lief Now, although / consider
this relief of Importance, still I
feel with the colored citizen that
the one hope Of the Negro for the
future lies in his being re-employ-
ed and integrated into the great
productive life of the country. It
Is because I hold such convictions
that 1 consider the platform Of our
party as the only thing which can
achieve for colored Americans the
enjoyment of American life which
is his due. The attempt Of the

modern reservations on which the

Guided from place in the produc-

disastrous to a great people but Of
alarming consequence to our en-
tire economic and social life.
II fully subscribe to the pledge
of the Republican platform that

Their the employment of the color
ed citizen in the gainfully occupied
life of this country.
"A restored and honest merit
system in the federal service is
something that the government
can do directly to further eeonom-
ic opportunity for the colored man
and I am firm that all necessary
safeguards be erected and main
tanned to insure that no man IS
prevented from entering the fed
eral civil service or getting de-
served promotion because of his
race or political faith. Further,
I am convinced that there are ma
ny things which can be devised

happy to subscribe Fundamentally
to such an endeavor"

SPORTS DOPE
"aiddy" i'Ishop)


Strange things happen IN the
ring as they do IA other lines Of
endeavor. I recall the contest IN
Seattle between Young Peter Jack
son and Arthur Walker. widely
known Australian. Il took place
at cermania Hall, Second and Sc
neca Street, December 4. 1893
It was a gruelling battle for two
rounds and then Jackson unlimher-
ed some Of his better punches. A
double hook, left and right, land
ed on Walkers durable chin and
the Australian kisser the canvas
vita a thud. AS he measured his
length in the resin, Referee Young
Choynski counted him out.
Soon as the fatal TO- had been
counted over Walker a crowd Of
200 or more people climbed into
the ring to shake Jackson's hand.
The terrific weight Of that crowd
was too much 70 rthe platform,
and the ring collapsed. Everyone
within the ropes hit the floor with
thud and it's a wonder someone
wasi't hurt.
The noise Of the collapsing ring
and The shouts of the crowd excit-
ed a white bulldog and spotted
bull terrier. They cut into one
another, adding excitement to the
evenings sport. Their fight was
even more fierce than the battle
between Jackson and Walker
Ask any old-timer around Seat
tie If he recalls Nell Pickerell and
he'll smile. Nell was strange
character. At the age of 16 she
detested the idea of being a girl
and donned mems attire. She wore
male togs so long that police Of
ficials would never allow her to
again get back into women's wear
Well, anyway. we had a pretty
fair colored light heavyweight ar
ound Seattle in those days. He
was Dan Godfrey Matched with
Billy Wright to box IS rounds at
what was then Fairhaven. several
local boys were carded on the
program In the prelims. Among
these was Jack Rhodes, who train
ed Young Peter Jackson. Rhodes
had fallen in love With Nell Pick
erell.
When it came time to leave for
Bellingham, Rhodes had Miss Pr
ckerell's hair bobbed and dressed
in pants and coat they headed for
the scene of the battle. The day
of the contest Miss Pickerell help
ed the boys put up the ring, pass
ed out bills and went in Rhodes
corner that evening as chief sec
ond. When Godfrey and Wright
went into the ring the fair handler
was official timekeeper.

FIJI. A. PROMOTES
HEALTH STANDARD
Advice Issued on Best Water
and Sewage Fa-
CiIitieS.

In cooperation with the United
States Public Health Service and the
various State health departments, the
Federal Housing Administration moved
this week to add another factor in
protecting the home owner under the
insured single mortgage system against
health hazards brought about by pol
luted water and improper sewage dis
posal.
The Federal Housing Administra-
tion strongly recommends, where pos
sible, the use of public water and
sewage facilities. This applies particu-
larly to the small home owner, as the
cost of public water mains and sewers
will be found to be considerably less
than the cost Of installing properly
constructed private water system and
individual septic tank. In addition,
there will always be assurance of an
abundant supply of pure water and
the safest means of disposing Of
domestic sewage.
Where public water mains and
sewers are not reasonably available
properly constructed and located pri-
vate wells and septic tanks are per-
mitted. To cover such cases the
Technical Division Of the Federal
Housing Administration is providing

each of its insuring Offices with ap-
proval forms which have been de-
veloped with the assistance of the
office of the surgeon general of the

State health authorities.
BY working in close cooperation
with the State health officials there
will be assurance that all State and
local sanitary regulations have been
complied with and that the danger
of communicating wells on the subject

will be reduced to the minimum and

Safeguarded. Enthusiastic response TO
the Federal Housing Administration
and to the United States Public Health
Service has been made by the States

ARCHITECTS WOULD
ADVISE BANKERS
Williamsburg Session Will
Take Up Joint Conference
on Home Lending.

WIN the American Institute of
Architects meets May in Williams
burg. Va, for its annual session, one
OF the chief problems will be to work
out some feasible plan whereby the
banks of the United States engaged
in lending money for houses may have
the benefit Of architects advice on
planning and construction as well
as their own check on the borrowers
credit.
In discussing the value to banks
of an architects advice on housing
loans, the Architectural Forum in its
May issue points to the recent work
of Richmond Harold Shreve of New
York, Housing Committee chairman
of the American Institute of Archi-
tects, in fighting against professional
reticence to promote among the coun-
try's architects a small-house clinic
which lenders have welcomed as a
key to safeguard small-house lend
ing.
Bankers Are Interested.
Noting the amount Of house lend
ing in which the commercial banks
are engaged. Banking, official organ
of the American Bankers Association,
surveyed the country's banks last
month to see how bankers were handl-
ing this unfamiliar activity, what they
were doing to improve construction
standards. The results show that on
the average the Nations bankers were
found unusually interested in promot-
ing building revival in their respective
communities but only moderately
active in safeguarding standards Of
construction.
Partly because of the reaction to
this survey and partly with the hope
of gaining for his home-clinic plan
a broader base, Shreve has suggested
to President Robert v. Fleming of the
A. B. A. that discussions be held by a
joint committee of bankers and archi-
tects to bring about the kind of CO.
operation serving best the interests of
building, banker and architect alike.
House Must Last.
"Your.member banks" Shreve wrote
President Fleming, Have apparently
concluded that the best way to con-
duct a mortgage business is through
amortization. insuring a heavy re-
turn Of funds loaned The fact shown
in your recent survey that rs per
cent of all banks are now using the
amortized mortgage. must be gratify-
ing, as it allows for continued re-
investment Of these funds in new
building. Hand in hand with amorti-
cation, however, must 60 the assur-
ance that the house as a product
will last its appointed time"
Shreve, according to the forum, de-
clared in his letter to Fleming that
the F. H. A. had set up an excellent
system for appraisal of construction
and neighborhood values, but indi-
Gated he saw the further need of
some means which would offer lend
ing institutions direct and personal
assurance that the homes on which
they lend are built to fit the needs
Of the family and of quality which
Evening star., 1936-05-02

will minimize upkeep costs and pro-
tect resale values.
Some lending institutions have
satisfied themselves in this regard
by the requirement that the builder
have an architect" Shreve suggested.
Others have in addition adopted
minimum construction standards
against which every plan submitted
is checked. In still other cases archi-
tects have been retained on a salaried
basis, by lending institutions for in
spection and supervision He added
that some form of architectural serv-
ice in all cases adapted to the local
situation should furnish the answer
Other Topics for Discussion.
While the clinic plan would not be
the only topic for discussion between
the bankers and the architects, it
would be the main one. Other topics
Evening star., 1936-05-02

ripe for discussion are the advantages
of lending from plans and speciflca-
tions, architectural inspection by fee
or salsry and formulation Of minimum
construction standards for various Sec
tions Of the country.
If and when the joint meetings are
held, it is not yet known whether the
banks will contend that they are re-
ceiving adequate protection from the
F. H. A. They have in part, accord

ing to the Forum, relied on the local
Offices Of F. H. A. for discovery of
prospective borrowers and the ap-
praisal Of property, the borrowers
credit and his plans. Commitments to
lend to operative builders have been
general, the checking Of plans by the
banks in such cases purely cursory.
1t is thought that the F. H. AS lifting
of foreclosure fears has been the cause
of this.
