The heart situation rules out a two-no-
trump response, and that would be mis-
leading, anyway, as the hand Is not OF
the no-trump type and contains barely
two tricks. Three diamonds may ap-
pear the most informative response, and
many theorists would work out several
"raises" in trump length and the single
ton and insist that you Jump the bid.
However, I would be content to bid two
diamonds. If my partner must pass this
it is very unlikely that he can take IL
tricks in that suit or nine in no-trumps.
If he bids two hearts. now bid three no.
trumps, the delayed jump showing that
the gap has been bridged; II he bids
spades or clubs, now you know that no.
trumps is not your destiny and should
raise his second suit to show four of
them in support. Your partner will now
select his trump suit and bid for game
IN the suit which offers the best play
ing chance. Spades of course, is pref
erable-but If the choice is between the
two minors, he knows you have four OF
each and should select his shorter suit
for trumps, enabling the longer suit to
be employed to furnish discard OF
losers from dummy.

Mr.. Browns extra card left for your

should mean that Mrs. Brown called on
you In person. Since this was not the
case, perhaps the Browns have moved

It seems to me that you new neighbor

would be cruel, think, to refuse her
invitation. Remember that the first

MY Dear Mrs. Post: Very often am

cases these invitations are from people
much older than myself, and with whom
I haven't much in common. Does
courtesy demand that reman in their

liberty to leave shortly after dinner,
and II I am. how soon afterward?"
Answer: You should either not ac-
cept these invitations or else you
should stay until at least one other
guest Is also ready to leave. II you are
the only visitor, you would stay for at
least half an hour after leaving the

California Court
Says Filipino May
Wed English Girl

LOS ANGELES.-(W S) Another
definite step toward marriage be-
tween the different races in this
state was taken here last week when
the Appellate Court upheld a deci-
sion of Superior Judge Walter S.
Gates. who had previously ruled that
L. E. hampton. clerk of Los Angeles
County, issue a marriage license to
Salvador Roldan, Filipino. and Mar
jorie Rogers. an English born white
girl.
Legislation was drafted in 1880
and 1906 against the marriage of
Caucasians and Mongolians and the
questions before the Appellate C3urt
we're: If the Filipino is of the Malay
race and was he included when
legislators spoke of "Asiatics," Geo
lies" and "Mongolians. The court
held the brown race distinct from
the yellow.
The o,'ginal decision was handed
down Ey Judge Walter S. Gates.
who Is known throughout the United
States sor his liberality on questions
regarding the race. He also rendered
tie decision in the famous Los An
seles swimming pool case in 1880.
when declared that Negroes should
lie allowed to use the pool at EXPOSE
ton Park, located in white dis
trict.
If this decision is permanent it
will cause the marriage laws of the
State of California to have a hui
morous side with respect to race.
The Malay race, which is darker
than the Monaghan, will be permit
ted to marry Caucasians, while tao
yellow race will not be able to do
so because of specific Legislation
against them.

Theatre Bars Negroes
From Green Pastures

WASHINGTON, d. CA special
separate night has been set aside
"for Negroes by the National the
atre here when colored people will
be granted an opportunity all by
themselves to see Richard b. Harri-
son and the all-Negro cast in the
world-famous religious play, 1.-THE
Green Pastures" No Negroes will be
allowed to enter the National theatre
at any other performance during the
two-week run of the play, which
opens this week.
The colored Elks have closed a
contract for the Jim Crow perform
ance and have announced that the
proceeds will go into their eduea-
tional fund. A high official of the
lodge stated that he was sorry he
did not know the high feeling over
the segregation as he would not
have signed the contract.
Washington is in an uproar over
the insult. Many prominent people,
among them DR.. Carter G.. Woodson.
Tire District of Columbia branch
of the N.A.A.C.P.. the Interdenomi-
national Ministers Alliance, and A.
M. e. Zion church general officers
all fought the segregation and in
terviewed Richard b. Harrison, who
plays the part of "De Lawd" in the
play, requesting him to refuse to
play II his people were segregated.
Mr.. Harrison is said to have told
the committee that he accepted the
plan" of the theatre. He expressed
the belief that a great contribution
to race advancement and interracial
understanding would be made by
performing to white audience in
Washington.
Marc Connolly, authorsof the play.
and Rowland Stebbins, producer,
wrote the National theatre from
New York protesting the exclusion
of Negroes.

White War Veterans
Stop Segregation
OF Negro Comrades

NEWBURGH, N. Y.-Indignant
white Spanish War Veterans forced
the manager and head waitress of
the Hotel Washington Tuesday eve
ming to apologize for conspicuous
segregation of five Negro war vet
Grams.
The Negroes, members of the
Hudson B. Moore Camp, United
Spanish War Veterans, and proml-
nent residents of Newburgh and
Highland Falls, were forced to sit
behind an arch in the hotel dining
room where they could not see the
speakers, at a banquet following
the Spanish War Veterans installa-
ton. soes ka'-r ---,
They were neither permitted to
sit at tables with their white COM
rades nor were white men allowed
by the hotel management to sit at
their table.
AS the ex-soldiers filed into the
dining room, white man and Ne
gro side by side, the head waitress
directed the Negro soldiers over to
a secluded table and brusquely or
dered a white man, who had sat
down with the group, to go to an
other table.
Smarting under the insult the Ne
groes rose, put on their hats and
coats and left the dining room. They
were Immediately followed by Post
Commander Abraham Burton and
numerous white veterans of the
Newburgh Post, who sensed the sit
uation.
Apologies were wrung by the
Post Commander from the manag-
er of the hotel, W. Morland Brow
er, and from the head waitress For
the sake of the post the Negro vet
Grams returned. Told they could sit
where they pleased, two took their
places near the speakers table with
white comrades. The other three
went back to the segregated" table,
where they were joined by white
man.
In statement to the press, the
hotel manager at first flatly denied
that the Negroes had been mis-
treated. Confronted with state
ments by both white and Negro
veterans. he admitted that the Ne
groes had been segregated.
He weakly explained that he did
not feel that the visiting whites
would care to mingle with the Ne
groes.
The head waitress declared that
she thought that the Negroes would
want to sit by themselves.
