At the Farmer's market John Henry saw the turkey he wanted. It was plump and sleek and he could imagine just how good it would look baked and on his table. Now John Henry was raised in the country and knew a few tricks. First, on the pretense of examining a turkey he cut the string around the fowl's legs. Then he walked slowly away, dropping, as he went, yellow grains of corn—and the turkey followed him. But alas for John Henry, the owner of the gobbler followed it. So when John Henry got several hundred yards from the market and turned around to grab his prize, he was grabbed himself instead. John Henry hoped they would serve turkey in the jailhouse on Thanksgiving, for that is where he spent that holiday.

Unfortunately, few of the literary figures which my race has produced have gone in for the drama. We have had splendid poets "It is not often that one finds people outside the race who understand the Negro as do George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward. In "Porgy and Bess" they have caught the spirit of the race. Theirs is a serious and dignified approach to the subject, and I am proud to have had some small part in the creation of the first real American folk opera—an opera dealing with my people.

(From the Brooklyn Eagle) Take the pain out of the dentist's drill and the human race of the future will have better teeth. Such was the reaction of some outstanding Brooklyn dentists last night to the announcement from Columbia last week that Dr. Leroy L. Hartman had accomplished the dream of all dentist-chair sugerers—the discovery of a substance which would remove the discomfort from the hot grinding of the drill. All the dentists questioned were optimistic concerning the effectiveness of the new substance, basing their beliefs on the reputation and past accomplishments of Dr. Hartman. All agreed that if it worked, it would bring about one of the greatest advances in dental history. "It would revolutionize dentistry," said Dr. Joseph Burgun, past president of the Second District Dental Society and past president of the Brooklyn Dental Society. "Fear of pain is what keeps most people away from their dentists today. Take away that fear and people will be more careful about taking proper care of their teeth. As a result the people of the future will have better teeth, eliminating much of the false teeth and bridge-work which are necessary today." Dr. Burgun said he had known about the discovery for the past year and had "every confidence it will work." He praised Columbia for the deep secrecy with which it has surrounded the discovery in order to protect it from hands which might try to exploit it to the disadvantage of the general public. Hailed as Great Advance "If effective, it will be one of the greatest, if not greatest advance in the dental profession in the past 100 years," declared Dr. C. Raymond Wells, past president of the Second District Dental Society. "Not only would it eliminate the dread of discomfort that now leads people to neglect their teeth, but it would also enable the dentist to do better and more efficient work. "For one thing it would keep the patient quiet. Also it would remove the sympathy for the sufferings of the patient which every 'NIGGER' RECORD BARRED FROM A'R A phonograph record which contained a song with the word "Nigra" in it will be beamed from the air, according to the program director of Station WOL.

Dentists have to have work done on their own teeth sometimes and as a result are unwilling to cause any patient pain." Dr. Wells said he had discussed the discovery with Dr. Hartman and that he believed the professor had in all probability hit upon a practical, well-worked-out and scientifically studied desensitizer.

The girl's name was Polly and the boy's name was George. This boy and girl were alone in the house. Their father and mother had gone to see Uncle John. A man had come for them in an automobile that afternoon and had said that Uncle John was very ill and needed them. So they went away in a great hurry. Just as they were leaving, mother said, "I don't know when we shall come back. We may have to stay all night. If you don't want to be alone in the house, ask Mrs. Smith or one of the Walker boys to come over." George said, "I'm not afraid." So mother and father went away. That night when the children were getting ready for bed they heard something go tap, tap, tap. "What is that?" cried Polly who was very frightened. They tipped-toed down the steps to the room and saw nothing. Back they went up the steps shaking all over with fright. Soon they heard the noise again, tap, tap, tap, and it sounded like it was in the stove Tap, tap, tap, nearer and nearer it came-Tap, tap, tap. "It must be a goblin," said Polly. "Oh, George, I am so frightened." Tap, tap, tap, it was almost in the room. Polly ran and hid behind the bed. "Ha, ha," laughed George. "Polly. just come and look at your old goblin." Polly crept out to look and what do you think the goblin was? Just a dear little bird. Helen Crosby POET'S CORNER IF I WERE SANTA'S CHILD If I were Santa's little child.

Christopher started out on the road one summer to make some money to carry them thru the winter and "Secret" went along. They joined a traveling dog and pony show, and Christopher discovered that "Secret" (whose name was changed to Mr. Tidy Paws for performances) could dance jiggs and do all kinds of tricks which delighted the children so much they followed the show along the road from place to place—just to watch Mr. Tidy Paws perform.

SICKNESS AND DEATH RATE HIGH AMONG WOMEN Whatever affects women in general, should be of interest to colored women in particular. It is advisable that we keep abreast with all phases of activities of women here in America. It is of interest to all when Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins declares, in making public a report of the women's bureau, that sickness and death rates are higher among industrial workers than among the rest of the population. Approximately one in 50 of all industrial workers, on an average at all times, are unable to work because of illness, and each year more than one-eighth of all workers suffer one or more illnesses that disable them for a week, the report said. In 1933 alone the economic loss resulting from the one and a quarter million industrial accidents to men and women workers in the United States is estimated by authorities at well over half a billion dollars. The facts are presented in a bulletin entitled "The Health and Safety of Women in Industry," issued by the women's bureau. sun by the women's bureau. The bulletin stresses the problems from the viewpoint of women, in line with the women's bureau function of formulating standards for the employment of women in industry, to promote better protection of their interests and to serve as a guide to the different groups concerned with such problems. Many of the factors responsible for the disproportionate amount of sickness and fatalities are preventable, and would disappear were industry generally to adopt more adequate standards of working conditions, it is pointed out. Though the women's bureau does not advocate that its recommended standards be considered only to women, it maintains that they should apply especially to women. All factory conditions bear particularly heavily upon women, and good working conditions, hours and wages have a more important relation to their health. For example, long factory hours are less serious for the man who is through work when he leaves his job at night, than for the woman, who in many cases has several hours of housework to do after she gets home. "While many employers, realizing that healthy workers constitute a valuable asset, co-operate willingly to attain this end, such practice unfortunately is far from universal," the report states. "To secure widespread adoption of adequate standards of health protection in industry, state legislation and enforcement are necessary. That more extensive legislative protection exists for women than for men, is due largely to the fact that the entire program for the regulation of hours, wages and conditions of work for women in industry is based upon the power of the state to protect health and recognition by the courts of the special significance to general welfare of the health of women, combined with the more serious M. REV, MISS RUTH LACY, of Pittsburgh, who conducted a religious campaign at St. Mary Church, 4th and Wharton Streets, Personal Hints Do you want to be really smart and really warmish these cool clear days? Get a snappy looking wool frock. A good looking black . . . A mad plaid . . . A sophisticated green . . . A soothing blue . . . An autumn brown. All so dashing, well, I find it terribly hard. Accentuate your grey suit and your black suit with a vivid russet tan, the combination is delightfully pleasing! --- Your simplest dress can be changed into a half dozen. If it is an unbuttoned front wear a faggot-tied pique vestee. A printed neckerchief fastened with a ring slide. Snow white pique collar and cuff set bowed over daintily. A rat-catcher velveten collar and belt in the most stimulating shades. A novelty briarwood (pipewood) bracelet clips. A silver or gold metal linked bracelet and necklace --- The new fall hosiery colors are tempting! Cooperite, a glowing shade to wear with almost everything. For evening wear I recommend brunette and senorita. A rich soothing wine, dark green, the faithful navy tones add a twang to the cool crisp autumn days. The same colors are in lilie for country sportwear. And the silk and wool stockings, a gay green for the browns, rusts and greens... clear as wine red with grey, wine or tan tweeds. **** Formal accessories positively dazzle the eyes! One can't look affected or over dressed because this is the season of joyous gaiety and dramatic effects. Which do you prefer? Exotic French flowers of vivid colors and metal leaves.

All very very sumptuous! * * * * If you have a craving for enormous pocketbooks. And they are nifty, too. Carry it by the handle or with the handle slipped over the forearm. It is off date to tuck it under the arm as of old. effects upon them of low standards." In accordance with this legal sanction of such legislation, laws of one sort or another affecting conditions under which women may be employed have been enacted in every state in the Union, the report reveals. These laws vary in different states, ranging all the way from a careful regulation of hours and wages and a very definite supervision and control of working conditions in each states as Oregon, New York, California, Wisconsin and Massachusetts, to the simple requirement of seats for workers in Florida, West Virginia and Iowa. No two states have the same regulations. Because of this variation in state protection of the health and safety of women workers, the formulation of definite standards which are fundamental and that apply to all industries, regardless of geographic location, has been an important contribution of the women's bureau. Among these standards as briefly summarized in the new bulletin are the following: the provision for a work day of not more than eight hours, including rest periods; at least one and one-half days off in the week; no night work, an adequate wage based on occupation and not on sex or race to cover the cost of healthful and decent living and to allow for dependents; cleanliness, good lighting, proper heating and ventilation; a chair for each woman, an built on posture lines and adjusted to both worker and job; pure and accessible drinking water; adequate service facilities, and no work to be given out to be done at home. An amplification of these and other health and safety standards formulated by the women's bureau, together with a summary of the best accepted practices, constitutes the bulk of the material included in the new bulletin.

Converse with the ignorant as well as with him that is educated." **** "Do not terrify the people, for if thou dost, God will punish thee. If any man saith that he is going to live by these means. God will make his mouth empty of food. If a man saith that he is going to make himself powerful thereby, saying 'I shall reap advantage, having knowledge,' and if he saith 'I will beat down the other man,' he will arrive at the result of being able to do nothing." "If thou hast become a great man, having once been a poor man, and hast attained to the headship of the city, study not to take the fullest advantage of thy situation. Be not harsh in respect of the grain. for thou art only an overseer of the food of God."

The Tribune Sport Review WEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Brown Bomber Goes Through Initial Paces At Same Jersey Spot POMPTON LAKES, N.J. — Joe Louis, sensational bronzed ringman from the middle West who has been setting the boxing game afire with his feats inside the squared circle, began training for his first engagement of a busy winter, here Sunday. It is the third successive time that the Detroit Dynamiter has selected Dr. Joseph Bier's camp here as the site for his training preparations for a fight in the East. Louis and his party, minus Julian Black; who is in Cuba completing arrangements for his fight at Havana, arrived at Pompton Lakes late last week. A day of rest was followed by the Bomber's getting down to work for his meeting with Paulino Uzucudun at Madison Square Garden, December 13. Joe boxed five rounds with three sparring partners as he opened his training. He knocked out Vincent Parrille of South America in the second round. Later he boxed two rounds with Lou Poster, of New York. Mickey Taylor, shifty Jersey City light-heavy, was Louis's finishing-off workout. Louis prepared for his fight with Max Baer at this same spot. He had previously used Dr. Bier's camp to make ready for his go with Primo Carrera. Plan Nation-wide Sports Writers Organization INDIANAPOLIS (ANP).—Proposed plans for a nation-wide sports writers and editors conference here early nxtt spring have created such a wide amount of interest through letters received, that it seems as though the conference will become a reality. Plans will call for talks on the following subjects which will be assigned to various delegates: Collegiate Football, Track, Olympics, Professional Baseball High School Sports, The Negro Athlete on White College Teams, An Ideal All American Rating System for Negro Colleges, Standards For All-American Selections, Breaking Down Interracial Barriers, Professional and Amateur Boxing, Negro National Baseball League, etc. Manager of K.

HARRIISBURG, Pa. — Twenty years of "doctoring" players on the local high school sports teams has been completed by Dr. Charles H. Crampton 'Doc' Crampton started his activities in 1916 at the old Tech High School. When Tech went out of existence "Old Doc" chose William Penn High School sport followers as his collective protege. Dr. Crampton does not receive any monetary reward for his duties. The collegiate and scholastic seasons are finished. But the sandlot campaign leaves time for some of the outfits to balance their gridiron books. SA M SAYS: Football in the nation's capital took a decided drop during the season just closed, what with only the Armstrong High School team among the scholastics sporting a record worth its salt. Collegiate football in Washington reached a new low. Howard University experienced its most disastrous season in years. The Bisons went worse than they have gone in the long history of internal friction at the institution. Only victories over the most mediocre of opposition is shown in the Blue and White season record. Howard gained decisions over the Miner Teachers' College and Cheyney Institute aggregations in her two first games of the schedule. After aggregations in her two first games of the schedule. After that, however, the Bisons found victory a most elusive proposition. The other D.C. collegiate outfit, the Miner Teachers, scored over Cheyney and Fayetteville Normal, while bowing to, among other lowly aggregations, the up and down Dover State Teacher eleven. In scholastic circles, only the Orange and Blue of Armstrong maintained its place in the sun. The Generals went through their season undefeated and untied. In addition to copping the local scholastic title, the Technites finished atop the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference. Armstrong beat the Douglass High School footballers, who finished second to them in the conference, by the decisive margin of 19-0. Dunbar, though going through a tough season with her opposition, played inspired football to score a moral victory over her traditional Armstrong rivals. The Poets led the more favored Generals throughout the first half of the game, and subsequently bowed by the scant margin of 14-13. The Crimson and Black gridders counted wins over only the National Training School and Cardozo High School gridders. The latter institution, Cardozo, probably suffered as none of the other sufferers suffered. The Purple and White went through the season without once crossing the opponents' goal line. The Clerks closed their season without a victory and without gaining so much as a tie. Among the independents, the Yellowjackets appeared to fare no better than did the Washington representation in the collegiate or scholastic divisions. Other local teams no longer feared the Stingers and as a result when they encountered outfits in the District Semi-pro and Sandlot Leagues, the 'Jackets were not conceded victory before the first kick-off. No little difficulty was encountered, therefore, as the one time semi-pro champions faced city and out of town opposition. The score the Yellowjackets acquired over the Baltimore Royal aggregation was a most unfortunate one. Witnesses agreed that the visitors outplayed the locals in every department of the game, and lost only because of a break the Jackets seized upon early in the fray.

Ethiopian Counsel Thanks North Carolinians WINSTON-S.LEM, N.C. (ANP) A letter received here last week from John H. Shaw of New York, Consul-General of Ethiopia in America, thanked the Ethiopian Relief Corporation, of this city, for their plans to raise funds and supplies for wounded and destitute Ethiopians. Mr. Shaw's letter said: "Perhaps I need scarcely mention, because I feel' sure, your efforts in this campaign will be conducted with the utmost dignity to yourselves, and thus preserve the honor, pride and courage of the Ethiopian empire, which hhe Emperor has so often demonstrated in his many serious speeches," Shaw's letter read. "My government is greatly in need of medical supplies and medical equipment, also doctors and male nurses to administer aid to the sick and wounded soldiers. We have no government funds available for this purpose, herefore, anything you can do towards rendering such aid, will be deeply appreciated." Oklahoma's "Scottsboro Case" Begun Monday OKMULGEE, Okla. (ANP) Yesterday, (Monday, December 2) saw the start of a new battle by Jess Hollins to regain his freedom in what has become known as "Oklahoma's Scottsboro case." Hollins was arrested in 1931 charged with raping Alta McCullom, a white girl. He was granted a retrial by the United States Supreme Court on the same grounds as those used as a basis for the Scottsboro reversals—that Negroes were discriminated against on both grand and petit juries here. Court Outlaws Housing Segregation in Oklahoma OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla..-The two-year fight of the Oklahoma City N.A.A.C.P. branch, supported by other citizens, against the residential segregation ordinance passed here in 1933 was won this week when the Oklahoma supreme court declared the ordinance violated the 13th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution. The ordinance was similar to those attempted in many southern communities about twenty-years ago, but which were then declared illegal in a decision secured from the United States Supreme Court by the N.A.A.C.P. in a case arising in Louisville, Ky. Ardmore. Okla. Forms NAACP Branch ARDMORE. Okla.—With 71 charter members, three of them white, a branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was organized here last week by William Pickens, director of branches, now on a tour of the Southwest.

(Special to the Tribune) HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania motorists have been warned that they must lower their headlights when approaching another car on the highways at night or pay a fine of $10. A new law approved by the recent session of the Legislature provides the regulation. Motorists were likewise warned to get their 1936 tags early and not try to obtain cut-rate license plates from other states. The saving from use of an out-of-the-State license by a resident may result in fines totaling $45. CONVICT PHYSICIAN IN INSURANCE RACKET MEMPHIS, Tenn. (ANP)—Dr J W. Beckett was found guilty by a federal jury here Friday on two indictments charging mail fraud and conspiracy in connection with a scheme whereby some $2.000 was collected from the Metropolitan Insurance Company on the supposed death of Bud Gibson, later discovered to be alive. Dr. Beckett had been found guilty on eight other counts last week, but sentence had been held up, due to a motion by his attorney, J. T. Settle, to declare a mistrial. The motion was based on faulty wording of the verdict. Dr Beckett's case is but one of several which have been instituted against a group said to have been operating the racket. Trials against Dr. B, D. Harrell and Dr. A. Ross are scheduled to come up later. Thomas Yarbrough, white, former Metropolitan agent and Mrs. Amanda Smith, a colored woman, pleaded guilty and turned state's evidence. They will be sentenced at the same time Dr. Beckett's sentence is pronounced, next Tuesday. North Carolina School RALEIGH, N. C.-Many principals from various sections of North Carolina are expected to attend the second annual personal conference of high school principals of North Carolina to be held at Shaw University December 6, 7 and 8. Requests for reservations have already been received at Shaw by Dean John T. Tilley, secretary of the executive committee of the conference. The philosophy and technique of vocational guidance, the occupational system as it relates to the Negro, vocational guidance in North Carolina high schools and related subjects will be discussed by individuals outstanding in the field of personal counseling and vocational guidance. "Prays" But Cash Disappears; Seek Con Woman HOUSTON, Tex. (ANP) — Mrs. Annie Holley is a good Christian, she says, but when a white woman came to her home and "prayed" over some money which vanished when the white woman left, she sort of lost her religion for a minute. And as a result police are seeking the "con" woman, who is said to have robbed other people with similar acts. Mrs. Holley told police Friday, that the woman came to her home at 1714 Edwards Street and told her that "something awful" was going to happen to Mrs. Holley's husband. Then the woman told Mrs. Holley that the terrible misfortune to her mate could be avoided if Mrs. Holley would let her pray over her money. "I didn't want to do that." Mrs. Holley said. "I had $55 hid away in one of my pillows and when this woman told me that I had money in a pillow I believed she must really be a fortune teller." So, Mrs. Holley let the woman go into the bedroom where the money reposed After a while the woman came out. She warned Mrs. Holley not to touch the pillow for three days or her husband would lose a leg. At the end of three days, Mrs. Holley looked for her money and it was then that she lost her religion for a minute, for her money wasn't there. Defense Funds Needed For Miss. Torture Case For Miss. Torture Case NEW YORK—The sensational Mississippi torture case, in which three sharecroppers, Ed Brown, Yank Ellington, and Henry Shields, are appealing from the e i r death sentence to the United States Supreme Court, is in desperate need of funds, according to an appeal broadcast today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The three sharecroppers, of Kemper County, Mississippi, were convicted last year after being brutally tortured in order to force "confessions" from them. All three were beaten with heavy straps containing studs and buckles, and Ellington, in addition, was strung up by the neck and permanently injured. The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, but one of the justices, in a dissenting opinion, called the torture "unbelievable" and characterized the case as "worse than the Scottsboro cases." at Y.M.C.A.

SELL THE TRIBUNI ```markdown ``` BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL 5-Year Program is Aim of Urban League Says Eugene Kinckle Jones At Convention Held in New York Good Will and Co-operation Stressed by Gov. Lehman NEW YORK—Telling a group of prominent citizens gathered here from all sections of the country to pay tribute to the twenty-fifth anniversary of the National Urban League, that no society can ever continue to exist with unassimilated minorities, Herbert H. Lehman, governor of the State of New York, paid a glowing tribute to the officers of the league for their efforts to develop the country into an "inter-racial consciousness." "Not only in New York but all over the country you have developed inter-racial consciousness. . . and have helped to interpret one part of a United State that has been called the great melting pot because we have always had perhaps only a subconscious realization that no society can ever continue to exist with unassimilated minorities that democracy must be economic and social as well as political, and that equality of opportunity for all is an ideal which requires militant vigilance to sustain it," the Governor said. Good Will Urged Laying stress on the number of Negroes he has appointed to important positions in the State of New York, Governor Lehman said that the Negro had a right to expect and demand recognition in the State and Federal government. From this trend, he said, should develop leadership that is articulate and constructive. "No leadership will be real or permanently helpful that is not willing to recognize there must be interpretation and often reeducation on both sides of any interracial relationship, that nothing can take the place of good will and genuine desire, to achieve real cooperation," he said. "It has been increasingly evident, however, that public agencies cannot alone deal successfully with the vast and complex problems which we as a nation must face. In the past and present, and as far as I can see in the future, the private agency must continue to function in various fields of social endeavor. Especially I believe this to be true in the very difficult field of race relations. "There is no more important work to be done if America is to achieve a real and lasting democracy than that of bringing about better relations between various racial groups. For a quarter of a century the National Urban League has made this goal the ultimate object of all its efforts. It is a noble work and deserves the support of all citizens who desire that in this, our country, the spirit of brotherhood shall finally prevail," the Governor said, in concluding his address. odicals. "Twenty-five years ago a Negro in a legislative hall or in an administrative governmental position—federal, state or municipal—was a sport. Today with hundreds of such places of recognition we are impatient because the number is not much larger." Numbers Men Hide As Newspaper Digit Wins Half Million Budget Is Plan of Body in Twentyfifth Anniversary By FREDERICK S. WEAVER Staff. Correspondent NEW YORK — Commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the National Urban League, more than 500 leading citizens of the United States, in every walk of life, gathered at the Manhattan Grill in down-town New York, Tuesday night, to bid "bon voyage" to the league as it launched into its second twenty-five-year period. Speaking on the subject, "After Twenty-five Years, What?" Dr. Eugene Kinkele Jones, who has piloted the organization since its beginning, declared that the league would cling to its same program, believing that the program is right, that the public will support it and that its objectives must and shall be attained if America is to realize its ideals. 5-Year Program "We begin tonight to plan for our next five years' work by adopting a $500,000 five year budget, $35,000 annually, to meet the current obligations and to allow for expansion and $25000 to establish a permanent Ruth Standish Baldwin Fellowship Fund in honor of our most beloved founder whose far-seeing mind nurtured by an underlying devotion to her fellows made this organization possible." Dr. Jones announced. From a position in which there could be found no trained Negro social workers and few competent stenographers, the Urban League has arrived at the stage in which its movement alone employs 350 trained social workers and clerical force, to say nothing of the hundreds of similarly trained personnel in other agencies, public and private, the speaker brought out. Death Rata Reduced Twenty-five years ago the Negro death rate was 39.2 per thousand throughout the nation at large. Negro youth had no organized athletic or recreational facilities. Seldom did one hear of Negro boys participating in feats of athletic skill. Today the general death rate has fallen to 16.8 and the whole nation takes pride in the unusual records of physical accomplishments of Negroes on track, on athletic field and in the squared circle, Dr. Jones pointed out. "Twenty-five years ago Negro illiteracy was 30.4 per cent. Now it is probably less than 15 per cent (it was 16.3 per cent in 1930) and we see such surprising records as a lower illiteracy among Negroes than among whites in such widely separated communities as Boston, New York City, Gary, Indiana, and Chicago—evidence of the environmental factor in group and individual intelligence. Forging Ahead "Twenty-five years ago there were practically no Negro world renowned or nationally known artists, actors or writers. Today our singers and actors appear on screen and radio and attract overflow audiences to our music halls and theatres and our writers and artists hold lucrative contracts with popular magazines and peri- CCC BOYS EAT 44 CARLOADS OF TURKEYS Enrollees Given Cranberry Sauce and All of the "Fixings" A total of 874,000 pounds of turkey was purchased by the Quartermaster Corps of the U.

The aggregate figure is based upon a ration allowance of 28 ounces of undrawn turkey per man. War Department officials estimate that it would require 44 average-sized refrigerator cars to transport the turkey selected for the CCC Thanksgiving dinners to the camps In addition to turkey, many other items were included in the camp menus, such as oysters, cranberry sauce, apple sauce, sweet potatoes, peas, corn; Irish; potatoes, celery, pickles, olives, cakes, mince, apple and pumpkin pies, nuts, candies, cigars, cigarettes, and coffee Many of the camps are planning special features of entertainment. Orders were issued by the War Department to all corps area commanders authorizing them to grant specif' leave with pay to CCC enrollees on Thanksgiving Day.

Va.—Delegates to the General Conference of the A.M.E. Church from the Third Episcopal District met here in full force, only two out of the forty being absent. Among other business transacted, they unanimously endorsed Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr. president of Willberforce University as their choice as a connectional candidate for the bishopric. The Rev. J.

Five College Presidents on Shaw University Anniversary Program Tuskegee President Urges Union to Gain Negro's Desired End By FREDERICK S. WEAVER Staff Correspondent NEW YORK—Calling upon all organizations and programs, which are pointing toward the socioeconomic adjustment of the Negro, to join hands in a closely integrated program that will eliminate duplication of effort and will with a minimum of lost motion attain through the irresistible strength of combined and harmonious action, the goal which we all seek, Frederick D. Patterson, president of Tuskegee Institute, addressed the twenty-fifth anniversary dinner of the National Urban League at the Manhattan, here in New York, Tuesday night. The young Tuskegee president paid tribute to the Urban League for securing employment and adjustment by serving as a placement bureau; defending and insisting upon the Negro's right to man the responsible positions in institutions established for his benefit; for the inauguration of new institutions of services; for insisting upon memberships on boards designed to secure for the Negro economic justice, and for the promotion of social service through the granting of fellowships, and called upon all in his presence to join with the league for the continuation of their program. Urgens United Action "Unless all nations . . and all groups approach their problems of adjustment with an attitude of mutual consideration and regard, the clash of adjustments will be just as inevitable as the consequent suffering that will result from these clashes. All agencies looking to the adjustment of the Negro in American civilization have this fact to face while they deal with the immediate and poignant problems which are and have been as distressing to efforts made in behalf of a socio-economic program of adjustment," the educator said. Racial institutions should likewise cooperate in facilitating adjustments in industry, the group was told. This should be done by keeping programs of instruction up to date by insisting upon the thorough development of all qualities requisite in these to be employed, Dr. Patterson said. "I am convinced that capable instructors with vision should be able to point out new avenues of opportunities for well trained graduates. In this there is likewise abundant opportunity for cooperation with social service agencies in helping these young people to get started. "There is in my opinion in every major Southern city and perhaps in many cities outside of the South, opportunity for at least two persons well trained in landscape architecture," the speaker said. Placing stress on the importance of conducting business cooperatively, the speaker declared that there was no reason why cooperatively owned grocery stores should not be successful in any city boasting a Negro population. "We have entirely too few restaurants owned and operated by Negroes that are worthy of the name. We not only need to de- RALEIGH, N.C.-Presidents of five leading Negro colleges and two other prominent educators were the principal speakers Tuesday, November 19, at two sessions of the educational conference held at Shaw University in connection with the celebration of the seventieth anniversary of the Raleigh school. The conference, which was attended by presidents, principals, and other representatives of colleges, universities and by several hundred prominent alumni and friends of Shaw, was the second of several events of a three-day anniversary program which began Monday night with a testimonial dinner at which nearly 50 citizens of Raleigh and Wake County assembled to express appreciation for the services rendered the community by the university. With Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, president of Palmer Memorial Institute at Sedalia, North Carolina, and President W J. Trent of Livingstone College at Salisbury, North Carolina, presiding, the seven educators discussed the general theme, "The Private College in Negro Education." The speakers were: President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University, President H. L. McCrorey of Johnson C. Smith University, President John Hope of Atlanta University, President Buel G.

Grant Took Richmond HARRISEURG, Fa. — Mrs. Alice Beverly, one of the oldest residents of Harrisburg remembers life in slavery on the planation of John Crump in Virginia where she was born 83 years ago. Mrs. Beverly has no memories of her father. They told her he had been "sold down the river." However, she remembers prayer meeting held in cabins — one room cabins with dirt floors, no windows — "we had no churches, just met around in the homes and sang hymns." Mrs. Beverly recalled. She said men worked hard and went to bed when the sun went down, to get up and start working again at daylight. Men drilling and marching in the Civil War and Yankees coming South through Virginia are among Mrs. Beverly's memories. The Yankees, she said, "just helped themselves to everything around the place, but of course we were glad to see them." The Emancipation Proclamation meant little to the slaves. Mrs. Beverly said, "They did not put much stock in what the President (Lincoln) said down where I was." The real freedom came, she said, "when the Yankees took Richmond." Mrs. Beverly lives here with her son in law and daughter, the Rev. and Mrs. Russell Clark. velop these opportunities for employment, but we also need the phyme and reason which such opportunities would give to our courses through the institution of attainable objectives," Dr. Patterson said. "The pressure of the last few years has not only made living difficult, for all, but so far as the American Negro is concerned, has brought to a focus certain tendencies which have been especially damaging to him and other tendencies, which have emphasized the disparity between his program of training and after school adjustment. "It is difficult to evaluate at as sort a range of of the plans now in evidence that are designed to lead us quickly to a new order. In the light of our experience we can point to certain specific techniques as being extravagant and wasteful, while to others we can appreciate the fact that they are unquestionably headed in the right direction. "If to this judgment based on experience we add the slowness of progress as indicated by man's past history, we are inclined to be overly cautious lest we hope for too much. We shall have gained much, however, if there is a general appreciation of this point, coupled with an effort which attempts the solution of our problems on a basis in accord with the ultimate happiness of the human race. "In the years that lie ahead it is probable that the advantage which would accrue to the Negro from the elimination of blind a deunreasoning prejudices will be offset to a partial extent by a racial solidarity tendencies which will be used as a defense mechanism in the face of decreased employment opportunities for all. A condition inevitable to be faced as long as a disparity exists between production and consumption. "In view of this situation, if the Negro as a minority group is to have his just place in the economic sun, those forces and agencies designed to secure this place must work all the more hard. A statism-like presentation of the case for the Negro must be combined with an integrated program of education that will seek both an extra and intra-racial adjustment." executive agent of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, and G. L. Washington of Institute Sounding the keynote of the conference in the opening address, Dr Johnson declared that the same reasons exist for the retention of the private college in education as existed from the very beginning and with intensified interest.

Oklahoma's "Scottsboro Case" Attracts Nation's Attention Case, Reversed by United States Court on Jury Exclusion, Has Dragged for Four Years; Editor Dunjee Active (Roscoe Dungee, editor of the Black Dispatch, of Oklahoma City, Okla., who has thrown so much weight behind the Jess Hollins case, nationally known as Oklahoma's "Scottsboro Case," has begun a campaign in behalf of the prosecution; here, we give you the story of the case up to the present; as it appears in the current issue of that paper.-Ed.) OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—December 2 has been set by the district court of Okmulgee county for the retrial of Jess Hollins, Creek county Negro, who in 1931 was arrested at Slick, Oklahoma, in Creek county, and charged with rape on the person of Alta McCullom, white girl. attention, reflecting as it does the injustice heaped upon Negroes in Oklahoma courts. Hollins, on Dec. 31, 1931, at midnight was arrested in bed with his wife and charged with rape. He was rushed from Slick, where he lived, to Sapulpa, the county seat of Creek county. With in two hours following his arrest this defenseless Negro had been stripped of every constitutional guarantee and sentenced to electrocution. Denied Due Process Hollins was denied the right to New Counsel Hollins, now in the state penitentiary, where he has been incarcerated since the trial in February 1934, held in Okmuigee, will be represented by attorneys employed by the state branches of the N. A. A. C. P. The firm of Wheeler and Brown, and Attorney Cecile E. F. Robertson, all of Muskogee, will defend Hollins. This firm represented Charlie Miller, Muskogee bellhop, who was recently released from custody following a hung jury and the belief of the Muskogee county that there was insufficient evidence to convict. U. S. Remands Hollins, whose case has now reached national importance, was granted a new trial by the United States Supreme court, following its review by that august tribunal. The high court held that Hollins had been denied a fair trial in Oklahoma courts, because of the systematic exclusion of Negroes from jury service. The record showed that no Negro had served as a juror in Okmulgee county since statehood, although witnesses testified that more than 1500 Negroes were on the tax rolls of that county. Pickens and Dunjee To Return Editor Roscoe Duniee, president of the Oklahoma State Conference of Branches, just before leaving for a 30-day trip to Texas to organize N. A. C. P. branches with Field Secretary William Pickens, issued a call to all N. A. A. C. P. branches and to the citizens generally for assistance in raising the necessary funds for the trial which will come up two weeks later. "Just Have Additional Funds "We have only $400" declared Duniee in his appeal, "while the case, before we have concluded, will cost more than $1,000. Attorney witnesses announce such brave transportation and lodging, to witness with such insistent title will be included in the costs." Bulleck Issnes Call Dr. W. A. J. Bullock, Chickasha, chairman of the Jess Hollins De- fense Fund, from his sick bed at Chickasha, also issued a call for additional funds. Dr. Bullock is infirm from a broken leg, the result of an automobile accident Halloween night. Bullock was in conference Sunday with Dean Bi- lans, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., recording the case. Four-Year Battle The case of Jess Hollins has for four years attracted nation-wide YOUNG DEMOGRATS ARE ADDRESSED BY ROBEPT L. VANN The Young Colored Democrats of America, District of Columbia division, held an organization meeting at the Y. M. C. A., Twelfth Street Branch, Thursday. Robert L. Vann, special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, was the principal speaker. Mr. Vann said, in part, "This is one of the greatest movements ever attempted by young or old people anywhere in the United States." Mr Vann also, gave a brief account of his politica' career up to the present time. Edgar A. Brown, advisor to the Director of the Civilian Conservation Corps, gave a brief talk on the present political situation and its effect on the Negro. Howard Elected Organization immediately, followed the speakers, with the election of the following officers: President, Samuel Howard, first vice president, Cicero Osborn; second vice president, John R. Hawkins; secretary, S. Frank Williams; treasurer, Reginald Coe; sergeant-at-arms, Bert Starks. A committee is to be selected to draw up a constitution, which will be presented at the next meeting. Monday, at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. The wise man gets his wisdom from those who have none. attention, reflecting as it does the injustice heaped upon Negroes in Oklahoma courts. Hollins, on Dec 31, 1931, at midnight was arrested in bed with his wife and charged with rape. He was rushed from Slick, where he lived, to Sapulpa, the county seat of Creek county. Within two hours following his arrest this defenseless Negro had been stripped of every constitutional guarantee and sentenced to electrocution. Hollins was denied the right to make bond, denied the right to counsel, denied the right to face his accuser, denied the constitutional period in which to plead, denied the constitutional period of time between arraignment, preliminary and trial. During this period, with no one to advise him as to his rights and interests, Hollins was hurdled through a barbarous "third degree' and the county emerged from the midnight trial in the jail with an alleged confession. N. A. A. C. P. Enters The State Conference of N. A. A. C. P. branches immediately took charge of the Hollins case, and a brief was submitted in the Crimina Court of Appeals by Attorney Ned Looney, Oklahoma City. During this period a statement was secured from the defend, ant turning over the defense to the N. A. A. C. P. Attorney E. P. Hill and W. N. Redwine were employed to handle the case. Gets Writ of Certiorari Following the trial at Okmulgee in February 1934, Hollins was again convicted. A case-made covering almost 700 pages, together with arguments made by Dean Charles H. Houston, representing the N. A. A. C. P., was presented in the United States Supreme court on a writ of certiorari. Attorney General Mac Q. Williamson represented the State of Oklahoma. It was at this hearing a new trial was granted. Justice Should Not See Color "The N. A. A. C. P. is interested in this case primarily because it insists that is Oklahoma and in every American court the same type of justice measured out to one citizen shall be guaged for an other," said Editor Duniee in discussing the case. "Oklahoma should not have a type of justice for black men and another for white." Hollins. Innocent of Rape Charge "In this case we have another 'Charlie Miller' problem. According to the sworn testimony of a dozen reputable witnesses, including a prominent minister of Creek county, the prosecuting witness was a girl of dissolute character, consorted with Negroes, and in many instances was found drunk with them. Personally I believe that Jess Hollins is as innocent of rape of the prosecuting witness as a new-born babe. We therefore have two battles to fight in this case. The problem of defending an innocent black man from prosecution, and his right to a fair trial, regardless of his guilt or innocence," continued Dumie. JURY FAIL S TO REACH VERDICT IN $10,000 SUIT Trial Is Result of Fatal Shooting of Youth By White Grocer A jury in the District Supreme Court failed to reach a verdict last Wednesday afternoon in a $10,000 suit against George Aed. 47-year-old white grocer, 901 S Street, Northwest, growing out of the fatal shooting, October 19, 1934, of William Green, 16-year-old junior high school student.

Aed was exonerated by a coroner's jury which, body held the shooting accidental. The case was tried before Justice Peyton Gordon, who will later get a date for retrial. Too Much To Bear The scene was the interior of a saloon in the far War, and round the table were gathered as tough a gang as could be found in the whole of California. The game was fast and furious, the stakes were high. Suddenly the dealer flung his cards on the table, and threateningly pulled out his six-gun. "Boys," he shouted, "the game ain't a straight one! Slippery Sam ain't playing the hand I death him." — Hartford Courant. Grand Master Louis W.

Davis Marshals National Figures for Conference A dinner conference attended by National figures was held at Howard University, last Friday night, at the call of John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, to discuss, with officials of the WPA Writers' Project, the possibility of the intergration of more Negro writers in the project. Question after question was shot at Henry A. Alsberg, director of the project, and George Croyn, editor of the American Guide, being published under the project, but nothing definite came from them, each insisting that complaints of discrimination must be specific, and must come "from a particular state and from an authentic source." The claim made by Alsberg that it was difficult to find competent Negro writers who are on relief, to work on the project, was riddled by Devis, who asserted that his investigation revealed that there are fifty-nine Negroes on relief in Washington, alone, who are qualified to work on the Writers' Project. Want Critic Davis recalled a recent publication by the Government in which was pictured a group of Negroes shooting marbles, and above the picture was the inscription, "Shooting Marbles is better than Shooting Craps." "Our group is interested in seeing that no future publications of the government will make such unfortunate mistakes," Davis told the officials, in requesting that a full-time Negro be employed in the office of the project to "look-over" all information sent in for publication, concerning the Negro, to guard against embarrassing and untrue statements." The blame for the lock of employment of more Negroes on the project was placed at the door of Aubrey Williams, assistant FERA administrator, whom Aubrey charged with being "tight" with funds, and keeping them in suspense as to when reduction, in staff will be made or allotments of money cut. "If you can bring pressure to bear on Aubrey Williams," said Cronyn, "in an effort to secure the employment of a full-time Negro, you will not meet with any objection from us." The conference was participated in by Miss Marion Cuthbert, social worker of New York; Monroe Work, Tuskegee Institute; Roy Wilkins, editor of the Crisis, New York; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, social worker in Washington; Frederick S Weaver, Washington Tribune; Dr. Leo Hansberry, anthropologist; Dr. Ralph Bunche, head of the Department of Political Science; Sterling Brown, English Department; Dr. Alain L Lock and Eugene E. Holmes Department of Philosophy, and Gustave Auzenue, assistant treasurer, all of Howard University. N.A.A.C.P.

The historic Thanksgiving clash between these two neighbor institu- tions from the Old Dominion State went to the older by a compar- atively close though decisive score of 15-7 Hampton's lads won because they played superior football, Union's youngsters stood off a more complete humiliation by stopping the more highly regarded Seasiders at times when they appeared ready to make the affair a bump. Union did so because her players were fired with determination peculiarly characteristic of the underdog team. President Sends Letter of Praise to Judge A.W. Scott "Pressure Groups" to Aid Urban League in 1936 Program By G. JAMES FLEMING For Associated Negro Press President Roosevelt, Attorney General Homer Cummings, and Postmaster General James A. Farley, by letters, joined members of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity in paying formal tribute to Municipal Judge Armond W. Scott, at a testimonial banquet held here Saturday night at the Whitewater Hotel, under the auspices of the Washington Alumni and Xi chapters of the Greek letter society. In response to the invitation extended to him, the Chief Executive wrote: "As I shall be away from Washington on the evening of November 23, I shall greatly appreciate, if you will extend my felicitations to Judge Armond W. Scott when you and your fellow members of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity gather around him at the testimonial dinner which you are arranging in his honor." Judge Scott was appointed to his position on May 27, after 37 years' practice of the law, and a vigorous, militant career in fighting for the rights of his race. He is directly under the Department of Justice. His chief, Attorney-General Cummings, wrote: Praised By Cummings "I am glad that the friends and associates of Judge Scott are tendering him this token of appreciation and esteem, and hope that it will prove very enjoyable. Please present to Judge Scott my best wishes for a very successful career on the bench, and to those who gather to do him honor my compliments and best wishes." Mr. Cummings added that he was "very sorry that I cannot be present on this occasion, as according to present plans. I shall not be in Washington." Mr. Farley wrote that he would be on the Pacific coast on the date of the banquet. "Please be assured, however, that I greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness in inviting me." The President and his cabinet members signed their letters personally Mr. Roosevelt was in Warm Springs, Georgia, for his annual Thanksgiving visit, and Mr. Farley has been on the west coast in connection with the launching of regular airmail service between America and China. Other letters came from Robert L. Vann, special assistant to the Attorney-General, and from Judge James S. Watson, of New York, who was prevented by illness from making one of the addresses on the program. Judge Henry Present Magistrate Edward W. Henry, of Philadelphia, was present and expressed feelings of 280,000 Negroes and many white people of Philadelphia who entertain the highest esteem for Judge Scott." Attorney Josiah Henry, one of the leading members of the Baltimore bar, brought the greetings of both the citizens and Kappa men of Baltimore. He lauded the municipal judge especially for the many times he had donated "his interest and his eloquence" to worthy causes in the Monumental City. "One of the most respected members of the bar, regardless of race," is the way George E. C. Hayes, practicing attorney and By FREDERICK S. WEAVER (Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK-Assured of technique and contident of principles, tested and refined throughout a continuous period of twenty-five years, the National Urban League will continue along the same course of unequivocal, direct actionable leadership in a program designed to organize Negroes for an intelligent, factual; concerted presentation of the grievances that beset them T. Arnold Hill acting executive secretary, said in addressing a conference commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the league's existence, at the Russell Sage Foundation Building hero Wednesday morning. Speaking on the subject, "Which Way after 1935", Mr. Hill told the conference that the league will continue to place major emphasis upon economic conditions, pointing out the Negro masses and leaders alike, the points of attack upon economic inequalities. The adherence of Negroes to collective bargaining will be advocated and membership in progressive labor organizations will be advised, rather than obsolete and politically run formations. Workers' councils will be organized throughout the country in an intensive campaign to start on January first, Hill said, making every effort to have these councils pressure groups, "the impact of whose action will make itself a factor with which to reckon" Attention will be paid to State and Federal employment agencies where policies and practices are against the interests of Negroes. he told the conference, and special efforts will be put forth to bring about a permanent relief agency in Washington to take the place of emergency relief measures now in vogue. Mr. Hill served notice that a watchful eye will guard such professor of the Howard University School of Law, described Judge Scott. "As far as Judge Scott is concerned," he continued, "he is deserving of the great honor conferred upon him. He is conducting himself in such wise on the bench that both, men who were for him and those who were against him enter his courtroom knowing that they will get a fair deal." Judge Scott Responds Responding, the jurist extolled the "high ideals" of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, summed up in the word, "achievement." He told of the high purpose to which the organization was called and pointed to men like Frederick Douglass, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Booker T. Washington, and Judge Robert H. Terrell as men of the race who had lived lives idealizing this purpose. Judge Scott also repledged himself "to be first just and next courteous" in dealing with every person and issue which comes before him. Listening to the jurist were high ranking national officers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity: J. Oscar Dedman, vice junior grand polemarch, third highest office in the national organization; James E Scott, local realtor, a member of the grand board of directors, and Dr Henry "Stud" Green, provincial polemarch. Judge Scott, the third Kappa man to be named to the bench—Judge Henry and William H. Harrison, of Chicago, being the other two—was educated at Biddle (now Johnson C. Smith) University, and at Shaw, from which latter institution he received his bachelor of laws degree. He has practiced before the U. S. Supreme Court for 27 years. Educators Present Other persons making brief remarks were William K. Taylor, acting dean; and Bernard Jefferson, instructor. Howard University Law School; William B. West, dean of men; F D Wilkinson, registrar; Thomas E. Hawkins, assistant head of men, Howard University; Dr Henry Green, Atty. Louis Mehlinger, Dr. C. A. Cornish, Dr. Wiliard Lane, polemarch of Washington Alumni chapter; Stephen B. Bluitt, chairman of the testimonial committee: Percival Y. Hamilton; Atty. A A Maney, and N. A. Owens. Also James Coggs, polemarch of Xi chapter, and Thomas Andrews, assistant keeper of records, both Howard University students. Music was rendered by Dr. William E. Taylor and Roscoe Taylor and by James Compton and John Rout. Atty. Nathan Dobbins presided spiritedly. Working with Mr. Bluitt on the committee were A. W. Gray, James E. Scott Atty Methlinger and Mr. Hamilton all of the Washington Alumni chapter. The committee presented Judge Scott with a military set. Nearly 100 men attended the banquet. The menu included cream of tomato soup, roast turkey with Chili dressing, cinnamon sweets, broccoli hollandaise, hearts of lettuce with Thousand Island dressing, pumpkin pie. measures as the Wagner Labor Bill, the Railway Labor Act, the Social Security laws and the National Mediation Board, to see that they are administered fairly and without discrimination or prejudice. Declaring that the league cannot undertake its program alone, the acting executive secretary called upon "that group of business and professional men who have corraled neither their money nor their intelligence on behalf of these basic factors involved in the adjustment of race relations," to give their support. "It is with difficulty that the National Urban League, with its prestige, its long years of service and practical program, can secure a thousand dollars from Negroes on any issue. The amount of money and the time consumed in raising such an amount equals in money the amount of cash received. "Our experience in getting the Emergency Advisory Councils for Negroes organized and from this group not a single penny has been asked—and in keeping them busy once organized, is a sad commentary on the willingness of Negroes to support a program which they themselves admit is necessary." Mr. Hill said Following the address of Mr. Hill, the position of the league was discussed in relation to the Government and its social work program; developments in the labor movement regarding industrial, craft and company unions, workers' councils, rank and file groups; youth movements. The discussion was participated in by Elmer A. Carter, William M. Ashby; A. L. Foster, Lester B. Granger and Edward S. Lewis. A conference luncheon, held at the Parkside Hotel, 18 Gramery Park, South, closed the conference. At the conference addresses were made by the very Reverend THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1935 BORAH HITS NAACP IN VOTE BID Senator Seeks to Gain South's Support By Lambasting White By JAMES KENDALL (For ANP) Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, with his hat all but tossed into the 1936 presidential ring, Saturday made a bid and for support in Dixie by iambasting the N.A.A.C.P. for its efforts to obtain passage in Congress of anti-lynching legislation. At the same time the western solon, known to be publicity hungry, also alienated possible black supporters wherever Negroes have the ballot. If Borah does run, the association is expected to launch what may be its bitterest fight in history in an effort to bring about his defeat. Bill Unconstitutional The Borah communique, aimed at Walter White in answer to a letter by the NA.A.C.F. national secretary, stated the Senator considered a Federal law to ban bynching would be contrary to the constitution. The Idahoan, incidentally, is sponsor of a resolution to investigate alleged religious persecution in Mexico. Even such a law be passed and the Supreme Court uphold it Borah would still consider it unconstitutional, he declared. He would also veto such a measure "should the unexpected and great honor come to me of being President." Letter Assails Senator LETTER Assailis Senator White's letter bitterly assailed Borah and cited the many lynchings taking place since the Senate filibuster against it. Failure to enact this legislation was blamed partially for the wave of mobbings. Borah's stand against this bill was partly blamed for its not being passed. The Senator, in view of his reputed candidacy, was warned that 12,000,000 Negro voters may swing the election either way in such pivotal states as Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky; Pennsylvania and Ohio. Borah, who evidently regarded White's charges as flippant, termed his letter "extraordinary." In reply, Borah declared: In reply, Doran declared: "When this legislation came before Congress in 1922, as a member of the judiciary committee, I was appointed chairman of a subcommittee to pass upon the constitutionality and feasibility of the measure. I spent much time in considering it. I read the debates which had taken place in the house and many briefs. I finally spoke and voted against the measure then I entertained, and now entertain, no doubt whatever that these measures both were in contravention to the plain terms of the Federal constitution. "That being my view then and now, I shall vote against such measures as long as I am a member of the Senate, and should the unexpected and great honor come to me of being President of the United States and such a bill should reach me, under my oath, and in the light of my convictions, I would unhesitatingly veto it." Former Army Cook Pleads Guilty to 11 False- Pretense Counts Isaac Brown, 35 former Army cook, who was accused of having victimized Col. Phillip B. Peyton, white of 2415 Twentieth street of more than $200 since last May and who demanded a jury trial when arraigned in Police Court November 9, withdrew the demand when arraigned on another charge yesterday and entered pleas of guilty to 11 charges of false pretenses. The new charge is that on November 1 he secured $10 from Col. Alonzo Gray, U. S. A. retired of 3001 Connecticut avenue by representing himself to be the chauffeur for the commanding general at Fort Benning, Ga, who had been here for the fiefal of his father and was without funds to return to his post. He was sentenced by Judge Gus A. Schuldt to serve 180 days in jail on this charge. The guilty pleas in the other cases were received by Judge Walter J. Casey in Jury Court. Sentence was deferred. Police claim that Brown victimized Col. Peyton by calling on the telephone, representing himself to be Capt. Noah Brinson of the War College and asking that Brown be given financial assistance. Later, Col. Peyton received another telephone call, allegedly from Capt. Brinson, thanking him for his kindness to Brown. Each of these transactions was for a small amount, but when Brown is alleged to have attempted to secure $100, Col. Peyton's suspicious were aroused and the police were called in. Monsignor Robert F.

RED STAND OF LEGION REVERSED RED STAND OF LEGION REVERSED The James Reese Europe Post No. 5, of the American Legion at its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, rescinded its previous action upholding the Board of Education in its stand to permit the teaching of facts or about communism in the public schools of Washington. The motion to rescind was made by Fast Commander Alexander Mann, of the post and this caused considerable debate, particularly from George H. Rycraw, past commander of the post who introduced the resolution and previous motion last week to support the ruling of the Board of Education. Junior Vice-Commander Albert L. Dunlap, of the post made a motion to the effect that an excerpt be published of the action taken by the majority of the post. The motion was unanimously adopted. Junior Vice-Commander Albert L. Dunlap, contended that the motion to uphold the Board of Education in its ruling on the question of teaching communism in the public school was not the intent of the majority of members of the post, only a small minority who took advantage of the situation last meeting night of the post when only a small number of members were present. It is the desire of the post to uphold the supremacy of the government and not to permit the red flag to float in the breeze so long as those who fight to preserve the ideals of true Americanism live, several members said. 9 D.

Bisons Lose to Lions First Time in Decade: Only 4,500 See Classic Dr. Wiggins Commends Health Drive by Washington Tribune Health Officer Warns That More Adequate Care Must Be Given Problem Among Colored If Disease Is to Be Checked in Washington Last Quarter Score Saves Howard from Whitewash in Annual Tilt D.C. BOY LEADS LION ELEVEN TO VICTORY Lincoln Counts in First and Second Periods to Gain Lead; Never Relinquished By ART CARTER Tribune Staff Writer CONVENTION HALL AUDI TIRIUM ATLANTIC CITY (Thursday)—For the first time in a decade, Howard University's football eleven bowed in defeat in their annual Thanksgiving game with Lincoln University tonight; as the ferocious Lions trampled the Bisons under a 14-7 score in the massive Convention Hall auditorium. While torrents of rain dampened the seashore resort, a disappointing crowd, conservatively estimated at 4,500 spectators, sat comfortably in the huge indoor stadium as the stalwart wearers of the Orange and Blue, captained by Barrington Parker, son of a Washington Baptist minister, outsmarted and outrushed the Bison horde to push over two touchdowns in the opening half, and then; like their jungle namesakes, protected the advantage with fight and might. 30-Yard Run Scores The game was hardly four minutes old when the Lions stunned the spectators with a swift running attack that momentarily bewildered the Bisons. On a fake pass, G. (Stumpy) Jackson, 21-year-old former Booker T. Washington, High School star of Norfolk; Va., circled right end; eluded the Howard secondary defense, and raced 55 yards before being brought to earth on the Bison 7-yard stripe. Jackson's sensational dash came on the second offensive play made by the Lions. J. Jackson, Lincoln signal-caller, skirted the opposite flank for six yards and a first down on the Bison 1-yard mark. On the next play G. Jackson hit center for a touchdown. G. Jackson also converted from placement for the extra point. Employing a series of deceptive Wendell Brown and G. Jackson, alternately toting the pigskin, drove to the Howard 11-yard stripe as the first period concluded. In two plays, W. Brown registered a first down on the 1-yard mark as play was resumed. G. Jackson was stopped for no gain on the next play, but the Bison line weakened and W. Brown crashed over left tackle for the second six-pointer as the Lincoln Dr. Wiggins Con Drive by Wash Health Officer Warns That Be Given Problem Am Is to Be Checkee Dr. E. C. Wiggins, past presi dent of the Medico-Chirugical Society of the District, commend ed the Tribune this week for its health crusade and the campaign to aid in eradicating disease in the city. The Tribune is publishing a Health Pledge containing 12 simple rules to health, each issue in an educational drive to make Washington health conscious. "Let me take this opportunity to commend The Tribune for the high character of service that it is rendering the people of the District," said Dr. Wiggins in his letter. Dr. Wiggins is a member of the Inter-racial Committee which was formed by the newspaper. Death Rate High While the greatest battle ever staged in the Capital to stamp out the white plague of tuberculosis continues Health Officer George C. Ruhland warned that unless more adequate care is given to the colored health problem no appreciable advance can be made in checking the disease here. Dr. Ruhland pointed out that the death rate among the colored is six to one of that among the whites in Washington, describing this as "a national disgrace which must be changed." "Reservoir of Disease" He characterized conditions among the colored population of the Capital—which has the largest death rate in the country from tuberculosis—as a reservoir for the spread of tuberculosis. Dr. Ruhland's warning was issued at a meeting of the District Tuberculosis Association, at which the annual sale of Christmas stamps was launched. Speakers included ambassadors and ministers of 7 foreign nations where similar Christmas seals are sold.

Bisons Score Unleashing an aerial attack with George Brown and LaVerte Armstrong on the tossing end, Howard threatened consistently for the next two periods, but failed to score until within five minutes of the game's end. The Bisons were given life when George Jarrrett diminutive guard, intercepted G. Jackson's shovel pass to W. Brown and raced to the 24-yard stripe before being tackled. Justin Plummer heaved a pass to Armstrong for eight yards and then made it a first down with a line plunge. G. Jackson interfered with Francis Fenwick; Blison end; on the next pass from Plummer and the Bisons were given a first down on Lincoln's 1-yard mark. Armstrong galloped off left tackle for the touchdown on the next play. Plummer converted from placement for the extra point. Fighting desperately to snatch the game away from the Lions, the Bisons flooded the air with passes in the waning minutes of the battle; but found little consolation as five heaves were grounded and a sixth intercepted. Lincoln scored 11 first downs to the Bison's seven. The backfield work of G. Jackson, W. Brown and J. Jackson for the Lions was outstanding; while John Chandler, freshman tackle from Cambridge; Mass.; Andy Gordon; Armstrong; Plummer; G.

The shooting occurred after the woman had been trapped in an alley by pursuers. The young woman entered the store while no customers were present, according to the store clerk, Mrs. Verdory Edwards, 24, white, 923 Eighth Street, Northwest. She pointed a nickel-plated revolver at her and ordered her to open the cash register.

The forum, which was being held in Workman's Circle Hall, 1502 Fourteenth Street, Northwest, was to discuss academic freedom and the Communist controversy now going on in Washington. Dr. Bunche had attended an earlier meeting at Howard University, attended by several Howard professors and three Government officials, and others. He left before the meeting was over to keep his speaking engagement with the forum, and upon his arrival found that Detectives Odessa S. Hunt and John Apostolides, white, of the crime prevention bureau, had taken charge of the hall and were waiting for members of the forum when they arrived for the meeting. Violated Regulations The excuse given by detectives for breaking up the meeting was that the organization was without a permit to occupy the building, and that, anyway, in the absence of a fire escape at the rear of the building, holding of meetings in it was forbidden as a violation of the fire regulations. Dr. Bunche is quoted as having expressed the belief that the police action was another phase of the anti-communist campaign, though the officers of the organization disclaimed any connection of the forum with the Communist Party. Major General Amos A. Fries, white, leader of the anti-red forces in the school controversy, was invited to speak, but failed to anear. Others who were listed as the sponsors of the program were: D. N. Shoemaker, described as a leader in the Society of Friends and a distinguished botanist; former Representative Jeanette Rankin, member of the National Council for the Prevention of War; Paul W. Ward, newspaper correspondent; Dr. John Gray, of the Graduate School of American University; Gavinder Jackson, formerly of the AAA consumer's counsel, and Dr. Bunche. Dr. Burche left the building and spent the rest of the evening at a mass meeting conducted by the New Negro Alliance at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, in the interest of the Equal Rights Bill for the District of Columbia, now pending in Congress. First-Aid Class Working With Church Nurses Organization The Youth Forum of the Southwest Community House, under the leadership of Miss Jane Bosfield, secretary to the dean of the medical school of Howard University, was presented an illustrated health lecture by Dr. Montague Cobb, Friday night Dr. Cobb discussed the human body and gave the students constructive information on the case of the body and correction of ills. More than 50 boys and girls were in attendance at the lecture. This marks the first of a series of lectures for the forum season. The only way to reform some guys is to slip them five grains of strychnine.

Studebaker, Commissioner of the United States Office of Education, today called attention to the outstanding scholastic attainments of the hundred or so CCC educational advisors, who are now on duty at the Civilian Conservatory Corps camps. Commissioner Studebaker pointed out that 21 of these CCC educational advisors, one-fifth of the total number, hold master's degrees. All of these educational advisers, according to Howard W. Oxley, director of CCC education, are pedagogues of what might be called the CCC out-door university, instructing particularly the fifty thousand young men and war veterans in the present enrollment. They have been awarded diplomas from fifty of the nation's leading institutions of higher learning, and have had 250 years of combined teaching experience in the high schools and colleges of the country. Six of the present staff of CCC educational advisers hold master's degrees from Columbia University, New York City. Howard University is tied with Ohio State University with three CCC educational advisers each, who have received master's degrees from these colleges. Eleven of Howard University's graduates who received an A. B. or B. S. degree from that institution also are employed as CCC educational advisers.

HOWARD (Continued from Page 1) service he had rendered." Dr. Johnson Testifies This recommendation was made by the dean in a list of eighty- five other recommendations sub- mitted to the president of the uni- versity for presentation to the Board of Trustees. Because the recommendations were made after the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees, and because some of the recommendations were considered emergency ones that should be considered before entering into the fiscal year of the university at that time, Dr Johnson testified that he sent a list of approximately fifty of the recommendations made by the Medical School dean to the university secretary, with instructions that they be approved pending final action of the Trustees. The recommendation respecting Dr Fisher was among that fifty which were approved. President Johnson testified that the procedure was usual, that he had discussed the matter with Dr. Fisher in a two-hour conference, and that Dr. Fisher's only contention at the time was that his appointment was a permanent one and not subject to termination at will. Appointment Temporary According to Dr. Johnson, all assistants at that time were appointed for one year, and the fact that Dr. Fisher's official status in the catalogue was that of assistant, implied that his appointment was temporary. In a letter to Dr. Johnson which accompanied the recommendation from Dr. Adams, the dean set forth as justification for the recommendation that the discontinuance of Dr. Fisher's service was for improvement of medical education at the school and in keeping with the school's policy to substitute as soon as possible full-time assistants for the temporary ones, and that four other part-time assistants were recommended for discontinuance the same time Dr. Fisher was, and that the other recommendations were approved along with that concerning Dr. Fisher. Dr. Adams told the court that he talked with Dr. Fisher prior to the recommendation, went over the situation with him, and thought that the matter was clearly understood at the conclusion of the conference. He said he was surprised to know that Dr. Fisher thought that malice was involved in the decision. George E. C. Hayes, attorney for the university, represented Dr. Johnson and Dean Adams at the hearing. The decision will be appealed from. Gaskins told a reporter for the Tribune at the conclusion of the case GREEN (Continued from Page 1) groes have against the Federation of Labor must of necessity be directed against a verp limited number of organizations affiliated with it, Green wrote. "The problem which relates to the organization of Negro workers and their affiliation with the American Federation of Labor is one which must be worked out through sympathetic cooperation on the part of those who are sympathetic and friendly. This can only be done by dealing with the subject in an enlightened practical and constructive way," Green wrote. It is the purpose of the American Federation of Labor to do all that lies within its power to solve this problem of race and color discrimination to which you referred in your communication, he added. Green repeatedly declared that the policy of his organization was one favorable to Negroes. Declarations of this policy, he maintained, are found in the proceedings of the various conventions of the A.F. of L. "Most of the national and international unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor have accepted these declarations made at conventions of the American Federation of Labor. They admit colored workers to membership in these international unions without question. There are some organizations in a small minority of those affiliated with the American Federation of Labor who still set up standards of admission to membership which operate to the disadvantage of both colored and other workers. "The American Federation of Labor has declared that where national unions refuse within their fields of jurisdiction to admit colored workers into union directly charted by the American Federation of Labor, they are violating the order of the organization. The American Federation of Labor itself cannot dictate to international unions regarding the exercise of autonomous authority, the jurisdiction assigned them, nor can the American Federation of Labor prescribe the constitution or laws which said international unions must apply. They can urge and recommend that national unions do certain things, but they cannot force them to do so," Green said in his letter. Referring to Davis' reference to the recommendations of the committee' of five appointed by Green to investigate charges of discrimination. Green said that the report of the committee was made to the executive council and that the executive council, on the basis of the report, made certain recommendations which were adopted by the Federation. "It is the purpose of the American Federation of Labor to carry on a campaign of education so that ultimately any discrimination practiced against the admission of Negro workers into membership of the American Federation if Labor will be finally removed." Green wrote. Mystery Surrounds Death Caused by Explosion Mysterious circumstances surround the burning of James Butler, 29, 519 Florida Avenue, Northwest, and an unidentified companion. early Monday morning. Butler died from the burns Tuesday. Death occurred at Freedmen's Hospital where he had been taken shortly after having been discovered in an automobile which had been fired by an unexplained explosion. Efforts of the Tribune to determine the facts of the accident were unavailing. Neither Butler's relatives nor people with whom he lived could shed and light on what happened or where it happened. The best information placed the occurrence at "near Laurel, Md." Laurel and Hyattsville po- nee are making an attempt to get at the bottom of the case. They reported they could give "nothing definite" when asked for information by Tribune reporters.

Roasted Turkey Some of the meat dealers have promised a blessing to the small families this season. You can purchase a half turkey. If your dealer doesn't grant you this favor go in with another small family and divide the large turkey. Dress, singe, and wash turkey. Stuff with your favorite dressing, sew opening together, the wings close to the body. Rub the skin well with softened butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper and dredge it horizontally with flour. Place turkey on its back in roasting pan. Roast in a moderate oven until tender allowing from eighteen to twenty-five minutes per pound. Continue basting every fifteen minutes with fat in the pan. After turkey has roasted one hour on its back, place on its breast to finish roasting, turning from side to side to brown evenly. By roasting first on the back, then on the breast, the white meat is tender and juicy. Gravy Choose your own kind of gravy, either giblet or plain. If the drippings in the pan aren't enough to provide the amount of gravy you need add a little water. It is better to add a can or so of condensed chicken soup. Water dilutes the flavor. Spiced Cranberry Jelly Four cups cranberries; 1 cup vinegar; two cups brown sugar; Menu No. 2 one half stick cinnamon; four cloves. Wash and pick over cranberries. Put them in sauce pan with other ingredients. Boil twenty minutes, mashing them with a wooden spoon. Press through a sieve; mold and chill. Cream of Spinach Soup To one can of cream of spinach, add one cup of milk, for added richness, bring to a boil. Salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, add the juice of half lemon. On each soup plate place a teaspoonful of whipped cream which has been salted. Pears with Gingered Cheese Six finely rolled gingersnaps beaten into one package of cream cheese used as a filling or canned pears. Serve with French dressing, the pears ice cold, on a crisp lettuce leaf. If you prefer, brush your turkey with salad oil or cooking oil or an unsalted fat. The use of unsalted oil or fat prevents the skin from having a rough bistered appearance. If your turkey is not sufficiently fattened place thin slices of bacon or salt pork over the breast. Nut Stuffing Toasted whole wheat or white bread makes a delicious stuffing. Cut the slices into one half inch cubes and toast. Allow one cup stuffing to each pound of turkey. Add finely chopped celery, including the fresh tender leaves. Then add broken walnut kernels, toasted or browned in butter. To moisten the stuffing, a beaten egg mixed with some of the liquid in which the giblets are cooked may be added but a very little because a stuffing should never be sticky. Be sure that the inside of the bird is wiped dry with a clean cloth and salted. Old Fashioned "Dressing" Take the soft part of two loaves of not too fresh bread and crumble finely. Season with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Mix in one half cupful melted butter or finely chopped salt pork. Moisten slightly with cold water, mix well and stuff the bird. Toasted Parsley Crackers Salted crackers, buttered, sprinkled with chopped parsley and placed under the broiler until they become a mellow brown. Hot Spiced Tomato Juice Heat tomato juice; season with worcestershire sauce, tabasco sauce, and celery salt. Serve with paprika crackers. Peel the onions and parboil them until they're fairly tender, Drain well and dry them between towels or cheesecloth. Then put six tablespoons of butter with four tablespoonful of sugar into a frying pan. When melted, add onion and cook slowly, turning until they are quite done and beautifully glazed. Puree of spinach, baked or creamed squash, baked carrots and turnips, raw vegetables salad with sour cream dressing, baked Indian pudding, Pumpkin ice cream pie.

HENDERSON The Eastern Board of Officials is the oldest organization of officials of athletic games among us. About 1904 a few of the men who officiated in the football games, played between Howard University and the teams of Shaw, Union and Lincoln used to meet prior to the games at the home of Garnet C. Wilkinson at 406 U Street, Northwest, this city, and discussed the rules and methods of officiating- The group now organized into an official body, numbers well over a score of trained members. At the earliest meetings were: Dr. Wilkinson, Merton Robinson, A. Kiger Savoy, Haley G. Douglass and Edwin B. Henderson. During the year 1906 this group and another set of officials frequently met to study the rules of track and other games. Later basketball became an object of serious study. During this period William Joiner, A. M Decatur, and Benjamin Washington became valued members of the group. At the call of E. B. Henderson, now head of public schools physical education, in the fall of 1932, the Eastern Board of Officials met and was organized formally. Nearly all of the members of this formally organized body are yet active, if not in football, in track and field and some other sports. It was the intention of this organization to comprise membership in the playing section of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and contained in its membership, Dr. Coppage, Mr. Anderson of Tidehughes, Messrs. Pindherughes and Gibson of Baltimore, and officials from some other sections. Later, the board took on an entirely local membership and Boards of Officials sprang up in different localities. At present there are no less than six officials bodies in the jurisdiction of the C. L. A. A. This large number of officials representing so many boards, is now considering forming an affiliation represented by a council which will work to improve and coordinate the techniques of officials. The E.B.O. has for its objects, the study of rules, the development of unified practices, clarification of disturbing issues, and the general promotion of improved officiating. It recognizes that officiating is as educational an influence as the profession of teaching, which is a recognized policy by some boards of education in large cities. The men who are so engaged, take their work seriously, realizing that the objectives to character and citizenship supposedly inherent in athletics, really depend upon the calibre of officiating and the character and ability of the men so engaged. The E.B.O. does not confuse its work to football, but trains officials in basketball, soccer, track and field, baseball, handball, and allied sports. Sections of the E. B. O. headed by an appointed chairman, meet regular in the different sports seasons and study the rules. They also, hold local interpretation meetings at which players and managers of the local teams are brought into a better understanding of the rules and objectives of the games. These section chairmen constitute the executive committee. There are two regular business meetings of the entire board, one in September and one in December. The football section is the largest group. This section holds regular meetings every Tuesday night, from September 15 until Thanksgiving, at the homes of the members. At each meeting there is a regular program which comprises discussions of problems arising in the previous week's officiating, a demonstration or discussion of some area of the rules led by a prepared member, and frequently, an objective test is given. The evening winds up with a repast, set forth by the assigned host. During the past season the program was as follows: Date September 27 — Hosts, Jacobs and Washington; quiz caster Burr; topic, Changes in Rules. October 1 — Hosts, Holton and Trigg; quiz master, Westmoreland; topic, Changes in Rules. October 8 — Henderson and Pinderhughes; quiz masters, and topics, Rivers, Referee's Job; Conte, Empire; Washington. Headlinesman; Holton, Field Judge. October 15 — Hosts, Westmoreland; quiz master, Payne; topic, Forward Pass. October 22 — Hosts, Rivers and Martin; quiz master, Trigg; topic, Kick Rules. October 29 — Hosts, Harris and Cupid; quiz master, Martin; topic Scrimmage. November 5 — Hosts, Contee and Jackson; quiz master, Young; topic, Conduct of Players. November 12 — Hosts, Payne and Young; quiz master, Harris; topic, Penalties. November 19 — Hosts, Patterson and Drew; quiz master, Jackson; topic, Out of Bounds. November 26 — Hosts, Williams and Green; topic, Pre-Thanksgiving Plays. Although E.B.O. men are found officiating in a great majority of the games of the C. I. A. A., by far the greatest good, at present of local benefits, is the work being done in local high school and club football. This work is of great social value. It is improving sportmanship and citizenship BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL In the membership of the E. B.O are some of our leading educators and many leaders in other professional fields. The E. B.O consists now of the present membership: Officers; president, Edwin B. Henderson; vice president, John H. Burr; recording secretary, Ben jamin Washington; financial secretary, Welford Jackson; treasurer Isaac N. Cupid Chairmen of the several sections: football, Charles Pinderhughe basketball, I, N. Cupid; track, J H. Burr; baseball, Vantile Harris; soccer, Welford Jackson, tennis, K. Trigg. Honorary members are: Garnet C. Wilkinson, A Kiger Savoy, Dr. Joseph Trigg. Other active members are: Raymond E. Contee, Joseph L. Drew Halley G. Douglass, Arthur A. Greene, Dr. Leo S. Holton, Perry L. Jacobs, Samuel H. Lacy, Dr Herbert Marshall, Harold D. Martin, Elmer Patterson, Harry E. Payne, Harry T. Riley, W. Napoleon Rivers, Kermit H. Trigg, Edgar P. Westmoreland, Lois Williams, John L. Young. Newly elected associate members include Harry C. Graves, William Temple, Jeremiah Adams, and Edawr Underdown. Alexandria at Random By JOHN (Art) STANTON The little colonel is back in town (Morris Murray to you) and here's why in his own words: quote: Jack when the air starts blowing into the Windy City from the lake, I decided it was more com fortable in the old home town. As most of you know Morris is the No. 1 master of ceremonies at Prof. Dove's Capital Theatre. Warren Gordon my old football team mate, of last year is now one of the local boys so to speak. It all adds up to this. Warren, who is a very fine chap from across the Potomac in the National Capital has someone in Alexandria to think about. Those of you who were present at the game between Armstrong and Dunbar will remember him as the backfield man who went out on several occasions as a sleeper. On one occasion Gordon received a forward pass in the end zone to score a touchdown. Jerome (Buddy) Ford, a local boy, was one of the outstanding players in the Armstrong-Dunbar game. Besides quarterbacking the team, Ford contributed no small part to his team's offensive. Most marked was his kicking which curbed several Armstrong attacks, Buddy ran and passed equally as well. Loretta Johnson, also commented on the lad's brilliant playing. Can anybody imagine such fellowbeings as Freddie Carter, Tony Day and Willie Braxton being worried when their Tech boys were on the short end of a 12 to 0 score at the end of the first half? Clint Ball has disclosed the fact to me that an express bus now runs from Washington to Alexandria by way of the upper road and the Seminary. I have my own opinion about this as well as you. Ralph Lane, Robert Day and company went party snooping a few nights ago but, came away with lowered brows. Reason: someone met them at the door and in a none too kind voice wished to know what they wanted. It is too bad that some people have all of the superiority complex and some not any. Word comes to us that a certain Miss at Parker-Gray, the local high school, doesn't bat an eyelash as she tells her pals that she knows she is the prattiest girl in the school. The breakfast dance at the Lyles-Crouch School was well attended. Thanksgiving. Music was furnished by the up and coming Capital Theatre Band There was an interesting night performance given by the pupils at Lyles-Crouch School on Tuesday night. Each class gave a separate performance of recitations and songs. The musical accompanist was the Miss Johnson. The selections recited by students were learned from their study of English literature. Hoggie Day seems to be a party barometer. One needs but to watch his head to tell whether there will be a party soon. Miss Erine Evans spent a portion of her Thanksgiving holidays in Alexandria visiting friends. Ask the fellows why Football Freddie Carter spends most of his time at home. I wonder why Calvin Clark is trying to cut in on Warren Gordon, of Dunbar. Doris D. would like very much to be informed of your telephone calls to Alexandria. Calvin. Boy, oh, boy, here is news. Julius Newman receives a hot news tip from a certain young lady by way of the phone in Jones's Drug Store. How news travels. Dr. Charles West, local physician, is spending a short vacation deer hunting in his former state, Pennsylvania. Eleanor Yeager says that it is the hardest thing in the world for her to keep out of trouble. Just imagine a little girl like her getting into trouble Miss Alvera Chinn should adopt a phraseology all her own. Cecil says she's old enough to talk in her own words. MRS. ROOSEVELT SPEAKER ON URBAN LEAGUE PROGRAM Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt will head the list of speakers for the second series of meetings commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the National Urban League, according to an announcement by the League's acting executive secretary, T. Arnold this week. Mrs. Roosevelt's speech, on December 12 at 10:45 p.m., will be broadcast to the nation over a hook-up of the National Broadcasting Company.

(ANP)—A way out of the present depression and how best the National Negro Business League can help in the prosecution of such a program constituted the major problems discussed at the recent meeting here of the executive committee, at which it was decided that the advice of the president of the league, Dr. Robert R. Moton, should be sought and his decision brought before the body at a forthcoming meeting. To carry out this decision, C. C. Spaulding, chairman of the executive committee was appointed the emissary to confer with Dr. Moton, and Washington was selected as the place of the next meeting of the committee. Hampton, Va. will perhaps be named the meeting place for the meeting of the league in 1936. Those attending the recent meeting were C. C. Spaulding. A. L. Lewis, J. O. Thomas, Eugene P. Pooze, Don A.

She represents just what American civilization means to develop ut of its freedom of women. Mrs. Curtis was actually the “First Lady of Our Washington,” for she did not sit and smile in condescension up- on those who might be holding posi- tions subordinate to that held gy her husband, but like the charming and social force of Mrs. Roosevelt, her life was spent in working from the high plane her husband’s x>ze in society gave to her. , Her influence amony the life-prob- Jems of the masses in this city will never be known, for she was more in- terested in “the day’s work” than in having it praised. As to her activity, as a mother of sons, she reminds us of that world- famous Roman matron, the mother of the Gracchi, who, gave her sons to the State, with the words, “These are my jewels.” She accomplished ,what so few mothers, among us, seem to do; She held the respect of her sons, despite the social distractions of the age, and held it as their counselor and friend, not merely as a sentimental “mama” of infancy, so often characetizing the relation of the boy and his mother. ; Washington has suffered a great loss. “I haven't any doubt that this coun- try is very largely Republican.

They have raised the cry of teaching Communism. It is an old trick, and is used in every social crisis. Men in all ages have paid others to raise false alarms to get the minds of the people away from actual issues. They charged Christ with inciting rebellion against the Roman government, when in reality, He was teaching the only real ao “Bear ye one another's urdens.” He did that in the midst of a system, verily like that of today, for the Romans were on relief, while the rich, who occupied the Senate, bought supplies from foreign colonies, who were forced, under military force, to raise cheap goods, Roman legions conquered, and Ro- man_ consuls. governed in behalf of the Roman rich, but the masses were Képt anaesthetized by free food and free entertainment. High churchmen, ‘who lived by the tolerance of the rich, saw in Christ’s teaching a danger tc the continuance of their fat, easy in- come, hence, they incited betrayal and the masses were inflamed to seek His death. “ Russian.

It is too bad that the time of the Board of Education is taken up with so many trivial things, that it'can_ not study education, as it vitally affects the life of the children, community and teachers for whom it is trustee. Could it do that, it would have dis- covered, long ago, that society educates each generation, and that the school is but the place for making socializa- tion, quickly and forcefully, effective, as an agent of society. That does not mean the most vociferous or wealthy group, for investigation will show that the wealthy send ther children to private schools to be taught how to continue their control of the masses. What the welthy wapt is that buildings be built and supplies be purchased to Reavis their investments with steady ‘ome, not that the children of the Masses be exvosed to socializing in- fluences. Did the Board of Education have the real function of such a body in modern society, it would see that text books gave fair representation to facts, and did not seek to make one class feel its superiority at the expense of others. Here in Washington, our children are taught nothing in their text books to lead them to appreciate the contribu- tion of others to this American great- ness. Nothing tells them of the Spanish, who were here a century be- fore the English, or of Irish, German, Hungarian and above all, of African contribution to America. Children in our schools are not told that a man of African descent helped to plan Wash- ington or that another one placed the bronze statue of Freedom on the dome of the Capitol. Just as they neglest to tell how Roman influences formed the basic law of our “Rights of Man,” and how Dutch life influenced our homes and architecture, as did Spanish, so they fail to say how words are in our lan- guage from early African influence and heroism is in our patriotic records from Americans of African descent. No child, reading Muzzy’s history, even a child in schools for colored children, would know that Negroes were militiamen against the Indians, in colonial days, or that others were at Lexington and Concord, or that. others voted for the adoption of the Constitution. Thousands of dollars are spent to teach American history, supposedly, from the angle of the “American Peo- ple,” but really to the glory of the English People, and their descendants, who compose the majority of the lynchers and mob actionists, and at- tackers upon the Constitution today. when it interferes with their method of making money. It begins to appear, that, if the text books present a truth, they are sub- ject to attack. bu if they distort it they are acceptable. Who selects text books, anyway? Do the teachers, who know what is ia them; or does some- body, who is interested from some other angle? Why not let us hear from the teachers as to the merits of the text books they must use? Why not let us hear from our own Board members on text books. we must exnect our children to study?

Borchardt, lead- ing labor teacher of Washington, and the Unit- ed States, because she did not’ vote for Mr. Davis's resolution against discrimination in the A. F of L. I have high regard and admiration for Mr. Davis's ability and his earnest endeavor to benefit his race group economically and. so- cially I bave not talked with Miss Borchardt and I therefore do not know about the par- Hieular resolution, However, 1 would not be de- cent, if as representative of the most con- spietous Negro loca! in the American Federa- tion of Teachers, I did not say that Miss Bor- chardt is in no way indebted to Negro teach crs. Up to now she has needed nothing of them, ane they have given nothing but ap- preciation of a valiant unselfish spirit, and support of such recommendations of hers (as iegislative representative of the Teachers Federat‘cn) as we deemed right. Her benefactions toward us are innumer- be. Her efforts for race justice have beer numeron. and of such charaeter as to lose offectiveness. by publicity. I have no drief for A. F. of L. injustices toward Negroes. There are however, some advance steps being made. We do not have to agree on methods of breaking down race barriers jn the labor movement, as long as we agree they must go. Nothing is to be gained, however by attacking our real friends. T am convinced that to get into the A.

Every hi Hitler Goes America pack of his life, whpther izes it kA not; Roe eee to whom they One Better ine pee behind their q ‘The instances of the Jew in Germany and of the Negro in America furnish the most in- teres:ing laboratory on race relations to be found in the world today. In America the two racer are separable by distinction of high visibility; in Germany the racial discriminant is below visibilty. There is no color line to justify German race antipathy. The Jew and the German have been in contact for @ thou- sand years with every semblance of amicable adjustment, : Bet, presto! all of a sudden, as if in a mo- ment, in the twinkling of an eye, the Teuton’s racial incolerance breaks out in uncontrollable fury. Hitler's keen dictatorial. acumen in- stinctively sensed the need of a rallying cty around which he could arouse the whole na- tion, Appeal to racial sensibility is a most powerful social dynamic, The Hymn of Hate is easily sung by the Germans who look upon themselves‘as God’s chosen people, Looking around for an object on which to vent his Teutonic spleen, he saw the Jewish race as Abraham saw a ram caught in the thickets by his horns, which he offered up as a sacrifice to appease the demon of race hatred. HITLER THRIVES ON RACE HATRED | The world was amazed at the spontaneity ‘and suddenness with which Hitler was able to ‘inject the virus of race hatred into the veins ‘of the whole German people. Although Ger- ‘many is perhaps the most orthodox Protestant ‘nation in Europe, yet amidst all of this breath- ing out of hatred and slaughter against a de- fenseless yace no single voice of carrying power and Christian conviction has been rais- ed against this un-Christian barbarity, What Germany has done to the Jew might be easily duplicated by any Nordic nation in Europe should the occasion arise for arousing the people by appeal to their racial sensibili- ties. The Ku Klux Kln in America made such an abortive attempt, which failed for a lead- er of Hitler's daredevil recklessness. | The forms in which race prejudice express itself against the Jew in Germany run on all fours with that against the Negro in Ameri- ca, from which students of the world-wide race probiem may learn lessons of deep signi- ficance and far reaching consequences. In America race prejudice takes several legalized forms. (1) the marriage bar, (2) separate schools, (3) separate cars, (4) limi- tation of political rights and civic privileges. Hitler kas forbidden intermarriage between Jew and Aryan, set up separate schools for the Jewish race and made the Jew a subject rather than a citizen of the Reich. He holds himself in readiness to decree whatever fur- ther forms of distinction and discrimination his imperious will might suggest. He has not yet set up travelng facilities, or jim crow cars ‘as we call them in America, for the specific reason that the Jewish contingent, constitut- ing barely one per cent of the population, is not sufficiently numerous to justify such dis- tinction m public conveyances, ‘There are sundry other modes of distine- tion and discrimination to which the Negro in America js subjected which have not been legalized. America contends that race pre- judice against the Negro is due to his inferior education, culture and concrete achievements. On the other hand, Hitler frankly simplifies the matter by basing the distinction bluntly on racial grounds, although the Jew occupies a leve! of attainment and distinction above the avetare German GOVERNMENT SANCTIONS INTOLERANCE There is this, vital /distinetion, Hitler has decreed that proscription against the Jew is a Government functior and its execution must not be assumed by the individual but by the Government. In America, especially in the South, every white man arrogates to himself the monitorship over the behavior of the Ne- gro and assumes the right to chastise any member of the race who transgresses the bor- der line of race distinction set up and sanc- tioned by the community. It is this racial arrogance and assumption which lies at the basis of lynching where an individual, or group of individuals. take the law in their own hands in wrecking vengeance upon the Negro who commits offense against the per- son and dignity of any member of the white Pace. In Geraiany no Jew is allowed to hire an Aryan female under thirty-five years of age as a houschold domestic. ‘The plain object is to prevent the Hebrew male from exerting au- thority and persuasive influence over Aryan womanhood. The same disposition manifests itself in America. A Jewist proprietor has been jaited for kissing an Aryan girl in his empley although she acknowledged her will- ingness tu receive his advances. All such in- timacy across the race line is considered a racial rather than individual insult, of which the Government itself takes cognizance, Hitler’s avowed purpose is to preserve the purity of the Aryan race, free from further intermixture of Jewish blood. The Nordic method in this respect differs fundamentally from that of the Latin or Southern European races. With the Nordic, wherever he is found, offsprine petween the white man and the non- white woman is relegated to the lower class of the mother's status, Whereas with the Latin or Southern Euro- veans such offspring is given the father’s status. The result of the first method js to mix infecior race while keeping the superior race pure: whereas the effect of the latter is to mix the superior race while keeping .the inferior vace pure. Which of these methods will best solve the race problem in the long sun is & matter of dispute and speculation, DUAL STANDARD | TOLERATED HERE In Ancrica the white male is disposed to |take advantage of the colored female with im- | unity. free from lexal or social responsibility. This procedure gives the white male and the | colored female a free range in their lascivious indulgence But condign and drastic punish- | ment is imposed upon the white female and the black male whose sexual inclination cross | es the rotor line, According to Hitler's decree an Aryan male and a Jewish female have both been imprison- ed for one year for illicit relationship, on the ground that :>-~ had both offered an insult to the Ayran race. No Southern state in Ameri- can has allowed its racial antipathy to go to this extent. Amerie:“is prone to condemn Germany for outbreaks of ravial ruthlee----- aeainst the Jew. But the American pot cannot call the Germaiy kettie black without expecting a dis- concerting retort * Observations on the Passing Parade By CHARLES M. THOMAS Every man has some philosophy back of his life, whether he real- izes it or not; just as ancients had their gods to whom they ascribed the power behind their success or failure, such as Baal for the agri- cultural peoples and Jehovah for the traders who needed the idea of sacred contracts or covenants. Thus today, the business-mind- ed look to money, profit or prop- erty as the god of life, while the more imaginative think of human rights and social relations between men. Those two ideas clashed at the dawn of our national history and compromise was the result. Starting with the abstract rights of man we got the trend toward freedom, but the concrete right of property soon gained control. It was just 13 years from the Declaration of Epes based upon tre former philosophy, to the Constitution prescribing the latter. The Bill of Rights was forced by the voters. Because of this clash, we find laws in all-13 original states ex- cept Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia, granting the right of franchise “to free men,” without distinction as to color. In 1810, however, Maryland joined the group of exclusives, and by 1850, it was general, and remained so until the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870. Flushed with victory, the imag- inative element again ushered in a reign of human rights, but be- ginning with a veto by Andrew Jackson, here in Washington, property rights objected to votes in the hands of those who did not have property. Even when Con- gress finally enacted a form of government for the District and liberally enfranchised the colored citizen, local people fought for its defeat, and they lost the right to vote themselves. Then as now, the records show the business men of Washington wanted appropria- tion by Congress, but did not want the colored people to vote. Corporations as Chief Benefici- aries of War Despite the fact that the Four- teenth Amendment was enacted primarily to secure to the Negro in America the full benefit of his old aid in the Civil War and to protect him against “Black codes” which had been placed upon stat- ute books in the former slave- holding states, again it was prop- erty thut reaped the rewards. The slogan, “In union there is strength,” was translated into corporate organizations of shares bought by many individuals, and complacent courts soon found such corporations to. be “persons.” Courts also looked with just favor upon their conduct as had been contemplated by those who were moved by human rights for the colored American, Thus again property won against rights of man.

No wonder we hear, “Back to the Constitution!” Thus in five generations we are back where we started, but only after a bitter experience and the loss of untotaled billions of prop- erty held by those who have steadily pursued “the concrete aim of life” as against “the rights of men.” There stands between the ideals of American society and its realization nothing but courts. Already the highest tribunal, like the old Roman Augurs, who’ used to examine the entrails of a pigeon to discover which way they shoud decide, has shown here in America, by the entrails of a chicken, ‘that it is inclined toward “property rights as they have been exercised.” The question remains unanswered: “What do we mean by progress?” Voters alone may anaes: ‘and applies not only to the person who can not read or write, but to ‘those who are untrained in other important things.

Premises, management Best NEWS oF THE NATION’s CAPITAL ITALIAN ATROCITIES The revolting details of Italian atrocities in Ethiopia are beginning to filter through to the outside world, An Associated Press dis- atch reports: “An official Ethio- pian communique charged today that soldiers of Italy’s invading armies ‘have entered convents and violated the young sisters.’ The communique, which said some of the alleged assaults on women at Adowa, Aksum, Adigrat and otrer ‘occupied cities will shock the con- science of the civilized world, added: ‘Some of the Italian soldiers are violating even the wives of Ethiopian priests.’ At the per- suasion of monks, the communique continued, natives are deserting the Italian-occupied cities, and fleeing to the desert rather than submit to the Italian vutrage. War brings suffering and cruel- ty in its train, This war, however, which was launched ‘with the avowed purpose of bringing “civi- lization” to an alleged “barbarous people,” might be expected to be kept near the humane plane jn its Prosecution, if Mussolini expects any sympathy whatsoever, even from his own controlled priests. The Catholic Church, having bless- ed the African chmpaiga, must now witness the despoilation of Christian men and women at the ‘point of the sword she upholds. wees SCOTTSBORO VICTORY With the calling of a Negro juror in the Scottsboro case, the race won the five-year fight for judical reform in Alabama. When the case was first called, Alabama seorned the very idea of a Negro sitting on the Scottsboro jury, But with two reversals by the Supreme Court of the United States, Alaba- ma paused in its mad effort to railroad these boys to the electric chair, Even the most prejudiced whites coneluded they might as well face the inevitable and recog- nize the existence of Negro citi- zens who were intelligent and paid taxes, But the spirit that caused this five years of wrangling and bitterness is not dead. Even now we hear the Old South muttering through its teeth in the editorial correspondance of John Temple Graves 2nd of Birmingham writ- ing to the New York Times, a newspaper which did much by’ its Policy of fairness to expose the shamelessness of the Southern judicial system, Mr. Graves says: “Southern lawyers with whom this writer has discussed the situation are convinced that the now appar- ently South-wide practice of placing the names of Negroes on jury rolls is legally faithful to the Point made by the United States Supreme Court last April, and that their continuing absence from actual juries is something against which there can be no recourse at law now.” ‘This comment reveals that the old anti-Negro spirit, where man- hood rights are concerned, is not dead. Mr. Graves continues: “There is no doubt of the fact that Negroes are just aout as successfully and consistently excluded from jury duty in this part of the South to- day as they were before the Supreme Court's decision. And there are enough legal loopholes and human ingenuities on hand to keep them excluded apparently for a long time to come.” It is too bad these “human ingenuities” cannot be utilized in a more con- structive way than is proposed by Mr. Graves. It seems useless to point out that it is this type of low thinking that is holdng even the white South down eee Calvin Says- By FLOYD J.

In all that vast land, of lovely climate and studded with agrieul- tural opportunities, and where the majority of Negroes live, and may continue to live, civic and social opportunity is at its lowest ebb. But civie and social opportunity pro- ceed, really, from the State Capi- tols, where the laws are made. Untill Negroes become a part of the governing bodies of the several Southern states, they will remain the serfs and despicable creatures that they have been for so many years. The Anderson victory points the way to the higher life which our increasing education dictates that we must live. Let us take heart and push steadily ahead for more gains on the civic front in the south, where such gains mean so much’ to our group. POPE AGAINST SANCTIONS His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, not content With blessing the Italian in vasion of Ethiopia, has had his representatives approach the French and British governments “in an attempt to have the econo- mie pressure against Facist Italy relieved,” according to Sonia To- mara, Rome correspondent of the New York Herald-Tribune, “Act- ing at the eleventh hour,” contin ues the report, “four days in ad- vance of the going into effect of economic sanctions voted against Premier Benito Mussolini's govern- ment as a means of forcing it to give up its war of aggression against Ethiopia, the Holy See has called the attention of Paris and London to the serious consequences which it foresees from the pro- jected boycott of Italian goods. In the view of the Vatican, the peace of Europe may be endanered if the League persists in its program to compel I] Due2 to abandon his Ethiopian campaign. Vatican circ'es believe that if economic sanctions are enforced with much vigor they may have to be followed by econo- mic and military sanctions, and that this would bring European war.” Right here we see how easily Christian principles and tenents may be distorted and even irnored when the .vaterial side of life is important. We see the head of the grest Catholic Church forgettine that “man is his brother,” even to the Ethiopians, and showing great concern oniy about “white men.” As a Christian, it is “white Evrone” he wants to have and not “black Ethiopia.” How do American Catholics, who are attempting to rocelyte Neeroes, exp'ain thie?

It must be related to the aims, aspirations, and spirit of all the people, he told the conference. Organized social work, according to the Rev. Mr. Keegan, developed out of a realization that there had been a great disparity between the social ideals and the social facts. It was begun by discerning individuals who were moved to action because side by side with progress they beheld misery and distress, he said.

Patterson, president, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, writes in Sunday's New York Times telling of his philosophy of education for Negroes. A part of the article follows: "After more than three-quarters of a century of effort on the part of institutions to offer higher education to Negroes, the aims and ideals remain not clearly defined; and if integration of those trained into the social and economic pattern is regarded as the chief criterion, the results have not been entirely satisfactory. "That this has not been more keenly appreciated earlier is probably due to the previous paucity of training of any kind, which enabled those with any type of training to find an outlet for their talents. During the last few years, however, a point of relative if not of actual saturation has been reached in the fields where there has been great emphasis. "This relative saturation has pointed out the necessity for the mapping of educational policies in relation to a program of group development. Such a program would not only offer opportunity for expression to those with creative talent, but would give definite attention to group needs and group possibilities. "A Division of Effort. "Briefly, higher education for Negroes must be developed as a conscious organic whole. Such a development will delegate to its members or institutions the function of administering specific phases of the program with a minimum of duplication. "To be effective the plan must provide for a close tie-up between educational bodies, with appreciation for, rather than a discouragement of, differences. This must carry with it a reassessment of values that will place vocational training on an absolutely parity with literary training. "The follow-through on this procedure will be a wisely conscious program of vocational guidance which will begin in the primary grades and supplant the now insidious technique which unconsciously direct all pupils toward a literary degree. This is little more than a slightly dressed-up recapitulation of the educational philosophy of Booker T. Washington, of whose vision and sanity the world has taken due cognizance.

"Higher education for Negroes, as for all peoples, if it is to attain the goal of socio-economic adjustment, must establish firm objectives which recognize that its chief and lasting value must be its ability to make its recipient more useful. This becomes all the more necessary in America, where higher education is administered on a wholesale basis, and those from even the most modest homes feel an inalienable right to it. "If one adds to this the fact that 80 per cent of the twelve millions of Negroes reside in the South—where many of them are likely to remain—the need for a functional program that will enable college graduates to return to their communities and motivate them is imperative. This idea has never been an overly popular one. but it is, in my opinion, essential and without it no significant mass improvement is possible. "If these general objectives are to be attained the program must centre around four lines of effort. I would designate these as follows: First, the mapping out of all offerings on the college and graduate level; second, an effort to direct primary and secondary education into channels established on the college or graduate levels; third, establishment of connections with the trends and tendencies external to the college; fourth, the effort to devep' on new fields and possibilities for well-trained Negroes..." Macon Hotel Steward Called for Jury Service MACON, Ga. (By ANP)—Curtis Cooper, chief steward at the Hotel Lainer here for 22 years, is the first Negro called in 50 years for service on a Bibb County superior court jury. His name is near the top of a list of citizens summoned to appear Monday for the trial of civil and criminal business here. One other Negro, C. E. Jackson, a drayman, is included on the list but it is not likely his name will be called. Prior to 1885 outstanding Negrees were sometimes called for county jury service. The revision of jury lists to include the names of colored citizens is in keeping with the recent Supreme Court decision on the Scottsboro case.

Fugitive Held for 22-Year Old Murder Charge Arthur Nicholson, arrested a few days ago on a disorderly conduct charge, was arraigned before Police Judge Schuldt Saturday on a fugitive warrant, charging murder alleged to have been committed 22 years ago in Saluda County, S-C. After searching the police record and communicating with South Carolina authorities, Detective Sergent Richard J. Cox discovered that the man was still wanted for the offense. He demanded a 30-day extradition period. Question Mark By JIMMIE OF C. Joe Blow, star tackle of the Cardozo football team, became disgusted because after walking up and down the line, he was refused a dance to all the young ladies. He was heard saying. "These girls don't appreciate a man's breaking his neck for the school which they attend. I can't ever get a dance—now ain't that gratitude." Talking about fighting over military matters, there is going to be a war at Cardozo real soon. Virginia Oliver and Elaine Chase will meet in combat over the affections of one Lieut. Col. Dunny. Col. Dunny, when questioned about this bitter rivalry only remarked, "No matter who wins I'll stay clear of both." These girls should follow the Chinese proverb.

Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands The records show that soil conservation ranks first among the activities carried on by the colored CCC companies. As of November 1, 1995, sixty-one colored CCC companies were engaged on such projects under the Department of Agriculture. Reforestation in the national and state forests came second with fifty-five colored CCC companies stationed in these areas. Forty-three other companies are doing recreational improvement work in the state parks of the country. Forty colored CCC camps are located on private lands doing levee, drainage, flood control and fire prevention work. Colored CCC enrollees in strictly Negro companies and others in mixed units are participating in the two score other ECW classifications of work on the nation's wide-spread conservation program in forty-six states, and insular possessions. Alabama Enrolls 1,200 In Alabama there are 1,200 colored CCC junior enrollees at six camp in the state with approximately 200 enrollees in each company. Arkansas also has five colored companies totaling 1,000 enrollees. There are two colored CCC camps located in San Bernadino National Forest, one in the Angeles National Forest and another in the Cleveland National Forest in California. The fifth colored company on the Pacific Coast is in a state park under the jurisdiction of the East Bay Municipal Utility District.

URGED "How much aroused the thinking people of Washington are about the danger that lurks at their doors is the proven fact that their fine capital city has the second highest tuberculosis death rate of the large cities of the nation will be measured by the succeeds of the city-wide sale of our penny Christmas Seals beginning officially today," said Dr. William Charles White, president of the D. C. Tuberculosis Association, last night. It is my belief that many more are now awake to this presence of a communicable disease than heretofore, due in part to the Health Department's free X-ray campaign, first with high school students and now with adults, largely initiated and aided by the Tuberculosis Association. But this is just a small start in the right direction toward intensified and widened circles of education and action. Our association has supplemented deficient appropriations essential to this preventive and life-saving work for the past 29 years and we shall continue to do all in our power just as long as we are needed "We must continue and increase our clinic facilities for both children and adults. We must have more and better organized health nursing in the Health Department to discover cases and follow up known cases, protecting others from infection. We should provide a larger health camp for tuberculous children. We intend to continue our educational lectures and free distribution of literature. All this must be done if the shamefully high death rate of our city is to be reduced.

AT NACHMAN'S change your payments over a —No "extra charges" at Broun's White Plume I am worried about Heywood Broun's white plume. Since I first began to observe him, when he enlivened the sports page of the unhyphenated Tribune, Broun has been in the thick of many fights and led many crushes. He always seemed to me to be a fighter, in whose character the zeal of the Puritan and the gallantry of the Cavalier were blended in precisely right proportions. Sometimes, I thought, he was on the wrong side. But his conduct under fire has been invariably smart, fair and chivalrous. That is, it was until he filed libel suits against the Amsterdam News for $250,000 damages. That isn't smart. It isn't fair. It isn't chivalrous. It isn't smart because it is extremely unlikely that he will win the suits. If he does win the suits he will not collect the money, because none of he defendants, excepting one, perhaps, has any money. It isn't fair, because Mr. Brown knows it is not likely that anything said in any Negro newspaper can injure his reputation or imperil his livelihood fifty cents worth, much less damage him to the extent of $250,000. The people who go to hear Mr. Boun's lectures and follow his opinions in public prints, thereby making him a profitable investment for his employers, are not influenced by the colored editors, simply because not one out of ten ever looks inside a colored newspaper. It isn't chivalrous, because — well, because it would not have been chivalrous for sir Galahad to point his charger and level his lance at Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother. Mr. Broun's libel suits, of course, have nothing to do with the issues of the strike. Now, that the strike is mentioned, I might as well put it in the record that in my opinion the walk-out was inopportune and unwise. If the Guild delegate in the Amsterdam News office had been an experienced union man, there would be no strike. Most of the local members of the Guild are high-spirited youngsters, who have not yet passed through the period of life when a fight is re-lished for the excitement it affords. With no older sober head to counsel them, they mistook the popping firecrackers for the rattle of muskety and dashed off in a wild charge of a light-headed bridgade, which would be amusing if its consequences were not likely to be tragic in some quarters and serious to themselves. But, wise or unwise, the strike is on. Mr. Brown, as president of the Guild, is compelled by his office to fight his damnedest to win it. Nobody can fairly censure him for fighting hard so long as he fights clean. No one can blame him for taking legal steps to protest his reputation, when it is threatened with real injury. When he attempts to dumdum his opponents with lawsuits for fictitious damages, however, he is not fighting clean. He is putting aside the courage and resourcefulness of the inspired leader for the artfulness of the pettifogger and wise guy. If Mr. Broun really believes his retutation has been injured by errorials in the Amsterdam News, something sad must have recently happened to the Broun intelligence. If the suits are only a part of guerilla campaion intended to worry and harass the position, while he knows his reputation has sustained no actual injury, something badder has happened to the Broun character. I wonder if Broun's white plume has been soiled by contact with some of the camp followers of the strike? Harlem shelters what is probably the largest and most bizarre mob of charlatans and rabble-rouses that can be found in any community of the same size and population in Christendom. To mention the Garveyites, Pan-American cranks, Boycott-for-Jobs loons, Save-Ethiopia-nuts, communists who have never read a paragraph of Marx, and would not understand it if they should read one; demonstrators against war and Facism, most of whom are born fighters and would-be Fascists XMAS CLUB SAVERS Why not make the family a present of one of our fine used cars?

Calvin Says- By FLOYD J. CALVIN Calvin Says- By FLOYD J. CALVIN MUSSOLINI IS AGING "Mussolini Is Aging Under War Strain" reads a headline. For the first time, a correspondent who has interviewed the Italian dictator writes pessimistically of his personal appearance and demeanor. Heretofore Mussolini has been pictured as a bristling, bullying, uncompromising cosloss, flattening out everything in his path on the Ethiopian adventure. Now, however, Anne O'Hare McCormick, in a wireless report to the New York Times, says: "As sanctions and counter-sanctions go into effect, Italy is quiet and pessimistic. A conversation with Premier Mussolini and a canvass of the views of representatives of sanctionist governments reveal that there is little hope anywhere for a solution of the conflict, entering a new phase with the beginning of the economic siege. Il Duce shows the effects the effects of the accumulated strain of developments that neither he nor anyone else foresaw six months ago. He seems worn, grave, older, etc. Coincident with this report comes news of the high enthusiasm of the Ethiopian troops since Emperor Haile Selassie visited the front. So inspired was the Ethiopian Emperor with the high morale of his fighting men that he notified the League of Nations that Ethiopia would consider no peace which permitted Italy to keep any of her invaded territory. "As victims of unjustified aggression, perpetrated under the most unfair conditions, the Ethiopian Government and people will refuse to entertain any proposal which either directly or indirectly would allow the aggressor to reap the reward of his crime," said the Emperor. Meantime a new name comes up to plague Mussolini. It is that of the Ethiopian Crown Prince, Asfaou Wassen, 20-year-old heir to the throne, who spoke to America over the Columbia Broadcasting System from Station ETB near Addis Ababa. The Prince, speaking in Amharic, which later was translated in English, asked that America support the League sanctions program. PRESIDENT'S ALPHABET The President's alphabet, which is a quick way of referring to the numerous new agencies created by the present administration to help remake our social order, will for the next several months be subjected to very critical review. Negroes will be asking what have these many new bereaues meant to them. Any fair appraisal must reveal many sides, attitudes, objections, and much unstinted praise to, for and about the President's alphabet. For instance, Edgar G. Brown writes entertainly, encouragingly and hopefully of the CCC meeting at Hampton in the Southern Workman. The Journal and Guide of Norfolk scores the dispensers of Federal funds in Warren County, North Carolina, for not aiding a Negro community project, Victor F. Ridder, administrator of the New York City WPA, makes Point 1 in a "General Order" read: "Absolutely no discrimination shall prevail in the selection or assignment of workers at any point in the WPA." To add emphasis to his stand, Mr. Ridder appoints a number of distinguished colored citizens as members of an advisory committee. The Louisiana Weekly of New Orleans quotes the New Orleans Tribune, a daily, as saying in an editorial headed "Give The Negro a Break:" "The Morning Tribune especially urges on the attention of Chairman Peterman of Louisiana's Work Progress Administration, on Harry Hopkins and the local authorities which have to do with the Work Relief projects, not only the desirability of employment for our Negro population but the desirability of projects which will provide adequate parking and playground facilities for our Negro cit- News of Nearby Virginia ```markdown ``` Richmond, Va. By WORTHY JONES Richmond Bureau, 618 St. Peter Street RICHMOND. Va. — The Rev. C. C. Scott, pastor of Fifth Street Baptist Church, Fifth and Jackson Streets, congratulated his members and friends for giving him their support in helping to raise $2,100 to cancel the church's second mortgage. The church was erected in 1925 at a cost of $100,000, and has housed many large gatherings. Despite the five years of depression, the Rev. Mr. Scott and his members are working to get the church paid for. This church has a seating capacity of nearly 2,000, and is one of the finest in the city. teachers in the Goochland County School, spent last week-end in Charlottesville, Va., as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ashley Barbour and their daughter, Miss Dorothy Barbour.

Mrs. Nora Carter Moore, of 412 Catherine Street, returned from Atlantic City, N.J., last Saturday. She was called there on business. Mrs Moore is the widow of William M Moore who was a letter-carrier in Atlantic City for more than 25 years. Mrs. Anna Garnett, a well-known resident here, died at the home of her daughter last week. Mrs. Garnett was a resident here for many years. On last Sunday the B.Y.P.U. of the Fifth Baptist Church, West Carey Street, presented an interesting program with the following participants: the Osgood Chorus, George Dolly and Mrs. Ada B. Harrison. The Rev. Ernest W. Jones spoke. This church is pastored by the Rev R. S. Anderson. The Rev. O. C. Knox, of California, who has been conducting revival services at Good Will Baptist Church, has created much interest here among the members and friends. The Rev. W. B.

These instances will suffice to show the President's program will be praised and condemned perhaps with equal fervor, according to the point of view American friends of Col. Hubert Julian have no grounds left on which to stand in defending him. Instead of rushing to the front to repel the Italians, Col. Julian is rushing back to Harlem, talking vaguely of new round-the-world flights. Instead of "doing or dying" for Haile Selassie, whose subject he now is, Col. Julian left Addis Ababa in a huff, talking of the lack of appreciation of his skill as a flier, and the lack of recognition of his authority as an Ethiopian officer. Col. Julian has set his American friends down. Just when they thought he would move all the magnifying statements about him fails, he does the thing that would make them appear to be true. Just when they thought he would go on the field of battle and cover himself with glory, he takes a train to Jibuti, and a boat away from the war zone. Just when they thought he would go down in history as a black T. E. Lawrence, he goes off on new imaginary non-stop flights which nobody is able to finance. So Col. Julian quits. He quit cold, when the enemy guns were booming within earshot. He is a great disappointment. One of the world's largest advertising agencies. Lord and Thomas, says in a public statement: "When executives grow old, there is danger that the business may grow old with them." Every business faces this problem. For the Life Span of a business tend to follow the Life Span of its management. Even when executives remain physically and mentally fit, there comes an inevitable 'hardening' of their outlook. The management becomes conservative, old-fashioned, definitely 'set' in its ways. In our offices, all barriers are removed from the path of talented youth. The able ones climb high and fast. The average age of our top executives is 37 years, the oldest being 55, the youngest. 30. The length of service ranges from one year to 28 years." Negro business leaders might well ponder these words from people who have made millions, and are still making them, in spite of the hard times. --- COL.

Austin, the pastor, officiating. Dinners were served at both churches all day. Among those confined with colds and throat trouble are Mesdames Sarah Kerns, Edna Marshall and Blanche Fleming. Mrs. Gertrude Brown is indisposed. Among those spending the holiday or the week-end out of the city were Mrs. S. H. Gibbs, Miss. C. Reed, Prof. D. C. Jones, Edward Howard and P. M. Heighter. There were two dances and several parties on the evening of the holiday. Jim and his Pals orchestra played for a dance in Johnson's Hall to a fair crowd while Tommy's Rhythmites played to a larger assemblage at the dance given by the seniors of the Jefferson High School in the Silver Leaf Hall. Bad weather was a general handicap. Refreshments were served at the intermission and after both dances at the Palace Tea Room. Members of the Bachelors Club spent the day hunting in Amherst, Va. There were parties on Verge, Pine and Jackson Streets and School House Hill. The game expected between Waynesboro and Clayton High School, here could not be played due to the steady downpour.

These suggestions will be presented to the club at its regular meeting, December 7.

C. — The recital of Ethel Wise, coloratura soprano and Bernard Lee Mason, violinist, at A and T, College on Sunday afternoon, before a capacity house, was highly appreciated and most of the numbers acclaimed with round after round o fapplause. The work of Julia Young Sessoms at the piano, was highly commendable. Miss Wise is a native of Washington. Miss Wise did her best work in Indian Bell Song from "Lakme," by Delibes, in French and in the spirituals, "I don't feel no ways spirituals, "I Don't Feel No Ways Tired," "On The Other Side of Jordan" and "Talk About a Chile;" while Mr. Mason did exceptional work in the playing of the movements "Allegro Moderato" and "Andante Non Tropee" from concerto in D Minor by Wienianski. Miss Wise sang groups in French, demonstrating her ability to enunciate the most difficult phrases with facility and beauty. Her voice, soft and mellow, at all times, was almost perfect in her coloration work, especially noted in the singing of "Les Filles de Cadiz" by Delibes. Gay Reception Held For Miss Geraldine Wiggins Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wiggins held a reception in honor of their daughter's birthday. The reception was held at their residence, 436 Canal Street, Southeast, last Friday. Miss Geraldine Gale Wiggins, for whom the reception was sponsored, recently arrived from New York, where she spent her summer vacation. Miss Wiggins was charmingly attired in an evening gown of black velvet, revealing a slight touch of red chiffon at the neckline. This gown was designed and presented to her by her sister. Mrs. Ethel Blue of New York City. In the center of the decorated room was a long table of the Victorian period, beautifully arranged in green, white and pink. A beautiful cake of white, trimmed in green, adorned the center of the table. The cake was cleverly designed to give the impression of the Leaning Tower of Babylon, with eighteen candles on the extreme top. A large contingent of the younger set was present in the latest fashions. Miss Josephine Williams looked exceptionally gorgeous in a gown of French tan crepe with a collar of changeable taffeta. Many gifts were received. Guesses present were: Misses Josephine Williams, Rose Wood, Clara Evans, Frances Smith, Vivian Cole, Dorothy M organ, Evelyn Sims, Mary Frances Wiggins, Merrill L.

Thanksgiving is Gone But it Was Glorious Vivian Reflects Over a Bevy of Teas, Dances and Parties and Prepares for Another Round of Pleasure at Christmas Time By VIVIAN TURNER Can you realize that Thanksgiving Day has come and gone? How quickly the days, the weeks, the months and the years pass in this great hustle and bustle of the modern era! "Time marches on," and with it many memories vanish into oblivion. Thanksgiving Day of 1935, with its happiness and cheer, is now but a memory. Churches opened their doors early as hordes of persons filed through to kneel in prayer and thank God for the bounty which He has bestowed upon them. Dinners, teas, card parties, dances and other forms of activities were in progress all over the city during the week-end. The Bachelor-Benedict Club, composed of many of Washington's professional and business men, started festivities off with a most pleasurable open costume dance on Tuesday night. Under the soft amber lights, the hall was transformed into a fairy land with figures flitting here and there, dressed in stunning and unique costumes of every description. Choruses from the public schools, Howard University and the conservatory of music will take part. The Odd Card Whist Club has added another member to their roster, in the person of Edward Jones. Mr. Jones, considered an ace card player, is a welcome addition to the club. The barn dance given by the Mu-So-Lit Club on the following night (Wednesday) was quite informal and indeed enjoyable. Full details will be given next week. Quite a large number of persons left after the dance for Atlantic City, to attend the Howard-Lincoln name. As predicted, the folks in Atlantic City are turning things topsy-turvy in preparation for a gala week-end. Invitations were received this week from Mrs. Sara Spencer Washington, owner of the Apex Beauty Culture Laboratories in many of the larger cities and one of the leaders in social activities in Atlantic, stating that she would be at home to her many friends from Thursday to Sunday evening. In addition, Mrs. Washington sends a most swanky bid for a dawn dance given by her on Friday morning from one to five o'clock, at All Wars Memorial Building. It sounds quite interesting, doesn't it? Of course, this is only typical of the way Mrs. Washington "does things." It will be remembered that a broadcast of the game year before last was sponsored by her, followed by a dawn dance at which time chicken breakfasts were served to all guests. Orchids to Sara! Other affairs scheduled for afternoon and evening promise to be most enjoyable. ****** On last Saturday night, the Kappa men gathered in the beautifully appointed Whitelaw Hotel dining room to give honor to one of their members, the Hon. Judge Armond W. Scott, recently appointed judge of the Municipal Court. With such a group of talkers and speech-makers present, it is no wonder that many of the group elected to transfer all unfinished debates to the C.P.C. for completion after the wee hours. Judge Scott is serving admirably on the bench and indicates his intention and desire to uphold the faith and confidence which his many friends have in him. Sunday afternoon was a "redletter" day for Columbia Lodge No. 85, of the I.B.P.O.E. of W., when the public acceptance program of the remodelled and enlarged home was held at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The home was crowded to its capacity and a most elaborate program was given, with Capt. Sylvester H. Epps as master of ceremonies. The home, since the revocation, is quite pretty and stands as a monument to the co-operative efforts of the many committees and their workers who have toiled so faithfully to raise money to put this project over. Everyone agrees that it is one of the beauty spots of Rhode Island Avenue. The Young People's Club of St. Luke's P.E. Church has planned a novel "tacky dance," to be given at the Whitelaw Hotel, Thirteenth and T Streets, Northwest, on Wednesday evening, December 11, from 9 until 2.

"Time marches on," and so oblivion. which its happiness and cheer, is now their doors early as hordes of perer and thank God for the bounty nces and other forms of activities during the week-end. Choruses from the public schools, Howard University and the conservatory of music will take part. ***** The Odd Card Whist Club has added another member to their roster, in the person of Edward Jones.

Harriet Pelham and Harriet Mitchell were among those who quickly hustled bits of finery into traveling bags and left for Atlantic City to witness the Howard-Lincoln game and to make the rounds of social activities.

Members of the club are Elsie Bell, Margaret Bowen, Betty Jackson and Rose Pierce. When every new plan to soak the taxpayer is exhausted what will future legislatures do when they Girl Reserves Hold Annual Ceremonial PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men The annual ceremonial of the Girl Reserves of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. was held at Lincoln Temple, Sunday, at the morning service. One hundred and fifty girls met at the Y and made a pilgrimage to the church where they pledged their loyalty as they lighted candles in the procession. Kathryn Jackson, vice-president of the Bonnes Socurs Club, led the litany of "Thanks," followed by "The Prayer of Thanksgiving," sung by the Girl Reserve Glee Club. A challenge of loyalty to the code was given by Miss Harriet Cunningham, of Dunbar High School. Rev. R. W. Brooks preached on "Our Ideals and Success or Failure in Reaching Them." The following committee members led the girls in the pilgrim- Mrs. Ethel Just, chairman; Mrs. Carlene Austin, Miss Greek Dietn, Mrs. Florence Holman, Miss Fannie Offutt, Mrs. J. W. Threlk And so the Bachelor-Benedict Dance is over. The last, low strain of "Home, Sweet Home" is now an echo. The lovely fairyland (reminiscent of China, with its gay-colored lanterns and symbols, its climbing flowers and swinging parasols) is now a pretty memory. The hundred or more members of the club (among them Washington's proudest professional, business and non-business men) have gone their sleepy way happy in the knowledge that they have given their many friends something to fondly remember them by. The last lucky guest is safe again at home with this hope topmost in his mind: "May the Bachelors never emit my name from their future mailing lists." Twas an enjoyable hour indeed. Mr. Harold Haynes, the Bachelor-Benedict's president, looked splendid in long dark trousers, white satin blouse and rich red velvet sash. And a genial "Glad to see you" expression beamed about his face. Mr. Fred Wilkinson, the secretary-treasurer of the club wore a Tuxedo, (probably in compliment to the pretty-haired Maggie (his wife) who was resplendent in black with silver sequin trimming. Mrs. Angela Bishop caught a lot of eyes bodice, full skirt, lace fuchu, beruffed palladons and everything. Madame Evanti was a grand Spanish lady in silver lace and velvet. And ever so often she cast pretty bright eyes over the edge of her be-jewelled fan to show how much she enjoyed the attention so many seemed eager to pay her. The J. Flipper Derricottes wore riding attire (and the former Elise Palmer should really wear 'em often). There were Hinds in the crowd too. And among them were Howard Law School's Dean, William Taylor. Mr. Edward Howard and Mrs. Pearl Flipper. Mrs. Ruth Osborne Davis had white orange blossoms spread all over a green and satin Chinese suit. Mrs. Mamie Simmons made a cunning Hula Hula girl. Mrs. Thelma Hamilton Delaney in a sort of glorified "Patent Leather Kid" outfit made your partner step all over your toes while he tried to get a good look at Thelma. Dr. and Mrs. "Chick" Williams made a happy coupl, of Spaniards. There was a young thing too in shorts and plain white shirt. Can't recall her name or even her face. The truth is I was doing the same thing you were (watching the girl's pretty figure). Dr. "Bob" Wilson was a jolly Chinaman. Dr. Clark Carson (looking ever so Spanish) his wife (in overalls), Mrs. Alfred Smith and one or two others felt the urge to practice a brand new dance. They needed extra space, of course. So they went down stairs to the main corridor and "trucked" Others seen in the gay throng were all around to their heart's cont. Mr. and Mrs. Louisa Vaughn Jones, Dr. and Mrs. Hamilton Martin, Judge Armond Scott, Judge and Mrs. W. Hueston, Dr. Thompkins (in riding togs), Mr. and Mrs. Talley Holmes, she a smiling Senorita, Dr. J. L. Davis, Miss Emily Minor, Mrs. Frankie Crowder; Mrs.—but to list all the "Who's Who" present would take more minutes than I have. So—well anyway the memorable occasion is over. And there's only one thing that's worrying some of us now. It's this: "How in the world will the Bachelor-Benedicts ever be able to have a "closed" affair?" For, when they announce their very next dance, friends who can't forget the joys of last Tuesday evening, will want to rush pell-mell to the appointed place without waiting to firmly determine whether it's to be an "open" affair or a "closed" one. And you really couldn't blame 'em if they did. eld, Mrs. Ora Spivey, Mrs. G. H. Houston, Mrs. Bertha Lewis, Mrs. Alma Reid, Miss Mack, Miss M. H. Morris, Mrs. M. C. Myers, Mrs. M. M.

Mrs. Louise Lovett was guest of the Beau Geste Club at their meeting, Thursday, November 21, Mrs Lovet gavt an instructive demonstration on the use of makeup, care of the skin, teeth and nails. Club members will hike to Rock Creek Park Saturday of this week for a wiennie roast. The Dunbartettes Club will entertain new club members with a tea at the Y Friday after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving baskets were filled by Girl Reserves Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Manuel Roque, formerly of New York and Chicago and prominent among the New Deal-ers has piled up a long list of friends in his short three-year stay in the Capital. There seems always something for Mr. Thomas Thomas, of 1021 New Jersey Avenue, to be happy about. He marched to the time of Mendelsohn not so many seasons ago and the smile he acquired at the time is with him this very minute. And, as if having a nice new bride around were not enough, Mr. Thomas got the news the other day that his pretty daughter, Gladys (of the Music Department of Bennett College. North Carolina) had been touring Michigan and Canada with the Bennett College quartet. Little Miss Louise Russell, warm and cunning in a brown fur-trimmed coat and looking ever so much like her school teacher Dad, accompanying her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Russell to the movies the other evening. Word comes from St. Paul, Minn. that Mrs. Wildred Salvant (who was much feted during her stay in the Capital last winter) won't reach town in time for Mr. Turkey's proud debut on Thanksgiving Day tables, but on the Monday or Tuesday following, when the last bit of flesh has left Sir Gobbler's carcass and found its way into hash or stew, and his broken old bones are simmering low in soup, Mrs. Salvant will surely be on hand. (And go will Mr. Salvant.) Mr. Stephen Bluitt, well-known man about town crossing U Street, near "Theatre Row" and four pair of feminine eyes watching him as he did it. From where we sit it looks like the many Washington friends of Mrs. Vivian J. Cook of the Baltimore schools are in for a dissappointment. They'll be wanting to ask that lovely lady to their early December affairs and she'll be so busy making way for the Philomathians she'll surely have to send "regrets." The proud Baltimore (and Washington) Club numbers among its members Mrs. Willa C. Mayer, Mrs. Vashti Murphy, Mrs. Rosa Hampton, Miss Vashti Maxwell, Mrs. Jeannette Boyer, Mrs. Lillian Brown and many others. And every one of them is wishing November minutes would fly by faster, for on the evening of the seventh day of December they will be the guests of Mrs. Cook. One of the times when we've wanted a kodah and found none around was the other day when we caught a glimpse of Mrs. Octavia C. Weddington, of 19 Quincy Place, standing in her doorway, charmingly dressed in green smiling goodby to her callers who appeared reluctant to leave It isn't ermine, mink, or even chinchilla (I know those furs when I see 'em. Got acquainted with 'em during frequent window-shopping tours, and the way things look today I'll never know anything else about 'em) but every single stitch of the pretty brown "fur" on a smart coat owned by Miss Ocea Powell, of Deanwood, was crocheted by the slim, sweet lady herself. Mrs. Oliver McDonald, whose garden won a prize in a "Better Homes and Garden" contest that was conducted out pretty Blaine way last summer (Capital Heights) opened the back door of her handsome home one night to show her guests the garden. Instantly a whiff of soothing cedar-permeated air greeted the lucky visitors, and they wished right then and there that they could bottle every cubic inch of it up and take it back to the busy city. But (and here's the point in the story). Try as desperately as she could to figure out the reason for the unusual cedarish aroma, at least for several moments Mrs. McDonald was entirely at a loss. Finally one of the guests spied a pile of fresh-cut cedar logs prepared, perhaps, for the McDonald fireplace and which the happy hostess had forgotten all about. So now, if you come across Mrs. B's husband or maybe her hired man wheeling cedar logs homeward you'll know that Mrs. B herself was among the McDonald visitors on the fragrant night above mentioned, and that she had hurried home firmly determined to go and do likewise. Sissy Mrs. Ethel Lowrey, of Washing and Flushing, Long Island in the shopping district the other day. That means that she's going to have a new—but she looked plenty sharp to us in the plain brown tweeds she was wearing. Miss Cammille Nickerson, of the Howard University School of Music doesn't believe in putting off till tomorrow what she can do today. The National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc. (of which the charming Camille is the popular president) won't hold its 17th annual session in Detroit, Michigan until August 23, 1936. But at least one whole month ago Miss Nickerson began a campaign to boost attendance by commissioning Mrs. Mollie Moore, well-known resident of Pasadena, California to aid in the roundup of Golden West musicians. Howard Art Instructor Exhibits in Philadelphia Miss Lois M. Jones, instructor of art at Howard University, is the only colored artist with creative work on exhibition at the 33rd annual water-color exhibit at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Pa. Her work, consisting of a charcoal portrait entitled "A Negro Student," will continue on exhibition at the academy until December 8.
