from various Government fact finding
agencies of unquestioned impartiality
Nothing certainly could be more un-
prejudiced than a Census Bureau bull
letin yet the evidence that local women
score far better than the national par
as job-getters and job-holders can be
read plainly between the lines of a
recent analysis of social economic
groups of the District by Census
Bureau statisticians.
Clinching the argument in favor
of the Washington business woman's
supremacy over the Nation is an
other recent report. this from the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, no less
which redoubtable organization should
know more than your great Aunt
Minnie or the nosey neighbors in the
next apartment about the exact salary
every mothers daughter of us is max
ing, since its aim and purpose is COL
lecting taxes and more taxes from de-
fenseless females and others. This
compilation of income tax figures in
dicates that an amazingly larger pro-
portion of local women are required
to file income tax returns because
their salaries are above the $1,000
level than is the case in the States to
the North, South, East and West.
4 ND now for the facts and figures
to silence the skeptics of other,
less favored cities:
OF the nearly $4,000 native-born
white women of Washington employed
at the time the last census was taken,
over 80 per cent were engaged in
head Work"-that is, professional,
managerial or clerical jobs-as COM
pared with less than one out OF five
engaged in hand work" including
jobs as skilled workers and foremen.
semi-skilled workers and unskilled
workers such as laborers and servants.
Throughout America, less than so per
cent of the gainfully employed native
white women had white collar" jobs,
two out of five being engaged in man
ual work. Comparing the record of
the total feminine working population,
regardless Of race, the District was
still about 10 per cent ahead of the
national average, Notwithstanding
that nearly three-fourths of the en-
ployed colored women work as do
mestics.
At this point it must blushingly
be confessed that the Washington
employed women's quota of strictly
professional jobs fell below the national
average, but lib per cent of the
Districts feminine working legions
having attained professional rank as
against 1875 per cent of the working
women Of the country. This does not
necessarily mean that fewer Washing
ton women have wrested top-notch
Jobs for themselves than is the case in
other cities of the same population,
the Census Bureau experts point out.
1t may paradoxically be explained by
the fact that the average Washington
woman has been so successful IN get
ting good jobs for herself that the
outstanding successes do not stand out
by comparison as they would in a
town where fewer women work and the
ma ajority of those are employed in in
ferior jobs. In Washington two out
Of every three white women gainfully
employed hold jobs as clerks, as COM
pared with about one out of three in
the entire United States

Benny Goodman

writer saw Benny Goodman,
famed swing" maestro, broadcast
on the "Jack Oakie College" pro-
gram for Camel cigarettes at the
CHS Broadcast Theatre, 54th ST.
and Broadway, New York Tuesday
from 9:3O to 1890 p. m. The re-
markable thing about this broad
cast was that Goodman. a young
white man who is admittedly on
top, is so democratic and tolerant
that he carries as an integral part
of his organization, two colored
youths-Teddy Wilson, wizard of
hte piano, and Lyonel Hampton,
vibraphone expert.
- There has been some criticism
of Mr.. Goodman's arrangement
and adaptation of certain songs,
but we are willing. to- overlook q
good many things after seeing the
lesson this young man is teaching
America in race relations.
This was our first time to wit
ness coast-to-coast broadcast,
with part of the program coming
from New York, and the other
from Hollywood, California. AS
Goodman Stands by, and then
goes ION the air" with his two
colored 1co-workers, and as all
America "eats it up" in millions Of
homes, and the audience in the
broadcast theatre brings down
the house" with applause after
seeing the two colored lads per-
form, it is enough to make one
hopeful that the future holds bfgT'
ger and better things for Negro
youth.
Marian Anderson's Rise =
The story of the rise of Marian
Anderson is now being told on all
sides. The latest and most thrill
ing account is found in the New
York Posr-a special feature arti-
Gle by Michel Mok, who tells how
Miss Anderson came up from
humble circumstances in her Phi
, ladelphia home, to her present
world renown. In factS it was
only twelve years ago that Miss
Anderson had won in a COM
petition which started her de-
finitely on the road to fame.
We are getting a new set of
heroes, and we are proud. Negro
youth is taking its place in the
present scheme of things: Joe
Louis, Jesse Owens, Fred D. Patter
son, William H. Hastie, Hubert T.
Delany, Marian Anderson, Jane
Bolin, Elsie Austin, and many
others. It is well that we furnish
new evidence of our ability, as
group, to achieve.

West opened the king Of hearts
and East, after overtaking with the
ace, led the king Of spades. When
his partner played his Lowest spade,
East should, OF course, have cashed
another heart trick, but he refused
to believe that Mr.. LAngdon had
more spades, and also felt that Is
he held = stopper in clubs, he was
bound to win another trick.
East quickly received his Just des-
serts for his stubbornness. Mr.. Lang
don trumped the second spade and,
spreading his hand, declared IT am
playing out my trumps, which brings
everybody down to three cards. West
must retain the ace Of spades and
therefore can hold only two clubs.
I will then discard the queen Of spades
from dummy and hold the ace-king-
small Of clubs. II East discards down
to two clubs, my three clubs in dummy
will ali be good. And II he elects to
throw the queen of hearts, my jack

It did not take Mr.. Langdons op-
