SEEK DOCTOR IN YOUNG NURSE'S DEATH Prea Preacher Fired; Sues Church FOUR HELD IN EQUAL RIGHTS LAW Restaurant Employees Face Jail for Failure To Serve Negroes PHILADELPHIA—Four restaurant employees were held in bail for court, last Thursday, in what will be the first test of the recently enacted "Equal Rights Law" They were held by Magistrate Edward W. Henry, who from time to time during the hearing held in his office, bitterly excoriated the management and employees of the center city restaurants that had either refused services through subterfuge, or had served food impossible to eat. Held on $500 bail each were J.F. Vollmer, manager, and Miss velyn Palmer, waitress, at Stouffer's Restaurant. Broad and Locust Streets, and Daniel Hare, manager, and Miss Jean Anders, hostess., at a Horn and Hardart restaurant at 16th and Chestnut Streets. Prosecutors in the action were Miss Mamie Davis executive secretary of the Southwest Branch W. Y. W. C. A. 1605 Catherine street, Mrs. Ruth Conyers Jones, 756 S. 16th street, a secretary at the Y. W. C. A., and J. Robert Smith, local representative of an out-of-town newspaper. They prosecuted the management of Stoffers, alleging that food was served them so heavily salted that it was impossible to eat it. "The salt of human kindness." Magistrate Henry caustically observed. Witnesses for Miss Davis and Mrs. Jones were Miss Mary Samson and Mrs. Edith Day, executive secretaries of Y. W. C. A. activities in the Philadelphia area. Both women testified that they had accompanied Miss Davis to Steuffer's Restaurant. They testified that the food served Miss Davis was "covered with salt and unfit to eat." The British crown is safe as long as there is a royal wedding every little while to take people's minds off their troubles.

Washington has a part to play. First in brains and culture, perhaps, it should be first in business; and none can make it so but your buying from your own dealers and your friends in business. Washington has been protected during the depression by the steady flow of money from Federal expenditures; hence the books of the business men should show beneficial effects of that spending. The buyers need to Buy Now, and the business men need to get their books in order to show the number of employees, the capital investment, the sales and indebtedness. There is no fear of revealing business secrets because the figures will not be published where only a single business is engaged and could be identified. Business is classified by groups, such as foods, automotive industries, furniture, dry goods and notions, drugs, jewelry, etc., etc. Hence, any individual business will be covered by the group figures. Now is the time to make your boasts of what the Negro ought to do, has done and can do, show in figures collected by fair and impartial agents. It is a Federal order and must be obeyed. Our part is to turn it into good account, thus opening the eyes of the world to our buying power and opening doors to our youth for employment. Let your pride show itself now—in action. VOL.

Triumphant Mind Seen As Solution to Racial Problems by Hancock Virginia Union Dean Says Ethiopian-Italo War Is Racial War Consequence BLACK MAN SHALL NOT PASS IS SLOGAN Thompkins, McGuire and Pierce Get Awards for Business Attainments Charging that the nations of the world have adopted a slogan that "The Black Man Shall Not Pass," Dr. Gordon B. Hancock, dean of Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va., urged an audience that braved Sunday's rain to attend a mass meeting in Andrew Rankin Chapel to keep their courage and develop a "triumphant mind," as a means of bringing forth a "brighter tomorrow." Dean Hancock, who was addressing a mass meeting as a climax to National Negro Achievement Week, sponsored by the Alpha Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, declared that the Ethiopian-Itao war was a race war, and that Mussolini has declared that the black man shall not pass. Compliment to Race "The highest compliment that can be paid to the Negro," the speaker said "is the fact that a number of laws have been enacted to keep him form doing things. It is significant that it hasn't been necessary to enact any laws to make him do anything." Urging his audience to develop a triumphant mind — the highest development, — Dr. Hancock said that such a miril can only be developed through triumphant thinking — thinking in terms of ultimates — and in terms of quality. The Golden Rule was set up as the yardstick by which all achievement and progress of any race should be measured. The progress of the Negro race, the speaker said, must be measured by the same yardstick: Negro Pride of Race Picturing the Negro as a "tug- boat towing the Leviathan into the harbor," Dr. Hancock urged his listeners to follow the precedent established by their ancestors—"pride in being black." "The Negro today doesn't believe as did his forefathers that to be black is honorable," the speaker said, they are not the lovers of the race that their ancestors were," he maintained. Belford V. Lawson, Jr., local attorney, and president of the Council of Fraternities and Sororities, presented certificates of merit on behalf of Alpha Chapter, to Anthony Hugh Piece, manager and co-owner of the University Grill; Dr. Robert Grayson McGuire, president of the McGuire Funeral Home, Inc. and Dr. William James (See Dr. HANCOCK, Page 2) Counterfeiter Attorney F.

Tyree Sues To Compel Church to Restore Membership Complaint against the display of photographs of colored prisoners at the District jail and none of white prisoners at the same institution, was made to the District Commissioners this week by A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. In a letter to Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen, president of the board, Pinkett pointed out that three of the photographs on display in the District Building show colored prisoners while none of them show white prisoners. "We do not want to appear thin skinned" in this matter, but unless there are no white prisoners in the District jail we submit that the fair thing to do would be to display at least one photograph of white prisoners," Pinkett wrote. The display at the District Building is said to be an effort to depict the needs of added facilities at the jail. There are several photographs in the display showing white persons, but in no case is there anything to suggest that they are prisoners.

Tyree, 1324 First Street, Northwest, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church, and former pastor of the Rebohoth Baptist Church, this week, filed a petition for the issuance of a rule to show cause why the church he formerly pastored should not be restrained from molesting him and ordered to restore him to its membership. The petition, filed through the pastor's attorney, George A. Parker, dean of the Terrell Law School, sets forth that on November 9, 1924, the official board of the church, comprising the trustees and deacons, expelled him from the position as pastor of the church and cancelled his membership with the Rebohoth Baptist Church. Claims Violation According to the Rev. Mr. Tyree, the procedure adopted by the church was in violation of the rules and regulations by which the church is governed. The church is governed by the rules as set forth in Hiscox's "Th. New Directory for Baptist Churches," which provides that when a person is tried by the church, that person should have an opportunity to vindicate himself, to demand that names of the accusers be furnished him, and that they be brought before him to make the charges, and that copies of all charges against him be given him in writing. The Rev. Mr. Tyree contends. The pastor further sets forth in his petition that none of the above rules and regulations were compiled with, and that a letter of dismissal requested by him October 8, 1934, was also refuses him. (See REV. TYREE. Page 3) CONTRIBUTIONS OF TUSKEGEE FOUNDER TOLD OVER RADIO ATLANTA, Ga. (ANP) Speaking from Atlanta, over the Columbia Broadcasting System, as the principal speaker on the Education Week program, Dr. Frederick D Patterson, president of Tuskegee Institute outlined the contributions of Booker T. Washington, founder of the famous school not only to the education of the Negro but to the advancement of education throughout the world. Dr. Patterson explained how the idea of the late Dr. Washington of "learning by doing" had attracted educators from all parts of the world, and how this idea, as well as the value of industrial training, had been inculcated in the curricula of schools throughout this country as well as many foreign countries, including Africa China, Japan and countries of South America. Othe- features on the program included music by the Tuskegee choir under the direction of William L. Daweon, and addresses by the United States commissioner of education, Dr. John W. Studebaker, and Dr. Ambrose Caliier, senior specialist in the education of the Negro, United States Office of Education, who was master of ceremonies. A native Norfolk, Va. boy, who lost both legs under the wheels of a train, when he was eight years of age, and who two years later, through a campaign sponsored by the Journal and Guide was furnished cork legs and sent by the Kings Daughters Hospital to Richmond, the funds raised having been turned over to that institution where after months of training under an expert bone specialist the artificial appendages were adjusted and he was taught to use them. He was graduated from the DeWitt Clinton High School, New York City, in June, and is now pursuing his college degree at the College of the City of New York. 12 RECEIVE PROMOTIONS AT G. P. O.

DISTRICT HEALTH DEPARTMENT Tuberculosis Case-Finding Project Application for Free X-ray CHARGE OF HOMICIDE TO BE LODGED Autopsy Reveals Freedmen's Nurse, 21, Died From Septic Poisoning Unknown hands which reputedly performed an illegal operation on a senior nurse in the Freedmen's Hospital training school, from which the latter developed sceptic poisoning and died, are being sought by local police. The nurse Miss F'orence Bailey, 21, Roxboro, Philadelphia, Pa., died at the hospital Friday morning. A coroner's jury inquiring into the cause of her death reported she died from the effects of an illegal operation. The individual thought responsible was not known. An autopsy revealed the young woman had died from sceptic poisoning. Doctor Believed at Hospital According to general belief Miss Bailey was treated by a physician connected with the staff at Freedmen's. Only she and the doctor are said to have known his identity the Tribune was told by an authoritative source. The operation is said to have been performed on November 3. She had been ill since November 6. James Harvey Joyce, 400 block Third Street, Northeast, testified before the investigating jury that he had given Miss Bailey the money with which she was to pay for the medical service. He told the jury he did not know who the doctor was. School Teacher Testifies Miss Susan Holton, a school teacher was also called upon to testify. Miss Holton, it was observed, had no connection with the case. She is said to have introduced the young man and Miss Bailey. But other than that she was cleared of any knowledge or connection. Miss Holton did, however, admit that she was present at the time the money was passed from Joyce to the young nurse. Funeral services for Miss Bailey were held this afternoon (Tuesday) from her home in Roxboro a suburb of Philadelphia. Teacher Recovering From Bites by Girl Student Miss Lydia Brown, Cardozo High School teacher, who was bitten by a pupil last week, is convalescing at her home in the 1700 block of S Street, Northwest. Freedmen's Hospital physicians operated on the teacher's left arm last week. It was thought at first that the arm would have to be amputated. She was discharged from the hospital last week when doctors announced that she was out of danger. Miss Brown was bitten by Lois Evelyn Madden, a student, when the teacher attempted to take a note from the girl. Her arm and hand were badly lacerated.

He meets hundreds of people in their varying moods; he learns that beneath many an unprepossessing exterior lies a warm and sympathetic heart; he learns that he must be cheerful under all circumstances; he learns that his success is based on service; and as he learns he also earns, not only in dollars and cents, but in friendship, health and happiness. The purpose of the TRIBUNE NEWSBOY ORGANIZATION is to give Service in both soliciting and delivering. Through that service makes more sales. There is perhaps no greater opportunity for your boy to secure business training than that offered by the Tribune Newsboy Organization. Here he receives a training in the requirements essential to success in any business; he develops good habits, responsibility and hard work. What every boy needs is early business opportunities.

TOWNSEND, Jr. Many forms of headaches you feel may be related to various forms of sinus infection. When there is headache as result of infection of the sinuses, the pain is due to simulation of the branches of certain nerves. Two types of pain are frequently associated with sinus disease—the neuralgic pain and the constant pain more or less localized in the region of the diseased sinus. The neuralgic pain comes on usually in the morning, but gradually disappears by early afternoon. The constant pain is due to involvement of the membranes which line the wall of the sinus. The headache associated with chronic sinusitis is diffuse and brings with it a feeling of dullness and heaviness as well as inability BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPIT to concentrate. Because of the congestion in the sinus, this pain may be intensified by sudden jars, stooping, severe mental or physical effort, loss of sleep, constipation, or overeating. When the infection is in the maxillary sinuses in the cheeks, the teeth may feel tender, elongated and the pain usually is increased by coughing, sneezing, or stooping. If the pain is in the frontal sinuses, which are above the nose, headache is the most prominent and constant symptom. There are other sinuses, such as the enthoid and the shenpoen, which lie deep behind the nose and which involve more difficult diagnosis for infection. There are, finally, cases in which there may be actual changes in the brain itself. These, however, are exceedingly rare, and much Boys NTEST IZES ember 20th eatest rap Watches 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 CENTRAL 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 adio om!

The Voice of Alexandria By EDDIE NEWMAN I COVER AMATEUR NITE Hello Everyone ... This is your home-town reporter bringing you the very 'latest' once more. FLASH Hello Everyone ... This is your home newspaper reporter bringing you the very latest once more... FLASH ...Wednesday nite and here we are sitting on the front row for the first big amateur nite of the Winter season... From all the nooks and corners of Alexandria, Mr. Dove the local manager has located someone with a little talent that he or she would like to produce on the hometown stage... He offers four prizes and the first one to take a shot at the bait is one Miss Mary Gunthorp. This young ladys steps up to the mike with plenty of nerve... And that's what it takes to succeed on any stage... Well she gets through the number without being booed off, did fairly well and up steps the booming voice of Leon Baltimore the master of ceremonies for the occasion and announces the next number... Francis Euell steps out and proceeded to Truck or what have you... To this we will say the big pink bow on her head was the most outstanding thing for the number. It begins to look bad for the amateurs. Out steps Gertie Lee Simms featuring "You See What Careless Love Can Do"... Clang goes the gong and one dead amateur is taken off the stage. Didn't seem to get her notes right or something of the sore. Out praises Rosa Euell with the attitude that no crowd could beat her down... The crowd didn't and she did very well... Next is a lad who thinks he is the best tap dancer around the city. Paging Bobbie Strange. They never hooked him off but the crowd killed him with their bronx cheers. Boos and everything... And now we hear the M.C. getting all tangled up, Leon Baltimore... At this point he also resembles an amateur. However all amateurs improve some day... And so, we might alow for the gentleman... Nuf sed... Out steps a duet this time and goes down swinging... And it really looks bad for the simon pures... (Amateurs)... Well the evening is somewhat saved when Miss Carline Perry steps out and gives her version of Night Winds. Incidentally she is attired in a long green satin gown or what have you. We take it for granted that this is the height of fashion for an amateur nite. Next comes a very little lad, Clifton Johnson. He makes fairly good and stems aside for Robert Jones a small lad who really deserves an orchid for his swell version of "Lula's Back In Town". That is really a hard number to sing for so little a lad. Next we have Mable Hastings, who is allowed by the fans to remain on the stage for her number. She did fairly well too. The amateurs are getting better...Next Miss Catherine Roberts is called out. At least her name is, for this dear little jess has suddenly received a case of cold feet and is sitting in the crowd...We skip her and glance back at the stage in time to see Bernard Jones do a Bill Robertson number...He is allowed to remain through his act...Introducing Helen Gledly, who begins to sing an Al Jolson song, "The Sars Are Going To Twinkle and Shine"...And Clang again goes the gong and another amateur is shot...Miss M. Thomas sings one more number and the show comes to and end...And the WINNER is little Robert Jones and the three dollars in cash is his. He clutches this and goes off...The next winners are Freddie Johnson, Clifton Johnson and Robert Strange...Incidentally again the Johnson boys are brothers of the famous "Lemetta" Mr. Dove's well known songbird...They say all of this crowd can sing even Miss Hilda Johnson, but she seems to prefer to sing to Buddie Evans, and so, we lose a stage star. In 'leaving this amateur nite we will' say that it is really interesting and exciting to see these kiddies attempt to get Mr. Dove's first prize. They really give all they have got and deserve plenty of praise for their efforts. Also the fense close by got a ollumne of this amateur scribe annoying everyone trying to get the names of the com- Mrs. Annie Mae Wilson has returned to her home in Washington after a week's stay with her parents, the Rev. and Mrs. W. L. Curry, of 910 Saint Paul Street. Miss Annie Hamlinton, of 1007 St. Peter Street, is improved after being confined to her bed for several days with a cold. The Good Will Baptist Church is offering special courses in domestic science and social hygiene at its center, located at 407 W. Clay Street. The Rev. W. B. Ball is director of the center. Joe Jackson and John Shell, accused of the murder of John Thomas Coleman and his wife, in Spotsylvania County last spring, lost their writ of error granted to them by the supreme court here. It was stated that the dismissal of the writ was on the ground of negligence and that no motion for a new trial was made until on the day the trial began. The date of their execution will be given later. testants straight... Boos and gong to him for that... And orchids to the man who gives these kiddies a chance to show themselves... Mr. Dove is that chap...In case you don't know him so well we might add that he is a graduate of Armstrong High School, he is not very old and has been in the theatre game for nine years... A short talk with him brought out these facts and also that he likes to work on the stage with the scenery, lights and other stage properties... He says it's tough racket and advising anyone to go into the business unless he has the ambition to stick... This youngster is really doing great work in your Capitol show house... All of the designs around the walks and stage are planned by him...To insure the success of the local house it is our opinion that the hometowners should try to support the efforts of the manager by coming out to $t_0$ see the shows offered. And now as we leave the rest to you we travel on to the big social event of the week...It is a birthday party in honor of John Staunton, former captain of Dunbarton's eleventh...The place of action is at the home of Buddie Ford, an active member on the team now. We don't know just what happened but only four members of the feminine group put in their appearance...Two of these were teamed up with the boy friends. Namely, Miss Mary Hancock with the (handsome?) Ralph Lane...And of course we must not leave out Master Ford and Lauretta. We place John Staunton and Maylon in a class by themselves. Because that's the way they stayed the whole evening We believe one or two of the many lad$_{3}$ present did manage to secure one dance with the lady in question...And as$_{4}$ for poor Rainb, well the boys seemed to get a big kick out of dancing with Mary, and so you can guess what kind of evening he spent...Nuf sed...We will add that the chap went away at the close just a little down-hearted...Now isn't that too bad?...The food was very good, for proof you can ask Mr. Robert Day, who pulled up a chair and made himself at home...Also enough said. Miss Hilda Johnson didn't cars to dine with the crowd. Perhaps she was too busily thinking over her heart throb Mr. Buddie Evans, a lad already mentioned somewhere in this sed column. At least that's Mr. William Wilson's opinion of my writings after last Tuesday . . . Haw! . . . And now for further Alexandria news bits of interest, don't fail to read the column entitled "Alexandria at Random" by John Staunton, of the corner drug store. His witty savings will be found in the Thursday edit one of The Washington Tribune. . . This writer will remain in Friday's edition, on sale at all Alexandria substations. . .

We walked to the Union Station and took the Navy Yard car, transferred to a Rosslyn car, and rode until we got to the Arlington Cemetery. When we arrived at the Arlington cemetery, we saw the memorial to the soldiers lost on the Battleship Maine. At the Amphitheater we saw many Tags because Monday was to be Armistice Day. We looked at the aquarium of gold and black fish. Then we visited the Unknown Soldier's Tomb. I liked the trip very much because I had a nice ride there and back. Pauline Washington. 3A Grade.

The big gray rat had some cheese which the little gray mouse wanted. So while the big gray rat was away from home the little gray mouse stole the cheese and took it home. When the big gray rat came home he asked, "Where is my cheese?" And he thought and thought, "I know," he said, "the little gray mouse has my cheese." So he got very angry with the little gray mouse. "I'm going after him. If he's eaten my cheese, I'll beat him up." So he went to the house of the little gray mouse and knocked on he door. When the door was opened the big gray rat saw the cheese on the table and ran into the little gray mouse's house and grabbed the cheese and ran out. The little gray mouse ran after him, but as he was going out, the door slammed shut and his tail got caught in it. "Let me out Let me out," he cried. But the big gray rat said, "Ha, ha, ha! that's what you get. If you promise not to steal my cheese any more, I'll let you out." "I promise, Mr. Pat." "All right, Mr. Mouse." So the big gray rat let the little gray mouse out and he never stole house again. Howard Brown 6 years, Logan School FUNSTERS Teacher: "Why are you two late 10am school this afternoon?

Eating, is a habit. Acquire it early and you will do without it. Eramus said "When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes." Your editor cannot wholly agree with Eramus for one must maintain the breath of life in order to read books. But we do think that the girl or boy who does not develop a love of good reading, and to whom good books are not important enough for him to want to sacrifice a few other things to buy them, has certainly missed something very vital in this business of living: "White yacinths to feed the soul" are as necessary as bread to feed the body, Mental, physical, and spiritual strength are all acquired the same way—by nourishment. If you want to grow into one of those human beings who are wholly dependent on the society of your fellow-man for inspiration and companionship, then choose for yourself some friends among the books, and you will never be lonely or left out. If you cannot buy them, you can get them from the library. If you can afford only a few, then choose them wisely, and on the basis of whether or not you will still find them interesting and helpful reading after the third or fourth perusal...choose them on the basis of whether they were worth going without something else in order to obtain them. Reading, like eating, is a habit. Acquire it early and you will never be able to do without it. Our Own Crossword Puzzle DOWN eat 1. Human 12 Everything 2. Preposition 14 Dogs and cats have them. 4.

Emergency Call Crowded streets, horns tooting, beclam, people getting across streets, and then — through chill morning air comes a long uncarthly wall. It is the siren of an ambulance. Many unconsciously shivered at the sound. The ambulance speeded along careening around corners madly, answering a call which might or might not be a matter of life and death with speed holding the balance In a little house across town a little heart was simply pounding so great was the anxiety under which it labored. A few minutes before a little girl and her baby sister had been playing with their pet kitten when a terrible accident had occurred. The elder one immediately removed the telephone receiver, and Central had plugged in to hear an excited voice calling fratically for a doctor, a nurse, an ambulance — and, "Please make them hurry before she dies." Interrupting the stream of pleas, Central' asked for the address and after receiving it, promised to send an ambulance at once. When the ambulance arrived at 'he address to which it had been hurriedly summoned, a little white face could be seen at an upstairs window peering anxiously out. Before the doctor could swing off the ambulance and get to the door, it had been hurriedly thrown open and a little girl was 'solemly standing wide-eyed. She turned and beckoned him up the stairs, and he followed, turning into the front bedroom. The doctor rushed to the bed, opening his bag on the way. Then he stopped in amazement. Turning to the little girl in exasperation, he asked, "What is this? Where are your parents? Who sent for us?" Before she could answer, a man and woman rushed into the room very excited, and demanding 'What has happened? Where are my babies?' The doctor answered, "We got an ambulance call to come at once." The little girl interrupted. "I called an mommy, because Jean was playing with my kitty when she fell down and hurt kitty's leg. I wanted the doctor to make kitty well, again like he did me when I hurt my arm." She began to cry. "Doctor, please give my kitty some medicine." So the doctor smiled and handed up the kitty's leg and then climbed on the ambulance to answer another call. And the driver of the ambulance still doesn't know why the doctor, remarked when he came out of the house. "Patients are getty fuzzy?" Or did he really mean fussy? Candida K.

Co-ed Writes Appreciation For Attitude of School Towards Culture Ruth Blackshear, a student at Virginia State College, is so appreciative of the gesture towards moral culture made at her alma mater that she sent the following letter to the school paper stating that: "I am indeed elated to hear the singing of the grace in the dining hall once more. I think it is an extremely essential feature of any college. Truly, this feature, a reviewed production of our new Student Government Council, is a step toward cultural achievement. "We as college students seem to face and solve ingenuously all the varied and difficult questions that come about as a result of college life, save that of building up a profound sense of culture, which will enable us to appreciate more fully our fellow students, faculty meme the community at large, and in fact modern civilization. "Culture is indeed what we are I think, in the final analysis a truly educated man or woman is certainly one of culture and refinement. The student should cooperate in every way possible to sustain this phase of our college activity life as the values to be gotten are far reaching and lasting. "Then too, we as a student body should give tribute to Prof L. P. Jackson, who for a number of years was the sole instigator responsible for reviewing the much needed feature."

She should wash her hands, use a good hand lotion which she should keep in her desk cleanse her face and renew her makeup After a quiet luncheon, if her work is sedentary, she should get a bit of exercises and fresh air. Even merely walking in the open is refreshing. If her work is active, she should try to relax for a while. The business girl should not try to work all day and play all night. It simply can't be done, for the mind and body demand a fair amount of rest and relaxation if they are to function properly. The business girl should budget her dates so that she need not be deprived of the sleep she needs. And she, too should save some evenings for those special maniures, shamuos, facials and other beauty treatments that will do so much to preserve and enhance her freshness and youthful charm.

By M. Elizabeth Moore This fall witnessed an outstanding increase in the enrollment of colleges throughout the United States. The question has been asked by some of our formost educators. "Are too many students attending college?" Whether or not this condition is true depends upon what benefit the student expects to receive from having a college education. Since unemployment is not a tempo ary matter, there is less use for the services of young people. To some, colleges exists to keep boys and girls off the streets. But colleges can serve a much nec ed purpose—fitting young people for Everyone is not born with an through a college aureum, you may improve him intellectually and culturally. He may make his community a finer place in which to live through inspiration gained while a student in college. Our race has a particular need for great leaders. Our colleges can do much in training and developing these persons. Everyone can not be a leader and with the growing enrollment, it is obvious that only a small per cent of us will become leaders. But by raising the level of enlightenment and understanding of the average men and women the colleges are helping to raise the intellectual status of the race. The increased enrollment of colleges and universities has resulted from the changes in the conditions of American life. Colleges should train young people for the work they are best fitted to do. The world needs educated people, if we are to live together successfully. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL lengthwise and scoop out centers.

Political Economy Carrying trade is a phrase used in political economy and also in commercial transactions. It usually refers to the commerce of different countries with each other. Conducted By Gertrude C. Frazier Chatting with ARDEN H. DUANE (A.N.P.) Suppose we "chat" about the spicy allurement of canapes and the tempting ensembles of Hors D' Oeuvres. These fine delicacies will add jest and piquancy to any pre dinner cocktail and buffet supper. The woman of the house should keep a pantry shelf. well stocked with a small variety of tinned and glassed foods. Never you mind about the expensive articles. The inexpensive foods purchased at the corner grocery store will turn the trick. With extra pains and a knack of experimenting with new recipes. Your assortment of goody-goodies will surely prove a special and an unusual appetizer. Canapes should be small in size. If you prefer white or brown bread to crackers it should be cut to cracker size. If toast is used in place of crackers for canapes fry them in olive oil...The result is surprisingly pleasant. And potato chips can be another source of real enjoyment and diversity. If you serve canapes before dinner two rounds will be sufficient for your guests. If you write me in care of the ANP, 3507 South Parkway, Chicago, Ill., I will gladly send you twenty inexpensive and easily prepared canapes and a list of articles for your pantry which will cost you only a few cents. At least I have something to make green peas taste differently. You are going to be agreeably surprised when I tell you what I found weeks ago. I tried it out before I decided to write you about it and they are perfectly delicious. The bottom of the saucepan should be covered with boiling water then add a very little sugar, a dash of salt the peas and several large lettuce leaves. The leaves should cover the peas completely. Cover the pan and allow peas to simmer for about twenty minutes over a very low flame. Before serving remove the leaves, drain liquid off and add a large piece of butter. Try the peas this way and write me telling me how you like the altogether different fresh peas. I spent a part of the week looking up and testing new recipes, because I thought you would like to try them out. Here are choice bits from here and there. And by the way if you have a favorite won't you send it to me so that the rest of the homemakers can spring something new on the family. Gingerbread with cream cheese ... Mix one three-ounce package of cream cheese or enough to make a smooth paste. Whip the mixture enjoy winding yards and yards a of hot gingerbread, spread with the filling and sprinkle with chopped salted nuts. Top then with another teaspoon of the cream cheese sprinkled with nuts. Horseradish sauce...And it will prove to be a masterpiece salad if you use this sauce over and mix in your next shrimp salad. One cup whipped cream, one cup of horseradish one teaspoon salt, one half teaspoon sugar, one tablespoon lemon juice, one half teaspoon onion juice. Whip the cream and horseradish, salt, sugar lemon and onion juice. Mix well. It's a humdinger! Inexpensive Oven Dish...Select large baking apples. Remove the core and part of the pulp. Mix the scooped out pulp with sausage meat and season to taste with a little sage.

Split ar serving round your fork then you'll like this recipe. Cook two packages of spaghetti for ten minutes in fast boiling and well salted water. Drain until every drop of water has dripped off.

Phone Pot. 1667 TWO Honors go to E. D. Preston and John B. Cole for Best Articles The history prizes annually given by a friend of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History for the purpose of increasing interest in the Journal of Negro History have recently been awarded by the committee consisting of Professor L. D. Turner, of Fisk University; Professor Benjamin G. Brawley, of Howard University; and C. G. Woodson, director of the organization These prizes are given for the best and next best article and for the best and next best review contributed to the Journal during the year ending the first of October. The prize of $100 goes to E. D. Preston for his article in the October issue of the Journal entitled "William Syphax," a pioneer in Negro Education in the District of Columbia." Mr. Preston is a native of Washington where he was educated in the public schools and at Howard University Upon being graduated at that institution in 1918, he went South to teach in various institutions, serving last at the State Teachers College, in Montgomery, Alabama. During recent years he has been doing graduate work toward the doctorate at Ohio State University. This institution has already honored him with the degree of Master of Arts. Within the next few weeks he will begin service as special investigator with the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. Second Prize to Cade The prize of $50 for the next best article contributed to the Journal goes to Professor John B. Cade, of Prairie View College. This teacher has set the noble example which others should follow in saving the records of the Negro that the race may not become a negligible factor in the thought of the world. Some years ago when he was doing extension work as a representative of Southern University, in Louisiana, where he was stationed at that time, he took upon himself the task of interviewing the ex-slaves of that state to learn from them exactly what their experiences were in slavery and what they thought of the institution. In this investigation he had the cooperation of a large number of teachers whom he instructed at various points in Louisiana. From the data thus collected he produced for the Journal an article giving these testimonies under the caption "Out of the Mouth of Ex-Slaves." In so doing he has made some contribution to the scientific study of slavery as seen from the points of view of investigators like Mrs. H. T.Cateralel' Miss Elizabeth Donnan, and Dr. Frederic Bancroft. In trying to white-wash the South and its heroes, numerous pseudo historians have been endeavoring to prove that the institution was a benevolent system which never should have been abolished since it gave such satisfaction to the slaveholders and to the persons held in bondage. Professor Cade has done his part in uprooting this untenable teaching. Howard Professor Wins The prize of $50 for the best review contributed to the Journal during 1935 goes to Dr Charles H. Wesley of Howard University. This author is well known to the public as a product of Fisk University, Yale, and Harvard and an outstanding leader in the African Methodist Episcopal Church CHRISTMAS 1935 CHRISTMAS SEALS He has recently added to his credit the first definitive biography of Richaro Allen, an effort not only to present the work of Richard Allen among his immediate followers but to give his career an historic setting among men and things of that time. Dr. Wesley reviewed the "Evolution of the Negro College," by Dean Dwight Oliver Wendell Holmes, the head of the Graduate School of Howard University. This volume is a brief treatment of the rise of the Negro colleges, their function in the readjustment of the freedmen after the Emancipation, and the role played by these institutions in the life of the Negro today. This work by Dr. Holmes a few years ago was accepted as meeting the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Columbia University. Second Review Prize The prize of $25 for the next best review contributed was written by Professor Clayton S. Ellsworth of Wooster College, Wooster, Ohio. For some time he has been interested in the works bearing upon the cooperation of whites in the unlift of the Negro prior to the Civil War. This interest has led him to make a study of such careers, and recently he has submitted to the Journal some of his evaluations of works written in this field Not long ago he submitted a review of Barnes' "Antislavery Impulse," published by a special fund of the American Historical Association but that work had already been reviewed before that of Professor Ellsworth reached the editor of this magazine. This paticular review, which was awarded the prize by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, was that of a work in two volumes entitled, "Letters of Theodore Dwight Weld. Angelina Grimke and Sarah Grimke," edited by Gilbert H. Barnes and Dwight L. Dummond. In giving this appreciation of this valuable collection of these outstanding characters in the Abolition Movement, Professor Ellsworth has put the reading public under an obligation to him. It was a fine service that the editors rendered in making these documents available, yet it was not an insignificant service of the reviewer to do well the task of evaluating these productions. DR. HANCOCK (Continued from Page 1) Thompkins, recorder of deeds. Dr. Wilkinson Presides The objectives of National Negro Week were stated by Robert E. Martin, local director of the project. Dr. Garnet C Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, presided over the meeting and was presented by W. Harry Barnes Jr., basileus of Alpha Chapter.

Dunbar is playing Armstrong the final game of the high school series on November 25, at the Griffith Stadium. Although Armstrong is ruled the favorite, the game will furnish many thrills. On November 29. the Modern Juliettes Club will entertain their friends at the Masonic Temple. This dance will be semi-formal. This club consists of high school girls. Members of the club are: Virginia Taylor, Hazel Winkie, Majorie Chisley, Anna Mae Hunter, Ethel Darden, Frances Hicks and Lily McFarland. *** Several clubs have asked me to explain what "semi-formal dress" means. Young men are considered dressed semi-formal when they have on; black shoes, a dark suit, a white shirt and a black tie. For young ladies any evening dress other than formal may be worn. --- Speaking of a swanky place you boys and girls should truck up to the Merry Maker at 920 U Street, Northwest. This is a place where you can have a swell time with little money. Mallory Goins was seen coming out of the Merry Maker Club early one morning. What will Contance say about this Mallory? The affair at Saint Augustine, last Friday night was well attended by the lovers of good entertainments. Miss Christine Taylor was in charge of the dancing acts. A bunch of roses to this young lady for doing something worth while. Miss Taylor, by the way, is a graduate of Dunbar. Misses Helen Barnes, Nannie White, Alice White and Viola Scruggs were entertained in Baltimore after the Dunbar and Douglass gene. The local team was given a formal welcome by the principal of the school and were interviewed by the editor of the school's paper. *** The Younger Set will appear in the Tuesday issue of the Tribune.

IT IS SAID THAT Frances rinkett has scoped jibing other girls' boy friends and has captured Carl Hansburg for her own A. Cromwell and Charles Pinnerhughes are back together. This was plainly seen at the St. Mary's dance. L. Clayborne and Mary Acty tried to crush the dance without paying the admission price. I have heard of boys trying to crush a dance but, when the girls try to crush, that's too much. Frank Colbert, of Howard is seen at Dunbar quite often these days. Is it because of Louise Laye or Clara Gibbs? Chester Pearls was seen in the Lincoln Theatre with G. Walker. Mary Meshaw is out early getting a line on the armband prospects. Could it be Lacy or Dyer? Thelma Robertson is going to all the local games these days. Why the certain interest. Thelma? Lorrimer Mills gave a party at 1213 Fairmont Street last Friday night. The crowd had a grand and glorious time. For details see next week's paper. The Junior Aristocrats held their weekly meeting at the Masonic Temple last Thursday. Plans were made for their annual dance that is to be given during the Christmas holidays. Speaking of holiday affairs, the writer's attention is drawn to the situation that in confronting the local social clubs of today. It is so now that many students, who like to go to dances do not dare frequent the Masonic Temple and other dance halls, because of the disorder and unsportmanlike conduct on the part of the boys that go to these dances. This writer has seen many high school and other boys coming to a dance, that is supposed to be semi-formal, without a necktie and with sweaters on. Last week Armstrong played to a full stand which shows us that the local high school football series is becoming popular. The Six Girls, social at 1612 Tenth Street was not so good. The food was grand but the dance space was too small STARTS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE The West Virginia State Club of Washington inaugurated a membership drive Monday.

King of Kings Buys Wine Cellar; Pays $250,000 for Champagne LONDON (By Rudolph Dunbar for ANP)—Instead of any of the native viands, give Emperor Halle Selassie the good old English dish of kippers and you will have set before the Conquering Lion of Judah his favorite breakfast food. At least, so says M. Henri Chambard, French, former head of the imperial kitchens at Addis Ababa, now grillroom chef at the Troca-deco restaurant here. M. Chambard did not return to London because the emperor wished it. The chef declares he was offered 30 years' salary in advance if he would remain in Ethiopia and do the king's cooking. M. Chambard might even have had the money deposited in an English bank "in case of eventualities." Emperor's Service in 1928 The chef vent into the emperor's service in 1928 when he cooked a meal for Solassie then passing through Paris The King of Kings liked it very well. "Later the Emperor's secretary asked me to direct the kitchens at Addis Abba on a three years' contract and I accepted." M. Chambard says. "When I got there I found the royal kitchen was just a small hut. A small boy was stoking the fire which consisted of a few burning branches from trees. Over it was suspended a large pot." Extraordinary Place "Mon Dieul!" said I, "for I am a Continental chef, proud of my profession."

Royal Wine Cellar "When I had been there six months, the Emperor gave me a brand new kitchen with electric fights and continental luxuries, and commanded me to order champagne." "I ordered nearly $250,000 worth. Then he bought the wine cellar of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria. The wines had been in storage for twenty years. They brought them through the Red Sea stored in water. When they arrived they turned my stomach."

(By staff correspondent for ANP) — Not since Burns' book, "I Am a Fugitive From A Georgia Chain Gang" was published has there been such a turnmoil in Georgia, that is "White Georgia" than that created by the rufusal of Governor Floyd Olson of Minnesota to debate with Governor Talmadge of this state on the "Constitution of the United States" at Macon, Georgia, Governor Olson gave as his reason the fear that he might be placed on the chain gang with Angelo Herndon for freedom of speech. Governor Olson challenged Governor Talmadge to the debate while the place was designated by Talmadge as Macon, Georgia, but the Minnesota governor demurred, declaring that: Afraid of Chain Gang "I would welcome the opportunity to debate the subject with the governor of Georgia, but in some other state, such a neutral state as New York. I would be obligated to commend on the denial of free speech in Georgia and I might find myself on the Georgia chain gang with Angelo Herndon, the Cincinnati Negro who was sentenced to from 18 to 20 years on the chain gang for distributing Communistic literature. While not a Communist I do believe in freedom of the press and of speech." Would Keep Him Out of Prison When Governor Talmadge was apprised of the Minnesota executive's attitude toward the place of the debate, he stated that "while having not been notified officially of Governor Olson's refusal, if the reports be true as to his reason for refusing to debate in Macon are true, I can assure him that he will not be sent to the chain gang no matter what he says. And I might add that I have the power to keep him from being sent there." The governor of Georgia did not take the matter seriously, according to reports, but expressed the Ralph Jones Re-elected Howard Club President PHILADELPHIA, — Ralph H.

Hal Roach, producer of "Our Gang" comedies which skyrocketed Sunshine Sammy and Farina to stardom, is on the look-out for comedy writers, regardless of color.

Speaking of the achievement of the Negro in business, Lieutenant Oxley paid tribute to the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, N.C. He traced the growth of the company from its beginning in 1899, "with very little knowledge without capital and no experience in the life insurance business," to the heights it has reached today.

Barred By Ministers That he is further embarrassed with the Baptist Ministers Conference of Washington and Vicinity, of which he is a member, was also claimed in the petition. Hoping that the church would repent and nullify its stand, the pastor stated, he returned to one of the regular meetings of the church, November 8, of this year, and that when he attempted to speak on the question up for consideration, he was ruled out of order by the moderator who is alleged to have said that he could not speak or participate in any of the church proceedings as he had been expelled. The moderator then called on the church clerk to read the expulsion order, according to the Rev. Mr. Tyree. The ousted pastor declares that he cannot join any other church of his faith until he has been duly restored to the membership of the Rehoboth Baptist Church, and asks the court to restrain the church from interfering with his rights as a member and to order the church to restore him to membership in good and regular standing.

JACK THE RIPPER? had the encounter last fall, Leaving her place in the line, Miss Harty sought the policeman on the beat and told him, that she had just seen a man wanted by the police. Accompanied by the patrolman, Miss Harty returned to the place where she had seen Cassell and pointed him out to the officer, who placed him under arrest. Detective Robert Forgey, of the Homicide Squad, who had been working on the case since the man first began his activities in 1932, was notified and the prisoner was released in his custody for questioning. Although Cassell denied that he was the man, the police sough Flora Hill, address unknown, another victim, who survived the "Ripper's" attack. She positively identified the man as the one who tricked her into a vacant house, forcing her to comply to his demands and then shooting her. Questioned by Detective Forgy, it is said that Cassell told the officer that he was a scavenger and that he had never seen either of the women before. Arraigned before Magistrate Hamberg at the Tenth and Buttonwood Streets police station. Monday morning, Cassell was held without bail for court. He was charged with aggravated assault and battery by shooting and rape. No formal murder charge has been placed against the man. Other victims of the "Ripper," found dead in unoccupied dwellings on the East Side of Broad Street in various sections of North Philadelphia, were: Rose Rogers, 400 block North Tenth Street; Marie Austin, 1000 block Brown Street; Alice Edwards, 600 block North Perth Street; Marie Benson, 1400 block Parrish Street. and Evelyn Waters, address unknown.

(Associated Negro Press) During the 10-year period from 1920 to 1930, the Negro population of America increased only 1,428,012 to 11,891,143 or 13.6 per cent, as contrasted with a 15.7 per cent increase in the white race, according to "Negroes in the United States 1920-32," recently published by the U. S. Bureau of the Census. This volume, compiled by Charles E. Hall, specialist in Negro statistics, shows that since 1860 the Negro population has increased in the North and West and fallen off in the South Atlantic and East South Central divisions Georgia and Mississippi lead with more than a million Negroes each, while North Dakota has less than any other with only 377. In 1790 there were 239 Negroes per 1,000 whites, and in 1930 there were 109. In 1930, 43.7 per cent of Negroes were in cities and 56.3 in rural areas. In 1920 corresponding percentages were 34 and 66. 25.707 Stores in 1929 In 1929 there were 25,701 retail stores whose total sales were $101,146,043, with 28,243 proprietors and firm members, 12,561 full time employees, a payroll of $8,528,306, with stocks on hand at the end of the year costing $10,657,000. Dixie had 18,864 of these stores with sales totaling $57,036,307, while the North with only 6,475 stores had sales of $40,335,397, with $3,774,339 in the West. Georgia had the largest number of stores and North Dakota the smallest. The lowest wage cost, percent of total sales, was 2.29 for grocery stores without meats, and the highest was 22.87 in electrical shops without radio. New York, with the largest Negro population, ranked fifth in the number of stores while Chicago, second city in the country, had 815, the largest for one urban center. 882.850 Farm Operators In 1930, there were 882,850 Negroe farm operators in the United States. They were 14 per- cent of all farm operators while the race's population was only 9.7 percent of the total population. Acreage in Negro farms decreased 9.3 per cent from 1920-30, while the average acreage per colored farm was 42.6 percent as compared with 176 for whites. Value of land and farm buildings in 1930 was $1,402,945,799, with implements and machinery at $60,327,856 or an average of $68 per farm. Total THREE value of farm products produced in the South was $646,641,216 in 1929, or an average value of $732 per farm. Of the 2,803,756 Negro homes in 1930, 669,645 or 28.9 percent were owned and the rest rented. Between 1900 and 1930 the number of homes owned increased 79.3 percent while those rented were upped 53.5 percent. In 1930, 7.5 percent of all Negro families had radio sets. Of the 9,292,556 Negroes 10 years old or over, 5,503,555 were gainfully employed in 1930. Of these 36.1 percent were in agriculture, 28.6 in domestic and personal service, 18.6 in manufacturing and mechanical industries, 7.2 in transportation and communication of minerals and the remaining 2.2 percent in public service, clerical occupations, forestry and fishing. Scribes Approve U.S. Olympic Participation BOSTON, Mass.—The National Negro Newspaper All-American Committee cast a bombshell into race opposition to the 1936 Olympic Games at Berlin, when five out of six members voted in favor of participation. The poll which was held recently, is the first of its kind published to express the viewpoint of the athletic Negro press. Richard Jackson, sports editor of St. Louis Argus, opposed while Sports Editors, Chés Washington, Pittsburgh Courier; Randy Dixon, Philadelphia Independent; Eddie Burbridge, Louisiana Weekly; Mabe Kountzte, Boston Chronicle, and Sam Lacy, Washington Tribune were in favor. There are eight members in the N.N.N.A.A. eleigible to vote, and more than one half will go on record favoring U.S. participation next year. Land-Grant College Heads In Conference Here A conference of presidents of land-grant colleges are holding their thirteenth annual convention here with headquarters at the Whitelaw Hotel.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1935 That Pound of Flesh No more significant statement has been made by President Roosevelt among the many splendid urges he has given to redirecting the dammned-up economic stream of American life, than his suggestion to bankers. The eating cancer of American enterprise is interest. Like the traditional "popul of flesh," every holder of a contract wants just what is "nominated in the bond." The interest rates were set so high during the boom that paying them during a depression was practically impossible, and millions of properties were taken from those who had pledged to pay. Business that intended to survive, reorganized its loan when the gold dollar was revealed, as was necessary and just, because the unit in which the contracts had been made was changed, and money was scarce, hence every piece had greater value. Unfortunately proud people or those who were timid paid as long as possible and then silently gave up everything, when futher payment became impossible. As a group we have not learned to seek advisory counsel when in doubt as how to proceed. On the contrary we act as we do in sickness, we consult another brother who may or may not know as much about the conditions as we do. Home-buyers and others who have been paying heavy interest should make formal request in writing for some reduction in that burden, and if not favorably received, then expose the hard-hearted party to public scorn. Interest taking, like some other habits, is easily formed and thrives upon what it gets. It is hard to break, and the usurer reasons that his victim is too proud or too timid to protest. Even six per cent, the legal rate of interest in years gone by, is now too high, with money piled up in banks waiting to be invested. If business wants to show its good faith, the President has shown it a way to correct some of its own abuses, and nobody will be the poorer, but money will be released for spending generally. What the Urban League has accomplished with its program reads like a fairy tale. And the vision involved in the program which had been set in motion long enough to have prepared leaders for the recent collapse of the economic system with its depression and unemployment, makes it almost uncanny. Demands of the Age In human nature there are deep-seated reasons why shorter hours, music, recreation and community relations must be provided, if our social order is to be preserved and we ourselves are to survive. The intensity of modern life demand a kind of social shell by which individuals protect themselves against all but the shocks of their own affairs in order to preserve themselves from distraction. These demands press hard upon the colored people because of their sociability. They mistake bruskness for "high-hatting." They are classed as inefficient in the modern business world because they move, talk and act as if still living in a rural situation in horse-and-buggy days. To let down from the top speed set by modern machine civilization, with its demands upon a nervous system not yet tuned to the terrific pace, drink, gambling and dissipation or fast autodriving afford quick seeming relief. Too prolonged a strain and the necessary absence of openness of sympathy in the social relations of our congested living places prove demoralizing to sensitive natures, both in their personal and domestic affairs. This explains so many divorces. Nervousness and unconventional conduct, even an increase in crime, may be traced to such sources. Business and professional groups feel this strain more than plain-living, hardworking people because of the multiplication of the points of contact through accelerated communication and the mad race for efficiency. Few have time and soon lose enjoyment for mere social exchanges. Necessary politeness becomes formal, hurried, mechanical; even the smile and voice. As we become more democratic, we likewise become less sociable. We are victims of the age. Christ was such a trouble-maker for the powers-that-be of His day, that we can understand why something had to be done with Him. They couldn't fire him because He wasn't working, and they couldn't send Him to Siberia because they didn't know where it was. The Importance of Factual Data By CHARLES E. HALL Specialist, Negro Statistics, Department of Commerce Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. STATISTICAL RECORDS NECESSARY FOR INTELLIGENT PLANNING (Delivered in Philadelphia, September 26, 1959) It is eminently fitting that we should commemorate with song and speech the seventy-second anniversary of our emancipation. it is equally niting for us to take stock or an inventory of our progress, of the assets and habitities we have accumulated during the 72 years of our freedom. As a representative of the Bureau of the Census, I have been designated by the director, William L. Austin, to assure you that the bureau will be pleased to supply you with any available census statistical data that may assist you in making plans for the social progress and economic security of our racial group. The Bureau of the Census, the greatest statistical organization in the world, is constantly at work, year in and year out, keeping a record of the national position and furnishing factual foundations for future guidance, and its activities are of vital importance to the well-being of every individual in the nation. The great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, once said, "If we could first know where we are and whither we are tending, we could better tell what to do and how to do it." It is the function of the Bureau of the Census to show where we are tending by conducting periodical statistical surveys by censuses. Government, industry, commerce, transportation, communications, health, education and many other phases of collective life are directly affected by the information assembled and disseminated and while wage earners, small merchants, farmers, home-makers and others may have no direct need for census statistics nevertheless they share largely, if indirectly, quite unknown to themselves, in these benefits. Only recently the Bureau of the Census published a volume relating to the Negro population of the United States, in which statistics supplementing those presented in a previous publication issued in 1918, covering the census periods from 1790 to 1915.

Needs of the Race Specifically, plans are urgently needed for a greater participation of our wage-earners in the basic industries; for an increased ownership in farms; for strong building and loan associations; for the second mortgage financing of our urban homes, and for an increase in the number and a more efficient management of retail stores operated by Negro proprietors in the areas largely populated by Negroes. And on the social side, we particularly need a more accurate or complete registration of Negro births which will automatically reduce the high mortality rate of our population and decrease life insurance rates. I shall now show you a statistical picture taken five years ago, of our Negro-operated retail stores. It was the first national inventory ever taken of our participation in the retail business of the nation.

And on the social side, we particularly need a more accurate or complete registration of Negro births which will automatically reduce the high mortality rate of our population and decrease life insurance rates. I shall now show you a statistical picture taken five years ago, of our Negro-operated retail stores. It was the first national inventory ever taken of our participation in the retail business of the nation. Race Business As shown by the 1950 census of American business, unere were 20,011 retai stores operated in the United States by nergro proprietors whose aggregate sales amounted to $101,146,045, or an average of $3,950 per store, and the cost value of their stocks on hand at the end of the year amounted to $411,550,000. As shown by the 1990 census of American business, unece were 20,011 retail stores operated in the United States by Negro proprietors whose aggregate sales amounted to $101,146,045, or an average of $3,365 per store, and the cost value of their stocks on hand at the end of the year amounted to $10,655,000. But let us now look at the sales side of the picture, based exclusively on the total Negro population of each state and city. It shows that the sales per capita of the Negro population for the United States amounted to $8.01 per year, or less than $1 per month. But in 12 states, all in the South, the sales per capita of Negro population in retail stores operated by Negro proprietors averaged only $5.42, or less than fifty cents per month. For the South as a whole it was $0.00; for the North, $16.74, and for the West, $31.36. Looking at the returns for several industrial states in the North, we find that New York reported total sales of $13.63 per capita of its Negro population; New Jersey, $15.11. Pennsylvania, $15.12; Ohio, $14.26; Indiana, $18.05; Illinois, $19.66; Michigan, $22.53 and Missouri $14.30, while the Pacific Coast state of California reported $33.46. But let us now look at the sales side of the picture, based exclusively on the total Negro population of each state and city. It shows that the sales per capita of the Negro population for the United States amounted to $8.10 per year, or less than $1 per month. But in 12 states, all in the South, the sales per capita of Negro population in retail stores operated by Negro proprietors averaged only $9.42, or less than fifty cents per month. For the South as a whole it was $0.04; for the North, $16.74, and for the Vest, $31.36. Looking at the returns for several industrial states in the North, we find that New York reported total sales of $13.63 per capita of its Negro population; New Jersey, $14.11, Pennsylvania, $15.12; Ohio, $14.26; Indiana, $18.05; Illinois, $19.66; Michigan, $22.53 and Missouri $14.30, while the Pacific Coast state of California reported $33.46. Taking the 15 cities naving 50,000 or more Negro population, we ind the following total sales per capita of Negro population: Detroit, $25; Chicago and roustown, $21 each; New Orleans, $18; Cleveland, Memphis and St. Louis, $16 each; Pittsburgh, $15; Philadelphia, $14; Atlanta, $13; Richmond, $12; Washington $11; New York, $10; Baltimore, $7 and Birmingham, $6. Do we not need more of this money for circulation within our own racial group, for the financing of our OWN social and economic problems? Similar conditions obtain in New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Washington and other large cities, and practically nothing worthwhile is being done to remedy the situation. Regardless of the low sales per capita of the Negro population throughout the United States, these small retail stores operated by Negro proprietors gave employment to 40,804 Negro men, women, boys and girls, including the 28,243 proprietors and firm members not on the pay-roll, which amounted to 88,528,306 for the business year. The question now arises: do these retail stores constitute an asset or a liability to the race; and if they are an asset, are they of sufficient importance to our economic security to justify a more liberal share of the purchasing power of the Negro population? Plan Upon Facts Early next year a business census will be taken of wholesale trade, retail trade, business services and miscellaneous business enterprises, construction and real estate, banking, finance and insurance, professional services and transportation and communication. Upon the completion of this work we shall be able to make a comparison with the business census of 1930. An analysis of the facts will show whether we have made progress during the five years, 1930 to 1935; whether we were able to hold our own in spite of the depression, or whether we have suffered great or only small losses in the retail business. The importance of this business census to us cannot be measured, and all of our business men should see that their reports are properly made to the census enumerators who will begin the national business inven- An analysis of the facts will show whether we have made progress during the five years, 1930 to 1935; whether we were able to hold our own in spite of the depression, or whether we have suffered great or only small losses in the retail business.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 19. 1986 Pickens' Observations THE AMSTERDAM NEWS "STRIKE" SITUATION The other day I wrote a rather general statement about the situation of Negroes in "white" unions, when the Negro is only half way in—or rather, still on the outside where he can look in. But now I want to write about this Amsterdam News situation in every particular, and without equivocation. I am not one of the parties in interest, and ought therefore to have a more unbiased mind on the matter: I do not have a business to defend, like the owners of the Amsterdam News; and I do not have a new organization to promote, like Heywood Brown. Therefore, I do not need to lie. But a lot of lies are being told, or implied—and an implied lie is just as good as any other. For example, it is said by implication that William Pickens is opposed to unions, to "collective bargaining," and to strikes. Not to give too much time and space to answering such nonsense, I might say that I have given more time, energy and money to strikers, workers, and union causes than any other two or three of my colleagues put together, and have made more speeches and taken more risks at it than all the others added up. It has even caused me to be criticized and almost threatened by my friends and co-workers, who thought I was going too far in that direction. STRIKE SEEMS TO BE A STUPID AFFAIR But I nanpoen to think this Amsterdam News strike is about the stupidest thing of the kind that has come within my experience. I can believe in unions and strikes, without believing in every action and every strike. It would be just silly, not to say dishonest, to say that the Rev. Dr. Flathead Howler is a fake or a scoundrel; or that I do not believe in business because I say that Mr. Gettum's business is a market, or a swindle. The effort to misrepresent a man's sayings and ideas to something quite different from what they are, unless he will dishonest and pretend not to hold those opinions, is nothing less than an effort to blackmail him into a concession. And blackmail by unions would be no better than blacklisting by employers, for a similar purpose. A man's real opinions cannot be changed by nicketing him, or by lying on him or threatening him. Those methods may make him lie back, by pretending that he does not have the opinions which he has—if he be a coward of that sort. But if he happens not to be such a coward, that method is about 100 per cent useless. These seem to be the facts, better vouched for than anything that the slanderers have said, and facts that can easily be tested for their reality: The Amsterdam News, owned and controlled by two Negro women, which they inherited from their husband and father, tried during five years of the depression not to let out a single worker; ran $20,000 into debt, and found itself in the last few months running further behind at the rate of $700 to $800 a week; proposed after a conference with representatives of its staff to retrench by letting out four of its editorial staff. The editorial staff and writers, cartoonists and assistants numbered over fifty persons—enough to run the New York Times, if they worked—and more than twice the number working for any other Negro paper in the United States. The editorial cost was $600 or more per week, more than twice the cost of editing any other Negro paper in the country, and three times the cost on some of the largest of them. The other day I wrote a rather general statement about the situation of Negroes in "white" unions, when the Negro is only half way in—or rather, still on the outside where he can look in. But now I want to write about this Amsterdam News situation in every particular, and without equivocation.

LET US CONSIDER SOME REAL FACTS The others then went on strike because these four were to be let out—that is, the other chief members of the editorial staff. The others said that the four were being let out because they were union members; the management says they were being let out solely to reduce top-heavy costs and save the paper. Who is telling the truth? There is this on the side of the owners; All the others belonged to the union also, and were not being let out; and they had belonged to the union for a year or more, and had not been let out. They had a perfect legal right to go out on strike—and I have a perfect legal right to think that their going out just then was ill-considered. Ill-advised, and stupid. Under these convictions and with this information, I will not join any black strikers in Harlem nor any white men down-town to help break up this institution or to destroy the property of these two colored women. Those white men may know—at least it is natural for them to think so. All I know is that I have a conviction and a conscience, and that I have no selfish interest to serve: for in this case I seem to be standing with the weak rather than with the strong.

POLITICAL ASPECTS OF THE CASE ABSURD. I hear that somebody has filed suit against Mrs. Warren-Davis because her paper said the organization, fighting her has socialists and communists in it. Well, what if it has? Why will anyone admit that it is a disgrieve to be called a socialist or a communist, by filing suit about it? Or did the Amsterdam News say that the attacking union is not in the American Federation of Labor? Ye gods, how can that disgrace anybody—not to be in the Federation? If anybody wants to join this new union in an effort to destroy or greatly to injure this particular institution, they can count me out of their ranks; and they can even count on me to do all that I am able to do with my little influence on the opposite side of the issue. I believe in labor union, in collective bargaining (not in collective-bullying), and I believe in strikes—but if the facts stated above are even approximately true, I cannot believe in this particular strike. And I am not so darned sure, Heywood Broun, that the colored people of Harlem want a newspaper that can be dominated or bullied by some group downtown, not even with you at the head of that group—and I think that your useless but trouble-making and unsportsmanlike suit filed against Mrs. Warren-Davis and the paper is going to make a lot of colored men, who thought they saw eye to eye with you, find out that they do not.

CALVIN DUNBAR BANK RECORD The Dunbarn National Bank of New York has just entered its eighth year of service to the Harlem community. The record of the institution bears especial significance, both locally and nationally. To Harlem the Dunbarn Bank has meant the opening of new financial and credit vistas, at a time when the pinch of circumstance was most acute. The fact that the bank bears the name of a colored man, and that its employment policy has been most liberal, is indicative of the sympathetic approach to the problems of the community being made by the bank officials. It is not surprising, then, that the bank has grown rapidly in deposits and resources, even though the financial weather, generally, has been rough Viewed nationally, the Dunbar Bank has established some new precedents which will prove profitable to Negroes for many years to come, i.e. the willingness of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the principal owner, to establish the interracial principle in finance, is significant. Noted as a philanthropist, Mr. Rockefeller has demonstrated his genuine good will by opening the door of commerce where it was least expected. Throughout America, Negroes can feel strongly not only the incentive to save, but also the incentive to master and pursue the art of production and exchange of goods, which is the key to survival in our industrial order. The three million dollar Dunbar in Harlem is the beacon lighting the way. ARKANSAS PRINCIPAL Few men have lived to commemorate their fifteenth consecutive year of service to the cause of Negro education in the South. Off-hand, we recall none; but perhaps if a different search of the record were inside, a very few might be unearthed. But that proud privilege came to Henry Clay Yerger of the obscure town of Hope, Ark. Prof. Yerger has just witnessed the passing of the fifth decade since he became principal, oiled by accident, of the colored schools of Hope. Hope is a small town—less than 6,000 population. But in fifty years Prof. Yerger has built in proportion to the strength of his community. He has developed, from a motley grade school, the Yerger High School, now accredited by the state board for four years of teacher-training work. The Yerger lamp has not had national recognition, but it has been kept burning brightly. PEACE STILL WAITS Armistice Day, this year, reminds us that Peace still waits her turn. Seventeen years ago, when the guns, heard around the world, ceased firing a calm ensued, which it was hoped by the bereaved peoples, that would remain at least, during the lives of those then living. At Versailles an effort was made, even, to "guarantee" the peace of the earth. The nations organized themselves in a new sort of way — so they could stop, collectively, anyone who moved deliberately against any or all of the others. Apparently the new scheme did not work. One of the signatures of the convenant of the League of Nations has openly made war on a fellow member; has invaded the territory of a sister nation, in defense of world opinion. The view not that the League was calculated to halt, to make, impossible has come to pass; and this act of aggressiveness has been blessed by a most important branch of the Christian religion. The fact that Ethiopia is the innocent victim of Italy, is relatively unimportant when the larger view of the creation of a permanent machinery of peace is considered. Ethiopia might be any small nation, and Italy any major power. But, the fact that this League members have vaccinated delayed, waited, and postponed until Mussolini is well on the way to his objective, shakes the faith of those who had pinned their hopes on this possibility of evering strife and bloodshed through conquest. The Dove of Peace still waits her turn to light on this strife to m CIVIC SPIRIT GROWS The recent elections filled considerable space in the Negro press. This is a healthy sign for the Negro citizen, a sign that he is gradually taking a studied interest in the affairs of government as such, and not becoming emotionally wrought up only during presidential years. The history of the Negro in politics, prior to the sending of Osear DePriest to Congress, was largely the story of the corralling of delegates to national conventions, and the mad effort to "deliver" the Negro vote in the general election the following November. But with the rise of DePriest emphasis was of necessity placed on local conditions. State Senators, State Assemblymen, aldermen, and judges and magistrates became of paramount interest to local communities. Negroes in centers, like New York, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Kansas City, found that political power for the group started at the bottom, in the ward, and not at the top, in the national convention. They found it more important to elect captains, ward leaders and Our National Trend and Responsibilities (An excerpt from an address by the Honorable Daniel C. Roper.) We are today using virtually the same methods and the same procedures, with but few specific improvements from a general aspect over what we were utilizing in our home construction efforts twenty-five years ago. There have been of course many advantages in specific equipment which goes into homes, but home building on a national maximum production scale has never been developed in this country. The extent to which we have lagged behind in wise building programs is emphasized by the fact that at our present rate of home building we will construct approximately sixty thousand dwelling units in 1935. England, on the other hand, with one-third as many people to serve and a background of two and one-half million homes built since the World War, will build approximately three hundred and thirty thousand dwelling units in 1935. On a weighted comparative basis, therefore, our homebuilding activity is about six per cent of that attained under the English program. This illustrates the vast economic potentiality existing in the field in our country that should be immediately set in motion. Our recently built homes have been of a type adaptable to the needs of only approximately fifteen per cent of our people or those in the upper income brackets. The type of program which we must initiate is reflected by the market which must be provided during the next decade for millions of people in lower income groups. It has been estimated that thirty-five per cent of our homes should not cost over three thousand dollars, that sixty per cent should not cost over four thousand dollars, and that seventy-five per cent of our homes should not cost over five thousand dollars. At the present time virtually all new home units built are above the five thousand dollar classification. This vast potential demand almost staggers the imagination and presents a social and economic challenge which offers one of the greatest existing opportunities we have today. I am convinced that the objectives inherent in this challenge can be achieved through well planned cooperative endeavors between business and government. The government, through the insurance aid of the Federal Housing Administration, the refinancing features of the Home Owners Loan Corporation, and the rediscount opportunities made possible by the Banking Bill enacted at the last session of Congress, provides a backing of assurances which should stimulate private financing to enter this field far more expansively and aggressively than ever before. With governmental development and research efforts going hand in hand with the mobilization of private endeavors, better production and better marketing procedures can be initiated to make such a home building program a matter of fact rather than a matter of appealing contemplation. As improved production and distribution procedures make a greater suburban, home development possible, these advantageous results must be extended rurally in order to attract more people from congested areas into the country, thus attaining a needed and voluntary redistribution of population. We must in this country, therefore, make rural living more attractive through better homes and more convenientness if this important segment of which population is to share equitably in our national benefits. In these efforts which I have enumerated briefly the government should not do anything which private effort and private financing can do. However, in order to get such a program under way, the government should cooperate in every possible and proper way. district leaders; for on these "marty wheelbase" denended the election of aldermen assemblymen, judges and marshals, and the appointment of civil service employees—jobs in the police, fire, and other departments of the municipal government, and even teachers in the public schools. With a solid foundation in these minor fields it is comparatively easy to push to the larger realms. And it is because these minor fields are being cultivated that an off-year election means so much to the race. BROADWAY LOOKS UP Those who follow the fortunes of the Negro artist on Broadway, have reason to feel proud of what the present season portends. An auspicious start has been made. The name of Ethel Waters is flashed on the Winter Garden in letters of light, three feet high. Connie Inn, after making a name in Harlem has entered in one of the choicest spots on the "Great White Way" with an all-colored resue "Porgy and Bess" the Gershwin opera, is drawing "the very best people" nightly, from Park and Fifth Avenues. Langston Hughes, highest rated short story writer, has turned dramatist, and his "Mulatto" is holding up well with a mixed cast. Broadway is at last looking up to the Negro artist, not as an individual, but as a part of the regular scene. "No move Mdivanis!" says Poli Negri, talking of her aliances. My mother, What will happen to these boys? If our film stars and heiresses stop marrying them? BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL COL. ARTHUR W. LITTLE, GOOD TIMBER Leaders of the National Republican Convention are busy, casting about for a candidate, who in 1936, can swing a large majority of votes in the Presidential hat While so doing they are overlooking one of the finest species of humanity, walking on the face of the globe — Colonel Arthur W. Little, prominent New Yorker, speaker, writer and benefactor. Of the three prominently mentioned for the nomination — Frank L. Knox, Iloanis, Governor Alfred M. Landon Kansas; Senator William E. Borah, Idaho; — I can speak of only one, Senator Borah. To nominate him would be suicide. He fought the anti-lynching bill as hard as any man in the Senate, and it was largely because of his arguments that the bill was pigion-holed. He told press representatives boastfully that he fought it and would continue to do so just as often as it canjup. I know very little about Governor Landon or Knox. But of Colonel Little. I know a great deal and heartily recommend him for the Republican Nomination for the United States Presidency. Born in 1874, in the city of New York, the son of the late Congressman Joseph J. Little who came here as one of the finest product of the British Empire, and who helped to put Masonry on the man while establishing a publishing and printing business, second to none. A Noble Sor. Colonel Arthur W. Little is the noble son of a worthy sire. A typical American — a born soldier—and the highest type of Anglo-Saxon, who can rub elbows with the humblest strata of humanity, without even the fear of losing caste. A voluntary soldier at the age of eighteen. He was a Captain of the 171st Infantry Volunteer Regiment during the Spanish-American War. He entered the 71st, regiment and assigned with the rank of Major and Inspector of the First Brigade of New York after twenty years of service. He volunteered as private again in the Seventh Regiment, when the World War broke and commissioned two weeks later as Captain in Colonel Hayward's 15th Infantry. The Colonel organized and recruited Company F, and three months later was made Regimental Adjutant, and Executive Officer of the Regiment, as Colonel Hayward's chief assistant took it overseas, and after nine months he was promoted to Major-in-Command of the First Battalion, and as such participated in all the fighting until the Regiment was mustered out. He was under fire 191 days. He was in 1921, made head of the 369th Infantry, and as Colonel rehabilitated the regiment back into the federalized National Guard. He now holds the Brevet rank of Brigadier-General, but refuses to use the title, having preference to his title of Colonel of our beloved Colored regiment. With more knowledge about the Negro as a soldier and man, than any other leading Anglo-Saxon, Colonel Little is the unbridled and consistent champion of the Negro's cause — a friend to humanity. He now heads one of the largest book-binding and printing businesses in the nation. Though a millionaire, he has not lost the common touch. As a writer, he wields a facile pen, which is not only informative, but illuminating and brilliant. He is the white hope of the American Negro electorate. He is among the few men who shake hands cordially, with the proletariat, while looking into the open front doors of Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue, which are always alert to him. Whether a writer, speaker or benefactor the cause of the man farthest down, never escapes his notice. The Colonel has been on the inside, as a maker of mayors, Governors and Presidents, and typifies that bich type of Anglo-Sa- on statesmanship to which the unfortunate racial groups can pin their homes and blind faith. on the in- vows, Gov- and typi- glo-Sa-on the unfor- pair in their And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth. Stealing my breath of life, I will confess. I love this cultured Hell that tests my youth. Her vigor flows like tides into my blood. Giving me strength against her hate. Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood. Yet as a rebel fronts a King in state. I stand within her walls with not a shred. The culture, and refinement of his elegant home and his helpmate, give him the background of America's best leadership. He is not intended to be seen in the company of the Negro, demonstrating this, when he rode in the Grand Parade of the recent Elks Convention, held in Washington. Robert L. Vann, editor and special assistant to the Attorney General, was forced to pen: "Colonel Little will no down history as stalwart champion of what is right and decent, with no qualifying adjectives describing race creed and color." That Mr. Vann was, and is a staunch Democrat, made no difference despite the fact that Colonel Little is Republican. Credit to whom credit is due. Others Said— "I do wish to record my own high appreciation of Colonel Littl" as a military chieftain and as a man beloved of those who have served and who do serve with him." --- "Colonel Little stands before us as one of the more vivid streaks of orange — yes, of gold — in our skies of race relations." A Clayton Powell. "He is not only an outstanding friend of our people here, but I may say a benefactor." — William G. Hueston. The . . . Readers' Corner By C.

Although you can guess the theme, it is told in a different manner. $2. "Stuggle," by Harmon Bellamy, which deals with life in the raw—real, vivid, gripping. It calls a spade a spade and digs deep under the surface to expose a man's true emotions. It's ching. $2. "Hell Triumphant," by W.A.C. which it is claimed that every woman who has a girl girl girl girl who has a sweetheart should read. The book claims to be an expose of the daring frankness and the ruthless cunning and contemptible intrigue now being employed by large interests to cause a new world. $2. "Home Is Where the Heart Is," by Rosemary Rees, author of "Dear Acquaintance," is one of those clean, wholesome stories written as only Rosemary Rees can write them. The story hinges around the life of Beth Harland, an orphan, with the locale in New England. This novel has received favorable press reviews. $2.

"Wild Blood" is an exeiting story of as desperate, ruthless, bloody range war as the West has ever known. If you're one of those in-bed-late-at-night readers, "Wild Blood" should please you. $2. Hints on Infantile Paralysis Poliomyelite commonly know 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 paralyzes, cripples and permanently deforms its victims. The majority of persons attacked by this disease are children between the ages of four and ten years. Parents and guardians therefore, should have some knowledge of the symptoms of its approach. 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 complete paralysis of an arm, a leg or one side of the body involving arm and leg, or the lower half of the body involving both legs, will be noticed. The theory follows that at some previous time some part of the some had been injured or strained, thus setting up an irritation in the cord which rapidly develops an inflammatory condition with the resultant paralysis and degeneration, and some times death. It is claimed that the disease is caused by a certain class of germ which enters the body through the nostrils or mouth. It has however, been recently discovered that traumatism (falls, blows, strains and other injuries), exposure to cold and damp, or overexertion of any kind are the predisposing causes. And that whatever part the germs play, the exciting cause is inflammation of the anterior horn, or motor region of the spinal cord. America Although she feeds me bread with bitterness.

This .idea of “taking in the best parties and dances,” wining and dining in the most select and pop- ular cizcles, together with being escorted to and fro by the most attractive and becoming person- ages, to my mind boils down ana- lytically to mere exhibition, or, as we mode:ns more properly term it, “cheap noting.” This epistle may scund as though it emitted from a pristine psalm singer or gospel monger; but, on the con- trary, it comes from a typical so- cial rounder who has been prac- tically everywheve and committed practically everything. In other words, it is the lament and wail of one who has gotten his “belly- ful” of en extremely heavy social menu. And in the end, what does t all amount to, but a seemingly never-ending “keeping up with the Joneses” competition? As for me, my recent devotion to my comfy pallet has resulted in the accumu- lation of eight solid pounds, and by ebstinence from — “lushy” Vquids has given that old devilish velint to my eyes.

(Dick) Dandridge An interlocutory decree for an absolute divorce from his wife, Mrs. Peerl A. Dandridge, was signed late last week by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat for Richard A. (Dick) Dandridge, an employee of the Government Printing Office. The decree was granted Dandridge on grounds of adultery. He was represented by Attorney George E. C. Hayes. According to the testimony, Mr. Dandridge, in May and June of 1934, was informed by neighbors that his wife was carrying on an illicit affair with a younger man, Leroy Iverson, 1246 Duncan Street, Northeast. He, at first, paid little attention to the accusations but on June 14, of the same year, he returned home unexpectedly from work to make the discovery which resulted in the filing of his suit. An empty whiskey bottle in the kitchen, a man's clothing hanging on the line, and an unfinished chore of ironing were the things which attracted his attention as he entered the home. He immediately became suspicious that someone else was in the house with his wife. On going upstairs, Mr Dandridge averred, he found Mrs. Dandridge and Iverson compromisingly situated.

James Thomas Buck has apparently lost his battle to establish September 25, as the "official Christmas" with his congregation and has decided to 'go along with them in their mistake." The good reverend suddenly proclaimed a new date for Christmas in August, setting forth that he was certain that the calendar makers were wrong. H is announcement brought forth much criticism from his congregation and a showdown was called last week with those who believe in the old order announced as the winners. WAITRESS-WIFE ACCUSED BY HUSBAND Mrs. Louise F. Whipps Accused of Violence, Desertion in Hubby's Answer Accusations against his wife Mrs. Louise F. Whipps, 1338 V Street, Northwest, were encouched in an answer filed late last week, by Frederick J. Whipps, 1128 Col- umbia Road, Northwest. Mrs. Whipps is suing her husband for divorce in the District Supreme Court. Mrs. Whipps, wh$_0$ is a waitress at a downtown department store, was charged in her husband's answer, with having made a practice of leaving their home and staying away three and four nights at a time. Attacked Him The husband further asserted that his spouse at times became intercited, and that during these fits of intemperance would fly into a rage and attack him. Once, he declared, Mrs. Whipps threw a long knife at him. Mr. Whipps in answer to his wife's charges that he removed the furniture from their home without her consent, declared that the household goods were removed by him during a time when she had absented herself from the home. She had indicated, he stated, that she did not intend to return. The man is employed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. TRUCK DRIVER ABSOLVED IN CHILD'S DEATH Eugene Moore Held Blameless In Accident Fatal to 21-Month Infant Eugene Moore, 39, 708 Morton Street, Northwest, was exonerated by a coroner's jury at an inquest into the death of David Rosenberg, white, 21 months. The infant was crushed to death under a truck driven by Moore on Tuesday. The inquest was held last week, at the District Morgue. According to the story as told by witnesses, the child, who was only 33 inches tall, could not be seen from the driver's seat, as Moore put the vehicle in reverse and started backing. The accident occurred on a vacant lot near David's home. Moore told the jury he had just backed away from a plumbing supply house adjoining the lot. He said he did not see the boy or know he had struck him until a pedestrian yelled to him. The child's skull and body was run over by the rear wheels of the truck. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Garfield Hospital. A verdict of accidental death was returned. Life Saved When Jury Recommends Mercy NEWARK-N.J. (ANP)—Arthur Jones, 21, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury in the Court of Common Pleas here, Thursday, for the murder of John Maggrin, white nightwatchman, formerly employed at the plant of the Washington Cleaners and Dyers.

Charles Wesme. Braun in Dedham alabama jail. Olin Montgomery The new incumbent recounted by the grand jury of Jackson County in Scottsboro, Ala., brings the now world famous case before the courts of Alabama for the fourth time. The first time the case came before Alabama authorities was in the town of Scottsboro, which gave it its name, in March 1831. There the nine boys taken off a freight train in Paint Rock Alabama, were charged, indicted, tried and sentenced on a charge of raping two white girls. The charge in Alabama carries the death penalty. Eight of the boys were sentenced to death, in a trial marked by open lynch incitement and devoid of all provisions of due process of law, or adequate defense. The ninth boy to be tried Roy Wright, at that time less than 14-years of age was not sentenced to death. One of the jurors held out for "mercy"—life imprisonment and a mistrial was declared in his case He has not been tried since in the almost five years that have elapsed. Case Goes to U. S. High Court The International Labor Defense entered the case at this point taking the appeal to the State Supreme Court of Alabama, where the verdict was upheld. In October, 1932, the International Labor Defense took the case before the U.S. Supreme Court for the first time. The decision of the Alabama courts was reversed and a new trial was ordered for the boys. By this time the case had achieved international renown. Protest actions and demonstrations were held in every European country and in several parts of Asia and Africa. Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two of the boys, together with J. Louis Engdahl, late National Chairman of the International Labor Defense, toured 26 European countries under the auspices of the LLD, organizing support for all nine of the boys Charge of Venue Won The second time the case was tried in Alabama was in the town of Decatur in Morgan county. The change of venue was won after considerable pressure was brought to bear on the authorities. Haywood Patterson, was the first to be tried here. It was at this trial, that Ruby Bates one of the white girls involved in the charges, took the witness stand to repudiate her testimony made in Scottsboro at the original trial, Dr. Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1935 Drawn in Delaware alabama yellow Clarance Norris. Drawn in Detroit, Alabama. Willie Robinson. Drawn in Decatur, Alabama, felled Andy Wright. Bridges, witness for the prosecution who examined both girls shortly after they were taken off the freight train at Paint Rock testified on the witness stand that he found no evidence of criminal assault on either of the girls. Judge Horton Reverses Decision An all white jury, found Haywood Patterson guilty and he was sentenced to death for the second time. In July 1933, Judge E. Horton, the trial Judge reversed his own decision and ordered a new trial for Haywood Patterson and all the others on the grounds that the testimony offered in the Decatur trial "preponderates greatly in favor of the defendants." The second trial in Decatur, Alabama and the third trial for Haywood Patterson was presided over by judge W. W. Callahan. The attorneys retained by the International Labor Defense, here as in all previous trials strenuously raised the question of systematic exclusion of Negroes from the jury. It was at this trial, that the jury rolls, as attested to by hand-writing experts, showed evidence of forgery in the attempt to show that names of Negroes were included in the jury panel. Haywood Patterson and Clarence Norris were sentenced to death at this trial. Historic Decision of U. S. Supreme Court In April 1935 the Scottboro case for the second time came before the Supreme Court of the United States. The verdict of the Decatur court was reversed in a unanimous decision by all nine justices, and new trials were ordered on the grounds that the constitutional rights of the defendants had been violated by systematic exclusion of Negroes from the grand and petit juries contrary to the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution of the United States. Public statements made by Governor Bibb Graves, and Lieutenant Governor Knight, who as attorney general prosecuted the Scottboro boys following the historic decision of the highest court, indicated that they would carry through this decision with the open intention of barring, the way to further appeal in the Scottboro cases.

Drawn in Decay, also Eugene Williams. and chairman of the Board of Trustees of the school there. on the grand jury which returned new indictments, is a historic occasion in Alabama. He is the first Negro to serve on an Alabama jury in the memory of the oldest residents. While this guarantees the constitutional rights of the boys, officials of the International Labor Defense pointed out it in no way guarantees absence of intimidation against the Negroes chosen for jury duty. The determination to leave no stone unturned to railroad the Scottsboro boys to a death sentence is clearly indicated by the new indictments on two counts: attacking both Victoria Price and Ruby Bates, who in two trials repudiated her testimony. Pennsylvania Relief Funds Out January 1 (Special to the Tribune) HARRISRURG, Pa.—Governor George H. Earle has announced that a special session of the Pennsylvania Legislature will within the next 90 days for the purpose of raising additional funds for relief.

NO DANGER OF NEGRO BECOMING RED, SAYS SCOTT Judge Says Race Has Never Faltered in Its Fidelity NORROLK, Va.—Despite the fact that a few "misguided Negroes" have allegedly embraced the communistic party, the colored race of America will always be among the first to defend the ideals and principles of the American government, said Judge Armond W. Scott of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia in addressing the Allied Civic Groups of Norfolk, Sunday. "Now and then there appear in the press of the country insinuations and expressions of fear, that the Negroes of America are going communistic, and the same is both without foundation or justification, and is a base and unwarranted charge against a patriotic race, which has never faltered in its fidelity and loyalty to American institutions. "There are a few misguided amongst us just as in all other groups, but it is unfair to stigmatize an entire race, because of the mistakes of a few. And if the tim should ever come, when any people, should have the gall and effrontery, the attempt to overthrow our American form of government the faithful and loyal Negro, will be among the first, as he has always done, to come to the aid of our beloved country. "And whatever may be its faults, for us, this is the best country in the world. "There is no place on earth where the people of our group have made such progress along all lines as has the American Negro, with the confines of this Republic." JERSEY G.O.P.

Owens took the stand along with Ralph Metcalfe and Eulace Peacock, two other Olympic prospects, that Germany is only one of 58 countries participating, and that any racial feeling entertained by the Nazis should have no effect on the international competition. It was also stated that Owens and Larry Snyder, his coach, were at odds over the issue LEWIS SIGNED FOR TITULAR BOUT IN CALIFORNIA Newly Crowned Light-heavy Champ to Meet An article appearing in the Daily Worker newspaper, official organ of the International Labor Defense of November 11 said in part: "Protests against the holding of the 1936 Olympic games in fascist Germany took on stormy proportions as the American Federation of Teachers actively entered the ranks of those who demand the transfer of the games to another country. The stand taken by Larry Snyder track-coach of Ohio State University, to influence Jesse Owens, famous Negro track star against speaking at an anti-Olympics meeting and the attack launched by Brigadier General Charles H. Sherill, member of the Olympics committee, who called the whole question "a Jewish issue," brought out into the open the efforts of Nazi sympathizers to resort to intimidation and even to fomenting racial strife in the interest of Hitler fascism. Press Suppresses Owens's Statement "Aroused at the racial discrimination in facist Germany, Jesse Owens one of the greatest university athletes of modern times, holder of innumerable track records issued the following statement, which was broadcast over station WLW in Cincinnati: "If there is discrimination against minorities in Germany, then the Olympics must be withdrawn." "Copies of this statement, distributed to the Columbus papers were promptly suppressed" Tribune Sends Telegram A telegram testing the accuracy Owens, Wednesday by the Tribune. It follows: "Jesse Owens, Ohio State University." "Jess please confirm or deny report that you are opposed to holding of Olympic Games in Germany as was stated in Daily Worker newspaper of November 11." (Signed) Sam Lacy, Sports Editor, The Washington Tribune. The Ohio State flash answered with the following wire: "Sam Lacy: 920 U St., Northwest, "If I am fortunate enough to make the Olympic team I certainly will go. Germany is only one country of the fifty-eight participating. Melvin Walker and Dave Albrritt two other colored boys on our team are of the same opinion as I am regarding competing in the games." Accordingly it can be seen that three of the colored athletics who hold better than fair chances of making the United States Olympic Games team occupy the same position as regards racial discrimination by the Nazis in connection with the games. Tribune Plans Personal Coverage of Major Tilts Plans for coverage of the major football games in this section of the country are under way in the office of the Washington Tribune, and will be completed in time for publication in Friday's edition. This year's post-Thanksgiving issue of the Tribune will include descriptions of the outstanding games of the day before. The Friday, November 29, edition will present write-ups of the Howard-Lincoln game at Atlantic City, the Virginia State-Morgan game at Baltimore, the Hampton-Union game at New York, and the Wilberforce-West Virginia game at Columbus. "good" as Howard's this year. To date, Howard has beaten Miner College and Cheyney. And Lincoln tied Cheyney, though she was beaten, 13-6, by Delaware State, a team which Miner College trimmed. That ought to be a good "classic" this year. SAM SAYS: A contemporary, Joe Rivnu, writes in the Black X of November 12 as follow: "'Aw, what a rotten team!" "'No guts or spirit for football players." "'Another man hurt. Cheer? For what?' Then a mighty yell as three disgusted cheer leaders, backed by a few unsophisticated (?) Miner College girls, screech out a frail 'Hold that line' to the amusement of a pessimistic and unconcerned Howard University student body and alumni. "This is a conservative idea of a layman's experience at any football game on the home field of the nation's leading Negro university. This is what happens at a home game at Howard University, Howard University, the Alma Mammy of the country's most conceited coords; the Alma Mammy of self-styled superior fashion plates who replace text books with 'Esquire' and use Warren William as their national dol. "Howard University, where your power of inebriation is the golden key to popularity and cheap note the only virtue higher than sophistication. "This is the spirit of the student body behind the 'Capstone of Negro Education's underfed, undertrained team of inexperienced football players. This is the spirit behind that group of youngsters whom the spectators, students, faculty and alumni expect to win games; the group of martyrs who are termed 'yellow' when they ose to their opponents." This and what is to follow may be considered timely, and it may not be. It all depends on how you look at it, if you're interested in the promotion of the "classic" which is in the offing, then it is hardly likely you can appreciate either the truth or the humor that is to be found in Joe Rivmu's statement. On the other hand, if you're desirous of getting at the bottom of what's wrong with football at the two institutions who are preparing to send their teams onto the ridiron at Atlantic City, then there's your starting point. An athletic team can be no stronger than its backing. if the team happens to be a school team, there must be behind it the urge to go out and strive to please those who are willing to cheer for he good deeds and console or the mistakes. There must be in the supporting ast an alumni which wants to see the glory of Old Whoo is upheld throughout theears. There must be a aaching corps and administration which feels that physical culture is a part of the curriculum.' Howard doesn't have a al-fdecent football team because nobody seems to care aoot whether she has one or ot. Whether Lincoln University, the other school slated o participate in this forthcoming "classic," is suffering from the same fraternal friction and internal disorder that haunted the regimes of several former coaches, is ot known. It is my sincere ope that Manny Rivero, the resent Lion mentor, has been able to escape that buga-oo. But whether it's internal isorder or something else, lincoln has a team which appears to be just about as Tribune Sends Telegram (Signed) Sam Lacy, Sports Editor, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 19. 1985 LEWIS SIGNED FOR TITULAR BOUT IN CALIFORNIA LEWIS SIGNED FOR TITULAR BOUT IN CALIFORNIA Newly Crowned Lightheavy Champ to Meet Abe Feldman SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—John Henry Lewis, new lightheavyweight champion of the world will fulfill the contract that will send him against an outstanding opponent in this city at Dreamland Auditorium shortly. Lewis was signed for a fight by manager Gus Greenlee just before the pair left for New York to meet Abe Feldman at Coney Island. Promoter Palazola insisted that John Henry reurnn and go through with his bout and when he failed to do so Lewis was suspended by the California Commission, which takes in Chicago and New York. Agree to fight The local promoter was consulted before the title match was signed and agreed to waive his prior contract if the ring star returned to the Coast, win, lose or draw. The same procedure was used in the case of the New York Garden, who held a contract on the ex-champ, Bob Olin. However there may be some conflict, as both organizations want to use the same foe against Lewis,—his recent conquerer, Feldman. Lewis has wired that he is returning for the match in December, but having an open date on November 27, the Dreamland head hopes to stage the bout on that date. AGGIES HUMBLED BY UNION, 20-0 AGGIES HUMBLED BY UNION, 20-0 Bulldogs Smeared by Panthers in Homecoming; 4,000 See Game GREENSBORO, N.C. — The peaceful surrounding and homecoming enthusiasm at A. and T. College was completely upset last Saturday when the powerful Virginia Union Panthers invaded the Greensboro Memorial Stadium and smashed a 20-0 victory over the Aggie Bulldogs before 4,000 eager fans. The final six points were annexed by a seventy-yard pace across the field for a touchdown by James, Panther halfback, in the last twenty seconds of the game. The Panther attack was far superior to what fans had predicted throughout the game—the offense characterized by dazzling running and flashy passing. The game was more or less a toss-up during the first quarter, both teams showing equal action and strength, but early in the second quarter the Richmonders started on the march which ended in victory 3 Jersey Lads to Lead Hampton to New York HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. — Three New Jersey boys, all of them lettermen and outstanding in several major sports while in Jersey high schools, will be in the first lineup when Hampton Institute faces Virginia Union University in New York on Thanksgiving Day, at the Polo Grounds, according to Gideon E. Smith, football coach. Larney E Owens, Jr., captain of the Hampton eleven, and formerly of the Englewood High School, leads the Jersey trio, and his home town has already shown that it will have a healthy cheering section on the Hampton side of the field when the local "favorite son" gets into action. When tickets sales began last week Englewood bought the first block of 160 seats. The other Jersey boys are: Raymond Hopson, of Tenfly, and Donald J. Montague of Woodbridge.

In addition to the electrically-equipped gridiron which the Tiger coach designed and equipped with the assistance of John L. Anderson, Institute electrician, he has added a store-bought spray which will be used to spray the throats of the football players. Instead of the gallon water bucket from which the men drank, Belcher, the team trainer, will now have the responsibility of spraying the throats of the football players when they feel the need of a drink of water. At times the men would drink too much water and become heavy on their feet; but with the use of the spray, their throats will merely be moistened, doing away with the possibility of drinking too much water during one of those crucial gridiron battles.

Coach Smith has assembled and moulded the greatest machine seen in the C.I.A.A. in years, in fact, he believes it is the best team he has ever coached. Thus far, it is the most feared team in the association and that included Morgan undefeated in 21 starts. Up at Union, Coach Hucles is struggling with his unit, although the boys have lost this season. But that is discounted when Hampton is in front of Union warriors. They forget all else save the fact that they want to beat Hampton. Fading Supremacy There is a great Negro golfer in Bermuda named Louis Corbin. He has challenged Sam Parks, U.

STATE TOPS ST. PAUL, 21-0 Former Orange and Blue Luminary Scores Touchdown in Trojan Win By G. G. Singleton PETERSBURG, Va.—The Virginia State College Trojans defeated St. Paul's injury-weakened Tigers 21 to 0 in a game that was thrilling in spite of uncomfortable weather and a soggy turf, on Rogers's Athletic Field here last Saturday. The game was only one minute old when the Trojans scored their first touchdown. St. Paul received the opening kick-off and a bad pass from center coupled with a poor punt gave Virginia State possession on the Saints' nine-yard mark. Bailey Scorss From here Eugene (Ace Bailey, star half back of Cleveland, raced around St. Paul's right end to score standing up, in the Trojans' first play of the afternoon. Bailey also converted the extra point in a play through his own left tackle. For the remainder of the first period the teams battled up and down the wet field which was growing more slippery all the time under the constant drizzling, with the Trojans enjoying the advantage, the Saints never advancing beyond the 40-yard line Throughout the game, in reality, the Saints advanced into Trojan territory only twice and never threatened seriously to score. The second quarter touchdown was counted by Henry (Red) Briscoe, former Armstrong High School Washington, D.C., star. Slater Named Corporation Counsel in Chicago CHICAGO (ANP) — Frederick W.

NINE LOS ANGELES, Cal.—Not long ago, Jack Kearns, once famous as the manager of the always famous Jack Dempsey, came out of the middle west with a youngster by the name of Hank Bath, whom he was touting as the new "white hope" who was to save the boxing game from the destructive fists of a brown gentleman from Detroit, named Joe Louis. Bath according to Kearns, was the "find" of a decade. He was the one pugilistic discovery that was to preserve the long vaunted Nordic supremacy of the prize ring. He was this and he was that. And, best of all, Kearns got away with it. He even sold the newspaper boys, those fellows who go to make up the most hard-hearted, cold, indifferent group of sports-lovers in the world. Sold the Press He (Kearns) was such a high-powered salesman for his man, Bath, that the press boys went for him in a great big way. So big, in fact, that the former manager of a former world champion earned brackets for an unknown, untested fighter even before the latter had drawn on his first mitten—put up his first "duke." Well Kearns and Bath are now engaged in the simple art of untangling themselves from a little difficulty at Los Angeles Faces Suspension It seems that the ex-manager of Jack Dempsey is facing suspension by the California Athletic Commission following charges by a Negro fighter that Kearns had attempted to make him take a dive in order to make Bath look good. The colored man, Teris Hill also told the Commission additional damaging evidence against Kearns and other Coast boxing leaders, Investigation is now under way. N. Y. Union Grads Await Hampton Grid Tilt NEW YORK. — With the big game only two weeks off, Harlem is getting anxious for the first sight of Union's Red and Steel Machine. Although reports from down south indicate that Hampton has the strongest team in years, they, meaning the fans, feel that Union will put up a stiff battle in this game because it is playing its initial game in the Big City. Alumni of the Richmond school are getting busier and busier with plans for the big day and are beginning to ask about tickets. T. Arnold Hill, president of the Virginia Union Alumni Association in New York, reports that his confreres are beseigning him for tickets and are planning to turn out en masse to give their moral support to their alma mater.
