gave Mr. Coward and Miss Gertrude
Lawrence the ovation they more than
deserved.
The authors curtain speech was
brief and to the point. He vouch-
safed the opinion that he was CRATE
full for his welcome. And yet one
couldn't help but feel that the audi
ence had not boiled to the enthusiasm
which was expected-that such a bur-
b. lesque, hoydenish, roguish gem as
RED Peppers" had not met with the
reception which it undoubtedly will
in towns which know their vaudeville
and their theater better.
When, for instance, Miss Lawrence,
handsomer than she has appeared In
several (and that doesn't mean so
many) years did hornpipe up and
down the stage, it Is this reporters
, humble view that many in the audi
ence actually thought she was doing
it seriously. And when the Pepper
tribe ironed out its family affairs be-
fore the disgruntled manager and
others of his particular ilk, several
members of those present felt inclined
to say that all of this was stuff and
nonsense.
OF course it was stuff and nonsense
but it was good. ribald, intoxicating
nonsense-and the sort of business
out of which, on a more loftily insane
plane, such major entertainment as
Design for Living" was fashioned.

other reason than that he has never
done the same thing twice. His

Whatever he has done he has done
with sincerity, hard work and great
love for the theater.
His new try at the moon is then
something which should and must
and will be seen. He has created
crop of one-act plays, some of which
will be liked, some of which will be
disliked, but most of which are ex-
cellent examples of Coward in a new
and facile mood.
He doesn't stick you in the ribs
with the savage traffic of Point
Valaine': he doesn't sentimentalize
all night long with the long -winded
enthusiasm of an author bent on
sending his customers home with
smelling salts, lilac, and the memory
of a balcony scene; nor does he find
it necessary to indulge in the long,
, loud laughs of which he is capable.

Hundreds Pass
Bier of Police
man and Wife

New York, Sept. 23-(C)-
The morbidly curious got their
fill for about six hours Tuesday
evening when long lines of
people crowded in the Howell
Funeral church, 18th ST. and
7th Ave, viewing the remains
of Policeman John II. Robert
son and his wife, Annie. The
cop shot his wife to death IN
their Edgecombe apartment
Saturday afternoon. The man
then shot himself to death be
fore officers arrived. Robert
son, a familiar figure on It'll
Ave, where he patrolled from
both to 142nd St, was from
Alabama. His wife was from
the West Indies. They had been
married 10 years, and Mrs.
Robertson had a son 10, by a
former marriage. She was six
years older than Robertson, be-
ing 45. There was no clearcut
reason for the double tragedy,
many friends saying the wife
was a "nagger' and the cop
got tired of it. Mr.. Robertson
was buried in Brooklyn We'd
nesday and the wife in Long
Island City by the side of her
first husband. Robertson had
been ON the force ten years,
and was a world war veteran.
His aim ON his wife was perfect
twice through the right
breast, and twice through the
left side while he was sitting,
and she attempting to run. He
shot himself through the mouth.

Anderson, declared that the other
14,925 were on their way or were
lost because of the change of the
location of the Kon Klave. But it is
believed that the strong public

The Omaha guide., 1936-10-03
By Randy Taylor

One of the many rumors going
the rounds is that Ralph Metealfe
is to turn professional and join
Jesse Owens in a worldwide tour.
The two, possibly the greatest
sprinters the world has ever seen,
will engage in match aces
This news is of special interest
from two angles. First great
crowds will be assured because it
will be known that the incompar-
able Owens will be pitted against
no set up and secondly, it will de-
finitely settle one question, who is
the greater sprinter? Notwith-
standing the su%perlative perform
ance of Jesse Owens at Berlin,
there are quite a few dyed-in-the-
wool track fans who are of the op-
inion hat no sprinter in the world
can consistently defeat Ralph Met
calfe.
l truly hope that this rumor is
true, aside from satisfying the ap-
petites of the fans, it will give
two truly great Negro athletes an
opportunity to capitalize on their
athletic provinces. 1t is indeed a
sad commentary that so few Ne
gro athletes, no matter how great,
have been able to reap the bene-
fit of their efforts. Aside from the
amazing Fritz Pollard of Brown,
Paul Robson of Rutgers and pos
sibly Duke Slater of Iowa, it is
fairly safe to say that the other
Negro athletes have been denied
the financial remuneration that
should have been their just due.

Still Time Left
to Seed Cowpeas
AS Forage Crops

College Station, Raleigh, July TO-
There is still time to seed cowpeas to
make up for the shortage of forage
crops caused by the drought in North
Carolina, says Enos C. Blair. extern
sion, agronomist at State College
Over most of the Piedmont region
the legumes such as lespedeza, Glow
erS, and row crops have suffered sc
severely from drought that a short
age of winter roughage is expected
on many farms.
Some of this shortage may be offset
by seeding cowpeas before July IS
Blair said. Cowpeas make excellent
rOughage fo~ livestock Rich inpro
tein, cowpea hay fed to cattle mini
mixes the necessity for buying con
centrated feeds.
Under favorable conditions, COW
peas produce a luxuriant growth
which reSists erosion and reduces loss
of water as runoff. The plant is also
a soil-enriching legume. When cut fol-
hay the plant food taken from the
land by removal of the crop is com
pensated by the nitrogen which the
cowpeas add to the soil.
COwpeas have an added utility
Blair explained, in that they can be
used as food either green-shelled, dry
shelled, or in the pod form.
With the development of the agrl.
cultural Conservation program there
is also an Increased interest in seed
ing cowpeas as a soil-building crop

A number of outer bastians, island
fortresses, had to be taken before
there could be a general attack on

Here a complete picture of the pow

other wards had known, but never
so complete.
Picardys smiling countryside with
rolling hills and deep valleys cut by
chalk streams-a rand of prosperous
farms sown with small villages
smitten by a storm which did not
pass away but endured for weeks
and for months Over an area 10
miles wide by 20 miles long the
whole face of the earth was changed
beyond recognition; the heart of the
hills was blown out, the smoothly
rounding slopes of other elevations
were splotched with craters, like
volcanoes; and everything in be-
tween was like an ancient Pompeii
or Messina through which had flow
ed streams of lava and burning ashes
not only to engulf but to endure.
Gone was all there was of human
habitation and the fields of human
effort, and the earth was sowed
with steel and deadly gases, and
overturned with the sterile under
strata, as if there was never to be
any return to of life here till the end
