Reports.

Reports.
By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND. Va, June ii.-John
@. Rhodes. jr., State director Of the
division of motor vehicles, reported
yesterday 1886 increase in automo-
bile and truck registrations from March
1 to June 1 over the corresponding
period of last year.
Passenger cars accounted for 20,l5O
Of the increase, he said.
The registrations represented an
increase in revenue over the same
period of 1885 Of $415, ,26o16.
This may mean that more cars
have been bought" Rhodes said, "or
it may mean that more people bought
their licenses earlier than last year.
1T will be hard to tell until August
or September whether the ratio Of
increase viii be reflected in the total
registrations for the year."

millions of men who are now engaged in

to fight and die for issues of which they
know nothing, and they will eventually go
to swell the number of slain heroes upon

On this Memorial Day, therefore, as we

veys shown that 900 of this popu-
lation are inadequately housed due
to some defect or other in the
house in which they resided. A few
of the Major defects are condemn
ed plumbing, heating, and wiring,
not including the over congestion
/ or completely condemned house of
which the colored people are living
in.
This condition tends to create
unrest, discomfort, and lack Of self
respect among thousands OF young
Negro boys and girls graduated
from elementary and high school
and as result Negroes have a
higher ratio Of Juvenile delinquen-
cy than any other race in the
state.
The source Or root of this socia;
evil is attributed directly to the
child's home and surroundings, aud
until there is a REIMBURSEMENT In
homes of these children the con-
dition will gradually grow worse.

by the Federal, State and Local

by any of these branches of our

support and sponsor the expansion
OF this work in Detroit.
Unbelievable strides have been
taken to make the country Hous-

THE TRIBUNE'S COOKING SCHOOL

Preparations are rapidly going forward
for the Tribune's Cooking School, to be
held Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
June 3, 4, and 5, at Forest Club, concur
rently with the Annual exhibit of the Book
er T. Washington Trade Association and
Housewives League
The school will be held in the big audi
forum, adjacent to the exhibit hall, and the
kitchen will be electrically equipped by
Peterson and Son, representatives of Gen
eral Electric Company. The complete e.
lectric kitchen will be on the stage Of the
auditorium.
Competent demonstrators, headed by
Mrs. George Irwin will conduct the cook
ing demonstrations each afternoon. Men
us of varied foods will be prepared and
samples served to the audience.
Each person attending the cooking
school will be given free ticket, and at
the close of each afternoon session, num-
Der of premiums will be awarded, includ-
ing baskets of groceries, cooking utensils
and similar household articles.
In addition to the features already men,
toned, the program of the Tribune's cook
ing school will be varied and enlivened by
several unique attractions, including rem
ditions by the Glee Club of Miller High
School, fashion skits by local dress and fur
shops; and on Thursday afternoon, the Wo-
mems Council of Second Baptist Church
will be represented on program; while the
ladies Of the Court of Calanthes will ap-
pear Friday afternoon.
The Tribune's purpose in conducting
this cooking school is not commercial or
mericinery. Our sole object is to co-ope-
rate with the Detroit Housewives League
and the Booker T. Washington Trade AS
ISOLATION, in rendering this service to the
public, and in demonstrating to colored
consumers the excellent lines of groceries,
meats, staple and fancy foodstuffs, and
other household necessities handled by
merchants of our group in Detroit.

ISSUES AND MEN

trayed as the peoples are by their
leaders, there is still a majority Of
human beings who know that might
does not make right, that the rapist,
the robber, and the murderer, whe-
Their individuals or nations, are to
be neither condemned nor admired
but remain the enemies of society
remain the enemies of society and
and of mankind. Victory? Why,
the cost to Mussolini is just begun.
So has the cost to the rest of the
world just begun. At this writing
1t is hardly thinkable that the Lea
que of Nations may rescue itself,
or that the badly shattered British
prestige may be restored. Both Of
these collapses are fraught with
the most serious consequences to
the rest of the world. If anyone
has any doubt Of that, let him read
the rejoicings in Berlin that COL
lective security has broken down.
The very encouragement that Mus
solini has given to Hitler may in
turn cost him extremely dear, for
when you are a dictator the hand
that is for you one day is as readi-
ly against you the next. Mussolini's
successful defiance of the League
will embolden Hitler whenever he
glance at Austria and beyond
Austria at the Italian Tyrol with
it's unhappy subjugated inhabitants
of the oldest Germanic stock in
Europe. Nor can anyone yet mea-
sure the effect upon the colored
races everywhere of the smashing
of the sole surviving independent
country on the continent of Africa.
1t may not manifest itself openly
for years, but wherever there are
men of dark skins the sense Of
outrage and betrayal is intense.
That glorious victory in Ethiopia Is
bound to have repercussions not
only in Africa but in India and
China as well. 1t does not suffice
to reply that this sort of wicked
ness has gone on before ard that
white supremacy has not suffered.

Since general conclusions and
workable hypothesis must be OBJ
tanned from the analytical study OF
data drawn over a wide enough
and varied enough areas to show
fundamental, rather than local or
special trends, the rather compre-
hensive picture of one slum district
in Detroit may serve only as a
single contribution toward the es-
tablishment of certain underlying
principles rather than a definite
proof of any theory. In this account
of Detroit East Side Stun Area
that has been selected for for de-
molition and reconstruction in the
low cost housing field. wish to
point out the main characteristics
with particular emphasis on some
of the causes of deterioration that
seem to have been overlooked in
many studies in other cities.
Social surveys Of major crimes,
Juvenile delinquency, diseases,
known to be influenced by environ
ment, and dependency for the year
1929, 1882, 1888, were conducted
over the entire city Of Detroit. Al
most invariably, composite indica-
ton of social blight was found to
coincide with physical deterioration
of structures. 1t is not true, OF
course, that every survey showed
the hfgest rate in the same areas.
A certain unfavorable condition
might be alarmingly high in
neighborhood that showed no 9TH
! er symptom of social decline.
| AS early as 1882 the people Of
Detroit showed symptoms Of shar-
ing an awaken interest in housing
Radio stations sent crews equipped
with microphones into the worst
slum areas and presented horrify-
ing word pictures of existing con-
ditions. The Newspapers carried
stories, pictures, and charts. wo-
mems civic clubs, organizations,
church workers, and influential
citizens devoted themselves to the
exposure Of unsanitary and shame
full conditions. Impetus was given
to this trend of public opinion by
the publication of statisticc and da-
drawn from a city-wide social sur
survey gathered by DR.. James Her
man, who for many years had been
interested in better housing and
environmental conditions for fami-
lies with low-incomes. DR.. Herman
at that time was executive secre-
tary, an inspiration of the Michi-
gan Housing Association, a non
profit philanthropic organization.

WHY OUR CIRCULATION DRIVE
SUCCEEDED

The big annual circulation campaign,
which the Detroit Tribune has been con-
Quoting for the past seven weeks, came to
a successful close, Saturday.
The first prize consisting of 1886 four
door Pontiac 6, was won by L. G. Blount;
the second major prize, 1886 Tudor Ford
V-8, being won by Miss Evelyn Bernice
Bradby Cash awards were also received
by four other contestants, including Miss
Mary Underwood third prize. Mrs: II.
Grier fourth; Mrs. Sarah B. Hill, fifth;
and Mrs. Bessie Martin, sixth.
There is a reason for the success of the
campaign.
From the beginning of the contest up
to the day it closed paid subscriptions and
renewals poured into the Tribune office,
in steady stream thereby demonstrating
the popularity of the Tribune and the uni
versal esteem in which it is held by the peo-
pie of Michigan. :.
The amazing success of the Tribune's
subscription drive, as expressed by big
increase in circulation, also reflect the eff
ficiency of the Liner Circulation Service
and their able representative, W. ]. Kirk
patrick, who conducted the campaign.
Their demonstrates that local economic
conditions are improving and increasing
numbers of the unemployed are returning
to work Finally, the way in which so
many citizens co-operated by subscribing
to the Tribune and extending subscriptions
already in force, proves that the masses of
our own people are proud of and have I'M
shakable faith in the Tribune, their home
town paper, and are eager to give their
support in still further increasing it's sue
cess and usefulness in the community.
During the campaign just closed, we
not only increased the Tribune's already
large circulation to a point far b e y o n d
that of any other Negro newspaper in
Michigan; thereby guaranteeing our adj
vertisers still better results through larger
coverage; but we also sold very substan-
tial number of cash trade cards, in denomi-
nations from five to fifty dollars each.
The purchase of these trade cards, by the
business people of Detroit, who share with
us their advertising and job-printing pa
tronage, have given tangible proof of their
faith in us and confidence in the continued
success and future development of their
home town newspaper, the Detroit Tri-
bune.
We are indeed grateful to each and
every contestant who participated in our
subscription campaign. We are likewise
deeply grateful to Mr.. Kirkpatrick and the
Liner Company, and the thousands of
friends who generously co-operated with
the contestants and the Tribune, in helping
to make our subscription contest the signal
success it proved to be.
1t is our ambition and determination to
give the people of Detroit and Michigan
Negro newspaper which will continue to
grow and develop and increase in it's abili-
ty to render service to the race.

WATER PIPE THAWING
PRICE is REDUCED

Owing to the very large number of
frozen water service pipes in towns
served by the Minnesota Power and
Light Company, the company has
made discount of 500 on the first
hours use of their equipment. This
discount is effective from January to
July of this year only and is made
retroactive so that those customers
who have been charged or have paid
$1,000 will have credits due them on
the basis of the above discount, MAX
ing the cost $500 net.
The big part of pipe thawing job
is getting equipment ready to do the
work. With the size of the equip
ment the Power Company uses, a COM
plete thawing job can be done in from
two to fifteen minutes. City mains of
fairly large size are being thawed out
in from two to twelve hours depend
ing on size and length of the frozen
section. Charges for main thawing
is done on a cost basis.
Thawing pipes electrically saves a
great deal of money in digging costs
and is always much faster. There is
one precaution which is sometimes
