NEGRO GIRLS SHUN MINISTER HUSBANDS
 REPORT ASSERTS

NEW YORK, Nov. IT. (P)-Modern Negro girls do not want ministers for husbands because ''the girls would have to give up dancing, movies and card parties,' and because Ne gro ministers have much smaller in- comes than men of their race in other professions and in business This is disclosed in a report made public today of survey of theolo- gical schools for Negroes made un. der the direction of the Institute of ocial and Religious Research by Dr. Robert L. Kelly and w. A. Daniel.
 Negro ministers are not so we'll educated as men of their race train- ed for other fields of activity, says the report, and their influence as leaders of their people in this coun- try is waning. While the first eff forts of Negro education were espe- cially directed to the training of min isters and the best men in the schools used to go into the minis try the theological schools are now near ly all of lower status than other schools of higher education for Ne groes, with lower entrance and graduation requirements and con- paratively small enrolment.
 'In most cases" the report adds, ''the members of the theological fac ulty compare much more favorably with the rest of the faculty than do the students in the theological de- partment with the students in other departments" >It is further pointed out, the report states, thats if5 all the men graduating from the 52- Negro theological seminaries in the United States last year had gone directly into the ministery, as is usually the case, less than three per cent of the vacancies could have been filled by men whose combined literary and theological l training would be equiva- Elent to three years above high school"

 Old Mother Nature.
 Both Mrs. Timn1y the Flying Squirrel and Mrs. Whitefoot the Wood Mouse were much disturbed by seeing Srookv the Screech Owl around again. However. they did not see him again that night, so they concluded that it was just chance which had brought him over there. You know the Wood Mice and the Flying Squirrels pre- fer the dusk to daylight and that is just the time that Spooky the screech Owl prefers. So the mem bers Of the Flying Squirrel family and the members of the Wood Mouse family always have to keep their eyes open for members of the owl family.
 It was only two or three morn ings after Mrs. Timmy and Mrs. Whitefoot had seen Spooky that Mrs. Timmy came hurrying home 8 wee bit late. Already the Black Shadows had fled away from the Green Forest. II was quite light there. Mrs. Timmy climbed to the top of a tree and prepared to make one of her wonderful jumps and glides through the air to land on the foot of the apartment tree in

 =. The steel pier loomed largo and black against the grey back ground of the sky and sea. And here on a bench, in the shadows a few yards from the boardwalk, the boy waited for her.
 He seized Mays hands In his. drew her close to him; and simply - as if he had done it hundred times before he kissed her on her lifted lips. In the darkness, May smiled.
 T suppose this Is dreadful of me, '' she sighed, as they sat down, But somehow or other, don't care"
 Why is it dreadful for me to kiss you? You're not engaged to old Wa terhury, are you?" Jack asked.
 "Of course not. silly" May an- swered. But I'm lot older than you. And besides, you're probably engaged, yourself, 10 some nice girl or other"
 She let her voice drop wIstfully at the end of the sentence.
 There's no girl anywhere" lack began, and then kissed her again violently, May could feel that he trembled, but you! Not now."
 No girl but you" he repeated. There was 8 touch of defiance in his voice, And suppose you are four or five years older than I am I'm lot older than I seem - I've been around lot. You probably read about me and Jin Johnson in the papers last year"
 You mean Jill Johnson, the show girl 7" May asked. She seemed dim1y 10 remember some story or other about Jin Johnson's marriage 10 a millionaire college boy months be- fore.
 "Yeh. JilI and were married right after the Thanksgiving foot ball game last year" Jack said proudly. Just got my divorce the other day, Jill Has quite some kid

of this situation.
 That depends upon you" Wa. terbury answered. ,He turned sud- denly and took her by the shoul- ders, to the thrilled amazement of three maiden ladies who were talk ing their constitutional along the boardwalk. When are you going to marry me-"
 May drew a long, sobhing breath the sort of gasp that an olym- pic runner gives at the end Of a long race.
 When do you want me tor" she asked. in a tone so low that Water bury could barely hear what she said
 Today"
 "Oh, no, not today" May shook her head.
 She knew that if she married Waterbury the trip to California would be their honeymoon. And she didn't want to go to California un- til her money for the sale of the house came.
 ''l won't say q thing about it. I'll just tuck 1t away for a nest egg she thought, practically, "Twelye thousand dollars of my very own" Why it was more than s19,oo0-- for she still had 5000 In her hand bag,
 A sense of triumph flooded her like warm sunshine,
 .. She had done what she had planned to do. She had landed the millionaire husband she wanted. al- most without effort. And if she felt that there vas something lacking this natter of-fact proposal of marriage - something of romance, perhaps - what was the differcnce'
 The great thing was that she had i landed Herby, and that Herby had money, the thing she desired be- yond all other earthly things. She looked up at Waterbury, and 1 hor face glowed.
 "A week from today - let's be married them" she said. Shall VIC ,"

which her home was. Just as she prepared to jump she suddenly dug her claws into the tree and held on with all her might. And she held her breath, too.
 Spooky the Screech Owl, on those wings which make no sound, had just sailed past and had gone straight to that very apartment tree in which Mrs. Timmy and Mrs Whitefoot lived. He had gone straight 10 a big entrance about half way up the tree and had dis appeared through 1t, Still Mrs Timmy sat there staring across at that entrance with eyes filled with unbelief and fright. Even while she looked Spooky's face appeared in the doorway. He sat there for few moments, snarping his bill. With the sound of each snap Mrs. Tim my's timid little heart thumped.
 Spooky looked sleepy. He bltnked and blinked. He was sleepy. He, too, had been out longer than usual. So he didn't stay sitting in his door way very long. Mrs. Timmy saw him disappear She waited until she was quite certain that he wasn't likely 10 be seen again. Then she jumped and glided down to the foot of the apartment tree. Her home was around on the other side and you should have seen how quickly she dodged around that side after aliEhting on the trunk at the end of her long glide. You see, she was fearful that the little thump she made in landing might be heard by Spooky.
 Mrs. Timmy started up ths tree. As usual she started to pass close to the entrance of Mrs. Whitefoot's home. Mrs. Whitefoot was nowhere to be sean. Mrs. Timmy squeaked softly. Mrs. Whitefoot popped her head out.
 My goodness. Mrs. Timmy whatever ails you?" squeaksd Mrs Whitefoot. You look as If you had seen something shocking"
 T bava" whispered Mrs. Timmy

 May laughed. "Are you trying to make me jealous of a chorus girl 2" she asked cheerfully.
 NO, but I want to give you the low-down on this kid. In his nice. easy-going way he's vlclous," Wa terbury answered.

 Jack DarnIey rose politely, and with round eyes of astonishment stood watching the pair leave the dining room. At the door May turn. ed slightly, and over her shoulder she threw him a smile.

He turned toward May again, held her close in his muscular young arms, and bent her head far back with the violence of his kisses.
 You don't mind If I do this. Do you?" he whispered, Because l can't help it! You're the sweetest thing"
 He kissed her again.
 But suddenly May pulled away from him, She gave little shud- der. Ugh, You've been drinking." she cried, T can smell whiskey on your breath"
 Jack laughed. Just a drop be- fore dinner, little Sunday school teacher" he said. And what of it, anyway? Everybody drinks nowa- days"
 Don't you worry about me-Ive been on some pretty good stew par ties in my time" he went on with d sad-dog air, And I must say I can carry my liquor without mak- ing too big fool of myself"
 "You're a regular man Of the world, aren't you?" May asked with cutting humor, and was sorry at once. For she saw that she had hurt his feelings.
 No. l really meant that" she hastened to say. You really are, for such a young kid"
 Young kid, yourself!" Jack s voice came out of the darkness, re- se1tfully. Ill bet when 1t comes to actual experience, I'm ten years older than you, easily"

 She saw the start of surprise he gave as his eyes fell upon them. as they walked slowly to table in the corner. She pretended not to see him.
 But she vas poignantly aware of him every moment of the half hour before he rose from his table and came toward them, across the wide room.
 Good morning, children" he greeted them without a smile. pull ing out a chair and dropping heavi- ly into if. He turned 10 Jack.
