CASSELL-H.U. MAY PATCH BREACH
Architect Said to Have Evidence of Plot to "Strangle" Him
Attempts are being made to arbitrate the differences that are said to exist between Albert I. Cassell, Howard University architect, and Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of the university, the Tribune learned from an exclusive source this week.
When questioned concerning the report, Cassell told the Tribune that he would prefer not to make a statement until a settlement had been reached. He refused to state what course he would take to force the university to appoint him architect for the two new dormitories to be erected from an alotment of $525,000, made by the Public Works Administrator, Harold Ickes.
The climax to the difficulties that have existed between the architect and the university Board of Trustees for several years, came last week when the Board of Trustees, holding their annual session here, announced the appointment of Williams and Robinson as architects for the men's dormitories.
Cassell, who had drawn up a twenty-year building program in 1928, and had submitted to Congress and the Interior Department for approval, had expected to get the contract for the building. His program which included dormitories for men, had been approved by the Congress and the Interior Department.
Architect for the university for the past sixteen years, Cassell has designed every building erected at the university during that period. His plans for the men's dormitories and estimates submitted to (See CASSELL, Page 2.

In answering his wife's charges, Hughes denied that he was matrimonially incapacitated, charged that his wife with committing adultery, and asks the court to give him an absolute divorce in a cross bill, filed by his attorney, W. P. Cannady.
Mrs. Hughes, who before her marriage, was Ekhel Queen, daughter of the late Rev. Mr. Queen, one-time assistant pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and is a brother of Major Howard D. Queen, sets forth in her petition that she and her husband were married June 15, 1926, by the Rev. A. D. Holder. No children were

John Robinson Defense Fund to Aid Ethiopia
CHICAGO, Ill. — A pledge to raise funds for the Ethiopian people was given to Haile Selassie Monday night by more than one thousand Negro and white supporters of Ethiopia's stand for independence, gathered at a mass meeting in the Metropolitan Community Center, 4100 South Parkway, to plan ways and means of bringing about the defeat of the invading army of Mussolini.
Coming together in response to the call of the Joint Conference for the Defense of Ethiopia, the meeting decided to collect monies, for a "Jim Robinson Defense Fund

Her husband, Mrs. Hughes, declares, has reached the point where he is cruel, mean, ugly and incompatible to her, the result of which, she says, he has failed and refused to provide the necessary food and clothing for her and her adopted child.
He has carried her out to amusements only six times since their marriage, she sets forth.
To be forced to spend the balance of her days on earth as she has the past nine years with her husband, Mrs. Hughes, says in her petition, "would be tantamount to racial suicide."

JOHN LEWIS WINS LIGHT HEAVY TITLE
Arizona Negro Pummels Bob Olin Into Submission to Capture Crown
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Special)
A comfortable margin in points gained for John Henry Lewis, sensational Phoenix, Ariz. boxer, the decision over Bob Olin, white, in their 15-round championship battle, here last night (Thursday).
The victory won for the colorful colored boy the light-heavyweight title. Immediately at the close of the contest, Lewis was presented with the Police Gazette trophy, emblematic of the world's championship for the division.
Except for a few Turries spotted about in the clash, Olin was unable to get far in his intention of making a fight of it. Lewis started out cautiously, obviously determined to take no chances in this, probably his only title opportunity in the event he should lose.
Before the second round had gone half-way, however, the Arizona slugger was going about his work in a matter-of-fact fashion. As the battle went on, Lewis gained momentum. Points were piled up so rapidly that by the time the tenth round had been reached it was concluded that Olin's only chance of retaining his crown would be in a knockout.
In the ninth round, the defending champion absorbed $s_0$ much from the fists of the 21-year-old Negro that he was greggly. When the bell sounded, Olin made for his corner on wobbly lers and knees that were all but sagging. During the intermission, however, he was revived and he returned to the war somewhat freshened. But it was in the twelfth round

JURY HUNG ON "DIGIT" VERDICT
Split Decision Sends Gaming Charge Into a Second Trial
Unable to reach a verdict, a jury trying the gaming charge against Earl H. McDonald-Frank Owen and Buddy Ballard, well-known local sportsmen, was ordered discharged by Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Police Court late Wednesday evening.
Eleven white men and one colored comprised the panel which returned hung after more than two hours of deliberation.
The trio, McDonald, Owen and Ballard, were arrested on September 28 after having alleged "numbers" play at 1241 U Street, once marked money on a Northwest. The place, located at the corner of Thirteenth and U Streets, Northwest, is said to have been operated by the three men jointly.
Case Takes Day and Half
The hearing, begun Tuesday afternoon and lasting throughout the day Wednesday, took place in D.C. branch of Police Court. Assistant United States Attorneys Hart and Carusi prosecuted. The defense was conducted by Attorney George E. C. Hayes.
The government based its case on the testimony of two accusers, both women. One, Mrs. Dora Jones, is reputed to be a police informer. The other, Mrs. Virginia Young, took the position of a player seeking to avenge refusal of payment on a "hit." (A "hit" in the so-called "numbers" game means the guessing of the right combination of numbers taken from the totals of the first three races at a given race track.)
Refused to Pay Off.
The case was first brought to the attention of Second Precinct police when Mrs. Young went into the station on September 25 and filed a complaint against the member story was that she had "played" the number 492 on that day, and when it "came out" and she submitted her slip, payment was refused her.
McDonald, Owen, and Ballard were described by her as propriators. Another man, Leroy Chapman, was identified by Mrs. Young as the person with whom she had made her "play." Used. Marked Money. The arrests, however, were not made until two days later. They followed the alleged making of a "play" by Mrs. Jones. According to police, Mrs. Jones was working with them on an agreement whereby she would be paid $3 for every warrant issued on complaints registered by her. She went to the U. Street address, she declared, on the request of Sergeant P. L. Barnes, of the Second Precinct. Upon receipt of the "slip" Mrs. Jones paid the writer with a nickel which had been marked by Sergeant Barnes.

TUSKEGEE INAUGURAT'S PATTERSON
Nation's Leaders Greet Third President of Famed Institution
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE (Staff Correspondence for ANP)—Sharply on the stroke of two, Monday afternoon, before a hushed throng which filled the beautiful Institute Chapel here and overflowed by hundreds out upon the lawn, exercises began which signified the inauguration of Frederick Douglass Patterson as president of Tuskegee Institute.
Scarcely a murmur was heard as the solemn and stately ceremony was performed which inducted a new chieftain into the leadership of an institution which has undoubtedly played a larger part than any other in the life of the American Negro.
Dr. William Jay Schieffelin, chairman of the board of trustees, placed the insignia of the presidential office, a beautiful and beibboned carved brass medallion, around Dr. Patterson's shoulders. Then stepping forward and addressing the audience, he raised his mortar board high and proclaimed, "Ladies and gentlemen, the president."
The thunderous applause which rang out and continued for many minutes, seemed symbolic of the faith and confidence which the multitude of students, teachers, educators and visitors seemed to feel in this stocky, determined-looking new leader who follows in the footsteps of Booker T. Washington, the founder, and Robert Russa Moton, the builder, states. (See TUSKEGEE, Page 3)
WIFE NAMES D.C. MEDIC IN SUIT
Dr. Tolly Spriggs, Freedmen's Staff Member, Accused of Misconduct
Cruelty and misconduct with another woman are charges which form the basis of a suit for absolute divorce filed, by Mrs. Spellmyra P. Springgs, 1748 T Street, Northwest, against her husband, Dr. Tolly B. Springgs; in District Supreme Court early this week.
In her petition, filed through the law firm of Cobb, Howard and Hayes, Mrs. Springgs declares that her husband, a local physician and a member of the Freedman's Hospital staff; has been conducting an affair with a Rose Allen, of 1831 Oregon Avenue, Northwest.
Lived Together
She accuses the doctor of infidelity, claiming that he has spent periods of time living with the co-defendant. She specifies the periods from January 1, 1935, to February 12, and March 20 to October 7, 1935, as instances.
In addition, Mrs. Springgs avers, Dr. Springgs has on several occasions been extremely abusive. One time, she declares, he attacked her while in a drunken frenzy and beat her unmercifully. After the beating, she charges, the defendant left her lying bloody and helpless.
Married in '26: 3 Children
The Spriggses were married in Akron, Ohio, in December 1926. They have been living in this city since 1932. The defendant is a native Washingtonian and a product of the local schools. Three children, son age 8; a daughter, age 4, and another son; age 3; were born of the union. Temporary alimony has been asked on behalf of the plaintiff, she claiming that she is unable to earn money in a sufficient amount to care for herself and children.

home which was allegedly built

District Supreme Court, Tuesday af-

a compromise.
Miss Frances Morton, common-law wife of William Davis, brought suit against his sister, Mrs. Lester Williams, to gain possession of the house located at 3940 Meade Street, Deanwood.
The trial, which began last Friday, lasted until Tuesday, when attorneys suddenly announced to the court that they had reached a compromise. This action came just after the noon recess.
Said Both Built Home
Miss Morton told a story of how she had worked hard and long to secure a home. She said she met Davis in 1919 and in 1923 the two agreed to build the house together. She was maid and cook in a rich white family and she was an em-

Mrs. Aline Chase Held In Fatal Shooting of Roland Chase, after Quarrel BROTHER ON STAND IN SISTER'S DEFENSE Altercation Follows Row Over Alleged Flirtations and Money
The hysterical screams of a panic-stricken young wife, the concerted sobbing of her four younger sisters, a conflicting tale of testimony, and the ultimate fainting of that young wife who was held in connection with the fatal shooting of her husband, Joseph Roland Chase, 34, of the first block of M Street, Southwest, combined to make one of the most dramatic scenes in the history of the District Morgue Friday.
Her face writhed in a dual expression of terror and sympathetic appeal, her eyes dripping tears in an already tear-dampened handkerchief, and visibly weak from the ordeal under which she had gone for the past four days, the young wife. Mrs. Aline Chase, 29-year-old Titian blonde, provided the climax to the scene as she fainted when the coroner's clerk read the jury verdict: "We hold Mrs. Aline Chase for the action of the Grand Jury."

man's idea of Christ depends upon the plane in which he is standing? To a man standing in a flat meadow and to a man on a mountain, the same view may look entirely different. Christ is eternally the same. It is only man who varies. Even those who deny that Christ is a personal Savior agree that His personality and ethics have changed the world. Christ's principles have been levers to hoist a sin-heavy world back into the sunlight of God's presence. This process is not yet completed, but every time we adopt a principle of Christ sincerely, we find that it works...that it takes us a step farther toward being the fine personalities we might be. For Christ was a wise leader. He refused to be led astray by discussing local politics and small affairs. He spoke always for eternity.
For example, Christ never spoke against slavery. But His principle, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," made slavery impossible.

I had a BIG problem on my hands at the time the DODGE and PLYMOUTH folks held their preshowing of the 1936 cars in Washington; I was just closing my biggest year in business, showing an increase of 146% over 1934, and naturally I wanted to do something to make 1936 an even bigger one. I knew that I had built up a reputation for value and service that had to be maintained...I HAD to have cars to sell that would offer MORE to the motoring public than any others.
I needed automobiles that were safe to drive (safer than any others)...cars that were beautiful to look at...cars that were economical to

1936 DODGE IS OUTSTANDING
IMPROVED spring suspension, easier stirring and a "ride levelator" are among the outstanding features of the new Dodge cars. Seven body types are presented—four-door sedan, four-door touring sedan, two-door sedan, two-door touring sedan, coupe, coupe with rumble seat, and convertible coupe. The four-door touring sedan is pictured above.
Deliveries to dealers here in Washington are being made.
Various changes have been made in the appearance of the cars. The radiator grill has been tapered and now has a raised centre section, where the lower corners of the windshield are made to follow the cowl line, thereby giving a streamline effect.
The engine is now placed lower in the frame, so that there is practically a straight line from the engine to the rear axle. An innovation is the shaping of the cylinder heads so as to impart a whirling motion to the indrawn fuel mixture. This is said to result in better combustion. A spray from a steel tube extending through the cylinder block cools the exhaust-valve seats. For more efficient engine cooling, water packets extend downward and around the full length of the cylinder barrel.
The ride levalier is said to keep the car on an even keel when rounding corners or traveling over bumpy roads at high speed. It is a steel bar mounted behind the ra-

For greater ease of handling, the brake pedal now has a shortened motion, thereby making brake application quicker. Brakes are hydraulic. Various automatic controls are incorporated, including automatic choke, carburetor heat control, vacuum spark control and thermostatic control.
A more efficient oil system has been developed.
The clutch now is ventilated and it has a spring which absorbs variation in power transmission.
Ventilation in closed bodies is provided in two ways—the front windows slide backward, creating an opening which draws the air out, while the rear compartments have a quarter-window which pivots at different angles to let in the air.
For greater safety in night driving a passing beam is furnished, which may be directed toward the right edge of the road while the main driving beam points ahead. Jewel lights on the instrument panel indicate which of the two beams is on.

Chrysler presents four great new Chrysler cars . . . in a price range that will interest literally millions.
A Big, Low Priced Six
Chrysler luxury for 1936 starts with the big, new Chrysler Six. It costs just a little more than the lowest-priced cars but it gives you a whole lot more.
More beauty . . . more style. More speed, more ability, with its 93 horsepower engine. A more comfortable ride, with its 118-inch wheelbase, big tires, new weight distribution and big soft-acting springs.
It's a bigger, finer, safer, steadier car . . . yet Chrysler engineering makes it surprisingly economical to own.
De Luxe Eight . . . Fast, Powerful
If you call to mind the type of luxury that used to characterize the $2,000 class, you'll get a good idea of the new Chrysler De Luxe Eight. Astonishingly enough, it lists for about half that price!
In thrilling performance, it bows to nothing on the road. Its pick-up and astonishing top speed have an almost uncanny smoothness made possible by new developments in Floating Power.
It's a commanding-looking car . . . long, low-swung. A great big luxurious car . . . with wider, chair-high seats

The Airflow Eight and Airflow Imperial Eight, on wheelbases of 123 and 128 inches, respectively, are produced in coupe and six-passenger sedan bodies.

With overall height slightly reduced and bumper-to-bumper length increased, the interiors of some of the models are said to be four inches roomier. A foot rest is now recessed into the back of the front seat. Windshields are of the V type.
For better cooling a water jacket now runs the full length of the cylinders and a distributing tube takes water to the exhaust valve seats. The overdrive comes into

Imperial is the finest expression of Chrysler engineering. For speed with economy, we believe it has literally no equal. With all of its power and brilliant performance, this car holds the astonishing economy record of 18.1 miles per gallon on a transcontinental run.
No car, however costly, can match its luxurious Floating Ride . . . because the highest advantages of modern weight distribution are possible only in Airflow. And Airflow design, too, makes possible its truly astonishing roominess.
This big car of 130 horsepower and 128-inch wheelbase is priced astonishingly low in the medium-price range.
Introduced to the world on the Airflow cars, the Automatic Overdrive has been the most talked-about motoring improvement in years.

of friends at his home last Friday night. The affair was given by Miss Edna Thomas. It was said to have let out at 10:30.
The Younger Set
By DANIEL PARKER
Were you at the game last Friday between Douglass and Armstrong? If you were, you will appreciate the thought which I am trying to leave with you. The situation which I am referring to is the several fights that were seen after the game. When a team and its rooters go to Baltimore, they are welcome and are given a swell time by students of Douglass and other schools. So why can't we show our appreciation by conducting ourselves in the proper manner when other schools are here?
Younger Set of Baltimore to Entertain
Students of Douglass and other high schools will retribute the hospitality shown them by Washington students tonight after the football game between Dunbar and Douglass. Many social entertainments will be given, including a varsity ball at the school. The local football squad will be entertained by my very dear friend, Miss Irene Amos, of that city; that is, if our coach will let us stay over. This writer is planning to stay over until Saturday (provided). Many local students and booters will journey over to the city of white sters.
Gertie Wells and her orchestra furnished the music for the dance at Miner Teachers' College last Wednesday evening. The affair was not as good as the dances usually given by that institution. Dunbar was well represented.
The Just So Pals hold their first dance of the season at 1321 Wallach Place, last Friday night. Flenton Cornish and Inez Wood monopolized most of the evening with their love scenes. The Poets have some new equipment. We wonder if it will inspire them to play better football.
After the Game
The home of Clarkes Byrd, 501 T Street, Northwest, was the scene of many members of the Washington and Baltimore younger set last Friday evening. A group of students from Baltimore were entertained at the home of Miss Helen Barnes, After leaving Helen's home, the guests went to the T Street address to find the party in full swing. Among those present were: Misses Pauline Hart, Regina Moss, Alicia Lumbre Margie Weerford, Helen Barnes and Lillian Adams; Messrs. Percy Pitts, Robert Hawkins, Robert Rhone, Alexander Dickens and Edward Brooks. It was said that C. Henderson got a kick out of playing tag with J. Davidson A. Dickens, T. Curtis, J. Patterson and two young men from the "city of white steps." The boys from Baltimore had their drapes (suits), but did not know how to wear them, was one young lady's remark. The music was furnished by piano and radio. After emitting the wine jug, many students departed.
I notice that Cardozo lost several players because of scholarships.
Nathaniel Dickens has composed a new cheer called "Our Team Is Truckin'." Listen for it at the next game.
Luke Walke's and John Duncan's nicknames are Haile Selassie and Mussolini. Ask any members of the team why.
The romance between Sam Bailey and Helen Lankford is not on the rocks any more. They have decided to forget about the past and start over anew.
It is said that Ruby Smith is sporting a class pin belonging to an Armstrom lad. Why not give the Cardozo bey a break. Ruby?
Robeson's Ambition Is to Be School Teacher
TORONTO, Ontario—Paul Robeson, great singer, who gave a concert here recently, told visitors his plan was to leave the stage, radio concert stage and movies to teach foreign languages to children "some day." He said given opportunity, Negroes will rise to high cultural and educational attainments.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 2. 1935
Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb
"Our Men of Letters"
Recent observations of modern Negro college graduates have left me with a peculiar feeling of disillusionment. This disillusionment has been brought on by the fact that but few college graduates of color have actually reached the goals that they had set for themselves in their B.C. (before college) period.
This discouraging condition must be attributed, not so much to the individual faults and misgivings of these ambitious young students, but mainly, I believe, to the lack of confidence that has been bestowed upon them by the Negro population of America. Negroes are still prone to place a higher evaluation on "white" professionals and are still reluctant to cater to the most competent specialists of color. Yet, on the other hand, I am inclined to believe, that the masses of Negroes have some excuse for pursuing this particular course. For, in my own limited experience and contact with Negro men of medicine, law, and business, I have detected a characteristic tendency (on their parts) to emphasize the social phase, and to emphasize the "business" side of their professions. I do not intend to convey to my readers the idea that this condition holds true of all of our professional men, but I do feel, that in the main, such is the typical attitude.
Strict adherence to the development of their chosen professions, a more humane appreciation of the common ailments and woes "of the man in the street," and efficiency in handling the cases of both small and large would do a great deal in bridging the chasms or breach that has developed between the "Negro" "man of letters" and the professions, and the layman.

How Come Folks
Scale the Heights
Last week, Just last week, I told you that Ellie Roberts the banjoist, and George Walker, the artist, had become night club barons and had revived the Crystal Caverns. Well this chap Roberts and his Royal Diplomats have jumped a few rungs in the ladder to success and are dated, so 'tis rumored, to open a night spot on Connecticut Avenue. Of course, Walker goes too, as the big boss of the outfit. How do you do it, fellows? Congrats, ochids, milkshakes!

A lot of news hounds were in the press row, and your vender of beautiful orchids viewed the drama opposite practically all of the cast Figger it our yourself. More performances to you, Jackson.

Tell me, you see all of this? Well I don't, too!

He backed the now hopelessly out-classed title-holder into a corner and pummelled him with relentless fury about the head and body.
Spectators about the ringside howled in disapproval as the referee permitted the battle to go on.
Had Enough
Olin, himself, made several motions as if to imply that he had had enough. He cast at least one appealing look in the direction of his corner, but his handlers were unmerciful. They would give him no help. The towel did not come out and he remained on his feet.
Unlike many challenges who have the title within their grasp, Lewis did not let up in the three remaining rounds. There was no coasting. But neither did he take any unnecessary chances. He continued his work as the aggressor, but made no real attempt to kayo his adversary. Despite the fact that this was St. Louis, in the state of Missouri, the victory of the Negro was accepted without disfavor or criticism.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
PONTIAC OFFERS 8's AND 6's
For 1936 Pontiac brings out three lines — a straight Eight, a Six and a de luxe Six. A large number of improvements is said to be incorporated in the new cars, but there are no radical mechanical changes.
The new models were put on display in dealers' show rooms yesterday.
With the "silver streak" radiator and grille introduced last year, nineteen body types are included. Six models are mounted on each of the Eight and the de luxe Six chassis, and seven models on the standard Six. In all lines there are two-door and four-door touring sedans with built-in trunk; standard coupe for two passengers and sport coupe for four passengers. In addition, there is a four-passenger cabriolet on the Six chassis.
The eight-cylinder four-door touring sedan is pictured above.
Various alterations have been made in appearance. The chromium grille has been crowned, the front and rear fenders made deeper, and lamps mounted on the rear fenders-Wheelbases remain at 117 inches on the Eight and 112 inches on the Sixes. Interiors have been thoroughly redesigned. Improvements in the engine are
NATIONAL NEGRO CONGRESS GETS ENDORSEMENTS
More Than 100 Leading Citizens and Six Newspapers Endorse Move
A report of the progress of the movement for a National Negro Congress together with a draft copy of the proposed call is contained in a letter mailed to all co-sponsors by John P. Davis, secretary of the Temporary Committee on a National Negro Congress. Following a ringing recital of injustices which plague the Negro people in the United States, the call points out: "The National Negro Congress will be no new organization, nor does it seek to usurp the work of the existing organizations. It will seek to accomplish unity of action of existing organizations."
Proposals for discussion and action by the Congress is made in the call. These include—the right of Negroes to jobs at decent living wages; for organization of Negro workers with their white fellow workers into democratically controlled trade unions. For adequate relief and security of every poorly family; for

said to enhance acceleration, starting and economy. Horsepower has been increased to 87 and automatic choke and throttle opener incorporated. The intake manifold and combustion chamber are of new design, and all models have a new clutch plate and new all-helical gear, synchromesh transmission. Hydraulic brakes are used, in combination with improved drums and linings said to stop the car quicker and more evenly. The brakes are triple scaled for added safety. Water jackets now are larger and extend the full length of the cylinders. This, it is claimed, makes the oil last longer and permits the engine to run cooler. Such features as metered flow lubrication, cross-flow cooling, electro-plated pistons and silver-cadmium bearings, found in last season's models, are also provided in the new Pontiac.
Several options of upholstery and interior trim are offered, together with a variety of color combinations. Some of the sedans accommodate six persons. In all models, front doors are hinged at the front and open from the rear. The instrument panel has been newly designed, with better lighting and clearer dial numerals.

Congress Movement Grows
The rapidity with which the idea of the proposed Congress is seizing hold of the Negro population is reflected in the number of endorsements, the report indicated. More than 100 leading citizens, six newspapers, including the Tribune, and four organizations, including the Order of Elks, have approved the Congress.

(Continued from Page 1) the arbitrary bad graces of the superintendent of schools, which is tantamount to an impossibility of reappointment — qualifications, eligibility, service and all other things to the contrary, notwithstanding."
He said that during an interview concerning his reappointment Dr. Balou expressed concern because he was "reputed for causing criticisms of school policies." On petition of Cromwell's attorneys, James G. Cobb, Perry W. Howard and George A. Hayes, Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat signed a rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not be granted, and set November 15 as the date of hearing.
Reciting his qualifications. Cromwell stated he resigned October 31, 1930, to go to Howard University after receiving the rating of "excellent" consistently for many years. After serving as controller at Howard for a year, he decided to return to the public schools. Rules of the Board of Education make this possible without examination within five years after resignation for a teacher with an "excellent" rating. The five-year period in Cromwell's case expires today.
Declared Matter of Form
Cromwell said he was assured by First Asst. Supt. of Schools Garnet C. Wilkinson that this would be merely a matter of form. The economy act and a dispute over the salary he was to receive delayed his appointment until February, 1933, when Wilkinson offered him a job and he accepted it Cromwell said. Pursuant to this arrangement he interviewed Dr. Ballou, whom he might sue the Board of Education in connection with the salary dispute. Cromwell stated he should have been appointed to an existent vacancy February 6. 1933, and asked the court to cause his reinstatement to be effective as of that date

competition.

‘power at 3,400 rpm. and had
‘many unusual features. ‘The power

economy of operation has also
been improved as exhaustive prov-
ing Ground tests have shown.

both motors are found in the fol-
lowing paragraphs.
One of the most interesting sin-
gle features of the new models is
the adoption of the all-steel top.
This addition to Studebaker’s steel
reinforced-by-steel bodies is be-
lieved to give the new models a
definite safety advantage over
many competitive cars There is
no wood in the Studebaker body
and the largest single steel stamp-
ing ever made for an automobile
is used for the roof-to-rear-hot-
tom panei. These steel bodies
have more box sections than were
ever used before. No similar con-
struction can be found on competi:
tive cars.
Studebaker engineers claim
greater safety for these bodies
than can be found in any other
car, not only because of the all:
steel top and the steel-reinforced-
by steel body but because of the

Osceola Archer Thinks "Porgy and Bess" is Fine Vehicle for Negro Talent
By OSCEOLA ARCHER
(Talented Dramatist Reviews New
Gershwin Opera for ANP)
NEW YORK. — I went to see Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" herishing the still poignant memory of the original production in a great moment in theatre. I went, however, with a firm resolve to put out of my mind for a period of two and a half or three hours, memories of the tragic figure of Rose McClendon swaying to the mournful cadences of the dirge sung at the wake; the blood-chilling blasphemy of Jack Carter's Crown striking terror in the hearts of simple, trusting, superstitious folk, gathered to pray for their loved ones tossed on a storm-swept sea, that Bess had left him, and as he sallied forth bravely to find her, not knowing either the direction or the distance to New York.
Such experiences burn deeply, and in spite of my firm resolve, these memories repeatedly cried out for comparison. It is not com, fortable to see a play with such memories, and reviewing it with these memories is no easy task. Gershwin Best In Wilder Tempos The musical score with which George Gershwin has established DuBose Heyward's play, is provocative, and; not to disparage in any way the loviness of some of the quieter lyric passages, he is always at his best when his music lends itself to expressing those wild, frenzied, discordant elements in a near-primitive people.
If Gershwin has been more successful in his music for the ensemble, it is because here he has been treasured to his own particular genius, and has relied less upon the time-honored conventionalities of grand opera. When he comes to treat the love scenes between Bess and Porgy, something very strange happens to his music.
It becomes stilted and self-conscious, falling into the conventional pattern with a none too happy result. It is impossible to reconcile his musical passages with such prosaic language as "Bess, you is my woman now." Obviously the tender emotions of these uncultured folk who love, hate and fear in deep purples and lived reds, require some treatment other than the grand opera idiom. Somehow pastel ill becomes them.
As in the case of the previous production, the current offering is for Rouben Mamoulian a personal triumph, for, next to the playwright and the composer, his directorial skill is the outstanding contribution to the success of the opera. He must have been pretty well pleased with the job he did seven or eight years ago, for there is scarcely a single bit of business which has been changed. His mass scenes for which, by the way, he possesses a rare genius, still stand out as high spots of the production; and the music has enabled him to introduce some very fascinating work and play rhythms into several of the scenes with telling effect
Duncan, Brown and Mitchell
All of the principal parts are
capably handled. Particularly
worthy of note is the singing of
PORGY AND BESS
Todd Duncan who is endowed with
a splendid voice which he uses
with a sure technique. One
of the most beautiful moments
in the opera is a very brief scene
in which he is left alone immediately
after Bess goes off with
Marie to the picnic. He streathes
himself with a childish joy, and
lying on his back and beating out
the rhythm upon the ground with
the palms of his hands, he bursts
forth in an infectious, happy song,
"I Got Plenty o' Nuttin." His
physical characterization, however,
which presumes complete ignorance
on the part of the audience
of any knowledge of anatomy or
physiology, is the weakest thing
about his performance.
He gives no illusion of being a cripple, but of course this being opera and not drama, tone production cannot be interfered with by a too uncomfortable position. Anne Brown's voice is at all times adequate, and it possesses a vibrant warmth which enhances its emotional quality. Ruby Elzy as Serena gives a moving and restrained performance. Her singing of "My Man's Gone Now" was effectively done, but a lower register would have heightened its tragic quality. This is only one of the instances in which the composer seems to have disregarded the fact that emotions have a very definite tone color. One may express terror, fright, cestasy, joy or a variety of emotions in the higher register, but grief and sorrow right belong in the low register. Grief requires guts rather than sinuses.
One of the most beautiful voices in the cast, and the one most favor- ed by the composer with some of his lovelist music is that of Abbie Mitchell, who plays the role of Clara. Her "Summer Time" is a plaintive lullaby which you will find yourself unconsciously humming as you leave the theatre and which months later you will try to recapture, for it is one of the few numbers of this elusive score in which the basic melody is easily followed.
In the earlier scenes, however, she is far too beautiful, far too full of the inmate grace with which she is so richly endowed. Her hands are beautiful, fragile things a bit out of key with the dough-hewn figures of Cat-Fish Row. She might well be Carmen in disguise descended upon Cat-Fish Row, gliding gracefully like a lady in

And while on the subject, what a Carmen the Metropolitan Opera Company has overlooked in this gifted artistry. In the third act, however, she grows statuesque in her grief — a frantic, distraught, primitive woman, praying for her man.
Bubbles Stars
Strange as it may seem, it is John W. Bubbles as Sporting Life—Mr. Bubbles, erstwhile of the popular vaudeville team of Buck and Bubbles—who literally steals the show in his absurd orchid and bright green suits. Possessing, next to the worst voice in the cast, a mere vaudevillian with none of the finer graces demanded for opera, he walks away with every scene in which he appears. And somehow, even if he has a definitely uppleasant voice and simply can't sing at all, you like him. You still like him when he lets out something resembling a

rial Scholarship Fund which fund is made possible by the employees of the North Carolina Mutual Benefit Association, of Durham, N.C.
Others who received scholarships of $100 from the fund include: Miss Rachel E. Carter, Tennessee A. and I. State College, Nashville, Tenn.; Miss Nellie Wilder Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va.; Miss Juana Yeates, North Carolina College for Negroes, Durham, N.C.; Maceo Miller State A. and M. College, Orangeburg, S.C.; Ben Ingersoll, Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga.; Charles Coates Morgan College, Baltimore, Md.; Charles Battle, State Teachers' College, Montgomery Ala
The scholarship fund was set up as a memorial to John Merrick and Aaron McDuffie Moore, both of whom contributed largely to educational institutions.
The Durham colored library was founded by Mr. Merrick. He made annual contributions to Kittrell College and donated $2,200 for a library at that school. The library bears the name of his wife.
Dr. Moore left $5,000 to Shaw University, his alma mater, in his will.
These generosities were in addition to the private philanthropies of Dr. Moore and Mr. Merrick, which were extensive and, many of them, unknown. Their names led practically every subscription list. They gave food, fuel and clothing to many destitute families; and many a boy and girl "went off to school" because the unselfishness and big-heartedness of these two men made it possible Boys and girls continue to go to school because their spirit is still alive, perpetuated by their benefactors in the Merrick-Moore Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The initial contribution to the fund was the sum of $500 given in 1922 by Haight, Davis and Haight an actuarial firm of Indianapolis, Ind. Since then it has grown to an amount sufficient to offer one scholarship each year in the seven states and the District of Columbia, the territory in which the company maintains its branch offices.

squawk, when he glides off to a too high note. In spite of all this, with a made-to-order character developed and perfected through years of vaudeville experience, he is the one person in the cast who gives a faultless performance; you also forgive Mr. Mamoulian and Mr. Gershwin for introducing this vaudeville interlude into a tragic piece. When Sporting Life sings "It Ain't Necessary So," you won't be able to keep your seat without an effort.
Alexander Smallens, who will be remembered for his conducting in "Four Saints," is the guiding purus παραμιοι spuer ομμ sqnues singers through the intricacies of Gershwin's music.
Probably Gershwin himself would be the last person to contend that in "Porgy and Bess" he had achieved the perfect folk opera or the QED may be appended to the quest, but he has pointed the way to a new field of experimentation, and incidently has lifted the Negro stage to a new dignity.

And this 1936 Terraplane brings you more new features that really count than ever came to you in any former car.
Greatest of these is a wholly new principle . . . Radial Safety Control . . . one of the most important automobile advancements of all time. You're safer when you're riding. Safer when you're steering. Safer when you're stopping.
Terraplane, as you know, already had the strongest, safest body ever built. Now this first body all of steel is combined with the world's first safety engineered chassis. Safety you couldn't buy at any price...up to now.

employed. This consists of a screening cloth placed over an opening just above the rear axle in the body floor. When windows and doors are closed, all the air admitted into the car passes through this screen cloth. This is said to be of special value when driving through dusty stretches. An adaptation of the "electric hand," gear-shifting control, is incorporated in the new models. The top is now one piece of steel, adding to the strength and safety of the car. Bodies are now said to be more completely insulated from sound and fumes.
In the new steering mechanism the front axle rises and falls in a true circular path, the centres about which it swings being fixed by two torque rods. This, in turn, frees the springs from the duty of absorbing brake torque and driving the front end, and thereby permits a softer ride, it is claimed. Three inches have been added to the wheelbase and $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches to the rear tread.
The engine of the six develops 93 horsepower with 6.25 to 1 compression ratio, and of the eight, 113 horsepower with 6 to 1 ratio. With a 7-to-1 aluminum cylinder head, available at extra cost, the smaller motor produced 100 horsepower and the larger 124 horsepower.
An anti-percolating device has been added to the carburator to prevent boiling of the fuel in the float bowl. This is said to eliminate

difficulty of re-starting the engine, as often happens in hot weather and at high altitude.
New Terraplane Line
A NEW front-end suspension and a supplementary ventilation system are incorporated in the new Terraplane. Like the companion Hudson's, the Terraplanes incorporate five innovations said to make for improved springing, steering and braking. The cars are now on display at dealers' showrooms throughout the country.
Mounted on wheelbase of 115 inches, the new models are produced in de luxe and custom series, all with six-cylinder motor of 88 horsepower. An aluminum cylinder head giving 100 horsepower is also available.
The instrument panel is now tilted more sharply upward, so that the driver can readily read the controls. Ruby lights indicate oil pressure and battery charging, and there is now a water temperature indicator instead of water level guage. Extra legroom is said to be provided in the bodies. A double braking system is used, composed of both hydraulic and mechanical brakes. When normally applied, only the hydraulic brakes come into play. If, however, through some remotely possible failure the hydraulic system does not function the mechanical brakes take hold.
The carburetor now contains a device that prevents formation of vapor in the float bowl, thus avoiding difficulties of restarting the engine in hot weather or at high altitude.

ROSENWALD FUND OFFERS $1,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS
ATLANTA, Ga. — The offer by the Rosenwald Fund of a thousand dollars in prizes for "work stories of living Negroes" has brought in hundreds of stories from all sections of the country, according to a statement from the office of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, which conducted the contest. These stories, the Commission announces, are now being sifted carefully by competent committees in the effort to pick those most worthy of the twenty awards that are to be given. The papers cover all types of activities, under the five heads of agriculture, business, industry, personal service, and the professions. In each of these classes there will be four awards: a first prize of $100, a second of $50, and two $25 each.
Those who have submitted stories are requested to wait as patiently as possible for the results, which will be announced both through the newspapers and by personal letters to all the contestants.

ANNOUNCING two new lines
ef cars—a new Airstream and the
Airflow III, the De Soto Motor
Gorporation’ this week revealed
the details of its 1926 models,
The new Airflow features per-
fected acrodynamic styling and
important engineering advances,
‘The 1936 Airstream, a more con-
ventionally designed car, incor-
porates many of the automotive
innovations originally introduced
with the Airflow, such as scienti-
fie weight distribution and Float-
ing Ride-
Both the Airflow and the Air-
stream cars have high compres-
sion motors, synchro-silent trans-
missions, a new overdrive trans-
mission, rust-proof safety.steel
bodies, improved hydraulic brakes,
floating power and hypoid rear
azies in the Airflow and Custom
Airstream.
The Airstream will be available
two series—the De Luxe and
‘The cars will be offered
the following body models in
these lines; Touring Sedan, Tour-
ing Brougham and Coupe. A Con-
Yitible, Sedan ‘and a Convertible
oe will be additional features
ef the Custom line,

The aerodynamic styling of the
car is further enhanced jn the
Custom line by a new V-type
windshield, which slants baz’, up:
ward and outward, from a chro-
mium center bar.
Equipped with a Safety-Steel
body that has been strengthened
and reinforced at many vital
points, the Airsteam has been
made sturdier by a redesigned
frame: so formed that it is now
50 per cent ‘more rigid than the
preceding model- ‘The new frame
and body are joined together in
such a way that each strengthens
the other. New rubber insula-
tion between frame and ‘body ef-
fectively shuts out road noises,
The 1936 Airflow models which
will be available in two body types
—Sedan and Coupe—include all of
the original advantages of aero-
dynamic design, redistribution of
weight and unit frame construc-
tion, plus a number of refinements
and improvements designed — to
give the car flew comfort and im-
proved appearance.
In announcing tlie new cars,
Byron C. Foy, President of the De
Soto Motor Corporation, pointed
out that the great success of the
Airstream in its first year and the
established popularity of the Air-
flow made it wise for De Soto to
offer again cats that covered a
wide price range.
“The sales of the De Soto Air-
stream since its introduction has
proven that there is a great
Market in America for an auto-
mobile that offers more than just
bare transportation,” he said.
“People again are asserting their
pride of ownership in their cars
and are seeking beauty and com-
fort in them, in addition to satis-
factory transportation.”

A REVIEW of fortheoming
1936 ears was presented before the
Detroit Section, Society of Auto-
motive Engineers here last. week.
It was presented by Harold F.
Blanchard, technical editor of the
publication Motor and chairman of
the technical committee of the
American Automobile Associa-
tion’s contest board,
In general, Mr. Blanchard found
that much effort on the part of the
makers has been given to refurnish
interiors without changing them
radically, and the same holds true
of the exteriors. On the front
ends there is a pronounced trend
toward smoothly rounded die-cast
radiator grills of -ovalized form and
the use of headlamps with faired
mountings attached to the radiator
shell,
“Bright new eights with high
piston — displacement. for their
weight,” Mr. Blacnhard pointed
out, “include new cars by Buick
and Cadillac and a new cord front
drive with many features-”
After noting the pesence in the
1936 line-up of two rear-engined
cars—the Stout “Scarab” and an-
other produced by the Briggs Man-
ufacturing Company as a demon-
stration job to show features of
a frameless, all-steel body with
rear-engine installation—Mr. Blan-
chard referred to an unnamed
supercharged six with high power
in respect to size and weight,
“All but universal,” he said, “is
the use of steel tops, front doors
hinged at the front, ‘V’ wind-
shields, more luggage space in the
rear and hydraulic brakes. Bodies
are roomier in-a few cases. Buick
and Oldsmobile have decided that
aluminum alloy pistons are all
right, Only three ears continue to
use cast iron. Several additional
models have overdrive transmis-
sions. On a few other cars, en-
gine speeds have been reduced by
higher gears. Several cars have
frames that are stiffer torsionally.
“There are two interesting front
spring suspensions in production,
one of them of the independent
type. On the whole, however, only
routine changes have been made in
springing, There are several con-
verts to long water jackets. The

“With engines in a number of
cars there has been no increase in
horsepower or in compression ra-
tio. Engines which show increases
include the Packard ‘120’ with a
three-eighth-inch longer _ stroke.
This gives 10 per cént more piston
displacement but the engine has
been slowed down an equal amount
by changing the gear ratio from
4.54 to 4.09.
“The piston displacement of the
Pontiac’ Eight has been increased
4 per cent by enlarging the bore
one-sixteenth of an inch, The com-
pression ratio of the Buick ‘40’ has
been raised from 5.45 to 5.555. and
on another car the ‘ratio has been
changed from 5.6 to 6 to 1, but
otherwise the engine has been al-
tered to improve torque, with a
loss of one horsepower.
“By adoption of aluminum cylin.

back pressure, Pierce-Arrow has
increased the ‘horsepower of its
eight from 145 to 150 and of
twelve from 175 to 185-

Pellease C. Kebble, former local athlete and well known radio mechanician, was named defendant in a suit for divorce filed by his wife Mrs. Agnes B. Kebble, 1830 New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest, late last week.
Mrs Kebble, through her attorney, George A. Parker, requested an absolute divorce on the grounds of desertion.
According to her petition she and the Armstrong High School and former Teddy Bear football player, were married on November 11, 1925. Less than a year later, June 1, 1925, Mrs. Kebble declares her husband left their home and has not since returned.
In view of this voluntary separation for more than five years, the wife contends that she is entitled to an absolute divorce. She prays that the court award her alimony.
Aside from receiving an approximate salary of $150 monthly as an employee at the Government Printing Office, Mrs. Kebble declares, her husband earns an additional amount as a radio technician. His address is given as 67 I Streets Northwest.
Better Race Relations Fostered by Club Visits
The L. A. J. Club of the People's Congregational Church, along with other delegates from the various Congregational churches, colored and white, visited the Red Cross Building and the American Association for the prevention of War last Sunday.
These visits are the first in a series to foster better relationship between the races and a campaign to better acquaint the Washington youth with the city.
Plans have been completed for a mask party to be held on Hallowe'en.
The forum will discuss for its topic on Sunday, November 3, "Peace."

WIFE FAILS TO PROVE CRUELTY
Patrick Tolliver Claims Mate Was Friendly with Many Boy Friends
Although charging cruelty and misconduct, the bill for limited divorce filed by Mrs. Evelyn Tolliver, 4909 Sheriff Road, Northeast, against her husband, Patrick Tolliver was dismissed by Justice Jennings Bailey in the District Supreme Court. Friday afternoon when Mrs. Tolliver failed to prove that hospital treatment she received was the result of injuries inflicted by her husband.
Mrs. Tolliver on direct examina- tion charged that her husband slapped her several times and on one occasion she stated that he struct her across the head with a window screen.
Surprised Husband
The wife related an incident in their home in which Tolliver and a Miss Annie Bell Lee were surprised in a compromising position. She stated that the young woman was a lodger in their home. One night the wife said she became suspicious when her husband failed to come to bed and she went into the kitchen where she found her husband and Miss Lee in a semi-nude condition. The "other woman" was driven from the house the same night.
Tolliver countered with a charge of misconduct on the part of his wife and alleged that Samuel W. Holcombe, an aged retired government employee, was on more than friendly terms with his wife. The husband intimated that Holcombe purchased several dresses, a hat and a pair of shoes for Mrs. Tolliver and at one time Holcombe used his credit to enable Mrs. Tolliver to purchase a bedroom suite.
Shown Photograph
It was also shown that Mrs. Tolliver was on friendly terms with a number of men, including Charles Lee, Noah Slaughter, Oscar Miller and John Fulls.
The woman was shown a picture of herself attired in men's clothing at the home of John Fulls. Mrs. Tolliver claimed that the pants she had on belonged to her husband.
Mrs. Tolliver told the court that her husband objected to a remark she made in which she stated "I wouldn't work as long as I have a black man working for me." She said he slapped her for the statement.
Tolliver was represented by Attorney Edmund Hill, Jr. while Attorney Harry Dyson appeared for his wife.

Briggs-Montgomery P.-T.A.Makes Plea For Better Child Health
The first meeting for the year was held Friday by the Briggs-Montgomery Parent-Teachers Association. Matters discussed included better child care and welfare, a pledge of cooperation with the local campaign for safety, and school attendance.

the new Plymouths are presented in three regular and seven deluxe models on 113-inch wheelbase. The new cars are now on display at dealers' showrooms throughout the country. Among outstanding features are rubber-cushioned bodies, double-strength frame and "shockless" steering. The cars are described as bigger and more massive in appearance, and are longer and lower in overall height.
The motor, of six cylinders, develops 82 horsepower. A full-length water jacket extends along the cylinders, providing more unifrom cooling. A tube now runs through the engine block, forcing the water to all exhaust valve seats.
A new type of ignition system, called "calibrated," is said to permit the spark to be fully advanced and the engine to use ordinary fuel without producing a knock. The
new pistons, of aluminum alloy, have four rings instead of three as conventionally, and are covered with an "Anodie" treatment said to give them longer life.
In the new steering assembly the front springs are pivoted at the rear instead of the front, and a shock eliminator is employed to prevent road irregularities from reaching the driving wheel. A perfected ride stabilized to eliminate sway in rounding curves is again used, but is mounted directly on the shock absorbers instead of being attached to the front axle.

POLICEMAN FREED IN KILLING
Coroner's Jury Exonerates Officer Who Fatally Shot Man in Spine
Policeman Phillip Burton, white, of the Eleventh Precinct was exonerated by a coroner's jury in the death of Andrew Evans, 24, of 5309 Hayes Street, Northeast, Friday.
Evans was fatally wounded when shot by Officer Burton last Monday night in the vicinity of his home. According to Policeman Burton and Officer L, D. Peyton, who accompanied him on the night of the fatal shooting, Evans was allegedly terrorizing the community with a gun when the two patrolmen answered a radio call at the Hayes Street residence.
The two policemen entered the man's home and found him sitting at a table eating. Policeman Burton, according to his testimony, to the jury, ordered Evans to stick up his hands. Refusing to obey the order, Evans is alleged to have knocked the officer down with a chair and ran out of the house and into the yard of Burrrville School. Officers Burton and Peyton gave chase and opened fire on the fugitive, one of the bullets allegedly fired by Burton striking Evans in the spine. Evans was taken to Casualty Hospital where he died last Wednesday.

Will Your Child--
Be Denied A College Education?
IN a few days, thousands of hopeful, ambitious, deserving young men and women will be winding their way toward college to prepare themselves for survival in our economic system. Will your child be among them this year, or ten years hence, or fifteen years hence?
Of those who begin college careers, only a few will graduate. Thousands will be forced out because of financial difficulties. Many a promising career will be crushed beneath the onslaught of economic adversity.
HOW much easier, how much more substantial and assuring it would be for the parents of future generations of college youths if they shifted the burden to a North Carolina Mutual Child's Educational Policy. By laying aside a small amount each year now you can assure your children a complete college education when they have finished their public school training. The New Child's Educational Policy provides for a substantial payment at the time your child is ready to enter college, and for regular monthly payments for forty months thereafter.
MOST important of all—the thousands who otherwise will be denied even the privilege of entering college at all, because of financial difficulties. Don't let your child be handicapped throughout life for want of adequate training. Provide for his future education now by taking out a Child's Educational Policy. See one of the Company's representatives today, or write to the home office for details. The North Carolina Mutual will be glad to help you solve the problem of educating your child.

MAN'S TESTIMONY WINS DIVORCE COURT ACTION
Witness Declares Richard Phoenix Introduced "Other Girl" as Wife
Testimony of Louis Dixson, 1227 Thirty-third Street, Northwest, was instrumental in the winning of a suit for absolute divorce filed by Mrs. Edna T. Phoenix, switchboard operator at Howard University, against her husband, Richard A. Phoenix, late last week.
The decree was granted by Justice Jennings Bailey sitting in equity branch of the District Supreme Court.
Called "Other Woman" His Wife-
According to Mrs. Dixson, the defendant had introduced the co-
respondent, Ruth Walker, as his wife on an occasion when he had reputedly seen the couple occupying sleeping quarters together. He met them, he said, when he went to the apartment where they were staying with the intention of renting a room. This allegation by Mr. Dixson substantiated the claim of Mrs. Phoenix that her husband was carrying on an illicit affair with another woman. Mrs. Phoenix was represented by Attorney Nathan A.

at Inability to See Red
Though outplayed the Washington
ton Yellowjackets managed to
keep their season's state clean
when they eked out a 6-0 victory
over the strong Baltimore Royals
Sunday, at Griffith Stadium
The game was the tale-end of a double header and was viewed by upward of 3,000 fans. In the opening encounter, the Northwestern eleven fell victim to the Ebenezer team, 14-6. This latter was a meeting between teams of the District Sandlot and Semipro Football League
'Jackets Get Break
The Jackets were fortunate enough to get their score over before the contest was under way very long. In fact it was within the first six minutee of play that Big Red Fields, local fullback, plunged through the right side of his line for the marker.
The counter said to have been a result of good fortune because the Baltimoreans seemed to warm up as the game went on. At the end, the invaders were having things pretty much their own way despite the fact that their scoring thrusts were unavailing.
Crowd Disappointed
The large crowd, though thrilled by the spectacular end and off-tackle plays of the locals and the passing of the visitors, howled its disapproval at being unable to see Red Pine Armstrong, sensational Jacket halfback, in action. Armstrong spent the greater part of the game idling on the sidelines with an injured ankle. An attempt on the part of the Jacket management to appease the fans sent Armstrong into the contest, but only for about two minutes.
A forward passing attack in the waning minutes of the game came very near to proving a boomerang for the Royals. One of these long heaves was snatched down by Jim Gray, D.C halfback, who was immediately under way for what appeared to be a second touchdown. Mace Jefferson, however, in an attempt to form interference, tripped Gray. The game ended a few minutes later.
Balto. Vocational Triumphs Over Cardozo Eleven
BALTIMORE. Md. — Coming from behind a 7-0 score, the Baltimore Vocational gridders counted 13 points in their second period and 7 in their last to take the measure of the Cardozo High School eleven, from Washington, here last Friday. The final score was 20-7. Handy and Sifford went over for touchdowns for the Orioles, while the visiting Purple and White annexed through the efforts of Mitchell. The contest was a South Atlantic Conference meeting.
Bad Break Blaimed For Knoxville Loss
KNOXVILLE COLLEGE. Teen. — "Lady Jinx," who seems to be light in spilling, homecoming games, played the Knoxville Bulldogs here last week, as they lost to Fisk University, 2-0, in a bitterly 'ought contest. One had break in the third quarter caused the Bullldogs' downfall before a host of old grads, who returned for the annual' Homecoming celebration and coid classic. After Fisk had punted over the goal line and the ball was given to Knoxville on her own twenty-yard line, a bad pass from center was fumbled by Davis. The ball rolled back over the goal line and Fisk man fell on it for a safety to give the Neville 'wilders the victory by a score of 2-0

Florida Rattlers Rally;
Defeat Benedict
Getting off to a poor start with a fumble on the 3-yard line in the first five minutes of play the Florida Rattlers braced themselves last Saturday and hold a fighting Benedict line to four downs on their one-yard line. Kicking from behind their line Embry brought the ball to the 3-yard line and after two line fours and a pass carried it over for their goal, failing to convert for the extra point. Florida failed to get her backs clinking until the second quarter. After Everett had returned Dean's kick to the 22-yard line, the four backfield men punched the line and slid around the end for the goal with Everett's final smash through center. The final score was 21-6.

Maroon and Gold Defeated by Delawareans' Second Half Offensive
DOVER, Del. — Scoring three touchdowns inside of the first six minutes after the intermission between halves, the Delawae State Teachers' College team, completely humbled the visiting Miner Teachers' College eleven, here last Saturday afternoon. The final score was 24-13.
The Maroon and Gold from the Capital City fought valiantly, but vainly, to overcome the locals, counting a touchdown in each the third and fourth periods. Dover's teachers, however, were enjoying a comfortable lead and were never in any serious danger of being defeated.
Dover Opens Up
The Delawareans were on the long end of a 6-0 margin at the close of the first half. Coming back after the rest period, the locals began a sustained drive that was not to be denied. The remaining three markers were thus accounted for. Steve Wiggins, Miner quarterback, and Paul Cooke, substitute back, went over for the two visiting touchdowns. Link, Dover fullback, was easily best for the home town boys. He accounted for two markers.

A. and T., and Petersburg Elevens Battle to 6-6 Tie in Thriller
PETERSBURG, Va. — Virginia State College's Trojans and the A. and T. Bulldogs battled to a 6 to 6 deadlock, in a thrill-packed game in Rogers' Athletic Field, here last Saturday.
Coach Breeaux's chargers took advantage of an early break to score a touchdown in the first three minutes of the game. "Ace" Bailey, Virginia State's star halfback from Cleveland, Ohio, fumbled in the Trojans' first play of the game and Neely recovered for the Aggies on the State 15-yard line.
From here McClain and Graham, both of whom were good-gainers all day, plunged holes in the Trojan line to place the ball on the three-yard marker. Graham ripped through the center of the line to score. Norman's attempted placement kick went wild.
For the remainder of the period the Troians were held. But when they get possession on their own 44, early in the second period, as the result of an exchange of punts, they opened up a powerful ground attack which took them over the Agnies' goal line. Briscoe Bailey, and Jeter did the ball-carrying, the last named plunging over from the one-yard line to score. Poor' kick from placement was blocked by Lash, the Agnies' 200-pound left tackle.
Plan Social Activity For Hampton-Union Fans
NEW YORK. — Plans for a monster reception for the teams of Union and Hampton Institute Friday night after Thanksgiving lay football game in this city are being formulated by New York University Y. M. C. A. race relations officials.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 2, 1935
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
Football results for the first month of the 1935 campaign show that Washington has hit a new low in development—or rather lack of it—in the fall sport.
Last week's Tribune showed that the two college teams and two of the three local high school elevens went down to defeat before mediocre opposition. Howard was stumped by Virginia State, Miner bowed to Shaw. Cardozo succumbed to Douglass and Dunbar was topped by Bates (Annapolis).
Reports for the past week-end show that four of the five local teams played. Three of these, Howard, Miner and Cardozo, were humbled by West Virginia State, Dover Teachers' and Baltimore Vocational respectively. Armstrong, the other team, which saw action, gained a handy win over the Douglass High outfit.
We have seen many cases in which schools suffer from a lack of material or from internal disorders, etc. And there are occasions, even with the country's leading colleges, wherein their grid machines just don't seem able to click; they "can't get going" as the sporting element would say.
But when four out of any city's five teams begin dropping games consistently—and to teams they have been playing and beating regularly in the past—make no mistake about it, it's more than mere coincidence.
The present ailment, I think, is in the malady of "luke-warm coaching," I can't quite call it "cold coaching," because the fellows who are in charge of the various teams here deserve some credit for LOVING the game as they obviously do. Certainly, they are underpaid. Therefore, it has to be something beside the money they get out of it that makes them want to keep their jobs.
They are underpaid, and when a man is underpaid, and feels that he is, that feeling is sure to be reflected in his work. It stands to reason then, that I am not justified—even if I want to—to accuse these fellows of being "o gooders."
On the other hand, there isn't by any means anything "hot" about the gridiron tutoring in the District schools.
This is no personal grudge that prompts this article. And there is certainly no truth in the illusion that "Sam Lacy wants to see a winner all the time." I can take my losers along with the rest. But I like to see them OUT-PLAYED, not constantly OUT-THOUGHT.
I am personally acquainted with each of the coaches in the local schools. We have always hailed each other with the cheeriest of "hellos," and chatted cordially together. They are all swell fellows.
But so is Haile Selassie, as far as I know. And no matter how "regular" he is, how popular he may be with his followers, the Ethiopian emperor faces ultimate defeat at the hands of a better-equipped enemy.
Kings of Kings, Conquering Lion of Judah, Light of the World though he may be, Selassie (this may be hard swallowing for you racially-loyal fanatics), will doubtlessly bow in abjection to his adversary, eventually.
The current Washington football teams are much like the Abyssinian army; their coaches like the emperor. The change which has taken place in football can be likened to the change that has taken place in modern warfare.
Trying to win games with last year's football—or the year before last's—this year, is just the same as attempting to stop the advance of armed tanks and airplanes with spears and poison-flies.
Glen Warner, Jock Sutherland, Lou Little, Alonzo Stagg, Andy Kerr and our own Eddie Hurt—this is an attempt to draw a line of comparison—are never satisfied with the play of their teams. They are always seeking to improve their functioning. They are constantly watching for flaws in their systems. And they are invariably LOOKING AHEAD.
These men, through keen study, are nearly always one, or maybe two, jumps ahead of the game itself. Those of you who saw the 1933 Morgan team in action know now that the Bear coach anticipated such a broadening of the scope of the open game as is now, two years later, in effect. The same is true of Colgate and Columbia, white colleges. In some quarters Coach Kerr's lads are referred to as Marauding Magicians. They have a lateral-passing attack that borders on sleight-of-hand achievement.
Those fellows know how to use the airplane and machine-gun. They are not now hampered by the necessity of learning their uses and then teaching it to their understudies.
The coaches in our city seem ever to be on the wait for other teams to employ the latest methods so that they can pick them up and improve on them LATER. Louis Watson and Edgar Westmoreland didn't do that. But neither of them are now in harness here. The former couldn't learn how to say "Yes, sir," to his superiors at Howard and was compelled to accept a darned good post at Bordentown, N. J. The latter, for some reason or other, gave up his coaching berth at the beginning of the season.
The Notre Dame team which came half-way across the country to defeat Navy last Saturday, traveled with FOUR TEAMS. That FOURTH team, with a few minor changes, will most probably be the Notre Dame VARSITY of 1939.
That is the football version of preparedness.
Bob Considine, local daily scribe, tells us that no man is ever dropped from a Notre Dame squad. He stays on just as long as HE wants to; he stays and LEARNS.
By the end of four years, whether he plays first string or not, he can take a Boeing Pursuit to pieces and put it back together again—BLIND FOLDED.
"Hot coaching" has the men and the systems, they use, abreast of the game at all times. If the team is weak from lack of capable individual performers, then they will lose some games. BUT ONCE IN A WHILE THEY WILL MEET A TEAM THAT IS NOT ALWAYS A STRIDE OR TWO AHEAD OF THEM.
Cocoa Kid Winner
NEW ORLEANS, La—Louis "Kid Cocoa" Hardwick, New England wetterweight champion successfully turned back Wesley Farrell of New Orleans and former Southern lightweight champion here in 10 rounds.
McGee Loser

Armstrong Team Outplays Baltimore High School for Conference Victory
Held on even terms throughout the first period, the Armstrong High School football team, went on to score in each of the three remaining quarters to turn back the Douglass High School eleven of Baltimore, at Walker Stadium last Friday afternoon. The score was 19-0.
The victory kept the locals atop the standing in the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference.
The Baltimoreans, unable to accomplish much through the General forward wall, resorted to passing. This open game proved effective as a ground-gainer, but the Orange and Blue was always equal to the task of withstanding a scoring thrust.
Tech Passes
The Generals were also effective in the air. In fact it was a long heave, Clarke to Fields, which paved the way for the opening touchdown. The Tech quarterback took his teammate's heave and advanced to the Douglass 20-yard line before being downed. On the opening play of the second period, Finley went over tackle, reversed his field and weaved his way to the tallying stripe. Maurice Jackson converted the extra point.
Invaders Fumble
The Generals took advantage of a Duck fumble to gather their second 6-pointer. Recovering the ball on their opponents' 30-yard ribbon, the locals again took to the air. This time Clarke came out of a fake-spinner, jogged back and tossed 37 yards into the end zone where Gump Hamilton waited to gather the oval in. The Armstrong lads negotiated their final score on a pass from Clarke to Fields, the latter running 20 yards through a broken field to the counter.

Hampton Eleven Superior to Manny Rivero's Pennsylvania Aggregation
BY GEORGE MANN
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.
With the majority of the "regulars
on the bench, Coach Gid G Smith used
his second-stringers to topple the
Lincoln Lions 20-0 in a dull battle
here Saturday afternoon. The
Lions were bested throughout the
contest as Paige, Edwards and
Powell made tailles for the Pirates.
Outstanding for the visitors
were Little, Parker and Jackson
who constantly plunged their way
through the Pirate line for good
gains.
Paige's kick-off to Lincoln's 9-
yard line was brought up to the 20-
yard line by Stumpy Jackson before
Pirate tacklers nailed him. After
failing to gain on two plays,
Jackson fumbled and the ball was
recovered by Hampton on Lincoln's
20-yard strine.
From this point, the Pirate advanced to the Lions' 2-yard stripe in three downs. On a strong off-tackle play. Edwards pushed his way over for the initial score of the game. Montague's try for extra point failed.
Eight seconds before the end of the half. Powell. Pirate substitute back, snagged a Lincoln pass from the air on his 42-yard line and behind perfect interference galloped for the second Pirate touchdown, crossing the goal as the half ended.
Score Just Before End
In the last period the Lions tried a desperate aerial attack which failed as Captain Owens intercepted Parker's pass to Little. The game ended with the ball in the Pirates' possession five minutes after Paige skirted the left end to make the third Pirate touchdown.

EULACE PEACOCK THINKS NOTHING OF NAZI ACTION
Temple University Cinder Star Belittles Prejudice in Hitler's Berlin
CHICAGO. (ANP) — Despite the current controversy over whether or not the United States should participate in next summer's Olympic games in Berlin because of Nazi race prejudice, directed maily toward Jews, at least one prospective Negro member of the American team, Eulace Peacock, has no qualms about going. Peacock, Temple University student, who holds victories over Jesse Owens in the dashes and the broad jump and a member of last summer's American team that toured Europe made his position clear in a statement to the Associated Negro Press.
Germany One of 58
"I see no reason whatsoever for agitation on the part of Germany concerning American athletes competing in the 1936 Olympics," the athlete asserted. "Germany is playing only one part in the matter. She is providing the grounds and facilities with which the Olympics are to be held. There are 58 countries to compete and Germany comprises only 1-58th of the Olympics.
"As to my intentions; if I am able to qualify for the Olympic team I expect to compete in Berlin in 1936."
Sentiment Divided
Meanwhile sentiment over U. S. participation is sharply divided. A movement has been launched to keep America out because of Hitler's anti-Jewish attitude. It is predicted, however, that this attitude will lose and U. S. participation is practically conceded. Brig. Gen. Charles H. Sherrill, American member of the International Olympic committee, on his return to these shores after a seven-week trip abroad in Germany, during which this question was taken up with Hitler, foresees a distinct menace to Jews everywhere, because of an antisemitic wave which might sweep the nation if participation in 1936 is denied.

7:45 p.m.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — With the flying heels of Oz Simmons, Negro halfback, kicking dust into the faces of disheartened pursuers and blazing the trail for his team-mates to follow the University of Iowa football team served notice on the nation that it was on its way to a Big Ten Conference championship, here last Saturday. The Hawkeyes led by the indomitable Simmons and Captain Dick Crayne, white, humbled a tricky, chesty University of Illinois eleven by a score of 19.0, while 25,000 rabid spectators looked on.
Simmons Thrills
Twenty-five thousand spectators looked on—looked on in bewilderment as the bronze-hued Simmons got off on a dazzling 71-yard run shortly after the beginning of the second period to court the first Iowa touchdown and to start the Illini on the tobogan.
So nettled were the Illinois players by the uncanny feats of the colored star, that they were guilty of deliberately roughing him on several occasions. One of these was called when Tom Wilson, white, fullback of the home town boys, was caught in the act of roughing Simmons after the whistle had blown.
His act only served to further humiliate the Illini, for it was through the aid of the ensuing 15. yard penalty that the Hawkeyes were able to negotiate their second touchdown. The third marker was acquired by Crayne after Simmons had side-stepped his way to the Illinois 1-yard line. Iowa plays Indiana at Iowa City, Saturday.
Interest High For New York Game
NEW YORK, — With just a mo nt hoogtlweCaobadeycoffin—month to go before the Hampton-Union football game at the Polo Grounds Thanksgiving Day, interest in the affairs of both teams is picking up. Football fans are beginning to talk about the great old days when Union and Hampton fought it out on the old field on Union's grounds near the strong buildings atop the hill. And then the progress from the old "gravel pit" days to Hovey Field across the street or road from the main building of Union. A traditional "Turkey Day" game, the Hampton-Union fray, will bring rooters for both teams from as far north as Boston and up-state New York. Tickets for the game will be placed on sale in New York shortly and the Union boosters club will soon take on some semblance of life.

Bluefield Big Blues 12-8 in a sen-
sational contest on Bain Field here
Sunday. The Pirates rang up
their third consecutive victory at
the expense of the Big Blues.
Chafing under the 7-6 defeat of
last season the Pirates opened up
their guns in the first few minu-
tes of the game and before the
end of the first quarter, Dismond
crossed the double strip for the
initial tally
A first period drive was turned
into a Hampton tonch-down after
Taylor hurled the pizskin to Hook-
er who in return shot a lateral to
Dismond. Dismond’s try for the
extra point went wide. The re-
‘mainder of the first quarter was a
see saw affair with the Pirates zet-

‘The West Virginians entered

play, was thrown for a loss and
kicked the ball into Hampton. ter-

lor's punt was blocked and the
Blues scored a safety bringine the
score to 6-2. Both elevens stalled
for a brief moment fighting with
their backs to the wall for the
break of the game. This break
came when a pass hy Montague
was intercepted by Flippen who
dashed 58 .vards to the goal to
bring the Blues to a two point lead.
In the second half of the affray
hoth elevens displayed some of the
hest_ gridiron technique ever used
by C.LA.A teams. The Big Blues
defense led by Red Johnson is one
of the best ever seen in this part
‘of the country. Hampton got its

its first game of the season, 19 to

season’s largest crowds.
The defeat was a heartbreaker
to the battling Tigers who fought
so valiantly in the first half to
make their homecoming crowd of
4,000 happy with the spirit of vie-
tory.
The tide of battle did not turn
Kentuckyward until the latter part
of the final period when. Kendall,
the aceurate-passing Thorobred,
grabbed a. freak ‘Tuskegee punt
which landed in midfield and
bounded back to the Tigers’ 30-
yard line, and raced 30 yards down
the left side of the field for the
winning touchdown. Each team
had scored two touchdowns apiece
prior to this tally. Charles Smith,
junior, from Miami, Fla, with
Mobley holding the ball, kicked
both extra points fer Tuskegee.

Today in the placid village of
Institute, West Va., joy reigns su-
preme. “And here's the reason.
‘Last Saturday afternoon a West
Virginia State College eleven ran
roughshod over a band of ball-car-
ries and tacklers sport the silks of
the Howard University of this city.
The final score was 38-6.
And whenever a West Va., team
tops a Howard eleven, there is
cause for rejoicing. Especially is
this true when a Mountaineer
team so completely humbles an ag-
gregation of Howard Bisons as
they did last Market day.
Howard Scores
West Virginia started scoring
early in the first quarter when
Meadows on a reverse from the
Howard 15-yard line galloped &-
round the left end and raced across
the goal line for six points. The
kick by Bird was wide-
Howard then received the kick
and marched from their 20-yard
on a sustained drive, 80 yards for
their only score of the game. This
drive was featured by the excel-
lent passing of Justin Plummer and
the plunging of Lavert Armstrong,
who made the score on a plung of
two yards through center,
Bisons Outmached
From that point on, it was hard-
ly a contest so far as West Vir-
ginia was concerned. The Yellow
jackets peeled off yard after yard,
scoring five more touchdowns be-
fore a kindly time-keeper sounded
‘his gun to end the game,
During the entire last half the
Bisons were mainly on the de-
fense. In the first 2 periods of
the game Plummer of Howard was
a constant threat because of his
excellent passing ability. Arm-
strong, Howard's quarter played
the entire game. The plucky, form-
er Dunbar High School’ star,
plunged, ran, tackled and all in all
was Howard's outstanding player.

beaten by Bowman and a com.

he was fired upon by Bowman.
Blackburn's friends contend that
he was unarmed and therefore
could do no shooting:
On the other hand Bowman de-
clares that Blackburn was the
agressor not only in the initial
fight in which the ex-prizefighter
was the loser, but that he fired

NEW YORK.—Since the open-

September, Negroes have shown
their wares on the stages of thea-
tre row with Todd Duncan and
Anne Brown with an_old-colored
cast in “Porgy and Bess” which
opened at the Alvin Theatre, Oc-
tober 10. “Mulatto” by Langston
Hughes, which deals with the race
question, had its premiere Thurs-
day, October 24, at the Vanderbilt
Theatre. ‘The cast of ‘Mulatto”
includes Stuart Beebe, Rose Me-
Clendon, Frank Jaquet, Jeanne
Greene, John Boyd, and Hurst
Amy.
“Porey and Bess” are receiving
favorable mention,
Ethel Waters appears on the
stage in “At Home Abroad” and
Stepin Fetchit appeared in person
at the Roxy. Richard Huey is in
the cast of “Three Men on a
Horse” which has been plaving

house-
The most talked-of attraction is
“Porgy and Bess” the music of
which was written hy George Ger-
shwin (white) of which he (Gersh-
win) stated in an article in the
New York Times:
“Porgy and Bess”
“Humor is an important part of
American life, and an American
opera without humor could not
possibly run the gamut of Amer-
jean expression. In. ‘Porgy and
Bess’ there are ample opportuni-
ties for humorous songs and
danees, This humor is natural hu-
mor—not ‘gags’ superimposed up-
on the story but humor flowing
from the story itself,
“For instance, the character of
Sportin’ Life, instead of being a
sinister dope-peddler, is a humor-
ous, dancing villian, who is likeable
and believable and al the same
time vile. We were fortunate in
finding for that role a young man
whose abilities suit it perfectly,
John W. Bubbles, or, as he is
Known to followers of vaudeville,
just. plain Bubbles, of Buck and
Bubbles. We were equally for-
tunate in finding Todd Duncan for
the role of Porgy and Anne Brown
for the role of Bess, both of whom
give to the score intense dramatic
value. We were able to find these
People because what we wanted
from them lies in their race. And
thus it lies in our story of their
race. Many people auestioned my

Louis Armstrong, king of the trumpet, was heard over a coast- to-
coast airing over the National Broadcasting Company recently, with
Walter Winchell, national!y known Broadway columnist as master- of-
ceremonies, This reminded the writer of Louis’s solo occasionally
when he was just another cornet player, tooting at the Savoy ballroom
in Chicago in an orchestre and broadcasting over WMAQ in Years gone
by.
“Anytime one can break attendance records established by Duke
Ellington and Claude Hopkins, he is worthy of note. Iam speaking of
none other than Louis Armstrong, “Gate,” as fellow musician and rela-
tives may tab him or “Satchmo” as the sophisticated Britisher would
claim him. At the Apolo Theatre in Harlem, recently where he was
siving personal appearances, one evening the’ doors had to be closed
&t 8 pm. to the public because of the record breaking crowd that was
milling around the entrance, ard the police was called to restore order.
Clyde Barrie, young CBS baritone, will be heard in an-
other versatile program on Saturday from 10:15 to 10:30

Leoni’s “Tally Ho.” and a colorful spiritual “My Law What
a Morning-” Sidney Raphael will accompany him at the

Jongleur.”

fame known to Broadway. Making a hit in the “Cotton Club Revue”
of two years ago, when she popularized the song, “Stormy Weather,”
she Was immediately signed to appear in the successful musical produe-
tion, “As Thousands Cheer.” Her interpretation of “Heat Wave” soon

infectious manner and oviginal style of presenting the numbers that
made them best sellers: She is now appearing in the new musical show,

| Clark Gable in “Call of the
Wild,” with Loretta Young anc
Jack’ Oakie, will be the feature
presentation at the Lincoln The-
atre for an entire week starting
Friday, November 1- A story of
unbridied romance which recog-
nizes only nature's laws, it is a
literal interpretation of “the call
of the wild,” produced as a stir-
ring saga of the last of our great
frontiers and invested with a dra-
matic love story-
Gable swashbuckles through the
gold camps, a picturesque pros-
pector ready to stake his fortune
on the flip of a coin, His code is
the code of the frontier—a rough
but honest variation of the “gold-
en rule” Into his life comes

socialite,
Life becomes a primitive thing,
with the artificial lustre of civili-
zation stripped from it. Their
close companion is “Buck,” the

‘No Man’s Range”
Bob Steele
About once in a blue moon a
Western emerges from the ruck
of pictures that the most captious
critic can’t find anything wrong
with, That's the case with “No
Man’s Range,” the hurricane-ac-
tion melodrama of the open, star-
ring Bob Steele. It offers a little
of everything that goes to the
making of first-class entertain-
ment,
The action is what that of every
good Western shoud be — sharp,
decisive, and breezing along at
top-speed, the romantic angle is
just what touches the hearts of
impressionable spectators, there's
saving humor of timely comedy
relief, and a climax that crashes
like a thunder-clap-
It’s playing at the Dunbar The.
atre Saturday, Sunday ond Mon-
day, November 2, 3 and 4; and
you ought to hear the kiddies yell
when Bob gallops in pursuit of th:
villain, or clubs his way with
swinging fists through a gang of
bad men, intent on his capture!

|IN THE SHADOW
OF THE STARS
| By Abbe" Wallace
AB. C—1 want to know if my
daughter will stand firm and will
be true to me while she is away?
Ans: Your daughter will keep
her promise to you and you won't
have to worry about her disgract
ing you or giving you trouble.
However, she doesn’t intend to give
up all of her good times while she
is in school. She intendd to have
a lot of fun.
E. M—Will you tell mg why my
mother and my girl friend's moth
er won't let us go out to parties
much?
Ans: Your mother, as well as
your girl friend’s mother feels that
you are both too young to be go-
ing out very regularly at night-
However, you'll both be granted
the privilege of going out Hallow-
een Night.
B. C: G.—Will I ever meet any-
one that I will be happy with?
Ans.: The trouble with you is
that you are tired of the same old
crowd and the boys you have been
going with- a thoroughly en-
Joy it if you'll join some of the
clubs in your community. — You
can meet a lot of nice boys there
that you can be happy with.
G. H- Y—Is my girl friend go-
ing with any one else but me?
She doesn't seem to act the same
lately?
Ans: She certainly is going
with znother man and that is why
she keeps refusing to give you
dates from time to time. She
appears to be getting more and
more interested in him—This man
she is going with now is the one
that gave her the new wrist watch.
N. C.—Please tell me why T don't
have any luck? I never have any
money or clothes:
Ans.: The trouble with you is
that you are being a sucker and
don't know it, The girl you are
going with now is just a little gold
digger, and she is going to get
every ‘dime possible out of you.
The only way for you to have any-
thing is to drop her sight now-
F. W—Should my husband re-
sign?
Ans.: Even though your husband
isn't very happy wheve he is work-
ing, I advise him to hold on to the
Job, for it won't be an ezsy matter
to find something else to do dur-
ing the winter months. He'll rea-
lize that it would be-a mistake to
resign now:

doing now: Your income will show
a large increase during the year
of 1936,
I. P-—How does my husband feel
toward me now?
Ans.: Just the same as he did
when he married you. He loves
you dearly. Your husband isn’t the
type that changes and if you'll
treat him right, he'll always re-
main a good husband to you
A. J—I would like to know why
my boy fiend acted the way he
did?
Ans.: The boy you mef recently
appears to have been married at
the time and couldn't hardly af-
ford to become serious with you-
He merely wanted to have a little
excitement while away from New
York.
J. M- J.—What would my father
think if I should marry the young
man I am in love with now?
Ans.: Your father doesn't dis-
approve of this young man nearly
as much as he pretends but he
doesn’t want you to fall in love
When he finds out that you are
really in love and want to marry
your boy friend, then I don’t be-

NITE CLUB
APPEAL UP
FRIDAY
The order of the Alcoholic Con-
trol Board, revoking the license
of. the Cotton Club, located at
Tenth and U Streets, Northwest,
im the Masonic Temple, was sus-
pendsd by the District Commis-
sioners this week, pending un ap-
peal to be heard Friday morning
at 10:30, in the Board Room of the
District Building:
The board had ordered the Cot-
ton Club to cease selling any
alcoholic beverages after mid-
night last Tuesday, charging that
it was violating its license oy per-
mitting the premises to be used
for disorderly conduct, selling
liquor to intoxicated patrons, sell-
ing liquor after hours, and per-
mitting intoxicated persons to re-
main on the premises.
Citizens Protests
The case grew out of complaints
of citizens who live in the neigh-
borhood, who protested that the
place was disorderly, and that the
noises emanating from the club
were so loud that it was diffcult
for them to sleen after midnight.
Frederick D. Wilkinson, rezistrar
of Howard University, served as
spokesman for the citizens in ask.
ing that the license be revo'ed-
May Close Club
Following the order of the board,
Louis Hurwitz, white, owner of
the club, announced that he would
close the club, the Temple Lunch-
eonetie and Drug Co., on Tuesday,
throwing some 80 people out of
work. His later decision to ap-
peal to the District Commissioners
brought about a suspension of the
board order, and the premises wil!
remain open until the decision of
the commissioners has been made

ed in thirteen body styles, includ-
[ing standard and de luxe’ models
It has been put on display in deal-
‘ers’ showrooms.
The Tudor touring sedan is pic-
‘tured above.
Among outstanding changes are
improved steering and gear shift-
ing and the use of pressed-steel
wheels. The grille has been made
more pointed, the fenders both at
front and rear deeper, giving the
car a greater massiveness in ap-
pearance,
Bodies, with the same dimen-
sions as those of 1935, except for
greater width in_ the four-door
sedans, include: Three and _ five
window coupes, roadster and cabrio-
let with rumble seat, phaeton,
two-door and four-door sedans and
the same sedans with built-in
tranks. In addition there js the
de luxe convertible sedan Wheel-
base remains at 112 inches, All
other models may be obtained with
de Inxe equipment except the five-
window coupe and the two-door and
four-door sedans. Safety glass is
provided all around.
Mechanica! refinements in the
steering assembly are said to re-
duce the effort of turning the car
by about 25 per cent. The steering
ratio has been raised from 15 to 1
to 17 to 1. Tt is now possible to
set the steering wheel so that the
“high spot” conforms with the
straight-ehead position of _ the
front wheel- An adjustable drag
link has been incorporated to elim.
inate play. ‘
For more quiet year shifting
helical gears are now used in. low
and reverse, as well as in second
and high, as they were last year.
‘The ‘synchonizer between second
and high is retained.
The new wheels have a centre
section welded: to the rim, and are
said to be about five pounds light-
er, though comparable in strength
with those formerly used. An ad-
vantage is that they are easier to
clean than the spoke wheels,
In the new models special atten-
tion has been devoted to silencing
the operating parts as well as pre-
venting outside noise from coming
in. The drive shaft has been im-
proved to reduce sound at the rear
axle, and sound deadening mate-
Tia's have heen placed on the floor,
at the dashboard and the body
panels.
About, the only change -made- in
the engine js the increase in the
radiator’ capacity to five-and-one-
half gallons, and the placing of
louvres under the front fenders to
increase the flow’ of air through
the engine compartment.

used in all the new cars, and the

Hostile to Anti-lynch Bill
NEW YORK. — Congressman
Arthur W. Mitchell's open hostility
to the Costigan-Wagner federal
anti-lynching bill made the N. A.-
A. C. P. realize it was useless to

in which the only Negro congress-
man complained'the N. A’A. C.:P;
had not sought his aid, was insin-
cere in its fight for the anti-lynch-

toa bunch of Communists.”
Mr. Mitchell was asked to sup-
port the Costigan-Wagner bill Dee-

BOARD OF EDUCATION IS PRAISED
New Negro Alliance Says They Agree with Board's Ruling on Communism
Maintaining that forces of bigotry and intolerance are unwittingly aided by withholding information about Communism, the New Negro Alliance has praised the stand of the Board of Education in authorizing the dissemination of such information in the public schools.
A letter to the Board of Education, signed by William H. Hastie, administrator, submitted that "no person genuinely interested in the development of public education, however much he may disapprove of Communism, can contend that the students in our local high school's should be kept in ignorance of the nature and history of communistic government and economy."
The foll text of the letter follows:
"The New Negro Alliance wishes to endorse and express appreciation for the action of the Board of Education in authorizing and approving the dissemination of in-approving the dissemination in appropriate courses in the public schools of the District of Columbia.
No person genuinely interested in the development of public education, however, much he may disapprove of communism, can contend that the students in our local high schools should be kept in ignorance of the nature and history of communistic government and economy. Indeed, it is obvious that no intelligent criticism of com-
munism is possible without such knowledge.
We are confident that the views here expressed are those of thousands of citizens of this District who realize that those who condemn the action of the board in this case are deliberately or unwittingly aiding the forces of bigotry and intolerance which under pretext of preserving American institutions, are moving toward the nullification of that Bill of Rights in which the founders of the Republic sought to guarantee the preservation of liberty under democracy."
HOMICIDE
(Continued from Page 1)
antiquated morgue rent the air with mingled sobs and exclamations while morgue attendants rushed the sick woman into the very room in which the jury had deliberated for emergency treatment. Dr. J. McGruder McDonald, District Coroner, administered first aid. Subsequently, she was taken to the District Jail to await her fate by the Grand Jury.
Only 10 minutes before, Mrs. Chase, acting under the advice of her attorneys, Houston and Houston, had taken the stand in her own defense. Sobbing hysterically with every uttered word, she related the circumstances under which she shot her 220-pound husband during an altercation at their home last Sunday night.
Chase was taken to Providence Hospital after the shooting Sunday and died without fully gaining consciousness Tuesday night.
Married 10 Years
Mrs. Chase told the jury that her husband, said to have been intoxicated, argued with her over her refusal to give him $2 which she did not have. According to her testimony, he rushed to the hiding place of a revolver which was kept in the house for protection. Beating him to the pistol, which, incidentally, had been moved to another hiding place, without his knowledge, the blonde wife grabbed the revolver and fired one shot at her husband as he struck her with his fist. The bullet entered his abdomen and subsequently caused peritonitis, the cause of his death. Throughout the ten years of their married life, Chase had treated her cruelly and she feared him. Mrs. Chase told the jury.
Brother Testified
Wilbur Williams, 20- year-old brother of the woman and only eye-witness to the shooting, testified. Others who took the stand were Policeman Thomas S. Delaney, friend of the Chases for over 10 years, Lawrence Coleman.

Coleman with Lloyd, Butler and Williams had been guests at the Chase home prior to the shooting. An argument between Chase and Coleman over alleged firtations of Coleman and Mrs. Chase preceded the argument over the $2, according to witnesses. When the shooting occurred all had left the house except Williams and Butler. Butler told the jury he was leaving by way of a rear door when the shot was fired.
Funeral services for Chase we held Monday morning from the St. Vincent De Paul Church, South Capitol and M Streets. Burial was at the Mount Olivet Cemetery.
Surviving him are his widow, Aline Chase, one sister, Mrs. Maggie Gladden: two brothers, Perry and Will'am Chase; four nieces and four nephews.

tween her and Williams, and that she had not spent any time with him since their marriage, and that she maintains only a speaking acquaintance.
The party of four, she said, were on their way to Highland Beach when one of them jokingly said "Let's get married." The rest of them took it up, she said, and as they passed through Annapolis, they purchased the licenses, continued their journey to Highland Beach, and returned a few minutes later to Annapolis where they were married in a double ceremony.
They married on a dare, Miss Harris said. None had the courage to back out after agreeing that they would get married, she said.
Mrs. Williams said that neither she nor Mrs. Risher were devoted to their husbands, and they had never had any affection for them, and vice versa. Their big problem now, she confessed, is finding a way to have their marriages annulled.
Howard U. President to Speak at Mt. Carmel
Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, will be the principal speaker at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church, Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service, when the twenty-third anniversary of the pastor, the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, will be observed. The Treble Clef Quartet composed of Mrs. Ethel V. Gibbs, director; Mrs. L. T. Moore, Mrs. D.E. Clark and Mrs. Bessie Mercer, will render music. At 3 p.m. the Rev. J. L. Henry, pastor of the Tenth Street Baptist Church, will preach. The Rev. Mr. Henry will be accompanied by his choir. The evening sermon will be preached by the Rev. T. J. Smith of New York City. The anniversary celebration will close on Monday night, with appropriate exercises and a reception in the lower temple.
CROSS BILL WINS HUBBY DIVORCE
Wife's Original Action Dismissed Following Proof Of Her Misconduct
Charges encouched in a cross-bill for divorce having stood up, John Mitchell, an employee of the George Washington University, was granted an absolute divorce from his wife, Mrs. Taddie Vivian Mitchell, 737 Euclid Street, Northwest; last Thursday. The decree was signed by Justice Csar R. Luhring |ortly after he had dismissed the original bill filed by Mrs. Mitchell last March. The husband was represented by Attorney Nathan A. Dobbins.
Counter Charge
Mr. Mitchell's petition, filed as an answer to his wife's accusations, placed the blame for their separation on the shoulders of the original plaintiff. He stated that it was not he who was carrying on an affair with another woman (as charged by Mrs. Mitchell) but that it was she who was guilty of misconduct. The husband's cross-bill accused Mrs. Mitchell of an illicit relationship with James G. Braxton, 737 Euclid Street, Northwest. At the time of the filing of his answer, the husband knew the alleged paramour only as "Bryston." The man was cited as co-defendant in that name, "Bryston."
Hubby Pays Visit
The court issued the decree after having been convinced that Mrs. Mitchell, the original complainant, had been guilty of infidelity. This opinion was brought about largely through testimony which purported to show that Mr. Mitchell and two friends, at 2:30 o'clock in the morning, on June 27 last, had gone to the Euclid Street address and found Mrs. Mitchell and Mr. Braxton occupying the same quarters. Custody of their 6-year-old daughter was also given the father by the court's decision. It was ordered that the mother be permitted to see the child at times and places deemed reasonable.

Procession Colorful
An academic procession, with scores of delegates representing most of America's great institutions of learning, both colored and white, had wended its way down the leafy, winding road this perfect autumn afternoon, through ranks of students drawn up tautly as a guard of honor. The organ pealed forth in a chorale improvisation. The Rev. Arthur Howe delivered the invocation:
William L. Dawson lifted his baton and the choir sang "Go Down Moses," as arranged by Burleigh. Judge C. E. Thomas, a trustee, gave the salutation. The Tuskegee quartet, veterans of many a campaign for the institution, intoned "Trumping," and as its last notes ended, Claude A. Barnett, of Chicago, representing the board of trustees, formally presented Dr. Patterson to Chairman Schieffelin. As Dr. Schieffelin pronounced the official words of induction, Honorary Marshal War. ren Logan extended the medallion insignia of office to the chairman, and the new president was officially confirmed.
Moton Ill
Greetings from institutions and individuals from over the entire country have been received. Dr. Robert Moton, from his home in Virginia, where he lies convalescing, wrote: "In spirit I shall be at Tuskegee today, but I find myself unequal to the physical task of making the trip."
The Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, Canon of Washington Cathedral and president of the Phelps Stokes Fund, in discussing the part which foundations had played in the success of Tuskegee, said, "The foundations, including the Slater, Peabody, Carnegie, Spelman, Jeanes, Rosenwald and Phelps Stokes Fund, and the General Education Board have given Tuskegee Institute about three million dollars, representing approximately 15 per cent of the total gifts made to the institution since its establishment. This is striking evidence of the confidence of the foundations in Tuskegee-
Mary McLeod Bethune, speaking for the women of the country, said, "We bring a tribute of gratitude to the matchless founder of Tuskegee and his illustrious successor as well as to the teachers and friends of this institution, for the rugged paths over which they have led us to this mountain peak of inspiration and training." George Foster Peabody, famed philanthropist and friend of the school, wired greetings.
To protect automobiles left out of doors from rain an Arkansas man has invented waterproof curtains wound on spring rollers to be mounted on car roofs and drawn down and hooked to the bumpers and running boards when needed.
MISS M. E. GIBBS, VETERAN SCHOOL TEACHER, DIES
Stevens School Principal Dies from Sudden Illness; Taught Fifty-four Years
Funeral services for Miss Milfred E. Gibbs, for many years principal of the Thaddeus Stevens School, will be held Friday afternoon from the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, the Rev. Walter H Brooks, pastor, officiating.
Miss Gibbs died at her home, 1128 New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest. Death followed an illness of decidedly brief duration. She had taken a drive with friends on Sunday, and was apparently in the best of health. Stricken late that night, Miss Gibbs died shortly after midnight.
Appointed to the local school system in 1881. Miss Gibbs occupied her position as a teacher since that time. Although teaching was her chosen profession and she was already thus employed. Miss Gibbs nevertheless, continued her studies.
54 Years in Service
Attending Howard University in her spare time, the deceased acquired her degree as a doctor of medicine in 1901. Three years later, she was appointed to the principalship of the Stevens School. In addition to her work as an educator, Miss Gibbs was quite active in charitable work. She was a member of several organizations doing work of a benevolent nature. The late Stevens principal is credited with a number of innovations in school work. Socialized recitation and departmentalization of elementary school work, introduced in 1917 and still in vogue in the system, were among these measures
HOLD DRIVER OF TRUCK IN DEATH OF 3-YEAR-OLD
Robert Hicks, 31, Held Responsible in Loss of Life of Paul Butler
Accused of negligence in his driving, Robert Hicks, aged 31, 310 D Street, Southwest, was ordered held for the action of the grand jury following a coroner's inquest in a child's fatality late last week. Hicks was held in connection with the death of Paul Butler. 3 years old, 1307 South Capitol Street, run down on September 11, by a truck driven by Hicks. The child was crossing the street near his home at the time of the mishap. The man was the first to be sentenced under the new negligent homicide law for reckless driving.
Previously Sentenced
When first charged, Hicks demanded a jury trial. This was withdrawn and he entered a plea of guilty. Judge John P. McMahon, of police court, sentenced him to 180 days in jail.
At the time of the accident, Daniel Rogers, colored, owner of the truck, was held as an accessory, police charging that the vehicle was mechanically defective. The case against Rogers was nolle prossed later.
U. S. Resumes Diplomatic Relations With Liberia
MONROVIA. Liberia. — Full diplomatic relations were resumed between the United States and Liberia, October 2, after a lapse of five years, when Lester A. Walton, minister to the African republic, presented his credentials to President Edwin J. Barclay.
Minister Walton accompanied by Frederick P. Hibbard, Charge D-Affairs ad interim was escorted from American Legation to the Executive Mansion by a squad of the Liberian frontier force under the command of Capt. Henry W. Dennis and frontier force band, which played American airs.

The appointment of Richard R. Horner, prominent local attorney, as a special assistant to the United States District Attorney, was confirmed this week by Leslie C. Garnett, District Attorney, in a statement to the Tribune. Garnett said that the appointment was made by Attorney General Homer S. Cummings, and that Horner had been assigned to special duty in the District Police Court.
The appointment of a Negro in the District Attorney's office had been urged by the Washington Bar Association and the various civic associations in the District. Members of the Washington Bar Association said they were well pleased with the appointment of Horner to the position.
Horner had strong backing for the Municipal Court Botch, to succeed former Judge James A-Cobb. It is understood that as a result of that backing, Horner had been offered the appointment by Mr. Cummings, but had turned it down.
For six years, Horner served on the District Board of Education He was appointed July 1, 1907, and again in 1910, serving until 1913.

Food, clothing, shelter and human associations are vital to the continuance of life here on earth. Those who provide the goods and services which satisfy those demands are in business. Business is the greatest public servant, and thrives only as it serves.
Those who have courage, vision and knowledge from experience invest their capital in providing such services. Some merely wait upon others, some make the goods, some bring them nearer to you, some prepare the goods for immediate consumption, and some merely remove the illth and refuse from your satisfaction. It all constitutes the service for which you pay in money called a price.
Here in the nation's capital, the thousands who serve the millions of population of the whole country, must have other services and goods brought to them. That makes Washington such a good business center. Washington buyers are hard to satisfy, just because so many of them are not in business themselves.
Fifty per cent of our group is in domestic service, hence they too must buy other goods and services. That makes business among colored buyers in Washington so much better than elsewhere.
Few recognize that colored buyers spending but twenty-five cents a day, or $34,250, spend in a year more than twelve million dollars. That is a minimum estimate. It is, however, no mean market and a bid for any part of it through the pages of The Washington Tribune, is bound to bring to the business man an increase in the volume of his trade.

Winter is approaching and its needs are always insistent. Better business in Washington is here, and the better business for the dealers who cater to our group is possible through advertising and giving the kind of services our people demand.
Out of the depression we shall come with more sense and less money.
We wonder if the New York Newspaper Guild will declare a strike against the failure of white New York newspapers to employ colored men and women on their staffs. The Guild is 100 per cent with the strikers as long as its a jim crow strike of Negroes on a Negro paper.
If the Guild is sincere in its attempt to better working conditions among Negroes it will fight for Negro writers and workers on all newspapers. Heywood Broun and other white writers would certainly prove their sincerity if they would demand of their white employees the employment of Negroes.
Until the Guild fight is taken out of the segregated class we fail to get excited over its picketing of the New York Amsterdam News in an attempt to force Mrs. Sadie Warren Davis to take back several dismissed employees
The Guild has an excellent opportunity to render a real service and win the support of the entire Negro population of the country. That is if it really means what it claims. Until then we for one take it as any other Greek bearing gifts.
Those who "flet George do it" soon find out that George has already done it!

The Call to Duty
To the Editor:
Your writer has learned from what he regards as an authoritative source that the United States Supreme Court's decision in the widely known "Scottsboro Case" has been the cause of the phenomenal increase of the number of Negroes called for jury duty in the South.
Before the decision which altered the history of the courts in the South of our nation and sent the
States, (Delaware down to Florida), 122,134 persons here, but born in that section. Interest in problems of their communities does not mark the colored residents of those areas. We find 90 out of every 100 of our people then, with very little interest in such matters here, in one of the most beautiful and well-governed communities in the United States. This situation loads down heavily upon every movement to better the city. It makes campaigns for membership in civic societies of great importance. It makes it necessary to interest property-holders and renters who are the more numerous, and who get, or ought to get greater benefits. It weakens the importance of our numbers and proportion of the total population.
It is the duty of every neighborhood civic organization to carry this message of civic duty to the householders in the neighborhood. It is as important as seeking members for church or donations for this and that movement, or selling tickets.
Invitations ought to be issued to the neighbors, and the personal responsibility of every individual explained by qualified speakers. Even junior members ought to be enlisted to awaken civic responsibility in the coming generations.
Affecting every home, every job and every organization, the general civic conditions call for the best that everyone can give to the common life.
Large and important social improvements are listed for Washington, and the intelligent co-operation of every household will be needed to make them successful.
Citizenship is a privilege and all privileges carry responsibilities. As a general clearing house for our civic problems, we have the Civic Federation of the District of Columbia, a body composed of delegates from the neighborhood societies and lending weight to the solution of their problems.
Opportunities for that much discussed "leadership" may be found in this kind of work for both women and men.
A fellow needs both education and religion in a world like ours.
Believe It or Not, in Negro History
THE DISAPPOINTED SLAVOCRACY .. During the heat of the fight against abolition of slavery, one Hon. Robert J. Walker offered an argument to line-up the Northern states against the movement, these calculations: "If the free blacks increase as they have, there will be in 1890, 1,600,000 of them, but if emancipation takes place, then those same states of New York, Pennsylvania New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, will have living among them 3,200,000 such free blacks."

The fact was that in 1890 there were but 415,283 colored persons in those states, and now there are but 1,671,000. The slight matter of an error of one or two million in 45 years in the calculation was nothing to a Negro-hater thriving on any kind of statement that will traduce his fellow-man.
We need to learn to: Find the facts; Face the facts; Follow the facts; in our war to maintain our place in human society.
There needs to be created in the mind of every youth an intellectual curiosity.

Social Pretentions Among Negroes
Roughly speaking, society is divided into three classes—the upper, the middle and the lower. Only those belong to the upper class who are able to live, educate their children and give them a footing in life without working for a living, and are wholly free from the anxieties of a livelihood. The middle class is composed of men in professions, politics, business, commerce and the higher ranks of the technical and skilled pursuits, from which they derive a competent living with marginal time and income for intellectual and cultural activities. To the lower class is assigned those whose chief energies are engrossed in the rougher and coarser forms of toil from which they derive scarcely more than the bare necessities of life.
According to this classification there is no upper class among Negroes (though the up-pish class often mistake themselves for the upper class) and a comparatively small number are in the middle class. The great bulk of the race falls in the lowest classification.

Among the Southern States for the first time to call Negroes for jury since the Scottsboro decision, Alabama of course should lead the list.

been grotesque and bizzare. Wherever a handful of Negroes rose above the bulk of their kind, they at once set up superficial and silly distinctions.
THE BEGINNING OF THE NEGRO'S SOCIAL CLASS
The house servants differentiated themselves from the field hands on the ground that they wore better clothes, ate better food, and enjoyed closer association with the master and mistress of the manor.
The cook, the coachman and the barber took first rank in Negro society. During and after Reconstruction, office-holding became the badge of distinction. Negro Senators, Congressmen and political left-overs of the Reconstruction regime gave an artificial impulse to Washington Negro society from which it has not wholly recovered down to this present day. At one time a government clerk, along with a Washington school teacher, were the social arbiters and law givers. When the Negro first began to go to college, academic degrees adorned their visiting cards and admitted the holder at once to the exclusive elite circles. Upon the rise of the professional class, the teacher, preacher, lawyer and physician were assigned first place. PRESENT STATUS OF

MONEYED SOCIALITES
This silly social aristocracy was accompanied by mimicry of manners, dress and carriage (not character) of white social celebrities from whom they borrowed the form rather than the substance of social distinction.
Wealth inherited is always more honorific than wealth acquired for it gives basis of hereditary social distinction. So far as wealth is concerned, there never has been, is not now nor is there likely to be, in the near future, any considerable class of Negroes of independent income, aside from occupation, sufficient to maintain themselves and their families without current earnings.
The very few individual instances of Negroes who have had a little fortuitous wealth have not, as a rule, furnished a wholesome or encouraging example. They have scarcely been able to transmit to their children either the wealth or the cultural reenforcement of a sustained social elite.

I have studied the situation at Howard University for more than fifty years. Very, very seldom have students, whose parents could pay their bills without strain, with extra allowance for social gaities and frivolities, justified the expense lavished upon them or kept pace with their poorer fellow students who had to struggle for existence.
It does not seem likely that Negroes' social distinction, in the near future at least, can be based upon the possession of wealth. The number of wealthy Negroes or even the well-to-do Negroes is less today than it was a generation ago, and is likely to be less in the future than it is today. He is an optimist of the first water who has the daring to prophesy that wealth will be the portion of the Negro under the hard industrial and economic lot which he is now facing. Whatever social pretensions, therefore, to which the Negro may aspire must be based upon grounds other than the ownership of wealth.

Intelligence, character, culture and high-mindedness everywhere are supplanting the old foundation of social gradation.
These must form the pillars upon which the Negro's new social life must be built.
WASHINGTON'S SOCIAL GROUP
LACKS CO. ORDINATION
Washington is the one city in the nation which has the best basis for development of elite Negro society, which, after all in final analysis, must rest upon occupation and income. These must enable the participants to lead a cultural life above the bare level of subsistence.
Washington has eight to nine hundred Negro school teachers whose average educational and cultural opportunities and whose average remuneration is higher than that of any other element in the community. No other city has so large a class of highly cultural and highly remunerated educators. There are ten times that number of Negroes employed in the Federal government whose salaries rank well above that which the race receives in other pursuits either here or elsewhere. Among those government employees there is a considerable contingent in the higher levels of the service who are men of college education and cultural outlook.
There is always the smaller group of distinguished Negroes in the higher levels of public service such as judges, recorders, diplomats and high-grade assistants in the several departments of the government. Of course, no other city can duplicate this number. Howard University, the premier institution of higher learning for the Negro race, is located here with a faculty of two hundred and fifty professors, instructors and officials, most of whom are colored. The Capital City would, therefore, have the largest number of lawyers, doctors, ministers and men and women of the higher cultural impulse and training than any other city in the country.
During the last decade the Federal Government, the public schools and Howard University have established a policy of retiring their employees at ages ranging from sixty to seventy. If those employees have been reasonably economical and thrifty, they will have met their family obligations and accumulated at least a home.
The pensions allowed these retirants will enable them to live a simple life of ease andisure without strain or worry for the rest of their days. Man's increased longevity, by reason of better observance of the law of right living, has released him from dred of the three score and ten limit which was at one time regarded as his allotted span of life. Indeed, at seventy he has just reached the age of intellectual maturity when he can revel in cultural, spiritual and moral contemplation.
Washington is the one city in the nation which has the best basis for development of elite Negro society, which, after all in final analysis, must rest upon occupation and income. These must enable the participants to lead a cultural life above the bare level of subsistence.
Washington has eight to nine hundred Negro school teachers whose average educational and cultural opportunities and whose average remuneration is higher than that of any other element in the community. No other city has so large a class of highly cultural and highly remunerated educators. There are ten times that number of Negroes employed in the Federal government whose salaries rank well above that which the race receives in other pursuits either here or elsewhere.

We have at the national Capital a group of several hundred—may we say the four hundred—in this category whose energies are free from the strain of occupational grind and who can therefore, devote themselves to the enjoyment of a social and pleasurable life. There is of course, here as elsewhere, a lack of coordination and leadership within this group. But they form the basis of a sound, sane and sensible social and cultural life as a model for the Negro race everywhere.

POPULATION INCREASES
Australia's population in the year ending March 31 increased 48,000 it has been officially estimated, the total at that date being placed at 6,716,000, of whom 3,406,000 were males and 3,310,000 females.
Italians Leave U.S.
An interesting news item from New York reads: "The Italian liner Rex sailed for Naples and Genoa yesterday with 311 passengers, 117 of whom were reservists, going back for service in the campaign against Ethiopia. A crowd of 2,000 Facist sympathizers cheered the ship out into the Hudson River with hoarse, hysterical shouts of 'Duce! Duce!' The young men of who were going to war crowded up to the bow rail, grinning and waving their arms, while the ship's band blared 'Giovanezza, Primavera.'"
Depressing and distressing though this news is, it need not leave American Negroes in a complete state of gloom. There is a bright side to the picture, Ethiopia, with the new and modern arms she is rapidly receiving since the League embargo was lifted, will be able to de very well by herself in the shadow of her native mountains and forests. Experts, familiar with Ethiopia territory, say Haile Selassie's men will prove unbeatable by Italy if they get modern arms. They are getting the arms.
Second, the departure of the Italians also will prove directly beneficial to American Negroes. Since they will be cut down by the Ethiopians, we can now glory in the new employment opportunities which will be open to us by their leaving. Italian labor is the mainstay of certain basic industries like the public utilities, electric and gas outdoor workers in cities, railroad trackmen and section gangs, iron and steel workers, etc. It is well known that the infux of this labor from Southern Europe blocked the parth of Negro labor in the North, and now that the immigration bars are up, once they leave few others will come. There is some comfort in that.
Harlem Moves Forward
Harlem has taken a long step forward in the election of Herbert L. Bruce as the first Negro district leader to have the privilege of sitting in the Executive Council of Tammy Hall. The election of Mr. Bruce was expected, but its actual occurrence has caused a swelling of civic pride which has not been possible heretofore.
Negro leadership means everything to the Negro. It is the lack of our own leadership, trained and aggressive, dating from the days of bondage, which has made our rise in American public affairs so slow, tedious, and uncertain. Nobody else is interested in getting and giving to us the real things of the spirit which we must have to make us take our rightful place in the body politic. Nobody else is interested, except in a rather pernunctory and abstract way, in our really gaining a hold on the American scheme of government which will make our public opinion an integral part of American opinion. Nobody can be truly interested in these things for us but our own leaders, and it seems that we are gradually learning this lesson in certain northern centers where the civic and social environment does not prohibit the realization of these basic aims.
Harlem can now match with Chicago and Detroit in playing the State Senate and Congressional game.

Value of Unions
Due to $t_0$ an unfortunate "family affair" among the employees of a New York weekly newspaper, the value of unionism as such is being disparaged by some of our publicists. This attack is regretable, because the most conservative element among Negroes, led mainly by the Urban League, is pushing a unionization program among Negro workers. To suggest that this program is meant for Negroes working for white employers only is preposterous and an insult to the intelligence of the union promoters. Unionism in an industrial society, such as this in America, is the only true method by which labor can gain its rights. There are philanthropists in many places, but it is fact that all employers of labor are not philanthropists. Yet labor employed by men who are not philanthropists must have its rights protected.
Non-union Negro labor has long been a threat to organized white labor. And back of this vague threat lies much hostility and prejudice toward the Negro held by the white. To suggest, as has been done, that white labor is not sincere when it accepts Negro members in its unions is most unfair. If a white union spends money to help Negro members who are on strike, then that union should be considered fair. Extraneous issues should not be dragged in to muddy the water—such as why doesn't the white union fight here and there to open new jobs to Negroes? for instance. It is the duty of the union to protect its members, and if Negro members are accepted, and then leyally protected, then the union has performed its function. That is all the most conservative Negro leaders want unions to do—take in Negro members, then stand by them in a time of trouble. It is only incidental that the union stands by Negroes who are on strike in a Negro institution. Nor can the union be consistent in not stand by Negro members who happen to be on strike in a Negro institution,

Nathaniel (Navy Department) Carrol would have you know that the group IV-b classification recently became effective in his department. George (A.F.G.E.) Rycraw tells me that his organization (with which the writer is no longer affiliated) has had this classification as a major item in its program for a long while.
Group IV-b includes certain groups of Navy field employees. Under the final classification, 56.3 per cent of the 7,819 employees concerned are unchanged in grade and pay; 17.6 per cent are classified in a higher grade, with increase in pay; 19 per cent are classified in higher grades without increase in pay; 5.6 per cent are classified in lower grades without cuts in pay, and only 1.5 per cent are reduced in both grade and pay.

The Civil Service Retirement Law was 15 years old on last August 1. The first act, May 22, 1920, became effective on August 1, 1920. Much progress has been made since the first act. Fourteen amendments have been added. Three executive orders have been issued, bringing in other groups of employees under the law.
In 1935, this has become one of the greatest retirement systems in the civilized world. Yet several changes should be made. Robert H. Alcorn, a civil service retirement specialist, states that there are 425,000 government employees within the scope of the retirement law. The number of annuitants who died last year was 2,472, and the total number of annuitants who have died since the law has been in operation is 17,591. The total number on the retirement roll June 30, 1935, was 44,710.

REFERRING TO INCIDENTS RELATIVE TO LAW SCHOOL ARTICLE
A few weeks ago space was devoted in this column to a condition which existed at the Howard Law School during the reign of former Acting Vice Dean Charles H. Houston. His attempt to Harvardize the Howard Law School was severely criticized, and the action of the Board of Trustees in giving him a vacation, applauded.
Later there appeared in a Baltimore paper, under a column which is run weekly by the paper's "special correspondent," another article, tending to pan the Howard Law School in a different manner.
The "special correspondent," known very well to me, having been associated with him for more than two years on the same paper, tried to apologize for taking his cue from the contents of the column carried in this paper, by alleging that this columnist was seeking vengeance on two professors in the law school for not passing him in their courses.
If the so-called "special correspondent" was not so well known to me, his accusations would go without comment. Knowing his predicament as I do, and the manner in which he thrives, this opportunity cannot pass by without paying my respects to this notorious correspondent.
In the first instance, the author of this column has not failed in any of his courses at the law school. He carried no courses under Dean Houston, who received most of the panning, and therefore could not have failed in a course taught by Dean Houston. Hence there can be no vengeance motive as suggested by my erstwhile friend.
And Furthermore I'll Like to Add
It would be a little unethical to expose the "special correspondent" in these columns, and far be it from me to do anything knowingly that is unethical. O course ethics mean nothing to the "special correspondent," who knows very little about anything else. What he really needs is sympathy. But I can go so far as to say that had this columnist failed in every course he had taken in the Howard Law School last year, he still would have to his credit more college education than the "special correspondent" ever contemplated having. Many who believe the special correspondent is a college graduate are sadly mistaken, and his identity, if revealed, would shock many, for I am told that they had to burn the school house down to get him out of the seventh grade.
While there is much improvements that can be made at the Howard Law School, the special correspondent is not in a position to enumerate them. His article on the conditions was not based on facts, and was wholly untrue. The student body of the Howard Law School is selected with just as much care as any other school or college in the university.
The minimum requirements for entrance are two years of college work in an "A" class college; three years in a "B" class college and a degree in a college not yet rated. These requirements are enforced to the limit. Most of the students have
BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
Howard Law School is a member in good standing with the Association of American Law Schools, and of the American Law Institute, the same organization in which Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and other outstanding institutions have memberships.
When the law school was operating at night, the special correspondent fought just as hard for a day school as he is now fighting for a night school, and his arguments were just as weak. In fact he had no arguments. Tearing down of Howard University is the proposition to which the special correspondent's column has been dedicated.
For more than seven years, his column has run in a Baltimore "weekly" striking at Howard University and its president. It has its first time to succeed in accomplishing anything it proposed.
This columnist began a campaign to get new dormitories at Howard University since the opening of school, and after three issues of the Tribune, the announcement was made that $525,000 had been allotted for the erection of two new dormitories.

We who have seen even a little of life realize that the story is being enacted most every day although those of us who prefer to ignore the sordid side of life will prefer to believe that men can not fall to the depths of James Pilgrim, Martin Flood and Trubee Pell. Then there is the girl who enters the picture near the end. She lives on a broken down farm with three of the worst scoundrels imaginable.

War Department Employee Honored After 40 Years
As a token of esteem and appreciation Elias Johnson, a former employee of the War Department, was. on the occasion of his retirement from the service presented with a watch, symbolic of efficient service he rendered the government and his co-workers. The presentation was made and participated in by Frank M. Headley, assistant chief clerk of the War Department and Frank B. Boorn, chief of the Supply Division. Mr. Johnson's record is set forth according to the archives of the War Department.
Born August 31, 1870 in Washington, D.C., Mr. Johnson, at the age of 21, enlisted in the United States Army at Washington, D.C., on February 9, 1891 and was assigned to Company C, 24th Regiment of Infantry, where he served for five years. Upon the expiration of this enlistment he reenlisted for a period of 5 years with Co.F, 25th Regiment of Infantry, under the command of Capt. J. Cord. His character during both enlistments is recorded as good and excellent respectively. He saw action during the Philippine Insurrection in 1898. Returning to civil life Mr. Johnson was appointed to the War Department on January 2, 1903.
During his length of service he was promoted to the position of chief carpenter for the War Department and served in this capacity until the date of his retirement. August 31, 1935.
Upon retiring, Mr. Johnson leaves many friends and associates who wish him much happiness in his remaining years. He resides at 421 V Street, Northwest.

Murray Given Welcome By D.C. Music Lovers
By PEARLIE
On the candle-lighted rostrum of Metropolitan A.M.E. Church with a background of palms and autumn flowers Robert Thomas Mussy III., Washington singer, last Thursday gave Washington music lovers a thrill with his pleasing baritone singing. But before the singer had uttered a single note he had won his audience over by appearing promptly on the minute. (My time isn't worth a dime but some people's is). And one man was so overjoyed, when he entered the auditorium at the designated hour and found Mr. Murray already bowing to the plaudits of the crowd, that he found it very difficult to refrain from walking straight to the stage and wringing the singer's hand in grateful acknowledgment. Mr. Murray very much at ease began his program with "Steal Away to Jesus." This was followed by "Hold On" and "City Called Heaven." All three were expertly done. "Where'er You Walk" (Handel) received prolonged applause as did S. Coleridge Taylor's "Thou Art Rise, My Beloved," and both deservedly so, for in each 'twas clearly evident that the soul of the singer was in his song. His "Roses of Picardy," "Danny Boy," and "Because" were tenderly beautiful. In "It Is Enough (Elijah)" by Mendelssohn, Mr. Murray waxed dramatic and exhibited remarkable width of range. The piano, organ and violin accompaniment made "The Old Refrain" and prettier poem "The Rosary" a real prayer and "Goodbye" a sweet sad thing that you really couldn't describe. Among the encores given by Mr. Murray were "Until" and "Carrie Jacobs Bonds," "Just a Wearyin' for You."

Mr. Oliver S. D. Simms, pianist, not only deserved credit for the excellent musicianship he showed in his rendition of "Romance" (Sibelius) and "Scherzo" (Felix Mendelssohn) but for the sympathetic accompaniment he gave Mr. Murray and also for his interesting arrangement of "Steal Away to Jesus."
Mr. J. Richmond Johnson, violinist caught the hearts of his hearers with his very first number "Perpetual Motion" (Bohm). And his skill in the execution of Air (for "G" string) by Bach and "Politchinelli" earned him an encore, and he graciously obliged by playing a serenade.
The exquisite notes from Metropolitan's handsome organ made tender and true by the hands of Mr. Norman W. Johnson added much to the beauty of the program
At the close of the evening's offering, Mr. Murray's mother stepped to the stage and caressed her son. 'Twas a pretty tribute and probably pleased the singer even more than the hearty applause the grateful audience gave him. (I looked around to see if anybody was coming to kiss Messrs. Simms, Johnson and Johnson. They deserved one too.) I—but just then my escort led me swiftly to the door.

A tired but happy Dr. Caliver (Ambrose) left for Alabama last Saturday night. The Specialist in Education was due to be present at the inauguration of President F. D. Patterson of Tuskegee Institute on the following Monday morning. But he came near missing even the midnight train. And 'twas all on account of a jewel. No, not a fiery diamond, nor a seagreen emerald, but a lovely ten-year old lassie with sparkles in her eyes—the Caliver's daughter, Jewel-celebrating the day of her birth. Because 'twas the season of Halloween, charming Mrs. Caliver turned the parlors of her attractive home (1130 Park Road) into a rendezvous for cats and bats and witches. One big eerie cat sat on top of a pumpkin and glared right out at the guests as they cautiously entered the doorway, eyes wide with joyous excitement. Mr. "Mickey Mouse" guarded the circular stairway (a huge balloon, of course, suspended from the bannister). And everytime the door was pulled open a bit to admit a little masker, "Mickey Mouse" would bristle as they cautiously entered the doorway, eyes wide with joyous intelligence tests, you know) and Carolyn Howard, Ava Marie Odell and Barbara Adams showed how smart they were by winning pretty prizes. There was a balloon race for Jean Wilder and Jane Dotson to win. Then there was a donkey that needed a tail pinned on and Marjorie Miles proceeded to pin it. "Mickey Mouse" and his brother were also minus their tails, so Patricia Shaw and George Robertson found exactly the place to affix them. The costumes were gay in color but they couldn't half match the spirits of the happy ones who wore them. Jewel, the hostess was a lovely gypsy princess with a crown of red and gold, a full paisley dress trimmed with wide bands of plain green and yellow and red, and yards and yards of golden fringe. The table was a picture long to be remembered. A soft light peeped through the pumpkin centerpiece. There were tall orange tapers, and bon bon dishes of mints placed near them. Halloween candies and nuts filled the baskets that marked each young guest's place, and the favors were celophane bags of candy tied with yellow ribbon. At the hostess' place there was an exquisite cake cake topped with ten glowing candles and "Happy Birthday, Jewel" written in glowing letters. Bromley's baked the exquisite thing with its orange icing, brown borders and its dozens of rose buds (Talisman) growing all around it. Twas almost too pretty to eat, and besides Mrs. Caliver herself had baked delicious little squares of orange and chocolate cake. When the hostess appeared at the table a song went up from the guests and at its conclusion twenty or more horns began a blast of noisy recognition. After a delicious treat of ice cream cake and punch the delighted guests went home to sleep and dream (not of cats and bats and witches, but of Jewel, the lovely princess who had made them ever so happy. Among the guests who enjoyed Jewel's hospitality and brought her gifts were: Prue Wilkinson, Frances Walker, Mary Davis, Ella Davis Lillian King, John Lee, O. T. Leek, Cecile Brazier, Violett Duckett, Helen Hatcher, Robert Robertson, Irvin Robertson and Ava's cousin, "Junior." And the only bad thing about it was that there wasn't a photographer round to snap the pretty picture.
Deft fingers are those of Mr. Oswald Burke, Washington school teacher. A dash, a daub, a little finishing touch and presto! a painting adorns the wall of a hall or an auditorium. It's a good thing Mr. Burke didn't hear all the pretty remarks about his work at a "Harvest Home" celebration the other night or he might have had to add an inch or so to his hat band.
delight to see around won't be in town this winter, Messrs, Chas. Lofton and T. Curtis May are in Virginia; Gordon Wilkins in Meharry Medical School in Tennessee; Henry Booker and Kermit Mehlinger are studying at Oberlin and Mr Cornelius Powell is at Fisk. Maybe Santa Claus will bring them on a visit.
Saturday seven p.m. a tall young thing in trailing blue taffeta (pinktrimmed); golden slippers are on her feet and a coronet of gold rises high above her brow. Dancing eyes add more brightness to an radiant face. It's Josephine King, daughter of Dr. Q. B. King greeting her guests as she stands with her father (one of Washington's best known dentists) to receive the good wishes of her friends and to dance an hour or two away in the ball room of the Whitelaw Hotel with its tall columns gay with oak leaves. And here and there a cat, a witch, an owl. It's midnight now. The ice cream and cake have been eaten; the last cup of punch has been drained; the soft sweet strains of "Home Sweet Home" have floated into the distance; and Josephine, the Sweet Sixteen wends her happy way homeward. She tries to tear off the tissue paper that covered her many gifts (they filled every available space in the King's big diming-room) but the "Sand-man" caught her before she had half-way started. So, the pretty handkerchiefs, scarfs, and pocketbooks and the lovely gifts of every description had to wait till Sunday morning to feel the caress of their owner's hands and hear the exclamations of joy from Josephine. Among the smart young guests were: Phyllis Bailey, Eunice Shanckz Jaceline Talbert, Adelaide Jones, Sara Mayen, Andrea Brown, Thelma King, Julia Barrett, Doris Robinson, Doris West, Mariori Rutherford, Frances Pickett, Placide Washington, Helen Vanderhoop, Loretta Dean, Lueille Lomax, Dorcus Ellis, Marjorie Phillips, Cordella Burwell, Marion Bowen, Yvonne Mitchell, Edith Belcher Nadine Harris, Leona Turner, Karolyn Walker, Clara Carey, Charlita Henderson Carolyn Thomas, Constance Thomas, Ruth Pollard, Adelaide Cromwell, Maude Ellis, Virginia Quivers, Georgia Brown Ernestine Bomar, Mabel Jones, Mary Richardson, Edith Menard, Gloria Orsborne Marion Freeman, Alice Booker, Evelyn Edmonston, Jimie Davidson, Horace Barnett, Evelio Grillo, Robert Boyd, George Scurlock, Hubert Pender, Robert Hawkins, William Bullock, Raymond Thomas Frank Colbert, James Waring, Frank Johnson, Arthur Himmons, Henry Sparks, Percy Pitts, Townsend Beason, Robert Rhone, Clifford Jackson, Maurice Clifford, Benjamin Hunton, John Penderhughes Richard Lee, Norbert Gillen, Gillard Ellis, Fred Wilkinson, Jr, Edgar Payne, Charles Penduhghes, Albert Gaskins, Thomas Dent. Lawrence Holoman, Elwood Payne Rufus Moore, Cook Peek, Edward Brooke, Wendell Lucas, Thaddeus Mitchell, Louis Cooke, Norris Dodson, Louis Dodson Dibble Davis, John Walker.
Some of the women removed their hats at a pretty affair last week. But not Mrs. Mary Stanback, of Euclid Street. And everyone was glad she didn't for she might not have been able to get it back on at the same bewitching angle.

RANDALL
The character education experiment which was carried on successfully at Randall last year focused the attention of the teachers, guidance and community workers and the Parent-Teacher Association to the necessity of planning some after-school activities which would help provide a worthwhile program for leisure time in a wholesome environment and lower the amount of juvenile delinquency in the community. In response to this expressed need, the Community Center Department made it possible for us to launch the project at Randall under the direction of Mrs. L. Fitzhugh and the following teachers: R. E. Contee, L. E. Smith, B. T. Brent R. W. Gaddis, Miss L. J. Le Brandt, V. A. Walker, Mrs. Mary Proctor and Mrs. Mabel Jones Freeman
An average attendance of three hundred and fifty young boys and girls has more than justified the three nights devoted to the direction of leisure time a activities of our children. The activities offered are Boys' Athletics, Music, Aesthetic Dancing, Arts a n d Crafts, Quiet Games and Reading, Typewriting, Self - Help Group, Wood and Leather Crafts, Electrical and Metal Crafts and Printing. In order to care for the pupils adequately and comfortably, two assembly periods each week were found necessary because of the increase in the enrollment to 903 pupils. The assemblies have been held as follows: A Welcome Assembly to the faculty sponsored by the Student Council. On this occasion, the students greeted the principal and teachers and pledged again their support to the goals and standards which they established last year.
The committee on assemblies sponsored a Welcome Assembly to the new pupils. The purpose of this assembly was to orientate the new pupils with their new school home. They were made acquainted with the physical features of the building, the course of study, the extra-curricular activities and the teachers. The third program of the year presented to the student body the talent of the building. This talent was displayed in a literary and musical program comprising seven students.
Fire Prevention Week was appropriately observed in a series of programs under the direction of Mrs B. P. Mitchell. Through the medium of skits and playlets, the pupils were acquainted with the dangers of, the damage done by and the ways of preventing and overcoming fires. The pupils in a later program presented their class goals and mottows. These features proved quite inspirational to the audience and their original class songs added quite a bit of enthusiasm to the program. The class officers sponsored this program.
At the Physical Education assemblies, Dr. E. B. Henderson head of the Department of Physical Education, Divisions 10-13, spoke on the subject, "Sportsmanship in our daily performance as well as in games," and Prof. John Burr of Howard University, spoke on "The Game of Life." These programs are sponsored by an assembly committee comprised of Mrs. F. L. Toms, chairman; Mrs. M. C. Brent and L. E. Smith. The Student Council, under the leadership of Mrs. D. C. DeLeon, has beautified the cafeteria with appropriate, seasonal flowers which lend a festive air to the noon-day meal
Persons who have visited the school this year are: Miss Bertie Backus, assistant superintendent in charge of Character Education: Eugene Clark, president of Miner Teachers College; Dr. Jane McAllister, Miss Hope Lyons and Dr. L. F. Bates, all instructors at Miner Teachers' College; J. C. Bruce, supervising principal of the 13th Division, and L. L. Jarvie, assistant to Miss Backus in the Character Education Experiment.

One-Man Art Exhibition Being Displayed at Local Y.W.C.A.

"In the Forest," one of the paintings on display at the Phyllis Wheatley Y-W.C.A. by William S. Noisette.
Vital Statistics
EIGHT
A one-man art exhibit began at the Phyllis Wheatley YW.C.A. last Monday, and will continue until November 2, with nineteen paintings, all done by one man on display.
The one man who did all the painting and landscaping is William S. Noisette, messenger to J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Noisette, who lives at 307. R Street, Northwest buckles down his paintings as soon as he returns home from the Department of Justice. He has been working on his pictures for several years, doing a little bit here and there as time would permit.
Drawing was a hobby of Noisette when he was a lad in Fasettesville, N.C. The death of his father, which occurred when he was a small boy, forced him to work without the opportunity of going to art school to develop his talent.

Noisette was not discouraged, however, and whatever leisure he had, he devoted it to sketching with pencil and charcoal and finally to painting.
As a result, he now has enough paintings finished to present an exhibit. Among the paintings that will be seen are "In The Forest." "In the Canyon." "Rock Creek Park." "The Old Lane." "A Winter Day." "The Hills of Old Virginia," "An Autumn Day," "Sunrise," "A Country Road," "At Dawn," "Peggy, the Cow," "Man of War," "Rocky Mountain," "Stormy Weather," "Elk at the Water's Edge," and "The Boston Massacre."
Noisette has presented some of his best paintings to his chief, J. Edgar Hoover; Assistant Directors of the Bureau of Investigation Harold Nathan, and Clyde Tolson, and to Coutney Ryley Cooper, author.

LETTERS ASK FOR HERNDON PARDON
ATLANTA, Ga. (ANP) — That Governor Talmadge had been flooded with letters urging that Angelo Hernedon, who was sentenced to serve 18 to 20 years in prison for "inisting an insurec-
tion" be pardoned by the chief executive of the state, was reported here Tuesday afternoon. According to the reports more than "ten thousand" letters had been received by the governor from students at Columbia University and thousands have poured in from various sections of the country and representatives of organizations. Most of the letters have been similar in verbiage and appeared to be of the form-letter type urging the governor to give the condemned man a just hearing and
to pardon him. Others have
theratened the destruction of the
state capital building for failure.
Governor Talmadge has indicated
in conversation that "the mind
those close to him that "his mind was
opened" and that when all coun-
methods are exhausted that he
would give Herndon a hearing
but that threatening letters would
prejudice Herndon who wanted to
help him.

Furthermore, this exhibit is being planned with the idea foremost in view of launching the 1936 models in such a manner that the record of the coming year will show even greater increases than the past-record setting one.

With a total of sixty-five models representing the 1936 lines of twenty-one manufacturers, the Sixteenth Annual Washington Automobile Show will be more truly representative than any previous exhibit. The fact that the dates, November 2 to 9, inclusive, coincide with those of the New York Show will give the motoring public of Washington an opportunity to see all the 1936 models under one roof at the same time as anywhere else; previous exhibits having followed the introduction of new models at the National Automobile Show.
It is not alone to stimulate the sale of new cars that our association sponsors this annual exhibit. Safety Campaigns This year we feel, that in line with the various safety devices manufacturers have incorporated into their newest models, a distinct contribution can be made to

At the same time, it has also been shown that there has been a definite lack of understanding on the part of many drivers of many safe-driving devices and their operation.

AUTO SHOW IS EARLIER THIS SEASON
"The New Deal" has influenced both the time and place of Washington's Sixteenth Annual Automobile Show which will be held this year from November 2 to 9 inclusive. These dates are exactly the same as those of the New York Show, the local one having heretofore been held in January. The reason for the change to autumn dates is an agreement made early this year by the automobile industry at the request of President Roosevelt to advance its annual activities in the hope of leveling the peaks and valleys of unemployment in a seasonal industry. Not only is the date of The Washington Automobile Show earlier this year, but the location has been changed owing to the Admin-

car was originally purchased. Safety Devices Stressed At this year's Automobile Show, the safety features of the 1936 models will be stressed by all exhibitors. National Safety Council statistics have shown that in 94 per cent of all accidents, cars were in good mechanical condition but that in many instances drivers were not thoroughly versed in proper use of the safety devices provided by the manufacturers. A featured safety item on one car may be present on another but overshadowed by other features to remain unused or improperly applied. The Washington Automotive Trade Association feels that Washington's Sixteenth Annual Automobile Show which opens Saturday, November 2, at 11 a.m., will contribute a fitting stimulant to recent safety campaigns in which various local organizations have cooperated.
