CAROLINA GIRL
|SFHA BEAUTY

Washington and the Federal
service are indebted to Grens-
boro, N. c., for the acquisition
of Helen Beck of the Federal
Housing Administration.
Miss Beck, secretary to Paul
Best, administrative assistant to
James A. Moffett and president
of the washington Young Demo
cratic Club, is slender, with a
pretty smile, and is one of the
most personable employees at the
Vermont Avenue agency. Her
blue eyes and soft, dark brown
hair add to her charm.
Proving that beauty and eff
cheney can be mixed, in 1881 she
won the North Carolina State
championship in typewriting,
shortly after graduating from
Greensboro High School. She
has been in Washington about
four years, although her FILA
post is her first Government
experience.
Miss Beck is athletic in spare
time, interested in all types of
sport, although she stresses
golf, swimming and dancing.
Planning to continue secretarial
work as life career, the charm
ing worker is at present pursu-
ing a review course at Temple
University.

PARTY To FIGHT.
NEGRO VOTE IN
PRIMARY
Arlington Democrats Expected
to Challenge CoIored Per-
sons at Polls

ARLINGTON COURTH HOUSE,
Va, July 1.-THE Negro vote in
Arlington county, numbering more
than 500, is expected to be chal-
lenged in the Democratic prim-
airy August 6, it was learned to-
day following opinions by several
lawyers that the Democratic reg
ulation excluding Negroes from
participation in the primary was
valid according to recent ruling
by the United States Supreme
Court in a Texas case.
Despite the fact that the Fed
eral Court of the Eastern District
of Virginia held the party regula-
ton contrary to the Fourteenth
Amendment, local attorneys be-
lieve Virginia'S case is parallel
with the Texas case and that any
member of the Democratic organ
iation is legally entitled to chal-
lenge and exclude the Negro vote
in any primary in the State.
In the Texas case the Supreme
Court held that any party conven-
ton may regulate it's own pri-
marieS and determine who should
be qualified to vote in them.
Regulation Adopted
Virginia's Democratic organiza-
ton, at its convention in Rich
mond in June, 1892, adopted the
following regulation, under the
authority of the Virginia Code
which empowers any party to
regulate it's own primaries:
"All white persons who are
qualified to vote at the next en-
suing general election; who be-
lieve in the principles of the
Democratic party; who voted
for all the nominees of that
party at the next preceding gen.
eral election in which they voted
and in which the Democratic
nominee or nominees had OppO-
SitiOn, and who will support all
of the nominees of that party at
the next ensuing general cleo
ton, are hereby declared to be
members of the Democratic
Party of Virginia. No person
shall be permitted to vote in the
Democratic primary election
who is not a member of the
Democratic Party as herein de.
fined. Any person offering in
a Democratic primary election
may be challenged by any men,
Der of the Democratic Party and
such challenged person shall
not be permitted to vote until
he shall make oath that he
possesses qualifications of a mem.

Ken MURRAY
Says:

J. Edgar Hoover told the
Association of Chiefs Of Police
that "shySter" lawyers must be
considered public enemies. .
Well, from the way Mr.. Hoover
has been depicting the public
enemy list, they'll need some
new recruits.
He certainly minced no words,
when he described those lawyers,
who cOnSOrt with criminals, as
illegal vermin". ANY day, now,
we may expect to see the Omen
equipped with "fIit guns"
1t was generally agreed that
for payment the crooked lawyers
not only take stolen money, but
also stolen goods. Guess they
figure that money, alone, doesn't
always bring happiness.
so REMEMBER:
While a shySter is generally
called a "mOuth-piece" it's the
money that really does the
talking.

POLICE ENDURE
'QUERY|T|S'.
PLUS HEAT
Form 100 With 222 Questions
Gives Detectives a Real
Hot Weather Workout
Life, sometimes, is just one dog
goned thing after another.

Life, sometimes, is just one dog
goned thing after another.
Take the heat, for instance. It
was hotter than blazes around Po-
lice Headquarters last night, but
things got even hotter-at least
for the detective force-after In
spector Frank S. w. Burke had
handed out Form 100 with a lee
ture on how to answer its 22z
questions.
Quite a Job
Form 100 is Major Ernest W.
Browns answer to the problem of
increased efficiency in the depart
ment. And its 222-count 'em-
questions must be answered every
week so the police head will know
just what his plain clothes men
are doing and why.
The detective must tell how
many people he arrested during
the week, how they were arrested,
what happened to them after.
wards. Were their cases cleaned
up-and if not, why?
How many prisoners did he in
vestigate after the lineup? How
many secondhand stores did he
visit? Did he recover any stolen
property? And if so, what was
it? How many coroner's inquestS
did he attend and what happened
to the defendant?
A Tough Life
Harassed detectives will have
to tell how many hours they spend
on assignments. This question, it
was anticipated, will be answered
with glee by Detectives Shimon,
Brass, Liverman, Beck, Strange
and others who often work on
cases for a. hours without rest
or sleep. They will get a chance
to show just how tough a detec-
tiVe'S life can be.
However. things could be worse.
Some of the old timers can re-
member ten years ago when a
detective had to fill out a daily
report and not only mention how
many pawnshops he had visited
but give their names and ad-
dresses.
And they say that in New York
city things are worse. So what?

TAKES ACTION
IN CLASH
Local CoIored Groups Display
Little Concern Over Italian
Moves; Red Ideas Fail

Washington's colored popula.
ton, which numbers slightly more
than 10000 and is 81 per cent
of the total of the city's residents,
is taking the threatened Ethiop-
ian war with utmost calm.
A checkup by The Washington
Times throughout the colored Sec
tions of the city revealed today
that only one organization was
taking an active part in bringing
the overseas crisis to the attention
of local residents. This organiza-
ton is the Universal Multi-Tech-
mic Association, with headquar-
tiers in the 1900 block Eleventh
st. N. w. James Y. Eaton, for
mer Howard University student,
is head of the group which is
made up mainly of alumni of the
university.
Call For Boycott
They classify themselves as a
liberal association. Recently they
sent out a resolution calling for
a boycott of Italian merchants.
The resolution read:
"The Universal Multi-Technic
Association unanimously adopt
ed a resolution for the boycott
of all Italian merchants who
refused to protest in writing
to Italian officials against in.
vaSiOn of Ethiopia by Italy
and to implOre adherence to
the Kellogg pact.
"The resolution asks further
that all legal means available
be employed to arouse public
sentiment in behalf of Ethiopia,
to encourage the buying of
Ethiopian bonds if they are of.
fered for sale in the United
States and to make every effort
within reason for peaceful
solution of the present Italo-
Ethiopian crisis"
In the Harlem sector of New
york, Abyssinian sympathizers
have set up recruiting stations
and are listing the names of
volunteers for overseas duty in
the event of open hoStilities be.
tween the two nations.
Show Little Interest
But the Capitals colored resi-
dents appeared today to be con-
tenting themselves with little
more than a newspaper readers
interest in the crisis.
Colored newspapers circulated
in the Capital are giving front
page space, but not headlines, to
stories concerning the alteration.
Radical and Communist groups
here have been striving to stir
up more heated interest in the
crisis among the Capitals colored
folk. Two newspapers, published
by Communist groups, which have
been circulated in colored sections,
devoted their headlines, columns
on their front pages and their
editorial columns TO fiery articles
sympathetic to Ethiopia.

Aged OwatOnna Negro,
Once Slave, Buried

Owatonne-Early history of
Steele county and Owatonna was
revived here in connection with
preparations for funeral services
for Esse Livingston, head of the
only Negro family residing in
Owatonna, who was brought here
as slave more than rs years ago.
Esse-only a few people knew
his last name was more than 80
years old, having been brought
here with two other Negroes and
other personal property by the
Chambers family from New York
In 1859, four years after Steele
county was created at the sixth
session of the territorial legisla-
ture and five years after the first
family located on what is now the
city of Owatonna.
With no birth records available
the Negro, believed about 20 years
old at that time, tended sheep
flocks for many years on ground
now occupied by the state public
school and embracing much of the
present business section of the
city.
Even after his freedom from
slavery, coming after about six
years of residence in Owatonna,
he remained with the Clark Cham
bers family, preferring to serve
the man whom he remembered
throughout his life as "kind
massa".
After the death of Mr.. Cham
bers, a Civil war captain, Steele
county's second sheriff and one of
Owatonna's first alderman, Esse
and his family lived in the city's
oldest building until about nine
years ago, when the structure was
dismantled.
Esse entered the barber bust
ness in Chatfield, and continued
that trade until about Is years
ago, when he retired. Family
washing and the sale of curios
collected over a period of nearly
three-quarters of century kept
the family until the past two or
three years, when Esse became a
county charge.

TWO CHAMPIONS
SPRING UP HERE

Summer, the season of cham
pions has brought forth two mod
est winners in Redwood Falls.
No fanfare of trumpets heralds
their approach, they are not
cheered as they walk the streets,
but they're winners, none the less.
For instance, there's j. L. Par
sons, who won over himself and
his past record by shooting a 35
at golf Tuesday. It's one under
par, the best he's ever done-and
better than most golfers can do.
Runner up in the match was Leon
H. Brown, who raised great clouds
of smoke as he burned up the
course for 38.
Then there's Rev. E. A. Birkholz
who sat quietly by while the press
acclaimed those who were eating
sweet corn from their gardens
July 20. Rev. Birkholz and his
family had good sweet corn July
10. And they've had potatoes from
their garden since July Z.
