Perry W Howard, national committee from Mississippi, delivered the main address. "President Franklin D. Roosevelt made promises and gave opiates. All that we hear now are excuses. What the American Negro wants is not a dole, not a hand out but a chance to earn a living. "President Roosevelt has established a bureaucracy and bureaucats with surplus employees. He has usurped the functions of the legislative department. The brain and big business of the country are in the Republican Party; where are the big men in President Roosevelt's Cabinet? He hasn't a man in his cabinet as big as Swope or Lucas of Kentucky. He has not carried out the platform of 1932. "What has he done for the colored people? Down south they didn't cut the wages of the people. They just didn't hire them. President Roosevelt only appointed Tompkins of Missouri, recorder of deeds, and a colored man assistant Minister to Liberia. He gave Robert L.

Resin admittedly not as young as he was when he dug trenches at Gettysburg, ended up in a police station when his legs gave out. A kindly officer, to whom he applied for aid, brought him to the station. The aged man asserted he'd argued with his son-in-law, got his temper up, and decided to go and live with his son, Arthur. It was, he admitted, the first time he'd run away in more than 100 years. And he couldn't find Arthur. Later, his daughter. Mrs. Jenny Wesley, arrived at the police station to claim him. She verified his age. Sword-Wielding Deacon Freed o District Supreme Court In Altercation With Attorney Clair David Jones, self-styled prophet of the Tabernacle of the Living God, was acquired by a District Supreme Court jury, Thursday, on charges of assaulting two men with a sword which, he declared, he was divinely directed to wear. Freed with him was Wheeler Wilkins, deacon of the church, who was alleged to have cut two women with a knife in the same melee. The jury deliberated for an hour and a half after hearing the plea presented by Attorney Harold F. Hawkins, representing the accused men, who declared the men acted in self-defense.

Hospital physicians announced her condition as critical. She is suffering with bites about the arms, legs and body. According to police the seven dogs belong to William Moore, a friend and neighbor of the ill woman. Mrs. Knox went to make a call at the Moore home Friday morning. The Moores were not at home, however, and when Mrs. Knox entered the yard she was knocked down by the ferocious dogs, who tore her flesh with their fangs.

The officer was forced to fire his pistol to disperse the pack, and later predicted that he would probably have to destroy the animals. "Prophet" and on Assault Charge Jury Acquits Churchmen in Alleged Hecklers; ins Self-Defense Jones and six members of his flock left the church dressed in spectacular uniforms of red and black. The prophet carried a sword. Jones and Wilkins created considerable excitement among the children of the neighborhood who began to jeer and heckle the men. As the two entered the prophet's car, Jones declared some one threw a ball of paper into his machine. As the story goes an argument ensued and Prophet Jones emerged from the car brandishing his sword at his alleged hecklers. Willie F. Daniels received a slight slit on his leg and Robert Milliard sustained a cut on the hand, according to the testimony. Wilkins is alleged to have cut Rebecca F.

The project involves many improvements which will add to the beauty and utility of the college campus. Although the cost is not available for publication it is understood that a considerable sum of money is involved. Physical education at the college will be further beautified by the erection of an outdoor pavilion for the department, to be used in field, activities which the present gymnasium cannot provide; for Present plans also include the con- struction of an athletic stadium with all equipment for the staging of att contests on a high plane.

Joe Louis' Training Scrape Causes Chicago Crime Commission Shooting Witnesses W Counsel Retained for R Joe Louis' Trainer Shooting Scrape Causes Crime Crusade CHICAGO (ANP)—Information subsequent to the inquest recently held into the slaving of Enoch Houser, 69-year-old Tuskegee graduate, new in the hands of Frank J. Loesch, chairman of the Chicago Crime Commission, is expected to effect a sweeping investigation into methods used by the coroner's office and the police department in investigating and prosecuting the case. At the inquest held two weeks ago Jack Blackburn, 52, trainer of Joe Louis; John Bowman, William Parnell and Edward Ellis, held on charges of being participants in the street fight in which Houser, an innocent passerby, was fatally wounded, were freed when the coroner's jury under Deputy Coroner Benjamin A Grant found that Houser had come to his death at the hands of "persons unknown." Bruseaux Retained Attorney Joseph E. Clayton, Jr., counsel for Houser's family, retained Sheridan A. Bruscaux, noted colored criminologist, to make an independent investigation into circumstances of the case and the information he has uncovered was turned over to the lawyer who in turn placed it into the hands of the crime commission "Certain members of the coroner's jury and witnesses, I find, were tampered with." Mr. Bruscaux was quoted as saying this week. "In addition my investigation involves certain high police officials and these circumstances were so grave that they have been turned over to the Chicago Crime Commission and early next week the state's attorney will be apprised as to what I believe has taken place.

STATE COLLEGE BECOMES OWNER OF WHITE CHURCH "Deal" By White Trustees Years Ago Give School White Elephant PETERSBURG. Va. — Virginia State College indirectly became owner of a church this week, when the state board of educaton, whic- now fills the role formerly assumed by a board of visitors, bought at public auction on the courthouse steps here Monday( the Trinity Methodist Church, white, of this city. The sale resulted from the fail- ure of the $300,000 stone church's congregation to pay interest on a $100,000 loan from the college's funds made by the now extinct board of visitors. The interest due amounted to $30,000. None of the principal had ever been paid back. The loan was one of two amounting to $130,000 made by the visitors (or trustees). The white Y. M. C. A. here was extended $30,000. Both sums came from an endowment principal accrued from federal funds appropriated the college under the laws governing land-grant colleges. Both loans were made without consultation with the administrative officials of the college and without their knowledge. Recent exposure of the failure of the church and Y. M. C. A. branch here to repay the loans or keep up interest payments brought demands that the state protect the college against loss. This is understood to be the legal requirement of the state anyway. Dr. Sidkney B. Hall, superintendent of public instruction: J. Gordon Bohannon and Robert W. Daniel were the board's committee handling the matter. Immediately after the sale, members of the board of stewards of the church asked the committee if the congregation might use the church for "a month or so" until they could make some "proposal" to the board.

TUSKEEGE INSTITUTE Ala— (ANP) — How more than 5.000 Rosewald schools grew out of the meeting of the late philanthropist, Julius Rosenwald and Dr. Booker T. Washington, was related here Monday by C. J. Calloway, former director of the Extension Department of Tuskegee, under whose supervision the "Rosewald School Building Program" was prosecuted. According to Mr. Calloway, as he commented on the charges which led through the years to the inauguration of a new president, Dr. Booker T. Washington, more than twenty-five years ago was introduced to Julius Rosenwald. After interesting him in education in the South, Dr. Washington proposed a plan for the great philanthropist to help in such a program. As an experiment a community, located near Tuskegee was selected and the plan was that the white citizens would be asked to contribute toward the school building; the Negroes, who would be directly benefitted, would be required to raise a similar sum and Mr. Rosenwald would match their gifts. So successful was the venture in the community located near Tuskegee Institute, that Mr. Rosenwald became intensely interested in the project and each year, under the supervision of Mr. Calloway, "known as the Rosenwald agent" throughout the southern states, a large number of schools were erected, with the two-fold purpose of erection of modern A.

Teachers ROANOKE, Va. — "The problems Immediately Facing The Negro Teachers of Virginia" is the theme of the forty-eighth annual convention of the Virginia State Teachers' Association, scheduled to convene here at the Addison High School, November 27, 28, and 29. Prof. Lewis A. Sydnor of this city, who is chairman of the homes committee in charge of arranging accommodations for all delegates, issued several requests asking that all supervisors, principals, and teachers who are planning to attend the convention get in touch with his committee very soon, in order that the best facilities may be found for the large delegation that is expected Among the prominent authorities on education scheduled to speak at the convention will be Dr. Charles S.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Plan for South Central Conference NEW ORLEANS, La., (ANP)—The local chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Beta Omega has formulated plans for the entertainment of the South Central Regional Conference which will convene here, November 15-17. Soror Anna Mae Berbel, basileus of the local chapter, with her group of sorors is anticipating a profitable conference and feels sure that Soror Lois Davis, the regional director, who resides in Texas will preside over the entire group. school rooms to replace the old dilapidated buildings already existing and the promotion of better understanding between the races which was believed would grow out of the Negroes and whites working together for a common purpose. Met Noted Men At the time Mr. Rosenwald became a trustee of Tuskegee Institute, the wealthy merchant's philanthropies and civic interests were just germinating and he had little contact with colored people. As a trustee of Tuskegee the Chicago leader was brought into intimate contact with some of the greatest men in America such as Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Seth Lowe, William G. Wileox, William H. Baldwin and Robert C. Ogden. Hence it is commonly said that through Dr. Washington's guidance and activities Mr. Rosenwald steadily grew in his appreciation of the Negro and the virile interest which today is exemplified by the wide-spread activities of the Rosenwald Fund may be attributed to no small part of the advice and encouragement and suggestions of the sage of Tuskegee. Dr. Moton kept alive this interest on the part of Mr. Rosenwald and due largely to his influence the Rosenwald Fund was organized through which many institutions, including schools and hospitals, as well as individuals who proved their efficiency in various directions have been helped.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Prophet Costonie Losing Ground Secretary Says. Brooks Gone Prophet's Secretary Says Brooks, Costonie's Assistant, Had "Yielded to Sin of Gambling," and Was Fired by the Prophet By New York Correspondent NEW YORK CITY—While the Prophet K. Costonie has slipped silently and without the usual fanfare into Harlem with the avowed object of bearding Father M. J. Divine, his enemy, over in North Jersey the exact whereabouts of his former chief aide, the Rev J. D. Brooks, has become a subject of widespread interest and even preaching from the sitting position. From this account it is evident that Costonie dismissed Brooks from the assistant's post temporarily. In fact, after the Atlantic City engagement, he laid off several other employees. Brooks went from Atlantic City to Philadelphia. That is the last heard of him. In Newark, where Brooks has been a familiar figure for years, the story of his disappearance became last week a much discussed subject. This was true principally because Brooks has for years been a famous political orator and this year's campaign has closed in Jersey without his presence. The speakers' bureau of the Democrats there was prepared to put Brooks on the payroll for speeches, had he showed up in time. Behind the scenes of the Costonie engagement in Atlantic City, something still unrevealed took place in which the Prophet and Brooks disagreed. This is evident both from reports which came from there to Newark and from Costonie's unwillingness to discuss the Brooks' incident. Brooks' passion for gambling, as his friends in Newark point out, is not the all-enveloping sin that Costonie's secretary points out. Something deeper lies behind his disappearance. Costonie himself hinted at this Saturday. Looking straight at the reporter he suddenly asked: "Who knows what I might have done to Brooks?" Asked for an elaboration of this remark he quickly changed the subject and began talking about his ambitious Harlem program. He said he would be in Harlem a year but he was making no fuss about it. He pointed out that he had hired one of Harlem's highest priced string orchestras to play his hymns in super-jazz time. He said he had arranged unusual scenic effects for his platform and claimed he would draw many Divine followers into his ranks. The fact that Harlem is worked up over the Ethiopian situation and police are guarding against too many emotional gatherings may be a reason Costonie's entry into Harlem has been so secretive. Illinois, the first Negro member of Congress to visit the Virgin Islands, arrived here recently as the guest of Governor Lawrence Cramer. He lives at the Governor's palace and has established offices there. In an interview with ANP the Congressman made it clear that he had already promised to supply a Norfolk paper exclusively with information relative to his activities here, but he said, "I must state in all frankness that this is a wonderful place, and more of my people should come here, they should become acquainted with this place, the people are so clean, hospitable and law-abiding, and living here is much cheaper than it is in the United States. When I return home I will tell my constituents that they ought to come here." Prior to coming here Congressman Mitchell told friends in the U. S. A. that he would name the U. S. judge for the Virgin Islands. A white man, Albert Levitt, was appointed, however, and arrived here almost as soon as Mr. Mitchell- BAIL OUT TAVERN KEEPER WHO SHOT PICKET CHICAGO, (ANP) -- Charged with shooting Lorenzo Marble, 22-year-old youth picketing the Michigan Tavern for refusal to hire union help, George Harris was set free on bond Monday after spending six days in jail. Police refused to book Harris immediately after the assault because they did not know how badly wounded the youth was. J. Levitt Kelly, president of the local waiters' union, stated that the Michigan tavern does not employ union help and when efforts to have Harris take on a union waitress and bartender failed, it was decided to picket the place. Marble was shot a few hours after picketing began. Harris told police he fired because he heard pickets were coming over to break up his business place. The lad was wounded in the right thigh. CHICAGO CLUB TO HEAR EXT TUSKEGEE DEAN CHICAGO, (ANP) — Mrs. Edna Spears Landers, who for 37 years was officially connected with Tuskegee Institute, lately as dean of women, will be the principal speaker at the 20th annual Booker T. Washington Memorial exercises sponsored by the Chicago-Tuskegee club, at Hope Presbyterian Church, Sunday, November 17, it was announced this week by Fred G. Engram, president. The Chicago-Tuskegee club, organized in 1910, is the most active affiliate of the Tuskegee General Alumni association and is headed by Dr. Jesse O. Thomas, of Atlanta. Since the death of the noted educator in November, 1915, the Windy City body has held memorial exercises annually. The Tribune. Now Twice Weekly, Tuesday and Friday By New York Correspondent NEW YORK CITY—While the Prophet K. Costonie has slipped silently and without the usual fan- fare into Harlem with the avowed object of bearding Father M. J. Divine, his enemy, over in North Jersey the exact whereabouts of his former chief aide, the Rev. J. D. Brooks, has become a subject of widespread interest and even alarm. That Brooks is not expected to return to his former post was evi- dent when Costonie opened up a super-jazzed religious meeting in a hall on Fifth Avenue, near 131st Street Monday night, with the Rev. William H. Skipwith, "intern- ational pastor, evangelist and singer," holding down Brooks's former post. Costonie, who has steadfastly refused to give any details on Brooks movements since the two parted company in Atlantic City in September, interviewed in a restaurant on Seventh Avenue. Saturday night, grudgingly admitted that when he left Atlantic City he had taken Brooks' bag to a house in West Philadelphia on North 58th Street and left it there following Brooks' instructions that he would call for the bag, later after Costonie had gone. Costonie said Saturday that Brooks had not yet called for the bag. Six weeks have passed since the Costonie aggregation left Atlantic City. Temptation Calls A glowing picture of Brooks' last days with the Prophet was given, however, by a secretary to Costonie. She said Brooks had yielded to an old sin of gambling while he was in the game-infested atmosphere of the famed seashore resort. She said Brooks began by going out after the meetings at night and spending change on the roulette wheels and card games which bloom there after dark. She said presently the fever got hold of Brooks to the extent that he would gamble away his entire salary as soon as he received it. She said he would stay up all night with the wheels of chance, and then be unfit for the Prophet's meeting the next night. When he was preaching during the last days, she said, Brooks would suddenly sit down and continue his NEGRO BUSINESS DIRECTORY OFF PRESS NOV.15 By W. HAROLD FLOWERS Launching a move to aid Negro business, the Progressive Service Company. 905 U Street, Northwest, announced that after three months of careful planning and diligent research, a classified directory of Negro business will be available to Washington citizens November 15. Competent Staff Although several attempts have been made to publish a directory that might be useful to the Washington buying public, the present project is not being handicapped by an inexperienced personnel. The attempt is recruited with a competent staff of college trained men. The staff is under the direction of Fred L. Allen and L. Howard McKinney. Mr. McKinney, a young business man and former co-prietor of the Buffalo Inn, supervised a similar project which was put over in Jacksonville, Florida. Other members of the staff are Taylor Washington, Wendell Quinn, Richard Ford, and William T. Lucas. Assisting the staff is a corps of workers assigned to various tasks in compiling data obtain in the survey. The directory meets a much needed means of information necessary to banish institutions and enterprises. Facts of interest will be published; and editorials, written by the successful Negro business men and women of Washington are to be incorporated in the publication. Aside from presenting facts, the directory will contain advertisements of the leading business houses of Washington. The first edition to be put out by the service company is being planned and designed to become a social contribution rather than a monetary gain for the company. The plans call for an annual publication of the directory. Advertising rates have been reduced to the minimum and numbers of the staff are concentrating upon a large circulation. Business, church and cavic organizations are rallying to support of the venture. All activities pertaining to Negro business and civic life will be classified. After presenting the plans to business people, the company feels assured of a generous reception of the directory when it is off the press. ST. THOMAS. V. I.

The Dunbar High School team added to its glory by doing the same thing every other opponent had done to the Cardozo eleven last weekend...the Clerks have as yet to hit a foul ball in their offensive efforts. But at that, Washington's Howard University team is not doing so badly. After holding the Morgan Bears to a mere 39 points, the Bisons came right back last Saturday to score a moral victory over the Hampton eleven... the Pirates could get no more than four touchdowns, and three times the Blue and White succeeded in getting inside the invaders' 49-yard line. *** IN HAMPTON this Saturday two teams, always high in national football ranking, will oppose one another in an effort to chuck the other right out of the picture of 1935 gridlion celebrities....The Hampton Pirates will employ cutlass 'n' all in a hope to shave the claws of the Morgan College Bears when they venture some two hundred or more miles from their Hillen Road (Baltimore) cave. And although Hampton is a tough team for anybody, including .the .all-power, all Notre Dame (or should it be Northwestern?), when they are hooked up with in their own backyard, this contemporary is tacking his two bucks straight on the nose of the Baltimore Bruins...Victory for either team will just about clinch the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association title. Other games of national interest set for this week-end will be the Morehouse-Clark affair at Atlanta, the Morris Brown-Claffin bee at Atlanta, and the Sam Huston-Wiley mixup at Austin. --- IN ATLANTIC CITY on Thanksgiving night, 22 men will line up against each other—11 on a side—with blood in their eyes...for what? A flimsy notion that the football game between Howard and Lincoln is a traditional something to be looked forward to, calls for the matching of these two schools at Thanksgiving time, regardless of the calibre of teams they have. Blood'll be in the eyes of the boys, but there's a serious doubt here that either team possesses the necessary vigor to draw it from the adversary. The kind of football they have shown against opponents to date makes this writer believe that the mothers of all the boys playing on the two teams have no need for fear of injury....The way Howard and Lincoln have played thus far, there's no danger of anybody coming out with so much as a broken finger-nail. More power to you, Docs Norris and Green, who would rather see each teams as Fisk, Tuskegee and Wilberforce on the Howard schedule....If you gotta be killed, it'd be better done by --- WASHINGTON. D. C.—After repulsing the highly touted running attack of the Hampton Institute eleven for one full period, the Blue and White Bisons weakened miserably and were finally submerged under a 26-0 score in their last home stand at Howard Stadium, Saturday. The defeat marked the fourth straight for the Bisons and the sixth consecutive victory of the season for the powerful Hampton team which will face Morgan College, also undefeated, at Hampton, Saturday. Gun Halts Touchdown March The Bisons' only chance to score was halted by the timekeeper's gun as the first half ended with Howard in possession of the pigskin on Hampton's 1-yard stripe and the second down coming. After the Pirates shoved over their first touchdown the Bisons rallied. A 15-yard Hampton penalty for holding, a 10-yard aerial, Justin Plummer to La Verte Armstrong, and a series of powerful line plunges by snuffy Johnston had placed the oval on the 1-yard line as the gun ended the half. Mindful of the fact that Morgan scouts were in the stands, the Pirates failed to uncover their box of deceptive plays that have marked their early season games. Frustrated by a fighting Bison eleven in the opening period, the Pirates pushed across a touchdown in the second quarter, scored another in the third session, and concluded the day's scoring with a couple of six-pointers in the final period. A total of 241 yards were gained from scrimmage by the visitors while Howard was able to advance only 138. Pass Starts Rally Pass Starts Rally After being unable to gain through the line, the Pirates took to the air in the second period to set off the spark which began the scoring. Charles Paige's two heaves to Dismond were grounded; the fleet backfield ae then tensed a pass to Wallace Hooker which was good for eleven yards. On a deceptive triple-pass Ray Hopson slipped through tackle for 21 yards and a first down on the Bison 18-yard stripe. Joe Dismond, Pirate quarterback, took the pigskin on the next play and ran to Howard's 2-yard line. Dismond fumbled Hosson's lateral pass on the next play and Arthur Johnson scooped up the loose oval and plunged over for a touchdown. IN IOWA CITY last weekend, two ancient and friendly rivals came near to blows because of a fear that one would not do right by the Negro member of the other... Minnesota, warned that it was not to treat roughly Oze Simmons, colored halfback of Iowa, became incensed at such a reflection on her sportsmanship, and threatened to withdraw from any further relationship with the latter. In Big Ten circles, colored athletes, until a few years ago, were not looked upon as "such a much." Today, with Oze and Homer Harris, regular end, playing sensational ball with the Harkeyes, as well as the splendid substitute work being turned in by Oze's brother, Iowa has come to be quite fond of its sepia gridders. Nor has it forgotten its Duke Slater, all-American tackle of another day, and its Ed Gordon, Olympic broad-jump marvel. Also in the Big Ten, and a member of the potential champions, Minnesota, is DeWitt Reed, end. And have you forgotten Willis Ward, whose name traveled hand-in-hand with Michigan the past three years?

CRACK DISTRICT GRID TEAMS TO CLASH SUNDAY CRACK DISTRICT GRID TEAMS TO CLASH SUNDAY Yellowjacket and Ebenezer Outfits Booked for Tilt At Griffith Stadium WASHINTON, D.C.—A game that will have a most important bearing on the District sandlot gridiron championship will be played Sunday at Griffith Stadium, here. The Washington Yellowjackets, for the past three years local title-holders, will lock horns with the strong Ebenezer Church team, challengers for that same number of years. The Sabbath encounter will be the second outstanding football promotion venture among the sand-lotters for the year.

Dismond converted from placement for the extra point. Paige accounted for the second sixpointer in the third when he tan off right tackle for 35 yards to score. Dismond's attempted placement was blocked. Pirates Score Twice The Pirates scored twice in the final quarter. Hopson going over for the first touchdown, and Hooker registering the last score late in the session. An exchange of punts gave the Pirates possession of the ball deep in Howard territory from where Dismond and Hopson battered at the Bison line to advance the ball to the 5-yard stripe. From this point, Hopson hit center for the sixpointer. Hooker place kicked the extra point for the twentieth point. Later in the period, Dismond slashed through right tackle for 50 yards, finally being brought to earth on the Howard 2-yard line by Harrod, center. From this point "Chief Bender" Hooker plunged over for the score. Hopson's attempted placement went wild. Touchdown Recalksd Touchdown retreated Justin Plummer Howard full-back, thrilled the fans with a 98-ward trek for a touchdown late in the third period. However, the touchdown was not allowed as Plummer gained possession of the ball by recovering Dismond's fumble on his own 2-yard string. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

FITE Lightweight Marvel Meets Tommy Mollis at New Albert, Thursday BALTIMORE, Md.—Louis (Kid) Cocoa, considered one of the ranking lightweight fighters in the country, has been signed by the Harlem Athletic Club of this city, for a match here Thursday night. Cocoa will trade thumps with the popular Tommy Mollis. The Cocoa-Mollis setto will be the 10-round climax to a sterling card being arranged by John King, matchmaker of the Harlem Club. The program will be put on at the New Albert Auditorium, according to Promoter Mate Klein. Gainer Fight Planned With this match the Harlem group plans to open the most auspicious season the Pennsylvania avenue arena has yet seen. Klein asserts that he is arranging to bring the best of the colored fighters in the country here, and expects to follow the Cocoa-Mollis melee with Al Gainer, the highly rated Bob Olin several times, winning, losing and drawing, and who holds a 1931 decision over James J.

European Tour For Five Fights Havana Fight to Follow New Uzcudun; Detroiter M Retzlaff, Gastanaga and NEWYORK. The proposed European tour of Joe Louis, Detroit boxing sensation, having been definitely abandoned because of strained international feelings, the Brown Bomber set about early this week for a series of fights that will take him through unhalted operations up to next summer. At that time, Louis and the fight industry will return to out-of-doors rings. Following a list of exhibition bouts in Canada, the Tan Torpedo will establish himself late this week, at Pompton Lakes, N.J. the scene of two former training sieges of the Louis forces. There, he will prepare for his Christmas Fund bout in this city, with Paulino Uzedum, the Bounding Basque.

FIGHT FANS MAY SEE SECOND BUFFALO-ELEY GO Lincoln Athletic Club Books Boxers for Return Bout Monday Night WASHINGTON, D.C.—At least two fighters can boast of having so pleased the cash customers that a return bout between them was carded within a month after the first one. They are Gene Buffalo, lemon-colored bruiser from Chester, Pa., who has adopted Philadelphia as his fighting home, and Billy Eley, scrappy little local lad who has gained for himself the reputation of being a clean-cut, harding-working youngster. Dgmand Return The two youngsters were featured on a Lincoln Athletic Club card a week ago last night. And the fans who crashed their way into the Lincoln Colonnade here, were so pleased that they howled long and loud after the hostilities were called a draw. John W. Carter, head of the Lincoln A.C., announced late Saturday night, that he and his associates, Al Dade and Jim Nash, were planning an encore of the Buffalo-Eley match. Matchmaker Walter Young was dispatched to Philadelphia Sunday to complete arrangements with the Buffalo forces. Both Eley and the Pennsylvanian are undefeated locally. The second match is slated for Monday night at the Colonnade. D.C. BLUE PLAINS SCARES GENERALS D.C. BLUE PLAINS SCARES GENERALS Industrial School Eleven Is First to Press Armstrong Tech Gridiron Team WASHINGTON, D.C.—In what was easily the hardest fought game of the season for the local team, Armstrong High School's football team annexed a 14-6 verdict over the fighting eleven from Blue Plains Industrial School, last Wednesday afternoon at Walker Stadium. The Plainsmen scored first, taking the ball over at the end of a series of trick plays, inside the first six minutes of hostilities. The Generals fought stubbornly to overcome this lead and succeeded in doing so when Calvin Clark rushed the ball over in the second perod. The invaders threatened again a little later, and except for the ending of the half, the Tech outfit might have been scored on again. The signal halted play with the ball on the Orange and Blue 1-foot line. The Generals counted their second touchdown in the third quarter, winning in a game that proved as near to being an unset of their plans as any they have had thus far this season. Unknown Winston to Test Sharkey, Ex-Champ BOSTON—Eddie (Unknown) Winston, of Hartford, Conn., has been signed for a bout with Jack Sharkey. Boston ex-sailor and ex-champion, on November 22.

C.—Intercepting an alien pass just inside midfield, Duane Wells, substitute quarterback of the Dumbar High School football team, raced 44 yards to score the game's only touchdown and give the Poets the initial victory of the annual city championship series. The Cardozo High School eleven was the victim, the score being 7-0. A crowd of nearly 1,000 composed largely of student followers from the three local high schools, viewed the contest, played at Griffith Stadium. The second game of the series will be played between the Cardozo and Armstrong outfits. Monday. Pass Goes Astray The break for Dunbar came in her second period. Flatney Marshall, Clerk quarterback, had been piloting his team through a series of passing plays. As they approached midfield, the little Purple and White field general heaved a toss which went astray. Wells seemed to drop from the sky as he pitched his body into the path of the ball and was off on hi stouchdown run, the trot that was to prove the margin of difference between victory and defeat. Blondy Gordon added the extra point, via place kick. For the remainder of that quarter and throughout the second half, Jack Young's boys tried vainly to overcome the Crimson and Black lead. But they were unable to pierce the Poet line at crucial moments. They did, however, pile up eight first downs to three for Dunbar.

Studio Mills Artists Inc., National Broadcasting Service and Columbia Broadcasting System Press Relations, all of New York. Alistair Cooke noted English commentator, broadcast over the British Broadcasting company a talk titled Jazz and the Negro in London. England last week. In speaking of Handy—the famous writer of the "St. Louis Blues" and other perhaps immortal Blues—Mr. Cooke aptly described him as the Schubert of Negro music and the Daddy of the Blues. Of Duke Ellington, Mr. Cooke said that he: "bears as much relation to New York or a Londan dance band as Beethoven bears to "Alice, Where Art Thou?" * The Mills brothers are back on the air again with a sponsored program over NBC. The boys sound as good as ever in their original tune dishing that is often imitated but never duplicated. The brothers have worked on both national chains, NBC and CBS, which doesn't bother the fans whose sole desire is to hear them. The Oieanders a quartet plus a piano accompanist, after a lengthy stay over WTAM in Cleveland, made their network debut over the Columbia Broadcasting System not long ago. The voices click in a mellow style. Their repertoire includes popular ballads and traditional spirituals, which are given in a rhythmic harmonic manner, with no outstanding voice brought forward for the center spotlight; and they are modestly organized in their singing. They are under the CEs artists' service management, and is slated for a regulation build-up. Their initial network broadcast displayed enough variety to assure a reasonable chance of getting up there in the big money. Their names are E. J. Wailes, Edward Jackson, Ira Williams, George H. Hall and Grace Wailes. Peg Leg Bates, following his engagement at Fay's Theatre in Philadelphia recently hurried back to New York to begin rehearsal for N.T.G.'s new show at the Paradise Cabaret Restaudant on Broadway. There has also been some reports that the sensational dancer will be one of the features in the new edition of "George White's Scandals." A wide variety of songs, ranging from spirituals to classics, were sung by Clyde Barrie Columbia's popular Negro baritone, on the WABC-CBS network, yesterday, from 4:45 to 5:00 p.m. His numbers included "Requiem" by Homer, "Trumpeter" by Dix, "Cavatina" from Gounod's "Faust," the spiritual. "Joshua Fit de Battle of Jeriche" and O'Hara's "There Is No Death." Barrie is now on the air twice each week. His other program is on Saturday from 10:15 to 10:30 a.m. Henry Starr and Ivan Browning at present are on a vaudevill tour of England together. Originally they went over there to sing at the Blue Train in London for three weeks. This period was extended to ten weeks, after which they went for a Paramount tour, and returned to the Blue Train. Blossoming out as a versatile young woman with an adeptness at comedy, romance and villainy is Nina Mae McKinney. In her screen career she combines them all. It might be pointed out that, instead of being classified as actors,oes are, for the most part typed according to color, age, size andurement, modes of speeches, etc. Few are accepted for screenas such. One cannot expect producers to deliberately avoid placing their Negro players in potential jeopardy of being typed, for reasons wellknown to all of us. Caution and astuteness of the players themselves, such as we have seen displayed in mild degrees by a few colored players will erase the ugly word from Negro stardom. Miss McKinney is looked upon by many as the answer to that prayer. Duke Ellington, who headlined with his Famous Orchestra all last week at Loew's State Theatre. New York, is ready to offer his newest opus, "Reminiscing" to critical and public opinion. It is a full length opus occupying four 10-inch record sides in recording...

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 12. 1935 Things Theatrical By FRANKLYN FRANK (For ANP) Hollywood Negro Film Schedule Interests Acting Profession. CHICAGO, Ill. (ANP)—Negro actors both from here and else- where, have been trekking to Hollywood in ever increasing numbers lately and for a mighty good reason. The nation's film capital is going bronze in a big way. All major studios there are planning films to include colored performers. The order, of course, is "Green Pasture," which naturally calls for a sepia cast. Most of the others hanging five are musicals with mixed performers. Ernst Lubitsch at Paramount has a net idea scheduled calling for $30 per cent of the cast to be selected from the darker members of the acting profession. At Radio a black and white musical has been reading for some time. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is planning a similar piece, Twentieth Century Fox has the musical idea with Bill Robinson and Stepin Fetchit in mind, and also has another with a strictly southern Negro angle. Columbia's "Georgianna" will have several colored in the cast, as will Universal's "Show Boat." Paramount's "So Red the Rose" just completed, has three in featured spots. The new Al Jolson picture at Warners is using Cab Calloway and his band. "Porgy and Bess" has been looked over by Emanuel Cohen for Columbia. Cohen is to make his recommendations to Harry Cohn of that company this week and if Columbia takes the play it will be an Emanuel Cohen production. Part of the revived interest is traced directly to "Sanders of the River" starring Paul Robeson and Nina Mae McKinney, which has gone rather sketchy business in U.S. houses, but nevertheless has surprised Hollywood producers by its reception. The film is British made. Fear of what Dixie will say has caused the film coyote to sleep clear of the Negro angle. The first all-sepia picture was Fors's "Hearts in Dixie," produced in 1920. Letter Metro made "Halaluduj" which got plenty of raves from the critics but few shekels in the box offices. Hollywood, in talking on this new program, has an eye for Europe where Negro stars have been the vogue now for a good many years. It is figured any drop in Dixie business will be more than offset by increased showings across the Atlantic. Incidentally, two studios are backdating to Josephine Baker, now in New York. Len Reed and Ruble ("Gild") Blakey both have their eyes on Hollywood. They have, incidentally, obtained a copyright for their new song, "Smile Up at the Sun" now being aired by Francois and his Louisianaans at Dave's Cafe...

Those attending one of the houses in Danville, the "Virginia," are forced to walk down an alley to the rear entrance of the theatre and on entering must occupy seats constructed of plain pine boards and which are without backs.

Berlin's Radio Director Bans Negro Jazz As announced by Eugene Hadamowsky, Berlin radio director and close constituent of Herr Adolph Hitler of Nazi fame, "Negro jazz music has been completely banned from German radio program and is not permitted to 'creep into broadcast in disguise.'" He then added "jazz music is a manifestation of the culture of semi-wild people, and thus belongs to a museum of racial history rather than in an art institute. Also that a government committee will be named to examine radio dance music in Germany, with a view to promoting 'pure German Music.'" People differ as to Hitler's attitude to Negroes as to the Jews he persecute but this writer is of the belief that he is twice as hard on the dark skinned person than those of Jewish extraction.

Va. — In bringing Jules Bledsoe to Ogden Hall, November 16, Hampton is following its consistent plan of presenting not only artists, but artists who have definitely won their spurs beyond all question and who may be boldly held up as examples in the field of achievement for Hampton students. Jules Bledsoe, acclaimed by critics, in Cleveland-Ohio, as "the greatest operatic baritone of his day," qualifies as one such artist. From his debut as a concert singer, in Aeolian Hall, New York City, in 1924, he has been steadily building structures of solid growth, letting "each new temple, nobler than the last" prove that his reputation was being raised on merit and not mere press-agentry.

Florence. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1935 Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb --- Scribblings from a Columnist's Scrap Book: FLASH! The Young People's Forum will not resume its activities this season!...reason seems to be failure on the part of the officialdom of the 12th Y.M.C.A. to provide Sunday afternoon space for this organization...it appears to this writer that this is a very discouraging situation in view of the tremendous following that the Y.P.F. had acquired in its initial season...The dynamic Joe Bostic, who has been laid up in bed for the past three weeks, is well on his feet again...The romance of Lewis Young and Hortense Butler is approaching the serious stage...The past Halloween season produced considerable feverish activity among the socially inclined younger set...On Tuesday the Storks presented a lively and highly successful session at the cozy little nook on 1334 "V" Street, Northwest, on Halloween night, Messrs. Joseph Bostic, Lenton Mordecal and the writer promoted a scintillating "shindig" in the Deanwood section that will cause much reminiscing in the days to come, and as a fitting climax to a week of social escay, the Y.W.C.A. girls' basketball team put over an excellent evening's entertainment on Saturday evening at 2439 Ontario Road...incidentally mentioning the Y.W.C.A. outfit brings to mind the fact that these lassies are sponsoring a gala affair on the evening of November 15, 1935, at 1817 Tenth Street, Northwest...Officers of the club are president, Miss Mildred Hearne; vice-president, Miss Delphia Watkins; secretary, Miss Ruth Ross; treasurer, Miss Ruth McRae; financial secretary, Sylvia Diggs; business manager, Mrs. Blanche Newton; matron, Mrs. Ora Wooten...The initial presentation of ORCHIDS ONLY "No Brichards allowed—we as a race don't need them to darn things." BY WILLIAM (Wigglez) THOMAS "Yes, Mr. Mackey, I thoroughly agree with you, sir; indeed, Mr. Mackey." Now, that the conference is over and I still have my job, I'll try to write this bit of nonsense and remember the boss's orders. He says I'm too long-winded and this pillar or plot should be restricted to ten inches. So-o-o I most certainly will carry out your instructions, sir. Winter is near and it's gonna be too blooming cold to be without a job. My tawsk will be to make these lines as interesting as I can, 'n' as short. From an Interview I learned that Harold L. Jackson, Jr., and wife, Rebecca, have decided to consider the kiddies rather than themselves, 'n' in order to do so they had to plant the battiexie and try for the second time for the four to live as cheaply as two. Yep, they're reunited and what a happy pair of mugs they seem to be. Orchids, kids; a pleasant voyage this time. Earl Hendegson, the business baron along Seventh Street, is progressing rapidly. He has completely remodelled his shop and has turned the management over to another—the smartest thing he could have done, of course. The chap is planning to return to his studies. Orchids, Earl. Will-power, I call it. Does the Gentleman Not Rate Orchids? To Louis Dodson: I am honored to send a "vaze" of these precious, fragile beauties. Mr. Dodson has the perseverance of an ox, or his—but wait! I'm trying to tell you that the gentleman began as a bellman in a white hotel (the Roosevelt, to be exact), became assistant to the night clerk, then clerk, and now he has the duel work of assistant night manager and assistant auditor, 'n' to my knowledge, the only Negro with such a job in this city, the capital. Whew! How did ya do it, boy? And now that the good old Tribune has jumped ahead of the other sheets by circulating two different issues weekly. I shall have to ask you if you can picture Louis Muggs, the musician, being refused admittance to the swanky Klub Sorority affair? Paul Hogue being hailed into court after a bounce on th' beezer? Edyth Lyles sticking velly close to Paul n' Mabel Ford sympatizing? Valerie Jackson being very sweet to guests? Yeah, picture this if you can. The Camera Snaps Henry M. Ingram (see, I got the "M" in, Henry), the postman, sport, lover, getting calls from—no, not Lucille Mills; she is away, Gus Harrington truckin' out east to attend the Juliette Club affair. The reason? Martha Mason. Manager Louis Brown (Merry Maker) cordially greeting his guests—er, customers Battling ZuZu enjoying himself at the rendezvous on west U Street, Nintengale's place, and Virginia and Clyde Haeden having a "misunderstanding" at Tenth and U Streets—such a sight, tish, tish! But these are not brickbats. Tee hee. Missives from th' Mail Bag A letter comes from way down Atlanta way, from one George "Bud" Kendricks, a lad from Ohio but who is attending Morris Brown College. George says: "Dear Wiggles: the Atlanta gels are the 'shells.'" I wonder if he has been peeping at Ruth Scott? (Scott Syndicate) the play "The Immortal Guest," written and produced by Mr. Norman Jackson, was staged at the Ebenezer M.E. Church, last Monday evening before a fairly enthusiastic audience...in spite of unfortunate developments in the handling of the stage equipment, Mr. Jackson has managed to mould all the earmarks of a promising production into his brainchild...outstanding members of the cast are: Messrs. Howard Jones and William Thomas and the Misses Laura Smith and Louise Stewart, Wiliam Ware were welded last week. ...The social metamorphosis of Linton Mordecai has become the chief topic of drawing room loungers...at first an extremely conservative, reserved, even anti-social lad from Harlem, "Lin" has emerged from this cocoon into the most appealing image of a "regular" guy, in every sense of the word...A few weeks ago this column published a list of what was purportedly the "cream" of Washington's pretties...not contented to have put my foot "deep in hot water" this corner is brazen enough to herewith publish the names of six of Washington's leading Don Juans—"heartbreakers" to you...here 'tis "Lin" Mordecai Howard Jones, Joseph Bostic, William "Wiggles" Thomas, Em Merr Booker and Henry Kone...The becoming, titian-haired Laura Smith surprised us with her hitherto undiscovered dramatic and singing talents...Richard "Dick" Johnson and Elsie Jennings manage to string along together, seemingly inseparable ... while Dominique Henry and Ruth Ross are endeavoring to make their interests romantically mutual...the pen's running dry, so let's close this little red book!

When are you going back? "Wiggles": Will you please be good enough to send orchids to Mr. and Mrs. Frederick King, who have been blessed with twin girls during the week—Lois Johnson. Not until I have verified that fact, Miss Johnson. Ah, you're quite right, lady. Mr. and Mrs: Frederick King have two beautiful 'ittle girls, n' they are jus' too-o-o "feet" for words. The mother is bee-tiful and Sir Freddie has a chest too-o-o big. May I humbly present nature's most beautiful array of orchids to the happy couple pod'n—"pour-ple."

I take great pleasure in announcing the starting of a two-week contest for a suitable name for this column. At the end of that time a prize will be given to the person sending in the best name. All you have to do is to think up a snappy name and send it to the Tribune office in care of Jimmy of C. and wait for the announcement telling who won the prize. The students of Cardozo have been wendering why Goffrie Dummore stayed out of school three days to work. Is it because of a hair-cut that was badly needed and finally gotten? (We like the hair-cut, Dunny.) A Mr: Joe Miller had better get a job, because the girls of Cardozo have united, and have pledged never to give Joe any more money to take them to the show. Oh Joe, what you gonna do now? A certain officer by the name of Bill Kenney went to the Navy Yard the other day. The officers on the ground started to throw him in the hold, thinking he was one of the Ethiopian chieftains. Red Coleman treated himself to a lunch, Tuesday. Everybody was so thrilled, because this is the first time Red has eaten in months. (The lunch consisted of one hot-dog and four napkins.) Charles Winston became disgusted while standing in line to receive his daily soup and crackers the other day. The reason: he did not know how to put five or six crackers in his pockets while being watched by so many people. Edward Brown is "tickled pink" with his new blue suit. He wears it on Sunday. (What color is pink, Eddy?) Because of rain, Cardozo cafeteria had to get an extra supply of hot dogs to feed the hungry who were afraid to go out in the bad weather. Why are Edward Jones and Wendell Tracy paling around together nowadays? Bicycles may be the fad of today, but Gordon Scott is running the thing in the ground. He even rides a bicycle to Sunday School. Leonard Madden, Cardozo's brilliant football player, plays a wonderful game, but he expects to tackle a passing mark from the teacher in biology when he doesn't know the difference between an ant and a beetle. Girls, girls, girls, beware of the one and only lover of Cardozo, in the person of D. Shell. Mind you. Mr: Shell has many other girls, so you'll have to rush if you want to be first in line. Joseph Stewart, well-known cadet, acted lieutenant colonel last week. Orders that Joe gave have never been heard of in the history of cadets. They were original. I am pleased to announce the organization of a new military club—the Lancers—formed by Cardozo officers. The officers elected were: Lieutenant Colonel Dunnmore, president; Second Lieutenant Watts, vice-president; Captain Winston, secretary; Major Martin, treasurer, and Captain Bowser, sergeant-at-arms. Preparations are being made for the initial dance. The Younger Set By DANIEL PARKER Miss Thelma King was hostess to a group of friends at the White-law Hotel last Saturday night. The affair was a birthday party in her honor. Music was furnished by several members of the bluebird's orchestra. The affair was well planned. Among those present were: Pauline Hart, Regina Moss, Lillian Adams, Messrs. Robert Hawkins, Tim Dent. R, Rhone and George Scurlock. Frederick Deal: beside being called "the jibes," has also been given the name of "rummie" by the local girls Did you go to the tacky party given by Helen and Margerite? The news comes that the affair was okay. This writer arrived just in time to eat. The only regret was that I could not drink the "spiced punch" because of training. Who was the young lady that was disappointed because her boy friend did not show up? Maybe Helen can tell us? Was around to Lillian Randall's home last Wednesday and had a swell time. Looking in on the party at the old Community House (Dunbar) last Thursday we find Joe Norris and orchestra beating out the music for the students. It has been decided by the girls that a football player is rougher on the dance floor, than he is on the football field. Many girls have complained of sore toes since Thursday evening, which goes on to show you that the young men need to take dancing lessons. "Gwenie" Point, a student of Miner Teacher College was seen swinging with D Steward. Charles Burke and Robert Hawkins entertained their friends at 1107 Seventh Street, N, E, last Friday night. The dance featured sweet music and beautiful girls. Among those present were: Placide Washington. Thema King, Serita Hunter. Margurite Pearson, Pauline Hart. Percy Pitts, Alexander Dickens, Owen Ridgely and Thomas King. Two local high schools went down to defeat last Friday, Dunbar lost its fourth straight game when it was defeated by Douglass of Baltimore. The score was 30 to 13. Cardozo lost its third game when it lost a 20 to 0 decision to Bates. This week the local high school series will begin, Dunbar and Cardozo will play the first game of the series at Griffith Stadium. The date is November 15. Both teams were weakened by the lost of many veterans. But those of you who will be present will see a good game. Did you see the boy in the white jacket down at the dance Thursday? He is a member of Company G of Dunbar and it is said that he is one of the boys if you know what I mean. Nat Dickens gave a swinger at his home last Thursday night and you can take it from me that the affair was swell. The party was given in its basement. The lights were low the music sweet and eats grand. The Voice of Alexandria BY EDDIE NEWMAN NOW!! TWO PAPERS WEEKLY TUESDAYS FRIDAYS The Tribune AGENTS MAKE BIG MONEY SELLING The Tribune BECOME AN AGENT TODAY. For particulars, write— CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT 920 U St., N.W. Phone Pot. 1667 "A Columnist About Town" Yours truly speaking!...Again we greet you with the latest sketches on the home-towners...FLASH...Direct from the Parker-Gray School dance of last Friday nite, comes these bits of news items...The affair was supposed to be a barn dance. At least it was whispered around the floor that it was a barn dance...Not that it really was though, unless you care to count that red handkerchief. The one Mr. Ralph Lane kept swinging about in his hand during the evening...That little piece of cloth direct from the five and ten was the only bit of scenery, which might allow you to believe that you were attending a barn dance...No decorations of any kind greeted this scribe's eyesight. Not even a piece of colored paper over two high powered electric bulbs...And yet someone saw fit to charge just one-fourth of a dollar for admission to such an affair...There could have at least been some bits of corn cobs or what have you scattered around, but no, whoever had charge of the outfit thought it better for the patrons to look at the bare brick walls and dusty stage curtains...Enough said...Perhaps too much...And now, we greet Mr. Lawrence Baker trucking in just a little ahead of his supposed heart interest Miss Laura Luckett. What I am trying to drive at is this...That the dear boy allowed the lovely miss to plant her own two-bits on the line...Incidentally the lady at the money box was very, very cautious about those quarters. At an early hour she could be heard reminding some dear chap not to stray too far a way from the ticket office before planting it down...She reminded him that only working patrol boys were supposed to get in gratis (free)...Getting back to the dear patrons we find that Lane chap passing up a neat two dollars in order to guard Miss Mary Hancock from all possible dangers such as Freddie Carters and others who cared very much to take more than one dance with the cute little miss. We must admit though that it was pretty tough behind that sax at the last affair. Mr. Ralph Lane will second the motion I'm sure...FLASH...We note that some well wishing wind blew some of the CCC boys back in town. Well wishing because Miss Ruby Lane is sporting around town a neat little watch from one of the gentlemen...She evidently wants it published because at the dance she so eagerly rushed out with this sentence "Newman I got the watch...FLASH...Overheard Herbert Turner passing out orders to Miss Marion Glenn to sit in the chair beside him for the rest of the evening. He you know, plays in the orchestra. It seems as though he could not enjoy seeing Miss Marion float by with the greatest of case, and he not being the partner. Also saw the reason why and where Mr. Louie Bently disappears on Sunday nites. She is Miss Alice Moore. Need I say more?... "Odds and Ends" Believe it or not this scene really did take place last week. It all deals with one bold knight (very, very brave), who made a boast to the girl friend...Says he, "I'll stop the first car that comes along"....Of course now the fair lady was somewhat doubtful...So to prove it, the lad steps out in FIFTEEN front of the first headlight that appeared, thrown up his hands and commanded the car to halt... The machine not wishing to disobey came at once to a stop but here's the funning part... Standing out in nice big white and also bold letters were the printed words "ALEXANDRIA POLICE" on the car. And the end of the story can be told in a very few words. The lad's collar became about two or three sizes too small for him... That we believe is the prize boner of the season...FLASH...From our undercover agent on the hill comes the news that Miss Nellie Hollins has at least walked the path to the altar...The groom is Horace Kyer of this city...We extend our best wishes for a happy future. It will be easy for the groom to remember the date because it happened on goblin nite two weeks ago, and so the dear boy should rate a rolling pin for being forgetful, when the day comes around again. FLASH...Advice to the lovelorn...When calling on your Sunday girl friend always sit on one side of the room with your hand on your chin, and allow the girl friend to sit on the other side as one Mr. William Wilson does...And in the meanwhile have as a spectator mother, reading the Sunday funny papers...And there my friends you have a perfect setting or a perfect evening...FLASH...To whom it may concern, attention! The rumor going around town linking this scribe with one Miss Elena Yeager is, in its entirety, absolutely false. The future if there is to be one does not reside in the old home town. And so I thank the spreaders of such false tales if they will cease at once.Enough said...Seaillions to one of our home town lassies for her disgraceful acting last Saturday nite at the well known fight garden on Gibbon Street. The shocking thing about the whole affair is this.It puts the well meaning boy friend in a tough spot although he was away from the scene of action and not in any way connected. And since the lad is a member of our local orchestra I would advise him to change scenery and pick some lass much more thoughtful than the young lady in question.That's sound advice my dear boy and now the maestro leaves it up to you..Cheerio everyone until next week and don't forget to be with me at the St. Joseph's Fund Dance for its Alexandria Charity contribution next Monday nite, at Old Fellow's Hall, with Dick Hall and his rhythm boys behind the music..Goodbye and pleasant dreams..So help me, so help me. Dr. Dubois Sees Ethiopian Invasion a Turning Point In History of Darker Races ATLANTA, Ga. — Italy's attack on Ethiopia marks the beginning of a new era for the darker races, Dr. W. E. B. B DuBois, University, declared Friday night professor of sociology in Atlanta in a public lecture on "The Future of the Darker Races" at Morehouse College. "One may sense," he said, "by comparing the present attitude of the world toward this invasion of Ethiopian with the lack of agitation that followed the British and German attacks on East Africa and Uganda begin-Europe and America toward the ning in 1884, and the attitude of Boxer Rebellion." The Black X That Grand Old Spirit "Ah, what a rotten team!" "No guts or spirit for food. Another man hurt. Creech! for what?"

After a debate among the officials the score was ruled out.

DEATH RATE SIX TIMES THAT OF WHITES Dr. Wiggins Urges Citizens to Take Advantage of Free X-rays Members of the Pleasant Plains Civic Association were urged by Dr. E, C. Wiggins, chairman of the public relations committee, Medico-Chirurgical Society, to take advantage of the free X-ray which is to be given by health officials and local physicians during the tuberculosis case-finding project the week of November 25. The meeting was held in the Monroe School auditorium. Dr. Wiggins pointed out in his address that the death rate from tuberculosis in Washington was nearly six times that of whites. He said the white rate was 50 deaths to every 100,000 population while the colored rate was 300. There are twice as many cases and deaths among colored, the speaker said. Cites Poor Envoirnment Dr. Wiggins stated that environment and poor economic conditions were the causes of the high death rate among Negroes. Following the address by Dr. Wiggins, Miss Ruth Ellis, of the Birmingham School Community Center, rendered a piano and vocal solo.

Bell Ringer of William, Mary Honored for 45 Years' Service Henry Billups Is Presented With Gold Watch and Chain and Gold Bell and Seal of College At Annual Homecoming Game WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Graduates returned to William and Mary College, white, Saturday in their annual homecoming to do honor to Henry Billups, for' 45 years bell ringer of that institution. The entire alumni session in Phi Beta Kappa Hall, following a football game with Virginia Military Institute, was devoted to praise of Billups for his many years of faithful and devoted service. praises. Contrasting other honors conferred by the college with his own Billups said theirs were on parchment to be hung on a wall or stored away in a trunk, while his was on gold and to be worn every day, and with a bell to attract attention should anyone fail to notice it. The President Speaks The president of the college, the Col. John W. Wright, U.S.A., of the class of 1895 presented, on behalf of the alumni, a gold watch and chain and a gold bell and seal of the college. He told of a recent visit to Williamsburg, of his loneliness amid the new surroundings made possible by the generosity of Mr. Rockefeller, when suddenly a kindly voice called the solonel's name. It was the voice of the old bell ringer, the only remaining link in the chain that reached back in. Col. Wright's memory for 40 years, the only living tie that binds the old and the new William and Marv Audience Stand to Cheer The entire audience, the largest in many years stood and greeted the presentation with prolonged applause, and remained standing in silence as the flash-lights and the cameras clicked, and even to the end of the speech of acceptance. Reminiscences of humorous incidents of former presidents, teachers, and students, some of whom were in the audience, characterized the bell ringer's response. As Billups entered the stadium near the end of the first quarter, with his little nephew from Washington in his Dunbar High School cadet uniform, as military aid, the bell ringer was greeted by repeated yells from the William and Mary rabble. Between the halves even the loud speaker sang his DIVORCE Continued on page 10 patable party, and declared that the two charges used by the wife as grounds for a divorce, were applicable only to her. Mrs. Sumner, in her petition, charged her husband with cruelty and desertion. On the stand she testified that her difficulties with the university professor began shortly after her marriage and continued until her husband allegedly left her, leaving behind a note in which he penned that to desert her was the only way out of their difficulties. Called Childish Mr. Justice Wheat frequently interrupted Austin Canfield, white, attorney for Mrs. Sumner, to inform him that his charges "seemed childish" on Mrs. Sumner's part, and in no way indicated cruelty on the part of the husband. As the trial drew to a close Friday, the defense called to the stand Dr. E. C. Wiggins, instructor in urology, Howard Medical School, who testified that he examined Dr. Sumner who complained of an attack. Dr. Sumner had testified that his wife made the attack on him in a rage. Dr. Max Meenes, head of the department of psychology at Howard University, and Professor Frederick P. Watts, an associate in the department testified that Dr. Sumner was of normal mentality, that his conduct toward his wife was very considerate and courteous, and that the professor was not given to cursing. He has always tried to find a peaceful settlement in their differences. Watts said. Mrs. Sumner was asking for an absolute divorce on the grounds of cruelty and desertion and asked the court to award her $100 a month alimony. Everything asked for in her petition was denied by Mr. Wheat and the case dismissed. Hints oh Infantile Paralysis By T. THEO, PARKER Poliomyelitis commonly known as infantile paralysis is one of the most dreaded diseases of today. It is so because of its sudden onset, and the swiftness with which it paralyses, cripples and permanently deforms its victims. The majority of persons attacked by this disease are children between the symptoms of its approach. ages of four and ten years. Parents and guardians therefore, should have some knowledge of the The disease is classed as infectious. It occurs during the summer and early fall. It is insidious in its attack. An apparently healthy child may return from play looking dull and droopy; vomits after eating; becomes suddenly weak and sick; quickly develops a high temperature with signs of twitching of the muscles of face or hands. Within a few minutes or couple of hours complex paralysis of an arm, a leg, or one side of one body involving arm and leg, or the lower half of the body involving both legs, will be noticed. It is claimed that the disease is caused by a certain class of germs which enters the body through the nostrils or mouth. It has how cord which rapidly develops an inhorn, or motor region of the spinal cord. The theory follows, that at some and some times death. praises. Coprastring other honors conferred by the college with his own Billups said theirs were on parchment to be hung on a wall or stored away in a trunk, while his was on gold and to be worn every day, and with a bell to attract attention should anyone fail to notice it. The President Speaks The president of the college, the Honorable John Stewart Bryan, referred to the guest of honor in the words of Homer as "The Blameless Ethiopian." He spoke of the occasion as a spontaneous expression of the William and Mary spirit, that something that money can't buy, which in itself is a mark of culture, and that Henry Billups is a product of that culture. Billups lives in his own home just across the street from the college campus. Good fortune smiled upon him in the reconstruction of historic Williamsburg to the extent of $27,000 for his old home in addition to the new site. The longest period in which Billups has been away from the William and Mary campus during the 47 years of his employment was two weeks when he was one of the attendants with the college exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition. He was recently chosen as the first member of his race to serve on the grand jury at Williamsburg Reserved seats were provided in the Phi Beta Kappa auditorium for the bell ringer's relatives and friends. Among those present were his wife, Mrs Rebecca Billups, his sister, Mrs. Edward M. Harris, of Philadelphia, his niece and her husband, Attorney and Mrs. Emory B. Smith, of Washington, and their son, Emory Harris Smith. MURDER (Continued from Page 1) car and hauled to a point fifteen miles southeast of Doub, not far from Rockville, where it was dragged out and left beside the street. A mile further down the road a tire became flat and Brown left the car abandoned. The charred body was found on Saturday and was burned beyond recognition. It was identified through a set of false teeth. According to the police, Brown's confession was that the murder was the culmination of a series of arguments which had taken place since Silva accused his step-son of stealing a chichen from him two weeks ago. Youth Confesses For several hours police grilled Brown in an attempt to gain a confession but Brown maintained his innocence. He was taken to a Rockville undertaker where the body was being held, in hopes that he would weaken, but to no avail. The confession did not come, police said, until Brown was confronted with a written statement made by his sister, Mrs. Blanche Smith, who lived in the house with him, in which she stated that her brother had committed the murder. Brown told police that his stenfather had accused William Brown, a friend of the accused with having stolen Silva's clothes. Silva then accused someone of opening his desk and taking a paper showing he owed the 1927 Packard automobile kept on the farm. Brown was then accused of putting glass in Silva's food. Claims Self-Defense Thursday, while Brown was fixing the stove, he said. Silva was pressing a shirt. Suddenly he ran at his son with the heated flat iron, Brown said, and then pulled a dagger from his pocket. The dagger was held in his right hand and he grabbed an ice pick with his left, according to Brown. Brown then grabbed an iron bar nearby, and the ice pick and stabbed the pick in Silva's chest. He then proceeded in his attempt to burn the body. Fay Says— The Republicans are getting together for 1936.

Too Many Organizations "We have in this country a multitude of organizations which are more wasteful to the racial life than they are constructive. What we need is a great constructive organization with its eyes always on the economic miseries of the race, to find solutions which will lift the race to its magnificent opportunities in this country. "While the white men are organizing and building industries from one end of the country to the other, we are wasting our time on lodges, orders and useless social organizations without one simple constructive thought. No man has to be a poor man in a nation like this," the speaker said. Dr. Thompkins told the radio audience that one of the greatest weaknesses of the race was its failure to support its own business enterprises. Urged to Support Own "If ever it should overcome this fatal weakness through the development of its racial character, it will be able to build great business and commercial houses which will practically take care of its unemployed now vainly seeking employment among whites." Declaring that part of the blame lies with the Negro merchant, Dr. Thompkins said that unless the retail dealers of the race develop increased sales among their racial group, their future program will be unstable and uncertain. The recorder pointed out that the 10,755 food stores operated by Negroes in the country reported total sales amounting to only $36,662,523 for the year. He estimated that if the Negro population would spend a low average of twenty-five cents per day for food they would spend more than one billion dollars a year. This fact indicated he said, that the Negro is spending at least $1,048,000,000 a year with food dealers of other racial groups. "What the race needs more than anything else is economic organization and leadership. Temporal salvation is at hand if they will only take the necessary steps to secure it. There can be no doubt of the survival of our agricultural group in the days to come, but there will be a very serious doubt of the survival of our urban groups unless our whole economic life is subjected to a radical and wholesome revision.

SATTERWAITE PHILADELHIA—Denying that she had offered Louis Meyer, white, secretary of the Pardon Board, a bribe to aid her in obtaining a commutation of sentence for Leroy Jones, a convicted burglar, Mrs. Roas J. Satterwaite in an interview with the Philadelphia Tribune, stated that the charges against her were made in an attempt to "frame" her. Mrs. Satterwaite, who is a prominent social and political worker, said, after displaying a large batch of official letters from court and State officials, that every step taken by her to obtain Jones' release was done in a "diplomatic manner" and that no money had been passed from her to anyone during her recent visit to Harrisburg. "The reason for the whole business is that those men in Harrisburg are not used to having a lone Negro coming to them with official business without coming through someone else and especially a woman." Dear Public: Dear Public: Pleas of the delegation or natives at Freetown, West Africa, who conferred with the Secretary of the Colonial Office that minerals found upon lands occupied by the natives should belong to them instead of being controlled by the Crown, fell upon deaf ears and the Secretary informed them that it was not only right for the Crown to assume such authority but that such action was to the best interests of the nativee. Prior to 1927 natives who discovered minerals on the land which they tilled were permitted to sell them, but a law was passed later nutilifying the agreement and the Crown assumed control of all minerals. The deputation of natives, after failing to show the Secretary the injustice of such an ordinance, urged him to work to the end that those natives who had found gold or other minerals before 1927 be allowed to use them as they saw fit. To this plea the Secretary replied that such cases should be brought to his attention individually and that he would see what could be done, but that he would not consider them collectively. This is one of the sort of unfair measures practiced by THOMPKINS (Continued from Page 1) and that it is the Negro's only solution to their "weakining and ruinous ailment."

"Which way after 1935?" will be the topic of conversation as Urban League secretaries from all sections of the country gather in New York late next month for the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Conference of the national organization. The National Urban League is completing this fall twenty-five years of work in the fields of industrial and interracial relations and its field force will meet at the national headquarters to discuss the future programs of the organization in view of the quarter century of experience. This will mark the first national meeting in the New York area for the League since 1926, and it is expected that each of the forty-three branches will find itself represented at the Conference table. Beginning with a staff of two persons in 1910 when specialized social service for Negroes was almost non-existent, the League has had rapid growth. Today its branches are spread throughout the nation in most of the large industrial centers and its employed staff numbers more than three hundred and fifty trained and experienced sial workers. In addition there are about eighty persons who have been trained on Urban League fellowships serving in the fields of social work, research, and the teaching profession throughout this country and the Virgin Islands. The last few years have been a very rapid shift of the responsibility for much of the nation's social service and employment work to the federal and state governments. This has naturally necessitated a shift in the contacts and the activities of the League. It is this new development in their chosen field that will engage the attention of the workers at the October nowwow. It is expected that some of the government officials responsible for the various departments of the New Deal and its alphabetical agencies will also attend and join in the discussion. The topics listed in the tentative programs list off the press indicate that attention will be paid to the Urban League's future position in the fields of industry, Negro health work, recreation, neighborhood and home improvements, workers' education, and the BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL ONE JUMPY OVER ITALO-ETHIOPIAN TANGLE PORT SAID, Egypt (ANP Special Correspondence)—Movements of Italian troops toward the Ethiopian battle area, and return of hospital ships from there, has left this entire section jumpy. The hospital ship, California, arrived here recently from Eritrea with 680 aboard, the largest batch so far of invalids and wounded. Only Italian officers were allowed aboard. As the California came in, a troop ship outward bound, so crowded the soldiers almost hid the rigging, passed. Usually when ships bearing Italian soldiers pass they hail each other tempestuously. These boats exchanged no greeting whatever. Because of the large number of soldiers passing through, strained practice almost cause a panic. This was intensified by the subsequent booming of guns seaward and subsided only when the ships returned at nightfall. There are all sorts of impossible rumors which excite the Arab and Italian population. Canal police have a delicate task in preventing riots and maintaining peace among them. An important football final match between an Egyptian and an Italian team was advisedly postponed. Despite Italian claims of putting in modern transportation methods through all the territory now occupied, it has been learned here that the new road from Asmara towards Adowa is at times impassable. It is wide enough for only one car traffic, and if an auto breaks down and its immediate repair is impossible it is thrown over the sides. Both sides of the road are understood on reliable authority to be strewn with cars abandoned in this manner, and there has been a terrible waste of cargoes. Military supplies in the Italian base of Eritera are sufficient for like. The conference will be open to the public and the League's national headquarters at 1123 Broadway, New York, will furnish further information to interested parties.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL DEMOCRATS IN HARLEM VICTORIOUS NEW YORK — Upsetting completely all of the carefully figured out "dope" of local political observers, a Democratic landslide unequalled in intensity in the history of the community, swept through Harlem at the elections Tuesday. Leaders of groups once considered powerful in the local political arena stood aghast as districts which up to then had always gone their way, returned with majorities against them and in favor of the seemingly irresistible Tammany tide. Outstanding among the startling results of the day's balloting, said to be one of the heaviest for an off year ever known in Harlem, was the apparently universal turn against the Republican candidates by local voters as evidenced by the early returns. Bruce Victor Herbert L. Bruce, Democratic leader of the Twenty-first Assembly District, who, it was thought, faced a bitter test of his newly-acquired leadership, came through in a manner which was described as "magnificent." Bruce's candidates for both the assembly and the board of aldermen, in the face of strong opposition, were both elected by overwhelming majorities. In the contest for the assembly seat, William T. Andrews, the Democratic candidate, far shadowed his Republican opponent, Lamar Perkins, polling a total of 10,885 votes to Perkins's 3,645. The swing to the Democrats also caught in its relentless maelstrom Conrad A. Johnson, militant Republican alderman from the Twenty-first Assembly District who, having been refused the regular Republican nomination, had waged an energetic independent campaign, opposing both Eustace Dench, the Tammany designee and the Republican nominee, Pope Billups. Democrats Jubilant The results of this three-cornered fight were, Dench, 9,523; Billups, 1,272 and Johnson, 1,535. General belief is growing that the poor showing made by both Johnson and Billups was occasioned by their fight, and that Dench, improving his opportunity, had availed himself of the split in the ranks of the enemy to slip in. Extreme pleasure at the great victory was expressed by Bruce, who declared that the event held great significance. "The entire district, both hill and valley, stood up 100 per cent for the Democratic candidates, which makes me feel that majority leadership is a success for the district," said Bruce. Complete Sweep Great Democratic strength was also seen in the results in the Nineteenth and Thirteenth Assembly Districts. In the former, Robert Justice, Democratic candidate for the assembly, triumphed over Samuel Holman, Republican opponent, 7,588 to 3,915; and Edward Fleming, Republican aspirant for the assembly from the Thirteenth, was snowed under by the Democratic designate and present incumbent, William Sheldrick, who garnered a total of 10,864 votes to Fleming's 4,695. The aldermanic contest in the Nineteenth aldermanic district, which includes the Nineteenth Assembly District and ten election districts of the Thirteenth Assembly District, proved to be another shock to Republican adherents when Cary D. Blue, who conducted an exceedingly active campaign, was defeated decisively by the Democratic candidate, Charles Lynch. In both the Nineteenth and Thirteenth Districts, Lynch achieved totals which were almost double those of Blue. The figures were: Thirteenth Lynch 2,247, Blue 1,474; Nineteenth Lynch 7,091, Blue 3,895, making grand totals of Lynch 9,338, Blue 5,369, with one election district missing. Johnson Beaten Although definite details were not available, it was authoritatively reported that James Johnson, Negro aldermanic candidate in the Twenty-second Assembly District, had been defeated by the white Democrat, Lew Haas. Commenting on the major setback, local Republican leader were outspoken in their criticism of Mayor LaGuardia and the city administration, upon whom they placed the major portion of the blame for their crushing defeat. The increase in the Democratic vote, like the great, jump in registration this year, they attributed to the whispering campaign which they charged had been carried on by the Democrats among the rank and file voters of Harlem.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 12. 1935 Vaudeville Star Scores in Opera NEW YORK CITY, (ANP — From an exercise boy on a race track to an opera star, despite the fact that he can not read a note, is the unique record of John W. Bubbles, one of the stars of "Porgy and Bass" George Gershwin's folk opera now appearing at the Alvin Theatre. Christened in a Methodist church in Nashville. Tennessee, John William Sublett and carried to Louisville, Kentucky the home of horse racing, the youth soon found a job at Churchhill Downs as an exercise boy. He too found that the high sounding name of "John William Sublett" was a draw-back so he adopted the moniker "Bubbles." Another result of his operation at the race track was the joining up with another chap for whom the horses and horse racing had a fascination, who bore the name of Ford Lee Washington. In off hours the two lads were always together and Washington would drop into the home of a mutual friend and there would spend hours playing the uiano while his side kick improvised verses for the music and did a little "tap dancing." Both found themselves unusually talented but Washington found that he would have to find a catching and more suitable name and so after premeditation and meditation hit upon the name of "Buck." Subsequently the team of "Buck and Bubbles" was formed and they started out upon their new venture, forsaking their first love, the race horses. After going the rounds of small town bookers, they were kept from returning to their first love at Churchill Downs and their rise was rapid. From vaudeville stars to the musical comedy, starring in one of the Ziegfeld productions, and thence to the screen and Bubbles now to opera, where he is stealing the show "Bubbles" in addition to his singing adds a little dancing which scores just as big a hit. When questioned as to how he happened in opera after so many years in vaudeville, the singing hoofer declared that what he really wanted to know was just how he got on the stage. But from the way in which the patrons anplaude him the race track has lost a "good exercise boy" and the stage has gained a star.

The latter is Bowman's nephew and was present when Blackburn was beaten up. Blackburn, it seems, wanted to inspect a garage in the rear of Bowman's house with the idea of purchasing it. An argument started and Bowman knocked the trainer down. Witnesses testified that 10 shots were fired, one of which struck Mr. Houser who was walking down the street, and another which hit Lucy Cannon, a nine year old girl. However, police headed by Detectives Harold Colander and James Woulfe were unable to find any of the four guns said to have been used and none of the bullets. Bullets "Disappears" One of the bulleties was said to have mysteriously disappeared after it dropped from Houser's clothing onto the floor of the operating room at Provident Hospital. All through the inquest Deputy Coroner Grant, and Attorneys Clayton, Richard E. Westbrooks, representing Bowman, and Attorney W. W. O'Brien, white, counsel for Blackburn and Parnell, wrangled bitterly. Clayton exploded a boomshell by asking the police what became of the guns and the bullets. Immediately after the verdict was returned, Mr. Bruseaux was retained in the matter. Blackburn, Bowman, Parnell and Ellis are to be arranged in Felony court on November 19 on charges of assault with intent to kill. Trustees Re-elected George A. Robbison, chairman, John H.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1935 The Bootblack Comes Back Among Us The presence on the streets of the colored boy, and occasionally a man, with his homemade box, offering to shine our shoes, is a sign. First, it shows reduced opportunities for jobs. Then it displays the determination to do something rather than steal or starve. Finally, it indicates that the group is coming to realize that some of its money has not been circulating within the group. 101 102 103 104 105 The bootblack and the newsboy are two schools for early training in economics. They show the boy that money is a token of some exchange, and that if you have something to offer that the other fellow wants, there is a chance to get some of the money in circulation. It also dictates the necessity for skill that may come through experience. Because bad weather stops the work, it also increases it when the sun shines again, hence the necessity for "laying something aside for a rainy day." Bootblacking and news-vending demand an investment, however small; hence the idea of capital is established, and the profit comes to be based upon the cost. It may be that the price of shining shoes will come down to the traditional pickel, as it ought to, because people wear less shoes than they used to. Then unshined shoes will be as rare as unpressed clothes. Unfortunately, most of the material is bought from others; hence the possibility of any considerable profit is low. If the bootblacks and the news-venders will become reliable so that one may depend upon them, and will study customers and the opportunities for inventions in materials and ways of selling, they may rise from their lowly but necessary jobs, just as men have done before them. Dust today is as unsightly as mud used to be in "horse and buggy days"; hence boot-blacks perform a service. The New Race Problem Finding ourselves in the midst of a stream too swift for any individual's power, we must drift with the tide. Machines have come to stay, and inventors and engineers almost daily give the industrial world a new bag of tricks. The value of all this machinery is in its gifts to human welfare—only that, and nothing more. The test is always "service." Between the human engines of modern manufacture comes the business man who brings the goods directly to you. He, too, is being replaced by machines which serve. These gains in production and service have one great fault; they reduce the need for human hands, and that makes unemployment, lack of income, starvation, poverty, crime and a host of mental and physical ills. This condition reduces human welfare, and makes it impossible for the ordinary man to own the machine-producer and control any share of the produce, except that which he may buy with money. Not able to earn that money, he must slowly die. Once upon a time, the Negro was the machine. Slave hands produced what the world wanted and slave-owners got the return. Then, as now shrewd men got a great surplus of money from paying low wages and taking large profits. That money enabled them to finance machines as they slowly came from the brain of the inventor. Money made by such men in the early days of the Republic forced upon this country the general nature of the Constitution and the general trend of the courts. When it suited their purpose to further cheap labor, in 1830 to 1835, they found labor beginning to organize politically to get tax money to pay for some of the things it needed in common but could not buy out of its small wages. Its women and girls were forced into factories to keep the families alive. This was in the North. The money power decided to flood the labor market by freeing Negroes, and even went so far as war to compass their end. They got control of the government and again fooled labor by introducing the protective tariff to raise prices, but not wages, until labor further organized and threatened that control at every election. Negroes were next brought into the picture as the means of fixing that control, but the political party in power discarded the Negro when that control was in the hands of the money power—in 1876. From when until 1932, the Negro has been the football of those groups that strove for domination of the rules of the economic game, until he found himself without chance of employment because that same moneypower had bought other machines that now made hands almost unnecessary. Negroes were left to starve. Politics has an economic basis, and the new problem of the Negro is not any party name or any catchy slogan, but the kind of rules that party will enact into law to make it possible for every man, woman and child to realize their guarantees of life, liberty and happiness in this land of opportunity. Politics has an economic basis, and the new problem of the Negro is not any party name or any catchy slogan, but the kind of rules that party will enact into law to make it possible for every man, woman and child to realize their guarantees of life, liberty and happiness in this land of opportunity. There is no single panacea for national ills, but causes have been traced and are known for their effects upon the lives of men, women and children, who have been first kept without education and opportunity, and are now denied the right to earn a living because they are not educated and trained. Democracy implies a voice and vote for every citizen who keeps the law, but that law must be just and justly decided to make that implication a fact. Everywhere we need leadership in the right direction, not merely leaders who lead us to slaughter. This is a national Negro problem. Major Arthur C. Brooks Every time we see a cadet of our local high schools in his blue uniform and walking smartly with manly bearing, we must recall that it was the foresight of one man whose contact with military training in our national schools made that organization possible. Major Arthur C. Brooks, father of the Washington High School Cadets among us, was a soldier in every respect. His command of himself gave him easy control of others. His love of young manhood gave him the inspiration which he communicated to others. His travels and services connected with the office of the Secretary of War, made him highly educated in that only school where real learning is found, the school of experience.

As commander of the First Separate Battalion of the National Guard of the District of Columbia, he made of that organization a training school not only for citizen soldiers, but for citizenship and manhood. Erect, poised, calm, dignified by reason of his power and capacity rather than by any false show or pretense, Major Brooks became a model for all those men who belonged to his organizations as well as for those who merely associated with him. His training of the local cadets in the late nineties sent a score as officers into the Spanish-American War and opened the way for his successors—Major James C. Walker, deceased, and Major Arthur C. Newman, present commander of the unit—to enter the World War. Colonel Oliver Davis, U.S.A., was also a product of that training, and recent recruits to the regular army posts in Arizona have come to their careers through the organization set up by Major Brooks. The manhood of Washington owes a debt of gratitude to that great public servant. The boyhood of Washington has an obligation to live up to the standard he established.

The Importance of Factual Data The Importance of Factual Data By CHARLES E. HALL Specialist, Negro Statistics, Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. Excerpts from a speech delivered at Cheyney State Teachers' College, Pa., October 19. (Continued from last week) AND VITAL STATISTICS. We now know the approximate number of our deaths each year and the principal causes of death in each State; the approximate number of births, legitimate and illegitimate; we know our approximate birth rate and death rate; the number of persons sent by the courts to State and Federal Prisons and Reformatories, the offenses for which they were committed, the number discharged, and the number executed; the number of church edifices, their value, the mortgage indebtedness, yearly expenditures and the number of members reported for each religious organization. Data are available that will show you the number of homes owned and rented by Negro families, their median value, the median monthly rental, the median size of both owner and tenant families, and the number of radio sets owned in the State. Court and in Cities We now know the approximate number of our deaths each year and the principal causes of death in each State; the approximate number of births, legitimate and illegitimate; we know our approximate birth rate and death rate; the number of persons sent by the courts to State and Federal Prisons and Reformatories, the offenses for which they were committed, the number discharged, and the number executed; the number of church edifices, their value, the mortgage indebtedness, yearly expenditures and the number of members reported for each religious organization. Data are available that will show you the number of homes owned and rented by Negro families, their median value, the median monthly rental, the median size of both owner and tenant families, and the number of radio sets owned in the States, Counties and in Cities of 2,500 or more inhabitants. You can learn by merely asking, how many farms are operated by Negro owners, the number of acres, the value of land and buildings on these farms; the number of retail stores operated by Negro proprietors, the kind of business, the value of stocks on hand, the number of persons employed, the amount paid in wages, and the total value of sales made for each commodity group classification. And there are other governmental agencies that can give you the apparent per capita consumption of such food products as beef, pork, eggs, poultry, sugar, milk, coffee, butter, cheese, cabbage potatoes, beans, onions, etc. They will tell you the per capita consumption of ice cream, peanuts, spaghetti, bananas, and chewing gum, in gallons, pound and sticks. All of this is the kind of data called factual. It is the kind of information that is used in the regulation of agriculture finance. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1935 trade and commerce. It is the kind that enables the dominant group to plan intelligently for the future, for without such factual information, agriculture, trade, commerce, finance, industry, and transportation would be in a permanent state of demoralization. Calvin Says By FLOYD J. CALVIN CHEYNEY PLANS BY STATISTICS As a practical example, and with your permission, I shall now change the name of the Cheyney State Teachers College to the Cheyney Cream Separator Company with Leslie P. Hill, president. This company desires to expand its busi-ness in the State of Michigan, for instance, and a letter is sent to the Bureau of the Census requesting information concerning the number of farms reporting cows and heifers milked daily and the daily production, by counties. President Hill as an efficient business executive wants to concentrate his selling campaign to the counties in which 10,000 cows are milk-of farms reporting cows and heifers milked production is 20,000 gallons or more, knowing that it would be a waste of time, effort and money trying to sell cream separators in a beef cattle raising county or in a mining, fruit or timber county. In our reply we would inform President Hill that of the 83 counties in Michigan there were, according to our last report, 24 counties in which 10,000 or more cows and heifers were milked daily, and 31 counties reporting a daily production of 20,000 gallons or more, and we would give him a list of the counties for each inquiry. President Hill would then call in his sales manager, contract for his advertising in the county newspapers and send his best salesmen to the counties indicated. This company desires to expand its business methods and the use of factual data President Hill is able to concentrate his work by the elimination of 59 counties based on the number of cows milked daily, or 52 counties on the milk production. If he had covered all of the 83 counties he probably would have lost money for the Cheyney Cream Separator Company, which might have resulted in the election of a new president by the stockholders of the company at their next meeting. This is an example typical of the operations of trained business men who know what they want and how and where to find it, and it is also typical of the service rendered by the Bureau of the Census.

TO GO FORWARD. DON'T GO TOO FAR BACK. It appears to me, then, that it is highly essential for use to acquaint ourselves with facts about what is going on in our immediate vicinity, and throughout the Nation, especially about those things which so vitally affect our social and economic advancement as a group. The fall of the Roman Empire; the rise and spread of Mohammedism; the 12th Century Crusades, and even the Protestant Reformation by Luther may be highly informative, cultural and entertaining subjects to teach Negro students in the class rooms of our high schools, colleges and universities, but it is quite improbable that life lines will be thrown out to them by Caesar or Cicero, Mohammed or Luther after they shall have left these institutions of learning and are——"blown restless violence round about the pendent world," as one author writes. It is also quite doubtful that such a substructure will enable them to contribute largely to the present day requirements of our racial group which is now fiercely struggling to hold the accumulations amassed during nearly three-quarters of a century of a Century of freedom. In this connection, I regretfully remind you that during the ten years 1920 to 1930 our Negro farm owners lost 2,749,619 acres of land, an area equivalent to 4,296 square miles or more than twice the size of the State of Delaware; an acreage that would make a strip of land 2 miles wide reaching from Philadelphia to Santa Fe, New Mexico (2,115 miles) or, 1 mile wide from Washington, D.C., to Berlin, Germany (4,167 miles)—a loss that we can ill afford. Although there are available data showing our losses in agriculture; our displacement in industry; our congestion in the slum districts of certain large cities; our neglect to organize our purchasing power; the faulty distribution of certain professional groups; our criminal cord, and our failure to register births in many areas, a negligence which is reflected in our decidedly high death rate, I do not know at this time, that any Negro group has presented definite plans to remedy these conditions. But the day will come when some of our young men now in training, will be making plans for our future and when that day comes they will have access to factual data that will guide them in their work.

JUST A PRANK Attention of chivalrous southern senators who blocked passage of the Wagner-Costigan anti-lynching bill, is called to what happened in White Bluff, Tenn., the other day. A band of armed white men there seized a Negro from officers of the law, drove him to a thicket, shot him in the chest and left him to die. The victim had been charged with slapping a white woman. The lynchers, who had borrowed the gun from a deputy sheriff named Donnelly, returned it after their deed. "They were all laughing." Donnelly reported, "and seemed like they had enjoyed what they had done."

CALVIN PEGLER AT GENEVA Instead of improvement in the attitude of fairness in reports from Europe and East Africa on the war being waged by Italy against Ethiopia, there has occurred another event which will further inflame the easily prejudiced opinion of America. Reference is made to the departure of the Scripps-Howard colmist-Westerbrook Pegler, from these shores, and his sudden reappearance at Geneva. Mr. Pegler placed himself squarely on record as being highly contemptuous of the gallant stand being made by the Ethiopians to defend their ancient homeland, and stated freely that he thought the invasion by Mussolini was a good thing "for civilization." He cracked jokes at the expense of Haile Selassie's warriors, making much of their "barefoot" parades and "savage" religious ceremonies, despite the fact that the Christian Church recognizes Ethiopia as one of its strongholds. In one of Mr. Pagler's cables to his American papers he remarks: "Whiskers are arriving at the rate of ten bushels per car as the best minds of the world assemble to rebuke Italy's foul intentions toward barefoot Ethiopians." Again, he says: "Mussolini hasn't claimed that Italy has a moral right as an honest nation to Ethiopia. He is honest enough to say merely that Italy that Italy's former partners in crime held out in division. "Mussolini has been tactful as befits the dignity of a great nation. He has given warning of his intention to move in and take his share. Other powers are now bringing great economic pressure to bear on Italy in the form of a boycott and we shall see what we shall see." $S_0$ we have an open upholder of the Mussolini brand of international morality sent abroad to interpret to America the difficult moves toward an African truce and peace. No wonder America is drifting toward Italy's point of view. DR. COMPTON'S FINDINGS Dr. Karl T. Compton, president of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, reports a shortage of "man of standing and ability, technically trained, to fill positions now available." This situation exists despite general unemployment. "We simply do not know where to turn to find men we can unhesitatingly recommend for positions which are brought to our attention daily," Dr. Compton asserts. Of course this report does not refer to the Negro group, but it is well known that there is a shortage of long standing in our field of just the type of men Dr. Compton is looking for. One has but to look over the long lists of applicants for teaching positions and Government "project" work, to note the seriousness of this shortage. Most of our best trained people are seeking jobs with a sure paycheck attached, which denotes at the start lack of self-confidence, which is an absolute essential to doing work really worth while. Few Negroes who have had the privilege of liberal training retain those pioneer qualities which make employers of labor and coordinators of the social forces of the group. In the training process, the student becomes so obsessed with the notion of keeping up his social position that he loses sight of the main point, which is to grasp the fundamentals of how the social system works, and be able through this knowledge, to improve on the social order. Men like these are rare in both the white and Negro groups, yet they are badly needed. What can be done to change this situation? College administrators are working on the problems now. DUBOIS ON THE PRESS In the Golden jubilee number of the New York Age, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois makes some pertinent comments on the Negro press. Says the veteran former Crisis editor: 'In another respect, and that is editorial treatment, I do not tain that the Negro press has progressed. The editors in general have not the broad education and Cathoine outlook which enables them to treat historical and economic subjects with confluence, leadership and clearness; and they do not yet feel the necessity of making editorial assistants who can do sorts of tinging and or giving them at least some leeway and a decent salary. They do pay young businessmen and pay them well to help circulation, but they do not pay their editorial writers as they should.' Much of what Dr. DuBois says is true, but or course there is a reason, and the good doctor noes not give the reason. Perhaps the fact that he could not cope with the depression on his own publication points to the impracticality of some of Dr. DuBois's theories. The Negro press, nor any other business operating for pront, cannot go ahead of its income. Of the income it receives the "realistic" side must first be served. The realistic side is the business side. Editorial workers are important, of course, but no so important as some of them think. It is very easy to get ahead of the public in editorial taste, but not in good business practice. So the business side always must take precedence over the editorial side, if the business is to live. How Bruce and Elizabeth Haynes Were Elected to Tammany NEW YORK (A.N.P.)—For the first time in the history of the "Society of Tammany Hall," Negroes in the persons of Herbert L. Bruce and Elizabeth Ross Haynes will be admitted as executive members and each have an equal vote in the councils of Tammany Hall. Already they have been given a cordial welcome and received as leader and co-leader of the 21st Assembly District by James J. Dooling, leader of Tammany Hall. They will take part in state and national conventions. All of this was made possible by the consolidation of Beavers (a large Negro club) and Ramapo (a mixed club—white and Negro), and the refusal of the county committee to be bought in spite of the needs of the many of them at this time. "We're fightin' for rights now," was the usual saying among them. The leader and co-leader of assembly districts are elected in convention by county committeemen who were elected in the primaries by popular vote. The person most responsible for this consolidation was Attorney Thomas B. Dvett. Amsterdam News Strikers Flayed By Rienzi Lemus By Rienzi B. Lemus Amsterdam News Strikers Flayed By Rienzi Lemus By Rienzi B. Lemus Aside from causing the curious to stop and stare at another "treak" just arrived in most colorful Harlem, the so-called strike of former officials and editorial staff employees of the Amsterdam News, the community's most widely circulated weekly newspaper, is chiefly conspicuous on account of its anomalies, beginning with its cause." The editorial staff joined the Guild. a union of white editorial writers on daily newspapers. The management declined to accord union recognition, and later dropped some of its editorial employees for apparently sound economic reasons, whereupon the editor, managing editor walked out, accompanied by the not dismissed staff men and women, and then organized a protest calculated to either force restoration of the staff in entirety and recognition of their union or destruction of the institution. The former editor is on record to that effect—in print. Perhaps, most anomalous of all was the alignment of the president of the publishing company with the strikers, so that he is now ex-president. The "strike" is conducted by "picketing" the newspaper promises, with torchlighted motorcades dashing through the avenue, and soap-box orating by avowed communists on the street corners. On the picket line doing the passamala back and fourth in front of the Amsterdam News office have been among others loading professional raceologists whose "life lines" is a steady flow of free publicity through the columns of colored newspapers plus donations by capitalistic philanthropists head raceologists uniting with communists, anathema to capitalistic philanthropists, to destroy a genious donor of free publicity. On the day that the U. S-Supreme Court again sealed his doom to 18 years on a Georgia chain-gang, Alonzo Herndon was on picket duty seeking to wipe out a newspaper whose publisher had been most generous in giving Herndon's cause wide publicity looking toward mitigation of his sentence. The former editors of the Amsterdam News are "Harlem intellectuals" and would-be communists or communistic; mostly fraters and sorors, yet they appeal to the newspaper's clientele, neither intellectual, communistic nor "Greek lettered," to fight their battles, even appeal to the masses for money to carry on their fight. "The "strike" is in its third week. The paper is still being issued on Fridays as usual, and about the only comment heard from the populace is folks are sore with the management for advancing the price to 10 cents a copy over the protests of the business staff and on the importance of the same editorial staff now asking the people to force them back on the management.

Hold Second Convention A second convention of county committeemen was held because the first election was contested by the opposition. This second one was called in the beautiful auditorium of Teachers Training School on the heights near City College. To insure impartiality, three of the ablest district leaders from far down town were present. The vote for Bruce and Haynes was 252 (more than the required majority), and 213 for the opposition. The Negro members of the two clubs together with their fellow white members of Ramapo fought valiantly. The desire and aim of the leaders are to help more of the people of the district irrespective of race, creed, color or club, and to build the most powerful Democratic club the district has ever had. Candidates for the assembly alderman are respectively, William T. Andrews and Eustice V. Dench. II Duce, who tells the world he wants only to be a cop, bringing law and order to the Ethiopians, has himself an extensive police recorded in Italy, according to an anti-fasist Italian Aldo Spero, writing in the Chicago Tribune. Here is what the Bureau of Identification in Rome could reveal about the Apostle of Righteousness. April 15, 1904, he was arrested at Geneva for having falsified a passport. July 22, 1908, condemned at Ferli to three months and 200 lire fine for armed threats. September 10, 1908, condemned by the court of Meldola to 100 lire fine for having held a meeting without permit. November 10, 1909, imprisoned for 10 days for not having paid said fine. October 10, 1911, arrested at Ferli following a manifestation against the expedition to Tripoli (Africa.) November 23, 1911, condemned by the tribunal of Ferli to five months in prison for delinquency against public order. This list, obviously, does not include murders of opponents inspired by Mussolini both before and after he hijacked his brother Italians out of the fatherland. ETHIOPIA MUST "BLAME ITSELF FOR ITALIAN "SUCCESS" I have tried with every atom in me; I have done everything but see a doctor and still I register no more than skin deep concern over dark losses in the Italo-Ethiopian fractes.

If black warriors are smashed to smithereens by the highly mechanized fighting slaves shipped from Duceeland, Ethiopia has only itself to blame. Hold Second Convention The World In Review By FRANK M. DAVIS 一 ```markdown ``` For centuries the African empire prided itself on its freedom. It had a flying start to prominence over many a modern Class A power. There was no reason why its long line of "Kings of Kings" could not keep abreast of civilization—in other words, make machines for human destruction on a wholesale scale. But stupid lethargy and the putting off until tomorrow what should have been done yesterday brought Ethiopia down to the very brink of Italian invasion with many guns museums would fight to get airplanes apparently exhumed from a World war graveyard, cannons evidently stolen from confederate courthouse yards in the U. S. no home made munitions, except a few spears, and soldiers who had never seen an automatic rifle. An Ethiopia half way "civilized—and again I mean ready to fight fire with fire—along with its amazing natural defenses, would have made Mussolini as anxious to enter that territory as is a fishing worm to invade an aquarium. If the African nation comes out whole, it should learn a lesson of preparedness lasting until the end of time. . . . T O R. T. M. III. It is your voice deep and sweet Calling all the golden day. That's lending wings to our feet Driving dreary shadows away. Your voice will ring in far parts. But not so distant it seems. That you will not cheer our hearts By singing in all our dreams.

Sing, for your ultimate goal Lies in heavenly melodies. Your song is wine to the soul. AGNES D. BROOKS crane of Harlem (See "ANSWERS/" opposite page) The ... Readers' Corner By C. LESLIE FRAZIER "The Life of Richard Allen In the biographies of Richard Allen we as a rule, look merely for the facts of his early struggle and his efforts to establish the African Metrodist Episcopal Church. On this new treatment by Dr. Charles H. Wesley, however, we have the first definite treatment of this great man's life. As a distinguished leader in the A.M.E Church himself, Dr. Wesley could not neglect the religious force which dominated the life of Richard Allen and the zeal which his pious life inspires, but the author has done more than this task so often attempted by those who have chronicled only the beginnings of the independent religious movement of which Allen was the most important factor. The author performed excellently the task of showing all these things in their relation to men and messages of that day. The work is really Richard Allen and his time. When Richard Allen appeared upon the scene, the American Revolution was in the making. Men were clamoring for the inalienable rights of man to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Among these rights especially desired was that of religious freedom, the right of man to worship as he desired rather than to continue under the domination of a state-controlled religious hierarchy which had no sympathy for the man far down. The author shows that Richard Allen walked in front rank with the evangelical forces mainly Methodists and Baptists, who hammered away at the strongholds of the aristocratic establishments until they won the right to worship as they pleased under their own vine and fig tree. Allen, however, as this book brings out, after helping to win this first battle, had to fight another battle almost single-handed. Those whom he had aided in winning standing ground on which to face the fight for a greater freedom soon began to restrict him in worshipping in their circle. Allen, then, began his second great task in leading the Negroes in an independent movement for a church which would accept all persons without regard to race or color. Yet Allen was not narrow. An independent church meant the beginning of an independent life. Allen believed in interracial cooperation, and no man's career better illustrates how willingly the Negro should work with others for the common good; but he was inalterably opposed to "pro-racial" dictation with segregation in the court of the gentiles outside of the Temple of Jehovah. It was no insignificant manifestation of course that Allen contending against the tremendous odds encountered in the eighteenth century, proclaimed as his platform that higher ground to which the majority of Negroes are afraid to advance today. Allen's task was different for the reason that he met the opposition not only of the whites but that of Negroes, thousands of whom even today remain unsuccessfully under the dictation of their traducers and oppressors. Negroes at that time believed that the white man had the keys to Heaven, and they were afraid to do anything which might cause him to lock them out. Allen had no quarrel with his former Methodist co-workers as to the general principles of religion but he believed that he had just as much common sense as others who had undertaken to interpret the will of God; and this he proposed to do for himself rather than have his oppressors do it for him. Dr. Wesley clearly shows that Allen was ahead of his time; and those who follow the present leadership of the Negro might reflect on his example. There is much in Allen's career to explain why the Negro is today in the bread line and destined to stay there until he learns to think as Allen did when he faced a crisis more trying than that of today. Richard Allen showed the Negro could not gain much by complaining and passing resolutions. Well might we think of the two great contributions which Dr Wesley emphasises in Richard Allen's career. He had an abiding faith in his people in believing that they could do what they themselves believed to be impossible. He demonstrated above all things that if the Negro ever achieves anything he must conceive his own plan and carry it out himself without dictation from others. Such a timely talk of this type, therefore, should find its way to every Negro home. The work should be read also by our white friends, some of whom are really sincere in thinking that they can help Negroes by feeding them afar with a long-handled spoon and telling them which way to turn and what to do.

Wesley, is the first of a series of biographies of distinguished Negroes to be produced by the Associated Publishers Inc., 1538 Ninth Street. Northwest. Washington, D.C.

CLAIMS ITALY IS NOT TO BLAME FOR ETHIOPIAN WAR Christian Endeavor Leader Charges France, England Aided Unrest Declaring that "for years Italy, France and England have been fighting for the valuable lands in Ethiopia, and each one of those nations have been striving to be the first to get into Ethiopia," Miss Francis Sangster, president of the District of Columbia (white) Christian Endeavor Union, stated "that over population in Italy had forced Mussolini to expand his country's possessions." Miss Sangster, continuing her Armistic Day address to the Young Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor of the Third Baptist Church said: "This Armistice Day commemorates the death of that Unkown Soldier who gave his life that we might have Peace. Thousands of us in every land, and members of all races and creeds are making pilgrimages to his tomb. We place flowers there. All of this is mockery. It means nothing. Today our world is filled with wars and rumors of war Youth Hates War "If there is anything youth Hates, it is War. We, as Christian Endeavors, do not want any part of war. We hate war with the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Christian Endeavors are believers in the Kellogg Peace Pact." Ethiopian Situation "For years Italy, France and Italy have been fighting secretly for the exploitation of Ethiopia. They want those valuable undeveloped mineral lands. For years these three great powers have compromised secretly with each other. They have made secret promises. Now Italy is tired of promises She is trying to take what she wants. No one country is to blame for the war in Ethiopia. Several countries must be blamed. They all want possessions in Ethiopia." Other Participants The Armistice Day services of the Third Baptist C. E. Societies were led by Elphonzo W. Freeman. Mrs. Bessie R. Taylor, presided over the meeting. Music was furnished by the Christian Endeavor chorus, directed by William H. Smith, Jr. Other speakers were the Rev. George Oliver Bullock and the Rev. J. C. McLester of Monroe, North Carolina. HARLEM EAGLE'S WINGS CLIPPED BY SELASSIE Col. Hubert Julian Faints When He Receives Emperor's Message ADDIS ABABA, (ANP) — Col Hubert Julian, known as the Black Eagle of Harlem who ballyhooed a New York to Abyssinia flight, prior to the present fracas with Italy and now a member of Emperor Haile Selassie's forces, fainted in the council chamber of the palace. Wednesday, following receipt of a note from the King of Kings Julian who saw service with Selassie at the time of his coronation and was demoted following a crackup of the royal plans, has not been in good standing after returning here several months ago. He was hoping for an audience with the emperor to discuss his contact Arriving at the palace he was given a letter from Selassie, the contents of which were evidently disturbing. After walking up and down and gesturing for some minutes, he broke down immediately and fell unconscious. Revived, Julian sat the some minutes violently sick.

Lynching of Man for "Slapping" White Woman is 15th Since Jan.1 Says White Lynching of Man for "Slapping" White Woman is 15th Since Jan.1 Says White To the Editor: On Tuesday night, November 4, Baxter Bell, a Negro, was lynched at Kingston Springs, Tennessee, charged with "slapping" a white woman. According to the Nashville Tennessean the slapping took place in a Negro drinking place where the white woman was drinking. The lynching of Baxter is the fifteenth since January 1 and the tenth since the filibuster against the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill in the United States Senate succeeded in sidetracking the bill, during the last session of Congress. In addition to these known lynchings, two other Negroes were shot to death in the Gretta Louisiana, jail on November 1. There have been several other killings which will probably be proved to be lynchings after the facts are gathered But leaving these aside and considering for the moment only the ten "proved" lynchings since the filibuster, they present a problem and a challenge to American Negroes which I ask your permission to place before your readers. The forces fighting for passage of the Costigan-Wagner bill succeeded in tying up the Senate for eight straight days. Informed persons in Washington were unanimous in believing that had we been able to hold our lines for a few days longer the filibuster might have been broken. Why weren't we able to hold on a few days longer?

(By Adolph Gereau for ANP) — Congresssman Arthur W. Mitchell of Illinois, visiting here, was guest at a reception given in his honor at Government House of Governor Cramer last week, during which he made a speech which won for him the admiration of the inhabitants of the island. But the speech was unexpected and newspapermen, much to their chargrin, were caught napping. No one took down what the representative said, and later when he was asked for a resume he coolly replied by asking, "Well, what did I say?" Mitchell said his wife and various colleagues in congress had warned him against making speeches, and when he found no one had recorded his remarks he breathed a "Thank God!" "No embarrassments will come to me as a result of what I said," he told reporters. However, Mitchell did laud President Roosevelt and the New Deal before the officers of the marine corps, government officials, legislators, business men and prominent citizens attending the reception. He told the islanders to line up behind the present administration in Washington. Mitchell told his listeners the democratic party had a lot to offer the islands and asked the islanders not to fail to make an effort to help themselves as then the nation would come forward also helping. The Illinois democrat is devoting much time to fishing and so far has been quite successful in his catches. The prize is a monster barricada which he is having prepared to take back with him for exhibition in the United States. Sons of Ethiopian Minister Leave London to Serve. LONDON, Eng. (ANP) — Leaving London, where they have made their home, for the past 11 years, Benjamin and Joseph Martin, sons of Dr. C.

Had there been but $1500 available for such telegraphs we could have held on. Because we did not have fifteen hundred dollars — "just about enough to give modest funerals to the ten persons who have been lynched since the filibuster—these ten have died, and others now living will die at the hands of mobs. It may even be you." The fight will be renewed in the next session of Congress. But unless money is available for printing, postage, telegraph and telephone bills and other necessary expenses, the bill may again be defeated. Do Negro Americans skimpiness of their support?

SANCTIONS FEARED IN EGYPT CAIRO, Egypt, (ANP)—Economic sanctions against Italy are causing concern in Egypt which enjoys a favorable trade balance with Italy. She stands to lose heavily in the event of economic sanctions being imposed. In the list of foreign countries which import Egyptian goods Italy now stands third. Cotton growers are particularly apprehensive, believing that if penalties are imposed the market will never be recovered. They contend they should not take part in sanctions as they are not a league of nations menabes and the dispute between Great Britain and Italy is none of their business. A movement is under way to have Great Britain assure Egypt of adequate compensation for any losses due to boycott of Italy.

These vacancies will be filled in whole or in part as the General Conference sees fit, and no doubt, the field will be surveyed well in an effort to chose those who are best qualified to fill the positions Dr. H. T. Medford, as the sequel will show, is eminently qualified for one of these places. Born in Marion, North Carolina, young Medford received his primary education in the public schools of that commonwealth; and afterwards graduated from Livingstone College, and later from the Hood Theological Seminary of the same institution. Salisbury, N. C. Dr. Medford served thirty years in the ministry of the A. M. E. Zion Church, beginning with small circuits in his native state. For twenty-three years he pastored Moore's Chapel, the college church at Salisbury; Grace Church, Charlotte, N. C. and Jacob's Tabernacle.

Pastored John Wesley His achievements here was the installation of a mammoth pipe organ, a financial system that met a balanced budget and a large increase in membership by his evangelic preaching. His next major appointment was to the John Wesley Church, Washington, D.C. where he found a splendid edifice with an enormous debt. With characteristic business foresight he inaugurated a financial scheme that resulted in a great reduction of the debt and placed the church on a basis where it could be more easily handled by those succeeding him.

And yet—I'd rather be a dog Than the lazy Tom cat Who sleeps around the house all day That he feels out to me Than feel that at the long day's close I'd won n₀ victory. Of course, I'd like to rest awhile No matter what my station But were life only rest and play I'd die of satiation! —Aunt Julie On November 4, of this year, in Rockefeller Center, New York, City, the North American Children's Painting Exhibition was opened, featuring the work of children between the ages of five and thirteen years. ECHOES Dear Editor: There are many different kinds of trees. Most of our furniture comes from trees. If it were not for the trees, many people would not have fire to keep them warm. In the Jungles, the wild cats like to play around in the tree tops. Trees help us to do so many good things. Luther Simms 5A grade, Logan School Dear Editor: I am a dandelion plant. One day someone picked me up and put me in some water and for a while I lived happily. The children used to take me out of the water and put me on their coats and I used to go for long rides. Then, my hair turned white and the wind blew it away. Juanita Settlers 3A grade, Logan School Dear Editor: This is the story of my life. I am a burr. One day a big wind came by, and I got a ride on a boy's shoe. When he got home, I fell off and someone picked me up and threw me out of the house. I grew into a plant and I began to get taller and taller. At last I was taller than every plant in the pretty yard. Then someone pulled me up, and I died. Dear Editor: I am an apple seed I lived in a white ball. Someone ate the white hall, and threw me away. A man picked me up in his hand. Then he took a stick and made a hole in the ground and put me in the hole. Mother Nature gave me sun and rain. I felt glad for a while. The man gave me $n_0$ water. He forgot me. Winter came, and I got cold. So I went to sleep. 3A grade, Logan School Dear Editor: I am a violet seed. I was in a little house. One day something knocked against my warm home. My brothers and I jumped away from our house. We traveled different places. I jumped to a rock. A great wind came up and moved me to the ground. Then I felt happy but after a while, I grew tired, so I went to sleep. When I awoke, I found I was a little violet. Leroy O.

It is not necessary to rename for you those Negroes who have forged ahead. But we do want to remind you that you can do the same. Your race can be a millstone around your neck, or it can be—like the latest Paris gown—worn with dignity. You can get just as far ahead as your faith in your ability will allow you to do. You've got to believe that you are just as capable as the next fellow—and just as good. But faith in yourself is not the whole thing. You've got to be good—twice as good as the average girl or boy who is not a Negro. The achievements of those who have gone ahead only prove to us that being a Negro is not a stumbling block, but an encouragement for us to show the kind of stuff we are made of. ***** We must not forget that November 11 was Armistice Day, and that even we, as children, must do our best to prevent the achievement of our race from being wiped out by horrors of another war.

POET'S CORNER A SEASON'S WELCOME Summer is gone And Nature dons Her lovely coat of brown With flowers broidered down Her graceful golden gown On summer days We used to play In sunshine and flowers. But now we spend odd hours Spinning yarns and building towers. But happiest days Are on their way For though summer is blithe, And Time's long scythe Brings Autumn brown and gray We love no other season more For Christmas is on its way. TO A DEPARTED FRIEND—MY No more to hear the happy bark That once made life so gay. No more to pet the silken head Of one who's gone away. Marian Greenway Cardozo High School THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 12. 1935 BEATRICE M. MURPHY. Editor for the Juveniles. O God, forbear to take away A friend so tired and true, A friend who cheered a gloomy soul Whose cheers were far and few. O Father, up in heaven high Look down upon the earth And soothe these hearts in anguish wrung So sad, devoid of mirth. We loved him as we loved but few, He was our great delight, So playful, jolly, always glad; He made our whole lives bright. He went away as many do In auguish slowly born. A friend in need, a friend indeed Away from us was torn. O God! Forgive them for their sins They know not what they do Who poison dogs who are so dear, With souls so tried and true. But time heals hearts that suffer long And gives them some relief, Yet never can our hearts forget When they are bowed in grief. Forgive us Lord, if we do wrong In cursing mortals here, For mortals all are we who live And mortals all do err. And so farewell, a sad farewell! To woods, and roads, and rills, He's gone beyond all worldly harm, His place can ne'er be filled. William A. Bailey 3229 Sherman Ave. N. W. City We Want A Name Don't forget about our name contest!

"Gimme a nickel to take to school." "Jimmy! How do you ask for things?" "Please" "Please what?" "Please for a nickel" "That's a little better, but not very much. Why do you want a nickel? Don't you take your lunch everyday?" "Sure, but—" Jimmy shifted from one foot to the other. "But I want t_o buy a bundle. All the other children buy bundles." "A bundle? What is a bundle?" "Oh mother, you know—a hot dog sanwich." So mother gave Jimmy a nickel because she didn't want him to feel differently from the other children. But when the man came around at lunch time with his little cart the big boys would rush out first, and Jimmy couldn't get close enough to the man before he was sold out. Every day it would happen this way. For Jimmy was fat, but he was very short, and he didn't have much pushing power. Of course he never asked the big boys to let him through their lines. He didn't want to call attention to the fact that he was there, because he was afraid of them. They liked to tease little boys and make them cry. Every day Jimmy would come home with the money in his pocket, and mother would say "Jimmy, did you get your bundle today?" and Jimmy would say "No, but I'm getting it. I got a little closer today." Jimmy was patient however, and every day when the bell rang, he would clutch the money in his hand and dash out hoping to get there first. Then Jimmy hit upon a happy idea, and one day the big boys heard a little voice speak up right in the front of the kind-faced man who sold the bundles. "Please, mister. I want one of them." The man handed him the precious bundles, and he clutched it to his breast. Just then one of the big boys yelled. "Say how did you get here?" Jimmy was scared—awfully scared. But he didn't dare show it. So he kept on walking until he was out of reach of the big boy, "I crawled between your legs," he answered, and ran as fast as his legs could carry him—but not so fast that he dropped the bundle.

The Tribune, Now Twice Weekly, Tuesday and Friday Activities in the Realm of Women ICE BROKEN BY SCHOOL BOARD APPOINTMENT Following Long Fight, Beatrice Claire Named To Junior High PHILADELPHIA — Beatrice Bradley Claire, of 1906 North Twenty-fourth Street, was appointed an art taeacher at the Mayer-Sulzerger Junior High School, Fairmount Avenue and Forty-seventh Street, recently 1910 MRS. BEATRICE B. CLAIRE Prior to her appointment, she was a grade teacher at the Reynolds School, Twenty-fourth and Jefferson Streets. The appointment of Mrs. Claire culminates a long campaign on the part of the Philadelphia Tribune and several other agencies in an effort to cause the board of education to sanction the appointment of a Negro teacher to a position higher than an elementary school teacher. Their efforts were intensified by the formation of the Educational Equality League by Floyd L. Logan, three years ago. Mrs. Claire is well qualified to fill the position as a junior high school teacher. She is a native of Wilmington, Del., and came to Philadelphia at an early age. She received practically all of her training in the Philadelphia schools. She was graduated from Girls High, and then Philadelphia Normal School. She then completed courses in art at Temple University and the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Arts at Broad and Pine Streets, and in 1912 was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with the degree of bachelor of fine arts. She has attended the summer school at Columbia University, and will soon receive her master's degree from that institution. Mary Strong Talks SPEAK SOFTLY There is magic in a soft-spoken reply. Teddy Roosevelt said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." That was his secret of success. You can win people to you by a soft voice and then you can influence them to do what you will—you can use your big stick. Try this method of handling men and see it work! WISE SAYINGS By A Woman Never do anything you can get someone else to do as well as you would yourself. Have a few books which are as close to you as an intimate friend. When you feel most proud of yourself, it is time to emphasize modesty. Household Hints Always keep a pair of scissors in the kitchen! You will find them most convenient in cutting the centers from grapefruit, trimming the rind from sliced bacon and cutting lettuce, celery, parsley, etc., in pieces for salad and the like. Skins may be more easily removed from potatoes if a narrow strip around the potato is peeled off before putting potatoes in to boil. The handbag, which no one can do without these days, gets very badly treated with the rough, everyday wear it receives. Wipe it over occasionally with a dry cloth, then rub it with a soft polishing cream. It is important to keep the bath and other sponges sweet and clean. A good method is to soak them in clean fresh water into which the juice of a lemon has been squeezed. In buying sponges, remember that the best are the cheapest. To polish oak table tops, wrap a brick in several thicknesses of flannel and with it rub the surface after applying a few drops of linseed oil. Use very little of the oil, but wipe it over the entire surface leaving it fairly dry before beginning to polish. Dr. Gibbs's Death Removes Local Progressive Educator from Scene If you have all the trouble that I have with silk stockings I am sure a few high points you'll want to know about. Runs! Oh what misery and worry they caused! A saleslady has just given me a few hints to prevent runs. They can be caused by our garter straps. If they lose their elasticity it will cause too great a pull on the hose. Shoes worn, with run over heels cause runs...And if you are not careful about getting the seam absolutely straight from the sole of the foot up the back of the leg. The uneven pull will cause the threads to break. And how men hate to see crooked seams! And another, buy stockings wide enough for the width of the foot. And now...Bright tones make the legs look fatter...Neutral shades make the fat legs look thinner. This hint works backwards, too. This saleslady said, "Men really don't now how to buy hosiery." They buy them too light and too pinkish." "What clever gadgets!" I exclaimed as I went rummaging through the household department of a large department store. A bean snapper. I think that's what it's called. This gadget cuts off the strings and slices the beans all at one time. It is said that this amusing device will do all this to one pound of string beans in ten minutes... And then, the pea sheller. Just fasten the gadget to the table, feed the peas in, turn the handle... presto, shelled peas! Just like that... Quick as that They are the most time saving tricks yet and incidentally they will keep the natural moisture of vegetables from staining the fingers. Both are very reasonably priced. Ah, how I enjoyed that pie! Such apple pie I have never tasted. Apple pie, a perennial favorite with men, will just endear you all to their hearts forever and a day. Try this recipe then write and tell me honestly where and when you have tasted better apple pie. Four to six tart and juicy apples; three fourths cup sugar; one teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg (as desired); one tablespoon fine brandy; one teaspoon lemon juice; one tablespoon butter. Line a pan with pie paste and fill with thinly sliced apples. Add the sugar, lemon juice, spice and brandy. Dot with butter. Cover with a top crust, cutting a few slits to allow the steam to escape. Bake ten minutes in a hot oven and reduce heat slightly and bake for thirty minutes more. For your dough, sift the flour and salt and baking powder. Cut the shortening in, adding ice water gradually, until you have a dough that will come from the bowl easily. Chill before using. Chilling makes pie paste richer and flakier. What fun! A kitchen raid! Twenty guests stormed her kitchen after a first night affair. There I found glamour, lure, romance and appetites..At my first kitchen raid. There we found an assortment of bread, sliced bologna, sardines, liverwurst, and boiled ham. The passing of Dr. Mildred E. Gibbs, Saturday, October 26, ends the career of one of Washington's corps of real and progressive teachers who have done such splendid, inspiring, constantly improving work as $t_0$ make this educational system stand the test of ninety-eight years:—1807-1935. A graduate of the Washington high and normal schools, Dr. Gibbs was appointed teacher of a first grade at the Anthony-Bowen School on September 17, 1881. Subsequent assignments to duty carried her to the Stevens, the Miner, the Summer, the Garnet, and the Briggs Schools. As a result of her outstanding merit, Dr. Gibbs was promoted step by step from the first grade to the eighth grade. It was on February 1, 1891, that she was promoted to the eighth grade teaching principalship of the Briggs School. After five years of service at that post, Dr. Gibbs was transferred to the teaching principal. It was while holding this post that in 1901 she graduated from Howard University with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. On September 1, 1904, Dr. Gibbs was transferred to the teaching principalship of the Stevens School. She was elevated to the administrative principalship of that school on March 16, 1920. This position she held continuously until her lamented death. A. Source of Inspiration Dr. Gibbs was an inspiration to all with whom she came in contact.

National Health Project at Lexington, Miss. When A.K.A. women opened a summer school at Lexington. Mississippi, in 1934, their greatest obstacle was the unsanitary condition of the community. Information on sanitation was sadly lacking. Inoculation against diseases which take a great toll of human lives each year was practically unheard of. Knowledge of these horrible conditions led to the inauguration of the sorority's health project in that community in the summer of 1935. Dr. Ferebee Appointed Dr. Boulding Ferebee was given the chairmanship of the Health Committee. She was assisted by sorors trained in the medical profession and in other health fields. Among those who are not members of A.K.A., but who served willingly and creditably were Misses Genevieve Meyloe and Irma Barbour of this city. The public is invited to hear this first hand information gathered on the plantations around Lexington. Motion pictures will reveal the unsanitary conditions, the lack of facilities for normal development, and the steps taken by A.K.A. to help these underprivileged persons.

Place fruit juices in shaker, add other ingredients and cracked ice, leaving enough room for a thor- ough shaking.

DRIVE SECOND SECTION CAPITAL 10,00 BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL 54th Celebration Will Be Marked by Special Program RICHMOND $ ^{17} $ Va. — Dr. John W. Barco, vice-president of Virginia Union University, has recently been made director of the National Ministers' Institute. Dr. William J. Clark, president of Virginia Union, is president of the organization. The National Ministers' Institute's specific purpose is to help the underprivileged Negro minister. Several years ago Dr. Benjamin Brawley, then of Shaw University, made a study of the educational background of the Negro ministers in North Carolina. He found that seventy-five per cent of the ministers, of that sta' had only a grammar school education. These figures are revealing concerning the educational status of Negro ministers, not only in North Carolina, but in the South general. The institute which is fostered through Virginia Union, seeks to rectify this condition. Father Divine and Vote Under "Go Sweet Determination, Gra liness Rest Squabbl Given by NEW YORK.—"I am the Apostle Paul!" a voice boomed to the Board of Elections inspector, Tuesday. "O.K. Paul, you can vote," said the inspector. Thus ended the tong squabble between the Board of Elections and Maj. J. Divine, Harlem "Messiah," who won the right to register 31 followers under their assumed "kingdom" names. With the closing of the registration books after three hours of hickering with Noah Endurance, Sweet Determination, Gracious New Haven and others who held out against the Supreme Court ruling that they give their former names as well as their "kingdom" names, the special registration board found that 25 of the 31 had complied with the Court's decision. The first of Father Divine's fold a view of making it convenient for the law school instructor to make his launts without disrupting the school by carrying along with him half of the student body. HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE? Last week was Homecoming Day for West Virginia State College in Institute, W.Va. They celebrated with a homecoming game played with Bluefield State Teachers College. Guests of honor at this game were eight graduates of that institution who are now students in the Howard Law School who found more interest in watching their Alma Mater play football than in getting their school work in the law school. When it was brought to the attention of this columnist that the students were planning making the trip at the suggestion of the dean of the law school and one of the instructors, it was hard to believe, despite the fact that the excuse given for the wholesale crusade was "advertising for the school." It is difficult to see wherein the school can benefit from such advertisement; and even if it were an advertising scheme, it does not seem that it was necessary for eight students to make the trip and one instructor. The trip was not financed by the school and it was not financed by the students making the trip. Just where the money for the trip came from, is still an unsolved mystery. Besides the unnecessary expense for making such a trip under guise of an advertising adventure, the argument is advanced by some of the students that it was unfair to send West Virginia students to their homecoming game, and not send other students to games at their alma mater. Interfered With In addition thereto, the class work at the law school was seriously disrupted by the action. The students in legal bibliography went to their class as scheduled to learn that the instructor, Bernard S. Jefferson, had deserted the class to attend the game, and had left a lengthy examination as a substitute for his teachings. Angry because they had to undergo such an examination while other members of their class were vacationing in West Virginia, together with their instructor, the students walked out of the class, refused to take the examination, and were given a zero for so doing. Those who went to West Virginia State College to see the game were given the examination when they returned. The joke of the entire matter can best be summed up in stating that the instructor who carried the students away in his car is the same professor who told students in his classes last year that they couldn't get his work and attend football games at Howard University, which is right here in Washington. Another joke is in the fact that Jefferson is the youngest member of the law school faculty, in point of age and in point of service, and yet was selected to visit the school and attempt to sell that to the West Virginia students which he knew very little about. Poor Method to Sell Harvard Having himself finished his law course a little more than a year ago, and having served on the law school faculty only one year, Jefferson knows very little about law or the Howard Law School; and therefore was the worse instructor that could have been selected to advertise the school. Of course, everyone understands that advertising was not the real venture, because common sense would tell anyone that the best time to talk to students about a school is when their nerves and minds are settled, and not on the occasion of a big homecoming football game, when all students at the school want to hear is football. This episode is further evidence to substantiate my statement carried in this column several weeks ago that Jefferson is still too close to his high school and college days to be an instructor of law. Such an idea as the wholesale transportation of students from a professional school to witness a football game in another institution could not have originated in the mind of William E. Taylor, the now acting dean; but no credit can be given him for sanctioning such a scheme. I Still Thief. He's a Rubber Stamp As suggested before in this column, Bernard S. Jefferson has served the purpose for which he was brought to the law school—to serve as a rubber stamp for Charles H. Houston, now retired by the board of trustees. Jefferson served in that capacity faithfully and well. He has done his task; his work is done. His only interest now seems to lie in football games, and so he journeyed to West Virginia State College and took several students along with him to satisfy that interest. These facts may never get to the board of trustees, but if they should, there is no doubt that the action they will take will be with A RIGHT TO LIVE AS MEN, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.

Professor Says Lack of Education for Business Cause of Poor Success In Field; Hits Segregation Emphasizing the lack of development on the part of the Negro in the field of business, Dr. Charles H. Wesley, head of the Department of History, Howard University, delivered the keynote address of National Negro Achievement Weck, sponsored by the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Sunday morning. Dr. Wesley took as his subject, "Facing New Frontiers in American Life." His text was "Three remaineth vet, very much land to be possessed." Charging that the "economic life of the Negro has lagged behind the procession," and that there is little evidence that the Negro is a part of the economic life of this country, Dr. Wesley outlined the causes for this malady in three points: 1. Lack of education for business, lack of background and limited resources. 2. Lack of cooperation and support on the part of the Negro. 3. Lack of encouragement of young Negroes to go into the business field. That Negroes fail to patronize business that is conducted by members of their race is not due solely to the fact that some establishments conducted by other racial groups have cheaper products a greater variety, and courteous salesmen, the speaker said, contending that where business of the Negro race operates on an equal footing with that of other racial groups, there is a lack of patronage. d HeavenlyCrew d Given Names" icious New Heaven, Love- le to Use Monikers "Messiah" to appear before the Board was Lazarus Faithful who turned out to be Mary Thomas 32 Next in line was Loveliness Rest who raised such a clamor over her right to sign the name assigned her by Father Divine that she set off the assembled Negroes, who chanted in unison: "We're going to use the names God Almighty gave us. We're going to use the names God Almighty gave us." After successfully quieting the incorrigibles the Chief Inspector succeeded in finding that Noah Endurance really was Ella Palmer; Sweet Determination was Susie Brown. Quiet prevailed in the Board's office for only a short period. A one woman, wearing large comper-colored earrings and a smartly cut purple dress pranced into the office and declared her name to the Priscilla Paul. To the query as to what her correct name was, Father Divine's austere retorted: "If you think I have any other name, dig it up."

Abbott, Southside editor, and John P. Hard ing, president of the commission—(ANP Photo.) The historian and church leader urged his hearers to "buy from those whom we are forced to live with, for we are segregated, not by choice but by force." Dr. Wesley took a slap at those who are insured in insurance companies of other racial groups, and who have white collectors coming to their doors "who take our money in one instance and insult our wives in the next." Support of Negro newspapers, insurance companies, banks, and all other business was urged by the speaker. Dr. Wesley lauded the progress the race has made in the cultural, religious and educational life of the country, and asserted that if the Negro is to perform a part in the American life he must link together and pull for a success in the business and economic life of the country. "Big business must be planned in the minds early, and then those thoughts must be transposed into a reality," he said. Dr. Wesley was speaking under the auspices of Alpha Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, which is sponsoring the achievement project, locally. Seats for members of the fraternity and business men were reserved at the church. Special music was rendered by the church choir. Sunday afternoon the fraternity was host to the business men and women at the fraternity house, 1913 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, in a reception. Jesse H. Mitchell, president of the industrial Bank of Washington, was the speaker. $15,000 IS GOAL IN CHEST DRIVE AOMNG NEGROES An effort to raise $15,000 for the Community Chest of Washington was launched Friday night at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., when the Community Chest Committee, headed by Colonel West A Hamilton, held its opening banquet. The committee heard Elwood Street, director of public welfare informed them that within a few days all Government funds for relief work will be halted as the funds will have been exhausted, and that needly persons would have to depend solely on the sixty-five relief agencies in the District for their support. The relief agencies receive most of their funds from allotments made by the Community Chest. Street, who organized the Community Chest in Washington several years ago, and who served as its first director, paid a glowing tribute to the committee for the manner in which they have supported him in the past, and urged their full support to Herbert Willett, white, the present director. While he did not know the exact percentage of Negroes who would have to draw from the private agencies the welfare director estimated that three fourths of those now on relief would be dependent on the agencies for sustenance. Other remarks were made by Willett, Dr. William McClellan, chairman of the Washington Chest, and by P. L. Dodge, president of the Washington Community Chest.

FLOPS Demonstration Turns Out to Be Between R.O.T.C. and "Peace" Crusaders The war against war, scheduled to take place at Howard University last Friday, turned out to be a war between anti-war students and the R.O.T.C. unit at the university on the one hand, and a faction of the faculty on the other. Early attempts on the part of Willjam B. West, dean of men, and E. P. Davis, dean of the college of Liberal Arts to forestall a demonstration by the students, petered out when another faction of the faculty intervened in behalf of the striking students. 150 in Demonstration Promptly at 11 o'clock, students from George Washington University, who were barred from holding a demonstration on their campus, and students from American University, joined, with the students at Howard University in holding a demonstration participated in by approximately 150 students. The crowd gathered in front of Douglass Memorial Hall, and marched to the gymnasium, carrying banners with appropriate slogans. In the gymnasium they were heckled so much by members of the R.O.T.C. unit that the anti-warriors threatened several times to expell them from the meeting. Speeches were made by Margaret Stevenson white. American University student, who brought greetings from her fellow students. Pearl Walker, Howard University; Walter Ellis, white, a member of the National Student League executive committee, and Lionel Florant. Howard Liberal Club member, spoke on several phases of war, and its evils. Gilbert Roland, student in the Howard University School of Religion urged his audience to continue spreading the sentiment of peace, and denounced the "damnable institution of war." Olympic Games Barred William Goodykoontz, white, of George Washington University, said the peace demonstration had been banned by his school's administration at the last minute, and added that 700 George Washington students had signed petitions against war. Three resolutions were passed by the group calling for a national peace conference; reinstitution of three Michigan University students, ejected after the April strike of last year, and denunciation of the Nazi government, coupled with a request that the United States send no delegation to the Olympic Games.
