A FTER strenuous week OF
~ brilliant and interesting en-
~ tertainment, society in large
q \ numbers treked over smooth
Virginia highways to Westmoreland
County yesterday where with great
ceremony, Stratford Hall, birthplace
of Gen. Robert E. Lee, was dedicated
No one can say the restoration of
Lighthouse Harry Lees home is COM
plete, but since it is of less ancient
lineage than many other places in the
Old Dominion, one may surmise that
the lovely building has risen from
ruin much after its original pattern.
To see the interesting ceremony was
the Presidents mother, Mrs. James
Roosevelt; Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, ma
tive of the State was there with her
Richmond hostess, Miss Frances Scott,
as well as the directors of the Robert
z. Lee Memorial Foundation, Mrs.
Fairfax Harrison, stately and lovely;
Mrs. CaZenove Lee, who so ably looked
after the publicity for the dedication;
Mrs. Ralph Worthington and Mrs.
Horace Van Deventer. Hundreds OF
others whose ancestors are known to
fame witnessed the big event in Vir-
ginia's history.
Mrs. Roosevelt paid the White
House a fleeting visit, during which
she achieved more than the ordinary
housewife would have done in a week.
and then hurried off to New York to
60 shopping and celebrate her 5lst
birthday anniversary with members OF
her family. None of those grand sur
prises that keep the curiosity Of
society folk on edge as to what the
Presidents wife will wear to such and
such reception can again be enjoyed,
for as dear old Will Rogers always
said, II see by the papers," ETC., just
what those gowns are to be. Dark

tween two white jurors, as juror
No. 7. He retired into the grand
jury room for organization of the
body and returned to hear, with
the others. the charge of Judge
Virlyn B. Moore" it was stated.
The continued mass demand for
the seating Of the Negro people on
Southern juries is having its in
creasing effect in various parts of
the South. So far this pressure
has been answered by hand pick
ing single Negro jurors on occas-
sional juries.
The placing Of Faison on the jll-
ry is said TO bs a gesture by the
city officials as a result Of the
sharp attack on eeorgia's lily

HeHhdon case. Herndon was de-
Tended by Ben J< Davis, Jr., and

Radio Speech Of Empress Menen
Of Ethiopia Believed damned

NEW YORK CAMP Il Friends
Of peace throughout the world
who had expected to listen to the
radio appeal of Empress Menen OF
Ethiopia last Tuesday night wece
disappointed. Arrangements had
been made to broadcast the speech
in many countries, but the receipt
ion of the speech was not success
full.
Officials of broadcasting
panies in the United States "a.
England were not sure at first just
what had happened, but later
charges were made that the broad
cast had been damned" That
meant that some other station, in
the vicinity of the Ethiopian capt.
tai had switched in on the same
wave length, in order to prevent
listeners from hearing the speech.
Such trick was resorted to by
military forces in the World War.
Suspicion Immediately centered
on Italy which objected to Cen

ian controversy last week It was
claimed that Italian stations near
Ethiopia could have caused the
jam. Broadcasting officials could

IN Fetchit, droll comedian and the
'.team-mate" Of the late Will Rog-
ers, was seized with another tenn
peramental fit, according to wit
nesses, and as a result he has the
permission of his studio bosses "to
take as long a vacation as he likes
pay"
Fetchit, who was working in the
forthcoming film, 1.-The Little Re-
bel" starring Shirley Temple, is
alleged to have protested a disin-
clination to work. Doing so he in
cluded a demand for softer lights

obtained the services of Willie
Best, better known as "Sleep n

part of Fetchit, has worked in nu-
merous films to date, among them
being Kentucky Kernel" THE

The first two films starred Wheel
