School Situation A.
mong Negroes Of
Our City

For number of years as editor of
the Weekly Echo, we have hammered
on our school situation, in our city
especially. The Negro Civic League
awful plight, the Interdenominational
Ministerial Alliance has not held up
one bit Committees have been ap-
pointed from these different Or
CARNATIONS of our group to wait on
white authorities, but to my mind, we
have had no consideration whatever.
What is the big reason for ignoring
our petition and our request. First
of all, the Negro has no vote and
those in authority know it. What l
mean by no vote, is that, hardly ten
Negroes in a thousand in Meridian
and Lauderdale County are regis
tered citizens.
APPOINTS COMMITTEE
Some time ago the Negro Civic
Leaue appointed committee to pre-
sent nice petition to some of our
authorities in our city for certain con-
sideration. That committee and the
League have waited for months, and
we have not even received reply
from those in authority. Do you know
why? To my mind the reason is we
have no voice and until we as race
will be able to help put men in office
by our vote, or help take them out of
office by vote, the same condition will
exist. History proves that men al
ways catered to voices of citizen be-
cause of their vote, but we have no
voice

MRS.ROOSEVEL7
FAIRS GUEST
Of HONOR

CHICAGO, Oct. 81 UNS0
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt turned
momentarily today from the tasl
Of mobilizing the nations womer
for the relief of poverty to be
come the honor guest of women's
day at a Century of Progress Ex
position.
In her only public address OF
the day, however, Mrs. Roosevelt
again was scheduled to speak on
the women's crusade in the Mobil
1Zation for Human Needs, OF
which she is chairman. The Of
ficial program will be held in the
Hall of State at the Worlds Fair.
The First Lady of the Land and
General Chairman Newton D.
Baker, former Secretary of War,
launched the nationwide welfare
drive, completing plans for the
Embarrassing campaigns impend-
ing in many of the larger cities
in November.
Long Day of Meetings
Throughout long day of meet
ings, luncheons, and conferences
with representatives of 81 private
charitable organizations, Mrs.
Roosevelt gave her ideas and
oratory to shaping the crusade.
The first national rally of the
mobilization came to a close last
night at a banquet and meeting
Of welfare leaders addressed by
Chairman Baker, Mrs. Roosevelt
and Harry L. Hopkins, Federal
Emergency Relief Administrator.
Plea For Schools
Mrs. Roosevelt's warning that
closing schools meant opening
more jails brought loud applause
from her 900 listeners. She said:
"This depression has done
some strange things. even hear
rumOrS of organizations of busi-
ness men who want to cut down
on free education in this cOun-
try. MY personal feeling is that
the schools should be doing a
better job than ever before.
Thousands of young people
have unwanted leisure thrust
upon them. If education faciIi-
ties are not increased, the num-
ber Of aSylumS will have to be.
The only way to get children
away from the tension that pres
ent conditions have brought
into the environment of their
homes is to keep them in
school,"

JUMPING JACK
GOES DOWN
IN GLORY
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Pleased with the danger, a dar-
ing pilot seeks the storm.
Men glory in danger, but no
more so than does the thorough
bred horse who loves to race cross
country over post and rail, wall,
brush and ditch.
Mrs. Francis P. Caravans 7-year.
old chestnut beauty, Jumping
Jack, gelded son of Tim MCGEE,
out of Miss Lady, was an adven'
turer. He was mettlesome. He
was headlong in his audacity. He
loved to race over timber, but he
wanted to rush and dash, pell
nell, rather than to just run
The bugle sounded, Saturday
afternoon at o'clock, calling
those who would to accept the
issue in Americas premier steeple'
chase-the Maryland Hunt Cup
Jacks ears picked up. Danger!
Anxious to Run
Gleefully, Jack pranced to the
post. Once there, he was anxious
to be off. His eagerness for the
perils of the course was reflected
in his every move. Some say he
was fratious and headstrong
That wasn't it. Jack was anxious
to meet and dispose of danger
that's all.
At the drop of the flag "a red
flag, for danger), Jack and his
eight competitors broke for the
first fence. Answering the de-
mand of his pilot, Jack took that
first fence under restraint.
At the second fence, Jack
started to cut loose. He was
forced to take that one under
restraint, too much as a chap
who loves not the danger for the
danger for itself.
Came the third fence, top peril
of the Maryland Hunt Cup
course.
A Fast Race
Pounding his way toward this
fence, Jacks idea was to break
away from restraint. His mind
was not on getting over the OBJ
stacle. Up he went. too high.
Hind quarters stiffened behind
him. His rider began to slip.
Down came Jack with a crash,
on his neck.
Jumping Jack lived long
enough to know that the man
who had ridden him three times
in as many starts to three glori-
Gus victories had rolled clear and
was saved. Jack died as he had
lived, with a yen for danger.

Bats in Runs

It would appear on the sur
face that young Boken pro-
poses to carry on with Wash
ington right where he left off
with the "Caseys," because last
year he developed an uncanny
penchant for driving in runs,
being responsible for 113 runs
batted in despite his meager
sticking average of .280.
So we surmise that on the
train trip to Cleveland last
night the praise of Rookie
Boken rather rang in his ears,
whereas the Athletics, en- route
to Chicago, must have taken
another rookie, Louis Finney,
aside and gently told him of
the hazards of trying to stretch
singles to center into doubles.
It was the surmise Of many
who saw the game that young
Finney's anxiety to make a
double instead of a single, first
up in the ninth when the AS
were leading. 4 to 2, that cost
the Athletics the ball game.
None we're out when this
Portland recruit took that
desperate chance and as it so
happened he could have ad-
vanced one or two bases on
the next mans (Higgins) sim
gle and possibly scored i'm
mediately after Cihocki flied
out to right.

JAUNT
WITH TRIBE
TOMORROW
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, May 1.-One Of
those everyday, every-year occur
rences begins this week for the
Griffmen in the guise Of the
teams first Western trip Of the
year. And at the end OF the inva'
sion the Griffs will be able to
Judge how they stack up against
their rivals.
From the manner in which
they have played against the
Eastern clubs to date, Manager
Cronin and his men should not
encounter any unexpected trouble
in the West, but the Griffmen are
not looking for any easy time?
The GriffS broke even on their
first invasion out West last year,
but an altogether different team
then represented the Capital clan.
This season Manager Joe Cronin
is fortunate in possessing tried.
true and much stronger pitching
staff under his wing, better bat.
ting club, and collection of per-
formers who don't know the word
quit until the last man Is out.
WhitehiII Returns Tomorrow
Speaking of pitching, Cronin
will, no doubt, call upon his left
handed pitching ace, Earl White
hill, to open against the Cleve-
land Indians tomorrow in the
first scheduled game of the trip.
Earl, who because of his part in
the Washington riot last week,
will be eligible to play tomorrow.
Manager Cronin also will waste
no time restoring Myer to the
lineup tomorrow, as Myers time
will be up then.
Earl has not worked since
week ago yesterday and should
be fully rested and ready for his
new test. Against Cleveland last
year he was more than effective,
defeating them something like
four times.
All this is not to say that
Johnny Kerr failed to fill the bill
at second during Myers absence.
Little Johnny turned in a great

fact that his hitting is not as
good as Myers and never will be
in comparison, particularly over a
long stretch.
Hope for Good Showing
So the Griffmen are in the
West for the first time this year,
hopeful of proving their strength
against these invaders as well as
they have proved a power against
the East to date. A successful
showing will certainly help Man
ager Cronin and his men as, need
less to say, it'll instill them with
just that much more fight to
battle the Yankees for what will
probably be the lead and pennant
later on.

OF course, all of this is sur

Of the game with the score
being what it was, a little
tighter brand of basc-running
was in order. However, the

can't be expected to yet have

So it looked to us that Wash

the game. and Philadelphia's
rookie, Finney, lost it, and even
that logic may be somewhat in
the category of second-guess-
ing, a very easy habit to fall
into after all of the figures
are in-we admit.
Between those two, there was
q great supporting cast which
even brought into the picture
the great Lefty Grove, who was
ostensibly sent into the game
to pitch two-thirds of an in

the ninth, but who ultimately
had to take three curtain calls.
