NEGROES PLAN
NEW !. NJ. c. A.

Arrangements for the possible
establishing of 2 colored branch
of the Y. M. C. A. in the south
west section of the city will be
made today when a group of bust
ness and professional men will
meet with citizens of that section.
The Twelfth Street Branch of
the Y. M. C. A. is the only organi-
zation of its kind serving the 132,-
900 negroes of this city. Owing
to the large colored population in
the southwest, it has been felt
such a social and welfare organi-
zation was much needed.
Members of the committee plan
ming the branch are the Rev. j.
Harvey Randolph, pastor Of Mt.
Moriah Baptist Church; John T.
Rhines, j. F. WilkerSon, John
Evans, Mai. Peter Robinson,
Ernest Webb, James Ross, j.

FIGHT GROWING
ON JOHNSON

The leadership of DR.. Mordecai
w. johnson, president of Howard
Univ ersity, is under heavy fire in
Congress.
Following the demand made for
a Senate investigation of existing
conditions at the negro university
by Senator Harris CD of
Georgia, Representative Will R.
Wood (R) of Indiana. chairman
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee, yesterday made the flat
demand that DR.. johnson resign
or be removed as head Of the
institution.
Appropriation Menaced
Unless action of this sort is
taken before Congress reconvenes,
Representative Wood indicated,
Howard University may find diff
ficulty in obtaining it's customary
appr opriations from the Federal
Treasury.
Representative Wood said:
"The doctrine that DIR. John
son breaches, which has been
represented to me as pretty
close to that preached in Soviet
Russia, is not the kind which
should be taught in American
schools.
Inquiry Seen as Sure
Congress certainly will in
SiSt on going into the conduct
of Howard University next win
ter, and give much thought to
the proposal to appropriate
money for the fostering of such
teaching as that which, it is
said, is coming from the pres
ent head of the institution.

KRAMER FLAYS
UNIFORM IDEA.

A uniform dress for high
school girls would stifle the
individuality of the student-the
very quality that school authori-
ties make every effort to develop.
This was the way Stephen E.
Kramer, first assistant superin-
tendent of schools, today ans
wered an editorial appearing in
this months edition Of the
s hOOl Executives Magazine
which recommends a uniform
costume of white middle, dark
blue tie and low heeled shoes
for every girl in every high
school.
Declaring that the question of
this uniformity Of dress has sew
eral times been suggested to the
Board of Education for the local
schools, Mr.. Kramer asserted that
it is impossible to make it COM
pulsory for any child to wear a
standardized costume.
The editorial, making much of
the idea that high school girls
are in the dynamic adolescent
stage" in which they make every
effort to make a favorable i'm
preston on members of the
opposite sex, says that the
individuality which might be
stifled with this uniformity, can
be better displayed in school
activities and scholastic profi-
cheney.

DR.. Karl Menninger is

says:
For the minor depressiOns
of everyday life there is no
golden recipe of recovery, but
from the standpoint of mental
hygiene it is a good thing to
have golf balls to swat and
baseball bats to swing, and
even a few belligerent poker
games and backgammon.

PEPPER GROWING IN STATE
Two Sussex Sections Contract to
Supply Three Hundred Acres

More that three hundred acres of
peppers have been contracted for
by the farmers in the Bridgeville
and Greenwood sections this year,
and at present they are busy set
ting out the plants. The peppers
are being grown for firm at Lin
coin City, that county. The grow
ers are to receive twenty-five cents
per basket, and the farmers in
those sections state that they can
make money out of them at this
price. The yields are generally
large, apS handsome profits are
realized from an acre. Some Of the
growers are putting out five acres.
The growing of peppers for COM
mercial purposes was started in
some sections of lower Delaware
four or five years ago, and each
season the acreage has been in
creased until with some of the
growers it has become one of their
staple farm crops The plants, it
is stated, will thrive well on most
any kind of soil and are able to
withstand different weather condi-
tions without any great injury
either to the plants or the yield.
The peppers are allowed to get red
and then are harvested and deliv-
