NOrtn, naVng opened Win one
spade. should have merely rebid his
suit to two after his partners take
out. North's hand was pretty much
of q minimum, and with more even
distribution should probably not even
be opened. Therefore, he should not
have made the encouraging rebid OF
three diamonds. South could not be
blamed for bidding three no trump,
and West made a good gambling
double.
Feeling certain that declarer held
the king of clubs, West decided on
the opening of a small diamond. East
won with the king and shifted to the
10 OF clubs. Declarer ducked the
first two club leads and West, winning
the second round with the jack, led
a spade. East won dummy's queen
with his king and led a third club,
whereupon West made his ace and
queen and again played ';pade.
This time the 10 was played from
dummy. East won with the jack and
shifted to a heart. At this point
declarer jumped in with his ace and,
in desperation, f1nessed the jack of
diamonds and managed to capture the
balance of the tricks. But he was
down 800 points, entirely because of
North's optimistic rebid.

PLANNED HERE

Washington has been selected
by the Clan Marne, World War
veterans of the Third Division,

Rhine" as the meeting place for
their 1887 reunion.
The wearers Of the blue patch
with three diagonal white stripes,

the Wardman Park Hotel July IS.
Maj. Gen. P. c. Harris, retired,

named honorary president Of the
washington branch and honorary
chairman of the reunion commit

RAYMOND R. Robertson Held Title Of Strong
Man. for His Feats As Fire
Department Valiant

THE Strong Man" of the Dis
trict Fire Department was what
his fellow firemen called Ray
mond Randolph Robertson when
he was on active duty.
For he had unusual strength,
and used this on a number OF
occasions to save the lives of per.
sons while fighting fires.
Once he picked up a large
woman who his companions could
not bulge and carried her down
a ladder to safety.
Again a ladder started to slip
with a number of persons on it,
and he grabbed it and by a super
human effort managed to hold it
up until all made their way safely
down.
The worst fire he recalls was
in an Anacostia church, when
his company commander, Capt.
John VernStein, was killed by the
falling roof. A few days after
this he narrowly escaped death
when he was hit by a dreaded
backdraft and blown out a win
dow.
Another bad fire he recalls was
that in the National Hotel, in
1921, when two persons lost their
lives.
Failing eyesight, caused by
smoke and heat from fighting
fires, caused his retirement from
the department. Mr.. and Mrs.

SPEAKER
ON SCIENCES

Ignorance of the fundamental
laws of human nature, destroying
the balance between physical and
social sciences, threatens civiliza-
ton with grave dangers" DR..
Solon Buck, director Of publica-
tions of the National Archives,
said last night in an address be-
fore the College Honor Society OF
American University.
Speaking before the college, as
nine senior students outstanding
in scholastic achievement were ad'
mitted to the society, DR.. Buck
stated:
"The possibilities of the physi'
cal sciences are so obvious as
compared to those of the hu-
man sciences that they have in
recent years attracted an undue
proportion Of the best minds
into their service.
"UnleSS the balance between
the two can be improved, unless
for example, scientific progress
in destructive warfare is bal
anced by progress in the art Of
preventing wars, modern civili-
zatiOn may give way under the
strain"
The nine students who were in
Quoted into the Honor Society are
Susan Drager, Margaret Hall, Mar
guerite Stevenson, Frances Page
Helen Sanderlin, Owenita Sander
lin, Ethel Whitlow, Richard Hum
mer and William Powell.

the buttocks off the floor until the
body is in a straight line from
chest to the angle at the knees.
Very slowly, as if you were moving
one vertebra at a time, begin to
lower to the floor. The longer
you take, the better the exercise.
Sit up with legs straight out in
front, feet together. Have the
back straight so that right angle
is formed at the hips.
Without disturbing this angle,
lie back on the floor with feet up
in the air, knees straight. Increase
the muscular work Of the legs by
curling the toes down toward the
body. Can you do it? Then, with
out pushing yourself with the
hands, return to sitting position
and try it over again.
Now for an exercise in standing
position: Up on the toes, the body
in perfect alignment, which means
the back is straight, hips and
thighs in. Hold the arms straight
out at the sides. Without lower
ing the heels to the floor, slowly
go into a half-knee bend several
times, continuing to hold the arms
straight out at the sides. That
will give you a sense of balance |!
Take all these exercises slowly.
They should leave you feeling re-
laxed and rested.

seventeen, he had experience II
coal-mines, doing work far beyond
his years, receiving almost nothing
for it; learning about labor agents
labor camps, and discrimination.
When he was seventeen he hap
pened to see a leafiet announcing
a meeting Of the Unemployment
Council. That was in Birmingham
Herndon attended the meeting
and for the first time realized thai
the "same vicious interests that
were expressing Negro workers
we're doing the same thing II
white workers, that both black anc
white worker could solve their
problems only by a united effort
against the common enemy" He
was then ripe for the suggestion
that Communism provided thai
united effort" His activities
thereafter among the coal-miners
and the share-croppers Of Alabams
and his evident affiliation with the
Communist Psrty brought him in
disrepute with the police; and more
than one attempt was made priol
to tie Atlanta incident to indict
him. He ,served more than one
jail sentence, although they were
each of short duration, since nc
charge could be found against him
"Let Ne Live" contains an ex-
pose of the prison system in the
South and especially of conditions
in the Fulton County jail, in
Georgia, for Herndon tells of the
lack of sanitation and medical at
tention, Of unpalatable food, of
deliberate tornenting by the Jail
ers, of a corpse left in his cell for
twenty hours, etc. When after
twenty-six months under unbeliev-
ably vile conditions he was re-
leased on bail, he was not as
overjoyed as one might expect.
He knew that nothing had been
really solved: zone great truth /
discovered at the moment of my
freedom: That as long as there
will be men rotting unjustly in
foul prisons, neither I, nor anyone
else, car ever be free"
Whether or not one agrees with
the underlying philoso ohy of this
work as pointing the way out, one
cannot fail to find it a moving
indictments of the society in which
we live. 1t is not Herndon who is
on trial but a system in which such
evils as he describes can flourish.
He asks to live; bat his request is
for more than that. He, like many
others who work, would like a
larger reward for his labor; but
he also pleads for a world in
which "justice, enlightenment and
humanity should be practiced
among men," This book serves to
dramatic the oppression Of work
ers, Negro and white, the evils of
antiquated systems of law that
permit such abuses as the chain
gang, the dehumanizing effects of
poverty and ignorance, the COM
mon cause of labor. 1t is not
Herndon alone, but many others
who are saying with him, eve

not only social equality, but every
kind of equality. To this end l

This was Angelo Herndon's an
swer to Judge Wyatt when in 1892
he was convicted of attempting to
incite to insurTeetion," under a
Georgia state law, first passed in
1861, to prevent slave insurrec-
tions. and revised in 1871 to in
clude "any attempt to induce
others to join in combined re-
sistance to the lawful authority Of
the state" It is well known that
Herndon as a boy of nineteen was
arrested twenty-four hours after
he had taken part, before the
Atlanta Courthouse, in a demon
stration by a thousand Negro and
white workers who were asking
for adequate relief; that he was
kept in Jail for eleven days with
out any charges being brought
against him; that finally Com
munist literature found in his
room rave the authorities an OPP
portunity to invoke against him
an old law passed during the Civil
War to prevent instructions of
slaves; that he was imprisoned for
llOIC t4Aali wv yCdAo anu tACAA
released on bail; that unless the.
Supreme Court of the United
States now reverses his indictment
he will be doomed to eighteen
years on the Georgia chain gan.
Angelo Herndon reviews these
facts in his autobiography, "Let
Ne LVe," which has just come
from the press. He reviews also
the circumstances which led to his
being part of that demonstration
before the Atlanta Courthouse, in
June, 1882 - circumstances which
begin with his birth as the son of
a coal-miner, in Wyoming, Ohio.
His earliest memories are OF
poverty.
"Get an education, Angelo. Lift
Yourself above our condition" This
was impressed upon Angelo even
before he started to school. They
were his fathers last words to
him. He took seriously the trust
out upon him and worked well in
school. But his schooling stopped
when he was thirteen, his father
having died when the boy was
nine. Most of Angeles "educa-
tion," therefore, has been in coal
mines, in labor camps and in jails.
