STILL IN AIR
The action of John A. Marshall, white superintendent of insurance of the District of Columbia, to get possession of the property and assets of the Federal Life Insurance Company, with offices at 715 Florida Avenue, under a recent Act of Congress, has not as yet come to issue in the D.C. Supreme Court. Declaring the company insolvent the superintendent of insurance for the District filed suit in September and a hearing was set for an early date. Later a postponement was allowed to October 11, at which time a satisfactory settlement of the issue was promised.
Marshall claims that on examination completed as of December 31, 1934, the insurance company's surplus was only $23,267, or $2,340.63 less than the amount required by law. The required sum in assets or capital stock fully paid up in cash or both together must be not less than $25,000 for that class of insurance company, according to the Act of Congress.

This picture was taken only second after Alexander Nelson, daring parachute jumper and pilot, fell to his death in Chesapeake Bay Sunday after leaping from a plane 2,500 feet up and about a quarter mile offshore when the jibshore breeze failed to bring him over land as anticipated. In the circle, Nelson can be seen hanging from the two parachutes which he used and which he manipulated desperately to speed his supersonic drift. One was a seat pack 'chute and the other a chest 'chute. He opened the chest 'chute when he discovered he was falling into the bay. It was his 61st such exhibition jump. As no oonts were anywhere in sight to save him, the row seat finally launched reached the spot where he went down too late.—(Journal and Guide Photo by P. Berard Young, Jr.)

Why?
Because unsteady hands mean accidents in the day of high powered machinery. Hangovers mean Blue Mondays when men are not at work.
Dr. H. M Vernon. British scientist, in war-time observation of munitions workers "definitely connected the daily or hourly accident rates with opportunity for drink taking." He concluded that "the reduction in efficiency produced by the consumption of alcohol is something like ten percent.

WHITE STUDENTS PROTEST U. OF VA. DISCRIMINATION
National Students League
Raps Board's Policy in
Refusing Girl
RICHMOND, Va. — Action of
the University of Virginia board
of visitors in refusing recently to
admit to the university graduate
school Alice Jackson, daughter of
a Richmond druggist and former
graduate student at Smith College,
was formerly criticized by the Nati-
onal Student League of the uni-
versity.
A copy of the letter expressing
the student group's opinion of the
board's action was made available
for publication by Francis James,
chairman, and was in part as follows:
"The reason given (for refusing admittance) was 'The education of white and colored persons in the same schools is contrary to the long established and fixed policy of the Commonwealth of Virginia.' We gather from this statement that the student in question was refused admittance solely because of her race. We ask whether a long established polley is never to be changed? or ask whether, in the present time of general political reaction and antagonism against racial minorities, it is not necessary to assert the right of equal opportunity for all people, regardless of color or creed. In short we criticize the board's stand because it implies the desirability of continuing educational in equality. We are confident that every Christian thinker will concur with us in this protest."

2. Persons who have grown up should and must show that they have a sense of responsibility.
3. Persons who grow up as they should, know how to show the proper attitude whe they cannot have their own way, as well as when they can.

ELEVEN
PHI BETA SIGMA CONFERENCE TO MEET HERE
Laurence J. W. Hayes, publicity director, announces that a conference of the eastern district of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity will be held by the vice-president, Attorney James Weldon Johnson, on November 16, here in Washington. The relation of the fraternity to the general public and many vital questions affecting the fraternity itself will be discussed. The questions are those dealing with social and economic problems. The under-graduate members, led by Fred Minnis now studying constitutional law at Harvard University, are exerting much pressure for a forefront position in the struggle for Negro rights.
This liberal progressive-minded element contends that the fraternity must serve for something more than a medium for social functions. They believe that college men should lead the way instead of looking from above down on the masses. It was this element which, despite opposition from ex-national president, Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell, forced the fraternity to adopt a militant program Christmas when the annual conclave put through its social action movements. Sigma and Zeta Chapters of Washington are holding an educational institute this year on the date of the conference. Large delegations from the New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia chapters will be present.

Looking ’em Over
With the Tribune
here 18 more behind or under this latest lie-up oF tne
Madison Square Garden and the Twentieth Century Sport-
ing Club than appears on the surface of the thing.
Whenever two generations prevously so conscientious
in their bitterness toward one another, become acquiesced
over night, make no mistake about it, there is a reason.
This department is inclined to believe that both parties
expect to benefit by the move—each more than the other.
In the first place it appears that Madison Squaré
Garden officials have seen “the handwriting on the wall.”
And in the second place it looks like Mike Jacobs, major
domo of the Twentieth Century Club, realizes that “pig-
headiness” (where’ve I heard that word before?) is going
to get him nothing in the end.
Now let’s take them one at a time and discuss their
respective sides.
When it came to pass that Joe Louis, the young knock-
out from the middle west, won his way to the vestibule of
the world heavyweight championship and began knocking
on the door of the paste-board titleholder, Madison Square
Garden officials became the chject of much speculation on
the part of newspapers and the public.
What were they going to do with Jimmy Braddock,
whom the nation accepted as little more than an ordinary
third-rate fighter? What could they do in the promotion
game if the public felt satisficd that their champion was
equipped with a plush chin and a tissue-paper jaw, a fact
that would be proved the first time he encountered a boxer-
puncher the calibre of Louis? e
Their “Yeah, but we've got the title” was met with the
query: “How much glory is there in holding a prize that is
no longer competed for?” This, of course, intimated that
the public was wise to the reason Garden officials announced
very early that there would be no defense of the title by
Braddock next June.
Summing the whole thing up, it is evident that the
Garden appreciates the fact that the championship, held
by Braddock, is figuratively no more than the “scrap of
paper” so freely talked of in international affairs, as long
az Louis is on the loose. ’
A championship battle staged by them drew less than
$300,000 at the gate. Three months later, the same city
gave up $1,000,000 for the privilege of seeing ANOTHER
man fight one of the two who were implicated in that
titular brawl. And in this second affair NO TITLES were
involved. Jacobs has this OTHER man’s signature to an
agreement which prenibits his fighting for anyone else
until after 1940. Is there any wonder the Garden woke up?
On their side of the fence was a man with the tifle belt.
On the other side of the fence was a man with public
opinion in his favor. And of all the nitwit ideas I've heard
in my day, the notion that public opinion means nothing
to the man in the public eye is the silliest.
To inconsequential me and others equally as unimpor-
tant as I, the sentiment of the public doesn’t matter a darn.
It can’t sway my individual life. But to one who depends
on the people to “come up and lay their sheckles on the line”
what and how they think bears watching. The Garden
and Braddock know this.
It may be true that the Brown Bomber could campaign
so successfully WITHOUT the championship, that he may
not be helped any by this merger. It may be that he can
mal® more money WITHOUT the title. It is no secret
that should Louis win the belt from Braddock (much of this
is based on the presumption that the reconciliation between
the Ggrden and Twentieth Century means a match between
Braddock and Louis eventually) he will be handicapped.
As a challenger, or “uncrowned champion” as some
would have it, Joe can fight here, there and everywhere,
today, tomorrow and Sunday, But immediately he be-
comes the champ, worth while opponents will be so scarce
that his ring battles will be few and far between.
But Mike Jacobs, we must remember, is a veteran of
the Tex Rickard era. He seems to have the uncanny knack
of knowing “just what they want and how they want it
cooked.” He thinks in terms of money, eats with thoughts
of money and sleeps with dreams of money.
Just as Madison Square Garden has thought out every
angle of the thing and agreed that they will benefit by the
tie-up, Jacobs and his Twentieth Century band have done
some calculating. The latter probably feel that it would
be better to split the proceeds from five $800,000 fights than
to keep all of ten $200,000 ventures.
You know there's always that element of “chance” a-
sound which promotion of even a street-corner brawl
evolves.

charges that Blackburn, whom he
only knew as “Joe Louis's train-
er” was the aggressor and that in
the initial battle was worsted. Be-
coming incensed at losing the
fight he further charges that
Blackburn left and returned with
a gun and fired at him and his
wife. He returned the fire and in
the exchange of shots Houser and
little Miss Cannon were. struck.
Enoch Houser, one of the vic-
tims is in Provident Hospital
where his condition has been pro-
nounced as grave, the bullet enter-
ed the chest about three inches
over the heart, Hope was express-
ed, however, that he would be able
to “pull through.” He is one of
the first graduates of Tuskegee In-
stitute, having graduated in the
class of 1889, when Booker T.
Washington in addition to serving
as principal of the institution was
teaching the Senior class.
Child Not Badly Hurt
He is a printer by profession,
but due to infirmities has not been
working. In fact, according to his
son, Everett Houser, also a srad-
uate of Tuskegee Institute, Mr.
Houser was going for his custo-
mary afternoon walk when the ac-
cident occurred. F
Lucy Cannor is the niece of
Alvin J. Neely, registrar of Tus-
kegee and was in company with
several other children returning
home from play. She was felled
by the bullet but her condition
was not declared serious at the
hospital where she was rushed for
treatment.

THE wi.
SOLDIERS FIELD, Chicago—
In a hectic battle in which a lone
field goal in the third quarter turn-
ed the tide of victory, Tuskegee
Institute defeated "Wilberforce
3 to 0 and evened the count in
their perennial feud. The Tigers’
victory ran their wins to two, the
Ohioans have copped two ’ and
three games have ended in ties.
It was Charles Smith a rangy
end who hails from Miami, Florida
whose talented toe sent the ball
spinning through the center of the
crossbar to administer to the Green
Wave its first defeat this season
and at the same time preserve the
unblemished 1935 record of Coach
Cleve Abbott's Golden Tigers
"Force Effort Fails
In the dying moments of the
game, with Tuskegee’s back to the
wall, Wilberforce made its might-
iest bid for a touchdown, bvi their
greatest effort failed when the
final pistol barked out the end
with the pigskin resting on the
‘Tuskegee’ one foot line and a sec-
ond down “coming up.”
It was a great moment for the
fans, with the rooting sections of
both tears standing on their toes
to witness one of the most hair-
raising finales in the history of
the annual classic.
Losers Lack Punch
Although the records show that
Wilberforce had eleven ‘first
downs to Tuskegee’s ix, the Buck-
eye Bounders lacked that needed
punch when they neared the “pay
dirt” territory. :
Thrice they drove the ball to
within the shadow of the goal post,
but thrice they failed to push the
pigskin across. The big Green team
lacked the drive which they dis-
played in beating Kentucky State
last Saturday and ‘cowed contin-
uously before the terrific on-
slaught of a batiling Tuskegee for-
ward wall.

CHICAGO —Captain R. S. Dar-

representatives of Tuskegee In-
stitute and Wilberforce University
respectively, have at last made
their belated yearly visit to Chi-
cago where they plan the fifth re-
vival of the annual Soldiers’ Field
Classic, Tuskegee versus Wilber-
force.
These gents are mighty friend-
ly, courteous, good-natured, ete.,
when they first get here, for they
have a cause in common, i.e., the
coralling of a sufficient number of
paying customers inside the walls
at historic Soldiers’ Field for the
game on Saturday, October 19-
But two minutes before game
time, their aspect changes and
they are just a couple of school
boys in rival institutions pulling
for their respective schools to win
and ready to.be at each other's
throats if it would put touchdowns
across the goal line
This year the game should at-
tract more fans than it has in the
past. The reasen: Chicago is
growing more football conscious,
what with certain high schoo's
here using Negroes on the teams,
and with black boys skirting the
ends, or cutting off the tackles in
the Big Ten and elsewhere.
Five years ago you'd be pressed
to get a thousand real, honest-to-
goodness football fans of the race
out to see Notre Dame and Har-
vard, They just weren't interest-
ed in the sport. You see Chicago
has been noted for its support of
baseball and of baskethall, but

GREENSBORO.—The A. and T.
College Bulldogs went hunting for
whatever could be caught, Satur-

from St, Paul were the victims.
Led. by ‘the splendid kicking and
passing of co-captain Norman and
the hard running drives of co-cap-
tain McClain, and Graham, the Ag-
gies scored an impressive victory
over the visitors. Never once did
the Tigers offer any serious threat

closed out with a 28-0 victory,
The Aggies allowed the Tigers
to make only one first down and
25 yards as a result of rush while
the Aggies themselves made 216

DUNBAR GRIDDERS
OUTPOINTED BY
BATES ELEVEN
Dunbar High School lost _its
third straight football game Fri-
day when Bates High School of
Annapolis, Md, handed the Poets
a 18-0 defeat,
The Maryland boys, using all
sorts of fake plays, outplayed the
Poets and had run up 12 points
when the first quarter came to an
end. A few moments after the
contest got underway, Phelps,
plucky little quarterback of the
Marylanders, got away for a 40-
yard sorint, carrying the bal
down to Dunbar’s 5-yard__ line
where Diggs went over for a
touchdown. A place kick failed to
add the extra point.
Runs 70 Yards
Before the crowd could get set
tled in their seats, Phelps took
the kickoff and ran the ball back
70 yards through the entire Dun-
bar team for another touchdown.
Again another place kick was
smeared. Near the close of the
fourth quarter, Bates scored again
when Diggs heaved a 40-yard pass
to Ricks, who caught the oval be-
hing Dunbar's goal for a touch-
down. A line play failed to add
the extra point.

YOUNG CO-WRITERS SMASH MUSIC HIT
BY FRANKLIN FRAKK
CHICAGO (ANP)—To the hefty
crown of laurres already won by
Ruble ("Skid") Blakey, juvenile
star and emcee at that famous Chicago
Congo rendezvous, Dave's
Cafe, add that of composer. Along
with Leonard Reed, producer,
Skid has just authored "Smile Up
at the Sun." a haunting tune that
seems destined, with proper ex-
ploitation, to be one of the season's smash meodics. It was given
its maiden airing last Tuesday
night on the spur of the moment,
and the patrons went wild
However, those who know Skid are not surprised at anything this 26 year old youth does. He chicked in his very first job as chorus boy at the Regal Theatre in 1926 From there Blakey went to the Grand Terrace where he sang his first song, "That Wonderful Something in Love." The Roseland ballroom also acclaimed him. Next Ruble joined the Three Pods of Pepper that toured the Fanchon and Marco circuit, breaking up in 1928. Skid then turned to the emcee trail, blazing at the Caso Loma, El Rado, Ritz (now Dave's) where he incidentally, put in the first colored floor show.
Trekking east, Blakey became juvenile with Reed's "Rhythm Band," and later worked at the Memphis Club in Philly; Hi Do Ho, Morgezlan, Comedy and Lenox Clubs in Baltimore and the Cotton Club in Washington. Organizing his own band, he toured Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio. Later he was a vocalist with Carroll Dickerson's orchestra. At present he is booked to open a very exclusive club in Los Angeles next month, the name of the club being as yet unannounced. It's our prediction that soon after he reaches the West Coast, Hollywood will grab him.

"Diamond Jim"
Edward Arnold Jean Arthur
"Diamond Jim" the colorful, romantic screen biography of James Buchanan Brady, the man who made the gay nineties gay, will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre for an entire week beginning Friday. The life of the man who wore two million dollars worth of diamonds, who spent $100,000 on a single party, who was the confidence of statesmen and bank presidents—but who would drink nothing stronger than orange juice because he had promised his mother—is one of the most fascinating in history. Arnold, who heads the cast, actually resembles Diamond Jim, the man who asked Lillian Russell to marry him and offered her a million dollar dowry—who made and lost fortunes while selling and manufacturing railroad equipment.
Supporting him are Jean Arthur, Binnie Barnes as "Lillian Russell", Cesar Romero, Hugh O'Connell, George Sidney, Eric Bore, Robert McWade and many other noted players, including a bevy of chorus girls of the nineties The story opens with Diamond Jim's birth in 1856 and carries on to his death after a full and colorful life. His cleverness, in getting his first important job, in putting over million dollar deals, and his prodigality in giving $160,000 narties, all are shown as the colorful picture of life in the days of his career is unfolded. Many months were spent in the production of "Diamond Jim" to insure it's correctness in every detail.

Remember the brat in "Bright Eyes" who imitated a machine gun, told tales on Shirley Temple, tried to run her down with a doll carriage and proved herself a complete annoyance?

with the reputation for being the meanest boy in the movies. There's a swell clash when these youngsters get together
You'll enjoy the manner in which the talented little orphan Jane, denied the love and care of a mother and father, herself looks after O. P. Heggie, gives him lectures, loves him, defends him and keeps house for him. When Jane is taken into the Park Avenue home of the pampered Jackie Searl, trouble is certain to follow and it does.
"Bright Eyes" appears at the Booker T. Theatre a week beginning Friday.
Republic
"Dante's Inferno"
Spencer Tracy
Claire Trevor
"Dante's Inferno," a deathless tale of purgatory and one of the most startling dramas ever produced will be the attraction at the Republic Theatre for one week beginning Friday.
There are scenes of unmatched spectacle and soul-stirring sights that leave one breathless in their mighty sweep. The thrilling adventure of Dante in his journey through the Inferno as recorded in the greatest of all literary classics, is picturized for the first time on the talking screen as an expression of a modern story theme, and becomes one of the greatest spectacles ever attempted.
The screen plays the drama of a modern transgressor which utilizes the symbolism of hell, as expounded in the Dante classic, to illustrate its theme. It provides for an amazingly graphic pictorial

reproduction of that great spectacle in a sequence in which a kindly character and devotee of Dante's work Henry B Walthall, reads the classic to the principal character, Spencer Tracy, in an effort to make him see the error of his ways and visualizes for him, drawing his images from the engraved illustrations in the book, the story of Dante's grim experience and the spirit of his philosophy.
The modern angle of the film which has Claire Trevor in the leading feminine role, is closely linked with the spirit and atmosphere of its spectacular para'le, the story of Dante—both presenting the same moral, "the sins of yesterday are the sins of today, and human nature doesn't change."

Ambling About Among Amusement Artists
The biggest bit of theatrical news to hit these shores broke in New York Tuesday morning with the arrival of none other than the very famous Josephine Baker.
Miss Baker landed to take part in a Shubert production of the "Follies," to be presented under the name of Flo Ziegfeld's widow. A very prominent part will be taken by Miss Baker in the production, although her popularity in Harlem will be questioned because of a recent statement attributed to her wherein she is alleged to have said that Mussolini was right in his invasion of Ethiopia, and a lot of balderdash in the same vein.
Whether Miss Baker, whose fealty to the Duce springs from the fact that her husband is an Italian count, brought her better half with her, is not known. However, since he is her business manager, he will doubtless arrive eye long.
Clvde Barrie, the well-known young baritone to whom Paul Robeson has frequently referred as one of the great Negro singers, will be heard in another of his well-known programs over the Columbia Broadcasting System on Saturday from 10:15 to 10:30 a.m.
Barrie will sing a group of swampland songs bearing the colorful title "Trouble," by Rozert MacGimsey; "I Must Down to the Seas Again," by John Denmore; "Dawn," by Pearl Curran, and "Lolita," by Euziz Peccia. Barrie will be accompanied by Sidney Paphael, who will play Scarlatti's "Bouree in B Minor" as a solo.
Have you ever wondered how recording orchestras got those smooth effects?
Let me relay to you a description of a recording made the other day. We'll take Teddie Wilson and his recording orchestra. The other day they arrived at the recording studio about two in the afternoon, and there had been very little preparation and few dots written. They studied the piano-song copies. A more or less straight chorus of one number. After that came the vocal chorus, two or three solos, mostly sixteen bars long, and a last half-chorus similar to the opening refrain.
John Hammond sprinted from studio to control room, suggested that the guitar and bass go a little closer to one of the two microphones, and warned the boys to get ready for a trial run-through. A test went on a record. The playback came through the loudspeaker. The boys looked at each other auspiciously. Traces of raggedness here and there, and certain emptiness during the solos. They continue this trial run-through and playback until each section in the band gets its quota of rhythm up to par. After that they start on their master, and usually the second one of the masters gets it. A third one is usually made for safety.
A favorite Negro spiritual, "Did My Lord Deliver Daniel?" will be featured by the Oleander Quartet when they are heard over the WABC-Columbia network today (Thursday), from 3 to 3:15 p.m. The quartet will also offer the popular "I'm in the Mood for Love"; the hit tune, "Ol Man River," from "Show Boat"; the humorous number, "Two Flies," and, as the concluding song, 'Oh Morn of Beauty.'
Bill Robinson headed for the coast, Sunday, to take a serious part for the first time in his 85-year career in Fox's "Abraham Lincoln, Jr." His part requires him to play straight, sams the dancing.
This cinema will be Bojangles's second of a new four-picture deal arranged with the studio last week. His first was in support of Shirley Temple in "Little Rebel." This report confirms the statement that sepians are gradually making headway out in the movie colony.
A flash from Warner Brothers states that Paul Robeson will be in the role of "Do Lawd" in the film version of Marc Connellery's celebrated stage play, "Green Pastures." The author will direct and adapt the screen version of the play.
Etta Moten is mentioned as a possible performer in the role of Jezebel.
So—neither Al Jolson nor Mickey Mouse got the coveted role.
Iving Mills, president of Mills Artists, Inc., which organization controls the destinies of many of America's greatest orchestras, is listening with interest to an offer that would, if consummated, send Duke Ellington and his famous orchestra on an extensive tour of the major concert halls in the United States. Talk about your thumbnail descriptions! Here's one we found, without signature, in our newshuntuz "No one can turn on the heat on a hot number line" Cab Calway.

Johnny Mack Brown
Framed in exquisite views of mountain, plain and waterfall, scenery delighting the eyes of every nature-lover, move rapidly the thrilling Western sequences of "Branded a Coward," starring Johnny Mack Brown, which comes to the Dunbar Theatre on October 26, 27, 28.
With historical fidelity the picture depicts a rough Age when men died with their boots on The Wild West followed the Old West. The latter period vanished with the passing of the buffalo, the trappers and the fur barons. After that was the era of the great migrations across the continent, of the gold strikes in California, the era of Indian war, range cattle and the final settlement.
It may seem strange that the West was called Wild, only after white settlements were established there. But there was good reasons why those frontier communities, over one of which the hero of "Branded a Coward" is called to rule as a gun-fighting marshal, came within such a classification.
For the Wild West offered the spectacle of an old culture collapsing in chaos amid a riot of the

Luther moves about the village silently but effectively....Roberta Chavers has given up her business interest in the "Yeah Man Shop" and returned to her First Street address.

"No Brickbats allowed—nec, as a race don't need th' darn things."
By WILLIAM (Wiggles) THOMAS
George Walker the artist, has laid down his case, and brush. Yes, but the lad is not a quitter. He has taken unto himself a partner. Billie Roberts, the banjoist, and the two boys have become night club barons. Reviving the Crys al Caverns. A fast moving show is being presented. One would bill it, "The Battle O' th' Sexes," with such "tops" entertainers as charming voluptuous Henrietta "Mingo" Ashby and Louis (?) Diggs heading the show. Loads of luck to you chaps. You're truly rocketeers now.
A missive from the mail bag—Yeh, and what does it reveal? That Miss Rebecca Curley, a caseworker in the F.E.R.A. can not be beaten when it comes to sweetness of disposition and consideration of her clients. It has been written that this Curley person, weighs every matter thoroughly and does her "dratin" best to right every wrong. I'm to present a covege of Orchids $t_0$ a truly beautiful character.
Orchids—a whole hand full. To the Progressive Press Club. The members of this wide awake, up n'-doing club, have acquired a club house somewhere between the Hilton and Bannue Center and it is to be the future home of the Progressive Consumer Magazine Maybe I should offer a teeny weeny Orchid bud to T. Dupont Georges, the power behind the Progressive Consumers League.
We gotta hand it to ya DuBie. It isn't every day that you return to desh ole "Dee Cee" n' when you come, we naturally welcome you, but my boy, pray tell us, how long did it take you to think up this beautiful, novel and quite the most entertaining way of presenting yourself. I swear to ya boy, it is the "she's". You have spoiled your hom, "fokes" completely now so I suggest that you remember your stagecraft n' lots have uts.
Just Gotta Tell Ya—That Pansey Williams is "Branded" quits efficient in the office where she works. That Vernon Jones and Henry Williams are working vely hard—ducking work. That Joshua Hyman is back on the Progressive Consumer Magazine, and Beene Anderson's story "He Dons Her Right" broke in same last month. That Mozelle Barnes has a birthday this month n' a party will be thrown in for good measure. That chicken can be had at the Chicken Shack and Beer at the Brewery—Mercy Percy! Didn't you know?—That Mildred Butler thinks I'm the biggest lier in town n'——I am. So I'll tell you about that miserable week-end that "Chick" Webb blabbed about, Yae it was like dis——. I was walking along, attending to my own business, but I admit that my mind was miles away and I didn't see or hear the back of that table.
—if he honked. Anyway, all of a sudden somethin' happened 'n' I found myself being picked up, by an observer and being cursed by a vely nasty mouthed cabby. Oh, th' nawty words that he knew. He explained that I was a blind (censored). But for some reason I couldn't exactly see it his way 'n' so I resented it very much. I explained that if he were to get out of his cab, and as long as I hadn't been hurt beyond the extent of a bruised hip, we might be able to compromise on all that he insisted that I was. He got out and Gad but he was big. So I retreated to a nearby milk crate and extracted one (pint) milk container with which I hoped to perform a tattoo on the fellow's scalp. In other words—dent his dome. But—as luck would have it, my have neglected to describe, was also a gigantic fellow and didn't particularly care to see me killed. I was already bungeled up from the accident or purpose or whatever you'd call it. Anyway the dear chap didn't see the need of me rushing to my doom so he stepped in to protect (tine cabby). He pointed or tried to point out that it was no use of fighting, that he, the cabby, couldn't possibly win but for some reason he, yeah, the cabby, couldn't see it that way and proceeded to rearrange the position of my chin, much to my regret and to the disgust of my good friend. No, he didn't like it he begin mixing "up a little stuff" with the driver of the first automobile in the case. They fought like the conventional felines and cannies and I was so thrilled to have a battle fought for me until I just had

to use my milk container. The driver was tough and I wondered how long I would have lasted if my friend had been at home, or in the movies, at the dentist or anywhere but right where he was, doing just what he was. Yes, I did wonder and I got mad as I did so for I realized that I was proving myself an ungrateful pig so I picked my chance, snacked up behind the tough cabby and let him have it, right on the caput. Gawd but his head was hard but that lick was heard round his world for he rushed madly, very madly to his cab. That should have been enough but no, I had reached the milk crate and had procured a (quart) bottle. This time I decided not to hold it but to toss it for I had not much time before he reach his cab. Well, I tossed and the dirty xz?³¹ ducked. Thereby allowing the second bottle in the case to sail by unmolested and to enter the windshield of the second automobile in the case. Now to make this vely, vely short story shorter—The only cabby in the case got away with the only headache in the case in the only cab in the case. The first cup in the case pounded up from "Out of Nowhere." 'n' I was heaved into the hoosegow. To remain for better or for worse. But—I got out of it 'n' I've cursed the guy who leaves milk bottles on the outside of his store. If it hadn't been for him I wouldn't be outs eleven bucks 'n' I could afford a lil snort. —"Wiggles."
The Younger Set
By DANIEL PARKER
Again this scribe takes his pen and endeavors to write about the younger set. My good friend Morris Murray, is away, but his memories still finger on a certain coed of Dunbar. Anyway he still writes her.
Many events have occurred since last school year. For instance, Nat Dixon is not thinking of Ruth Coleman any more but is thinking seriously of two little chicks at Dunbar. When the cat is away the mouse will play.
Harry Davis is not thinking of Alma Hall any more but has his mind on Francis Pinkett. John Hurd is still with his little Thomasine Hightower. Alicia Lumbre is out early getting a line on an armband prospect. Who will it be this time? Remembr Alicia, you can't jibe all. Maude Brown why don't you make up your mind as to whom you want to jibe and stop jibing all the young men.
Last week my good friend, the Black X, predicted that the Bison football team would win by less than four touchdowns. He only missed it by six touchdowns because Virginia State made two touchdowns and the local boys nothing.
The dance on the hill Saturday was too much. The coeds at Dunbar find that the local high school boys can not afford to escort them to the big affairs, therefore they try to get a hill topper as an escort. Maybe Alvin Lee can tell you

more about this situation
Can you feature Donald Stewart trying to jibe three girls at the same time? At a party last Friday, Donald danced all evening with two local girls while Helen Johnson was warming the bench. Samuel Bailey will you please stop playing tag with Helen Lankford and treat her nice? You will never miss her until she is gone. Many members of the younger set will be at the "tacky party" on October 31, given by, Marguerite Garner and Helen Lanford. Luke Walker is telling the girls that he is a football player. Maybe he thinks so, but Coach Pinderhughes thinks differently.
The Dunbar football team is greatly handicapped by inexperienced players, lack of equipment, and the lack of cooperation from the school'. These have accounted for some of the defeats of the team this year. In spite of these obstacles the team has vowed to fight until the end. Anyway. M. Pearson is still trying to be loval to the team. Is it because of Buddy Ford?
My good friend, Christine Taylor, is making a name for herself in the Y W.C.A. circles these days. Luck to you, my friend.
Joseph Robertson has worked up to two girl friends. I wonder if Ethel Robinson knows about this? Get hip to yourself, Ethel.
The students at Cardozo were wondering why Grace Anderson of that institution, was mourning last week but they soon found out that it was because Francis (Flat) Marshall was hurt in Baltimore last Friday. But it is not serious. The Rex Club is getting under way early this season with Mr. U. S. Bassit as the faculty advisor. The club is composed of senior boys only. John Hurd, a member of the Honor Society, was elected president. The club is planning to give a dance in the Dunbar Armory some time soon. It is rumored that Joseph Overton is planning to take on to himself a wife. Joe states that the young lady will be Miss Maria Mills.
This year the interest seems to be high as the inter-city series approach. The schedule for the coming series is: Monday, November 11, Dunbar vs. Cardozo; November 1, Cardozo vs. Armstrong, and November 25, Armstrong vs. Dunbar. All games are supposed to be played at the Griffith Stadium.
All news for this column must be sent to the Washington Tribune before Friday p.m. The Just So Pals are giving a dance Fridday night at 1321 Wallach Place.

The amount of money coming from each bride respectively were: $28, $2.25, $2.30 and $7.75. Mrs. Hattie Wright who brought the highest amount won a prize of $5.

Random Thoughts of a Fellow Scribe.
This week, Willie Mason is the guest columnist for this column and gives the latest done on folks about town. Well here goes... Cardozo is said by many to have a stronger team than Dunbar. While looking over the records, I find that in spite of the fact Cardozo lost to Manassas, the Clerks out-played their rivals. If records mean anything, someone had better tell the Poets to put on their boots. ...I wonder if those two ladies of Tech, V. H. of Anacostia and B. G. of Florida Avenue are the same down in the remote corners of their hearts as they are on top. Latch on?... I just can't see why Gable Delaney lets other boys jibe his girl-friend, G. Primose, at the dance, Friday. Zoo!".
The Whole Town's Talking!
Did you notice Joe Overton at the Battle of Music, Friday nite? Well, button up your collars and get a load of this. It seems that the young man is to get hooked, as rumors roll around, to Marie Mills of S Street, sometime in December. Why not make it Christmas, Joe? Notice that he is getting ready since he secured a job driving for one of the local stores. But let's give the young man a big hand, he will need one. Heh! ... And talking about Cupid stabbing my fellow columnist in the heart, along comes another rumor about Richard "Jeddy" Tompkins of O Street. You may not have heard it but it is said that he will follow Joe's example during the same week to Martha H... A double murder or either a double wedding!

That two chicks are not enough for William W. because he has a third chippy to complete the triangle. Wonder what would happen if he only had one match?

Now girls, that is a real man in the game of football. Nat Dixon of Kingman Park at last has his mind at ease. Now that Ruth C., former Dunbar coed, is in college, the young man has no fear of Samuel Poole walking home with her in the rain now. It is known that she sent one of the boys a letter and the other a postcard. Now Jack, the boys in Kingman Park want to know who received the postcard.
Edward Fagin was seen at the football game in Anacostia with Lillie MacFarland. Now men, the question is, what will Reds M. think?... John Jones tried to put something over on the boys when he tried to jibe Mattie Archer at

Ans.: A child will bring you much joy. Go to the orphan's home in your city and talk this matter over with the matron there. They can easily arrange for you to adopt a boy.
C. L. T.—Just where does my husband go when he is out so late at night?
Ans.: The men friends of your husband's come by for him in their cars and they run around flirting and having a good time, and usually there are some other women in the crowd. A change of location should remedy this. These men have a bad influence over your husband.
A. C. B.—I have an idea as to how to make some money and I want to know if it is worth while?
Ans.: Your idea is a very good on. A small farm with a resort which adjoins it should bring in a fairly good income providing you have the right location.
A.L.B.W.—If I make the trip I have in mind will it be a successful one?
Ans.: By all means take this trip. I am happy to predict that if you do you'll receive part payment on your salary. This trip will be enjoyable as well as worth while.
V. H.—I am very much in love with a man and I want to know if I can win him? Should I tell him I love him?
Ans.: By all means don't tell this man you are in love with him for that will just scare him off. It is perfectly all right for you to go with him for he has a lot of respect for you and shows you many good times, but he is too old to

NEW YORK (ANP) — Once again the name of Caspar Holstein featured the news columns of the daily papers, when last week he was arraigned in Washington Heights court on a charge of maintaining a gambling place at 111 West 136th Street. A raiding party entering the place declared that twenty-two gambling tables were in operation at the time. The men taken were dismissed by the magistrate, as was Mr. Holstein

R. M. K.—Please tell me what to
do? My mother worries so much.
Ans.: Your mother appears to be somewhat nervous, and many little things you do get on her nerves, even though they don't amount to anything. Be a little more considerate of her feelings, and be more care what you do and say when you are around her.
H. E.—Do you think I will get what I am expecting any time soon?
Ans.: I am happy to predict that you will get what you are expecting, for before long you will receive some very important papers. They will be a big help to you.
W. W.—What will I have to do to be a free man?
Ans.: It is my impression that you will have to remain in the institution of which you are an inmate your full time. You won't be free until your term is served.
J. B.—I want to know if the girl still cares for me?
Ans.: There seems to be someone else in this girl's life now although she still thinks about you. Your girl friend feels that it is hopeless to continue waiting on you.
E. J.—Will it cause any trouble in my home if I take the trip I have in mind?
Ans.: There is no harm in going off on a trip for one day only and there is hardly anything they could say to you at home. A day spent at Atlantic City will be an interesting one and well worth any trouble that will arise.
T. W.—Do you think there will be a marriage for me any time soon?
Ans: No—Even though you are in love with a certain boy, it seems that you will remain with your guardian until he is able to walk again, or at least until she improves. That's the only decent thing for you to do.

A man, a dog, a pipe and other things are in the news as result of the man, the dog and the pine and other things. During the Monday session of the Western Police Court, William Benson, white, was fined $1 and costs on a charge of disorderly conduct. He was accused of training his dog to hold in his mouth, a pipe and to smoke it. This was a unique act, so Benson decided to stage it on a street corner. When a patrolman came along, the act was ordered stopped, but the principal player refused to quit and began to fling his own choice of words at the cop. He was escorted to the station and after his case was heard he paid his fine and withdrew silently.

CHARGED WITH POSSESSION
OF BOGUS MONEY
NEW YORK CITY. (ANP) Charged with possessing counterfeit $20 bank notes, John Hughes and Sam Levy were placed under arrest here Tuesday. Federal officers made the arrest at Hughes' apartment and declared that the bills were made from plates recently confiscated by government agents. Both men declared that the bills were given them in payment of a $300 wager and that they did not know they were counterfeit. Little credence was put in the story told by Hughes, because records showed that he had served prison sentences for the passing of bogus money before and also for swindling.

ETHEL HARVEY IS WINNER OF TYPING TEST FOR NOVICES
Beginner Types at Amazing Speed of 99 Words Per Minute
Miss Ethel Harvey, 627 Harvard Street, Northwest, broke all typing records for beginners by writing at the dazzling rate of 99 words per minute sustained speed with only one error after 30 days actual typing experience last Wednesday at the Peters School.
In March of 1935, Miss Ellen Kelley, broke the former record by typing 94 words per minute. It was thought this record would stand for years to come, only to be shattered by the brilliant performance of Miss Harvey, who was taperfect case while making her debut as a typist.
Second place was won by Miss Ann Allen, who wrote 87 words per minute.
Third place went to Miss Evelyn Williams Lewis, of New Jersey, with the speed of 86 words per minute.

WAR
(Continued from Page 9) Obaden Province from Italian Somaliland, Dejazmatch Nassibou, commanding Emperor Haile Selassie's southern armies, announced today.
The decision to attack following a conference of chiefs at Nassibou's rude, white-washed headquarters here, and formal charges, including a report to Emperor Haile Selassie by an American medical missionary of Italian atrocities.
The general attack order apparently does not mean any mass offensive by the Ethiopians but rather an intensification of their guerrilla tactics and a determination to hold front-line fortified positions, such as those around Garrabai—about 200 miles to the southeast—with every resourse at their command.
To Continue Guerrilla War
All the chieftains who attended the defense conference seemed confident that the Italian advance from the south can be retarded indefinitely by a continuation of the guerrilla tactics.
The first panicky fear caused by Italian air raids and alleged chemical attacks seems to have disappeared.
Nassibou ordered the general offensive at 4 p.m. Monday. Runners immediately were dispatched with the command to attack to all field leaders in the front-line areas far to the southeast.
Earlier in the day scouts had reported that the Italians invaders had gained only 20 kilometers along the Ogaden front after 11 days of their mechanized attack, during which airplanes dropped thousands of bombs.
Morale High
The morale of the Ethiopian troops continued high and it was indicated their successful resistance in the extreme front lines had given everyone new confidence. So successful has been the initial Ethiopian resistance that Nassibou believed his long-talkeu-of "decisive battle" will be delayed indefinitely. He still insists he will not throw his reserves into action until the Italians reach more favorable ground, nearer Jipiga.
Meanwhile, airplanes from Assab, 300 miles north of here in Italian Eritrea, reconnoitered the Issa territory, causing another air raid scare in Harar. The city was calm, however, in decided contrast with the panic of the last scare—when the whole town, including the army and police force, fled wildly into the hills.
Careful instructions were given the people after the scare last week

and they proved effective. Motor trucks ready to depart for the advance lines, laden with soldiers and their women and equipment, were rolled under trees. The people, under guidance of the police, ran in orderly fashion into their shelters. Proof that the Italians are using dum-dum bullets was also noted. These vicious bullets have long been outlawed by civil countries in warfare.

Mr. Clarke stated to The Tribune this week that his wife was in her yard when the brick came over a back fence and almost struck her. She went into the house and Mr. Hayes came out. He heard a door slam. He could not accertain the direction from which the missile came or who threw it.
Mr. Clarke said that police have promised extra protection on Halloween night when persons are more prone to damage property and he fears that some of the white neighbors may take advantage of the holiday to wreck the property.

High Court Will Hear Miss Torture Case
The United States Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear argument in the case of Brown, Ellington and Shields versus the State of Mississippi. This is the famous Mississippi "torture case" which one justice of the Mississippi supreme court declared "worse than the Scottsboro case."
Ed Brown. Yunk Ellington and Henry Shields were convicted last year in Kemper county. Miss., on a charge of murdering Raymond Stewart, a white tenant farmer. The conviction was based upon a "confession" which was secured only after almost unbelievable torture had been inflicted upon *the three men*. Ellington not only was beaten, but was strung up with a noose repeatedly until his neck was permanently injured..There was said to be no evidence directly connecting the three men with the murder.
CASSELL
(Continued from Page 1)
twenty-year building program for Howard University, which was approved by the PWA administrator, Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior Department. The program outlined by Cassell included dormitories for men, a new educational building, heating plant, chemistry building, library, and other improvements. All of the buildings have either been erected or are under construction with the exception of the library. Cassell was the architect for all of them. The appointment of Robinson and Williams as architects for the dormitories came as a distinct surprise to those who knew of Cassell's connections with the university and his ability.
Robinson, Howard Prof
Robinson, the Washington member of the firm of Robinson and Williams, is on leave of absence from the university and is employed by the government as consultant to the Resettlement Division and principal in the Interior Department.
He has been in this position for two and one-half years. Before being loaned to the government he was in charge of the Department of Architecture at Howard University and associate professor. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University and the University of Berlin.
He refused to comment on the awarding of the contract and stated that he had not been officially notified of the award.
Williams, the other firm member, is in Los Angeles where he has offices. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California.
Prexy Gets Secretary
The buildings will be erected on the site located on Sixth Street, between Girard and Fairmont Streets, Northwest.
The Board of Trustees approved the recommendation of the executive committee that an executive secretary to the president be appointed to assist in the heavy duties of that office. The person to fill this position has not yet been designated.
The president presented his report for the year ending June 30, 1935, which occurred after the last meeting of the board. Attention was called to the fact that the year 1934-35 was the fourth of the ten years involved in the ten-year program of physical development approved by the government. The university is closely approaching the achievement of several of the objectives set up for the first five years of this program.
The enrollment of the university last year showed an increase of 17.3 per cent over the previous year. Report was also made that the instructional staff of 241 persons representing a full-time equivalent of 156 teachers was approximately adequate for the student body. Excessive teaching hours and class numbers have been reduced to a minimum.
Income Increased
The president also reported that, with steady and successful steps made possible primarily by the careful use of private funds, the University has gradually advanced toward the salary objectives provided for full-time teachers in the ten-year program.
A comprehensive survey of each and every department of the nine schools and colleges was submitted along with a report on the present library facilities of the university.
The income of the university from all sources was increased during the year by a gross sum of $474,323, of which $36,740 represented an increase in current funds. Expenditures were carefully budgeted and the finances were kept in balance with a surplus of income over expenditures.

The board designated T. L. Hungate, chairman; Dr Mordecai W. Johnson, president; C. C. Spaulding, Dr. Walter G. Crump, and Dr. Jacob H. Billikopf, trustees, to represent it at the inauguration of Dr. Frederick D. Patterson, as third president of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Alabama, to be held Monday, October 28.

The walkout of the editor and 14 reporters seriously handicapped the paper in getting out its issue of October 12. The Newspaper Guild of New York is dominated by Reds who seek to destroy the paper, Mrs. Davis said in a statement on the front page of the Amsterdam News, leading Negro weekly.
The following is a part of the statement issued by Mrs. Davis: "An organization, calling itself the Newspaper Guild of New York, is attempting to make public enemies for The Amsterdam News. "It's openly asserted aim is to destroy The Amsterdam News by causing it to suspend publication and go out of business, after twenty-five years of service to this community.
"If this sinister purpose could be achieved by this organization it would destroy the leading advertising medium for business in Harlem.
"It would also take away the medium of livelihood, in whole or in part, for more than 600 people.
"Most of those picketing for the Guild are open and avowed Communists—notably, Ben Davis, editor of the Communist Liberator; Miss Lewis, who recently returned from Russia on a trip taken at the expense of the Russian government; T. R. Poston, president of the colored chapter of the Guild and former editor of The Amsterdam News. Also Mr. Moon of the editorial staff, recently returned from a trip to Russia, the expenses of which were paid by the Russian government.
"True to the Communist purpose of destroying all capitalist enterprise, these people, in order to compel The Amsterdam News to keep on its payroll five persons whom it does not need and cannot continue to pay, and who, incidentally, happen to belong to their union, are trying to put The Amsterdam News out of business and thus destroy the jobs of 272 other people whose only crime is loyalty to the institution which gives them a living."
Mrs. Davis began a retrenchment program which necessitated the dropping of five employees. Guild members objected to the dismissals and the strike followed.

Pages and pages of testimony were taken by the board from both sides, and numerous attempts to compromise were made by the club management, but each proposal was turned down by the steering committee of the citizens' group headed by Wilkinson.
Skinner proposed the use of the basement of the Masonic Temple, which houses the Cotton Club, for use as a boys' club, to be under the supervision of the Metropolitan Police Department. Police would necessarily be watching over the club. Skinner argued, as incidentally would be in close proximity to the Cotton Club, which would tend to minimize the noises that the citizens were complaining of.
Skinner, hearing of Hurwitz's statement, wrote Hurwitz resigning as representative of the Cotton Club employees.
Wilkinson Commended
In a recent letter to Wilkinson, George Offutt, white, chairman of the board, commended him for the manner in which he handled the citizens' side of the case, and advised him that the evidence he had submitted to the board would be very beneficial in helping them arrive at a decision.
Reached in his office at the university. Wilkinson declined to make a statement concerning the board's action.
"Since I have not been advised officially by the board of their action," Wilkinson said, "I believe it would be unethical for me to make a statement at this time."
Sitting in his drug store, Hurwitz holding a copy of the board's mandate in his hand, told the Tribune that he would close up his club luncheonette and drug store Tuesday, without protest to the District Commissioners, and would open up a club in the downtown neighborhood.
Hurwitz declared that the Alcoholic Board had made a race issue out of the affair, pointing to a statement in the Board's decision which said:
"Unfortunately licensee has catered to a mixed patronage, white and colored persons. The establishment is located in a neighborhood the residents of which are all colored."

COTTON CLUB
(Continued from Page 1)
Charges of the citizens' group were spurred when Jerome Johnstone, white, special investigator for the Alcoholic Board, visited the premises a few weeks ago and reported to the board that the regulations respecting the sale of alcoholic beverages were ignored, and that the club was being operated in a disorderly manner.
Hard Fight
The citizens, headed by Froderick D. Wilkinson, registrar of Howard University, put up a determined fight to have the licenses of the club revoked, charging that it was impossible for them to sleep after midnight because of the noises created by the patrons.
No Compromise
The proposal offered, which brought criticism from the board itself, was one offered by C. Lucien Skinner, representing himself as spokesman for the employees of the club.
Call "Preposterous"
The proposal was termed as preposterous by the Alcoholic Board, and Wilkinson, both declaring that "thinking parents" would not allow their children to frequent a club in a building which housed a night club. Following the refusal of the board to accept Skinner's proposal Hurwitz wrote to Wilkinson, advising that he had not authorized Skinner to represent either him or the employees of the club in any transaction.

PINKETT PROTESTS TRAFFIC LETTER
Calls Attention of Star to Article Reflecting on Negro Drivers
Archibald S. Pinkett, secretary of the D.C. Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in a letter to the Evening Star, last Wednesday, calls the paper's attention to an article in last Tuesday's edition by one J. M. H. McGahan. Declaring the article was calculated to reflect discredit upon Negro taxicab drivers, Mr. Pinkett aks the Star how its campaign for stricter observance of traffic rules can possibly be aided by the publication of such manifest racial bias.
Writes Author
In another letter to Mr. M. Hahan, 3610 Eighth Street, Northwest, Mr. Pinkett wrote:
"In reading your comments on the eight enumerated violations I noted that in the seventh you saw fit to introduce the question of race and color. This greatly weakens your entire article by putting into question your sincerity. A taxicab cutting a corner is a traffic menace no matter whether the driver be white or black. Why then state that the vehicles were driven by Negroes? Are you interested in the taxicab business against which these particular cabs are in competition, or, are you obsessed with a consuming hatred of Negroes?"

WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 26, 1935
We Must Not Fail
Washingtonians will be called on the week of November 11 to rally to the goal this year will be for about two cause of the Community Chest. The million dollars. Of this amount strictly Negro agencies receive in the neighborhood of $60,000. Many small agencies such as neighborhood houses would be unable to function if the funds from the Chest were withdrawn. Then there are any number of agencies such as the Associated Charities, Salvation Army, Children's Hospital and Emergency Hospital which render a large service to colored persons.
Negroes have not responded to the Chest campaign in past years as their number and means justify. Only a small proportion of government employees have given their quota. The larger number for some reason have not measured up to their responsibilities. This year the division among Negroes is headed by Col. West A. Hamilton. He is asking that every residene do his or her duty. Washington cannot afford to let Col. Hamilton down.
The stupid people, the dishonest newspapers, the bribers, the trustees of un-American colleges, the party hacks, the parlor pinks, the vulgar rich, the vicious poor, all ought to be run out of the country you and I are helping to build.
The Supreme Court and the Negro
With the same persistence that was used to prevent any interference with slavery before the Civil War, the Supreme Court of the United States seems to aim to stop any improvement in the status of the colored citizen today
In declaring that an organization in Texas could bar a citizen from participation in a primary election on the ground of his color, as that court did last Spring, after having advised the Texas organization how it could be done, in a prior decision, and refusing to take judicial notice that the State had been constantly Democratic since 1876, hence the primary was a virtual election, that court's action was more political than judicial.
And in sending Angelo Herndon back to serve 15 years on a Georgia chaingang, as it did recently, refusing to note that the defendant was acting under the sacred "right of petition," and that cruel and unjust punishments obtain in that section when persons of color are the victims, that august body has licensed the Ku Klux Klan to continue its persecutions without fear. We venture to suggest that this state of mind on the part of the highest court of the land will prove a weakening of the social structure erected here in the United States at so terrible a price, over so long a time. John Brown's body lies, and those bodies of other thousands lie moulding in the grave, but his soul and their souls go marching on. Nothing is settled until it is settled right.
No business man thinks he is inconsistent for starting buy-at-home campaigns in his town while stopping them in small neighborhood villages. And he isn't as a business man.
Political Action Against Political Evils
A direct result of the freedom guaranteed by the Constitution is the assumption of the responsibilities of citizenship. Discouragement should not overtake us because of the lag in numbers responding to this call to duty, nor to the slow progress of the realization of our ideals. It has been so through the ages of time. A few have been forced to win the battles for the many.
Laws to govern men must be enacted and enforced by human agents. In republican governments, those men must be chosen and elected. Many states do not have republican forms of government, but on the contrary are run by small groups or oligarchies. They elect a few officials who appoint many others, thus keeping themselves and their interests in power.
Lawyers are needed to guide and direct qualified citizens. A virile, honest and fearless leadership is necessary to acquaint the people with facts, abuses, projects and programs of action. Money is necessary to defray expenses, for nothing worth having is to be got for nothing. Schooling is basic to understanding the situations, and a consecrated organization must be kept together willing to fight when and as directed, even to death in stragetic movements. A fair and courageous press will bring the people into contact with each other. Each
of these factors calls for men and women who can and will play the part best suited to individual capacities and powers. Slowly the colored American citizen is recruiting these elements of his citizenship in the kind of game which is being played in this nation. By their votes they shall be known! Just in portion as they help to elect men and women who promise and perform what they promise, so shall we overcome the injustices, discriminations and low estate which characterizes our lot at this time, in this land of the free.
The Negro Employee And the White Union
Discusses Theory Involved in Amsterdam News-Newspaper Guild Feud.
We mean here to discuss this question in its general phases, although the present fight between the editorial department and the owners of the Amsterdam News in New York City is the occasion which furnishes us the inspiration to speak, and an example for illustration.
And we are not trying here to settle the particular and special questions and disputes between these employees and their employers,—as to whether those who are out were actually all "fired," as they claim, or whether they walked out in obedience to their union leaders because the owners proposed to reduce a top-heavy editorial staff by a pruning process, as the owners claim.
By accident we do have some knowledge even of these details, which would enlighten those who know nothing about it, but those are not the particulars that interest us for present purposes. Besides, it is well known that when two opposing parties go to war, as Italy and Ethiopia, neither side can be expected to speak the whole truth for the other—both will lie, or "exaggerate," which is the same thing.
Some Unions Fit Race
But let us see whether the workers in a strictly "Negro business" under the present conditions of the general segregation of the American Negro, can really be normal and full fledged members of a workers' union built around a "white" business. It is conceded that Negro carpenters can have a more nearly perfect unity with white carpenters, because Negro carpenters will have the whole field before them; they will work not only on Negro construction but on the construction of "white" buildings and projects, while the white carpenters, with whom they are uniting, will be privileged to work and will actually work on homes and other structures for the use of black people and that are being built often by black people's capital.
In short, both white and black carpenters may work for both white and black employers,—with some handicaps laid on the Negroes always and everywhere, of course, but nevertheless there will be theoretic and much practical unity among such workers of all races. We do not need to go into details about such work systems, in which the workers of all races can have a more nearly common cause.
We need only to mention: that Negro coal miners do not mine coal only for Negro consumption, nor are they confined to Negro-owned mines, nor do they work always in separate groups from white miners. They bear a racial handicap, which we all know well, but still have an important community of interests with the white workers. To be brief: such is the case also with Negro waiters, Negro cooks, Negro cleaners and dyers,—and with Negro and white workers in most of the industrial and commercial technology.
Negro Owners Handicapped
But there are certain other trades in which, because of racial facts and practices in the America of the past and present, the Negro worker works pre-eminently and almost exclusively among and for his own race, on a parallel but separate plane with the white workers in the same trade, and practically without competition, and therefore with a minimum community of interest.
Only in the widest sense of workers' interests, certainly not in strict trade interests, can such Negro workers bring their interests into a perfect unity and under a uniform governance with the white tradespeople, with out anomalous situations and difficult adjustments.
The editorial end of the Negro weekly newspaper is an almost perfect example of this anomaly and difficulty: If we have a newspaper writers' guild for white editors in New York City, for example, when a white person joins that guild, he opens a whole wide field of choice and privilege for himself: the Times, the Journal, the Evening Post, the News, and so on almost ad infinitum. Incidentally, he will work with the whole city as his market. White and colored and all others.
The editorial staff of the lone Negro paper, even if they join this guild in fiction, is never in it fact; they can work only on the Negro paper; they will write only for Negro consumption in their Negro paper, except for the few exceptions which emphasize the truth of the rule; the white guild members know that they are not even thinking of standing up for his right to work anywhere else except on the Negro paper. Perhaps there is but one Negro paper in the whole community, as is true in most communities, and but one Negro editorial staff in the entire guild. Even if there were several Negro publications in a community where they were several hundred white papers, it would only alter the conditions we are contemplating slightly in degree.
Need Broader Field
It is plain to see that the owners of the New York Times might be much less disturbed by signing on the dotted line to recognize some union of their employees which affected alike the editorial staffs of all the other papers of its class in the city, or in the entire East. In case of quarrel or disagreement with any employee in such a field, there is much more opportunity for negotiating a change and reaching an adjustment, than if, so to speak, the Times were being asked by its own employees, as the only organized group in the country, to sign up never to dismiss one of them without the consent of the others, and to practically turn the management of the paper over to the organized guild of its editorial staff and writers. When there are many other newspapers in the guild, on any of which the employees of
the Times may work, a disgruntled or dissatisfied employee will often seek employment elsewhere; on a lone Negro paper, with no privilege to go out and work on any of the white papers, even though he is theoretically in the white union, the dissatisfied Negro employee would only seek to overcome his employer by war, by strikes.
The owners of a Negro newspaper instinctively feel this threat—when their employees join up with a white union and ask the Negro owner to sign up.
In mere phrase and theory it all looks good: Negroes and whites in the same unions on the same verbal terms. Because of the conditioning of American segregation and trade limitations on colored workers, it is quite different for the Negro concern. The residential segregation ordinance all said: "Negroes shall not move into a white block, and whites shall not move into a Negro block."

That all sounded so fair and "equal."—until we considered the difference in the conditions: that in a given town there may be only ten "Negro blocks" while there were ten thousand "white blocks," so that the real effect of the law was to give each white home owner one thousand places to move into to the Negro's one place,—with a consequent disturbance of supply and demand in a way to raise the Negro's rent and the other costs of his living.
Should Seek to Lower Bars
Such a little Negro business that is distinctly a business by and for Negroes may join up with a white organization looking toward a distant future, but the fact is that for the present it is only in the back yard, out on the fringes of the circle of real interests. While the sun balances the eath the earth balances the sun, of course: but the little earth runs around in a great orbit of hundreds of million of miles holding its small end of the yard-stick, while the sun travels in a circle so small that the circumference of the solar orbits actually lies beneath the sun's surface. While the earth is swung by the sun, the sun is swung by the earth only theoretically, mathematically.
If the newspaper guild wishes to overcome this special handicap for the Negro, the guild must engage to fight for the Negro writer's employment by all the newspapers in the city and within the guild, and not simply for their employment on the "Negro" paper.
Otherwise the guild would add nothing to the opportunities and the welfare of the Negro race, but would serve only to create confusion in the weaker group—to cause the Negro newspaper writers to lose their jobs, or to cause the Negro community to lose its newspaper,—or, of course, to cause both losses at once.

To the Editor:
Please answer the following questions
through your paper:
What will the colored man do with his military education?
Does the demand for military knowledge warrant any extra effort on the part of the colored college student?
Is a commission in the Officer's Reserve Corps an asset to the colored college man's education?
Is there any reason why any male student, regardless of his race, who is physically able, should not take every advantage of military training offered in an institution where he is trying to acquire his college training?
As a father the above questions are asked in order that I may advise my son correctly who is about to take up his college career in an institution where military training is taught.

WHY FIGHT?
To the Editor:
What is this war that's on its way
That we read about day after day?
Nothing but war we hear them cry—
Bombs bursting in the deep blue sky;
Shells roaring over the desert land
The invasions of nations are at hand
The flaming of guns day and night
The cry of leaders "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Bullets flying from everywhere
Warriors falling here and there
Fighting their foe man to man
Strong and weak they all must stand
For God's old world they do fight
Fighting, fighting with all their might
From only bombs have they fled
Dropped by planes from overhead
But God is still reigning high above
And His worshippers he do love
And as the pastor has always read
And in the Good Book it is said
When all this fighting shall stop
The Ethiopians will be on ton.

The city forces had not arrived yet, and, from the conversation of the folk around him, Carl learned that intermittent fighting was still going on two or three blocks up.
Not caring to witness the actual combat, Carl returned to the safety of the rectory and his room. He would hear of any future developments. After dinner that evening Father John told him that the fighting had not ceased entirely but that he thought it would on the next day. That evening he amused himself by reading "Deep, Dark River" by Robert Rylee. He felt that Mr. Rylee had taken the title from the immortal spiritual "Deep, Dark River." Particularly significant to him were the earthly passages—the passages depicting Mose's love for the soil. But he felt a smoldering resentment at the broad reception America gave to this story of a murderer, even though Rylee had smoothed over the tragic story of this black man's destiny. Yet the exposure of the barrenness of Mississippi was welcome when Rylee said:
"Mississippi is a state without a myth. Such a land does not have poets and songs. Its people are likely to see it as those women see the world who sit intently at their windows, tapping on the glass, calling softly to men who pass in the streets without." Carl retired early that evening. He had only two more days in Miami before he would return to Tampa. During these two days he hoped the race riot would end. The people talking said that the fighting was not as bad as it had previously been. There were only intermittent clashes.
The Governor of Florida ordered a detachment of the State Militant to Miami to quell the disturbance there. The detachment was located in a camp about 15 miles outside of Miami so it would not take very long for the guards to reach the scene of the disturbance. On the next morning people in the quaint little tropical street just in the rear of the rectory were huddled in animated groups talking excitedly. Further down it was possible to catch glimpses of the uniformed soldiers moving in the direction of the locale of the disturbance. Some were marching in columns, others were on horseback, still others were on wagons carrying machine guns and field artillery.
They moved slowly, but their presence was sufficient to cause the people responsible for the friction to be wary. In fact, when the first detachment arrived at about ten o'clock in the morning, advance word somehow reached the glowering groups that the soldiers were coming. Some of those who were boldest paid no attention to the warning, others immediately began slipping away.
But when the first troops arrived both white and black "outlaws" vanished completely. This proved to Carl Brandon an idea that he had long nourished. This idea was involved in the thesis that he had formulated to the effect that rioters and lynchers were for the most part cowards under the skin.
After two or three days of amprehension and fear on the part of all the peaceful, law-abiding citizens of Miami in trouble died away. Carl Brandon began making plans for the termination of his visit and his return to Tampa.
On the Sunday before his departure for Tampa he would attend the Episcopal service with Father John. Father John had often beasted to Carl that his church was the largest Negro Episcopal Church in the United States. Even the New York church. Father John said, was second in point of church population to the Negro Episcopal Church in Miami.
It was Saturday and Carl pondered somewhat gloomily on his memory of the riot. The experience was like a horrible dream! The memory of those signs nostalgic, it seems, with the direct intentions of inciting hatred, prejudices, conflict, trouble.
Even when on the Greenvound bus, leaping through the wilderness, through towns and villages through cornfields and forst vastnesses, putting miles between him and Miami he would have the sensation of running away, of escaping into a realm where he could least breath an atmosphere less tainted by the glowering, frequently flaring embers of race hatred.
He would him himself a song at the moment nonular that seemed to strike his mood:
"O give me a home—a home on the range
Where the deer and the ante-lope play
hope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day."
On Sunday morning at the eleven o'clock mass between eight and nine hundred black citizens of Miami poured into the massive cathedral. The Episcopal cathedral in Miami, just in front of Thatcher Court, the narrow street on which the rectory is located, was built by black men to accommodate black men in large numbers. Nevertheless, many white folk, for the most part winter tourists, but
Federal News Notes
by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES
Every personnel authority who has studied the Federal organization recently has come to the conclusion that until it offers a career instead of a rut it will not get the service it should.
However, the average Negro American traditionally occupies such a precarious position in the general economic scheme that the aforementioned rut seems like a career to him. It has always been particularly difficult for Federal employees to receive even small promotions. They have to contend with three groups of thought. One includes "economy at any cost" enthusiasts, who would choke off promotions even more completely than is now the case.
Another group realizes the value of morale, and would follow the advice of personnel experts by making the government a career service with frequent promotions. (This is the group with which I ally myself.)
A third group stands in the middle by advocating some loosening of promotions governed by uniform regulations in all departments and agencies.
Representative Arthur W. Mitchell, the Illinois Negro Democrat, walked 66 miles from his home to Tuskegee to begin his higher education.

Calvin Says-
By FLOYD J. CALVIÑ
World of Color
Ethiopia's defiance of modern Italy has caused the white races to take stock of the world color situation. Some interesting figures are revealed by a New York Sunday newspaper, which accepts the estimates by the League of Nations. To quote: "The world's population is estimated by the International Statistical Division of the League of Nations at more than 2,000,000,000 humans beings. The population by races is estimated at 841,000,000 yellows, 798,000,000 whites, 241,000,000 blacks and 120,000,000 browns. The population by continents shows the following: Asia, 1,115,000,000; Europe, 553,000,000; Europe, 553,000,000; North America, 173,000,000; Africa, 159,000,000; South America, 86,000,000; Oceania (including Australia), 81,000,000. The prepondrance of the yellow race is evident from its almost complete domination of Asia. North America and Europe account for 90 per cent of the white race. While the greatest percentage of the black race is in Africa, approximately one-third of South America's millions are black, while 12,000,000 of our own country's 126,000,000 also are black."
Van Loon, the historian, in his "Story of Mankind," drew a map showing how the white race has brought most of the world under its economic and political domination during the last 500 years. Van Loon suggested that modern science is the cause of the white man's control of the world and hinted darkly that the spread of education among the yellows and black races will seriously menace the white man's hold on the terrestrial spheres. The rapidily with which the Japanese conied the militant habits of the occident, and the stiffening of the blacks by Haile Selassie's justly defiant attitude bodies no good for the exploiting whites. The rising tide of color has biotected expoiters worried, and rightly so.
Negro Jurors
Gradually the Negro citizen is being worked into the jury systems of the country. In different parts of the South we note members of the group are being called to help decide the fate of their fellowmen, some colored and some white.
More time must elapse before the real gains to the group which this new recognition will bring are felt. Such a change must have time to seep into the consciousness of the dominant group and color its thinking before its real value will be felt. This value will come including many local people, came to see Father John, his attendents and assistants, his choir and his congregation go through the impressive and beautiful, the mysterious and appalling Episcopal ritual
(The End of Part One)
BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
in the gradual and progressive evaluation of the Negro personality, which will be based on the fact that this personality can decide the fate of the appraiser—may decide if he shall enjoy peace, comfort and happiness, or whether he shall suffer in exposition of some offense. There will be much registing and evasion of the idea of Negro jurors, but this will make for temporary delay only. The rising intelligence of the race makes it imperative that the recognition of the quality of judgment in the Negro mind be extended eventually, and intelligent members of the dominant group will work to facilitate rather than retard the plan.
Pictures Improve
Pictures of Negroes in the public points are improving. Not long ago practically all pictures in the standard publications perpetuated the caricature stereotype, but today the trend is more encouraging. This week there is a nice portrait of W. C. Handy in the Saturday Evening Post, although the cover of the magazine bears the old sterotyped caricature. Perhaps the editor, who is a Kentuckian, was torn between the necessity of recognizing the modern achievements of the group, which preclude many of the old-fashioned menial ideas, and the prejudiced viewpoint received in his youth, which has done so much to hold the race back through unfavorable presentation in print.
The newer publications, edited by vouncer men, have played a big part in undermining the old caricature sterotype. Time Magazine, for instance, which was born less than ten years ago, has this year published the photographs of two Negroes on its front cover—Richard B. Harrison and Mrs. Gertrude Ayer, the first Negro woman school principal in the City of New York, Forbes, the business magazine, recently carried a picture showing Negro and white workmen together.
But these examples are all too few. Pehaps it will become easier for color to become a part of the editorial technique of American publications after the enormous space given to pictures from Ethiopia, even in the South, and to pictures of the celebrated Joe Louis. Indeed, most of the New York dailies have about overcome their squeamishness in handling pictures of colored people since Haile Selassie and members of his family and general staff have been in the news so long, and since Jog Louis gave such a splendid pictorial exhibition in demolishing Primo Carrera, Kingfish Levinsky, and Max Baer. Then Joe married such a charming girl that the papers took her right along on the front page without so much as batting an eyelash.
Yes, our pictures are improving More Preachers
Recently President Willis J. King of Gammon Theological Seminary announced that more young men are entering the ministry. For quite a few years the church has been worried because the best scholastic material seemed to be going into fields where the pay was better and more certain. But today, with the return to low-pay
Zora N. Hurstcn's "Men and Mules" Controversial
Zora Neale Hurston has written a book which will be greatly resent by the majority of her colored readers. Her "Mules and Men," a 343-page put out by J B Lippincott Company, Philadelphia, is good reading, but the frequent use of the words "niggers" and "coons" etc., will not be so kindly taken by many. Miss Hurston should not be brought to task for this, because to keep the book true to life, she had to use the terms. I have heard many of the tales that are narrated in "Mules and Men," and in almost the exact words.
Obviously the book was written and published principally for white perusal. I was afraid that it was, when I saw a review which referred to the book as "a good book about Negroes." We may expect an epidemic of "I've got a good nigger story," etc., after they have read it.
The author made a thorough job in gathering her stories. She tells them well. She, like so many writers of Negro dialect, failed to be consistent in her terms. On one page she will have a character saying "mens," "th'one" or "gals," and on the next page the same character uses the words correctly. One would wish that Miss Hurston had made a more exhaustive glossary.
Studies Hoodooism
"Hoodoo," the second half of the book, is worth the price of the whole. Miss Hurston evidently has the determination and long-suffering of a martyr to have gone through the ordeals such as she did so as to secure first-hand information relative to the workings of those who rank high in these ancient superstitions.
Nothing I could say would be as descriptive as her own words when she tells of one of her experiences while being initiated into the secrets of one Reverend Father Joe Watson, "The Frizzly Rooster":
"When the dark came, we went out to catch a black cat. I must catch him with my own hands....Then we repaired to a prepared place in the woods and a circle drawn and 'protected' with nine horseshoes. Then the fire and the pot were made ready. When the water boiled I was to toss in the terrified trembling cat:
"When he screamed, I was told to curse him. Here was the moment! The bones of the cat must be passed through my mouth until one tasted bitter. Maybe I went into a trance."
Attended Howard
Miss Hurston was born in Eatonville, Fla. She attended Morgan College, Howard University, Barnard College at Columbia University, where she specialized in anthropology, after which she spent three years in the South collecting folklore of her people. While at Howard, she took an active part in the literary activities there. In the winter of 1932 she produced a program of Negro spirituals and work-songs at the John Golden Theatre, New York. In 1934 she exhibited her troupe at the National Folkore Festival in St. Louis.

crutches, leaning on walking sticks,

October and its bright blue weather is truly with us. How perfectly sublime have been the days for several weeks. Sunday was perfect as was also last Saturday. The bright warm sun as it beamed through the brightly colored leaves significant of the changing seasons, was a challenge to those who love nature to forsake the house for awhile and "come out and play". Many obeyed and with "bag and baggage" either took the "sky line" drive or one of the picturesque motor trips through the country. Their reward was a pleasant day in the open, a wealth of information resulting from new scenes and a high, elevated cultural feeling arising from the beauty and grandeur of nature at this time of year.
On Saturday a very large crowd was present at Howard University Stadium to witness the class of the Howard and Virginia State football teams. The weather was ideal for the spectators, but miserable for the football players. Virginia State brought several hundred enthusiastic fans and well wishers with them and all through the game were quite demonstrative. Howard was well represented in numbers, but not with spontaneous, outbursts of enthusiasm which generally characterize a football game. What is wrong? Where is the spirit of "Old Howard"? Bring back the old days when Ed Gray, Huddy Oliver Brice, "Schoolo", Jack Cole and their classmates made Howard's name rings far and wide as they piled up an victory after victory.
The team works hard, the coach does the same—all desire the same end—victory, but there is that encouragement and sympathetic understanding lacking which should stand behind each man for the welfare of the group. Is there any truth in the teachings of mental hygiene? I wonder. Suffice to say the score was Virginia State 13; Howard 0. However, cheer up boys, keep up your spirits, better luck next time.
The skating fad is on again. What! Off again—on again. Quite a number of players are being arranged ending with light luncheons at one of the participant's homes. The groups are really enjoying this form of recreation judging from the hilarity and laughter which accompanies it.
At eight o'clock Friday evening, November 1, 1935, the women students of Howard University will celebrate their fourteenth Annual Women's Dinner in the University Dining Hall. The guest speaker will be Miss Frances Grant, former sectional director of the National Association of College Women of Bordentown, New Jersey.
With a view to promoting good fellowship and enlightening the membership, the Capital Pleasure Club plans $t_0$ sponsor a weekly forum on current problems at a luncheon every Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
The plan is to have a speaker discuss a particular topic. When he has closed his remarks a round table discussion will follow. These weekly forum-uncheons will be open affairs and can be made to have a representative attendance of educators, professional and business men and average citizens who make up this community. The first meeting will be Saturday, October 26. William C. Hueston will preside. The forum committee is made up of Louis Lautier, John W. Carter, George E. C. Hayes, H. Lincoln Johnson, Jr., and R. W. Gaddis, who is chairman.
A surprise birthday, sponsored by Mrs. Elfrida Taylor, was given in honor of Mrs. Josephine Ellis at the home of Mrs. Janie C. Bradford, on Saturday, October 19. The house was beautifully decorated with fall leaves which seemed to have added an extra note of color and to have formed a perfect setting for the many lovely and useful gifts which were showcured upon the guest of honor. Among the friends who helped to make the party such a success were the following: Elfrida Taylor, Janie Bradford, Rebecca West, Rosetta Robinson, Audie Lewis, Eula Grey, Sarah Gray, Rebecca Ramos, Fannie Douglass, Sametta Jackson, Virginia Quivers, Gertrude Johnson, Lula Brake, Mae Baker, Lillian Fitzhugh, Josephine Smith, Henrietta Childs, J Reid, Belle Brown, Minnie Singleton, Gerster Pryer, Virgine Washington, Julia

Mrs. Estrella Burwell of 1705 Second Street, Northwest, has been on the sick list for several days. Cupid is still at work. Miss Artis Gordon became Mrs Artis Johnson, seemingly over the last week-end.
The S. K. C. Club was entertained on last Wednesday evening by Vivian Brown at the Capital Pleasure Club. Among those present were: Margaret Martin, Grace Roy, Cliffie Maney, Nellie Z. Rice, Mae Irving and Evlyn Woodson. Prizes were won by Margaret Martin and Cliffie Maney

She had been the guest for a week of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Williams, the sister of Mr. Harrison.
Friends of Mrs. Maxine Whedby of Armstrong High School's faculty will certainly express regret on hearing of her resignation to take effect November 1. Mrs. Whedby is joining her husband in Kentucky.

THE TUBERCULOSIS SITUATION IN WASHINGTON
A few days ago the Joint Citizens' Conference, headed by Dr. Iona R. Whiper, announced that its membership would sit by and watch the activities of the Medico-Chirurgical Society in the fight to rid the Negro populace of Washington of the dreadful disease called tuberculosis.
The action of the citizens' group was announced by Dr. William J. Thompkins, Recorder of Deeds, who has served as spokesman for the citizens since his appointment to his present position.
Reasons for the action was made clear. In their attempt to make Washington a safer place to live in, they had met with many difficulties. The task the citizens were undertaking was a great one and they needed to solicit all the support they could muster behind their cause. The aid of Senator Royal S. Copeland, himself a physician, was sought. He, in turn, took the matter up with Dr. George Ruhland, the Health Officer, who replied that no program had been outlined respecting the Negro population, because the Negroes were not together and didn't know what they wanted.
Is. Dr. Ruhland's
This accusation, though bold, was nevertheless true. However, the Health Officer gave a poor excuse. The responsibility for guarding the health of the citizens of Washington, both white and black, falls on his shoulders. If the Citizens are not together on how they can be best protected, then Dr. Ruhland, as the Health Officer, should know what is best for their protection, and proceed to act to safeguard their health. Because the Negroes are not together should not bar them from gether should not bar the health department from doing its duty to protect the public's health. Washington Negroes do not need to be together for the health officer to know that the tuberculosis death rate is higher in Washington than in any other city of its size in the country, and that preventive methods need to be taken to curb the malady.
If the matter were boiled down, I dare say that Dr. Ruhland would also find that the white citizens are not together either on what they would like to see done to drive tuberculosis out of the city. But Dr. Ruhland did not let the difference of opinion of the white race prevent him from doing his duty. In double-quick time, he called leading members of the medical profession to his office, organized them into a club, and sent them to the various citizens' associations to lay the foundation for curing and preventing tuberculosis—lecturing.
"The Negroes are Not Together"
When asked why he had not organized members of the colored medical profession, his excuse was: "They are not together."
Dr. Ruhland was referring to the citizens' group and the medical group. Promptly he was robbed of his excuse when Dr. Thompkins, as spokesman for the group of citizens, announced that they would get out of the way and let the medical profession perform.
Now, Dr. Thompkins, himself a prominent physician and surgeon, knew very well that the medical profession would not perform.
Here in Washington, where medical opportunities and facilities are unexcelled, where is located the Howard Medical School and Freedmen's Hospital, members of the Negro medical profession have sat idly by and watched tuberculosis claim hundreds of lives here every year without protest.
They watched more than five hundred babies die here in Washington last year without protest to the Health Department.
When these facts were called to the attention of Dr. Thompkins, whose counsel and guidance was sought by the citizens upon his arrival here, he immediately set about to do what he could to bring about relief, and made it plain that he was not seeking any office.
Dr. Thompkins Gets Kicked for His Pains
He was called everything but a son of God by members of his profession. "Meddling!" they shouted. But Dr. Thompkins continued his drive and was making some headway, when the medical profession went to the Health Department in disagreement with Dr. Thompkins's idea, causing the accusation that the Negroes were not together.
As the first superintendent of the City Hospital in Kansas City, and as a member of the Health Commission of Missouri, and his years of experience in the actual practice of his profession, Dr. Thompkins came to Washington, rich in the knowledge of how to go about getting the kind of relief that Washingtonians were seeking. A red flag was waved in front of him by members of his profession, by members of the Medical School faculty, the school that gave him his first lesson in medicine, and as a result, Washington is robbed—robbed of a great benefactor, a great friend, a great physician and an intrepid champion of the cause of his race—Dr. William J. Thompkins.
Every bond and stock certificate should included a clause guaranteeing to the holder, an amount of bread and butter equivalent to the Avidlands if, as when passed.

The main address of the evening was made by Principal J. G. Logan. After greeting the parents and introducing the new teachers, Principal Logan reviewed the work of the school during last year, told the association of the travel and study experienced of the teachers during vacation, and outlined some modern trends in the work of the home and school in the education of youth.
Using as a text the words from Holy Writ, "Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it," the speaker explained the seven cardial principles of secondary education and urged all parents to cooperate fully with the school in promoting the modern educational program.
Hold Social Hour
At the conclusion of the meeting a social hour was spent in the school cafeteria. Parents and teachers held conferences. This unique feature was arranged by a committee headed by Mrs. C. Cottrel of the home economics department. Refreshments were served by Miss B. M. Queen, manager of the cafeteria.

SOUTHWEST PROMISED A SWIM POOL
National Capital Parks to Construct Recreation Center near Cardozo Ground
The Canal Street tract which lies adjacent to the Cardozo Pllyground at First and I Streets, Southwest, has been purchased by the National Capital Parks Commission for the construction of a recreational center which will include a swimming pool, Thomas S. Settle, commission secretary, told the Tribune this week. The site was purchased and the construction will be paid for out of a $1,000,000 P. W. A. allotment to the office of National Parks, the secretary said.
Great Need
The choice of the site for the swimming pool and recreational center was selected after much study and investigation by the commission, the Tribune learned, and will serve a great need to the colored residents in Southwest Washington who heretofore have had to journey to Northwest Washington for swimming recreation.
Site Inspected
While on an inspection tour last week, a group from the planning commission, lead by its chairman; Frederick A. Delano, visited the site. "The site will be developed similarly to the Banneker Recretal Center." Settle said; "and will be modern in every respect so we meet the greater recreational needs in the community."

DR. M. BAYEN FORMS RED CROSS UNIT H. U. Grad Organizing Medical Forces at Front in Ethoipia
CHICAGO, (ANP)—Dr. Malaku E. Bayen, Howard University Medical School graduate of the class of 1935, and nephew of Emperor Haile Selassie is serving on the front with the Ethiopian army according to information received here from Colonel C. Robinson, this week.
Dr. Bayen has charge of a group of young Ethiopian medical men and is organizing the forces of the Ethiopian Red Cross. Colonel Robinson was anxious that relatives of Mrs. Bayen who live in Evanston, Ill., be not alarmed, however, and said that Dr. Bayen was able to come to Addis Ababa frequently in order to visit his wife and young son, who were both well and happy.
The junior Bayen appeared to be enjoying life in Ethiopia, he said, with the exception that he could not understand why he was unable to understand when the little Ethiopian boys spoke to him. Dr. Bayen married Miss Dorothy Hadley, a former resident of Evanaton and Chicago. Mrs. Bayen formerly was in the employ of the Victory Life Insurance company here serving as private secretary to V. D. Johnson, treasurer of the company. When Mr. Johnston became treasurer of Howard University she went to Washington with him, later serving as a secretary in the office of Dr. Numa P. G. Adams, dean of Howard Medical School.

Approximately 250 of the 291 unattached colored men on the rolls of the District Transient Bureau were at work Wednesday morning on "Tugwelltown," the Resettlement Administration's $5,500,000 low-cost housing project at Berwyn, Md., David G. Linden, transient director, announced today.
The remaining 41 r en are also to be given work on this project, Mr. Linden said, thereby practically solving the transient problem among colored men enrolled. This leaves only a small number of families and unattached women to be provided with suitable jobs under the works program, he stated.
Of the 2,847 persons on the rolls of the bureau on October 1, only 639 were colored. Mr. Linden reported to Elwood Street, director of Public Welfare. The 639 individuals included 408 unattached men, 10 unattached women, and 70 families with 221 members.

TAYLOR GETS 4 TO 10 YEARS ON ABDUCTION CH'GE
Request of Scout Officials to Send Him to Hospital for Mental Observation, Denied
Pleading guilty to a charge of abduction, Eugene P. Taylor, 26, was sentenced to serve from four to ten years in prison by Mr. Justice Letts, of the District Supreme Court, last week.
Taylor was arrested several months ago by Detective Thomas Sweeney, of the Second Precinct, on a warrant sworn out by the parents of William Smith, 11, 1102 O Street, Northwest, who charged that Taylor had abducted their son, and taken him to a farm in Westmoreland County, Va.
Mrs. Smith told police that she thought her son was being taken by Taylor to a boy scout camp, near Fort Myers, Va.
A former scoutmaster, Taylor was dismissed from duty by the Executive Committee of the local scout organization here, and was forbidden by them to have anything to do with boy scouts. However, according to B. L Lawson, Jr., scout executive, Taylor continued to go around and organize troops of scouts, and carry them to the country, allegedly for camping purposes. Investigation by Lawson found that Taylor had been released on parole in New York City after having been arrested as a sexual pervert. Smith testified that Taylor committed corrupt practices on him.
The boy's whereabout were discovered by his mother when she received several letters from him requesting money for various purposes. She became suspicious and complained to the local scout office in the Y. M. C. A. and the matter was investigated by Lawson and a warrant sworn out. The Executive Committee of the scout organization voted to request the court to send Taylor to a hospital, but the judge ignored the request and ordered him to fail.

(Special to The Tribune)
Ethiopian Southern Army Headquarters, near Jipiga via Djibouti—The reported 18,000 Ethiopian casualties in the press are largely false and mere speculation, according to Dr. Robert W. Hockman, white of Wheaton, ill, who is in charge of the Red Cross Hospital here.
Dr. Hockman said that Ethiopian casualties have not been great, for they are not fighting in mass formation and there appears to have been little hand-to-hand combat.
Italians Use Gas
Col. Atou Ambay, an officer attached to Nassibou's staff, reached Harar Monday morning from the Ogadena front with a 100-pound "gas bomb" he exhibited at the government palace and which was photographed for the Ethiopian delegation in Geneva and the foreign press.
Officials saw the bomb and there appeared no question that it was charged with gas. Whether the gas is poison will be established when the bomb is examined at Addis Ababa.
Adding to charges of Italian atrocities, Dr. Hockman formally reported that he has examined Ethiopian soldiers who have been shot by airplane machine-gunners who harassed the Ethiopian positions around Carrahai last week. Hockman said a careful examination of the wounds showed the bullets had been flattened on their tips in violation of the accepted rules of civilized warfare. Hockman said he was forwarding photographic proof of the arocties to Emperor Haile Selassie in Addis Ababa.
To Begin Attack
Hockman, 29, a Presbyterian missionary, has been in Ethiopia two years, following his graduation from Northwestern University Medical School. Ethiopian troops have started a "general attack" on Gen. Rodolpho Graziani's columns invading (See WAR, Page 2)
