Separate Colleges Are
Silly Says US. Judge

ANNAPOLIS. Md, ~ It would
be SILLY" for the State of Mary
land to build separate colleges for
Negro and white professional and
graduate students, Judge Norris
A. Soper, of the United States Cir
cult court of appeals for the fourth
district, told the House Ways and
Means Committee here March "a.
Judge Soper declared it was up
to the legislature to decide" if Ne
gro students should be admitted
to graduate schools of the Univer-
sity of Maryland.
There has been no friction in
the law school because of the Ne
gro student there" Judge Soper
told the committee. II don't see
that it is likely to cause any
toruble.
II think it would be silly for
Maryland to build up a dental
school, a medical school, a law
school and other professional
schools just for a few colored boys
a year.
It's up to the legislature to de-
eide. If you say so, l think il will
work out SO that we would say in
later years, Why had we been
worrying about this ?"

Raleigh, Feb. 4.-Lieutenant Cover
nor w. F.. Horton is getting in Ice
hind the Senate committees which APP
pear to be dilly-dallying and is ask
ing why they cannot get down to
work and show more speed. pointing
out that the Senate cannot proceed
with it's work unelss the committees
take action on the bills before them
and report them either favorably or
unfavorably.
During the session Wednesday, Lie
tenant Governor Horton suggested
that he would like to see more action
from the Senate committee on public
welfare, of which Mrs. f. l.. Mckee,
of Sylvia, the only woman member of
the Senate; is chairman. This is the
committee which now has before it
the bill introduced by Senator L. l..
Gravely, of Rocky Mount, providing
for old age pensions and aid to de-
pendent childIen, and which is re-
garded as the bill having the personal
support of Governor Clyde r. Hoey.
The trouble with this committee
and the lack of progress it is making
on this bill is not the chairman, how
ever, DuI largely UccduSe OeudlOI
John Sprunt HILL of Durham, has
been objecting to almost every section
Of the bill and has been insisting on
making long speeches in the commit
tee meetings setting forth his objec-
tons and telling the committee how
he thinks the bill should be written
according to these who have been at
tending the sessions of this commit
tee. They maintain the committee
could already have completed its con-
sideration of this bill but for Senator
Hill and his insistence upon discuss
ing almost every section.
The bill provides that the county
board of welfare and the board of
county commissioners in each county
shall select those who shall become
eligible for old age pensions and aid
to dependent children. Senator Hill
thinks the eligibility should be deter
mined either 10y a central board in
Raleigh or by the county board of
health. Indications are, however, that
the bill will be approved by the COM
m.ttee about as now drawn.

straight from Jackson Heights
Long Island), and working hours
were not easy in her picture. Joe
went off at six in the morning
driving out to the studio with an.
other actor from the cast and re.
turning late in the evenings.
Meanwhile the. bills at the hoteI
were giving Janet heart attacks
every time the discreet gray. en-.
velope was presented to, her.
Finally she took matters in hel
own hands and began the rounds
of the real estate offices. She soon
learned, after being shown English
manor houses, Italian villas and
Austrian palaces for rent at the
staggering figures you might i'm
agine, to leave her mink. coat at
home when she went on her house
hunting jaunts.
Finally she found. the house. It
wasn't little white dream house
it was a small edition of the
architects idea Of an English
manor house. That is, it was built
of brown stucco and had great
many darker brown exposed beams
here and there over it's facade.
But it did have a comfortable,
spacious living room for a house
so small, a small alcove for. din
ing and a good-sized. kitchen. Up
stairs there was large masters
bedroom, a guest. room and bath.
And it was nicely. furnished. The
living room had simple, colonial,
modern furniture and a grand
piano and Janet saw at once that
she could do a great many things
with it.
Janet paid the first months rent
and made a call at a garage where
she priced modest second hand
cars.
That night, sitting. proudly at
the wheel of the car that cost a
hundred and twenty-five dollars
and looked worth two hundred, she
hailed Joel, at the. gates of the
studio.
That astonished young man got
in beside her and Janet drove him
out to their new home. That night
she learned her first lesson when
Joel expressed delight. Thereafter
she was to make all her moves
without fear of what Joel would
think of them.
"We've got to have a house.
warming" she said to him q few
days later without telling him the
reason why.
"Whom shall we have?" he
asked, willingly enough. 1--WE don't

CHAPTER 12

JANET STOOD there in the
middle of the room that was cost
ing them ten dollars day and held
the mink coat mutely. Her face
was a study in the mixed emotions
of bewilderment, pride and exas-
peration.
Put it on, princess" Joel urged
Janet slipped her arms into it
and felt the soft caressing warmth
of it as she. folded it about her.
Still =. DE- gpec..l. She looked
at herself in the mirror of the
dressing table and, looking, saw
that Joels face had fallen. It did
something, to her. It twisted her
heart.
Its beautiful" she said at last.
Much, too beautiful for me, my
darling"
Then she took it off and put it
back in the. box.
Joel was on his, feet to stop her,
''It's for you, Janet"
1T know, DEAR" she said, land I
love, it as though were going to
keep it but we. can't. You can't
afford to, buy. me such things.
We've got to find place to live
and. save, some money in case the
studio doesn't pick up it's option
and you've got to have lots Of
new clothes for your wardrobe.
Some day, you can buy me a mink
coat when we can afford it."
i've bought it," he said stub
Nornly. Give made a down pay
nent on it and TIL have it paid for
in eight weeks. Icouldn't give, you
a honeymoon when, we. were mar
Iried. I couldn't even buy you an
engagement ring"
I'VE weren't engaged" she said
with a twinkle in her eye. 1--WE
didn't have time"
Given your wedding ring only
cost a. couple of dollars. I haven't
done anything for you but pay the
rent and buy our food. Now, when
i want to do something that makes
me happy, you don't want it. For
the love of heaven, Jan, are you al
ways going to throw cold water on
my plans? Is there so much diff
ference between us that I'm always
to, think of a month or a year
Iahead before I can do one thing
that I want to-? We've got to I'M
derstand each other right now"
For one brief moment Janet
Thought that they were quarreling,
she thought that Joels citing in
compatibility was a serious thing.
But then she realized. that he was
hurt and that when people are
hurt they say things they do not
mean.
She took the coat. out Of the box
and stroked the soft fur.
"No. JOEL" she said gently. "I
wanted you to say these things to
me. really, want to keep the
coat! It's the most beautiful thing
4 have ever had. Ihad planned to
tell you some day that I hoped
you'd give me one"
Then she was in Joel's arms and
he was happy again, confident of
himself, forgiving her and calling
himself fool for having talked to
her as he, did. But he didn't see
the truth.
Janet was to have other gifts
without number from Joel but she
never had anything that she cher
ished as she did that mink coat.
It's value was beyond price to her
and its warmth was for her heart
because it was a symbol of Joel's
love.
Joels dislike Of responsibility
was obvious those times that Janet
mentioned their need of finding a |
home. It was simpler for the two
of them to say at the hotel while |
he was working on the Jarrett pic
ture, he pointed out.
Tania Jarrett was Federaps tenn
