Veteran Snubs
Vice-President
In Washington
BONUS MARcHER REFUSES TO
SHAKE HANDS WITH
CURTIS.

Washington, D. Geo to the
deviP', Charles Curtis, vice-president
of the United States, told a Negro
who stubbornly refused to shake
hands with him few days ago.
The Negro was a member of spe
cial committee of the Bonus Army
that visited the Capitol to present
petitions to the Vice President and
to Speaker Garner.
The only hard words spoken were
uttered by the Vice President who dis
graced himself when he lost his dig
nifty and told the Negro to take W
residence in hell. ...
Visit Curtis
There were five delegates in the
special committee that visited Curtis
office. How are you boys?" the
Vice President beamed going down
the line with a friendly word fo1
each one.
Four of them said they were 90
K" and remarked that it looked like
snow. Curtis nod was indicative OIL
the same thought.
But when he came to the only Ne
gro in the delegation, the latter put
his hands behind his back and be
came fascinated with the ceiling.
Curtis seemed astonished. Whats
the matter, don't you want to shake
hands with me?" inquired Curtis.
"Unh, unh," said the stubborn one.
Despite the urging and prompting
by Samuel SLENDER, head of the del
egation, the Negro refused to bulge
"Then you can go to the devil,
gruffed Curtis.
The crowd giggled.

soldier in the famous 25th infantry
United States army drew his army pis-
tol Thursday night and shot to death
two captains and their wives and
wounded a lieutenant.
Alternately was killed by Corp. Peter
Hrdley of the same regiment, who was
on guard at the army post at the time
of the shooting.
Alternately, who enlisted in the 25th
infantry from Houston, Tex, many
years ago, had long record for ex-
cellent conduct in the 25th regiment.
He rapidly arose from a private to
sergeant, the highest rank of Race
man may hope to attain in this regi-
ment made famous by Race soldiers.
He was considered a model soldier
and was well liked by the enlisted
men as well as the white officers of the
regiment. Then three years ago while
driving an automobile Alternately acct
dentaIIy ran over man, causing his
death.
Arrested as Civilian.
He was arrested by civilian authori.
ties and charged with manslaughter.
Pleading not guilty at first he was
persuaded by officers of his regiment
to change his plea to guilty. The re-
suit of his plea was 11-year sem
tence for manslaughter, and this sen.
tence was suspended so that he could
continue his enlistment period. He
was Immediately denoted to the grade
OF private and forced to do all sorts
OF mental work around the camp.
The fact that the man he had killed at
Douglas, Ariz, in the accident was
white was thought to have been re-
sponsible for the long sentence under
which he was placed and the fact that
he was in disfavor with the white Off

native of Texas, drove up to Aber-
nathy and in characteristic Texas
fashion ordered the soldier to fill his
gasoline tank. Without word Aber.
nathy pulled his pistol and shot the
56 year old Texas captain through
the heart. Throwing the mans BODY
from the car, he then drove it to
Officers Row and entered the house
OF Captain Wesley, where he shot to
death Mrs. Wesley. From there he
went to the next Cottage occupied by
Capt. David A. Palmer and proceeded
to kill that officer and his wife.

D. c.. Naval Reserve

Ofhcers and men Of the 1st Battalion
United States Naval Reserves Of the
District Of Columbia, are expected to
continue to attend their regular drills
despite the departmental economy order
OF last week ordering q suspension OF
drill pay and the annual cruises which
had been scheduled for the current
Summer.
Rear Admiral Henry v. Butler, COM
mandsnt of the Washington Navy Yard,
spoke to the entire battalion last Mon
day night and explained the depart
ments order and the necessity which
brought it about. However, he pointed
/ out to the Reservists how important
they were in the national defense
scheme and how much the Navy de-
pended on them to back it up in time
OF national emergency. He said that 1t
was even more painful to the Regular
establishment than to the Reserve to
have to cut the drill pay.
Admiral Butler made a strong appeal
to the patriotic spirit of the men to
| continue to attend their drills as regu-
larly as they did when receiving pay
and commended them most highly on
the efforts the officers and men were
making to put the establishment on the
top OF Reserve organizations in the mat

to continue the work which had been
started by the officers and not to let
the mere matter Of pay prevent them
from carrying on until such time as the
financial conditions in the country make
1t possible to resume both the pay status
and the annual cruises.
He pointed out that their interests
were being looked after by the officers
at the Navy Department and every
thing possible would be done for them
Capt. John Downes, in charge Of Naval
Reserve activities in the Bureau of Nav
igation of the Navy Department, also
spoke in a similar vein and added his
appeal to that of Admiral Butler.
With the admiral also were Capt
F. D. Berrien, captain of the Washing
ton Navy Yard, and Capt. j. A. Scho-
field, former commander of the local
Reserve and now on active duty at the
Navy Department.
The belief has been expressed that
the suspension of drill pay is only a
temporary matter However, Reservists
are watching the War Department for
its decision on the National Guard, The
proposal to cut the drill pay of that
organization has been made, but the
National Guard Association is making
strong bid for at least AZ drills a wear

are at the present time under a cloud

Because the matter of keeping the
car moving Is % generally overlooked
many women have come to believe that
q small car steers much more easily
for parking than does a large one.
This Is not necessarily true. The diff
flculty with the larger car is simply
one OF restricted space. The driver
does not realize that she is trying
to turn the steering wheel without
keeping the car in motion. Because
the smaller car has more room she
unconsciously keeps it rolling when
getting in or out Of space.
Do you like the sound Of your horn
If not, you can have 1t retuned to
your taste. Quite a variety Of tones
and combinations are offered where
dual horns are used. In some cases
one horn should be matched against
the other so as to obtain a beat note
Many service stations include this little

what most motorists are driving at.
You may not remember when skirts
literally swept the streets, when climb

but today you must keep in mind the
risk in parking with cars fashioned In
the new deep-skirted tenders. A curb

will dig q fine set of initials In such

but q modish style. Make it habit to
park q little farther away from the
curb.
That the present destructive price
war in the automobile tire industry
doesn't concern you and me as mo-
torists Is the national trend Of thought.
Its pleasing to the pocketbook to see
tires scaled down so low in price and
to mediate over what we used to pay
for rubber in the days when blowouts
But this Is a dangerous attitude OF
mind. .,,..
How about personal safety? How
much Is your neck worth? Would you
risk your life to obtain your tires a

down without safety going down with
them?

When both girls on the front seat
have to grasp the steering wheel in

there's something wrong, either with

not be that difficult, even with a 3

The usual explanation for hard steer
