ON NEGRO ART

Boston, Mass.-(Ai y P) Miss
Savage. noted sculptress and art
instructor, this week aired her
views on the production OF African
art by colored students, declaring:
81 am opposed to the theories of
the critics that the American Ne
gro should produce African art.
For the last 300 years we have had
the same cultural background, the
same system and the same stan
dards Of beauty as white Ameri-
cans. In art schools, we drew from
Greek casts. We study the small
mouth, the proportions OF the fea-
lures and limbs It is impossible TO
go back to primitive art for our
models"
Miss Savage said she believes,
however, that there are certain
traits and racial characteristics
which occur frequently in an ar
lists work which approach the
primitive. Some of her pupils. she
says, produce sculptures reflect
ing a strength similar to that OF
primitive art, and it is also evil
dent i'm the imagination and sense
of rhythm possessed by her pupils.

white MOTHER NAMES
MINISTER AS FATHER
OF ABANDONED BABY
Police Release Couple: No Legal Grounds
For Prosecution

The Police Department was sue
cessful last week, in locating the
mother of the five-month-old baby
girl, Dolores Jean, who was left
on the back porch of Rev. and Mrs.
Bolden, 132O7 Dequindre street, on
the night of Thursday, September
10.
A note was found pinned to the
baby's dress, telling the child's
name and age and asking the
Boldens to take care of her, as the
mother would never return to
claim her.
The mother of the baby, a 81
year-old married white Southern
woman. was located last Thursday
at 1888 Grant, through informa-
ton said to have been furnished
by Mrs Bolden The woman it is
alleged, acknowledged that the
baby is hers and that it's father is
married colored minister.
The woman's husband was in
Detroit when the baby was born
but is now in the South. Because
of the impoverished condition OF
the family which is on welfare
| aid. the mother of eleven children
states that she found it difficult T.
care for her family. She and the
minister are alleged to have held
clandestine meetings, and after the
birth of Dolores Jean five months
ago, all went well until the child
began to turn dark and show visi-
bic traces Of Negro blood
The mother 1T is said, then de-
cided to get rid of the baby before
her white husbands return from
the South, hence, the infant was
placed on the minister's porch.
Rev Bolden and the mother OF
the baby were placed in temporary
custody after her identity was dis
covered last week, but they were
both later released, as there were
no legal grounds for prosecution
Rev. Bolden is pastor of the
Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, on

ployed at the Ford Motor Plant.

Joe Louis and his manager, John
Roxborough, arrived in Detroit by
plane at noon Wednesday, follow
ing the Brown Bomber's' decisive
defeat Of AL Ettore, in the fifth
round of their scheduled fifteen
round bout i'm the Philadelphia
Municipal Stadium, Tuesday night
Joe and Roxborough were both
visibly gratihed over the outcome
of the fight, as the victory brought
Joe still nearer to the world heavy
weight title and demonstrated that
his proves as a knockout special
list is unimpaired.
1t is unofficially reported that
the Brown Bomber's' next start
in his comeback campaign may
probably be with Jorge Brescia
the Argentine heavyweight, some
time in October, at the Hippodrome
in New York Joe is eager for a
match with Schmeling or Braddock
but it is not thought likely that
this opportunity will be afforded at
an early date.
The fight at Philadelphia Tues
day night was witnessed by a
crowd of approximately 10000.
Louis was master of the bout from
beginning to end and floored his
| 22-year-old Italian opponent once
| in the first round and again in the
fourth, before the final knockout
in the fifth round.
Ettore. who was given fine sup
port by the cheering section of his
Philadelphia fellow-citizens, fought
with rare courage and took lots OF
severe punishment, but didn't have

The thousands of Detroiters who

with customary JOY and enthusi-
asm. The pandemonium of the
masses. however, did not break
loose on Hastings street, St An
tome, and other densely populated
colored districts. as on previous
occasions when Joe blasted his
way to knockout victories. There
was celebrating, of course Auto
mobiles with sirens wide open rae
ed up and down the streets; while
men, women and children cheered
and paraded through certain dis
tricts, but not quite so wildly as
before.
This is probably due TO the fact
that Louis has knocked out so
many opponents that his victories
are coming TO be looked on as mat
ters of course.
