Gov. Peery Feels
Sure Of Justice

RICHMOND. Va. Nov. %
(UP).-Gov. George Peery said
last night he had received a noun
tain of kilograms and letters ask
ing him to pardon Edith Maxwell
who is under sentence Of % years
in prison for killing her father
when he tried to whip her for
staying out until midnight.
The governor explained there
was nothing he could do now be-
cause there is pending in the Wise
county circuit court a motion to
set aside the jury's verdict as be-
ing contrary to evidence. Edith,
still in the Wise, Va, Jail, has not
been sentenced. Her attorneys
have several days remaining i'll
which to file briefs.
THE trial judge Judge H. A.

justice will be done at the hearing
on setting aside the verdict. I'm

it was infinitely worse that the

Constitution Day


organization in every State In
the union, the veterans, the
armed forces and the legion Of
American youth can insure q
celebration of the one hundred
and fiftieth birthday Of the Con-
stitution in every way worthy Of
that historic event.
When Gen James G. Harbord,
Of Kansas and New York, grad
uated from college he enlisted
in the Regular Army for his
commission. Before long he had
earned his promotion to SER
geant. When an Army promo
ton board, of which the late
Gen. S. B. M. Sumner-then a
major-was president, met in
Walla Walla, Wash, to examine
candidates for appointment as
second lieutenants. Sergeant
Harbord appeared to take the
examination. It was a very
comprehensive test. Among the
questions was one which read
like this:
estate the main ObjectlveS OF
the Constitution Of the United
States"
When the papers were turned
in one of them answered this
question substantially as fol-
lows:
"This question can best be
answered by reciting the pre-
amble which reads as follows:
"'We the people of the United
States, in order to form q more
perfect Union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, pro-
vide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare,
and secure the blessings Of
liberty to ourselves and our
pOSterity, do Ordain and eStab-
lish this Constitution for the
United States"
The members of the eXamin.
ing board were so surprised by
the answer that they sent for .
copy of the Constitution to see
whether the answer was cor
rect. No copy of the organic
law could be found on the post.
One was finally provided by
the post tailor who lived just
off the post.
APPRECIATION
On comparison it was found
that Sergeant Harbord's an
swer to this question was cor
rect in it's every word. Most Of
the other questions he answered
no less accurately and won his
commission in the Army from
which he lately retired with
the rank of major general.
If the annual observance Of
Constitution Day this year and
next encourages American youth
to get acquainted with the pre-
amble of the Constitution they
will be on the broad highway
that leads to an understanding
and appreciation of what the
Constitution really means to
them as citizens and Sovereigns.

course, she can't do it. But she
does her darnedest. She sits
moping around, being sorry for
herself, remembering when.
The woman who Was-there'S
one side of the picture. But
glory be, there's also another!
And if you'd like to see it op-
Grating in the flesh, stroll into
a certain smart little dress shop
one of these days and ask for
Gertrude Ederle.
Remember Gertrude? Prob
ably, not-but nine years ago
you cheered whenever her name
was mentioned. And with plenty
of reason! For Gertrude had
lust done one of the p16cNest
things in female history-Swam
the icy waters of the English
Channel in II hours, the first
of her sex to lick that deadly
rip-tide. And what q whoopla
it created! New York went
mad-never was there such q
confetti carnival as when Gertie
came laughing home!
MAIN ASSET
Nine years ago. And now?
Now Gertrude Ederle's fat and
forgotten. But is she wasting
any tears about it? Has she
Joined the Remember-When
Racket? She isn't and hasn't.
She has let 1929 flop along with
the calendar, where it belongs.
AND SHE'S LIVING IN To-
DAY.
What's more, she is capital
izing those very things which
would have thrown many an"
other woman into q nail-chew-
ing contest. That plump waist
that debarS her from the Splash
eretteS-iS it Gertrude's Secret
Sorrow? No, stranger, it's her
MAIN ASSET! She's actually
turning it into chuckles and
checks by DESIGNING
DRESSES FOR ALL THE
STYLISH STOUTS!
Compared to which, crossing
that English Channel was just
a pitty-pat game. For the hard
est stunt in all the world to do
is-LIVE IN TODAY. And the
human being who can pass UP
tomorrow, forget yesterday and
TACKLE THE PRESENT has
all the other champs skinned!
Which is certainly some sort
Of q needful lesson to q lot Of
cry-babieS I know-including
Myself.

Especially in the late hours OF
the night, at a time when most
of New YorkS seven million
have turned out the lights and
gone to bed, Dark Harlem-the
home and the retreat of 250,0O0
Negroes-iS wide awake and
throbbing with life.
All along Seventh Avenue
only one of half a dozen broad
and erstwhile magnificent thor
oughfares which have been
taken over wholly and complete
ly by colored people from all
over the world-there is the
blare of radio, incesSant cho-
ruses of laughter, an occasional
scream Of rage, and a veritable,
positive barbaHic murmur as
authentic as if it we're accom-
panied by the measured beat Of
ton-toms in the mysterious
heart of an African forest.
The white man is master Of
all the metropolis, save this
great district which begins now
at 10th Street and strikes
straight north to 155th Street,
while east and west it spreads
from Harlem River to Amster-
dam Avenue, a territory cov-
ering more than 1000 acres.
THOUSAND ACRES
Living within this great
spread are Negroes from Central
America, Cuba and a hundred
other islands of the West Indies,
the Deep South and the Near
South, Ethiopia and pretty
much all the rest Of Africa. It
is one of the most remarkable
aggregations of human beings
to be found anywhere in the
civilized world. For Dark Har'
lem belongs to all the Negroes
of America. There they are
truly free.
Realizing this fundamental
fact-that it is truly theirs, that
the white man is always and
ever an intruder and an inter-
loper-the Negro Of Dark Har-
lem is cheerful under circum-
stances which would drive 10
out Of 20 white men to diScour-
agement and despair.
This has been true all
through the depression. For
five years Dark Harlem has Suf-
fered as no other section Of New
York city. The reason, OF
course, is obvious. Except Tor
q few municipal or Federal jobs,
there are no whitecollar work
ers in Dark Harlem. There are
a few members of the skilled
trades. The women are needle"
workers in factories, or domestic
servants.
The men go out every day to
cook, to wait on tables and to
labor as porters, doormen, clean
ers, elevator men, house attend
