C. Waldo Scott, keeper of records and seal; James Miner, keeper of finance; Edgar Patterson, keeper of peace; Henry Robinson, chapain.
The social committee of Alpha Chapter, of which Emerson Parker is chairman and William Bruce, Vincent Cephas, Joseph Parker and Otto Snowden are members, began its program on Friday, October 4, with an unusually novel and entertaining party at the frat house.
The house was filled with mirth and gaiety as the brothers and their friends enjoyed a pleasurable evening while dancing to the entertaining music of a small but effective orchestra. Refreshments of an individualistic character were served by the pledge club of the fraternity.

The woman was injured when other passengers were thrown against her stomach.
At the same time Miss Damon called for speedy collection of funds to support further legal steps which will be taken, and to carry on the campaign to keep Herndon off the chain-gang.
The decision of the United States Supreme Court was made on an application for re-hearing of the case filed by Whitney North Seymour, retained for Herndon's defense by the ILL., after the previous decision of the court which re-fused to review the case, in a six to three decision, on technical grounds. The application for re-hearing cited authorities to show that these technical considerations, so flimsy that three of the members of the court refused to concur, were without foundation.

COURT OF APPEALS HEARS ARGUMENT IN DAMAGE SUIT
Mrs. Effie Bostic Seeks Damage Against Local Undertaker
Argument in a damage suit against W. Ernest Jarvis local undertaker, was presented in the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, Wednesday morning by attorneys representing the undertaker and Mrs. Effie Bostic. Following the arguments, the court took the case under advisement. Mrs. Bostic, who was injured when a car, belonging to the undertaker, ran off the road and down an embankment was awarded a judgement of $1,500 by a jury in the District Supreme Court. Jarvis was denied a motion for a new trial and the case was appealed. Mrs. Bostic was returning from a funeral at Burke, Va., on April 9, 1833, when the car in front of the one in which she was a passenger, stopped suddenly. The driver of her machine in avoiding

John H. Wilson and George E. C. Hayes, attorneys, appeared for the defendants.
Refused Payoff
According to information received by the Tribune, the raids were brought about when Miss Young appered at the Second Precinct Police Station and complained that she had played the numbers in the premises of 1241 U Street, Northwest. She told police that the number she had played had hit, and that the number barons refused to pay her. Police carried the young woman to the District Attorney's office and had a warrant sworn out for the arrest of Earl McDonald, Harold Coleman, Arthur Childers, and William Whitaker. The method adopted to bring about the arrest of the Men was to have Miss Young return to the places in question, purchase numbers slips again, and then arrest the responsible persons.
When arrests were made in one place, the same woman was used to play the numbers in other places and arrests followed. Arrested at Precinct

they should uphold and defend the constitution of the United States,
no further legislation was required, if the intent of Congress was to prohibit advocacy and not the giving of instruction."
Minority Report
The minority report, prepared by Gilligan, and adopted last Wednesday by the Board is as follows:
"After careful consideration o. the amendment to the present Appropriation Act for the District of Columbia, to wit: "that no part of any appropriation for the public schools shall be available for the payment of the salary of any person teaching or advocating Communism,, and of the opinion of the Corporation Counsel of the District of Columbia, rendered at the request of this Board, your Committee on Legislation recommends to the Board that it adopt the opinion of the Corporation Counsel as its own interpretation of the language of the amendment and instruct the superintendent of schools to take such steps as he may deem necessary to bring the opinion to the attention of employees of the Board of Education."
Pupils Reinstated
The board learned that the Elementary School Principals Association, Divisions 10-13, under date of October 14, nominated Mrs. R. S. Netherland, administrative principal, Burrville School, as its representative on the ratings committee.
The heads of departments and directors of special subjects, Divisions 10-13, under date of October 15, nominated Alfred Johnson, as its representative on the committee on ratings.
Dr. Ballou made a report to the board on the re-instatement of Harry J. Carter, pupil at Armstrong High School, who had been suspended following a melee with a teacher at that school.
Dr. Long Upheld
The personnel committee, in an executive session prior to the board meeting, voted to uphold the ruling of Dr. Howard H. Long, chief examiner, in declaring Miss E. I. Taylor eligible for appointment as clerk as of October 2, 1850.
Miss Taylor had given up her place under the Multiple Employment Act, at the request of the Board of Education. Sometimes later, the board learned through Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman, that th act did not employ to the District employees. Application was then made by Miss taylor for reinstatement, but was denied her because she did not have a knowledge of shorthand. Since that time, Miss Taylor took a course in shorthand and qualified for reappointment on September 14. On September 16, Missatherine Taylor was appointed to fill a vacancy that existed.
Miss E. Y. Taylor, through her attorney, W. L. Houston, contended before the board that the vacancy should have been filled by her since she had qualified by September 16. Dr. Long was also upheld by the personnel committee in the case of Miss Bernice Brandon, a teacher who was seeking re-appointment but was denied it. Contending that her name was improperly removed from the eligible list, Miss Charlotte Corbin, 118 Thomas Street, Northwest, this week filed suit in the District Supreme Court to compel the Board of Education to appoint her to a position as teacher in the public schools.
Miss Corbin contends that her name was taken from a list of eligible teachers for appointment to a junior high school post, and that another woman was appointed to the place to which she was entitled.
She avers in her petition that she did not know that her name had been erased until four months later.
The school board contends that Miss Corbin's name had been erroneously placed on the list through error of the Board of Examiners, and in reality was not eligible for appointment in the classification she had been given.
The case will be heard November 6.

Can We Escape War?
With clear pictures of our national security in 1914 and of the suddenness, the terrible cost, sacrifices and the national madness that followed in a few years, careful consideration and deliberate fortification of our emotions against war-hysteria is demanded.
On the surface the Italo-Ethiopian struggle appears to be a mere movement of a strong power against a weaker for colonial expansion. But is that so? A review of the history and resources of Ethiopia to discover what Italy could gain by so expensive and dangerous a method of colonizing, argues for some stronger motive on the part of the aggressor.
It is obvious that other nations, including Great Britian, would long ago have tried to make a colony of Ethiopia, had that country offered natural inducements to the greed or vanity or love of power of conquerors.
But recently have the hidden mainsprings of Mussolini's career come to light. He has two ideals, two guides and counsellors. One is the biography of the master Italian statesman and diplomat, Machiavelli, and the other that administrative and conquoring genius, Julius Caesar.
How to arouse the baser mass-emotions and a heedless disregard for truth, frankness and opposition, he has imbibed from the one whom he quotes and worships as the Christian does his Jesus. From the other he draws his campaign preparations and his battle strategy. Mussolini, then, is a leader to be reckoned with only by expecting the unexpected. As Cicero said of Caesar, "He disregards all laws, human and divine, in pursuit of the dominion which, by an error of judgment, he had allotted to himself."
The real object of Italy's war on Ethiopia according to careful students, is the subjugation of England and the dismemberment of the British empire. With a foothold in Ethiopia, Italy intends to invade or alienate the Sudan, Nyanza, and Egypt and even India, Italy regards England as a weakened Empire and wills to hasten that end without disturbing France or Germany. So ambitious a plan is hardly to be believed, but it is feasible and has marked the course of history. Time and again, far flung empires, breeding ease, security, and love of peace in the rulers have been broken down by barbarians from without. An Idea (1), Leadership (2), Numbers (3) and Organization (4) may comprise any conquest social, political, economic, or aggressive. Results are in the lap of the gods.
Judging from the revelations in the papers of Lansing, secretary of state, under Woodrow Wilson, who admits playing American sentiment against Germany and in sympathy with England's need of money, supplies and men in the last war, we shall become involved, unless we freely and fully discuss among ourselves the consequences of war.
This is the time to solemnly pledge ourselves to Peace; tomorrow may be too late to resist the demagogues, the pictures, the radio-suggestion.
President Roosevelt is a safe man to follow, now.
Know Thyself
Pope's axiomatic lines, "Know thyself! Presume not God to scan; the proper study of mankind is Man," are found fruitful in the historic and monumental task performed by Charles E. Hall, specialist in Negro statistics, under the authority of Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of the U. S. Department of Commerce, and through appropriation by the New Deal. 845 pages of figures representing the growth, number, disposition, hazards, casualities, origins, educational opportunities, occupation, church affiliation, city and farm distribution, etc., etc. are presented to the students of social problems, in a compact and convenient volume.
This work brings the famous "Negro in the United States—1790-1915," by Messrs. Pelham and Hall, up to date and gives the group material for its 100th anniversary of Emancipation in 1963.
In recognition of this performance both Secretary Roper and Mr. Hall deserve recognition by honorary degrees from Howard University.
The volume is one that should find a place and great usefulness on the shelf of every institutional, public and editorial library. All subsequent factual studies of the status of this group must take into account these authoritative findings.
Our minds, our selves and society shall be greatly modified by this labor so conscientiously performed at so stragetic a period in the national life of which, we are so considerable a part and a factor. z
Mississippi Judge Proves Justice Reigns
Justice Vergil A. Griffith of the Supreme Court of Mississippi, has risen to the full stature of theermine and American justice in that part of the record submitted in the endeavor to have the Supreme Court of the U. S. review the torture and duress inflicted upon three illiterate Negroes charged with having murdered a white farmer. Confessions were extorted by extreme cruelty even by the sheriff himself who regretted he was not more severe. Commenting upon this treatment by the sheriff and the mob which aided him, Judge Griffith said.
"It may be that in a rarely occasional case which accuses the flaming indignation of a whole community, as was the case here, we shall continue yet for a long time to have outbreaks of the mob or resorts to its methods. But if mobs and mob methods must be, it would be better that their existence and their methods shall be kept wholly separate from the courts; that there shall be no blending of the devices of the mob and the proceedings of the courts; that what the mob has so nearly completed let them finish, and that no court shall by adoption give legitimacy to any of the works of the mob, nor cover by the frills and furbelows of a pretended legal trial the body of that which in fact is the product of the mob, and then by closing the eyes to actualities, complacently adjudicate that the law of the land has been observed and preserved."
The Tribune has had cause repeatedly to hint at judicial lynching. Studies have been made to show that Negroes and foreigners receive heavier punishment for crime than do native whites. Repeatedly have we brought to the attention of the public flagrant abuses under the law, local as well as elsewhere, but always we have believed that there existed in the hearts of a fraction of the domiant group, such justice as is shown by Judge Griffith.
There is petty larceny, grand larceny and really swell larceny. Where the third sort is meditated, you will find great legal minds loitering around the driveways in the hope of being seen.

The (Washington) Daily News
The (Washington) Daily News
The New Leader, Socialist journal published in New York, appeals from Mussolini drunk with power to Mussolini sober in the fresh morning of his life.
The new Leader quotes an editorial written by Mussolini January 1, 1912, when he was the young editor of the Socialist daily Avanti. Attacking Italy's war in Lybia, North Africa, Mussolini said 23 years ago:
"The nationist, conservative and clerical Italy of today wants to make the sword her law and the army the school of the nation. We forsaw this moral degeneration and therefore are not surprised by it. But those who believe that this dominance of militarism is a sign of strength are mistaken. Strong peoples have no need to suffer such rubbish as the Italian press indulges in with foolish delight. Strong peoples have themselves in check. Nationalist and militarist Italy shows that she has herself not in check. A little war of conquest is celebrated as a Roman triumph."
Our Readers' Opinions
Compares Brown Bomber of Detroit to Smiling Warrior of White House.
To the Editor:
Thomas Young, rising young journalist of dear old Norfolk, Va., tells us, without smiling, that our President is not unlike Joe Louis, the fighter. They are akin, the writer says, in that they go about their work in precisely the same manner.
I cannot say whether it is old Burgandy or Tom's boss who is making him talk like that. Anyway, I disagree with what he has said and if I had the price of a 3-cent stamp, which is necessary to an out-of-town letter, I would tell him so.
Let us take a brief glance at the Senegambian pub and how he destroyed a talkative Jew. He entered the ring a 5 to favorite to whip the idol. He shuffled slowly out of his corner and paused for a brief second as if mapping out a hasty program; just thinking the situation over.
Once at work, Louis did not tarry; he paid little attention to the crowd because he knew that some time the bout must come to an end, and the end might find him on the short end. Then, too, he knew that a lot of people were pulling for him to win. He didn't want to let them down. He hewed and hewed con-

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 19, 1555
Kelly Miller Discusses
The Ethics of Christianity Versus The Ethics of Sports
"Dou unto others as you would that they should do unto you" is the fundamental principle of Christian ethics which is essentially altruistic in principle and pretention. On the other hand, sportsmanship derives its incentive from personal exhilizations and makes no altruistic pretense. The term "sportsmanship" cannocks the virtue of courage, manliness and fair play. Amateur sport is practiced for the pure love of it and disavows the dismal economic doctrine that the mainspring of high endeavor is monetary and material reward. The Olympian athlete exerted his prowess to the utmost only to be crowned with a wreath of laurels. Professionalism is repugnant to the spirit of the true sportsman whose highest aim it is, not to win but to excel.
On September 24th, when Joe Louis met Max Baer in the Yankee Stadium in New York, the spirit of the sportsman found its highest illustration and expression. The announcer appeal to the 90,000 spectators to lay aside all prejudice on account of race, color, or creed and join in the sportsman-like desire—"may the best man win." The admonition was unnecessary for this vast concourse of spectators were actuated by the spirit of sportsmanship which forbids the invasion of such vicious and diverting motives.
CHRISTIANS PRACTICE
UNCHRISTIAN SEGREGATION
Our Christian ethics has all but given up the hope of according a square deal to the brother in black, or rather the brother in colors, on account of racial diversities. White and non-white are everywhere treated by different formulas. But the world of sports acknowledges no such barrier; it demands for all a free field and fair field. The sportsmanship of the world demands that Germany disavow prejudices on proscription on account of race or religion on penalty of cancellation of the Olympian games on German territory.
It is in the field of sports, rather than elsewhere, that the Negro gets an even break according to his ability and merit. Joe Louis and Jesse Owens are acknowledged and accepted world Champions in the respective fields—the one for force of fist, the other for fleetness of feet. These are primitive tests of physical superiority. Racial and national ambition is not a matter of prejudice but merely of proper and becoming preference and pride. Just as the Caucasian race looks forward to a "white hope," so the Negro, naturally enough, takes just pride in the black promise. Every nation hopes to win the palm at the Olympian games. This is but a proper spur of sportsmanship.
According to the late Prof. Munsterberg, of Harvard University, there is universal fraternity and comradeship on the lower basis of primitive rather than on the high levels of cultural and social inhibitions. Shakespeare tells us that one touch of nature makes the whole world kin. Pugilism and other basic physical tests were practiced when the race was young, long before the emergence of race, class or religious prejudice. This is precisely what the high spiritual and emotional appeal is calculated to do—to arouse the primary religious emotions where all merge on the higher level, not merely of brotherhood but of fellowship.
CHRISTIANS COULD LEARN
LESSON FROM SPORTS
At the outpouring of the spirit at Pentacost, Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt and in parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangles of Rome, Jews, and Proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, understood, in their own tongue, where they were lifted, in a sort of Spiritual Esperanto, as it were, to the spiritual heights where spirit communes with spirit and all superficial distinctions of speech and language disappear. Thus on the lower level of physical exhilation and on the highere plane of spiritual exultation mankind reverts, as if recalling a former stage of existence, to primitive oneness.
Must Christianity be reminded of the fundamental unity of the human race by the ethics of the prize ring? Are we to learn of the brotherhood of man from pugilism rather than from the Pulpit? Is it to be in the field of sport rather than in the realm of religion that the lines of Kipling find the amplest fulfillment:
"But there is neither East nor West, border nor breed nor birth.
When two strong men stand face to face though they come from the ends of the earth."
stantly till the giant oak fell at his feet. He won, and left the ring with the cheers of the people ringing in his ears.
Let us take a look at Mr. Roosevelt and how he and Baby Kid Depression fought furiously for a short while. Please stop me if I'm wrong.
Mr. Roosevelt, unlike Detroit's Dark Cloud, started off like a whiwind. The people cheered him on. John Public had placed much confidence in the personality man of the White House, and he just had to win. Baby Kid had ruled long enough. Too Long.
The bout moved at a terrific clip for the early part of the first round. But Frankie began to tire. He missed frequently, and Depression, who had emerged from that first mix-up a little groggy, was regaining his vim and vigor.
Meanwhile, the people, the spectators, just set tight and wondered what was coming next. Roosevelt's manager, James A. Farley, a good man, seemed not to be interested in the proceedings, and his chief second, William Randolph Hearst, raised a squawk you could hear in Podunk. Mr. Hearst complained that his man was using his left too frequently and he began to look around for another fighter when Frankie refused to change to his right. Mr. Roosevelt began to gaze out at the crowd at intervals. A small group at the ring-side attracted him. The group later was identified by newspaper men as lobbists. The bout has been temoorarily called to a halt, because Mr. Roosevelt must now go to the people and ask them how he did in there and also find out if they want him to continue. The spectators cheer no more. They quit cheering long ago—way back there in the middle of the first round to be exact. Mr. Roosevelt lost the bout, but will be given another shot at the title. I think, only because there is no one else around who rates a trial. Oh, by the way. If anyone comes across Mr. Thomas Young in these parts, send him to me.

TRUE SPORTSMANSHIP HAS NO BIAS
By FLOYD J. CALVIN
BATTLE RAGES
At this writing the Ethiopians are giving splendid accounts of themselves on all fronts in resisting the Italian invasion. Especially in the north, around Adowa, are events exciting and the news thrilling. After holding back the invaders for four days, in site of the mechanized army bearing planes, tanks, artillery, machine guns and new and modern muskets, the warriors of Haile Selassie are reported harassing the enemy so effectively that the Italians may not be able to consolidate their gains.
Even through the war bulletins are sketchy and conflicting, it is readily apparent that the Ethiopians' strategy is brilliantly conceived and executed. Ras Seyoum, head of the Adowa province, is credited with directing a brilliant thrust into the Italian colony of Eritrea, and with luring to his own side some of the well armed Italian native troops.
Negroes must take with a "grain of salt" the adverse reports received on the Ethiopians. From the beginning of the conflict it has been clear that most of the correspondents with the Italian army and the radio commentators were heartily pulling for Italy. The Adowa siege is a clear case of the partiality. Two days before Adowa was reported captured, newspapers announced its fall as "imminent," and radio announcers said it was expected to yield "hourly."
Of course there is little help Negroes in America can give other than their prayers, but these should be given unstintingly. Anything that is done in favor of a black or colored man is done for yourself. Had we realized this centuries ago, we would be further along the road to civilization today.
SECRETARY HULL
Secretary of State Cordell Hull furnishes an interesting illustration of the mob background of many men in public life today. This is mentioned here because it shows the type of mind we must not only deal with in getting our laws enforced, but also in shaping the American public policy.
In a Washington interview published in New York, Mr. Hull, who was describing America's role in the world war and making the point that "we must avoid mixing in quarrels, but also the appearance of running away," is quoted as saying: "In my little home town in Tennessee I have seen a dozen street shootings. I have always found that if a man ran away from one of these desperadoes, he might take a shot at him, just for fun. But if he walked along his own side of the street, not getting mixed up in the argument, the gunman would treat him with the respect he is entitled to."
Perhaps the illustration the Secretary gave was perfect for the point he was making, but it was most revealing in giving the layman an insight into the thinking processes of America's political leaders. Here is a Secretary of State who uses a piece of outward to score a point in outlining America's role in the world. And the unfortunate part of the matter is, the Secretary was drawing on a personal experience which became a part of this character. It would be impossible to convince a man like the Secretary that lynching and mob rule are wrong, because he is used to it, and he really sees nothing so wrong about it. In fact it is quite natural to the Secretary. But perhaps another hundred years or more will give us a better grade of stafesmen.
PRESS RECOGNIZED
Recognition extended the Negro press at the recent Louis-Baer fight drew special mention in Editor & Publisher, the newspaper trade magazine. Some thirty-odd newspapers covered the fight, and Negro sports writers filed stories over telegraph wires along with writers from the daily press. The white writers were well impressed with the efficiency as well as alert appearance of the Negro writers. They conversed with them freely—nationally known sports writers who knew little or nothing of the Negro press, exchanging views, swapping jokes, comparing notes with each other.
And the surprising thing about it was some of the Negro weeklies beat some of the dailies in covering the event, from both the news and picture angle. The Negro weeklies did a quicker and better job on pictures that week, than ever before. Some of them came out simultaneously with the dailies, and with as much copy and illustrations.
All of which goes to show how rapidly the Negro press is growing, and what a fundamental hold it is getting on its public. A few more years and it will be the real power in Negro life that it should and must be

I was always under the impression that the above statement is used to indicate a lot of bad luck or a particular brand of salt. It can, however, also refer to good luck.
The writer of this column thought his streak of luck had ended when he won a small fortune on Joe Louis but lo and behold five days later he was awarded a $150 tuition scholarship at Howard University for the year 1935-36 for "scholastic excellence." The recipient must take at least 15 semester hours of work, a fact which I believe would cause me to forego the pleasure of accepting but to my surprise and gratification the chief of my division adjusted my working hours so that I could go to work at six in the mornings and leave at one each evening.
Even here my luck did not stop for I have been offered a position at the Government Printing Office paying approximately $365 more than I now receive and negotiation are under way to give me night work so that I will not lose my scholarship.
Although that bunch of Negro haters at the State Department refuses to unqualifiedly recommend my reinstatement, I am expecting to bring enough pressure to bear on them to cram the appointment down their dirty vindictive throats. The next ten days will tell the tale.
It affords me no small degree of pleasure to sponsor for my readers a unvarnished account of "Huey P. Long's True Feeling Toward Negroes" by one who should know:
*****
This information is being given the public as a result of an article published in the Washington Tribune as a result of what Congressman Mitchell had to say concerning the late Senator Long. Of course, I am certain that the Congressman never had any intention of striking or assaulting Mr. Long at any time on Capitol Hill. But the Congressman was certainly right and correct when he stated that a number of Negroes from Louisiana had appealed to him for his kind intervention in matters which they had been unfairly dealt.
I, myself, and Mr Adam R. Bourgeois are two Negroes who have the most meritorious cases deserving the attention of any National Representative in which we have tried to enlist his support in seeing that we get simple justice and at no time has Mr. Mitchell expressed his willingness to give the required assistance.
In a personal conversation with him, he directed me to Senator Long and gave me to understand that Mr. Long was a very fine and able man, and that he was sure the Senator would help me. I am certainly glad that at last Mr. Mitchell has found out that the Senator was the kind of man I represented him to be and it was a pity that he waited until Mr. Long was dead to express his true feelings towards him and state to the public the true feelings of Mr. Long towards Negroes. I congratulate Congressman Mitchell on his present position on matters concerning Mr. Long and the Negro.
Huey P. Long's True Fellings
Towards Negroes.
The writer of this article was personally acquainted with the late Senator Long and many of his satellites, New Orleans, La. being the place of my birth. The writer was very active in civic and political affairs in the state of Louisiana and was finally made the "Bone of contention" by Mr. Long in the Senatorial campaign against Hon. Joseph E. Ransdell, who was then the incumbent. In the senatorial campaign of 1930, Mr. Long, appealing to the prejudice of white Southern Democrats for their votes, gave a true manifestation of his own personal feelings towards Negroes in general.
During the progress of that campaign, and especially on the eve of the election day, over the radio he repeatedly and sincerely advised his hearers that, Senator Ransdell had been in Washington for more than thirty years and during which period of time he (Ransdell) had used his influence on very many occasions to assist Negroes in securing Federal positions, and in many instances he claimed that the positions gave the Negro authority over white men.
Mr. Long urged his hearers to elect him to the U.S. Senate instead of Ransdell in order that he would be able to stop the appointment of Negroes to Federal positions. He promised the white people that in the event of his election to the Senate, he would not use his influence to place a single Negro in a position, but to the contrary, he would exert all of his power in getting the Negroes out of Federal position.
He made a direct attack upon me and my position as U.S. Store-keeper-Guanger simply because I was a Negro. Notwithstanding the fact that my appointment was due to my having attained a creditable average through a First Grade Competitive Examination and had been recommended by the best element of whites and blacks for my honesty, integrity and efficiency. It was impossible for Mr. Long to attack me in my position for the lack of general fitness. The best he could do was charge that Ransdell had urged the appointment of a "nigger."
Mr. Long was backed by the K.K.K. organization, who was opposed to me because I was a Negro and it opposed Senator Ransdell because he was a Catholic. Immediately after the election of Long to the U.S. Senate, just as he had freely predicted, through the influence of the K.K.K. organization in Louisiana, under the most unjustifiable circumstance I was compelled to forfeit my position or allow myself to be transferred away from my home and family in order to hold the position.
I was eventually framed out of my position by reputed members of that same organization who supported Mr. Long for the Senate, and up to this date, in spite of every effort on my part to secure a hearing before proper Government officials, it has been impossible on account of the influence of some of those who supported Mr. Long.
He made good his promise to the Democratie white electorate of Louisiana in that he would see that I get out of that job and he would see that no Negro secure a similar position in Louisiana. That is exactly how much Mr. Long thought of Negroes in general. When Mr. Long spoke of the poor man, he never had the Negro man on his little mind. At the time Mr. Long was elected to the Senate the K.K.K. control the political situation in Louisiana, and he never would have been supported by that crowd had he been the least bit friendly disposed towards the Negro. There is no Negro living today who owes his appointment to any Federal position to the influence of

Mr. Long, and neither was his (the Negro's) economic condition bettered.
Any information the Associated Negro Press might have in its files purported to show that Senator Long had made it possible for the Negroes of Louisiana to exercise their rights of suffrage is absolute wrong and without a semblance of the truth.
The fact that a special session of the Louisiana Legislative body was called sometime last year through Senator Long's bidding to the Government, and in which session the law, requiring the payment of two years poll taxes prior to the year of the election as one of the prerequisites to qualify as a voter, was repealed through Senator Long's advice, it did not make it possible for the Negroes of Louisiana to vote.
That repealing law only removed one of the incumbances which unfairly rested upon the suffrage rights of all citizens of the state of Louisiana, and not the Negro in particular.
Since 1896 the Negroes of Louisiana have been deprived of the free exercise of their suffrage rights through the power granted by the State Legislative body to the State Executive Committees of the various political organizations of the state, and the discretionary power granted the Register of Voters. With the power delegated to the State Executive Committees of the various political parties, the State Democratic Committee resolved that, "no one other than a white person shall vote in Democratic Primaries."
With the power delegated to the Registrar of Voters the law provides that, "the Registrar of Voters shall have discretionary power in determining whether or not the applicant has given a correct interpretation of the Constitution." If you are a member of the Negro Race the State Democratic Committee says you cannot take part in the Democratic Primaries. If you are a member of the Negro Race, as a rule, in the judgement of the Registrar your interpretation of any section of the constitution he puts to you are wrong in your interpretation, even though you are a graduate of Harvard Law College with a degree.
Mr. Long found that to be the situation bordering on the free exercise of suffrage when he became Governor of Louisiana and even Senator from Louisiana, and at no time has he ever expressed himself as being inclined to use his influence to have that hostile legislation repealed. These laws which I am referring to are still prevailing throughout the State of Louisiana, and until they are repealed, it will not be possible for the Negroes of that state to exercise their suffrage rights freely.
It must be admitted that there is no amendment in the Constitution of the United States that gives us the right to vote, that is specifically. The Negro was emancipated by the enactment of the 18th Amendment and was given citizenship through the enactment of the 14th Amendment. After being given citizenship, our rights of suffrage followed as a matter of course.
The 15th Amendment is prohibitory in its scope. It prevents any infringement on our suffrage rights on account of race, creed or previous conditions of servitude. Mr. Long and his controlled legislative body have circumvented the 14th and 15th Amendments by allowing or permitting the State Executive Committee to eliminate the Negroes from party affairs. It was all right for them to allow the "Understanding Clause or Educational Clause" to remain, but he (Mr. Long) was too prejudiced towards Negroes to even urge a fair, honest and honorable mani-
BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
Associated Negro Press Misinformed
(Continued from last week)
On his fifth day in Miami, just after his visit to the high school, Carl noticed several large placards placed on telegraph poles, on fences, on the sides of buildings. The signs read:
"No whites in Negro Town after 9 P.M.
No Negroes in White Town after 9 P.M."
He paid little attention to the sign that afternoon. He though it rather an odd thing to do; the idea flashed quickly in his mind that it was in all probability the work of a poor-white with a twisted mind, a fool, a nit-wit, a fanatic. Certainly it could do nothing but aggrigate an already bad situation; it would awaken thoughts of racial differences and antagonisms that might otherwise remain dormant.
Then he began to understand his father's statement to him that he had left Miami 20 years ago because of the attitude of white folk there toward brown. It was dangerous, his father had told him, for a black man to talk back to a white man in those days. It was true that the white folk were there in larger numbers, that they were better organized. Carl Brandon had wondered why they had not struck back, fought back. They were just as the others were, physically and individually they were as strong. But his father had told him that it was their organized control over the city, their power of wealth that inevitably would give them the advantage.
On the next day, however, Father John told him that a Negro had shot a white man in an argument over money. The white population did not like it and threatened to get the Negro. He said he had just glimpsed a group of them searching for the Negro who did it. He said he feared trouble. That afternoon Father John's wife received a telephone call. A friend of hers informed her, somewhat excitedly, that a group of white men and a group of Negroes were fighting with sticks and stones on the North side of the town. An hour later newsboys were shouting to sell the "Riot Extra." The paper said that the mobs were growing on each side and that a general race clash was feared. The paper said that the Mayor would probably call a detachment of the State Militia.
Carl Brandon was thinking of the highly imperfect condition of the world. It was imperfect yesterday; it is imperfect today. Man made efforts to amend but the Divine Will has made man fallible. In spite of his efforts, his creations of laws, his systematic attempt to distinguish between right and wrong in order that right might be rewarded and wrong punished—man, weak creature in a vast universe, still stood a failure. He had, the night before, seen a picturization of Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables." The relentless attempt of the law to crush, and its final failure as an instrument because of its own extremes was brought out, he thought, with excessive force and power in the picture.
Carl, becoming interested, decided to go to the scene of the conflict. He was, of course, careful. When he arrived on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Twenty-first Street on the North side of the town he found a large group of Negroes standing around and talking excitedly. They were just in the rear of the actual scene of the conflict.
(To be continued)
festation or administration of the Understanding or Educational Clause. He knew that the spread of education among the Negroes in Louisiana would certainly justify and assure thousands of Negroes the unhampered right to qualify as electors ad vote likewise
Free Books Propaganda
Mr. Long was a political demagogue, religious bigot and was thoroughly imbued with racial animosity. As a matter of fact, he was not responsible for the free text books in the Public Schools of Louisiana. The free distribution of text books in Public Schools in Louisiana is entirely due to Attorney Frank J. Looey, Shrieveport, Louisiana. That law had already existed in certain parts of the state and it was Attorney Looney's intention to make the law state-wide.
In fact, Attorney Looney had contemplated making it a part of the Constitution of the State, Mr. Long, who was about to run for Governor of the State, requested Mr. Looney to permit him (Long) to use the idea as a plank in his platform on which he was to run for Governor. He used Attorney Looney's thunder for his own political advancement and never would make it a part of the State Constitution.
An investigation will prove that there is plenty of room for improvement in educational facilities and construction of new buildings for educational purposes for the good of Negroes throughout the State of Louisiana. These facts can be verified by the Times-Picayune of New Orleans, Louisiana, under dates of August 23rd, 1930, and August 29th, 1930.

The Robert H- Terrell Law
School held its Dedicatory Exer-
cises, Friday, Cctober 11, in its
new home, 1922 Thirteenth Street,
Northwest.
The schoo? has made wonderful
progress ard isch eredit is due
the fzculty ang officers of the
corporation for the splendid step
made in puccuasing the presen:
site.
Prof. Emory B, Smith, professor
of the Law of Contracts, Insur-
ance and Lezal Bibliography and
and Briefing, presided at the dedi-
eatory exercises, The address of
the evening was made by the Hon.
Fenton J Booth, Chief Justice
U.S. Court of Claims, The re-
sponse was made by Dean George
A. Parker. Remarks were mad2
by Attorney Thurman Dodson,
president of the Washington Ber
Ascoziation and J. H. K. Reniro,
of tae cizss of 1937.
Mrs, Mazy Caurch Terrell. pre-
sented the school with a picture
of her late husband, Judge Robert
Terrell, for whom the school is
named and the acceptance was
made by President L. M. Hershaw.
The Rev Waiter H. Brooks offer-
ed the invocation and benedict’on.
Exploring in new territory last
week,*we chanced into the new of-
fices of Dr. W. Henry Greene, phy-
sician and surgeon, and Dr. Wil-
liam E. Taylor, dentist, formerly
of 702 P Street, Northwest. These
well known professional men have
moved from the former address
and have extensively remodeled
the premises, 702 S Street, Nort-
west, into a most beautiful office
suite. (Remember 702 P Street,
Northwest to 702 S Street, North-
west. Quite significant—isn't it?)
The who'e suite is quite modern
and ‘well eaaipned, The color
scheme, peculiarly different from
the majority of physician's and
dentist's offices, js of green and
ivory instead of pure white—a
pleasing innovation and very rest-
ful to the eye. Venetian blinds of
‘ivory fashioned with green trim-
mings beattify the windows.
The patronage in this section
has been most wonderful and the
physicians concerned wish to ex-
tend a cordial invitation to other
frionds and and well wishers to
visit them at their earliest con-
venience.
Yours truly was certainly ap-
precistive of the many friends
who dropped in to wish her a hap-
py birthday on last Saturday eve-
ning. A Very great surprise came
when Qsear Frederick, known as
“Babe Ruth” to his many friends
here, phoned _ “congratulations”
from Boston, Mass, (Our two
birthdays coming together, we
usually celebrated at the ‘same
time).

dicating with sweeping action, the
confusion and misunderstandinz
which may exist in a household
where all the occupants are as

is quite heightened and the dialo-
gue is, at times, brilliant.

She was one of the leading and

Look who's playing checkers
with the weather. . (Mrs, Alice
West). When September sent a
chill up and down the beach Alice
didn't sit in a corner and shiver
and mourn over Ven-High Hotel.
She picked up her pots and her
pans and moved to the new White-
jaw. Now, every time you try
to go by ‘thirteenth Street at.
You miss your step or something.
Maybe its the delicious whiff of
crab cakes; or the floating frag-
vance of steaming cups ot colfee;
or the teasing aroma of biscuits
browning .in the oven, or maybe
roils. At. any rate when you
recover your equilibrium, you tnd

When Dr. Ruth Moore of How-
ard University is in the class room
she teaches bacteriology. When
she gets outside she gives lessons
in charm (unconscious ones, of
gourse). But you detect them
even when she enters a room and
sweetly says “Good Morning,” or
when she softly murmurs “Good-
night” as she bows herself out of
your presence. You learn a les-
son of charm from the lift of her
eyeorow, from the warmth of her
handclasp, from the —de meet her

in the Land of the Happy Here-
afer where noble folks go, when
they leave otf their good deeds
here, there must have been a lot
of chuckling done the other Fri-
day night. Especially in the late
Judge \errell's “mansion.” It
must have tickled his heart a
plenty to notice the hosts (high
snd thumble alike) that were
crowding the halls of the law
school (that proudly bears his
name) to witness the dedication
of its new Thirteenth Street home.
His breast must have swelled with
pride as his widow (Mrs. Mary
Church Terrell) presented his pic-
true, And as one word of praise
came swift on the wings of an-
other, the Judge's cup of joy must
have filled to overflowing. And
as the thought must have come
to him that maybe through the
ages the school will remain a land-
mark, lighting the way of the law-
yer, like a beacon in a tower, the
Judge, so thinking, so knowing,
must have rolled over on his
“eouch” and chuckled himself to

FURTHER DETAILS RELATIVE
To HOWARD'S DORMITORY
said to have been “bunking” in an-
cient Clarke Hall, men’s dormitory,
without the permission of Dean of
Men William B. West. :
Without personally investigating
the incident, the dean took the word
of one of his stooges and ordered
the suspension before the boys
were given a trial before the uni-
versity discipline committee.
‘The discipline committee had
vested in both the dean of men and
the dean of women the authority to
take such action in matters of dis-
cipline to prevent the assembling
‘of the entire committee for minor
discipline matters. In each case,
however, the student has the right
of appeal to the committee for a
review of the facts in their case.
These two students, one a senior,
the other a sophomore, took ad-
vantage of their right to an ap-
peal, had their case reviewed be-
fore the discipline committee, and
the penality reduced from a half-
year suspension, to ten days,
Without broaching the subject
as to the dean’of women dealing
fairly in matters of discipline that
come before her decision, we pass
‘on to the dean of men, review the
facts in the case that came before
him, and leave it to the readers of
this column to. decide whether or
not such” discretionary powers
should be ‘yested in the dean of
men. i
Dean of Men Criticized
Room Accommodation.
To begin with, the dean of men,
in_an exclusive interview with this
columnist, severely. criticized the
housing “accommodations for men
ut the university. Out of approxi-
mately 900 men who attend the uni-
versity annually, he said, only 175
can be accommodated in the uni-
Rersity doumiforipe, Approximately
400 more students would take ad-
Vantage of dormitory facilities, he
said, if the university had the dor-
mitories.
The dean of men told this col-
umnist. that the room space in
Clark Hall hid been reduced over
the summer because a set-up of
suites had been substituted for sin-
gle rooms. The _ International
House, that heretofore had housed
fourteen students, had been razed
during the ‘summer: «These facts,
he said, made the problem of hous-
ing: male students more complex.
With students unaware that
these changes had been made,
dozens of them came to Howard at
the opening of school with the in-
tention of securing rooms in the
university dormitories. When they
came and found that their rooms
had been turned :into suites, and
one dormitory torn down, | they
were faced: with the problem of
finding » place’ to stay in the city.
This requires several days.
‘As a result students were bunk-
ing anywhere they could find a bed: |
some spending the night in the
dormitory” lounging room, others
we around in the various fra-
ternity houses, and two bunked in
dormitory rooms with student
friends.
Student Supposed to Suffer
Pending Working of Red Tape.
One of the students, a senior,
was head waiter in the university
dining hall, and was contracted to
receive his room and board on the
eampus for his services, He had be-
£2 jhis work in the dining: hall
t due to.necessary red tape, his
name had rot been certified to the
Dean of Men for a room assign-
ment, s0 he bunked with a friend
the dormitory until such an as-
nt could be made,
In the case of the other student,
@ sophomore, application had been
Made by him for a room, and, ac-
eording to his statement, had been |
told by the Dean of Men that there |

yen the matter was called to the
attention of the dean’ of men, the
students were suspended for’ one
semester without a hearing.
Last week, Dean West was quot-
ed in a Baltimore paper as saying
that he had called the men in and
reminded them they were violating
the university rules, ang suspended
them only when they persisted in
ignoring the regulation

to conceive of the discipline |

Furthermore the dean was quot-

To suspend two students for
such a minor infraction under the
above cireumstances certainly does
not reflect credit on the university.
There is such a thing as
abuse of authority, and when
it is definitely established that

According to the present conduct

For High School
BALTIMORE. — The county

refused to receive a petition sign-

to establish a Negro high school

‘The county provides twelve high
schools for white pupils and none
for colored pupils. The white

would be eligible to attend high
school are thus denied the chance

Owner of New York Paper Locks Out Members of Guild BULLETIN
Continuing their battle to retain their liquor license, officials of the Cotton Club, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, met with members of the Citizens' Steering Committee, which is seeking the revocation of the club's license, and made a request that the committee "hold in abeyance their grievance against the said Cotton Club."
Court of Appeals Rules in Favor of Widow of George Frazier
The officials asked that this request be granted until February, 1936, with a view of ascertaining the "true spirit of the Cotton Club management as to correcting the cause of the complaint."
Request Denied
The steering committee, which met with the Cotton Club officials at the home of Frederick D. Wilkinson, registrar of Howard University and chairman of the citizens' group, denied the Cotton Club's request, citing four reasons for their action as follows:
"Four months have passed since the citizens made their formal complaint concerning the peace and quiet of our neighborhood being disturbed because of the conduct of some of the patrons on their way to and from the Cotton Club. which conduct we have every reason to believe is due to the fact that these persons are under the influence of some overdose of intoxicating drink.

EDITORIAL STAFF OUT ON STRIKE
BULLETIN
NEW YORK—Faced with a militant campaign which has cut deeply into the circulation and confronted with the probable loss of the biggest advertisers, Mrs. Sadie Warren Davis and her daughter, Mrs. Odessa Morse, controlling stockholders in the Amsterdam News, were assailed Tuesday in a report given to Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia by Mrs. Elinore M. Herrick, chairman of the Regional Labor Board.
Mayor LaGuardia invited Mrs. Davis and Mrs Morse to City Hall on Monday and strongly urged that they hold a conference with the Newspaper Guild of New York in Mrs. Herrick's office. The guild is supporting 15 of its members who were fired from the Amsterdam News last week for union activity.
Mrs. Davis and her daughter agreed to the mayor's suggestion, but they failed to keep an appointment. The guild representation was present, along with William H. Davis, owner of more stock in the Amsterdam News than any other individual, but his wife and her daughter did not even telephone to break or postpone the engagement. Mr. Davis publicly admits that "economy" the reason given for the firing by Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Morse, is just a shield. He contends that guild activity was the sole motivation.
NEW YORK. (CNA)—The entire editorial staff of the New York Amsterdam News, one of the largest weekly newspapers in the country, was summarily discharged and locked out by the publishers and owners here last Wednesday, October 9.
This action climaxes the efforts of the owners, led by Mrs. Sadie Warren Davis, wife of William H. Davis, co-owner of the paper to smash the unit of the American Newspaper Guild, recently set up by the editorial staff to improve its working conditions and obtain union recognition.
A picket line was placed in front of the "Amsterdam News" offices at 2293 Seventh Avenue at 1 o'clock Wednesday, and four editorial workers have been marching daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m: They carry banners stating "Boycott the 'Amsterdam News'—The owners bar union employees from the editorial Staff." Other banners demand union recognition and ask public support of the editorial workers.
This is the first time in the history of the American labor movement that Negro employees of a Negro business firm has resorted

WHITE INSURANCE COMPANY LOSES
Mrs. Effie Frazier, 1117 Third Street, Southwest, won a $200 verdict before the Court of Appeals last week when the court reversed the decision of the Municipal Court and held that Mrs. Frazier was entitled to that amount from the Commercial Casualty Insurance Company, white, in the death of her husband, George Frazier, who held a policy in the company.
The insurance company refused to pay the amount of the policy and claimed that it had elapsed.
Atterney Elwood Hubert who represented the widow stated that prior to the death of Mr. Frazier, the latter had placed an application with the company for a loan in order to pay the premiums and thought that the loan had been approved and the money applied to the policy.
The high court overruled Judge Raedy who also had refused to grant a new trial.
It was brought out that over $400 had been paid into the company by Franier in premiums.

Failed To Cooperate
We are further unwilling to grant this request because before this; complaint was made to the police department, nun.erous requests were made of the management of the Cotton Club to abate this noise, with no avail; and even since this case has been pending before the A. B. C. Board, the management of the club has demonstrated his unwillingness to cooperate by his failure to close his Club from September 23, 1935, to September 30, 1935, every night at a 2 o'clock and on Saturday at 12 o'clock. The fact that the management of the Cotton Club did not follow the request of the A. B. C. Board to close at those hours and between those two dates as an experiment, clearly indicates to us the true spirit of the management of the Cotton Club not to cooperate."

187 Enrollees Praised for Bravery in Fighting Blaze
ALEXANDRIA—An early morning fire at the CCC camp Saturday destroyed five barracks, the mea hall and part of the administration building. The camp is located south of here on the old Battery Cove Reservation on the Potomac waterfront. No one was injured. Damage was estimated at $20,000. According to Capt. Francis La McSarren, white commanding officer, the fire broke out shortly after 5 a.m. in the mess hall. The 187 CCC men and their three white officers were immediately awakened and the Alexandria fire department summoned.
Men Praised for Bravery
Bucket brigades, formed by the men, fought to confine the flames to the barracks. With the local firemen, they succeeded in saving the recreation hall, hospital bath house, officers' quarters and part of the administration building.
Captain McSarren said:
"The discipline of the men was splendid—they did a great job."
Practically all the personal effects of the men and most of the mattresses and bed clothing were saved.
The camp is isolated and there was little danger of the fire spreading to other property. The nearest structure is the old Munitions Administration Building, erected in war time, and this is several hundred feet distant.
The camp boys have been moved to another camp, and work will begin on the erection of new buildings on the site of the recent fire.

No definite action has been made on the project.

DISTRICT TO WAGE FIGHT AGAINST TB.
Medico Chirurgical Society to Co-operate With Health Officer
The Health Department of the District of Columbia, under the guidance of Health Officer Dr. Ruhland, proposes to wage an intensive campaign against the ravages of tuberculosis, which is responsible in this area for appalling human suffering and death, leaving social, economic and civic devastation in its wake.
The first objective in such a program must of necessity be a liberal extension of knowledge of this malady to the public. The Medico-Chirurgical Society of the District of Columbia will co-operate with the health department in this endeavor, and proposes as its initial steps:
1. To seek endorsement of the campaign from all civic and welfare organizations and parent-teacher associations.
2. To offer the services of prepared speakers to appear before such organizations or associations, at such regular meetings as these groups may designate, so that full information of the proposed campaign may be presented.
The personnel of the public relations committee of the society are: Doctors Dorothy Boulding Fereche, Donald McHarper, U. L Houston, Albert Hughes, Philip Johnson, Theodore Pincney, E. L Williams and E. C. Wiggins, chairman.
