Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, to-
day is celebrating her eighty
third birthday anniversary.
The Woman's City Club is en-
tertaining at luncheon in her
honor. Friends from all over the
world have sent her messages of
congratulations, and some have
sent flowers.
Her 83 years, says Mrs. Mussey,
have taught her faith and pa
tience. She finds the times not
so discouraging, having lived
through several economic crises.
She regards as one of her best
birthday gifts the fact that Mrs.
Roosevelt will receive an honorary
degree June l from the Washing
ton College of Law, founded by
Mrs. Mussey. It was the first
law school in the District to admit
women.
Mrs. Mussey was ~ when she
began to study law in the office

D. Mussey. She says:
cage is no barrier to success.
The best time of a wOman's
life is between 30 and co."
Also an ardent champion OF
the rights of her sex, Mrs. Mus
sey drafted the bill giving mar
ried women in the District the
right to their own earnings.

STORE HOLD-UP FAILS
"They are hold-up men. Get

This shout by Mrs. Esther
Wanovich caused her husband,
Arnold, to run out the front door
of his store shortly before mid
night just after two well-dressed
colored men had left and were
driving off in dilapidated au-
tomobile.
The two men came in the gro
cery store, in the 100 block of
S st. N. w. Two customers were
present and man and woman
came in behind the two colored
men.
The two colored men left and
only Mrs. Wanovich noticed that
one took a pistol from his pocket
and replaced 1t when the other
man glanced around and whis-
pered to him. Too many witnesses
caused them to abandon the rob
berry attempt.

False Teeth Rescued
From D. c. Sewer
After Sneeze

The emergency service work
ers of the District Sewer De-
partment have a lot of strange
jobs, but probably none
stranger than the one they had
last night when they were
called on to rescue a set OF
false teeth.
Late last night an elderly
woman called the department
with the report that she had
sneezed violently, precipitating
her teeth into a sewer at Four
teenth Street and Columbia
Road Northwest.
After short search the teeth
were found and, after a scrub
hing, are back in service.

USED
To WHIP SOME
INTO LINE
$15,0OO,O 900 in Frozen Assets
Expected to Be Freed by
New Institution

With conservatorS of a number
of closed Washington banks con.
tinuing their negotiations today,
completion of plans for the
formation of a new central ma
tional bank is believed to be a
matter of hours.
The conferences today were
held in the board room of the
FederaLAmerican National Bank
and Trust Company as were those
of yesterday. Other meetings
are to be held later today by di-
rectors and reorganization COM
mittees of affected institutions
expected to become members OF
the new bank.
Nine Seen in Merger
Predictions are being made in
local financial circles by those
believed to be in intimate touch
with the situation, that at least
nine of the local banks, which
failed to reopen at the end OF
the banking holiday, will be en-
rolled in the new institution.
Pressure, it is said, has been
brought to bear on apparently
reluctant banks to bring them
Into line" by both officials of
the Treasury Department and
leading bankers directly con-
cerned.
If the ambitions of the lead.
ers in the movement are realized.
it is expected that about SIS
100000, now frozen in the closed
banks, will be released for circu-
lation as soon as the new bank
opens.
May Take 3 Months
Conjectures as to the amount
of time which will be required
to actually open the new bank
vary from 80 days to three
months. Attention is called to
the, complications arising from
the pooling" of the varied inter-
ests and assets of the prospec-
tive member organizations.
In addition to the insjstence of
business men that frozen funds
be released as soon as possible.
bankers themselves have been
only too keenly aware that in.
terest on approximately S15,000,-
600, which would be released. is
being lost. This, it is said, mounts
into the thousands daily.
Meetings of the conservators
earlier today were to be followed
later today and tonight by meet
ings of directors. executive com.

banks.

DUBOIS LABELS
NEGRO EXILE
IN j. 8.
Editor, Speaking to Economic
Conference, AssaiIs Cultural
Failure of Own Race

DR.. w. E. B. Dubois, editor of
the Crisis, New York, addressing
the negro economic conference in
the auditorium of the Interior De-
partment today, asked the ques-
ton:
"Where do we go from here?"
Then the doctor proceeded to
tell his auditors - white and
black-just what keeps the Amer
ican negro from getting any
where in his own country.
Cultural Exile
He said, among other things,
that the negro is not recognized
as an integral part of American
civilization, or of modern culture.
He said:
Judged by character and not
by color, we have failed"
Dubois cited the Irish, the
italians, the Russians. the Poles,
the Jews, and all Balkan peoples
who make good here while the
negro fails. He said:
II simply say America will not
let us succeed. We have done
more in this land than all its
recent immigrants. We are still
at the bottom. No group in the
modern world has accomplished
so much with as little and gained
so limited and grudging a re-
ward. -.
STAND AT SIDE
Instead of our facing today
q stable world, moving toward
well defined goals, we are facing
revOlutiOn-we are already in
the midst of revolution"
While America suffers, Dubois
said, the negroes stand, even in
it's greatest crisis, at one side
only partly connected with its
remedies"
Come what may, there will be
no separate State for negroes, as
those formerly proposed by lead
ers. This student of his racial
sociological problems said:
''If the 10000 negroes in
the United States should leave
this country and find space
where they cOuId settle with
reasonable sources for develop
ment, unless they had their own
capital, and skill, and materials,
and machines, they would find
themselves under the power of
this banking interest-Of this or
some other country"

Then the inevitable question came:
"What sort of a guy was he at col

hadn't the faintest notion. Later,
when l saw a photograph of DR..
Conant, I remembered, or thought I

the excellent reason that we had
