Mrs. Bethune is Not
"ChoOsy' o Where
She Sits in Church

St. Louis, Mo-, July II, (ANP)-
While in the city last week attending
the 26th annual conference of the
N. A. A. G. p, at which time the
Spingarn Medal Award was present
ed to her by William Pickens, field
secretary, Mrs. Mary Mcleod Beth
une, founder and president of Beth
une-Cookman college, talked inform
ally Of the technique she employs
in dealing with some forms Of dis
elimination in the South. The best
sample covered the following incl
dent:
Mrs. Bethune was attending a
great religious conference in At
lanta, Ga. On Sunday, there had
been communion services in which
white and black joined. On the fol-
lowing day, Mrs. Bethune entered
the great church and took the seat
which seemed most to her liking. She
had not been sitting there long be-
fore one of the white ushers ap-
preached and apologetically informed
her:
I'VE have reserved seats over
there for you" He pointed to a sec
ton on the side where Negroes were
being segregated.
Mrs. Bethune beamed a smile on
the usher and answered: THANK
you SO much, but this is all right.
| don't care for reserved seats!"
There was nothing the befuddled
usher could do about it.

Louis Camera Fight
Drew Sport Fans From
All Over The u. S.
By Allan Mcmillan.


There were three definite
things established here last Tues
day night following the Joe Louis
Primo Camera fisticuffs at the
Yankee Stadium In two instanc-
es records were broken and in a
third a new precedent was es-
tabliShed when sport fans from
all corners of the United States
came to witness the battle Of the
year.
First, the gross receipts were
$328,655.4 and this set a new
high for a non-titular boxing
match, and inoidently this is re-
corded as the eighteenth largest
gross gate in the history Of box
ing.
Secondly, the Louis-Carnera
match broke a record for news
paper coverage, both by the white
and Negro press, when more
than seven hundred newspaper
men and women covered what
proved to be the most exciting
heavyweight fight in many years.
Fight Fans Galore.
In the matter Of fight fans who
came here from nearly every state
IN the union. I doubt if there has
ever been an equal to this demon
stration Of support. | am sure
that it has never been surpassed.
| mingled with the visiting fans
for three days before the bout and
| am positive that a new prece-
dent has been set up.
Some came by train and air
plane, others by motor cars and
bus. | personally talked to peo-
pie who had come from Califor-
MIA, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia
and from Mississippi. The young
fellow from Leland, Mississippi,
was a former Fisk University stu
dent, Wash Burns, whom | knew
as a boy. He is a successful plant
er and cotton buyer now and
leads a calm home life, being mar
ried to the former Charlie Mae
Dixon, a graduate Of Knoxville
College, Knoxville, Tennessee.
He told me hat he "just had
to see the fight if he lost his
plantation" but | know he didn't
mean it that way. 1t was the
spirit Of enthusiasm and race
pride hat urged him and thous-
ands of others from Chilicothe,
Kinder Lou and many other hid
den hamlets we never hear men
toned in the big city.
Plenty Money Spent.
Then, there were Louis B. An
derson, Richard Cunningham and
Edw- NJ. Sneed, the political big
wigs from Chicago; also Attorney
Edith Sampson. Among the
many sportsmen were Ed. Jones,
Woogie Harris, Gus Greenlee,
Fred Irwin, Ernie Henderson,
George Jones, LA Kelly and Her
man Smith from Los Angeles.
The theatrical profession
brought their luminaries, includ-
ing Adelaide Hall, Alma Smith,
Josephine Hall, Bud Harris, Bert
Howell, and Tommy Brookins,
who came n from London.
Tavern keepers reported that
they enjoyed a thirty percent in
crease in business for the week.
Other businesses profiting by the
tremendous transit were haber-
dashers, restaurants and mite
clubs. Lane and Nichols, the Sew
'enth Avenue hatters, made the
report that their store sold out a
complete supply of straw hats,
and Small's Paradise, the Cotton
Club, 1-0-1 club, Brittwood and
club Ubangi all did sky-rocketing
crosses. An oddly of the entire
week was there was very little
betting In Harlem There was
no Camera money.

THROUGH we are still in this en-

100 per cent perfect, and can
L readily see many things to
justify severe condemnation,
yet in many respects our social prob
lens are now being handled far
better than they were when the city
was still In the making. Indeed,
prior to the establishing of st. Eliza
beth's Hospital, in 1852, the mentally
Ill of Washington were treated with
q degree Of inhumanity that today
would be revolving, and, up until
about 1857, the unfortunate deaf and
dumb were accorded as little SYM
pathy and consideration as were many
persons bereft of their reason.
So it was with certain deficient,
derelict or criminally inclined youth
of the District Of Columbia, who,
prior to the close Of the Civil War,
were herded together with adult
criminals. even to the disgust, and
against the better judgment Of the
warden Of the jail, who, in his report
of November 1, 1866, addressed to
the Secretary OF the interior, SAID:
1.-The large number Of children Of
both sexes committed for crime, who
have to be confined with old Offend
ers, shows the Importance of house
of refuge to which these juveniles
can be sent.
"The statistics of our jail show.
what common sense would lead us
to expect, that these vagrant and
neglected children form the raw ma
terial out of which our dangerous
criminals are in due course manu-
featured. -

WHEN the trustees Of the House OF

took office, October Is, 1865, they
found awaiting them only the single

q quantity of lumber and materials
collected for that purpose, and the
81 500 debt. But the board was made
up of some of the foremost men of
Washington, including P. D. Gurley'

soon a report was made to Congress
that resulted in an appropriation OF

It was David K. Cartier, Chief jus

first report, and he called attention
to the opinion of the trustees that the
building already erected could only oe
considered at most as temporary and
that it was utterly unit for perma-

clared to be unsatisfactory because
of the lack of all drainage, causing 1t
to become overlooked during heavy
rains and at all times making 1t damp
and unhealthy.
Following the appropriation Of
$12 900, made July IS, 1866, no fur
